Neftali Soto or Brad Boxberger?
Neftali Soto or Brad Boxberger?
I will take Boxberger in this one. Upside plays a key role here as I still see Boxberger's upside as a #1 starter, while Soto's bat has plenty of potential defensively he just won't provide the value.
I'll go with Soto. He showed advanced hitting ability in the lower minor league levels at a very young age. Defense is an issue and he didn't do well at High A, but he was a top five prospect for the Reds last year. I think 9 is about right for him now.
Boxberger is a high draft choice and, while he has upside, there's no pro ball track record except some underwhelming AFL numbers. I'm glad Box projects well, but I think Soto's 2008 performance in the minor leagues at a very young age gives him an edge.

I voted Maloney, but will go Soto here. Recent draft choices tend to get too much helium, I think.

I guess I'll go Soto. I also think Maloney should have been in the runoff
I'll pass on voting on this one in protest of my man Maloney being left out of the mix.

Because the top 4 went 29-26-23..............5.Sure, but then why not bring in the 4th place guy too who may be in also? Gotta stop somewhere and we decided on 3 votes before the polls started.

9-Year-Old Gives Birth in Mexico
(NEWSER) – A 9-year-old girl gave birth last month in Jalisco, Mexico, ABC News reports. The girl, called Dafne, and her baby are both healthy and have returned home, a hospital director says.
The infant daughter weighed 5.7 pounds and was 20 inches long, AFP reports. Dafne had a C-section because "her body was not ready to give birth," the director says. Dafne herself has 10 siblings. "Her parents work all day and were not watching after her, and therefore didn't realize what was about to happen," says a state prosecutor's rep.

The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."

"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."

Green Bay Athletics announced on July 2, 2012 that Steve Teclaw will take over as head coach of the men's and women's Nordic skiing teams after four seasons as an assistant with the school.
"My excitement about being named the next head coach of the Phoenix Nordic ski program stems mainly from remembering our past success and my vision for the future," Teclaw said. "I have seen this program go through a lot, and I know that the team and its associated culture is as tough as nails. We know that in order to make this team a conference contender we have to focus on the simple stuff, including hard work, smart training and structure."
Teclaw replaced Ken Statz, a former Phoenix skier (2001-06) who served as head coach for one season in 2011-12.
Teclaw joined the Phoenix staff in January of 2009 and has since gained experience in all aspects of the program, including leading practices, preparing skis for competition, recruiting and performing other administrative duties.
In 2010 Teclaw helped guide a pair of Phoenix skiers at the NCAA Skiing Championships in Steamboat Springs, Colo., where men's senior Santi Ocariz turned in a top-10 finish and earned Second Team All-American honors and women's junior Carolyn Freeman picked up a 17th-place finish in the 15K freestyle. Teclaw also coached Freeman to an NCAA berth the following year in Stowe, Vt., where she placed 15th in the 5K freestyle - the second-highest finish by a Phoenix female.
A 2011 graduate of UW-Green Bay, Teclaw earned a bachelor's degree in environmental policy and planning and currently has a job in corporate quality in Green Bay. As a student, Teclaw was awarded the Chancellor's Medallion for his outstanding leadership and community involvement, and was also presented the Chancellor's Certificate of Appreciation for Military Service for his role in the United States Coast Guard.
Teclaw became Green Bay's fourth head coach in as many seasons following the untimely death of former Phoenix coach Butch Reimer in 2010. Reimer led the Phoenix from 1988-98, and again from 2006-10. Teclaw served as an assistant under Reimer for two seasons, and then worked with interim head coach Nate Balk in 2010-11 and Statz in 2011-12.

"You were born on the East Coast," he tells one guest.
"A little higher."
"You're a Connecticut person."
He moves on to another guest.
"Who is Kimberly?" he asks the surprised fan.
"My daughter."
"She's 16 or 17?"
"Is there a Justin here?" McCambridge says as a volunteer stands up. "Are you married, sir?
"No, I'm not."
"Who is Tammy?"
"She's my girlfriend."
"Who is James?"
"I work with him."
He asks another audience member to announce the name of the first person she had a crush on. With her husband sitting beside her, she seems embarrassed but names a man she has neither seen nor thought about in 30 years: "Jackie."
McCambridge takes an envelope from inside his jacket, opens it and takes out a piece of paper inscribed: "Jackie."
Although each of the mentalist's shows is similar, each is different because of the audience involvement. He opens the show with one volunteer holding a telephone book, another randomly choosing a page, another choosing a column on the page and then McCambridge running his finger down the column until the first volunteer tells him to stop. He reveals the number is the same one he wrote down at the start of the show.
In another bit, he has a volunteer randomly rotate the hands of a watch and to stop when he tells them to. Blindfolded, he rotates his own watch - and both watches stop at the same hour and minute.
He tells fans he has no psychic powers but uses a variety of skills to create that illusion - including the power of persuasion, memory techniques, reading body language and knowledge of the law of averages.
McCambridge, 45, started out as a magician but switched to mentalism 20 years ago.
"Magic is the art of misdirection," McCambridge says. "Mentalism is the art of riding the fine line between intuition and illusion."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I used the bell method where you hang bells by the door and ring it everytime you got out to potty. He figured out in 3 days that ringing the bells means go outside to potty. But what he had trouble figuring out was outside is ONLY place i want him to go potty. So he would only ring the bells if he was CLOSE to them and had to go potty. But if he was in the kitchen, or the living or somewhere else in the house away from the bells, he'd make his own spot.
So my solution was: Have him on a leash and before i take him out to potty, walk to the kitchen THEN to the door and have him ring the bells. Then take him to the living room, then walk to the door and have him ring the bells. I did this from all over the house. Before i'd take him out.. i'd just walk him to certain places in the house, turn around and walk to the bells. Eventually i think this helped him realize that from no matter where he is in the house, its much better to go to the bells, get a treat, then go potty, and get another treat. Within 1 weeks he was doing pretty good. And no more accidents at all after 1 1/2 weeks. Goodluck! and make sure you dont get frustrated or upset. I used to stress about it.. and then suddenly, he just started getting it. And once he realized it was fun to go potty outside, he was a potty guru.. and for awhile he'd ring the bells just to go outside and dribble a couple drops out to get a treat. So i phased out treating for ringing the bells and started only treating when he pee'd for at least 3 seconds, then 5 seconds, then 10 seconds.. and now he only rings the bells when he REALLY has to go.
I also forgot to mention that my female is in heat. Not sure if that could have anything to do with it at this age? Obviously I know the pup isn't anywhere near sexual maturity but I wasn't sure if maybe it could cause him to want to go in a spot where he smells it?

