Linux and open source technologies are used extensively in large-scale astronomy projects within Australia and throughout the world, and to a lesser extent in amateur astronomy. The Astronomy Miniconf at LCA2014 is focused on the use of Linux and open source technologies in astronomy. It will primarily focus on the technical aspects of large-scale professional astronomy projects, but will include sessions on topics of interest to amateur astronomers. Professional astronomers have been sourced from all of the major Australian radio astronomy projects (MWA, ASKAP, SKA) to give presentations on their work. To round out the programme, there will be a session on the 'citizen science' astronomy project theSkyNet, as well as sessions from amateur astronomers on more introductory topics. Most of the more technical sessions will be of interest to the full range of LCA2014 delegates, not just those with a particular interest in astronomy.
This miniconf is organised by Jessica Smith.

Presentation abstracts and presenter bios
ICRAR projects, outreach and education
The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) launched in 2009 and has fast become a top 10 radio astronomy research organisation. Along with a focus on high quality astronomy, engineering and high performance computing, ICRAR also emphasises outreach and education to inspire the next generation of researchers and spread the wonders of astronomy to the community. This talk will outline ICRAR's outreach and education activities that spread across all areas of ICRAR's research and almost all audiences you could imagine.
Kirsten Gottschalk
Kirsten wanted to be an astronomer from her earliest memory, but soon realised she much preferred talking about it than doing it. After some study in Astrophysics and Science Communication, she found her way to the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Perth. She now gets to meet astronauts, talk about the world's biggest telescope (the Square Kilometre Array), build telescopes in the desert and show off the gorgeous West Australian night sky to anyone that comes near. Part of her job is also babysitting theSkyNet and communicating with its 19,000 members. She makes sure theSkyNet doesn't get too unruly on its twitter account (@_theSkyNet) and has been involved in the project since its inception two years ago.
theSkyNet POGS: The PS1 Optical Galaxy Survey
TheSkyNet POGS is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in astronomy. We are combining the spectral coverage of GALEX, Pan-STARRS1, and WISE to generate a multi-wavelength UV-optical-NIR galaxy atlas for the nearby Universe. We calculate physical parameters such as: star formation rate, stellar mass of the galaxy, dust attenuation, and total dust mass of a galaxy; on a pixel-by-pixel basis using spectral energy distribution fitting techniques. This talk discusses the history of the project, where it is now and where it is going.
Kevin Vinsen
Kevin joined ICRAR in late 2009. At ICRAR he is a part of the Data Intensive Research Group which is addressing the issues caused by the huge data sets that modern radio and optical astronomy generates, and is working on the design of the Square Kilometre Array Science Data Pipeline. His main research area are: high speed data ingest, and developing methods for the automated classification of galaxies using multi-wavelength data and machine learning algorithms.
Kevin is currently working on two citizen science projects, as part of theSkyNet. The first is a system to calculate the spectral energy distributions from optical (PanSTARRS), infra-red (WISE, HERSCHEL) and ultraviolet (Galex) images. This will required between 8 and 16 million CPU hours to calculate and will require more than 50TBytes of storage to store the data. The second is to perform source finding in HI cubes.
DistroAstro: Linux for Astronomers
Distro Astro is a project to create a Linux distribution optimised for professional and amateur astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts. It incorporates software for telescope control, astrophotography, celestial mapping, rocket design, astronomical data analysis, and planetarium software - all wrapped up in an astronomy-themed Ubuntu-based distro. This presentation will provide an introduction to DistroAstro, a brief demonstration of some of the included software, and information about how people can get it and/or get involved.
Jessica Smith
Jessica is a systems and network administrator, with a strong interest in security, data privacy, and ICT policy & management issues. As an amateur astronomer, she combines her technical skills with a lifelong interest space and astronomy.
Monitor and Control in the MWA
The Murchison Widefield Array is a low frequency (80-300 MHz) radio telescope in the Murchison region of WA, at the future site of the Australian part of the Square Kilometre Array. It consists of 128 'tiles' scattered across the desert, each of which is a small radio telescope that can be pointed anywhere in the sky, entirely electronically with no moving parts. A small supercomputer joins the signals from each of the tiles to give a resolution as good as a single radio telescope more than 3km across.
Operating the MWA involves coordinating a host of services and computers. Each of the 128 tiles must be sent a bit-pattern to set the direction that it should point to. Groups of 8 tiles are combined in one of 16 'digital receivers', which has custom-designed cards to convert the signal from analog to digital, do some pre-processing and send the data out via fibre. Each digital receiver is managed by a single-board computer running Linux which controls the hardware via USB and I2C. The supercomputer to analyse the data is made up of 40 nodes running Linux, 24 of which have two high-end Nvidia GPU cards each. Other Linux servers handle data archiving, scheduling, and system monitoring.
This talk will cover the MWA architecture, and the software used to monitor and control the telescope. Most of the MWA software is written in Python, along with some Java, CUDA and C/C++.
Andrew Williams
