Trooper passes away in tragic drowning accident
Miranda Brumwell June 28, 2018
On the evening of June 22, 2018, Trooper Samuel Christiansen went missing. While swimming in the Ottawa River, he got caught in a strong current of rapids. Sadly, Trooper Christiansen did not survive.
The 20-year old's body was discovered on June 27, through the search efforts of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Aviation Unit, Underwater Search and Recovery Unit (USRU), and Emergency Response Team (ERT).
Trooper Samuel Christiansen, originally from B.C., served with the Royal Canadian Dragoons based out of Garrison Petawawa.
"The Petawawa military community is mourning the tragic loss of one of our own… On behalf of 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, I offer our deepest condolences to the Christiansen family, and to his fellow Dragoons who are grieving the loss of a comrade and friend," stated Colonel Micheal Wright, Commander 2 CMBG in a Facebook post on Garrison Petawawa's Facebook page. "Samuel Christiansen was proud to serve his country, and his loss will be profoundly felt by the Petawawa military community."
Sherelyn Lachapelle Christiansen, Trooper Christiansen's mom, posted on he Facebook page, "Our son, Samuel, went missing while swimming in the Ottawa River on 22 June when he became caught in a section of rapids. He has been located and has unfortunately passed.
"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Ontario Provincial Police, the Whitewater Region Fire Department, the military's Search and Rescue personnel, JRCC, his entire RCD / CAF Family and the Ottawa Valley paddling community who we know have been searching day and night for Samuel. Our thanks also go to Quebec Hydro for assisting the search by restricting their dam operations.
"Thank you for finding our son. We have received a flood of support from our home community, Ottawa Valley and right across Canada and beyond which has meant a great deal and are very grateful."
The Christiansen family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.

A Friday morning school shooting in Texas resulted in the deaths of 10 people, according to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, but police also discovered pressure cookers and pipe bombs around the school.
Santa Fe High School was the site of this morning's shooting. The gunfire was first reported at about 7:40 a.m. Friday.
The suspect in custody was identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, of Santa Fe, according to law enforcement sources. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a male suspect was in custody and a person of interest was detained and questioned. He didn't identify the two but said both were believed to be students at the school.
Gonzalez said most of those killed were students.
Police found pressure cookers and pipe bombs around the school, a law enforcement source told CBS News.
There was an active search for explosives, a federal law enforcement source told CBS News justice and homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues. Authorities were in the process of rendering them safe and asked the public to call 911 if they see anything suspicious.
Sources confirmed to Pegues that authorities were searching property related to the suspect.
Two students say their friend saw a kid with a gun and pulled a fire alarm as they fled the campus during the shooting. A teacher also pulled the fire alarm, witnesses said.
A sophomore says it was "chaos" when the fire alarm sounded and people realized it was an active shooter situation. John Robinson, 16, says he was in first period English class when the fire alarm went off.
"Everybody was just trying to get away from the school. They kept saying there was a shooter, people were shot," Robinson says.
He says he felt scared and simply wanted to get as far away from the school as possible.
As of 10 a.m. law enforcement was still sweeping the campus for the possibility of explosive devices, a threat they said they were taking "very seriously." They are also looking for other potential victims or students hiding in fear.
By 11 a.m. authorities were at another scene, about two miles from the school, where authorities say they were investigating the possibility of explosive devices inside a mobile home. Authorities later confirmed explosive devices were found both inside and around the school.
Like Columbine in 1999, this incident apparently involves at least two suspects.
The weapons used in the massacre were a .38 revolver and a shotgun that belonged to the suspect's father, according to the governor.
"I have no information if the father was aware the son had taken these weapons from the father," Abbott said.
Unlike the Parkland, Florida shooting, students actually witnessed one of the boys with a shotgun.
Reports are that 9 students and 1 teacher were killed in that attack.
Some of the students at the high school participated in the George Soros-funded and David Hogg-driven walkout in March to call for gun confiscation legislation, instead of demanding an end to gun free zones, which would open up campuses for concealed carry to stop criminals who engage in such activity as the alleged suspects did today.
While we mourn the tragedy, it could have been easily avoided or stopped altogether if we didn't have pretended legislation in place that is hamstringing law-abiding teachers and staff at schools regarding their God-given right to keep and bear arms.


John brought these home today. I just love the bright colors of pink, yellow, and green!
This one is going in our bathroom. He says it looks like the flower is emerging through the snow of winter.
I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday aren't you? What are your plans for this weekend?

