Captain's ReportCrestliner 1750 Sport AnglerBy Gary P. JoyceCrestliner has been in the boat building business for 60 years, and the marque has been synonymous with innovation in the aluminum boat market. While many of these innovations show up on the company's top-of-the-line models, you'll always find something unique and innovative across the model line. The 1750 Sport Angler is no different. This boat is designed as a multi-purpose boat to handle cruising around the lake, maybe a little towing and definitely some fishing without sacrificing one specialty for the other; it's also an ideal family boat.ConstructionThe 1750 Sport Angler features Crestliner's UniWeld computer controlled hull-building system. The result is a hull that has a solid no-flex feel and comes with a lifetime warranty on the welds for the original owner. The bottom is .100 gauge aluminum, the sides are .090 and the transom.125.Because the 1750 is welded, it lacks those Frankenstein-esque bolts all over the place – which for those of you who transit rough dirt (or potholed city) roads does away with a chance of the hull fastening loosening up. Adding toughness from the inside out, the 1750's stringer system is interlocking and then welded to the hull and any hull plate features a tongue-in-channel method of connecting before welding. A hidden benefit the design and strength is the way the boat retains its looks: because there is so little flex, the baked-on Armor Guard paint won't flex and thus the paint doesn't crack, chip or peel as on riveted boats.Great InnovationAs noted, Crestliner is an innovative outfit. The 1750 Sport Angler comes with two of their Concept DX chairs and seven chair positions including the helm/passenger seats in which to plug them. The Concept seats were ergonomically designed to provide 33 percent better weight support than most marine seats and the seat bottom is 100 percent waterproof. Another interesting aspect of the Concept seats is the integral handgrips under the seat bottom. They fall perfectly to hand and give you a place to hang on when the going gets rough. A clever idea, that.The windshield on the 1750 can also be considered an innovation, because it actually works as a windshield, not as a design feature as on smaller boats. Sit behind this windshield and there's no need to turn your cap backwards to keep it on your head. It's high, vision is undistorted, and the frame corners are rounded – if you've ever caught the side of your head on the pointed corner of a windshield frame, you'll really appreciate this.There is plenty of storage and the storage lids are all coated with Crest Liner to knock down noise and assist in preventing corrosion. All the hinges use full-length piano hinges for durability. There is a 27-gallon aerated livewell (which will make a great cooler, too) located on the aft casting deck and there is rod storage on the port side of the cockpit. There is also a livewell on the forward casting platform as well as more storage boxes, one of which can be used to house a battery for an optional trolling motor; the outlet for the motor is already there.Helm FeaturesThe helm is well designed and functional. All the gauges are located directly in front of the driver and there is room for a fish finder to be bracket mounted on the upper right of the dashboard. An AM/FM/CD falls to hand low to the driver's right and there is a rather unique wraparound switch panel with rocker style switches and circuit breakers leading back to the throttle.The only option you might want to consider is the canvas sun top that folds into its own carrying case. It's a pretty neat idea, especially for terrain where the sun can do some serious damage.HandlingThe 1750 features a 17-degree variable deadrise design; one thing we noticed is that it got a little squirrelly a top speed. We had a 115-horsepower four-stroke Mercury powering this boat and maybe it was a bit much for it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it would allow you to drop down some in horsepower. This means a drop in some expenditures as well (and with the cost of a gallon of gas, less expenditure in that department as well). We weren't able to figure out why it got antsy at speed, although it's possible the engine could have been the wrong shaft size; the transom is a 25-incher. The rest of the boats behavior however was solid and predictable, so maybe it was the driver. We tested the 1750 Sport Angler on Lake Darling, Minnesota, where our Merc, propped with a 13.25 x 17 Black Max prop, achieved a top speed of 39.9 mph at 5200 rpm. Noise level at top speed was 90 decibels. Cruise speed came in at 3500 rpm and clocked 24.2 mph on the radar gun. At cruise the boat had a 180-mile range. The 1750 Sport Angler is 17 feet, one inch length over all and sports an 89-inch beam. She weighs in at 1,300 pounds and has a 33-gallon gas tank. It has a carrying capacity of 1,305 pounds.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Crestliner Sport Angler 1750 (2006-) is 39.9 mph (64.2 kph), burning 10.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 38.23 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Crestliner Sport Angler 1750 (2006-) is 24.2 mph (38.9 kph), and the boat gets 6.05 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.57 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 180 miles (289.68 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 115-hp Mercury 4-stroke EFI.

1999 Dodge Durago Viper V10 Engine - Heavy Metal Mudder Phase IIPosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2009
One of the best things about building a truck with 2 1/2-ton Rockwell axles is being able to throw obnoxious amounts of power at them. That's not to say they'll never break, but they're certainly not a weak link either.
With the factory powertrain plucked from our '99 Dodge Durango (aka Monster Mudder, aka Heavy Metal Mudder), we went searching for new horses from a completely different stable. We wanted to use Mopar muscle, but desired to do something different than a Hemi swap. So we went after the ground-shaking power from Dodge's flagship car, the Viper. Hemi engines make good power, but there is just something about a 505ci V-10 that makes us feel giddy as a fat kid at Chuck E. Cheese on his birthday.
Our first challenge was figuring out if this swap was even possible. Sure, anything's possible, but sometime's the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost. After spending some long hours on the phone with expert Viper tech Tom Sessions, we were able to determine that the 8.3L Gen III engine would be the easiest to swap in.
What makes the 8.3L the best is that it was available in the SRT-10 Dodge Ram with the automatic 48RE transmission. This meant we could easily bolt everything together, make it 4WD, and that there is a factory engine and transmission controller. We'll spend more time on the electronics in another issue, but for now we'll focus on actually getting the engine fitted inside the Durango.
At National Speed in Wilmington, North Carolina, the crew at Momentum Performance lent us a hand with some of the fabrication. Momentum specializes in twin turbo kits and high-performance mods for a slew of go-fast autos. While National Speed is a complete service shop, when it came time to recreate a firewall and build a custom set of headers, we decided to bring in Momentum to help us meet our deadline.
Be sure to check back with us next month as we continue the shoehorn process and begin making way for the remainder of the drivetrain pieces.

