7-28-13 Proctor, MN
A gloomy start to the day turned into a perfect night for racing Sunday night July 28th at the
Proctor Speedway. A nice crowd of fans and a seasons high car count made for an interesting and
exciting night of action. A total of 97 cars were on hand in the five divisions. A total of 23
vintage racers from the Northern Vintage Stockcar Racers club were also in attendance.
Feature racing began with the Midwest Modifieds with 24 of the 25 cars starting the 20 lap
main event. Lance Solem of Duluth was the only non starter after a heat race incident. Mark
Kangas took the lead at the initial green flag from the pole with Jake Gondik, Cody Carlson and
Dan Kingsley following. Kangas and Gondik Pulled away from the rest in the early going but
lurking deeper in the field and working their way forward were Deven VanHouse and Danny
Vang. Kangas broke away while VanHouse and Vang came forward from the fourth row.
VanHouse worried at Gondik's bumper for second while Vang arrived in fourth. A tangle in the
first turn involving Jori Hughes, Justin Bassa and Cory Ziebol brought out the caution flag.
Ziebol and Bassa were out of the event and Hughes was banished to the back of the pack. The
restart saw Kangas still with the lead but VanHouse and Vang ran second and third. Kangas kept
out front using the high side momentum while VanHouse and Vang were occupied with the
battle for second. Gondik and Kingsley continued in the top five. VanHouse captured second and
closed up on Kangas as the two went at it for the lead with Vang looking for an opening.
VanHouse went into the lead and Vang worked on Kangas for second as an excitiong battle raged
for the lead. Kingsley was still fourth while Jesse Ogsten moved into fifth. Another incident in
the first turn involving Adam Shinn and Dale Soumala brought out caution flag number two with
six laps remaining. Shinn was charged and sent to the rear. At the green VanHouse retained the
lead over Vang, Kangas, Kingsley and Gondik. Ogston, Carlson, Jeff Forseen, Chris Bretting and
Tyler Luger ran in the top ten. On the restart lap there was a crash in turn one that saw Forseen
get turned over ending up on the passenger side bringing out the red flag. Forseen was okay but
out of the race. The restart saw Vang dive under VanHouse and took the lead but this time the
accident was in the third turn involving Carlson and Gondik. Both were out of the event. A lap
had not been completed so the restart put VanHouse back out front. This time he was able to hold
Vang back and lead the last few circuits for the win. Vang, Kangas and Kingsley finished in that
order while Luger took the fifth spot.
The next feature to take to the rack was for the Late Models for a 25 lap feature. Scott Herrick
and Terry Lillo started on the front row with Lillo getting the jump on the field at the green. Zach
Wohlers wedged himself into the battle between Lillo and Herrick and was soon joined by Kyle
Peterlin. Lillo held on to the lead as Herrick went to second ahead of Peterlin in third. Peterlin
used the high groove to take second but Tim Lillo spun in turn one bringing out the first caution
flag. At the restart Terry Lillo held onto the lead but Peterlin blasted around the high side and
sailed off turn four into the lead. Terry Lillo was left to fend off Wohlers as Darrell Nelson
entered the picture and skirmished with Herrick for fourth. The caution flag once again flew as
Dave Esse and Aaron Lillo tangled in turn one. At the green Peterlin had the lead as Wohlers
went to second ahead of Nelson and Terry Lillo and Nelson while Jeff Massingill took over fifth
after starting 11th. Peterlin was unchallenged in the lead and the order stayed the same for several
laps. Massingill and Terry Lillo battled for fourth but both were joined by Harry Hanson who had
rebounded after dropping back in the early going. As the white flag appeared Nelson got by
Wohlers into second and Hanson took fourth. Peterlin went on to take hi second straight feasture
win at the speedway with Nelson, Wohlers, Hanson and Terry Lillo rounding out the top five.
Next up were the Pure Stocks with 24 cars set to go 15 laps. Dustin Follett grabbed the lead at
the initial green flag and used the high groove momentum to move out by a couple of car lengths.
Esten Nelson, pole sitter Jon Hammitt, Mitch Cannata and Craig Horak followed. Follett and
Nelson pulled away from the pack while Cannata broke free into third. Glenn Dammer moved up
and battled with Horak in the top five. The caution flag flew when Cannata rolled off a front tire
and stopped in turn one. There were six laps recorded at this point, and at the green flag Follett
led but Dammer surged to second and went for the lead but Follett was able to hold him off.
Team mates Nelson and Horak battled for third as ninth starting Mike Blevins joined that
skirmish. Dammer took over the top spot as Horak qued up to try for second. Dammer won his
first feature of the season over Horak, Follett, Blevins and Nelson. Horak failed post race
inspection and was disqualified for the night moving first time visitor Jeremy Theisen into the
top five.
Following the Pure Stocks were the Super Stocks for their 20 lap main event. Pat Heikkinen
used the outside pole to race to the lead at the green flag ahead of front row mate Nick
Oreskovich.. Kevin Burdick, Dan Yrjanson and Shawn McFadden,Jr ran in the top five early on.
Coming in the outside groove was point leader Scott Lawrence who had started eighth. He move
into fourth as Burdick made a move on Heikkinen with Oreskovich and Lawrence in close
proximity. Burdick got by Heikkinen to the lead as Lawrence took second moving in the high
groove. He got alongside Burdick and went in front on the back stretch. At the half way point
Lawrence led Burdick, McFadden, Tyler Kintner and Oreskovich as Heikkinen slipped back to
seventh. With no caution flags in the event, Lawrence went on to take his fourth win of the
season. Burdick, McFadden, Kintner and Joe Oliver finished in the top five.
The final feature of the evening was for the Modfiieds and this one got off to a rough start as
Scott Heikkinen rolled onto his roof in the third turn on the first lap. He was uninjured and,
amazingly, was able to refire the car and rejoin the race. Another try at the first lap of 20 was
successful as Kevin Eder shot into the lead from the second row ahead of Brian Mikkonen, John
Schulke and Nick Musel while Darrell Nelson and Deven VanHouse battled for fifth. Up front a
battle for the point developed between Eder and Mikkonen as the pair flew around the speedway
for several laps door to door as Eder led most of them by just a couple of feet. Nelson moved up
to third and soon joined the leaders watching for an opening while Musel and VanHouse raced
for fourth. Eder finally was able to assert himself enough to take the lead leaving Mikkonen in
the clutches of Nelson for second. VanHouse was in a battle with Cory Jorgenson for fifth but
was able to hold onto that spot. Eder raced out to a big lead while Nelson and Mikkonen ran side
by side for second. Eder easily won his second feature of the season at the speedway over
Mikkonen, Nelson, Musel and VanHouse while Brad Hanson got by Jorgenson to finish sixth.