|I went through (and still sometimes battle) a tough puppy to house break. With her, the cure seemed to be very limited free time in the house for a solid week, just to break the habit. Then, outside for potty every 2 hours, with a gradual increase in time in between breaks. We introduced free house time slowly, and still no longer than maybe 2 hours at a time. At 21 weeks old, I think she is finally getting the picture.
He is starting to get the concept of "no" with other things I think. I will stick to the plan and just keep working at it

And he does get rewarded greatly for potty outside and I also do say "go potty" when I take him out.
So basically I'm doing everything all the books say, just hoping he just needs more time.
The only other thing maybe I should try is keeping him on a leash until he becomes more reliable?

And he is only 11 weeks. Some will say theirs was trained at that age and others have had theirs take longer. It might just be a patience game.. and consistency with what you are doing. My female mastiff took much longer to potty train. It just took longer for her to grasp the concept.
|my guy was similar, really quickly he learned to ask to go out but then a few weeks later was peeing all over the place. i would grab him mid pee (I had read that picking them up surprises them and they stop peeing) and take him outside. i think he got tired of being picked up mid pee and he stopped going inside and went back to asking to go out. the last 2 or so weeks have been really good
Yes sorry I left that part out. He is absolutely never out of my sight. I do say no when I catch him in the act but he just looks at me like "what?"
And he does get rewarded greatly for potty outside and I also do say "go potty" when I take him out.
So basically I'm doing everything all the books say, just hoping he just needs more time.
The only other thing maybe I should try is keeping him on a leash until he becomes more reliable?

Patience.. yes. but also, what do you do when you catch him in the act?? Also, what do you do to reward the potty behavior outside?
There should not be a single time that your pup is out of your sight until he is 100% potty trained. That way, you catch as soon as it happens and can immediately say "No" and take him out side and say "go potty" as soon as he goes outside there should be a huge, you won the lottery party for him. Treating and everything!
Potty training trouble?
My puppy is eleven weeks old. I'm not feeling like his potty training has made any progress. If anything I feel like he's regressed today.
I've been takin him out at least every hour and whenever he goes to the door. He started going to the door about 1 week in which I think is pretty good. However, there are times that he is peeing in the house what seems like every 15 minutes with very little warning. I've tried just cleaning it up quietly without making any fuss.
He always goes when I take him to the designated spot in the yard, but he also seems to have created his own designated spot in the kitchen. So I found that I was able to stop his accidents by taking him out whenever he goes to that area before he pees.
Since I started that, now he seems to be peeing anywhere in the house today.
I've also decided that I'm going to start just yelling no if I catch him in the act. He really seems to just think it's perfectly acceptable to pee in the house.
My other dog seemed to potty train faster but she was a couple weeks older.
Is there anything else I can try? Or do I just need to be patient and give him more time to understand since it's only been two weeks?

im never a fan of giving up data (ie filtering before recording), there is no reason you can't capture everything and filter it later if you know how to building a filter (me and lurker were talking about a differentiation filter). the problem then i picking your corner frequency on your filter (basically slope). idk, i'll try things out next week when i have some time.
For those of us that aren't quite as mathematically proficient as you guys are, what kind of filtering are you looking to do exactly?
I know that excel is awesome and all, but it seems to me that processing large amounts of data is always easier with a database and some code.

