Description: The M-38 Explorer was a product of the exploration boom of the Old Republic, with thousands of people tracking out into the unknown attempting to discover new planets and lifeforms, the dangers were huge, as were the losses in life and equipment. The M-38 is designed to help deal with the dangers on unexplored planets, with heavy armour able to resist hostile animal attacks or lightning strikes with equal efficiency, and extremely advanced sensor systems, the M-38 could deal with most situations and survive. The M-38's brain is equally advanced, being designed so that the droid can help out aboard ship as well as out on its own on a planetary surface. These droids have now been phased out as the newer Arakyd Probe Droids are faster and cheaper, although the M-38 may be archaic in some ways, its sensor and logic systems are still far more advanced than those used in the Arakyd droids, making this older droid still popular with those that prefer the quality of this droid over the speed of the Viper Probe Droids.

The History of Adidas
The Top Ten Original Adidas Shoes

Adidas was founded in 1949, taking its name from the first three letters of founder Adolf Dassler's first and last names. Unveiled in 1993, Adidas Originals is the company's retro line of clothes. Popular styles and shoes of the 1970s and 1980s have been refreshed and reintroduced for the fashion market under the label, which Adidas says is aimed at ages 16 to 24.
The unisex Adidas Samba is one of the company's best-selling and most renowned shoes. Originally built for indoor soccer, it features a gum-rubber outsole and comes with either a leather or suede upper.
Rod Laver
These shoes take their name from the only tennis player to win tennis' grand slam -- the Australian, French and U.S. Opens and Wimbledon in the same calendar year -- twice. Laver wore nylon-mesh uppers to accomplish the feats and Adidas added a suede cap to the shoe for style.
Stan Smith II
Adidas' most popular tennis shoe received an update with various designers and artists offering unique colors combinations and patterns on the Adidas website. The Stan Smith II comes with the same dimpled sole as the original for maximum grip on the court.
The Gazelle is one of the lowest-profile shoes made by Adidas. The suede upper sits well below the ankle and attaches to a blown-rubber outsole. The Gazelle was originally introduced in 1968 as a trainer and gained popularity among soccer players of that era.
Beckenbauer
German soccer phenom Franz Beckenbauer was one of Adidas' premier endorsers in the 1980s. The Originals' Beckenbauer adds suede trim to the toe of the classic soccer boot.
Superstar 2.0
The Adidas Superstar was popularized in the 1980s by musical groups, in particular hip-hop group Run DMC. Members of the group wore the shell-toed shoes without laces on stage at concerts. They were reborn in the Originals line using the same shell toe and leather-grain upper.
The Samoa is another shoe style made popular by the urban fashion scene of the 1980s. The shoes feature a leather upper with a suede toecap and the Adidas logo on the outsole for treads.
The Dragon was a popular lightweight running shoe in the 1970s and returns with a suede/mesh upper featuring colors inspired by the time period.
The SL72 was introduced in 1972 for the track stars at the Munich Olympics. The nylon and suede upper features a track-style sole with faux areas where spikes might have screwed into the original.
Ciero
The Ciero was a shoe that gained popularity among skaters in the 1980s, according to Adidas. The outsole is a soft full-grain leather, similar to suede, but features a mesh tongue to keep the foot cool. The shoe is capped by a rubber sole.