The Viper Stork
When it comes to the Dodge Viper, few companies know more about it than Arrow Racing Engines. Arrow started more than 30 years ago to support all aspects of Chrysler Motorsports, performance parts, and production. The company was on the ground floor when the first Viper project was conceived in 1989. Now owned by Power-Tec Engineering, Arrow is the official Viper engine warranty center and has a customer engine service program that allows you to have your Gen I to Gen IV engine built and serviced. Arrow can also provide you with a complete replacement engine. In addition to a friendly and knowledgeable staff, Arrow has a huge selection of past and current Viper parts. It was our number-one source for getting everything from the correct SRT-10 throttle body to the rear sump oil pan.

New research method provides better insights into the world of microbes
|(Nanowerk News) A team of Luxembourg-based researchers, working at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine, has developed a research method that will allow scientists to study microbes in more depth than ever before (see paper in The ISME Journal: "A biomolecular isolation framework for eco-systems biology").
|Microbes, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, are invisible to the human eye but have been identified just about everywhere on earth: in soil, water, and air. Many different types of microbes usually live closely together in microbial communities.
|Microbial communities also reside in the human body, which is home to trillions of these tiny organisms. Biologists have long suggested that microbes in the human body can cause or contribute to some human diseases, such as diabetes. The new research method might soon be able to prove this hypothesis.
|In order for us to understand the impact that microbes might have on human health, we need to be able to measure the biomolecular information contained within the DNA, RNA (ribonucleic acid), proteins, and small molecules of microbes in a truly systematic way. This was not possible until now, explains Dr. Paul Wilmes, who runs the Eco-Systems Biology lab at the LCSB.
|Using the method described by Wilmes, researchers can, for the first time, measure and integrate all the important biomolecular information from a single sample, providing scientists with high-resolution molecular snapshots of microbial communities in, for example, the human stomach and intestine.
|The research method developed by Wilmes can also be applied to microbial communities found in other environments. In this particular study, authors used, for example, microbes that grow in wastewater treatment plants and that accumulate large amounts of high-energy fats. By using Wilmes new research method, scientist can do in-depth studies on these communities. Once these microbial communities are better understood, we might be able to exploit these communities for the comprehensive reclamation of energy-rich fats from wastewater, says Dr. Paul Wilmes.
|This work was carried out within the realm of a Luxembourg National Research Fund ATTRACT grant.

Anyone remember what Chandler's job was in the sitcom Friends?
This phenomenon has been replicated in the psychology lab countless times and explained by that staple of the undergraduate psychology diet – the Bruce and Young serial model of face recognition – which states names are stored separately from other knowledge about a person, and that names can only be retrieved after enough of that knowledge has been accessed.
But now Lesley Calderwood and Mike Burton have challenged this account. They've shown that for people who we're extremely familiar with, we're actually quicker to recall their name than other information about them.
They recruited 24 undergrads who confessed to being hard-core fans of the American sitcom Friends, watching approximately two hours of it per week. Participants first read aloud the names and occupations of the six main characters. Next they were shown the faces of the characters and in one condition had to name them as fast as possible, and in another they had to state their occupation as quick as they could. They were faster at naming the characters than stating their occupation.
The researchers also repeated this observation with children, using pictures of the children's classmates. The children were quicker to name their classmates than say which maths group they were in.
"One reason why the name disadvantage may be reversed for highly familiar faces is the frequency with which their names are retrieved in our day-to-day lives", Calderwood and Burton explained. This also applies to programmes we watch regularly. "We are much more likely to have heard the [characters'] names Ross and Rachel than to have heard about their jobs over the years of watching Friends", they said.
The finding supports parallel models of face processing which don't propose information about a person is accessed in a sequential manner.
Oh and in case you were wondering, Chandler was apparently in advertising.
Calderwood, L. & Burton, A.M. (2006). Children and adults recall the names of highly familiar faces faster than semantic information. British Journal of Psychology, 97, 441-454.

Chandler was initially in data-processing at managerial level. Then he had a 'mid-life' crisis and dropped out and became an unpaid advertising intern.

- Marcel Patoulatchi said...
... and afterwards got a paid job in the same company.
That being said, I usually forgot characters names while I watch a lot of TV series, while I remember correctly plenty of events involving these characters I forgot the name of.
I do not remember the name of half of Star Trek Enteprise I watched recently, I remember only a few names of characters of the Shield, I forgot all the names of characters in The Practice.
So I tend to be dubious about the Lesley Calderwood and Mike Burton thoery.
- 7:33 pm
I seem to remember that the other characters also did not know what Chandler did. They had little interest in his occupation. However, ask people what the characters ate when they were stuck in Monica's room while Ross and Rachel had a row and they will probably be able to tell you that.

