MINGO JUNCTION - Supporters of Wayne Elementary School will not go down without a fight.
Bloomingdale Mayor David Gaffney and resident Jeff Bonecutter attended Thursday's Indian Creek school board meeting to discuss the board's decision to close the building at the end of the current school year.
"As you may know, the people of Bloomingdale are very much opposed to closing Wayne Elementary," Gaffney began. "The superintendent and treasurer gave a great rundown of the budget at the last meeting. However, I read the audit from the state, like a lot of others, and the costs of closing Wayne just do not add up."
According the Gaffney, the audit included closing Bantam Ridge Elementary School, cutting seven bus routes and several other options as ways to save money.
"You moved students from Bantam Ridge Elementary School, but you kept the administration at the building," he said. "How is that saving any money? Also, the audit says to cut seven bus routes and we only closed two. The audit gives a whole list of other ideas how to save money for the district. In addition, we were told that closing Wayne would save the district $337,000, and the state says $237,000. We do not know what the busing will be like with closing Wayne, either."
Gaffney also mentioned that rumors have been flying throughout the village that indicate the Wayne Elementary building already had been sold.
Bonecutter said board members seemed to go along with whatever the superintendent and treasurer recommended.
"Something that bothered me was that the school board members pointed at (Superintendent John) Rocchi and the treasurer (Denise Todoroff), and basically said we have to agree with them," he stated. "But honestly, you need to put it together and make your own decision. This seems like Rocchi made the decision and you guys are just going along with it. If I was sitting in any position, I would want to close Wintersville Elementary first. It's in the worst condition and needs the most work. I think the school board isn't looking at the district as a whole. When Rocchi brought up about maintenance at Wayne, none of this is any worse than what we have at the Buchanan building. I think the school board needs to step back and review this whole situation before making a final move and shipping these kids out of Wayne."
Bonecutter told board members that many Wayne Elementary parents are saying their children are excelling at the school.
"We just had the annual science fair at Wayne, and there were so many parents talking about this issue," he said. "Some of their kids came from other buildings in the district as well as other school districts and they weren't doing very well. Now they are at Wayne and they are socializing with other students and getting a better education. When you close Wayne, you are going to destroy these kids. There is no way that they are going to do well at any other school. I can't emphasize heavy enough for the school board to review this whole picture and take it back to the drawing board, because I think it's going to hurt us more than fix us."
Gaffney also asked board members why they rushed their decision to close the school.
"There is no real rush to close Wayne," said board President Bob Smith. "But, at this point in time, we have to do something to not be in the red next year. Wayne is our best option. Getting the fifth-graders to the middle school as well as moving teachers takes time and effort, and we have to let them know the decision immediately."
Smith said the assertion by Gaffney and Bonecutter that the building had been sold was the first he had heard of it.
"We are not in negotiations with anyone regarding the sale, lease or rent of the building," he explained. "None of us up here have even heard that rumor until now.
"We want you to know that this wasn't a quick decision by the school board, it was a painstaking decision," he said. "I know it is difficult for you out in Bloomingdale, but it was just as difficult for us. I will definitely take your input and talk with the other board members. It never feels good to close a school, it rips the heart of the community and it really is the last thing we want to do."
Rocchi also noted that the board's decision to close the school was based on verified financial information.
"The board is using the financial information that myself and Denise provided members with and, currently, they are not changing their decision," Rocchi stated.
In other business, the board:
Heard from Rocchi, who announced that middle school teacher Michelle Minto has been commended by AEP for participating in the energy-efficient education program. She was one of 350 teachers to be awarded and was presented with $500 of supplies for her classroom. He also announced that Hills Elementary School has been named a school of promise by the state school board.
Accepted the amounts and rates of taxation as determined by the Jefferson County Budget Commission, authorized the necessary tax levies and certified them to the county auditor.
Approved the following individuals as teachers for after-school intervention to be held through April 18: Karen Lloyd, Robert Leonard, Diane Bovina, Mike Voltz, Alex DiPietro, Christine Peterson, Karen Edwards and Gabrielle Connors.
Approved the employment of Jamie Kropa as high school Spanish teacher, Lisa Ward as boys and girls varsity track assistant coach, JoLynn Smith as high school drama club assistant adviser and Trent Starkey as middle school track coach.
Approved the resignation of classroom aide Christina Bube and track coach Alan Stevens for personal reasons; and physical education teacher Bruce Barrett and intervention specialist teacher Phyllis Ferris for retirement purposes.
Approved the employment of Jake Geary and Mitch Hukill as volunteer varsity baseball coaches.
Approved the renewal of three-year contracts for Rocchi, Todoroff and middle school Principal John Belt. The board also approved the renewal of one-year contracts for Wintersville Elementary School Principal Nicole McDonald, high school Assistant Principal Dan Hartman, district Special Education and Preschool Coordinator Jamie Kovalski, middle school Principal (fifth- and sixth-grades) Toni Jean Dondzila and Transportation Supervisor Brenda Staffilino.
Adopted a resolution to not re-employ Brian McCamic as district network administrator when his contract expires June 30.
Announced that the annual scholar's banquet will be held at 1:30 p.m. May 5 at St. Florian Hall.

