Vermont Foresters Fight in Western Fires
(Host) The U.S. Forest Service has called up a crew of firefighters from Vermont, New York and New Hampshire to fight the big western wildfires. A crew of 20 left from Manchester, New Hampshire, at 4:00 a.m. Sunday and were assigned to a fire upon arriving in Utah Monday night.
The volunteer crew is one of many called in from across the country to assist with more than 20 large wild fires burning in western states. So far this fire season, nearly 2 million acres have burned or continue to burn.
Tammy Malone is the Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Green Mountain National Forest. She says that when several geographical areas have major fires, forest service workers from across the country are called in to assist:
(Malone) "That's when we go to Preparedness Level 5. As managers, that's when we put fire as the ultimate priority. We relieve people of their other duties and ask them if they're trained and available to please help in the situation."
(Host) Malone says that because the fire danger is low here, it's easier for staff from the Green Mountain National Forest to leave their duties to help in other states.
The crew that left on Sunday is not the first to go this season. Bradley Bernardy, an Aviation and Fire Management Officer based in Rutland, recently returned from a fire in Minnesota. Bernardy isn't deterred by the dangerous work.
(Bernardy) "Most of us like the travel aspect of it. The money's helpful. And going out as a crew can be a really neat time for people. I don't see it as real dangerous. We're always managing risk, whether we're working at home or crossing the street or whatever. And if you look at the training aspect, just like a police officer or any emergency person, we all take calculated risk."
(Host) Foresters must complete extensive coursework in fire behavior, and pass fitness and work capacity tests before they are eligible to volunteer for duty. Forest officials expect that another volunteer crew from Vermont may be called up soon.

Heating Oil Pipe Removal
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you might be able to give me some suggestions on removing cast iron pipes (fill and vent) from a oil tank (home heating oil) that's in my basement.
We're doing an small extension to our house, but the pipes are in the way of the new framing, and have to be relocated.
Now they are through the cement foundation, and I'm unable to "wrench" them.
I would use a sawzall, but I'm leery with the oil in them.
I don't have a pipe cutter, and not sure if I'd have enough room to get one in there anyway.
There's a 90 degree elbow in both of them. They look like 2" and 4" pipe.
Would hitting the elbow work (to crack just the elbow)?
If it would, does doing that ruin the pipe that the elbow screws onto?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cast iron is for drains.
Those pipes into your fuel oil tank have to be galvanized steel.
You need to get a larger pipe wrench. You can hammer on the fittings at the threaded area to try to break them. You also can try to "tighten" them, and then turn them back counter-clockwise to remove them. And you can also try to "soak" them in lubricant or solvent (aka WD-40).
Good Luck!
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I'll try what you say.
You're probably correct about the pipes not being cast iron. I thought they are cast iron because they're black in color.
I thought galvanized were gray. Opps.... I learned something. Thanks :)
The largest pipe wrench I have is 18". I'll see if I can add some "leverage".
There's this black looking thread sealer all on the threads, and it (the sealer) is hard as a rock.
I'm thinking of using some acid on it instead of WD-40 ..... :laughing: (just kidding).
Thanks again,
Big Bill
Big Bill. If the pipe is black iron or galvanized steel, the fittings are probably steel or mallable iron. In either case, they won't break by hitting them. A sawzall (if you can fit it in the space) is the best bet and I have never seen the blade get hot enough to ignite oil. You could also spray the blade with water as you cut if it worries you. I hope the black pipe dope isn't the type I have seen used in factories I have worked in. I don't recall the name, but, I have never seen anything hold so well. We used 2 48" pipe wrenches with 10 foot pipes on the wrenches and still could not break a 2" joint loose. Good luck.
Hi majakdragon,
As I said, the pipes are encased in cement, so I don't have to hold back on them, and all the leverage I can fit in there won't move them.
I'm off to the tool rental in a bit, to see if a pipe cutter might fit.
You may be correct about the sawzall being ok to use, but I'm going to try all other options first. I just don't feel comfortable using it on a tank that has oil in it.
It's obvious to me now that some cutting or breaking of the pipes are inevitable.
What would I need to do next, assuming I get the pipes cut?
Do the existing pipes need to be threaded, or is there some type of union (compession, solderless type) that can be installed?
Thanks for the help.
Hi Ron,
No, well ..... I have to install a new vent and fill.
Whatever I cut out, won't be reused.
(I'll try to get/post some pictures if it helps)
Thanks for any help.
A 4 wheel pipe cutter would work the best. Just make sure you get the cut started straight. With this type cutter, you only need to turn it a little over a quarter turn back and forth to cut the pipe. Make sure you get the cut started straight. 4 wheel cutters do not have a roller to help keep the cutter wheels going straight and it is easy to make a crooked cut. Just go slow when starting the cut to make sure the wheels go into the previous wheels cut mark. I don't know of any type coupling except threaded that would work for oil. Just cut new threads and use a good pipe dope compound, such as Rector Seal No.5.
Sometimes hiiting the outside of the joint your working on with a heavy hammer on all sides can cause the fitting to free up enough to get it removed with a pipe wrench.
Hi all,
Thanks for the continuing help.
This is a picture of the fill pipe into the start of the new extension:
(The red arrow is the new floor level).
This is what the tank looks like:
And this is a close up of the pipes:
I have them soaking now, and will try later to hit them.
The 4 wheel cutter sounds good, but I won't have room to turn it on the pipe, with the existing sub floor above them.
Thanks again for all the help,
Big Bill

