Tackles Fisher, Joeckel Taken One-Two Overall
Even in a draft that wasn't stocked with quarterbacks, it was still all about the quarterback. Namely, sacking them or protecting them.
Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher (above) was taken first overall by the Kansas City Chiefs while Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel (below) was taken second by the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the first time since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 that two tackles were selected one and two overall. A quarterback had been selected first overall for four straight years before this draft. Fisher, a former unheralded recruit who bulked up in his time at Central Michigan, is the seventh offensive lineman taken first in the draft. The whole draft was equally lacking in glamour: The top of the first round featured three offensive tackles, a guard and three pass rushers in the first seven picks. The Miami Dolphins shocked the league by trading their first and second round picks to Oakland for the third overall pick, which they used on Oregon pass rusher Dion Jordan. It is the latest in a long line of splashy moves by Miami, who earlier this spring grabbed free agent wideout Mike Wallace and were the biggest spenders in free agency.
It took until well into the night for a team to select a player the casual fan could embrace. No "skill position" player was selected until the eighth pick, when the St. Louis Rams, who traded with the Buffalo Bills for the pick, took speedy West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin. It was a dramatic shift from last year's glitzy draft that featured the Colts selecting quarterback Andrew Luck and the Redskins taking Robert Griffin III who both turned into immediate stars. Instead, this draft was about building foundations. The Cardinals, who have needs at nearly every position took the unusual step of taking a guard, North Carolina's Jonathan Cooper, at seventh overall.

DHA represents up to 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain.
DHA is important for brain and eye development and function throughout the life stages, but is particularly important during the first two years of life and early childhood. Between birth and five years of age, the human brain increases approximately 3.5 times in mass. During this time it is important that children consume adequate amounts of DHA in their diet to support this period of rapid brain and eye growth and development.
DHA provides a number of important health benefits to children, including:
Recently published research suggests that for children ages 7-9, who are underperforming in reading, a healthy diet that achieves 600 mg of DHA daily may support improvements in reading, memory and behavior.
Why It's Important to Provide DHA for Your Children
American children consume an average of only 30 to 50mg of DHA per day. It's no surprise that children consume less than optimal levels of DHA. Foods that naturally contain DHA are limited to organ meats and fatty fish, which are not commonly consumed by young children. In addition, picky and unbalanced eating habits and food allergies make it difficult for parents to ensure their children are obtaining optimal levels of DHA.
Fortunately, as awareness of the importance of DHA continues to grow, more attention is being paid to the fact that young children may benefit from getting more DHA in their diets. A growing awareness of the dietary sources of DHA and the inclusion of DHA into follow-on formulas and certain fortified foods are making it easier for people of all ages, including young children, to obtain this important nutrient from their daily diets.

I have an AMD FX 8120 proccy that is overclocked to 4100Mhz. Since the overclocking, Byobu and other temprature reading apps (Conky, etc) do not read the temprature accurately.
I can see the correct temp in the bios, and with no overclocking everything inside of Gnome reads correctly.
Why should this be? It is (seemingly) obviously an issue with Ubuntu (or perhaps Gnome?).
Has anyone else experienced this?

text: Hey folks, I'm back and with my return I bring a very cool lesson on "how to draw a ninja face", step by step. This was supposed to get uploaded with the ninja eyes tutorial that I submitted the other day, but I was side tracked so obviously the lesson was delayed. I wanted to make a very cool ninja face that conveyed both strength and aggression. I love the way that he came out. I had to tweak the finished drawing a bit before this ninja face actually become complete. The chin was drawn longer than what you see it as now, so I shaved off a few inches so that it wasn't so long. In the end I think you guys will enjoy drawing this ninja face. I know it's cool so have fun with it. I shall return with more drawing fun so stay tuned in. Adios people!

