I want to use an ArrayList (or some other collection) like how I would use a standard array.
Specifically, I want it to start with an intial size (say, SIZE), and be able to set elements explicitly right off the bat,
array[4] = "stuff";
could be written
array.set(4, "stuff");
However, the following code throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException:
ArrayList<Object> array = new ArrayList<Object>(SIZE);
array.set(4, "stuff"); //wah wahhh
I know there are a couple of ways to do this, but I was wondering if there was one that people like, or perhaps a better collection to use. Currently, I'm using code like the following:
ArrayList<Object> array = new ArrayList<Object>(SIZE);
for(int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
array.set(4, "stuff"); //hooray...
The only reason I even ask is because I am doing this in a loop that could potentially run a bunch of times (tens of thousands). Given that the ArrayList resizing behavior is "not specified," I'd rather it not waste any time resizing itself, or memory on extra, unused spots in the Array that backs it. This may be a moot point, though, since I will be filling the array (almost always every cell in the array) entirely with calls to array.set(), and will never exceed the capacity?
I'd rather just use a normal array, but my specs are requiring me to use a Collection.

text: Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals (+3) Yikes. I'm really eschewing my advice on page one about taking road favorites and laying points. I'm sure that's going to come back and bite me, especially considering I'm picking America's new favorite team in this game. Yes, after an awesome 3-0 start with tough games against the Raiders and Patriots, the Buffalo Bills are undefeated through three weeks. I can't say I'm shocked, since I was on the Ryan Fitzpatrick bandwagon last season, but I'm really surprised by the success of the offense. The Bills have rallied back in two straight games to win, but what's been really amazing is that the team has a 78% success rate in the red zone this season, third behind the Giants and Raiders. The Bills can score when they need to, and that's been an awesome development to witness. On the other hand, I feel as though I almost got duped into believing in the Bengals after Week 1. Remember, the team was able to beat the Browns in Cleveland with a rookie quarterback. With Cam Newton outperforming that week as well, it made me start to wonder whether rookie quarterbacks can indeed win often in the NFL. Since then, the wheels have come off the Bengals bandwagon. In Week 2, Cincinnati lost its second straight road game by only two points, although I still cannot figure out for the life of me why Denver won that game. In Week 3, Dalton and the Bengals offense had three turnovers in a miserable game at home against the 49ers. In other words, this looks like it could be one of those classic "trap" games. A 3-0 team that has an outstanding offense traveling on the road against a team coming off a home loss where they had trouble throwing and running. What could possibly go wrong? According to Vegas Insider, the Las Vegas Hilton opened with the Bills as 3-point favorites late Sunday and that line hasn't moved. However, you have to lay down $120 (rather than $110) to win $100. On the other hand, taking Cincinnati and the points has gone from -110 to +100, meaning you get even odds for taking the underdog at home. In other words, Vegas oddsmakers really don't to move off of the key number of 3 points, so instead they're enticing bettors into picking Cincinnati because of the lower amount you have to put up to win. "We've got Buffalo winning by 7 points," says PredictionMachine.com's Bessire. "Cincinnati has a good defense, and that's definitely notable. That said, Buffalo's defense will be better, especially against the pass. The Bills have thrived on that pass defense for three seasons now. The reason we like Buffalo isn't because Fitzpatrick will throw for touchdowns; facing Dalton and Cedric Benson is easier than facing that Patriots offense." Pregame.com's Leonard notes that the look-ahead lines at one Vegas book had this game as Buffalo -1.5, but he couldn't bring himself to play Cincinnati as the underdog. "After last week's game, the line has gone up 1.5 points, but I still can't play Cincinnati," he says. "I just don't think the Bengals are that good. That said, I don't want to lay more than a field goal. The letdown spot is huge after a huge, emotional game." The Pick: Bills -3. I feel like a square picking this game, but I feel like the worst-case scenario is a push and I get my money back. The public is really going to jump on Buffalo, and yet the line is still only 3 points at -120. My views are only for entertainment, so keep that in mind when I say I would like to hop on Bills -3 before this line moves up by a half-point as we get closer to the weekend. Buffalo knows how important it will be to get a 4-0 start considering the tough division they're in. Yes, they're coming off a high after beating New England for the first time in more than a dozen tries, but I think they can win and cover this game. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Robert Holmes. >To follow Robert Holmes on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/RobTheStreet. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Some of our other work consists of natural light in outdoor environments to studio lighting set-ups where the use of directional and fill lighting are used to create dramatic and creative effect.

We enjoy family photography, high school senior portraits, graduation and college portraits. Therefore, our forte is working in the studio. It's more creative to us. We do go on location at times to photograph families. Local parks is the likely choice since bigger families need a little more room to work with.

