Plot Summary
On planet Earth, in Galaxy Garrison, Commodore Steele holds a meeting. He is informed that Princess Allura is holding a meeting of the leaders of several worlds in the Denubian Galaxy. Galaxy Garrison has its hands full, as King Zarkon's campaign is just one campaign in a larger war between the Galaxy Alliance and the Drule Empire. Steele mentions that Zarkon is an outlaw of the Drule Empire. An officer suggests sending a support fleet, but Steele decides that they should wait to see if the powers of that galaxy can resist Zarkon.
In the Castle of Lions, Allura presides over a meeting. Prince Bandor of Pollux, Abito Han of planet Yadil, Keith of the Voltron Force, and other leaders attend. The meeting is about King Zarkon and Planet Doom. They swear to present a coordinated, united front.
That evening, Coran and the Voltron Force watch the screen, showing the royal capital with its lights on. While the people of the capital feel secure, Keith does not. Coran mentions that with so many leaders on Arus, Zarkon would be tempted to strike. Hunk suggests attacking Zarkon like he did before The Sincerest Form of Flattery, but Lance says that they are a defense force. Coran says he promised King Alfor to protect Allura, and volunteers to be part of the Voltron Force. Keith objects, saying Coran is needed at castle control. Hunk says they can train a substitute. Keith looks out the window silently. Coran is worried about what will happen to Allura. Keith says they will move with the total might of Voltron once they know Zarkon's next move.
Meanwhile, in a base of the Drule Empire, Marshall Keezor holds a meeting. He tells his officers that Zarkon had requested support troops, and one of them suggests they deny the request.
But Zarkon is determined to press the attack, without support from Planet Drule. He had sent robot fakes of the Olion ambassador to Arus, and had the robots "killed" to intimidate the leaders meeting on Arus. Lotor asks to negotiate with Allura. Haggar has a plan to sabotage Voltron.
The Voltron Force meet in the desert near Yellow lion's lair. Keith says they should search for Zarkon's forces. As they leave, Keith asks Allura to wait. He tells her the people of Arus rely on her, and he says the people think that she should not risk her life and that she has greater responsibilities than Keith has. He asks her to think. The princess replies that being part of Voltron is the most important thing. Keith tells her they want her and need her. She runs off to the Black lion.
But Black Lion is inoperative. Allura tries to make Black Lion move. Suddenly, the lion runs into a cliff. She presses some buttons, and the lion runs into another cliff. Allura has a nightmare about Voltron being grabbed with a pair of giant hands and her falling. She sees an image of her father King Alfor and a voice tells her to run for Lotor is coming. Allura runs to a waterfall, and then runs along a dirt road.
She then sees Lotor at the top of an embankment. She aims her pistol at him. Lotor offers a chance for her to be his queen. She fires at him, and the prince dodges her shots and grabs her arm. He tells her this is her last chance to free her people by coming with him. She tells him that she will never surrender her people or herself to him. Then Keith arrives, telling the prince to let her go. he tells Allura to run back to the castle. Keith and Lotor fight, and Lotor cuts him down with a glowing sword. Haggar's cat Cova blocks Allura's path, and Keith shoots at Cova. Allura notices a gash on his chest. he helps him back to the castle.
In Castle Doom, Lotor informs his father that Keith is down, and that now is the time to strike.
Keith is in the bed in the castle's infirmary, a bandage on his chest. The doctor had said it was laser shock, but Lance points out it is like saying that it is just an earthquake. Just then Lotor arrives, and deploys a Robeast. It fires at the castle. Allura runs out and deploys Black Lion and attacks the Robeast. It strikes Black Lion down. Bandor goes into the infirmary and offers to fly in Keith's stead. Keith gets up and says they will all go and form Voltron.
Allura sees something hit the Robeast, and then she sees the other four lions. Keith, flying in Blue lion, tells Allura to get ready to form Voltron. They fly up into the air and form Voltron, with Allura forming the head. Voltron throws a spinning laser blade and fires stingray missiles at the Robeast, and they miss. It fires an electro-force cross, and the Robeast bounces it back, striking the mighty robot. The Robeast knocks Voltron to the ground, lands on it, and then grabs its neck. Allura figures out the computer control for the Robeast is in its head, and Voltron fires needles from its own head, striking the Robeast's head. The Robeast staggers, and Voltron forms the blazing sword. It quickly slices apart the Robeast.
Later, the Voltron Force meets with the world leaders.

Notes and Goofs
- This is the first time Drule Empire officials appear in the lion series.
- This could have been an opportunity for Allura to fly Black Lion with Sven flying Blue Lion, had Sven escorted Bandor to Arus. (Of course, the original source material explains a lot.)
- This does beg related questions. It was at least two weeks, if not more, since Sven was transferred to Pollux. Why did not Keith not take the time to train a substitute? Better yet, why did not Galaxy Garrison send a substitute after transferring Sven?

