TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, New York Mets
Updated On Jan. 17 by Joe D. From Marc Carig of Newsday, the latest on The Beard: Source: Mets still haven't closed the door on a major league deal for former Giants closer Brian Wilson. Fear the Beard Rumors! Updated On Jan. 16 by Joe D. This from Mike Puma of the NY Post: Brian Wilson probably shouldn't change his ring tone to "Meet the Mets" anytime soon. According to a baseball source, the veteran closer didn't impress the Mets during his workout at UCLA on Saturday and wasn't deemed worthy of a major league contract at this point in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Wilson, the source said, wasn't interested in a minor league deal. "Physically, he's not ready," the source said. "He's got a ways to go." We haven't heard the last of this yet. There's only a few household names left on the market, and the Mets will keep up the pretense that they are engaging these players as long as they can. Updated On Jan. 14 by Joe D. Sandy Alderson watched former San Francisco Giants

Boogie with the beautiful
What we say:
Boogie with the beautiful people at this Clarke Quay hotspot.
In the early evening Attica will let almost anyone have a drink at their riverside patio, but later in the night a long queue forms outside the main door and the bouncer can be very particular — definitely dress to impress. The music is as international as the glamorous crowd with hip hop, top 40, Euro dance and Latin grooves. If the grinding on the dance floor gets too much you can retreat to the lush Bali-style courtyard.

The people camped out on Wall Street are not leaving unless and until they are cleared out by force. They look all kinds of silly in their outfits, and some of their statements don't make a whole lot of sense to people like you, but they have put down roots, and you better get used to them. I'm sure the whole phenomenon is quite perplexing to you - really, why don't they just go home? Don't these people have jobs?
I hate to be the Irony Police, but that's pretty much the whole point. They can't, and they don't. Have homes and jobs, I mean. There was a guy out there a few days ago holding a sign in front of a mortgage-lending institution that read "These People Took My Parent's Home." There are all sorts of people walking around Wall Street yelling their lungs out at you because, well, they really would like the opportunity to find gainful employment, as well as a future, but that nifty shell game you and yours pulled off (on our dime) wound up immolating the economy of the common man/woman, and so the common man/woman has decided - in lieu of anything else better to do - to spend their you-created idle hours on your doorstep.
An Open Letter to Wall Street, by William Rivers Pitt on Truthout
Read the whole letter here. This is the one of the best summaries of the Occupy Wall Street protests I've seen.

The LagoonComments0
this wiki
The Lagoon is a small bay in the island which is connected to the ocean. The Lagoon had a waterfall being emptied into it, people sometimes swim in it which could be an indication that it is freshwater. Since the Lagoon's water is often calm, most of the island visitors are seen arriving or leaving by means of the Lagoon.
The Lagoon was also the site of the sunken ship of Fifi Le France and her husband Ricardo Laughingwell, who formed the South Sea Film Productions. After they were married they sailed on their yacht to the island on their honeymoon to make a motion picture together. Their yacht somehow sunk, leaving their film, camera, and costumes for the castaways to find years later. It is unknown if they were rescued or died on the island. (Episode - Castaways Pictures Presents )
The lagoon was also a source of food for the castaways on the island, for they caught fish, as well as lobsters in the lagoon. It is also the scene where several objects wash in from the sea such as a military attaché case, a crate of radioactive vegetables, a box of plastic explosives and other objects. Visitors also tend to land here, such as Boris Balingkoff, Jackson Farrell, Duke Williams, Erika Tiffany Smith and a Japanese Soldier among others. The Professor once placed a stick in the lagoon with markers to keep track of the water level on the isle. In one episode Gilligan put his lobster traps on that stick, and was placing it in deeper water to catch larger lobsters, which led the Professor and the others to believe the island was sinking. (Episode - Quick Before It Sinks). The Castaways have also dug up items here like a tiki statue, pirate chest and a rare gem that seemed to grant three wishes. The digging of a lobster trap seemed to cause a section of the bank to float out into the lagoon (Episode - Three to Get Ready).
The ending of the second and third seasons show the Castaways still waiting to rescue beside the lagoon. A "Mad TV" episode shows seven skeletons still beside the lagoon... still waiting rescue!