I added light to your picture hope that was ok by you?
The arrow that you show, is this the spot your trying to take apart. if so you you taking the riser off or the 90 and the riser?
Use a 36" pipe wrench and two people pulling on it, it will come off of there.
Hi Ron,
Thanks for lighting up the pic.... :thumbsup:
The arrow is where the new floor joists are going to be installed. The vent pipe is higher than the sub floor, so that's why it has to be removed.
I'd like to get the 90 off, but anything I can remove below the sub floor will be ok.
We have about 7/8 oil level in the tank, so the other pipes (that will need to be removed) can stay for now.
I was just trying to get it relocated in one shot.
But I need to remove the pipes in the way of the new construction by Monday.
Does the closeup pics help in anyway to see what kind of dope is on the threads?
Is there any "chemical" I can use to "dissolve" that dope?
2 Attachment(s)
Here is lighting for other pictures.
So one pipe is for fill and the other is for vent, and your wanting to relocate these as well?
Yes, one is vent and one is fill, and both have to be relocated.
Some success.... :thumbup:
I was able to remove the 90 and the fill fitting on the outside, there was no dope on those threads....
I should have tried those pipes first.:oops:
So the "rush" to get it done is over.... for now.
It still leaves me with the concern of removing the rest of the :censored: pipes, so I'll keep soaking and hitting them.
Any suggestions, please feel free to post.
Thanks again!!!

From MARC must die!
Due to a flood of spam, account creation on this wiki has been (temporarily?) disabled. If you want to contribute to the wiki, please send an e-mail to:
magnus [ at ] enger [ dot ] priv [ dot ] no.
Apologies to anyone and everyone called Marc. This site is not about you. It's about a bunch of library metadata standards collectively known as MARC. About the name
MARC is dead
- Transforming our Bibliographic Framework: A Statement from the Library of Congress (May 13, 2011)

The goals of this site are four-fold:
- To discuss the objectives of bibliographic metadata in the current environment
- To collect views, links, literature etc on why MARC doesn't meet the requirements of todays need for bibliographic metadata
- To discuss alternatives that might replace MARC
- To encourage activities that undermine MARC
Alternatives to MARC
As Jonathan Rochkind, Bill Dueber and others have pointed out, MARC is not a format or a model, but a crude mixture of ideas. Therefore any serious alternative should not be one silver bullet but a well-choosen set of apropriate tools for each particular task. Possible tools include:
- Semantic Web including Linked Data and RDF
- Ontologies expressed in first-order logic (OWL etc.)
- Data Models
- Any open, standard being publically available and following at least RFC 2119
- ...

This site is hosted by Libriotech. It is provided as a free service to the library community, in the hope that it will generate some momentum away from the MARC standards. Please feel free to add your point of view!
This is a wiki that anyone can edit, after registering. All opinions are the repsonsibilities of their authors. Spam and any other content not relevant to the topic at hand will be removed, and spammers blocked forever.
Why MARC was inadequate
MARC is not one standard, but rather a family of standards, and some related formats:

- MARC dialects
- MARC issues
- AACR2 and RDA might also be relevant.
- MARC stands in the way of innovation

KNOXVILLE - Ole Miss All-America Stephen Head drove in three runs, including the game-winner, as the No. 7-ranked Rebels came from behind to defeat the Tennessee baseball team 6-5 Saturday night at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Volunteers turned a season-high four double plays, but three errors proved costly.
Tennessee (18-6, 3-2 SEC) was solid defensively early on. The Vols turned double plays in each of the first two innings -- both keyed by impressive fielding efforts from senior shortstop Eric King.
The Vols dealt the first blow offensively, putting up a pair of runs in the bottom of the second inning. Junior Chase Headley scored on an RBI single by fellow junior Michael Rivera. Rivera later crossed home plate when Josh Alley reached on catcher's interference.
Tennessee used two RBI basehits and a sacrifice fly to put up three more runs in the third inning and take a 5-0 lead. Junior co-captain Eli Iorg was driven in on an RBI double by Headley, who later came home on a single by senior Alex Suarez. Freshman catcher J.P. Arencibia scored on junior Kelly Edmundson's third sacrifice fly of the year.
Rebels third baseman Chris Coghlan scored to put Ole Miss on the board in the top of the fourth. Coghlan crossed home when Mark Wright ground into a double play.
Ole Miss (18-5, 3-2 SEC) chiseled into UT's lead with a three-run fifth inning. Two Rebels scored on a fielding error, and Head drove in Cooper Osteen with an RBI groundout.
Head later gave Ole Miss the lead for good when he hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning. The blast was Head's eighth of the season.
Tennessee's usual Sunday starter, freshman James Adkins, made his first career Saturday start and lasted five innings. The left-hander was touched for four runs (two earned) on two hits with seven walks and one strikeout. Senior reliever Joey Andrews (1-1) entered the game in the top of the sixth and took the loss after giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits with four strikeouts and a walk.
Vols sophomore Sean Watson pitched the final two innings and tallied two strikeouts and two walks.
Head pulled double duty by pitching the first six innings for the Rebels. The junior got the win and improved to 5-0 after allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Matt Maloney threw innings and got his third save of the year.
The series finale begins Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. The projected starters are sophomore right-hander Craig Cobb (2-0, 2.89 ERA) for Tennessee and junior right-hander Anthony Cupps (4-1, 3.90 ERA) for Ole Miss.

Edit: I've installed each of these from the download links to my phone, before posting the links here, without any issues at all.
Edit 2: If you are experiencing Force Closing it seems to happen randomly, I found this in another mod thread with people having the same issue:
Apply the deodexer before wiping and starting all over......just to battery pulls and restart your phone until you are in CWR and apply the deodexer. Wait for the phone to reboot (about 3-5 minutes). Once it reboots and you are in the OS, go back into CWR and apply the mod again.

