Wrapped in ice, pizza in his mouth, Huston Street soothed a few stomachs when discussing Thursday's MRI. There's no structural damage in his right biceps. He has tendinitis.
That's the good news. The bad news is that he won't even pick up a baseball until Sunday, leaving him unavailable to pitch until the middle of next week at the earliest.
"It's not like we have four months left. We are being extremely aggressive, which is reassuring to me," the Rockies' closer said. "It's really going to be a day-to-day thing once I start throwing again."
Franklin Morales, who posted his first save Wednesday, will replace him. The left-hander has been on a wild ride this season, beginning in the rotation, shifting to the bullpen and now, with everything at stake, he's closing.
"It's the same game, just a different situation," said Morales, who would like to be a starter again someday. "I like it. I look forward to this."
Manager Jim Tracy chose Morales over Rafael Betancourt for two reasons. Betancourt, while a solid setup man, has struggled as a closer in brief trials during his career. Morales, meanwhile, is throwing faster than ever and with improved command.
"I don't care what side it's from, 97 (mph) is hard to hit," Tracy said. "You can see the potential evolution of this guy (into this role)."
Barmes blasts another. The Rockies have never had a second baseman play better defense than Clint Barmes. Or hit more home runs. He added his 22nd on Thursday. But he's become boom or bust offensively. Since his average topped out at .296 on June 18, Barmes has hit .192 (48-for-250) with 56 strikeouts. His home run was originally called a double before the umpires correctly changed it.
Footnotes. Center fielder Dexter Fowler, out with a bruised right knee, could be activated as soon as Tuesday if a Triple-A rehab assignment goes well. He's scheduled to play seven innings Saturday, DH on Sunday, then play nine innings Monday before returning to Denver for re-evaluation. "It doesn't hurt — that's what I needed to see," Fowler said. . . . Reliever Alan Embree threw his first full-throttle bullpen session since breaking his right leg in July. He called it a positive first step in his bid to return this season. . . . Chris Iannetta, who has been unable to shake a season-long slump, homered in the seventh inning, his first RBI since Aug. 14.

Dogs is a man's bestfriend do u have one? what breed? How long have been in your side? what u love most about ur dog?
Yes I have 2 a beagle and a german shepherd. I enjoy playing with them and the companionship they provide.
I have a 7 year old German Shep./mutt mix. She is the light of my life and an excellent companion. She has epilepsy and is on two kinds of tablets and I can only hold out hope she will be around for a long time. I love her.
Yeah. Hes a German Shepard and I've had him for about a year now.
No I had a big beautiful, black and tan West German German Shephard named Kaiser, and an East German female named B, and without getting into any Britte, and to make a long story short, I called my wife from Avon Mass. one night, and she gave Britte away, and gave Kaiser away to the Little Rock Sheriff's department so he could use his tracking title to sniff out drugs, and help find missing people. I had both dogs for about 3 yrs, and it broke my heart, and found out 4 yrs ago that Kaiser had been killed in the line of duty. I was so proud of him, yet even more disgusted with my ex wife. Kaiser was my dog, and and when I would cut the grass, he would pick lawn mower up by wheel with his teeth and jerk it every which way. He hated the lawn mower, but was so loving and good natured around the children in the neighborhood, and was a great protector of my ex and 3 girls. I still to this day miss my best friend.
Yes, I've had dogs all my life. Shepard, Rodisian Ridgbacks, doberman Great danes, mongrels. Each dog has their own personality. It's a wonderful thing to have love shared with a dog, they are one of the best loving friends a person can have. faithful always good humored, always looking up to you for everything they need. Your their provider and owner. <br />
I have always felt that any person who loves dogs, has a good heart and gentle spirit, kind, considerate, and caring. Good luck with your pet.
my roommates have a dog. he's not mine but he's my little buddy. we've known each other about a year and a half.

When the Bureau of Prisons first started Federal Prison Industries (aka UNICOR) it was intended to provide skills for inmates so that upon release they would have a skill that would allow them to become a functioning part of society. It also kept them busy instead of planning escapes, assaulting guards or assaulting each other. UNICOR employees inmates involved in producing a wide range of products from the the manufacturing of government uniforms, to making furniture, to recycling. Started in June 1934, it seemed like a great idea when the number of federal inmates numbered below 15,000, but it is a different case with an inmate population today of over 215,000.
Congressmen and Senators are being asked to step in to stop awarding government contracts to UNICOR that would otherwise go to small businesses in similar industries. In Kentucky, a small clothing company was at risk of losing its contract with the Air Force but thanks to Senator Mitch McConnell, who intervened on behalf of the company, UNICOR backed off. Jobs saved. Now there are more and more private companies competing against a growing prison industry causing many to question whether giving a job to an inmate is better than providing a job to law abiding, tax paying citizens. It is a difficult question because the benefits of providing a job to a citizen in good standing NOW are so much better, and more tangible, than looking at the long term benefits to society of helping an inmate turn his/her life around to become better citizens in the future. But there is another side to this story worth considering.
It should be noted, that prisoners currently provide a lot of jobs to citizens just by being incarcerated. One just has to look at the joy of the people of Berlin, NH who are hosting job fairs to fill over 300 positions at the new federal prison that recently opened. The prison will have phones for inmates to call home and email accounts to write loved ones .... all services paid to private businesses by inmates. Inmates can by digital music and books, also provided by private companies. Then there is the commissary, stocked full of food, clothes, toiletries and candy, which allow inmates to spend up to $300/month (215,000 inmates x $300 = $64.5 million/month). Then there are hotels and restaurants in the area of the prisons that house and feed families every week that come to visit. Prisons also need maintenance, which is provided by outside contractors to build on to facilities or repair broken facilities (wouldn't want a lot of inmates running around with hammers). Of course, there is also healthcare for inmates who are routinely cared for in community hospitals. There are prison cars, trucks, lawn equipment, chemicals for cleaning, books, etc. All of this means more jobs for the community.
Another economic plus for local communities that house prisons is that the inmates are counted as "citizens" for the purpose of the U.S. Census, which is used to calculate federal funding for roads, schools, infrastructure and, strangely enough, to determine congressional districts. That means more big bucks flowing as a result of having a prison in town.
It is difficult to support an argument for an inmate taking a job from a hard working citizen. However, it is disingenuous not to also see the economic benefit of the huge industry that prisons have become in our country. With a federal prison population forecast of 6,000-8,000 more inmates each year into the foreseeable future, there will be even more jobs to come.