I also don't see what the rage is all about when it comes to vehicles. I understand the "time and effort put into a rotation and UI, why make me change it" argument, but frankly the reason I don't play dps much anymore is rotations get tiring and the vehicle portion of fights tend to be small, only two fights in the entire game (Occ/FL) are completely vehicle fights. After I did my first demolisher quest in BT, I honestly couldn't wait for another one because I found them so much fun.
Now granted the new system, especially in those first couple patches, was pretty clunky and still is in no way perfect, but I actually found it a nice change over from the usual 1-2-3-3-4 rotation. I think if the system was a little smoother I don't think people would be as angry.
I found it enjoyable to have to wrestle with something new for a short amount of time, and, as was said above, it really wasn't a huge deal so long as you knew WTF-to-do before you got on.
Where people seemed to get frustrated in EoE is when they saw 5 new buttons and just started mashing them incomprehensibly hoping to win. I think Blizz should have given players a good 30-40 seconds before P3 began to wrestle with these new controls, before having to start dodging and mashing.
TL/DR- I think vehicle combat would have been less of a chore and more of a welcome spice to a fight had the system been a little smoother and the transitions a little less "omgwtf".

I would argue, as I would for many of Blizzard's games, that they are not the best innovators, but they certainly are the best at refining and perfecting other and past innovations cohesively.
There were a ton of factors all combined to create the "perfect storm" that WoW was, and still is. Quality, pace, relative lack of grind compared to the norm in 2004, and the huge amount of hype that comes from a company as big as they were with an IP as well-known as Warcraft.
You bring up a really interesting MMO, SW:G, which also had a huge amount going for it, but was laid on the shoulders of a developer who tried to do too much, ended up with too little (initially), and released a product that was still in early beta by my measures. That initial loss of goodwill was enough for me to never try coming back again.
WoW on the other hand? I've quit (taken extended breaks) four times.
I'm interested to see what BioWare does with a great license, and a very capable group of developers.

Well, the change has begun. School started today and the State Fair is close behind. To me, that marks the beginning of fall. The daylight gets shorter, too. Time to start the fall frenzy!
We hopefully can count on more frequent rains now and that means planting new trees, shrubs, perennials and even a few fall vegetables. Extra work in the beginning means less work later. Shortcuts rarely save you anything.

That stretch of asphalt connecting Newport Road with Domenigoni Pkwy will open up in a matter of weeks, according to the Press Enterprise.
While this is going to be great news for Hemet, will it be great news for Menifee?
Congestion along Newport RD near the 215 Freeway is going to get worse, as Hemet folks make their way to points north and south. And Riverside County doesn't plan to relieve that congestion for another four years...
Unfortunately, parkway travelers still will endure a crowded stretch of Newport Road before reaching I-215. Perez said improvements to Newport Road near I-215 will take four years. The biggest expectation for this new connector is that it will relieve congestion along Winchester Rd through Murrieta and Temecula. But will that relief come at a major cost to us in Menifee?
If Hemet commuters now have a straight shot to the 215 Freeway, will that increase congestion on the 215?
Retail centers in Menifee will not necessarily benefit right away from this new connector, because people in Hemet don't need to come to Menifee to do their shopping. However, the new road will make it easier for Menifee folks to get to the Super Wal-Mart in Hemet. Hemet could stand to get more of our tax dollars via this new road.
Overall, I think this new connector is a good idea for the entire South-West Riverside County as a whole. But I'm disappointed to learn that traffic relief along Newport & I-215 is still another four years away. In the long run, this connector will become vital to Menifee's future, but only after retail and business centers have been built here.
Until then, Newport Rd is going to become very busy, very soon.

Don't forget to mention there's a school located right next to Newport & Menifee roads, with kids walking around everywhere. It's going to be a mess.ReplyDelete

You know HEMET is our new cancer. Since pretty much half of Menifee lives off the soon to be congested Newport RD. If I recall HWY 74 served the N/S gateway. Since we are not a city we have to suck it up for Hemet. Really not that all of Hemet is bad, but I am not happy there trash has an easy way into out communityReplyDelete

HAHA...how funny you put down the "TRASH" from Hemet, but you do it as ANOYMOUS...haha...ReplyDelete
Most people that are going to be using that road are using it to get on the freeway, probably to go to work...Otherwise, what the hell would ANYONE want to go to MENIFEE for, maybe the several Jack-in-the-box's that are there....cause other than that, it's nothing but a bunch of STUCK UP, I THINK I AM BETTER THAN YOU, people, that ultimatly can't afford to purchase a House in San Diego or Orange County, so they settle in little ole' Menifee, so they can brag and say, hey look at my big 6 bdrm....Im BETTER than you....lol....Yeah sure.....more like, your barely able to afford a 200k, house....SAVE THE BS...
If your not happy with living on or by that street, you should have not moved there, considering it is a growing, under construction, little little town....DUHHHHHHHH.......