Blocked by GOP, Liu gives up on federal judgeship
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, May 25, 2011
(05-25) 18:01 PDT BERKELEY -- Goodwin Liu, the UC Berkeley law professor whose candidacy for the federal appeals court in San Francisco was derailed by Senate Republicans last week, asked President Obama to withdraw his nomination Wednesday.
In a letter released by the university, Liu, 40, said his nomination has been "a source of tremendous pride for my family and community," but that he now sees no possibility of a confirmation vote.
"My family and I have decided that it is time for us to regain the ability to make plans for the future," Liu said. He added that the Judicial Council of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declared a "desperate need for judges" to fill vacancies, "and it is now clear that continuing my nomination will not address that need any time soon."
Liu, nominated to the Ninth Circuit appeals bench in February 2010, is a former Rhodes Scholar and Supreme Court clerk who was given the highest rating by the American Bar Association. A son of Taiwanese immigrants, he would have been the only judge of Asian descent on the nation's largest federal appeals court, which covers California and eight other Western states.
Liu was also the chairman of the liberal American Constitution Society and has written in support of same-sex marriage and affirmative action.
He opposed President George W. Bush's Supreme Court nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and particularly angered Republicans with his 2006 testimony that drew a bleak and repressive portrait of Alito's "vision of America."
Republicans portrayed Liu as an ideologue whose legal essays advocating congressional recognition of rights to education and health care showed he would tilt an already liberal appeals court further to the left.
He won party-line votes at three Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, but Republicans blocked a Senate confirmation vote with a filibuster, the first used successfully against an Obama judicial nominee. Last Thursday's vote to cut off debate was 52-43, eight short of the needed super-majority, with only one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joining the Democrats.
Asian American groups that led Liu's support campaign mourned his withdrawal.
Republicans distorted Liu's words and embraced the filibusters they "sorrowfully, and loudly, bemoaned during the previous administration," said Tina Matsuoka, executive director of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association.
She also criticized Democratic leaders for not bringing the nomination to a vote last year, when they had a stronger Senate majority.

The EyeToy itself is a relatively straightforward device: by plugging it into one of the USB ports on the PS2, you can capture an image of yourself and display it on the screen. However, you can't simply plug in the camera and get a decent picture without first establishing some settings primarily in your gaming environment. The EyeToy performs best within a well lit environment, and displays a red light if it cannot receive enough ambient light to track your movements. This actually is crucial to successfully playing certain games, as the camera will have different levels of responsiveness depending on how well it can "see" you. Apart from this, the camera has easily adjustable focus settings to get a relatively sharp picture, which is very helpful when it comes to playing the included games or using the extended features.
Play 2 has a number of creative uses for the camera. You can record a length of video and play it back with the video messaging feature. By using the Cameo mask feature, you can capture a 3D model of your head which can be used in a number of create a player modes in various games. The new inclusion for this game is the SpyToy mode, which allows someone to set the game up to be a virtual security camera, taking pictures every couple of seconds when it detects motion or hears a sound in the room. It can also set off an alarm if it detects activity directly in front of the camera, and all of the images taken can be accessed at a later time to check on your "security". Definitely useful for older kids looking to keep their younger siblings out of their stuff, or college kids that don't trust their roommates, but otherwise, most gamers probably won't mess around with it too much.
Apart from this, there are a number of visual sandbox diversions in the playroom, such as creating color by moving your arms, playing pool on a table and creating other graphical effects. However, the primary thrust of Play 2 lies in the twelve new games, each of which have multiple stages. Unlike the previous Play title where you could stand still and simply move your arms, Play 2 engages much more of your entire body to play the games this time, forcing a larger physical commitment from the player. For instance, Homerun requires a player to swing at a ball pitched at them, and then actually pump their arms and legs to run the base paths. Similarly, mini-stages in Goal Attack and in the Multiplayer "Runnin'" game require the same physical investment. It's actually possible to find yourself getting tired as you jump and run through each stage, which is potentially an indicator of the progression of the EyeToy franchise (especially with the exercise fueled Kinetic on the horizon )
The inclusion of the various stages and bonus rounds gives each game a larger sense of being fleshed out. For instance, the DIY game has you performing a number of household tasks, such as hammering nails in straight, knocking branches into wood chippers and cutting patterns into wood. The fact that you'll be able to access virtually any stage from the twelve games in multiplayer mode provides some longevity to the title, and there's something to be said about having to come up with different things to do in each game.
However, players will notice that there is a large amount of repetition that does wind up setting in, which can sap the fun out of Play 2. For instance, there's only so many times that you can grab objects and avoid spotlights in Secret Agent or pop bubbles in Bubblepop before you start looking for some other form of entertainment. This is also compounded by some of the tweaks performed to make Play 2 more interactive. The frame that is established for players to work in will often shift onscreen from stage to stage, and if you're off somewhat, it can throw off your performance significantly on that level. This is especially true on games like Mr. Chef, which looks for a new place for the player on every single mission. This can be extremely infuriating, and might make some gamers hate certain stages of Play 2.
Play 2 has a cartoon influenced style with its supporting graphics, which are primarily used to support the main star of the game, which is the player. Engaging without being overly cutesy, the animation is quite smooth. In fact, the only hiccup that you might find will come from frames that drop out if your camera doesn't have enough light to accurately capture your movements. Accessing menu options is a lot smoother and easier, although load times between mini-games could be much better. Music and sound effects are decent, although you'll notice that these effects in games like Drummin' and Air Guitar are enhanced based on your timing with the virtual instruments.
Overall, Play 2 is a vast improvement on the EyeToy formula, and an engaging diversion for a short while. A strong experience for multiple players, this would be a perfect title for families or parties, although you might find yourself bored with the repetition and frustrated with some of the technical issues you'll inevitably run into. However, if you've been looking at picking up an EyeToy or been interested in another title that uses your camera, this isn't a bad way to go. Rating: 77% Written By: Jeff Haynes Game Over Online - http://www.game-over.com
In most situations, jumping up and down while waving your arms frantically might make observers question your sanity (or at least stare at you quizzically). However, if you happen to be playing one of the games in Sony's EyeToy franchise, you may just find these onlookers joining you. Built on the premise of placing the player literally into the game as a character, and supporting this with a number of diversionary mini-games, the USB camera is one of the peripherals that have redefined the concept of interactivity. The latest entry in the series, EyeToy: Play 2, seeks to push this boundary even further, adding a number of new games, multiplayer modes and features in the process.
Overall, Play 2 is a vast improvement on the EyeToy formula, and an engaging diversion for a short while. A strong experience for multiple players, this would be a perfect title for families or parties, although you might find yourself bored with the repetition and frustrated with some of the technical issues you'll inevitably run into. However, if you've been looking at picking up an EyeToy or been interested in another title that uses your camera, this isn't a bad way to go.

