FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- As the Umbrella Open trudges along, now three weeks uh, three days into our stay on Long Island, we have come to really appreciate meteorologists, agronomists and psychologists.
The weather experts and grounds crew have had to work overtime here at the Black, which describes not only the name of the Bethpage venue but also the skies overhead.
But it is the sports psychologists employed by numerous golfers who should be charging double time this week at the 109th U.S. Open.
How else do you cope with the myriad issues presented here?
Bad weather, brutal golf course, starts, stops it adds up to a long, frustrating existence, even if you think the best golfers in the world have it pretty good.
"It throws you off your rhythm," said Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, playing in his first U.S. Open. "I know everyone says just take it one hole at a time, but you really do in these circumstances, because you don't know how many holes you're going to get. I've played six holes today, and I might only play six holes. I didn't play any on Thursday. I played 30 yesterday.
"So you sort of really don't know. I might go out today; I might not. You've just got to do whatever you can do to feel prepared, and you have to be ready to go out and play when you're asked."
As it turned out, McIlroy -- who declared he was going back to his accommodations "just to chill out" because he had such a quick turnaround from Friday night to Saturday morning -- got a 5:46 p.m. ET tee time for the third round. He completed five holes before rain suspended play Saturday night.
The doom-and-gloom weather forecast proved to be just another shot in the rough. Al Roker was in the NBC broadcast booth providing updates, but he was about as accurate as Ernie Els -- who missed the cut of 4 over by 11 shots.
The bad stuff was supposed to roll in around noon, then 2 p.m., then 4 p.m. Although it threatened early in the day, the rains finally came around 7 p.m.
So there were certainly a few players who completed their second rounds Saturday morning who might have figured they were done for the day. "Sure doesn't sound like it," David Duval said after finishing well before noon when asked whether he thought he'd play any more Saturday.
Duval proved to be right, but barely. His 7:06 p.m. tee came just after play was suspended. He was surprisingly tied for fourth, just 5 shots back of another pool buster, Ricky Barnes, who set the U.S. Open 36-hole scoring record of 132. Barnes never hit a shot during the third round.
"It's not ideal, but it is what it is, and you just -- you play when you're told to play, and you do your best to be fully prepared and mentally ready," Duval said.
With more rain expected to fall Saturday night and into Sunday and the area under a flood watch, it remains impossible to predict how all this will play out. Do they get the championship decided Sunday? Maybe just part of it, necessitating a Monday finish? Or could a good bit be washed out Sunday, meaning a marathon Monday?
The best way to deal with it? Don't worry, be happy.
"We've done it before," said Tiger Woods, the defending champion who found himself 11 strokes out of the lead after playing one hole of the third round. "We've played so many years out here on tour. It is what it is. It rains. You're called off. You're pulled back in. You get ready, go back out. No lightning, I think we'll continue playing."
So which is more eyebrow-raising, Tiger's falling 11 behind, or the guy he trails by that much, Barnes?
Woods has not played that poorly, but his four-hole stretch to complete the first round -- when he went double-bogey, bogey, par, bogey -- is what separates him from a realistic shot of winning his fourth U.S. Open to having to almost ask for a miracle.
Lou Graham overcame an 11-shot, 36-hole deficit in 1975 at Medinah, where he defeated John Mahaffey in a playoff. So it's possible, certainly. Barnes, the 2002 U.S. Amateur champion, has not so much as sniffed contention in his rookie year on the PGA Tour and is no lock to finish this off. Neither is Lucas Glover, Peter Hanson, Duval or Azuma Yano, a Japan Tour player competing in his first U.S. Open.
The list of guys leading the U.S. Open is only slightly less bizarre than this weather deal and all the mental challenges it has presented.
"I'm amazed we've got a full round of golf in today," said Lee Westwood, who began the third round just 6 shots back and didn't complete a hole in the third round. "I thought the weather forecast was looking pretty dicey, and probably still is.
"So fingers crossed, get a few holes in tonight and maybe get finished Sunday night. But if it all goes into Monday, it goes into Monday. Just about everything has been thrown at us this week, so why not a Monday finish, too?"
Why not?

I've had some trouble figuring out how to store a data value, then re-uploading the value into the game.
Code:m = rm_0//object integrated successfully obj_fire.x+30 obj_fire.y-15 y=//generate random number here [0]=0<x<5 [1]= 0 [2]= 0 [3]= 0 file.save(savegame)
I would try to setup multiple arrays to define the value, but the result would come out a 'y equals' solution. The game saves a different value, but loads a the returning file. Is there a better way to reformat this? I've tried other ways, but came to no avail.

Let me make this clear. Adrian Gonzalez is an All-Star. He is a crucial member of the Red Sox and a great player. The Boston Red Sox would not be as good without him. What I am saying is that so far this year Dustin Pedroia has been more valuable than Adrian Gonzalez.
Gonzalez is a great hitter, the best on the Red Sox. But Pedroia isn't that far behind and has the advantage in fielding, speed and leadership, making him a more complete package.

