FIFA World Cup: Can't take Costa Rica lightly, sya Italy's De Rossi
Italy look to reach the World Cup last 16 with victory over giant-killers Costa Rica today but the four-time champions are wary of Recife's tropical conditions
Natal: Italy look to reach the World Cup last 16 with victory over giant-killers Costa Rica today but the four-time champions are wary of Recife's tropical conditions.

Tough-tackling Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has underlined Costa Rica's likely advantage in the sweltering conditions in Recife, where he said Italy were "dying from the heat" last year during the Confederations Cup.
Having made a blistering start to what is only their fourth World Cup campaign with a shock 3-1 win over Uruguay, the 'Ticos' would be forgiven for keeping the pace high from kick-off as they go in search of another upset.
"Italy have great players like (Mario) Balotelli and (Andrea) Pirlo, who controls all of their play, and we have a lot of respect for them," said FC Copenhagen midfielder Christian Bolanos.
"But we'll hope to benefit from the heavy climate. We are used to playing in those kinds of temperatures."
Italy, who crashed out at the group stage in 2010, launched their bid for a record-equalling fifth title with a crucial 2-1 win over England in Manaus last week in their Group D opener.
Put on notice
But the four-time champions were given notice following Costa Rica's shock win over 2010 semi-finalists Uruguay that a match they would have been widely expected to dominate may be more difficult than first imagined.
"They'll be fired up after their win," said De Rossi. "If they had lost 4-0 then we might have underestimated them, but now there's no chance of that." However De Rossi added: "But I hope, and I'm sure, we can beat Costa Rica and secure our ticket to the second round."

For example, we need to get used to the possibility of running multiple copies of the same site on a single server, sharing different versions of identically named DLLs. Another thing that developers might find incredible is XCopy deployment, which allows a developer to deploy an application by simply copying files to the target location.

It's been a long time coming but we've finally finished our new web-site design. We're hoping to make it easier to find the information you're looking for.
Although we've already made a significant number of changes, expect to see more coming soon. We've already added unique parts lists for just about every vehicle. This is just one of many updates we have in store.
In addition to the added items, I have to announce the removal of the Shelby Can-Am. Robert Johnson over at www.ShelbyCanAm.com is really intune with that community and since he has all of the contacts and resources, I'm going to bow out.
I would also like to solicit pictures to be used on the Registry.
As always, we appreciate the support we've received from the Shelby Dodge community over the years.

When it was first announced, the 3D Justin Bieber biopic was set to be directed by Davis Guggenheim of An Inconvenient Truth and It Might Get Loud. He seemed like the perfect choice; perhaps the perfectest. But when he dropped out 24 hours later, the project was left scrambling to find a new director, and time was of the essence, because how much longer can this kid possibly be a Twitter trending topic? At the time, I suggested Kenny Ortega or Adam Shankman or one of the other Disney channel pedos, but today it was announced that the director will be Jon Chu of Step and Step Up 2 tha Streets, which is probably for the best, as only someone who truly understands "the streets" could ever hope to tell the Justin Bieber story.
To the disingenuous press release!
"When I was approached about doing Justin's film, I jumped at the opportunity to tell a story with honesty and heart. Most people don't know that his is a true underdog story, and I hope to tell it in a compelling, genuine way, using all source materials available to convey his tale of becoming an icon for this digital age. This is the story of a new voice continuing the tradition of musicians that defined their generation," said Director Jon M. Chu.
Yes, it's a true underdog story, about the inspiring way in which Justin Bieber toiled at his craft for years and, against all odds, became a world-famous pop star before he hit puberty. I can't wait to see this story told with honesty and heart, by which I mean, "in 3D."
UPDATE: Now with even more boring video!

"The Robicheau/Woodman Family of Digby, Nova Scotia Canada"
"The Robicheau/Woodman Family of Digby, Nova Scotia Canada"Updated July 2, 2001
|pamela mae ring (robicheau)
highway 101 RR#2
Digby,Nova Scotia b0v 1a0
I am searching for information on my family whom I don't know very much about. My father was Charles Lloyd Robicheau and my mothers name was Fern Grace Robicheau(Woodman) both from Digby, Nova Scotia Canada. I thought this would be an interesting project to learn about where I came from and also to have for my grandchildren when they get older. All I really know is that they were married on July 9th 1952 at Saint Patrick's church in Digby. My fathers parents were James E Robicheau of Digby and my fathers mother was Florence Blinn and I think she was from Boston. My mothers father was Francis Alvin Woodman of Digby and her mother was Mary Grace Woodman. My mother died September 1972 and my father died August 1984. anyone who could give me some advice I would appreciate it.

What we do
HARDWARE.co is a global community and accelerator for entrepreneurs, industry professionals and makers dedicated to the creation of innovative hardware products and companies. HARDWARE.co is made out of several interconnected components to serve, maintain, and grow our community. The HARDWARE.co Accelerator, Lab, Meetups, and Online Platform form a multichannel resource to give community members the opportunity to create leading products and companies. We support every stage of hardware development – from ideas, to prototypes, to investments, and beyond.
The full story
Hardware.co began in 2013 as a small & informal meetup in Berlin for Hardware entrepreneurs, makers and enthusiasts to exchange advice, questions and answers, and stories of success and failure. The group quickly grew too large for its own meetups and pitch events. The meetup organisers realised that interest in hardware technology and products flourished; both in Berlin and worldwide. In order to be able to keep the community-drivenness, yet become professional and big enough to be available to a larger group of people, they partnered up with the founders of betahaus and established HARDWARE.co.
HARDWARE.co ran its first accelerator program in 2013 and has throughout the years established itself as the go-to place for hardware expertise in Berlin. With an established accelerator program and global community of enthusiasts, the HARDWARE.co community is set out, to build the future of hardware.