Does our new 2017 SMMS Forrester Wave reveal one SMMS to rule them all? Unfortunately not. No one SMMS will meet everyone's needs. But this report does provide a detailed analysis across 32 criteria for 10 vendors that you'll want to include in your SMMS research: Facelift, Hootsuite, Lithium, Oracle, Percolate, Salesforce, Spredfast, Sprinklr, Sprout Social, and Sysomos. Here are a few questions that our evaluation answers.

Last week, nearly 170,000 business and technology professionals descended onto San Francisco for Salesforce's annual conference, Dreamforce. The event itself was ripe with discussions on social responsibility and charity, but most attendees, including myself, attended for other reasons. We wanted Salesforce to pull back the curtains on what it saw for the future of sales.
Once things got underway, Salesforce's Einstein took center stage… quite literally. We'll get to Einstein in just a bit, but not to be overshadowed by Einstein, Salesforce unequivocally made their keynote about sales. 2016 was a landmark year for Salesforce and their commitment to sales. They closed on their acquisitions of SteelBrick and Demandware, and used Dreamforce as the stage to rebrand them as Salesforce CPQ and Commerce Cloud respectively. So what does all this mean? It means that regardless of sales channel, Salesforce is fighting harder than ever to be your selling platform of choice… and they make a pretty compelling case.
Let's take a closer look at the case Salesforce is making. To do so, we must understand Salesforce's pillars of technology supporting sales.

There is a fundamental division at the heart of the digital economy. Digital tools make it possible for any company to build a direct relationship with its customers. At the same time, new digital intermediaries can use the same digital tools to create unprecedented intermediary roles. Torn between two lovers, anyone?
We're in the age of the customer, a period during which end consumers have more access to the basic economic resources that help them make more rational and empowered decisions. The theory of perfect competition dictates that market economies flourish best on a foundation of perfect information that enables perfectly rational actors. The digital technologies we all carry in our pockets — not to mention, have surrounding us in our cars, our homes, and even strapped to our bodies — have initiated a chain reaction, unleashing an unprecedented level of information, which has enabled us — if we choose to accept our mission — to behave like much more rational actors than ever before. (Caveat lector, I didn't say "perfectly rational" for a reason. See our research on how humans make choices to understand more.)
The more those technologies spread, the more buyers and sellers enter the system, the more innovation there is — at lower cost, thanks to the economics of digital disruption – and the spiral feeds itself.

Today Salesforce.com offered a formal update on its Salesforce Wear offering (which I wrote about at its release here). Salesforce Wear is a set of developer tools and reference applications that allows enterprises to create applications for an array of wearable devices and link them to Salesforce1, a cloud based platform that connects customers with apps and devices.
Salesforce's entry into the wearables space has been both bold and well-timed. Salesforce Wear constitutes a first mover in the wearables platform space; while Android Wear offers a platform, it only reaches Android Wear based devices – unlike Salesforce Wear, which operates across a wide array of wearable devices. While it's early to market, it's not too early: Enterprises in a wide array of verticals are leveraging wearables worn by employees or by customers to redesign their processes and customer experiences, as I have written.
With today's announcement, Salesforce:
Posted by JP Gownder on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on June 11, 2014
On June 10, Salesforce.com announced Salesforce Wear, a bundle of free tools and reference applications aimed at evangelizing the power of enterprise wearables. The offering supports six different wearable devices, each with its own open-source reference application to help developers design and build wearable apps that connect to the Salesforce1 platform.
Salesforce Wear has the potential to turbo-charge the growing market for enterprise wearables. Enterprises using Salesforce Wear will gain tools and reference applications that immediately apply to six wearable devices: three smart watches (Pebble, Samsung Gear, and Android Wear), plus Google Glass, the Myo armband, and Bionym's Nymi authentication device.
Some of the reference applications are pure enterprise/B2B workforce enablement applications, like the Google Glass application for oil rigs, which can be generalized to other field service scenarios (and which, conceptually, I have written about before). Salesforce Wear's app facilitates real-time field actions by providing schematics of the equipment being serviced, offering a view into the full service history of the equipment, and connecting field workers to colleagues for real-time collaboration. All in all, the reference app helps field workers fix problems more quickly and effectively.

It's been a couple of weeks since Dreamforce ended, and in between client engagements and research I've had some time to digest the event — so I'd like to share some lessons from Dreamforce 2012:
1. If you build it they will come (no, really)
Setting a record for attendance at a vendor-led technology conference, Dreamforce 2012 was BIG. With over 90,000 attendees, it was hard not to be impressed by the logistical efforts taking place behind the scenes. Think of it ... How do you feed 90,000 people in a couple of hours? Not to mention the enormous bandwidth issues for Wi-Fi and even 4G providers when you put this many social people together. Back when I was running marketing at a tech vendor, I was planning events based on how many square feet of conference space we would we need ... the Salesforce team plans on a scale of how many conference centers will they need. This was an amazingly large event with very few crowd control issues. And the mobile app for the conference made everything much easier, despite occasional Wi-Fi outages. My hat's off to the conference team at Salesforce for pulling this off.
2. Salesforce.com has adopted a business strategy which embraces social business

