Crockpot BBQ
Despite my unusual love of BBQ (I'm not much on meat), I've never been able to conquer the flavor on my own, and I've tried over grills, slow roasted in ovens, but who knew-the crockpot was the key!
Awhile back, the Dallas Morning News ran a recipe for slow-cooker Barbeque Beef.
This is really easy, and really delicious. I added some smokey BBQ to my sandwich, and it was pretty darn close to restaurant good!
3 1/2 lb eye-of-round roast cut in half length wise
2 t. salt
2 garlic cloves, pressed
10 oz can condensed beef broth
1 c. ketchup
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. lemon juice
3 T. steak sauce
1 t. coarse ground pepper
1 t. Worcestershire
12 onion rolls
dill pickles
Instructions: Sprinkle beef with 1/2 of salt. Stir together all ingredients. Pour half of the mix in the pot, add the beef, and cover the rest of the meat with the sauce. Cook on high for 7 hours. (I put this together the night before, and threw it on in the morning so it was ready at dinner).

New Catholic Dictionary – Saint John of the Cross
Doctor of mystic theology, founder with Saint Teresa of the Discalced Carmelites, born Hontiveros, Spain, 1542; died Andalusia, 1591. He entered the Carmelite Order at Medina, 1563, and was ordained in 1567. Saint Teresa persuaded him to remain in the order and assist her in establishing a monastery of friars, carrying out the primitive rule. He was made first master of novices, and was called to Avila by Saint Teresa to serve as director and confessor in the convent of which she was the superioress. Refusing to obey the order of his provincial to return to Medina, he was imprisoned at Toledo for nine months. After his escape he became vicar-general of Andalusia. He strove for papal recognition of the order, and as a result suffered indignities under his displeased superior. His mystic writings include "" and "." Canonized, 1726. Relics at Segovia. Feast, Roman Calendar, 24 November.

I like the ADU guns in the Alien Conquest sets, but they need some work to be really amazing. I'm using the ADU minis as the Akkan Dosh Unity, a group of fanatics who are ideologically bound to the idea of galactic unity as the panacea to all the things that they dislike (they especially hate non-standard minifigs, such as the various aliens, technic giants, and the like). They claim universal authority because of their so-called "higher ideals" that they serve, and reject any attempts to unite people except under their aegis. Naturally this makes them hostile to just about every other faction in the Brikverse. Their front line troops wear ADU-blue armored vacuum suits, while their support corps generally wear white.
I whipped up a little story showing how I like to change up the guns. I've only got three blue ADU troops and one white, but they'll have to do for now. I don't know if I'll expand them later.

SALEM, Ore. - Two combat veterans told state senators on Wednesday how marijuana has helped them cope with post-traumatic stress disorder and at times helped calmed one soldier's violent urges.
Jared Townsend, an Iraq war veteran, told senators that five of his military friends committed suicide after being prescribed drugs from the VA to treat PTSD. He thought marijuana would be a safer alternative.
"Ultimately I believe that's why I've been able to be a productive member again of society," he said. "I couldn't have done any of this without medical marijuana."
Members of the Senate Committee on Judiciary are considering a bill that would allow Oregonians to legally obtain medical marijuana to treat PTSD. Currently the disorder is not on the list of ailments doctors can prescribe marijuana to treat.
A second Iraq veteran also testified at the hearing, although he later told KATU he did not want his name published because he feared the testimony might adversely affect his job.
He explained how after coming back from war he had a short temper, going so far as to rear-end a car and get in an altercation at a grocery store.
He said once started using medical marijuana, which he first obtained to treat a bad back, his mood leveled out. He said it helped him think before reacting.
State Senator Betsy Close testified that she is against expanding the medical marijuana program.
Close told a story about watching a college-educated family member ruin his life away by smoking too much pot.
"Marijuana does damage the body and especially the brain," she said while citing a 1979 study about the dangerous effects of marijuana.
"All drugs have side effects. This drug has documented brain damage and sex damage," Close added.
State Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson submitted a letter to the committee urging senators to consider how marijuana will be kept away from minors, schools and parks.
"The effects of marijuana on the nervous system and development of our children, youth and young adults should be ever conscious on our minds," she wrote.
The judiciary committee will hold a work session next Wednesday to further discuss the bill. It has already been passed by the Senate Committee on Health Care and Human Services.
The bill is Senate Bill 281.

Vulgar Statistics: The Viability Of A Seattle NHL Franchise
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the current Sacramento Kings (NBA) owners, the Maloofs, have sold 65% of the Kings to the Chris Hansen led Seattle ownership group for $525 million with the intent of moving the team to Seattle. Many see this (after the approval and construction of the new downtown arena) as the next step in eventually getting an NHL team in Seattle. And because the price tag was so high (and to add to that, the arena proposal is roughly $400 million), the opinion is that Seattle will need an NHL team to make the arena, and the deal worth it. According to James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail, the league really likes Seattle as a market, even though it's a poor market for hockey. Huh?
I asked him where he was coming from because it sounded like he was talking out of his a**. It turns out he was basing his opinion on having lived near Seattle (fair enough), and on USA Hockey's latest state-by-state participation numbers. He said that Washington State was 25th, right ahead of North Carolina, and that Raleigh is a good comparable in terms of support. As you can see in the link, most of those things are not actually true.
Washington state is 18th in total participants, and 27th in per capita hockey participation. (North Carolina is 21st and 33rd respectively.) Not that this is a good basis anyway as Washington's population is concentrated in the Seattle-Tacoma area. It's a little like using Rochester when calculating New York Rangers fan support. In any event, the Greater Seattle Hockey League has long been known as the largest recreational adult hockey league in the Northwest, and one of the largest in the country.
Seattle is the 22nd largest city in the United States, right behind Boston. (Raleigh is 42nd.) That doesn't even take into account nearby Bellevue, Redmond, or Sammamish which add around 230,000 people between the three of them. One of the knocks on a hockey team in Seattle is that the team would be the city's 6th pro sports team behind the Seahawks (NFL), Mariners (NBA), Sounders (MLS), Storm (WNBA), and (presumably) Sonics (NBA). While the city is indeed crazy about its Hawks, Sounders, and Basketball, the Storm and (especially) the (pathetic, cheap, somewhat hated) Mariners aren't major competitors.
Consider the Seattle Thunderbirds, and the Everett Silvertips of the WHL. They play in Kent and Everett, about 30-60 minutes from the city depending on where you're coming from. Despite competition from the aforementioned teams, and somewhat difficult to access arenas, the 8th place (in their division) Silvertips and 9th place Thunderbirds finished 8th and 12th out of 22 teams in attendance. I know the northwest is often ignored, but these people show up. They draw 60,000+ for regular season soccer games. Getting close to 20,000 people to go to a hockey game in a stadium in the middle of downtown Seattle is not out of the question.
Of course attendance is only part of the equation, and with so many other teams, will anyone have anything left for hockey merchandise? If the median household incomes of Redmond (~$70,000), Bellevue (~$80,000), and Sammamish (~$120,000) don't answer that question, consider this: Seattle's median household income is $45,736 which would put it 6th among American NHL cities and 12th among all NHL cities. Of those U.S. cities (Anaheim, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Washington D.C.) one (San Jose) has always drawn well, another two (Los Angeles and Washington D.C.) currently draw well, and the remaining two have drawn well with good teams. It's also worth nothing that in terms of value, the Kings are ranked 10th, the Stars 11th, the Capitals 12th, the Sharks 16th, and the Ducks 19th by Forbes. All of them also compete with other professional sports franchises. San Jose, with it's similar tech-driven wealth and high profile companies, might actually be the best comparison to Seattle, and hockey has flourished there.