All-Inclusive Travel: What a concept!
Grenada was the setting, the hotel the Spice Island Beach Resort. As I swamp in my very own pool, located on my very private patio in front of my very private room, I was thinking about two things. One, some of the cliches really are true. I could overhear little American tourist spawns shouting "Marco . . . Polo!" at each other from the communal pool. I didn't have to look at them, though. Make that double my pleasure: I also couldn't see the European guests, who were actually in some cases as fat as the Americans, except they didn't even have the decency to cover up. (Some things, particularly when they are barely encased in a Speedo, cannot be unseen.)

"Will Self-Awakening Help Me To Flow And Access States Of Flow For My Professional Or Creative Demands And Desires?"
Yep. In fact I still know of no other way to do it as simply or directly. Everything else is either 'hard work', kept secret, unknown or discreet. This is the fast-track directly.
(Apologies if this question is too similar to the last one..if nothing else, a quick reinforcement of how valuable it is..some people will be firing through the bookmark tabs fast! Also version 1.1 whenever it comes out will have some updates, thx)
For years I was frustrated that absolutely no one could tell me how to get into states of Flow. They referenced it as 'talent' or 'luck' or '1 hit wonder'. They valued and edified it but could never say how other than 'hard work', lots of practice or many many hours. That wasn't good enough for me. I wanted to know HOW to consistently output golden eggs.
Sure my ego wanted to find out and the experience of flow IS egoless but without that drive and curiosity to KNOW 'how to flow' along with the greater drive of performance requiring power, I never would have discovered as predictable and simple a formula as Self-Awakening for guaranteed flow. You simply have to build a better relationship with your Heart.
Try it for yourself and see how Self-Awakening as the free methodology will help you to access consistent states of creative flow for performance, professional and creative output.

so good go hear from you Margaret. What a frustrating time with your step-son. Glad you are enjoying school. Looking forward to seeing a picture of Rascal.
Chiliwist Valley
Welcome back Margaret, I have thought about you a lot and wondered if you were just too busy with life in Calif. to get ion QCA. Now we know the answer. Sorry you have been having a jolly go round with your Step-son. I can relate, but it was with my son. He has certainly straightened out over the years though and is now a big help to have around and a very hard worker. I hope the same turns out to be your step-sons outcome in the future, but it is tough going thru the hard times, I know. Glad you school is going so well. Keep in touch. Ginny
Well Nancy and Gini, I got rid of my glasses by having cataract surgeries done in December. Now I reach for my missing glasses automatically and realize that I don't need them. That is a shock too. Ginny
Ginny, I have the start of cataracts, but it will be 5-8 years before I need the surgery, I think.

Margaret welcome back! Congrats on the GPA, working hard has it's rewards. Sorry you and hubby are going through all of the problems with SS. DH is going about it in the right way but unfortunately it wasn't the same at his mom's. I pray all will work out well for everyone, (((((HUGS)))))
BTW, Rascal is a positive in your lives, enjoy him.
Millbury, MA
Margaret, I was so happy to see you posting again. Really missed you. Sorry for all the QCA problems. I guess the site is a work in progress. Rascal sounds like a real darling. Love terriers. Your DH is a wonderful man to take on a son. If it's any comfort our son was that way for a while. But adulthood has changed a lot. He's out on his own and really being successful. The future may hold positive memories yet. Happy New Year!
Thanks everyone. Oh I have been busy but I love keeping up with all the happenings here. Hopefully I will get a little quilting in since I am on break from school until the 3rd of February. I have no doubt that SS will go on to do great things in life once he finds his motivation. As for Rascal he keeps us entertained for sure, I feel in love with him from the moment I saw him.
margaret, this site has been down a lot this past year. we have a yahoo group, quilters quilting that we go to when we can't get on here. we also have a live chat that we can go to at snickerdoodle dreams, when we can't access this site. which happens several times weekly, sometimes for a day or more. you have to get approved at snickerdoodle which takes a day
gini in north idaho
This is the newest addition to our family. In the top picture he had enough of me studying and decided he needed some playtime with me. With that look who could say no. I am so happy we have a dog in the house again.
What a little cutie!!
Since our children have left the nest, we refer to our Dachsund as our youngest child.
Pets are a real comfort...Right up there with quilting :)
How cute Margaret, impossible to resist that face! I agree, a dog adds so much....... food, vet, chewed up items, potty spots, letting them in and out in and out in and out.....and it's all worth it. We love our two pooches as well as our kitty.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Margaret, he is certainly a charmer. I couldn't have resisted that face either. Ginny
Welcome back Margaret. It is very nice to hear from you again. I'm glad you are enjoying your classes and have such a good GPA. As for your stepson, I think that you and DH are right. He need to realize he is now an adult and that he lives with the consequences of his actions. Hopefully he will either be transferred to Maryland or get an apartment.
Angèle from NWO
Welcome back Margaret ! Been wondering where you were,glad to hear your doing so well in school and have a new little dog. We have two Dachshunds and cant imagine not having them. As for your DSS I wish you luck as we are dealing with a 24 yr. old who does work but thinks all the money is his. Im releived to hear some of the ladies here have dealt with these- hard to grow up boys - and they have turned out fine after-all. there is light at the end of the tunnel, I hope and pray. Keep in touch with us if you can manage it after you go back to school next month. It sounds like a lot on your plate but you are handling it well . Happy to see you back !!! Susan