A History of the City of Brooklyn and Kings County in two volumes, Volume I.
At the time of his death, in 1885, Mr. Ostrander had completed considerable MS. for a history of the City of Brooklyn and Kings County; had prepared many chronological notes with a view to fuller writing, and had accumulated a mass of material in the form of transcripts, references, newspaper and other reports. It was his own understanding that a first volume of a proposed two-volume history might be regarded as well in hand, and that the wherewithal for the remaining chapters was advanced toward completion.
At the outset of his undertaking the editor met the embarrassment of not finding any outline which might reveal the precise form in which the author intended to cast his work. Mr. Ostrander worked with a definite idea, but did not formulate this idea in writing, and only the completed expressions of this idea remained for the guidance of the editor. It became apparent that the author intended to rearrange and extend the matter for the earlier chapters. This matter was preserved in the form of a series of articles published in the Brooklyn Eagle, during 1879-80, covering the period from the discovery by Hudson to the beginning of the Revolution. The degree of attention which these articles attracted induced Mr. Ostrander to extend the series far beyond the range he originally intended to give to them. As a result these articles were not precisely consecutive, nor was the matter so ordered as to adapt itself to book chapters without material changes. Without knowing the author's design in detail, it was exceedingly difficult to effect these changes save upon lines which the natural symmetry of such a work seemed to suggest, and the editor has had no hesitation in so rearranging the material, and in changing such features of the narrative as had been temporarily essential to serial publication.
For the middle period, extending from the opening of the Revolution to the time of the consolidation of Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, and Bushwick, the author left a full narrative, and considerable collateral material. Beyond this point the chapters were in an unfinished sketch. In putting together the elements of this part of the work, the editor has been actuated by a wish to follow, so far as it might be apparent, the author's aim and plan. Possibly there is no occasion to offer apology for those passages in the body of the work, and particularly in the last chapter on modern Brooklyn, in which the editor has carried the narrative beyond the date of Mr. Ostrander's death. The few instances in which this occurs are obviously justified by the exigencies of the work. Nor should there be need for any defense on the part of the editor for the proportions of different elements of the work as now presented. No two historical writers would agree as to essential proportions in such a matter, and, without consultation with the author, no editor could hope to do more than compromise between such intent as appeared in unfinished work before him, and such ideal as to himself seemed wise.
Both author and editor have incurred obligations to Stiles's histories of Brooklyn and Kings County; to the Notes of Furman; Field's Historic Scenes ; the Collections of the Long Island Historical Society; the histories of Thompson and Prime, and to other authorities to whom acknowledgment is offered in the notes and in the body of the work. The editor is indebted to the excellent almanacs of the Eagle and of the Citizen ; to the Brooklyn Compendium, compiled by John Dykeman, Jr., and published by order of the Common Council in 1870; to the recent compilation, The Eagle and Brooklyn, edited by Henry W. B. Howard and Arthur N. Jervis; and to various local reports and publications which do not call for enumeration here.
Brooklyn, N. Y., March 5, 1894.
The name of Stephen M. Ostrander has been honored in the city of Brooklyn as that of a man whose career exemplified a stainless citizenship. The honors have been not those of public favor offered in a citizen's lifetime, nor of memorials after he has passed away, but the monuments of a cherished memory, the recognition of a generous and wholesome personality.
Stephen M. Ostrander was born February 3, 1832, in the city of Brooklyn. He was of Dutch stock, his earliest ancestor in this country being Pieter Ostrander, who came to America in 1659. When Pieter Ostrander reached America with his wife and three children—a son, Pieter Pieterszen,¹ and two daughters, Tryutje and Geertje—Peter Stuyvesant was Governor of New Amsterdam, and the settlement on Manhattan Island occupied a small patch of land on the southern point of the land now occupied by the vast metropolis of New York. Settlers had been living on the Brooklyn side of the East River for a little more than twenty years, and the Indians were still a formidable obstacle to the peace of the struggling young communities. Dutch immigration had not yet been checked by that bloodless conquest of the British, which five years later transformed New Amsterdam from a Dutch to an English colony, and changed its name to New York.
We afterward find Pieter Pieterszen living at Kingston. This second Pieter among the American Ostranders was born at Amsterdam, Holland, in 1650, and before coming to this country with his father had been enrolled as a cadet in the army of the Dutch king. In 1679 he married Rebecca, daughter of William Janszen Traphagen and Joostje Willems Van Northwyck. Among the children from this marriage was Hendrick Ostrander, born at New Hurley, N. Y., in 1693. Hendrick acquired the ownership of two thousand acres of land at Plattskill, which were evenly divided among his ten children. He was a staunch adherent of the Reformed Dutch Church, ² and served in the army previous to the Revolution. His marriage to Elizabeth Van Bommel, of Kingston, took place in 1724. His son Christoffer, born and died at Plattskill, was the father of Stephen Ostrander, born at Poughkeepsie in 1769, and afterwards of Pompton Plains and Brunswick, N. J., who was an eloquent minister of the Dutch Church. An illustration of the conditions prevailing at this period is offered by the fact that Stephen Ostrander preached in both English and Dutch.
The clerical Ostrander, who made an interesting reputation as a preacher in the early part of the present century, married Maria Duryea in 1796. His son, Abraham Duryea Ostrander, born at Pompton Plains in the following year, came to New York in his twelfth year, and began an energetic business career. From his earliest years he was of a studious tendency, and his self-acquired learning gave him an excellent mental equipment. He became a ripe scholar and influential citizen. For many years he led the first Sunday school in the Reformed Dutch Church of Brooklyn (corner of William and Fulton streets), walking to the meeting-place from his home at Flatbush. In 1820, he married Margaret T. Wilson, daughter of Peter Wilson, LL. D., of Columbia College, the tutor of Charles Anthon and other well-known scholars, and distinguished for having drawn up the constitution of the State of New Jersey.
Abraham Duryea Ostrander's three sons were Peter Wilson, George A., and Stephen M. Ostrander. George A. Ostrander, a graduate of Columbia College and of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, was the first house surgeon of the Long Island College Hospital. The other two brothers became lawyers, and it is among the interesting traditions of the Kings County bar that they were frequently in opposition in the same case. Under such circumstances their professional steel clashed brilliantly, but the firm affection between the brothers had no hint of strife or rivalry.
Stephen M. Ostrander, born 1831, was educated in this city and at Columbia College. He was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law while a decidedly young man, but soon made his personality felt in the life of the city. If his tastes led him to a studious life at home, his gifts and ambitions drew him into those features of political activity which demand voice as well as counsel. He championed the Democratic party, and until the close of his life he spoke his loyalty in no uncertain tones. He became one of the war horses of the party in campaign times, and was a respected adviser in those political times of peace when parties prepare for war. He would have made an admirable public servant, but party conditions did not bring him to the front as a candidate, though they welcomed his voice on the platform. He wished to be surrogate, but the nomination he sought was given to Jacob I. Bergen. He was not an insistent candidate within his party, and the rewards which might reasonably be considered to have belonged to him had not been bestowed at the time of his death.
As a lawyer, Mr. Ostrander was conscientious, painstaking, forcible. His genial personality made him popular wherever he appeared. His strong figure fitted his character, which was staunch and equable. By temperament he was inclined to see the whimsical side of things, while quick to exclude any element of this sort from matters commanding his serious thought.
Stories concerning him reveal his quick humor. One day a witty but not especially well-versed Irish lawyer called upon him for assistance in preparing a case. One point of perplexity with the inquirer was as to the motive power on the ferries before the use of steam. Knowing Ostrander's familiarity with early Brooklyn history, the inquiring lawyer demanded information as to this point. Before the days of steam, said Ostrander, they used to have horse boats. Horse boats? queried the lawyer, with a look of continued perplexity. Yes. Did the horses swim ahead of them? No, solemnly returned Ostrander, they had four holes cut in the bottom of the boat; the horse's legs passed through these holes, permitting him to walk on the bottom, and thus propel the boat. Good! said the listener, I'll win the case. And he did.
Mr. Ostrander's interest in American history was perhaps a natural result of his ancestry and his tendencies as a student. He early began the accumulation of historical material, and finally formed a definite plan for writing a history of the city of Brooklyn and Kings County. He was an active member of the Society of Old Brooklynites, frequently addressing that body, and as a member of the Long Island Historical Society,—in whose handsome hall, on Pierrepont Street, he was the first to lecture under the auspices of the society,—he found many opportunities to further his hobby of historical investigation. He also entered that fraternity of descendants of Dutch stock, the Holland Society of New York.
During the later years of his life he was a frequent contributor to the newspapers and local magazines, generally upon topics directly related to local history. Debated questions as to historical matters always interested him, and his pen was ever ready with a casual comment. He was a good debater, though not pugnacious, and never an ungenerous opponent. In his profession, in his political associations, in his relations with his fellow-citizens and with fellow-members of the different societies to which he was attracted, he was always well poised, highly respected, uniformly welcomed. His catholic tastes and sympathies gave him many interests, as they gave him many friends. It was as natural that he should be prominent in the Presbyterian Church, which he attended, as that he should be a leading figure in the Masonic fraternity, to which he was proud to own allegiance. His commanding figure, good voice, and easy manner made him a popular speaker on social as well as public occasions.
Mr. Ostrander married Annie A. Hammond on August 7, 1866. His domestic relations were in keeping with the fine symmetry of his character. No marriage could have been happier. In the preparation of the historical work which was incomplete when his short illness closed his life, he had the loyal appreciation and assistance of his wife.
He died on November 19, 1885. The extent of his practice and income might have indicated the probability of a considerable fortune, but he was too open-handed to have become a rich man. He died worth a good name.
Geology and Conformation of Long Island. Evidences of the Glacial Period. Theory of the Glacial Action. Back-Bone of the Island. Earliest Historical Description. Trees. Animal Life. Indian Tribes: Their Subjugation by the Iroquois; Habits and Habitations.
The geology of Long Island has always been regarded as a particularly interesting theme for those concerned in the study of such matters, since the examination of its phases brings into view so many and such various points of speculative interest. Prime in his History of Long Island ³ remarks that "when we consider the retired situation of Long Island, and how little it has excited the notice of travelers, it is not surprising that its geological character as well as other peculiarities should have remained so long unexplored. Until quite recently very few scientific men have even deigned to give it a passing notice, though the assertion may be safely hazarded that scarcely any other tract of land of equal extent on the American Continent furnishes more abundant room for the imagination of geologists to play upon, or that imposes a stronger necessity for conjecturing the operation of some tremendous agency, which in its freaks had invaded the domains of both the land and the ocean, and after completing its sport had silently retired without leaving a track to determine its origin or identify its form."
The geologist of the present day does not seem to regard the field as one calling in the same degree for the exercise of the imagination, though the more definite knowledge acquired and made familiar since the time of the publication just quoted has in one sense vastly extended the opportunity for speculation. Certainly it no longer can be said that scientific men have neglected the investigation of the subject.
From all these considerations, the inference has been regarded as legitimate that Long Island was once through its whole extent attached to the main; and some powerful agency, the form of which is now left entirely to conjecture, forced the separation which is now marked by the intervening Sound. One of the most plausible suppositions is that the separation has been effected by some resistless torrent of water, which, under peculiar circumstances that it is impossible now to determine, has swept out the intervening land, and left its channel to be occupied by the waters of the ocean.
Thus vaguely were the early speculations set forth. With a well developed glacial theory to aid him the modern geologist is able to present a fairly circumstantial picture of probable conditions in the past. We now know with reasonable certainty that Brooklyn rests on soil that is a monument to a vast force quite different from any that were included in the hesitating speculations of the early writers.

