|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
In the mood to type, which is rare, so I`ll relate the story of " Caught in Providence", it may be worth a chuckle.There`s a program by that name on local channels featuring Prov. municipal court sessions. Ordinary citizens go to court to beef about things like 47 unpaid parking tickets or loud music at 3 in the morning.
So, I had just bought my first boat and was taking it out for the first time in the bay. I put in at Bold Point ramp which is at the very top of the bay where the Seekonk river joins the upper bay. Upriver is a marina , downstream a few hundred yds is the open bay. There used to be a night club called Shooters with a few docks for the personovanti to tie up to but it had been closed for yrs. As I headed for the open water a cop in a Whaler that was hiding behind one of the docks came zooming out and stopped me, lights flashing, sirens wailing, acted like I was some sort of terrorist or somthing. After checking everything on the boat and finding nothing except the extinguisher was expired, he wrote me out a ticket for doing 8 MPH in a no wake zone. I said the club and docks had been closed for yrs and he said I don`t care, tell it to the Judge. So thats what I decided to do. I`d be damned if I was gonna pay $100. I was sent a summons to municipal court and showed up wearing my finist fishing tee shirt. I was called right after the guy fined $200 for having 4 tv`s in his SUV playing full blast. Judge Caprio has earned the respect of the people for his fairness and humor. After explaining what happened he asked me how big my boat was and I told him" It`s a 16` tin boat with a 40 horse on it. His reply " Oh a real ocean liner huh. Case dismissed"
I couldn`t believe how many people watch that show. Most people I know or work with told me about it and I became a real celebrity for 15 min.
|Dble Haul
|Rubbing it in? Heck no. That's good to hear.
Its too bad everything was in order. I was hoping for "Caught in Providence II."
I have tomorrow off but I am trying to resist the urge to get out there and get the garage organized for the summer and the boat waxed. Sunday looks good though.
Not to rub it in but you asked, in the 3 times out I`ve got 69 bass all while burning about 3 gal of fuel.
|Dble Haul
It's nice to hear that they are out there and doing their jobs. I'm especially glad that they're checking on the herring.
Get any fish today, or was this just another shakedown cruise?
Safety Checked
Hit the water early this morning for a beautiful day, couldn`t pass it up. Upon returning to the dock I could see the DEM wordens truck pulling up and by the time I tied up he walked out on the dock and did a through safety inspection and asked for the registration. He even checked to see if I had any herring on board even tho the fly rods were conspicuously standing in front of him. He was impressed that everything was in order, he said that 90% of boats were not up to compliance. It turned out to be a very pleasant meeting, on a Wed in April he wasn`t overly buzy, I was the only trailer in the lot. He said to tell people that they are out and checking so watch out or get it right.

Andersen names Badgers' coaching staff
Five new assistants join Hammock, Strickland
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin football head coach Gary Andersen has named his coaching staff.
Thomas Hammock and Ben Strickland will return from last year's staff. Hammock will continue to coach running backs, while Strickland will again coach the defensive secondary.
New coaches include offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Andy Ludwig, who ran the offense at San Diego State the last two seasons.
The defensive coordinator will be Dave Aranda, who was with Andersen at Utah State last season.
Secondary coach Bill Busch was at Utah State the last four years.
Offensive line coach T.J. Woods was also an original member of Andersen's staff at Utah State.
Defensive line coach Chad Kauha'aha'a spent the last two years at Utah.
"They are quality coaches who bring the experience and philosophies that will enable us to continue playing great offense and defense at Wisconsin," Andersen said. "They are also individuals who take care of kids first and will coach them in the right way."

Archdiocese of Chicago
Sr. Joan McGuire, O.P. was the Director of the Office of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and is now retired. She has been engaged in ecumenical and interreligious relations in the Archdiocese since 1987. Sr. McGuire is a member of the newly merged Dominican Sisters of Peace.
The theme of the 2013 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is "What Does God Require of Us?" The question is a cry from the prophet Micah, who lived seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ. In his time, as in ours, people were suffering from oppression - political, economic, moral and religious. Micah recognized the cause of their suffering and criticized both political and religious authority for abusing their power and stealing from the poor.
Micah also provided a way to move through these oppressive realities. He exhorts his Hebrew people to walk in pilgrimage "up to the mountain of the Lord…that the Lord may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his path (4.2), the path of peace and justice.
A second way to move from oppressive realities is to hear the answer to Micah's question, "What Does God Require of Us?" God requires that we should "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God (cf.6:8)."
The World Council of Churches, with Orthodox and Protestant members, and the universal Catholic Church, through the Vatican, are co-sponsors of the world-wide Week of Prayer for Christian Unity who chose representatives from India to plan this year's theme.
Why was that powerful question of what God requires of us chosen for this year's Week of Prayer for Christian Unity? It may be because of the circumstances of the people who planned the 2013 observances.
Christians in India are a very small minority.Catholics are 80% of the very poorest in the country that belong to the lowest caste. Caste, a system of inherited social class restricts the association of a member of one caste to associate with the other social classes. The country is trying to alter this system but it still exists. We know how long it takes for discrimination to be irradiated from hearts and minds even after laws have been passed.
Perhaps in India the planners experienced or observed discrimination and oppression and wanted the world to hear Micah's compassionate but challenging response- "to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God."
Locally, the annual service on June 9th is sponsored by Ecumenism Metro Chicago that is comprised of nineteen Christian communities in the Chicago area. Judicatory leaders from these churches will offer prayers for Christian Unity. An opening reception at 4:00 pm will highlight the various ways Chicago's churches celebrated the 2013 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25) and provide attendees an opportunity to dialogue with members of other Christian churches.
In our city of neighborhoods, it would be wonderful if your parishioners joined in the service as St. Thomas. It is a great opportunity for everyone to promote and pray for Christian unity with neighboring Christians.
We're looking forward to seeing you on Ecumenical Sunday, June 9, 2013 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Cathedral, 5000 St. Charles road – Bellwood, Illinois 60104.
The sponsor of the event, Ecumenism Metro Chicago, chose St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Cathedral to host the 2013 Ecumenical Sunday because the location of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is located in India, especially in the State of Kerala. The Eparchy of St. Thomas of the Syro-Malabars of Chicago is located in Elmhurst, IL. In addition to the Cathedral in Bellwood, there are Syro-Malabar parishes in Maywood and Morton Grove. The Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church are in full communion. For some, including Roman Catholics, participating in prayer at an Eastern Catholic Church may be a new experience. All are welcome. Please join us in prayer for Christian unity.
What does God require? God requires us to continue together doing justice, loving kindness and walking gentle with our God. This is what Christians are called to do, together. Prayers for visible Christian Unity throughout the year, both personally and when two or three are gathered, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Risen Christ, and make the dream of visible Christian Unity a reality.

