Turkish artillery hit targets near Syria's Tel Abyad border town for a second day on Thursday, killing several Syrian soldiers according to activists and security sources, after a mortar bomb fired from the area killed five Turkish civilians.
Turkey's government said "aggressive action" against its territory by Syria's military had become a serious threat to its national security and sought parliamentary approval for the deployment of Turkish troops beyond its borders.
"Turkey has no interest in a war with Syria. But Turkey is capable of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary," Ibrahim Kalin, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, said on his Twitter account.
"Political, diplomatic initiatives will continue," he said.
In the most serious cross-border escalation of the 18-month uprising in Syria, Turkey hit back after what it called "the last straw" when a mortar hit a residential neighborhood of the southern border town of Akcakale on Wednesday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said several Syrian soldiers were killed in the Turkish bombardment of a military post near the Syrian town of Tel Abyad, a few miles across the frontier from Akcakale. It did not say how many soldiers died.

Cordray Facing Renewed GOP Grilling
Partisan politics will be on full display Tuesday when the Senate Banking Committee conducts its nomination hearing for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray.
Senate Republican leaders have threatened to block the confirmation vote unless the CFPB is reformed. The GOP is calling for replacing Cordray with a five-person commission and subjecting the CFPB to the Senate appropriations process.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, introduced a bill last month that would legislate the change.
Cordray's future at the bureau has also been challenged by an appeals court ruling that invalidated appointments made by President Barack Obama to the National Labor Relations Board. The appointments, made while the Senate was in pro forma session; Cordray was appointed the same day as the NLRB appointees.
On Feb. 27, Sen. Elizabeth Warren urged credit union leaders to advocate for the CFPB and Cordray during their visits on Capitol Hill during CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference.
"Never before in American history has a minority in the Senate blocked a nominee to try to get changes in a law they don't like and don't have the votes to change," she said.
The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington. Former prosecutor turned big bank attorney Mary Jo White will also take the stand to answer questions regarding her nomination to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission. She is expected to be confirmed by the Senate.

Discussion in 'Trek Literature' started by Haval_Runa, Apr 10, 2006.
The voices of Bart Simpson and Elmyra Duff make you think of "loveable", "Innocent" and "Awwww..."?
Well, you have to think of a floating alien dolphin (in a specially made Starfleet uniform) working in Engineering...not Elmyra or Bart...
I had never heard of him, so I googled, as one does. At first the only pics I could find were contest night at the leather bar, then I looked further...
"Oh... that's who he is." <giggle>
Interesting choice, amusingly appropriate, and oddly enough, he can actually act.
For Christieen Vale what about Callista Flockhart
Yea i picked him for two reasons first to me he just seems to fit Ranul's description big well built ect and second reason is well.....he's freakin hot!!!
but he matches the physical description pretty well, dont you think?
No, Christine is not severely malnourished.
Some I came up with while reading; I think some have already picked the same individuals:
*Mandala Flynn from 'The Entropy Effect'-Kadida or Rashida Jones
*Reese Diksen from 'Star Trek: Recovery'-Ellen Page
*Admiral Nogura-Clyde Kusatsu
*Vicenzo Farrenga-Isaac de Barkol
The last name definitely sounds African.
*Miranda Kadohata-Stephanie Jacobsen
The girl from BSG:Razor who is of mixed ancestry, and Australian. I believe they have her picture on Memory Beta as an idea for the character anyhow...
*Ensign Rosado-Rita Moreno
*Elias Vaughn-Burt Reynolds
Give the guy a role he and work with, and he'll do wonders....
*Prynn Tenmei-Sandrine Holt, Moon Bloodgood, Tia Cararre (sp?)
Some have mentioned Grace Park, but Park doesn't look 'mixed.' However, I recall Tia Cararre doesn't actually looked mixed either, and she portrayed a half-black/half-Asian-Japanese on the film 'Rising Sun'....soooo....
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's at least one scene where she, you know, actually EATS something. That would pretty much rule out Callista.
I thought of another idea what about Renee O,Conner (Gabbrielle in Xena) as Christeen Vale.
That's actually a very interesting idea. By now, she'd be about the right age, and she is generally the right type physically.
I was going to add Hugh Cambridge to my list of casted individuals above, but I'm having trouble placing him with an actor.
Maybe someone can help me?
Hugh Laurie.
Yeah, I can see that working...
I may be mistaken, but hasn't Kirsten Beyer actually said that Laurie was her inspiration for Cambridge?
hence why i said him.
She's a good choice for Kadohata (if maybe too young), but she also seems much like I picture Prynn Tenmei.
I like a lot of David Mack's choices for the Vanguard characters. (I see a few differently, though.)
Diego Reyes - Edward James Olmos
Rana Dasai - Parminder Nagra
Dr. Fisher - Morgan Freeman
Cervantes Quinn - Stanley Adams
Ming Xiong - Jet Li
Lurqual - Katherine Heigel
Ganz - Ving Rhames
Oriano D'Amato - Monica Belucci
Atish Khatami - Catherine Bell
Aledard Nassir - Ben Kingsley
Vanessa Theriault - Molly Quinn (in a few years)
I have a very specific image of Zhao Sheng in mind, but don't know of an actor who fits it - something along the lines of Chow Yun Fat crossed with Brad Pitt, but less handsome (and slightly gray at the temples).
A new photoshop of Chaves-Jacobsen as Kadohata (except the rank, it could as easily be Tenmei).
That's pretty cool, Columbia!
Agreed. That's impressive. It also reminds me that I should do more of mine, although I'll admit they aren't as good as that one.
Late to the party, but I've been fancasting AOS versions of TOS novel characters, and fell in love with the idea of Gina Holden as Enterprise Chief Engineer Caitlin Barry from Vulcan's Glory and The Rift.
Also, I could totally see Natalie Morales as a young Charlotte "Caliente" Chavez in Who Much...? mostly cos Wendy Watson could SO hold her own against Jim Kirk. (This particular fancasting came out of a long Livejournal thread about Noser playing "Stump the Band" with the current Enterprise senior staff.)
I've already posted this in other casting theads, but here's my Cait:
Separate names with a comma.

