The Neighbourhood set for new tour (Updated 1/23/14)
The Neighbourhood is coming to your neighborhood. The band has announced a North American headline tour set for the spring of 2014. The dates, which will follow select UK dates with The 1975, kick off March 7 in Phoenix, Arizona and will see the band crossing both the U.S. and Canada through early April.
Comprised of vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, and bassists Mikey Margott, The Neighbourhood broke out with hit singles "Sweater Weather" and "Afraid" from their debut album "I Love You." "Sweater Weather" climbed the charts all the way to the top in June 2013, and was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 1 Million units. It also had one of the longest runs on the 2013 radio charts. The follow-up single "Afraid," was praised by Billboard for its "edgy, subtle hooks" and quickly moved into the Top 5 at Alternative Radio.
Over the holiday season, the Neighbourhood released two new tracks for their fans, "Unfair" and "Silver." But things weren't all rosy for the band heading into the New Year. In early January it was announced that drummer Bryan "Olivver" Sammis had parted ways with the group (though Sammis said on his Tumblr account he still intends to make music).
The Neighbourhood recently performed at The Grammys Gig of a Lifetime Concert. The event took place January 23 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles and was broadcast during GRAMMY Live, a digital experience featuring streaming events and exclusive coverage around "Music's Biggest Night."

Denzel Castile still wore dark blue scrubs inmates at the Erie County Jail who have been placed on suicide watch wear while incarcerated.
He said only one sentence during the brief hearing, where his attorney, public defender Jeff Whitacre represented him, entering not guilty pleas to aggravated murder, felonious assault and assault on a peace officer.
Late Thursday night, police arrested Castile after witnessing him wrench his infant cousin, Athena Castile, away from family members and stab her several times in the midst of a chaotic scene at his grandparents Dewey Street home.
Though police and paramedics rushed the infant to Firelands Regional Medical Center, she died of the wounds about two hours later.
Police had to subdue Castile with a taser gun and pepperspray before they could handcuff him, and at the hospital, he bit a deputy's thumb so hard he broke skin.
In court Monday, nearly 40 family members and friends appeared for the short hearing, tearful as Judge Erich O'Brien read out loud the charges filed against him.
His bond was set at $1,025,000.
For details on how the crime has affected Castile's family and the community and efforts to come together in the face of such tragedy, pick up Tuesday's copy of the Register.

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
I purchased my 2007 Infiniti in January of 2008 with a set of Goodyear Eagle GT II with 24,000 miles on them. The ride was firm but very noisey. At 35,000 miles I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S after a coworker told me how excellent they were on his Camry. I have to say my friend was right. The Michelin's are a great improvement and very quiet! They handle great in wet weather and stop on a dime. This is by far the best tire on the market for my car,

Beyonce, World Humanitarian Day: Singer Unveils 'I Was Here' Video, Urges Fans to 'Do Something Good'

10:40.Florida Senator Marco Rubio takes a break from delivering the Republican response to take a drink of water…
10:38. Rubio said that the economy shrank during the last three months of 2012. And, according to the government's first read, it did. But first reads are almost always revised, and trade data released last week strongly suggested the -0.1 percent economic growth that was first reported will be revised upwards.
10:33. Gawker has a pretty awesome clip of Obama doing a fist-bump. But not any old fist-bump -- an explosive fist bump… with a Republican. Bipartisanship lives!
10:24. Don't leave just yet, though. We'll be following the Republican response.
10:17. Following the speech, CNN immediately switched to coverage of the manhunt for alleged murderer and former Los Angeles police officer Chris Dorner, before returning to analysis of the address.
10:16. And that's a wrap. Obama's address was interrupted by applause 83 times and the president received 31 standing ovations, according to a National Journal count.
10:15. "Gabby Giffords deserves a vote," Obama says. "The families of Newtown deserve a vote. The families of Aurora deserve a vote."
10:10. Obama tells the story of Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed just a mile from his Chicago home. Her parents are sitting alongside the First Lady;
10:04. Obama has recommitted the United States to fighting HIV/AIDS. Here's how the disease has spread over 20 years -- in 1 GIF:
9:53. Obama just called for an increase in the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour. The Department of Labor has laid out the history of minimimum wage hikes. Just six years ago it was $5.85.
9:54. Somebody ask for a GIF of Michelle Obama? Here i#mce_temp_url#t is.
9:49. The president's calls for a comprehensive immigration overhaul are getting bipartisan kudos. Here's why now could be the right time for reform.
9:48. Obama called for making higher education more affordable. Here, National Journal interviewed a college president who says the tuition arms race is just beginning.
9:47. Boosting jobs is a major part of this speech. Here's a chart showing job growth over the past few years:
9:41. Obama just called on Congress to send him a bill giving "every responsible homeowner in America the chance to save $3,000 a year by refinancing at today's rates." That's something he's been calling on for at least a year.
9:40. Biden's bespectacled notetaking FTW.
9:33. The Associated Press is reporting that Obama had lipstick wiped from his face as he walked in. Here's a clip of that:
9:29. President Obama just delivered a key quote of the night (one of the few the White House previewed ahead of time): "A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs – that must be the North Star that guides our efforts."
9:25. Paul Ryan, clapping with approval, seems unsure whether he should stand or not.
9:22. "The biggest driver of our long-term debt is the rising cost of health care for an aging population," the president just said. This chart from the Commonwealth Fund, as pointed out by the Washington Post shows how we compare to other industrialized nations:
9:22. Follow the president's speech with the full, prepared remarks.
9:21. The middle class plays a starring role in tonight's speech. Here's the president's eight-page "Plan for A Strong Middle Class & A Strong America."
9:18. Obama kicked off his speech tonight quoting one of his predecessors, John F. Kennedy. "The Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress," Kennedy said. The quotation came from his 1962 State of the Union address.
9:17. The first standing ovation of the night came after Obama was introduced.
9:16. Biden is wearing a green ribbon in support of Sandy Hook victims. Boehner, strangely, is not. Senators McCain, Schumer and Graham are sporting them, too:
9:14. Still clapping...
9:10. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States.
9:05. Biden is grinning like a madman. Boehner? Ehh, not so much.
9:00. How long is the State of the Union? More than 6,000 words.
8:59. First Lady Michelle Obama just walked in.
8:40. And they're off!
POTUS and FLOTUS just got into the Beast to head to the Capitol.When asked how he was feeling POTUS responded, "I feel great."
— Shawna Thomas (@ShawnaNBCNews) February 13, 2013
8:38. There's no more American way to enjoy a State of the Union than with a drinking game. If you're looking for something simple, just take a sip whenever you hear a cliche uttered. If you like your beer with a snark chase, then follow along with The Daily Caller. ("When the president says 'debt' or 'deficit,' take one of your friend's beers and promise to pay him back later.") If you prefer a more middle-of-the-road approach, The Washington Post has a game for you. And if you're not a fan of these types of things—but why would you be here if you weren't?—here's an anti-drinking game cocktail recipe from Vanity Fair.
8:30. Welcome to National Journal's live blog of tonight's State of the Union address. The excerpts are out and the results are in: tonight's theme will be jobs and the economy. Follow along here as the night unfolds.

