The Bears offense under Marc Trestman could have to lean on basic West Coast passing concepts Sunday at Soldier Field to minimize the talented Bengals defensive line. Think of three-step routes for Jay Cutler to get the ball out with a quick read underneath.
As shown here, the Bears have their Posse personnel (three wide receivers, one tight end, one running back) on the field in an empty alignment versus base nickel package (five defensive backs) playing Cover-2. The idea is to spread the field, run the tare/slant concept and move the sticks in third-and-medium situations.

Sorry to intrude, but did you say booting from USB drives? Is it possible to make PC or amd64 hardware do this? Older machines seem to not do this but I haven't tried on my amd64 machine. If this is possible this simplifies some stuff for me. This would be quite convenient for installing on a lot of machines. Andy

Some comments on conformance: I wonder whether there should be a more specific pointer to the restrictions mentioned in the syntactic conformance, i.e. rather than just pointing to the syntax document, pointing to http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-syntax/#Global_Restrictions_on_Axioms A nit on the must accept/generate RDF/XML. Because of the syntactic restrictions in RDF/XML that prevent serialization of all RDF, for some OWL 2 Full document one MUST do something that isn't possible. I suggest a footnote saying something about this. An alternative would be to specify that NTRIPLES must be acceptable as well. "with respect to a datatype map" -> "with respect to its datatype map" (i.e. the datatype map that the entailment checker supports, as described in subsequent lines). "for example, very large integers". Do we not need a summary of what minimal conformance for literals are? "must return Error if an input document uses datatypes that are not supported by its datatype map or literals that it does not support (for example, very large integers); and" I wonder whether the appropriate response here is Unknown rather than Error. It seems rather like not having enough resources to evaluate the check. "The properties of OWL 2 Full, DL, EL and QL entailment checkers mean that query answering should be both sound and complete. In the case of OWL RL, query answering should be sound, and will also be complete if both the ontology and the query satisfy the constraints described in Theorem 1." Should the "will also be complete" read "should also be complete"? -Alan On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 8:36 AM, Ian Horrocks <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > I updated Conformance and Test Cases [1] both to reflect the resolution of > issue 150 [2] and to address outstanding review comments that were captured > in editors notes.

The third-party observation, prepared by attorneys of Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice, supports the litigation now pending in the US District Court for Eastern District of Tennessee.
CIC Services, a captive manager, filed the lawsuit against the IRS and the US Treasury. The 1 May deadline for micro captives to report to the IRS is rapidly approaching.
Thomas Adams, president and CEO of the NCCIA, said the brief argues that Notice 2016-66, which requires micro captives to provide substantial reports on their activity to the IRS, imposes a heavy burden on the public with little or no benefit to the IRS.
The notice, if not enjoined, will cause irreparable harm to the captive insurance industry and its stakeholders, as well as causing damage to the economic and regulatory interests of North Carolina, according to the brief.
Tennessee Judge Travis McDonough has already conducted a hearing and a ruling is expected soon.
The IRS has argued that Congress has given it the authority to issue this kind of notice.
The US government has also argued the lawsuit is barred by the Anti-Injunction Act, which precludes actions against the government seeking to bar the assessment and collection of taxes.
Adams noted that an appeal from either party to the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is likely, whatever the result.
He added: "The North Carolina Captive Insurance Association is committed to the responsible growth of captives not only in our domicile but throughout the US. We see the filing of this friend of the court brief as yet another example of that on going effort and for North Carolina to be seen as a leader among domiciles."

Radulov scores, Montoya gets shutout as Canadiens defeat Penguins 4-0
Bill Beacon, The Canadian Press
Published Tuesday, October 18, 2016 10:56PM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, October 19, 2016 8:16AM EDT
MONTREAL -- Before the Montreal Canadiens' home opener, the Bell Centre crowd gave a huge ovation to ailing goaltender Carey Price.
After the game, they did the same for his replacement, Al Montoya.
The veteran backup, filling in for a third straight game while Price recovers from a flu, posted a 36-save shutout to lead the Canadiens to a 4-0 victory over the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
In three starts to begin the season, Montoya has a nifty 1.30 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage.
"I feel I've been trying to make a statement for a while," said Montoya, a backup most of his career who signed as a free agent this summer from the Florida Panthers. "For me, this is just an opportunity to play.
"I don't try to overdo anything. I come out, have fun, play my game and let the rest take care of itself. The win is fantastic. That's all we play for, but maybe (the shutout) was the cherry on top."
David Desharnais scored twice. Another off-season signing, Alexander Radulov, got his first goal as a Canadien -- with Montoya picking up an assist. Captain Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal (2-0-1).
"When you see Monty make some of those saves, it gives us an opportunity to try to get him the shutout and try to get some goals for him," said Pacioretty. "You have to credit most of that game to him because he was incredible.
"He played great all three games, but tonight, he gave us a chance. After our goal they had a flurry of chances. There were a couple of times in the first period when he had to come up big. The timeliness of those saves allowed us to get some momentum."
Price fell ill just before the start of the regular season. He got back to work on his own on Sunday and had his first workout with his teammates in the morning skate on Tuesday. It was uncertain if he will be ready to play when the Arizona Coyotes visit on Thursday night.
The Penguins (2-1-1), coming off an overtime loss at home Monday night, played their first road game of the season. Pittsburgh outshot the Canadiens 36-32.
"We have to forget these two games and look forward," said Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. "We have to stay positive right now.
"We knew (Price) was not playing. We know they have a good team. It was opening game for Montreal. And Montoya's a good goalie too. He saved a lot tonight. But we need to score goals because we have great four lines. We had lots of power plays too (0 for 8), but made lots of mistakes."
There were 30 shots taken in the first period -- 17-13 for Pittsburgh -- but was on only the second of the period that Pacioretty opened the scoring at the 23-second mark as he took a feed in the slot from Jeff Petry and beat Marc-Andre Fleury with a wrist shot. Of note were Montoya saves a minute apart in the first on close range attempts by Justin Schultz and Matt Cullen.
Desharnais was parked alone in front of Fleury when he slammed in Pacioretty's blind, backhand pass from the corner 12:07 into the second frame.
Radulov scored 4:31 into the third as he burst down the right wing, cut in front and scored. The Penguins challenged, claiming goaltender interference by Brendan Gallagher, but it was ruled the puck was in before contact was made.
Desharnais was alone at the side of the net to tap in a Jeff Petry cross-ice pass at 13:44 after sustained pressure in the Pittsburgh zone.