Sleek released this collection for autumn 2013 a couple of weeks ago consisting of a blush (around £4.50) and 12-shade iDivine eyeshadow palette (around £8). I really loved the look of the eyeshadows which I thought looked perfect for autumn but I wasn't sure if I was going to pick up the blush or not. When I swatched it on the back of my hand in the shop though it was so sparkly and pretty looking I decided to pick it up as well.
The products come in brightly decorated cardboard boxes with a lovely rustic autumnal theme. They definitely say autumn but I'm not sure how well they match the theme of "Vintage Romance". However the products themselves come in the usual plain black plastic packaging, with the shade names printed on the backs.
I really love the eyeshadow palette which is my current favourite, the colour selection suits the current weather and daylight so well with its selection of decadent jewel and earth tones. The shades come in a finish of shimmer, matte and metallic finishes. As is Sleek's normal practise these days the palette comes with a plastic overlay with the shade names printed on it. As I usually take a photo of this for my blog I just throw the plastic overlay away as I can always check on my computer afterwards if I want to know what a particular shade name is and I find it quite annoying to have to deal with every time I open the palette.
Maybe the text isn't so clear in the photo above so I'll type the names out here for reference.
Top row, left to right: Pretty in Paris, Meet in Madrid, Court in Cannes, Lust in LA, Romance in Rome, Propose in Prague
Bottom row, left to right: A Vow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo, Honeymoon in Hollywood, Bliss in Barcelona, Forever in Florence, Love in London
I actually think that the names are quite cute!
Here's a better shot of the colours in the palette, this time with the plastic overlay removed.
And here are the shadows swatched on my forearm, in the same order as they appear in the palette.
As you can see – wonderful colours, wonderful pigmentation – just wonderful!
I'm not quite so enamoured with the blush, Antique. It's a very warm brown, but the shimmer is blue and I'm just not convinced that the brown and the shimmer actually go well together. The first time I wore this blush on my cheeks I used way too much and thought it looked awful. Since then I've trained myself to start by applying a tiny amount and building the colour up if I want more intensity. The more you buff this colour over the skin the more it acts as a highlighter as the shimmer becomes more apparent. It's quite an interesting effect, but I'm not sure I'm a fan. Perhaps due to the blue it would work better on cooler skintones (my skintone is very warm). It is very pigmented though so I might try it out as an eyeshadow.
My current favourite colour combination from the eyeshadow palette is Court in Cannes paired with Honeymoon in Hollywood. The purple is so intense that I was worried it might stain my lids but I wear it over a primer and it's simple to remove with some make-up remover. The shadows last all day on me worn over an eyeshadow base. In the photo below I'm also wearing a tiny bit of the blush which you can see ever so slightly on my cheekbones and the tip of my nose.
Oh and I've just noticed that this eyeshadow compliments the hoodie that I'm wearing which is good as it's one of my favourites, ha! An added bonus.

The police department's Robbery Unit and the FBI are investigating the Nov. 21 robbery of the American West Bank in the Roseville/Fleetridge neighborhood, during which the suspect claimed to have a bomb.
The man entered the bank on Rosecrans Street and demanded money around 5 p.m. before placing the device on the counter and fleeing.
Officers arrived and determined the device to be a fake.
The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and thin with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a gray beret, gray striped shirt, denim shorts, flip-flops and carrying a black backpack.
Man who robbed teens of cellphones to learn fate
An Ocean Beach man is awaiting sentencing Dec. 19 after pleading guilty to robbing two 14-year-olds of their cell phones at knifepoint on Oct. 29.
Gibran Torres Perez, 19, could get up to four years in prison under an agreement he made with San Diego Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring, according to court records.
At the time of the robbery, Perez was on probation for a stabbing of a 20-year-old man that took place on Newport Avenue on April 14. The victim suffered injuries to the neck, hands and head.
Perez pleaded guilty to felony assault in that earlier incident and had been sentenced to 180 days in jail.
His probation has since been revoked in light of the October knifepoint robberies.
Perez could receive more jail time for violating probation, but records indicate the judge may impose only a concurrent sentence for the violation.

PLNU takes second in hunger food drive
Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) took second place in this year's Colleges Rock Hunger food drive, sponsored by the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. PLNU students donated about 4,500 pounds of food, a 5,598 percent increase from last year's 80 pounds.
The dramatic increase can be partially attributed to the new opportunities for donations available through PLNU dining services and to students doing a "walk and knock" campaign in local neighborhoods. Donations were also received at PLNU's annual Fall Festival community event, online and in the local Point Loma Fresh and Easy.
PLNU placed second to San Diego State University. The winning schools achieved the highest amount of donations calculated as pounds-per-student. PLNU gave the equivalent of 1.3 pounds per student.
OBMA readying 2013-14 directories for merchants
As 2012 comes to a close, the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) is preparing the local merchant directory that OBMA produces every two years. Members of the association are given a listing in the book and listed in up to three different business categories.
The OBMA office will be distributing packets to each current member. Information will be provided based on what is currently listed for the business. OBMA officials said it's up to each member to confirm or make changes to the paperwork and get it returned by the deadline.
New to the program this year is an opportunity to purchase web advertising through the directory signup process. As an incentive, the OBMA has decided to offer the December 2012 ad rates until the end of 2014.
Packets will be distributed in the next two weeks and will be due in December.
PLA honors outstanding community partners
The Point Loma Association (PLA), long an active beautification organization bringing dedication, civic service and cohesion to the Peninsula, honored a host of community partners and contributors during its annual PLA Awards Dinner gala on Oct. 4.
Here are winners of this year's beautification awards:
• Point Loma Seafoods — outstanding architecture
• La Playa Trail Association — Chinese Fisherman's Monument (Ned Daugherty, designer)

La Playa Trail Association to hosts history talks
Beginning Jan. 22, The La Playa Trail Association will launch a series of informative programs to share the history of the Point Loma area. The first in the bimonthly series will be at the Point Loma Assembly, located at 3035 Talbot St., and will feature Dr. Stephen A. Colston discussing "The End of the Trail."
The La Playa Trail begins or ends at Ballast Point, depending on your viewpoint. The Kumeyaay Indians long used the trail to go to the coast from their inland settlements. European ships moored at Ballast Point and the sailors walked into Old Town along the trail.
Colston, a member of the Department of History of San Diego State University, is a specialist in the history of Colonial Spanish North America and will share a perspective from the Spanish artillery battery at Ballast Point.
The evening will begin with light refreshments at 5:30 p.m. and the program at 6 p.m. Donations of $10 will be accepted at the door.
The focus of the La Playa Trail Association is the area between Ballast Point and Presidio hill, where one original marker has been refurbished and two new monuments built. The most recent monument honors the 19th century Chinese fisherman who lived and built their junks at a site along the trail.