In the military commissions prosecution of the Canadian child warrior Omar Khadr, the United States charges murder and attempted murder in violation of the laws of war, in connection with an incident in which a grenade was hurled at American soldiers, leaving one dead and injuring several others. The theory underlying this charge is that Khadr was not a member of any lawful armed force, and his throwing a grenade was an unprivileged act of homicide or attempted homicide. It's uncontroversial that throwing a grenade with the intention of killing others is a criminal act that can be charged as homicide or attempted homicide unless it's a privileged act. However, there is a strong opinion among law-of-war scholars to the effect that it is not a violation of the laws of war, but rather a violation of the criminal law of the nation where the incident occurred. Thus, the Khadr prosecution rests on a faulty or eccentric legal position. Now the Vancouver Sun has disclosed that senior lawyers inside the Obama Administration fully recognized that the prosecution of Khadr rested on a false legal premise and attempted to stop and change the prosecution, apparently without success.
Officials in the Obama administration demanded a game-changing rule change for the Guantanamo Bay military tribunal that would have likely scuttled the war crimes murder charge against Canadian-born terror suspect Omar Khadr,
Canwest News Service has learned. The officials sought to strip a new commissions manual of a law-of-war murder definition that is central to Khadr's prosecution in the mortal wounding of Special Forces Sgt. First Class Chris Speer during a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan, insiders say. Omission of the segment could have also obliged prosecutors to trim or abandon "up to one-third" of its cases, according to one inside estimate. Prosecutors said in the wake of the Bush administration they were prepared to take about 60 Guantanamo detainees to trial – among them the accused co-conspirators of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
The Sun notes that the dispute erupted between lawyers at the State and Defense Departments, with the nation's senior international law officer, Legal Adviser Harold Koh, arguing that the provision should be dropped, while the senior Defense Department lawyer, Jeh Johnson, supported the provision.
I recently discussed Koh's attempt to justify the use of drones for targeted killings. I noted that Koh had failed to address an obvious legal issue—that the drones were being operated by civilian contractors, not uniformed military personnel who are privileged to used lethal force under the law of war. The drone warfare raises the same issue that the Khadr prosecution does: if the operators of these systems are not privileged to use lethal force, are they committing a crime under the law of war when they do so? The language adopted in the manual for military commissions argues that they are, but the position taken by the State Department to justify the use of drones assumes the opposite. These positions are difficult to reconcile.
Does this mean that the prosecution of Omar Khadr for homicide as a violation of the law of war could boomerang on the United States? It's clear than some of the Obama Administration's best legal minds are concerned about precisely that. And it's clear that the posture taken in the prosecution of Khadr presents a troubling precedent for civilian contractors, not just those who operate the drones. It is not likely, of course, that the United States will ever charge any of its contractors with "homicide under the law of war" for the use of lethal force in a conflict setting, but the prosecution of Khadr opens the door for others to do so.
The Sun report only serves to highlight the shortcomings of the process of setting the military commission rules. The Gates Pentagon prepared the manual for the military commissions completely behind closed doors. It disregarded established procedures under which proposed procedural rules are disclosed for public comment and the views of the military bar itself are explicitly solicited. We now see that it turned to secrecy because it had something to hide: the rules were recognized as flawed and weak even within the Obama Administration, where they were subjected to appropriately sharp criticism. Had they been publicly aired, the Pentagon would have been forced to work out the contradictions in them. But it opted to keep the country and the bar in the dark.
The Obama Administration owes the country a clear explanation of its legal policy positions with respect to law-of-war issues. What it has served up instead is a series of half-baked and unresolved controversies that undermine confidence in the military justice system. Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which the Supreme Court has held to be binding on the military commissions, says they must be a "regularly constituted court." But at every turn, the Pentagon has taken shortcuts that compromise the credibility of these tribunals.

The International Karakoram Project: Volume 1 First published in 1984, this volume and its companion relate to the work of a group of 70 scientists from Britain, China, Pakistan, Switzerland and the USA who visited the highest mountains in the world during the summer of 1980 to conduct a series of inter-related studies. Supported by the leading learned societies and professional institutions in Britain, China and Pakistan, and by government agencies in these countries, the International Karakoram Project was an expedition that fused several individual topics in the earth sciences into a unified and single study of the world's most chaotic, unstable landform. The whole project was promoted as the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Geographical Society. This volume details many of the techniques, systems, instrumentation and methods of analysis used on the Project, whilst Volume 2 concentrates on the results obtained by the scientists during the course of the Project.