- Sybils Cave Hoboken Eighth Street Frank Sinatra Drive Historical Museum Historic Site Edgar Allan Poe Mary Rogers virtual tour interactive
- Description
Sybil's Cave - three views, from left: portal and entrance gate; view into the mouth; view looking out from the back of the cave.
A 19th century man-made cave in the cliffs at the Hudson River, 8th St. and Frank Sinatra Drive. A natural spring at the spot led to the 1830s creation of Sybil's Cave by the Stevens family as an attraction on the west side of the Hudson River for New Yorkers visiting Hoboken. The spring water was sold for 2 pennies a glass.
Mary Rogers and Edgar Allan Poe are part of the cave's legend. You can find out more below.
The cave was closed to the public in the late 19th C. and "lost" for decades until the early 2000s. It was re-opened and a new portal, a tribute to the original carved stone, was built. In 2008, it was re-dedicated as a small city park, but the cave itself is not open to visitors.
There is a lot more about the cave in the Museum's online catalog:
hoboken.pastperfect-online.com/32340cgi/mweb.exe?request=keyword;keyword="sybils cave";dtype=i
For the Gigapan community: the image here is obviously a composite of three stitched gigapans and re-worked in Photoshop. The most interesting one is the last where the 6x11 gigapan used only natural lighting and required some long exposures, up to 2-1/2 seconds at F8 with a Nikon D90.

From Pragmatic to Profound, It's All Powerful: Snapshots as AIDS 2014 Begins to Close
July 24, 2014
As the clock moved forward on the final full day of the conference, fervent and final arguments were made, souvenirs were tucked away for the return trip, and the flow of posts with the #AIDS2014 slowed to a trickle.
Even as the conference uploaded a greater number of actual session webcasts to the Internet -- partially rectifying a gripe voiced by at least a few journalists and advocates seeking to follow the proceedings from afar -- the conference itself began to end.
The closing sessions of the conference still lie ahead, but they tend to be notoriously ill-attended as people make their way back to the vital work and the cherished families and communities that await them at home.
At the closing, hard-working "rapporteurs," the diligent summarizers and synthesizers of the conference set, will deliver summaries of each of the five conference tracks.
Mark S. King took to the streets with fellow activists, serving as a rapporteur of sorts in his most recent video installment as he interviewed "awesome advocates." Here's just a few more examples of the important words and ideas we've heard, seen and read in recent hours:
Words Well Said
JoAnne Keatley: "We are transgender women and men, and we have our own community, and our own ability to respond to the issues that are facing us."
The Star Observer of Australia captured the voice of JoAnne Keatley calling for more recognition of transgender leaders:
At the opening plenary session on the fifth day of the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, trans woman and researcher JoAnne Keatley said trans people should be representing themselves. "Consider inviting a trans HIV profession to represent our own response to these important updates and issues," she said to the packed audience, who responded with applause. "I think that many of the people on the panel recognize that trans women and men are not men who have sex with men, we are transgender women and men, and we have our own community, and our own ability to respond to the issues that are facing us."
Keatley, who runs the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health in the U.S., told the Star Observer she was concerned about the blanket use of the term "transgender" by WHO (World Health Organization) and others, even though trans women are disproportionately affected by HIV.
She explained that a draft of the recent WHO guidelines for HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for key populations "kept speaking about transgender people as if we didn't have male or female identities ... So my argument was that, to say that transgender people were a key population when really the incidence resided among trans women, the fact that we don't call out the fact that HIV is having this profound impact on transgender women, and that we reduce it to transgender women is just another way of erasing our gender. It dehumanizes us and in effect it erases our gender identity."
Paul Semugoma: "Today I was very powerfully reminded that people still die of AIDS."
Dr. Paul Semugoma, a physician from Uganda who has been a leader in the fight for HIV prevention, care, and treatment among gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Africa, received the 2014 Elizabeth Taylor human rights award from amfAR, just hours after the loss of a family member to AIDS:
U.S. Ambassador, on HIV criminalization: "Time to remedy our mistakes."
Introducing the panel "Criminalization of Key Populations: How to Respond to HIV," the U.S. Ambassador to Australia delivered a hard-hitting statement that condemned a range of criminalization measures, including those in his home nation:
We know that criminalization is bad health policy. It is bad public policy. It doesn't work to prevent the spread of disease -- in fact, it does the opposite.

Thread: Fluval heater broke--dangerous?

