DIY Bowling Game
As fall begins, many families are facing colder weather. This means we all need new ways to entertain the children inside on these cold or wet days. Art activities are fantastic, but sometimes it is fun to be able to get some gross motor movement in! An easy indoor activity is bowling! Using items you have on hand, you should be able to have a set quickly. A hallway works the best for the bowling lane so that there is confined area to roll the ball in. Make sure you get any items off the floor that would get in the way of the game!
Where to Begin:
The first step will be to find bottles to use as your pins. I often have empty water bottles in the recycling, so that is an easy way to start! Using water bottles also saves the step of having to clean out the sticky soda or juice from the bottle. A traditional bowling game has 11 pins, but that can be too many for a small child. Starting with 6 is a good way to introduce children to bowling. A ball also needs to be found to knock the pins down with. It needs to have a little weight behind it to knock the pins down.
The pins can be decorated or left as they are. A fun way to decorate them is to squirt a small amount of paint into the bottles, add a tablespoon or so of water and shake it together to coat the inside of the bottle. When it is coated, the excess paint can be poured out and the bottles need to dry overnight. An even more simple idea is to just wrap the outsides in a piece of scrapbook paper. This can also be an activity where each child gets to decorate pins themselves! Each pin doesn't need to match, so it can be fun!
We have found we like the pins to have some weight to them. This can be achieved by adding some rice or beans to the bottle. The amount will really depend on the skill set of children you are playing with. The great thing about the bottles is that you can empty out or add more filler as you play. They can be left empty as well. Water can also be used to add a little weight to the bottom. Also, the weight of the pins may have to change depending on the ball that is used. A lighter ball will need lighter pins to be able to knock the pins over.
No matter what size bottles you use, or how you decorate, this activity will be a lot of fun for children. It really is a fun game to play with toddlers! Smaller kids are really fascinated with cause and effect. And this game allows them to safely test out those actions without breaking anything! Just make sure to show your toddler how to roll underhand! This is also a great game to learn about taking turns.
Enjoy your bowling set!

As described in the Elco catalog from 1902, the first Elco electric launches "won the highest prizes at the World's Fair in Chicago, 1893. Since that time they have been improved either mechanically or structurally, always with the result that more comfort has been gained, for we have spared nothing to make our electric launches the most complete, pleasurable and luxurious craft of their size afloat. Boating in such vessels is a rare delight."
Those words were as true today as they were then.
Elco Motor Yachts is still building beautiful, hand-crafted electric launches in the tradition that we have been known for over 100 years. Our fantail launches built today echo those same lines of the 1893 boats with many original castings and handcrafted details not found in other electric boats. All boats are custom-fitted by our expert craftsmen. These are truly luxury motor yachts.
Fiberglass hull construction ensures your Elco boat is easy to own, easy to care for and always ready to go. The optional canopy adds to the charm and overall experience of these wonderful boats.
Each Elco Launch is equipped with an Elco electric drive system (motor, controller, electronics, throttle, display and drive connectors), plus maintenance-free batteries, on-board battery chargers, and an optional small generator set.
Electric Boat Motors
An Elco electric launch is the electric powered boat most admirably adapted for pleasure use. The electric boat motor is a simple but highly-advanced, noiseless machine directly connected to the propeller shaft. It is an elegant, clean, and quiet system designed to provide a boating experience unlike any other.
The Elco electric boat motor means an absence of odor, heat, smoke, and noise. Nothing to get in the way of enjoying your ride on this luxury motor yacht.
The Elco electric boat motor effectively addresses both environmental concerns and the rising cost of diesel and gasoline in great style. Choose from several sizes and style options to find the Elco Launch that's right for you:

Question & Answer
This document describes how to extend the default core dump facility on AIX with the chcore and syscorepath commands,
The default core dump facility on AIX requires minimal configuration, and by default will create a binary file named core in the current working directory for the process that has terminated abnormally. If a core file is successfully created, a CORE_DUMP entry will also be written into the error report. The chcore and syscorepath commands can be used to provide additional functionality, and fix problems that can sometimes occur with the default core dump facility.
Note: See the technote How to Diagnose Core Dump Failure for more information about problems that can occur when using the default core dump facility.
