Texans complete wheeling, dealing
Published 5:30 am, Friday, July 19, 2002
A marathon of negotiations finally came to an end Thursday when the Texans reached agreements with their final three unsigned draft picks, ensuring that all 12 draft picks will be present Saturday when players are scheduled to report to training camp.
Fullback Jarrod Baxter signed a three-year $1.035 million contract, including a $130,000 signing bonus, and running back Jonathan Wells agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth $1.255 million with a $350,000 signing bonus.
Sources say the Texans reached a tentative agreement with receiver Jabar Gaffney on Thursday and that the first overall pick of the second round will sign the deal today.
Despite having more draft picks than any team in the NFL, general manager Charley Casserly and director of negotiations Dan Ferens helped the Texans become the first team in the league to reach agreements will all of its draftees.
There was a greater sense of urgency for the Texans to get their draft picks signed because they report to training camp earlier than any other NFL team. Also, the fact the team reached an agreement with first-round pick quarterback David Carr before the draft was an advantage.
Baxter, a fifth-round pick from New Mexico, arguably is the most talented fullback on the roster and could quickly move to the top of the depth chart during training camp.
He rushed for 2,090 yards and 19 touchdowns as a four-year starter at New Mexico, but he isn't expecting many carries in Chris Palmer's offense, which historically hasn't featured an abundance of handoffs to the fullback.
"I have to be consistent catching the ball," said Baxter, 6-0, 245 pounds. "Blocking and catching; that's it. Every now and then, I might get a chance to carry the ball, maybe ... possibly. But I already put that out of my mind a long time ago."
The Texans held three minicamps during the offseason, but because of Ohio State's late graduation date, Wells (6-1, 245) missed all of the second one and most of the last one.
The coaches were impressed with what little they saw of the fourth-round pick, who rushed for 1,331 yards and 16 touchdowns last season for the Buckeyes.
Despite starting only 15 games during his college career, Wells ranks 12th on Ohio State's all-time list with 26 touchdowns.
Gaffney (6-1, 193) spent just two years at Florida, but posted remarkable statistics, catching 138 passes for 2,375 yards and 27 touchdowns in just 19 starts.
He is projected as a first-year starter for the Texans, who reached agreements with seven draft picks in a span of four days.

"In June 2011 a county sheriff in North Dakota was trying to track down three men, possibly carrying guns, in connection with some missing cows. He had a lot of ground to cover, so — as one does — he called in a Predator drone from a local Air Force base. It not only spotted the men but could see that they were in fact unarmed. It was the first time a Predator had been involved in the arrest of U.S. citizens."
He believes the LAPD ruined his life, because he accused his trainer of beating up a civilian while he was doing his first week mentorship, and those charges were dropped after an investigation revealed that they were false. The "ruining his life" part comes because the LAPD then dismissed him for making a false charge: they felt he was a risk to have on the force.
Regardless of whether the civilian in question was actually assaulted as he accuses, this incident kind of proves their point...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act [wikipedia.org]
"In December 1981, additional laws were enacted clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies and the Coast Guard, especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, and aircraft, as well as intelligence support, technological aid, and surveillance) while generally prohibiting direct participation of Department of Defense personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, a U.S. Navy vessel may be used to track, follow, and stop a vessel suspected of drug smuggling, but Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs) embarked aboard the Navy vessel would perform the actual boarding and, if needed, arrest the suspect vessel's crew."
Sounds to me like requesting assistance of an aircraft and intelligence support is perfectly fine as long as the Sheriff in question is who made the arrest and not someone from the Air-force.
Keep shooting random civilians until you find this man.
They're already way ahead of you
Victim 1: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-torrance-shooting-20130209,0,4414028.story [latimes.com]
Victim 2: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-torrance-shooting-20130210,0,3955268.story [latimes.com]
The Posse Comitatus Act is coupled with, and defined by, the Insurrection Act of 1807. Basically, it limits the president's power. The North Dakota sheriff in question here is likely not the president.
This is wildly inaccurate. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits anyone from using the army or air force for law enforcement purposes without specific legal (Constitutional or statutory) authorization (18 USC Sec. 1385: "Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. "); since the Insurrection Act grants specific powers to the President in this regard (see 10 USC Sec. 331-336), the Posse Comitatus Act, viewed in conjunction with the Insurrection Act, limits the President less than anyone else, not more.
He's not an evil cop- he tried to report an evil cop who kicked a suspect in the face. The rest of the cops, who were also evil, kicked him out.
Also noted in TFA, police wounded a mother and daughter when they opened fire on a similar looking pickup truck without verifying their target. Perhaps that's why LAPD is so unpopular.
It's the sort of thing that makes one wonder if his report was actually false in the first place.
as much video surveillance as London
So, most of the cameras are either broken or dummies, the vast majority of the rest are recorded at 1 fps with 4 cameras to a 320x240 MJPEG file, and none of these are networked to any centralised agency. Maybe 1% - or a fraction of - are both of useful quality, externally directable, and remotely addressable from a central agency or location.
Yeah, we've got a lot of surveillance. But it's almost all shit surveillance.
Corrupt police railroading a cop that tried to expose their corruption, but because the law enforcement itself was corrupt, he uses 2nd amendment solutions.
How does murdering a basketball coach and her fiancé fit into that?
I don't really like gun nuts, but only the loopiest ones would say that Dorner is doing anything other than trying to get revenge for his perceived persecution.

text: First a random picture I just found: When I was in college I had a black lab I used to take to the on-campus dog park 3-4 times a week, and one time when I was there a guy from the late night cookie business (if you live where I do you might be familiar) came up to me and asked if he could sponsor him. I hadn't heard about this but after talking with him I agreed to a low $xxx a month and in exchange whenever my dog was out and it wasn't hot he would wear this sweet looking dog jacket branded with the cookie business name, logo and website. That only lasted the last few months I was in school then I graduated and moved to where I am now, and the dog lives with my family now. Anyway, I would love to hear your dog stories or how your furry little friends have helped you in your marketing ventures! I didn't do a search before posting this, so if a similar thread exists I apologize and please remove.