WPC decking also called wood plastic composite decking is an attractive and dependable decking solution that will withstand the test of time. Each piece is knot free and consistent in size, color and length. WPC decking looks, smells and handles like wood but has the durability of plastic, it is UV treated to last. We export Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) worldwide.
What is WPC Wood Plastic Composite composed of and how is it made?
WPC is composed of 55% waste wood and 45% thermal plastic resin waste plastic. Waste wood is retrieved from demolition sites, lumber mills, factories, wood shops and other sources utilizing wood as a basic raw material in the production of goods. The waste wood is the retrieved and ground to hundreds of microns and is then mixed and kneaded with the waste plastic. The resulting WPC mixture is extruded with heat through custom made molds and cooled with water immediately thereafter.
Quality of WPC?
Due to a protective surface covering, WPC products are highly water resistant and resist corrosion by bacteria and insect damage inflicted by termites. The manufacturing process of WPC brings out the best in the efficient use of waste wood and waste plastic resulting in an eco logically friendly and extremely versatile building material.
WPC environmentally friendly?
Because it is made from waste products and 100% recycled materials. Accordingly, when compared to the felling, stripping and lumbering of natural wood, the production of WPC is more environmentally friendly. Although energy produced and used in manufacturing WPC results in a certain amount of C02 emissions, such emissions are minimized by exhaust scrubbing thereby minimizing and negative impact on the environment. Because the extrusion process allows nearly 100% material usage, there is almost no waste of the recycled input materials used in making WPC.
Advantages of the WPC Wood Plastic Composite Decking:
- Natural color
- Slip resistant
- UV treatment, resists fading-even under prolonged sunny conditions
- Low maintenance
- Perfect finish
- Insect, termite and mold resistant, resists warping and decay
- Does not require painting, and comes in 5 basic colors
Available in 5 colors:
Wood color, dark grey, copper brown, coffee color, cedar color

Washington man stranded in accident calls for better cell service
Published 3:11 pm, Monday, September 21, 2015
Photo: Contributed Photo / Contributed By Joe Mustich
WASHINGTON — A man left suspended upside down and stranded in a dead cell area following a car crash last month is calling for phone service to be added to a Washington Depot tower.
Joe Mustich, a Washington resident, began a petition on change.org to encourage Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, along with Rep. Elizabeth Esty, to pressure AT&T to install service on the cell tower in Washington Depot.
Mustich was involved in a serious rollover car crash about 9 p.m. on Aug. 10 on a rural road in the Nettleton Hollow area of town. He said he was suspended upside down in his Subaru hatchback and unable to call for help because there was no cell service.

If you are looking for online resources to save money, these are the top websites for printing grocery and drugstore coupons:

Coupons.com

Coupons.com is one of the most popular websites offering grocery coupons because of a large number of coupons available and the constant flow of new coupons. The company was founded in 1998 and is considered a pacesetter in the coupon arena. Visitors to Coupons.com will find that the site constantly adds new features and options for savings including an average of over 275 online printable coupons, digital coupons, as well as social, mobile and loyalty card promotions.

SmartSource.com

SmartSource.com is owned and operated by News America Marketing, the same company that distributes the SmartSource Magazine coupons insert found in the Sunday newspaper. SmartSource iGroup, established in 2000, is responsible for the running of Smartsource.com.

Couponers will find some of the same coupons online that are listed in the Sunday coupon inserts, however, SmartSource.com does offer additional coupons that are not included in the inserts.

RedPlum.com

RedPlum.com is the online version of the RedPlum Coupon Book that you find in your newspaper or through direct-mail. The online printable coupons are often the same coupons that are in the RedPlum Coupon Book. The value of the coupons is usually the same as what is found on Coupons.com and SmartSource.

As with all websites offering printable coupons, there is a preset limit of how many times a coupon can be printed. When the limit is reached, the coupon is then removed from the website. It seems in the case of RedPlum.com, the limits are smaller than its competitors because the coupons seem to be removed faster. Couponers will want to check for new coupons on Sunday mornings in order to get the best selection.

Finding Printable Coupons on Manufacturers' Websites

Several manufacturers now offer coupons on the company websites or have created consumer-friendly websites that feature articles, product information, buyer's clubs, printable coupons and other promotional information.

Couponers can find links to the websites by doing Internet searches of the company name or checking product packaging for a website address or visit our list of printable grocery coupons found on websites and avoid a lot of online legwork.

To help you locate supermarket websites, visit the National Grocery Store Website page which has links to the websites of many of the grocery stores nationwide.

Target Coupons: Print manufacturer and Target specific grocery and drugstore coupons. Remember to take advantage of Target's coupon acceptance policy of combining manufacturer's coupons with Target coupons. You can learn more about Target's Coupon Policy here.

Finding Coupons on Social Media Sites

There is a growing trend for companies to offer coupons and free product samples through social media sites like Facebook.To get access to most Facebook coupons you will need to "Like" the Facebook page that has the coupon that you want to print.You may also be asked to permit an "app" to load in order to print many of the Facebook coupons.

Once you print the coupons that you want you can always go into your privacy settings and delete the app. You can also "Unlike" any Facebook page from your list.

Visit the Facebook Grocery Coupon page to see a roundup of recently posted Facebook coupons.

