Wells Fargo Center
Attendance: 19,283
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant, the NBA's leading scorer, led Oklahoma City's comeback with 34 points and 16 rebounds, as the Northwest Division-leading Thunder rallied past the Sixers, 110-105, in overtime at Wells Fargo Center.
Russell Westbrook added 27 points and 12 assists for the Thunder, who have won four of five. Nick Collison tallied 13 points and 10 boards off the bench.
"It was a good win for us," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. "We made a lot of big plays down the stretch."
Lou Williams and Jrue Holiday each finished with 22 points for the Sixers, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Jodie Meeks donated 17 points and seven rebounds.
Andre Iguodala chipped in with 14 points, eight assists and six boards for Philadelphia, which has lost five in a row against Oklahoma City.
"I'm disappointed because I really wanted our guys to win this game," Sixers head coach Doug Collins said. "Our crowd was so great tonight. They are a good defensive team. Their length inside bothered us. [Serge] Ibaka, [Nick] Collison, [Nazr] Mohammed made it very difficult for us to get anything around the basket. They beat us in the paint 52-36, so that was tough."
Durant brought the Thunder within three, 101-98, on a running jumper with 36.9 seconds left in regulation. Durant then blocked Iguodala's jumper before tying the game with a three-pointer.
"Once I let it go I felt confident it was going in," Durant said. "It was a great play call."
The Sixers had 6.9 ticks remaining to win the game, but Iguodala was called for a charge. The Thunder put the ball into Durant's hands again, but his three-pointer was off the mark.
Holding a 106-105 lead with under 1 1/2 minutes to play in overtime, Durant drained an 18-footer to put the Thunder in front by three.
The Sixers got the ball back following Iguodala's missed three-pointer and Westbrook's turnover. But Meeks missed a three and Elton Brand was called for an offensive foul.
Westbrook then made a jumper from the foul line with 22.9 seconds left to seal the victory.
The Sixers started the game on a 15-4 run, but the Thunder scored 11 of the next 13 points to cut the gap to two, 17-15. Philadelphia held a 34-28 edge after 12 minutes.
Oklahoma City started the second period on a 13-6 flurry to go in front. Daequan Cook's jumper gave the visitors a 41-40 lead with 7 1/2 minutes to go. It was a 55-55 game at the half.
Trailing by six, 78-72, with under 3 1/2 minutes to go in the third, the Thunder closed out the frame on a 10-2 run. Durant's four-point play gave Oklahoma City an 82-80 edge heading to the fourth.
With the score tied at 92-92 with 4:19 to play in regulation, Williams scored all of Philadelphia's points during a 9-4 flurry. Williams' trey with 2:19 left gave the 76ers a 101-96 margin.
But Philly failed to score in the final minutes of the fourth.