In a perfect would garden harvest would come in easy amounts, just as you would buy the same food at the grocery store; a few tomatoes every couple of days, one zucchini a week, one eggplant, etc. Real life is not so simple and gardens are not so easy. Instead, I've had a surplus of zucchini and yellow squash and little else. In a couple of weeks, my tomatoes should come in and given that I have six eggplants, I'm expecting quite a few from there all at once too. I tried to stagger my planting, but I'm not sure how successful that will be.
So, what does one do when faced with ten pounds of zucchini? Eat it, of course, but only so much at one time. Give it away? Yes, we did that too. My husband even got texts from a coworker asking for more squash. But preserving the harvest is important too. Why buy canned or frozen vegetables when you can make your own?
While we might do some canning this summer, my first order of business was freezing. In fact, we recently bought a medium sized freezer for our garage. I cannot tell you how excited I was about this. Unnaturally so, I'm ashamed to say. Still, this winter when I'm pulling out jars of home made pesto, bags of fresh-frozen garden vegetables, or portions from the half a pig we're going to buy, I won't be so embarrassed.
Last Sunday I spent an hour or so prepping, blanching and shocking about 5 lbs of zucchini. Here's how I did it:
10 Simple Steps to Freezing Zucchini
- Rub the skin of the zucchini with a kitchen towel to remove any loose dirt and the little prickly hairs on the skin.
- Cut off the stem ends and then chop the zucchini any way you think you might use it in the future. I cut it up three ways; large chunks for soups and stews (like the Moroccan garbanzo bean stew), thinner half rounds for stir frys and pastas, and diced for just as a side dish with a little melted butter.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Get a large bowl and fill it with ice and water.
- Put the chopped zucchini in the boiling water in batches, separated by size or cut so that everything cooks at the same rate. Blanch in the boiling water for 1-4 minutes depending on the size.
- Scoop out with a slotted spoon into the ice bath (called shocking the vegetables), until cold.
- Remove from the ice bath onto paper towels to get the excess water off (you don't want to create ice cubes).
- Repeat the blanch and shock process, returning the water to a boil and replenishing the ice in the ice bath as needed.
- Lay the vegetables out on a sheet pan in a single layer so they can freeze as individual pieces. I put mine on a silpat sheet so help prevent them from sticking to the pan, but it's not necessary. If you put them in the bag or container without freezing individually, they will freeze in a solid lump. This way, you can only use what you need when you want it.
- Freeze and when solid, transfer to storage bags or containers for long term storage.
Expense Update: What price the joy of a home grown vegetables?
Ongoing total for Summer 2010: $340*
No new purchases since last post on 6/04/10
To see the start of the accounting process and why I'm doing this, see When Does "Growing Your Own" Become Too Expensive?
*273 is for hay, alfalfa, compost and fertilizer to fill the garden beds and for this year's building supplies, and $67 on plants.
Ongoing 2010 Harvest Total:
Yellow Squash-7.25 lbs
Green Zucchini-8 lbs
Japanese Cucumbers- 11 oz
Tomatoes- 8 oz
Assorted herbs-small amounts of Mint, Oregano, Basil, Cilantro, Tarragon, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme…

These so-called "magic bullets" coming around
periodically, and the danger is these "magic bullets" give people
false hope—hope that this "magic bullet" would save the world
eventually. But, in the meantime, it says, "We can continue living the way
we're currently living."
The trouble with that kind of philosophy is we don't have
time to wait anymore. We've got to get—start moving towards the transition
from the oil society to energy society, another form of energy society. And so,
what we're really saying here is we can begin that transition from the oil
society to an electric—all-electric society based on solar and wind, and
maybe waves and whatever, now. And we need to do—begin that now.

[TMS] BMW Unveils Sport Design Concept Car 'Concept 1 Series tii'
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) of Germany unveiled a design concept car "Concept 1 Series tii" at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show.
Based on the "1 Series coupe," the concept car has a reduced vehicle weight and enhanced aerodynamic performance desinged for motor sports.
To reduce the vehicle weight, the car employs carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the front hood, side mirror cover, part of the front intake port and the rear bumper, as well as the gurney flap of the rear lid. The CFRP parts are finished with a clear matte coating. The coated front food has the effect of reducing the reflection of sunlight into the driver's eye, BMW said.
The front spoiler, side sills, rear bumper and rear lid have been redesigned to optimize the aerodynamic performance. The spoiler has a structure totally different from that of the mass production model.
It is provided with splitters (current plates for dividing air flow) on both sides. The splitter is slightly projecting forward and generates a downward air flow. Part of the air flow thus generated is supplied to the side intakes and the rest is flown under the body.
The car is equipped with two fins on the outer side of the front hood to improve the aerodynamic performance during high speed driving, thereby enhancing the stability. The gurney flap used on the rear lid is larger than that used in the standard model of the 1 Series coupe so that a greater downforce is generated in the rear part to enhance high-speed stability.
The seats were specially developed for sports driving. They are sports bucket seats made from artificial leather called Alcantara, in addition to natural leather. They have integrated headrests and built-in side airbags.
Also, bucket seats are employed for the rear seats. To reduce the glare and reflection of sunlight shone into the car, a wide sunshade band is provided on the upper side of the windshield and the dashboard is also made of black Alcantara.

People with Nystagmus are often fairly slow readers, but they can still read. However they may become tired more easily than most, depending on the size of the writing.
Diagram here
I can read the smallest writing in the box above but it takes me about twice as long to read it than the biggest writing in the box above. Although I am slightly slower than everyone else I manage.
I have to hold a book very close to my eyes when reading as it is more comfortable and makes it easier for me to read. Everyone with Nystagmus has a point where their eyes stop moving. You can discover this point by holding out your index finger at arms length, and gradually move it closer to you while continually concentrating on it. Make sure someone is watching, they can tell you when your eyes stop moving. It is at this point that things become in focus, and this is where I hold a book when reading. I cannot focus when my eyes are moving constantly.