There have been a lot of things that have been released this year celebrating the history of Yankee Stadium. I have found the mother of them all. It's a book by renowned baseball author Harvey Frommer. It's titled "Remembering Yankee Stadium: An Oral and Narrative History Of The House That Ruth Built." As I said, this is the mother of all "look backs." I already have the official retrospective that was released earlier this year and it doesn't hold a candle to this book. I could tell that as soon as I cracked open the binder for the first time. Before you even get to the title page, you're treated to some beautiful photos that encapsulate the history of the Stadium. And they're truly beautiful photos. They're beauty is aided by the book being more wide than it is tall. It allows for stunning 2-page panoramic shots that you don't see in books that are of the normal size/shape. And these photos aren't just contained to the opening pages. They're sprinkled in all throughout the book. Like the Stadium itself, you just can't beat how it was put together.
Each of the book's chapters represent a different decade of the Stadium's life. The book could get by on Mr. Frommer's writing alone. He beautifully details the history of the grand 'ol ballpark and I found myself reading every word rather than skimming through paragraphs or flipping ahead to a subject I find more interesting. Yeah, I'm one of those readers. But I haven't been with this book. But there is more to the book that the writings of the author. The book really comes alive with the countless first person narratives that are intertwined with the writings of the author. If I counted correctly, there were 92 different people whose memories are recounted in the book. They range from some Yankee legends (like Bobby Murcer, Whitey Ford and Phil Rizzuto), to Hall Of Famers (like Rollie Fingers, Brooks Robinson, and Paul Molitor), to politicians (like Rudy Giuliani, Mario Cuomo, and Michael Dukakis, to your every day run-of-the-mill Yankee fans. Like the photos, they're perfectly placed and it's just another reason why the book is a classic.
But wait, there's more. The best part is saved for last. The last section of the book is called "Stadiumology." It tells you little facts about the Yankees and the Stadium. The crown jewel of the section is when it breaks things down "by the numbers." It has little facts that go with numbers. Take the number 24 for example. In 1927, 24 of Lou Gehrig's 47 HRs were hit in Yankee Stadium. The number 413 represents the smallest ever attendance for a home game. I could go on but you catch my drift. This little section is the cherry on top of this awesome sundae.
If you're a die hard Yankee fan like me, you should seriously consider picking up a copy of this book. The pictures alone are worth the price of admission. The book invokes a lot of memories. It made me feel like I was walking back into the Stadium for the very first time. I could smell the grass. I could see the giant interlocking NY painted behind home plate. I could hear the sounds. I could smell the food. I could see baseball being played at Yankee Stadium. It's the crown jewel of all Yankee Stadium retrospectives. If there were a Monument Park for books, this would be featured amongst the legends.
Peace, love and Pinstripes,

In order to bypass this security mechanism, SQL code has to be injected on to the input fields. However a security mechanism employed on the web page restricts from putting any special characters on the input. One of the easiest method bypass this security mechanism is to craft the POST requests, bypassing the client side security.

Research carried out at Buckinghamshire New University's Human Performance Lab, led by Dr. Maria Konstantaki (Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology), showed that getbuzzing bar enhances endurance performance. The testing involved ten athletes (five international rugby players, three profesional triathletes and two recreational athletes) performing a VO2 max test under two conditions (without, and 1 hour after consuming, a getbuzzing bar). Results showed that endurance performance (time to exhaustion) increased by an average of 25 seconds and perception of effort was lower following consumption of The getbuzzing bar. These results indicate that The getbuzzing flapjack bar is effective in giving athletes and exercisers an 'edge' while providing great nutrition without additives. -Fast and Slow Releasing Energy -Sustains Blood Sugar Levels -Used by Professional Sportsmen and Women -A Great Source of Fibre -Low in Saturated Fat -Used as a healthy snack as well as before, during and after training -Scientifically tested to prove that each bar provides long lasting energy Ingredients Banana Oats, Dried Banana (24%) [dried banana, riceflour], Golden Syrup, Sugar, Butter, Honey, Apricots (5%) (apricots, rice flour) Berry Oats, Sugar, Agave Nectar, Butter , Honey, Freeze Dried Blueberries (1%), Freeze Dried Raspberries (1%), Freeze Dried Strawberries (1%), Natural Flavourings Original Oats, Honey, Apricots (apricots, rice flour), Golden Syrup, Dates (7%) (dates, rice flour), Sunflower Seeds (7%),Butter, Infused Cranberries (cranberries, sugar, natural flavours, acidity regulator (citric acid), sunflower oil, colouring (elderberry juice concentrate)),Pumpkin Seeds(4%) Wowbutter Oats, Wowbutter Soya Spread (22%)(soya, soya oil, sugar, emulsifier: monoglyceride (from palm oil), salt), Honey, Butter