Samsung already planning an 8-core ARM chip
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Nov 2012, 19:49
We knew that quad-core chips wouldn't be the end of the line for mobile devices, but we expected that they'd get a few years of maturation before the next step of processor evolution came. But, it looks like Samsung is already planning 8-core ARM chips...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
BURN BATTERY BURN!!! xD
3. MeoCao (unregistered)
This actually the measure to save battery life.
4 small cores for normal tasks
4 powerful cores for heavy duty
Come on Sammy, use the chip for GS4.
12. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
ohh... i never thought of that... xD
15. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2721; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Apparently never bothered to read the article either...
17. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
You didn't even bother to read the text, did you? Just read the title and made the comment...
45. whysoserious (Posts: 318; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Quad core is already an overkill. 8 cores would be like killing the other competitors, resurrecting them and killing them once again.
Badass Samsung.
46. flamencoguy (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Aug 2012)
All the better to leapfrog Apple and give iFans something to think about. Let Apple play catch up.
2. GoBears (Posts: 454; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Samsung's innovation is really pushing boundaries every day. I love it.
4. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
Since when is adding more cores to a processor/phone a good thing? Plus its based on ARM architecture, so where is Sammy innovating?
11. MeoCao (unregistered)
This is not as easy as it sounds. SS is successful where TI failed miserably. TI has much more experience in chip making by the way.
20. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
TI "failed" coz they are an american company that get huge profit!
14. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
and if not innovation then what do you call it? adding core may risk the battery-life but it gives a phone a better processing speed 3Dgaming experience HD video taking and more.. its a progress and progress always leads to innovation
23. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
Innovation is also taking things and ideas that already exist, combine them and turn them into something better than what existed before.
32. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
So putting two sets of quad-cores, and make them to be able to switch with each other in order to save battery is not innovation?
It's innovation in terms of how it works, not the number of cores..
and no, they are not adding more cores, at any given time, there are only 4 cores running.. Isn't that the same as the usual quad cores?
You should start talking like your nickname.. be ashamed of your own nick..
44. flamencoguy (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Aug 2012)
You obviously do not know or appreciate what it takes to add more cores. Just look at Intel and how long it took them to advance to the next level of multicores. The lines have to be small enough for one to get put more cores in the same size die.
34. Oxygen (Posts: 125; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
I totally agree! I went from apple to sony to samsung. If samsung keep going this way, i think i'm going to stick to their products for a long time.
35. nacho69 (Posts: 21; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I'll switch to Sammy when they use imagination gpu's in their chips.
5. Nocturne (Posts: 24; Member since: 21 May 2012)
Technically an eight core, but in a practical sense only 4 will be working at a time correct?
So battery life will remain relatively similar, but performance will once again do a huge jump:D
4+4 big.LITTLE FTW!
28. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
In some cases, I think that the battery life will be much better than the today processors.
In theory, only in more elaborated games the consumption will be close of the today's consumption. In all other scenarios it will be much better... In theory...
6. someones4 (Posts: 625; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
I imagine that this is for tablets. Although i hope the s4 will sport one of these babies.
7. masterchina (Posts: 55; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
SWEET! my contract should be up by the time this rolls out.
8. cncrim (Posts: 1005; Member since: 15 Aug 2011)
All core sound so awesome, but can have 8, 12 ,16..... 48 cores and without developer write program to support it all those cores will just sitting there doing nothing. More core is alway welcome, it will help my battery stay on longer IF SOMEONE figure out how to power management it.
9. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
wow!! if the said rumors turns out to be true.. my prediction is right that in the year 2014 there will be a 14-core in a phone! LOl! well you cant blame me for every year core seems to double from 2010(1ghz) 2011 (dual-core) 2012(quad-core).. but anyways, way to go i commend samsung for expanding the limit of nowadays innovation
10. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
We always hear rumors of Samsung doing this and that. (flexible screens etc..) that we have yet to see, this only means that they are doing test on this.. it may be a while before we see them. so please enjoy your quad- cores..
25. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Do not sorry iPhone 10 will have a quad core...
36. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
iOS can do quadcore whenever but Androids needs it to run that laggy OS.. unless you are the 13% that have JB
27. Twisted247 (Posts: 282; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Rumors huh? How about doing a simple Google search or YouTube search..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
The above are just two of many.. and we will "enjoy our quadcores" and maybe in a year or two apple might come out with one (I mean there are plenty available right now that they can rip off then turn around release it and call it innovating.. lmao) Then maybe your hater and ignorant comments that stem from jealously and envy will subside. Probably not though cause Android is dominating the race and they aren't looking back, just cruising forward.
37. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
why jealousy.. I can buy Android if I wanted to so trust me there is no jealousy.. dont get sensitive on my comment is not like you own Android do you? I thought so...this is a public forum.. not everyone will agree with you.. get over it
13. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
this sounds nice! very futuristic! but dont know if android is ready for this huge change....
well unlike windows phone, which is said to be able to run more than quad core coz it is base in windows NT...but still wondering why no manufacturers pick up s4 pro....
oh well would love to see this to happen!
and this is the very reason why we shouldn't hate other company (coz actually i hate samsung) coz without more and more competition, innovation is clogged!
18. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1036; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I'm not saying this is too much but it does seem like quite a jump. I'd think a quad core A15 with a dual A7 makes more sense as a next step. Not complaining though.