Comments about Cowhide Personalized Leather Uptown Backpack:
I loved this bag the moment I saw it and it infuriates me to have to complain about it. I am terribly disappointed with this product. It is a beautiful bag to look at: the leather is exactly what I was looking for, the magnetic closure is awesome, plenty of pockets and zips--I love everything about it with the exception of the low quality leather and craftsmanship. The stitching fell apart on the pull string harness within a couple months, the bindings started shredding within 6 months on the front panel where it bends to open & close it and the right strap just ripped at a weak spot near the seam in less than a year. (Double click on the photo.) I use my bag as a purse and usually get at least 2 years of wear out of any leather bag before I have to have it repaired. It's a shame because it is a cute bag. Pretty, BUT awful. Hence, pretty awful.

Gary, Lake County-A semi rolling-over, this morning, caused the contents of its trailer to begin smoldering.
Master Trooper Lionel Douglas responded to a crash, this Thursday, February 14th morning, on the I-80 east bound to I-65 south bound ramp. Preliminary investigation revealed that at approximately 8:15 a.m., a 2001 Freightliner hauling a rail container, driven by Harry Boone, 46 of Harvey, Illinois, was in the right lane of the ramp when he went to change lanes to go into the left. Boone was going too fast to negotiate the curve, lost control and began to roll-over onto its side. The semi and rail container slid against the concrete barrier wall for approximately 600 feet. This friction caused the contents of the container, approximately 40,000 pounds of plywood, to begin to smoke and smolder. Gary Fire Department sprayed the contents inside the container down to put out any potential fire.
The semi, owned by 4K Cartage Incorporated out of Highland, Indiana sustained heavy damage. Boone had to be extricated from the semi and was taken to South Lake Methodist Hospital in Merrillville for non-life threatening injuries. He was cited for Speed Too Fast to Avoid a Collision.
The ramp from I-80 east bound to I-65 south bound was closed for over an hour for removal of the driver and up-righting of the semi and trailer.
Assisting: Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division Trooper Tim Grayson, Gary Fire and EMS, and Indiana Department of Transportation Hoosier Helpers

