About half of the group going with me is going to go for the CPX camping - We will need space for at least 4 pretty good sized tents -
I will not be arriving until late Afternoon Friday and would like to try and camp relatively near some AOers I can finally put names to faces with until the alcohol kicks in.
Can someone flag off 4-6 good sized sites for my crew?
Can you park near your camp site or are all vehicles sent to the parking lot?
Thanks for any assistance
Assuming a Tent + personal space area to be roughly 10X10 I will try and keep a running tally based on replies to this post to how big a chunk of real-estate we need-
StygShore - 4 tents + 2 Table +2 Canopy
BTAutoMag - 2 tents
Skipdogg - 2 tents
Andrum85 - 1 Tent 1 Pop Up Canopy
BBotts77 - 2 Pop up Canopies for common area
Syko89 - 2 Tents
Nobody - 1 Canopy +1 Table
Andrum85 - 1 Tent +1 Table +1 Canopy
RT Lover - Relaxing in the Pool
Flatliner - 1 Canopy + 2 tables
Vintage - 1 Canopy + 1 table
Assuming camping space will also be staging space based on the newly published maps I know several people have contacted me and said they are no longer camping but wish to maintain their space for staging
If anyone lives close and has extra staging gear, I'm sure there are a lot of people travelling that don't have the luxury of hauling that stuff around with them.

Evan Silva's Final Mock DraftThe NFL draft isn't predictable and no one has any idea what's going to happen. Definitely not me. Not even NFL teams. This is my attempt to match as many players in round one with the teams that will take them, as well as correctly place individual first-round players into the first round. No, I don't think Dee Milliner will fall to No. 30. And I don't think Tyler Eifert will go 31st. I do think there's a chance Eifert lands in San Francisco, though, and I think Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff wants to trade up for Milliner. So that's why those players are in those spots.The Packers won't draft E.J. Manuel, but they may very well trade down with a team that wants him in the back half of round one. Or, at least, that's what I'm guessing.
* = Not likely to be picked in the projected spot.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The global investigation into the manipulation of interest rates has led to a third major bank facing significant fines and worldwide embarrassment. Britain's Royal Bank of Scotland ( RBS) was fined the British equivalent of $612 million for rigging the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly known as Libor. Investigators found that RBS traders in London, Singapore and Tokyo manipulated Libor from at least 2006 until 2010. RBS was bailed out during the financial crisis of 2008 and is now 81% owned by the British government. So the fines will be paid back by cutting the recent and future bonuses given to the bank's management and employees. In June, British bank Barclays ( BCS) was fined $450 million by U.S. and British regulators for its role in the scandal. In December, Swiss bank UBS ( UBS) agreed to pay $1.5 billion in fines for its part in manipulating Libor and other benchmark interest rates. Regulators continue to investigate whether banks rigged interest rates to gain more profits or perhaps reported lower interest rates on loans to appear more financially stable. A rigged Libor rate means millions of people around the world might have unknowingly paid more or less interest than they should have on their mortgages, student loans and credit cards. The name London Interbank Offered Rate is geographically misleading. It is simply the interest rate banks around the world charge to lend to each other. It is computed in London but used as a global benchmark for interest rates, and, according to some analysts, has affected more than $360 trillion in financial products. Libor reflects the borrowing costs of 18 banks, including firms in Europe and Japan as well as three American institutions: Bank of America ( BAC), Citigroup ( C) and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM). A daily survey in London calculates Libor by averaging the rates these banks think they would have to pay to borrow from other banks. The banks, not the market or the government, set the rate.

- Dec 9:
- 2 CU-Boulder students arrested for feeding pot brownies to classmates, professor
One of the two former University of Colorado students accused of sickening a professor and seven classmates with pot-infused brownies last December apologized for the prank Friday before pleading guilty to a single felony count and being sentenced to a 2-year deferred sentence.
Thomas Cunningham, 21, pleaded guilty to inducing consumption of a controlled substance by fraudulent means -- a Class 5 felony. In exchange for the plea, 17 other felonies in the case were dropped and Cunningham's guilty plea will be withdrawn and the charge dismissed if he completes the terms of his deferred sentence.
"This plea will be very favorable to you as long as you are able to comply and conduct yourself in a lawful fashion," Boulder District Chief Judge Roxanne Bailin said.
According to police and court records, Cunningham and Mary Essa, 19, brought marijuana-laced brownies to their history class as part of "bring food day," but did not tell anyone else in the class that the brownies were laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
Later that day, assistant professor Celine Dauverd and several students complained of symptoms including dizziness, anxiety and loss of consciousness. Dauverd and two students were hospitalized after ingesting the brownies.
CU police said both Cunningham and Essa subsequently admitted the brownies contained marijuana.
'Seriousness of this case'
Both originally were charged with eight counts of second-degree assault and eight counts of inducing the consumption of a controlled substance as well as one count each of conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to induce consumption of a controlled substance.
Prosecutor J.P. Martin indicated Essa is working on a similar deal to the one Cunningham took.
In addition to the deferred sentence, prosecutors determined the restitution amount to be $5,218, of which Cunningham will have to pay half. He also will be required to perform 120 hours of community service and write letters of apology to all the victims.
Each of the second-degree assault charges, Class 4 felonies, carried a possible prison sentence of 2 to 6 years, while the inducing consumption of a controlled substance charges and the conspiracy charges carried possible prison sentences of 1 to 3 years each.
"This plea was about balancing the seriousness of this case with the defendant's age and his lack of criminal history," Martin told the judge. "I think the deferred sentence is a reflection of balancing those two things."
'You made a giant mistake'
Phil Bienvenu, Cunningham's attorney, said his client never intended to hurt anyone, and that the case was a prank gone wrong.
"I'm completely satisfied at the time this happened Thomas had no idea that a bad reaction could result, though I know that seems naive," Bienvenu said. "There was no malice, though this was a prank there was no excuse for."
Martin said prosecutors believed neither student meant to hurt anyone, but noted some of the reactions that the students and Dauverd had to the brownies, adding that Dauverd almost drove home and picked up her kids before someone noticed she was impaired.
"That's a real risk that obviously never entered the defendant's mind. We know that or he never would have done it -- but that's no excuse," Martin said. "None of these folks knew what was happening."
Cunningham apologized for the incident, saying he thought the brownies would only give the victims a "euphoric feeling," similar to the one he has when he uses marijuana. Cunningham had a medical marijuana card to treat his back problems.
"I just apologize for the incident," Cunningham said. "I feel very sorry that people were injured as a result of this."
Bienvenu said his client has moved back to Texas with his parents and is working and hopes to eventually finish his degree at another school.
Bailin said she felt the sentence was appropriate and that she had confidence Cunningham would be able to complete the terms of the deferred sentence.
"I don't think you decided to becoming a criminal," she said. "I think you made a giant mistake that harmed other people."