Step aside, Disney -- Mother Nature's got this animal cuteness covered!
A real baby deer and bunny in Colorado seem to have tapped into their inner-Bambi and Thumper, and fortunately for all of us, their playful fun has all been caught on camera.
YMCA of the Rockies posted a video of the fawn (whom they've nicknamed Bambi) and rabbit (nicknamed Thumper) to its Facebook page Tuesday. According to local NBC affiliate 9NEWS, the unlikely pals played for 30 to 40 minutes together outside the Lula W. Dorsey Museum, which is part of the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park.
NEWS: The 22 most underrated Disney movies of all time
This wasn't a one-time get-together for Bambi and Thumper either. Various staffers tell 9News they've seen the animals hanging out together every day. Is it too much to hope these two stay friends forever and don't have a sad ending like their cartoon counterparts?

When I answer questions of a personal nature, Coldplay.com readers often get in touch with their own thoughts. So, we now have a weekly feature, Team Oracle, whereby each Friday (with the question asker's permission) we open up a question to all of you to answer too. Then, the following Friday, I'll post a selection of the best answers, alongside my own reply.
ANYONE can join in so, if you'd like to, please email your response to the following question, in no more than 200 words, to firstname.lastname@example.com before Thursday 7th July.
In April, I ended things with a guy. I still liked him alot, but I just didn't want a relationship. He took it really hard, and I'm pretty sure he hates me now. Whenever I try to talk to him, he keeps saying how I broke his heart and everything, and I'm starting to feel really bad and guilty about what happened. I know I have no reason to, I just didn't want a relationship, it was a mistake. But I still feel terrible. Now I can't stop saying I'm sorry, and he just won't forgive me.
At this point, he is being childish, but I can't take the guilt of knowing I've broken someones heart anymore. I don't know what to do about it if he won't accept my sincere apologies.
Also, a lot of his friends are starting to hate me now. Some of them are also my friends and I'm losing them.
Dear Oracle, please help me. I can't take the guilt and the hate. I don't know what to do anymore.
Grace, Canada.
Look forward to seeing your replies.
The Oracle.
Please email your replies to email@example.com.

Title: Full House
A/N: Do you believe me when I say I don't even normally write Ron? And yes, this is me, sort of making fun of the movie Ron who always is saying a certain swearword...
"I hate Christmas," Ron said, throwing his socks down on the bed. "I bloody hate it. There's always people. Lots and lots of bloody people. They fill the house all the bloody way. I have to share a room with you, and with George, and...I hate Christmas."
"You don't hate Christmas," said Harry reasonably. "Christmas gives presents, and firewhisky, both of which you like."
"You're right," Ron sighed. "I just hate all the relatives that come. I mean, do Mum and Dad have to invite Aunt Muriel? What good is she going to do? She never gives good gifts anyway."

Opiate Pain Relievers for Low Back Pain
Opiate Pain Relievers for Low Back PainSkip to the navigation
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Norco, Vicodin
|Dilaudid, Exalgo
|OxyContin, Percocet
|Ryzolt, Ultram
Opiates are also called opioids or narcotics.
Opiates are sometimes combined with other medicines. For example, Percocet is oxycodone combined with acetaminophen.
How It Works
Opiate pain relievers suppress your perception of pain and calm your emotional response to pain. These drugs reduce not only the number of pain signals sent by the nervous system but also the brain's reaction to those pain signals.
Why It Is Used
Opiates are usually reserved for the treatment of severe short-term (acute) back or leg pain that has not responded to other medicines. Because opiates are potentially addictive, they are usually prescribed only for 1 to 2 weeks.
Sometimes opiates are used for people who cannot take pain medicines such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because they have conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver problems. Or opiates may be used for people who take other medicines that should not be combined with pain medicines.
How Well It Works
There is no clear evidence that opiates help either acute or chronic low back pain more than other treatments. footnote 1 , footnote 2 They seem to help some people, but sometimes the amount of medicine you need for relief causes side effects that make daily functioning difficult. Further study is needed.
Opiate pain relievers for chronic low back pain should only be administered by health professionals with experience in chronic pain management. There is a significant potential for addiction and other complications from prolonged use of this type of medicine.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Signs of an overdose, including:
- Cold, clammy skin.
- Confusion.
- Severe nervousness or restlessness.
- Severe dizziness, drowsiness, or weakness.
- Slow breathing.
- Seizures.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- A fast, slow, or pounding heartbeat.
- Increased sweating.
- Redness or flushing of the face.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Constipation.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint.
- Drowsiness.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Opiate pain relievers are strong medicines that can be very helpful in treating pain, especially after an injury or surgery. They are safest when you use them exactly as your doctor prescribes. But there is a risk of addiction when you take them for more than a few days. The risk is lower if you follow your doctor's instructions on how to take them. Your risk is slightly higher if you or someone in your family has a history of substance abuse. If you are worried about addiction, talk with your doctor.
Some of these medicines have acetaminophen in them. Check the labels on all the other nonprescription and prescription medicines you take. Many medicines have acetaminophen. Do not take two or more medicines with acetaminophen in them unless your doctor has told you to. Taking too much acetaminophen can be harmful. If you have questions about this, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Opiates may be considered if other medicines and treatments have not controlled pain or are not safe for you. To make this decision, you and your doctor may consider:
- Your risks from taking other medicines such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs .
- Your risk of becoming dependent on opiates.
- The risk of opiates making you drowsy.
- How much opiates might relieve your pain.
Dry mouth is common with these medicines. To help with dry mouth, you can chew sugarless gum, suck on sugarless candy, or melt ice in your mouth. If you continue to have problems with dry mouth after a couple of weeks, call your doctor. Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed .
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

