Angus Directory
Heading inland, almost on the northern boundary of Angus, lies the ancient Cathedral City of Brechin (population: 7,900).The Royal Burgh of Brechin has a long and venerable history, and is famous for its tall eleventh century round tower which is one of only two such towers surviving in Scotland , the others are in Ireland . Although the burgh does not have a city charter, it has always held the title thanks to having been the seat of the Diocese of the Roman Catholic church in the area, in pre-Reformation times.
The tower originally stood alone, but is now part of Brechin Cathedral. The Cathedral itself is an interesting and important landmark, with beautiful stained glass, and much of its medieval masonry and craftsmanship intact.
Brechin's religious role is still in evidence today with the Cathedral serving worshippers as the parish church.

Weeklong project will add 5 Habitat for Humanity homes to Lents neighborhood
You know that feeling you get watching 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' and seeing how excited the family is when that big new house is revealed on national television?
That's how Sam Portesi expects to feel some time about now. And he won't have to shout, 'Move that bus!'
Portesi is part of a Habitat for Humanity 'blitz build' project constructing five new homes in the Lents neighborhood for Portland-area low-income families. He is with Buena Vista Custom Homes of Lake Oswego, one of five builders taking part in the Portland project.
Work began early Friday morning on the five houses on Southeast Ogden Street near 80th Avenue and was expected to be completed by now. Portesi's house was scheduled to be completed by Monday as about 100 people from Buena Vista Custom Homes scrambled throughout the weekend to frame the house, install plumbing and electrical systems, construct a roof and sheetrock the interior.
It's a fast-moving project that Portesi thinks is as close to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition experience as you can get without being on TV.
'There's the excitement of doing it like this,' he said. 'Everyone nowadays watches that 'Extreme Makeover' show and sees what they do there. The great thing is, when you have the finished product and you hand over the keys to the new owner, you're giving them their dream.'
The Lents neighborhood project is one of dozens of blitz builds in cities across the country, where 263 Habitat for Humanity homes will be constructed in about a week. Nearly 1,000 people who live in substandard housing will soon have new homes thanks to the project, said Maria Eby, marketing and special events manager for the Portland Habitat for Humanity chapter.
During the project, city building inspectors will be on hand to check all the things necessary to keep work moving at a rapid clip.
Is there competition among the five builders to see who can finish first? Sort of, said Portesi.
'They say there isn't, but there is. It's friendly competition.'
Besides Buena Vista Custom Homes, the Portland project is being built by Intex Custom Homes of Beaverton, LHL Homes of Portland, Schumacher Custom Homes of Portland and Fish Construction NW of Portland.
The houses are on five lots at 8036 to 8054 S.E. Ogden St. The lots were purchased by Portland Habitat for Humanity with help from the Portland Development Commission. It's the second Habitat project in the Lents neighborhood, Eby said.
All the labor, the material and the construction time is being donated by the five builders and 170 companies across the region, Eby said. That's a big deal, especially because the housing construction market has started to shrivel in the face of high fuel prices and mortgage foreclosures, she said.
'The economy hasn't been so great this year, and for these builders to find the donations and do the work themselves while their own industry is struggling, that's a big deal to us,' Eby said.
Portesi said the Buena Vista crew, which ranged from two dozen Friday to about 100 over the weekend, was all donated labor that could add up to tens of thousands of dollars, he said.
Each of the houses will be sold to families earning anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 a year. The families buy the houses at cost with a zero-percent mortgage. As part of the deal, they must put in 500 hours of community service to Habitat projects to qualify for the new homes.
The Home Builders Blitz was started in 2002 by Tom Gipson, a Raleigh, N.C., builder. Gipson rallied other contractors for an accelerated build, which was so successful that Habitat for Humanity International decided to promote it as a nationwide event.
The Lents neighborhood event culminates at 3 p.m. Friday, June 6, when the five families will receive keys to their new homes at a dedication ceremony, a sanctioned event of the Portland Rose Festival.
Two years ago, contractors working with Portland Habitat for Humanity constructed four houses in a similar blitz build in the New Columbia neighborhood of North Portland, Eby said. Buena Vista, Fish Construction NW and LHL Homes also participated in that project and were happy to join in this year, she said.
'The quality of homes is going to be amazing,' Eby said.

WTF? I just read the 49ers have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds next year?
Good news is that if the 49ers get a 3rd for Goldson, we should get a 3rd for Kruger considering Krugers contract averaged about 100k less per year.
I don't think we've ever quite gotten a 3rd round comp pick...that would be awesome if we can get one next year.

India's "flash boys" fret over proposed automated trading curbs
* India considers tighter rules on automated trading
* High-frequency traders worry it will dent their business
* HFT firms holding back investment in new strategies
* HFT sector argues new rules would harm market liquidity
By Abhirup Roy and Euan Rocha
MUMBAI, Sept 7 (Reuters) - India's "flash boys", or high-frequency traders, are pushing back against the domestic markets regulator and in some cases putting investments in new strategies on hold, saying proposed tighter rules could render their ultra-fast systems redundant.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) last month proposed regulating hyper-fast stock trading, amid concerns that investors lacking access to such advanced and expensive systems were being disadvantaged.
But trading firms contend such rules could hurt liquidity and destabilise Indian markets.
"If you keep changing the rules of the game every now and then, people are going to worry about how much money they want to sink in," said Rajesh Baheti, managing director at Crosseas Capital, adding that investments in new high frequency trading (HFT) strategies were on hold. Continued...

termite damage in top plates, HELP
So we are in the remodel from hell. I just thought we were coming around the corner, when my drywaller calls me downstairs and shows me jacked up top plates from termites. It's on the ground floor of a two story home on the exterier load bareing wall. We just had the new nail fin windows installed and we decided to replace the drywall since we had resized windows. In some areas it's really torn up. Others not as bad, we are talking about 40 running feet of double and triple 2x4 top plate. I am assuming that it all must be replaced or at some point the house will start sagging? Makes me wish I never opened a wall.:(
I found about 6 feet of damaged top plate in the kitchen (same wall) but it stopped at the splice so I figured it did not continue for another 20 feet, it appears I was wrong.
Any suggestions?
well, that's out of my league. So what would have happened if I nevremodled and did not discover this, the house would fall?
had the same problem
We ripped out 2 exterior wall because they were bad, alot worst than yours. We built a stud wall about 2' inside to support the 2nd floor. we used 2 floor jacks to lift slightly the double uprite studs which had a plate on top. yours looks ok in the picture, you should use an ice pick to see if the wood is solid enough to support what is above. We had to replace the patio door so this worked for us, it was a small family room. We did take down the siding outside and completly rebuilt the 2 exterior walls.
More then likely these are subterranian termites, so they've been eating from the sill plate up. You need to determine where they got in, because that's where the damage will be the greatest. Generally the access points are the doors to the house. I'd start there.

