Jay Z's Drake Beef Reaches Bourgie New Heights on DJ Khaled Track
You say "fondue," I say "lacrosse"
If Jay Z and Drake are engaged in a war of words, it's no longer just a food fight. But it's still pretty entertainingly ridiculous. Just about a week ago, incoming ESPYs host Drake said on TV during a Toronto Raptors-Brooklyn Nets game that Mr. Carter-Knowles was probably "somewhere eating a fondue plate." In new DJ Khaled track "They Don't Love You No More," the Magna Carta Holy Grail rapper lets it rip in a way we haven't heard as much from him lately. After a brilliantly succint endorsement of the NBA over college basketball, he leads into what he had to know would be taken as a Drake dis: "Wrong sport, boy, you know you're soft as a lacrosse team." The lurching, gothic bombast is otherwise what Florida's Khaled has become known for over the years, and verses from Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and French Montana frame Jay's barrage. But let's not lose sight of the important fact here: When it comes to hip-hop feuds, we've gone from fondue to lacrosse.

Drake – Lord Knows (Ft. Rick Ross) : New Chill Hip Hop Collaboration
Posted in Chill by nick | Tags: Chill, Collaboration, Drake, Hip-Hop, Rap, Rick Ross
Drake is about to drop his second album, and just teamed up with Rick Ross for a real sick new track. The production is very on point by Just Blaze. Not going to lie, this might be one of the my favorite Drake tracks I've ever heard. He raps throughout, and doesn't do that slow R&B voice that only girls really dig. Ricky Ross spits some fire on the second part of this track, complimenting Drake perfectly. This song has been on repeat all day, turn it up, enjoy!

Rick Ross – Hustlin' (Candyland Remix) : Must Hear New Dubstep Remix
Posted in Bangin by nick | Tags: BANGER, Candyland, Dubstep, Electronic, Remix, Rick Ross
Today I've got a real massive new dubstep anthem of a track that's been dying for a great dubstep reworking. Well Candyland, a group we just started working with on TSIS, took the Rick Ross track 'Still Hustlin' and broke it down, then filled it to the brim with bass. It still maintains the original Rick Ross swagger, with an added amount of dubstep filth. It gets pretty dirty, but not enough to scare away the non dubstep fans. This song sounds great anywhere, but real crunchy on some massive subs! Turn up the bass, enjoy!

