Ok folks after nearly 3-4 years of putting it off I have finally decided to re-paint my MSH2 bucket. I did it up in pre-pro2 style originaly but I used the ESB colors (except for the uppercheaks) and I was never totally happy with it. I didn't want to re-paint it since I liked how it came out and wasn't sure I could do it quite as good. But since 07 is a massive year for my upgrades (new armor, vest, girthbelt,gloves, probally a jumpsuit and most of all my weight/body shape) I decided that it was finally time. So First is a pic of how it looked before today, and the next three are about 2/3 of the way through the process. I will turn this into a progress thread on this bucket.
Oh and it will still be painted up in pre-pro2 style but this time with more accurate colors.

solutions. Can this combination deliver better outcomes and
better use of tax payer dollars?

Kieffe & Sons Ford Displays new Ford Concept Car
18 comments:
- J W Horne said...
Your concept car is funny and I suppose you think you are too. By the way I am the guy that wrote and produced the radio spot. I think it is amazing how people such as you and others find the truth offensive. Perhaps it is just your way of calling attention to yourself so that you can justify your life. I know that you will probably find this offensive too, but for your information, Kieffe and Sons ford have had overwhelming support from Americans all over the country.. the positive responses run about 86 percent.. isn't that amazing?
- 27 May 2008 at 16:52
Hey, Horne, here's a little diddy you apparently have forgotten, or never learned:
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Truth? In order for something to be true, shouldn't it be based in fact? Dictionary.com's first definition of True: "being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact; not false". Since when has the bible, the "spoken word," the Almighty, etc, ever been proven to be true? All evidence thus far has shown Christianity (and most religions) to be based on a collection of fables written by a few dozen men, spanning a few centuries, several millenia ago, then cherry picked by a few dozen more men centuries later and cobbled together to form a book, only to be translated and re-translated from language to language altering the original meaning of the fables at least slightly, if not grotesquely. Where is the truth? I see nothing but fables and myths handed down through generations, certainly nothing to prove there is a god(s) of any kind floating around Universe. Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. They have just as much truth as religion and god(s).
Using the same argument religions use: An invisible, fire breathing dragon lives in my garage. It's the truth! Prove me wrong.
'religion is nothing more than mythology poeple still believe in.'

I love it! You are correct, the Truth is no longer welcome or acceptable. I applaud your efforts. We're not going to take it anymore. The truth is alive and well. Keep those spots running!

".. the positive responses run about 86 percent.. isn't that amazing?"
Not really seeing as you claim 86% believe in God and 86% are Christians (meaning Jews and Muslims either do not exist in this country or are all either athiest or christian) and now you claim your commercial has according to you 86& approval rating. Seems to me you just like the number 86. Seems like a good one to spout out when you make up statistics. What percentage of the earth's surface is water? 86%. What portion of american families make over $20,000 per year? 86%. Under $100,000 per year? 86%. Percentage of insects with wings? 86%. Americans who believe in God? 86%. Are Christians? 86% Graduated high school? 86% Didn't graduate high school? 86% Support the war in Iraq? 86% Oppose the war in Iraq? 86%. Those all sound pretty good, don't they? Anyone can make stuff up and make it sound good.

- deborahenger said...
You are correct, Scott, religion has lots of flaws. But it's not about religion, for religion is man-made. It's about developing and maintaining a personal relationship with a living, breathing, GOD, who love's you, whether or not you believe in Him.
- 27 May 2008 at 19:41
Deborahenger... I had relationships of sorts with make believe friends when I was 6 years old, but I gave those up when I grew up and realized: They don't exist. But, then again I do have that dragon living in my garage. He exists, doesnt he? Probably has as good a chance of existing as any god.

The original piece from Paul Harvey stated 86% of ALL people believe in GOD. That means what it says. 86% of ALL people believe in GOD, so no, beep, your wrong, ALL people means ALL people, no one cares what color or religion. That leave 14% of people who do not believe in GOD. Very simple

HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY for Paul Harvey. I myself have been grumbling and wondering how a handful of people have been able to take our right to pray in public places away from us. So, agreeing with Paul, I GLADLY will forward this email AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Folks, this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA
Get Ready
Keep this going around the globe ... read it and forward every time you receive it. We can't give up on this issue.
Paul Harvey and Prayer
Paul Harvey says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.
But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting?
If I went t o a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
But what about the atheists? Is another argument.
What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.
The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority rules! It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take OUR rights away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!
God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him , God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

deb -
do you know that you CAN pray in public spaces? You can pray in public school if you want. You can pray anywhere. There can be organized prayer before football games or have God bless America at baseball games because the NFL and MLB are PRIVATE organizations, which can make their own rules. So PRIVATE organizations can have prayers, and YOU as an INDIVIDUAL can pray anywhere in public you want.
But the school cant MAKE you pray. Government officials CANNOT be saying a prayer as part of their proceedings, because that would imply a preference to a religion, which the 1st amendment protects against.
You are Paul Harvey are obviously clueless.
"Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles."
Well, I would ask you Deb and Paul to read the CONSTITUTION, which is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, and is actually a totally SECULAR document. IF this is a Christian country, why wouldn't the founders have included Christianity in the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.
This is the point. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION DEB? Put the Bible down and PAY ATTENTION! Atheists do not want to stop you from praying in public. Atheists tend to be free thinkers and believe in liberty, freedom of speech, the marketplace of ideas, etc. What atheists are AGAINST is GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED prayer/religion/etc.
Again - YOU CAN PRAY IN PUBLIC WHEREVER, WHENEVER. If you are on PRIVATE property, people have the right to kick you out, just like a Church could kick ME out for going around its property and telling people there is no God. You can pray anywhere but the government cannot sanction or advocate prayer. Get your head out of the sand. Get a clue.

