Chris Michielssen says the CG of the Xarconian Cruiser, with a C6 motor installed in the stock 18 mm mount, is about 7½" from the rear edge of the tail cone. I put a D12 in my 24 mm mount and found I'd need about half an ounce of nose weight to bring the CG to that point. Which is what Michielssen found too.
I put some Gorilla Glue into the nose cone, dropped some lead BBs into water and then into more glue and added them to the nose cone, then squirted a little more glue on top. All of which would have been easier if the Gorilla Glue hadn't, like the thin CA, started thickening on me. Ah, GG. I get a bottle and use a small fraction of it, and the rest gets tossed out because it goes bad. This bottle I tried keeping upside down with the air squeezed out, but I'm not at all sure it helped.
I scraped down the mold seam on the nose cone, cut out the plastic inside the shock cord loop, and roughened the surface with some fine sandpaper.
Then I filled the joints and seams on the outboard pods with CWF and sanded them. I also noticed the fillets along the intake tubes were decidedly rough looking, so applied a second layer of No-Run No-Drip. When that dried there were still a couple of bubble voids; can you believe it? I can't. Not with NRND, that doesn't happen; I must have imagined them. I filled the imaginary pits with some Bondo spot filler, tied the elastic shock cord to the Kevlar leader, and took a picture.
I weighed it with the parachute, no motor: 138 grams (4.9 ounces). Hm. Michielssen's was 4.85 oz after painting. Estes claims 3.7 oz! That's without the 0.5 oz nose weight of course.
OK, we're done until painting weather, when the real fun starts. #notreally

Jon and Eight MINUS Kate and Her Horrible Haircut
If you live in America, and have access to cable/internet/or people, you are well aware that a normal, American family, known as The Gosselins, are now major celebrities. Why? Good question. At first, it was because Kate pumped out a set of twins and then sextuplets, births that shouldn't have happened but thanks to modern medicine and money, here the world is with more babies. After appearing on NBC, Discovery Health, and finally TLC, the TV world has been graced with their story.
Never once have I had any desire to watch any show about this family, not even after all the hubbub with their impending divorce. As embarrassed as I am to say this, I have caught an episode or two in the last few years. Please remember it was only a few episodes, so I am by no means an expert on this family. But, like everyone else, I have an opinion.
Kate, is it important that you nagged on your husband until you verbally castrated him? Not really. Does it matter that your kids will grow up and hate both of you, for putting them on national TV and then causing more rumors than Lady GaGa being a hermaphrodite? Absolutely. But none of this is nearly as important as this...
Kate, although you're a retched bitch and you're lucky that Jon stayed with you as long as he did, you just have a stupid haircut. This is the real issue here people! Did you have Edward Scissorhands chop up your hair in 84 different locations, spike it with an 8oz bottle of hair gel, then spray it with hairspray, and call it a day? Or did the interns at the Aveda Institute take you seriously when you said you like it longer in the front, and shorter in the back, or the likes of a backwards mullet?
Well, it's taken about a decade but you finally realized it is high time for a haircut. But, upon further inspection, I have to ask; is this really a new haircut, or is it simply a trick of the eye? Have you pulled a Chris Angel and forced us to get distracted by your crimped, overly long bangs, hanging over her eyes, meanwhile the same chopped butch haircut is still displayed on your head?
Nice try Kate, but I'm onto you. I can still see the short spikes in the back. You're not fooling anyone. And btw, your "The Gosselin" haircut will NEVER be as popular as "The Rachel", so don't even try it.

Nature Notes
A fairly common companion in the skies in these parts is the Turkey Vulture. Forgive me, but they aren't the prettiest in the Bird Kingdom. My opinion, of course. But gee, can they soar. During the heat spell, we didn't see any of them. That could be because they were hunkered down in cool spots. Or it could be that the Humans missed them because they were inside. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Turkey_Vulture/id

When our apple bags were full, we went over to the farm stand to buy peaches and ice cream and feed the ducks.
Later that afternoon, Grandpa put up a tent to play in and then we had dinner and cake to celebrate his birthday.
THEN, on Sunday we had Mike's company picnic. It's usually held at a place called Kimball Farms, which has ice cream and mini golf and bumper boats and pony rides, etc. The girls always love it, so it was worth scrambling to fit it all in.
|This was a simulator ride in the arcade. They chose to do the runaway mine car ride, so Kate felt it was both fun and scary as "old mines" are one of the things on her short list of scariest things ever.
|Gotta do the pony ride.
|Now they both want a pony for Christmas. "Just make the house bigger," Katie says.
I love school.
These are new friends to make.
I love my teacher.
I love my friends.
So I guess that's all good. Yeah. September is moving right along. Now I just need it to get chilly enough so that I can wear jeans all the time and stop shaving my legs. Then I'll be all set! Bring on the sweater weather!

Fashion collection
I am in graduating year of a three year fashion design and production course in Sydney. Steampunk fashion has been a passion of mine for some time and this, my final collection for college and my debut collection into industry, will be loosely inspired by elements of Steampunk.
I mean to bring this wonderful niche world into an everyday winter women's wear collection and the opinions of this community would mean a lot to me.
Below is a link to a very short 6 question survey and I ask if you wouldn't mind taking a few moments to express your views and complete it. Target market research will allow me to determine if this collection is commercially viable.
Thankyou for your time :)

Heaven's Prisoners
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Trouble literally drops from the sky for Robicheaux, hero of James Lee Burke's well-received thriller THE NEON RAIN. He had thought he could leave crime, killers, and maybe even the remembered violence of Vietnam behind him when he married Annie. Instead, his unofficial investigation of a downed plane and its passengers will cost him his wife, shot in their marriage bed. It will also bring him a child, pulled from the plane, and the bitter knowledge that he will never be able forever to say goodbye to a dirty past, to drink, or to the equivocal and compulsive drive of detective investigation itself.
HEAVEN'S PRISONERS is half of a very good novel. Up to its midpoint it manages its eclectic mix of Cajun atmosphere and Louisiana memories, nature-watch, set pieces of violence and wisecracking private-investigator maneuverings, and marital love scenes with flamboyant skill. After the murder of Robicheaux's wife, however, the novel develops problems not only of emotional tone (within pages he is making love with a stripper friend, maybe not in the same bed but certainly in the same style) but also of balance and interest--the ratio of detection to reflection goes awry, and the novel gets bogged down in those bayous until it starts to read more like a sleazy Baedecker than the vivid investigation of a corrupted society and a corrupted soul that it aspires to be.
Nevertheless, HEAVEN'S PRISONERS is detective fiction at its best when it embraces the conventions of its genre.