By the spring of 2009 I had given up my car and believed that it was simply going to take me 2 hours, each way, to get to work and back by transit. To me, there was no other way.
When I purchased a Marin Hamilton 29er I thought I'd found a simple, sturdy bike that would take me to and from my girlfriend's apartment on the other side of town. After spending 4 hours of my day on transit, taking another trip by subway and streetcar was of no interest to me, so why not bike I said. Turns out the answer to that question would open up a much larger world for me. I found an escape from the restricting timetable of transit and I found a new obsession.
After many thousand kilometres the easy-going singlespeed setup of my Marin took me to work and back and recently, on 100+ km rides to my hometown. Now that I work from home my commute needs have changed. My Marin is now my one and only piece of exercise equipment (but you're more than a ThighMaster to me, bike). My commute is as long as I want it to be as I search for new mobile offices around Toronto, hopefully spending part of my day in a warm space with tasty espresso and wifi. You see, I simply couldn't give up commuting, that's how much I loved my morning and evening rides to and from the office.
As I started to venture further and further from the city on my weekend rides I began to feel limited by a singlespeed. Just one more gear option could come in handy on longer climbs or descents. So I began searching for options and with 70+ bicycle shops in Toronto, well the options were plenty.
I test rode touring bikes, road bikes, cyclocrossers and everything in between. I tried out every frame material I could and started to enjoy the feel of drop bars. There are hundreds of beautiful, functional and simply awesome bicycles to be found here in town. Of course, many of the bikes that offered a better frame and components than my existing bicycle cost $1,000+, which when you're looking for quality is certainly reasonable, but when you're working on a budget like mine, well, they quickly become out of reach.
Knowing that I really enjoy the ride and position of the Marin Hamilton 29er I started looking at conversion options. With horizontal, rear-facing dropouts the Marin frame would make adding a derailleur challenging (though not impossible) so I began reading about internally geared hubs and the leading manufacturers; Sturmey Archer, Rohloff and Shimano.
With horizontal dropouts, accommodating one of these hubs on the Marin would be relatively simple. So I decided upon the Shimano Nexus Redline 8-speed hub due to the positive reviews online and middle of the road pricing. I paired the hub with a Mavic A 319 rim and chose a Shimano twist shifter.
After one week and a couple hundred kilometres I'm really enjoying the gearing options of the 8-speed hub. Being so used to a singlespeed I find myself sticking to just a few of the gearings, often forgetting that I can switch to higher or lower gears. However, when I do remember the options make the few hills on my daily rides far more enjoyable, both riding up and down.
I took the Marin out for a 35 km rain ride recently and the hub performed flawlessly. Once dry there was no change in performance as well. The hub does add around 3 lbs of weight to the rear of the bike. It is noticeable but doesn't affect the ride.
I offer many thanks to Martin at Hoopdriver who helped me decide on what parts I'd get and for doing a great job on the installation.
You can learn more about Shimano Nexus parts here.
Be sure to visit the Hoopdriver web site or stop by the shop on College just east of Dufferin.