Debra Henger says:
"The original piece from Paul Harvey stated 86% of ALL people believe in GOD." And I'd like to thank her for citing the origin of J W Horne's statistic.
However, I wish to point out J W Horne still mangled the statistic and stated "86% are christians and believe in God". This is clearly impossible as there are clearly several millions of jews, muslims, and other non-Christians in America who believe in God so the entire 86% can not be all Christians.
Debra Hengar then says:
"how a handful of people have been able to take our right to pray in public places away from us"
Nobody is or can take away your right to pray privately to yourself and/or your willing companions. However you do not have the right and never have had the right to initiate a large public prayer for a public event involving unwilling participants. This is as it should be. I'd like to draw Debora Hengor to Mathew Chapter 6 verse 6:
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Anyhow as to the piece by Paul Harvey:
Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles.
This is patently false. When asked why The Constitution made no reference of God Alexander Hamilton is reported to have replied that the United States was not in need of "foreign aid". Humerous that, no? God is foreign to the united states?
Thomas Jefferson once wrote: "The hocus-pocus phantasy of a God, like another Cerberus, ..., had its birth and growth in the blood of thousands and thousands of martyrs."
Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson s Works, Vol. IV, 360,
Refering to God a a "hocus-pocus phantasy" hardly sounds like the words of the founder of a Christian Nation.
John Adams: "As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?"
and good old irrascable Thomas Paine says bluntly: "The Christian system of religion is an outrage on common sense."
And if we need a legal act or official statement, the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli unequivically states "The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation". The treaty was endorsed and signed by John Adams and ratified by the Senate unanimously. There was no dissent or votes against!
Paul Harvey:
If I went t o a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
Then if you go to a secular country such as the United States, you should expect to hear no prayer. And you shouldn't be offended. It shouldn't bother you one bit.
Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.
Yes, and it tells you to do so in your closet, with your door shut, and in secret. What's more:
Mathew: 6-5:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Admittedly football stadiums are ommitted from the verse but considering the date that isn't suprising.
So let's score:
Supporting our side: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, The Holy Bible, The Constitution of the United States, and The Treaty on Tripoli.
Supporting your side: A car salesman and a guy named Paul Harvey.

Looks like we had our effect:
Car dealer regrets ads urging non-Christians to 'sit down and shut up'
An interesting note within here is this: "Kieffe and Sons has contracted the same Oklahoma ad producer for 12 to 15 years, Kieffe said. Most of the ads are humorous but a minority are patriotic, "flag-waving" messages that don't necessarily push car sales, he said.
The thing is, the 'sit down and shut up' is most decidedly not patriotic and flag-waving. Nothing on earth could be less patriotic than for some-one to say to a minority religious belief "there's more of us so just sit down and shut up; we'll always be the majority so I don't give a flip what you think".
This idea that those with good old fashioned religious values are some-how more patriotic than we vocal objectors becomes particularly galling when we go back and actually read what our country was founded upon. The seperation of Church and state and the freedom to chose one's own religion and never have to give into the values of a magority was foremost in our founders mind.
And those who'd demand that we all mouth their prayers in our schools and should sit back and accept public application of their religion in all public occurances whether relevent or not have the unimitigated gall to call us unpatriotic?
It's disgusting is what it is!
'sit down and shut up' may be "flag-waving" (in the worst sense of the concept) in that it is hiding behind a colorful distraction and ignoring all implication and thought. But patriotic? Never!
- 28 May 2008 at 17:36
well well well woozy.. I still think it is funny that you will find time for this subject. You must be quite lonely. What will be your subject once this one dies out? As for me, this is the last bit of time that I am going to spend on this site and any others that pertain to this matter. I really don't mind being above ground and on the radar screen. TA TA.
- 28 May 2008 at 18:58
Hey Horne,
Question for you. Do you think 86% of Americans would go to Heaven. I suspect not. You see, this statistic works for you when you want to use it this way but what you fail to consider is that some of those people are Jews and Muslims and probably even GAYS. But I'm pretty sure you think they're going to hell.
I believe in God. But I would never support a business that so disrespectfully spoke to 1% of the population, let alone "14%."
Also, if I were you, I wouldn't claim that I wrote this. Actually Andy Rooney wrote (or "borrowed" from someone else) most of it and aired it on 60 Minutes in his "Did You Know" segment.
- 28 May 2008 at 19:19
As for me, this is the last bit of time that I am going to spend on this site and any others that pertain to this matter.
I highly suspect you are lying to both those here, and yourself.
but if not, then good, as your responses contain nothing of substance.
- 28 May 2008 at 19:31
- woozy said...
"well well well woozy.. I still think it is funny that you will find time for this subject."
I find bad logic and faulty arguments excedingly compelling and will persue them viciously. When bad logic and faulty arguments are used to support assinine, bigoted, and totalitarian homilies then I find them that much more compelling.
"You must be quite lonely."
I am but I'm in good company.
"What will be your subject once this one dies out?"
Oh, I don't know. I'm sure someone somewhere's going to deny the halocaust, defend the Bell Curve, or say ".99999..... approaches but never reaches 1 so it's always a little less than 1" soon.
"As for me, this is the last bit of time that I am going to spend on this site and any others that pertain to this matter. I really don't mind being above ground and on the radar screen. TA TA."
Uh, as you're anonymous that statement doesn't really pack much weight.