Andrew has been working at the fuzzy interface between astronomy and computers for his entire career. At UWA, his honours and PhD work included building a CCD camera from components in 1991, as well as writing software for camera control, data capture and analysis, and telescope automation. After that, he spent 17 years at Perth Observatory doing research that also involved a lot of scientific programming, including working on software for the Murchison Widefield Array. He is now part of the MWA team at the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA), part of Curtin University.
Supercomputing and Data Storage Design for the SKA
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope. It will comprise thousands of radio wave receptors (antennas) some of which will extend out to distances of 3,000 km from their central core region.
These will be split between three main frequency ranges, with each frequency range using a different telescope design. The three main frequency ranges, comprise of a low frequency array of dipole antenna, a mid frequency array of apeture synthesis antenna and a high frequency array of radio dishes.
Covering frequencies of 50MHz – 20 GHz, it will make a revolutionary break with today's radio telescopes. It will:
- Have a collecting area of almost one million square metres, giving it dozens of times greater sensitivity than any other radio telescope ever made.
- Survey the sky thousands of times faster than other telescopes;
- Integrate computing hardware and software on a massive scale, in a way that best captures the benefits of these exponentially developing technologies. (To give you an idea of scale, the SKA precursor telescopes on each candidate site (ASKAP and MeerKAT) are each about 2-3% of the full SKA)
- Require computing power on a scale several times faster then tha fastest computers in existence as of 2013
- Will produce as much data as the entire internet every day, all of which will be processed and analysed
Stephen Ord
Stephen is a Senior Research Fellow at Curtin University, working on the large-scale data collection and processing required by radio astronomy projects such as the Murchison Widefield Array and the Square Kilometre Array.
Desert Fireball Network - with Linux under the bonnet
The Australian "Desert Fireball Network" (DFN) is a facility based on the intersection of Astronomy and Geology, designed and operated in order to collect meteorites - samples of very old rocks from our solar system. During their flight through the upper atmosphere, meteorites can be observed as fireballs. DFN is a network of autonomous cameras, installed in the Australian outback, imaging the night sky continuously. Simultaneous observation of fireballs from two or more networked cameras enables us to triangulate the meteor trajectory and track the rock forward to where it lands, as well as back, to where it came from in the solar system.
The DFN history begins in 2003, when a first prototype of film-based desert fireball camera was installed, continues through 2005, when a small network of three cameras was build, extended in 2007 by the fourth film camera. In the beginning of the 2010s digital camera technology became mature and affordable enough to start thinking of fully digital fireball cameras. Completely new digital cameras were developed during the last two years and are now being built to extend the network. MKII cameras are now running in the Nullarbor desert and the plan is to have approximately 25 cameras built and deployed during year 2014 and eventually run 50+ cameras with a small team of 3‑4 people.
Linux was an important component of the fireball cameras design since the beginning. The film cameras MKI are controlled by a Pentium based industrial grade PC, running Redhat 7.3 (a favourite distro at the time of the design, around 2002). Although the mechanical/electrical components need to be serviced from time to time, the OS and the camera specific software is still going strong! The new digital cameras are based on Debian wheezy running on industrial single board computers, much more compact design then the earlier film cameras.
The network, though by far from being complete, it already produces terabytes of hi-res images. That brings another challenge: It is obvious that such a volume of data cannot be processed manually – the data collection and processing must be automated as much as possible. Therefore the network consist not only from the cameras, but also includes a server facility and multi-terabyte data storage, developed in cooperation with iVEC supercomputing facility.
This presentation will cover the history of the network, description of the Linux and computer networking technologies used, as well as the experience with running the fireball camera systems during the last 15 years.
Martin Cupak
Martin moved to Perth from Europe and joined the DFN team in January 2013. Since completion of his Masters degree in Computer Science at the Czech Technical University in Prague he has worked as a software developer and later as a head of several embedded software projects, particularly in the area of of ground-based astronomical instruments and space projects, including flight software for satellites and several on-board instruments.
Martin has been involved in several fireball networks, including the Central European Fireball Network and the Australian Desert Fireball Network (DFN), since the beginning of the automated observation. He developed the control software for the film-based cameras and through the years (since 1998) he has been participating in the fireball networks' design, development, installation and operation.
Martin's role within the DFN team is to develop software for new digital camera systems, automate data collection and processing and also to keep the DFN cameras networked via the Internet. He also participates in operation of the existing film-based cameras. He enjoys this work because it is an amazing project and also because it is a balanced combination of office/laboratory work and field trips to outback, far away from the hectic civilisation.
Lightning talks
Lightning talks are an opportunity for LCA delegates to deliver brief (5-10 minute) presentations on anything astronomy- and Linux-related that they're working on. Examples include software or drivers that they've written or contributed to, a mini-tutorial or walkthrough of open source astronomy software, or even just showing off some of your own astrophotography.
PLEASE NOTE that even though lightning talks are quite informal, presenters must still conform to the LCA Code of Conduct.