Protecting Your Personal Email Account

When you begin turning to the Internet for coupons you will register your email at a lot of websites. Doing this increases your chances of getting spam. What many couponers do to avoid this problem is set up a new email account that is separate from their personal accounts. The article Avoid Junk Email When Applying for Special Offers Online has tips and solutions that can help you keep your personal email account uncluttered and free of spam.

Common Characteristics of Websites Offering Printable Coupons

Printing Software:

Visitors wanting to print coupons from the websites will be required to use the individual websites' software printing programs. The software is designed to help control the number of coupons that are printed.

Instructions for downloading the software programs can be found on each website. It is a simple process and well explained. You will only need to download the programs the first time that you print coupons from each site unless you get a new computer or have major repairs on your existing computer. After the initial download, the coupons that you select will automatically print during future visits.

Printing coupons can be expensive. The article, 10 Ways to Cut the Cost of Printing Coupons offers helpful tips that will keep the cost of printing coupons down.

The Early Bird Gets the Worm:

Coupons posted on the websites are available until they reach a predetermined printing limit or the removal date. This allows manufacturers to control the cost of the promotions.

Printing limits are sometimes exhausted on good coupons on the first day that they are posted. We recommend visiting the websites regularly so that you don't miss out on a great coupon. Also, batches of new coupons are uploaded at the first of each month.

2000 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
great car with some flaws
By Desmo on
Vehicle2000 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe
ReviewI have to say this car is a very good
deal for the money. The car is fun to
drive and it is easy on gas when at
highway speeds. The handling is world
class. First and second gear
acceleration is very good. This car
will break the rubber loose when
floored while rolling at speed. I have
had problems with the gas guage that
has yet to be fixed. The power window
motor on the pass side has gone out 2x.
Also, the remote has gone out 2x. The
steering lock has malfunctioned after
it was replaced on a recall. The
transmission pops out of reverse often.
I still love the car.
Best FeaturesHUD is great. Competitive driving mode is nice. It will let you play but keeps you out of trouble. Handling and ride quality.
Worst FeaturesBetter gear box. Fix the electronic bugs. More power or better rear gear ratios would help 3rd gear and higher acceleration. Offer a 3.90 rear end.

AbstractThe killing of a cow Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) by two Wolves (Canis lupus) in 5 minutes during summer on Ellesmere Island is described. After two of the four feedings observed, one Wolf cached a leg and regurgitated food as far as 2.3 km away and probably farther. The implications of this behavior for deriving food-consumption estimates are discussed.

Timberwolves center Ronny Turiaf is out indefinitely after suffering a right knee bone bruise in Wednesday's 104-91 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Meanwhile, center Nikola Pekovic (ankle) was able to do some drills Thursday and the team listed him as "day-to-day."
"He did some work on his own (Thursday) morning," Adelman said. "And we did some five-on-none and some drill work and will see how he feels (Friday)."
Without Turiaf and possiby Pekovic for an upcoming five-game road trip, Adelman said Kevin Love might have to play center in addition to Gorgui Dieng and Dante Cunningham.
"You're hoping that maybe Pek comes back a little bit quicker than they've talked about," Adelman said. "We'll see."

Murder or Suicide?
A report on a death in Delhi police custody
Parmeshwar Dayal was allegedly abducted by his former employer on the day when he was about to inaugurate his jewellery dye manufacturing unit. His former employer had warned him against doing so. But he persisted. He was merely 28 and wanted to make big in business. He was abducted on 26 Feb., 2004
The family lodged an FIR against the suspects, his former employers who were directly effected by his new venture in the same line of business. The FIR was lodged at Keshavpuram Police station of north West District. The investigation were carried out by the police post Shanti Nagar under the police station Keshavpuram.
Parmeshwar Dayal was brought back to Delhi by the police in the night of 14-15 by Jehlum Express. According to police his cousin accompanied him.
The cousin is let go in the night. Parmeshwar dayal is kept at the police post which is situated at a residential area with a staff of around a dozen people. According to police his family were informed but did neither turn up to take him at the railway nor came to the police post.
Parmeshwar dayal was stayed put in the police post for the night.
In morning at 10:30 the young man was dead. According to police he committed
suicide by electrocuting himself in the toilet.
He further added that we had registered the case against the suspects
under section 365 and now since we find that he had gone at his own we
shall see what we shall do about it
Version of Manglesh Kashyap ACP
Third and the most important.
The toilet that adjoins has no electric wiring whatsoever. In fact there
is no sign of socket, holder or anything. There is no loose wire.
Given this fact the police version that the Parmeshwar committed suicide by putting his hand in the socket is a blatant lie and a cover up of highest degree.
Furthermore it is a well-known fact that the electricity that is supplied to the residential area is AC ( Alternating current). It is not the DC (Direct Current.) So, even if someone touches a live point the most that could happen to him is that he will be thrown back.
Did Parmeshwar go inside the toilet with the intention of killing himself and forgot to bolt the door?
Since there is no wiring or electric point inside the toilet then should we believe that he pulled the wire from outside, electrocuted himself and died without making a sound despite the fact that toilet overlooks the main entrance, police in-charge's room, the ten by fifteen courtyard, and two adjoining rooms. The distance between the reception, police post's in-charge's room and the toilet is hardly twenty feet.