Parashat Vayakhel
Ecology & Shabbat
Shabbat gives us an opportunity to stop trying to control the world.
Provided by Canfei Nesharim, providing Torah wisdom about the importance of protecting our environment.
Our Torah portion this week, Vayakhel, begins with Moses assembling the entire community of Israel and commanding them in the mitzvah that many say is the essence of Judaism: "These are the things that the Lord commanded to make. Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have sanctity, a day of complete rest to the Lord… (Exodus 35:1-3)."
Rabbi Norman Lamm, former chancellor of Yeshiva University, writes: "Perhaps the most powerful expression of the Bible's concern for man's respect for the integrity of nature as the possession of its Creator, rather than his own preserve, is the Sabbath...The six workdays were given to man in which to carry out the commission to 'subdue' the world, to impose on nature his creative talents. But the seventh day is a Sabbath; man must cease his creative interference in the natural order (the Halakhah's definition of melakhah or work), and by this act of renunciation demonstrate his awareness that the earth is the Lord's and that man therefore bears a moral responsibility to give an accounting to its Owner for how he has disposed of it during the days he 'subdued' it…"
"…A new insight into Jewish eschatology: not a progressively growing technology and rising GNP, but a peaceful and mutually respectful coexistence between man and his environment ("Ecology in Jewish Law and Theology" in Faith and Doubt: Studies in Traditional Jewish Thought, p. 163-4)."
All Living Creatures
According to Jewish tradition, the very way we relate to the world is embodied by how we act on the Sabbath. The ways we act, and don't act, define how we understand our place in the world vis-a-vis our Creator.
One example of this is found in our relationship with the earth's creatures. The Torah teaches that the mitzvah of Shabbat includes an instruction to allow our animals to experience rest and contentment on the seventh day: "Six days shall you do your tasks, and on the seventh day you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may be content (Exodus 23:12)."
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, a noted 19th century sage and Torah commentator, comments on this verse: "The Sabbath is a school for teaching the recognition of every other creature beside oneself as being equally a child and object of the same Creator; and this freeing of all creatures from the mastery of the human being is one of the objectives of the Sabbath (commentary to Exodus 32:12)."
What Is Melakhah?
But it is not only living creatures that are freed from human control on Shabbat; it is the whole world. On Shabbat we stop working, stop traveling, stop creating. The Ten Commandments state about Shabbat that "You shall not perform any kind of melakhah (Exodus 20:10)."
In biblical Hebrew, the term melakhah refers to skilled or creative work. Rabbi Hirsch, in his commentary on this verse, explains that physical exertion is not one of the basic criteria of the word melakhah. According to the Torah, if one lifts a heavy piece of furniture on Shabbat, he or she is not guilty of violating the prohibition against melakhah, even though such an activity is not necessarily in keeping with the spirit of Shabbat.
If, however, one plucks a leaf off a tree or plants a seed in the earth, then he or she has violated the mandate not to perform melakhah on Shabbat. A study of halakhah (Jewish law) reveals that the definition of work on Shabbat is an activity in which a person transforms anything in the environment for his or her own use, such as for food, clothing, or shelter.
Against Human Dominion
Observance of Shabbat--taking a day each week on which we do not transform nature at all--has the potential to alter a person's feeling of holding creative and technological control over nature.
Rabbi Hirsch continues in his explanation of Shabbat by exclaiming "Sabbath in our time! To cease for a whole day from all business, from all work, in the frenzied hurry-scurry of our time! To close the exchanges, the workshops and factories, to stop all railway services--great heavens! How would it be possible? The pulse of life would stop beating and the world perish! The world perish? On the contrary, it would be saved ("The Jewish Sabbath," in Judaism Eternal 30)."
What is it about the observance of Shabbat that causes Rabbi Hirsch to see the day as a panacea for the world's problems?
He explains that Shabbat was given to the Jewish people "in order that [they] should not grow overweening in [their] dominion" of God's creation… a Jew "should refrain on this day from exercising [their] human sway over the things of [the] earth, should not place his hand upon any object for the purpose of human dominion, that is, to employ it for any human end; he must, as it were, return the borrowed world to its Divine Owner in order to realize that it is but lent to him (Ben Uziel 30)."
Hirsch continues, "On Shabbat you strip yourself of your glorious mastery over the matter of the world, and lay yourself and your world acknowledgingly at the feet of the Eternal your God (commentary to Exodus 20:10)."
The Concept of Tzimtzum
In this vein, Rabbi Shaya Karlinsky, currently Rosh Yeshiva of Jerusalem's Yeshivat Darche Noam, comments that "During the six days of the week, God's presence takes on the dimension of tzimtzum, a limited manifestation of power, as He allows and even encourages man to exert human control over the world. This creative domination of the natural world, in all its dimensions, creates barriers between man and God. But every week, the Jewish people 'let go,' replicating God's tzimtzum by relinquishing their human control over the world. This enables man to forge an intimate connection with the Creator…"
"…Shabbat is the time man is challenged to cease the activities that represent his control of the world, activities which can lead man to forget the world has a Creator and a purpose…A successful Shabbat allows one to have the correct perspective of man's role in God's world, maintaining an intimate connection with God even while involved in the daily activities that might otherwise build barriers ("Stop and Grow," Darche Noam Newsletter, Spring 5765)."
This message of Shabbat is sorely needed in Western society today. As a New York Times Magazine article commented about lifestyles in the United States, "A nation of remarkably productive, often well-paid workers… are becoming increasingly reluctant to pause from their labors and refresh their souls."
The mentality and lifestyle of doing without regard to being, of transforming the natural world without taking time to reflect on the value of that transformation, is taking an environmental toll on the planet. The society that rests and reflects the least is the same society that extracts and consumes the most. This mastery of the earth without sufficient contemplation of its consequences has produced ecological destruction on the local, regional, and global level.
Air pollution. Species loss. Climate change. These are problems not of the environment, but of a society bent on doing and producing seven days a week. On Shabbat, we are to walk on the earth without asserting our mastery over the earth, in order to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Creator. In this way, we will remember that we are only the custodians of the earth with the responsibility "to work it and to guard it (Genesis 2:5)."
Suggested Action Items:
1. Celebrate Shabbat with clothes made of more environmentally-friendly materials, like organic cotton or wool, hemp, or recycled polyester. This could help remind you on Shabbat of a balanced relationship with the natural world.
2. On Friday, before Shabbat, unplug electric appliances that will not be left on during Shabbat: wireless routers, microwaves, stereos, etc. During the week, get in the habit of only plugging in electrical appliances when you are using them, and unplug them when you stop using them.
3. On Shabbat, think about how you live in the natural world--as a master and consumer, steward and guardian. What do you like about your relationship to the natural world?

Gotta Have It: A Journal for Your Kid's Best Quotes
Courtesy of Crown Publishing
You were all about documenting your babe's every move in those first few months, but now that your no-longer-a-baby (sniff) is speaking new words every day, it's nearly impossible to keep up with the latest.
Or maybe not. Ratchet down the best-baby-book-ever pressure, and instead simply take 30 seconds every day to write down what you really want to remember years from now: the cute, funny, and weird gems that come out of your kid's mouth. Here's what will make you actually do it: The gorgeously illustrated Words to Remember journal is small enough to fit in your purse so you have it handy to jot down your kid's conversation with the dog, his first swear word (aren't you proud), and his probing questions (what makes wind?). Conceived by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, a writer and mother of three, it's meant to become your "verbal album." To provide inspiration, quotes from real kids, including Rosenthal's, are sprinkled throughout the book, and range from funny ("Isn't it so cool how I was born on the same day as my birthday?") to touching ("You can be sad, but not cry."). Delicate cut-paper collages, by the artist Ida Pearle, make it keepsake-worthy -- and you didn't even need to break out the pinking shears.
Words to Remember is $15.95 at crownpublishing.com and is also available at bookstores nationwide.

