Hooray! The world needs more zine podcasts!
Merc said:
I'm sending out my zines to small distros, making new zines, starting a zine podcast (I was inspired by yours and Derek's, Alex, and also by Sarah and Sage's), contributing to a friend's new zine, and I don't know what else! Whee! This is really fun.
This s rad!

Awesome! See you there! i wanted to make cookies but didn't get around to it. But we do have maps and envelopes and stamps and stencils and fun stuff!
Danielle Rodeo Warhola said:
Well, I'm pretty sure i'm going to a Valenzine's day letter writing part at Portland Button works. Maybe work on my zine.
How's every one doing on International Zine Month? Today is Valenzine's Day! Are you going to write to you zine crush?
im co-organizing a zine reading in guelph:
and LB from Truckface zine's band is playing in toronto:
and kingston ontario:
and there is a zine reading + 24hr zine challenge being organized in toronto for august (better late than never!). details forthcoming!
i never know about "zine reading"..... is it like reading a story to little kids?

#1: I decided to have a sale in my zine shop. All single issues are 50% off until 7/31. Just use code OFF50 at checkout!
#2: Tabling at the Philly Feminist Zine Fest next month! (Hey, I got approved in July, so that counts, right?)
#3: And, if things work out, I will be doing a 24 hour zine starting this upcoming Friday! Yeah, I said I was out of the game... but I live for this stuff.
zine month is OVER and i'm sad about it! i did so many awesome zine stuff things this month.
i did a zine reading at wooden shoe (with taryn hipp and sarah rose! hi!) AND went to another zine reading of the bad zine, everyone's fault chicago kid's tour, and got to meet some zine pals in person for the first time, which ruled.
i tabled at the dc zine fest and sold a buttload of zines, a new personal best.
i sent my zine to portland button works for consideration.
i did my first ever 24 hour zine thing, and it's my first mini zine to boot.
billy video reviewed my zine, which is awesome.
and i sent letters and care packages and mail art and free zines and more!
i kind of wish every month was zine month.
Hooray! Zine month was so fun! I'm totally open for suggestions for next year and hope to do another activity poster with new fun things to do. Until then, keep up the zine work!
I finally made a new zine after five years!! That was my plan & I actually accomplished it!!

Hughes Syndrome: May be mistaken for multiple sclerosis?
Apparently, Hughes Syndrome can easily be mistaken for Multiple Sclerosis. It shares many of the symptoms and as many as 1 in 3 people diagnosed with MS actually have Hughes Syndrome.
Hughes Syndrome is also known as Sticky Blood Syndrome although it's proper title is Antiphospholipid Syndrome (or APS).
Discovered by a Dr. Graham Hughes in 1983 while treating patients for the Lupus condition. Sticky Blood can be easily treated with Aspirin, Heparin or Warfarin but, if left untreated it can be fatal. Sticky blood can lead to the formation of blood clots which can cause Thrombosis or Strokes.
The symptoms of Hughes Syndrome can be uncannily like those of MS. They may include: difficulty with walking, foot drop, double-vision, tingling sensations, slurred speech and loss of balance. I don't know about you, but this is ringing some fairly loud alarm bells with me. Like MS, Hughes Syndrome is an autoimmune deficiency and it's cause is unknown.
My thanks to the Lady from Port Macquarie in New South Wales for bringing this item to my attention. She would like to see all possible MS diagnosis patients automatically tested for Hughes Syndrome. I promised I would include a piece on the subject and here it is, admittedly short and sweet, but here all the same.

Victoria Beckham & Baby Harper Take Flight at JFK
Keeping her baby girl tight in her arms, Victoria Beckham and Harper were spotted leaving their Manhattan Hotel in New York City on Wednesday (November 16).
The designer diva sported flared jeans and a fur coat and carried her little angel to their waiting vehicle before shoving off to catch a flight at JFK Airport.
Aside from jet-setting with Harper Seven, Victoria opened up to WWD about what's behind her clothing collection and designs.
She explained, "I never try to follow a trend or fashion; I just do what feels right. Everything that I make, from glasses to a handbag to a dress, is something I would wear and carry myself. People ask who my customer is — I love to do in-store events with my retail partners, I love to meet my customers and get feedback — but I'm my customer."
Enjoy the pictures of Victoria Beckham heading out in Manhattan - November 16, 2011

Ian, a lot of people recommend the Karcher clearance site.
If you go for a Karcher with model number 4.xx and above then the internals are better, metal pump. etc.
Also have a fiddle with your Karcher, dead easy to take apart, all torq screws as there is loads of spares available. Mine cost me £12 to repair

"I talked to Oregon, they asked for my transcript," he said.
"I pray to God it's Oregon (that offers next)."
The 5-foot-9, 175-pound running back says the Oregon offense is perfect for his style of play.
"It's a speed offense, that's basically it. It fits me."
James and his Gainesville team remain undefeated and are two wins away from a state championship. Needless to say, he's focused on that more than his recruitment right now. Most likely, it will be summertime when he starts taking a harder look at schools.
"After the football season is over, I'm going straight to track, so I'll probably take a deeper look into my offers in the summer," he said.
"My favorite right now – Florida, Florida State, Miami."
He quickly added a fourth to that list – Ohio State.
"I like Urban, he's a cool guy, I talked to him on the phone," he said.
"The last time I talked to Urban was when he told me I had an offer, since then, I've been watching what they've been doing at Ohio State, it's been pretty impressive."
Right now, James gives the Gators the slight edge, simply because it's so close to home and he's been able to get to know the coaches and program very closely. Last week, in Gainesville's win over Armwood, James had 123-yards on the ground and one touchdown. Former Armwood running back and current Gator freshman Matt Jones watched the game and spoke to James briefly after.
"He said 'good game, nice running.' I felt kind of proud about that," James said.
James has seen great improvement in his game over the last season and he's hoping it'll end in a state title win for Gainesville.
"I'm definitely faster, I can read the hole better, I'm stronger, more elusive, all of that."