Author: Plaskett, Jessica A/Monday, July 8, 2013/Categories: News and Press Releases, Current News, Lifelong Learning, President, Business
Waterbury, Conn. – Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced on June 25 that Naugatuck Valley Community College will receive $825,000 towards the purchase of additional manufacturing equipment within its Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center.
The money is part of $7.3 million in bonding, which the commission approved for use by three community college advanced manufacturing certificate programs that started up last fall. NVCC graduated its first cohort of manufacturing students, awarding 113 certificates this spring.
NVCC will use its newly-awarded money to purchase equipment such as a deep draw press and an electrical discharge machine, which is used extensively by manufacturers in Waterbury and Danbury. NVCC will also purchase CNC simulators and a tool-sharpening machine, which will save time and money spent shipping out tools to be sharpened.
Gov. Malloy said he considers the bond money an investment into the economic health of the state by building the workforce that attracts manufacturers to our state.
"Time and again, I hear from manufacturers about their need to have a trained, skilled workforce that can fill some of these in-demand manufacturing positions, many of which are good paying jobs," said Governor Malloy. "To compete, we need to show these manufacturers that our workforce has the skills they need and that we are training our students for the real-world jobs they want to fill."
The success of NVCC's manufacturing program was highlighted during Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary's speech given during his recent appointment as Vice Chair of U.S. Conference of Mayors Advanced Manufacturing Task Force this month. Mayor O'Leary cited the linkage between education, economic development and workforce development. He highlighted NVCC's achievement in building a state-of-the-art manufacturing center that opened last year, and his success in drawing nine new manufacturing firms to Waterbury.
"This Task Force was established to promote and share ideas and innovations among cities across our country in an effort to rebuild and expand manufacturing," Mayor O'Leary said. "It is an opportunity to showcase the good work that we are doing here, and across the nation in cities like Lansing, Michigan and Beaverton, Oregon."
NVCC President Daisy Cocco De Filippis said she is proud NVCC has formed such positive connections with the manufacturing community, and remains grateful for the recognition and support shown to the College over the last year.
"We are delighted to receive funding to support training required by manufacturers in the communities we serve: the present and future employers of our students," NVCC President Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Ph. D., said. "Responding to the Renaissance of manufacturing in Connecticut and supporting efforts on behalf of our workforce is a top priority for NVCC and we are grateful to Gov. Malloy for his leadership and for his support of our Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center."

It's been nearly a year since the Board of Regents for Higher Education launched the Go Back to Get Ahead program, an effort championed by Governor Dannel P. Malloy to give "lapsed" college students the opportunity to get their education back on track and develop a better-educated workforce and more-competitive state economy. Overall, the program, which offered free college courses to in-state residents who have started but not completed a degree, received nearly 9,000 inquiries and enrolled more than 1,400 students in the 17 Connecticut State Colleges and Universities from June 2014 through March 2015.
Naugatuck Valley Community College has announced the expansion of their Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Training Program to the New Milford Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) & Candlewood Valley Health & Rehabilitation Center. The new location of this program is intended to meet the job-training needs of the communities served by NVCC by making it more convenient for residents of the New Milford, Brookfield and Danbury areas to take the course. NVCC Director of Community and Economic Development, Laurie Hornbecker, noted that "this course is essential to meet the training needs of today's health care professionals."
It can be hard to picture yourself inside as the weather starts getting warmer, but taking classes during the summer means less time in the classroom - not more! Summer semesters are more condensed than the regular fall and spring semesters so you can save yourself precious weeks of time by getting those courses done now!
On May 29, 2014 at its 49th commencement, Naugatuck Valley Community College celebrated, for the fifth year in a row, the largest graduating class in the history of the College. The total number of awards conferred is 1,325.

Ageless Say Florida Sandy was honored as the 2001 New York- bred Horse of the Year Tuesday night at the New York Thoroughbred Breeders' annual awards dinner in Albany, N.Y.Named for his breeder, Sanford Bacon, the now 8-year-old son of Personal Flag, also was champion sprinter and and was the co- winner of the older male division with Gander.Bacon, a resident of Boca Raton, Fla., made a fourth trip to the podium to receive Lolli Lucka Lolli's trophy as broodmare of the year. The 17-year mare, the dam of Say Florida Sandy and 1997 Horse of the Year and Dancin' Renee, died in August following a bout with colic. Five of the mare's nine foals made it to the racetrack and four of them were stakes winners.
"This one means more than all the others," Bacon said in emotional acceptance remarks. "She was the best thing that ever happened to me in the racing business."
Raced by Bacon before being lost for $70,000 in a claiming race, Say Florida Sandy was the 2-year-old champion of 1996, the champion sprinter and champion older horse in 1998 and the sprint champion of 2000.Owned by John Rotella and trained by Juan Serey, Say Florida Sandy made 16 starts last year, compiling a record of 6-5-1 and earning $615,420 in purse money. At $1.77 million, he is the leading state-bred career money earner. Say Florida Sandy won the Hollie Hughes for state-breds at Aqueduct in February, the Grade III Bold Ruler at Aqueduct in April, the grade II True North at Belmont Park in June, the Grade III Philadelphia Park Breeders' Cup Handicap in July and the Paterson Handicap at the Meadowlands in September. He was narrowly beaten in the grade I Carter and the grade II Tom Fool.
M. Anthony Ferraro was voted the outstanding trainer, a rare honor for a trainer based at Finger Lakes. Ferraro developed Shesastonecoldfox, bred by Dennis and Deborah Petrisak, into the 2-year-old filly champion. Among Ferraro's five stakes winners was Smokeisabandit, was a finalist for the 2-year-old male award. Ferraro's father, Mike, was the winner of the award the first two years it was presented by the breeders.
Mr. And Mrs. Gerald Nielsen were named the Breeders of the Year. Gerald Nielsen was voted the NYTB president in January.The Nielsens bred the male turf champion, I'm All Yours, owned by Anstu Stables, as well as the runner-up in the 2-year-old male division, Roman Dancer, and the 3-year-old filly runner-up Along Came Mary. I'm All Yours and Roman Dancer, are half-brothers out of the mare Phalanopsis.
Other award winners were: 2-year-old male, White Ibis, bred by William Garbarini and Michael T. Martin; 3-year-old male, Personal Pro, bred by CBF Corporation;; 3-year-old filly and turf female, Ransom's Pride, bred by Chester and Mary Broman; older female, Critical Eye, bred by Herbert T.