Get the Wolves newsletter
12:19 22nd October 2013
Skipper's call for return to winning ways
Samuel Ricketts today revealed Wolves are itching to get back out there at Molineux tonight and take on the challenge of another passing team in visitors Oldham.
After a fortnight without league action before Saturday's 1-1 draw with Coventry, tonight's fixture is the second of three in a busy eight-day period but the Wolves captain insists players always prefer to play rather than train.
And he says the squad are keen to continue to improve on home soil and impose the sort of fluency seen in the last away game at Colchester against visitors to Molineux.
"Any player would rather play games than train and we're looking forward to playing again," he says.
"It's a night game and the atmosphere is always good under lights and it's going to be another challenge for us.
"We're facing another side who like to pass the ball like Swindon and Crawley did and it will be a test for us to stop them playing and implement our game on the opposition.
"It's been interesting in that we always knew teams would raise their game to play against us this season, but I expected a lot more physical battles.
"A lot of teams have tried to cause us problems by passing the ball.
"They have shown a desire to pass the ball through us, but most of the time we have shown a desire to be more effective and it's worked.
"We're still growing as a side, but, as we showed at Colchester, we dominated them and killed them off with our passing game and they're a team who have a reputation as a good passing team.
"There were times on Saturday when our interlink play in the first half dominated Coventry.
"What we try to do is play a variation of passes - long passes, not just hopeless long balls, and sometimes short passes, to mix things up.
"We're trying to stretch the opposition and use the width of the pitch at Molineux.
"Teams come to Molineux and look to stifle the game in the middle of the park so we try to use the wings and get our wingers involved.
"We want to get back to winning games as quickly as possible and hopefully we'll do that tonight."
Amid the disappointment of the Sky Blues late equaliser on Saturday, Ricketts at least took comfort in the fact that Wolves snuffed out the free-scoring visitors for virtually all of the 90 minutes.
Indeed the late goal was the first conceded by Wolves in some 467 minutes.
"Coventry are arguably the best team that have come to Molineux this season," said Ricketts.
"They're in very good form and but for the 10-point deduction for entering administration before the start of the season would be sat in the top six on 21 points.
"So we always knew it was going to be a good test for us but I thought we played well.
"Both teams played well and looked hungry and we were disappointed not to have won the game.
"But there were lots of positives to come out of it and things to be pleased with.
"Their front two have scored 18 goals between them this season but as a team we handled them very well and kept them quiet and overall we looked solid.
"If you gave their lad that chance again 10 times I don't think he'd connect with it as cleanly and it had to be a good strike to beat Carl Ikeme with the form he's been in.
"Nine times out of 10 he would have saved it from that angle but he took it that well, the ball was in before he could react to it.
"Generally though, our performance was of a really good standard and you have to give them credit in the way they played and didn't allow us to dominate.
"In the first half we created some half chances and Leigh Griffiths was only a yard away from getting on the end of one so we were there or thereabouts."
And as Wolves return quickly to Molineux tonight (7.45pm), the captain has once again hailed the support which saw 22,939 - the second highest crowd in the entire Sky Bet Football League – through the turnstiles at the weekend.
"The fans have been magnificent and they can see we're a team that's hungry to succeed and they appreciate there's no lack of effort from us," he said.
"Even after we conceded, we still wanted to go again and get another goal back.
"I think the Wolves fans appreciate honesty and hard work and I think that's what we're giving them."

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
Wiley Young, 55, his fiancee Danica McCord, 46, and her daughter Destiny McCord, 13, were all in church Sunday morning but that was the last time they were all seen outside their home in the Macedonia community.
The three were found dead in their Lee County Road 49 home around 8:30 Tuesday morning by Young's son Jason, a Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks game warden.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said friends and family tried to call the three Monday but had no luck.
Johnson said the bodies were found in the living room and kitchen area of the house with one fatal gunshot wound each.
One gun, a .45-caliber handgun, was found at the scene but Johnson said it was about equal distance from each body.
The gun has been taken to the crime lab in Batesville and the bodies to Jackson for autopsies.
The young girl, Destiny McCord, was found closest to the front door, her mother in the kitchen area and Young between the two.
Johnson said he will not confirm the specific nature of the shooting – whether a suicide, homicide-suicide or shooting involving someone outside the home – but said investigators believe the shooting was contained within the home and that the community has no reason to worry about a loose suspect.
"We do not believe we have anyone that we are looking for in the general area that would be responsible for this and you can take that for what it's worth," Johnson said. "We want people to know it is safe and there is no need for alarm at this point."
Grieving family members began to arrive at the crime scene around 9:30 a.m.
Investigators swept the area in and around the home all morning and then removed the bodies at 1 p.m. to transport them to Jackson for autopsies.
Destiny McCord was a seventh grader at Guntown Middle School and a guard on the school's basketball team.
"She was a wonderful kid," said Principal Steven Havens. "She was a great representative of our school. She was just a sweet, kind, little girl."
Havens said counselors will be at the school today to help grieving students and teachers.
Charlotte Dobson is one of the nearest neighbors, about two hundred yards south of the McCord home. She said she hadn't heard or seen anything suspicious in the last few days.
"I never met them but I would see them in the back yard shooting guns," she said. "This has really freaked everyone out."
James Dillard lives south of Dobson.
"We were shocked," he said about seeing emergency crews lining the streets Tuesday morning. "They were very nice folks."
This is the first time this year someone has died in Lee County during an altercation involving a weapon. Johnson said this is also the first time in his memory that three people have died in the same incident in the county.
Johnson said authorities will release more information once the autopsies are complete.

Thread: Now an ammonia reading :(
Now an ammonia reading :(
Following this:
Nitrates went up again, despite continuing with WC. I did several daily 75% WC, moved ornaments to vacuum gravel in caves/etc. Thought I'd done the right thing but seem to have triggered a mini cycle? Ammonia reading of 1ppm yesterday - first time I'd seen any in many months Stopped feeding, did another 75% WC, added extra Prime ... today 0.5ppm. So it's more WC for me.
Where did I go wrong?
My tank, nothing special but mine
Ammonia reading after a successful cycle leads to a few questions,
How do you clean your filter and media?
How often are you losing fish besides the two in that link?
Your doing water changes is the best remedy right now. Try and keep the ammonia level under 0.5ppm. Looks like your in for a bit of work until this clears up.
Having all those plants in your tank does make it difficult to find a deceased fish as you said. Mine usually end up against the filter in-take.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
Thanks for your response.
Not lost any more fish since those two in one night, but I have lost a small apple snail.
Haven't cleaned the filter or filter media in a few weeks. I used to just wring out the sponges in tank water and tip out the canister. Is this something I should do now? The filter intake has a sock over it to protect the shrimpies (I opened the canister once to find a shrimp waving up at me) so there are never any large bits of anything in the canister.
0ppm this morning but that's probably still last night's Prime ... Will check again this evening and presumable do another WC! Luckily tank is only 5m from a tap so it's not too hard work!
if you were not cleaning your substrate before, and just started now, that can sometimes lead to water quality problems if there was a buildup or crud in your substrate form un-eaten food or fish poop (or both). Once you start cleaning the substrate, that build-up can be released into the water causing the types of thing you are talking about here, specifically increasing ammonia and nitrates .
Reguardless of the exact cause, keep handling the situation as you are doing right now, testing daily and large water changes to keep the water safe based on your test results. I would also suggest to keep cleaning the substrate with your waterchanges just to be safeIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