ROBERT LEON MERTENS PETITIONER,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: U. S. District Judge Honorable Edward J. Lodge
Before the Court in the above entitled matter are several pro se Motions filed by the Petitioner Robert Mertens including: Motions for Recusal/Disqualification and Motion to Extend Time. The Government has responded to the Motions. Having fully reviewed the record herein, the Court finds that the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the briefs and record. Accordingly, in the interest of avoiding further delay, and because the Court conclusively finds that the decisional process would not be significantly aided by oral argument, the Motions shall be decided on the record before this Court without oral argument.
I. Motion for Recusal
Mr. Mertens has filed multiple requests that Judge Lodge be disqualified or recuse himself from further participation in this case. In the first two Motions, made pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455, Mr. Mertens argues recusal is necessary because Judge Lodge denied Motions for Recusal made at or around the time of the underlying trial in this matter. (CV Dkt. Nos. 5, 10.)*fn1 In so ruling, Mr. Mertens argues, Judge Lodge is prejudged to the arguments and claims he now raises in his § 2255 Petition; namely claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and governmental misconduct. (CV Dkt. Nos. 5, 10.) The most recent Revised Motion to Disqualify asserts Mr. Mertens has new evidence showing Judge Lodge has a personal bias or prejudice against him exhibited during the pre-trial stage of the underlying criminal case. (CV Dkt. No. 14.) This Revised Motion is made pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 144 and contends Judge Lodge has "turned a willful blind eye to essential facts of the underlying criminal case." (CV Dkt. No. 14.) Mr. Mertens' has attached an Affidavit pointing to "new evidence" relating to a brown attach© case which he claims contains evidence of his brother's alleged murder and attendant conspiracy by law enforcement. (CV Dkt. No. 14.) This "new evidence," he argues, was revealed at a February 8, 2011 hearing concerning Mr. Mertens' complaint filed with the Idaho State Bar against one of the attorneys for the Government. (CV Dkt. No. 14.) Mr. Mertens attached CDs of the hearings wherein he asserts there is evidence of a conspiracy by law enforcement; a claim which he points out this Court has previously considered and rejected in Motions during the underlying criminal case. The Government has responded that the Motions are 1) untimely, 2) unsupported by the facts, and 3) fails to show any bias by the Court. (CV Dkt. No. 15.)
As pointed out by the Government, motions for recusal or disqualification of an allegedly biased judge must be made timely and show bias. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 144, 455; (CV Dkt. No. 15.) Here, Mr. Mertens has filed numerous Motions for recusal or disqualification. The latest such Motion is based upon purported new evidence that was discovered by Mr. Mertens on February 8, 2011. (CV Dkt. No. 14.) The Motion based upon this new evidence was not filed until May 31, 2011. (CV Dkt. No. 14.) As such, the Motion was filed after a significant delay. However, because Mr. Mertens is pro se and incarcerated and has filed similar motions throughout these proceedings, the Court will consider the substance of the Motions.
Under § 455(a), any United States judge is under an affirmative duty to recuse themselves, "in any proceeding in which his [or her] impartiality might reasonably be questioned." 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). A judge must also recuse themselves in cases where the judge "has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or personal knowledge concerning the proceeding." 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(1). Section 144, provides a procedure for a party to recuse a judge stating: "[i]f the judge before whom the matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice against him or in favor of any adverse party...[he] shall proceed no further...." 28 U.S.C. § 144.
A litigant seeking to disqualify a judge must establish that the judge's bias or prejudice reflects an obvious inability to fairly preside over a proceeding. See, e.g., Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 551-52 (1994). The standard for both statutes is whether a "reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would conclude that the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned." United States v. Holland, 519 F.3d 909, 913 (9th Cir. 2008). This "reasonable person" means a "well-informed, thoughtful observer, as opposed to a hypersensitive or unduly suspicious person." Clemens v. United States Dist. Ct. for the Central Dist. of Cal., 428 F.3d 1175, 1178 (9th Cir. 2005) (citation and quotations omitted).
The party asserting recusal must file a "sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice either against him or in favor of any adverse party...." 28 U.S.C. § 144. Such affidavit shall "state the facts and the reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists" and shall be made in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 144. The evidence must show "animus more active and deep rooted than an attitude of disapproval toward certain persons because of their known conduct" in order to warrant recusal. United States v. Wilkerson, 208 F.3d 794, 799 (9th Cir. 2000) (quoting United States v. Conforte, 624 F.2d 869, 882 (9th Cir. 1980)). To prove this generally requires that the alleged bias or prejudice arise from an extra-judicial source. Clemens, 428 F.3d at 1178 (citing Liteky, 510 U.S. at 554).
The Supreme Court has recognized that "judicial rulings alone almost never constitute a valid basis for a bias or partiality motion." Liteky, 510 U.S. at 555 (citing United States v. Grinnell Corp., 384 U.S. 563, 583 (1966)). Something other than "rulings, opinions formed or statements made by the judge during the course of trial" is required. Holland, 519 F.3d at 913 (citing Liteky, 510 U.S. at 554-56). The judge's conduct during the course of trial should not form the sole basis for recusal. Id. The Ninth Circuit, in Clemens, adopted a "non-exhaustive list of various matters not ordinarily sufficient to require a § 455(a) recusal." 428 F.3d at 1178-79. Those factors include:
(1) Rumor, speculation, beliefs, conclusions, innuendo, suspicion, opinion, and similar nonfactual matters; (2) the mere fact that a judge has previously expressed an opinion on a point of law or has expressed a dedication to upholding the law or a determination to impose severe punishment within the limits of the law upon those found guilty of a particular offense; (3) prior rulings in the proceeding, or another proceeding, solely because they were adverse; (4) mere familiarity with the defendant(s), or the type of charge, or kind of defense presented; (5) baseless personal attacks on or suits against the judge by a party; (6) reporters' personal opinions or characterizations appearing in the media, media notoriety, and reports in the media purporting to be factual, such as quotes attributed to the judge or others, but which are in fact false or materially inaccurate or misleading; and (7) threats or other attempts to intimidate the judge.
Id. It is under this framework that the Court has considered Mr. Mertens' Motions in this case and finds as follows.
In the underlying criminal matter, Mr. Mertens was charged with multiple counts of drug and firearm related charges including conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana, distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, use of telephone to facilitate the distribution of controlled substances, felon in possession of a firearm, brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime, money laundering, criminal drug forfeiture, criminal firearms forfeiture, and money laundering forfeiture. (CR Dkt. No. 108.) A jury convicted Mr. Mertens on all counts. (CR Dkt. Nos. 375, 383.) On December 13, 2004, this Court sentenced Mr. Mertens to a concurrent term of 444 months imprisonment, followed by five years supervised release, and a $3,500 special assessment. (CR Dkt. Nos. 405, 409.) The Court also ordered Mr. Mertens to comply with the terms and conditions of the Forfeiture Order and denied post-trial Motions for Recusal and Judicial Misconduct. (CR Dkt. Nos. 389, 394, 409.)
Mr. Mertens appealed his conviction, sentence, and order of forfeiture. (CR Dkt. Nos. 410, 411.) The Ninth Circuit affirmed his conviction but issued a limited remand of the sentencing consistent with the then recent decision in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). (CR Dkt. No. 459.) The Court denied Mr. Mertens Motion for Re-sentencing. (CR Dkt. No. 476.) Mr. Mertens appealed that ruling to the Ninth Circuit who affirmed ...

