Titanfall has gone gold and is ready for launch in MarchWritten by: / / 5 Comments
It's been a wild ride since the announcement of the game at E3 2013, and now that we're under two weeks away from launch Respawn Entertainment recently revealed that Titanfall has gone gold on Xbox One, and is ready for launch.
The news was shared on Respawn's official Twitter account with an image of what appears to be a sealed copy of the game on Xbox One, which combined with the recent unboxing video for the collector's edition of the game, leads us to believe that Titanfall has been ready for manufacture for at least a few days already.
We'll have to wait to hear about the gold status of the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, though, seeing as how that version of the game will only be available at the end of March following a two week delay.
For now, however, you can celebrate the completion of the Xbox One (and presumably PC) version of Titanfall with Respawn with the announcement and image below:
We're gold!!!!!! #titanfall http://t.co/wnaBNIVBa8
— Respawn (@Respawn) February 27, 2014
Titanfall is out on Xbox One and PC on March 11th in North America, March 13th in Europe and March 14th in the UK. The Xbox 360 version is out on March 25th in North America, and March 28th in the UK and Europe following a delay.
The previously announced collector's edition recently got a glorious unboxing video to showcase its contents – take a look over here.
Have you waded through El33tonline's already extensive current and continued coverage? You can find even more videos, screenshots and details. Also don't miss El33tonline's hands-on preview of Titanfall, as well as our impressions of the game from E3 2013, and our in-depth interview with producer Drew McCoy.

TRAINING: Jefferson County's Leadership Training program is now taking applications for the 2012-13 year.
Sponsored by the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, the objective of the project is to help develop future leaders for Jefferson County by making participants familiar with area institutions and facilities, as well as teaching them various leadership skills.
The year's programming will kick off with an all-day retreat on Oct. 2 at Eastern Gateway Community College's Pugliese Training Center. Ed Florak, professional trainer and motivational speaker, will conduct the first meeting, with an inter-active program centered around determining individual leadership style and utilizing it more effectively.
Other classes will be held at various locations throughout the area and will give class members the opportunity to interact with governmental and economic leaders on an up-close-and-personal basis. A legislative day in Columbus is scheduled in May, which will include meeting with legislators and observing a legislative session.
Other topics to be addressed include local history, social services, local government, how to work with the media, education, group dynamics and leadership skills. Classes will be a mix of full- and half-day sessions and usually will meet the first Tuesday of each month from October through May.
The Leadership Project is facilitated by Eliza Kelley, Jefferson County Community Action Council, and Melanie DiCarlo, Eastern Gateway Community College. The fee is $295 for candidates sponsored by Chamber members, and $350 for nonmember applications. Deadline to apply is Sept. 14. For information, contact Kelley at (740) 282-0971.

On my Android phone, I have my Facebook contacts synched with my Gmail, but not on desktop.
Is it possible to make desktop Gmail sync/import my Facebook contacts? Email, phone, name, etc.
There's no direct way of getting Facebook contacts to Gmail especially since a spat between Google and Facebook re social graph ownership. There is, however, a roundabout half-way of doing it via Yahoo Mail.
Yahoo Mail allows download of Facebook friends' emails. Then, if you can sync up Yahoo and Gmail you'll get to your target.
This second bit also got trickier since the great contacts sync tool Plaxo removed scheduled sync of Yahoo accounts... They still allow manual pull of contacts from Yahoo (as well as Facebook, as a matter of fact) but it's not real syncing.
This is the closest you can easily get to in terms of getting your Facebook friends into your Gmail contacts permanently.

Auctioneer users probably already realise this… but just in case you are wondering, there is a new version of Auctioneer released to coincide with patch 3.02
No longer a prerelease, this is a fully fledged release: 5.1
Norganna says:
I am pleased to announce that we have the Auctioneer 5.1 release ready to go.
The 5.1 release is for WoW 3.0.2 (TOC version 30000), and while we still have the version 5.0 Auctioneer available for downloads on the download page, this version is for the European users who still have not patched yet.
As is always the case on patch days, there's likely to be things that have gone awry. We've tried the best we can to predict all possible outcomes, but ultimately we have only been able to test on the PTR, the same as you guys, and there's no guarantees that the live 3.0.2 will act exactly the same as the PTR, so if you find any bugs, please report them back as soon as possible, and please, please, please backup your WoW/WTF folder first thing, OK? We don't want you to be telling us you forgot when we ask you if you made backups.
Ok, kids go get 'em, and remember, there's no "I" in "Team"!
Some bold and underlining by me for emphasis…!
Go get it!
Gnomer and Out!

The Geismar capacity will be increased to 500,000 tpy, up
from 450,000 tpy, through improved process technology developed by Huntsman,
the company said.
The expansion will enable Huntsman to
support the growth of its key customers and leverages the
significant advantages of the Geismar site, with its access to
US shale gas, strong logistics base and excellent integration, according to Huntsman
The new capacity is expected to come on-stream in 2014 and will
further consolidate Huntsman's position as the leading MDI
producer in the Americas region, the company said.
At its Rotterdam facility, Huntsman is commissioning a new
state-of-the-art MDI splitter and downstream specialties
manufacturing unit, which the company says will
better enable it to serve customers with a full range
of next-generation, differentiated polyurethane products for
automotive, adhesives, coatings and other applications.
The unit is designed to handle globally sourced MDI precursor
and will be operational by the end of March.
"The Geismar investment enables us to strengthen our
upstream cost leadership position, while the Rotterdam
investment gives us greater flexibility to provide downstream,
customized products," said Anthony P. Hankins, president
of Huntsman Polyurethanes.
"The benefits of US shale gas have significantly improved the
economics of investing in US facilities, and Huntsman has a
number of other investments planned which will take advantage
of lower cost natural gas."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I have read several questions (here and elsewhere) that look for applications that can save in a format instead of export in a format. What is the difference between saving in a format, and exporting in a format? Is it just that there is an additional dialog box, or does an exported file in some way behave differently? Is this a style over substance issue?
I have no problem with people wanting things the WAY they want them, I just want to understand if there is a fundamental difference in the function of an exported over the function of a saved file.
Examples: Pages exports in formats that Open Office saves in. Pixelmator exports in formats that PhotoShop saves in (so I've been told).