Hello, Young and Just Ones!
I hope everyone is continuing to enjoy the show. If you aren't, I hope you will be remain patient, and open-minded about the changes in direction, the member line-up, and the broadcast schedule. YOUNG JUSTICE is a unique show. It's really like nothing that has ever been done before, produced by a team that cares very deeply about the property, the characters, and the fans (After all, we are fans!). Greg, and Brandon have done a phenomenal job, along with the rest of the YJ crew (both here, and at the overseas animation studios).
It's very rare that I step up to speak out on anything here. In my minor role as an assistant character designer on the YJ show, I've felt that any voices that should be heard in an official capacity belong to the senior officers steering the ship (Register, Bastian, Weisman, Vietti, Wilcox, and Bourassa). And here among the members of the DA chapter of the fan club, I've felt that the voices heard should be yours. But, in line with this, someone over on facebook asked me a question that I thought others here might also have wondered about. As artists, is it possible for us to ever have any impact on a company project on which we're working, beyond the art?
Here is the brief exchange of our conversation, and I hope it may be of interest to you.
J. Winnik: "With what you do with the animation, do you ever get to contribute to the story or is it only the visual artistry?"
JKMoore: "In a collaborative effort, each member of the team fills a specific role, and any cross-connection can sometimes be considered interference. However, under the proper circumstances, with the right people, any member of a team can offer ass...istance to another. I believe a good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from. Yes, I have made limited contributions to some of the YJ stories, but always as a suggestion based on my years of experience, or from my objective perspective. I've been mindful to keep these suggestions minor, since the producers have a definite direction, and they're a lot closer to the project than I am. One such suggestion that I felt would add some small measure of realism to the show, was inspired by my youthful reading of Spider-Man comics. Spidey was so identifiable due to his vulnerability (As I've said before, among the advantages Marvel's characters have had over their DC counterparts is the effective employment of vulnerabilities, and Spider-Man has been chief among these well-rounded characters.). Several issues featured Spider-Man going into battle despite being injured. I recall him fighting and losing against a supervillain, his arm in a web-sling the whole time. I thought this was brilliantly realistic, and tremendously heroic. And so I mentioned this to writer Kevin Hopps, a very nice guy. I suggested that we allow Kid Flash to get his arm broken in a fight, and to carry this injury over into the next episode or more, adding to the realistic tone. Kevin really liked this idea. He took it to producer Greg Weisman, and this idea made it into a couple episodes of Season One of the show."

National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists use weather models, training and experience to produce the forecast. We create an image of what we believe will happen - essentially "drawing" the various weather elements (temperatures, winds, chances for precipitation, etc). From there a digital database is created which is then manipulated in a multitude of ways, creating different forecast presentations.
Below you will find an array of NWS forecast pages, each a bit different from each other. The forecasts are the same, but how you view them and what is displayed is controlled by you. Some are great for a quick overview. Others provide hour by hour details. There is even a forecast that helps you plan your day around when the warmest temperatures will be. Try them all out and see what suits your needs the best.
Note: the forecasts highlighted in purple are considered "operational" and are supported. The forecasts in green are experimental and do not have full support at this time. These may replace older versions of these styles of forecasts in the future.