Forum Rules/Code of Conduct
It seems that there has been an increase in activities on the boards that go to forum rules... forum rules that were previously only known through common sense and message board experience. The moderators have decided to lay out the rules so there will be no question when they are broken.
If these look familiar, that's because they were blatantly ripped off from the GalacticBattles.com forums.
Thanks to the guys over there who provided the basic rules, and thanks to the others here who tailored them to fit our needs at JK.net.
1. You cannot, in any way, insult (or "flame") someone else on the board. People may not be insulted just because their opinion differs from your own. Flaming includes calling people names, insulting them in any way or saying offensive things to them.
2. Refrain from using excessive profanity in your posts. Basically, let the censor do its job. Don't attempt to undermine it.
3. Spamming is strictly prohibited. Your post needs to contribute to the discussion or the topic.
Spam Details
In any discussion board, the continuous posting of messages irrelevant to the topic or discussion is strictly prohibited.
You should not consistently be able to look up at your screen and see that the majority of topics or messages on a page were just created or posted by you.
To Discuss: To talk about a subject in detail.
To Chat: To talk in a light, familiar way. Informal talk. (ie one sentence posts such as, "I agree" etc.)
Chatting is considered spamming and will be dealt with accordingly in the Jedi Knight Series and other related boards, but will be tolerated in Yoda's Swamp. Please remember, however, that Yoda's Swamp is for off-topic discussion, not no-topic discussion. Threads that are blatantly spammy in nature or just pure spam will be locked
at the staff's discretion
End of Spam Details
4. The posting of links to sites that contain illegal material and the discussion of where to obtain illegal material (ie where to get illegal MP3s, warez, etc.) is prohibited. We reserve the right to edit/delete any thread/post that breaks this rule at our sole discretion.
5. The posting of obcene material is not allowed. (ie pornography, violent and disturbing images and/or writings.)
6. Avoid duplicating anybody's nickname, avatar, and/or sig images. Make or find your own. This also applies to people outside our community (ie names of people of another community). It is strictly prohibited to impersonate someone else.
7. Threads and posts must be placed in their apropriate forums. See
thread for more details, and be sure to check out the forum description before posting your message in it.
8. Before posting a new topic, do a search to see if there is already a recent thread pertaining to what yours is about. If there is already a post similar to yours, feel free to read it and post a reply which will bring it to the top. Note that sometimes the search function is disabled, so do your best without it.
9. Be specific in the naming of your topic. This will aid in topic searches and help prevent someone from posting something you already have.
10. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
11. You may not register another account under the same IP number. You must also use a valid email address when registering.
12. You may not re-register after receiving a ban.
13. You may not post threads dealing with the amount of posts, post status, or rank you or a fellow member has.
14. Do not hound current moderators or admins. This is namely referring to a past influx of unwanted moderator applications.
Penalties for registering another account under the same IP:
The person will be warned, and the extra account(s) will be immediately deleted. If the person recidivates, his/her IP will be banned from the community.
Penalties for spamming, cussing, and flaming:
First, the person will receive a public warning in the thread in which the offense occurred.
If the person does not comply, he/she will be given a final warning via private message.
If the person keeps flaming/cussing/spamming, he/she will be banned.
Spamming may also result in the reduction of the user's post count (to 0).
Penalties for stealing:
The "victim" (the person whose username/sig/avatar/etc. was stolen) will be contacted by the mods. This person will decide what penalty to enforce. The mods will then see if it's an adequate penalty.
Penalties concerning illegal activities:
If the person posted links to ROM sites and/or warez sites, the post will be edited and the person will be warned. If the person do it again, it's a temporary ban.
If it's about posting pornography, the user will be permanently banned without warning.
And the most important rule of all:
Don't be stupid
It's a good rule that covers a lot of ground.
These rules were originally drafted over at GalacticBattles.com. They have been modified mainly by OnlyOneCanoli. Minor rule adjustment/addition by matt-windu and the rest of the LucasForums/JK.net staff.

1972 Chevrolet C10 - Farm Truck DeluxeWritten by on May 13, 2011 Kevin Malone's '72 C10
For citizens living in other states when California is mentioned it's likely that the images conjured by their imagination include sunny beaches, big ugly cities, and a bunch of politics that just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Beyond the bright lights of Los Angeles, and its whacked-out reputation, however, lies a heartland that is as much a part of Americana as anywhere else in the nation. We're talking about the Central Valley, or in this particular instance the focus is on the city of Atwater. The local folks are an agrarian society, where owning a pickup truck is an essential part of everyday life.
The first time Kevin Malone saw his '72 C10 it was 1987, and he was helping his cousin stuff a good transmission into it so that they could drive it away from the weed patch next to Lima Dairy's barn. "After about six months it wasn't reliable enough for my cousin's daily commute so he convinced me to trade my reliable four-cylinder transportation car for it," Kevin says. Unlike a typical base-model farm truck the '72 was loaded with some desirable options including tilt power steering, power brakes, and a 350 V-8. "It took me a few months to figure out the electrical nightmares," Kevin says. "I got it fairly reliable and used it as a daily driver/fishing truck/dog hauler for a few years, and all was fine until I stumbled onto a better bed. It was a cherry Fleetside that had never been used. It was at a local irrigation pump contractor's yard; they bought a '72 Chevy brand new, pulled the bed off, installed a service body, and never used the short Fleetside box. They even kept it standing up so nothing got stored in it or collected water. I paid $150, and that started a snowball. The bed was just too nice for the rest of the truck."
"Over the next couple of years I spent nights and weekends doing a driveway rebuild because I didn't have a garage. It was my daily driver so anything I did to it I had to make sure it would get me to work the next day. I installed a Classic Performance Parts aluminum gas tank between the framerails. Next, I stripped the woodgrain off the tailgate and punched louvers into the bare aluminum trim. Before installing the taillights I stripped the buckets and painted them reflective silver, and polished all the trim at home using a buffing wheel on a bench grinder or an electric drill with a Mothers Powerball."
Once the rear half of the truck was how Kevin wanted it, he moved onto the cab--not the cab that came with the truck, but a better example. Utilizing a cab Kevin bought six years prior, along with his friend Joe Santo, they replaced the kick panels, rocker panels, filled the dash speaker hole, made patterns from a factory A/C cab, cut out all the holes for the GM A/C equipment in the cab, and fixed some cancer in the doors. Inside the cab Kevin completely disassembled and painted his original tilt-steering column and topped it with a '67 Chevelle SS steering wheel. The seat is a pair of '67-68 Chevy "buddy buckets" that were upholstered by Castillo's in Modesto. "I finished the interior with a new dashpad, door handles, and miscellaneous trim, but used the original door panels with the scrollwork and stainless trim along with the original sunvisors, which were still in great shape," Kevin says.
Before swapping the reworked cab onto the chassis Kevin thought it would be a good time to really tear into the '72's suspension. "I put the chassis back together using all-new suspension parts, brakes, shocks, bushings, and wheel bearings," he says. "My friend Tracey Ledford trimmed and boxed the lower front control arms to clear the 9.5-inch-wide American Torq-Thrusts 17-inch wheels shod with BFGoodrich tires. We used Early Classic Enterprises drop spindles, springs front and rear, track bar and sway bar mounts, and 2-inch lowering blocks from So-Low to set the truck's stance. Before the front clip went back on I installed all of the engine accessories including an Old Air Products A/C unit. The majority of the brackets and miscellaneous parts underhood including the inner fenders were powdercoated by Madera Powder Coating in Madera. Diaz Custom Paint in Merced did the truck's paint. While, it was in the paint shop I focused on the engine and transmission. The TH350 was rebuilt by Young's Transmissions in Merced with modifications for a firm shift and a 2,000-stall converter. I disassembled the GM crate motor I installed in 1992 and took it to Koehn's Machine Shop in Atwater. After a hone job, rings, bearings, a set of flat-top pistons, and a bigger cam, the bottom end was ready to go. The heads just needed resurfacing. I brought it all home and assembled it with help from Roger Romine using a new carburetor, intake, and headers. We ran it on an engine break-in stand that he and I built. This pickup is truly homebuilt thanks to some help from good friends and a lot of company from Butch Thompson, my retired neighbor. Finishing props go to Mickey Shaw at Shaw's Super Service in Livingston, and Campus Alignment in Merced. I owe a lot of thanks to my wife, Suzanne, and daughters Amanda, Morgan, and Bailey, for understanding my passion and never complaining about the hours I spent in the garage." The photos were taken just mere feet from where Kevin first saw the truck. CT