Former road agent's lawsuit withdrawn
- Published in Local News
BARNSTEAD — Former Road Agent Chris Carazzo has withdrawn his suit in Belknap County Superior Court against the town for unlawful termination and the town had agreed not to seek to recoup its legal fees for defending the suit.
Carazzo was fired in September 0f 2013 by selectmen for refusing to co-operate with town officials and provide records of his transaction with two metals recycling companies.
Selectmen had launched an investigation after a complaint was made that he sold the recyclables and kept the money for himself.
Selectmen said he was specifically terminated for refusing to cooperate with them not for misappropriation of town resources.
Carazzo had filed suit against the town however after a lengthy court battle that he agreed in writing on Monday that he would not file any additional complaints against the town regarding his dismissal.
Judge James O'Neill ruled Monday to dismiss the case with prejudice and said no further action is required.

In years past Camp Kay might last a week or even two weeks but now that I'm a big girl things have changed. We didn't have Camp Kay last year. Everybody was too busy being busy. I think the three day abbreviated Camp Kay we just experienced we can hold in our UGA hearts a long, long time. I'm not too sure about how long the memories will last for for Uncle Ben because I overheard him telling Aunt Kay he thinks he might not live more than a couple of more weeks. He called us the Precious "Princesses of Primp" and he said we were doing great at it because we took the obligatory two to three hours to get all that war-paint and Fuji-water splashed on this morning right before we ate two water melons, four pounds of tomatoes, a pound of boiled peanuts and enough grapes to make five gallons of good wine if you stomped on them hard enough (he said). Then we packed our bags in twenty-seven seconds flat and left.
As Uncle Ben later said, "All good things must come to an end. the Bulldog Lovers Club have packed up and are heading back to South Georgia in the sleek white "Escape-mobile" with the "Ego-Boost" tag on it. It was not quite like the old Western movies he said he used to watch where John Wayne got on his trusty steed and moseyed off into the sunset but it had to do. We blazed out of there in a cloud of dust and with one long honk on the horn we were out of sight. I'm pretty sure Uncle Ben hid all the chips and candy we took to Athens with us. I think he has to sneak around and eat chocolate because it isn't good for him. He tells Aunt Kay he has a lot of trouble keeping his 'weight up.'
We had a good time downtown before we left for home. I'm not sure what this rope we are swinging on in the pictures is attached to but we heard on the radio as we were leaving the Athens City Limits that a huge water tower had toppled over near Broad Street and rampaging water had washed away over twenty businesses that are now all stacked up together down on the campus on Lumpkin Street.
Oh well. As was said in the movies a long, long time ago, "Tomorrow is another day!"

So if you want to do the kernel kind of memory ordering where you specify ordering requirements independently of the actual accesses (perhaps because the accesses are in some helper function that doesn't care, but then you want to "finalize" the thing by stating a sequence point), it seems to be impossible with current drafts.Oh, well. Nothing lost. I didn't expect the thing to work. Linus

With stock markets worldwide under selling pressure late this week, due to U.S. and European Union debt worries, U.S. President Obama is set to tell the public at midday Friday how he plans to address the so-called fiscal cliff debt problem. The market place will closely scrutinize the President's remarks.
With this week's dour economic news coming out of the European Union, which suggests the bloc is on the brink of a serious recession, the German finance ministry chimed in on Friday and said that in the coming months Germany's economy could "noticeably" weaken. This week has seen industrial production data coming out of the major EU countries, and all of that data showed significant industrial output contraction in those countries. Meantime, cash-starved Greece remains a major concern for EU officials. There is yet another EU official meeting Monday to address the situation in Greece and other financially troubled EU countries. Amid all of the above, the Euro currency slumped to another fresh two-month low against the U.S. dollar on Friday.
Tensions in the Middle East ratcheted up a notch late this week as the U.S. said Iranian war planes last week fired upon a U.S. drone in international air space. Saudi Arabia also warned Iran Friday that it will no longer tolerate Iranian war planes intruding into Saudi air space.
The U.S. dollar index is trading higher Friday morning and is hovering near a two-month high. The U.S. dollar bulls have gained good upside technical momentum recently. Meantime, Nymex crude oil prices are trading weaker Friday morning. The crude oil bears have the overall near-term technical advantage as a two-month-old downtrend is in place on the daily bar chart. These two key "outside markets" will continue to have a significant daily influence on gold and silver prices.
U.S. economic data due for release Friday includes import and export price indexes, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey, and monthly wholesale trade inventories.
The London A.M. gold fixing is $1,732.75 versus the previous A.M. fixing of $1,717.00.
Technically, gold futures bulls are having a good week. Prices hit a fresh three-week high overnight and are poised to close at a bullish weekly high close on Friday. A four-week-old downtrend on the daily bar chart has been negated late this week and the bulls have regained the near-term technical advantage. The gold bulls' next upside price breakout objective is to produce a close above solid chart resistance at $1,755.00. Bears' next near-term downside price objective is closing prices below solid technical support at last week's low of $1,672.50. First resistance is seen at the overnight high of $1,738.00 and then at $1,750.00. First support is seen at $1,725.00 and then at Thursday's low of $1,712.60.
December silver futures still see a four-week-old downtrend in place on the daily bar chart, but now it's just barely in place. Silver bulls' next upside price breakout objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at last week's high of $32.695 an ounce. The next downside price breakout objective for the bears is closing prices below solid technical support at last week's low of $30.655. First resistance is seen at the overnight high of $32.495 and then at $32.695. Next support is seen at $32.00 and then at Thursday's low of $31.63.