New Dewalt driver "clack" noise
On a recent project I had trouble with the batteries going away (again) on my 15 year old Makita 9.6v driver (the old blue one with the long battery in the handle) so instead of buying another battery or 2 I just splurged on a new Dewalt, the "20v" Max Lithium one with the 3 speed transmission and hammer drill function. Tons more power and much higher RPM than my old driver.
But the thing makes a loud clack in the middle speed going on and off the trigger. Can feel it too. It is fine in first and third gears, just loud in 2nd and seems like it has more play in that speed. Is this common on these types of drivers? I understand they have a brake but if that was the issue why just in 2nd speed? Not sure if I need to take it back or not. I want to make sure it's good because I intend to keep this one for 15 years, too.
Ray, my 2YO DeWalt impact driver makes the same noise when I release the trigger. Has since I bought it. Never had an issue with it(other than the noise).
Thanks for the feedback, Mickey. Mine came in a 2 tool kit and the impact driver is smooth and quiet. The drill/driver is the noisy beast... but only in the middle speed setting.
Well, I drove by Home Depot and they actually had one on display with a semi-charged battery. It does the same thing so I guess it must be the nature of the beast. Mine was louder and had more impact on start and stop but that's probably because I have the battery fully charged. I don't like the sound/feeling but I guess I'll probably keep it.
I've got an 18v DeWALT drill that makes that loud "clack." Has since it was new, and I've used the heck out of it, so it (hopefully) is nothing more than an annoying characteristic of an otherwise good product.
It may be normal for Dewalts but I decided to take it back. Hearing a loud metallic clack and feeling a strong impact bang with every trigger on/off is just unacceptable, to me anyway, in a tool of this supposed quality. It would annoy me every time I used it. But the impact tool was really sweet. Perfect grip, great power. Smooth and quiet. I drove a couple of those special composite deck board screws with it and it was awesome.
Not sure what I'll get... maybe back to Makita or perhaps Bosch.
Might want to check out the Milwaukee M12 or M18 lines. Home Depot had a deal on Friday - M18 hammerdrill, impact driver, 2 batteries and charger for $199. Almost bought it but went with the M12 kit with the hammerdril, impact, oscilating tool, 2 batts, and charger for $199.
I'm very happy with the M12 kit and imagine the m18 would be great as well.
What...DeWalt doesn't have a phone anymore?:)
Definitely will go with an 18v of some sort. I'll check out the Milwaukees for sure when I have time to shop again. Maybe have a peek today to see if anyone is having a cyber Monday deal but otherwise will have to wait.
Yeah, Bud I thought about calling Dewalt but they were probably closed on Sunday. In any case they might have said it was normal and I still would not be happy... or they would have offered to replace it with all the logistics that entails. With business and holiday travel coming it was just easier just to drive the 2 miles to Lowes and be done with it. I have some other Dewalt tools that I am hapy with but life is too short and there are too many good choices out there. Unfortunately the high number of choices makes it impractical for the box stores to have working and charged example of all of them on display to try. :-/
most of the newer dewalts i've used are somewhat similar to what you're describing, but it's never really bothered me.
the dewalt impacts are heaven, i'm so glad tool company's are coming out with 2 tool combo's now (and that my company actually buys them). makes screwing anything 10 times easier (think 50,000sq ft building worth of roof blocking).
milwalkees drills are similar to the dewalts, but something just feels off with them for me. sounds strange, but almost like there is too much torque or something, i'm not sure.
best drill (before we started getting impacts) i ever used was my company got a few hilti cordlesses on 2 year leases. i'm sure they were twice the cost of any dewalt, but they were the smoothest thing i've ever used, and really made me realize how different cordlesses can be.
I am off on a business trip and visited the local Lowes. It is in a much smaller area than where I live so the store was neater and more organized. They had many of the cordless drivers on display and the Dewalts even had charged batteries. The 2 examples I tried (hammer and non hammer) both did it with the hammer version making the loudest bang in 2nd gear just like the one I had.... although mine was louder/harder. So probably normal. It would annoy me for sure.
Totally agree about the impact tool. Wow... No jobs of your magnitude! But I wish I had that tool the last deck I built. My old Makita 9.6v driver couldn't drive the composite deck screws... and my big AC hammer drill was overkill. Had to be careful not to strip. Impact tool would have made short work of it.
I wish I could try a couple other impact tools on some real tasks... if I get another set and the impact tool isn't as good as the Dewalt I wil be disappointed in that now. :-/
impact drivers make that clacking noise because of the anvil inside. the anvil is part of what creates the extra torque in order to drive tough screws.. if its not making the noise id be worried.
regarding the drill driver if it has a hammer drill mode it may be set in that mode.. its the anvil kicking in under load .. check the setting the drill is in.. if its in regular drive or drill mode and making that noise chances are you have the torque set to low and the clutch is slipping so to not burn out the drill
Clack with this happens in regular mode as well as hammer (just as loud) and also does it with no load. I think it is the brake mechanism engaging when you release the trigger. The odd thing is that is is by far worse in the middle speed. Anyway, I'm sure it is a good tool but far too noisy/coarse for me. I ended going with a Makita LXT 211 set with compact hammer drill and impact driver. Feels more like a precision machine and has much smoother brake action.
makita in general makes better tools period.. ive used many makita tools and dewalt... the only time ive had complaints about using makita gear is when teh tool was abused and nearing teh end of its life... dewalt on the other hand.. simply annoys the hell outta me.. their gear is underpowerd and poorly designed

"Very nice associates, took care of a major problem the afternoon before my wedding. The original place ordered Periwinkle (BLUE) when my girls were wearing Perodot (GREEN) Then they told me the only thing they could do is overnight my vests & ties they would arrive at the store Saturday my wedding day at 11 or 12 noon, MY Wedding ceremony started at 11. Top hat was very helpful, and had vest & Ties that somewhat matched in all my sizes I needed!!!! They may be a little more expensive but if I ever need anything like this again I would be going their!! Top hat gets 6 stars from me they are wonderful!!"

