Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsNews & Views
My Top 10 Mustangs At The 50th Birthday Celebration - Powershiftin'
Every Mustang enthusiast has a wish list. I certainly do, and I got up close and personal with many of my favorites at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration in Concord, North Carolina, this past April.
Like many of you, I think about Mustangs constantly, and I have my ATFs (all-time favorites)—you know, the ones you either own or would kill to own (hypothetically, of course). In the name of fun, the Mustang-360.com editors each made up a Top 10 Mustang list, but we kept it to Mustangs we saw at the Mustang 50th Birthday celebrations.
Ford has built so many special Mustangs—from Shelbys to Cobra Jets, to SVT Cobras (and dozens more)—that I could easily pick 25 favorites. Heck, we're talking about 50 years of coolness, my friends. So off I went to roam the show field at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration and over the course of the weekend, I created my Top 10 list.
This was no easy task mind you, as there were thousands of Mustangs that got my heart racing. The 50th gave me a chance to slip back in time—but I also got a glimpse into the future with the '15 Mustang perched on Ford's rotating display.
And the Mustangs weren't limited to the show area—it was a treat to see many of the participants roaring around Charlotte Motor Speedway's "roval" race course, and seeing the line up of Mustangs in Ford's timeline display, where every body style was represented.
The sheer mass of Mustangs was insane, however my greatest enjoyment came from chatting with the enthusiastic owners. It was great to hear their stories and to learn about their special projects.
Of course, you're wondering what I liked the best, so here's my Top 10, along with a few photos for your enjoyment. If you want to see all the photos and my description of each Mustang, head over to Mustang-360.com and search for Evan's Top 10 Mustangs.

Robert Hepler "Rob" Lowe (pronounced /ˈrɒb ˈloʊ/; born March 17, 1964) is an American actor. Lowe came to prominence after appearing in films such as The Outsiders, Oxford Blues, About Last Night..., and St. Elmo's Fire. On Television, Lowe is known for his role as Sam Seaborn on The West Wing and his role as Senator Robert McCallister on Brothers & Sisters. He currently appears as a main cast member of Parks and Recreation in the role of Chris Traeger.
Lowe was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, the son of Barbara K. (née Hepler), a teacher, and Charles D. Lowe, a trial lawyer; his parents divorced when Lowe was young. He has a brother, actor Chad Lowe, and two step-siblings. Because of a virus during infancy, he is deaf in his right ear (he later played a deaf character in The Stand). Lowe was baptized into the Episcopal church, though his maternal grandparents were Methodists. He was raised in a "traditional midwestern setting" in Dayton, Ohio, attending Oakwood Junior High School, before moving to the Westside of Los Angeles with his mother and brother. He attended Santa Monica High School, the same high school as fellow actors Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn, Chris Penn and Robert Downey Jr.
One of Lowe's earliest roles came in the 1983 TV movie Thursday's Child, for which he received his first Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actor in a TV Movie/Miniseries". Lowe made his film debut in Schoolboy Father, followed by Class. His breakthrough came in 1983, when he and Estevez were cast in The Outsiders, which remains one of his most famous roles. Lowe played the role of Sodapop, the brother of the main character Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) in the movie. Lowe and Estevez reunited in St. Elmo's Fire, making them the two more popular boys of the Brat Pack. He followed it up with About Last Night. He also received a second Golden Globe nomination for "Best Supporting Actor" for his role as the mentally disabled Rory in Square Dance (1987).

David Dewhurst who is under criminal investigation for allegedly stealing campaign funds was accused in court this summer of defaulting on a $475,000 settlement with a land developer.Court documents obtained Friday accuse Kenneth Barfield of having a history of "failing to disclose all of his bank accounts" to S&K Development Company Inc. The company accused Barfield of moving around the $30,000 a month he was reportedly paid by the David Dewhurst Campaign.Barfield was Dewhurst's campaign manager and ran his failed bid for the U.S. Senate.

Video Conferencing: It's Not About Preference
It is about time we stop pretending as if video conferencing is here to replace face-to-face meetings. Or that it gives a "life-like" experience, which will surely make airline companies redundant. As Rich Tehrani reports from a recent Forbes survey: ... executives still expressed an overwhelming preference for face-to-face meetings, with more than eight out of ten (84%) saying they prefer in-person contact to virtual... ... face-to-face meetings are much better than meeting in any other way. The thing that people mostly miss when they dismiss video conferencing as a means for better communications is that it isn't here to replace face-to-face meetings - it is here to improve communications when you can't meet face-to-face.

Upload Streams and Other Video Calling Hurdles
Last week Stacey Higginbotham reported on GigaOm about the coming upstream revolution: Demand for upstream bandwidth is growing. Floyd Wagoner, a director of marketing and communications for Motorola Access Networks Solutions, said in an interview today that a U.S. cable provider has seen peak upstream bandwidth use increase by 24 percent from 2007 to 2008. The same provider saw average upstream bandwidth use increase by 17 percent. While this demand didn't come from video conferencing directly, it is important to note that video calling require a lot of bandwidth - both downstream and upstream: a typical 720p HD call will take about 1 Mbps - a lot more than you have on your average ADSL contract.

Atlanta, GA – (taken from the Emory press release) Emory University scored three unanswered goals, and the Eagles held on to their place atop the University Athletic Association (UAA) standings with a 3-1 win over 12th-ranked Brandeis University at the Woodruff Physical Education Center on Sunday afternoon.
The win extended the Eagles' undefeated streak to six games, as Emory improved to 10-3-1 overall for the year. Brandeis dropped to 11-4-0 on the season and to 1-3-0 in UAA play.
Brandeis pushed in front just 21 seconds into the match, as the Judges capitalized off an early throw-in to notch the first goal of the contest. A throw from about 10 yard away from the end line was able to spring junior Michael Soboff (Framingham, Mass./Newton South) on a one-on-one with the keeper. Soboff would drive towards the goal before laying the ball off to rookie Evan Jastremski (Marshfield, Mass./Marshfield), who tapped the ball in for his third goal of the year. Soboff picked up his eighth assist of the campaign on the play, tied for best on the team with senior back Ben Applefield (Avon, Conn./Avon).
Emory evened the match in the 19th minute, taking advantage of a throw-in of its own. Junior Jeffrey Cochran launched a long throw in front of the goal that found the head of junior Dylan Price, who was able to finish for the goal, his ninth of the season. Cochran picked up his team-leading seventh assist of the campaign on the play.
Just over eight minutes later, Jason Andrejchak would take advantage of a long run to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead. In the 27th minute of play, he took possession of the ball in the middle third of the field, and cut past a pair of Brandeis defenders to create the scoring opportunity. The freshman finished the play by beating Brandeis junior Joe Graffy (Concord, N.H./Concord) to the near post with a low, hard shot for his fourth goal of the year.
Price would extend Emory's lead further with his second goal of the contest in the 53rd minute. The play was setup by senior Andrew Jones, who sent a shot on goal that was smartly saved by Graffy, but the rebound was deflected out to Price, who deposited a rocket into the upper far corner of the goal for his team-leading 10th goal of the campaign.
The 3-1 score would last the rest of the way, as Emory sophomore goalkeeper Abe Hannigan made a career-high six saves in the contest. Brandeis outshot Emory 14-13 in the game, and both teams finished with seven shots on goal. Graffy made four stops in net for the Judges.
Emory will be back in action on Wednesday as the Eagles take a break from UAA competition and travel to Covenant College. The Judges are off until October 28, when they will travel to Mount Ida.

