Episode 3 of 10 ...or how confusing can it get... Excuse me for a second, my brain is about to explode after watching tonight's show.. All will be revealed later.... but first the teams are subjected to pointless racing from challenge to challenge before the pace of the show grinds to a screeching halt.... to play golf... WTF? There seems to be a racetrack theme running through the first half of the show, with an accuracy challenge at a horse race track and then a interesting but pointless racing /chipping challenge at the Daytona Speedway. Hit the car with your shot, and take a lap off of your partenrs 4-lap ride. Our resident NASCAR Mom (puddin) would have liked this, but too bad she don't get this channel... Then they race to the clubhouse challenge where the order of their arrival gives them a penalty in the stroke challenge. ...did I lose you yet, because my brain was spinning at this point...Team with highest combined scores of a par 4 and par 5 hole plus penalty points is the loser... carry the three, square root of 2... BUT wait... there's a twist...or two...or three.... THIS IS A SUPER LEG.... WTF? that means it's a Non-elimination leg, no strikes, just a time penalty for the losing team next week. Don't pass go, don't collect $200, BUT THERE'S MORE.... (oh save me lord) the winning team (after we adjust for magnetic north and position of the planets during a full moon) get next week off...(aka IMMUNITY!) If you followed all that you're a better man than I am.... OK, so here's the results after 3 legs ...Team Good Ole Boys 0 strikeTeam Salt & Pepper 1 strike --- IMMUNITY, take next week off!Team Brother & Sis 0 strike --- start with time penalty next weekTeam Dad & Son 0 strikeTeam Ashley/Ashleigh 1 strike...oh yeah, did I tell you, these folks can't play golf to save their lives.... OK TARAsia Fan, looks like we're the only two watching this show...let the bashing begin...
You can hate on the contestants and the show but not the members so yeahthatsright hacker.
Yeah, no one's getting eliminated here. What is going on? It would up the ante if someone got booted. I'm a bit sick of a couple of teams like bro-sis and salt&peppa.
They're getting more entertaining each week! Unfortunately for you guys, it could potentially be three more weeks before an elimination!!! HAHA!!
....I've seen nothing to feel that this show is breaking any ground. Same old, same old.
There has not been anything like this on television for golf fans. It's not NBC guys. It's the Golf Channel. There is nothing groundbreaking about reality television period. It's just simply taking something that has been done in movies, etc... & using regular people instead of actors & scripts. The only thing that you could say was groundbreaking about reality tv is that they save loads of money not having to use high-priced actors & writers.

Discovery Channel prepares you for the zombie apocalypse
"It's scientifically plausible for humans to contract a virus that changes them into a Zombie."
"Prepare yourself with 'Zombie Apocalypse Tuesday' on Discovery."
Are you ready for doomsday? Or a zombie apocalypse? Discovery Channel introduces a group of ordinary people prepping for a zombie takeover and examines the science behind this end-of-the-world scenario in the new one-hour special documentary Zombie Apocalypse, premiering Tuesday, December 18th at 10PM ET/PT as part of Discovery Channel's "Apocalypse Tuesday".
Ivy League professors and scientists speak out in this special to give evidence for this scenario.
Diseases can move very quickly thanks to our global infrastructure – cars, trains, subways and if such a virus were to become a pandemic, the results would be immediate and devastating.
This event isn't all imagination. Dr. Steven Scholzman of Harvard Medical School explains that it is indeed plausible for humans to contract a virus that changes them into something resembling a Zombie.
A zombie-like virus passed on by human contact could infect every person in a city the size of New York in just 8-9 days.
The 1918 Spanish Influenza killed 100 million people worldwide, and something similar could kill a staggering 250 million today.
Some people imagine what it would be like to win the lottery, but Zombie Preppers spend their time planning for Zombie attacks. Meet the everyday individuals who can't stop thinking through all the scenarios for their own demise.
· Patti Heffernan: A mother of two who's teaching her children to fight Zombies, she spends time fortifying her home and thinking through worst case scenarios.
· Alfredo Carbajel: Founder of the Kansas Anti-Zombie militia, he has a secret location stockpiled with all the supplies necessary to keep him alive during the apocalypse.
· Matthew Oakey: An ex-military firearms instructor who wouldn't hesitate to kill a Zombie, he's loading up on firearms and preparing an escape route in The Event of an attack.
· Shawn Beatty: This Wisconsin-based teacher doesn't expect Zombies to rise from their graves, but believes that the end is near and wants to be prepared when disaster strikes.
Tune in to Discovery Channel's "Apocalypse Tuesday" on December 18th kicking off with HOW THE WORLD WILL END at 8PM ET/PT, followed by APOCALYPSE 2012 REVELATIONS at 9PM ET/PT and concluding with the premiere of ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE at 10PM ET/PT.

text: besides the blade and 1U approaches, I've been wondering about using small-form-factor uATX cases. these are roughly 3x12", which is pretty close to the same "rack surface area" as 1U, so the density would be comparable to 1U uniprocessors. you can get them on the commodity market (eg AOpen uATX cases), but vendors like Dell and Compaq both have fairly attractive units. the big vendor approach is attractive because of preconfiguration and the 3-year warantee they come with.. prices seem pretty good - starting at around $US 1k for a nice little P4 brick. Compaq, for instance, seems flexible about things like omitting kbd/floppy/disk/video/windows for substantial orders, and their other Evo machines definitely PXE boot. does anyone have horror stories about trying this sort of thing? these are definitely not plain old beige boxes, and for people who simply need >100 CPUs with unexceptional network, possibly no disk, this seems pretty attractive. thanks, mark hahn.