I guess you might be right jealouspirate!
However, I really like the idea of raids following suit with the random dungeon finder and think blizzard would be wise to make it a priority. I have a lot of friends who would like to see raids, but there is still the hurdle of finding a group and getting in there. This process can take over an hour, of spamming, reading trade chat and the end product is no guarantee of the group even getting off the ground.
This has become worse with the introduction of the random dungeon finder, both because the raid browser is harder to find and trade chat has become the new looking for group. Maybe also more people just decide to do random dungeons instead because it is so much easier to get into a dungeon.

Using GoDaddy DNS with HerokuPublished: December 9th, 2009
Have you seen Heroku yet? If not, go check it out. Heroku is amazing and I've been obsessing about their platform for the past couple months. Here's a way to use it with GoDaddy's DNS.
The Problem
For a small side project I needed to point my domain at GoDaddy to the Heroku servers so my domain would be properly mapped. The usual way to go about this is to delete all DNS information in your GoDaddy DNS Panel and then add a cname record for "www" that points to "proxy.heroku.com" - great! Now what about the top level domain? A records only point to ip addresses so you can't point it to proxy.heroku.com - DOH!
The First Solution
The solution to this in the past was to type "example.com." (note the period at the end) and then point it to proxy.heroku.com; however this no longer works. GoDaddy strips the period at the end of any value for a cname record. So what's the official solution? Forwarding. You can setup forwarding so that example.com points to www.example.com.
This may not be the best solution. I'm not a DNS expert by any means but it will get you the above functionality described. If there's a bad reason to do this can anyone shed some light?
The Other Solution
The other solution is typing "host proxy.heroku.com" and grabbing the 3 ip addresses that it outputs and then creating an A Record for each ip. This works but then you don't get the benefit of the ip addresses being provided for you through a proxy (which is damn cool).

Rod? This feels more like a ball.
Gintoki and Tsukuyo
└ Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be such a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice.
That's how it should be.
I was doing some research on tsukky
MY OTP LIVES ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
My Gintama ships
Want to escape from here...right now, just the two of us?
Chapter 440 was enjoyable for a lot of reasons, and had a lot of surprises. None more so than this:
Tsukuyo is a virgin! Well, I guess that makes sense. She did abandon the path of the courtesan to become a warrior. But this makes past actions with Gintoki even more significant! Let me show you…
At the end of the Red Spider arc, we see Hinowa trying to trick Gintoki and Tsukuyo into relaxing and spending a little quality time together. :D Notice what she tells Tsukuyo:
All she was told was she was needed to help out. She only had to pour drinks, that's as far as she had to go. But when she see's the "customer" is Gintoki, what does she do?
That's right. Hops right into bed and offers him her body! Knowing what we know now, that means Tsukuyo wants Gintoki to be her first! Oh, Tsukky, your feelings are so obvious. I hope Gintoki returns them someday. :)
I see what you did there, Tsukuo.
Can you guys just start making Dia and Block

'Snow plow' parenting: Helping kids?
Move over, Tiger Moms -- a new parenting trend prevents children from failing.
First there were Tiger Moms. You may recall the extreme style of parenting made (in)famous by Amy Chua's best-selling book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.
Then hovering 'helicopter parents came on the scene -- the overly-involved, control freak style of child rearing.
Now, an all-out mommy war is brewing as a brand new moniker of parenting style comes under attack, "snow plow" parenting.
More from MSN Living: How dogs make our lives better
According to an article on ABC7 San Francisco's website, "the 'snow plow' parent pushes life's obstacles out of his or her children's way."
Instead of parenting from a place of healthy involvement, these parents try to eliminate potential roadblocks and pave a straight line to their kid's success.
More from MSN Living: 15 amazing, inspiring baby nurseries
In the ABC7 story, one mom talks about how she used her "snow plow" powers when her son was going out for a basketball team.
"I brought lemon cupcakes to a baseball practice once and realized the coach doesn't like lemon. So I went home and baked vanilla cupcakes and brought them to his house that evening for his family to share," she was quoted.
In San Mateo, Calif., Aragon High School athletic director Steve Sells tells ABC7 it's apparent in sports, "A lot more money is spent on club activity outside of school," he was quoted. "And a lot more in the way of private lessons."
Kids are pushed to succeed in one sport, and as a result, Sells sees over-use injuries at a young age.
"They're teaching their children a terrible lesson," Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, Ph.D., told ABC7. "If you're not good at something immediately, get out. It's humiliating to be a novice."
In the grand scheme of growing up, what happens if your kid doesn't get to experience the thrill of winning and suffer a few hard knocks along the way?
Do you think "snow plow" parenting helps or hurts children?

