Best Bets: Renegade Theater Company's hip version of "The Nutcracker"
December 5, 2012 at 6:00 pm in Duluth News Tribune
It's "The Nutcracker," minus tutus. House Theater of Chicago's adaptation of the popular holiday program has some similar themes, but it's a pretty different show than the one ballet fans see every year.

master orfice tool t.c.m.p/n646953 cyl.leak check
Re: master orfice tool t.c.m.p/n646953 cyl.leak check
Don't worry about this. Any qualified A&P mechanic will own or have access to a calibrated differential compression test set (which is what that fancy name and part number is all about). The special attention given the "master" orifice tool is in relation to a special procedure undertaken when cylinders fall into the lower regimes of acceptable compression. It's another case of "Measure it with a micrometer, ...next mark it with a grease pencil, ...then cut it with a hatchet" mentality. ;Þ
Re: master orfice tool t.c.m.p/n646953 cyl.leak check
George; Thanks for the info. I figured as much. while i'm not a hardcore 65/80 advocate. I do enough differential leak checks to cause. me to want to be on top of any changes in the procedure. I hav'nt read any service bulletins from T.C.M.on this subject either. Best Regards Willy Owens.

Eat Your Heart Out!
Yours truly with my first round of the CrabAttack.
Mommy dearest showing off her plate of crabs.
My cousin Mikey is super excited to eat his share. Don't mind me in this picture, I look so retarded!
Nom Nom Monster!
Last Friday was such a blast. Good food, good company plus I had a small surprise. My friend got back from her Bangkok trip and she got me a cute little dress. How thoughtful! She said this was an early birthday present for me. I told her my birthday's not until July. Speaking of birthdays...Ugh.... I'm not looking forward to another birthday, being another year older scares me. For the mean time I am going to just enjoy the last few weeks of being one year younger than I will be by the 15th of July. =)
Weekend Funnies:
My little cousin who was having diarrhea told me she had a booboo... I asked her what's wrong and she said her butt was throwing up. hahahahaha. Kids say the darnest things!
I ran into an old co-worker earlier today. He looked so stressed out. I asked him how he was and he said, "I am H.I.V. Positive". My heart sank for him. My jaw dropped. And then he smiled and said..."Hair Is Vanishing Positively" and he points to his receding hairline. hahahahaha....
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Post some happy weekend pictures for me ok?

I checked and the Trentemoller is still on the homepage. I think this is a confirmation, why would GV just put it up to fuck with us? Anyways I hope its true, I've been a big fan of Trentemoller and have always wanted to see him. This video looks like a perfect fit for the Polo Fields.
seems like site is back....
as predicted by nostradamus
I interpret the video as meaning "Trentemoller is playing, and most of you probably don't know who that is or why you should care. This is why."
4/8 Ride @ The Roxy, 4/10 St. Vincent @ The Cosmopolitan, 4/14 Barry Manilow @ Staples Center, 5/2 Desert Daze, 5/8-10 Levitation, 5/16 The Juan Maclean @ The Regent, 6/10 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Cafe, 6/12 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Utah
Trentmoller, full live show? I hope that's what this video fully indicates for gv.
Should we also assume Trentemoller will perform in a night timeslot? That performance in daylight probably wouldn't be as cool

good stuff. the phantogram album is great.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
I see them doing this for a week or so, then having another Coachella time-lapse video or similar video, with the lineup shown that way. I'd like that.
Nevermind. So does this mean Radiohead is playing?
I think this video a day thing is fun.