JA: Back in Action - Preview @ Hooked Gamers
Hooked Gamers has penned a review for this game. A quote:
Just to make sure no one here overlooked this [I read it in a different interview as well]: Back in Action is a blow-by-blow remake of JA2, meaning you start out with the same mercs taking the same airstrip in the same fictional country. Fans of JA2 who have played it half a dozen times, or more, are not going to be surprised by much, especially with no line-of-sight restrictions on enemies.
I can't see this as being a game for JA2 fans. They are trashing the TB combat and keeping the rest of the game. If they were aiming the game at the fans they would keep the awesome combat and make new maps and scenario.
Will be hard for it to be a good game, especially as it has to compete with 1.13 and not just the old JA2.
Thats not exactly new information but yes the old maps suck. I'm surprised they couldn't at least revamp the maps a little. I've still got the game on my radar but will either need to be cheap or reasonably good for me to pick it up. Unfortunately, tactical RPGs are few and far between so whatever is out there has to be supported where possible if we are to see anything else in the genre I guess.
Also, Steam has a release date of Feb. 9 posted and is currently offering a pre-order sale price of $34US, or 15% off.
Well, any enthusiasm I had for this game is gone. Those videos I mentioned that had line of sight in them were definitely older than this preview from earlier this month:
I could live with real time with autopause options, but having no line of sight is a deal breaker for me, I think. Seems I'll be passing on this game after all.
Brand recognition means crap if you're not a big studio. Just look at how Syndicate reception was kinda bad at first, but the mainstream still gave it so much coverage because it's a big corp doing it.
While JA: Back in Action was completely ignored till release dates are near. Kinda pisses me off to be honest.

WOW, you aren't starting with much there! I don't have the measurements you're after but if I were were you I think I'd research buying a replacement lower panel to establish the rear body width or you could also just find or buy a replacement decklid to establish the rear body width. Once you know where the quarters need to be spreadwise then you can cross measure the top in several places throughtout the length of the body and also cross measure the floor area to keep everything is squared up then start making the parts that are missing...hope that made sense. Work the project directly on the floor if it's flat and level or consider building a temporary table, trying to do it on a frame is going to be a PITA. Once you've got all the sheetmetal squared up, braced, and fitted then move it to the frame and construct the floor. Just some suggestions.
I've got the rearend of a 29modelA coupe and the front of a late 20's Whippet that I've been thinking about putting together- I did a quick cut and mocked them up together and the lines actually come real close to perfectly aligning with better proportions than a stock A coupe, metal condition is just a bit better than yours judging from your pics. All I need is more time, someday....
Good luck with the project, hang in there cause it's going to be a long road. Bob

Welcome to the forum!
All members are encouraged to be familiar with the Forum Guidelines , so please take a few minutes to review them if you have not done so already.
Sig P239 comes to mind. SIG P239
Welcome from Big Sky Country.
Lots of choices. Handle as many as you can and if available to rent, rent and shoot them. Sig, Beretta are just a couple of the multitude of choices.
Good luck:watching:
Welcome to the forum from North Central Texas - I think you'll like it here.
Too many choices to list them all, you probably need to narrow the field some.
Good luck finding what you want.
Just curious why must it be a 9mm?
I really don't like a 380, its not enough gun to suit me and a small 40 has more
recoil than I want. My KelTec P11 has all the recoil I want is a small pistol, but
I don't like the double action only trigger and its long pull. I also don't
want to have to keep too many different types of ammo (I have other 9mm's).
What I want is a small 9mm with decocker and SA/DA. I see a few choices
but the CZ2075 RAMI BD is the only small pistol I have found with all the features
I want.
I was hoping members here would know of more choices than I have found.
And I'm in Virginia.
It is the Bersa BP9cc
It is reported to be in the 300.00 to 350.00 price range.
9+1 single stack mag, should come with two. Striker fired.
Bersa makes great guns. These are said to be out late Dec or early Jan. I suspect they will be out sometime around the Jan 19th opening of the 2010 ShotShow.
I have looked but did not see Bersa in their Booth list so they may not be attending, but I still expect them to release it around that time.
Oh.. and welcome to the forum
If you want a decocker, go SiG, P239 as mentioned above. If you want a small (mm that is DA/SA I would suggest an XD9SC. I don't know how big/small your hands are but that's all I can suggest at this point. Most striker mechanisms don't require a decocker.
I just looked at the DX...Springfield's website says its DAO. Shame cause I
like its looks. I'm not sure about the Walther. Their trigger is somewhat
different but they still list it as DAO.
I know...I'm hard to please. I'll keep searching.
If you have ever fired single action on any gun, figure the pull on a XD a couple pounds more. But NOT what a DA pull on a revolver or semi would be.
Also don't go by what they label it. Go to a gun store and dry fire the guns so you can see for yourself what the triggers are like.
The way they sound and the way they are are often two completely different animals.
I can suggest a couple that I have personal experience with. All are small, 9mm, DA/SA, and have decockers. The down side is most are hard to find new.
S&W made several aluminum alloy frame 9mm single stacks with DA/SA and decockers for concealed carry. The 3913 in an 8 shot with 3.5" barrel, and the CS9 is a 7 shot with 3" barrel.
And in the double stack polymer frame, look at the SW99c and the Walther P99c, both with the AS trigger option.. These siblings are both 10 shot with a 3.5" barrel.
All of the above are fine DA/SA small carry guns chambered in 9mm and sporting decockers and second strike capability.
Thank You James
I will do some research.
Again THANKS
I have the P239 that I use for CC and it is a nice shooter. I purchased the SAS Gen II in 40 S&W- the one on the right.
+1 on the p239, also the Beretta PX4 9mm is available in da/sa. I carry it concealed and i absolutely love the piece.
...are they smaller or same size as the P95 Ruger???