Fluval heater broke--dangerous?
The Fluval heater in my 50-gallon tank broke right down the middle. Not sure when, I just woke up this morning to find it that way. Maybe one of the plecos hit it wrong.
I've removed all the parts and broken glass that I could find, but I'm concerned about the possibility of dangerous chemicals from inside the heater entering the tank. I saw some rust-colored water come out of the broken tube while I was removing it.
This tank just recovered from an ick outbreak last week, I don't want more fish problems if I can help it...any advice?
I'll replace the heater first thing today.
If you had rust inside the heater that would indicate to me that it was leaking [& potentially not operating properly] for some time.
Rust is not good [It's basically oxidized Iron], Do a pair of massive WCs [80 or 90%] and hope for the best. You didn't mention the tank size but I would run some carbon also, Couldn't hurt anything.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
The main thing to watch for, is glass in the gravel, not chemicals from the innards. I've never seen anything but inert materials in heaters and I've seen a LOT of them. Getting cut from a sliver of glass inside an aquarium is potentially serious.
If you should get cut or scratched - or have cuts or scratches when servicing your tank - pay more attention to the wound than you might otherwise.

Has anybody resently been to a TRU and notice the Zoids Ultimate Liger Zero? I noticed the it was done by Hasbro. The thing had light-up thrusters and claws. Sounds for the thrusters, and when you tilted the head back it roared. Very nice. It also had a AF size figure to go into the cockpit.
Anyway, why doesn't Hasbro do that for the Star Wars Action Fleet? Think about it. The Millennium Falcom, Slave-1, Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Ring, Queen Amidala's Royal Starship, AT-TE, AT-AT. Or how about the Republic Gunship? All with light, sound and mini figs. Now, I'm not saying to do all the AF like that, but there are alot of ships from all the movies that would be awesome for a Ultimate Action Fleet.
Just a thought

Tuansamrit Surakriangkrai (Red) vs. Payakdam Lukmakamwan (Blue)
Nontachai Sor. Kajana (Red) vs. Denmusalim Sitporkae (Blue)
Also in action were two of the best at the lower weights, with Wanchana Or. Boonchuay and Sam-D Petchyindeeacademy both earning victories. Wanchana's came a lot quicker as he blew out Bangpleenoi in the first round. Julong was tricky and gave Sam-D a bit of trouble in a fight that went the five round distance.

2004 Youths blame GTA: San Andreas for spraypainting spree
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 05:16 AM MDT | By Neil
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is today reporting on an interesting case in which five youths claimed they were inspied by GTA: San Andreas after going on a spray-painting spree.
Greensburg police have charged the five boys, aged between 12 and 14 with desecration of a venerated object, institutional vandalism, criminal mischief and criminal conspiracy, after they allegedly 'tagged' many important buildings, including a Jewish temple and a statue, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania on December 7th.
Claiming they were inspired by GTA: San Andreas, the gang, known as "Gangster Kids United", admitted spraying their group's initials when questioned by police.

When you look down at your favorite black jacket or top and see white flakes on your shoulder, your embarrassment may make you think that you're the only person around dealing with dandruff. The truth is that you're far from alone. An incredibly common skin condition, dandruff affects nearly 60 million Americans and millions more around the world.
Dandruff is a scalp condition marked by the presence of white or whitish-yellow flakes. The flakes often look oily, and people dealing with dandruff may suffer from oily hair as well. Along with the flakes, itchiness along the scalp is also common.

I think Les has his hands in the offense too much
RR on twitter and dandy don mentioned it to
so just people thinking out loud...really no substance
I always chuckle when people make that argument. He is the HEAD frickING COACH....he isn't allowed to have his hands in shit?
sure he's allowed. But that also makes Stud look worse than he actually is. You aren't following this thread much are you, big guy?
Les can't fix a broke oline, bad passes, picks in the redzone, 5 dropped passes a game
I doubt any school would want him. He can't coordinate four and five star recruits
In 2005, Studrawa led a Bowling Green offense that ranked second in the MAC in both passing (283.9) and scoring (33.8) and was third in the league in pass efficiency (142.4). In 2004, BGSU finished second nationally in total offense with a MAC record 506.3 yards per game. The Falcons were also third in the nation in passing (338.3) and turnover margin (1.25) and fourth in scoring with a MAC record 44.3 points per game. In 2004, the Falcons had four games of scoring at least 50 points as they averaged 49.4 points over their final nine games of the season. The 2004 season saw the Falcons go 9-3 overall, which included the 52-35 victory over Memphis in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
How much say so do you think Miles has in the defensive personnel/play calling on Defense vs that of the offense?
Do you think Miles should be completely hands off?
How so? The playcalls worked when our players actually executed. Imagine that. Les can't fix a broke oline, bad passes, picks in the redzone, 5 dropped passes a game
Our offense will be scary next year, oh wait we have been saying that every year.
How much say so do you think Miles has in the defensive personnel/play calling on Defense vs that of the offense?
So obviously you think Les is calling ALL the plays.
The head coach is responsible for the concept and identity of your offense. Unless Les is calling every play, your example is on the offensive coordinator not Les.
You are possibly the most miserable person on here.

COLUMBUS — Bonds has been set at $200,000 for a 17-year-old Starkville man charged with murder in a fatal shooting at a nightclub Thursday morning.
The teenager made an initial court appearance Friday. He remains in the Lowndes County jail.
The shooting occurred just minutes after midnight at the Crossroads lounge on Mississippi Highway 182 at the Lowndes-Oktibbeha County line. Authorities say the incident occurred during a Valentine's Day party. Other details were not released.
Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt says 23-year-old Trumaine Q. Macon of Starkville was shot and was pronounced dead at OCH Regional Medical Center.

