ARSC and UAF to Get OC-12 Connection to Internet2 in September
[ This is taken from a University of Washington news release. The full text is available at: http://www.washington.edu/newsroom/news/1999archive/04-99archive/k040299.html ]
The University of Washington and WCI Cable Inc. are very pleased to announce that WCI Cable, in support of the cooperative Pacific/Northwest Gigapop and national Internet 2 efforts, is providing to the UW a state-of-the-art fiber optic connection from Seattle to the University of Alaska Statewide System in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This connection will use high-speed "SONET OC-12" technology, and will bring the new Internet 2 and NGI (Next Generation Internet) capabilities and technologies to Alaska. It will link the University of Alaska to the Pacific/Northwest Gigapop, which is the major national (and only high speed) Internet 2 network hub for the region, and is located in Seattle.
This contribution will enable the University of Alaska and other research and education partners to become full and active participants in Internet2/Next-Generation-Internet development and will extend the new generation of Internet2 technologies, capabilities and opportunities to the entire research and education community in Alaska.
ARSC Internet Connection Upgraded Last Week
The internet connection between Seattle and ARSC was upgraded by a factor of four on April 7, expanding from 2 to 8 T1 links. Users who use the internet to connect to ARSC from the "lower 48" should notice the improvement.
For the rest of the story, see:
VAMPIR Images of MPI, SHMEM, and Co-Array Fortran Broadcast
As noted last week, VAMPIR does more than display MPI message passing. Users can select any code activities to inspect, including message or data passing accomplished by packages OTHER than MPI.
A sample code, given below, broadcasts data using MPI_Bcast, SHMEM_BROADCAST, and a hand-coded Co-Array Fortran (CAF) algorithm.
The program times seven broadcasts of different sizes per method. Here's output from a run on 13 PEs on yukon:
(Values are time in seconds per MW broadcast using packets of "N Words" words on "NPES" PES) NPES N Words MPI SHBCST CAFBCST 13 1 125.05054 39.57748 43.39218 13 10 7.93934 3.69549 4.11272 13 100 0.85235 0.49472 1.77145 13 1000 0.19300 0.15414 0.93031 13 10000 0.12649 0.12825 0.75670 13 100000 0.10838 0.10720 0.33942 13 1000000 0.10481 0.10537 0.29094
So we can "see" what's happening, the code also includes calls to the vampir_trace API to trace the SHMEM and CAF methods so that they will appear on the VAMPIR global-timeline display along with the MPI method.
The following graph is VAMPIR's complete global timeline. The legend includes the new "activities" introduced explicitly in the code: SHMEM_BCAST, CAF_BCAST, and PUT. The colors assigned to these, and all the symbols, are under user control.
Time progresses from left to right, but at this scale, many events are hidden. The final broadcasts of 1,000,000 words per method, however, take the most time, and are visible just before the program terminates.
Figure 1:
The next graph is "zoomed in" on the 100,000 word broadcast. To conserve space, the legend and the processor labels have been switched off.
In order to understand the hand-coded CAF method better, the code was instrumented to designate each individual "PUT" used within the overall broadcast operation. The PUT operations are revealed in the VAMPIR timeline. The tree-structure of the data distribution is apparent as the data flows from processor 0, down the branches, and eventually to all processors.
Figure 2:
This example suggests the power of VAMPIR to help you visualize the flow of data in your programs, regardless of the communication method you use.
Here's the test code:

NACSE Task Force Reports on Software and Tools
The final report of the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering (NACSE) task force on requirements for HPC software and tools is now available.
Over the past six months, various groups have been meeting to discuss software and tools on HPC systems. Experiences from activities such as application development, user and system support, and tools and software research have been combined to define a baseline environment that should meet most users' needs for code development and run-time support. However, this wasn't just a group creating a wish list of software dreams for ideal worlds. It was a serious effort to consider both what would be needed now and in the near future, to help vendors/researchers prioritize their efforts, and to help centers acquire productive systems for their users.
Contributions came from a mixed background of national labs, universities, vendors, and other institutions. The power of the systems currently in use varied from small workgroup servers to Teraflop systems. Vendors and users discussed what was needed and could be completed both in the near future and at a realistic cost. The need for Cray compatibility and how the growth of highly powered desktop systems would influence the software development process were also strongly debated.
Some key features recommended as being essential to all HPC systems were:
- OS features needed, which shells/utilities, threads etc.
- Fortran95, C, C++ compilers and openMP within all.
- Libraries such as optimized BLAS and MPI1, plus interopeability between MPI1 and openMP.
- Standard tools, debuggers and basic timers.
- Documentation and examples.
The final report contains details on each of the above topics. Each feature is described as it might be in a typical RFP by a center considering an HPC system or expansion of an existing resource. More details of the series of meetings, the final full report, and some typical examples of software needs for systems to perform specific activities can be found at:

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ What simple change can I make to improve my code's performance on the T3E? }} Whether or not these qualify as "simple" or "changes" is obviously subjective: o Don't compile with "-g". o Compile with more optimization, like "-O3,aggress" (but compare results and performance). o Use a faster file system (at ARSC this means /tmp). o Use dmget in advance to retrieve potentially migrated input files. o Replace hand-coded algorithms with Cray libraries, if possible. o Test the code on different numbers of PEs. Run on the number that optimizes "performance," however you define it. o Use tools (e.g., PAT, apprentice, VAMPIR) to locate inefficient code segments, and then, if possible, improve them. Q: The following is legal input to a Unix command: [la1+dsa*pla10>y]sy 0sa1 lyx What's the command, and what's the result from this input? (Hint: the command is an easily mistyped anagram of another, extremely popular, command.)