GREENSBORO — Hill Farmstead Brewery's expanded space is open to the public for retail sales.
The expansion is not completed, but the space allows customers to wait inside for tastes of beer, to buy bottled beer, and to buy or fill up growlers, which are big, reusable beer bottles. Waiting lines will probably be just as long as before because the new space has the same number of taps as before, six.
An ell off the new space is so far just a foundation, but eventually it will hold a new brewery with a mezzanine area and windows so people can see production. Once the expansion is finished, which is expected to be in October, retail space will exist in the end of the ell. It will include a rest room for the public.
"The plan is to serve bread and cheese," Mr. Hill said.
Meanwhile, a portable toilet is available outside. Continue reading

Golaf: Ok.. can we leave now??
EpochSoda: Sure... let's go....
Meanwhile on the Rooftops of Downtown
Triskiona:... I hate having an appointment while I could be out fighting Robots, or dinosaurs...
then, from behind a shadow a man appears... wearing a white suit and throwing away some weird dices
Man in White: Isn't it interesting how actions are formed with words, and words can express actions and feelings...
Triskiona points her GigaGuy cannon to the direction of the voice
the Man in White shows himself
Triskiona's GigaGuy cannon transforms into a butterfly...
Triskiona crushes the butterfly in her hands
Man in White: you should take some anger-management lessons...
Triskiona Shut up RWG...
RWG: Why calling me that way? I have a name you know!
Triskiona: Yes I know... but I won't say it
RWG: Say it I say!
Triskiona NO!
RWG: You will Say it!
Triskiona: I'll never say it!
Triskiona says RWG's name out loud
Triskiona: R-R-Rand-om Word Gen-Gen-nerator!
Triskiona drops to her knees
Triskiona: what... what was that? Did I... do what you wanted?
RWG: Indeed my dear...
Triskiona: But.. you... generate Random words... how... you.. can't manipulate the words you generate...
RWG: A lot of things can change, and a lot can be learned...
Triskiona: What... what do you want from me?
RWG: First of al... I want you to stand...
Triskiona stands
Triskiona: this is getting weird
RWG: Now.. I want you to join me
Triskiona: and why would I do that?
RWG: Just.. follow me with this reasoning. Now.. I can generate the words I want to distort reallity... Now... I can say anything I want and it will become true... so.... what if I say "Triskiona is the most powerfull being in the universe",. Wouldn't it become true?
RWG: All I'm asking is you joining me and the person who gave me this ability...
Triskiona: I.. don't know...
RWG: Think about it... you could be the most... powerfull... being... in the universe...
Triskiona starts shaking...
Back in Shiloh, our heroes are about to meet Valera
Carygon Nijax: Finally! we are here!
Nurse: Let me warn you... she's insane.. lately she has been watching some weird movie about a group of heroes, the RDC or something like that...

Valera looks at the RPC
Valera: It took you long to reach this point...
Oiler: well you know... we lost the card, and we had to-

Canon Realis SX60 LCoS Front Projector
Most people know Canon as a maker of cameras, camcorders, and printers. But the company also produces plenty of other stuff, including video front projectors. After learning that Canon's Realis SX60 ($5,000), an LCoS-based model mainly intended for industrial applications - computer imaging, photography, and that sort of thing - also offers a Home Cinema mode to optimize its picture for movie-watching, we began to wonder: Can this projector cut it for home theater? Before we knew it, a box had arrived, and the Canon Realis SX60 LCoS front projector was officially plugged into the review queue.
All the front projectors we've tested in the past year are either 1080p- or 720p-rez models, but the SX60's three LCoS chips fall in between with a resolution of 1,400 x 1,050 pixels (SVGA+). It also differs in the native aspect ratio of those display chips - 4:3 as opposed to 16:9. That alone needn't prevent you from using a 16:9 screen, since the Canon can also format widescreen HDTV or DVD images. But the 16:9 route involves some ergonomic and picture-quality compromises, the details of which we'll get to shortly.
The projector's polished appearance definitely indicates that it's intended for things other than boardroom duty. With a slate-gray case, silver trim, and rounded edges, it wouldn't look bad at all hanging from a living room ceiling.
Controls including zoom and focus, as well as buttons for navigating menus and switching inputs, are on the top. Side- panel connections include DVI (HDMI- compatible with an adapter), a VGA jack that doubles as a component-video input with the included adapter, and both standard-def composite- and S-video inputs.

