In response to:
Van Jones, you aren't even American, you are African, or as you say an African American, and a huge racist. What is that? African American?? No such thing. I'm from Polish ancestors, but I don't call my self Polish American!!! I'm American, Period, and proud of it!!! But not you. You attack the US people, Constitution, and rights, every time you open your mouth. How about you go bact to Africa, a place you know nothing about, have never been or seen.
In response to:
Bloomberg makes up their own poll results, just like BO and the current administration. The Germans, under Hitler, called it propaganda.
Elizabeth Warren, you are as much Indian as I am Martian. Oh, and you are a liar. If you had any honor, at all, you would resign immediately.
In response to:
Issa and the Congress needed to take off the kid gloves long ago, and quit playing with this criminal! He's stalling because BO is involved and he is protecting him. Send Holder to jail, then BO, and lets quit playing with these criminals!!
You are just another big mouthed liberal drinking the liberal coolaide.
So Warren is a LIAR. So what?? When has that stopped BO in the white house?? Fact is, the majority of Americans do not bother to check anything they are told. They take it for granted. After all, the president wouldn't lie would he? What is that? He would? You are a racist!!
In response to:
Socialism always tries to simplify things by using the"All eggs in one basket" plan. The government controls, runs, and rations out the health care in Grease(lol). The government is broke and has no funds to run itself or the country. The people are all out of work (The few that do work) so there is no tax money. Of course the health care system has crumbled. There is no government or money to run it. So, this is what BO has in store for us in the US. Lovely. Impeach him now!
In response to:
Censorship plain and simple.
Why is Congress wasting our tax dollars $$$$, and their time on this guy?? This is just another stall technique we've seen time and time and time and time... well, you get the picture, again! It is perfectly clear by his letter above, that he is telling Congress, again, 'I've given you all I'm going to give you.' Prosecute this guy already!!!!!! He wouldn't hesitate to do the same to a Republican or Conservative if they were in his shoes.
In response to:
Americans, especially those that live in NYC, sicken me. NYC people should be lighting torches for illegally usurping their Constitutional rights and freedoms! Yet, there they sit. Ho, hum. Let the little dicktator do what ever he wants. We're just ignorant, defenseless subjects. I've served my country in the Air Force for 25 years and all of you, especially Bloomberg, sicken me!
Sorry! lol I get a little angry watching all of these self centered socialists living high on the hog from our beautiful, capitalist, exceptional nation, all the while spewing hatred for America and Americans.

"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."
"Perfect for classroom valentine exchange!!! My daughter loved handing these out and her friends loved receiving them. We ordered inexpensive peace sign pins to put in the envelopes."
"This card was a favorite among family and friends! My little boy loves to dress up as a super hero so this was the perfect way to capture his personality and send a valentine. Everything about this card was precious and perfect!"
"This card was obviously perfect for my 5yo son, the one who loves to play at being a chivalrous knight, right down to calling Mama "my lady." Your Sir Adorable or Prince Charming, the one who kisses the girls or is there to play groom when they want to play wedding, will love a card that is sweetly romantic while still being kid-friendly--and BOY-friendly."
"This is a cute card that isn't overly cute. The train is perfect for that 2-4yo train-obsessed preschooler in your home. My 3yo son took these to daycare and they were a hit, both with his picture to personalize it and the train design kids respond to--without it being yet another commercial character."

Nine years old (born 10 September 1956), 137 centimetres tall, with ear length, sun bleached fair hair, which was pushed back with a fringe in front. She was possibly wearing a tortoise shell hair band with a yellow ribbon. She had a thin face with freckles and hazel eyes, and two prominent front teeth. She was well spoken but stuttered when excited.
On the day in question, she was wearing green shorts over pink bathers. Her shoes were tartan canvas sandshoes, with white soles. She should have been carrying three towels, a green airways-type bag, a white purse, and a paperback copy of Little Women.
A letter written by Jane Beaumont two days before her disappearance shows her to have been a responsible, intelligent girl.
Dear Mum and Dad, I am just about to go to bed and the time is 9. I have put Grant's nappy on so there is no need to worry about his wetting the sheet. Grant wanted to sleep in his own bed so one of you will have to sleep with Arnna. Although you will not find the rooms in very good condition I hope you will find them as comfortable as we do. Good night to you both. Jane XXXShe had missed topping grade four at Paringa Park Primary School by only half a point. She was also capable of looking after her younger brother and sister, sometimes acting like a mother to them. A warm and friendly child, she was much shyer than her siblings.
PS I hope you had a nice time whereever you went.
PPS I hope you don't mind me taking your radio into my room Daddy.
Seven years old (born 11 November 1958), 122 centimetres tall, with a plump build. She had dark brown hair with a fringe, and a sun-tanned complexion. She also had dark brown eyes.
On the day in question, she wore tan shorts over red and white bathers which were either checked or striped. She also had tan sandals. Arnna had completed grade two at Paringa Park Primary School.
Four years old (born 12 July 1961), 91 centimetres tall, thin build, and brown hair with a fringe. Like his sisters he had brown eyes. He was very sun-tanned and had an olive complexion.
On the day in question, he wore green cotton shorts over green bathers which had vertical white stripes. He was wearing red sandals.