I've come across a lot over the years, but I guess somehow I've missed ever seeing someone say the words "Morality is objective." Thus, I'm sure there are others out there that feel the same way, and I wanted to get this out of my system. Not much needs to be said because it's really pretty simple.
Morality is not math or science or physics. It's not empirical fact. It's up to interpretation. It's a human construct. Take away humans, and morals cease to exist. People have their own morals that they abide by. What you consider wrong does not necessarily line up with what someone else considers wrong. And of course there's the fact that people have different ideas as to what the worst crimes and such are. I understand the concept of feeling as though certain things should be universal, but that's not how it works, and to state that morals are, in fact, the same across the board is naïve and simply incorrect.
2 + 2 = 4. Not because I say so, but because it is. It's not my answer. It's the answer.
I obviously have my own ideas as to what's right and wrong, though most of that is more logic based than emotion, but I still ultimately know that it's not definitive. Of course, more and more I find myself realizing just how rare it is for me to truly find something to be "wrong", but still. I know what it's like to scoff at other people's beliefs, because we like to think we're right above all others. But technically, when it comes to morality, we can't be right. We can't be wrong, either.
I'll dive right in to the most egregious sounding example. You cannot tell me why murder is intrinsically wrong. You can tell me why you think it is, or that society views it as wrong and thus there are laws against it, but you can't tell me why it's factually wrong. Because it's not. Hell, even within the law, there are literally different degrees of murder along with other situations such as self-defense. There's a reason some people would be okay with a real life Dexter and some would be against it no matter what. There's a reason some people find rape and pedophilia viler than murder. It's because it's all ultimately subjective.
Beliefs change over time. Slavery wasn't always considered wrong. A girl being married and having a kid at twelve wasn't always considered wrong. Right now there are people who consider being gay to be wrong. Etc. None of those beliefs are actually right or wrong. It's just what we think of them. You could have every single person on the planet believing one particular moral is correct (not that that would ever happen), but that wouldn't actually make it true.
A belief is a belief because it's not a fact. Morals are beliefs. Morality is not objective.

Epson is backing its inkjet printers to, not only match, but beat laser printers in terms of cost, speed and reliability.
The majority thinking is that for serious business use, laser printers are more cost effective and more reliable than inkjet printers but Epson has decided to back its inkjet printers to be able to not only match laser printers but outdo them. The WorkForce Pro WP 4500 range includes six models, ranging from the basic single function WP4015DN to the high-end WP4535DNF, which offers printing, scanning, faxing and copying. According to the Japanese giant, the WorkForce Pro WP 4500 series will be just as reliable while costing up to 50 percent less per page than laser printers and will print pages just as fast. The series comes with the four ink cartridge system and can print up to 2,400 pages in black and 2,000 pages in colour using XL cartridges, according to Jordi Castillo, senior manager of business products at Epson.
Castillo added: "We recommend that users print 2,000 pages per month, but the WorkForce Pro range can handle up to 20,000 pages if necessary. Using these models, printing also costs 50 per cent less per page than traditional laser printers." This improved productivity, never before seen on an inkjet printer, has been made possible because of Epson's Micro Piezo inkjet nozzle technology. Micro Piezo print heads don't wear out as quickly as the print heads from rival manufacturers, according to Epson. Andrew Semple, head of Epson Europe's business imaging division said: "We are offering laser-like yields but at half the running costs of a laser and on top of that you can factor in ecological advantages as well – 80 percent less power than a laser printer. The time is now for business inkjets."
The WorkForce Pro series will be available in September and pricing for the range has yet to be announced. We'll have to wait and see if the range can live up to Epson's claims when we get a review copy in for testing.

6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.

In Taiwan, if a restaurant sells beer, it sells Taiwan Beer and Heineken. Third-most popular are assorted Japanese labels (Asahi, Sapporo). After that, I see a lot more Corona than American labels.
I suppose this is a reflection of local tastes, people must like light beers here.
Heineken is just okay. But I'd take it any day over Taiwan Beer, which reminds me of all the watery brews I pumped out of a steel drum at 'SC. Taiwan Beer's slogan should be: "Easy to drink ... But why would you want to?"Taiwan Beer just came out with a new brew, Mine Malt Beer, which is slightly better than the namesake label "Taiwan PEE-jiu" (emphasis on PEE is my own).
While initially overwhelming, the three-story long Heineken tunnel doesn't have me rushing out for a six-pack.

Friday night forum
Reporter: Maxine McKew
MAXINE McKEW: Federal Parliament was back this week, although, for the most part, without the Prime Minister. Peter Costello was in the chair, but it was non-budgetary matters that tended to dominate: arguments about whether Australia should develop a nuclear power industry, about the state of many Aboriginal communities and about the legality of the Commonwealth's role in selling its share of the Snowy. But over and above all of this, is the gravity of yet another military commitment. Well to range over the issues of the week, I've been joined here in the studio by Liberal Parliamentary Secretary Malcolm Turnbull - he has special responsibility for water - and by Labor's Peter Garrett. His areas of responsibility cover the arts and reconciliation. Welcome to both of you. Now, I think we will start tonight on this question of, obviously, Australian troops arriving in East Timor. Now, the challenges are substantial, aren't they? Malcolm Turnbull, how do you see them?