Charity Kit - Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
I so wanted to make this image large!! But my work computer just does not have an interface that allows me to paste the image. (toiny: I put in big image for you )
Is this not the most adorable kit you have ever seen in your life?? It is so perfect for all your storybook, sleeping baby, growing child, imaginery adventures, and more layouts that you make of your children as they grow! And that alone should be the reason you buy it! This kit is ONLY $3.50 For everything you get and its versatility, this is an incredible deal.
But that is not why I am posting this kit for you to see...
Most importantly. All the proceeds from the sale of these kits goes to an organization called:
This is an incredible organization that provides a gift to those in the most need. Grieving Families!
Here is a description of their purpose as copied from their website:
"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" is there for parents and families to help them in their healing, bring hope to their future, and Honor their child. It is through REMEMBRANCE that a family can truly begin to heal."
Their Mission Statement is:
To introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with a free gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family's healing process by honoring their child's Legacy.
Pregnancy and birth are miraculous journeys. This amazing time of life is full of mystery, anticipation, joy, hope, and wonder. Feeling the powerful energy of birth and new life, watching as a new family is born unto each other. These things humble and amaze. These are the things that we celebrate when a baby is born.
But there is another aspect of pregnancy and birth. There is an unexpected place in this journey where some families may find themselves. When a baby dies, a world is turned upside down. There is confusion, sadness, fear, and uncertainty that cannot be explained. There is sorrow where there should have been joy. During this time, it might be impossible for families to know what they might need in order to heal in the future.
This is the place where the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. The NILMDTS mission statement is to introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with the gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family's healing process by honoring their child's legacy.
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of more than 7,000 volunteer photographers in the United States and 25 countries. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby.
Our entire network of affiliated photographers graciously donate their time and talents to our families and we are proud to be able to offer our services at no cost. Your Donations are greatly needed and greatly appreciated.
Do you not agree that this is an INCREDIBLE organization?!?!? I guarantee you that there will be VERY few of us scrapbookers who have not been touched by such a loss. I alone have miscarried one of my children at 16 weeks, and my sister just Monday was told that the baby in her womb (20+ weeks) would not survive more than minutes after birth because it has no stomach and no kidneys.
As scrapbookers we can comprehend and understand the critical importance of what this agency does for these families!
This kit is ONLY $3.50 a small price to pay to support such a large and life changing gift. Can you not spare the change, to help with the healing of these families going through such a tragic loss.. Remembering that these will be their LAST photographs of their miracle and in the end they may not be able to use such a wonderful kit as this again.
Thank you so much!!
TJ - Trying to record every second of her children's life!! Visit My Blog, it might be updated...

Re: Charity Kit - Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
I have a personal history with NILMDTS. In 1996, we found out that we were going to have our second child, we had our first, Colt, in 1993. About 5 months into the pregnancy, we discovered that he did not have kidneys and he was diagnosed with Potter's Syndrome. Daniel was still born on October 30, 1996. The nurses were kind enough to take a couple of snap shots for us, which I really do treasure. The doctors told us it was a fluke and would most likely never happen again. Flash forward to 2006, we now had our third child, Riley (2003) and we were pregnant with our fourth child. Again, at my 5th month ultrasound, we discovered that he didn't have kidneys and would not survive. We carried Gabriel to term and he was still born on September 12, 2006. This time around an online friend told us about NILMDTS. A photographer came to our hospital room and took the photos. Such beautiful photos. She handled everything with such grace and respect and I can't tell you how much it meant to me as a parent to have those photos. Most parents take their babies and get professional photos done shortly after they are born. But for parents who have lost their babies, they don't always get that chance. These photos helped me so much during the grieving process and I treasure them. This is a charity that I love and believe in. It does so much good for grieving families. The photographers involved are all volunteers and do this out of the goodness of their hearts. They make no profit from these photos.
If you'd like to see examples of some of the photos that our photographer took, you can go to my old blog and read the birth story and scroll down to see the pictures. The professional photos are near the bottom of the page. I do feel that I need to give a warning that these are hard to view and that you need to remember that these are photos of a baby that had passed on and is no longer alive.

This charity is so deserving of this. All proceeds got to them and I can't tell you how much they change lives and help families in grief over losing a child. I do whatever I can to promote this charity and support it.
Re: Charity Kit - Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
This is wonderful! I wish I knew about them when my son was stillborn back in 2004. I do have some polaroid shots, but you know how those look over time.
Re: Charity Kit - Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
((((Angi)))) so sorry to hear about your loss as well.
Have you scanned in your photo's? Maybe with a little digital help they can be recovered a little? At least preserved so they do not fade more.
Lots of smooches for you.

Review the forum rules. Though forum rule 7 is relaxed for this thread, that doesn't mean the rest of the rules are. Familiarize yourself with them prior to posting or you will be infracted.
Additionally, we are now allowing you to post your World of Logs parses if you feel stuck with respect to your DPS. Please note you must follow the criteria listed here:
- The parse must be from a 10 or 25 man raid (non-heroic is fine). 5-mans and target dummies are not welcome.
- In line with this, you must be max level (85). We're not about to look over a log from a level 70 Sunwell run.
- Your profile MUST work. If you tend to change specs/log out in PVP gear please create a character profile through Wowhead or a similar site. That way if your issue is related to your gear, help can be provided. If your post is about an alt druid, you absolutely must provide an armory link/character profile or we simply can't help you.
- You must give a few sentences regarding what you think your problem is. Are you moving a lot due to fight mechanics? Do you perform some vital secondary role that may impact your DPS? (kiting, etc). We can't help you if you don't help us.
Please note that this thread is no exception to how the rest of our forums work regarding the fact that no one is obligated to help you. Do not bump, repost, or cry about it. You will be heavily infracted if you do.