FRA approves WSDOT environmental assessment for Point Defiance Bypass projectWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has signed off on the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) environmental assessment for the Point Defiance Bypass project.
WSDOT's project team will now advance design work to reroute passenger trains from the BNSF mainline near Point Defiance to an existing and less congested rail line that travels through south Tacoma, Lakewood and DuPont. The project will cost $89 million and WSDOT expects construction to begin in 2015 and the new route to be open for service in 2017.
"This is an important step in alleviating rail congestion and reducing travel time for passenger rail service between Seattle and Portland," said Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph Szabo. "Incremental successes, like this one, are critical to helping states and regions achieve their long-term vision for higher-performing passenger rail service."
The current route used by Amtrak Cascades is congested, carrying nearly 50 freight and passenger trains a day. The proposed inland route is shorter and will allow Amtrak Cascades to reduce travel times by avoiding rail congestion and delays. The bypass route also allows Amtrak Cascades to expand the service and add two more daily trains between Seattle and Portland.
The new bypass route is located along an existing 18-mile, lightly-used freight corridor owned by Sound Transit. Part of the bypass route is the same route that Sound Transit uses for Sounder commuter rail to Lakewood.
WSDOT evaluated two possible scenarios in the Environmental Assessment. The first scenario included rerouting passenger trains with improvements to the Point Defiance Bypass route. The second scenario was a no-build alternative and included only routine maintenance and repairs on the Point Defiance route owned by BNSF.

Now that University of Colorado officials have announced plans for $170 million in renovations and new construction to athletics facilities, the real work begins.
President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Phil DiStefano, athletic director Mike Bohn and the CU Foundation must find a way to make history here in Boulder.
The athletic department has received only eight donations of $1 million or more in its entire history. Yet, CU is requiring that no less than $50 million be raised in private donations before even the first phase of the project begins.
With that stipulation in place and with no consistent history of generating transformational donations, it could still be years before all four phases of the project even get started let alone completed.
"We've got a great deal of optimism tied with our donor base, the work that we've already put in with our existing donors and potential new donors that we're working on," Bohn said. "We're confident that we're within a range that is viable and one that is doable, and we want to keep the momentum moving."
That optimism appears to be based mostly on the results of a feasibility study that CU paid a private company to conduct last year. A final report on the study hasn't been finished yet, but the company told CU officials it believes the athletic department can reasonably expect to raise $50 million in donations without specifying a timetable for doing so. The company based its opinion on interviews it conducted with 50 donors or potential donors.
DiStefano said the school isn't relying solely on the feasibility study to move forward.
"They think it's feasible that we can raise $50 million," DiStefano said. "I think now what we have to do is I have to work closely with the CU Foundation and do the due diligence — I haven't seen the report yet from them — and make sure that's accurate.
"I think they will say it's feasible but we have to do our due diligence and make sure that we can raise the $50 million."
The tricky element of raising the money for the facilities upgrades is doing so without taking away from donations the department already counts on each year to help fund scholarships for more than 300 student-athletes and other elements of supporting CU sports teams. CU raised $11.7 million in donations for athletics in the 2011-12 fiscal year, the most recent year for which figures were available.
CU administrators and fundraising personnel now plan to begin visiting donors to share their plans in detail and answer any questions donors might have in hopes of beginning to raise the money to start the project.
Bohn said CU has already received donations toward the $50 million but he would not say how much it has received. CU hopes to unveil all elements of its athletics fundraising campaign within the next 30 days. Bohn said the campaign will feature an approach that also involves the little guy.
Most fans and boosters can't afford to make the kind of game-changing donations CU needs right now, but they can all help accomplish the goal, Bohn said.
DiStefano and Bohn were unwilling to speculate on any time frame for beginning construction on the first phase, a new academic center for student-athletes beneath the club level on the east side of Folsom Field as well as taking precautions against shifting ground beneath the north side of the east stands. The cost of that first phase is estimated at $39 million.
"At least we have a plan now," DiStefano said. "You're not going to sell anybody without a plan. They're going to want to see what you're going to do. I think our donors are going to will take a look at the long-range plan that we have to do these different elements. This first one I think is very important and we said we were going to do an upgrade in facilities. I think we need to move forward on that."
The only firm deadline looming is the need to submit a program plan to the regents for the first phase by Dec. 1 of this year to satisfy a clause in football coach Mike MacIntyre's contract. If CU misses that deadline it would enable to MacIntyre to leave for another job without owing CU any money in a buyout.
DiStefano and Bohn revealed the first four phases of upgrades Wednesday in Colorado Springs at the Board of Regents meeting. Some fans might question why the academic center is the first priority and the expansion of the Dal Ward Center and enclosing the north end of the stadium is second. Fans have wanted to see the school build a permanent indoor facility for years.
CU won't get to that until the third phase of the plan and it is expected to be the most costly.
Bohn and DiStefano said there are several reasons for building the academic center first. Much of the infrastructure for it is already in place on the east side of the stadium and increasing academic assistance for student-athletes is a priority in an era of tightening Academic Progress Rate standards and increasing NCAA eligibility requirements.
"The academic one is consistent with our commitment to continuing to show results there," Bohn said "It's pivotal to be able to have that as a key aspect in our recruiting efforts and our ability to continue to recruit the top student athletes in the country. The entire package is important, but academic facility is one that already has a shell and that we can move the fastest on."
CU will have to relocate family housing units to make room for the indoor facility and a new soccer-lacrosse field. That will take time and plenty of collaboration with the rest of campus.
When CU first moved to the Pac-12 Conference three years ago and its new conference partners agreed to share conference revenue equally, DiStefano said it would be up to CU fans and donors to make the difference for the athletic department in the future by buying tickets and making donations. DiStefano said that continues to be the case now more than ever.
"In my state of the campus address, I talked about increasing fundraising for the Boulder campus from $50 million to $100 million," he said. "Athletics will play a major role in doing that along with the schools and colleges. So that is one of my goals is to increase private fundraising and spending my time along with Mike and coach (MacIntyre) and certainly president Benson out there trying to raise that money. I mean, other universities have done it."

