Data Entry
Before you can process any registrations, A/R Cash must be open.
Batches are created by date, and there will be multiple batches for each date. The batch numbers always begin with the year/month/day followed by the next batch number available for that date.
- Each registration batch has a green or blue control sheet attached to it.
- You will need to open the batch listed in the top right corner of the control sheet. In order to do this:
- Click on A/R Cash icon
- Click on Manage Batches
- Click open
- Type in batch number listed on transaction sheet
- On the left hand side you will notice a number of different batches.
- To locate your batch, click on the word open or find and type in your batch number next to the word Batch, hit enter.
- Once you have located your batch, reconfirm that the control amount matches the total amount on your control sheet.
- Close the window by clicking on the X
Your batch is now open and ready for entry.
Most individuals will probably have a record in the Name Maintenance database (which is our main database). To begin the data entry process, you must first try and locate this individual in our database. There are few ways you can search for an individual.
- Press Ctrl F or click on Find in the Customer Window to bring up name search

HANG TIME, Texas — After attacking the rim and filling up the basket last week in Reno, Damion James became the first player to get a call-up after the NBA D-League Showcase and will join the Nets on Sunday night when they host Indiana.
A 2010 draft pick by Atlanta, the 6-foot-7 James was asked what he could bring back to the NBA.
"Heart," he said. "You can't draft that. (I'm) a warrior. A lion."
Here are two more fistfuls of players that might be ready to roar at the next level. They caught my eye, impressed scouts and execs at the Showcase and could make the jump to the NBA in the coming weeks, along with breakdowns from D-League experts Kevin Scheitrum and Anthony Oliva.
Travis Leslie, G, 6-4, 205 — An athletic specimen even by NBA standards, Leslie's raw talent has grown more refined in the NBA D-League, with the Georgia grad turning into one of the league's most efficient scorers and a far above-average rebounder for his position. Fast and explosive, Leslie belongs among the league's elite. Played just one game at the Showcase and suffered a groin injury.
Chris Wright, G, 6-1, 210 — One of the few true point guards in the NBA D-League, Wright excels in orchestrating an offense and setting up his teammates for easy buckets. The Georgetown product is also a capable scorer who can hit from outside, though he does most of his damage by getting into the lane and finishing or drawing contact.
DaJuan Summers, F, 6-8, 240 — Summers has the size to compete in an NBA lane and the touch to spread out a defense. He does have difficulty creating his own shot, often relying on his teammates to set him up, but the veteran of 81 NBA games has shown a newfound commitment to rebounding in the NBA D-League.
Chris Wright, F, 6-8, 235 — Wright can get it done on both ends of the floor. Though he still needs work from 3-point range, his strength and explosiveness combined with a mid-range game make him a threat from 18 feet and in. A hungry rebounder and a sheriff in the paint, Wright can jump out of the gym.
Courtney Fortson, G, 5-11, 185 — Fortson surprised a lot of people when he left Arkansas early. Then he surprised even more people when, after going in the 4th round of the 2011 NBA D-League Draft, he earned two NBA Call-Ups. Fast as a rumor, he can get into the lane as well as anyone, though he can be prone to forcing shots once he's there. Undersized at 5-foot-11, Fortson makes up for it with energy and athleticism.
Andrew Goudelock, G, 6-3, 200 — once near the top of the nation in scoring while at the College of Charleston, Goudelock is now one of the best pure scorers in the NBA D-League. Dubbed "Mini Mamba" by Kobe Bryant himself, Goudelock can stretch the defense and also slash and get into the lane.
Jerome Jordan, C, 7-0, 253 — Big and active, the Jamaica-born Jordan finished his career at Tulsa as the C-USA leader in blocked shots. Still in need of polish on the offensive end, despite a high career field goal percentage, the former Knick ranks in the top flight of big men in the NBA D-League.
Tim Ohlbrecht, C, 6-11, 255 — The 24-year-old center from Germany has proven to be tougher on the inside that many had originally thought. With Rio Grande Valley he's starting to learn how to throw around his 6-foot-11, 255-pound frame and he's developed into a solid rebounder and efficient scorer from the low block.
Shelvin Mack, G, 6-3, 207 — Back after a call-up to the Wizards — the team that drafted him in 2011 — Mack is back in the NBA D-League as one of its most dangerous point guards. Still evolving as a creator (though he's made strides), the former 2-guard's combination of athleticism, power and finishing ability can tie a defense into knots.
Luke Harangody, F, 6-8, 240 — The former Notre Dame star tore up the NBA D-League last year when he was on assignment from the Cavs, going for a double-double nightly. His skill has never been in question. But he'll need to develop an outside game to make up for a lack of height and raw athleticism.

The threshold for this effect is
font-weight: 500. At that weight,
font-family: "Futura" will indeed produce Futura; at
font-weight: 501 and above,
font-family: "Futura" will actually produce Futura Condensed Extra Bold.
By the way, at any weight,
font-family: "Futura Condensed Extra Bold" will produce Times New Roman. I'm not sure why; the charitable explanation is ignorance.