The office of being prime minister of the United Kingdom means one is compelled to deal with deaths of fighting men and women in distant places like Afghanistan. Jacqui Janes, whose son Jamie was killed by an explosion in Afghanistan opened her mail to discover a hand-written letter of condolence from the prime minister of the country. According to Ms. Janes, "he couldn't even be bothered to get the family name right. This made me angry. Then I saw he has scribbled out a mistake in Jamie's name. The very least I w would express from Gordon brown is to get his name right. The letter was scrawled so quickly could hardly even read it and some of the words were half-finished. It's just disrespectful."
Gordon Brown is a very busy man. OK, he is not the world's best writer, but he did send a letter. OK, so maybe it had the wrong name, but it did finally get to the right address. Imagine asking politicians to get every minor detail correct! Wow, this woman is a bit prissy.
After all, Ms. Janes, the prime minister did know the name of the country in which your son died. Isn't that worth something?

Virginia's Good Economy Can't Help Republicans
Whoever thinks good economic stewardship is the key to winning elections should take a closer look at this year's two gubernatorial races, where the truth is anything but.
In both Virginia and New Jersey, the Republican Party is trying to hold on to the governor's office. Here's the catch: In New Jersey, Chris Christie will almost certainly win despite bungling the economy; in Virginia, Republicans look set to lose despite a reasonable record on the same front.
Virginia term limits mean its governor, Bob McDonnell, can't run again -- probably a relief to his party, as McDonnell is caught in a scandal over taking money from a local businessman. Running instead is Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a social conservative and Tea Party favorite who made his name nationally by opposing Obamacare.
The latest polls show Cuccinelli is trailing his Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe by 10 points. There are plenty of reasons for that, starting with a federal shutdown that's reminding voters about the drawbacks of the Republican policy agenda.
What makes Cuccinelli's struggling campaign all the more remarkable is the relatively good economic record of the McDonnell administration, as measured by the Bloomberg Economic Evaluation of States, or BEES. That index tracks a state's performance from a range of angles, including the housing market, employment, income, tax revenue and stock prices.
(For those who don't have access to the Bloomberg Terminal, you can see a version of that data here.)
By those measures, Virginia under the current Republican administration has done fairly well. From the time McDonnell became governor in January 2010 through the first half of this year, Virginia's economy placed 35th in the country on the Bloomberg index.
That may not sound great, but remember Virginia was hurt more than most by sequestration, which cut spending for most federal government programs. The only other state with a comparable level of federal workers is Maryland, which did even worse over the same period, rating 40th in the country.
It's hard to hang sequestration on the necks of Virginia Republicans, so a fairer way to look at the success of McDonnell's administration is to track the state's performance from the time he took office through the end of last year, just before the federal cuts took effect.
Here, Virginia comes out 29th overall, ranking near the middle of the pack for personal income, home prices, employment and tax revenue. It's in the best third of states for mortgage delinquencies, but near the bottom of the list for the performance of its publicly listed companies.
McDonnell credits his economic success with using tax credits to draw businesses to the state, along with limited regulation. Cuccinelli has been understandably reluctant to call his candidacy as an extension of McDonnell's term, but his proposals follow the same vein: low taxes, minimal regulation and capped government spending.
Obviously, "29th in the nation" isn't the stuff that campaign slogans are made of. But it beats Virginia's neighbors; over the same period, Maryland ranked 47th and North Carolina 44th. It also beats the state's performance under McDonnell's predecessor, Democrat Tim Kaine, during whose tenure Virginia ranked 34th.
Under normal circumstances, Virginia's modest economic success under a Republican administration would be cause for some partisan boasting. Instead, that success, coupled with McAuliffe's shortcomings, highlights how much damage the party has done to itself, first with McDonnell's implosion and then by choosing a candidate riding an anti-government wave that may be cresting, at least in the parts of Virginia that Republicans need to win.
That could mean Virginia, where McDonnell was once discussed as a presidential candidate for 2016, will still be the precursor of a national trend -- just not in the way Republicans hoped.

BALDWIN — It wasn't getting to the top of the mountain that was so difficult for Reannah Martin. It was realizing she was all alone when she got there.
Nonetheless, the Apollo-Ridge sophomore made the best of a tough situation when she claimed first place Thursday in the Class AA girls' pole vault competition at the WPIAL championships at Baldwin High School.
Martin easily cleared the bar on her first five tries Thursday, beginning at 7 feet, 3 inches and ending at 9-9. And when no other pole vaulter cleared 9-9, Martin walked away the champion.
But her day wasn't done.
The title in hand, Martin kept going. With many more sets of eyes focused on her, Martin made it at 10-0, but then missed three times at 10-3, ending her day to a round of applause.
"It's hard to go up against competition like this," Martin said afterward, "but it's really hard like that when I'm the only one and I'm just going against myself. But it sure did feel good to win."
Because she is a sophomore, Martin was unsure of herself when the day began.
But without missing a single jump until the title was in hand, she asserted herself in a big way.
"I am kind of surprised," she said. "Going into this, I knew the competition was tough, so it was really nerve-wracking. But I got into it and I was OK."
Martin ended up more than OK. She won the WPIAL title, set a personal record and clinched a spot in the PIAA meet May 24-25 at Shippensburg University. She doesn't know what to expect that day, but realizes the climb to the top of the mountain will be much tougher.
"I have no idea what will happen," she said. "There's such good competition there. But I expect to go in there and do my best and we'll see what happens. You never know."
Martin is the only Apollo-Ridge athlete headed to states. In fact, she's only one of two who finished in the top eight in an event Thursday. Arianna Coleman took eighth in the javelin with a toss of 112-10.
Derry sent two athletes to the meet, Andrew Downey (high jump) and Alexis Gademsey (triple jump), but neither earned a medal or advanced to the state meet.