Tuesday, November 19: Today in Gold and Silver
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Gold was under selling pressure right from the 6 p.m. EST New York open on Sunday night. Ten bucks got sliced off the price between then and 11:30 a.m. EST on Monday morning. Then the HFT boyz took another ten spot off the price in a bit over an hour.
The low came around 12:35 p.m. in New York, the dollar index high, and the subsequent rally attempt gained back about six bucks or so.
The CME recorded the low tick at $1,269.20 in the December contract. The high was the Friday afternoon EST close.
Gold finished the Monday trading session at $1,276.00 spot, down $14.40 on the day. Net volume was not overly heavy at a hair under 99,000 contracts. The silver price action was almost a carbon copy of what happened in gold, except the New York low came in a spike down just minutes after 3 p.m. in electronic trading. The subsequent recovery off that low wasn't allowed to amount to much. The CME high and lows ticks were recorded as $20.80 and $20.29 in the December contract. Silver closed on Monday at $20.395 spot, down 38.5 cents from Friday's close. Net volume was only 21,500 contracts, and over half of yesterday's total volume was roll-overs out of the December delivery month. In comparison, the roll-overs out of gold were only a small fraction of the total volume. And as you already know, JPMorgan et al didn't spare platinum and palladium, either. Here are the charts. You may have also noticed that both gold and silver rallied at the 8:20 a.m. EST Comex open in New York, but at 9:10 a.m., 50 minutes later, both rallies ran into the usual sellers of last resort. For the day, Kitco recorded the loses as follows: gold down 1.12%, silver down 1.85%, platinum down 1.95% and palladium down 2.19%. The dollar index opened at 80.84 on Sunday evening, and within a few hours had "rallied" to its 80.91 high of the day. After that it was a long, slow slide into the 80.58 low which came at precisely 10 a.m. in New York, which just happened to coincide with the London p.m. gold fix. The subsequent rally topped out at 80.79 around 12:40 p.m. in New York, and then chopped sideways into the close. The index closed at 80.73, which was down 11 basis points from Friday's close. The 12:40 p.m. high in the dollar coincided precisely with the low ticks in gold and silver during the Comex trading session. Not surprisingly, the gold stocks opened lower and continued to decline until their low tick, which came minutes after 3:30 p.m. A smallish rally into the close cut the HUI's loss to only 2.01%. Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index chart looks similar, except the silver equities closed down 2.62%. The non-eventful November delivery month continues to live up to its advance billing, as zero gold and one lonely silver contract were posted for delivery tomorrow. There was another withdrawal from GLD, as an authorized participant withdrew 38,594 troy ounces. And as of 10:04 p.m. yesterday evening, there were no reported changes in SLV. Since yesterday was Monday, there was a sales report from the U.S. Mint. They sold 6,000 ounces of gold eagles; 1,000 one-ounce 24K gold buffaloes; and 361,000 silver eagles. Over at the Comex-approved depositories on Friday, they reported receiving 32,026 troy ounces, and shipped out a smallish 1,171 troy ounces. The link to that activity is here. For a change, there was very little in/out activity in silver. Nothing was reported received, and only 10,180 troy ounces were shipped out the door. The link to that movement is here. I don't have all that many stories today, and I hope you find some in here that interest you.¤ The Wrap
I see little reason why silver and gold should move in constant lockstep. More individual patterns in silver and gold, from exchange warehouse stock levels and movements, to ETF inflows and outflows, to production and consumption statistics and to the fact that central banks own, buy and sell gold and not silver, argue that price action shouldn't be joined at the hip. The question becomes what is causing gold and silver prices to move in tandem, or more broadly, causing most absolute price movement? The answer is almost undeniable – electronic trading on the Comex. Gold and silver prices rarely move on real world supply/demand considerations; prices usually move when the commercials are zooming the technical funds in some way; rigging prices to induce tech fund buying or selling. Because I believe the price of silver is much more controlled and artificial than is the price of gold, when that artificial control is lifted, silver will climb much higher than gold on a percentage basis. - Silver analyst Ted Butler: 16 November 2013 Despite, or maybe because of, the low volume, JPMorgan et al had their way with all four precious metals again yesterday, at it was another day where "da boyz" took a big slice out of the salami, as Ted Butler is wont to say from time to time. We hit new lows for this move down in silver, and platinum and palladium as well. But not in gold. Here are the six-month charts for all four precious metals. As I said sometime last week, this engineered price decline may not be done until December goes off the board at the end of this month. But that's just speculation on my part. However, with December being a big delivery month in both gold and silver, it's a good bet that this may be the final washout as the month winds down into First Notice Day. But it's what happens after that, that really counts. Once JPMorgan and the raptors have finished doing the dirty to the downside, will they go short/sell longs into the next rally? That, and that alone, will determine how high we go in price, and how fast we get there. Nothing else matters. As you've seen over the years, and even the last six months, it's always the same pattern, with JPMorgan and friends capping all rallies as short buyers/long sellers of last resort. Will they be there this time when they allow the tide to turn? Since today is Tuesday, it's also the cut-off for this Friday's Commitment of Traders Report. Any and all volume/price data up until the 1:30 p.m. EST Comex close should be in that report, and I'm certainly interested in how the HFT boyz spin prices today. As I write this paragraph, London has been open about six minutes. Gold hasn't been doing much price wise, and no new lows were set in Far East trading. The price is back to unchanged from Monday's close, but the day is young. I'm sure you've carefully noted the fact that silver set a new low price tick down about 11:30 a.m. Hong Kong time on their Tuesday, but is almost back to unchanged as well. The same goes for platinum and palladium. Gold volume is pretty light, and most of it is of the HFT variety. But silver volume is much heavier, and a large chunk of that is roll-overs out of December. And, not that it matters, but the dollar index is doing nothing. And as I hit the send button at 5:15 a.m. EST, the smallish rallies in all four precious metals got turned aside right at the London open, and all are trading at or below their respective Monday afternoon closes in New York. Gold volume is a bit under "average", but is still all HFT. Silver's volume is high, and although there was some decent roll-over volume earlier, most of the volume now is of the HFT variety as well. The dollar index is still chopping sideways, and basically unchanged. That's all I have for you today, and I'll see you here tomorrow.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

When you determine that you need to apply a cable TV amplifier within your CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) cable structure for increasing your signal level to travel an extended amount, it is very important to install the correct style of amplifier. With many different manufacturers offering a variety of amplification products, it is often difficult for the end user to know what is right for them. The first step in determining the amplifier type that you are going to use is to look at what broadband services (such as video, data, and telephone) you will be using, or will be using now or in the future. There are four basic house amplifiers, Forward Gain, Return Gain, 2-Way Active, and Bypass. Forward gain cable amplifiers can by used in a variety of different situations, from compensating for lower signal strength from your cable provider, raising the strength of the signal from your cable provider, or increasing the signal before multiple line are connected. The forward gain amplifier works in providing an increased signal level into your home on the upstream band of 54-1000 MHz, and still allowing the 5-42MHz return band to be passed on back to the cable provider with little or no loss in signal level. Things to look for when purchasing a forward gain amplifier are, Low noise of 3 dB or lower, low distortion and excellent return loss which should be about 20 dB. Return gain cable amplifiers are used to correct for weak signal strength on the return path with in the 5-42 MHz band being sent back to the service provider from your home for your high speed internet, interactive television, and telephony services. Some cases that would require a return gain amplifier are attenuation caused from passives install in the home and long cable runs from the service providers tap to your home. Things to look for when purchasing a return gain amplifier are a noise figure level of 5.5, SCTE compliant water sealed connectors, RFI Shielding of 100 or greater, and the housing material. 2-Way Active cable amplifiers are used to compensate for weak signal strength in where both the forward path of 54-1000 MHz and the return path of 5-42 MHz would need to be increased for your high speed internet, Interactive television, and telephony services. Bypass cable amplifiers work in the same way as forward gain amplifiers to increase the signal level on the 54-1000 MHz band for high speed internet, interactive television and telephony services, and still allowing the 5-42MHz return band to be passed on back to the cable provider with little or no loss in signal level. The difference from the forward gain amplifier is that the bypass amplifier has a built in relay switch designed to bypass the amplification circuitry to bypass mode and provide constant uninterrupted telephony service in the event of a power outage.

