E-mu Orbit 9090
The Orbit is first in E-mu's new line of dance modules. This is strictly engineered for the techno artist. It has 8 MB of samples of all the great vintage analog sounds plus many familiar and typical sounds used in house, hip hop, trance, and techno.
It includes an essential digital VCF-like filter that is (on many presets) usually controlled from the modulation wheel on your keyboard controller! It's great for filling tracks with lush sweeping pads, or trancing along a 303 bassline pattern and filtering away. It is a beautiful golden single-space rack unit with a big easy to read LCD. Its sounds are, well they're digital so they are a little harsh and 'tinny' but add a little 'verb and some delay and it sounds damn good! It is already being used by lots of techno artists around the world including Todd Terry, Roni Size, ATB, and Orbital.

It rained from morning well into the night. It was cool, overcast and dark most of the day. I pretty much stayed inside the entire day and continued to scan comic book covers in my collection. Though it was still raining, I could hear some loud booms and explosions after it got dark so there were a few die-hards who got their rock[et]s off on the appointed day. All the public fireworks shows were postponed or cancelled.
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
Got DirecTV installed (but have to wait another 2 weeks for the DSL internet to get put in ), but while vacuuming the floor, the outlet where the TV goes blew a fuse. Nice. But all the new stations are cool, and just one remote is helpful, as well. Read a couple books, watched the singing, speeches, and fireworks on A Capitol Fourth on PBS. Went to bed with fireworks going off in the background (get your minds outta the gutter, people! ).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I took 5 friends along with me to see the San Diego Padres beat the World-Series-Bound Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4. When I download my camera later, I'll probably put pics up in the Post-A-Picture-of-Yourself-Thread. Then we met up with 5 more friends and watched at least 7-8 fireworks shows simultaneously on Mission Bay (San Diego's recreational waterfront) with the lights from the explosions reflecting off the calm water and really lighting up the whole bay.
It was a great 4th of July! (Last year I spent mine in the hospital!)
Today I'm going to visit a kidney disease patient there and hopefully bring some cheer to him and remind him that things can get a whole lot better. For me that was thanks to BobaFrett and all the support I got from this website right here. Thank you!
I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!
I worked about 9 1/2 hours, when I got out of work, it was raining. I thought the fireworks might be cancelled. Then a friend called, and we went to a fireworks that I had never been to before, usually we go to the "taste of Lombard", but this year we went to Bensenville. Elmhurst quit having fireworks years ago, during the last one they had, the wind was so strong, it blew the fireworks down near some car dealerships, and new cars were damaged.

well, saturday started as midnight passed, we were out in the middle of nowhere on a farm sitting by a fire drinking beer as good Canucks do on weekends. Sometime after 1 am I got up to tend the fire and managed to trip on something that was invisible to me due to the configuration of my glasses, the colour of the obstacle and the fire being a bit "dazzling" on my stupid glasses. I just kinda tripped and rolled to the ground, and in the process something got my kneww but good.... I knew I was messed up and asked a buddy to look at my knee before I got back up- the first person to look started freaking out and looking like they were going to puke (always a bad sign)
The more qualified (and calmer) buddy looked and said "you're going to the hospital, no options- I can see white"
So I got an ambulance to the hospital, with Elf, and was joined maybe an hour later by our other buddies. I waited in an empty emergency room til 7 am with my buddy Johnny V before I got fixed up, the gash in my knee required a few layers of several stitches apiece. I am currently healing up fairly good, it hurts like stink and I can't bend my leg for a while but I am expecting a full recovery... and strangely enough I had more fun over the whole weekend than I've had in a long time- I have a piece of hilarious video to put up shortly which will show the extent of the proper fun (no "adult" content promise)
Oyes it was fun, yet painful
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
I'm glad you're healing up, Mabs. That sounds like a scary story!
Haha thanks Josh- not scary at all tho, it was hilarious overall in fact, and the cut in my knee was cauterized almost instantly it seemed- I didn't even bleed til I got to the hospital even somehows despite having my blood thinned out a good deal...
It really didn't hurt too much til all the bruises started setting in at around the 2 hour mark after the initial impact, and now that I have the compression thingy off it is hurting a lot less (plus we have ASA here which was not available out in yon country)
Gotta post that vid, shaky or not it's awesome
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
Sorry to hear about your fall Mabs. Did you ever find what tripped you?