10 to 15 min of driving in moderate city driving conditions (revs under 4k) with outside temperature ranging from 35-55F causes the engine to overheat. The temperature gauge goes up and down in the range between normal and almost boiling (red line).
In a previous thread I have rulled out the second fan isn't supposed to be working so it means that once a higher temp kicks in one of the fans comes on properly.
The cooling system is filled up properly with the coolant level at 'max'.
I notice that the temperature goes up mostly when either stopped in a traffic or moving very slowly.
One thing to notice is that I was involved in an accident 2 months ago and the radiator had to be changed. I was assured that the shop uses only genuine and brand new subaru parts so I doubt the core is bad.
The only thing I may question is the quality of the coolant. I know subaru requires special genuine subaru coolant since the engine is made of aluminum. And I doubt the shop went as far as using the right coolant at the exact proportions. So that's one thing I may look into.
Other then that anyone has any other suggestions? Can the thermostat be a primary suspect?

Degree Level
Semiconductor mode-locked lasers (MLLs) are important as compact and cost-effective sources of picosecond or sub-picosecond optical pulses with moderate peak powers. They have potential use in various fields including optical interconnects for clock distribution at an inter-chip/intra-chip level as well as high bit-rate optical time division multiplexing (OTDM), diverse waveform generation, and microwave signal generation. However, there are still several challenges to conquer for engineering applications. Semiconductor MLLs sources have generally not been able to match the noise performance and pulse quality of the best solid-state mode-locked lasers. For improving the characteristics of semiconductor mode-locked lasers, research on both the material/device design and stabilization mechanism is necessary. In this dissertation, by extending the net-gain modulation phasor approach based on a microwave photonics perspective, a convenient, yet powerful analytical model is derived and experimentally verified for the cavity design of semiconductor two-section passive MLLs. This model will also be useful in designing the next generation quantum dot (QD) MLL capable of stable operation from 20°C to 100°C for optical interconnects applications. The compact optical generation of microwave signals using a monolithic passive QD MLL is investigated. Relevant equations for the efficient conversion of electrical to optical to electrical (EOE) energy are derived and the device principles are described. In order to verify the function of a QD MLL as an RF signal generator, the integration with a rectangular patch antenna system is also studied. Furthermore, combined with the reconfigurable function, the multi-section QD MLL will be a promising candidate of the compact, efficient RF signal source in wireless, beam steering, and satellite communication applications. The noise performance is a key element for semiconductor MLLs in OTDM communications. The external stabilization methods to improve the timing stability in passive MLLs have been studied and an all-microwave measurement technique has also been developed to determine the pulse-to-pulse rms timing jitter. Compared to the conventional optical cross-correlation technique, the new method provides an alternative and simple approach to characterize the timing jitter in a passive MLL. The average pulse-to-pulse rms timing jitter is reduced to 32 fs/cycle under external optical feedback stabilization.

State of the Art Gallery member
We bought this mop to clean our new composite floor, particularly after our monthly art show opening receptions. It's great! First we dry mop the whole gallery, which takes less than five minutes, then we wet mop the sticky drink spills, which disappear in seconds. Depending on the amount of dirt, the pad needs to be removed and rinsed in hot water one or two times during this part of the process. The whole floor takes less than 15 minutes to clean, and looks beautiful.

Actually we got the 48" Mop-
This mop has shortened the cleaning time of our epoxy painted garage floor from about 20 minutes to about 3 to 4 minutes. That is exactly what I wanted it for. I worried that its 48" size would be hard to maneuver but I have no problem with it. We also use it in the house on our tile floor. I dip the mop pad into a bucket of water with Pine Sol cleaner in it and then attach it to the mop. It is a snap. I love it.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - First-year Merrimack College women's lacrosse head coach Michael Daly is pleased to announce the hiring of Heather Sullivan as Assistant Women's Lacrosse Coach, and has also named tri-captains for the upcoming 2014 season.
Senior Inna Hedden (Woodbine, Md.), junior Giulia Palombo (Sandwich, Mass.) and sophomore Aubrie Stouffer (Souderton, Pa.) will share captainship this spring, as the Warriors aim to return to the Northeast-10 Championships.
"We are all very excited to welcome Heather to the team and to our Warrior family," said Daly. "Heather brings a wealth of championship-level playing experience in the Northeast-10, and in Division II lacrosse, to the program. I very much look forward to working and coaching with Heather. No doubt she will help us build the foundation for a championship team culture and a successful 2014 season for Merrimack Women's Lacrosse."
Sullivan, a recent Stonehill graduate, helped pace the Skyhawks to a 55-20 record during her tenure. She became 13th 200-point scorer in program history and finished career ranked sixth in the school leader board for career goals (190) and ninth for career points (228). She was also named to the IWLCA All-North Region Second Team and All-Northeast-10 Conference Second Team during her time with the Skyhawks.
"I am very honored and excited to be joining the Merrimack Community." said Sullivan. "I knew after finishing my final season last May that I wanted to continue with lacrosse coaching at the college level. I have always admired Coach Daly's coaching style and legacy. I am looking forward to working with him as well as with the young and talented Merrimack players as we pursue excellence on and off the field in the Northeast-10."
A Psychology major and Andover, Mass., native, Sullivan also minored in Elementary Education at Stonehill and was a standout at local Andover High School, where she still holds many school records in Lacrosse and Field Hockey.
"I am excited for Inna, Giulia and Aubrie to lead us into the 2014 season," added Daly on the unveiling of his three captains. "These three are great teammates, with strong character and exhibit an exemplary work ethic both on and off the field."
Hedden saw action in 13 games as a junior and was the team's primary goalkeeper. She logged 667 minutes in net and recorded 166 saves. Palombo appeared in 16 games as a sophomore. She posted 10 goals and an assist last season. She also scooped up 13 ground balls while forcing five turnovers. Part of the NE-10 All-Conference Rookie Team, Stouffer appeared in 15 games as a freshman. She finished with 13 goals and three assists.
"All three captains bring something special to our team leadership which will make us better each and every day in 2014," continued Daly. "Inna is such a strong leader by example, plays with so much composure in goal, and will be the leader of our team defense; Giulia brings a great energy and a sense of purpose to our practices and is a strong vocal leader; and Aubrie is an excellent communicator, has a very strong game sense and will help lead our attack unit.
"These three together bring a contagious energy and full commitment to team, their teammates and to Merrimack Women's Lacrosse. I am proud of them all and am confident Inna, Giulia and Aubrie will provide a solid foundation of leadership on and off the field for our team in such a pivotal year for the program."
In addition, Daly announced the Women's Lacrosse Team Leadership Council for 2014, which is comprised of one representative from each class. The 2014 Women's Lacrosse Leadership Council are: freshman Clare Blomberg (Wading River, N.Y.), sophomore Danielle Riley (West Point, N.Y.), junior Olivia Coakley (Bridgewater, Mass.) and senior Katie Martin (Lincoln, R.I.).

