MAA Found Math for the Week of October 29, 2012
MAA Found Math:
Tom Leathrum does it again with this year's mathematical pumpkin "buckypumpkin". He wrote:
"buckypumpkin" represents a C60buckminsterfullerene molecule. The molecule, popularly called a "buckyball," takes the form of a truncated icosahedron. The discoverers of the C60 form of carbon named the molecule after architech Buckminster Fuller, who made use of geodesic dome shapes in his work. The 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the scientists who discovered the process for synthesizing this form of carbon, and variations on it (such as "buckytubes").
On the pumpkin, the locations of the carbon atoms are represented by holes drilled completely through the pumpkin flesh at the verteces of the truncated icosahedron, and the carbon-carbon bonds are represented by lines cut only part of the way through the flesh, with double bonds indicated by double lines. Ordinarily, a truncated icosahedron would be most familiar as the shape of a traditional soccer ball (sewn together from black pentagonal patches and white hexagonal patches). The pattern goes all the way around the pumpkin.

Unemployment Benefits and Labour Market Transitions in Britain
Recent evidence suggests that unemployment benefit recipients search more extensively than non-recipients. It is conceivable that benefit claimants, looking for work in a more formal search environment, enjoy an informational advantage relative to non-claimants. This paper examines how such an effect could influence the probability of leaving unemployment, utilising data drawn from a matched sub-sample of the 1983 and 1984 Labour Force Surveys. Studies which neglect the claimant/non-claimant dichotomy may bias the true impact of the benefit system on transitions, since they also neglect this informational asymmetry. Utilising a general Markovian framework, multinomial logistic regressions of individual annual transition probabilities from unemployment into employment and inactivity are estimated. Benefit receipt has a small positive influence on the likelihood of employment entry amongst those most at risk from labour force exit- women and the long-term unemployed. The main benefit impact however, is to maintain a higher effective labour supply.

«Likely, had the author been alive to supervise the screen-writing, it might have been a drastically different film. Possibly, the Japanese audience's familiarity with their own literary history provided the insights into the characters that my own cultural heritage could not. Maybe I should have merely appreciated the tragedy of the lover's ruin for the consumptive spectacle it was; it's not like I haven't loved other doomed romances in the past - Kathy and Heathcliffe, Chocho-san and B.F. Pinkerton, Violetta and Alfredo, Gennosuke and Oboro - but for me Kiyoaki and Satoko's possible fated reincarnation in the next life couldn't come soon enough.»
«As the wickedly contrary Kiyoaki, Tsumabuki gives a precise performance, while Takeuchi skillfully avoids overplaying her hand as the lovestruck heroine. Supports are impressive.A "planning" credit to the original author's son, Iichiro, indicates the Mishima family still has a controlling interest in the late writer's affairs. Accordingly, yarn's the subtext of a gay love between Kiyoaki and Shigekuni will be invisible to auds unfamiliar with the novel. Sublime score by Taro Iwashiro is well-suited to the drama, but the end credits are backed by an anachronistic contempo song by J-popster Hikaru Utada.»

Ancient Rocks On The Shore.
(c)17/10/2009.By Poetlife.
Rock pools by the ocean side,
Surrounded on all sides,
I can sit and be caressed
Oceans currents, waves
You appear, dis-appear
In shifting sands of time.
I love to see your
Ancient face.
Come share your
Textures, tones of grey.
I feel in awe of your beauty, strength.
You remain
Tell your tale,
With all life
Endless, timeless
You remain.
Did Captian Cook and crew,
Stand on your shores,
Rest on ancient rocks.
Wipe a tired brow.
I am told they sailed by this place,
Did they come ashore
Trace the beauty
Your ancient face.

