Westone 3 True-Fit Earphones
" I don't like to buy headphones solely based on people's recommendations without auditioning them first, but the reality is, you often have to because you just don't have the opportunity to audition exactly the models you are interested in due to where you live. The Westone 3 is one such case where I had to rely on internet reviews, and I regret the purchase. The problem with trusting online..." --Lunatique
" Was generally attracted to these headphones by the wooden look and the odd buds at the end. Fifteen minutes later I was fairly shocked at the big package I got in such a small one. While these are great for portability, they are annoying when they get tangles (but that happens to all of them unless they are self retractable). All in all, great earbuds. " --thatnewguy15

Hello from Yuma, AZ
I recently started a 20-gallon about 6 weeks ago after being out of the hobby for years. So much has changed and I'm trying to learn all that I can before diving back into the passion that I once had and now have time to pursue again.
I'm trying to resolve a small algae bloom which started as brown, now green. I think I'm on the upper end of it but I ran a test which concerns me still, even after doing regular water changes:
1. Nitrate: 10
2. Nitrite: 3
4. KH (Carbonate): 180-190
5. General Hardness: 120
Living in the deep Southwest, the hardness doesn't surprise me. I bought a couple of plants today and will up the water changes. They always seem like they're starving to death but obviously I need to cut down on the feeding.
I have 9 Rasbora's as the pet store said they were good for cycling; they've been in there about five weeks. They haven't fussed much with the whole new tank syndrome but I want the Nitrate/Nitrite down to nothing, right?
I'm told with our hard water (unless I reverse osmosis), not to fuss with anything but Cichlids when I buy a larger tank but the Rasbora's at least don't seem to mind the hard water. I'm not sold on the idea that other types of fish won't do well with our water and have read various opinions.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to reading more and getting to know some of you. Please feel free to add your thoughts if you have any :)
Hello , welcome aboard. I hope you will enjoy the forum.Do as I say. Not as I do.
Hello and welcome to the AC . have fun and enjoy.ask ?'s and change some water pair of JD's and loving it.
Welcome to the AC....
You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
Welcome to the AC!
I am still learning here but you are correct that you want ammonia and nitrites at zero when your cycle is complete. For nitrAtes, anything below 20 ppm is ok, so you are good there. The only way to reduce nitrAtes is through water changes, so you need to do a water change anytime they are above 20 ppm or so. Most people here, I believe, accomplish this through weekly water changes of anywhere from 20% to 50% or so.
You did not mention ammonia levels. Have you tested for them?
Since you are cycling your tank with fish in it, you should try to keep ammonia and nitrites below 0.5 ppm at all times until your cycle is established by doing frequent water changes. They are both toxic to fish, and dangerous at levels about 0.5ppm or so. You said nitrites are at 3ppm, which is very high for your fish! You should do a few water changes until you get that down. I will let others with more knowledge decide how much to change and when to change it to get there, but I would perhaps start with a 50% change right away to get those nitrites down as soon as possible and avoid losing any fish.
The live plants you bought today will help will all three: ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates, so you will see an improvement just from having them in there.
Unfortunately i have nothing to contribute in regards to the algae, so i will let others chime in on that one.
+1 to the above...those fish aren't going to live long in those conditions...what kind of test kit are you using?....we need to know your ammonia levels, I'm betting they are through the roof...if that nitrIte level is correct, you need to do a 80-85% water change right now
Also please read and follow the cycling with fish sticky, located here: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I am aging water now to do a big water exchange tomorrow, though I figured between 20-30%, perhaps by reading I need to do more. I found a dead fish from the first week I had the tank that I couldn't ever find; the corpse was down beneath a plastic plant that I couldn't see.
I scraped a good deal of the algae off last night and the water has cleared quite a bit.
I just tested again and the strip reads as follows:
1. Nitrate=0
2. Nitrite= 3
The only thing that came down was Nitrate to nothing, and it seems the water became more hard. Water chemistry is definitely a science that's going to take some more learning on my part.
I am using the API 5 in 1 Aquarium Test Strips and doesn't have a mark for Ammonia, just Nitrate/Nitrite. This was the best that Petsmart offered which is basically the only game for aquarists in our little city.
Thanks for everyone's input. I'll increase to two water changes a week until the chemistry comes into check. The water is clear and the fish are healthy so I'm scratching my head.
So here's the truth of your situation. Test strips aren't accurate. The first and most vital purchase you can make is for the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. It is a liquid kit and it's really going to give you the right answers for your values. You can find this for a resonable price on Amazon with Prime shipping. You need to get an ammonia reading asap.
The second purchase I would recommend is a bottle of Seachem Prime. This is the most popular dechlorinator. In addition to removing chlorine and chloramines from your water, this is going to help to detoxify the Ammonia that is most certainly high in your tank and reduce its harmful effects on your fish. Prime is sold at my local petsmart, but if it's not at yours you can also get it on Amazon.
The reality of the situation is that you are going to probably need to do daily (or every other day) water changes between 50 and 80% on your tank until it's cycled. Cycling with fish is very hard on them and it's crucial to keep those numbers under .25 the whole time. Because you are intentionally lowering the ammonia and nitrite in your tank through water changes, cycling with fish in the tank is also going to be a longer process.
The way you decide the size of your water change is by running a test. For example, if you have 1 ppm of ammonia or nitrite, you need to change 75% of your water to reduce it to .25 ppm. If you have larger values like 3.0 you could do multiple back to back water changes, each time diluting that concentration until it's under .25.
The other option you do have to save yourself so many water changes is to return the fish you have and do a fishless cycle (see sticky in the cycling forum). This will be a lot less stress on you and the fish.
You can start a thread in the cycling forum or the beginner section with all of the information on your tank and keep updating it with test results and water change schedules so the forum members here can talk you through the process every step along the way.~Manna