Anadarko posts a profit after a big year-ago loss
Published 10:12 pm, Monday, October 29, 2012
A year ago, Anadarko Petroleum Corp. posted a huge loss as it was weighed down by a multibillion-dollar Gulf oil spill settlement. This time around, it scored a third-quarter profit thanks to cost cuts and higher revenue from increased oil sales.
The independent oil and gas company, headquartered in The Woodlands, said Monday it expects the momentum to continue. It hiked its full-year sales-volumes guidance to 265 million to 267 million barrels of oil equivalent. And it doesn't expect a corresponding rise in capital spending.
"Anadarko is delivering another year of strong operational results and continued cost reductions," President and CEO Al Walker said.
The company is seeing strength in both oil and natural gas.
Natural gas volumes averaged roughly 2.5 billion cubic feet per day as Anadarko continued to ramp up activity during the quarter in its Wattenberg Horizontal program in northeast Colorado and in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. The company said those fields combined for an increase of more than 800,000 barrels of liquids sales volumes over the second quarter of this year.
Strength abroad
Overseas, there were positives as well.
Anadarko completed its four-well initial appraisal program in the Golfinho/Atum complex off Mozambique. All four appraisal wells were successful, resulting in an increase in the field's estimated recoverable natural gas resources.
Walker said the find is one of the most significant natural gas discoveries in the last 20 years and could make Mozambique one of the world's largest exporters of liquefied natural gas.
For the three months ending Sept. 30, Anadarko swung to a $121 mil- lion profit, compared with a year-ago loss that was due in large part to settlement costs related to the 2010 disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the company said. The profit was 24 cents a share, and compared with a loss of $3.05 billion, or $6.12 a share, in the year-ago period.
Revenue in the quarter rose 4 percent to $3.33 billion from $3.2 billion a year earlier.
For the first nine months of the year, Anadarko earned $2.19 billion, or $4.34 a share, compared with a loss of $2.29 billion, or $4.60 a share, a year earlier, the company said. Nine-month revenue fell slightly to $10 billion from $10.13 billion a year earlier.
Macondo effects
Anadarko was a minority owner of BP's Macondo well that blew out in the Gulf and led to the worst U.S. offshore oil spill ever. Eleven rig workers were killed in the related explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
Anadarko recorded $4.04 billion in Deepwater Horizon settlement and related costs in the third quarter of last year. That included $4 billion that Anadarko agreed to pay British oil giant BP as part of a settlement related to the Gulf disaster. Anadarko held a 25 percent share in Macondo.
As part of the settlement, BP agreed to indemnify Anadarko against certain claims. Civil and criminal fines were excluded, however, opening Anadarko up to potential further liability. BP and the Justice Department have been in talks about a settlement over fines and penalties.
Anadarko is eligible for a potential share in money that BP is able to recover from third parties or insurance, according to the two companies' agreement.
Anadarko is to discuss its results in a conference call Tuesday with investors and analysts.

STARS stands for Statewide Transfer & Articulation Reporting System. STARS is a web-accessible database system which provides guidance and direction for prospective transfer students in the State of Alabama.
The STARS System allows public two-year students in Alabama to obtain a Transfer Guide/Agreement for the major of their choice. This guide/agreement, if used correctly, guides the student through their first two years of coursework and prevents loss of credit hours upon transfer to the appropriate public four-year university in Alabama. Although transfer guides/agreements can only be printed for two-year to four-year transfers, the STARS system can still provide guidance and direction to transfer students who have a different transfer situation.

The worst gift ever
We all remember the best gifts we've ever gotten. Such a warm and cuddly thought.
But here's a savory treat with a bite: the worst gift.
Holiday Girl has a pal who knows this guy (bear with me) whose sister-in-law was given a girdle by her mother-in-law. Yeah, happy holidays to you too.
It can be tough to find just the right gift, but seriously -- a girdle? What is the proper response to such a gift? (You know, there is nothing wrong a festive candle. Really).
Holiday Girl once received what can only be described as a 'neckerchief' --- too small to be a scarf --- which came boxed and equipped with a ring (as one might wear at a rodeo).
Were these ever in style? A few thoughts on what-not-to-give: Intimate apparel (my brother once received a package of underpants for Christmas; boy did he blush); artwork (unless there is a clear indication that the recipient is into, you know, the art in question); an overly practical gift (a jar of putty, mouthwash).
Take our poll (at left) on how to handle receiving a really bad gift.
And what's your worst gift? Don't be shy now. You don't have to include names (in fact, please don't!). Post it as a comment here, or send it to me: firstname.lastname@example.com.
If I get enough stories, I'll pick a winner, who will get a nice gift.
A girdle. Wow.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Princess Bride, or its sequel, Buttercup's Baby, or the movie The Princess Bride.
"Who are you?" Inigo asked. The girl coughed questioningly. When she was done, she managed to speak.
"What do you mean by that?" she replied.
"Your name would be helpful. Also, the reason you were caught in the whirlpool."
The Greek sighed. "My name is Calliope. I'm from Greece, and I-" here Calliope had to stop to cough some more.
"You speak Florinese very well for a Greek," commented Buttercup. Calliope nodded.
"My mother was Florinese," she explained. "Her father was a merchant from Florin City. Soon after my eighth birthday, both mother's and granddad's lives were claimed by the fever, leaving me in my father's care."
"Was that a bad thing?" Buttercup asked.
"No! Your words sting!" Calliope said indignantly. Fezzik was surprised. He had been trying to think of a rhyme, too, but Calliope had seemed to have a rhyme instantly. Calliope continued talking, completely unaware of Fezzik's amazement. "My father is a good man. He took care of me, even spoiled me occasionally. If it weren't for that swindling hunchback, I'd still be in Greece, living comfortably."
"By any chance, was this hunchback a Sicilian called Vizzini?" Inigo asked ponderously. Calliope nodded.
"Yes. He certainly was a meanie. Vizzini cheated my father out of all of his money. After Vizzini vanished from Athens," (this was after Athens, too) "Father decided that I had to get married. He also decided that it was about time that he got remarried, so father was quite busy finding suitably rich nobles. Honestly, I think I did both of us a favor by faking my death."
"So how did you get here?" Inigo asked.
Calliope shrugged. "Well, it was really quite queer." Fezzik's awe of this Greek was now complete. She rhymed so easily and quickly that he began to wonder what it might be like to play his rhyming game with her. She likely had much more stamina than Inigo, who no longer held much interest in rhymes, preferring instead to brood or fence with shadows, more often than not his own.
"I set out in a rowboat, but then I came into trouble when I hit the whirlpool. The next thing I recalled, I was here, feeling as useful as an empty thread spool." Calliope exhaled loudly, her airways now seemingly clear of water. "Well, now that you know who I am, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Inigo Montoya," Inigo said after a short pause.
"I'm Buttercup, and this is my daughter Waverly," Buttercup said, following Inigo's example.
"And I am Fezzik," Fezzik said. Calliope jumped. She'd nearly forgotten Fezzik's presence, due to the fact he had been so quiet all through her story. Still, Calliope thought that she had heard the name before, and perhaps had seen his face somewhere. Calliope stood up, legs wobbling, but did not fall. She brushed the sand off of herself and then looked up at the trees, glorious and green, untouched by humans for centuries.
"These trees," Calliope began, her eyes growing misty at the beauty of this most wonderful foliage, "They look exactly as my mother described the trees of Florin once were. She often told me that no olive tree could hope to compete with those Florinese trees and their greatness."
Hello again. Yes, it's me, Lucy. Long time, no see, I know. Now, I was going to continue on in this vein, with Calliope singing praises of the glorious Florinese trees, in order to remain (hopefully) true to the Morgenstern. However, on second thought, that'd be really boring and tedious to read, and anyway, I think you get the picture. Well, I may or may not be updating again soon, so don't hold your breath or anything.