text: My Brother Mark and I decided to get back into motorcycling now that our children are grown. We loved to ride when we were younger, but families, careers and worried wives put a temporary 25 years hiatus on motorcycling. We decided to get bikes and both of us head out to Yellowstone. Mark leaving from Los Angeles where he is an Executive Vice President at Paramount Pictures and me from Portland Oregon where I sell Auto Parts. Guess who the Beverly Hillbilly is? Mark called earlier this year and said he had some friends that would like to go along. I told him I did as well. Fast forward 8 months and we now have 3 Hillbillys, me, Jeff and Steve and 6 Kardashians, my Brother Mark, Jim S., Jim W., Randy, John and Jim S's wife Nancy. The whole Kadashian crew have careers in the movie business while Jeff, Steve and me all work in the automotive business. Jeff is also a home builder as well. The plan was for Jeff, Steve and me to leave Portland on Friday August 24th after a half day of work and ride to Klamath Falls Oregon for the night. Saturday we would leave Klamath Falls and head towards South Lake Tahoe. The Kadashians would leave La La Land Saturday morning and meet up with us at Randy's beautiful home in Tahoe. After boating, jet ski riding and ridiculously good food and hospitality at Randy and his wife Sue's place on Saturday and Sunday, we were off to Winnemucca Nevada Sunday evening. Oh how things change quickly! We left one of the most incredible places in th U.S. and into the barren desert. Leaving Tahoe and heading towards Winnemucca we got hammered by giant crosswinds all the way to Lovelock Nevada. Into Winnemucca for the evening and a great little motel and then off to Twin Falls Idaho on Monday. We are currently in Twin Falls and off to Jackson Hole Wyoming today. Pictures to follow. Troy

Shattered Stosur says sorry
Samantha Stosur has apologised to home fans for her shattering first-round loss at the Australian Open.
"I am really sorry and extremely disappointed that I have not been able to repay the great faith and support the fans have offered me here in Melbourne and indeed around Australia," Stosur said in the wake of her gut-wrenching straight-sets defeat to Romania's world No.59 Sorana Cirstea.
"People have talked about the pressure and expectation, but you've got to take it when it comes.
"That's what comes with being a good player. You have to deal with it and I am so determined to learn from the past three weeks and come back stronger.
"Please rest assured guys, the cheering helps. A lot. One day, I hope I can reward your belief in me."
The fallen champion made no attempt to disguise her devastation after penning one of the most inglorious chapters of her celebrated career on Tuesday.
"I'm probably very close to crying, having a really awful night," Stosur said after becoming the first women's US Open winner in 45 years of professional tennis to subsequently fall in the first round of the Australian Open.
"But I think you feel what you feel, whether it's good or bad. It's hard to suppress those emotions when it means so much to you."
Stosur's Open campaign lasted just 91 minutes before the 27-year-old bowed out with a 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 defeat.
The world No.5's unscheduled exit continues her miserable record at her home grand slam.
In 10 visits, Stosur has managed just 14 wins and she's only twice progressed beyond the third round.
But having reigned in New York last September just two months after succumbing in the first round at Wimbledon, Stosur refuses to believe she won't one day achieve her dream of winning the Australian Open.
"The last few years I got beaten by players who definitely played better than me on the day," Stosur said.
"Third, fourth rounds obviously aren't where you want to go, but certainly better than a first round. All you can do is come back next year and keep trying.
"Obviously, it's not hard to improve on a first-round loss.
"I've got the rest of the year obviously. Of course I want to do better here, but I can't think that, oh, because this month didn't go the way I wanted it to, the year is shot either.
"It's not going to deter me from doing what I want to do. If anything, it will probably spur me on to try even harder and do even more."
But carrying the hopes of a nation, Stosur conceded she may have tried too hard to deliver.
"Of course I wanted to do very well here. You want it to come right now," she said.
"That's sport. Unfortunately you can't pick and choose when it's all going to happen for you."
After a second-round loss in Brisbane and first-round demise in Sydney, Stosur arrived in Melbourne down on confidence and openly admitting to struggling under the weight of expectation.
"It affects you physically," she said.
"That's probably the easiest sign for the outside people to see ... to see that you tighten up, your shoulders do get tight, you don't hit through the ball.
"When anyone's nervous, I think the first thing that goes is your footwork. You don't move your feet as well. Once that breaks down, it's easy for other things to start breaking down."

I took my first 100 mile ride today!
25 degrees...no sweat. Aerostitch vest was warm and toastie. The Bandit fired on the first touch of the starter button. The new Continental Contiforce tires are sweet!
I stopped at Bala's H-D in Mauston and sat on an XR1200. Very cool bike. Nice workmanship. Really tall though. It felt about 1 inch higher in the seat than the Bandit. Also, I should mention that the seat is about as comfy as the dirt tracker the bike is made to emulate.....In other words, it's about 5/8" of leather covered foam on hard plastic. Uggh! Definately not worth the $10,700 they have on the price tag.
From Mauston I took a ride up to Necedah along Catle Rock Flowage, wary sand and wet patches.
'Ol Burt was right. You really do live more in five minutes on a motorcycle than some people do in a lifetime.