We have an outlet recessed in a wood floor over a concrete subfloor. I want to build in a seating bench over that area, and extend the outlet to surface mount in the bench face. However, the outlet screws are badly corroded and we can't remove the outlet from the junction box to wire in an extension. I would have to tear up the wood floor, and cut concrete to remove the receptacle. Is there some option for leaving the existing outlet in place, and plugging an extension into it, then running to a new surface-mounted outlet? Doesn't sound like something that would meet code, but I'm looking for any possible solution.
I would suggest trying harder to remove the screws before I started to rip up the floor; ripping up the floor to fix an electrical outlet/box just seems way to extreme.
If the screw head is stripped, use a specialty bit to remove stripped screws. If it's rusted, try to use some penetrating oil (turn off the power first!).
As a last resort against the screws, you can drill out the screws and use a new tapping bit to create new larger threads for new screws.
If all that fails, just bust up the outlet (again, power off!) so that you can remove it or at least get access to other parts of the box so you can cut/grind whatever you need to remove it.
You can't be code compliant with an extension cord. Using a cutting wheel on a Dremel tool, cut the slots deeper into the mounting screws (power off). Squirt with rust penetrant and then remove the screws. Then remove the receptacle. You'll have to install a cover with a knockout or a box on top of the old box. Then run conduit and wire from the knockout or new box to the new location.

Its 108 pages of about all things starting competition BBQ. It is an introduction to the world of Competition BBQ and some of the pitfalls to avoid. What they don't tell you is how funny this little book jam packed with valuable information is. I loved reading the stories from George's point of view. Don' t miss the psychological impacts of competition chicken overload. I have been there. I really related to these stories. Or even the sage advice offered on crotchel area issues on page 21.
This is not a serious book by any means. However there is some really serious decent advice and its an easy and fun read. If you are just beginning to contemplate starting a competition BBQ team you really should read this first.
You can buy a copy of the book here right on their site: www.watgbbq.com
Additionally you can always catch up with George and his teams adventures on the blog Who are those guys? Competition BBQ Team Blog.

Tonight's post is kind of two ideas in one. First, adding pumpkin to just about any kind of bread is a good idea. I peel and seed the pumpkin, chop it, and boil it in water for about 30 mins until it is soft. I then drain it and blend it in a food processor until very smooth. I have found that this puree can be subbed in for water in bread recipes, almost cup for cup. Start by simply replacing the water with the puree, then add in more as needed. It gives the bread a wonderful light orange/yellow colour and makes it tender and moist.

Wow, these look delicious and adorable! I'm interested in how the "nutritional breaks" work, too. I try to have involvement with my kids schools advocating for relaxing mealtimes and opportunities for outdoor activity. Do they eat and have recess at each break? How do they like it?

Those look gorgeous. 2 40-minute nutritional breaks is an interesting idea. I'm not sure my one lunch when I was in school was even 40 minutes.

Those look lovely. There's a local bakery that does cinnamon swirl pumpkin yeast breat. Just awesome. Have you ever baked with "spent grain?" The grain left over from brewing beer. If you know a home brewer ask for the grain from their next batch, then do an internet search for spent grain bread. The results will knock you for a loop. Amazing stuff. I've got three brewing batches of grain in my freezer right now. I've gotta get some baking done, myself.

They look wonderful!
How much can you taste the pumpkin?

- Vegan Dad said...
Linda M,
They eat first, then they go outside. The kids actually like it a lot, and I like it because they actually eat everything I pack.
They don;t taste like pumpkin, really, but they have a great texture and are wonderfully moist.

They look so good!

They look great! Have you thought of roasting the pumpkin instead of boiling it?
Takes longer to bake than boil, but you keep more nutriants and you don't have to peel it first :)

I plan to do some Swanning. Past Tense - You just got Swanned!
by cheesemonkey101 July 18, 2011
Essentially this is a variation of "the Shocker." Swanning occurs when a person places either the pinky and or ring finger into a womans anus while reaching the thumb over the vagina to apply clitoral stimulation. One can imagine the position and reaching of the thumb as the craning of a swans neck.
Woman: My vagina is so sore right now, but I'm kinda horny. Could go for a serious Swanning right now.

"This beer is so good mate, I'm bloody swanning!"
by LuckNPike September 17, 2015
Swanning is a term for dying. Originally, it only meant twisting yourself in your sheets while asleep and strangling to death. Now it can also mean having swans wrap their necks around you, drag you out into the water to drown, and then using your hair for a nest.

I've been working o my website and I just noticed that most of the links from my Follow Me plugin are broken. The feed link works fine, but everything else leads to a 404. I can see what's wrong with the URL - my site address and "%20" gets put in front of every link and there are some additional problems. What I can't figure out is why this is happening or how to fix it. I have never touched the plugin code and every other link on my site works fine. I tried reentering the links and deleting and reinstalling the plugin. The problem persists. I'm self taught in HTML and CSS, so the plugin code is a little beyond me.

