***The Official Pacquiao-Mayweather Fantasy Fight Thread***
Anyone else f*cking sick and tired of the same old pointless arguments being rehashed over and over again since last year? Floyd and his people have not said a single word about Pacquiao or any fight for that matter and both Floyd and Roger go on trial/will be arraigned in late January. So already there's a huge hurdle that can't be jumped, and it seems Jr is determined to make his 'vacation' last as long as possible meanwhile Pac and his people are talking Martinez, Mosley, Berto, etc. Splits, Blood tests, who's ducking, etc... This fight is officially a fantasy bout. Pacquiao-Mayweather is in the same realm as Ali-Tyson.
So keep all the pointless bullsh*t in this one thread.
Go Nuts.

Dear support,
Some of the products in my store are priceless, and I would like to keep it that way. The only problem is that the 'Add to Cart' button doesn't show up on a pricesless product, while I would like it to show. Giving the product a price of €0,- is not an option for me unfortunately. I googled the heck out of it cause it seemed like a pretty basic request. But the only thing turning up unfortunately is how to remove the 'Add to Cart' button :P.
Kind regards,

Nothing happens after fields are populated and the submit button is checked. No lead or anything is created. Not sure what happened. This behavior just started recently.
You're sure no lead is being created?
The default leads view does not always show you the most recent leads... silly, but true.
To be sure, click Go! next to "Todays Leads" after submitting the lead form.
Did you install/upgrade any plugins around the time it stopped working?
I just checked again. I'm noticing no lead is getting created because the plugin usually says "success" when its created. I'm not getting anything after hitting submit.
I don't recall any plugins being installed recently, especially around the time this stopped working.
I thought about uninstalling the plugin and re-installing it but I'm afraid I'll lose all the forms I created in the plugin.
Any ideas on why it doesn't work? any plugins you know that conflict with it?
If you're not seeing a success message, something is going wrong before the data gets submitted (or SF is not responding as expected).
Can you follow the steps outlined here and email me the error log (submit the form at least once)?*
BBPress and JetPack have been reported to have issues in the past.
* Find my email here:
ok good, I don't have any of those installed.
I tried to add that code and submit another form again and no logs are being created in wp-content. is it just in the root of the folder or in the theme I'm using?
debug.log should appear in the base wp-content directory (not the active theme). If no log file is appearing, no errors are being generated. Which is odd... as clearly it's not connecting to Salesforce so it should be logging that fact.
Can you tell me more about where your site is hosted?
Can I see one of the forms having issues?

Tomorrow night will see the Zapata baseball team will come to Laredo for their area round match up with Sinton. The Hawks are looking to exact a bit of revenge on the Pirates after being bounced by this same team in the bi-district round last season. No matter what, the boys from Zapata are excited to play at a pair of stadiums they rarely get the chance to take the field in as they play at Unitrade Stadium and Whataburger Field.
The Hawks and Pirates will play a three game series starting tomorrow night at 7pm at Unirade Stadium. The series will then shift to Corpus's Whataburger Field for games two and if necessary game three on Saturday.

