U.S. Bobsledder Hopes 4th Olympics Is a Charm
By Amy Shipley
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 19, 1997; Page B5
Yet he is back for his fourth Winter Games this February in Nagano, accompanied by his usual gold medal hopes. This time, however, Shimer, 35, intends to take home something more satisfying than embarrassment.
In three Olympics, he has never won a medal. Shimer and former NFL star Herschel Walker attracted plenty of attention as a two-man team in 1992, but they finished seventh, a result that left Shimer furious. In his first Olympics in 1988, Shimer's four-man team finished two-hundredths of a second out of medal contention.
And in the past Olympic Games in 1994, Shimer's four-man team was disqualified because the runners on their sled were too warm, exceeding the allowable temperature by .9 degrees Celsius. (A sled will go faster on too-warm runners.) Their sled was the only one ever banished from Olympic competition for such a violation.
"I was in a state of shock," Shimer said in Salt Lake City recently. "I remember walking down the track and not believing this is the Olympic Games and I've been disqualified. From that moment on, I don't remember much."
Much of what Shimer does remember, he would sooner ignore. Besides the four-man calamity, he also finished 13th in the two-man competition in the '94 Games.
"It's just something I want to put behind me and just forget about," Shimer said.
Shimer, a former wide receiver and running back at Morehead (Ky.) State University, gets a fresh chance this year.
Last season was the best of his 10-year career. He won five World Cup medals, and bronze medals in the world championship two-man (with Rob Olesen) and the four-man with Olesen, Chip Minton and Randy Jones.
Shimer was the only driver to medal in both events. In this season's World Cup standings, Shimer is third in combined two-man and four-man points behind Canada's Pierre Lueders and Italy's Guenther Huber. Behind Shimer is German star Christoph Langen, considered the world's best bobsledder.
Shimer has entered the Olympics in prime position before. His four-man team had won the World Cup title in 1993, the year before the disqualification in Lillehammer, Norway.
"I thought my team got a little complacent going into the Olympic Games" in 1994, Shimer said. "A lot of it was my fault. We weren't going as fast as the year before. We won the World Cup the previous year. We thought we were just going to come in and clean up."
Talking about past failures seems painful for Shimer, who is exceedingly happy to talk about almost anything else. He is marrying ice skater Sophia Eliazova after the Olympics. He laughs about the fact he doesn't have a full-time job outside of bobsledding and therefore barely can make his $370 truck payments each month. (He said he does receive a U.S. Olympic Committee annual grant of about $8,000.)
During the 1993 world championships, Shimer brazenly wore a plea for sponsorship on his helmet, a piece of tape that said: "Your Logo Here."
Since moving to Lake Placid, N.Y. in the summer of 1996 to utilize the training facilities there, Shimer and his U.S. teammates believe they are ready to win the first U.S. bobsled Olympic medal in 41 years. It's been 49 years since the Americans won gold in the event.
Perhaps for that reason, bobsledders don't get much attention in the United States.
"I'm upset that the Jamaican bobsled team seems more popular in this country than we are," said Minton. "It's probably our fault, for not winning a medal in the last Olympics. ... We're ready to get on the ice and get it on. I think we are going to take a medal. We are the best athletes in the world."
The U.S. sledders seem happy with their equipment, high-tech Bo-Dyn sleds that have been designed and refined with the input of NASCAR racing star Geoff Bodine. Though a relatively new venture, the Bo-Dyn sleds are considered on par or better than the other bobsleds around the world.
"The equipment," Shimer said, "is definitely not going to be an excuse this year."
Among Shimer's problems in 1992 were sled runners that did not meet specifications. Shimer stayed up much of the night fixing the runners before the last day of racing in La Plagne, France.
An additional problem was practice time. Because Walker played with the Minnesota Vikings rather than compete on the World Cup circuit in the fall of 1991, he and Shimer had little time together to prepare. (Bobsledders are now required to race during the World Cup season to qualify for the Olympics.) Walker's push was poor on the first day of competition, and he and Shimer could never recover.
"It was too little, too late," Shimer said. "If Herschel and I could have had more competitions together and pushed together more, no doubt we would have had a medal. ... I always look back at La Plagne as one in my hands that I let slip away."
Shimer hopes his problems are over. Bad karma seemed to follow him out of the 1994 Games as he broke his toe in the '95 world championships. In his first World Cup race of 1996, he pulled a groin muscle. But last season's results, and an early World Cup victory this season (a four-man win Nov. 30 in Germany) suggest Shimer and his U.S. teammates are ready really ready this winter.
"We have the best drivers, the best athletes and the best equipment," U.S. coach Steve Maiorca said.
For once, the Americans would like the best results.