Despite the setback in Maine for LGBT equality, there were wins for the majority of the 79 LGBT candidates who were running for public office around the country. Notably, two African-American candidates―Charles Pugh and Jass Stewart―were among that group of newly elected officials. Charles Pugh went from being a former FOX2 television journalist to the first openly gay president-elect of the Detroit City Council. The Detroit News reported:
A trio of first-time candidates topped the council ticket. Former broadcaster Charles Pugh, whose mother was murdered when he was a child, will become council president in January. He was followed by former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown, whose firing led to the fall of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and former council aide Saunteel Jenkins. Pugh, who also got the most votes in the primary, came into his victory speech playing "Victory" by Yolanda Adams. "We are No. 1," said Pugh. "The change we have been waiting for is finally here. This change has been long overdue." Pugh also alluded to recent scandals involving the foreclosure of his Brush Park condo, saying: "You stick by the people you believe in no matter what. Thank you Detroit for always having my back."And support is what he had. Pugh received about 88,704 votes—nearly 10 percent of the vote overall. However, there was a concern from others that Pugh being openly gay might hurt his chance on winning. In an interview with The Michigan Messenger, Pugh said the following:
For those people who thought it would be an issue, they were short sighted. They did not see that Detroiters already knew my sexuality and were willing to accept it and say, "You know what? You're welcome here. We love you. Now let's get to work to fix our collective problems.He went on to say in the same interview, that his win sent a clear message:
There has been a fear in the past by people in the LGBT community to stay in the closet for safety sake. So they won't be fired, kicked out of the family, kicked out of the church. But this is a strong and clear message that that's not required. That you can be who you are and be accepted into Detroit's family if you step up with class and dignity and a willingness to help make our city a better place.History was also made in Brockton, Massachusetts. Jass Stewart, 38, became the first African-American person and the first openly gay member of the city council in its 128 year history. The Enterprise News reported that Stewart, who ran for mayor of the city in the past and lost, was happy, yet subdued when he learned that he had won.
Stewart stood among the crowd at Progressions Lounge on Montello Street, accepting the well-wishes of supporters like Madden who came in moments after the results were confirmed. "I heard I won, but I haven't seen the numbers," said Stewart, a 38-year-old openly gay black man, subdued on a night when celebration was clearly in order. He had made it to the City Council with 5,920 votes or 15.6 percent. The gathering of some 25 people cheered, congratulating the man who twice ran and lost the mayor's race and finally made it to City Hall as a councilor-at-large.GLAAD congratulates Pugh and Stewart!

I think this will get more qualified responses here rather than the buying/selling area. And I'm not buying or selling anything, so all the more reason.
I have been in contact with someone I met online who has a couple extra boxed Aliens drop ships and Narcissuses (I hope that's the correct plural). They said they'd quote me a price if I told them how many I want.
I need a drop ship, and if anyone else is intereted, please let me know ASAP how many & max $ you can spend. The seller knows the value of these, so I doubt they'll go too cheap. But I was hoping to get them down to about $40 max on a drop ship, and I don't know on the Narcissus - they sometimes go low & sometimes high on eBay - but hopefully $20 or under for those. I won't know until get back to them with the best possible quantity we're willing to buy at one time.

DIY Dress Shirt Skirt // Thift Store Makeover
Sunday, October 16, 2011DIY Dress Shirt Skirt //
I love making new things out of something old! I came across this skirt on Pinterest and thought it looked a lot like a Men's dress shirt. I decided to see if I could make it myself! It was actually really easy and P.S. thrift stores always have an abundant supply of dress shirts, so try it for yourself!
What You'll Need //
{1} Men's dress shirt{2} Ruler{3} Scissors{4} Sewing Machine & thread{5} Needle and pins
What You'll Do //
{1} Lay your dress shirt out flat and cut across the chest, just under the arms. Remove the collar, cutting at the seam. Once removed, cut the collar in two equal parts for each side of the waist.
{2} Sew four pleats into the shirt; two in the front and two in the back. Use a ruler to make sure you are placing them evenly. I used a mannequin and pinned the pleats where I needed them. Once you have the pleats pinned, press with and iron, and then use a sewing machine to sew all four in place.
{3} Use a ruler to determine the right place for the two half collar pieces - place them wherever you want but make sure they are evenly spaced from the middle button. Pin in the right place and sew with a sewing machine. Cut the excess off from the back when done.
{4} Use a needle and thread to connect the back of the collar pieces to the skirt; just the bottom edge so a belt can go through.
{5} Take a piece of fabric from the unused sleeve to make a belt loop. Use a ruler to make sure you place it in the middle and sew by hand; add a button. If needed, add a button to the front to secure the top of the skirt.
{6} Do a final ironing, throw on a belt, and you're ready to go!

This is really cute! But I'm afraid my hip size would take such a big men's shirt to fit my size, it wouldn't look quite as nice as yours. LOVE the idea though!

That is sooo stinking CUTE! Love it! :)
Katelyn Wheaton said...
Thanks! It was really fun to make!
The Ardent Magpie said...
I absolutely LOVE this skirt! I would love to make this for a birthday present for someone. This may sound like a silly question, but I'm only just beginning my adventures in sewing - - can you tell me what the name of that type of pleat is? Or how you go about doing them? I've watched a bunch of videos online but can't seem to figure out how you did that particular one. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Katelyn Wheaton said...
Yes of course! I'm not sure if it has a "name" but what you'll need to do is turn the fabric inside out. Use a form or your body to figure out where the pleats should go. Make them evenly spaced where you want them and pin and/or mark with a pencil. Then take it off and sew where you've marked it. It's important to sew very gradually toward the end of the pleat, edging closer and closer, so that you don't end up with a bubble in the fabric. I generally mark where I need to end so I'm able to plan accordingly...
It's kind of hard to explain this way. Maybe I'll make a tutorial! Hope this helps!