I am hoping for a great atmosphere as the warriors "engage within the cage" (that's the show motto, I have trademarked it so no-one should think about stealing it!!) with louds shouts from the crowd of "KNEES!!!" (whenever the fighters are clinched), "RIP IT OFF!!!" (submissions), and general stuff like "SMASH IS ED IN!!!", "MAKE IM BLEED!!!!" or "JUST BLEED!" etc...
you know for the early ufc's the promoters considered adding an electric fence and an alligator-filled moat around the Octagon........ just a thought
Can one man actually leave the cage as promised? You should fit a trap door so that after the victor has killed the loser, the victor gets to leave the cage and then they open the trap door and let the loser's body fall down an abyss, akin to that of 300.
We have a custom made venue for this event, which will see the crowd allowed almost right next to the cage. The crowd area then slopes steeply upward (like a football stadium) so everyone gets a great view. It will really add a claustrophobic atmosphere to the fights, just like old schoolyard type fights. I think this is something which the common man will be able to connect with.
Can I get a press pass for this event?

anyone have an old thread on attaching jango boot armor? i have the snaps for the back,but do you use velcro at he front? and does the armor have to move with the foot motion(floating?)if that makes any sense:facepalm

anyone have an old thread on attaching jango boot armor? i have the snaps for the back,but do you use velcro at he front? and does the armor have to move with the foot motion(floating?)if that makes any sense:facepalm
You've got some interesting questions there. I just used the snaps in the back of the boots to attach the shoe armor. I was considering adding velcro to the front of the boot just in case the armor slid around, but I never experienced any real problems with that happening.
But now that you mention it, I don't know if adding velcro to hold it in place would be a good idea. I'd think the armor would slide around the shoe when walking occurs. If the armor was strong enough, I'd imagine it would make walking a little difficult. If it wasn't strong enough, it would probably break.
Mine is just snapped. It flexes with the boot because it's mounted with black elastic. Be sure to cover that snap with black leather.
..after trying to add some snaps on my reinone's i hit a problem. the leather on the heel is to thick and the lower part of the snap is to short :o(
now i'm thinking to fix the upper part with rivets..... ?
I think it depends on the shoes/boots you are using & the foot armor you have. I had a pair of Bed Stu Lunars before my Reinones' & they were a lace up shoe with the corect sole. I added a pair of short gaiters to make them look like the correct boot & I used snaps to attach my armro to the gaiters. The gaiters had a hook that would hook to the front lace & keep the foot armor into the corect position without flipping up.
I took my reinone boots to my local leather guy a couple years ago with some pre-sewn elastic cording. He took small black leather pieces and attached them around the elastic with heavy duty snaps. Then he used his heavy duty snap gun or whatever the heck they're called to attach the other half to the boot heels. Voila.
The other end of the elastic cords have velcro that go underneath the boot armor.
..yes, i was running on some (very) old shoemakers here on my city. but they don't have any "heavy duty snaps". maybe i have to go a run in the country.
thx skalen, i already hadn't believe in...

I was given a set of sheet pans as a gift, 2 half sheet and 2 quarter sheet pans.
Unfortunately, I cannot find cooling racks that fit these sizes...
Any suggestions or links would be apprecaited.
Take a look at: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=half+sheet+cooling+racks&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=CmvoWa5lQTLXBDIL-jQOR2r2zDQAAAKoEBU_QoekZ&fp=62a1024401399253
Generally speaking you won't find them identified that way in most stores (restaurant supply places excepted). But if you check where they keep the baking pans etc. you'll find racks that almost fit.
F'rinstance, as with one of the links Pete provided for 1/4 pan racks, the measurements are 8 x 10, which is slightly smaller than the pan. A fairly common rack designed for cookie sheets fits almost perfectly in a half-sheet, leaving about an inch space on each side long side, and a hilf inch on the ends.
I did find, in Ace, one that was a perfect fit in a 1/4 sheet. Unfortunately, the bars only go in one direction, and some small stuff won't work with it.
Actually, restaurant supply can be a great way to go for something like this, if you have somebody like that nearby. If you're going to go for baking as well as cooling (and I assume you are) try to go for real stainless. A lot of the racks that are designed for cooling are chromed zinc, and not as good for oven use.

With heavy student traffic coming and going from our Admissions and Financial Aid departments, the Alumni department wanted to get in on the fun of meeting Multnomah's Amazing Students… Thus the launch of our "Round Tuit" program!
The Tuit Experience Explained
Wooden nickels with the word "TUIT" on them have started popping up all over campus as a way to encourage students to stop by the Alumni Office and meet our alumni staff!
- As students receive these wooden nickels - "round tuits" - in their mailboxes and from our staff, they are encouraged to stop by the Alumni Department when they get "around to it" (get it?).
- Upon their visit they are given an opportunity to redeem their "tuit" for a treat and our alumni department is given the privilege of meeting different members of the F.A.M. (Future Alumni of Multnomah) and hearing how God is using Multnomah to shape their lives.
Be on the lookout, should an opportunity present itself for you to get a "round tuit" today! (See pictures from some of our "Top Tuits" on Multnomah University's facebook page)