For Beck And Palin, Two Fox News Stars Fade
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
The news flashes came just five hours apart last Wednesday, April 6. Both bulletins brought bad news for Fox News stars, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. And both headlines marked the end of a right-wing era of sorts in American media. Indeed, the simultaneous rise and fall of Beck and Palin stand as remarkable tales of Fox News failures, as well as for the radical, Obama-hating media movement they've helped champion on cable TV.
At 12:18 p.m. on Wednesday, the head-turning press release announcing Glenn Beck's pending departure from Fox News was published on Beck's website, The Blaze. Confirming speculation that Beck and Fox News were parting ways in the wake of Beck's falling ratings and the massive advertising boycott that was bleeding his program, the breakup was shocking nonetheless. The move would have been unthinkable one year earlier, when Beck was being toasted in the press as a cultural phenomena and battling Bill O'Reilly for the crown of Most Watched Show In Cable News.
That was bombshell Number One on Wednesday. Five hours later at 5:00 p.m., a smaller Fox News explosion went off when the Wall Street Journal and NBC News published the results of their latest polling effort. For Fox News' Palin, the findings were disastrous: Her disapproval rating fell to an all-time high of 53 percent. (Just 25 percent view her positively.)
And when Republican voters were asked which candidate they preferred to be the party's nominee in 2012, Palin, who often used to sit atop of that list, barely registered a double-digit response, which slotted her into fifth place among a weak field of contenders. (If Palin were the nominee, she'd likely turn Georgia and South Carolina blue, warned one pollster.)
It's true that Palin may have no interest in running for president. And yes, her personal polling numbers have been in the ditch for quite a while (although the Beltway press often ignored that fact.) But what must have stung Palin about the NBC/WSJ numbers were they came at a time when her overall cultural standing seemed to have evaporated.
For instance, as last week's budget and spending showdown loomed and the press obsessed over a possible shutdown of the federal government, Palin took to her Facebook page and posted a blistering attack on Obama.
Not that long ago an online missive like that from Palin would have generated headlines and been treated as a news event in and of itself. (Think "death panels.") Instead, last week it was mostly crickets as Palin's Facebook screed barely drew a passing glance from the Beltway press or the larger political arena.
The collective shoulder shrug, not to mention the brutal NBC/WSJ polling results, prompted Salon's Steve Kornacki to ask, "What Ever Happened to Sarah Palin?"
[A]t some point recently, she stopped simply being a polarizing lightning rod -- one with as many fanatical followers as diehard critics -- and transformed into a figure who even Republican-leaning voters have a hard time taking seriously.
The same questions were being asked last week about Beck's cable TV demise. How did Time's Person Of the Year contender and right-wing King Of All Media fall so far so fast? Was it because he claimed President Obama hated white people? He urged Catholics to leave the church during the holy season of Lent last year? Or was it because Beck illogically portrayed the pro-democracy movement that swept Egypt this winter as the unleashing of demonic forces that would soon threaten peace around the world? (That was too much even for Bill Kristol.)
Just over a year ago, Beck and Palin seemed poised to use their unique Fox News platforms to reshape the American political culture.
But it never happened.
Following the pep rally he threw himself last summer in Washington, D.C, Beck seemed to want to position him as a leader who transcended party politics. But Beck quickly slipped back into his dark, conspiratorial ways, advertising partisan demagoguery that was often laced with attacks that were unspeakably irresponsible.
As for Palin, she was going to change the political press by essentially ignoring it. Often refusing to engage with mainstream reporters, Palin for long stretches restricted her media interaction to right-wing talk radio hosts, bloggers and Fox News hosts. Palin was going around the Establishment media to prove just how irrelevant it had become. (And how powerful the GOP Noise Machine had become).
Incredibly, lots of Beltway scribes bought into, and promoted, the ruse. Time's Mark Halperin last year marveled at how Palin "can dominate the news cycle with a single tweet and generate three days of coverage with a single speech." He also toasted her "energy, charisma and popularity" and announced Palin was "operating on a different plane, hovering higher than a mere celebrity, more buoyant than an average politician." (Wow.)
In reality, the Fox News contributor Palin locked herself in the far-right media bubble where she became most famous for whining about her press coverage. "It was clear then that Palin is drunk on her own anger, self-regard and sense of victimization," wrote Steve Chapman of The Chicago Tribune last week.
We also can't escape the fact that both Fox News' Beck and Palin fell in love with their own hype; with their own press clippings and became convinced they were transcendent figures in American media.
April 6, both Beck and Palin received painful reminders that they are not.

meh, sorry if it's really bad xD it's my first guide evarrr =]
[70] 1 Assaulter
[71] 4 Assaulter OR 3 Assaulter 1 Meso Explosion
[72] All into Assaulter
[80] MAXed Assaulter
[81] --I have asked a few C.Bandit friends of mine...and there was controversy-- Some went directly into Thieves, others got 3 Chakra.
3 Thieves OR 3 Chakra
[82] 6 Thieves OR 3 Meso Guard
[83] 9 Thieves OR 6 Meso Guard
[84] If you went with Meso Guard, then at level 93 you would max thieves, if you went straight to Thieves, then at level 90 you would have maxed thieves.
[93] MAXed Thieves***-read footnote-
--------If at level 90 you MAXed Thieves, then you would get 3 Chakra at level 91, 3 Meso Guard at level 92, and 6 Meso Guard at level 93.
[94] 9 Meso Guard
[95] 12 Meso Guard
[96] 15 Meso Guard
[97] 18 Meso Guard
[98] 20 Meso Guard [1 extra point]
[99] Starting here max Meso Explosion, you will have remaining points...and I have no idea what you want to put them in...into anything...but chakra and shield mastery are just worthless.
***Because Thieves has this weird skill change thing, you should [recommended] save points at level 6 Thieves, to level 12 Thieves /1 level of saving points\ then at 12 to 18, 18 to 24, and 24 to 30 [max].
-----Sorry if this guide was a little messy, it's late and i'm tired lol.
A lot of people are anxious to get a new skill so they jump onto Thieves right after, but Meso Guard can be really helpful.
...oh and any suggestions for future guides?