Office of Facilities Management and MaintenanceThe Office of Facilities Management and Maintenance (OFMM) provides guidance and support to the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), state agencies and the Administration on the preservation of capital assets through the development of comprehensive and cost-effective maintenance and management strategies.
Capital Asset Management Information ProgramDCAMM, in partnership with ANF-IT, administers the state's capital asset management information platform. The platform currently comprises a legacy system called CAMIS, and a new system named Tririga/New CAMIS. Work is underway to migrate all legacy system users to Tririga/New CAMIS.
Facilities Management and Maintenance Standards (FMMS)
FMMS are intended to serve as minimum standards for all state-owned facilities and represent the current best practices for facilities management and maintenance. FMMS are designed to meet the Commonwealth's commitments, maximize the efficiency of business processes, and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Service Delivery and Quality Performance Requirements (SDQPR)
The SDQPRs describe how services will be performed and managed to meet the requirements established in the Facility Management and Maintenance Standards (FMMS) for Commonwealth facilities. The SDQPRs also establish consistency in service delivery and a method for measuring performance over time.
Maintenance Information for State Facilities Professionals & Massachusetts Facilities Management Association (MAFMA)A network of state facilities managers that meet periodically to discuss specific topics of interest with the aim toward increased information sharing and problem solving.
Statewide Accessibility Initiative
DCAMM's Statewide Accessibility Initiative was conceived in 2010 as a program to assist Commonwealth's agencies make decisions that would improve their compliance with the American Disabilities Act (ADA), using a combination of policy development, program access planning, building operations and maintenance procedures, and priorities for capital spending.

This paper presents a system for the offline recognition of large vocabulary unconstrained handwritten texts. The only assumption made about the data is that it is written in English. This allows the application of statistical language models in order to improve the performance of our system. Several experiments have been performed using both single and multiple writer data. Lexica of variable size (from 10,000 to 50,000 words) have been used. The use of language models is shown to improve the accuracy of the system (when the lexicon contains 50,000 words, the error rate is reduced by ∼50 percent for single writer data and by ∼25 percent for multiple writer data). Our approach is described in detail and compared with other methods presented in the literature to deal with the same problem. An experimental setup to correctly deal with unconstrained text recognition is proposed.

Hamish Garrick has the Winter Olympics in his sights and is
working hard to get there.
Tomorrow he will leave for Obersaxen in Switzerland, where he
will participate in a training camp run by former Queenstown
ski coach Grant Stockman until early March, with the focus on
the Winter Games next year but also the 2018 Winter Olympics.
''I'm going to try for the 2018 [Olympics] - I'll be 21 then
- but if not, [the Olympics] four years after,'' Hamish said.
The 16-year-old Wakatipu High School student has been skiing
since he was 3 and for the past three years ski training and
schooling during the winter months have combined to create an
exhausting schedule.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays he, along with other
promising young athletes, would train from 8am to 12pm ''then
come down and go to regular school until 3.25pm''.
''After that we would have a teacher that stays with us in a
room until 6pm."
He admitted the schedule was ''extremely tiring'' but he had
been consistently improving, which puts him closer and closer
towards his ultimate goal.
''I've always had a goal to go to the Olympics."
He competes in the alpine races of giant slalom, slalom and
super giant slalom and when in Queenstown is a competitor in
competitions such as the Australia New Zealand Cup, held at
Coronet Peak this year.
Last year was the first time Stockman had run the camp, for
around 15 young athletes from throughout New Zealand, and
this will be Hamish's second year at the camp and his fourth
trip to Switzerland for skiing.
Fellow Wakatipu High School student Emma Gamson will also be
heading for Switzerland. This will be her first time at the
training camp.
Hamish's father, Alan Garrick, said skiing for Hamish was
''everything at the moment'' and despite the sport being
''incredibly expensive'' said it was great to see the hard
work put in by his son and others paying off.
Mr Garrick said while he visited Hamish for a couple of weeks
during his last stint in Switzerland, this year he was not
planning a trip.