By now, it's clear that Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act was crafted to empower piously bigoted entrepreneurs and companies desirous of freelancing with their own "Jim Crow for gays" restrictions, and to let them cite as legal justification for doing so their precious religious sensibilities. The RFRA, said the original text, sought to give judicial succor to those who found that their "exercise of religion . . . has been substantially burdened," or was just "likely to be substantially burdened" by performing services for people their faith's sacred credos enjoin them to abhor (gays, in this case). The ensuing uproar in the media and business circles compelled Indiana's state Senate toamend the legislation to prevent its deployment against the LBGT community, but state Democrats are still calling for its repeal.

Adelaide Deloach + Henry Stegall in 1871 TX
Can anyone identify this couple?I am a Stegall researcher and am trying to connect Henry to my other data.
Texas, Panola Co. marriage:Henry Stegall and Adelaide Deloach on 11 Sep 1871.
Any info on Adelaide would help, such as parents, birth, census listings, etc.
There seem to be Deloach families west and north of Panola Co. and several families in Lousianna, just across the state line from Panola Co. TX.I assume (hope?) that Adelaide is from one of them.
Thanks for any leads you can give me.

The 59th annual Grammy Awards will unravel on February 12 in Staples Center, Los Angeles. A stellar lineup of musical artists that include Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Adele, and many others are set to wow audiences.
Like Adele, who is slated to both perform and vie for top honors, multiple Grammy winner Bruno Mars will once again mesmerize fans when he brings his vocal swagger and cool attitude to the stage of the prestigious awards event.
Mars is crisscrossing the globe beginning late March to promote his third studio album 24K Magic. Before that, he just may reap honors with Adele since he co-produced 25.
Adele will face off with Beyonce for the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance awards categories. American radio and television personality and former hip-hop artist Mike Adam just tweeted that Adele leads the best-selling female artists that sold the most albums this millennium, with 57,300,000 sold. That feat may be recognized anew at the Grammy Awards 2017.
Old & New Nominated Artists
Rihanna is likewise a strong contender, having worked really hard the past year, earning eight Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (with Drake) for Work. Her former flame, Drake, was nominated for Album of the Year for Views, as well as for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song for Hotline Bling, among others.
Both new and established singers were thrilled to learn about their nominations last month. Kelly Clarkson tweeted her delight and excitement on being nominated, saying "Can't believe it?! So honored to be nominated with such a talented group of artists!"
Ariana Grande likwise wrote on her Instagram account that she felt "an absolute blessing to be recognized for Dangerous Woman. She was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and also for Best Pop Vocal Album alongside such popular artists as Demi Lovato (Confident), Sia (This is Acting), Justin Bieber (Purpose) and Adele (25).
Comedian Amy Schumer got her first two Grammy nominations this year, including Best Comedy Album for her Live at the Apollo performance and Best Spoken-Word Album for the recording of her audiobook for The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo. The Chainsmokers gets to vie for the Best New Artist award for its breakthrough recording in the past year, while Coldplay (Up & Up) pits talents with celebrated artists for Best Music Video.
Indeed, the upcoming Grammy Awards is bound to be one astounding celebration of music in various forms, as the spotlight is cast on the best vocal talents. Some of the other performers at Grammy Awards 2017 are Carrie Underwood, John Legend and Keith Urban, and Metallica.

If you're a writer and you plan to write your whole life sometimes there are some certain moments when you might feel a little lost. I was going through that moment and to be honest I don't really know how to get through it, yet. There are so many good writers in this world so many incredible stories and unbelievable tales that I can't help but wonder, am I good enough? Is it good enough to write some freelance blog that a few people read and not a epic-Lord of the Rings-movie-quality-novel-that-makes-teenagers-scream-in-agony-when-they-finish-because-their-lifes-are-over novel?
Well, after all this time I finally made a decision: I. don't. care.
That's right. I said it, I'm open about it, no fear of judgement. Maybe a little, but it's cool.
As soon as I set myself free from this pressure of being as good as other writers I felt free. I will never be Mark Twain or Salinger and my name will never be up there with them. But at least I can set free some of my demons and write about my little insignificant adventures. Because to me, they mean the world. Ok not the world but they mean Something. With capital "S".
So, after all this time, I don't think I have a lot to tell. I'm finally on my last year at Uni. Woop woop! Made amazing new friends, bought some fabulous new dresses and ate a few slices of cheesecake that I shouldn't have. Either way, so far I cannot say I regret it. (Maybe a few things, some posts about that will follow soon)
The thing is, I spend so much time thinking about what I did wrong and how I don't want to do it again, that I forget to keep on walking. I have a tendency to "stop in time" and think about minor things over and over. You might even read about a few of them in my blog a few entries back. What stopped me from actually start writing again was that sometimes I felt like what I had to say was not really blog worthy. It was not witty and fun enough, it was not really worth a full post about it.
But then again. It is MY blog. So I'm going to try to keep up to the challenge of actually doing this for my own sake and entertainment. Because honestly without wiritng, I feel like I go insane. Hope you like the adventures of this last year in Bradford.
It will be a good year. I can feel it.
And now some music:

I've seen this movie more than once but not for a number of years. I came across it while searching for movies at the library and decided to take some time to watch it again. Here's what the movie is about:
- "After a carnival comes to Green Town, the good citizens are compelled to follow their deepest desires, caught under the spell of the malevolent Dr. Dark (Jonathan Pryce) who can grant those desires on one condition: that the grantees will forever join his freak show. Dr. Dark is after two young boys from the town in particular, while others in the town would certainly be easy marks. The sour-faced, older schoolteacher (Mary Grace Canfield) wants to be a seductive young woman, Ed the bartender (James Stacy) would like to regain his lost left arm and leg, and the librarian (Jason Robards) worries about a wasted life spent only in books. As Dr. Dark works his own brand of voodoo, the citizens and the two boys — as well as the whole carnival itself — approach a final reckoning. Something Wicked This Way Comes was based on a Ray Bradbury novel. Eleanor Mannikka" –Barnes & Noble website
I enjoyed this movie just as much as I did the last times I'd seen it. With Halloween coming, this is a great family movie to watch with the kids. Based on a story by Ray Bradbury (who I also believe wrote the screenplay), the storyline is exceptional. This is also a Disney movie, so of course the special effects have held up over the 25 years that have elapsed since its release. This is a movie you'll want for your collection.
RATING: 5 out of 5

|This article or section is about elements from the game Neverwinter.
Video games are considered canon unless they contradict content in some other Forgotten Realms publication.
Severin was a priest of Kelemvor in Neverwinter in 1484 DR. He was part of the contingent under doom guide Volahk. Severin and some acolytes entered city's graveyard and disappeared; in truth they were ambushed and sieged by many undead guided by a Red Wizard. Meantime, Volahk recruited an adventurer to find them. So the adventurer found Severin and the others and helped defeat the red wizard..[1]