We take several parameters into account. If you are new, you cannot price them very high. First of all you will have to try to create a market for your work. So in the initial stages, the prices should be relatively low. If you are a well established artist, you can quote a higher price. Then, rarity of the piece, theme, materials you use, cost you incur for bringing the work before the world, amount of work you put in, visual appeal, plus a little margin for profit all these should be taken into account while fixing the price of an art work.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 254 › Louie v. United States
Louie v. United States, 254 U.S. 548 (1921)
Louie v. United States
Argued December 8, 1920
Upon an indictment of an Indian for the murder of another Indian within the limits of an Indian Reservation (Crim.Code, § 273, 328), an objection that the district court has no jurisdiction over person or subject matter because the defendant had been declared competent and because the act charged was committed on land which had been allotted and deeded to him in fee simple really goes not to the jurisdiction, but to the merits, raising the question whether the act was a violation of the federal law, and the judgment of the district court is not reviewable by direct writ of error from this Court, but should go to the circuit court of appeals. P. 254 U. S. 550. Clairmont v. United States, 225 U. S. 551, explained.
Reversed.
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
MR. JUSTICE BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Louie, an Indian, was indicted under § 273 of the Penal Code in the District Court of the United States for the District of Idaho, Northern Division, for the murder of another Indian within the limits of the Coeur d'Alene reservation. A motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction was overruled, and the defendant was tried and convicted. By motion in arrest of judgment, he objected in terms to the jurisdiction of the court over the person of defendant and over the crime charged on the ground that, before the time of the alleged crime, he had been declared competent and the land on which the crime was alleged to have been committed had been allotted and deeded to him in fee simple. Compare United States v. Celestine, 215 U. S. 278. This motion also was overruled, the defendant was sentenced, and the case was taken on writ of error to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That court, one judge dissenting, dismissed the writ of error for want of jurisdiction on the ground that, since the sole question presented was whether the district court had jurisdiction, its decision could be reviewed only by direct writ of error from this Court to the district court. See United States v. Jahn, 155 U. S. 109, 155 U. S. 114-115. Compare Raton Waterworks Co. v. City of Raton, 249 U. S. 552. The dissenting judge was of opinion that the circuit court of appeals had jurisdiction of the writ of error because an additional error relating to the merits had been assigned there, although not raised below.
A writ of certiorari was granted by this Court. 253 U.S. 482.
We have no occasion to consider the question on which the circuit court of appeals divided. The motions made by defendant in the district court raised a question not of the jurisdiction of that court, but of the jurisdiction of the United States. The contention was, in essence, that, by reason of the facts set forth in the motions, the defendant was in respect to the acts complained of subject to the laws of the state of Idaho, and not to the laws of the United States -- in other words, that he did not violate the laws of the United States. Compare United States v. Kiya, 126 F. 879, 880. Section 328 of the Penal Code provides that an Indian committing murder on another Indian
"within the boundaries of any state, and within the limits of any Indian reservation, shall be subject . . . to the same penalties as are all other persons committing"
the same crime "within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States." United States v. Kagama, 118 U. S. 375; Donnelly v. United States, 228 U. S. 243, 228 U. S. 269-270. The defendant in effect denied that the killing was, in the statutory sense, within the reservation. If this was true, an essential element of the crime against the United States was lacking, as much so as if it had been established in United States v. Sutton, 215 U. S. 291, or in United States v. Soldana, 246 U. S. 530, that the region into which liquor was introduced was not Indian country. That the district court for Idaho had jurisdiction to determine whether the locus in quo was a part of the reservation was not questioned. By Section 78 of the Judicial Code, the whole State of Idaho is comprised within the District of Idaho; by paragraph second of § 24, district courts have original jurisdiction of all crimes and offenses cognizable under the authority of the United States, and the defendant was arrested within the District of Idaho.
Since defendant's motions in the district court did not raise a question properly of the jurisdiction of the court, but went to the merits, there was no basis for a direct writ of error from this Court. Pronovost v. United States, 232 U. S. 487; Lamar v. United States, 240 U. S. 60, 240 U. S. 65. He properly sought review in the circuit court of appeals. In United States v. Celestine, 215 U. S. 278, and United States v. Pelican, 232 U. S. 442, where the defense was similar to that presented here, and in United States v. Sutton, supra, and United States v. Soldana, supra, the cases came to this Court by direct writ of error to the district court under the Criminal Appeals Act of March 2, 1907, c. 2564, 34 Stat. 1246. Hallowell v. United States, 221 U. S. 317, where a similar question was involved, came here on certificate. In Clairmont v. United States, 225 U. S. 551, 225 U. S. 554, it was inadvertently assumed without discussion that the question involved was one of the jurisdiction of the district court.
The judgment of the circuit court of appeals is reversed, and the case remanded to that court for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE took no part in the decision of this case.

