There's plenty of finger pointing over who's responsible for the budget battles on Capitol Hill, but the U.S. Navy is planning for the worst regardless of who's to blame.
In a document released by Navy planners, they outline the effects of both sequestration, set to hit March 1, and the continuing budget resolution that is set to expire on March 27.
If Congress fails to stop the sequester or continues to fund the military with stop-gap measures, maintenance on the Navy's aging warships is going to be scaled back at a time when the ships are being deployed longer, and wearing faster than ever.
"We're not really talking about being in port for a little while and getting a new paint job," Lt. Commander Brian Badura, a Navy spokesman in Norfolk, Va. told Business Insider. "Typically speaking, it would usually be comprised of more sophisticated maintenance, and major system upgrades."
The Navy uses a number of different ships based out of Naval Base San Diego, Calif. and Naval Station Norfolk, Va. for a variety of missions and with different capabilities. With cuts coming, here are 20 of those ships that won't be docking at either port anytime soon.

Christophe Cherix Appointed Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books at MoMA

Christophe Cherix has been appointed The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books at
The Museum of Modern Art
, it was announced today by MoMA Director Glenn D. Lowry. In this role, Mr. Cherix will guide all aspects of the department, including its installations, acquisitions, exhibitions, and loan programs. Mr. Cherix has served as Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books at MoMA since 2007. He succeeds Deborah Wye, who will assume the position of Chief Curator Emerita.
Mr. Cherix's concentration is modern and contemporary art, with a particular focus on printed art of the 1960s and 1970s. He has specialized in such American artists as Carl Andre, Robert Morris, Barry Le Va, Allen Ruppersberg, and Mel Bochner, and in European figures including John M. Armleder, Maurizio Nannucci, and Lucy McKenzie. A longstanding interest of Cherix has been artists' books, and at one point in his career he cofounded a publishing house where this medium was a focal point. As commissioner of the 25th Biennial of Graphic Arts in Slovenia in 2003, he featured artists' books as well as a range of printed works that expanded traditional definitions of the medium.
"Christophe is an outstanding curator who has demonstrated leadership in organizing exhibitions and working with MoMA's extensive collection of prints and illustrated books," said Mr. Lowry. "He brings to this position a critically important breadth of knowledge and passion for modern and contemporary printed art that is matched by his ability to work with colleagues across the institution and beyond."
At MoMA he most recently co-organized, with MoMA's Associate Director Kathy Halbreich, the exhibition Contemporary Art from the Collection (through May 9, 2011). He also organized the exhibitions In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960-1976 (2009); Projects 88: Lucy McKenzie (2008); and Book/Shelf (2008), an exploration of how artists have used the book as an object in contemporary art. He is currently organizing a survey of prints, books, and ephemera from the late 1980s to the present, which will open at the Museum in 2012.
Mr. Cherix has played a key role in critical acquisitions for his department and has facilitated numerous cross-departmental acquisitions by artists such as Josef Albers, Huma Bhabha, David Hammons, General Idea, Donald Judd, Lucy McKenzie, Lyubov Popova, Robert Rauschenberg, Josh Smith, Dan Walsh, Charles White, Hannah Wilke, and Zarina. Over the last three years he has brought to the Museum major collections of European and American Conceptual art of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was also instrumental in securing the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection, considered the largest and most important of its kind, which documents the founding and development of the international Fluxus movement. The collection comprises some 10,000 works in a range of mediums, an extensive archive including artists' correspondence and scrapbooks, and a comprehensive reference library. Fluxus Preview, organized by Mr. Cherix in 2009 with MoMA's Fluxus Consulting Curator Jon Hendricks, celebrated this important gift with a special installation of posters, newspapers, Fluxus editions, films, and photographs in the Museum's galleries for painting and sculpture.
Mr. Cherix plays a leadership role in the research-based collaboration C-MAP (Contemporary and Modern Art Perspectives), which links MoMA curators with their colleagues around the world, encouraging international dialogue, research, and professional partnerships between institutions. His group focuses specifically on Fluxus in former Central/Eastern Europe and Japan.
Mr. Cherix began his career at the Cabinet des estampes at the Musée d'art et d'histoire in Geneva. He served in various positions, including Assistant Curator (1991-2005), and initiated important donations from artists to the collection, including Mel Bochner and Robert Morris. As Chief Curator from 2005 until 2007, he oversaw the budget, exhibition program, and acquisitions of an institution whose collection comprises over 300,000 prints. While these holdings represent the history of prints from the Renaissance to the present, the Cabinet's major area of concentration is modern and contemporary art. Among his recent exhibitions was a study of Henri Matisse's prints (2006) and a survey of vacuum-formed plastic multiples, organized with New York painter John Tremblay, which featured nearly thirty artists ranging from Claes Oldenburg to Gillian Wearing (2007). During that period, Mr. Cherix actively cultivated a relationship between the Cabinet des estampes and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Geneva (MAMCO), enabling the two institutions to collaborate on joint projects.
His numerous publications include the catalogue accompanying In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960-1976, and the catalogues raisonnés of prints by Henri Michaux (coauthored with Rainer Michael Mason) and Robert Morris. In addition, he has written extensively for many art journals and has participated widely in panels and lecture series at museums and other venues.
Mr. Cherix was born in Switzerland and received a License ès lettres from the University of Geneva. He was a Fellow of the Class of 2010 at the Center for Curatorial Leadership in New York, which included a residency at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He has been active in many organizations and committees that support the arts, both in Europe and the United States.

come on guys I never said it had to have a sad ending...
I was just saying that I don't really enjoy predictable endings, that's all... it doesn't mean it has to be a sad ending...
take ef - a tale of memories, for example... it was an expected ending at first but then there was a certain twist and the initial predictable ending turned out a bit different than people expected... and still, at the end, everyone was happy and full of joy

You didn't note something- not sure of exactly how I worded it, but drama generally leads to tragedy. Ef is one of the few shows that had a lot of drama to it and turned out well. I couldn't help but cry tears of joy with 10, and the way it ended was beautiful. Tears of joy- wonderful thing. Tears of sadness and depression= DO NOT WANT
I don't mind a few twists and turns here, as long as shit doesn't start hitting the fan. I could easily think of a few twists that would spice this up but keep a happy ending as well