Grunt - Rite of Passage part 3
Walkthrough - Grunt - Rite of Passage part 3
After the Klixen wave has been felled, it's time to hit the keystone yet again. This time, a threat familiar to Mass Effect veterans will appear. This gigantic ground-based enemy, a Thresher Maw, can take you out in short order if you aren't careful. However, you aren't expected to kill the Thresher Maw, but rather avoid him at all costs, for five minutes (a timer will appear on-screen to let you know how much more time you have). You can kill the Thresher Maw if you want -- all you have to do is get rid of his armor to do him in -- but it's not easy. It will require a lot of firepower, and a bit of luck, because the Thresher Maw's attacks can tear through a lot of cover, rendering them useless. We actually killed the Thresher Maw by letting our teammates do most of the work automatically while we hid. We then used our grenade launcher to bombard the last bit of damage right off of the meter. This changed conversations we had later, but little else, so again, engaging the Thresher Maw is entirely optional. If you simply want to survive the five minutes without fighting, put yourself in between a piece of solid, sturdy cover, and the Thresher Maw. As he moves, you move, over and over again.
The death of the Thresher Maw (or simply surviving the onslaught for five minutes) effectively ends the Rite in success. But unfortunately, your job isn't done here. Seemingly-impressed with Grunt's ability to survive the Rite, Gatatog Uvenk shows up on the scene. He's the Krogan leader who tried to ensure that you wouldn't be able to take the Rite in the first place. At first, Uvenk is positive and, surprisingly, congratulatory. He even offers Grunt a place in his own clan. However, no matter which limbs you explore on the conversation tree, this talk will end in the same way. Grunt wants nothing to do with Uvenk, and as Uvenk admits, he wants Grunt, whether he's dead or alive. He's valuable either way. And you know what that means -- fight!
The fight with Gatatog Uvenk and his heavily-armored Krogan fighters is actually a lot easier than it seems. You'll start behind some cover, which is good, and you can plan to spring your attacks from this very location for the duration of the battle. The only time you'll ever have to move is if you aren't aggressive enough. Playing too defensively from your current position will allow your enemies to flank you and overrun your spot. So, as long as you keep the fire on consistently, you should be in the clear. Gatatog Uvenk has a powerful barrier in addition to his armor and health meter, so it will need to be whittled down to do permanent damage to him. Your best bet is to take out all of his friends first, and then have the entire party focus on eliminating him at once, which you should be able to do with the greatest of ease.
Following the fall of Gatatog Uvenk and his crew of flunkies, a series of cutscenes will ensue. You'll automatically be brought back into the presence of the Shaman, who will reward you with successfully passing the Rite. You're now an official member of the Krogan community (well, Grunt is, anyway). You can now finally speak with the Shaman about any number of issues, which you'll want to explore in-depth before heading on your way. When you regain control following this conversation, and assuming that you've been following this walkthrough, there's now nothing for you to do but return to your landing ship, and ultimately, back up to the Normandy in orbit.
Though the quest is officially over, there's something else you can do to wrap things up and get some closure here. Then again, you don't have to if you don't feel up to it. Once you're back on the Normandy, you can head back to the bowels of the ship. Once you've arrived on the engineering floor, seek out Grunt in his usual location. Speak with him about what happened back on the Krogan homeworld, and Grunt will feel a lot better about himself. In fact, as Shepard remarks, he seems more violent and angered than ever, but as Grunt states, he's able to control it now that he has purpose, and a real place amongst the Krogan. You'll be able to get Paragon or Renegade points here, depending on how you carry yourself, so there's no reason not to have this conversation to sort of wrap everything up, as far as Grunt's quest is concerned.

(Bonus points if you noticed the snow flying through the picture!)
Whew, we've been busy, and we've also had some great contractors working with us too.
We finally have a driveway! No more slogging through the mud to get to the house, despite the wet weather we've had this week. Using a large bull dozer and scraper, our driveway was installed last week. The little kids had fun watching that big equipment.
After removing about 8 inches of top soil, and spreading it up by the house, road base was brought in by the truckload.
After it was all smoothed out and graded, we have a functional new driveway.
Our exterior doors were delivered, and I LOVE our new front door. We installed the doors ourselves, on a base of concrete board, and with the help of 3" screws and some shims.
Here's a close up of the glass detail. It's called a prairie bevel. I am so thrilled with how it came turned out.
Just imagine the door painted a lovely blue green color! I will get the doors painted when the weather warms up a bit more.
Here's the exterior as it stands as of this last evening:
Meanwhile, we've had the HVAC contractor installing all the vents and return runs for our heating and cooling system. We'll be installing what is called a water furnace. It uses water from our future well, and then, it is returned to the earth to be reused. It is extremely efficient, which is great when you have only electricity to use out in the country!
We've just about got the wiring finished upstairs, and we'll finish up the basement this week.
It looks a bit like a maze, huh? I write what each location is supposed to control on the stud above the boxes, and each wire is labeled as to where it's either coming from or headed to.
This picture is looking through our master bathroom into the hall bathroom. I'm hoping to make the bathrooms look a little more vintage with chrome fixtures, and the three sconces around the vanity. I'm crossing my fingers that we can afford to install small white hexagon or octagon tile.
This is the next challenge, the electrical panel. Each of those wires needs to be installed in a breaker. Hopefully it will look a lot more organized soon!
Looking through the basement, you can see the main duct runs for the HVAC. We have two main exits for the sewer lines out of the house from the basement which will eventually run into the future septic tank system. Ah, the joys of country living. :)
The small white box is where our communications systems will be fed into, the TV antenna, internet, and phone lines will all be centered there.
Next big project is installing the shingles on the roof. The shingles will be delivered tomorrow. The color we've ordered is called Black Oak. They are mostly black with hints of grey and brown. I think it will look wonderful. Our goal is to be ready for insulation, and have the roof finished by the end of March. Wish us luck!

