The great ice storm of January 2009 is but a memory to most folks, but down in Hart County, it's alive and kicking. Dennis and I are still plugging along trying to burn the debris a little at a time. It's kind of like the uninvited houseguest that just won't leave.
A month or so ago, I was slaving away in the woods just above the pond, trying to clean up Mother Nature's mess. Our granddaughter Autumn was playing around the area and Papaw was just coming home from the old goat's club at Magnolia Stop and Shop.

The Bhaag Milkha Bhaag actor has embarked upon an initiative that will focus on the safety of women in the country
Actor-filmmaker-singer Farhan Akhtar has started a campaign called MARD – Men Against Rape and Discrimination that aims to sensitise men and create awareness about the safety of women.
"If you are a man who respects women… her rights, her dignity, her independence, her mind, her body, her life… you are a MARD," tweeted Farhan. He has urged all men to sport the logo of MARD on their clothes and take the message across the country. "No restrictions on use of logo. Will be uploading a high resolution file soon. Please feel free to print and wear with pride. MARD," he added.
Farhan has especially urged school authorities to start teaching boys about gender awareness at a very young age. "Teach them at the age when self awareness begins that being a man involves compassion, gender sensitivity and respect for women," he wrote.
Farhan has often spoken about women's safety and had even written a poem on women-related issues after a young girl was gang-raped in the capital on December 16 last year.

Tens of thousands of protesters have marched in Hong Kong through typhoon rains in support of universal suffrage. The march marks the 16th anniversary of the city's return to mainland China's rule.
Drenched by rains from Tropical Storm Rumbia, protesters marched in Hong Kong Monday to demand that China live up to its promise to allow fully democratic elections in the semi-autonomous territory by 2017.
There has been mounting discontent directed at China's communist government amid concerns that Beijing may somehow try to rig the poll to screen out opposition candidates.
Protesters marched and chanted carrying British colonial Hong Kong flags and pro-democracy banners. The procession, which is organized annually by the Civil Human Rights Front, has come on the heels of a survey published by Hong Kong University, which found that only 33 percent of Hong Kong residents took pride in being a Chinese national – the lowest level since 1998.
The former British colony returned to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997, and promised universal suffrage as an "ultimate aim." If the election goes through, Hong Kong will be the first place on Chinese soil to have fully democratic elections.
Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying, who was appointed last July, has also come under harsh criticism as many say he is guilty of kowtowing to Beijing. He is charged with overseeing the transition to universal suffrage, however many say little or no progress has been made.
"The main goal of the rally is to push through for genuine democracy and to ask for Leung Chun-ying to step down," Jackie Hung of the Civil Human Rights Front told the AFP news agency.
However, Beijing has countered that the ability of Hong Kong residents to protest proves that the freedoms guaranteed under the handover agreement were being honored.
"This year, with so many people going on the streets to protest, shows that under the 'one country two systems', Hong Kong has a lot of freedom and rights," the head of Beijing's Liaison Office in Hong Kong, Zhang Xiaoming, told reporters.

This sounds great, except that my brain got stuck on "fun costumes" and is now picturing a whole bunch of people dressed like carrots wandering around exhorting me to eat tasty vegetarian food.

Havent seen the new episode yet (its recorded, so soon...), but I got to watch Pond Life.
And yes its quite entertaining to see the Doctor has to change the light on top of the T.A.R.D.I.S., but what does that mean for the Chameleon Circuit? Say if it was working (fully), and you landed in ancient Greece where and when it would disguise itself as statue. What becomes of the light then?
Spoiler:- Babbling about what I like best in Pond Life::

With most front-rank male actors of a certain age, one finds oneself anticipating their King Lear. (It was recently announced that Simon Russell Beale is to be the next major contender in the Lear stakes.) In the case of Ian McDiarmid (pictured), however, I wonder whether he is not more perfectly attuned to Brecht's protagonist, as suggested by his performance in Roxana Silbert's Royal Shakespeare Company production.
He begins with exceeding animation, as if this Galileo is literally energised by learning and each new discovery has all the excitement of a new game. As his observation-based cosmological theories begin to draw the critical attention of the Catholic Church, he first clings to his belief that knowledge as an absolute good must triumph, then, after his forced recantation, invests every line with a coruscating cynicism ... yet still without giving up his devotion to, as he would put it, limiting the amount of ignorance in the world.
Brecht bookends his play with instances of infraction, of knowledge circumventing official channels: Galileo first tries to sell the idea for the telescope to the Venetian republic after nicking it from reports of the optical instrument in Holland, and the play ends with a manuscript copy of his book Two New Sciences being smuggled out of Papal territory for clandestine publication. Compare the contemporary battle-cry "Information wants to be free" in opposition to attempted online restrictions.
Brecht was not attacking the Church simply because it was the Church but, rather, because it represented a major temporal power of the kind that entrenched orthodoxies protect. As one of those obtrusive Brechtian musical numbers (staged by Silbert in an equally obtrusive carnival style amid her modern-dress production) phrases the liberating potential of the new discoveries, "Better face it: who doesn't want to be their own master?"
Mark Ravenhill's translation uses the indefinite article in the title, in acknowledgment that no single version can be authoritative and/or of the numerous rewrites Brecht himself undertook. McDiarmid receives strong support from, among others, Joel Gillman as the "Little Monk" and Matthew Aubrey as Galileo's housekeeper's son, both won over to join his research team. And in a beautifully detailed piece of set dressing, in the final scene I could just make out the title of one of a suitcaseful of books: Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play The Physicists, which questions Galileo's entire attitude.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
True The Vote Documents Show Hidden Donations, Republican Ties
Scott Swett, who was the webmaster for SwiftVets.com, has been paid $11,000 this year by the King Street Patriots for website services, the Lone Start Project points out. Swett is the founder of New American Media Online Services as well as a director of the conservative message-board site Free Republic.
The Texas Democratic Party has alleged that there is evidence of illegal activity by the King Street Patriots.
"It strains belief that this group is saying they raised $87,000 by passing the hat at their meetings," Chad Dunn, Texas Democratic Party General Counsel, said in a statement this week.
True the Vote and the King Street Patriots have hosted speeches by J. Christian Adams (who has been retained as counsel for True the Vote), David Horowitz and a wide variety of conservative politicians and media figures like Rep. John Culberson (R-TX).
In the wake of scrutiny of their poll-watchers program, True the Vote asserted that claims that poll watchers who have been trained by the organization are intimidating voters come from partisan operatives.
"Many of the poll watchers being attacked are soccer moms and senior citizens, who volunteer their time because they love their country and want to ensure a free and fair election," Catherine Engelbrecht, leader of King Street Patriots, said in a statement yesterday. "The True the Vote poll watcher trainings are for anyone who wants to get involved. Attacks on silent poll watchers are not only against the law but shameful."
A Texas Republican Party representative told TPMMuckraker yesterday that the group "is not directly coordinating with any Tea Party groups."
"We have a task force that's been activated, and we have some lawyers who have donated their time and talents to help us," Chris Elam said. "There's always been voter fraud in Texas, it's undeniable. It happens more in the urban areas of course, but in some of the more rural areas, mail-in ballots are an issue."
"It's been rare that we have gotten to the point where we suspect that it changed the outcome of an election," Elam added. "But our stance is that every vote should be counted and every legal vote should be counted."
True the Vote, Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee and the head of the New Black Panther Party in the area have all agreed that federal poll monitors would be welcomed in the area.
The Justice Department will announce federal poll monitors today. DOJ has already said they are gathering information regarding allegations of voter intimidation in Harris County. Spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler clarified in a statement that there "is no investigation into any specific political organization - including the Tea Party - at this time regarding this matter."