ssh-keygen defaults to creating RSA keys, but
gpg --gen-key prefers DSA/ElGamal.
Which one - RSA or DSA - is better for GPG?
Which one - RSA or DSA - is better for GPG?
The GPG maintainers are thinking of changing the default to RSA (source: Dealing with weakness in SHA-1 [LWN.net]). So, it seems they think RSA is currently the better option (and they should know more about it than you or me).
RSA and DSA - misconceptions and useful information
In 2003, RSA vs DSA Signatures - The Winner is... -- RSA.
Recent IETF Draft: DSA with SHA-2 for DNSSEC, Expiring Jan 7, 2010.
But, this is only a draft at the moment.
Everyone loves the verification speed of RSA(!).
RSA. There were some weaknesses discovered in SHA-1, which is the hash used by DSA. Debian are migrating all their keys from DSA to RSA.
Quoting a forum discussion:
I think that if you're using it in a standard way (i.e. you don't encrypt a huge amount of data) they'll both do well.
I would personally choose RSA because I've learned the algorithm, and it's one of the most beautiful algorithms I've ever seen.
Also the use of SHA-2 algorithms is possible and allowed since current revision of DSS; but I was unable to find out which revision GPG follows.
Concerning to the current DSS specification (FIPS-186-3, p. i) any hash function specified in the SHS (FIPS-180-3, p. iv) may be used:
To the question: Both algorithms are based on mathematical problems which are not proven to be secure (RSA uses the problem of factorizing numbers and DSA uses the discrete logarithm problem), you cannot say one is more secure than the other, because not the one problem nor the other has ever been solved.
But by using DSA with SHA-1 you may have a security problem, as already said by pgs.
The fact is it probably doesn't matter much to you :) As part of preparing to generate a key-pair and as part of maintaining existing key-pairs - regardless of what asymmetric crypto you choose you should be : 1) checking current recommended key lengths 2) chose a base/modulo to optimize for signing, or verification - depending on what will be doen more often (keys to be used in issuing TLS/SSL server certificates should be optimized for verification since every web browser will check the signature... keys used to be used in signing software should be similarly optimized) 3) make sure you age your keys - been using the same key for ssh-auth for a few years, might be time to regen even if you chose a key size that is still reasonable for the application today.
Both RSA and DSA have been substantially evaluated; if you are using a realiable code base (RSAREF, RSA commercial, Mozilla/Netscape, Microsoft, OpenSSL, ...) then you probably don't care which cryptosystem you use so long as you use it correctly and utilize current best practices

This undated photo provided by the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, Italy, Wednesday, June 11, 2008, shows a deer with a single horn in the center of its head. The one-year-old Roe Deer - nicknamed "Unicorn'' - was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences, said. He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns. (AP Photo/Center of Natural Sciences, ho) ** EDITORIAL USE ONLY **
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Deer herds are a little thinner in a couple Kansas counties because of a seasonal virus that might be worse than normal because of the summer's drought.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports dozens of dead deer have been found near lakes and ponds in Douglas and Franklin counties. A spokesman for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says about 400 deer deaths from epizootic hemorrhagic disease have been reported.
Wildlife and disease coordinator Shane Hesting says the disease has affected only a small portion of a total deer population that exceeds half a million.
Hesting says this year's death toll was higher than normal because of receding waters in lakes and ponds that exposed more mud, which is breeding ground for tiny flies that carry the disease.

5 Manliest Hobbies You've Never Heard of
#2. Volcano Boarding
Volcano boarding is a sport so extreme that we're legally obligated to mention Monster Energy Drinks and the word "stoked" every time we bring it up. It was invented by Australian (of course) tour guide Darryn Webb who'd spent a good deal of his childhood learning to sandboard in the dunes of Queensland. So, while vacationing in Central America, he took one look at the Cerro Negro, a volcano so dangerous that it's erupted no fewer than 23 times in its 159 years of existence and said, "Same thing."
Via Uncrate.com
In his spare time, he shits continents.
Excited to try out his new idea, Webb attempted to ride down first on a mattress, and then, because he's apparently living his life in a Mentos commercial, on a minibar fridge (seriously, what the hell?).
"Mentos. 'We'll just watch from here.' "
Finally, he crafted the current design for the volcano board -- a hunk of plywood, because apparently, the best protection against a molten-spewing mountain is a flammable sled. But don't worry -- riders are also equipped with an orange jumpsuit and goggles, which will at least keep their vision from blurring when they're swept away by a river of magma.

#1. Train Surfing
If the prospect of getting decapitated by a tunnel or living the rest of your life with a scab for a scalp sounds appealing, have we got the game for you!
Via Topnews.ru
Train surfing picks up where train hoboing left off. But instead of operating out of a sense of desperation and hunger, train surfers do their best work under the influence if idiocy and alcohol.
Via Herald Sun
And hoodies, apparently.
The idea is simple: jump on a train, literally, and ride it with nothing but the occasional windshield wiper or air to hang onto. "S-Bahn" surfing, as it was known in its homeland of Germany, originated in the 1980s and swiftly grew into an epidemic by the next decade, thanks in part to constant media coverage. After a temporary relapse, the hardest core of hardcore train-related activities reemerged in 2005, when a mysterious man named the "Trainrider" climbed aboard Deutschland's fastest express and rode the bastard all the way down. In 2008, 40 kids died trying to do the same.
But don't make the mistake of thinking Germans have a monopoly on stupid. South African surfers hang off the train itself, running their feet in the gravel like Wile E. Coyotes, only without a definitive goal in mind.
CBS News
The incredibly difficult "kiss your shoulder before you fucking die" maneuver.
And that's when they're not using the speeding train roofs as their personal dance floors. And as one YouTube commenter pointed out, riders all seem to be a variation of the Cosby shuffle:
So we should probably give South African train surfers the trophy for most undignified way to die of all time: getting electrocuted while shimmying like Bill Cosby on top of a moving train. Good job, guys.

Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade[ Edited ]
07-31-2014 06:59 AM - edited 08-02-2014 10:47 PM
Hello - Looking for Help with info for a possible CPU upgrade
Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX Notebook PC....
Motherboard is HP spare no. 488338-001. Its the one with onboard nVidia graphics and hdmi output.
Heres an example from eBay:
The current CPU is an Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.0Ghz, with 800Mhz FSB, socket P...
see: http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLGJN.html
The options available in the CQ60 User Guide link: item 13 down:
relate only to the:
T3200 CPU http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QB/QBNT.html
and T3400 CPU http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QG/QGFM.html
processors respectively both with a FSB of 667Mhz. and 1Mb L2 cache
The question is what CPU can be used as a possible substitute for a performance gain over the T4200?
The following appear to be very similar to the T4200 but run at a higher spec clock speed. Would any of these be viable and of course would it even be worth doing on such an older machine now? Would the BIOS support a higher clocked speed CPU?
T4300 (2.1GHz), T4400 (2.2Ghz) , T4500 (2.3Ghz), - All run 800Mhz bus speed and 1Mb L2 cache
Any other ideas on any other CPU's not mentioned that could also work with the above specified motherboard would also be appreciated.

Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
Yes there is a point in going slower as long as your pc supports dual channel.
You currently have 800MHz if you hace dual channel the memory will clock down to 533Mhz and then multiplied twice which is 1066Mhz
It is a setting which allocates memory to your cpu (Long story)
and as I can see, your PCH supports 1066Mhz which will make it intresting.

Hello CQ60-216TX ,
Welcome at the HP forums
After searching in http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf with your information.
I think it will support up to the P8600 2.4-GHz processor. However that one as the 1066FSB which means that if you upgrade to it it will be slowed down by the memory.
For as far as i know now I should go for the ■ T5900 2.2-GHz processor on page 8
This becouse it won't have problems with the memory or you need 1066Mhz memory which is possible in ddr2 and 3 so we need to know your memory options in your laptop (I guess ddr2)
My questions:
If my above options are right you should have the NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE with
256 MB of dedicated video memory since that is the only one with nvidia in this document with an intel CPU marked with an X.
Can I have your PCH number?
The question is: What do you want to do with this laptop since a 256MB videocard combined with your current cpu and even new cpu isn't very fast anymore. Do you want to put all the effort in it?
If you are running linux I would say yes but if you are running Windows I don't know if you should put your time in it.

Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
thanks for your response.
Ok to answer your hardware and usage question:
NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE with Intel PM45 chipset (AC82PM45) is correct. running DDR2 2 x 2Gb PC800 Ram
Op sys is Win Vista.
It has become a main use all rounder (replaced the desktop) take everywhere pc and a do everything from web use with multiple pages open, (and background programs paused or stopped due to its imitation), to often running Microsoft Flight Sim which likes a higher clock speed CPU and is struggling at times to run at decent frame rates. Loading programs and files faster would also help. Havent really tried other CPU and graphics intensive gaming on it. Cooling pad is used to stop it frying.
Agreed the GPU is liimited anyway - but it's still being used to play back video on hdmi 1080p or VGA 1920x1080 res. Again struggles at times when streaming vids to provide smooth flowing images.
So ok - We are limited to DDR2 PC800 ram. (I am not aware of any DDR2 running at 1066Mhz. If it was available I may then also consider CPU's running that speed).... Therefore:
if it will support the T5900 2.2Ghz at 800Mhz FSB with 2mb L2 cache, Im thinking it will prob support the highest spec up (which was probably not available at the time the manual was written - same as there is no mention of the T4200)...
This would be the T9XX series up to the T9500 at 2.6Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 6mb L2 cache.
The T9550 / T9600 run a FSB of 1066Mhz).
The thing of concern is whether the bios needs updating as it is currently set to run the Dual core T4200 and these others we're talking about T5900 / T9500 are a slighty different class of cpu (core 2 duo).
Lastly of course if a cpu replacement like this to suit is going to cost more than the thing is worth - then it may just be a case of putting up with its limitations and eventually replacing it with a new machine.
Thanks again.
Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
Thinking a bit more about this:
If that chipset supports a T9600 at 2.8Ghz with 1066fsb and 6mb L2 cache (or a T9550 at 2.66Ghz) there's prob no reason not to use that one. It just means (if it works) it should only run at the 800Mhz fsb of the DDR2 since the mobo cannot accept DDR3 ram.
If thats the case and it works on a T9600 then why would it not work with a T9900 (3.067Ghz) probably the highest clocked up cpu that can be installed given the limitations of the mobo.
Any further ideas or comments are welcome
Thanks again

If the bios need updating there are hacked bioses possible,
but please know that this is on your own risk.
With the DDR2 at 1066 I mean at dual channel. 2x533
But your PCH has to support it.
But can I now your chipset (PCH)?
A T9900 huh, My advise. Don't put any money in your laptop unless you do it for study/hobby
Then you need also a better cooling I think.
If you compare that T9900 with my backup laptop his cpu you have a nice laptop!

Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
Yes I saw the comparison link to the i5 yesterday.. if this works it should become a more useful laptop - as for heat - it is still a 35W cpu with a 45nm Lithography so unless it's clocking at max speed continuously, heat should not become a major issue esp with a fan cooling pad on heavy processing use.
The current RAM as I mentioned is 2 x Gb at 800Mhz. No point going slower to 533Mhz.
When you say PCH do you mean Platform controller hub?
South and North Bridge chip Intel AC82PM45 SLB97
South Bridge Intel AF82801IBM
I had a look at the BIOS and it says it is a BIOS version F. 36
Any idea if a BIOS upgrade is needed and where to source it (and instructions to re prog) would help.
I have done BIOS upgrades before on old systems using flash utility tools and understand the risk (which should be less for a laptop also having a battery power source).

Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
Interesting. So youre saying that even if the board only physically accepts up to 2x2Gb 800Mhz DDR2 RAM, if a CPU (like the T9900) is rated at 3.06Ghz but dependent on a 1066Mhz FSB to achieve this, there may be a possiblity that the system may clock down to dual chan 533MHz and actually run that processor at its rated FSB and therefore internal 3.06Ghz clock speed...?
So how can I verify if this may be the case?
Also notice the T9900 has a x11.5 multiplier.
And therefore achieves its internal clock speed as follows: 1066Mhz FSB / 4 x 11.5 = 3.06Ghz
The T9500 has a x13 multiplier
And achieves its internal clock speed as follows: 800Mhz FSB /4 x 13 = 2.6Ghz
(note: this now opens up possibilites for overclocking the T9500 by upping the FSB with a hacked bios..... but prob not a good idea due to cooling issues in latops)...
So if the T9900 will run at its rated 1066 mhz FSB on this mobo it should achieve its rated internal clock speed. If however it is limited to only run at 800Mhz FSB it will only be able to achieve an internal clock speed as follows:
800Mhz FSB / 4 x 11.5 = 2.30Ghz.
Not a good option when a cheaper and slower rated CPU will also perform at this speed.
Therefore if the board cannot physically run 1066 Mhz (dual chan x 533Mhz) on the DDR2 RAM, then we are limited to using the T9500 which with its higher mulitplier should perform faster than the T9900 (at 800Mhz FSB).
The question now remains how to verify all this and choose the appropriate CPU to use before purchasing as these things can cost around $100 ea to buy (eBay).
I noted also in some of my reading somewhere that the Processors named "Dual Core and the Celeron variants" are in fact the same as underperforming "Core 2 Duo" and multiplier factory locked and branded as such.
They are apparently not a different 'type' of CPU.