Just another example of why English football is the best for drama
lol, more FIFA fun - FIFA suspends Bin Hammam, Blatter cleared; how convenient when Bin Hammam was looking to beat Blatter in the upcoming election.
I'm glad Man U lost, Rooney's over rated and England's never going to win a trophy again if we keep praising him.
Yes he's so over rated fancy scoring a goal in the final of the CL, being Utd's best player (not hard though) and somehow it makes him crap . England are not going to win a trophy not because of Rooney but because we don't have any decent backup for him.
Also so what were supposed to call him shit ever game? is that supposed to make him play better? I also didn't know Rooney was also the main reason behind our poor defending at the 2010 world cup.
Here's what I made during World Cup 2010...
I got soo tired of seeing those Cartoonize yourself ads with Wayne Rooney and then a stupid characture of him, so I made my own.
Hey, just curious, does anyone know why Berbaov got left off the game day squad? The announcers mentioned it in passing but I never heard why he was left off the bench.
I know, it's the manager's team and he can do whatever he pleases, but it seems odd to leave him off the bench. The guy did score 20 goals for you this year.
I bet he's going to be sold this summer.
^^ Think you answered your own question there
He'll be gone in the summer. Fergie obviously thought that Owen was a better option for the final.
Barcelona were brilliant, and thank God they didn't need to resort to diving all over the place to sour the occasion. As it was it was a magnificent spectacle of showcase football.
To be honest, they're playing exceptional football at exactly the wrong time for the rest of Europe. Man Utd, Chelsea, Milan, Inter - all ageing sides or sides in transition.
I'd be worried if I were United - that side needs a major overhaul IMO - Giggs, Scholes, Van der Sar all need replacing, and IMO, if Man Utd really want to compete at the very highest level again then Carrick, Park and Valencia need to be improved upon.
Farewell, Dave Jones! So now who comes in to manage Cardiff? I have no idea, but no doubt the usual suspects will get onto the shortlists. Just please not Allardyce/Laws/Megson/Shearer
Oh, and Berbatov is useless in big games. Always has been, even when he was at Spurs. not much good at a team like United where there're more big games than normal.
Probably for the best for both Cardiff and Jones really...
So Swansea in the Prem, they'll either be a revalation or they'll be torn apart (lets face it we beat them with ease!)
That is so true. Even in video games! In FIFA '10, I was playing as Fulham and Berbatov missed a couple chances inside the small box within the box.
It was such a good final I don't mind them going up. Hopefully they'll get torn apart and not stay too long.
The whole thing has brought out all the usual anti-Welsh teams comments from the usual places, so I don't mind having them in the Prem just to annoy those trolls. And in fairness, Swansea as a city needs money, which it will get from Premier League crowds and business.
Paul Scholes has retired today and no doubt he was one of the best players EVER to play the beautiful game. People talk about how good Xavi is today and has been over the last 5 years but for me Scholes is king...
At his 10 year best between 1995-2005, Paul Scholes could do everything Xavi can do now but add goals, goals & goals, which for me ranks the ginger ninja higher. If you were to compare his abiities to other players then Paul Scholes at his best had the vision of Beckham, the passing of Xavi + the touch and shot of Zidane. A true great of the game who scored over 150 goals in 675 games for United. Between his golden years in between 1995 & 2005 he scored...
120 goals in 439 games - bloody brilliant for a midfielder and god knows how many assists he had.
Like Xavi and Zidane, I too love Paul Scholes. I love his complete inability to tackle, and I love his screaming volleys, and I love his comedy red cards (my favourite being the one in the Super Cup v Zenit, when he punched the ball into the net from a corner to 'equalise').
He's definitely right to retire now. He's not quite had it, but he's past his best. He'll be missed. What an impetus for United to spend on midfield though.
Aoplogies - I didn't mean axe him - his domestic success is unparalleled, but in Europe the tactical side of game seems to elude him at times, and that is probably why a 3rd CL title will probably elude him.
442 with Carrick and Giggs in the centre vs Barca? Park tucking in to help but even he ran out of steam, Hernandez over Berbatov in a 2 up top? Omitting Berbatov for Owen even on the bench?
It did seem to leave a of space for Barca to exploit - I thought 4-2-3-1 and deny them the space and hit them on the break - something Utd excel at pace and are experienced in playing like.
Re Scholes - superb player - 'dodgy' tackling apart - and, despite being a Liverpool fan, I have to admit he's been one of the top midfielders of his generation - and also an advert for how a modern footballer can behave and act off and on the pitch.
Good luck to him, and it'll be a good grounding for many a young player to learn from him in the future in his coaching role.
As for FIFA - 'elections are to be decided by secret ballot', 'wages are not for public knowledge', 'FIFA contracts are behind closd doors', 'Blatter may donate gifts and money as he sees fit through the GOAL fund' - are far from the transparency called for by fans, the media and the 'football family' sponsors - and soon, even the Swiss Government.
FIFA is a actually a charity - perhaps all of it's 208 member associations should publicly vote on everything FIFA decides and wants to do - instead of select executive committees who operate in secret and are seemingly corrupt doing as they see fit. All 208 members' reps should declare any potential conflicting interests in their businesses and personal lives - and all contracts to 3rd parties should be publicly disclosed and no more secret payments. Also, representatives of fan groups should also be part of FIFA and have voting rights along with the 208 member associations - for too long the fans have had little or no say in how the game is run, the ticket prices and treatment of fans at these events. That'd make a start.
If they stay as are, they may as well renamed themselves Thiefa.
and, yes, the English FA are corrupt too.
All 208 member associations to vote on world cup locations going foward apparently.
I doubt I will ever see an ENG World Cup in my lifetime because there is so much anti English sentiment around the world. Personally If I could choose the next 3 world cups after the farce that will be 2022 then I would love to see...
England, Australia, USA and a return to South Korea/Japan between 2026 and 2040.
On the other hand, we can make like the Russians and get the rest of the commonwealth to vote for us......
The head of the Argentina FA actually said in front of everyone "Give us back the Falklands and we'll vote for you". Theres being tact and then theres time you just want a member of THE FA (not just any FA, THE FA) to stand up and smack some of these smary cunts in FIFA.
I would not hesitate to burn the fucking HQ building down with the stinking rats inside it.
Best response to that would be to surface a Trident nuclear submarine in the Rio de la Plata, off the coast of Buenos Aires. "I'm sorry, you'll be voting for us when?"
We could just unleash an army of Geordies on them, see how long they last before they cry out for mercy
Separate names with a comma.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Traded my pt cruiser three years ago, and with it my old Panasonic ghost 1083... I upgraded my speakers in my Ranger but never got around to swapping out that low fi Ford/pioneer unit. Install of the new unit took about 20 min.. Great sound, good solid feel to the controls
Pros: Easy pairing with my nexus 4
Cons: Would have liked to change the display text from white., also save some grief and download the full manual from alpine, the quick start guid redefines vague.