SteveR. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 131 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
CAI - The ATM Company, http://www.caiatms.com
CAI is an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) distribution company. We place ATMs in businesses so that consumers at those businesses have access to cashwhen and where they are most likely to need it. We not only give free ATMs to businesses we also sell them to businesses and to smaller independent distributors who will do the same thing we do but on a smaller scale.
CAI handles all of the licensing and transaction processing and due to our size and volume we are able to extend low pricing to both business owners and small distributors.
We were established in 1994, making us one of the first companies in the United States to deploy off premise (non-bank) ATMs.
We have two target audiences. First is the business owner and the distributor who will see us on the internet, print advertizing and on our existing ATMs. The second, market is the consumer who uses our ATMs and should have a feeling of comfort and security knowing they are using an older trusted name in the industry.
We currently have our logo on two thousand ATMs. we would like to rebrand with a new fresh look while maintaining our identity

Rhode Island Estate Planning CEO and Employee Plead Guilty to Obtaining Millions in Death Benefits and Investments in the Names of Terminally Ill Individuals
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 19, 2012
PROVIDENCE, RI—Attorney Joseph A. Caramadre, 50, president, CEO, and majority owner of Estate Planning Resources in Cranston, Rhode Island; and Raymour Radhakrishnan, 28, an employee of Estate Planning Resources, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Providence, Rhode Island, today to conspiring to steal and to use the identities of terminally ill patients to obtain millions of dollars in illicit profits from insurance companies and bond issuers. They also admitted to making numerous misrepresentations to insurance companies, brokerage houses, and dealers in furtherance of the scheme.
Caramadre and Radhakrishnan pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith to conspiracy to commit identity theft and wire fraud as the second week of testimony in their federal court jury trial was scheduled to begin. Caramadre and Radhakrishnan were charged in a 66-count grand jury indictment returned on November 17, 2011.
Caramadre and Radhakrishnan's guilty pleas were announced by Peter F. Neronha, U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island; Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Boston Field Office; Kevin M. Niland, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Boston Division; and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Boston Office of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation.
According to information presented to the court, in the mid-1990s, Joseph Caramadre developed investment strategies that depended on the use of terminally ill individuals. On his own behalf and on the behalf of investors, friends, and family members, Caramadre began to purchase variable annuities from insurance companies. These annuities offered death benefits upon the death of the person identified as the annuitant. These benefits included a guaranteed return of all the money invested, plus, in many instances, a guaranteed profit, even if the market went down, and various other bonuses and enhancements.
In addition, according to information presented to the court, in 2006, Caramadre began to invest another financial product that produced substantial profits upon the death of an individual—so-called "death put bonds." Under the terms of these bonds, the owner of the bond is able to redeem the bond years or decades prior to the maturity date upon the death of the bond's co-owner. This investment strategy also depended on the use of terminally ill individuals.
According to court documents, Caramadre located terminally ill individuals in various ways, including by visiting AIDS patients at a House of Compassion in Cumberland, Rhode Island, by locating family members and associates who were terminally ill, and by soliciting individuals who were terminally ill to purchase small life insurance policies.
According to court documents, Caramadre placed an advertisement in a local Catholic newspaper that provided that there was a compassionate organization that would immediately give $2,000 in cash to terminally ill individuals. Dozens of terminally ill responded to the ad. Caramadre gave Raymour Radhakrishnan, who began working for Caramadre in July 2007, the job of meeting with the people who responded to the ad for the purpose of obtaining their identity information and using that information on annuities and brokerage accounts.
According to court documents, Caramadre and Radhakrishnan made misrepresentations to terminally ill and elderly patients and their family members in order to obtain their personal identity information. They used the information, including names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers, to obtain more than 200 variable annuities and to open more than 75 brokerage accounts in order to purchase death-put bonds in the victims' names without their knowledge and consent. Caramadre and Radhakrishnan either forged the signatures of terminally ill people on account documents or obtained the signatures by means of misrepresentations. When the terminally ill person died, Caramadre and others reaped substantial profits by exercising death benefits associated with the investments.
Joseph Caramadre and Raymour Radhakrishnan are scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith on February 8, 2013.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lee H. Vilker and John P. McAdams, with the assistance of paralegal Kellyann Anderson.
The matter was investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office and law enforcement agents from the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and IRS-Criminal Investigation.
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it is the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory, and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud.
Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions, and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants.