Jewish Journeys
Joshua Hammer's book is called "Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey" (Hyperion Press), and while the titular journey refers to his brother, it may very well apply to Hammer himself.
In Newsweek's Nov. 8th issue, Hammer -- a foreign correspondent who will become the magazine's Berlin bureau chief in January -- gave the nation a window into his life. In an excerpt from "Chosen" Hammer recounted his quest to reconnect with Tony, his estranged younger brother. During their time apart, while Hammer had traveled the world covering war and political unrest, Tony had become Tuvia, a "Torah Jew" with a wife and sprawling family, entrenched in an ultra-Orthodox lifestyle
"My brother became this amazingly novelistic figure to me," Hammer told the Journal. "I became mesmerized by what had happened to him."
In late 1997, after living on four continents in four years, Hammer returned to America and visited his brother and his wife of 13 years, Ahuva, at their suburban home in Monsey, New York. In rich detail, Hammer describes in "Chosen" working his way through the Orthodox-Mecca Rockland County, and seeing his brother in person for the first time in years -- a "bearded apparition" amidst the clutter of a ramshackle home. At Tuvia's suggestion, the Hammer brothers take a trip up to Tosh, a Hasidic enclave in Montreal. It is during their drive that Hammer grapples with his brother's extreme views, as Tuvia expounds Messianic beliefs; disowns acting -- his college passion -- as engaging in idol worship; claims that the galus -- the exile -- is extended for Jews hourly "anytime a goy does a favor for a yid"; and defines a Jew ("I'm not talking about the Israeli state. I'm not talking about Steven Spielberg. I'm talking about the frum Jews -- the real Jews."). The trip (and Newsweek excerpt) culminates in a frenzied tish where Hammer experiences a fleeting face-to-face with Tosh rebbe and founder Ferenz Lowy before being shoved aside by Lowy's fanatical devotees.
If the selection he chose for Newsweek comes off as a damning appraisal of Tuvia and his way of life, Hammer notes that a crucial passage detailing a dinner at Tosh was excised by Newsweek's editors. He also emphasizes that the chapter is only one part of a book that wrestles to present a balanced portrait of his fraternal relationship. Hammer not only illuminates the reader on Tuvia's world, but the factors that led the two down their divergent paths -- most significantly, the broken childhood they shared in the aftermath of their parents' divorce. As "Chosen" progresses, Hammer examines his own life as a foreign correspondent; his inability to deal with Tony's decision, which brought him much anger and embarrassment; and the ramifications of Tony's Orthodoxy on the entire Hammer family.
Hammer admits that he was put off by the intensity of Tosh's inhabitants, such as the physically-aggressive hysteria surrounding the Tosh rebbe.
"I really wasn't trying to be judgmental," says Hammer, regarding the Newsweek excerpt's ending. "I guess it was a powerful image of the anonymity, the subjection of the ego... It captured for me what a lot of Hasidism was about, getting those five seconds of connection... the majesty and the remoteness of the rabbi."
Heaping complexities onto Hammer's depiction of his sibling's world is the fact that Tuvia fell under the influence of Shlomo Helburns, a rabbi considered off-kilter even within the ultra-Orthodox community. The Helburns association eventually strained Tuvia's marriage to the point where Ahuva insisted that he address economic realities and forfeit his 12 hour days of davening for some computer courses. Hammer praises Ahuva's role as Tuvia's "reality check," and believes that Tuvia is "not representing the average Jew or even the average Orthodox Jew. He's come by an extreme influence."
Friends at Newsweek have long encouraged Hammer to commit his story to ink. However, roaming the world in the frontlines of difficult news terrain can complicate one's life.
"You don't ever have time to sit back," says Hammer, who finally spent October through April holed up at his Pacific Palisades residence writing "Chosen."
So in the aftermath of bringing their close encounter to print, just where is their relationship right now?
"It's currently suffering from a lot of damage," says Hammer. "He's really upset. He feels betrayed."
Even though Hammer was up front about documenting their reunion -- the book's vivid dialogue transcribed from taped conversations -- Tuvia felt that his older brother made him and his world look foolish. Of course, Hammer realized all along that his project risked offending his brother.
"The exploitation aspect is a troubling one," says Hammer. "The fact that my brother feels betrayed only underscores that, and I haven't found a satisfactory answer to this [issue]. It's complicated by the fact that it's my own brother."
"For a journalist," continues Hammer, "the truth is the most important [thing]. I know that sounds callous. I'm still wrestling with it."
With the distance between the Hammer brothers now reduced to some angry e-mails, Joshua is still trying to formulate a satisfactory reply to his brother's rage-filled missives. He also realizes that his readers may reduce both brothers down to a contentious metaphor for the interdenominational schism within Jewish society.
"I would say that's pretty accurate," says Hammer of such an interpretation. "I'm the assimilated, secular Jew, living in the temporal world; the world of ambition, working in the media."
At 42, Hammer remains single and rootless, led around the world by career. And whatever one says about Tuvia and his lifestyle, the ba'al teshuva is happily married, anchored by family and community. So how does Hammer respond to those who feel that his brother leads a richer personal life?
"They have a point," says Hammer. "My brother raised that point in a recent e-mail."
"A relatively happy person," Hammer admits that he has trouble committing in relationships. Yet he attributes this to his restlessness; a restlessness he suggests that both he and his brother derived from their tumultuous childhood, but express differently.
"Who's necessarily to say that one lifestyle, one approach is better than the other," concludes Hammer.
And even though a gulf still exists between Joshua and Tuvia and the future holds no guarantee of resolution, Hammer says he has gained from this experience.
"I have a lot of respect and understanding of [Judaism]. I don't run away from being Jewish. I'm really much more in tune with it," says the writer. After some more thought, he says softly, "I feel more rounded. I know my brother now."
Author Joshua Hammer will discuss "Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey" on Thurs., Dec. 9, at the National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles, 543 N. Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles. For more information, call (323) 651-2930.

6 Pieces of Office Equipment (For the Incredibly Paranoid)
With massive layoffs, corrupt CEOs and disgruntled employees, the office has become a dangerous place to work. At least, that's what your paranoid mind tells you. For those who envision office-wide knife fights or think the lunch room is the most likely Ground Zero in the upcoming robot-zombie apocalypse, rest assured certain entrepreneurs have stepped forward to fill this void.
#6. Turn Your Briefcase Into a Working Machine Gun
We've all had that thought, Sure, nothing makes me feel safer during a quarterly sales meeting like a semi-automatic weapon, but Cathy down in HR is a being a total Nazi about it. Luckily, military weapons manufacturer Heckler and Koch puts the "concealed" in "Holy shit, you bring a concealed submachine gun to work?!" with the MP5 Briefcase accessory. And no, it's not just a carrying case -- the gun can be fired while it's still in the case.
Via Kafkanishian
"This is the last time you leave the coffee pot empty, Ted!"
Yes, the good people at H&K have taken their 90 years of experience in the field of weapon design to terrifying levels with this fusion of practicality and reckless endangerment.
Via gunpundit
They seem to have a lot lying around.
See how the MP5 not only fits into this stylish leather briefcase made for just that purpose, but also has a trigger embedded right there on the handle? You don't even need to change the way you're holding it, you can be strolling down the sidewalk, and with the twitch of a finger, suddenly be spraying hot lead indiscriminately in every direction. How fantastic/horrifying is that?
Via hkpro
This guy is holding the briefcase all wrong.
Of course, knowing that your co-workers are armed with these means you'd better invest in ...
#5. The Bulletproof Clipboard
We've all been there before. A hectic work environment, unreasonable goals and sadistic bosses are all getting in the way of recreational Web surfing and flirting with Kathleen from IT. But just when the day could not get any worse, Phil from accounting starts screaming something about the Angel of Death and opens fire on everyone in sight with his briefcase. And to think you were just five days from retirement. Getting too old for this shit, you are indeed.
"Dammit, Phil, I used your mug one time! Jenkins was the one who stuck all that gum under your desk."
It would be a good time to carry the bulletproof body armor clipboard. It's sold by ThinkGeek, but it's no joke. Watch:
Composed of level II body armor, this clipboard can stop multiple 9mm rounds and comes with a 25 year limited warranty.
Via thinkgeek
At $44 a piece, you could afford to make a whole suit out of these babies.
After careful examination, there appears to be no major faults in the design of this clipboard, as long as your crazed spree killer aims directly at the 9 x 12 area, and not at the part where your fingers are. Unfortunately, boredom and human nature might be the biggest threat to the people purchasing this product as the desire to test it proves irresistible. While it might not be difficult to find someone willing to fire off a couple rounds at you while holding this clipboard, it might prove more difficult to find someone who could fire off some rounds at this clipboard accurately.
Via thinkgeek
Ideally, your would-be assassin should be lying directly between your feet.
So you'd better also invest in ...
#4. Business Class Body Armor
There are many drawbacks to wearing body armor at work. Because it typically looks like this ...
Via bodyarmoroutlet
It matches very few dress skirts.
... it can be cumbersome and makes you look distrustful. If only it were possible to have the protection of class III ceramic body armor with the comfort and style of a classic three button blazer? Fashion designer Miguel Caballero developed a line of clothing to solve this problem.
Via miguelcaballero
The leather jacket is bulletproof. We assume those stylish bangles are smoke bombs.
These are not simply blazers made of Kevlar cloth. Using a technique designed and patented by Caballero himself, these designs use a polyester and nylon weave that can withstand gun fire and is also stab proof. The only drawback being it makes you look a tad bloated.
Via miguelcaballero
You get all the benefits of looking like someone with severe gas, plus you can repel small arms fire!
Caballero's designs fuse the perfect harmony of style and paranoia. Or, as he explains, "We make bullet proof fashion." Some of his clients include Presidents Alvaro Uribe of Colombia and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, so rest assured, you'll be sharing pretty rarefied company with some of the most despised men in the world. However, if your management style inspires the kind of hatred and blood vengeance usually reserved for Third World dictators, perhaps you might want to reinstitute Casual Friday.
Via miguelcaballero
Rest assured, they got you covered even for that.
But why use these garments just for protection when there's potential for coworker bonding through pants-shitting fear? At Caballero's own office, the CEO is known to continually test his products by randomly shooting his employees with a .38 revolver. Consider that the next time you bitch about the break room vending machine eating your dollar.