Hi - I have recently installed xampplite on a flash drive, to transport between work and home, and everything was running fine for about 3 days now until this morning when I now get this message. Is there anyway I can salvage from this or am I tanked?
I now receive a "httpd.exe - no disk" error:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk5\DR5"
Can anyone explain this to me and let me know how to proceed?
Thanks a lot if you can.

There've been a lot of rumors lately about how Jony Ive, now in charge of all human interface across Apple, may be reducing or eliminating the use of heavier textures, gradients, skeuomorphs, and other rich visual elements in iOS 7. Everything from buttons to icons, tabs to panels, bars to skins seems ripe for a subtler, flatter, more digitally authentic refresh. But what does that mean exactly?
For some, "flatter" could just mean taking things down a notch -- less severe gradients, lighter shadows, shallower bezels, fainter textures, and an overall refinement of what's already there. For others, "flatter" means scorched earth -- no gradients, no shadows, no bezels, no textures, and an utter obliteration of all that was.
Truth is often in the eye of the beholder, and somewhere in between the extremes. But it does prompt the question: how flat would you like to see iOS 7? Vote in the poll up top and let me know the details, and the reasons for them, in the comments below!

Getting a student visa takes about 3 to 5 days, and valid from the day it is stamped in your passport. You have no reason to worry at this stage.
I don't know the details, but I've heard it's possible to switch schools WHILE YOU ARE on an F-1 or J-1 visa. What you may be able to do is apply for a visa for your second-choice school, then convert it to a visa for your first-choice school in case you are accepted off the waitlist.I don't know whether this would in fact be faster or not, but it may be worth investigating.

Commercial-music licensing is a booming business, as advertisers, filmmakers, TV producers and others use pop songs to gloss their products.
Recent ad spots include Texas blues star Gary Clark Jr.'s soulful number "Next Door Neighbor Blues" as the soundtrack to a recent J.C. Penney Co. swimwear ad, British folk singer Jake Bugg's "Lightning Bolt" selling Gatorade, and Seattle's breakout hip-hop team Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" hawking Microsoft Corp.
But licensing pop songs can be quite costly. So an increasing number of ad agencies are looking for original compositions for their commercials.
That has meant songwriting jobs for Los Angeles musicians and composers who are writing jingles while waiting for fate to turn them into rock stars.

A variety of end products including jet fuel, gasoline, carbon anodes and heating oil may be possible using existing refineries and combinations of coal and refinery by-products, according to a team of Penn State researchers.
"One idea is based on the coal-to-jet fuel work that we have been doing for a long time," says Caroline E. Burgess Clifford, research associate at Penn State's Energy Institute. "Our aim is to integrate the processes and products into existing refinery structures and streams."
The coal-to-jet fuel work is in the pilot plant stage, but along with the jet fuel, the process produces other hydrocarbon products. For every eight barrels of a Jet A equivalent, the process produces a half barrel of fuel oil, one barrel of diesel and a half barrel of gasoline.
"We need to be sure that these components fit into the refinery stream that they are close enough in composition to be mixed with the components coming from crude oil," says Clifford.
So far, the researchers, including Harold Schobert, professor of fuel sciences; Maria M. Escallon and Utaiporn Suryapraphadilok, graduate students; Gareth D. Mitchell, Omer Gul, Josefa M. Griffith and Parvana Gafarova, research associates, Energy Institute, characterize the gasoline and fuel oil as fitting within the standard crude oil refinery stream. The diesel fuel is different from standard diesel fuel.
Other participants in this project tested the products in real units, including Andre Boehman, professor of fuel science and his group who tested the gasoline and diesel in engines; Bruce Miller, senior research associate and his group who tested the fuel oil in a pilot scale boiler; and Chunshan Song, director of the Energy Institute and professor of fuel science and his group who did related catalyst research.
"The produced diesel can be blended with the petroleum diesel without changing the fuel properties significantly," says Clifford. "It has not been shown to be bad or have bad effects, it is just different. We are also examining the produced jet fuel to see if it could be used as a diesel fuel, as the jet fuel has undergone extensively more processing than the other products."
The pilot plant demonstration process uses coal tar and refinery solvent blended, cleaned and treated to produce the various fractions. In another process aimed at producing jet fuel, they mix raw, clean coal with decant oil - the liquid found at the bottom after catalytic cracking - and then co-coke. Fuel-grade coke, which is a standard fuel in the steel industry, sells for about $20 a ton. This co-coking process aims to produce coke or carbon of much higher quality usable in manufacturing carbon anodes for a variety of uses. The coke used in these anodes is a much higher value than fuel coke.
"So far the process has produced really good carbon, but it contains too many residual minerals for anode use," says Clifford. "The liquid component does include jet fuel, but the liquid products are very heavy in fuel oil." The researchers report at the American Chemical Society meeting today (Aug. 20), in Boston that future work will strive to reduce impurities in the solid carbon product. Researchers will also investigate either fractionating the fuel oil component or improving the liquid yield.
Another approach to achieving liquid fuels from coal is to extract the liquids from coal using refinery liquid. This method uses light cycle oil to extract the liquid components of coal and then the liquid portion, without separation, travels on through the refinery hydrotreater. In initial bench testing, this method produced a 50 percent yield of liquids. When processed in a multistage reactor, 70 percent extraction took place. The researchers are continuing this work to reduce the amount of light cycle oil necessary, develop a method to separate liquids and solids, and scale up the process.
The U.S. Department of Energy funded the jet fuel research.