Hey J W Horne, it looks like you might not have any more buisness from Kieffe & Sons. It seems that they are claiming that they aired the ad without reviewing it and they don't approve of the ad. Or else that is what they are claiming.
- 28 May 2008 at 23:34
- woozy said...
I looks like Mr. Horne couldn't take the heat and has removed his blog with it's 73+ postings (with a record all negative). Seems we managed a good old fashion ass-reaming. I didn't really wish him harm; just wanted him to see the error of his ways. I just can't stand bad logic and flimsy arguments and wanted to see if he really believed anyone can believe what they want but can't force their believes on others, can he really not see that prayers in school and "god" on our money is exactly that?

Filing Your FAFSA
Filing a Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA
Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly referred to as the FAFSA, is the key to determining whether you are eligible for federal, state, and institutional financial aid such as grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans.
Even if you think you may not qualify for federal aid, the information you provide on the FAFSA is often the basis for determining non-need based aid eligibility. WKU requires a student complete the FAFSA before he/she can be employed on campus.
Because financial and family circumstances can change from year to year, you must complete the FAFSA each year that you need aid.
To log into certain U.S. Department of Education websites including www.fafsa.ed.gov you will need an FSA ID. To create an FSA ID (user name and password) please follow the steps here.
To renew the FAFSA online—Go to FAFSA on the Web or http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and log in with your FSA ID to access your original FAFSA. The answers from your original application are prefilled, and you need to enter only the information that has changed.

The way to make sure your Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) is processed quickly is to fill it out on the FAFSA Web site as soon after January 1 as possible.
It's fast. You will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) within 2 weeks (or only three to five days if a student e-mail address is provided).It's secure. When FAFSA information is transmitted over the Internet, it is completely secure. The same technology that protects credit card transactions over the Internet is used to make sure that your data remains confidential. In fact, sending an application over the Internet is as safe as mailing a paper form.It's easy. You are asked only the questions you need to answer. Questions that don't apply to you are skipped, making the online application quick to fill out. Extensive online help is also available.It's accurate.

By listing Western Kentucky University (Title IV Code: 002002) on your FAFSA, we will receive your information electronically for award processing.
Deadline for FAFSA
Complete your application as soon after January 1 as possible. Because some aid programs are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, an early application receives priority consideration for limited funding sources, such as the Kentucky state grant CAP.

As Alan siad Oz, the bees will clean it up. Did you freeze the frames before you cleaned them up?
Would anyone say that cleaning up the frames before giving them to the bees would save them time that could be spent on more productive tasks or is there enough division of labor in the hives that it wouldn't matter? Will giving them this extra work eventually result in less honey for example?

Post subject: Coyotes
In case people haven't noticed, there have been a couple of articles recently regarding coyotes in and around the metro area. Although I am not aware of any serious incidents, it sounds like they are losing their fear of humans. I have seen one while out caching in Joy Park in the NE metro area and 5 were recently trapped in Laddie Lake Park in Blaine where I have placed a cache. Take care out there.

They have been a nuisance in the Metro area for a number of years, especially in parks. Their mating season is in January and continues into February and that's when they are most aggressive.
Sad state of affairs.

I deal with moose walking down my driveway to take a drink in the lake, how about deer running past my window and going up on the road and seeing fresh cougar tracks in the dirt? how about bear strolling within a few feet of me in my chair or a fox quietly passing by within a foot or two when I was in a swinging chair or a Martin hissing at me from a cedar tree outside my back door, or a cub bear tearing up our wood pile to get the ants while we sit about 6 ft away and drink our morning beverages - or wolves walking along the beach or lying on the ice sunning themselves? They are not invading us- we are invading their land- with the forests being harvested and dwellings being built- they are going to gravitate to urban areas where there is plenty of trash/garbage for them to eat. Lose their fear of humans? We are not on their food chain, they are on ours- and most of the time these animals will avoid humans when possible. For the times you do see a wild animal- there are many more you don't see because they saw you first and left. ah heck- I guess I have just lived in the woods too long- I fear a human more than any of those above animals-

I agree about the people being more to worry about than the animals. I have to admit that I haven't seen a coyote while we have been out caching but have seen mountain lion tracks on the trail with us and rumor control says that wolves have been displaced from the parks (Yellowstone and Teton) out into the mountain ranges that we live by. I guess the moral of the story is the way to control coyotes is to bring in mountain lions and wolves. Grizzle bears will also keep coyotes away but also have to admit that they keep me away too so I guess I am no better than a coyote but am at least as smart as one

I was walking throught the woods in SW metro two days ago when all of a sudden a coyote took off running away from me. She was only about four feet away and behind a tree when I must have scared her. After checking and confirming thankfully that my pants were still clean, I walked around the tree to see where she had been sleeping. Another shock was in store. The tree has a hole in it and a giant empty cavity inside. I take a slow moment to figure out that she must have been inside the tree. Just then, I saw something inside the tree move, and I almost lose it again thinking that another coyote is about to pile out of the tree and go Cujo on me. I then realized that the momma coyote had abandoned the tree in an attempt to draw my attention away from it. Inside the tree were four very very young newborn coyote pups not even able to walk yet. So of course I stick my camera up to the tree hole and snap a couple of shots before quickly getting out of the area. Thank goodnes daddy coyote wasn't in there!

