LANSDOWNE, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama is telling House Democrats that one fundamental question will guide the policies he seeks to put in place during his second term.
He says that question is: Does the policy give everyone a fair shot and is everyone doing their fair share and playing by the same rules?
Obama said the economy grows fastest when there is a level playing field.
In remarks Thursday to House members from his own party during their retreat in northern Virginia, Obama also provided some insight into the State of the Union address he will deliver Tuesday night.
Obama said he will talk in the speech about job creation, education, clean energy and taxes and spending among other issues.

Why code red sails aren't balanced simetrically?
Hi, I'm currently using a Severne Code Red 11,0 and I can't understand why I cannot balance simetrically both sides of the sail. Actually, when I sail ''looking'' to my right hand, the harness line on this side is 5cm back comparing to the other side. I talked to other people and they told it also hapens wirh the SSR. Why it hapens with those sails??? Thanks for your attention, Danilo.

RE: Why code red sails aren't balanced simetrically?
This usually is because your body is not simetrical, and you don't have the same position in both sides.
I have the same problem during years.

RE: Why code red sails aren't balanced simetrically?
Yeah, it is really commom to sail in different positions in both sides. But it was the first time that I sailed with this large difference -> 5 cm!!! It's too much!! I've sailed with many maks of sails and it was the first time it happens to me...
The strange thing is that in code red 12 the difference between the sides is minor than in the code red 11...
I'm not satisfied cause it's causing loss of income to me. I believe that this difference is caused by some error of structure of the sail, that already comes from 2005 (SSR). It seens to happens only on formula sails.

RE: Why code red sails aren't balanced simetrically?
Hi Danilo,
You might want to closely inspect the sails, particularly with regard to the batten pockets. If the construction (fabric plys, stitching, gluing, etc.) of the sail on both sides is not symmetrical, it can favor one side over the other. I don't know if this is the case with your SSRs, but some sails out there incorporate less expensive construction techniques to save cost or weight. It is my thought that price point recreational sails are the most likely candidates for this type of simplified construction approach.

RE: Why code red sails aren't balanced simetrically?
I'm just guessing here, but apart from sailig style on each tack I can see a couple of other reasons why this may be the case. The first reason I have seen this on large sails it a slightly out of shape boom but this is probably only going to be an issue on ally booms.
The second, and more just guesswork one, is that all the battens are stitched to one side of the sail and this must make some slight difference to the way it performs on each tack and this may get more prononced the bigger the sail gets.

Before anyone starts a rant, I want to point out that I'm in the middle of my 2nd Dark Age. It is GOOD that I even was able to find time to put together this. I am not a builder but tried to build a bit too show off my Northern Army.
So please if you are looking for latest fad of SNOT or building techniques you probably want to hit the back button now. If you are a fan of minifigs in a basic Moc setting and interested in seeing my Northern Horde on the warpath then by all means keep reading.
This is by far my favorite faction and our very own Bronx sent Ravens to me and asked me to join his Dragon Faction.... Although my Horde does not have the numbers as other armies here on CC, they are all mounted on horseback. They can out run Knights and heavy Cavalry and run down infantry and Archers. They strike cities and villages fast, pillage and raid, and then vanish into the fog before the nobles can rally their troops to counter.
The numbers: 155 Light Calvary- Shields, Long and short swords, spears and battle axes, minimal Armor, 20 mounted Archers
The Horde has probably peaked.... kind of would like to get the archers up to 50 and then have 200 max soldiers. A few more raids and there should be no one riding bareback or shieldless. Will likely change out some items as I like to have a mix match look..Hobbit beards on their way. Comments are appreciated and I can answer any questions. Again, I'm not a builder, but spent 3 hours trying to create an environment....this summer when the Legos come out again I'll try to do a Building Moc and then show only a portion as it's hard to try to display all of the Bad *** dudes.
Bran leading the Charge
Having trouble resizing photos and with photobucket, so if here is the link to my flicker account with more pics....

California's topsy-turvy election system has mashed up with Capitol Hill politics to create this unique phenomenon: On Monday, two out-of-state Republican Senators endorsed a House Democrat running in a new district.
The Senators, John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, were joined by Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut in throwing their support behind Rep. Howard Berman in his general election race with fellow Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman.
How did this happen?
To start, California's newly installed independent redistricting commission created a single district in the San Fernando Valley where two seats had existed, pitting Berman and Sherman against one another.
Then, the state's jungle primary system, which puts the two top vote-getters against one another in the general election, saw the two Democrats advance to compete in November.
"It's definitely unusual to have Republican Senators endorsing Democratic Members of the House," veteran California consultant Rose Kapolczynski said. "On the other hand, our new system means in many races there is no Republican running."
Eight out of the state's 53 districts feature intraparty races, including the 30th district, where Berman and Sherman were drawn together.
While it was California's new environment that offered the endorsement opportunity, the decision to do so was born of dynamics on Capitol Hill. The three Senators, who have embraced the nickname "the three amigos," have long been known for hawkish national security positions, including fervent support of U.S. intervention in Iraq.
Sherman has criticized Berman for his support of military action in Iraq in direct mail, tying Berman to President George W. Bush and saying he "stuck with Bush on the War till the bitter end." The backing of McCain, Graham and Lieberman is likely because of that policy position, as well as a reward for a Democrat who is willing to work across the aisle on foreign policy.
McCain and Graham have been touring the country to express opposition to upcoming defense budget cutbacks required by the sequestration that takes effect at year's end.
As for Lieberman, his hawkishness has left him at odds with many Democrats on foreign policy issues, and he no doubt views Berman as one of a dying breed in the party.
"Ideologically, just in pure political science terms, Howard and Brad aren't really far apart," Democratic consultant Bill Carrick said. "Where they are different, obviously, is more in terms of their leadership skills and how they function and operate as Members of Congress."
Berman, the favorite among the California delegation, is at a severe geographic disadvantage against Sherman, who currently represents a little more than half of the electorate expected to vote in November. Berman represents about a quarter, meaning he needs to win over a significant share of voters who have been electing Sherman every two years for more than a decade.
"It is an incredibly complicated political equation," Carrick said.
The Senators' endorsements got big play in the district, landing above the fold on the front page of the second section of the Los Angeles Times. It was expected to echo on radio and television throughout the day.
"The question is will Sherman now use this as a new line of attack, somehow undercutting Berman's progressive credentials?" Democratic consultant Roy Behr asked.
Sherman consultant Parke Skelton was on the phone with Roll Call when he opened up his copy of the Times on Monday morning. "This is going into a mailing. Nice headline," Skelton said between laughter. "'Berman to Gain GOP Backing' - I love it."
Sherman finished 10 points ahead of Berman in the June primary.
"If you look at the primary results - and I'm sure their polling reflects this - if Howard is going to win and close that gap he has with Brad, he's going to have to have a pretty good shot in the arm with both Republican voters and also decline-to-state voters," Carrick said.
Republicans are expected to make up close to a quarter of the vote in November. GOP voters will find two candidates from the other party on the ballot when they enter the polls on Nov. 6, so it's impossible to tell who they will vote for or whether they will vote at all in that race. Democrats will make up about half of the vote, and independents and decline-to-state voters another quarter.
"This is a brand new system in California," Kapolczynski said, "and every competitive campaign is trying to figure out how to work within this new framework."

