Indian Will Sponsor the 2019 One Moto Show
Indian continues to extend its tentacles into the US market, and just announced it will be title sponsor of the 2019 One Moto Show in Portland February 8-10. One Show founder Thor Drake will be unveiling an FTR 1200 he designed and customized for this year?s show, and Roland Sands Designs? Super Hooligan race team will be racing aboard the FTR 1200 in The One Pro Super Hooligan Race.
Indian Press Release:
MINNEAPOLIS (December 19, 2018) ? Indian Motorcycle, America?s first motorcycle company, today announced its title sponsorship of the 10th annual One Moto Show in Portland, OR. In celebration of the new partnership, The One Moto Show founder Thor Drake will unveil an Indian FTR 1200 that he designed and customized for this year?s show. The bike will be on display at the show and put through the paces as it will be raced at The One Pro Super Hooligan Race.
Thor Drake celebrates his 2015 Las Vegas Superprestigio victory (aboard a Harley-Davidson XG750).
The One Moto Show was conceived by Drake, owner of See See Motor Coffee Co. Drake wanted to create an event for friends who shared a passion for motorcycles and hosted the first show 10 years ago in an old abandoned foundry in Portland. The event has grown from its humble beginnings to a one-of-a-kind motorcycle show known for showcasing a variety of unique, unconventional bikes and serving as a gathering place for motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world. As title sponsor for its 10th anniversary, Indian Motorcycle will feature a display at The One Moto Show and highlight the highly-anticipated FTR 1200 and the stripped-down, blacked-out Scout Bobber along with a variety of customs by builders like Roland Sands, Carey Hart, and more. ?Thor Drake is a pioneer in the motorcycle industry, continuously challenging the status quo and inspiring ingenuity within our community,? said Reid Wilson, Senior Director for Indian Motorcycle. ?As a brand that has always strived to push motorcycling forward, partnering with Thor and The One Moto Show is a natural fit for us.?
Inspired by Indian Motorcycle?s storied history and success in flat track racing, the FTR 1200 takes design and styling cues from the championship-winning FTR750 race bike that has dominated American Flat Track since it was introduced in 2016. Along with Drake?s custom FTR 1200, RSD?s Super Hooligan race team will compete at The One Pro Race aboard the all-new FTR 1200.
?Indian Motorcycle is an iconic American brand with a rich history in racing. The introduction of the FTR750 and its newer protégé, the FTR 1200, has created shock waves across the globe.? said Thor Drake, Founder of The One Moto Show. ?It?s exciting to work with such a progressive company. I?m thrilled to have th...

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
KnowledgeBase 00010: Object Code Management
This article describes the principles of the mechanisms used to manage object code within QM.
QM uses a virtual machine architecture in which the source program is translated to an instruction set that is then executed by the Run Machine, part of the main QM executable program. This technique enables programs to be moved between different processor types without the need to recompile. It also produces very small programs by comparison with systems in which the program is compiled to the native instruction set of the machine.
The instruction set and the architectural details are not published. There is no decompiler for QM object code and the terms of the software licence preclude development of such a tool by users.
The RUN Command
The simplest way to run a program is by use of the RUN command. The object code is loaded into memory and execution commences. Internally, the RUN command always resolves the name of the program into an operating system pathname.
QM supports three modes of cataloguing; local, private and global.
Local cataloguing is performed using the LOCAL keyword to the CATALOGUE command. A VOC entry is added to point to the compiled program in the compiler output file. If the program is recompiled, there is no need to repeat the CATALOGUE command as the pointer is already in place. If, however, the program is recompiled and has errors, live users of the application would follow the pointer to the now faulty or, perhaps, non-existent object code.
Private cataloguing is performed by using the CATALOGUE command with no mode qualifier. The program is copied to the account's private catalogue directory (cat). There is no VOC pointer from a privately catalogued program. If the program is recompiled, the CATALOGUE command must be repeated to copy the new version to the private catalogue directory. A failed compilation will not affect live users who will continue to use the previous version.
Global cataloguing makes a subroutine available to all accounts and is achieved by using the GLOBAL keyword to the CATALOGUE command or by adding on of the reserved prefix characters listed below to the program's catalogue name. The compiled program is copied to the global catalogue directory (gcat under the QMSYS account). There is no VOC pointer for a globally catalogued item. As with private cataloguing, it is necessary to repeat the CATALOGUE command whenever the program is rebuilt.
For compatibility with other database systems, QM supports a set of reserved prefix characters for a subroutine name that imply that it is in the global catalogue. These are:
Programs with the same name can exist in all three catalogue areas. The search process checks for a program in the order local, private, global unless the name being located commences with one of the reserved global catalogue prefix characters.
Catalogued programs may be executed from the command prompt by typing their catalogue name.
Programs may be catalogued automatically after compilation by including the $CATALOGUE compiler directive in the program or by use of the CATALOGUE element of the $BASIC.OPTIONS record.
The Object Cache
To optimise performance, QM caches object code. When a program or subroutine exits, the object code is not discarded. Instead it is retained in memory cache on the basis that it is likely to be called again fairly soon.
When a request is made to load a program, the object code manager searches the cache to see if the desired program is already in memory. If so, it is moved to the head of the cache. If not, the program is located via the catalogue system or, for a run file, from its operating system file, loaded into memory and added to the head of the cache.
By using the cache, QM can minimise the number of times that programs must be loaded into memory. Under normal operating conditions, all inactive programs are removed from the cache when the process returns to the command prompt. Configuration options described later allow earlier removal of cached programs to reduce memory requirements at the expense of a possible performance degradation caused by the need to reload the program. Programs to be removed are taken from the end of the cache list and are hence the least recently used items.
In a development environment it is important that if one user recompiles a program, another user ceases to use a cached copy of the previous version of the program. To achieve this, the BASIC and CATALOGUE commands both cause all processes to flush inactive programs from their object cache.
How CALL works
The previous sections have used the phrase "inactive programs" several times. So, what is an inactive program? Perhaps it is easier to describe an active program.
The QMBasic language supports two styles of CALL, direct and indirect. An indirect call references a variable that contains the name of the program or subroutine to be called. When the CALL is first executed, the cache and catalogue search mechanisms described above are used to locate the program, loading it into memory if it is not already there. The character string variable holding the subroutine name is then transformed into a subroutine reference variable which contains a pointer to the subroutine in memory. This variable can still be referenced as a string but any operation that changes it will convert it back to a string or other data type, effectively removing the reference to the subroutine. It can therefore be seen that effective use of an indirect calling mechanism should only overwrite the indirection variable when the name of the referenced subroutine is to be changed. Placing the indirection variable in named common may give best performance. The DELETE.COMMON command can be used to remove the variable if necessary.
A direct call is actually compiled as an indirect call using a local hidden indirection variable.
A program is "active" so long as there is at least one subroutine reference variable pointing to its memory image. As soon as the final one is destroyed, the program becomes inactive and is a candidate for removal from memory.
Configuration Parameters
The object code management system is affected by two configuration parameters. These take their initial value from the configuration file but can be changed within a QM session using the CONFIG command.
The OBJECTS configuration parameter restricts the number of inactive programs that will be retained in cached memory. The OBJMEM configuration parameter restricts the total size of inactive programs that will be retained in cached memory, specified in multiples of 1kb. For example, a value of 1024 would sets a 1Mb limit. For both parameters, a value of zero implies no limit.
When a program that is not already in memory is required to be loaded, the system checks whether the total number of loaded programs exceeds the value of the OBJECTS parameter. It also checks whether the total size of the loaded programs exceeds the value of the OBJMEM parameter. If either condition is met, the inactive programs that have not been referenced for longest are discarded to bring the cache below the limit set by these parameters.
Flushing the Object Cache
For most systems, the caching mechanism described above is adequate. An inactive program will be flushed from the cache if it is recompiled or recatalogued.
In some situations, particularly in development environments, it may be desirable to force reload of all programs, including active ones, when the program is recompiled or recatalogued. This can be achieved by setting the FORCE.RELOAD mode of the OPTION command in the process that is to have object code loaded in this way (which is probably not the process in which the compilation or catalogue operation was performed).
The effect of setting this option is that when a process is notified that a program has been recompiled or recatalogued, all subroutine links within that process are discarded, forcing reload of the object code on the next call to the subroutine. Note that this reloads all subroutines, not just the one that has been updated. Use of this option carries the risk that a simple loop that calls a subroutine may call a different version of the routine on successive iterations of the loop.