Tongli, established in the Song Dynasty, has a history of over 1,000 years. It is very rich in cultural heritage. Traditional residences including gardens, houses and temples, built in the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, are the highlight of the city. Jiayin Hall built in 1922 is known for its fine carvings on the structure. Congben Hall built in 1911 is also known for its carvings on the structure. There are more than one hundred of well-preserved woodcarvings of traditional figures from Chinese classics.
Bridges are an important part of the city. The most famous bridges among the 49 bridges in Tongli are the three bridges named Taiping (peace), Jili (luck) and Changqing (celebration) bridges. The three bridges have now become the symbol of the city. Whenever there is an important occasion, such as a wedding, people will walk through the three bridges to wish peace, fortune, happiness and health in their lives.
There are also many traditional gardens in Tongli. Tuisi Garden is a classic of traditional Chinese gardens, which was constructed between 1885 and 1887 by Ren Langsheng, who was once an imperial scholar. The pavilions, terraces, halls, rockeries, ponds and other elements of the garden were harmoniously integrated together.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:15 PM GMT on May 31, 2006
The latest 2006 Atlantic hurricane season forecast from the forecast team at Colorado State University (CSU) was issued today. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray's forecast is unchanged from their earlier April 4 and December 6 forecasts, predicting 17 named storms (10 is average), nine hurricanes (six is average), and five intense hurricanes (2.3 is average). This is the highest level of activity they have forecast in their 23 years of making these predictions. They put the odds of a major (Category 3-4-5) hurricane crossing the U.S. coast at 82% (average for last century is 52%). The U.S. East Coast (including Florida) has a 69% chance of a major hurricane strike (31% is average), and the Gulf Coast, 38% (30% is average). In addition, there is an above-average risk of major hurricanes in the Caribbean.
The CSU team identified four years that had similar weather patterns in May compared to this year, and all four of these years had much above levels of hurricane activity: 2004 (six major hurricanes, three of which made landfall in the U.S.), 2001 (no hurricanes made landfall in the U.S., but there were two major hurricanes); 1996 (six major hurricanes, one of which hit the U.S.--Fran); and 1961 (seven major hurricanes, one of which hit the U.S.--Carla).
What the other hurricane forecasting groups are predicting for 2006:
NOAA forecast issued May 22, 2006:
13-16 named storms
8-10 hurricanes
4-6 intense hurricanes
Cuba's National Weather Institute prediction from May 2, 2006:
15 named storms
9 hurricanes
Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. May 5, 2006 forecast:
15 named storms
8 hurricanes
The CSU forecasters cite three main reasons to expect a very busy season:
1) Weaker trade winds than usual have led to anomalous warming of the tropical Atlantic since the early part of April. Sea surface temperatures remain much warmer than average, and are expected to be much warmer than average during the August-October peak of hurricane season.
2) No El Ni�o is expected to be present during August-October 2006. When the tropical Atlantic is warm, and no El Ni�o is present, Atlantic basin hurricane activity is greatly enhanced.
3) We continue to be in the positive phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), the decades-long cycle of natural hurricane activity.
The next forecast from the CSU group will be issued August 3.
Tomorrow--June 1--marks the beginning of hurricane season. I'll have a look at what we can expect for the month of June.

AbstractThe development of an intelligent, commercially available remote electro-optic/infrared surveillance system using the appropriate mix of agent technology, infrastructure, and personnel is critical to establishing and maintaining effective control of U.S. air, land, and maritime borders. The objective of the work to be conducted within this Phase II SBIR will be to transition the Intelligent Agent concepts developed in the SBIR Phase I effort to final product for improved sensor deployment and surveillance. This Phase II program will also utilize the appropriate hardware and software systems, and decision logic components of the Joint Unified Multi-capable Protection System (JUMPS). A near-commercial, Phase II remote electro-optic/infrared surveillance system (REISS) for ground-based medium-long range surveillance will be developed to validate the improved sensor deployment and surveillance performance capabilities provided by the addition of the Intelligent Agents. REISS, in summary, will utilize the Intelligent Agent techniques developed in the SBIR Phase I program to detect, track, identify, and classify items of interest (IOI) while managing the systems power consumption for situation awareness for control of air, land, and maritime borders.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 1988
Running Time: 80
Director: Eduardo Dinero
Company: Three Hearts Video
Cast: Jerry Butler, Nina Hartley, Nina DePonca, Marc Wallice, Peter North, Buck Adams
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
The premise of this feature has cable TV saleswoman Nina Hartley going door to door selling sexvision. Hartley beams shots of the cable TV show to the lucky couples to influence and stimulate their sexual purchasing power. The scenes starring Nina are red hot, and get great shots of the best rear in the business. It's a pleasure to watch this woman in action.
If you can get past an awkward opening scene with Jerry Butler playing out a fantasy in diapers, you're home free. The feature takes off when he ditches the Pampers. With crosscutting shots between what's going on at F-TV and in the living rooms, you'll find a highly erotic and stimulating feature including Nina's wind-up menage a trois with three women that's sensual and erotic. Good packaging to boot.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
London Fog vs. Light
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Not Just a Raincoat
The London fog serves to shroud or veil the city and make it eerie. Fog = obscurity, and the literal fog emphasizes the metaphorical fog surrounding the true identity of Hyde:
A maid servant living alone in a house not far from the river, had gone upstairs to bed about eleven. Although a fog rolled over the city in the small hours, the early part of the night was cloudless, and the lane, which the maid's window overlooked, was brilliantly lit by the full moon. It seems she was romantically given, for she sat down upon her box, which stood immediately under the window, and fell into a dream of musing. Never (she used to say, with streaming tears, when she narrated that experience), never had she felt more at peace with all men or thought more kindly of the world. (4.1)
The weather patterns of London seem perfectly suited to dastardly deeds done dirt cheap. Although there is "brilliant" moonlight early in the evening (which makes the maid feel at peace with all mankind), a really ominous fog rolls in when all hell is about to break loose.
You've also got firelight, lighted lamps, and light in general as the counterpoint to fog because of their safe, illuminating qualities.