You know what sucks? There are people out there who feel good about themselves for recycling only a fraction of the items they bring into their homes, and stop there. Recycling was never meant to be used as an easy way to be environmentally-friendly. Technically speaking, it's the second worst thing to do with garbage besides dumping it on a landfill (with the exception of burning it, I guess). But I guess it's appealing to take the relatively easy step of separating paper, glass, (some) plastics, and (some) metals from the rest of the trash. For many people, once it's in a blue bin, it's out of mind, and it's "job well done".
But the well-done job has unsavoury side-effects. How much water is used to turn paper back into pulp? Or to clean a glass bottle well enough to be refilled? How much energy is used to melt down plastics and metals? How clean is the energy powering the plant? There are different reports out there, some claiming recycling is more energy-efficient than manufacturing products from raw materials, but there are so many factors that need to be taken into account (type of material, process used, fuel efficiency of vehicles used in weekly curbside pickups, etc.) that it's almost impossible to decide which option is better. The bottom line is that both are wasteful compared to reducing consumption and reusing items within the home.
I'm sure this is all old hat to everyone. What really prompted me to write about the downsides of recycling is the unsettling news that the city I live in sells a significant amount of its recycling to China, where the local cheap labour force sorts and recycles it into things like shoes, which are then shipped back across the ocean and sold to us (because last year's styles are so... last year). What a convenient little system that supports poverty halfway across the world - perhaps I need to start a second blog that comments on the intersection of environmental issues and social injustice? Back to my point: I realize building a brand new recycling plant here is no small matter and probably quite expensive, but I tend to be the kind of person who hopes that creating jobs and supporting the local economy is more important. There I go being idealistic again...
My hope is that we can educate each other on recycling and realize that it's not the solution. I hate hearing people say, "at least I can recycle it" when they buy a bottle of water, as though that makes everything better. Of course, at the end of the day, I'd rather see an empty soft drink can in a blue bin than a trash can! But that's mainly because we know conclusively that recycling aluminum is much less energy-intensive that refining it from scratch. Not so for many other products. I'm just hoping we continually remind ourselves that recycling is the last and least beneficial of the 3Rs. It's a good starting point, but that's all it is.
So, to recap: first, reduce consumption. Buy less, and when you do buy, choose products with less packaging and carry them home in reusable bags (preferably not the ones made in China). Second, reuse items, whether for the same function (travel mug) or a new one (repurposing clothing as rags for cleaning). You can also regift and even upcycle useless scraps of material into higher quality products. Then, once you run out of clever and creative ideas, by all means, recycle instead of trashing your stuff!

Built from 1912 to 1926, the rail system originally carried sugar from the estates to the factory in Basseterre. Today, visitors ride in double-decker cars—the lower is air-conditioned, the upper open-air—past black-sand beaches, old sugar plantations and fields of sugarcane and up a portion of Mount Liamuiga.

The bulls took a breather today amid the news of the disclosure of names of the alleged BLACK MONEY HOLDERS in the Honourable Supreme Court of India. Also, the uncertainity regarding the formation of the goverenment in Maharashtra, took its toll on the markets. However, as long as the level of 8000-7980 is held the bulls can still hope for a continuation of this rally. The focus is now expected to shift towards the small and mid cap counters as the broader market is likely to trade in a range till the F&O expiry on this Thursday. The traders are therefore, suggested to buy the scrips which has a story to tell and hold for few days to get some good returns, as NOVEMBER-EFFECT draws closer.

After recommendation, the scrip touched a high of Rs.12.20 intra-day. The stock seems to have given both price and volume break out today. The next target according to my analysis should be Rs.16.50-17. Meanwhile, there were media report, this month that Suzlon Energy is planning to set up 2,000MW wind energy projects in Madhya Pradesh. The company will also establish supporting manufacturing facilities in the state for this purpose. Very recently, Suzlon Energy Ltd also announced that it has bagged contracts for wind power projects having total capacity of 150 MW, estimated to be worth about Rs.1,200 crore. The orders have been received from various entities including Malpani Group, Rajasthan Gum Group, KRBL, Sterling Agro Group and an assortment of Small and Medium Enterprises.

