Drake Fire Started In Couch
Investigators have no 'smoking gun' to pin on any individual for starting the Drake Hall fire at U-W-L...
But they do have a smoking couch. Campus police and the city fire department are certain that the January 29th fire began in a basement couch, so there had to be human involvement somehow. The blaze began around 4:30 in the morning, which lets out most Drake residents as suspects, since the majority were asleep in their rooms.
Campus police chief Scott Rohde says students have been very cooperative and revealing about what they were doing the day of the fire. But it seems nobody has confessed yet to setting a flame. A reward of $2000 is being offered for tips that solve the case.

Alchemy Turns Time Lapse to Gold
Somebody made a road trip. The kids from Evosia Studios hit the Grand Canyon North Rim, Arches, the Sierra and the I think the Whites, on a nice winter travelogue, shooting tons of Mother Nature flashing her skirts for the camera. Time lapses as a meme are long played out, but still — taking five minutes out of your day and dreaming/remembering/planning is a nice thing to do. Has it been five months already since I was last at Toroweep? Sheesh. I don't know about you, but Alchemy makes me hungry to get back out there.
Wow, stunningly beautiful pictures of breathtaking landscapes. Keep them coming!

This is a tight fit for 45 footers. The sites are shared, so you either pull in or back in; whoever is there first. The interior roads are tight turns and the spaces are curved. The setting is nice in the trees, but no satellite reception and our Wi-Fi signal was not good. The food at the casino was good and reasonably priced. Good for an over-nighter. - User1999

There is not a level site in the place. They raised their rates and offer nothing more than before. There are a lot of better places to stay in the area. - geezer1945

This was a one night stop. The campground is adequate for a casino campground. The drive thrus accommodate two RVs, one to the front and one to back. So if you are in the back you must wait for RV in front of you to depart. Width of sites are snug but adequate. Campground is in the rear of the casino's parking lot so it is quiet and distant in woods. This was suitable for a one nighter and enjoying the casino. - User3168

Murang'a farmers have been urged to elect leaders with a vision to revive agriculture in the county. Kenya National Federation of Agricultural Producers chairman Nduati Kariuki yesterday said it will be "suicidal" if they do not elect leaders, who will address their problems.
He was speaking to the press in Murang'a town yesterday. Kariuki, a senator aspirant, said farmers are suffering because leaders lip service to farmer's issues, adding that they have an opportunity to elect leaders, who will address their problems in Parliament.
He said the agriculture has the potential to create all the jobs and enhance the realisation of Vision 2030 if the government invest more resources in it.
"We urge farmers to carefully evaluate the people seeking leadership. We are an agricultural nation and people who do not understand farming issues cannot help farmers. We urge you to register as voters in large numbers," said Kariuki.
He said promised to press for a conducive environment for farmers to boost productivity in the sector. Kariuki thanked the government for withdrawing the VAT Bill 2012 saying it will have hurt farmers by increasing VAT on farm inputs and implements.
He will battle it for the seat with former Kanu secretary general Joseph Kamotho and former Kenyan envoy to Belgium Kembi Gitura.
Kariuki is banking on the support of various farmers groups to win the Murang'a senator seat in the election. The former Finance minister has been passionate on issues touching on agriculture and has frequently urged the government to support farmers.

The objective behind having a home theater is exactly what it's name claims- to bring theatre home.
The reason we don't experience the dynamism of cinema audio on even the best HDTVs is because a TV's speakers are in-built and sound is dispersed from a single direction. Also many TVs do not implement good audio technology in their speakers. So this is where your HT comes in. A Home Theatre system is typically a set of at least 5 speakers and a subwoofer that deploy surround sound technology from brands like DTS and Dolby to provide a multiple dispersive effect. So a 7.1 comes with 7 full channels and 1 low frequency effects channel. Currently however, most movie soundtracks are released in the 5.1 channel and a few in 7.1 channel. Consequently, the 7.1 channel system is good enough to support the best home theatre tv systems of 2013. Note that the channels are backward compatible - so a soundtrack released on the 7.1 channel will also play as good on a 5.1 home theatre system. With distinct sound channels for stereo material, and one Low Frequency Effects speaker (also known as a subwoofer) a HT set can make the audio issuing from your TV omnipresent. These speakers can be placed around the room to get the best experience, but are capable of generating an immersive effect even when placed together.
It's not an uncommon assumption that purchasing the components of a HT system separately, makes it cheaper. However, that isn't always the case and there is always the issue of finding compatible and complementary speakers with one another and to the AVR. With a home theatre system your job is made much easier with speakers, AVR and Blu--ray players which fit each other. The best home theatre system is adaptable to the acoustics of your room and offers an easy set-up to bring you the best cinematic experience.
Moreover, Home Theatres systems come with several added advantages like DVD or Blu-ray players. With the HDMI support and A/V receiver, you can complement the dynamic sound with your HD videos on the Blu-ray player.
This list of the best home theatres is also applicable for the following topics:

Normal is nice, extraordinary is the goal.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my profile. A little about me, I really like my job and enjoy going to it almost as much as I enjoy leaving at the end of the day. I'm a pretty happy person I can be intense at times, but don't like to argue and refuse to go to bed upset. I like to travel with Europe being my next major destination. I'm not looking for Ms. Perfect but rather I'm looking for Ms. Perfect-for-me. Perhaps you are her only time will tell. But Ms. Perfect-for-me starts off with being smart and witty (if you don't understand humor, it won't work so move along, move along now). The shallow part of response of who she is; she's witty and classy. Likes sitcoms like the Big Bang Theory. If you're still reading and you can enjoy a glass of wine and a movie, AWESOME. I drink reds and make faces with tart wines. I don't judge people, most of the time it is a wonder to myself how I don't get slapped by life, for as often as I screw up. My sisters are great. They make all my fashion choices which is helpful. They taught me that once I hit 14 I was no longer allowed to wear white socks with black shoes unless I was in Beverly Hills on 90210. They frequent my closet and toss the "old" and replace it with "new", I am allowed to shop for myself, but if you had 2 personal shoppers would you? It frees me up to do cool stuff, that I'm more interested in. They have also taught me to have expensive tastes and how to shop for gifts, but I think it is a probably to just make sure they get a really cool sister-in-law in the future. Family is important to me and I very much like one of my own. That includes traditional values, a wife that is loved and respected completely with open and honest communication, and possibly two or more kids one in pigtails and one that kisses his mom and makes her cry. Kids arent essential just depends on timing and my partner. Thou animals are a must if kids aren't in the picture. Sappy I know but family is important. **The views and opinions of this member are not necessarily the views of this website its affiliates or partners.

The sanction applies to the case in which the noncooperating person currently receives cash benefits. Do not apply the sanction if the noncooperating person is no longer in the cash case. If the person is not required to be in the TANF case
(see PM 04-01-02), they may request to be removed. If the noncooperating person is added to a cash case before the sanction has ended, apply the rest of the
sanction penalty to that case. The sanction applies statewide, so a person cannot avoid sanction by moving to another Family Community Resource Center area.

|Disney's California Adventure
|News and Information
(MAP #2 - middle of map, between 3 & 1)
GRIZZLY PEAK - Grizzly Peak Recreation Area is a 10-acre faux California wilderness planted with redwoods and other native vegetation.
The centerpiece of this section is Grizzly River Run, a Disney-engineered water ride about a creaky old gold mine that the owners have turned into a river-rapids expedition outfit.
"We paid a lot of attention to the rockwork, the logs and the plants so that the attraction will depict a very accurate California riverscape," Braverman said.
Grizzly River Run will include a 45-foot climb and two drops. The larger drop, at 22 feet, will be the biggest of any rapids ride. "It spins you 360 degrees as you drop at a 30-degree angle," Braverman said.
Da Bear - Da Bore?
Here's the first review of the new Raft ride at Disney's California Adventure [DCA for short] that someone was kind enough to send to me.
Sadly it seems to be a heck of a lot more Paul Pressler in what it offers than Walt Disney as far as show quality goes...
Sadly it fits right into what I had been hearing from day one about entire new park - it truly will be a bare bones effort banking solely on the Disney name to draw them in.
Reading that review, which I am sad to say will probably only be the first of many similar ones, it brings to mind an e-mail that was sent me by reader Greg O., which shows up just what a hypocrite Michael Eisner, who approved and has supported Pressler's vision of this new park, can be nowadays. Greg writes:
Thank goodness Eisner doesn't have Pinocchio's schnoz problem... he wouldn't be able to turn his head without knocking whole crowds over.
The second attraction in Grizzly Peak is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, a large children's play area themed like a Scout camp. Visitors can climb rocks, ride zip lines and traverse cargo nets and suspension bridges.
(MAP #1 - top of map, near #8)
CONDOR FLATS - "The story here is that this is a high-desert Air Force test facility of the 1940s," Braverman said. The buildings will look like old aircraft hangars, and the streets will be marked as runways.
Soarin' Over California, a Disney-exclusive attraction, is the big show here. Guests enter a giant hangar to find themselves viewing an air show. Overhead projection and surround-sound acoustics make it seem as if famous aircraft from California's history are flying overhead.
"We will use computer-generated graphics to show everything from the Spruce Goose to the space shuttle," Braverman said.
Visitors then move to the main ride where they sit on an 87-person suspended theater that floats above an Imax-style screen to simulate hang gliding over scenic California.
"We can move you, changing the pitch and dropping you to give you the sense of flying," Braverman said. The five-minute flight will take place over 10 to 12 different locales, and will be filmed 48 frames per second, almost double the typical movie.

In the year and a half since we've adopted Twilight, he has had two separate incidents with his eyes! Shih Tzu are notorious for eye problems and diseases due to their short noses, long hair, and large eyes. A responsible Shih Tzu owner should be caring for the eyes on a daily basis and able to recognize symptoms of many different eye diseases.
Common Shih Tzu Eye Problems:
1. Corneal Ulcers
Corneal ulcers are caused by an injury to the eye, usually a scratch. This problem has brought Twilight and me to the vet twice! Your Shih Tzu may paw at his eyes, keep the affected eye closed, and/or have excess tears. With Twilight, we could generally see the corneal ulcer as a thin scratch line on his eye. You will have to go to the vet, who will prescribe antibiotics and eye drops to decrease the pain and heal your dog's eye
2. Eyelash Issues
There are two major types of eyelash problems that Shih Tzu can develop: distichiasis (growth of an eyelash in an abnormal spot) and trichiasis (an ingrown eyelash). You can usually see the eyelash affecting your dog. As many readers probably know, a plucked eyelash will only grow back. The vet will have to treat the eyelash to remove it.
3. Cataracts
Cataracts usually occurs in dogs that are 8 years and older. It "clouds" the lens and decreases your dog's ability to see. Like in people, cataracts can lead to blindness and requires surgery.
4. Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Like humans, dogs can also get pink eye! Symptoms include a pink or red eye, discharge and excess tears, keeping one eye closed, swelling around the eye, and pawing of the affected region. Pink eye can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies and must be analyzed by a vet before treatment can be prescribed. A cautionary note: pink eye can be transmitted between humans and dogs, so be careful!
5. Tear Ducts
There are a few problems that can occur with tear ducts. Excessive tearing (epiphora) and possibly bad drainage lead to constant discharge of tears onto your dog's hair. Your Shih Tzu's facial hair may start to get a bad smell as the discharge collects on his/her hair and skin. This smell is caused by an overgrowth of the Shih Tzu's normal bacteria. Many things, such as hair, swelling, or injury, can block tear ducts. If your vet suspects your dog to have blocked tear ducts, he or she will add a harmless dye called fluorescein to your dog's eye. The dye will reveal any corneal ulcers and how the tears are flowing from the eye. Alternatively, the vet may use a Schirmer Tear Test: a strip that runs a dye as the dog's tears travel along the paper. This test reveals whether your dog has excessive tear production.
Although this list gives you a start on what symptoms and diseases to look out for, you should always consult your vet if you suspect something is wrong with your Shih Tzu's eyes. Always take care of Shih Tzu eye problems as soon as possible.

