15. Johnthan Banks CB MSU 6'2" 185
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/p...ospect_id=3057Banks had a huge season for the successful Mississippi State Bulldogs in 2011. The junior cornerback led the team with 14 passes defensed, nine pass breakups, five interceptions, and three forced fumbles. He also compiled 71 tackles (46 solo, eight for loss). Of course, it's not like the performance came out of nowhere. Banks played in 12 games as a freshman (at safety) and started the last seven before starting 12 games at left cornerback as a sophomore. Even before this breakout campaign he had seven career interceptions. The Maben, MS native is a versatile defender who can play either safety or cornerback at the next level. He has outstanding size at 6'2'' and can thus contend with almost any NFL receiver. Banks weighs in at 185 pounds and he has room on his frame to add some bulk, which he should do if he moves back to safety. He generally runs in the 4.5s in the 40-yard dash and he has been clocked as fast as 4.42 from that distance. Banks served as MSU's primary punt returner in 2011, averaging more than 10 yards to go along with a touchdown. If he decides to leave early, Banks could be a late first-rounder in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Flickr find – Needle Power
This design totally rocks in the hands of xperimentl. I am just loving the applique fabrics in the background, and all the different stitches she used.
Yes, the revolution will be stitched. And it will be purple.

Yes, the revolution will be stitched. And it will be purple.
A shiny new blog deserves a shiny new roundup! We're starting fresh here, so let's take a peek at what pretties have shown up in the flickr pool lately…
This little retro disk was a popular little freebie awhile back, and people have made all kinds of adorkable things with it, including this awesome little bag from Kentfield. We actually have a printout of this design taped to the side of one of our computers in back.
Yes, we're that retro.
Some seriously awesome boots from fiftyfirstcrafts, from everyone's favorite sweater boots tute. I am loving the colors and seriously loving the cross design she chose.
Can you believe this quilt? Look closely – that's dozens of our Wonderland designs stitched alll over it!
I drool.
Though not on the quilt though. That wouldn't be nice.
This stunner was stitched up by horsehaircreek and I think we agree we're all in love.
*In soviet Russia, machine embroiders you!*
Adorable little zippered pouch from donmark26. Plus, how cute is that little nesting doll fabric?
We got to show a little love to our hand stitchin' peeps, and I am so in love with this fuzzy little needle punch kitteh.
I seriously don't think that guy could get any cuter. I hope karalynnn has some seriously epic plans for kitty.
Finally, feeling an epic hunger for braaaiiinnzz yet? No? Well, that's probably good for the rest of us anyway…
You know, I have to say, there's something really beautiful about the marriage of zombies and polka dot fabric. I think zombies should try it more often. It would give 'em a little pizzaz.
This precision stitched piece of zombie perfection has been brought to you by TiLT creations.
And the letter Z.
I think we're off to a fine stitchy start here, peeps. Keep adding your fine threads to our the Urban Embroidery flickr pool and you might see them featured here!

The exhibition displays men's and women's clothing from 1780 to 1825 in a dozen period rooms throughout the museum. It considers how Americans fashioned a new identity through costume; on the one hand, Americans sought to be free from Europe, yet they still relied heavily on European manufacturing and materials.
The DAR houses two historic document collections: The Americana Collection and the NSDAR Archives.

My second piece completed for my mixed media photography/poetry project. I was originally thinking of using portions of Google Maps and Streetview as media but decided that I liked this layout already and stuck with it.

The Fans Want Badr Hari vs. Gokhan Saki, Watch and See
- Written by Dave Walsh
in just a little over two months from now Badr Hari and Gokhan Saki will square off in one of Heavyweight Kickboxing's most anticipated bouts in a long time. There is a lot of hype leading into it, as well as a running narrative that both men are looking to exit the realm of Kickboxing for the world of Heavyweight Boxing. No one is quite sure how long, if at all that will hold for either man, but the threats need to be taken seriously for now. Personally, I feel like the rise of FIKA and other possible outlets for Kickboxing will quickly draw them back in, but you never know when a fighter will stick to their convictions. In the meantime, watch this hype video made for the upcoming It's Showtime 55 showdown between Badr and Gokhan and enjoy the ride.

Yesterday, I restored all the web sites that are hosted on my web server: www.gadreau.net, www.catherinegadreau.com, www.mai-cedric.com and www.gattomarte.com.
I am using Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.2 . I will probably also setup a Tomcat server in the future.
Next step is to setup a qmail server so I can handle the emails myself.