Skip to comments.Newly independent ConocoPhillips will expand in North America, CEO says
Posted on 05/10/2012 5:31:38 AM PDT by thackney
In ConocoPhillips first shareholders meting since it unhitched its refinery business, new CEO Ryan Lance said hes focused on further expanding the companys position in North American shale and other unconventional fossil fuels.
Much of the $15 billion Lance plans to funnel into capital spending each year will target oil and natural gas operations in the United States and Canada. The Eagle Ford shale in south Texas, the Permian Basin in West Texas and the Bakken shale in North Dakota will be growth priorities, he said.
With the land ownership and the infrastructure that we have in the United States, it allows our company to secure a position and start developing and rapidly exploiting the assets, Lance said in a press conference following the shareholders meeting. We are putting a significant amount of our capital investment in that area and generating very high returns.
Lance takes the helm at the newly independent oil and gas exploration and production company with ambitious goals to expand production and maintain high dividends. Last week, ConocoPhillips refineries, pipelines and chemical plants spun off to form a separate company, Phillips 66.
The global oil and natural gas corporation currently produces about 1.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day and plans to grow to 1.8 million by 2016, Lance told shareholders.
However, growth in North America will come from crude oil and natural gas liquids.
ConocoPhillips has scaled back its investment in dry natural gas, or methane, as the fuels domestic price has plummeted in recent months.
North American natural gas makes up about 24 percent of the companys portfolio and Lance said its share will decline. However, Lance said he believes growing use of natural gas in power generation, to replace coal, will reignite demand for the fuel. The company is holding on to acreage in gassy areas so it can restart production if prices rebound.
You dont invest in North American natural gas today given the price, Lance said. But we do believe over the longer term, demand will pick u, prices will improve and then we have the optimality to start reinvesting in that business and ramping up the growth.
If we don't get rid of 0bummer in November, it'll all be a moot point anyway for CP and everyone else. There'll be no exploration or drilling anywhere - it'll all be shut-down - if he/they get another 4yrs.
Nor was Colorado, since we have new and ridiculously expensive fracking regulations, thanks to our governor. He was a geologist, so he should know better. Sigh...
Some people like to say Obama did that and some people say Bush did that. The reality is that whatever Bush and/or Obama did or didn't do were merely incidental.
The increase in oil production came about because of two things.
1. Development of high pressure fracing technology
2. Quadrupling of the price of oil from $25/bbl to $100/bbl
Likewise look at the bitumen oil being produced in the Alberta tar sands. When Bush entered office and oil was at $25, the profit on that oil was marginal. As the price and margin gradually increased, oil sands production gradually increased. Now at $100 they are producing so much bitumen oil they need a pipeline.
Now let me connect the dots for you.
The new pipeline to the gulf coast and the new natural gas export terminals on the gulf coast are tied to the completion of the expansion of the panama canal so these products can easily get into the Pacific and onto Asia.
Europe is closer and very interested in sources other than Russia and OPEC.
OTOH, Cheinere is already diverting their imported gas to Europe.
The gulf coast doesn't have a lock on the asian market. Alaska wants part of it. Canada wants to get their natural gas to the pacific, possibly to WA since they have announced an export terminal there.
I don't see our export volume in petroleum to be significant over the next couple decades.
In LNG export, competing with Russia and Australia along with transportation distance will keep Europe as a more profitable customer.
What percentage of this company is owned by Venezuela and Hugo Chavez????
ConocoPhillips? Mostly mutual funds and retirement plans.
CONOCO Phillips is number 5 on the Forbes 500 that was just released.
That might be part of the reason that Obama has opposed the Keystone Pipeline. He wants to see the oil go to China, not Europe, or even our own East Coast, which is becoming more and more dependent on Russian oil, as US refineries shut down at a rapid pace on the East Coast. I hear that Luk oil is now the most common gas station in the Philadelphia area, a city that has had several refineries since the mid 19th century.
As for oil/gasoline/diesel, that depends on whether EVs/hybrids penetrate the market or gasoline/diesel is the route. We are exporting record amounts of gasoline and diesel. Or, the rising CAFE standards could be relaxed. Or, methane hydrate technology could be around the corner
Was the Forbes list based upon size prior to split?
It like was as the official spin off of refining was May 1, 2012.
Yes, we finally reached our WW2 amounts last year.
http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MGFEXUS2&f=M Yes, keep in mind that net export is based upon our import of surplus oil as well as surplus refining capacity.
You speak of a lot of different possible changes. I agree that this market is very hard to predict and can be greatly influenced by many different source.
My original comment to you was based on my opinion I didn't consider the Panama Canal expansion significant to the decision of other projects, particular pipeline or LNG export.
I imagine that it was before the split, but the thinking is that the split is very good for the upstream and not so good for the down stream people. Interestingly, one of companies that have expressed an interest in buying one of the CONOCO Phillips refineries is Walmart. Wouldn't that set the leftists off in a tizzy? Imagine Walmart, not only selling gas, but refining their own gasoline.
BP has been trying to get out of the downstream end of the business for years but hasn't been able to sell the refineries. Most of the oil companies would like to do the same thing.
A Canadian company owns the Race Trac stations in Tx, Ok, and Ar. Kuwait owns the Q8 stations in Europe. Alon Energy the Iraeli Company owns all the gas stations previously owned by Fina and Total(foreign companies) in Texas and OK. Alon also bought refinery in Big Springs which was owned by Fina who bought that refiney from the old Cosden Oil company
I still remember that for many years Fina stations and Total stations were cheapest place to buy gas in DFW, but when Alon took those stations over the price went up, and Race Trac moved into that area and became the cheapest.
I also remember 1998 when, because the asian economy nose dived, the world price of oil collapsed from $25 to $12 and you could buy gasoline for 65 cents per gallon in DFW.
I also remember how the price of crude and gasoline increased in the oughties until I was paying $3.97 a gallon in June 2008. Then the economy began to collapse and oil and gasoline prices collapsed. Crude fell to $44/barrel and I paid $1.63 per gallon in Dec 2008. Of course the economy gradually improved from that point and oil/gasoline went back up
I understand, we will just have to disgree, but I promise not to call you a RINO, globalist, or any other perjorative term.
I think that Alon might be the name of the company that just bought one of the Conoco Refineries, along with a pipeline. I had never heard of them. Part of the push to divest the refineries is because of the Obama administration war on big oil. It's difficult to bring aging refineries up to current standards. Think about it, some of those refineries in Philadelphia had been on the same site since 1860 something.
I just read that Delta Airlines bought the old Conoco Refinery at Marcus Hook, which I believe used to be SUNOCO.
Sorry, that was bad information about ALON.
Delta Airlines did buy the Marcus Hook refinery, though and there is another deal close for the SUN refinery in Philadelphia that would keep that refinery on-line.
The investors are all crying the blues over the new players in the refining industry. It seems that they are all worried that increased refining capacity will decrease profit margins and throw a curve ball into the futures market.
New players in the refining business could really change the industry, players like Delta, refining their own fuel for themselves and all their partners. They got the refinery for a very low price, too. Walmart refining their own gas would be a big deal, as well.
Marathon spun off their refining about a year or so.
On the surface it was very simple, a new plant(new source) is held to a higher enviro standard. But when there were expansions and updating it was all very unclear. Consequently, it was in and out of court so many times it is hard to keep up with. And having different presidents thru out the period made even more complicated. Because of this we see industry not building new refineries but expanding the size of their refineries and expanding their refineries as part of scheduled maintainance.
Eventually, in 2007, SCOTUS made what was considered the final decision regarding New Source Review. Everything was resolved. But Prez Bush didn't want to be the one to enforce it so he punted it next prez. He knew the enviros wouldn't sue him because he would be out of office before the case got to court.
Different companies handled it different ways. Some moved immediately to conform. Some waited until the next prez began to enforce. So when Obama comes in he can't move on New Source Review because Congress is taking up Cap and Trade and his EPA has to deal with CO2 first. But eventually he got around to it in 2010 and everyone is in the process of conforming, except Texas.
In Texas they knew in 2007 that they would be out of conformance when the feds got around to enforcing it, who ever the new prez might be in 2009. But in Texas they wanted to use it as a campaign issue against dem Houston mayor White who they knew would be running for Gov against Perry in 2010. So when Perry won the election Nov 2010 everyone thought that Texas would move to get in conformance, but Perry jumped even harder on the issue in Dec 2010, so everyone knew Perry would be running for Prez even though he didn't declare until the following August.
Anyway, Texas has the case tied up in court and they know that they will ultimately lose in court but they might be able to delay it for who knows how long. And that is irrelevant because almost all of the companies that Perry is supposedly protecting from the EPA have gone around Perry to deal directly with the EPA to get their permits in order. Even the infamously evil Koch Brothers refinery went around Perry to deal directly with EPA.
Its all politics as usual and the GOP is blowing smoke up your rearenski.
So any way, over time and thru various court decisions issue was gradually
The oil companies didn't need to go around Perry to bring their refineries into compliance. Perry was not trying to stop the refineries from voluntarily improving standards of protection. Many of the refineries were truly in need of improvement and the oil companies knew it. It was better to comply willingly than to wait for a disaster like the one at BP.
Who did Marathon sell their refineries, to?
They did the same thing as ConocoPhillips. They did not sell them to someone else; they spun them off as a separate company to sink or swim on their own.
They are now Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) and Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC). They are separate stocks with 100% separate employees and management.
BF, I'd bet that 90%+ don't know those facts. I'd also bet that if 0bummer gets another 4yrs, he's going to direct the corrupt and criminal EPA - if he hasn't already - to find a way to slow fracking way down or kill it completely, with either new BS regs, taxes, add'l permits; whatever.