SOLUTION? BUILD A JIG! A circular saw is a very common tool for home owners. You can buy battery powered versions that come in kits or go for a nice corded one. This should take you about an hour if you have all the supplies.
This instructable is a follow-on to a concept presented by http://www.instructables.com/id/Cutting-plywood-the-easy-way/
Step 1: Getting Started: Supplies and Information
Circular saw (1)
Hand Drill (1)
Countersink (1)
#10 Drill Bit (1)
Countersunk 10-24 sheet metal screws (15)
10-24 nuts (15)
lockwashers (15)
Sheetrock screws
4x8 1/4" Hardboard
1"x1"x1/8" Aluminum Angle (Length as desired)
Step 2: Get out the saw! Cut the new base.
Step 3: Holes are a good thing!
Drill holes in the aluminum base of your saw.
I drilled 4 holes, 1 in each corner of the base.
Lay your aluminum base and mark the holes on your cut piece of hardboard. Make sure the smooth side of the hardboard is facing down.
Drill your holes to match.
OPTION 2: (Preferred)
Clamp your hardboard to your aluminum base and mate-drill the parts together. Make sure the smooth side of the hardboard is facing down.
Again, I drilled 4 holes, 1 in each corner.
Using your countersink bit, countersink each of the holes such that the 10-24 screws will set flush in the holes. You need to countersink the underside of the panel.
It appears from some comments that some readers do not realize that the guide shown in step 5 has a groove that captures the upstanding leg of the aluminum angle so that the saw cannot move left or right. The picture is out of focus and it is not obvious. I have made cuts with a straight edge clamped to the wood and pressing the saw base plate against the guide, but on long cuts the saw has wondered away from the guide. This design prevents that and is very simple. Also, an aluminum angle is not necessary, any straight and rigid piece of wood or metal that is available should work. Just make the sure saw guides on the inside and outside edges. Great design!!
Really comprehensive & useful advice. Specially, thanks for images. Will try to spread the words with our site http://www.bipico.com
I have seen the less expensive table saws but you will never get as straight of an edge out of a smaller table saw.
I have a Delta Unisaw, and am retrofitting it with an extension table. But if you're going to be cutting full panels, this is hard to beat.
I really enjoied your instructable. Congratulations.

Postcolonial Readings of Music in World Literature
By Cameron Fae Bushnell
Routledge – 2013 – 204 pages
Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature
Routledge – 2013 – 204 pages
Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature
This book reads representations of Western music in literary texts to reveal the ways in which artifacts of imperial culture function within contemporary world literature. Bushnell argues that Western music's conventions for performance, composition, and listening, established during the colonial period, persist in postcolonial thought and practice. Music from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods (Bach through Brahms) coincides with the rise of colonialism, and Western music contains imperial attitudes and values embedded within its conventions, standards, and rules. The book focuses on the culture of classical music as reflected in the worlds of characters and texts and contends that its effects outlast the historical significance of the real composers, pieces, styles, and forms. Through examples by authors such as McEwan, Vikram Seth, Bernard MacLaverty, Chang-rae Lee, and J.M. Coetzee, the book demonstrates how Western music enters narrative as both acts of history and as structures of analogy that suggest subject positions, human relations, and political activity that, in turn, describes a postcolonial condition. The uses to which Western music is put in each literary text reveals how European art music of the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries is read and misread by postcolonial generations, exposing mostly hidden cultural structures that influence our contemporary understandings of social relations and hierarchies, norms for resolution and for assigning significance, and standards of propriety. The book presents strategies for thinking anew about the persistence of cultural imperialism, reading Western music simultaneously as representative of imperial, cultural dominance and as suggestive of resistant structures, forms, and practices that challenge the imperial hegemony.

Teen mom banned from yearbook after posing with son in photoAdd to Favorites | Teen Mom 2
The world isn't as accepting of real-life teenage mothers as MTV's "Teen Mom" series sometimes makes it seem. A 17-year-old North Carolina high school student named Caitlin Tilller was banned from her yearbook because she opted to pose with her son, Leelin.
Seniors at Wheatmore High School were invited to pose with a prop that best represents them for their yearbook photo. There were reportedly no restrictions or specifications for what that prop could be, so the teens chose things from sports paraphernalia to family pets. Tiller decided to chose her child.
"He helped me get to where I am today. I wouldn't be the person I am today without him," Tiller tells a local FOX station. "He has helped me achieve my goal to graduate high school and go forward with my dreams."
After giving birth in April 2012, Tiller says she worked harder to graduate early and earn money to provide for her son. She started college in January 2013 and currently works more than 30 hours a week. Still, when it came time to print her high school yearbook, Tiller learned that her picture had been pulled because it allegedly promotes teen pregnancy.
Randolph County School officials tell FOX that the yearbook should "be all about the student not an extension of their family." Tiller was given the opportunity to provide a different picture for the yearbook, but she says she's not interested in doing so it "the school isn't proud of her achievements."