For patients who need dental work done on a tooth below the gum line, or for patients who have a "gummy" smile, our skilled and experienced dentists here at Garrison Family Dentistry of Smithville, MO can perform a crown lengthening.
A crown lengthening is the process of removing gum tissue to expose more of the crown of a tooth. This is needed in cases where there is decay under the gum line, or when a tooth needs a replacement crown, but there is not enough tooth above the gums to work with. This is also used for cosmetic reasons. Sometimes when a person has excess gum tissue, it can cause their teeth to look short, when in fact the teeth are just being covered up. This is commonly referred to as the "gummy" smile.
To start the procedure, incisions are made to the gums to allow them to be pulled back. In some cases, when the tooth needs to be worked on below the jaw bone, that will be cut away to gain access to the tooth. The gums are then cleaned and stitched into place. Even if only one tooth needs to be worked on, several teeth in the area have the gums pulled back so they can heal in a natural line.
If you need work done below the gum line, or want to improve the look of your "gummy" smile, the dentists here at Garrison Family Dentistry are experienced in performing crown lengthening. To schedule a consultation, call (816) 532-8778 or visit our website, www.garrisondentistry.com.

Nancy Reagan Stem Cell Research Quote: "Science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with answers that have so long been beyond our grasp. I just don't see how we can turn our backs on this… there are just so many diseases that can be cured, or at least helped. We have lost so much time already, and I just really can't bear to lose any more."- Former First Lady Nancy Reagan
Also quoted from Nancy Reagan after Obama reversed the Bush stem cell veto: "I'm very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research… These new rules will now make it possible for scientists to move forward. I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers… Countless people, suffering from many different diseases, stand to benefit from the answers stem cell research can provide. We owe it to ourselves and to our children to do everything in our power to find cures for these diseases – and soon. As I've said before, time is short, and life is precious." – Nancy Reagan speaking about stem cells, 2009

You already know your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life. Friends, family and work colleagues all gather together to be a part of it. You may want entertainment for everyone. What do wedding magicians offer?
Everything adds to the enjoyment and thrill of your big day. Wedding magicians should do that too. But how? Here are some questions you may have:
Why should I hire a wedding magician?
The obvious question to ask! The obvious answer is to entertain your wedding guests… but it is more than that. Family, friends and work colleagues are invited. These diverse groups of people will not necessarily know each other. Experienced wedding magicians know how to handle this. Jon Allen creates an enjoyable atmosphere and gives a shared experience to people. Those few guests who don't know anyone else are brought into groups and afterwards strangers are now easily chatting away like old friends.
When is the best time to for a wedding magician to be at my wedding?
Drinks reception and when photos are being taken are ideal. Wedding guests stand around; conversations can run dry. The right wedding magician kickstarts a wonderful atmosphere. When it comes to entertaining at weddings, Jon is highly experienced; comfortable talking with anyone. He has an ability to create an instant rapport and puts people at ease so they relax and enjoy the magic. Other factors can decide when the magic is presented e.g. Large number of guests and short drinks reception, other entertainment for guests. Jon has been involved in the entertainment of numerous weddings so is perfect positioned to advise you.
Does it really matter which wedding magician I hire for my big day?
OH YES! A wedding is the most special day in the life of the bride and groom (maybe pushed into second place if put up against the birth of a child). You want everything to be perfect. Wedding magicians are in direct contact with your family, friends and work colleagues. What image does your wedding magician portray? Some magicians work in t-shirts regardless of the event; some have the lingering smell of cigarettes and some are very skilful but lack social skills away from doing the tricks. Check what type of person your potential wedding magician is via their website, videos and a phone call. Jon is always immaculately dressed, never smokes or drinks alcohol and is always considerate to the environments in which he works.
Remember! The most important thing to appreciate when booking wedding magicians is the one thing that makes them different to every other element of your wedding: The magician you choose for your wedding will be in direct social contact with your friends, family and business colleagues.
'Cheap' wedding magicians will do just as good a job though, yes?
Possibly the biggest mistake people make when booking a wedding magician is thinking they are all the same. Of course every wedding has a budget so everything has to have a value. If you value what a wedding magician can add to your wedding then it is worth paying slightly more for someone who can deliver want you need. Jon is not cheap but he adds a disproportionate amount of value to your wedding day; an enjoyable atmosphere and magical moments provided by a professional and experienced wedding magician. While guests forget many aspects of a wedding over a short period of time, the magic and entertainment Jon delivers is remembered for years afterwards!
Here are some things to consider when comparing wedding magicians with different fees:
- Have they just decided they need to earn a certain amount per month and will charge according to their lifestyle or have they earned the right to charge a higher fee through experience, ability and knowledge?
- How experienced are they at performing magic at weddings? Someone who needs the experience may well charge less but won't know the best way to entertain at your wedding.
- If your wedding runs later than the agreed time will they charge you extra for staying longer?
- Are they local or do they have a long journey?
- Are they full time or do they have another job so they are not dependent on their earnings from working as a magician?
- 'Award-winning magician' sounds great and might bump up someone's fee but what are the awards meaningful and/or relevant?
Jon may well be more expensive than most wedding magicians and not as expensive as some. However, the value he adds to your special day is something that cannot be measured in £s.
Is it just close-up magic for weddings?
No. As well as close-up magic, you may wish to have a special performance that all the guests will enjoy together. A stand-up act is a wonderful finale to the magical entertainment. Everyone will enjoy the show and the bride & groom can be central to it with bespoke magic created just for them! If performed during dessert or coffee, the stand-up magic does not need to add any extra time to the schedule. A stand-up magic act can create an amazing atmosphere that permeates through the whole party.
Jon also works with other entertainers to provide a complete entertainment package.
The bottom line? With so many wedding magicians for hire, which one is right for your wedding?