FRIDAY'S FAB FINDS™ HOLIDAY EDITION | Felt garland, a sparkly dress I must have for a party next week, frosted gingerbread treats, DIY holiday postcards and tags…
I know, so cute!
A few quick notes before I get to the pretty stuff:
Today's the last day to enter the free wedding photography giveaway by Gem Photo. So, if you haven't submitted your entry yet, I, uhh… I suggest you, uhh, get on that straight away. Click here to find out more!
Vendor Love launched on Wednesday, and we couldn't be more excited about it! We've received incredible feedback about it, beyond-our-over-achieving-dreams-feedback, and we're thrilled so many of you beautiful brides out there love it so much! One could say that our goal is to be a bit like a dating site for brides and wedding vendors, creating ideal matches between brides and vendors, except without the high sex-on-the-first-date frequency. So far, we've kept one-night-stands to a minimum, so we're pretty thrilled about that! ;) But seriously, we're beyond glad everyone's finding it so useful and easy to navigate, and just plain loving it so much (we do try to read all of your emails and tweets, we're slowly but surely making our way through it all, so thank you EVERYONE for writing!). Our vendors already started getting countless inquiries within the first 24 hours (!!!) of the launch, so we're pretty freakin' excited about that, obvs.
Brides: we'll be continually adding vendors to the guide, so keep checking back for even more insane talent!
Ok, on to my holiday finds from around the interweb!
That adorable tray of cheery gingerbread cookies is from Ikea's 140-page coffee table book, "Hembakat är Bäst" – which means "Homemade is Best." Styling by Evelina Bratellshot; photographed by Carl Kleiner; via Lushlee.
J'adore the sparkle factor below, ladies. Smells like pretty.
Perfect for NYE, if you're willing to freeze your nips off.
Really digging this felt ball garland project from Jordan Ferney's Oh Happy Day! I knew felt had its uses, but I didn't know it could look this chic.
How CUTE is this DIY Holiday Paper Reindeer Postcard & Tag via Eat Drink Chic????!!!!!
Love it. Go ahead and check it out if you want more of it.
Loooooving these hot cocoa ornament favors from Austin Wedding Blog. Of course, I heart anything involving cocoa, so I'm biased.
Ok, that's a wrap… for now. Of course, there are approximately a LOT more of these awesome bits and pieces all over the web this time of year. I just thought I'd gather up some of my absolute favorites for you guys to check out. I'm dying to know what you think? So, what think you?
Another thing I'm dying to know; what are your holiday plans? Family, friends, parties… what are you guys up to this season?
Hope you're having a happy Friday, friendlies!
xoxo! – Alison

When i close application i always get (Process returned -2147418113 <0x8000FFFF>...)
And sometimes (-1073741819 <0xC0000005> Access Violation) if opened and closed in rapid succession.
I have return 0 at end of the code and i am wondering what may be causing a error like this, since i am using only c++ standard(string, int, enums) and sfml2.0 lib, no pointers or personally using heap memory space.
Before i shutdown all music, close window, and process still returns (-2147418113 <0x8000FFFF>).
The program works as expected, it didn't crash or shutdown for unknown reason. and i run it at least 10min.
Any suggestions on what should i turn my attention towards to fix this problem?
If some personal experience tips.
Id post code, but its months of coding...

The three top contenders to take out the Brother Rally New Zealand round of the World Rally Championship, on paper at least, also finished in the top three at the last round of the series in Greece.
On that occasion Sebastien Loeb and co-driver Daniel Elena kept Citroen teammate Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen at bay by 40 seconds with Ford's Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikka Anttila taking the last spot on the podium.
Hirvonen will be very keen to get one over his two main antagonists this year at the Kiwi event, as of the trio he's the only one not have a New Zealand trophy on his mantlepiece at home.
Loeb's won twice and Latvala, Hirvonen's former teammate, is the defending champion from 2010. Hirvonen was well in contention last time he took to the North Island gravel roads but crashed in the last stage, ruling out any chance of a win.
The Finn has been probably the most consistent, other than Loeb, of course, over the past six seasons and arrives in New Zealand sitting second in the championship, fully focused on closing the 30-point gap to his teammate.
Hirvonen is quietly confident his time may have come on the fast, flowing gravel roads of New Zealand.
"I like racing here in New Zealand. The roads are some of the best in the world," said Hirvonen. "I have good memories from previous years and it's always gone very well here, well, for the most, anyway.
"The New Zealand round has always been a really nice rally and the roads are fantastic and the people are really great.
"It's one of the best rallies stagewise that there is.
"I've come so close to winning in New Zealand in the past that I definitely want to get the title this time. Sure you want to win all the rallies but the New Zealand one is the one I'd like. As you said, in the past something always went wrong."
This could be the year Hirvonen gets his wish. He's switched to Citroen for 2012 and has finished second to his new teammate Loeb four times. The only time Hirvonen hasn't finished in the top five this season is the DNF he suffered in Portugal along with Loeb.
He's second in the title hunt behind fellow Citroen driver Loeb and nine points ahead of Mads Ostberg.
Changing teams is a hard thing to do in any sport, but Hirvonen's record so far this year proves he's taken to his new environment well.
"It's been good [changing teams] and I really enjoy it. For sure it was hard to leave Ford and all my friends, but I felt I needed a change.
"It was also a great opportunity for me to get into a team that I could see has done well. It's been really exciting so far."
While WRC rally cars have a lot in common, there are small nuances with engines and chassis that make switching manufacturers a chore in itself - especially when it comes to driving the beasts at speed.
"There are differences for sure between the Ford and the Citroen. When I first drove the car [Citroen], it felt like the Ford was a bit more stable at high speed. However, the Citroen was easier to drive through the low speed stuff.
"The manufacturers have a different idea about how they build the rally car, like the suspension, the geometry and the weight distribution. Everything's a bit different but there's a lot of stuff I can bring from Ford to help the car work better at high speed.
"I also need to know and learn how the Citroen works at low speed," said Hirvonen.
Now that the two, on current form, best rally drivers are in the same team it would be fair to say Citroen is odds on to win the manufacturer's title.
However, with seven rounds to go, including the New Zealand adventure, it's eminently possible Hirvonen may get the wood on his illustrious teammate and grab his first world title.
"We've been performing really strongly so far this year and hopefully after New Zealand I can reduce the point's gap between me and Seb a little bit. That's what I'm hoping do.
"It's still a long way to go in the season but the dream is to beat Seb and win my first championship. There are so many new things to learn at the moment in the new team that I'm just happy to take it rally by rally and see what happens," said Hirvonen.
He is under no illusion that it's going to be a hard ask to get one over Loeb, but to be in the same machinery may just be what the Finn needs to grab the title.