Why are these wheels not rigid at all. They are flat with no way of keeping them inflated. I wanted to use them on a small robot. Any suggestions?

I need information about...
Are you suffering from joint pain in silence? If any of the following four warning signs sounds familiar, it may be time for a replacement.
You can't make it through the grocery store without taking a break, and it's not just the grocery store. If you can't walk around the neighborhood or play with your grandkids without taking frequent breaks, it's probably time for joint replacement surgery, says Bruce Bollinger, MD, an orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff at Baylor All Saints Medical Center at Fort Worth. "It's a quality of life decision," he says. "Joint replacement is typically life-changing."
You can't do the things you love. For you, not being able to walk your dog may be a red flag. Sound familiar? Then it's time to make an appointment with your doctor.
You're unable to get a good night's rest because of your joint. Maybe it's the pain keeping you up, or that you can't get into a comfortable position. "If every time you roll over you feel the bones grind together, you're going to wake up," Dr. Bollinger says. "If you can't sleep, you're tired all the time."
Don't let the pain - or the thought of surgery - keep you from getting your ZZZs. Joint replacement surgery is one of the most successful procedures being done, Dr. Bollinger says. "It's very common. There's nothing I do that helps people more." In fact, more than 1 million hip and knee replacements were completed in 2009, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
You've tried everything else, and you're still in pain. "Joint replacement is always the last resort," Dr. Bollinger says. Your doctor may suggest home exercises, a physical therapy program, medications or injections first. If none of those treatments works, joint replacement may be the next step.
Still on the fence? Consider what your quality of life will be if you don't do it. "If you lose the ability to walk, your overall health tends to decline," Dr. Bollinger says.
Plus, if you choose a hospital that uses minimally invasive techniques and advanced pain control methods, you're more likely to have a faster recovery and fewer complications. "We see some patients up and walking around the same day of their surgery," Dr. Bollinger says. "It turns someone who can barely walk into a person who can live their life again."

Before the S4 came out, an 8-megapixel shooter like this one pumped out sharp, colorful images taken outdoors in auto mode. You lose the original GS4's dual-shot capabilities that overlay the front-facing camera image on that of the rear, but that's a bit of a gimmick anyhow.
A more important consideration in my book is how much you care about Aqua mode to begin with, and if you're a night photographer. There are plenty of modes on here to tackle motion, night scenes, and a load of other scenarios, but auto mode alone is weak in some indoor lighting situations and generally abysmal in low light scenarios -- that's an area Samsung has to keep working on without requiring you to flip to another setting.
Even if you never use Aqua mode (it requires premeditation), the camera offering is still strong for photos, videos, and self-shots. If you love the phone's look and feel, I wouldn't get hung up on megapixels alone.
For more photos, compare smartphone image quality in CNET's gallery of controlled studio shots.
Call quality
There's more good news in the S4 Active's communication department.
Audio sounded pretty good on my end when I tested the Galaxy S4 Active's call quality on AT&T in San Francisco (GSM 850/900/1800/1900). Voices were mostly clear and volume sounded strong, when I ratcheted levels toward their upper limit.
Samsung's typical onscreen control gives an extra volume boost, but also enhances flaws. Voices weren't crystal clear at any time and sounded a little scratchy with faint static around the edges; callers also didn't sound quite as warm as on other phones. I did notice a bit of distortion from time to time, but no noise or buzz.
On his end, my chief tester said I came across clear, if a little flat and distorted. My voice, he said, especially distorted on volume peaks, but he mentioned that otherwise, I sounded very strong and natural, without any background haziness. He'd grade call quality a B+ or A-.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active call quality sample Listen now:
The Active's speakerphone was another rosy story. Voices were loud on my end and comfortable to listen to. I didn't hear any echo, though it did sound clearer and sharper, perhaps more pitched, than the voice did through the standard earpiece. There was definitely a processed quality that wasn't bad, just different. I could comfortably carry on a conversation.
Speakerphone was mostly successful on my tester's side as well, even though softer sibilance made it hard to distinguish certain words. Example: When I said, "Your voice sounds processed," my tester heard "Your voice sounds softer." On the whole, though, my tester said I sounded a little clearer via the speaker, and that distortion seemed to dissipate.
Performance: Speed, processor, battery life
AT&T's 4G LTE has been cutting it up in San Francisco, so I wasn't surprised to see speeds in the double digits. There was a bit of a range, though, when I tested speeds using the diagnostic Speedtest.net app, with highs of 34Mbps down and 47 Mbps up in downtown San Francisco, and lows of 3.5Mbps down and about the same up.
In real life, Web sites loaded quickly, apps installed in no time, and in general, data worked smoothly enough that I rarely gave it a passing thought. The same goes for the smartphone's internal performance as well.
Like the original Galaxy S4, this Active runs on a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, one of the fastest currently available for mobile phones. In fact, the S4 topped CNET Eric Franklin's gaming graphics throwdown against other premium phones.
I ran two diagnostic tests on the S4 Active. Its Quadrant score was a 12,364 average out of five tests, compared to 12,194 for the HTC One. The Linpack multithread score averaged 620 MFLOPS out of five tests, compared to the HTC One's 697 MFLOPS. That's no surprise; both phones use the same processor.