E-waste and chemicals
Inside this section
Recycling responsibly
Chemical CleanOut
Any unwanted chemicals you have in your home should be disposed of safely.
The safest approach is to take them to one of the several Chemical CleanOut events in Sydney, run by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority.
Accepted chemicals include paints, pesticides, swimming pool chemicals, aerosols and many more.
E-waste doesn't belong in the bin. As well as putting more pressure on limited landfill capacity, e-waste can be hazardous as it contains toxic materials.
To keep recyclable e-waste out of landfill, the City of Sydney offers free quarterly drop-off days. Be sure to mark the next date for e-waste drop-offs in your calendar.
Batteries, mobiles and light bulbs
You can now drop off your old batteries, mobiles and light bulbs at customer service centres and our libraries.
If these items end up in landfill, they can leach toxic chemicals into our soil and possibly even contaminate the groundwater table, the source of our drinking water. Some also contain valuable resources, like precious metals.

A Broward Sheriff's Office human resources manager has been suspended after allegations that she has embezzled large amounts of taxpayers' money, sources confirmed today.
BSO spokesman Jim Leljedal wouldn't say how much Human Resources Information Manager Jennifer Bakowski is suspected of taking, but sources say it is believed to be in the six figures.
Bakowski, who has been with BSO since 1999 and was making $98,000 a year, is under internal investigation.
Meanwhile, another veteran BSO employee, Sgt. Mitchell Kogod, has been charged criminally with falsifying overtime requests after an investigation that involved his moonlighting work on outside special details.
Kogod made news in March when he was removed from a special security detail with the Miami Dolphins and demoted as chief of BSO's civil division after he admitted doing special favors for Dolphins players involving his official duties. Kogod, who is on desk duty, wouldn't comment when reached on the phone but his attorney told me he will plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge.

Change nameservers to set up Office 365 with Netfirms
Check the Domains FAQ if you don't find what you're looking for.
Follow these instructions if you want Office 365 to manage your Office 365 DNS records for you. (If you prefer, you can manage all your Office 365 DNS records at Netfirms.)
Add a TXT record for verification
Before you use your domain with Office 365, we have to make sure that you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Office 365 that you own the domain.
This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later, if you like.
To get started, go to your domains page at Netfirms by using this link. You'll be prompted to log in first.
In the My Favorites section, choose Domain Central.
In the Domain column, choose the name of the domain that you want to edit.
In the Overview row, choose DNS.
In the Modify drop-down list, choose TXT/SPF Record.
Under Content, in the box for the new record, type or copy and paste the value from the following table.
|MS=ms XXXXXXXX
Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table in Office 365. How do I find this?
Choose Add.
Wait a few minutes before you continue, so that the record you just created can update across the Internet.
Now that you've added the record at your domain registrar's site, you'll go back to Office 365 and request Office 365 to look for the record.
When Office 365 finds the correct TXT record, your domain is verified.
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, choose Setup > Domains.
On the Domains page, choose the domain that you are verifying.
On the Setup page, choose Start setup.
On the Verify domain page, choose Verify.
Typically it takes about 15 minutes for DNS changes to take effect. However, it can occasionally take longer for a change you've made to update across the Internet's DNS system. If you're having trouble with mail flow or other issues after adding DNS records, see Find and fix issues after adding your domain or DNS records in Office 365.
Change your domain's nameserver (NS) records
To complete setting up your domain with Office 365, you change your domain's NS records at your domain registrar to point to the Office 365 primary and secondary name servers. This sets up Office 365 to update the domain's DNS records for you. We'll add all records so that email, Skype for Business Online, and your public website work with your domain, and you'll be all set.
When you change your domain's NS records to point to the Office 365 name servers, all the services that are currently associated with your domain are affected. For example, all email sent to your domain (like rob@ your_domain .com) will start coming to Office 365 after you make this change.
The following procedure will show you how to delete any other, unwanted nameservers from the list, and also how to add the correct nameservers if they are not already in the list. > When you have completed the steps in this section, the only nameservers that should be listed are these four:
To get started, go to your domains page at Netfirms by using this link. You'll be prompted to log in first.
In the My Favorites section, choose Domain Central.
In the Domain column, choose the name of the domain that you want to edit.
In the Overview row, choose Nameservers.
In the Update Name Servers section, select Use different name servers.
Depending on whether or not there are already nameservers listed on the page that is displayed now, continue to one of the two following procedures.
If the correct nameservers ARE already listed
If the correct nameservers are already listed, you can skip this step.
If the correct nameservers are NOT already listed
Follow these steps only if you have existing nameservers other than the four correct nameservers. (That is, delete only any current nameservers that are not named ns1.bdm.microsoftonline.com, ns2.bdm.microsoftonline.com, ns3.bdm.microsoftonline.com, or ns4.bdm.microsoftonline.com.)
Delete the existing nameservers by selecting the entries and then pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
Choose Add More twice to add two new Nameserver rows.
In the boxes for the records, type or copy and paste the nameserver values from the following table.
|Nameserver 1
|Nameserver 2
|Nameserver 3
|Nameserver 4
Choose Save.
Your nameserver record updates may take up to several hours to update across the Internet's DNS system. Then your Office 365 email and other services will be all set to work with your domain.