Twins get the win in a wild one
Tigard opens the American Legion playoffs with a 24-15 victory at Hillsboro
HILLSBORO - Nope, it's not quite football season yet.
But, with a look at the Hare Field scoreboard late Saturday night, you could easily be fooled into thinking that the baseball season was done and the gridiron guys had taken over.
The Tigard Twins American Legion AAA baseball team opened its Metro-Area playoffs, best-of-three first-round series by scoring a 24-15 - that's right, 24-15 - win over Hillsboro in a game that took nearly 4½ hours to complete Saturday at Hare Field.
'I've never coached in a game like that before,' Tigard coach Jason Stanley said after the game. 'That was a marathon. It was wild.'
Wild, and, for awhile, nerve-wracking for the Twins.
Tigard, roaring at the start, jumped out to a 13-1 lead after three innings of play. But Hillsboro came storming back, cutting the lead to 16-14 after seven innings of the nine-inning game.
However, the Twins scored three runs in the top of the eighth and five more in the ninth to push their lead to 24-15.
'That's when Gunnar (Cederberg) said `even a touchdown won't hurt us now,'' Tigard's Ryan Gorton said with a laugh.
Gorton was one of a handful of Twins players who had a big night at the plate in Saturday's lengthy postseason play.
He went 5-for-8 with two home runs, a double, five runs scored, six RBI and two stolen bases.
'That was my first multi-home run game ever,' he said.
Tigard's Andrew Woolfe went 6-for-6 with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored and three RBI. He also walked once and was hit by a pitch. Josh Harbolt reached base in all seven of his plate appearances. He went 4-for-4 with a double, two runs and four RBI while also walking twice and getting hit by a pitch.
The list doesn't stop there. Nate Grisham had a pair of hits while scoring four runs and driving in two, Patrick Chabreck had three hits and drove in three runs and Gunnar Cederberg had a pair of hits, including a double, and he scored three times while also driving in a run.
The Twins, as a team, had 27 base hits in the victory.
'When I got here today, I had a feeling something like this might happen,' Gorton said. 'I've never played in a game that got over at 11:20 (p.m.) before.'
The Twins started fast in Saturday's game. They scored four runs in the top of the first inning behind a run-scoring double by Harbolt and RBI singles by Grisham and Chabreck. In the second inning, Gorton and Woolfe hit back-to-back oubles and Harbolt ripped a two-run single as Tigard pushed its lead to 7-0.
Tigard scored four more times in the top of the third and, in the fourth inning, Gorton followed Jeff Jones' double with a two-run home run over the fence in center field as the Twins upped the margin to 13-1.
But Hillsboro started battling back. The Spartans scored a run in the bottom of the fourth and that added six more in the fifth, with the big hit being a bases-loaded triple by Jeremy Lorence, to make the score 13-8.
Woolfe blasted his home run, a solo shot, in Tigard's three-run sixth inning, pushing the lead to 16-8.
But the Spartans scored the game's next six runs. David Gorton hit a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning to trim Tigard's advantage to 16-14.
'I think we got a little nervous there,' Gorton said. 'I know I was sweating.'
Gorton took care of that nervousness in the top of the eighth. With two outs in the frame, and with Harbolt on second base and Jim Blood on first, Gorton hit his second homer of the game with a shot that cleared the fence in left-center field.
'That felt pretty good,' he said with a smile.
Tigard added on five more runs in the top of the ninth and Gorton, pitching in relief, threw a perfect bottom of the frame to wrap up the Twins' wild 24-15 win.
'The kids really battled,' Stanley said.
Ben Millar, the first of three Tigard relief pitchers, got the win. Twins starter Miles Kreisberg worked the first 4 2/3 innings and left the game with a 13-4 lead.
The Twins advanced in the playoffs by sweeping Hillsboro with a 13-8 victory in Tigard on Sunday.
The Twins pounded out 15 hits and broke open a close game with five runs in the eighth to take a 13-6 lead. Tigard batted through the order in the frame with Jones driving in a pair of runs.
Cederberg added an RBI single. He stole third with two outs as the batter swung at a third strike in the dirt. The catcher's throw to first was off the mark as Cederberg came around to score for some insurance.
Woolfe finished the series 10 for 11 after collecting four hits, including a pair of doubles. Isaiah Ferrer also had four hits for Tigard.
Gorton threw the final two innings to pick up the save.
The Twins move on to play East County in another three-game series that began Wednesday night in Sandy. Tigard hosts the Knights in a 8:30 p.m. game Thursday with a Friday game at Sandy if necessary.
"Hopefully we keep swinging the bats like we have," Stanley said. "We should be competitive. I feel we can play with most anybody."