From out on the farmland the smoke is almost a white out.
Then the mountains are gone.
The wind blows so hard we are almost pushed off the road.
We head back towards home certain the winds will keep the fire on the eastern side of the mountain.
We soon find that will not be the case. Fire has pushed against the wind, over the ridge line to the western side.
Darkness sweeps up the mountain and the true fire line is revealed. Neighbors drive up to see the view and report that the houses on Second Mountain have been evacuated and the area over the front side is being readied for evacuation. Fire is closing in on a neighbors turkey houses and crews are working to prevent houses nearby from burning.
The fire crews are busy, six major fires burn in the county. Switzer Dam directly to the north west of our mountain is burning as well.
The fire moves further down and the moon rises over Second Mountain
Fire burns down a ridge near houses beside us.
About two hours later the fire flares and drops down to the highway. State troopers race up 33 to close off the road. We can hear the fire crackling and timbers falling, but the fire crews light back fires along the highway and the fire grows huge then stalls. With luck the fire line will hold till morning.
If it reaches the west side of Dry River, I think little would stop it!
In the morning.
The air is so thick with smoke.Sometimes the mountains slip behind this heavy white blanket and disappear. The good news is the fire in front of us is mostly out, but on the other side of the mountain it still burns on. Fire fighters scaled down the steepest side of Second Mountain. I have climbed this hill as a teenager, you do not climb it by walking, instead you scramble and clime like a cat on a ladder. This is country better climbed by mountain goats then people. During the peak of the fire, tiny blue white lights of helmets could be seen dotted along this almost vertical mountain side, as flames leaped into solid walls before them
The news reports that Peak Mountain Road remains closed.

Coaxing a long line of slow-moving cows down their path, pitching hay near the roof beams of an old barn on a blistering summer day until your nostrils fill with dust, smelling the distant sweet odor of corn silage on a September afternoon, feeling the breeze off a long field of grass... those are just a few memories that generations of farm families share almost instinctively.
From those few images spring many others for those who haven't grown up on farms... pasture views, long expanses of land that people imagine being perfect for a house site, cows in a meadow, turkeys amid the stubble of a corn field, and crooked picturesque barns that keep standing despite a lack of attention.
The people behind the sounds and sights that make up the agricultural landscape in the Northeast Kingdom are the topic of this week's Farm Families documentary series here at VPR. You might have thought that the story of agriculture in Vermont has been told. Not so, though, especially in this part of Caledonia County.
Charlotte Albright spent months visiting and getting to know the people who live on six multi-generational farms to explore just how the future of agriculture hangs in the balance. In this series, she touched the past, the present and, in some ways, the future.
There are many ways into this series. The stories air during Morning Edition at 7:50am and during All Things Considered at 4:50pm. Or you can listen online or read the text. The stories are sound-rich portraits that characterize the farm family dilemma from various points of view.
But don't miss the online audio slideshow. You can hear the behind-the-scenes narrative of how the project came together and see Herb Swanson's photos of the farm families who were interviewed.
Or maybe this entry brings to mind a story of your own. Tell us online; we'll post your own farm family story or essay.
By telling these stories, VPR hopes to help you to find your own connection to the family farm and to examine how its preservation or disappearance affects you.