Buses, not commuter trains, might be emerging as the better future transit option linking St. Paul and Hastings as planners take a second look.
Construction is expected to begin this summer in Newport on the first of four transit stations in the Red Rock Corridor — which runs mostly parallel along Hwy. 61 before bending west along Interstate 94 to St. Paul's Union Depot transit hub.
Those four Red Rock Corridor transit stations, to be located in Hastings, Cottage Grove and at Lower Afton Road in Maplewood, will initially serve as park-and-ride express bus stops. A 2007 analysis of transit alternatives had settled on adding a commuter rail line as the long-term future transit choice.
But a lot has changed in the past six years, and the gears appear to be shifting.
With so many millions of dollars, and the future of east-metro transit, at stake, it's important to get it right, said Washington County Commissioner Autumn Lehrke, who also is chairwoman of the Red Rock Corridor Commission, which is overseeing that planning.
At a public workshop in St. Paul Park last week, the first of many sessions this year seeking input from communities along the corridor, those changing assumptions were at the forefront of discussion.
For Lehrke, it's looking more like bus-rapid transit (BRT) is a better way to go. It's the same conclusion drawn by planners of the Gateway Corridor, the east-west transit link in Washington County connecting St. Paul and the east metro along I-94, although light-rail is still under consideration for that route.
With BRT, buses run in their own lanes with minimal stops — it's been described as light-rail on wheels. Commuter trains like those envisioned for the Red Rock Corridor, in contrast to light-rail, are typically larger and only run during morning and evening rush hours.
As public transit has developed across the Twin Cities, the lessons learned are helping shape better planning, Lehrke said. "Let's look at the data, and make data-driven decisions," she said.
One such object lesson is the Northstar Commuter Rail connecting Minneapolis and Big Lake, which has struggled with operating costs and attracting riders.
Other factors since 2007 have also changed, Lehrke added: the first BRT line in the Twin Cities, along Cedar Avenue linking Apple Valley and Bloomington, comes online in late spring — offering a test case for similar systems that follow; the 2010 census offers new data on the transit market; there have been massive upgrades to Hwy. 61, including a new bridge being built over the Mississippi River at Hastings, that will change traveling patterns; and a massive study of railroad traffic in the east metro that raised serious concerns about adding more passenger lines to an already stressed freight rail system.
And there's the human factor, she said.
"When I was running for office, knocking on doors and talking to people about commuter rail, and they were expressing a lot of concerns the more they learned about it," she said. Those included high operating costs and the limiting of service to just two peak times a day. It was estimated six years ago that commuter rail would cost $366 million, and take years before coming on line.
"People want to be able to get to Twins games, they want that flexibility of all-day service," Lehrke said of BRT's advantages — which also include being half as costly as light-rail. "They want to take advantage of BRT service for those recreational opportunities, and it should be available to people who work any shift — not just the first shift. And they don't want a system 20 years from now, they want something sooner than that."
As that planning moves forward, the reality of changes in the Red Rock Corridor is already taking shape. The Newport transit station will likely be open by November, said Andy Gitzlaff, senior planner for Washington County.
It will be built on the site of the former Knox Lumber Yard on Maxwell Avenue near the Interstate 694/Hwy. 61 interchange. A 200-stall park-and ride surface are part of the initial plans, but a larger retail and residential development around the station is envisioned in the future.

What initially annoyed me was the fact that these jeans came in a completely unusable wooden box that seems bad for the environment. What made me write this review was that fact that after only wearing them for two hours, I noticed white spots all over the rear of the jeans. I thought I had sat on bird poop. The top layer of rear pocket black embellishments had rubbed off and exposed to the white vinyl under-layer. Trust me it's not cute.
im so exited i dnt kno wer to start. im 5 10 and 29 waist. ive been lookin for long enough jeans dat will still fit me well. these are the most perfect pair of fitted jeans ive ever had. im 29!!!!!!!!! i ordered 3 more da same afternoon i received them. shipping took forever though about one full week for the single pair of pants. even took bout 2 weeks for the 3 other ones to get her. overstock need to work on their shipping but their products are accurate and great. vive laguna beach jeans. i will never again struggle for jeans as long as their are in business. lagggguuuunaaa beachhhh. get them all before i do!

New York — The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched today a new publication at its Executive Board meeting showcasing transformative development achievements in Eastern European and Central Asian countries. Much of these successes are based on innovative new social policies addressing the needs of that region's chronically poor and marginalized, including the Roma, youth, the long-term unemployed and people with disabilities.
The publication, Empowering Lives, Building Resilience, provides vivid examples of "triple-win" strategies that aim to advance social, economic and environmental objectives simultaneously. As a result of these often innovative strategies, UNDP – always in partnership with governments, the private sector and civil society – has helped to create jobs, meet the needs of the most vulnerable, manage the environment responsibly and provide for the prevention of and recovery from crisis and disaster.
"There are common qualities to transformational change, regardless of the context or country in which it takes place," said Helen Clark, who heads UNDP. "Some critical characteristics of successful transformational change include measurable results, strong partnerships with governments and civil society and improved national capacity to manage development projects autonomously."
Despite the relatively high average income in many of the region's countries, large numbers of people are poor or at the risk of falling into poverty. Growing inequalities, due to social, economic and political exclusion, remain a challenge. Environmental degradation, especially the high rates of greenhouse gas emissions in some countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, poses additional threats to development.
"Each story documents how UNDP responds to the demands of governments in Europe and Central Asia, delivering sophisticated policy support that mitigates the impact of economic and environmental shocks that have the potential to push populations back into poverty," said Cihan Sultanoglu, Director of UNDP's Bureau for Europe and the Commonwealth Independent States.