The Stages of Labor
In This Article:
Stage two
Stage Two Labor
Pregnancy Facts
First babies usually take longer to deliver than second and third babies, because the unused birth passage is tense and unyielding.
Stage two labor is more intense than early labor. You might not be able to talk or walk through these contractions. In this stage, you should not eat anything (if an anesthetic is administered when the stomach is full, severe nausea might occur and complicate delivery). You may sip some fluids or eat hard candy or ice chips if you like.
Now is the time to use the breathing and relaxation exercises you were taught if you went to childbirth classes. These will help you relax and tolerate the pain. But don't expect them to make the pain go away completely—it is very unusual for this to happen. Expecting a pain-free labor will probably leave you very disappointed and surprised. Your cervix has to dilate to 10 centimeters, and the baby has to work her way down the birth canal—this just hurts.
Now is the time to get going. In the second stage of labor you should go to the hospital or birthing center to prepare for delivery. Ideally, you will have preregistered and won't have too many forms to fill out between contractions. When you're admitted, you will meet a nurse (or midwife, if you are delivering your baby in a birthing center) who will guide you through the rest of your labor and delivery. She will explain what's happening and will answer your questions. To prepare for the safe delivery of a baby in a hospital you can expect the following:
- Temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration will be taken frequently throughout your labor.
- The nurse will apply a fetal heart monitor. This is a machine that will indicate your baby's heart rate and the frequency and duration of your contractions. The monitor might be attached externally to your abdomen or internally to your baby's scalp.
- The doctor or nurse will perform a vaginal exam to check the dilation of your cervix to judge how far along you are in the labor process.
- You'll tell the nurse whether you want a natural or medicated birth. So much depends on how labor progresses that it is almost impossible to know, ahead of time, whether or not a woman will want or need pain medication. Regardless of what she has written in her birth plan, a laboring woman should always have the option to change her mind about pain relief.
In days long passed, it was routine to give women in labor an enema (to empty the bowel, making more room for the birth canal to expand) and to shave their pubic hair (to keep bacteria out of the vaginal area). Today, many doctors and midwives have abandoned these practices, and recent studies show they are unnecessary. Still, some continue the habit. When you write your birth plan, talk to your doctor about having an enema and shaving. If you have the option, tell the primary nurse when you enter the hospital what you and your doctor have agreed upon.
You will have a bed to lie on during labor, but that doesn't mean that lying on your back is the best labor position for you. If you are not hooked up to fetal monitors or an IV pole, ask the nurses if you can get up and move around. Try different positions during your contractions until you find one that makes you feel most comfortable. Possible labor positions include the following:
- Kneeling on your hands and knees. This is especially good if you have pain in your back.
- Walking around. This can help the labor process move along. Standing up allows gravity to work for you because being upright helps the baby move down the birth canal.
- Kneeling on the bed and holding on to your partner. If he sits on the edge of the bed and you kneel behind him, you can let gravity work for you without leaving the bed.
- Sitting in a rocking chair.
- Sitting or standing in a shower, if allowed.
- Sitting or lying on a large ball (sometimes called a birthing ball). This is not possible, however, if you have an epidural to numb pain early in your labor.
Daddy Alert!
No matter how much you and your partner have practiced for active labor, you can't count on things going as expected. Your calm and collected spouse might get loud and obnoxious. She might tell you to get out. She might cry and forget everything she's practiced. Whatever happens, stay supportive. Follow her lead and give her whatever she needs. Don't be critical or demanding, just do your best to offer encouragement.
Hey Mom!
In the second stage of labor it's not uncommon to feel sick with nausea, chills, sweats, or shakes. Deep breathing and relaxation exercises can help you through this.
The best labor position is the one that makes you feel most comfortable. Try them all out, move back and forth from one to another. If you're able, moving around helps labor progress.
This stage of labor can last about 4 to 6 hours as your cervix continues to dilate (about 1 to 1½ cm per hour). Things move along a little faster if you've previously given birth.
As your cervix becomes almost fully dilated, you'll have contractions that last for 60 to 90 seconds. You'll also have a strong urge to push out your baby. This "bearing down" is like pushing out a difficult bowel movement. You strain the vaginal muscles to push the baby down the birth canal. When you first feel this urge, the nurses might tell you not to push yet. This means you aren't dilated enough for the baby to be pushed out. (It can be hard to resist the urge but they know what they're doing!)
When you are fully dilated (at 10 cm) and feel the urge to push, it's time for delivery. If you are in a hospital, you might be wheeled into a delivery room where your doctor will join you, or you might deliver right in the labor room. After a quick examination and review of your labor, you'll be relieved to hear the doctor say, "Push!" with the next contraction. This pushing stage can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. This is where you might find yourself getting very tired and impatient, but the end is near.
This is also when the doctor might perform an episiotomy. This is a surgical incision that is made from your vagina toward the rectum in order to make the opening wider. An episiotomy prevents tearing, which can damage the pelvic muscles. If there is enough time to give a local anesthetic into the area, the doctor will do that. But if you've had an epidural, you won't need further anesthesia.
There is some debate over the necessity of having an episiotomy. Certainly, it's not a necessity if the baby's head has enough room to pass through. But whether or not to perform an episiotomy is a judgment call made by the physician at the last moment. I would estimate that probably 90 percent-plus of first-time mothers get an episiotomy. On subsequent babies, there is more room, and the necessity for an episiotomy is less likely.