NAEP: A Third of HS Seniors Lack Basic Civics Knowledge
Though 4th graders and Hispanics have improved over the years, those about to graduate from high school score poorly on knowledge of civics and government.
The report issued by the National Assessment of Educational Progress finds that students of all ages have poor knowledge of how the democratic process works, The Christian Science Monitor reports. Although there was some improvement among fourth graders and Hispanic students, overall, civics scores declined for all levels — and in 12th grade in particular.
In a mix of multiple choice and short answers, the test covers topics such foundations of the US political system, the role of citizens in an American democracy and foreign relations. Of the high school seniors taking the exam, only 24% got scores of "proficient" or better. This is a slight drop over the last time the civics test was administered in 2006. Just 4% scored at an advanced level, while 36% didn't have even the basic understanding of civics.
"Knowledge of our system of government is not handed down through the gene pool," said retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, speaking at the report's release. "What these scores tell us is that we're not doing well enough in educating young people about our government and how it works."
The NAEP results were most encouraging for 4th graders, whose average score rose by 4 points compared to their 2006 results. Hispanic students also showed improvement since 1998; they improved in fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades. The percentage of Hispanics scoring at proficient or better has gone up from 50% 2006 to 56% in 2010.
The achievement gap still remains. While 37% of white fourth-grade students performed at or above a proficient level, just 12% of black students and 10% of Hispanics scored at a similar level. When looking at the lower end of the achievement curve, the results are even more stark: Only 13% of white students score below basic knowledge, while 38% of blacks and 42% of Hispanics receive similar scores.
"The need to focus on who is getting what learning opportunities is key," says Joseph Kahne, director of the Civic Engagement Research Group at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Professor Kahne says his research shows that high-achieving and white students are far more likely to get the "best" civics education – debate opportunities, service learning, simulations – than lower achieving or minority students, despite evidence that such students benefit enormously.

Marcus Morris #15 and Markieff Morris #11 of the Phoenix Suns push Nick Young #0 of the Los Angeles Lakers after he reacted to Alex Len #21 (second from left) for a flagrant foul during the first half of the NBA game at US Airways Center on January 15, 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona. Young was suspended for one game.
On Wednesday night, Nick Young was upset that none of his teammates had his back against the Phoenix Suns.
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers were thankful no one left the bench or rushed into the skirmish because the NBA suspended Young for one game. If the Lakers had lost another player or two, they may not have had enough bodies to suit up against the Boston Celtics on Friday.
With the Lakers already thin due to injuries, Young's suspension hits at a particularly difficult time. The Lakers are on the second game of a marathon seven-game road trip, and LA has lost six games in a row. Young's suspension thins out a back court that was already without Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Kobe Bryant, Xavier Henry and Jordan Farmar.
No coincidence, the Lakers announced the signing of Manny Harris to the team on Thursday. Harris was signed to a 10-day contract after leading the NBA D-League with 30.6 points per game. After the Lakers cut Shawne Williams, LA had an open roster spot for this type of occasion.
For the Lakers, Harris is the second D-League call-up of the season. After Kendall Marshall was brought in to provide emergency relief at point guard, Harris appears to be an emergency option at shooting guard.
With Young suspended, Jodie Meeks was the only available shooting guard on the roster for Friday's game in Boston. With Meeks moonlighting as the backup point guard, the Lakers truthfully only had two guards available to play in Boston prior to the Harris signing.
Harris is a scorer, and the former University of Michigan Spartan lays claim to two of the top five scoring performances in the D-League this season. With a 10-day contract, the Lakers will have five games to evaluate Harris before making a decision on his future with the team: at Boston; at Toronto; at Chicago; at Miami; and at Orlando.
Considering the thin back court, Harris should be thrown into the deep end from the get-go. Even if he swims, he is not expected to be able to save the Lakers from drowning the season.

He was only 23 years old when Pet Sounds came out:
Huey Long filibustered for 15 hours and 30 minutes on this day in 1935. As he held the Senate floor, he read the entirety of the US Constitution, offering detailed analysis on each section, and then turned to reading out Shakespeare, among other things.
Wolfram|Alpha calculates that he could speak roughly 139,500 words in that time, which means he could comfortably have gotten through the following:
Huey's efforts to retain his stranglehold over Louisiana failed that day, and his power would come to a permanent end that year as he was assassinated in Baton Rouge by a political enemy.
Yesterday we shared a blog post about tonight's transit of Venus.

Here are a few blog posts that we think are particularly interesting:

The Borg are coming. You're joining the fleet at Wolf 359 to try and stop them. How fast do you need to go to get there in time?
First, find out how fast you need to go in terms of the speed of light:
Second, convert that into warp speed with Wolfram|Alpha's new converter:
Wolfram|Alpha determines you would need a warp factor of 7.818 to reach Wolfram 359 within 3 days.
As to what happens when you get there, we can't help you with that. Best of luck.
If you take the total amount of water on Earth and divide it by the world population, that equals about .204 cubic kilometers of water per person.
Just how much water is that? Well, it is about .6 times the volume of oil transported by oil tankers worldwide in a year:
But what about just the fresh water?
Planning on seeing The Avengers this weekend? Us too. To celebrate, we have assembled some Avenger themed fun facts.

Ultrabook Update from Intel is Quiet on the Price!
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on August 4, 2011
Intel recently put out a blog update about the upcoming Ultrabooks and on first-pass I wasn't able to see anything new to report. A second look this evening has me wondering why there's some important information missing. But first, the update.