Upon arrival, please place the ParkWhiz parking pass face up on your dashboard.
20 people recommend parking here 17 left comments
Every time we go in for Cubs games we will use this parking. It is so close to the stadium and it is east to get out.
Convenient, easy in and out, reasonably priced.
A little challenging to find; but appreciated the location and relative comfort of a private parking space, rather than being congested with other fans.
As advertised Very Easy
The space is conviently located near Wrigley. It is easy in and out. I would recommend a midsize to small vehicle. It can be very tight for a large SUV.
Exactly as advertised. Easy to find. However larger vehicles will have a harder time parking as the space width was literally 2" wider than my tires on my Ford Expedition. Novice parkers will definitely need a spotter.
This is an outdoor lot that is behind a private apartment building. Look for a sign that says 3365 N. Clark.
This location is a residence.
Nearby destinations: Vic Theatre, Cubby Bear, Chicago Goose Island-Wrigleyville, The ComedySportz Theatre, Red Ivy.
Roscoe is a one way street going west. Take Halsted to Roscoe going West. Right before you hit Clark, you will see a parking lot located on the left hand side. You will see an alley that you can enter on the left. Go through the alley and immediately to your right look for a sign that says 3365 N. Clark. These spots are parallel to Roscoe Street.

Since 2008, George, a reading therapy dog, has been coming to the Auburn Library as part of the national Reading Education Assistance Dogs® (R.E.A.D. ®) program to read with children. It's true, dogs can't read, but they can listen and listening to children read is what George does best.
Throughout the school year, George arrives every Tuesday from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Auburn Library, 350 Nevada Street. Children can bring their own books or borrow books to read. The R.E.A.D. program is designed for children ages five and older but George will read with children of any age. She likes to see picture books and learn numbers, colors and shapes with the younger children. No appointment is necessary and the program is free. Each child is rewarded with a free book to keep after reading 10 books to George.
"Paws to Read has been a great service to offer our young readers throughout the school year," explained Sophie Bruno, youth services librarian at the Auburn Library. "So many of our participants get so excited when Tuesday afternoon comes back around and they get to read to George! It's so important to us that we foster that excitement -- that we have programs for our youth that get them excited about reading and encourage them to look forward to coming to the library."
George is a female, yes, female Mini Schnauzer owned by Helen Kline Kranz and Paul Kranz. She is registered as a therapy dog through Love on a Leash, the Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy, a California pubic-benefit nonprofit organization that works closely with R.E.A.D.
R.E.A.D. was launched in 1999 as a literacy program offered through the non-profit organization Intermountain Therapy Animals. The program uses animals to encourage children to read. Too often children are embarrassed to read out loud in class, afraid of making a mistake and being made fun of by peers. The R.E.A.D. program helps to build self-confidence in children.
After reading to George for several weeks in a row, children have been known to increase their excitement about reading, their comprehension of what they read, their performance in other subjects and their participation in class. According to Mrs. Kranz, children often relax and begin to pet George while they are reading. Before they know it, the children are reading with tone, expression and feeling. The children begin to interact with the story and discover that reading is exciting, which makes learning exciting, said Mrs. Kranz. Research has shown that a child's life can be transformed through confidence in reading. The R.E.A.D. program helps to take away the fear of judgment and competition that children face and gives them the opportunity to develop positive habits about school, studying and learning through a relaxed and non-judgmental reading experience.
Animal-assisted therapy is successfully used in many programs. For example, George was named after a famous Mini Schnauzer who could sniff out skin cancer on people even before they were aware they had it. George has been used in many therapy programs, including nursing homes, residential treatment programs for cerebral palsy, day-care facilities for Alzheimer patients, residential foster care programs and after-school programs. However, Mrs. Kranz is convinced that, of all these worthy programs, reading with children is George's favorite.
"What I find most rewarding about the program is watching a child begin to blossom and enjoy reading," said Mrs. Kranz. "It is fun to witness the confidence in a child increase as he or she improves in reading. You can just see all the stress go away and the kids start to open up and relax as they read. It is very satisfying and rewarding to be a part of this program; knowing you are making a difference in the life of a child that will carry with them their whole lives."
George welcomes new friends with open paws to come and read with her throughout the year.