There's also a story in the Baltimore Sun about his send-off party. Ravens fans can't say enough about the guy.
I don't think NE fans fully understand at this moment how very fortunate we are to be getting this type of player and human being.
Nice find, DH. That's something Thomas didn't have to do, but he did. Guys like him help offset the dickweeds in the league like TO.
I am really excited that we are getting such a great football player and human being. I think AD will make a great impact on the Pats and we should be looking forward to yet another Superbowl run. It's a Heckuva time to be a fan of the New England Patriots!
Man, it's so rare to find athletes who are grounded in reality and Thomas sounds like he's as good as it gets.
Yeah, I thought that was very classy. unfortunately when he gets here and falls under the spell of our coach he will lose his classiness. Did you read in Peter King's column that Thomas interned for an Illinois senator? Very cool.
Very impressive. Reminds me of the ad that Bledsoe took out thanking the fans (and the Kraft family?) before leaving the Pats. Irrespective of my poor view of his performance on field, I was amazed with the class and dignity with which he acted the whole season and when he left the NE region.
Re: Adalius Thomas, Class Act Yup. Even his signature is cool. I did a lot of research on this guy prior to his signing and still cannot believe the Pats actually got him. it wouldn't surprise me to hear about him running for senator in a few years. If he can simply maintain his level of play, he will eventually become amongst the most beloved Pats to ever wear the uniform.
I just can't wait to see what this guy is gonna do in BB's defense. I just can't wait to see what BB is gonna do with this guy in his defense. I think that this team just might have chance at being the leaques best defense this year. Just because of Adalius Thomas.

Warren is not injury report but according Reiss he missed yesterday and now today ... personel reasons? Any ideas? http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/
Well it's personal so I don't think Belichick will be announcing it. I'm sure it's a non factor for Sunday.
According to Borges he just had a message session said Warren was absent due to family reasons,he will be ready to go on Sunday.
yeah ... but was it Warren whose mother/brother needed a kidney? It would seem only a bad family situation or death would keep him away.

Make It Your Mission! Part 4
- Do you want people sitting in chairs facing you at the front (e.g. stage/audience)
- Do you want people sitting in chairs in a round circle?
- Do you want people standing up and talking to each other?
- Do you want a combination of a couple of the event formats above?
- Will you have people raise their hands to speak?
- Will you let them talk as needed?
- Will you have conversation "sticks" that people can use to show who's up next to talk?
- Will you impose time limits on how much one person can speak?
- Will you tape record them?
- Will you video tape them?
- Will you have someone write them down on a sheet of paper?
- Will you have someone write them down on a chalkboard, whiteboard or easel?
It's finally time for your event!
At your gathering, talk with others about how you can work together to affect change in this regard. Remind people how small changes on behalf of one or more people can create a positive chain of events that ultimately results in a BIG change.
Some people call this concept the "butterfly effect"…others call it a "ripple effect"…still others call it a "domino effect".
- Will you talk to at least one person a day about your mission?
- Will you talk to your school PTA about it?
- Will you write a letter or email to your congressional representative, senator or the president?
- Will you create a petition?
- Will you create a YouTube video about it?
- How about a blog, Facebook group or a Twitter account?
- Is it a subject that your parents could post flyers about at work?
- Is it something that you want to talk to someone about at a local museum or bookstore?
- Do you want to do more research about it online and reach out to more influential people and get their suggestions?
Decide who will be responsible for which tasks. How will you evaluate the results of each effort? Then, set a date with those interested for your next meet-up. Encourage each other to find ONE more friend to bring to your next meeting.
Now, GO TO IT!

2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L SFI
ProsAmazing piece of engineering. Power to burn. ConsIt is a little big but you'll never notice it the way it handles on a mountain road. iPod integration and hard drive are a little clumsy. Back seats do not fold down.
Pure Performance Wrapped In Style. — I can't say enough good things about this car. I change cars about every two years but after driving the 2005 for seven months I had to have more. It's a hoot to drive because most people don't realize it will blow most cars off the road. Great performance. Great styling. This is not grandad's Cadillac. The V will take five people from zero to 60,70,80+ faster than almost anything on the road and have the front seat passenger groping for the dash on take off. Ha Primary Use: Commuting to work