Pending polygraph
Winni Derby winner says he caught salmon off Welch's Island
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | May 19. 2013 7:38PM
Winni Derby "Victor Apparent" Dakota Wright, at right, stands with Winni Derby chair Diane LaBrie at the derby's award ceremony Sunday. (COURTESY)
Derby officials weren't sure Sunday when they will administer the lie detector test. Wright was given a prize hat and the cash prize voucher, as were the other winners and their prizes.
Derby officials decided to enforce Rule 15 of their bylaws, which requires a polygraph test for the winner "and his or her witness," this year. The rule only applies to the derby's top prize, which goes to the angler who catches the largest salmon from Winnipesaukee during the three-day tournament. The derby also awards smaller prizes for the largest trout caught.
Wright, who said he will use the $12,500 prize money to buy himself a new truck, said he will have no problem taking the test.
Wright's fish was a 22.5-inch, 3.7-pound salmon. Boscawen's Paul Vachon won a cash prize for coming in third in the salmon category.
"This is crazy," he said. "This wasn't even my best derby."
Anglers from Vermont and Maine took four of the first five prizes in the trout category, but Norm Lemire of Jaffrey took fourth place with a 4.88-pound, 25.125-inch trout.

The Canisius volleyball team finished the 2013 season with a four-set loss to first-place Fairfield University on Sunday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center. The Stags won 14-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-23 as Canisius finishes the season with an 11-18 overall record and 9-9 in record in MAAC play.
Sophomore Lauren Siebert led all players with 13 kills and a .600 attack percentage, to go along with four blocks. Freshman Katlyn Tyler had 11 kills and three service aces. Senior Emily Elek had eight kills while senior Sydney Palka had 25 assists and eight digs.
"We came out flying with a lot of energy and that just wasn't sustainable for the entire match," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We played hard with nothing on the line and I'm proud of that. We also saw two great performances from our underclassmen, and we're excited to see that in the coming year.
"This group of seniors had a great-four year career and hopefully their impact will continued to be felt with this program."
Canisius dominated the opening set, recording kills on 10 of their first 20 swings. The Griffs used a five-point run early in the set, including back-to-back aces from Tyler, to go up 12-5. The Griffs continued to roll in the set, leading by as many as 13 points en route to taking the early lead in the match. Fairfield bounced back and pulled away in the second set with a 10-3 run to go up 22-13 and eventually even the match at one set apiece.
After Fairfield (17-12, 14-4 MAAC) won the third set to go up 2-1 in the match, the teams played a tightly contested fourth set. Canisius took an early 7-5 lead on a block from senior Jessica Warner and Hernandez. The Stags won the next four points to go up 9-7, but Canisius regained the lead at 14-13 on a kill from Tyler. Fairfield against used a four-point spurt to go up 17-14, but three straight Fairfield attack errors evened the score at 17-17. Fairfield went up 22-19 before Siebert recorded kills on three of the next four points to make it a one-point game at 23-22. Fairfield earned two match points after a Canisius error. A solo block from Hernandez fought off the first match point but a Canisius attack error clinched the match for Fairfield.
Caitlin Stapleton led Fairfield with 12 kills. Hayley Moyer had 11 kills, a .476 attack percentage and six block assists. Rachel Romansky posted 40 assists and 13 digs.
Notes: Canisius posted a league record of .500 or better for the seventh time in the last eight seasons… Junior Emily Litwin had 17 digs, posting double-digit digs in 28 matches, including the final 25 matches of the season… Sophomore Rachel Kline had 11 digs, recording 10 or more digs in the final three matches of the year and in 11 matches overall in 2013… The 13 kills for Siebert were her most since posting 19 kills against Bucknell on Sept. 14… Hernandez had at least one block in all 29 matches of her senior season. She finished the year with 102 block assists, the fourth-highest total in program history.

I had the perfect morning, low fog on the river with 200' visibility, trees looming fuzzy and disappearing beyond the closest, glassed off slough with enough current to keep the dekes moving a little, great blind in the tall grass just downstream of the set up, Tula my Lab scanning the skies and shivering in anticipation, sometimes looking at me for understanding, salmon rolling....absolutely silent. No wings overhead, no splashdowns before shooting time...nothing. A perfect morning except not a bird came by. At least the bear trail I walked in on was also unoccupied! I stayed until the fog lifted.
Was I bummed? Not a bit! Early season in my area is often a bust, but I go every chance I get anyway, and set up with the same anticipation that my Lab has. Sometimes everything clicks and I slog out in late morning with a nice limit of fat birds. Nobody else hunts around here, no shots in the distance to make me envious, no lights flashing in the dark ahead of me as I break a sweat hunking my load out to the blind. Someday it won't be this way and I know it, so I savor every morning. love duck hunting!
So, how was your opener?