You know, in Left 4 Dead, I often find myself saying, "Hey, self, where are Zoey's boobs at?" Well, Resident Evil 5 has an insta-boob-location feature that always put Sheva's ta-tas in the frame.
As you can see, not only will the Boob Locator re-center the camera on Sheva's cans, it will also circle her bazongas with a reticle and then, if you are still unclear as to the precise location of her funbags, it will reposition her knockers in better lighting so that you can always be 100 percent certain of where Sheva's sweater balloons are at all times.

One of the passengers in a three-vehicle accident Wednesday evening on Interstate 85 remained hospitalized Friday morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
One of the passengers in a three-vehicle accident Wednesday evening on Interstate 85 remained hospitalized Friday morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
Paul Kelly Ort, 33, of Charlotte, was listed in good condition, a hospital spokeswoman said. Ort, who was a passenger in a 2004 Mazda, was one of six patients to be transported to local hospitals.
The accident occurred on Interstate 85 North near milemarker 90 at 5:48 p.m.
The Mazda, driven by 29-year-old Nicole Alexandria Ort, was traveling north on Interstate 85 in the left lane while a 2002 Hyundai, driven by 35-year-old Ashuna Urika Perrin of Cary, was traveling in front of it. The Hyundai was traveling in the roadway and halfway on the shoulder.
Timothy Tobias Johnson, 47, of Charlotte, driving a 2012 Ford, also was traveling north on Interstate 85 in the center lane. The Mazda, troopers determined, while traveling at 70 miles per hour when it collided in the rear of the Hyundai. The Mazda then traveled into the center lane and was struck from the rear by the Ford. The three vehicles came to rest in the median.
Trooper M.A. Leonard noted in a report that the Hyundai was traveling at approximately 10 mph due to a flat tire. The trooper further stated that vehicle 2 had pulled off the roadway into the median then back onto the travel portion of the highway where the collision occurred.
Nicole Ort, two of Ort's passengers, 6-year-old Conner Ort and 11-year-old Aryan Ort, as well as Ashuna Perrin, Perrin's passenger, Lula Perrin Widmon, 63, of Greenville, S.C., were taken to Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center. A LMC spokeswoman said the Orts, with the exception of Aryan, were treated and released. The spokeswoman said Aryan was transferred to Brenner Children's Hospital at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. However, a WFBMC spokeswoman had no information on Aryan around noon Friday.
Lexington Fire Department Fire Commander Andy Beck said Wednesday evening that the crash had no patients who were trapped or ejected.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the N.C. Highway Patrol, said contributing circumstances in the crash for Nicole Ort was inattention and for Perrin was the flat tire and pulling back into the travel lane. Kearns said Perrin was charged with driving with no operator's license.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Wednesday night, MIT men's and women's fencing conducted the Third Annual Beanpot, hosting Boston College, Brandeis University and Harvard University for competition in duPont Gymnasium. It was a disappointing night for the Engineers, who went 0-3, while Harvard University dominated and captured its second-straight title.
Following his stellar performance at the New England Championships, sophomore Ben Nield (7-2) had another solid evening and led the way for the Engineers. Sophomore Daniel Levine (5-4) also contributed well for the foil team, while Richard LaGrandier (2-4) and Alexander Siy (0-3) struggled.
Freshman Jackson Crane (5-4) was the only other Engineer to post a winning record. Carter Chang (4-5), Javier Ordonez (0-6) and Damon Henry (0-3) rounded out the epee contingent.