Dec 09, 2013
By Jamie McGee
original article: The Tennessean
With the cost of college rising and many graduates not any closer to knowing what they want to do with their lives after they graduate, Betsy Wills saw a need and an opportunity.
She and Courage Capital Management co-founder Richard Patton created YouScience, a company focused on helping young people determine a career path that most aligns with their strengths and interests. The Brentwood-based company launched Latitude last week, a product that gives students a clearer picture of what careers they best fit and what education is needed to pursue them. Latitude, led by YouScience CEO Philip Hardin, is an online platform that measures the interests and the natural abilities of an individual based on a two-hour online assessment and distills those results into a range of compatible career choices. The idea is that job success is more likely if someone pursues a career for which they are naturally suited.
"Now that college has gotten unbelievably expensive, the stakes have become very high for young people as they enter a very expensive education process," Wills said. "If we can reach these families before they have invested a tremendous amount in this education, we can really help them more."
The Latitude assessment examines a user's strengths through exercises in 14 different aptitudes, from idea generating to vocabulary to sequential reasoning. Students can read what each aptitude means and how it translates into the workforce.
Students also can explore a range of 500 different jobs, including those that are identified as "strong" and "good" fits for them, and examine the number of people in the field, the education or training needed, degrees that would prepare them, projections for job openings over a 10-year period, salary ranges and related careers.
"We want young people to begin with the end in mind," said Hardin, a former executive at Emdeon and WebMD. "We will help them confidently know what are those next steps."
Current career tests are based on self-reported data or on personal interests, whereas Latitude, which costs $399, encompasses both interests and abilities and can determine objective, valid results, Hardin said.
While a person of any age can benefit from Latitude, its target market is those ages 16 to 26 who are in their "defining decade," according to Hardin.
YouScience, with 26 full-time employees, has raised $8.5 million and will seek another $6 million in the coming year to expand operations and further develop its products. The company is focusing on growing in eight cities including Boston, New Orleans, Nashville and Atlanta.
In 2014, Hardin plans to expand nationwide, as well as roll out a second product that enables employers to more effectively identify and attract talent among recent graduates. The product includes a skills test assessing critical reasoning, problem solving, team work, interpersonal skills and situational judgment, things an employer can't determine from a resume, and will help companies narrow the pool from which to interview.
Additional Facts
Majority of college grads don't work in field of study.
A study released earlier this year by researchers with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found some interesting statistics related to college majors and employment. Post-Great Recession, the study found that:
Close to 62.1 percent of college graduates in the labor force work in a job requiring a college degree but only 27.3 percent in a job that is directly related to their college major.

As Seahawks fans we get to root an up and coming elite QB, making a statement in Wilson. Then, we can gleefully and without guilt, root for the greatest QB and maybe male of all-time, in Tom Brady?
Also, assumimg the Hawks hold serve, it'll be VERY nice to see what Coach Hoodie has in store for Harbaugh. Bill wants this, bad, to prevent a NY Giants type edge over his team. Plus, it doesn't appear Harbaugh is a favorite within the NFL coaching fraternity.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Corsica Joe and Sara Lee may very well be wrestling's most long-standing couple. Joe and Lee recently celebrated 43 years of marriage last month.
Born Francois Miquet in Bonbillett, France on January 17, 1920; Joe played soccer until he was eighteen, at which time he became interested in boxing.
"I boxed for two years, from '38 until the war started," Joe said. "I won five or six matches by knockout. In the last match, I hit a guy and his eye popped out of socket. It just laid down against his cheek. I got so scared. I said, 'No more boxing for me.'"
After an introduction to amateur wrestling, Joe spent six years in the French Artillery. In January 1946, Joe received his discharge and returned to school. However, he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Felix Miquet, and become a professional wrestler.
"I trained for two years in France," stated Joe. "They stretched me from one end to the other."
Then in 1948, Joe went to Canada to work for Paul and Bob Lortie where he held the Canadian Junior Heavyweight title for two years before heading to New York to work for Toots Mondt, Rudy Miller and Milo Steinborn. From there, he moved to Calgary to work for Stu Hart. Joe eventually returned to France for a few years until he ventured back to the U.S. and formed a tag team with Jean Louis Roy in Florida.
Corsica Joe and Corsica Jean, also known as the Corsica Brothers, wrestled throughout the U.S. from 1957 to the early 1960s. It was during this time Lee and Joe met one another.
Born Sarah Ray in Gainesboro, Tennessee on November 19, 1931, Lee moved to Nashville and started work at age 14 as a waitress at the Tick-Tock Restaurant.
"I was running the Tick-Tock Restaurant in Nashville when I met Joe," Lee recalled. "The wrestling office was downtown near where I worked and that's how we got started. We've had a good life together and I still love him a lot."
When asked if it was love at first sight, Joe commented, "maybe, I guess...I did good to keep Sara straight."
Jerry Jarrett, co-founder of TNA, was working for promoters Nick Gulas and Roy Welch during the Corsica Brothers run in Tennessee.
"My early memories of Joe was as a tag team with his brother," Jarrett told SLAM! Wrestling. "They were a rough and rugged team. Joe helped me with the lesson of respect. I had been wrestling less than a year when I was booked against Joe in Memphis at the old Ellis Auditorium. I was a huge fan of Jackie Fargo. Jackie would entertain the fans with his antics before the match got serious. One such antic was to kick his opponent in the butt. I thought this was a cute move, so I tried it in my match with Joe. Joe, however, did not think it was so funny and I found myself in the most awkward position of having my own butt pressed against my face. After the match, I told Joe that I did not mean to disrespect him and that I had seen Jackie Fargo do the same thing. Joe replied, 'You're not Jackie Fargo. When you wrestle as long and draw as much money, you can kick my ass, not before.'
Lee's first match was the result of Nick Gulas being short a female for a mixed tag match. With no substitute readily available, Gulas booked Lee for the match.
"It was me and another wrestler against Bob Boyer and Cora Combs," Lee said. "I remember Bob Boyer picking me up and throwing me across the ring. I got the biggest mat burn there ever was. I didn't know nothin' when I got there because I never had any real training. I learned everything in the ring."
Both Joe and Lee retired from in ring action in the 1970s, but have remained an active part of the business often working the front door at the Nashville Fairgrounds in the past for Bert Prentice. TNA fans might remember seeing Sarah "The Ticket Lady" beating up on the Dupps during the Dupp Cup hardcore matches along with other various segments.
Like Jarrett, Prentice has a soft spot for Joe and Lee. "My history goes back more than the ticket window," said Prentice. "I've wrestled Sarah many times -- and she always won!"
Jarrett gave this thoughts on Joe and Sarah's legacy. "I'd say Joe and Sarah will be remembered for their loyalty...loyalty to each other for so many years and loyalty to their friends. Seldom will one have such friends in life."
Reflecting on their career and life together, Lee said, "Joe and I made a lot of friends in the wrestling business. We wouldn't trade it for anything and wish we could do it all over again."
Joe and Lee currently reside in Old Hickory, Tennessee where they are happily retired and attend the occasional wrestling show in the Nashville area.
Ryan Nation likes both Pepsi and Coke. He also aspires to work on the creative and production side of wrestling someday, someway. Until then, he is going to do what most English-Journalism graduates do...starve.