Submitted to: United States Animal Health Association Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/15/2010
Publication Date: 7/21/2010
Citation: Perez De Leon, A.A., Knowles Jr, D.P. 2010. Current Agricultural Research Issues on One-Host ticks and Bovine Babesiosis. United States Animal Health Association Proceedings. p. 703-705. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the apicomplexan protozoans Babesia bovis and B. bigemina, which can have devastating economic effects on the livestock industry. Estimates indicate the domestic livestock industry realizes annual savings of at least 3 billion dollars at today's currency rate since the U.S. was declared free of the disease. Clinical bovine babesiosis is currently controlled in the U.S by control of its tick vectors, Boophilus (Rhipicephalus) annulatus and B. (R.) microplus, commonly known as cattle fever ticks (CFT). These ticks were eradicated from the continental U.S. in 1943 through the successful efforts of the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP), which is an effective and ongoing partnership between the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Texas Animal Health Commission, and cattle producers. CFT have enormous economic impact on livestock production in tropical and subtropical parts of the world like Mexico and Brazil where they are endemic. The annual cost of tick infestation to the cattle industry in Brazil by the cattle tick R. (B.) microplus is estimated to be greater than two billion U.S. dollars. Post-eradication outbreaks of clinical bovine babesiosis in the U.S. due to re-emerging populations of CFT is a continual issue for the livestock industry for a number of reasons. First, there has been a considerable increase in the number of CFT infestations in South Texas during the last six years; 19 infested premises were reported in fiscal year 2003 whereas in fiscal year 2009 that number was 146. Second, increasing populations of white-tailed deer and other wild ungulates in South Texas appear to assist in maintaining CFT populations in pastures vacated of cattle. Third, there is no serologic surveillance for persistent infection in cattle and the susceptibility of the U.S. cattle herd to clinical babesiosis remains unknown. Finally and importantly, the organophosphate compound coumaphos is the only acaricide approved for official use by the CFTEP in dipping vats since 1970 and acaricide resistance is prevalent in Mexico. The USDA-ARS convened a public workshop in April 2009 where state and federal regulators, federal and academic investigators, and producers met with the goal of identifying gaps in the scientific knowledge associated with babesial disease systems. Research priorities were identified in these major areas: 1) epidemiology and surveillance; 2) ecology and biology of tick vectors and wildlife; 3) diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, 4) integrated approaches for sustainable tick eradication, and 5) anti-tick/parasite vaccines which control tick infestation and/or block pathogen transmission. One of the collaborative research projects at the USDA-ARS ADRU in Pullman, WA focuses on the development of persistent anti-tick/anti-transmission vaccines requiring one immunization. It is hypothesized that the use of attenuated and transfected Babesia parasites expressing tick antigens would elicit anti-tick immunity. Preliminary findings by USDA-ARS KBUSLIRL scientists indicate that the application of satellite image analysis using normalized difference vegetation index times series data in South Texas can identify habitat preferences of white-tailed deer and therefore predict the distribution of CFT in the landscape. Additional field data is being gathered to enhance the predictability of CFT infestations associated with white-tailed deer. Practical applications of satellite imaging in support of the CFTEP include the ability to assess the risk of restocking with livestock pastures that include preferred white-tailed deer, which had been vacated of cattle for 9 months or longer. Additionally, satellite images could also be used to make evidence-based decisions for the deployment in South Texas of technologies to control CFT infesting wh

Why not something like this for Varroa?
I'm glad that they don't have a problem with mites in Finland. Maybe I should sell my bees to a Finnish beekeeper then I wouldn't have to worry about mites or foulbrood or swarms or.........
I do not have any varroa problem in my hives.afar, Scotland
But varroa is not so awfull. I have had it 17 years. It is amost like friend. Chalk brood is worse.


text: Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a set of Euro crystal clear signal lense with a black background headlights off Ebay for $175. My sole purpose was to either use these newly purchased headlights for my project or save these if I screw up the stock ones. Well after receiving them and getting ideas what I wanted to do I decided to use the new ones. My plan is to remove the lense off of the backing and start with painting the black background red to match my truck. Then I will install two 4" Color changing Halo rings around each light and a matching color changing strip across the middle. Also I have the switchback signal bulbs this is why I went with the clear signal lense. The color changing smd lights will all work by remote control. (cheap ebay stuff). I removed the rubber grommets and wiring from the back of the headlight and pre-heated my oven to 230 degrees. I placed the light on a cookie sheet and stuck it in the oven for 10 minutes. I used a infrared thermometer heat gun to be sure my oven was accurate. I checked the plastic just before I pulled it out and it was at 185 degrees. From what I understand the lights will melt at 285. All that is needed to get the butyle rubber seal around the headlight flexible seems to be about 185. It took two times of placing it in the oven to remove the lense from the seal. by the time I began using a flathead screwdriver to pry open and pop the tabs it began to cool. After the second time back in oven for 8 minutes the glue seems to allow the lense to pull off much easier. The second light I only had to put in the oven once since I was that much better at it the second time.:lol: More to come when I can post up pictures:grrrrrr:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - With goals from four different players, the top-ranked North Carolina field hockey team beat No. 11 Stanford 4-1 Saturday afternoon at Francis E. Henry Stadium to extend its season by another game and advance to the second round of NCAA Tournament play.
The Tar Heels (21-1) will return to the Henry Stadium turf on Sunday at 2 p.m. to take on No. 8 Old Dominion, a 6-1 winner over No. 9 Michigan in Saturday's second game at Henry Stadium. The winner of the second-round matchup advances to field hockey's final four next weekend in Norfolk, Va.
"We're very excited to live to play another day and earn another game at Francis E. Henry Stadium," UNC coach Karen Shelton said. "I'm happy for our seniors - at this point, you want to earn another game and lengthen your career. And I'm proud of the team - I felt at times today we were very undisciplined, but we found away to win. At this point in the season, it's 'survive and advance.' Hopefully we can learn a couple of things as we move forward, at least for one more day."
Sophomore Charlotte Craddock opened the Tar Heel scoring in the ninth minute of play, sending a hard shot into the cage from the top of the circle to put UNC up for good. The goal was her team-high 21st of the season.
Carolina went up 2-0 in the 28th minute on a goal by freshman Emma Bozek, who sent a ball across the cage and past Stanford keeper Dulcie Davies for her sixth goal of the fall.
The Tar Heels made the lead 3-0 early in the second half on a goal by senior Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany, who got her 10th score of the year on a pass from senior Kelsey Kolojejchick, who leads the nation in assists.
Stanford scored its only goal on a penalty corner in the 60th minute. On the Cardinal's fourth and final corner of the game, sophomore Kelsey Harbin scored her fifth goal of the season on a ball from senior Becky Dru.
UNC added one more goal in the closing minutes, when Bozek sent a cross from the right side and junior Sinead Loughran deflected it in from the left.
For the game, UNC led 16-10 in shots and 6-4 in corners. Davies made four saves for Stanford, and sophomore goalkeeper Sassi Ammer had four for Carolina.