Back on the 'home front', the 'new' Golf Diesel hasn't really had a taste of what is to come, and I am actually going to Spain in someone else's vehicle, but once the season starts I am hoping to see the benefits of that better fuel consumption. In the meantime I am amazed at the performance of the diesel, almost as good, if not better in some circumstances, than the VR6, but somehow it hasn't got the same character – or 'grin factor'. Just too d…d efficient, no hooligan element! (And black is a s-d to keep clean this weather!) Ah well, better go and check the anti-freeze in all the cars and then pack my sunglasses and sun cream.
News Update Nov 2012
Rumours of my retirement are greatly exaggerated! Due to popular demand (well from some people!!) far from retiring (I wish), we have some exciting new plans for 2013! We will be branching out onto the continent and into Ireland.
The first event is really for the 'petrol heads' who want more adventure than luxury. The Caledonian Classic and Historic Motorsport Club are organising the Glasgow start of the 2013 Monte Carlo Historique, and to make it more of an occasion want as many cars as possible to pass over the ceremonial start ramp in Glasgow. Therefore they are also organising a purely touring run to follow this iconic event with various options as below. CCT(MK) will not be involved in the actual organisation but we can arrange entries and accommodation for anyone interested.
Our other venture onto the continent is our own MONTJUIC REVIVAL TOUR.
The first Montjuic Revival Meeting takes place in Barcelona in December, and while we may make a recce visit there this year, we will not have time to organise a full tour. However we should be in a better position for the 2013 event next December. The provisional idea at the moment is to spend 3 or 4 days driving down through France and on to Barcelona. Three days in Barcelona watching the 'racing' and Christmas shopping, before a two day run across country to Santander for the ferry home. We hope to have more details soon. Regular customers are welcome to join us on this 'recce' trip as long as they accept it is not a tour as such.
Our other major 'overseas' event is the Tour of South West Ireland. Our last Irish Tour was to Northern Ireland and ever since then many people have asked for a southern route. So that is what we have planned for 2013. The ferry will be included in the package but there will only be one option, probably Holyhead to Dublin. If a different crossing is more convenient for you then you will be free to organise that yourself.
Other new events include the New Forest-Isle of Wight Tour which opens our season in April. This isn't entirely new as we planned to do The New Forest part last year but had to abandon it due to the tanker drivers strike. The Isle of Wight is new to us, as is the following event the Tour of Wessex. We were so impressed with the Dorset countryside on our 2012 Devon and Dorset Tour that we thought it warranted some further exploration. Also, the hotel we used in Sidmouth proved so popular we felt it would make a good base for touring some of the areas we missed last time.
In May we make our annual pilgrimage to 'Bonnie Scotland' but this time we return to the West Coast after the 2012 trip to the Orkneys. We will cover familiar ground on the Isle of Mull, and return to Arran for the first time for a few years and stay overnight. There will be new routes on the way and on the Mull of Kintyre.
The Circuit of Britain is a new version of a '1000 mile tour' we previously considered. It will actually take in most of the National Parks in England and Wales as well as visiting some areas, such as the Cotswolds, where we haven't really been before. There will be the option to do sections of the route as a separate tour.
The High Roads Tour is something we have done before but we will have some new routes in the Dales with different themes, e.g. The Little Devils Tour will follow the route of a previous Kirkby Lonsdale Motor Club 'Devils Own Rally', another day will feature 'superlatives'!, i.e. the highest railway station, the highest main road, the highest waterfall and the highest market town, and there will be the 'Bar T'at and Bronte Tour' which will visit Ilkley Moor and Howarth Parsonage.
The Autumn Tour will be slightly different with just one day in the Lakes and several in the Borders and an area we haven't used before, the Wigtown peninsula in South West Scotland.
In order to keep my recce costs down on all these new routes I have reluctantly parted with my trusty old VW Golf VR6. With 186,000 on the clock and approx. 27mpg, I'm afraid she just had to go. Instead I have purchased my first ever 'oil burner'. First impressions, after only a couple hundred miles are very, very favourable. M.P.G. is almost double – driving steadily, but it still goes incredibly well – it is a Golf GTDi. I must still say that the VR6 was the best car I have ever owned and the diesel is a case of head ruling heart for once in my life. However I am pleased to say, (fingers crossed) my other toys, the RS2 and the Alpine are both going well and providing the smiles per miles.
I hope I have wetted your appetite and that you will have plenty of smiles per miles in 2013. New brochures should be in the post before Christmas.
If I have really wetted your appetite there is one event I haven't mentioned. The 'Stuff the Turkey'. This is a one day "Treasure Hunt" event based at my local pub. If you fancy a couple of days away from the Christmas excesses I can arrange accommodation either at the pub (Station Inn) or the Crooklands Hotel, 4 miles down the road. If just one day isn't viable I may be able to organise a short run to a place of interest such as the Lakeland Motor Museum, the next day, depending on the weather.