Today marks the 8th year of my posting journal entries here. Cool.
Today marks the 8th year of my posting journal entries here. Cool.
This DMCA book is really a PITA. I can see why someone would get depressed!
Also, there are too many cases to include. Who am I to choose which cases to include here. My resources are limited and I am running out of steam.
Don Marti came up with an excellent idea. Why not put DRM- Free on products that do not use DRM. I like it.
http://zgp.org/~dmarti/freedom/petitioning-the-wrong- people/
I am twitting.
I admit it. It's a little strange to have people follow me. Everytime one leaves, I feel hurt and abandoned.
At any rate, the twit is DMCANews. I post random DMCA news factoids with links.
It's something to do.
Still trying to finish the book. Argh.
Not understanding.
So, there was this guy... Joe Juliker, well, that's what the VP called him. His real name is Joe Julicher. I found him to be quite arrogant with regards to GNU/Linux.
Of course, I doubt he knew who I really was, but that is not the point.
When did GNU people start to become arrogant. This guy was more arrogant than RMS or Linus. Maybe... it was a gender bias thing. There is a lot of that going on over at Microchip Technology.
who is Julicher. He's nobody. Well, oh, maybe he's someone at Microchip technology... but that's about it. Maybe he's just one of those people who would be arrogant no matter what...
It's possible.
I just find it amusing that Linus is so humble... John Gilmore - Humble, RMS - humorous... not humble but definitely approachable and honest.
So, why is this one loser arrogant. It really upset me that he purported to be someone important. He's nobody. Why does it still bother me....?
Because I am so sick of these losers... noones... who think they are something, act like jerks.
This is not high school. Even if it were, you would be tantamount to the janitor's assistant. Not that there is anything wrong working with the janitor... but you have no reason to be arrogant about it.
You are really NOT all that. PATENTER!!!!!
Leaving the Evil Empire
Could you keep speaking about a pay cut while a man was having an attack in the audience?
Hypothetically, you are an employee of a semiconductor company or "micro chip" located in in Chandler, AZ.
Ok, let's be real. It was Microchip. Sanghi got up for a communications meeting where he informed employees that there would not only be a 10% pay cut but the raise that the employees were waiting for many months, was not coming. During this announcement, a man began to have an attack. A woman in the audience ran around trying to find help for him.
Did they get security? NO. Did they call the on site nurse? NO. Did they call 911? NO.
Instead, they walked... I repeat WALKED the man out of the meeting during his attack!
This is a serious matter. Did the CEO stop talking...? NO. They were filming, right... There was no explanation, no apology, nothing.
My question is this: How can Microchip employees continue to respect this CEO - Steve Sanghi. Not only do they continue to respect him, some almost worship him. It's a little creepy.
Steve Sanghi should step down and let Steve Drehobol take over. Why Drehobol? Owens can't get pics off a thumb drive or figure out Sharepoint on his own. Ganesh has a big loser of a project that cost millions for naught. Vance is LDS... that's a plus unless you are FEMALE.
Also, I think Canadians with less experience and less education that are being promoted should be sent north.
The funny thing is that in New Product Development, not only are the managers all male, but the Manager and Director are South Africans - from Keeloq. I don't think they can code either. I had a few conversations with one who doesn't seem to understand programming.
I can tell you some sick stories about the gender bias at Microchip but that probably wouldn't surprise you.
However, what may surprise you is the fact that Microchip engineers in New Product can not code. There is maybe 1 or 2 guys from Rose Holman (burke and mike) who can code.
That's right. They CAN NOT CODE. One guy asked me if PHP was difficult. WTF.
Also, more importantly, IMHO they are violating the GPL.
Ask for a copy of the code... see if it compiles...
Microchip ... Ethics = NULL
It has certainly been quite long time since I last wrote.
Ok, so this week, I set up a wiki.
It was 1999, somewhere around there, when I was at the 2600 site, getting more info on freeing Kevin. Well, I saw the information on DeCSS and got involved.
It was easy at first. Not a lot of DMCA cases. I could keep track of all the new ones. That is until about 2001. Then, it got really strange. It was around this time that I called Berkman center about the GAIM case, and spoke with Wendy Seltzer about her new project, Chilling Effects.
Chilling does an excellent job, and so does the EFF. However, I thought that a contributatory system of DMCA information was in need.
I needed help back then. I couldn't track, list, link, comment and post on all the upcoming DMCA information.
On the 20th of July (about a week and half ago), I gave a presentation at The Last Hope. Presentation found here:
http://www.tim.netblues.org/index.php? option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=10&677e12c07f99a 353eb0968c0e8b0df69=3dfdec78cc6ea4d588e09cff32d74596
ok, long link - Tim dot Netblues dot org - then click downloads.
I think they were expecting my typical, passionate "DOWN WITH THE DMCA" speech.
Instead they got boring information about counternotifications and such. I had to. Not many people are fighting the DMCA. This is the way they can fight! I thought about it, and realized, after 10 years, I lost some hope. Lost some passion. Never did I lose interest. I just lost the hope to fight. We made such small steps into progress. After years of work, I felt like I was an anonymous bug caught in the windshield of the DMCA. What could I do?
What I realized when I was doing my research was that there is so much information and it's not found in one place.
The sites that list all the cases are not as easy to access as I would like. I think a WIKI would serve as a good knowledgebase.
Another thing I realized at the conference is that I am never going to get this book out until I get myself organized. I know I was supposed to get my outline and draft to RMS this month and I'm way behind.
There's so much info. I just need to organize it. I'm hoping to get some community help and reviews. If I can get people to contribute to the wiki, that would rock. I wouldn't have to spend hours in a day posting new info. Sometimes I miss cases!
Then, maybe I can concentrate on the book. Also, if I can get some donations, maybe I can finalize the DMCA documentary or at least post some stuff to netblues or Youtube or something!
I have some awesome video - albeit less than amateur:
Dmitry Sklyarov Rally and Speech
Protesters with Don Marti in San Fran
Interview with Bennett Haselton - Peacefire
I seriously need to get this stuff done and can't do it alone.
I'm hoping the wiki and the community will drive this single source for information about the DMCA!
Yeah, I'm back. Finally, something I can contribute in the fight against the DMCA!
Annodex.... check it out.
Very nice
Wow, what a week.
So like, I only worked 20 hours on site. It rocked. But I think I will have to go in on Sat. Bummer but I'll get a lot done.
Almost missed the deadline for one school. PHEW. Had to leave work for a couple of hours to straighten that one out. One school requested my report within 24 hours. It's looking good for law school!
I need to start in Fall. I NEED to start in fall. Imagine me... a lawyer... oh yes, I'll rock.
Today I got my new license plate. Woohoo. Ch1x0r. Yeah.
I had to go into work. Sometimes, I lose it there. There's a guy who made a programming joke, because I was the only one who got it, he calls me codie now.
Sometimes it makes me wonder about this guy who is struggling with *nix commands.
Who died and made him root?
It's really scary in a sense and very pathetic and sad in another.
The questions are like this:
How do I use the find command?
Me, thinking: What can't he find?
How do I make a symbolic link?
Me, thinking: OMG! why! what did you do? and if you can't figure out how to do one, maybe... you aren't the best person to be performing this task...
What is the utility to get the ip address?
Me, thinking: We are SCREWED!
I don't know how to restart tomcat. One week passes....
Well this is bleeding edge technology, noone really knows anything about this...
Me: Well, actually, you see...you need to do this...and this... in that particular order...
But... My ULTIMATE favorite was the chic who demanded that the /bin directory be moved! OMG! She was so upset when someone said no. She started getting loud and was like freaking out.
I was like, whoa.
So, about three weeks later, the perfect opportunity presented itself. Someone had moved the trash can in the aisle. She came by looking for this guy. I say to her, "NOW WHO MOVED THIS BIN!" "That JUST WON'T work there!!!"
ok, so I'm learning to be a beeotch. But I just could not help it.
I worked at this one place recently, where they were taking phone calls for over a year, thinking the error was with their application.
Uh, it was a server issue. I figured it out in one day. And, uh, get this... I'm the tech writer. No, seriously. I'm like, can you fix this error...
error #...
So I can get the SCREENSHOT for the documentation. Thanks.
100s of man hours were spent on this one thing. No wonder the QA manager quit a couple months after I was hired. Hey, whatever dude.
So I said to my recruiter, listen, don't place me in any proprietary places. Understand that it is difficult for uniquely qualified individuals to work in such an environment.
Law school apps are due this week. I better get cracking.
I actually thought it might be interesting to see how the proprietary people handle *nix. I never help them, because, well, I'm the tech writer. This is going to make for a good book!