I'm sorry your patient's cheapshit insurance doesn't cover podiatrists.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to start doing foot surgery.
I'm a neurologist. So please stop sending referrals like this to me.
Thank you,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Is there a podiatrist that shares your last name? I know we have about 25 Patels in various specialties at my hospital and people get mixed up all the time.
They are covering their bases, Head to Toe...maybe they heard the word Neuroma and thought Neurologist?
Bunions have nothing to do with neuromas. Besides, that isn't even a proper diagnosis - no wonder insurance isn't reimbursing them... :/
Maybe they have an alphabetical list of specialist (by name) and you are just before or after the podiatrist?
I don't know, Grump. If you could use a new influx of business maybe you ought to think about this one. I'm no doctor (you have to go to school or something like that), but I'm thinking that there can't be that much difference between brains and feet. Look at politicians and the stuff they do!
I could kind of see an ad campaign - Doctor Grumpy! The top and bottom of medical science in one convenient location. Ask about our two-fer Tuesday special - two feet for the price of one.
Hey, just call me crazy but I'm thinking there's a real breakthrough here.
Mad Jack is onto something.
Perhaps you could interview people about their feelings of being ostracized because of their big feet, encourage them to feel better about themselves and relax more, thus relieving their bunion pains!
You guys are just reading it wrong. It very clearly says poubion as the reason for referral. The definition is:The union operator that combines the two inputs into a single stream. It's obviously something neurlogical!!!

HIGH-POWERED row-crop tractors rated over 150 hp are in high demand this year. According to Jason Hoult, product manager for AGCO Corporation, sales in this market segment were up more than 30% in 2008 and remain strong this year.
Tractors in this class offer the power of the larger-framed 4-wd tractors but in a narrow fixed frame configuration designed for navigating between the rows.
"It's really the main tractor on the farm, and the rest of the product line follows it," Hoult says. "Farmers make their purchase decisions around the big, high-horsepower row-crop tractor, and it allows us to demonstrate our dealer service and product capability. For tractor makers, it's the price of admission in the Corn and Wheat Belts."
We've compiled summaries and specs for these tractors to help you make your best buy, whether you're looking for a bare-bones workhorse or an optioned-up office cruiser.
AGCO says its newly designed DT series tractors are built to support conservation of resources, strong environmental stewardship, and strong performance and endurance.
The series features four models that range from 205 to 275 PTO hp. The new AGCO Sisu Power 8.4-liter engine is equipped with e3 clean air technology, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, to significantly reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulates. The e3 trademark stands for energy, economy and ecology.
The standard-equipment continuously variable transmission (CVT), coupled with the Dynamic Tractor Management system, makes it easier for the tractor to run constantly at the most efficient engine rpm while maintaining high productivity.
A one-piece hood gives easy access to the engine and improves forward visibility. A new sculpted chassis, with a new front axle, provides a solid foundation for the DT series tractors. And the front axle is heavier, with larger final drives for strength to handle larger draft loads and weight.

Case IH's mid- to high-horsepower row-crop tractors fall under its Magnum series lineup. Nine models make up the series, ranging from 150 to 275 PTO hp. The line's newest model, the Magnum 225, comes standard with a new Case IH CVT. The CVT is available as an option on the Magnum 180, 190 and 210 models.
The company claims its CVT is easier to operate than others because it requires no programming or complicated settings. It automatically adjusts to deliver the best balance of power and fuel efficiency when working at field speeds pulling a load.
The Magnum series engine continues to be rated for up to 100% biodiesel blend when used with approved Case IH maintenance procedures.
Case IH claims its Surveyor cab is one of the larger and quieter cabs in the industry with 360° visibility. The new MultiControl Armrest, the latest in Case IH tractor-control technology, is standard in the Magnum 180, 190, 210 and 225 series tractors. It simplifies operation — including speed, hydraulics, and hitch functions — by putting the controls in one easily accessible location at the operator's fingertips. Adding the optional, integrated joystick provides simultaneous control of optional third mid-mount implements, such as a loader grapple.
The Magnum tractors feature a sculpted front end that allows a 16-ft. turning radius with typical row-crop tires.

The MT700C is a track tractor series designed for row-crop work, tillage and transport applications. Available with a choice of track widths and belt sizes, the tractors can match almost any row width, soil type, farming practice or cropping program. Two models offer engine horsepower ratings of 301 and 320.
Features of the MT700C series include a new digital dash display that indicates selected gear, ground speed and service hours; a redesigned Tractor Management Center console that provides simpler, more intuitive operation; a new hydraulics system with a higher degree of control, higher flow and greater adaptability; and an integrated ISOBUS control system. The tractors are sold, serviced and backed by Caterpillar dealers.