The new Interstate 35W bridge could be completed by mid-September — three months ahead of schedule — and its builders could get an extra $20 million for their work.
State transportation officials Sunday said they weren't sure about the early completion date, but they agreed the bridge would be completed before the Dec. 24 deadline.
"I'm sure we'll be done before that," said Kevin Gutknecht, spokesman of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. "We're anxious to get this completed."
But building projects can unexpectedly have snags, he said. "There is still a great deal of work to be done. There are a lot of complex things that go into building the bridge. Our priorities on this bridge are to build it safely and to build a quality product."
On Saturday, managers of Flatiron Constructors said during a weekly public tour of the construction site that the bridge is 65 percent complete, and the builders expected to hang concrete segments over the river as early as May 14 or 15, the Star Tribune reported on Sunday.
The $234 million construction contract for the project includes an extra $200,000-a-day incentive in federal funds for Flatiron if the bridge is finished ahead of schedule.
The company can pocket that incentive for up to 100 days.
Peter Sanderson, project manager for Flatiron, has said the company was "completely confident in making the deadline." Flatiron officials did not return phone calls Sunday.
The old I-35W bridge fell into the Mississippi River on Aug. 1, killing 13 people.
Flatiron of Colorado won the contract last September as part of a joint venture with Manson Construction of Seattle and the Florida firms of Johnson Bros. and Figg Engineering.
Their proposal beat out three other bidders for the project even though Flatiron's bid was $57 million more than the lowest bid and was estimated to take longer to build.
But MnDOT ultimately picked Flatiron because of the strength of its proposal.
The contract sparked protests by two of the unsuccessful bidders and a lawsuit. The $200,000-a-day incentive was offered to all of the bidders as part of the project.
Safety is the priority of the contract — not a quick completion, said Brian McClung, spokesman for Gov. Tim Pawlenty. MnDOT told the governor's office that construction is progressing, but "there are many variables that could impact the completion date."
Minnesotans have really stepped up to deal with the lack of an I-35W connection over the Mississippi River, said House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, a Democrat from Minneapolis. But she said the lack of a bridge has caused delays in people's daily lives.
A study completed by MnDOT estimated that not having the bridge operable costs its users $400,000 a day in gas prices, delayed travel time and other factors.
"There are huge issues with the amount of delay," Kelliher said.
If the bridge is completed 100 days before schedule, the final product would be nearly done in time for the Republican National Convention, which runs Sept. 1-4 in the Twin Cities.
However, McClung said the governor's office "has not asked or directed MnDOT or the contractors to complete the bridge project by any specific date."

In addition to being a camera assistant,
I also own much of my own equipment
and a few years ago I had to make a decision
about powering this gear. I really
wasn't that impressed with the batteries
I'd been using, so I started looking for
alternatives. After some research, I discovered
the BlockBattery company and
explored their products and discussed my
needs with them.
They explained how the differences
in their battery design improved performance,
particularly with the higher power
requirements of today's digital cinema
cameras. Block meets these requirements
by producing higher capacity batteries
and faster charging systems. I was convinced
and decided to try some of Block's
products and I'm certainly happy that I
Now I rely on Block batteries for every
job. While these are available in a number
of variations with different output connector
configurations, I'm able to meet my
needs primarily with their S800 (an 800
Watt-hour block) and/or their S400 (a 400
Watt-hour block). While the S800 seemed
a little heavy at first, it runs my camera all
day and that really puts things into the
proper perspective. Now on a day's shoot
I generally don't even look at the power
used until after lunch. I feel much more secure
with two of Block's S800 units than
with four of the batteries I'd been using
One thing that's easily overlooked
when you're putting together an equipment
list is the additional power that's
needed when adding accessories to your
camera rig. However, no matter how many
monitors or other accessories we put on
the ALEXA, the BlockBattery powers them
just fine.
I've found that Block's S400 is a great
battery also. It packs a lot of power in a
small package which is great when I'd doing
"run and gun" projects, or for shorter
production days. The S400 handles the
high loads just as well as the S800, but of
course at half the runtime, which makes
perfect sense, because that's what it is—
half the size of its big brother.
The worst nightmare for a camera assistant
is losing power. After more than
three years of using Block batteries, I can
truthfully say that they give me a sense of
security each and every production day.
I'm glad I discovered Block Battery.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Freshman guard Meighan Simmons scored 14 points and No. 9 Tennessee cruised past Old Dominion 74-44 on Sunday.
The Lady Vols (8-1) closed the last 12 minutes of the first half on a 30-14 run, fueled by a full-court press that forced a spate of first-half turnovers, and led 40-22 at the break.
The Lady Monarchs (3-3), who opened the season with a 65-63 win at Georgia Tech and beat Louisville 69-65 on Nov. 26, shot 32 percent and were outrebounded 41-33.
Old Dominion, which went almost 3 minutes without a basket during Tennessee's first-half run, opened the second half with more energy but not much more luck scoring. With 13:39 to play, the Lady Monarchs, who were 4 of 21 on 3-pointers, were shooting just 31.6 percent.

Survey Technician
Gather accurate measurements of land, water and airspace for development.
What does a Survey Technician do?
Before a piece of land can be sold for development, its exact size and dimensions need to be known. Survey Technicians are the ones who do the measuring. A Survey Technician determines where the land-or water or airspace, as the case may be-begins and ends. Aside from designating boundaries, Survey Technicians also make a note of the landscape features.
The work you do in this position has a lot of uses. With the information you gather, Realtors and Real Estate Agents can define pieces of property for sale, Lawyers are able to argue cases in court, and construction companies can decide where to build bridges.
In addition to these traditional uses, the boundaries you draw are used to establish airspace over an airport, find the proper location to build a sewer system, or pick the right spot to drill an offshore oil well. You also help create maps and property lines that determine who the owner of a piece of land is and what can happen on it.
In this position, you act as the helper on a job site. When you and a Surveyor go to a site to measure a piece of land, you're the one who carries the equipment and takes notes. You enter the information you find into specialized computer programs, and keep track of the facts.
You might also move plants that are getting in the way of the work, make drawings of the site, or move the equipment as needed. You may not be top dog, but there's room for advancement. This is often a job that people use as a stepping stone to a managerial role.