Welcome to the new Casino on SA. Here you'll find great games to play like:
Let 'em Ride
Slots: Bars and 7s
Slots: Fruit Machine
Slots: Ninjas
Texas Holdem
Video Poker
This will be integrated with our current VbBux mod as well which is a nice feature. You may play the games as often as you like, just click on the SA Games link in the navbar at the top of the page and you'll see the link for the casino. Just click on it and then choose your game. This casino has a Texas Holdem room that you all can play. We will keep our current poker set up for tournaments and such since it works well. Right now we have 2 tables that we pay for each month but we'll probably drop that down to one table that can be used for tournaments or regular play. It's a proven system that works well so we're not going to drop it entirely. At some point if this new casino works out well we may drop the paid version we have now but that won't be until this new mod is tested and we make sure it's going to work well.
So basically go ahead and enjoy all the new games, play them and be sure to post up here and let us know what you think and of course if you encounter any problems let us know. If you have any suggestions on adjusting the amount of points you start out with or anything of that nature we're open to suggestions as always.
CowboysPride uses this feature and it seems to work out well for them so we'll see how it goes here.

Nobody saw this one coming. Jayson Werth was going to stay in Philly or go to Boston. He would make his money, but $126 million over seven years from the Washington Nationals was completely off the radar.
Losing Werth weakens the Phillies, but they are resilient, willing to spend and will find a way to replace him. No tears shed there. As for the Nationals, he can't help but make them better, but this is a team that just lost Adam Dunn so are they upgrading the offense that much?
Werth is good player, but how much of that production comes from hitting in Philadelphia's bandbox and the protection afforded him in that lineup? Not sure he'll do the same for the Nationals.
Word is the Nationals aren't done and are willing to throw money after pitching, notably Carl Pavano.
We know the Mets aren't as good as Philly, Atlanta and probably the Marlins. Now the Nationals are making noises like they want to escape the NL East cellar. Sad to say, but they just might be the yardstick the Mets will measure themselves by in the near future.
Washington's aggressiveness is being noted by the Mets, but hopefully they will stay the course and give Sandy Alderson's blueprint time to develop. Trying to keep up with the Joneses with foolish spending is what got the Mets into trouble in the first place.
Mets fans have been clamoring for change since the end of the 2007 season when the team blew a seven game lead with 17 to play. There has been no structured plan for development the past three years as the Mets approached each offseason with a piecemeal approach.
This time, the Mets are trying patience and trying to build from the bottom up. That's been the party line and Alderson has not wavered and suggested this team will be competitive by throwing large sums of money at players.
There is a lot of work to do, and most of it will come next winter after Carlos Beltran, Oliver Perez, Luis Castillo and probably Francisco Rodriguez are off the books. That's when the spending will come. For now, it's evaluating, minor moves and hoping players stay healthy as the way to go for 2011.
It's tempting to watch the Nationals and give in to the spending impulse, but in the long term that's not the way to go.
We've wanted a front office with vision, organization and planning for three years now. We now have one, so let's give them the time to get it done, no matter how much spending goes on this week.