The Challenger MT600C series offers four models that range from 205 to 275 PTO hp. The series features an all-new TechStar CVT, which provides infinitely variable forward speed selection up to 31 mph. A feature called Power Management automatically coordinates the engine and transmission to minimize rpm, maximize power to the ground and optimize fuel economy.
AGCO says the tractors' new e3 clean air technology treats exhaust to meet Tier 3 and future EPA standards while providing undiminished horsepower and torque and fuel efficiency that is up to 15% better than that of competitive models.
The four-post cab Pinnacle View is surrounded by 67 sq. ft. of glass for a 360° view and is 28% larger than the previous model. The Challenger Tractor Management Center puts command of nearly every implement and tractor function at the operator's fingertips.

The new Fendt six-model 900 series tractors range from 220 to 360 engine hp. The tractors use a Deutz 7.4-liter, 6-cyl. engine that, coupled with the stepless Vario CVT and the Tractor Management System, provides good fuel efficiency, according to the company. Compared to earlier-generation tractors, they feature an advanced-design chassis and hood for more maneuverability and a larger, more comfortable cab. Other features include increased biodiesel compatibility and the ability to fit some of the largest tires available.
The fourth-generation Fendt-designed independent-suspension front axle flexes nearly 12 in. This extended travel keeps both front wheels on the ground and pulling, even in rough conditions. The independent suspension contributes to a tight turning radius of only 20 ft. for the 18.5-ft. model 922 Vario.

John Deere's new 8R series launched in August is John Deere's replacement to the 8030 series, the most fuel-efficient row-crop tractors ever built, according to Nebraska Tractor Test Lab results. The series consists of six wheeled models ranging from 225 to 345 engine hp and three track models from 295 to 345 engine hp. The 345-hp 8345R is the most powerful row-crop tractor John Deere has ever built.
Deere says its new series offers more horsepower, good fuel economy, and a redesigned cab with 10% more space and more features. These include a premium sound package, redesigned control arm, easy-to-read display and an instructor seat that converts into a desk for a laptop or storage. Visibility is improved with the addition of more glass and repositioned cab supports.
The 8RT series track models are new from the ground up, featuring a new track suspension system for upgraded ride comfort and capabilities. For the first time, Deere is making its IVT available on its track tractors, offering it as standard on the 8345 RT and optional on all other models, enabling the operator to smoothly shift from 0 to 24 mph, or any speed in between, with a single lever. The track line also features John Deere's exclusive Air Cushion Suspension system, first made available on the company's larger 9030T series track tractors, to provide better vehicle traction as well as operator comfort.

The brand-new McCormick TTX series is the largest tractor series in the McCormick lineup, ranging from 180 to 213 engine hp. McCormick says the three models in the series — the TTX 190, the TTX 210, and the TTX 230 — have a commonsense, straightforward design to allow operators to easily acclimate themselves to their operating features.
Unlike similar tractors in its class, the TTX is a full-framed tractor designed to absorb stressful loader work and tillage over rough terrain to improve operator comfort and extend tractor life. The front axle offers a steering angle of 55° for maneuverability in tight areas.
Cab features include a four-post design for all-around visibility, a deluxe air seat, ergonomically friendly controls, and an efficient heating and cooling system. McCormick claims that the tractors' dashboard diagnostics system offers a more comprehensive set of simple diagnostic tests than most competitor brands do, so that operators can easily identify problems and resolve them quickly.

Nitto Terra Grappler Review - In Sheep's ClothingPosted in How To on June 1, 2013
Having us Jeep-obsessed meatheads at Jp test and evaluate anything but the most aggressive, loud, big-tread, block-wearing mud tires is generally like leading the lambs to slaughter. We are used to growling tires that are barely balanced and are only occasionally in contact with the road. We don't usually worry about how a tire balances, wears, or sounds while running down the highway, as if we could hear them over the flap of a soft top and rock-damaged mufflers! Despite knowing this, Nitto bravely sent us a set of its Terra Grappler All-Terrain Light Truck Radials for a long-term review, and surprisingly, we are pretty impressed with their on- and off-road performance. We've been running a set of D-rated LT295/70R17 Terra Grapplers on our '01 WJ Laredo for almost a year now. The Jeep is our Swiss Army knife and gets used for everything from hitting milder rock trails, mud, snow, ice, sand, to towing, runs to the airport, and occasionally the quick trip to the grocery store. These tires do it all and do almost everything well.
Around town we tried to keep the air pressure on these tires at about 32 psi. This seemed to give the best contact patch with our relatively light Grand Cherokee. Driving our WJ down the highway on the Terra Grapplers results in a slight hum (as if we are good judges of road noise, as previously mentioned). The tires balanced relatively easily and have had no balance issues or punctures so far. What little water, snow, and ice we see in the Southwest has been handled by the Terra Grapplers with ease and grace. The deep siping and lateral tread voids do their job grabbing on ice and clearing standing water, respectively. Despite our lack of maintenance and generally unrealistic expectation that these tires can and will handle all we toss at them, Our Trail Grapplers are still going strong and showing almost no wear.
The mild looking tread is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. These things get grip where you might not expect traction from an all-terrain. Off-road we usually air the tires down to 10-12 psi. The tires grip loose sand and silt well, and despite the relatively short sidewalls, soak up the bumps while blasting down our favorite back country dirt roads. In dry dusty trails and on the occasional rock, we were very pleased with the traction afforded by these mild looking all-terrains. Okay, these are not the best tires for your dedicated rockcrawler or mudder, but they are perfect for our Grand and would fit the bill for most Jeeps used primarily on the road with reliable traction if you do venture off the beaten asphalt. Not surprisingly, thick mud fills the smallish voids between tread blocks, but the tread did clear quickly with a little wheel speed. The large, staggered outer shoulder lugs do a great job of grabbing dirt, mud, and sand. We have noticed some small nicks on the tires from rocks. That's hard to blame on the tires and is probably more related to our abusive nature.
Great wet traction on-road, supple tread grips well off-road, tread has worn well for mileage accrued
Mud, relatively thin sidewalls may be a liability on the trail
Put 'em on:
Tow rig
Daily driver/weekend warrior Jeep that sees lots of highway time
Drivers who don't like loud tires, but need decent off-road performance