Tom Kloet
Take Stock in Other Cultures
CEO, TMX Group Inc.
Tom Kloet's career includes more than 20 years of international business opportunities—his travels have taken him from Chicago to Singapore, from France to Canada.
In July 2008, Kloet, BBA80, became CEO of TMX Group Inc., which operates the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company also owns the Montreal Exchange Inc.; numerous other smaller Canadian exchanges; and the Boston Options Exchange, the sixth largest equity options exchange in the United States. He also currently sits on the board of directors of the World Federation of Exchanges.
Having an understanding of other cultures makes doing business internationally that much easier, he says.
"I've had the opportunity to live in different countries and to understand how different cultures work," says Kloet, who spent five years of his youth in Brussels, Belgium, where his father was an executive for Caterpillar.
Before coming to Toronto, Kloet's career moved him around the world in various positions: as senior executive vice president and COO of Newedge Group (2003-08), an international derivatives brokerage unit of Societe Generale, one of the largest banks in the world; as the first CEO and executive director of the Singapore Exchange Ltd. (2000-02); as senior managing director for ABN AMRO, Inc., the U.S. investment banking unit of ABN AMRO Bank, NV, where he was responsible for all operating activity of the global derivatives business and managing subsidiary brokerage companies in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Sydney; and as COO at Credit Agricole Futures Inc. of Chicago and executive officer of its parent, Segespar Capital Members, Inc. (1990-97).
"Embedded in my position at Newedge Group was a pretty robust Canadian brokerage business, so I was regularly in Montreal and Toronto," he says. "That made my transition to the Canadian business world much easier," he says.
But conducting business in Canada is fundamentally different because of the confederation of Canadian provinces and the authority granted to each province. Powers that Americans would expect to be within the central government of the United States, exist within the provincial governments of Canada, he says.
"For example, in Canada there is no national securities regulator, no equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have 13 provincial securities regulators. Instead of lodging a prospectus with the SEC to be listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq in the United States, a company must lodge a prospectus with provincial regulators if it wants to sell the security throughout Canada," he explains.
"There's a proposal now to create something like a national SEC, but it's being met with a certain distain by some—securities law is a matter of provincial regulation not national. As an American, it's been interesting to watch that debate," he says.
As an accounting student at Iowa in the late 1970s, Kloet says his Iowa course work was good preparation for his professional career. Although his course work contained some international business topics, study abroad opportunities were rarer—and fewer students took advantage of them—than they are today.
"Students today are much more aware of the world than I was," says Kloet, whose son is a current accounting student in the Tippie College. "I can have good intellectual conversations with him about what's going on in Europe, Asia, or Africa, and that's because he's learning from faculty who are engaging students and getting them to think globally."

Junior college transfers add instant skill to IU football team
Indiana University head football coach Kevin Wilson isn't abandoning his youth movement, but he has taken steps to better cope with many of the growing pains the Hoosiers experienced last season.
With the addition of six junior college transfers — five on defense — Wilson enters Saturday's Cream & Crimson Spring Game feeling encouraged by the progress his program has made through 14 spring practices. He thinks the IU fans who show up at Memorial Stadium at 11 a.m. CDT on Saturday will notice a definite difference, too.
"We've made some nice strides — a lot to keep making," said Wilson, who was 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the Big Ten during his first season in Bloomington.
Arguably, most of the progress has been made on the defensive side because of the infusion of experience from the junior college ranks. Linebackers Jacarri Alexander and David Cooper have added east-west quickness to an IU defense that surrendered an average of 37.3 points and 458.7 yards of total offense in 2011.
"Linebackers always show up — it's the nature of the position," said Wilson during a Big Ten coaches teleconference on Wednesday. "But they are making plays. They've been nice adds for us."
Senior defensive tackle Larry Black Jr. agrees.
"They are learning the scheme and starting to get the hang of it," said Black, who started all 12 games last season and is the Hoosiers' fifth-leading returning tackler with 47, including 5 1/2 for 30 yards in losses. "It just makes our defense better, especially with linebackers who can roam and run around and make plays.
"They bring a lot out of our defense."
That goes for three other juco transfers — defensive end Justin Riverside and safeties Tregg Waters and Ryan Thompson.
"They are going to play," said Wilson, who played 32 true or redshirt freshmen last season. "They have helped in our energy. Defensively, year two, we are just playing better team defense.
"We aren't blowing assign
ments in spring ball. We are tackling better We're a long way from where we want to be, but we are making some real good strides, and those junior college players are very much a part of what's going on on that side of the ball."
However, it's one of the young players who gained experience last season, Chase Hoobler, that Wilson expects to make the greatest impact at linebacker in the fall. As a redshirt freshman, Hoobler made 48 tackles last season, with five tackles for losses.
"Chase has nice size (6-foot-2, 240 pounds) and he runs well," said Wilson. "He came in for us last year as a redshirt freshman and made an impact as the year emerged. He's had a very solid spring.
"He's starting to give us a little bit of leadership. We need him to come through and be an upper level Big Ten player."

Mickey Rourke bows out of WrestleMania! Smart move
Mickey Rourke hit the mat before his "WrestleMania 25" match even started.
At the SAG Awards on Sunday, the Academy Award nominee (he played Randy "the Ram" Robinson in "The Wrestler") made a big to-do to reporters about how he was planning to be in the upcoming wrestling event.
But now the match, set for April 5 in Houston, will not happen, according to E!
Why? Well, it sounds to me as if someone talked some sense into Mr. Rourke.
"Mickey was very honored to be asked, as he has the greatest respect for WWE. However, he will not be participating in WrestleMania," says the actor's official rep, Paula Woods, in a released statement. "He is focusing entirely on his acting career."
Let's reinforce that: FOCUS ON YOUR ACTING CAREER!
You need to save your strength, Mickey. You already have the biggest match of your life coming up.
For your career's sake, you need to KO your Oscar opponent, Sean Penn.
C'mon, take him down!