Delta tennis wins sectional opener
Delta opened the boys tennis sectional it hosted efficiently on Wednesday. Delta cruised to a 5-0 sweep against Burris, one in which the Eagles conceded a total of one game in a match that lasted approximately 40 minutes.
The victory moves No. 9 Delta to 20-0 on the season and puts the Eagles in Saturday's sectional championship match. Central and Yorktown will meet Thursday for the right to face Delta in the championship match.
"We were happy tonight, we were very sharp in every position," Delta coach Tim Cleland said.
Joe Wegener (No. 1 singles), Alec Robillard (No. 3 singles), Jay Robillard/Nick Wilson (No. 1 doubles) and Matt Hapner/Nick Bantz (No. 2 doubles) each provided 6-0, 6-0 wins for the Eagles. Jason Wegener provided a 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 2 singles.
• Jay County Sectional: Winchester defeated Union City 4-1 to advance to the championship match of the Jay County Sectional. The Golden Falcons picked up all four wins in straight sets. Arick Miller won his No. 3 singles match 6-0, 6-0.
Jay County defeated Randolph Southern in other action Wednesday to earn the right to be Winchester's opponent in Thursday's championship match.
• Bruins fall: Madison-Grant edged Blackford 3-2 at the Marion Sectional. The Bruins' No. 1 doubles team of Blake Thiery and Stephen McGahey won 6-3, 6-4, so those two players remain alive in the individual doubles tournament. No. 2 singles player Scott Thompson won in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 6-3) to provide the Bruins' other victory.