Is "Sell-Out" My Middle Name???
Don't get me wrong here, I don't mind the shift toward product placement. Not even a little bit. It can even be entertaining, as long as it fits into the story. It can be as blatant and obvious as 30 Rock's McFlurry episode (which, paid for or not, was sheer marketing genius!). And, which I might add, made my mouth water for the almighty McFlurry. Well played, advertising gurus…well played!
So, where does this product placement end, I wonder? Surely not with TV and movies. When will we see it bleeding into the pages of the books we love? And, more importantly, do we care?
As an author would I be willing to change the soda that my characters drink based on a check I receive from PepsiCo? Or to change a setting to a certain fast food joint just for some extra change in my pockets? I don't know…maybe? How much are we talkin'???
What about the covers? Those beautifully crafted covers that we drool over? Should there be ad space for sale on those? Banner ads? Logos?
I don't know…that may be too far even for me (and those of you who know me understand that "too far" is not a phrase I know well).
So, maybe "Sell-Out" is not my middle name. But I'm not ruling out "Coke" or "Charmin" or "Skittle", you know, if the price is right….

I'm just glad that I can finally write (without being called a sellout) the "tell all" book titled THE ADVENTURES OF THE DURACELL BUNNY! The world will FINALLY learn the real, unedited, hard-hitting story about this creepy little bunny! I may have to go into hiding once its out though. :)

Definitely an interesting thing to think about. And when I saw that picture of E.T. I almost died, he scares the hell out of me!

What a great post! In the first page of my book I mention Sunny D and Pop Tarts, and someone criticized me for choosing the easy way out (when apparently I should have said jelly filled toaster pastries and orange flavored corn syrup crap - his words, not mine!).
That, and I didn't even get paid for it! Not to consider myself a sell-out, but heck ya I'd use Pepsi's name instead of the word soda, not only for the check (which would probably equal more than an advance!), but for the specificity of it.
While watching ET lately with my kids, I also noticed the blatant product placement of Raid - which seemed really out of place and obvious - and the generic soda cans, which would have seemed less obvious had they been some brand. I think ET is the first movie I remember that did that kind of product placement.
Phew! Long comment! Sorry! I loved this post, though. Some really good things to talk about.

OMG, Alea, I started cracking up when I read your post! I'm sorry I scared you. Ha!
Heidi, I name things all the time. People would have a difference reaction to "jelly filled toaster pastries" than to Pop Tarts. Think about it, branding is a part of our culture, and those products smart enough to have made a name for themselves deserve the credit, right?

HAHA! I don't know why I'm still afraid of him but I am! We used to (probably still do) have this little E.T. keychain (why!?!?), and my little sister would hide it in my room. She was evil! And then one time she put the tape in downstairs and turned it up really loud so I would have to hear it, pure evil I tell you!

i couldnt do pepsi but Id sell out to Coke or maybe Mac. I think Id have to like the product and it would have to fit with my character. Maybe hershey would pay me in chocolate?
- March 6, 2009 at 5:23 PM
- PJ Hoover said...
The few product names I have, I normally put in for personal reasons - like it's something special to me for one various reason or another.
But that said, money does talk :)
- March 6, 2009 at 7:31 PM
- Kimberly Derting said...
Ok, Shelli, paid in chocolate? Now that's an idea! If you don't call Hershey, I will!!! ;)
PJ, I don't actually have many either, but if it comes down to what Heidi was saying about calling something a "jelly filled toaster pastry" or a Pop Tart, I think Pop Tart will actually mean more to people. Or maybe just change it to "toast", right?

This cracked me up! I try not to name things directly in my book, but shoot! Maybe I should!
I def wouldn't reserve cover space for advertising... but I'd consider maybe blog space. Pepsi? Pizza Hut? Anyone?

We'll explain. A source at Us Weekly tells us MTV execs loved the cover- and the storyline matched exactly what they're promoting for the "Hills" season opener on March 24. Then, we're told, Audrina freaked. She was having a "very emotional week" (naked pictures and all) and we hear "went into a rage" when she read the article.
Our source says Lauren, scared to lose her BF, posted the blog as an olive branch to Audrina. Problem is, Us Weekly is probably the only mag that cares enough to put LC et al on the cover. Lauren's even admitted publicly that Us is responsible for the ratings success of the show. Talking a bunch of smack on her blog about the mag is probably not exactly the best idea.
So, trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube, LC has just issued the following statement, to
LC, suffering from foot in mouth disease.