At that point this "membership" was to be cancelled. When the end of the next month rolled around I once again had this charge appear on my bank account, when I called again I went through the same hassel as the first month, "They didn't take my money because I wasn't even in their database". Eventually I received a credit for the $7.95. I just checked my bank account and believe it or not the $7.95 has been taken out once again. Web site to stay away from www.GrantMasterCD.com
Cincinnati, Ohio
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Burgers vector
In physics, the Burgers vector, named after Dutch physicist Jan Burgers, is a vector, often denoted b, that represents the magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion resulting from a dislocation in a crystal lattice.[1]
The vector's magnitude and direction is best understood when the dislocation-bearing crystal structure is first visualized without the dislocation, that is, the perfect crystal structure. In this perfect crystal structure, a rectangle whose lengths and widths are integer multiples of "a" (the unit cell edge length) is drawn encompassing the site of the original dislocation's origin. Once this encompassing rectangle is drawn, the dislocation can be introduced. This dislocation will have the effect of deforming, not only the perfect crystal structure, but the rectangle as well. The said rectangle could have one of its sides disjoined from the perpendicular side, severing the connection of the length and width line segments of the rectangle at one of the rectangle's corners, and displacing each line segment from each other. What was once a rectangle before the dislocation was introduced is now an open geometric figure, whose opening defines the direction and magnitude of the Burgers vector. Specifically, the breadth of the opening defines the magnitude of the Burgers vector, and, when a set of fixed coordinates is introduced, an angle between the termini of the dislocated rectangle's length line segment and width line segment may be specified.
The direction of the vector depends on the plane of dislocation, which is usually on one of the closest-packed crystallographic planes. The magnitude is usually represented by the equation:
where a is the unit cell edge length of the crystal, ||b|| is the magnitude of Burgers vector and h, k, and l are the components of the Burgers vector, b = <h k l>. In most metallic materials, the magnitude of the Burgers vector for a dislocation is of a magnitude equal to the interatomic spacing of the material, since a single dislocation will offset the crystal lattice by one close-packed crystallographic spacing unit.
In edge dislocations, the Burgers vector and dislocation line are perpendicular to one another. In screw dislocations, they are parallel.[2]
The Burgers vector is significant in determining the yield strength of a material by affecting solute hardening, precipitation hardening and work hardening.

Swamp Gravy
158 E. Main Street
Colquitt, GA 39837
Each performance of Swamp Gravy is an original, crowd-pleasing blend of comedy, drama, and music, featuring a cast of more than 100 volunteers who transform Southern life into unforgettable theater. These volunteers, who are the backbone of all of the efforts of the Arts Council, bring to life the stories that have helped shape our community. All of Swamp Gravy's plays are based on real-life stories taken from taped interviews and adapted for the stage by a professional playwright. Each year, a new script and original music are written and re-enacted by an local cast, who give professional-quality performances in an effort to celebrate a culture that is uniquely rural South Georgia. Swamp Gravy has been gaining national attention since its inception. As a testament to that authenticity, the state's general assembly designated Swamp Gravy "Georgia's Official Folk Life Play" thanks to the efforts of then-Rep. Cathy Cox.

Just thought I'd post a fix for this:
Change line 348 of fancybox.php to:
$mfbfwadmin = add_submenu_page('options-general.php', 'Fancybox for WordPress Options', 'Fancybox for WP', 'edit_plugins', 'fancybox-for-wordpress', 'mfbfw_options_page');
In debug mode, it was throwing an annoying "has_cap is depreciated" error, so I changed the "10" to "edit_plugins".
Hope that helps someone!

"RE: Strange Tamron"
I think you're right Mick. It must have something to do with the contacts. This lens snaps in real tight and I have used it on my D60 with no problem. What was funny was that I had a shutter speed of 1/60 on the LCD and 1/2500 in the view finder. The lens had stopped way down so the photo was almost black. The camera obviously wasn't communicating correctly with the lens but having just gotten the camera back from Nikon Repair it caused some concern. Pretty much has to be the contacts.Stan