Science Station
Now Open on Level 2
Everywhere you look, the human-made world surrounds us. But engineering marvels such as skyscrapers, airplanes and even your smartphone are under threat from a process known as corrosion.
The Science Center's newest exhibit explores what corrosion is, why it happens, how we can prevent it and how you can join the effort to conquer this silent menace.
- 3D Mapping: Thanks to projection technology, visualize how corrosion affects infrastructure including steel, pipes and signage.
- Cracking Under Stress: Test beam and truss shapes by applying weight and looking at them from polarized glass to see where they are most affected by stress and therefore more likely to corrode.
- The Case of the Cracked Crawler Shoes: Investigate real NASA artifacts and walk in the footsteps of a corrosion engineer to determine the cause of a corrosion incident.
- Careers in Corrosion: Hear from professionals in the field of corrosion engineering about their experiences and how they got inspired to address these problems and ensure our safety.
- Little Plates Reveal Big Secrets: Act as a corrosion scientist investigating samples of materials exposed in a corrosive environment to determine which materials and coatings provide the best protection from corrosion.
- CORRSim Junior: Take an (inter)active role in preventing corrosion by painting your bike and protecting it from the elements in this Kinect experience.
22 February 2013
Posted in Corrosion: The Silent Menace
Did you know that a large number of America's bridges are aged 50 years or older and suffering from corrosion. This quiet attack on our nation's infrastructure effects more than just our transportation.
For example, the 2006 Alaskan oil spill that let thousands of barrels of oil escape into the Pacific Ocean was caused by a dime-size leak. That leak was a product of corrosion that had affected more than 100 miles of pipeline.
Although these types of disasters may seem like freak accidents, the dangers of corrosion present a real threat in our day-to-day lives.

What Is a Pinched Nerve?
You may not realize that some common conditions are the result of a pinched nerve. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome may occur when muscles and tendons in the wrist swell from overuse, pinching the median nerve in the wrist. Herniated disks in the back can cause pain and disability because of pinched nerves. If a pinched nerve is left untreated, permanent damage to the area beyond the pinched nerve may result.
A system of nerves spreads throughout the body, so a pinched nerve can occur anywhere along the course of the nervous system. For instance, nerves run from the shoulders to the hands, down the legs, from the pelvis to the knee, and from the buttocks down each leg. Symptoms of a pinched nerve may not occur at the actual location where the nerve is compressed, but rather in an area some distance away. A burning feeling in your arm actually may be caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. Tingling toes may signify a pinched nerve somewhere in the back.
You may not be able to gauge the severity of the problem by the severity of your symptoms. Sometimes a symptom may go away, so it seems like the problem is gone. It may, however, mean that the nerve has actually become compressed completely, so the nerve can't function at all. Lack of nerve function may lead to loss of muscle function.
If you have symptoms of pain, burning, tingling, or numbness, or if you are experiencing muscle weakness, call your health care provider.
What can you do for a pinched nerve? Self-care measures may include:
Applying ice to the affected area
Taking anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Check with your health care provider to make sure it's OK for you to use these over-the-counter medications
Using a splint to immobilize the wrist if you have carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms; wrist splints can be purchased at a pharmacy or other retail stores

Dear Doctor Goon,
Recently I asked you how to scratch an itch in public without offending innocent bystanders. While I found you advice or "Just scratch that itch" to be informative and enlightening I have to say it might not have been the best advice I was ever given. I respect your opinion on the subject but I feel I was offered unsound advice if only from the stand point of some people just do not understand how much "nuts real can itch". So while I was in Florida I took your advice and "just scratched that sack" and here are my results of your advice.
I feel since no one proceeded in helping me in fixing my problem and I was charged with public nut scratching (which is a misdemeanor) that this thread should be closed on the account of unsound "ask Doctor Goon" advice. While I have to admit that I am skeptical of the actual fact the Goon is indeed a Doctor or even has held a position of public counseling, I am forgiving in the fact that I do not blame Goon for my nut itch phenomena. The itching sensation that I have endured is indeed not an artifact of Dr. Goons advice but my ill placement of my male parts into unsavory female organs. This is not the point I am trying to drive home, what I am trying to bring to light is the fact that Dr. Goon's advice of "Just scratch those Nuts" is not representative of sound nut advice when in public.
I would like to raise a motion to remove the Doctor status from a man who haphazardly throws nut scratching advice around like it is a small child on Sandusky penis, it just isn't right and I am here to tell you that nut scratching should and will always be done in the privates of the owners home and parts.
Dr. Goon's advice is given two thumbs buried in the nut sack and should be severely scrutinized by anyone needing or taking advice.
This is your public service announcement by NY8123.

Dr Goon, can you please itemize all the tell-tale signs which might give you a heads-up that a woman's time of the month is fast approaching? Also any guidance on how to deal with said condition would also be helpful. TIA

Off to Microsoft it goes....
lol that sucks man, luckily I haven't experienced this yet but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Actually had this happen to me three or four months ago. And I just let it sit worried I was going to have to buy a new one. I contacted microsoft about two weeks ago and sent it in and had it back in four days. Works great and it was fixed for free. Can't beat that.
Yeah, mine was gone for about 10-14 days, I don't remember. A lot faster turnaround time than the first time I sent it in to them.
i gave up and threw mine in the closet after the 3rd time. i may just sell/trade the hdd and peripherals to gamestop for ps3 stuff.
it started with the tuck rule.
if a Quarterback is attempting to pass he must have the ball tucked completely back into his body before it can be a fumble. This means even if he is attempting to tuck back into his body when he fumbles it is an incomplete pass.
It would be a lot smarter to simply call 1 800-4-my-xbox to have them fix it for free. Then if you really want to sell it and aren't just a PS3 fanboy trolling this thread you'll get more money out of it.
just fix it with a heat gun. takes longer to open the POS than to fix the GPU in it. you can find videos on youtube on how to repair and open it

