Ogden • One entrepreneur's dream to open a live music venue in a struggling neighborhood strip mall is on hold as he works to craft a citywide zoning amendment that city officials can support.
Earnie McKown owned and operated the Paris Cafe in downtown Ogden earlier this year, but had to shut down his business because of rent and utility costs that were too high.
Last week, he appeared before the City Council with hopes of gaining approval to host live entertainment in a vacant storefront he now leases in the Harrison Plaza Shopping Center at 32nd Street and Harrison Boulevard.
"We're not talking about throwing huge rock concerts," McKown told council members. "We're talking about acoustic performances … low-key, live entertainment."
His nonalcoholic social club, outfitted with an espresso bar, dart boards and pool tables, would serve as an after-school hangout for teens, then at night would showcase area talent, whether it be musical, comedic or even poetic.
"We're catering to teenagers, but we're also catering to members of the community who aren't interested in going to bars," McKown said, adding that he's had several bands approach him, wanting to perform.
The city's planning commission had previously voted 6 to 1 against his petition, fearing that the new use would cause problems in other strip malls and shopping centers throughout the city where live concerts might not be a good fit.
McKown currently has permission to operate a lodge or social hall at the Harrison site, but those terms are not clearly defined in city code. But without live performers in the evenings and the associated cover charges they bring in McKown said it is difficult to pay the bills.
In McKown's draft petition, he agreed to several restrictions. He won't operate within one block of an assisted living facility. He'll offer live entertainment only between 5 p.m. and midnight. Entrances and exits for his venue won't be within 150 feet of homes and no alcohol will be consumed on the premises. And lastly, sound within 100 feet of an entrance or exit won't exceed 65 decibels before 10 p.m. and 60 decibels after 10 p.m.
Todd Stewart, who manages the Harrison Plaza property for Utah Great Western Associates LLC, said he supports McKown's endeavor.
"I like the fact that it's non-alcoholic," Stewart told the council, adding that he has a difficult time understanding the big concern between live entertainment and a DJ who plays recorded music the latter use would be allowed under McKown's current permit for a lodge or social hall.
Stewart said on Friday that McKown was trying to be a good citizen by asking the city to clearly define live entertainment.
In March, Stewart sought council approval for storage units in another portion of Harrison Plaza. At that time, he described the decades-old strip mall as the ugliest shopping center in the city.
"We've repainted it since, so its not the ugliest anymore," Stewart said, adding that the space McKown will occupy housed a Chuck E. Cheese franchise many years ago, but has since been difficult to rent. However, he believes it would be ideal for McKown's purpose.
"It's up in the neighborhoods where the kids are," Stewart said, referring to the plaza's location near Ogden High School, Mount Ogden Junior High School and residential areas east and west of Harrison Boulevard.
But city officials worry about the ability to control after-hour noise that could spill over into neighborhoods.
While poetry readings, live acoustic music and stand-up comedians could likely work, council members were flummoxed about exactly where to draw the line when it comes to live bands and amplification.
Salt Lake City offers live entertainment venues that have separate alcoholic and nonalcoholic sections such as Club Sound and In the Venue however, those clubs do not border neighborhoods.
"It seems like we have some vagueness in our ordinance," said Councilman Richard Hyer, urging further refining of their definitions.
The council ultimately denied McKown's petition but left the door open to revisit the issue with better parameters in place.
"I can understand the city's point," McKown said, still determined to work with the city to nail down definitions that will allow his all-ages music venue to function in the Harrison Plaza location.
"A city with a vibrant music scene affects the economy, fashion, merchandise everything," McKown said.

About myself:
I am 22-years-old at 5'9 and 165lbs. I currently play indoor soccer twice a week for a college club team and my own brother's personal club team. I am involved in a few successfully running paintball clubs. I am a pretty good paintball player. I would say I know a good amount about paintball, soccer, and fitness.
Just to give a reference of what I have done over the last year. On December 25, 2011 I weighed around 205/210lbs. January 18, 2012 I weighed 200/205lbs. March 29, 2012 I weighed 180lbs. May 24, 2012 I weighed 170. June 6, 2012 I weighed 167lbs. And I have been floating at 165lbs since about then over the last few months just enjoying my life, staying healthy, but still going out to dinner, drinking with friends, etc.. Right now I am about to diet down to around 140lbs and get ripped. Shooting for January 18th as my deadline as like a one year transformation but I should be able to reach that weight by the end of December...
My story:
I started working out at age a young age with my older brother. Did it pretty steadily for a few years, didn't know much at the time. Didn't see results like I would of wished. Up through high school I had a couple injuries, got out of shape. After I healed from some ankle injuries a year later I got back into the grove of things and did some reading and learned a lot from these experiences through this period. I was at the best shape of my life. I met a girl during this time. I stopped exercising, let my self go. That quickly turned to myself being in the worst shape of my life and resulting in the worst time of my life. After which I decided to get back into bettering myself. Been steadily taking in fitness as part of a lifestyle such as education, working, and paintball is a part of my life.
Fitness has inspired me the majority of my life and plays a huge roll in my life right now. Everything I am currently doing in my life I can relate to fitness in some way or another... Helping others out with something I am involved in helps motivate me. And I see this as an opportunity to help motivate myself more and to possibly help out others along the way. I know what it is like to be in good shape and especially out of shape.. I think I can definitely relate to a lot people and help them out with their fitness goals with the knowledge I have learned through the years.
Do you want to be physically fit for the first time in your life and need help? Do you want to be able to play paintball and other sports better?
Do you just want to get rid of that double chin, get them abs to show, gain the confidence, and get the girls to not only stare at you but to talk to you as well?
What I can do for you:
Answer the majority of questions about fitness, nutrition, and to promote better health.
I can help give you nutritional advice. Help you clean up your eating habits. Give you a better understanding of food. I can help you to get the results you're looking for, and allow you to still be able to enjoy life without "diets" interfering with your social or daily life.
I can help give you fitness advice on exercises, routines, building muscle, losing fat, and any other questions you may have about fitness or nutrition.