Of the 100 companies listed on the 2012 Working Mother Best Companies List (released Tuesday), eight are led by members of the FORBES list of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World.
Just eight.
AOL-HuffPo (Arianna Huffington, Editor in Chief)
Cisco (Padmasree Warrior, CTO, CSO)
E&Y (Beth Brooke, Global Vice Chair)
HP (Meg Whitman, CEO)
IBM (Ginni Rometty, CEO)
JP MorganChase (Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO, Asset Management)
Kraft (Irene Rosenfeld, CEO)
Pearson UK (Marjorie Scardino, CEO)
Put another way, just eight of the FORBES 100 Most Powerful Women in the World lead companies on the 27th annual Working Mother Best Companies list. But no matter the direction, this number floored me. Given the recurring themes in women's business coverage on the correlation between women in leadership and the advancement of women throughout the ranks, in looking at the Working Mother list I expected to see Power Women in force.
According to WM editors though, my assumption was wrong. "While it's not a clear indicator that a woman at the top translates to work life balance in a company," says Working Mother editorial director Jennifer Owens. "It's not as if a woman enters the C-suite and all of a sudden working mothers experience more flexibility and resources."
Instead, she says the companies on the annual list are those whose leaders—men or women—who place emphasis on new workflows and technology that encourage both telecommuting and flexible scheduling for its employees, in addition to providing access to mentoring. Female executives, unfortunately, are not an indicator of any of those things.
Of course, there's another element at play: Working Mother's list is based on a rigorous application process, meaning companies must nominate themselves to be considered. According to the official methodology, the application includes "more than 500 questions on workforce representation, child care, flexibility programs, leave policies." Owens noted that this year the editors gave particular weight to child care, flexible scheduling options and women's advancement, i.e. sponsorship, programs. It could be that, of the more than 50 executives on the Power Women list, only a handful filled out the paperwork. (In contrast, at FORBES we sniff out Power Women on our own).
"It's sad, but the main thing that bumps companies to the top of our list is paid maternity leave, which is so far from the norm in corporate America," says Owens. "And while female leaders have been shown to increase the interest in work-life balance, it's not enough for one woman to be sitting in the right office." I push her here, asking whether a female CEO might be more understanding of the demands placed upon her female work force and so, allocate more resources towards their retention and overall happiness.
Here Owens seems to reconsider. "It's true that if you have CEO that is saying these words out loud—that your life is important and we want you to have flexibility and to put it to use—it absolutely does resonate through the company." She pauses. "But that person could just as easily be a man."

Our Philosophy
What is Jiu Jitsu
I heard Relson Gracie once explain what he thought Jiu Jitsu was: "You do this and I do that, or you do that and I do this, and it goes on for forever."
That emcopasses the foundation of how Jiu Jitsu is built on Efficiency. You yield to an opponent's force instead of trying to oppose force with force. You learn to take what someone gives you and use it against them.
Jiu Jitsu goes far beyond the attacks, the throws, the strikes; as you begin to learn it and understand it, you learn about yourself and your weaknesses and these things also apply to your daily life and you become a stronger person off the mat as well as on the mat. This is what is called the "Jiu Jitsu Lifestyle".
Jiu Jitsu is an amazing! It can be practiced by anyone. You can do it your whole life. It emcompasses mind, body, and spirit. It is unlke anything you will ever do. And the more you practice it the more you begin to experience the "Jiu Jitsu Lifestyle" and all the benefits that it can bring.
Our School
The atmosphere here is fun and challenging. We train hard, but we always have a good time doing it. It a collective learning experience where each person on the mat aids in the school as a whole learning and moving forward. We all know the importance of being a good, positive training partner. The school is cleaned and disinfected daily, so you always have a clean environment to train in.
Adult Classes
For the adults there is a Fundamentals Class and an Advanced Class. The Fundamentals Class is run off of a curriculum of 40 classes. Every Monday and Tuesday we do a class, the move to the next one on Wednesday and Thursday. So it takes 20 weeks to go through the curriculum one time. It is set up so you can come in at anytime and begin learning. We move through the positions: mount, back mount, side control, stand up, guard top and bottom, and knee on stomach. We teach escapes, control, submissions, transitions, and strategy from each of these positions. The Fundamentals Class is a technique class and one that should not be taken lightly. While it is only technique, we cover a lot of detail. We also make sure to teach these as self-defense, as if you are in a fight vs. sport Jiu Jitsu where you are trying to score points. There is a big difference!
The Advanced Class then expands from the Fundamentals Class curriculum. We normally work through a technique consisting of 2-3 variations. We drill the technque, we positional spar followed by open training. You can normally plan on getting a combination of 45 minutes of instruction and positional sparring and then 45 minutes of open training.
It is important as you progress to have a good mixture of technique and sparring. Learning is a 2-part process. First you learn a technique and drill it, then you have to learn how to apply against someone who is not cooperating with you. This is where the fun really begins!
Kids Classes
With our kids it is always about positive reinforcement, pushing them up to achieve their potential. We build them up to be stronger, humble, and more confident. Each one goes through challenges every day. Some of these challenges they overcome in that class, some take weeks or even months to master. But each success makes them one step stronger as a person.
The Kids Classes are divided into 2 age groups to better be able to teach them. We have a class for ages 5-8 and for ages 9-14. While we teach Jiu Jitsu in both of these, the method of teaching varies quite a bit. We welcome new children to come in and try our classes for free so that the child and the parents can be sure Stockman Jiu Jitsu is a good fit.