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 12.03.2012
- ISM Manufacturing
- The ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Manufacturers Index (PMI) decreased 2.2 percentage points in November to 49.5 percent (from 51.7 percent in October) following two consecutive months of being above the growth threshold of 50.0. It has also fallen below its 2012:Q3 average of 50.3 percent. This is the lowest the PMI has been since its July 2009 level of 49.2 percent. The only increases occurred in the production (up 1.3 points to 53.7 percent), import (up 0.5 points to 48.0 percent), and supplier deliveries (up 0.7 points to 50.3 percent) components. These modest gains were offset by the decreases in the other components. Specifically, new orders shed its recent gain in October by decreasing 3.9 points to 50.3 percent, but still managed to maintain its third consecutive month above the growth threshold. Prices paid also decreased by 2.5 points to 52.5 percent, its fourth consecutive month above 50.0 percent. The employment component decreased 3.7 percentage points to 48.4 percent, its lowest level since September 2009. This is also the first time the employment index has dropped below 50.0 since October 2009.

TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Rick Scott is telling the state employees whose jobs may be among the most vulnerable that he's all about creating private sector jobs.
Scott visited the Department of Community Affairs, the agency whose functions he hopes to move under the Department of Environmental Protection, and later took questions Tuesday from employees who were clearly worried about their jobs.
He said he'd try to help anyone whose job is lost find another elsewhere in government. He also said the state needs to cut down on rules and regulations to attract companies to Florida.
The Department of Community Affairs is responsible for making sure the state's growth management laws are followed. Scott said companies are frustrated by the state's permitting process.

Jerusalem, 1948. On her way to work, Hind Husseini comes across 55 orphaned children in the street. She takes them home to give them food and shelter. Within six months, 55 had grown to almost 2000, and the Dar Al-Tifel Institute was born.
At the age of 7, Miral was sent to the Institute by her father following her mothers death. Brought up safely inside the Institutes walls, she is naïve to the troubles that surround her.
Then, at the age of 17, she is assigned to teach at a refugee camp where she is awakened to the reality of her peoples struggle. When she falls for political activist, Hani, she finds herself torn between the fight for the future of her people and Mama Hinds belief that education is the road to peace.

2011 Guide Analysis: "After a steady trajectory of increasingly impressive features with "Basquiat," "Before Night Falls" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," this fourth film from rising filmmaker Julian Schnabel was highly anticipated as it went into production, so much so it easily slotted into plum bows at the Venice, Toronto and London Film Festivals last year where it was one of the hottest tickets. While festivals can make films, they can also break them and in the case of "Miral" the film simply couldn't live up to the lofty expectations put on it after the multiple award-winning 'Diving Bell' surprised the world.
Reviews called it well-intentioned and ambitious, but over reaching and emotionally shallow. Schnabel is tackling a full-blown epic look at the Palestinian struggle from 1948 until the mid-1990s, but the result is "plodding at times, choppily edited and unevenly performed. It has very little of the aesthetic polish of Schnabel's earlier work" said one reviewer.
Others shared similar sentiments, calling it more of a history lesson than an involving story where the structure lets down solid performances and oddly out of place cameos by the likes of Vanessa Redgrave and Willem Dafoe simply distract. Still, this is a perspective on Middle Eastern history and an attempt to humanise the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which Western audiences rarely get a proper glimpse of, even when it's delivered without the panache of a filmmaker's best efforts."