Four hundred twenty-five million dollars is a lot of money. Even after state and federal taxes are deducted, a fortune would remain.
It is a fortune many people, including residents of West Virginia and Ohio, will be attempting to gain by purchasing state lottery Powerball tickets. When this week's winning Powerball numbers are drawn Wednesday night, the jackpot is expected to have reached $425 million.
Even people who normally refrain from gambling away their hard-earning money will be tempted to buy Powerball tickets this week, because of the enormous jackpot. There's nothing wrong with spending a couple of dollars for a chance at the money.
But the odds of winning are infinitesimally small. They have been estimated at one in 175,223,510. You are about 175 times more likely to be struck by lightning this year, according to the National Weather Service.
So don't be blinded by the tiny prospect of riches. As lottery officials say, play responsibly. Almost inevitably, you'll lose whatever you bet.

Grumpig is pretty cool, but it cannot be used in anything except the UU environment. There, however, it is one of the premier special tanks.
Substitute and then proceed to Calm Mind when against other special attackers. The more Calm Minds you get, the harder the Substitute will be to break. Hidden Power Dark is your best bet against enemy Psychics like Grumpig and Hypno, and is usually the best choice. Ice Punch can hit a common physical attacker, Gligar, very hard. It also does a tad more to Fearow than Psychic. Fire Punch is mostly for BL-allowed tournaments to hit Steelix.
Use Trick to get rid of the Choice Band for, hopefully, some Leftovers. Proceed to Calm Mind and attack as you would with the first moveset. You could also use Substitute in that third slot, if you really want.
Other Options
Counter + Calm Mind is really deadly. Calm Mind, Thick Fat, and Grumpig's naturally high Special Defense will protect it from special attacks, so your opponent will naturally try and use physical attacks on Grumpig. This is where you hit them with Counter, setting you up for an unimpeded sweep. Grumpig can use Toxic to stop enemy Grumpig and Hypno better, but you'll want to pump Speed for this, to make sure you can get in a Toxic before they Substitute. You can Focus Punch with some Attack EVs to hit Kangaskhan and Aggron on the switch. Magic Coat can reflect random status, especially Toxic.
Focus on Special Attack and HP, and give it a little bit of Speed.
Checks and Counters
For the Trick Band set, bringing in any Choice Bander to take the Trick will send Grumpig running and hamper its usefulness. For the special sweeper set, ironically Trick Band Grumpig or Trick Band anything will stop it dead. Seismic Toss Hypno will also be enough to stop Grumpig from sweeping, unless it has Hidden Power Dark.

104th Division (Institutional Training)
Definition/Scope: The old 104th Infantry Division - nicknamed the Timberwolf Division - is a division of the United States Army that fought for 195 consecutive days during World War II. Some 34,000 men served with the division under the leadership of General Terry Allen, who was much admired despite his nickname, "Terrible Terry". The division's first action came in October of 1944 during the taking of Achtmaal and Zundert in Holland. It then participated in the Battle of the Bulge, advanced through the Siegfried line and across the Inde River into Cologne, and it helped complete the encirclement of the Ruhr pocket. Finally, it made a 350-mile sweep to the Mulde River in the heart of Germany. The division was particularly renowned for its night fighting prowess. On 1 December 1946, the Division was formally reactivated as a reserve infantry division at Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Then, in June 1959 the Division was reorganized as a "Training" Division, and in October 1978 the Division assumed its mobilization mission of opening and operating an Army Training Center for the conduct of BCT for initial entry Soldiers. In 1990, nearly 150 Soldiers from the 104th Division (Training) volunteered for and participated in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In October 1994, the 104th Division (Training) reorganized with two BCT training brigades by merging one brigade from the 91st into the 104th Division (Training) while retaining one brigade from the 104th's original structure. A year later the 104th Division structure changed again and it was reorganized into an "Institutional Training" Division. This reorganization saw the merger the two remaining BCT training brigades into the 1st Training Brigade; establishment of four TASS BDEs, establishment of the 3rd BDE (Combat Support), 4th BDE (Combat Service Support), 5th BDE (Health Services), 6th BDE (Professional Development); and the redesignation of the Training Support Brigade as the 7th BDE (Training Support). The 104th Division (IT) created the four TASS BDEs by assuming responsibility for all the prior existing Army Reserve schools within the western region and reorganizing those schools into the designated brigade headquarters and their subordinate battalions. The 104th DIV (IT) Headquarters remains located at Vancouver Barracks. Currently, the Division consists of 3,350 citizen Soldiers, men and women; officers and enlisted, serving in reserve centers located throughout the "Western Region". This Western Region consists of the 13 western states from North Dakota, south to New Mexico, and all US territory to the west. In summary, the 104th Division (Institutional Training) is responsible for all 'Non-Combat" related skill training for over 80,000 Western Region Soldiers in the USAR and NG. Upon mobilization the 104th Division will relocate to Fort Bliss, Texas and establish an Army Training Center for the conduct of BCT. The Division TASS BDEs will replace or augment instructors/support personnel at proponent schools allowing for the enhancement of the proponent's ability to accomplish their training mission. The 104th has been reorgainzed once agan as the 104th Training Division (Leader Training). It is still a subordinate command under the 84th Training Command.