Driving Mobile to Scale
Mobile Rising Stars contest aims to give mobile advertising a seat at the "big boys'" table soon.
Mobile Rising Stars contest aims to give mobile advertising a seat at the "big boys'" table soon.
Mobile advertising is beginning to live up to its promise. There is so much innovation at the moment that it's hard to find a more exciting place to be. But as with all beginnings, a million things still need to fall into place before mobile fully evolves.
In order to drive growth, education is vital. We must to continue to educate and evangelize about mobile's range of advantages to marketers and agencies.
Then we need to deliver the goods. In order to do so, we have to establish a more scalable framework where the creativity and special features of smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices are not being compromised.
New ad formats are a given when it comes to achieving this goal. Embracing the ecosystem's desire for richer brand marketing that speaks to mobile's unique requirements and benefits, one of the Interactive Advertising Bureau's key initiatives of this year is the Mobile Rising Stars contest. Winning ad format concepts were revealed a few short weeks ago in Miami Beach at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting. These winning ad concepts will go through a development, deployment, and testing process and, with success, be inducted into the IAB standard advertising unit portfolio, the definitive standards for the digital advertising industry.
Intended to work across all major mobile platforms and allow mobile ad buys at the same scale and scope as typical online display buys, the Mobile Rising Stars have the potential to finally allow mobile a chance at a proper seat at the "big boys'" table. (Besides, what kind of "big boy" doesn't have a few mobile gadgets by his side at all times?)
Rising Stars Principles
In establishing the Mobile Rising Stars winners, we sought formats that were clear in conception and natural for consumers, media companies, and brands alike, as well as being attuned to the unique aspects of the smartphone and tablet world. Thus the rising stars include units that translate seamlessly between a device's portrait and landscape modes, and units where swiping is a primary means of interaction.
In some cases, these mobile units echo or resemble the IAB display rising stars (the filmstrip, for example), which makes perfect sense. A "family resemblance" can help creative agencies accelerate the development of great ads. However, the IAB did not simply force-fit display ad units to the mobile world – just recycling the same formats onto smartphones and tablets would miss the mark, leaving some of mobile's greatest advantages behind.
MMA and Standard Banners
Standard banners will continue to be an important form of mobile and tablet advertising (just as they are on PCs), and the IAB crafted Mobile Rising Stars to minimize the possibility of conflict with the existing Mobile Marketing Association guidelines for banners on handsets.
When MMA ad standards are revised, the IAB is happy to comment, and, in fact, has endorsed its latest "Universal mobile ad package."
As with display ad banners on personal computers, ad banners on mobile devices are not sufficient to give the full range of canvasses that marketers want and need to deliver different kinds of ad messages and to achieve different kinds of campaign goals. Something more is required. Several "mores." That's why we are establishing five different Mobile Rising Stars units – something to suit every occasion.
Next Steps
Identifying the Mobile Rising Stars winners was in many ways just a first step. We now need to work with all the winning companies to transform the winners from ad concepts into actual scalable ad formats that a developer can implement in an app or on a mobile website.
The refinement and next steps for the Mobile Rising Stars ad concepts go hand-in-hand with IAB's continued work on mobile rich-media ad interface definitions (MRAID), the IAB's standardized set of rich media APIs for mobile. We will ensure that all the Rising Stars ad concepts can be implemented using industry standards like HTML5 and MRAID. No proprietary technologies should be needed to support these ad units.
If all goes well – and our Mobile Rising Stars align – I can picture mobile sitting pretty at the "big boys'" table very, very soon.

They say a rising tide lifts all boats, and there hasn't been a bigger tidal wave around here than the return of Sidney Crosby after a three and a half month absence. Not that the Penguins weren't playing well before he returned, they were having won 12 out of their previous 14 games, and it's not like they weren't scoring goals during that time, they were averaging four goals per game over that stretch, but it's just the way they're playing now that makes you wonder where they would be if Sid had been here all season.
During the five games that Sid has been back, the Penguins have increased their goals per game up to five while seeing increased scoring from guys like Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy (Sid's new linemates) making this the most lethal third line the Penguins have fielded since the '91/'92 season, and even seeing contributions from Aaron Asham and Pascal Dupuis.
There does, however, seem to be a couple of boats that have fallen with the rising tide, and one of them is Jordan Staal. Staal was on an absolute tear before Sid returned having compiled 15 points in the previous 12 games, and it wasn't just assists, six of those 15 points were goals. Staal also amassed 40 shots on goal during that time frame or almost three per game. Since Sid's return, Staal has three assists in five games, he has taken only five shots on goal.
Now, if Staal had lost his place on the first power play unit to Crosby, some of this might be understandable, but Jordan was skating with the second PP unit even while Sid was out, and only two of his points during his streak came with the man advantage. Could it be a decrease in playing time now that Sid has returned? Again, the answer is No. Staal is still averaging over 19 minutes per game since Crosby has returned so the question still remains, what has happened to not only Staal but to what had become one of the most deadly second lines in the NHL if you include Staal's linemates, Steve Sullivan and Pascal Dupuis although Dupuis is still averaging a point a game over the last five. Steve Sullivan is another of those boats that seem to have taken on water lately. Sullivan had a seven game point streak and 13 points in 11 games prior to "The Return", but he too only has two assists since.
The time time to look for answers to problems is not when things are going poorly but when they're going well, and the Penguins still have a couple of weeks to figure these things out before the playoffs start. If they can get Staal and Sullivan flying again the way they were before Crosby's return, this Penguin team will fly through the playoffs like the 80's Edmonton Oilers would through an adult beer league.