This is an anti-meme, i.e. a goof on meming, that's going to end up becoming a bona fide meme, isn't it?
Not mega-viral (yet), but viral enough for a slow-news-day spread in the Daily Mail:
Tom Morris, 22, who was behind the video said: 'We were just in our kitchen talking about doing it outside Starbucks in Jesmond and thought it would be really funny.
'We did that, uploaded the video to Facebook and got a load of likes. So then we thought "why not just make a video"?'…
Student paper The Tab Newcastle reported that students in Edinburgh, Nottingham and Cirencester are all filming their own versions of Milking Newcastle as the trend spreads across the UK's institutions for higher education.

Six Summer Reads for Classical Music Fans
Summer is prime season for reading. Whether you are headed to the beach or to your backyard, here are six recommendations for new music-related books to bring with you:
1. Moral Fire: Musical Portraits from America's Fin de Siècle by Joseph Horowitz
In Moral Fire: Musical Portraits from America's Fin de Siècle, prominant American music scholar Joseph Horowitz explores the lives of four heroic figures in the history of American classical music: Henry Higginson, who invented and owned the Boston Symphony Orchestra; Laura Langford, who presented Wagner concerts 14 times a week each summer in Coney Island; Henry Krehbiel, proactive "dean" of New York's music critics, and Charles Ives, the iconoclastic composer. Though these individuals played very different roles in contributing to late-19th century American music, Horowitz argues that they all embraced in their own ways the important idea that art can be morally empowering. He further believes that this dynamic era can be a model for today's classical music leaders.
2. Music as Alchemy by Tom Service
Any classical music fan knows who the world's best conductors are, but exactly what do Abbado, Rattle, and Gergiev do on the podium that makes them so extraordinary? Tom Service, the chief classical music critic for The Guardian, delves into the rehearsal rooms of some of the world's greatest music directors to find out, and to dispel the myth of the tyrannical, despotic maestro, in Music as Alchemy.
3. Mozart at the Gateway to His Fortune by Christoph Wolff
Mozart at the Gateway to His Fortune, by Christoph Wolff, offers a new perspective on Mozart's life. It explores the period from 1788-1791, when Mozart served Emperor Joseph II and composed many of his most beloved works, including his three greatest and final symphonies during the summer of 1788. For those whose understanding of Mozart's music is often shadowed by the immediate context of his untimely death, this book may provide a refreshing look at the prosperity and promise that filled these years of his life.
4. The Music between Us: Is Music a Universal Language? by Kathleen Marie Higgins
Joining the many recent publications about the fascinating connections between music and our minds is Kathleen Marie Higgins's The Music between Us: Is Music a Universal Language? Higgins investigates the different ways in which music is used across cultures -- exploring its role in rituals, education, work and healing -- and why music has almost universal appeal to our deepest emotions and experiences. Higgins is a philosophy professor at the University of Texas but her approach encompasses aspects of psychology, musicology, linguistics and anthropology.
5. Music for Silenced Voices by Wendy Lesser
Very few books about Shostakovich have been written for a general audience rather than a purely academic one; Wendy Lesser's Music for Silenced Voices makes for one more. Lesser, an editor of The Threepenny Review, comes to the quartets as a passionate listener rather than as a musician or musicologist. As such, she takes the reader through Shostakovich's intriguingly complex life with a narrative that follows his 15 string quartets in chronological order.
6. When the Fat Lady Sings by David W. Barber
David W. Barber is the author of several bestselling books of humorous musical literature, including Accidentals on Purpose and Bach, Beethoven and the Boys. His 2000 book, When the Fat Lady Sings, looked at the history of opera in a similarly lighthearted way, but one that still leaves the reader informed and enlightened. It has now been re-released in a Kindle format.

We've been talking about finding fish when they're moving up and down or on and off a bank. This time we'll take a closer look at what you're finding — old fish or new fish. It's not impossible, but it isn't easy. There are no black and white rules to go by.
The first thing I look at is size. Smallmouth have a strong tendency to school or group by size. If you start seeing fish that are smaller or larger than the ones you've been catching, it's likely that you're into new fish. It's a rare day when a 2-pounder hangs out with a 3-pounder.
The second thing I look at is color. Fish that have been living at the same depth and around the same kind of structure or cover will all look about the same. Pale fish are almost always deep fish; green fish are almost always grass fish; brown fish are almost always rock and gravel fish. Clear water smallmouth generally have more color than muddy water smallmouth.
After that it's experience and intuition. You hear all the time that there's no substitute for time on the water. Nothing replaces experience in the sport of fishing. Sometimes you can "just tell" that you're on new fish or that you're fishing the same bunch. It isn't anything in particular. It's just something you sense.
I'll tell you that fish aren't the same any more than people are the same. If you see a set of identical twins once in a while, you'll swear they're exactly the same. There's no way to tell them apart.
But, if you're around them all the time, you will soon be able to tell which one's which without ever being wrong. If you doubt what I'm saying, you should ask a mother or an older brother or sister of identical twins. They'll tell you I'm right.
Experience will let you do the same thing with fish. How many times have you heard a professional angler tell you he caught the same fish twice? If you ask him how he knows it was the same fish, he won't be able to give you a concrete reason, but he'll be certain he's right—and he probably is. Learn to see fish as individuals rather than as generic copies of each other.
Pay attention to your surroundings, too. If you move up or down a bank and come across more activity in or out of the water, that might be a clue. Are the baitfish skipping? Are the birds singing? What are the squirrels doing? Is everything dead silent?
Physical things also matter. How close is the channel? Is there more or less grass in the area? What about wood and rock? Is the wind blowing away from the bank or up against it?
Learn to understand what's happening around you. Ask yourself if your fish have moved or if you're over new ones. You won't always get it right, but over time you'll get better at it. And at some point you'll realize you're right more often than you're wrong.