text: Create A Brand That Builds Business February 26, 2014 10:33 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email A farm's brand affects everything from input costs to the ability to acquire farmland and employees. Creating a brand for the farm is an important business decision. "Your brand is reputation capital," explains Brett Oelke, a University of Minnesota Extension agricultural business expert. The question for producers, he says, is whether they manage and intentionally create their farm brand or let it occur on its own. "Everything and everybody is a brand," says Oelke, who also owns Innovus Agra LLC—a farm and agribusiness marketing and management consulting firm. "Brand marketing is part of an overall business plan." Learn more, download speaker presentations and read complete conference coverage at www.TopProducerSeminar.com. Growth-oriented producers have a stake in the image they choose to present to their customers, both internal and external. Internal customers include employees, business partners and family members, while external customers include landlords, suppliers, seed customers, grain buyers and other farmers for whom you provide custom work. One benefit of a positive brand is the ability to get a low price for inputs fast. It's important to focus on developing a positive brand because "businesses talk to other businesses about customers," Oelke says, noting that it's in your best interest to be highly regarded by suppliers. Farmers aren't the only ones who are cost conscious. Suppliers also want to keep their transaction costs low; they don't want 40 phone calls to discuss price. While loyalty to suppliers is good, Oelke says sometimes it makes sense to deal with more than one. Take bankers—if one decides to pull back on ag loans, you need to have a backup, Oelke says. In creating a positive brand, don't neglect the importance of being organized. This will help you and your suppliers be as efficient as possible, he says. With buyers of your commodities, "you want to be the go-to person, or at least a strong No. 2," Oelke says. For example, one producer was able and willing to deliver 15,000 bu. of corn to an ethanol plant in January when it was –15° and a blizzard. "Basis had been 25¢ to 35¢ under the board, but he got 15¢ over," Oelke says. Differentiate yourself from the competition. Once you've got a strong positive image, you have to promote your brand. Show that you are valued and trusted to non-farm siblings, Oelke says. "They need some of your time and understanding," he says. "The people we need the most, we sometimes neglect the most. Many farmers do a poor job of sharing information with those who can make their lives miserable later." Brand yourself with landlords and prospective landlords, he recommends. While money is important to them, it's not always at the top of their list, he adds. Through actions and your communications, create the image that you are a good steward by taking care of their resource. Equally—if not more—important is trust. "If you want to find out how important trust is, start talking to landlords about flex-land leases," Oelke says. "That takes a great deal of trust on the landlord's part." Communication is crucially important with landlords, yet many landlords only hear from tenants one or two times a year, he says. However, landlords say they would like to hear from tenants four to 10 times a year. To help keep landlords informed, Oelke is a big believer in newsletters. But there are other options. For some, it might be as simple as sending a text in the spring saying you're ready to go to their field next. For others, in-person meetings might be more appropriate. "It's called public relations," Oelke says. Back to news

A lot of our stories begin as tips from readers. (Have any? Send 'em here!) Sometimes, these tips don't pan out for one reason or another. Here are a bunch of emails we got in 2012 that never turned into stories, either because we couldn't confirm them or because they were so utterly ridiculous we didn't even bother to try. Everything sic.
Subject: [NFL team] gambling/sex party 9/14/2012....anonymous tip.
here's the rundown on the poker party last night. This time it wasn't at [REDACTED] house like I was originally told, it was at [REDACTED] home and it was a cheap ghetto nightmare!! Music so loud you couldn't even hear yourself think, sticky drinks filled w cheap alcohol spilled all over his basement floor. The ugliest broads slinking around sucking & f!cking for $600-$700. There was a train being ran on 2 girls (1 black girl named "mocha" & 1 Hispanic girl named "sequoia"- yes like the tree) upstairs in 1 of the bedrooms. A naked blonde girl was thrown onto a bed by some random black dude and covered w blanket. I hope she was passed out and not about to be raped. From what I could tell [REDACTED] did not go home w anybody BUT he was sighted making out w an EXTREMELY YOUNG looking blonde girl as we were leaving. He also was particpating in MASSIVE gambling & losing HUGE amounts of money at the card table playing spades or hi/low. In fact his teammate [REDACTED] took his money, [REDACTED] money, [REDACTED] money, and some other players money as well and left w a gigantic stack of cash worth approx $30k. The "security guards" from [REDACTED] were absolutely NO HELP at all in controlling the situation. I found them to be obnoxious, lazy, and Stupid. In fact, The tall one was spotted paying multiple prostitutes out of a bank bag at [REDACTED] request. I truly wish ppl could have seen the scabs at this party. Nasty skinny tattooed beasts that [REDACTED] booked out from Houston apparently & were bragging about staying at the [REDACTED] hotel by [REDACTED] airport.
Poker party part 2..... To be honest [REDACTED] looked very out of place and pissy after he lost his money and saw that the talent level was LOOOOW. he just went w what was cheap & easy bc a lot of ppl were looking at him w that girl like "wtf"??! Sighted players were: [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED] (that was the guy that won everybody's money and left), And i want to say [REDACTED] but im not completely sure. I wish I knew the other players names but there were soooo many random ppl it was difficult to catch everybody's identity. I anonymously tipped this story because I didn't fly out there from Vegas for this bullshit and to hang out with a ton of dirty random scum, nasty street walkers, cheap ball players, low rent fake security guards in the middle of [REDACTED]. P.s. there was a girl there who kept telling everybody she was an ex Dallas cowboys cheerleader and when I figure out her name, I'll expose her cheap bum ass too.
P.s.s if you want to know the name of the girl who booked the scabs, her name is tori, lives in vegas, and she works closely w a someone named alex, alec, Alexa or something bc I saw her texting someone w that name on her phone ALOT. If anybody knows a Vegas host that is close w [REDACTED] who goes by that name, feel free to expand on this one.
Subject: Bryce Harper Pics
A friend of mine has pics of Bryce Harper nearly nude (boxers, only wearing a towel, etc.). She has recently discovered news of his girl friend (I think a BYU soccer player?) and so she may be willing to offer them. The pics are somewhat provactive and were sent specifically for her (so she thinks at least). I'm sure she has text to go along with the pics. The pics are definitely of him, with clear face shots. Was wondering if there was any interest on Deadspin's part? The pics aren't your usual dong pics of athletes, but they certainly go along with the douche persona that Harper has given himself.
Subject: AFFAIR WITH CELEB. PROOF AND PICS.
I've been having an affair with a married celebrity. I have over two thousand emails between him and I. Very, very detailed conversations and pictures. We're breaking up and well...nothing like a woman scorned.. I've always been an avid reader of yours so I thought I'd give you first dibs.
Subject: Lane Kiffin - Affair
A great friend of mine told me this morning that her best friend is sleeping with Lane Kiffin at USC. The name of the girl is [REDACTED] formerly a USC student and 22 year old. She is also [REDACTED]. Apparently [REDACTED] is [REDACTED] and they frequently meet at a local hotel. Coach Kiffin makes her dress in a disguise. I trust my friend dearly. She came out and told me without coaxing because 'she had to get it off of her chest because it's wrong'.
Subject: Hip Hop Mayor Can Be Saved By Who's Who Of Rap And Sporting Word
Dear Editor-
I have a scoop involving the Hip Hop Mayor who is on trial facing what amounts to a life sentence (70+ years) and the fact he can be acquited if he calls rappers Jay Z, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and athletes ranging from Kobe Bryant to and others etc (and one troubled basketball player and his criminal past). to testify. It will reveal a scandal involving those rappers, several prominent DC and Ottawa, Canada politicians, FBI, the Kardashian family, Martha Stewart, and Paris Hilton and dozens of other rappers and Hollywood celebs. I can pass on details and documentation at your request.