But in amongst all this I am delighted to say that I have got the Alpine back on the road. Oh ye of little faith!, it does exist and here are some pictures to prove it!. There are still some minor details to sort out but in general I think she is looking good. The new colour looks even better out in the sunshine – so lets hope we have some! The plan was to use the Alpine on the Isle of Man tour but with barely 20 miles under her belt so far and a niggling carburettor fault it might be wise to roll out 'Old Droop Snoop' (RS2000) again. After all, the Isle of Man is legendary rally country so the Escort might be more appropriate. The Alpine should make the last two tours of the year though, the Northumberland/Borders and Lakes Autumn – spaces available on both at the moment!
Recent feedback;
Hi Mike, Just a short note to say thank you for another lovely time in the north east. Even the car breaking down didn't spoil it thanks to your care and attention.
It was a really magical trip and that scenery was stunning! Looking forward to the next one in October. Regards Sue and Tim.
Dear Mike,
Thanks Mike we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We really appreciate all the time and work you must put in to ensure such a high quality event. For us, it`s the ideal way of having a holiday.
Best regards, Marie and Roger.
It has been a very busy time recently. I returned from a very successful Scottish Tour to have one day at home before going off to Wales to finish the route notes for that tour next week!
The weather was very kind to us in Scotland – not so much of the 'Vivaldis' this time. The week started cold and cloudy but got better day by day. It never quite got up to the balmy temperatures of the recent heat wave but this probably helped the visibility. In crisp bright weather Scotland looked its best from Glen Shee to the Orkneys and back to Loch Ness. Even the Pass of the Cattle was blessed with sunshine and the coast above Applecross looked magnificent. The tranquil seaside coffee stop at Shieldaig was so idyllic many people didn't want to leave – ever! With three nights at the charming and peaceful Coul House Hotel, north of Inverness, many people didn't want to leave there either. The splendid MacDonald group of hotels provided accommodation for most of the other nights and so the combination of fantastic scenery and sumptuous living made for a tour which will be hard to beat. And that is the sentiment of the participants;
Thanks Mike we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We really appreciate all the time and work you must put in to ensure such a high quality event.
For us, it`s the ideal way of having a holiday.
Best regards,
Marie and Roger.
Firstly a big thank you from Chris and I for yet another superb tour, routes, hotels, food you even organised a calm crossing to and from Orkney!!!! everything SPOT ON!!!!!!!
Derek/Chris Tucker
Very many thanks for a fantastic tour, we very much enjoyed it. Super driving roads, great hotels, good company and superb organisation, everything we needed to make a perfect tour.
Book us in for Mull next year.
Best regards

The best Scottish Heineken Tour to date, reaches the parts other tours never see, fantastic! A tour to include in everyone's 1 of 100 things to achieve before popping ones clogs.

April News Update
Apparently some of my customers have re-named my company as "Vivaldi Tours" – because we seem to get all 'Four Seasons' on each one! This was certainly the case on my recent route noting trip to
I was somewhat dismayed to wake up the next morning to a complete 'white out'. I still had some of the highest roads in
Unfortunately, I still had to miss one bit of route due to road works. The diversion took me 20+ miles out of my way. We will just have to see what happens on the day but I have noted the diversion just in case.
The rest of the trip was relatively un-eventful with a lovely crossing to and from the Orkneys. There were some big hailstorms while I was there but "it never stuck"! The Orkneys are certainly different, and not like any other part of
I also called in at Coul House on the way back. Some interesting new lager/beer and an absolutely superb meal bode well for our three nights there.
The journey home should have been very pleasant as again I was favoured with bright sunshine but again it was a road closure that spoiled things. The main A82 down Loch Ness was closed necessitating a massive detour. I did not make notes of this as it was due to an accident, so hopefully we will not encounter anything similar next month.
I am pleased to report that all remaining tours now have enough bookings to make them viable, although there is plenty of room for more bookings. The Welsh and Dales Tours are in quick succession after Scotland so if you are contemplating booking it would make my life easier if you did it sooner rather than later! All this 'high living' sampling hotels for your benefit is OK, but then I have to spend days typing up the notes and sorting all the paperwork and then planning the next recce. I have said it before --- it's a hard life etc.
March/April 2012
PHEW! That was a fraught week or so, wondering if the petrol drivers strike would happen and if the panic buying would mean I would have to cancel the first tour of the year, THE DEVON AND DORSET TOUR. As a precaution I cancelled the first day in the new forest and then the strike was called off, but it was a close run thing!
In the end we need not have worried, we had no problems with petrol at all throughout the route.
Unfortunately the same could not be said about the weather. The first two days were run in clear blue skies although temperatures had dropped considerably from the previous week, but many crews still managed to go 'topless'. Wednesday morning was a little damp but the visibility for the run along the North Devon coast was good and there were some stunning views as we made our way through the 'Valley of the Rocks' and Porlock Toll Road. We left Porlock Weir after lunch in heavy rain but were a little surprised to run into snow on Exmoor. The higher we went the worse it got and visibility was zero. The roads were passable and the sun came out by the time everyone returned to Barnstaple.
The following day's route over a different part of Exmoor wasn't troubled by snow – just fog! So again there was no visibility. This means I am going to have to run this tour again next year on the principle of "third time lucky". I was slightly consoled by the fact that a local crew said I couldn't have picked a better route for views – if we could have seen them. Ah well, you can't win them all, and the weather is very difficult to organise!
Next up is Scotland with a full entry and then Wales followed by the Isle of Man. There are still places for the Welsh Tour but the Isle of Man is filling up quickly so if you are thinking about it, get your booking in now!
A couple of weeks ago I managed to escape from the dull, grey north to the sunny south. Whilst I completed my final recce for the Devon and Dorset Tour in fantastic sunshine, it was bitterly cold. I called in to see a few old friends and customers and they all assured me it wasn't normally this cold 'down south'. One of them even e-mailed me the week after to say I wasn't welcome back again as the day I left the sea froze over!! They all assured me it will be positively balmy in April – just like I assure everyone it never rains in the Lake District? The only place I had trouble was Exmoor where week old snow had frozen solid, thawed to slush and frozen again. Discretion proved to be the better part of valour and I abandoned this bit of the route and turned for home. This wasn't a problem as it was a section of route previously used on a GWR Tour so it wasn't vital to drive it this time. Mind you, whilst I had a perfect run home and encountered no traffic or weather problems between Bath and Kendal (on the same day Heathrow was closed), I was a little shocked to see the road through my own village had snow several inches deep at the sides and neighbours informed me I would have struggled to get home 24 hours earlier.
I was pleased with my recce and found some really good driving roads and some stunning views. The early part of the route has so many places of interest it is going to be difficult to keep to any sort of schedule. Participants will have to keep an eye on the time and the distances still to travel. Talking of participants, I am pleased to say 12 cars are booked for the Devon and Dorset and there may be one or two just doing the New Forest section on Sunday.
The Solway South West and Highland and Orkneys is now fully booked. All other tours are starting to fill up, so fingers crossed, it looks like a busy year ahead.
PLEASE NOTE – Photo ID is needed for everyone crossing to the Orkneys.
On a personal note, I competed on an Historic Rally in Scotland last weekend and I'm delighted to say we came away with a Class win! So the RS has redeemed itself and ensured a place in the garage for the forseeable future. The weather was absolutely glorious and the scenery around Pitlochry was stunning. Although the Scottish Tour passes through this area and I did a little recce-ing, I unfortunately didn't take my camera so I have no photos – participants will just have to wait and see.
The Alpine has passed an M.O.T. but I haven't put it on the road yet. I hope to have it going soon and if it seems reliable may use it on the Devon and Dorset Tour. Watch this space for some photos once it is out on the road.