1969 Chevy Truck - Bob's BabeWritten by on December 31, 2006 She's A Sweet '69
When it comes to old trucks, not everyone has the same idea of what constitutes the perfect pickup. That's why there are 31 flavors, 57 varieties, and seven days in a week. Well, maybe the last one isn't a good example, but you get the idea: variety is the spice of life.
For Bob Sorensen of Salem, Oregon, the absolute best truck without exception in his eyes is a 1969 Chevrolet. At the time Bob embarked on his quest to build a '69 Chevy, he lived in Phoenix, Arizona. While not everyone agrees on what the perfect truck is, hardly anyone can argue with the fact that the climate in Arizona is one of the best places in the world when it comes to a truck body's life expectancy.
The '69 Bob located was already a work in progress. As the story goes, a father and son team blew it apart and began the customizing process, but somewhere along the line they lost interest and sold it to the next guy. Bob isn't sure, but he thinks this might have been where the '69 ended up with 4 inches chopped out of the roof. The '69 passed through a few other owners before Bob took possession of the pickup. He liked the looks of the '69's chopped top, but he hated its stance-it just didn't sit low enough for him.
To lower the frontend and maintain decent ground clearance, Bob followed the advice of Industrial Chassis in Phoenix and grafted a '95 Dodge Durango clip onto his '69 Chevy. In place of conventional springs, the truck rides on Air Ride Technologies' products, with the front shocks relocated to the A-arms. Another feature inherited with the Dodge swap was the power rack-and-pinion steering. At the top end of the '69's steering apparatus a wood-grained Grant steering wheel twists a custom steering column from Flaming River. As it turned out, grafting the Durango clip was just the tip of the iceberg for the '69's frame and suspension. The Rod Shop in Avondale, Arizona, ran 1 1/2-inch tubing from the inner crossmember rearward to the two-piece driveshaft, where each driveshaft has its own safety loop. Bringing up the rear is a Ford 9-inch differential stuffed with a set of 3.30:1 gears.
By the time the '69 was ready for additional bodywork, Bob had decided to move to Oregon to spend a lot more time with his 15 grandchildren. He loaded up his Chevy along with his tools and headed north. But before tearing back into the Chevy, Bob constructed a new shop to work in. Along with some of his friends, his own labor, and Myke's Rod & Chassis in Salem, Oregon, the '69 was ready for paint. To handle Oregon's colder climate and resist rust better than the Chevy's original acrylic lacquer finish, Myke's laid on a heavy coating of DuPont metallic Fire Red Imron polyurethane paint. On the inside, Craig's Auto Upholstery stitched velour from the door panels and seat up to the chop top's headliner. For instrumentation, the familiar blue glow of Dakota Digital gauges can be found. The original GM wiring harness that evolved to resemble an explosion of multicolored spaghetti was replaced with a custom made-to-fit wiring harness from Painless Products. To protect the custom work done to the bed's interior, Bob specified a lid from Gaylord's of Santa Fe Springs, California. Although Salem is on Oregon's coast, where it doesn't get all that hot, Bob installed air conditioning from Vintage Air to cope with the intense heat encountered on Oregon's and Washington's high-desert regions.
Looking back to the early stages of the '69's build, Bob said the guys he dealt with in Arizona really came through for him. When it came down to final assembly on the '69, Bob told us it was once again the guys at Myke's Rod & Chassis who deserve the credit. Since completing his truck not all that long ago, Bob has racked up almost 17,000 miles competing at shows in the Western states and getting 19 mpg doing it. He says his truck is a really nice cruiser.

Music Ministry
Music Ministry at the College Church supports and encourages the active participation of the assembly in music and song. The College Church Choir, the Children's Choir at Christmas, and the cantors and musicians who play at weekly liturgies all share in this mission to foster prayer through prayerful and uplifting music.
The College Church Choir is a 40 voice choir that was founded and influenced by the St. Louis Jesuits in their early days. Music is led by the choir at the 10:30 a.m. mass and by cantors and instrumentalists at the Saturday 5:15 p.m. and Sunday 8:30 a.m. masses.
The choir rehearses weekly, with an additional warm-up on Sunday mornings before the 10:30 a.m. mass. The Choir usually is on Summer break during July and the first half of August.
For most Sundays, the music we are using is listed on the Sunday Web Site of the St. Louis University Center for Liturgy.
We invite anyone who might have an interest in Music Ministry, whether as a cantor, choir member or instrumentalist, to contact the Director of Music at the number or e-mail address below.

Implementing threading in a program is hard, yes, however why is it that some people will not implement them even when there is an obvious need for it.
An example: Program has to load a dataset from a database, the thing to do would be to make the connection and get the data from the database in a worker thread and then load it into the GUI, leaving the GUI thread responsive for the user.
But no, I've talked to people whom seem to think that threads are evil and bad and whatnot and one should avoid them at all costs. I've even heard that some class instructor advised against to use of threads and therefore did not want cover their use. WHAT???
With the hardware going into multi-core, I think that we need to understand threads better and not be afraid to use them. I find it a fascinating subject personally.
So what are things you've heard about threading that are false?