Marco Rubio said Americans increasingly want health law repealed
Many Republican legislators commemorated the fourth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act on March 23 by calling for its repeal.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., spoke out against the law in a video message to his supporters.
"We cannot give up," he said. "Obamacare is not something that's set in stone. It can be repealed —and Americans increasingly want it to be repealed — and that's what we'll continue to do."
PolitiFact wanted to know if Rubio's assessment of polling on the law is accurate. Do more and more people want the law repealed? We didn't hear back from Rubio's folks.
Many major pollsters include a question about repeal in their periodic surveys. Reports from the nonpartisan RealClearPolitics and the conservative American Enterprise Institute, both institutions that cover politics, don't match up with Rubio's claim. These averages across polling platforms are useful, but they also draw from a small number of polls and combine results from a question each group asked in a slightly different way.
RealClearPolitics shows that in December 2013, about 52.3 percent of the public favored repealing the law. Since 2011, that number hasn't wavered much.
RealClearPolitics arrived at these figures by averaging reports from Quinnipiac, Rasmussen, Fox and CNN surveys.
American Enterprise Institute included a broader swath of polls in their analysis, which ended up making for a much lower aggregate. Senior fellow Karlyn Bowman said she'd peg the repeal rate at anywhere between 35 to 45 percent, depending on the poll.
Although the numbers vary based on question wording and possible responses, the trends themselves don't, experts said. The percentage of the country that wants to repeal Obamacare is sizable, but not growing.
"If you look poll to poll, it's not clear that they're rising dramatically, but it's still a big number and something people should pay attention to," Bowman said. "Repeal sounds radical, and we're just not a very radical kind of people. We like to take the middle ground if possible."
Our ruling
Rubio said, "Americans increasingly want (Obamacare) to be repealed." Depending on which polls you consult, anywhere from about 35 to 50 percent of the nation does want the law repealed. That's not insignificant.
But we take issue with his claim that as time goes on, more voters are calling for repeal. Experts say the percentage of voters who want Obamacare repealed is staying consistent within each poll.
We rate Rubio's claim Mostly False.

Optimism abounds for incoming frosh
They've figured out their way to the House floor, taken the oath of office, elected their party leaders and stood for family photos on the front steps of the Capitol.
Now, for 84 freshmen, the real work starts.
Story Continued Below
They're coming to Congress at a time when the country faces steep fiscal challenges, a potential fight over the debt ceiling looms and the hyperpartisanship of the fiscal cliff fight didn't inspire optimism that things are going to get better.
( PHOTOS: First session of the 113th Congress)
So for the stereotypical, cynical Beltway-type or battle-hardened lawmaker, Thursday's pomp and circumstance may have been mostly a break in the routine name-calling and bickering that's become synonymous with the House of Representatives. Hill veterans may remember their first day in Congress and wonder how long the new members can keep any sense of optimism and hope.
But the freshmen, still bright-eyed at the prospect of being in Washington, are for the most part confident things will be different and maybe, just maybe, they'll be able to figure some things out that their predecessors couldn't.
"The truth is this is a much different Congress. The new members were elected on a message of bipartisanship whether they are Republican or Democrat," said Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.). "So I expect a lot more to happen this Congress. Maybe I'm naive enough to believe we can work together for the country."
There was enthusiasm in the halls as members shuffled their families from room to room. Democrats were noticeably more upbeat than their GOP colleagues were during their vote for speaker of the House in which 12 Republicans voted for someone other than John Boehner, voted present or abstained. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi glowed sitting on the floor as her caucus — minus a few Blue Dog Democrats — voted for her.
That unity, said Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), is a sign that Democrats are ready to stick together in the next Congress.
"You saw in our caucus we're unified. We understand where our priorities are, which is to strengthen middle class, work on reasonable deficit control measures," he said.
Still, Swalwell sensed that the current freshman crop felt a particular pull to work together, at least for now.
"I've worked through these weeks of orientation with these 84 members of Congress on the right side of aisle and the left, and there's a real spirit of 'We're here to solve problems.'"
Conservative Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), was excited to get to work too and called the beginning of the 113th Congress "one of the most challenging times we've had in America."
"I come in wanting to work with everybody although I won't give up my core principles," he said. "We frankly have to get it right and we're running out of time."

The Ravens made their long-awaited move to upgrade at wide receiver Friday, trading a fourth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for Lee Evans.
The acquisition of one of the NFL's most consistent deep threats should quell the teeth-gnashing after Malcom Floyd re-signed with the San Diego Chargers and Derrick Mason defecting to the New York Jets. Evans is considered an upgrade over both of those free agents because he's more proven than Floyd and is faster than Mason.
The Bills' third all-time leader in receiving yards, Evans is expected to become the Ravens' No. 2 receiver. His speed will complement Anquan Boldin's physical style. His 15.7-yards per catch average ranks 12th in the NFL since Evans entered the league in 2004.
"He's a quality veteran receiver who stretches the field and gives us a significant downfield presence," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "He's the type of person you want on your team. He brings leadership and maturity to the locker room."
This move adds much-needed experience to the Ravens' wide receiver group and allows the Bills to shed more salary. Evans, 30, is scheduled to make $3.275 million in 2011 and 2012, the final two years of his contract (which reportedly includes an additional $1 million roster bonus due in 2012).
It is believed the Ravens were inclined to wait until Evans was cut by the Bills, a small-market team known for reducing their payroll. But Buffalo started shopping Evans aggressively Thursday (Arizona and Carolina reportedly showed interest), which prompted the Ravens to make the trade.
"This is a very exciting time for me and my family and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to play for the Baltimore Ravens," Evans said in a statement. "I'm excited about the Ravens organization, players, and coaching staff and can't wait to get started."
The Ravens' second straight year of trading for a wide receiver (they acquired Boldin from Arizona 17 months ago) gives Evans an opportunity to revive his career. His receptions have dropped the past few seasons from 63 to 44 to 37.
He is coming off his worst season, which included 37 catches for 578 yards and four scores. He also missed the final three games with an ankle injury, the first time he missed a game in his seven-year NFL career.
But Evans, the 13th overall pick in the 2004 draft, has averaged over 15 yards per catch in six of his seven NFL seasons in the NFL despite playing with five starting quarterbacks (J.P. Losman, Kelly Holcomb, Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm) in six seasons, and wintry weather in Buffalo that better suits the running game.
If there is a team that is need of speed, it's the Ravens. Their 40 passes of 20 yards or more was tied for 27th in the NFL. Evans' 56 catches of 25-or-more yards is tied with Green Bay's Greg Jennings for 10th-most in the NFL since 2004.
The news was well-received by Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs.
"We signed Lee Evans????," Suggs posted on Twitter. "Championship!!!!"
Bills cornerback Drayton Florence questioned the deal.
"Sad day for the Bills," Florence wrote on Twitter. "Are we trying to win now or later????"
The Ravens saw first-hand how much of an impact Evans can make. Evans' best game last season came against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, where he caught six passes for 105 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 overtime loss by the Bills.
"Our fans will remember him from his outstanding game against us last season," Newsome said.
Bills general manager Buddy Nix said the team traded Evans because they have six or seven promising receivers to develop.
"There was a lot of interest in Lee and you could understand why," Nix told WKPW in Buffalo. "He's a good player and has done a lot of really good things here. He'll add to Baltimore. I think it's a good opportunity for him. Ozzie Newsome and I go back years and [offensive coordinator] Cam Cameron and I worked together. I think it's a great opportunity for Lee also."
The Ravens desperately needed experience in their wide receiver group. Take away Boldin and no wide receiver on the Ravens roster had caught a pass in the NFL last season.
Evans' career totals include 377 catches for 5,934 yards and 43 touchdowns. The Ravens can now move rookie second-round pick Torrey Smith to the No. 3 wide receiver spot and fourth-round pick Tandon Doss to No. 4.
With the wide receiver position solidified, the Ravens still need to add a veteran offensive tackle, an experienced backup quarterback and an offensive lineman who can play center and guard.
"We're excited about getting Lee Evans," coach John Harbaugh said. "He's a proven player in this league and a quality person who will fit in well on our team. We're all looking forward to going to work with him."