Kiwanis President Glenn Coleman revealed the headline entertainer for 2013 Corn Days Thursday, July 25. Aaron Tippin will be the feature Saturday, Oct. 12 on the main stage in downtown Carmi.
"The announcement is a little premature, but Aaron Tippin has already posted the appearance on his Website, so we wanted to make the announcement," said Coleman. "He goes right along with the type of entertainer we have had the past few years."
President Elect J.C. Tinsley also provided some background on Tippin at the meeting, noting Tippin was popular during the same time frame as past Corn Day performers Joe Diffee and Sammy Kershaw. Some of the more noted songs by Tippin include his first hit in 1990, "You've Got To Stand For Something," "Kiss This," "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With the Radio" and "Where Stars and Stripes and Eagle Fly."
Besides his passion for country music, Tippin is also a pilot, farmer, winemaker, outdoorsman, avid bodybuilder and devoted family man. He is a native of South Carolina and now calls middle Tennessee home. He and his wife, Thea, who he cowrote "Kiss This" with, have two sons, Tom and Ted. On his 500-acre farm, he has a hangar, complete with four working aircraft and a runway. He also has a recording studio and a winery.
"We are excited to have him," said Tinsley, station manager for WROY/WRUL. "When we look at different options for Corn Day, we like to stick to this genre. I think he will be popular in this area."

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500 representing the greater New York area claimed victory over Target this week and offered some harsh words following a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board.
What got the UFCW excited was a ruling by the NLRB that affirmed an administrative law judge's decision of May 2012, which ordered a new union election be held at Target's store in Valley Stream, New York. Target was also ordered to halt activities that voided the first union election directed Target to modify all existing and future employee handbooks throughout the country and remove all wording that the NLRB found violated federal labor law.
"This is an overwhelming victory for Target workers not just in the Valley Stream Target but throughout the United States," said Bruce W. Both, president of UFCW local 1500. "It is especially satisfying that the decision be announced as workers around the world today are celebrating May Day and sending the message that working men and women will fight every day, for as long as it takes until irresponsible corporations like Target respect our nation's laws, the laws of other nations and the rights of their workers to form and join a Union."
According to a UFCW press release, the NLRB ruling upheld a May 18th, 2012 administrative law judge's decision that Target maintained illegal no-solicitation policies, threatened employees with closure of the Valley Stream store should they vote for the union, created an impression of illegal surveillance, conducted coercive employee interrogations and threatened employees with discipline for supporting the union.
"It was shocking to all of us involved that this once proud company would get in the gutter with the Walmart's of the world and prove to be no better when it comes to responsible treatment of their employees and their respect for federal law," said Aly Waddy, director of special projects for UFCW Local 1500.
Waddy went on to add that Target's business model is based on suppression of workers' rights and public deception about employee treatment and that the union would continue to shine its brightest light on a company it characterized as having increasingly dark business practices. Typically, such harsh statements from the UFCW are reserved for Walmart, whereas Target is a more recent target.

I am working on an e-commerce site in which post and product titles will need to be displayed in fairly narrow divs. I would like to set a specific font size for words which can naturally fit in the space provided, while instructing words which are too long for the parent object's width to scale down automatically, thus avoiding the need for hyphenation. It seems someone must have thought of a way to do this before but I have been unable to find any solutions on the web. The closest I've found to an answer is the BigText jQuery plugin, but this is really designed for situations where you can predict your own line breaks. Since my titles will be queried by Wordpress and inserted altogether into divs, this plugin would shrink my texts until every word could fit on one line, which is not what I'm looking for. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks so much your time! Best, Jonathan
I've done something similar taking the simple approach of adding a CSS class to titles based on their character count. That CSS class then decreases
This approach is quite naive, though. It doesn't take into account the actual character width as rendered by the font. For that, you'd need a JavaScript approach.

Is there way to use custom validation on an advanced custom field? For example, I might not want a textfield to have a value that starts with certain prefix, or I might want a number field to have a value greater than 'x'. I might also want to run a regex against a value and return an error if it doesn't match.
There is now, I just posted a plugin that I wrote to do validation for Advanced Custom Fields to the Wordpress repository. It lets you do server side validation using either PHP code or regex, jQuery masked inputs, as well as unique value settings.
I did it by plugging into
It is all a little complicated, but I will try to give a simplified example of what I used.
This doesn't allow to highlight fields that returned an error, but you could actually do it pretty easily with javascript using the classes from the errors in

I'll be honest - I'm not much of a general "news" kind of guy. Oddly enough, reading about tragedy and injustice sort of bums me out. But in this case the image of the man who was shot grabbed my attention and made my heart fucking drop - he was wearing a Pure Pwnage hat. Immediately I re-read the headline and image caption, admittedly slightly panicked at the idea that I may have misinterpreted it and some Pure Pwnage fan had gone out and shot up a mall or something crazy that Jack Thompson would inevitably blame on my monitor humping adventures. Thankfully, the gamer in this case was the hero.
I'm no journalist, so I'm not going to tell you the story. You can read about it here or here. I'm posting about this because nowhere have I read, nor would I ever expect to read, a headline such as: "Man saves security guard, video games credited for heroics". Yet somehow if the situation were different, and Adam had instead been some ball-less video-gaming metal-listening commuter-shooting robber, someone would be up this story's ass in a Nintendo-second with claims equally as absurd - I'd bet my original gold Legend of Zelda NES cartridge on it. "Completely insane fucker shoots people, video games obviously at fault...... lack of frontal lobe was not a factor, says local moron". Both perspectives are ridiculous but only one gets printed regularly, so I'm here to help balance that out. I'll save the whole "art influences" tirade for its own blog post.
Of course, video games don't actually have anything to do with what happened. It's one thing to fantasize about being a hero and another entirely to make a heroic split-second decision in real life. Adam didn't intervene because he has mad headshotting skillz in CS 1.6, or because he has good taste in music. He did what he did because