Last week, the National Catholic Reporter published a lengthy piece on reported sexual assaults at Notre Dame. Its fulcrum is the case involving Lizzy Seeberg, a 19-year-old freshman at nearby St. Mary's College who committed suicide in September 2010, just 10 days after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by a Notre Dame football player. That case led the civil rights office of the U.S. Department of Education to launch a seven-month investigation of Notre Dame that last summer resulted in a settlement agreement.
The Seeberg case is awful enough, but according to a former school administrator whose own daughter says she was raped 10 years ago, "They"—Notre Dame—"do a poor job in general." The takeaway from the NCR story—written by Melinda Henneberger, a political reporter for the Washington Post and a 1980 Notre Dame graduate—is that Seeberg wasn't the first woman to be put through the university's meat grinder after making a sexual-assault accusation. And judging by Henneberger's reporting, she won't be the last.
The smear about Seeberg was that she was "a troubled girl" who had "done this before" (according to friends and family members of a "long-serving trustee" at Notre Dame). She was "the aggressor" (according to the accused player's lawyer, a Notre Dame alum). She was "all over the boy" (according to a "top university official" at Notre Dame). After reporting the alleged assault to campus police, Seeberg was told by a friend of the football player: "Don't do anything you would regret. Messing with Notre Dame football is a bad idea." No charges were filed. Notre Dame police didn't interview the player—who was never disciplined by the school or the football program—until five days after Seeberg killed herself. Later, they told the family they weren't sure when they could follow up. "They said they were pretty busy," said Lizzy's mother, Mary, told Henneberger, "because it's football season and there's a lot of underage drinking."
And then there's Joe Power, a Notre Dame alumnus and a lawyer representing the player against whom Seeberg made her accusation. When Henneberger reached him for comment, Power immediately tried to bully her. It's a pretty remarkable passage, featuring some lawyerin' straight out of the Joe Amendola Starter Kit.
"Have you ever read the book To Kill a Mockingbird?" Power asked in a phone interview. Because, as in Harper Lee's classic, "this young lady was the aggressor." According to America's Best Lawyers, Power is the top personal injury litigator in the city of Chicago. Barreling right past innuendo, he said it was Lizzy who "had removed her blouse" and thrown herself on top of the player. And the player? "He put a stop to it, because his parents had taught him that was wrong. It's all untrue, according to the two independent witnesses."
He's referring to the player's friend who texted Lizzy, and to his date. Neither was in the room when the incident occurred, but before they left, Power said, "They observed that she was being rather forward and dancing with the young man; she was dancing for him." (Lizzy described the same moment this way: While they were dancing, the player began "pulling me towards him. It was uncomfortable but I didn't know how to stop it. Then he told me to give him a lap dance and I didn't know what to do. He pulled me down on his lap and he had his legs spread out. He started pulling my body around his crotch area and told me to keep doing it.")
When I asked Power whether his client's best friend and that friend's girlfriend could really be considered independent witnesses, he yelled, "First of all, you're a liar, because it's not his best friend, and she's no longer his girlfriend!" The two young men do now room together, in any case, and on social media the other young man posts video clips of his best plays, along with admiring comments.
"You should be writing for the John Birch Society, or the Ku Klux Klan," the lawyer continued, presumably because the player is black. "If you were in To Kill a Mockingbird, you'd be on the side of the Klan," out to destroy a black man falsely accused by a white woman. "And if you slander this innocent young man," he thundered, "you will pay!"
On Nov. 21, 2010, the Chicago Tribune first reported Seeberg's allegation, subsequent suicide, and Notre Dame's silence on the matter. But that day, Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly made a joke in a conference call with reporters about the Tribune's ability to afford having dedicated so many resources to the story. There eventually was a campus disciplinary hearing for the player accused of sexually assaulting Seeberg in February 2011, but he was found "not responsible." (One of the more damning passages in Henneberger's piece includes a quote from Pat Cottrell, a retired Notre Dame security officer who specialized in sexual assault cases: "Just a regular Joe, if they were working a job on campus, I could go there and say, 'Hey, I need to talk to you.'" But when an athlete is involved, he said, 'if they don't respond, they don't respond, and that makes it harder to do your job.' Notre Dame's statement said athletes get no special treatment, and police shouldn't in any case have to go through the Athletic Department.")

Polly Want A Cracker?
Pacay Volcano, Guatemala. What could make this beautiful scene better?
No, Polly Wants A Chick
What's not to love about parrots? They talk, they mock, they have beautiful plumage. Some people will tell you they are the greatest pet and companion you can find. But, people's passion for parrots can cause problems.

No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Were you aware that the exotic pet trade has an impact on wild populations? Do you think this represents a significant problem? Why or why not?
- Do you think researchers should be spending funds monitoring and improving the health of fledglings? Do you think this is a long-term or short-term solution to declining wild populations? Explain your thinking fully.
- Some people feel it is not appropriate to take intelligent wild animals and turn them into pets. How do you feel about this argument? Be as specific as possible in your response and consider both sides of this argument.
- The Collared Forest-Falcon (Micrastur semitorquatus) is identified as a source of predation on Scarlet Macaw fledglings in Guatemala. It's been suggested that reducing numbers of this predator would help the Scarlet Macaw population. What do you think of this approach to conserving species? Do you see problems with this approach? What kinds of information would you like to see collected to fully evaluate a suggestion like this?

Potential Tsunami Debris Found During Alaska Beach Cleanup
Posted On September 6, 2012 by Andrew Hartsig
The coast of southeast Alaska is renowned for its stunning beauty, and the pocket beach outside the town of Sitka was no exception: dark sand piled with tangles of storm-tossed logs and fringed with emerald grass. From a distance, the beach looked pristine.
But as our boat pulled closer, we began to see what we had come for: trash. Chunks of polystyrene foam, plastic bottles, lengths of line, bits of faded blue tarp and pieces of netting were wedged in the piles of driftwood and strewn in the beach grass. It was time to get to work.
I was in Sitka to take part in a series of beach cleanups that brought together staff from Ocean Conservancy, the Marine Conservation Alliance Foundation and the Sitka Sound Science Center, along with volunteers from Allen Marine and Holland America Line. Together, we set out to find and remove marine debris that had washed up on the shores of nearby islands.

Maybe you thought Barack Obama's fake presidential seal was just a stupid gaffe, kind of like Mitt Romney's podium screw-up back in 2006. But no! It's much, much more than that. Mickey Kaus, take it away:
[T]he faux seal was a disaster not just for the reason
I gave (that it suggested Obama is "stuck up"). It also carried this
counterproductive connotation: that there is a separate Obama Nation,
grown up in opposition to Bush's nation.

Fuel efficiency will be a major concern during the eighth annual "Physics Day" at Hope College on Thursday, May 2.
In the event's traditional design and construction contest, which will be held in the Dow Center beginning at 9 a.m., teams of students from eight Michigan high schools have been challenged to create vehicles powered by the air from a balloon.
They've been told that their vehicle will need to reach a target located between five and 12 meters (16-39 feet) away--they'll learn the exact distance on the morning of the contest. The winning team will be chosen based on how close its vehicle came to the target in two trials.
The teams are free to choose the form their vehicle takes, working within just a few general parameters: all of the energy supply must come from the air-filled balloon; the vehicle can't leave behind a launch pad or other parts; the vehicle can't be touched once it's started its run; and the vehicle has to carry a light cargo--a small Physics Day decal that will be provided just before the contest.
The contest is one of three events in which the four-member teams will compete. Later in the morning, they will have a chance to solve a physics problem presented to them at the time, using only their wits and materials provided. Following lunch, each team will solve a set of physics problems.
Physics Day is coordinated by the college's department of physics and engineering. The two teams that earn the highest scores through the three events will receive a monetary prize to support the teaching of science at their respective high schools.
The schools participating this year include: Bangor High School, Battle Creek Math and Science Center, Holland Christian High School, Hudsonville High School, Owosso High School, Rockford High School, St. Joseph High School and West Ottawa High School.