Ponyscape v0.2 has been released!! Check it out here: flutterguy317.deviantart.com/j…
I will keep this journal and the files up for anyone who wants to use the previous version.
Hi Everypony!!
It is with great joy that I present you with my custom version of Inkscape that I have so lovingly dubbed "Ponyscape". For the past month or two, I've been working on improving Inkscape whenever I could find some free time (which wasn't easy ). I've been using my custom Inkscape version in my most recent vectors, and am proud to announce that I feel it is ready to be released to the masses! For anyone running Windows, you can download the entire package, unzip it using 7zip or winrar, and run inkscape.exe. If you want to compile from source or are not on Windows, download the Inkscape source from their website (www.inkscape.org) and apply the source patch (if you need help with this, feel free to send me a note).
Download (Windows): www.mediafire.com/?ildpeb7ql7g…
md5: aba7490a94af288781939bc66209f637
Source patch: www.mediafire.com/?b3adxk8k2h5…
md5: 366c0771a63af51489932cc95113bf91
Please note that this software is still somewhat experimental... I encourage you to use it, but please remember to save often (enabling autosave is also a good idea). If you come across any issues, want to give feedback, or have an idea for a future version of Ponyscape, feel free to email me at email@example.com .
Here's some interesting things that are new in this version (green is from upstream Inkscape, blue is custom):
Powerstrokes, which allow you to vary the width of a stroke and taper it at the ends. Apply powerstroke to a selected path by clicking Path->Path Effects, then clicking the + button, selecting Powerstroke, and pressing OK. Press F2 to enter node-edit mode and there will be 3 width nodes. You can move these around to vary the width of your stroke, hold Control and click on a node to duplicate it, or hold Alt and Control and click on a node to delete it. You can select Zero-Width in the Path Effects dialog for either end of the stroke to have it taper (to get a clean taper, you might need to add an additional width node to adjust how quickly it tapers).
Path cloning with LPE, which clones the selected path while retaining the ability to manipulate color, layer, etc. To create a clone, click on Edit->Clone->Clone original path (LPE). When you add, move, or remove a node to the parent path, the cloned path will be updated.
Extrapolated join, which is a method for creating sharp corners on a stroke that look better than mitered corners. To use extrapolated joins, apply a Powerstroke and select Extrapolated or Extrapolated Arc from the Join drop-down in the Path Effects dialog.
Better powerstroke defaults and easier application: fill and stroke colors are swapped and the width is retained when applying a powerstroke, and better settings for a powerstroke are applied by default.
Width adjustment dialog: this allows you to specify the width of your stroke numerically and precisely. To use this dialog, hold Alt and click on a width-node.
Experimental effects are enabled to allow the Extrapolated Arc powerstroke join. Please note that not all path-effects work, and some do crash Inkscape.
Old style slider controls for dialogs: in a recent build, the upstream Inkscape switched to a new style of slider control which is not the nicest to work with. After talking with Atmospark about it, I decided to revert to the old control.
Fixed resolution of PNG import: a bug in the upstream Inkscape sets the resolution of an imported PNG file incorrectly, however this is fixed in Ponyscape 0.1
I have assembled a little gallery of new features here: sta.sh/2u1835jnk1t
I will also be doing a livestream tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern Time on how to use the new features, which can be found here: www.livestream.com/flutterguy3…
And now a quick legal disclosure (only because I have to ). This software is provided as-is and without any warranty. Misuse of this software or use of this software in an illegal nature is in no way the fault of the developer or the upstream Inkscape development team. The developers are not responsible for any loss or damages that may occur while using the software. This software is licensed under the GPL version 2.0, a copy of which will be provided upon request.
I hope you enjoy this release of Ponyscape and that it helps any pony vector artists out there! From just using it for the past month, I can definitely say that my time to complete a vector has gone down dramatically thanks to the advancements both in the upstream Inkscape and in Ponyscape.

Explaining the 2015 Open Enrollment Period
The brief provides an overview of what consumers can expect during the second annual Open Enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which runs from November 15, 2014 through February 15, 2015. It is the second opportunity for uninsured individuals to enroll in private insurance coverage, premium tax credits and cost sharing subsidies and the first time that people newly insured in 2014 can renew their health plan coverage and subsidies. It also overlaps with the start of the tax filing season, during which subsidized individuals will undergo tax reconciliation of their 2014 financial assistance and the individual responsibility provisions of the ACA will be enforced.

The Iraqi government declared a state of emergency Tuesday as al Qaeda-linked militants from ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, violently seized control of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city. Via The Foreign Bureau, WSJ's global news update.
BAGHDAD—Islamist insurgents seized control of Iraq's second-largest city on Tuesday in a brazen military operation that underscored the weakness of the central government across vast swaths of the country.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared a nationwide "state of maximum preparedness" after government forces fled Mosul in disarray following four days of fighting. He asked parliament to declare a state of emergency. But he didn't say whether military forces were mobilizing to retake the city, 220 miles north of the capital, Baghdad.

… from City's Central Bank to Make Isis World's Richest Terror Force.
Who didn't see this one coming?
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (Isis) has become the richest terror group ever after looting 500 billion Iraqi dinars – the equivalent of $429m (£256m) – from Mosul's central bank, according to the regional governor.
Nineveh governor Atheel al-Nujaifi confirmed Kurdish televison reports that Isis militants had stolen millions from numerous banks across Mosul. A large quantity of gold bullion is also believed to have been stolen.
Following the siege of the country's second city, the bounty collected by the group has left it richer than al-Qaeda itself and as wealthy as small nations such as Tonga, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and the Falkland Islands.