I know Im not alone in this.
Tell me Im not alone in this.
I am currently obsessed with (and have been for some time) Kelley Armstrongs Darkest Powers trilogy as well as the recently finished companion series, Darkness Rising.
Personally, I think this series would make an amazing TV show. Think about it. The series is about a group consisting of a necromancer, a werewolf, a witch and a wizard who are on the run from a group of mad scientists intent on killing them. Heres the summary taken from the library website: After fifteen-year-old Chloe starts seeing ghosts and is sent to Lyle House, a mysterious group home for mentally disturbed teenagers, she soon discovers that neither Lyle House nor its inhabitants are exactly what they seem, and that she and her new friends are in danger.
And to show the inordinate amount of time that I have spent thinking about the Darkest Powers, here is my dream cast list (click each name to view the actor's IMDB profile):
Agree or disagree? What is your dream cast for your favorite series? And in case you couldnt tell I highly recommend Darkest Powers. I did mention the necromancer and the mad scientists didnt I?

Plants and animals alike depend on Nitrogen to promote growth. Plants use Nitrogen in chlorophyll molecules, which are a primary component in photosynthesis. All amino acids contain Nitrogen, and animals need amino acids to synthesize proteins and convert energy for growth and function.
Our atmosphere is approximately 78% Nitrogen, which sounds like there is an abundance of N available for plant and animal productivity, but atmospheric Nitrogen (N2) is unusable by plants and animals, because the N atoms are bound together in a triple bond. For uptake by plants and animals, N2 has to go through a series of conversions.

EAU CLAIRE — A deadly all-terrain vehicle accident was just a matter of time, neighbors on Route 38 have feared for a year, maybe longer.
At 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, a young man suffered mortal injuries when an ATV driven by a 14-year-old boy collided with a tractor-trailer at South Washington Street, also known as Route 38, and Garner Road, authorities said.
Shane Scott, 20, was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:42 p.m., according to the Butler County Coroner's office.
An autopsy was performed, but no cause of death has been announced, according to the coroner's office.
A police report did not indicate if the boy, who along with Scott was thrown from the ATV, needed hospital treatment. Neither rider was wearing a helmet, witnesses said.
"I'm not surprised at all what happened," said a woman who lives on Route 38 close to the crash. She did not want to give her name.
She and other neighbors, like Mike Eiler, have called state police many times during the past year, complaining of the number of four-wheelers going up and down their street.
"It's all the time," Eiler said. "Everyday we're gasping that somebody doesn't get hit."
According to the police report, the 14-year-old was driving the ATV west on Garner Road when he lost control and went onto South Washington, colliding with a northbound tractor-trailer.
Jesse Sayers, no age given, of New Bethlehem, Clarion County, who was driving the rig, was not hurt.
Eau Claire volunteer firefighters rushed to the scene and emergency medical technicians performed CPR on Scott before an ambulance took him to the hospital.
It was not known if the teen faces any charges. Trooper Ron Kesten, spokesman at the Butler barracks, did not return a telephone call this morning.
Neighbors said Scott lived just 300 yards near the wreck. The boy also lives in the borough, about a quarter mile away.

First The Z frame went to Luke for milling and grips. Then off to California for John to work his magic.We decided to go with a UTB and electronic noid to avoid the LPR. All of this was being done while XMT completed the Shockwave bodies. Shockwave done and shipped to Loguzzzz. Next came Bazooka Boy providing anno, in Oregon. Somewhere along the line I started talking to Maghog and he blessed my gun with one of his amazing triggers, shipped from Germany. Back from Bazooka for final assembly and testing at Loguzzzzz.

Falcons Ray Edwards Breaks Up With Stripper Lastarya Over Texts to Giants Victor Cruz?
Dating a stripper, doctor, Swedish Nanny and etc all come with risks.
With that being said you sort of had the feeling that Edwards and Lastarya wouldn't last because it is one thing dating a stripper who owns up to his stripper lifestyle it is a totally another thing to date a stripper who starts quoting bible scriptures the day after you get together.
You know it is over when they go to Facebook with it.
The amount of simping is also alarming.
That fast food gossip site says the straw that broke the Defensive End's back was sexy text messages Lastarya sent to Giants Victor Cruz.
That would make the playoff game more interesting, don't know how true it is.
Considering the source that probably was just adding in to add a little sizzle to the story, but as the saying go you can't turn a Ho into a Housewife, so can't totally dismiss it.
If Edwards tackles Cruz while he is doing his salsa dance then we will know.