The S4 Active comes with 16GB of internal storage, which translates into about 11GB that's available to you. In addition, there's a microSD card slot that can take up to 64GB in external storage. You'll get 2GB of RAM.
Battery life is rated at 17 hours talk time and about 13 days on standby time on the S4 Active's 2,600mAh battery. Anecdotally, the battery lasted throughout the day with pretty regular use, benefitting from an overnight charge. We'll conduct deeper battery tests and update this with the results.
FCC tests measured a digital SAR of 0.61 watts per kilogram.
Who should buy it
One of five Galaxy S4 variants, the Active is marketed for people who live an active lifestyle, but I think it's suited for anyone. Who doesn't ever knock over a glass of water or pull into a dusty parking lot from time to time?
I also think that the physical design is compelling in its own right: it has more personality than the approachable, but ultimately plain, Galaxy S4.
Buy the S4 Active if you:
-Are an AT&T customer
-Like a flashy design
-Want a phone with Galaxy S4 features
-Are moderately outdoorsy
-Want a strong camera, but don't need top-of-the-line
Skip it if you:
-Aren't an AT&T customer
-Require a rugged phone that needs to withstand heat and long drops
-Seek a higher-resolution camera

Semi crashes into dump truck, backs up I-465 on southeast side
A crash between a semi-trailer and INDOT dump truck backed up traffic on southbound I-465 just south of Brookville Road early Wednesday morning.
The driver of the semi, 40-year-old David Ketchem, was entrapped briefly, but pulled out shortly after 2:45 a.m. and taken to IU Health-Methodist Hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The INDOT workers in the dump truck - 58-year-old Terry Starks and 53-year-old Mark Cleary - were also taken to St. Francis Hospital complaining of pain.
A preliminary investigation by State Police determined that the INDOT workers were performing construction maintenance at the 48 mile marker of southbound I-465 and had the right and middle lanes closed.
Ketchem was driving in the second closed lane and failed to move over, hitting the rear of the dump truck, which in turn struck the trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. Ketchem's semi-tractor trailer continued south and struck another INDOT trailer hauling lighting equipment.
During the crash, the semi-tractor's saddle tank ruptured, causing a diesel fuel spill that the Indianapolis Fire Department Haz-Mat team cleared.
The crash is still under investigation; however troopers do not suspect alcohol as a contributing factor.
Traffic was totally stopped at Brookville Road while emergency crews worked at the scene. But traffic is once again moving normally through the area.

Charger: How would you make a Mobile device charger using charging mechanism of a shake flash light? pls help!!!!!!!?
how exactly will i match it to my phones specs?
I meant what will my circuit look like to get USB power (5v)
I'm really new to all this and don't know how to make this
Sorry if i have been a hassle
The flashlight works by charging either a battery or capacitor using the current induced coil by shaking the magnet through the coil. Since the inductor is generating AC, as you can see from the .gif, there is an AC to DC bridge rectifier between the inductor and the battery/capacitor. Then the battery/cap is connected, through a switch, to the light bulb, possibly with circuitry to limit current and/or voltage. You will replace the light bulb with a power plug that matches your phone. Attached below is a circuit block diagram. The switch is shown in the position used to charge the storage battery. Throwing it to the other position allows the battery to discharge through the USB plug into your phone.
Before breaking the flashlight, charge it up, turn it on, and use a multimeter to measure the voltage across and current through the light. It might be good to measure these values while shaking as well as there may be a spike. The battery/cap should smooth this but better safe than sorry. Once you build a circuit, test it rigorously before hooking it to your phone and risk damaging it.
but one more thing
should i have a 5v cap, keeping in mind the voltage will drop, or should i use a, lets say 10v cap and then a 5v regulator (so that my votage never gets too low to charge my phone)
Instead of a cap you need to get a rechargeable 9V and add a DC to DC conversion after the switch, before the USB plug.
Dont batteries need a highish voltage to charge?
because the charging mechanism only gives off a low voltage ( I think around 0.5v-1v)
will that be enough to charge any type of battery?
thats why i was going to use a capacitor, basically to raise the votage high enough.
Thnaks for all the help and sorry for being such a bother.
Using caps and diodes to build a voltage multiplier is possible but takes a lot of space and is better suited for much higher voltages I believe. Also since your AC current and voltage would vary wildly while you were shaking it that would probably cause problems.
I'm treading near the edge of my solid knowledge base with some of this capacitor theory so take it with a grain of salt.
look into low voltage DC-DC step-up convertors. They are usually small chips that convert low voltage DC to higher voltage DC at the cost of current.
very helpfull feedback
& sorry for being such a noob ;)

One local Red Sox recently had the experience of a lifetime. Bruce Morrissey, a 57-year-old life long Sox fan and season ticket holder from Milton, was selected, as part of a fan appreciation event, to take batting practice at Fenway Park last week.
Morrissey, who was also given a tour of the Red Sox dugout and locker room, took five swings against a pitching machine. He said he made contact on two of them, and one of this might have been a bloop single to the outfield.
Morrissey also decided to turn the event into an opportunity to raise some money. He is taking donations with all the proceeds going to the Patient Fund of the Cancer Treatment Center in Berlin. He has a facebook page set up called "Bruce's Batting Practice at Fenway Park". He's accepting donations until the end of the month. A perfect way to cap an amazing experience.