Salsa, fruit spread, cilantro, avocado, olives and cheese bring sensational flavor and texture to this party spread.
Looking for another quick and easy spread? Top a block of cream cheese with raspberry spreadable fruit and toasted slivered almonds.
Ideas for leftover avocado: Slice thinly and put on sandwiches, cube and toss with salads or simply enjoy as is! (Wrap leftover avocado tightly in plastic wrap to keep it from turning brown.)

What a doofus. Cruz impaled him with a smile on his face. Made for great theater on Cspan right at the end of the 21 hour run. The man had been standing since the previous day and still had enough wit about him to slay the half wit Durbin.
Bill Davis
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
To Cruz's credit, he made no personal attacks (even when attacked) and calmly destroyed every argument put before him by Reid, Durbin, et al. McCain didn't even have the guts to ask a question during the 21 hours. He waited till it was over and Cruz wasn't there to eviscerate him verbally to get up there and babble on about whatever it was he was babbling about.
Bill Davis
Gerry and all clear thinking folks.....here is a broader list of Repub's who supported Dingy Harry Reid and the Dem's: Hereare the 25 Senate Republicans who voted to allow HarryReid (D-NV) and the Democrats to strip defunding Obamacare out of the HouseBill:
Lamar Alexander (R-TN) John Cornyn (R-TX) Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) John Barrasso (R-WY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Johnny Isakson (R-GA) John Boozman (R-AR) Mike Johanns (R-NE) Richard Burr (R-NC) Ron Johnson (R-WI) Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) Mark Kirk (R-IL) Jeff Chiesa (R-NJ) John McCain (R-AZ) Dan Coats (R-IN) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Tom Coburn (R-OK) Lisa Murkowksi (R-AK) Thad Cochran (R-MS) John Thune (R-SD) Susan Collins (R-ME) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Bob Corker (R-TN)
There were a lot of people who worked against Conservative Republicans in this fight,but nobody worked harder to split Republicans on this bill in the Senate than MitchMcConnell (R-KY), the Republican Leader. Of course, Lindsey Graham, McCain,Blunt, Collins, and Corker and all continue to demonstrate that they are RINO'shiding in the grass! In 2012 we have toget more Conservatives in the Senate!
Yes, McConnell should be fired. There was probably no way to get the 51 votes needed to avoid stripping the defunding of O-care ... Corker, McCain, Graham had already defected, but when McConnell divided the conservatives even further, he made it worse.
Here is an interesting analysis of what Cruz's tactics should mean. It expresses the thought I've seen elsewhere, when you're in a street fight, you don't use Marquis of Queensbury rules. Also, saw one commentary that suggested it's time for conservatives to start using Alinsky tactics as well. Just substitute conservative goals for liberal ones.
The author uses an analogy of the movie Wait Until Dark ... a blind woman, trapped alone with a murderer, and no help from anyone.Still, innocence is no replacement for strength. Like Susy Hendrix trapped in a basement apartment with a dead man and a killer with nobody to save her, we're right, but we're terribly disadvantaged -- almost hopelessly so. The president will veto whatever we do, we'll get blamed by the legion of biased professors and reporters, the intelligence community will start bugging our phones, the IRS will mysteriously leak our tax returns to the gay storm troopers at the Human Rights Campaign, and many of our neighbors (even family) will be brainwashed by the fabricated consensus around us to demonize our position as unpatriotic.
Maybe it's best to surrender.
Wait. Was it best for Susy Hendrix to surrender to Alan Arkin's cheap bad guy character? Just hand over the doll full of heroine and hope he won't set fire to the whole place with Susy in it on his way out? What would Audrey do?
She turns what makes her weak into a strength! She's blind, and the bad guy who wants to kill her isn't. So she smashes all the light bulbs in the apartment until it's completely dark. Now the bad guy's only option to see his way around is to light a match, but he can't do it, because Susy's managed to feel her way to the gasoline bucket, and she's doused him, too. While Alan Arkin stumbles over the furniture and bumps into walls, Susy knows her way around in the dark. She manages to fish a knife out of the kitchen rack and stab the criminal in the belly.Wait Until Dark is only one hour and forty-seven minutes long, so it's easier to digest than von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. The camp lesson is simple: when the other side is strong, don't fight them on their terms. Fight on the terms that you know and control better than they do. Turn your weakness into a plus.
Conservatives will not gain anything by strategizing about how to succeed within standard congressional procedure. Pull the plug. Change the game. Take away the "power" that the other side feeds on -- in Susy's case, light; in our case, respect for conventional opinion. Be unconventional.Maybe we will win big in 2014. Maybe we won't. In some ways, fighting over who's going to look good or look bad in 2014 or 2016 is the equivalent of Susy Hendrix trying to fight with the lights on. Ted Cruz has drawn liberals into a rhetorical battlefield that they aren't equipped to deal with, because they've made all of their surroundings safe by co-opting or intimidating anybody who has a counter-argument. Just by wandering off the acceptable scripts, Cruz changed the game.
But there is one thing we have to be careful of: make sure to unplug the refrigerator.Susy almost lost her battle with the murderer because, while she had smashed all the lightbulbs in the apartment, the murderer almost gained the final advantage because she had not unplugged the refrigerator. The open door of the fridge gave the light for the murderer to regain his advantage ... until Susy was able to manage to get to the plug and pull it.
Are McConnell and Boehner the refrigerator? Can the plug be pulled in 2014?