Regarding forum rules and enforcement
We, the admins here at Classic-Castle, don't like enforcing rules. Now before you go off and think that you can go off and do and say whatever you'd like, think again. We do not like enforcing the rules, but we will do so without hesitation.
We do not like enforcing the rules because we want everyone to have fun here, and when we have to enforce the rules, it usually means someone isn't having fun.
We created Classic-Castle.com so that fans of LEGO Castle would have a place to gather information, and we created the C-C forums so that those fans could have a place to share information and MOCs, to further enjoy their stay at our website.
Have fun here at C-C, that is the purpose of this place, but don't prevent anyone else from having fun, either. That's just about the only cardinal rule we have. Posting in the right place, staying totally on topic, while important, are really only minor things in the long run, and we admins try to fix them as soon as possible. However, as soon as C-C stops being a fun place, we, the admins, have failed at our jobs.
Enjoy yourself, share your ideas and creations to your heart's content, we welcome you to do so with open arms. If you have a problem with another member, do your best to work it out offline. If you need the help of an admin, that is our job, and we'll be here to assist you. If rules need to be enforced, we will do so as quickly and as fairly as we can.
Do your best to follow the few rules we have, be courteous to your fellow LEGO fan, and most of all, have fun.
I just finished deleting 10 or so bogus users off of our forum. These users were either blatently or covertly advertising something, and were not contributing to this site in any way.
To give an example, some were advertising locations to find dates or where to buy cheap perscription drugs, and those were the tame ones.
If you see a new (or old!) user that has signed up that is advertising such things, or you suspect something is amiss, RAT THEM OUT!
Tell an admin or a mod immediately so that they can be dealt with as necessary, please!
While we do not allow children under 13 years to join our forum, we WOULD like to keep this forum clean and safe enough to where they could browse it.
--Anthony and the C-C Team

Gerald Jensen is a survivor of prostate cancer who was diagnosed at the age of 55. His initial treatment was a prostatectomy, or surgical removal of part or all of the prostate gland. Five years later Gerald's prostate cancer returned and he underwent radiation therapy. Gerald's first appointment in the Survivorship Program's MOST clinic was in 2007, and he has returned for annual appointments to receive the most up-to-date information about the late effects of his cancer treatment. For Gerald, a significant concern was his bone health: how to keep his bones as strong as possible and reduce the risk of a fracture. Radiation therapy as part of cancer treatment can result in too little new bone formation or too much bone loss (osteoporosis or osteopenia), causing bones to become weak. Osteoporosis or osteopenia can also occur in some men with prostate cancer who receive a type of treatment called androgen deprivation therapy.
During his annual survivorship visit, Gerald asks questions and discusses any concerns regarding his overall health - not just his cancer. Our experienced clinic staff reviews with Gerald his cancer Survivorship Care Plan, which includes strategies to cope with specific late effects as well as ways to incorporate healthy habits into his life. Each year Gerald leaves his appointment armed with new ways to maintain his active, healthy lifestyle.
"I find my annual visit with the Survivorship Clinic very helpful in reminding me how to stay healthy after cancer and keeping me focused on my continued care," Jenson said. "I am very grateful for the survivorship services available through the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and recommend this clinic to other survivors who have finished cancer treatment."
There are many other long-term or late effects that prostate cancer survivors may face after treatment; examples include erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Oftentimes, treatments and coping strategies to deal with these late- or long-term effects are available and we encourage cancer survivors to talk with their health care providers or be seen in a dedicated survivorship clinic to address these concerns.

Who knows.
One could call it A Film Trilogy Vaguely Resembling In Basic Concept The Lord of The Rings and From It Taking Many Names and Scenarios Without Bothering To Actually Follow The Storyline Prescribed By The Source Material In The Slightest.
Not trying to be all anti-film about it. I'm not. I own the Extended Editions and enjoy them. But one would have to be doing some serious psychotropic drugs to claim that the film trilogy even resembled the book in feel, mood, style, or story. The only thing they seem to have in common is character names and basic plot.
If one wishes to claim that, then just about no book turned into a movie can be claimed to be anything except a film vaguely resembling....(yadda yadda yadda). Well, okay, maybe the Maltese Falcon followed the book all the way through, but I stopped reading it 2/3 through it because it was an EXACT duplication of the book.
Anyway, I disagree with your assessment.
As to the Silmarillion - I can't see any movies in that. Perhaps whatever Christopher Tolkien is preparing on a full novel of one of the stories (forget what it is). The Hobbit could be done without a doubt, though.