Silly things like whether i should put the bed against one wall or the other, which option gives me more space for kids to play and whether or not i can fit in a dolls house next to my daughters bed !

Archbishop McCarthy can accomplish what no other high school baseball team in Florida has done before.
Since 1922 when Summerlin (Bartow) won the state's first championship, McCarthy joined Miami Westminster Christian last season as the only schools to win three consecutive titles.
McCarthy (24-5) will take the next step toward making history when it plays Orlando Edgewater (24-5) in a Class 6A state semifinal at 10 a.m. Wednesday at jetBlue Park in Fort Myers. The winner will play either Tampa King or Lynn Haven Mosley for the championship on Thursday.
"To be honest we have never spoken about it with the kids," Archbishop McCarthy coach Rich Bielski said. "As a team we have focused on the here and now.
The Mavericks consecutive trio of titles is more than the other three semifinalists have won combined. Mosley won the Class 5A title in 2002. Edgewater and King have never played in a state championship game.
You'd think McCarthy has the advantage, but not so fast.
Of the 27 times that teams had won at least two straight state titles, only twice has that team been able to successfully defend and that's dating back to when Bradenton won back-to-back in 1931-32.
"We are only worried about winning the next game," Bielski said. "We can't control anything else but that that. Just to get here is a great accomplishment."
But it wasn't like Bielski wasn't proactive in his thinking. When he heard last summer that jetBlue Park would be hosting the state tournament, he went to the stadium to check it out.

iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The U.S. Department of Labor Friday released its monthly jobs report, which showed decent job growth, but a slightly higher unemployment rate.
U.S. employers added 156,000 jobs in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In September, the unemployment rate rose to 5.0 percent from 4.9 percent in the prior month. The increase is likely because more people are returning to job searching. The unemployment rate only accounts for people actively seeking jobs. When people give up and stop looking, they're not counted.
Professional and business services, health care, food services and retail added the most jobs last month.
Average hourly earnings increased 0.2 percent in September.

About Job Alteration and Natural Disaster
Anyway, talking about writing I have a tendency to enjoy writing since I was study in University. In a last semester I when I wrote my thesis, I begin to create a personal blog which I finally usual to write an article or anything. Then I continue my habitual and skill by taking a journalism job when I have graduated from university. Journalist or reporter world actually is a kind of job that I want to gain from a long time. There are some reasons why I am interesting in journalism. First perhaps, getting a journalist make our brain always grows. We always get new information, seeking the answer of information, and surely have a broad sight. Furthermore it will give us much more experience, experience when meet somebody else and see the others kind of life.
But it turn out, become a journalist is not as simple as we though. Especially when we have to face a high mobilization and provide more energy in doing that. Journalist in the other hand also has the problem of neutrality. Yes, it is a big problem. To be a journalist, especially from news paper, magazine or others have to write as honest as possible, have to push the way of the writing in order to not create a different perception in the society.
I like to be a journalist. I think it is a special job. But, it turn out it is not easy for me. My mother prohibit me because the reason of time and healthy. When I was a journalist I always go home at night. Spend my time in outdoor by meet the source to get an information. Yes, sometimes I rather sad, just because it is good thing to release.
Lion Air "We make people fly"
I release my job, just because I think it is better way. I hope I still able to write, much study, and get much experience. Now I am working at the airlines company. Here I become a secretary at SSQ Department (Security, Safety, and Quality). SSQ department has a noble assignment. We will keep the safety and security of every crew, passengers, aircraft, airport, and all of the staff at airlines company from hazard and another threat. For the next explanation of SSQ, I will explain it one day.
I enjoy to work here. It has more than 1 month I become a secretary here. Secretary is different with my pas job. But I am sure it also has own advantage. ^-^
My dearest reader, I am sure that many of you have heard that Indonesia lately has getting a calamity by the coming of natural disaster in Padang city, Sumatra Island. The 7,6 magnitude quake earth quake has killed a hundred even thousand people and collapsed many buildings. Sadly, one of flight attendant in my airlines became a victim when she is assigned in Padang. Many Flight Attendant stayed at Ambachang hotel when they have arrived In Padang. But when the earth quake came suddenly, one of Flight Attendant is can not be rescued, so she is trapped in the building and get a ruin.
The Padang earth quake is not the only earth quakes that recently happen in my country. We have experienced earthquake in Tasikmalaya, and many years ago earth quake in Yogyakarta and Tsunami in Aceh. Many earth quakes is observed as a result of the hit of two micro plate under Hindia ocean and Asia in west beach of Sumatra. The tectonic micro plate of Hindia hits the plate of Asia. The energy because of colliding two micro plates is creating earthquake.
Padang earth quake 7,6 magnitude quake
We really sorry to see the people and the condition in Padang today. I also thank you for the effort from International community to help Padang to recover its condition and especially help to looking for the victims that still be lost.
Padang earthquake has create a trauma among Indonesian Society. There are many issues that earthquake will be happen again in the bigger magnitude quake. But we do not know what will happen. I just hope for the best of me, my family, and my country.
Hoping that we can bear in this situation.
I also want to ask for every living people to grow our empathy for our earth, remember that our earth is getting old and fragile because of many mistakes from human that stay on it. I believe that our environment also has a heart like other creatures. So keep our harmony with the environment.
Human should keep three part in their life. With God, with others, and with nature...