I have wondered from time to time if the writer of the movie "The Two Jakes" got the idea for having a guy murdered in a motel room while messing with another man's wife from what happened to Cooke. Myself I don't mix female and male singers, Male singers are okay but my favorites are female. I enjoy male musicians and female singers. That is just my thing.

More Info
Robert Laurent (American, 1890-1970), Lamentation, 1946.Limestone, 25 inches.
Robert Laurent's limestone sculpture Lamentation (1946) was acquired in January 2011 during the High's annual Collectors' Evening event for the Museum's American art collection. Laurent was at the forefront of new trends and is often considered a link between the classicism of Beaux Arts sculptors and the abstractionists. His work is relatively rare, with much of it existing either in monumental size as public art or scattered among public and private collections.
Lamentation was inspired by a dance of the same title choreographed by Martha Graham in 1930, in which the dancer is dressed in a sheath that at times covers and absorbs her entire body. For Laurent, as for Graham, the expression of Lamentation was intended to cross cultural boundaries and probe at the universal experience of grief. It is the first work by Robert Laurent to enter the High's collection and complements the elegant, stylized forms of John Flannigan, William Zorach and Paul Manship; the cubist composition of Berta Margoulies; and the abstract work by Theodore Roszak already in the collection.

Ironman World Championships; Kona, Hawaii 2015
October 23rd, 2015 by Fraser
38th place (391st overall) – 10:07:08
The infamous 'Hawi Express' pulls out of the station
There had been a long time between drinks. It was 5 years since my last (and only) race on the Big Island – the biggest race of them all in non drafting triathlon; Ironman Kona. This goal of qualifying for Kona once again had essentially started two years beforehand when I was on the island supporting Ali on her very first attempt at the distance, but started for me in serious earnest just over one year ago at IM Wales. However, with some reasonable reflection since returning home I can now grasp why it was this very (drawn out!) process that resulted in my finish time being over an hour slower than ever before in an M-dot.

In addition to TCP's Top Influencers, our sister publication Concrete Construction honors several individuals for their contributions to the concrete industry. Read about CC's Top Influencers.
Creating A Legacy in Concrete
Bruce Ingram helped establish a new CIM program.
Bruce Ingram attended Texas A&M for two years. But he learned about the basics of construction while serving with the Seabees, the U.S. Navy's construction battalion. He credits this practical experience as the catalyst for his successful career in the concrete industry.
In the more than half of a century since then, Ingram has helped our industry grow without seeking credit. He began his career by providing the material used to build I-35, which helped San Antonio to become one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.
He has served as a director on the Texas Aggregate and Concrete Association, which has helped Texas to be one of the nation's largest providers of concrete. And recently, Ingram donated millions of dollars to Texas State University-San Marcos to help future generations continue concrete's growth. For this educational effort, we choose Bruce Ingram, who never went to college, as a TCP Influencer for helping grow the industry for the entire southern U.S.
Bruce Ingram, founder of Ingram Readymix, a New Braunfels, Texas-based producer that operates 26 plants in 22 Texas cities, has decided to influence the future. Through endowments, he and his wife Gloria are bringing educational opportunities in engineering and concrete industry management to Central Texas.
Future commitment
When asked about the timing, Ingram admits that it was a tough decision. In today's economic environment, many organizations and business leaders focus on handling the effects of our industry's contraction. But Ingram has experienced hard times before, and they are always followed by growth. "I am committed to looking to the future," he says. "And our industry, especially here in the South, will need professionals to handle the growth that will come."
This commitment to education began in 2006 when the Ingrams donated $5 million to Texas State University-San Marcos to establish the Bruce and Gloria Ingram School of Engineering and the Department of Technology. Their gift established the Bruce and Gloria Ingram Chair in Engineering, and endowed two professorships, need- and merit-based scholarships, faculty, and program development. This year, they donated an another $2 million for more scholarships.
While much of this donations was targeted toward the engineering school, a significant portion was dedicated to establishing a Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program. Ingram looked at his contribution not as a gift, but a challenge. "Our area is blessed with a number of key industry suppliers, and I had hoped that my initial support would urge our industry to pitch in," he says. They did.
Spurred by his efforts, the Texas State CIM Patron Foundation was established and then additional funding requirements were met. As a result of Ingram's efforts, the CIM program was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in October 2008, making Texas State University-San Marcos the fifth school in the U.S. to offer the industry's exclusively developed four-year degree.
His primary goal in funding education at the San Marcos campus is to provide a regional educational alternative. "Many of our college-bound high school graduates who wanted to learn engineering were forced to leave the area," Ingram says. "As our area continues to grow, we need to provide an opportunity for learning and encourage our brightest to stay."
Ingram hopes to spend some time on campus with the CIM students over the next few years. "Just being around the young professionals has helped me stay youthful," he says. And in this way, the man who has quietly aided in the growth of a region while developing a premier production company will forever influence future generations of concrete producers.

Prayers to help foster hope and help
Chaplain Luis Lopez-Colon is making a difference
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - This is a special quiet anniversary in the lives of millions of soldiers. 238 years ago, the U.S. Army Chaplains Corps was created. More than 25 thousand Chaplains have been ministering to more than 25 million soldiers and their loved ones. I had an opportunity to talk with Chaplain Major Luis Lopez-Colon at Fort Carson about his history of providing hope and help to soldiers. He started in the National Guard as a registered nurse and made the transition to Chaplain. Major Lopez-Colon is with the Fourth Combat Aviation Brigade. This United Methodist Minister told me, "I've always had the passion to either help people heal or heal people and bring them to the Lord."
This anniversary is a special one for him and others who do what he does for millions, "I'm proud of the heritage we have left behind and looking forward to what we can do for the family"
Chaplain Lopez-Colon also showed me a Bible that is very special to him. It is a Bible dedicated to America's wounded warriors and their families. His picture is on the front and on the back of it. He reflected on what that means to him, "I thought God was really trying to tell me something. Soldiers are important and I have valid purpose in the Army, being a Chaplain."
This dedication of duty to others by Chaplains, like Colonel David Brown and others in the U.S. Army is why this group of men and women are Wear Red Friday Heroes. If you know someone who is deserving of this honor, go back to our homepage and our Wear Red Friday section on the home page. The nomination form is on there.