I've managed to shred another one. Within 2 and a half years this will be my third BB I've gone through. I'm kinda looking for a little advice on what I can do so I don't have to put in a new BB every damn year. I, myself, am a big guy. This is what I attributed it to at first, but I've been told that has got nothing to do with it. What I was told was that leg power and mashing up hill in top gears is what will do them in. I have got some strong legs, thanks to the hills of B-more, and I kind of enjoy mashing up hills.
So, I guess what I'm asking is if one: Does my weight have something to do with it?
Two: If weight has nothing to do with it, then is there a BB out there that will allow me not to have to change my riding style?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks all. 🙂

The Mazda 929 is a sleek-looking premium luxury sedan that the brand first introduced in 1987. The first generation of the Mazda 929 was produced until 1990, and the second generation of the 929 saw only two years of production. Then in 1992, the full-size executive sedan received a complete redesign. The third and final generation of the Mazda 929 ran from 1992 until Mazda ultimately chose to shutter the model line in 1995. The Mazda Millenia then replaced the 929 as the automaker's flagship sedan.
The Mazda 929 is a sleek looking full-size executive sedan that Mazda produced for nearly a decade before discontinuing it in the mid-1990s. Mazda chose to deck out the flagship model 929 with many state-of-the-art features and amenities. While drivers appreciate the Mazda 929 for its quiet cabin, able handling, and acute braking ability, a number of criticisms confront the model—namely its poor traction in wet weather, its relative lack of passenger and cargo space, and the awkward driving position its driver seat facilitates. Despite these negatives, the 929 sold well for a number of years before ultimately being phased out of Mazda's vehicle lineup in 1995.
Mazda chose to discontinue the 929 following the 1995 model year. The model received a complete redesign in 1992, and there were few fundamental changes introduced in its final three years of production. While earlier models of the luxury sedan have a boxy style, models produced between 1992 and 1995 flaunt a sleeker, more rounded body design and the wheelbase measures 5.5 inches longer. Yet despite being wider and nearly as long as previous years' models, trunk space decreases in the 929's final years. In its final year of production, Mazda introduced only a few changes to the model. These included the introduction of leather seats, genuine wooden interior trim, and a remote keyless entry system.
The 1995 Mazda 929 contains a 24-valve, twin-cam, 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces 193 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. The car's sole transmission option is a four-speed automatic that comes equipped with overdrive. In terms of fuel economy, the 1995 Mazda 929 earns a respectable EPA estimated rating of 19/24 mpg city/highway. A four-door sedan, the 1995 929 comes in a single model that includes a substantial array of luxury features such as leather interior, automatic climate control, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power seats, power locks, power windows, a moonroof, and power mirrors.
The standard stereo system for the 1995 Mazda 929 is a six-speaker AM/FM radio that features steering wheel mounted controls. An additional option for a Solar Ventilation System utilizes solar powered ventilation fans to regulate the car's temperature when it's parked on hot days.
Reviews indicate that the 1995 Mazda 929 is a fairly balanced vehicle that offers equal parts performance, style, and reliability. Standard safety features for the 1995 Mazda 929 include driver and passenger side airbags and ABS brakes.
Mazda produced the 929 for almost a decade, and during its run of production the Japanese automaker introduced several changes to the model. 1990 saw the introduction of a new sport version known as the 929 S. The 929 S features performance extras that include more engine power, an upgraded suspension, and standard ABS. The S also boasts several stylistic additions including a new grille, new bumpers, and lower body-side molding. All 929s manufactured in 1990 have two-tone paint jobs.
1991 saw the introduction of lace alloy wheels to all models of the Mazda 929. In 1992, the 929 underwent a complete redesign. As a result of that redesign, dual airbags and anti-lock brakes come standard on the model.
In 1993, a glass moonroof replaced the steel one found on previous models. The 929 also earned alloy wheels that year. New available options introduced for 1993 include optional wood trim and power passenger seats.
1994 929 models come in a single, well-equipped trim level. Features on this model include a console cup holder and height-adjustable seat belts. While the model only comes in one trim level, Mazda offers the Cold Package that features limited-slip differentials, and the Premium Package with remote keyless entry. Revised alloy wheels come standard on all 1994 models.

LOCKNEY – Karmicheal Ramos has been shopping with his parents before, but he'll likely think differently about the process in future trips, thanks to a recent activity with the Students in Free Enterprise team at Wayland Baptist University.
SIFE students led Ramos and his fellow Lockney Elementary fifth graders in the basic lessons of entrepreneurship recently, culminating in an economics fair held Friday, April 7 in the school gym.
During the event, all 42 fifth-grade students set up booths to sell their products or services developed as part of the exercise to learn more about the economics process. Food items, clothing items, jewelry and other items dotted the tables as students tried to walk away with the most profit from the fair. Approximately 250 people came through the fair, including many parents and students from Lockney High School.
The fair was the hands-on end to a gathering held a few weeks earlier in which the economics lessons were introduced.
"We piled all the students into one big classroom and taught them the basic concepts of entrepreneurship, the difference between selling products and services, profit and loss, marketing and advertising, supply costs and how people come up with ideas of products to sell," explained Stephanie Clements, SIFE president at Wayland and a junior business major.
At the close, students were assigned the task of developing something to sell at the fair and come up with a way to market their product or service.
"He had a hard time deciding what to make," said Priscilla Ramos, Karmichael's mother. "We already had beads, so he decided to make keychains and just had to buy the rings."
Mrs. Ramos said she was impressed with the lessons her son learned and how he handled the assignment.
"He wanted to be responsible and do it all without any help. Most of all, he had to learn that he was responsible for making the money, and he had to be good about selling his things," she said. "He had to really think about how much stuff costs and how to budget for a business."
Those kind of lessons are what Clements and her fellow SIFE team members are hoping for, and the reason they conduct the economics fair annually. The group hopes to expand into the Plainview ISD and Hale Center ISD next year with the same lessons. Since the lessons cover some of the TEKS essentials for fifth grade, the economics fair is also a helpful reinforcement for important skills.
Clements said the exercise works wonders to really open the students' eyes up to the realities of business and enterprise.
"I think they get a better understanding of how supply and demand works, figuring out what sells well and what doesn't," she said. "It's a hands-on experience, and sometimes unless they actually get to do it on their own they don't grasp the concept."
The SIFE team plans to revisit the Lockney school next week and give a post-test to determine what the students learned from the fair experience. They also plan to give out prizes to the top three "businesses" based on profits earned.
Students in Free Enterprise is a national organization of students promoting business, ethics, entrepreneurship, financial health and other important skills. Wayland's SIFE team completes several projects annually aimed at promoting these skills to fellow WBU students and the community at large.