Alarm A function on a watch that will make a sound or vibration at a pre-set time.
Altimeter An altimeter measures altitude, or height above sea level. Recording ascent and descent, an altimeter watch is an important piece of equipment for climbers, walkers, mountaineers and, of course, aviators.
Anadigi display A display that shows the time both by hour and minute hands (an analogue display) and by numbers (a digital display). This is also known as duo display.
Analogue A watch that uses hands and a dial to tell the time.
Aperture A small opening found in the dials of some watches in which certain indications are given, such as the date or moonphase.
Auto repeat countdown timer A countdown timer that resets itself as soon as the preset time has elapsed and starts again. The countdown is repeated continuously until the stop button is pushed.
Automatic An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that typically has a balance wheel escapement which automatically winds the watch in response to the movement of the wearers arm. In other words, the wearer's movement winds the watch up. Automatic watches can be stored on a winder to rotate the watch when it's not being worn. They may gain or lose a few minutes per month. If not worn for a few days they will stop.
Automatic watch A self winding mechanical watch. The oscillating weight moves around under the influence of gravity as the wearer�s wrist moves. As this weight moves the mainspring is wound. Originally invented by Abraham-Louis Perrelet in the 18th century, and refined by many other manufacturers since.
Automatic winding Winding that occurs through movement of the wearer's arm, rather than by turning the winder. A rotor turns in response to motion, winding up the watch's mainspring. An automatic watch that is not worn for a day or two will wind down and may need to be rewound by hand to get it started again. This is also known as self-winding.
Balance spring A very fine spring in a mechanical watch that causes the recoil of the balance wheel. The adjustment of its length regulates the timekeeping. This is also known as the hairspring.
Balance wheel The part of a mechanical watch movement that oscillates, dividing time into equal segments. This is the regulating mechanism that controls the watch's timekeeping accuracy.
Barrel A drum that holds the mainspring in a mechanical watch. The toothed rim of the barrel drives the train.
Bezel The ring on the outside of the watch case, around the dial, or the rim that holds the watch glass. It may have calibrated markings, especially on sports or divers watches, or be made of precious metal, and sometimes set with precious stones.
Bi-directional rotating bezel A bezel that can be moved clockwise or anti-clockwise. It is used for keeping track of elapsed time, or a different time zone.
Bracelet The metal strap that goes around the wearer's wrist. A watch bracelet is often made up of flexible, separate links that can be removed to adjust the bracelet's length.
Branded Watch Movements Branded Quartz Watches. Seiko Kinetic: Seiko use an innovative movement that responds to the wearer's wrist motion, storing energy and maintaining quartz accuracy. A power reserve indicator shows exactly how much energy you've created. Citizen Eco-Drive: Light powered, developed by Citizen, the Eco-Drive system converts natural and artificial light into energy to give quartz accuracy. They can store power for up to 5 years.
Bridge A part that is fixed to the main plate to form the frame of a watch movement. All other parts are mounted inside the frame, giving them freedom to turn.
Calendar A function that indicates day of the month and sometimes day of the week and the year. This usually has to be adjusted manually at the end of months with 28, 29 or 30 days. A Perpetual calendar adjusts the calendar automatically to compensate for the short months.
Calibre The model reference of the watch movement.
Cambered This refers to an arched or curved dial or bezel.
Case The housing that contains a watch's parts. Stainless steel is most commonly used although titanium, platinum, gold and silver can also be found. Less expensive watches are often made of brass and plated with gold-coloured or silver-coloured metals. Some cases are also made of coloured resin.
Chronograph A watch that tells the time and acts as a stopwatch. The timing element can be stopped and started without interfering with the ability to tell the time. There are many different types. Some have a centre seconds hand which keeps time on the watch's main dial. Some use smaller subsidiary dials or a digital display to show elapsed time. A chronograph used in conjunction with specialized scales on the watch face can determine speed and distance. Some can time more than one event at one time.
Chronometer A watch that has been vigorously tested in various positions and temperatures to ensure that it meets high standards of accuracy demanded by COSC, the official Swiss chronometer testing Institute. To be called a chronometer, the mechanical movement must achieve an average rate of between -4/+6 seconds per day.
Complication A watch function other than timekeeping. These include chronograph, perpetual calendar, tourbillon and minute repeater. A watch with any additional function is called a complicated watch.
Countdown timer This allows the wearer to know how much of a pre-set time has passed. Some sound a warning a few seconds before the pre-set time has elapsed.
Crown/Button The grooved button on the side of the watch case, used for setting the hands on a watch, and the day and date, where applicable. It is also used for winding the mainspring of a mechanical watch. The crown is also known as a winder, and can in some cases be screwed down to make a watch water-resistant.
Crystal This is the clear cover on the watch face (dial). It may be made of glass, plastic, mineral crystal or sapphire crystal (a scratch-resistant synthetic material). Its purpose is to protect the watch face.
Day/date A watch that shows the day and the date, either through apertures in the dial, or by hands on sub dials.
Day/night indicator A coloured or shaded band on a world time that shows which time zones are in daylight and which are in night-time.
Deployment buckle This refers to two curved strips of hinged metal on a watch with a strap that fastens the strap tightly to the wrist. It tends to be a feature of quality watches. This clasp effectively makes the strap into a Leather bracelet.
Deployment clasp This is similar to a deployment buckle but refers to a fastening on a metal watch bracelet.
Dial This is the dial of the watch, showing the time with the numbers or minutes marked on, that the hands show the time against.
Digital display A watch that shows the time in numbers, or digits, rather than hands and a dial. Liquid crystal display (LCD)is commonly used.
Dual time/GMT A watch that shows local time and the time in at least one other time zone, often home time if travelling abroad.
Duo display A display that shows the time both by hour and minute hands (an analogue display) and by numbers (a digital display). This is also known as anadigi display.
Elapsed time rotating bezel A graduated rotating bezel that is used to keep track of periods of time. The bezel can be rotated so the wearer can align the zero of the bezel with the watch's minutes or seconds hand. The elapsed time can then be read off the bezel, rather than the wearer having to perform a subtraction necessary if he used the watch's regular dial.
Electronic Watch Movements As with the mechanical watches, electronic movement comes in a variety of forms. Quartz and electronic watches: They are driven by an electrical charge (from the battery) which makes a small piece of quartz vibrate at a set frequency to regulate the time. Most modern electronic movements use something called a piezolectronic effect on a tiny quartz crystal to make it vibrate, which in turn drives the mechanism and allows the watch to keep extremely consistent time, typically only gaining or losing 10 seconds per month. The principle is significantly less complicated and therefore cheaper to manufacture than mechanical or automatic movements.
Engine turning This is a centuries-old craft that, today, involves the use of antique machines to engrave delicate patterns on metal watch components, including cases, dials, bezels and movements. It is also known as guilloche when covered with enamel.
EOL This is the end-of-life indication in quartz battery powered watches. The seconds hand will move in 5 second steps.
Escapement The device in a mechanical movement that controls the rotation of the gear train and impulses the balance wheel at regular intervals.
Flyback hand A seconds hand on some chronograph watches that can be used to measure time lapsed or determine the finishing times for several race competitors. It is a function also known as Rattrapante.
Gear train The system of gears which transmits power from the mainspring of the watch to the escapement.
Gold plating A layer of gold that is plated onto a base metal case or bracelet, using electroplating, to enhance its looks. The thickness of the plating is measured in microns (1000th of a mm).
Grand complication A watch with a grand complication has at least three functions, or complications, in addition to timekeeping. Often chronograph, minute repeater and day & night together.
Horology The science of time measurement, encompassing the art of designing and constructing watches.