One of the major objectives of the Infrastructure and Institutions for Market Development program is to study market dynamics in the presence of asymmetric information, heterogeneity of small holders, and inadequate provision of institutions and infrastructure. Within this context, the program seeks to answer the following questions: How markets function? What roles different institutions play in supporting market exchange and how to design, transfer, and maintain these institutions and access to infrastructure. In addition, the research program aims to identify the bottlenecks (physical or institutional) impede investments in rural infrastructure services. It helps design strategies for institutional arrangements that help override such bottlenecks through adequate access to public infrastructure needed to enhance the environment in which private sector activities take place. The program specifically emphasizes the need to foster institutional innovations to enhance infrastructure investments.
In addition to carrying out its own research, the program aims at strengthening capacity of policy makers and researchers in targeted countries to undertake policy research concerning the role of institutions and infrastructure.
The specific program objectives regarding infrastructure are the following:
- Estimate the existing complementarities between the different types of public infrastructure and the endowments of private assets (human capital, financial-physical capital or social capital), which are already possessed by rural populations, in order to maximize the impact of public infrastructure investment.
- Identify investment opportunities that generate the largest multiplier effects and that enhance the attraction of public and private investments for the rural sector.
- To increase the private and social profitability of the executed investments by identifying the critical mass required and the appropriate mix of infrastructure and institutions.
The specific program objectives regarding institutions are the following:
- To conduct empirically sound research on why and how institutions matter and how these institutions emerge and evolve over time and their linkages with access to infrastructure and market development.
- To understand the underlying market institutions—such as contract farming, vertically integrated schemes, market information systems, commercial rules and laws, commodity exchanges, and producer and trader associations—needed to enhance the environment in which private sector activities take place.
- To understand the complexity and diversity of institutional arrangements for facilitating market exchange, in particular the critical enforcement of property rights and economic coordination of exchange.

Longtime heavy smokers should be offered annual lung cancer screening using low-dose CT scans instead of chest X-rays, a group of prevention experts recommended on Monday.
A CT scan is better at finding tumors early, when they are most treatable, and the benefits outweigh the risks for people ages 55 to 79 who smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 30 years and continue to smoke or quit fewer than 15 years ago, according to the US Preventive Services Task Force. The group is an independent panel of primary care experts created by Congress.
Using CT scans trumped chest X-rays, which are currently recommended for screening this group of 7 million Americans, in reducing lung cancer deaths, the panel said.
The new recommendation could prevent some of the 160,000 lung cancer deaths that occur in the United States every year because 85 percent of these deaths occur in those with a strong smoking history. It also means that insurance companies will be required to cover the $300 to $400 screening, under a mandate in the federal health law.
"It's a fantastic move," said Dr. Christopher Lathan, an oncologist who treats lung cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer; but there hasn't been a reliable, safe way to screen high-risk people until now."
But some preventive health experts argued that patients also need to be informed of the potential harms of screening, including overdiagnosis, excess radiation exposure, and lung biopsies for growths that turn out not to be cancer.
While the American Cancer Society adopted very similar recommendations in January, the organization put a "high emphasis ... on informed decision making about the benefits and harms associated with screening for lung cancer," Dr. Otis W. Brawley, the society's chief medical officer, said in a statement responding to the Task Force guidelines.
In particular, he added, those at increased lung cancer risk should be told by their doctors about the high rate of false findings on the ultra-sensitive screening test. Such findings usually result in a full-dose followup CT scan, which delivers 10 times more radiation than a low-dose screening scan.
The Task Force calculated that screening 287,000 high-risk individuals would prevent 521 lung cancer deaths but cause an additional 24 cancer deaths from excess radiation exposure.
"I think the group that they're recommending to be screened is too broad," said Dr. Kenny Lin, a primary care physician at Georgetown University Medical Center who used to evaluate screening research to provide to the Task Force.
Some patient advocacy groups, on the other hand, say the recommendations should be broader, applying to those who smoke less but have other risk factors such as a family history of lung cancer or exposure to a lung carcinogen such as asbestos, expanded criteria that one cancer research organization recommends.
The task force based its draft recommendation, which will be finalized later this year after a public comment period, on a clinical trial of 50,000 current and former smokers with a history of smoking a pack a day for decades. That trial showed a reduction in lung cancer deaths of 16 percent compared with an annual chest X-ray after nearly seven years of followup.
"It's hard to find the sweet spot, but we think the population we proposed has a pretty good balance," said Dr. Michael LeFevre, co-vice chair of the task force. He said the group considered the issue of CT scans detecting and leading to treatment of very-early-stage lung cancers that would never have become life threatening. Researchers have raised similar concerns for breast and prostate cancer screening tests.
"We calculated this occurs in about 3 to 4 percent of lung cancers diagnosed through screening, which is a pretty low rate as far as cancers go," LeFevre said. At least 10 percent of breast cancers detected via mammograms are considered to be non-threatening cancers, and the percentage is even greater for prostate cancer screening.
With a current lack of insurance coverage, low-dose CT screening is offered only in a handful of hospitals in the Boston area. Brigham and Women's Hospital offers it to those willing to pay $350 a scan. Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington began offering free screenings in January 2012, with the hospital picking up the tab.
"We've screened over 1,300 patients and we've gone from diagnosing 70 percent of lung cancers in an advanced stage to finding 70 percent in the early stage when they're most likely to be cured," said Dr. Andrea McKee, chair of radiation oncology at Lahey. Screening patients before and after regular business hours has helped defray some of the costs, McKee said, and so has the revenue generated by an increase in patients being treated for lung cancer found by the scans.Deborah Kotz can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

An 18-year veteran of the state police was arrested after he allegedly failed to log evidence from a fatal crash in Fairfield in September.
John A Scalesse, 49, of Orange, died when his motorcycle slammed into the rear end of another vehicle on Route 15 on Sept. 22. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Following the fatal crash, family members determined that several items belonging to their loved one were missing, including jewelry, clothing and money.
State police conducted a lengthy investigation into the incident and found that the jewelry had never been logged by the trooper investigating the case, which was Aaron Huntsman, 43.
The investigation also unveiled large amounts of money in Huntsman's cruiser.
Huntsman turned himself into state police barracks in Bethany Thursday morning and was released on a $5,000 bond.
He was charged with two counts of third-degree larceny as well as interfering with police and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. Huntsman is expected to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on Dec. 10.
According to state police, Huntsman, who worked mostly in the Bridgeport area, is the subject of an internal affairs investigation.
"His police powers were suspended upon initiation of this investigation," state police said in a statement Thursday.
State Police Union Vice President Sgt. Andy Williams said in the statement that they are "asking the public to reserve judgement until all the facts are known."
"He recently resigned his office of union leadership to concentrate of defending his reputation," the statement on Thursday said.
Huntsman's attorney told Eyewitness News that his client had no comment on the matter.
According to his obituary, Scalesse is survived by his parents and siblings. He was also an executive of his own masonry company after working for another construction firm for decades.