The mammalogy collection consists of about 22,600 catalogued specimens (approximately 21,500 skeletal specimens, 13,500 associated skins, and 1700 wet-preserved specimens). Among these are 180 holotypes. According to a survey published in 1987 by the American Society of Mammalogists the collection ranks 23rd in number of specimens and 6th in number of holotypes among mammal collections in North America.
The taxonomic and geographic scope of the collection is exceptional, especially considering its relatively small size. Taxonomic strengths include carnivores, bovids, and primates. The geographic distribution of specimen localities generally reflect the major collecting expeditions. The collections from Tibet, Central America and Indonesia are particularly unique and scientifically valuable. Specimens from across the U.S. are well represented, particularly the New Jersey / Pennsylvania / Delaware area. Many North American taxa, especially large carnivores, are from localities where those animals no longer occur.
Researchers interested in the collection should consult the loan policy and loan agreement page.

|Hobbies and Interests
Hobbies and Interests on Resume
You may not know what employer will see in your resume. Every section in CV is important and special attention must be given to each section of the resume. Hobbies and interest section on resume is one such important section. Employer will generally ask you at least one question about this section while going through your CV at the time of personal interview. This section is however optional in resume but including it will not harm the quality of your CV if the details are relevant to your applied job profile. Here we discuss the importance of listing hobbies and interests in your CV.
Significance of Hobbies and Interest in Resume :
This section in CV is important for the recent graduates and those applying for the first job. This section is present at the end of the CV. If the employer has already been unimpressed by the above details, he will surely not change his mind by going through your impressive hobbies and interests. But this does not mean that this section is not important. Using the job specific interests and action words can persuade the employer to change his mind.
The main goal of this section is to provide broader view to the employer. When you are listing your hobbies no need to list each and every hobby or interest. Mention only those which are related to your applied job position.
Your interest will show how efficient you can be. Person can always perform well in the job if the work profile is similar to his/her field of interest. Employers understand this thing and they will prefer the candidates with hobbies and interests matching the work profile of the applied job.
Interests in the resume should say positive things about you. They can also act as a proof of your transferable skills. For example, if your interest says that you like to manage a group of people, it will display your leadership quality and show that you are a good team player and hard-worker.
Hobbies and Interests to List in your Resume :
|Interests and Hobbies
Be honest while including hobbies and interests in your CV. You will definitely not get noticed if you write the hobbies like eating, playing, sleeping, etc. You need to include some unique hobbies that are generally not found in every resume. Try to include the ones that can relate to your job profile. For example, you can include the hobbies like meeting new people, computing, gathering knowledge from internet, etc. Computer skills are necessary for almost every job. These hobbies will show that you are proficient in using computer and collecting the information. Also, it will show that you are a good communicator as you like to meet new people and setup new relations.
Examples :
When writing hobbies and interests in your CV, you can specify them instead of just mentioning as reading or writing. Following is an example of this section in a resume.
Example –
- Reading – Like to read books on fiction. Read the books like ……., …….., ………, etc. Favorite authors are ……., …….., ………
- Writing – Like to write short stories and poems. Have a personal blog which is updated regularly
Although this part is optional, it will surely add to your resume quality if the interests listed match your job requirements (see BestSampleResume.com). With little research, you will know the requirements of particular job and you can match your interests and hobbies to your applied job profile.