Index An hour indicator on an analogue watch dial or bezel, used instead of numeral.
Integral bracelet A bracelet that is shaped and attached to the case of a watch in such a way that it appears to be part of the watch, with the lines of the case smoothly continuing into the bracelet.
Jewels Synthetic ruby gemstones that act as bearings for the gear trains, reducing friction and wear.
Lap timer A function in a chronograph watch that allows the wearer to time segments of a race. At the end of a lap, the timer is stopped and then returns to zero to begin timing the next segment.
Liquid crystal display Liquid crystal display (LCD) watches show a numeric display continuously by means of the liquid held in a thin layer between two transparent plates. The numbers are made up from seven segments that form the number 8 when all are activated. They are activated by an electronic impulse.
Lugs The arms of the watch case that hold the strap or bracelet.
Main plate The base plate upon which all other parts of a watch movement are mounted.
Mainspring The coiled spring which provides the power to drive a mechanical watch movement.
Marine chronometer A highly accurate mechanical or electronic timekeeper that is enclosed in a box and is used for determining the longitude on board a ship. Marine chronometers with mechanical movements are mounted on gimbals so they are always in the horizontal position that is essential for their precision.
Measurement conversion A feature that allows the wearer to convert one type of measurement into another. It usually consists of a graduated scale on the bezel or dial.
Mechanical movement This is the traditional watch movement. A mechanical watch is driven by a slow release of power from a mainspring via a set of small toothed wheels. The spring is wound up manually.
Micron This is a thousandth of a millimeter and is a measurement used for the thickness of gold plating.
Minute repeater A function on a watch that sound the time in hours, quarters or minutes.
Moonphase An indicator or hand on a watch which indicates the phases of the moon through 29 ½ days. Some moonphase watches incorporate a correction for the extra 44 minutes per month.
Mother of pearl The iridescent interior of a freshwater mollusc, that is often used to decorate watch dials. Its colours include milky white, blue and pink. Each piece is completely unique.
Multi functional A watch that can perform different functions, such as a stopwatch or a countdown time, whilst still giving the correct time.
Perpetual calendar A watch that automatically takes into account variations in the length of the month and leap years, and alters the calendar accordingly.
Platinum Platinum is one of the rarest and most durable of precious metals. It doesn't tarnish and has a radiant, beautiful white lustre. It is a popular choice for prestigious watches set with gemstones.
Power reserve indicator A feature of some mechanical watches which indicates how much longer the watch will operate before it needs to be wound again. It is also known as the Reserve de Marche.
Pulsimeter A scale on a chronograph which is used for measuring pulse rate.
Push-piece A button that is pressed to work a watch function such as a chronograph and an alarm. It can also be a corrector for a day/date/month indicator.
Quartz crystal The slice of synthetic quartz crystal within a quartz movement watch. When an electric current is passed through the quartz it oscillates. It oscillates at the rate of 32.768 hertz, the circuit measures this and uses the vibrations to regulate the time.
Quartz movement This is an electronic watch movement with a quartz crystal that oscillates when a current is applied to it. The power to run the watch is normally provided by a battery or a capacitor. A quartz movement is generally more accurate than a mechanical movement.
Rattrapante A seconds hand on some chronographs that can be used to measure time lapsed or determine the finishing times for several race competitors. Also known as a flyback hand.
Regulator A regulator watch/clock shows hours and minutes and seconds on separate dials, or sub dials, each with individual hands.
Rotating bezel A bezel around the watch that can be rotated. It has various timekeeping functions.
Rotor This is the oscillating part of an automatic watch that winds the mainspring.
Sapphire crystal A crystal, the cover that protects the watch face, made of synthetic sapphire - a transparent, scratch resistant substance.
Screw down crown A crown which screws down into a threaded tube to aid a watch's water resistancy.
Second time zone indicator An additional dial that can be set to the time in another time zone. This allows the wearer to know the time in two zones simultaneously. Usually referred to as a GMT function.
Shock absorber A resilient bearing which takes up the shocks received by the watch's balance staff and protects its pivots from damage when knocked or dropped.
Shock resistance A watch's ability to withstand an impact equal to that of being dropped onto wood floor from a height of three feet.
Skeleton case A watch case with a transparent front or back, allowing visibility of the watch's movement.
Slide rule A device consisting of a scale on the outer edge of a watch case which enables mathematical calculations.
Solar powered batteries Batteries in a quartz watch that are recharged via solar panels on the watch dial.
Split seconds hand This refers to two hands - a flyback (rattrapante) hand and a regular chronograph hand. Both hands move together but, to time laps or finishing times, the wearer can stop the flyback hand while the chronograph hand continues. This, in effect, splits the hand in two.
Stainless steel A durable metal alloy that is almost rust resistant and rarely corrodes or discolours and, therefore, is highly suitable for watch case and bracelets. It is sometimes used on the case backs of watches made of other metals.
Stopwatch A watch with a seconds hand that measures intervals of time. When a stopwatch is incorporated into a watch, both the stopwatch and the standard watch are called a chronograph.
Stepping motor The part of a quartz analogue movement that moves the gear train and in turn moves the watch's hands.
Sterling silver Sterling silver is a highly reflective precious metal, which is 92.5% pure and is often used in ladies watches.
Subdial Also known as subsidiary dial. A small dial on a watch face used for purposes such as indicating the date or keeping track of elapsed time.
Swiss A.O.S.C. A certificate of origin – a mark that identifies that a watch has been assembled in Switzerland and has components of Swiss origin.
Swiss-made A watch can only be said to be Swiss-made if its movement was assembled, started, adjusted and controlled by the manufacturer in Switzerland.
Tachymeter A set of markings on the bezel or chapter ring of a watch which measures the wearer's speed over a known distance. This is used in conjunction with the chronograph seconds hand.
Thirty minute counter A subsidiary dial on a chronograph that can time periods of up to 30 minutes.
Timer A device for registering intervals of time with out any indication of the time of day.
Titanium A metal with a silvery appearance that is stronger and lighter than steel. Titanium is used increasingly in watchmaking, especially for sports and divers watches as it is resistant to salt water corrosion.
Tonneau A tonneau watch is shaped like a barrel with two convex sides.
Totaliser A mechanism that keeps track of and displays elasped time, often on a subsidiary dial.
Tourbillon A tourbillon is found in mechanical watches and is a device that eliminates timekeeping errors caused by the small differences in the rates a watch runs in the vertical positions. It consists of a round cage, holding the balance and escapement. It rotates continuously at the rate of one rotation per minute.
Uni-directional rotating bezel A bezel that can be rotated in one direction only and is used to monitor elapsed time. A ratchet mechanism is often in place to prevent it rotating in the other direction. It is found on diver�s watches to prevent the diver from running out of air by overestimating remaining air supply if the bezel is accidentally knocked off its position. The fact the bezel moves in one direction only means the diver can only underestimate remaining air supply.
Vibration This refers to the movement of a watch balance rotating back and forth. The balance of a mechanical watch usually vibrates at a rate of five or six times a second.
Water resistance The ability of a watch to withstand water ingress to various pressures, as specified by the manufacturer.
Winding This is the action of tightening the mainspring of a watch. It can be done manually, by means of the crown, or automatically, via a rotor which is made to swing by the movement of the wearer's wrist.
Winding stem The winding stem connects the rotation of the watch crown to the movement of the watch, allowing the time and date to be set and, if mechanical/automatic, the watch to be manually wound.
World time dial A dial that tells the time of up to 24 time zones around the world. The names of the cities are printed on the dial. The hour in a particular zone can be read by looking at the scale next to the city that the hour hand is pointing to. The minutes are read in the normal way. The dial is usually found on the outer edge of the watch face. Watches with this function are called world timers.
Yacht timer A countdown time which shows or sounds warning signals during the countdown to a boat race.