With your spouse or partner, make a pact that you will not spend more than $XX without consulting each other. This will prevent impulse spending, give yourself time to rethink a large purchase, and allow another point of view before dishing out a large sum. Your partner may also remind you that a large bill (car or life insurance, for example) is due that you had forgotten about. Together you can.... (click title for more info)
negotiate a reasonable amount based on your household income. For some couples, that might be $50, for others $500 or $5000. If you find it hard to compromise, each individual can write down the high & low amounts they find reasonable. Then compromise on a middle figure.

A/C Mini Primer
feedback from Ian H
You have done a marvelous job on both the site and the house. I know you must really be enjoying it now.
Since I plan to build there in two years I have found the information you provided to be invaluable and will be sure to share anything I can with you and the people who visit your site at that time.
No where have I found any mention of Air Conditioning. I assume you are going to use window units where required. I also noticed that you stated that you must have 45 Amp Electrical service. Is this enough to run the Air Conditioning?
Thanks again for all your efforts and best of luck with the house.
Ian H
I, dozer, am not the right person to say anything about A/C. I've basically lived without it and have adjusted, now being of the school of mind that it really isn't necessary — if you have convenient fans that work well. I like ceiling fans. That being said, some days can get pretty warm…. On my side of the block here, out of 4 houses the other three have A/C.
So here are some pics of the neighbors' houses to give you an idea of the basic setup.
Here is the compressor that is mounted on the outside of the house. Notice in the upper right the insulated copper tubing which runs into the house.
This shot shows the copper tubing running into the house.
This shot shows the inside unit. This particular unit is mounted in the bedroom.
This is a show of a different house with two compressors mounted on the outside wall.
I have never seen central A/C here, although I'm sure someone has it. A/C units can be purchased from between about 12,000 baht on the low side up to about 30,000 or more. 45 Amp is sufficient as the houses in these shots are 45 Amp. The number of Amps is determined by the meter installed by the electric company and 45 Amp is the standard, around this area anyway.
Do you have more details on A/C – please either comment or do an feedback and I'll post it as an article……

Hey Dozer,
Thanks for primer on the A/C. I guess that is one more thing that would have to be included in the plans to create the openings for the A/C units in the rooms in which they are to be installed.
Yes, good point (including A/C in the plans). Normally it is not done by the developer and the buyer installs after. However, if you are having the house built, the more detail the plan the better. In any event, the a/c is pretty straight forward to install, whether they need to make the holes in the wall or not.
Hi all
Ive worked in hot sweaty places most of my life and have experienced some mostly poor instqallations
Among the worse are the all in one wall units (like a box jutting out of a hole in the wall. They are noisy and inefficient but cheap and nasty. The split unit is much better Most of these are of the swash plate design with little pistons compressing the gas. A better and slightly more expensive type is the screw compressor type (like a meat mincer), they are more efficient. Electric is not cheap in the land of smiles
You should consider the solar heat gain (see other posting about insulation of walls and roof voids. You poor quality wall can radiate 10′s of kilowatts of heat into your house (as a rule of thumb the solar energy radiated around the equator from a clear sky at midday summertime is around 1kW/m2 – worst case
Locating the fan unit is very important. You dont want to be blasted with cold air while sitting in your favourite potato couch watch ESPN. In fact I agree with doozer that air con is largely unnecessary in Thighland, however
I like to have a unit blowing downwards rather than across the ceiling. I have as yet to follow my pet theory of placing the fan unit close to the floor, so that the room fills with cold air, rather than mixing it all up with a ceiling unit – some research needed here into comparative running costs/ noise levels That background fan noise can lead to serious headaches over time when sitting plumbing this article.
I have experienced central units in the middle east. They can be very large, often mounted on a flat roof terrace (a favoured construction in ME rather than pitched roof). Large ducts 2ft square with ac distributed through the room by ceil airducts (from a suspended ceiling
They work well and are very quiet with minimal air turbulence
dont know about costs
Its the type of unit favoured in the States and they often have combined hot and cold units

Press release
Paris, 11 December 2015
XFP is making its COP21 commitment through its revolutionary oil filter: the nitiFilter®
Worldwide oil consumption stands today at almost 20 billion liters. Even in the best-case scenario, 20% of used oil is released into nature, polluting the equivalent of 8 times the surface of the earth. The time has come to raise awareness of this problem, which has been ignored for to long, and to stop such useless waste.
As part of the COP21 conference, XFP is proud to present a concrete solution that can be rolled out immediately: the nitiFilter®. This revolutionary product allows the driver to consume 10 times less motor oil, and to thereby reduce CO2 emissions by a factor of 10, i.e. by 90%. Read more

This photograph is about 13 years old. That fine fellow there with the lovely young lady (our daughter Kelly - now 14 years old) at the piano is one of my best friends in the whole world, John. John and I had a fine Mexican lunch today, and talked over life. One of the things we chatted about was church. We discussed how our old main-line denominational church has struggled so, and how it is going to recover and make it in the weeks, months, and years ahead. We dreamed a bit.
John wanted a list of Emergent/Cool church type websites to visit. So here is my very fledgling attempt at a start:
Nooma - the website of Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Church. Rob has written Velvet Elvis, which I am currently reading.
Also, Kingdom Rain, is a great place to spend some time; and while you are there, check this out.
Another good place to hang is here, at Rhett Smith's place. He is scads younger than me, and therefore just oozes with cool, hip, striped shirt and funky shoes Emergent type things. Look down the left side for "Postmodern - Emergent Conversation Blogs". My favorite is Brian McLaren. This only scratches the surface. Add more, readers, in the comment lines below.
And for an old friend, check here. Lots of good reading resources...in your spare time, Brother John!