You cannot unlearn what you have learned. This wasn't my World up until the day I saw their video. I was just an extremely quiet and self contained guy living a peaceful life with my now departed four legged friend.
All of this filth and evil simply wasn't on my radar or in my life up until this. I went from that to being immersed in it for a year, day in and day out. Its a horrible and nasty subject at the best of times but when you are on the inside and working with it constantly then its many times worse. Keep in mind we are not a rescue and rehome – we don't even get the satisfaction of taking in a dog and successful rehoming it.
Instead we face a big daily grind and a Government who, as you can see, are absolutely determined not to shift if they can.
This means constantly dealing with an ugly matter all the time and knowing that your main goal isn't going to transpire easily or next Monday. I'm sick of looking back at the faces of the abusers and I'm sick of seeing the results of their actions. They disgust me in ways that words don't do justice to but what disgusts me more is knowing that they essentially get off with it. Again and again.
I am and always have been fairly confident that if you hold the Governments feet to the fire long enough that they will likely relent. You're not going to get 100,000 people sent to prison for 5 yrs per year. You won't even get 1,000. That's not even realistic or probably necessary. What is necessary and what is required is to send the very worse of them away for five years (or more if possible). You make a big example out of the most extreme and society will naturally learn that this is a very serious thing. If you had a situation where the max for rape was 26 weeks then you would see a huge spike in rape. Its just common sense.
If you want to see many less tragedies like 'Baby' etc then it is obvious and clear that you must start locking the offenders up for a long time. Anything less than that just isn't going to cut it. It would be like trying to address rape as a crime set against a background of a 26 week maximum. You could ultimately talk for years and years but until that maximum was raised the message would be – rape isn't that big a deal.
You could even educate that 'rape is bad' but for as long as you were giving rapists 26 weeks the message would remain that rape is not a big issue.
It is for that reason that we have that one clear goal. Anything after that or beyond that would be a bonus.
I've been reflecting on what Malcolm said the other week about FB being treated too much like a drama on TV and I've also been reflecting on the fact that Jane was keen that we essentially go forward but cut out all the dead wood. Lurkers, trolls, people that just read for something to do, her view is that FB attracts way too much of it and in terms of actually sparing these dogs from a fate worse than death its not helping. They are both right.
Its fine to have a large FB following if you are an entertainment page. But there's nothing entertaining about this subject matter. We hate it and we just want these people sent to prison for a good length of time – which is LONG overdue. I can hardly think of a worse subject to get involved in. The topic is completely depressing and you are up against an unbelievable bureaucracy that are determined not to budge if they can get away with it. Jane is (without going into detail) one of the bravest people I've known. Since she's been with OF the last 5 months she works herself into the ground for the goal. Far too much at times. She truly doesn't have time to waste. Nor do I. Nor do those next set of victims.
It is for that reason and with the words of Jane and Malcolm in mind that I am going to trial this out in a different way that makes best use of our time while reducing the 'something to read' factor.
What we are first going to explore is doing radio work. I believe Jane has something in the pipe and I'd like to pursue that more. There are conventional radio shows and now you also have independent shows online. Both of us are quite comfortable discussing our goal so that's an area I'd like to pursue for sure.
We will change our page to a group. To this group we will invite everyone who wants to be productive in one way or another. We'll likely recognise many of those names anyway. At least we would then know that however many people are in it are at least on some level productive. We could have better quality discussions and those people would probably feel more inclined to be open. It would waste less of Jane's time, it would waste less of my time, and we could just get on with what we want to do.
I think if the productive people were brought together then we'd achieve things just as fast if not faster. Sometimes the comments and suggestions of our best people are just lost under a sea of utter crap. Its not productive for our best people, its not productive for us, and it only wastes our time.
Unlike the head of the RSPCA or 650 MP's we aren't paid. We only do this because it is the right thing to do. We don't enjoy it – none of it. We want a result and to get a result we need the serious people. We've good some fantastic people so we can begin with them. We'll be able to discuss things and work together knowing that everyone there is ready to work/do. The first thing the wider public would know would be when something happens and appears in the media. Keeps a bit of mystery and surprise as well. But its mainly about bringing the good and the serious people together in a way that is more productive than having them swallowed up by generic FB junk.
I want to do something this summer that is so good that it will eclipse anything else done. I have some thoughts in mind and with the serious people I am able to explore and further those ideas with them more effectively. If over time others also want to step into the circle and be someone that's part of an effective unit then the door will always be open to that.
I've taken on board what Jane and Malcolm have said and I have also thought about it myself. It is with that in mind we shall trial it the new way as of next Friday. We will set up the group. If you're already known to us as a direct help then we will add you straight off.
With that said we don't want to miss anyone in error. So if you are one of those people send a message to Jane and she will add you to the list. When I've had time to set up the group (next week), we will invite all the people of action and those who are of help.
That's the only way I think we are going to win this and in relative short order (or at least in a reasonable time frame).