Rockport-Fulton baseball team jumps out to big lead, holds off Kingsville
Pirates ride five-run first to victory over Brahmas
INGLESIDE - After losing 11 of its first 15 games, the Rockport-Fulton baseball team entered spring break with the intention of finding the kind of consistency need to battle perennial District 30-3A playoff contenders Robstown and Sinton.
The Pirates took a step in the right direction with an 8-6 victory over Kingsville on Tuesday morning.
"We've been working on our chemistry. We have to find it during spring break because district is just around the corner," R-F coach Richard Vossen said. "We've been close a couple of times, but haven't been good enough to get us over those humps. We're still searching to find it. You just have to hold on to the rope. Right now, that's all we talk about."
The Pirates (5-11) had to hold on tight against the Brahmas despite taking a 5-0 lead after one inning.
Tony Kawczynski reached on an error to lead off the game and promptly stole second base. Steven Rytter followed with a base hit — the first of six straight by R-F — to left field to score Kawczynksi and put the Pirates in front 1-0.
Rytter went on to score on a single by Cameron Noles, who was cut down at second base on a steal attempt for the first out. Rex Hoyt responded with a base hit and went to third on a single by Reid Wagoner.
Hoyt scored on base hit by Ray Allen, while Wagoner went on to score on a fielding error. Trey Hudson then knocked in Allen with a single up the middle to give the Pirates a 5-0 advantage.
Vossen attributed the hot start to a solid session of batting practice at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.
"We traditionally do not play well in the morning," the coach said. The tournaments kind of proved some of that, so we thought we'd take a different approach during spring break. We gave them a couple of days off and came back and hit the ball really well at batting practice."
Kingsville (5-4) loaded the bases in the first two innings, but managed only a run when Sammy Robles scored on a base hit to right by Joel Cortez. Trailing 5-1, the Brahmas tied the score in the fifth without the benefit of a hit, but R-F answered with three runs in the bottom half of the inning to regain the lead.
An RBI single by Robles in the sixth brought Kingsville within two runs, but reliever Tulley Mayfield (2-1) shut down the Brahmas the rest of the way to pick up the victory.
"We had our chances just like they did, but we left more runners on base," Kingsville coach Ovidio Arevalo said. "We had two innings where we left the bases loaded and another two where we left two men on, so we've been working on situational hitting. We need to get those runs across. We need to get the job done."
Kingsville 010 031 0 — 6 6 4
Rockport-Fulton 500 030 x — 8 12 3
W — Tulley Mayfield (2-1). L — Aaron Chapa (1-1). 2B — K, Chapa, Sammy Robles; R-F, Rex Hoyt. Highlights — Kingsville, Joel Cortez 2-4, Chapa 2-3, 2R; R-F, Cameron Noles 2-4, RBI, Hoyt 2-4, 2 R, Reid Wagoner 2-2, R, Trey Hudson 2-3, RBI.

Does the Galaxy Nexus (GSM) on AT&T Have Signal Issues?
Does the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM version have the same fluctuating signal issues (dropped , disconnects) as have been widely discussed with the Verizon version of the GNEX?
In a word – no. At least not in my three weeks of testing.
I'm using a GNEX on ATT in Connecticut and haven't noticed any material difference in signal strength or speed when compared to my iPhone (also on ATT).
I only have one complaint and that is the phone locks up from time to time requiring a battery pull. It has just started to do this and it occurred afterI hung up from a phone call.
Other than the above issue I find the battery life to be excellent.
I am very close to an ATT tower at my house — so if I had sketchy signal to ATT from home I am not sure whether I'd be as enthusiastic but I think so.
I too skipped the Verizon version based on the large numbers of negative comments about poor signal quality. So far the signal has not been in issue for AT&T though I had similar concerns.
I have also seen the price drop about $100 if you buy direct from Amazon. I think it's now $569 +/-.

A master thief (Robert De Niro) agrees to work with a volatile partner (Edward Norton) for one last heist before he retires.
Sometimes the cast, alone, is enough to put a movie on our to-see list. That's the case with Stone. Sure, the movie seems to have been sneaked late onto the fall schedule. And, yeah, it's not generating the warmest of reviews. But still. It's the re-teaming of Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. Take two of the best method actors at work today and throw in the leggy Milla Jovovich — what's not to watch? The Score, the duo's first pairing, may not have been the best heist movie ever, but it was certainly a fun ride. And one you can catch on FLiX and Showtime several times in the next month.

Kubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin beta 1 screen shots
Yet another screen shot post on yet another pre-stable release distribution. This time, it is from Kubuntu 12.04 beta 1, the first beta release of what will become Kubuntu 12.04 LTS (Long Term Support).
Unlike Fedora 17 alpha, which is loaded with new and enhanced features, some of which have been written about here and here, Kubuntu 12.04 beta 1 comes with very few new features, other than the usual upgrades to software and the kernel.
While we cannot do anything about feature enhancements and inclusion of new features, what we can do, is download and test what has been released. If you are unable to contribute code, at least you can test for bugs and help make your favorite distro better. Installation images are available for download here for those able to test.
In the meantime, here are a few screen shots from a test installation:
The default desktop. I think they could have done better with the wallpaper.
The desktop showing the Kickoff menu. Not my favorite menu style, but distro developers seem to like it.
Another screen shot of the desktop with the Kickoff menu showing applications in the Office menu category. LibreOffice is the installed office suite.
The view from the KDE Plasma Netbook interface.
Installed Internet applications as seen from the KDE Plasma Netbook interface.
Default widgets on Page One of the KDE Plasma Netbook interface.
With KDE Telepathy, you can set up several instant messaging services.
And access them from the panel.
Amarok sucks when it comes to playing tracks from an audio CD, but it is relatively loaded with several online services. A new addition is access to Amazon's MP3 store, which makes it possible to see music offerings only from your location.
Finally, the Muon Package Management Suite. Not my favorite package manager, because I hate the unnecessary division of "labor" between Muon Package Manager and Muon Software Center.