I'm working on putting together a spreadsheet with nation stats, cost-to-stat calculations, and how they stack up compared to other nations. Aside from just being a data junkie, part of my goal with this is to help me choose the nation to unlock next.
I know these boards are kinda dead but thought I'd give it a shot If anyone could help me fill these gaps I'd greatly appreciate it.
I want buy yougoslavia soon, so i will help you!
I have updated the costs and ranks for everything you've provided along with Hungary.
The only things I'm missing now are ships for UK and all units for Yugoslovia.
That's everything! Thanks so much everyone!! I've updated the spreadsheet accordingly and everything looks solid.
I prefer the "All Unit Stats (rnk by %)" sheet over the "All Unit Stats (rnk by #)" one because I feel it's a bit more critical and informative.
You can customize the rank ranges in the "All Unit Stats (rnk by %)" to your liking (see the note on the "Low" column header) (you'll need to copy the spreadsheet to your google drive first).
Post up if there are other pieces of data or calculations you would like to see and, if it's something I can manage, I'll look into getting it added. If it requires another piece of data (ex. upkeep cost (which I would actually like to figure out)), it might not be possible.


Gizm odynamics came about as the result of a short introduction to WordPress at a local community centre. By short I mean about two hours. I was already thinking about setting up a blog but was undecided what technology to use. I had tried several CMSs including WordPress but was still wavering. The course settled it and here I am. During the course I noticed that the Gizmodynamics domain was available, it would be crying shame to waste it. So that's where I am.
The site will carry a random selection of thoughts that wander across what I like to think of as my mind. A while back I wrote a 'science' article for Paul Brazier's magazine Nexus. It was used on the publicity flyer but that's as far as the magazine got. But it was my first professional sale! I had a few more articles in mind and some might appear here. Who knows? There will be blogging.

2009 had a few developments for patent lawyers in the UK. For instance in the case of Kelly v GE Healthcare in the High Court an award of 1 and a half million pounds was made to two former employees of the firm GE Healthcare for whom they had been involved in the patenting of an invention.
The two claimants had been employed as research scientists at Amersham International plc (which then became GE Healthcare).
by reason of those facts, it is just that the employee should be awarded compensation to be paid by the employer.


Heavy rain was the name of the game across Newfoundland on Wednesday Night.
A low pressure system interacted with the remnants of what was Tropical Storm Colin and delivered a drenching to the Island.
There were also strong winds accompanying the system.
Rain will continue throughout today for most areas as well.

We inherit many physical characteristics from our parents and grandparents, such as eye color or height. Some health issues are also inherited, including varicose veins. It's a fact that if one of your parents has varicose veins, you have a 45 to 50 percent risk of developing them too. If both of your parents have varicose veins, you have a greater than 90 percent risk factor of developing varicose veins yourself.
Varicose veins, which usually occur in the legs, are swollen, twisted veins that can protrude from the skin or can be seen just under the skin. They can cause aching pain or heaviness that gets worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Other symptoms of venous disease include swelling, cramps, restless leg syndrome, numbness, and tingling.
Varicose veins are very common and people often think that older, inactive people are the only ones that suffer from varicose veins, but that is not true. For example, Summer Sanders, a former gold-medal Olympic swimmer who is now a sports commentator and TV show host, is a very active mother of two young children. Other famous people such as Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Serena Williams, Krystin Davis, and Emma Thompson reportedly suffer from varicose vein disease. All of these people are active and on their feet a lot. Like many of those with varicose veins or venous disease, noticing that their legs were heavy and achy after a long day brought this disease to their attention.
While heredity is one of the major risk factors for developing varicose veins, it's not the only one. Other risk factors are pregnancies, long periods of standing on your feet at work (hairdressers, teachers, nurses), obesity, and being female. You can't prevent varicose veins from forming, but treatment no longer means a hospital stay followed by a long recovery. Varicose veins can now be treated with the latest laser treatment called EVLA (endovenous laser ablation) which closes the incompetent veins. This is an outpatient procedure that allows most patients return to normal daily activities the same day or the next.
The evaluation and treatment is covered by most insurance companies, including Medicare. Our office will work with your insurance company and Medicare to obtain the appropriate authorizations.

Karosta (von lettisch "kara osta" für Kriegshafen) ist ein Stadtteil im Norden der kurländischen Stadt Liepāja in Lettland. Er umfasst etwa ein Drittel der Stadtfläche und war Kriegshafen des Russischen Reiches sowie der Sowjetunion.

Geschichte

Ursprünglich war Karosta ein Stützpunkt der Russischen Ostseeflotte, der nicht zuletzt aufgrund seiner Nähe zur  deutschen Grenze bei Nimmersatt und seiner ganzjährigen Eisfreiheit gewählt wurde. Er entstand ab 1890 auf Geheiß von Zar Alexander III. und dessen Sohn Nikolai II. Dieser nannte ihn "Hafen Alexanders des III." Der Name Alexander ist in Karosta unter der zu etwa 70 Prozent russischsprachigen Bevölkerung bis heute weit verbreitet.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bildete Kara-Osta einen eigenen russischen Militärstadtteil. Zwischen Karosta und Liepāja gab es lange Zeit keinen Austausch. Eine eigene Post, die größte orthodoxe Kirche in Lettland, eigene Energieversorgung und eine umfassende Infrastruktur veranschaulichen die Sonderrolle Karostas. Beispielsweise kostete eine Postkarte von Kara-Osta nach Liepāja mit drei Kopeken ebenso viel wie nach Wladiwostok kurz vor der koreanischen Grenze. Die Versorgungslage für die Angehörigen der Sowjetischen Streitkräfte war oftmals besser als für die lettische Bevölkerung Liepājas. Aus Gründen der militärischen Sicherheit war Liepāja in sowjetischem Kartenmaterial teilweise nicht verzeichnet.