The G8 meeting resulted in a message to Iran that it must cease developing a nuclear program that might result in development of atomic weapons. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking for the group sent a message to Iran that unless there was significant improvement in discussions concerning atomic bomb development, "we will have to take decisions." The G8 formal announcement said: "We sincerely hope that Iran will seize the opportunity to give diplomacy a chance to find a negotiated solution to the nuclear issue."
There is a solution to the nuclear issue. Impose an oil embargo on Iran unless it comes to the bargaining table to enter into serious discussions. Ahmadinejad's government could not survive a few months unless it had oil money to buy off important segments of Iranian society. Iran is not in the driver's seat, it depends on money from selling oil. There is no need for further discussions, just cease purchasing Iranian oil.

The Golden Griffins return to regional competition after not competing in the 2010 Northeast Regional Championships at Hammonassett State Park in Madison, Conn. At last season's regional championships, reigning champion Syracuse swept both races.
At the 2009 Northeast Regional Championships in Boston, Mass., the women's team finished 28th overall, while the men's team placed 32nd. In the race, senior Christine Mulvihill finished 133rd with former Griff Maura Frauenhofer leading the way to finish 86th. The men were led by Vasilis Kariolis, who placed 173rd followed by junior Alex Simon's 202nd-place finish.
The Northeast Regional Championships is one of nine total regional championships. Each race will determine the teams and individuals, who will compete in the NCAA Cross Country National Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 21.
The top-two scoring teams from the men's and women's races at each regional championship will receive an automatic berth in the national championships. The top-25 individual performers in each race will receive All-Region honors.
Both admission and parking for the race are free. Parking will be available in the University at Buffalo Stadium Parking Lot, located off of the Coventry Road Entrance. Shuttle busses will be provided between the lot and the race course. The awards ceremony will follow the conclusion of the women's race at approximately 2 p.m. near the Amherst Audubon Golf Course Clubhouse.

I really need some advice!
I really want to take a TEFL course so i can travel abroad and have a great experience teaching. But I really don't know which course to take. I am not interested in an online course, i think the best way to learn is with fellow students, but I just don't know whether to take a weekend course or a 4 week course, obviously money is an issue as there is a difference in the price. But there are also so many companies to go through...
Is there anyone from experience who can tell me the pros and cons? I feel like I am stuck in a rut and am spending too much time procrastinating?! And is it a better experience to take the 4 week course abroad?

A 21-year-old Woodridge man has been charged with murder after a hit-and-run in the Logan suburb on Saturday night.
Jordan Matehaere Tukaki, 17, of Marsden died after a car ploughed into a group of people standing on a footpath outside a Station Road address about 10.30pm.
The collision occurred during a massive street brawl involving up to 100 people.
The driver of the car allegedly then fled the scene. It was found later at another Woodridge address.
Mr Tukaki suffered life-threatening injuries and later died in the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
The charged man will face Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday morning.
He has also been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Meanwhile, Mr Tukaki's death prompted police to warn about the dangers of promoting parties on social media.
Police say between 100 to 150 people were at the party at Station Road when the brawl erupted and spilled on to the street.
Acting Superintendent Darren Harland says the party was gatecrashed after it was advertised on Facebook.
''(There is) the potential for uninvited people to arrive at your party and if you advertise on social media, this can be one of the consequences,'' Supt Harland told reporters in Logan on Sunday.
Local resident Asmatullah Nasrullahi said he heard people swearing and yelling on the street before seeing a car speed away.
''I was a bit scared because I was at home by myself,'' he said.
''I could just tell by the noise outside that something was going to happen.''
Mr Nasrullahi said he was not surprised the incident occurred in his street.
''This is a low income area and the kids who live here don't have any chance for a good life,'' he said.
Police on Sunday were doorknocking residents in the street as they continued their investigations.
Detective Inspector Christopher Jorry rejected witness accounts that the brawl was either gang or racially motivated.
''There's nothing to suggest that from our investigations at all,'' he said.
Mr Tukaki's family has released a statement describing Jordan as a "vibrant" young man who'll be greatly missed by all.
"Jordan had such a bright future and outgoing personality, loved music, was an awesome rapper, who would stop to help anyone in need," the statement read.
"[He] was looking forward to celebrating his 18th Birthday on the 22nd of this month with family and friends, [and] is now having to celebrate his birthday with his Dad (Trevor Masoe, who passed suddenly 3 years ago)."