Sometimes they are almost amusing, like when a group of infantry soldiers filmed themselves dancing to ke$ha's Tick Tock.
ke$ha swayed back and forth, head bobbing, slurred her words, and held on for dear life to Wiz for balance.
ke$ha's fans went wild over the jewelry, which sells for $20 apiece.
We talk for a second about horror movies, once the topic of ke$ha has been fully exhausted.
Two years later, in 2010, ke$ha was the one branded the worst act in SNL history.
The appearance of the ke and the arrangement of its bridges are shown in Fig. 17.

I know, it's not Rogue's Gallery, but It's what I've been working on. Hope this version is better:
Alternate Antilles
A series of one-shots dealing with possible changes in Wedge's life in the spirit of the Star Wars: Infinities comics.
Chapter 1:
Head to Head: A Different Trench Run.
There was no way out.
After the middle TIE fired on him and his controls turned to sludge, Wedge knew he was done for.
Luke seemed to feel otherwise, and ordered him to clear the trench.
"Get clear, Wedge. You can't do any more good back there."
Can't do any more good? Wedge thought, Kriff that. Except for Syal and Mirax, everyone I know is either dead, incarcerated, or right here. The Imps just hacked most of my squadron out of the air, Luke's making a run for the exhaust port, and Biggs won't stay alive long enough to cover him when I go. I'll be dammed if I do nothing.
Time seemed to slow as he came to a realization, and his veins turned to ice at the prospect.
I have nothing to lose. The Imps have a whole dammed battlestation on the line.
It was the work of a microsecond in that icy state for Wedge to decide on his course of action:
"Plug," Wedge growled to his R2 unit as he kept an iron grip on the stick, "Get ready to kill the ethertic rudder and set both of my torps for proximity detonation. I've got a plan."
"Wedge?" Luke's voice came frantically through the scratchy comm, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Just picking a good time." he murmured back, abstractedly calm, "Picking... a good...time..."
The Incom Corporation has much to answer for, Vader thought as he tried to reacquire the annoyingly rugged X-Wings maneuvering desperately in the trench's tight confines.
The Dark Lord stewed under his armor, noting the fighter he had damaged was still keeping pace with its wingman, still screening its wingmates with smoke and sparks puffing from vessel's tail and dissipating into the vacuum of the Death Star's Polar Trench, further disrupting his target lock.
These Rebel pilots are more skilled than Intelligence said they would be. Isard has...Disappointed me...
The Dark Lord briefly amused himself by wondering which pilots were smugglers, which were Imperial defectors, and which ones were stupid enough to be idealists before pushing such idle thoughts out of his mind. The rebels would be irrelevant in seconds, anyway.
They would be dead.
That thought brought satisfaction as he stretched out with his senses, only to be taken aback at the sheer Force presence emanating from the leader. Clearly untrained, but shining like a beacon and practically screaming out a challenge to Vader.
His cracked lips formed a brief, painful smile beneath the glassy-eyed obsidian mask.
At last, a challenge from someone worthy, unlike that decrepit relic Kenobi.
The brief distraction from the damaged snubfighter would prove to be Vader's undoing. A second was an eternity in space combat...
"Okay Plug!" Wedge shouted to his astromech, "Do it now!"
The droid tootled an acknowledgment, and Wedge dropped the throttle to zero while pulling back on the stick, trying to maneuver the craft in a manner it hadn't been designed for...
"The force is strong with this one." Vader mused, so distracted by the leader's Force presence that he didn't notice a change in the damaged fighter until it had dramatically swapped nose-for-tail and headed directly for him.
The Dark Lord noticed just in time to see the sleek gray and red fighter vomit two torpedoes at him before spiraling off drunkenly into open space, its engines sparking and spitting flame.
Impossible! Vader raged, and stretched out with a knife of his anger towards the speeding projectiles, frantically firing his guns and searching for the missiles' activation circuit. Finally, he clenched an outstretched fist trying to push them out of the way.
Any other pilot would have been vaporized. As it was, Vader nearly triumphed. He destroyed the first torpedo and disabled the activation mechanism of one missile and dodged it, but the dead torpedo corkscrewed into one of his wingmen, punching a hole straight through the cockpit and killing the man with pure kinetic energy. The torp that he hit exploded instantly, shredding Vader's shields and making him twitch ever so slightly into the pilotless TIE, which in turn knocked the TIE Advanced out of control and into the trench wall.
The millisecond it took for Darth Vader, Sith Lord and right hand of the Emperor to hit the trench wall was filled an eternity of fear. But somewhere, deep down, the weakened embers of a man once named Anakin Skywalker stirred, and acknowledged a worthy adversary as he became one with the universe and took the third TIE with him.
"You're all clear, Luke!" Wedge crowed jubilantly he sped away from the Death Star, "Now blow this thing!"
Then his comm failed, and the last green lights in his cockpit display turned amber. The powerless fighter sailed off into the void propelled only by its inertia.
Wedge exhaled deeply and relaxed into his chair, only to be bathed in the corona of light from the Death Star exploding less than a minute.
Alone with the universe, the unusually restrained Corellian reverted to type, whooping with joy and pumping his fist triumphantly. At the end of the day, he'd saved two of his wingmates and had pulled off a manuver that gave veteran pilots nightmares just thinking about it.
Just when Wedge started to worry if he'd be rescued, two carbon-scored X-Wings formed up on either side as the ventral section of a battered YT-1300 settled into view above him.
Half of Yavin Base was drunk. The other half was on the way, and the favors from the revelers for standing watch sober had made some abstentious Rebels very wealthy. The only problem was that the two men of the hour were each insisting that the other had made the greater contribution.
Luke insisted that he never could have made that shot if Wedge hadn't scraped the TIEs off of them, and Wedge maintained that he'd never have been able to land the hit as well as the farmboy from Tatooine. The lum had been drunk, and now bottles of rotgut Whyren's were being passed around.