[Ed. This interview first appeared in GoBlueWolverine magazine.]
Brian Kruger and his partner Buddy Moorehouse of Detroit-based Stunt3 Multimedia are currently on a nationwide tour, screening their wonderful new documentary, Black and Blue. It's the amazing but little known story of Michigan's 1934 football game against Georgia Tech, and the circumstances that led to the benching of Willis Ward, an African American football and track star at U-M. The backdrop of the tale involves Ward's friend and future president Gerald Ford, and it follows how the incident shaped their lives after college.
Brian, the director the film, was kind enough to sit down with me to discuss this project and much more.
MVictors: When did you and Moorehouse first hear about this story, and at what point did you know it was a project worth taking on?
Kruger: We first heard about it when President Bush eulogized Gerald Ford [when Bush discussed the relationship between Ford and Ward]. I called Buddy after seeing that, and Buddy was once the sports editor for The Michigan Daily. I said, 'Buddy, have you ever heard about that?', and he said, 'Not really.' So the first thing we did was spend time looking around to see if anybody had done a movie on it. At that time we were thinking about creating a film company and I was looking to change careers. We looked around and found it was mentioned in a couple of books but nobody had done anything further with it. We became more and more astounded that very few people knew about this story. So that's why we said, 'We need to do this.'
We were going to make it the first part of a ten part series called, 'The Victors'. The idea was to tell lesser known stories about Michigan football, and this was going to be the second one. The first was going to be the Ron Kramer story but then he passed away and we started on the Willis Ward story.
MVictors: How has the documentary evolved from the initial cut?
Kruger: This is our fifth film, and usually when we make a film we do something called the screener. It's not a rough cut, but it's what we want to show people to see what the reaction is. That film was an hour and eleven minutes and the reaction was overwhelming, people thought it was fantastic. We were excited about that. Many people told us that we should get the film on PBS. We looked into that and were told that if we want to get it on PBS we need to get the film down to 56 minutes and 44 seconds. So we made that cut, and that's the cut that's been showing around the country. There's actually a third cut that's going to be made this summer called the director's cut, and it's because so much information has come to our attention since the release. And the other big thing is that we'd like to get it in consideration for an Academy Award.
MVictors: I understand someone contacted you claiming to actually have the game football from the 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech game?
Kruger: What happened was, we were looking for the game ball. I think we asked you at one point if anyone had the ball, and we figured if anyone knew if that ball was around it would be you [laughs]. That was last year. Anyway, a few weeks ago a woman called me. She said her father was John Regeczi, who played on the teams with Gerald Ford and Willis Ward, those three years. She was very excited about that and she was telling me some stories. After about ten minutes I figured the conversation would wind down, and she said, 'Oh and by the way, we have the game ball.' [laughs] I was like, 'What?'. I asked her to email me photos right away. It's the real thing – it has the score Michigan 9, Georgia Tech 2 and has 1934 on it, and there appear to some signatures on it. It will be interesting to see if Ward's signature is on it either way. I'm looking forward to looking at it closely.
MVictors: So where's the ball today?
Kruger: That's a good question, too. I was assuming the ball was in Ann Arbor at somewhere like Barton Hills or something. I told her I wanted to check it out and she invited me to come see it. So I asked where she lived and she said, 'Southern California'. [laughs] She said it's been in the family for 77 years.
MVictors: I saw the screening at the Alumni Association building in February. One thing that stuck out was the gasp when it was mentioned that Ward once beat Jesse Owens in a race. Do you plan to go further into Owens and his relationship with Ward in upcoming releases?
Kruger: We actually do, and that's what's spurring what I call a complementary piece that we've tentatively titled A Race in Time. It's the untold story of Willis Ward. It was going to be the untold story of Ward and Owens, but there's a lot more with the Ward story. As far as their head-to-head races, they were a big deal. On March 2, 1935 Ward and Owens raced against each other, Ward wins twice, Owens wins once, and Ward set the world record in the 60 yard dash at 6.2 seconds. On March 9th, one week later at the Big Ten Championship, they raced again and Owens won both times, and Owens reset the World record at 6.1 seconds. They met again on March 24 at the Butler relays in Indianapolis and they raced again in the 60 yard dash and Owens won it. That all went down 77 years ago this March.
MVictors: So speaking of memorializing former athletes, I understand you recently addressed the U-M Board of Regents to discuss honoring Ward in some way?
Kruger: Yes, we passed out a copy of the film to the Regents and we told them we're not sure what we can do or what the process is, but we really do need to have a permanent marker, something on campus that recognizes what this man did. We got applause and everything else. Afterwards, we had a far more off-the-cuff discussion, and I told them that we've been screening it around the country and that it's been really well received and we need to do something for Willis Ward. I also told them that I think a copy of this film should be given to every incoming student. We got a really good reaction from a couple of the regents afterwards and in fact Regent White, who was not there, chimed in over the teleconference and told the rest of the group that she'd seen the film and thought it was wonderful, and that something should be done for Ward. At that point a motion was made to do something for Ward and it was seconded. We're just not sure what it is at this point.
MVictors: While it's not in any way theme of the film, you've got George Bush (who eulogizes Ward at the start of the film) and of course of Gerald Ford, and Ward himself who were all Republicans. In this election year, have any viewers or potential donors had an issue with the film because they feel there's a political bent to the story?
Kruger: Not quite like that. I did get one potential donor who said that if that if I would remove the references of George Bush from the film that they would then consider becoming financially involved. That's the first time I ever thought of this film being political. Gerald Ford is kind of frowned upon by conservatives. He was the first Republican to sign onto the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act and all that can be traced back to his relationship with Ward. But I can't take George Bush out of the film. It was not only how I found out about the story, it was how the rest of the country really learned of the story as well–when the sitting president eulogizes a fallen president.
MVictors: How critical were the archives at the Bentley Library in creating this piece?
Kruger: Absolutely invaluable. When doing a documentary, using images like letters and photos from companies like Corbis and Getty can make story a like this cost prohibitive. I mean to the point where it could be another 77 years before it could be told, because documentaries don't make a lot of money. This story doesn't get told unless somebody like the Bentley Library rubber stamps the approval on all of the rights management of all those photos. Ironically a lot of that material comes from the Fielding H. Yost collection that was donated to the Bentley in 1970.
MVictors: Yost is effectively the villain in the story, with albeit a bit of redemption at the end–do you think the film will change how Michigan fans feel about Yost?
Kruger: I don't know. But this is the way I look at it. I'm not at all prepared to demonize the man that revolutionized college football and the man who left the legacy that did. All of us have faults. Yost clearly had his faults too. Unfortunately his are being dug up by a couple guys long after he's dead to tell this story about Willis Ward. I'm not apologetic about that at all, but I'm also not in any mood to say that this guy needs to be tucked away and never talked about again, and knock the stone off of Yost Field House and call it Ward Field House, which I heard someone say that other day. That's insane. It's Fielding H. Yost, the man is iconic. I'd say look at the whole legacy, don't just look at 1934.