Durch die Auflösung der Sowjetunion wurden Estland, Lettland und Litauen wieder unabhängig, die Sowjets mussten abziehen. Nach Verlegung der etwa 20.000 bis  26.000 sowjetischen Soldaten aus der ehemaligen Hauptbasis der Russischen Ostseeflotte mit ihren etwa 30 Atom-U-Booten und 140 Kriegsschiffe wurde Karosta ein verwahrloster und nur zu etwa einem Drittel bewohnter Stadtteil Liepājas. Chemische Kampfmittel und radioaktiver Abfall der Marinebasis sollen vor dem sowjetischen Abzug zwischen 1989 und 1992 noch in der Ostsee vor Gotland versenkt worden sein.

Forts und Kara-Osta-Kanal

Die von 1893 bis 1906 errichteten Forts (im Norden) wurden 1914 aufgegeben und werden seitdem von den Wellen abgetragen. Diese Forts und der Kanal waren die ersten Bauten Karostas. Ähnliche Forts entstanden im gesamten Russischem Reich, auch in Port Arthur (heute ein Ortsteil von Dalian und Chinas zweitgrößter Hafen).

Kara-Osta Kanal und die "drehbare Eisenbrücke"

Ein Seitenarm des Kanals ist für Schiffe und U-Boote vorgesehen. Daneben existieren Docks und Werften. Die 1906 erbaute Kalpaka-Brücke ist die einzige Drehbrücke in Lettland und mit kurzen Unterbrechungen noch immer in Betrieb. Nach einer Schiffskollision Mitte 2006 war sie vorübergehend nicht nutzbar und wurde 2009 erneuert.

Nord-Pier

Das Nord-Pier entstand mit dem Kanal und ist etwa zwei Kilometer lang. Etwa zwei Jahre wurde daran gebaut. Von dort hat man einen guten Ausblick auf den Hafen. Der Ort ist bei den Einwohnern und Gästen Liepājas beliebt.

Dom St. Nikolaus

Der orthodoxe Dom St. Nikolaus ist eines der Wahrzeichen von Karosta. Architekten waren Sergei Gelensowski und Wassili Kossjakow aus Petersburg.

Gefängnis
Das Gefängnis von Karosta in der Invalīdu Straße 4 wurde Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts errichtet. Anfangs war es als Kriegsspital geplant, wurde jedoch nie derart verwendet. Schon 1905 saßen im Gefängnis die Seeleute der Garnison, die an den revolutionären Ereignissen teilgenommen hatten. Später diente der Bau als Gefängnis der Hauptwache sowohl für die Sowjetarmee als auch für Marinetruppen der lettischen Armee. Die von Sträflingen hinterlassenen letzten Spuren an den Zellenwänden stammen noch von 1997. Heute lässt sich gegen eine geringe Gebühr die Hauptwache besichtigen und es werden Aufführungen "Hinter Gittern" angeboten. Für Besucher besteht die Möglichkeit, in einer Zelle zu übernachten und in einer Kantine sowjetischer Art zu speisen.

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers"-Anne Shirley
I recently posted my "fall moodboard" which focused on three movies released between 1965-1970. But I realized that that really only applies to September. Returning to school. Air changing. The Breaking Out of the Trench Coat.
October is a different story. Culturally, the beginning changes have already happened (I say culturally because in Georgia is was both 75 and 55 last week). October is aware of its identity as a fall month, while September sometimes attempts to hold on to the last grasps of summer.
In October, my inspiration is Wes Anderson. I am convinced that the man lives in a perpetual October. I actually think there are more yellow/orange skies in Anderson films than blue ones.
I told my brother today that I love the "underrated overrated folks." My favorite baseball player is Ryan Howard of the Phillies, whose payroll is too high, admittedly, and he strikes out a lot. So people call him overrated, but I think he is wonderful and that calling him overrated looks at only one aspect of his baseball playing skills. He's also a team leader and a great first baseman.
Another example is John Singer Sargent, my favorite painter. I love the idea that he was marginalized by his peers because he wasn't on the surface an avant-garde painter. He appeared to be a traditional commissioned portraitist, but later examining of his art, outside the context of the Gilded Age, Sargent reveals a keen knowledge of art history and sardonic awareness of the constructs of high society life.
I feel like Wes Anderson is my "underrated overrated" director. His films are just so quirky that they seem to either be immediately beloved or immediately hated for being so beloved without any qualifications. But I honestly love him, without an ulterior motive to align myself with either the quirky hipster set, or the erudite anti-hipster set, or any set annoyed by any other set. Somehow Rushmore, The Royal Tenebaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited and The Fantastic Mr. Fox are all October for me. So sure of their identities and having an awareness of their place in the world.
One thing about Wes Anderson's characters that work so well for inspiration is that they all have uniforms. Just in the case of The Royal Tenebaums, Margo has her kohl lined eyes, fur coat, barrettes, and polo dresses, Richie, his tennis sweat bands and suits, and Chaz and his sons have their matching sweat suits.
october: margo tenenbaum by misswoodhouse
Anderson movies sort of uniforms too. Distant wives/sisters/mothers, over bearing father figures, misunderstood youths. all centering around the family. Anderson prioritizes the family and somehow contradicts the first lines of Madame Bovary by making all of his families unhappy in the same way, where they are disconnected from each other, yet don't have identities that are not Tenenbaum, Zissou, Whitman or Fox. Maybe I love him because I feel like my largest identity marker is that of my family. A friend in high school once said "Kearneys travel in packs." And it is so true. My family is very close and very disconnected as the same time. No member of my immediate family is just their familial role to me, there are other layers of that relationship. Though I imagine that it is true is all families. But, like Anderson's families, we are aware of it.