Kentucky-Kentucky horse racing is arguably the best in the world, for more than 2 centuries thoroughbreds have been raised in the Bluegrass to compete for millions of dollars.
In this image released by HBO, horses race in a scene from the HBO original series "Luck." The former director of the American Humane Association's Film and Television Unit sued HBO and the group on Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, claiming she was fired for complaining about the use of drugged, sick and underweight horses on the show "Luck." (AP Photo/HBO, Gusmano Cesaretti)
As the annual run for the roses approaches we took a look back in time to how racing has changed through the years.
It only takes 2 miles for a half ton horse to reach 40 miles per hour, sometimes all four legs leave the ground, making the horse literally fly through the course, a spectacle many say is breathtaking.
It all started in 1873 when Colonel M. Lewis Clark devised the idea of a Louisville jockey club.
Clark started a racetrack to showcase the Kentucky breeding industry.
It wasn't until 1937 the track was incorporated as Churchill Downs now the track is known for hosting the famous Kentucky Derby.
The most exciting two minutes in sports, having a horse in the Derby is what every horse owner hopes for local attorney Gary Logsdon knows that feeling.
"Teufelsberg was a very interesting horse," says Logsdon," I had a couple partners in the horse, Kurt Maier, from Bowling Green, and as was Tyler Thompson, and we all had a glorious time at the Derby."
"Teufelsberg ran an extremely impressive race at the top of the stretch," says Logsdon, "He folded his competitive spirit and coasted home 17th."
"Kentucky is the horse breeding capital of the world, Florida may argue but, the reason for that is the quality of the environment and the water quality as well as the soils in Kentucky. "
Logsdon says the calcium in the water makes for strong, fast horses.
He no longer owns horses, but he says the racing industry isn't what it used to be. "Kentucky is really having a hard time with its thoroughbred industry, Florida is having even more of a difficult time. It's frankly a difficult time for most venues in the thoroughbred horse industry."
He says competition with other forms of gambling such as casinos or "racinos" are making it difficult.
While casino style gambling is not legal in the Bluegrass, Kentucky Downs in Franklin is getting close.
Bill Flesher, Vice President of Development at Kentucky Downs says Instant Racing has transformed the track.
"Kentucky Downs was founded as a steeple chase race track back in the 1990's it has morphed into a thoroughbred racing only track and the only track to feature all turf, there is not dirt track," says Flesher.
While Kentucky Downs may be the shortest stop in the Kentucky racing circuit, what's happening inside Kentucky Down's clubhouse is really boosting business.
"Instant Racing arrived at Kentucky Downs on September one of 2001, Kentucky Downs has expanded to 390 terminals up from the original 200 terminals," says Flesher.
It is a form of virtual racing, where you can bet on races that have already been run.
While it has caused some controversy there is no denying its success.
"It's a product that has gained wide acceptance within the area," says Flesher, "and it's a product that's really increasing our racing product in it's increasing purses and breeding funds that should enhance our live race meet when it comes back in September."
Making Kentucky Downs more than just a race track.
"Instant Racing has transformed Kentucky Downs," he says, "we were a sleepy little race track that had five days of racing a year, simulcasting a little bit of food and drink and now we're an entertainment destination."
For Logsdon, he no longer races horses but he says it's something he will never forget.
"I owned a farm in Florida in O'Calla, I now own no farm and no horses, I'm too old for all that excitement," he says.
For those of you not able to make it to Louisville for Saturday's race, Kentucky Downs will be opening its doors both Saturday and Sunday for simulcasting and celebration.
Logsdon's horse Teufelsberg is now a top stud in New York.

Return to Work Behavior of People with Disabilities: A Multi-Method Approach Mariusz Balaban, MYMIC LLC. Winter Simulation Conference, 2014.
This paper discusses the development of a simulation model to mimic a return to work phenomenon of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) enrollees in the United States. Agent Based and Bayesian Network methods are used within a multi-method simulation model to capture system conditions and enrollee behavior.» Lire plus
Modeling Human Behavior – An (ID)entity Crisis? Sally C. Brailsford, University of Southampton. Winter Simulation Conference, 2014.
Agent-based modeling (ABM) has gained great popularity in recent years, especially in application areas where human behavior is important, because it opens up the possibility of capturing such behavior in great detail. Hybrid models which combine ABM with discrete-event simulation (DES) are particularly appealing in service industry applications.» Lire plus
Towards Closed Loop Modeling: Evaluatng The Prospects for Creating Recurrently Regrounded Aggregate Simulation Models Using Particle Filtering Nathaniel Osgood, Juxin Liu, University of Saskatchewan 106 Wiggins Road, University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon. Winter Simulation Conference, 2014
Public health agencies traditionally rely heavily on epidemiological reporting for notifiable disease control, but increasingly apply simulation models for forecasting and to understand intervention tradeoffs. Unfortunately, such models traditionally lack capacity to easily incorporate information from epidemiological data feeds.» Lire plus

The largest public mental health facility in the United States is not a hospital; it is the Los Angeles County Jail. This paper describes an agent-based approach to explaining why prisons and jails house so many of America's most seriously mentally ill. It traces this fact to the differing ways in which various housing situations react to mental illness and to legislation passed in the 1960's, which allocated public funding away from state mental hospitals.» Lire plus

Quantitative analysis of bidding strategies: a hybrid agent based–system dynamics approach Arash MAHDAVI and Makarand HASTAK, Purdue University
Economic slowdown and construction demand shrinkage reduces the profit backlog for construction contractors and bites into their profit margin. The resulting fierce competition for jobs forces construction companies to look for more sophisticated analytical tools to analyze and improve their bidding strategies. For each contractor, bidding strategy is a decision-making process that is driven by the firm's financial goals with the final objective of maximizing the firm's gross profit and surpassing the breakeven point. This paper proposes a methodology to model and analyze different bidding strategies with hybrid agent based-system dynamics (ABSD) simulation.» Lire plus

20 Years Ago - June 1993Written by Eric Geisert on September 21, 2013
An interview with C.J. Hart and Creighton Hunter—the creators of the Santa Ana Drags that ran in Southern California from 1950 to 1959—featured great photos, including a drag race between Don Blair (foreground) getting the jump on Dick Kraft in his legendary stripped-down T, regarded as the first dragster.
At 23 years old, Rob Ida was at the beginning of his hot rod building career when he started working with his father, Bob, at Ida Automotive, which is based in New Jersey. He and his '41 Willys made STREET RODDER's June '93 cover.
An overview of Altered race cars from the '60s and '70s was put together by master photographer Bob McClurg, who has probably captured more incredible moments from drag racing's most dynamic era than anyone else. The collection includes this fire burnout shot from 1974 that featured Mike Sullivan's "Topolino", Dave Hough in "Nanook", and 12 gallons of Super Shell.
No one was really restoring legendary vehicles from hot rodding's past before Bruce Meyer began doing it in the early '90s, and he has since built an impressive collection, which includes the restored drag/salt racer Pierson Brothers Coupe. Jerry Weesner spoke with both Pierson brothers, Dick and Bob, for an in-depth interview for the magazine.
The 41st annual Detroit Autorama was held in its home for many decades, Cobo Hall, and Mark Vilano's traditional T was displayed there with a Chrysler 392 Hemi topped with six Stromberg carbs.