Capturing CO2 from power stations and burying it under the seabed is considered a possible solution to global warming. Scientists will allow CO2 to bubble through sediments from a buried pipe on the floor of a Scottish bay and monitor the area for impacts on marine life, the BBC reported Tuesday.
A number of countries are already utilizing undersea storage of CO2, although Britain is not among them.
"We want to study what happens if there is a leak from a carbon capture and storage (CCS) reservoir -- or more likely, from a fault in a pipe or at the injection site," project leader Henrik Stahl from the Scottish Marine Institute said.
In the experiment, between 170 and 1,700 pounds of CO2 per day will be released from a pipe buried about 30 feet under the sediment.
"We'll study how this affects the ecosystem, the animals and microbes living in the sediments, and how the CO2 transforms in its passage through the upper layers of the sediment," Stahl said.

Thanks a lot, Congress. It looks like you've really stuck it to us again. This time, just sitting on your hands and doing nothing is going to cause the biggest tax increase in our nation's history.
On February 18, the Washington Post reported:
On Dec. 31, the George W. Bush-era tax cuts are scheduled to expire, raising rates on investment income, estates and gifts, and earnings at all levels.... The Social Security payroll tax will pop back up to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent.... And new Medicare taxes enacted as part of President Obama's health-care initiative will for the first time strike high-income households.
The potential shock to the nation's pocketbook is so enormous, congressional aides have dubbed it "Taxmageddon."
Taxmageddon won't be the result of one massive new assault on our wallets. Instead, it will come from tax cuts expiring in seven categories, along with new tax increases taking effect because of ObamaCare.
The biggest of the bunch will come from the expiration of Bush tax cuts that were passed in 2001 and 2003. At the time, proponents argued that the only way to get enough Democrats to support the measures would be to include a cap on how long they would be in effect. As a result, our lawmakers agreed that the tax reductions would expire on December 31, 2012.
Although Democrats love to refer to the measures as "tax cuts for the wealthy," the across-the-board tax cuts actually reduced taxes for almost everyone who paid any income tax. Some 60 percent of the benefits went to middle- and low-income taxpayers.
Curtis Dubay of the Heritage Foundation prepared a detailed analysis of the tax hikes that are about to hit us:
Almost 34 percent of the tax increase from Taxmageddon comes from the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts. These cuts are best known for reducing marginal income tax rates, but they also reduced the marriage penalty, increased the Child Tax Credit and the adoption credit, and increased tax breaks for education costs and dependent care costs.
In other words, they will impact just about everyone who pays any income taxes in this country.
We're not talking about puny increases, either. Taxpayers at every level will be affected, with some of the greatest increases hitting people at the bottom of the ladder. For example, the lowest bracket is currently 10 percent. Beginning in January, it will jump to 15 percent — a 50 percent increase.
This "bracket creep" will affect every taxpayer. All of the existing brackets will go up at least 10 percent. Thus, 25 percent will become 28 percent; 28 percent becomes 31 percent; 33 percent climbs to 36 percent; and 35 percent rises to 39.6 percent. If you're in the top tax bracket, congratulations! Your tax bracket just went up 13.14 percent.
That's not all. Wait until you see what the new taxes in ObamaCare will do to you. I'll get to those in a moment.
People who depend on savings and investments will be hammered even harder than wage earners. Right now, the maximum Federal tax rate on long-term capital gains is 15 percent. Starting next year, that will go up to 20 percent — a leap of 33 percent. Those collecting dividends will suffer even more: The maximum rate will skyrocket from the existing 15 percent to a hefty 39.6 percent. (Assets acquired after Dec. 31, 2000, and held for at least five years don't get hit quite as hard.)
In other words, the thriftiest among us — the people who carefully managed their household budgets, saved some money for the future and invested those funds in stocks, bonds and CDs — will be hit the hardest. The government attack on savings makes it seem almost as though there is a scheme in Washington to punish senior citizens and make them more dependent on government.
Almost every wage earner in America will pay more in taxes when the payroll tax cuts are allowed to expire. In his 2009 State of the Union address, Barack Obama promised: "If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime."
Well, guess what? It turns out he wasn't quite telling the truth — something a lot of us have pointed out many times.
Also scheduled to expire is a temporary fix of the Alternative Minimum Tax. The AMT was originally sold to a skeptical public as a way to make sure "the rich" pay their fair share — which, of course, it never did. In 2013 it will scalp a lot more than the top 1 percent of taxpayers; current estimates indicate 34 million taxpayers will fall victim to it.
Remember the phase-out rules for itemized deductions? The big spenders in Congress came up with the bright idea of eliminating most of the credit high-income taxpayers got for deductions on mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and charitable giving. The phase-out was eliminated in 2010. But it will be back in full force next year, unless Congress acts before then.
By the way, don't think that only "the rich" will be affected here, either. If you're a married couple with an adjusted gross income of $175,000, better be prepared to lose a big bunch of the money you can deduct from your federal tax bill. If you're married but filing separately, that ceiling drops to just $87,500 — a long way from Barack Obama's $250,000 limit.
And here's an even more frightening thought: The $500 billion in increased taxes that Uncle Sam wants to take from us in 2013 will just be the beginning. As our economy continues to grow, so will the impact of all these new and higher taxes.
Just because these tax increases don't take affect for seven more months, don't think we're not feeling the effect today. As Dubay explains:
Although these tax increases will not start raising new revenue until next year, they are having a negative impact on the economy today. Families, businesses, and investors need to know how much tax they will pay in the future before making important economic decisions. The uncertainty caused by Taxmageddon means they are stuck in neutral while they wait for President Obama and Congress to act. This is slowing job creation and stopping many of the millions of unemployed Americans from going back to work.
So there you have it: higher taxes on all of us, plus fewer new jobs being created and an economy that just stumbles along, all because Congress refuses to act.
I hope you'll remember this — and remind your neighbors about it — when it comes time to vote for a new Congress this November.
Until next time, keep some powder dry.