1986 Ford SuperCab Ranger - Crossing OverPosted in Features on May 1, 2010
If you've perused our desert racing coverage over the past few years, you've seen Steve Herrera a time or two. Steve first appeared on Off-Road's radar when he bought Danny Guernsey's '69 Ford F-100 and raced it in MDR's 1450 Prerunner Class. The F-100 carried a full factory frame and was built within the Class 8 rules, but Steve wanted to be in the thick of competition and not in a class all by himself. Instead of lining up against one or two other Class 8 entries, Steve was mixing it up with ten or more Prerunner Class trucks every time out.
The F-100 proved a potent weapon, a testament to Danny's fabrication skills and Steve's driving skills. Danny, of course, is the "D" of C&D Fabworks. Steve and the F-100 took the overall win during one of their MDR conquests, something normally reserved for Class One unlimited buggies and the occasional Trophy Truck that shows up at MDR.
You're not looking at a re-skinned F-100 here. You're looking at a new build by C&D Fabworks. The original plan for this Ranger was to have a mild prerunner to go along with the '69 F-100. As soon as he experienced the Ranger's capability and handling in mild prerunner form, Steve decided that the Ranger would make a good race truck. There were additional factors. The first was its lack of nostalgia. Steve explained his train of thought: "If I rolled the '69, it would be done. It's hard to get some of the body parts we'd need to fix it after a major rollover. We've been looking for a new grille for a long time and it's been impossible to find. The '69 is just cool. I'd be bummed if it were damaged. On the other hand, I'm not in love with the Ranger at all. It's a race machine and that's it. There's no sentimental value." The second factor was a desire to make racing more challenging. As first built, this Ranger used a full-length frame and a leaf spring rear suspension. It wasn't as fast or as smooth as the F-100. But with the leaf-sprung Ranger, Steve had more peers to race against. Wins didn't come as easily, and that was just what he was after.
The leaf spring-based rear suspension proved a maintenance and performance challenge. "The leaf springs would be done after every race. The main leaf would break, or the eyes would bend open," Steve related. "The performance was very good for leaf springs, but leaf springs are at a disadvantage compared to links. The only way a leaf-sprung truck will beat a linked truck is if the linked truck isn't working well." Those statements may sound harsh, but they come from someone who's seen both sides of the equation. Don't get us wrong: leaf spring suspensions can be very good. It's just that link-based suspensions still have the advantage provided they're designed and built correctly.
After a couple of seasons on the Ranger, Steve was looking for a fresh direction for both his truck and his racing. We'll let Steve take it from here: "I wanted to try some short desert-style courses, like SNORE's Battle at Primm and the Glen Helen Baja Cup Series. Logistically speaking, there are a lot of things that are easier about short course. One is that it's easier for friends and family to get to see you race. In a desert race, you might break during the first lap and they'll never get to see you. It gets hot out in the desert during the summer and that's not a comfortable environment for casual spectators. The other factor is pit support. Unless you have a big budget, you have to depend on a lot of volunteers. Volunteer help is always appreciated, but volunteers usually can't give the level of support you could expect from a professional pit crew. With short course racing, you don't need a big pit crew, and your pit crew doesn't have to chase you from pit to pit."
Rather than have C&D build another completely new truck, Steve decided to have his Ranger cross over instead. The '86 is now part desert truck, part short-course truck. Chris and Danny left the front of the Ranger alone, but lopped off the factory frame and the existing 'cage work behind the cab. They sliced the wheelbase down by over a foot. In place of the leaf springs, there's now a short-course-style four-link system. The Ranger's stance is low and aggressive: perfect for tight, twisty corners.
Even though it's nimble in the twisties, there's still a desert truck lurking inside. The 114-inch wheelbase is still stable enough to attack the whoops, and there's sufficient travel on tap to navigate the bumpy minefield better known as the Mojave. The back-halved frame lets the truck sit low and still benefit from generous bump travel. Many short-course trucks take to the track with shocks that aren't big enough to handle the heat generated by extended pounding. Showing his long-course desert roots, Steve uses 2.5-inch King coilovers and 3.0 King bypasses to make sure his suspension can take the heat without fading.
What's it like inside the SuperCab? Yours truly had the chance to find out. The co-driver's seat is set back pretty far, allowing tall co-drivers comfortable leg room. I'm short, so the digs were extra-roomy. The ride isn't plush. Instead, it's controlled. This truck is a thoroughbred, not a marshmallow. Under the hood, the power produced by a mildly-built 5.0L small-block Ford V-8 is well-matched to the chassis. The abbreviated wheelbase felt just right on the fire roads above Steve's Hesperia, California hometown. Sweeping through turns and threading between trees happened without drama. We made our way over to Lucerne Valley, where Steve pinned the throttle through a half-mile section of whoops that are part of the racecourse used by MDR and M.O.R.E. Again, it felt controlled but not cushy. For good measure, Steve launched off of The Wall, a short, steep jolt that slams you into the whoops as soon as you land. It's a treacherous jump for a long desert-style wheelbase, but was second nature for the shortened Ranger.
The verdict? This is a perfect blueprint for anyone who needs one truck to do a lot of different things. If dreams become reality, we'll see Steve and his Ranger at Pike's Peak before long. When your truck is crossed over, anything's possible.

First Trailer: here
Official site: http://www.reideen.jp/
Blurb (from Animenfo):
Spoiler for saving space:
Thoughts based on the trailer:
The CG mecha is rather reminiscent of IGPX (understandably) but Reideen itself, funky bow intact in all it's glory, is rather impressive. I rather like the character designs too, thankfully they seem quite mature. Seems Production I.G is aiming for an older audience than IGPX too. Interesting music and the vocals in the trailer, very atmospheric. This is one of 2007's numerous mecha shows that I'm really looking forward to (along with Gurren Lagann and the VOTOMs remake) .

I think there's a problem with audio the 120s trailer that crashes Quicktime. However if you view it in MPC or Zoomplayer (assuming you have Quicktime Alternative installed) it works fine.
Grv, WOWOW broadcasts Chevalier in HV, so fingers crossed.

The trailer in YouTube.
The use of CG even in the characters looked somewhat convoluted... They're probably going to go for fluctuation between cell-animation and CG for certain situations like character and eye close-ups. The feel of the whole trailer, music, atmosphere and what-not seems to be going for the whole hybrid-mystical mecha ala Rahxephon and Eva closer than the original blue-and-red bird's original... The gold CG REIDEEN looks sleek...but I'm not sure I like it, considering how far off it is with the original Yuusha Reideen, only the bow withstanding.

Honestly said, I generally do not like CG mecha in anime shows (with very few exceptions), but I have faith in Production I.G and in the team that is going to work on this. The trailer looked nice enough to make me really interested in this and yes, as you guys said it does resemble Rahxephon (which was inspiried from the original Raideen itself ).

You know, I've always wondered what that stopwatch shot at the start of the RahXephon OP was for. Now I know!
I'm tentatively looking forward to this one; unlike Giant Robo, this looks like a pretty interesting remake. Hopefully IG will put a bit of money into it.

Rahxephon is essentially Raideen, with the Mu empire story, the way its piloted right down to the attacks it uses.
-Raideen was built by the Mu empire similiar to how Rahxephon was built by the Mu.
-Raideen sucks the pilot inside of it much like how Rahxephon does.
-Raideen uses a bow and arrow attack called the God Gorgon and Rahxephon uses a similar attack.
-Raideen has an attack called God Voice which is its most deadly attack and so does Rahxephon.
-One episode of Rahxephon even mimics how Akira calls for Reideen to come to him.

Yep, I'm really looking forward to the preview. But like Shinndou said it'll probably be incredibly awesome and then it'll be total agony waiting for a month until ep 2. Still I'll definately catch the raw of the preview...

The first episode of Reideen is now online, for FREE. Click the red arrow at the bottom of the page, no registration required but you do need Windows Media Player for the DRM.
I'm downloading it atm, I'll post some thoughts/screenshots in a while...