OK, we are wrapping up helicopter week today with this picture of a man in an airplane. See, towards the middle of the week, I started running out of good pictures of helicopters, and interest from visitors was waning, so I switched to planes with pilots. I feel the topic this week was somewhat of a bust. I need good ideas for a theme for next week. Ideas?
Each day we bring you one stunning little glimpse of history in the form of a historical photograph. Enjoy!

Gyro Style Plane
OK, we learned yesterday that some segment of our viewership was more interested in pilots than aircraft. The request was made to see planes with pilots. So here you go, right from 1911.

Berliner Helicopter
PICTURE EMBARGO THREAT LEVEL - Elevated to High
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Today's picture was taken in 1938, and it shows an auto gyro landing at the US Capitol. The auto gyro is powered by a frontward pointing traditional propeller. The upper propeller serves as the wing of the craft. The aircraft was capable of fairly short takeoffs and landings. In this picture, the auto gyro was being evaluated for use as a carrier of airmail.

Early Helicopter
Today's picture is from 1923, and it shows an early attempt at a helicopter. It looks like it has 4 fan like propellers pointed upward. I am not sure how successful it was, but it does look like like it is a foot or so off the ground in the picture.

Berliner Helicopter
This is a picture of an early attempt at a helicopter. It was called the Berliner Helicopter. I am not sure exactly how this works. It appears to no be a gyro-copter, as I can not see any forward or rearward pointing propellers. The propellers are mounted on beams coming out of the plane, and I see little to no front wing. It appears that the vertical propellers are powered. It does not look like they can change position. So, an interesting aircraft, and I ma not sure exactly how it flies.
Domestic Update:
Things continue to be interesting out in Chickie Town. The chickies are doing fine, and are producing 9-10 eggs a day. I have had a little bit of an issue that a few of the eggs have had thin shells. This is from a calcium deficiency. I put out crushed oyster shells for them, but maybe they are not eating enough of them. So, I continue to monitor the situation, but am not sure what is going on.
The peacocks have been acting peculiar lately. Handsome spends about 10 hours a day with his feathers fanned out, dancing around. So far, Lovie appears to show no interest in him. If she is around, and he starts that, she walks over and gives him a great big peck. Also, the peacocks are running around in circles real fast, sometimes running into things. Also, Handsome has started making all these elaborate noises. They are real loud and hard to describe. It sort of sounds like a cat meow, but only over a bull horn. He does this all day long, and at night at least once every fifteen minutes like clockwork. His tail-feathers are not that impressive yet, and I think they are not enough to get Lovie's attention.
Now, I went out to gather eggs this morning, and found a HUGE egg in the chickie coop. At first I thought that a chickie had laid a huge egg, but upon inspection by Mrs. PJM, she said there was no way that one of those little chickies had laid the egg. The obvious conclusion is that Lovie went into the chickie coop and laid the egg. Now, I am not sure what to do with it. I have seen no indications that would make me think that the egg would have any chance of making a baby peacock . . . however, on the off chance that I missed something, I have decided to perhaps leave it and see if Lovie tries to make a nest there.

Round II
OK, I was beaten quickly in Round I by Weelarry. But, there will be a round II this morning. Oh yes, there will be a round II.
Mystery Contest
Friday, April 23, 2010
Today's picture was taken in the 1890's, and it shows a group of lumberjacks on top of a large log. I have enjoyed these pictures this week, and hope you have too. Hope you all tune in for the mystery person contest tomorrow.

Logging Train
Today's picture was taken in 1908, and shows a Logging Train in Washington State. The trees are 12 foot diameter fir trees.

Heavy Load
This picture was taken in the 1890's and shows a group of loggers hauling a heavy load. It is hard to even picture how they got the logs stacked that high. It is also hard to imagine how they keep it from tipping over.

Giant Sequoia
Today's picture is from 1905 and shows a group of lumberjacks who have just downed a giant Sequoia in California. I wonder how long it took a group of men like this to chop the tree down?
Sunday, April 18, 2010
Welcome to Lumberjack week here at OPOD. Today we will be investigating the hard working men and women who bring us lumber and lumber products. I love this picture from 1902. It was taken in Washington State. It shows a group of men working on cutting down a very large tree.

Maintenance Mechanic
We are wrapping up Working Man week with this picture of a maintenance mechanic. The picture was taken in 1942 at the Combustion Engineering Company of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have enjoyed this series of pictures. Hope you will drop in tomorrow morning for the Mystery Person contest. I have a good one lined up.

Today's picture is of a boilermaker at the roundhouse of the Proviso railroad yard near Chicago. I had to look up the definition of a boilermaker . . . it is one who is a trained craftsman who produces steel fabrications from plates and sections. Thinking of a locomotive, it is made from large plates of steel riveted together. I wonder how many "boilermakers" are left out there. The picture was taken in 1942.
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Today's picture features a Garage Mechanic from the 1940's. How many of you remember when the Gasoline Stations were owned by individuals, who actually cared about your business. I can remember when I was growing up, we would buy our gas at Mr. Gay's station in town. When you pulled in, your car rolled over a cord that caused a loud bell to ring, Mr. Gay would run out to the car, and recognizing you, would already know what type of gas you wanted, and what amount. He would start filling the car up, and as this was happening, he would clean the front and back windshields. He would check the pressure in your tires, and then he would check the oil. All the time he would carry on a little banter with my mother and father. He would always ask them, "Who's the Boss", and would tease my dad that maybe my Mom was the boss. Everyone would get a big kick out of the joking. Then, with the windows cleaned, the car full of gas, the tires properly inflated, and the oil or other fluids topped off if needed, he would give the kids in the car a piece of bubble gum, and send us on our way. I think a really precious piece of America was lost when these types of shops were forced to close by the big corporate, impersonal gas stations of today.

Working Man week continues here at OPOD with this picture of a homesteader. The picture was taken in 1942 in New Mexico. I think growing food is a great thing to do, and American farmers are among the few people in the country who actually produce anything. I hope we see a resurgence in the popularity of young people staying on the farm, and continuing the tradition.

Good Monday morning to you all, and I hope you are having as beautiful of a springtime as we are seeing here in West Texas. We are looking at pictures of Working Men this week, as part of our campaign to get people to do real work once again. Today's picture was taken in 1942 and shows three welders working on making a ship boiler for the Combustion Engineering Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I think welding would be a great career moving forward. First, being a good welder requires a lot of skill, talent, and training. Welders are needed in good times, to build new things, and in bad times to fix old things. Welders are needed in industries that make things we have to have. Lots of welders are needed in the energy industry, and in the food production (farming and ranching) industry. I believe that a good, honest welder will always be able to support his family.