Clinics told to keep eye out for glaucoma
Eye doctors from top mainland hospitals are calling on their counterparts at grass-roots clinics to be better prepared to treat glaucoma, as early identification and regular check-ups, which generally happen at lower-level hospitals, are essential for treatment.
This week marks World Glaucoma Week, jointly set up by the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) and the World Glaucoma Patient Association (WGPA). The campaign was extended from one day to one week last year to boost awareness of the eye condition.
According to the WGA, glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide, after cataracts.
But unlike cataracts, which can be cured with operations, glaucoma is irreversible. It is estimated that 4.5 million people globally are blind because of glaucoma, and the number is expected to rise to 11.2 million by 2020.
About half of affected people in developed countries are unaware they have the condition, and that figure may rise to about 90 per cent in underdeveloped parts of the world, the organisation said.
Dr Fu Mingshui from the Shanghai First People's Hospital echoed those figures, estimating that about 90 per cent of mainlanders with glaucoma have not been diagnosed for two reasons: they do not go to hospitals for examinations, and if they do go, many doctors are not able to tell if the patient has glaucoma because of a poor understanding of the disease. 'There is a high percentage of misdiagnoses, especially with early and middle-stage glaucoma,' Fu said.
Dr Lin Yunxia from Shenyang's He Eye Care Hospital, the biggest optical centre in northeastern China, said that many doctors at grass-roots hospitals were lacking in their knowledge about glaucoma and were not familiar with the screening methods, which are simple.
'For example, for elderly people who are presbyopic [increasingly unable to focus on near objects] and suffer from eye and head pains, doctors should consider the possibility of glaucoma. But to my knowledge, about 50 per cent of doctors at community clinics refer these patients to neurology departments. That will just prolong their treatment,' Lin said. 'Therefore, it's necessary to ramp up the education among doctors at low-level clinics.'
There are about 20 million people on the mainland who have glaucoma, roughly a quarter of all those affected globally, Fu said. While the condition can attack people of all ages, the occurrence tends to be highest among older people. He says the disease affects 2 per cent of people above 40, and 7 per cent of people above 60.
Fu said the majority of Chinese do not know what glaucoma is, and they regard it as a type of cataract. 'Many people think glaucoma can be removed and that their eyes can recover after surgery, like with cataracts.
'When I told them that glaucoma can't be healed, even with surgery, and that it is a life-long illness, some patients can't accept this fact and most feel distressed,' he said.
Lin says people typically misunderstand the disease, thinking it means a person will have eye pains. However, before the late stage of its development, glaucoma does not cause pains, but rather narrows the sufferer's field of vision. That is why glaucoma is described as the 'silent blinding disease'.
Dr Meng Fanrong from the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University said that regular check-ups on eye pressure and visual field are also important for patients who have already had an operation to treat glaucoma, as the recurrence rate is 15 to 20 per cent.

Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.

Weather permitting and given time constraints on scheduling, I thought I would suggest a hike a bit more familiar to me so let's head to Brown County. The hike will start at Ogle Lake and we will do Trail 9 which is a steady climb up and back (some call it rugged) and Trail 8 (moderate). If we add Trail 7 (moderate), it would be about 8 miles total. Of course, those who want to leave after the first or second trail are welcome to do so since they all come back to the parking lot. And depending upon the interest level, we may or may not do Trail 7.
The cost to enter the park is $5 and I usually enter the park through the North Gate and follow the signs to Ogle Lake. I'll host the carpool on the Northeast Side at the 96th Street Kohls and those who want to meet at the Broad Ripple location, feel free to do so. Let's plan to meet at 10:00am to head to the park. It takes about an hour and 45 minutes to the Park from the Northeast side of Indy.
Please bring water to stay hydrated and light snacks. I'm not planning to stop for dinner afterwards however if enough people are interested and anyone has any recommendations, we can stop somewhere on the way home.
Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

The Broad Ripple car pool will be meeting at the west side of Broad Ripple High School (1115 Broad Ripple Avenue) in the free parking spots along Compton Street just south of Broad Ripple Avenue (this is not a parking lot--we park on the street and usually gather on the sidewalk under the tree near the cement bench). The best places to park are directly beside the high school between Broad Ripple Avenue and 62nd Street. I'm not sure who will be at the location but it's a regular carpool location.

Revere book discovered at BrownBreaking News
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Day after day, a tall, shy woman weaves her way unnoticed through the earnest and learned campus swirl of Brown University. She enters the hush of a library, then promptly vanishes from sight.
Down goes Marie Malchodi, 48, who attended but never graduated from Brown, down to the library's subterranean warrens, where she works as a "book conservation technician." She sweeps her long dark hair into a bun, pierces it with a paint brush, and starts her day, caring for ancient books and ephemera that are sensitive to the touch.
A few weeks ago, Ms. Malchodi opened yet another leather-bound book, one of more than 300,000 rare volumes in the hold of the John Hay Library. With surgical precision, she turned the pages of a medical text once owned by Solomon Drowne, Class of '73 (1773, that is.). And there, in the back, she found a piece of paper depicting the baptism of Jesus. It was signed:
"P. Revere Sculp."...

New guy, Park Pilot Mag Mitsubishi Zero
Hi everyone! This is my first post here at RC Groups. I just recently got back into model airplanes (after a 40 year break) with the purchase of a Cox Sky Cruiser, and I'm having a lot of fun with it . I've been participating some over at the Watt Flyer forum (same user name) - thought I'd check RC Groups out as well.
I started building a 24" span J3 cub from $tree foam (ongoing build thread over there), and while waiting for some parts to arrive I started on another one this afternoon - the Mitsubishi Zero from the Park Pilot Magazine website. Here it is after about three very lackadaisical hours:
This one caught my eye because it suggests on the plans that you can leave out the rudder and only do ailerons, and also because it's got a 30" wing span, which is sort of my ideal size. I'm going to depart from the plans a bit and make it so a single servo operates both ailerons.
I'm just loving this foam core and hot glue building technique! The phrase "down & dirty" comes to mind. Finishing has always been my weak suit