Hey guys, thought I would share my build on here.
This is my 2nd ae86. I got the car as a dead stock 1983 ADM granny mobile. Only driven to the corner shop for the sunday paper and milk with 34K miles/ 55K kms on the clock.
I've had the car for about 8 years and it's been slowly modded over that period. Being a broke uni bum made progress somewhat slow to begin with. It was almost sacrilege to touch such a clean unmolested example but at the same time it was the perfect base to start with. It's seen me through uni days and now working full time it's more of a weekender and on the odd day I'll still drive it to my work. It's been off the road for the last 12months and received its 4th engine configuration, this time built by Galvsport in Perth.
4AGTE 16v bigport - Built 7rib motor with ross pistons, spool rods, GTX2867R, external gate, 3" tbe, Kelford cams, custom manifolds, surge tank, catch can, MRP sump, e85, Yaris COP, + other things I'm forgetting.
On the run in tune it made 275hp at 12psi on e85. The car is getting a few small items finished up currently and then it goes back for a proper power tune with more boost.
I wanted to lift the overall quality/presentation of the car from what it was 12months ago and also make it more track focused, so upon recommendation I headed to Josh at Galvsport. Their work is probably 90% GTRs, but his attention to detail is fantastic and their fab work is also high quality. I thought I would give them a go and have been very pleased with their work.
My car amongst a sea of nissans
The plans for the car are track grip nights at Barbagallo (our local Perth race track) and also sprint style events. The car will also continue to see a bit of street use, so it's keeping full interior for now. It has previously been engineered for the prior GT28RS turbo, w55, f-series, big brakes and coil overs – most is still relevant. The cops in Aus love to give car enthusiasts a hard time so I needed all the proper paperwork to be left alone, unless I get caught doing something stupid.
Will try and get a proper spec list up soon, but here are some pics for now.
Cheers Aaron

It's a 76mm Hypertune billet TB.
Galvsport sourced it for me from Hypertune in Sydney along with a sr20 intake manifold bare shell. The rest of the manifold - runners, flanges, etc was fabricated in house.

California Department of Transportation
Date: May 8, 2013
District: 8 – San Bernardino
Contact: Terri Kasinga
Phone: (909) 383-4646 (work) (951) 232-4268 (cell)
SAN BERNADINO – The state's vast transportation system received a major infusion of cash today, as the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated $878 million in funding to 114 projects that will support job growth, alleviate traffic delays, and repair aging roads and bridges.
"The benefits these projects bring are a huge boon to our economy," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty, "This investment in our transportation system creates jobs and improves the quality of life for all Californians."
The allocations include $476 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. In total, nearly $15.5 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide.
"This billion-dollar investment helps preserve California's great infrastructure of the past and put thousands of Californian's to work building something new," said Brian Kelly, Acting Secretary of the Business, Transportation & Housing Agency. "These investments in preservation and innovation are absolutely critical to California's economy: In 2010, traffic congestion caused 95 million hours of delay, wasting fuel and squandering productive, economic activity."
Highlights of the funding allocations include:
- City of Riverside/Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) – Construct a four
lane grade separation for railroad lines at Riverside Avenue ($12.1 million – Prop 1B/TCIF
- San Bernardino County – This project will provide a multipurpose facility that will protect
California's transportation infrastructure and promote interstate commerce. It will construct a
commercial vehicle facility on I-15 near Wheaton Springs (Joint Point of Entry (JPOE) at
Nevada State Line). Eventually a facility will be constructed to house the new Agriculture
Inspection Station once funding is approved ($36.8 million – Prop 1B/SHOPP funds).
- City of Highland/San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) – In the City of

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

According to Gartner, Inc., collaboration initiatives fail because IT leaders hold mistaken assumptions about basic issues. IT leaders should determine which of five factors – technology, roles, process, metrics and workplace climate – to change to achieve successful collaboration projects.
"There are five myths that derail collaboration initiatives," said Carol Rozwell, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "Rather than making technology the starting point, IT leaders should first identify real business problems and key performance indicators (KPIs) that link to business goals."

"How do I identify quality used ag tires?"
There may be the perfect used ag tires for your particular application, but you may need a different make or model if your goals change. To help simplify your next purchase, here are common factors that determine tire quality.
Aside from looking at the various speed and load ratings on the sidewall, it can be difficult to tell how good a tire is through an eye test. The best way to know for sure is to contact a knowledgeable expert or manufacturer representative in South Carolina .
Before calling an experienced professional, a good way to gauge overall tire quality is to check your warranty. Leading manufacturers like Trelleborg, for instance, may offer an 8-year warranty on tractor tires with a 2-year warranty on stubble damage. Trelleborg wouldn't offer such a long warranty program unless they stood behind their craftsmanship.
Our Used Used Ag Tires & Wheel Assemblies - Inspected for Reliability!
Farm equipment operators need to maintain their used ag tires, especially by inflating them properly (keeping appropriate pressures for in the field and on the road) and by operating equipment within the limits of the tires. As long as routine maintenance is performed, tires will almost always outlive their warranties.
At Dawson Tire & Wheel, we bring value to our customers through our extensive knowledge and experience. When we say we live and breathe agriculture, we mean it!