Your best bet may be to have LOSOK or another company build you an entry level .243 on a Savage/Stevens action, you would end up with a fine shooter at an affordable cost, that will be an excellent shooter at not much more than a stock LE model rifle.
Run the numbers, you will be surprised.
Bell and Carlson has a new replacement stock for the Savage Short Actions, it is the varmint/target/tactical Medalist model for the 10, 11, 12 series rifles.
It a nice looking stock that you won't have to wait 5 month to get.
Just my 2 cents

Quote:I personally do not think that the Chang Hon TKD Tuls should be altered. They have been diluted and obscured enough as it is. Quite a few stances / postures and movements can be seen not only in Shotokan Patterns, but also in many KungFu styles, including Wing Chun. Also what are taught as blocks are in fact strikes or breaks.
Quote:I think the problem with Tuls lie in our perception of what a Tul really is.We look at the whole as if we were being attacked in a poorly choreographed Martial Arts movie. This makes us feel that what we are performing are not only outdated, but in most cases almost suicidal movement sequences.Treat each Tul as a phrase book. Look at the movements in short sequences.Think about the blocks/punches in relation to the stance that there are in and the stance that they came from. Look at other traditional styles and how they do their patterns. Ask them for their movement explanations. There is so much you can learn from these Tuls, if you dont throw them away.We used to have a guy called Sonjin (I think). He had a great approach to Tuls.
Quote:I don't know the tuls, are they ITF?
Quote:We look at the whole as if we were being attacked in a poorly choreographed Martial Arts movie.
Quote:What I was really refering to is the way modern tkd fights in relation to how the forms say it should be done. New forms could make use of the highly functional upright side on fighting stances greater use of kicks and boxing style hand work that has become more prevalent, as opposed to heavy use of deep stances which retard kicking and general movement (two of the most important parts of tkd as I was taught it) and old style heavy hand work (reverse punches, chopping attacks etc).

Women Satin Size
Figure Flattering Plus Size Wedding Dresses by Bridal12
Most bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses are designed from a size 8 sample and then graded to larger sizes. This results in dresses that don't do justice to the fuller figure. The farther away from the size 8 the more the proportions of the design are stretched. In some cases the style in a size 20 doesn't look at all like the same style in a size 8.
The ideal solution for full figured women is for manufacturers to use a larger dress size such as an 18 as the sample model and then adjust the dress upward or downward.
Most bridal shops have wedding dresses in sizes 8 and 10 and that's it. Wedding dresses are expensive to make and having one in every size in stock isn't feasible. The idea is to try on the dress and imagine what it would look like in the correct size. That works if you're a size 12 trying on a size 8 or a size 4 trying on a size 10.
That small size won't give a full figured women any idea of what the dress will look like on her. If possible find a bridal shop that has dresses to try on in a range of larger sizes. Trying on a size 18 dress when you're a 22 will at least give you some idea of how the dress will look, even if you can't zip it up the back.
Be Realistic
If you've always been a size 16 the odds are you will still be a size 16 on your wedding day. Order the dress that fits you now not the size you hope you will be. It's fine to decide to lose weight for the wedding, especially if you have three or four months to prepare, but don't count on it. Most bridal gowns have to be ordered at least three to four months in advance. It's much easier and cheaper to take in a dress than to let out the seams because the dress is too small. In some cases because of embroidery and beadwork it's not even possible to let out a seam.
Be Comfortable
The average wedding, from leaving for the ceremony to the end of the reception, lasts about five hours. If the dress has a waistline that's too tight you'll be uncomfortable before the dancing even starts. Sitting in the dress requires ample room in the hips. Arm holes that are too tight lead to chafing. A strapless bodice that is too small can lead to cleavage you may not want seen. Move around in the dress. Sit down. Raise your arms. You'll know if the dress works as you move.
Accentuate the Positive
Everyone has a positive feature. Take a good look in the mirror and figure out what yours is. Or ask a good friend. If your neckline or face is your best, accentuate with embroidery around the neckline. If you have lovely shoulders choose a halter style to show them off. Most wedding gowns are floor length and cover the legs. If your legs are your best feature, choose a trumpet or flare style that is shorter in the front, showing off your legs, and longer in the back.
Complement your Body Shape
Understanding your body shape is perhaps one of the most important elements of finding the best dress â regardless of your size. Here are some helpful guidelines for the most common body shapes.
Classic movie star figure, think Marilyn Monroe type curves. The bust/shoulders are about the same as the hips with a definitive waistline. This figure looks stunning in a ball gown with full skirt. Play up the waist line with an embroidered sash.
The bust/shoulders are narrower than hip line. An empire style gathered under the bust accentuates the narrowest part of the body while downplaying the fuller hips. Add fullness to the bust with ruching or a halter neckline. Keep embellishments on the top to call attention away from the bottom half. A lovely style for this figure might be a satin tank top with a ruched V neck and beaded embroidery at the empire waistline.
Inverted Triangle
The opposite of the triangle, the bust and shoulders are wider than the hips. Draped styles work well to minimize the bust. A ball gown, ruffles on the skirt, or lace inserts draw the eye away from the heavier top to the leaner lower half. Try an A line side draped strapless gown with beaded lace detail on the bodice and skirt.
Bust, waistline, and hips are about equal. The trick here is to minimize the middle and create a waist. Sash the waist and add a bit of fullness to the top with ruffles or ruching details. A split front dress emphasizes the waist line. Embroidery on the neckline calls attention to it.
Every bride is beautiful on her wedding day. Make sure your wedding gown fits well, shows off your figure, and is comfortable.