The time has come when I get to pack my shit and move into an apartment to live all by myself. I've been waiting for this moment for years and it's finally happening. I made the decision to move out of a gigantic, beautiful loft in Greenpoint for various different reasons, most pressing excuse being I couldn't tolerate living with other people any longer. NO MORE. DONE. No personal grudges against my roommate or anything (ahem), I've just come to a point in my life where I'm working/dealing/collaborating/meeting with people 24/7 that when I am home I do not want to consider anyone else but me and my dog. I want to run around naked fist pumping to crystal castles, not washing anyone else's dirty dishes, and not compensating space in the fridge or closet for no one else's possessions but my own. Everything is where I left them last and ultimately, most importantly, I have COMPLETE control over my environment. That's what happens as you age, you become a neurotic control freak. Interesting.
So the last couple weeks I've been bustin' my balls looking for apartments in Greenpoint, LES and EV and have been pullin' my hair, stressin' my shit and freakin' out that I would never be able to afford a decent sized apt to live alone. I came close at many moments. There was the jr. 1br on 6th St btw 1st and 2nd ave for $1300 where the bath tub was in the living room next to the kitchen sink and the tiny toilet stall had a heat pipe that made the room a sauna. Good location though. There was the perfect 1br on Franklin and India that was on the ground floor with full access to the communal backyard. Tiny kitchen but spacious rooms. It was taken right under my nose, those bastards. After many nights tossin' n' turnin', shedding tears of frustration, helplessness, and fatigue, I FINALLY confirmed the cutest most PERFECTEST apartment ever. It's a small studio (I'm guessing 550 sq ft) at the corner of McGorlick Park (20 steps to dog run), behind Variety Cafe (walk into the building to the scent of coffee), across the street from supermarket and pet shop. Original details abound, with walls layered with paint, built in kitchen cabinets and closet, fold out ironing board, and the best, most fantastically charming part, a staircase leading out the window to my very own grassy private back yard. STOKED.
I've been OBSESSING about this apt the last couple days. The lack of sleep, the abundance of stress, and that special time of the month, not to mention not having cooked or baked in over a month, all combined to plague me with a cold. Nonetheless I've been studying websites and books on how to live in and create the most beautiful, functional, charming, quirky, colorful, welcoming small apartment ever. Here's where I'm looking:
– I drool over sneak peeks at design sponge for hours. HOURS. This is my favorite.
– Apartment Therapy features tiny apartment contests every year and there are LOADS of pictures there. This is my favorite.
– My co-worker brought this amazing book that I've been diligently studying. It's in Japanese and features tiny apartments in Paris. I can't find any links to it, but publisher is Shufunotomosha. You can get it at the Japanese book store on 42nd St. I'm being vague, but I haven't been there yet, just explore and find it.
– Here's a bunch of links about tiny spaces under 400 sq ft.
– Here are some tips on making your small apt bigger.
– Here's a 25 year old's tiny apartment that's been making its round on the interweb.
– And here's a blog called tiny ass apartment. Pretty self-explanatory.
I'll be spending the next couple weeks painting my walls (not all, just one or two in deep orange and marigold) as well as my cabinet and closet. I'll be buying more plants to hang and place on my fireplace sill as well as veggie seeds for the backyard. I'll be shopping for a coat rack, desk chair, step stool, kitchenware, curtains, frames, pillows, and functional, beautiful tchotchkes to aestheticize my place with. I never ever grew up in a decent looking home and it means so much to me, having the opportunity to make my home, MY HOME. Look out for finished product soon.

On September 7, the meeting of the contact group on the conflict settlement in Donbass was held in Minsk. The agenda included issues compliance with "silence mode", exchange of prisoners and coordination of an instrument of parties' disengaging.
The main topics of the subgroup on political issues' meeting have become a preliminary voting in Donbass, the discussion of the road map and the amnesty law.
The DPR plenipotentiary Denis Pushilin explained the contact group the essence of the primaries holding of which has caused a lot of questions from the Ukrainian side. According to him, preliminary popular vote is based on standards of international law and gives the right to every citizen to stand for election and to be elected.
"Ukrainian side's refusal to discuss the amnesty law and sluggish discussion of the road map and Regulation is quite worrying," a source at negotiations in Minsk said.
Despite the alarming figures of recorded bombardments, in general the "silence mode" is observed. Members of the contact group came to this conclusion today. Negotiators also noted recent disuse of the artillery, which in August took the lives of 10 civilians.
According to Denis Pushilin, positive dynamics must be secured by reducing to zero the number of shellings, increasing the efficiency of the OSCE SMM and the JCCC, implementation of the agreement on the withdrawal of the artillery and the search for consensus on the document on the parties' disengaging.
"Otherwise, we risk repeating the experience of the autumn of 2015 when, in the absence of political solution, the situation on the contact line flared up again," the source noted.
According to the source, the work of the economic subgroup today was actually blocked by the Ukrainian side. But, according to the source, "after a long discussion, the subgroup, nevertheless, started working and the negotiators managed to achieve some results."
During the meeting of the contact group, the representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics gave Martin Sajdik the documents on a petition to the UN Security Council. Denis Pushilin and Vladislav Deynego expressed the hope that these documents will be submitted to the UN Security Council by the Presiding Officer of the OSCE.