text: Yesterday my 18 mo old BLF vomited a small amount of blood twice after vomiting up some grass. Amount was small, I'd guess 2 Tbs, each time, and was fresh, bright red. I called vet, he said bring in the vomit, feed her a cup of food and bring her in. He checked her out, his initial concern was "anticoagulants", but said most likely she had cut her mouth and/or esophagus chewing/swallowing a stick or similar. Also mentioned the possibility of a rare bacteria that could cause an ulcer and gave me some antibiotics. Rat poison is a near impossibility-the only time she is not in her crate/kennel is when we are working out, or she is in the house. She seems 100% fine, eating/drinking normal, #2's normal (not black), but of course I worry. Anyone have experiences similar to this???

Shares of Nuance Communications (NUAN) were down 2% after the company announced that it would add two new board members from Icahn Enterprises: Carl Icahn's son, Brett Icahn, along with David Schechter, who together manage Icahn Enterprise's Sargon Portfolio.
The elder Icahn, who owns close to a 17% stake in the firm, has been aggressively buying the stock in recent months and became an activist shareholder in August. Schechter and the younger Icahn won't be replacing outgoing members, just increasing the total size of the board.
FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives reiterated his Market Perform rating on the stock, writing that investors are left guessing what Icahn will do next.
Given the fundamental weakness at Nuance over the past few quarters we believe Icahn has many potential scenarios for Nuance after taking on board representation, including: 1) the removal of the current CEO/addition of new business leaders (e.g., healthcare), 2) a potential split up/divestiture of Nuance's businesses, and 3) the ultimate sale of the company further down the road. Over the last few months the Icahn ownership has put a "floor" on Nuance shares, in our opinion, as investors have anticipated that taking on board seats in the company could be the catalyst to move Nuance in a direction that would significantly enhance shareholder value.
Aside from the company's announcement of its September quarter results expected in November, we believe the company's annual meeting (most likely in the January 2014 timeframe) or its annual analyst day (typically in December) could be platforms for discussing potential strategic changes in the business. While over the last few quarters Nuance's fundamental profile has deteriorated as the core growth engines (healthcare and especially mobile) have been disappointing given some execution issues and secular trends we believe Nuance is well positioned with a strong product cycle and solid market opportunity.
Shares of Nuance are down 20.5% in the past year. The stock took a hit in August despite reporting a better-than-expected third quarter, as investors were disappointed in its guidance.

Overloading a system by running it as hard as the drive motors allow will often break it as many machines aren't built with protective mechanical safeties such as simple wasp-waist shear points on driveshafts, shear pins, or mechanical governors.
It's easier to control machinery electrically and when a targeted operator doesn't expect malicious control operation they aren't likely to have designed with it in mind.

Brewster, N.Y. – (07/20/11) – A bill that protects the jobs of public employees who are called to serve their country is now on the books in New York State. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today signed The Ball, Castelli Military Protection Act (S4583A) into law. The bill, sponsored by Senator Greg Ball (R, C – Patterson) and Assemblyman Robert Castelli (R, C – Goldens Bridge), protects public employees' jobs when they are absent on military duty.
"The last thing a deploying soldier should have to worry about is whether he or she has a job when they come home," said Senator Ball, who is the Chairman of the New York State Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs. "I am proud to have worked with my fellow veteran, friend and colleague Bob Castelli, in getting this important piece of legislation passed and signed by the Governor," added Chairman Ball.
The legislation was created following the layoffs of Army Sergeants Anddy Moreno and Alvin Taylor, who were let get by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) last year while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill says that no public employer in New York shall abolish a position occupied by a person absent on military duty, based solely upon the fact that the positions are filled by individuals engaged in military duty.
The legislation passed in the New York State Assembly, sponsored by Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli.
Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli said, "I am pleased that Governor Cuomo has signed this important piece of legislation, protecting our State's Guard, and Reserve military personnel from employment discrimination while activated in the service of their Country. The protections provided in this bill are an important first step in ensuring that when our military service members deploy in the service of their Country, that we on the home front will protect their jobs for them, while they protect our freedom for us."

yesterday trawling through the member list pulling out
anyone I knew, or whos work I knew of. My apologies if I
missed you, I was trying my best.
So why is it that I havent apparently been certified at
all, yet I know for a fact that at least 2 people have
certified me in the last 24 hours.
Looks like I have a lot to learn yet :)
UPDATE Well looks like I was not able to cert myself as an Observer, so I have upgraded to Apprentice. I'll leave it up to the rest of you to decide whether I am worthy of it.