I have WMP 10 and it works okay for me.
Here's the direct link to the stream (83mb). If you want to save it to your hard drive, you'll need a download manager (like Flashget), that can handle mms:// streams.
EDIT: Well this is a promising start. Reideen looks great and the production values are very high...
Spoiler for Ep 1 thoughts and screenshots...:
Remember that this preview of ep 1 also airs on WOWOW on Sunday (hopefully in HD). It should afford a closer look at the pretty animation and CG.

We are Texas Baptist Men. Our hearts focus on God's love. The cross and crown of thorns are the visible expressions of His love.
That great gift expressed in Jeremiah 31:3 God has loved us with an everlasting love and Romans 5:8 (NIV)God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us is truly more than mortal words can express. How can we understand a Holy God loving sinful man in that way? His love is truly more than words can tell.
As we respond to His great love for us, it must be more than just saying words. 2 Corinthians 5:14 (The Message) says it well. Christ's love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do. Our love for Him expresses itself in our commitment to serve Him anyway, anytime, anywhere.

Antibodies are generated by immunizing susceptible hosts, such as rabbits, mice, goats, chickens, and other animals, with a specific antigen. If the antigen is derived from tissue, it must be exhaustively purified, but many antigens are now synthetic portions of a larger protein or carbohydrate. If a large protein is used as the antigen, such as a multi-subunit globular protein, the antibodies produced by the donor animal are not likely to be pure, but will usually be directed towards several portions (in effect, the subunits) of the large conglomerate. These antibodies are referred to as being polyclonal, and usually contain antibodies that react to carrier proteins and other native antibodies that may react to other tissue components. In this case, immunological reactions are usually not specific, targeting the desired antigen-antibody reaction, and are often complicated by high levels of background noise.
Many epithelial cell cultures are good candidates for immunofluorescence labeling with cytokeratin. The LLC-PK1 culture presented above was treated with mouse anti-cytokeratin (pan) primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse secondaries conjugated to Texas Red. Simultaneously, the Golgi complex was visualized with rabbit anti-giantin primaries and goat anti-rabbit secondaries conjugated to Oregon Green 488. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Preheat oven to 375. Using your hammer and nails, poke a hole in each of the eyes of the coconut. If necessary, use the screwdriver to enlarge the holes. Drain out the milk, making sure it smells and tastes sweet. If the milk does not taste sweet, the coconut is inedible. Place in the oven and cook for 25 minute or until you hear a pop and it has cracked. Remove from the oven. Hit it with a hammer until it splits. Tap the shell with the hammer until the meat falls away from the shell.
If you need grated coconut, you can place the meat into a food processor and pulse until the desired texture is reached.

How to Open a Coconut
My thoughts:This sounds scary and dangerous but it's really not. The skin pops right off after it's heated without the coconut meat being affected taste or otherwise. Just make sure you use very clean nails and a clean screwdriver.

Does the coconut taste different after coming out of the over vs just cracking without placing in oven?ReplyDelete

I was born on a teeny island tucked away in the Caribbean where there are lots of coconuts. The method employed by every cook there is to crack the coconut first and deftly drain the "water" into a glass. (Drink this immediately--its good for you.) You then give the coconut several sharp thwaks! against a tile-less surface. I have tried the oven method and I've found that 25 minutes is enough to start that nut cooking. I do it this way: first, I take an ice pick, and poke the softest eye. I drain the coconut water and then take the coconut into my garage where I take a hammer and give it several sharp hits. The coconut opens up and if it's fresh, big chunks of white meat fall out of the shell. Remove the rest with the sharp tip of a knife.ReplyDelete
i love young coconut, I used to use lots of hammers and drills even before. Now I just use a clever, one hit to the side fo the top, then a couple solid hits to the top and it open nicely. Im not too found of the older brown coconuts...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 14, 2006 5:46 PM
seems like a lot of work.ReplyDelete
Best method is take the coconut, find a threshold (main doorway e.g.) or any other hard raised surface (e.g. stairs) and give it a good thwack in the middle (equator of the coconut). The thing will split, right along its equator, allowing you to drain the juice into a cup (drink it, it's yum!!!!) - then a couple more hits and the thing will be in two halves. To further break the halves into smaller pieces, just beat it. A little violence and it's fresh coconut time!! : )
i actually appreciate this tip, unlike everyone else, because in my haste to open a coconut and cut out the flesh, i sustained a deep knife wound and had to get stitches. that was more than a year ago, and i haven't touched a coconut since. this inspires me to try again, and now i know no knives will be involved! thank you!ReplyDelete

Thanks AJ: I thought it was a helpful tip, I have had many close calls with coconut opening that I'd rather avoid. I also have 2 dogs and I'd rather not do a method that involves throwing the coconut on the ground.ReplyDelete

a friend went to hawaii and all we got was a lousy coconut. (and a great pineapple) the milk in the coconut was yucky. oh well, the pineapple was good.ReplyDelete

I found a new invention for young coconut see www.cocotap.com it can also be used on the mature ones for dehusking then piercing the soft 3rd eye draining the fluid which is good to extract cream from the grated coconut flesh by squeezing the gratings in a bowl full of coconut juice and some warm water there are many kinds of graters availableReplyDelete
To drain the coconut water I use one blade of strong kitchen scissors to gore out the soft eye (closest to the husk's axis)and one other eye. Then I up-end the husk over a fine sieve and glass or bowl and 6+ oz of clean, sweet coconut water will trickle out.ReplyDelete
To open the husk I put it in a towel (not too large) and either hit it with a hammer or swing it hard against concrete or brick. It can bounce, but that is easy to control. A couple of wacks reduces the husk to shards and often separates the meat from the husk.
(Two people can work from here; e.g. one prying and one peeling.)
Next I pry off any meat still stuck to the husk:
Use a sturdy knife with a strong tip. Never cut or thrust towards your own body/hand, and never apply force you cannot control when the meat gives way. (See aj's comment... ouch!)
Pick a spot to poke several times, between husk and meat. Then push between the layers and twist the blade* so a chunk of meat pops free. Try to get chunk sizes that suit you for the next step.
*Be sure your knife can handle the twist –you do not want the blade to break, and perhaps spring across the room. I once had a box cutter blade zing past my temple, when cutting a small branch. Think about it!
Use a good, sharp potato peeler to remove the brown skin that is usually on the meat. Why does no one mention this skin? Watch that your finger tips don't get in the way of the peeler's business edges. I peel along edges & from edges to center.
Then I rinse the pieces off in clean water. (P.S. - Hide some pieces in the fridge for later, before everyone else can get to them.)