Basic airframe pretty much done, on to servos & linkages and stuff:
It's at 3.5 oz at this point. I left the paper on the board and covered both sides of everything with packing tape, then sealed the edges with hot glue. I embedded a 3/16" wood dowel in the bottom of the wing and hot glued it in, then laid a strip of fiber tape over that (bottom only). It seems pretty darn sturdy to me
Ordered a motor, esc, and a couple batteries from Hobby King yesterday (already got the receiver and servos).
This is fun

Slowly but surely...
The motor & stuff took a month to arrive from China and I went on vacation, and there's work, plus this other plane: http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67824
But the Zero is on the front burner now . I think I have everything required in house

Put in the RX & ESC this evening:
The battery is just sitting there - need to get the correct male plug to solder onto the esc., but testing with patch cables confirms that everything works. Last night I turned a prop adapter on the lathe. The prop is pressed against the adapter with the nut on the shaft, a steel washer, and an "O" ring to give some resistance. I dunno if that's standard practice or not, but it seems to me like it will work. The motor runs really smoothly and puts out plenty of thrust, as near as I can tell. The CG is coming out pretty much where the plans say it should - may need to add a bit of weight to the nose. I just need to make a horn and push rod for the elevator, and then we'll be pretty much ready for flight testing

It flies! Unfortunately my "hat cam" wouldn't turn on for me in the field so there is no video (the thing works fine now back at home...). Perfect conditions, no wind. I had someone else hand launch it for me but would have been fine doing it myself as it took off nice and true. Had the controls on low rate and just gently did 3 or 4 turns around the field. Got a little low downrange quite a ways and stalled - rather than try to recover I killed the throttle and let it nose into the tall grass. Broke the prop, didn't have a spare, so that was that.
But I'm encouraged - it flew quite nicely for those 2 or 3 minutes

Tried it again today. Put on a more aggressive prop (8x8 rather than the first 8x4) which seemed to give it a bit more thrust, which it needed. The thing is a bit much for my beginner piloting skills... First flight It kinda got away from me and I planted it in a tree behind the flight line It's tough though - fell out of the tree on it's own and suffered only minor dents in the wing leading edge.
The next flight I let another guy who I'd seen flying aerobatics earlier try it out. He did fine with it but thought that it was a little underpowered and a little "twitchy" - too much aileron authority, even with the rate switch set on "low". Certainly not a "trainer", according to him. If only I had spent a few more bucks and bought a computer radio instead of the DX5e that I *did* buy, apparently I could have adjusted this. But NO....
So I tried it a few more times but did a lot of walking to retrieve it from crash sites. The last time I plowed it in under power over the short grass and broke the shaft on the motor. The airframe is pretty darn sturdy, that's for sure.

I went through much of the same experience you described just now. I built something similar in style but out of home depot 1/2" foam called the Pink-51. Design wise, I found adding just a touch of dihedral makes the plane much easier to handle than a completely flat wing.
Anyhow, just my 2 cents
You should be able to come in closer to the centre on your ail. servo to lessen the control throw. Not so twitchy then. May do that on your elev. servo too if necessary.. This is my 28 in. $ store scratchbuilt from a couple of yrs. ago. Flies well. Anyone for combat. Getting a little beat up from it.

Crucial M550 128GB SSD Review
PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing, please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article; full instructions are included.
- Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.
With data on the drive, the M550 provides the highest level of performance when compared against the 128GB class drives that you can still purchase new today. This is an important metric that's rarely discussed.

343 Industries job listing hints at fresh Halo title
A Master Chief mystery in the making
343 INDUSTRIES apparently is building another Halo title, according to an internet rumour that has been ignited by a job listing.
343 Industries, which took over Halo from Bungie, has posted a job advert, that is for sure, and it does talk about Halo. It's fair to consider this indicative of work on a potential release.
The listing appears on Microsoft's jobs listings webpages. It was posted on 29 June and asks for a senior producer.
"343 Industries is looking for a Senior Producer to help develop a new project line in the Halo universe," it says. "This is your chance to work on one of the most exciting and creative intellectual properties in the industry with one of the industry's most talented teams."
We have not been light on Halo news recently, and 343 Industries not long ago announced the Halo: Master Chief Collection, a multi-disc, multi-version collection of the UNSC's stalwart's adventures that will run at 60fps frame rate.
The Master Chief boxed set will include some 100 levels of multiplayer action, and includes Halo versions from Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo 4. It will be out in mid-November. Predictably, pre-orders are already being taken.
The next full version of Halo, called Halo 5: Guardians will be out in 2015, and Microsoft is rather pleased about it. In May the firm said that Halo is not just a game, it is part of the Xbox platform.
"Halo isn't simply a perennial game franchise, it's a part of the Xbox platform itself. In terms of innovation and ideation, it's sometimes important to people who might not even play Halo," said 343 Industries GM Bonnie Ross. µ