Book Animation Tech Demo on the N900
In the course of learning to use QML, I have tried to build a book animation with QML for MeeGo. It not only runs well on the N900 with Maemo5, but also on the WeTab, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t with MeeGo, my Ubuntu Laptop, and a friend even showed me how he was running it on Windows.
This is truly "Code less. Create more. Deploy everywhere." :)
This is a short video running a tech demo I made for the N900.
Maybe we'll see some MeeGo software with this technology one day. For now it's only a tech demo looking for an application.

Like Tom Hanks, Jonah got his start as a funnyman, with projects like 40 Year Old Virgin, Accepted, and Knocked Up. And maybe that's what he does best, but Jonah more than proved he can do drama in Moneyball, for which he was nominated for an Oscar. He'll appear alongside Leo DiCaprio and Samuel Jackson in the Western drama Django Unchained this December, and again with Leo in the Scorcese-directed The Wolf of Wall Street. Jonah will still be exercising his comedic chops with Good Time Gang and the rumored Zoolander 2, but it looks like he enjoyed the taste of the dramatic he got in Moneyball. Not to mention, Jonah seems to be a standout guy.

Is it just me or is Dan looking oddly sexy in this confused pic? Anyway, the Harry Potter megastar is one of the first candidates that came to mind for a new Tom Hanks. He demonstrates both comedic and dramatic acting chops in the HP series, and has handled his catapult to superstardom with ease and without arrogance. I watched him on The Actor's Studio, and the thing that stuck out most in his mind was that Daniel said something along the lines of, "I am very much aware that everyone would be going crazy over anyone who got the part of Harry, so I just feel grateful it was me." He honestly just seems like a down-to-earth guy. Career wise, he's done various genres, including historical drama (My Boy Jack), horror (The Woman In Black), and musical theater (How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying). Look for Daniel to make more smart choices in his career coming up, as he plays Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, a biopic about 1940s beat poets, a young poet in a 2013 pilot with Jon Hamm and Adam Godley, and Pinocchio.

Okay yeah, Tom Hanks was never in a High School Musical equivalent, but there is no denying that Zac Efron is a real talent, and has gone a long way to show his range in the past couple of years. First of all, if you haven't seen 17 Again, Zac's actually hilarious in it. Later this year, you'll see Zac in the dramedy Liberal Arts, as well as the Cannes-premiere drama, The Paperboy. We know he can do chick flicks (Hello The Lucky One). And at just 24, Zac looks like he's on his way to being as prolific as Mr. Hanks, with four more films set for release in the next year.

I'm just gonna go ahead and be honest, I had no idea who Josh Hutcherson was before The Hunger Games, which means I am shocked to learn just how many acting credits he has at only 19 years old. Though he's done mainly teen flicks so far, Josh has the chops and good guy appeal that puts him in the running. He'll appear in Red Dawn with Chris Hemsworth in November, as well as Hunger Games: Catching Fire in 2013. His opportunities are only going to increase as the next two films in the Hunger Games trilogy are released, and we'll just have to wait and see what Josh does with them.

Wow, who knew Shia got his start doing stand up comedy? This guy has been compared to Tom Hanks in the past, though the string of action films has made him drift a little closer toward the career of the other Tom... Cruise that is. As long as he doesn't go down the Scientology road, I think he can avoid that fire. Shia's done everything from a goofy (but, I think, legitimately funny) kids TV series to crime dramas to epic sports dramas to artsy short films with butterflies and abuse to movies about robots taking over the world. (I'm just going to go ahead and call Transformers 2 and 3 a couple of missteps for the purpose of creating a financial cushion so he could pursue other more artistically valuable projects.) You'll see him in the Western Lawless coming in August, as well as The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, The Company You Keep, and Triple Nine in 2013. Another one who started out in comedy and then proved himself in other arenas, Shia is a definite contender for Tom Hanks of this generation.

For 31 year old Chris Pine, it's all going to depend on his next couple of roles. And by that I mean, he best not play Christian Steele. Sure, he's appeared in a couple of duds (See Just My Luck and This Means War), but Chris Pine has definitely shown range, particularly in the recent People Like Us. Coming up, he'll lend his voice as Jack Frost in the animated Rise Of The Guardians and will appear in the untitled Star Trek sequel and an untitled Jack Ryan project based on a Tom Clancy novel. Keep an eye on this one.

Just in case you haven't heard enough about Liam Hemsworth with the engagement madness lately, get ready to be seeing a lot more of him, with seven, count 'em, SEVEN, upcoming film projects: war drama Love and Honor, action film The Expendables 2, NYPD drama Empire State, time travel flick Timeless, thriller Paranoia, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and adventure film Arabian Nights. That diverse enough for ya? Depending on his performances in allll these films, and the potential for a messy breakup with Smiley, we'll see where Liam takes his career.

Emile Hirsch made his Hollywood debut in 2002's The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, and hasn't been out of work since. He appeared in the critically acclaimed Into the Wild and Milk, but he's also played a lovesick teenager in a comedy with The Girl Next Door. Look for him this year in the drama The Motel Life with Dakota Fanning this year, and next year in the comedy Prince Avalanche with Paul Rudd and the dramedy A Long Way Down. Another similarity between Emilie and Mr. Hanks? Devotion to the environment. Emile participated in Summit on the Summit, an expedition to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for the world's need for clean water.