Weiler speaks on international law in crisis, Sept. 22
Posted September 19, 2003; 10:12 a.m.
A lecture on "Governance Without Governments: The Legitimacy Crisis of International Law" will be presented at 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22, in 104 Computer Science Building.
Joseph Weiler, the Joseph Straus Professor and the European Union Jean Monnet Chair at New York University School of Law, will speak about his forthcoming book by the same title.
Weiler is expected to examine the foundations of international law, an area in which there tends not to be a centralized source of legitimate authority through which laws can be made. He will discuss the recent emergence of international institutions that strive to create governing norms.
Weiler also serves as director of the Jean Monnet Center for International and Regional Economic Law and Justice at NYU. His recent publications include "Integration in an Expanding European Union," with I. Begg and J. Peterson (Blackwell, 2003), "The European Court of Justice," with G. de Burca (Oxford, 2000), and "The EU, the WTO and NAFTA" (Oxford, 2000).
Weiler's lecture is part of this year's Alpheus Mason Lectures in Constitutional Law and Political Thought, sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions . For more information, contact Seana Sugrue at (609) 258-6333.

In today's stressful economy, it's a boost to find an eatery with 10 dinners under $10, and another two at $10.50 and $10.75. And, though these offerings are at Neo Pizza, those bargain meals are not just pizzas or calzones — they are full-fledged pasta entrées. The classic pizzas are also price-worthy, at $10.50 for a 16-inch marinara and cheese and $9 for one with white sauce (pre-toppings, of course).
Neo made its reputation on its first place win in 2006 at the Northeast Regional Pizza Challenge in Atlantic City, beating out New York pizzerias with its Gian, a thin-crust version topped with a three-cheese white sauce, spinach, pancetta, and herbs (small $12.25, large $14.50). There are 16 more specialty pizzas, including a "meatball parmigiana," veal sausage and peppers, and Buffalo chicken and blue cheese crumbles.
We stayed with the Gian, wanting to see how it had survived the years since its win. It was quite tasty, with plenty of spinach bits (not fresh chopped but frozen and still just fine) and pancetta. Other customer favorites are the Neo — with marinara, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, olives, and fresh basil — and the aforementioned Buffalo chicken (called "Arruda Wakening").
Using a few pizza slices as an appetizer, we ordered an entrée to split and salads on the side. On Wednesdays and Fridays, they have fresh cod, either baked or in fish and chips. On other days, they offer spaghetti or penne with: marinara, aglio olio, or meatballs; chicken and broccoli or spinach; chicken caprese (mozzarella and fresh tomatoes); veal sausage, chicken, or eggplant parmigiana; or a combo of the latter two ($10.75).
That's the one we chose, though I decided to order the chicken un-parmed (i.e., just grilled) and the eggplant still parmed. Our waitress said they could definitely accommodate that request. The dish was generous and delicious; I even got another lunch from it.
Perhaps that's because the salads were so large, and we'd already nibbled pizza. Bill got the Neo salad: romaine, red cabbage, carrots, green peppers, red onion, grape tomatoes, and black olives. He particularly liked the house-made balsamic vinaigrette.
I got the Caesar, described as "fresh romaine, parmesan, and croutons served with our homemade Caesar dressing." I liked the dressing, which was quite thick. But the greens were wilted and brown, definitely not "fresh."
When we'd asked for whole wheat crust for the pizza and then whole wheat pasta, our waitress informed us they were out of both because they'd had a big fundraiser that weekend to help out a local child, and their stocks were depleted. I'm assuming that explains the too-long-refrigerated salad as well.
But it also explains a local loyalty. While we were there, on a slow Sunday night, the phone barely stopped ringing with take-out orders. And those were not just for pizzas. The calzones, the wraps, and the paninis all have their share of fans. There are 10 calzone variations, all under $7; ditto the wraps; and there's only one panini that creeps over that (sausage and peppers).

Doodle Jump has made the leap from a mobile platform to the interactive Xbox Kinect. Players jump across floating islands and flap their imaginary wings to travel through a series of obstacles and terrorizing monsters. This party game is divided into three worlds, each with its own unique scenery and set of challenges.
First, clear out a playing space with plenty of room. The Xbox Kinect device uses special gesture controls that mimic the players' movements onscreen. Using these controls, players must jump to avoid, and point to destroy, the evil "baddies" that try to stop them from advancing through levels.

Well, I am not going to be attending SDCC this year as I have had incredibly horrible luck with each online badge sale.
It never hurts to ask so there are two favors I would like to ask:
1. If any of you are going to line up to get your pass for next year's con, would you mind getting one for me? I can certainly pay in advance.
2. of less importance as I could just order in the worst case scenario but can anyone help with Mattel and Hasbro exclusives?

Dean McCarthy said, "This could really stop us for two years. "CnlesH something is chang¬ ed, the numt^er of students who will enroll prot>at>ly will be nnieh less than was planned lor," he Haid. "We can fort*see a graduate enrollment nuide up largely of women, or men who have com- plete(i their military obligation, are physically exempt, or are over 26 years of age," Dean McCarthy said.

The con¬ cert is complimentary. that they will find room in the ilorms. he warned. Prospects are no bctier in the district. "There is less hoi)e than ever before, the hcrusing shortage is verj- acute," said one a^ent. "We Jiaven't had anything t» rent to I'niversity student« §»T six or eight months," said some¬ one else from the same finn.