It's a formula that's all too familiar. An early goal conceded and the inability to capitalize on chances led to the Houston Dynamo's 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Union Saturday night at Robertson Stadium.
The Union came out attacking from the first kick, pressuring the Dynamo and controlling the early portions of the match. That early pressure was enough to earn the Union an unlikely scoring opportunity through an attacking throw in.
"The way [Sheanon Williams] throws the ball is the first throw we have seen [like that]," Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell said. "It went over me, and I misread it."
Williams' long throw led to an open look for the always-dangerous Sebastien Le Toux. The Frenchman hit a shot off the crossbar, and the opportunistic Danny Califf hammered the rebound past goalkeeper Tally Hall for the early winner.
"On the first two or three, he was throwing them lopsided, and they were spinning funny," Boswell said. "I have never seen a ball thrown like that, and I have to make adjustments, and it's unlucky to give up a goal so early."
The early defensive lapse, one of the few on the night for the new Dynamo defense, forced the Dynamo to play catch-up for the next 85 minutes. The Union took the early lead as an opportunity to bunker in and close down space in the Dynamo's attacking third. It was an effective strategy that resulted in the Dynamo struggling to find space to test new goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón the remainder of the match.
"I don't think they did much the rest of the night," Boswell said. "The biggest thing is we were never able to get our goal to open up the game. I think if we had gotten one, it opens up the game."
The Dynamo's best chance came in the 68th minute when Geoff Cameron released Brad Davis down the left flank. Davis sent a low through ball past Mondragón, who had come off his line, to set up second-half sub Dominic Oduro in front of the net. However, the speedy forward was unable to put the ball on frame. The miss proved to be the Dynamo's last chance at an equalizer.
"We had one good chance," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "If you don't score goals like that, you aren't going to win the game."
The missed chances and early goal will stir up memories of the club's tough 2010. And though the Dynamo are not happy with the result, it's certainly not time to panic or rehash the past.
"We've got a new team and it's a new year," Kinnear said. "But we're not satisfied about what happened tonight and we're certainly not brushing it off."

When this news broke many were curious -- which GPUs were affected and what
exactly is the problem? Well the answer to the latter is relatively
simple -- a number of NVIDIA mobile GPUs had extremely poor thermal tolerances
thanks to defects. This leads to early chip death and faulty behaviors,
such as artifacting, as chips start to fail.
The answer to the first question -- how many -- is just now becoming
clear. It appears appears that NVIDIA's mobile offerings are much harder
hit than initial conservative estimates. Dell and HP, the two largest
computer manufacturers have just released
lists of what computers have defective chips.
It turns out virtually all the NVIDIA mobile chips are defective. NVIDIA tried
to brush off the issue stating that the issue was a "previous-generation"
problem. However, it turns out that virtually all 8400M and 8600M chips
are defective. These chips make up the bulk of NVIDIA's higher end
graphics offerings. While NVIDIA started to roll out the first of its 9
series mobile chips, the 8 series represents the flagship line of its mobile
The low to middle end chips are also virtually all defective. Among the
defective lines are the GeForce Go 7000 and 6000 lines, as well as the Quadro
NVS 135M and the Quadro FX 360M.
In order to respond to the problems HP is offering extended warranty
support. Information is available here. Dell offers a driver fix
which attempts to deal with the heat issues by pumping up fan speed, on top of
its standard warranty support.
According to Dell, signs
of GPU failure include multiple images, random characters appearing onscreen,
lines on the screen, or no video at all. Dell claims the updates will not
affect battery life. Its new Vostro line of notebooks is shipping with
the fix preinstalled.
While Dell's solution may provide a decent stopgap to carry chips outside the
warranty, it seems unlikely to be able save the chips from a shorter than
average lifetime. In the end both with Dell and HP the warranty charges
will eventually be passed on to NVIDIA.
Also, the fact that the bulk of its mobile GPUs, a major source of business,
are defective is also extremely troublesome for the giant. However, as
ATI/AMD showed with its latest series of GPUs, in the graphics industry you can
never rule out a comeback.
For those with mobile GPUs from other manufacturers, please refer to their
respective pages as many of them have posted or will be posting information on
the problems.