This former Mickey Mouse club member made the move into "serious film" at age 19, and hasn't looked back since. He was nominated for Best Actor for Half Nelson in 2006, and has since appeared in Oscar nominated films Blue Valentine, Drive, and The Ides of March, along with the Golden Globe nominated comedy Crazy Stupid Love. Solid film selection? Check. Good guy appeal? Eh... I'd say half check. Not that he's a bad guy (I know, I've seen the video), but Ryan is quite the ladies man, and his dating history reads like a who's who of female Hollywood royalty: Sandra Bullock, Rachel McAdams, Kat Dennings, Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde, and now Eva Mendes. Clearly the man has just as diverse a taste in women as he does in films. Upcoming for Ryan is Sean Penn crime dramas Gangster Squad andThe Place Beyond The Pines, thriller Only God Forgives, action flick Logan's Run, and a Terrence Malik music drama that is untitled as of yet.

Billy Elliot, King Kong, Jumper, and The Adventures of Tin Tin. Even if you don't recognize his name right off the bat, you know his work. He was nominated for and won a plethora of awards for Billy Elliot in 2000, and he's acted in some great films ever since. For new releases from Jamie, look for crime dramedy Filth at the end of this year, and thriller Snowpiercer and rom com Fighting Jacob in 2013. I am hoping the recently reunited couple, Jamie and Evan Rachel Wood, eventually get married and stay that way like Rita and Tom.

Jason's Horrible Bosses co-star Lindsay Sloane actually referred to him as an "early career Tom Hanks," and the Saturday Night Live star does have the handsome but not threatening good looks and quick wit that Hanks is famous for. Though his resume consists of almost entirely comedies at this point, it looks as if he'll be foraying into drama a little bit with This Is Where I Leave You. Though it seems that Jason will be sticking mostly to his comedic guns — at least for now — he definitely has the potential to go all Tom Hanks up in here.

Starbucks Canada is not offering this gluten free cake. So we had to make our own:
Though awareness hasn't reached it's goal, I'd agree that GF foods showing up in places like starbucks and major name brands such as General Mill's offering GF choices is a sign that the voice of the GF community is being heard. I posted a review of this product on the NFCA's hot products blog http://glutenfreehotproducts.com/2009/05/06/gf-treats-at-starbucks/ .
I've tried them - twice this week - they are great! The label says they are made with all natural ingredients. Online it doesn't list it but the packaging says it has rice flour.

Family: Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies view all from this family
Dimensions 1 7/8-2 3/8" (48-60 mm).
Endangered Status The Callippe Silverspot, a subspecies of the Callippe Fritillary, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. This butterfly of the San Francisco Bay Area was once known from 14 different locations; it is now known to exist in only two places. Its grassland habitats, containing the Johnny Jump-up plants on which its caterpillars feed, have been destroyed and degraded thoughout the region by urbanization. Recreational use of its habitat has also been a major factor, as both the plants and the caterpillars and pupae have been crushed by hikers, horses, and off-road vehicles. Collectors, desiring rare butterflies for their collections, have also contributed to the Callippe Silverspot's decline. The habitat of one population, on San Bruno Mountain in San Mateo County, is on protected land and is safe from development. The other population is in a city park and is much more vulnerable to human interference.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Canyons & caves, Meadows & fields.
Range Northwest, Southwest, Plains, Western Canada, Rocky Mountains, California.

"When America sneezes, the world catches cold." That's a variant of what Klemens von Metternich wrote about France during the Napoleonic period in the early 1800s.
In the same vane, when the Los Angeles Lakers are under-the-weather all of basketball feels a tad queasy.
With his title in tow, LeBron James may be the contented face of the NBA and other clubs can surely pack a punch, but if there's an America's Team on the pro hardwood circuit it has to be the men in purple & gold of southern California.
Don't like the Lakers as NBA standard-bearer? Tough noogies. Find another team that's done their fans as proud as have the Lakers over past sixty years and you can complain.
Celtics had a good run there but have fashioned just one title ('08) since '86; the Knicks' drought is so long it raises concerns over climate change; Bulls will milk the Jordan / Jackson legacy dry, content waiting on good fortune to land in their lap again; and only time will tell whether the Spurs, Heat, Mavs and the myriad of contender / pretenders that pop up every decade will make the long-term investment standard-bearing requires.
Whether it was the Yankees, Maple Leafs, Packers or Gophers football and their 6 national crowns that provided the template, I don't know. What I do know is that when the NBA set-up shop in the Land of 10,000 Lakes in 1947, the new ownership created a strategy for success that's remained in place as long as any other franchise in all of sportdom.
From those early days when original superstar George Mikan carried the frozen Lakers on his back ('49-50, '52-54), to the Baylor / West era, Wilt's arrival and first golden title in '72, Kareem's return, then the magical ride of Earvin Johnson & friends to the Jacksonian Era (Kobe), LA's foray into the NBA has been great for its fans and good for the game.
As of this writing LAL's record stands at 15-18. Not in full funk yet but starting to give a faint feeling of futility.
The numbers tell a tale.
Kobe Bryant's putting up points like Michael Jordan was pre-Phil (30.5), bidding time while he and everyone around him tries to find their bearings.
Pau Gasol's numbers are down (8.5 REB / 12) as he adjusts to the new arrivals and bears-up under the constant talk of trade.
Prize pre-season pick-up Dwight "Pip" Howard of the "Great Expectations" has seen his offensive boards ebbing low (3.7) but overall puts up respectable digits (12 REB / 17+).
The other half of Lakers surprise off-season haul, Steve Nash, is rounding into form (8.2 APG / 10.2) since returning from a leg injury that had him sidelined from tip-off. The challenge: Is there a power-sharing or does Nash take charge and direct the flow?
Team tallies: Lakers are fifth in scoring (102.8) but just four spots up on NBA worst Charlotte (103.8) in points allowed (100.5), in the top-half of FG% (45.3), near the rear in FT% (69) but just behind leader Golden State (46+) in all important RPG category (45.8).
Recent coaching changes have taken their toll on continuity, chemistry and confidence.
Mike Brown's firing felt like panic, Kupchak & Buss' flirtation with Phil Jackson smacked of a bad, discount chain, shoe-store interview in Green Bay and current mastermind Mike D'Antoni's record is spotty: solid in Phoenix, so-so in NYC.
It's too easy and a bit lame to blame their current malaise on "old" age (Bryant). A likely motivational move by their team-leader but not carefully crafted when it comes outta' the mouth of one of the NBA's aging war-horses (34).
Kobe may've signed-off on the D'Antoni hire to show Steve he's team-minded and fully-vested in his addition to the Lakers' roster. If yes, a classy move by KB but complicated when Jackson was also in the mix. Phil's too savvy to demand the sun, moon and stars from Buss, though, certainly had every right to do so given his credentials and the State of Lakerland at the time, a state it's not all together clear has improved much.
But the Lakers have 'crossed the Rubicon' with Mike D., for the rest of this season. There's still plenty of time to turn this thing around and make the playoffs, a place where anything can happen and often does in today's wild & wacky sports world.
I see an intelligent, experienced Lakers' team, deep in talent and guided by a skillful coach, all of whom, through some calculated trial & error, need time to make the proper adjustments. More specifically, better defense, fewer 3-pointers, more inside game, protect the ball (15.5 TOG) and concentration when at the charity stripe.
A season can take on a feel, a mood where either it keeps clicking or instead stays out of sync. This Lakers' squad may need more than one season to gel, more time to flavor that broth that too many cooks can spoil if not of the same recipe. The new-fangled Miami Heat of a few years back had a better record to this point than Kobe's crew but also needed their own time to find a cohesiveness and style for success.
Words to the wise: I'd get my licks in now when opposing these Lakers because when they do hit their stride, watch out NBA.