(CNN) -- When Josep Maria Bartomeu became the 40th president of FC Barcelona at the start of this year, he was paraded at the Camp Nou stadium in front of the waiting press, just as his predecessors before him had.
The president of Barcelona, after all, has an exalted status. Usually they are voted for by the club's socios, or members, the president sets the tone of the club and the scope of its ambition. They are held to account, too, for their behavior off the pitch and results on it.
A picture was taken of the 51-year-old engineer and entrepreneur, with the club's famous motto visible in the stadium seats behind him, to his left.
Mes Que Un Club.
More Than A Club.
It is an invocation that sums up how Barcelona's fans and players believe that their club transcends soccer. How it represents a progressive Catalan political and social identity. The shirt was deemed so sacred that, for over a century, no sponsor was allowed to sully its famous stripes.
But, in the same picture, to his right, the words "Qatar Airways" loom even larger. The same company now graces the front of Barcelona's shirts too.
Bartomeu has taken charge of a club standing on the crossroads, not to mention at the end of one of the darkest periods in Barcelona's recent history.
In little over a year the club has lost its position as Europe's most feared team, changed its manager, seen another beloved former coach die of cancer, seen Lionel Messi embroiled in an embarrassing tax case and been accused of complicity, at least, in tax avoidance surrounding the transfer deal that brought Brazil star Neymar to Spain.
It was that final scandal that saw Bartomeu's predecessor Sandro Rosell resign in disgrace.
Bartomeu was his deputy and took over, leaving many Barca fans unhappy they weren't allowed their traditional vote.
Factor in the recent signing of Luis Suarez, a player still banned from all soccer related activity after biting a player at the World Cup finals, the third time he has bitten a player in a game during his short career, and the phrase "Mes Que Un Club," for many, seems to be describing a time passed.
Now Bartomeu has been charged with steadying the ship and making sure that isn't the case.
"Things have been very difficult for us," admits Bartomeu in an exclusive, wide-ranging CNN interview. "Not only sporting. I mean we also had a lot of things not sporting that has been ... well, developing the club in another way that we were not planning. But everything [that] comes we try to solve."
Season ahead
Given what's on Bartomeu's plate, his immediate focus is the season ahead. After a barren year, and the resignation of former coach Tata Martino, the club has put its faith in former player Luis Enrique, returning to a time when coaches were nurtured and promoted from within.
"I learned very, very much from Pep Guardiola. He is a genius," Bartomeu said of Barcelona's former coach who, like Enrique, cut his teeth coaching the Barcelona B team.
"Then after Pep, Tito Vilanova, which was the natural continuation of this project but Tito had very bad medical problems. And (then) came Tata Martino. Tata Martino is a ... well, a coach from Argentina with another way of looking at football."
It was agreed that Martino, after a tough transitional season, would stand down. According to Bartomeu, there was only one choice. "(Director of football) Zubizarreta told us: 'Luis Enrique is our man. Luis Enrique is our coach,' " he recalls. "He has been preparing himself in the last few years for this so we took him."
The Messi factor
There has been a changing of the guard on the pitch as much as off it. The biggest loss has been Carles Puyol, who took over as club captain from Enrique almost a decade ago but has now retired after struggling with injuries.
All eyes will be on Lionel Messi, the team's focal point and the embodiment of the club's fortunes.
"It's unlimited," Bartomeu replies when asked how much Messi was worth to Barcelona now.
"Leo Messi came to our club when he was 13 years old. This year he will be 27 ... He has been growing within our club. He is one of us.
"Leo Messi represents something more than his goals or the titles he won. Leo Messi represents, a little bit, this spirit of a young player that comes to our Masia, to our youth academy, and learns."
Bartomeu says he is not worried about the tax case, based on offshore payments for image rights, that has dogged Messi since last year.
"That is something that belongs to his personal life, of course," Bartomeu says. "He has our support, our help and, well, he's managing with his advisers, with his lawyers and of course anything he needs Barca is there to help him."
The Neymar deal
But it is another potential court case that has proved even more damaging to Barcelona's reputation. When details of the Neymar transfer deal was made public, with an alleged $10 million shortfall in what was paid and what was declared to the Spanish authorities, it caused a wave of outrage. Bartomeu, however, believes that the club didn't do anything wrong.
"This transfer is being investigated by a judge in Spain and we have different interpretations," he says. "What we did, of course, being prudent as much as possible, we pay taxes in Brazil and also we pay the same taxes in Spain. So we paid twice just to avoid any misunderstandings for the judge. When the truth comes out then Barca will benefit from this truth."
This season Barcelona will try to accommodate three of the finest attacking talents in the world game: Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, even if the club will have to wait for the Uruguayan to serve his four-month ban for biting.
"When we approached Suarez, it was before the World Cup," Bartomeu says.
"We told him that he had the right age. He had the experience. Playing at Liverpool give him incredible performance also. And it was the right time for him to come to our club, to Barcelona.
"We knew from a lot of lot of years ago that Luis Suarez likes our club, likes our city. And we have the advantage. His agent is Pep Guardiola's brother ... He's from Barca in his heart, also, so everything was perfect and created the perfect atmosphere that Luis Suarez accepted. And we know that he had better offers than our offer but he came to Barcelona."
Suarez ban
Suarez's bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini became, for many, one of the defining images of the World Cup. But the incident didn't give Bartomeu any second thoughts.
"No, no. We didn't rethink this decision and we told Luis after the bite. He knows he did wrong," Bartomeu says.
"He apologized. That's very important for us. That means he knows that he did not do things properly -- and of course, coming to our city, coming to our club, there's going to be a way of managing Luis Suarez, because at Liverpool he was a perfect player. Liverpool fans can tell it, supporters can tell it."
On question remains: How would Barcelona react if he bit someone again?
"This is now a question," Bartomeu admits. "This is a question that a lot of people now ask us. We cannot talk about something that could happen or not. We don't know. What we know is that we accept this responsibility and he also wants this responsibility of bringing Luis Suarez to the family of football."
So confident is Barcelona that Suarez will not err again, Bartomeu has not insisted on a "no biting" clause in the contract.
"No, there is no clause," he confirms. "If the clause did exist we wouldn't say it, but it doesn't exist."
Guardiola's return?
As the season approaches -- La Liga kicks off on August 23 -- many question marks remain over where Barcelona is headed and whether it is really "more than a club" or susceptible to the same shenanigans as any other team in the modern game.
Luis Enrique will have to hit the ground running, but Bartomeu believes that the club's special ethos is such that few can resist its gravitational pull, even former coaches like Pep Guardiola.
"Oh I'm sure," Bartomeu says when asked whether Guardiola would ever return to Barcelona.
"I'm sure that all the people that are from Barca, they have Barca in their heart, they go back to Barcelona and help the club. It's something that has happened in the past and will continue in the future.
"I always say to a lot of people that I see a future of Barca. I hope that after 2022 ... with a lot of players that are right now playing or players that are training other teams, coming back to our team as coaches, as a sport director, as members or as presidents of the club.
"Because at the end, we are like a family."