I've been burying my head in books of late trying to map out my first PhD chapter. This has meant some fairly extensive reading around the subject of power.
It's fair to say that most scholars agree that power can be exerted through two complementary mechanics: violence (i.e. physical force) and discourse/communication (i.e. coercion, influence, etc).
So it was interesting to be on Whitehall last Wednesday during the student demo and to witness both mechanics in operation.
[Slideshow courtesy of ashleydmiddleton on Flickr]
I won't major on the resultant media coverage (which, is something that could be discussed extensively in another post) but suffice to say that hindsight, the traditional media's coverage was fairly standard reporting utilising the atypcial frames wheeled out for public disorder, (e.g. any violence is always the work of a "minority"; a false dichotomy is established between legitimate, peaceful protest and illegitimate, violent protest, largely unquestioning of police facts, press releases, etc – although to be fair, the latter is partly a problem with the formalised news production processes, than, say, undue influence).
But two things struck me as worth blogging about.
Firstly, I wanted to write down a personal encounter that got me thinking about the possible use of strategic policing tactics that were potentially used to manipulate the outcome of events and the subsequent media representation of the day.
Shortly after the kettle formed – and it was inevitable from the minute the march arrived at Parliament Square that it would be kettled – I was stood behind the police line when I witnessed a short man dressed in black, with a black hat (or possbly balaclava pulled up onto his head) be ushered through the police line after flashing something small and white resembling an ID card from a retractable lanyard at his waist.
He then disappeared between several police vans parked near the police line.
Now far be it from me to suggest that the police were using the same tactics as were used during the G20 protests when it was revealed that undercover or plain clothes police were being used as agents provocateurs, but the similarities between this scenario and the G20 struck me as a possibility.
Of course, it is apparently standard procedure to sue undercover police to gather intelligence at demonstrations but it would interesting to scour the footage of the first people to start trashing the controversial police van, allegedly planted as bait for riot porn, to see whether the same person was involved.
The second thing worth mentioning is that while a lot of people present on Wednesday were confident the van *had* been left as bait (similar tactics were possibly used during the already mentioned G20 protests when the only building left unprotected by horading was a branch of RBS, then the UK's most hated bank) most presumed that this angle to the story would not make mainstream news reports.
But in that assumption they were only half right. While the story didn't make any main bulletin, Sky News' Frontline blog comes right out and asks the question whether the van was intentionally planted.
What's interesting to me is that here is a classic example of professional journalists using informal, social media platforms to publish stories not deemed sufficiently news-worthy to make the headlines – or at least mainstream headlines. Not only that, but this story actually challenges the dominant media narrative based on 'official' reporting of events.
So, what are the conclusions and implications here? I'm not entirely sure really. But it's worth considering the argument that the police don't just use communications strategies to best report what's happening, but rather stage-manage events to shape the communcitive outcome.
It's also worth bearing in mind that while big new outlets remain dominant in shaping the agenda, social media not only provides (potentially mutiple) counter-arguments it seems that this counter-voice can also come from within media corporations.
I guess this latter point seems like common sense, but it's always nice to spot and note a case study.

Good job Peach! I'm off to bed. I'm up way past my bedtime.
and here is a video of the golf course--anybody think the scenery looks like the preview??video link: http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=715966006&channel=716588356
Can you take out you embedded video please peach? its killing my pc Kudos to apskip, he was firm in believing that End City would be Alaska
YAY for Colby! It is thanks to you that we know so much about the tasks in this episode!
we know colav10.and anon1akacolby I think puddin meant that apskip was 100% sure that they wont fly anywhere else AFTER alaska while others thought they'd go to alaksa, do tasks, and then go somewhere else.
Phil tells us its a Detour & they look like crabs and what Michael said
on Metropolis Forums a user called TARFAN1 looked at the same thing patlini they were at the top of it as were all previous winners then the Nate and Jenn thing came up and well noone believed her now I am starting to believe her lol!!!!!!!!!!Puddin in the screencaps Rachel and a few others are in a tank the things in the water are lobsters I believe and it seems to be a roadblock??
Based on previous vid caps I would say that the order we see items being done is the order teams have to do them. I have also noticed in the past that the first team they show doing a task usually is the first team at the task.Timeline:Fly to AlaskaDetour - Ice climb vs. Something with crabsRoad block - Something with skinning salmonGo to winning location!The item that is puzzling is: What the heck are Ron, Tk and Don waiting for??? Clearly Ron does the roadblock w/salmon. Are there other tasks that they have to complete this leg? Also, is the gramps team running to a boat that will take them to the detour? Or from a task that they now have to get the finish line?

It's good to be back from a lengthy hiatus after starting a new job and being diagnosed with histamine intolerance. Histamine intolerance is the lack of a particular enzyme to break down the histamine in foods. The buildup of histamine in the body causes a host of allergy-like symptoms. This added over 10 foods that I now have to manage to avoid on top of the gluten, dairy and soy free diet. So needless to say my restaurant dining decreased dramatically for awhile. But now that I've gotten a handle on managing my new diet, I'm back with the launch of a collection of my top three favorite restaurants by neighborhood; and to kick it off I'm starting with the Westside!
Miller Union
This is one of my favorites in all of Atlanta. Steven Satterfield and Neal McCarthy keep the focus on the farm – changing the menu frequently based on that week's selection of crops. The great thing about true farm to table restaurants is that the chefs are always aware of which ingredients are in each dish. Every time I've dined there my waiter has been fully educated and works with the kitchen to ensure the best meal possible. Their wine menu has ample variety including the hard to find Albert Boxler Grand Cru Pinot Gris – Eat.Drink.Repeat's Sarah-Ann Soffer's favorite. I also love the bee hive collection in the back room and the unassuming yet well stocked bar.
Yeah! Burger
I've already written about Yeah! Burger but it's still top of my list. You just can't beat having a burger with a bun. My favorite addition to the menu is the crispy Brussels sprouts. They started these as a monthly special but luckily decided to keep them around. They are by far the best Brussels sprouts I've had in Atlanta. I've also finally ventured to try their salads which I never thought would be so good. The hydroponic lettuce is full of flavor and then tossed in house-made dressing. I go for the Lemon vinaigrette.
This paleo-focused restaurant, tucked away in a strip center off Huff Rd, is a hidden gem. I love going for brunch and order the vegan breakfast, a plate of roasted sweet potatoes, greens and a spicy pinto cake. If I'm more in the mood for lunch, I'll get the bahn-mi style burger.