The cost of a year's car insurance has plummeted by a record 3 per cent over the past three months to £594.86. That's the lowest annual premium since January 2011.
There's also good news for homeowners in the latest AA Insurance Index published today – buildings cover fell 2.6 per cent over the quarter to £130.45 while a typical contents policy fell by 2.1 per cent to £70.72. The average combined buildings and contents policy fell 2.5 per cent to £175.78.
What's going on? Why is insurance getting cheaper? Car cover is down as measures to combat fraud and spurious whiplash injury claims take effect, according to Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance.
"The news that hundreds of rogue 'no-win no-fee' claims firms have been reined in is welcome and, in part, falling insurance premiums reflect that," he said.
"I hope that Britain's shameful reputation as being the 'whiplash claim capital of Europe' will now be put behind us."
But he warned that home cover could yet rise again following the recent landmark agreement between the Government and the insurance industry on insuring flood-prone homes. The move could add £10 to the typical policy.
"Claims will be met from insurers and from a 'flood reinsurance pool', which has yet to be funded. The Government is unlikely to underwrite the scheme [as happens in other European countries] so it seems likely that a levy of around £10 could be added to every home insurance policy."

I'm very aware of the fact I need to bulk, but I have this constant mental hinderance that I am getting fat, and I need to have a "setpoint" where I can tell when the fat starts adding up to too much. I'm in this for the longhaul, so I feel a 10-12 week cut won't set me back much. See how it goes, I'm going to be tracking calories and sticking to the intermittent fasting regime. Doing reverse pyramid training (squats/deads/bench) and bodyweight exercises 3x a week.
In other news, my bench plateau seems to be gone after a week long rest... I did 4 warmup sets yesterday, and then got 8 solid reps of 160 lbs... Most I could do before was struggling to get 5. New PR 1rm for 200 lbs.
Taking pics every two weeks btw, I'll collage them together. Interested to see what happens
Congrats on breaking that plateau man!

Good deal. I can't read the article, but a convention center, hotel, and parking garage are included in phase 1. The shops and bars will hopefully be added in the future, but no real timetable has been set at this point.
of Groundhog's Day, the movie...
Big, big deal. For so many reasons I can't even begin to count.
I'll believe it when I see a shovel hit the ground.
It's a new developer with a new plan. There will be no shops and bars with this developer. All he's doing is renovating the Cooley building, and building the hotel and parking. The rest of the land will be sold off in parcels so it will be a crap development compared to the former proposal. I figure it will just be chain restaurants going up on some of the most valuable and critical land in Starkville. I hate to see that because they had a real opportunity to do something special with that property but looks like it will be your typical suburbia development.
I was hoping they would give Russell Street a Main Street/Boulevard type feel by shrinking the lanes, bringing storefronts up to the street(commercial below and lofts above), adding street trees, bike lanes leading to campus and on-street parking and creating a real entrance to MSU. Oh well that's wishful thinking.
Digging that close to campus makes me nervous, burial grounds and such. Maybe there's some different tribe out there that would be pro instead of anti MSU sports
The poster formerly known as: dawgebag
You have no idea what you're talking about. I would suggest you check your facts first before spouting off at the mouth. The property along Russell Street is located in a T-5 or T-6, Transect District...buildings in the front, parking in the rear, etc. Here's a link to the Starkville Zoning Ordinance along with a color coded map that maybe you can understand - http://library.municode.com/HTML/146...VIIDIRE_STTRDI. You should also be aware that MDOT/The City of Starkville has plans to dramatically change the Russell Street/Highway 12 intersection along with 2-laning Russell Street, sidewalks, a pedestrian path from Russell to Campus, etc.
haha you really set me straight didn't you now? FYI, I may or may not be a land planner, so I don't have to have a color map to help me understand, but it's nice of you to point that out for me. I wasn't aware that Starkville had implemented form based codes. Great, I'm proud of Starkville. I live out of town now, but follow pretty closely through twitter and the local newspaper websites. Everything that I have read, stated what I wrote in my previous post. I do apologize for stating falsehoods if I did, though. Glad to see Starkville has finally taken the initiative to improve the aesthetics and quality of life of the community.
I was aware that Starkville had hired Placemakers to do a study for the Russell Street/12 intersection several years ago. I was also excited with their recommendations to basically add a frontage road on both sides of 12, remove the median, add sidewalks and crosswalks, and bring the future building fronts up to the street to create a really nice entrance to MSU. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought that proposal had died do to lack of funding. Am I wrong about that? When does construction start?
Nice backtracking Mr. Land Planner. Google is free, try it. If you knew about the Placemakers Study, why didn't you mention it? Or the Charette that was performed for the city? I know why, because you were too busy bad mouthing the situation and the developer who is trying to turn an eyesore into something Starkville and MSU can be proud of. If you want to know more about the proposed Highway 12/Russell Street intersection, try calling Mike Tagert, North Mississippi Transportation Commissioner.
First, I'm not backtracking. I simply apologized for making a false statement if I indeed made one. That's called being a man.
Secondly, Mr. Castleberry, I was actually involved in the charrette for the city, because I was a citizen of Starkville at the time. I have also mentioned the Placemakers study on this forum several times before. I didn't mention the Placemakers study on this occasion because I thought the proposal was dead and you still haven't proven to me that it's alive. Telling me to call someone else means you don't know shit.
Lastly, I hope you get it built and do it the right way, not the easy way. I've seen your other developments. Prove me wrong.
I'm not Mark Castleberry, but thanks, I guess. And I don't have to prove you wrong, time will.