New Secretary of State Parolin absent from today's official handover
The formal handover of power took place at 12 noon today in a brief ceremony held in the Vatican. But the new Secretary of State, Archbishop Pietro Parolin was not present. The reason he did not show was that he had to undergo" minor surgery" Francis said, adding that Bertone's successor would begin his duties officially "in a few weeks".
Francis and the Holy See preferred to keep the nature of the operation confidential. But Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi stressed that it was "not serious". The Holy See did not wish to reveal which hospital in Italy's Veneto region the former Nuncio to Venezuela had been admitted to and neither does it intend publish any medical reports in the next few days.
The ceremony was attended by Secretariat of State officials and ended with the Pope's farewell to Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. Bertone gave a speech recalling moments and highlights from his seven year tenure as Vatican "prime minister". Francis thanked him for his service to the Holy See and said it was his "Salesian priestly vocation which has signed [his] life" and his service as Secretary of State.
"We have gathered here to thank Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone who leaves his post as Secretary of State and to welcome Mgr. Parolin, but "in absentia" as he will begin his duties a few weeks late because of minor surgery he had to undergo," Francis said.
"Dear Cardinal Tarcisio, I think I speak for my predecessor Benedict XVI also when I extend to you my heartiest thanks for the work you have done over these past years. I see in you, above all, the son of Don Bosco. We are all marked by our history. Thinking of your long service to the Church, both in teaching and in the ministry of diocesan bishop and in your work in the Curia, up to your role as secretary of State, it seems to me that the uniting thread is made precisely of the priestly vocation … which has led you to fulfil all your duties … with deep love for the Church, great generosity, and with that typically Salesian mix that unites a sincere spirit of of obedience with a great freedom of initiative and personal inventiveness".
Francis then emphasised "the attitude of unconditional faithfulness and absolute loyalty to Peter, a distinctive characteristic of your mandate as Secretary of State, both in relation to Benedict XVI and to me during these months. I have been aware of this on many occasions and am profoundly grateful to you".
"And with these thoughts, we extend, in absentia, the most cordial welcome to the new secretary. He well knows the family of the secretariat of State, having worked there for many years with passion and competence and with his characteristic capacity for dialogue and negotiation. In a certain sense it will be like a homecoming", Pope Francis added.
In his own address, Bertone recalled some memorable moments from Ratzinger's pontificate and added: "Today I see in Pope Francis not so much a revolution but rather continuity from Pope Benedict XVI, although with differences in terms of accents and aspects of personal life. … Listening, tenderness, mercy, and confidence are outstanding features I have experienced with you. … And I cannot finish without underlining two expressions that reinforce this continuity: the gift of spontaneous and inspired counsel, and the common and fervent Marian devotion. There is no better image of the two Popes than that which juxtaposes the photographs of each one gathered in prayer before the statue of Our Lady of Fatima; Pope Benedict in Fatima, in the Year for Priests, 2010, and Pope Francis before the same image in Rome, in the Year of Faith, to place the entire Church in a state of penance and purification". "Thank you Pope Francis for your benevolence!" he said.

The novel opens in the psychiatric ward of the Clark County Detention Center (Las Vegas, NV). Accused murder Jane Charlotte explains to her psychiatrist that her alleged crime was authorized by a covert organization dedicated to crime prevention. Jane was an operative in the Department for the Final Disposition of Irredeemable Persons ("Bad Monkeys"), regularly dispatched to eliminated evildoers who eluded the justice system. Her life story revolves around this organization and its departments of Ubiquitous Intermittent Surveillance (Panopticon), Optimal Utilization of Resources and Personnel (Cost-Benefits), internal affairs (Malfeasance), and The Scary Clowns. She tells her story from childhood to date as her psychiatrist gently points out inconsistencies between her version and the official record.
The reader is left to question, "who is Jane Charlotte?" Ruff layers the story with basic questions of good vs. evil (characters named Wise, True, and Love all make appearances) as he leaves the reader with riddles upon riddles about the sarcastically funny Jane Charlotte. The author delivers a surprise ending worthy of a tale with this level of manic energy.
Visit author Matt Ruff's website to read the soundtrack of music he "listened to obsessively while writing this book."
Then I finished it.
To make a movie comparison, this is like the Matrix trilogy, where 2/3 (3/4 ?) through the story, all the interesting story arcs and subplots are abruptly dropped, and the story finished quickly in a bizarre, disjointed and unsatisfying manner.
After that, I'll leave it up to you to read this. And, if you enjoy an excellent read that illicits all sorts of comparrisons, from Palahniuk to Moore, then you'll enjoy this. It's unique, at least as far as books I've come across. And I can't think of a better thing to say about a book other than that it was an excellent read, and that it's unique.
Let me tell you of my experience the ten minutes after finishing the book: nearly crying, I searched through the remaining (blank) pages, convinced that this was some sort of joke, that the real ending was sure to come. The final twist was a baseless, cliched character-destroying move that had me crying, "Matt Ruff, what are you thinking?!"
In the end, I had to write a new ending and tape it to the back of the book to put my broken heart to rest.
'Course, the book was still amazing. Until it ended. Read it, PLEASE read it, but just stop at the point I mentioned earlier. Please.

Katy Perry's Ultimate Birthday Wish Comes True: Lunch With MObama
Katy Perry is getting serious. Aside from the fact that the pop singer is ditching outfits with whirring/moving parts, she's also been getting rather political lately, making a very clear statement in an actual election ballot dress at a Las Vegas rally. It looks like her recent political activism paid off: K.P. spent her birthday lunching with her new favorite first lady, Michelle Obama.
The singer tweeted a photo yesterday of her and the FLOTUS, adding, "NOW my bday is complete! Lunch with @MichelleObama #chicvote." That's certainly one way to get the birthday festivities rolling.
Perhaps MObama then felt compelled to fulfill Perry's "Teenage Dream" after all that support. One thing is certain: They both look pretty stoked, and nervous, to be in each other's presence.