Key phrase is "some will be unable" which infers that some will be able to transit. However I don't know how many "some" is nor do I know how many ULCC's there are or how many there are relative to other tankers
I like the EIA as a petroleum information source.
But without dimensions to reference, I have doubts about those very general statements.
Can you find a tanker with 100,000 DWT or larger with a draft at 15.2 or less meters?
It seems they are all in the +20 meter range.
As for ULCC, there are not very many in the world. None of them will fit through the new Panama Locks.
On the list above of the world's supertankers, including those now out of service, the smallest is the S.R Long Beach at 214,862 dwt. It had a draft of 19.7 meters.
I found the Prince William Sound with one of the shallowest drafts of 16.8 meters for 125,925 dwt.
Can you find any supertanker, or any tanker of at least 100,000 dwt, that has a draft at 15.2 m or less?
Price of gas in Alaska jumped .12 a gallon yesterday, its now $4.37 a gallon.
Fueled my truck at 5am it was $4.25, later in the day its up by 12 cents a gallon. Something is happening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Admin from Sherbert Striped Fleece Robe I absolutely love, love, love this robe! This is my "go to" every evening when I get home from work! It is very cozy, but not heavy or too hot. I am 5'1 ~145lbs. I ordered a "large". It is the perfect length, about 2 inches off the floor. It unzips low enough I can just step in or out of it. The sleeves are a little longer than 3/4, which is perfect for me. I have washed it once. It came out of the dryer looking like it just came out of the package. I highly recommend this robe. Hopefully, I will find a spring/summer robe in the Vermont catalog that I like as well as I do my winter robe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gamma of 7 from Just Enough Warmth This robe is not only beautiful to look at, it is very comfortable for the cold mornings or evenings. It is warm without being heavy or itchy. The fabric is very soft. My son-in-law wondered if he should call me Josephine - in my robe of many colors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by credithelper from Soft and Pretty But Zipper Needs Improvement This is a soft and cuddly robe. The colors are beautiful pastels. It is comfortable and warm. BUT the zipper pull is TINY TINY TINY. I had to put another pull on it to be able to work the zipper. Also, the zipper doesn't go down far enough to make stepping in and out of the robe and putting the arms in the sleeves easy. If they would fix these two issues, it would be perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grammy in PA from Very high quality This is the warmest, cuddliest, prettiest robe I have had in years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emerald City Dame from Super Cozy Robe And it's beautiful. The colors are almost yummy! It's very well made. I admit I was surprised to find the sleeves shorter than I expected but they are actually a boon because my sleeves are not dragging in breakfast pancakes! At the end of the day it's wonderful to snuggle up and relax in my "rainbow robe."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne E.B. from Lovely Bathrobe Love this robe! It is very cozy, warm and soft and has a nice, 3/4 length sleeve. It runs a tad full in the body, but I like my loungewear roomy. And the print is so happy! One of the nicest robes I've ever purchased.
Date published: 2015-09-24
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sallie from Best Robe Ever Even though I live in SW Florida where it almost never gets to freezing, this robe is so comfortable and toasty that even my husband wishes he had one. It's also good looking.