There's just a week left to wait until this year's E3 expo kicks off in Los Angeles. As usual, there are enough games expected to show than most people could play in a year. But which ones should you hold out for? We've feasted on rumour and conjecture to find the games, hardware updates and new software apps that will change the face of gaming this year and the next.
More on E3 2012
Grand Theft Auto V
After the slightly grim, grey Grand Theft Auto IV, the fifth GTA game is set to brighten things up again. Set in Los Santos - based on Los Angeles - you can expect plenty of sun and scenery. And we can't wait for a bright of that brightness to return to the series. Rockstar released a trailer for the game way back in November 2011, but since then Rockstar has been fairly quiet on the project - much more is expected to be revealed at E3. The game will reportedly launch in Q1 2013.
Borderlands 2
A less serious, more action-orientated alternative to Fallout 3, Borderlands was one of the key gaming delights of 2010. Its sequel, Borderlands 2, is set five years after the first game - soon enough to let some of the colourful characters of the original make a return. Expect plenty of the same over-the-top style, a reprise of the action-RPG gameplay and even more guns. Plenty of gameplay videos of the game in action have already been revealed but we're hungry for more. It'll land in September 2012.
Halo 4
Could this be the last "canon" Halo game to come to the Xbox 360? Halo 4 has been teased so long that a search for teasers will net you the video pumped out for last year's E3 convention, which you can watch below. Halo 4 reprises Master Chief's story following Halo 3, launched all the way back in 2007. Sure, there have been other Halo-series games since - Halo Wars, Reach and ODST - but this is the first to snap back into the rails of the earlier games. The game was originally announced at last year's E3, and is pegged for a release in November 2012.
While Gran Turismo 5 was slowly pootling its way towards a release after 2005's Gran Turismo 4, Forza was given plenty of time to snatch many racing fans from its clutches. And it was remarkably successful in doing so. However, Forza: Horizon is something different. It's shaping up to be a more open-world, potentially more casual-friendly game that doesn't follow rigidly to the tire tracks of Forza 4. Could this be the game that Test Drive Unlimited 2 should have been? It's headed to the high street in Q4 2012.
Yet Another Star Wars Game
The next Star Wars game is to be revealed the day before E4 on US TV channel Spike TV. What is it? At present we don't know, but rumours suggest it may revolve around the Boba Fett bounty hunter character. The last time the hugely popular side character got to take the lead in a game was back in 2002 with Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, released for Gamecube and PlayStation 2. No release date is available yet, but we'll know a whole lot more by the time E3 starts.
The Star Wars game we're really waiting for...
X:Com Enemy Unknown
Gamers who were tapping on keyboards and clicking on mouse buttons back in the early 90s can't fail to have warm memories of X:Com Enemy Unknown. A turn-based strategy game where you had to protect the world from alien invasion, it became an iconic title of the decade. And now they're remaking it. It seems to keep a similar play style, but there's reason to be wary - several games of the X:Com series have been released in the past 15 years, and none were anywhere near as good as Enemy Unknown and its underwater sequel, Terror from the Deep.
Crysis 3
The first Crysis game became the graphical benchmark for first-person shooters at its release in 2007. As is almost always the case these days with PC-based game series, though, it eventually moved onto consoles with its sequel Crysis 2. What's Crysis 3 all about? It's set in a city abandoned after it was overtaken by an alien race known as the Ceph (short for Cephalopods). Now overgrown, it should provide an environment somewhere between the outdoorsy jungle of the original Crysis and the urban sprawl of Crysis 2. It's set for release in 2013.

As Dragon J stated different people have different ways of doing things according to their skill and comfort.
The proper way to paint a vehicle is section by section to minimize the chance of mismatching sides or parts. What I mean by section is the three parts of a vehicle: front (fenders, hood, etc) middle (doors, roof) rear (quarters, trunk rear). Then of course its sprayed from top to bottom.
spray the top of each section first (IE hood, roof, trunk) so you don't lean into the fresh paint if you do the sides first. Painting a vehicle section by section will help a great deal with any paint, but expecially candies. Do one coat on each section then by the time your done with the rear your front will have probably had enough flash time to add the second coat. If you paint a vehicle by sections you will have a smaller chance of visable color difference because its distributed over a larger area. Not only will the the color be easier to match,
the drying time of the paint will help blend the color more smoothly. If you spray a car side by side, by the time you finish one side and start the other the previous side coat will have had time to flash and their will be a noticable color difference do to the time allowed to dry before the other half was painted. If you spray a whole side then the other you have a greater chance of developing a soft line down the center of the vehicle. Thats the proper way for beginers or any painter, but after years of painting each painter developes his/her own style.
Dragon J is again correct. your spray gun should have a adequit spray pattern to spray large areas, but the gun should
be closer than 6-8" from the surface being sprayed. Also keep the gun straight,
bend your wrist, keep your wrist straight, if you run into a contour keep the gun parralell to the surface to prevent paint buildup (runs <img src="graemlins/drunk.gif" border="0" alt="[drunk]" /> )
I of course have my own style just as dragon J. I still spray by section, but I have very long legs so I can cover a section in half the time of a normal painter. I also do the spider legged spray dance. I can cover an average sized car in 8-15 before another painter because of my long legs and years of gun-time. Once you do it a few times you learn what to do and what not to do and where you can develope your own way of doing things.
Candy is not for the cheap or faint of heart of unexsperienced. Its not forgiving and if you mess up you have to take it all off and re-do it. Have fun, take your time andd if you need more help feel free to ask.

The Heavy Duty Skalper MDX
Allentown, PA – October 23, 2010: ASGCO announces the Skalper MDX, their newest entry into the heavy duty mining industry. The ASGCO Skalper MDX pre-cleaner is designed for high speed and high tonnage conveyor systems in above and underground mining.
The Skalper MDX heavy-duty urethane blades are made to withstand the most abusive mining conditions. Mounted against the head pulley they provide continuous, efficient cleaning. The adjustable 6" blade segments are easily replaced by removing just 2 bolts for quick change and maintenance.
The most unique feature on the Skalper MDX is the torque cam action lever. The impact force creates torque that rotates the blade allowing it to self-adjust to the angle of the belt, ideal for removing high volumes of carry-back with minimal blade wear. This also permits the mounting tube to rotate and absorb the shock which prevents the mounting tube from bending.
The ASGCO Air Shoc tensioner automatically adjusts the blades to the belt while maintaining optimal blade tension throughout the life of the blade. No need for re-adjustment. Air bag support and rubber bushings mounted in the hub absorb the shock from mechanical fasteners allowing the blade to glide over the splice without damage.
All of these features combine to create a mine tough design that will stand up to the most demanding applications. Guaranteed mine tough!

Pathologically Confirmed Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a 25-Year-Old Former College Football Player
Ann C. McKee, MD et al. JAMA Neurology, January 2016 DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2015.3998
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with repetitive head impacts and can be diagnosed only by autopsy after death. Authors write an observation letter about CTE pathology in a 25-year-old former college football player who experienced more than 10 concussions while playing football, the first occurring when he was eight years old.