Audi reportedly rules out RS3 Plus version
by Adrian Padeanu April 15, 2015
A new report indicates Audi will not be making an RS3 Plus version to sit on top of the RS3 Sportback. Speaking to Top Gear magazine, quattro GmbH's technical development chief Stefan Reil says Audi's engineers have reached the limit of the size of the turbocharger and if they go beyond that limit it will affect the engine's durability so it's not worth taking the risk.
Let's not forget that Audi did reveal a while back the A3 clubsport quattro concept which packed no less than 525 PS (386 kW) but for a production model it would require a larger turbocharger as well as a "lot of engineering", according to Reil.

In other words, the most powerful RS3 model of this generation will pack 367 PS (270 kW) and 465 Nm (342 lb-ft) from the five-cylinder, 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine which will also find its way inside the Audi TT RS where it will likely be modified to have a different output.
If Audi will ever decide to launch an RS3 Plus model, the power boost will probably be minor so it should increase to around 380 PS and 480 NM or so, but it might not happen taking into account the development costs would not justify sales of what would be a niche model.

Everything but boring. A good description for an extraordinary bottle of nail polish. Koh, a Dutch brand, happens to have some true stunners in their collection. And guess what? Blue Universe is no exception.
Blue Universe is a denim blue nail polish, enriched with duochrome flakies that flash from orange to green. That's just the beginning though, there's also plenty shimmer and glitter to feast your eyes upon. When I'm in the mood for a complex and distinctive polish, I can absolutely count on Blue Universe.
Does it apply as beautifully as it looks? Yes, it does! Two quickdrying coats and you're good to go. It does need a final layer of top coat to give it that glossy look, because it does dry rather matte.
I do find the brushes of Koh polishes to be a bit thin, but nothing I can't work with. The two major letdowns of Koh polishes are their price and availability. I don't know about you, but I don't find €14,95 a bottle that cheap. If you're living outside The Netherlands, you might have trouble finding a place to purchase these Dutch gems.
In The Netherlands you can buy Koh polishes for 14,95 EUR each at Douglas, MOOI or Bijenkorf. If you're outside Holland you can try your luck over at their online shop.