EAST LANSING — There aren't many teams that run the ball better than the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Actually, there is only one.
The Buckeyes (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) rank second in the nation, behind Army, in rushing yards per game with 321.3. So, when it comes to the Ohio State defense, they've basically seen the best rushing attack the country has to offer every day for the past five months.
But it's that same OSU defense that has acknowledged the rushing attack of 10th-ranked Michigan State, their opponent in this Saturday's Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, as being one of the most noticeable facets of the Spartans' (11-1, 8-0 Big Ten) offense.
"They are really good at running the ball," said Ohio State's first-team All-Big Ten linebacker Ryan Shazier, who leads the Big Ten in tackles (122). "They have a good O-line and they have playmakers."
The offensive line has been the most consistent group for the Spartans' offense this year as their ability to control the line of scrimmage and open up holes against almost all of their opponents has been astounding. But it's the progress of one of those playmakers that Shazier mentioned, MSU junior running back Jeremy Langford, that has really taken their rushing attack over the top.
Langford leads the Big Ten in rushing touchdowns with 16, also, he ranks fifth in the Big Ten with 1, 210 yards on the year. The 6-foot-0, 206-pound running back from Wayne, Mich., has been on a tear as of late as he has rushed for over 100 yards in Michigan State's last seven games and has been the MVP of the MSU offense.
"He's a really good runner," Shazier said. "He's a pretty fast guy. He just reads the holes that open for him. He does what he needs to do and he has 100 yards in the past few games he's been running. He is a good running back and finds the holes that he needs to find."
It'll be important for the Spartans to establish the run early, not just because it will help open up the passing game that has been very inconsistent this season, but because they need to be able to maintain long, clock-eating drives to keep Ohio State's first-team All-Big Ten quarterback Braxton Miller and first-team All-Big Ten running back Carlos Hyde off the field.
Miller and Hyde have combined for 45 of Ohio State's 75 offensive touchdowns on the season, and as a whole, the Buckeyes' offense hasn't scored less than 30 points all year — they ranked third in the country with 48.2 points per game.
And while the Michigan State defense has been stellar — rank first in the nation — against many different kinds of offenses, they haven't quite seen an offense with this much fire power at all times.
While the Buckeyes have several wrinkles in their offense that have contributed to their dominant play this season, according to Michigan State's first-team All-Big Ten linebacker Max Bullough, it's the fundamentals that will allow the MSU defense to conntain the likes of Miller and Hyde.
"It's the old cliché about guys have to be disciplined, guys have to trust that the other guys are doing their job and then you have to make plays," he said. "You have to make plays when the guy is in front of you. You can't get juked out, or whatever it is. You have to make the play when it's in front of you. The coaches are going to have us in the right positions. We'll make the proper adjustments. We'll be where we need to be.
"In terms of Hyde, it's about being physical every play. It's about being downhill in the run game as linebackers, being physical at the point of attack up front, our safeties coming down at the right angles and all of that stuff.
"And with Braxton Miller, it's about guys doing their job and then finishing the play. We always talk about turning those 50-yard touchdowns he gets against other teams into 12- or 15-yard gains and living another down, giving us a chance to adjust, keep them out of the end zone. We always talk about: limit those big plays, keep those low, but also when they do happen, don't allow them to be the game-changing plays."

Oh, no. I hope you escape it, or is snow normal for this time of the year?
The cold front came through here last night and is due to return tomorrow as
a warm front -- pretty normal. We will be in the 60's next week. Thankfully
no twirlies but some real loud thunder sometime in the night. I'm keeping my
fingers crossed that we won't have any tomorrow, either. I think I told you
all, but one time I spent several hours in my closet with the dog and seven
of the cats. It was really difficult which was worse, staying in there or
coming out to a possible tornado (we had them all around us that night).
Finally I heard what sounded like a freight train and thought, "Okay, this is
it." Then the whistle blew. I live real close to the Norfolk & Southern

Joy into the New Year, Chance of Light Snow
January 5, 2012
Reviving an old blog from two years ago for the New Year :)
You just never know where you will find your 'Joy'.
Today after a busy Christmas weekend, I was doing what many Moms do, piling a few items on the stairs for the
rightful owners to conveniently find (or trip over) and take to their rooms.
I happened to glance up.
There in front of my eyes, was a message in shadow on the wall, reflecting in from our front portlight window.
The window has always been decorated with a little light up 'Joy' sign for the holidays, where it reads outward.
Today, the sun had cast its shadow perfectly. The shadow message inside left me stopped in my tracks when I least expected it...
Feel free to post throughout the year, whenever you are stunned by a little moment of 'Joy' which just happens to catch you out of no where, and we'll remember those moments and this little blog together!
Onward to a Happy New Year everyone,and may you find your 'Joy' when you least expect it!