However, when John Law suspends your license, you don't try to drive said car from the courthouse.David B. "Mister Oldskool" Johnson rolled up to the Markham, Illinois, Courthouse in his 1988 Cadillac Sedan DeVille, and every detail was in place, from the purple fedora and full-length fur coat to the "PIMP PLAZA" plaque on the dash. Well, every detail save one really important one: his driver's license. You see, the reason for the courthouse visit was the little matter of 13 charges of driving on a suspended license, and the judge issued a 10-day jail sentence beginning next week… with stern orders not to drive until then. So, Cook County Sheriff's Deputy Frank Czerwinski figured he had the proverbial fish-in-a-barrel bust when Mister Oldskool headed out to his ride, dusted it off with a purple feather duster, and drove off. Straight to jail, and we can only hope the tow truck driver was nice to that Cadillac. [Chicago Sun-Times, thanks to 57Sweptside for the tip]

Cinema 70
280 Del Monte Center,
1 person favorited this theater
Cinema 70 was designed for showing 70mm films.
It was a large 1,100 auditorium with all seating on one level. The auditorium and entrance was on the lower level of the Monterey Del Monte Shopping Center.
The theatre eventually was closed by UA and the auditorium space was remodeled by Century Theatres into a 6-plex named Galaxy Cinemas.
In November 2004, Century Theatres closed the Galaxy when they opened the new Del Monte 13 cinemas. The space once occupied by Cinema 70 and Galaxy is supposedly going to be converted into retail space for the nearby Macy's store.

Totally sickening, the beauty of the big screen experiance being shreeded apart by UA for the value of a dollar. I remember seeing Doctor Dolittle here. These big beautiful screens are now just memories of a bygone era, only recreated for the rich in afflueent areas that charge $25/seat for the recreation of those memories. Monster pack'em in, double arch cheeseburger megaplexes, are just glorified commercial venues that screen advertisements for DVD's of some remake of the or 50's or 60's (alas Dr. Dolittle, Cheaper by the Dozen). Yes, the glorious Cinema 70 (and 70mm production) has fallen victim to the age of pixelated packaging in the land remakes.
-Aaron K. Canales (Film Projectionist)
The Galaxy 6 was actually remodelled by CinemaCal Enterprises and later operated by Century Theatres while the Del Monte 13 was being developed. The Galaxy was similar in design to a number of CinemaCal's other locations, featuring the Brejfus sound panels of movie stars and film characters.
Could this possibly be the theatre that opened in 1967 with "Hawaii"?
The rebuilding of Cinema 70 as the Galaxy 6 was designed by San Francisco architect Daniel T. Uesugi.
The Galaxy was built a few hundred feet from where the Cinema 70 stood,beneath the video game arcade if I remember right. Same mall, different buildings so Im not sure how that effects the address.
I remember loving the Galaxy's flashing neon (that fell into disrepair within a year) and art deco lettering.Only the Dream theater at that time had any good looking signage.
The Cinema 70 used to scare me as a kid cause it was an industrial, not very glam Carlsbad sized dark cavern by the time I was seeing movies there in the late 70s early 80s. But, see the right film there and it was totally immersive. Seeing the Michael Keaton Batman was intense. I went to Hunt For Red October there twice because the screen was so HUGE that you felt like you were under water watching the sub chases. I instinctively looked up when one of the subs when swooping "overhead".
I think it was the mid 90s when the Cinema 70 closed and it wasnt long before I missed having a screen that size anywhere.
I suppose its obvious from the name but; was the Cinema 70 a 70 mm or CinemaScope house? I can only imagine how cool seeing "the Master" there wouldve been.

Egypt's military culture is unique. Every young officer candidate is imbued with the idea that the armed forces saved Egypt from European colonialism, Zionism and corruption and that as military officers they are set apart from the rest of society. It will take many years to instill the top brass with the notion that civilians are their superiors and they should owe their loyalty to a democratic system.
Washington policy wonks will be tempted to suggest more funding for Egyptians to take part in the International Military Education and Training program, which gives officers from friendly countries an opportunity to learn from the U.S. military about civilian control of the armed forces, respect for human rights, upholding of democratic values and the importance of the rule of law. That's is a good idea, but this small program will not provide the necessary sea change in the way the Egyptian armed forces educates and socializes its officer corps. That is the responsibility of Egyptians, especially civilian leaders, who must not continue to tolerate the military's desire to rule while leaving it to civilians to govern.
It won't be easy. The military, which protected the Jan. 25 revolution, has become the arbiter in the struggle among Egypt's political forces, none of which can impose its will on the others. This is why groups that a year ago celebrated the ascendance of an elected civilian president and assailed the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces are now delighted that the military has once again stepped into the political arena. If Egyptians truly want the military out of politics, they are going to have to learn the art of compromise.