Edward Jones expected the unexpected last night in a doubleheader against Alliant Bank in Senior Babe Ruth action at Twillman Field in Harley park.
Edward Jones expected the unexpected last night in a doubleheader against Alliant Bank in Senior Babe Ruth action at Twillman Field in Harley park.
Having last played back on Tuesday, June 5, head coach Eric Rhorer didn't know what to expect from his players or the pitchers for that matter. While a six-run fourth inning took care of Game 1 as Edward Jones prevailed 9-6, the second game turned into a slugfest as Alliant Bank took only five innings to beat Edward Jones 10-0 for the split.
In Game 1, Alliant Bank jumped out on top with one run in the top-half of the first when Kelsey Callaway led off with a double and later stole home.
However in the same inning, Edward Jones rallied back with three runs when Tanner Hulbert led off with a double and scored on an Alliant Bank error. Dylan Albertson then singled to score Caleb Hein to make it 2-1. Meanwhile, after Jeffrey Jackson reached on an error, D.L. Green doubled to score Jackson.
Of course the game got really interesting after that as Alliant Bank sent four more runs across in the third when Callaway reached on an error and later stole home. Wes Davis also singled in the inning and scored on the RBI-double by Zach Nixon. Then, after Chase Snapp received a walk, John Watson came back with a RBI-single to give Alliant Bank a 5-3 lead.
Alliant Bank came back and tacked on another run in the fourth on a one-out walk and a RBI-double by Wes Davis to extend the lead to 6-3.
However after failing to score in the second and third innings, Edward Jones rallied back with six runs in the bottom-half of the fourth when D.L. Green and Addison Jobe hit back-to-back singles and Aaron Waibel walked to load the bases. Things only got worse after that as Nathan Small picked up a walk, followed by a fielder's choice and three Alliant Bank errors.
That one inning proved to be the difference as Alliant Bank put up goose eggs for the rest of the game to suffer the loss.
Caleb Hein picked up the win on the mound for Edward Jones while Landon Ball took the loss for Alliant Bank.
Hein pitched all seven innings and gave up six runs on seven hits and seven walks while striking out seven. Ball, meanwhile, pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three. Wes Davis then came in and pitched 1 2/3 innings in relief and surrendered three runs on one hit while striking out three. Then, to finish the game, Zach Nixon pitched one inning and struck out one batter.
Dylan Albertson led the hitting attack in the game for Edward Jones with a single, double and three RBIs.
D.L. Green had a single, double and one RBI while Tanner Hulbert doubled and Addison Jobe singled. Caleb Hein also drove in two runs while Josh Webb had one run batted in.
For Alliant Bank, who out-hit Edward Jones 7-6, Kelsey Callaway had two doubles while Wes Davis had a single, double and one RBI, Zach Nixon with a RBI-double, John Watson with a two-RBI single and Landon Ball with one single.
In the nightcap, Alliant Bank led from the first inning on by pushing across three runs in the bottom-half of the first on three walks, a hit batter and a triple by Kelsey Callaway to go up 3-0.
Meanwhile, after holding Edward Jones scoreless in the first-three innings, Alliant Bank came back and plated three more runs in the bottom-half of the third on back-to-back doubles by Zach Nixon and Grant Davis and a three-run home run Wes Davis to extend the lead to 6-0.
Edward Jones never recovered after that while giving up four more runs in the fifth on one walk, one error and three straight doubles by Wes Davis, Chase Snapp and John Watson to lose by the mercy rule.
Zach Nixon pitched all five innings for Alliant Bank and struck out four batters while giving up one hit and two walks.
D.L. Green, meanwhile, took the loss for Edward Jones by giving up six runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four batters in 2 2/3 innings. Dylan Albertson then came in and pitched 2 1/3 innings in relief and issued four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two.
Alliant Bank also out-hit Edward Jones 9-1, with Wes Davis adding a double, home run and four RBIs.
Kelsey Callaway finished the game with a double and a triple while Chase Snapp had a double and three RBIs, Zach Nixon, John Watson and Grant Davis each with one double and Donovan Sturguess with one single.
Watson also drove in one run for Alliant Bank, who improved to 2-5 on the season.
Dylan Albertson had the only hit in the game for Edward Jones, who dropped to 2-3, with one single.