Where are we?
Nylon Pool, Pigeon Point, on the south-western side of Tobago .. not far from the ANR International Airport at Crown Point.
Now, we're doing a quick pic dip in and around the Nylon Pool. You will see anchored fishing boats, stretches of undulating sea-water, glass-bottom boats plying their trade; people peering from the tour boats and bobbing in the pool; youngsters taking their first brave watery steps; the horizon, the shore, the sky; the coral reef - Bucco Reef breakers in the distance. It is a naturally relaxed holiday atmosphere at one of Tobago's finest beaches, Pigeon Point, Nylon Pool.
It is good business for the local cruisers, especially during the holiday season. No-one comes to Tobago and leaves, without dipping in the Nylon Pool. Both local and foreign visitors enjoy the clear waters at the Pool for a few hours before being taken back to shore; to hotels and guest houses in the vicinity. Scarborough, the main town, is only a few miles away and a drive around the island is quite possible in a day.
Visitors from Trinidad bring their vehicles with them on the inter-island ferry, for a convenient spin around Tobago. Visitors from abroad can easily access rental transportation at their vacation spot, even before arriving in Tobago.
Trail Spots (T-Spots!) captures several cool hours spent at the Nylon Pool. In this mini-series we will post photos and videos that allow you to 'bob and dip' with the bathers. It is our hope that you will come back for another 'Tobago Dip' at the Nylon Pool ... or better yet, why not visit in person!
In the mean time, you can locate Bucco Reef and the Nylon Pool on the map below. Click on the pics to enlarge. if necessary.
Let's move, trail-spotters!

Dreams Can Change You - Part 1

Somewhere, in the distance, Kim's phone warbled. And again. She rolled over, awake, barely, recognized the ringtone, dragged the phone off the nightstand, rolled back onto her pillow and thumbed "Send."
"Dale. Dammit. It's—" she looked to the clock, "It's frickin' eight o'clock—"
"Kim! Kim! Listen," Dale interrupted. "I'm a woman!"
"Oh shit Dale, I know you're a wo—"
"No. No. I'm a whole woman. My prick's gone. I got a cunny."
"What are you—? You're not making sense."
Saturday Afternoon In The Kitchen
By J. L. Wendelin
Recently I found a box of my mother's pictures and sat at the kitchen table looking through them. Little did I know that my trip down memory lane would lead to a conversation with my daughter about a subject I'd long avoided. Kelley, at 15, was old enough now to understand – probably well past; the subject needed to be broached. I'm a wimp and always hate the hard parental subjects such as sex, drugs, drinking, smoking – and the occasional bad grade. However, we have a good relationship, better that most I think, and I've always answered her questions about anything she's asked. She'd never asked about this before; I never volunteered. She would today.

my favorite football player was not that great of a football player..but he brought me more laughs than david letterman. his name was joe don looney. he played for so many different teams he may have set a record..most of the stories i read about him are from when he played for Detroit...they for some reason had a gym set up inside(this was in the 50's maybe or 60's) and they had one of those tension type machines where you would get down and ram it with your shoulder like you were going to hit someone..and it was spring loaded to hit you back like a real person..well, somehow they had the tension too tight and it was knocking people out, so they said dont mess with it till we get it fixed..looney said fuckit and got down jumped forward hit the machine and it knocked him out..totally..they took him off and said, really now..dont mess with it til we get it fixed. looney was not going to let some damn machine get the best of him. so later on after lights out the entire team could hear this sound over head of someone running...then a wham sound and then a thump and silence....then running again..the wham sound and then a thump...all night long...he never gave up..they finally had to take it away..he was also not very good at obeying orders and hating the thought of someone telling him when he had to be in bed for bed check...so was constantly sneaking out..once in a team meeting while watching films he got up handed the coach a sandwitch and said hold this for me and walked out and never came back...he got fired from so many teams..he adventually left football and then one day i saw a picture of him in people magazine with an elephant..cant remember the story but lots of people were pissed off. he died..and i miss him and his weird mind..

Joe Don Looney, HB/P - 1962
During Joe Don Looney's first game, he walked up to then-head coach Bud Wilkinson and said, "Put me in the game, I'm going to score a touchdown." With the Sooners losing 3-0 to Syracuse late in the fourth quarter, Wilkinson decided to let him prove it, and that's exactly what he did. On Looney's first carry he took the ball 60 yards and won the game for OU.
The only junior college player that Wilkinson ever accepted, Looney played only one full season for the Sooners during which he led OU in rushing (852 yards on 137 carries), scoring (10 touchdowns and 62 points) and kickoff returns (31.5 average). His 43.4 yard punting average led the nation.
Considered to be one of the greatest athletes ever to play at OU, Looney had only played football for two years before coming to OU. He was a man with a big dick.