Skip to comments.'Fox & Friends' mistreats Elijah Cummings on IRS emails story
Posted on 04/19/2014 9:40:24 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
As I watched Tuesday while the anchors on Fox & Friends leveled unsubstantiated charges against Rep. Elijah Cummings as if they were facts, I couldnt help thinking how much more dangerous Sen. Joe McCarthy might have been in the 1950s if there had been a show like this to amplify his reckless allegations.
The Fox News morning show was playing one of cable talks dirtier games, and the longtime Democratic congressman from Baltimore was its target for his role in the House IRS probe. The lightweight, smiley morning crew Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were saying things no responsible anchors would. They were the kind of things that could seriously damage the reputation of an ideological foe.
(Excerpt) Read more at touch.baltimoresun.com ...
By the way, I saw the interview he wrote about. Cummings was NOT mistreated.
it is almost unbelievable that anyone would defend this shameless lying shill fore the corrupt Obama regime , Elijah Cummings . God , please send down another firey chariot and remove that bum from our midst . ( UAV)
Problem with the article is Old Joe was correct, and the left smeared him....
Very very tiny violin I hear in the distance playing: I don't care....
The liberal (actually leftist) journalists will be fine with Obama targeting journalists as long as only conservative journalists are the targets. He'd have to go after leftist journalists for them to raise any objection.
Aren't double standards great? If the left didn't have them, they'd have no standards at all.
I wonder if this guy would like even odds on a thousand dollar bet that an impartial inquiry, if such a thing were possible, will show Elijah Cummings guilty as not-yet-charged.
"Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were saying things no responsible anchors would."
They are NOT 'anchors." They are morning talk show hosts.
Sheesh. . .
Regardless of this situation, Joe McCarthy was proven correct!
Hypocrites, one and all.
This dopey reporter is dead wrong about Corrupt-oCrat Elijah Cummings
Do you mean that Cummings has given up an Sadism and "S & M " ?
I thought he was a Demorat, argueing "against truth , justice, and the American way" ?
He should be used to it ,.. as he has conducted lies in Congress committies for the last few years ,
and has been the apologist for the administration .
Don't bother trying to deny it.
That's the scam
"When did you stop beating your wife!!" Screams the Inquisitor.
Obviously, sir, you are a RACIST for criticizing poor 'Lijah!
Now give us you're money and slink back into your corner, you evil doer you.
Don't fall for it.
.... This statement is actually proof that the media elite are absolutely totally unaware that this is what these hearings are all about!!! These investigations are all about the targeting of everybody and all things conservative or connected to the "Tea Party." It IS the new McCarthyism of today. The new litmus question is "Are you ... or have you ever been a member of the Tea Party."
No surprise here...Democrats never turn on other democrats.
There is no such word as DINO in democrat vocabulary.
........hard at work....defending their right to be tyrants
We should not be confusing them with facts.
It's an art form.
It's an art form.
Is it just me, or should there have been a barf alert attached to this sob story about poor ol' Elijah gettin' mistreated by FNC? I wish I'd seen that. I didn't know FNC had anyone with the stones to mistreat ANY democRAT.
After just four days of reporting and fact-checking the story, I dont pretend to know all the facts. Overall, I am in no position to say whether Cummings behaved ethically.
But I do know there is no evidence that has been produced at this point for the accusations leveled against him as fact on Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning. I also know there was evidence available to Fox & Friends that Cummings staff could not have flagged True The Vote for the IRS.
He and the Democrat party are just smarting ( hurting ) from being caught with their hand in the cookie jar, that's all this is.... Elijah getting caught being one of those individuals who had a part in going after conservative group with the IRS.
You now know just how far our country has fallen after reading this. One does hardly know where to start the criticism. Here's the reason why this country will fail because "the people" like this idiot now approximate the majority & a nation is only as good or bad as its people.
If the internet had existed then, maybe the truth
would have gotten out and we wouldn't be in the
mess we are today.
Joe was vindicated by Vernona.
There is also no evidence that has been produced at this point that shows that President Bush lied about WMD. Yet that hasn't stopped Zurawik from insisting for a decade now that Bush lied. Ah, the Double-Standard of the Self-Anointed rears its ugly head once again.
Think pelosi's unsubstantiated charges against all republicans that they want the poor to remain poor, and who would be for amnesty if it were for "the Irish," or Reid and his "domestic terrorists."
Hard to feel sorry for Cummings, whose corruption has been on display for some time now.
yep , any lying scum will do .....
I stopped reading at the part that said "Baltimore Sun."
" actually shows is Cummings staffers asking for publicly available information on True The Vote. That would be information available to anyone.
And the emails from the IRS show that executives there triple-checked to make sure only such information was included."
Is this true? Still, even if publicly available, he still could have been pointing the finger!
I'll wager The Baltimore Sun would be safe from the dragnet.
"I don't know nuttin."
ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL One of the Articles of Impeachment drawn up against Richard Nixon was merely "threatening" to use the Internal Revenue Service to selectively audit political opponents.
OBAMA HAS WEAPONIZED THE IRS AGAINST POLITICAL OPPONENTS ordering multiple covert campaigns of intimidation, threats, and persecution of tea party/conservative organizations, and those daring to criticize Obama's agenda.
<><> Seven lock-stepping Democrats scared-***tless of losing their seats ask the IRS to Investigate political opponents,
<><> Rep Elijah Cummings led the Democrat pack in smearing True the Vote patriot Catherine Englebrecht....
<><> the FBI, ATF, the IRS, and OSHA were sicced on Catherine Englebrecht, as she valiantly tried to improve the US voting system.
<><> Obama said Tea Parties were a "threat to democracy."
<><> The IRS (a tax-funded L/E agency) takes its marching orders from Democrat;
order IRS to act to save their seats by Alexander Bolton, The Hill, 2/13/14
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the IRS to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races. In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly.
Dems are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but theyre concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly.
One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle. If theyre claiming the tax relief, the tax benefit to be a nonprofit for social relief or social justice, then thats what they should be doing, said Sen. Mark Begich (D), who faces a competitive race in Alaska. If its to give them cover so they can do political activity, thats abusing the tax code. And either side."
<><><><>Asked if the IRS should play a more active role policing political advocacy by groups that claim to be focused on social welfare, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) responded, Absolutely. Both on the left and the right, she said. As taxpayers, we should not be providing a write-off to groups to do political activity, and thats exactly what were doing.
Shaheen called the glut of political spending by self-described social welfare groups that qualify under section 501(c) (4) of the tax code outrageous. Shaheen is in a good position now but could find herself embroiled in a tight campaign if former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass) challenges her.<><><><>
Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent, said the IRS has jurisdiction over 501(c)(4) groups, as well as charities, which fall under section 5/01(c)(3) of the tax code and sometimes engage in quasi-political activity.
That whole 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) [issue], those are IRS numbers. It is inherently an internal revenue matter, he said. There are two things you dont want in political money, in the fundraising world and expenditure world. You dont want secret money, and you dont want unlimited money, and thats what we have now. --SNIP-- /////NOTE: I believe the Congressional "Sergeant-at-Arms" also has arrest powers....under certain conditions.
--SNIP--The House Ways and Means Committee Republicans have not ruled out its inherent contempt authority to arrest former IRS chief Lois Lerner if Eric Holder continues to refuse to act on the panels vote to seek an investigation of Lerner and her role in the IRS targeting scandal.
The Washington Examiner reports, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) spoke about the committees threat to hold Lerner in contempt: "The Ways and Means Committee, led by Chairman [Dave] Camp [R-Mich.], has conducted a serious and thorough investigation of the IRS, uncovering abuses and criminal acts that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
"As I've said, if Lois Lerner continues to refuse to testify, then the House will hold her in contempt. And we will continue to shine the light on the administration's abusive actions and use every tool at our disposal to expose the truth and ensure the American people get the answers they deserve."
The constitutional inherent contempt authority gives the House power to hold Lerner until a new Congress is convened in January 2015, which could then renew the subpoena if she continues to refuse to testify, though Republicans are not emphasizing that option.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) told The Washington Examiner, "I think we'll deal with that, should that occur, but I think this too is an ongoing investigation, and, frankly, for the attorney general to turn a blind eye to this evidence would discredit him greatly.