Story highlights
- Oxford University win 159th edition of prestigious boat race against Cambridge
- The "dark blues" cruise over finish line one-and-a-half lengths ahead of rivals
- Strong military presence ensures there's no repeat of last year's anti-elitist protest
- Tradition and prestige loom large in Britain's greatest grudge match
Eyes trained straight ahead, the 16 young men are as grim-faced as pall-bearers as they carry their respective team's boats down to the river's edge.
Weighing on their broad shoulders isn't just a 20-meter vessel -- it's 184 years of tradition, six months of grueling physical training, and a fierce rivalry between two of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Welcome to the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race; 6.8 kilometers of sweat, tears, and the occasional sinking in London's River Thames.
Almost every year since 1829, the universities' rowing teams have battled it out in arguably the greatest -- and most controversial -- grudge matches in Britain's sporting history.
"It's the preeminent student varsity match in the world," Matthew Pinsent, former Oxford rower and four-time Olympic gold medalist, told CNN.
"It's unlike any other rowing race -- it's a very long distance over a particularly torturous piece of river."
Oxford triumph
Oxford emerged victorious in the 159th edition of the race on Sunday, cruising over the finish line a length-and-a-half ahead of their rivals, under a torrent of jubilant expletives from cox Oskar Zorrilla.
It was an emotional win for the team who named their boat after former cox and Olympic silver medalist Acer Nethercott, who died earlier this year from cancer, aged 35.
But Oxford, better known as the "dark blues," due to their distinctive uniforms, still trail behind Cambridge's "light blues" in the long history of the race -- 77 to 81.
Indeed, giant billboards dotted along the riverbank screamed "Which blue are you?" to the thousands of onlookers who braved smatterings of snow to cheer on the rowers in their 17-minute crusade from Putney to Mortlake.
Protest, elitism and wild boar sausages
There was none of the drama of last year, however, when Australian protester Trenton Oldfield brought the race to a standstill after plunging between the boats and narrowly avoiding the pounding oars.
The anti-elitism campaigner served seven weeks in prison for the stunt -- though he's admitted if the weather had been this foul in 2012 he might have been more reluctant to dive into the murky Thames.
Freezing weather aside, the Royal Marine Commandos weren't taking any chances, arming themselves with thermal imaging equipment as they patrolled the course.
It appears that if Oldfield had hoped to discourage the stereotypical Barbour jacket-wearing "hooray-henry" crowd, he failed miserably.
Going hand-in-hand with prestige is wealth, and the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race is no exception.
Beside the traditional pubs lining the riverbank this weekend were champagne-sponsored soirees and stalls selling wild boar sausages.
If any more proof was needed of the race's upper-class flavor, it was surely found in the title sponsor -- global financial services firm BNY Mellon.
Elitist? Far from it, argued Cambridge University Boat Club President, George Nash, who instead called the race "the ultimate meritocracy."
"You get to the university on your academic merit and you make the team on your rowing merit," he said. "It doesn't matter who your parents are."
No pain, no gain
Regardless of its character, there's no disputing the race's reputation as a breeding ground for future Olympians.
It regularly attracts the best athletes from across the world -- including U.S. competitors the Winklevoss twins, who rowed for Oxford in 2010 and are perhaps best known as the former business partners of Mark Zuckerberg, who alleged that Zuckerberg stole the idea for Facebook from them.
Training is a grueling commitment which begins in September, and it's estimated that for every stroke made on race day, 600 have been made during practice.
An average day will begin at 5am, with competitors training around five-hours-a day, seven-days-a-week.
"It's of the highest importance to us -- we sacrifice six months of our lives for 16 minutes," Nash said.
"I'd say there's definitely lots of cases where the boat race has caused many a break-up."
Tradition rules
Since old school chums Charles Merivale, a student at Cambridge, and Charles Wordsworth, of Oxford, first challenged each other to a rowing race in the early 19th century, the competition has gained legendary status in Britain, attracting millions of TV viewers each year.
Fabled stories such as the "1877 dead heat" -- where judge "Honest John" Phelps had his view of the finish line obscured -- add to the almost mythical character of the competition.
Tradition continues to loom large in the race which begins with the toss of an 1829 gold coin and ends with throwing the winning cox into the water.
Today that strong sense of history sits happily beside state-of-the-art sports equipment and up-to-the-minute media coverage.
And while opinion remains divided on its merit -- Telegraph journalist Tom Chivers described the boat race as "fantastically boring" -- there's no denying its enduring place in the nation's history.

WiFi Momentum Continues — WBA Holds Global Summit
Just concluding today is the WiFi Global Summit in San Francisco, hosted by the Wireless Broadband Alliance.
Billed as the world's largest carrier-grade WiFi event, the Summit was very successful. More than 400 people attended; all the sessions were well attended, with many of them packed; and feedback was positive.
Attendees included industry analysts, media, leading telcos, Wi-Fi and cable operators, roaming hub providers and vendors. The attendance and feedback underscored the growing importance and visibility of WiFi from both the service provider and enterprise perspectives.
Cisco's Kelly Ahuja delivered one of the keynotes, and other Cisco people participated.
Also exciting from our perspective was that Cisco won two awards, and a key partner – BT – earned one.
Cisco, with its partner operator True (Thailand) won for:
- Best Next-Generation Hotspot (NGH) Initiative Award
Cisco also won for:
- Best Wi-Fi Technology Innovation Award (vendors) . . . for the Cisco Aironet 3600 Next-Generation Design
BT won for Most Innovative Hotspot Venue, as the operator ensured that the whole of London was connected during the 2012 Olympic Games. The BT system is based significantly on Cisco solutions.
Much more to come from Cisco on the WiFi front . .