"I don't see how there can he any let-up." said Hevly. One agent attnbutes part of the problem to the declining number of older hou.ses with rooms to rent. Many of these houses have been sold to peo¬ ple who simply want them for their own use. Other ownere have gotten tii-ed of the work and trouble of renting rooms. Tliese large hou.ses had rental fees that were closer to what students can afford to pay, she added. John Kennedy, of Don Ken¬ nedy Keal Estate which handles about l.filKi r»Mitals in the dis¬ trict, said that this year is not much ditferent than any other \ear. "Tiiere has been a pretty strong demand all along," he said. More realistic estimates will tie available after Dec. 3 when departing tenants serve their nolicv, he said. As acute as tho shortage bas been and apparently wiH con*- tinue to be, eveiyone seems to find some place to live, even tf it is not completely satisfactory. "We very seldom hear of anyone who does not attend the Univer-sity because he cannot find housing," Mid Pringle He n«>ted that incoming stu¬ dents who will be attending the University for the fira* time ai-e given priority when the ap¬ plications are pi-ocessed, be¬ cause as strangers to the area they would have a more diffi¬ cult time finding other accom¬ modations. After new students, applications are considered strictly on the basis of date ot application.

Nonetheless, I believe this is my first GigaPan shot with Canon T2i (which I have definitely not yet mastered) and the newer model Epic100 GigaPan robot. It's a result of my rustiness that this shot is a little underexposed. Focus issu...

Gull River Road bridge being replaced
Construction to replace the bridge on the Gull River Road began Monday, July 8, and the road will be closed to through traffic during construction.
Anticipated completion date is Oct. 4.
Gull River Road is north of Baxter near the Cass County line, running from Cass County State Aid Highway 70 north and east to Gull Lake Dam Road.
During construction, the work site will be impassable. A detour uses Cass County State Aid Highway 70, East Gull Lake Drive and Gull Lake Dam Road (County Road 105). This detour traverses through a Corps of Engineers campground and uses a one-lane bridge in that area. Extreme caution is requested when traveling through this area.
In addition, due to safety concerns at the site and erosion control items that will be placed in the river itself, no river traffic can be allowed through the site. This includes canoes, kayaks, tubes, etc.
Coordination with the Corps of Engineers has taken place to advise visitors to the campground of this condition.
For more information, contact project manager Robert Hall at 218-824-1110 or email@example.com.

Nueces USATF 50 Mile Trail Championship
The week leading up to this race was quite stressful with work and school, and the fact that I was having trouble finding a flight out to San Antonio for the race. It looked as if Anne was not going to be able to come with me and I had to use Priceline to find a relatively cheap ticket. So, I got into SAT around 5 PM on Friday and then had to drive to Camp Eagle a couple of hours away. I made it to the Camp around 7:30; too late for packet pickup, but just in time to catch the tail end of the pasta dinner. I quickly ate a plate of food, emailed Anne (there was no cell phone service, but they had Wi-fi) and then went down to the camp site. Since it was late and dark and I probably would not sleep well anyway, I decided to forego pitching my tent and just slept in the car. After a restless night, I awoke around 4:30 am and ate my traditional pre-race meal – a PB sandwich and an apple. I then went up to the start/finish area and got ready for the race.
The wind was howling as we stood in line for the 6 AM start. Several of us joked about the fact that we started the 100k (Bandera) at 7 AM in daylight and a 50 miler in the dark. The race started and David James and one other runner sped off into the dark. Jason Bryant, Steven Moore, Jack Pilla and myself formed a "chase" pack. I led this little group for the first 8-9 miles before we started spreading out a little bit. The course was very rocky and near the end of the loop (first out of three 16.7 mile loops) there were some pretty good climbs. Jason powered up these climbs and I attempted to do the same, but my legs did not like it. I just had no power on the climbs. I finished the first loop in around 2:13, a little faster than I had planned, but nothing to be worried about. As I went out for loop two, my legs still were letting me know they did not like hills. I slowed down some and fell off from the leaders quite a bit. My energy level never seemed to get too high or to low. My only real problem was pushing uphill and then trying to pick up speed after the hills. Near the end of this loop the sun had come out and I started sweating quite a bit, but it was deceptive because the high winds kept it evaporating, leaving just trails of salt behind. I started popping Endurolytes like candy, and this kept my electolyte levels up. I finished the second loop about 10 minutes slower than the first.
As I headed out for the final loop, I knew I was in 6th place and that I would have a hard time catching anyone at this stage, especially since I was struggling so much on the hills. Luckily, this loop seemed to go by very fast as there were many 50K and 50 mile runners on the course for their second loop, and the quick "good job" or "keep it up" provided a good distraction. Even at the end of this loop, I still felt pretty good. I wish I could have run faster, but was running real comfortably. I pondered the fact that several months ago running 50 miles would not feel this easy and it gave me confidence that - if I am smart about it – I am in good condition to run my 100 milers coming up. I finished the race in 7:14, in 6th place and actually received my USATF medal at the finish.
After the race I stayed at the finish line ,ate some food, and chatted with the other runners. Jason Schlarb won the race in a sizzling 6:28, David James came in second, Jason Bryant in third, with Stephen and Jack finishing right ahead of me. I ended up being the slowest of the "fast" guys, but just to be included in the group made me feel pretty good. Later that night I decided to check into my cheap hotel (if Anne had come with there was no way we would have stayed in a place like this), but it was better than sleeping in the car again. The hardest part of the trip was having to wait until Monday to head back home because couldn't find a return flight on Sunday for under $600 (damned high gas prices). I really missed Anne and the boys, which made me extremely glad to get home on Monday, despite the nightmare of flights. Got on my first plane at 11:20 and, three planes later finally made it back to DC.
Lessons Learned: If you are conditioned properly, running 50 miles is not that bad. Now if my legs had let me push a little more, I am sure I would have been more sore. For the most part, the only real soreness I had was my feet after getting beat-up on the rocks. I am sure I could have done things differently and run a better (faster) race, but I am pleased with where I am so early in the season and feel comfortable putting my focus on competing at the 100 mile distance. I also am going to focus more on vertical – need to get out in the mountains more (in all my free time:).
Gear that got me through: Wore the New Balance MT 101s again, probably not the best choice given the terrain as my feet are still screaming at me a bit. I will probably need to explore something a little more sturdy before MMT. I wore my road runner shorts, Balega socks and an Asics singlet. For nutrition I ate 3 or 4 Hammer gels early on and then drank a couple bottles of Ensure, and ate a couple quarters of PB and J sandwiches. I also took numerous Endurolytes. I probably should have tried to take in a little more, but I never felt like my energy level got too low.
This has been my second trip out to Texas for a Tejas Trails run and I have been very impressed. The races are well organized, trails are exquisitely marked, and the aid stations have everything you could ask for. Hats off to Joe (the RD) and all the wonderful volunteers.