The Internal Revenue Service is headed for another public pounding today as multiple controversies are combining to besiege the U.S. tax agency.
The House Ways and Means Committee will air complaints from small-government groups that received extra scrutiny when applying for tax-exempt status, received inappropriate questions or had confidential information revealed.
Meanwhile, an inspector general's report will detail about $50 million in spending on IRS employee conferences.
Daniel Werfel, the acting IRS commissioner, tried to blunt the growing criticism yesterday, saying he wants to identify the IRS's deficiencies and repair broken public trust. In turn, he got an earful of complaints along with some sympathy from House members who showed few signs of easing up in their probe.
"I don't know whether to admire you or pity you, because you have the weight of the United States Constitution on your shoulders," Representative Steve Womack, an Arkansas Republican, said at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing in Washington.
The controversy that erupted last month pushed the IRS from disliked to despised, especially by Republicans who see a pattern of misdeeds against their allies. Six congressional committees have opened investigations, the Justice Department is pursuing a criminal probe and the inspector general continues its inquiry.
$1 Billion Increase
The tax agency is seeking a 9 percent, or $1 billion, budget increase, in part to handle its enhanced responsibilities under the 2010 health care law.
That funding request, already in jeopardy because of budget constraints, is now imperiled. Werfel, who was much more deferential to lawmakers than his predecessors were in previous hearings, talked about working with lawmakers to make changes and improve oversight of the agency.
Representative Hal Rogers, a Kentucky Republican and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said he was considering fresh restrictions on the IRS's budget.
"The power of the purse rests in Congress," Rogers said. "We're prepared to use that purse to get to the truth."
Werfel said he supported the budget request. He also said he wouldn't seek additional money right now for the exempt organizations' office at the center of the controversy.
"If you start with more money, it's the wrong starting point," he said.
Extensive Delays
The IRS, rarely popular with lawmakers, revealed May 10 that it had subjected groups with the words Tea Party and patriot in their names to tougher scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Those groups, according to an inspector general's audit, had extensive delays and some received inappropriate questions. The IRS apologized.
Werfel, who has replaced several senior IRS executives, said he has asked for a plan by the end of the week for processing the remaining delayed applications.
J. Russell George, the inspector general, said he has been unable to determine who first came up with the idea of tougher questioning for these groups based solely on their names. Employees in the Cincinnati office where the applications were processed didn't identify who had begun the practice.
"I'm frustrated too," Werfel said. "I want these facts to emerge quickly."
Representatives of small-government groups from South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and California are scheduled to testify at the Ways and Means hearing today.
Parody Video
Also set to speak is Sue Martinek of the Coalition for Life of Iowa, which was asked by the IRS not to picket at Planned Parenthood Foundation of America as a condition of receiving tax-exempt status. John Eastman, chairman of the National Organization for Marriage, is scheduled to talk about confidential documents from the anti-same-sex marriage group that were sent to the IRS and then released.
The anticipated release today of a report on IRS conference spending -- including on a Star Trek parody video -- is adding to the ire directed at the agency. The report is expected to show $50 million in such spending over three years, including $4 million for a 2010 California conference at which some IRS employees stayed in presidential suites and listened to a $17,000 speech on "leadership through art."
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which will hold a hearing on the conferences June 6, released those details.
Werfel said in a statement May 31 that the IRS has restricted conference spending and that the 2010 event couldn't happen again.
George said yesterday that a whistle-blower within the IRS alerted his office to the conference spending.
"It seems we have a new misstep every day at the IRS," Rogers said. "I'm very troubled at what may come to light next."

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that propagates the definition of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) on the whole local area network.[1] To do this, VTP carries VLAN information to all the switches in a VTP domain. VTP advertisements can be sent over ISL, 802.1Q, IEEE 802.10 and LANE trunks. VTP is available on most of the Cisco Catalyst Family products. There are three versions of VTP, namely version 1, version 2, version 3.
The comparable IEEE standard in use by other manufacturers can be implemented with GVRP or the more recent MVRP.

Recently Dave MacLeod returned home to Scotland after what must be described as a very successful trip to Switzerland, where he repeated boulder problems as hard as 8C.
Now he reveals, part of the reason he went was he wanted to compare the Swiss problems to his own The Natural Method on the Skeleton boulder at Glen Nevis, which he had made the first ascent of shortly before after several years of on and off work.
Dave MacLeod on the first ascent of his new boulder problem The Natural Method
UKC News, May 2012
© Dave MacLeod (Screen shot from video)
Dave's conclusion is interesting to say the least:
There are quite a few problems around Scotland now which are a lot harder than both New Base Line [8B+] and Mystic Stylez [8C] which I climbed in Magic Wood recently.
Because of this, he decided to give The Natural Method, the hardest thing he has done this year by a mile, 8B+ instead of 8B(!).
It would seem Scotland is then home to several of the hardest boulder problems in the world.