Could have been sentenced to life in prison for crime he pleaded guilty to in October.
An Edina teen who pleaded guilty to shooting a young woman last November was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Judge Russell Steele at the Adair County Courthouse Tuesday.
Tyler Treece, 18, pleaded guilty in October to a class A felony of assault and unlawful use of a weapon. He had originally faced five felonies.
Treece could have been sentenced from 10 years to life on each felony, or given probation. Adair County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Wilson had sought 15-year sentences, to be served concurrently.
Steele handed down a pair of 10-year sentences, to be served concurrently. By statute, Treece must serve 85 percent of that term before being eligible for parole.
On Nov. 25, 2011, Treece was waiting for a 14-year-old female to arrive at an address on Roseline Drive. When the teen and a male arrived at the residence, Treece approached their vehicle and a verbal confrontation ensued.
Treece then pulled a .44-caliber revolver from his pants and fired at the female. The bullet entered her left shoulder and traveled through her chest cavity before exiting above her sternum.
The victim survived the attack.

National Solar Power announced on Monday, Sept. 26, the company will build the Southeast's largest solar farm in Gadsden County. The project is expected to generate hundreds of new jobs and create a $1.5 billion economic investment in the region.
"Gadsden County was chosen for this significant project for many reasons, including its great year-round climate, strong community leadership, incredibly inviting regional support and the strong potential for future economic growth," said James Scrivener, CEO of National Solar Power.
In the end, Gadsden County won the nod for the large 400 MW farm because of the overall positives it demonstrated. Scrivener praised Chamber of Commerce Executive Director David Gardner for his "tireless, dedicated work" in promoting the county and Dr. Jim Murdaugh, president of Tallahassee Community College, for leadership that tipped the decision to Gadsden. TCC will create a solar energy educational and training center on the Gadsden campus that will feature a 2 MW utility scale solar farm.
During the announcement on the Capitol steps Gadsden's Chamber of Commerce Executive Director David Gardner, who was visibly relieved to have landed the National Solar project, gave special acknowledgement to Gadsden County Commission Chairwoman Sherrie Taylor for her outstanding work on behalf of the project. He also thanked all the County Commissioners for their support and he thanked his wife, Noreen, for her fortitude and understanding during the tension-filled wait.

Nebraska, which finished the regular season with a 22-5 record that included a 10-1 conference mark and a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, earned a top-16 seed in the tournament field. Mary Weatherholt leads a group of four talented and experienced seniors for the Huskers.

She will join fellow senior Patricia Veresova as the No. 3 seed in the 2013 NCAA Doubles Championship, May 22-27.

yea, IMO PB is safer then airsoft.
I believe they have a law on the amount of joules to mass ratio. An average paintball excedes that ratio and is illegal. Not sure though.

I miss IRC... I wasn't in it a whole lot but it always was good for a laugh.
Yeah, Freedy 500 is correct. In Hong Kong, they classify anything that is able to deliver a projectile with a force more than 2 Joules as a firearm. A 68 cal paintball would have to be flying somewhere like 160 FPS or below to be legal here. Some people can probably throw a paintball faster then that. Airsoft, on the other hand, is legal because the plastic BBs they shoot are so light.
This is a total bummer.
Would this also go for .50 cal? To lazy to do the math.Originally Posted by HKG

RANCHO SANTA FE, CA -- Sophomore Motin Yeung shot an even-par 72 Tuesday to finish third with a three-under 213 at The Farms Collegiate Invitational at the Farms Golf Club in Rancho Sante Fe, Calif. Duke closed the event in fifth place after recording a 309 in the final round.
Host San Diego posted a three-under 285 Tuesday to claim the tournament championship with a 54-hole score of 860 (-4). Kennesaw State finished 14 shots back with Loyola Marymount (883), Pacific (884) and Duke (887) rounding out the top five.
Grant Forrest (San Diego) and Jimmy Beck (Kennesaw State) shared the individual lead with six-under 210s before Forrest grabbed medalist honors with a birdie on the first playoff hole. Yeung was the only other player in the field to shoot under-par with a 213 (68-73-72). Nick Baines (San Diego), David Gazzolo (UC Riverside), Byron Meth (Pacific) and Ole Ramsnes (Denver) finished tied for fourth with one-over 217s.
Yeung got off to a strong start in the final round with birdies on No. 2 and No. 3. After suffering a pair of bogeys over the next five holes, the Beijing, China, native added birdies on the par 5 ninth hole and on No. 11 to get back to two-under. He dropped two strokes with a double-bogey on No. 13 but quickly recovered to birdie the par 3 13th hole. Yeung had bogeys on No. 15 and No. 17 before capping the tournament with a birdie on the par 5 18th hole.
Freshman Alexander Matlari finished tied for 24th with an eight-over 224 after shooting rounds of 69-74-81, while fellow freshman Max Greyserman tied for 39th with an 12-over 228. Greyserman was one-over heading into No. 15 before suffering a pair of double-bogeys and a bogey over the final four holes of play. He birdied the par 5 18th hole to complete the round.
Juniors Turner Southey-Gordon and Michael Ricaurte placed tied for 59th and 63rd, respectively. Southey-Gordon registered four birdies in the final round but also suffered four double-bogeys en route to a seven-over 79. Ricaurte had a pair of birdies and made the turn at three-over before shooting a six-over 42 on the back nine. He closed the round with a nine-over 81.
Senior Austin Cody shot a one-over 73 in the final round to tie for 36th while competing as an individual. The North Charleston, S.C., native got off to a slow start with bogeys on No. 1 and No. 2. He recovered to birdie No. 7 and No. 9 to make the turn at even-par. Cody bogeyed No. 10 but moved back to even-par with another birdie on the par 5 12th hole. He went on to card five pars and a bogey down the stretch for his second-best round of the year.
Andrew Bieber, a freshman from Ohio, finished 65th with a 241 (84-79-78). In the final round, Bieber opened with seven straight pars before closing the front nine birdie-par to make the turn at one-under. He added two more birdies on the back nine but was derailed by four double-bogeys over the first six holes en route to a six-over 78.
Duke returns to action March 10-11 at the General Jim Hackler Championship at TPC Myrtle Beach.