Working Man
Welcome to Working Man week here at OPOD. We intend to feature great pictures of men doing real work. Today's picture was taken in 1942, and shows a construction worker helping to build TVA's Douglas dam on the French Broad River in Tennessee. As we discussed last week, it seems like no one does real work anymore, and we don't build anything. It is particularly striking to me when I talk to students about their career plans. I hear that want to do things like get a degree in percussion (drumming?) or they want to be a pastry chef or personal fitness trainer. It is hard to make them see that just because a school offers a degree in something, it does not mean you can find a job with that degree. I have been advising students that I think the next great jobs will be jobs where you build things, or work with your hands. I think that it will turn out that being a plumber, electrician, or in the energy business will be careers where you will be able to get a job. I feel we are entering a time where people will have to make hard choices, and you want to work in an industry where you are offering something people HAVE to have, not WANT to have. If people have to choose between a personal trainer and having a plumber come and fix the toilet, people will choose a flushing toilet. For more gifted students, I think Engineering and the medical field will remain good careers. I am not trying to be Mr. negative, but I feel we still have some very tough years ahead of us, and it is going to be very difficult for young people hitting the job market.
Domestic Update: Springtime in Chickie Town
It is official; Spring has Sprung in Chickie Town, and the place is literally covered in lovely bluebonnets. I find it interesting that the chickies eat everything BUT the bluebonnets. The picture shows Miss Honey out scratching around for bugs in the bluebonnet patch. She really is a lovely bird.
The picture above shows Miss Honey and some of the other chickens. The chickies are very sociable and appear to like to do everything together.
Miss Ivy June is shown above chasing after a bug. She is one of our best egg layers.
Chickie town has turned out to be the smartest thing I have ever done. At first, Mrs. PJM was against the idea. She was concerned that I would get some big deal going, lose interest, and then she would be left to take care of the chickens. I convinced her I would take care of them, so she agreed to let me get the operation going. As it turns out, chickens are very easy to take care of, and in fact way less work than a dog. In the morning, I just have to open the door of their coop, and throw out a few cups of feed. Then all day they go around scratching and finding bugs and other things to eat. At dusk, they march themselves right back into the coop, and I close the door. Collecting the eggs is the most fun part. We are getting 9-10 eggs per day.
Project chickie town has greatly endeared me to Mrs. PJM. It has been a success on many fronts. First, Mrs. PJM loves fresh country eggs, and now she has plenty of eggs to cook with and plenty to have for breakfast. I have further improved my domestic standing by getting up every morning and cooking her breakfast of scrambled eggs and Canadian bacon.
The combination of the plentiful supply of fresh eggs and the custom made breakfasts have resulted in me achieving very high points around the house, and have helped to bring me ever closer to becoming a gentleman farmer. Just the other day, I overheard Mrs. PJM talking to some guests at our house, and I heard her describe me as a "Peach of a Husband". Yes, I achieved the highly coveted "Peach" status. Few men in history have ever achieved this status. Most men are happy to ever even get to "He is not as repulsive as he used to be", or "Not as lazy as most men", or perhaps, "Does not sweat much for a fat man." But no, I have become the "Peach".
Chickie Town also appeals to Mrs. PJM for other reasons as well. First, she loves little animals, and when she drives up, all the little chickies run up to greet her and make little chickie noises at her. This warms her heart. Also, Mrs. PJM likes to share, and since we get so many eggs, she can share eggs with all her friends. I bought these little clear 6 egg cartons, and made little stickers. When Mrs. PJM gives eggs to people, they have fancy little labels with the person's name on them.
I feel with the success of Chickie Town, a tractor is almost a sure thing at this point. I have even noticed Mrs. PJM saying things like, "With that little tractor, you could move this rock over there". Or, "If you had a little tractor, we could make a little trail over here". While I feel a tractor is almost a sure thing, rather than suggest it at this point, I would like to parley the success of Chickie Town into an even bigger success so perhaps I could get the tractor and all needed attachments this summer. So, I will play it cool for now, as I continue to build more points.
I feel I am closer than ever to becoming a true "Gentleman Farmer". I will keep you posted as the project continues.

Aircraft Worker
Today we wrap up our series of photos on the War Effort with this picture of a woman working on the control surface of a horizontal stabilizer for a bomber. She is working for the North American Aviation company. I have to say I enjoyed the pictures this week. It is good to see people working with their hands, actually building something. We need more of this these days.
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Flying Fortress
Today's picture was taken in 1942, and shows a woman assembling the bombardier nose section of a B-17 F bomber. The picture was taken at the the Douglas Aircraft Company plant in Long Beach, California. The B-17 was known at the "Flying Fortress," The B-17 had a crew of 7-9 men.
Lots of interesting discussion yesterday on the topic of manufacturing jobs in US. I have to admit that I wonder just how much has been outsourced. For example, are there ANY fabric mills running in the US that would be able to take cotton, and make t-shirts. Our little town has a Woolen Mill that can take raw wool from a sheep, and turn it into really very nice blankets. It still works, but unfortunately it is a Museum now. It had to shut down long ago, because no one wants a fine wool blanket (expensive). Everyone wants a $5 polyester blanket from Walmart. Sort of sad that nowdays a functioning Woolen Mill can only be found in a museum.

Woman Worker
War Effort week continues this Wednesday with this picture of a Woman Working. The picture was taken in 1942. It was made at the North American Aviation, Inc.'s Inglewood, California, factory. The woman in assembling a B-25 bomber engine. In looking at these pictures this week I was sort of saddened by how little manufacturing is done in this country any more. It feels like almost all of these jobs have been shipped overseas. For all the economic problems we are facing, and all the different ways you can try and assign blame, I think it all comes down to this: we will never recover unless we actually start making things again.

Building Bombers
We continue looking at the World War II War Effort. Today's picture was taken in 1942, and shows women working on the fuselage of the Liberty Bomber. The picture was taken in Ft. Worth, TX, at the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation.

War Effort
Welcome to War Worker Week here at OPOD. As men entered the military to serve in World War II, women had to step up and fill the jobs that had been done by the men. Women moved into jobs that had traditionally been done by men. The picture above was taken in 1942, and shows a woman painting the insignia onto the wing of an American airplane.

Easter Morning
John 21:
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?"
"No," they answered.
He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Saturday, April 3, 2010
OK, it is Saturday, so lets get the contest started. I really want to have a victory breakfast in the morning, so hope this is a hard one. Let the Games Begin!

Lady Driving
Good Friday Morning to you. Hope you all have enjoyed Old Car Week as much as I have. Today's picture was taken in 1907. I looking through lots of pictures this week, I am surprised to find how many picture ladies driving. Perhaps driving at this time was a popular past time for well-to-do ladies.