Comments [2]
I wish the USA had never misappropriated the term ''football' for a sport that really should be called ''handball'' or better yet, ''smashball''. If anything, this is the sport that should've been called ''SOCKER'' instead of the other way around. TRUE football, the international, ORIGINAL football, is the beautiful game, and shouldn't be confused with articles stating that such devastating head injuries are associated with it. And no, heading a ''soccer'' ball doesn't do anywhere near the damage that American football (head blows) do.
In the US, women are 60 percent of people with Alzheimer's and men are 40 percent. Alzheimer's researchers grasp for the reasons women might be at the "epicenter of the epidemic" but they seem to be completely ignoring one major factor. Women are the victims of domestic violence much more than are men. Most battery is directed to the chest, neck (strangulation) and head. Many, many women in DV situations report having their head smashed against the wall or floor, or of being strangled (which cuts off blood flow to the brain). And we know from the experience of boxers and football players that head traumas cause dementia. So why isn't domestic violence ever researched as a cause of Alzheimer's?

Three New Cases of Mad Cow Disease in France
Three more cases of Bovine Spongeiform Encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, have been discovered in cattle in France, bringing the year's total to 43, the agriculture ministry said Monday.
Two cows were found with the disease in herds in the departments of Aube, east of Paris, and Aveyron in the south. All other animals in the herds were slaughtered in line with regulations.
The third cow was traced via a nationwide detection program launched in June to determine the extent of the disease in the 21 million-strong national herd.
Under the program, the brains of 48,000 cattle that have died in accidents or in unusual circumstances will have been analyzed by the end of the year. So far eight cases have been discovered via the test -- PARIS (AFP)

Grant zoning change
Dear editor,
I am writing in support of Diamond J Construction gaining the appropriate commercial zoning south of town. There is no reason why a company with roots in Miles City should not be able to expand. It is a legitimate misunderstanding that such property would not need commercial zoning, due to its placement out of city limits.
Mr. Peila went through all of the other known channels for his permitting, so it is unfair to accuse him of building without having the proper paperwork in place. Diamond J Construction is a business that has taken off and currently employs between forty and fifty people; as it expands, it will continue to hire more people, which is nothing but positive for our community.
It seems rather hypocritical that other similar construction companies such as Oftedal Construction and Pyle Construction are arguing against the expansion of a similar company, when they themselves have made a living in this area. Bill Oftedal writes that it's all about money for Mr. Peila, but keep in mind, Mr. Oftedal and others with similar beliefs, that John Peila donates a lot of his hard-earned money right back into our community throughout the year to various charities, fundraisers, projects, etc.
I understand the concerns of people with agricultural roots in the area, but the reality is there has to be a way for other people to make their living too. Miles City is moving south as one can easily note by other commercial properties next door: John Deere, RMC, Bobcat of Miles City, Rolling Rubber, Horizon Storage, etc. There are only a few directions in which businesses can expand, so why limit one man who is trying to do only as others have done?
Also, it will increase the tax base for Miles City, which also brings more money to our community. So, although Mr. Peila may be seeking for his company to expand and bring in more revenue, it benefits all of Miles City in another way. Therefore, the community should reach out and embrace its entrepreneurs rather than push them away. Give John Peila of Diamond J Construction the commercial zoning he is requesting.

Four men set off from Florida's Gulf Coast on a weekend fishing trip. Anchored 70 miles from land, their 21-foot boat flips over in 15-foot seas and 30-mph winds. But these aren't your usual fishermen. Two of the boaters play in the NFL; the other two are former college players. In choppy seas, they manage to don life-vests and try to right the boat. But they fail. Their only choice is to cling to the hull and hope for rescue.
After searching thousands of miles of ocean, the Coast Guard finally arrives 46 hours later. They find only one man -- Nick Schuyler -- sitting on top of the overturned boat. Three others -- including Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper and Detroit Lions free agent Corey Smith -- are missing and presumed dead.
How did one man -- a former college player, not a pro -- survive this ordeal while the other three perished? "A miracle," says the doctor who treated Schuyler. But was it really a miracle. Or was it a wrenching case-study of the laws of survival in extreme situations?
A new 23-page report from the Coast Guard (obtained by the Associated Press) sheds light on what really happened.. The sole survivor - Schuyler - says that a few hours after capsizing, one of the boaters "freaked out," removed his life vest, and let the waves sweep him away. A few hours later, a second boater started throwing punches, took off his vest, and dove into the ocean, never to be seen again. Sometime the following day, the third man - presumably William Beakley - believed he saw land in the distance, removed his life jacket, and tried to swim for help.
A few obvious questions arise from this account: Why would two professional athletes -veterans of extreme physical challenges - give up after a few hours? And why would someone try to swim for help that far out to sea?
For the last two years, I've interviewed some of the world's most effective survivors and thrivers - men and women who were mauled by wild animals, left for dead by violent criminals, slammed by 20-ton trucks, and devoured by flesh-eating bacteria. Along the way, I spoke with survivors who drifted for months on the open seas in life boats and made it through gale force winds and bitter cold after ferries sank.
My goal was to uncover the secrets of the world's most effective survivors. What do they know that we don't? What follows are a few key lessons underscored by the tragedy in the gulf.
1. Mind over Muscle.
First and foremost, survival isn't only about physical strength or stamina. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of survival is mental, according to top experts in the military. Here's what really matters: How psychologically tough are you? How quickly can you bounce back after you've been knocked down? All the muscle mass and competitiveness in the world won't keep you alive if you're incapacitated by fear or overwhelmed with despair.
At the air force survival school in the woods of Washington state, I learned that appearances are deceiving. You can't pick out the best survivors just by looking at their biceps. The strongest and fittest men and women often "crumble like blue cheese" under extreme pressure, one instructor told me. Out-of-shape moms who have experienced the pain of childbirth are sometimes able to withstand the greatest punishment while buff, well-muscled aviators give up quickly.
Especially in the water, muscle isn't really an advantage. In fact, it can work against you. It's heavier than fat and if you're swimming, it takes more energy to stay afloat. In cold water, muscle doesn't help conserve heat, like fat, which acts as insulation. In short, fatter people tend to fend off hypothermia longer.
2. People Decline at Different Rates
All four boaters were all athletes in their 20s in good physical condition. What distinguished Schuyler - the youngest at age 24 - from the others? According to his doctor, Schuyler's thoughts of his mom kept him going. "He didn't want his mother to come to his funeral," the doctor says. But surely, the three other men were thinking of their families and friends too. Didn't they have the same motivations? Why would they give up sooner?
In survival situations, experts say, people decline at differing rates. In an emergency, four similar guys can follow four entirely different survival paths. For starters, while hypothermia affects people differently, it always drains your strength and resolve and eventually induces delusions or what's known as "cold stupid." For instance, people with even mild hypothermia sometimes engage in "paradoxical undressing." As your body's temperature drops, your vessels dilate and warm blood from your body's core rushes to your extremities. This can cause you to feel hot, and you start taking off your clothes. That's why in the wilderness and water - and even urban areas - hypothermia victims are sometimes found in various states of undress.
Biology obviously plays a critical role. So does psychology. Fear can paralyze and quickly wreck even the toughest men and women, while others somehow manage to control it. If you can't shut off the fear, you can quickly become overwhelmed with stress, anxiety and despair. Without question, a feeling of helplessness is one of the greatest dangers in survival situations. Indeed, experts say, hopelessness can kill you faster than the cold.
3. Practice the Right Kind of Optimism
So what should you do if you're stranded in the ocean on an overturned boat (or if face your own crisis like unemployment or foreclosure?) At a psychological level, exercise your optimism. Survival may be 90 percent mental, but don't blindly hope for the best. This kind of foolish expectation will only lead to disappointment and even greater despair.
It's a phenomenon known as the Stockdale Paradox, named after Admiral James Stockdale, the highest ranking American prisoner of war in Vietnam. In the POW camps, optimists were the first to die, Stockdale told author Jim Collins in his bestselling book Good to Great. Optimists were always hoping to be released at Thanksgiving or Christmas, but were crushed when those holidays passed and they were still imprisoned. They couldn't stand the disappointment and gave up fighting, Stockdale said. Soon after, they died. In the toughest situations, experts say, you should exercise "realistic optimism." That means combining a blunt factual appreciation of your predicament with steadfast hope that things will turn out okay.
4. Think the Unthinkable - then Do Something About It
Before you ever get into trouble, spend a moment imagining the worst cases scenario. Then focus on a few low cost/high impact choices that can save your life.
> File (and stick to) a float plan that can help rescuers find your location faster.
> Buy a $79 VHF radio with a one-touch Mayday button connected to your GPS. In an emergency, you just hit the distress button and your location will be broadcast to rescuers.
> Purchase (or rent) an emergency satellite beacon - for as little as $145 - that can guide rescuers, especially if you're more than 20 miles offshore beyond VHF radio contact.
We'll never know exactly what went through the minds of those boaters fighting for their lives. But what makes their loss even more tragic is the likelihood that they didn't have to die. When their boat flipped over, they could - and should have been rescued - with plenty of time to spare.