It is Sunday
Please don't make me go to work.
I need to get my ipod classic fixed but the warranty is well gone. 80gb and the headphone jack is fucked. Is it worth it?
hey man
where do you live? check if there's a Screenway. fixed my ipod, exact same problem, fixed in 4 days for 50 quid, didn't even ask about warranty.
Think I might have to go back to hospital today :(
Feel absolutely disgusted by a friend's lack of contact with me over this,clearly a night out means you can't even send someone a text to see if they're ok or not or if I'd managed to get home ok without a penny to my name.
Now I have to get home from Yorkshire and hope I don't embarrass myself like yesterday and collapse in public before I get home.
:( oh scout!
if i were there, i would cook you up a huge 4 egg potato courgette and mushroom omelette sandwich. and a cup of tea.
it ranks amongst one of my top hangover sandwiches
see also: potato salad sandwich.
i hope things are ok scout, i rly do. xxxjustanothersheeldz this'd this
this is rubbish
when you doctors next?
we need a sunday support group guys
well I've just got to the train station
And pretty sure I'm going to faint, I'm so hot and things keep going black, so I'm going to try and walk to the hospital when I get to Manchester. There's a letter at home for me which I think is an appointment for another scan, hopefully that'll be next week. Bit scared though :(
Oh Scout. Maybe their phone was fucked? I'm sure they do care, and even if they've been shit, there are plenty of people who do care. HUGS.
nah, he was surrounded by people who had my number
I've had enough shit friends, I'm crying on the station platform like a lunatic. At least I'll get my own seat on the train!
Fucking hell.
rly rly hope stuff starts picking up for you soon. I'm sure it will.
Dude :(
Sounds horrible, really hope it all turns out OK. Hope someone punches all of your shit friends in the balls too.
hate to hear you're not well. ring yourself an ambulance if you think you're going to pass out again. better safe, you know?
be safe!! *hugs*TheWza this'd this
am eating a huge 4 egg potato courgette and mushroom omelette sandwich. and a cup of tea.
went to a great party last night. the party was fun, and i met loads of great people :D
but. loads of things happened that totally fucked with my head. i somehow got stuck between this not quite a couple (i'm not sure how) and i spent a fair amount of the night feeling very similar to a situation back in edinburgh that i thought was OVER. (that probably makes no sense.) although, i think it that may just happen, finding out loads of fucked up stuff, when you're rapidly introduced into a pre-made friendship group, instead of sort of... organically forming your own. anyway, i'm gonna talk to my flat mate about it later when i give her her first english lesson. woo!
Morning. Oh, sorry, afternoon.
Sunday's plan: Masters stuff I've been putting off for ages, eBaying shit I don't need, play Chinese Checkers and Othello, drink coffee.
My boyfriend has an iPod with a broken headphone jack and when he took it to the store to even see if they could fix it they just said no.
No idea. I have piles of stuff I don't use / need anymore all around the house, so the first task is to actually collect it all up and go through it :'''''(
it's really tedious but when it pays off, OH YEAH
i made like £200 selling old Marvel UK Transformers comics over the summer.
SO SO SO bored at work
Turns out i'm allowed to use my work address to join the library though :D Going to go and do that at lunch time. Although i'm sorely tempted to go to the pictures instead.
what's your job ?
cos it sounds like you don't ever have much to do !
'Customer service operative'
We don't get many customers though so i'm mainly a caretaker. I have a big bunch of keys and everything.
(a) dicks down the corridor playing Reef at brain bursting volumes at 3:30am - FUCK OFF
(b) Mike Judge saying Daria is going to be in new Beavis & Butthead episodes - FUCK OFF
today can fuck off
i think because of this stupid boards i assumed that 18 year olds were mega hip about music
18 year olds are mega hip about NOTHING
also, buy some decent earplugs, they will improve your quality of life by about seven gazillion percent.
it wouldn't have made any difference last night
i had my ipod on and it was drowning out that
dude, you can't complain about noise on a saturday night.
you just can't, sorry.
yeah, I can, and I did
there's having fun and there's being a dick, and I can accept the former, and last night totally strayed into the latter.prunes this'd this
The APPLENOIDS
tried to charge me £70 to fix a headphone jack on my iPod touch, I laughed at their faces and switched to HTC products... silly apple
Packing for another fun-filled week in Basingstoke
Going to watch the last couple of episodes of Six Feet Under before I go. Think that's all I have planned for today.
less angry now, actually getting on with work and doing it pretty well (i think?)
just got some mega twitter spam, though. I mention Real Estate The Band in a tweet, I get this:
(from @gwish1c) This real-estate rolodex helped me alot, look into this ow.ly/6SXiG?t4yl9
Work on a sunday?
Lucky you!
Just got home from a trip to a city I've never been to before, got no food in the fridge, so ordering some now nomnommm
i'm not completely incompetent, i'm quite a good cook
this morning my flatmate went out to see his strict muslim parents
unaware that last night while he was passed out someone wrote "cunt pie" in permanent marker on his forehead
There's someone on Come Dine With Me right now who's from Latvia (or maybe Lithuania) but lives in Doncaster.
Her accent is extraordinary.
the headphone socket on my ipod died
i bought one of these instead
Does the job