779: Anxiety
Title text: Don't need any, thanks. I have a backscattering fetish.
[edit] Explanation
Some people are upset about airport security policies that mandate the use of backscatter X-ray machines, since the machines can create an image of the subject naked. Black Hat is selling Viagra for men as means to thumb their noses (so to speak) at the system by forcing the security guard to see them with erections. The problem with this approach is that the time spent in a line of this length will be far too short for the Viagra to have any effect whatsoever. However, judging by the security guard's thought bubble, he regardless is not looking forward to the images.
At the title text, one of the people in the line explains has a fetish with getting X-ray scanned, and so thus doesn't need Viagra to achieve the above effect.
[edit] Transcript
- [There is an airport security checkpoint where a queue of ten passengers is waiting to go through a backscatter x-ray scanner. Near the back of the line, Black Hat is standing next to a stand which says "Viagra $20". One passenger next to him is drinking a glass of water, probably after having taken pills; another is contemplating the sign.]
- Security Guard (thinking): Oh god.
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
I don't think it's Black Hat saying the title text but someone else in line. However, I'm not sure so I'm hesitant to edit it.184.108.40.206 15:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
I think the point is not about offending the backscatter operator, but more about men not wanting others to view their genitals in the flaccid state. Many men have self-esteem issues about genital size, and would be eager to take a pill that would make them appear larger before exposing themselves in that way. 184.108.40.206 05:29, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
$20 a pill for a now-generic (Pfizer's patent expired in mid-2014) medication is a bit steep, yes? 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Not sure how that is in any way relevant, since the comic is from 2010. Are you suggesting that Randall on a regular basis should go back and adjust all his comics for inflation and other market developments? 126.96.36.199 22:35, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Plus, Black Hat is probably not overmuch concerned with providing a fair price. It's like the vending machines at amusement parks that charge $5 for a bottle of water. --184.108.40.206 20:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Backscattering fetish must be a subset of X-ray porn (which exists - no, really). 126.96.36.199 11:15, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- I don't know what I expected. I googled it. 18.104.22.168 18:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)BK201

Pressure sensors will lead the charge for MEMS, penned in to become the top device as soon as 2014, according to analysts at IHS.
This is because of their increasing adoption in the automotive, medical and industrial segments. As the automotive industry managed to bounce back from the last recession, pressure senor MEMS generated $1.22 billion in revenue, up 26 percent from 2009.
In fact the automative sector is the largest area for MEMS pressure sensors, holding the lion's share at 72 percent. Then medical electronics has 11 percent and the industrial segment has 10 percent. The rest is made up of consumer electronics and military-aerospace applications, reports IHS.
Car makers need MEMS sensors because they're vital in brake and tire pressure monitors, which tend to help the passenger avoid getting mangled in car crashes. Similarly, aircraft tend to use the pressure sensors to monitor critical components like the engines, as well as altitude air pressure.
MEMS pressure sensors are membrane elements that deflect under pressure, says IHS, which can be measured by piezoresistive sensing or by a change in distance between two plates, through capacitive sensing.
Next year won't be as strong with only a 6.6 percent boost in market share. But double digit growth is expected for 2012. When 2014 rolls around, revenue for MEMS pressure sensors should sit at roughly $1.85 billion, according to IHS.
Although accelerometers and gyroscopes have flooded the market, IHS senior MEMS analyst Richard Dixon believes they will become the top MEMS device in revenue in just three years. This will be thanks to very steady market expansion, he says.
MEMS pressure sensors have a wide variety of uses, and so the price will vary with that. High-value industrial and medical uses can see the sensors cost up to tens of dollars, while specialised applications such as for aircraft hydraulics or air data measurements can reach as high as hundreds of dollars a piece.

The issue is that a wifi network serving a small town that is used to give citizens of that town access to this increasingly important resource known as the internet was shut down because of the actions of the mpaa. This is like shutting down the schools because one kid got caught cheating. A private organizations shouldn't be allowed to punish such a large group of people because of the actions of one individual. Furthermore illegally downloading stuff is a civil matter between the downloader and the mpaa, not a criminal offense.
No it is not, really. The internet is still a "luxury" not a necessity. The private organization probably, simply pointed out that a government entity was allowing illegal activities to take place on it. And as I stated before, that is a big no-no. It's the government, they uphold the law, they implement the law... to have laws being broken on something they maintain is just plain wrong.
So, because someone informs the police that someone was speeding on a particular road, the government should close down that road?
No, the person who downloaded the movie should has no right to do so. They are doing something illegal. However, shutting down the service simply because one person used it to break the law is stupid. Did they honestly expect that no one was ever going to use their network to illegally download something? In this day and age, it happens all the time. It's not good that it's so common, but to really expect that no one is going to at least try to illegally download something on a public network of any size is just naive.
People shouldn't be illegally downloading anything, but the RIAA and the MPAA have too much power and continue to cause trouble for people who actually do follow the law. Shutting down the entire network because of one person is as stupid as it would be to shutdown a road just because one person used that road for illegal activities. It's just stupid and punishes many people who did nothing wrong.
Not all that long ago, in terms of history, the same was said of schools, or indoor plumbing, or any number of things we now define as necessities. What is necessary changes with the time and society in which you live, and while the internet is not there yet it very likely will eventually be considered as necessary as schools in the future. If we take the word "necessity" literally then it only includes two things: food and water.
Actually it is a necessity. With the economy as bad as it is and rising with numbers of people out of work, they need to look for jobs. Did you know that to apply at a grocery store even you need to fill out the application online? To work at Walmart, you need to fill out the application online? The same is true for McDonald's even. You can no longer walk into a place and ask for an application, as they now tell you a website to go and fill out an application. Being in that situation myself I have learned how necessary it is. Now granted a person can go to the public library possibly, if they still have a home address that is.