2017 Legislative Session Summary
Transportation Bill, Bonding Bill Finally Passed!
After years of advocating and campaigninig for a long-term,comprehensive transportation funding bill, we finally have a bill passed that makes progress in addressing the $600M per year shortfall for roads and bridges in the state.
The Capital Bonding bill contains more money for transportation than we have seen previously. After many years of lobbying to have consistent funding at higher levels for the Local Road Improvement Program and Local Bridge program, this year's bill provides almost $116 million for LRIP and $49 million for local bridges. The transportation bill contains another $25 million for local bridges for a total of $74 million for local bridges. The bonding bill also provides funding for two transitways.
Although it took an extra four-day special session to get their work done, legislators were able to work with the governor to pass a two-year budget and avoid a government shutdown. For transportation, we don't have to worry about a special session occurring in June or July – they are done until February 20, 2018

2016 Election Analysis of Transportation Policy and Funding Initiatives
2016 Election Overview
The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces.
What hasn't changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation's and the state's investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday's election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota's legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation.

The lights are on
We've had the opportunity to play Flying Wild Hogs' Shadow Warrior a couple of times now, and it definitely stands out in a sea of first-person shooters. A large part of that is because the game is most fun when you aren't using the guns. Lo Wang's katana isn't some crowbar to be used as a last resort, after all.
With button combos, magic powers, and an engine that supports all manner of dismemberment (all with sharp controls), Shadow Warrior blends the hectic nature of old-school shooters with contemporary sensibilities. You can read more about the title in our preview, and check it out for yourself when it is released on PC on September 26, 2013.
This game looks so great, too bad GTA has cleaned my wallet out for the moment.
Oh my god, this looks fun! I didn't get the opportunity to play OG Shadow Warrior, but I played the iPhone port and it was a lot of fun. I hope this comes out for consoles too!
What if I want...GUNSWAHRDZ?!!!!!
I was always disappointed that the Hayabusa armor in Halo 3 didn't let you use the katana on your back. This should rectify that.
Looks incredible! Definitely First-Person Slasher.

We're just over a week into 2017, and it's time to talk about goals, plans, and resolutions: thus, 5 things to do in 2017 to build an an empowered community.
Let's start with the obvious question: what is an empowered community?
An Empowered Community
An empowered community is a community where every individual feels able and encouraged to contribute to the betterment, growth and strengthening of a community in which they feel ownership and, most importantly, belonging.
1. Coalition Building
Coalition building is one path to community empowerment. Bringing together individuals and leaders who represent a broad range of stakeholders and community sectors and seeking to find common ground on a particular topic or issue. Tom Wolff writes about community empowerment through coalition building:
Health and Human Service Coalitions aim to improve the community's quality of life by: developing the community's local planning capacity, increasing collaborative problem solving, promoting greater cooperation, developing an advocacy capacity of the community, and increasing information access.
How to do it?: look for opportunities to join active coalition building efforts; this might be community meetings that happen on a regular basis, activity specific groups like Juvenile Justice Advisory Councils, DWI and community meetings against substance use and abuse, League of Women voter meetings, Multi-disciplinary team meetings, or regional or state summits on topics that are of interest to you, your business, or your organization. Generally speaking, seek out and encourage opportunities for working together to identify and implement action, encouraging networking and connections between communities and organizations.
2. Community Skills and Knowledge Overview
3. Seek Equality in your community
How to do it?: By working in ways which recognise that discrimination exists, promote equity of
4. Build Participation as a cultural value
How to do it?:
Find ways to say thank you to other members of your community for what they do. Even if what they do is not directly in aid of your organization, your business, or you. A hand written thank you card never goes astray, especially if it means you quietly making another aware that they are noticed, and appreciated. A letter to the editor in a local newspaper, or nominations for local, state or national awards or acknowledgements are other ways to demonstrate appreciation. This is great for the whole community when one is acknowledged for their participation and contribution.
As Mary Reding Smith, co-founder of Military Spouse J.D. Network says, "Take people with you" – when you are meeting with a representative (whether legislative, community, or business), take a young person, an employee, a mentee, or a friend interested in community empowerment with you. Share the opportunities to build experience speaking truth and helping to build strong, vibrant, supportive communities.
Invite people to join you. Ask for help; ask for their help (and take time to notice what people are good at).
5. Be an advocate for Social Justice
A final word
Contributing to the growth and strength of an empowered community doesn't happen overnight, nor is it the work of one individual, business, community organization, or entity. It is a rather abstract, nebulous even, concept. The fruit, as they say, bears witness to the existence and power of an empowered community.

Zale largera is known from only one location in the state in Clinton County. Although intensive inventory efforts to document new locations are lacking, its range is likely very limited in New York considering there is only one known occurrences and because the food plant, jack pine, also has a limited distribution within the state.
More sampling is needed to determine the short-term trends which are currently unknown. A total of two adult moths were captured at black-lights on successive nights in May of 1995 and none have been recorded since at the single known location.
The long-term trends are unknown. The one known statewide location was first documented in 1995.