Steve Lonegan is a conservative running to fill the Senate seat from NJ. This article says that Booker is now down to a single digit lead. That's amazing in itself.

As mayor of Bogota, New Jersey, his record of conservative fiscally wise decisions speaks for itself. Lonegan is fearless, outspoken and relentless in his efforts to stop Obama's socialist/progressive agenda.Funding from the people of New Jersey and grassroots has Lonegan surging.

1. Le scaphandre et le papillon|The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Julian Schnabel admires artists who overcome adversity. Like Jean-Dominique Bauby, a Parisian journalist who suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed except for one eye — he wrote the memoir on which this film is based by blinking out the words in code. Most directors would be content with the pathos. Schnabel looks deeper: his subtle use of point of view and poetic images and an overwhelming performance by Mathieu Amalric illuminate the conflict, the tragedy, the terror, and the triumph.
2. Across the Universe
What would the world be like with Beatles music but no Beatles? Would the songs spring from the lives and the subconscious of common people? That would be the perfect movie musical, and Julie Taymor comes close to pulling it off, as when "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" transforms a veterans' hospital into a zoetrope aswirl with brutal images of '60s conflict. Across the Universe brims with creativity — what the world was like with Beatles songs and the Beatles.
3. The Bourne Ultimatum
Arty Paul Greengrass made the best action film of 2007. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) suffers from amnesia and a guilty conscience; he's killed, but he doesn't know why or for whom, and neither does he know who he is. To find out, he hopscotches around the world, kicking ass and taking hits. Greengrass shot this in long takes with a handheld camera, creating a chaos with just enough clarity to let you figure it out. Kind of like Bourne himself, who suspects that the truth might set him free, but not from responsibility.
4. Red RoadAndrea Arnold's film observes a world where even isolation has lost all humanity, where obsession, degradation, and violence are the price of making contact. It's also an affirmation of courage and desire. A cop assigned to the Glasgow CCTV department spends the day spying on every back alley in town until an image stirs her memory, or maybe her imagination. What results draws on the lust and loss throbbing behind images. In a world where contact and betrayal converge, where public and private are the same and nothing, redemption can start with a TV screen.

It's Showtime Lyon: Badr Hari vs. Gregory Tony Preview
- Written by Rian Scalia
In the main event, the always entertaining and controversial Badr Hari takes on Frenchman Gregory Tony.
This is Badr's first fight in a year. He's taken time off to get his head together and now he looks to jump right back in the mix with a win over Gregory Tony. Badr wasn't the usual Badr at the press conference and weigh ins. He shook Tony's hand and smiled, showing an unusual display of respect to his opponent. However, the one thing that we know is that when Badr steps in that ring and stares across at Gregory Tony, all the smiles and handshakes will be thrown out the window.
Badr's opponent, Gregory Tony is someone who you might've gotten know a little more about over the past week. The Frenchman is also coming off a long layoff - in kickboxing. In kickboxing, he has a longer layoff than Badr. He has been keeping active in boxing but is that enough to make this competitive? Probably not. Although racking up a 15-2 record, most of his wins have been cans and he got absolutely smashed by Robert Helenius. You also wonder if he's still been training in kickboxing all this time.
I think it's right to assume that Badr Hari is just absolutely chomping at the bit to get back in the ring and hurt someone. Expect Badr to have a more cautious, technical start but once he gets settled in watch for him to blitz Tony with power punches. There's no way I can see Gregory Tony withstanding a Badr Hari onslaught. Tony doesn't seem to take to getting hit very well and there's no doubt that once Badr hits him he's gonna be in a world of hurt.
Tony's jab and right hand are decent but if he lands them I don't expect Badr to be phased. Badr will get settled in after the first minute and a half, find an opening and unleash a barrage of power shots on Tony until he goes down and doesn't get back up. Tony might get brutally knocked out in this one.

Spanish Garlic Shrimp
A Garlic Shrimp Recipe To Make Your OwnThis Spanish Garlic Shrimp recipe is a favorite tapas dish from Spain's Andalucia region. It's destined to become your go-to shrimp in garlic dish--seasoned with GOYA® Minced Garlic, spicy chile flakes, and savory GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning, how could it not be?
These flavor-packed grilled garlic shrimp can be an appetizer, or double the recipe and serve atop GOYA® Yellow Rice Mix as a delicious, colorful main course.
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 min.
Total time: 20 min.
˝ cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 30 pieces)
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo with Pepper
3 tbsp. GOYA® Lemon Juice
1˝ tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, or 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. paprika
˝ tsp. GOYA® Chili Crushed Red Pepper
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
|Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season shrimp with adobo. Cook shrimp until they start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, garlic, paprika and red pepper to pan. Continue cooking until garlic turns light golden brown and shrimp become opaque, about 1 minute more.
|Transfer shrimp and sauce to serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley.
Sauté Shrimp without Splatters
Oil that pops and bubbles can result in a messy countertop and dangerous burns. The likely culprit: moisture on the shrimp that leaks into the oil and causes the flare-ups. Next time, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before cooking. If you're using frozen shrimp, make sure they're defrosted completely before drying.