Tell me about it... Calculus drains my head after class as well
but anyways, try this- with the possibility that Inner may be pushing Tsukune away due to vampire politics, he might have to undergo some sort of trial that way
Or toss in a girl who's already declared to be Tsukune's wife (sorry, I do have to throw in that situation), and things go from there, but that's already too similar to the fanfic
And my least favorite one, where expanding upon the warehouse fight( which was actually one of my least favorite arcs- didn't like Moka being forced to fight him and the drama that followed afterward, even if the resolution was good, and it introduced Hokuto), except that this time, there is no out for Tsukune like the Exorcist. Which would hopefully lead to Tsukune having to truly control the vampire blood in him

hmm I like the inner - trial possibility
and I'd like to see him controling the vampire blood within him..
well, actually I just love when he's in vampire form... he's so hot
*ahem.. sorry, off-topic *
it'd also be interesting a new character appearing.. a male to compete with tsukune for the girls

Good thing the opening featured Mizore 2nd and Kurumu 3rd. Those must be the basing of character popularity. Also glad the manga doesn't censor that much. If season1 gets licensed I'll buy the dvd's in a heart beat, Capu2 also.

Anime: The gang are now 2nd year students. The 'Oneesama horde' are just 1st years that have read too many human shoujou-ai and want to try it out. I'm just ignoring them...Although, compared to the 3 Fan boys of last season, I don't know which one's worse... FanBoys 3 or the Oneesama Horde.

because at least that way there's room for yuri (even though I personally like as little yuri as possible... but it's better than those guys)

Oh in my #2nd Fan Fic where my character is also a Human, Kyero cuts Tsukune with his Purifing Katana and Restores all of Tsukune's Human Blood turning him back into 100% human
the girls get mad because then he will die from the wounds that was inflicted by the bad guy. But before they try to help Tsukune, Kyero stops them and sends blade slash towards them paralizing them.
Kyero then turns to the bad guy and raises his sword to him "I will be your opponet for a while..." Kyero releases a Strange Youkai energy from him which shocks the girls and the main bad guy because Kyero is a Human as well
"Theres only a select few humans who possess this Power, a Human is nothing more than another Monster.. and now..I will show you, WHy us Humans are kept away from the rest of the Youkai!!"
Thats it for now lol.... basicly in this fan Fic, Humans are like.... ah hell I dont want to say it but I have no other anime I can think off at the momment..... Humans in this Fan Fic are like Saiyans. (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ipOb...eature=related ))

Yes, Ikkitousen... I don't want a repeat of that in this show
and besides, even if your purification were to work, I somehow doubt he'd still remain human for long (Moka can always re-inject him)
and otherwise, the lovely ideas of fanfics... you're lucky I'm not like a friend of mine who would rip your ideas to pieces, since yours keep me... entertained, shall we say

oh and I'm sure his are awesome that the makers would want to make it. Your friend can shove it :P whats wrong with my Fan Fic?
and Moka can't do shit while shes stunned. This is a Fight between Tsukune/Kyero The Humans Vs The Bad Guy
btw in this fan Fic, Kyero doesn't end up with any of the girls, because .. ah I wont spoil it, lets just say there would be a Time Paradox if he tried anything with the girls.

I have always been a huge fan of BISSELL products and I am excited to share my review of the new BISSELL DeepClean Premier Carpet Cleaner. The BISSELL DeepClean Premier is one of the newest additions to the BISSELL cleaning tool lines and, as all the other products I have purchased from the company, I have to say that this is one of my new all-time favorites. When I show you the results from my cleaning adventure, you will see why.
This carpet cleaner is of a moderate size (roughly 25 pounds) and comes with smart attachments for deep cleaning spots or for cleaning your upholstery in your home. The front offers a simple and straight-forward bucket design that has a small spout where you pour 5 ounces of your carpet cleaning solution and then you simply fill the generously sized bladder (1.25 gallons) of the unit to the fill line with water.
The on button is in the middle of the front of the unit and once you start it, you can begin cleaning your carpet with the dual powerbrushes that offer ten cleaning rows that can help loosen and remove the dirt in your carpet. Push the trigger button on the back of the handle and it releases the cleaning solution, then go back and forth over the carpet to suction up the solution where the dirty solution from your carpets will reside in a different compartment in the reservoir of the unit.
I tested the unit in our front room which adjoins the entry of our home. It is where no matter how many times I tell people not to walk through with their shoes on, someone inadvertently forgets something and treks through with shoes on through this room.
I could see immediate results, both on my carpet itself, and in the top of the unit as the dirty water was suctioned in. I had to hold back on my impulse to soak the carpets in cleaning solution once I started seeing all of the dirty solution pull in. The brushes did a great job of loosening dirt.
It has been many months since I have cleaned these carpets, I am embarrassed to admit, but our own carpet cleaner broke and so we haven't made carpet cleaning a priority. Experts recommend though that you deep clean your carpets twice a year (or more!). Let's say it has been (ahem) awhile.
My favorite thing on the unit is the small hand tool that you can use to clean other areas in your home like your upholstered furniture, car interiors, or to freshen up your mattresses. I am going to be a cleaning fool with that handy tool.
After cleaning my front room, this was the sludge that had been on our carpet.
Yes, we have been living in absolute filth. No, we are not squatters.
I feel like we have fresh new carpets in our home and an investment in this tool would cost a fraction of having the professionals out twice a year to freshen up the floors.
Overall, I can find nothing that I did not truly love about this carpet cleaner. Once you get the hang of where all of the buttons and triggers are, it is easy and simple to freshen up the floors in any room of your home.
Thanks to BISSELL & Walmart for giving me the chance to review yet another vacuum. You can find a few other BISSELL reviews here like the BISSELL Versus Cordless Vac and the BISSELL Steam & Sweep Hard Floor Cleaner for a couple of other great examples of two more of my favorite BISSELL products.