Boosting the African economy comes with a load of challenges. Among them: you need to support entrepreneurs, which means you need to help them get places, which means you need to help them do so cheaply. But cars that are imported to Africa are ridiculously expensive.
This is where Joel Jackson comes in.
His company, Mobius Motors, is locally creating cars that are durable enough to drive over Kenya's degraded, dirt roads, but so basic in their construction that they're cheap enough for Kenyans to buy.
The result is a car that looks like a cross between a jeep and a dune buggy and costs $6,000. That number is important. It's a big drop from the average cost of a Nissan Minivan (about $15,000) or Toyota Sedan ($9,000) for Kenyans. Cheaper alternatives are the three-wheeled Tuk-Tuk by Piaggio or the Haojin motorbike — but Mobius wants the sweet spot in the middle, with a price comparable to the auto rickshaw.
Cars like the minivan and Toyota Sedan miss what people in Africa really need. Many Kenyans would rather forgo air conditioning, leather seats and automatic windows for all-terrain performance, reliability and cost, according to a survey Jackson ran of 1,500 potential car buyers in Kenya.
"Vehicles on the local market aren't designed for local consumers," says Jackson in a phone interview from his office in Nairobi. "They're made in Japan or the U.S… but roads here are horrendously bad. People often carry heavy loads in vehicles so they need to be durable. They're underserved." To that end, Jackson sees a compelling business opportunity.
While the Mobius cars aren't for everyone (a Kenyan's annual household income is under $3,000), Jackson is targeting small business owners and entrepreneurs. The transport network in rural Kenya is practically non-existent, and cheap, durable cars that can carry several people can act as both a small transport business for a budding entrepreneur, or a method of carrying their stock.
Jackson is closing a Series A round of funding over the next few months from investors in London, New York and Nairobi, criss-crossing the globe to meet VCs, or hitting New York for the Clinton Global Initiative or TED, followed by meetings in Zurich and Paris.
Mobius hasn't hit batch production yet, and so far he's only made two prototypes. But he plans to produce 50 cars in 2013, starting production at a new outsourcing facility in Kenya in January 2013. His biggest investment — a $70,000 grant — came from social enterprise incubator Echoing Green in New York.
Jackson, the biggest shareholder, has been running Mobius for two and a half years. He incorporated it in the United Kingdom as a company that owns a Kenyan subsidiary. The Sheffield-U.K. born IT graduate got into the business of making cars after taking a job at a management consultancy in London, and deciding to get more experience in the field. He joined an organization doing forestry work in Kenya, and while there had the idea to build a stripped down version of a car, to solve the problem of getting around the difficult terrain.

Apparently the brakes also work a bit better with the master cylinder on the handlebars. Touring? Did you get panniers with the bike? I see there are no pannier frames in the photos. These shouldn't be too expensive bought secondhand.
They are good bikes, I have a 100/7 which I had twin plugged. This improved the smooth running, exceleration and MPG but that can come later.
One thing I should mention and that's the finned exhaust nuts. Unless these have been properly looked after, they have a tendency of seizing on the male threads of the cylinder head. Do not use anything other than the correct bronze spanner available from Motorworks. When you buy/borrow the spanner ('wrench' to you Merrycans) see if you can at least move the nuts. DO NOT USE FORCE. The threads of the nuts and the studs can and do corrode so if you use force, you WILL regret this as a repair is possible, expensive and unneccessary. If after applying copious amounts of WD40, try boiling water. If they fail to work, you will need to remove the soft alloy nuts by drilling a serious of shallow 1/16" holes between the fins of the nut - don't go too deeply as you will damage the male thread of the stubs. When use have a line of shallow holes, use a really sharp chisel, I use an old broad screwdriver blade sharpened to a sharp edge, then strike the chisel point along the series of holes. Then with a bit of leverage, the nut will spring apart and off the stub leaving the thread intact. You'll then need new nuts of course but they are cheap. Clean up the male threads with a wire brush and Copaslip the new nuts and replace. Don't do it up too tightly (Please don't ask about bloody torque wrenches) and in a years time, undo, clean and re-Copaslip. Simples. I 'restored' the male threads on one of my BM's by grinding a knife edge along a hacksaw blade, and used this to carefully file away along the lines of the thread. It worked and annual re-Copaslipping will prevent any further problems.
Heat is your friend!
I had a hell of a time getting them off of my /7 (still in boxes). Adding heat to JUST the fins so you transfer as little heat as you can to the head and it'll probably come lose. But you still need the spanner