As far as I can tell it's the gate to the building itself, of which the arena is merely a part. You'll notice that the outside door is quite large, dwarfing Rickert and Locus, while the door by which they enter the arena is human-sized. Futhermore, they enter the arena from the top of the spectator area, and we can see that there is also an entrance down below for the contestants themselves. That implies that they traveled a while inside the structure before reaching the arena, a moment conveniently left out of the reader's sight while we were with Erica and the others.
I don't know if we'll ever find out, but I'd like to see whoever goes out and cages these creatures and how they do it.
They probably don't need a cage. Chains might work. And the giant apostles (led by Grunberd) likely wouldn't have many issues wrangling an ogre.
Just a reminder that the digital issue of Young Animal with Ep 336 is now available for $3: http://www.hakusensha-e.net/vtop?id=3225Here's Aazealh's guide on how to navigate the site and buy it: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=14329
Something strange happens in this episode, and I don't quite know what to make of it yet...Normally when unlikely bouts of chance occur, we attribute them to causality. But seeing Erica, Daiba and Luca drawn together like this -- three people linked by Guts, could this also be causality at work? And if so, to what end?
Seeing characters who will probably have a good relationship with Guts forming in Falconia may be the start to some type of resistance against Griffith.
So who are your bets on for the interloper in Falconia? I'm guessing it'll be something anticlimactic like Rakshas causing mischief rather than an actual enemy of Griffith.
But I'm speechless over this Garuda speculation. He has been locked in the barn the past two episodes. When did he have the opportunity to escape and rough up guards before being transformed into a horse by Daiba?
I don't see what reason Rakshas could possibly have to attack two guards in the castle. I guess we could imagine it as a ploy to get Owen away, a favor to Locus so that he could give Rickert his little tour and speech. But that's a stretch, since Locus could have probably done it anyway.
Well this is a bit off-topic but ; I always hear about people talking about "God Hands Plans" , is this a real thing? I dont think that the God Hand are always chilling together thinking of evil things to enslave mankind or get "more power". Well... now that I think about it I guess they would like a little anarchy.
Bakiraka or Tapasa are still the most likely candidates to pull off an infiltration to the palace. As for it being "reckless," Im sure they planned out the attack. And it's not as if a few guards are a challenge for the Tapasa.
If it's not them, then it could be something unknown. But Rakshas makes almost zero sense to me... Why would he even need to infiltrate anything at all...?
The guards aren't a match for them, no, but the Apostles on the other hand? I get the impression that Silat & co. would be more likely to lay low for awhile and watch how things unfold before making any sudden moves.
When we don't know Rakshas's true motive, or the complete limits of Falconia, there's only guesswork as to what he's up to. You could well be right and it'll turn out to be the Bakiraka, it's perfectly deductive, it just seemed a little too predictable at this stage.
It's becoming predictable to me when people point at Rakshas whenever absolutely anything mysterious happens.