The drug penicillamine is primarily used to treat Wilson's disease (an inherited disorder affecting copper metabolism, causing cirrhosis and brain and eye problems) and rheumatoid arthritis.
Avoid in Cases of Wilson's Disease
When used to treat Wilson's disease, penicillamine works by removing copper from the body. Taking copper supplements while you are using penicillamine for this condition is not a good idea.
Possible Need for Supplementation
Penicillamine might increase the need for vitamin B
Taking 25 to 50 mg of supplemental B
daily is often recommended.
Supplementation Possibly Helpful, but Take at a Different Time of Day
Long-term use of penicillamine can cause zinc deficiency.
However, zinc can impair penicillamine absorption, so do not take zinc supplements during the 2 hours before or after your penicillamine dose.
Take at a Different Time of Day
Penicillamine attaches to the mineral iron, which impairs the absorption of both substances.
The solution: If you need iron supplements, do not take them during the 2 hours before or after your penicillamine dose.

Mortality risk is found by weighting the value of population exposure to landslides for each grid cell by a vulnerability coefficient to obtain an estimate of risk. The vulnerability weights are based on historical losses in previous disasters. The mortality weights are applied to population exposure to obtain mortality risks. The weights are an aggregate index relative to losses within each region and country wealth class (classifications based on 2000 GDP) over the 20-year period from 1981 – 2000.

you have got to be kidding me. this is the most ridiculus rule period
you have got to be kidding me. this is the most ridiculus rule period
it is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!! Whata bunch of fckn BBBBBBBSSSSSSHIEEEEETTT!!!
Yea bull****, but at least it is a real rule, unlike last time Steratore screwed us. On a separate note Cameron Wake is such a beast!
I love Miami!!![IMG]file:///C:/Users/Owner/Pictures/2012-08-12%20sleepin/sleepin%201257.jpg[/IMG]
ridiculous - he even re-tucked the damn thing
How does tuck = incomplete pass anyways? The rule makes no sense to me. Can anyone rationalize it?
They made the right call according to the rule. It's a BS rule that will hopefully get changed to reflect its true intention (to only come into play when it benefits a Patriots' QB), but the right call unfortunately for us.
If the ball doesnt cross the line of scrimmage, it should be a fumble, PERIOD!
All that ridiculous rule does is penalize the defense. If they are gonna keep this idiotic rule, then intent should come into play. It was clearly obvious from the replay that Bradford neither intended or made a made a legit attempt to pass the ball.
The way the officials interpret that rule, why wouldn't you teach your QB to pump the ball back and forth, very slightly, while sitting in the pocket? By doing that, you'd never run the risk of a sack or fumble if your QB gets hit and loses the ball.
How is that rule still there? After Brady got his Super Bowl because of it, they should have changed it.

- Description
This is the flight deck of the space shuttle Discovery during her decommissioning process in the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF). Several components are missing as part of that process including panels of switches, closed circuit TV (CCTV) screens, and storage lockers. During flight, the commander sat in the seat on the left and the pilot on the right. Hatches behind their seats lead below to the mid-deck. While in orbit, the rear windows looked out to the payload bay at any cargo operations while the windows on top usually gave a dramatic view of Earth far below.

If memory serves me correctly this was taken with a Canon S100 and its about 600 image in all.
Can we have some more technical detail, camera and lens etc......
as Jason Buchheim poiinted out, look at it www.3d-360.com/102753 it far mor impressive. I am only using this oportunity point out that GigPan viewer sucks for 360 panoramas. I posted this same comment on my own panorama, even wrote emails 2 YEARS ago to email@example.com and email@example.com and they said they understand my frustration. But still today (2 years later) the shame lame viewer is here.... and I have not uploaded a pano since, though i do have plenty more on my disk :( :( :(
Impresive detail for such narrow place. Historic gigapan :) Please, tell us the tecnical details about the gigapan. Great job!!
This is an astounding panorama! Great job, I am very impressed. This looks great in a virtual reality Gigapan proxy viewer here www.3d-360.com/102753
So glad someone thought of doing this before it was too late.
Absolutely amazing! What camera/lens did you use John? Thank you.