text: Well here is a small taste of problems with Dell and PERC controllers, I have tried to use Dell Perc Controllers all the way back to Perc 2 Quad-Channels, I needed new batteries for the back up memory I ordered using Dell's own part number they sent the wrong part, I returned, I sent them the ACTUAL BATTERY, THEY SENT ME ANOTHER BATTERY AGAIN WRONG, this after dozens of phone calls. Will I ever buy another Dell product? Not on your life, when they cannot even get a battery right when they have the actual battery in hand that is very bad service! They may make a good product till you need service then forget it, and you can also forget stripping out working parts from a dead server for use as they match all products to the original computer case's serial number, so if you want to keep legacy systems running but need to make a change such as a new CPU box then Dell not only has hard-code/password protected the use of non-Dell Hard drive but also refuses to service Dell equipment, such as sale you the back-up battery, unless you happen to have the old serial case number and you better be the original buyer otherwise their database says you are not the customer and another rejection. Assuming they can ever find it even when they have the old one in hand so it is impossible not to have the correct part number the tag is on it, as well as they have the part in their hand, as well as when they pull the alleged correct part from stock, after weeks of calls, the replacement they send the wrong one along with the old one and they are obviously incorrect as not even a size, or connector that will plug into their own RAID disk controller, made by Adaptec, who I called after trying to get the battery, Adpatec, who generally I find excellent, says it was made solely for Dell so they cannot help, turns out also made for HP but with some firmware changes I lster found out. Note, Dell will say it is a Perc but it may be an AMI or and AAdaptec, and parts are totally differant yet they are both called a Perc X model, so you may not even be buying what you think as well as their performance test will be on the higher preformasnce unit but you end up with the lower end part. You can forget their "White Papers" performance statements as the part tested may not be what you bought. So my comment, forget buying Dell computers if you expect them to be cooperative. Also many of the so called non-certified disks, or other parts are really from 3rd parts with Dell's label on the case if you take it out of the hard disk cage for example, are the exact same disk such as the top of the line Seagate large storage drives if you remove them from the Dell case. So why would a Seagate XYZ (fake serial or model number) from Seagate of same size and model number not work with the exact same one Dell sales at a huge mark up. Both are high performance drives, 10-15,000 high speed iSCSI or Sata, the same model number and there is no way Dell tests ever disk beyond basic test. Dells original philosophy was buy "off the shelf part and assembly them for a low cost and good performance and serice, Michael Dell started this in his dorm room at college and grew it into a major computer company, then left but tried to come back to "fix" Dell's problems, I guess locking you to them for over-priced fixes, assuming the customer service can even locate the fix, is their idea of how to fix, I think I will just order my own parts from MOBO's to controllers at least then I know what is in them and where to get my parts at often a lower price and better performance" It seems their philosophy since has been lets over-charge, under-service and now make it where our customers have no choice but to continue with us. Basically starts to sound like Computer addiction, get a customer and make sure they have no choice but to buy there computer fix from Dell (assuming they can find the part) at an inflated price and service so poor they cannot read their own part numbers. So I will assume that if you ever have a drive problem you will end up as I did in an endless loop of calls, wrong parts, etc. Good luck.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The storm that dumped 9 1/2 inches on New York's Central Park will not force the cancellation of Broadway shows Thursday night.
"As of now, all Broadway shows will play as scheduled," the Broadway League said on its website Thursday afternoon.
"Cold snow days provide a great opportunity for tourists and locals to catch Broadway's hottest shows in warm theaters," the message said. "For information about returns and exchanges, theatergoers should contact their point of purchase."

The legendary Gags Beasley is Fozzie Bear's comedy writer.
Of all the writers in the history of show business, Gags Beasley is one of them. In episode 114 of The Muppet Show, it is revealed that he wrote the famous "Banana Sketch," which everyone has heard of except Kermit. In episode 504, Fozzie tells Shirley Bassey that Gags charges 50 cents a laugh and a dollar for a "boffo belly grabber."
Though he has been mentioned several times in Muppet productions and interviews (including on Parkinson and The Merv Griffin Show), Gags has never appeared onscreen in a Muppet production. However, in 1977, Muppet Show writer Jack Burns hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live, in which he appeared in a sketch as a drunk, washed-up comedy writer named Gags Beasley who, not coincidentally, also claims to have written the "Banana Sketch."
Gags' brother Gummo is credited as a writer on The Muppets Go to the Movies; in his own review of the special, Gags says that it's "One of the T.V. programs ever made." According to publicity for The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Gags is currently assisting Fozzie with the development of his one-man play A Long Day's Journey into Nightclubs.

This question already has an answer here:
I would like to create a user that only has access to one folder and nothing else whatsoever.
I have already created a user but he has access to other parts of the system according to corresponding file settings. I don't want him to have that, I want him only to have access to one folder and nothing else. Everything else should preferably be just invisible to him.
Is it possible to create such a user,and if so, how do I go about doing that?
p.s. Removing 'other' privileges of other users home directory goes a bit of the way towards this end. But this limited user still has access to all the base directories like /etc and such. And he can still see other users home directory, even though he cant access them.

Clara Smart
Ask Clara Smart about her interests, and be prepared to receive a formidable list of hobbies and academic pursuits: photography, competitive cycling, knitting, English literature, the ocean, jazz, and robotics.
Smart is an electrical engineer about to enter her final year in Northwestern University's five-year Walter P. Murphy Cooperative Engineering Education Program. As part of her co-op, she has worked for defense company Northrop Grumman and participated in several university projects on which she honed her skills as an electrical-mechanical systems and control systems engineer. "Basically, that means robots," she said.
Since watching a film about underwater robotics in seventh grade, Smart aspired to work in the Deep Submergence Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and help build devices for marine research. She reached her goal this summer working with WHOI scientist Hanumant Singh. She combined her interests in engineering and the ocean with her love of photography by working on undersea image processing.
Smart, a native of Seattle, spent the summer devising a new kind of faceted reflector light for use on deep-sea exploration vehicles, from the mathematical modeling of the device to the construction. The goal is to create a more even light field for taking underwater pictures. By replacing light originating from a single point, such as a bulb, with a mirrored reflector, engineers could eliminate false shadows and achieve clearer, more accurate images under water.
Smart's SSF experience also included testing some deep submergence vehicles and observing some of the other scientists' projects.
"I've definitely come to consider a future in image processing much more, as opposed to the very heavily mechanical side of things," said Smart, who is considering a graduate degree in applied ocean physics and engineering. "What I really want to do is work with robotics and sensors for marine research, and this place is the mother ship."
She also enjoyed at WHOI life outside the lab, exploring the Cape and long-distance cycling.