Thanks for coming to Texas (twice) and running with us Jeremy! I'm glad your races went well and I hope you had fun. We need to use social media to help out of towners get to races more easily. For instance, I could have driven 3 other runners from Austin and back on Sunday w/o problem. Good luck at MMT! Will that be your first 100? Take care, Steven (Austin TX)ReplyDelete
Texas was great, looking forward to hopefully coming back next year. I agree we need to communicate better/have a forum for information exchange especially for travelling runners. MMT won't be my first 100 attempt (85 miles at Oil Creek last fall, before being pulled with an injured ankle). I am looking forward to it - I am definitely getting my share of rocky trail this year.ReplyDelete

The anti-Islamic video that has caused uproar and has led to a violent protest in Libya is going to stay online, despite the White House's request for it to be removed.
According to Yahoo! News, Google Inc. said that it was censoring the video in Indonesia and India after they blocked it in Egypt and Libya, but they have kept it online for other outside countries.
DETAILS: President Obama Responds To Libya Attack
The White House has urged Google to investigate if the video violates Youtube's Terms of Services, but they said that it is within guidelines.
Google claims removing the video would be a response to political pressure as opposed to complying with a local law.
The company said:
"We've restricted access to it in countries where it is illegal such as India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt, given the very sensitive situations in these two countries," the company said. "This approach is entirely consistent with principles we first laid out in 2007."
PHOTOS: Prayers! U.S. Ambassador To Libya Killed In Deadly Attack
The video has led to storms of people to protest outside the U.S. Embassies in Libya, leading to the death of an ambassador and 3 Americans.

The GI Joe stash has been claimed. Thanks for playing
The GI Joe stash has been claimed. Thanks for playing
I found the SL case w/ the 3 SA 501st Troopers in it this morning at Target. I couldn't resist so I grabbed them all.
With all the trips to WM, Target, & HTS arrivals this weekend, I've been quite the busy Army Builder recently.
7 X KashyyyK Troopers
6 X Commando/SBD Comic
3 X SA 501st Clones
2 X Dartrooper
2 X Tri-Droid
Weekend Haul
Thanks to a tip from a plumber at Kmart, I got to Burbank Target at 8:30 this morning to find wave 1 remnants. No Gree or Kashyyk troopers though. As I turned, Hootie was right behind me, letting out a big sigh.
WM in Porter Ranch had some saggy legends with Capt Rex mail-in, and a singular Po Nudo which nobody seemed to want. Also 3 Jedi Evo sets, Mouse & Basso and Lt Jundland comic packs.
A buddy in Vegas found cases of wave 2 at WM.
My HTS boat came in today, all of '08 wave 1 minus Po Nudo, plus some HTS protective cases for my McQuarries. Tri Droid's card was VERY bent, but not creased - I don't really care since I ripped him open, but I can see where collectors might. The carded cases are underwhelming, they're thinner plastic than the Pro-tech brand and hold the TAC cards very loosely. Still, I'll put all my McQ's in them tomorrow, tape 'em closed on the bottom, and throw that on the wall.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Found a McSnowtrooper in the bottom--and I mean way in the bottom--of a go back cart at Pico Rivera Wal-Mart. I had to move a bunch of crap from that cart to one right next to it just to get to the figure.
Then found two Kashyyk troopers just hanging on the front of the pegs along with the rest of the wave at city of Commerce Target, at about 9 a.m. They must have just put them out. That's 6 Kashyyks for me, which is about right.
I've been seeing a buttload of G.I. Joe but the only figure I've gotten recently is the gold-headed Destro.
Galactic Barn Burner
Burbank Target had all the new Evolutions this morning, several cases actually. I noticed one lady walking away with a set of 4 plus some new GI Joe figures. Found Dinoco Mia/Tia finally! Found another McRebel with stand, but still haven't found Lava Panner, Gree or Kashyyk Troopers. Any help guys?
sorry, this was supposed to be a pm. Doh!