Subject: NFL QB with openly gay brother
Would you guys be interested in knowing about a prominent NFL starting qb who has an openly gay brother?
Subject: Tim Tebow is Gay and I have a NAME to go with the claim.
I am from Florida and have been working with a friend for a while now who is gay and from Utah. A couple of weeks ago he came to me and said "He had a secret he wanted to tell" I said ok. He proceeded to tell me how he had a friend who lived in Utah but went to University of Florida, and how he went on a date with the guy and later just became friends. This guy told my friend how at UF he was in a relationship with Tim Tebow and that they are still in a relationship. Then The guy proceeded to tell my friend how he was moving to Denver and that Tim was lonely and needed his companion.
Well I didn't believe it (even though I always thought Tim he was gay anyway) so I started researching the guys name that my friend told me. His Facebook page confirmed most of his location history and his timeline showed that he moved to Denver and now magically Is moving to NY! The guy is a nurse in NY now and somehow affords a high-rise apartment looking over the city, he has pics of him with stars...cause every average nurse lives in a fancy highrise in Manhattan and gets photos taken with Oprah..lol
Well a few days ago his Facebook page was taken down and he changed his name on Facebook. My friend at work contacted him and he said that Tim wants him to lay low right now because something happened and he needs to make sure they don't get caught. Apparently Timmy is extremely stealth about this stuff, of course cause let's face it If Time Tebow came out it would be bigger than 9/11..lol. An entire media lock-down!
I have the guys name and more info and I want to see what type of deal we can make. Let me know
Subject: Pacquiao's mistress
My friend lives in the Park La Brea apartments in LA near The Grove at 6200 W 3rd St.
He says Manny Pacquiao is frequently seen inside the building and that the rumor among his neighbors is that his mistress lives there.

This weekend the 183. Oktoberfest on the Theresienwiese in Munich will begin! Today we present three properties that could not be more different. Whether in the middle of the event and not far from the "Wiesn" or in an idyllic location just outside of Munich – there is something for everyone's taste.
Stylish apartment in walking distance to the Theresienwiese
The fantastic apartment is located in the Ludwigsvorstadt, which has developed to a trending neighbourhood over the last years. Especially known for the Oktoberfest, the biggest folk festival in the world, this district leads more than six million visitors to the "Theresienwiese" to participate in the "Wiesn" every year.
The refurbished and completely furnished apartment is reached by a glass elevator which leads to the different floors. With a ceiling height of approx. 2.70 m, high-quality parquet flooring made of massive oak and generous windows, this apartment is flooded with natural light. On 100 m² the property comprises an open plan living and dining area, two bedrooms, one bathroom and a second bathroom for guests. A real highlight is the large terrace, in addition to two balconies that create generous outdoor areas. E&V ID: W-025OKQ
Country Residence with Private Woodland
Situated in an absolutely idyllic, secluded location between Munich and Tegernsee, this exceptional and substantial property affords delightful views over the Alpine peaks. The land plot spans some 25,400 m², half of which is cleared and half of which is woodland. In addition to the main house there is a spacious guesthouse, three garages, stables, a swimming pool with a bathhouse and a tennis court with a small pavilion. This dwelling is absolutely ideal for anyone seeking tranquillity and the convenience of good connections to Munich and the airport, as well as to the Tegernsee lake and the mountains. The estate would also make a beautiful rural haven for family life and holidays. The numerous outbuildings offer ample space and could be used for a variety of uses. The amenities on offer also lend themselves to the rearing of horses. E&V ID: W-021FBT
A Dream in White in Waldtrudering
This luxurious residence, built in a striking Bauhaus style, is situated at a very peaceful address in the desirable Munich neighbourhood known as Waldtrudering. It is particularly impressive for its split-level design and its large, light-flooded interior spaces. The living room alone spans some 94 m2 in size. Extensive renovation work was carried out in 2012 and 2013, culminating in the creation of the 'Villa in White'. A designer kitchen fitted with high-end appliances was installed, and all the bathrooms in the house were fully refurbished. The option is also available to reinstate a pool area in the property's home spa. With a total interior of approx. 516 m2, there is also ample scope here for combining work and home life under one roof. Shielded from the road, this property also affords uncompromised privacy to its residents. E&V ID: W-024HOO