I would like to see the lions logo somewhere on the jersey, maybe put a smaller logo on the sleeves by the wrists, or maybe a medium sized one under the name/call sign on the back
Good suggestion. I forgot. Lol
I thought it wasn't finalised. And the logo is just a placeholder
With a "team" this big where everyone has a voice, you'll never reach a consensus anyhow. My art is available to anyone who would like to use it. Just let me know and I will get you the appropriate file type/size for your application.
Post the picture again on this thread
Nice patches! ^
I'm going to order two velcro ones, and depending on the size of the patches, velcro one to my Rotor hopper lid.
Those turned out nicely!
I think the font looks dated. Don't take this in a negative way, more constructive criticism. That looks exactly like what jerseys 10 years ago would look like.
Once a decent concept is agreed upon (hard enough to do) everyone interested in a jersey might want to chip in a few bucks to hire a designer that is experienced in doing jerseys.
Looks like I hit reply instead of reply with quote. Yes that is the font that I was referring to.
I also think the perspective honeycomb pattern doesn't fit well on a jersey like this. I know there was some work involved in doing that but a straight on view would fit much better. If RAZA is the go to company I'm sure they have templates available but you'd have to figure out which jersey would be best. I think they offer at least 3 levels and they most likely have different templates for each.
On the other hand, the jersey designs on animal is a great start. I'd like to see the automags.org logo on there somewhere though.

I put that together as a 5 min concept idea.
I'm not looking for it as a final just trying to get a fire under some butts
I got mine too, they came out very nice.
Can we splash color at that first one?
Watcha want specifically...some blue in the wings...urr what ?
Dunno. I like the skull. The entire design is simple and clean. I'd just like... some color accents
Badass keep it up!
I like it with the color. Perhaps a little more teal than blue though, most pictures I saw of the actual bird are a blueish/teal.
Kind of like this
Love the idea. I did a quick vector art version of it for scalability. If anyone wants to use it let me know and I'll send you an .svg or .ai file of it.
The .png I posted is fairly large to begin with and anti-aliased so it will scale okay. The Vector artwork:
SVG: http://www.needhambowl.com/SunshineGames/flatliner.svg
AI: http://www.needhambowl.com/SunshineGames/flatliner.ai
Will scale to any size we need with no loss of resolution. It will work for Jerseys, Gogs, patches, the side of the team plane , whatever.

NJ Transit to offer WiFi at stations, platforms and trainsWritten by Mischa Wanek-Libman, editor
The New Jersey Transit Board of Directors authorized the agency to enter into a public-private partnership with Cablevision Systems Corporation to offer one of the top requested amenities to NJ Transit customers: high-speed wireless internet access at stations and onboard trains.
The WiFi access will be provided to NJ Transit customers via a dedicated, trackside WiFi network, the first of its kind in the nation, the agency notes, and at no cost to the agency.
"Through customer forums and surveys conducted as part of NJ Transit's Scorecard initiative, we know that wireless internet service will be a welcome amenity for NJ Transit customers, enabling those who wish to remain connected during their commute to do so continuously," said Transportation Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chairman James Simpson.
WiFi on the NJ Transit system will be implemented in phases. The initial phase will focus on outfitting major stations like Newark Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal, which together serve more than 100,000 customers on a typical weekday on all transit modes, as well as Secaucus Junction, by the end of this year. Subsequent phases will include equipping additional train stations and ultimately rail cars by line. The project is expected to be substantially complete by year-end 2016.
In September 2010, NJ Transit issued a request for proposals from qualified firms for the provision of wireless internet access to customers, including the design and architecture of the system to be used.
The board has authorized NJ Transit to enter into a 20-year no-cost contract with Cablevision for the implementation and maintenance of a system-wide wireless internet service that allows Cablevision to offer wireless internet service at rail and intermodal stations, on station platforms and onboard trains by installing a high-speed communications infrastructure. The infrastructure includes fiber optic cabling, wireless access points, antennas and related equipment in stations, along the right-of-way and onboard vehicles, a capital investment that will be made by Cablevision.
A WiFi network at stations and onboard trains will offer high-speed access to most internet applications, including web browsing, e-mail access, browser-based applications, file uploads and downloads and multi-media applications.

Nebraska swimming and diving team member Taryn Collura will travel to Indianapolis, Ind., for the 2013 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships held March 21-23. She was the lone Husker to qualify for the meet and the first for the Huskers since Lauren Bailey, who competed in three events at the 2007 NCAA Championships.
Collura, a sophomore from Phoenix, Ariz., qualified after setting a new school record in the 50-yard freestyle at the Big Ten Championships. Her time of 22.42 seconds bested Therese Alshammar's previous record of 22.58 seconds set in 1999.
Although Collura's time of 49.45 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle missed the selection cut by just 45 hundredths of a second, it was good enough to earn her an alternate spot in the event at the NCAA Championships.
The NCAA Championships will have sessions beginning at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day, with live streaming available on ESPN3 for event finals on Friday and Saturday evening. Collura will compete in Thursday morning's session, looking to advance to the evening's finals.