Ataturk museum reopens in his Greek birthplace
THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A museum dedicated to the founder of the modern Turkish state has reopened in his native city in northern Greece following a year's restoration work.
Greek and Turkish government officials said the museum, at the house where Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is believed to have been born in 1881, would help efforts to strengthen ties between the two historic rivals.
The three-level house inaugurated in Thessaloniki on Friday lies within the Turkish Consulate complex. It has been declared a modern monument by Greek cultural authorities, and was restored to the appearance it had in 1881.
Ataturk, who led Turkey's defeat of Greek expeditionary forces in the 1919-22 war, lived part of his childhood in Thessaloniki. He became Turkey's first president, heading efforts at reconciliation with Greece, and died in 1938.

License Reinstatement
Code Requirements
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances 244.1910(13) specifies that rental licenses that have been revoked by the Minneapolis City Council are eligible to be reinstated. Persons who have had an interest in a license revoked (or canceled due to condemnation under Minneapolis Code of Ordinances 244.1925) shall be ineligible from obtaining any new rental dwelling licenses for a period of three (3) years. Persons who have had an interest in two (2) or more licenses revoked (or canceled due to condemnation under Minneapolis Code of Ordinances 244.1925) or a combination of revocations or cancellations shall be ineligible to hold or have an interest in a rental dwelling license or provisional license for a period of five (5) years.
Once the period of ineligibility has passed, applicants must meet several more requirements:
- A management plan for the property must be submitted to Luther Krueger, Minneapolis Police Department Crime Prevention Analyst.
- The owner or property manager shall provide proof of prior attendance and successful completion within one (1) year prior to the date of application of a recognized fundamentals of rental property management course approved by the director of regulatory services.
- There must be no unpaid administrative citations or special assessments pending against the property.
- The property's taxes must be current.
- The property must pass a full rental license inspection, or have had a recent certificate of code compliance issued.
- Pursuant to Minneapolis Code of Ordinances 244.1945, if a reinstatement is sought by the person or persons who had an interest in the rental license at the time it was revoked, a $3000.00 reinstatement fee is due. If a reinstatement is sought by a new owner, a $1000.00 reinstatement fee is due.
Once these conditions have been met, the reinstatement will be put on the next available agenda for the Economic Development & Regulatory Services Committee of the City Council. The committee normally meets twice per month. The committee recommendation is then forwarded to the next full City Council meeting. If the City Council votes to reinstate the license, it will be published in Finance & Commerce approximately eight days after the Council meeting. After the Council Action is published in Finance & Commerce, the rental license can be issued. The owner must submit a rental license application along with the appropriate rental license fees at that time.
Please be aware that the property cannot be rented until the rental license has been issued.

Details and Discussion in the Forum Thread
The Cooper release is named in honor of the new monster infighting system, now you can sit back and watch as your enemies tear each other to pieces. Don't get too close though, they're still out for your blood.
- This release also brings the long-requested DeathCam system, which lets you see the aftermath of the glorious fireball or atrocious trainwreck that was your demise.
- Gun users will notice a new aiming menu, you now spend time to steady your aim, do you take the shot now, or wait until the zombie gets a little closer?
- Tailoring-oriented survivors (and who isn't?) will note the new tailor's kit item, which lets you add insulation or protective patches to your clothes.
- Survivors with gigantic deathmobiles may appreciate the new turret options, including being able to enable/disable individual turrets, and being able to fire some turrets manually.
- Finally, for survivors with, shall we say, "well-stocked" bases, there are massive improvements to performance when there are many thousands of items nearby.

I just got word from the people at the Interdependance Project in New York that the room in which I'm speaking holds 80 and they've already received 40 RSVPs. Pretty cool. So any of you "back East" (as they say here on the Left Coast) who plan on seeing the talk better RSVP PDQ. OK? Otherwise you'll be SOL and standing out on the street trying to wave at my passing limo like Beatle-fans in those old films. (Not that I'll have a limo, some people take things way to freakin' literally)
All the relevant info is in the post below this one.
Saw The Simpsons Movie yesterday. Liked it. But all that stuff where the critics are saying they laughed until they puked and they wanna see it 20 more times? Give me a break! How much do they get paid to say that stuff? And how can I get paid to say stuff like that?
I also saw my friends Pet Stove perform their very first ever show at the Airliner Club in Los Angeles last Saturday. Pet Stove is the future of rock and roll! They're playing at the Airliner again on the 19th. Go see 'em! They rock. Two of the members are also regular attendees at my Zazen classes in Santa Monica. Which shows what Zazen will do for you! IT'LL MAKE YOU ROCK! That's what.
AND from August 11 thru 18 I'll be sitting and sitting and sitting at the Great Sky Zen Sesshin somewhere in the middle of the woods in Minnesota. So don't try and write or call cuz I won't be in range of Internets or Cell Phones. I will regale you with tales of my great revelations afterwards.
AND I just got the re-issue of all the early Max Fleischer Popeye cartoon. Blow me down! It's amazing stuff.
OH YEAH!~ And in my continuing efforts to improve this page I have added a page of audio interviews I've done. It's on your left there. It says "INTERVIEWS I'VE DONE" or something like that.