Our guys need to be equally as physical...and lets watch out for that dreaded "hotsauce""There was some extracurricular stuff going on after the plays," Griffin said. "They were doing a lot of dirty things. I still think they have an extremely good team, that doesn't take anything away from them, but the game was unprofessional. Who am I to talk? I've barely been a pro for very long, but from what I experienced against the Saints compared to that game, it was definitely unprofessional and it does need to be cleaned up."
Griffin was sacked only once by the Rams, but he was knocked down several times.
"I don't want to tip-toe the lines of anything that's happened with bounties or anything like that, but they were definitely going after me," Griffin said. "They made it a point, obviously, all week to hit me. Some of the shots were cheap of that nature. But it's nothing I can control. Teams are going to try to hit me because they don't think I can take a hit. I think I've proved over my career that I can."

Here is the report:
BTW, it isn't a long read, only 26 pages
Here is the Press Release:
Report: The Role of Government Affordable Housing Policy in Creating the Global Financial Crisis of 2008
July 7, 2009
WASHINGTON. D.C. A report released today by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform finds that the housing bubble that burst in 2007 and led to a financial crisis can be traced back to federal government intervention in the U.S. housing market. The reports findings are particularly significant and relevant since President Barack Obamas announced financial reform initiatives do not include reforms to address flawed government housing initiatives.
The spin on the financial crisis by those who favored government efforts to erode lending standards is that the housing bubble didnt cause this recession, said Rep. Darrell Issa the Committees Ranking Member. The findings in this report should remind this Congress that ignoring the role of politics and government in causing the housing crisis and the economic collapse while pursing other regulatory reforms will not fix the underlying problem.
Government intervention, according to the report, created affordable but dangerous lending policies which encouraged lower down payments, looser underwriting standards and higher leverage. Finally, government intervention created a nexus of vested interests politicians, lenders and lobbyists who profited from the affordable housing market and acted to kill reforms. In the short run, this government intervention was successful in its stated goal raising the national homeownership rate.
Key Facts and Conclusions from the report:
- Political pressure led to the erosion of responsible lending practices:
In the early 1990s, Fannie and Freddie began to come under considerable political pressure to lower their underwriting standards, particularly on the size of down payments and the credit quality of borrowers. (p.6)
- Lower down payments led to housing prices that outpaced income growth: Once government-sponsored efforts to decrease down payments spread to the wider market, home prices became increasingly untethered from any kind of demand limited by borrowers ability to pay. Instead, borrowers could just make smaller down payments and take on higher debt, allowing home prices to continue their unrestrained rise. Some statistics help illustrate how this occurred. Between 2001 and 2006, median home prices increased by an inflation-adjusted 50 percent, yet at the same time Americans income failed to keep up. (p. 11)
- Members of an affordable housing coalition shared profits with political allies to help legitimize their business practices: Fannie Mae created and used The Fannie Mae Foundation to spread millions of dollars around to politically-connected organizations like the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. It also hired well-known academics to give an aura of academic rigor to policy positions favorable to Fannie Mae. One paper coauthored by now-Director of the Office of Management and Budget Peter Orszag, concluded that the chance was minimal that the GSEs were not holding sufficient capital to cover their losses in the event of a severe economic shock. The authors suggested that the risk to the government from a potential default on GSE debt is effectively zero, and that the expected cost to the government of providing an explicit government guarantee on $1 trillion in GSE debt is just $2 million. (p.7)
- The Government Sponsored Enterprises led the way into the housing crisis: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were leaders in risky mortgage lending. According to an analysis presented to the Committee, between 2002 and 2007, Fannie and Freddie purchased $1.9 trillion of mortgages made to borrowers with credit scores below 660, one of the definitions of subprime used by federal banking regulators. This represents over 54% of all such mortgages purchased during those years. (p.24)