PhD economist Marc Faber predicts that the U.S. will launch a war to distract people from the bad economy.
China's largest media outlet – Sohu.com – wrote in October 2008 that the Rand corporation, a leading U.S. military advisor, lobbied the Pentagon for a war to be started with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy:
According to French media, well-known U.S. think tank RAND Corporation … has submitted [to the Pentagon] an evaluation report assessing the wage a war to shift the feasibility of the current economic crisis…
Continued deepening of the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis and economic downturn, developed to a certain extent, is likely to trigger a war in order to achieve the purpose of the crisis passed.
(Google's translation services are crude approximations, but Yihan Dai confirmed the translation of the original).
Is Faber right? Is the Sohu.com report accurate?
I don't know. For example, I won't take the Sohu.com claim very seriously until someone can point to the French media source, so that I can assess it's credibility.
However, "military Keynesianism" – using military spending to stimulate the economy – has been U.S. policy for half a century. And the economist who coined that term said that such a policy always and "inexorably" leads to "an actual war" in order to justify all of the military spending.
Therefore, any studies which disprove the efficacy of war as an economic stimulus -see this and this – are important for balance.
In addition, contrary to popular belief, some writers say that the reason that WWII actually stimulated the U.S. economy was not because of America fighting the war. Specifically, they argue that America's ramped-up production of armaments for the British before the U.S. entered the war was the thing which stimulated our economy.
To try to sort some of this out, I spoke with a PhD professor of economics with a background in international conflict in July 2008 to find out whether war is really good for the economy.
I asked if conventional wisdom that war is good for the economy is true, especially given that all of the spending on the war in Iraq seems to have weakened America's economy (or at least, greatly increased its debt).
The economist explained the seeming paradox:
"War always causes recession. Well, if it is a very short war, then it may stimulate the economy in the short-run. But if there is not a quick victory and it drags on, then wars always put the nation waging war into a recession and hurt its economy."
Given that America has been fighting both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars longer than it fought WWII, the exception obviously doesn't apply.
Can America go beat up some poorly-armed country to get a quick war?
It is more unlikely than many assume. Given that many believe that the U.S. started the Iraq war based on false pretenses, and that the Iraq war was really about oil (see this, this, this, this and this), I am skeptical that many would buy America's stated justifications for another war.
Indeed, the Sohu.com article – even if wholly untrue – proves my point.
In addition, even a war against a small, poorly-armed and resource-poor country could be considered a proxy war. In other words, other heavily-armed countries might fight the U.S. through local proxies, dragging the war out for years, just as the U.S. did with Russia in Afghanistan. America today is not the empire it was even 10 years ago, and – as Afghanistan and Iraq show – America no longer has the financial resources to project force and impose its will world-wide.
The bottom line is that anyone advocating for war to help our economy is mistaken.

Don't Do Drugs, Kids. Seriously.
So there's a brand new cake design in town, and it's, well...
... confusing.
At first I thought it was just some leftover Batman flotsam running wild amongst the New Year's party hats.
Then I thought maybe the "party hats" were supposed to be some kind of psychedelic twin sunsets.
Then I gave up.
You guys kept sending these things in, though, demanding answers - or at least a healthy dose of mockery - which eventually led me to realize that most of you were taking your pictures upside down.
That's when things REALLY started coming together:
See? Now it's so obvious! They're mustachioed garden gnomes in straight jackets! DUH.
Just kidding.
According to my sources, they're actually ice cream cones. Wearing mustaches.
Here's the best example I could find:
(Go ahead, scroll back up and look at those other cakes again. I'll wait.)
(Back with me? Awesome.)
So, in conclusion: Kids, don't do drugs. And kids, don't do drugs and then try to market to hipsters. Seriously. Besides, this whole mustache thing is SO last week, amirite? So you can quit insulting our intelligence, corporate bakery people, and just take your silly little plastic mustaches and twee sense of cuteness and just... just...
[blink blink]
Forget what I just said.
Thanks to Lorah W., Melinda M., Megan R., Kimberly S., Emily F., Colleen K., & Angie C., who know puns make everything better. Even hipster mustaches.

Hurricane Sandy to sideline Obama
After Hurricane Sandy forced changes to Mitt Romney's and Joe Biden's schedules, the White House announced late Saturday night that President Obama will forgo campaigning during the height of the storm.
On Monday, Mr. Obama will attend a previously scheduled campaign event in Orlando, Fla., with former President Bill Clinton and one in Youngstown, Ohio, but, instead of continuing on to events in the battleground states of Virginia Monday night and Colorado on Tuesday, he "will return to the White House to continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy, which is currently forecasted to make landfall along the Eastern seaboard" late Monday, the White House announced in a statement.}
"The President is being regularly updated on the storm and ongoing preparations, and he has directed his team to continue to bring all available resources to bear as state and local partners continue to prepare for the storm," the statement continued.
"FEMA has already deployed teams and has pre-staged resources to potentially affected states and areas ahead of the storm, and FEMA remains in close contact with emergency responders in states up and down the East coast to ensure there are no unmet needs," the statement read. "The President will continue to receive regular briefings on these efforts, and has made clear that he expects his team to continue to lean forward as Hurricane Sandy approaches."
Saturday, Romney's campaign announced that his campaign events scheduled in Virginia for today were cancelled due to the storm's impending effect on the region and, instead, he will join his running mate, Paul Ryan, at Ryan's previously scheduled events in Ohio.
- Hurricane Sandy forces Romney to cancel Va. campaign swing
- Dire forecast as Hurricane Sandy approaches
On Friday, the Obama campaign announced that Vice President Biden would not campaign Saturday in Virginia Beach as planned. Later, following the news that the University of New Hampshire would close for the storm, first lady Michelle Obama cancelled her Tuesday visit to the Durham, N.H., campus.

I have a BFDX TD505 handheld.
I have a bit of a strange issue with them and the code plug and I am hoping you either know the issue or can help me out in some way.
Code plug initially works and I can access the local DMR repeaters.
my code plug can be downloaded from my dropbox account:
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/nytnf05952tzic ... .BFDX?dl=0
I am heard on the talk groups regardless to which repeaters (e.g. tx on GB7HR and heard on GB7NS, say TG235)
I can hear someone if they are on the same repeater, all talk groups.
However if someone responds to me from a different repeater I am NOT able to hear them, but I do see the green light (RX) come on, just nothing heard.
I had noticed the repeater ID setting, which I didn't see in other CPS software, is this the issue, I have tested 1 and also 16777215 which does not seem to make any difference at all, maybe its just not used (red herring)
channel is set up, digital channel, colour code is 3 (HR) repeater slot 1 default address is 235, rx group list is also 235 (I have tried as none but makes no difference. Admit criteria is colour code free, have tried always but this is TX side so not an issue.
Thanks very much for your time and help, if you have any clues I'd be happy to hear from you.