Does the fact that I instantly knew who she was mean I spend to much time looking at Guitar Porn?
I think that photo needs a "caption contest"! What is Brent thinking right now ?

I want to see boobs, I just take my own shirt off now, and look in the mirror. No begging or unnecessary foreplay involved.
Same level of excitement (not much).
And unless I'm wearing my bifocals, I can't even tell it's me.
Nor can I remember.

I feel like I've read this thread before. Hans posting boobie pics, Les with some old man humor, everyone cheering for Rebecca and Shawn trying to act like we should be, in some way, shape or form, reasonable adults - even though he wants nothing of the sort.
good start! Who's got more pics of Ms. Dirks...or any other NAMM chicks???

My friend has an officially unlocked Iphone 3GS with 4.1 OS. Battery started dying on him slowly and he was unable to charge the phone with it at all for a few days. Last friday the battery completly died and his iphone is nothing but a black mirror now.
I told him I can help him out with my friends in the world.
Anyone can help me with this? or should I go back to him and tell him that I was full of it!!

Date Range:
01/01/1940 To 05/08/1945
He came to the school to pick up two three containers full of kitchen leftovers. When we had turnips or 'pom' he would have four or five. He would take it back to the house and boil it up in a wood fired boiler that was in the outhouse. When it had cooled he would mix in some corn and other things and feed it to the ducks, geese, rabbits and chickens that he kept in the 350'x100' garden.
Can you imagine how wonderful it was? We had our own zoo. You could sit in the pens and play with the rabbits and the ducklins. We soon found out that you kept an eye on the geese and some of the chickens, but we were learning about places that we had never been to before.The garden was a veritable farmyard and the racket some morniongs was dreadful.
The chicken runs and rabbit hutches were along the side of the garden. In the center he grew vegetables in raised beds. These were to supplement the tomatoes, cabbages,beets, peas, beans, carrots and spinich and herbs that he got from a large allotment that he cultivated in the sidings in Goreham. The raised beds were made out of railway sleepers, what else! and at the end of them was a double row of rhubarb, which provided seemingly endless repeats of puddings and pies, until in the end you did have to say "Not rhubarb again!"
Bottling meant that we could have the red sticks December to December.
Taking a side road for a moment, how poor are those who did not have puddings and pies (almost sounds like a quotation from Dickens) and what a lovely word is Rhubarb. No wonder Monty Python like it so much. I can't remember if we had spam; probably wasn't invented then.
One bed was surrounded by herb plants, but mostly mint that were grown in sunken chimney pots which made a mint jelly when combined with apple. Thyme of course, and lemon balm from which Auntie made a tea, and sorrel which we hated. Tasted like soapy flannels but was supposed to be good for the blood.. Mine was red but Auntie kept trying to turn it green.
Uncle's day off, which were few, he would spend time at his allotment. If Auntie couldn't find him anywhere, she would ring up the signal box at the sidings at Goreham Junction, and leave a message for the signalman to look out for him. We were with him one day, weeding the rows of carrots, when somebody started blowing blasts on a trumpet or something. It was quite good; sounded like 'Come to the cookhouse door.' When uncle heard it he said "You boys keep on with the weeding and I'll bring you back a glass of lemonade each." and off he would stride through the shoulder high grass towards the signalbox.
We sat down because it was hot, but he was soon back carrying two glasses.
"Your Auntie wants us to pick up some blue bags on the way home and see if we can get some soap. Soap was rationed but some shops made their own and youcould tell them by the smell. Ghastly it was.
On the way back we went up to see the signalman, Mr Beckman, who uncle said had worked for the railway all of his working life which was thirty five years. He looked a lot older than thirty five, and he spoke ever so funny and I couldn't understand a word that he said. Uncle had to repeat everything. He was asking if we wanted a go on his bugle, and we had a blow but hardly stirred the grass. He took it off Chris and played 'Cookhouse' again and we then realised that it was all he could play, but it didn't matter.
When we left uncle said the Mr Beckman spoke a deep Essex dialect and that he couldn't understand half of what he said either. He found that if he just kept nodding and grunting and doing mime, that it usually sufficed. They did sound a bit like two grunting apes in a cage, but I'm sure somebody knew every word he said somewhere.
The nearest town of any size, apart from Sudbury, which was more a farmers town, was Colchester, and every now and again, and by that I mean perhaps once a month, aunt Edna and mom would
get uncle to drive them in on a shopping expedition.
They went to get the little extra's that made life bearable, but even so they could live fairly well without the big town and shops and their prices.
Every day the milkman and the breadman called at the houses in Railway Row. Aunt Edna baked a lot of her own bread, but there was sometimes a day when she was short and the breadman was there with his horse and cart about seven. The milkman arrived about seven thirty. Once or sometimes twice a week a man selling wet fish would stop outside the houses and ring a large hand bell. The melting ice from his cart would leave a large puddle mark in the dust which cats and flies found interesting. Another horse drawn van selling groceries would come past a couple of times a week, followed the same day, but in the afternoon, by one that sold everything from candles and washboards to mustard powder by the scoup to hair pins by the handful. If you were prepared to pay you could get an ice man to call, but as most people cooked every day and milk lasted longer if you boiled it, he wasn't seen often.
Eggs were fresh from the garden but at Romford we had a bucket of eggs that we kept in the dark down in the shelter. They were kept in a solution of isinglass which kept them from going bad but they had a peculiar taste. The eggs at aunties were at the most, a day old, and what we didn't use would sometimes go to neighbours.
A man called sometimes who was on a kind of motorcycle with a workbox built out over the front wheel. He sharpened knives and tools on a stone that was turned by a chain connected to pedals over the front wheel on a cross bar. He would open the front of the box and inside he had all sorts of tools and shoe lasts on which he would place your shoe or boot and put new soles or heels. He kept tin tacks in his mouth while he was repairing the shoes and taking one from between his lips, would drive it into the sole in the right place with one blow. We counted the tacks one day, although they were going as we were counting and I made twenty six and Chris made twenty.
He could also repair carpet sweepers and Singer sewing machines for which he carried spares. The sing on his work box was a Singer sign. It was shiny and was covered in a wax and we would stand there and scrape it off with our finger nail while we watched him work. He didn't seem to mind. He was a 'Jack of all Trades' my mother said.