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great -- we'd all like to hear about your experiences: excellent, good, fair or lousy.
BTW: I have a fly-flinging friend living in Rhode Island who catches one hell of a lot of steelhead from the Lake Ontario tributaries. And I'm not talking about just the Salmon River. You might want to look into the closer opportunities one of these days. He fishes both in Canada and the US -- along with steelhead, he catches Atlantic Salmon, lake-run Brown Trout, Chinook and Coho. Along with the odd smallmouth bass and what not.
Again, looking forward to your next post. Best of luck. Just remember: steelhead aren't as hard to catch as they are hard to find. Keep at it -- the pull will come.
thanks eric. so many tough decisions to make in life!!! I think I'll plan on bringing my trout gear and playing it by ear. its difficult to decide b/c living on the east coast my trout fishing opportunities aren't that great, but then again steelhead are fish of a lifetime.
I'll keep everyone posted with a report from a first time steelheader.
thanks again,
If you want to fly fish, spring chinook are a real challenge. Much harder to get, IMHO, than steelhead. Most spring chinook fishing is done from boats on the larger rivers by people dangling herring and spinners and such.
If you go with a guide for steelhead on day one, you will know where to go and what to use on day two. Personally, I'd go for the steelhead, unless water conditions are so bad that it's a hopeless proposition. Trout fishing on the Deschutes can be very productive this time of year, as the fish start to key on the salmon fly nymphs. On warm afternoons there are often hatchs of various Mays (Blue Winged Olive) that can provide some surface action.
Columbia Chinook Salmon
Hello guys, i'm going in Portland in April and am doing a day of guided steelheading and have one free day to fish. Realizing that steelheading can be really tough going, I was thinking of renting a car and fishing the deschutes for trout/steelhead on my second day just to look to getting into some fish.
However, i just saw on Oregon's fish and wildlife site that there is a spring chinook salmon run open this year.
what would you guys recommend? should i stick around portland and go steelheading for an extra day on my own or try for some trout or try for chinook salmon?
i guess i'm a little concerned about going home with no fish. i had a blown out trip last year and don't get out as much. i'm really looking forward to the steelheading, but realize this is a tough fish to catch so would like to split it up a little if everyone recommends this.
does anyone have any thoughts

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Thomas Chen honed his knife skills and tended burners at Eleven Madison Park and Commerce, and now he's putting lessons learned behind those storied lines to work at Tuome, his East Village restaurant where he's turning out "ingredient-driven refined food with Asian influence in a casual setting," he says. It's hard, however, to get a feel for what to expect food-wise from the menu, which is loaded with familiar-looking dishes: There's a watermelon-and-ricotta salad, for instance, and octopus with fingerlings. There's even kale, sort of — it's tucked into a rice dish at the bottom of the menu. But for all the trendy ingredients, what actually hits the table is full of surprises, because Chen has a penchant for giving dishes unusual twists. That watermelon-ricotta salad? Coated in crunchy puffed farro to become a light summer refresher. The fingerlings beside the octopus turn out to be a foamy espuma, added to the plate tableside. And the kale, well, it goes into a banana-leaf pouch with sticky rice and lap cheong, that piquant Chinese sausage. Those twists add extra delight to an expertly executed meal, one that takes the familiar and turns it truly exalted.
Editor's note: Click here to read Zachary Feldman's October 15, 2014, review of Tuome.
A good diner serves you delicious food from breakfast to dinner, and a great diner specializes in more than one type of cuisine. And in the heart of the East Village sits the greatest diner of them all: Stage Restaurant. Open from 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., this sliver of an establishment scratch-makes classics like eggs and omelets, chicken salad, and meatloaf, plus Ukrainian and Eastern European offerings, like blintzes with homemade ricotta filling, stuffed cabbage, and soups to keep you warm on a cold winter day. With friendly and prompt service that would give any Michelin-rated establishment a lesson in hospitality, it's an excellent place to perch with the paper, though it does most of its business in carry-out. A word of warning: Stage is cash-only, and it doesn't have a bathroom — so take care of business before you stop in.
Much has been made of late of the rapid gentrification of Crown Heights, and all one needs is a quick stroll through the neighborhood to see why — especially if you happen upon the area's first Starbucks. Whether you're of the belief that this is good, bad, or questionable, one thing can't be argued: Many of the 'hood's new restaurants are top-notch. See Lincoln Station, for example, where you can fulfill your egg-on-a-roll needs with a breakfast sandwich that goes far beyond the old-fashioned bodega variety. Here, you'll find a perfectly fried over-easy egg resting between warm ciabatta, crisp bacon from a rotating cast of farms, and a touch of tart salsa for an unexpectedly added bit of flavor and moisture. The drippy yolk and sauce combine to push this sandwich into five-napkin territory, but we think you'll find it's well worth the mess.
Buvette is the French neighborhood café you thought you would have to pack up your things and head for the Seine to find, except that it's located in the heart of the West Village, which makes it much easier to afford. Chef Jody Williams envisioned this as a place her neighbors would hang out in all day, and that starts with breakfast. Stop in for light and airy steamed eggs scrambled with the wand of an espresso machine, little croissants with dollops of butter and jam, Belgian waffles with berries, or croques. Williams is exacting in her coffee drink specifications — don't even think about asking for a cappuccino with skim milk — and the latte art is on point, too.
When you put your name on the brunch wait list at Queens Comfort, the host might ask you to name a supervillain, divulge your favorite '80s show, or reveal what your mama says to wake you up. It's a ploy to keep the hungover sidewalk hordes entertained — and it works. Beyond the front doors, guests time-warp to the Saturday mornings of their childhood, with Weird Science or WWF projected on the big screen amid walls and shelves decked with toys and plastic figurines. The food here has gradually elevated to far more than just comforting fare: Benedicts are stacked with bacon and avocado, candied bacon, or Brie and fig jam; buttermilk biscuits are slathered with maple cheddar sausage gravy. Try the Mexican waffles! Just be sure to BYOB if you need a little hair of the dog.
Open for just shy of a decade, Pacificana and its grand banquet hall — a sea of white, brown, red, and gold on the second floor of a nondescript office building — sets the standard for Cantonese grandeur in Sunset Park's Chinatown. Waitstaff loll around the dining room, pushing carts brimming with delicate rice rolls, steamer baskets holding dumplings, and glutinous rice wrapped with lotus leaves. It seems like business as usual until you scan the nearly 250-item menu for dish after dish of regional Chinese specialties, like crisp suckling pig and fried Dungeness crabs. Bonus: As at many of the hangar-sized dim sum palaces, brace for the possibility of crashing a wedding or two.