5 Terrifying Secrets About Riding in an Ambulance
#2. Procedures Are Constantly Changing, Then Sometimes Changing Back
Even if you've never taken a class in CPR, you know the general concept: If someone isn't breathing and doesn't have a pulse, then it's time to open up a can of CPR (and no, that's not the can with the blue ribbon on it). You do the chest compressions and pause between every few to do mouth-to-mouth.
Well, you're doing it wrong. A while back, EMTs had to unlearn all of that -- it turns out CPR actually works better without the mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths. There are studies that show that CPR performed with only chest compressions results in 60 percent fewer dead people. In fact, traditional CPR with mouth-to-mouth is often as effective as doing nothing at all, except when CPR is being performed on small children.
"Let him go. Even if he survives, he'll never dance again."
Hey, what about another staple of movie emergency medicine: the tourniquet? You know, somebody is bleeding badly, so they use a belt or rope to tie off the limb to stop the bleeding. Are EMTs supposed to do that? It depends on who you ask, and in fact varies from one ambulance service to the next. Some experts still stand by them, some say they just kill off tissue in the limb. Learn it today, unlearn it tomorrow. Relearn it again next month.
And that's par for the course; crews will often be trained on new gadgets, only to see them yanked later when it turns out they don't actually work (like medical anti-shock trousers that came in and out of fashion in the '80s and '90s).
Also, the patients are changing. Specifically, they are getting fatter. A heavy patient is going to need the same kind of attention as an average-size patient, but the methods must be altered dramatically, much like the Boba Fett costume the aforementioned heavy patient purchased from eBay last Halloween. Crews have had to completely rethink logistical problems with getting obese patients out of buildings with narrow halls, doors and stairs without everyone on the crew throwing their back out. It also means new equipment, as ambulance services across the country have to buy vehicles with specialized cots, ramps and winches to lift patients weighing between 350 pounds and Mighty Joe Young.
Via Pantagraph.com
In case of emergency, the winch is made of chocolate.
The ambulances themselves have to change to accommodate this, too -- they have ushered in the use of bariatric ambulances, or "fat trucks." These are designed to be double-wide to accommodate heavier passengers, or as this article literally stated, "to ferry the most obese."
Via Adam Harnett
And they're occasionally used to render aid to beached whales.
But nothing you see there addresses the difficulty of removing a patient weighing just shy of a ton from the seventh floor of an apartment building when they literally cannot even fit through the doorway. Presumably at this point, the EMTs just start a controlled blaze in the lobby and let the fire department come figure it out.
#1. Crews Are Constantly Getting Attacked
You might expect EMTs to be relatively safe when dealing with patients -- after all, they are there to help. But in fact, EMTs face a lot of danger in the field, and they do so without the weapons and authority that police officers have. EMTs have been hit with cinder blocks, stabbed by syringes (often still filled with drugs), chased by dogs and shot at on a regular basis. In Boston, for instance, 28 percent of total EMT injuries in 2006 were the result of violent assaults.
"Sir, we're here to help. I'm gonna have to axe you to put that down."
One study conducted in 1999 found that, over a 12-year period, each paramedic involved was assaulted an average of nine times, with the attacks reading like a laundry list of every injury sustained by Christopher Lambert in The Highlander, including "170 cases of blunt trauma, 73 lacerations, two gunshot wounds, 10 stabbings, one burn, eight fractures, nine dislocations, one choking and 56 cases of miscellaneous body injuries."
Not all of them are work-related.
Sure, part of it is because they have to plunge into the bad parts of town no matter what time of night. But even in the nice parts of town, they're still not safe, and it's often because of the patients themselves. Sometimes patients are panicking, sometimes they're drunk or high or in shock. And of course, sometimes they're just insane.
And it isn't just the patients who can pose a threat to an EMT -- they can encounter hysterical family members and violent bystanders who attack them out of misplaced blame and rage. At which point we're assuming the universal answer to them is "Hey, just be glad this ambulance hasn't exploded yet."

An ordinance aimed at the prevention of animal hoarding will soon be up for a vote in Franklin.
The Franklin City Commission is considering a new animal control ordinance prohibiting pet hoarding, but no specifics on the number of animals has been outlined.
The Simpson County Animal Shelter has some concerns about the proposal.
"Some people can have eight or ten animals and take very good care of them, and I wouldn't consider that hoarding. I don't really want to see a number that limits anybody, but I definitely want to see something more focused on the care of the animals," said Simpson County Animal Shelter Director Ruth Garriott.
Garriott says she hopes the ordinance addresses things like housing, food and vaccinations.
She says she has a meeting with city commissioners to discuss the shelter's concerns, before they vote on the issue.
The next commission meeting is scheduled for next Monday.

Lets say we have two or more players that collude together playing online poker against honest players. They have an obvious advantage of knowing about more cards that are in the play than they should, and they can strategically bet against one another to increase the pot (encouraging other players to play in hopes of winning). On the other hand, they also have an obvious disadvantage - they need to split their winnings and also stand to lose more money.
Do such players overall are expected to win more money in the end, or are their cheating attempts ultimately useless? Has such a problem perhaps been analysed scientifically?

City of Weirton, you have to be kidding me about last Tuesday canceling garbage pick-up. You were concerned about your employees being in harm's way. Just as I am thinking what about the bad winter weather? That should be your concern with your employees walking and coming down steep hills.
I think you jumped the gun, as did Hancock County Schools.

First Halo concept art reveals new location that "features prominently" in Xbox One gameWritten by: / / 2 Comments
After announcing a host of changes at Halo developer 343 Industries, executive producer Josh Holmes posted the first piece of concept art to escape the studio.
The artwork was created by newly appointed Halo art director, Nicolas 'Sparth' Bouvier, who has over seventeen years of visual design experience – jump through that link to see his other astounding artwork and a few other pieces of Halo concept art (presumably for Halo 4).
Writing on Halo Waypoint, Holmes wrote:
"In closing, I will leave you with this image from Sparth – an early exploration of a new location that features prominently in a little game project we're tinkering with…"
Here it is (click to enlarge):
What purpose do you think this location serves? Does it look like a city, training facility or factory to you, or maybe something else?
You can get that artwork in different resolutions to use as a wallpaper (or whatever else you wish) at the Halo Waypoint blog.
Microsoft has confirmed multiple times that Halo on Xbox One is due for release in 2014, so look forward to that this year.

I did my Masters from GGU- School of Biotechnology followed by project fellowship at CCMB, Hyderabad, India. I moved to Denmark in 2004 to start my PhD before I worked at Biosolutions and Cenitech, Hyderabad, India. Computational Biology fascinated me even before my under graduate schooling just because I was very poor in practising wet lab ;) research.
I'm a dry biologist curious to know how of a biology of a system. My interests are to study protein-protein interactions and top-down systems biology of hypothetical proteins in human, focusing on Mitochondrial proteins.