The heart of downtown Atlanta is a foodcourt, scattered parking lots and buidings with no retail on the groundlevel. I just saw an aticle in the Atlanta Business Journal that indicated some 75k people will be coming to downtown hotels for a medical convention…the article said that in the past Atlanta was passed over becuase people were bored downtown, but now that downtown has been revitalized and has, I quote, "so many new clogged eateries" the convention will be held downtown.
I went to Underground on New Years Eve and after the peach drop there was absolutely nothing to do downtown, except the Hard Rock Cafe and Hooters.

Why don't all of you people that hate this city go back to the places you came from. If you all actually lived in Atlanta and not the burbs you might like this place. I have a great time in this town, but thats because I am good looking, fit, and have money.LOL LOL. Go back to the North East with your ugly women and bad attitudes.

Lots to do? You left out muggings. But seriously, there is nothing to do in this crappy town unless you like to eat, shop, or watch others (probably why Atlanta is so fat). Can't wait to get back out West, you Atlantans are clueless.

I play a hunter, and we're capped at 1.5 sec gcd. If your class is same then popping your haste cooldowns (Rapid Fire, Engineer gloves, speed potions) with Herolust, you can get casts that take ridiculously less time to complete than your global cooldown (0.7 sec casts etc). So in SOME cases, it's best to save haste cooldowns for after herolust. However it's always a good idea to use SP/Crit/AP/DMG cooldowns with herolust.
These days, most dps trinkets in ICC are proc based with internal cooldowns, I like to save my speed pots & rapid fires & engineering gloves for those procs, when no other haste buff is available. but that's just me

The Svetlana 6L6 Medium tubes have the classic Sylvania STR sound.Soft, medium, and hard style descriptions refer to break up modes of the tube for an overdriven guitar signal. Soft-rated tubes break up easier and have the least headroom, yielding a heavier, harder distortion. In comparison, hard-rated tubes must be driven harder to yield a distortion which typically ends up being thinner and warmer sounding distortion, while medium-rated tubes fall in between.

Krishna Cafe photography group on Facebook. Private group sponsored by Daniel Kramer of Rice Glassell School of Continuing Education.
Started taking photos with a Kodak bought with Green Stamps. Have taken thirty years of bad photos. Kids are off at uni now so I'm in a new phase of life and want to improve my skills as well as explore more of Texas, U.S. and the world.
I loved the idea and was able to do this on my own, just wish I'd have found the group.
I am interested in helping out with the Special Pals.
Pass on the contact info to me and I would be happy to help out.
Jamie, thank you for your comment on my "Bridge" photo.
I really enjoy your capture of the Buffalo Bayou bridge. You've demonstrated the sage adage that it isn't the camera, but the photographer!
Hey Jamie, hope you'll share what you are learning at Rice with the group. Would love to talk with you.
Hi Jamie,
I too had a Kodak Instamatic purchased with S&H Green Stamps and I also live in Katy. MY youngest is attending college in San Antonio. I have a Canon Rebel XSI. Perhaps lunch one day?
Hi Jamie!
Welcome to our group! We are just getting started with this local branch of Arthritis Introspective. We are planning a fundraiser later this month to raise money for the Gathering taking place in March of 2012. The majority of the money raised will go towards scholarships for people that need monetary help to attend.
We will also have a local Meetup soon, for all of us to finally meet each other!
I'll have more info later.
Thanks so much for joining our group!
Welcome, Jamie. Hope to meet you soon at one of our events!