1953 Chevy 3100 - Calling Card
Jason Riner's Hammered '53 Chevy
Jason Riner is a talented guy. He owns Jason's Paint and Body Shop in Warm Springs, Virginia, and likes to build a project vehicle every couple of years as a way of showcasing the talents of the family business. Even though he's created several magazine-quality vehicles in the past, this '53 Chevrolet pickup is one he always wanted. "Those others were just buying me time until I got to this one," he tells Sport Truck.
We know about that! Sometimes you have to wait for the right one to come along.
Jason found the truck in a trader magazine and felt the seller didn't know what he had: The price was only $250. Of course, the Chevy needed a lot of elbow grease, and it took almost nine months before the basket case was transformed into the beauty on these pages. The floorboards and firewall were rusted out and needed to be replaced. The bed was too far gone to rebuild, so a new one was ordered from LMC Truck. Aftermarket front and rear fenders also simplified the frame-off restoration. Jason retained the central section of the frame supporting the cab, molding it for looks and boxing it for strength. Z-notched rails were added up front to accept the modern tubular A-arm suspension, and 6-inch C-notched rails were added in the rear to accommodate the late-model Ford 9-inch with Moser axles and 3.73 positraction internals.
Jason also raised the bed floor 8 inches and repositioned the gas tank between the new rear rails. The truck's rocker-slammin' stance comes from an Air Ride Technologies system that dumped almost a foot off the vintage Chevy's too-tall profile thanks to the adjustable struts on all four corners. Twin Viair 480 compressors fill the single 5-gallon reserve tank and activate the struts through 1/4-inch lines and Parker valves. For modern stopping power, Jason added disc brakes-13s up front and 12s in the rear-from No Limit Engineering.
Once the suspension was in place, Jason began beautifying the engine room prior to installing the 350 Ram Jet V-8 crate motor. The firewall was cleaned up, and the eye-catching inner fender panels were smoothed, tubbed, molded, and painted to match the exterior. Engine additions include March pulleys, a K&N air filter, Hedman headers, Flowmaster mufflers, and an Afco radiator to keep the 375hp motor's temps in the green. A Turbo 350 trans with a B&M shift kit delivers power to the stylish, 22-inch Intro rims.
The front end uses a show-chromed, repro Chevrolet grille. Side doors were converted to a single pane of glass, and new glass was added throughout. Interior mods began with seats from a '91 Escort that were cut, recontoured, and upholstered in glove-soft tan leather. Rickamin's Upholstery in Hot Springs, Virginia, handled the stitchwork, adding suede accents to the seats, door panels, headliner, and rear of the cab. The reconfigured dash is now a combination of old and new, with Jason having left the stock Chevrolet imprint in the dash but welding up almost everything else. The gauges are from Dakota Digital, the steering column is from ididit, and the Intro steering wheel matches the rims. A modern addition, the molded-in monitor, is a 7-inch screen from Pyle that augments the flip-face stereo head unit from JVC. The truck will soon have a pair of rear-mounted amps and multiple speakers throughout the cab. Power windows, electric door locks, and all the latest modern conveniences transform the '53 into a comfortable grand tourer.
Paint is always the perfect finishing touch, and Jason was really impressed by the new DuPont Hot Hues palette. Aztec Yellow Pearl Metallic makes the '53 stand out in any crowd.
Though it took a long time to create, Jason says his masterpiece was well worth the wait. Not only does this Chevy function as the perfect calling card for Jason's Paint and Body, it just plain drives like a dream.

No the Lego version
Had to do some necessity shopping this morning at Target. To my wonderful surprise I saw the two cinema scenes sitting there on the shelf (beat up, shame since these would look great MIB) along with the 1st wave of the clone wars vehicles.
I picked up the sets (not sure how many are in a case but I got the last 2) and left the vehicles (Tank (1), Jedi SF(2), R. Gunship(2)). The lady who works in toys said not to expect the "new" regular figures for a few weeks yet. We'll see.
Be sure to call your Targets to see if they got these in for you!
KB Toy Works off Rt. 7 had 2 Clone Wars JSF's, 1 Federation Tank, 2 Clone 3-Packs(all white), 2 Droid 3-Packs, and 1 Droid Launcher. All peg warmers are $1.99, and one of the value 4 packs had a Bespin Luke w/ Metal Peg.
If Yoda is capable of kicking someone's @$$, imagine what a muppet could do!
KB in Springfield Mall has a metric butt-load of red Clone Troopers (w/tripod cannon). Looks like Hasbro shipped solid cases of these at some point. If you'd like to resurrect the Red Army, you can do so at $1.99 per.

Hmmm. I may have to buy SeaSpray for use as a human-craft in my dioramas. I think the military had them in ROTF. There should be a cool new military scout class vehicle I could get to use with him.
I have to look at SeaSpray's colors again. I can't use the G1 bright blue and yellow. I need an ugly army green one.