Both chcore and syscorepath allow you to install a directory where all core files will be written. The chcore command also allows you to enable core file compression, and unique core file naming, so that each core file written into the directory will have a unique file name. Both commands (if the chcore -n on option is used) will create unique core file names with the format core.pid.ddhhmmss, where pid is the process ID, dd is the day of the month, hh is the hour in 24-hour format, mm is minutes, and ss is seconds. For security reasons, the default core dump facility will not write a core file for an executable that has the suid or sgid permissions set, but syscorepath will allow core dumps from these types of binaries to be created. In general you should use the newer chcore command to extend the functionality of the default core dump facility, and use syscorepath only if you need the suid/sgid feature not available with chcore.
Core File Settings
There are only a few configurable core file settings. The most important of these is the fullcore setting. If enabled, fullcore will increase the size of each core file written on the system by including additional information such as shared memory segments that might be needed in order to find the cause of a problem, and additional data needed when debugging multi-threaded programs.
- To enable full core:
chdev -l sys0 -a fullcore=true - To disable full core:
chdev -l sys0 -a fullcore=false - To check the current setting for full core:
lsattr -l sys0 -a fullcore -E - To disable core file creation:
ulimit -c 0
Note: Core file creation in a particular user account can be disabled if the core ulimit is set to 0. A core ulimit greater than 0 determines the maximum size of the core file in bytes. System ulimits are set and viewed with the ulimit command, and in /etc/security/limits.
chcore and lscore Commands
The chcore command can be used to configure directories as core dump repositories, and the lscore command displays the current core file settings. Unlike the default core file facility, chcore allows you to have complete control over where core dump files will be written. With chcore you can set up a default directory that can be used as a core file repository for all accounts on the system, including root. However each user, again including root, can override the default directory and install a directory in their home directory as a core file repository for core files generated from processes owned by that account.
A central core file repository can be set up for all accounts on the system, but each account may override the default and install a custom repository. Select a file system with plenty of free space for this repository. All accounts will need read and write access to this directory. To prevent users from deleting core files created by other users, the sticky bit should be enabled. Permissions on this directory should normally be 1777, the same as for /tmp.
- To set up a system-wide core file repository with unique core file naming, run the following commands as root:
cd /path/to/filesystem
mkdir corefiles
chmod 1777 ./corefiles
chcore -p on -n on -l ./corefiles
Note: Add the option -c on to turn on core file compression. The settings will only be effective for newly logged in accounts and will persist across reboots. - To override the system-wide default repository and set up a repository for a specific user, run the following commands as the user:
mkdir ~/corefiles
chcore -p on -n on -l ~/corefiles - To list the system-wide default core file settings:
lscore -d - To list the core file settings for a specific user:
lscore user
syscorepath Command
The syscorepath command is less capable than chcore but has the ability to allow creation of core files for suid and sgid programs. This command will only configure a system-wide repository for core files; it does not have the capability to configure user specific repositories. Settings made with this command do not persist across reboots. This command can only be executed by root.
- To set up a system-wide core file repository with unique core file naming:
cd /path/to/filesystem
mkdir corefiles
chmod 1777 ./corefiles
syscorepath -p ./corefiles - To display the current respository:
syscorepath -g - To unset the directory used as the repository and revert back to the default behavior of writing core files in the current working directory for the process:
syscorepath -c
Man Pages (AIX 7.1)
core file format
The default core dump facility on AIX is very basic, and can occasionally cause problems when creating core files. The chcore and syscorepath commands can be used to gain more control over how and where core files are written to avoid these problems. The newer chcore command is preferred over the less capable syscorepath command, but syscorepath allows the creation of core dumps for suid and sgid executablesh, and may be used together with chcore.

Finally Floof-in-Training Friday
I did love my little friend Gus. We bonded over our shared love of yelling at everyone.Gus is a cheeky wee chappie, and we had lots of fun playing together. We liked to hang out on the stairs. I was helping him practice his stalking skills. Here, mum was the prey!He wasn't the greatest stalker, but he is a sucker for a smooch so he still reeled my mum in. Gus' gorgeous mama Dahlia has now had her ladygardenectomy and microchipping, and has been brought upto date on her vaccinations. She is patiently awaiting her Forever home, so if you know anyone in Sydney looking for a most wonderful friend, send 'em on over to the Cat Protection Society. Tell them Lishy sent you!

Voting time...