Scored an INCREDIBLE girth belt from sleepalot! So happy with this thing.
You look great in that suit and I can't wait to see it all done and you wearing it!
Looking great! Certainly an inspiration to someone like me that's just starting out. I can't wait to see it finished.
The 3rd shin tool is a fake tool! It is only present in the SW Visual Dictionary and on the Don Post's Boba Fett statue (?). A great replica would be a steel or aluminum tube with these measurements:
Note that the length may vary from suit to suit and for the ESB you should use the lower end measurements.
But if this is something that I could actually help push for changing, then you better expect I will ill pick up a tube today
The screen-used reference is confusing, since they must have just jammed in tools here and there, switching positions as they filmed. For ESB in some pics he has 3 shin tools, and it other shots he has 4. ROTJ he has 2 or 3 shin tools, depending on the pic.
In the ESB the shin tools are pretty constant with the positions: the shin tools (4 of them) are in the same position, except the sonic beam weapon is inverted in the first hallway scene and the anti-security blade is reversed in the other hallway scene (shooting at Luke), while starting with the carbon chamber scene the 4th shin tool si no more and the survival knife take its place.
ESB with 4 shin tools:
Note that there are no images with the shin tool positions in the Slave I cockpit and the torture chamber door to the elevator scene, so we can assume that it has the 4 shin tool setup.

Thank you for such a detailed post Raf. I'll paint the details on the other side of the squeegee.
Thanks Kcr!! I'm hoping to be done in a couple months tops
Here's a glamour shot of my bucket:
Intended on having a full on photoshoot of all the parts that I have since I just got back from vacation but there were complications and a couple parts were upside down lol... It happens. I got my 99centTaco belt in the mail along with a new and improved neck seal from Arkady and an amazing Fettronics display! I'll post an update with photos tomorrow.
Big update. I've ordered every part I need. Now all I'm doing is waiting for them in the mail. I'm waiting on my EE3, sidearm, armor and cape/braids. Here are some photos of where I'm at now:
Looking good....gotta do some sewing on my hip pouches this weekend ARG!!!! I need a machine for that.
nice build
Wow looking great Mr. Sweet!!!
Thank you guys!! Just got word that RKD shipped my armor (switched to his from BM because I got my hands on BM and it would've been too small. I'm 6'3" and 190lbs. Also ordered a SW EE3, a 3D printed sidearm, decals from lucky and a harness from Kcr7pr!
Looking amazing Wes! You are speeding through this! I need to catch up!

Tour for Diversity in Medicine Urges Minority Students to Seek Medical, Dental Careers
Last September, more than 300 college students representing underserved communities had a unique opportunity to attend a special pre-med and pre-dental workshop coupled with individual counseling sessions at six campuses from Atlanta to Michigan.
These campus conferences were part of Tour for Diversity in Medicine (T4D), a program that aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups entering medical and dental fields.
The brainchild of two young physicians, T4D recruits 10 to 12 young minority doctors, dentists, and medical and dental students to headline the tour, moving from campus to campus on a large, branded bus. This group of mobile mentors works with advisors at each institution to host sessions on pre-medical academic achievement, medical and dental school application processes, and other insights helpful to success in medicine and dentistry. All pre-medical advisors from host and nearby institutions, as well as local physicians, dentists, and medical researchers, are invited to take part in programming.
Kameron Leigh Matthews, M.D., J.D., and Alden M. Landry, M.D., were leaders in the Student National Medical Association when they got their idea for T4D campus tours. They obtained funding from a variety of sponsors, including the Aetna Foundation and the U.S. Army Medical Recruiting Brigade, to rent and outfit the tour bus, which houses and transports mentors and equipment.
"We saw a need for a different kind of outreach," said Dr. Matthews. "We especially want to reach students in places not affiliated with medical schools and with little opportunity for shadowing or other experiences…So much of going into medicine is what you've been exposed to."
The organization aims to provide some of that exposure—specifically offering role models—for students in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
Dr. Matthews, now Medical Director of the Division Street site of Erie Family Health Center in Chicago, and Dr. Landry, an emergency physician at Beth Israel in Boston, continue to raise funds, organize, and take part in the tours. They report from the road on Facebook and Twitter. T4D is currently supported by a partnership with the National Association for the Advisors of the Health Professions.
Look out for the T4D bus making its way to Texas in February and returning to the Mid-Atlantic States in fall 2013. Visit the T4D website to find out how to participate in an upcoming tour, learn how to become a mentor, or recommend a university for an educational stop.