Romesco sauce originates from Tarragona, in Northeastern Spain. It is said that the fishermen of the area made it to eat with fish. It is great with seafood, but is a tasty sauce to accompany meat and vegetables as well and is a popular sauce in Spain. Roasted red peppers combine with ground almonds, olive oil and vinegar to make a smooth, rich sauce that tastes great simply spread on a slice of rustic bread.
In Spain, during the springtime, salsa romesco is served as an accompanying dip for calçots, a spring onion typical to Catalonia, during traditional springtime calçot barbecues called "calçotades". During calçotades, calçots are roasted over an open fire until their outer layer is charred. The charred layer is then removed and the tender part of the onion may be dipped into the romesco.

If you think art of war procs will somehow create a harder rotation in Ret PVE, you don't know Ret. I can count on an AoW proc by the time exorcism would be worked into my rotation. In fact someone looked at the numbers and now Ret will have an actual rotation. It's a hell of a lot simpler than Enhance and will have no priority list once eastablished, just hit what come off Cd next. AoW is so likely to have procced fro exorcism that it is essentially a non-issue.
Net result: Ret does more PVE DPS, less burst in PVP (with no healing debuff or other tricks so it is the weakest of the healers) and protection loses a mobility threat and pick up tool.
I had to use exorcism a good 15 times on Ignis last night. He kept running away and so I'd hit him with it or AS before hitting the next thing in rotation. That or while running out of scorch I'd hit it, since he was out of melee then too. I am going to miss it. Especially since I could care less about it as Ret. It uses spell hit and so I either get more hit than needed for melee or deal with it missing a lot.

The key ingredient to wealth
By Matt Hern on August 2, 2007
Hi Imagine for a minute that you're on a ship sailing the seas; perhaps a cruise along the Alaskan coastline. The ship hits an iceberg, starts taking on water and the Captain announces "abandon ship – everyone to the life boats". Traditionally, who are the first to be saved? The women and children. But why [...]

Absolutely you can! You can achieve whatever you want, and there is lots of evidence to that effect. [...]

Saving for your children's education
By Matt Hern on September 26, 2006
Research suggests that the cost of raising children can be about a quarter of a million dollars per child over their lifetime. When you add private school fees to the mix (and every associated expense), you can probably increase that by another 50% or more. So it is a wise idea to plan ahead and incorporate future education expenses in your wealth creation plans right from the day the "c" word enters your relationship conversations.

Welcome to landscape photographer/Ohio native, Kim Parsell , our featured photographer of the day. Kim has been shooting landscapes for over twenty years, and has amassed a tremendous body of work.
Most of the images were taken either at my farm or the surrounding area over the past few years. I am very partial to sunrises and sunsets, but there are also some scenic shots, as well as images of the wildlife that happens to wander into my yard from time to time. I will also be including images from interesting places in this area, or places that I've traveled to.
I'm self-taught, and have done extensive research, gleaning helpful information from everything I've read. But the best teacher, for me, has been pure experience – take the camera out the door and see what the world has to offer me that day, then shoot. Some images have turned out great, some okay, and some got filed away, never to be looked at again. But I learned something each time that hopefully will improve the shots I take the next time I go out.