Mc Carthy was 100% right, Cummings is a lying, communist, piece of shit!
The Baltimore Sun is pretty much a completely worthless rag. It is, de facto, a propaganda arm of the VERY progressive, leftist DimocRATS running the People's Republic of Maryland.
In Maryland, the only way I can get any newspaper not completely dishonest and leftist is through my subscription to the Wall Street Journal.
Yeah? Fast-forward 60 years. Newsflash: McCarthy was RIGHT!
Let's look at the number of people that were "mistreated" by Cummings and then we will talk.
"If Cummings wanted publicly available information why would he be asking the IRS for it in an email?"
Could it be "publicly available" but only by going through the irs? I have no idea, but cummings is disgusting!

Passthrough adapters are mounted in holes of panels to provide passageways through which electric or optical cables can pass, or at which connections can be made. A common type of adapter includes a tube that is inserted into a hole in the panel, the tube having a flange which abuts the front face of the panel and having a thread. The thread receives a nut that presses a washer against the rear face of the panel. In many panel applications, there is very little room around the adapter for applying a wrench to the nut to tighten it. If an adapter could be installed without requiring a wrench or other tool to lie closely around it, especially if the adapter could be installed by merely pushing it into the hole until it snapped into place, this would provide a more easily used adapter. The adapter should be of low cost and able to securely mount in panels of a range of thicknesses.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, applicant provides an adapter for mounting in a panel hole, which can be constructed at low cost and which can be easily installed. The adapter includes an elongated passthrough and a molded plastic clip which is mounted on the passthrough and which holds the passthrough in the panel hole. The clip has a front end with a washer to abut the front face of the panel, and has a sleeve extending through and rearward of the panel. The sleeve has at least one largely U-shaped slit, with the base of the slit lying most forward, to leave a latch having a rear latch end merging with the rest of the sleeve and a free front latch end lying slightly rearward of the washer and abutting the rear face of the panel.
The washer has a concave rear face, to allow the washer to provide spring bias that biases the latches forwardly against the panel rear face. The passthrough has an annular groove and the clip has an inward flange that projects radially inwardly into the groove to hold the clip onto the passthrough. The passthrough has a recess into which latches can be radially inwardly deflected, during insertion of the adapter rearwardly through a hole in the panel. Each latch preferably has a stepped forward end, with a first abutment surface for abutting thin panels and with a second abutment surface lying rearward and radially outward of the first abutment surface, for abutting the rear face of a thicker panel.
The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention will be best understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front isometric view of an adapter mounted on a panel, and showing a connector that can be mated to one end of the adapter.
FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view of the adapter of FIG. 1, showing the passthrough and the clip.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the adapter and panel of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a rear isometric view of the clip of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the clip of FIG. 4.
FIG. 1 illustrates an assembly 10 of an adapter 12 on a panel 14. The adapter includes a passthrough 16 and a clip 18. The adapter passes through a hole in the panel, with another identical panel hole being shown at 20. The figure also shows a connector 22 which can be mated to a rear end 24 of the adapter passthrough, with the passthrough having a similar front end 26. The panel is formed by punching holes such as 20 in it. An adapter 12 is installed by moving it in a rearward direction R into a panel hole, along an axis 30 of the hole and adapter, an arrow F indicating the opposite forward direction.
As shown in FIG. 3, the clip 18 has a front end 40 with a radially outwardly projecting flange 42 that forms a washer that substantially abuts the front face 44 of the panel. The clip also includes a sleeve 46 extending rearwardly from the washer and having a rear end 50 that closely surrounds a location 52 on the passthrough. As indicated in FIG. 2, the sleeve has at least one U-shaped slit 54 with the base 56 of the slit lying most forward, and with sides 58, 60 of the slit extending rearwardly from the base. The slit 50 leaves a latch 62. Actually, the sleeve has two slits 54, 64 that leave two latches 62, 66. FIG. 3 shows the latches 62, 66 abutting the rear face 70 of the panel.