Three's a Crowd
Following the previous mission, you may be at a loss as to what to do. Start by driving around, preferably back towards your safe house on Mohawk Avenue. Once you've driven around for long enough, the game will inform you that you've received your first text message, and it will let you know how to read it. It appears Roman is in some trouble, and he'll ask you to head back to the taxi office. Do that now.
When you arrive, you'll find yourself unsurprised to see that the loan sharks you dodged earlier are once again after your cousin for the money he owes them. They start messing the place up a bit, but when one makes the mistake of holding a knife to Niko, he shows him who's boss. The two Albanians run off, one with a broken arm, and thereafter Roman asks you to go pick up Mallorie and her friend from the subway while he cleans up the mess the loan sharks left.
The route to the subway once you're in Roman's cab will be laid out on the GPS, so just follow the HUD's instructions. You'll swing right from the taxi office's garage, be brought back to Mohawk Avenue, and will ultimately bob and weave your way to the south side of the borough, where these two women will be waiting for you at the Hove Beach Station on Crockett Avenue. Pull up in front of them where the arrow is located, and beep your horn to catch their attention. Once they're in the car, all you have to do is head to Michelle's apartment to drop her off.
Michelle's place is on Mohawk Avenue, but it's a ways north from your safe house. Follow the GPS route to get there easily, heading towards the border of Downtown and Rotterdam Hill. As you drive, the conversation will get mildly awkward (but in a good way!) as Mallorie attempts to set you up with Michelle. It's at this point that you will be introduced to the wide range of relationships and types of relationships Grand Theft Auto IV has for you. The good news? You'll drop Michelle off at her place uneventfully, but she's interested in seeing you again socially and exchanges numbers with you. Nice!
As the girls depart, Niko will let Roman know the good news via cell phone. Commenting on his unfashionable clothes, Roman tells Niko to head to a place on Mohawk (close to the safe house) where some clothing can be purchased. Again, the GPS will tell you where to go, but since you were already northbound on Mohawk Avenue, all you have to do to get to your location is so turn around and head southbound towards the target on your HUD.
Your first clothing purchase in this Russian-run store will be on the house, so if you're going for a whole new wardrobe (which your wallet right now, honestly, will probably not allow), try to purchase the most expensive item on your list first. That way, you maximize the amount of money you don't spend. We bought some camouflage pants and sneakers (we're totally happy with Niko's fat gut sticking out of his sweatshirt/jacket combo). You can purchase whatever you want, but be sure to buy at least your free item, that way you can impress Michelle.
As soon as you've purchased what you want, head outside towards the car. Niko will phone up Roman automatically and let him know of his successful clothes shopping expedition. After the conversation, get in your car and begin to drive around aimlessly once more. This will give Michelle a chance to call you up and ask you out on a date. A huge decision is forthcoming, but in the meantime, we accepted her offer. This will be a great primer on dating girls in Liberty City.
Do you remember where Michelle lives? Well, in case you don't, an "M" will appear on your map. The game will also give you instructions on how to place a "waypoint" on your map. This can only be done one waypoint at a time, but it's a great tool, because it gives you GPS directions to a specific location where the game doesn't automatically provide them. Press Start and head to the Map, and place your waypoint over Michelle's place. Then, drive over there. But before you reach the arrow that will begin the date, Roman calls. It appears he's in trouble and needs your help. This provides the first of what will be many choices in the game for you to make. Will you go on your date, or will you help your cousin? As far as we see it, the Albanians are after him because he's a deadbeat with their money. The date it is! Keep in mind that you can go help your cousin instead of going on the date, but since Michelle won't pick up her phone, you won't be able to cancel. Standing her up will negatively affect your relationship with her in a major way. But leaving Roman on his own with the Albanians will begin to skew your relationship with him. Choices, choices!

President: Croatia has no doubts about EU
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — President Ivo Josipovic says Croatia has no second thoughts about joining the European Union despite the bloc's economic crisis.
He said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday that after 10 years of membership negotiations, "We did not have the opportunity to choose the time" of the July 1 entry.
Josipovic also says that Croatia wants to help its Balkan neighbors become EU members, thus bringing definitive reconciliation to the once war-torn region.
Croatia, which only some 20 years ago was ravaged by the war, will on Monday become the 28th EU member. It is only the second of the six former Yugoslav states to join the bloc, after Slovenia in 2004.
Josipovic says that "being together in the EU means that any further conflict is senseless."

Oscar would like to ask you out on a date.
While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may seem like a highly restrictive group — and it is, if you want to win one of those golden statuettes — the organization is expanding its outreach to regular moviegoers by announcing a summer-long series of outdoor movies.
"Oscars Outdoors" will showcase films on Fridays and Saturdays on a 40-by-20 foot screen in a park the organization built in the heart of Hollywood specifically for the sake of showing movies under the stars. The public is welcome, and the Academy is especially hopeful tourists will take advantage of it.
"The idea is to tie this in to the world, to let people know they can come here and see movies," said Academy president Tom Sherak (pictured). "I'm telling you — come. Come bring your blankets, come bring your beach chairs, and come just enjoy two hours of getting away from those rigors of life. Those nights here are beautiful in the summertime."
The Academy spent $2 million building the park and the projection setup, Sherak said, and purchased the land for about $50 million several years ago with hopes of building a massive movie museum. With those plans now moving forward in a different location, they decided to make use of the land rather than let it lie fallow.
"The world knows all about the Oscars, but today we're going to talk a little about the other 364 days of the year," said Randy Haberkamp, managing director of programming, education and preservation for the Academy. "For a movie theater, of course, this is literally outside the box."
He said the schedule was designed so that Fridays were more of a grown-up night and Saturdays were more for families.
An invitation-only presentation of Field of Dreams will kick things off May 19. After that, the gates swing up for the hoi polloi.
Here's their summer line-up:
Friday, June 15: Casablanca
Saturday, June 16: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Friday, June 22: Raising Arizona
Saturday, June 23: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Friday, June 29: A Star is Born (1937)
Saturday, June 30: The Goonies
Friday, July 6: Shane
Saturday, July 7: The Nutty Professor (1996)
Friday, July 13: TBD
Saturday, July 14: The Princess Bride
Friday, July 20: Pillow Talk
Saturday, July 21: The Karate Kid (1984)
Friday, July 27: Dreamgirls
Saturday, July 28: The Dark Crystal
Friday, Aug. 3: North By Northwest
Saturday, Aug.4: Steamboat Bill, Jr.
Friday, Aug. 10: Young Frankenstein
Saturday, Aug. 11: Back to the Future
Friday, Aug. 17: Audience Choice (vote on http://www.oscars.org/outdoors)
Saturday, Aug. 18: The Wizard of Oz (sing-along)
About 500 people will fit in the park, and (Tickets are $5, kids under 10 are free, and students and Academy members get in for $3.) The Location is 1341 Vine Street, Hollywood, CA.
Movies will begin just after sundown, for obvious reasons. Los Angeles food trucks will serve as a kind of rolling concession stand at the venue, parking near the grassy theater to feed the crowd, and some screenings may have special appearances by the stars from the movie, though those haven't been announced yet.
Haberkamp also revealed some of the Academy's other public events for 2012 — indoor ones, separate from the outdoor program. These include a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Universal Pictures that will feature screenings of their classic horror films, a presentation of "the science of superheroes," and a six-week screening series called "The Last 70mm Film Festival," which will show titles such as Lawrence of Arabia in their original, epic-sized format. He also said the Academy was increasing its film preservation efforts through its Film-to-Film program, creating new archival prints from movies with at-risk masters.

Alaska – Denali Regional Park
Alaska during the peak of fall colour. Such an incredible place. The tundra throughout Denali National Park and the surrounds was incredibly vibrant.
I remember this magic afternoon vividly…. The colour, the deafening silence inbetween beavers breaking the surface of the ponds, the drizzle on my neck, and the taste of fresh blueberries picked straight from the ground cover.
The Work of Winter
Back from a great couple of weeks in New Zealand.
This image is from one of the first couple of frosty mornings at the start of the trip. As the morning sky was starting to light up I settled on this composition with the frozen pond and frost covered trees.
I hope everyone is well
location, location, location
The storms that smashed the South West of Western Australia over the weekend brought wild, windy and wet conditions. The combination of strong winds, heavy rain and a high tide presented shooting possibilities that don't come around too often.
Although this image was shot during fierce stormy conditions, the use of a long shutter speed (60 seconds) has resulted in a still, somewhat silent image.
I had visualized this image for a number of years now so it's good to finally put it in to pixels.

Perth. Western Australia
In Between
I had fun converting this image to Black and White. The original colour version had quiet subdued blues and greens which I initially warmed to but I couldn't help but go for a higher contrast black and white treatment in the end.
This is 2 images stitched together vertically with the Canon 45mm tilt shift.

Delving back into some images from my time in the Canadian Rockies.
The light show on this particular morning was extremely intense. The peaks lit up a and a small rainbow briefly appeared. It was a mad rush to get to this nearby location and find a composition I was pleased with before the show was over!

What do people in Wisconsin like? Yup, the Packers. And what do people in Wisconsin also like? Yup, alcohol.
So, reports The Arizona Republic, three fat ex-Packers turned this into a viable business idea a few years too late:
From that, Three Fat Guys wine was created, "a flavorful collaboration of life, love and laughs — just like us," according to the label.
"We're not in it to retire or get rich," Daryn Colledge said. "We're in it to enjoy it."
So far, so good.
The Three Fat Guys — Colledge, Tony Moll and Jason Spitz — were all drafted by the Packers in 2006. They are all offensive lineman, and together they weigh almost 1,000 pounds.
They've all moved on to other teams now: Colledge signed with the Cardinals last year. Spitz is with Jacksonville and Moll joined the Chargers a year ago.
But they are still together as friends and business partners, and Three Fat Guys soon will come out with its third vintage of Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon.
What a success story in our nation's ravaged economic climate—the stuff now wholesales for $28 a bottle. The fat guys are becoming fat cats.

It's Valentine's Day! And nothing says that like chocolate teeth.
As noted on Togetter, a dental student named Matsumoto created chocolate-shaped chompers, with dark chocolate for the gums and white chocolate for the teeth.
Today, Matsumoto planned to bring the Valentine's Day chocolate to dental school for everyone to eat.
The image of the sweet teeth impressions have been retweeted over 27,000 times.
Earlier today, Matsumoto tweeted out another image (below), saying his teacher spotted the chocolate, confiscated it, and then graded it, humorously deducting points for things like air bubbles being mixed into the chocolate teeth as well as a whopping minus twenty points for "insufficient training." Funny teacher!
Matsumoto and his classmates ate the chocolate teeth after carving them up with a very large knife.
Just as long as they remembered to brush afterwards.

Hi Everyone,
I am just looking at options for a rear disk brake conversion for the PPC Nova.
I saw the earlier thread on this subject (~2013)
... which questioned the quality of the EMPI rear disk kit, but I know of at least 2 Novas which currently have them. Here is what I am talking about:
The standard EMPI kit has a pressed steel bracket (between hub and caliper) the Delux kit has a beefier looking cast bracket.
One thing I don't like about the EMPI kit is the single pot 'floating' caliper, it seems a bit naff, although maybe its needed to facilitate the handbrake mechanism?
If you currently use the EMPI kit I'd be interested to know your opinion.
I heard about a similar Red9 rear disk conversion, however it isn't on their website and they couldn't be bothered to respond to my email asking about it.
Does the EMPI kit work well for you? Does anyone have the Red9 kit?
What other options are out there for a rear disk conversion?

Southern Fried Chickenplucker, I was doing a web search for a photo of a scrambled dog. I found the photo you took at the Cordele Pool Hall. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/m708043-print.aspx You take some good pictures. I wish that you would do some reviews. You get to some places in Georgia that are not well covered on Roadfood. I would imagine that buffetbuster would be happy to work with you on getting your reviews approved if you could do some. Hint, hint. Ha!
chickenplucker Buffetbuster, Thanks for adding my 1st review to the site. Hopefully I can add to it soon. I travel through Cordele quite a bit so a review will be coming soon..

|Photo C
In general I am fan of "re-reading" documents--letters, diaries or in this case photos--to gain additional insight into the subject in hand. A letter I read a year or two ago may reveal more information today than it did before, particularly if I've done additional research on the subject in the interim. Context is everything. If I learn more about the subject or the context of the letter from current research, it makes sense that the same letter if read again may reveal new information with a fresh reading. This is also true for photos.
For clarity sake I've identified the photos in this post as Photo C and Photo D, so as not to confuse them with Photo A and Photo B in my previous post. Take a look a Photo C above. As in the previous post Photo C is one of a number of photos I've been able to figure out are from family and acquaintances in Kepno, Poland. You can see another photo of the children without their parents here. Like the photo I posted for my post Christmas in Poland, 1929 and the photograph of the children, the photographer's stamp on the back of Photo C indicates the photo was taken by the same photographer (Zaklad Fotograficzny / Jan Nawrocki / Kepno, Wlkp. Warszawska 23). Different families, but the same photographer. Hmm. Might there be a connection? It could be as simple as there was only one photographer in Kepno during that time period. It also could mean different branches of the same family used the same photographer or they lived near that particular photographer.
Take another look at Photo B in my original post, More Than Meets The Eye. Now look at Photo D below. Obviously it's the same building, but this time the photo shows the building under construction. We know when it was built, because you can see the date on the building at the top. 1933. I mentioned this in my previous post. I also speculated that the building my have been built by someone in the Walkowski family. See the initials J.W.? Now zoom in on the men on the scaffolding in Photo D. When I first looked at this photo I noticed the men in the white construction outfits. I didn't really pay attention to the man who is second on the right. It's the same man who is part of the family in Photo C!
|Photo D
Jozef Walkowski / Kepno / Hotel Centralny / ul. Sienkiewicza 11 (or 77) / Polska. Wow! (Note to Self: Do not ignore seemingly insignificant scraps of paper!) I looked for information on Hotel Centralny and ulica (street) Sienkiewicza on the Internet. No luck on Hotel Centralny, but you can see a picture of ul. Sienkiewicza here and here. Could the building shown in Photo D be Hotel Centralny? Hotel Centralny also might be where the Jozef Walkowski family was living while the building in Photo D was being built. Or it could be another property owned by the Walkowski family.
What have we learned? Tomasz Walkowski and Jozef Walkowski might be brothers. Jozef might be the man in Photo D. If you look at Tomasz who appears in my post, Christmas in Poland, 1929 you'll note the resemblance between the men. Am I a 100% sure Jozef is the man in Photo D and that Tomasz and Jozef were brothers? No. Am I maybe 95% sure? Yep. Until I get the supporting documentary evidence I can't be a 100% sure, but still it's not bad for a day's work.
Tuesday's Tip: Review your photographs periodically, and if you have a group of photos or materials that seem to be related in some way make sure you view them together and consider the group as a whole. To quote Aristotle, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to make my daughter's preschool teachers (and director) a little gift. One of the many pages I bookmarked for future reference in my copy of 350 Cards & Gifts, was the "Teacher Gift Card Set" on page 10. I just loved the way the cards resembled notebook paper; 3-hole punched and all. I did vary mine a bit by not a single, large, paper-pieced apple, but instead creating my own layered embellishment.
I started by created the lined notebook paper and text in InDesign. After taking it to be printed at my local copy shop, I came home and cut them all down to size, so all edges bled. Next came cutting and punching everything out for the 40 focal points. I used my Fiskars An Apple A Day punch on patterned red paper, brown cardstock and green cardstock. Thank goodness for my Xyron because adhering all of these pieces together with only my ATG would have been a bear! (see picture above for proof)
(Go Haley Reinhart & Scotty McCreery), I assembled the three personalized sets.
Jillibean Soup Red Sugar patterned paper.
clear card box, I altered an RSVP pen to match the sets. It took me a bit to figure out the perfect cutting dimensions, but eventually I could slip the paper in the barrel and have it look decent.
Peach Wave behind the knot.

(printable is up now, click HERE) For those of you who would like it personalized with a teacher's name, I will have a low-cost personalization option as well.

Lucic scores twice to power Bruins past Blue Jacketsby Matt Kalman
BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins pride themselves on being a near-perfect balance of skill and physicality. In their past two games, Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara have found ways to flaunt those two attributes.
Lucic scored twice to help Boston defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 at TD Garden on Saturday night. He scored a first-period power-play goal, then fought Blue Jackets defenseman Dalton Prout in the second period.
Lucic capped his big night with a goal at 2:15 of the third period to put the Bruins (18-7-2) ahead 3-0.
Chara recorded a Gordie Howe Hat Trick on Friday in a win against the New York Rangers. At first glance, Lucic appeared to get the assist he needed for his own Gordie Howe Hat Trick when Jarome Iginla took a swing at Lucic's shot early in the third period, but Iginla didn't touch the puck and Lucic was credited with his second goal of the night.
"It would've been nice to get the Gordie, especially after [Chara] got it yesterday," said Lucic, who leads the Bruins with 11 goals. "But you're not going to complain with a goal over an assist. Like I said, it was just one of those nights where kind of both goals I had the puck luck on my side and they ended up being big goals."
The Bruins are 6-1-1 in their past eight games. One game after limiting the Rangers to 19 shots on goal, the Bruins surrendered 14 to Columbus.
"Every time we limit shots, it's about having good gaps, interrupting their flow, pressuring them early so they can't really enter the zone with possession," Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg said. "And for the most part, we've done that the last few games. And it's all about being more consistent and getting better."
Ryan Johansen scored a power-play goal for Columbus (10-14-3) at 6:16 of the third period to spoil Chad Johnson's shutout bid and cut the lead to 3-1.
Johnson stopped 13 of 14 shots. Columbus goalie Curtis McElhinney finished with 33 saves on 36 shots.
"No, not enough [shots] and not enough quality ones either," Columbus forward RJ Umberger said. "We've got to find a way to generate more. Probably the two things we talked about the most (was) more shots, get 10 a period, and stay disciplined, no penalties, and it didn't seem like we executed either one."
The Blue Jackets were shorthanded six times and allowed one Boston power-play goal.
Patrice Bergeron carried over his hot hand from the Bruins' win Friday against the Rangers, when he snapped an eight-game goalless drought, by scoring the first goal against the Blue Jackets. The center's wrist shot from the right wall eluded McElhinney, who was screened by Loui Eriksson, and settled inside the far post at 9:02.
Twenty-two seconds into the Bruins' first power play, they doubled their lead. Lucic tipped a Torey Krug slap shot past McElhinney at 14:58 of the first period.
After they limited the Rangers to 11 shots during the second and third periods Friday, the Bruins' stinginess continued against Columbus on Saturday, when they carried a 9-2 shots advantage after the first period.
The Bruins outshot the Blue Jackets 16-7 in the second period. But neither team found the back of the net and Boston still led 2-0 heading to the third period.
"We were two steps behind. They were bigger, they were stronger, they were faster," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "I think every aspect of the game, if you look at it, they were better than us. We couldn't get the puck stopped in our own zone, and it was too easy in the offensive zone -- the ability to just wash us out of the play and get the puck, and then get it back into our zone."
It was a strange week for the Bruins, as they emerged 3-1-0 despite losing 6-1 on the road against the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. In addition to their wins against the Blue Jackets and Rangers, the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins also beat the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday.
"We talked about after the Detroit game, about turning this into a positive week," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "When you take a bad loss, you turn it into a positive thing. And a positive thing is we won three out of four games this week, and that's good. I like the way we've played our last two games, and we've got a bit of a break here, so it's a good time to have that kind of a performance from your team in the last two days. And I liked the way we played tonight again."
The Bruins are off until they visit the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. Columbus will host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
The Bruins have won their past six meetings with the Blue Jackets, including all three games this season. Boston and Columbus are done with their season series.

Apollo Justice Is a Pirate Now
Ace Attorney fans were pleased to hear that the most recent installment in the series, Ace Attorney 5, was going to star the iconic series protagonist, Phoenix Wright. Phoenix was reduced to hobo status in Ace Attorney 4, in which he was stripped of his legal license, forcing him to act as a mentor to the series' new protagonist, Apollo Justice. However, the end of Ace Attorney 4 saw Phoenix re-instated and so we will see him taking a stand once again in Ace Attorney 5. But what happened to Apollo?
According to Kotaku, he has apparently become a pirate. New artwork for Ace Attorney 5 has shown up in a recent issue of Famitsu, revealing Apollo Justice to be a prominent character in the game. Unfortunately, he seems a bit worse for wear. First of all, he is missing an eye!
A bandage is wrapped around his head, covering his right eye and extending behind him into iconic badass anime headband tails. His arms are also completely bandaged up all the way to his fingertips, though he is still wearing his iconic bracelet from Ace Attorney 4. Finally, he is now wearing a blue overcoat with a ludicrously huge collar in the physics-defying way that only anime characters can: draped over his shoulders, blowing in the wind, and yet somehow still staying on his body.
What could have possibly happened to Apollo to warrant all of these bandages? Kotaku jests that Apollo appears to be some sort of pirate lawyer, but considering that Phoenix Wright has cross examined a ghost, a parrot, and a radio in the past, that doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
Ace Attorney 5 is scheduled to release for the 3DS in Japanese territories sometime later this year. Though an American release has been confirmed, an official American release date has not yet been given.
What do you think of Apollo's new look? Let us know in the comments!

1992 Toyota Pickup - Tailor Made
A Cut Above The Rest
In the winter of 2009, Andy Steider began trying to dig himself out of a rut. His 1992 Toyota Pickup had already been cut and modified, but he was left unsatisfied with where things were heading. "Ordinary" was a word he was desperately looking to move far away from, and in order to do that he was willing to take drastic measures.
Those measures included turning his standard-cab truck into a four-doored model unlike any other out there. In Andy's words, "I wanted my truck to be unique, and with my growing family, I figured why finish my truck as it was if all of us couldn't enjoy it?" With that reasoning in mind, he started looking for good reference material to help physically sculpt the image in his head. "I had seen this truck called Long Haul on the cover of Mini Truckin' magazine," he explains. "It was a standard-cab S-10 mixed with a Blazer that turned out to be an awesome four-door dualie pickup. I did some research and contacted owner Jason Badley, who turned out to be a great resource and inspiration. I learned he was paralyzed, and I was even more astonished at the amount of modifications he was able to make to his truck from a wheelchair. After hearing this, I knew there was no going back." And so the hunt for a donor vehicle began -- in this case a Toyota 4Runner would be the closest match for the project. Andy sifted through countless Internet junkyard ads (Craigslist) and finally found one he ended up scoring dirt cheap. The puzzle pieces were now all in front of him.
"I wanted my truck to be unique - Andy Steider"
But unlike the luxury of having a puzzle box picture to offer up hints, Andy was on his own, making it up as he went. Luckily, there was someone else out there who had undertaken a very similar build. Kyle Dimetroff of Guilty By Design had successfully toyed with the four-door Toyota idea in the past and gave Andy a few golden pieces of advice before the cutting commenced. "After hearing Kyle's input, myself, along with a solid group of guys, started sanding the standard cab down, measuring, marking, and finally reaching for the sawzall," Andy says. A full three weeks of slicing, welding, and grinding was put into crafting the new quad cab, but to make it compatible with the frame, the chassis was stretched 36½ inches. "I found the straightest part of the frame and cut it in half. After measuring it about 35 times, I welded it all up. It was a perfect fit."
With the initial phases taking shape just as Andy had planned, he searched for a shop in Idaho capable of helping with the rear doors, new roof skin, sheetmetal bed, and body drop. Wicked Willett Customs took the job and skillfully executed each task. "Once they were done with their share, my friend Shane and I graphed in 1997 Suburban rear doorjambs and modified the stock Toyota window regulators. The rear glass was by far my biggest fear, but it ended up being the easiest part of the build." With the amount of raw work now in front of him, Andy once again looked to the cover of Mini Truckin' for guidance. "I had seen a very clean black and purple Toyota built by Extreme Audio and Kustoms in California," he says. "I really liked the work Joel Sadenwasser's shop put into that truck, so I arranged for my Toyota to be relocated there for the remainder of the build. They handled what seemed would be a lifetime worth of bodywork, paint, and interior shaping. Besides cell phone pictures Joel would send me, I didn't see my truck for exactly a year after I dropped it off."
When Andy was reunited with his truck, it truly was a time for celebration. Not only did he get to see his radical project in its completion, but it was just days before leaving for SEMA. With a few last-minute kinks worked out before hitting the road to Sin City, it was on its way for the grandest of unveilings. "This was a huge dream to achieve for me, and I have my wife and family, and supportive, talented friends to thank for it."

I need to replace my deck fills. The top of my deck fill hole is 2" in diameter, but the threaded part is narrower (as is shown in the picture here).However, your page does not state the top diameter, which I need to know.
These are just the Deck Fill Caps - is that what you are looking for? They are made for the Sea-Dog 1.5" deck fill.
Here is a Technical Drawing of the fitting.Click on Additional Specs to see the measurements.
Generally speaking, you should put the cap on your fill from the same manufacture as your fill. If you had a metal cap - then your replacement should also be metal.
Ultimately, you need to know the threads of your cap.For example, Perko and Sea-Dog use different size caps.
The cover for my port side (rear) deck stowage locker on my 1996 201 stratos XL (OMC) flew off and is now in the bottom of the Everglades.Just wondering if you guys could locate a replacement, or at least steer me in the right direction. THX.
You will need to contact a Stratos dealer for that item.

The Vol State Science and Math Expo explores the "Human Element" this year with a full-size "Operation Man" and Lego engineering. It's the twelfth year for the annual event, which brings in hundreds of kids and parents to explore science. There will be more than fifty demonstrations and hands-on activities covering subjects from chemistry and biology to environmental science and astronomy. The Expo is designed for kids from kindergarten through middle school. The activities are put together by Vol State Science and Math students, who gain a new perspective on science and math education.
"This year's theme focuses on the science and math of the human body," said event co-organizer Glenn McCombs. "Our Vol State students design the activities for the secondary school students and their parents and grandparents to enjoy. Our students shine every year and we anticipate their creativity and willingness to engage the community will be outstanding once again."
Activities this year include many returning favorites: liquid nitrogen balloon dipping, telescope viewing with the Cumberland Astronomical Society, wildlife rehabilitation and animals from Walden's Puddle, and the always popular egg drop contest.
The Vol State Science and Math Expo will be held on Thursday, April 4 from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. It will take place in and around the Wallace Building on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. The event is free and open to everyone. For more information call 615-230-3261.

Commentary by Karen Hosler
Is it just me, or was there actually a time when ethanol was the great, green hope?
Didnt Al Gore tell us it would fight global warming through cleaner motor vehicle emissions? Didnt George W. Bush promise this home-grown grain byproduct would reduce U.S. dependence on expensive foreign oil?
And even though they had grave misgivings, didnt the folks at the tri-state Chesapeake Bay Commission conclude they had to embrace this political reality and make the best of it?
I may have been the only dope who fell for any of this, but the Senate has set me straight. In perhaps the single worthwhile step taken recently by what used to be called the worlds most deliberative body, a 72 to 27 majority of senators signaled last month that they are ready to end $6 billion in annual subsidies to the ethanol blenders and refiners.
When senators return to Washington in September tanned, rested and ready voters should demand they follow through with a stake to the heart of this scam. Lets whack off the tariff on imported ethanol while were about it.
At best, ethanol enthusiasm has always been muted in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Theres lots of corn grown here, and corns been the main stock for making ethanol. But the farms are small, not suited to the factory-style production of the Midwest. Plus, the Delmarva poultry industry provides a strong market for local corn.
As further evidence that corn-based ethanol is a bad local investment, the Bay Commission noted in a 2007 report that the Bay watershed is the only major corn-producing region in the country without an ethanol plant. The two plants that opened since then in central Pennsylvania and Hopewell, Va., have now gone belly up. Federal subsidies didnt save them.
Forget the lack of benefits, though. Encouraging more local acreage to be planted in corn presents very real dangers to the Chesapeake Bay.
Worst among them would be the loss of forests that now cover nearly 60 percent of the bay watersheds 64,000 square miles and contribute far fewer pollutants than any other land use, and the loss of buffer zones near streams.
Encouraging more corn production a shift from soybeans and haylands is also a threat to the bay. Corn requires more fertilizer, and thus sends more polluting nitrogen into the waterways. Diligent use of practices to reduce the runoff can help a lot. But those measures take time and money and even today, 80 percent of the cropland in the Chesapeake watershed is not getting the careful treatment it needs, according to a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study. And the budget calamity in Washington, D.C. suggests that there are likely lean days ahead for help from federal grants even if ethanol subsidies get the heave-ho.
And then theres the punch line: Corn-based ethanol as an environmental benefit was all a hoax from the beginning. It doesnt reduce greenhouse gases,; it raises the price of corn used for food; it cant survive without subsidies; and it never represented a long-term source of transportation fuel.
Mr. Global Warming, Al Gore, admitted as much at a conference in Athens last year when he called his support for corn-based ethanol a mistake. He said he was driven by his desire to curry support with the farm lobby in the early Midwest primary states when he was preparing a presidential run.
George H.W. Bush got so frustrated with Gore during the 1992 campaign that he called him Ozone Man.
In fairness, Gore appears to have been right about mans contribution to global warming. Its already upon us. But President Obama has come up with a much better approach than ethanol for dealing with greenhouses gases: He wants tougher fuel efficiency standards for buses and light trucks.
Its the old conservation approach: If we can just learn how to make better use of the energy resources we have, we wont be quite so desperate for magic elixirs.