I can't believe the SEC is not going to close off all the loop holes and not enforce market makers, etc, from having to comply with having the long shares on hand in order before they can issue short sells. It's like you're inviting the continuous opportunity of manipulation to keep going.
You have to know that wherever there is a opportunity to exploit it will be exploited. I'm in favor of shorting as you indicated and I and so many others agree it is the naked short selling that is the issue. Unfortunately, the system relies on honesty by brokers/brokerages/market makers, etc, to not exploit the system. Well, they do. I believe the big brokerage houses do comply (although they should always be kept an eye on too) and it's the market makers and hedge funds, the ones everyone says are the sellers of last resort but they're the ones that aren't being held accountable and are the ones that can get away with the naked short selling the easiest. Take HANS for example, this stock is being hammered by the market makers and hedge funds selling naked shorts.
I don't care if liquidity would be impaired if it meant that the straight forward honesty factor of knowing that naked shorting can't occur and that this form of manipulation couldn't occur. That should be the real goal, preventing manipulation and dishonesty. I want an honest environment and not one with loopholes that can be exploited. I don't care if you have to require serial numbers to accompany every stock and it's movements so that they can be accounted for. That's what computers are for.
The honesty and integrity needs to be the highest consideration. Liquidity will always be worked out by the pricing mechanism whereas exploitation and manipulation will always win out because enforcement is never on top of the situation especially when the rules provide exceptions which will be like a magnet for sources to exploit. It happens every single stinking loophole or wiggle room provided. People will always buy and sell unless they see that it's all rigged which the stock market surely is and continues to be.

Earth Friendly: Learn the language of clean air
June 19, 2014 at 1:19 a.m.
I recently stopped myself mid-sentence while talking with a colleague and realized something. I realized I sometimes get off on a tangent while talking about air quality and suddenly see the other person's eyes gloss over.
It's the same kind of glisten you see on a piping hot donut just taken from the oven, dripping with warm, sweet, sugary glaze; although this glaze is more bittersweet than anything.
Am I really that person who talks in code; surely, everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about? Ugh, yes, I can be that person. So, in an attempt to keep the glaze out of your eyes and only on that sinfully delicious doughnut, I would like to go over a few terms, or jargon, that come with the job, if you will.
NOx: NOx, pronounced "knocks," is a term used to describe nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen oxides are compounds that are found in things like emissions from driving or fueling up at the gas station.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Do you ever see that weird, shimmering cloud hovering right outside your gas tank while you are fueling up? That is an example of what VOCs are. These are chemicals, like benzene or acetone, that vaporize readily and are harmful to humans.
Ground-level ozone: This is a compound, often called O3, that is created at the ground level. It is created when certain compounds, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, combine together under the right conditions. Those conditions require sunlight, little to no breeze and a concentration of ozone contributors such as NOx and VOCs present.
Attainment: This term is used in reference to the air quality index by the Environmental Protection Agency. If an area has a level of ozone well below 75 parts per billion, then that area is said to have "attained" a status of safe levels of ground-level ozone.
Nonattainment: This means what it sounds like. It means an area has a level of ozone higher than the standard of 75 parts per billion. In other words, it has not attained a safe level of ground-level ozone.
Near nonattainment: This is the status Victoria currently possesses. We are rather close to not meeting the 75 parts per billion standard set by the EPA, and we were at one time classified as nonattainment. We sit in the very low 70s, about 71 to 72, at the moment. While we are in attainment, it isn't by much - just by the hair of our teeth.
You've gotten to this point in the article, and you might be wondering why you spent the last five minutes reading definitions to this environmental air quality mumbo jumbo. Well, as the level of ozone in Victoria goes up, so does the price of things associated with owning a car, like inspection stickers and what you pay at the pump. While you watch prices go up, your health decreases.
Keep your money and your health on the rise and practice safe driving. Visit victoriatx.org/environmental for driving tips that keep you living a cleaner and maybe a little richer.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
A New Version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol at American Conservatory Theatre
Also see Richard's reviews of After Dark and Into the Woods and Mary Wilson at the Empire Plush Room
The new version is faithful to the classic script, but much of the presentation is devoid of warmth. Only the lively dancing choreographed by Cal Caniparoli and danced by Steve Irish and Sharon Lockwood as Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig gives that holiday feeling. Ken Ruta plays Jacob Marley in a steel gray suit looking like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. He rises from Scooge's bed like a Universal horror film creature.
Allison Youngberg plays the Ghost of Christmas Past, flying about on a trapeze bar. For some reason, she is supposed to represent a candle but she looks more like an ice queen.
Steven Anthony Jones makes a fine Ghost of Christmas Present, with his round, robust body and great theatrical voice that booms from high above the stage floor. Some charming little children dressed as Spanish Onions, Turkish Figs and French plums do a lovely little dance, with the talented Cindy Goldfield as a produce seller kicking up her heels and joining in.
The Ghost of Christmas Future is a large object with red flashing eyes, covering the whole stage. It is also out of a Universal horror film, and is entirely too large to be effective. Dancers come in and out with tombstones until Scrooge sees his name on one the stones. This is the weakest of the three ghost scenes.
Giles Havergal is a perfect killjoy for the holidays at the beginning of the production, but his change to being a charitable human being is lost in this performance. He seems to be the same person even after the three ghosts have visited.
Jud Williford and Jamila Webb as Mr. and Mrs. Cratchit do what they can, but their roles are minor in this production. However, they give good performances. G.D. Kimble is very jolly as Scrooge's nephew Fred. The new score by Karl Lundeberg seems ordinary. Prior productions had a Dickens character explaining some of the action; these were masterpieces of Dickens' writing. Now the words are put to the mundane melodies and they have lost their spark.
A Christmas Carol will play at the Geary Theatre, 415 Geary Ave, San Francisco through December 24th. Tickets can be obtained by calling 415-749-2228 or visiting www.act-sf.org.
A.C.T.'s next production will be David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago opening on January 5th.