|Alpheopsis paratrigona Anker, 2017
The present study deals with four species of the alpheid shrimp genus Alpheopsis Coutière, 1897 characterised by the presence of at least one strong carina on the dorsal surface of the carapace. Alpheopsis trigona (Rathbun, 1901) is redescribed based on the holotype from Puerto Rico and additional material from US Virgin Islands and Florida. Two new species closely related to A. trigona, viz. Alpheopsis paratrigona sp. nov. and Alpheopsis gotrina sp. nov., are described, the first based on material from several localities in the tropical western Atlantic, and the second from the Pacific coast of Panama and Colombia. The three species together form a distinctive transisthmian clade within Alpheopsis, the A. trigona species complex, characterised by the presence of several strong longitudinal carinae on the carapace and very distinctive colour pattern. A more distantly related species, Alpheopsis aristoteles sp. nov., characterised by the presence of only one strong mid-dorsal carina in the anterior region of the carapace, is described based on material from São Tomé Island in the tropical eastern Atlantic.

Alpheopsis gotrina sp. nov.
Etymology. The new species' name is an anagram of the specific epithet of its presumed closest relative, A. trigona.
Alpheopsis aristoteles sp. nov.
Etymology. The new species is named after the great Greek philosopher and scientist, Aristoteles (384–322BCE), and also the first naturalist who attempted a classification of animals based on morphology, anatomy and reproductive systems, in his famous "History of Animals" (Aristoteles 350 BCE).

He's fairly convinced that I'm batboop crazy now, since corpses that aren't uncroaked or moved just disappear at the start of the next turn. Like trash. Still, it seemed right. She deserves to rest.
Which brings me to this thought I can't shake, which is that I'm likely to die soon. Specifically, die violently by having some sharp piece of metal shoved through me. It's way too easy to picture, after seeing Misty.
Doesn't help that my Stupid Meal came with a sword hilt. What a nice and ominous little "toy". Bogroll's gonna see what he can do with it, but other than "pointy end away from user" I don't know swords.
Last line on the list of forces says:
Hamstard: Do you wonder what it means by "special?" Because I don't.
- ^ Stanley's pose is a reference to the "double V" gesture made by Richard Nixon as he left the White House for the last time following his resignation of the Presidency.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?"
― Martin Luther King, Jr.
Moderator: Van Canna
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Albert Einstein
God and Soldier, we alike adore
When on the brink of danger, not before
The danger past, both are alike requited
God is forgotten, and the soldier slighted.
"Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
"The Strenuous Life"
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
"Grant began by expressing a hope that the war would soon be over, and Lee replied by stating that he had for some time been anxious to stop the further effusion of blood, and he trusted that everything would now be done to restore harmony and conciliate the people of the South. He said the emancipation of the Negroes would be no hindrance to the restoring of relations between the two sections of the country, as it would probably not be the desire of the majority of the Southern people to restore slavery then, even if the question were left open to them."

The longer-in-the-tooth among you might recall that article by Peter Orosz, in which he describes a night visit to fun driving roads in the hills around Budapest, in the winter, doing snow drifting. I know these roads well having driven them countless times in countless cars, in all sorts of weather. This is where the Drive homage with my MR2 was filmed for instance.
I also planned for the longest time to do this snow drifting there too, especially as one of the stretches isn't salted, because nature. It's just that I never had the proper tools for the job. I'm not cocksure enough to take expensive test-cars up there, and I never had an RWD car on my own before the MR2. That lovely piece of Japanese engineering was a good start, and on the few occasions I got the car and snow together, she worked well, but then I stopped using it in the winter because of the rust issue. So in actual fact, this winter beater idea was behind the whole 'buy a Peugeot 505' thing. It's light, it's worth less than most of the notebooks you read this on and it's RWD. I also got a factory LSD among the other bits and parts that came with the car, which was promising. However, it needed inspection and installment, while the other important parts of the car – brakes, engine, running gear – needed a good servicing, which I just didn't have the means to. Nevertheless, I got my shit together, and went out to the hills last year to at least try it, but the results were a bit underwhelming. I was out of depth as talent goes, and the shitty state the car was in didn't help either.
In 2013 I got around to have the needed repairs done to the 505 – completely new brakes and shocks all around, as well as some gearbox and clutch work means the car drives quite well now. (As an aside: these old Peugeot sedans, designed with third world roads in mind, really are indestructible, The car ran more than a year with no servicing and problems in all major components. No harm done at all.) The LSD got in the car too, so now all I needed was snow. I know you Americans would have been happy to send plenty, but it so happens, that here, the first proper snowfall of the season only occurred yesterday.
First thing first I visited a grassy – now of course snowed-in - airfield. It's used by hoons all the time, so there are tracks too drive there. And you know what?! The old Peugeot suspensions design works on these snowed-in tracks like a motherfucking champ. And this isn't a prepared rally fighter at all, this is the factory setup. I had the widest grin on all the time.
Then after nightfall, my wife told me we should head out to the hills. She never experienced anything such before, but I didn't know if it'll work either. So did it work? Oh you bet your sorry ass it did. Lots of oppo were had, switchback turns in drift all the way were had, and many small shrieks from my wife too, looking at the road, and the oncoming Armco through the side window. No SR20, because pitch black night, but I will take the guys out there one day, if we get the chance and film it later.
Snow, RWD, LSD = hoon.
Not even horsepower is needed, I got like 70 or maybe 80 max in there, and it still worked.
Also, the road was far from empty. There were trailers parked in the last village and the sweet smell of racing gas lingered in the night air, as more-or-less rally-prepped cars drove the stretch of road up and down. Not my pics (pitch black, rememeber), but I saw a nice Mazda 323 GTX
There was an older Legacy Turbo too, the one McRae rallied back in the day.
And of course the ubiquitous Impreza GT.
There was a nice looking Trueno too, but that didn't do much drifting, or maybe they were just finished by the time i got around.
TL:DR: a small patch of forest buzzing with all sorts of hoons, happy about the first snowfall around here, and me getting full on snowdrift in a banger old RWD Peugeot, after years of preparation. Lovely night.