The Pastry adventures.
Once upon a time, someone made the 1st chicken pastry. It was yummy, but that isn't what this story is about. It's about the journey of a chicken, a sheaf of wheat & some ordinary yeast.
A guy once made some chicken pastries for himself one day, & he made them all into tiny bundles of joy, tiny & cute. He made one exceptionally cuter than the rest, which was later dubbed 'Cutie Pie'.
So cutie pie & all the other tiny pastries took their own sweet time in the making – yeast was needed to be mixed with luke warm water, dough was supposed to be kneaded, & the chicken was needed to be flavored.
When the Yeast 1st came into conciousness, he felt drowsy. He assumed that he had had another one of his routine hangovers, considering how much alcohol he had to work with, & the tiny pool of water he was swimming in made him idly confirm his hypothesis of passing out in the bathtub again. He didn't mind, he was pretty slobbish anyway, & floating seemed to make his headache go away.
Even when he was poured onto the dough for mixing, he didn't suspect much, just that he was heavily disorientated & wondered how much alcohol was involved the night before.
Mrs. Dough on the other hand, had been prepared for kneading all her life. She came from a small village far from the city & as a young wheat back in the day, she'd been told by all the elder wheat in the area about, 'the life beyond refinery' & by the time she was ripe, she was rushed to refinery, & emerged as tiny grains of her formal self. She felt excited to be part of the ritual, & patiently awaited the next steps of her future life.
When the Chicken initially realised what was happening to her, she felt depressed. The only thing she remembered last was crossing the road, & the next time she woke up, she was missing all the important parts of her body including her feathers. She felt so embarrassed, she was a very shy Chicken.
While she was left for defrosting, she contemplated life, & thought & thought about how her actions had affected her current position, & slowly accepted that she should've never crossed the road to get to the other side, because the other side was a chicken farm & that she should've known better. But what's done is done, & she decided to survive as long as she could & enjoy as much time she had left because life's too short to be depressed, literally.
Eventually the guy got around to cooking the Chicken, & kneading the dough which was eventually mixed in with the Yeast. The Chicken initially enjoyed being cooked, she felt like she was in a hot sauna, & didn't even mind when the guy cut her up into tiny pieces, it was just less of herself to worry about. Mrs. Dough really liked being kneaded, she felt herself relax, so much that she didn't even mind when Yeast was mixed in. Yeast on the other hand finally felt something was very, very wrong. The more time he spent mixed into Mrs. Dough, the more he thought, & finally he blew up which caused Mrs. Dough to rise who finally realised there was something else on board.
Mrs. Dough initially felt annoyed to have the yeast crash on her like an unwanted guest, but being humble she tried reasoning with him, tried comforting him until he finally cooled down a little as she explained what's happening. He felt pretty bad because he felt like he had so much more alcohol to make, & now it wouldn't be possible because that part of his journey was over. But Mrs. Dough told him that life was all about moving forward & enjoying the ride & added that atleast he wasn't alone.
Just as they were talking, the felt something hot & steamy cushion up into Mrs. Dough's soft folds. The Chicken was overjoyed to find Mrs. Dough & Yeast in this part of the journey, & hugged them both while the pastry was being folded.
Ironically, all 3 concious parts of the dough, yeast & chicken ended up in Cutie Pie, the cutest of the pastries. The 3 friends couldn't be happier. They'd be there to hold each other & enjoy themselves as their journey continued. The Chicken was really friendly so she started telling the others about her hot sauna treatment & told them how much she wished they could experience it since it was so relaxing. Just as she was saying so, they felt themselves feeling warmer & warmer by the second. Chicken said it was funny, because this is exactly how the sauna was, & they were happy cause' Mrs. Dough was really fascinated by the idea while Yeast said he wouldn't mind a hotter temperature because it would make him pretty active.
Eventually they fell asleep & the next time they woke up, they were out in the open again, & wrapped in a tiny paper towel. They thought it was sweet someone had decided to cover them up, especially Chicken who was still very shy.
All three agreed that they had a wonderful time getting to know each other. Mrs. Dough said she was glad she went through the ritual with two of the most amazing people she could ever find, & Yeast said it was nice to finally retire & be subjected to so much relaxation.
Eventually they said their goodbyes as they disappeared off into the guy's tummy, knowing each one of them had a friend to be with.
The End.

My 6 10.1 Polishes and a palette ring Kelly was so kind to make for me.
But hoping this one will make up for it...... I was finally able to make an order from 10.1 Polish.
These polishes are made by a good friend of mine, Kelly. I love her to bits, she is an amazing woman that I have gotten so much support from over the last few months. Thank you, Kelly for your friendship. I love ya, girl.
I ordered 3 of her Frosted Sheers polishes, her winter holiday collection. I picked Snow Caps, Full Moon and Reservation. These are sheer tints with holographic pigment added to them. You can see the holo affect well in Reservation and Full Moon, but Snow Caps is very faint and hard to see. But that is not Kelly's fault. She added as much pigment to Snow Caps as she did to the others. But white is known to "WASH OUT" the holo effect. And you can't keep adding SpectraFlair or other holo pigment to white, because it will turn it into grey. So it is VERY hard to make a good white holo polish. I have tried, because I have 2 grades of SpectraFlair (1 gr each). The best result I have with getting a white holo is, if I paint my nails with a normal white polish. And then apply a holo topcoat over.
Kelly told me to pick 3 extra polishes that she wanted to add to my order as a gift and to review, so I picked Cherry Blast, Kiwi Delight and Plum-tastic. These are also jelly tint polishes, so they aren't made to be opaque in 1-2 coats. They will just do a faint jelly color on your nail. But you can add as many coats you want, and the color will become more vibrant.
But most girls and guys I know who use tint polishes use it with their nail art. Stamping or free hand nail art. They apply the base color, then stamp or paint with white and then use the tints to color the white areas. And you get like a stained glass effect or jello color effect.
10.1 polishes applies like a dream, I love the brush perfect for my narrow nail beds. They dry pretty fast, and because they are 5 free they won't give you a headache. The bottle is a 15 ml bottle, I know she just changed the bottle to a bigger size. Also a few weeks ago she changed the label. So they look very clean and pro like to me. There are so many other colors I want to order and add to my collection. But because they're Indie brand you have to pay a bit extra than your drugstore polishes.
So are they worth the prize?? I would say so.they apply like a dream, fast drying time very pretty colors and they're made with love by Kelly.
I played around with the polishes after I was done recording the video. I will be doing a tutorial with these soon. But the pictures are below.
But I want to say a super big THANK YOU to Kelly for sending me the extra gift. And for being such an amazing friend for the last few months. Thanks for all the support and the many phone calls. I love you, girl.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors guild has announced the exciting news that Nickelodeon's brand-new holiday movie Albert won the "Best Sound & Music Editing: Television Animation" in the 64th MPSE Golden Reel Awards!
The MPSE Golden Reel Awards recognize outstanding achievement in sound editing in 23 categories encompassing feature films, television, animation, computer entertainment and student work. Nominees and winners represent the work of the world's most talented sound artists and their contributions to the past year's most outstanding entertainment. The 64th MPSE Golden Reel Awards ceremony was held on Sunday 19th February 2017 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
Nick's all-new holiday movie Albert tells the story of a tiny Douglas fir tree who has big dreams of becoming Empire City's most famous Christmas tree. When the search for this year's tree is announced, Albert believes he has found his calling and hits the road with his two best friends, Maisie, the persistently positive palm tree, and Gene the abrasive and blisteringly honest weed, to fulfill his destiny.
With a few prickly situations along the way, and Cactus Pete out to stop him, Albert learns the true meaning of Christmas. The hour-long CG-animated TV movie features a star-studded voice cast, including Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) in the title role; Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live) as Maisie, the persistently positive palm tree; Judah Friedlander (30 Rock) as Gene, the abrasive and blisteringly honest weed; Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street) as Cactus Pete; Cheri Oteri (Saturday Night Live) as a TV news correspondent; Brenna Yde (School of Rock) as Molly, Earth Mama's granddaughter; John DiMaggio (Adventure Time) as Donny, Molly's father; and Mary Pat Gleason (Mom) as Earth Mama, the owner and caretaker of the nursery, and features two original songs, "The Best Thing That Can Happen to Christmas" and "Christmasiest Christmas," performed by the voice cast.
Albert is directed by Oscar®-nominated Max Lang (The Gruffalo), executive produced by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi (The Adventures of Pete & Pete), and written by Will and Aaron Eisenberg (The Massively Mixed-Up Middle School Mystery) and Joe Stillman (Shrek). The Eisenbergs are also co-executive producers, with Macgregor Middleton serving as producer. Viscardi serves as Nickelodeon's SVP, Content Development, Nickelodeon Franchise Properties.