GOP City Council Members Endorse Lhota, for Now
Bloomberg remains elusive.
Over the weekend, John Catsimatidis picked up an endorsement from former governor George Pataki, and now Joe Lhota is countering with support from several Republicans who are still in office. The New York Post reports that all four Republican members of City Council will announce later this week that they're backing the former MTA chief. Councilman Eric Ulrich called Catsimatidis a "buffoon" who "will never get elected mayor in New York," and Councilman James Oddo said, "I think there's a value in going to these Republican voters and saying, we've worked with Joe Lhota and we know he'd be the best candidate for mayor. He is by far the best candidate." Despite the high praise, their endorsement may have a limit.
Oddo, who happens to be a close ally of Christine Quinn, told the Post that he's only endorsing Lhota for the GOP primary. "I'm going to take this one step at a time," he said. "Maybe we'll do this again (in the general election)."
While it appears Lhota has won over one member of the Bloomberg family, the mayor is still being coy about his pick for a replacement. Mayor Bloomberg said on Monday, "I think that there's a real choice out there. The candidates are starting to say what they stand for, whether they're in favor of improving our schools, whether they're in favor of keeping you safe, whether they're in favor of keeping businesses from fleeing the city or not." He added that he hasn't decided if he'll make a public endorsement, but "I made up my mind a while ago." So presumably he isn't waiting for a last minute move from Hillary Clinton.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
So now that I've finished writing my new book, I figured I should get back to updating Legends Revealed. However, due to various reasons I won't bore you with here, I've decided to re-name the site Urban Legends Revealed.
As a result, I'll need new logos for the site's main page and for both Sports Legends Revealed and Entertainment Legends Revealed. Essentially just adding "Urban" to all three logos.
When I had Brandon Hanvey design the original logos, I had an idea of what they should look like, but then I realized, what do I know about logos? That's when it occurred to me that it would be interesting to do this as a contest.
If you're interested in designing a new logo for Urban Legends Revealed, Sports Urban Legends Revealed and Entertainment Urban Legends Revealed, e-mail me your designs for the three logos at email@example.com. I'll post all the entries here and people can vote on which ones they think looks the best. Let's put the deadline at…say…a month from today.
Don't take the current logos into consideration at all (except for the size of the space you have to work with, of course), just design what you think would look cool.
Whichever one I end up using gets a $50 prize/payment/whatever you want to call it (and, of course, a credit on the site as the logo designer).
I'm assuming this is also how you get paid by CBR? Jonah asks you and thousands of other people to submit fully researched and completed stories, and if he picks yours you get 50 bucks, and for everyone else they get nothing?
Or, more likely, are you hired up front and commissioned to write your article with payment guaranteed upon delivery of article?
Why should designers be treated with any less respect? What you are doing (asking people to submit work without guarantee of payment) goes against the professional practices of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts). You should formally hire a designer and commission him or her to design your logo, just as you are formally hired and commissioned to write the articles that appear on this site.
Or do professional standards only apply to writers and not designers?
For what it's worth Steely Dan, I am not paid for any of my CSBG writing work.
Let's be realistic here – no pro designer would work for $50.
So let's assume only amateurs enter. Then the opinion of the AIGA doesn't matter as it doesn't have the right to tell non-professionals and private citizens what to do.
If the logo isn't produced isn't as good as a professionally designed logo, then we're talking about two different levels. A lower quality, amateur logo for cheap versus an expensive professional logo. If it's just as good, then the AIGA has a whole different problem.
I'm a professional graphic designer. I get paid good money to design logos for clients, who will then go on to use those logos for commercial purposes and make more money off that brand identity.
I'm pretty sure that Brian (and no slight intended, Brian) is not trying to make money off this brand. This is a lark, a bit of fun, and a way for a reader with a creative flair to make some pretty art that he or she can point to and say "The logo for ULR? Yeah, I did that." The $50 isn't payment, it's incentive.
I'm the first to grab my pitchfork and torch when some company tries to crowdsource its graphic design, or reduce brand development into a "contest" for a pittance of what they would have paid a practiced designer. I'm not seeing that as the case here. And if I wasn't about to go into the hospital for awhile, I'd certainly enter, just for shats and giggles.
U need to get rid of that 5 years logo isnt it like 8 now??
I'm a third year design student, and I don't have a problem with this. If Brian was Nike, maybe, and I knew that he could afford to pay a pro to design something that's going to be used thousands of times over, and he was intentionally skimping by making it a "contest", that'd be a different issue. As is, this is a nice little hour-long job I can do when I'm procrastinating, maybe win something but I'm really just going to use it for the experience.
See, I'm a student designer too. This is a great way to get my name out, as well as make fifty bucks if I win. I'll probably change my mind when I graduate, but this really doesn't seem like a problem to me now. If you don't think this is worth your time, don't enter. Its really as simple as that in my eyes.
Great idea for you. How about throwing in some comic books. $50 is really not much for a decent logo.
Thanks for ware about this contest i will try my best to win this and get a big prize.
FWIW, as a professional designer, I'm not going to get up in arms over this…
But to you student designers? Contrary to what all of those posts on craigslist promise, this kind of thing really won't do that much in terms of "getting your name out there" in any valuable sense. Take my word for it, I've been there and done that.
That doesn't mean don't do it. Just be aware that you're getting fun and, at most, practice (neither of which is without value) out of the exercise rather than any sort of career boost.