I've been retired for four years.
On the whole, I like retirement a lot. It has its downsides, however, like not being able to remember what day it is.
Recently my wife, Hedy, and I were having dinner at a Newport Beach restaurant after taking in "The Hunger Games" at the Regency Lido Theater. Hedy, a former schoolteacher, has been retired for 3½ years.
We had a particularly good server that night. When she stopped by our table to collect her gratuity, Hedy said, "Thank you so much, and have a wonderful weekend."
Without giving it a second thought, the server replied, "You have a great weekend too."
I shook my head in amazement.
"Hedy," I said, "it's Monday. Why would you wish her a good weekend when her weekend is a week away?"
As retirees, we're used to weekends that extend from horizon to horizon.
She broke into a sheepish grin.
"It's only Monday, eh?" Hedy responded. "Well, it feels like a Friday, don't you think?"
I usually know the day of the week, but I'm hopeless when it comes to determining the exact day of the month. I consider myself spot-on if I land within two or three days of the actual date — either side.
Perhaps I fail to know the precise date because, well, I have no compelling reason to possess such knowledge. It's May — need I be more explicit than that?
I have a retired friend who asserts that "spring" is to be considered "within the margin of error" this time of year. His system reduces 365 distinct data points into a much more manageable four.
The major benefit of retirement is, of course, that you largely have control of your calendar, even if you struggle to pin down the date.
In retirement, there are no dreaded meetings that offer no chance for escape. No deadlines. No need for crafting pointless written or oral reports. No evaluation interviews, surprise inspections or being called on the carpet. No tedious six-hour plane flights that end at lackluster lodgings.
You're in control!
Of course the one thing that can't be harnessed is medical visits. Seems physician appointments roll around more frequently now than at any previous time in my life. Doctors have become my best friends.
I remember a golden time at about mid-career — perhaps a stretch of a decade or so — when I went to a doctor maybe two or three times, total! That's now my monthly average.
I was a bull, a physical specimen. Sadly, I'm now painfully aware of the fact that my creaky old "bod" is no longer indestructible.
Once a month I go to lunch with a retired buddy. We attended Costa Mesa High School together in the late 1950s and early '60s.
After reminiscing for 15 minutes about girls from our halcyon high school days, we invariably shuffle into a discussion about physical ailments, recent or scheduled procedures, and latest medications.
Since retiring, I've become a voracious reader. I've now read many of the authors and books I had no time to investigate during my career: Hemingway, Tolstoy, Stephen Ambrose, Harrison Salisbury, Bruce Catton, James McPherson and David McCullough, to name a few.
There are weeks when I note that I've read a half-dozen or more titles on the current New York Times' best-seller list.
Hedy and I spend a number of afternoons monthly in the darkened recesses of local cinemas. We're up on the latest Hollywood and foreign fare.
One recent afternoon we attended a screening of "The Three Stooges." The Stooges were a youthful predilection of mine. I loved them. My 13-year-old grandson became a Stooges fan after Hedy and I gave him (much to our daughter's chagrin!) several DVDs containing vintage Stooges material.
I half expected theater seats the other day to be filled with pimply adolescents. Instead, rosacea-mottled seniors made up the enthusiastic throng. Between fistfuls of popcorn we cackled our way through the nuttiness.
"Whoo, whoo. Nyuk, nyuk. (Bonk) Ooh!"
Retirement is cool. I'm reliving my youth!
But don't expect me to know what day it is.

Tara Gordon necessitava di un nuovo design di altri e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 3 design presentati da 2 designer.
The Requeim Project: Emery Theatre; TheRequiemProject.com
Need 1 page flyer to post on bulletin boards, etc for colleges and universities. We already have full 7 page brochure which has been distributed.
Need ASAP and will give priority to early designs/declare an early win. We tried to contact our original designer, but she was not available.
The Requiem Project: Emery Theatre is the revival of a historic symphony space, which is being transformed into a multi-purpose arts center with a 1600 seat theatre, gallery space, gardens and two levels of classroom space.
In addition to being a performance venue, the company also offers high-level professional programs for working artists. This flyer is for a specific program which is "avante garde."
The main attraction is Mary Overlie, the woman who developed the VIEWPOINTS.
The company is a non-profit.
The founders are from New York City and have relocated to Cincinnati. So the look is urban and cosmopolitan; but also some-what "antique."
This is for a special workshop.
Audience is not familiar with Cincinnati. The selling point is Mary Overlie and performance credit.
Professional artists.
This flyer will be posted at Universities and arts institutions. It should stand-out in context to other flyers.
Artists will be most attracted to MARY OVERLIE'S name; she rarely teaches and so it is a very rare opportunity to work with her.
Artist's will also be attracted to performance credit at The Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
SEE Brochure attached.
The flyer should coordinate, but perhaps have more color to stand-out.
Still keep NAVY and Requiem Project pink.
MUST Have photo.
Must include:
Title: An Immersive Practicum and Performance Workshop in ViewPoints with Viewpoints originator Mary Overlie and Scott Lyons.
Date: 23 May-10 June
Place: The Requiem Project: Emery Theatre/ Cincinnati Ohio

We want to decouple definition of the application from the underlying queuing system (and operating system). This enables a number of rather nice things. You can see some of the stuff we have done here (http://scalability.org/?p=422) and here (http://scalability.org/?p=425). It ran its first (hard coded) job from web to cluster tuesday morning, and should be less hardcoded in the next week-ish. Would have liked to have shown it at SC, but this fell through (and a shameless plug for people needing a cluster/HPC demo there, feel free to ping me offline :) ) -- Joe

You never know what words might be released from a client's lips until you listen carefully to the questions posed. People harbor all sorts of ideas that might not always occur to a person in the real estate profession who deals with many aspects of the business day-in and day-out. Just goes to show that a great deal of mistrust is evident, and little gets more personal with a home seller than the home inspection.
Even when buyers are not trying to squeeze every last dime out of a seller and attempting to renegotiate price and terms mid-point in the transaction, like some out-of-control buyers seem to be doing in Sacramento, sellers are upset enough over the results of a home inspection.
It helps to put yourself into their shoes. Then you will understand how they can ask if a home inspector is creating a new job for herself or himself in the home inspection report. You can read more in my personal blog today at this link: Can a Home Inspector in Sacramento Make Repairs?