Provide near-term opportunities for flight and scientific advancement,
Enhance continuity of investigators within microgravity by providing near-term access to a microgravity environment,
Sustain "readiness" by maintaining active participation of the investigator base,
Demonstrate NASA commitment to support microgravity activities, and,
Provide Shuttle-based gathering of fire safety information that will be needed in support of ISS outfitting."
The conclusions in this Phase 1 Report are based on NASA's Space Shuttle and ISS planning that is currently in a very high state of flux. NASA's response to the reluctance of both the Administration and the Congress to fund the latest ISS cost growth projections has not yet solidified. When these plans are firmly established, certainly in time to influence the findings and recommendations of Phase 2 of this report, the conclusions and recommendations currently held by the joint NRC/NAPA Task Group on Research on the International Space Station may well take a new direction. However, one thing is clear. The erosion of the microgravity research community has begun. It will accelerate if flight opportunities and research capabilities wane. Action is required if the nation is to maintain a strong, viable, worldclass, microgravity space-based community.
The Phase 1 conclusions basically agreed to by the NRC and NAPA task group members examine a set of boundary conditions and propose action based upon each.
Assuming Assembly Sequence F schedule and capability are achieved, then:
If ISS development monies were to be the funding source for additional microgravity shuttle flights, no additional shuttle flights should be planned for microgravity research.
If funding were to be provided from new sources, it would be highly beneficial to fly annual flights.
Assuming Draft Assembly Sequence G schedule and reduced capability are implemented, then annual shuttle flights devoted to science should be flown until the ISS reaches research capability planned for assembly complete under Sequence F.
As stated throughout this report, there are many serious issues facing the ability to conduct microgravity research. The Task Group realizes that adding Shuttle flight(s) could have a negative impact on ISS assembly. However, if the ISS operability dates continue to slip, and microgravity research capability is reduced significantly, then Shuttle flights may well be the only opportunity for research in a microgravity environment for the better part of this decade. If the nation does not maintain its microgravity research community throughout the first part of this decade, it is entirely possible that when the ISS is finally ready the ability to conduct world-class research will not be there.

Georgia State defeated VCU, which made it to the Final Four last year, 55-53 on Wednesday in Richmond. It was the Panthers' 11th consecutive win, extending the school record. GSU is off to the best start in school history and will face George Mason on Saturday in Fairfax, Va.
Before the season, not knowing what was upcoming, this gauntlet of Drexel, VCU and George Mason figured to be an 0-for-3 stretch. The three teams were predicted to finish atop the CAA, while the Panthers were selected 11th.
Now, Georgia State is atop the CAA after defeating the Dragons and Rams, with the Patriots up next. Another win and you just might see the Panthers in the Others Receiving Votes section of the AP Top 25. I say might because the team's strength of schedule, whether you like it or not, is still fairly low.
But, what a difference a year makes. The Panthers won 12 games all of last year, and were hammered by 17 points in last year's trip to VCU.
Recapping the win over the Rams:

From the research I have done it seems mobile enclosures figures all the different types of enclosures for his price and then helps you decide on the one that would work best for your setup. But I could be wrong, but that's the way it looked to me.
doubt you'll find anyone to do a design for a 6th, as they're more of a build and tweak type of enclosure IMO.
Do some research to get basic design info and go from there. Assuming it's a wall I'd build the shell big, so you have room to play with both sides, port opening, tuning, ect...

A regulatory inspection was done while chemotherapy drugs were being watered down by a local pharmacy.
The Ontario College of Pharmacists did a routine inspection this past January of Marchese Hospital Solutions, which is located in Mississauga and run by the award-winning pharmacy on James Street North.
From Feb. 24, 2012 to March 20, 2013, diluted chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide and gemcitabine were given to 1,176 patients in London, Windsor, Peterborough, the Oshawa area and Saint John, N.B.
"The challenge is that it's possible to do a thorough inspection of that practice and that doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to detect an error," said Lori DeCou, spokesperson for the college, speaking generally about pharmacy inspections.
The college accredits the province's 3,500 community pharmacies and inspects them every three to five years. It also regulates the pharmacists who mix the drugs.
The college didn't discover the problem with the chemotherapy drugs. Instead, a Peterborough hospital pharmacy worker noticed by chance one of the bags looked too full.
"I will trust that the college is doing what they're supposed to be doing," said NDP health critic France Gélinas. "I hope they're doing their job."
Cancer Care Ontario, the provincial government agency that oversees the health system and the college, both set rigorous standards for preparing drugs, said Zita Astravas, spokesperson for Health Minister Deb Matthews.
"Drugs prepared on site within a hospital pharmacy are subject to multiple process checks throughout the compounding process including calculation checks, visual inspection, volume checks and formula checks."
Marchese president Marita Zaffiro, a past Hamilton citizen of the year, has refused repeated interview requests by The Spectator. In a statement earlier this week, she said the problem was in how the hospitals administered the drugs and not in how they were prepared.
"We are confident that we fully met all of the contract requirements including both volume and concentrations for these solutions."
The NDP called Friday for an independent investigation headed by Ontario ombudsman André Marin. His office declined to comment on whether he's considering looking into the issue.
Premier Kathleen Wynne promised Ontario will appoint an independent third party to do a review. The college is already doing its own review with help from Health Canada.
One of the key questions is how much the bags were overfilled.
Dr. Bill Evans, head of Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, says a certain degree of variation in the volume of the bags is allowed. That's why Hamilton Health Sciences weighs all premixed bags received from suppliers.
Zaffiro maintains the bags were within the allowed variance. However, she has not provided contract information to back that up. Medbuy, a company that purchases drugs for the hospitals, also wouldn't release details of the contract.
Evans says the bags became overfilled when the drugs were put into a bag of solution – usually saline. Normally, the equivalent amount of solution is first removed so the volume of the bag doesn't change.
"That is the piece that wasn't done," said Evans.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Public Safety has released the name of a woman who was found dead inside her home on North Church Street Sunday afternoon.
Detectives have ordered more tests to try and determine what killed 52-year-old Rita Kay Williams, after an autopsy apparently did not reveal an immediate and obvious physical cause of death.
They are now calling a 28-year-old man from Benton Harbor who was the last to see her alive, a "person of interest" in the case but they won't be able to hold him without producing a formal charge.
The news release says it will take 6 to 8 weeks to get lab results from the autopsy back.
They say they won't be releasing any additional information for now.