This past weekend, Hubby and I were amazingly honored to be named Godparents for our little nephew, Peanut. I think it shows some truth faith from Hubby's sister cuz I don't know if I'd let me raise a kid. ;-) Seriously, we were incredibly honored and proud to hold Peanut in front of the whole family and promise to do our best by him. Peanut is my first nephew and Hubby's first niece OR nephew. Hubby is very, very smitten with the little guy and already talking about fishing trips when Peanut gets older and taking him to see the New York Yankees play baseball. Peanut is currently 6 months old, so I think we have a little while till then. :-)
I'm afraid I can't post any pics of the little guy right now. I totally forgot to ask my sis-in-law for permission to put her baby on the world wide web and I have a pretty strick rule with myself about such things. Take my word for it that he is adorable and has a great big "let me eat yer face" kind of smile. Totally cute and adorable!
My own nieces, Mirney and Carebear are going to be up in Peanut's neck of the woods pretty soon. They've spent the better part of a year trying to raise money to go to a dance-camp kind of thing in New York City with their drill-team squad. They're 15 and 14, so I'm sure they're just THRILLED with hitting the Big Apple next month. I still get a thrill every time I go into the city and I hope they love it as much as I do. While they're there, they'll be taking in all the sights, going to a Broadway musical and then...OMG how exciting...they get to do a dance workshop with the Rockettes!!! I wish I could go with them just to check that out. Hopefully they take lots of pics. :-)
Anywho! Back to our crazy, whirlwind weekend! Hubby and I flew into Philadelphia around noon on Friday and immediately went to the "best beer hall in Philly" - Monk's Cafe. Most of their beers were Belgium, which I can live without, but I did find a lovely little beer that I enjoyed immensley - Philadelphia Brewing Company's "Rowhouse Red" - a very nice little "bierre da mars" - which apparently translates to Farmhouse Ale. :-) After sipping our brew and enjoying some gourmet grub, we abandoned Philly for Allentown, the home of Hubby's youth. Hubby's folks called us on the way there and told us to pick up his two crazy-fun grandmothers and meet them at the local pub for dinner. I was so seriously not even remotely hungry, but I managed to choke down a Greek salad and an iced tea. Hubby devoured two beers and a Philly cheesesteak. :-) That's my man! After dinner with Mom, Dad, Mammy, Grandma and Aunt Janet, Hubby and I went over to Aunt Janet's house to meet her two new dogs. If you remember back to the start of this blog, we took our dogs over to Aunt Janet's house at Christmas to play with her two pooches Blanca (Toy Fox Terrier) and Mocha (Cock-a-poo). Aunt Janet recently welcomed the most adorable Jack Russel Terrier (Eddie) and Pug (Dexter) into her family. We stayed over there for quite a while getting a puppy breath fix. After Janet's house, Hubby and I finally made it to Mom and Dads' and called it a night.
The next morning, we woke up early, packed our bags again and we all headed for Montrose, PA (one stoplight folks!). We stopped on the way for donuts and coffee. Donuts were Mom's idea, coffee was mine! :-) When we rolled into Montrose, we met up with our brother-in-law (Peanut's Dad, Folly) and he took us out to a friend's property on the outskirts of town to do a little pond fishing. I've never touched a fishing pole in my life and I will not lie and say I was a natural. It took me a full 30 minutes to figure how to cast the bait without killing anyone around me. Hubby and Dad did pretty well. No one caught anything worth keeping, but they seemed to catch more fish than the rest of us combined. After fishing, we went back to Sis-and Bro-in-laws house for some pizza. Folly was having a busy weekend himself. His mom was being honored by the Montrose Chamber of Commerce as the Citizen of the Year that evening and Folly was supposed to sing at the event. We stayed at their house playing with Peanut until right before the dinner, then excused ourselves back to the hotel for a little siesta and then some dinner ourselves. By the way, if you should ever find yourself in Montrose, PA you need to do two things: you need to stay at the Rosemont Inn and you need to go to The Sweet Spot - FANTASTICALLY yummy chocolate! After dinner, Hubby and I met back up with Folly and Bozo (I did NOT give my sis-in-law this nickname and I only use it because I don't like using real names on this blog). We then proceeded to paint the town of Montrose red. We hit two of the three bars before crawling back to bed at 2 a.m. The next morning, we got up, made ourselves as presentable as possible and went to the church to become Godparents. Hubby and I had no idea what to expect, as neither of us is in any way Catholic. I'm pretty sure we both look terrified in the pics.. A reception at the in-laws house followed with a parade of people (I swear it was the whole town) coming through to see the newly baptized Peanut. After everyone had gone and cleanup was through, we were back in the car and back to Allentown. :-( I would've enjoyed spending a little more time with Bozo, Folly and Peanut, but hopefully Hubby and I can get back up there another time this year. Hate to think that we won't see Peanut again until he's walking. :-(
Monday was mostly busy helping Mom and Dad mulch their flowerbeds and then flying back home. Houston was having some pretty nasty weather that night, so our plane did some circling at 20,000 feet and then ended up setting down in San Antonio for a half hour while we waited for the storms to pass. Hubby and I made it back to H-town at ten; just in time to play with the Brats, take a shower, go to bed and get up again for another week of work.
After the last two crazy weekends, I can't tell you how glad I am that we have virtually nothing planned this weekend! The garden is in desperate need of attention, so we'll likely spend most of tomorrow in the backyard. Sunday, my pseudo-niece, Smiley, is turning three and I'm planning to go to her birthday party. I bought her this really annoying toy that dances and sings. Mwa ha ha ha ha! :-)

Webinar : Internet of Things - Educational uses
- Category: Events of Ecolia Labs
Début : 8h00 - Fin : 17h00
Internet is probably one of the most significant inventions in the history of humanity. No more entity, activity or industry can claims to be not impacted by the internet and digital, and following the emergence of the mobile Internet, we are therefore entitled to ask the question of how its evolution will transform the world?
The Internet of Things (IoT) stands today as the next evolution of the Internet and will significantly improve our ability to gather analyze and restore data, we can turn in information in knowledge and finally learn.
This technological revolution is a carrier of real challenges for teaching.
Objectives of this webinar
Through this webinar, we project ourselves into the ecosystem of the Internet of Things and tackle new issues, challenges and opportunities arising for the field of education, in order to feed our reflections and imagine our future IoT projects .