What is your favorite hair dryer?
We want to know
I use a Chi dryer and have been pleased, but I tried a Deva sundryer for curly hair and LOVE it
BTW I'm new here and I'm so happy to have found a place dedicated to celebrating the different hair textures.My 3 yr old Daughter Sophia and I have very curly hair, we call ourselves " The Curly Girl's":p
Over the years I have used an elchum which is great for styling hair with a round brush, I also have a chi which I love. It is light weight and really hot. Now most of my clients have curl. I generally sit them under the hood. But if I use a dryer it is a deva. I don't recommend for staightening because it takes longer. although it is hot. it's not super hot.:)
fav dryer
My personal favorite is the black paul mitchell dryer. it eliminates frizz and adds shine and even cuts down drying time. my fav thing about it is it's quiet! but it doesn't do too well for curls, unless on low heat which means i'm drying for a while. hai elite has an amazing blow dryer too that dries hair instantly but it's so noisy :eek:. honestly the cheap blow dryer i've had since high school (4 years ago) with a universal diffuser is my number one choice when i diffuse my own curls. but shush can't tell my guests that.
Solano and Croc, the absolute best!!!
I have used Solano my entire career, they offer the most reliable dryers anywhere. That is, along with my new favorite Croc professional dryer! hands-down one of the fastest and easiest for blowdrying very thick and coarse texture, works as well on my ethnic clients as it does on everybody else I have used it on. Solano has the weight I like while the Croc is light and lightning fast! ;)
Turbo Power 3200 & Velecta Paramount TGR
I am a blow dryer junkie and I am very picky about the cords and power of the dryer. I went thru my CHI Turbo phase, but the tangly cord, lack of power and excessive heat got the best of me. I reverted to my trusty Elchim VIP which I love. Currently my 2 favorite blow dryers are: The Turbo Power 3200, it has lots of power for drying hair straight and fast, but snap on a multi-fit diffuser and lower the speed and it is great for curly hair! The Turbo Power is a workhorse dryer with a very good build quality. Another great dryer, which is my back up is the Velecta Paramount TGR, it has plenty of power for a compact dryer and multi-heat and speed settings. The best feature of the VP TGR is the LONG tangle-free cord!!!
FHI Heat 2000
I love this dryer because it works well for round brush curling and diffusing. It's not lightweight but has a high output of heat and air blast. Don't drop the tool because its very sensitive and may never work the same, I'm on my 2nd.
My Favorite is Karmin :)

YJ Frame Rust Removal
Have a 90 YJ (my son's) with the Bad Rear Shackle and Shock Mount rust.
I have the AutoRust replace kits to repair them.
Silly question it, I can only grind away so much of the rust.
Is there a chemical like Evapo-Rust (A soaking solution) that is Spray On?
Permatex makes a spray, but it read like a surface rust remove. But they have gel as well.
Any thoughts?
No clue, but I would contact Magnetman on the other jeep forum. If you go to the monstaliner website (his signature) look up chassis saver there is a lot of info.
monstaliner - JeepForum.com - Threads Tagged with monstaliner
Magnetman is a jeeper and a great dude from what I can tell. He would be able to point you in the right direction. Rust is what his company cut their teeth on.
Tell him Squirrel442 referred you. He doesn't know me from Adam, but like many other jeepers, I purchased his monstaliner based on his support to us jeep guys.
It would be good for him to know that his good reputation is paying off.
Best of luck
You should sand blast the frame, that's what I'm doing to my 93 YJ
Short of sandblasting, there is another solution. There is a paint that is supposed to stop rust and prevent more from forming but will not remove it so your frame will look like %$&...
Look up Eastwood automotive products on Google. They have a lot of rust solutions. They are a restoration products supplier. I sandblasted my frame, used autorusts body mounts and then sprayed it with a rust inhibitor then Eastwoods Chassis Black satin primer and top coat. I also used their internal frame coating. I took a grinder to all the factory weld splatter B4 spraying. The frame looks better than when it came off the assembly line.

The Right Way and the Sicilian Way
After a few weeks in Sicily I'm starting to figure a few things out. It's becoming clear that there is a Right Way to do things (aka, the "American Way"), and then there is the Sicilian Way. Here are a few examples.
The Right Way to buy Fruits and Vegetables: Walk into the supermarket. If it's November then it's the perfect time to buy some asparagus because you'll be helping the ...

We picked up our rental car in Siracusa, made a quick run back up to Catania (short but boring story) then searched out the backroads and scenic routes in a roundabout drive to Noto. Happy to have the independence only a car can provide after relying on public transportation for several weeks. The busses and trains we've used have worked well and have been easy to negotiate. ...

I have enjoyed taking part in the Sicilian way of life. I cannot believe at how lucky the Italians are when it comes to fresh produce, and how cheap it is. The peaches, nectarines and apricots are amazing and for under $2 a kilo. I even saw peaches the other day, freshly picked for 80 cents a kilo. And you dont have to look far for a fruit stall as they are on nearly every street corner. I have loved being able to eat so much fresh fruit.

I would like it to have rounded borders of the image and some nice background (I would give suggestions, but Im terribly bad at graphics).

Looking for your own custom icon to be made for you?
I always thought you had to pay gold in this thread and didn't even think of posting here, but Sye sent me here after I created a thread about getting a CAI. I guess I should have checked this thread before posting..
Anyway, here's the picture I like. So I was wondering if someone would be up for the challenge?
I was thinking slight gloss and rounded corners(Just like everybody else has more or less.) Possible some nice graphics, or black and white(Both?) As long as the silhouette stands out and is visible.
Anyone feels up for it? Many thanks in advance!
Oh and here's a nice for your viewing pleasure.

Yup, call me crazy but I did it. I booked myself a flight to the psych ward...well, not quite but.... I did do what some believe is the unthinkable.

Baker3/15/12 2:40pmFiled to: Pornocopia50 Shades of greyJames DeenFbtweetshutterstock91EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWe think E.L. James' 50 Shades of Grey is rather ridiculous (The term "Christian Grey flavored popsicle" still haunts our dreams), but the New York Daily News' Frank Santo, a "straight, white male of rather vanilla sexual inclinations" decreed the novel "pornography, plain and simple" that somehow still manages to gross men out. Yet, he's a fan, from a feminist perspective — Santo believes that ladies would feel "dirty and violated" if the book was written by a man, but since it's "clearly the invention of a real woman," it's empowering. He writes: "50 Shades" describes acts of female sexual submission written by a woman, for women, from a woman character's perspective, presumably for the purpose of the same aforementioned enthusiasms. Just as the majority of men who watch pornography do not actually think of their significant others as lascivious, orange-skinned, clearly-faking-it sexual acrobats, I seriously doubt that most women would prefer their men like Christian Grey: domineering, stalking, devoid of any humor or personality whatsoever.Brilliant idea: James Deen should play Christian Grey in the sure-to-be-upcoming movie version.