New York Times Paywall System Will Exclude Bloggers
The New York Times is introducing a pay model for its online news site which has an interesting loophole.
The New York Times is developing a new metered paywall structure for its online news portal that will put a cap on the number of stories non-subscribed readers can view per day. This move has generated considerable discussion in the blogosphere with many wondering if this new paywall would deter bloggers from linking to the NY Times' content. However, the newspaper's spokeswoman has clarified that readers who are referred from third party sites such as blogs will be able to access content without hitting their limit, which probably means that only those who directly open the New York Times home page in their browser will trigger the paywall, initiating the daily limit count for them.
Read Write Web, which reported on the story, does not seem too confident of this paywall technology. It says
This seems like a pretty significant loophole that would make it fairly simple to get around the paywall once it goes up. If I want to read a specific story on the Times' homepage after I've hit my limit, I can simply search for that story on Google or Twitter search and get around the wall via an outside link from another site.
The Times seems to be focused on monetizing the users that browse their webpage for content on a frequent basis, rather than those that arrive from other sites. So while the key to the front door only works a few times each day, the windows on the side of the house are wide open.

There are many methods and techniques that can be used to transfer foreign genes into cells. In plant biotechnology, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a widely used traditional method for inserting foreign genes into plant genome and obtaining transgenic plants, particularly for dicot plant species. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cotton involves several important and also critical steps, which includes coculture of cotton explants with Agrobacterium, induction and selection of stable transgenic cell lines, recovery of plants from transgenic cells majorly through somatic embryogenesis, and detection and expression analysis of transgenic plants. In this chapter, we describe a detailed step-by-step protocol for obtaining transgenic cotton plants via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Built in 2001, you'll appreciate the detailed classic construction of this ocean view home just steps from beautiful Stinson Beach. Located toward the middle of the beach, away from the crowds, and close to the native dunes, this home is the perfect family getaway for those looking for a comfortable place to call home during their beach vacation. Purchased in 2010, it has been completely refurnished and updated with attention to detail, style & comfort.
The quaint beach town of Stinson Beach is a mere 20 miles from San Francisco, along California's world famous scenic Highway 1. 17 miles to the north is Point Reyes National Seashore, with kayaking in beautiful Tomales Bay, visiting the local oyster farms, and watching migratory blue, grey, and humpback whales among the many attractions. The town sits at the foot of Mount Tamalpais State Park, which at nearly 2600 feet tall and 25,000 acres, offers hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, biking and wildlife viewing, as well as the also world famous old-growth redwood forest of Muir Woods National Monument.
After a day enjoying the outdoors, rinse off in the private hot water outdoor shower before dining outside to the sounds of the crashing waves, or lounge in the deep tub in the marble encased master bath. Play your favorite iTunes beach vacation play list throughout the house on the full house wired stereo system, or relax in the evening with one of thousands of Netflix movies streamed on demand over the home's wifi on the 42' high definition TV.
Our beach home is not a venue for PARTIES or LARGE GROUP GATHERINGS of any kind. We reserve our beach home to families & beach vacationers conservatively & with thoughtful consideration.
Due to the high volume of daily inquiries, please do check our on-line calendar for availability before you send an email expressing your interest in reserving our home. We do keep our calendar current, and we are not able to respond to inquiries for dates that have already been reserved on our calendar. Thank you for your understanding.
Keywords: ocean view, quick & easy beach access!
We are a family of four, living a short drive 'over the hill' from our beach house. We're delighted to share our home with others that enjoy the beach as much as we do!
The Owner purchased this house in 2010
We chose Stinson Beach for all of the recreation opportunities (surfing, boogie boarding, hiking, biking, running on the 3 mile long stretch of beach...), vacation beach town vibe, and proximity to home! This beach house is well run, appointed & happily maintained by this stay-at-home mom who loves adding the extra-special touches! :-)
This beach house is very comfortable for a family or group of up to 7 people. There is plenty of space to gather in our 'great room' (living area-dining-kitchen are open for easy conversation) or out on one of our many decks (4 decks). The home lay-out & 'open feel' of this home is exceptional and complete with high ceilings, skylights and large windows throughout. Most important, beach access is quick & easy!
It was fabulous! The house is gorgeous and we loved all of the decks, patios and porches!