The clip has an inward flange 72 that is received in an annular groove 74 of the passthrough, to serve as a mount to hold the clip on the passthrough. The passthrough has a recessed portion 76 lying rearward of the groove and radially within the latches 62, 66. The adapter 12 is installed by moving it in the rearward direction R through the panel hole 20, and during such movement the latches 62, 66 are radially inwardly depressed into the recessed portion 76. After the latches pass rearwardly of the panel, they spring out to the positions shown.
Each latch has a plurality of steps 78 with forwardly-facing abutment surfaces 80, 82, and 84. The second surface 82 lies rearward and radially outward of the first surface 80, while the third surface 84 lies rearward and radially outward of the second surface 82. For a relatively thin panel shown in FIG. 3, the abutment surface 80 will pass the panel rear face 70 and will spring to the position shown. FIG. 3 also shows, in phantom lines at 70A, the rear face of a thicker panel. In that case, when the adapter is fully inserted into the hole, the second abutment surface at 82A will abut the panel rear face. In that case, a radially outward surface 90 will lie in the flange hole 20. For a panel of still greater thickness, the third abutment surface 84 will abut the panel rear face. Of course, the thickness of the panel includes any coating that may be applied to its faces.
It is desirable that the adapter lie in a fixed position in the panel and not "rattle" around in it. To this end, the flange 42 which forms a washer, is formed with a concave rear face 92. This allows the washer to serve as a spring that biases the latches 62, 66 in a forward direction F while allowing them to be deflected rearwardly. The result is that an abutment surface such as 80 will tend to press firmly against the panel rear face.
As shown in FIG. 4, the clip 18 has a radially-extending slot 100 and an axially extending slot 102. The slots 100, 102 permit the clip to "open" to enable it to be mounted on the passthrough (by the inward flange 72 being received in the passthrough groove). Applicant prefers to provide a second slot 104 on a radially opposite side of the sleeve, which results in a pair of sleeve parts 110, 112 that are separated by the slots 102, 104. This allows the rear end 50 of the sleeve to bear against the passthrough, and allows the latches to lie symmetrically on opposite sides of the adapter and clip axis 30. For each sleeve part such as the upper one 110, the sleeve part has a pair of legs 114, 116 extending rearwardly from the washer 42, with the latches 62, 66 having rear ends 120 mounted on rear ends 122 of the legs, and with the latches having front ends 124 lying rearward of the washer and being resiliently biased to a position far enough from the axis to abut the rear face of the panel.
It may be noted that the portion of the sleeve which lies in the panel hole is rounded, except at flat parts 130. The flat parts 130 can abut flat sides of a panel hole. As shown in FIG. 1, the panel hole 20 is round, except for flat sides at 132. Since the sleeve tends to expand, the provision of flat sides at 130 causes these flat sides to abut the panel hole flat sides 132 and resist turning of the adapter within the panel. It may be noted in FIG. 2, that applicant prefers to construct the passthrough with webs 140, 142 on diametrically opposite sides of the recessed portion 76 and of the annular groove 74 to strengthen the narrow middle of the passthrough.
The passthrough 16 illustrated is formed of metal, although where allowable, it can be formed of molded plastic. The clip 18 is a molded plastic part. It would be possible to form the clip with a single latch, or with three or more latches of the construction shown, although applicant prefers two latches to provide symmetry, with each latch outer surface 90 preferably being curved to provide a large area where an abutment surface such as 80 presses against the rear face 70 of the panel.
Thus, the invention provides an adapter which can be easily installed on a panel or other plate without a wrench or the like and which holds securely in place, in a relatively low cost construction. The adapter includes a passthrough that extends substantially through the panel hole and a molded plastic clip which holds the passthrough in position. The clip includes a washer that substantially abuts the front face of the panel and a sleeve extending through and rearwardly of the panel hole and that forms at least one and preferably two latches with free front ends forming abutment surfaces to abut the rear face of the panel. The latches can be formed by largely U-shaped slits in the sleeve. The washer preferably has a concave face and is deflectable, so the washer provides a forward spring bias. The latches have front ends with steps forming a plurality of abutment surfaces to abut panels of a range of thicknesses. At least one side of the sleeve can be flattened to prevent turning in a panel hole that has a flat side. The passthrough preferably has a recess which receives the front ends of the latches during their rearward movement through the panel hole.
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated herein, it is recognized that modifications and variations may readily occur to those skilled in the art, and consequently, it is intended that the claims be interpreted to cover such modifications and equivalents.