Division Champions!
Myrtle 58
Coldwater 55 (girls)
The Lady Hawks picked up the division 3-1A title Friday night, but not without a fight from the Lady Cougars, as Myrtle held on for the 58-55 win.
Myrtle jumped to a 20-6 lead in the first quarter, as Amber Williamson and Beth Goolsby combined for four three-pointers. Coldwater would go on an 11-3 run to close the first frame to pull within eight.
"I thought we came out on fire and had a chance to put the game away early on," Myrtle head coach Chris Greer said. "We had some turnovers and didn't play as tough after we took the lead."
The Lady Cougars had two runs in the second to inch their way back into the game, but two more three's by Goolsby in the frame would help to pace the Lady Hawks and keep them in the lead, 34-30, at the half.
Williamson opened the second half with a three for Myrtle, but the Lady Cougars toughened up on defense after that, forcing several turnovers and back court violations. Jerontay Clemons and Latina Futrell kept Coldwater in the game, as a basket by Clemons made it 47-42 going into the final frame.
After Aspriona Gilbert picked up her fourth foul at the beginning of the fourth, Futrell's free throws cut Myrtle's lead to 48-46, and moments later a steal and basket by Futrell would tie the game.
Myrtle would extend their lead back to four, 56-52, but Clemons would cut the lead to one with 33.8 seconds in the game.
Clemons had an opportunity to tie the game after being fouled by Halle Knowles, but was unable to connect on her free throw. Diana Suarez capped the win with her free throws, giving Myrtle the win over the top-seeded Lady Cougars.
Gilbert and Goolsby led the Lady Hawks with 17 each, while Williamson finished with 13.
Clemons led all scorers on the night with 28, while Futrell added 19.
Myrtle is now focusing on making it far into the playoffs, but Greer knows the road will be tough.
"When you get into the playoffs, you just work more on situations instead of practicing real hard," Greer explained. "The main focus is cutting down on mental mistakes. Tonight, we played a great game, if we had just cut down on our mental mistakes, we would have probably beaten a good team by even more points.
Greer knows the importance of this division title, and remembers a promise he made to this year's seniors when he first started coaching them.
"I coached them in the eighth grade, and we had a good team. We talked about how in five years, we were going to try to do big things, and we're doing it," Greer said. "Only three of them have hung around, and we've had an injury in Kiana Cox, and we're going to do our best to get her back, but I tell you, when you have seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth graders and juniors and seniors all stepping up together, we're a team. We're the Myrtle Lady Hawks, and I'm proud to coach them."
Myrtle 83
Wheeler 51 (Monday)
The Lady Hawks will host this weekend's 1A North Half Tournamment after defeating Wheeler 83-51 Monday night.
Beth Goolsby led the way with 26 points, followed by Aspriona Gilbert with 15 and Kesho Montgomery with 12.
Myrtle will be back in action on Thursday.
New Albany 64
Center Hill 40 (girls)
The road to redemption for the Lady Bulldogs ended Friday night, as they defeated Center Hill 64-40 to capture the Division 1-4A title at Itawamba Community College.
Two of the three loses for New Albany came at the hands of division foes, and after defeating Itawamba AHS Wednesday night, Center Hill was the remaining team the Lady 'Dawgs looked to defeat.
"The Itawamba game mattered the most to the girls," NAHS head coach John Stroud said. "They had beaten us, then Center Hill got us in the final game of the regular season at home, but the Itawamba game was huge because we knew if we lost, we would be on the road for the first round of the playoffs, so after beating them, we focused on Center Hill, and it was great to bounce back and defeat them."
After taking the 24-19 lead at the half, New Albany came out on fire in the second, outscoring Center Hill 23-10 in the third frame to take the comfortable lead and move on for the win.
"We wanted this win badly," Stroud said. "We played very well in the second half and we looked like the team we've had all season. We were clicking in all areas, and we're proud that we're now division champs, and we hope this carries over into the playoffs."
The story for the Lady Bulldogs all season has been their success with such a young team. Stroud has watched over the course of the season just how much his team has grown.
"We're young, but we're talented," Stroud explained. "We play very well together on any given night. You can tell now that the sophomores are looking more experienced and older, and our eighth grader is looking like a high school player. We have a lot to look forward to in the future, but right now we're staying focused on the present and hope to continue the success."
Taking care of the ball and causing less turnovers is Stroud's goal for his young squad going into the playoffs.
"We know that at this point it's a lose one and go home, and that's what I've been telling the girls. We need to reduce turnovers and take care of the ball. That's our big issue and that's what we're looking to improve on."
New Albany 50 Callaway 48 (Monday)
The Lady 'Dawgs struggled throughout the game, but Kebrina Lucas' two free throws with four seconds remaining gave New Albany the 50-48 win Monday night to advance the Lady Bulldogs into the next round of the playoffs.
Head Coach John Stroud wanted his team to work on eliminating turnovers in the playoffs, but his squad struggled on the night, as they had nine alone in the first quarter.
Falling behind 40-34 heading into the fourth, Lucas' basket tied the game at 44, and Jazmine Spears gave the Lady 'Dawgs the lead with 2:12 remaining in the game.
After Callaway hit a basket to tie the game at 48, Lucas was fouled with seconds remaining, and her shots advance New Albany to play Oxford Thursday afternoon.
Spears led New Albany with 19, followed by Kebrina Lucas with 14 and Tierra Lucas with 10.
New Albany's match-up versus Oxford will be at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Week 4 Notes: Sam Bradford is Better Than Advertised
Posted on 4 Oct 2010 by Bear Heiser.
You say Sam Bradford, I say poise. Rookies make mistakes, usually lots of mistakes. Bradford's poise in the pocket is perhaps his most impressive attribute. When he's faced with pressure, he follows all the rules. 1. Step up or away from pressure, which keeps the play alive 2. Throw the ball away when needed 3. Take a sack, instead of forcing a bad throw Against Seattle, Bradford made his bigge...

State legislators to consider universal background checks for guns
SPOKANE, Wash. - The gun control debate moves full steam ahead in Olympia this week with House Bill 1588, which would require universal background checks for the sale or transfer of any gun.
Right now, only licensed dealers in Washington State are required to run a background check when a gun changes hands. HB 1588 has bi-partisan support in the legislature, but that's not necessarily the case in Spokane.
At Sharp Shooting Indoor Range in east Spokane, you'll find T-shirts emblazoned with guns stating "pro-choice" and others that accuse the government of too much control. Owner Robin Ball, a National Rifle Association member and avid gun rights activist, does not support HB 1588.Universal background checks
"It's one step away from total firearms registration, which for gun owners that's a very slippery slope for us because it is the step before confiscation," Ball said.
Ball and state Rep. Matt Shea, a Republican out of Spokane Valley, share the same opinion about the bill. They believe it will lead to the government taking away all guns.
Shea sits on the House Judiciary Committee, which will hear arguments for the bill Wednesday morning.
"Our state constitution under Article One, Section Twenty-Four is very clear that the right to bear arms shall not be impaired and clearly this impairs the right to bear arms," Shea said.
The draft headed to the Judiciary Committee will require a background check before any sale or transfer of a gun, even if it is between two individuals. Background checks would be requested through local law enforcement and a fee of up to $20 can be applied. The Department of Licensing would provide a gun transfer application, where the results of the background check would be listed. If a seller does not follow those steps then they face a gross misdemeanor charge.
"The problem that I have with [the bill] is they're not showing us where we've had an issue, they're trying to fix something, a problem that doesn't exist," Ball said.
Despite objections from Ball and Shea the bill does have bi-partisan support, including two Republican co-sponsors.
Spokane Reps. Timm Ormsby and Marcus Riccelli, both Democrats, co-sponsored the bill and Riccelli says he'd never support a bill that would lead to the confiscation of guns.
"I'm a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and I think this bill, which enjoys good support, even with the NRA and nationally, to help keep our community safe while protecting gun rights," Riccelli said.
The bill would have to make it past the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday to then head to the House. After that, the Senate would have to approve the bill and then on to the governor's signature.