I cannot say enough about this beautiful home! Leslie is an absolute gem! I am severely allergic to rosemary and thyme which is found in a wide array of products from home cleaners to soaps and shampoos. Upon relaying this to Leslie she went through the ingredients list for everything in the home. She even rearranged her schedule on our day of arrival to personally go through the house with me to make sure everything was okay (a first in all my years renting with VRBO). There was even a welcome basket with the best sea salt caramels ever! The home is stocked with everything you need for cooking and grilling all in excellent condition! The beach is literally out the back door and down a short walkway perfect for strolling the beach on the way into town if you don't want to drive. Everything we needed for a day at the beach was provided from the beach chairs and umbrella right down to the cooler and beach toys (again in great condition). The beach is wonderful for seal and whale watching and provided my eleven year old with an abundance of sand dollars and shells. The market in town is very quaint with everything you need but in limited supply and brands. There is a larger grocery store in Mill Valley within 30 min if there is something in particular you're looking for not at the market (we were already in town visiting Muir Woods). Our family of four flew in from Michigan for a one weeks stay and had nothing to worry about. The pictures were spot on, the beds extremely comfortable, the second bathroom a plus, and the home meticulously maintained! Leslie was easily available if anything was needed and the security deposit was promptly refunded. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Stinson, they won't be disappointed. Thanks again Leslie for your hospitality and sharing your home with us. This trip has become one of our favorite family vacations!
Fabulous time. Two families, including 3 boys aged 7 stayed at the house. Walking distance to the beach and town; spacious and comfortable house with all of the amenities you'll need to enjoy a relaxing and intimate dinner at home or play time at the beach. Leslie was wonderful and took amazing care to ensure the house was in good order and all of our needs were met. Thank you, Leslie, for sharing your wonderful home with us. We will definitely be back soon!
Plentiful outdoor space worked very well for our group: balconies, decks. Grill, supplied with propane, was used every night for grilling. Convenient to the beach. House itself was well equipped and comfortable. Big inside table and big outside table. Not a huge house, but well laid out. Recommended for a family or family + friends.
We had a wonderful time here. Everything was perfect and anything we needed was available. Being that close to the ocean was very special. Each night we had the door upstairs open and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. All the amenities in the home were great. I would highly recommend this home to all of my friends. Thank you so much for opening your home to us.
You never know what you are going to walk into with a vacation rental - what might lurk behind the photos and dazzling descriptions. Well, in this case, NOTHING! The place was just as described and depicted. We enjoyed a much too brief stay but will absolutely return to this lovely spot. And, thank you, Leslie and Todd, for being so wonderful to work with - your communication is appreciated.
My girlfriends and I trek to Stinson Beach every year for a four day retreat. We have stayed in many different properties through the years and this home is by far the most enjoyable. The decor and ambiance provide a spirit of hospitality with quality comforts that make it cozy and warm. I especially loved having the french doors in the master bedroom open all night enjoying the cool ocean air with the sound of crashing waves... This home was exactly as represented on the listing; the owners helpful and sincere in their efforts to provide a world class experience. Going back.
The quaint beach town of Stinson Beach is a mere 20 miles from San Francisco, along California's world famous scenic Highway 1. 17 miles to the north is Point Reyes National Seashore.

This collection of speeches on management was inspired by Marcus Buckingham's definition of leaders and managers in the keynote 'The Opposite of Leadership.' Buckingham defines a manager as the member of a team who ensures projects are completed on time and everyone is being productive. These curated speeches reflect the different facets of management.
Jason Fried's keynote on office time management offers three solutions for an unproductive team; managers should implement one day or afternoon a month where talking is prohibited; communication throughout an office should occur only e-mail or instant messaging; and lastly, for managers to cancel their next meeting. By doing these three things, employees will encounter less involuntary distractions and interruptions, giving them more time to get work done.
Simon Hayward stresses collective and cohesive motivation in his keynote on how to prevent team failure. He describes the manager as responsible for defining a team's goal and ensuring it is achieved.
From how to hire the right employees to how to fire them, these speeches on management offer practical and useful tools to use in the workplace today.

Quake-battered Haiti hotel offers refuge for all
By Andrew Cawthorne
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Crumbled walls cover priceless works of Haitian art. There are dead bodies outside the entrance. Food will run short soon.
Following the devastating earthquake that wrecked Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, the once-elegant Hotel Villa Creole, set on a hillside with lush tropical vegetation, is still, astonishingly, open for business.
The establishment is operating a hospital in its front entrance and allowing scores of aid workers, journalists and others to camp out on its grounds.
"A hotel has to be like a father, mother, everything at the same time," said its Haitian general manager, Frantz Rimpel, who began at the establishment washing dishes 42 years ago.
He and the Villa Creole staff have lived through their fair share of crises in the poor Caribbean state -- the fall of governments and devastation of hurricanes -- but nothing quite like this.
Tens of thousands of Haitians are feared dead after Tuesday's powerful earthquake, and countless more are hurt or homeless.
"When (President Jean-Bertrand) Aristide was thrown out in 2004, it was tough. An Italian journalist had toothache, and when I took him to see a doctor, they nearly killed us at a roadblock," he said. "But this earthquake overshadows everything. We were totally unprepared."
Like many of the buildings in the upscale Petionville district of Port-au-Prince, the hotel has taken a big hit from Tuesday's disaster, its central structure crushed. Continued...