One of them will be for North Carolina- if you have any good North Carolina poll question ideas please send them our way.
The other is up for a vote with the finalists that didn't win from last week's poll vote. I'll just paste what we said about each of those states. One thing I should say that I didn't last week- voting 3 or 4 times on different computers is fine. We won't even know you did that. Creating proxies to cast hundreds of votes for a particular state, which I think might have happened with Ohio and Wisconsin last week, is not ok and if someone does that we'll just move on and poll whatever finished second. We like giving the folks who read our blog a voice in what we poll but it's disappointing when people try to really manipulate the vote.
Here are the choices:
-Arizona. This is one of the few states where Obama has any chance of winning one he lost in 2008, and this may be the best opportunity Democrats have for picking up a Senate seat other than Nevada and Massachusetts.
-Florida. We've already polled on Bill Nelson several times looking toward 2012- his approvals aren't great but it's partially because Democrats don't love him that much. He actually has higher than usual appeal to Republicans and independents and as a result has done decently well against the hypothetical opponents we've tested. No harm in taking another look at his prospects though and a first look at how Obama does against named Republicans in the state.
-Nebraska. We already have a pretty good idea that Ben Nelson is in deep, deep trouble but no hurt in getting another set of eyes on it. We can also look at Obama's prospects for winning Omaha again. I'll give up Omaha for Obama if I can have it for UNC's baseball team but I guess it doesn't work that way.
-New Jersey. Tons of polling now makes it clear that Robert Menendez isn't very popular. The question is whether that's 'we don't like you but we'll vote for you over a Republican anyway' unpopularity or if it's 'we don't like you and we're going to put you out of office' unpopularity. Time to put some names up against him.
-Pennsylvania. Potentially close Senate race that we know little about at this point and still one of the biggest Presidential states for sure.
-Texas. A couple questions to ponder here- 1) is this competitive as as an open seat and 2) just how susceptible is Kay Bailey Hutchison to a Tea Party challenge. One thing I'm pretty confident about is Hutchison being invincible in a general election.

For NC:
How about a question to gauge reactions to the instant runoff system used for the one non-partisan, statewide judicial vacancy? - December 13, 2010 at 4:56 PM
- Unknown said...
So if I create a proxy and vote in the hundreds for all the states ahead of the one I want, my state will win?
- December 13, 2010 at 5:05 PM
- Tom Jensen said...
No we'll just decide what to poll on our own and stop soliciting input.
- December 13, 2010 at 7:15 PM
For NC, if ya'll are doing the gov race again, it might be good to look at a Cooper vs McCrory matchup if Perdue bails like Ritter and Blanco.
- December 13, 2010 at 7:41 PM
- wt said...
I voted New Jersey. Would love to get a feeling on how vulnerable Menendez is.
I could see Kean Jr. coming back for another round, or someone like Anna Little challenging him.
Given the fact that we know NJ will elect a Republican over a deeply unpopular Democrat in Christie vs. Corzine, it's possible they'll do the same thing in 2012. - December 13, 2010 at 8:56 PM
North Carolina: Might be interesting to gauge interest in off-shore oil drilling months after the BP Spill. NC has kind of been the bellweather on that issue. Also, are Democrats mad at Bev Perdue or Democrats in general? If the former, Democrats might want to consider Primarying her.
Texas: The Two Tea Party candidates head-to-head with Williams and Medina would be interesting. Wondering if a moderate could come and steal the show. - December 13, 2010 at 9:00 PM
What about for NC, 10 years ago were you a Democrat, Republican, or Independent? And get a breakdown by region?
Is it true that those in Shuler's district are voting more and more Republican? - December 13, 2010 at 9:50 PM
Please poll ND and NE Senate Race
two of reddest states - December 13, 2010 at 10:45 PM
For NC how about polling Roy Cooper's fav/unfavs and testing him in head to heads for NC-Gov 2012. As for miscellanea, favorite NC acc basketball team: UNC, Duke, State, Wake.
- December 13, 2010 at 10:56 PM
Kay Bailey Hutchison not rightwing enough for teaparty.
- December 13, 2010 at 10:57 PM
Who would you put up against KBH in Texas? There are only 10,000 Republicans waiting for a chance at the Senate.
- December 13, 2010 at 11:46 PM
- Red Nats said...
