McALLEN (KRLD) — The area from the Rio Grande Valley to Laredo has become 'ground zero' for the flood illegal immigration into Texas.
In an effort to combat the recent flood of immigrants, Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst and Speaker Joe Straus authorized the Texas Department of Public Safety to fund a surge at the border with additional personnel at $1.3 milion per week.
DPS did a similar surge last year called "Operation Strong Safety", which former State Rep. Aaron Pena (R-McAllen) says created a public out-cry among many residents in his area.
"There was a large out-cry from the community because, quite frankly, right here on the border we live with a number of people who are – to be blunt – not citizens. And this has been the way of life down here for hundreds of years," says Pena. " Last time they initiated a surge, they flooded the area with more personnel. They had setup check points in various places in the Valley that were somewhat controversial because we have a number of families where the kids are American, but the parents are not Americans and so a lot of people avoided the roads."
He says that resulted in creating what many perceived as a "police state" and created ghost towns along the Rio Grande Valley.
"A good percentage of schools were empty because parents were not taking their kids to school, people were missing work."
But despite how controversial the previous surge was, Lt. Governor Dewhurst says it was effective.
"Last year DPS conducted Operation Strong Safety and achieved astounding results. Crime rates related to drugs, cartels, transnational gangs, and illegal border activity plummeted because of the resources we allocated to stop illegal entry at the border. It's time to make this type of presence on the border permanent."
And State Rep. Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) agrees.
"Securing the border is absolutely critical, and never before have we ever had so many people boldly coming across," says Riddle. "They cross the border, sit down and just wait for border patrol to pick them up."
The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol says it has apprehended more illegal immigrants in the Rio Grande Valley in the first eight months of the current federal fiscal year (over 160,000) than it did for all of fiscal year 2013 (154,453).
In May 2014 alone, USCBP reported apprehending more than 1,100 illegal immigrants per day in the Rio Grande Valley. This year, like last year, more than half of the individuals apprehended at the Texas-Mexico border by USCBP are from countries other than Mexico. Additionally, 34,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been apprehended in Texas so far this year, with estimates that number will reach 90,000 by the end of the fiscal year.
Ultimately Pena hopes that DPS can secure the border without inciting panic.
"Word of mouth spread fairly fast," he says. "I think this time they will be respective of the community and not bring it to a stand still."

philosophy of biology
The third school, which has come to dominate contemporary systematics, is based on work by the German zoologist Willi Hennig (1913–76). Known as
phylogenetic taxonomy, or cladism, this approach infers shared ancestry on the basis of uniquely shared historical (or derived) characteristics, called "synapomorphies." Suppose, for example, that there is an original species marked...
Both the theory and the practice of cladism raise a number of important philosophical issues (indeed, scientists explicitly turn to philosophy more frequently in this field than in any other in biology). At the practical level, how does one identify synapomorphies? Who is to say what is an original ancestral character and what a derived character? Traditional methods require one to turn to...

Well today we have slowed to the point of almost unusable.
Geez.....and I'm the one who needs a new computer! I wish all of you having difficulties better luck. My toy is 13 years old.
Like I posted upthread, we're sorry about the slowness some of you are experiencing, but there's nothing we can do about it. If you'd like to PM TVG_Frey with specifics about what you are doing when it slows down, which thread you are in, your browser and version. Beyond that, posting in this thread doesn't really do anything. We're aware of the problem. If TVG can't pinpoint what's causing it (and there seems to be no reason for the slowdown, unless it is the aforementioned spam filters, which aren't going anywhere), they can't fix it.
Because it's not displaying this problem for everyone, it's likely something to do with browser settings or maybe, as we experienced previously, virus software settings. We really don't know. The servers are running exactly as they should and Frey can't duplicate the problem, other than noticing a slight slowdown when the spam filters are on.
Since this is no longer a problem thread I'd like to point out that there is a big opportunity for someone to speed the site up.
What browser/virus software do you use?
This is a problem thread, but Frey can't do much without specifics.
It is slow whether I use IE or Firefox or Safari on my IPhone. And this is the only site I experience this on.
Like I posted upthread, TVG can't do anything unless they have more specifics. You can PM TVG_Frey to tell him what version of browsers you're using, what specifically you are doing when the slow-down happens, etc. If he can't duplicate the result, he can't figure out what's causing so he can fix it. This is still a thread to report problems, but no one can fix these problems without more information. Just complaining without more data doesn't help.
Also like I posted upthread, some of the slow-down may be connected with the spam program we use (although we've been using it for quite some time and the slow down has been much more recent) and that just won't be going anywhere.
Sometimes when I try to come on this site, I get some Adobe installer popup. Or I get redirected to this:

Yevgeny Platov started to skate when he was 7-years-old and at the junior level skated with Yelena Krykanova, with whom he won the World Junior ice dancing titles in 1984-86. As a senior, Platov at first skated with Larisa Fedorinova and they were sixth at the 1989 World Championships, but then Fedorinova retired from sports and Platov teamed up with [Pasha Grishchuk], together becoming the world's best ice dancers during the 90s. The pair made their international début in 1990, placing fifth at both the World and European Championships and next year they were fourth at the Worlds and fifth at the Europeans. Their first podium success came in 1992, when they won bronzes at both the World and European Championships, which they bettered to silvers in next year.

Grishchuk and Platov retired from amateur competition after the 1998 Winter Olympics and later skated together in shows until summer of 1998, when Platov decided to skate with their former rival [Maiya Usova], while Grishchuk skated with [Sasha Zhulin]. From 2002-04 Platov coached with Usova at the International Skating Center of Connecticut in Simsbury, Connecticut, where they helped coach the 2006 Olympic champion [Shizuka Arakawa] to her only world title in 2004.

Bif's and bird tips / technique with MF long lenses. Long and boring
MVDH wrote:
I recently got interested in bird photography and found this excelent topic hidden somewhere way down in the forum. A very usefull and interesting read which should be placed on top of the forum again IMHO.
Much respect for your work and style of photgraphy Danny!
One question to Danny: If I understand correctly you mainly shoot manual focus lenses. Is there a specific reason why you prefer to do your bird photography the "hard way" with a tiny NEX camera and long manual focus lenses? Why don't you use lenses with DSLR camera that has the modern very fast AF features?
Reason I ask: currently I have a NEX6 and SEL18200 as my longest lens and am looking at my best options to get me (beginner) into bird photography. I am considering getting a dedicated DSLR for like Sony a77-II+70-400-II or Canon 7D+100-400-II lens mainly because I read so little positive things of long lenses on mirrorless NEX/A6000 camera's...
Heck that is an old post
The DSLR is the way to go for sure. I've never pretended any other way. Fast PDAF is the way to go. At the moment we are seeing some amazing shots from the likes of a Nikon D7100, Canon 7D or the MKII version with the Tamron 150-600. If I was into AF that's the way I would go. APS-C suits me with the crop factor, for me its the perfect balance. For others it has to be FF and I shoot with a few of them and there is no way you can knock what they take.
The most expensive part of a bird system as you know, is the lenses. That Sigma is one hack of a lens for the cost, its a bargain
I love the challenge and feel of MF. Hey i'm getting old, LOL. So they are the main reasons. The other reason is the cost of course. I couldn't afford new 300 F/2.8L, 500 F/4L and the 800 F/5.6L. So that's also a large part of it. I guess I'm stubborn and like to be in total control of the shot at the end of the day. There's not many of us stubborn old buggas around now days.
With internal focus long lenses and the balance of the Canon's along with the IQ, its not too bad. I've also bought an Oly E-M10 m4/3 to work alongside the NEX-7 and that was bought simply for the extra crop factor when needed. So far its working out .....
However, if I could just have one camera it would be the NEX-7 or an A6000 when using MF lenses. The focus peaking is superb in the Sony's, the Oly focus peaking is terrible to be honest.
The issue with Sony mirrorless is the lack of long decent primes and zooms. Justin does wonders with the A6000 and the 55-210 with an add on TC on the front. Again though, he would be one of the first to recommend a DSLR for birds and he does use a Sony DSLR as well. Both of use know and see the benefits of a DSLR and long lenses compared to mirrorless.
All the best and thanks, think carefully before you sink money into a system. Canon and Nikon is where I would head for fast AF and lenses Nice to see you doing the homework.

Adrian Belew (born Robert Steven Belew, December 23, 1949, in Covington, Kentucky) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. He is perhaps best known for his work as a member of the progressive rock group King Crimson (which he has fronted since 1981) and for his unusual impressionistic approach to guitar playing (involving arresting, yet frequently melodic sounds more akin to animals and machines than to standard instrumental tones).
Widely recognized as an "incredibly versatile player", Belew has released nearly twenty solo albums for Island Records and Atlantic Records which blend Beatles-inspired pop-rock with more experimental fare. His 2005 single "Beat Box Guitar" was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category. In addition to being a member of King Crimson, he is also in the more straightforward pop band The Bears and fronted his own band, "Gaga", in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He has worked extensively as a session and touring musician, most famously with Talking Heads, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, and Nine Inch Nails.
Belew has recently moved into instrument design, collaborating with Parker Guitars to help design his own Parker Fly signature guitar. This guitar is noticeably different from the standard design, containing advanced electronics such as a sustainer pickup and a Line 6 Variax guitar modelling system. It is also MIDI-capable, allowing it to be used with any synthesizer with MIDI connectivity.

The Natural History
Midwest, before they ultimately signed with the Brooklyn-based StarTime International, the strong indie label who had also signed the Walkmen, Brendon Benson and French Kicks. They began recording with Greg Talenfeld (he'd worked with Pavement, Beck and Jonathan Fire*eater, in addition to their aforementioned labelmates) at his Stonehouse studio in Nyack, NY. The result was a five song, self-titled EP, which was released by StarTime in July 2002. A slew of shows with the likes of Enon, Spoon and Oranges Band consumed the band for the rest of the year, however the Tepper brothers found time to record their proper studio full-length. Beat Beat was slated for a spring 2003 release. ~ Bryan Thomas

Hey peeps, Was having a conversation with my friend last night who said that i have high miles on mines but i don't think i do. Most MK4 golf's i went to see had at least 100k on the clock. Mines is a 1998 on a R plate and had 62k when i got it in August 2006 and now has 82k. Is this on average? What miles does everyone else have?
Average milage per year is 10 - 12 k so if yours is a 98 thats 9 yrs so i would say 90-108 k is average. So i would say your doing well with just 82k! My 98 A3 has 95k. IMO milage isnt an issue with todays cars, if they are maintained properly they will last a very long time! My dad used to tell me that with cars when he was a lad you would have something falling off it or breaking every week, so i guess 30 yrs ago milage was an issue!
Does he mean high mileage per year or a high total mileage. 12,000 per year is normally the figure considered average. However I am very much of the opinion that condition is a far better indication of the quality of the car. I've seen cars with less than 10,000 on the clock in appalling condition and others with over 150,000 that still looked fresh. In addition some people have a slightly warped view of what is a high number of total miles on a car. Over about 30,000 to them the car has 'loads' of miles and will 'fall apart'. Not true for most modern cars - especially diesels.
I agree with the rest of the lads on this one, my 1998 A3 1.8T has just turned 70k and is still sweet as a nut I'd definately consider overall condition of a car before the mileage.
I'm picking up my A3 1.8T Sport on Saturday it has done 103k. Looks well looked after and has had all the necessary done. I can't wait!!!
Mines is a 1999 1.8T A3. I got 65k on mine. Bought it with 60k on it. Had it 6 months. Came with full service history. Runs like a dream. Since I've had the car I've had a full service including spark plugs, New timing belt, New pads on the rear and now Im going for a new clutch in about 2 weeks as its starting to slip.
Maybe for a diesel! with full service history and as long as it's taken care of they should go to 200 wouldn't they?
My S3 is just about to turn past 57,000 and it celebrated its 6th birthday at the start of January. I reckon it is just about run in! Maintenance is key. I know some people have had turbo issues, but treat them with respect and they will keep going..
well mines on 134k now, and its 3rd gearbox!!!! but the engine still runs absolutely perfectly.... could there be any reason mine blows boxes? the previous owner had the original box go at 110k, i bought it with 124k, and the new box went on me at 130. so its now on a brand new one again its not as if its putting out a massive load of torque either, as the cars still standard!
well my 1.8tqs has is comming upto 72k an runs like a dream apart from the slight gear change problem but gettin that sorted soon. know a mechanic who had a renault kangoo van with 275000 on the clock an didnt use a bit of oil or water.......just goes to show a little tlc and regular services will go a long way:icon_thumright:
A well looked after petrol should see you past that. Its not the engine you need to worry about these days its everythign round about it
mine has done 124,000 a3 1.8t quattro, if service is done on time these engines should last a very long time
Mine is at 127000 ish. Recently had it dynoed at Star Performance and it made 235bhp from a standard 210bhp car! What sort of money is in a new gearbox?
mines an a3 1.8t, not an S3 like yours, but the last time the previous owner had it done, the box alone was £1455 plus VAT and labour..... this time when it went, the diff gave up, and sent a planet gear into the flywheel housing, destroying that too..... so audi coughed up a new gearbox, clutch, and flywheel, all under the two year parts and labour warranty!
My 98 A3 1.8T S has done just over 112K. I bought it last year with a full Audi service history. Thats all i would say to look for is a good service history.
Feel a lot better now after seeing what everyone else has. Service is due soon anyway aaslong as i keep on top of it the car should last me then
Couple of days late - but thought I'd chip in: My '98 1.8T has 128K and apart from the damn rattly seat, is going strong. Just changed the battery for 1st time, and other than a fuel relay letting me down - no major probs, that's the kiss of death... R.

Religious Identity and National Socialism
Derek Hastings
Publication Date - December 2009
312 pages
6 1/8 X 9 1/4 inches
An illuminating account of an important and largely overlooked aspect of early Nazi history, going back to the years after World War I--when National Socialism first emerged--to reveal its close early ties with Catholicism
Derek Hastings here illuminates an important and largely overlooked aspect of early Nazi history, going back to the years after World War I--when National Socialism first emerged--to reveal its close early ties with Catholicism. Although an antagonistic relationship between the Catholic Church and Hitler's regime developed later during the Third Reich, the early Nazi movement was born in Munich, a city whose population was overwhelmingly Catholic. Focusing on Munich and the surrounding area, Hastings shows how Catholics played a central and hitherto overlooked role in the Nazi movement before the 1923 Beerhall Putsch. He examines the activism of individual Catholic writers, university students, and priests and the striking Catholic-oriented appeals and imagery formulated by the movement. He then discusses why the Nazis embarked on a different path following the party's reconstitution in early 1925, ultimately taking on an increasingly anti-Catholic and anti-Christian identity.
Derek Hastings is Assistant Professor of History at Oakland University.
"Sometimes good things come in strange packages. I was looking through Derek Hastings' new book Catholicism & the Roots of Nazism to figure out what his arresting title could possibly mean. Hastings demonstrates beyond doubt that before the failed Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923, significant segments of Catholic clergy and faithful in Munich were among the most important supporters of National Socialism, very much in tune with its increasing emphasis on Aryan racial supremacy and its contempt for Jews. ...a sound scholarly account of the links between Modernist Catholicism and National Socialism up until 1923. Though the book is provocatively titled, Hastings knows the difference between orthodoxy and Modernism. Specialists will find his work valuable."--CatholicCulture.org
"Hastings's scholarly narrative...connects historic anti-Semitic ideology to the empire that implemented the Final Solution." -- ForeWord Reviews
"The interpretation of early Nazism is quite insightful and sheds significant new light." -- CHOICE
"[An] authoritative monograph [that] has incorporated archival and printed sources to show how the Nazi movement and Catholic identity were intertwined in Bavaria."--Catholic Historical Review
"This remarkable and highly original new book...sheds light on an important and hitherto neglected dimension of the history of National Socialism. Combining different historical approaches, Derek Hastings's lucid, beautifully written and persuasive study examines the party's early history in the local context of the Bavarian capital in light of its relationship with the Catholic Church." -Anna von der Goltz, German History
"Highly recommended for those interested in the history of the Christian Churches, Nazism, and the Shoah." -Eugene J. Fisher, Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations
"Though previous scholarship has already shown that a significant number of Christians in the Third Reich embraced Nazism, Derek Hastings breaks new ground by demonstrating that völkisch Catholics in and around Munich played an essential role in the origin and establishment of the Nazi party during the 1920s...A significant contribution to our understanding of Nazism in its earliest stages." -Heath A. Spencer, Catholic History
"The revelations contained in Hasting's book contribute significantly to our current understanding of Munich's contribution to the early Nazi movement...it presents original and indispensable scholarship on the roots of Nazism that can be found in Munich and in Catholicism and, hence, is required reading for all scholars of Bavaria and of religion in the dark twentieth century." --The Journal of Modern History

Psychedelic/Space Rock • Japan
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
PEOPLE were formed during a short term in 1971 as an (nearly) occasional 'shooting star' project to produce a novel psychedelic rock by blending their rock sounds and Buddhist Shomyo (sutra). All the members were renowned and talented Japanese session musicians - Kimio MIZUTANI (guitars, sitar), Yusuke HOGUCHI (keyboards, voices), Hideaki TAKEBE (bass), Kiyoshi TANAKA (drums, percussion), and Rally SUNAGA (gong, percussion). Calling Naoki TACHIKAWA as a producer and a director, they released a solemn and mysterious psych rock album 'Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock' (1971), which was much appreciated by worldwide psychedelic rock fans.

Review by

Blended Rock with Buddhism was approved only by a part of psychedelic rock maniacs.
"Prologue" is the suggester - like a percussion, a dazzling variety of wooden clogs' clip-clops come here. And down-tempo drumming and orchestration can put enthusiasm into you coming across the meeting. However, yet you cannot realize this wondrous rendezvous only on it. Trust me, the curtain of this meeting will rise just the next track "Shomyo - Part 1". Gong. Beat, beat, dub, dub...eerie atmosphere will wrap you up, and Kimio's 'eavy 'uzzy guitar solo with a wooden percussion can shoot some rock flavour. A sutra - the Buddhist (and also Japanese) solemn culture - comes into the rock sounds and this song can be realized completely. This mono-tone sutra should be as impressive as such persistent guitar waves...absolutely the friendship between Buddhism and Psychedelic Rock. In the latter part, the rhythm gets slower a while and Kimio's aggressive guitar solo plus eccentric drumming and comfortable wooden kicks starts - with eerie sutra and thingy around him - as if he wears a Buddhist sound surplice. Maybe this mixture was (and is) hard for you and us to clarify...therefore this project might be short-lived I consider. "Gatha", the third one, is much graver for you I imagine. Kimio's sitar can blow your mind terribly in spite of such a quiet airspace. Oh sorry terrifically, not terribly. :-P ...Jokin' aside, quieter percussion, filling up the space between sounds, should be fantastically solemn as well. Honestly, on the religious ritual percussion (wooden, metallic, or so) must push all believer into trance, passion and happiness. In the next "Flower Strewing" Hideaki's repetitive bass tones can get active, and give a hypnotic and transcendental atmosphere on this song based on Shomyo - sutra. Even such a mono-tone bass sound can throw dream and fantasy for you, if the bass player is a believer... "Shomyo - Part 2" is very simple but simultaneously very important. Here are a simple wooden percussion, quiet guitar and bass sounds, easy-listening keyboard solo, and a rhythmical sutra - you know, that's all. No need for you to consider, you can act naturally in such a simple Shomyo. I wanna emphasize that this song is a masterpiece in the album on the point of view - namely, 'simple is the best for Religion'. "Prayer - Part 1" & "Prayer - Part 2" are exactly trans-senders - primeval percussion and shouts in a trance by trippin' ladies sound rather weird and painful...at least for me. "Epilogue" may be a burnt-out situation...with pretty twitters and magnificent orchestration...but no human breath at all...what a vacant impression...?
PEOPLE left such a problematic and suggestive stuff for us psychedelic progressive rock fans, and it's absolutely right. On the contrary, sad to say, very hard to listen from beginning to finish. Therefore, as mentioned above, this project might break up soon a while.

Your questions are legitimate. But I cannot possibly answer all questions, especially they demand a huge effort. The question you post will cost us at least 40 working hours, not to speak of money. So we have to prioritise. And this one we have to pass. Patrick

Saw your post. Was actually asking about PP NN PP NN match (More interested about. Good to know about much matching for quad sets.
As far as I can understand buying stats of FETs that are in the matching peaks for the p and n channel separately should increase match quality no? and if floating X fixes the PN match problem then should a P-N match be a priority at all? What are the benifits of close matching between channels for this amp? How would this translate to matching for a 16+ channel HOA system? |

If you want 16 channels you can go for nn & PP, as you said.
They will cost much less, but you need to talk to Nic. If left & right channels are not identical, you might end up with (slightly) different amount of feedback, and different harmonic content. So they will sound different. The question is how much and whether audible. Patrick

As someone who has several sets from Zhou and Blues, I would be interested in obtaining better matches if possible (free or otherwise).

First thing is that you PM the Vgs values written on Zhou's 2SJ201 FETs and I will let you know later. This value has to be high enough to enter my unmatched 2SK130 region (the one from nikon1575 is high enough and I am going to fix his set). For the FETs from Blues I cannot help as even the 2SJ201 in the sample I have seen are very variable. |

IMHO you need to be cautious about extrapolating any conclusions you make with one set of data. You have measured one set from Vendor Z and one set from Vendor B. Those measurements do not necessarily extend to other sets from them respectively. I applaud your generosity. But if you want to help others to rematch, there is no other way than to send them all to heinz1 for measurement, and then pool them in together with your devices. But the approach is correct. If the Vgs lies outside your range then there is not much you can do. Patrick

that is of course all completely correct. I do mean improve, not make perfect. What I am saying is simply that the probability of having a decent PPPP-set is higher than having a decent NNNN-set. But still a lottery. The 600+ 2SJ201 I have looked at for certain have a much tighter Yfs distribution and more similar Vgs change with temperature. The only right way is of course to get the FETs to heinz1 and have a look at what can be done, with no guarantees and well understanding that we are not in the miracle business. This would obviously only be possible if heinz1 would agree to do it and in front of a reasonable compensation for his efforts. We have now settled for the 26 perfect NNNNPPPP-sets and most should be able to finish their amps We should have the time over the next months to investigate the possibility. Nic |

The body of a 25-year-old transgender woman was found near Highway 334 in Forrest City, Arkansas on Tuesday morning. St. Francis County Sheriff Bobby May told WREG that Marcel Camero Tye appeared to have a head wound and appeared to have been dragged by a car, but the office is awaiting the official autopsy results. Forrest City, a town of about 14,000, is located about an hour's drive west of Memphis.
Mays did say some witnesses claimed to have heard gunshots in the area near where Tye's body was discovered. Although Tye identified as transgender, May referred to her as a "cross dresser." The Times-Herald of Forrest City reported today that the FBI has joined the sheriff's department in the investigation of Tye's murder as a possible hate crime. Arkansas does not have a law against hate crimes.
Tye is one of several transgender murder victims, including Duanna Johnson, Tiffany Berry, and Ebony Whitaker, in the Mid-South over the last few years. This morning, the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center issued a statement regarding the problem:
"Memphis is known to many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities around the country as a city unsafe for transgender women. That's not the type of reputation we want. Definitely not something to be proud of," says Will Batts, executive director of Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center."We certainly hope that law enforcement officials will make every effort to bring to justice those who committed this horrible crime. It is important for every citizen in our Mid-South community to feel safe and equally protected under the law."

Those of us who knew Gene well recognize that Gene was always greatly interested in helping students and took a particular interest in using his influence to further their personal and professional lives. In honor of remembering Gene and his contributions, the Gene Golub Graduate Fellowship Fund in Computational and Mathematical Engineering was estabilished in 2009.
This fund provides financial support, through fellowships or assistantships, for Ph.D. students in Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering.
Financial aid resources to support Ph.D. students with interests in computational mathematics and scientific computing are more limited now than in past decades. We need your support so that a larger number of deserving students can have the same opportunity that many of Stanford's Ph.D. alumni with interests in the area have had.
If you wish to make a donation, you can do this online (using your credit card) or you can download a form to make a donation or pledge.
- Make a donation online. You can either make an immediate credit card payment or set up a pledge payment that involves spreading your donation over multiple years (if the total amount pledged is $5,000 or more). Please designate the "School of Engineering" for your gift and "Gene Golub Fellowship Fund" in the Special Instructions on your gift.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT) stock is climbing in extended trading Wednesday after the company posted better-than-expected revenue and earnings in its March-ending quarter.
By late afternoon, shares had added 3.8% to $13.78.
Over the three months to March, the company narrowed its net loss to 6 cents a share from 17 cents a share in the year-ago quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast a net loss of 11 cents a share.
Revenue of $177.6 million fell 4% year over year but beat estimates of $176.1 million.
TheStreet Ratings team rates TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR INC (TQNT) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share."

limited number and severity of flashes
Read MoreMy wife swears by this product and when I saw that I could beat the price per bottle by buying a 4 pack at Overstock.com I was thrilled!
Read MoreI have to say that I am on the fence about this supplement. I am 47 and began having almost nightly hot flashes a few months ago. I don't want to experiment with HRT, so I am experimenting with supplements, although my knowledge is minimal. Taking soy isoflavones seemed to eliminate the hot flashes almost completely, but since this has possible dangers similar to HRT, I am trying to find an alternative that works. During the past 2-3 months, cutting back on (but not cutting out) the soy product and adding black cohosh (two capsules daily, so one bottle lasts 30 days) and evening primrose oil leaves me with the return of occasional hot flashes, but far, far better than before taking anything. I can't really tell what the black cohosh is doing and haven't yet tested going without it. The product itself (which I've now ordered twice through Overstock) seems to be in very good condition, with a 3/2014 expiration date, and is offered at a good price for Natrol, which appears to be a reliable brand.

I am building a bed out of cherry. I need to match another nightstand finish which is quite a bit darker. I tried some Varathane traditional cherry on scraps and noticed it is not nearly dark enough and also i see the blotchiness. how can I prevent this? I have added some walnut stain on top of the cherry stain and that gets it closer to the color i want. I plan to use a satin varnish for the top coat. -- Charlie,Treasure coast |

Dyes are your friend. Look up water base dyes. Charles Neil has lots of good dvds on finishing. There are ways to deal with the blotching. He has a good blotch control product. Dyes will get you very close to what you want. Practice on scrap. Do your full finish schedule on scrap. That way you will know exactly what you have to do. There is no fast way to finish well. Take yourtime and work though the steps. It really pays off.bob -- Bob www.bobkloes.com |

Usiing an oil-based stain such as Minwax, try mixing 1 part walnut stain with 2 parts red mahogany. Also, use a laid-up approach when applying rather than wiping the stain. To get a slightly warmer look, color the cherry using a yellow, water-based aniline dye before applying the stain. After doing the above on pieces of scrap you can adjust the ratio for a more red or a brown-toned appearance. As an alternative, just dye yellow and lay up a couple coats of mahogany without the walnut stain and see what looks closer to your night stand. By laid-up I mean putting 2 or 3 coats of wiping stain on and letting each thoroughly dry without wiping. I have done this numerous times on cherry. -- I dream of the world where a duck can cross the road and no one asks why. |

Keep in mind that cherry darkens with age/exposure to light. IAW if you match it now, it will be darker than the other piece in several months. Did you build the other piece? If so finish this one exactly the same as you did the first piece and it will darken to match as time goes by. -- Joe |

I too use dyes for this. I like wax-free blonde shellac (Zinnser Seal-Coat). You can get a good match pretty fast in small quanity, then mix more given those ratios. After that, spray it on. The nice part about that is that you can control the intensity of the color by how many coats you spray on. This method also helps a ton with the blotching, since spraying doesn't force anything into the wood as much as brushing or rubbing. Still, if you decide on a stain – or if you don't spray it – then you can always washcoat the wood before you color it. A pre-conditioner is good, and I've heard that Charles Neil's version is the best. I just use the Zinnser, thinned 1:1 with denatured alcohol. -- jay, www.allaboutastro.com |

Thanks for all the info. I have sprayed stain before with good results but since this bed project has lots of small pieces i decided to wipe a stain on. I have never used dyes but may give it a try. Thanks for turning me on to Charles Neil I just spent 1 1/2 hrs watching some of his stuff. Talk about getting side tracked. I think I will try some of his conditioner since the cherry I am using blotches so bad. I didn't understand about the shellac, are you mixing dyes with the shellac and applying? I appreciate all the help as I don't want to ruin all the work I have invested in this bed. -- Charlie,Treasure coast |

For staining cherry I ran across an elderly gentleman that convinced me to dilute one part of Zinnser Seal-Coat with three parts of alcohol (result is a very thin shellac). Let this dry at least an hour and rub down with #00 steel wool or green 3M pad. Follow with the selected Minwax stain of your choice (or mixture thereof). Seal with Seal Coat, rub down with 00 steel wool (or 400 – 600 grit sandpaper) then apply polyurethane followed by wax (applied with 0000 steel wool) and buff. This finish works really well for me with little to no blotching. -- Roger M, Aiken, SC |
#7 posted 09-21-2012 10:36 PM |
Start with a washcoat of 2 parts Zinssner Bulleseye Seal Coat : 3 parts denatured alcohol. This is the minimum concentration of shellac that will prevent blotching. After the washcoat is dry, stain it with oil based stain (I used Varathane Americn Walnut). -- Willie, Washington "If You Choose Not To Decide, You Still Have Made a Choice" - Rush |

Charlie: Yes, dyes mixed with the shellac. It's a good way to add color when you don't want heavy saturation of the wood. Stains can oversaturate without a good wash coat, which causes the blotching. I have more experience with this on pine and fir than I do cherry, but they are all culprits in that regard. I prefer this method because I can also use the same mix as a toner, to highlight areas of color after the base coat(s) are down. In doing that, I will often spray it first, rub on some stain like you would a "glaze," and then tone with more dyed shellac. Custom kitchen cabinets are often done this way. Aniline Dyes can also be used in water with good results, though that will raise the grain of the wood if you don't first apply a good wash coat. Shellac, especially dewaxed like in the Zinnser, is pretty much the MVP of finishing products. It's great for pre-conditioning (wash coating), it universally works between coats of different stains and finishes (protects from incompatiblities), it works as a good medium for color (as above), and it even provides a good film finish for certain low-wear applications. When you spray, the grain is somewhat concealed. If you need to show more of the grain then you can wash coat it, follow with stain or dye-mix wiped on, and then follow with more shellac and/or your choice of film finish, like poly. -- jay, www.allaboutastro.com |

Thanks for all the help from everybody. I am now armed with enough ammunition to venture into dyes and wash coat formulas. I will do a lot of testing with scrap! -- Charlie,Treasure coast |

text: Russell Brand overcomes personal misery to bring some Sport Relief to Match of the Day Brand dusts the BBC1 football highlights show with some comedy gold despite witnessing his team West Ham lose to Manchester United Comments Written By Ben Dowell 8:06 AM, 23 March 2014 Comedian Russell Brand was forced to put on a brave face last night when he joined Match of the Day regulars Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer as a pundit on the BBC1 show. The passionate West Ham supporter, who appeared as part of a Sport Relief special, joined Brazil's World Cup winner Leonardo on the sofa to analyse his team's 2-0 defeat to the Premier League champions Manchester United. But the 38-year-old at least did his job by bringing some sporting relief to proceedings when commenting on the game which saw a wonder strike from Manchester United's Wayne Rooney sink his team. Referring to Rooney's goal from nearly 60 yards out, Brand comically said that you "must focus on the injustice before the goal", alleging a foul on West Ham player James Tomkins. Brand said that "the East End has not seen that sort of injustice since the dark days of Jack the Ripper", and "West Ham are defined by integrity". Brand also posted a selfie with former England strikers and presenters Lineker and Shearer (pictured). His appearance helped round off a successful Sport Relief for the BBC which kickstarted on Friday night when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were reunited live on British television for the first time in 25 years as more than £51m was raised for the charity. The Australian pair performed a duet of their 1988 hit Especially For You during the BBC1 charity marathon as a fundraising grand total of £51,242,186 was announced at the end of the broadcast. This beat the record £50.4m raised during the last Sport Relief in 2012. Other highlights on Friday night included David Beckham starring in the first new episode of Only Fools And Horses for more than 11 years and the first airing of the England football team's World Cup song, a cover version of Take That's Greatest Day.

This tin is for a customer who requested her baby tin be decorated in the colors of hot pink and black. I was a little nervous at how I was going to do baby with black??? But oh my goodness did this tin turn out great! I think it's my favorite tin so far. I didn't have any hot pink anything. So I had to place an order with SU. *giggle* Stampin Up's pink passion was perfect! It came together so quickly for me and was a lot of fun to put together. I sure hope my client likes it. What do you think of the hot pink and black?

Sweet Polka Dots
In the middle of getting ready for my BIG LAUNCH tomorrow my girlfriend had a birthday. I was afraid I wasn't going to get this done in time. Mainly because I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I have changed the menu at least 5 times. Nothing seemed perfect enough. I know I am stressing way to much about every little detail. But isn't that what we crafters do? LOL Well, maybe not all of us ... just the anal ones and I happen to be one of the "it has to be perfect" ones. Why else would I try and fit in 3 home made cards for family and friends as I am about to launch a new company? Dare I say it but store bought would have been fine to them and they would have completely understood. It always makes me feel better when I give something I have made myself. Don't you agree?
This sweet little pink and black card matched my friends wrapping paper perfectly. I thought a darker pink as a background would help boost the lighter pink a little. I just love polka dots don't you? Especially black and white ones.

(Like many Netflix customers, I too can get quite lax with the timely watching and returning of my movies, which of course defeats the entire purpose of having a flat-rate rental plan in the first place. To combat that, I am now writing standardized mini-reviews of each and every movie I end up watching through Netflix, both instantly and on DVD. Don't forget, all previous 'Justify My Netflix' reviews can be found on CCLaP's main movie page.)
Today's movie: Tron: Legacy, 2010 (Amazon | IMDB | Netflix | Wikipedia)
Why I added it to my queue: Because it's the sequel to Tron. The End.
The reality: OH MY FREAKING GOD THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME AND DID YOU SEE THAT THING WITH THE LIGHT CYCLES WHEN IT WAS ALL LIKE ZOOOOM AND YAAAHH! AND HOLY SH-T FLYNN'S LIKE YOUNG AND OLD AT THE SAME TIME OH MY FREAKING GOD OH MY FREAKING GOD. So yes, it's true, this turned out to be one of the only two or three films a year I actually bother to see in an actual movie theater, for the full $175 or however f-cking much it costs these days, a 3D digital projection while sitting in the fourth row of a stadium-style screening room at the high-end Icon Showcase theater in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago, pretty much the most perfect way possible to watch a movie like this; and now that I've watched it in flat 2D on DVD here at home as well, I can confirm that my overwhelmed reaction to it the first time was not mere hyperbole, that this really is one of the most visually arresting movies of all time, a profound groundbreaker just like the original which is destined to subtly shape the future of that entire industry for at least the next decade.
Now, that said, please be aware that it's based on a cartoonishly bad script, with a plot that makes even less sense than the original (and that's saying quite a bit), dialogue that flops around on the floor afterwards like a dying fish, and a bad habit among the twelve contributing screenwriters (!) to immediately revert to the most lazy stereotypes in the entirety of storytelling, the exact moment that even a shred of creativity is required of them. (Need a weasely minor villain, evil enough to move the story along but who will never outshine the main baddie? Have you considered a gay cabaret-host David Bowie type recently?) But today is literally one of only two or three times a year where I claim that such a thing doesn't really matter; as regular readers know, I think even the most erudite arts fan is allowed at least a couple of projects a year that they enjoy merely as visual eye-candy, and in this case I really dare anyone to come up with a movie in the last year or two that comes even close to outshining Tron: Legacy in terms of computer animation and special effects. (And seriously, take your best shot in the comments, and we'll all debate it fangirl-style.) A true guilty pleasure in the classic sense of the term, this is the closest the entertainment industry has gotten yet to convincing me to buy a Blu-Ray player, a fall-asleep-to-on-a-Sunday-night film that I will undoubtedly be visiting again many times in the years to come.
Strangest piece of trivia: Among the twelve contributing screenwriters was a literal Zen Buddhist monk with no writing experience, brought in personally by Jeff Bridges to "add some spirituality" to the script.
Worth your time? OH MY FREAKING GOD AND THAT GAMES ARENA WITH THE DISAPPEARING FLOORS AND THE ZJOOM ZJOOM HOLY SH-T THAT WAS THE BEST

Baby Food, Boupbwacks and More...
The girls looked so cute before church on Sunday. These were their "Christmas Dresses" and I decided it's a great idea to get holiday clothes that don't just have to go for that day. I got these dresses at the gap kids outlet with my friend Crystal when I went to Denver to visit her and her sweet baby Mack. I got them for such a steal. I wish we had a gap outlet here! Oh and I love how Adelyn is putting on her "boupbwoks" here. What a cutie!
Annabelle has been into eating baby food again. haha Ok not really or kinda. I saw the "on the go" fruit things on clearance and decided to try some for the girls and Annabelle just loves them and Adelyn doesn't like them at all! ha! Could've guessed.
Today, the girls and I decided to make princess cookies. (They have shoes on them if you can't tell.)
They were pretty yummy and it was fun!
I caught the girls playing ring around the rosy and it was so so sweet. I love how much they love each other!
And I read this this morning and I was so convicted about how the girls probably don't think I am a very thankful person. What a way to reveal to me the area that God needs to work on my heart in! (Oh and this is from "Choosing Gratitude" if you couldn't have guessed. :) )

Dreams -- Many Moods
I had a dream about this movie last night, and for some reason, these two stills from Stranger than Fiction encapsulate my moods today.
I'm feeling sentimental:

And wildly overwhelmed:

"Arch," 2009.
Acrylic Ink, Acrylic Paint and Graphite on Panel
These delightfully colored images remind me of the bending, circular branches on the tree of life (which I have tattooed on my back!). Tran's mixed media pieces hold within them a playful sincerity that sucks me right in. "[The trees] seem to give us permission to risk taking a neon path to joy." -Molly Norris

"Gyre," 2009
8x11 feet, in three vertical panels
"Gyre" (detail)
This piece depicts 2.4 million pieces of plastic, equal to the estimated number of pounds of plastic pollution that enter the world's oceans every hour. All of the plastic in this image was collected from the Pacific Ocean.
From the artist: "Perhaps these uncomfortable feelings can become part of what connects us, serving as fuel for courageous individual and collective action as citizens of a new kind of global community. This hope continues to motivate my work."

Image Inspiration -- Miro & the Dancer
Joan Miro with the dancer "La Chunga" in Barcelona, 1953
I love this shot. I can practically feel her dress moving across the floor!
I also feel compelled to include one of my favorite Miro lithographs (mainly because of its nod to Jasper Johns' letter blocks):

"SOCAR Oil Fields #3, Baku, Azerbaijan, 2006," Chromogenic color print.
"Oil Fields #22, Cold Lake Production Project, Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada," 2001.
Today's artist somehow captures the intrusion of oil in our natural landscape and creates visually pleasing (and equally disturbing) images. Check out his current show at the Corcoran and more on his artist's website here.

General Question
Does the year of the Gibson Les Paul really matter?
Asked by mjm8401 (170)
January 12th, 2014
I have been looking at Gibson Les Pauls lately. I've heard people saying the older ones are better then what they make currently. Is this true? Has the quality control gone to shit? Are they using different electrical parts, or is it just bullshit?