Concerned that credit go where it's due, I hope there's no doubt as to who's who - from left to right, the third image shows the blonde Peter Martins, the fourth, climactic one, deserving the four exclamation points in rg's caption IMO, shows the dark-haired d'Amboise.

i MEANT to put the fronts and backs together for clarity but i am not deft enough here to 'order' my scans when i attach them.
and as might have been noticed, i had a few mishaps w/ posting the earlier, '67, photo w/ d'Amboise - first i neglected to watermark the scan, then the watermark mistaken included a copyright mark so the watermarked scan now up is the third one of as many attempts to post it.
apologies to anyone who might have gotten confused.
and by way of apology, i attach another historic photo and caption of Farrell and d'Amboise.
this from '63 to promote Lincoln Center Day in a CBS telecast, which included Farrell dancing in the role she danced at the ballet's premiere after she replaced the intended lead, Diana Adams - MOVEMENTS FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA - and in which i suspect she's posed here.

MOVEMENTS FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA -... in which i suspect she's posed here.
I can't speak to the pose, but the costumes would be wrong for Movements, for which she would have been entirely in white and he also, except for black tights. According to the NYPL catalog entry, that ballet was on the program with Symphony in C excerpts, which this pose is clearly not, so I wonder what we have documented here? A moment in some studio where a moment in the new ballet, just five months old, is realized in whatever the dancers happened to have on, rather than in its own dress?
Posted 21 August 2012 - 01:25 PM
it wasn't until '65 that this work was paired with MONUMENTUM PRO GESUALDO, so it's just possible the white costuming for MOVEMENTS came into being once they were paired. as you say the CBS telecast included only excerpts of SYM IN C i;n addition to MOVEMENTS.
likewise even if MOVEMENTS was dressed in the 'whites' we know today, this could have been a rehearsal togs photo.
still, my thoughts are only thoughts, not hard facts where identifications are concerned.
here's the NYPL dance cat. listing for the telecast:
[Lincoln Center Day, Sunday 22 September 1963] 23 min.
Telecast on CBS-TV from Philharmonic Hall, N.Y.C., September 22, 1963. Narrated by Alistair Cooke and Jacques D'Amboise.
Choreography: George Balanchine. Performed by the New York City Ballet.
CONTENTS:--Symphony in C: 2nd movement (abridged). Music: Georges Bizet. Soloists: Allegra Kent and Conrad Ludlow.--Movements for piano and orchestra. Music: Igor Stravinski. Soloists: Suzanne Farrell and Jacques D'Amboise.--Symphony in C: 4th movement (abridged). Soloists: Patricia Wilde, Andre Prokovsky, Allegra Kent and Conrad Ludlow.

... i'm not so sure, it's not MOVEMENTS - the 'body language' looks right to me.
... this could have been a rehearsal togs photo.
I think now that's the story. It wouldn't be the first time something posed in a photographer's studio - the paper backdrop is pretty obvious - is rather different one way or another from what appeared onstage. (And my thinking-out-loud looks a little picky. Nothing like a night in the theater to restore you to yourself - in this case, Rubies, Faun, and Graham's Chronicle at the Chicago Dancing Festival the night before last.)

a related photo of Farrell is reproduced in Bentley's COSTUMES BY KARINSKA where the caption notes that the headpiece was worn backwards for the photo session.
this particular print has some retoucher's brushwork around Farrell's eyes and along the line of her nose.

Dale, I also found this photo somehow familiar. I just checked my paperback edition of SF's autobiography. Photo No. 8 -- a head-and-shoulders shot from the much earlier Don Quixote -- is remarkably the same as to pose. Farrell is wearing a headdress, but not one extending down over the forehead. Ear rings are dangly, but the hair is up. There appears to be no retouching around the heavily made-up eyes. The photo is credited to Cecil Beaton.
I think I've seen the non-touched up picture somewhere else...her bio?

Now that setting bounties on other peoples questions is planned, I think it would make sense to separate the indication that a bounty has been awarded from the checkmark. (create a separate icon). Then the issue about auto-acceptance of answers could finally disappear, as the bounty and bounty icon could be automatically awarded instead of acceptance.
Additional possibilities that are non-core. It is not actually necessary to implement these possibilities, rather they are just listed as examples of what else would be possible once bounties were split off:
- Multiple bounties would become possible, with the proviso that one person cannot receive over 500 points from answering a single questions.
- 15 points of the bounty could be kept separate for the question owner to award

Lakeland Man Dies in Motorcycle Crash
Published: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 6:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 8:23 p.m.
LAKELAND | A 29-year-old man died Wednesday after his motorcycle collided with a car on Lakeland Hills Boulevard, according to Lakeland police.
Ryan Derr, 29, of 724 Arbor Glen Circle, Lakeland, was riding his motorcycle south on Lakeland Hills Boulevard about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to police.
As Derr's motorcycle approached the intersection at Granada Street, a 2006 Buick driven by George Reske, 87, was traveling north on Lakeland Hills Boulevard.
Reske of 1002 N. Canary Circle, Lakeland turned left onto Granada Street in front of the approaching motorcycle and the motorcycle hit the right-rear side of his car, police said.
The impact was strong enough to rotate the gold Buick completely, as police reported it was facing east when it came to rest.
Derr was taken by ambulance to Lakeland Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to police. He was not wearing a helmet, police reported.
Reske was not injured, according to police.
Lakeland Hills Boulevard was shut down at the intersection for about three hours by patrol cars and barricades.
Police said the case remains open and a follow-up investigation will be completed by a traffic homicide investigator.

I usually find after blowing out my pic in computer that at one point (where I wished to focus) image is very sharp, then as I inspect the picture I see that some more part of the image either horizontally or vertically is in focus
My doubt is When we lock the focus at certain point, Is it that entire plane(both in x and y direction) is in focus, because I see most of the times(In Macro) , focusing is either horizontal or vertical or I have mistaken, because of minute difference in distance. eg.
(In focus)
(Not in focus ) ________|__________ (Not in focus or I have mistaken)
(In focus)
And I understand a general statement that higher F-number means more area of focus.