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Canisius College women's lacrosse team fell 24-6 to No. 1 North Carolina on Wednesday in Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels (3-0) got off to a fast start, by netting five goals in the first four minutes of the contest, with Canisius unable to recover, dropping the Griffs to 0-2 on the year.
"It was the second game in a row that we got off to a slow start and it cost us again today," said head coach Scott Teeter. "When you're playing the top teams in the nation, it's crucial to get off to a good start and we didn't do that today.
"We tested our girls early -- scheduling the top-two ranked teams in the nation – and as a team we've found things we need to work on. But even though we've started 0-2, I think these games will be beneficial to achieving our long-term goals this season."
Canisius was able to get on the board five minutes in when junior attacker Meghan Cuddy scored her fourth goal of the year on a free position opportunity, cutting the Tar Heel lead to 5-1.
After another pair of North Carolina goals, junior attacker Tori Quinn found the back of the net for the Griffs following a quick feed from sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull.
North Carolina midfielder Aly Messinger then tacked on two of her four goals on the afternoon on back-to-back possessions before Canisius junior midfielder Tori Greco scored her first goal of the season off a free position opportunity. That sequence increased the Tar Heel lead to 9-3.
The Tar Heels put the game away for good after Greco's goal by scoring on six-straight possessions, led by one of Carly Reed's game-high five goals.
The Griffs would score twice more in the first half, as sophomore attacker Taylor Giglio scored her first goal as a member of the Blue and Gold and Greco found the back of the net for the second time on a free position opportunity. Canisius would head into the half trailing 18-5.
Sophomore attacker Caroline Ogden tallied the Griffs' goal in the second.
After starting the season on the road for the first two contests, Canisius will return home Tuesday, Feb. 25, to take on Colgate. First draw is scheduled for 4 p.m.
GAME NOTES: The Griffs also started 0-2 in 2013 and they went on to win 14 of their final 17 contests… Tori Greco's two goals made today's contest the first multi-goal game of the junior's career… Sophomore Ashley Bull's two caused turnovers were also a career high.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger thinks you need to be "crazy" to sacrifice your life for football management - but the Frenchman still expects many of his former players to do just that.
The Arsenal boss comes face to face with Roy Keane on Saturday, a totemic figure in Manchester United's team for much of Wenger's reign and now the manager of Sunderland.
Keane is the latest in a long line of United stars from the 1990s who have made their mark in top-flight management. Paul Ince (Blackburn), Mark Hughes (Manchester City) and Steve Bruce (Wigan) are all established Premier League bosses but Wenger's former Gunners are conspicuous by their absence in the top jobs. The Frenchman expects that to change, provided his former charges can accept the lifestyle management brings.
"I believe all [my ex-players] have the qualities to do it," said Wenger. "For example David Platt went for it, Paul Merson went for it and stopped again. I believe that Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon, Martin Keown, Steve Bould, Tony Adams can do it. I expect them to do it.
"They have the qualities but do you want to sacrifice your life for this job? It's as simple as that because there is no in-between. Sometimes people who have played for their whole careers do not want to do it anymore."
Some Highbury heroes from the previous decade are getting closer to management. Adams is currently assistant manager to Harry Redknapp at Portsmouth, Keown has worked alongside Wenger at Arsenal and managed the Oxford University side, while Bould coaches Arsenal's academy youngsters and has overseen the development of players such as Jack Wilshere in recent years.
Wenger believes the former centre back can make the step up but admits that management is a big sacrifice for any former player, and especially one with a family.
"Steve Bould is at the moment a very good coach but at the moment maybe the life is more convenient for him," said Wenger.
"It is not always a sign of quality to be a manager, it is more a sign of craziness. It is a choice of life, for me it is a job for a single man. You have to be single, single-minded as well, you have to sacrifice a lot of your life and not everyone wants to do it.
"If you take a guy like Steve Bould, he has played from the age of 18 or 20 to 37, 38... and he has children. In our job you must be ready to take your luggage and go from one country to the next, to Greece, to Japan. It is not a family life."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: 2 in a row. And this win was against a good team that had just won 8 of 9, and which had its top players doing very well tonight. We just flat out beat a good team tonight. Why? Due to a bunch of injuries, it made it almost impossible for Kuester to go small. No Gordon. No Bynum. Stuckey gets his knee banged into in the 1st half. So Kuester is forced to play with regular rotations thruout the game. Why the bad run to start the 2nd quarter after we started with a 15 point lead? Daye was out there, sure. JMAX was out there, sure. But so was Atkins, and the Hornets were keying on Atkins to get easy buckets. Atkins, if you get him on a switch, can't guard anyone who he is switched out on. (and really, he can't guard their point guards either.) Just my opinion. Atkins did hit 3 triples for the game to make up for a lot of his points given up, so I won't say he had a really terrible game this time. I do object strongly to how Atkins slow mo's the ball up the court. Speed it up. JJ hustled his way to quite a game. 13 points, lots of bounds. Big Ben pulled in 20 boards and scored 13 as well. He frustrated their hack-a-Ben strategy by splitting at the line a couple of times. (effectively like shooting 50% when you are put at the line and make half.) Big Ben and JMAX played D. We always had one or the other in the game. And again, never both. One of Wilcox or CV was always in the game, but again, never both. So again, Kuester managed his bigs right. CV scored plenty, and you got to like the mix he used. He got inside plenty and drew many fouls. Rip is definitely back on his shooting. Still lacks that 3 ball range though. He got 30 plus tonight. Stuckey shot poorly in all, but you got to like that he stayed aggressive even after the knee knock. (and he crashed his head into the back of a player later, forcing us to call a timeout while he shook that off.) Any you just have to like that he went into cluth mode in OT. We do harp on CV's D, but when healthy, and playing with an otherwise solid defensive unit, the fact he is a lengthy 7 footer shines thru well enough. He can do his share. Daye hit some triples on his way to double digit scoring in short minutes. Wow, we actually got to see Daye play a whole quarter. Not bad. And Kuester mind you left Daye in even after that long run by N.O. Its great that he did not pull Daye to make him get singled out. Ben hit a jumper. News there. He stepped into it nicely. A simple practice shot, since the other team was just letting him shoot unchallenged. Wilcox is playing just fine: the team still has to do major work as far as learning to feed Wilcox in the post. Wilcox made 3 of 4 at the line or so tonight. Enough made free throws to call for him getting the ball more inside. Also of great importance. Other than Stuckey playing thru an injury sustained in this game, the Pistons played healthy tonight. (and Stuckey's injury by the way may have factored in also in that run by the Hornets - as we had Atkins playing the point while Stuckey was moved over to shooting guard there while playing on the injured knee.) We play again tomorrow night. With it ending up in OT, a couple of guys ended up playing too many minutes. But oh well, we got two in a row, going for 3. GO PISTONS!!!!!