Why is shipping never posted?
This will look great in my meth lab!
(Really, do these have normal kitchen uses? Mojitos, maybe?)
@i1patrick: No, of course there's absolutely no way a traditional Mexican grinding tool has any "normal kitchen use" whatsoever.
Definitely couldn't ever be used for something like grinding herbs and spices.
Nope, only for meth.
@stryker4526: agreed.
My mom used it all the time for making all sorts of Mexican dishes, to me, its weird if I see a kitchen without one.
@stryker4526: It was an honest question (my admittedly dumb joke not withstanding). Not a kitchen guy, so I don't have much frame of reference.
@i1patrick: Well you don't see them used so often anymore I think. It's more common now to just buy pre-ground herbs and spices in the little plastic shakers from McCormick or whoever.
Same way you don't see any other version of a mortar and pestle used really.
That actually seems like a good price.... if I didn't already have one.
The one I have is HEAVY as all get out and I don't think it'll hold 4 cups... and I believe it cost twice as much as this.
I've had one for about seven years and use it all the time. It's great for a variety of things, but definitely for the home cook who is a little more adventurous. It takes a bit longer than just buying prefab ingredients, but is well worth the extra flavor and freshness. For me, it's a go to tool that I use several times a week. I make my own chinese five spice, pestos, BBQ rubs, salsa bases, etc in it. As to price, this is way better than what you'd find at mid to high end kitchen ware stores. If you live near a robust Latino community, you might be able to get it similarly prices with a lot more effort. (For reference, WS has it for $49.99).
It's also very easy to clean as long as you get a course brush.
Works well for blending pre-ground spices as well.
I'll use this to grind up my strategically placed red and green herbs I find near abandoned subway stations during a zombie outbreak

President Barack Obama listens as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney answers a question during the first presidential debate at the University of Denver, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012, in Denver.
(CBS News) Seeking to rebound from a debate performance widely panned as lackluster, President Obama and his campaign on Thursday staked out their message for the days ahead, painting Mitt Romney as a "serial evader" whose slick performance belies a troubling lack of policy specifics.
Obama's campaign seemed to concede the strength of Romney's performance Wednesday night, with the president describing Romney as a "spirited fellow" at a campaign stop in Denver on Thursday, and with deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, during post-debate spin on Wednesday, allowing that Romney "wins the style points."
But the president and his team believe that Romney, smooth onstage operator that he was, nonetheless opened himself to criticism that his tax reform, health care, and Wall Street regulation proposals are a smokescreen - all show, no substance.
Mr. Obama began prosecuting the case against Romney's vague proposals at the debate, explaining, "He says he's going to close deductions and loopholes for his tax plan. That's how it's going to be paid for but we don't know the details. He says that he's going to replace Dodd-Frank, Wall Street reform. But we don't know exactly which ones. He won't tell us. He now says he's going to replace Obamacare and assure all the good things that are in it are going to be in there and you don't have to worry."
"And at some point I think the American people have to ask themselves: Is the reason that Governor Romney is keeping all these plans to replace secret because they're too good?"
The moment was largely lost amid the near-unanimous verdict that Mr. Obama failed to connect, but Cutter pressed the narrative further immediately after the debate, telling CNN, "[Romney] talked to the American people about his plan to repeal Wall Street reform, but couldn't name one single regulation he'd put in place on Wall Street. Talked to the American people about how he doesn't really have a $5 trillion tax cut, which he has been campaigning on for 18 months. So I don't think they leave this debate tonight having any better idea of where Mitt Romney is going to take this country."
Chief Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod sounded a similar note in a post-debate interview with NBC, saying, "Gov. Romney has always been good on the attack. You saw that during the primaries. What he's not very good at is offering specifics."
It was a charge that Mr. Obama took up himself in Denver on Thursday, delivering a stump performance that was as energized as his debate performance was effete. "When I got onto the stage I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But it couldn't have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country all year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. The fellow onstage last night said he didn't know anything about that," the president said.
"So you see, the man onstage last night -- he doesn't want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney and what he's been saying for the last year, and that's because he knows full well we don't want what the real Mitt Romney has been selling for the last year."
The emerging rejoinder was crystallized in a new ad from the Obama campaign released Thursday in which the narrator asks, "Why won't Romney level with us about his tax plan, which gives the wealthy huge new tax breaks? Because according to experts, he'd have to raise taxes on the middle class - or increase the deficit to pay for it."
The ad links Romney's vague proposals to a broader question about trustworthiness, asking voters how they could trust Mitt Romney in the Oval Office if he will not level with them at a debate.

Lately I've been trying to satisfy some curiosity about the nature of limits and I found this example, it's really bugging me that I can't solve it. It seems so simple, yet when I attempt to solve it, it's like I'm trapped in a loop. Everything I do, undos the previous action.
I'll take anything you can give, a solution, a good hint... I tried manipulating the expression without changing it, but I can't get through it.

Best "Balancing Acts" You've Seen??

In the video ABT Now, Paloma Herrera's balance in the Don Q pas is amazing. At one point Angel Corella offers his hand, and instead of taking it she just allonges out of attitude to arabesque... and he just gets out of the way. My jaw hit the floor.
Appropos of that, I saw them do Swan Lake a few years ago, and during Black Swan pdd, she balanced so long, they were getting severely behind the music, so Angel had to poke her (v.subtly of course) to come off pointe and continue the dance.
My favorite memory of great balances was Jennifer Gelfand of Boston Ballet in Sleeping Beauty. She was also a prodigious turner.

I must say that Viengsay Valdes of Cuba is amazing in her ability to hold a balance. I have never seen her live, but there is evidence on YouTube that I have seen in addition to cubanmiamiboy's posting. Wow!
And now...thankfully, someone just posted her OUT OF THIS WORLD Rose Adagio..!! Have to be seen to be believed...(particularly the last set of balances... )