There are 21 comments on the WLOX-TV Biloxi story from Oct 6, 2012, titled Romney vows US renewal; Obama has big money month. In it, WLOX-TV Biloxi reports that:
Opening the campaign's last month, Mitt Romney ticked off indicators of economic misery Saturday night to suggest that a drop in unemployment hasn't reversed what ails the nation.

HUSSEIN Obama has the ghetto crowd and the illegal Mexicans on his side
These groups do not care what happens to this country.
They are basically illiterate and oblivious of HUSSEIN'S ominous deeds.
All they care about is not having to work for a living and fleecing the tax payers.
On HUSSEIN'S side are also his fellow muslims,
most of whom are also on welfare.
Only God knows how many of them are hard-core terrorists.
They have two incentives for voting for HUSSEIN:
1- fleecing the tax payers
2- to help muslimize this country.
By the way, illegal Mexicans and muslims are responsible for over 3,500 homicides of U.S. citizens EVERY year.
1- When you think of 9/11, think of muslims.
2- When you think of muslims, think of 9/11.
3- When you think of Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, think of 1 & 2.

The American people love Mitt Romney more as they The American people love Mitt Romney more as they know him as a great brilliant American leader who will defeat Obama and save America from falling over the cliff under Obama foreign anti-American agenda. Obviously, it is not about how much money Obama can collect from the interest groups including Mozlem Brother terrorists from Gaza, Mozlem Brothers in Libya and Tunisia, illegal invaders that cross the borders or over stay their visas to get free food stamps and free cell phones from Obama in return for their votes. The American people know better than supporting the naked Emperor Obama who showed that he his clueless about what is happening in America and who has no plan for restoring America to what it should be cannot be purchased like in communistic regimes. Obama will be defeated with all the money that he gets from foreign anti-American hostile groups that hate America and seek its demise from within the White House.

I don't think Obama has anybody on his side after Benghazi. Except maybe the terrorists he let get away by saying they didn't do it. I venture to say that Obama's contributions for the month of October will be less than half of September's. Benghazi is a blockbuster and a game changer.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Gorillaz debuted in late 2000 with the Tomorrow Comes Today EP, which they followed early the next year with the popular Clint Eastwood single. A self-titled full-length debut album arrived in spring 2001. Gorillaz was a massive worldwide success and achieved platinum-level sales in the U.S.; worldwide, it sold over seven million copies. The group's Svengalis were quick to capitalize, and released the B-sides collection G-Sides, the Phase One: Celebrity Takedown DVD, and the dub-inspired remix album Laika Come Home in 2002. The project soon went on hiatus, however, as Albarn resumed work with Blur for their seventh album, 2003's Think Tank.
When he was ready to begin the next Gorillaz album, Albarn turned to Danger Mouse (the DJ behind The Grey Album, the infamous mash-up of the Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album) and a host of other collaborators, including De La Soul, Shaun Ryder, Debbie Harry, Dennis Hopper, and Martina Topley-Bird. Although Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Nakamura did not return, 2-D, Russel, Murdoc, and Noodle were all present and accounted for on Demon Days, another Top Ten hit, which arrived in spring 2005. The album went double platinum in America and enjoyed even more success in the U.K.; it also received a host of Grammy nominations, a sign that the band had secured critical as well as commercial approval.
Gorillaz broke ground for a new album in 2007, but the project wasn't released until 2010, when Plastic Beach marked the band's third studio effort. Greeted to generally positive reviews, Plastic Beach received more attention for its tour, as ex-Clash members Paul Simonon and Mick Jones were both part of Gorillaz. During that tour, Albarn recorded a new Gorillaz album called The Fall on his iPad. Initially digitally released to fan club members on Christmas Day 2010, the album saw a wide official release in the spring of 2011. Unlike previous efforts that featured a vast array of guest artists, The Fall only featured four guest collaborations, three of whom (Bobby Womack, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon) had appeared on Gorillaz tracks before.
Aside from the best-of compilation The Singles Collection 2001–2011, which was issued in November 2011, the following five years saw a period of inactivity in the Gorillaz camp, with rumors materializing about an apparent fallout between Albarn and Hewlett. However, these rumors were put to bed in early 2015 when Hewlett posted new illustrations of the virtual members online. Later that year, Albarn confirmed that a new record was indeed in the works. The following year passed and the first track to promote the record, the politically charged "Hallelujah Money" (featuring English musician and poet Benjamin Clementine), dropped in January 2017. The full-length effort, entitled Humanz, arrived in April 2017. Alongside Clementine, it featured appearances from Vince Staples, Popcaan, Danny Brown, Mavis Staples, Grace Jones, Jehnny Beth (Savages), and Albarn's onetime rival Noel Gallagher. ~ Heather Phares & Rob Wacey