artboy1, i assume your talking about the small smg advtzd in clearview/centerfire
in 7.62x25 cal? if so, you can get a full piece reciver tube W/template.+ all threads & machining done, except what you have to cut out with a DREMEL (just like the mkll
&mklll tubes) at:
Jeffs shooter supply
P.O. box 1054
trussville, Alabama 35173
ph# (205) 833-3705 fax#(205) 836-0778
i dont remember the price, but it was something like $75 or 80+$12 s&h
rusty....sorry it took soo long to reply, I cound'nt remember where I put this post. This place has too much info and I have been glued in AK forums. Do you know if these tubes are for sten or vz-26? they look like they would take the same tube. also are they semi or full? if they're full can they be converted to semi with correct functioning? thanks for the info though!
hi artboy, jeff's has the tubes for the vz26. (sometimes called cz26) no the sten tubes cant be used, they are the wrong size. the 26 tubes are thicker & much better made then the stens. also, i think they are stainless steel. where are you getting your kit from? if its the ones i mentioned, they are full auto. i dont know about a semi auto conversion. you'd have to talk to the place your getting your kit from, and check with the A.T.F. just to be on the safe side. jeff's has all kinds of rec tubes & plates.
he's a great source, high quality & fast delivery. he might be able to answer some of your questions. good luck! rusty.
don't want to do the auto thing.....I don't need a vacation that bad. Does jeff have a website?
The tubing required is 1.625" out / 1.375" in and 13.1" long, and lathe down to 1.575" for original outside dimensions.....I assume 4130/4140 would do it.
The semi conversion will in principle be along the same lines as a Sten conversion. Surf around for semi sten info and you'll see what I mean - you'll basically convert it to an AK-style captive hammer & closed bolt mechanism. Machining will be required. Won't be easy, but then again nothing is. Not sure how parts count will work on on this.
Rhino may want to chime in here.
You can get these from Ken (email@example.com) and see what he has at
I think Rhino has a kit, if so then maybe he can post ID & OD measurements...
Look here if you are needing a template... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...?item=28910513 or here for an 80% blank http://www.prexis.com/sten/

text: No, the jump out of steps for junior ladies in the sp this year is the 2F OR 3F. 2F with positive GOE or at least base mark is worth more than a downgraded 3F. So some skaters will be better off planning the double. One jump won't win events on its own . . . although a good 3F along with lots of other good stuff will certainly help.

Ikea says Marriott International will help it open its new budget hotels across western Europe during the next five years. The Swedish company, which announced last year that it will launch the hotel chain, said Marriott will be its partner. They will develop some 50 hotels with 150 to 300 rooms each in major cities. The first is scheduled to open in Milan, Italy, next year.
India rejects
Bayer plea
India's patent appeals office has rejected Bayer's plea to stop production of a cheaper generic version of its kidney and liver cancer drug. Last year, India's patent office allowed a local drug manufacturer to produce a generic version on the grounds it would make the drug available to the public at a reasonably affordable price. It was the first use of compulsory licensing under Indian patent laws passed in 2005.

How can you tap into the wealth of social web data to discover who's making connections with whom, what they're talking about, and where they're located? With this expanded and thoroughly revised edition, you'll learn how to acquire, analyze, and summarize data from all corners of the social web, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, GitHub, email, websites, and blogs.
The example code for this unique data science book is maintained in a public GitHub repository. It's designed to be easily accessible through a turnkey virtual machine that facilitates interactive learning with an easy-to-use collection of IPython Notebooks.
Matthew Russell, Chief Technology Officer at Digital Reasoning, Principal at Zaffra, and author of several books on technology including Mining the Social Web (O'Reilly, 2013), now in its second edition. He is passionate about open source software development, data mining, and creating technology to amplify human intelligence. Matthew studied computer science and jumped out of airplanes at the United States Air Force Academy. When not solving hard problems, he enjoys practicing Bikram Hot Yoga, CrossFitting and participating in triathlons.
View Matthew A. Russell's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of Mining the Social Webis a groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as awoodchuck (a name derived from the Algonquin namewuchak). Groundhogs are famously associated with theUS/Canadian holiday Groundhog Day, held every February 2nd. Folklore holdsthat if the groundhog emerges from its burrow that day and sees its shadow,winter will continue for six more weeks. Proponents say that the rodentsforecast accurately 75 to 90 percent of the time. Many cities host famousgroundhog weather prognosticators, including Punxsutawney Phil (ofPunxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and the 1993 Bill Murray filmGroundhog Day). This legend perhaps originates from the fact that the groundhog is oneof the few species that enters true hibernation during the winter. Primarilyherbivorous, groundhogs will fatten up in the summer on vegetation, berries,nuts, insects, and the crops in human gardens, causing many people toconsider them pests. They then dig a winter burrow, and remain there fromOctober to March (although they may emerge earlier in temperate areas, or,presumably, if they will be the center of attention on their eponymousholiday). The groundhog is the largest member of the squirrel family, around16–26 inches long and weighing 4–9 pounds. It is equipped with curved, thickclaws ideal for digging, and two coats of fur: a dense grey undercoat and alighter-colored topcoat of longer hairs, which provides protection againstthe elements. Groundhogs range throughout most of Canada and northern regions of theUnited States, in places where open space and woodlands meet. They arecapable of climbing trees and swimming but are usually found on the ground,not far from the burrows they dig for sleeping, rearing their young, andseeking protection from predators. These burrows typically have two to fiveentrances, and up to 46 feet of tunnels. The cover image is from Wood's Animate Creatures,Volume 1.

A jewel to all level developers who want to master Python
By RBarbera
from Rio de Janeiro - Brasil
About Me Developer, Educator, Maker, Sys Admin
Comments about oreilly Mining the Social Web, 2nd Edition:
When using Python 3.5 and above, take care to small new syntax issues. For Windows users, install Anaconda and be happy. Supperb book and, with a bit of Git Hub comes and goes, and googling, I have all done. Really enjoyable and forward going. Thinking to translate to Portuguese Brazilian. We have no good books nore papers like this. Great job.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Integration w/ ipython notebook is A+
By jd
from NYC
Practical, good code examples (which work and which can be run via the companion ipython notebook) and well selected social web APIs/chapters.The ipython notebook integration is great. Providing a virtual machine where to run the ipynb is thoughtful and representative of the author's whole work, throughout. Thanks!Why 4 stars and not 5? Sometimes the book is a bit verbose - too much southern friendliness - us New Yorkers live in a hurry.