Sony has, after forever and a day of holding up, at last re-presented the long postponed game "The Last Guardian" at E3 Expo.
Declared numerous years back for PlayStation 3, this third amusement from the inventor of acclaimed experiences Ico and Shadow of the Coalossus went dim for quite a while. It's presently been restored on PlayStation 4, and Sony says it'll be out in 2016.
Sony additionally pulled out all the stops to guarantee fans that Fumito Ueda, executive of the arrangement, is as yet running the show despite the fact that he has left Sony, putting his name up front in the gameplay trailer and having him in the group of onlookers here at Sony's E3 instructions.
The gameplay demo looks simply like we recall that it: Much like Ico, you're a young man navigating an old ruin, and you require the assistance of your accomplice a titan feathered creature canine thing—to get past the riddles and traps. That thing's likely going to relinquish his life for you 90 percent of the path through the amusement, isn't it. Get the Kleenex ready.

Contributed by the Dynamic Systems Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS, MEASUREMENT, AND CONTROL. Manuscript received March 7, 2014; final manuscript received October 29, 2014; published online January 27, 2015. Assoc. Editor: Jwu-Sheng Hu.
In this paper, our main concern is the problem of stabilization of discrete-time linear systems with both quantization and noise input. Stabilizability by means of quantizers that perform adaptations called "zooming" is analyzed. The noise input can be separated into an additive white noise part and a deterministic constant input disturbance. The analysis of mean-square stability of the system with noise input is essentially the asymptotic stability of the system disturbed by a constant input. It is shown that the system with the constant input disturbance is asymptotically stabilized by the quantized feedback control policy if the system without noise input can be stabilized by a linear state feedback law. Both the state quantization and the input quantization are studied.

spring chickens, garden love and lakeside living share the spotlight at dancing goat for the may occasional event. colors throughout are vibrant and saturated.
farmhouse fresh decor with gingham checks, quirky chickens and pyrex dishes remind us of country kitchen "lunch" and simpler times.
a once gold ornate mirror takes on a whole new vibe when covered with a coat of carribean blue paint. furniture once meant for a formal dining room look at home on a chalkboard wall or in a lakeside boat house.
"crochet chic" love is evedent in every corner of the dancing goat, proving our obsession with vintage afghans and pillows. while garden rakes, childrens rusty toy trackers and wool flower pins mimic the flowers just beginning to bloom in our spring gardens.
spring and summer are all about fun! pull in some bright quirky decor to let your whimsy show. and find it all this month, at the dancing goat studio!!!!

Netanya Gourmet on Nob Hill between Sunrise and Oakland Park is a middle eastern--in this case, Israeli--grocery store in Sunrise. It's a little more spread out than, say, Tel Aviv a couple of miles away, but has less variety of items and much less in the way of fresh spices, pickles and olives.
What it does have is a really good sandwich counter, basically takeout with a few tables by the windows. I had a shawarma; they make it with turkey (yes, turkey) on pocket pitas from the venerable Pita Pan bakery. It's really good; meat cooked just right, tender with just the right bit of char, suffused with an Indian-style curry seasoning, good creamy tahini, crisp, finely chopped vegetables including cucumber and tomato. It's $5.25, and it's substantial enough to stand as a self-contained meal. The hot sauce, a harissa or something like it, sneaks up on you nicely, and the whole thing is mighty soulful. I'm not sure how it compares to the one at the Tel Aviv's restaurant.. it's been a while. But it is cheaper and it is darn good. I'd imagine their other middle eastern sandwiches are just as good; they've got a decent number of veggie options.
Kosher. Closed early Fridays and all day Saturday. No restrooms. Sandwiches and to-go salads and dips only; no entrees.