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you for the kind offer, likewise anytime you get out to Cape Cod!
I would love to apply some of the atlantic coastal techniques to Puget Sound, my ol' stompin grounds. I would imagine that in the Narrows ripline a quick descent line or even lc-13 would put a good looking candlefish fly on a long shank hook with an active tail in shimmering emerald greens, chartreuse and silver/white (small eyes, etc) twitched in the rips when there are fish up high in the column dawn/dusk would do the trick - if you could keep the coho off the line. Man, if I still lived there I would be spending a lot of time figuring this out.
I can visualize Mt.Rainier looming pinks and pastels over the evening horizon on a hot summer day with mint bright salmon threading through the jade depths, the smell of the saltchuck and the sound of shearing water in the rips.
Chums are in my vocuabulary. Caught 2 just shy of 20lbs last November at, get this, the Green River at Flaming Geyser. Managed 3 others in the mid-teens at Kennedy Creek, also. Sort of like hooking into a passing freight train.
Would place a red carpet on the boat for you if you had time this coming fall.
Congrats! Great to hear about kings on the fly. I can see the irridescent silver and big spots on those tails and the silvery purple hues on the flanks between that emerald back and mercury silver sides. Man, I would love to jump back in my boat and zip around the sound salter salmon right now!
Please, keep us posted on all the happenings - as the big summer kings roll in, as the hooknoses appear - maybe even a 20 pound chrome chum will scream you around the sound this fall!
I recall a big chrome chum I caught at Bush Pt (area 9) several years ago... I thought it was a huge king the way it fought.
When I visit this fall I hope we can hook up for some saltchuck salmon on the fly.
Kings in Puget Sound
Kings are showing in really good numbers in Puget Sound's Marine Area 11 since the season opener on 6/1/01. Reports say there were over 80, mostly in the 8-12# range, taken that day alone; several moochers are reporting catches in the 15-18# range. Clay Banks looks like the Safeco Field parking lot during a Mariner's home game with all the boats that have been out there every day - easily 60 at any given time. 12 trailers parked at the Gig Harbor boat launch yesterday tells me the season is underway in a BIG way. I weighed the one I caught yesterday at nearly 11#. Fell for a white & olive Krystal Flash Clouser that I was casting just off Point Dalco with a 8-wt, LC-13 shooting head setup - must have been the villiage idiot, but my first King on a fly none-the-less. YES! ;D

Signature spell
this wiki
- "Expelliarmus is a useful spell, Harry, but the Death Eaters believe it's your signature move and I urge you not to let it become so!"
- —Remus Lupin to Harry Potter after the Battle of the Seven Potters[src]
A signature spell (or signature move) is the spell most commonly cast by a witch or wizard, especially when used in the context of duelling. Even though the spell may be the one the caster is best at, its predictability can make its user vulnerable.
According to Remus Lupin in 1997, Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters knew Harry Potter's signature spell was the Disarming Charm, and he urged Harry not to allow that to be the case. Despite this, Harry continued to make good use of the charm, and ultimately used it to defeat Voldemort.
The Killing Curse was known throughout most of the wizarding world to be Voldemort's signature spell, due to his frequent and indiscriminate usage of it; he certainly massacred enough to create an army of Inferi. He also invented the Morsmordre curse for his subordinates, to which it became somewhat of a signature as they usually cast it over locations where they commit murder.
Sectumsempra was invented by Severus Snape, and was thought to be his signature move, as Lupin noted after the Battle of the Seven Potters.
Death Eater Antonin Dolohov's repeated use of Antonin Dolohov's curse may also have made this a signature spell of his.
Ginevra Weasley was well-known for her ability to cast a particularly potent Bat-Bogey Hex, which could be considered her signature spell as she used it several times on people who annoyed her and was referred as "an accomplished caster" of the spell.
Behind the scenes
- The Full Body-Bind Curse seems to be the signature move of most if not all Pottermore users, as it is the most popular out of all (not without reason, as it is the most effective spell when duelling, if properly cast); Furnunculus is the least popular.
- In the Nintendo DS version of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, most characters have a spell only they can use. This could be considered a "signature spell" of sorts. These spells include:
- Harry Potter: Reparo
- Hermione Granger: Alohomora
- Neville Longbottom: Herbivicus
- Filius Flitwick: The Protective enchantments around Hogwarts Castle
- Seamus Finnigan: Reducto
- Ronald Weasley and Minerva McGonagall lack these signature spells, instead having the ability to use the Deluminator and the Animagus transformation respectively.

Lawmakers consider change to merit scholarship
Bill would cut Academic Excellence scholarship recipients by nearly half
MADISON, Wis. - An important merit scholarship could change drastically under a bill considered at the State Capitol Monday.
Assembly Bill 697 would cut the number of students getting money under the Academic Excellence scholarship handed out by the state by nearly half, from 800 to 450 students. But it would increase the amount of the scholarship from $2,240 a year to 50 percent of the cost of tuition at the state school of their choice.
The scholarship has been given out for 25 years and was capped in the '90s. Lawmakers said it's time to make the amount more meaningful.
"Those higher performers, this dollar amount isn't doing as much as it could or should, and thus we are are losing the best and brightest from this state," said Rep. Duey Stroebel, R-Saukville.
The bill would directly affect Monona Grove students Claire Vavrus and Elijah Isenberger. Both are in the running for the two scholarships now available at their school and are debating between both in and out-of-state options.
"It's a pretty big amount of money because $2,250 is how much I made working the whole summer, so it's a significant amount to me and every little bit helps," Vavrus said.
The bill's reduction in total scholarships would mean Monona Grove could only award one scholarship instead of two. Vavrus is second in line for the scholarship at her school, and is debating between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Purdue University.
"I think that would mostly mean that I'm out of the running, so I might take a bigger look at Purdue and see what more they have to offer," Vavrus said.
In total, she thinks the idea of offering fewer scholarships for more money isn't the way to keep more students in-state.
"It provides opportunity to more people," Vavrus said.
But Isenberger, who is first in line for the scholarship at Monona Grove, disagrees. He's debating between Madison, Stanford and Harvard, and admits that any money is helpful. But he said if the goal is keeping students in-state, then an increase in the award is a good idea.
"We're talking about the best of the best in Wisconsin," Isenberger said. "They have a lot of other options of Ivy League places they could go to, and the financial aid programs there have large endowments and can throw some money around. If you're talking money as a determining factor I think bumping it up to 50 percent is going to attract more people in the state."
Stroebel said last school year 357 students offered the scholarship declined, and it's unclear why.
At Monona Grove, the top student in the high school didn't apply to any in-state schools and won't be eligible.
The state Higher Education Aids Board, who administers the scholarship, said Monday they had concerns about reducing the number of awards.
The bill will still need a vote in committee before advancing.

Nature worship, system of religion based on the veneration of natural phenomena—for example, celestial objects such as the sun and moon and terrestrial objects such as water and fire.
In the history of religions and cultures, nature worship as a definite and complex system of belief or as a predominant form of religion has not been well documented. Among the indigenous peoples of many countries, the concept of nature as a totality is unknown; only individual natural phenomena—e.g., stars, rain, and animals—are comprehended as natural objects or forces that influence them and are thus in some way worthy of being venerated ...