I may not be covered from head to toe in tattoos, but I do love them. Every time I travel, I find myself yearning for a permanent souvenir from the local tattoo parlour.
Unfortunately, most of the places that I have traveled to always seem to pose some sort of dilemma, preventing me from getting that tattoo. Whether it be drastically over priced services or a questionable environment that seems severely un-sterilized, there's always something to keep an eye out for while dealing with ink on the road.
The first time that I ever got a tattoo while traveling was during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. I had just crossed the country, from Toronto to Vancouver by train, and was looking for something to remember the occasion; a permanent souvenir.
My friend, Kathleen, and I dropped off our bags at the hostel, and proceeded to wander the busy streets of Vancouver, in search of the perfect tattoo parlour.
We settled on different shops. First, I got mine done at Sacred Heart Tattoo. The first place we stopped at said that my wrists were too tiny to apply my design, so I just wanted to check with one more shop. We walked in to Sacred Heart, and there was a female artist working, with equally small wrists. She said that it would be no problem, and booked me in.
I ended up with this lovely world map on my wrist, that I am still in love with to this day. (the hearts are drawn on for this photo!)
Next, Kathleen booked herself in at Adrenaline, just around the corner. We felt entirely comfortable with the surroundings in both shops, because everything was clean and sterilized. Vancouver is probably one of the world's cleanest cities, so we were at ease.
Kathleen ended up getting the design of a fish that we saw on one of the Native art decorations in the street; she had personal reasons for getting a fish, but also just loved the idea of it being a souvenir from our trip.
I spent a lot of time exploring the back alleys of Taksim in Istanbul, searching for a suitable shop. I was given plenty of warnings before hand, about the conditions of the parlours, but wanted to take a look for myself.
Each shop was worse than the last, and I never ended up being able to find one that looked clean enough to my liking. Most of them were simply small booths in the corner of small indoor malls, with no sink or walls.
Suffice it to say, I never ended up getting a tattoo in Turkey, though I would have loved to get one if I could have found a clean shop.
Each time that I was in Trinidad and Tobago, I asked around about tattoos. I saw a few random wooden signs pointing to small shacks that were "tattoo parlours" that I didn't even want to venture in to.
On top of the iffy appearance, I was told that tattooing was quite expensive in Trinidad. Looks like I would have no luck here either.
Finally, I booked a trip to Iceland. Knowing that Iceland is a country that prides itself on being clean, I knew that I would be able to find a sterile environment with no problem. I would be getting a tattoo in Reykjavik, and that's all there was to it.
Or, so I thought. When we arrived in Iceland, we learned that it was going to cost about $400 for a very small and simple piece of work. Seeing that I had just spent $200 on a Lopapeysa and another big chunk on souvenirs, I wasn't in the position to spend that much on a tattoo that would likely cost around $100 at home.
One of these days, I will go back to Iceland, and I WILL get a tattoo!
This past summer, I made a quick trip to Niagara Falls, here in Canada. Going to Niagara Falls is not exactly an exotic destination for me, as I grew up rather close to it, but I still think of it as traveling.
Knowing that Gina (of Live For Travel) and I would be meeting for the first time and exploring the city, we decided that we wanted to get tattoos!
We both have a love for tattoos, and had each saved up a bit of extra spending money. So, thanks to the suggestion of Lacey, we booked appointments at Dawg Pound Tattoos and excitedly awaited the day.
We arrived at Dawg Pound and were very happy with the environment. Everything was clean and sterile.
There are a number of things that you want to look for in a good tattoo parlour and I asked artist Jason "Jay" Hesse what my top standards should be, at home and abroad.
should have a barrier over it or on it.
Needles should be opened and disposed of in front of the customer
(seriously–ask for this!)
3. Tubes and grips should also be properly sterilized,
opened in front of the customer,
and properly disposed of following the tattoo.
4. A record of spore tests results are always a definite plus,
but vary due to numerous health board regulations
in different provinces, states or countries.
These are four things that I will always keep in mind during the rest of my travels. I certainly plan to continue looking for good places to get tattooed abroad, and eventually get a nice collection going. Has any one started a travel blog about tattoos around the world yet? :p
We got a chance to talk with Jay about other customers during our appointments. He told us that they get a lot of customers from other areas, and some from around the world.
Niagara Falls is a big tourist destination, so chances are probably higher for them to draw in international customers. I think that it's great luck for those customers, because Jay and his other artists are really amazing at what they do!
Gina ended up getting an awesome compass on her forearm, after they came up with a design together in the shop. Gina told Jay what she wanted and made it personalized. It turned out perfect.
I ended up getting the GPS coordinates (I know this is a cliché tattoo for many people, but I am a geography major specializing in GIS, and I am just plain obsessed with maps and all things travel, if you hadn't noticed) of the place that I grew up and the first place that I ever traveled to (Italy).
I only ever managed to get a photo on my iPhone.
In the end, Dawg Pound Tattoos was the perfect definition of what to look for in a tattoo parlour while traveling. I will continue my quest in tattoos around the world, and I will always reflect on my experience in Niagara.
I'd love to hear about your traveling tattoo experiences too, especially the not-so-good ones! :p

Fall harvests are drawing to a close in Kansas, and while truckloads of corn and soybeans taken to area elevators are in good condition, agricultural experts said, prices are dishearteningly low.
"They've been pretty poor," Douglas County agricultural extension agent Bill Wood said. "I don't think anybody is smiling at the prices yet."
The price of soybeans was around $5.20 per bushel, area elevator operators said Thursday. Corn prices were even lower, around $1.56 per bushel.
"It's too bad soybeans can't be $6.50 or $7 (per bushel); that's what farmers really need," said Calvin Pearson, assistant manager at the Ottawa Co-op elevator in Lawrence.
Most of the corn and soybean crops have been harvested, Wood and other extension agents said.
"If we could keep it from raining for another week we could probably get all our corn out and most of the soybeans as well," Wood said. "Most of our soils are in pretty good shape so we really don't need rain."
In the east-central region of the state, which includes Douglas County, average soybean quantities have been averaging 32 bushels per acre, said Eldon Thiessen, director of the Kansas Agricultural Statistics office.
In Douglas County soybean and corn fields have had spotty and varied results, Wood said.
"One guy had a yield monitor on his combine and it went from 18 bushels (of corn) to 180 in the same field, depending on where he was," Wood said. "That's quite a range."
Despite heavy rains earlier this month in Jefferson County, soybean quantities were above average, extension agent Dave Hallauer said. The crop has averaged 40 to 50 bushels per acre, he said.
In early October, parts of Jefferson County received up to a foot of rain and there was massive flooding. Some farm equipment was flooded and had to be dried out and repaired, Hallauer said.
"A lot of those areas that had water over the top and debris on the field, guys are kind of waiting to get to those areas," he said. "I think they are trying to get the good crops out first."
In Franklin County soybeans were averaging 30 to 40 bushels per acre, Ottawa Co-op grain manager Matthew Vajnar said.
As of Oct. 12, northeast Kansas had the highest soybean averages at 43 bushels per acre while north-central and south-central areas of Kansas were averaging 39, Thiessen said.
Last year was Kansas' best-ever soybean harvest, with the state average at 41 bushels per acre and 111.11 million bushels harvested, Thiessen said. On Oct. 1, 100.8 million bushels of soybeans had been harvested, but Thiessen said he didn't expect this year's total to match last year's because of the effects of heavy rain and frosts earlier in the spring.

Watching And Wanking - In The Hiding....When I was younger and lived together with a girlfriend, on a Sunday afternoon she took a bath.
I dont know why, but just wanted to spy on her. So I just hid behind the door and looked into the huge bathroom mirror, which again mirrored the major part of the bathtub.
Nothing special happened and just before I wanted to leave, she stood up, soaped her **** and...started rubbing methodically and sat down again with spread legs.
Luckily, the foam was gone so I could watch every details: with one hand she pulled on her labia, while the other worked on her ****. I got rock-hard and started wanking myself, close to ******* within a minute or so....Then she rubbed more furiously, and the other hand went to her ***, putting two fingers in her sphinter, and then more and more, until it was in to the knuckles. She moaned then, a little, a ****** her ******* and rubbed her ****, her ****. I would have given something to lick now, or have her squirt in my mouth....and then I came, very intensely.
Briefly afterwards, she also came, and splashed a lot of water, due to her body moving.