It seems that the scoring for fields and cities in Carcassonne varies -- has this changed over the years, or is this a difference between the US and international versions? Are there generally-accepted correct scoring rules for fields and cities?
Sign up

There seem to be several different scoring systems for fields/cities in Carcassonne — which is correct?
The third edition scoring is now what is shipped by both Rio Grande Games(US distributor) and Hans im Glück(Original, German publishers)
Rio Grande Games made the changes for the english version of the game (1st and 2nd edition scoring).
Here are a summary of the scoring rule changes by edition
Rio Grande Games only recently (2009) starting shipping the 3rd edition rules, while Hans im Glück issued them in 2004. The reason given is that RGG prefers not to issue rule changes when reprinting a game. This meant that they had to rewrite the rules of most expansions issued to ensure they were compatible.
I do not believe that Jay Tummelson (Head of Rio Grande Games) has stated why the switch was made in 2009. I think there are two possible explanations.
There are three versions of the Carcassonne rules; citing Wikipedia:
I would imagine that tournaments will typically use the newest official version of the rules, but for recreational play there is no such thing as "correct" rules. Use whichever version your co-players and you agree on.

It's not a general-purpose recommendable camera thanks to subpar video and slightly sluggish performance, but for photo-quality-first photographers who want the analog-ish shooting experience, the Fujifilm X-E1 rules in its price range.
Fujifilm's the latest manufacturer to turn one of its flagship cameras into one capable of infrared vision.
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
While it may not be the best overall camera available for less than $1,000, the Fujifilm X-M1 does deliver the best photo quality in its price class.
For its entry-level ILC, Fujifilm swaps out the X-Trans sensor and gives the camera a less snazzy finish.
The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a nice compromise if you can't afford a Leica but want to approximate the experience and get some stunning photo quality to boot.
Pricing not available
There'll also be a big firmware update for the X-T1 in December.
The X-T1 produces the great photos we've come to expect from Fujifilm's X series ILCs.
With fast continuous shooting, excellent photo quality and a great viewfinder, there's quite a bit to like about the camera.
Fujifilm's weather-sealed version of the X-E2 has a different -- and possibly better -- design.

Hi folks,
I plugged the following set of numbers into Excel:
[600 470 170 430 300]
I found the mean (394), summed the numbers, divided by 5 to get variance (21704). I then did the square root to find stdev (147.32).
Using Excel or Wolfram Alpha's variance and stdev function give me differnt numbers, variance 27130 and stdev 164.71 respectively. Why? I believe I am following the equation as listed on Wikipedia, my stat text book, and the following page:
What am I missing?

Just spent some time on the Iver-Johnson 410. Bore looks real good. I'll spray the action with brake cleaner tomorrow and see what's what. I think it will end up being a good little shooter, though.So that gives me a run of long guns from a pair of .22s - semi and bolt - a 410, a 12 ga, then a .223, and finally my SMLE 303. I think that gives me enough versatility. Maybe. A 20 ga might be nice, though.Now as to handguns....25, .32, .38, .357, and .45. I'd like another .45, to tell the truth. And maybe another .357.And a few thousand more rounds of ammo. Given that at the moment it's illegal to buy mail order ammo in San Francisco, that may take a bit of thought.
One or more of each shotguns in each gage makes this impractical advice.
However. As an explanation, a 20ga round will slide right through the chamber of a 12ga shotgun, and into the bore, where it will eventually hang up. You will be able to chamber a 12 ga round, but the 20 ga. shell blocking the bore will cause an explosion.
BTW, Bill...did you call the cops about the firefight?
<<snip>>In the context of prepping, I can't think of a compelling need for a 20ga when you already have a 12ga--or vice versa, for that matter. IOW, if say, one's wife much preferred the 20ga over the 12ga, standardize on the 20ga. No biggee.<<snip>>
...once things go to Fort Polk in a hand-basket.
That being said, I suggest that the shotgun in one's non-preferred gauge be a single-shot break-action shotgun; this should minimize the risk of loading the wrong shell, thus minimizing the risk of a ka-boom.
Aside from the question of the logistics of "standardizing" on calibers/gages for firearms in a household, when looking at an extended family or mutual aid group, the idea becomes doubtful. "What? You have a 16 gauge shotgun? That's it, you're out of the group!"
You know, when some of our friends were getting ready to PCS from Bragg to Campbell, they tried to find themselves a MAG, or at least a group of like minded prepper folk to work/communicate with.The one group they found said that to be a part of the group, they had to have an AK klone for each adult.
Now, I can see that there are a lot of plusses to having at least some standardization of firearms, but I don't think I'd exclude folks just because they didn't have a specific kind of gun. (And, if the S hits the F bad enough, I figure a combat experienced infantry NCO would be a definite asset, no matter what kind of gun he has.)
I'm inclining towards cd's argument. Rather than buy a 20ga, I think I'll put any further shotgun money toward another 12ga.
I've been thinkin' I might just 'need' one of those double barrel Stoeger coach guns in 12 ga. That'd make a mighty fine little house gun. A good backup for the 870, or maybe the other way around.Short, light, easy to handle and there ain't too many people out there that want to stare down a 12 ga double barrel.
Well, you can generally find used 870s for around $200 or so, although around here those tend to be of the hunting flavor with long dove/duck/turkey barrels.
Yep, and you can pick up an 18 inch (smooth) Remington barrel for another 130.00. IIRC my Mossberg barrel (for a Remington 870) was closer to 100. Changing them out is very simple, takes 5 minutes tops. That's what I've got leaning up in the corner right now.
Still might pick up a coach gun though, just because I can
Whichever, if you get one, please give us (read: me!) your impressions.
Still, if anybody can point me in the right direction for a complete takedown of this rifle, (Remington Model 34, boltie, tube mag, .22 LR, I'd much appreciate it.
And a lot of the more popular calibers have been harder to get the last few weeks...
I need more ammo.But then, who doesn't?