text: Samurai ErgonomicsBrian Lam4/13/09 11:00pmFiled to: ErgonomicsSamuraiSwordsswordSwordsmanNinjas19EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkI have ignored computer ergonomic professionals my entire computing life, but this winter, a pain in my lower back would not go away. Instead of listening to "experts" I followed the advice of ancient swordsmen.AdvertisementSamurai guards used to sit in a kneeling position, with one knee up and one knee on the ground. The instability of the position, which required an active rebalancing, along with the slight tinge of pain on the lowered knee cap on the ground, made it ideal for long uneventful shifts. The position kept people awake, which kept them sharp and engaged so they'd be ready when the sonofabitch ninjas finally showed their facemasks. It's like a single replacement for a chair, and coffee. I find that physiologically it also makes a great alternative to the sitting position, where one's back and gluts and neck are constantly stretched while the hip flexors and abs are constantly compressed but unused. This way, I stretch one leg at a time. The kneeling also keeps my eyes level with the screen of a laptop, and the desk too relatively high to lean on (which causes me to slouch). I don't get too tired, as I can rest my chest against the desk when I need to.AdvertisementThrough the day, I sit on an exercise ball, too, but I never feel better than when I am in the sitting stance. Swordsmen were also able to draw swords from this stance, to address attackers in front and behind them. I just change knees every few emails. Just in case the ninjas show. [Iaido, image from] Click to view*This stance works for me, but I am not an ergonomic expert. Obviously.UPDATE: Yeah, this shit makes my knees feel like shit. Don't listen to me.Reply19 repliesLeave a reply

Get the World in Conflict Trailer off WP (25mb)
"World in Conflict will take strategy games in a new, exciting direction, narrowing the gameplay focus on the best part – the intense action of modern warfare – and challenges gamers to work together to defeat the most powerful armies the world has ever seen," said Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for VU Games. "Massive Entertainment's critically acclaimed Ground Control® series represented landmark advances in 3D technology. World in Conflict will continue that legacy and bring the strategy genre to the next generation."
World in Conflict presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario where the Berlin Wall never fell. Created by Cold War authority and best-selling author Larry Bond, the story begins in 1989 as the Soviets, fearing certain collapse, boldly advance into Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front -- a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland. Players take on the role of field commander, leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs.
"With World in Conflict, our focus has been to create the maximum number of tactical choices, climactic battles and other game-shifting events that occur during each scenario or multiplayer match," said Martin Walfisz, Founder and CEO of Massive Entertainment. "We've done this through a focus on the one thing people love most about strategy gaming – the combat."
Features in World in Conflict include:
- Super-Powered Warfare: Unleash the arsenals of the great military superpowers in the gripping single-player story created by Larry Bond.
- Bleeding-Edge Graphics – The latest version of Massive's proprietary Masstech engine allows for a full 360° range of camera control and features advanced lighting and physics effects.
- Complete Destructibility – As the battle rages, the world environment pays the price -- every object in the game will crumble under the force of war, including cars, buildings and forests.
- Deep Multiplayer Modes: Using Massive's proprietary Massgate multiplayer server system, World in Conflict will support up to 16 players for head-to-head, team-based battles.
- Real World Units: Players will take control of the most devastating arsenal of military weaponry ever created, including Soviet, American and NATO tanks, planes, trucks, troops and helicopters as well as nuclear weapons.
- Player Roles – Players will choose to play as Infantry, Armor, Support Forces, or Aerial specialists; multiplayer teams will need to master each role for maximum effectiveness.
World in Conflict is expected to ship in Spring 2007.

Installing trailer wiring harness on Laredo E
Hi All
I have a 2012 Laredo E. I need to add an aftermarket trailer hitch which I was planning to do my self. However, after reading one of the posts on this site, it sounds like the wiring might be more complicated than I thought. It sounds like the Laredo E does not come with a wiring harness already installed beneath the bumper. Only the higher level models have that feature. I saw somewhere else that someone suggested that I would need to tap into the wiring in the cargo area and let the wire run down to the hitch area over the bumper. Can anyone tell me what I'll have to do to set up this wiring? Thanks |