I remember in 1983 my Christian sister saying she was going to start boycotting P&G because they were satan worshipers and it was all because of their corporate logo. THEN she decided that Subaru must be satan worshipers too. So pretty much any company with a logo that looks the least bit astrological MUST be in leagues with the devil.
the strange thing, bradley darling, is that i saw a woman wearing that weird proctor and gamble moon and stars logo as a pendant just MOMENTS ago in pike. i bet she had a dead baby in her handbag...and some downey.
That's such a hokey rumor to begin with. Satanism? Does that even make sense? Be sceptical of the intentions of corporate America, but c'mon. I don't even think there is, or ever was, an organized Church of Satan in 20th century America, unless these people were under the impression P&G was funneling their billions in revenue into Anton LaVey's 3 bedroom dump in the Outer-Sunset.
Since that civil suit victory is obviously symbolic, and they'll never get their $19MM out of these people, P&G could've saved themselves a ton in legal fees and just issued a press release saying "C'mon people, Satanism? Really?"
I do remember back in the 80s hearing about a proposed boycott of Proctor & Gamble because of their logo. I guess Evangelicals fear the moon and stars.
Notice: NONE of the stars are "upside-down".
I have it on good authority that Christian fundamentalists do believe in Satanists and are extremely paranoid about them. My father's fourth wife was one (a Christian fundamentalist, not a Satanist) and everytime a child kidnapping was in the news, she would blame it on the Satanists. Then, someone would find the kid's body and the murderer would turn out to be just your run-of-the-mill pedophile rapist/murderer.
The logic or illogic of an urban legend has no bearing on its spreadability. The story supposedly had the CEO of P&G going on the Donahue show to announce his allegiance to Satan, which is just plain ridiculous, but it never stopped the story from spreading.
The Amway choads are different, because they were spreading the story intentionally in order to harm a rival, which tells you more about the caliber of individuals at Amway than it does about P&G.
I always get mixed up with Marilyn Chambers being the Coppertone Girl instead of the Ivory Snow baby, but that was Jodie Foster (age 3).
The irony is that if any business is a cult, it's Amway.
It's interesting that, although probably not the case here, so many of these types of rumors about corporations are started by a rival to harm their business (I think Dr. Pepper = prune juice is an example, although I think that was from rival shipper/drivers, and I still might be confusing this).
I do "get" P&G stance on this - believable rumor or not - since these people were rightly stopped for intentionally inflicting hurt on their business by spreading lies, but still, it's amazing how many people were going for this.
It was weird how Satan - who'd for so long been used as a cheap Red Menace metaphor - got all mixed up and suddenly became "real" to people again in the 80's.
When I was a kid I'd had heard that Dr. Pepper was just "prune cola" so I never drank it, that is, until a couple years ago when the Lake City Taco Bell stopped selling Root Beer. I was on dialysis at the time. so had to avoid colas because of the potassium and phosphorus.
Anyway long story short, now I like Dr. Pepper, especially the stuff bottled in Dublin, Texas. They are the original Dr. Pepper bottling plant and the only one that still uses real sugar and old-fashioned 8oz glass bottles.
In 2004, Focus on the Family, and the American Family Association, organized a boycott of P&G products. According to news articles (L.A. Times, NY Times, WSJ), the boycott was in response to P&G's donation to a Cincinnati gay rights cause, and also for P&G's support of gay pride parades, and their advertising on such shows as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Will and Grace. Here's a quote from an L.A. Times article written by Stephanie Simon (11/01/2005)
"In e-mails urgent with bold-faced type, the group offered "proof" of Procter & Gamble's depravity by linking to an ad for Downy Wrinkle Releaser that ran in a Canadian magazine several years ago. The photo showed two men who had scattered their clothes in their rush to bed, with the caption: "You were more concerned with taking them off than folding them up."
That ad so outraged customers that 360,000 signed a vow to stop buying Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent and Pampers diapers. Thousands more clogged P&G's phone lines. "It was significant enough to draw our attention," spokesman Doug Shelton said."
In April of 2005, P&G pulled their ad dollars from gay themed tv shows and magazines. The boycott was then ended, and that's when I started avoiding P&G products. I did miss Pringles for a while, but I now find Lay's Stax to be a superior product. P&G was started in the 1800's by two guys... one made candles and one made soap. How gay is that? P&G also used to make Crisco. Thankfully, they sold it to Smuckers.
Bradley gets bonus points for quoting "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash.
him @ 7:
So true...I was (a long time ago) an Amway rep for a short time and the comparison to a cult is not too far off. I was given motivational audio tapes and the speakers' approach to 'spreading' the 'good news' of Amway wasn't too different than some tv preachers...
And here we learn strange things I happen to know a bunch about.
The P&G Satanism scare is just a small part of a larger Satanism scare in the late 70s/early 80s. It also tied into the ritual Satanic abuse scare that sent hundreds of (innocent) people to jail (see McMartin Trial, etc).
Evangelists and some women's rights groups were tapping into the repressed memories movement among psychiatrists and believed all these now shockingly foolish stories about Satanism, Satanic abuse, rapes, etc. Check out Michelle Remembers for a truly fascinating look into how all this garbage worked. It's a book written by a woman and her psychiatrist (later husband) about her "experiences."
Thanks History major.
Ahhh that's so crazy! I remember when I was a kid (in the 80s) my mom told us not to use proctor and gamble toothpaste cuz the symbol on the back of the tube meant they were evil satanists. We weren't even churchgoers, but apparentely she was spiritual

Staying with AKA is always a pleasure. Among all amenities and service, coming from another country it is nice to have access to a large range of foreign tv channels. Most may not notice this but when English is not your native language these are the touches that make you feel at home.