I would not prefer for him to be in my arms, I would prefer that DH puts the fuel in for me, or like I said, he follows me from his mums after we have dinner there and he pays for me.
I understand that some mums don't have partners etc to put fuel in for them, so I would suggest going to those stations with credit cards at the pump (if you can watch your spending!)
Or if they have day care, put fuel in before you pick them up.

Summer in New England is a brief but glorious time when many families experience a change in pace as schools let out and activities slow. Weeks that were once packed with classes, homework and practice are suddenly open for new activities. Whether these include summer camps, daycare, sports teams or beach days, summer days can offer new fun—and a new set of challenges for effective management of your child's asthma.
Many people with asthma may find their symptoms worsened by triggers associated with warmer weather and summer fun. High levels of urban smog and summer pollen can trigger wheezing, coughing, difficulty in breathing, and can even result in hospitalization in serious cases. Other common summer triggers include wood smoke from camp fires and physical activity for people with exercise-induced asthma.
Additionally, routines that had been established during the school year to manage your child's asthma must be modified for irregular summer schedules. This can make it more difficult to find time to help your child take controller medications. And it's likely that summer care providers may be unfamiliar with your child's Asthma Action Plan or medication needs.
In order to ensure that your child can live a healthy, active life with asthma in the summer, parents and care givers can take action in the following ways.
- Find a set time to give your child his/her controller medications, so that even as schedules change, this remains a daily constant.
- Review your child's Asthma Action Plan (AAP) as a family, and go over the AAP with anyone that cares for your child, including grandparents and babysitters.
- Review your child's AAP with coaches and child care providers.
- Create an On-the-Go pack with an emergency inhaler and AAP that your child can quickly throw into a day bag. If that's not practical, just make sure that anyone that cares for your child has access to the emergency inhaler and knows how to administer it.
Understand what triggers your child's asthma and pay attention to high pollen or smog days if necessary. Talk to your pediatrician about getting an updated Asthma Action Plan for warm-weather triggers, if needed.
To learn more about the ways that partners across Massachusetts will tackle asthma in the next five years, please join us for the Massachusetts Asthma Action Partnership (MAAP) Summit on July 29. At this meeting, the DPH Asthma Prevention and Control Program will unveil the Strategic Plan for Asthma in Massachusetts 2015 – 2020. You can find more information at the link:

Modifying the 1394 Configuration ROM
A Microsoft Windows system connected to the 1394 bus exposes a Configuration ROM that describes the functional units supported by the node. For further information about 1394 Configuration ROMs, see the IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE-1212-2000 specifications. In Windows XP and later operating systems, the contents of the Configuration ROM can be dynamically defined in two ways:
Drivers can dynamically modify the Configuration ROM to expose hardware designed for non-1394 buses on the 1394 bus.
For example, consider a general purpose system that has an internal DVD drive connected to the system's IDE bus. A driver that maps 1394 requests into the protocol used by the DVD drive could expose the DVD drive on the 1394 bus to other 1394 nodes. To do this, it would have to add a new unit directory to the 1394 Configuration ROM of the system. Other systems connected on the 1394 bus will then be able to enumerate the general purpose system as though it were a 1394 DVD device.
Drivers can use virtual physical device objects (PDOs) to emulate hardware in ways that facilitate the testing of device drivers.
Device emulation allows developers to test drivers for devices that they have not yet received. Hardware emulation drivers can expose a virtual 1394 device on the 1394 bus. Developers can then debug a driver for the new hardware on another system. For more information about device emulations, see IEEE 1394 Hardware Emulation Drivers.

The St. Mary Sheriff's Office was called this morning at 7:59 a.m. to the Trunkline Gas Plant, 3635 Hwy 90 in Calumet, in reference to a shutdown of the pipeline. Several vehicles and the roadway were reported covered with a residue, Sheriff Mark Hebert said. State Police Troop I spokesman Stephen Hammons said too much pressure in a pipeline caused a release of paraffin in the area. A car accident was also reported in the area, and Hammons said the paraffin could have been a contributing factor. Hebert said the state Department of Transportation and Development also has been contacted and is assessing the area for any lingering safety concerns. Hebert advised that all vehicles take precautions traveling in this area due to a possibility of residue on the roadway.

The Clinical Sciences Core will be led by Dr. Margaret FischI as Director, Dr. Charles Mitchell as Co- Director, and Dr. Kristopher Arheart as Biostatistical Subcore leader. The Clinical Sciences Core (CSC) during the past four years provided essential services that both enhanced the productivity and capacity of Miami CFAR investigators and new/young investigators and fostered collaborative research among clinical, behavioral/social, and basic scientists that involved human subjects, human data, and biological specimen collection and distribution. The CSC provided support and services to over 80 investigators for over 120 projects support by 7 NIH institutes, 6 NIH funded networks, the CDC, the HRSA, and the pharmaceutical industry and to over 100 CFAR members including young/new investigators. The mission of the CSC is to provide scientific leadership and infrastructure support that advances multidisciplinary collaborative research in basic, clinical, epidemiologic, behavioral/social, and translational sciences in the prevention, detection, treatment, and cure of HIV/AIDS. The mission and goals of the CSC are needs base driven by the research priorities of the UM CFAR investigators and their projects and by the CSC priority to foster synergy and produce an economy of scale. The CSC will focus on enhancing the capacity for HIV/AIDS research in NIH Networks, promoting and supporting innovative NIH HIV/AIDS research initiatives, and facilitating and promoting scientific interactions between CFAR investigators and industry. The CSC will accomplish this through the provision of Biostatistical study design expertise and biostatical services, provision of clinical data and biological specimen repository to foster collaborative immunopathogenesis research, assistance with IRB and regulatory agency submissions, and provision of state-of-the-art clinical research facilities with clinical services. The CSC is essential to the continued growth and success of the Miami CFAR, as it has provided critical expertise and services for advancing multidisciplinary clinical translation research in therapeutic, vaccine and prevention research that is not duplicated by other Cores or facilities at the University of Miami.
The CSC will support and stimulate scientific interdisciplinary translational research through the provision of scientific expertise and services with the goal to ehance and advance translational sciences in the prevention, detection, treatment, and cure of HIV/AIDS.