What's so offensive to you about someone who would rather learn a trade or skill or run a family business than study?I grew up in a blue color town, and most of the kids that didn't go to college didn't pick their career b/c they loved it. They picked it b/c they didn't see alot of other options and couldn't afford college. They thought a certain job paid pretty well, or knew someone in a union who could get them a job. What's so offensive giving them the opportunity to pursue higher education? If they wanted to go into military service, learn a trade, take off for the high seas, or anything else, more power to them, but it should be by choice.
In what way does that person fail to be a sufficiently productive member of society for you?Like I said, higher education isn't the only way to better yourself, but it does have a pretty decent track record.

Eliza Gilkyson
|Eliza Gilkyson
Gilkyson at the New Bedford Summerfest, 2006
|Background information
|Birth name
|Eliza Gilkyson
Hollywood, California, U.S.A
|Years active
Eliza Gilkyson (born in Hollywood, California about 1950) is an Austin, Texas-based folk musician. She is the daughter of songwriter and folk musician Terry Gilkyson and Jane Gilkyson. She is the sister of guitarist Tony Gilkyson, who played with the Los Angeles-based bands Lone Justice and X.[1][2][3] She is married to scholar and author Robert Jensen.[4]
Eliza Gilkyson first recorded as a vocalist on demos and soundtracks produced by her father, who wrote several hits in the 1950s and early 1960s and is also known as a singer-composer for 1960s Disney films. She released Eliza '69, her first album, in 1969 while raising a family in Santa Fe, New Mexico and did not come out with her second, Love from the Heart, until ten years later. She moved to Austin, Texas in 1981 and released the commercial album Pilgrims before moving to Los Angeles in 1987.[1]
After a brief stint in LA, she moved back to New Mexico in the early 90s, releasing several albums of original material. In 1993 she collaborated with New Age artist Andreas Vollenweider on his recording, Eolian Minstrel.[1]
Gilkyson has been with Red House Records since 2000, though she also worked on three albums independently, recording on her own label, Realiza Records. In 2003 she was inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame. Eliza's third album with Red House Records, Land of Milk and Honey was released in 2004 and was nominated for a Grammy.
In 2005, she released Paradise Hotel with the song "Requiem" about the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in December 2004. Coinciding with Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the Gulf Coast region in August 2005, this song found its way to listeners as a song of prayer and comfort. The same year she was recognized with 3 Austin Music Awards and 4 Folk Alliance Music Awards, one of which was for her song "Man of God" about the Bush administration.
In 2008, her album Beautiful World came out, again on Red House Records. The songs vary from pop to folk and points in-between, with songs ranging from intimate ballads to rallying cries against the imperialist machine. She recently collaborated on a new album entitled Red Horse with two of her Red House Records label-mates John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky.
In 2011, she came out with Roses at the End of Time. Recorded at her home with the help of her son and co-producer Cisco Ryder Eliza took a longer time in the studio and came out with a more eclectic and personal album. She continues to tour about 150 dates per year in the United States and overseas.

As you'll recall from Monday, we are this week taking a second look at Carlsbad Caverns. This time, however, we're relying upon advances in digital photography to produce handheld images that were all but impossible just two years ago. Whereas my July 2011 photoblog on Carlsbad relied upon techniques for taking long exposures without a tripod, on this trip I instead relied upon the Handheld Night Scene mode built into the Canon G1 X.
Most of today's pictures are of the Big Room — the largest portion of the caverns. The hallmarks of the Big Room are the immense columns reaching high above the cavern trails and the "Top of the Cross," the point on the ceiling of the cavern that is the highest above the Big Room floor. "Top of the Cross" is an intimidating 255 feet (78 meters) above, and one shudders when looking at photographs of the spelunkers who hung suspended beneath it during an expedition back in the 1970s.
As always, just click on any of the images below to bring up an album showing enlarged versions:

MADISON (WKOW) -- It's not luck bringing smiles to Madison children, but a leprechaun is involved.
Joe Herr, known around town as "Sean Patrick" the leprechaun visits children in hospitals and schools on St. Patrick's Day. While "Sean's" job is to put smiles on their faces, Joe's job is to build home modifications for children with special needs. He formed his foundation, Logan's Heart & Smiles, in honor of his own son.
Logan was born on August 24, 1997 with cerebral palsy and died at age four with complications from pneumonia. His memory lives on through Joe's work to help other children.