About Me Maker, Student
While learning how to mine social networks, the book teaches you Statistics and Analytics using Python.You will not only be mining FB and tweeter but also learning exploratory data analysis, how to geo plot data and cluster analysis. The book even deepens into natural language analytics in a few concise pages.The code and the virtual machine provided are very useful.The author is very active on github updating the code and helping novice readers like me.
Excellent start for mining the web.

About Me Developer, Sys Admin
I used this book to prepare for a data analytics Thesis project. The book is well written, the code is spot on, and the examples are a great starting point for broader projects. The GitHub page corresponding to this book has all of the files and content you need to get your lab going, and the book and corresponding materials guide you every step of the way. Over all, I am impressed with this book and its author.

Innovative BUT Failed on 2 Computers
By Warren
from Victoria, BC
About Me Designer, Maker
Market InnovationThis book uses, at its core, a couple of services to permit the reader to do code experiments using pre-written Python modules in a specially packaged format. The idea is that you install the two services required and then you can experiment to your heart's content with the code.The ProblemI don't know if this was my particular problem but - turns out that the services evolved - the code changes and then things that depend upon the service operating in a particular way no longer work. I believe this is what happened in my case - I installed the services on two different computers (on a Win 7 box and on a Win 8.1 box) and tried to run the code experiments, but nothing actually worked for me - I get errors. I get different error messages on both computers, but I cannot use any of the book's code. I do not have time to properly learn Python and do it myself, so what I have is a book that can make me aware of certain possibilities, but I can't interactively become engaged in the learning process.It really is an awesome concept and for innovation I give the author full marks!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Nir M
from Israel
About Me Developer, Product manager, Text Analytic Expert
This book includes a very clear and extensive mining techniques and samples.The book deals with all aspect of data mining!, it will take you from fetching of social network data using API's (Facebook, Twitter) as well as from other structure and unstructured sources (e.g emails, blog etc) through entity extraction and semantics going to samples of clustering and handling time-series analysis and finally even visualizing the results.The book is an amazing comprehensive source for many data mining use case and scenario.A MUST for novice and intermediate!

About us
The Umulliko Indigenous Higher Education Centre seeks a deeper level of framework, in which the past, present and future are combined to form a holistic Indigenous understanding.
In the language of the Awabakal people, Umulliko means 'to create, to make, to do'.
Umulliko is the primary focus of research and research training for The Wollotuka Institute. The ideals of Umulliko are grounded in what we refer to as 'an Indigenous framework of being'. By this we mean that, as Indigenous people, we take more than just a linear view of the history of Umulliko to this point in time.
In 1996 the University bid for special Commonwealth funding to establish an Indigenous Higher Education Research Centre. It had the strong support of the Indigenous Community. The bid was successful, Umulliko was created and at the time, it was the only Indigenous Higher Education Research Centre on the east coast of Australia. Since its inception, Umulliko has been well supported by the University and its story has been one of effort and achievement. Its researchers have had notable success in gaining Australian Research Council Indigenous Researcher Grants. A lot of effort has been put in to supervising research students and this has brought excellent results to date.
From the beginning Umulliko has been vibrant and innovative in its directions. It has a strong commitment to local Communities and national Indigenous issues.

The horror that is the Congo continued on its destructive path resulting in the death of thousands and rape and destruction engulfing millions of people. Former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, was asked by the United Nations to assume the role of attempting to mediate the madness that has become the Congo. He is trying to persuade Rwanda leaders to send negotiators to assist in the peace process. Meanwhile, UN forces have evacuated large areas in the Congo as rebel troops led by General Laurent Nkunda swept through areas killing, raping and looting even as retreating members of the Congo army killed, raped and looted on their way far from any fighting.
A UN convoy finally reached a camp that supposedly held thousands of refugees only to find it deserted since the people fled to avoid the oncoming slaughter of General Nkunda. Part of the problem is although nations contributed troops to the UN they are tied by restrictions not to engage in battle. Unfortunately, General Nkunda has no such restrictions.

Key benefits
FranceSource image: Sunset in Paris, France by Tommie Hansen / CC by 2.0
France has been slower than many of its EU counterparts to embrace a truly liberal business culture. At the same time, it has aggressively sought to attract foreign investment – and with considerable success. One result is that it is now very simple and straightforward to open a company in France, although local advice would be necessary to guarantee all legal and financial regulations are adhered to.

Now that AKBuilder has choke tube adapter for the Saiga, I wanted to find what kinds of chokes to use and when. If anyone has any more recommendations I'd love to hear them!
I found this site that has a concise overview of chokes:
ChokeTubes.com | Choke Tubes, Choke Tube Useage Guide, Choke Tube Information
Going from least to most restricted:
- good for skeet and "close up" heavy cover hunting
- all-around "middle" choke for waterfowl and small game hunting
- longest reach as it keeps the pattern the tightest
- waterfowl and Turkey hunting applications
- tight patterns "up to 40 yards"
In no case should slugs be shot out of modified or full chokes! You could destroy the barrel! Improved chokes *at most* and ideally full bore (aka no choke) for slugs. Best case - a "paradox" style rifled choke made expressly for slugs.
The old timer method of testing is if a dime will fall through the choke then it is OK for slugs - however more careful consideration should be made as it won't take much to blow up a gun with a slug that plugs the barrel!
Shot shouldn't be used in any rifled choke tube as it won't pattern correctly - the rifling will spin the shot everywhere! :)

Two British mothers whose sons died in Iraq told the House of Lords that former prime Minister Tony Blair deliberately lied to the nation and thus is responsible for the deaths of their children. Ms. Beverly Clarke and Mrs. Rose Gentle argue the Blair government breached their duty to members of Great Britain's armed forces by failing to ensure the invasion of Iraq was based on valid evidence. Rabinder Singh, who represents them in the House of Lords, argued: "The duty is owed to soldiers who are under the unique compulsory control of the state and have to obey orders. They have to put their lives in harms way because their nation demands it."
Mrs. Gentle summed up the issue concisely when she said: "I think Tony Blair sent our boys to war on a lie. This was not defending his country. The country was not under any threat of attack."
It is unfortunate we Americans lack a body which would listen to the pleas of parents about the lies of the Bush administration which sent thousands of Americans to their deaths on the basis of lies.