Rusty made me laugh with this one. If you haunt and track jihadi websites, you'll already know that she's become a familiar face.
But Will made me laugh harder with his summary of Hesbah forum commentators' disbelief in the news that Gulbuddin Hekmatyar would cut a deal with the Americans:
Ha hahhahaaa!
Meanwhile, in the real world, the lines between piracy in the Gulf of Aden, geopolitical chaos on the Horn of African, and AQ activity in Yemen are blurring by the week. Armies of Liberation reports on AQ and piracy activities in both countries, including the seizure of a Turkish chemical tanker. In the same post there's a squib that holds very ominous news for anyone with a sense of strategy:
A Somali Islamist militia seized a key port town Wednesday, giving it control of most of southern Somalia and sidelining the weak government. The capture of Merka, 56 miles from the capital, Mogadishu, means the hardline al-Shabab militia now holds both major ports with airstrips south of the capital.
So now AQ's group in Somalia has control of two port towns This could give them a strategic advantage in the Gulf of Aden piracy operations too. We may actually see an increase in piracy over the next year with an even greater portion of the loot going directly to AQ.
In related news, War is Boring reports on a "thousand-ship navy" in the Gulf of Aden. Information Dissemination suggests that the situation is bad enough to effect Christmas-gift related imports from India:
I don't really know where to go with this, and I doubt the video game crowd in Europe has considerable political clout to influence policy anymore than what the EU is already doing, but it is interesting the shipping market is using the Santa Claus will be late this year angle to emphasize how frustrating piracy has become for them moving near the coast of Somalia.
Expect the Obama administration to take up the Aden issue early.
An excerpt from "Islamic Responses to Europe at the Dawn of Colonialism."
A discussion on the eschatology of radical Islam.
Could Qaradawi's Shia problem (so ably reported at the Shack) have its source in a family psycho-drama? MEMRI hints. Or is this just a little Persian love tap on the Sheikh?
Let's see: there's a sword: check. a book: check. two rifles: double check. and those ever-present black flags: check. I could have designed it better.
Another one? Sigh.
I like OSINFO blog. They often post excellent work in OSINT methodology, but this link chart is not one of them (it's like the Anti-Tufte). But they redeem themselves with this post:
I've argued before that al-Qaeda's grand strategy uses terrorism in the service of a 'constructivist' mission: spreading and deepening Islamic identity among Muslims, defining this Islamic identity in very specific salafi-jihadist terms against the competing definitions offered by other Islamist groups, and establishing that Islamic identity requires costly participation in a very specifically defined jihad.
Note to Mr. Aardvark: it's called dawah.
Yeah, they were there, according to this report. I'm convinced that if we hadn't invaded Iraq and torn down that regime, we would have seen Saddam Hussein set up Afghan muj training central (with the usual complicity from the Iranians) in the heart of the Middle East. He would have become AQ's best friend. If you take into consideration all the accounts of young men mobilizing in Pakistan in late 2001-02 to fight Americans in Afghanistan, add to it an active Iraq, and it may have been the case that we would have lost Afghanistan by now.