2017 Kentucky Derby Contenders
When it comes to Kentucky Derby betting, knowing the contenders and top picks by the experts is a great place to start coming up with your own betting strategy for the race. The Kentucky Derby will bring together the best three year old race horses in the world on May 6, 2017.
Listed below are the horses in order of posit position:
TROJAN NATION (Morning Line Odds 50-1): He's the 81-1 longshot we were talking about in our profile of Outwork. Never finished higher than third in five MSW's trying to break his maiden. Got a perfect pace and a weak field to finish second in the Blue Grass. Probably not among the top 25 horses in the state of California. Not a good idea to bet a horse to 'break his maiden' in the Kentucky Derby.
SUDDENBREAKINGNEWS (Morning Line Odds 20-1): Won the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Fifth in the Rebel Stakes, rebounded to finish second in the Arkansas Derby. Has a 'cult following' but serious horse players very concerned about his tendency to find traffic and not get out of it. His proponents point to his 'bred for distance' pedigree and his consistency. With the exception of the Rebel Stakes has finished first or second in every one of his eight career races. The big question is the level of competition in those races which is well below what he'll face on the first Saturday in May.
CREATOR (Morning Line Odds 10-1): Took six races to break his maiden but has performed well in the two stakes events he's entered—both Kentucky Derby prep races at Arkansas' Fair Grounds Park. Took third in the Rebel Stakes, won the Arkansas Derby with a very strong closing effort and a nice ride from jockey Ricardo Santana. Was the big winner in the Arkansas Derby and the beneficiary of the bad showing by Bob Baffert's Cupid. Now Cupid is off the Derby trail and Creator is heading to Churchill Downs. Racing experts still trying to figure him out. If the race sets up right for him could close his way to victory.
MO TOM (Morning Line Odds 20-1): To listen to his trainer Tom Amoss talk he's a better closer than Zenyatta in the 2010 Breeders' Cup. Has disappointed in his two prep races but Amoss has made jockey Corie Lanerie the scapegoat. You can write off the problems he's faced on bad racing luck, bad rides from the jockey or whatever but excuses don't win in the Kentucky Derby. A likely non-factor.
GUN RUNNER (Morning Line Odds 10-1): Current leader in the Kentucky Derby qualification points standings. Won the Louisiana Derby and Risen Star at Fair Grounds but neither races had a particularly fast pace or, for that matter, impressive competitive depth. Won't race again until the Kentucky Derby so we won't have a chance to find out more until the first Saturday in May. Steve Asmussen trained. Has reportedly been training well at Churchill Downs for whatever that's worth.
MY MAN SAM (Morning Line Odds 20-1): Took second in his stakes race debut in the Blue Grass. Downside: unimpressive field in the Blue Grass this year and a slow pace. Upside: showed some decent speed in his previous races. Might be worth a look underneath on exotics.
OSCAR NOMINATED (Morning Line Odds 20-1): Veteran owners thought so little of Oscar Nominated they didn't bother nominating him for the Triple Crown—didn't think it was worth a $600 outlay though they nominated several other horses. Then Oscar Nominated goes and wins the Grade 2 Spiral Stakes as a 21-1 longshot. The 2017 Spiral Stakes was a bizarre event held at Turfway Park, better known as Pete Rose's favorite gambling haunt. Race was run on synthetic turf in 50 MPH winds and gusts strong enough to blow over infield Porta-Potties. That sounds pleasant. But Oscar Nominated has enough points to get into the Kentucky Derby and owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey will pay the $200,000 fee to supplement him. Nothing about the horse really suggests Kentucky Derby contender.
LANI (Morning Line Odds 30-1): Winner of the UAE Derby which is essentially a 'free pass' into the Kentucky Derby. Looks like another overmatched shipper from the Middle East. Three career races—two in Japan plus the UAE Derby. Nothing to suggest that he'll be able to hang with the big, talented field he'll face at Churchill Downs.
DESTIN (Morning Line Odds 15-1): Want a real question mark? Destin won the March 12 Tampa Bay Derby and before that the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs. Ran a 100 Beyer in the Derby and for that reason his connections have kept him out of any more prep races. Will run the Kentucky Derby on an 8 week layoff. Quality connections to be sure—trained by Todd Pletcher, jockey Javier Castellano. Probably an early Derby pace setter that fades out of the money.
WHITMORE (Morning Line Odds 20-1): Ran well in the three Kentucky Derby prep races at Oaklawn Park, finishing second in the Southwest Stakes and Rebel Stakes, third in the Arkansas Derby. Trained by Ron Moquett, horse experts generally like Whitmore but have serious concerns about his ability to compete at more than a mile.
EXAGGERATOR (Morning Line Odds 8-1): Earned a handful of Kentucky Derby qualification points in last year's Delta Downs Derby Jackpot as a two year old. Punched his ticket to Churchill Downs with a win in a sloppy and muddy Santa Anita Derby. A strong presence in the other two Kentucky Derby prep races at Santa Anita, finishing second in the San Vincente to Nyquist. Took third in the San Vincente behind two other potential Derby runners, Mor Spirit and Danzing Candy. Many handicappers think the 103 Beyer he ran in the Santa Anita Derby is dubious. Trainer Keith Desormeaux, his brother Kent Desormeux the jockey. Still a lot of questions about this colt but his connections love his versatility and a horse that can handle the mud is a nice bonus at Churchill Downs in early May.