Douglas D. Baker, NIU's 12th chief executive officer, brings a rich background in business, organizational management and higher education leadership to DeKalb. As provost and executive vice president of the University of Idaho from 2005 to 2013, Dr. Baker guided the development, implementation and revision of the institution's strategic plan during a period of fiscal challenges.
Members of the Faculty Senate at the University of Idaho applauded Baker's work to shape and oversee a complex and collaborative academic program prioritization process that created a stronger and more efficient organization.
Born in Hood River, Oregon, and the son of two teachers, Baker earned bachelor's and master's degrees in business-industrial relations and management from Colorado State University. He earned his Ph.D. in business (organizational behavior and theory) in 1983 from the University of Nebraska.
His teaching career began in 1981 at Washington State University-Pullman, where he was an assistant professor of management. He eventually was appointed to lead the Office of Undergraduate Education and vice provost for academic affairs for the Washington State University system before being appointed executive vice president and provost at the University of Idaho.
Baker taught courses in management, organizational behavior, organizational design, strategic planning, human resource management and research methods.
He won MBA Faculty Teaching Excellence Awards – the honors were based on a vote of the MBA students – five times: Teacher of the Year (1992-93), Teacher of the Semester (Spring 1995, Spring 1993 and Fall 1990) and Outstanding Teacher (1989-90). He also won Shell Oil Distinguished (Undergraduate) Teaching Awards in 1990 and 1984 from the College of Business and Economics at Washington State University.
His research includes numerous publications on organization strategy and structure, motivation and leadership and sexual harassment. In 2010, he made conference presentations on "Transformation: A Tale of Successful Planning and Prioritizing" and "Strategic Planning and Implementation Under Fiscal Stress."
Baker's wife, Dana L. Stover, comes to NIU from the College of Business and Economics at the University of Idaho, where she served as assistant dean for Recruitment, Retention and Assessment. Stover joined the college's faculty in 1999 as an assistant professor and later was promoted to associate professor. She specializes in assurance of learning and assessment and pedagogical issues in management education, organizational design and organizational change.
The couple's eldest daughter, Hannah, is a 2012 graduate of The Evergreen State College. She works as a 3-D artist at Laika, an animation studio in Oregon. Their younger daughter, Robin, is a senior honors scholar at the University of Idaho with a major in biology with minors in statistics and natural resources.
As lovers of the outdoors, the Baker family owns a cabin in the Chain Lakes near the mouth of the Coeur d'Alene River in northern Idaho. All four enjoy flat-water kayaking and hiking; Dr. Baker also enjoys golfing and playing basketball.
Baker and Stover also are motorcycle enthusiasts; in the summer of 2012, the couple drove their imported cycles through Glacier National Park and the Canadian Rockies. The president, who began riding at age 14, rides an Italian Ducati. Stover rides a BMW. They share a Suzuki.

Thank you for helping make our site better.

This is a replacement ice maker. This assembly includes the ice mold and the control device. The water inlet valve pumps water into the mold, which stays there until it is frozen solid and ejected into the storage bucket. The process continues until the bucket is full. This replacement part does not include the cover, shut off arm, wire harness, or the mounting hardware. You will need to use the existing pieces, or order those separately. You will need a nut driver to successfully install this part. Unplug your appliance before you begin any repair work.
This part works with the following brands: Amana, Maytag, Admiral, Kenmore, Magic Chef, Jenn-Air, Crosley, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Litton, Hoover, International, Norge, Caloric, Gibson, Hardwick, General Electric, Dacor.
This part works with the following products: Refrigerator, Ice Maker.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Interior surface of ice tray felt rough & flaky (coating deteriorated) so cubes would not release.Unplug appliance.Remove timer cover by hand pressure @ edge.Remove single attachment screw & bracket at lower front of icemaker.Disconnect wiring harness from socket @ rear of compartment.Tricky part was determining what type of connection held the other two attachment points along the long edge of the icemaker. I did not have repair manual or useful drawing but looked @ PartsDirect pic of side brackets & used a small mirror to confirm that mine were also some sort of "snap in" attachment.Remove icemaker unit by pushing upward and outward on the unit. I takes a good bit of pressure and will pop loose, but be careful not to break attachment bracket from freezer wall.Scavenge shut off bar and wiring harness from old icemaker once you have it out & attach to new one before installing it back in freezer.Again, you might find a mirror useful to align those pesky snap-in brackets with the new unit.Since you probably kept your freezer running while waiting for the part, the plastic snap-ins will be cold and brittle. I warmed them up first by applying a dampened cloth heated in the microwave to make them a little more pliable.A good push of the new unit towards the snap-ins along with some upward force will get it stable.Reattach the metal screw in bracket & connect the wiring harness to rear plug... and don't forget to plug the whole thing back in.It will take awhile for the first batch of cubes dump as the timer may need to cycle completely around to get to the fill cycle... be patient.Dump the first couple of batches of cubes just to make sure you're free of any residue.