LOS GATOS – A few firefighters with the best vantage of wildfire season in the Santa Cruz Mountains this summer have been battling fires from the air, dropping hundreds of gallons of water from a Cal Fire helicopter and guiding ground crews to remote areas.
Although the rural areas in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Santa Clara counties have been spared from a large wildfire in recent months, members of Cal Fire's Alma Helitack Base said the worst may be yet to come. Brush and grass continue to dry out as the region's drought wears on.
"Most of the fires start in August or September, so this summer's just starting for us," said Cal Fire Capt. Eric Gomberg.
Firefighters such as Gomberg at the Alma station near Lexington Reservoir often respond to wildfires in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but they cover from Monterey to Mendocino County and Interstate 5 to the ocean. The crew also rescues stranded beachcombers at places such as Panther Beach on the North Coast and mangled mountain bikers in the Soquel Demonstration State Forest.
This week, while training on the dusty banks of a very low Lexington Reservoir, members of the Helitack crew took a moment to explain how they work and how they've compensated for shallow ponds and other water sources they use to fill the helicopter's tank.
"We're having trouble with low water supply all throughout the state," said Cal Fire Capt. Matt Sterck, who works at the Alma station.
"And we're getting fire behavior at the end of July that we'd normally get in September or October."
No matter how small a wildfire initially appears, firefighters said they hit as swiftly and aggressively as possible.
How it works
When the crew is dispatched, a pilot and a captain sit in the cockpit and six firefighters pile on to bench seats in the back of the Alma Helitack's 1969 Bell UH-1H "Huey" helicopter, similar to those used in the Vietnam War.
Wearing helmets with integrated two-way radios, they take off from the Alma helicopter pad without water in the tank in part because the helicopter must balance the weight of fuel and the firefighters on board.
With a rough location of a wildfire, the firefighters in the helicopter talk to firefighters in engines on the ground via radios, guiding each other to the fire.
The pilot usually finds a spot to drop the six firefighters on the ground — whether it be in tight canyons as the chopper hovers about 5 feet above the ground or a clearing in the woods. Finding a spot to land can be a challenge, pilots said.
Firefighters on the ground can hook up a hose from a fire engine to the helicopter's 370-gallon tank and fill it with water.
Alternatively, the helicopter crew can leave the crew and find a pond, swimming pool or other water source, sucking up water via a "snorkel" hose. That water is dropped onto the fire. One, two or three doors of the tank can be opened depending on how much water they want to drop.
The whole process of dropping off a crew and finding water typically happens at the same time a ground crew of firefighters is hitting the fire with water. A plane or planes — typically from Cal Fire Hollister Air Attack Base — also drop retardant on the fire simultaneously.
Cal Fire's goal is to contain 95 percent of wildfires to 10 acres or less.
"The mantra is: Hit it hard and keep it small," said Cal Fire Capt. Dave Manson.
Cal Fire firefighters armed with hoses watch as the Alma Station helicopter comes in for a dusty landing at the Lexington Reservoir in Los Gatos on
Manson, a 45-year-old from Santa Cruz, said he started as a seasonal firefighter after he finished high school.
His father was a San Jose firefighter, "And I just wanted to be a fireman, you know?" Manson said.
Now a part of the Alma Helitack crew, he said it's become routine to be dispatched to a wildfire on the helicopter.
Yet it still gets his heart pumping when he sees wildfires from the air. Some of his fellow firefighters shrugged about it during a training exercise Thursday. He called them out.
"C'mon, when you see that smoke? It gets you going," Manson said.
On July 24, firefighters used planes, the Alma Helitack helicopter and ground crews to douse two quarter-acre wildfires north of Boulder Creek near highways 9 and 236. It took about 50 minutes to stop forward progress on the two fires, according to Cal Fire. While the helicopter crew was in the air, it also spotted a third hot spot near China Grade Road and helped stamp that out as well. No one was injured and no buildings burned.
Two days later in South San Jose, the Alma Helitack crew helped battle a 15-acre brush fire near Almaden Quicksilver County Park.
"It's been a little slower in our area than in some years. But sometimes it's three to five (calls) a day," said Cal Fire Capt. Sean Ketchum, who also works at Alma Helitack.
The helitack base and its helicopter pad are just downhill from Cal Fire's Alma Fire Station 13, which is a normal fire engine unit on a frontage road of Highway 17 near Bear Creek Road. The two stations are spartan, with a dirt and rock parking lot, worn wooden benches, a clothes washer and dryer and living areas.
The helicopter crew said its attacks have become a bit more difficult this year because it's been harder to find water.
Drought woes
Some of the ponds in the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounding area are used to "snorkel" water in to the helicopter. Many of those ponds are now shallow because the drought, and the "snorkel" suction hose can pick up dirt and small rocks.
That can lead to a brown, dirty water in the helicopter's tank, which might not be as effective on a wildfire as pure water.
To compensate for that lack of water, leaders at Cal Fire's Alma station this year added portable water tanks that can be filled near wildfires instead of ponds. Firefighters on the ground find water from fire engines, water tanks or other sources, and fill those 1,500 gallon yellow tanks — which resemble a large, collapsible hot tub. They can be filled.
Thursday, firefighters practiced hovering their helicopter about 15 feet over a portable tank — also known as a buoy walled tank — and sucking up water with a red snorkel hose.
Anyone standing anywhere near the chopper's booming blade got blasted by dust, or "peppered," as firefighters call it. The dirt gets into eyes, ears, noses and clothing. Firefighters usually wear ski goggles so they can see something besides dust near the chopper's rotor blade.
"You're usually sweaty, so it's sticking to you — all the dirt and bugs on your back," said Manson.
Cal Fire Capt. Dan Clark, a 54-year-old who also works at Alma Helitack, piloted that helicopter.
Originally from Los Angeles County, Clark started flying planes U.S. Army in 1979 and helicopters about 1984. He said his military work was similar to firefighting.
"We're actually at war with the fire," Clark said.
Clark said the crew usually flies only during daylight hours because wires and other obstacles aren't visible at night. Hitting an electrical wire could be catastrophic if it wrapped around the rotor blade.
Clark said he lives in Washington state, working for Cal Fire seven days on and seven days off. Typically, firefighters on the helicopter crew work in 72-hour shifts.
He called the Huey helicopter model "stone-cold" reliable, and they're maintained better by Cal Fire than they were by the Army.
"Even the firefighters can't break them. And they can break just about anything," Clark quipped.
Tips for rural homeowners
Clean: Create a 30-foot 'lean, clean and green' area around the home and 100 feet of defensible space around it.
Mark: Clear vegetation around address markers and use contrasting colors for visibility.
Map: Have wildfire escape routes planned.
Mow: Don't mow grass or use other equipment that could create sparks after 10 a.m.
Trim: Clip unnecessary wires that could hinder a helicopter crew.