Fantastic Mr. Anderson
My love affair with Mr. Wes Anderson began when, in a fit of insomnia that plagued my early high school, I watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. As far as I can see, Anderson is best watched in a dream-like state because if you aren't there already, he will slowly nudge you until his oddly juxtaposed orchestration of a sixties pop song and denouement in the film finally lulls you completely in the fantasy worlds that he creates.
And creates he does in his new film Fantastic Mr. Fox. This movie is basically Life Aquatic, Tenenbaums, Ocean's 11 and Old Mother West Wind stories put together.
Once again Anderson focuses on what he does best and doesn't stray too much. At the center, a dysfunctional, albeit loving, family with a disillusioned patriarch who has seen better days. But in animation maybe Anderson had found the entry point to the mainstream that big name stars haven't been to give him.
In Fox, Anderson still has the wit and subversiveness that 20-somethings and up love, but the story of a child being misunderstood by his father would resonate with anyone one 12 and under.
Still even the patriarch is slightly more lovable than the abusive Royal Tenenbaum or distant Steve Zissou. That may be, of course, because Mr. Fox, is a fox. And fact: furry animals are just more lovable.
So the acid tongued wife and sassy adolescent get away with unlikeable nature that would be off putting in a children's movie, but perfect in an Anderson movie, simply because their red fur and awkwardly gangly legs that remind the viewer of Anderson's skinny chicken legs, are so darn cute.
With everyone Anderson archetype filled by his regulars of over-the-top actors, Fantastic Mr. Fox may be his first non live-action film, but I believe Mr. Anderson could find a long career in children's movies. For the past decade he's been making movies for adults for the neglected child within. I wish he would continue to work with Roald Dahl books because this is by far the best adaptation I've seen.

from Falling Out of Love/Empty House by Aloud
Limited Edition 7" Vinyl
Limited edition 7-inch vinyl of double A-side single "Empty House" and "Falling Out of Love". Sleeves were designed and individually screened by Efflux Creations, and each record has been hand-pressed by Musicol Recording.
Includes unlimited streaming of Falling Out of Love/Empty House via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Aloud's Henry Beguiristain and co-writer Jen de la Osa wrote "Empty House" after absorbing the celebrated documentary A Band Called Death. Beguiristain and de la Osa found the Hackney brothers' ability to remain warm and compassionate with each other inspirational, even after decades of hardship. "My own family's going through an incredibly petty, malicious squabble," Beguiristain, the song's vocalist, explains. "So these two sort of antipodal reactions to strains in a family were very much on our minds."
The song pulls no punches, serving as both an admonition ("The passage of time ain't forgiveness") and an olive branch ("I'm throwing you a line/hoping it'll reach you in time").
"Ultimately, 'Empty House' is a song about empathy. It's about keeping your soul from becoming hard."
Living forever is easy
It just takes a clever mind
sticking to all your convictions
while keeping your own heart kind
But when it comes to perspective,
no one is truly exempt
The passage of time ain't forgiveness.
The status quo ain't contentment
I'm throwing you a line, hoping it'll reach you in time
Don't let our home become another empty house
Is this how it happens?
Feelings put into sharp relief
Nature becomes a fantasy
Opinion becomes belief

Every first time home buyer has a lot to learn. If you're a millennial, there may not be anyone who has given you pointers about obtaining your first mortgage or other tips that could be handy when it is your first time buying a home. There are some practical things you should know before you start house hunting.
While it is easy to think about that if you are already paying rent you can make a mortgage payment, there are other things you must consider if this is your first time buying a home. Some of these include homeowner's insurance and property taxes which may be added onto the costs of your loan. Most lenders will ask for escrow of taxes and insurance to minimize risk of default. New homeowners will also have to think about maintenance costs and costs of any utilities they are not currently paying as part of their rent.
Credit scores impact rates — your credit score will have an impact on the interest rate you will be charged. Typically, if you manage your credit well, pay your bills on time and do not have significant outstanding debt, your credit should be fine. Discuss credit issues with your loan officer.
Understand down payment requirements — every first time home buyer should be ready to make a down payment on their home. In addition, you should be prepared to pay certain closing costs.
Your debt may impact your mortgage — lenders are typically looking for a specific debt to income ratio. This means one factor will be the amount of money you will be paying for all debt, including your mortgage as a ratio to your income.
Another option you may have is if you are interested in buying your first home is to speak with your mortgage lender about getting pre-approved. The pre-approval process can give you negotiating power with potential sellers. This process is similar to going through the entire loan process; you will know exactly how much money you can borrow. Do not confuse this with a pre-qualification which is merely an estimate of what you can borrow without any time of commitment from the lender.
Remember, when you are purchasing your first home, search for a home with an eye to the future. You want to find a home that is the right size based on your lifestyle today, but keeping in mind, you may decide to get married and have children. You should also pay attention to the neighborhood so you will be living in a home that meets both your immediate and long-term needs.
Being a first time home buyer is exciting and can be stressful as well. If you are considering purchasing your first home in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, contact Federated Lending and talk to one of our loan officers about your first mortgage.