I removed the failed ice maker and performed a post-mortum to detemine the root-cause of the failure. Removal began with me reaching behind the icemaker and disconnecting the power to the icemaker. Then I removed the single screw that attached the supporting "L" bracket located on the bottom of the icemaker unit. I then carefully lifted the bottom of the icemaker away from the wall. This move disengaged the two plastic latching features that anchored the top of the icemaker to the refrigerator wall. I could then pull the unit out so that I could inspect it for the problem. I have had experience with failed icemakers of similar design in the past and there is a fundamental weakness in their design. The small electric motor that is used to activate the various steps involved in making the ice moves a set of copper finger contacts around a circular track. During this movement, these contacts frequently make and break the electrical circuit that turns on the small heating element that is used to lightly thaw the ice so that the extraction fingers can more easily sweep the latest batch of ice cubes from the ice making tray. This making and braking of contacts can occur several times a day. Over the lifespan of the icemaker, this making and braking of the contacts erodes the contact fingers and also builds up a residue of carbon that ultimately results in the loss of electrical contact between the fingers and the copper track that it normally rides upon. Once the electrical contact is lost, the icemaking process comes to a grinding halt.Installing the replacement icemaker was a breeze. I just reversed the order of the previous steps and after reconnecting the power cable to the icemaker, it was back in the icemaking business. Of course there was a waiting period of approximately one hour before any ice was forthcoming since the new icemaker had to cold soak before it was ready to make the first batch. It has made ice consistenly since the installation.
replaced witha new ice maker and It works but does not nake the ice as fast as the old one? any sugestions?ED. Get answers to your repair questions at our forums, forums.partselect.com.
unplugged refrigerator and shut off water, removed one screw and loosened two more, after removing one side of the ice bucket rail, unplugged electrical from old ice maker. Then I removed the bail and out on new one, reinstalled ice maker in reverse order from taking it out.
My ice maker has been shedding its non-stick coating for over a year. Within the last month of so, it started pouring water into the ice bucket below, turning it into a solid mass of ice. So I purchased a new ice maker assembly. I encountered two problems not mentioned in the 21 or so do-it-yourselfer repair stories that precede this one. First problem: one of the three screws that hold the ice maker to the refrigerator wall is hidden behind the large (black) end of the ice maker and is difficult to access. Before trying to replace the ice maker, make sure you have the physical dexterity to remove that screw. Second problem: it is not apparent how to remove the wire harness that plugs into the ice maker assembly. BEFORE you can remove the wire harness, you MUST remove the large white cap that covers the black end of the ice maker assembly and then push in a retaining tab to release the wire harness. If you don't do this, the wire harness will not release. Other than those two problems, it was relatively easy to remove three screws, unplug the wire harness, transfer three small, metal parts from the old ice maker to the new, plug in the new wire harness, mount the ice maker assembly so that the water tube is in the proper position, and then re-install the three screws. The ice maker works fine now. (P.S. I was told by an expert that the real problem might be a malfunctioning fill valve. I would have replaced the fill valve if replacing the ice maker assembly had not fixed the problem.)
Parts were available at the locat applicance store, but the cost was 20-25% higher than ordering through Parts Select (including shipping) + it was delivered in 3 days right to the house.Removing and replacing the ice maker was fairly straight forward. Tight quarters to work in, but managable.1. With the freezer turned off, uplug the ice maker power cable at the back of the freezer. 2. Remove the four phillips head screws and ice bucket rail to the side of the freezer. I found it was easier to re-install the new ice maker with the rail clear off. 3. Loosen the two upper hex head screws holding the ice maker (requires a nut driver).4. Lift the ice maker up and off of the upper screws.5. With the ice maker out of the freezer, remove the power cable from the old ice maker and re-install on the new ice maker. At this point, both the front cover and the on/off lift bar can be transfered from the old ice maker to the new one.6. Slip the new ice maker down over the two upper screws making sure the lower mounting tab is behind the ice bucket rail. Make sure the hole on lower mounting tab lines up with screw hole. 7. Re-install the ice bucket rail and tighten all screws. Make sure the water supply tube is lined up correctly feeding into the ice maker. 8. Re-connect ice maker power cable at the back of freezer and turn freezer back on.It took about 4 hours for the first ice to generate. It cycled normally after that. No more leaks or ice globs in the ice bucket.
Installed new ice maker. It was easy - loosen two screws and unplug old wire harness. Put new unit in place. Did not realize new unit would not come with wire harness, but transferred old one to new ice maker (easy) and, "voila" some ice in 24 hours -- much ice since then. I am a 68 year old woman and it was "sort of fun" doing this job.
I didn't know what the plastic was - just that it was unappetizing. Reading other posts, it must have been the teflon coating. The refrigerator is 13 years old and reading other posts, I guess I'm lucky it lasted that long.My boyfriend did the repair and here is his story: The first ice maker we received was cracked on one corner. Not knowing how it got that way, I was concerned that there might be additional internal damage and that the unit wouldn't work properly. Part Select was contacted and a replacement unit was sent with no difficulty. As other reviewers have said, the replacement was quite easy, taking less than half an hour. The only tools I needed were a screwdriver and a nut driver. To begin, unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply to the ice maker. Loosen, but do not remove, the two top attachment screws. Then remove the bottom screw. Lift the unit up off the top screws and remove the water inlet hose at the top right. It's probably a good idea to have a container handy to catch the small amount of water that comes out, but you'll need a third hand for this. The electrical wiring harness is very short and may be tricky to disconnect. On my refrigerator there is a round vinyl connector that plugs into a receptacle on the back wall of the freezer compartment directly behind the ice maker. This was removed with no difficulty (accidently, actually). Once the unit is out of the refrigerator you can remove the connector from the ice maker by using a screwdriver to depress the latch tab that is visible in a window in the unit housing. When installing the connector in the new unit make sure it is fully seated. Next, reconnect the round vinyl connector to the receptacle on the back wall of the freezer compartment. This was the worst part of the whole procedure. You have to support the unit close to the back of the