Prospower styling for under 80k this is true touring preformance Consspeeding tickets are bound to come your way
Hang On — the style and comfort of caddilac's cars in a full size luxury car with the oh mu god performance of a corvette get in shut up and hang on when you hit the throttle you will love the feeling in you chest as you are pushed back into the seats |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L SFI
Proshot Consnone
Detroit Steel — This is an update per a CarGurus request. Since my last I've swicthed out the airbox with a K&N system and the exhaust with Cirrus SS sport performance mufflers inorder to pull hp and torque over the 600 level. In both cases I have ... :-). Still, without a doubt, the best 4 door production super sedan in the world. Thank you Cadillac and General Motors. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V
ProsPower, power, power / it's better, I've added Corsca sport SS exhaust, thinking about Hennessey or D3 air box ... 556/551 just ain't enough . Oh, and as they say in the torpedo business it runs straight, hot, and true every time :~) ConsNone - Michelin Sport PS2 only got 12k miles, I wonder why - NOT? AW equivalents are doing better but make more noise at high speed in the rain. The 285' are ZR1 run flats, no problem
The Ride, Part Deux — No change, well maybe the "V" stands for Vicious - love my Caddy! The "v" stands for velocity or so I was initially told. After driving one up on the Monticello, NY Motor Club track and now owning one for three months (close to three years) I know that has to be the truth. Nothing - absolutely nothing - coming out of any 4 door sedan mfg'r in the world is as powerful and fast as this ride. The only choice you have to make is how badly you want to either blow the doors off of the guy next to you at the red light in their BMW or AMG or how silly you want to make them feel ripping down the Interstate. Truly a car made for the track and Autobahn. Big, very big, Brembo brakes also make scrubbing mph both very fast and very easily. Not to mention stopping in city traffic. Plus, it's no lion in sheep's clothing as far as looks go either. The cockpit is just that, a cockpit, a very well tailored cockpit at that. Especially with the Recaro bucket seats and the way they make you a part of the ride - perfect. It looks as sleak and hard as it really is. Clean and chiseled to, again, perfection is not putting it too lightly. Period. So far the ride has been as tight as a drum with no annoying strange noises, besides the supercharger pumping air into the cylinders under 556hp and 550lb ft of acceleration, that is. hat's new to me. In all regards: what a rush! A close to perfect as Cadillac/GM or any mfgr has yet come to my dream car. Excellent gentlemen and ladies, excellent indeed. |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L SFI
ProsI love the car and would have more if I could. ConsThe cost for gas as it can only use the premium octane or the performance will be off.
Amazing, If You Dont Have One, Test One At Least. — This is an amazing vehicle. It has looks that attract all ages and the looks from people when you get in will make your day. The performance is great off the line, in the middle of the drive, and everything in between. What is most noticeable while driving isn't how fast it goes but how quickly it gets to how fast it does. |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L SFI
ProsReally fast for a Salon car Consa Little bet of the handling
Beautiful — the performance is amazing in acceleration, braking, and little bet not good in the handling. The build quality needs only for the brakes. the apperance is amazing and a gourgous car. The cost of ownership is really relaxing :). this car is really fun to drive :) . Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V
ProsPower ConsHandling
Relible — It is fast just like the c6. Man if you like power and good handling this car is a must. I chose the manual 6 speed and smoke tires through third gear. It may be a little more then the cts but it is always fun to pull up to a mustang and smoke them! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L SFI
ProsFast, Handles Well, Pretty ConsAQ little more road noise than expected.
Awsome Car! — Reading some of the reviews on here about this car it becomes obvious that some of these guys have not driven nor own a 2009 CTS-V. Don't get me wrong, I like the positive reviews as this is an awesome car, but an awesome car deserves real reviews from people who have driven it and not trolled the internet to make a review. First, the car has plenty of power. It is actually fairly deceptive at how much it makes because it is very smooth and linear. Second, I think there is more road noise from the tires than your typical CTS. The Pilot Sports are nice, but another tire selection may improve the road noise and not sacrifice performance. Third, most sites hype up that $3400 charge for the Recaro seats. For me, I get my seat set in one position and that is where it remains usually for life. The extra for these seats is pretty much a waste and hype to stay in tune with the Euro crowd (to me anyway). Inside the engine noise is not very bad at all. You can hear the S/C wind up, but in comparison is seems quite a bit quieter than a Ford GT500. The controls are nice and well laid out. I like the Nav system much better than my 2006 TBSS or my 2007 Z06 Vette. It is much crisper visually. The Magnetic Ride Control works very well. The car has nearly no pitch when going into corners. For what it is it handles like a dream. This car is a sleeper...it will surprise people. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Title: | The East Mountain Area septic system user's euide to the Bernalillo County Wastewater Ordinance : ensuring groundwater sustainability |
Author: | Campana, Michael E.; Minnis, Michele |
Subject: | wastewater ordinance septic system Bernalillo County guidebook |
LC Subject(s): | Sewage disposal, Rural--New Mexico--Bernalillo County. Septic tanks--New Mexico--Bernalillo County--Maintenance and repair. Septic tanks--Law and legislation--New Mexico--Bernalillo County. Sewerage--Law and legislation--New Mexico--Bernalillo County. East Mountain Area (Bernalillo County, N.M.) |
Abstract: | On June 29, 2000, Bernalillo County released a draft wastewater ordinance, Bernalillo County Wastewater Ordinance, for public comment; in the fall of 2000, this ordinance was adopted. The ordinance is intended to protect public health and safety by establishing minimum criteria for the design, installation, inspection, treatment, and management of commercial and domestic wastewater systems. The ordinance is detailed and perhaps difficult to understand for the average homeowner in the East Mountain Area (EMA). It encompasses engineering, permitting, and maintenance requirements for new or modified septic systems in place after the effective date of this ordinance. Without thorough review and understanding of the ordinance, the homeowner could easily jeopardize his/her ability to operate their individual septic systems and/or face serious monetary consequences if their septic systems are not in compliance with the ordinance. The WR 573 summer 2000 class has prepared a simple, straightforward guidebook for EMA residents of Bernalillo County to use as a tool for understanding and complying with the new ordinance. Topics were researched and discussed within the context of the guidebook to help EMA homeowners fulfill their responsibilities under the ordinance, including inspection, compliance, permitting, and maintenance requirements of their individual septic tank systems. The guidebook is written in question-and-answer format, and each answer builds upon information provided within the guidebook. The guidebook was written for the average homeowner and is presented in non-technical language. We assumed that most homeowners would be neither qualified for nor desirous of doing most of the work required to bring their systems into compliance and would therefore hire a contractor. The guidebook was written to help the homeowner understand the process; most of the details are left to the contractor. Most of our information was drawn from the ordinance, studies of the East Mountain Area hydrologic system, or discussions with knowledgeable people. As a public-oriented user guide, specific references to documents were eliminated from the body of text. References are included at the end of the guidebook. The summer 2000 Water Resources 573 class, under the guidance of instructors Dr. Michael Campana and Dr. Michele Minnis, has synthesized our combined research into this guidebook entitled, "East Mountain Area Septic System User's Guide to the 2000 Bernalillo County Wastewater Ordinance." The guidebook will be edited and published as a Water Resources Program publication and copies provided to NOAA and Bernalillo County. |