Copyright And The End Of Property Rights
from the why-copyright-is-not-property deptYes, we've had the debate over and over and over again during the years (so much so that I'm not even going to dig up the links) concerning whether or not copyright is like "property." However, reading an article by Alex Cummings on "the end of ownership," it really drives home why copyright can often be anti-property rights, in that it takes away the standard types of "rights" that people have in property they've purchased. Cummings' piece focuses on the secondary market for copyright-covered content, and how the content industries have been trying for over a century to stamp such things out, but were long held back by important concepts like the first sale right. However, in an all digital world, they're having a lot more luck in killing off secondary markets:
Congress declined to heed the industry's cries in 1906, but the issue of how consumers may use copyrighted works has cropped up and again. In the 1930s some record companies placed labels on their discs that said they were for "home use only"—not for playing on the radio. The courts rejected this restriction and sided with broadcasters. In the early 1980s, the music industry successfully lobbied Congress to pass the Record Rental Amendment, ensuring that a Blockbuster-like store for renting music would never emerge.And, of course, he discusses things like the ReDigi case, which basically said even if you purchased a digital item, you have no right to resell it. And the impact of all of this can be pretty broad, going well beyond just digital files, to a question of whether or not you'll really be able to "own" anything you purchase, because companies are increasingly using copyright to stop your basic ownership rights:
Today, we see a renewed attack on the rights of consumers by big business. Overly zealous regulation means that consumers are essentially barred from "unlocking" a cell phone, or severing the device from its original wireless carrier. Critics warn that such restrictions not only limit the rights of consumers but threaten to stifle old-fashioned tinkering and innovation. It is as if Ford told customers that they can't pop the hood of their car and mess around its inner workings (which is how the world got NASCAR, incidentally).When you begin to think about all of those things -- many of which are already happening -- you begin to see just how anti-property rights copyright can be at times. Some of this, you could argue, is copyright misuse -- individuals and companies stretching the clear intent of copyright law to their own advantage -- but some of it seems to be part of the design of copyright law: to restrict all sorts of things you can do with your own property. It's difficult to see how strong supporters of property rights can also claim that copyright is good for property rights when you look at how many ways it seems to attack those basic concepts, and leads to a world where many of the things you "buy" you no longer own.
How far should a phone company's power extend into our personal lives when we buy one of their products? When you buy a phone or an MP3, is it really yours—or has a company just loaned it to you with a laundry list of stipulations and provisos? The age of cloud computing is upon us, and soon most of our books, movies, and musics might have no material form. We may discover that buying something no longer means owning it in any meaningful sense—and our stuff isn't really ours anymore.

Restoring of school money gets push
AUSTIN — Legislators should quickly restore public education funds since they took hardly any time bumping up their own staff budgets, education advocates said Thursday.
A day after returning to the Capitol, the House voted overwhelmingly for a routine resolution allowing legislators to increase their monthly staff budget by $1,325 — from $11,925 to $13,250.
The increase applies only for the five months of the legislative session, which opened Tuesday.
The increase won't cost taxpayers any extra money since the allocation simply shifts money from unexpended House administration budgets, including House committees, to the office accounts of individual lawmakers.
Collectively, up to $993,750 could be added to those office accounts.
Meanwhile, the Senate boosted its staff budget by 7 percent.
Lawmakers cut their office accounts by 10 percent two years ago during tough economic times.
"I've heard from several members who had difficulty hiring or retaining staff, or they have had to supplement staff salaries from their campaign accounts or their personal accounts," House Administration Chairman Charlie Geren, R-Fort Worth, told his colleagues.
The resolution also increases the maximum monthly staff salary to $5,000 from $4,200.
No legislator objected to the increase before the 143-5 vote.
And while it won't cost additional money, it did raise some eyebrows.
The GOP-controlled Legislature cut $5.4 billion in public education funding two years ago, resulting in 11,487 teachers and nearly 15,000 additional education staff members losing their jobs, education expert Lynn Moak testified in the ongoing school funding trial.
State leaders have expressed willingness in the early days of the session to restore funding for enrollment growth (about $1.1 billion a year) but have not shown much appetite to restore public school funds despite a much rosier economic forecast.
"The House made it easier to do their work. Now it's time for them to make it easier for schoolchildren to do their work," Texas State Teachers Association spokesman Clay Robison said. "Schoolchildren should be a higher priority."
An $8.8 billion budget surplus and a Rainy Day Fund balance of more than $11 billion provide more than enough money, Robison said, "for the legislative majority to do the right thing. Restore the school funding cuts and start reducing the number of overcrowded classrooms. Some 11,000 teachers lost their jobs. They belong back in the classroom."
The head of the state's American Federation of Teachers doesn't begrudge the lawmakers but hopes they take a cue from their own actions.
"We appreciate that the House values the idea that you need to pay respectable wages to keep quality staff and to avoid the cost of turnover," AFT President Linda Bridges said. "We hope they take this view when looking at public education funding in the session ahead."
Funding for public education and other state services won't be decided until much later, said Jason Embry, spokesman for House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio.
"Decisions about funding for public education and other priorities will be made by the full House as the appropriations bill moves through the legislative process in the months ahead," Embry said.
Geren assured his colleagues their office salary increase "is not new money and only shifts unexpended appropriations made to run the state House. Those accounts will roll back to previous limits after the session ends by June, he said. Geren also noted the legislators' $600-a-month salary, set by the state Constitution, will not change.
The Legislature is part-time work, with the state House running efficiently to protect taxpayers, Embry said.
"This money has already been allocated to the House and remains unspent — and while this increases office budgets, the amount of money spent is left to each member's discretion," Embry said. "As always, Speaker Straus encourages members be efficient with resources when serving their constituents."

Jeniferever – Nangijala EP (Club AC30,pictured)
Accusatory comments of nepotism, be gone. This EP offers expected sumptuousness from the formerly DiS-signed Swedes that, while offering long-term fans little beyond what was heard on their Choose A Bright Morning LP, rattles and drones, twinkles and sweeps quite exquisitely. Personally there's still the feeling that vocalist Kristofer Jönson is a weak link in the band, as his frail tones lend the unfolding instrumental drama no additional weight (although his guitar contributions are essential), but there's a meticulously considered balance to the quartet's arrangements that's otherwise close to perfection. The slow-release title-track is backed by a pair of more instantaneous songs on its flip (the EP comes on delicious blue vinyl), making this quite the pleasant little package for fans of post-rock and shoegaze acts from across the sea.
Fat Freddy's Drop – 'Camel' (Kartel)
Dub-heavy reggae-tinged stuff from award-winning New Zealand seven-piece Fat Freddy's Drop that, while positively dripping laidback summertime vibes, feels completely lost amongst the ever-morphing guises of modern pop music. This is the sort of track you'd quite happily sup a cider over ice to while the August sun dropped to the horizon, but quite how often you'd want to hear it without such situational context is questionable; it merrily shuffles its way along, suiting well a tapped thumb on a picnic table but little body-moving beyond that.
Data Select Party – 'No Girls Allowed' / 'You Should Know Bedda' (Small Town Records)
Londoners Data Select Party have got all the Q And Not U albums, and probably burned a couple of Faraquet records when they were younger, too. No shame in that, though, and while such influences shine through brightly on this double-A, the foursome's execution is bubbly and their vocals (more than one member steps up) are chirpy and engaging. Coming on like I Was A Cub Scout if they'd roped in a couple of Tubelords and a JoFo for an underground twiddle-rock supergroup, 'No Girls Allowed' is the more instant-hitting of the brace, but the slower, lovelorn-tinged 'You Should Know Bedda' sounds like a fanclub sing-along to be.
Stricken City – 'Tak o Tak' / 'Bardou' (Adventures Close To Home)
The debut double-A from London's Stricken City, fronted by the awesomely named Rebekah Raa, is a lo-fi thwack-and-"doot"-along with bonus synths on one side ('Tak o Tak') and a bluesy torch song in the vein of The Duke Spirit on the other ('Bardou'). There's not quite enough meat here to get a decent taste of the foursome's broader repertoire – see them at the Vortex Jazz Club on August 3 to develop any initial impression – but this seven-inch's sweetly scratchy production can't mask the glossy pop these newcomers are clearly capable of. 'Bardou' in particular bodes well for the future, as it builds in volume and pace to a breathless climax.