Working on an album or multi-song Sonar project for a client and they want MP3's or a CD to listen to? Faced with opening a dozen different Sonar project files, going through the click, click, click to get an "Export Audio" going, then twiddling your thumbs while waiting for the Audio Export to complete only to have to repeating the process a dozen more times?
Sonar Auto Mixdown solves this problem. One click and all your songs get mixed down to MP3 or WAV. It's not really any faster than doing it by hand, but it's automatic so you can spend the time doing some else! It also allows you to consistently fill out the ID3 tag data in the MP3′ without having to re-type everything for each mix. Much, much cleaner and easier!
Sonar doesn't have a built in UI scripting utility. Yes, CAL is out there, support is minimal and it doesn't have access to much if any of the normal Sonar UI commands necessary to export a mix. So, Sonar Auto Mixdown uses the free opensource utility AutoHotKey to do most of the work.
Setup is a bit involved. Download AutoHotKey as well as the Sonar AutoMixdown zip (both listed below in the Download section.
When you unzip Sonar AutoMixDown.zip, the Data.ahk and the Mix.ahk need to be both copied into each of your Sonar project directories (ie the song directory, up with the .cwp file). The two BAT files need to go in the Client/Album directory (ie the directory above).
You'll need to edit each Data.ahk file, there's song specific information in there as well as information common to your system. The variables in Data.ahk that you need to modify are:
- Song – Assumption that the CWP filename and the directory the CWP resides in are the same and represent the name of the song.
- Artist – Name of the artist/client. only used to populate the ID3 tags
- Album – Name of the album. Only used to populate the ID3 tags
- Year – copyright year of the album, again for the ID3 tags
- Comment – ID3 copyright string
- CWP – Full path Where the CWP file for this song is located
- OutDir – Full path where you what the WAV or MP3 written
- Sonar – Which version of Sonar you are using. This must be the Window title when sonar is running!!
- SonarEXE – Full path to the Sonar executable to use to create the Audio Export
Next, edit the mix_mp3.bat and mix_wav.bat to your liking. You'll need one line like this for each song you want to mix down when the bat file is run:
"C:Program FilesAutoHotkeyAutoHotkey.exe" "mix.ahk" wav
Note that this must be run with the default directory set to the current song (ie you'll need to include CD command to position the default directory correctly before each mix.ahk run. The second parameter can be either wav for 16 bit wav file export, wav24 for 24 bit wav, or blank to get an MP3.
Now that you're set up, double click one of the bat files and watch AutoMixdown chug thru making your mp3's (or wav's) while you go get a beer!

Fascism in Italy, Britain, and Norway, 1919-1939
This book examines the struggle between the revolutionary and conservative strands found within fascism, analysing how each faction tried to influence its movement's programs, and studying the ways in which both strands fought their battles for ideological supremacy. Through the study of this revolutionary/conservative competition, the book discusses and ultimately challenges the dominant view that fascism ought to be understood as a fully revolutionary phenomenon. Instead, it argues that while it is possible and important to propose generic definitions of fascism, it is impossible to define it as either wholly revolutionary or wholly conservative, and that it was precisely the constant inner tension between radicalism/totalitarianism and conservatism/authoritarianism that constituted one of the essential and defining features of fascism.

When we suffer a loss, we grieve. That's how we work through it and get to the other side so we can keep going. Generally, this starts out with crying.
Most of us are uncomfortable with tears. Not our own, but other folk's. We can cry all we want, but if someone else is crying, we don't know what to do.
Enter Better Living Through Chemistry.
Why is it that our first reaction is to pass out an Ativan or Xanax when a resident is crying? Why can't we just let them cry? I'm not talking about crying that lasts for hours and hours. Then some chemical help is called for. But if a resident gets news that a relative has died, surely we can let them cry for a little bit. When I cry, I don't reach for a pill to help me stop. Most of the time I don't even reach for a beer. (I save that for when I'm angry. Just kidding. Sort of.)
We need to let them go through the whole grieving process, even the crying. Even if it makes us uncomfortable, a hand to hold will do as much or more than a pill and with less side effects. It's OK to cry. And it's OK to feel uncomfortable when someone else is crying. We don't need to interrupt the grieving process unless it's negatively affecting the residents health.