On our last Backpacking Trip we took along with us some honored Veterans. They had served their country with honor and dignity for years and it was fitting to take them on this last adventure for their retirement.
The Scouts built a really nice fire, got it hot and established a nice bed of coals. When the time was right we all stood around the fire and talked about our friend.. Old Glory.
This massing of cloth, red, white, and blue, the stars fading and a little tattered here and there had served for many years. It flew on a flag pole day and night, it had a light on it when the sun went down and came inside when the weather got really bad. the house it stood watch over was in a pleasant neighborhood, much like any other. Where kids played and lawns were mowed on Saturday mornings. Where garage sales brought strangers into the neighborhood, but they were friendly. A place were lawn signs supported their favorite candidate and Friday nights saw the community supporting the high school football team.
This honored Veteran stood tall and steadfast. He never flinched. He never disgraced that which he represented, He was proud and asked for nothing in return.
It was my turn to talk about our guest. I talked about him being a symbol of my home. I spoke of one of his brothers that flew over our camp in Iraq. A beacon that led me to safety each day. A banner that greeted me when I got home, and a flag that makes me proud when I see it waving in the breeze. It is a flag that seems to appear when things are great, waving in parades and standing as a sentinel as a reminder that we are America. It is always there when things get tough to. Today is September 11th. 8 years ago after we were attacked.. it was the flag that brought this country together. Flags were everywhere.. on cars.. houses.. and on t-shirts. Old Glory was the symbol that connected an America that just got smacked in the face.
We unfolded our friend and gave him a final salute. He was laid to rest in the Mt. Hood National Forest. He served his Country well.
God Bless America.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

| Nolan Gould and Atticus Shaffer were in the nationally televised Spelling Bee last week. But they're only the genius child actors who've most recently wound up in the spotlight for something besides their acting chops. The Daily Beast rounds up the brainy kids with SAG cards.

| Luke Dunphy is … not the smartest young man on TV, but Nolan Gould is quite the opposite. He turns his personality around to play the adventurous Luke. The "Modern Family" star was part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee this week and is a member of Mensa with an IQ of 150. He showed Ellen DeGeneres, on "The Ellen Show," that he is made up of the real-smart stuff.

| This 13-year-old TV actor brings comedy to "The Middle" in his role as the smart kid. Turns out, Atticus Shaffer can relate more to that role than some might realize. He participated in the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee, televised live on ESPN this week. His appearance on Jimmy Kimmel was most likely after this young man's bedtime, but he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.

| The child actor in "Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire" tested in the 99th percentile on his IQ test—when he was 6. The TV George Little might have been a little nerdy, which is perfect for this member of Mensa. The now 20-year-old has been off the acting radar for a few years, but maybe he is off discovering a new scientific theory.

| This MIT graduate earned a degree in physics and got a job working on missile defense for the U.S. government. He also went to Yale and received his juris doctor degree. Even when Charlie Korsmo was acting as a kid, his brain was wandering elsewhere—like to his science project, a working rain forest. His acting in "What About Bob?" and "Hook" was well received, but he definitely went on to accomplish a lot more.

| Her little role on "The Big Bang Theory" was not big enough for this genius. The "Blossom" child star kept up the grades while acting and went to UCLA, after turning down Harvard and Yale. She left with a degree in neuroscience, but did not stop. The smart mom continued on to get her Ph.D. from UCLA.

| The child genius always seems to be playing the younger version of somebody—he plays little Sylar in "Heroes" and little Chuck in NBC's "Chuck." However, Joshua Rush has a mind of his own. The TV actor is bilingual (English and Spanish) and was featured on a local news segment in Texas on how to raise smart kids. When he was even younger, he could name cars by only their logos.

Don't let them bait you! You have to remember there are teams that are good enough to be mentioned with the SEC elites and then there's everyone who wished they were good enough to be considered equal to an SEC powerhouse. True football fans know the difference!!!!!!
Your talking about a Georgia team that was without six starters due to injury. You take out two of the best backs in the country, the top three recievers on the team, and a starting safety on a young defense and let me see where ANY team is. That said, turnovers, not injuries got the Dawgs whipped Saturday.
"That's a fine dog you got there son. Looks like one of ya'll got the brains and the other one got the driver's license.".
A news conference will be held Wednesday in Dallas to announce the committee's members.
ESPN and The Associated Press have identified the other 12 members of the committee as:
• Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez
• Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, a former Air Force Academy superintendent
• USC athletic director Pat Haden
• Former NCAA executive vice president Tom Jernstedt
• West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck
• Former NFL and Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning
• Former Nebraska coach/athletic director Tom Osborne
• Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich
• Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
• Former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese
• Former USA Today reporter Steve Wieberg
• Former Stanford/Notre Dame/Washington coach Tyrone Willingham
The selection committee will choose the four teams that advance to the College Football Playoff beginning after the 2014 regular season, as well as rank and place at-large teams in the noncontract New Year's Day bowls -- the Cotton, Fiesta and Chick-fil-A.

Yea a thriller for sure. I thought Miami had it sealed, then UNC drives down the field like an NFL Elite QB lol
UNC QB did throw some pretty awful INT's and the play calling was lacking. The Offsides and Delay of game though on the 2nd to last drive that pushed the 3rd and 1 to 3rd and 10 was killer too.
But a 1-4 Team gave Miami all they could handle and some.

Remember it is the Bill of Rights not the Bill of Needs.
I've heard parts of it, and it just sounds like another campaign speech with plenty of the same stuff as always, but worse in some places, like, (paraphrasing) protect future generations ... with aggressive action on climate change! For God's sake, we can't even be sure that we can do ANYthing about the climate change that might exist ... could we have saved the dinosaurs? Can we stop and ice age by returning to caves? Then continuing the class warfare with saying that happiness should not be limited to "the few".
I have yet to hear any kind of reasonable "plan" mentioned in ANY speech with ANY of the rhetorical concepts. No mention of deficits or fiscal responsibilities or solutions to things like Medicare or SS funding.
And the MSM commentators varied from childish to lame.