Well well, who's wondering where I've been? Me, mostly. The past two weeks turned into a whirlwind of weddings, packing and exploring. I actually can't believe so much can happen in such a short amount of time, especially after the slow pace life of summer. But, life is best when it's jam-packed so I'm excited to see what's to come.
I'm going to write a proper life update in a bit, but basically I'm living in Sydney now – I know, wasn't I meant to be living in London? – and I've been busy moving into my new house. Of course, I'll be back and forward between NZ which is the beauty of living so close. Who could pass up the better weather and beaches? Not me.
- Walked to Bondi yesterday from my house, which is pretty close by the way, and it was glorious. Honestly, just being able to walk to a beach that's actually warm is such a luxury.
- Before I left Auckland I had a send off dinner with my fave gal JJ at White & Wong's and it was amazing. If you're looking for a little asian fusion for a date night this place is ideal. I recommend the Salt & pepper squid, spicy tomato coriander salad or the Gua bao, chicken karaage, pickled cucumber, wasabi mayo – heeeeaven.
- Natural Things NZ is an awesome website and easy on the eyes, that stocks all natural products. I've really been getting into changing out my skin care products for natural ones since I use them everyday, and the Eco Tan Invisible Tan I swear by. It doesn't smell like fake tan AT ALL, and is super smooth to apply. Also, the Coconut Body Milk moisturizer is the best moisturizer I've ever used, which is saying something since I have incredibly dry legs.
- UBEREATS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE? if you haven't already signed up, use this code to get $10 your first order: eats-kendraj194ue
- I've been loving the Spotify "Your Daily Mix" which selects music based on what you've been listening to. Such a good way to find new music but listen to some long time loves.
- Being based in Sydney is just, sooo good. It has the perfect mix of city and beach and opportunity. I've really learnt that unless there's a buzz around me to 'grind' I end up becoming lazy.
- Just bought this duvet cover and pillow cases for 30% off from Urban Outfitters and I LOVE. I'm trying my best to make my room feel more homely than any other place I've lived in since I plan on staying put a while, so an investment bed cover seemed like a good place to start.
- I've been very slack with the social medias as of late. It's hard to find the balance when you don't plan ahead so it's my mission to get this sorted asap.
- I don't know where to buy cool interiors from online – help!?

Commercial and Residential Locksmith Brisbane 24 Hours
When you need a locksmith you can trust call 24 Hour Locksmith Brisbane. We only send qualified tradesman locksmiths who are highly trained in all aspects of locksmithing and security. Our locksmiths are also qualified and licensed security consultants and can advise you on your security needs. Whether it is an emergency or lock maintenance we have a local Brisbane locksmith who can fulfill your needs fast and professionally.
Locked out of your home or office?
If you have locked the keys inside your house, car or office then you will know that it never happens at an appropriate time. It usually happens when we are busy doing other things such as moving house or getting the kids out the door to school.
Luckily we offer a 24 hour emergency locksmith Brisbane service to help out in emergency situations. Our Brisbane locksmiths are very well trained and able to open locks without doing damage to your door or lock. The majority of locks we can open in a very short period of time. If you have a high security lock, they can take a bit longer, but there are very few locks we cannot pick open. We can open almost any locked door without causing damage to the lock or door. Other locksmith standard practice is to drill out your locks to unlock a door. Call a trade qualified locksmith with true lock picking skills.
We treat lock-out situations as very urgent and will prioritize your job above less urgent work. A normal response time for us to get to you in a locked out situation is 20 minutes, depending on how many people we have locked out at that time. (Yes, we do often get multiple people locking themselves out at the same time.)
Changing Locks
If your keys have been lost or stolen or if you have moved into a new house, or shop it is a good idea to get the locks changed by 24 Hour Locksmith Brisbane. Changing locks ensures all the keys that previously worked, will no longer open the door. There are often situations where you need to lock somebody out. Changing the locks will ensure their key will no longer work in the lock and they will not be able to reenter the property.
Often when changing locks it is only necessary to repin the existing locks in order to stop old keys from working. When the lock has been repined, only the new key will work. Repinning is a lot like changing the combination of the lock to suit a new key.
Our locksmiths carry a range of replacement locks and lock cylinders as well. New locks and cylinders are used when the old lock has been broken or is worn out. Some replacement cylinders are used when it is more cost effective to replace the cylinder then it is to repin the lock.
All Locks to work with the one key
There are few things worse than having a large number of keys on a key ring and having to try each one to open each door in a house. It is so much simpler to have just one key to open all the locks in your home or business.
If all your locks are of the same brand it is usually quite simple to alter the lock barrels to make them all work with the one key. If there are different brands of locks it is still usually not too complicated to change them to the one key. We stock a range of replacement lock barrels and cylinders that are specifically designed to accept a type of key that can be used throughout a home.
The types of locks in a home we can change to the one key include deadlocks, knob sets, lever handle locks, security doors, garage doors, padlocks, sliding doors and many more. 24 Hour Locksmith Brisbane is always available to help with your lock and key requirements.
High Security locks
Most people do not want their locks to be easily picked open. High security locks offer protection from picking, lock bumping and key duplication. Lock bumping is a well known technique that can open many common locks with very little knowledge or skill. Lock picking can require more skill. There are many sites on the internet and even lock picking groups in Brisbane training people to pick locks. Lock picking most regular locks in Brisbane can be learned quite quickly.
Installing a high security lock to your business or home door can upgrade your security and give peace of mind that you will be safe from many types of break and enter techniques. The risk with most off the shelf locks and even locksmith installed locks can be great. It may only be luck that your doors have not been compromised by easy lock bumping or lock picking.
Our Brisbane locksmith can help you decide what level of security locks and restricted key system is right for you. Our restricted key systems go well beyond the standard security level of other locksmith installed systems. Contact us before you decide on a high security lock and key system for your door. It may save you more then you think!

My design goal for this extruder was an extremely reliable, no compromise, extruder for the Makerbot, that builds on all the most successful ideas currently available in thermoplastic extrusion. At the same time I wanted an extruder that could easily be printed on a Makerbot build plate with a as large a raft as possible to allow those who do not have a heated build plate to print it easily.
Brutstruder is a hybrid of many successful current extruders. It get\'s its idler wheel from the Wades Extruder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794, and the drive gear from the Mk5 Plastruder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3290">. It also get's a viewport from the Printruder II - Rear Breech Loading http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3178, it's Electronics board holder from the Prinstruder II http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1980, and it's legs are 2 of the DINO2 from Zaggo's Printable extruder holder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1912.
This design has been endurance tested in multiple ways.
I made the extruder lift 27 lb of water (this was before adding a 4th spring, and going to harder spring, no telling what it would lift now).
I fed it 3d Ink Plastic only throughout testing.
I have printed 36 hours straight with this extruder at this time with 0 failures.
I also fed it 1/8 inch ABS welding rods from the local welding shop.
Now you see why I call it Brut.
Detailed instructions for Brustruter will be over at the Reprap Wiki. http://reprap.org/wiki/Brutstruder
First print the Idler, and the Makerbot block, attach your motor with the Mk5 drive gear on it (the gear will be tight, and the grub screw will eat out a track for itself as it spins. Spin it 2-3 times to grind a track before assembly). Once the drive gear is attached use 2 25mm m3 screws to attach the Kysan gearmotor to the block. Place your 606 bearing firmly in the hole provided.
To attach the idler, you will use 4 50mm m4 screws (the same as a Wades Extruder), the order of assembly is bolt, 1 washer, idler RP, 1 washer, 1 15mm spring (the harder the better), and a 3rd washer. Thread the m4 bolt into the block and secure them to the m4 nut on the other side.
Just screw the hot end into the block and secure it to the 2 captive m3 nuts.
The mounting legs for this extruder are Zaggo\\\\'s http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1912, but just print 2 sets of his Dino 2 legs.