Sunday Drive
Today we feature a picture from the early 1900's showing two women out for a Sunday Drive. Looks like this car is from the pre-steering wheel era. I think she has a lever in her lap to steer the car.

The lights are on
Veteran Member - Level 14
I'm terrified of a future that doesn't have George Lucas calling the shots for new Star Wars films. At the same time, I'm excited for a future that has J.J. Abrams getting Star Wars back on track.
When news hit that Star Wars: Episode VII was officially greenlit, my first thought was "I hope they make it like the original trilogy." I didn't think about what that meant at the time. It was more of a gut reaction of not wanting another Phantom Menace with a half-baked script and actors that looked lost.
The rumors of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford reprising their roles coupled with Abrams' desire to use more sets than green screens makes it look like Disney's battle plan is "original trilogy or bust." The recent development of Lawrence Kasden penning a new script or fixing Michael Arndt's reinforces this belief.
I like what I'm hearing about this film, and I like the team Disney has in place. If I were in the meetings with Abrams and his crew, here are a few ideas I would throw their way:
NO CHILDREN EVERI'm sure there are some talented child actors out there – I just don't want them in the next Star Wars film. I'm fine with children being tiny specs on city streets for vehicle flybys. They can also be in the background in heavily shadowed areas. Never once, however, should they speak or emote. This even goes for aliens. That young Greedo from Phantom Menace was terrible.
THE EMPIRE WOULDN'T MAKE A THIRD DEATH STARThe Death Star is a failed concept for the Empire. If I were calling the shots for this evil regime, I would have been the first person to say "Yes, we're devoting all of our resources to creating a flying planet that shoots lasers at everything." After that Death Star was destroyed in an embarrassing way, I probably would have said "Let's make the same damn thing, but shield the vents better this time." After that Death Star blew up a second time, the dream of having the coolest spaceship in the galaxy would have been crushed completely. No one would back the creation of a third one. Not even me. If the Empire is in Episode VII, find a new way to make them a viable threat.
NO C-3PO AND R2-D2Any person walking around with an astromech droid that is over 50 years old is going to get strange looks. You don't walk down the street with a Walkman and the first cell phone. Luke Skywalker wouldn't be seen with R2-D2, either. Give him the latest and greatest droid instead. Additionally, we've seen enough of these two. They are two of my favorite characters in cinema, but enough is enough. Move on.
MAKE IT DIRTYMost of the vehicles in the prequel movies look like they belong in dealership showrooms. Most of the vehicles in the original trilogy look like they are made from garbage. I prefer the garbage look. I'm guessing any form of space travel will remove the pristine shine from a vehicle. An X-Wing probably kills hundreds of bugs each time it lands.
AVOID TATOOINE LIKE THE RAKGHOUL PLAGUETatooine has a special place in the heart of every Star Wars fan (at least it should), but that doesn't mean it's a great place for people to travel to. If you really think about what this planet has to offer, no one in their right mind would go here unless they were looking for trouble. We've seen enough of this vast desert. Show us other locations, please.
HONOR THE EXPANDED UNIVERSEI've read plenty of Star Wars comics and novels over the years. I don't want these stories to end up being alternate universe versions of what could have happened. The Expanded Universe currently stretches 40 to 45 years after Return of the Jedi. Honor this stretch as canon. The years after it are a great place for Episode VII to start, perhaps following the grandchildren of the iconic original trilogy cast.
NO NEW STAR POWERFor new characters, I don't want to see a Samuel L. Jackson-caliber actor that everyone recognizes. I don't even want to see a Topher Grace, who no one knows anymore. Keep the familiar faces to a minimum. Give me fresh blood. Let these actors make the characters their own. It worked for the original trilogy.
LEAVE THE MYSTICISMDon't go out of your way to explain the Force. Leave it as a mystical power in the galaxy that isn't explained through science. See Midi-chlorians on Wookieepedia for what not to do.
LIMIT THE COMIC RELIEFFight the urge to create characters specifically for jokes and toys for children. Han Solo offered plenty of great comedic moments in the original trilogy, all while coming across as a believable and likable character.
ON SECOND THOUGHT...C-3PO should be in the film, but only for a brief cameo where we see that the rebel alliance stranded him on Endor as the Ewok god.
Now it's your turn. Let me know what your ideal Star Wars: Episode VII would be in the comments section below. Feel free to use Jake Lloyding and Jar Jaring as verbs.

PALMETTO – A Manatee County family was on the verge of losing their home because of a tax bill glitch, but dozens of donors have stepped forward.
The Herald Tribune (http://bit.ly/14y57ri) reports that Karen Laffler and her family were on the brink of losing the home because a developer failed to pay the appropriate property taxes.
The home, which is valued at $91,000, was custom-built for their needs and donated to them in 2006. Laffler is wheelchair-bound from a stroke that she suffered several years ago. Her daughter, Amanda, was born with spina bifida and also cannot walk.
After a story in the Herald-Tribune, 58 area donors raised $40,560 that the family needed to buy back the home from an investor who had acquired it at the recent tax auction.

iPad Data Breach Case Reaches Verdict
A New York man has been convicted of illegally gaining access to AT&T's servers and stealing more than 120,000 email addresses of iPad users including film mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Andrew Auernheimer had been on trial in federal court in Newark, N.J. He was arrested last year and charged with identity theft and conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers. Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.
Prosecutors say the former Fayetteville, Ark., resident was part of an online group that tricked AT&T's website into divulging email addresses including those of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, now Chicago's mayor.
The group then shared the addresses with the website Gawker.
A San Francisco man pleaded guilty last year.

The two advertising heavyweights have teamed up on the two-hour Secrets of the Mountain, to be broadcast in April on NBC. The movie, which focuses on a single mother who brings her family to a mountainside cabin, highlights values—such as generosity, honesty and togetherness—that Wal-Mart and P&G executives say are in short supply on television.
P&G is also producing BRIGHTEN BAY, an online soap promoting Cheer which is currently featuring a contest to win a walk on role on AS THE WORLD TURNS.