2006 Mazda MPV Minivan LX-SV 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
We have two young daughters with a child on the way and our MPV has been great. It drives like a sedan. The window sills are low, which allows great visibility from the driver's seat. It has more than enough power, but gets better than expected gas mileage. The third row seat folds down into the floor to provide exceptional storage capacity. It has served our family well.
Cruise control
Within 24 hours of MPV delivery by dealer, the "check engine" light went on. A defective/damaged fuel cap was the cause. Other than that, it is fun to drive this MPV. Engine is powerful but acceleration is not linear. Price is attractive, $17K out to door for LX-SV, probably because this is the last model year.
I use it for commuting. It has decent space for me to even lie flat to take a nap after lunch, after folding the third row flat. Base model equipment is decent.
Fuel cap material is too poor. No wonder the sales screwed it up. Fuel economy has a lot to be desired.
Purchased car this month and after 300 miles, the computer went out and left us stranded in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic...sideways! Dealer very helpful and gave us a loaner car and replaced computer in less than a week. Very happy customer with this dealership. When accelerating from a stop, sometimes...sometimes...it feels like power is not constant. Almost like driving a turbo with turbo lag.
Much more fun to drive than either the Toyota or Honda vans. More sporty feel perhaps because of smaller size. Has a little of that "zoom-zoom" feeling.
Since van is smaller, engine should be more fuel efficient. My first tank produced 18 mpg and the 2nd tank only 16 mpg. Both tanks city driving; 2nd tank while weather was 5 degrees hotter outside, that's the only difference. A/T could be more refined.
I just bought a new 2006 Mazda LX-SV and love it. The way it drives and handles, the look and layout of the seats. I love that the 2 middle seats can be close or apart from each other. It handles very nicely and comfortable to sit in.
Volume control on steering wheel and fold down holder in between driver and passenger.
Make the driver seat electric adjustment rather than manual.
i got the LX-SV for less than $18k out the door. It's not as comfy as the Sienna but for the price it will do. Took it on a few 2 hour rides and no complaints so far. The gas mileage is average for a van. Handling is decent with good road feel (unlike other vans). A basic Sienna without side airbags would have cost about $5k more. The transmission has felt fine so far.
Styling, price, audio & cruise control on steering wheel, longer warranty than competitors.
Better interior materials (seats lack support, standard Homelink and compass on rear view mirror.

Combining with an extracellular signal and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex.
A series of molecular signals initiated by activation of a receptor on the surface of a cell. The pathway begins with binding of an extracellular ligand to a cell surface receptor, or for receptors that signal in the absence of a ligand, by ligand-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).

Tylenol Is Not Always Safe to Take
Though most people initially think that Tylenol is just another of the safe drugs that can relieve a little bit of pain, recent reports indicate that Tylenol is not always safe to take. The FDA has recently fielded a number of complaints on the issue. They have received so many complaints, in fact, that the association put out a report in early 2011 about the dangers of taking too much acetaminophin. Specifically, it appears that there is a direct link between the drug and high-level liver damage. Though you might think it's safe to take Tylenol, this is likely not the case.
The link between Tylenol and liver damage
The most troubling fact for users of Tylenol has to be the direct link to liver damage. The active component in Tylenol is acetaminophin and ingesting too much of this can cause liver damage. This is especially true in people who are already prone to weak livers. The problems have been so severe that many individuals have needed a transplant and some cases have ended in death. This is an especially difficult fact to handle for those individuals who have relief upon the drug for many years. Though its fever reducing and pain reducing power is well noted, recent reports indicate that taking Tylenol is just not worth the risk in many cases.
When is it not safe to take Tylenol?
It is worth noting that not all people who take Tylenol end up with liver problems. The numbers are staggering enough that the FDA is now mandating better warnings and lower doses of the drug, though. So when is it not a good idea to take Tylenol? The following are examples of instances when Tylenol and its high concentration of acetaminophin can cause liver damage:
- Taking Tylenol with even a small amount of alcohol
- Combining Tylenol with any other drug that features acetaminophin
- Ingesting the drug while struggling with other liver or kidney problems
- Taking too much Tylenol at one time
- Ingesting too much of the drug in a 24-hour period
Though most of the more difficult cases have resulted from people overdosing on the drug, there have been direct links to liver damage from taking even a small amount of the drug.
What is the FDA doing?
Because it is now a relatively known fact that Tylenol is not always safe to take, the government is taking some actions to make sure people are protected. Better warnings are on the horizon, listing the possible liver issues that might result. Likewise, 325 milligrams of acetaminophin per tablet appears to be the new limit, hopefully making the drug more palatable for consumers. For those who have previously taken it, though, this is not much consolation. Those individuals will have to seek redress through the court system.Free Case Evaluation