There are some things I miss from the versions of the RA that I'm most familiar with, though, and I'd be very interested in seeing what this dancer would do with them. I'm very fond of the series of port de bras that Aurora does downstage center while bourreeing in place, with the music roiling underneath her -- they have a lovely renverse quality that is echoed later in the dance with a true renverse -- in this version that is replaced with a series of lifts crossing the stage. They are quite pretty, and done very well, but I miss the other, simpler, sequence.
Changes like that one might connect to the conversation elsewhere on the website about virtuosity. I don't think anyone would argue that Valdes' use of balance here is not an act of virtuosity -- an impressive example of heightened physical ability used within an aesthetic framework. But there are places where that kind of heightened ability is misused, displayed for its own sake rather than to support the overall effect of the dancework.
Posted 19 August 2010 - 08:09 AM
Sandik, I agree about the hand-kissing. A very nice touch. Another smaller detail I liked: the grace with which she handled the flowers, making them a part of the choreography.
Oh yes -- I really liked the 'kiss the hand' detail! And Valdes does indeed seem to have a very stable center of gravity here, which lets her make decisions about how long to stay somewhere and how to make a transition in and out of a position.
Thinking of other Auroras, I can't recall anything like the way Valdes handled that last set of balances. She really makes them a climax rather than just the end of a series of combinations. Each prince extends his hand as soon as he is next to her. This (it seemed to me) was rather assertive, even brusque, as in "I'll help you, lady.". Instead of taking the hand, she raises her arms in couronne for her extended balance. No weakness or submissiveness about THIS princess. She has grown in stature right before our eyes.
Thanks, Cristian, for this link. Ballerinas like Valdes need more exposure on BT. There appears to be a distinct "Cuban" combination of virtuosity and artistry that we need the chance to see more of. As sandik writes:

What I loved about the performance was how Valdes maintained a sense of modesty throughout the glitz and the big moves, with details like the one that bart describes of making the flowers part of the choreography, the way she took a longish look at her parents after putting down the flowers, and engaging with all of the princes. In terms of virtuosity, the height for me was the way she went quickly, without hesitation, with a quick step-step, into the first of the final attitude balances, and the first prince started to promenade her a beat after her supporting pointe hit the ground. That was fearless.

I have such mixed feelings about the choreography and performance. I mostly dislike how the music is slowed to molasses to support the first set of balances. In many ways the changes to the choreography make it immodest, the big lifts in particular.
I had real mixed feelings viewing this clip; some were issues with the version used and other with Valdes' uneven execution of them. Overall the tempo is very slow and this drains the scene of some of the energy it should have. I miss very much, like Sandik, the sequence where Aurora bourres with the port de bras (the lifts put in their place are sort of cheesey and NOT very classical) and I miss the other sequence where Aurora does a series of penchees along a diagonal line of kneeling pages. Some versions have Aurora putting her hand on the pages shoulder and others have her keeping her hand in place instead but I prefer either to how the sequence is done here with the princes.
It's very true that Valdes has outstanding balances and I liked the second sequence with the promenades better than the first but at the end she leaves the world of viruosity and crossed the line into the are of showing off for showing off's sake. She simply omits the fourth promenade. With regards to consistency and sense of musicality and line she's weak, the sequence where she collects the last set of roses has her taking each rose the a prince , doing a developpe and continuing to the next prince , something very traditional to me. But the first two developpes have her raising her leg to about 90 degrees but the last two have showgirl type kicks up to about 165 degrees. Shouldn't they be consistent?
And throughout, Valdes does not have a very striking sense of basic movement. She's a true virtuoso but not much of a classical ballerina.
Virtuoso can also exist in more subtle forms such as infusing the steps with energy and radiance. Also real excitement can be created but taking all the sequence and connecting them into a seamless whole. A very different type of virtuosity is shown in the clip I'm posting, there are no long balances (although I've seen Fonteyn do some very impressive ones in this scene, most notably in her very last Aurora in NYC around 1973-74) but there is a tremendous energy and sweep, an exhilarating rush that build up to a terrific climax. And throughout her sense of line and musicality remains a touchpoint for me.
Unfortunately the clip only has the second part of the scene starting with the bourres but I really prefer this version to Fonteyn's other filmed RAs. And notice how far the princes are from her in the final promenades, this is deliberate, Fonteyn
wanted to increase the audience's perception of of the risks she took.
Virtuosity can take many forms, indeed!

Posted 19 August 2010 - 07:14 PM
Comparing the two, Valdes' version does seem tailored to highlight her special talent for balancing, making that the focus of the performance.
Fonteyn's performance has much more in the way of visual dynamics. There's an arc that seems to build in intensity through the final balances and towards the final supported pirouettes (and then the lovely curtsy).
Valdes' music, on the other hand, seems to slow down for the awesome final balances. The final pirouettes came across (for me at least) as rather anticlimactic.
It's amazing how tempo can completely change the energy level and visual focus of a performance.

Agree, agree. agree and agree. This is precisely why I posted Valdes clip under this "Best balancing act" thread...
Now, about the "Best interpretation of the Rose Adagio's pathos, either musically or balletic", no doubt that many other versions and interpreters can come across as better choices.

WINTERSVILLE - At 87, Andy DiPalma could certainly have found something at home to keep him busy.
Instead, the Steubenville resident was standing in the Indian Creek High School auditorium Thursday, one of hundreds of area residents who waited for hours for a chance to hear former President Bill Clinton talk presidential politics.
DiPalma said he didn't mind the wait.
Article Photos
ON HAND TO SEE PRESIDENT — Steubenville resident Alex Lyons brought a copy of President Clinton's autobiography, "My Life," to Thursday's Obama-Biden rally, hoping to get the former commander-in-chief's autograph.
-- Linda Harris
WATCHING CLINTON — Bobbi Taylor sees health care as the most important issue facing voters in the 2012 election. Taylor, a Wheeling resident, said she couldn't pass up the chance to hear former President Bill Clinton in person during a campaign stop Thursday in Wintersville.
-- Linda Harris
"Obama's my man," the World War II veteran said, a smile lighting his face. "I think he's got a good start and he wants to do the job. He's for the regular people - that's what I fought for."
It was a diverse crowd that greeted the former president: All ages, all races, all applauding wildly when he broached topics near and dear to the hearts of Ohio Valley residents - health care, Medicare, coal, education.
Belinda Puchajda of Lisbon said there was never any doubt that she'd be there.
"My mother adored him," she said, a picture of her mother pressed against her side. "She passed away April 27. A friend of mine went to the inauguration and asked my mom if he could bring something back for her. She said, 'Yeah, Bill Clinton.' She just loved him."
Puchajda, 48, said she's worried about funding for education and creating more jobs, "union jobs," and said she likes what she's hearing from the Democratic camp.
"Unions are what built America," she said. "We need to stand behind them and support them."
Dewighca Dawson, a Steubenville resident, thought it important enough to be there to witness a bit of history in the making that she brought her three children - ages 17, 10 and 6.
"It's the chance of a lifetime," said Dawson, 35. "I wasn't alive when Kennedy was president. I actually went back and did some research. I think Obama has a lot of the same qualities Kennedy had. I know a lot of African-Americans vote for him because he's black, but I'm voting for him because he's the better candidate. It has nothing to do with race."
Wheeling residents Bobbi Taylor and her 21-year-old daughter, Angela, said they love Clinton, "and we want to support Obama because of health care."
"It's very important to me," said Angela, who suffers from auto-immune disorders and arthritis. "I'm not insurable. My brain is healthy, my body sucks. I want to own my own business in the future, and I want to be able to take charge of my own health care and my employees' health care."
Alex Lyons, a Steubenville resident, clutched a copy of Clinton's autobiography under one arm, hoping for a chance to get the ex-president to autograph it.
"He seems like such an ordinary person," Lyons said. "He plays the sax, he's down to earth. I'm a fan of Bill Clinton, but I already voted for Obama."
Jean Isler of Steubenville gave the former president high marks for his remarks, "especially on health care."
"My husband has diabetes," Isler said. "We've been dealing with it for years. I also have a friend fighting for Medicare. What he said about Medicare, about health care - that's what I wanted to hear. When I get to that age, I want to know it's going to be there for me, too."
Linda Pickenpaugh of Belmont said the idea of staying home never crossed her mind.
"Rain wasn't going to keep us away," she said. "Why? Because this country is important to me. I think he clearly delineated the major differences between the two candidates, the main one being that what Romney proposes is returning to the same policies that got us into economic problems in the first place. We're headed toward recovery now - it's a difficult process, it's going to be slow, but it's happening."
Afterwards, Indian Creek Superintendent John Rocchi said it had been a challenge, "but I think the outcome is positive for our community."
"Being able to see a former president of the United States here - I think it's the first time in the school's history that we've had someone of that stature," Rocchi said. "That's the positive we're looking at. We're not supporting one party or another, we just want people to get out and vote."
Barb Terry, a Mingo Junction resident and Indian Creek employee, clutched a copy of a memoir written by her sister-in-law, Carlotta Walls Lanier, on the Little Rock Seven, which included a foreward written by Clinton himself.
"Look," she said proudly. "He signed it ... 'To Barb: Carlotta's wonderful.' That means the world to me. For him to write that ... I can't wait to call Carlotta and tell her."
And Terry said she loved Clinton's speech
"I was so inspired," she said. "He nailed it, everything he said. He did a wonderful job. It brought tears to my eyes just to be here."