Can you provide more information on what the delrin material gives in this application?
Printable View
I'm sure others will chime in on this too. Outside full blown solid mounts the Delrin material is way harder than the rubber inserts that came stock, so the cradle has less deflection under load. Delrin also lasts longer vs. urethane.
GM originally came up with their own version years back to help fix wheel hop but it didn't really change that much and if they weren't greased they would squeak.
These inserts basically take up the voids in the cradle mounting points and make it more ridgid. Naturally the downside is more road/driveline noise but it was worth it to me. I've had my set in for a few years and they still look new. I can't say much about the wheel hop but the rear of the car definitely feels more planted.
There should be some threads with pictures and more info around on these as I didn't design them. I'm just having someone remake them again since they are no longer available
Definitely interested.
Is CF erasing threads now? I wanted to post a link to my thread but most of my posts/threads are gone.
Anyways, I always support cradle bushing. Next to the Maggie they probably made the biggest difference in how my car feels. And makes it MUCH more fun to drive. She handles better with them and gives you more confidence in corners. Wheel-hop is a non-issue for me.
They did introduce some rear end whine, but higher weight gear oil quieted that down. At interstate speeds, 65+, the diff is quiet.
Now to make a 06-07 version...
add me to this order...asked around, this is a good upgrade.
Did some digging on this...
Seems like GM made changes to the 06/07's to help out the wheel hop and as a result the bushings weren't going to make much of a difference.
So basically no one ever addressed it.

Sir: Niall Ferguson's self-confessed conservative educational ideals seem to have led to a lack of desire to question conventionality in universities; a fault surely unacceptable from academics, especially self-styled superior ones from hallowed Oxbridge.
Government funding for the rapidly increasing higher education system has been appalling, and this is felt particularly strongly in many new universities, where there is a desperate lack of facilities in many departments. This has resulted in a frustrated staff and student body forced to get by with poorly stocked libraries and increasing staff/student ratios. These are serious problems worthy of serious consideration and should not be ridiculed by calling new universities "Disneyland" institutions offering "Mickey Mouse degrees".
And is it so unreasonable that students, with their increasing financial contribution to their education, should demand courses that interest them? Is not media studies a form of textual analysis, like many other traditional degrees? And how much does Mr Ferguson know about the subject anyway? I can only assume very little, by his belief that he would be qualified to teach it by writing a newspaper column.

The Forest Service budget is made up of many different pots of money, each with its own narrow purpose. These budget "silos" can be a barrier to accomplishing effective forest restoration. By combining existing funds into a single pot for restoration, Integrated Resource Restoration aims to achieve better restoration results on the ground.
What is the Integrated Resource Restoration budget?
The pilot program began in 2012 in forests along the Rocky Mountains. Existing pots of money for timber, watershed, wildlife, roads and hazardous fuels are combined into a single restoration pot. This budget serves many different uses but, according to direction given by Congress, restoration is the primary goal.
Why is Integrated Resource Restoration important?
Budget demands largely determine the Forest Service's work. Ideally, creating a restoration-focused budget will direct attention on restoration and bring together staff from different disciplines to collaboratively design and implement projects that better protect our forests from water pollution, invasive species, climate change and other threats.
Looking ahead
The Forest Service estimates it will take at least three years before we begin to see the program's full impacts. Success is not guaranteed, but The Wilderness Society works with the Forest Service to help ensure the program delivers on its promises.

Together with the physicians of Lawrence Eye Care Associates, Lawrence Memorial Hospital is an exclusive provider of laser-assisted cataract surgery for Lawrence and surrounding communities. Using the FDA-approved LenSx® laser system, board-certified ophthalmologists perform bladeless cataract removal surgery that offers many benefits over traditional cataract surgery.
Eye surgeons around the world have been using the LenSx system to treat myopia (nearsightedness) since 2001. Now, LMH offers this advanced technology to deliver the same level of precision and safety for patients with cataracts.
Every eye has a different size, depth and curvature. Our LenSx laser system provides high-resolution, 3D images of the eye, empowering surgeons to map and customize each patient's surgical plan with greater accuracy than ever before. Throughout the procedure, surgeons use the same continuous high-res visualization technology to guide the process and ensure properly shaped and custom-centered incisions.
With advanced accuracy that only computer-controlled technology can provide, the laser creates incisions with specific location, depth and length – no hand-held blades required. Researchers estimate that laser-assisted incisions are 12 times more precise than traditional surgery methods , and laser-assisted incisions cause less stress to eye tissues surrounding the incision, resulting in faster recovery.
Unlike traditional surgery, laser-assisted procedures soften the cataract as it breaks it up, resulting in smaller, softer pieces that require less ultrasound energy for removal. Less energy means less heat build-up in the incision, resulting in:
Our advanced laser system can also correct astigmatism during cataract surgery with no open cuts on the surface of the eye. Using the same high-res 3D imaging technology, surgeons pre-plan laser incisions on the cornea to give it a rounder shape, reducing astigmatism and increasing the likelihood that patients won't need glasses after surgery.
Precise vision starts with precise technology. Our laser-assisted cataract surgery system brings custom, image-guided, computer precision to you. To schedule an appointment, call 785-841-2280.
Call 785-841-2280 for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Choose a provider who chooses LMH, where technology matters.