Q: My sequence of CCActions slow down after changing action type I am creating a sequence of actions as play back to recorded gestures. If I only pan the sequence it plays at full speed. If I only rotate, it plays at full speed. If I only scale it plays at full speed. If, however, I pan then rotate, rotate plays back about half speed.

Ектор Жермен Гимар () е френски архитект и дизайнер на художествено стъкло и метал, работил в стил Ар Нуво.

Биография
Роден е на 10 март 1867 година в Лион, Франция. Учи в "Школа за изящни изкуства" в Париж от 1882 до 1885 година, където се запознава с архитектурната теория на Йожен Виоле льо Дюк. За успехите си е награден с пътешествие до Белгия и Англия. В Брюксел се запознава с творчеството на Виктор Орта, което му оказва голямо влияние.

Произведенията му придобиват огромна популярност в началото на 20 век и са в основата на типичния за периода стил известен във Франция като Ар Нуво. Сред най-емблематичните му творби са спирките на метрото във френската столица. Заради авангардния дизайн множество парижани от онова време се обявяват за премахването на тези спирки, но днес едва ли някой може да си представи Париж без тях.

Умира на 20 май 1942 година в Ню Йорк на 75-годишна възраст.

Основни произведения
През 1898 г. построява жилищна сграда, наречена "Замък Беранже", намираща се в Париж (на адрес: Castel Béranger, Rue Jean de la Fontaine, Paris 16, Paris, France), която го прави известен.

От този момент се появяват много поръчки, които той изпълнява в стил модерн, спазвайки идеите си за хармония и непрекъснато движение. Така самостоятелно създава ескизи на мебели за интериори за построените от него сгради. През 1909 година строи "Отел Гимар" за подарък на своята богата американска съпруга.

We have had Prestige out twice this year, Once for a fan motor on one unit and a blown fuse in the breaker box on the other. Both times Chris diagnosed the problem quickly and got our air back running immediately. If you want an honest and fair price company to fix your Air conditioning, I highly recommend these guys!!!


Dr. Shimizu has provided for his readership a much-needed volume. For as long as physicians have practiced, many of the same ideas he espouses have been used, one might say implicitly. While this has its merits, it serves a far greater good to make these concepts explicit. Who better than Dr. Shimizu to do this? I have known and worked with him for many years in Japan, and the force of his intellect and analytical abilities suit him well for the task. This superb book should be essential to all who practice the "art and science" we know as medicine.

The Olympic Village beaver is back!
A couple years ago we posted this video of a wayward beaver who had made his way into the manmade wetlands of Vancouver's Olympic Village. He quickly became a news sensation , then was transported to a friendlier environment for his species.

A couple years ago we posted this video of a wayward beaver who had made his way into the manmade wetlands of Vancouver's Olympic Village. He quickly became a news sensation, then was transported to a friendlier environment for his species.
The Olympic Village Beaver )shown here back in 2013) is likely related to the beavers of Port Moody
There have been rumblings about another beaver in the wetlands over the past few months, and this video from the summer largely flew under the radar garnering only 56 views...
I talked to two people who confirmed they saw a beaver in the wetlands today, and went down to investigate the lodge that seems to have popped up overnight. It's made up of a bunch of mud, plant life and of course a great number of branches.
The city has installed some chicken wire to "beaver-proof" some of the trees like this birch pictured below.

The last time this happened the theory was that the beaver had swam in from the suburbs by way of Burrard Inlet to False Creek, then up into the wetlands through the outflow pictured below.
Here's hoping that the City decides to remove this guy from the wetlands ASAP. It may look like a peaceful place for a semiaquatic rodent to live but it's not exactly a healthy place to be swimming. HERE is a feature I wrote about how the water from the wetlands is actually made up mostly YUCK and gets filtered naturally before making its way into False Creek.

How Many Surface Tablets Has Microsoft Sold?
by Nick Kolakowski December 5, 2012 2 min read
AppleiPadMicrosoftSalesSurface
It's difficult to overstate the importance of the Surface tablet to Microsoft's overall fortunes in the consumer realm. If the device proves a resounding success, it could give Microsoft the momentum it needs to—in the words of CEO Steve Ballmer—become a full-fledged "devices and services" company.
If Surface fails, on the other hand, it'll add to the perception that Microsoft is becoming increasingly irrelevant among consumers, no matter how many licenses Windows 8 ends up selling to the broader market.
The Surface device currently on the market runs Windows RT, a version of Windows 8 designed for devices powered by ARM architecture, which dominates the mobility segment. While Windows RT looks exactly like Windows 8, it can't run Windows programs built for x86 processors, limiting users to what they can download from the built-in Windows Store app hub.
Research firm IHS iSuppli has estimated Surface RT sales at more than a million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to CNET. While that number's nothing to disregard out of hand, it lags well behind Apple's iPad, which sold 14 million units last quarter.
But research firm Detwiler Fenton offers a slightly lower estimate of total Surface RT sales—roughly 500,000 to 600,000 units, according to Forbes.
Next month, Microsoft plans on launching Surface Pro, a version of the device running Windows 8 on an Intel Core i5 chip. Unlike Surface with Windows RT, it can actually run those Windows applications developed for x86 processors. However, the device will have approximately half the battery life of Surface RT, or around four hours.
Surface Pro will also require buyers to put out a not-inconsiderable amount of cash: the 64GB version of the device will retail for $899, with the 128GB version coming in a little higher at $999. That's considerably more expensive than other tablets on the market, not to mention a number of laptops. But Microsoft is betting big that Surface Pro's support for Windows applications, and neat hardware features such as a flexible cover that couples as a keyboard, will give it that added boost among consumers and businesses looking for a touch-screen.