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Georges Duboeuf, they've never done me wrong except for the occasional blah Nouveau.
Sure do. Michael David in Lodi. Don't just have 7 Deadly Zins and say "Meh", Have some Earthquake Zin or Sixth Sense Syrah or one of their high-end sins. Of course, their wines are New-World to the extreme, but some of us like that.
"It's not like beer"!? JUST a moment you woot! Just because we are winos is no reason to be dis'in the fine craft of brewing! Hell, most of us will never be able to bring a wine to fruition, but every one of us could be a fine, craft, homebrewer.
After all, you need something besides wine to make it through the dog days of summer.
And let's not forget a well made cocktail! Like a gin martini shaken to waltz time!

Oh, and yes, Papapietro Perry can do no wrong. I would even break the SIWBM for some PPP 777 Clones Pinot. Hint hint hint! :-)

Agreed, for the price his line up is actually pretty good. I pickup up his wines at a big discount when I find them.
For me, My go to is Wellington. I part of his club and when the wines are offered here I usually load up. His wines are always great for the price.

This. I figure any winery that picks a cool-looking artistic label has to be doing something I like...
A local vineyard we used to live near called Mac's Creek. Never tasted a wine there that I didn't like! If you are lucky to live in a state that allows you to, you know, actually BUY alcohol, you should check them out. I live in Utah now and can't buy jack - figuratively and literally!

Hmmm, Nice that some of you agree., and you like Wellington. I've got some Wellingtons in the cellar that I've got to pull out and try. Oh! And what about Chappellet? Always yummy. I bought a case and a half of their Mountain Cuvee for $20/bottle...and the Signature Cab is totally "Napa".
Speaking of Napa Cabs: I like Turnbull and Brookdale a lot.
Oh, I could go on..........
I have a number that have been so consistently good across vintages that I trust them well enough to buy multiple bottles unreviewed and untasted: Stolpman and Tor (CA), Vincent Girardin's negociant Burgundies, Tariquet Rose and "Cote Tariquet" Chardonnay-Sauvignon Blanc (Cotes de Gascogne), Borsao Tres Picos (Campo de Borja Garnacha). The Tariquet and Tres Picos can be had for under $13 a bottle. The others I mentioned get into higher-priced territory, especially the Tor Cabernets and the smaller-production Girardin bottlings.
There are some others I didn't list above because they can be much harder to find - e.g., Vincent Ricard Trois Chenes and Point d'Interrogation Sauvignon Blanc (Touraine).

Interesting. I still want an AK though.
Nice Find......I learned something today!
Good video. If he had shot the Watermellon with a 154 grain soft point in 7.62x39 it still wouldn't have been as impressive as the 30-30, but it would have been more then the FMJ.
Should I ever use an AK47 or a SKS for deer hunting I would use the 154 grain softpoint or some domestic manufactured hunting ammo of about 150 Gr.
I like my leveractions for hunting, but I also like my AK and SKS for plinking and small game. The advantage of having different guns is having options of firepower. My Model 92 in 25-20 is fun to shoot, light to carry, and powerfull enough for most small game, so my Military rifles are used mostly for plinking.
That old man was annoying... seriously. Nothing like a Fudd hatin' on my AKs... That said, he had a good point that the media wants to outlaw a rifle/cartridge that isn't the most powerful thing in the world...

Video was rediculous. Shooting at a watermelon? how does that have anything to do with live animals/people? The old dude wasn't "hating on anyone's AK" he was merely trying (poorly) to prove than an AK round does not have the power that a standard rifle round has. And he was wrong about why the watermelons blew up. It was all velocity. A slug is not going to expand sufficiently in a watermelon at those ranges to make any difference.
Next time maybe he should get a more realistic target before he goes running his mouth on video. I understand what he was trying to do - but doing it poorly doesn't help anyone.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Notice also that video is like 20 years old...
also true
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
While his demonstration was ill conceived as it was, and I understand all that, he was a driving force in keeping guns in the hands of Americans for more than 30 years. A lot more than any of us has done.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
There's a lot of people here who can't seem to understand a. the absurdity of the video and b. levity in a post...
Everyone just calm down... There's an old man in a sport coat talking about how ugly an AK is and about his first deer ever taken... all in a very misguided effort to do a good thing... He fits the exact definition of a Fudd... regardless of who he is.
And not that it's any of your business, but I am very politically active in a wide range of issues, including 2A rights... while I may not (yet at any rate) have the influence of the great Neal Knox (whom I've never heard of), I am still doing my part.