Whitesboro, Ford take down Chaps
By David Hausman
Contributing Writer
The Aubrey Chaparrals had an early lead, but could not hold it against the Whitesboro Bearcats stingy defense and running back Cody Ford.
Ford rushed for 110 yards and caught a 46-yard touchdown pass, while the Bearcats held Aubrey to 25 yards and no first downs in the second half of a 27-13 Whitesboro victory.
The loss dropped Aubrey to 1-2.
The Chaparrals, who piled up the yards last week in a win over Anna, had little success moving the ball against Whitesboro. Aubrey finished with 134 yards.
Whitesboro stymied Aubrey's running game and the Chaparrals failed to get anything going through the air.
"When teams take away our bread and butter on offense, we don't have an answer for it yet," said Aubrey coach Mike Segleski. "We have to be able to throw the ball and right now we are not very good at it."
Whitesboro sacked Aubrey quarterback Mason Robinson six times and pressured him several other times. He finished the game with 58 passing yards, completing five of his 12 attempts.
Aubrey found some room to run in the first half, gaining 74 yards on the ground and scoring twice. Robinson scored both touchdowns on 2-yard runs. The first gave Aubrey a 7-6 lead. His second run tied the game at 13.
In the second half, Whitesboro made the adjustments and held Aubrey to two yards on the ground.
Defensively, the Chaparrals were tasked with containing Whitesboro senior tailback Collin Kilcrease, who ran for more than 2,000 yards last season. Aubrey limited Kilcrease to 69 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.
But the Chaparrals found no answer for Kilcrease's running mate Ford, who tallied 156 total yards and two touchdowns.
"I felt coming into the game that we needed to stop #2 [Cody Ford]," Segleski said. "He made a couple of big plays and that was the difference in the ballgame."
Ford's 48-yard run opened the scoring. His 46-yard touchdown reception from Kyle Lynn late in the second quarter put the Bearcats up for good at 20-13.
Ford added a long run in the fourth quarter to set up Lynn's 1-yard plunge into the end zone to put the game out of reach.
Aubrey responded to Ford's first touchdown with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ate 5:06 off the clock. Daniel Longhenry carried the ball six times for 25 yards on the drive.
Robinson hit Josh Millican and RyLee Hellman with passes to keep the march going.
A facemask penalty and Longhenry run put the ball at the 2 for Robinson to sneak into the end zone.
After Kilcrease gave Whitesboro the lead early in the second quarter, the Aubrey defense set up a tying score for the Chaparrals. Chancy Hull sacked Lynn at the Bearcat 15-yard line and forced a fumble. Cole Cannon picked up the loose ball and got it to the 7.
Two plays later, Robinson pushed the ball into the end zone from a yard out to tie the score at 13.
That was all the scoring the Chaparrals could muster.
"We definitely had our chances tonight," Segleski said. "Our defense played a good game. They made a couple of mistakes to give up the big plays. Offensively, we have to find a way to get our passing game going."

September 12th 2012 – Jessica Bowes, Canada
My friend and I were in Zaragoza for a competition. It was important to us that our surroundings were comfortable so that we could fully concentrate on what we were there to do. The Albergue Hostel was so perfect and I don't think any hotel could be more comfortable for the price and location that we were in. From the moment that we walked in the door to the moment we left, the staff was so welcoming and helpful. Without question, I would recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Zaragoza!!

When Racism Strikes you, STRIKE BACK!
My Louis Vuitton blog entry has virally spread over the internet. Thank you, bloggers, for spreading it like fire. Hopefully this one does too:
I just watched Bruno, the funniest movie in my life written and starred by comic genius Sacha Baron Cohen, creator of Borat.
After being the 7,148,170th viewer of this trailer, I knew I was going to laugh sooo hard that I brought my entire gang of amorous laughers (that will be my brothers and sister-in-law who are not ashamed to laugh out loud) and chose a relatively new mall (the new Eastwood mall) so that we could laugh to our heart's content.
I was so afraid that my "Power Plant movie experience" was going to have a sequel because I was discriminated by the elitist moviegoers in Rockwell for laughing so loud. You see, it's very difficult to live in the Philippines when you don't go with the norm. You will be looked down and be ostracized. In short, if you don't go with the norm, you will be a victim of discrimination.
You have to follow certain rules like: In an elitist atmosphere, BAWAL ANG MALAKAS TUMAWA. HINDI KA SOSYAL KUNG MALAKAS KA TUMAWA. MAY MASAMANG MANGYAYARI SA IYO KUNG MALAKAS KANG TUMAWA.
Matthew Estabillo, a "YS" writer for Philippine Star would agree with me because he wrote a similar experience while watching the same film I watched two weeks ago in Power Plant mall.
Two weeks ago, I watched a very funny flick Hangover in the said mall's cinema. It was very appalling because the movie was full of people watching yet I was the only one laughing so hard. The movie contained so may punchlines, I was laughing almost every five seconds.
Komedyante ako, e, masaya akong tao. Mababaw ang kaligayahan ko. The bad thing was that when the lights opened, everyone was looking at me like I was some kind of freak who was bothering their "serious viewing" of the film.
I looked back at everyone and said, "What? It's a comedy. You're supposed to laugh!"
What was worse was the Caucasian guy behind me kicked my chair three times every time I would laugh so hard. This pissed me off. To kick me once could be an accident. Caucasian men do have long legs, he was probably stretching. The second time was a harder kick but I thought, maybe he was just irritated with my loud laugh. But on the third time, he made me get up from my seat, turn to him, and point directly at his face.
I said: "Please stop kicking my chair. You did it thrice already. I'm warning you!"
He stared back. The "Burgos chic" wrapped around him like an accessory stared at me as well. (Burgos chics are dark, exotic Filipinas picked up by foreigners on Burgos Street near the Power Plant mall).
My 5'9″ tall husband aided me and joined the staring game, so did his six foot tall brother and my sister in law. Caucasian guy and Burgos chic were outnumbered. Add the fact that he's in the Philippines! Ipa-deport ko kaya siya?
This was not the first time I stood up and defended myself from Caucasians who think that they are above you just because you're Asian.
My husband Emil, Tifanny (a friend), and I were leaving from our holiday in Malaga. We were in line to board the plane to Guangzhou, China, when suddenly an elderly posh French couple, who were both wearing white with matching hats, cut the line. Being schooled in U.P. (University of Pila), I usually don't have the patience for people cutting lines and tell them to fall in line. But I was also brought up to respect elders. So, I gave the French seniors the benefit of cutting the line even if Mrs. Sosyal looked at me condescendingly from head to foot before rudely cutting in.
I could read her thought bubble, "I'm French, youre Asian. I can cut your line." If she could only read my thought bubble, "Kung di ka lang matanda, di kita pasisingitin."
To my amusement, she was in economy just like us and was seated directly behind me. Akala ko pa naman sa First class siya kung makabihis at makatingin sa akin, pweh. I was into deep sleep when the attendants began serving meals. Mrs. Sosyal probably wanted me to pull up my seat because her meal was being served, but being a bigot, Mrs. Sosyal slammed the back of my seat instead of asking me nicely.
She slammed it so hard I thought our plane crashed and I stood up from my deep slumber shouting, "Haaa!" Then I realized that the plane didn't crash.
It was Mrs. Sosyal who crashed after my speech. I turned my back and pointed my finger in her face. "You! Apologize to me now or have your guts stabbed when you're out in the streets of China. You don't know who my parents are. Apologize!"
The husband and wife started to panic and started talking in French in a very apologetic way. Hanggang French 100 lang ako sa U.P. at sampung taon na ang nakaraan kaya di umubra. "In English! Aplogize in English!" I shouted. By this time, two flight attendants were already trying to calm me down. I didn't stop until they said the word "sorry." Wala ako pakialam kahit mag-desolee (sorry in French) sila ng 100 times! When I sat down, I thanked my husband for not stopping me.
Emil: "Okay sa script, ha, ano dating mo, anak ng Chinese mafia?"
Giselle: "Mukha naman ako Chinese, di ba? Malay ba nilang Pinoy ako. Para matakot 'yang mga lecheng 'yan paglabas ng Guanzhou airport. Tignan mo ngayon, sorry sila ng sorry. Natakot masaksak. Akala talaga nila Chinese mobster magulang ko. Kung alam lang nila na Bisaya magulang ko at anak lang ako ng pobreng ut*n. Hahaha!"
Tifanny: "Bilib talaga ako sa 'yo, girl. Hindi ko magagawa 'yan. Kung sa akin nangyari 'yan, mananahimik na lang ako."
I told Tifanny what Korean-American Margaret Cho said in her stand-up comedy DVD Notorious:
"If you are a woman, a person of color, if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, if you're a person of size, a person of intelligence, a person of integrity, then you are considered a minority in this world……When you don't have self esteem, you will hesitate to do anything in your life. You will hesitate to ask for a raise, you will hesitate to report a rape, you will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against…For us, self-esteem is truly an act of revolution, and our revolution is long overdue. I urge you all today to be yourselves without reservation and to love each other without restraint. Unless you're into leather…."
I was lucky to be brought up by parents who raised my self-esteem to the highest level despite the fact that we were poor. So parents, I urge you, love your children, never put them down, always praise and build their confidence. So that when your children go out in the real world, they can defend themselves from being ostracized. Because no matter how rich you are or how powerful you are, you have no right to belittle anyone.