Fight Like Apes – 'Lend Me Your Face' (PIAS)
Remember The Chalets? They did this punchy girl-fronted fight-pop a lot better. This is just under two minutes of shouting and screaming atop a bunch of keyboards being kicked around an empty warehouse – the threatening tones of singer MayKay ring hollow and, despite a lot of energy, come the song's ending there's no pay-off for the listener. Where there should be blazing fireworks there's just a damp sparkler and no gloves.
Micachu – 'Golden Phone' (Accidental)
Micachu – she who fronts the trio …And The Shapes – is a front-girl with plenty of attitude, and so far has penned songs enough to exhibit obvious pop potential. She's not out of university yet, though, so it'd be wise of Accidental to take things slow here and allow these buds to blossom. 'Golden Phone' is a glitched-up re-imagining of something Jamie T might've conjured a couple of years back – a simple narrative set to quirky beats and pieces displaying more than a modicum of originality. It's fairly slight of frame compared to some of the material DiS recently witnessed live (hide your Hoover if you do see the band in person), but Micachu's heavily-accented east-end-isms dominate, marking her out as an anti-Adele for those burnt-out by too many ballads.
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip – 'Letter From God To Man' (Sunday Best)
A.K.A. the Radiohead one, seeing as it samples 'Planet Telex' 'til you can't even hear what producer Le Sac has added to the mix. Try though I have to fully get into Scroobius Pip's rhymes – tight, tumultuous, tongue-twisting – as yet I've failed, and again 'Letter From God To Man' has me appreciating the man's ability but caring not for what he's actually saying. There's something about war in there, and environmental woes, but… well, we have heard it all before. Only without a Big Fat 'Planet Telex' sample to distract us from the message, man.

Sam Sparro – '21st Century Life' (Island)
Sam Sparro's got the funk for sure, but it's not quite as enjoyable on this single as it seemed while 'Black & Gold' dominated the singles chart top five. '21st Century Life' glistens with expertly-applied studio magic, and Sparro's got a great set of pipes on him, with plenty enough power in his vocals to carry high-energy pop like this, but… the overall result isn't quite up to the on-paper promise. Plus the lyrics are truly weak, making that stuff about fish swimming out of the ocean positively Shakespearean. A disappointing follow-up to one of 2008's few phenomenon-level single releases.
The Pigeon Detectives – 'Everybody Wants Me' (Dance to the Radio)
It might sound crass at first, but the lyric "Everybody wants me now / but I just want you" is actually pretty sweet, especially given the rather base-level emotional nature of many of The Pigeon Detectives' singles to date. Of course the chorus is delivered in perfect holler-along fashion here, encouraging lagered-up northerners of a particular musical bent to bellow 'til they're (mercifully) hoarse, but there's a tenderness to vocalist Matt Bowman's performance that has this critic wondering if he's previously given the Leeds outfit an overly raw deal.
You Me At Six – 'Gossip' (Slam Dunk)
"Enter Shikari? Enter Shit-ari, maaan, it's all about You Me At Six nowadays. Have you heard 'Gossip'? Right, y'know Funeral For A… yeah, those Welshies… well this is like that but, y'know, it's well better. It's like proper emo, with choruses and stuff, but it ain't gay like My Chemical rubbishy Romance. Like, there's no make-up and shit like that. My brother reckons this is way more like what he listened to in 2004, proper stuff. Like, when bands only had ten different t-shirt designs on their stalls."

E-Commerce Sales Far Higher for iOS Shoppers Versus Android
Customers using Apple devices to shop are making more than four times as many purchases as those using Google Android tablets and smartphones, according to new data from International Business Machines
In the run-up to this holiday season, retailers improved mobile platforms to draw in shoppers that increasingly turn to these devices to browse and buy. And the effort seems to have paid off, with an 83% increase in the number of purchases made on Thanksgiving, compared to a year earlier, according to online shopping data IBM collected from its clients. But the data suggests retailers are finding e-commerce platforms built for Apple iOS devices are delivering far more bang for the buck. "People who buy iPhones are slightly more affluent, and more likely to be tech savvy," said Jay Henderson, strategy director for IBM Smarter Commerce, which gathered the data from websites run by its customers. "They are more comfortable shopping online and buying online."
Despite the greater market share held by Android devices, purchases made on iOS devices made up almost 21% of all online sales Thanksgiving, compared to 4.6% for Android devices, according to IBM data. And when Android users did make purchases, they spent 14% less than iOS users, who spent $121.61 on average.
Mr. Henderson says that given these numbers, many retailers may choose to invest the lion's share of their resources optimizing for iOS devices. But some companies may drive to perfect Android-based e-commerce sites with the hope of grabbing a largely untapped customer base. "If you could get [Android users] buying, you're talking about a very big potential revenue stream," Mr. Henderson said.

The crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains seems to get snow at least once a year, but it's still a rare enough occurrence that I get excited about it. On Monday, I drove up to Skyline Blvd. and found picturesque winter scenes after 2-3 inches of snow fell at the higher elevations that morning. Here is a short video (3:12) of the snowy scenes:
I started at Russian Ridge Open Space and hiked up to Borel Hill and then did a loop of the ancient oaks trail, which was spectacular! I then continued to Long Ridge Open Space where a line of snow covered Douglas firs made a scene fit for a holiday greeting card. A bridge over Peters Creek was also nicely situated. Finally, I went to the highest section of Skyline Blvd. at Castle Rock State Park. I went up to 3,214 ft Castle Rock and then hiked over to Goat Rock for more great scenes. At the lowest point, the snow level in the Santa Cruz was at about 1,500 feet, but measurable accumulations were only found above 2,000 feet with progressively more snow at the highest elevations of Skyline Blvd. just over 3,000 feet.

30 Years Ago (May 6, 1982)
Mrs. Mike Wright was coming home from work Friday morning and around 1:30 a.m. at the Standard station, a man got out of a car and began waving a pistol. Fearing the worst, she tramped the accelerator hard and careened around the gun wielder. Deputy Sheriff Glenn Wheeler was called at 2:04 and William Dillenger was lodged at 3:45. He was charged with wanton endangerment in the 2nd degree and DUI. Released on a $1.00 unsecured bond.