Gilby, love to see the pics if you wouldn't mind sharing.
In Eden Prairie, I've heard about them since I moved to EP little more than 4 years ago. In that time I've only seen them about 10 times though I hear them occasionaly at night. In Feb of 2007 my mother-in-law was up and threw some stale breakfast bars in the backyard, I saw 4 the next morning and 6 two days later. Other than that the only time I've only seen multiple coyotes twice and it's been two both times. I haven't had any issues with them - they've always scattered. The deer on the other hand tend to just stay and keep an eye on you. lol
I have a few shots at:
if people are interested.
According to the city and police, they haven't had any issues in Eden Prairie.

I was geocaching in Lakeville last night after dark. After finishing up Arctic's cache we were heading back down the trail to the parking area. In the distance, between us and the opening in the woods to the parking lot, there were 5-6 coyotes standing about .15 in front of us. When (I think) they realized we were there they scattered around the other side of the small treeline, almost like they wanted to come back around at our flank. I doubt we were being hunted but it sure made us feel nervous for a bit.

they are really curious. They used to come up the edge of the fire when we were out (western ND) and hang to see what we were doing. Didn't see very aggressive but really smart and curious. They have a pretty high level of rabies in Texas but other than that they are just an all around, smart, rodent killing machine.

Where I live we have coyotes all the time (not in the metro). We hear them yipping and talking at night and it's very nice.
At my parents' in north Anoka, I'd see them every once in a while. Not so much anymore. See more possums than anything. Bleh.

Smithsonian Carmen Lúcia Pendant
Item #40199
Sale Price: $99.99
Original Price: $135.00
Availability: Out of stock. This item is no longer available for purchase.
- Description
- Reviews
Sparkle Irresistibly. The Smithsonian Carmen Lúcia Jewelry is a reproduction of the spectacular 23.1-carat Burmese ruby ring, donated in 2004 by philanthropist Peter Buck in memory of his wife, Carmen Lúcia. A faceted Austrian crystal replicates the ruby's extraordinary color and brilliance; trillion-cut cubic zirconia mimic the original's two triangular-cut diamonds. We commissioned the Smithsonian Carmen Lúcia Pendant to create an ensemble of legendary beauty. Sterling silver base, sterling silver chain, all genuine rhodium plated. 1"l. with 18"l. chain and spring ring clasp.
Museum Provenance
Gems accumulate history. The very stone that once adorned a king or queen might today be set in someone's cocktail ring. (The history of the Hope Diamond includes a stint in the French Crown Jewels, a daring theft, two recuttings, and purchase by an English king.) The astonishing replica collections presented on these next pages—a mere sampling of the extraordinary holdings in our National Museum of Natural History's National Gem Collection—let you dazzle in their reflected glory.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

I just logged back into Lunia about a month ago, after several years of absence, and I was just in awe at the murder that took place over at IJJI; the storyline is jumbled, the maps have been transformed into garbage, the latency is terrible now and the cash shop consists of items that can give you skills in half the levels and beyond the maximum limits.
The rebirth system just makes it diabolical for new players, everyone is 15+ rebirth and have mega-mega-mega-mega stats, so they can pretty much one shot bosses now. Then again, that's not saying much since there's only a population of about 200 now, if that. (Online at one time.)
Exactly how could IJJI do this to a terrific game and why would they?