I maintain that brisk temperatures are no reason to keep you indoors. After all, there's good growing season left, and your garden can be taking advantage. It's also the prime time to get your lawn ready for the conditions ahead.
You can even start planting in the late summer to harvest some early fall crops. Species especially suited to cooler environments include spinach, pansies, and garlic. It's also a good chance to get your bulbs in the ground for next spring and plant some grasses, which bloom in the late summer and early fall.
Another great strategy for your fall time gardening projects might mean investing in a cold frame. These great little gadgets are lightweight, easily portable, and insulate plants or shrubs from the harshest of temperatures. If you've put in bushes or shrubs and the weather is set to get colder sooner than expected, cold frames are a great way to protect your investment and enjoy the foliage in the spring without worry.

If you attended the J&P Cycles Open House Rally this year, but didn't have the chance to meet Sons of Anarchy stars Tommy Flanagan (who plays Filip "Chibs" Telford) and Ryan Hurst (who plays Harry "Opie" Winston), you will get a second chance at the 2014 35th Anniversary J&P Cycles Open House Rally. Well, you'll get a second chance to meet with Filip who will be joined by Mark Boone, Jr. (who plays Bobby Munson).
In addition, to celebrate J&P's 35th anniversary, the rally is going to be a three-day extravaganza held June 27-29.

J&P Cycles is aiming to hit and exceed the 35,000 mark with the 35th anniversary event, which should not be a difficult task because of the great entertainment and the hottest new products in the motorcycle industry being displayed by more than 110 motorcycle vendors onsite.

There are several different ways in Deskpro to track which tickets are most important.
SLAs (Service Level Agreements) are targets set up by your admins for how soon you should reply to or resolve a ticket. They may reflect your company's own service standards, or contractual obligations your company has to your users.
A simple example is an SLA which states you will send the first reply to each ticket within 4 hours.
The way SLAs track waiting time can be more complex: for example, you can have an SLA that states a user shouldn't spend more than 12 hours total waiting time during your helpdesk working hours before their ticket is resolved.
An SLA may apply to all tickets, or only to certain categories of tickets. For example, if some organizations pay you for premium support, your helpdesk could have an SLA that applied only to tickets from those organizations. Some SLAs can be assigned by agents manually.
An SLA also has a warning time which specifies when you will be warned that the ticket is close to failing.
You can see SLAs in the Tickets app filter pane.
In this example, 7 tickets are currently passing the "First Response" SLA (figure in green), 2 are on warning (in amber), and 1 has failed (in red).
Click on the name of an SLA to see all the tickets to which it applies, ordered by descending SLA severity (that is, failing tickets at the top).
Tickets that are failing an SLA are red at the left-hand edge whenever they're displayed in the list pane.
Tickets on warning are amber at the edge.
To see the details of your helpdesk's SLA conditions, click the gear icon in the SLA section.
You can view the SLAs which apply to an individual ticket in the SLAs tab in the content pane.
This is also where you can select agent-assigned SLAs to apply to the ticket.
Click the gear icon at the top right of the SLAs section to open the SLAs section of your account Preferences.
From here you can use the Filter SLA results pull-down menu to change what the SLAs area of the filter pane shows.
For example, if you select Show only tickets assigned to me, then close Preferences, you see SLA information only for tickets assigned to you.
You can also use the Hide checkboxes to hide SLAs that are not relevant to you.
If a ticket is created by an agent, SLAs which specify the time until first response will not apply.
Tickets are assigned an urgency score from 1 to 10. This is a measure of how soon the ticket needs attention.
You can set the urgency of a ticket manually.
Your admins may also have set up automatic processes to set the urgency - for example, your helpdesk may use escalations to make tickets more urgent if they are taking a long time to resolve.
Here's an example of tickets sorted by descending urgency in the list pane.
The urgency scores are displayed on the right. Low urgency scores are colored yellow, shading through orange to red as the score gets higher.
SLAs and urgency are two independent systems. A ticket can fail an SLA or be on SLA warning, but still have a low urgency.
Priority is an optional ticket field. It lets you assign a ticket a priority level - these are ordered from lowest to highest priority.
Your admins set the number of different priority levels and their names.
While urgency and SLAs are internal to your helpdesk and can't be seen by users, Deskpro can be configured to enable users to set priority when they submit tickets from the web portal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kbeauty28 from Awesome Product I got this 2 days ago for my birthday, and it does EXACTLY what it says. Poured slightly hot water into it then my salts. Turned it on, vibrated nicely and kept the water warm for at least 30 minutes. I only used it for that long, so it might keep water warm longer. Not understanding the negative reviews, as it does what it says. I'll buy one for my boyfriend tomorrow.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Casper from Great Overall great. Not a lot of bells and whistles. Does what it says. Nice got bath to use with salts and oils. Relaxing!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stephen Waters from Doesn't work I bought one for my wife last mothers day and it didn't work, i took it back and swapped or for another one. I took that one home and checked it straight away and it worked fine. Recently my wife went to finally use it for the first time and it doesn't vibrate. Very disappointed, i couldn't be that unlucky to get two non working foot spas in a row.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosalee Adams from heavenly This morning as I sat in my bathroom with my feet vibrating and soaking in lavender salts I thought "How wonderful" We bought it initially for our mother who loved it too and who also used lavender.