TOM'S READY (Morning Line Odds 30-1): Finished second in the Louisiana Derby. Trained by underrated Dallas Stewart, Tom's Ready has yet to win in his brief (three races) career. He's improved every time out but has it been enough to make him a Kentucky Derby contender? Doubtful.
NYQUIST (Morning Line Odds 3-1) : Before the Florida Derby the horse racing media was all on board the Mohaymen bandwagon. They're completely inexplicable sometimes. All we heard about last spring was that American Pharoah had 'never been tested' and 'never faced adversity' and thus had no chance in the Kentucky Derby. Spoiler alert—he won the Kentucky Derby and went on to become the first Triple Crown winner in over 30 years. Nyquist, trained by Doug O'Neill and named after Detroit Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist, has seven career races and seven career wins. No rap against Mohaymen, but the racing media were convinced that Mohaymen had a huge edge over Nyquist. That was until he won the Florida Derby while Mohaymen finished out of the money. Nyquist will almost certainly be the Kentucky Derby morning line favorite.
MOHAYMEN (Morning Line Odds 10-1): Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, this horse was the presumptive Kentucky Derby favorite until his loss in the Florida Derby. For some reason, Mohaymen was the darling of the horse racing media over Nyquist early in the season Now five wins in six career races with four coming in Grade 2 stakes events. Won the Remsen and Nashua at Aqueduct as a two year old, won the Holy Bull and Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park as a three year old. 4th in the Florida Derby in a very lackluster effort that has many of the aforementioned horse racing media types backtracking. He either didn't like the wet track for the Florida Derby, it was just an 'off day' or he's regressing. Probably won't know for sure until the first Saturday in May.
OUTWORK (Morning Line Odds 15-1): Sired by Uncle Mo, Outwork won the Wood Memorial and finished second in the Tampa Bay Derby. Other than that, two wins in allowance races—one as a three year old and one as a two year old. The Wood had a brutally slow pace and he had to hold off an 81-1 maiden down the stretch. His 93 Beyer in the Wood is mitigated somewhat by a 101 in the Tampa Bay Derby. His proponents say he's 'sneaky fast' while most handicappers give him high marks for grit and toughness. An intriguing possibility.
SHAGAF (Morning Line Odds 20-1): Was supposed to put on a show in the Wood Memorial, instead he was done early and finished fifth. Picked up 50 points winning the Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct and that's enough to get him in the race. Concern that he's reached the upper limit of his distance at best, just isn't progressing at worst.
MOR SPIRIT (Morning Line Odds 12-1): Bob Baffert's only Kentucky Derby runner with Cupid off the Triple Crown trail. Won last year's Grade 1 Los Alamitos Futurity as a two year old. Won the Robert B. Lewis Stakes and finished in the money at the other Santa Anita prep races taking second in both the San Felipe and Santa Anita Derby. Racing wags think he'll be a different horse on a fast track and could be a factor at Churchill if that occurs on Derby day.
MAJESTO (Morning Line Odds 30-1): Majesto is an interesting horse and has been pointed to the Kentucky Derby following a runner up performance behind Nyquist in the Florida Derby. Raced twice as a two year old finishing second and third in Maiden Special Weight Events. Finished third to start his three year old campaign and got his first win in another MSW in late February. All he's done since then is enter the Grade 1 Florida Derby in his stakes debut and finish second to the Kentucky Derby favorite. Not much of a resume to go on but is getting a lot of buzz among railbirds. Half brother to two Grade 1 winners-Meadow Breeze, the winner of the Grade 1 Matron Stakes as a juvenile and Arkansas Derby winner Overanalyze. Keep an eye on this horse's workouts—he may be a surprise contender in the Kentucky Derby and could even more likely prosper later in his three year old career.
BRODY'S CAUSE (Morning Line Odds 12-1): Won the Blue Grass Stakes as Todd Pletcher's Zulu laid an egg. 7th in the Tampa Bay Derby, 3rd in the 2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Won the Breeders' Futurity. He does well at Keeneland obviously but does have a win at Churchill Downs in his second career race (MSW). Most experts think he's got promise but still a cut below the top horses in the field. Could blossom later this year.
DANZING CANDY (Morning Line Odds 15-1): Won the San Felipe Stakes, finished fourth in the Santa Anita Derby. So far he's shown speed but little more. Trained by Cliff Sise Jr., there are rumors afoot that he'll bypass the Kentucky Derby and target the Preakness Stakes. For now, he's still 'in' the Derby.

With the start of the 2017 racing season there will be somewhere between 350 and 400 three year olds that will 'declare' for the Kentucky Derby. The nomination process is largely symbolic, with owners putting up $600 to gain eligibility for the three Triple Crown races. With a maximum of 20 horses accepted into the Kentucky Derby field there will be a significant process of elimination among this group of three year olds. This is done via a formal qualification procedure involving the major Derby 'prep races' in the early part of the 2017 racing season.
As you can see, the contenders for the 2017 Kentucky Derby are just starting to get listed around the Internet. Keeping up to date on the latest contenders as the 2017 race nears is important for those who are really serious about Kentucky Derby betting odds.