Contains The Feature-Length Pilot That Started It All, Plus The First 2 One-Hour Episodes
In March 1967, NBC broke new ground in television programming by using a world premiere, feature-length movie as the preview of a potential new series called Ironside. The response was overwhelming. From 1967 to 1975, Raymond Burr (better known as TV's Perry Mason) celebrated his second major television hit. Set during the turbulent '60s, Ironside confronted the hottest issues of its time - civil rights, drugs, hippies, rock 'n' roll - and gave television its first disabled hero.
Left wheelchair-bound by a sniper's bullet, long-time San Francisco Chief of Detectives, Robert T. Ironside (Burr), becomes the head of his own special police unit. Operating from a specially equipped office at SFPD headquarters, Ironside fights crime using intelligence and action. His crack team includes Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway), ex-con-turned-assistant Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell) and beautiful policewoman Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson, who won an Emmy for this role).

As you have seen, I have does my research in the 1940, UNINDEXED, Census records. Put all of the data from those records into my genealogy database management program.
I then took a day-trip to where many of those households were, and took photo graphs of the current houses. Since I have the Census Records in my file, I linked the photographs from that trip, also to the people who lived in those houses.
Google Maps, was the next stop, where you can see "my view" of West Chester, based on those Census Records.
I don't know about you, but I have two aunts, from my parents generation and I have been wanting to do something for them.
Why not create a book, "Where were you in 1940?" My aunt isn't "online" so won't have access to the Google Maps 'toy', but her daughter and family and her grandchildren have access to it, but she doesn't. The purpose of this small booklet was to show her each of the 3 Census Years that she appears in, and some of those pictures that I had taken.
I am able to do all of this, and more, from within my program. The book ended up by being 22 pages, is "at the printers", and I'll take it to her in the next couple of days. I know that I am missing a couple of homes where she lived, so the book will be updated. AND, I have a couple of pictures, where I need her help identifying who is in them. So, the 2nd edition is already planned.
Included in the "book" is an introduction, trying to explain what is in the book, a brief summary of some of the information in my file, all generated from within the program, then a Time Line view of her life, at least the pieces that I can document. Putting her, into context for what is to follow, for anyone else you might receive or see the book.
The a list of 12 address, where she or some of her siblings lived, from information from the Census records. The intent is the link between herself and the US Census.
She was born before the 1920 Census, so I put an image of the 1920 Census. OK, you can't read it, so I also included a blow up of the family. That is followed by "no picture". (this is a "give me that address" set up). I think I know where the farm is, cut "Farm 45" isn't helpful. I will ask if she can tell me where it is located. She might be able to tell me.
The 1930 and 1940 are pieces of cake, same farm, and it is where I lived, and that I have been back to visit a couple of times. I put a series of pictures of the place as it exists today. I don't know if she has been back there in years, but I'll guess that some of her grandchildren have not been there.
I tried to take pictures of where her first husband's family lived. I had the data in my file from those Census Records, but the house number does not currently exist. Another lead in for questions. But, I did find where she lived when she was first married. I don't know which of three houses she lived in, but she and her new family lived in one house, and a cousin lived two doors away. I can ask, OK, which was yours and which was your cousin's.
There is another house, where the family when to picnic, at some early family gatherings. It's 'famous', in my mind, as it is written about a family, "The Utah Woolley Family" and a picture of that house is in the book. I am sure there is a story or two about that house. So, I put a current picture into this book.
I then put a photo of my parents first apartment. This is where I found my parents in the 1940 Census, since they were not In the houses where their parents lived. I don't know if she had ever been there, but if so, what it looks like now.
The next series of pictures are of where another brother lived, including his farm house. I know I hadn't seen that place in many years, perhaps that picture will bring back some memories.
A photography of another house where we, as a family, visited on a frequent bases. It was where her mother's sister lived, along with a number of cousins. All documented by the Census Records.
Just a couple of other pictures of houses, not yet in the Census, but should be in the 1950 Census, but houses that she knows. One was her mother's house, but is also where her step-son currently lives, along with a photograph of her mother and one of our "Texas" cousins. She will know what that is about.
I concluded with two wedding photographs. Both have her parents in them, on of which is of their Wedding. But, I don't know who some of the other people are. I want her to help be identify those 'other' people.
When I go to deliver the book, I'll have my Flip-Pal scanner, two Flip-Pal Sketch sheet's, Wet Erase Pen, copies of other pictures so that I can write on the Sketch Sheet as she identifies the people, and scan those pictures with the names on the Sketch Sheet, so that when I get back home, I can label those photographs with names.
So far, that's what I have done from my "manual" research of the 1940 Census.