Access to the skiing couldn't be easier, as the main high-speed Boisses 8-person gondola, opened just two years ago, takes you straight to a choice of chairlifts - one up to the Aiguille Percée, and the other to the top of the Chaudannes slopes above Tignes Le Lac. Or you can ski the leisurely blue down to Tignes Les Brevières and take the Sache cable-car up from there. You can also ski right back to the Chalet Hotel at the end of the day, and for access to the other Tignes villages of Le Lac and Val Claret, the free ski-bus runs until midnight. Le Dôme's en suite bedrooms all have a cosy, traditional feel and have been recently refurbished to the style shown above. The bar and lounge area have a log-burner and free Wi-Fi, making this the ideal place to relax, whether over afternoon tea, pre-dinner canapés and aperitifs, or coffee and a nightcap at the end of the day.

Launch Vehicle: V-2 rocket and WAC Corporal
Launch Site: White Sands Missile Range, N.M., and Cape Canaveral, Fla.
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) Cosmic Radiation Detector
White Sands Missile Range, Bumper Project Fact Sheet
Prior to July 1946, Major General H. N. Toftoy, then Colonel, Chief of the Research and Development Division, Office of the Chief of Ordnance, suggested the possibility of combining the V-2 rocket and WAC Corporal. This would provide a two-stage rocket capable of reaching heretofore unattainable altitudes and would greatly increase the possibilities of upper atmosphere research.
On 20 June 1947, the Bumper Program was inaugurated. This was a co-operative program established among the agencies responsible for the various phases of the basic programs. The purpose of this program was to investigate launching techniques for a two-stage missile and separation of the two stages at high velocity, to conduct limited investigation of high-speed high-altitude phenomena, and to attain velocities and altitudes higher than ever reached.
Over-all responsibility for these missiles was given to the General Electric Company and were included in the Hermes Project. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology was assigned responsibility for the theoretical investigations required, the design of the second stage and the basic design of the separation system. The Douglas Aircraft Company was assigned responsibility for the fabrication of the second stage, and the detail design and fabrication of the required special V-2 parts.
Thorough study was made of the problems and difficulties to be encountered and several methods of combining the rockets were investigated. In the design finally decided upon, the powder rocket booster, normally used to launch the WAC Corporal, was dispensed with in order to limit the size of the combination missile and to allow the smaller rocket to fit as deeply as possible into the V-2, and yet retain enough space in the instrument compartment of the V-2 for housing the indispensable components of the guidance equipment. Also fitted within the instrument section were the guide-rails and expulsion cylinders used as a launcher for the WAC Corporal. These cylinders were activated by means of a compressed-air-bottle through a pressure reducer and a solenoid valve. This valve was activated by the final cut-off signal of the V-2, causing the fins of the WAC Corporal to slide out of the three slots in the upper part of this warhead launcher.
Eight of these missiles were assembled during the Bumper Program and the first six were launched at White Sands Proving Ground. The first Bumper-WAC was fired on 13 May 1948. This was the first large, two-stage rocket to be launched in the Western Hemisphere. This first combination rocket had a short duration, solid propellant motor propelling the second stage and the WAC attained only slightly more speed and altitude than the V-2. The firing was considered successful in all details. The second Bumper was fired on 19 August 1948 and, like Bumper 1, contained only a partial charge. The velocity of the V-2 was about ten percent below normal, but the steering was good. Up to 28 seconds the propulsion system was performing normally, but at 33 seconds the turbine started to overspeed. It reached a peak speed of 4,800 rpm a few tenths of a second later, then decreased in the manner typical of an overspeed trip.
This action was attributed to the premature closure of the alcohol preliminary valve in the V-2, due to a failure in the controlling circuit.
On 30 September 1948, the third missile was launched. The second stage used a liquid propellant with 32 seconds burning time. Operation of the V-2 was successful in all aspects; however, the second stage motor exploded just prior to separation. The fourth Bumper, like the third, used a liquid propellant with 32 seconds burning time for the second stage. The flight appeared normal in every respect and missile velocity was close to average. A break in the alcohol piping resulted in an explosion in the tail section at 28.5 seconds. This caused the jet to broaden, the telemetry record to fail, the beacon signal to disappear and the servo signals to increase to near maximum. The spurious signals drove the jet vanes hard over, causing the missile to execute a fast turning motion. Impact followed. The only other known tail explosions occurred in another series of modified V-2 missiles, which, like Bumper, involved major structural changes.