text: I was wondering if I could get some feedback about selecting the best book for my students at my community college. I teach an intro geology course in which i have use tarbuck et. al Earth, intro to physical geology; then switch to Reynolds et al Exploring geology. I found that the exploring geology even though is the best book so far, it might be better suited for geology major students. I am considering switching either to the essential earth (freeman) and cengage learning book: Geol. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Director: Prof. Philippe Chenaux
Established in 1998 at the Pontifical Lateran University, this Center for Studies and Research is a center for documentation and studies that aim to promote scientific research about Vatican II. Associated with the Faculty of Theology's Chair of Contemporary and Modern Church History, it desires to collaborate with all of the University's Faculties and Institutes.
The Director holds the above mentioned Chair, and the Secretary looks after the Center's routine activities, as well as its Library and Archives, where its entire patrimony is conserved.
- The Center strives to promote studies and scientific research on Vatican II. To this end, the Center has two goals:
1. Our Documentary Goal
– To provide researchers with new archival documents and other resources (inventories, bibliographies, catalogs) related to Vatican II history;
– To collect, catalog, and enhance items received from professors and alumni (Popes, Fathers, Theologians, and Periti) who participated in the Council;
– To identify and inventory other items from private archives or collections of documents related to the Council's history;
– To make available a collection of specialized texts about the history and the debates surrounding Vatican II.
2. Our Research Goal is directed toward advancing research at Lateran University (license and doctoral theses, general studies). The Center meets this goal by:
– Organizing conferences, seminars, and scientific discussions, also in collaboration with other Italian or international institutions and centers of research;
– Redacting a journal that accepts research and unpublished works about Vatican II and keeps the spirit of the Council alive among the clergy and the students formed at our University.
The Center's Structure
Il Direttore e il Segretario garantiscono l'aggiornamento scientifico e il funzionamento del Centro, grazie anche alla consulenza di un Comitato Scientifico. Il Centro è dotato di una propria Biblioteca e di un proprio Archivio storico, le cui banche-dati sono aperte ad ogni studioso. I servizi offerti e le modalità di consultazione dei patrimoni archivistici e librari conservati sono definite dal Regolamento.
L'accesso al Centro è subordinato alla presentazione, da parte degli studenti e studiosi interessati, di una lettera di malleveria firmata da una autorevole personalità scientifica. Una volta ammessi alla consultazione del materiale, gli utenti sono tenuti ad apporre il proprio nome e cognome e la propria firma nel registro delle presenze.
- The Center strives to promote studies and scientific research on Vatican II. To this end, the Center has two goals:
- Archive
The Archive conserves the personal archives of prominent persons–participants, scholars, and observers–who contributed to studies on the Council and were Lateran professors or alumni.
An inventory is currently being made of the collections and will be completed within the next few months. It is possible to request specific information about those collections not yet open for consultation.
– Collection CEI
– Collection Card. Georges Marie COTTIER
– Collection Msgr. Michele MACCARRONE
– Collection Card. Pietro PAVAN
– Collection Msgr. Antonio PIOLANTI
– Collection Msgr. Marcello VENTURI
In addition to archival collections, the Center maintains a collection of books about Council history and related themes. The online cataloguing of materials is currently in progress; in the meantime, research may be done using the Center's internal catalog.
Materials can be consulted upon request. Books may be borrowed exclusively by other organizations and centers of study.
It is possible to make photocopies.
- Archive
- 1. The journal CVII – Centro Vaticano II. Ricerche e Documenti.
Published by the Center since 2000, this biannual, multilingual journal, CVII – Centro Vaticano II. Ricerche e Documenti, gathers together contributions by important Italian and international scholars (historians, theologians).
The journal accepts studies, updated research, bibliographic news, reviews of the latest publications regarding Vatican II, etc.
The Editorial Board accepts and evaluates book reviews, articles, and other contributions according to its publication goals. Texts sent to the Center will not be returned.

Teenager drowns in Missouri River while fishing
Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:03:55 GMT —
The victim has been identified by the Missouri Water Patrol as Andrew L. Williams of St. Louis.
The body of the 18-year-old man has been pulled from the Missouri River in south Boone County. The Boone County Fire Protection District said Williams, who could not swim, was fishing with an uncle and cousin when he waded into the water and fell into a deep spot.
The others formed a human chain and tried to pull him to safety but lost their grip on him. The incident happened near Cooper's Landing off a sandbar that sits at the mouth of the Perche Creek.
Williams went under around 2 p.m. and his body was recovered in the same area about three and a half hours later.

U.S. Taxpayers Need Break From Underwater Flood Insurance
Hurricane Sandy is forcing a re-evaluation of climate change, seawalls and the nation's power grid.
It should also prompt a re-examination of federal flood insurance. The program gives unneeded subsidies to those with expensive beach properties, skews incentives and repeatedly needs taxpayer bailouts.
Congress established the program three years after 1965's Hurricane Betsy, which hit New Orleans and was the first storm to inflict more than $1 billion in damage. The aim was to avoid the repeated and enormous costs of providing disaster aid. Private insurers wouldn't underwrite flood coverage; everyone living in a flood plain is a potential claimant. The government decided it had no choice but to create a market from scratch.
Today, about 90 private companies sell the policies while the Federal Emergency Management Agency manages the $1.27 trillion of insurance in force. Homeowners can insure their properties for up to $350,000, businesses for $1 million. Premiums are lower than they would be based on market prices because of direct subsidies and the government backstop.
Even under the most optimistic scenario, the program charges too little for coverage. One 2010 study found that if there were no unusual weather events, the main cause of major flooding, it would take 100 years for the program to earn its way out of the deficit accumulated from past floods.
Credit Line
Sandy might bring in as many as 300,000 claims. After last year's Hurricane Irene, a less-violent storm, the average payout was about $30,000. Back-of-the-envelope math suggests a $9 billion hit to the program. And that could be a conservative estimate given Sandy's force and the high property values in hard-hit New York and New Jersey, where the program underwrites $96 billion of coverage.
Claims of that scope would blow through the program's $20 billion credit line with the U.S. Treasury, which has already been tapped for almost $18 billion thanks mostly to Hurricane Katrina.
Flood insurance also poses a moral hazard, encouraging people to engage in riskier behavior because they don't bear all the costs. This has led to an explosion of development in flood-prone areas, particularly the wetlands so vital to protecting coastal areas from lethal storm surges. It's no surprise that Florida, with its vast coastline, is where more than a third of the 5.6 million flood policies have been sold.
This year, Congress reauthorized the program for five years with the goal of putting it on a sounder financial footing. Coverage of vacation homes and properties with repeated claims will be phased out; rates will increase to help build a reserve fund to absorb losses; and FEMA has been instructed to develop more accurate maps of flood plains.
This was a step in the right direction. But the revisions aren't enough amid a changing climate that might make big storms (and big flood-insurance claims) more frequent.
The reserve fund the program is supposed to accumulate is pegged at 1 percent of the flood insurance in force. An average hurricane making landfall in Florida could wipe that out. To be effective, the reserve would have to be a good deal bigger.
The government also needs to do a better job of spreading risk. The insurance industry is far more sophisticated than it was 40 years ago and has developed deep markets for reinsurance. Reinsurers basically sell insurance to insurers. This helps protect a company -- or in this case, the flood insurance program -- in the event of catastrophic-loss claims.
Reflecting Risks
Premiums not only need to rise, but also must reflect actual risks. Today, the program offers uniform rates based mainly on flood-plain classification. This method fails to take account of the risk profiles of individual properties.
Perhaps most important, the program hasn't found a good solution for coping with self-inflicted adverse selection, in this case the requirement that property owners in high-risk locations purchase expensive coverage while those with slightly less risk can get large subsidies or don't have to buy. This limits the size of the premium pool. One possible answer is for more mortgage lenders to require insurance on properties in lower-risk flood plains as a condition of loan approval.
For the second year in a row, the Northeast was hit by a devastating storm. More are inevitable. Strengthening flood insurance is crucial to those who need it most: the middle-class Americans and small businesses whose lives and livelihoods depend on being close to the water. With the right fixes, the program might avoid more taxpayer bailouts and will be able to stand up to the storm.