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal take on Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Adrian Clarke and Andrew Mangan of Arseblog.
Read on for their post-match comments and recap what they said before the game.
It didn't matter how Arsenal got the three points on Saturday, all that matters is that they got them. Fourth place is back in their hands now and long may that continue. This game certainly won't win awards for its quality, although the last 15 minutes more than make up for that from an Arsenal perspective. Thierry Henry continues to delight with a wonderful farewell to the Premier League. Could he have written it any better? And what of the contributions of Aaron Ramsey and Andrey Arshavin off the bench? Ramsey will have been delighted with his goal, while the winner was crafted entirely by the Russian's delightful cross. It's the perfect result ahead of that daunting trip to Milan, a test Arsenal will now be relishing.
What better cure for a four-match streak without a league win than a resounding 7-1 victory? Arsenal will head to the Stadium of Light full of confidence, which they are certainly going to need against a galvanised Sunderland outfit. Martin O'Neill's impact has been immediate and the players that should have been performing under Steve Bruce now look capable of causing problems for any side. Stephane Sessegnon is currently everybody's fantasy football favourite at the moment, which is hardly surprising given his contributions in front of goal over the past few weeks. Sunderland will have plenty in their lockers to test Arsenal's mettle but I still feel it will be Arsène Wenger's side walking away with all three points on Saturday.
It wasn't pretty but Arsenal eventually grabbed the win they deserved at the Stadium of Light thanks to their greater will to win and a perfect Premier League send-off from Thierry Henry. Martin O'Neill's men may have been bang in form but they showed the Gunners enormous respect by setting up with 11 men behind the ball and it was clear that their main intention was to deny Arsenal's forwards any space in behind their back four. A drab affair ensued but after Sunderland unexpectedly opened the scoring when profiting from Per Mertesacker's injury the Gunners raised their game and thanks to three excellent contributions by subs Aaron Ramsey, Andrey Arshavin and Henry the scoreline turned around spectacularly. With Arsenal now up to fourth they travel to Milan this week in fine spirits.
This isn't a great time to be playing in-form Sunderland on their home patch but on the back of that magnificent 7-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers the Black Cats might be thinking the same about the timing of Arsenal's visit to the Stadium of Light. From a Gunners perspective, the starting XI will need to be ready to roll up their sleeves and expect a physical battle. If they aren't 100 per cent tuned in all over the pitch, it could be a difficult afternoon for them because Sunderland will be passionate, committed, organised and well-balanced. I'm sure that Arsène Wenger will be wary of the threat posed by Stephane Sessegnon too. He's not the most consistent Premier League performer but the way he drops off and runs at defenders could cause one or two nervy moments. He must be shackled closely. On paper, the Gunners have a far superior team and I'm optimistic that Arsenal will show an improvement in their away form in this clash. But to gain three, or even one point, I sense that they are going to have to play pretty well.
I think we all knew Sunderland was going to be tough, but playing against a well-drilled team who worked hard on a terrible pitch frustrated us for 75 minutes. Losing Per Mertesacker to injury and falling behind in one fell swoop might have proved much more costly, but Aaron Ramsey's introduction proved a clever change by the manager. I've always felt he was capable of scoring more so fingers crossed this can spark more from him. As for the winner, well, it's another great moment. I was happy to see Arshavin contribute the assist and whoever Thierry Henry's script writer is, he's doing a brilliant job. A last-minute winner on what is likely to be his last ever Premier League appearance was something special. Overall the team showed great spirit to come from behind in difficult circumstances, and those three points were absolutely crucial.
Sunderland away will provide a big test for an Arsenal side buoyed by the Blackburn win, but still with something to prove after a very difficult January. Martin O'Neill has done a fine job since taking over there but having played 120 minutes in midweek they might find it tough going, especially as the game wears on. I hope we've got the ability to exploit that and the pace of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in particular could prove crucial. Robin van Persie again proved that if he gets the service the goals will come. We've been a bit wasteful in front of goal recently but hopefully that Blackburn game has opened the floodgates a bit. Although we've got two big cup ties to come, this game is hugely important too and three points are vital to keep up the chase for a top-four finish.

Found a heater box from an early mustang
Bought a new seal kit, heat defrost plenum from Mustangs unlimited.
The mustang must have a shorter distance from the cowl to the heater as
I had to use a new foam seal and stack an old used one on top of it.
Other than that the heaters are identical.
Earlier Falcons used a bigger heater core (60-63 was 2-1/2" thick and somewhere after that the cores were 2" thick.
Also----starting in April 65, Falcons and Mustangs got 3 speed heaters vs the earlier 2 spd (applies to the 64-65 cars).
The cars with the 3 speed heater will have a hole cut in the heater box for the blower resistor that the early 65 and 64 cars do not have.
If you replace the heater box (and they are available new from Falcon Enterprises, Mustangs unlimited, and Melvin's Classic Ford Parts , they will all use the same heater core---cannot recall which one.
I think I found that Melvin's carries the large dryer vent hose type seal, but I have not yet ordered one----I will later----now AI have to repair my defrost hoses and vents 'cause they broke while wrestling around with the heater.
Hoses and vents are also available new-----about $40.00
But--my heater is working now and I can actually drive it in the mornings if it not too humid out----defrost only halfway works.
So how did your heater repair work?
I'm curious as I have a 64 Falcon and the heater box became detached from the cowl which I assume led to some flexing and leaking in the heater core. All I know is that if I tried using the defroster I got a lot of steam on my windshield. As a quick temporary fix, I just removed the heater box and replumbed the heater hose to be just a loop.
Haven't even opened up the heater box yet to see if I can determine the problem with the heater core, which was supposed to have been new when I bought the car.
In any case I'll also need to reattach the heater box to the cowl and any tips or advice you have would be appreciated.
Not the heater core I am looking to repair----already have that.
My issue is mainly sealing the box to the cowl where the air enters the heater.
Falcons used a big 'dryer hose' type seal-----Mustang used use a foam type seal.
The Falcon seal I cannot find at the Falcon suppliers-----the piece for the mustang is readily available.
I did find out that the heater boxes (the big fiberglass box) is the same from 60 to 65 in the Falcon-----65-66 Mustang----difference being the late 65 and the 66 cars had a hole cut in the box for a blower resistor for the 'new' 3 spd blower.
The heat/defrost plenum is a bit different, but I do not think there would be any issue with using one from an earlier Falcon or the Mustang.
I will find out very soon.
While in Atlanta this week, I visited Mustangs Unlimited and bought the heat/defrost plenum and a seal kit.
I intend on fixing my heater this weekend (dropping to the mid 30s overnight this week).
I'll keep all you early Falcon people posted
Hi Byan,
If this information on Spectra-Premium's website is correct, you're in for a very pleasant surprise.
Anyway ... yes, 65 Falcon and Mustang (w/o AC) both use the same heater core #94575
I just double-checked using NAPA ProLink, and found similar information in their buyer's guide
Thanks for the input.
My 65 Ranchero was purchased by my uncle new in 65.
He promptly installed a 3-spoke steering wheel and a set of original American Racing Torque Thrust mags.
Factory 289 HIGH PERFORMANCE with a 4-spd.
Pretty much unmolested except for the day 2 stuff----a real time capsule.
This thing is a little rocket and a blast to drive
Falcon and Mustang parts
I had falcon, mustang and Comet. I have a air for 65' Caliente, all restore. I have a overdrive for 1960 falcon to 1964, mostly those 6 inline, some use a small 298. The driveshaft is small, I have seen them, everyone want to pick a V eight. I had a 65 Ranchero, I sold it, the 200 cid with three on tree.
The overdrive can to change for F-100 to 240 or 300 and get better gas. I have alot of overdrives. What year of your model? The heater is the same of all meet. Mustang heaters the same.
Falcon/Mustang interchange/// heater
Wondering if anyone here can locate part numbers or interchange information
on 65 Falcon to 65-66 Mustangs.
Looking to get some parts that I cannot locate at the Falcon suppliers
but am able to find at the Mustang specialty stores.
My thought process is that since the Mustang was pretty much based on the Falcon---the heater parts should be the same.
Getting a bit too chilly here in the mornings to drive my Ranchero to work in the mornings with no heat.
Will be visiting a Mustang store next week while traveling to Atlanta, and if the Pony car parts will work---I can get them all there and then.