What's for Dinner?
Yesterday, we were barely done with breakfast and someone was asking me what was for lunch. Then I turned the question around on them and asked them what they wanted for lunch. The reply from the girls was pizza. Unfortunately, I had to tell them that we were all out of frozen pizza and I couldn't just run to the store and buy some. The weather here is still awful. The wind chill this morning was supposed to be -40 degrees and our high for today is supposed to be -1 degree (that is without the wind chill factored in). Do I need to say that the kids and I have not left the house in days? It is so cold here that it is too cold to even go outside to play in the snow.
Anyway back to meal time. So, lunch ended up being fruit and homemade mac'n cheese. But, I did tell them that we could have homemade pizza for dinner. Then throughout the afternoon they kept asking me when I would start the pizza dough and made the pizzas. You would think that my children never get fed and are starving. They watch the clock for it to be 3:00 p.m. because that is snack time each day. The girls know that there is no food consumed from the time lunch is over until 3:00 p.m. I had to make this rule quite a while ago because otherwise my children would snack all day and not eat a decent meal.
At 4:00 I started the pizza dough in the bread machine. At 5:00 I browned the hamburger for the pizza. At 5:30, Ashlin and I rolled out the pizza crust. Ashlin was my cooking helper.
Ashlin and the rolled out pizza crusts.

They say a picture can say 1000 words, but with black and white or color, the contrast between the two can completely change the message conveyed by each picture. Black and white photos generally take on a more dramatic/serious feel to the image where colored photos, depending on the contrast of the colors used, either bright or dull, can create moods across the spectrum. Each photo attached displays a message on both the black and white side as well as the color side. Each image can generate positive or negative opinions depending on the colors brought out or taken away.
Black & White vs Color: Food Photography
You can significantly see the difference between the two images. The variation of shadows and shading in the black and white photo to the vibrant "pop" of color in the second. A very solid example of contrast.
Black & White vs Color: Beach Photography
The vibrant colors of the girl's blue dress and flower in her hair drastically set the mood of the two photos. Black & White photography in 2016 can still resemble images from the 20th century.
Black & White vs Color: Food Photography
The black and white image versus the colored almost resembles a completely different type of cereal if the viewer did not have the colored image as a comparison. The blues in the colored photo "pop" and show the vibrant variation of colors within Fruity Pebbles cereal where in the black and white image, one could never tell.
Black & White vs Color: Nature Photography
I felt that difference between these two were astonishing. The vibrant green of the leaves and the subtle shades of light blue and lavender. In the black and white photo, the shadows and shading really focuses on the shape of the biggest leaf and the small flower's delicate shape. This photo is extraordinary and conveys a strong message about the wonders of nature.

Bolstered by big audiences for three of its new series and the highest ratings since 1979 for its Sunday telecast of the Emmy Awards, NBC emerged No. 1 in prime-time ratings last week, with the "NBC Nightly News" also in the winners' circle.
NBC's victory came in the final pre-season ratings battle before the start Monday of the traditional 30-week TV season. It averaged a 17.3 rating, with ABC coming in second with a 13.5 average and CBS third with a 13.1, A. C. Nielsen Co. estimates showed Tuesday.
Each ratings point represents 874,000 homes.
Bolstered by such hits as "The Cosby Show," NBC won last season's prime-time ratings race, wresting the first-place title from CBS, which had held it for six consecutive seasons. Most industry analysts expect NBC to win again this season.
The peacock network seemed ready to do that last week, when its reruns of the Cosby series and "Family Ties" were No. 1 and 2 in the prime-time Nielsens, and its three-hour Emmy telecast won third place with a 23.1 rating.

4th Jan
I felt really rough yesterday evening. Couldn't stop sneezing and my nose would not stop running. Bit better this morning, I think, although it's a bit early to tell. I've got to go to the dentist later, so hopefully I won't be sneezing and spluttering too much!
Mentally I think I'm getting this. I went to two big supermarkets and walked past lots of reduced Christmas goodies and creme eggs and although I thought, hm, in the past I would have bought some, if not a lot of those, I was able to say, "nope, I don't want them", and walk on. Same with the bread and cakes area, I just thought walk by and don't even look, and it worked!
Of course, I'm sure there will be more mind blips. But I'll just keep going. I soaked chickpeas yesterday, and I'm going to cook them in a bit. I have some tahini from my mum so I can try making hummus for myself (every time I spell that word, I'm sure I do it differently!)
I'm so tempted to weigh myself this morning, but I know that I shouldn't cos it's not good to get into a habit of doing it every day. I did, however, take lots of measurements of myself last night, so that'll be a good record to see how things change over time too.
Today we'll be heading over to see my parents at some point this morning (giving them a chance to assemble their new sofa before Sophia arrives on the scene). I'll be going to the dentist, and I've got a few other things to do in town, so that's some out and about-ing and a bit of exercise. I didn't really manage to get any yesterday.

I'm not sure weighing yourself everyday is actually that bad. It depends why you're doing it. If doing it makes you paranoid about each day, and more obsessive, it's a bad thing. But if you record it each day, not worrying too much about the individual numbers and then graph it to see the longterm trends, I think it can be helpful.
I'm weighing myself when I remember and recording it online at The Hacker's Diet which has some cool graphing tools. It tells me for instance that last year from July, my weight had a definite upward trend, even though there were individual weeks in which my weight went down. Not exactly what I wanted to see, but at least it's helpful. it shows me I basically keep to a diet for a week, think "This is easy", go easy for a week, go up, panic, get depressed and eat lots to cheer myself up. I'm trying to change that this year and make smaller changes I can keep to, like removing all the chocolate from the house and always having healthy things to eat for lunch (my main downfall).

A FAMILY-run store which sold booze to children has had its alcohol licence suspended for three months.
Trading standards officers sent two child test purchasers into KDs off-licence in North Road, Boldon Colliery, in April and July last year.
On both occasions, staff handed over booze to the youngsters. A two-litre bottle of cider was sold to a 16-year-old boy at the premises on April 5.
Then on July 19, four cans of Budweiser lager were sold to another 16-year-old.
CCTV cameras were not working at the store, staff had not received the necessary licensing training and a refusal register was not available for examination.
As a result of the test purchase breaches, trading standards' officers were granted a review of the venue's licence.
This week, South Tyneside Council's licensing sub-committee suspended the outlet's alcohol licence for three months and imposed a series of conditions, including installation of a camera on the till and shopfloor an improved staff training.
Sandeep Singh Dhadda, who was directly responsible for one of the illegal sales, has also been removed as designated premises supervisor.
Coun Arthur Meeks, chairman of the sub-committee, said: "As a committee, it is our duty to protect children. We don't want to see businesses close down, but we cannot tolerate such disregard of licensing laws."
Speaking at the committee, shop proprietor Paul Kang admitted the illegal sales "shouldn't have happened".
Mr Kang said at the time of the incidents, he'd been absent from the premises attempting to prevent another business on Wearside going into administration.
He said: "There is no excuse for what has happened and I am offering none.
"What happened shouldn't have happened."
Mr Kang, who has 21 days to appeal the decision, also revealed he was now seeking a buyer for the business.
The premises will continue to operate as a general dealers but will be unable to sell alcohol during the period of the ban.
All alcohol for sale must be removed from the premises within three weeks, if no appeal is forthcoming.