Notre Dame, the team whose fan base apparently doesn't care that they don't win anything important anymore.
Notre Dame's Under Armour deal reportedly largest in college sports
Notre Dame's predicted shift from adidas to Under Armour was first reported weeks ago, but the terms were not yet known. On Tuesday, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced that the 10-year gear-and-apparel contract qualifies as the most lucrative in college sports.
ESPN's Darren Rovell later reported on Twitter that the deal is worth about $90 million.
Swarbrick said Notre Dame has the option to take some of its payments in Under Armour stock.
From the South Bend Tribune:
"We couldn't be more excited about this opportunity," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said at a press conference held at the Guglielmino Athletics Complex. "By any measure, it is the largest deal of its kind in the history of collegiate athletics."
ELLIS: NFL Draft entry winners and losers
Notre Dame began its previous partnership with adidas in 1997. Under Armour also outfits Maryland, Northwestern, Auburn, South Carolina and Boston College, among other schools.
Under Armour's 10-year deal w/Notre Dame is worth about $90 million. Could be worth more (or less) depending on stock price

Why Adoption is a Great Option
DA6available now, a Glen Allen Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Glen Allen, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Glen Allen.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Glen Allen already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Glen Allen breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Glen Allen paves the way for another one to be saved.

Printing press Business Card Holder
After spending a week in Alaska with the owners of a printing company, I decided I needed to make something special to show my appreciation for all their hospitality. I decided on business card holders that would mean something. So I came up with my on design of an ABDick 360 shoot press. The press is no long made but at the time they got into the business, it was the backbone of their business, It is made out of all Indiana hardwood from my Father In-Law's saw mill. Popular, Cherry and Walnut are the majority of it. It was made with many tools including a router, table saw, 18 volt + one drill, and orbital and spindle sanders. It was intricate but not as difficult once all my jigs were made. I made a total of 12 of them. This one was the one I made to hold my business cards. I don't know where I'd be with out my Ryobi tools.