The proposed Metro UGB expansion into South Cooper Mountain
By EngineerScotty on October 20, 2011 in Southwest Corridor, Transportation Planning
In this month's open thread, it was noted that Metro was considering an expansion of the urban growth boundary, which will be voted on at Thursday's council meeting. Metro staff proposed a recommendation containing a list of ten sites (three industrial, and seven residential/commercial); of these ten, three were initially endorsed by the acting Chief Operating Officer: An industrial parcel in North Hillsboro, and residential parcels in South Hillsboro (or if you prefer, West Aloha) and South Cooper Mountain. Since the Open Thread was posted, Metro has also published a FAQ on the process.
(In late-breaking news, a 49-acre parcel west of Bull Mountain, along Roy Rogers Road, has been added to the proposal to be voted on tomorrow; and the cities of Cornelius, Wilsonville, and Forest Grove are voicing displeasure about parcels adjacent to them not being included.)
Many commenters in the open thread were troubled by the proposal for one of two reasons: 1) Some though that expansion of the UGB, particularly for residential uses, was not necessary at this time, given the current state of the housing market, and the ability of the region to add density within the UGB. 2) Others questioned the wisdom of putting higher-density development out on the urban fringe.
We may consider the issue of industrial expansion at another time; and Portland Transport looked at the South Hillsboro site last year. Today, we consider the South Cooper Mountain site (and to a lesser extent the Roy Rogers site, which is located nearby), and ponder the issues involved in the second question. I don't intend to ignore the first question–it's an important one, and there is plenty of infill development going on as we speak; but the readily observed phenomenon of "high-density suburbia", with urban levels of density but a lacking of urban amenities, is a problem which needs to be addressed.
South Cooper Mountain: Where is it?
The South Cooper Mountain parcel is located on the southern flanks of Cooper Mountain (and the eastern flanks of the Progress Ridge, another landform in South Beaverton), pretty much to the south of Aloha, to the west of Murrayhill and the Progress Ridge development, and to the northwest of Bull Mountain. It is bounded on the south by OR210 (Scholls Ferry Road), on the west by Tile Flat Road, and on the north and east by the aformentioned hills. This map shows in detail where it is:
View Beaverton UGB study area in a larger map
Metro has published a more detailed report on the parcel, which would be annexed into the city of Beaverton as it urbanizes. In addition, a Metro staff report provides additional information. Likewise, the Roy Rogers West parcel is described in further detail here (the report describes a larger parcel of which the 49 acres are a subset).
The South Cooper Mountain parcel consists of 543 acres, of which 361 are deemed buildable; Metro foresees construction of ~4350 dwelling units in South Cooper Mountain, along with various commercial properties. In addition, the parcel is being eyed by the Beaverton School District for the future construction of an additional high school. Currently, the parcel contains some agricultural uses, though is located on a slope, and is in close proximity to existing development, in particular Progress Ridge.
Transportation in the area is likely to be problematic with existing services and infrastructure. The main thoroughfares which serve the South Cooper Mountain area are Scholls Ferry Road, running east to Washington Square and the bulk of the metro area; and running west to rural Washington County (and to Hillsboro via River Road); Roy Rogers road, running south to Sherwood, with connections to Bull Mountain and King City via Bull Mountain and Beef Bend roads, and SW 175th, which connects to west Beaverton and Aloha. Other important thoroughfares in the area include SW Murray Road, which provides access to the remainder of Beaverton, and SW Walnut, which provides access to Tigard. The Roy Rogers Road parcel is flanked on the west by Roy Rogers Road; nearby east-west streets are Bull Mountain and Beef Bend roads.
Scholls Ferry Road is a 5-lane facility between the intersection with Roy Rogers and the Progress/Washington Square area, except for a short stretch west of Murrayhill which is presently three lanes (though a widening of this stretch to five lanes is planned in 2013). It currently is at or near capacity during rush hour, with backups frequent; in addition to local traffic, it serves significant amounts of regional traffic (being a state highway). Roy Rogers Road is a high-speed, two-lane rural highway for most of its length, including where it abuts the parcel named after it.
Murray has more tolerable traffic in the immediate area, though is frequently a parking lot further north, in the stretch between Farmington (OR10) and TV Highway (OR8). 175th over Cooper Mountain has numerous sharp curves and steep grades, and is unsuitable for high traffic volumes (and would likely be an undesirable route for bus traffic).
TOD without transit?
Even without the addition of high-density development in South Cooper Mountain, the area already has a fair bit of higher-density housing. The Progress Ridge neighborhood, sandwiched between Scholls Ferry and SW Barrows, has numerous townhouses and apartment buildings, along with the Progress Ridge shopping center. This shopping center is unusual in that despite having several destination tenants (including an upscale movie theater and a New Seasons market, along with a Big Al's across the street), it isn't located on a major thoroughfare–Barrows Road functions as a two-lane collector. Bike access is rather good, though some of the steep slopes may be an impediment to bicycle use–the Powerline Trail runs nearby, and the city of Beaverton does take bicycle infrastructure seriously.
But despite all of this, transit use (and service) is limited. No transit serves the South Cooper Mountain parcels directly, and no fixed-route transit is in the area. The only seven-day bus service is the half-hourly 62, which starts at Washington Square, proceeds down Scholls Ferry to Murrayhill, than heads north to the Millikan Way MAX station and the Cedar Mill neighborhood before heading back east, ending at Sunset TC. The South Beaverton Express (92) also provides service to the area (and the South Beaverton and Greenway neighborhoods), connecting to downtown, and reaches as far west as SW Teal. As a peak-hour express service, however,, it only provides inbound service during the AM commute and outbound service in the afternoon and evening. The 45 also ventures near the area, coming as far west as SW 121st before heading south to Tigard TC.
None of these services is of sufficiently high quality to attract many choice riders; and the real estate in the area is too expensive for the poor to afford.
Similar criticisms have been made about other TOD/high density projects in Washington County, such as Orenco Station–which has disappointing transit share, despite being located close to MAX. However, other than the MAX line, Orenco has poor transit connections, and many of the Washington County employment parks where Orenco residents work, likewise are not easily reachable other than by automobile or bike. As South Cooper Mountain presently has worse transit service than Orenco, it would be folly to expect better outcomes without a focus on better service. Of course, the development plan for SCM has not been realized, and nobody has claimed that it will be TOD of any sort–but higher-density housing generally is improved by good transit service, and currently the level of service is not great. (It's better than other parts of Washington County, but that isn't saying much).
The Roy Rogers Road parcel presently is rural in nature, and has no transit service.
What could be done?
At the present time, there doesn't seem to be plans in the works to improve the quality of transit in the area. The Washington County Transportation Plan does not include any new transit lines in the area. (The City of Beaverton would like to widen Scholls Ferry to seven lanes, however; a notion which is seconded in the RTP).
Given the demographics of the area, it might be tempting to suggest playing the streetcar card–there are probably a lot of residents in the South Beaverton area who will board a streetcar, but would rather ride in the back of a hearse than in the back of a bus. Both the Murray and Scholls Ferry corridors have major anchors such a line could connect to, and lots of useful destinations along the way. That said, it's hard to justify such a project in a corridor which currently does not merit frequent bus service.
However, development of South Cooper Mountain (and possibly of the Roy Rogers parcel, though it appears to be of lesser import) may provide an opportunity to improve and/or reconfigure bus service in the area. The current shape of the 62 limits connectivity between Beaverton and the southern parts of Washington County–it heads south down Murray, takes a hard left at Murrayhill, and then heads northeast to Washington Square where it ends. Having the 62 instead serve Walnut and/or Gaarde streets and connecting to Tigard TC (and extending the 56, 45, or 43 out to Murrayhill and the SCM parcel) would greatly improve connections between Beaverton and Tigard.
Having a transit "anchor" south of Cooper Mountain might encourage other regional routes as well–such as a route between Sherwood and Beaverton along Roy Rogers road (which would connect the two parcels under discussion), or possibly even a route to Hillsboro along Scholls Ferry and River roads (these routes are popular shortcuts among knowledgeable Washington County commuters seeking to avoid traffic on the area freeways).
It also should be noted that part of the SCM parcel lies outside of the TriMet service district. (All of the Roy Rogers parcel lies within; Roy Rogers Road is the service boundary in the area).
One other factor to consider: Both parcels are "on the edge" of the Southwest Corridor plan map–while they aren't likely to receive any sort of high-capacity transit as part of the corridor (or otherwise), development of a high-capacity transit line in the 99W corridor would make good transit connections for these to-be-developed areas more important.