Integrated teamwork was key to the successful delivery of the stadium early and under budget.
The centrepiece of the world's greatest sporting extravaganza, the stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics in 2012 as well as athletics and field events.
Constructed on a 40 acre site to the southern side of the Olympic Park in Stratford, the 80,000-seat venue was designed to be converted into a 25,000-seat venue after the Games.
The main accommodation for athletes, venue management, VIPs and media is provided in the west stand of the stadium.
While a comparable project would typically take around 18 months to progress from end concept to start of construction, at the stadium this was achieved in just six months.
The project team's alternative proposal for a lightweight cable net roof was the most sustainable option and used half as much steel as a standard cantilever design.
A dedicated Safety Leadership Team comprising representatives from the various project partners worked to eliminate worker injury. Extensive workforce engagement and increased training ensured full buy-in to the project's safety culture and values, neatly summed up in the site maxim of Be Safe Home Safe. The project went on to be completed with an exemplary safety record.
The stadium's compact design minimised the materials required in its construction. The venue contains around 10,000 tonnes of steel and is the lightest Olympic Stadium to date.
An on-site education facility delivered qualifications in literacy, numeracy and ICT as well as NVQs at Levels 2 and 3.
The project team raised £20,000 for the Time to Shine programme which provides regular community-based sports activities for young disabled people living in the five host boroughs of the Games.
"Sir Robert McAlpine developed a strong culture of site safety and respect for fellow workers whilst delivering the scheme. The positive behaviours generated throughout the workforce are a powerful message to the industry of what can be achieved when a management team spend time and effort to ensure that all workforce concerns are listened to and responded to swiftly and effectively." Ian Crockford, ODA Project Sponsor
"To complete a complicated project such as this in less than three years is testament to the skill and professionalism of the UK construction industry. I would like to thank the Team Stadium consortium and all of the workers for their hard work and commitment." John Armitt, ODA Chairman
The Team Stadium partners were also responsible for Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and the O2 Arena.
The project team won the Commitment to Exemplar Performance Award at the inaugural ODA Safety and Environment Awards, and received the ODA and CLM's Safety, Health & Environment Leadership Team's Lessons Learnt Award for the establishment of a dedicated Working at Height Rescue and Evacuation Team.
Further honours include Gold Awards at the Considerate Constructors Scheme National Site Awards in 2012 and 2011, with the stadium named runner-up for the top award of Most Considerate Site in 2012.
The stadium was also the first in the UK to receive Secured by Design certification for the measures taken to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

|Pattonville board reviews balanced budget for 2017-2018
|Tuesday, June 20, 2017
The Pattonville Board of Education on June 13 reviewed a proposed $94.5 million balanced operating budget for the 2017-2018 school year. A vote is expected on the budget during the June 27 meeting. This is the fourth year in a row the district has achieved a balanced budget. Pattonville is able to continue to maintain a balanced budget as a result of voter approval of Proposition P in November 2013. Prop P provides additional revenue and prevented the need to cut $10 million from the district budget after already cutting $8 million between 2007 and 2013.
The 2017-2018 budget was established based on several factors:
Approximately 86 percent of Pattonville's funding comes from local taxes, with a small amount of support from state and federal resources.
For more information:
For more information on Pattonville's budget, view the presentation to the Board of Education and supporting budget book on the district's BoardDocs website. Look for the materials under the June 13 meeting agendas.