Today, I checked my financial aid status for next school year, and I discovered that I was awarded a $4000 scholarship, my first scholarship in my college career. I am ecstatic! I exited my room and danced around the lounge singing:
"Oh mommy, oh daddy, I am a big ol' baddy! Oh mommy, oh daddy, I am a big ol' baddy!"
Yes, I was stared at, but that is alright. Once I was done, I disappeared back into my dorm room.
This all means that my study abroad program is completely paid for! The only things I need to worry about is my flight and my personal needs. This is completely awesome!

How would yo reflect an LED
I want to put strobe lights on the wing-tips. Of course the LED does not have a very wide viewing angle. What would you use to reflect/refract the light so it could be seen from more than just straight on?
I was thinking of something like this to attach to the front of the LED: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8mm-Alexandr...90858835518%26 I also thought of a small reflector made similar to a small flashlight reflector, without a hole in the center, and put the LED out front of it, pointing back at it. I don't know where I would get such a thing. A tiny version of this would be nice: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LOT-GENERAL-E...item43adb74b58 |
I wonder what they do with these. Wire in series so they will take 12v or parallel with a resistor?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/10x-194-168-T...item4164bfb142 |
That seems to work well for the red one. I did a couple for the beacon with 400 paper and I think it should look fairly good as the whole thing seems to glow red now. I was thinking painting the tip of it white will also reflect the light back into it and make the diffusion from the sandpaper look even better.
I thought doing that for the strobe might make it lose some of the "sharpness" but may be worth a try. |
Maybe this may be what I am looking for: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/100pcs-5mm-Wh...item2c6010d079 Or maybe this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-50pcs-5mm...item5aeeb5f3bf They say 14,000 but the ones I got are 55,000 I saw some others that have the top with a cone shaped depression which I could reproduce with a drill bit but wouldn't it need to be polished? What if I just did that and painted it white? |

Aaahhhhh.....pi$$ on it, I just ordered a couple of these:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=11744 Will use the LED's for tail nav lights maybe. |
For brightness and viewing angle I think nothing beats these http://www.cree.com/led-components-a...onal/xlamp-xpe . They're very small, surface-mounted, and need a heatsink if they're going to be on continuously. But for strobe-like flashes I've been using them for several months now without a heatsink, without any apparent problem. They're visible in daylight at normal flying height, and with them angled at 45 degrees sideways in the wingtips, I can easily see both of them when the plane is coming towards me.
I build flashlights using many of the Cree LED types. They are fantastic and bright as mentioned most need a heatsink for continuous use. but having them blinking will work just fine if you look at many of the cree leds there is a bubble over the diode this is used to increase the viewing angle as well as protect the phosphurous. I have had the bubble come off on some leds and was able to replace it with a dab of clear silicone while the light is slightly dimmer the viewing angle was still quite good. Try it out you want to create a small bubble shaped dome over the led
I picked up some of the CREE LED's and started doing an install and was a little disappointed with the result. Were not as bright as I was expecting. Then got browsing around the specs and got to thinking.
I had just grabbed a resistor from a bag of ones that came with some other diodes to use as a current limiter. Once I did some voltage checking I discovered I was not running any where near the max that they say is allowed. Once I fiddled with some resistance values I am now seeing the kind of bright light that I expected. Now I will have to take the current limiter off the circuit board that I made with the ATTiny flasher and put the correct resistor at each diode so I get nice bright light. I will shoot for very near max allowed voltage since they will be always just on a flash cycle and I have retained some of the heatsink they came with there will be no fear of overheating. |
I got mine without heatsinks, davidmc36, and sized the resistors so that they would run at 500mA (about 50% to 80% of maximum, depending on colour) at 5v input. Resistor values range from 2.7ohms 1watt (green) to 5.6ohms 2 watt (red). They're running on a strobe cycle which results in them being on for approximately 2% of the time. In that scenario they don't seem to suffer any over-heating (I've been using them since Spring 2012), but I've used fully-rated resistors, rather than the "standard" 1/2 watt ones, just to be safe.
In the model they're installed in at the moment the landing lights are regular 5mm LEDs, but I've got a couple of heatsinks for the Crees so I can use them for landing lights in the next installation. Might have to reduce their brightness so I don't blind myself when landing |
That's about where I figured I would end up once I finish fiddling around is the 3 to 5 ohm range. The last check I did was with 12 ohms putting about 6.3 volts into the Tiny. It puts out about 5.8 volts on the outputs but that was a bench check 5 cell and the battery pack in the plane is only 4 cell so it will only need a smaller value resistor. The Cree's should be super bright once it is all calibrated and with two in each wing tip it will make for a pretty realistic strobe. It will be nice to have the choice of LED's or the Xenon.
I have some 10mm whites for landing lights in the 182 and running them in series off the Rx pack. Now that I am working out the brightness of the Cree's I just may work out a set-up for the Twin Otter using the Cree's that came with heatsinks. I could set up landing lights and keep the area of wing leading edge cut-out to a minimum. |
what cree chip did you get I wanted to mention the R2 its a tiny package and offeres the most light output for the package size. Most of the flashlights I build are made for throw meaning they cast a laser like beam of light rather then flood an area this is largly dependant on the reflector type but you need LED power as well (Lumens). I have run R2's using a good driver from 1.5 - 7.4V the higher the voltage the more that LED will shine. If you look for proper mounting plates (Star) for these they are aluminum and sink heat well for your needs that would be all you need for long life as your not running continous for extended periods.http://m.dealextreme.com/p/cree-xr-e...ium-star-15943. Stars can be bought in different sizes so look for the smallest to save weight
I got some of these:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221192861752?...e=STRK:null:IT That star looks nice as the cut-out areas will make extra surface area for heat transfer. Are the ones toward the bottom the R2?: http://ca.mouser.com/search/refine.a...aign=119142901 |