The max depth is 3 inches.
My vibration feature stopped working after a few uses.  What causes this?

No. This footbath will accommodate a men's size 12.

Rolex GMT Master II 'Pepsi' in steel.
If you're circumnavigating the globe this summer, it's always a good call to be properly accessorized with the right watch, especially if it's a GMT or a worldtimer. And when you're talking about travel watches, you can't begin the discussion without first talking about the Rolex GMT.
Originally created for Pan-Am pilots, the watch has been a core piece of the Rolex product line since the '50s and their latest version recalls those classic models with a modern twist. The new Rolex GMT Master II has that classic 'Pepsi' bezel, which is now constructed out of ceramic and also brings back that coveted Jubilee bracelet.
Nomos Zurich World Time with midnight blue dial.
One of the most beautiful watches on this list has to be Nomos' Zurich World Time. That shade of midnight blue and the styling of the dial is perfect in every way and little details like the faceted hands and the spacing between the lugs and bezel show the incredible attention to detail that the brand is famous for.
Panerai Luminor GMT with steel bracelet.
What's not to love about the Panerai Luminor GMT? The Luminor case silhouette has existed since 1950 and their take on the GMT gives you a secondary timezone while maintaining the brand's signature styling without going overboard.
Grand Seiko SBGJ217 Hi-Beat 36000 GMT.
There's just something about a Grand Seiko that is so incredibly special. From its immaculate construction to the accuracy of its in-house Caliber 9S85 movement, it's hard to go wrong with their elegant Hi-Beat 36000 GMT. And if you're looking for something a little different than the usual options from Switzerland then you should look no further.
Tudor Black Bay GMT on leather strap.
As great as the Rolex GMTs are, many miss the vintage styling of the original models. This year, Tudor announced its Black Bay GMT and stole a lot of attention away from its big brother with the Jubilee bracelet. With its Pepsi-colored, vintage-style bezel and its traditional GMT functionality, it's definitely one that's at the top of our wishlist and we imagine it'll be on many of yours too.

Dating and Relationship Advice: Can You Truly Just "Have Fun"?
It's the classic dating situation: Two people meet. They are attracted to one another and begin to spend time together. The continue to spend time together and become intimate.
One person makes it clear that he or she just wants to "have fun" and does not want a relationship or to get serious. As time passes, however, confusion, disagreement and possible pain about this "non-relationship" grows.
So, is it possible to just "have fun" together?
Of course it is. When two people have an agreement that they are both wanting to be casual about their interactions with one another, it can be fun and enjoyable.
This, however, is not a committed relationship.
We certainly hope that there is fun and enjoyment in love relationships and marriages, but there are also other elements that the casual dating experience does not usually include.
There are many people who simply don't want to be in a love relationship.
They may have had painful experiences in past relationships and still feel too vulnerable and wounded to jump back into another one now, or ever. They may hold beliefs that they will lose independence and a sense of control over their lives if they enter into a committed relationship.
Or, perhaps, they are clear within themselves that they do not want that kind of depth and level of involvement with another person right now.
None of these reasons are wrong.
It gets tricky, however, when a person who is not wanting to be in a relationship does want to date and possibly be sexually intimate with other people.
Upon first getting together, it might seem acceptable to the other person to just "have fun." But attachments can happen over time. Feelings can deepen and grow.
The person who was initially okay with a non-relationship dating arrangement might find him or herself wanting more.
When both people do not want more at the same time, the fun quickly drains away leaving mainly hurt feelings and upset.
We understand that when you are first getting to know another person to whom you are attracted, neither of you really knows if this will turn into a love relationship or not.
At that first date, asking the other person to make relationship commitments to you is probably not a wise idea-- nor is it probably one that you would choose.
You are learning more about this person; you probably don't want to force things or end up in a relationship with someone whom you aren't all that excited about after all.
We encourage you to make commitments and agreements with yourself.
What is most important to you when it comes to this dating experience?
How would you like to be treated by this new person in your life?
Are there particular expectations that you have of him or her?
If the two of you are sexually intimate, what kind of agreements will you make?
While it may be unclear to you (and to your date) whether or not you want to deepen your interactions and eventually be in a committed relationship together, you can become very clear within yourself about what you want.
For example, if you truly are wanting to be in a committed relationship in the near future, be honest with yourself about that. Whether it's this person or another, if this is what you really want, admit it to yourself.
Communicate as you go along.
Keep the lines of communication open and honest as you are in this dating and "having fun" situation. Listen to what the other person is saying and ask yourself if this is acceptable to you at this time.
After a few months, you might want more. This is why continuing to talk is so important.
Again, we aren't suggesting that during the first weeks of dating, you corner this other person and try to get him or her to make a commitment to a relationship.
We also recommend that if your dating partner is clearly against being in a relationship and you would like to keep that open as a future possibility, be honest.
When you say okay to no relationship, that is also an agreement.
If you are amenable to a "no relationship" agreement, be sure that you continue to check in with yourself as the two of you spend more and more time together.
Be clear about what just "having fun" means to each of you in terms of dating other people and sexual intimacy.
Dating and attracting a love relationship can be difficult to do. There are a lot of unknowns and many occasions for potential misunderstandings.
Keep the connection between you and you strong. Stay open and be honest about where you are and what you want. Above all, trust that you can have the kind of experience and relationships that you desire.