Bumper 5, fired on 24 February 1949, was the first Bumper to be fired with a fully tanked second stage, which allowed 45 seconds burning time. This flight was successful in every phase. Thirty seconds after take-off the V-2 attained a speed of 3,600 miles per hour and the V-2 and the WAC Corporal separated. The WAC, with its power added to that of the V-2, attained a speed of 5,150 miles per hour and an altitude of approximately 250 miles. This was the greatest velocity and the highest altitude ever reached by a man-made object. The nose cone was instrumented to measure temperatures at extreme altitudes. In addition, the WAC carried telemetry which transmitted to ground stations technical data pertaining to conditions encountered during flight. This was the first time radio equipment had ever operated at such extreme altitudes. Although the missile had been tracked by radar for most of its flight, more than a year passed before the smashed body section was located.
The sixth V-2 WAC combination missile to be fired at White Sands Proving Ground was launched on 21 April 1949. This missile also had a fully tanked second stage, and it was hoped that the performance of Bumper 5 could be surpassed. The nose cone was instrumented to record data on cosmic radiation at altitudes greater than could be reached by other missiles. Performance was normal for 47.5 seconds when the cut-off relay was operated by some malfunction in the control system. It was considered that excessive vibrations, due to structural changes made to accommodate the WAC Corporal, could have caused this failure as well as the failure of missiles 2 and 4.
Bumper missiles 7 and 8 were shipped from White Sands Proving Ground to Florida by standard Army tractor and flatbed for firing at the Joint Long-Range Proving Ground. Since the V-2 missiles previously shipped to Norfolk, Virginia, had been damaged in transit, modifications were made in the shipping cradle in that the rigid tail support was replaced by a partially inflated truck tire, which provided a non-rigid support for the tail. The Army vehicle was driven with extreme care and the missiles arrived in excellent condition.
In general, the conventional V-2 ground equipment was used. The one major change was in the type of working platform used to service the upper levels of the missiles. The platforms were made up of standard commercial iron pipe scaffolding of the type commonly used by painters. These assemblies were mounted on casters. The scaffolds, extending to about 55 feet above the concrete pad had sufficient strength and rigidity for the purpose.
The first attempt to launch Bumper 7 was unsuccessful due to moisture collected within the missile. It was necessary to return it to the hanger where it was dried and rechecked.
Two steps were taken to reduce the probability of further condensation troubles: (1) silicone grease was applied at vulnerable points and (2) the loading sequence was reversed to load liquid oxygen after loading hydrogen peroxide. These measures proved adequate in two subsequent launchings.
Bumper 7 was successfully fired on 29 July 1950. Bumper 8 had been fired on 24 July 1950. The experiments to be carried out on these missiles called for a relatively low trajectory, with a separation angle of approximately 20 degrees from horizontal. The General Electric Report on these firings stated:
"This trajectory required a relatively rapid turn during the powered flight of the V-2. Both missiles made the turn successfully and the general performance appeared good. A closer examination of the trajectory data showed, however, that the program had been greater than desired. Trajectory data showed the separation angle for Bumper 7 to be approximately 10 degrees and that for Bumper 8 to be about 13 degrees. The fact that the two trajectories showed the same type of discrepancy indicated a systematic rather than a random fault. Since it seemed highly improbable that the pitch device itself would fail in such a fashion as to increase the program, precession of the pitch gyro circuits had been modified to obtain a much larger than normal program, these circuits were among the first investigated. This investigation turned up a "sneak-circuit" which caused the erecting motors of the pitch gyro to be energized after take-off. This in turn caused a procession which operated to increase the program angle. This fault appeared to answer fully the observed discrepancy."
Notwithstanding the error in trajectory, Bumper 7 attained a speed of Mach 9, the highest sustained speed that had ever been reached in the Earth's atmosphere. Results of these launchings were discussed in the Patrick Air Force Base, Long-Range Proving Ground Division, Technical Report No. 1, "Bumper Missiles 7 and 8," 29 September 1950.
Through Bumper firings, it was learned that the speed of a rocket or missile could be increased with each successive stage. Step-rockets, fired when the assisting rocket was at maximum velocity, gave the final rocket a speed equal to all stages. Innumerable problems connected with rockets' motor ignition at high altitude and attachment and separation of successive stages were solved satisfactorily, providing a basis for later missile designs requiring similar experiments. The program was officially concluded in July 1950.