> I'm hoping that somebody can help me by directing me to a step-by-step

The big issue here is probably how you did your initial partioning. If
you have more than two or three partitions, and say that you want to grow
a partition in the middle of the disk, then you're at the most complex
The way to do that "point and click" is with Partion Magic. Sure, it's no
open source and it'll cost you some pennies, but it's the only thing I
trust my disks to when I need it's capabilities. $70 and all this issue
goes away for you. What's your time worth? Are you making money with
this server? You'd basically do your clone like you already did once, and
then use PM on the target disk to grow it. PM knows linux partions and
does the right thing.
A second way to accomplish that, if it's a linux partition, is to use
rsync. Boot the system up using a rescue CD, partition the target, mke2fs
-j on the new larger partition, mount the source and target, and then
"rsync -avrPSx /source/ /target/" (trailing slashes there are important,
and yes those options are somewhat redundant for any of you
"argumenatative" people. :) Repeat that for any other partions involved.
Swap partions can be deleted entirely and then readded later. Use "mkswap
/dev/sd??" after re-creating the partition.
If, on the other hand, you simple want to grow the last partition, you can
do that with fdisk (delete the partition, add it back in making sure it
has the same starting point, and make it fill up the disk) then resize2fs
and you're done... again doing this from a rescue CD. I usually try to
put the partition I'd most like to grow in the future as the second to the
last parition. The last partition would be the swap partition which can
easily be deleted as already mentioned (Ie I add more memory later and
need less swap, or I add a scratch disk for swap and don't need swap on
this disk later).
Lastly, I'll mention that you may wish to convert this system to using
LVM, which makes growing partitions (volumes in LVM parlance) and moving
things (like physical disks) very very easy. It's complex, so I'll leave
you to Google to dig deeper on that.

I am not sure the best way to organize such a thing, but wanted to check if anybody else has done it first.
I am guessing we'd have to have 3 classes of loaner tools:
1. small tools that have been donated
shipped to the next person who needs them by the last person who used them
2. small tools that people are willing to lend out
shipped out on loan by somebody who gets them back afterwards, borrower pays shipping both ways
3. large or fragile tools that must be used locally or on site
come to my garage to mount your tires, synch your trottle boddies, that sort of thing
I guess we'd have to find a way to weed out unscrupulous types
(must donate a tool before you can borrow one, must have another ADV member vouch for you, must ???)
but I think with some logistical planning it just might work.
I am willing to purchase the BMW SHB tool pictured above to kick things off if others think this is a good idea

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Official Hawkeye logos adorn T-shirts, jerseys and footballs. But the University of Iowa's trademarked symbol also is featured on steins and shot glasses, and that has some wondering if the school is violating its own licensing policy.
Student Matt Pfaltzgraf, a leader of a group opposing a city ordinance limiting when minors can enter bars, said the university has a policy against selling things that promote alcohol use.
"Yet I was able to buy about eight shot glasses (and) a couple of pitchers," said Pfaltzgraf, of the group YESS, which stands for Yes to Entertaining Students Safely. "They're obviously not following their own policy."
Pfaltzgraf also accused the university of a "double standard" for making money off the products while trying to combat binge drinking.
University officials contend that those items are not intended to promote alcohol consumption but as collectibles. And they said the school can't control how anyone uses a UI-licensed product regardless of its intended purpose.
Selling products such as beer glasses and pitchers does not undermine the university's efforts to curb dangerous drinking, said interim Vice President Tom Rocklin. Rocklin has championed changing the city and campus' drinking culture both in his position at the university and as a private citizen serving on the 21 Makes Sense committee.
"I think that licensing products that relate to alcohol consumption would be contrary to our message if our message was prohibition, which it isn't," Rocklin said. "It's not like we have licensed beer bongs, for instance."
Any company that wants to sell licensed Hawkeye products must first obtain approval from the UI Trademark Licensing Office, run by Trademark Licensing Director Dale Arens. The university's policy forbids messages that promote or refer to gambling, tobacco, drug or alcohol use, among other things.
Arens said he doesn't think the sale of beer glasses and related items violates that policy.
"If a glassware company comes to us, we don't let them promote (the product) as a beer stein or shot glass," Arens said. "We view those as collectibles. People collect those things and they line them up on their shelves. You'd be hard pressed to find someone drinking beer out of a collector's stein."
Glassware is allowed because it could be used for drinking nonalcoholic beverages, Arens said. Products that are clearly used for alcohol consumption, such as flasks or products used to sneak alcohol into stadiums, are not permitted, Arens said.
Arens said it would be difficult to find people using these products in a drinking environment, such as the downtown Iowa City bar scene or at tailgates outside of Kinnick Stadium. And area Hawkeye memorabilia vendors agree.
"A lot of those items aren't used for drinking," said Ron Christensen, owner of Game Day Iowa, which features 36,000 licensed Iowa products. "Students that are drinking aren't going to use their money to buy them."