Don't prepare to give answers about your skills and experience at your next job interview. Instead, be ready to tell your career stories.
Well-crafted career stories can be a powerful tool for helping a prospective employer see what kind of worker you are. And, when you craft your stories ahead of time, you're less likely to stray off topic, talk too much or give information that you'd rather not.
General guidelines for career stories:
- Be sure they are true
- Make them succinct
- Show professional growth
Here are 5 career stories you should be able to tell at your next interview (this list is by no means exhaustive!):
1. The mistake/failure –This is your chance to show that you recognize your own fallibility; that you can take responsibility and be accountable; and that you can fix your errors and learn from them. When telling your story, don't come off as sheepish or overly embarrassed – everyone makes mistakes, it's how we handle them that matters.
2. The difficult situation – Your difficult situation story should illustrate how you faced a challenge, prevailed and became a better employee for it. Note: You might want to come up with a few stories in this vein dealing with different situations, such as meeting a challenging goal, dealing with a difficult coworker, dealing with a difficult client and so on. Also, while a mistake or failure can certainly lead to a difficult situation, with this story we're looking for a challenge presented to you, rather than one you created for yourself.
3. The disagreement with your boss – This story should show that you are assertive and stand up for what you think is right. If you were able to sway your boss to your point of view, all the better. If not, though, the story should demonstrate that know when to set aside your idea and get with the program (unless, of course, it's an issue of ethics). It may also be handy to have a story about disagreeing with a colleague or client ready to go.
4. The success – Hopefully you have plenty of material for this one. When choosing a story, stay away from anecdotes about easy successes. A hard-won achievement will be more impressive. Mistake/failure and difficult situation stories often can double as success stories.
5. The collaboration – This story should recount a time that you worked successfully with a group to complete a project or reach some other goal. Key elements: your role in the group and how you influenced the outcome in a good way. This story may have elements related to your difficult situation and success stories. And, it can also be a good story for illustrating your leadership skills, or your powers of persuasion.

The Gaucho Record
UC Santa Barbara enters its Monday night game against UC Irvine with an overall record of 6-7 and a league record of 1-2. The Gauchos dropped their first two league games of the year last week, at UC Riverside (81-78) and at Cal State Fullerton (73-59), but bounced back at home on Saturday afternoon with a 77-74 win over Long Beach State. The Gauchos have gone 4-7 since opening the regular season with wins over San Francisco and San Diego.
Brown Remains Sidelined
Senior guard Cecil Brown, UCSB's leading scorer, will miss Monday's game against UC Irvine, and possibly the Gauchos' Jan. 15 game at UC Davis, after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the team's loss at Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, Jan. 4. Brown is averaging 13.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. In addition to leading the Gauchos in scoring, he paces the team in three-point baskets with 23. Brown, who scored just four points in the season-opener against San Francisco, has scored 10 or more points in his last 11 appearances, the longest such streak by a UCSB player since the 2001-02 season.
Gauchos Look For Consecutive Wins For First Time Since November
When UCSB plays UC Irvine on Monday night, the Gauchos will be in search of their second straight win. Santa Barbara has won back-to-back games just one time this season. UCSB opened the 2005-06 campaign with an 82-59 win over the University of San Francisco and then followed it up with a 67-65 win over the University of San Diego. Those wins came on Nov. 18 and Nov. 21 and the Gauchos have not won consecutive games since.
Balanced UCSB Attack Leads To 77-74 Win Over Long Beach State
Sophomore forward scored 20 points and sophomore guard Alex Harris added 17 to lead UCSB to a 77-74 win over visiting Long Beach State on Saturday. Devine and Harris led five Gauchos in double-figures. In addition, seniors Josh Davis and Joe See and freshman Tom Garlepp added 11 points as the Gauchos snapped a two-game losing streak. Santa Barbara had a six-point lead when Harris made a pair of free throws with 58 seconds remaining, but the 49ers fought back and when Aaron Nixon made a three-pointer with 24 seconds left, it was 73-72 Gauchos. Devine made a pair of free throws with 17 seconds remaining to make it 75-72, but Long Beach guard Jibril Hodges scored on a baseline lay-up with seven seconds to go to narrow the gap to 75-74. The 49ers then intentionally fouled Garlepp who made a pair of free throws with three seconds left. Long Beach's final shot was no good and UCSB had held on.