Septoplasty is surgery to correct any problems in the nasal septum, the wall inside the nose that separates the nostrils.
See also: Rhinoplasty
Nasal septum repair
Most patients receive general anesthesia before septoplasty. This will make you asleep and pain-free. Some people have the surgery under local anesthesia, which numbs the area to block pain. You will stay awake if you have local anesthesia. Surgery takes about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Patients usually go home the same day.
Your surgeon will make a cut inside the wall on one side of your nose.
The main reasons for this surgery are:
People who snort large amounts of cocaine or other drugs over long periods of time may need septoplasty. Snorting drugs can damage the septum.
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for this surgery are:
You will meet with your anesthesiologist -- the doctor who will give you your anesthesia medicine and monitor your condition before, during, and right after your surgery. You will discuss your medical history to help determine the right amount and type of anesthesia to use. You may be asked to stop eating and drinking after midnight the night before the procedure.
Be sure you tell your doctor or nurse about any medicines you take, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription. Also tell your doctor if you have any allergies or if you have a history of bleeding problems.
You may be asked to stop taking any drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot 2 weeks before your surgery. Some of these are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and some herbal supplements.
You will go home on the same day as surgery. After surgery, both sides of your nose may be tightly packed (stuffed with cotton or spongy materials) so you do not get nosebleeds. Usually this packing is removed 24 to 36 hours after surgery.
Most septoplasty procedures successfully straighten the septum. Breathing often improves.

What is Headphone Impedance? Headphone Impedance is the electrical characteristic of the headphone voice coil and magnetic field coupling of the voice coil & magnet inside the headphone. Impedance is an electrical unit which expresses the combined Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance of the headphone's voice coil. In terms of matching to an amplifier, the headphone impedance is the "Load Impedance". An amplifier drives a headphone with voltage, the current drawn by the headphone is proportional to the headphone's impedance. As a rule of thumb, the... read more

A3 C14 odometer reading 11407 miles. Interesting note: from when we started this ride in Miami, FL, to this point (arriving at Karens house) we have ridden 9999.9 miles !!!
Rusty and I had a good nights sleep at Karens place. She has a beautiful house located on 18+ acres of land at the very end of an isolated stretch of road. At night all you can hear is the chirping of the night critters. Love it !!! Reminded me of when my parents used to live in Leesburg, FL, where it was so quiet.
Thanks to Eddie (Karens dad) we rode out on SR57 to SR8 rather than taking I-91. We passed through the town of Granville (http://www.townofgranville.org/) where Eddie and Verna live
We departed Karens home at 8am and at 4pm we pulled over at a Red Roof Inn in Aberdeen, Maryland (http://www.aberdeen-md.org/). We could have ridden on, but because of the time (almost rush hour) and the fact that we were approaching Baltimore, Washington DC, and Richmond, we decided to call it the day and get some shut eye right away so we could then depart in the early morning hours and bypass the traffic in these upcoming cities. We had an early dinner at Applebees, and I hit the sack by 6:30pm.
We only rode 350 miles today. Rodes we travelled:

After seeing the bit with the Pet Rock,I now know where Kenner got the idea for the Early Bird Kit.
I was born in 1970 so some of the stuff talked about so far is somewhat familiar. The one thing I had never heard of was the day-of-the-week panties. What the heck is up with that?!
I like the series, but can't quite fathom the producer's pick of celebrity commentators. Half of them look like they're way to young to remember any of that stuff. VH1 must get them all in a room, show them clips of movies, music, and commercials, then push them in the right direction in their comments.

First time I laughed during a "I L.T. 70s" show was with the Big Wheels. I remember flipping it upside down and spinning the front wheel with the pedals (nothing odd about that), but also yelling "Ice cream man! Ice cream man!" like they mentioned on the show. I have no idea why I did that!
I was invented in the mid-70s, so I am aware of many of the images from earlier than about 1974 after the fact.
Somehow, it's not as nostalgic-seeming as "I L.T. 80s" to me.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Well,1977 will be tonight. I'm sure there will be quite a few of us watching that episode.
Well, it's nearly midnight central time, and I might have to catch the reruns of the 1977 installment. I have enjoyed watching it and bringing back the memories! I was born in 65, so I remember most of the 70's..........even the gawd awful styles of those yesteryears! Bring back the 8-tracks.........NOT!

How cool, I just went over, flipped on the TV, put on VH1 and after the commercials it goes into the Star Wars segment of the year 1977 (well after Ponch did the "babes" of 77')!
How awesome!

Remember when VH1 had videos of music? Maybe that'll be on "I love the '90s".
I am not digging the '70s one anywhere near as much as the '80s series. At first, I chalked it up to being born in '75, but really, even comparing the content on an equal plane, the '70s just aren't as entertaining an episode in history to flash back to in this way.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Yea I totally agree. It is funny how they are making fun of it though moreso than saying "wow, I remember that..." because alot of them don't.Originally Posted by JediTricks
I will have to say that I was intrigued by learning a number of things that happened during the 70s that I didn't know. Like the floppy disk being invented and the computer mouse in 1970. It was rather freaky looking!!
But yea, I can't wait for I Love the 80s Strikes Back and hopefully there will be a Return of the Eighties too!!!!!
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!
Unless I missed them, which is a possibility, one thing that was less nostalgic about the I L.T. 70s series is that there have been less of the social and news items. It seems to be too focused on the pop culture aspects. The I L.T. 80s mentioned Reagan's assassination attempt, the Berlin Wall, stock market, etc. while I seem to have missed the fuel crisis, Vietnam (OK, I can see why they'd avoid this one), Watergate (I assume this was covered in the '74 program and I just didn't see it), Mars landing, etc.
I think the I L.T. 90s needs to wait at least 2-3 years before they come out with it. You cannot wax nostalgic after only 3 years or so. Example:
"Hey, do you remember 'The Macarena' dance?"
Yeah. But what about 'Pokemon' cards?"
"Wow... it seems like only three years ago sometimes..."