Joined the EFF using paypal today with the "DMCA" listed as the reason. (thanks for the reminder in someone elses diary, I had been meaning to do that).
Also sent a suggestion to paypal: I would like a way to show proof of payment to third parties. (so that Alice can prove to prove to Cathy that she paid Bob).
It could be done either requiring Cathy to be a paypal user (they would like that I'm sure) or alternatively to anyone not even being a user by making the page a "one-shot" that after the viewer clicks a "confirm that i have read the proof" button it goes away [so that one proof couldn't be used multiple times].
I suggested it for the purpose of selling items saying "proceeds will be donated to the EFF" (or charity of choice that accepts paypal). That way buyers could be sent proof of the truth in that statement.
The alternative "fun" use would be for thugs to get proof from you that you made your weekly blackmail payment to the thug's boss.

Alternate name: Musclewood, Ironwood, Blue Beech
Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description A small hardwood tree in the genus Carpinus also occasionally known as blue-beech, ironwood, or musclewood. It is native to eastern North America, from Minnesota and southern Ontario east to Maine, and south to eastern Texas and northern Florida. It also grows in Canada (southwest Quebec and southeast Ontario), Mexico (central and southern), Guatemala, and western Honduras.
It is a small tree reaching heights of 10–15 m, rarely 20 m, and often has a fluted and crooked trunk. The bark is smooth and greenish-grey, becoming shallowly fissured in old trees. The leaves are alternate, 3–12 cm long, with prominent veins giving a distinctive corrugated texture, and a serrated margin. The male and female catkins appear in spring at the same time as the leaves. The fruit is a small 7–8 mm long nut, partially surrounded by a three- to seven-pointed leafy involucre 2–3 cm long; it matures in autumn. The seeds often do not germinate till the spring of the second year after maturating.
There are two subspecies, which intergrade extensively where they meet:
Carpinus caroliniana subsp. caroliniana. Atlantic coastal plain north to Delaware, and lower Mississippi Valley west to eastern Texas. Leaves mostly smaller, 3–9 cm long, and relatively broader, 3–6 cm broad.
Carpinus caroliniana subsp. virginiana. Appalachian Mountains and west to Minnesota and south to Arkansas. Leaves mostly larger, 8–12 cm long, and relatively narrower, 3.5–6 cm broad.
It is a shade-loving tree, which prefers moderate soil fertility and moisture. Common along the borders of streams and swamps, loves a deep moist soil. It has a shallow, wide-spreading root system. The wood is heavy and hard, and is used for tool handles, longbows, walking sticks, walking canes and golf clubs. The leaves are eaten by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera, for example the Io moth (Automeris io).
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Watersides (fresh).
Range New England, Texas, Florida, Great Lakes, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast.
Comments Blue beech works best as an understory tree in low, shady places, though it shows remarkable adaptability to drier, sunnier sites. It will tolerate periodic flooding. Leaves are occasionally attacked by black mold. It is a slow-grower. The European C. betulus is the more widely plant species but has less desirable fall foliage and its trunk is obscured by lower branching.
Exposure Preference Shade.
Native Distribution C. Maine to c. Florida, w. to e. Minnesota, e. Iowa , Arkansas & e. Texas; also Mexico
Site Preference Low, rich woods; stream banks
Soil Preference Moist, rich, deep soils. pH 6-7.5.
Wildlife Value Winged nuts are favored by ruffed grouse, finches, wild turkeys and several other species of birds. The plant provides cover for a variety of wildlife.