(Comstock Park, MI) - Luigi Rodriguez hit a two run homer and Eric Haase hit a solo shot in the ninth inning to power the Lake County Captains (6-12) past the West Michigan Whitecaps (7-9) on Tuesday afternoon by a final of 8-5. The two run homerun by Rodriguez put the Captains up 7-4 and two batters later Haase made it 8-4. Both players hit their first homer of the season.
Lake County scored three runs in the third inning to take a 3-0 lead. Dorssys Paulino singled home a run and two batters later Nellie Rodriguez doubled to left field and two more Captains touched home plate and the score was 3-0.
In the fifth, West Michigan scored four runs to take a one run lead. Danry Vazquez had the big hit in the inning a two run double to tie the game at 3-3. Devon Travis followed with a sac fly and it was 4-3 Whitecaps.
Lake County took the lead in the eighth inning. The Captains had runners on second and third with one out. Erik Gonzalez lined a double down the left field line and both runners came across to score. Lake County led by one run at 5-4. That was until the ninth inning, when the Captains used the two homers to take a 8-4 lead. In the bottom of the ninth Jake Stewart of the Whitecaps tripled and came around to score on a ground out. That was the final run. The score was 8-5.
The Captains sent LHP Ryan Merritt (1-2) to the hill. Merritt did not get a decision. He went five and two thirds innings allowing seven hits, four earned runs, one walk and five strikeouts. Michael People worked two and one third innings in relief. Peoples (1-0) got the win. Louis Head pitched the ninth inning for Lake County.
West Michigan started the RHP Endrys Briceno (0-1) to the mound for a start. Brienco did not get a decision. He pitched five innings allowing four hits three earned runs three walks and three strikeouts. Angel Nesbitt took the loss. Nesbitt (0-1) allowed six hits, five earned runs, and only fanned one.
The Captains and Whitecaps will play game three of a three game series on Wednesday afternoon. Lake County will send the RHP Joe Colon (0-0, 3.59) to the hill to square off against RHP Edgar De La Rosa (1-0, 5.87) for West Michigan. First pitch is at Noon.

10000K is great!! By A. grandis on 11/28/2015A. grandis would recommend this product to a friendI think this one, the 10000K is actually better than the 14000K called New generation.
Better color and growth than the other. I've tried both.
I like AquaticLife bulbs also. Their 10000K is the best ever!!
Hope BulkReefSupply could bring their line here! The only draw back is that their bulbs are made in China now. Before the bulbs were from Germany. But I'm not sure if there is any major difference though. The color is the same to our eyes and the growth the same also.
Keep zoaing!!!

The "Koch-sperts" must have had a hand in the creation of the RNC Platform, because the list of ALEC-approved policies in the platform is stunning.
The Republican platform eviscerates the "hard working American," denying workers of their right to unionize while targeting vulnerable communities.
Robert Greenwald, president of Brave New Foundation and producer/director of Koch Brothers Exposed, recently launched a blog about the country's notorious one percenter brothers.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

We offer the best wine tours in Kelowna from March through October, but we do provide off-season wine tours from mid October to mid December, too. Allow us to drive you around wineries while you concentrate on the tasting. Book a wine tour in our website now.
Known for its beautiful vineyards, the Okanagan Valley produces top-quality wines that frequently win both national and international competitions. The region's combination of fresh air, lakes, mountains, and intense sunlight make it an ideal paradise for producing world-class wines. Now you can experience the area's splendor by signing up for the best wine tours in Kelowna.
There are more than 30 wineries in Kelowna alone, plus more than 200 wineries in the Okanagan Valley region. This sun-drenched part of the country is surrounded by farm-gate wineries as well, where vintages are still bottled by hand. Most wineries allow wine tours and tasting. A typical wine tour can last anywhere from 20 minutes to about one hour, depending on rules of the winery. Delicious food is often available, from gourmet cuisine made from the freshet local ingredients to tapas-style fare as well as fruit and cheese platters served either on patios or indoors, most of which offer spectacular valley and lake views.
Discover Okanagan offers daily wine tours and tastings from March to October. Off season wine tours also run from mid-October to mid-December (please inquire). We have chosen some of the best wineries to bring you to, and the selection encompasses large estate wineries as well as smaller family-owned vineyards. No wonder we have been described as the provider of the best wine tours in Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley. Call us now at 1-800-797-6335 to treat yourself. Taste the region's finest bottles and enjoy a first-hand experience of winemaking. You don't have to worry about driving home, so you can sample wines to your heart's content.