By LOU ELLIOTT JONES
Four candidates — two for Levy County Court judge and two for Levy County Supervisor of Elections — made their introductions to about 35 Cedar Key residents at a political forum sponsored by the Cedar Key Lions Club last week at the Cedar Key Community Center.
Dale Register, president of the Lions, introduced the candidates — incumbent James T. "Tim" Browning and challenger Cyndee Munkittrick for Levy County Court judge, and Tammy Jones and Brooke Ward for supervisor of elections.
He said the Lions chose to feature candidates in the two races because the officeholders could be determined in the Aug. 14 primary. Qualifying is over for the nonpartisan judge's race and the two candidates for Supervisor of Elections are both Republicans, although qualifying is not over until noon on June 8.
While some political forums have a lot of give and take between candidates seeking the same office and the audience, this was a low key event.
One reason could be that candidates for judgeships are governed by a set of rules on how they can campaign.
Or it could have been provided by Register, who in his opening said, "This should give at least the voters in Cedar Key some information on the candidates" in the two elections that could be decided in the Aug. 14 party primaries.
Browning stressed his experience in sitting on the bench since being appointed in 2010 by then Gov. Charlie Crist.
"You are going to deal with large dockets" as the county judge, said Browning, who begins most mornings with bond hearings for people arrested the day before, followed by traffic, domestic or juvenile court. He said the job also includes listening to law enforcement and prosecutors' requests for warrants.
In the last three months he said there have been 912 cases on his docket (schedule of cases). He said 80 percent were criminal cases.
"You are going to be dealing with people's lives," Browning said. "You are going to be dealing with inexperienced attorneys and newer attorneys." He said a judge will hear cases "that will break your heart."
Browning said he began his career in 1989 as a young prosecutor in Levy and Gilchrist counties before moving to the State Attorney's office in Gainesville where he handled drug and violent crime cases. Recently, he was approved to be a mentor to new judges coming onto the bench.
"It is the broad foundation that has prepared me," Browning said. "I have the experience and commitment to Levy County."
Munkittrick outlined her experience in serving in the U.S. Army Reserve, the insurance industry and as an attorney.
She said anyone seeking the office, "should have experience in all areas of the law," and said she has the broad legal background to bring to the job. "If 80 percent of the cases are criminal, then that's 20 percent in other areas of the law," Munkittrick said. She also stressed her experience in working with juveniles through her legal work.
"It takes a certain temperament," to sit on the bench, she said. "Everybody deserves to have their day in court and everyone deserves respect."
"It's a tough job. It's a strenuous job," she said. "I have the honesty, integrity and temperament."
In response to an audience question, both candidates said they would like to see more innovative programs for juveniles in the court. And they also endorse the idea of having a drug court where offenders get rehabilitation to prevent a return to drug use.
In response to another question about favoring incarceration over rehabilitation for adults who commit crimes, both said they favored rehabilitation. But Browning pointed out that a judge has to follow the law on sentencing, and he and Munkittrick acknowledged that lack of funding is the issue in getting rehabilitation.
Tammy Jones opened the portion on the Supervisor of Elections race, followed by Brook Ward.
Jones stressed her 18 years experience working in the supervisor's office where she is assistant supervisor of election planning and overseeing elections, including absentee ballots. "I have been the main coordinator of the absentee ballots," she said. "It means a lot to me to make sure our military votes." One reason, she said, is she is a military wife and she appreciated receiving a ballot when she and her husband Jimmy were stationed in Maryland.
Jones said when she started in the office, everything was done by hand and the records were kept in filing cabinets. Now the records are kept electronically and the office is preparing for an update to its voting system from the optical scanner system now in use to new equipment. She said she favors getting the new system installed and tested with the 2014 elections, rather than waiting until the 201y6 presidential elections.
"I'm not a politician. I'm kind of a shy person," Jones said. "But I will make sure your rights are protected."
Jones said the office has not had problems with voting — even during the infamous 2000 presidential election. "Levy is growing and it takes tremendous experience to deal with that," she said.
Ward said she is local noting her family has operated Ward Farms for several generations. She has been active in agricultural groups including FFA, FFA Alumni and the Suwannee River Fair where she is an annual volunteer.
She also outlined her work experience saying she has been in management for a retail corporation, owned a successful business, and is an early childhood educator. She is an education specialist monitoring the level of care and daily operations at local child care facilities.
Ward said she will bring an understanding of finance to the elections office.
In response to a question on the optical scanning system used for election ballots in Levy, Jones said the system is getting outdated and needs replacement. But she said she was not a big fan of touch screen voting, except for voters with disabilities. Ward, while not familiar with the inner workings of the optical scanner, said she would look for what is best and said she would work within the American with Disabilities Act to provide voting for those with disabilities, like ballots with larger print.

Logan County investigators are looking into an incident in Fleming this afternoon, after an 8-year-old girl reported being pulled into bushes by an unidentified male.
Child Safety Tips
The Logan County Sheriff s Office urges parents to review the following tips in preventing child abductions and to teach their children about stranger safety:
• Children should never talk to strangers. Explain to them that a stranger is anyone they don t know. .
• If they are home alone, they shouldn't answer the door or tell anyone on the phone that they are alone.
• Always make sure you know where your child is and who they are with.
• Children should never go into a house with a friend that is unknown to the parent or accept rides from friends who are not known to the parent.
• Teach children not to be vulnerable to "lure tactics" such as someone approaching the child, acting very sad, and asking the child to please help find his missing pet. Help them to understand that adults should never be approaching and asking children for help.
• Children and parents should agree on a code word to be used by anyone other than the parent who would be sent to pick up a child in case of an emergency.
• We know that it is important that your children know their address and phone number, but be sure that they know never to give out the information to strangers.
• If the child is being followed by a vehicle, he should quickly turn around and run in the opposite direction to a place of safety. It will take someone in a vehicle some time to get turned around, hopefully allowing the child time to get to safety.
• Never leave your child alone in a public place, stroller or car.
• Always accompany younger children to a public restroom.
• Always accompany your child on door-to-door activities, i.e. Halloween, school fundraising campaigns, etc.
• Establish a routine for picking your children up from school or other events.
• Teach your child how to reach you (home, office, mobile).
• Teach your child how to call the police.
• Have a plan in case your child gets separated from you in public.
• Teach your child to stay in groups of friends when going anywhere.
• Tell your children about child abductions in simple and easy to understand terms. Awareness can help them protect themselves.
• Avoid clothing and toys with your child's name on it. A child may not fear someone who knows his/her name.
• Let your child know that you will pick them up at any time, any place.
• Urge your child to think escape / survival if he or she were ever abducted.
• Speak to your local law enforcement agency to find out about neighborhood watch.
• Check with your local law enforcement or visit the web to find out if there are sexual offenders in your area.
• Keep up-to-date medical/dental history and finger print cards. Contact the Logan County Sheriff s Office or Sterling Police Department for Child ID kits.
• Teach your child that there is always someone to help them, and they have the right to be safe.
• If approached by someone who makes the child uncomfortable, the child should immediately run away and make noise, drawing attention to his or her situation. Rather than just screaming, the child should shout something specific such as "stranger get away from me leave me alone this is not my parent help."
• If followed or made uncomfortable in any way, the child should always tell you or another adult right away.
• If the child is attacked for something of value that he has, he should immediately give it up rather than risk harm.
• Consider role playing with your children using scenarios that they could face and what basic safety precautions they should use.
• Make sure that your children know that they can always discuss with you things that cause them concern or make them feel uncomfortable.
• Most importantly, establish a relationship with your child where they are comfortable coming to you with anything.
The male, who was hiding in the bushes near the north end of the Fleming School football field, came out of the bushes to pull her in, according to a Logan County Sheriff's Office news release.
He then reportedly pushed her back out of the bushes.
The girl told investigators she was screaming and fighting to get away from the male, whom she described as taller and wearing a black shirt, blue jacket and a hoodie over his head. She couldn't determine the male's age.
No injuries or threats were made during the incident, and the girl and two other classmates ran to Fleming School to report the incident.
LCSO Investigator Joe McBride said the incident would have happened over the "lunch hour" but couldn't give an exact time.
He said no one was picked up on scene, and investigators still don't know whether the male was an older kid or an adult. The incident, he said, was like a similar case in Merino in which an 11-year-old girl reported being chased to school in October, but "this one seemed a bit more suspicious."
The LCSO is asking for any information that the public may have concerning the male or other suspicious incidents in the Fleming area. To report any tips, contact Investigator Shane Schliesser at 970-522-2578.
"All we're asking is that if something went on that went unreported, they'd report it now," McBride said.
LCSO urges parents to talk to their children about stranger safety.