I can't decide...I can't decide....
I have a choice: house or apartment?
House comes with the possibility of a big, happy dog, like a Cane Corso or a lurcher or a big ol' Anatolian (my favorite breed, next to Greyhounds, which of course I'd have one of as well) and a place to plant herbs.
Apartment comes with less responsibility, free weight room, pool, somebody else to do the maintenance. But I can't paint, I can't plant herbs, and I certainly couldn't have a Molosser.
House I could do things to. Apartment I wouldn't have to.
House I could play around with. Apartment I couldn't...but there'd be somebody there to fix the faucets.
The thing that's swaying me is the dog issue. It's been *so* long since I had a dog.

A dog for the win!
You already go to the gym, so a dog would merely give you extra play time to go for walks, play fetch, and so forth. And a dog is wonderful for health and stress levels and such, right?
And a garden... there's not much better than seeing those first bulbs come up in spring, or eating something yummy you've helped grow (though you should wash it in case your dog "helped" too). - 8:56 PM

Dog, dog, dog dog dog!!!!! Get the house!
Recently, I have become acquainted with a standard Poodle/Black Lab mix, and a French Mastiff. The latter is smaller than an English mastiff, but same temperament. The former (lab/poodle) has a poodle head and prehensile toes, and a lab personality.

Well, I would dearly love a cat but my apartments don't allow pets. BUT....I still say get the apartament! My apartment is so cool because of the reasons you said--you literally don't have to do anything to it beyond move into it and decorate it---and there's less bills to pay. I hired a cleaning lady and viola---all my free time is virtually for hobbies and relaxation. (And for the little "gardening" that I want to do, my balcony is enough space---yet no yard work beyond watering the potted plants.)
- #1 Dinosaur said...
Unless you're in a really bad real estate market, and/or you leverage everything to buy way more house than you can really afford, "house" is almost always a better idea than "apartment."
Besides, you can have a dog. Don't you like dogs?
*stoopid grin* - 2:25 PM
after 33 years of home ownership, the past 11 as a single woman, i say go for the apartment! i'm beginning to think home ownership is a crock. by the time you pay the taxes, repairs, upkeep and all that la-ti-da stuff i really don't think you come out ahead, even w/ the tax write off! and the time saved by calling someone else to fix and pay for the repairs.......priceless!
on the other hand if having a dog is a HUGE priority........go for the house! - 8:04 PM

Bird Cage Awls
Bird cage awls are wonderful hand tools that seldom get the airplay they deserve and thats probably because they are not widely known. This tool has the uncanny ability to bore small holes in thin wood without splitting it
a trait prized by bird cage makers in centuries past. The small holes were made in the cross pieces to accommodate reeds or bars which formed the enclosure of the cage. Or so Ive been told. Ive seen catalogues from the late 19th century that had bird cage awls included with other use specific awls on their pages, so I suppose that gives some credence to their origin and purpose.
Today bird cage awls probably are not used too much in the construction of their namesake as those chores have been taken over by robotic welders to form cages of steel, not wood. However, they still excel at marking holes and boring them. The pyramid shape of the point on the square blade produces sharp edges that shear the wood fibers cleanly creating a layout hole instantly with a twist and a bit of downward pressure. A drill bits point can easily be located by such a mark. The bird cage awls point will not be easily deflected by wood grain like a center punch sometimes can be. Youll have your hole right where you want it. You also do not need to occupy both hands with the punch and mallet, the awl works just fine with one. Boring a tapered hole is pretty quick and easy with a bc awl as well. A hole to fit a #4 through #6 wood screw can be created in a matter of seconds. These holes are perfect for attaching the hardware on smallish boxes like humidors and jewelry. Small countersunk screw heads will seat flush when their holes are created with a bc awl. So why all the noise today about bird cage awls, you wonder? Well, I received a note earlier this AM from Rob Porcaro alerting me to a blog post he had made about our bird cage awls. Rob had the booth next to mine at the Lie Nielsen Event in Boxborough, MA earlier this month and purchased a cocobolo bird cage awl from me. Here is his blog entry. Heartwood Blog Archive OK tools and excellent tools I been wanting to post something about these unique tools and Rob gave me the perfect excuse. Cheers, Bob |