As the base staff, and the raid's few survivors; Wedge and Luke, Keyan Farlander and Biggs Darklighter, toasted the twenty some others who didn't make it back, the names Skywalker and Antilles became immortalized that night.
"Seriously, Antilles, one hell of a piece of flying." Solo says for the fifth time, still genuinely impressed, "Chewie and I could use you the next time we make the Kessel Run. Teach those Imperial slugs a thing or two about flyin' like a Corellian."
"By which you mean like a Bantha that's been in the sun too long?" Biggs asks, and he and Luke dissolve into laughter as the smuggler knocks back another tumbler of Whyren's and Han attempts to explain how the even the hypothetical Bantha would be able to outfly the Imperials.
With the amount of alcohol he's taken on board, Wedge is amazed the older man is still speaking coherently.
Just like he wonders: What was Solo doing near the trench. A sudden attack of conscience?
Wedge almost asks Han to stay, almost tells him, "I used to be a smuggler too, practically raised by Booster Terrik." In the end, he decided not to. Wedge had ran guns and spice to escape his problems until life hurt him so badly that there was nothing else but the Alliance. It had saved him.
Solo wasn't there yet, and with the money to pay off Jabba sitting in his hold, Wedge doubted he would be desperate enough anytime soon.
"Lieutenant Antilles?" It's a soft voice in his ear, and Wedge turns to see the Alderaanian Princess behind him, still looking beautiful in the simple white dress she had worn that morning. She was smiling with her mouth, but her eyes looked hard and tired.
"It's just Wedge tonight," he said, indicating a blank uniform collar "No décor at a time like this."
"Call me Leia," She said, smiling for real this time, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news Wedge, but you may want to find some insignia. General Dodonna wants to see you in the command center for debriefing. If you can walk there."
Wedge gulped, stared down at the tumbler in his hand, grabbed another from a tray and extended it to the princess.
"I'll have one for the road. You'll need this."
He raised his glass, and the room quieted.
Wedge spoke four quiet words, "To justice for Alderaan."
A stab of pain flashed across Leia's face, turning into resolve as she heard the rest of the Rebels echo the toast.
As normal conversations resumed, Wedge pointing the Princess to a thick knot of people containing Luke, Han and Biggs. She turned to thank him, but the young Corellain had already left.
"We're not out of drinks yet," said the General, as he tries to set the young pilot at ease, "And you'll get some really nice medals tomorrow, but before we go back to business as usual, I need to figure out why we lost so many fighters on the final approach. That's why you're here."
Wedge nods, trying to clear the whiskey fumes, and focused on his memories of the battle.
The only clue seemed to be the unique TIE model. It had gone on a rampage, cutting down pilots left and right until Wedge had gotten desperate enough to go head-to-head. But if it was a secret weapon, more could be produced, further endangering the Alliance's cause.
"Any footage of the pilot I vaped in the head-to-head?" Wedge asked.
"We'll check," replied Dodonna, " Mr. Deben," he said to a nervous tech manning a computer terminal, "Access Antilles' flight recorder, and take us through his inversion maneuver, frame by frame."
"The three men watched a pilot's eye view of Wedge's risky maneuver as the playback advanced slowly, and the view jerked toward the cockpit of the other craft.
"Got a look at the cockpit." The tech muttered, "I just need to clean it up, and..."
Jan Dodonna saw the black lensed mask of Darth Vader staring back at him. Then the entire command center saw their seasoned sixty-year-old commander use some very outdated, anatomically impossible slang terms. While the two younger men stared goggled incredulously at the screen.
"Lock the room down!" barked the General, "We need to decide what to do with this."
"I-I..." Stammered Wedge, now at a loss for words.
"The footage shows you vaping Darth Vader with that crazy maneuver." General Dodonna said gently, patting him on the shoulder, "Fine work, son. Fine work."
The young pilot gulped, "So, I get a medal or something?"
"High Command will probably thinking more about a propaganda tour, pull you off the front lines...'Blah blah blow for freedom Blah Blah, felt for years down the line.' That sort of thing."
"No sir." Wedge said, and the General's bushy eyebrows shot up "I didn't kill Vader. Not right now, at any rate. My friends are here, and Wes is getting over his bout of fever. We've got Imps to vape and I'm not going anywhere. Besides," He said, beckoning the General closer, "Word gets out that I killed Vader, then they come after me personally. They check my background and find out that Coruscanti actress Wynssa Starflare is really my sister Syal, and her life isn't worth a dicred."
Dodonna nodded, "What about Vader then? Acknowledging his death would be a great boon for our cause."
Wedge's expression hardened, lending his youthful face an uncharacteristic maturity; "I killed a lot of people yesterday sir, in the battle. It'll never be more than that, and it won't bring the rest of Red Squadron back. I'll tell Luke that the man who killed General Kenobi is dead, and once I'm standing here next to my sister, you can announce whatever you want." He paused significantly,
The older man smiled beneath his beard, "A Corellian. Who doesn't want to brag about shooting down the most feared pilot in the galaxy? With that kind of self-control you'll be standing where I am about ten years."
"Me sir?" the younger man's hardened expression vanished, replaced by a grin, "A General? We'd be pretty kriffed if it came to that. I hate doing paperwork."
"It's nice to have a good adjutant to foist it off on." Dodonna intoned sagely.
"Thank you Lieutenant, you're dismissed. Go on back to your friends, and enjoy the party while you can. I think we'll be moving soon."
"Yes Sir!" Antilles sketched an enthusiastic salute, and left the General to his office and his thoughts.
The Alliance had won a huge victory today, and Jan Dodonna could almost feel as if the galaxy was spinning just a little bit differently.
END of Part 1. Hope you liked it. I tried for more completion and character moments. Not sure if there should be a second chapter or if I should go to another universe and keep them as oneshots. I have a few ideas...