NucleoBond Xtra Midiprep kits are a new generation of anion exchange midiprep plasmid purification kits based on the patented NucleoBond technology. The typical yields of ≥ 250 μg of ultra-pure plasmid DNA can be obtained in about half of the time compared to other Midiprep kits. The entire plasmid purification procedure takes 68 min with NucleoBond Xtra Midi kits and 28 min with NucleoBond Xtra Midi Plus kits.
NucleoBond Xtra Midiprep kits contain an enlarged column with a lower silica resin bed. This in turn enables faster flow of lysate and buffers through the columns. Specially-designed column filters are included for convenient and time-saving clarification of bacterial lysates. The column filters are supplied inserted in the NucleoBond Xtra Midiprep columns and allow parallel clarification of bacterial lysate and loading onto the column. Their large, structured surface leads to high filter flow rates and minimizes the risk of clogging. The improved silica material has greater DNA binding capacity and is based on the proven NucleoBond anion-exchanger group MAE (methylaminoethanol). Optimized buffer compositions additionally lead to improved alkaline lysis and increased column flow rates.

Bacteria are harvested from an overnight culture and lysed by an optimized alkaline lysis procedure. The bacterial lysate is cleared and loaded onto the equilibrated column in one step, and the plasmid DNA binds to the anion-exchange resin. The first washing step (using equilibration buffer) is performed with the column filter inserted, to wash out residual lysate from the filter and obtain maximum recovery of DNA. After washing, the purified plasmid DNA is eluted in a high-salt buffer and precipitated with isopropanol. Precipitation can be performed by centrifugation (NucleoBond Xtra Midiprep kit) or by using the NucleoBond Finalizer included in the NucleoBond Xtra Midiprep Plus kits to reduce the total prep time to about 30 minutes.

He might not have made the flashy plays or had the big scoring night, but Tristan Finch had his fingerprints all over Augusta's win Friday night.
He made steals and deflected passes. He saved a couple of loose balls from going out of bounds by catching and passing in mid-air. He even had five assists and helped the Orioles transition game get going.
"I helped on backside, We're always outsized, so help on the backside and keep them from penetrating and it seemed to work," Finch said. "It's our best offense when our transition gets us going."
All of that helped add up to a 64-44 victory against Circle on Homecoming night Friday.
Finch scored 11 points, all in the second half after two early fouls forced him to miss most of the second quarter. He made some great plays dropping down low with helpside defense, particularly against Circle's top big man, Stewart Dennison, who was held to just eight points.
"He was great," coach David Stephenson said of Finch. "He was definitely the spark that got us going. He deflected every ball. I don't know how many steals he got, assists. He was great passing it in fast break. He was really good all night."
The Orioles wasted no time taking control of the game. They had four steals in the first three minutes that led to scores as Augusta jumped out to a 7-2 lead.
"I always tell the guys that defensive rebounds with this teams equals good offense every time," Stephenson said. "And then obviously, steals do that for everybody."
Stephenson said he felt Circle's defense focused on not giving Oriole sharpshooter Kesten Trebbe good looks from the perimeter, but Trebbe still found a way to score. He even made a couple of stepback 3-pointers, still hit four threes in all and finished with a team-high 20 points. Trebbe hit the first three baskets in the second quarter to give Augusta a 22-11 lead, and it never looked back.
Even though a couple of Augusta's top scorers had an off night, several other Orioles stepped up. The team had balanced scoring—six different Orioles scored on their first eight baskets.
Augusta had 16 assists on the night and forced 20 turnovers. Augusta hit four 3-pointers for all 12 of its second-chance points.
Brandon Smith had eight points. Chase Winter scored seven. Connor Hurst had six. Kyler Steinkamp added five. Kolton Schenker had three. Caleb Laubhan and Caleb Dunn both scored two points apiece. Dunn hit a nice jumper from the elbow while Laubhan scored on a putback.
Augusta will travel to take on Andale Tuesday, Feb. 12.