108 watts on 29gallon?
I have 108 watts on a 29gallon. They are both 6.7 watts. Is that too much? I mean to keep swords, cabomba, hemianthus baby tears, and possibly some rotalas.
My water is green, pea soup green. I think it is because I had 10,000K bulb on there for the majority of the time, which gives off a lot of blue light. Will the removal the bulb make the problem better?
You are at high level of light, even with 6700K bulbs. But I would certainly recommend switching to 6700K bulbs
Are you using ferts or CO2 in this set-up as well ?If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Agreed with Cliff--with that amount of light (assuming it's compact fluorescent), additional fertilizers and carbon sources will likely be needed, or algae will take over.

I haven't used any ferts yet, except for once last week I dosed with a plant supplement from API.
Right now, I have two smaller swords in there and a few bunches of cabomba, separated. Should I start dosing with that API again, weekly? My water is green green. I can't get it to go away.

also they are not necessarily compact fluorescent. they are T5s.
0Originally Posted by sweeneyc
In the meantime, limiting how much time the light is on per day will help with the green water somewhat. (How many hours/day is it on usually?)
There are more intensive solutions--like getting daphnia or a UV sterilizer. But I would first try getting more plants, of the relatively undemanding, fast-growing type, and cutting back the light, and see if that fixes the problem.

This is why I aksed in sweeneyc's other thread on the subject just how many hours per day the lights are on. I also suggested a black out of tank lights for for a few days with several big water changes during the black out period.
sweeneyc is going to need to limit the amount of time the lights are on until he does plant some plants in the tank.
High lighting will require high light plants, co2, ect.

In my opinion, you will never succeed in defeating the algae issue with that amount of light intensity and the wrong color temperature. Keeping the lights on for less time will slow algae growth but since you have the wrong color temp, the plants will do very badly rersulting in you defeating part of what you are trying to do - grow have healthy plants.
You need to get the correct color lights and lower the intensity down to 2/3 watts per gallon. Even then, at some point, you will very likely need to add some trace nutrients (like Fe and K) for the plants.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

I've replaced the one 10,000k with another 6.7. I'm currently blacking out my tank and I will be adding more planta today. Should I remove one of the bulbs? It would drop me down to one 54 watt 6.7. I know you said 2-3 w/gal and 54 isn't quite enough but should still work, right?
You don't want a tank filled with algae; getting correct temperature tubes (6700 K like you said) gives the ideal 'light spectrum' for the plants. In this way, the plants can get far less total wattage of wasted band width yet you will be giving the plants far more energy where they need it (red and lesser blue); net result will be that the plants will grow far btter with the lower wattage (one tube) and algae will be stressed (due to lack of extra energy all over the spectrum - especially the blue - and that the plants use up most the nutrients like nitrates.) This will help the algae issue not to come back. Do consider, with moderate lighting to use ferts from time to time to provide Fe, K, Mg, S; Ca should be in the water unless very soft and phosphates are huge if you have fish.
If the plants do poorly, consider both tubes but try one and see if the plants do well. Be sure to provide a full eight hours but avoid needing more than that.
That all said, after checking the firat post, I find that 108 watts in 29 gal is 3.7 watts per gal; where did you get 6/7 watts per gal? In other words, two tubes (correct color temp) will be the very high end of the range but maybe doable if you use ferts carefully (don't over dose! and use tabs only for plants that can use them.)

Developing MComix. Part 1: A rose by any other name...
Comix is a comic and image viewer program written using Python and GTK. I was interested in making a few changes to the project. I am getting back into programming, learning a more about PyGTK and hopefully making some improvements the program will fit better on a small screen netbook. Unfortunately Comix is unmaintained, the developer of the project seems to be unavailable and has not made any updates since 2009. (You can discover this for yourself by checking the Comix website particularly by checking the Sourceforge page for Comix and taking a look at the last date on the Changelog, and various reports in the bug tracker. It may still be possible to get in contact with him but the project is not active.)
I was pleased to discover MComix a fork of Comix, continuing on from Comix version 4.0.4. It isn't clear what the M in MComix stands for but from the picture in the about dialog I think "Monkey Comix" is a fairly safe guess.
(Later I also discovered another fork of Comix by HellHover which incorporates many of the patches submitted to Comix. It is more like a spork than a fork, as it keeps close to the original.)
The attitude and prompt reponse from the MComix developers was encouraging so I got to work putting together a few changes and sending in a patch (after a discussion clarifying that MComix is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2).
Freedom to change the source code and even fork the project is a great power to have but it comes with responsibility. Getting others to help is not easy, you want people to submit code, help with translations, or get a project packaged nicely for different operating systems, and generally help with the work of maintaining a project, so even though forking is possible it is not something you want to do unless absolutely necessary. Knowing it would take some time and effort to make changes it is a great relief to know there is a good chance others will accept the change help maintain it. Putting a lot of work into a patch and having it go to waste, is a big disappointment and severly discourages anyone from contributing to a project.
The patches took less time to write and test than the email explaining the rationale for the changes. Developers often like to do things their own way, and a without a proper explanation, patches might not be accepted. As a fork of Comix I was optimistic the developers would be more accepting of change but I wasn't going to take any chances.
The first - and to my mind most important - change was relatively simple but something I would strongly recommend to any program, especially a fork: separate out the name of the program. I set a constant and called it "APPNAME" and replaced the word MComix, so that if the name ever needs to be changed again or even changed back to Comix it can be done with only a few small changes.
The long and winding history of Mosiac, Netscape, Mozilla, m/b, Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox, Iceweasel, is a particularly extreme example of the many name changes a project can go through. If someone doesn't like the name the can easily change it without needing to fork the project. Making it a little bit easier for others to customize and fork the code gives them one less reason why they would need to, and they can continue to pool their efforts on the things they do agree on.
The patch also contained changes to help with internationalisation (i18n) and localisation (l10n).
There was also a small change to the command line arguments.
When the patch was accepted I was very satisfied and confident the developers were the kind of people I would enjoy working with further. Answers to a few other questions in my email confirmed our interests were different but mutually beneficial. Straight away I was thinking about the next changes I might make.