I will have a fuller review of Incoco at a later date -- right now, I'm in a panic to finish my final papers -- but I took a break to test drive Incoco polish strips. I hear they last awhile and if they do last as long as advertised, it'll be a perfect travel mani for this week, i.e. if it doesn't chip by Tuesday, I'll do a different Incoco mani for my trip Thursday through Sunday. Application was not bad at all: took me about 20 minutes and while I have some complaints, I'm not displeased with this newfangled nail polish toy.
Semi sheer silver shimmer with holo glitter particles. Really very sparkly and cheerful. I'm not even annoyed at the sheerness. They smell sort of weird but who goes around sniffing their nails? If any of the nails perfectly matched mine, I'd love these... but I'll explain a little more when I have some more time. :)

The DVD features the title episode and additional episodes from Dora the Explorer's current seventh season. Emmy Award-winning Dora the Explorer is an international phenomenon and one of the top preschool shows on TV after almost 12 years on the air.
Dora's Rescue in Mermaid Kingdom
Dora and Boots are at the beach when they find Maribel, a little lost mermaid, who needs to get back to her mommy in the Mermaid Kingdom. Dora uses her mermaid charm necklace to transform into a mermaid and turn Boots into a sea monkey. Together the three set off on an underwater adventure through the octopus's garden, past the ocean rocks to Mermaid Cove where Maribel will have to sing to bring all the mermaids together so she can find her mommy.
Benny the Castaway
Dora and Boots are getting ready to have a beach picnic with all of their friends when suddenly a bottle rolls in with a wave. Inside the bottle, Dora and Boots find a note from Benny. His balloon ran out of air on the way to the picnic and he's stuck on Coconut Island. It's Dora and Boots to the rescue!
Dora's Moonlight Adventure
Dora's taking care of Abuela's three kitties: Pico, Mónica and Lucky. At Dora's house, Mami reads Dora and the kitties a story and they all cuddle around their ball of string and fall asleep. When the ball of string rolls out the window and Lucky chases after it, the kitties wake Dora up so she can help find Lucky.
Our Review:
DD has been watching Dora the Explorer since she was a toddler. As a kindergartener, she is still a huge fan of Dora. Whenever it comes on TV, she will drop whatever she is doing to sit down and watch it. What I really like about the show that it is educational and entertaining for the kids. I especially like the interactions between the show and the kids. Whenever Dora asks a question, DD always answers it with such enthusiasm. In the Dora the Explorer: Dora's Rescue in Mermaid Kingdom DVD, DD's favorite episode was the one involves Dora turning into a mermaid to help a mermaid girl find her way home. This is a great DVD for all Dora lovers.

Feeling frustrated today about a lack of ideas to write about on your blog? If so, you're not alone. Here's another technique that I use to overcome it.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post here on ProBlogger that gave a tip for fighting blogger's block. It asked you to identify a problem that you had three years ago and to write a post that solved that problem for your readers.
Another variation on that technique for overcoming blogger's block is to write a post that taps into a "feeling" that your readers might typically have.
There are probably thousands of bloggers in your niche writing content to solve the problems of your readers, but I bet that in most niches, most of them don't look after the feelings of their readers.
Acknowledge and work with those feelings, and you'll be blogging with empathy—not only solving problems, but making emotional connections with your readers. You'll also be connecting with different personality types than if you just write a dry how-to type post.
Which feelings should you concentrate on? While negative feelings might be the obvious choice I think there's a case for writing about the whole gamut of feelings:
- Feeling lost? Here's a way forward.
- Feeling paralyzed? Here's how to get moving.
- Feeling excited? Here's how to capture that excitement and use it for good.
- Feeling lonely? Here's a place to connect with others.
- Feeling overwhelmed? Here's how to navigate that.
- Feeling fearful? Here's how to overcome your fear.
You'll notice in the above examples I've taken each of the feelings and then written a how-to response, but there are other ways to tap into the feelings of your readers, too.
One great way to do it is to tell a story.
- Feeling Lost? Here's a time I felt that, and here's what happened.
Another way to tap into feelings is to start a discussion.
- What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed with your work.
So sit down today and think about what kinds of feelings and emotions your readers might have.
You might get some hints in the comments section of your blog. You may also want to think about your own feelings and emotions (past and present) as they pertain to your topic.
Once you've identified a feeling, write a post that starts with that feeling. Acknowledge it up front, then write something that helps your readers to move forward from that place.
I'd love to see links below to the posts you write