One reason raised beds are so effective for increasing efficiency and yields is that crops produce better because the soil in the beds is deep, loose, and fertile. Plants benefit from the improved soil drainage and aeration, and plant roots penetrate readily. Weeds are easy to pull up, too. Since gardeners stay in the pathways, the soil is never walked upon or compacted. Soil amendments and improvement efforts are concentrated in the beds and not wasted on the pathways, which are simply covered with mulch or planted with grass or a low-growing cover crop. Also, the raised bed's rounded contour provides more actual growing area than does the same amount of flat ground.
Raised beds also save time and money because you need only dig, fertilize, and water the beds, not the paths. You don't need to weed as much when crops grow close together, because weeds can't compete as well. Gardeners with limited mobility find raised beds the perfect solution—a wide sill on a framed raised bed makes a good spot to sit while working. A high frame puts plants in reach of a gardener using a wheelchair. For best access, make beds 28 to 30 inches high, and also keep the beds narrow—no more than 4 feet wide—so it's easy to reach to the center of the bed.
Building Raised Beds
The traditional way to make a raised bed is to double-dig. This process involves removing the topsoil layer from a bed, loosening the subsoil, and replacing the topsoil, mixing in plenty of organic matter in the process. Double-digging has many benefits, but it can be time-consuming and laborious. See the Soil entry for details.
If your garden soil is difficult—heavy clay, very alkaline, or full of rocks—you may want to mix your own soil from trucked-in topsoil, organic matter, and mineral amendments. Then you can build beds up from ground level, without disturbing or incorporating the native soil. You may also need to add extra materials to raised beds if you want them to be tall enough for a gardener in a wheelchair to reach easily.
Lasagna Gardening
This is a no-till option for building raised beds and great soil. It is similar to sheet composting and allows you to build raised beds without stripping grass or weeds off the site. You can also build a lasagna garden on top of an existing vegetable garden site.
If you are starting on a new site, first cut the grass as short as possible and/or scalp the weeds at ground level. Next cover the bed with a thick layer of newspaper (6 to 10 sheets) to smother existing vegetation. Use sheets of cardboard or flattened cardboard boxes if there are vigorous perennial weeds on the site. Either wet down the newspapers as you spread them or have a supply of soil or mulch at hand and weigh them down with handfuls as you spread. Be sure to overlap the edges of the newspaper or cardboard as you work.
Gardening in layers. To make a lasagna garden, spread newspapers or cardboard to smother existing vegetation, then pile on layers of grass clippings, chopped leaves, kitchen scraps, finished compost, and topsoil.
After that, begin layering organic matter on top of the site. Combine materials as you would in a compost pile, by mixing "browns" and "greens." Add layers of organic materials such as grass clippings, finished compost, chopped leaves, kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, seaweed, shredded mail or newspaper, garden trimmings, used potting soil, sawdust, and weeds (don't add ones that have gone to seed or perennials with vigorous rhizomes, which will spread and grow in the bed). You can also add topsoil, which will help speed things along. Make a pile that is 1 feet or more deep, and top it off with a layer of mulch to keep weeds from getting a foothold. Then wait several months for materials to decompose.
You can build a lasagna garden any time of year. Building one in fall to plant in spring is a good idea, and there are plenty of leaves available for chopping and adding to the mix. If you're building in spring or summer, you can speed up the time when it will be ready to plant by adding extra compost and topsoil in the mix. Top the bed with 2 to 3 inches of topsoil and/or compost for annual crops (more for perennial plants) and then plant seedlings directly into the topsoil/compost mix.
Rich soil coupled with intensive gardening practices are what make raised bed gardening so successful. Intensive horticulture has been practiced for centuries in many parts of the world. In America, one of the best-known methods is French intensive gardening. Intensive gardening methods all have their own disciplines, but all use raised growing beds, close spacing between plants, careful attention to building and maintaining soil fertility, and succession planting to make the best use of available growing space.
Applied skillfully, intensive growing methods can (and consistently do) produce harvests 4 to 10 times greater than might be expected from a conventional garden. But intensive gardening also demands more initial work, planning, and scheduling than row gardens. If you wish to convert to intensive methods, it's best to start gradually. For example, you could try building one or two raised beds each gardening season for a few years.
Plantings managed using intensive planting systems require fertile, well-balanced soil rich in organic content. Without plentiful additions of compost along with soil amendments, intensively gardened soil soon loses its vitality. Cover crops or green manures also help keep the soil fertile.
Close Plant Spacing
One reason that raised beds are so productive is that they are planted intensively, putting as much as 80 percent of a garden's surface area into crop production. Pathways and spaces between crop rows make up the remainder. Plants are placed close together over the entire bed, usually in a triangular or staggered pattern, so that their leaves overlap slightly at maturity. This allows for more plants per square foot and produces a continuous leafy canopy that shades the bed, moderates soil temperature, conserves moisture, and discourages weeds. Close spacing also means plantings must be carefully planned according to each crop's growing habits, including root spread, mature size, and water and nutrient needs.
Succession Planting
Another technique used to maximize harvests in raised bed gardens is succession planting, which is the practice of rapidly filling the space vacated by a harvested crop by planting a new crop. This can be as simple as following harvested cool-season spring vegetables, such as peas or spinach, with a planting of warm-season summer crops, such as beans or squash. Once harvested, those crops could be followed by a cold-tolerant fall crop such as spinach. Another technique is to stagger plantings at 1- or 2-week intervals to prolong the harvest. Advanced intensive gardeners also interplant compatible short-, mid-, and full-season vegetables in the same bed at the same time. They then harvest and replant the faster-growing plants two, three, or even four times during the season.

Does anyone know what the output of these releases are? (voltage-amperage) I would assume they are the same or similar since they both operate most launchers and wingers.
If anyone know a particular servo or solenoid these will operate (along with a source of where to get one) we'll skip ahead as that is where I'm heading.
Also it appears most wingers and such have something similar to a 3.5mm headphone plug that plugs into the release. Is that what it actually is?

Shares of disk drive maker Seagate Technology (STX) are up 91 cents, or 1.8%, at $50.93, after RBC Capital Markets's Amit Daryanani raised his rating on the shares to Outperform from Sector Perform, and raised his price target a dollar to $60, writing that the valuation, at 9.5 times this year's projected earnings, is "extremely attractive," especially with the prospect of rising margins as a result of industry consolidation.
Consolidation, of course, is a well known story in the drive industry in the last few years, and Daryanani repeats the familiar truth that "Recent consolidation in the industry has resulted in STX and Western Digital (WDC) being able to operate at a higher and more stable gross margin."
But Daryanani focuses on the prospect for the company to restrain its operating expenses:
STX's ability to reign in OPEX from 14.5% of sales in March-qtr to ~13% will be key. In our view, STX remains committed to lowering OPEX ratio and will look to implement selective cost cutting if demand doesn't improve. Furthermore, a positive ruling from MOFCOM could drive OPEX down by ~$40M. As we get to H2:14 there are multiple options STX will execute on to control costs: i. MOFCOM driven savings, ii. potential ceasing of $21/M quarter legal expenses, iii. selective cost cutting initiatives, and iv. demand improves.
He also likes the company's rising profile in selling to enterprise:
We think STX will continue to benefit from the modest growth in performance optimized (mission critical) drives and will improve its position on the capacity optimized drives via the launch of new products like the 6TB capacity optimized drives that will get launched in June/2014. We expect enterprise revenues to remain flat q/q in March-qtr (in line with their guide), see modest q/q uptick in June-qtr and likely benefit from a material ramp in H2:14 driven by demand trends and new product launches.