By Emily Tubb/Monroe Journal
AMORY – Following a Monday night raid at the Tenn-Tom Inn, Larry Thomas Lee, 51, was arrested by officers with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office for failing to register as a sex offender.
Lee was registered at 60180 Hatley Detroit Rd. but has been living at the Tenn-Tom Inn since April 15. Law states that a sex offender cannot stay anywhere more than five consecutive days without registering. He failed to notify the department of public safety of his intention to move.
According to the MCSO, Lee has been getting around a lot lately. Three weeks ago, there were reports that he was at the Mall at Barnes Crossing talking to children and taking pictures of them. The Tupelo Police Department recognized him and notified the MCSO, but security had run him off by the time law enforcement arrived.
He was also found to be in possession of a very small amount of marijuana in his pack of cigarettes.
On Oct. 24, Lee was charged by the MCSO with 24 counts of abusive calls to an emergency service following several calls to Monroe County E-911 between Oct. 21 and Oct. 26

Family: Laridae, Gulls and Terns view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has very pale gray back and upper wings with white trailing edge and wingtips. Plumage is otherwise white. Bill is yellowish with orange spot on gonys, and iris is pale yellow with orange eyering. ADULT WINTER Similar, but head and neck are streaked grubby brown; bill and eye colors are duller. JUVENILE Pale mottled brown, but first-winter plumage is whitish overall with pale buff marbling on back and upper wing coverts, and pale buff barring on tail; plumage becomes paler as winter progresses. Bill is dark-tipped pink and eye is dark. Second-winter is paler still, variably pale gray on back and upper wing, with buff barring on tail; iris is usually pale. Third-winter resembles winter adult, but retains faint buff barring on tail.
Dimensions Length: 28" (71 cm)
Habitat Common breeder on Arctic coastal tundra. Outside breeding season, mainly coastal and range extends along northern half of Atlantic seaboard although precise distribution is unpredictable and in part influenced by severity of winter weather further north.
Observation Tips Easy to see within northerly winter range, typically in good numbers within harbors or at garbage dumps.
Range Alaska, Great Lakes, Texas, Plains, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, New England, Florida, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, California, Southeast
Voice Utters deep kyaoo and ga-ka-ka calls.
Discussion Large, bulky, and pale gull. All birds have pale wings, pink legs, large head, and massive bill. At rest, wings project only slightly beyond tail (wings are noticeably longer than tail in Iceland). Juvenile acquires adult plumage over 3-year period. Sexes are similar.

If your dealing with Windows API, wouldn't it be a lot easier to use one of the "Visual Studio" suites ?msgbox("Can't we all just get along?")
Unfortunately not everyone uses Visual Studio (especially if they want to make game/software that is actually portable). Also in most cases people seem to want to reinvent the wheel, like here: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A-First-Date.aspx.
Anyway from C-Like languages I particularly like Java and C#. First because of its clean, object-oriented syntax (though getters/setters gets to me and I don't use them in my own classes) and latter maybe because it was designed by guy who worked on Delphi (though I felt in love with C# thanks to Unity and learned about that same guy who worked on Delphi worked on C# also just recently). I kinda like Ruby too, but since it is only used in RPG Maker series and I rarely use RPG Maker, I don't have any occasions to practice it.
Then what do you use instead of getters and setters? Public variables?

Students in the Princeton University Preparatory Program, which provides academic and cultural enrichment for high-achieving, low-income students from high schools in Ewing, Princeton and Trenton, concluded their six-week summer session with a research symposium. The forum, held Aug. 14, was an opportunity for students to showcase their work to each other and to practice their public speaking skills.

Prepared with polished presentation skills
Posted August 21, 2008; 04:00 p.m.
High school student Manna Selassie stood before a poster that bore the words "Arabs on the Silver Screen." She had decorated it with cartoon depictions of Arabs, a list of 17 movies she had studied and quotes from some of the Arab American students she had interviewed for her research project about the depiction of Arabs in film and other mediums.
"Many people get their information about the outside world from the media, and a lot of media portray Arabs negatively," said Selassie, who will be a junior next year at Trenton Central High School.
Selassie is one of 65 students participating in the Princeton University Preparatory Program (PUPP), which concluded six weeks of summer classes, lectures and field trips with a research symposium on Aug. 14 where students presented projects in biology, physics/engineering and the social sciences. For Selassie and others, it was an opportunity to showcase their work to each other and to practice their public speaking skills.
"I've learned a lot about tolerance and other people's views and perceptions" doing this project, said Selassie, who produced an annotated bibliography and an outline and then wrote "the longest research paper I've ever done." The program's instructors "give you confidence that you can speak in front of people," she said. "They make you think everything is achievable."
Students presented projects in biology, physics/engineering and the social sciences at the symposium.
A few yards away, Princeton High School student Leslie Castrejon presented the results of her experiment, which examined how a fish's respiration rate changed when the water temperature was raised or lowered. All around her in the Frist Multipurpose Room students were asking each other about their projects.
"How did you know how many respirations the goldfish did?" inquired Zendy Deleon, a student at Trenton Central High School.
"Did you have a control group?" asked Sade Williams, who goes to Ewing High School.
Now in its eighth year, the program provides academic and cultural enrichment for high-achieving, low-income students from high schools in Ewing, Princeton and Trenton. Participants, who attend the summer institute for three years and receive academic and cultural enrichment during the school year, are prepared for admission to and success at selective colleges and universities. This summer the students took a biology course that featured a new unit in forensic science, constructed a roller coaster to study kinetic energy and attended guest lectures by Princeton professors Miguel Centeno, Angel Harris and Tera Hunter.
"We're getting a lot of preparation we wouldn't normally get," Williams said. "I'm getting exposed to professors, and I'm asking them questions. Once I get to college, I'll know how to interact with professors."
Jasmine Evans (left), a member of Princeton's class of 2010 who served as a teaching assistant in the program, talked to two students at the research symposium. Evans was inspired by the students, she said. "They are so willing to step up and be challenged."
"These presentation skills will help so much with interviewing and the college process," said Amber Wedges, a member of Princeton's class of 2008 who spent the summer as a teaching assistant in the program.
Tim Prugar, a member of Princeton's class of 2006 who taught a social science class, said the final projects helped students understand both sides of an issue.
"They picked some hot-button issues, but this wasn't just sitting around the table talking with their friends. They had to back up their opinions with information," Prugar said. When research contradicted their preconceived notions, the students told him that their opinions had been changed, he said.
Serving as a teaching assistant in the program this summer gave Jasmine Evans, a member of Princeton's class of 2010, a new perspective on the teaching career she plans to pursue after finishing college.
"I worked one-on-one with the students in physics, and it was exciting," she said. "I learned a lot about how to teach students at different levels." Above all, she was inspired by the students, she said. "They are so willing to step up and be challenged."
Wedges, Prugar and Evans are affiliated with the University's Program in Teacher Preparation, which administers PUPP and offers Princeton students the opportunity to earn their New Jersey state teaching certificate.
Jason Klugman (standing at right), the program's director, introduced a series of presentations by students at the research symposium. Now in its eighth year, the program also provides academic enrichment during the school year.