Maui Jim Palms Sunglasses - Chocolate Fade Frame with HCL Bronze Lens
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Lens treatments and frames are saltwater-safe
Elegant, eye-catching two-tone nylon frame
Modified rectangular frame fits a range of faces
Maui Jim case and cleaning cloth included
Maui Jim Palms Sunglasses are perfect for protecting against wind and blowing debris by the pool or topside. The Palms' lens treatments and frames are saltwater-safe, while the elegant, eye-catching two-tone nylon frames are smaller in size without skimping on comfort or sun protection. The modified rectangle frame shape complements a wide range of facial features. Maui Jim case and cleaning cloth included.
• Neutral Grey: Perfect for especially bright, direct sunlight, Neutral Grey lenses offer rich color and contrast along with the highest available light production, unlike ordinary grey lenses that flatten light evenly across the spectrum.
• HCL Bronze: From full sun to overcast, HCL Bronze lenses provide excellent contrast for everyday variable conditions. If you love a warm, subtle bronze tint, HCL Bronze lenses are the perfect choice for you!
• Maui HT: Ideal for times when most lenses would be too dark, Maui HT (High-Transmission) lenses boast sharper contrast and more vibrant color for early morning, late afternoon, and foggy days. HT lenses heighten contrast and depth of field so that low light is perceived with new vibrancy.
• PolarizedPlus 2: In every pair of Maui Jims, you'll find this patented, color-infused lens technology. PolarizedPlus 2 lenses wipe out 99.9% of glare, 100% of harmful UV rays, and boost color via specially designed lens treatments. The result: A clearer view, crisper contrast, and amazing brilliance.
• ST (SuperThin) Glass: When clarity is the priority, go with the best optics available. Durable and scratch-resistant, ST Glass lenses are 20% thinner and lighter than standard laminated glass lenses to ensure long-wearing comfort, whether you're driving or relying on them every day. Three rare earth elements ensure brilliance everywhere you look.
• Clearshell Scratch Coating: This proprietary, silicone-based hard coating is applied to the front and back of the lens for ultimate scratch resistance. Glass is naturally scratch-resistant, but Maui Evolution and polycarbonate lenses perform better longer with the added durability of Maui Jim's optically correct Clearshell scratch coating.
• Material: High-grade nylon material is lightweight, extremely durable, and fully adjustable for a customized fit.
• Finishing Treatment: Tumbled in teakwood and bamboo for a smooth, high-gloss finish.
• Hinge: The anti-corrosive spring hinge provides incredible flexibility while offering a secure, comfortable fit for various face shapes and sizes.
• Bridge: Fixed, saddle-style bridge with embedded, nonslip nose pads for comfort.
• Fit: Designed to look and fit best on a wide range of facial types, especially those with smaller proportions. Adjustable temples and nose pads can accommodate a broad range of fit and comfort.
• Eye: 63mm
• Bridge: 16mm
• Temple: 120mm
• 8-Base Curve

Chicago Fed Chief Charles Evans said little to suggest that tapering wouldn't begin later this year, which has caused gold to dip back below $1,300 an ounce and gold miners to fall.
South Africa's Harmony Gold Mining (HMY) has fallen 5.7% to $3.37, AngloGold Ashanti (AU) has declined 4.4% to $12.09 and Gold Fields (GFI) is off 4.6% at $5.22. Peru's Buenaventura (BVN) has plunged 6.1% to $11.88. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has dropped 4.8% to $24.20 today.
Harmony's shares have also been weighed down by a death at one of its mines. Dow Jones Newswires reports:
Harmony Gold Mining Co. Ltd. said Tuesday that one employee was killed and another seriously injured in a materials handling accident that occurred at its Kusasalethu mine near Carletonville this morning.
JPMorgan's John Bridges, meanwhile, surveys second quarter earnings:
Impairments, cost reductions, capex deferrals, and dividend cuts—the Q2 results had them all. However, most of these measures had been well telegraphed or made sense. Consequently, the stocks traded less on quarterly results but more on the measures companies took to preserve liquidity and focus on cash flows. A modest gold price recovery to $1,300+ from the $1,200/oz lows also helped bring some confidence back, with the HUI index outperforming gold by 2%…
Will next quarter be any better?

The semifinalists have been chosen and the lineups are locked in — the 2014 WBRU Rock Hunt is officially ready to roll. Some familiar names and relative newcomers will compete for a hefty prize pack valued at more than $4500, as well as coveted radio airplay and guaranteed slots at upcoming 'BRU-sponsored shows, including the hugely successful Summer Concert Series.
Rhody-based bands — from Westerly to Woonsocket — are well-represented among the nine semifinalists, along with a handful of acts spanning the station's entire listening area, selected from more than 80 entries. Everyone remain calm: official rules state at least one band member must live within WBRU's listening area, and station manager Wendell Clough said a number of submissions north of Boston were disqualified ("I figure someone up in Dracut, Massachusetts, must have a really good antenna," he cracked). The nine bands will rock out over three nights at various local venues. There is a slight twist to the eventual final four showdown to be held later this month, though — the three victors will be joined by a finalist TBD via online voting, and that vote count must be greater than the total tally racked up by 2013 wildcard semifinalists the Bitchin' Aardvarks (straight outta North Scituate).
The Rock Hunt officially gets underway this Friday (the 7th) at the Spot Underground (101 Richmond St, Providence, 401.383.7133) — this one is 18-plus, and note the early 7 pm start time. The remaining bands will square off next weekend at JR's Bourbon Street Rock House (inside Mardi Gras, 1500 Oaklawn Ave, Cranston, 401.463.3080) on Thursday the 13th and Fatt Squirrel (formerly the Roi, 150 Chestnut St, Providence, 401.808.6898) on Friday the 14th; both shows are 21-plus and begin at 9 pm. All shows are just $5 at the door.
The judges panel will consist of local music media folks, national record label reps, sound techs, and former Rock Hunt champions (yo Raskin and Grabert — let's party!). And while the 2014 Rock Hunt roster may lack the wildly varied, all-pro lineup like last year (that final four was pretty damn incredible), I imagine we judges will once again have our hands full.
"Listening to all 85 entries, you sense nobody here is really going for the 'synth-rock' thing that is happening nationally right now — there's more of an indie-roots thing going on here," Clough noted.
So here we go; let's meet the nine contenders.
HERE WE JUST DREAM (herewejustdream.bandcamp.com): Fall River is in the building! This quintet cites Yes, the Chili Peppers, and Fleet Foxes as vital influences, going for a breezier take on indie-prog rock. Big harmonies and keys envelop the latest single "People Love." Drummer Matt Heisler's subtle rumble keeps the groove cooking, while keyboardist Taylor Kirkwood and guitarists Brad Goff and Tim Doherty jump in on the action. I would assume HWJD will also dip into its 2012 debut self-titled EP, led by "Birds Fly Information," and a three-song release from last summer titledWind With You, featuring the uptempo cuts "Take Away" and "To Be Devoured."
THE OCTOBER ACCORD (reverbnation.com/theoctoberaccord): Just over the Rhody state line comes the October Accord representing the Blackstone/Millville, MA area. Paramore is the go-to reference when vocalist Kerri Gross lets loose over the sweetened pop-punk chug of "No Regrets" and "Here's To You" (also reminiscent of previous Rock Hunt semifinalists Sienna). "On My Own" is made for the live setting, and "The Flood" is a standout. If Rock Hunt newbies TOA can keep the nerves in check, they could be a prime dark-horse candidate.
THE RARE OCCASIONS (therareoccasions.com): The Boston-via-Barrington foursome have Rock Hunt ties dating back to drummer Luke Imbusch and singer/keyboardist Brian McLaughlin's days in the Valar. The Rare Occasions fell victim to the thunderous Lolita Black last year, but I recall the crowd getting down with "Miss Mary Mack." The band released a debut EP a few months later titled Applefork (streaming and available at therareoccasions.bandcamp.com). I keep thinking of Arctic Monkeys when I listen to personal favorites "Scarlet Lies" and "Getaway," and I'm taking TRO in a close one.