As you would expect from the brand that toasted the Grand Opening of the Eiffel Tower in 1889, Courvoisier is the perfect choice to celebrate your achievements.
Making Courvoisier is a delicate blend of art and science that combines old techniques with new technologies.
Courvoisier® VS Cognac is a blend of several crus aged between three and seven years (four to eight for Russia), composed principally of Fins Bois with a balancing hand of Petite Champagne.
"An elegant and harmonious cognac with strong notes of fresh fruit and fresh oaky taste."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
The fusion of younger and older cognacs gives Courvoisier® VS a fruity, delicate taste and a bouquet filled with ripe fruit and spring flowers.
Ripe fruits: The chalky soil in Fins Bois delivers a hint of ripened fruits that is its signature aroma.
Spring Flowers: Inhale deeply for the bouquet of spring flowers, which is a hallmark of grapes harvested at their peak from the Fins Bois crus.
Fresh Oakiness: The rich, fresh oak bouquet is controlled throughout the ageing process to make sure it doesn't dominate the young cognac.
2016 Médaille d'argent
San Francisco World Spirits Competition
2015 Gold Medal

Grande and Petite Champagnes bring harmony while Fins Bois give a floral and fruity character to Courvoisier® VSOP Cognac.
"Very smooth with an excellent balance of oak and floral flavours that can be fully appreciated neat or mixed with ice and water, it's also excellent with long drinks."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
This skillfully crafted cognac is a blend of several crus with a perfect balance between Fins Bois, Grande and Petite Champagnes at the peak of their aromatic potential.
Peach: When the cognac is distilled and aged, it begins to conjure the soft, luscious aroma of ripe peach.
Toasted almonds: After several years in our French fine-grained oak barrels, the spirit develops nutty notes and ages to produce a sweet, caramelized flavor resembling that of toasted almonds.
Jasmine: The distillation on the lees is a complex and meticulous process but it gives fruity and musk notes, evoking jasmine aroma.

Courvoisier® X.O. Cognac is a selection by our Master Blender of beautifully matured eaux de vie, aged from 11 to 25 years, to highlight the complexity and richness of cognac aromas.
"An exotic vanilla and crème brûlée bouquet, candied orange aromas and iris flowers notes, all come together to excite the senses."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
Is intensely aromatic and flavourful, with a velvety texture and aromatic bouquet, laced with hints of crème brûlée, candied orange and iris floers.
Crème Brûlée: The careful hand toasting of our barrels lends notes of vanilla and caramel that mature to evoke a warm crème brûlée aroma.
Candied Orange: Delicate ageing in oak produces this sweet aroma that originates from the Grande Champagne crus.
Iris Flower: The sweet and powerful bouquet of irises comes from matured Borderies cognac.

Complex, deep and extremely versatile, Courvoisier ® VSOP Exclusif Cognac is considered one of the finest cognacs in the world. Combining spirits from different crus in the Cognac region, it has a memorable rich and sublime flavour that's perfect for cocktails.
"This perfect aromatic balance gives a subtle and elegant cognac, appreciated neat or mixed in long drinks or cocktails"
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
The character of each individual note is shaped by its terroir, grape, cask and years of maturation.
Ginger cookies: The vines produce round and smooth eaux de vie which, after distillation on the lees, develop complex aromas with rich spicy notes.
Roasted coffee: When the coopers toast our oak casks, the charred surface not only helps the eaux-de-vie soak into the wood better, but also gives the spirit a sweet roasted flavour.
Dried plums: Deep, fruity flavours are produced in the second stage of ageing as eaux-de-vie from different crus start to fully mature with the lees retained from our meticulous distillation method.
2010 Gold
The Beverage Tasting Institute Competition
Blend of matured Grande and Petite Champagnes at their peak.
"A subtle harmony of sandalwood, dried apricots and mushroom.This voluptuous Fine Champagne lingers in the mouth with a great dept and lenght on the palate."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
Delicate and subtle cigar box bouquet, full-bodied and mellow, tender and stylish with a long-lingering fine memory.
Sandalwood: Born of the contact between cognac and barrel during ageing.
Mushroom: This aroma can be traced back to the humid conditions in our carefully monitored earth-floored warehouses, where the cognac ages.
Dried Apricot: Hailing from the distillation on the lees, this labor-intensive process produces a diverse array of sublime aromas and flavours.
2007 Double Gold Medal
San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Courvoisier® 12 Year Old features unique and extraordinary cognac not less than 12 years old, representing the perfect moment in time when age and cru meet at the peak of their potential.
"12 years old was my choice of age to show the wonderful palette of aromas that the borderies can give."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
This cognac contains eaux-de-vie primarily selected from the Borderies cru, which at 12 years old develop their best floral and spicy notes. These tasting are further enhanced by the combination of Fins Bois grapes to develop the vibrancy of Blend and Grande Champagnes eaux-de-vie that give underlying elegance and dept.
On the nose, notes of violets, orange blossoms quickly meld into spicy tasting of clove, ginger and star anise. Delicate vanilla completes the aromatic harmony.
On the palate, a luxury of almonds, raisins and orange marmalade are nurtured from the Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie.
2013 Silver Outstanding Medal
International Wine & Spirit Competition
2012 Bronze Medal