Running roughly parallel to Orlando's Interstate 4, the four-lane International Drive connects SeaWorld, the Universal Orlando Resort, the enormous Orange County Convention Center, and a huge collection of hotels. Other draws on I-Drive include outlet shopping malls, water parks and swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove, and dining and nightlife options to suit just about any budget and taste.
While there are some buses that trawl I-Drive, this area, like most of Central Florida, is built for cars; there are dozens of rental agencies at the airport, a 15-minute trip from the southern end of International Drive. Traffic can grind to a crawl during busy times but the good news is that parking is plentiful both in the area and at Disney. If you stay closer to the parks, though, shuttles, ferries, and even a monorail will spare you anguish behind the wheel.
In general, name brand is the name of the game. Crowne Plaza, Wyndham, Residence Inn, and more all appear along International Drive. These places are, for the most part, clean and affordable, though they certainly lack the elaborate cartoony themes and extended hours to access the theme parks that you'll find at the Disney properties.
But there are some standout hotels. The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott golf resorts at Grande Lakes, just off International Drive, are some of the most luxurious hotels in all of Orlando. Or, to be closer to the Convention Center, try the elegant Peabody Hotel just across the street.

Warped Tour 2010 Includes Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence
The last few years, Kevin Lyman's Warped Tour has become more metal than your mother's kettle, so to speak. Rather than serve strictly as a platform for punk, ska and emo, Warped has become an all-inclusive affair, featuring bands like Underoath, the Devil Wears Prada, In This Moment and Killswitch Engage. The Warped Tour 2010 lineup will be no different.

I don't understand this argument that Ryan Tannehill has "great chemistry" with Brian Hartline. I see it often. I don't get it. The chemistry was so great it produced 1 touchdown? Really? That's "great" chemistry?
Twitter: @ckparrot
I like your thoughts. As much as I'd like to see the team get a game-breaking receiver like Mike Wallace, I agree we are better off finding wr talent in the draft. The draft is loaded at wide receiver so we should address other needs in free agency. Also agree with you on signing a corner (I like Cox) in free agency. I want to keep Jake Long, but not at the franchise tag amount. That will seriously limit what the team can do in free agency. His contract should be in the 6-7 million a year range and, hopefully, short-term (no more than 3 years).
I apologize for my incorrect grammar. But yeah we probably can get more out of the trade, but I was using the trade value chart as a reference from TOS. Also, I don't mind staying put at 12 and getting DE dion Jordan and finding out WR's later like Stedman bailey, Ryan swope, quinton Patton, markus Wheaton, Aaron Dobson, and etc. but the idea of stock piling picks for this year and next year is a trend I'd like to see this regime do more.
Speed at the WR is i/m/o "job One". Otherwise, we may be facing Opponents who crowd the l/o/s unmercifully, and we'll watch MIAMI's running game get stuffed over and over, as well as a good arm at QB getting wasted. The bottom line? Under 20 p/p/g, w/N.E. still owning us and our Division.
WRs most often take a year or two to develop into topshelf WRs. WR is the one position where it's always a good idea to use F/A. This season, "cap" is no deterrent (as it seems to always have been) and under the new CBA, teams have to spend 90 or 95% of their cap $$$ anyway. MIAMI has A LOT of caproom this coming preseason, and by not resigning J LONG and cutting INCOGNITO and MARSHALL (and NOTHING else!), MIAMI will have c. $10 Million MORE in capspace, w/o the drain of J LONG's contract. So, e.g., when some people say "JENNINGS or WALLACE", I say "BOTH": and spare me the drivel about cost--ROSS has billions and wants a WINNER, and MIAMI has tons of caproom this tme. No sir: MIAMI could do all that, AND MORE. Whoever the best "COVER CB" is in F/A, we should get him. Ditto the best athletic G. MIAMI would STILL have enough to re-sign ALL of its own key F/As, and by cutting a few more "dead wood" players, MIAMI could have almost another $7-8 Million for sure! That's something like $63-65 Million in total capspace, assuming the $46 Million present figure is correct. So, MIAMI could possibly even make a run at AVRIL.
All of this, w/o even talking about MIAMI's Draft position. I may be wrong, but I have a lot more faith in IRELAND than most. After all, MIAMI NEVER was in a position like this in terms of both Capspace and Draft picks, together w/a stronger roster than many would give MIAMI credit for having...at least not during IRELAND's stay here in S. Florida. And in the past, PARCELLS was here! How do you say "no" to a legend (even though his brand of football is i/m/o obsolete), especially when that legend was the one who gave you your big break, and personally mentored you? I suspect that it can't be easy! But I liked last year's Draft (no PARCELLS), and I think that I'm going to like this year's Draft and F/A even more.
Let's hope!
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
who are those guys?
But he is familiar with him, I would keep hartline no matter what.

MPI Senior Policy Analyst Muzaffar Chishti looks at the wider implications of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the rights of "enemy combatants."
Veysel Oezcan of Humboldt University Berlin reports on a key ruling affecting integration, religious freedom, and educators.
This report provides a framework for assessing the legal validity of state legislative measures that address unauthorized immigration. To determine their validity, authors seek to establish whether Congress has preempted the law, and if not, whether these local laws exceed the bounds of constitutional authority by conflicting or interfering with existing federal regulatory regimes.
Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the United States Department of Justice has sought to engage local police in the systematic enforcement of routine civil immigration violations, marking a sea change in immigration and local law enforcement practices. This report provides the first public glimpse of how the new NCIC policy has affected on‐the‐ ground policing strategies across the country and which immigrant groups have been most heavily impacted.
This report examines the sweeping changes in the way identity documents are issued and used under the REAL ID Act, an effort to enhance the security of identity documents in post-9/11 America. It takes a detailed look at how this legislation will affect document issuing agencies, state budgets, and the employment verification system, in addition to immigrants and citizens.
The events that unfolded in the U.S. on September 11 generated a renewed sense of urgency over border management. Bilateral Smart Border agreements were reached between the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.S. and Mexico in December 2001 and March 2002. This report tracks the implementation of these border accords and seeks to evaluate their effectiveness.
The September 11 attacks demanded a powerful response, but blanket measures such as roundups and arrests, intimidating interviews, lengthy detention, and special registration requirements are blunt tools.This report offers the most comprehensive compilation and analysis yet of the individuals detained in the wake of September 11, their experiences, and the government's post-September 11 immigration measures.
In countries that experience large influxes of immigrants, citizenship laws can offer an effective tool for promoting inclusion and integration.This book offers a set of detailed policy proposals on four aspects of citizenship policy: access to citizenship, managing dual nationality, political integration, and social and economic rights.
In the immediate aftermath of September 11, the U.S. government committed to increasing national security through every possible avenue. Although the most effective measures to combat terrorism will inevitably rely on intelligence, certain immigration programs and procedures can contribute to better intelligence and enhanced security.