2012 PSA: SOPA and You
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 07:20 AM MDT | By Ash_735
First off, Happy New Year everyone! It's now 2012 and this is the first post of the new year on GTAGaming, we hope you all had a great Holiday and enjoyed yourselves! Now, I'm sure a lot of people reading this have heard about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) which is a pretty big thing in regards of Internet Freedom, if you haven't heard about it, watch this video, the date has passed in the video but it does a brilliant job of explaining the act and how it will affect the Internet:
We just want to spread the word on this, if this bill passes, this website is just one of the many which would be wiped out and blocked for small things such as posting Fan Made videos which contain copyright music and just by promoting a video like that, we would be included as "part of the problem" under SOPA.
Now, this post is aimed at our North American readers, but even if you're not in the US, at least help the cause and spread the message against this, this Act will affect us all and people need to speak up about this! Feel free to visit Stop American Censorship for more information and to find out ways you can help prevent this Act from passing, below is a list of other websites which explain the situation and offer more ways to help:
Thank you for reading this post, we hope you'll do your part in helping to prevent SOPA from passing, every little thing helps. Once again, Happy New Year, we'll now return to our original news line-up.

The same tools and mods that we used to use for the PC version back in the day will work with these versions, you just need to do a bit of work to get to the files within the APK and IPA files. Here are a couple tutorials you can follow:

2012 Grand Theft Auto III: Asked & Answered in Full
Grand Theft Auto III - General News | @ 12:00 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Rockstar says:
It may now seem obvious that people should all talk in games, but this was not necessarily the case in 2001, certainly not in an open world game. We were making up a lot of procedures as we went along, and we decided that the NPCs (Non Playable Characters) should talk and we would have to figure out how to make them talk (using motion captured cutscenes, something that had never really been done before, at least not on the scale we were doing it). So we decided that the game's protagonist would not talk, partly to aid people identifying with him, but mostly because we had so many other problems to solve and this did not seem like a major issue. We started to discuss introducing a talking lead character when working on Vice City, but it was a lot of work. While the structure of GTA3 may seem obvious or natural now, and the use of cutscenes made in the game's engine that look and feel like the game may seem simple and easy, it really was not the case back in 2001 when we had to figure out all of these things for the first time. Oh and in San Andreas, CJ calls Claude a mute because he does not talk and CJ finds this unnerving.
Rockstar says:
This is fake. This is an old bit of gameplay footage, for sure, but we think the voices were added at a later date by someone online as at no point did we plan for Claude to have a voice or even design how a speaking protagonist would be implemented until Vice City.
Rockstar says:
There wasn't any one single inspiration – we just liked the idea of a strong, silent killer, who would be juxtaposed with all of these neurotic and verbose mobsters in an amusing way. He seems stronger and in control, while they seem weaker and frantic.
Rockstar says:
He's a bank robber with a noisy and psychotic girlfriend. More than that, it is hard to say. Definitely a drifter, probably from the west coast, new to Liberty City. Surname may or may not be Speed.
Rockstar says:
We're not sure about this. Some think he did, and some think he didn't. Certainly in an original version of the script, Maria had a longer, really annoying speech, but then someone in the audio department wisely put an end to that. Quite what that means for Maria, who can say.
Rockstar says:
Darkel was just a crazy bum who gave you some crazy missions. They were removed a few months before the game was done and long before 9/11 because they just weren't as good as the rest of the game, and tonally they were a little odd. He started with 5 missions and they were slowly all cut. When only one or 2 were left, they were all removed as the character just didn't work alongside the other characters.
None of these missions involved blowing up buses of school children although that is a funny rumor!
Rockstar says:
No. The guys at Rockstar North are far too busy working on future stuff to ever figure out how to fix these old unfinished missions and get them running.
Rockstar says:
El Burro is referenced as he was also referenced in GTA 1, so it felt appropriate that he should cross "universes" – the "universes" are the worlds interpreted at different definitions, 2d, 3d and high definition, so we felt brands and radio / back ground characters would exist in both, but 3 dimensional characters would not. This is the logic (as far as it could be considered logical) behind it – so no, we don't believe any GTA3 characters could exist in the GTA4 universe.
Rockstar says:
He is a character from an early piece of concept art by our long standing character concept artist at Rockstar North, Ian McQue, that Stephen Bliss (who is one of the guys who illustrates our Grand Theft Auto cover art) liked and used to make a cool piece of montage art that embodied the game – we were less concerned with the art really representing characters as much as capturing the vibe of the game – so some of the characters in the art are not necessarily game characters. We did not really think the characters would be such a big deal until after the game came out.
Rockstar says:
About 1% different. We removed only one mission that referenced terrorists and changed a few other cosmetic details – car details, a couple of ped comments, lines of radio dialogue etc – the game came out a very short time later. The biggest change was the US packaging which remixed the previous packaging into what became our signature style – because the previous packaging [which was released as the cover of the game in Europe] was, we felt, too raw after 9/11. All of the more extreme rumours are amusing but impossible to have been achieved in such a short period of time.
Rockstar says:
No. As above, it really was not very much stuff – just one mission and other than that some superficial and cosmetic details.
Rockstar says:
Yes – it is meant to be part of Liberty City.
Rockstar says:
We didn't take an island out of the game. There were only ever the three. We think what people refer to as "ghost town" is just the small area of a city we built for the bank heist scene at the very start of the game. It never had a name, but we wanted it to be somewhere separate from the liberty map and so we built these few streets floating in space and assumed no one would ever find them. We noticed someone built a bridge mod so you can actually drive there now - amazing…
Rockstar says:
Because we were making a driving and shooting game - even that, as a combination of core gameplay elements, was very, very radical at the time. The Dodo was never meant to be flown very much at all, and it certainly wasn't grounded as a result of 9/11 – it was just a fun thing that people then went crazy with when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!
Rockstar says:
There was never meant to be anything on the other end of the tunnel, we were just playing with ways to make the world feel like it continues past the physical boundary. It's something that we've been pushing in all sorts of ways ever since, making the world you experience as a player feel like it's part of something bigger. This tunnel was one of our first little baby steps in that direction.
Rockstar says:
We played around with the idea of multiplayer back then but never got very far with it. At the time, we decided to make Vice City instead of dedicating a big team to multiplayer, as we did not feel it would ever really be good enough. When we finally made a multiplayer game, we wanted it to rival the fun and experience of single player, and this was something not possible until much later.
Rockstar says:
The pedestrian squishing sound was made up from a combination of squelchy sounds that Rockstar North Audio Designer, Allan Walker recorded live (Rockstar North Lead Music Producer, Craig Conner seems to recall crushing fruit and raw chicken in a vocal booth...) and then they added a few more layers from our SFX library.
Rockstar says:
No, not true. However it does look (but not sound) like a relative of his.
Rockstar says:
They are long. Very long. And they only seem to get bigger with each subsequent Grand Theft Auto production. Check out the image set below which shows a picture of the GTA3 script alongside the GTAIV script for some sense of what we mean.