|Your dog is matted. You can continue working it out at home with cornstarch and a slicker brush/comb/undercoat rake, or you can take her to a professional groomer who will be able to get that matted undercoat out in a few hours. Is she a longhair or a shorthair? If she is a longhair, and the guard coat is tangled up, the worst parts may have to be shaved off. If she's a shorthair, my bet is that all that dead undercoat will slide right out and she'll look like a new dog. Make sure the groomer has a high velocity or force dryer. Not sure what prices are like in the UK but I charge anywhere from $55-85 for GSDs with this issue.
I have an answer for you "Corn Starch"
Work it in like it is powder you need to get to the skin. It makes working undercoat out much much easier. It makes it easier to split the matts (you need a matt splitter for this and use it carefully.)
1. apply cornstarch
2. use matt splitter
3. use under coat rake
4. top off with slicker brush
(This info courtesy of the Late Barker Sisters - both long coats.)
Endless amount of knotted hairs - big problem
She won't take the comb because it hurts her so I have to use my fingers. I've spent hours on this and was coming towards completion, but now areas I've done once are causing problems.
A lot of her undercoat hairs that are coming out are extremely dry, is that normal?
tbh, I love my dog and do everything I can but I just didn't know anything about grooming and the bonding session.
She is 1.5yrs female - standard breed size, ideal standard weight and is eating "royal canine skincare veterinary diet"....

You can add tokens to the subject field, like
{city}, and Jetpack will replace the token with the value of the "City" form field (case insensitive).
I do not receive any notification email about form submissions
Jetpack, like other contact form plugins, uses a function named
wp_mail() to send out emails. It's the same function that is used by WordPress to send you comment notifications, or notifications about new users registering on your site.
You can check if that function works properly by leaving a comment on your site and checking if you receive an email. Another alternative would be to use the Email Logs plugin. This plugin records a log of all e-mails sent out by WordPress once it is activated. If an e-mail is listed in this plugin's logs and you do NOT receive it, then the issue is likely either with your server or the recipient's server.
If you find issues with that function, you could use a plugin like this one to configure your WordPress installation to use a specific email service to send out emails.
If the function appears to be work properly, it means that Jetpack's emails are filtered out before they can reach your inbox:
- They can be filtered out by your server before they even get sent out; your hosting provider should be able to check their server email logs to find out if the emails were blocked.
- They can be filtered out by your email provider. If you don't find the emails in your spam folder, you'll want to try sending out Jetpack emails to another email address, and see if you keep experiencing issues. You can do so thanks to this option in the contact form builder.
If none of this helps, send us an email!

Ogden • Did Matthew David Stewart know that on Jan. 4, it was police officers not burglars with whom he fought a gun battle that left Stewart wounded, one officer dead and five others injured?
Stewart told Weber County Attorney's Office investigator Robert Carpenter that he thought men had broken into his home to rob and kill him, and that he was defending himself.
But during the same interview, Stewart allegedly made statements indicating he believed otherwise.
Carpenter testified Thursday during a preliminary hearing in 2nd District Court that he met Stewart at Ogden Regional Medical Center the day after the shootout. Stewart was conscious and alert - though his defense attorneys pointed out he had just undergone surgery and Carpenter asked Stewart to detail what had unfolded at his Ogden home.
Reading parts of the interview, Carpenter indicated that Stewart told him the men who came into his home "believed what they were doing was right."
Carpenter asked him if he knew who the men were, and Stewart answered, "Not specifically." Stewart then asked who they were, adding, "There are a lot of branches out there."
"Branches of what?" Carpenter asked.
"Branches of the government," Stewart allegedly replied.
During the same conversation, Stewart told the investigator his military training kicked in when he heard his door break open and men enter his home. He heard the men yelling, but couldn't make out what they said.
Carpenter said Stewart pointed his gun around the corner of his bedroom hallway, and was met with gunfire. Stewart told the investigator he didn't pull his trigger until he was shot at, and he allegedly said that he "felt they [were] definitely there to kill me."
Several police officers with the Weber Morgan Narcotics Strike Force, however, have testified that it was Stewart who fired the first shots after officers entered the home to serve a search warrant in a drug investigation. The officers also claim they yelled, "Police. Search warrant!" before going in.
Stewart, 38, is charged with aggravated murder for the death of 30-year-old strike force Agent Jared Francom, and eight other felony counts relating to the shooting of five other officers and marijuana cultivation. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
Thursday marked the second day of a three-day preliminary hearing for Stewart. The hearing is expected to end Friday, when a judge will decide if Stewart will stand trial.
Much of the testimony has come from strike force agents who were wounded during the shootout at the home at 3268 Jackson Ave.
Kasey Burrell testified Thursday that his job that night was to search the basement, where agents thought Stewart was maintaining an indoor marijuana cultivation. Another agent had just discovered what Burrell called "the grow room," but before Burrell could get there, gun shots rang out upstairs.
He rushed upstairs and into the kitchen, where he saw blood covering the floor and Francom shooting down the hallway at Stewart.
"[Francom] says, 'I'm out of ammo,' " and raises his gun up," Burrell testified, his voice shaking with emotion as he recalled his last interactions with Francom.
"I said, 'Get behind me,' " Burrell testified. "He's getting behind me, and Mr. Stewart comes in and shoots me. I don't remember it after that."
Francom was shot six times and died that night.
Burrell spent nearly a month recovering from a gun shot wounds to his left temple and abdomen. Burrell detailed his long recovery process: from plastic surgeries to repair of a shattered skull, speech therapy as a result of brain injury and ongoing issues with his bowel and small intestine. A faint scar is still visible on Burrell's temple.
Sgt. Nathan Hutchinson testified that he had just entered the kitchen when he saw Francom and Burrell fall to the floor nearly simultaneously.
Hutchinson said he went to help them, encountering Burrell first, and began dragging him from the hallway, which rang with gunfire.
"[I was] dodging bullets," Hutchinson said. "I mean, I was getting shot at and I was shooting back."
While dragging Burrell, Hutchinson was shot in the right hip.
Out of ammunition, Hutchinson said he returned to the hallway for Francom. As he pulled the man through the kitchen to a side door, a bullet struck his left arm.
Then a silhouette emerged from the hallway and Hutchinson launched backwards, he said, taking Francom with him and tumbling down the stairs. The silhouette came closer and began firing
"[I] pretty much ask[ed] God to save me," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson was able to push the two injured men out the side door and grab a shotgun left in the stairwell by Ogden police officer Michael Rounkles, who was injured earlier.
"The aggressiveness of the shooting was standing out to me," Hutchinson testified. "I knew if I just turned and walked away, I would probably [have been] shot in the driveway."
He met the silhouette again in the stairwell, but before he could shoot, he was wounded in his right arm.
Hutchinson said he finally made it outside to help the injured officers and to receive help himself when the silhouette appeared in the front doorway and opened fire on the officers in the street. Hutchinson said he took cover in a gutter to avoid being shot again.
Agent Jason Vanderwarf, who was shot in the right hip, testified Thursday that he was the agent in charge of the case.
Vanderwarf said the investigation into Stewart's possible marijuana cultivation began with a tip from Stewart's ex-girlfriend, Stacy Wilson, in September 2011. She told Vanderwarf there were 12-15 plants in the home, and that Stewart had been growing pot for about nine years.
After their initial conversation, Vanderwarf said he lost contact with Wilson, and the case went dormant for several months, until Vanderwarf's supervisor asked him about its status.
Vanderwarf said officers went three times to contact Stewart, but never found him home.
But the agents were able to peer into windows and an overflowing trash can. Vanderwarf said they saw several items indicative of a marijuana growing operation: multiple extension cords, bright lights coming from the basement, a large number of water jugs and several humidifier boxes. Based on this information, a search warrant was issued.
Vanderwarf said that after doing a criminal background check on Stewart, they decided to ask a judge for a knock-and-announce warrant, rather than a no-knock warrant. "There was no information on Mr. Stewart that he posed a danger," he said.
Vanderwarf added that the officers came to believe the home was being used solely to grow marijuana, and that no one was actually living there.
During cross-examination, Stewart's attorney, Randy Richards, questioned the thoroughness of the investigation and why investigators never inquired about where Stewart worked or his hours of employment. During an interview with The Tribune, Stewart said he worked a night shift at the Walmart in Riverdale and was asleep as the strike force arrived between 8 and 8:30 p.m.
Vanderwarf told Richards he had not examined property ownership records or searched to see if Stewart had any gun permits.
Rounkles, who also testified Thursday, said he joined the gunfight after hearing on his radio that officers had been shot just blocks from where he was doing parole checks.
Rounkles said he entered the home with a shotgun, but when he turned toward the hallway where he heard gunfire, he was immediately hit in the mouth and the left forearm. He was never able to fire the shotgun because he became disoriented from the wounds.
Rounkles, Burrell and Vanderwarf said they were wearing bullet-proof vests that night, but Hutchinson said he was not. It is unclear whether the other agents were wearing ballistic vests.
Sarah Gilchrist, with Weber County Metro CSI, was tasked with logging Francom's clothing for evidence. She said Francom was not wearing a vest when he arrived at the hospital.