Calvin Johnson wasn't even bothered last week by the Lions' terrible season. He was all grins and giggles while being interviewed after yet another loss. A home loss in prime time, no less. That interview defined this era as well as any other. Many of the past greats wouldn't even have done that interview, considering the circumstances. I absolutely guarantee an early '70s Dolphin wouldn't have dared to step in front of a microphone.
As dlockz posted, Jerry Rice is above Johnson and Jim Brown is unquestionably superior to Adrian Petersen.
Also, regarding Dan Marino, the pass defense rules and application of them had already been softened considerably by 1984. Anybody who doesn't believe that is out of his mind, or snuggling up to a Marino pillow. The game was pure and brutal until 1974, when the first wave of changes coddling the offense and particularly the passing game was adopted. The Dolphins were largely responsible, after Curtis Johnson and Tim Foley made a habit of eliminating wide receivers at the line of scrimmage. As a kid I absolutely loved it. I remember screaming in mischievous glee as the opposing quarterback dropped back with nobody to throw to. There were 2-3 man patterns in those days and the Dolphins reduced it to 1. It prompted the so-called Isaac Curtis Rule.
This is a brief description of the changes in 1974. Notice that every one favored the offense and specifically the passing game , including reduction of penalty yardage. Previously a 15 yard holding penalty could all but end a possession before it started:
"roll-blocking and cutting of wide receivers was eliminated; the extent of downfield contact a defender could have with an eligible receiver was restricted; the penalties for offensive holding, illegal use of the hands, and tripping were reduced from 15 to 10 yards..."
There were further changes aiding the passing game in 1977 and notably in 1978:
"The NFL continued a trend toward opening up the game. Rules changes permitted a defender to maintain contact with a receiver within five yards of the line of scrimmage, but restricted contact beyond that point. The pass-blocking rule was interpreted to permit the extending of arms and open hands."
Sorry, but Dan Marino was already playing in a dumbed up league, compared to what I witnessed earlier. Not even debatable. I think they had the correct balance in the '80s and '90s but it was hardly the brutal sport of the '60s and early '70s. The posters who rip Joe Namath, now that's comedic. Candidates for the corn field. They look at those stats and think it was today's rules and style of play, with worthless dump off passes and crossing patterns. Namath was a true downfield gunslinger. His lifetime 14.7 yards per completion is seven tenths higher than the best season Marino ever had (1984), and more than 2 yards beyond Marino's lifetime average. By Marino's era it was already an underneath league with heavy benefit of a doubt to the passer, compared to only 10 or 15 years earlier.
I remember Namath, I watched Namath.....please don't even attempt to put Namath in the same sentence as Marino, let alone try to force feed us anything that would indicate Namath in any way did anything better then Marino.
Namath was a very gifted player, but he was inconsistent, and no where as dominant as Marino. Every defense that played Miami knew one thing about their offense, stop Marino, you stop the Offense, yet VERY VERY rarely did any defense stop or even slow down Marino. Namath relied on the running game, no running game, very rarely was there much offense.
Round 1: Taco Charlton (DE) Talented linemen, and from Michigan (Ross happy).
Round 2: Jarrad Davis (LB) Intense, undersized M-LB)
Round 3: Isaac Asiata (G) Powerful, with good athletic quickness for size.
Round 5: Corn Elder (DB) Very smart, great anticipation, for slot
Round 5: Ben Boulware (LB) Very smart, great instincts.
Round 5: Jon Toth (C) One of the better pass-blocking Centers.
Round 7: Bryan Cox (LB) Good potential, with good genes.
According to doogie, your great athletic accomplishment isn't valid unless you are also a candidate for the nobel prize.
Awsi, recognize great athletes when they are present. Don't ignore facts, which you are so clearly doing.
Athletes now are bigger, stronger, faster, and plain ol' better than they used to be. This is evident in almost every single sport on the planet. Specific evidence can be seen if you only look at track and field athletes. It's pretty simple, actually. It's downright ignorant to think otherwise.
As for rice he wasnt the biggest , the strongest or fastest but again he was the best. Johnson has him beat in all three of those categories
the real fact is that all athletes are as I said, bigger, faster, and stronger than previous athletes.
as for Jerry rice, he was great and his receiving record has just been broken. that qualifies for more than most here are giving credit for. who cares if Johnson was smiling, he just accomplished something huge.
I'm beginning to think that a majority of posters on here don't really know much about what makes up the psyche of a high level athlete.
Greatness is measured over time not a few seasons and both of these guys were the greatest over an extended time. Rice has almost 200 receiving tds he averaged like 9.5 a yearf for almost 19 years lol.