Also to note:
Courtesy of CPU-Z
The current 800Mhz RAM is actually dual channel at 400Mhz, so you are not going slower by attempting to run at 533Mhz.
You are actually asking it to run faster.... 533 x 2 (1066Mhz) which it may or may not do?? Most likely from a mobo physical issue trying to get DDR2 Ram to do it or not wired up to support that or the DDR2 RAM itself may not clock up. I dont have any experience with this to know if it would work.
As an exercise I used SETFSB to see if I can clock up the FSB on the current T4200 at all and it seems to fail everytime even on a small increase. I used the closest clock gen option I could find (ICS 9LPRS355BGLF) to mine which is ICS 9LPRS355BKL.
Also - the computer was lagging in loading the page when I was typing previously and I accidently clicked the "solved" button.... which we havent quite done yet.
I've navigated around here to try and remove the 'SOLVED' status and can't see how to do this.
Re: Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX CPU upgrade
About your solved. Once you say that it is solved then I have to beleve you. Not just by a solved mark
I think you should go to the biosmod forum to ask if it supports the t95XX or t99XX
They are far more experienced than me.
My question. Do you really want to invest 100$ for a "may possible"
or do you want to save it for your next notebook?
Considered to the speed you get is nice. considered to the graphic performance you get... I don't know I shouldn't do it.

5 Amazing Pieces of Good News Nobody Is Reporting
If you share some uplifting link with somebody on Facebook -- some video of an act of human kindness captured on camera, or this dolphin masturbating with the aid of its little fish friend -- the response is usually the same. "Nice to see there are still heartwarming stories in this awful world!"
In other words, any positive news or trend is treated as the exception, when the overall arc of civilization is clearly downward. The only problem is that it is absolutely not true, and it's actually very easy to prove, as we have made it our mission to point out.
So you can sit around and worry about debt ceilings and terror attacks, but take a moment to appreciate that you happen to be alive during the goddamned golden age of human civilization. Just think about the fact that ...
#5. We're Closing in on World Peace (Seriously)
Brand X Pictures/Stockbyte/Getty Images
This one seems laughable -- mankind has gone from fighting with swords, to muskets, to machine guns -- right up to the modern era of poison gas and nukes that can murder every human on the planet in minutes. Mankind's technological growth has been marked mainly by increasingly efficient ways to slaughter each other.
Sure enough, the 20th century had to have been the most violent in human history. Two world wars, conflict in Southeast Asia, constant war in the Middle East -- and those were just the ones that America was directly involved in. At the beginning of the 21st century, with Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and rumblings of war with Syria, it seems like the world is a pack of rabid dogs about to pounce on a Snausage pinata.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Awww. That's just his way of saying he wants to love you right in half.
The Good News:
Even with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the first decade of the 21st century saw the number of annual battle deaths at its lowest ever in history.
Professor Joshua Goldstein put it best: "If the world feels like a more violent place than it actually is, that's because there's more information about wars -- not more wars themselves." Overall, we're in the midst of an unheard of "long peace," as no major powers have clashed since World War II, replacing them with smaller wars that historically would count as skirmishes -- the U.S. lost 3,400 soldiers in Afghanistan, which is terrible, but during the American Civil War, 4,700 troops were killed on one side of one single battle. Here it is in graph form:
Via Wsj.com
Sans screaming.
OK, so maybe this is just a temporary breather after the bloodbath that was the previous century? Nope -- it's part of a long-term trend. As crazy as it seems to suggest it, the past couple of hundred years have been the most peaceful in world history. That's including the world wars.
(The numbers don't lie: Property crime, theft, and burglary have also all been dropping since around 1993. The De-Textbook has more on why you'd be just as safe leaving your doors unlocked now as your grandparents were in "the good old days.")
Yes, in absolute numbers, more people died violently in the 20th century than in any other century -- but that's because there are so many more people now. The chances that a person living in the 20th century would die violently were about 3 percent. That's a historically low number -- it was five times higher in prehistoric societies. In tribal societies, war was a daily occurrence -- just the process of everyone settling down into large-scale governments, even violent ones, was an improvement. If our hunter-gatherer ancestors could see us now, they'd be confounded by the complete lack of annual head smashing and face stabbing (if you ever unfreeze a caveman, show him our violent video games -- he'll go nuts for that shit).
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Especially when you show him how to teabag.
And it's not just war, it's all violent deaths -- in 14th century England, some cities had a homicide rate as high as 110 per 100,000 citizens. London's homicide rate in 2012 was just under 1 per 100,000. And we've previously talked about how violent crime is dropping to historic lows, even in the gun-crazy USA. No matter how you break it down, violence is slowly going out of style.
#4. Teen Are Less Likely to Smoke, Drink, or Do Drugs Than Ever
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
It feels like we've been steadily losing the drug war since the day drugs were invented. All we have to show for it are a pile of laughably ineffective prevention programs like D.A.R.E. and a grossly misguided attempt to imprison everyone who has ever sold or ingested narcotics. When will we ever learn that if the kids want to smoke the methamphetamine, they're going to do it?*
*Neither Cracked.com nor its parent company endorses the smoking of methamphetamine by children.
OK, smartass. Let's just cover all the bases and say to not do it at all, regardless of method.
The Good News:
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has been surveying tens of thousands of high schoolers for almost four decades, and not only is drug use down, but almost every form of substance abuse is down.
The big exception is marijuana; otherwise usage of illicit drugs by high school students has been steadily falling for seven years. And weed's growing popularity is hardly surprising, as the drug inches closer and closer to legality and is generally viewed as not a big deal by pretty much everyone under the age of 65 without a law enforcement mustache. It's a far cry from the bath-salts-induced zombie apocalypse that the media would have us believe is around the corner.
"Hey, bro ... you holdin'?"
And not only are the kids not injecting hardcore narcotics any more, they're also consuming alcohol at record lows, as binge drinking continued its five-year decline right into 2012. Or maybe we just can't tell, because those shiftless teenagers are just butt-chugging their booze. But probably not.
Oh, and as of 2012, teen smoking was at its lowest rate in history.
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
Probably because of the spontaneous parka growth that smoking causes.
Holy shit, it couldn't be that all of those shrill PSAs and after-school specials actually worked, could it? Actually, it just appears that, for today's kids, their anti-drug is weed.
#3. We're Getting More Tolerant
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
Yes, America is a country in which half a dozen states still celebrate Confederate History Month, dedicated to the memory of a government founded on the principle that God ordained one race of people to enslave another race of people. And yes, every few months a racially charged story will dominate headlines (see: Trayvon Martin), so maybe it's not too surprising that nearly half the country believes race relations are getting worse. Hell, just read the YouTube comments under any video that has a black person in it. Or even better, don't.
Via YouTube
Best feature they ever came up with.
The Good News:
If compared to an ideal world free of prejudice, the current state of things is a shameful walrus orgy of a disaster. If compared to the actual world at any point in the past, things look pretty fucking good.
For example, in 2013, 87 percent of Americans surveyed approved of interracial marriage. Just 50 years ago, over 90 percent of Americans disapproved. And while only 8 percent of U.S. marriages are between members of different races, that happens to be an all-time high. And, despite its reputation as a bastion of backward rednecks, Americans are more likely to accept neighbors of different races than are the citizens of most other countries.
Thinkstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images
We're looking at you, Germany.
"Well that's great, but what about gay marriage? That's still illegal in most of the country." That's true, and opinion polls are split right at 50-50, depending on whose polling you trust. But while half the country opposing a person's right to contractually chain him- or herself to another seems like bad news, you again have to see how far we've come -- that 50 percent approval is up by over 20 percent from the mid-1990s alone. That's a huge turnaround just since the Clinton years.
This is evidently all because of the kids. Most measurable indicators suggest that the younger generations responsible for our future are increasingly tolerant and open-minded (perhaps it's all the weed?). Maybe people can change. Or, more likely, old bigots aren't immortal and are replaced with more tolerant infants every day. Either way, the arrow is pointing up.