ORIGINAL: TurkeyComander
the dominate bird is not always the one gobbling.
ORIGINAL: TurkeyComander
ORIGINAL: tracebusta32
A drumming call can sometimes be heard 150 yards away in the woods.
You must have some really good hearing....150 yards you say. [:)] Maybe 50 yards by a hunter.
I do have good hearing, but a game ear helps
But drumming can be practiced, learned, and used very effectively to take gobblers.
So you've done this ?
Yes, wanna fight about it?
I usually give the drumming call, and many times that will break him out of his strut.
How did you learn to mimic this sound ?....you got a pet gobbler to practice with ?
Neighbor down the road has one, but I couldn't get him to teach me
Another kind of drumming, which most hunters completely overlook, is the kind a turkey does on his roost. A turkey doesn't have to be in full strut to drum,
It's the same kind of drumming...and I'm not sure but I think they have to be in full strut to drum.
I've got good hearing and drummining is not something a hunter hears on a regular basis.
If'n you aint hearing it on a regular basis, brush up on yer skillz and maybe you will hear some, or stop shooting them from 51 yards out [:)]
ORIGINAL: TurkeyComander
ORIGINAL: Cut N Run
Whenever one of us takes out the Boss Gobbler where we hunt, the other subordinate Gobblers establish a new pecking order. A lot of mornings when I have been hunting, a few different gobblers get fired up just after dawn & when the Boss started gobbling, the rest of them shut up. We have also seen Mature Gobblers (other than the Boss) courting hens when they didn't gobble, possibly for fear of the Boss coming & kicking their butt and stealing the hen.
Another false hood pushed on the turkey world...the dominate bird is not always the one gobbling.
ORIGINAL: TurkeyComander
....how far could a hen turkey hear it? I suspect miles...maybe many miles.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ex-trooper Christopher Gary Hughes of Tupelo will plead guilty Feb. 25 to a federal charge, the U.S. District Court's docket shows.
Hughes, 40, was due for trial in March on one count that he violated the civil rights of a woman he allegedly beat more than five years ago in the Lee County Jail.
He initially pleaded not guilty to the charge, but Thursday his March 11 trial was canceled with notice of a guilty-plea hearing before Senior Judge Neal B. Biggers.
Hughes was a decorated trooper with the Mississippi Highway Patrol until shortly before his October indictment.
On the civil rights count, a conviction holds punishment of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The indictment accuses him of stomping a woman, while he worked as a trooper, in October 2007.

It looks to me like the metal crates would be hard to clean (say if you're out-of-State and the dog has been in a swamp). I have Ruff Tuff's and am satisfied (wipe them out or take them out and hose them). I've gone thru a number of cheaper plastic crates.
I did drill extra holes in the Ruff Tuff's and have fans on the doors. I ordered them without holes in the bottom half to keep wet dog stuff out of the van.

TUPELO – Mayor Jack Reed Jr. celebrated Tupelo's accomplishments and laid out three challenges for the city in this afternoon's State of the City address.
Before an audience of hundreds of city employees, elected officials, busi ness leaders and citizens, Reed lauded the Fire Department, Convention and VisitorsBureau and Healthy Tupelo Task Force for bringing state and regional honors home to Tupelo.
He celebrated the Tupelo Public School District's rating as a "High Performing" district and the city's strong financial reserves, among many other achievements.
Reed challenged the city to help the Salvation Army raise $500,000 for a new wing for its homeless shelter.
He encouraged Tupelo's businesses to assist with an $800,000 Parents Campaign for the new aquatic center.
His third challenge was aimed at Tupelo's professionals and executives with children.
"If you believe in Tupelo's unique history of having a great multi-racial public school system, think hard before you leave our Tupelo Public Schools," he said.