Amid Sinking Market Share RIM Bets Big on New BlackBerry OS
Jason Mick
October 18, 2011 2:42 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
BB OS is out, BBX is in
Recent reports from market research firms have revealed that Waterloo, Ontario based Canadian smartphone maker Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) is
losing customers
not only on a percentage basis, but also on a per unit basis in the U.S. Adding to the company's woes, it recently experienced
a major international outage
that left BlackBerry users without email or messaging service.
But the company had some good news to announce, this week
airing "BBX"
, its next generation BlackBerry operating system, at its
keynote address. The new operating system supports both native and web apps.
On the web app side, there's built in support for Android Java applications, much like
the RIM Playbook
. This is critical as it gives new BlackBerries access to literally hundreds of thousands of new apps. HTML5 web apps are also fully supported.
On the native apps side, there's a new Native SDK. There's a new GUI SDK -- Cascade UI with support for 3D animations and more. RIM is offering support for 100 commonly used open source libraries, including the popular multithreading library POSIX. And for native apps RIM is also adding new deep integration to the company's push and BlackBerry Mail (BBM) services.
RIM President and Co-CEO.Mike Lazaridis was on hand to announce BBX
[Source: RIM]
Adobe Inc.'s (
) Flash and Air apps are fully supported.
The new operating system will be available on new BlackBerries and will be available as an OS upgrade for the PlayBook and future tablets. An early build is available via the "BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 Developer Beta."
The base code of the operating system comes from QNX, the OS currently used in the RIM PlayBook, but borrows literally from RIM's own BlackBerry OS. QNX was first released in 1982 by a fellow Waterloo firm, and was purchased in 2004 by Harman International Industries (
). Then in 2010 RIM scooped up the OS-maker, reaching an agreement to buy it from Harman.
The new OS will be installed on both RIM's tablets and its BlackBerry smartphones.
[Source: Berry Review]
Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM, cheered the fruit of that acquisition, stating, "With nearly 5 million BlackBerry apps downloaded daily, our customers have made BlackBerry one of the most profitable platforms for developers. At DevCon today, we're giving developers the tools they need to build richer applications and we're providing direction on how to best develop their smartphone and tablet apps as the BlackBerry and QNX platforms converge into our next generation BBX platform."
Some employees and investors have recently expressed skepticism [
] about the leadership at RIM. Nonetheless, with
increasingly attractive hardware
, and a reinvigorated OS effort, RIM just may have what it takes to pull off a turnaround.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Wittind Early Origins
Roxburghshire in the lands of Whitton, in Morebattle parish. The first on record was John Wytton, prior of St. Andrews in 1285 A.D. Michael and Adam Wytton both rendered homage to King Edward I of England in his brief conquest of Scotland in 1296. Michael was chief forester of the Forest of Selkirk. His seal showed a deer running. Richard Wyttone, a dignitary of the Church also rendered homage.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|That's a really good idea, thanks!
This is what I do. I use this extra tank.
I run regulated air at about 40 PSI, through the red hose, and the filter into the tank. Any water after the filter goes to the bottom of the tank and stays there. I take clean air out of the fitting with the blue hose.
Using the compressor mounted regulator allows the air to expand and cool before entering the compressor end of the red hose. This lets some of the water vapor to condense out in the red hose, so the water trap can catch it. No water trap will stop water vapor in hot air, and when the air cools water will condense out of the compressed air.
This is my old Sears 3 HP compressor.
By using the dump tank, it is possible to paint with this LPHV gun. The compressor cycles on and off when painting, and so far, the compressor actually spends more time off than on. But I have only painted smaller parts, and single panels so far.
Reducing water from compressed air for painting
I know this has been gone through before but I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I am getting ready to run my lines for my shop air and I'm trying to figure out what filters I should use to reduce the largest amount of moisture without going for an air dryer or refrigeration unit. I plan on plumbing the system to have plenty of ball valves to release pooled water; I am really just trying to figure out what types of filters to use. I have heard of using different filters in series but I'm really not too sure which to put where. I will be doing a bit of media blasting and maybe some painting but most likely nothing major. I have a good pipe system mapped out to reduce the max amount of moisture before it ever reaches a filter. I can upload an image of the pipes at a later time I just don't have that file on this computer. So what are you using? Does it work well? Any info would be appreciated.

I saw what is probably the best James Bond film I have ever seen. With the exception of a few Bonds, the film's within the franchise have been about cliche and are examples of poor filmmaking. (Acouple of the old ones are worth watching + Casino Royale + Goldeneye)
This movie was excellent. Every single Bond film was referenced in a clever way not to mention the story in iteself was brillant. It could be a film without Bond in it and thats what I was looking for in a Bond movie.
The weapons of the film were good. Luckily Bond is still now downgraded from that stupid P99 to the PPK/s. Glocks were the main sidearms in the film, aside one styer pistol M9-A1. There was classic flintlock pistols of unknown origin, I think an Ardesa possibley...
Bond films are known for action, but if you really like action movies like me you will notice they often lack good action and are usually short lived sequences. If you like guns see this movie. Finally a Bond movie with enough action in it. Good action finally in a Bond film. The story and plot are very relevent and make the film worth seeing as well unlike the convoluted bunch of films you may know.

Oushak (also spelt as Ushak) rugs originated in the small town of West Central Anatolia, which is part of Istanbul, Turkey. Originally woven by nomads and used as essential necessities, the oushak rugs became known for their beautiful designs and quality and became the favored rugs of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th century. Oushak also become a production centre for the Oushak rugs which were known for their beautiful designs and the quality made from silky wool. The signature designs are the star and the medallion rugs which originated from Oushak. Till today, Oushak rugs are regarded as one of the most favored types of oriental rugs and carpets.
Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better. Use these handy guides by Interior Designer Lisa Ferguson to make the best choice.

We're not sure what to say about this one, except for the fact that it's just sad. A man robbed another man inside a church in Washington, DC. You can see on the video, as the man walks inside the church. He is then followed by another man, who runs up behind him. Just seconds later, you see the robber coming out of the building with a bag that once belonged to the other man.

The Cro-Magnon classification was given to a European race of humans estimated to have lived around 30,000 years ago. They had a dome-shaped skull and a broad forehead. Their skull volume of 1,600-cubic centimeters is actually greater than the average skull volume of modern humans. On account of the thick eyebrow protrusions on its skull and another bony protrusion on the back of the head, Cro-Magnon Man was proposed as an intermediate form.
However, the volume and structure of the Cro-Magnon skull are very similar to those of certain human races living today in Africa and in tropical climes. Based on this resemblance, Cro-Magnon is estimated to be an ancient race that originated in Africa. Certain other paleontological findings show that Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal men interbred and formed the basis of certain races alive today. In addition, it is agreed that ethnic groups resembling Cro-Magnon Man are still alive today in various regions of Africa and in the Salute and Dordogne regions of France. Humans with the same characteristics have also been encountered in Poland and Hungary.
All this goes to show that Cro-Magnon man is not, claim, the evolutionary ancestor of human beings living today, as evolutionists suppose. The differences between the fossils and modern Europeans are no greater than that between an Eskimo and an African or between a pigmy and a European. In conclusion, Cro-Magnons represent a distinct human race that either became extinct or was assimilated by interbreeding with other races.