Wouldn't it be fun to see that "Chrstmas Spirit" - caring about others and suchlike, especially the poor and downtrodden - all year round and not only once a year? It's a bit like Mother's Day - surely Mum loves it, when she gets flowers and a Dinner invitation ONCE a year, and has to do the chores (without thanks and flowers) for the other 364 days..
And the prize for best reply to this thread goes to Dandelion.
Hear Hear Sir I'm in total agreement with you
No Christmas tree in this apartment either but that is largely down to a young and MENTAL cat who would trash it within hours
I'm planning a sponsored walk just for me.
Over the last few weeks my doctor has told me I'm not well. He has given me a list of things I can and can't do
If I was a normal person and took his advice to the letter I would have wrapped myself up in cotton wool balls and gone to bed until spring
I'm sure it will come as no surprise to this forum that I am a very long way removed from being normal
I already had this idea in mind but reading Dandelions post has spurred me on.
On Christmas Day I am going to walk to the top of a local spot.
Yes Manchester does have beauty spots as I'm sure Dotsie will confirm
Ok at 1100 feet above sea level I'm not expecting to get into The Guinness Book of Records and not too worried about encountering an unfriendly Yeti but as my Doctor tells me the local shop is too far then that's a challenge to authority and right up my street
If I make it I will donate the price of a Christmas tree to an organization who will make sure it goes to the poor and downtrodden. (So that'll mean it will come back to me then ).
Thanks for inspiring me Dandelion and a very Merry Christmas to you.
Best wishes

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called for the players to do more to lift the side out of their current slump.
The Reds lost a third consecutive league match at Sunderland on Saturday - the first time that has happened since 2003. It has left them in seventh, just two points ahead of Everton ahead of Tuesday's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
"The players need to take responsibility for where we are in the league," Gerrard said. "It's just not good enough for a club like us to be there. We have to find a better level of consistency. We need a reaction and there's no better team to produce that against than Everton."

Huh. And here I thought he was too busy hanging out with his swell designer friends to write that Buck Rogers stuff.
I got rid of about half of the books in my personal library over the last few weeks, mostly SF, and I'm really reticent to re-expand it, but for chairman bruces I might make an exception.
I started reading this earlier today and it is excellent so far. I'm only ~150 pages in but it seems to be one of the best things Sterling has written.

Alaska earthquake registers 7.2 magnitude, tsunami warning issued
September 2, 2011 - 08:07 am
Decrease Increase Text size
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A tsunami warning is in effect for parts of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the Pacific Ocean.
The USGS says the earthquake struck in the ocean at about 6:55 a.m. EDT, and there are no initial reports of injuries or damage.
The tsunami warning is in effect for coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass to Amchitka Pass. The areas are very remote and not heavily populated, according to Jessica Sigala, geophysicist with the USGS in Golden, Colo.
No more details were immediately available.
In June, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 in the same area also prompted a tsunami warning in the Aleutians.