|I can vouch for the Brando. I rode the 58 up there this past weekend (June actually), and it killed, especially after things got tracked. It's a pretty mellow sidecut, which isn't my favorite on groomers, but I liked that aspect in heavy pow.
|ETM your videos and detailed information of the Birdman in the older post were super helpful that think looks like it flat out rips. Supra yeah I'm interested to hear how that La Nina works, seems like it has a similarish nose to the bird man but more towards a quiver killer rather than a more pow specific shape? I haven't seen any of these boards in person. With the 10.5 boot the 25.5 width of the Brando is probably as narrow as I could go and get away with it, the Birdman is 26 wide which is right in my zone. Anyone that's ridden the La Nina I'd be stoked to hear your experience.. Thanks for the reply's.
|I just love my birdman.
you could consider a brando by lando 162. You really don't need to go to 170 with your size - it's not going to make tree runs easier
edit: just saw you had the brando in the title. I vote for that one, but I do want to try a la nina
Birdman 165, La Nina 164, or Brando by Lando 162 for Mammoth pow days!?!?!
Stoked on all of the good information on this forum I've been reading reviews and threads about these boards and I'm pulling the trigger on one asap so looking for any and all input…
So I had just spent an hour typing a long description of what I'm looking for and what I'm riding etc…. then hit post and I wasn't logged in. So maybe that was a sign that I typed too much. Here goes again... Looking for a resort pow board for Mammoth. I'm 36, been riding for 20 years this year.. 5'11" 175-180 size 10.5 boots, currently riding a 2013 Jamie Lynn C2BTX with Now IPO's and love it but just want something a little easier/more user friendly/playful to run fast through the trees and down the chutes. Then when it gets chunky later in the day something that will blast through or over it without blinking. I've been leaning towards the Birdman because people that have ridden them seem to love them, I like the horsepower construction, and option of up to 4" setback but all of these look good in their own way. Also wondering if I'm looking at the correct size Birdman or if I should be considering the 170 since the additional length seems to just be in the nose.
This board will be primarily for inbound resort pow riding, and will be added to my quiver of the 160 Jamie Lynn I mentioned above and a 164 Jones Solution split.
Looking for input from those that have ridden any of these and in what type of conditions although I'm not closed minded so if theres one that I'm missing please share your opinion.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your input, I appreciate it.