Thanks a lot for this great design.
I swapped my MK4 for your brutsruder and I love it!!
tried to run more of the 3dink "plastic" through the brutstruder after printing with makerbot plastic and it failed within 15 seconds of putting down a raft (it hit a spot in the plastic and the mk5 gear started spinning, plastic stopped getting extruded). i was able to print a huge flawless keypad case with the brutstruder and makerbot plastic. easily a 2.5+hour print and 90x90+ size. I will try another roll of it (i got 3 total) i really wish i knew the trick to get this junk to work. i can literally print for 30 hours straight with makerbot plastic with no issues with the brutstruder or printruder2... i cant figure out what is wrong.
How hard are your springs, for 3d ink I have to have it really tight.
Also what diameter thermal barrier you using? Makergear stuff usually can take 3d ink stuff like a charm..
i am using the makergear solid peek with a .35 big head and heatcore element. the springs i have are 1/2" tall and so stiff that i can only compress them completely using both hands (if i try to compress a spring with my finger and thumb i cant get the coils to touch)
it works SO well with other plastics i am not sure what to do. i cranked the springs down really hard (almost all the way) and still got the same problem, extrusion fails immediately) is it possible to have it too tight you think? when i back the filament out its not flattened out too much the
teeth marks in from the mk5 gear are nice and crisp.
wow, you got some really nasty stuff them can't see an issue with what your are doing.
Congratuations, 3d ink finally killed 1 Brustruder. :)
That's just crazy, I have extruded 1/8 inch with mine before :)
finally got it to work. i switched to a new 5lb chunk and took out the springs then CRANKED the screws down
So far, liking it a LOT!
I'm printing in PLA (mostly successful, but with a few dropped patches) and I'm trying to sort out whether I have an under-performing power supply, some sort of freaky voodoo emf noise, or over-tightened springs. Are there any clear clues to indicate, "um, yeah, those springs are cranked waaay to
o tight..."
What springs are you using? I'm about to order some stuff of off McMaster so I might as well add the springs to my order and upgrade my extruder. I don't want to use springs that won't work well so if I could get some pressure range that would be good for the extruder.
Same as a Wades, you will need 4 of them
I got my springs. They seem really strong. Maybe a little too strong. I haven't installed the motor yet so I'll see how it looks, but all 4 might be too many.
Honestly you only need it to float less than .5mm, so really hard springs are better, people have got this type of desgin to work without any spring whatsoever. Try it, it will likely work.
i used 1/2" x 1/4" springs with .38 wire width they are really strong and were available at my local hardware store. came in a pack of 6 seem to work quite well.
My idler wheel cracked and I managed to patch it up just enough to print out the Brutstruder and mounts. It's working excellently. I don't have springs however, just tightened the M4 screws against a 2mm metal rod.
Wow, it works without the springs? I would not have thought that, bet it makes it easier to load filiment also...
Yup. Works without springs.
It slips occassionally during the first layer where the nozzle is only raised to 1/2 layer height, but after tightening the screws a touch, it seems to be working brilliantly.
Not sure what over tightening will do to this. Only time will tell.
Actually I can tell you that one, I used WAY too large of springs in the design phase, it spilled more plastic out the cleaning hole (and on the side of the bearing), and it nearly cut the plastic in half. But by god it didn't slip :)
Other neat thing I have found is if your filament spool get's stuck and it causes a failure, if you unjam the spool the extruder will pick up where it left off, literally running over the failure strip like a 4x4 truck.
God I love Wade's style extruders.
Has anyone tried PLA with this extruder yet? I'd be worried that it would pinch it in half!
Rick (Makergear) has done a lot of testing with PLA and found no issues.
Does this mount directly to the Mendel? Or do we need an adapter, if so, is there one on thingiverse?
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4064http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... Mount
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4042http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... Use this version, it's smaller and made for RepRap
Have fun, let me know if you have any issues!
Printed one and cleaned it up (took a bit of work) and then realized my X axis was inverted, and the part is backward. Printing a new one now. I wonder if I could use the stock makerbot idler wheel bolt....
Absolutley, that was by design.
You can reuse what you have. The only new thing you need 2_m3 35mm. The rest are parts took from your Plastruder Mk4.
The Brutstruder is awesome, mine printed without issues, and I hope to have it installed by the week's end. Yeah!
One clarification request: on the linked reprap wiki page, and in the above comment, you mention that you need 2x35mm M3 screws, while elsewhere on this page you specify 2x25mm screws.
At least for my makerbot configuration, it appears that 25mm is the correct length... but I went with 35mm and w
ound up with some too-long screws. I think I remember reading that too-long screws can damage a Kysan gearmotor, so could you verify this?
Thanks, and thanks for an excellent extruder design!
... responding to myself... it seems like the 35mm screws were perfect for going through the printed dinos, and 25mm were perfect for the motors. So, it was just my own confusion about which screw went where.
Congrats on finally posting this mate!
It really is compact... further miniaturisation may not be possible! It's time the community gets working on a shorter hot end lol!
Any ideas on reducing the vitamin count?
Ohh yes, something fun is on it's way http://www.makergear.com/blogs/frontpage/1906622-hey-there-mk5http://www.makergear.com/blogs... We are going to need new legs :)
Ohh I could take the chafer to this design and get rid of 1cc worth of plastic, but I think your right, we are approaching the limit of the material, which is a good thing.
Vitimin count?:
2 m3_25mm
2 m3_50mm
2 m3 washers
4 m4_45
4 m4 nuts
4 10-15 (depending on how hard, harder the better) spr
mk5 worm gear or the brass knockoff off ebay
Hot end of choice
I think this is the lowest vitimen count of any extruder also.
I'm not saying that's not a good vitamin count... it's just my goal is eventually 0 vitamins outside of electronic components...
Very cool. It looks like it would work great for plastic that varies in diameter a little bit like the stuff from 3D ink. I think that I'll try it out while I'm saving up for the $120+ for the steppers from kysan and other parts for Wade's extruder for makerbot.
This was pretty much designed for people who want to run Makerbot firmware on RepRap, or people who are having troubles with their mk4.
Nice work, I like it. These DC gearmotors are still open loop though, right? Do you find you need to re-calibrate them over time, or is it still the case where if you run it at full power the speed is fairly constant?
Never had to recalibrate, and never heard of anyone doing that at all. Most people run it full out at 255, becasue at any lower speed it becomes problematic.