Mumbai: In what could give jolt to the prospect of joining hands of the Thackeray clan, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray is said to have prevented his followers from attending the funeral of his uncle, Balalasaheb Thackeray. (Agencies) Latest News from India News Desk
According to close sources, many of the MNS workers thronged at Raj Thackeray's residence on Sunday and expressed their willingness to join the funeral procession of Balasaheb, but they returned back after being denied to do so by their leader.
Giving the spin to the speculation of differences between two cousins and depleting the chance of merging the MNS with Shiv Sena, Raj was conspicuous by his absence on the cortege carrying Balasaheb's earthly body during the Sunday's procession as his cousin Uddhav was there with his son, wife and other family members.
Asked about this matter, an office bearer of MNS said, "Merger of the two parties is quite unlikely. Our party will continue to work for the cause of Marathi people."
Striking the antagonistic note, Shiv Sena leaders stated, "Our party will continue to pursue the agenda of Hindutva. We are not excited to see the clubbing of Shive Sena with MNS."
Raj Thackeray parted his way with Shiv Sena in early 2006 and launched a new political outfit MNS after his differences with Balasaheb Thackeray over the issue of nomination of his heir.

Thinking Politically || The political Illiterate and political participation today
I have thought about this quote often lately as studies have revealed what I thought was common sense: that America leans more towards an oligarchy than democracy. I thought this was obvious because that's the way we started. Our Founding Fathers were not representative of the average person due to their wealth or influence.
But I am wondering though what constitutes taking part in political life? I don't think voting is the de facto method of political participation. I really don't feel voting is as meaningful as we want it to be with all the influence of money from the corporations and wealthy.
What do you think. I am curious to know ?

472 part number question
I've got a '74 472. There is a tube from the air injection pump that runs between the heads. I want to remove this tube and block the ports in the heads. So I need some plugs. Does anyone have a part number? Will Napa have something?

you might be able to find those at NAPA. If you can't get them there, check with your local speed shop. If they don't have them they should be able to get them. That same plug should also be on the opposite end of the head if you need one for reference.

No. 178 WHEREAS, The State of Texas traditionally has recognized a variety of official state symbols as tangible representations of the proud spirit and heritage of our state; and WHEREAS, The bluebonnet, the pecan tree, the Guadalupe bass, and the lightning whelk are examples of some natural specimens that serve to symbolize the great diversity of the Texas landscape, while the state dish, chili, fittingly represents another aspect of our shared culture as Texans; and WHEREAS, In keeping with this custom, the designation of an Official State Mammal of Texas has been the subject of an extensive statewide mock election participated in by hundreds of elementary school children throughout our state; and WHEREAS, The two front-runners in this race have been the armadillo and the longhorn; and WHEREAS, Once the cornerstone of the Texas cattle industry, an estimated 10 million longhorns were herded from Texas to midwestern and western markets during the quarter century that followed the Civil War, providing invaluable stability to the state's postwar economy; and WHEREAS, The longhorn's distinctive profile commands an immediate association with the State of Texas nationwide and is fittingly used as a visual symbol by businesses from the Rio Grande Valley to the Panhandle; and WHEREAS, The other candidate for designation as Official State Mammal, the armadillo, is a hardy, pioneering creature that chose to begin migrating here at about the time that Texas became a state; and WHEREAS, the armadillo possesses many remarkable and unique traits, some of which parallel the attributes that distinguish a true Texan, such as a deep respect and need for the land, the ability to change and adapt, and a fierce undying love for freedom; and WHEREAS, As proud and indomitable as the state from which they hail, both the longhorn and the armadillo will serve as fitting symbols of Texas' unique heritage; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the 74th Legislature of the State of Texas hereby designate the longhorn the official Large State Mammal of Texas and the armadillo the official Small State Mammal of Texas. House Concurrent Resolution No. 178, 74th Legislature, Regular Session (1995)

A daytrip round the orbital Glasgow Subway (AKA Clockwork Orange) getting off at each stop to visit a pub and have a pint. There's 15 stops and therefore 15 pints.... Although it's commonly accepted that you should "Complete the circle" and finish back where you started, therefore having 16 pints in order to have fully conquered the Subcrawl.