Former Broadway actor Greg Stone of Camano Island takes the stage tonight as Jean Valjean in Village Theatre's production of the musical "Les Miserables," running through Feb. 9 at the Everett Performing Arts Center.
His professional acting career is a lifetime removed from his childhood in Lynnwood, where Stone dreamed of becoming a professional athlete.
In the late 1970s, Edmonds Community College's Frank DeMiero visited Stone's elementary school to audition a group of boys for the college production of Menotti's opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors."
Stone got the part of Amahl.
"My family wasn't musical," Stone, now 45, said. "So, Amahl gave me a glimpse into a whole new world. I am so thankful to Frank for that."
DeMiero said he remembers well working with Stone.
"He was a wonderful boy soprano, a natural," said DeMiero, who directs the Sno-King Chorale. "We've stayed in touch over the years.
"During my decades teaching in south Snohomish County, I met so many talented kids. But Greg was one of those who had the talent and he worked hard. It's obvious why he's been successful."
At Lynnwood High School, Stone decided to try theater again and was cast as the Scarecrow in the school's 1985 production of "The Wizard of Oz."
"I still liked sports, but I fell in with the acting crowd," Stone said. "I still didn't know that my dream had changed to musical theater."
After graduating from Lynnwood in 1986, Stone attended Shoreline Community College, where he appeared in plays, sang in the choir and studied voice with Susan Dolacky, who ran the musical theater program at Shoreline.
While finishing his English degree at the University of Washington, Stone found parts in Seattle-area productions, such as those at the 5th Avenue Theatre, and in Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
"My big break locally came in 1993," Stone said. "I was only 25 and got cast as Jesus in Village Theatre's 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'"
The experience was profound, Stone said.
"It was the first time I felt I could be a leading man in a major production."
A year later, while playing poker one night with other members of the 5th Avenue ensemble, Stone was asked by one of the actors with Broadway experience about his future.
"Kid, you're good-looking. You can sing. When are you going to New York?"
Stone decided to give Broadway a try.
"I crashed on a friend's couch," he said. "And I did get some work, which was encouraging."
Back home for a visit, Stone found out about auditions for the North American touring production of "Les Miserables." He didn't arrive in time for the men's audition, so he crashed the women's ensemble casting call.
At the audition, he was asked to sing eight bars and told to come back the next day, only to sing just 16 measures of music.
The casting director yelled at him to stop and asked Stone, then 27, if he had ever seen the musical.
"I hadn't. So he gave me two tickets to the Broadway show that night. I came back and sang Valjean's 'Who am I?' Again, he shouted for me to stop. But this time, he said I had the job."
So, off Stone went, first as an understudy in the touring production and later as the youngest actor ever to fill the shoes of Valjean. He also played the role on Broadway midway through the 2 1/2 years he was on tour. He met his future wife, Chelsea, during the tour's run in Dallas and returned with the tour to Seattle, where the jubilant audience was filled with family and friends.
Stone and his wife moved to New Jersey so he could continue his work on Broadway, where he had roles in shows including "Miss Saigon," "Oklahoma!" "Urban Cowboy" and "The Pirate Queen," as well as in productions off-Broadway and in professional regional theater.
"But at some point, I really missed the Northwest," Stone said. "We visited a friend on Camano Island. It was a glorious sunny day. I was tired of New Jersey. We bought a house on the island."
Though he would return to Broadway for the right role, Stone said he has found plenty of work in the vibrant theater community of the Northwest.
"It took me way too long to come home," Stone said. "It's about quality of life. Now, I go down to the beach, get in my little boat and go crabbing. I watch the birds. It's magical here."
Stone said he is eager to bring "Les Mis" to Everett.
"The story of redemption is epic and it resonates with most people," he said. "Everett audiences appreciate Village Theatre productions, and I am as proud of this one as any I've ever done."
As far as his childhood dream of becoming a pro athlete, Stone shrugs. His resume still lists his abilities in various sports.
"The thing is," he said, "you have to be athletic to perform Valjean eight times a week."

Have you visited your local gift and card shops lately? If so, you surely have noticed that there's a new guy in the neighborhood. His name is St. Patrick and he's moved right into the spaces that had formerly been occupied by St. Valentine.
Green shamrocks have replaced hearts and flowers on the covers of greeting cards. Little plush elves dressed in Irish regalia now reside on shelves that recently housed chocolate roses.
St. Patrick has even announced his arrival in the workplace. Gone are the ubiquitous heart-shaped candies that professed our affection for each other. The receptionist's desk is now laden with pots of golden chocolate coins.
So it's on to the faked Irish brogue and an "O" preceding our surnames. And we can certainly forget about all that love stuff. Right? Not!
Did we really need a reminder on February 14 that love and kindness should permeate our lives? I don't think so. I think that we all continue to love our spouses and partners, our children, parents, and friends whether it is Valentine's Day or not. What we do forget, however, is the wonderfully free-flowing demonstrativeness that day allowed.
On Valentine's Day we helped our children share cards of affection with their classmates and teachers. We adults openly expressed our love for each other in ways that, perhaps, we neglect to do the rest of the year. There's no way we could have been "too busy" to overlook the day and its meaning. Restaurants offered special dinners; hotels advertised "lover's weekend retreats". Even the comic section of your daily newspaper followed a Valentine's Day theme.
So just what happened on February 15th? We scarfed down the last of the chocolates, added water to the vase of long-stemmed roses and continued on with our hectic lives. What might not have happened was taking the time to tell each other that we love them.
While it isn't realistic to suggest that we make every day Valentine's Day – we certainly don't need more cards and candy – I propose that we find our own version of that day of love at least once a week. And let us call it Valentine's Week. Once a week make a date with your spouse or partner. Go to dinner or a movie; make a special meal at home; take a walk together; leave the hectic world behind and concentrate on just the two of you. Do the same with your children by making sure each of them have individual time with you to talk and play and learn about each other. Find a way to let the friends and family members who you love know just how important they are to you.
Please don't misunderstand me. Valentine's Week does not preclude remembering to say "I love you" on a daily basis; holding hands and bestowing each other with caring glances. Valentine's Week allows for an ongoing reminder (how sad that sometimes we need reminders) that we do love each other and we need to share that love.
If I may borrow an age old tradition from elementary school, let's think of Valentine's Week as our own personal "show and tell". Make sure you show those whom you love how much you love them. Make sure you remember to tell them with those three priceless words: "I love you".
And now, even though it is not February 14, I will leave my computer, go up to my husband's office and give him a kiss.