This is disgusting. So let me try to understand. Commercial developers across Union County can't get projects off the ground, due to a lack of sewer. Now The Woods, a residential community, will get its water and sewer request approved because the owner will give right of way for a road project. So basically what we have here is a pay-to-play system. Nice to know. This would be the clear and transparent government we were promised, right?

Modern and contemporary works from Istanbul are exhibited in Zurich as Turkish art continues its high visibility in Europe.
"Hot Spot Istanbul", taking place from 6 June to 23 September 2013 at the Museum Haus Konstructiv in Zurich, is the first comprehensive exhibition of Turkish abstract, concrete and conceptual art in Switzerland. This is the second European outing for Turkish art in 2013, as Istanbul art gains international attention.
Turkish artists have been gaining visibility in Europe, not only with the Swiss "Hot Spot Istanbul" exhibition, but with MAK Vienna's "Signs Taken in Wonder" and with a protest at the 2013 vernissage of the Venice Biennale. Artist Ali Kazma and Curator Emre Baykal from the Turkish Pavilion, along with SALT Curator Duygu Demir, Istanbul Biennial Curator Fulya Erdemci and Witte de With Director Defne Ayas showed solidarity for the Gezi Park protests through their Biennale action, according to Hyperallergic.
Haus Konstructiv continues the trend for spotlighting Turkish art with "Hot Spot Istanbul", the "first comprehensive exhibition of Turkish abstract, concrete, conceptual and contemporary art in Switzerland," according to the Museum's press release. The exhibition includes more than eighty works by 21 artists, beginning with Turkish abstract painting from the late forties to today's contemporary art.
"Hot Spot Istanbul" is curated by Dorothea Strauss, the director of Haus Konstructiv. The focus of the exhibition is how the 1940s era Turkish abstract concrete painters deeply impacted young Turkish artists both at home and abroad during the following decades.
"Hot Spot Istanbul" includes the work of the following Turkish artists.
Four historically significant artists, pioneers of post-1945 Turkish art
Abstract, concrete and contemporary artists
- Can Altay
- Adnan Çoker
- Burhan Doğançay
- Ahmet Oran
- Abdurrahmen Ötzoprak
- Seckin Pirim
- Canan Tolon
- Seyhun Topuz
- Ebru Uygun
- Ekrem Yalçındağ

The new 175-acre campus has an official name: Apple Park. More than 12,000 employees will start moving into the building in April; Apple estimates the move-in to take more than six months. The long process will eventually be worth it: employees will be surrounded by curved glass and have plenty of space — 2.8 million square feet — to work.
Today is Steve Jobs' 62nd birthday and to honor his memory Apple will be christening the theater at Apple Park as Steve Jobs Theater (photo above). Quite fitting. Steve Jobs Theater is a 1000-seat 165-foot diameter circular auditorium surrounded by curved glass 20 feet tall. Beautiful, but with all that glass, I wonder how earthquake-resistant the buildings are. I hope quite.
Jony Ive:
We have approached the design, engineering and making of our new campus with the same enthusiasm and design principles that characterize our products.
Apple Park was designed in collaboration with Foster + Partners. Here are some tidbits:
- 5 million square feet of asphalt & concrete was replaced with grassy fields and 9000+ drought-resistant native trees. (I am anxious for pollen-based allergy sufferers.)
- Entirely powered by 100% renewable energy; its solar roof generates 17 megawatts of electricity. (I'm guessing there's a bunch of large batteries somewhere, to power the giant building at night.)
- World's largest naturally ventilated building, projected to require no heating or air conditioning for nine months of the year. (Air filtration systems, I'm guessing, are fully operational 24/7.)
I cannot fathom the amount of natural and industrial resources required to have built this architectural marvel, but going forward I am relieved Apple Park will drastically decrease its consumption.
Although park is part of its name, Apple Park is mostly limited to Apple employees and those who visit to conduct business there, but an Apple Store and a cafe will be open to the public. I intend to go sample the coffee there as soon as possible.

Mercure Warszawa Grand Warsaw Reviews

Great Location in Warsaw Aug 31, 2014
I was traveling solo and jammed packed with sightseeing activities during the day so luxury of the hotel did not matter much. This Hotel Mercure Grand, Warsaw is modern but the rooms are little small (at least my room was not sure about others). Hotel location is in the very center of Warsaw with good and cozy restaurants and clubs in the neighborhood Location, a short walk to the US Embassy and consulate. fair price for Warsaw. Only 3 blocks from the Tram station and major street. Taxi and public bus station is around the corner.
Stayed there three nights. Check in was quick. Hotel is nice and clean with great service with friendly and helpful staff, reception area is wide open and well decorated. They have a system with a open shower which is bothersome which looks like right onto the bed and the toilet is around the corner. Basic Internet was very slow but did not try their Premium service. Amenities in the room are typical Accor standard.
I did not try the breakfast buffet at the hotel so can't comment much. but did go around the corner to Monique Bakery and Wine for breakfast which was awesome (Omelets, Egg Salad on a baguette and great coffee) + not so expensive. I made couple of trips to the carefour (Express) which was just down the street to fill up my snack and beer (local) stocks.
Getting back to airport; the taxi in front of the hotel costed me 59 Zt (metered taxi). Airport by Bus # 175 is also available just 4 - 5 mins walk towards the Main street will cost you only 4.50 zt. (I did not try since I had to go to the airport at 4 am in the morning). Based on Service, location and price I would definitely stay there again.

TODAY Rockies at Padres, 8:05 p.m., ROOT, 850 AM
Alex White insists that he's a different pitcher than a year ago. And that's a good thing. While dealing with a right middle finger issue that affected his grip, White couldn't command his sinker or slider in September, allowing 12 home runs in 36-plus innings. White demonstrated improvement in both pitches at Triple-A Colorado Springs but must show he can apply it. The right-hander is being counted on to provide a badly needed boost to the rotation. Opening day starter Jeremy Guthrie (shoulder) is out at least another week, if not longer, and No. 4 starter Jhoulys Chacin landed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation.
Upcoming Pitching Matchups
Today: Rockies' Alex White (season debut) at Padres' Jeff Suppan (1-0, 0.00 ERA), 8:05 p.m., ROOT
Wednesday: Rockies' Christian Friedrich (big-league debut) at Padres' Anthony Bass (1-3, 3.51), 1:35 p.m.
Thursday: Off.
Friday: Rockies' Jamie Moyer (1-2, 4.01) at Dodgers' Chris Capuano (4-0, 2.21), 8:10 p.m., ROOT
Saturday: Rockies' Juan Nicasio (2-1, 5.35) at Dodgers' Aaron Harang (1-2, 5.24), 7:10 p.m., ROOT