OAKLAND — The Oakland Raiders have a super fan who has turned the definition of a tailgate party upside down.
For more than a decade, M.O.B. Charities founder Gregory "Griz" Jones has been throwing weekend-long tailgate parties across the street from the Oakland Coliseum's 66th Avenue gate that benefit local nonprofits, build community spirit and feed the homeless.
M.O.B., which stands for Make Oakland Better, or Make Others Better when it's helping groups outside Oakland, stages promotional events for other charities year-round but is best known for its tailgate fundraisers on a stretch of 66th Avenue at Coliseum Way known as M.O.B. Alley, home of the 66th M.O.B.
The tailgate parties start the night before the Raiders' preseason home games, and run over two nights during the regular season. Each tailgate works to benefit a local nonprofit's needs, whether it be supplies, cash or volunteers. Everyone and anyone — unless they're a troublemaker — is welcome to come and eat for free, Raiders fan or not. Jones has been feeding the homeless at his overnight tailgates since 1999, and began using the gatherings to help nonprofits since the inception of M.O.B. Charities in 2003.
He's also the founder of the "Forever Oakland" movement, dedicated to getting the Oakland Raiders a new stadium built in Oakland.
"M.O.B., in a nutshell, is a combination of my desire to be a fan for humanity and make the world a better place, and my experience of being an Oakland Raiders fan since I was a child," said Jones, a 44-year-old Bay Area native with roots in the East and South Bay. "I am a deeply spiritual person and, like with everything I do in my life, my job has to be spirit-driven."
Jones feeds fans, out-of-towners, city workers and really anyone who comes by with donations from companies and volunteers. Everyone eats for free, with an option of making a cash donation. His annual opening weekend festival Sept. 11-14, in recognition of the first regular-season home opener, will have various charities on hand giving out information. After that, each home game weekend tailgate will be dedicated to a specific charity.
"One of the things I really appreciate about the M.O.B. is that they serve anybody," said Samantha Kahn, program director at the Alameda Food Back, for which the 66th M.O.B. does turkey and food drives every holiday season. "They don't have any requirements about who you are and where you are from to have a good time with them.
"They clearly do good work feeding people on the streets. I know they feed a lot of vets. They are a good bunch of folks."
Montera Middle School Assistant Principal Ashanti Branch started going to the tailgates in 2009 to see if the M.O.B. would be a good partner for his nonprofit, the Ever Forward Club, that helps underserved and at-risk youth. He immediately liked the positive energy at M.O.B. Alley and wanted to share the experience with his students and their families.
Now, every November, the 66th M.O.B. hosts the Ever Forward Club's food and clothing drive for the homeless and Branch, as the executive director of a growing organization, has learned a lot from Jones about asking for support from the community.
"Inside the stadium, I don't think Griz sits down the whole time. I think he's yelling the entire game, he leaves with no voice. He's all about his team," Branch said. "When he goes back to the alley, he's all about the community. It's about how do I build up the city that we're in.
"He has a huge heart and the community space he creates makes people want to be there," Branch said. "People are always passing through but on some nights I will swing by at 11 p.m. and he'll be the only one there, sitting at the fire roasting a hot dog."
Peggy Holmes, who lives in Washington, D.C., said that when she founded her local booster club, the D.C. Metro Raiders in 2002, she reached out to the Raider Nation for help. Jones quickly became a mentor.
He taught her how to make her club a charitable organization, and all the business aspects that entails. Holmes was impressed by Jones' use of email, social media and the 66th M.O.B. YouTube channel to keep the Raider Nation and other supporters abreast of all their work and keep them engaged. Members of her group stop by M.O.B. Alley when they visit Oakland.
"He was 3,000 miles away and he didn't know us, but he was always available to us. He wanted us to succeed," Holmes said. "That, to me, is reflective of the kind of person he is. Even to strangers, he will reach out and help."