To understand how this museum came to be, you have to go back to May 23–24, 1865, the end of the Civil War. There was a grand review of the armies, and 200,000 Union soldiers marched from the Capitol to the White House. No black troops were part of the assemblage.
Fifty years later, the Grand Army of the Republic held a re-enactment of the grand review. Black veterans were invited but had to make separate arrangements for balls and banquets. African-American citizens in Washington, D.C., formed the Colored Citizens Committee to raise money to organize everything. With the money that was left over, they formed a nonprofit, the National Memorial Association, to construct a permanent memorial to honor Negro soldiers and sailors.
The NMA later said, "We've done more than contribute by serving in the military. We've contributed in the arts, sciences, education, music, business, inventions. We should have a memorial building that has exhibits about those achievements and contributions." A bill passed to create this memorial, but the funding was stripped out. Then the stock market crashed, and it was the worst possible time to be engaging and embarking on a venture like this.
Museums were being formed around the country to encourage the study of African-American history. There was a movement to create a national museum. There was a hearing on a bill to do this in March 1968. The bill didn't pass.
Congress passed legislation for a museum, and President George W. Bush signed it into law. It took another couple of years to get a site because we wanted the museum on the National Mall, and that was very controversial. But that decision was approved.
The soldiers who inspired the movement to create this museum were treated as second-class citizens. When the museum opened, an African-American man was commander in chief. The fight to create this museum shows the perseverance, the grit, the determination, and the passion for justice, for recognition, and for equality that the African-American community has always fought for and striven for in this country.

Deangelo Hall gives out cleats after practice, now he needs them back
Attention all fans who attended the Washington Redskins' training camp practice on Monday--has anyone seen Deangelo Hall's cleats? He gave them to a fan after practice, and now he needs them back.
Hall didn't realize that the cleats he so generously gave away had special insoles inside of them. He needs these.
For this special fan willing to return them, they will not go home empty handed. Hall is prepared to offer them a consolation prize that might be even better than the cleats themselves.

The woman has so much natural power and influence that the men who wrote the Old Testament wanted by all means to limit its action. Indeed, it is the woman who gives life, who knows who the father of her children, it is the woman who feeds the child, which educates the form is that it leads to some so ... if the family still had to give him importance in the lives of adults, what would be left to men? More much, they thought.
These men of the Old Testament were therefore made to limit its power in the civil and religious life. Ban women to read the Torah prohibition to speak in synagogues. Better than this: that God has decreed that the woman was unclean seven days per month during her period. Prohibition to touch it, to be affected. The door was locked, as it were divine instructions.
Check for yourself if the position of the Church in this area is linked to Gospel values.

Windows 8 To Offer USB 3.0 Stack
One of the main goals for Windows 8 with respect to peripheral support, is the robust support for USB devices. From the first 1.1 standard, the high speed 2.0 standard and the newest addition of SuperSpeed USB 3.0.
Microsoft expects to see all new PCs have a USB 3.0 port by 2015…but I think we'll see USB 3.0 in all PCs before the end of 2013. Microsoft also forecasts a number of 2 billion USB 3.0 devices to ship in 2015 as well.
Microsoft's game plan is keeping their current USB stack for 1.1 and 2.0 devices as it's proven and stable, while incorporating a new USB stack for 3.0 devices.Continue Reading

Jim and I went last night to pick up a Christmas tree for our folks. It was fun. The best part was that we only had to choose between two types of 7-8 foot trees. And we only had enough money for the first kind we looked at. Well, almost. We were a a quarter short. Oh, and we had about six feet of space for a seven point five-foot tree.

Nicktoons features kids' favourites such as 'SpongeBob SquarePants', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', 'Sanjay & Craig' and 'T.U.F.F. Puppy'.
Viewers can tune into Nicktoons on channel 560 via their YouView box.
"YouView from TalkTalk keeps getting better, and from this week younger viewers can enjoy a host of great cartoons on Nicktoons," TalkTalk stated.

With the addition of Nicktoons, TalkTalk TV's Entertainment Extra Boost now includes more than 60 channels, from both sides of the Atlantic.
The package includes children's content, along with music, factual and entertainment programming.

This means viewers can join on an ad hoc basis, simply cancelling their subscription if they no longer want to have access.