The Bob Williams File
Bob Williams is in his eighth season as the head coach at UC Santa Barbara. Last year his team struggled with injuries and finished 11-18 overall and 7-11 in the Big West Conference. It marked the first time that a Williams-coached UCSB team finished below the .500 mark in league play. During the 2004-05 season, however, Williams became the fifth UCSB coach to record 100 wins. Prior to last season, he had guided the Gauchos to three straight winning seasons, the first time the program accomplished the feat since 1987-88 through 1989-90. In 2002-03, Williams' Gauchos went 18-14 overall and 14-4 in league. The 2002-03 Big West mark earned Santa Barbara its first-ever Big West regular season championship along with a postseason trip to the National Invitation Tournament. Additionally, the success earned Williams his second Big West Coach of the Year award, his first coming after an impressive 1999 campaign. In 2001-02, Williams guided UCSB to its first Big West Conference Tournament Championship ever and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 12 years. Including this season, Williams' UCSB teams have posted a 113-104 (.521) overall record and a 74-49 (.605) record in Big West games. Prior to his arrival at UCSB, he spent eight years at UC Davis and in those eight years, his teams recorded 20 or more wins five times and a 158-76 record. In Williams' final season, the Aggies went 31-2, won the NCAA Division II National Championship and he was named NABC Division II Coach of the Year. Including two seasons at Menlo College, Williams has a record of 302-204 (.598) at four-year schools.
Williams Gets 300th Career Win
Bob Williams' 300th career win wasn't pretty, but at least it was. Get it? The Gauchos' eighth-year head coach posted the 300th win of his career on Tuesday, Dec. 20, when UCSB narrowly topped visiting Sonoma State, 67-66. Last season, Williams posted his 100th career win as head coach of the Gauchos. In all, he has won 112 games since arriving at UCSB for the 1998-99 season.
The Opponents
UCSB and UC Irvine have played 51 times in a series that dates back to 1968. The Gauchos hold a 38-23 advantage. The teams split games last season with each team winning on its own court. UCSB won in Santa Barbara by a score of 62-45 and the Anteaters won in Irvine, 72-63. UCSB and future-Big West opponent UC Davis have played 10 times in a series that began in 1939. The Gauchos hold an 8-2 advantage over the Aggies. UCSB and UCD split a pair of non-conference games last season. The Gauchos won the game in Santa Barbara, 67-62 and the Aggies won in Davis, 72-63.
The Gauchos At Home
The Gauchos are 6-0 at home this season. UCSB has won games against Long Beach State, Portland, Sonoma State, Pepperdine, San Francisco and San Diego. Although Santa Barbara struggled through the 2004-05 season, things were not that bad at home. The Gauchos went 8-4 at the Thunderdome, including 2-1 in non-conference games and 6-3 in league games. In three seasons prior to last year, Santa Barbara posted home records of 10-2 and the Gauchos have never won fewer than eight home games in a season under Bob Williams. Including its wins this season, UCSB is 71-26 at home since Bob Williams arrived for the 1998-99 season.
Balancing The Books
Entering Saturday's game against Long Beach State, UCSB had produced four double-figure scorers in a game on four occasions. On Saturday, playing without Cecil Brown, their leading scorer, the Gauchos had five players score in double-figures for the first time during the 2005-06 season. Chris Devine tallied 20, Alex Harris had 17 and Josh Davis, Joe See and Tom Garlepp each added 11. UCSB has two players averaging in double-figures, Brown at 13.8 points per game and Devine at 12.6 points per contest, but the Gauchos also have three others scoring 7.4 per game or more and three others chipping-in 4.2 or more points per outing. Santa Barbara has had five different players lead the team in scoring in games this year and nine players have scored 10 or more points in a game. In fact, all nine players who have scored 10 or more in a game have done so in at least two games.
Heavy Workload, Lots Of Rest
UCSB is one of four Big West schools to open the league season with four games in eight days. The Gauchos, along with Cal State Fullerton, UC Riverside and Cal Poly, will have played the four in eight when the final buzzer sounds at Monday night's games. Because of a quirk in the schedule that has the Gauchos playing UC Davis, which has no travel partner, and their own travel partner, Cal Poly, UCSB will follow-up the intensive league run with just two games over a 16 day period. The Gauchos will travel to Davis on Jan. 16 and then play at Cal Poly on Jan. 21.
Speaking Of Heavy Workloads
In Saturday's win over Long Beach State, four UCSB players played more than 30 minutes for the first time this season. In fact, all five Gaucho starters played 25 or more minutes for the first time in 2005-06. The 35 combined minutes played by the UCSB reserves were the fewest this season. Josh Davis (37) and Joe See (36) played season-high totals and Alex Harris (36) tied his season-high.
Making Their Points
UCSB scored 77 points on Saturday against Long Beach State. It was the fourth time in the last five games and the fifth time this season that the Gauchos had scored 75 or more in a game. Overall, Santa Barbara is now averaging 68.0 points per game. In 2004-05, the Gauchos scored 75 or more points just four times in 29 games and they averaged just 59.2 points per game. The team has increased its scoring from a year ago by 8.8 points per outing.
Help, Cecil! Help!
Does ANYONE remember Beanie and Cecil? Well, that's not my concern. Senior guard Cecil Brown will likely miss at least another week with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. The injury has sidelined one of UCSB's two hottest players. Brown leads the Gauchos in scoring at 13.8 points per game, and since scoring just four points in the team's season opener against San Francisco, he has really heated up. He has scored in double-figures in each of the last 11 games, the longest double-figure streak by a UCSB player since the 2001-02 season, and over that span he has averaged 14.7 points per game while making 61-of-135 shots from the field, 45.2%. In addition, Brown leads the Gauchos in three-pointers with 23, just one short of his single-season best of 24 set during his sophomore season in 2003-04. He has made at least one three-pointer in each of the last 11 games and he has made two or more in each of the last five. Also, since opening the year making 2-of-11 from three-point range in the first three games, he has made 21-of-47, 44.7%. On Dec. 20 against Sonoma State, Brown scored 18 points, the second-highest total of his career. He scored six of the points on a pair of clutch three-pointers in the final 51 seconds, including one at the buzzer that gave the Gauchos a one-point win. Brown scored a career-high 28 points in a Dec. 7 home win over Pepperdine. It was the highest scoring game by a UCSB player since Mark Hull had 28 in overtime against San Diego State in a National Invitation Tournament game in 2003. Finally, in UCSB's Dec. 23 game at Fresno State, Brown had a career-high eight rebounds and a season-high five assists. He has had four or more rebounds eight times this season.
Devine Is Fine
Sophomore forward Chris Devine is UCSB's hottest player. He is second on the team in scoring at 12.6 points per game, but in the last six games he has seen his scoring average jump from 8.4 per game. In the last six contests, Devine has scored 105 points, 17.5 per game, the most of any Gaucho over that span. On Saturday against Long Beach, Devine scored 20 points, his second-highest scoring effort this season. A week ago in UCSB's loss at UC Riverside, Devine scored a career-high 21 points and had a career-high 11 rebounds. It was the first double-double of his career and it came on the heels of a 19 point game in a win over Portland. He also had 19 at Cal State Fullerton last Wednesday and has now had 19 or more in four straight. In the game at Fullerton, Devine made 8-of-10 from the field. He has made at least half of his shots in 11 of 13 games and he has made 60.0% or better nine times. Overall, Devine is shooting a team-high 61.0%, but in the last six games, he has made 40-of-60 shots from the field, 66.7%. He has scored in double-figures nine times this season, including the last six in a row. In addition to ranking second on the team in scoring, Devine has reclaimed the team-leading rebounding at 5.5 per game.
The Harris Poll
Sophomore guard Alex Harris took a huge step in the right direction in Saturday's win over Long Beach. Against the 49ers, Harris made 5-of-9 shots overall, 2-of-4 from three-point range, and had a career-high 17 points. He also added a team-high six rebounds and had three assists. It was the first time in eight games that Harris scored in double-figures and his five field goals in 36 minutes were one moore than he had made in 131 minutes over his five previous games. In his five previous games, Harris had scored a total of 20 points. With the absence of Cecil Brown, the 6-foot-6 Alamedia, Calif., native could not have picked a better time to emerge offensively. While Harris had had problems shooting the ball prior to Saturday, he does lead UCSB in assists with 35 and he is second in rebounding at 4.8 per game. In the second game of the season against USD, he had 14 points and 10 rebounds. It was the first double-double he had ever produced and the first by a Gaucho guard since 2002-03. He has had five or more boards eight times.
Wait And See
Senior guard Joe See has started each of the last five games and in that time he has been one of the team's bright spots. Since going through a three-game slump in which he was scoreless, 0-for-12 from the field overall and 0-for-8 from three-point range, See has regained his shooting touch. In the last seven games he has averaged 9.1 points per game, making 23-of-35 shots overall, 65.7%, and 9-of-20 from three-point range, 45.0%. In his five starts, See has averaged 11.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, and he has made 20-of-30 from the field, 66.7%, and 8-of-18 from three-point range, 44.4%. On the year, See has improved his overall field goal percentage to 50.0% and his three-point percentage to 42.9%. He had a season-high five three-pointers and scored a season-high 17 points in the opener against San Francisco. Finally, with his 18 three-point buckets this year, See now has 105 as a Gaucho, eighth all-time.
Cam I Am
Come on people! Green Eggs and Ham is a classic. Remember 'Sam-I-Am?' If you don't, then you may have been deprived. Senior forward Cameron Goettsche has moved into third on the team in rebounding at 4.7 per game. In the last eight games, Goettsche has had five or more rebounds seven times and he has averaged 5.7 per game over that span. Also, since averaging just 4.8 points per game in the first five games, he has averaged 9.0 per game in the last seven. On Dec. 20, in a win over Sonoma State, Goettsche scored a career-high 21 points. Finally, he leads the Gauchos with 15 blocked shots and he has had at least one in seven straight.
Just Joshing
Frankly, this is my favorite guy on the team and if you knew him, he would be your favorite too. Senior swingman Josh Davis stepped-up when UCSB needed him most on Saturday. Because of the injury suffered by Cecil Brown, Davis was re-inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since returning from a sprained ankle and he responded with his best offensive performance of the season. He made 5-of-10 shots from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and finished with 11 points. He had 14 points on Dec. 3 at Loyola Marymount, but many of those came when the game was already decided. In fact, Davis' 11 points were actually five more than the six he had scored combined in all of his appearances since going for 14 at LMU. He missed three full games after spraining his left ankle on Dec. 17 at San Diego State, but in the four games he did play between the LMU game and the Long Beach game, Davis was 2-of-16 from the field for six points. He also had a pair of steals against the 49ers giving him 12 this season and 94 in his career. He needs five more to move into UCSB's all-time top-10.
From Down Under To Back On Top
Freshman forward Tom Garlepp was another Gaucho who had a nice offensive bounce-back on Saturday against Long Beach. The native of Perth, Australia, made 2-of-3 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range, and all six of his free throws, to finish with 11 points. He also pulled down six rebounds. It marked the first time since the season-opener against USF that Garlepp had scored in double-figures. He had a career-high 16 against USF on Nov. 18 and had not scored more than seven in any other game. In fact, since notching seven points in the second game of the year against San Diego, Garlepp had scored a total of 20 points over 10 games. His 11 points against LBSU matched the total he had scored in the seven previous games. Garlepp had his 11 points and six rebounds in just 12 minutes of action. In addition, four of his six free throws came in the second half with the game on the line. By making all six of his shots from the charity stripe, Garlepp has now made nine in a row and he has taken over the team-lead in free throw percentage at 85.7%.
On The Horizon
As stated earlier, the Gauchos will go from a schedule of four games in eight days to a schedule of two games in 16 days. Following its trip to UC Davis for a non-conference encounter, UCSB will have another one-game weekend when it travels to Cal Poly on Saturday, Jan. 21 for a 4:00 p.m. game against the Mustangs.