Whether intentional or accidental, display your authority by being late to every appointment.
My time is incredibly valuable to me, and especially to everyone else. When I show up late to a meeting, I allow it to get underway without me, building up momentum so I can walk in when it's already going full bore. This allows me to avoid all of the greetings and conversation that bonds people together and thoroughly wastes time. That, and the meeting still has to end at a certain time, so really I'm compressing our productivity and better spending the time of my employees.
Thus, be 8-10 minutes late to every meeting, every time. It's a matter of efficiency, really.
Arriving late establishes my superiority.
It exhibits my authority, and reminds people who runs the show. Fashionably late? Let's go ahead and rewrite that as Authoritatively Late. (Please use it, but you must give me credit for that phrase!) If I am the first person on a conference call, I will have to wait minutes for others to join, wasting my time and the company's money by paying my salary to listen to hold music! This is obviously outright unacceptable. Hopefully the dozen employees I keep waiting until 8 minutes into the call have realized this by now.
When I'm late, my employees bond in the tension.
They begin to wonder if the meeting has been cancelled. They stare at their watch, look at each other, and shrug their shoulders. They will begin to analyze what bits and pieces of conversation they have collectively heard in the hallways. Remember that this enhanced communication only happens when I'm not there. This is yet another way I teach my employees that they must be alert and sharp, constantly aware of what is going on around them. If I just spell out everything to them in person, how does that help them? This act of arriving late makes it even more necessary for employees to keep sharp, for fear of being left out of the communication loop.
Arriving late is sometimes intentional and sometimes accidental, but it is always authoritative.
Show respect for other peoples' time by arriving a few minutes early to appointments and consistently end on time. Otherwise, you demean and devalue your team, which poisons your authority.

Q: ¿Cómo dar formato a la fecha de los mensajes del log? Tengo un programa hecho en Kotlin que usa LoggerFactory de la api slf4j para guardar registro de la actividad en la salida estándar. El código se ve algo como esto (simplificado para quedarme sólo con lo básico):
package miPackage

import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory

class TestLog {
  companion object {
    @JvmStatic
    fun main(args: Array<String>) {
      val log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestLog::class.java)
      log.info("Arrancando app...")
    }
  }
}

Cuando lo ejecuto obtengo lo siguiente en la salida estándar:

2018-02-05 11:08:37.516 [main] INFO miPackage.TestLog - Arrancando app...

Lo cual es correcto, pero me gustaría saber si es posible darle formato a esa salida del log. En particular a la fecha, a la que me gustaría añadir la zona horaria. Es decir, en lugar de obtener 2018-02-05 11:08:37.516 me gustaría que fuera algo como 2018-02-05 11:08:37 -0500 (los milisegundos pueden o no estar presentes).
¿Es eso posible? ¿Cómo se haría?

A: Crea un fichero logback.xml, en src/main/resources si usas maven, y configura ahí la salida del log. Por ejemplo:
<configuration>
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <Pattern>%d{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss -SSS} %-5level %logger.%method:%line - %msg%n</Pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    <root level="DEBUG">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
    </root>
</configuration>