I'm not sure how would you do this, but considering Ehteridge getting tossed out and the easy re-election of Richard Burr, North Carolina might be an interesting state to measure the effect of the "enthusiasm gap" in this past midterm.
- December 14, 2010 at 12:00 AM
NJ, I think Kim Guadagno for Senate against Menendez would be an interesting matchup with Menendez. I know you are going to put Christie in. Also check a Booker v. Menendez primary.
- December 14, 2010 at 1:54 AM
- Dustin Ingalls said...
"Also, are Democrats mad at Bev Perdue or Democrats in general?"
They're still behind Obama.
"I'm not sure how would you do this, but considering Ehteridge getting tossed out and the easy re-election of Richard Burr, North Carolina might be an interesting state to measure the effect of the "enthusiasm gap" in this past midterm."
We've already done that just by showing how much better Democrats are doing in a wider electorate in which Democrats show up.
"Also check a Booker v. Menendez primary."
I think Booker's waiting to beat Christie. - December 14, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Dustin, Tom, are there actually West Virginia numbers on Capito v Manchin? Tom mentioned them the week after the election, but we have yet to see them.

Man Arrested for Dressing As the Joker Says He's Not a 'Lunatic'
The Joker's on him.
Jeremy Putnam, 31, appeared in a Winchester, Va. court on Monday to explain exactly why he thought it'd be a good idea to wear makeup like the Joker.
Police arrested Putnam last month for the odd fashion statement -- which also featured him sporting a cape and a sword -- after several people called 911 to report spotting the comic book character.
Putnam, who was prohibited from wearing any kind of face paint, told the court he meant no harm. "I thought why just be a fan when I can be the actual person," he said. "But not like a lunatic like he is. But more of a funny type."
Putnam, who has several tattoos in honor of the Joker, also told Fox 5, "I'm a very big fan of Batman, and the Joker is like one of the big deals of all. Everyone likes the Joker."
Sure, keep thinking that, pal. And while you do, let's just remind you that clowns in general are ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, SO STOP IT!
The only saving grace here is that at least he didn't get dressed as Pennywise from It.
Lest you think scaring the holy heck out of people is the crime here, think again. Authorities charged Putnam with wearing a mask in public, which is a no-no because it prevents people from seeing your face. And we're starting to think this nut may have a face only a mother could love.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all those killed or injured in the Las Vegas shooting, and in a nation where so many anti-Americans are kneeling in pampered protest, this mass shooting saw veterans and police officers standing up, helping the victims and heading straight for the shooter to take him out. Real Americans don't kneel, they stand and get to work to save lives. Today I offer tremendous gratitude to all the first responders who helped save lives and stop the violence.
Although the news reporting on this shooting is still in its early stages, there are five strange things that just don't add up about this massacre (so far). I run through them below.
Although law enforcement says there was only one shooter, multiple witnesses are openly reporting the presence of multiple shooters. This could reasonably be the result of confusion and chaos, but it's also highly suspicious that the shooter had "full auto" weapon which is usually limited to law enforcement or military personnel.
This question about multiple shooters was also raised after the Aurora, Colorado "Batman movie theater" shooting, in which numerous witnesses reported the presence of multiple shooters.
If this shooting was carried out by multiple shooters, it would obviously indicate planning and coordination among a group of people who sought to carry out the shooting for a political purpose of some kind.
Via the UK Express:
One woman, who was at the Route 91 music event, claimed an unidentified woman had told other concert-goers they were "all going to die" after pushing her way to the front of the venue.
The witness, 21, told local news: "She had been messing with a lady in front of her and telling her she was going to die, that we were all going to die.
"They escorted her out to make her stop messing around with all the other people, but none of us knew it was going to be serious."
She described the lady as Hispanic. The lady was escorted from the venue along with a man.
The unnamed witness, who was attending the event on her 21st birthday, described the pair as short, both around 5 ft 5ins to 5ft 6ins tall, and looked like "everyday people".
It's clear that neither of these two people were the shooter, as the shooter is a much taller Caucasian man. Thus, this is not a "lone gunman" massacre. There was coordination. At least three people were aware this shooting was about to take place.