You can't see the runway of the new airport in the Lollie Bottoms from the ground unless you're almost on top of it, but with the new airport terminal building built you can see the airport in the farmland from about three miles away.
The plan has been to open the new airport on Aug. 14, but that might be pushed back some because of rain delays in construction, newly hired airport manager Josh Zylks said on Wednesday.
The new airport will be called Cantrell Field, in contrast to the existing airport, which is officially called Dennis F. Cantrell Field. When the new one opens, the old one will stay open for 30 days, during which most aircraft there will make the short trip to their new hangars.
This week workers will keep working on the interior of the terminal building. Zylks said that from what he's seen travelers and local pilots will be impressed with the fit and finish.
Impressing people is part of the business of an airport like Conway's Zylks said. For pilots travelling cross-country, it's like a truck stop "to a certain extent," he said, because those travelers will buy fuel and food at the airport or in Conway. "But a lot of [traffic] will be businesses coming in to check on their operations or people thinking about locating their businesses in Conway, and this is going to be their first impression," he said.
The fueling equipment still has to be put in, and the enclosed hangars for small private planes need to be built. The plan is to start moving planes from the old airport to the new one as these are built. By the end of the 30 days that both airports are operating, there should be a place for all of them, Zylks said.
None of the seven large "corporate" hangars that have been contracted for has started construction yet, so the larger jets and turboprops at the existing airport will have to be hangared somewhere else until these are built by their private owners.
There have been plans on the books for a new airport since the 90s, but it's a long process. The need for a new airport was highlighted in June, 2007 with the death of a pilot and a woman at a house that used to be at the west end of the main runway. The pilot landed either too fast or to long — or both — just after a rainshower, and wasn't able to stop or get his Cessna Citation 500 twin-jet back in the air. It went through the airport fence and into the house. The single passenger somehow escaped with minor injuries.
Zylks and other city officials have said that this tragedy convinced FAA officials that a new airport in Conway needed to be given more priority.
The existing airport is "built in," with neighborhoods and schools at the west end of its runway and neighborhoods and a large shopping center at the other. Pilots who lose power on takeoff have the options of trying to find a place to crash that hopefully won't kill anybody or try and turn back and crash or land on airport property. A Mississippi man was killed when his Cessna 210 lost power after takeoff in November, 2012. He made the decision to turn back, which pilots are instructed will usually result in a crash. His Cessna crashed on airport property and no one on the ground was hurt.
The new airport is being built using 90 percent federal money. The remainder is split between state money and local money generated by the sale of the current airport property. By federal law, money from the sale of the current airport land must be invested into the new airport.
The city has contracted with a developer to build a large-scale shopping center to be called Central Landing at the old airport property.

NDNU Honors Community Leader Sister Roseanne Murphy
Belmont, CA, March 10, 2009 — Notre Dame de Namur University will honor Sister Roseanne Murphy, SNDdeN, for her exemplary community service and for reflecting the vision of the University at the Eighth Annual NDNU Gala, "Great Expectations," at 6:30 p.m., March 21.
In keeping with NDNU's mission to promote the values of social justice through community engagement, NDNU has established an annual award for an individual who has demonstrated outstanding community service, with the goal of recognizing citizens who have given selflessly of their time, energy, and resources to improve the quality of life for others and to promote social justice.
This year the University is excited to honor Sr. Roseanne with the NDNU Community Spirit Award, not only for her many accomplishments, but also for her thoughtful and lively personality. For more than 45 years, Sr. Roseanne has been a major presence at NDNU. She has touched the lives of innumerable students, many of whom still keep in touch and treasure her as part of their lives.
"It is our goal to recognize citizens of the Bay Area who have given selflessly of their time, energy, and resources to improve the quality of life for others and to promote social justice," said NDNU President, Judith Maxwell Greig, Ph.D.
"This time we didn't have to look very far at all," Dr. Greig continued. "Sr. Roseanne has served the University for more than 45 years, and embodies our mission and core values. She is a part of all of our hearts."
Sr. Roseanne has had a powerful impact on the cause of social justice not only through teaching and bringing noted scholars to the NDNU campus, but also through her writing. In the past year she authored the biography of Sr. Dorothy Stang, who was murdered in Brazil in 2005 for defending the rights of the poor against corrupt government officials and greedy land owners. Her book, Martyr of the Amazon: The Life of Sister Dorothy Stang,has done much to call attention to the issues of social justice and sustainability in Latin America.
She has also written the biography of Saint Julie Billiart, and contributed to numerous publications. Her awards include two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and a Danforth Fellowship for College Teachers. Sr. Roseanne is a member of Delta Epsilon Sigma, and the Psi Chi Honor Society.
Upon graduating from Notre Dame High School in Belmont, Sr. Roseanne attended St. Joseph's College of Nursing where she became a Registered Nurse. After entering the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, she was sent to Stanford University for her M.A. and then to University of Notre Dame for her Ph.D. in Sociology.
In 1965, she was sent to (then) College of Notre Dame where she became Chair of the Sociology and Psychology Department, a position she held for thirty-seven years. During her tenure as Department Chair, she began innovative programs in graduate studies and directed a semester in Rome for thirty-three students. In 1999, she became Director of Alumni Relations and currently she is the Executive Director of Planned Giving.
When asked about being honored at Great Expectations: The 2009 NDNU Gala, Sr. Roseanne says, "I see it as an honor to all the Sisters who have given their lives to this place, not just me. I've had the honor to work with some of the finest women in the world."
Previous recipients of the Community Spirit Award include Marie Damrell Gallo '57, Mary Lou '79 and Joe Putnam, Peter Brusati, Pamela G. Clarke, and Dennis Pettinelli.
Sponsors for this year's NDNU Gala include Leadership Sponsor-W.F. Batton Management Company, Benefactor Sponsors -Bob and Marie Damrell Gallo, Tad Taube, Koret Foundation, Argonaut Sponsors – Mr. and Mrs. Fred D. Hawley, Bob and Toni '85 Oyster, Union Bank, Patron Sponsors –Borel Private Bank & Trust Company, Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, Dr. Giselle Parry Farris and Ray K.

Wow! Now I know I have to wear my glasses when doing close work on the 200. When I removed the old seal it literally jumped out. Actually today when I went back with my glasses on I could see another section of the old seal still in the race. Once removed the new seal went right in. Now I feel like a real nit wit. Thanks for the help guys! Now my dad's old rule comes back to me . . . if it don't fit don't force it. A bigger hammer is not always the answer.