In the 1970s she participated in the brain-mapping studies sweeping the Nation's Universities at the time, ultimately responsible for helping to pinpoint VMH (ventro-medial hypothalamus) contributions to behavior.
Dr Carroll comes from a line of researchers, so she cannot escape its pull. Her great-grandfather was a 'Marconi-guy' who ground and inked the frequencies of each crystal used in his home-made radio sets—with which he was able to reach South America and Europe from Ireland. His patents still hold sway at Motorola. Her father set records as an oceanographer diving to 3,300 feet. She was raised with the reel-to-reel songs of the whales and dolphins he recorded, altering her brain-waves inexorably.
Dr Carroll enjoyed a successful career as an International Educator, teaching AP Calculus in 7 different countries around the world. She holds a PhD in Counseling; MA Exercise Physiology; and BA in Neurophysiological Psychology. She affirms that Research will put Chiropractic where it belongs.

One size fits some: the impact of patient treatment attitudes on the cost-effectiveness of a depression primary-care intervention 1
Background. Despite their impact on outcomes, the effect of patient treatment attitudes on the cost-effectiveness of health-care interventions is not widely studied. This study estimated the impact of patient receptivity to antidepressant medication on the cost-effectiveness of an evidence-based primary-care depression intervention.
Method. Twelve community primary-care practices were stratified and then randomized to enhanced (intervention) or usual care. Subjects included 211 patients beginning a new treatment episode for major depression. At baseline, 111 (52·6%) and 145 (68·7%) reported receptivity to antidepressant medication and counseling respectively. The intervention trained the primary-care teams to assess, educate, and monitor depressed patients. Twelve-month incremental (enhanced minus usual care) total costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated.
Results. Among patients receptive to antidepressants, the mean incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $5864 per QALY (sensitivity analyses up to $14689 per QALY). For patients not receptive to antidepressants, the mean incremental QALY score was negative (for both main and sensitivity analyses), or the intervention was at least no more effective than usual care.
Conclusions. These findings suggest a re-thinking of the 'one size fits all' depression intervention, given that half of depressed primary-care patients may be non-receptive to antidepressant medication treatment. A brief assessment of treatment receptivity should occur early in the treatment process to identify patients most likely to benefit from primary-care quality improvement efforts for depression treatment. Patient treatment preferences are also important for the development, design, and analysis of depression interventions.

Nuggets agree to deal with Nate Robinson
DENVER The Denver Nuggets just quickened an already speedy backcourt by bringing in Nate Robinson.
The veteran point guard agreed to a two-year deal on Monday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hadnt been officially announced.
Robinson joins Ty Lawson to give the Nuggets a tandem that can fly up and down the floor. The addition of Robinson also creates a backlog in the backcourt, with the Nuggets already having up-and-comer Evan Fournier, veteran Andre Miller, rookie Erick Green and newly acquired Randy Foye as well.
The Denver Post first reported the deal.
The 5-foot-9 Robinson averaged 13 points a contest for the Chicago Bulls last season. He stepped up his game in the postseason, scoring 34 points in a triple overtime win in Game 4 against Brooklyn and playing through the flu later in that series.
Soon after reaching his decision, Robinson wrote on his Twitter account that it was a difficult decision to leave the Bulls: I know the nba is a Business but when u build friendships with guys on the team its hard to say goodbye ... Thanks again chitown one love.
Robinson will be reunited with some familiar faces on the court in the Mile High City. He suited up with Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari when they all played for the New York Knicks, one of five different teams Robinson has played for since being drafted in the first round out of the University of Washington in 2005.
This has been a bustling offseason for a Denver squad that won a franchise-best 57 games only to bow out in the first round for the fourth straight season. The team also brought in a new general manager in Tim Connelly and hired Brian Shaw to take over for George Karl, the NBA Coach of the Year who was ousted.
Then, the Nuggets overhauled their roster as they sent Andre Iguodala, their top perimeter defender, to Golden State in a sign-and-trade deal that also involved Utah and eventually landed Foye in Denver.
Nearly two weeks ago, the Nuggets bolstered their frontcourt by signing free agent forward J.J. Hickson to a three-year deal.
With the addition of Robinson, the team now has six new players on the roster, along with a first-year head coach.MORE IN Sports WireFARMINGDALE, N.Y. The Olympics are over.