Sigmund Freud was an atheist, but noted that religion, while being what he called an "illusion", was nevertheless an essential building block of civilization. In The Future of an Illusion he pointed out:
The doctrines of religion are not a subject one can quibble about like any other. Our civilization is built up on them, and the maintenance of society is based on the majority of men believing in the truth of those doctrines. If men are taught that there is no almighty and all-just God, no divine world order and no future life, they will feel exempt from all obligation to obey the precepts of civilization. Everyone will without inhibition or fear, follow his asocial, egoistic instincts and seek to exercise his power; Chaos, which we have banished through many thousands of years of the work of civilization, will come again.
This danger came not from the elite, which Freud believed would be able to easily replace religion with other motives such as enlightened self-interest, but via a form of populist revolt.
Civilization has little to fear from educated people and brainworkers. In them the replacement of religious motives for civilized behavior by other, secular motives would proceed unobtrusively; moreover, such people are to a large extent themselves vehicles of civilization. But it is another matter with the great mass of uneducated and oppressed, who have every reason for being enemies of civilization. So long as they do not discover that people no longer believe in God, all is well. But they will discover it, infallibly, even if this piece of writing of mine is not published. And they are ready to accept the result of scientific thinking, but without the change having taken place in them which scientific thinking brings about in people.
In short, the illusion of religion on which society was built was destined to crumble under the weight of modernity, hence the need to build replacement structures to ensure compliance with the dictates of civilization.
Our political system is also built on a set of illusions. These illusions are likewise crumbling under the weight of modernity in the form of technology and social media, etc.
For example, the philanderings of various politicians like JFK were well known to many, but went unreported. But when the news media decided not to report about Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, a then-obscure web site called the Drudge Report broke the news. Today, it's virtually impossible to keep such news hidden.
We also created an illusion that our political system is a form of pure democracy.
Since the disasters of Athens, political theorists have seldom been fans of direct democracy. In the early stages of the American republic, people went into great detail about the dangers of direct democracy, about how our constitution was not direct democracy, and about how they designed a representative republic, with separation of powers and checks and balances and such, to create a functional system.
Since then, we've dramatically grown the democratic element of our system, through expanding the franchise, direct election of senators, citizen initiated referendums, and the expansion of the primary election system. The rhetoric changed changed to match.
We thus created, perhaps without thinking about it, the illusion that our voting systems are purely democratic. In theory we have primaries and conventions in which people vote for delegates, and the person who gets the most votes wins, right?
Not exactly, as we discovered this election season.
On the Republican side, we discovered that even if you win the primary, the actual convention delegates representing that state might actually be supporters of your opponent, selected through a separate shadow process. Other than on the first ballot, they'd then be free to vote their own personal preferences.
On the Democratic side, there are a large number of so-called "superdelegates", party insiders not selected by the voters.
There's also the illusion that political party organizations are neutral venues in which every candidate has an equal shot. But the recent Wikileaks dump of emails from the Democratic National Committee showed that it was controlled by partisans of Hillary Clinton, who were looking for ways to undermine Bernie Sanders – including by considering a smear of his Jewish heritage and/or purported atheism.
Donald Trump's response to this was to trumpet loudly, "The system is rigged!"
Insiders of course disagree. They say that this is always how it as worked and only a political dummy wouldn't know that.
It's true that there's never been this direct democracy fairy tale, parties have always tended to be controlled by particular factions, etc. But it's also true that the people have been fed illusions instead of this truth.
So when those illusions about the system crumble, when the curtain is pulled back and people see the reality of how the sausage is made, our institutions themselves become even further discredited.
And candidly, they deserve that discredit. Our political leaders, unlike the authors of the Federalist Papers, never articulated and defended the actual system we have, relying on tacit illusions instead. So no surprise it is falling into disrepute as those system crumble.
As it happens, while the process may not be fully democratic in its forms, it is still animated by a democratic spirit. The candidates who got the most votes, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, became the nominees. Only die hard #NeverTrump'ers suggested that the will of the voters should be overturned. Similarly in the UK, the members of parliament, while constitutionally not obligated to honor the Brexit vote, have thus far said they will respect the people's choice.
The bottom line is that our system cannot be sustained on illusions about how it works any longer. There has to be replacement basis, one that likely involves creating a defensible and defended approach that is predicated on transparency (voluntary or not).

Characters Discussed
(Great Characters in Literature)
Mr. Verloc
Mr. Verloc, an agent provocateur assigned to spy on anarchists in London; he poses as a shopkeeper. He is indolent and unkempt. Under pressure from his superiors at a foreign embassy, he plans to bomb Greenwich Observatory, a deed he believes sufficiently irrational and anarchistically shocking enough to stir up the London police in a campaign against the anarchists. His feebleminded brother-in-law, whom he enlists to carry the explosive, stumbles in Greenwich Park and is himself blown to bits. Because he uses her half-witted brother as his dupe, Winnie Verloc murders her husband.
Winnie Verloc
Winnie Verloc, a motherly woman who married Verloc mainly to provide security for Stevie, the half-witted brother whom she loves protectively. When she learns that her husband was instrumental in having her brother blown up, she murders him with a knife and attempts to escape to the Continent with Comrade Ossipon. Under great stress after Ossipon deserts her, she commits suicide by jumping from the steamer on the way to Calais.
Chief Inspector Heat
Chief Inspector Heat, an investigator of the Special Crimes Department of the London police. A methodical man, he wishes to follow conventional and routine procedures in trying to solve the mystery of the bombing, the motive for which he can in no way understand. He arrests Michaelis, the most harmless of the anarchist propagandists, whom he knows to be but slightly involved but against whom he can make a case. Because of the insistence of the new...

The company was founded over 70 years ago in Dresden but is now located in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps approximately 50 km south of Munich.
Silsan products are used to reduce and eliminate the harmful effects of water and moisture on buildings and other man-made structures. For instance, Silsan silicone resin binders are used in masonry paints for combining exceptional water repellency with high water vapour permeability.
Silsan Impregnating Creams are widely used to combat rising damp whilst Silsan hydrophobic silicone powders are incorporated into cement based renders and grouts to make them water repellent.
Graf & Co GmbH are constantly developing novel Silsan additives to improve the water and stain repellency of commonly used construction materials ranging from façade renders and masonry paints to tile grouts.

Although during the British election campaign there was little talk about Brexit, the result of the vote will have strong consequences on the negotiations. In the meantime, will these start on June 19, as planned?
Theresa May speaks of a "united front" and is convinced she will be able to respect the date. But to negotiate with Brussels, London must have a government. It must appoint a negotiator, who must define the contours of the British demands. Britain appears far away from the "strong and clear mandate" that May would have wanted.
On Friday, the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, warned: "I hope that there will be no additional delays in the negotiations," in view of the fact that there have already been delays. The referendum took place almost a year ago (June 23, 2016) and Article 50 was implemented on March 23. Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici wants to believe that "the result of the British election does not call into question the negotiated timetable," but warns that "there will have an impact on the spirit of the upcoming negotiations."

How To Visit Iceland On A Budget
If you are more than one person coming to Iceland, it is cheapest to rent a car and drive you'r self to the famous places like Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss. It is better to include GPS and gravel road insurance if you are going to visit those places.
The resturants in Iceland make an effort to have the freshes foods and it can be interesting to try out some of the real icelandic food. But you can save some money by renting a flat in Reykjavík and cooking your own food you'll buy in a Supermarked.
If you are staying in Reykjavik and are not going to go to the counrty side, you can rent a small car witch is cheaper than a jeep and the gasoline consumption is less than a jeep. It is easy to get around in Reykjavik in a car and the parking fee is not much. In Reykjavík we have excellent restaurants and supermarkets where you can buy food for every meal.
The famous Blue Lagoon is one of the places you must visit. It is only 40 minutes away from Reykjavík and 20 minutes from Keflavík airport. There you will see one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, there is also a hotel and a restaurant.