Card Tips:Tour Guide From the UnderworldTalk0
75,842pages on

this wiki
- This card can be searched by "Vampire Dragon", "Sphere of Chaos", "Serpentine Princess", "Mystic Tomato", "Chaos Zone", "Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss", "Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World" and another "Tour Guide".
- Use this card and the monster it Special Summons to easily Xyz Summon a Rank 3 Xyz Monster.
- You can then use "Versago the Destroyer" with "Dragon's Mirror" or "Dark Calling" for Fusion Summons after it has been used in the Graveyard.
- Use this card in a "Crashbug" Deck for better manipulation to allow faster Summoning.
- This card is useful when attempting to Summon "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms".
- Use in a "Resonator" Deck to Special Summon "Resonators" on to the field and thin the Deck.
- This card is useful in "Fabled" Decks. Use its effect to Special Summon "Fabled Kushano", then use both cards to Xyz Summon "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon", then use its effect to send "Kushano" to the Graveyard. Once "Kushano" is in the Graveyard, use its effect to discard your "Fabled" monsters and initiate combos.
- This card can also be useful in a Deck with Ritual Monsters, as it can search out "Djinn Releaser of Rituals" and allow an immediate Ritual Summon of "Herald of Perfection", allowing you to lock out practically everything your opponent could do short of Normal Summons before they even have their first turn.
- This card works well in a "Dark World" Deck, because if you have "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World" in your Graveyard, just Normal Summon "Tour Guide" to Special Summon "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World" from your hand or Deck, then return it to your hand and Special Summon "Grapha" from your Graveyard. Alternatively you can overlay "Tour Guide" and "Broww" to make "Leviair the Sea Dragon" to take your pick of any monster banished with "Gate of the Dark World".
- Alternatively, you can also use this card in conjunction with "Tour Bus From the Underworld" in a "Dark World" Deck to either return a monster you're afraid your opponent may Special Summon from their Graveyard to their Deck, or to return an additional monster to your own Deck as well as Special Summoning a previously banished from the game "Dark World" monster when using "Leviair".
- Use this card with "Tannhauser Gate" to Xyz Summon "Constellar Ptolemy M7" and return "Tour Guide" to the hand with the effect of "Ptolemy M7".
- You can Summon this card while you have "The Seal of Orichalcos" to Summon a monster with the same ATK so you can not be attacked.
- You can combo this card with "Genex Ally Birdman" for greater versatility. Use this card's effect to Summon a monster, then use the effect of "Birdman" to return this card to your hand. Because "Birdman" is still a Level 3 monster, the player can perform an Xyz Summon with "Tour Guide". On the next turn, "Tour Guide" can be used again.
- Alternatively, the player can also use this strategy to search out any Level 3 Fiend-Type monster they wish and bounce it to their hand for later usage, without losing the ability to Xyz Summon. If the player uses this card's effect to Summon a second copy of itself, the player can use the effect of "Birdman" to return the second "Tour Guide" to the hand, allowing the option of using "Birdman" and the second "Tour Guide" for a Level 6 Synchro Summon, with the second "Tour Guide" ready for next turn.
Traditional Format
- This card can be searched by "Sangan", "Last Will" and "Witch of the Black Forest".
- The following monsters can be Special Summoned by the effect of this card:

7 Stocks Rising on Huge Volume
Body Central
Body Central (BODY) is a specialty retailer of young women's apparel and accessories operating retail stores in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the U.S. The stock is trading up 6% at $22 in recent trading
Today's Volume: 162,000Average Volume: 179,674 Volume % Change: 64% This stock is spiking nicely higher today after the company reported that net revenues for the third quarter jumped by 17.9% to $67.1 million, which was well above $56.9 million for the same quarter last year. From a technical standpoint, this stock is bouncing hard off its 200-day moving average of $20.65 today on high-volume. The stock has also started to challenge two key breakout levels during intraday trading, at $21.49 and $22.08. >>Does Technical Trading Really Work? Market players should now watch for a sustained move and close above both of those levels to indicate a much bigger move higher is in the cards. If we see a high-volume close above those levels and today's high of $22.95, then look for this stock to setup to challenge its next significant resistance levels at $24.43 and $26.30.

There is no greater symbol of the Filipino Christmas spirit than the parol. All through the Christmas season, star-shaped lanterns can be found hanging outside homes and along the streets.
For Filipinos, making a parol, decorating one and lighting a parol is an expression of shared faith and hope. Originally, the 'parol' was used to light the way for people going to churches to attend the dawn mass which begins on the 16th of December up to Christmas Day.
The traditional parol is shaped as a 5-pointed Star Lantern that is made of bamboo sticks and colored plastic materials. There is sufficient space in the middle for the light bulb.
Buy our "Parol Do-It-Yourself Kit" Pay Only USD15.95 PER PIECE. Make Your Own "Parol" This Christmas!
Each kit includes ten pre-cut bamboo sticks, pre-cut triangle-shaped plastic materials, ample string, and an Easy-to-Follow Instructions on how to make your own parol.
Step 1:
Make a V-shape with four sticks. Place the ends of 2 sticks with smooth sides up, over 2 sticks with smooth sides down and tie them with 8 turns of string, 1/2 inch from the ends. Form a "V" by separating 2 sticks having opposite sides.
Step 2:
Insert 2 sticks to the "V", overlapping as shown, and then tie with 8 turns of string at joint 2.
Step 3:
Insert 2 sticks between joints 1 & 2, overlapping sticks as shown,
then tie at joint 3
Step 4:
Between joints 1&2, insert two sticks, again in overlapping pattern. Now tie the ends at joints 4 & 5.
Step 5:
Align the frame to make a symmetrical five-sided star.
Step 6:
Insert the posts at five points by pulling apart the star frame. Tying with string is not needed as the tension of the frame will hold the posts in place.
Step 7:
Glue the plastic cut-out parts (triangle-shaped) into the frame until you have covered all the bamboo sticks.