Cryonic Beauty by GarthFTWatch
©2011-2016 GarthFT
The latest in my series of twisted faerie tales: Sleeping Beauty, only a bit more like cryogenically-preserved beauty... which doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well, but who cares, there's a space dragon! Space Dragons and Laser Swords, who can say no to that?

! Good cryonic idea !
I saw your twisted fairy tale pinups presented in MoviePilot. My first thought was connected with an episode of Face Off - a reality show about make-up artists. The episode was called 'Twisted tales' and the contestants were supposed to create characters from famous fables in specific surroundings, eg. steampunk, science-fiction, ghost story, psychodelic. And I really wanted someone to make a science-fiction version of Sleeping Beauty! (no one did though).
This reminds me of Ripley at the end of the movie "Alien"
Oh wow, this pic is soooooo cool!!!!
This concept would mix so well with the Metroid series...only then I think I'd like to see their roles reversed.
Amazing piece of artwork, it's such a dramatic shot!
Amazing piece of artwork, it's such a dramatic shot!
OK ,If the Disney version was like this Id watch it more! Laser Swords Cryonic freeze , AND SPACE DRAGONS!!!! AWESSSSSSOOOOOMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This would make for a great new take on Sleeping Beauty!
space dragon? or... alien with dragon wings. cool idea. I see earth merged with saturn in the future too.
that is creepy and awesome.

Equipment Performance Specifications in Stereo Television Production and Transmission
The production, transmission, and faithful reproduction of a -stereo- program for television, whatever the intended artistic effect, depends on successful engineering of the entire system. It necessitates new techniques of measuring and controlling sound quality and increased vigilance from the engineers responsible for it.: This paper, primarily tutorial in nature, examines some of the many -black boxes- through which the stereo signal must pass and assesses their effect in both subjective and objective terms. Practical, empirical specifications for individual devices and the end-to-end system are presented, including techniques for measuring and correcting deficiencies where practical.

good value for money
Posted by adhd-researcher on Jun 26, 2016
you cannot absorb more than 500 mg every few hours so all the brands with 1000 mg, is that just to induce diarrhea when you are constipated ? you know: 1 gram every 15 min till you have loose stools and if you count all the grams of vit C you took until your "explosion", that is the limit of vit C you need per day it is cheap and in the "Ascorbic Acid" form, so NOT REAL VITAMINE C better take ascorbate, but even NOW FOOD , don't specify it is NON GMO sourced and many products are manufactured in CHINA have to read the small labels to find this out
Great price for the quality!
Posted by Reviewer1905589 on Jun 09, 2016
I like this brand, they provide good quality product for an exellent price. I will probably buy again from them this Vitamin C
Great value
Posted by ReaCovery on Nov 20, 2015
Great value for money if you want a medium dose, instant release ascorbic acid kind of C in a large quantity. Vitamin C is water soluble and is excreted from the body quickly. Instant release only lasts 2 - 3 hours, so its best to take a smaller amount, often through the day, rather than a high dose tablet once a day. Either that or take a slow release formula. But something is better than nothing and this is a good value something.
Very good product
Posted by 5559114849478280433 on Nov 07, 2015
Reasonably priced for 250 tablets and this product make me so much healthy.
Really worth the price

So big bottle for this kind of price is really worth it. Will definitely purchase again

ATMORE, Ala. (AP) - Two inmates who walked away from their work release jobs in Atmore are back in custody following their arrests early Monday at a motel in Pensacola, Fla.
Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Corbett said 34-year-old Charles Douglas Bales and 42-year-old John Rice fled from a work site on Sept. 17.
Corbett said a tip led officers to the motel.
Rice was serving a sentence out of Baldwin County for receiving stolen property. Bales was convicted of robbery.
Corbett said each man faces an escape charge and could serve additional jail time.

has_post_thumbnail is acting weird, it returns true for every single post, even though most of my posts don't have a featured image set. This is making it impossible for me to return another image for those posts that don't have a featured image.
These other posts that don't have any featured images have images attached to them inside the content, but they are not defines as featured images. Does has_post_thumbnail return true if there is a image file attached to the post? If so, is there any function that only returns true if the post has a Featured image?

All Blacks Pick Hoeata, Slade to Make Test Starting Debuts
New Zealand rugby selectors picked Jarrad Hoeata and Colin Slade to make their starting debuts in the All Blacks' season-opening Test against Fiji in two days.
Hoeata, who was the only uncapped player chosen in the 30-man squad on July 10, was named in the second row alongside Ali Williams, who returns to the national team for the first time since November 2008.
Slade, who twice broke his jaw during the Super Rugby competition, will make his first Test start as backup to first-choice No. 10 Dan Carter having previously come off the bench against Australia last year. The match in Dunedin is the first of five for the All Blacks before they open the Rugby World Cup on Sept. 9 against Tonga in Auckland.
"This is an important Test for us as we kick off this year's season," All Blacks Coach Graham Henry said in a statement. "We have got some real competition for places and it's exciting for those players picked and they will keen to put their best foot forward."
The All Blacks have played Fiji four times since 1987, winning 91-0 when the teams last met six years ago in Auckland.
ALL BLACKS: Wyatt Crockett, Andrew Hore, Ben Franks, Jarrad Hoeata, Ali Williams, Adam Thomson, Richie McCaw (captain), Liam Messam, Jimmy Cowan, Colin Slade, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Zac Guildford, Mils Muliaina.
Reserves: Corey Flynn, John Afoa, Samuel Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Piri Weepu, Daniel Carter, Ben Smith.
FIJI: Iliesa Keresoni, Timoci Naqusa, Albert Vulivuli, Ravai Fatiaki, Naipolioni Nalag, Seremaia Bai, Nemia Serelevu, Sakiusa Matadigo, Akapusi Qera, Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Rupeni Nasiga, Sekonaia Kalou, Deacon Manu (captain), Sunia Koto, Campese Ma'afu.