Big Ten Says Few Support BCS ChangeApril 29, 2008
Earlier today, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany met with conference commissioners and bowl and television representatives at an Ocean-Front Hotel in Hollywood, Fla.
Once again, he stated that the Big Ten/Pac-10 alliance is not the only thing preventing change in our twisted BCS system.
Delany told reporters, "The perception that the Big Ten and Pac-10 are holding this back is not right, ask others here how strongly they feel for a call for change. I don't see it.
"I think there are a lot of other people who like where they are, but they should say it. There are others in the room who like where we're at."
SEC commissioner Mike Slive will present a proposal for a plus-one format tomorrow, calling for the current BCS system to change and incorporate two semifinal games in advance of a national championship game.
Of course, the changes can't take place until after the 2009 season when the current BCS contracts with bowl games and TV networks expires.
The Big Ten and Pac-10 have separate contracts with the Rose Bowl, which has a tradition of pairing the two league's champions in a New Year's Day bowl game.
The Rose Bowl's contract with ABC does not expire until after the 2013 season.
The BCS system has been highly controversial since its inception.
In 2005, Auburn finished 13-0 during the regular season, but was left out of the BCS title game. USC beat Oklahoma 55-19 in the FedEx Orange Bowl to win the 2005 BCS title.
Two years later, a deserving Michigan squad was left out of the hunt as Florida played Ohio State for the national title. The Gators slaughtered the Buckeyes, 41-14.
"The BCS has had controversy, but it's done some things well," Delany said to reporters. "I think everybody would have to concede it has done some things well. Even when the coaches and sportswriters were determining the national champion, there was controversy."
Delany said college football's rising popularity is proof the current BCS format works.

In July, 1848, at the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY, it was first proposed that women have the right to vote. Neither of the event founders, Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Lucretia Mott was still alive in 1920, when women finally gained the right to vote through the certification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Every president has published a proclamation for Women's Equality Day since 1971 when legislation was first introduced in Congress by Bella Abzug. This resolution was passed designating August 26 of each year as Women's Equality Day.
As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of voting on August 26, it is apparent women still have a long way to go in our country. Women account for less than 20% of Congress, yet 51% of the population. They are CEO of a fraction of Fortune 500 companies, yet more than 50% of the workforce is female. Almost 50 years after the Equal Pay Act was enacted, American women still only earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn.
However, today is a day women should celebrate. And the upcoming elections are days when women should not only be seen, but heard!
For fun, take the Women Equality Day Quiz.

This statement is. i'm sorry, pure sensationalism. Could you provide real world examples, where it is shown the person was killed for what they said.
To connect it with posting on ATS is, to me, absurd. The OP implies that posting on ATS could, under certain circumstances, get one killed. I'm sorry, but that is far fetched.
although the timing of his death has been labeled suspicious; Kuklinski was scheduled to testify that former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy Gravano had ordered him to murder New York Police Department Detective Peter Calabro.
the compressed air (or gas) fired cane gun...snip... Poisoned pellets and darts have been fired from similar weapons by communist intelligence agents (for example, the Bulgarian "umbrella gun" used in several prominent assassinations). A related weapon is the tubular "gas gun" which uses an electrically fired charge to expel a small cloud of prussic acid directly into a target's face, resulting in death from cyanide poisoning. Blowguns have also been incorporated into canes.
Predators, with high-precision zoom lens cameras, and video cameras with both electric optic and infrared capability that can see at night, can lock on a target for their two Hellfire missiles when they are so far away that the target can neither see them (unless the drone is below 15,000 feet (4,600 m)) nor hear them.[7] Predators ...snip...can fly at speeds up to 135 mph (217 km/h) and at heights up to 25,000 feet (7,600 m). They can fly 400 nautical miles (740 km) to a target, loiter overhead for 14 hours, and then return to their base.[180] Reapers...snip...can fly at speeds up to 300 mph (480 km/h), and at heights up to 50,000 feet (15,000 m), and can fly for 14–28 hours (14 hours fully loaded).[181][182] "Nano-drones" are now being developed for targeted killing, that are about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) long, which like little killer bees will be able to follow their target, even entering a room through an open window.[4] Aerial refueling tanker drones are also being developed that will allow these drones to refuel, without ever landing.[4]
The best piece of advice I can give to those reading or posting on ATS is this: BE A SKEPTIC...snip...
We should always question any information given us. As the OP'er implies, the ATS is a great place to learn. It's not an end but rather a jumping off point. People should post their ideas and experiences here. Sharing is important.

Yesterday my bill from Cingular arrived. Two months earlier I had added my daughters phone to our family plan. For the first month a new phone gets free, unlimited text messaging which allows you to figure out which messaging plan to sign up for. Let me tell you that teenage girls text a lot!
After the first month I got on Cingular's web site, logged into my account, and changed her texting plan to allow MANY text messages, 3000. Turns out that's just enough. But, when the phone bill arrived yesterday it showed that I didn't change the plan so the text portion of my daughter's phone bill was $170. If you're wondering, that represents 2700 text messages in one month (busy fingers).
I called Cingular, 611 on my cell phone. I explained to the customer service rep how I got on the web site and made a change to my plan to accommodate my new rapid texter. She checked the records and found out that I made a change to the account but that I ended up with the same plan. To me that means "no change" but they have record that I did something that day. She said she would refund half of the $170, not because she had to but to show good faith. "I don't have to do this sir". She didn't believe that I made the change. By-the-way, if you didn't already know, Cingular has a website that frequently has problems. Well, at least that's been my experience over the past 1 1/2 years.
While having this discussion with the customer service rep my Cingular call just dropped. It makes a sound when that happens, "da-da-da-da-daaa".
I called right back, got a different rep, and told my story again. She listened. She checked and found out that I had the same plan before and after the "change". Then she said "I'm making changes to your account sir, I'm post dating your text package to the date you tried to make this change". Then she took care of the overage and other assorted things she needed to do to get it to all work out so that my bill would be correct.
Cingular is an immense company. I won't argue that Cingular is a good wireless provider or not. Mostly it's worked well for me but a bad experience with them and I would be pushed to change providers, it's hard to have a lot of loyalty to a mega-company. It's hard unless they deal with you correctly in all circumstances The experience with the first rep wasn't good, it was exactly what I had feared would happen. That coupled with the extra $170 and other fruity action from their web site and I had plenty of reason to leave Cingular's service. Had this story ended there I'd be with another wireless company right now. But, one customer service rep made all the difference for me. She made it all right, over the top of the first one and other bad experiences I've had with the company. A huge company and one person in it makes the difference. A remarkable person.
I don't talk about my cell phone company unless something gives me reason to, whether it's good or bad. It's good this time and I'm telling others. I'm using a megaphone (this blog) to do it. If Cingular were my company... I'd be rich! No, no, no. If Cingular were my company... I'd find out who my happy customers are and give them a megaphone to tell their friends about how great a company I have.
If you have a company you should do the same with your happy customers. Find out who they are and give them a megaphone to tell their friends about what a great product or service you have. You can do it and you should do it. If you need help with the finding and the megaphone you can get it here.