All lanes of I-15 reopened after bridge fire
HESPERIA, Calif. (AP) — Traffic was flowing again on both sides of a major California-to-Nevada interstate after being blocked by a bridge fire that stalled travelers and left charred wreckage slumping into lanes.
Southbound lanes of Interstate 15 in the Mojave Desert town of Hesperia were reopened at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, Caltrans spokeswoman Terri Kasinga said early Wednesday.
"This was way ahead of schedule," she said. Officials had set a Wednesday morning target for reopening.
Northbound lanes were opened about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The route is a major artery between Southern California and Las Vegas.
The uncompleted overpass, located 60 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, caught fire Monday afternoon when a blowtorch being used to cut metal reinforcing bars ignited support timbers. Winds gusting to 35 mph fanned the flames.
Traffic was stalled for hours as the enormous structure burned through the night. Firefighters struggled to battle flames raging deep in the temporary wooden support structure. They contended with the winds, the danger of collapse and a limited water supply.
By morning, huge girders sagged onto the interstate below. Crews used heavy equipment to drag collapsed remnants out of lanes, but they also had to cut smaller reinforcing bars apart by hand. Tons of wood and steel were removed.
The freeway pavement was not badly damaged by the fire, officials said.

Blue diaper bag
Added Apr 1, 2011
Stanford, South ...
I made this for my cousin's girlfriend's baby shower. This is the first diaper bag I've made. I thought they were supposed to be gigantic, but this might be a bit too big (20 × 30 × 50cm) She did receive other smaller bags as well so this can be used for longer trips.
There's pockets on the front of the bag and inside. There's 3 elasticated pockets on the inside for bottles on the inside. I put 2 keyring holders in, one for keys and one for a dummy. I added padding to the centre of the broad strap to make it more comfortable. The flap has thick padding to give it shape and can even be used as a changing mat in an emergency.
I've always wanted to try different prints together and these stripes and flowers go together perfectly.

Thank you. At first I wasn't going to take the flower fabric because the baby is a boy. But my mom reminded me the bag is for the mom, not the baby :) And I later found out turquoise is her favourite colour.

Julio Lugo is glad he's in Boston:
I didn't make a mistake coming here. The mistake would have been wanting to leave here. I got booed, but I don't blame the fans. I understood them. ... [It was] a transition that everyone has to go through - new team, new city, new teammates ... Things will be different this time around.Manny Delcarmen will get an opportunity to close games here and there.
Sean Casey says he can play the outfield in an emergency:
Such as the city of Boston being on fire. ... [Francona] said I'd probably pinch run before I play the outfield. ... We'll see.Note: Casey has never pinch-run and has a mere 17 stolen bases in 11 seasons.
Rob Bradford chats with J.D. Drew and like all of his stories, this one includes nuggets that other writers don't get. Drew talks about using Bobby Kielty's bat in Games 5 and 6 of the ALCS. (Yesterday, it was Josh Beckett's journal.)
Manny Ramirez is the 7th member of the 2008 Red Sox to have Scott Boras as his agent, joining Drew, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jason Varitek, Alex Cora, Craig Hansen and Julian Tavarez.
Steve Buckley asks:
Has there ever been a major leaguer who played on five World Series-winning teams but never played for the Yankees?There is one. Stuffy McInnis: three with the Philadelphia Athletics (1910, 1911, 1913) and one each with the Red Sox (1918) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1925).
Mike Timlin has played on four: two in Toronto (1992, 1993) and two in Boston (2004, 2007). He could join McInnis if the Red Sox repeat.
Timlin admitted he had no idea who McInnis was, "but Wake may have played with him".

Bathroom Window Treatments & Bathroom Blinds
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

Hop flavor and bittering can be transferred via the yeast into the subsequent ferment. Color and roastiness can also be transferred via the yeast. I've pitched onto yeast cake before and it works well as long as you don't work from hoppy to malty or from dark to light beers. I guess I would also avoid going from a spiced beer to non-spiced to avoid that flavor carry over.
You might be over pitching, but if the original beer isn't infected, reusing the yeast cake won't infect the next one.
Quote from: mainebrewer on July 12, 2012, 11:45:48 AMYou might be over pitching, but if the original beer isn't infected, reusing the yeast cake won't infect the next one."Might be" overpitching? Probably over pitching by 6Xs the amount. Maybe 8. The other concern is how much dead yeast you will be carrying over from previous batch. Not going to be a huge problem on first generation but on consecutive gens it can become a problem.Not saying it can't be done and you may even have great results but you will have more consistent results if you pitch an "appropriate" amount. Usually, when I got ontop of an existing yeast cake it is only one gen and from a very low grav. beer to a very high.
Well, I've done it many times before (as well as countless other people) and in my experience you will get better results, and much more consistent results by using a portion of the cake. Also, the "braun hefe" or brown, dried yeast on the sides of your carboy is something you are really better cleaning off. It has bitter, harsh hop compounds and dead yeast you really don't want in your beer.I'm not a big fan of pitching directly on a yeast cake, especially not a low gravity beer. You are better off, IME, going with a portion of the slurry and a clean fermenter.

My suggestion is to figure out all the instances where you use a long word where a short word works just as well and to learn to use short words in those instances.
Simple: Wait until your LRW Professor TELLS you how they want you to write.If you aren't in school yet, then don't waste your time learning bad habits that will have to be UNLEARNED once you get in school. Two Law Professors at the same school will require different things from their students during the course of the semester.

Not sure that can be changed too much (in my mind) unless there's more territories added (which I don't think you should do).
I'm not too fond of continents with bonuses larger than their territory count. Or, quite large compared to it. Which you have here in a couple places I think.
OK edbeard....Version 4 changes the bonuses a little...reduces Tanis to 3 and increases Alexandria to 4.