CHICAGO - Religious, civil rights, and labor leaders and activists packed an historic African American church here to rally for immigration reform and jobs for all. The event was geared to unite African American and Latino communities for action on both issues.
The event, "Full Citizenship and Full Employment for Full Equality" was held Jan. 16 at the First Baptist Congregational Church, in commemoration of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King's birthday. The church, founded in 1851 by abolitionists, had hosted among others Rev. King, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
With the battle for immigration reform heating up in Congress, broad all people's unity will be needed to pass any legislation. There is especially concern over efforts to divide economically hard hit African Americans and Latinos by blaming immigrants for jobs lost by African Americans during this crisis.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (IL), the chief sponsor of immigration reform legislation in the House of Representatives blasted efforts by the ultra right to sow divisions on the jobs issue and called for unity.
"They're telling African Americans that (Latino immigrants are) taking your jobs," said Gutierrez. He noted that among the first co-sponsors were African American Reps. John Conyers, Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters. About three-quarters of the Congressional Black Caucus are backing the bill.
Others also sought to show the common interests between the two communities and the need to join forces as the only way to uplift everyone.
"Like so many in the African American community, immigrants often have no option but to work for an unsustainable wage," declared Auxiliary Bishop Rev. John R. Manz, of the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.
Organizers of the event sited a new report by Dr. Raul Hinojas-Ojeda of the Center for American Progress and Immigrant Policy center that sees immigration reform as an economic benefit for the country. The study says comprehensive reform with a path to citizenship would result in $1.5 trillion in economic growth and raise the wage floor for the entire US economy.
The need for rebuilding the nation's economy while overcoming inequality was the underlying theme. Brady Hardin, of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, reminded the audience the 1963 march on Washington was officially named the "National March for Jobs and Freedom."
In paying tribute to Dr. King, the Rev Jesse Jackson of the National Rainbow PUSH Coalition recounted a meeting called by King that fell on his last birthday. King had called to Atlanta a broad multiracial cross section of religious, labor and community leaders. The gathering resulted in the "Coalition of Conscience" which led to the Poor People's March on Washington.
An underlining idea was there "couldn't be full employment on the Black side of town with rising unemployment on the Latino side of town or the white side of town. We needed jobs or income for every American," he remembered.
Jackson said a similar crisis situation exists today as did in 1968 marked by vast concentration in wealth, arrogance on Wall Street, spreading poverty and war sucking vital resources from distressed communities.
"Now is the time for jobs or income and comprehensive immigration reform and an end to the war. Let's march together for jobs, to reconstruct Haiti. Let's not allow ourselves to be torn apart with an insane, raggedy, immoral immigration plan," said Jackson.
There were several calls for a federal public works jobs program. Hardin recalled during the Great Depression the "federal government took the bull by the horns and created the Works Project Administration (WPA). This put people back to work and we need the same action in Washington now."
"The private markets are not hiring so its time for the government to help people and not just the banks and stock exchange," he said. Hardin also drew attention to HR 4268, entitled the "Put America to Work Act of 2009" introduced by Rep. Keith Ellison (MN). The bill calls for $40 billion in funding over 2 years to create jobs in distressed communities.
Gutierrez noted the growth of the Latino vote was a big factor in the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. He said expectations were high that Democrats would follow through on their promise for immigration reform. Gutierrez said the process would begin with or without Republicans but warned essentials of a just immigration reform wouldn't be compromised.
"We will not create a comprehensive immigration reform that will demobilize our people," he said. "We have to get it done because we can't have a Democratic administration that deported more people than George Bush."
Both Gutierrez and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL) noted reform in immigration law in the wake of the unspeakable tragedy in Haiti, now grants temporary protective status to Haitian workers. Haitian refugees are now allowed to obtain work permits and send money home.
"Dr. King said the arc of the universe bends toward justice. But we know it doesn't necessarily bend on its own. Sometimes it takes what we've been doing to make it bend toward justice," said Schakowsky. "We marched, we voted and now its time to change the law," she said.
Labor leaders and activists also spoke out forcefully for both jobs and immigration reform. Declaring this was the year to fix an unjust immigration system, Tom Balanoff, President of the Service Employees International Union Local 1 said, "People who work hard to feed their families shouldn't be punished. There's no justice, no equality, and no freedom unless there is justice, equality and freedom for all."
Raul Real and Major Nunn, two workers fired from Pete's Fresh Market trying to organize a union with the United Food and Commercial Workers described how the company crassly pitted Mexican American and African American workers to keep wages low and the union out.
"We can't allow workers to be divided. We need comprehensive immigration reform and a federal jobs program that our communities so desperately need," said Nunn. He later told the People's World comprehensive immigration reform would help in ending wage discrimination.
Several thousand dollars was raised at the rally for Haitian relief.