Explosion Proof Motors Classification Essay
Selecting a motor for a location where potentially explosive gases or vapors are present as a normal part of a manufacturing process can be a daunting task.
Hazardous locations are operating environments in which explosive or ignitable vapors or dust are present, or are likely to become present. In such environments, you need special motors to ensure that any internal fault in the motor will not ignite the vapor or dust. The National Electrical Code (NEC) covers hazardous locations in Chapter 5.
"Explosionproof" doesn't necessarily apply to a motor, just because it operates in a hazardous location. Explosionproof motors are only those approved for Class I locations. Those are the locations where potentially explosive gases or vapors are present as a normal part of a manufacturing process, instead of an unusual condition. If the hazardous material could result from only a ruptured container or some other unusual condition, then you have a Division 2 location instead.
A Class I motor tries to contain an explosion within itself without rupturing. After the initial pressure buildup on ignition, the hot gas must cool by passing through long, tight passageways (flame paths) before escaping from the motor. The temperature of gas escaping from the motor will be less than the minimum ignition temperature (MIT) of the gases or vapors in the atmosphere surrounding the motor.
Meaning of motor class designations. Every motor approved for hazardous locations carries an Underwriters' Laboratories' label that identifies it as suitable for operation in Class I or Class II locations. Some motors may carry approval for both Class I and Class II locations. The Class identifies the physical characteristics of the hazardous materials present where the motor will operate.
Class I covers gases, vapors, or liquids that are explosive or pose a threat as ignitable mixtures. A familiar example of a Class I material is gasoline. It's explosive as a vapor and ignitable as a liquid.
Class II covers dusts. Specifically, it covers electrically conductive dusts and dust in amounts sufficient to create explosive mixtures. A prime example of a hazardous dust is wheat flour. As a compact mass, flour burns or smolders. When finely distributed in air, it's highly explosive. Also included in Class II are electrically conductive metallic dust such as aluminum and nonmetallic dusts, such as pulverized coal. Aluminum and magnesium dusts can burn violently even when not suspended in air. When airborne, they're explosive.
Class III covers ignitable fibers or materials producing combustible flyings. These locations don't normally require hazardous-location motors. Specifying a hazardous-location motor for Class III locations is a common error. Class III materials are not normally airborne, because they are fairly heavy and settle rapidly. They are, however, quite flammable. Thus, they create a potentially hazardous condition when near electrical equipment. Some common Class III substances include baled waste kapok, cocoa fiber, cotton, excelsior, hemp, jute, rayon, sawdust, and Spanish moss.
The NEC allows you to use a totally enclosed fan-cooled or nonventilated motor in Class III locations. This gives you a cost-savings in purchase price. The NEC also allows you to use an open drip-proof motor in Class III locations, if you can prove to the AHJ you will employ proper housekeeping.
Meaning of group designations. Within Class I and Class II only, various combustible substances fall into group designations, based on their behavior after ignition. Group designations A through D are in descending order according to the stringency of motor design requirements for explosive vapors and gases. Group A motors have the longest flame paths and tightest fits. Actually, no Group A or B motors are in production. One justification for Sec. 500-5(a)(2) Ex. 1 and 2 is it allows you a way to take a normally Group B classification for butadiene and certain ethers and use Group C or even Group D equipment. You'll need these exceptions if you're specifying motors for these locations. Groups A through D fall within Class 1, and Groups E, F, and G fall within Class II.
Gasoline and acetylene provide an illustration of the group concept. Both are Class I substances. Acetylene is a Group A substance. Gasoline falls within Group D. MIT of gasoline is 280øC (536øF), slightly below the 350øC (581øF) MIT of acetylene. An acetylene explosion is more intense than a gasoline explosion, so acetylene is in a group well above gasoline. The 1999 NEC uses the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) values and the minimum igniting current (MIC) ratios to establish group classifications. If you look at Sec. 500-5(a), you can see what the actual ranges are for each group classification.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking Class I transcends Class II. It's not true that a Class I motor will automatically satisfy any Class II requirement. A Class I motor's design focuses on confining the effects of an internal motor explosion. This design rests on the assumption that, over time, normal heating and cooling will cause the motor to breathe the surrounding atmosphere. This means the atmosphere within the motor will eventually become the same as that of the operating environment. A subsequent internal fault, therefore, can cause an explosion.
The design of a Class II motor focuses on maintaining the motor's surface temperature at a level such that Class II materials in the motor's operating environment will not heat up to their MIT. If the operating environment contains both Class I and Class II substances, you must specify a dual-rated Class I/Class II motor.
Meaning of division. Hazardous locations break down even further, into Division 1 and Division 2. Simply stated, a Division 1 location is one in which ignitable substances are likely to be present continuously or intermittently during normal operations. In a Division 2 location, operators handle and store ignitable materials in a manner that allows the combustible substance to escape in the event of spill or equipment failure.
Division distinctions focus primarily on the NEC's required installation procedures. Class I and Class II motors for hazardous locations have no Division designation on the UL label. All Class I and Class II motors meet Division I requirements and are thus suitable for installation in both Division 1 and Division 2 locations.
New hazardous-location motor T codes. All motors manufactured after February 1975 carry a T code designation. The T code identifies the maximum absolute motor surface temperature that will develop under all conditions of operation, including motor overload and even burnout.
The T code designation of the motor must correlate with the MIT of the substances in the motor's operating environment. The presence of acetone or gasoline, for example, will affect motor selection. Acetone and gasoline are both Class 1, Group D materials. Acetone has an MIT of 465øC (869øF). Table 3 shows us that a motor with a T1 rating (450øC maximum surface temperature) would be acceptable for operation in an acetone environment.
Gasoline, however, has an MIT of 280øC (536øF). For operation in an environment containing gasoline, the minimum motor you can specify is a T2A motor. This motor's design limits surface temperature 280øC. Although the T codes and ignition temperatures are conservative, you should provide an extra margin of safety by specifying a T2B motor. This motor's design limits surface temperature to 260øC (500øF).
Additional sources of information. Two other publications of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) will help you select the right motor. NFPA publication 497 provides a comprehensive listing for hazardous gas applications, while NFPA publication 499 provides a comprehensive listing for hazardous dust applications.
The field service representative of your insurance underwriter can also provide advice. This person has access to a large base of other motor specifiers and users, and may be able to help you do more with less. If you're uncertain that your motor will be safe in the environment in which it must operate, always consult your insurance company and the motor manufacturer for assistance. Never guess - lives are at stake.

The logo should have an oak tree as the main focal point. The oak tree symbolizes strength, growth, rooted with strong foundation.
The oak tree should not be too contemporary or sylized. A more classic, traditional treatment of the logo will be a better reflection of the culture and established credibility of the group.
The Type treatment should consist of: 1. The Center (larger text) 2. for Executive Leadership (smaller sub text)
The tree can be contained in a p[articular shape and treated in any number of ways. The logo can contain the entire tree or can be cropped into a tighter view of the oak tree (see examples). The logo will be utilzed on stationery, golf shirts, hats, and conventional print and digital applications.
NOTE: I have attached a "very rough" start point concept. The design is too flat and too boring and definately needs to reflect more creative and design richness.