It doesn't matter if it's in the will: "Carry on my legacy of hate" isn't an enforceable request.

WEIRTON - It's going to be a brighter and more active Christmas in Weirton this year.
With two weeks before the start of the Christmas season in the community, a variety of activities are being added to the festivities surrounding the Weirton Christmas Parade on Nov. 24.
The parade itself, organized by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce and titled "A Brighter Christmas," will begin at 6 p.m. on Main Street with participants traveling between Virginia Avenue and Marland Heights Road.
It is sponsored by First Choice America Community Federal Credit Union, Weirton Medical Center, Tri-State Audiology and West Virginia Northern Community College.
The parade will be followed with a fireworks display, made possible by Hancock County Savings Bank, Cattrell Companies, MedExpress and Marsh Pipe and Supply, with the fireworks being set off behind Municipal Plaza.
But that's not all to be taking place downtown that day. A variety of activities is being planned to complement the parade.
Fact Box
The Weirton Christmas Parade will begin at 6 p.m. Nov. 24. Parking will be restricted on Main Street beginning at noon, and no traffic will be permitted on Main Street between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The Weirton Area Museum will present the Christmas Snow Village model train exhibit 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Pictures with Santa Claus will be available at the Millsop Community Center 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Other events include a craft show and the annual Christmas Tree Display Contest at the community center, and a charity collection in the parking lot of Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home
"We're encouraging people to come into town early," Chamber President Brenda Mull said.
Many of the events will begin at 2 p.m., with area businesses and organizations involved.
The Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center, for example, will feature the return of the Christmas Snow Village model train exhibit, which will be on display at the museum, 3149 Main St., from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
A collection to help the less fortunate is in the works through the efforts of Wine and Beverage Merchants and Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home. A truck will be in the funeral home parking lot during the day to collect a variety of materials.
Socks and gloves will be collected for the Weirton Christian Center, toys will go to the Weirton Salvation Army and food will be for the Community Bread Basket.
Between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., the Weirton United Way will provide an opportunity for kids to get their pictures taken with Santa Claus inside the Weirton Room and the Millsop Community Center. There will be a charge of $5 per picture.
Also at the community center, will be the annual Christmas Tree Display Contest where, for a $1 donation, residents will be able to pick their favorite tree decorated by area businesses and organizations.
The Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau also has gotten into the act, and is planning a craft show at the community center, with up to 12 area vendors set to show off their crafts and other products.
Mull said many of the businesses downtown will be open throughout the day, and encourages residents and visitors alike to take time to stop in and see what many of them have to offer while they are waiting for the parade to start.
"Saturday is Small Business Saturday," Mull said. "Stop in and see what our local businesses have to offer."
As organizers anticipate a large crowd to come out to see the festivities, those coming downtown are encouraged to arrive early and make use of the off-street parking areas available, which will include the Weirton Event Center.
Parking on Main Street will be restricted beginning at noon, and no traffic will be permitted on Main Street between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. that day.