Revision as of 17:23, 5 October 2009
1 Functors
We've spent quite a bit of time talking about categories, and special entities in them - morphisms and objects, and special kinds of them, and properties we can find.
And one of the main messages visible so far is that as soon as we have an algebraic structure, and homomorphisms, this forms a category. More importantly, many algebraic structures, and algebraic theories, can be captured by studying the structure of the category they form.
So obviously, in order to understand Category Theory, one key will be to understand homomorphisms between categories.
1.1 Homomorphisms of categories
A category is a graph, so a homomorphism of a category should be a homomorphism of a graph that respect the extra structure. Thus, we are led to the definition:
Definition A functor from a category C to a category D is a graph homomorphism F0,F1 between the underlying graphs such that for every object :
- F1(gf) = F1(g)F1(f)
Note: We shall consistently use F in place of F0 and F1. The context should be able to tell you whether you are mapping an object or a morphism at any given moment.
1.1.1 Examples and non-examples
- Monoid homomorphisms
- Monotone functions between posets
- Pick a basis for every vectorspace, send and to the matrix representing that morphism in the chosen bases.
1.2 Interpreting functors in Haskell
One example of particular interest to us is the category Hask. A functor in Hask is something that takes a type, and returns a new type. Not only that, we also require that it takes arrows and return new arrows. So let's pick all this apart for a minute or two.Taking a type and returning a type means that you are really building a polymorphic type class: you have a family of types parametrized by some type variable. For each type
The rules we expect a Functor to obey seem obvious: translating from the categorical intuition we arrive at the rules
- andfmap id = id
- fmap (g . f) = fmap g . fmap f
data Boring a = Boring instance Functor Boring where fmap f = const Boring
data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) instance Functor List where fmap f Nil = Nil fmap f (Cons x lst) = Cons (f x) (fmap f lst) data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a instance Functor Maybe where fmap f Nothing = Nothing fmap f (Just x) = Just (f x) data Either b a = Left b | Right a instance Functor (Either b) where fmap f (Left x) = Left x fmap f (Right y) = Right (f y) data LeafTree a = Leaf a | Node [LeafTree a] instance Functor LeafTree where fmap f (Node subtrees) = Node (map (fmap f) subtrees) fmap f (Leaf x) = Leaf (f x) data NodeTree a = Leaf | Node a [NodeTree a] instance Functor NodeTree where fmap f Leaf = Leaf fmap f (Node x subtrees) = Node (f x) (map (fmap f) subtrees)
2 The category of categories
We define a category Cat by setting objects to be all small categories, and arrows to be all functors between them. Being graph homomorphisms, functors compose, their composition fulfills all requirements on forming a category. It is sometimes useful to argue about a category CAT of all small and most large categories. The issue here is that allowing opens up for set-theoretical paradoxes.
2.1 Isomorphisms in Cat and equivalences of categories
The definition of an isomorphism holds as is in Cat. However, isomorphisms of categories are too restrictive a concept.
To see this, recall the category Monoid, where each object is a monoid, and each arrow is a monoid homomorphism. We can form a one-object category out of each monoid, and the method to do this is functorial - i.e. does the right thing to arrows to make the whole process a functor.
Specifically, if is a monoid homomorphism, we create a new functor by setting C(h)[0]( * ) = * and C(h)[1](m) = h(m). This creates a functor from Monoid to Cat. The domain can be further restricted to a full subcategory OOC of Cat, consisting of all the 1-object categories. We can also define a functor by U(C) = C[1] with the monoidal structure on U(C) given by the composition in C. For an arrow we define U(F) = F[1].
These functors take a monoid, builds a one-object category, and hits all of them; and takes a one-object category and builds a monoid. Both functors respect the monoidal structures - yet these are not an isomorphism pair. The clou here is that our construction of C(M) from M requires us to choose something for the one object of the category. And choosing different objects gives us different categories.
Thus, the composition CU is not the identity; there is no guarantee that we will pick the object we started with in the construction in C. Nevertheless, we would be inclined to regard the categories Monoid and OOC as essentially the same. The solution is to introduce a different kind of sameness: Definition A functor is an equivalence of categories if there is a functor and:
- A family of isomorphisms in C indexed by the objects of C, such that for every arrow .
- A family of isomorphisms in D indexed by the objects of D, such that for every arrow .
The functor G in the definition is called a pseudo-inverse of F.
2.2 Natural transformations
The families of morphisms required in the definition of an equivalence show up in more places. Suppose we have two functors and . Definition A natural transformation is a family of arrows indexed by the objects of A such that for any arrow in (draw diagram)
The commutativity of the corresponding diagram is called the naturality condition on α, and the arrow αa is called the component of the natural transformation α at the object a.
Given two natural transformations and , we can define a composition componentwise as .
Proposition The composite of two natural transformations is also a natural transformation.
Proposition Given two categories C,D the collection of all functors form a category Func(C,D) with objects functors and morphisms natural transformations between these functors.
3 Properties of functors
The process of forming homsets within a category C gives, for any object A, two different functors Hom(A, − ): and . Functoriality for Hom(A, − ) is easy: Hom(A,f) is the map that takes some and transforms it into .
Functoriality for Hom( − ,A) is more involved. We can view this as a functor either from Cop, or as a different kind of functor. If we just work with Cop, then no additional definitions are needed - but we need an intuition for the dual categories.
Alternatively, we introduce a new concept of a contravariant functor. A contravariant functor is some map of categories, just like a functor is, but such that F(1[X]) = 1[F(X)], as usual, but such that for a , the functor image is some , and the composition is F(gf) = F(f)F(g). The usual kind of functors are named covariant.