The way I see it, the "vulture group" is taking an active initiative to bring the stalled series on time - which is far better than some leecher passively complaining about how the original group is doesn't have time to give her her daily dose of [insert stalled series here]. This is assuming, of course, that the "vulture group" isn't doing a royally atrocious job of subbing the series or doing something unethical like starting from the beginning and copying the original group's translations.
If the original group feels that the "vulture group" is doing a decent job - perhaps they can ask that group to work together with them to do a joint project so that there's co-operation instead of competition...another reason that translators in a "vulture group" may not want to completely join the original group is because the "vulture group" has already established themselves, and the translator may not want to break away from her original group.
I'm not completely familiar with the intricacies of the fansub scene, so please feel free to point out any flaws to my thinking.
(Note that my above points don't apply to "parasitic groups" who try to jump on the bandwagon of an oversubbed show such as Naruto.)

And Torgen, there _are_ ways of releasing episodes even when you don't have a full-time translator with your group at the time. It certainly makes things a challenge, but Genbu has not had a permanent translator in a year and a half, and we've still managed to release several episodes.

About the vulture group thingy, I see it more like passing the baton when they cannot continue anymore. I think it's more cruel to just stand and watch a group strugling with a series and nobody do something about it.
A joint project definitely preferable tho if they can work something out.

I like the passing of the baton thing. There are cases where groups cannot continue or do not have time to work on a project and another group has excess capacity. I see nothing wrong with joint-ventures.
I see nothing with teaming up with another group or finishing another groups work if they credit the previous group or something like that then this works out well.
The industry has a lot of examples. IBM had problems with OS/2 and they called in Microsoft and now look at where we are now. OS/2 was dropped and Windows dominates the market. OK. so Microsoft is more like a vulture but you get my point. Someone should continue to fight the good fight.

Crediting the other group is really no good if you didn't have their support to begin with, sorta like how those French groups contact me and say, "Hey, send us scripts so we can release in French, since there are no Japanese to English translators IN THE WORLD! Of course we'll credit you! And if you don't, we'll just rip the text from your releases and credit you anyway!"
Standing on the shoulders of giants is all well and good, but don't be a jackass about it.

I see that AonE has started subbing Daa Daa Daa again, so if anything that's one possitive thing that's come out of this thread. We've gotten one stalled series going again. Can't wait for the others, oh, and props to AonE for subbing Daa Daa Daa and working to complete it. Two thumbs up!

Id have to say i totaly agree with you here, not to say that i look down upon groups who pick stuff up where otheres have wored up to when the original groups are still working on it.
And to you guys who notice that a series you like gets stalled, by a group you like to get the series from, why dont you ask yourselfs what can i do to help the group releasing the series at a better pace.
Remember fansubs are made for free, by fans, for fans, by living people who have real life stuff to deal with.
And to you guys who wanted Daa Daa Daa, AnimeONE is still doing it and wont stop we released 40 and 41 recently go get them and enjoy.

Finding raws is evil, so I appricate your work
And as you can see, our bakuten is still moving too! (OMG! O_O...) We just have some internal issues right now... =(
I personally hate it when other groups do MY personal projects, I always feel somewhat offended... but I guess that's just life.
(Take AFK and AI-baby for instance... I know they do a decent job, but I was still aghast when I found they were doing it...)

Does anyone have a layout diagram of the Edge Hill complex of yards showing the location of the various mechanical signal boxes before the 'colour light' invasion of the West Coast modernisation plan from the late 1950s onward.
I particularly need to identify the various signal boxes by number (e.g. Edge Hill No.11) so that I can relate the plan to the 1937 LMSR Appendix.

My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: My favorite is hard to say because all of mine have meaning behind them. I do tho enjoy my newest one as it was drawn by my boyfriend and no one will ever have it! followed by my bible verse "Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good" i think its something everyone should live by!
My next tattoo: Completing my sleeve! Flowers and birds with a few more quotes!

Last Saturday when I went to the archives library I made several mistakes.
In transcribing an obituary from a 1950s newspaper I had my pad of paper on top of the newspaper as I wrote. The young librarian sweetly cautioned me that the papers were old and that I shouldn't put anything on top of them.
I then asked about whether I could use a camera. I was given a sheet of instructions with a space to sign at the bottom and I retrieved my camera from the locker. When I turned it on to photograph a death notice in the same newspaper I forgot to switch the camera from its automatic lighting position to no flash. I was sweetly reminded by the same librarian that no flash was allowed.
When I went back this week the same sweet librarian was at the counter. Thinking that she probably recognized me and remembered my mistakes from last week, I told her that I hoped to "stay out of trouble" this week. She sweetly and smilingly said, "Oh, I'm sure we'll have to remind you about several things this week, too."
I was positive I would do better. She seemed just as positive -- in a negative sort of way -- that I wouldn't.
When I next go I will either stay away from that librarian or hope that it's been long enough between visits that she's forgotten me. (And I suppose I should review a list of dos and don'ts for public archival material.)

But last year, states passed a record number of laws that made getting abortions tougher, including one that bars insurance companies from covering the procedure. Host Michel Martin speaks discusses abortion rights today with three female university students. Advisory: This conversation may not be comfortable for some listeners.