David Deangelo
I have been following and buying David Deangelo products since about 2001. Products I have bought are (let's see how good my memory is) :
Double Your Dating
Interviews With Dating Gurus
Cocky Comedy & Other Conversation Skills
Advanced Dating Techniques
Man Transformation Dvd Program
Body Language For Success With Women And Dating
Power Of Sexuality
On Being A Man
Mastery With Women And Dating
Approaching Women And Starting Conversations
77 Laws Of Success With Women And Dating
Deep Inner Game
Meeting Women Online
Become Mr. Right
Meeting Women In Bars And Clubs
Attraction Isn't A Choice
Now I have to say all this stuff cost me a pretty penny (well over $1000 even though I bought some of it used online). Still I think it is all valuable data and worth what I paid for it. The product I got the most from is his "Interviews with Dating Gurus". The bottom line, however, is that none of it increased my game to the extent that the simple $39.95 book "Dating To Relating – From A To Z" by Mr. L. Rx did.
But after having learned Mr. L. Rx's basics (which are superior to Deangelo's basics) I have to say that I still value and use Deangelo's materials. I find that once you get the correct basics down that all the Data Deangelo gives can be put in perspective and used correctly. That is what gives it value.
David Deangelo – Double Your Dating
Deanglo products probably did "double my dating", but Mr. L. Rx ten times it.
I will be doing more David DeAngelo product reviews in the future.

The Positive Learning Climates KnowledgeBase is an online resource to aid educators in nurturing school climates conducive to learning. It is organized around five elements aimed at developing a positive learning climate.
Purpose: In addition to addressing academic rigor, instructional strategies, teacher qualifications, and class size, the learning environment plays an equally important role in improving student academic achievement. The first step in creating a positive learning climate is understanding the laws addressing school safety. Element 1 offers basic information on the legal aspects of school safety.
Purpose: Assessing the school's learning climate involves looking at student behavior, school culture, physical environment, family and community involvement, and interactions with other government agencies. Element 2 outlines the tasks involved in creating a profile of the school's learning climate.
Guideline: Family and community involvement with local schools has been demonstrated to be an essential element of a successful school. Effective partnerships with supportive community organizations, government agencies, and local businesses can assist local educators in creating a school climate conducive to learning and helpful in the event of a violent situation.
Purpose: Addressing school climate is an important aspect of improving academic performance. Taking a comprehensive look at a school's climate addresses focus areas that merit attention and communicates intended methods and strategies to the staff members, students, and other relevant constituent groups. Element 3 outlines the tasks involved with creating a positive school climate.
Purpose: Improvement is achieved through the effective implementation of chosen strategies. To be successful, the principal should monitor the school's progress towards implementing the selected strategies. Element 4 outlines the steps for implementing the strategies aimed at improving a school's climate.

City champs look to conquer new challenges
Oct. 13, 2011 at 5:13 a.m.
Updated Oct. 14, 2011 at 5:14 a.m.
A pair of Victoria city champions are taking on tougher competition.
Claude Bridges and Mark Spivey teed it up alongside some big names at the PGA Southern Texas Section's Texas Senior Open at Victoria Country Club.
"They're serious," Bridges said. "They're not out here just having a fun day of golf like we normally have. Most of them are retired, but some of them are trying to make a living. It's different."
Bridges won the most recent city championship and Spivey, a local dentist, won consecutive city titles in 1992 and 1993.
Spivey is in 26th place with a 5-over score of 148. Bridges is tied at 48th with a 12-over 156.
Bridges' score was right at the projected cut.
Both local golfers competed in the same field as David Lundstrom and David Ogrin, who's PGA and Champions Tour earnings are in the millions, and five-time PGA Tour winner Danny Edwards.
Spivey enjoys playing the tournament on a course he's familiar with.
"It's an advantage for me," Spivey said. "It's just kind of tough when you're playing with a lot of guys who've been on the PGA Tour and who you've seen on TV before. It's kind of nerve-wracking."
The Victoria City Championships are played during the oppressively hot and humid month of July, but the weather still caused problems for the golfers even without the heat.
Golfers had to deal with a double-digit wind gust coming out of the north, which made the course play longer.
"It's (the course) set up for a South wind and it blew out of the North, and it really was tough for everybody," Spivey said.
Bridges acknowledged the wind was challenge, but it was his short game that cost him some strokes in the second roundy.
Bridges said he drove the ball well, but had issues putting. Bridges had four bogies.
"I hit the ball off the tee pretty good, but it doesn't matter if you don't putt," Bridges said.
Bridges shot identical scores of 78 the first two days of the tournament.
Spivey had his own issues on the greens, bogeying three times.
"I drove it really well today, I've just been struggling with the putting and I can't figure out why," Spivey said.
After shooting an opening round of 72, he added four more strokes to that score on Thursday.
Although he's 20 strokes off the lead after two days, the tournament is helping Bridges prepare for the VCC Club Championship, which is scheduled for Oct. 22-23.
"It helps get your mind set for the tournament," Bridges said. "It's different than coming here with your buddies and playing a friendly round of golf."
Rummells in the lead
After two days of the Texas Senior Open, David Rummells is in the lead with an 8-under 136.
Rummells doesn't have too much room for error because Mitch Adcock is only one stroke behind.
Ron Schroeder, Terry Snograss and Bob Niger are in a third place tie after shooting 4-under.
And then there were two
After the first couple of days of the Texas Senior Open, Bridges and Spivey are the only remaning local golfers in the tournament.
Greg Hughes was the only other local golfer playing on Thursday.
He was nine strokes from making the cut after shooting 21-over.