TDK EB750 Headphones
" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum. The cord is also tangle free and feels very nice...." --thug behram

By Michael Aneiro
Last July, this blog spoke with Jeffery Elswick, director of fixed income at Frost Investment Advisors in San Antonio and manager of the Frost Total Return Bond Fund (FIJEX). Elswick was plying his trade mainly in mortgages, particularly the commercial mortgage sector, on his way to producing a 10.34% fund return in 2012. The fund is still primarily invested in mortgages, with about 20% in commercial mortgages, but that market has changed a lot in the interim.
"What's really happened now is that a lot of the market has rallied to a spot where you really have to be much more sensitive to specific securities," he says, noting that commercial real estate across the country is slowly healing.
The fund pared its corporate bond holdings to about 25% of its portfolio from closer to 30% last year. It's especially cutting back on the banking sector, "just really again because they were cheap and now financials have rallied so much that we're taking some profits." Similarly, the fund was close to its highest-ever allocation to junk bonds, at about 12% of holdings, but has reduced that to about 10% as that market has rallied.
The fund has joined many others in jumping into the leveraged loan market lately, partly as a hedge against rising interest rates, upping its loan allocation to 5% from 2% last summer but saying that probably won't grow much more due to the market's inherent liquidity issues. The fund has been buying collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, a popular structured investment vehicle for loans.

Not that I care about this film or anything, but I find it absolutely stunning that they pulled it so close to its release. I mean, the tie-in toy line is already starting to roll out and now there's nothing for it to be tied to! Really? 3-D? No one cares if it is in 3-D. That isn't going to make more people see it. The people who were going to see this are going to see it 3-D or otherwise.
Yep... Hollywood continues to be stupid due to greed.

Akai MPC60
The MPC60 is the music production studio that has single-handedly taken over the Rap and R&B music genres as the main instrument of HipHop production. Designed by Roger Linn (Linn Drum), the MPC60 is a one-box-does-it-all sequencer-sampler workstation.
The built-in sequencer is very complete and professional. There are 99 tracks per sequence, 99 patterns, and 99 sequences that can be created, edited and stored in the MPC60 with ease. Most artists create their patterns in real-time adding drum parts to a beat-loop spontaneously creating a groove that captures the vibe. These patterns are varied and chained into a sequence. Full MIDI, SMPTE and various other forms of external control prepare the MPC60 for any studio situation.
The Sampler section is lo-fi but highly respectable. Its 12-bit sampling at 40KHz is pretty good. Sample editing, looping and transforming is simple to do. And finally, there's even a built-in drum machine for extra groove! Finally, the 18 voices of polyphony should be plenty of room for anyone who wants to create HipHop on the machine of professional artists worldwide including Apollo 440, BT, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jimmy Edgar, DJ Shadow, Jermaine Dupri, and A Guy Called Gerald.
In 1991 the MPC60 mkII was unleashed. It wasn't much different, the casing and a head-phone jack were new and either machine is still very useful for today's aspiring musicians.

Comments about Thermastor Santa Fe Advance 2 Basement & Whole House Dehumidifier (4034180):
Works great at dehumidifying my large crawl space. Light enough to drag to the set-up location. Easy to elevate and level. But: It would help to have a remote control to avoid the need to enter the crawl space to make adjustments. It would be nice to have several different drain connectors to give the PVC option without needing to visit the hardware store. Would like a way to attach a flex hose to one of the dry air outlets to route air to the far end of the crawl space.

Comments about Thermastor Santa Fe Advance 2 Basement & Whole House Dehumidifier (4034180):
This machine was light enough for this old man to drag on a piece of cardboard to the middle of the crawlspace. It wasn't hard to set up and level. It began sucking water vapor out of the air immediately and lowered the humidity from 89% to under 70% within a couple days. I would have preferred more options for drainage than just the plastic nozzle and the rubber hose. I managed to get it fastened to a pvc pipe, but it is definitely Rube Goldberg. Also, it would be nice to be able to attach a 4" flex hose to one of the two air outlets so it could discharge some of the dry air to the far end of the crawlspace. I, for one, would pay a little extra for a remote control so I wouldn't have to crawl into that dismal place to make occasional adjustments.
Performance Data


text: Good post and it was great seeing you last week at Backwater. I have run both in the last year. I think both seem to have some attributes that are more attractive an combination of the two would be a perfect world for me. Nash has run 7 HRC finished and 18 Master tests in the last 2 years so we havent run a tremendous number of tests ...therfore, these are merely my observations from the tests we have participated in and purely my opinions. I like the orginazation at AKC tests as they seem to be able to accomplish more in a given time period and seem to get down to business( i.e running 60 dogs and finishing 2 series in a day). I like the smaller flights in HRC. I like the titling system in AKC as we had to pass 7 finished tests to get Nash's HRCH because we didnt run seasoned. I like the one day event in HRC but feel that 3 series seperates dogs vs test more. I like being able to speak to the dog at the line in HRC. I do not like the Grand influence on blinds "the triangle" that is being used by some judges as their prospecitve at the line is not identical to the handlers and makes the standard weak. To this point I feel the difficulty level has been elevated at the Master Lever over Finished. People at HRC seem more approachable across the board. More Hunters in HRC. Less pro trainers in the HRC events I have ran to this point.