Providence Said to Lose Two Executives From European TeamKiel Porter and Devin Banerjee
Two members of Providence Equity Partners Inc.'s European team in London have left, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Piers Dennison, a managing director, left last month, while Haide Hong, a vice president, departed in recent months, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the moves haven't been made public. Officials at Providence declined to comment, and Dennison didn't respond to e-mails through LinkedIn seeking comment. Hong couldn't be located through directory assistance and Internet searches.
Dennison, who oversaw Providence's investor relations effort in Europe, is one of at least eight managing directors to leave the Providence, Rhode Island-based private-equity firm since 2012. Some of the recent departures haven't been voluntary, two of the people said, as Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Nelson is reorganizing Providence's team to invest a smaller fund.
Providence, which oversees $28 billion in assets, finished raising $5 billion in July for its latest leveraged-buyout fund, less than the $6 billion it initially sought when it started gathering the money in 2011. The pool is less than half the size of its previous $12.1 billion fund raised in 2007.
Other senior departures have included Christopher Halpin, a partner in the firm's media group, and Patrick Corso, head of the Hong Kong office. Julie Fisher, who led investor relations, left after 13 years.
Dennison joined Providence in 2011 from London-based Candover Investments Plc, where he oversaw global investor relations, and previously was a manager at Boston Consulting Group Inc., according to a profile removed from Providence's website. The company in May hired former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive Renee Beaumont as a managing director and global head of business development.

you could cherry pick embarrassing vids for everyone though
Why don't you want Mingo?
Because he gets dominated by TE's 1 on 1.
Mingo. Wouldn't touch this guy with a 23 ft pole.
He had the most production of any edge defender outside of Jones and maybe Demontre Moore.
Werner was one of the most versatile and disruptive defensive ends in the nation who ranks seventh in the NCAA in sacks per game and second in total sacks (13). In 2012, he finished with 42 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 13 sacks and eight pass breakups. He entered the Orange Bowl leading the nation in yards accumulated on tackles behind the line of scrimmage (134). Only one player in FSU history has recorded more sacks in their first three seasons than Werner and that is Peter Boulware.
After just two years of high school football in the US, Werner amassed 35 TFL, 23.5 sacks, 18 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in three seasons in Tallahassee. He moved into the top 10 all-time at FSU for TFL in just his third season and just 27 career starts. Over his last two seasons, Werner recorded a sack or TFL in 17 of FSU's 27 games and he recorded a tackle in 34 consecutive games. He was one of just four defensive linemen in the NCAA to have eight or more pass break-ups and none of the other three players had more than five sacks compared to 13 for the FSU defensive end and none had more tackles for loss. He had arguably the best game of his stellar FSU career recording 3.5 sacks, a career-high tying six tackles and a fumble recovery for nine yards versus No. 4 Florida in the regular season finale.
He had the most production of any edge defender outside of Jones and maybe Demontre Moore.

If we pick up Wallace in fa then Allen all day and solidify our wr core for years to come.
But if just drafting one and with just this video to judge, I would take Patterson
When you watch Patterson, his abilities jump out at you. Allen is sure handed and all that, but he doesn't do nearly as much as Patterson with the ball in his hands. We have guys who can catch. We need guys who can make big, game changing plays.. I'd take Patterson. Players can get stronger, be coached on how to be physical at the line, and how to run better routes. Players can't be taught the freak RAC abilities that Patterson demonstrates during games.
I wouldn't take EITHER in RD1. Hopkins has replays that look great too, and he could be had in RD 2 as could others. Get a player that can rush the passer in RD 1 to team with Wake and our D will be terrifying! There are plenty of WCO WR options this year to be had RD 2 or later.
Patterson's running style reminds me of Terrell(sp) Buckley.
Patterson is definitely growing on me with his YAC ability, plus he does appear to have SOME deep speed. Ideally we trade down into the 20's and take Patterson.
Plus he has kickoff and punt return abilities.
I tell ya what, we take Patterson in the first, then Cooper the OG with 2A and Fauria with 2B, and this offense will have no excuses at that point. Grab a corner like Trufant/Hawthorne and a DE like Tank Carradine or a LB like Mauti in the 3rd.
1. Patterson WR
2. Cooper, OG
2. Fauria, TE
3. Hawthorne CB
3. Carradine, DE
At that point, Miami will have answered many of the gaping holes.
Allen looked a lot like Bess on that video. Run short quick routes, good hands, but FALLS DOWN so quickly!! We need a guy who can go up and get it, that can bust open a play, be elusive, and most of all has a nose for the end zone!! Patterson looked good in that video, but he seems to run extremely upright. Anyone else think this would be a problem?
Not a fan of either to be honest.
I'd rather go with Te'o if we are there with Wallace in FA than any rookie WR in rd.1.
I like Rodgers in rd 2 maybe if he lasts there.
My draft would be Te'o, Wallace FA, Rodgers 2A, and the TE from Stanford in 2B.
Philbins looking for guys who can beat press coverage quickly

Story highlights
- Airbus show off the cabin configuration for its new A350 XWB jet
- Economy class has nine, 18 inch wide seats across each row
- Near straight cabin walls and larger overhead bins give the plane more space, says the manufacturer
Last week Airbus announced a squeeze which will make most frequent flyers groan, but today the European firm unveiled how passengers flying on its new A350 XWB might travel.
Two test planes have been fitted out with full economy and business class interiors. The economy cabin has a nine-abreast configuration, with 18-inch wide seats, while business class has just four seats per row.
Airbus boasts that the new, extra wide-body planes will have near-vertical walls and larger overhead baggage bins compared to its current fleet of aircraft.
And for passengers with long legs, there shouldn't be any more issues with in-flight entertainment (IFE) boxes blocking the space under the seat in front of them; Airbus has placed all the electronic boxes and connections under the floor.
Another innovation is the full cabin LED lighting that Airbus says can offer a mind-boggling 16.7 million possible colors.
"Passenger comfort is an increasingly important differentiator for the airline industry, becoming a fundamental deciding factor driving passenger choice and business success," said Chris Emerson, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Airbus.
If cabin interiors are a deciding factor for passengers when choosing an airline, then Airbus has also tried to make it easier for airlines to customize them. It has also opened a one-stop interiors showroom and test center in Hamburg, Germany.
The Customer Definition Center has mock-up interiors of the A350 XWB with a full range of materials and fourth generation IFE consoles, plus a virtual reality modeling tool to help airlines visualize their choices.
Airbus says that 39 airlines have placed orders for 812 A350 XWB jets, with three versions offering passenger capacity between 276 and 369 seats. The first will be delivered to Qatar Airways later this year.
The mid-size, long-range jet is set to go head-to-head with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and will be made of 53% composite materials. According to Airbus it achieves a 25% reduction in seat-mile costs and 25% lower carbon dioxide emission than existing, similar sized aircraft.