What does being under 40 have to do with anything? It was a poorly done video regardless of my age! Watermelons (unless I missed the latest update from the FBI) are not used in any kind of serious ballistics testing, the production value was poor and the writing terrible! What does that have to do with my age?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
The will to win is worthless if you do not have the will to prepare. -Thane Yost
I think the video did exactly what it was meant to do. It realistically demonstrated the effective power of various calibers.
No a watermellon isn't used in ballistics testing. But, it does show the engergy and destructive potential of the various calibers. He wasn't trying to show ballistics, he was trying to have a visual presentation that disproves the article in the newspaper that was saying how powerful a 7.62x39 round was.
Substitute the guns he was using for explosive charges. If he had stuck a black cat firecracker in the watermellon and set it off, then put an old M-80 in one all the way up to a stick of dynamite it would have easily shown the power of each charge.
Most people don't understand ballistics. I would say that most shooters don't understand ballistics, energy, expansion etc. Sometimes a good visual presentation goes a long way to explain things that many can't get their heads around.
Oh, and I have never heard of the guy before either, but what he demonstrated still holds water.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

The video was created to graphically demonstrate a single point, that, relatively, the "power" of the 7.62 x 39mm cartidge is highly exaggerated. The watermelons were used because they react dramatically. It wasn't intended to be a formal ballistics evaluation, nor a comparison of weapons platforms. Furthermore, the target audience was individuals who aren't knowledgeable about weapons, to whom an exploding watermelon might have more of an impact. Consider it to be the most basic of primers, which might cause an individual to think twice before spouting off about the "devastating" AK round.
KevinDooley, your age has nothing to do with whether you're able to evaluate the relative merit of the video. You just seem to have missed the point, which may indicate something else, entirely. And to call the late Neal Knox a "fudd" just shows a lack of knowledge and context. I'd recommend a bit more research on your part before making such misinformed declarations.
Here's a couple of links, the first of which explains the context of the video, the second of which tells a bit more about Neal Knox, the individual.

Arsène Wenger says there is only one thing he wants for Christmas this year - to close the gap on Manchester City.
Arsenal are enjoying an impressive winning streak in the Premier League of late, claiming four straight victories to push themselves back towards the top four.
Wenger believes there is still plenty of work for his squad to do, however, with the No 1 spot his ultimate target.
"We are too far away from the top at the moment," he admitted. "My complete focus is to reduce that gap before Christmas and hopefully we can do that.
"Then in the second half of the season we play all of these teams at home, so if we can manage to do that we still have a chance to come back. But at the moment, we are too far.
"I don't know how realistic it is, but what I know is that we have to give absolutely everything to make it realistic."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Stop Me Before I Veto Myself!
posted at 9:53 pm on May 12, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Ahem. To be filed in the "I warned you" file under C for chutzpah:
The Obama administration threatened to veto parts of its own health care bill after budget scorekeepers found that the package would add at least $115 billion more to government health care spending.
What next? If we don't give him whatever he demands, will he threaten to tell everyone that he was really born in Tierra del Fuego? But wait, there's more; President Barack H. Obama is actually using his own fabricated figures to extort something out of his own Democratic Congress:
President Obama's budget office charged Congress with finding $115 billion in spending cuts or tax increases to offset the price tag hike. The figure approached the amount of money the Congressional Budget Office previously estimated the law would save, and pushed the total 10-year cost of the package past $1 trillion. It comes after a separate Medicare office report found the bill would raise spending by about 1 percent over the next decade.
But the Office of Management and Budget stood by the administration's original claims that the law would reduce the deficit and tasked Congress with making sure that happens — or else.
Is anybody else reminded of a bizarre scene from the Mel Brooks movie Blazing Saddles? Cleavon Little, the black sheriff sent to clean up a racist town, is about to be run out of town. So he points his pistol at his own head and says, in a deep, fake voice, "Hold it! Next man makes a move, the [pejorative deleted] gets it!"
"He's not bluffing!" shouts one of the panicky townspeople.
Aside from the surreality of Obama threatening to immolate his own odious health-care takeover, the real scandal here is the president holding his own bill hostage until he gets a big, fat tax increase. (And the casual admission that the extra amount the bill will cost is just about the amount Obama and the Dancing Democrats said it would save. Who'd a thunk it!)
But as they say on the Ginzu Knife commercial, that's not all…
Costs could go higher, because the legislation authorizes several programs without setting specific funding levels.
And that's not even counting the infamous "doc fix," the 21% "pay cut" for doctors Medicare reimbursements that was enacted as part of ObamaCare. The vaunted projections over hundreds of decades that show huge savings all relied upon slashing more than a fifth from physician reimbursements… which everybody knows is never going to happen.
In fact, the House already passed a bill to nullify the pay cuts, and the Senate will surely follow suit. The doc fix adds from $208 billion (Yahoo's prediction) to $245 billion (CBS) to the actual cost of ObamaCare, sans accounting tricks.
Add the two together, and the cost is already up by (averaging) more than $340 billion — and deep, deep into the red. And the only solution acceptable to the Democrats will naturally be… yet more tax increases! Probably a Euro-style "value added tax," which taxes everything at every level of manufacturing, distribution, and sale… the greatest economy-buster and job-killer ever invented by the socialist mind.
We're shocked, shocked to discover there's brazen corruption at the International House of Obama. But how about this for our response: If Obama threatens to veto his own bill — let him. Can we at least get all 41 Republicans in the Senate to agree not to rescue Obama from the veto pen he's holding against his own head?
If we can't successfully filibuster a massive tax increase — the only purpose of which is to appease the Obamacle — then we may as well just pack it in and return to the primordial ooze, whence we came.