USA K-11 Misty Armed with .50 claiber canons
In the 1960's the USSR developed a space cannon .50 caliber automatic weapon for defense against ramming by ASATs in space. recently the United states has developed and deployed many space guns so to speak that have rocket assisted ammo, and in space the round could travel at speed unfettered for millions of miles at speed, and uses the Patriot Missile system targeting mathmatics to calculate anticipated trajectory, and infrared to gather current speed and trajectory, thus enabling it to hit the target, high speed digital zoom cameras are used to track hits. Lockheed Martin is the leed contractor on the project. The number of Misty Crystal sats with this capability launched are an unknown, yet the technology is simple and video of it can be seen as shown on any battle ship with an auto cannon.

Virtual Ride
RestrictionsA DEC permit is required. Th permit is free and can be attained at the CLIMB website or at the NYS DEC website.
OverviewThis is a fairly long loop for a beginner. However, it's mostly flat with some easy climbs and descents mixed in. Enjoy the scenery of Rocky Point Conservation Area as you ride through what seems like a few different ecosystems. The area is a good mix of beginner and intermediate trails.
Need To KnowThe trail crosses a two lane public road that runs through the middle of the area. This area is closed from November 1 to approximately April 1 for hunting. There is a main parking lot on Route 21 just North of Whiskey Rd. It's on the West side of the road and easy to miss. There is also a second parking area on Route 25A just East of Route 21 (Rocky Point Rd).
DescriptionThis loop is pretty straightforward to follow. This is a one way loop that is mostly flat, but is fairly long. The trail is not technical, and would be suitable for beginners, but be wary of the length and give yourself plenty of time. There are bailouts to take you back to the parking area, but it still might be a hike for some. The main loop is 13 miles and is pretty firm hard pack.
If you're looking for a longer adventure, take the West Side Loop that branches from the Main Loop after about a mile. Including this added loop, and the optional side obstacles (demarcated by diamond blazes) you'll be in for a 24 mile ride.
The diamonds are more difficult terrain, but are still easy to navigate. All the diamonds on this trail loop back to the main loop. Most of the diamonds are relatively short but might require more than beginner skills. There are some short steep climbs and technical riding mixed with rollers and log overs. An intermediate rider will probably need at least two hours to complete the whole thing with all the diamonds. Leave yourself at least 3 hours before sunset just to be sure.
History & BackgroundThis was originally known as the RCA area. On January 7, 1927 Commercial transatlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York & London from this very spot. As you ride this trail you'll see huge cement footings and metal towers now laying in the woods used to support the huge antennas of the day. Several spots in the trail you ride over the guy wires. Rocky Point was also the home of Nikola Tesla for a time.