Improve operations by avoiding buildup of sensible duty or by using baffles
[heat transfer]
[heat recovery]
Hydroprocessing units such as hydrotreaters and
hydrocrackers, and other units such as vacuum distillation towers, visbreakers,
fluid catalytic crackers, etc., involve considerable heat
consumption and subsequent heat recovery. Heat recovery is
mainly achieved with reactor effluents, fractionator
pumparounds or overhead condensing vapors, depending on a
plants process flowsheet. Invariably, this heat is used
to preheat feed or generate steam. Some recoveries take place
in a kettle-type heat exchanger.
Kettle exchangers are mainly used for boiling in the shell
sidee.g., steam generation. Normally, cold liquid
entering the exchanger is close to its boiling point with
respect to the given fluid pressure. The hot fluid flowing in
the tube side may be two-phase overhead condensing vapor,
reactor effluent, single-phase fractionator bottoms or bottoms
from the fractionator pumparound.
For medium-pressure (MP) steam generation, boiler feedwater
(BFW) from the deaerator is preheated by heat from available
intermediate or final product streams. Preheated BFW close to
its boiling point enters the kettle where MP steam is
However, in some revamp cases, BFW available at the site is
directly allocated in the kettle for MP steam generation. In
such cases, the kettle is expected to handle a sensible heat
load that is more than 10% to 15% of the total heat duty. This
situation leads to an uneconomical design, resulting in
ineffective heat transfer and fouling. To understand this
phenomenon, it is helpful to have an understanding of boiling
Kettles are unbaffled heat exchangers. The tubes are
supported by full baffles. The tube bundle is submerged below a
pool of liquid, and nucleate boiling phenomena normally occur.
In a kettle, liquid generally enters through the bottom of the
shell. Heat is transferred in nucleate boiling through the
combined effect of liquid-free convection and additional
convection produced by the rising stream of bubbles.
Liquid-free convection occurs due to the density difference in
the liquid pool.
In MP steam generation, BFW entering at its boiling point is
further heated by coming into contact with the hot tube
surface, and becomes lighter. The lighter water stream rises
across the bundle between the tube pitch. With greater heat
intake, bubbles are generated on nucleation sites on the tube
surface. These bubbles enlarge and then disengage and rise
above the liquid. Hence, across the tube bundle, the warm water
gradually rises up along with the bubbles. Meanwhile, around
the periphery of the tube bundle, dense, cooler water settles
below. The rising bubbles and the density difference help
circulate the pool. The circulation across the bundle in a
kettle is shown in Fig. 1.1
Fig. 1. Liquid
circulation in the pool.
If the BFW entering the pool is too far below its boiling
point, a sensible heat duty is needed to attain the boiling
point. Thus, the sensible heat duty requirement affects the
boiling process adversely.
This adverse effect can be visualized by imagining a pot of
water heated over an open fire. If a glass top is placed over
the opening of the pot, the boiling process can be easily
observed. As the inner heating surface becomes hot, tiny
bubbles gradually form and stick to the inner surface of the
container. As heating progresses, the bubbles grow and detach
from the inner surface, and then rise to the surface of the
liquid. At this point, even if a small amount of cooler water
is added to the pot, the active boiling process is temporarily
suppressed. Similarly, the boiling process in the kettle is
affected when BFW enters the pool at a lower temperature than
its boiling point.
In the shell side, the sensible duty required to heat the
liquid to its boiling point is enhanced by guiding the liquid
through baffles, enabling a velocity increase and a longer
contact time. However, these results are not possible in the
kettle, since it is unbaffled.
Keeping this in mind, the boiling heat transfer coefficient
correlation considers a correction factor that is related to
the ratio of sensible duty and total duty. The presence of
sensible duty is essentially penalized. Thus, the smaller the
sensible duty, the better the overall heat transfer rate of the
If a considerable amount of sensible duty is unavoidable,
then an effective option is to add a tiny baffled exchanger at
the kettle entry nozzle, as shown in Fig. 2. At first, BFW is
heated in this baffled shell-side exchanger by the leftover
duty of the hot fluid exiting the kettle. This tiny baffled
exchanger acts as a relatively cold shell for the kettle.
Fig. 2. Schematic of
option for handling
sensible duty.
Sometimes, hot fluids may have a higher degree of superheat
in the condenser. In such cases, the small exchanger could be
placed above the kettle. The BFW will heat up in the shell side
of the tiny baffled exchanger due to superheated vapor in the
tube side.
After preheating BFW in the baffled exchanger, hot fluid
from the tube side enters the kettle to generate steam. Here,
the tiny baffled exchanger becomes the hot shell. During design
optimization, it can be further assessed whether this small
baffled exchanger at the entry of the kettle is placed as a hot
shell above the kettle or a cold shell below the kettle.
The accumulation of a large amount of the sensible duty of
the cold fluid should be avoided in a kettle exchanger. If
accumulation is unavoidable, then the sensible duty is
preferably recovered in a baffled heat exchanger.

I found a problem in factory if hot fluid coming at the top of kettle such as tube leak. I think this is probably because of low vapor pressure at the top of tube causing tube vibration and then, leakage. Therefore, I would like to change the direction of hot fluid to be coming at the bottom instead. Could you recommend us this is a good way or not?

Andrew has long known that magic is a brutal game requiring blood sacrifice and a willingness to confront death, but years of peace and comfort have left him more concerned with maintaining false youth than with seeing to his own defense. Now a monster straight from the pages of Russian folklore is coming for him, and frost and death are coming with her.

Sorcery in the Internet Age
He often muses that if he were to walk into a room full of those who actually run the world, the invisibles that heads of state and oil barons take their marching orders from, it would look like the audition room for a TV soap opera; they would all be lovely; they would all look twenty-five to forty, and whether this were accomplished by the witchcraft of science or the science of witchcraft would be even money.
-The Necromancer's House
I have a magic wand sitting on the table next to me as I write this. You could also call it a smart phone. Whatever the nomenclature, I can use it to talk on video to my friend in England. I can ask it to locate the closest Indian restaurant and to survey that restaurant's popularity with recent diners. I can conjure moving images of clouds to find out where the rain is and how long until it hits. I can show you a video of a guy in a squirrel suit jumping off a cliff and flying. Flying.
I'm pretty sure the squirrel guy isn't a wizard and, if I am, I'm not telling. But imagine if we were. What would happen if the world of technological miracles we take more and more for granted could be made to interface with witchcraft?
When I started writing my third novel, The Necromancer's House,
I challenged myself to invent a community of modern sorcerers who not only used ancient magic but found ways to splice that magic with technology, amplifying it. I imagined warlocks using the Internet to connect and barter with each other, to cast spells at distance, and sometimes to do violence. In The Necromancer's House, a Hand of Glory transmits its energy through video to open a locked window across town; an assassin in New Orleans uses hacked military satellites to locate a woman in the Ukraine, whose throat he then cuts with an enchanted blade; a sorcerous spammer in Kiev engages a witch in Chicago in a brutal fight to the death using horse-headed GIF monsters that crawl through the screen.
The Necromancer's House is a bit of a genre-bender, more horror than urban fantasy; the antagonist is Baba Yaga, an exotic creature for those of us who grew up in the shadow of Disneyworld, but as familiar as the devil to children of Slavic households; it is Baba Yaga, not the bogeyman, who deals with naughty Russian and Ukrainian kids, capturing too-adventurous boys and enslaving credulous girls. She appears variously as a crone moving through the forest in an iron pot, sweeping her tracks away with a birch-broom; as a fearsome general at the head of an army of dolls; and as an ogress crammed into a teetering hut that moves on hen's feet. Her myth has deep roots indeed. My research suggested that her famous chicken-foot home, surrounded by its round, skull-topped fence, may have origins in the iron-age cremation huts of the Slavs. Thence, perhaps, comes the witch that captured Hansel and Gretel, and thence her oven.
Animating this ancient crone and arming her for twenty-first century mischief was the central challenge of the novel, a challenge I relished. The world of The Necromancer's House, with its blend of old and new perils, is the first world I have created that doesn't feel finite; I suspect the warlocks of Dog Neck Harbor and beyond will find their way into further novels, and I'm curious to see what adventures they'll get up to.
In the meantime, I wait with anticipation and dread to see what science will conjure next. The three-D printer can manufacture everything from a kidney to a firearm, and, just last month, a man used the power of thought to move a second man's finger. Not so long ago, possession and teleportation were the exclusive properties of fiction. Technology is sprinting. As a novelist, I see and gladly accept my mission, daunting though it is—whether I raid the vaults of myth or summon wholly new creations, I will strive to supply the evocative what a half-step ahead of science and its implacable how.
Christopher Buehlman is a writer and comedian. His first book, Those Across the River, was a World Fantasy Award finalist for best novel in 2012. The Necromancer's House is his third release from Penguin's Ace division.