the best and easiest way to open a coconut is to use a hammer. in the islands they use a large rock or the back of a machete.ReplyDelete
first, drain the coconut juice using a sharp object on the soft eye. find the thin line or bump that extends from the top of the nut, down to the bottom. to have your coconut split into halves... hold your coconut in one hand and the hammer in the other. strike the coconut (with force) on the center of the line.
some people are able to do this with one strike. if it just cracks it open... rotate the coconut and hit it again on the edge of the crack. continue if necessary.

the coconut milk before u cook it tastes horrible try cooking it then draining it, it tastes better.ReplyDelete

Truthfully I've never eaten a coconut. I guess since I now know how why not.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 09, 2007 4:46 PM
I found that a corkscrew for wine was a perfect fit for removing the meat and making the hole for the water to pour out of.ReplyDelete
That's so interesting. I've never heard of that. I've got a second coconut that I may have to try it with. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Professional Negro League Formed in Texas In 1897During the late 1800s numerous attempts were made to organize viable, professional black baseball leagues. However, economic realities, travel and lodging difficulties posed by segregation, and the logistics of travel worked together to thwart the establishment of any solid baseball circuit. Nonetheless, in 1896 an enterprising group of baseball men in Galveston, Texas believed that they had come up with scheme that could build a league on a sound footing. All that was needed to implement their plan for the new Lone Star Colored Baseball League Of Texas, they believed, was an experienced baseball man at the helm.

County employees air concerns
About 15 county employees, some with decades of experience with county functions, supported Rich Bryant from the Building Maintenance Department as he addressed the Carlton County Board on October 9, 8:30 a.m. at the Transportation Building with all commissioners present. "I have worked for the county for 29 years and am putting my job on the line," Bryant commented.
"The problems started about a year ago and center around the supervisor's son," Bryant continued. "I have been the recipient of allegations that I abuse alcohol, have been verbally abused, and criticized for discipline problems. I don't know what to do. Coming to the board after meeting with County Coordinator Dennis Generreau, the sheriff, and the county attorney has had zero results and so now I am here."
Chairman Ted Pihlman responded, "Usually you go through channels first with these types of issues — the union and then personnel."
"I have," Bryant insisted, "but nothing appears to be happening this last year. Maintenance workers come and go as they please. It comes down to time stealing — sign in and sign out practices do not coincide with the actual hours worked. Criticism of my work performance started when I made an issue of the time stealing." It was also noted that no Building Maintenance Department meeting had been held for 16 years until September 16.
"I am aware of time stealing," Barb Bassa, union steward and longtime Highway Department clerical, reinforced Bryant's comments. "In the past I have investigated on my personal time and documented time stealing. The result was that an employee was transferred to another building."
Genereau, whose duties include personnel director, explained, "There are three investigations going on at this time. It may seem slow to some but addressing these complaints takes time. My training is as an attorney, and I need to find out what is not just the perception but in fact what is the truth. Unfortunately, I had to create a policy to investigate these types of issues so that the county does not get into trouble. Up to this point, no written system was in place and in fact an approved complaint form to make a written complaint did not exist."
"My door is always open for input," Genereau continued. "No system was in place when I started these new responsibilities to address these issues. For that matter, other policies needed for tasks I am assigned do not exist. It takes time to thoughtfully create these procedures and to fairly implement them. This has been a critical component for addressing these allegations since my appointment."
"Time stealing is theft," explained County Attorney Thomas Pertler. "An investigation continues. An Itasca County deputy, an outside source, has come to find the facts and an outside county attorney will give a legal opinion if there are grounds to prosecute. This takes time."
Chairman Pihlman directed, "Let's set up a meeting with concerned employees, Personnel Director Generreau, and the board to discuss the problems and find solutions." No date has been set at press time.
Other business
The county board approved a request by Mark and Heather Johnson of 3355 Bent Trout Lake Road in Barnum to receive a conditional use permit for a motorcycle track on their property. The maximum number of participants shall be limited to 100 with the number of participants on the track at any one time shall be 20. The course will be open from April 1 to October 31 each year and shall be reviewed by the county periodically.
A request came from Cloquet business SpecSys, who has just acquired a building next to the new Human Services Building, to get a tax abatement from the county. The city of Cloquet and the Cloquet School District have already given their permission for a tax abatement. It was suggested that the county may be willing to participate by "streaming abated tax dollars from the building to fund adjacent parking lot improvements to benefit county workers nearby in the Community Services Building." The county board refused to consider tax abatement for SpecSys with a vote of 3-2 with Pihlman, Marv Bodie, and Robert Olean voting not to consider and Dick Brenner and Thomas Proulx voting to consider.
The assessor asked the board for direction on the purchase of a replacement car for her office. She had asked for a program car with 30,000 miles and at no more than $15,000 from the only dealership in the county, Cloquet Ford. Several of the board members said that they would rather do business within the county but concern for the cost to the taxpayer was also a consideration. The board went on record to authorize the assessor to shop around from any source in the region to get a car and not spend more than $15,000. Proulx voted no.
In other business, approval was given for Bruce Hasbargen of 414 South Avenue, Carlton, to fill in 4,200 square feet for a building site for his trucking business about 300 feet from Otter Creek Watershed, and the wetland will be replaced. Approval was given for the purchase of gravel from Arne and Judy Isaacson at property located at 2909 Hermanson Road. There is no conflict with the purchase since Court Administrator Isaacson is a state employee. Cromwell Mayor Sam Clark will be the new Economic Development Commissioner replacing Scott Warner. Terry Anderson was reappointed to the Arrowhead Library Board.

Silvio Cascione – Reuters, 12/17/2012
Economists trimmed forecasts for Brazil's economic growth this year and next for the fifth straight week, a central bank survey showed on Monday.
The largest Latin American economy — and one of the fastest growing countries only two years ago — is now expected to expand just 1.00 percent this year, down from 1.03 percent seen in the prior week, according to the poll's median forecasts.
Brazilian businesses have suffered from lacklustre investment levels, rising labour costs and a heavy tax burden. President Dilma Rousseff has offered several stimulus measures over the past year and according to media reports is studying further steps to revive growth.

Dallas, Tx. April 24, 2007. Despite severe thunderstorms and a couple of tornadoes, a great crowd turned out to welcome President and Mrs. White to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Local alumni leaders Ray LaDriere '78 and Dan Susie '68 co-hosted the evening. Of course, local area leader Dutch Friese '48 would have been at the forefront, but Dutch was off cruising the world on yet another fun trip!
Pat White gave the group an update on the College including the bright admissions outlook for the fall and the status of the Strategic Planning process, which is set to begin in earnest in the fall. Pat also explained the critical importance of hiring new faculty. It is not just finding someone who can teach, he explained, but someone who truly "gets" Wabash and engages students in and out of the classroom. Anything less just is not the Wabash way, Pat stated.
Ray LaDriere took a moment to recognize the long term contributions of recently-retired Judge Jay Patterson '65. Jay retired in January after a 12-year tenure as one of the leading judges in the entire area. Retirement, though, is much too strong a word as Jay's currently leading the exploration effort for a new public law school in the north Dallas area.
At the end of the evening, Dan Susie called President White to the podium and presented Pat with the ultimate Dallas-Ft. Worth gift, a custom-fit Stetson. As they say in the movies, the crowd went wild!
Many thanks go to Anne LaDriere, Ray's spouse. Anne set up the entire event, making the evening special in every way. Earlier in the day Anne also showed Chris White around the Dallas area.

Are you tired of your typical columned and boxed layout? It is time to learn how to break out of the box and do something creative. In this post, I've collected some of the best examples that are designed out of the box. I've also provided some quick CSS tips with demo files on how to break out of the box by creatively using background images and the CSS position property.
Example 1: Huge Inc
What really captured my attention on the Huge site is the header design. Notice how the design elements are extended out of the box.
Example 2: Jason Santa Maria
With the amount of effort and details that Jason input on his site, no doubt it is one of the best designer sites around. Click through the posts, you will find that almost each post is unique and has a different stylesheet. Some visual images are within the grid, some are out of the box.
Example 3: A Brief Message
Similar to Jason Santa Maria's website, each post on ABriefMessage.com features a different image and CSS stylesheet. Unlike the other typical blog sites, the text on the site is perfectly layouted, so it runs around the image (it is like reading a print design).
Example 4: Trent Walton
TrentWalton.com puts the focus on the header, where each post displays a different background image and typesetting.
Example 5: Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless
Although there are some accessibility issues with the Wonderbra site (eg. the font is not scalable), but it is a lovely design. The content and images are nicely put together. At the first glance, I thought it was a Flash site. Then, I checked the source code and found it is done by CSS and a Javascript text replacement, cufon.
Example 6: Fox
Fox – Fringe web site broke the boring boxed layout by using spectacular background images that blend from top to bottom. Also, the slant cuts in between the boxes make it look more interesting. Don't forget to check the other Fox TV show sites.
Example 7: Mezzoblue
Mezzoblue made the image extend off the grid. This can be easily achieved by using the
margin-left property with negative value.
Quick CSS Tutorials
Using CSS Absolute Position (view demo)
The following tutorial imitate the result as seen on the Huge website using the
position property. Use
position:absolute to place each element. Then set higher
z-index for the logo, nav, and content area (so they are placed above the image box).
Using background image (view demo)
In this example, the logo and the text are embed in the background image. To make the logo text clickable, first specify the
H1 to absolute position, then use text-indent to hide the text in the
H1 a.
For the Click Here button, use absolute position to place it in exact location. Specify a background image to it and use text-indent to hide the text. On the hover, change the background position to bottom.
Using margin-left (view demo)
This one is extremely simple. Just specify the image with negative
margin-left and

I love coming to websites that show out of the box designs that aren't duplicates of other website postings. Thanks!
OMG…It's awesome design… i like it…Thanks for….
Very inspirational examples and tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Last wordpress themes looks is cool dude…
I'm still learning from you, but I'm trying to reach my goals. I certainly enjoy reading all that is posted on your site.Keep the stories coming. I liked it!

This article describes the local committee in Greenfield, Massachusetts established to implement the program of the National Recovery Administration. The NRA was the main recovery policy of the early New Deal. The goal was to end the Depression by stopping the downward economic spiral of wages, jobs and prices. The NRA organized industries in specific sectors of the economy to sign agreements regulating these factors. These agreement were accompanied by much publicity in the form of public meetings and parades. Note that the "citizens committee" in Greenfield is organized along military lines with "generals" and "colonels" in the leadership. Although the article focuses on employment in retail stores, other local industries also signed NRA codes. The United States Supreme Court declared the NRA unconstitutional in 1935, in part because Congress delegated too much power to the President.

Global drug abuse has led to what inarguably can be described as a world awash in blood and human misery.
In reply stands Narconon, the drug rehabilitation and prevention program founded in 1966 and based on the discoveries of L. Ron Hubbard.
The Narconon Program not only addresses the mental and physical debilitation precipitated by drug abuse, but also the reasons why an individual turns to drugs in the first place.
In consequence, the Narconon success rate is not merely the world's highest, it is four times better than international averages. But with drug abuse now ruining 200 million lives worldwide, the battle to eradicate abuse must also include prevention. To that end, Narconon graduates and volunteers conduct one of the most effective drug awareness programs on Earth. To date, it has provided more than 18 million young people with the facts about drug abuse.
In fulfillment of the strategy to make the Narconon Program available to still more, Scientologists helped sponsor the creation of Narconon Arrowhead. Established in 2001, this is the premier facility of the Narconon network. It stands amidst 216 acres of woodland on the shores of Lake Eufaula in southeastern Oklahoma. In addition to being the world's largest residential facility of its kind, Narconon Arrowhead also serves as the international training center for drug rehab specialists. Since opening its doors, it has provided on-site training for professionals from 13 nations and 43 U.S. states.
At the end of the first decade of this century, the worldwide Narconon drug rehabilitation and prevention network comprised 190 centers and groups across 47 nations—double the number of a decade earlier.