I believe couples work is about finding common ground, letting go of resentment and old hostility, and recognizing its not about who is right or wrong. We can reconnect with new communication skills to regain the connection from early in the relationship. Often recognizing that a relationship needs nourishing is difficult, and once realized making a call for help is even more so.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger has praised Swansea for their 'magic' achievement in reaching the Premier League.
Wenger is currently preparing his side to face Brendan Rodgers' men at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and says their impressive rise to English football's top tier should be admired.
The Swans gained promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs last season to become the competition's first ever Welsh side, but are still on the hunt for their opening victory.
"What they have achieved is absolutely magic," Wenger said. "At this moment last season, no-one would have given them a chance, so what they have done is absolutely fantastic.
"Swansea are a team who look at the numbers who are one of the four or five best teams in terms of passing ability."
But despite the praise, Wenger insists his team will be offering no let up against the Swans as the Gunners also search for their first Premier League victory of the season.
"It is the next game, and that is always the most important," he said. "We just want to come back and show we can win games.
"We do not look too much against who we play, we just focus on ourselves winning a game in the Premier League.
"For us basically it is a new start, we start now and want to in a strong way. Swansea are a good side, but we want to win the game tomorrow."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Video: The Elusive Football
At least we had our chances...
What? Playing not to lose? Laird had done nothing all game...even popped out a bunt attempt. There was no reason to not put Avila in against the righty
Music tribute. YouTube - Crazy world of arthur brown - fire YouTube - Napoleon XIV: 'They're coming to take me away'
Thus endeth this year's version Of Tiger Chat. Tune in next year as the tigers win the Al Central with the best three starter rotation in baseball. Stay tuned for Tiger WrapUp later on tonight as I now must go to the hospital to sew up my spilt wrists!!
Use duct tape HQ.
good thread Skool...thanks.
You knew there wasn't going to be any way the Tigers were going to celebrate at the Metrodome. They have no karma in that place. None whatsoever. They had their chances and did not take advantage. Go Yankees.
Avila has been hitting .170 in the last month. Perhaps you pinch hit, but not Avila.
Ok it's over...who takes the blame?? Raburn misjudging the ball hit to left in the 10 th inning, the short stop and the second baseman letting the ball through the middle when a certain DP was setup?? The ump who said that Inge was not hit by the ball with the bases loaded I think Mr. Leyland has to take the blame here. The Tigers had a 7 game lead with 27 games to go on 9/7 and went 11-16 down the stretch. The Twins went 19-8 for the same period. The Tigers had 2 game lead with 3 to go and layed an egg winning only 1 of their last 4. Cabrera could take some blame, for the poor showing over the weekend, but he did his part today when needed, so lets that leave that one alone. JL probably pulled Porcello to early and left Miner in to long. He took out Maggs in 9th inning thereby removing a hot bat from the lineup...that wasn't the first time this happen this year. Tigers blew two leads today on shoddy pitching and defense. Gerald Laird???? Dude is fine behind the plate, but an absolute liability standing next to it....going 0 for 6 today and leaving countless runners on base. Inge did hit in what we thought was winning hit, when some guy name Kelly scored from first, and then almost got an RBI when he thought he was HBP, but the ump, who was more favorable to Porcello than the other pitchers ignored it. Otherwise Inge was as bad as Guillen as no one after Cabrera other than raburn could do a thing out there to clear the bases... I am thinking that Leyland retires gracefully over the winter if he is not fired before the end of this week. Oh by the way, does anybody need some Tiger 2009 division champs caps and t shirts??? The tigers got a whole box of them that will probably be shipped to American Somoa for those people over there that lost their belongings during the EQ... They shipped their champaign over to Twins lockeroom as the ice had melted last Friday....
The game was a microcosm of the season. The season ended the only way it could. :( Go Phillies!
Really bad strike call against Polanco. The hardest guy to strike out in the AL is at the plate with a runner at 3rd and no outs and he gets a called strike on a call 6 inches inside? Next iffy one was the double play. Looked like Grandy got back to the bag. And of course, the Inge jersey hit... although I think that rule is pretty weak. The amazing call was the out at home from Raburn's throw. I slowed their replay to a crawl on my DVR b/c I thought the ump blew the call. But he was literally out by an inch. He must have guessed right. Man do I hate the vibe of the Metrodome. Good thing they are getting out of there.
- Very intriging season, maybe Tigs have a foundation for the future.
Grat points to ponder...but how about the management of the game...your thoughts on JL letting Laird hit with the bases loaded in the 12th when he had already stranded a total of 7 base runners....Avila was available and would have at least made Gardenhire blink again. Decision not to at least have granderson attempt a steal second in the top of the ninth when he was on 1st and Everette was on third with no outs. He had a chance to disrupt Nathan while he was pitching to Polanco who eventually struck out. How about subbing out Mags in the 10th which allows Clete Thomas to open the 12th with a fly out to center ....and the next two batters get on base. Do you think that Porcello despite giving the solo HR in the 6th inning deserved to be pulled?? He had the Twins befuddled and was only up to 90 pitches by then. I would have left in there thru the 8th at least especially since Miner gave up 4 hits the next inning...
Clete hit that ball well
Buster Olney said Inge got hit. If Olney said it, I believe it. BusterOlney speaks no bologna!!!
For a team that was predicted to be last...not too shabby Tigers.
...i believed.
There were a lot of bad calls on both sides. The Twins starting pitcher was squeezed pretty much the whole game whereas Porcello had a really liberal strike zone, I thought. If you want to get into the playoffs, you can't leave it up to the umps. Raburn said he lost that line drive in the lights, and I believe it. If you watch the replay, he had a beat on it the entire time until the last second. His glove was not in the right spot when the ball was coming in.
Still, you gotta keep that ball in front of you.
Separate names with a comma.

Last year, when attending my tenth Congress in a row, I wrote that MWC 2013 would be more global and more disruptive than ever before. I believe the same will be true this year, with 2014 bringing a very important milestone in the shift to mobile: an install base of more than 2 billion smartphones globally. Mobile is transforming every industry by offering global reach and the ability to offer contextual services. That's why we'll see many more marketers, agencies, business executives, and strategists attend the traditional telecom show.
Gone are the days when MWC was about operators' supremacy. As my colleague Dan Bieler summed it up in this blog post, telcos are increasingly being backed into a corner. I still remember this quote from Arun Sarin, the former CEO of Vodafone, in the Financial Times in November 2007: "Just the simple fact we have the customer and billing relationship is a hugely powerful thing that nobody can take away from us." Really? Well, in the meantime, Apple and Google have created two powerful mobile platforms that have disrupted entire industries and enabled new entrants to connect directly to customers.
From a marketing and strategy perspective, I'd categorize the likely announcements in three main areas:

I only just recently started watching Mad Men — a shock to many of my marketing peers and to regular folks who now think I've been living under a rock for the past five-plus years. I'll save my thoughts on the show for another time, but what strikes me at least once during each episode is how much everything (tactics) and nothing (strategy) have changed. Similar fundamental challenges weigh on Sterling Cooper's clients' minds and on our CMO clients' minds today: How do we connect with our consumers in a way that differentiates us from the competition? While Don Draper was limited to print and TV, thanks to digital platforms and tools, today's CMOs have an almost-infinite number of options with which to build relationships with consumers.
2013 is the year that digital takes on a much more significant role in marketing and business strategies at business-to-consumer (B2C) organizations, and CMOs will be responsible for shepherding the change. 2013 is the year that CMOs will leverage digital tools to drive innovation of new compelling brand experiences — not as add-ons or enhancements but as integral elements of the brand's messages, actions, and products that will differentiate your offering.
B2C CMOs, your 2013 resolutions should be to:

Engineering Missions for Graduate Student Education and Local Innovation
Applications are now being accepted for Global Engineering Innovation projects designed to give Johns Hopkins' graduate students and select undergraduates an opportunity to investigate and tackle engineering challenges in the developing world. Undergraduate and graduate opportunities are available. Application deadline is April 5, 2013.
An information session on the Global Engineering Innovation program will be held on April 12 at 6 p.m. in room G40 (ground floor conference room) in the New Engineering Building.
Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology has obtained funding to support three engineering mission teams composed of two to four students at a variety of international host sites. Teams will be mentored by an engineering faculty and a faculty member from the host site. Budgets, time lines and project plans will be developed by the team members with assistance by the host site faculty member.
To be eligible to apply, undergraduate and graduate students should be science or engineering majors (other majors will be considered if a fit is evident based on application material). Teams can be predefined by the students prior to applying but each team member must submit all application material. We will attempt to keep predefined teams together but the final decision will be made by the coordination committee (we will add or remove members if we feel a better team composition can be made).
To apply for this unique opportunity, send the following items to Ashanti Edwards at email@example.com.
- Your resume including any outreach experience (domestic or international) and any foreign language capability (not required)
- A brief (300 words max.) statement of your interest in Global Engineering Innovation
- The name and contact information of at least one referee, preferably your faculty research advisor (or academic advisor for undergraduate students)
After teams, mentors and challenges are defined, the team or team leader will travel to the site to further evaluate challenge and design constraints. After return to Baltimore, the teams will meet to further research the challenge and brainstorm potential solutions. The JHU School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) will be consulted so that students will be aware of the social and political atmosphere that may impact utilization and potential distribution of the engineering solutions. By the end of the first year, the students will have designed a working prototype. The teams will then travel to the Global Site with their working prototype to test solution feasibility and modify as needed. If successful, potential avenues of translation will be investigated with advisory board members with relevant experience.

The March, 2003, edition of Focus magazine carried an article called "The Gene is Selfish." This dealt with various evolutionist theses developed from Darwin"s time up to the present day, and examined these theses" assumptions regarding genes. It was claimed in the article that the book The Selfish Gene, published in 1976 by the confirmed atheist and Darwinist zoologist Richard Dawkins, had resolved various points that these theses had tripped up over. In the book, Dawkins says: "We are survival machines--robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes." This article is a response to the evolutionist theses considered in the Focus article, and reveals that genes represent an insoluble dilemma both for Dawkins" claims and for the theory of evolution in general.
Evolutionists" Helplessness in the Face of the Blow Altruistic Behavior Deals to the Theory of Evolution
In Focus magazine Dawkins" book is portrayed as the solution to a question that has concerned a great many evolutionists, including Darwin himself. The magazine indicates that some courageous and self-sacrificing behavior in living things cannot be explained in terms of Darwin"s concept of natural selection. Citing an example of this it poses the question:
For example, why did birds chirp louder as the likelihood of an attack went up or in moments of danger, or why did bees sacrifice their lives to defend the nest?
In these examples, birds and bees defend the group"s interests at the cost of their own lives. This behavior represents a serious dilemma for the theory of evolution, which maintains that there is a constant fight for survival among living things. According to evolutionist logic, the bird or bee should fly off and save itself rather than defending the community.
In his book The Descent of Man, which he published in 1871 to overcome this difficulty, Charles Darwin suggested that, despite having previously emphasized the individual fight for survival, evolution was actually a process which worked not amongst individuals but at the group level. According to this, the feature of "courage" possessed by bees and birds was an attribute, which played a role not in the struggle of the individual but of the species as a whole. Darwin focused on the group rather than the individual, thus "covering up" the problem.
Focus magazine puts forward this forced turn-around in Darwin"s ideas as a so-called solution to the problem. "Darwin revealed that evolution was a process which functioned not at the individual, but at the group level." The truth is, however, that there is no process of evolution. The individuals that display the self-sacrificing behavior in question cannot cause the groups to which they belong to evolve into other living things. Of course the capacities for communication and solidarity in some groups may give them a survival advantage over other groups. Yet there will be no change in the species concerned. For instance, even if one group of sparrows with excellent communication and cooperation between the members are well defended from eagles and thus possess an advantage over other groups, the surviving group can still not turn into another species of bird, owls perhaps. It is clearly deceptive to equate this situation with evolution.
Focus magazine contains another inconsistent approach to the subject of altruistic behavior. According to the "kin selection" thesis put forward by William Hamilton in 1964, it may be significant that individuals give up their own lives for the sake of the group in a self-sacrificing way because genetic features do not come to an end with the death of the individual. Since the sets of genes an individual possesses are also present in its siblings, characteristics from the mother and father can be handed on down to later generations without disappearing. Focus describes the position in these terms from the point of view of genes: "According to the genes" perspective, this situation is better than them all disappearing ... Since the death of an individual meant the continuation of many more sets of genes, self sacrifice became meaningful. In this way, Hamilton showed that self-sacrifice could be explained in genetic terms by "relative selection."
This is clearly a most illogical claim to make. It is true that in the event of a living thing"s death its genes can be handed on to later generations via its siblings or offspring. It is most illogical, however, to suggest that genes have conscious plans regarding the handing on of genes and that they in this way control the behavior of living things. Above all, it is impossible to reduce the concept of self-sacrifice to the genes. That is because self-sacrifice is linked to consciousness: The living thing displaying self-sacrifice must first be aware of its own existence and that of others. Furthermore, it must "want" others to survive at the cost of its own life, for which reason it needs to be "able to feel" the emotion of self-sacrifice. Genes, however, consist of unconscious molecules. The elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphate, which make up the genes cannot "want" or "feel" anything. They cannot know about their "brothers" in other organisms. They cannot have a "point of view." There is no difference between believing that and believing that stones or grains of sand can think and make plans. In order not to accept the fact of creation, evolutionists happily embrace this most irrational thesis.
The effort to account for an abstract feeling by means of genes made up of molecules stems from the materialist view which the theory of evolution rests on. Materialist thought maintains that everything consists of matter and assumes that human thoughts and feelings are the work of the molecular exchanges which go on in the human body. Yet the fact that the question of how human consciousness comes into being has not yet been resolved, according to the evolutionist and materialist view, invalidates these assumptions. Scientists who have scanned the brain for many years with the most sophisticated equipment have been unable to obtain even the smallest clue as to how consciousness forms and where it lies. At this point, materialists make confessions that consciousness is a supra-material and "magical" phenomenon. In short, neither the brain nor the genes can account for self-sacrifice.
The article later moves on to Richard Dawkins" claims. It describes how Dawkins has taken Hamilton"s ideas regarding the genes one step further, and how with the concept of the "selfish gene" he portrays these as beings secretly traveling about in the body and trying to ensure their own futures. According to this, Dawkins claims that fish committing suicide or courageous behavior by baboons takes advantage of this concept, but that a single creature or human being is not entirely controlled by selfish genes.
On closer inspection, Dawkins" thesis turns out to be deceptive. This time Dawkins describes genes as "selfish" beings, in other words with thoughts, feelings and desires. Later, according to that definition, he claims that genes come together to create and develop organisms. When we consider that the things we call genes are a group of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen held together by phosphate and sugars and consider this a little deeper we can see how nonsensical Dawkins" theory really is. Attempting to account for the design in these atoms by means of "selfishness" is like saying that of a car that "All the components of the car, its metal frame, tires, screws, plastic parts etc. are very fond of one another, and they came together in the light of that affection to form a car, and thanks to that affection they constantly evolve and make new models." In other words, it is very insensible. Ascribing "selfishness" to genes is just as ridiculous as ascribing "affection" to car components.
The sole reason why Dawkins and the other evolutionists believe in the nonsense of the "selfish gene" is their unwillingness to accept that genes are created. To put it another way, they are unwilling to believe in the existence of Allah and His creation. In fact, Dawkins is a fanatical atheist who has never made any secret of his hostility towards religion.
Focus itself is engaging in atheistic propaganda.
Dawkins suggests that alongside genes culture also plays a role in human behavior. He describes the forms of behavior imposed by culture as "memes." It is stated in the Focus magazine article that on this subject Dawkins was influenced by the theory of joint genetic-cultural evolution proposed by the Italian geneticist Luigi Cavalli-Sforza in the 1970s. An example of this idea is given and it is explained how a cultural change in the development of dairy-operation in one region of the world can influence the permanence of the genes needed for the digestion of lactose in milk.
Lactose is a form of sugar found in milk and is digested in our bodies by an enzyme known as lactase. The gene which produces lactase is "open" in all human beings at the moment of birth. The gene then "closes" after weaning. That is why some people are unable to digest milk or ice-cream products containing lactose and are liable to such discomforts as stomach cramps. However, adults in some races are able to continue without losing their ability to digest lactose. Ninety-seven percent of adult Scandinavians, for instance, are able to digest lactose. In Far Eastern races, however, that level goes down to just above zero. The Scandinavians were one of the first races to move to making dairy products. Far Eastern peoples, on the other hand, attached little importance to it or moved to it at a later stage.
It must be stressed, however, that the example given here does not demonstrate "evolution." The gene in question has always existed in the pool composed of variations of human genes. In societies engaged in making dairy products the variation of the gene which permits lactose digestion is widespread, whereas in other communities which consume fewer milk products the variation which does not produce lactase (in adults) is more common.
An example may be given to clarify the situation: All human beings" genes possess the genetic feature of oriental-type eyes, yet this feature is actually expressed in Far Eastern and Eskimo peoples but not in other races.
The real reason for Dawkins" emphasis on the concept of memes is to add credibility to his "selfish gene" claim. Yes, people consciously display cultural behavior. Dawkins can call this "meme" or something else, as he wishes. Yet peoples" displaying cultural behavior makes no contribution whatsoever to the claim, or nonsense, that genes are conscious. The term "meme" which Dawkins employs to adorn his theory of the "selfish gene," is unable to make any contribution to the theory of evolution.
In essence, this claim that "the gene is selfish" dealt with in Focus magazine is a superstition ascribing power and reason to unconscious atoms. The magazine"s authors should stop and think for a moment as they write about "selfish genes." The genes they describe as "selfish," and which they refer to as making selfish plans, are actually molecular chains made up of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon atoms etc. Do they really believe these atoms are "selfish?" In that case they may also believe that the chairs they sit on are jealous, their tables are bashful and their coffee cups melancholic. Once a person is blindly devoted to Darwinism and materialist philosophy there is no falsehood he will not believe.