Specialized IT Services focused on Data Management | Speak with Us 877-634-9222
It's 2015 and you can now establish totally respectable MS SQL DBA credibility just by mentioning you have been in the game since SQL Server version 9. You may even get the same gasps of shock from some colleagues that used to be reserved for the version 6 veterans. It's true – SQL 2005 is 10 years old and if you've been working with SQL Server that long it's likely you're a seasoned pro. However unlike DBAs, a given SQL version does not get better with age (well not after SP4 anyway.)
Take SQL 2008 for instance, mainstream support for this version expired in 2014 and its technology has been superseded by the new features and valuable improvements of recent SQL versions. Sure, some SQL 2008 instances will be around – and DBAs will be supporting them for many more years. But over the next few years many other SQL 2008 (and earlier) instances and databases will be making the migration to SQL 2012 or SQL 2014. Here's part one of a post on bringing these older versions up to date as smoothly and succinctly as possible. Make sure to stay tuned for part two.
Upgrade Techniques
Of course we want the upgrade project to be as streamlined and efficient as possible. An in-place upgrade provides this, since it simply versions-up the binaries of the existing install. But a version upgrade can be an opportunity to make some potentially important changes. Should the instance also be migrating to newer OS versions or moving to improved hardware? Can several instances be consolidated? A side-by-side migration upgrade allows these kinds of tasks to be included in the upgrade project.
You Can't Get There From Here
To begin, let's identify what we cannot do. Some of these show stoppers may apply only to in-place upgrades but let's get them all out on the table:
The Magician's Table
In-place upgrades always make me think of the old Magician's Table trick that everyone tried when they were kids. For SQL upgrades it's like this: The older version, SQL 2008, is the table cloth. The SQL Install Executable sets the table with all the SQL 2014 china plates and crystal glasses. Then in one smooth and quick motion it pulls the table cloth out from under the dishes leaving a SQL 2014 instance where SQL 2008 used to be. It is like magic and it almost always works fine. But if things do go wrong, picking up the pieces can really ruin your chances for a lunch break (to say the least). Here are some pros and cons.
Stepping Stones To The Next Version
Side-by-side migrations are more like stepping stones that allow us to get from one version to the next. The original 2008 version is stone A, and well ahead of the actual migration date we can set stone B, the SQL 2014 instance, in place. What is great about side-by-side migration is that if necessary, we can easily step back to the original instance. What's more, we have the opportunity to pick and choose many aspects of the 'new' stone. Our migration can go down edition from enterprise to standard, cross platform from 32bit to 64bit, or to more optimal hardware, like faster CPUs. There is even an opportunity to choose a new hosting solution for the instance; a physical server, a virtual machine, or the cloud. This flexibility really stands out as an advantage over in-place upgrades. Here are the pros and cons:
The Ideal Solution
Back in 2005 there was no cloud to speak of and VMs were just getting started. In 10 years we have two totally new technologies where we can host a SQL Instance. Physical servers have come a long way too; core count and speed, available RAM, and SSD disks have all changed the way SQL Server works on physical boxes. Let's not leave out the OS. Perhaps the migration will be to a Windows 2012 Failover Cluster or to Windows 2012 Server Core. And don't forget the recent changes in SQL Server licensing.
For any version-up migration it's well worth the time to consider the all the available choices and pathways when making the move. If there are a minimum of complications then in-place is as easy as it gets. However, so much has changed between 2008 and 2014 versions, in most cases in-place migrations will not be practical and side-by-side will be the only viable option.
So tune in for my next post when we'll take a closer look at the details of side-by-side migrations. Meanwhile if you are planning a migration project take a look at SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Technical Guide and/or check into my backlog of helpful blog posts.

Articles is excellent and easy to understand.
Hi Andy,
Awesome article.
I am using sql server 2008 R2 and have replication setup there. Now planning to upgrade SQL Server 2014. Do I need to setup the replication again or any changes I need to do? Please help
Hi Ashutosh,
If you are doing a side by side upgrade, then yep, you'll need to recreate the replication. If you are upgrading in-place you can use these steps:
1. Stop/Disable Log Reader Agent
2. Monitor Distribution Agent to make sure ALL transactions are replicated
3. Stop/Disable Distribution Agent.
4. Upgrade SQL Server.
5. Enable/Start Log Reader
6. Enable/Start Distribution Agent
(thanks to my colleague Mike K. for this tip)
Good luck!
Hi Ashutosh,
We are going to upgrade SSIS 2008R2 to 2014 in my project. All packages in my project is Master child dependent relationship. Can you please provide some tips for upgrading SSIS Packages to 2014 easily. And also can you please provide what changes need to be done?
I have sql server 2012 with licence key , I can upgarde to sql server 2014 with same licence ?
We have an requirement to upgrade SQL database via SCCM. Can this be possible via SCCM? if so, please let me know the approach.
Hi Andy. I work in an organization, where we have a huge database in SQL Server 2008 and we have to upgrade it in 2016. We all are using Windows 10. Can you suggest me the steps in short?
We have a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP4) – 10.0.6000.29 (X64) & a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP3) – 10.50.6000.34 (X64). 2 Databases each of 30 GB size.
If we have to restore this data to the new Azure based IaaS SQL 2014 VM, how much complexity do you expect. Would it be smooth or do you see functional lapses and it may not work? Please advise,
The Db objects we use are:
Db Objects
Stored Procedures
User Defined Tables