RPT-Fitch affirms Russia's Alliance Oil at 'B', outlook stable
- Tweet
- Share this
(Repeat for additional subscribers)
Aug 22 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Alliance Oil Company Ltd.'s (AOIL) Long-Term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B'. The Outlook is Stable. A full list of rating actions is at the end of this release.
AOIL's ratings reflect the company's limited scale, concentrated business model skewed towards downstream operations, and potential increase in capital intensity and leverage to pursue its growth strategy. We recognise the company's progress in upgrading its Khabarovsk refinery and launch of the gas business in Q113, but note that its growth strategy may be challenged by the recent production decline at the Kolvinskoye field in Timano-Pechora. AOIL is one of Russia's second-tier integrated oil companies, accounting for 0.5% of crude production and for 1.5% of oil refining in the country.
Upstream Scale Limits Upgrade
We expect that AOIL will achieve a moderate increase in total hydrocarbon production in 2013, due to stable or slightly lower crude output and the launch of natural gas production in Q113. AOIL aims for double-digit growth of oil and gas production in 2013-2015, but even if this growth strategy is successful, its ratings are likely to be limited to the 'B' category, given its limited scale and concentration on Russia. AOIL's upstream production in H113 averaged 58.7 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (mbbl/d), up 9% compared with the 2012 average, including natural gas and condensate production of 5.3mbbl/d.
Corporate Governance, Country Risk
AOIL's ratings include a one-notch discount for weaker corporate governance typical for Russian corporates and for higher country risks inherent to Russia - including the risks of evolving legal and tax environment. The tax regime has a direct influence on the sector's profitability through industry-specific taxes and although it is not our base case scenario, we cannot exclude that the regime might be revised at some stage. This unpredictability is incorporated in AOIL's ratings via the discount.
Timano-Pechora is Key
AOIL's ability to implement its upstream growth strategy in the Timano-Pechora region is still important for maintaining and increasing its production, although its significance has declined since AOIL launched its gas business in the Tomsk region. At end-2012, Timano-Pechora accounted for 42% of the company's proved oil and gas reserves. The lower-than-expected production potential of Kolvinskoye, AOIL's largest field, launched in September 2011, resulted in upstream production falling to 52.3 thousand barrels per day (mbbl/d) in Q412 from 62.4mbbl/d in Q411.
More Reliance On Downstream
Progress on the Khabarovsk refinery upgrade, increasing AOIL's primary refining capacity to 90mbbl/d, supports the current ratings. Average daily refining volumes at the Khabarovsk refinery totalled 85.9mbbl/d in H113, 12% yoy. The company intends to further increase its refining capacity to 100mbbl/d by end-2013, and to connect the refinery to Transneft's ESPO oil pipeline in 2014, significantly reducing the company's transport costs. We expect that lower transport costs will offset the negative effect from the expiration of most AOIL's oil production tax breaks in 2015, leading to greater reliance on downstream in generation of operating cash flows from 2016.
Material Contribution to JV
In 2012 AOIL contributed its Volga-Urals upstream assets operated by Tatnefteotdacha and Saneco to its joint venture (JV) with Repsol, S.A. (BBB-/Stable), which was set up in 2011. The assets accounted for 35% of AOIL's proved reserves at end-2012, and for 38% of its upstream production in 2012. We expect AOIL to retain significant control over these assets, but estimate that the cash flows effectively available to service AOIL's debt in the medium term will reduce as a result of the transaction, because 49% of Saneco and Tatnefteotdacha's potential dividends will be allocated to Repsol, and a part of the JV's operating cash flows may be used to finance JV capex.
No Deleveraging Expected
At end-2012 AOIL's funds from operations (FFO) Fitch-adjusted gross leverage was 3.2x, and we expect it to average 3x-4x in 2013-2017. In 2012, the company's FFO interest coverage was 4.2x, including capitalised interest, and this could be around 3x-4x over 2013-2017. We consider these figures adequate for the current rating level. AOIL might be able to deleverage moderately if crude prices were higher than in Fitch's conservative Brent price deck: USD103/bbl in 2013, USD96/bbl in 2014, USD88.5/bbl in 2015 and USD80/bbl in the long term.
The Amur River Flooding:
The management says that the Amur river flooding in the east of Russia does not affect the operations of AOIL's Khabarovsk refinery at the moment. We do not expect that the flooding will materially affect the company's operating cash flow and modernization of the refinery. However, we will continue to monitor the situation and might take a negative rating action in case of potential serious disruption or material capex overruns caused by the flooding.
Stronger Upstream, Stabilised Debt
Positive rating action could follow if the company increases the scale of upstream and downstream operations, including hydrocarbon production expanding to 80-100 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, consistently achieves positive free cash flow (FCF), and maintains mid-cycle funds from operations FFO adjusted leverage at or less than 4x and interest cover above 4x.
Lower Production, Rising Leverage
Declining hydrocarbon production (eg stemming from an inability to stabilise the production at Timano-Pechora), and higher capex or non-zero dividends to ordinary shareholders resulting in mid-cycle FFO adjusted leverage rising above 5x and interest cover falling below 3x could lead to negative rating action.
Adequate Liquidity
We view AOIL's liquidity position as adequate for the current ratings but challenged overall. Organic sources of liquidity are the most constrained due to high capex resulting in negative FCF generation. At end-H113, AOIL had USD398m of cash compared with short-term debt of USD384m. In H113, AOIL improved its debt maturity profile by issuing a USD500m Eurobond due 2020 and preferred stock for the equivalent of USD100m.
Balanced Debt Portfolio
AOIL's consolidated debt portfolio is well balanced by maturities and instruments. During 2008-H113 it issued Eurobonds, convertible bonds, Russian rouble domestic bonds and preferred stock totalling around USD2bn. In addition, in 2010 Vnesheconombank (BBB/Stable) opened a long-term credit line of more than USD750m with AOIL aimed at the Khabarovsk refinery upgrade due 2022. Around 25% of the company's consolidated debt is secured, including the Vnesheconombank loan.
Approach to Preferred Stock
Under Fitch's 'Treatment and Notching of Hybrids in Nonfinancial Corporate and REIT Credit Analysis', we allocate AOIL's cumulative preferred shares 50-50 between debt and equity; they therefore affect the company's leverage ratios. We also include 100% of the projected preferred dividends in our forecasts for interest coverage. AOIL has issued preference shares equivalent to around USD300m so far.