A Take On the U.S. Presidential Election from Across the Pond
I am not someone who attacks others for their personal beliefs. I do not openly ridicule people for having a specific belief system…unless that belief becomes a law by which I am forced to live my life.
I'm sure you've all been hearing about the current hot topic of women's reproductive rights in the American presidential race. I'm sure you've gathered that there are many Republicans who are in favour of not only making some types of contraceptives illegal, but also banning abortion, despite whether the pregnancy was due to rape and/or incest — and I hope you're angry about it. I consider myself lucky to live in the UK, because while our government is in no way perfect, they're not telling me what to do with my body, either.

6 mo. old puppy lethargic
Hi all,
First off, we have a vet appointment this afternoon, but thought I could get some opinions in the meantime.
Hans has been really lethargic the last 3 days. Even before that, he was slowing down a bit in terms of energy for the last say week or two. I have posted elsewhere that I was worried it was a hip issue and wanted him checked out but now I'm not so sure.
I am only referring to lethargy in terms of energy, not eating or drinking. He is eating and drinking just fine, his poop is totally normal and he's peeing as usual. He begs for table scraps, wants treats, etc. But he just doesn't seem to be interested in playing that much and when he does play, it's at 50% intensity at best. And he seems to sleep all the time.
His routine is: get up at 6:15 am, go for 35-40 min run/play session in a field off-leash with neighbour's Collie and beagle, come home and have breakfast, then crated from 8-10 am, then dog walker picks him up at 10 and drives him over to her property where he can romp around for an hour with her couple of dogs and she drives him back at noon. Then he is crated 12-5:30 when we get back from work. In the evening he has another 35-45 minute walk, almost always off leash somewhere, but not with other dogs, dinner and then he typically falls asleep around 9 pm and sleeps through the night.
The last few days, after his morning romp, he comes home and collapses and sleeps until I leave for work. Usually he'd still want to go play in the yard or he'd pester me as I make my lunch or breakfast, but now he has no interest. Also in the evenings, he'll go for his walk and then fall asleep around 7:30 pm and not get up until the morning except for his last pee of the night. He also just doesn't seem to have the same energy when we get home, he isn't really interested in playing, just finding a quiet spot and lying around.
Last night and this morning we just decided to take him on short walks around the block instead of his runs in the event he was over-tired. He would barely walk and kind of dragged himself slowly and couldn't wait to go home and lie down.
In the last week, he was at my parents' Thurs/Fri (both husband and I away on business) and Sun/Mon night (we were at a wedding and didn't want to leave him alone for that long). He has been there before and absolutely loves it, else I'd honestly think he's depressed after being away. He also had a busy day on Saturday as we had a big BBQ in our backyard and one of the people brought their puppy so they literally ran around playing for 6 hours or so. I expected Hans to be tired after that but he woke up full of energy on Sunday and then since then has been on the lethargic train. I don't think it should last this long? And that wouldn't explain his general trend towards being super calm and chill.
I don't think it's heat, because even though it's been hot and muggy here, to the horror of my husband, I leave the a/c on at 72 for Hans all day as I noticed otherwise he's huffing and puffing more. I thought about pano, but he doesn't seem to favour any particular leg and he has no problem with us putting pressure on those bones, touching them, etc.
Essentially we have a 6 month old pup who is acting like a 12-year-old dog. Any ideas??

Although wood would not be an exceptable material in food processing plants because of cleaning issues using it for personal use in a homemade extractor is no different than using wooden frames as long as the wood can be dried after cleaning. A hobbyist only does one or two batches a year. Use all the wood you want.
Ace and BeeGhost... both of your designs are good for personal use as is most home mead honey extractors. Both have their good point and bad pionts. As far as bearings being in the honey, food grade grease pumped into them after boiling, heating or whatever else needs to be done to remove machine grease is one way to go.Bix what size frames can your machine do?~Randy