Jewish tradition emphasizes the importance of good deeds, of tikkun olam or "repairing the world." Without doing our part to "repair the world," even in small ways, we have not fulfilled our responsibility.
Read Whole Story
I want to encourage us to seek deeper within this classic prayer and gleam from it eternal truths of spirituality and personal growth. Christ always had great purpose in all he shared with his followers, we see this in the parables and bold statements he made.
No prayers are adequate. In truth, there are no words for such a situation. And so we -- clergy, friends, and loved ones -- usually think, "What am I supposed to say?"
Over three days during Lent this year, the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles -- a community of Catholic nuns -- quietly assembled in their priory to record an extraordinary album of sacred music that has topped the charts since its release.
Just as New York has an abundance of cultural events, it has an extraordinary range of spaces to accommodate them--many of which are houses of worship.
She is a child who has not only been raised in the traditions and tenets of the Catholic church, but raised to think and to question, raised to believe that all people are created equal, including gays and women. When I see her hold that cross proudly and walk down the aisle, it gives me hope.
Treasuring the freedom that allows us to honor our unique ancient traditions while keeping up with the times, we propose adjusting these special Sundays in the church year.
The liturgy of Trayvon Martin reminds us that in our quest for justice against all forms of injustice and prejudice we must remain sweet, not bitter, lest we become what we oppose.
The life of faith is a love story. And in my life, the lyrics of many love songs have helped me to grow in love with God.
The Jewish concept of repentance is called Teshuvah ("return" in English) and one of the critical aspects of repentance is the act of confession.

Are Brakes Supposed to Sound Like That?
Most people do not know how to repair or replace their vehicle's brakes, but with a little instruction, most people can assess whether or not there is a break in their brakes.
Determining car problems can be challenging, if you've had no training. When certain items on your car break, like a door handle, you may be able to postpone the repairs. However, brakes require immediate attention. Some people avoid repairing/replacing their brakes in an attempt to get more mileage out of them. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Brakes should be replaced the moment you suspect there is something wrong with them. A good practice is to make sure your brakes are examined, whenever you have your car serviced.

Using Pedestrian Count Models to Estimate Urban Trail Traffic
AbstractMany cities are developing multiuse urban greenway trails to be used for recreation, exercise, and transportation. Analysts need many kinds of data about these new trails, but especially trail traffic because of its implications for the efficient allocation of resources for trail management. This paper addresses this need by presenting new information about the use of trails. We adapt and test the validity of a previously reported model that predicts hourly pedestrian crosswalk volume from shorter sampling intervals, and we apply the model to greenway trails. Based on 166 hours of data collection on an Indianapolis, Indiana trail system, we develop expansion equations for sampling intervals of five, ten, fifteen, and thirty minutes. We find that both the equations from the previous study and our new equations provide reasonably accurate hourly predictions. Trail managers can use these findings to make decisions about current trail maintenance and promotion.

Accused shooter testifies in Florida loud music murder trial
A middle-aged software engineer accused in the 2012 shooting death of a teenager during an argument over loud rap music in Jacksonville, Florida, testified on Tuesday that he thought he was "going to be killed" and acted in self-defense.
"I was in fear of my life and I was probably stunned," said Michael Dunn, 47, in his first day on the witness stand, where he broke down in tears several times.
Dunn is being tried in state court on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of firing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle tied to the November 23, 2012 shooting that killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
Dunn told the jury he opened fire because he thought Davis had a shotgun and was exiting his car to kill him.
"I thought I was going to be killed," he said.
The incident occurred at a gas station, where Dunn and his fiancée stopped to buy white wine on the way back to their hotel after attending the wedding of Dunn's son.
Dunn, dressed in a white shirt, green sweater and tie, choked up during the questioning on Tuesday. He said the music from a red Dodge Durango parked at the same gas station grew "really loud" after his fiancée went into the store.
"My review mirror was shaking, my eardrums were vibrating. It was ridiculously loud," Dunn said.
"I said, 'Can you turn that down please?'" he testified. "They turned it off. I said thank you."
But Dunn said the young men in the Durango soon began using expletives and then turned the volume back up.
"I start hearing things like F-him and F-that," he said. "It was mean-spirited."
Dunn's attorney, Cory Strolla, told the jury in his opening statement that Dunn opened fire only after seeing what looked like the barrel of a gun or a lead pipe through the Durango's back passenger window and that he was acting in self-defense as Davis was about to get out of the car.
Police found no weapon in the Durango after the shooting.
In an effort to bolster the state's claim that Davis was not acting aggressively and posed no threat, prosecutors on Monday showed the jury photos of Davis's body in what the medical examiner described as a defensive position. Assistant medical examiner Stacy Simons on Monday said Davis was leaning away from Dunn when the bullet entered his body.
The case has drawn comparisons with the prosecution of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012. In both cases, the victims were black teens killed by men who said they believed their lives were in danger.
Dunn testified on Tuesday that he asked the teens to turn down the volume and thanked them when they complied. Soon after, Dunn testified, the teens turned the volume back up and he heard one say, "I should kill that (expletive)."
"I was in fear for my life, but I wasn't to the point where I was ready to use deadly force. I was just going, 'Oh my God, where is all this hostility coming from?'" Dunn said.
Davis appeared to lean down and pick up something which he said he thought was a 12-or 20-gauge shotgun, Dunn said.
"I saw sticking above the windowsill about four inches of a barrel," Dunn testified.
Next, he said he heard Davis pop open his door.
"As his (Davis's) head clears the window frame, he said 'this shit's going down now,'" Dunn testified.
"What went through my mind is, 'This is clear and present danger and you are not going to kill me, you son of a bitch.' I said that as I was retrieving my pistol," Dunn testified.
He pointed his pistol, but did not aim, before firing, he added.
On the drive home, Dunn said he tried to reassure his fiance that they were in no trouble with police, although he said he told her, "We might be in trouble with the local gangsters."
"Again. I knew I had done nothing wrong," Dunn said.