PORTLAND — A modern design for a new 400-plus-seat performance hall on Munjoy Hill is drawing concern from residents and city staff.
This architect's rendering shows a 54-foot tall structure with metal siding proposed by the Friends of the St. Lawrence Church.
The Friends of the St. Lawrence Church are proposing the building of a modern 400-seat performance hall where the building's sanctuary once stood at 76 Congress Street in Portland.
John Ewing / Staff Photographer
The Friends of the St. Lawrence Church wants to build a 54-foot-tall building with metal siding at the corner of Congress and Munjoy streets to replace an old stone church sanctuary that was demolished in 2008.
The friends originally proposed a hall that would replicate the 19th-century Gothic-style exterior of the church and a parish hall that still stands. The church roof collapsed in 2006 and was deemed a public safety hazard by the city.
However, donors balked at the project's $12 million to $17 million cost, so the group pursued a more affordable option, said Deirdre Nice, the group's executive and artistic director. Donors and fundraisers directed the group to design a $7 million project.
The new plan calls for a cube-shaped building with a perforated metal skin, a raised plaza overlooking the sidewalk and an upper-story promenade room, architect David Lloyd said in a Nov. 12 letter to the city.
"I love the modern aspect to it," Nice said.
"We're planning on building a building that will be an artistic beacon for Munjoy Hill that will add to the viability of the arts and the neighborhood in general."
The friends group currently holds theater and music shows in the 110-seat parish hall, which was renovated in 2001 and would remain a part of the new hall. But Nice said the venue is too small to make necessary investments in the building while also meeting the group's $160,000 annual budget.
Residents on Tuesday were heartened to hear that a more robust performance space is in the works for the hill, but offered conflicting views of the boxy modern design.
"Knowing the neighborhood like I do, I think a lot of people are going to want the historic preservation," said David Sedrone, 48, who lives in the West End but works on the hill.
The nonprofit group will present the new plan on Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. to the Historic Preservation Board, which will evaluate whether the design is compatible with the neighborhood. It's the first step in a lengthy process that will require Planning Board approval and fundraising before it can move forward.
Elizabeth Fraser runs Fraser Art Studios across Congress Street from the St. Lawrence. She has painted more than 50 paintings of the iconic bell tower.
Fraser was elated when told of the plans to rebuild the hall were moving forward, but was disappointed the new plans would not replicate the old structure.
Nevertheless, she is confident the friends group will do right by the neighborhood.
"I trust that community to do something that fits the neighborhood parameters," the 41-year-old artist said, after taking time to rein in her thoughts and emotions.
"I've seen designs of old and modern mixed. When done right, it can be beautiful."
Vesper Street resident Erin Quigley said she didn't know much about the project and was eager to learn more. A neighborhood meeting will take place on Dec. 10 at 5:30 p.m., at the East End Community School.
But Quigley's initial reaction to preliminary drawings going before the historic board was that the building looked "huge" compared to its surroundings.
"I think it would be awesome to have a better arts venue on the hill, but that looks a little bit excessive," said Quigley, a 31-year-old environmental consultant.

Comments about GETAWAY STRIPE TANK:
I actually returned this top. I ordered it in green for St. Patricks day and when it showed up the hemline was completely crooked. I guess it doesn't show this in the picture because they model has it tucked in but it wasn't mentioned in the description. Didn't like the angle so I returned it.

Carter County 16-18 softball gearing for Southeast Regional
By Tim Chambers
For the first time in league history, Carter County American Little League will send one of its teams into uncharted waters since joining the association in 1950.
The 16-18 year-old ladies softball team will leave on Thursday to take part in the Senior League Softball Southeast Regional to be played in Clearwater, Fla.
The team defeated Jefferson County in a best two-out-of-three event recently to win the state championship, qualifying them for the automatic berth. Should the Americans emerge as the top team, from there they would play in the World Series — which will be televised by ESPN2.
Many of the names and faces on Carter County's roster are familiar ones to local softball fans. Elizabethton, Happy Valley, Johnson County, Unicoi County and Sullivan East are the five high schools that will be represented.

Fruitvale Station
Fruitvale Station (No Rating)
This follows the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina, who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana, their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing (more...)paths with friends, family, and strangers, Oscar starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year's Day. Oscar's life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area - and the entire nation - to its very core.No show times found for selected day.

I hope to God that this isn't like the horrid ova. (Should have delivered some girlxgirl then it would have been fine.)
so is it a continuation of the ova? or a whole new remake?
They are saying it's prolly going to be a continuation. The OVA was sort of like a teaser for the anime.
Oh, thank god. I liked the ova, but was pissed on how it ended. Still have the ova on my ps3. xD
I like the art style, but I'm getting too many bleach/super alter-ego vibes from it.
OP is updated, and the first episode is out. You can get it LINK REMOVED or at the top of the page. Get watching and start discussing. C:

Torrenting isn't illegal if the thing that you are downloading is already free. Black Rock Shooter wasn't licensed at the time that I posted the link.

Comments about Pink Power Ranger Adult Women's Costume:
10 or 15 of us ordered Power Rangers costumes for a music concert. Some ordered the t-shirts, others the t-shirt dresses. Two of us ladies ordered this costume and, I have to admit, the other ladies were envious! Shiny, stretchy material, this costume is flattering and comfortable. The placement of the elastic in the back is a bit odd, but it fits better than other costumes in the same price point. Yes, you will be able to see cleavage (for better or worse)! Size down from S, M, L catagories (ex. I usually wear L in costumes, but bought M). The forearm bands finish the costume off well, the the glasses are hugely uncomfortable. I can't use them.
Comments about Pink Power Ranger Adult Women's Costume:
This was just what I was looking for since our group decided on a super hero theme. I typically am a size 6-8 so I ordered a medium and the fit is perfect! Does show a bit more in the front circle but a white undershirt works well. Looks great with the white boots! All set to save someone on Halloween!!
Comments about Pink Power Ranger Adult Women's Costume:
This was a cute costume and all, but I was expecting the bottom of the dress to be tight like how it looks in the photo. The bottom wasn't that tight, and it was especially loose at the butt. In fact, I'm going to say the costume is only attractive in the front, and the back looks cheap because it's just pink with nothing there.
Also, I'm not sure if it was just ME, but the hole that's suppose to shows off a little cleavage, showed a little too much for me, almost exposing my nipples that my girlfriends had to keep tugging the dress up for me from time to time the whole night.