IGA is constantly looking for new products to offer their customers at more than 280 grocery stores. The Québec grocer recently partnered with Les Charcutiers Pork Shop, a Montréal start-up offering artisanal dry sausage and was looking to create a product launch announcement that would stand out from the crowd. IGA partnered with CNW, a PR Newswire company, to develop a creative and unique campaign execution that made the most of IGA's multimedia assets.
IGA Increases Visibility and Brand Awareness with Launch: A Multimedia News Release Case Study discusses:
- How to make a product announcement stand out with the intelligent use of branded content and engagement tools
- Leveraging a multimedia landing page to engage the media and consumers
- Achieving campaign objectives in online visibility and increased brand awareness
Knowing that visuals would be most effective at telling the Les Charcutiers Pork Shop partnership story, IGA leveraged a branded landing page with many multimedia assets to engage audiences and increase awareness of both brands.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Very early pre-term babies kept alive with ventilators, chest tubes and drugs to support the heart may live a little longer than they did 10 years ago, but are just as likely to die before ever going home, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
Their study suggests the emotionally taxing and expensive care given these tiny newborns, delivered at 22 to 24 weeks gestation, does not in the end save their lives. Babies born at 22 weeks included in the study all died as infants, regardless of care.
"This is a very difficult ethical dilemma for everyone involved," Pamela Donohue of Johns Hopkins Childrens Center in Baltimore, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.
Most pregnancies last about 40 weeks, and babies born earlier than 37 weeks of pregnancy are considered premature.
Donohue's team studied 160 women who gave birth at 22-24 weeks during separate two-year periods - 1993-1995 and 2001-2003.
Those who gave birth during the current decade were more likely to receive higher-level care around the time of delivery, including sonograms, antibiotics and steroids to help with fetal lung development.
After birth, their children were more likely to be put on ventilators, drugs to boost heart and blood pressure rates and to have chest tubes inserted.
Infants born in 2001-2003 lived longer on average - seven days, compared to two days in the 1990s.
But mortality rates did not fall, and the researchers urged greater discussion and further study both on intervention and the degree of suffering imposed on children, their families and healthcare providers.
Mortality rates ranged from 100 percent for children born at 22 weeks to 46 percent for those delivered at 24 weeks, regardless of the decade.
"In fact, survival is the same as we reported for infants of similar gestational ages born 20 years ago," the researchers wrote in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"Applying all available medical technology to the perinatal care of extremely premature infants prolongs but does not prevent their death."

Dates:9/3 - 8, 2017
(6 days, 5 nights; Sun - Fri) |
Assembly Point: Seattle, WA(airline service to Seattle; Timberline van shuttle from Seattle to Kalaloch prior to tour and from Port Angeles to Seattle following tour) Meeting time: hotel 8:30 am Drop off time: 6 pm |
Tour Cost: $2,445(includes all lodging, all meals, Timberline van shuttles from Seattle to Kalaloch prior to tour and from Port Angeles to Seattle following tour, park entrance fees, leaders, trail maps & narratives) Additional Single Occupancy Lodging Cost: $578 |
Olympic National Park, situated in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula at land's end in the northwestern corner of Washington, dominated by the towering glacier-capped peaks of the Olympic Range, stands as one of the last genuine wilderness regions in the "lower 48." Much of the park can only be accessed on foot and the park's 600 miles of trails are proof that the Olympics are a hiker's fantasyland.
An important element contributing to the fascination of Olympic National Park is the astounding diversity embraced within its boundaries. From the Pacific beaches of Kalaloch through the rain forests of Quinault and the Hoh River, along the thunderous Rivers—the Elwha, Bogachiel, Quinault—that carve spectacular deep gorges, to the soaring snowclad summits of Mount Olympus and the Bailey Range, Olympic National Park offers an extraordinary adventure hiking opportunity.
It is this remarkable diversity that we hope to capture in the course of our Olympic National Park Hiking Tour. We'll assemble early morning of Day 1 in Seattle and van shuttle to Kalaloch on the windswept beaches of the Pacific. We'll have the full afternoon to explore the tide pools and fascinating rock formations along the beach and then spend the night oceanside (4 miles).
On Day 2, we're headed toward land's end near the peninsula's northwestern tip. We'll spend this day exploring Washington's wild wilderness coast, whose pounding surf is surpassed in violence only by that of Tierra Del Fuego along the entirety of the Pacific shoreline. Add to that the wide beaches, needle-like stacks of rock, and abundant marine wildlife, all of which conspire to create a never-to-be-forgotten coastal experience (9 miles). We'll then van shuttle to Forks (filming of the Twilight movies), where we'll spend the evening.
Day 3 will be devoted to the Hoh Rain Forest and a moderate valley trek along the Hoh River deep into this magnificent forest of giant hemlocks, cedar, spruce, fir and maple. We'll hike to Happy Four Camp before returning to our trailhead at the Hoh Visitor Center (11 miles). It's then off to the Sol Duc Valley and the Sol Duc Resort, arriving early enough to enjoy a good soak in the resort's hot springs pool.
Early morning of Day 4, we'll shuttle to the end of the Sol Duc Road and hike above Sol Duc to Sol Duc Falls and beyond to the Bogachiel Trail. We'll skirt the shoreline of Deer Lake and continue along the slopes of Bogachiel Peak. As we emerge onto Bogachiel's southern slope, mighty Mt. Olympus dominates the southern horizon. Trail conditions permitting, we'll climb to the craggy summit of the High Divide before returning to our trailhead (16 miles).
Following a second night at Sol Duc, we're off to the Elwha Valley on Day 5. We'll initially hike along the mighty Elwha, occasionally climbing well above the boiling river as it plunges dramatically to the Pacific. We'll descend into Rica Canyon and Krause Bottom to the remains of Hume's Ranch before completing our loop at Whiskey Bend (7 miles). We're then headed to Port Angeles for our final night.
No early flights on our final day, Day 6, because we have a full day planned in the alpine reaches of Hurricane Ridge. From the Hurricane Ridge, we'll hike above the trees to Hurricane Hill, with its sweeping views of the snowclad peaks of the Bailey Range. We may also venture out to Obstruction Point for more above-timberline alpine excitement, or settle for the tamer, but no less beautiful Klahhane Ridge (6 miles). Ultimately, we will have to leave this wonderland for our return to Seattle where the Olympic National Park Hiking Tour concludes.