Adam Grampp pulls the 2004 Site Commander onto another jobsite and watches workers drain from the upper levels to check out this year's Ultimate Work Truck and try out all the tools packed into its compartments. It's as if they were waiting for him to arrive. And they were.
"These guys have been looking forward to the Site Commander coming for a long time," Grampp says. "A lot of them have known we were coming after tracking the tour in Tools of the Trade and on the Site Commander Web site." Grampp is this year's tour ambassador, guiding the truck and trailer onto hundreds of jobsites coast to coast and helping Hilti regional managers demonstrate the tools and equipment at Hilti Retail Centers in every major market in the country. "The typical jobsite crowd will be around 150 workers who come down during their break to check us out," says Grampp. "Then we'll go to the Hilti Center where we'll see 50 or 60 more."
This year's Site Commander is built onto a 2004 Ford F-550 Crew Cab platform and includes a 7.3-liter Powerstroke turbo diesel engine, five-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel anti-lock braking system. This truck leads the industry in comfort, power, and space.
This is our fifth year bringing Tools of the Trade's Site Commander to construction workers across the country, and it has generated the same kind of enthusiasm and excitement as it did the first year. Our goal each year is to show contractors and crews the latest in work truck features and professional construction tools that will help increase jobsite productivity and efficiency, and improve workers' performance and safety.
Again this year, we've assembled the truck, accessories, tools, and systems from the leaders in each category that best combine to achieve these goals. Ford's 2004F-550 Crew Cab platform is the workhorse driving the Site Commander this year. With a big 7.3-liter Powerstroke turbo diesel engine, this truck has power to spare and room to carry a full crew and all the tools it could need.
And have we got tools. Once again, our Official Tool Sponsor, Hilti, loaded the truck with a complete line of corded and cordless power tools, the company's leading fastening systems, and unique cutting, drilling, chipping, and coring systems. And this year Hilti continued to introduce its newest line of woodworking tools, using the Site Commander as a launch pad.
As usual, we had a long list of work to do and a short time to do it to get the Site Commander ready for its first appearance at the World of Concrete show in Orlando, Fla., last February, but we made it! With the truck finally in its work bay at our St. Louis build-out shop at Craftsmen Industries, we assembled all the parts, tools, racks, rollers, and welders that would transform the Ford F-550 chassis into the latest Site Commander. Designers and mechanics at Craftsmen worked closely with Peter Hempenstall at Reading Truck Body, Gene McBroom and Bryan Baker at A.R.E., and engineers at Cross Tread Industries and Sure Glide, integrating the Site Commander's utility body, cap, ladder rack, and roll-out storage installations. Hilti team members Steve Bishop, Leah Kelso, Paula Bell, and Tim Henry specified the tools that would be on this year's tour, and designated their placement into the compartments.
On behalf of the team of sponsors, we're proud to bring you the 2004 Site Commander–the ultimate work truck for the trades.
The 2004 Site Commander Sweepstakes ended October 31, 2004 -- so keep an eye out to see who won the $93,739 Grand Prize in our January issue. Thanks to everyone who came out to see the Site Commander and entered the sweepstakes. We'll let you know when the 2005 Site Commander hits the road for another exciting tour and sweepstakes giveaway. To learn more about the Site Commander, visit www.thesitecommander.com.

The Site Commander is equipped with a full line of Hilti tools for concrete and masonry work: high-quality tools for cutting, coring, drilling, chipping, and grinding. Hilti rotating laser levels, range meters, and electronic detectors help ensure accurate layout. And this year Hilti introduced an expanding line of woodworking tools.

The Site Commander looks great going down the road, but its inner beauty really shines when it's on the jobsite - with all the doors open. The Reading Truck Body service/utility body provides maximum tool storage, convenience, security, and durability. And A.R.E.'s Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) truck cap encloses the Site Commander's body and increases tool storage with side-load tool compartments, as well as rear-bed storage for large tools and equipment.
Reading Truck Body features Reading's Classic II service bodies provide convenient and secure storage for the Site Commander's full load of tools. Features include:
A.R.E. cap features
Sure Glide Bed Extender Sure Glide's rear bed extender is still the best one we've seen. Tools and equipment stored in the rear of the Site Commander are easily accessible. The drawer rolls in and out easily and can carry a real load of heavy-duty tools.
Cross Tread Ladder Rack
This ladder rack is strong, sleek, and ready for work. The Site Commander rack features:
