Most stock and commodity markets seem to be in liquidation mode and grains are no exception. December corn finished 35 ¾ cents lower at $6.50, November soybeans down 37 ½ cents at $12.83, and December wheat down 33 cents at $6.33 ¾.
Since the grain close at 1:15 pm yesterday until the time the grains closed today at 1:15 pm the Dow Jones futures have dropped 721 points or 6.65%. We also had a general risk off trade where crude oil lost $6.78 or 7.8% in that same time frame. Corn on the other hand lost 5.21% of its value during this time frame. When we see a general "risk-off" trade it tends to affect many markets, especially ones the large speculators are loaded up with long positions in (like ag futures). On top of this, we are in harvest, yields generally seem to be coming back better than expectations, wheat is underpriced to corn (feed argument), and we have been trading at record levels this year. Bulls will make the argument that we are still going to have a tight carryout. This may be the case but we have ending stocks being released at the end of the month, and then we will have the October supply and demand report around the corner from there. You have to ask: what will happen if we see an increase in ending stocks and a potential yield increase on the Oct supply and demand report?
One thing to remember about the funds is that they can easily get out even faster than they got in, and that may be what we are seeing right now. Throughout the year you can see where it made sense to buy every break that we saw, but now we are in harvest and we are seeing another potential outside market crisis which can highly affect grains. Looking at the December corn chart, I would say the next downside target (maybe support) would be at the 200 day moving average of $6.40, and then below there at the 38.2% retracement level of $6.285. Of course if the next few reports come back bearish all bets are off. Anyone who has sold quite a bit and wants to get upside protection for corn now would be a good time to do so for harvest. We actually were able to get filled buying back our short March $9 corn calls for 6 ½ cents today.
For soybeans we have found support at these levels all year long with that massive trading range we had for November. At this time we may see support here just like we did before but if you need downside coverage I wouldn't take chances and I would either make sales or at least look at put protection. We can always buy back the calls for upside potential as production is still unknown and there are always chances for weather events in S. America to take us higher. We know the market has been loaded up selling soybean puts as volatility has been extremely low for bean puts. If we continue to break this could accelerate the downside move as option writers scramble to cover the short puts. We have had soybean sales to China with the most recent one this morning for 180,000 MTs for 11/12 delivery, but we have also seen cancellations from them of 240,000 MTs just a couple weeks ago.
If you would like to double check where you stand after the most recent break please give an EHedger broker a call and we can go over your position in AMMO. Happy Friday tomorrow and good luck with the rest of harvest!

Ex KGB Discusses Subversion
Turn On Tune In and Rise Up!
Music and art can change our World for the good. You already know how chaotic it is these days if you are awake: Swine Flu hype, G20 Riots, Vaccinations, Nuclear Standoffs, RFID chips, health care arguments, economy, Iraq War, terrorism, the New World Order, 1st amendment violations, unemployment, and the list can go on and on.
Now if we all rise up together we can push the oppressive things out of the way. I have compiled a Jamendo only playlist of artists I really like because of their honesty and musical quality. Please download at the link below and pass around. We can do this. It isn't over and as long as we are breathing we can do something.
And here is another idea: If you can play guitar or piano, sing or write, get going and make a song about whatever you are going through. No matter what. Flood the internet with your viewpoint. Let's not give in to the elite bullies in charge who want to manipulate, con and destroy us with their fear-mongering. These are all distractions.
if you paint or draw do that, too. Flood the internet with your world. We have more numbers behind us than those elite. They hide behind their power and wealth. Come and get going.
Make youtube videos, too and post. Do it!
Here's where you can play or download the playlist for free:

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Last night on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we embraced the déjà vu of the White Party, all over again. We were back at Kyle's eggshell-hued ballyhoo, and two of her cast-member guests were suing each other. But this time, Kyle didn't tearfully turn the sue-er away from the sue-ee at her door; she welcomed the Malooves with the same open arms she uses on a regular basis to routinely stab her friends in their bony backs. She's Kyyyyy-le Riiiichards! America's least self-aware lizard!
But before we get our body bronze makeup all over the matter of the White Party, let's begin with Kim's nose party. You see, Kim Richards decided to throw her new nose a sad, weird pool party, so she hired somebody to serve iced coffee drinks, another person to put floating candles in her small pool, and (one assumes) a third person to sit in a locked room with her face-punching dog. Oh, and I think she also hired David Lynch to art direct it, so the focal point of the whole affair would be the disconcerting gauze and strained, structured bandaging in the middle of Kim's upsetting post-surgery face.
Soon, guests arrived in reticent trickles. Guests like Marisa Zanuck, who came with a sloppy ponytail on her head and tasty gum in her mouth! And Adrienne Maloof, who showed up in a pale lip and a khaki blazer! But the star of the show was Taylor's daughter, young Kennedy Armstrong, whom we watched in real time as she became an officially ABANDONED CHILD. You see, that very evening, Taylor decided to fly away to Beaver Creek for a romantic weekend with a man she'd just met. And in the process of calling Kim to express her regrets for not being able to make her Nose Party on speaker phone, Taylor acted surprised when Kyle, who was also in on the call, reminded her that Kennedy was still in her care. I suppose Kyle babysits Kennedy on a regular basis? "Oh!" Taylor said. "Well, I trust you, Kyle. Bye!" And then Taylor was gone. That was so disconcerting and bizarre, I wasn't sure if it was edited for shock value, or if Taylor really is that irresponsible of a mother/human being. And Kim made some fuss about whether Taylor was smashed, because Taylor has been smashed on Zin this whole season. And when Kim is the voice of reason or has any good cause to do tut-tutting … well, we're all fucked.
Soon, Kim's plastic surgeon arrived to her nose party with his extremely lifelike wife. And after Kim's bandages were disgustingly removed by Doctor Gregorian Chants, DDS, Kim came out and showed off her new nose to her guests, who ooh'ed and ahh'ed in their maxi dresses like this was a normal thing that happens at social occasions.
After Kim's party, we followed Adrienne home to her block, where she and her family witnessed a fire across the street, in Lisa's old mansion. "Oh my God, that house is on fire!" Adrienne and Paul exclaimed. Adrienne loaded her family into a minivan while Paul took iPhone photos of the blaze, just as his caveman ancestors did.
Then we were at Kyle's house, where Kyle wore a peplum tablecloth in a flattering shade of dusty rose in order to delegate pre–White Party tasks to her chubby houseman, Glenn. And after a requisite once-over with a curling iron and a set of false lashes, Kyle and Faye Resnick were, respectively, ready to mingle with other phonies in varying shades of parchment.
Lisa showed up, diamonds and things that looked like diamonds dripping all over her catcher's mitt cleave, and Brandi nervously flitted around the party with two of her friends — one of whom looked like Starrbooty and the other of whom is, I believe the last remaining cast member of Celebrity Rehab who is not yet deceased.
Brandi was nervous that the Malooves would soon arrive, and a scene of Paul and Adrienne approaching in a stretch limo foreshadowed precisely what Brandi had to fear. In the car, Paul and Adrienne talked ominously about karma, and how what Brandi had said and done would soon come back to haunt her. I don't think serving people with legal documents is an organic element of the karma process, but John Lennon is dead now, so we can't ask him and will probably never know.
There was also a confusing moment or two in the limo during which it appeared that Adrienne admitted their lawyer had indeed sent a letter to Brandi, but then Paul said that, no, that had not happened at all? Or maybe Paul was just reminding Adrienne that, in front of the cameras, "hear no letter, see no lawsuit, speak no legalese" was their party line. Either way, by the time Paul and Adrienne arrived at Kyle's, they were on the offensive. But right before they entered Richards's home, a bug flew down Paul's shirt and he hopped around, Homer Simpson–ly, trying to evade the vermin's pesky presence. Now. I'm not a dumb person — I have two degrees and I read for pleasure — but I swear, I could watch Paul Nassif dance around trying to get a bug out of his shirt for a full hour. Score it with goofy music and you've got me for 90 minutes.
Once the Malooves finally entered, Brandi fretted about confronting them, and Lisa gave her friend the advice to approach Adrienne and ask her if they could speak woman to woman. And Brandi didn't exactly follow that advice, but rather sent Starrbooty over in her stead to ask if Adrienne wouldn't mind chatting with Brandi solo. Of course, Paul tagged along, and soon, the three of them got into it.
Adrienne, predictably, wouldn't admit to having sued Brandi, and the matter of what exactly their lawyer had sent Glanville bled into the matter of what Brandi had accused Adrienne of on Twitter and beyond. When Paul demanded proof that Bernie, his doppelgänger chef, had been selling stories about Brandi to Radar Online, Brandi pulled out a copy of an e-mail from her purse, which seemed to shut up Paul, at least on that matter. Go on, Brandi! Show a bitch — you got to have PRINT-OUTS in your motherfuckin' CLUTCH if you're going to SHUT A SUCKER UP!
And around this time, Taylor wobbled in, fresh from a mighty fucking and reeking of Beaver Lake good times, Sauvignon Blanc, and general negligence. Taylor pointed out to Kyle, with Lisa as her Sherpa, the hypocrisy of Adrienne, who had said one year ago that "friends don't sue friends." And after some prodding, Kyle reluctantly agreed that, yes, the situation between Brandi and Adrianne was indeed similar to last year's White Party conflict between Camille and Taylor (or, according to Taylor, Russell), in that two of her guests were in a legal battle over potentially "defamatory" comments.
And nobody was more bloodthirsty over said defamatory comments than Paul. In fact, even as he denied ever serving Brandi with papers that insisted she stop slandering his family, Paul gave Brandi the ol' "You asked for it" shuck and jive when she expressed her difficulty in paying for a lawyer once she was served with some kind of legal documents. "Be careful what you do or say" is a synonym, as far as I'm concerned, for "Fuck yes, we served you with shut-your-mouth papers, bitch. And if you don't zip it, we'll rob you blind." But in his testimonial, Paul admitted only to having "warned" Brandi.
Meanwhile, Lisa would not let fishy Kyle off the hook, bless and keep Saint Vanderpump forever more. "You should really kick out Adrienne, to be fair," quoth Lisa. And Kyle was like "well, Adrienne didn't exactly SUE Brandi." "Neither had Russell!" Lisa said, winning the argument, and life. But Kyle continued to wave her pathetic white flag, streaked as it was with Adrienne's body tanner. "How about if nobody sues anybody!" she laughed, gearing up to make this, like everything else, all about her. "I don't want to go through what I did at last year's party" she continued, living up to the aforementioned premonition and defending her right to do nothing to protect her fake friend Brandi the way she once protected her real friend Camille. Kyle even said out loud that the Adrienne-Brandi debacle was "not her problem." To which Lisa, she of brass balls and perfect hair, cheekily responded, "Actually, yes it is. Cheers!" Lisa is the only person on this show who calls Kyle out on her passive-aggressive, party-line-towing, disloyal bullshit. She's the only one astute or fearless enough to see Kyle's silence for what it truly is — cowardice, fawning, and the weasel-iest way to take sides possible, which is to say she pisses off those with integrity in her efforts to please everybody, by pleasing nobody. I salute Lisa for zero'ing in on the person on this show with the most misplaced convictions, not to mention the neediest infant id. God, I hate Kyle. If any of you use Turbo Tax this year, please stop reading these recaps. Deal? Deal.
And on the other side of the house, midway into the latest Brandi-Maloof showdown, a whole bevy of onlookers showed up to watch the sparks. Soon, Ken came to Brandi's defense, to the consternation (and sexual frustration?) of Paul, who called Glanville the Vanderpumps' daughter/girlfriend — a sick notion. And while the ambiguity of the letter, the exact legal action taken, and what exactly Brandi did indeed say are frustrating mid-series plot points, I do hope that all of this will lead to a juicy and illuminating reunion.
Next time, Kim will confront Taylor about her problem with the funny-sauce! Kyle will take some of the gals to Paris, where wine runs through all known plumbing! And Kim and her new nose continue to act the part of the damaged clown. Until next week's installation of this exquisite Commedia Del' Arte, my pals!

From The Huffington Post:
The Nobel Peace Prize that President Obama received 40 months ago has emerged as the most appalling Orwellian award of this century. No, war is not peace.
George Carlin used to riff about oxymorons like "jumbo shrimp," "genuine imitation," "political science" and "military intelligence." But humor is of the gallows sort when we consider the absurdity and tragedy of the world's most important peace prize honoring the world's top war maker.
This week, a challenge has begun with the launch of a petition urging the Norwegian Nobel Committee to revoke Obama's Peace Prize. By midnight of the first day, nearly 10,000 people had signed. The online petition simply tells the Nobel committee: "I urge you to rescind the Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to Barack Obama."

MSU (0-4, 0-0 MEAC) vs. Norfolk State (0-3, 0-0 MEAC)
Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013 – 1 p.m. ET
Hughes Stadium (10,000)
Baltimore, Md.
The Bears (0-4) will open Mid-Eastern Conference play against Norfolk State on Saturday (Sept. 28) in Baltimore (Md.) for Morgan State's home opener. The Bears have opened the 2013 season with four straight nonconference road tests. The Spartans are led by head coach Pete Adrian, who is in his ninth season at the helm for the Spartans. NSU (0-3) will enter the contest coming off of a tough home loss against Chareston Southern, 20-12. Morgan State will look to rebound from a 58-17 road loss against FBS-member Western Kentucky. Donald Hill-Eley, ranked third among winning coaches at MSU, enters his 12th year as head coach of the Bears. Game time at Hughes Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
• The Bears and Spartans will meet for the 26th time since 1965. Norfolk State leads the series 15-10 and has won the last six meetings against MSU since 2007.
• Last against the Spartans (Nov. 10, 2012) … Morgan State had five turnovers that led to Norfolk State's 27-0 first half lead as the Spartans cruised to a 30-0 victory at Dick Price Stadium. Robert Council had a rough outing for the Bears as he completed just 4 of 12 passes 38 yards, and was picked off three times, including one that was returned 15 yards for a touchdown. Council was relieved by Seth Higgins who threw for 104 yards on 10 of 23 passing.
• The last time the Bears played the Spartans at Hughes Stadium was on Nov. 12, 2011 … Morgan State battled No. 22 Norfolk State throughout the first half, before one utterly forgettable stretch to open the second half. The Bears allowed 17 straight points in a span of 4 minutes, 26 seconds, turning a close game into a 47-14 rout.
• Norfolk State head coach Pete Adrian enters his ninth year guiding the Spartans and currently holds a 47-46 record (83-83 career record) and is the third-winningest coach in Spartan history. He guided the Spartans to the first MEAC football title and Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth in school history in 2011.
• Norfolk State finished the 2012 season with a 4-7 overall record and went 2-6 in the MEAC.
• NSU returns 39 lettermen, including 17 starters from last year's team.
• NSU QB Omari Timmons was 10 of 17 for 95 yards and a touchdown against Charleston Southern. He was also sacked three times.
• Ben Robinson and Christian Reyes combined for 194 yards rushing on 34 carries to lead Charleston Southern to a 20-12 nonconference victory over Norfolk State. Robinson's 2-yard scoring run early in the second quarter gave Charleston Southern (4-0) the lead. The Spartans came back to score on a 1-yard pass from Omari Timmons to Ryan Wade. The point after was blocked. The Charleston Southern defense added the clinching touchdown when Dyland Black caused Norfolk State's Tyler Clark to fumble in the end zone. Black recovered the fumble for the score.
• NSU senior LB Lynden Trail is one of the leaders for the Spartans defense. Trail will enter this weekend's contest fresh off posting 10 tackles , including one sack and two pass breakups against Charston Southern … he has 22 tackles (14 solo) with 1.5 sacks thru three games.
• NSU graduate student RB Rolandan Finch ranks as the No. 2 leading rusher in the MEAC with 234 yards on 50 carries (4.7 avg). The 5-10, 215 pound Boston College transfer finished the Charleston Southern contest with a game-high 108 rushing yards. Finch is still in search of his first touchdown in a Spartan jersey.
• The Bears' offensive unit will face a Spartan defense that ranks among the top in the league. NSU ranks No. 3 in the MEAC in total defense (355.7/g), and No. 2 versus the pass (141.7/g).
• MSU will enter the 2013 season with a number of veterans … the Bears' roster includes 12 seniors and 15 juniors.
• The Bears return its top receiver from last season in Andrew King … King, a Columbia (Md.) product, had 25 catches for 334 yards (13.4) and scored a pair of touchdowns as a true sophomore.
• The Bears backfield lost All-MEAC running back Travis "Juice" Davidson to graduation, however the backfield is loaded with talented young players like Lamont Brown III, Herb Walker Jr., Tracy Martin and Orlando Johnson who will compete for the starting RB spot.
• The returning quarterback duo of Seth Higgins and Robert Council combined for 1,560 passing yards (140-of-301) and five touchdowns in 2012.
• Joe Rankin returns as a shutdown cornerback for the Bears and finished with 46 tackles and lead the MEAC with five picks in 2012.
• NT Demarco Bisbee leads a defensive line unit that returns 10 lettermen from last season … Bisbee posted 41 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and
3.5 sacks in 2012.
• LB Christopher Robinson was among the league leaders with 13.5 tackles for loss (No. 4), to go along with 40 tackles and 8.5 sacks.
• Chris Flowers helped lead the Bears to a No. 1 ranking in the MEAC in kickoff return avearge (23.0 avg) and his 27.8 kick return average ranked No. 8 in the FCS last season.
• The Bears added four new coaches to the 2013 staff … the new coaches are: Jerry Holmes (DC), Gordon Gregory (OC), LeAndre Creamer (DB) and Marcus Gladden(OL).
FINISHING TOUCHES … Morgan State has been pretty good this season when it comes to scoring in the red zone. Through the first four games, the Bears have scored 7-of-9 (78%) times inside its opponent's 20 yardline. MSU ranks No. 7 in the MEAC in red zone scoring.
GETTING DEFENSIVE … The Morgan State defense has five players with at least 15 tackles so far this season.
• Junior linebacker Cody Acker leads the way with 41 stops (4th in MEAC), including a season-high 12 tackles at Liberty (Sept. 14).
• The next highest is senior Darien Irby who has posted 26 tackles from his starting strong safety position.
LAUNDRY SERVICE … Morgan State mistakes in the form of penalties have been troublesome for the Bears. MSU ranks No. 8 in the MEAC in penalties (32; 63.8 avg), but was flagged a season-low five times for 35 yards at Western Kentucky last Saturday.
HIGGINS STANDS TALL IN QB CAROUSEL … With Robert Council, Moses Skillon and Ricky Fisk jockeying for additional playing time, Seth Higgins put together a solid outing last week at Western Kentucky. The junior completed 13 of his 21 passes for 126 yards and tossed two touchdowns. He also had 13 carries for 56 yards. Although he did throw a pair of interceptions, it was his best statistical performance since throwing for 153 yards in last season's overtime win against Sacred Heart last year.
COLLECTING INTERCEPTIONS … The Bears have recorded five interceptions through four games. CB Joe Rankin has a pair of picks, while SS Peterson Javier, CBDeShaun Summers, and LB Bill Hill each have an interception to their credit. Morgan State's defense currently ranks T-18 in the FCS in interceptions and No. 19 in pass defense (151.8 avg).

INGRAM EARNS CFPA HONORS … Senior tight end Nate Ingram was honored by the College Football Performance Awards for his play last Saturday against BCS-member Western Kentucky. Ingram was named honorable mention tight end of the week after recording four catches for 60 yards. The Sicklerville (N.J.) was also on the receiving end of a 35-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Seth Higgins for the Morgan State's first score of the game. It marked the second longest scoring play of the season for the Bears. Ingram, who has started at tight end in the first four games, is averaging 12.7 yards per reception and has six catches on the season.

Last weekend, Frank got off work early and the weather was beautiful; a nice long cruise in the Firebird was in order. We decided to check out the Extraterrestrial Highway. We got up to Alamo and noticed the tire pressure was low. We topped it off and set off on our way.
After a photo opp stop, we continued down the loniest highway. Only it was not too lonely we came across seven other vehicles before we were forced to turn back because we were losing air, something was wrong with the tire.
We went back to Alamo, and thankfully, Oscar's garage was open. He was able to diagnose the problem, change the air stem, and get us back on the road in a jiffy. We were incredibly thankful it was 110 miles to home and not much in between. That's far more than any spare tire should bear.
We made it back home without any other troubles. We hit some new top speeds in the process. We'll have to attempt the loniest highway again sometime soon.

Forget B-School: D-School Is Hot
The hottest graduate program is one you may have never heard of: Stanford's d.school, which teaches the murky concept of "design thinking." Melissa Korn has details on Lunch Break. Photo: Alison Yin for The Wall Street Journal.

The fruit is kidney-shaped, about an inch in length, and has a double shell. The kernel or cashew nut, which is sweet, oily, and nutritious, is much used for food in the tropics after being roasted to destroy the caustic juice. It yields a light-colored oil said to be the equal of olive oil and is utilized in various culinary ways. In the West Indies it is used to flavor wine, particularly Madeira, and is imported into Great Britain for this purpose. The nut grows on the end of a fleshy, pear-shaped stalk, called the cashew apple, which is white, yellow, or red, juicy and slightly acid, and is eaten, used for juice, and fermented to make an alcoholic beverage. Cashews are classified in the division MagnoliophytaMagnoliophyta

When director Ruben Fleischer's 2009 film Zombieland turned out to be a huge hit, talk immediately turned to a prospective sequel for the comedy. Producers weren't exactly lacking for ideas for the follow-up, since Zombieland was originally envisioned as a weekly TV series before it was reimagined as a feature film. While Fleischer recently told us that the chances of Zombieland 2 coming to fruition are very slim, it now appears that the TV show might be coming back from the dead. Reports surfaced in late 2011 that CBS was mulling over a Zombieland TV series, and now some casting calls for the show have leaked online that appear to confirm that the show is indeed in development. Hit the jump for story and character details on Zombieland 2.0.
The folks over at io9 got their hands on some pages of the pilot script that are being used for casting calls, and they reveal a slightly different take on the characters originally played by Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin in the film. It's unknown if Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick also penned the script for this pilot, and it's also entirely possible that the characters in the finished pilot (or even series) end up to be wildly different from these descriptions.
That said, the current breakdowns describe Tallahasse (Harrelson) as still a bit of a "snarky weirdo," but the TV iteration of the character has a more genial relationship with Columbus (Eisenberg) than he does in the film. The pilot story finds Columbus tracking down his grandma and grandpa, only to find that they've already been turned. He is also still after the heart of Wichita (Stone), who is revealed to have run away from her father after he had her steal other people's Christmas presents (ah, so that's where the con man aspect of her character comes from).
Witchita is also still taking on a maternal role with regards to Little Rock (Breslin), trying to teach her math and such in the post-apocalyptic world. Little Rock doesn't appear to do much in the pilot, but we do apparently learn a bit more about her relationship with her father as well. There are also two characters named Fred and Ainsley who are office workers that complain about "first world problems" while horrifically graphic zombie kills are taking place right behind them.
Again, these character breakdowns could end up being wildly different if and when the pilot ever does make it to production. For now, though, it's definitely interesting to see that the Zombieland TV show might be back in play.

Lizard People Meet!
Sure, you've stolen of hundreds of humans hearts. But isn't it time to let someone steal yours? With Lizard People Meet, you can connect with Lizard People from all over the galaxy right from the comfort of the home you recently invaded. Just whip out your comically over-sized genitalia, and start falling in love.
Unfortunately the site doesn't look all that useful, since while you can select items from the dropdown on the front page, it doesn't seem like it actually allows you to search profiles – or do anything else, for that matter. Or maybe I can't get the site to work right because I lack the appropriate lizard marker in my DNA. As a point, there's not much overlap between sorcerers and reptilians, despite what fundamentalist Christians who like David Icke will tell you.
The couple of "sample profiles" are funny, but it looks like that's about all there is. I always knew that Dick Cheney was in it with the aliens, and they have proof! Otherwise, you can buy t-shirts and "register," though it's not clear whether you can actually sign up or if it just puts you on another marketing email list or something. Also, the "script" link looks like a treatment for B-movie or something, so perhaps that's what these folks are trying to promote.
Anyway, this gave me a good laugh. The site is amusing and pretty well-done. Maybe one of these days the conspiracy folks will figure out that the whole "lizard people" thing is little more than a big joke – you know, just like David Icke.

An earthquake map from the USGS shows Saturday's 4.3-magnitude quake.
Updated at 5:40 p.m. ET: A 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck eight miles west of Whitesburg, Ky., early Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The epicenter of the shallow, light earthquake was 0.7 miles deep under the Appalachian Mountains town of Blackey, near the Virginia border, the agency said.
There were no immediate reports of damage in the eastern Kentucky area.
The tremor was felt from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Atlanta, Ga., USGS geophysicist Paul Caruso in Denver told NBC News.
"Normally, we don't expect major damage with this kind of intensity," but it's "not out of the question" that there could be some -- usually, major damage is expected when magnitude is 5.5 or higher, Caruso said.
Whitesburg police and fire officials told NBC News late Saturday afternoon that after making round they had no visible damage, only people calling to report that they "felt jolts."
Earlier, the Letcher County Sheriff's office said it was still assessing the quake but had no reports of damage or deaths.
Nick Howell, at Parkway Inn Hotel in Whitesburg told NBC News he felt light jolts but nothing serious. There was no visible damage outside, he said.
Most Kentucky temblors historically have occurred in the western portion of the state, near the New Madrid seismic zone, the USGS says.

3HO Lifestyle
"On the fifth of January, when I gave a lecture, they asked me, 'What have you brought for us?' I said, 'I gave you a Healthy, Happy, Holy way of life.' I have not come here to collect students; I will create teachers, and teachers so created in this 3HO, shall teach the world a way of life with style. That's what we have said, that's what we are doing, that's what we are."
-Yogi Bhajan, 1/5/93
Yogi Bhajan brought Kundalini Yoga to the West from India in the late 1960's. However, he did not simply share yoga exercises and meditations. His teachings include a comprehensive lifestyle that allows the radiance of the soul to shine in every facet of life.
How to eat. How to dress. How to communicate. How to have relationships. How to raise children. How to do business. Yogi Bhajan infused every aspect of life with the beauty and grace of the Kundalini. When you raise your Kundalini and change your consciousness, every aspect of life gets transformed. The lifestyle teachings of 3HO are designed to support you through that transformation. In this way, you can live healthy, happy and holy; bountiful, blissful and beautiful; as a whole, healed and sovereign human being.

Hi guys, I'm stuck on the following simple problem. Method 1 asks for input. Method 2 gets input and checks it against a criterion - if it fails, we start back at method 1, if it passes, we finish. But it doesn't work - if the input fails the test the first time around, it gets stuck in a loop where the new input isn't recognised. I'm really struggling with understanding why/how this is happening, and I'd be eternally grateful if somebody could help me.
As an example, if the user inputs a value less than 10, the program goes back to Method 1, BUT, if they then enter a (valid) number greater than 10 the system still goes back to Method 1 - it doesn't exit. I suspect it has something to do with using the while loop - I understand I can use an if statement instead, but I want to understand why it fails with the while loop. Any feedback appreciated.
import java.util.Scanner; public class TESTINGCODE { public static void main(String[] args) { Method1();} public static void Method1(){ System.out.println("Enter an integer greater than 10"); Method2();} public static void Method2(){ Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int value = input.nextInt(); while(value < 10){ Method1(); } } }

Miami is quickly becoming the totally pointless and self-indulgence Reality TV mecca, so of course "The Real World" wouldn't want to be left out.
MTV's signature reality television series is holding a casting call this Saturday to potentially fill slots for the show's silver anniversary season. It's unclear where the new Real World crew will wreak havoc, but we wouldn't bet against Miami.
"We look for characters from real life, people with strong personalities who are unafraid to speak their minds," executive producer Jonathan Murray told Miami.com.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
That qualifies pretty much everyone in the 305, with the obvious exclusion of the Kardashians, Snooki, and that Situation fella. Then again, any of those new Miami residents might be bold enough to show up and compete for a spot in the new "Real World" house.
To participate, bring a recent photo and your most obnoxious persona to the Burger and Beer Joint at 1766 Bay Road on Miami Beach. You must be between 18 and 24-years old to be exploited, er, considered.

As part of last year's budget negotiations, the threat of sequestering or an automatic 8 percent cut was supposed to bring all parties to the table. There would be a balanced budget and less need for increasing our debt limit.
This cut of $85 billion represents 2.3 percent of the budget. There are just as many good managers in the government as in the private sector. If their superiors would give them the authority and flexibility to manage budgets, they could find savings without having to consider furloughing or laying off employees. Millions of Americans have cut far more out of their family budgets and managed to survive.
If federal civil servants face furloughs, so too should White House employees, members of Congress and their staff. Everyone should be allowed to use yearly earned annual leave against any payless furlough days. Remember they have already gone three years without any salary increase. Payless furlough days are essentially a salary cut.
Both the president and Congress need to work together if we are ever going to put our fiscal house in order and end future threats of both sequesters and furloughs. We need to return to the time when Congress held budget hearings for each department during the summer.
A real balanced budget agency by agency was adopted during an open process. Members of Congress, federal employees, the public, watchdog groups and media were afforded sufficient time to understand the full contents prior to adoption. Full federal budgets were adopted on time prior to the start of any new fiscal year on October 1.
Everyone knows that the thousands of Washington lobbyists representing every conceivable special interest group work behind the scenes hand in hand with the White House and Congress to write their own favored special provisions into every Federal agency funding bill prior to adoption.
Unfortunately, we can't furlough the thousands of lobbyists who swarm around Washington like bees searching for honey.
President Obama and Congress should be held accountable for their actions, or in this case inaction. Both the President, members of Congress and their respective employees should be docked one full day's pay for each day the upcoming Federal Fiscal Year 2014 budget is not adopted on time.
They need to perform this most basic requirement of their jobs, just like federal civil servants do on a daily basis.
Larry Penner is a resident of Great Neck.

Build your own thermal hunter
Read the full article in the August 2014 issue of Model Aviation.
RC sailplanes have changed during the past 45 years. Now there is carbon fiber, vacuum-bagged fiberglass wings, ailerons, spoilers, flaps, crow settings, and highly efficient airframe designs.
My first RC sailplane was built with the wing and stabilizer from a large-class FF model, with a fuselage made to hold the radio gear. Launching was done by hand towing—like FF towline gliders. Although running across a field towing an airplane was good exercise, I sure didn't like it.
Next I tried hi-starts, with shock cord or surgical tubing for the slingshot power. This again was a lot of work and not much fun.
Our first winches were gas-lawn-mower-engine powered, with a chain drive and clutch setup turning a large drum to wind in the line. Turnaround pulleys were another item to figure out. The gas-engine winches were noisy, messy, and we had plenty of broken lines and broken wings.
Electric winches were next, and somebody finally figured out that the old Ford starter motors with the long shafts would work for our needs. Today the winches use small, efficient, powerful modern electric motors.
I consider the best advancement in technology from those early days is the use of a powerful electric motor and folding propeller in the nose of today's RC sailplanes. I'm not talking any sort of contest flying—just a sunny summer day, soaring for fun, looking for the thermals, and enjoying flying and easy launching without a winch or hi-start.
I wanted to do some sailplane flying and I wanted to make wood chips and sawdust to do it—not go out and buy an ARF. I wanted to do this retro style, for nostalgia's sake. When looking back at the early model sailplane activity, nobody comes to mind faster than Frank Zaic and his Thermic series of glider and sailplane designs.
Frank Zaic and his designs are a part of our aeromodeling history and well known at least to those of us who appreciate and have a nostalgic interest in the background of our activity. Frank designed sailplanes before World War II, and many were produced in kit form by JASCO and later Jetco Models.
This isn't the place for a review of Frank's interesting life and model aviation activities, but it's a topic worth researching if you enjoy that kind of reading. He's in the AMA, National Free Flight Society (NFFS), and Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) Halls of Fame and his series of Model Aeronautic Year Books from the 1930s into the 1960s make for worthwhile reading. Most of his publications can still be found today.
I built Frank's Thermic 18, Thermic 20, and Thermic 36 hand-launched gliders in some quantity as a kid in the 1950s, and later on used his classic Thermic 100 wing as the basis for a few RC sailplanes.
The instantly recognizable, widened and tapered wingtip shape on many of his larger sailplanes came from a full-scale German sailplane of the 1930s, the Minimoa, designed by Wolf Hirth. That wing shape is occasionally still seen today, likely for its nostalgic value rather than for any performance benefit. Some enthusiasts have built replica Thermic 100 sailplanes. Plans and reproduction kits are available for true nostalgia flying.
I decided to use Frank's general Thermic 100 wing shape and pod-and-boom styling, coupled with some building techniques for an old-style sailplane, but have an electric motor in the nose. This project is intended to be an easy-flying model for some fun on a nice summer day, floating around and looking for that thermal lift, knowing the motor in the nose is there to help out if needed. It's built with balsa, basswood or spruce, and plywood.
When I found I could buy the basswood wing spar material in 24-inch lengths, I laid out the wing with four 24-inch panels and 3-inch wingtips, for an overall wingspan of 102 inches and roughly 900 square inches of wing area. I built the wing in one piece, and I knew it would fit in my minivan. If the wing size is a concern, I'd make it with a one-piece, 48-inch center section and have plug-in tip panels, attaching music-wire joiners to brass or composite tubes.
I like the looks of a pod-and-boom fuselage and you can get a fiberglass tube to use as a boom. I used 1/4-inch-thick basswood top and bottom pieces with 1/16 plywood sides for an easily built, all-wood boom. Using balsa sides and plywood doublers for the fuselage section to hold the radio gear, the electric motor, and the battery pack, provides an overall structure is more rugged than light weight.
The motor I used—a BP Hobbies' A2826-4 with a 14 x 8 folding propeller and a 4-cell LiPo battery pack—is more than is needed for relaxed flying. A smaller power setup could be used, but I enjoy the straight-up climb capability at times.
A 2,500 mAh battery is plenty for climbing high, cutting the power, and looking for thermal lift. A pack of up to 4,000 mAh can be used if you want to count on longer flights without worrying about finding the elusive thermals.
To build this model, you'll have to round up the materials you'll need and cut up a copy of the plans for paper templates so you can trace and cut out the parts. I've been getting my balsa, basswood, and plywood from National Balsa.
I took my time, cut out all the needed parts, and made a complete kit before I started construction. Then I made a number of changes while building the airplane, throwing some parts away. Hey it was the prototype! You won't have that problem, because the plans now reflect the final version and I'm happy with it.
Because you'll be building your own model, if you want to make changes and have some different ideas to try, go ahead and make it the way you want. This is another advantage of scratch-building instead of buying an ARF. And if you ever need to make some repairs on the airframe, you'll be able to make the spare parts you need yourself.
I cut the plans sheet into pieces, and built the wing panels on a flat building surface. I put waxed paper over the plans to protect them. I laid the lower spar and the lower center section sheeting pieces down on the plans, and positioned the ribs over their locations on the plans. The opposite-side wing panels were built over the same plans to get the correct rib spacing, but with the ribs heading in the opposite direction.
I used vertical-grain balsa spar webbing in the center panels only, and with the top spars, LEs and TEs glued in place, I removed the wing panels from the building surface. The panels were put together with the plywood dihedral and polyhedral joiners. I wrapped the center section joint with a strip of 6-inch fiberglass cloth and epoxy.
This model uses a simple, basic structure of balsa, basswood, and plywood. No exotic materials or techniques are required. It has a polyhedral wing and control is via rudder and elevator.
This view of the nose section shows the motor with folding propeller bolted in place. Cooling air-inlet holes are used in the removable hatch, which uses a spring-loaded latch.
There is plenty of room inside the fuselage for the battery and radio gear.
The tail surfaces were built up over the plans, and I added a little dihedral in the horizontal stabilizer so its tips wouldn't catch on the ground during a landing. That was probably unnecessary, and the stabilizer would have been easier to build flat.
I drilled and tapped the hardwood pieces in the stabilizer 1/4-20 for two nylon bolts to hold the tail assembly to the fuselage boom. The fuselage pod-and-boom sections are easily built up, and the boom glued into the holes in the pod formers. I put several cooling air inlet holes in the removable plywood hatch, which is held in place with a spring loaded latch mechanism.
The strong magnets available today for this purpose could also be used. Nylon tubing-style pushrods to the elevators and rudder are inside the boom. The wing is held to the fuselage with the plywood tab at the LE and one 1/4-20 nylon bolt at the TE.
The motor is bolted to the plywood firewall, with plenty of room for the ESC and any reasonably sized battery pack. The servos are installed under the wing position. You don't need a towhook on the bottom of the fuselage unless you want a "pure" sailplane. Nylon pinned hinges are used on the elevators and rudder, and your favorite type of iron-on covering will do. I used a 60-amp ESC with built-in BEC circuitry to power the receiver and servos.
I didn't even think about any hand-launched test glides before the first flight. I simply powered it up and hand launched it. The airplane jumped out of my hand, and headed steeply up. I put some downthrust in the motor mounting before the next flight.
My first flights were made in the late fall in cool and even cold weather, so I haven't done much thermal soaring yet. I like the easy way the airplane flies, and will probably do my piloting from a comfortable lean-back chair in the summer when enjoying that sunny-day thermal activity.

The thermix looks like a great project. Being the lazy person I am with not a lot of building time available, I wonder if anybody else is thinking what a quick build it would be if there was a lazer cut wood kit available.
Laser cut kit parts for Thermix '13
George, are you still interested in laser cut parts? If so I'm trying to see how many of us are. It looks like there may be 4 so far...you, one other original, plus Eliott Scott, and me. Once I know how many there are, and who they are, I'll send an email to everyone to see what everyone wants. At that point I plan to see what company is interested in doing the cutting for the lowest price. It'll take a little time, but should save each of us $$.
THERMIX '13 Laser Cut Ribs and Fuse Formers
I'm getting a pricing from National Balsa for this but am interested if anyone has been successful in getting laser cut estimates. I'm finding I need to do the legwork in getting a .DWG file for an estimate and have had no luck in finding if AMA Plans can provide this format. I've cut up the ribs and formers and am trying to get them sized correctly. Once that's done I'll have an estimate from that company for wing ribs, fuselage formers, and dihedral braces.
I would be interested in an
I would be interested in an estimate as well. Due to time, etc., the closer I can get to a kit - the better.

Difficulty ordering plans
Tried ordering two sets of plans, but the webpage is stuck at the "Review and Continue" step, impossible to tell whether my credit card information was received. Will just fill out the form in the issue and mail with a check, but I order plans frequently from MA and would like to see this problem addressed.
Just ordered the plans. If
Just ordered the plans. If Dick says "it easy to build" it will be. I know everyone has a busy life and wants "instant gratification" Building, especially from scratch is very satisfying.
Thanks Dick!

Ailerons , flaps
Anyone ever put ailerons and or flaps on one of these??
A perfect fit! I am in love.
I made a Thermic 36 in 4th grade in the'70s, my introduction to models more significant than sheet balsa tossers. I've been in love with the lines ever since. I later kept trying to build pod and boom fuselages but had very limited access to supplies and never managed to make a rigid yet light enough boom. I was a pre-teen so I don't judge the failure harshly and I had a lot of fun. That said, this design is like a Cupid's arrow right to my modeler's heart. I may change a few things (and more than likely find they don't work and use your exact approach in the end) because that's fun, but this is the first model since I've returned to the hobby that I just have to build out of traditional materials instead of dtf etc. And I am so looking forward to balsa dust instead of bits of foam!
Thank you.
Add me to the list...
...I, too, would like to know how many are interested in a laser cut kit, and, once we know how many there are, what it would cost each of us. Let's say we give it a week...let's check in next Saturday, the 23rd. Anyone know Dick Sarpolus to see if he has had any laser cut kit inquires?
Thermix '13
I cannot understand the drawing of the horizontal stabilizer. It calls for 3/8" balsa which establishes the thickness and then calls for 1/2" hardwood for the attaching stabilizer. Also, how are the hardwood pieces attached? I am also pondering the linkage and wondering how on attaches to the stabilizer through the boom as indicated in the drawing?
What i have planned to do is: Cut the 1/2 x 1/2 down to 3/8 x 1/2.
I then glued the two pieces on the center section and glued the two front and back pieces to the hardwood.
I made a cardboard pattern and marked the centers of the holes for the 1/4 thread.
I have not really figured the Vertical Stab linkage as of today.
I think i can get all three golden rods in the rear of the tube, just like they are in the front.
Here is what Dick had to say about the stab dimensions:
. What I didn't make clear enough on the plans, other than the note "optional stab dihedral 1 ¼" under each tip", was that the ½"x ½" hardwood was needed because of the dihedral built into the stab. The thicker wood could be trimmed to the shallow vee shape of the dihedralled stab.
What did Dick do about the Elevator control hookups at the horizional stab?
I can plainly see three control rods inside the fuselage.
I have been studing on how to make the wires hook up on the stab.
I'm just about to bend a connector wire to hook up buth sides of the stab together.
Any info is greatly Appreciated.
Thermix '13 laser cut interest?
Looks like only 2 of us are interested in combining for a possible 'package deal'. Anyone else interested??? Denis at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I finally fogured out the control hookups.
The two elevator control rods are on eack side of the fuse.
The rudder comes out od the top of the fuse.
The Horizional stab and elevator have diheadreal .
the plans do not show this detail.
I used some hardwood and cut it to the diheadreal and glued to the three sections of the stab.
Does anyone know what the reccomended throws are for the rudder and elevator?
I to would be interested in laser cut parts, either a short or full kit.
Thermix 13 control rods
What type/size control rods did you use?

So far it looks like there may be 4 people interested in laser cut parts. Once I know how many there are, and who they are, I'll send an email to everyone to see what everyone wants...wing ribs, fuselage parts, etc. At that point I plan to see what company is interested in doing the cutting for the lowest price. It'll take a little time, but should save each of us $$. So, this is the last call...is there anyone else who would join us in an order?

I did finish my Scratch-build.
It turned out looking good.
I have not had time to test fly it .
The wind here had been way too strong.
It's supposed to be warmer this weekend and they are calling for less wind.
I'll report back if i get to fly it.

This blog may have lost its following, but if anyone out there wants to join the 4 of us already on board in getting a laser cut kit, this is your very last chance. If interested, send a direct email to me at email@example.com...the single 'n' in my name is correct.
Scratchbuilt Thermix
Hello to all,
Well the wind was perfact and partly clear skies today.
My test pilot Earnie checked the controls and Aw-ed at the bird.
I grabbed her up and headed to a clear part of the field.
A full throttle takeoff and she was airborne and flying stable after trimming the elevelator slightly and a little harder trim on the rudder.
She flew very well , but it took all the rudder could od to make a right turn.
Earnie landed her after a long run about 1" off the ground for about 30ft.
We looked and the tail section and noticed it was tilted, I loosened the screws and was able to find a scrap of balse and wedge it in.
Back to another flawless takeoff with no adjust ments on the rudder at all and a slight trim on the elevelator.
Now for the fun part.
Straight up at full throttle to just about out of sight, Just as Dick described in his article.
I am very well pleased with dicks contrubution to the hobby.
Thanks Dick and the AMA for another fine job.
No for the laser cut kit.
If anyone is interesed you need to contact Denis ASAP.
It's in the works.

Thermix 13' kit in the final stages
Hello to the Group,
The thermix 13' kit is in the final stages.
Currently we have 5 members who want a total of 6 kit's, me taking 2.
There have been some changes made to the drawings that will make the kit more builder friendly and they will have more build options, such as 3 part wings.
I'l like to personalyy like to thank, Roger Marshall ( Camden Custom Cutters in Camden SC), Denis Kutch and the others who have taken the time to make this possible and last but not least Dick Salous for his fine designed Plane and helping us in the approval of the drawing changes.
While theres still time, If you'd like a kit contact Denis Kutch at: email@example.com
Thanks to all who replied and hope you will order your kit as well.
Scott Hamm
Thermix '13.1
As Scott said in his May 26 posting, We've made quite a number of "builder friendly" modifications/improvements to Dick's fine basic design. The plans have been redrawn on CAD so rib spacing is consistent, PLUS both wings are shown! For a PDF of the revised plan and tex info about the changes, send an 'e' to firstname.lastname@example.com. Roger Marshall (Camden Custom Cutters in Camden SC) ordered enough material for 8 kits, but 6 are claimed, sold, committed...gone. So 2 are available, and more can be provided.
Are there any kits left, if
Are there any kits left, if so how much is it? is the main wing a single 103" or does it come apart - we don't all have mini-vans :) ?
Thermix '13.1
Hi Richard,
Yes, there are kits available. Hopefully, you were able to open the plan image I posted. We made a number of corrections and modifications to Dick's initial CAD drawing...actually re-drew them. The wing can be broken down to as few as 4 sections. I'm going to build mine this fall/winter as a 4' center section plus 2 outer sections--I drive a VW New Bug. The reason for that is I plan to add spoilers in the center section. The kit is available from Roger Marshall of Camden Custom Cutters for $115 + shipping. My CAD drafter redrew the plans, and I ask each builder to send him $25 for a share of his costs. Also, if you want to know more, send me an email, and I can reply with a copy of the info on everything we modified...Denis
Thermix '13.1
I would also be interested in a kit...!
Thermix '13.1 & Thermix '13.2
Jude, Did you ever contact Roger Marshall? Are you still wanting one of the kits? If you are interested, I can send you information about the differences between 13.1 and 13.2 before you commit to buying. Denis

I wish the manager was notified sooner, so I didn't have to go through all this. Old Post Bought a 2007 Yukon from them. 1.5 months later had to replace a filter canaster. 5 mos later found out that because the rims were replaced with the wrong size all the ball joints have to be replaced and front drivers side strut needs to be replaced. Now I have to pay an extra $2000 to fix, and probably have to pay for new rims to fix the problem. I called, emailed and stopped in for assistance, and no response. They think if they don't reply that I'll go away. "

Need even more incentive to peruse your favorite news articles? How about a badge that shows the world how deft you are at scanning from left to right?
Google News has initiated a reward system of awarding different levels of badges for readers of article on the site, according to Google's blog.As a matter of fact, there are 500 badges users can score.
The badges ladder up, from bronze to silver, then gold, platinum and finally, Ultimate. (Sounds a bit like Unobtanium, doesn't it?)
U.S. & World
Now, the badges are kept private -- until you make them public (and the friend up your high school teachers and show them you can be somebody).
Google has bigger plans for the badging scheme, but it's not quite sure what they are just yet:
This is just the first step—the bronze release, if you will—of Google News badges. Once we see how badges are used and shared, we look forward to taking this feature to the next level.