5 Homework
- * Recall that a category is called discrete if it has no arrows other than the identities. Show that a small category A is discrete if and only if every set function , for every small category B, is the object part of a unique functor . Analogously, we define a small category B to be indiscrete if for every small category A, every set function is the object part of a unique functor . Characterise indiscrete categories by the objects and arrows they have.
- Show that the category of vectorspaces is equivalent to the category with objects integers and arrows matrices.
- Prove the propositions in the section on natural transformations.
- Prove that is a natural transformation from the list functor to the maybe functor. IslistToMaybe :: [a] -> Maybe aa natural transformation? Between which functors? Find three more natural transformations defined in the standard Haskell library.catMaybes
- Write a functor instance for data F a = F (Int -> a)
- Write a functor instance for data F a = F ((Int -> a) -> Int)
- * We could write a pretty printer, or XML library, using the following data type as the core data type:
data ML a = Tag a (ML a) | Str String | Seq [ML a] | Nil
- With this, we can use a specific string-generating function to generate the tagged marked up text, such as, for instance:
prettyprint (Tag a ml) = "<" ++ show a ++ ">" ++ prettyprint ml ++ "</" ++ show a ++ ">" prettyprint (Str s) = s prettyprint (Seq []) = "" prettyprint (Seq (m:ms)) = prettyprint m ++ "\n" ++ prettyprint (Seq ms) prettyprint Nil = ""
- Write an instance of Functor that allows us to apply changes to the tagging type. Then, using the following tagging types:
data HTMLTag = HTML | BODY | P | I | H1 deriving (show) data XMLTag = DOCUMENT | HEADING | ABSTRACT | TEXT deriving (show)
- write a function and use it to generate a html document out of:htmlize :: ML XMLTag -> ML HTMLTag
Tag DOCUMENT Seq [ Tag HEADING String "Nobel prize for chromosome find", Tag ABSTRACT String "STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Three Americans won the Nobel prize for medicine on Monday for revealing the existence and nature of telomerase, an enzyme which helps prevent the fraying of chromosomes that underlies aging and cancer.", Tag TEXT String "Australian-born Elizabeth Blackburn, British-born Jack Szostak and Carol Greider won the prize of 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.42 million), Sweden's Karolinska Institute said.", Tag TEXT String "'The discoveries ... have added a new dimension to our understanding of the cell, shed light on disease mechanisms, and stimulated the development of potential new therapies,' it said.", Tag TEXT String "The trio's work laid the foundation for studies that have linked telomerase and telomeres -- the small caps on the end of chromosomes -- to cancer and age-related conditions.", Tag TEXT String "Work on the enzyme has become a hot area of drug research, particularly in cancer, as it is thought to play a key role in allowing tumor cells to reproduce out of control.", Tag TEXT String "One example, a so-called therapeutic vaccine that targets telomerase, in trials since last year by drug and biotech firms Merck and Geron, could yield a treatment for patients with tumors including lung and prostate cancer.", Tag TEXT String "The Chief Executive of Britain's Medical Research Council said the discovery of telomerase had spawned research of 'huge importance' to the world of science and medicine.", Tag TEXT String "'Their research on chromosomes helped lay the foundations of future work on cancer, stem cells and even human aging, areas that continue to be of huge importance,' Sir Leszek Borysiewicz said in a statement.",

The USP and USPc are what I would consider the standard or more accurately the older models. HK45 and HK45c are newer releases and similar to the P30 model but with side mounted safety's similar to the USP line. In my area $650 to $750 range for new USP's depending on features and $850's and up for the newer HK45 models. I can't comment on the features and benefits of the HK45 but have owned both the USP and USPc in 45 and would recommend the compact for carry purposes. Full sized USP is a very big gun.
$1075 for a USP or a USPc is to much but might be normal for the newer HK45c. HK makes some excellent products but if I'm going north of a grand for a handgun I'm looking at high end 1911's, custom Sig's, etc. Your prices on the XD line seem high to me (top end with night sights should be about $585) but again that is in my local area on the left coast not yours. I'm sure some one more familiar with both models will way in with better advice for you.