Way OT: Austin, TX
I am not sure if we're still in the offseason or not given that fall two-a-days have started, but given the broad geographical reach of this community, I wanted to see if I could impose upon the board to see what those with direct personal information could provide me with their take on Austin, TX.
I was offered a job just to the west of downtown and I am thinking of relocating from Connectiut to Austin with my wife and two teenage daughters.
Everyone I've spoken to and everything I've read suggests that Austin is a great place to live and raise a family, with traffic and heat during the summer being the primary drawbacks. We're not an active outdoors family, not a lot of biking/hiking or live music concerts, so I was wondering if in the absence of those activities, Austin was still a great place.
Any constructive input would be appreciated.
Apologies if we/ve moved out of offseason, but this OT post was worth a shot.

text: Charles Ener Hunter Meredith Matthew Moerbe Nicholas Crabtree Tony Nguyen A food chain is a term used to show how energy and nutrients flow through nature. The energy and nutrients pass from an organism when it is eaten or otherwise taken by another organism. Every different environment holds its own series of different food chains, many of which will overlap with each other at some point. A rainforest for example, will have a large number of food chains, each involving many different animals. The food chains in the Arctic Circle, on the other hand, will be shorter, and less in number. And of course, they will involve different animals. The Producers make up the first part of any food chain. Producers are generally plants. To some extent, everything in the food chain gets energy from a Producer. Producers create their own energy through the process of photosynthesis, using only soil and sunlight. Producers will be eaten at some point by herbivores or omnivores. These animals –known as Consumers- will then gain a portion of their energy. There are two kinds of Consumers: Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers These are the first of the Consumers. Primary Consumers are either herbivores or omnivores. As animals, they are incapable of producing their own energy in the way that plants do. So, they eat plants. Part of the energy that is absorbed from the plants travels on to fuel the activities of the animal that ate them. The rest is lost. The Primary Consumers must keep eating plants to gain energy. A mouse (Consumer) will eat grass (Producer) in order to keep up its energy. These animals may not necessarily be present in a given food chain. These animals are either omnivores or carnivores. They gain their energy by feeding off of the Primary Consumers. Secondary Consumers will hunt consumers, or scavenge ones that have recently died for sustenance. The amount of energy they receive from their prey is slightly less than what the prey had gotten from the plants it had eaten. There may be still more Consumers in a food chain, which will feed off of the Secondary Consumers A snake (Secondary Consumer) will eat a mouse (Primary Consumer) for energy. But sometimes even Secondary Consumers can become prey. This is the case with this snake becoming food for this predatory bird. The Decomposers are the last official step in the food chain. Decomposers can not typically be seen by the naked eye. They consist of tiny, microscopic bacteria and fungi. Decomposers have a disgusting, but incredibly vital role in the food chain. When a Consumer dies, the bacteria eat away at the remains of its body. The remains are disposed of, and the bacteria move on. But, the nutrients they eat are released back into the soil. This allows the Producers (plants) to take the nutrients in through their roots. With this, the entire food chain starts over again from the first step. This means that the nutrients and potential for energy always remain in the environment for organisms to partake in. Food chains are an essential part of our ecosystem. They ensure that energy and nutrients are properly distributed throughout the environment. Things remain organized so that nothing goes hungry. 1) What is a food chain? 2) What is a Producer's role in the food chain? 3) What kind of organism is a Producer? 4) How many varieties of Consumers are there? 5) What is a Consumer's role in the food chain? 6) What is the diet of a Primary Consumer? 7) What is the diet of a Secondary Consumer? 8) What is a Decomposer's role in the food chain? 9) Generally, what kind of organism is a Decomposer? 10) What is the overall purpose of a food chain?

Here's news for those think speed dates are just for unmarried youngsters. On Thursday, hundreds of elders gathered for a mass blind-dating session in Zhongshan Park, Jinan in east China's Shandong Province.
More than 500 people participated in the event. The oldest was an 86-year-old man, and the oldest female was 73, China Foto Press reported. This year marks the ninth year of this annual special speed-dating event. Attendees must be over 60 for males and over 50 for females.
Participants are looking for someone to spend the rest of their lives with. However, many are simply hoping to keep loneliness at bay.
"I stay in the bed alone every day. Nobody talks to me, hands over me water or tea," 81-year-old Mr. Shang said. He said he was hoping to find happiness and to lessen his children's burden of caring for him.

HAGERSTOWN -- Loretta Wright's path to director of Memorial Recreation Center in Hagerstown last year actually began when she first became a mother 22 years ago.
"I decided to become a preschool teacher about 20 years ago," Wright said.
She began that career at Rehoboth United Methodist Church in Williamsport and later as a substitute teacher at Fountaindale Elementary.
She and her husband, Kelly Wright -- a Fox News anchor -- have two sons, Michael, 22, and Morgan, 19. The Wrights joined the board at Memorial Recreation Center during the tenure of the late Ruth Monroe, longtime director at the 109 W. North Ave. center.
A native of Chambersburg, Pa., Loretta Wright graduated from Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pa., with a degree in retail merchandising.
Years later, when she joined the Memorial Recreation board, she found she knew a lot of the children through teaching at Fountaindale.
"I was asked to come to a meeting at Memorial Recreation, and I volunteered to be the director," she said.