Comments about Pink Power Ranger Adult Women's Costume:
Just bought this the other day to wear for Halloween have been wanting to do power rangers for a while but never could find the costume and didn't really want to go for the full spandex suit. Costume looks exactly like the picture and fits really well. Large was the only size left but it was perfect, not too lose but didn't cling. The accessories were cute but kind of wished there were boot covers. So excited to wear it for Halloween! It's a fun take on the idea :).

Comments about Pink Power Ranger Adult Women's Costume:
Me and my husband dressed as Power Rangers for the kids on our street (red and pink). The costume looks exactly as it did in the picture its a stetchy metallic material, i did buy a large even though it fit a bit loose and long since the medium was too tight oh and im 5'7" about 155lbs. Though since it did fit loose i wore an undershirt so that my chest wouldnt show too much through the hole on the chest area. I was pleased with the entire costume and wore it with knee high socks to create the boot effect. The back does close with velcro which is sufficient.
The only thing i didnt like was that the googles/glasses were wierd fitting and a bit small. But if your only wearing it for a small amount of time theyll be fine. (deffinitly not at night lol)
Overall its a great costume!!

Now if only they thought dinner had the same appeal.We asked food photographer, stylist, and blogger Karen Mordechai, founder of Sunday Suppers, for a family-friendly meal that looks as good as it tastes. A new mom herself, Mordechai suggests throwing a couple of things into the (mini) pot.I used to spend hours cooking our dinners — it's one of my favorite things to do to unwind from the day. Time is much more valuable these days, so we've signed up for a CSA and get amazing fruits and vegetables every week. I use them to make a big pot of soup with seasonal veggies, salads, and crostini.

Designed to encourage Good Form Running, which features an upright posture and joint-friendly midfoot striking with a high cadence, it balances a low 4mm-drop design and featherweight materials with underfoot protection.

New Balance offers a variety of minimalist-oriented running shoes; the MR10v2 falls in the middle of the range, between the featherweight, zero-drop Minimus Zero shoe and the MR20 shoe. If you're an experienced minimalist-style runner, but looking for more cushioning than the Zero offers, you'll prefer the MR10; runners just making the transition and getting used to this new style might select the MR20.

ADA Fluoridation Policy & Statements
American Dental Association Supports Fluoridation
The American Dental Association unreservedly endorses the fluoridation of community water supplies as safe, effective and necessary in preventing tooth decay. This support has been the Association's position since policy was first adopted in 1950.
Fluoridation of Water Supplies (Trans.1950:224)
Resolved, that in the interest of public health, the American Dental Association recommends the fluoridation of municipal water supplies when the fluoridation procedure is approved by the local dental society and utilized in accordance with the standards established by the responsible health authority, and be it further
Resolved, that the American Dental Association recommends the continuation of controlled studies of the benefits derived from the fluoridation of water supplies.
Since the inception of water fluoridation, the American Dental Association has carefully monitored scientific research regarding safety and efficacy. Based on that review, the Association has continually reaffirmed water fluoridation as the most effective public health measure for the prevention of dental caries and strongly urges that its benefits be extended to those served by communal water systems. In 1997, the ADA House of Delegates confirmed its support for fluoridation by setting forth a comprehensive policy statement.
Operational Policies and Recommendations Regarding Community Water Fluoridation (Trans.1997:673)
- The Association endorses community water fluoridation as a safe, beneficial and cost-effective public health measure for preventing dental caries.
- The Association supports the position that all communal water supplies that are below the optimum fluoride level recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service (a range from 0.7–1.2 parts per million) should be adjusted to an optimum level.
- The Association urges individual dentists and dental societies to exercise leadership in all phases of activity which lead to the initiation and continuation of community water fluoridation, including making scientific knowledge and resources available to the community and collaborating with state and local agencies.
- The Association encourages individual dentists and dental societies to utilize Association materials on the community organization and public education aspects of fluoridation.
- The Association encourages states to utilize the corps of experts in the area of fluorides and fluoridation that is maintained through appropriate Association agencies in order to promote the safety, benefits and cost-effectiveness of fluoridation.
- The Association encourages governmental agencies and philanthropic organizations to make funding available to communities seeking to adjust the fluoride content of the community's water supply to the optimal level.
- The Association supports the following actions to maintain the quality of national community water fluoridation and its infrastructure:
- performance of a community water fluoridation infrastructure needs assessment by state health departments where such information is not currently available;
- allocation of needed resources to appropriate state agencies to upgrade and maintain the fluoridation infrastructure; and
- observance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Engineering and Administrative Recommendations for Water Fluoridation—1995 by fluoridated water systems in all states.