Top Hot Spots for Germs
7 of 11
Wall-to-Wall Carpets
Wall-to-wall carpets can trap tons of germs and allergens, and are often hard to clean. Pet dander, germs from dirty shoes, and mold all live deep inside the fibrous material. If you do have wall-to-wall carpeting in your house, the best way to clean it is to use a vacuum with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter. This prevents contaminates from recirculating.
Another alternative is to forgo wall-to-wall carpeting altogether and stick with area rugs. You can machine-wash area rugs using regular detergent, making it easier to keep germs that cause illnesses and diseases out of your home.

I recently bought STALKER Call of Pripyat, but I can't play long enough before I get really dizzy when you run.
Is there a mod or a fix where I can run without my screen leaning (or shaking left and right) as I get really dizzy.
It's a good game (kind of like fallout 3) but this run thing is making me have second thoughts about my purchase.

I've heard it's 33% during the Qing dinasty. 4% during cultural revolution. Now it's climbing up steadily to 11%.
Where can I see the table of those actually tracking those numbers?

I've heard it's 33% during the Qing dinasty. 4% during cultural revolution. Now it's climbing up steadily to 11%.
Where can I see the table of those actually tracking those numbers?
What were the causes?
There is an overview in an article on China Whisper.com: China`s historical GDP share in the world
Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD)
Tang Dynasty 618 – 907 AD GDP per capita:$480, 58% of world GDP
Song Dynasty 960-1279 AD GDP per capita:US$2,280, 80% of the world's GDP
Yuan Dynasty 1271-1368 A estimated to account for about 30% -35% GDP
Ming Dynasty 1368–1644 AD GDP per capita:US$600, 55% of world GDP
Qing Dynasty 1644-1922 AD GDP per capita:US$600 Qing Dynasty accounted for 35% -10% of the World GDP
People's Republic of China 1949- GDP per capita:US$5414, 9.48 percent of the world economy. See also Wikipedia for this period.
There is also another article at Wikipedia: Economic history of China before 1912
Maybe you can find hint to other sources there.
Well, at least the drop during the "Cultural Revolution" is easily explained. Setting hordes of young, largely semi-literate, thugs to torture and maim the productive and educated members of society will do wonders for the economy. Here is a long quote from wikipedia:
What is China has changed over time, as have the number of people in China, as has China's level of per capita output (GDP prior to capitalism is an anachronistic imposition if measured in a current value expression), as has the number of people not-in-China, as have the level of per capita output in places not-China.
The assumption that China's proportion of world output would remain static is a less tenable hypothesis than that all proportions of long lasting cultural nexuses of output would vary.
What you're really asking is "Was Needham right?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Needham#The_Needham_Question
And there's a great deal of literature about prefigurative forms of capitalism in China out there. I'd suggest you start by reading the review articles on the Needham Question, because scholarly discontent with the failure of China, a large high productivity advanced feudal society*1 to cement the prefigurative forms of capitalism into actual capitalism continues.
*1 Marxist use in relation to circulation of prestige, status, and direct extraction techniques; not a claim of infeudation.

Biological Control of Pests Research Unit
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
The proposed research is to aggressively deploy and integrate multiple management techniques and monitor the transition of the floral communities at the test sites. Preliminary data collected over two years at Eden and Mound Bayou, MS, has supported the hypothesis that late-season mowing and selective herbicides with good translocation and soil uptake can provide a high level of kudzu control. It is proposed that these approaches integrated and extended by subsequent spot-treatments of kudzu escapes/survivors with the bioherbicide M. verrucaria and introduce competing vegetation to suppress the kudzu while concomitantly providing erosion control and preventing the introduction of additional invasive species, such as cogongrass.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
We propose to evaluate an intense, rapid, integrated kudzu eradication program at 4 locations in Mississippi. Through application of herbicidal and suppressive approaches it may be possible to reduce the time needed to achieve eradication. Use of herbicides with high selectivity and a biological control agent will allow for simultaneous re-establishment of desirable vegetation, thus providing more long-lasting kudzu exclusion.

In the pattern
~よう ~まい, I've found from several sources that you can use
が and
と (i.e
~ようが ~まいが), and using one over the other doesn't change the meaning or have a particular nuance. What's confusing me is that I've found one instance of this pattern using
か, and I can't find if there is anything in particular that distinguishes it from the
が / と version or not, or if it's a typo, or what. Can anyone shed some light on this?

In the pattern
…ようか…まいか and …ようが…まいが have different meanings. The fact that they have the same English translation "whether … or not" is a coincidence.
The English expression "whether … or not" has two different usages: (1) as a noun clause, and (2) as an adverbial clause. For example:
(1) I wonder whether I will write to her or not.
…ようか…まいか means (1), whereas …ようが…まいが means (2). Therefore, possible translations of the two sentences above are:
(1) 彼女に手紙を書こうか書くまいか迷う。
(But I think that in (1), …ようか…まいか puts a heavy emphasis on the "whether … or not" part. A usual way to say (1) without this emphasis is 彼女に手紙を書くかどうか迷う.)

10 mbps=slow for a class 10...ill pass
I dony know if 10mbs is slow but when a company does only a
" Limited Warranty: 12 months parts; 12 months labor "
on their products, its too short,
it should be limited lifetime like Transcend cards are.
But is it waterproof/shockproof?!
@justinrageth: Thanks for that. I saw Class 10 and almost pulled the trigger and didn't pay attention to the write speed. I don't wouldn't have the same confidence in these when recording 1080p in my DSLR as I do with my 45 MB/s cards.
These are probably fine for point-n-shoots, but who needs 32 gigs for point-n-shoots?
@justinrageth: That's the definition of a Class 10 card that it has a minimum write speed 10 MB/sec. You can't fault the speed for what it is rated for. Class 10 is for full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording. This is a good price for this size/class card, especially considering it has Sony's name on it which means it's probably made by a decent manufacturer for them since they have a reputation to withhold.
The Amazon deal on the Transcend cards is gone, but Buy still has this one running...

The movie itself was old. It was about human greed, exploitation and capacity.
In the feudal societies of Europe, some landholders had a gambling program. The deal was: a chosen worker was allowed to mark land, as much as he can, from sunrise to sunset, and he would be the owner (I don't remember if there was competition among workers or not, but it makes sense that the winner be the one who has marked more than others).
No worker ever becomes landholder! They ran so hard to mark more lands that by the sunset they died. In fact the landholders were aware of choosing with whom they made the deal. I remember a scene in which they were eating and laughing at a table and watching the greedy workers who were running to mark more lands.