The river rises, or the washing machine overflows, or the roof leaks, or the bathroom ventilator fails, or the crawl space is damp. Whatever the cause, you suspect there's mold or mildew on the roam in your home. You can tell by that moldy smell, or by those spreading areas of black, gray, green, brown, or white.
What is this stuff, anyway? Is it a health hazard? Can it cause allergies in children and adults? How do you clean it up?
Good questions. Let's take them one at a time.
What Is Mold?Mold is a living thing, akin to mushrooms. It lives on any organic material, from wood (even painted!) to leather to dirt, and needs moisture to survive. Molds reproduce by giving off tiny particles called spores, which float around in the air until they land and spread. Mildew and mold are pretty much the same thing—the terms are interchangeable.
A Health Hazard?Is mold in your home a health hazard? It can be. Occasional spots of mold aren't usually a matter for concern, as long as you clean them up promptly and get rid of the cause. But if anyone in the family has allergies, mold can trigger an attack. And even if no one currently has allergies, persistent mold can sensitize you so that you may become allergic to it.
What to Do If Symptoms Show UpFor those allergic to mold, symptoms of an allergic reaction can include wheezing or difficulty breathing; nasal and sinus congestion; eye irritation; a dry, hacking cough; nose or throat irritation; and skin rashes. If someone in your home begins having these symptoms, you should talk to your family physician. If a mold allergy is diagnosed, your physician or allergist may prescribe measures and/or medications to prevent attacks.
But even if medications take care of the symptoms, it's still very important to clean up the source of the allergy—the mold.
Clean-UpSmall spots of mold can be cleaned up with soap and water, or a spray-on mildewcide (mold killer). To clean up a persistent area of mold, wear a respirator (available in hardware stores) to protect yourself from the spores that are stirred up. Bag and toss any mold-contaminated materials—clothes, wallboard, leaves, etc. Scrub and rinse the area with a stiff brush, using detergent and hot water. Dry the area thoroughly, and then apply a bleach solution using 1 cup of bleach to a gallon of water.
And then fix the roof, repair the washer or the bathroom vent, or seal off the crawl space. Deprive the mold of moisture so it can't come back. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Pronounced: ESS-truh-muss-TEEN
Classification: Antineoplastic Agent
Estramustine is a combination of the chemotherapy nitrogen mustard and a type of estrogen called estradiol. Estramustine works by disrupting the microtubular network in cells that is essential for cell division and other normal cellular functions. The estradiol in estramustine also lowers the body's production of testosterone. Most prostate cancers need supplies of the male hormone testosterone to grow. Without testosterone, the cancer cells may either grow more slowly, or stop growing altogether. Both of these effects work to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells.
This medication comes as a capsule and your dose is determined based on your body size. It is taken in 3 or 4 doses a day on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). You should not take this medication with milk or other foods or supplements high in calcium or magnesium (including antacids), as this may interfere with its absorption. A typical cycle is 6 weeks of taking estramustine, followed by 2 weeks off of the medication.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Estramustine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. In addition, you may experience erectile dysfunction or a decreased desire for sex during treatment. Talk to your urologist about options for treating erectile dysfunction.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if you believe your sperm is affected. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
An increase in breast tissue (gynecomastia) or breast tenderness may develop. Your healthcare team can suggest medications to relieve the tenderness. In rare cases, radiation can be given to relieve severe tenderness.
Some patients may develop fluid retention, which can cause swelling in the feet and/or ankles or face or gain weight. Fluid can also build up in the lungs and cause you to feel short of breath. Notify your healthcare team if you have any swelling, unexpected weight gain or shortness of breath.
Blood clots are a rare side effect that can occur anywhere in the body. They are most frequently in the calves or the lungs. People at increased risk for developing blood clots include those with a family history of blood clots, smokers, those who have an inactive lifestyle. Signs of a blood clot in the leg may include any of the following: leg pain, warmth, swelling of one leg more than the other. Signs of a blood clot in the lung could include: fever, shortness of breath that comes on you very quickly, racing heart, chest pain (that tends to be worse when you take a deep breath).
If you have any of these signs of a blood clot, you will need to be seen immediately and be treated. Call your doctor or nurse right away or go to the nearest emergency room.

Purdue University - Ross-Ade StadiumThis panorama of Ross-Ade Stadium, taken by Robert Pettit, captures the excitement of a Purdue Boilermakers' football game. Nestled on the northern edge of campus, Ross-Ade Stadium is named after principal benefactors David E. Ross and George Ade. Ross-Ade Stadium opened in the fall of 1924 with a seating capacity of 13,500. After multiple renovations, the current capacity is 62,500. From 2001 to 2003, Ross-Ade Stadium underwent a renovation that made it one of the most attractive and fan-friendly facilities in all of college football.