Courvoisier® 21 Year Old features unique and extraordinary cognac not less than 21 years old, allowing the maturing cognac to blossom and achieve its full aroma and flavour potential.
"21 years old is not only the coming of age for many young adults but also for Connoisseurs who want to enjoy a perfect Grande Champagne"
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
This cognac contains the finest eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne cru, that have been aged for over two decades in hand selected Tronçais oak barrels. 21 years is the perfect time for these specific eaux-de-vie to develop their full richness and heightened aromatic style.
On the nose, the first notes are dried hazelnut, dried apricots and figs, followed slowly by notes of cocoa, honey and smooth spices like white pepper and coriander. The finish brings subtle notes of leather and fine cigar.
On the palate, the aromatic notes deepen into candied orange and gingerbread, leading to a smooth and voluptuous finish with exquisite depth that seems to go on forever.
2012 Gold
International Wine and Spirit Competition
2012 Silver Medal
San Francisco World Spirits Competition
An elegant and rare blend of eaux-de-vie at the peak of flavour. Perfectly marrying the Grande Champagne and Borderies crus, starting at the delicate age of 30 and maturing up to and beyond 50 years old.
"Combining flavours worthy of a truly great cognac, Initiale® Extra harmonizes old port wine with truffle and hot fruitcake. Only a few drops are enough to induce an explosion that seems to linger on the palate forever."
Patrice Pinet
Master Blender
Fragance start with humid forest and rich truffle aroma, then port wine and cedar wood, followed by spicy hints of hot fruit cake.
Truffles: Our ageing warehouses, with their humid conditions, develop over time, the exquisite aroma of truffles.
Hot Fruitcake: Deliciously evocative, this aroma is born of the maturation of the very old Borderies grapes at their absolute peak.
Old Port Wine: During the long ageing process, the volume of cognac gradually reduces, making it more concentrated. This gives it the 'rancio' aroma – earthy and mushroomy.
2009 Silver Medal
International Wine and Spirit Competition
Succession® contains cognacs from the family of one of our best Grande Champagne suppliers, who have kept their best reserve hidden for generations. This precious cognac honours our unique association with our winegrowers but also encapsulates both the history and passion that are needed to create this masterpiece.

Courvoisier®takes great care of the quality delivered at each stage of the making process. We are working very closely with our partners, offering technical support and guidance with regards of both wine making and distillation process. Nurturing close relationships with over 800 vine growers ensures the grapes used are the finest in the Cognac region.
Crafted from 200-year-old oak trees individually selected by the Master Blender, our barrels are handmade to exact specifications by a team of skilled coopers, ensuring that they are worthy of these exquisite grapes.
Cognac can only be produced from Colombard, Folle Blanche or Ugni Blanc grapes and there are six legally recognised "crus" or areas in the Cognac region where these grapes may be grown—each selected for its perfect combination of clay, chalk, lime and flint stones, rainfall and glorious sunshine. Courvoisier® mainly works, though, with the four finest crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois.
The grapes are harvested at their peak, at the end of the summer. Once pressed by the vine growers, the juices are allowed to naturally ferment over seven days, transforming the grape sugars into wine.
This wine is double distilled in an intense process unique to cognac. Distillation takes place 24 hours a day from November to March only. To ensure the finest quality, Courvoisier recommends the use of traditional 25 hectoliters alambics from the first stage of distillation.
Courvoisier® is one of the few cognac houses to distill "on the lees," a specific technique which requires keeping the yeast residue.
The final product is separated into three parts: the head, the heart and the tails. Only the clear and pure liquid from the heart is used to craft Courvoisier®. This distilled spirit or "eau-de-vie" is ready for ageing.
In our cellars, the precious eaux-de-vie are aged in barrels handcrafted with oak trees directly selected by Courvoisier in specific forests. They provide us with qualities of wood necessary to achieve our Courvoisier house style.
Once the oak staves are cut, the wood is dried naturally for three years by the master coopers. Once the barrels are completed, they are filled with the eaux-de-vie and the ageing process begins.
All cognac must be aged for a minimum of two and a half years, growing increasingly more complex and smooth the older it gets.
At the heart of the blending philosophy is a respect for the unique nature and individual qualities of every aged cognac.
A little like conducting a symphonic orchestra, fusing these fine spirits into a consistent and harmonious blend is a precise art and the result of an undoubted passion and dedication overseen by only six master blenders over the 200-year brand history.

The annual Bicycle Art exhibit at Denver International Airport is a product of many things: thoughtful curating and creative thinking, for sure, but also tourism, public money, boosterism and a love for the sport of biking.
Whatever makes art happen is OK with me, as long as it allows artists to think independently. For the most part, this exhibit does, though there have to be natural limits to anything that originates as pure promotion. In this case the art is meant to get folks excited about the now-annual USA Pro Challenge, the bike race that will zip across Colorado August 19 through August 25.
The bikes are displayed on top of the baggage carousels on both the east and west sides of the Jeppesen Terminal. There is one designed for each of the major stops of the race: Aspen/Snowmass, Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, Beaver Creek, Vail, Loveland, Fort Collins and Denver. Ivar Zeile of Denver's Plus Gallery (and many other good things) is the curator.

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

Ceramic casting core with an intricate, fine-featured trailing edge.
A key limitation of turbine efficiency has been the failure of parts at high temperature operating conditions, where efficiency is greatest. In FY 2010, through the SBIR program, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy funded research and development activities to explore innovative surface cooling and internal cooling approaches that allow ceramic and metal gas engine turbine parts to survive in working fluids with higher temperatures.
Mikro Systems, Inc. developed a unique ceramic core casting technology (TOMOsm) that permits the intricate design and casting of enhanced heat transfer features on gas turbine blades. The Mikro approach allows new cooling surface features to be created that would not be possible with current casting processes. Further, this alternate core casting technology will seamlessly integrate into existing multimillion dollar casting processes used by the industry and quickly revolutionize the industry's ability to enhance both existing and future turbines with new blade designs.
Mikro's approach is a breakthrough technology for both development and manufacture of ceramic casting cores. It enables faster and lower-cost development of advanced gas turbine blades, and the process can be scaled up for volume production. Further, the Mikro technology supports design features that would not be possible to produce with conventional core casting technology. Production lead time can be improved by 70 percent and development costs reduced by as much as 50 percent when compared to conventional core casting manufacturing processes. A cost advantage was also demonstrated with tooling costs amounting to $50,000 – $100,000 compared to $250,000 – $300,000 for conventional tooling.