No points at this time.
The fifth time turned out to be the charm for St. Croix Valley Raceway. After wet and cold weather postponed the racing season opener for over a month, action finally commenced at SCVR with the running of the second annual Davey Tabor Memorial. Scotty Thiel nabbed top honors in the tribute race, with Damon Roberts, Jason Havel, Ty Sampeir, Justin Oestreich and Katrina Sautbine also garnering wins.
Picking up where he left off in 2012, Jason Havel made quick work of the Pure Stock field. After being charged with an opening lap caution, Havel needed only three laps to catch and pass early leader Tony DuBois for the lead. Once in front, Havel cruised to the opening night win in front of DuBois, Jake Silbernagel, Krysta Swearingen and Jon Wigchers. And just like last year, Havel shunned Victory Lane to celebrate the win with his fans in the stands.
Continuing with the 2012 theme, last year's Future Four opening night winner repeated the feat on Friday night. Damon Roberts used his front row starting spot to grab the early lead in the four cylinder feature. It was no cake walk, however, as Roberts felt constant pressure from the #63 of Dan Rick. Rick managed to sneak by Robert for a lap at the race's midpoint, but Roberts charged right back on the next circuit. At the final checkers it was Roberts with the win, Rick in second – despite intermittent puffs of smoke from his car – followed by Dan Strobach, Nicki Dubois and Dylan Roberts.
Ty Sampeir ruled the roost for the UMSS Micro sprint main event. Sampeir started on the pole and stretched his lead on each of the feature's twelve laps, eventually finishing a half lap in front of Collin Olson, Allison Berger, Sandy Traaseth and Doug Kensy.
An extremely strong field of 27 Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series (UMSS) winged sprints wereon hand as Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan, Wisconsin battled race leader Jason Tostenson for a good share of the 20 lap Davey Tabor Memorial feature race. It wasn't until lap 18 that Thiel was able to make the winning pass in turn one to take home top honors at the 2nd annual event. The win paid Thiel $1,034, as many of the top ten finishing positions pay ended with the number "34" in honor and memory of the Tabor Motorsports entry. The Tabor family along with GRP Motorsports added extra money to the purse making the total feature race payout $6,634. It was Thiel's fifth career UMSS feature win.
Heat race winners included 2009 UMSS Champion Leigh Thomas, Thiel, and Tony Norem. Jennifer Eriksen was taken to the hospital for observation following a hard crash into the turn one large tractor tires protecting the beginning of the concrete wall at the opening to the pit exit. Challenge Race wins went to brothers-in-law Jerry Richert Jr. and Brooke Tatnell.
Following the two rounds of qualifiers, Tatnell was the high point driver. Tatnell drew the number six pill, inverting the first three rows. This put Rick Kobs, in just his second season behind the wheel of a sprint car, and Jason Tostenson on the front row. A few moments after the parade laps had been completed; Kobs' car suddenly came to a halt on the back stretch and was pushed into the infield with possible ignition issues. Chris Graf moved up to the pole position, putting a couple of Glencoe, Minnesota drivers up front. Tostenson grabbed a slim advantage over Graf to lead the opening lap. Tatnell's night was done early, as the Nelson Motorsports entry slowed entering turn three and coasted off the track with just one lap completed. The field was slowed under caution.
On the restart, Tostenson maintained his lead over Graf. Thiel moved from third to second on lap 3. One lap later, Lee Grosz stalled in turn 4 after what appeared to be contact with Thiel in turn 2. Grosz was pushed to the infield and done for the night. Again Tostenson was able to maintain a slim lead when the race went green, as Thiel looked for a way to get past. The third caution waved with eight laps in when Davey Heskin spun in turn 4. Thiel tried on a couple of occasions to duck underneath Tostenson in turns 1-2 during the next several laps, but Tostenson held off each attempt. The final yellow blinked on with 16 laps scored when 2010 UMSS Champion Cody Hahn spun in turn 4. This set the stage for a four lap dash to the checkers.
Tostenson was under serious pressure from Thiel on the restart, and two laps later he succumbed to that pressure when Thiel dove low in turn one and Tostenson bobbled just slightly up top, allowing Thiel to slide up in front of him by a few car lengths. Thiel went on to record the victory, his second win at St. Croix Valley Raceway, having won at the 1/4 mile bullring last August. Tostenson, who was looking for his first-ever UMSS win, had to settle for second ahead of Graf, Kurt Davis from 10th, and Tony Norem from 12th. Rounding out the top ten finishers were 2011 & 2012 UMSS Champion Jerry Richert Jr., Cam Schafer, Neil Matuska racing for the first time with the UMSS, Jared Goerges, and Davey Heskin. Sixteen of the twenty starters were still racing at the conclusion of the event with all cars on the lead lap.
The penultimate race of the night saw Tony Schill shoot from the front row to lead the first eighteen laps of the WISSOTA Midwest Modified A-main. Schill fended off challenges from pole starter Mitch Weiss, Ryan Olson, and for most of the race, Justin Oestreich. But with less than three laps remaining, a slight hiccup from Schill gave enough room for Oestreich to blast by and grab the point. Oestreich remained out front the last two laps, leaving Schill to fend off challenges from Olson, Ryan Bowers and Josh Bazey, who comprised the top five finishers.
With the hour getting late, the skies finally delivered on their threat of rain as a light sprinkle began to fall at the start of the UMSS Traditional Sprint feature race. Katrina Sautbine led from the pole for laps one through three before yielding to Denny Stordahl. Stordahl held the point for three laps before Sautbine reclaimed the lead on lap seven. Behind the leaders, reigning series champion Rob Caho was searching for a line to the front along with inaugural champion Kevin Bradwell and Brad Nelson. A late caution reset the field with Sautbine leading Caho, Bradwell, Stordahl and Nelson. Upon the restart, Bradwell's #95 mount climbed Caho's rear tire, launching "The Rocketman" into a frightening series of cartwheel flips in front of the grandstand. While the car was heavily damaged, Bradwell emerged from his overturned car seemingly unhurt. With rain continuing to fall, officials declared the race complete after twelve laps resulting in Sautbine's first career feature win in a sprint car.
Sprints are back at the quarter-mile bullring this Friday, May 31, in the form of the IRA outlaw 410 sprint series. The IRA made their first ever appearance at The Valley in 2012 and promptly established a new track speed record. This year'srace is part of a three-race western Wisconsin swing for the series, and car counts are expected to be especially strong for this event. WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds will have the week off, and the IRA Sprints will be joined by SCVR regular classes: Future Fours, Pure Stocks and UMSS Traditional and Micro sprints.