freezer (due to the short harness) with one hand while inserting the connector with the other. This requires both arms in a confined space. The first time I did it I apparently didn't get a good electrical connection on one end of the harness, and it didn't work. Because the connectors are directly behind the ice maker I had to remove the unit and re-install it, but it was much quicker the second time, less than 10 minutes. Once the connectors are in place put the water inlet hose into the opening at the top right. You may need to re-use the retaining clip from the old unit for this. Slide the two top mounting ears down between the screw heads and the back wall of the freezer compartment and tighten the screws. Then install the bottom screw. Plug in the refrigerator, turn on the water and make yourself a frosty beverage. All in all, a relatively quick and painless procedure.Another note - we kept saying "is there ice yet"? I think the metal bar that controls the ice maker needed to be raised and lowered a few times before it would work properly as it seemed to raise 1/2 way but the ice would not drop so I put it down and it worked its way up. Had to do it a couple of times over a 4 hour span but once going, it is working like a champ.
I found a similar problem in your forum and desided to give it a shot. The evaporator fan had stop working. It took me a while to find it but I discovered it inside the bottom drawer. I took off the drawer to make it easy to get to. I took off the back cover and there it was. I unplug it and replaced it with the new one which did not look like it at all but since it was the one that I received I pluged it and it worked. I was very satisfied. Thank you again for helping save money.
First I removed the Ice bin, I then loosened the ice bin rail under the ice maker and removed the screw that attached the bottom of the ice maker to the side of the fridge. I unplugged the power to Ice Maker from the back of the fridge and unscreewed the two screws that secured the ice maker to the fridge. This allowed the Ice Maker to be removed from the fridge. To replace the new ice maker I simply repeated the steps in reverse.
First I removed the 14.3 tons of freezer contents, closed the water valve, shut off the juice, and removed the freezer bins, the freezer door and the three screws that held the element in place. After bringing in 397 hand tools from my garage inventory, I loosened the unit and, after extensive evaluation, I finally disconnected the wiring connector from its freezer rear wall connector counterpart. You ain't gonna believe the rest of my story--of total ineptitude by an experienced fix-it-yourself dummy. I searched the internet for a replacement ice maker and found it at partselect.com. I called Sears to ask if I could add my refrigerator to my existing appliance repair account. Sears said sure--it would cost me only one arm, three toes and one grandchild. I abruptly declined their magnanimous offer—I don't give up my arms and toes so easily.I visited the local Maytag repair parts and service retailer, who advised they didn't do parts anymore. Expecting their repair price would be greater than Sears, I resorted to partselect.com. I called them to be assured what I was buying was not mistakenly a 747 Landing Gear. On the afternoon (West Coast) of 4/28/10, I ordered (via internet) one PS21215123 Ice Maker Assy. Much to my pleasant surprise, it arrived via FedEX on 4/30/10 (no freight charges to me). My repair/replacement efforts were hampered by the effects of my right rotator cuff surgery a few months before and major left wrist surgery two months ago to remove fractured bones and torn ligaments. Undaunted by my physical handicaps, I forged forward. After re-installing the unit, I turned the water supply and electricity back on. It was graveyard dead. I wisely then bought two bags of ice as an interim solution to the severe needs of my wife and me for our daily chilled evening cocktails. I removed the unit, checked it out and re-installed it. I bought two more bags of ice. All the while, I turned the water and electricity off and on as required by reasonable safety standards. High tediousness!Several more home maintenance tasks then arose for Sergeant Super Fixer, but I returned to the ice maker problem on 4/8/10. Last chance--remove the device and insure there was no frozen ice in the inlet tube--or call the local partsless repairman. No ice found, but I did learn the wiring connector to the unit was awry--no contact! While explaining that to my wife, I realized the two upper mounting screws were intended to be partially installed into the freezer wall to accommodate the unit's slotted mounting holes! Then, tighten the screws. Oh my God! During my 143 installations and removals, I had installed those screws blindly--using the (handicapped) skills of my right and left hands without any benefit of direct eyesight.I returned to my challenging project this morning (4/9/10), fully utilizing all the expertise I had gained yesterday. Fifteen minutes of amusing effort! Turn on the juice! Turn on the water!Two hours later, ice cubes were dropping into the bin like rhinoceros bisquits in the jungle. Hallelujah! I now am free for the next challenge! HINT: Put a bed pillow (an old one, or your wife's) in the freezer compartment to soften the harshness of its cold metal on your back, if you use the "crawl in on your back" approach.
Philips head screwdriver and ten minutes was all it took! I removed the two screws that hold the icemaker assembly in place, then pulled it out a little and disconnected the electrical plug freeing the icemaker assembly. Then I snapped the external parts off my old icemaker assembly and snapped them on the new icemaker assembly. Installing the new icemaker assembly was just as fast and easy. I snapped the electrical plug into the new icemaker assembly, then screwed in the two screws. It was making ice shortly thereafter. Glob free ice! I'm glad I didn't call a repairman. I probably saved a hundred bucks. A ten year old could accomplish this simple and easy task. No wonder the Maytag repairman has time on his hands.
Pantry Cover: I just slided out the tray, and unscrewed the left pantry panel that was broken, and replaced it with the new one, then put in the new cover after sliding the trays back in.Ice Maker:I unplugged the power connector in the back, unscrewed the ice maker with a flat screw driver (3 screws), slide it out, and then unplugged the wiring from the old ice maker and put it into the new one, mounted the new ice maker back in, make sure the lever is working, and then closed the freezer to let it cool down so that water can start flowing to it when it becomes cold enough (took about a good hour or so before water started filling the ice maker). Once the freezer was cold enough, water started filling the ice maker, and it begin making ice again.
The new Ice Maker Assembly arived in less than 24 hours. I was amazed that it came so fast. I had already removed the old ice maker in order to get the modle number. I just took two parts off of the old ice maker and quickly snapped them into place on the new ice maker. Then attached it to the refrigerator in less than 10 minutes. With in a few hours I had ice again !!!!! I would definatly use partselect.com again.
The old icemaker had a bad motor and would stall in the fill cycle causing my kitchen to flood on occasion.The new one was so quiet, I thought it didn't work!Anyway, one nutdriver and 5 minutes and I had the new one in there... It is so quiet, and I always have plenty of ice now!!!Thanks!!!