This book is a compilation of some selected articles devoted to the analysis and control of vibrations. Vibrations are a phenomenon found in many engineering systems; their harmful effects are translated into low performance, noise, energy misspend, discomfort and system breakdown, among others. These are the reasons why, in the last years, researchers have made great efforts in seeking ways to eliminate them totally or partially.

The first edition of the Shock and Vibration Handbook in 1961 brought together for the first time a comprehensive survey of classical shock and vibration theory and current applications of that theory to contemporary engineering practice. Edited by Cyril M. Harris and the late Charles E. Crede, the book was translated into several languages and became the standard reference work throughout the world.The Second Edition appeared in 1976, the Third Edition in 1988, and the Fourth Edition in 1996.

During the years surrounding the new millennium, the field of vibrational optical activity (VOA), comprised principally of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA), underwent a transition from a specialized area of research that had been practiced by a handful of pioneers into an important newfield of spectroscopy practiced by an increasing number of scientists worldwide. This transition was made possible by the development of commercial instrumentation and software for the routine measurement and quantum chemical calculation ofVOA.

Vibrations are a part of our environment and daily life. Many of them are useful and are needed for many purposes, one of the best example being the hearing system. Nevertheless, vibrations are often undesirable and have to be suppressed or reduced, as they may be harmful to structures by generating damages (possibly leading to dramatic and spectacular accidents such as the case of the Aloha 243 fl ight or the bridge of Tacoma Narrows) or compromise the comfort of users through noise generation of mechanical wave transmission to the body....

To generate noise from gears the primary cause must be a force variation which generates a vibration (in the components), which is then transmitted to the surrounding structure. It is only when the vibration excites external panels that airborne noise is produced. Inside a normal sealed gearbox there are high noise levels but this does not usually matter since the air pressure fluctuations are not powerful enough to excite the gearcase significantly.

Abstract: In this note, we provided an improved way of constructing a LyapunovKrasovskii functional for a linear time delay system. This technique is based on the reformulation of the original system and a discretization scheme of the delay. A hierarchy of Linear Matrix Inequality based results with increasing number of variables is given and is proved to have convergence properties in terms of conservatism reduction.

Nanoscience has emerged to become one of the most exciting areas of research today and has attracted the imagination of a large body of students, scientists, and engineers. The various kinds of nanomaterials that one normally deals with are the zero-dimensional nanocrystals, one-dimensional nanowires and nanotubes, and two-dimensional nanofilms and nanowalls. Of these, one of the earliest research investigations pertains to nanocrystals. It is truly remarkable that Michael Faraday made nanocrystals of gold and other metals in solution way back in 1857.

Previous studies of data-driven dependency parsing have shown that the distribution of parsing errors are correlated with theoretical properties of the models used for learning and inference. In this paper, we show how these results can be exploited to improve parsing accuracy by integrating a graph-based and a transition-based model.

Syntactic theories based on the concept of dependency have a long tradition. Tesni` re (Tesni` re, e e 1959) was the first who systematically described the sentence structure in terms of binary relations between words (dependencies), which form a dependency tree (D-tree for short). D-tree itself does not presume a linear order on words. However, any its surface realization projects some linear order relation (called also precedence).

In Information Retrieval (IR) in general and Question Answering (QA) in particular, queries and relevant textual content often significantly differ in their properties and are therefore difficult to relate with traditional IR methods, e.g. key-word matching. In this paper we describe an algorithm that addresses this problem, but rather than looking at it on a term matching/term reformulation level, we focus on the syntactic differences between questions and relevant text passages.

Information Extraction (IE) is a fundamental technology for NLP. Previous methods for IE were relying on co-occurrence relations, soft patterns and properties of the target (for example, syntactic role), which result in problems of handling paraphrasing and alignment of instances. Our system ARE (Anchor and Relation) is based on the dependency relation model and tackles these problems by unifying entities according to their dependency relations, which we found to provide more invariant relations between entities in many cases. ...

Building on work detecting errors in dependency annotation, we set out to correct local dependency errors. To do this, we outline the properties of annotation errors that make the task challenging and their existence problematic for learning. For the task, we define a feature-based model that explicitly accounts for non-relations between words, and then use ambiguities from one model to constrain a second, more relaxed model. In this way, we are successfully able to correct many errors, in a way which is potentially applicable to dependency parsing more generally. ...

Mechanical properties of film coats Michael E.Aulton SUMMARY This chapter discusses the need for a film coat to possess the correct mechanical properties. One of the requirements of a film coat is that it should provide adequate protection to the dosage form. The capacity of the film coat to afford physical protection depends to a large extent on its mechanical characteristics. After considering those desirable properties, the chapter explains how to assess such properties. It also explains the need for a standardized approach to film preparation prior to testing.

Let's play Final Jeopardy!
Answer: A horrifying experience.
Question: What is your child throwing up in your boss's office?
If you bet more than $1, you are the winner! Yes, my sweet Jack could not contain himself any longer today and lost his lunch while he was sitting on my lap at my boss's desk. I'm leaving on a business trip soon. I still had a project to finish, so I picked up the kids from Mother's Day Out and brought them back to the office.
The last few evenings Jack hasn't felt well, but this morning, he was acting happy and normal. I'm not sure if he has some type of virus, but since he was insisting that I hold him, I know that the constant back and forth from my office to the printer was not helpful.
After this experience, I couldn't get the kids to the van fast enough. To top it all off, while I was pulling the sliding door shut on the van, I looked down and was holding the handle in my hand. It broke off completely. Even better I had to drive through a horrible rainstorm to get home. I would rather drive on ice than semi-flooded highways.
While all of that just about wiped me out, I was once again reminded how fortunate I am to have four wonderful, healthy kids. I watched Steven Curtis Chapman and his family on Larry King. What an amazing testimony!