Arsène Wenger hopes to have four players back for the visit of Liverpool this weekend.
Johan Djourou (shoulder) and Wojciech Szczesny (finger) were last seen departing major cup ties against Manchester United and Barcelona respectively and both face fitness tests ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash.
Alex Song (knee) and Denilson (toe) could return to bolster Arsenal's midfield but Bacary Sagna (knee) is a major doubt while goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (knee) is also doubtful.
"We have no [new injuries] but we have a big doubt on Sagna," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday.
"Djourou and Wojciech are question marks. Will they be fit? That all has still to be decided. We have two more days to find out. It could be a possibility that they could be available.
"It's difficult to say [what their chances are]. We have a test today [Thursday], we have a big test to see how they survive the training session. That will be very important.
"Denilson and Song have a chance to be available as well."
Thomas Vermaelen will not be fit to face Liverpool but Wenger confirmed that the Belgian defender is back in full training after missing most of the season with tendon problems.
"I am not reluctant [to use him] but he is not match fit yet," said the manager. "He just joined the team this week so we have to be a bit patient with him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ok, I'm a bit confused. Is the collar armor connected directly to the back armor via the 4 collar studs? pictures?
hey brother, check out what i did for mine in my harness thread...
go down to the second set of pics, and you can see how i have the collar and backplates connected...i bought some collar studs from Serenity, aluminum, and they work perfect! the collar studs in the pics are made by me, prior to that purchase...let me know if you need any more help...
Short answer: Yes. The collar plate slightly overlaps the back plate.
I'll see if I can find a good pic from the archives.
Edit--found one. This shows the overlap.
That's cool...never knew that...:thumbsup
Hey SJ, looking at the picture you posted I stumbled about those two green screws that go through the cape.
I have seen other shots to know there´s a green metal plate below it.
Could you tell me for what reason they did this?
Can´t imagine what this would be good for ... ?
Thanks for any hint. :-)
Not sure, Manuel. Maybe it was reinforced for the exhibit?
I didn't realize this as well. Looking at Fettdad's pics and Superjedi's picture, it looks to be a choking hazard. Is this the case?
A choking hazard? Well, I dunno about you, but the armor pieces are a little too big to fit in my mouth, so I'm not really worried.
Are you talking about how the parts fit around your neck?
This helps a lot Fett dad. Thanks man!
Yes, that is what I meant.:lolQuote:
Are you talking about how the parts fit around your neck?
:albinoi think if you had it set up right it wouldnt be :albino
Here are two screen shots from ROTJ that show it. Well, one pic shows the back plate popped out, was during action... but you can see how it was never secured permanately.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
whilst sitting at a desk
'Lunches usually consist of cold sandwiches consumed al desko.'The Washington PostJanuary 1981
The quote above is among the earliest citations of this adverb, used in an article discussing the intensive working practices of White House secretaries. The term has been popularised during the last two or three years in response to changed lifestyles and the impact of the Internet in the 21st century. Even if we are not working through our lunch breaks, we may want to consume our lunch al desko whilst surfing the Web, as we, for example, shop, book a holiday, read the news, or check the train times.
21st century demand for convenience foods … has given rise to a proliferation of new words and phrases for food on-the-go
Al desko is of course an innovative play on the word alfresco, an adverb derived from the Italian, meaning 'in the fresh air'. This word also has an adjectival use, as in an alfresco meal, and conceivably we could use al desko in a similar way, e.g. an al desko lunch/supper.
The 21st century demand for convenience foods which can be eaten whilst undertaking other daily rituals has given rise to a proliferation of new words and phrases for food on-the-go. Deskfast is a portmanteau word (i.e. a word formed from a combination of two others) meaning 'breakfast whilst sitting at a desk, place of work, etc.' Similarly, a carfast refers to 'a breakfast eaten whilst driving to work'. Dashboard dining is a generic term for the practice of eating any meal whilst driving, and someone who does this is a dashboard diner.
Convenience food manufacturers are responding to consumer demand by attempting to deliver no-think food or one-handed food — products which require no utensils and do not drip or crumble, and can therefore be eaten whilst working, driving or holding a baby. The term cup-holder cuisine also relates to food which is intended to be eaten whilst driving, usually packaged in containers designed to fit into the cup-holder slots in many car interiors.

Carolina had three get on base, as Haleigh Dickey drew a walk in the first, Amber Parrish reached on a Wildcat error and Kristen Brown reached on a fielder's choice, both in the second.
Kentucky scored 12 runs in the first inning and didn't let up the rest of the game. The Wildcats hit four homeruns, including a grand slam by Christian Stokes in the first and two two-run homers in the second by Griffin Joiner. Katie Henderson pitched the ninth no-hitter in Kentucky's school history.
The Tar Heels split time between four pitchers as Lori Spingola (11-5) took the loss, pitching 1.2 innings and giving up seven runs, six hits and two walks with one strike out. Ashley Bone, Sara Buchholz and Constance Orr also saw time in the circle, with Buchholz and Orr each striking out a Kentucky batter.
The Tar Heels continue their spring break travel in Kentucky as they play next this weekend at the Louisville Classic, which includes Iowa, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin and host No. 11 Louisville. Follow live stats on GoHeels.com for all five games.

I'd like to start by saying that this site is incredible for information. I've read it all and have soaked up everything said - I'm eternally grateful for everyone sharing their successes and more so their mistakes!
Today I cut up a double shoulder piece of 6oz leather to make the skirt. I used a tool for creating lacing, but I set the width to be the length each square will be, to make strips. I then cut one piece right side up and the next upside down (as each piece isn't exactly square). I hope this makes sense? The pattern I had said the skirt should be 27.5" long, however on me that'd be half way down my shins. Judging on the known height of Leeanna Walsman and scaled to me, the skirt should hang 24". I had just enough leather with enough to test the dyes on.
My local Tandy didn't have purple dye so I will have to mix my own. I'm glad I have plenty of scraps to test on! They also recommended water based dyes as they're more friendly to the environment.
I'm also planning on making my own lacing for the skirt using 2oz pigskin tooling/lining. I don't think I'll be able to make it all one continuous length, so I intend on using barge cement coupled with a few zig zag stitches to create longer lacing. The hide I have is approximately 5.5ft long. I should be able to make plenty of lacing.
Lastly, I bought an 80's style belt with two rows of double grommet holes from a second hand store to hang the completed skirt off. It is bright red; I'm glad the cummerbund will cover that up!
My next step is to buy a 1/4" slot hole punch (I missed this item when I was at Tandy - good thing I bought an elite membership for discounts!) and start punching holes in the 144 pieces of leather I have.
More updates soon. Thanks for reading!

I can finally say that my quest to create the most accurate Darth Vader displays has come to an end.
I hope you like him. I had a very difficult time deciding on the poses as well as how to light him.
I'm interested in hearing which pics you like the best.