The multitude of videos that captured the event clearly indicate that at least one shooter was running a full auto weapons system. Such weapons are almost impossible for "civilians" to acquire. Although some pre-1986 full auto weapons are available for sale, they require extensive ATF documentation, background checks and extremely long wait periods approaching one year. Plus, they tend to cost $25,000 or more, and they're extremely rare.
Full auto weapons, however, are widely owned by police officers, federal officials and military organizations. It will be very interesting to find out where this weapon came from and how it was acquired.
Numerous reports from witnesses who were on the scene reveal that nearly all the exits were blocked. One witness described the situation as "being caught like a rat in a maze" with numerous "dead ends."
Why were nearly all the exits blocked? In essence, the concert created a kill zone that amplified the casualties. So far, according to the Clark County Sheriff in Vegas, 515 people have been injured and 59 people have so far died. These are unthinkable numbers, approaching war-time casualty counts. It's clear from the coverage that this shockingly high body count would not have been possible if people had been free to flee the concert venue.
In essence, the concert trapped the people, preventing them from escaping, and denying them the ability to seek cover. From there, sustained, full-auto gunfire is almost impossible to survive.
From Fox News, a caller named Russell Bleck, who survived the shooting, said live on air, "There were ten-foot walls blocking us in. We couldn't escape. It was just a massacre. We had nowhere to go."
In addition, once the shooting started, the stage lights were turned to the crowd, lighting up the crowd and making them an easier target for the shooter(s). Was this deliberate?
According to news reports, the shooter — identified as Stephen Paddock — had as many as 10 firearms in his room, including several rifles. If he was the only shooter, what's the point of having so many rifles? One man can obviously only shoot one rifle, and since he had a full auto rifle, he could obviously achieve his evil aims by focusing on his one rifle. There was no need for him to have multiple rifles.
So were the other rifles brought to the room to "stage" the crime scene with an abundance of guns? Why would one elderly man bother to carry 8 – 10 weapons to a hotel room in the first place? That's a lot of work. Rifles aren't lightweight devices.
I find the idea that a lone, elderly man would carry so many rifles to a hotel room for no practical reason to be highly suspicious. It makes no sense at all.
UPDATE: See the new article Five MORE things that still don't add up about the Las Vegas shooting.
Via Reuters:
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
"The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition," the group's news agency Amaq said in reference to the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.
"The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago," Amaq added. (Reporting by Ali Abdelaty; Writing by Arwa Gaballa; Editing by Ahmed Aboulenein)

It's around 2005 that I discovered this new sound whose name (or names, as the case may be) I was still unaware of and which blew me away.
Slowly, I started researching, digging virtual crates and it took me a good year before I felt confident enough to try my hand at mixing the tenors of the genre.
As it happened, it was the first mix I recorded with my newly acquired Torq Xponent and the mix that made me decide I was doing away with the restriction imposed by the 75 minutes time limitation of the CD, which itself replaced the good old cassette tape, cutting out yet another 15 minutes from what used to be a good DJ mix.
From that point on, I have not recorded a mix shorter than 1h45 minutes, and all three Cosmix iterations are close to 2 hours and 30 minutes.
As usual, you can stream or download it here and your donations are welcome to help me pay for the file hosting!
Bon voyage!

It began with Henry Ford's revolutionary concept of the assembly line to mass produce cars and has evolved into a passion for driving. Not only do we love driving cars, we also love watching them driven - both in a sporting avenue and on screen. Television has grown to be an intricate part of our lives at the same time as cars have defined our economy and interests. It was therefore natural that the two saw their paths intersect, with cars playing key entertainment roles in television and movies. This site features five of the classic television cars that have had a substantial impact on our culture.
These are certainly not the only cars that have been featured on television shows or in movies. There have been numerous other muscle cars, luxury cars, jalopies and super sports cars with notable television roles. Some of these other cars include the Get Smart Tiger Sunbeam, Pontiac Firebird Esprit from the Rockford Files, the Batmobile, Green Hornet Chrysler Imperial, Mercury Parklane and Mercury Marquis from Hawaii five-O, Ferrari 365/GTB/4 Daytona Spyder from Miami Vice, Nash Bridge's Plymouth Barracuda, Dodge Viper crime fighting car from the series Viper, Munsters' Koach, the Mannix Oldsmobile Tornado, Dodge Stealth from Bandit, Flinstone's Flintmobile and the Beverly Hillbillies' Jalopy.