Kittencal's Freezer Fries (Oamc)
Total Time
Prep 8 hrs
Cook 0 mins
If you have an extra morning, then these homemade fries are worth the time to make, they are 100% better than the store bought --- you can refry, bake or drop them in the hot oil from their frozen state, or they may be thawed first --- if you are lucky enough to own a Starfrit brand french fry slicer which is what I have used for years, then this will save so much time, I suggest to purchase one because after you try these fries you will be making them all the time and never go back to frozen again! --- use only red potatoes with the skin on or peeled I prefer them with the skin left on they taste better and also saves the peeling time, if you are leaving the peel on then clean the skins well to remove the dirt ---I usually purchase a 10 or 20 pound bag of red potatoes, slice them and them fry in batches this way I am assured to have lots in my freezer as they go quickly at my house! --- make certain that you have a lot of oil on hand for this --- plan ahead the uncooked fries need to soak in cold water in refrigerator for 8-24 hours before frying, 24 hours is even better.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 lbs red potatoes (cut lengthwise into about 1/2-inch wide)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 10 -12 cups canola oil (use Canola oil only)
- Slice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch wide strips, or to desired thickness.
- Place them in a large bowl and cover them with cold water, drain and cover them again with cold water (for extra crispy fries mix 1-2 tablespoons sugar with the cold water until completely dissolved before adding in the potatoes).
- Place the bowl in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours, even overnight or up to 2 days.
- When read to make, drain as many as you are going to fry in a large strainer and leave the rest in water (you will be working in batches).
- Have another large bowl ready to put the fryed fries into, and have a large slotted spoon ready also to remove the fries from the oil.
- In about a 5-quart non-stick Dutch oven or a deep fryer, heat 10-12 cups oil until hot with 1 tablespoon salt or more if desired (must use the salt in the oil!) I just throw one French fry in, if it bubbles then to the oil is ready, this will take about 8 minutes to heat until hot.
- Carefully place the drained fries into the hot oil (no need to pat them dry!) and fry only until the edges begin to turn a little brown, and fries feel soft (do not cook them totally).
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place into a large bowl.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- When the fried potatoes are room temperature prepare one or two large cookie sheets.
- Spread the fries on the sheets (you may pile them on top of each other they will come apart when defrosted) and place in the freezer until completely frozen, then just pop them into a large zip-lock freezer bags and store in the freezer.
- **NOTE** Of coarse you can make some right away if desired, after they have come down to room temperature just re-fry them again until desired crispness.
- After freezing just drop the frozen fries into hot oil, there is no need to thaw them first.

Love these! So good!
i tryed your freezer fryes , and they came out better than the ready ones from my super, thank you for another great recipe hanne46
Thanks Kitty. I have frozen fries for years by blanching them. My last batch were greasy so I was really disappointed. Soaking them in the cold water (I used ice water) made all the difference. We had them last night with hamburgers and they were great. Gloria

I configured Apache/PHP on a Windows 2012 server and everything runs smoothly for a few hours then Apache hangs and my website is not responsive.
I did find this entry in my Apache error log: [mpm_winnt:warn] [pid 3884:tid 1504] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
After doing some research I found some posts saying that I should use: Acceptfilter https none
However, it looks like there is a bug in Apache 2.4.2 when using this directive with https (my entire website runs on https). See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52476 for more information about the bug)
So I cannot use Acceptfilter https none.
I have a couple of questions that I hope somebody can help me answer: 1. Why do I need to disable filters to fix my problem? (I still don't know if this will actually fix it). 2. My website hasn't been tested with Apache 2.4.4 and I do not what the upgrade to introduce any errors. Is there a way I can fix my problem without upgrading to Apache 2.4.4? If not, then if anybody knows of any common errors that can be introduced when upgrading to Apache 2.4.4, please share.
I appreciate your help!

By Jody Record, Campus Journal EditorAugust 3, 2011
Campers attending the Thompson School of Applied Science's Adventure Youth Summer Day Camp spent part of their week sprucing up the grounds near the Housing Office and the New England Center. They also planted flowers at the Oyster River Middle School and the Oyster River High School. The Thompson School greenhouse donated the plants.
"The Adventure Camp is a great opportunity for the Thompson School to reach a younger audience while providing a part of our mission of career preparation," says Regina Smick-Attisano, Thompson School director. "The camp lets these youth experience varying career areas while having fun and seeing UNH from a different perspective. Personally, it is one of my favorite weeks of the year as it is a celebration of what the Thompson School does best – hands-on, minds-on learning."
Fifteen students entering sixth to eighth grade attended the camp whose focus is on career awareness and exploration. This year included activities from the business, culinary arts and ornamental horticulture disciplines, among others.
The summer day camp was launched in 2005 with a three-year grant from the AgrowKnowledge Center, a National Science Foundation initiative.