The Adventures of Taco, a little dog lost in the big city, Part 2
Let's call this The Adventures of Taco, Parte Dos.
Or, put another way: We've still got the stray Chihuahua-Rat Terrier mix that showed up on our doorsteps three weeks ago.
It pains me to tell you what that means: Nuestra casa se ha convertido en una casa de perro.
Translation: Our home has turned into a dog house!
It also means that, despite exhausting an array of resources – from animal shelters and rescue groups, from social media to a digital network of neighborhood organizations — we weren't able to find Taco's owner.
And that means we may be stuck with Taco if we can't find him a good home – and, ahem, if we can bring ourselves to part with the perky fellow.
One rescue group offered to neuter Taco, pay for any shots he needs and post his picture on their site if we'd agree to foster him until it found a good home for him.
My wife, Shannon, agreed, but then never got a response to two follow-up emails.
And as I mentioned, another group, Operation Kindness, the largest no-kill shelter in North Texas, simply didn't have room for Taco, at least not at the time.
A spokeswoman for the nonprofit agency, which has saved more than 85,000 dogs and cats over the past 40 years, told me Wednesday that the agency is in sore need of people to foster puppies and adult dogs.
More than half the agency's space is devoted to pets rescued from municipal animal shelters, and the rest come from first responders, owners and Good Samaritans.
We fall in the last group.
And let me tell you, saving Taco has been an eye-opening experience. As in, I haven't gotten much sleep since.
Not all of my sleepless nights are Taco's fault. As you may recall, we got a German Shephered (Hunter) and a Boxer (Luna) puppy the week before Christmas.
So, almost overnight, we went from having one docile, mild-mannered dog (Daisy) – a Pomeranian we adoped from a rescue group back in 2010 – to a pack of four.
It's like having three toddlers and a teenager who doesn't want anybody to bother her all under one roof.
And of course, we've got our human babies, Selah (9) and Judah (7), who are growing attached to Taco and don't want him to be sent to anyone who can't offer him a trust fund and a college education.
Seriously, what I've learned – or what I'm reminded of, I should say – is that all these agencies and Good Samaritans that are trying to save these precious animals have their work cut out for them.
Since we rescued Taco, for instance, I've seen at least three or four more notices of dogs found just in my neck of the woods, the Town Creek area of Lake Highlands.
On the outskirts of Lake Highlands, the problem got so bad that Highland Meadows – an area bordered by Plano Road, Walnut Hill Lane, Northwest Highway and Jupiter Road – formed a "Petwatch" service to help connect "lost" pets with their owners.
On its web site, the Highland Meadows Neighborhood Association points out that it's not a "rescue" but rather a "reuniting" organization.
"An untold number of family pets have been reunited with their families, and numerous cats and dogs have been placed in loving, new adoptive homes because of our Petwatch," according to the Web site.
Katie Mudd, the Operation Kindness spokeswoman, has lived in Highland Meadows for more than four years. And she's seen firsthand how bad the loose or stray dog problem is there and across North Texas.
"It happens weekly," she said of the "lost" and "found" pet notices that come across her screen. "I've had to re-home animals myself."
Mudd said it looks like we've done just about all we can do to reconnect Taco with his owner, especially since the dog wasn't micro-chipped and didn't have a collar or tag.
There is one silver lining to this story. Of all the phone calls and emails I got about Taco, most were like this one from Harold: "Perhaps, just perhaps, Taco is good karma showing up for you and your family," he said. "My advice is keep him and enjoy his unconditional love."
But my wife and I are homing in on this one: "We lost our friend of 13+ years back in 2004," said a reader named Ralph. "He was a toy poodle and the smartest dog we ever had the joy of sharing our lives with. We've hesitated to bring another animal into our home for various reasons, but maybe it's time."
Ralph said he and his wife are retired, mid-70's and "open for adoption."
"Taco seems to be a good candidate," he said, "and should you not locate the 'owner,' I'd like to offer our home to him."
Oh, my.
The Adventures of Taco are getting complicated.
And while my wife and I are intrigued by this plot twist, I'm not sure if that's how our kids want this tale to end.

For my secret partner in the Scrappy Swap on flickr. Were are swapping fabric scraps to the amount of a rough fat quarter and a small handmade scrappy item. I made a zippered pouch with the quilt-as-you-go method and used some fabulous scraps (well I turned them into scraps, as most are fabrics I recently bought).
Don't you love the seventies' clock and typewriter. I actually typed on one of those when I was young. The clock and typewriter are machine appliqued on a piece of text fabric.
The lining of the bag, made of linen and a fun fabric with VW vans, scooters, fancy cars and bicycles.
One side of the pouch and the bottom
And the other side.
I forgot to take a photo of the top of the bag and the zipper, which is a shame actually, as I've never made a better looking zippered pouch yet. I used the pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, PerfectZipBags. Her explanation steps in the pattern to make a perfect Zippered pouch are the best I've seen so far.
The pouch is filled with fabric scraps and already winging it's way to a land far far away!

Definición de ellipsoid en inglés:
A three-dimensional figure symmetrical about each of three perpendicular axes, whose plane sections normal to one axis are circles and all the other plane sections are ellipses.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- It was found that the maximum total force is experienced when the major axis of the ellipsoid is perpendicular to the flow and the minimum when it is aligned.
- He gave a proof of a result due to Maclaurin, that the attractions at an external point lying on the principal axis of two confocal ellipsoids was proportional to their masses.
- The shape of the red cell during the tank-tread motion resembles a triaxial ellipsoid with the longest axis almost parallel to the direction of the undisturbed flow.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- The particles may have any shape or size, but they are generally spherical, ellipsoidal, polyhedral, or irregular in shape.
- The oil-bearing fluid inclusion morphologies include spherical, oval, ellipsoidal, lath-like and irregular shapes, although there is no obvious relationship between inclusion morphology and quartz cement history.
- A primary concave parabolic mirror converges the light to one focus of a concave ellipsoidal mirror.