On Saturday, January 19, 2013 our Lipscomb University track & field team got to experience God's hand in an up-front, in-your-face way. We were participating on the second day of a two-day indoor track meet at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn.
Our team is usually the last team to leave a meet. We do everything together as a team. We put a lot of emphasis on cheering on our 4x400 relay team which is always the last event. At the end of every meet we get together as a team to give praise for great performances and to pray. The meet at ETSU was no different.
As our team met we noticed a group of high school athletes and parents seated next to us in the stands. They were listening intently to what our head coach, Bill Taylor, was saying. They had been sitting next to our team throughout the day.
Coach Taylor finished talking with the team and asked if anyone else had anything to say. One of our athletes had praise for a teammate. Then an unexpected voice came from across the aisle.
"May I say something?" asked one of the mothers seated with the high school team.
She began to praise our team for how they acted during the meet and how they cheered for each other. She mentioned how refreshing and different our team was from other programs she had seen.
We learned that the high school team was from Florida. They had driven to Tennessee in a rental van. Their coach was somewhere in the dome frantically looking for a black Northface jacket he had lost. The rental van keys were in one of the jacket pockets. Several public address announcements had been made Saturday afternoon but had not resulted in the jacket being found. They had been looking for three hours and were losing hope of finding it.
We asked if we could pray about their lost keys.
One of our team captains, Adam Austin, gave thanks for the meet and also specifically asked that God would intervene and the jacket with the keys would be found.
Within 20 seconds of us finishing the prayer we heard the coach of the high school team shouting from the other side of the empty arena. He had no idea we were talking with his team or that we had just finished praying that his jacket and keys would be found.
"Found em!" he yelled.
He was in an area of the arena he had not been in the entire day, about 30 rows up in a random section of seats.
Our entire team looked at each other with wide eyes, the hair standing up on the back of our necks. We began cheering and praising God. The high school team was overjoyed and relieved. They too joined in praising God.
We have all been blessed by God revealing himself to us in thousands of ways. The problem is that in our sinful selves, 99.9% of the time, we don't realize it, see it, or give credit where credit is due.

Crossover tournament for the Bases and Events disciplines -- All matches will be Type-BE
Each Crossover Tournament is a double-elimination tournament featuring the combined rosters from two separate disciplines. Players are competing to earn Trophy Points for ranking within their respective Disciplines, and finishing in the Top 3 secures a spot in the Mastery Invitational at the end of the Season. Participants who have qualified to compete in both disciplines will be earning points for their ranking in both disciplines, and could potential earn invites to both invitationals in one fell swoop.

BGG - Star Realms Masters Series - Events Discipline - Season 1 Competition Thread
Upper Bracket:
In the opening round, and for all rounds within the winners bracket,
matches will be played in a best-of-three series. It is encouraged, but
not required, that players play the first two games simultaneously, and
then play the third if needed. It is also acceptable to start three
games all at once, even if the result ends in a 3-0 sweep.
Lower Bracket:
In all rounds of the losers bracket, matches will be played as single
games. This is designed to keep the lower bracket, which has more
rounds, on pace with the upper bracket.
Grand Final: When the winner of the upper bracket and winner of the lower bracket face off to determine first and second place, the match will be played as a best-of-five, with the winner from the upper bracket starting with a 1-0 advantage. This means that the upper bracket winner just needs to win two more games, while the lower bracket winner will need to win three games. This is an alternative to a two-part final.

by J.B.Gerald, nightslantern.ca, Feb 10, 2010
The "Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide" stresses the prevention of genocide more than prescribing its exact manner of punishment. Genocide does not have to be committed for the Convention to have effect. By defining "genocide" it seeks to avert agendas which will confirm the crime. Physical manifestations of genocide are preceded by psychological preparation and the resulting psychological damage to entire victim groups. There is no way not to apply this awareness to current pressures on Islamic communities in North America, so this is an obvious and rather late notation of a genocide warning for Islamic peoples in the U.S. (see also Canada), late, in that one could sense the program over twenty years ago without knowing the scope of its intentions. The threat of whole or partial destruction of this religious group is exacerbated by Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, bombing of civilian Lebanon, invasion of Gaza, which placed essentially Islamic civilian populations without human value, in a manner politically acceptable to U.S. and Canadian governments.

Victoria woman wins lawsuit after mistake had prepared her to die
Herlinda Garcia was taken aback when her Victoria doctor diagnosed her with Stage IV terminal breast cancer.
Facing the inevitable in 2009, the mother of four gave away her belongings, arranged for a hospice worker to care for her at home, and even made out a bucket list.
Garcia underwent seven months of chemotherapy treatment and was placed on anxiety medications to help cope with the stress of the ordeal.
But there was a major hitch: Her doctor had misread the lab results. She was cancer-free and didn't need to undergo the painful treatment after all.
A Victoria County jury agreed last week, awarding Garcia $367,500 in damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor, the late Ahmad I. Qadri.
State District Judge Skipper Koetter is expected to lower the award to comply with state law, which limits liability to $250,000 per claim.
Qadri died in March of this year and the damages were awarded from his estate.
But no amount of money, she said, "is ever going to cover what I went through. Before (the diagnosis), I was always dressing up, wearing jewelry. When something like that (mistake) happens, your self-esteem is not there. Now I'm working on getting it back."
In 2009, Garcia underwent surgery to remove a benign tumor from her left breast.
So when Qadri, an oncologist, diagnosed her with cancer about a month later, the news wasn't a total shock.
It turns out that Qadri misread a PET/CT scan during one of her first visits. He incorrectly thought she had enlarged lymph nodes.
The diagnosis "was like a mourning process - mourning for myself," said Garcia, 54, a part-time civil process worker with the state. "I just lost my dad three years before, and I felt like I was mourning for my family."
In 2011, Garcia was admitted to Citizens Medical Center for treatment of anxiety, and doctors performed some scans because she was a cancer patient.
One physician suspected that was an incorrect diagnosis, a hunch confirmed by subsequent testing at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Garcia said.
An evaluation at M.D. Anderson "confirmed that Ms. Garcia had been cancer free since the April 2009 mastectomy and that all of Dr. Qadri's treatment had been unnecessary," according to the suit.
"When I first heard the news at M.D. Anderson and was told that 'you don't have it,' I was happy because I was blessed … because my faith is very strong," she said. "At the same time I was angry because all this damage had been done.
"I don't hate him (Qadri) but I feel that the patient trusts the doctor, and they need to take that extra effort to read things a little closer so a mistake like this isn't made."

byronkanga needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Kanga Games http://www.kangagames.com
We're a board-game and card-game publishing company in Asia. We manufacture fun games for kids and families. They all have a fun, humorous, cartoon style!
Our target audience are kids, families, teenagers and young adults who are into playing these fun, yet challenging games.
We are publishing a game called "Loot" which is a card game about pirates attacking merchant ships and stealing their loot (gold). We already have the artwork for the game, but we need 6 more cards designed. These 6 cards will make 3 "Treasure Islands" that pirate ships can visit during the game.
Each card needs to have the following:
* 1 side shows half an island covered in mist (IMPORTANT: ALL 6 CARDS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PICTURE ON THIS SIDE!)
* The other side shows half the island in clear detail (The mist is gone) and showing the treasure. Each card can be quite different on this side. Also, each cards shows a different VALUE of treasure.
So basically we need 7 tiny pictures, most of which look almost identical! EASY!
We need the cards to match the same style artwork of the original game (which I have attached), and the same color scheme.
Please use InDesign because the original artwork was also done on InDesign.
I have attached 2 PDF files showing the basic idea of what we need, and the rules (if you want to know them).
I have also attached A LOT of the original artwork so you can match the colors and the styles.
If you need anything else, please ask me!