So many Jew-Haters around the world.it is good t o know Israel is attempting to counter the lies and defamation
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
The Immigrant Absorption Ministry announced on Sunday it was setting up an "army of bloggers," to be made up of Israelis who speak a second language, to represent Israel in "anti-Zionist blogs" in English, French, Spanish and German.
The program's first volunteer was Sandrine Pitousi, 31, from Kfar Maimon, situated five kilometers from Gaza. "I heard about the project over the radio and decided to join because I'm living in the middle of the conflict," she said.
Before hanging up the phone prematurely following a Color Red rocket alert, Pitousi, who immigrated to Israel from France in 1993, said she had some experience with public relations from managing a production company.
"During the war, we looked for a way to contribute to the effort," the ministry's director general, Erez Halfon, told Haaretz. "We turned to this enormous reservoir of more than a million people with a second mother tongue." Other languages in which bloggers are sought include Russian and Portuguese.
Halfon said volunteers who send the Absorption Ministry their contact details by e-mail, at firstname.lastname@example.com, will be registered according to language, and then passed on to the Foreign Ministry's media department, whose personnel will direct the volunteers to Web sites deemed "problematic."
Within 30 minutes of announcing the program, which was approved by the Foreign Ministry on Sunday, five volunteers were already in touch, Halfon said.

DRILLING into Lake Vostok, the giant lake trapped under thousands of metres of Antarctic ice, could trigger a violent explosion of water, according to scientists who have calculated that the levels of gases dissolved in the lake are as high as in a can of soda.
Lying 4 kilometres beneath the Russian Antarctic field station, with a surface area of around 14,000 square kilometres, Lake Vostok is the largest and deepest subglacial lake ever found. It has been completely sealed off from the surrounding environment for at least a million years. Scientists hope to discover unique life forms in the water that could hint at what kind of life may be lurking in ice-covered bodies of water elsewhere in the Solar System, such as those on Jupiter's moon Europa.
A Russian, French and US team has already drilled to within around 100 metres of the water's surface, and plans to ...

The resident Judge of the second judicial circuit court in Grand Bassa County has sentenced a Pakistani national to one-year imprisonment for his involvement in human trafficking.
The convict Mohammed Ilyas along with an Indian national identified as Joshua Samuel were arrested by the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN) and forwarded to the Ministry of Justice for allegedly trafficking a dozen of Pakistanis and Indian national in the country last year.
A release from the Ministry of Justice quotes document said Mohammed Ilyas trafficked five
persons while Indian national Samuel trafficked seven others who are all Indians.
The two suspects are doing business in Liberia.
The release said during the trial in Buchanan the Pakistani national who is the defendant told the court that he brought the victims in Liberia not for human trafficking but rather to work for him, the release said.
But the state, in presenting their case to the jury and the court, produced at least four of the five victims as state witnesses who testified that they were never told by the defendant that they were coming to Liberia to work for him but rather to have their own will.
The trial jury at the end of the trial brought down a unanimous guilty verdict against the defendant.
The judge said after viewing the evidence, he approval the jury's verdict and sentenced the defendant to a year of imprisonment.
The defense lawyer took exception to the judge's ruling and announced an appeal to the Supreme Court in its March sitting.
Meanwhile state prosecutors have taken an exception to the sentencing on grounds that the offence is a second degree felony and the sentence for such crime should be three years instead of one year.
Speaking to reporters, the release quoted Solicitor General Cllr Winkins Wrights as saying that the state will start the prosecution of the Indian national during the February term of court in Monrovia.