A VERY interesting start...
Don't let Han wander out of the story completely though, he's still the hero who helped save the princess on the death star, even if he's lost his hero status to Wedge.
This also means that Obi Wan's Ghost and Yoda will have less immediate reason to look up Luke Skywalker. The emperor however will be left in the dark for a while as to what the hell happened. He's not even gonna get that call about the aluminum falcon!

In one sense, it's just the acronym for ISIL/ISIS in Arabic: Dawlat (al-) Islāmiyya 'Irāq Shām, but it's also an insult.

#5085 confirmed Bug
Bullet points duplicated on single line
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Core : Lists
|Firefox IE
First, create a few bullet point lists items with nested lists. Next try to select a nested list and start typing to overwrite the text. Notice how the text continues at the parent list level and the multiple bullet points on the same line. It is really hard to recover from this, without deleting and recreating the lists. It seems to only be an issue in Firefox and IE6,7,8. Looking at the source, it seems that there is an orphaned
 tag under an empty
 tag.
For example, the source below will cause the duplicate bullet points:

first level

start of 2nd level

It is possible to get into this situation using the above steps to highlight and overwrite text.

10 Epic Items You Never Thought You Could Buy Online
From the lavish to the absurd, you can buy just about anything on the web these days. These are totally crazy ways to blow your money. To be savvy with your every day spending, use Serve® from American Express.
1. An Entire Town
Changing hands three times in the past decade, Bridgeville, CA is a surprisingly hot item—though, of course, it's a town that includes 83 acres, eight houses, a cafe, and its very own post office. The last time it was sold it was done over eBay—of all things—and sold for $1.25m. Considering it has mountain views in Northern California (and most houses in the area would probably cost that much), it's a steal.
2. A Single Brussels Sprout
While making Christmas dinner for his family in 2006, Andrew Henderson left a single brussels sprout uncooked and decided to auction it off online to see if he could raise any money for charity. And he did! The sprout went for a whopping £99.50 (which today, is about $160).
3. A Missile Base
Now known primarily as the best place to hold out in a zombie apocalypse, the Atlas F missile base was sold on eBay in 2002 for $2.1MM. Originally constructed during the Cold War era to withstand a direct nuclear hit, Atlas F is located high up in the Adirondacks and features a private airstrip, three-foot thick cement walls, and of course, a jacuzzi.
4. A Boat That Barbecues
The "Barbecue Dining Boat" is sold online by (who else but) Hammacher Schlemmer. It costs just $50,000, seats ten adults, and includes an umbrella, trolling motor, and… a grill. Thus, it does exactly (and only) what it's supposed to: provide a chill BBQ scene.
5. A Latch Hook Rug in Christopher Walken's Effigy
Online marketplaces like Etsy and have shown us that things both good and bad can be created and sold - but it's handmade goods like these that really make shopping online special. This latch hook rug makes will make its lucky owner able to warm his or her toes on the face of one the greatest American actors of this century. Why not?
6. A "Haunted" Rubber Ducky
After hearing that his son was having "weird" and "strange" fights with the bath toy, a man made the decision to get rid of the happy little creature by auctioning it off on eBay. Somewhat shockingly, it sold for $107.50.
7. A Fully-Functional Hovering Scooter
For the low, low price of $13,000, one could very recently acquire a giant hovering scooter. This sort of hybrid between a surfboard, a skateboard, and a razor scooter is the closest thing you can get to a hover-board today.
8. A Game of Thrones Throne
If your living room is feeling a little sparse these days, it might be missing an enormous metal throne fashioned from dozens of sharp objects. If you're a fan of HBO's Game of Thrones, this life size replica of the Throne in question is one of the many amazing items you can purchase on the HBO web site.
9. Food Items Bearing the Face of Jesus
Ebay has long been a haven for those who believe in food-related miracles. From a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bearing the Virgin Mary's figure, which sold for $28,000 in 2004, to a Cheeto shaped like baby Jesus (cheesus!), to this Jesus-faced pierogi, which fetched $1,775 - anything is up for grabs.
10. A Tastefully Personalized And Biodegradable Coffin
The British might have a better sense of humor than we do when it comes to life…and death. UK-based company Creative Coffins offers a wide selection of cardboard coffins personalized with flags, hobbies, and other tongue-in-cheek designs. My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates."

We've seen videos with riders bombing hills while having fights with swords and soft sticks, even a video of a hunter chasing a reindeer somewhere in Europe, but what you're about to see is just blowin' it!
We're talking about Duke Nukem-inspired water-gun battling while riding down hills. Yeah, you've read it right! It looks like these guys from Czech Republic had some fun times on Nova Seninka, a very beautiful, low-traffic 3,5km downhill spot near Poland. Featuring mostly members of the Czech DH team hitting 55ish km/h on this amazing spot.
As the author of the video Marek "Crocan" Vanourek said, "of course it's vid just for fun!!". Enjoy and have a laugh!