Larry Lawton, 64, of Nebraska City was sentenced to 18 months probation for a Nov. 6 traffic accident that resulted in the pedestrian fatality of William Elmer Perkins, commonly known as Walkin' Willie.
Lawton told Judge Randall Rehmeier that his sleep has been disturbed ever since the accident.
"I do value life very highly and I've tried to figure out in my mind why it happened," Lawton said. "I regret everything that happened," he said.
His attorney, Chris Lathrop of Papillion, said Lawton was making a left turn when the 79-year-old Perkins entered the shadowed area of the crosswalk near Central Avenue and 11th Street and walked into the side of Lawton's Chevrolet Blazer.
One witness told police that Perkins appeared to fall into the Blazer as it passed.
A mirror on the Blazer was broken and Perkins died from complications of his injuries in a Lincoln hospital on Nov. 27.
Police reports indicate that sunglare for westbound traffic and the shadow across the crosswalk were factors in the accident. Lawton turned left as a vehicle in the opposing lane turned right.
Lathrop said both Lawton and his wife, who was in the passenger seat, were watching, but did not see Perkins.
He said the circumstances of Perkin's death have troubled Lawton.
"I don't think there is anyone, that I've represented in my 20 years of practice, more humble and more fully regretful for what has taken place," he said.
He said Lawton's wife has not been able to drive a vehicle since the incident out of fear that something similar might happen.
He said Lawton, who has not had another traffic citation since 1977, is also responsible for raising a four-year-old special needs child.
Judge Rehmeier noted Lawton's service during the Vietnam War, where he earned a Purple Heart.
"He has been a good, forthright citizen through his life," the judge said. "There were a number of factors that came together at one time that resulted in the unfortunate death of Mr. Perkins," he said.
He sentenced Lawton to 18 months probation and a $600 fine for careless driving and three degree assault.

Ever seen somebody riding the Spinner® bike and losing control of his pedals? May be it even happened to yourself. What should you do?
Yes, indeed, hit the emergency break that is on your bike.
If you answered the above question correctly, you probably have had some good instructions from your Spinning® coach. A safety check is essential before riding the bike.
Below you will find the most important check points.
Maybe you would not think of it, but clothing plays an important role as. Using cycling shorts will make you feel more comfortable in riding in the saddle for longer periods. Wearing long jazz pants should be avoided, as the wide legs can become entangled with the cranks. This actually happened to me a long time ago, and I must say.. it hurted. My Achilles did not like it ;)
Further it is best to wear shirts of absorbent material. Cotton will get soaked wet and very cold on your muscles, especially when you have a nice air conditioning in the room.
Last but not least your shoes.. of course cycling shoes are ideal, because of the sturdy soles. If you wear other shoes, like running shoes or aerobic shoes, make sure the shoe laces are tucked away, so they will not get entangled with the cranks.
Water bottle filled with water or another sports drink. No carbonated beverages, as it will produce gasses during your work out. A dry towel on the back of your saddle to wipe the sweat.
Start with a correct set up of the bike. If you are not set up in the right way you might end up with some serious injuries. If you are seated too low for example, your knee joints will be put under high pressure and if seated too high your knee ligaments will be stretched out too far. So make sure you are being guided by your Spinning® coach. And remember my previous blog: don't be afraid to feel free to ask questions!
Know your bike. Not every bike is the same. Check how the resistance knob works and find the emergency break. In some bikes you have to push the resistance knob in others you have to pull. It is nice to know what you should do in case your feet get out of the pedals…
Now you are ready to ride! Have fun!
Have a great weekend J

I see a lot of the hottest foods having multiple peppers used in their sauce, with the infamous ghost peppers being among them. If the ghost pepper is the hottest pepper in the dish, do the other peppers really add any more heat to the recipe or do they actually dilute the ghost pepper's fire?
To put it simply: if you increase the amount of capsaicin per bite of food, you'll make it hotter.
So if we're talking about just a sauce that's basically pure peppers, then yes, the mixture of a very hot pepper and a more mild pepper will be somewhere in between the two, and the addition of the mild pepper dilutes the sauce - a spoonful of it will not contain as much capsaicin.
But if we're talking about a dish that's mostly other things, with ghost pepper for heat in the sauce, and on top of that you add another pepper to the sauce, then yes, the other pepper will add heat - there'll be more capsaicin in each bite. Will it be noticeable? If it's a banana pepper, no - it's orders of magnitude milder, so you'll never notice. If it's a habanero, probably - it's not that much more mild than the ghost pepper.
Other peppers may well add great flavor, though. There's quite a variety among all the chilis, and it's perfectly reasonable to use half a dozen different ones in a single dish just to get the nice full flavor you want. This is still true if you're making a really hot dish. That said, if you're talking about "the hottest foods" and ghost peppers, it sounds like your goal is really just to make something really hot, not something you can actually taste - you can definitely get plenty of heat from other peppers. If you're using the hottest possible peppers, it's probably either a gimmick, or the whole point is to burn your tongue off so you can't taste anything else anyway.
This is of course all assuming you're actually using the whole pepper, in order to get all the heat from it. If you're not, then... why are you bothering with ghost peppers? See Cos Callis' answer for more explanation.
I had a similar question sometime ago. You should think of the pepper in three parts:

While each breed of pepper has its own unique flavor. If during the preparation the veins and seeds are removed, regardless of the type of pepper, the heat is removed with them. The variety of peppers in any given recipe will contribute flavors to the dish, but -per the answer to the previous question (from @Jefromi) - capsaicin is capsaicin and the overall 'heat' of the dish reflects how thoroughly the veins and seeds have been removed or not removed.
In short, more types of peppers does not necessarily add more heat, but more capsaicin does.
The picture included was chosen because it illustrates the structure of the pepper, it is not an endorsement of the tool being demonstrated.
Jefromi has it right in that you sum up capsaicin of different peppers for spiciness and vary flavor by using different ones. What you can do to increase perceived spiciness considerably without adding more of capsaicin carriers though, is using foods/spices that are hot through different means.
For example, black pepper comes from piperine, and spiciness of horseradish and wasabi - from sinigrin, which act completely orthogonally from capsaicin. A dish with a spoon of chili and a spoon of wasabi will be likely hotter than both a dish with two spoons of chili or one with two spoons of wasabi.

I really enjoyed drawing these three faces freehand because two of the races represent my heritage. When you finish the tutorial, can you to comment and guess which two races I represent? I will answer back. So, without further ado, have fun learning "how to sketch a face", step by step! Get your graphite pencils ready because you're going for a ride!