The fact that the news wanted these tapes is tasteless. An officer was killed, and the investigation is still ongoing. Rather than respect the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Matthews, you go as far as to threaten to sue the WPD for these tapes? This act alone just shows how inconsiderate the media is.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Due to its location in the world, its diversity of industrial resources and the cultural diversity of the Venezuelan people, Venezuelan cuisine often varies greatly from one region to another. Its cuisine, traditional as well as modern, is influenced by indigenous peoples and its European ancestry[1] (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French), and is also influenced by African and Native American traditions. Food staples include corn, rice, plantain, yams, beans and several meats.[1][2] Potatoes, tomatoes, onions, eggplants, squashes and zucchini are also common sides in the Venezuelan diet.
In the eastern states (Oriente), south-eastern states (Guayana), and northern states (Caribe), there is a wide gamut of fresh and saltwater fish, seafood and crustaceans. Tubers such as potato and yam are abundant. Carbs such as corn, rice and pasta (Venezuelans are the second highest pasta consumers in the world, after Italy) are likewise popular. Fresh fruits include lettuce, tomatoes and plantains.
The preferred meats in western states (occidente) include goat (usually prepared with tomato) and rabbit. There is also extensive use of plantains and a variety of cheeses. Dishes are influenced by the local tribes as well as by Colombian cuisine.
In Llanos beef and game (deer, chigüire, lapa, morrocoy, etc.) are mostly grilled or roasted. Corn (in the form of cachapas), several sorts of soft, white cheese (guayanés, de mano, crineja, etc.) and other milk products are widely used.
The Andean region is marked by potatoes (other tubers), wheat, beef, lamb and chicken. There is not much fish because the region does not have a coastal line. One exception is trout, which is raised on fish farms. Dishes in this region show European and native Andean peoples' influences.

Longview, Texas (KETK) — Two house fires in Longview on Friday night are believed to be the work of an arsonist.
The first sparked a little before 8 p.m. in the 400 hundred block of 15th Street.
One hour later, and four blocks away, firefighters were called out to another fire at a home in the 1400 block of Gay Street.
Both homes were vacant, and no injuries were reported.
The Longview Fire Marshal says he believes both are connected and were intentionally set.

Not really sure how to title this so i'll explain.
Before i purchased my glock 17 i went out and found the most lookalike gbb i could find that had almost all the same functions as the real deal. Well today im on the hunt for another 9mm, i prefer something small like a ppk or g26 etc. I would like to purchase a blank firing pistol this time that has the same look and feel if that's even possible?
I really like the walther p99 .40cal s&w (got to shoot one last week i fell in love with it) i like it more than my glock 17. I know umarex makes the p99 with 9mm blanks but it really doesn't have the same ops as the real deal.
I hope all this makes sense ?
yes i am weird i like to try things before getting the real deal.

I keep reading that Americans are buying guns on a record breaking pace, despite the drastic downturn in sales of automobiles and other consumer goods. This is, of course, due to fears that there will soon be bans on sales of certain types of semi-auto guns and magazines of over 10 rounds capacity.
Count me among that crowd. I ordered a half-dozen extra 13 and 15 round .40 cal. magazines for my Glock 23 last night from Midway USA and found their website very slow due to the sheer volume of other buyers. I want to stave off the day when I have to feed 10 round mags into the G23.
Unlike many of these panic buyers, I'm not in the market for an AR15 right now; I've already bought two new handguns this year, so I've got to put the brakes on to keep the wifey happy.

My appreciation to the Sager Middle School students for pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. According to "Solar panels spark bright questions" (U-B May 10), Sager's windmill generates, on average, two percent of its capacity. This is about the same as the area's commercial windmills, and is, of course, far less than the 11 percent necessary to be self-sustaining.
Also according to the same article, Sager's new solar panel is expected to generate 17 percent of its capacity, a pathetic reminder that student questions are the only thing bright about Sager's renewable energy program.