Brief Description
Some schools, hospitals, and places of employment conduct drug testing. There are a number of ways this can be done, including: pre-employment testing, random testing, reasonable suspicion/cause testing, post-accident testing, return to duty testing, and followup testing. This usually involves collecting urine samples to test for drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, PCP, and opiates.
Drug Testing and Workplace Issues
According to recent data, 67.9 percent of all adult illegal drug users are employed full or part time, as are most binge and heavy alcohol users.1 Studies show that when compared with non-substance users, substance using employees are more likely to:
- Change jobs frequently
- Be late to or absent from work
- Be less productive
- Be involved in a workplace accident and potentially harm others
- File a workers' compensation claim.
Employers who have implemented drug-free workplace programs have important experiences to share.
- Employers with successful drug-free workplace programs report improvements in morale and productivity, and decreases in absenteeism, accidents, downtime, turnover, and theft.
- Employers with long-standing programs report better health status among employees and family members and decreased use of medical benefits by these same groups.
- Some organizations with drug-free workplace programs qualify for incentives, such as decreased costs for workers' compensation and other kinds of insurance.

The U.S. DOT, Office of Drug & Alcohol Policy & Compliance advises on national and international drug testing and control issues, and rules related to the drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive transportation industries.
Drug Testing in Schools
Following models established in the workplace, some schools have started random drug testing or testing students suspected of drug use (called reasonable suspicion/cause testing). The goal of testing is to deter drug use and identify students who use drugs so they can be helped. For more information, see NIDA's:

If you have spent time online, you have undoubtedly come across the acronym "SEO." You might even know that this stands for "search engine optimization." However, you might not understand exactly what this process consists of or why it might be important.
Investing in this process is key for any website that wants to increase the amount of traffic that it receives through SEO services. While you might not care how many people come to read your blog about cats, online businesses definitely do care about making sure that they get enough visitors. Without enough traffic, it is very difficult to generate enough revenue to stay in business.
Much of the traffic on the Internet is still driven by the big search engines. While Google is the 800-pound gorilla in the search industry, other companies are also important, such as Bing and Yahoo. Every day, these companies process millions of different searches for all sorts of keywords.
Whenever someone performs a search online, they receive a listing of search results. The goal of a search engine is to make sure that these results are listed in order of how relevant they are and how high-quality the content is. The best and most valuable pages should be at the top of the listings.
In general, Google does a very good job of this. Because people are aware of this, they tend to focus on those top few results. Most of the time, people will only end up visiting one of the top two or three pages listed on the results page. This means that those slots are responsible for the vast majority of the Web traffic from a given search.
Because of this, obtaining one of those top slots can be quite valuable for a company. A website that is consistently listed as a top result for a given keyword will see a lot more traffic than those that are halfway down the page, or even buried on the second or third page. It is therefore critical that companies find a way to make sure that they are highly ranked by Google.
This is the basic goal of SEO marketing. The object is to make sure that a website is designed in such a way that it will be as highly ranked as possible by the search engines for a given set of keywords. This way, the site will always appear near the top and get a great deal of traffic when people search for those terms.
There are a number of different ways in which this process can be carried out, but they all involve the same basic principles. For example, one important part of the process is selecting the proper keywords. A company needs to make sure that it has focused on the terms that people actually use frequently when they are searching for information online.
Fortunately, the search engines keep track of every search that is performed online, and they generally make much of this data available to companies. You can then analyze this data to see which searches are most popular and which will give the best results. Since search patterns are always changing, it is important to repeat this analysis frequently.
Once the proper keywords have been selected, the next step is to make good use of these terms on a website. This means finding a way to include them in a natural, organic fashion. It is important to keep the keyword density of your content low so that the search engines do not penalize you for "keyword stuffing."
In general, focusing on the quality of your content will give you better results than using too many keywords. It is also important to make sure that your site is regularly updated with new content. The more frequently you update your site, the higher your ranking will generally be.
There are a number of other important techniques that are used in the optimization process, such as making sure that a site is easily navigable and building links to other highly-ranked sites. By incorporating all of these best SEO techniques, you can make sure that your site is able to achieve a high ranking and secure it over the long term.

I know SDCC management has been dragging their feet on the schedule for this year's Comic-Con, so I understand there isn't yet a way to confirm details or even find a time we can all meet up. But we should start talking now about getting together since there's less than a month until Comic-Con. Whether it's lunch, dinner, something else, it's always cool to meet up with our forum friends.
So, who is going, and who would like to meet up?

LAS VEGAS – The final race of the 2013 inaugural season of SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks saw the high-powered formula off-road vehicles tackle the temporary asphalt course at Caesars Palace under the lights of Las Vegas, just steps away from the famous Las Vegas strip.
The day would begin with SST's taking to the track for morning and afternoon practice sessions before two-lap qualifying runs. Keegan Kincaid of Crandon, Wis., driving the Traxxas sponsored No. 47 for Mike Jenkins, laid down the quickest lap with a 23.436. Robby Gordon would qualify in the second position with a 23.558 and Jerrett Brooks qualifying third with a 24.043.
Friday night's SST final would see P.J. Jones and Rob MacCachren pace the 30-lap SST final to green. The original start would be called back as Arie Luyendyk Jr. would charge into Scotty Steele's truck in turn two, as the trucks became lodged together and the red flag came out. After a complete restart Jones would lead lap one, followed by MacCachren and Brooks.
For the next five laps the top three would remain the same as Jones extented his lead to nearly four truck lengths ahead of MacCachren. On lap eight, Brooks would miss his mark in turn two, allowing Gordon to slip by into the third position.
On lap 15 mechanical failure would strike multiple trucks, including championship points leader MacCachren, who would slow on the front stretch ending his run in the second position. At nearly the same time, Gordon and Sheldon Creed would also encounter mechanical woes.
Creed would retire the No. 74 Magnaflow entry early while MacCachren and Gordon would return to the race for valuable championship points.
Restarting in the fifth position Gordon did not waste any time moving back into the top three. The front runners would consist of Jones, Brooks, and Gordon for the next seven laps until Brooks would encounter a mechanical issue, allowing Gordon to take the second position. Brooks would lose several positions before eventually dropping out of competition, allowing Steele to move into the podium contention.
In hot pursuit of Jones for the remaining circuits Gordon's quest for his fourth win of 2013 would evaporate as Jones would go on to capture his first SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks win. Gordon would cross the finish line in second, while Steele would earn his first SST podium finish.
With MacCachren encountering mechanical issues late in the SST final, Gordon would go on to clinch the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks inaugural season points championship by just seven points.