Very nice hotel, excellent staff who were friendly and helpful. We were traveling through the area and it made a great place to stop over for the night. Thanks!
Very clean, just installed brand new carpet.very friendly and helpful staff.
No, everything was great.
This is the second time we've had horrible rooms . The other was in Iowa last April. We tried getting it fixed last April and you did nothing. You said you were going to contact them twice and you didn't. My husband stayed in a gross hotel because
You wouldn't help us and we couldn't afford to pay for two hotel rod a nite for a week!!! So are you glad you asked?
Friendly, helpful staff; clean, quiet room. During my visit, they updating cable and tv in rooms. Staff went above and beyond to minimize customer disruption.
I really liked that it was in close to places to eat and shop.
Rooms Clean & Good Breakfast
There was a hockey team staying there and the noise level was beyond terrible. Staff wasnotified but unable to get the parents of the players to control their kids.

Really nice, and I am addicted to the MV of Gotye - somebody i used to know - right now so it is totally in the mood.
Fantastic color pallet... flesh tones, pinks/reds, greens & yellows (and lavender): so vibrant and alive - juxtaposed w/ angular architectural lines! Great contrast to bring out the "Nature!"
This is such a great image that I'm pinning it to my Pinterest public S6 favorites board with the hope that it will drive more traffic to your wonderful art!

Inspiration post for Saturated canary
Good morning, its my turn for a post over at Saturated Canary blog.
Its been a bit mental here and its only going to get busier! March is one crazy mad month for me, all starting with a special birthday on Saturday. I really do not feel like I am 40, in my head I am still that mad daft 21 year old! Lol
Anyway enough of birthdays etc, I have a card to share. I have used the beautiful Sara on my card. I have coloured her with copics and prisma pencils. The flowers are from The Ribbon Girl as are the ribbons. The lace is from ebay, I dont know where the papers are from as they were out of my scrap box. The bingo ticket, clock, ticket stub and clip are all Tim Holtz.
Before I leave, can I ask for some advice, does anyone know how to 'unfollow' a blog? Blogger seems to have changed its settings and the simple option is no longer there. I have several blogs that I wish to unfollow and I no longer wish to see them in my blog list.
Have a great day

Mixed media canvas
Morning lovelies, thought i would share a new hobby project that I have been working on lately
I have taken a like to making mixed media canvases, this is one I made for a recent customer, I am delighted at how it turned out.
I first primed the canvas with white gesso, and then added design papers using modge podge. I then built up the layers by using shimmer sprays and inks, followed by stencils with texture paste.
I then used the picture as the focal point, using flowers, lace, metal charms etc, again coated with gesso and shimmer sprays.
Thanks for popping by,

The script for a morality play of sorts is being written.
California's countryside green is fading fast to gold.
Cruella and Dante are dogs.
The worst drought in most of our lifetimes has focused attention on how all Californians use, conserve and recycle water. Three years of historically dry winters - and no assurance that the next one will be any better - require each of us to examine how we can preserve this precious resource.
As a child, I learned about the "valley of the shadow of death" from the 23 Psalm. A similar image is conjured up by economists who talk about the "valley of death." They mean that potentially deadly stage in the life of a business when production needs to be massively scaled up but investors aren't willing to make that leap based only on pilot-scale results or because the economics of full-scale production are still iffy. One segment of the young biofuels industry is approaching that valley.
"Higher prices discourage demand."
The world has come a long way since a cold Sunday morning in December of 1971.
Where's the best little whorehouse in California?
Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays.
Water might be on the forefront of everyone's minds in California as we face continued drought conditions, but in India there's a mother losing her daughter every single day due to the lack of clean, drinkable water.
In the past 10 years there's been a shift in news media. Many news organizations went from striving to be the watchdogs of the community to doing everything possible to increase the number of "Likes" they get on a Facebook post, ethics be damned. What's wrong with being liked, you may ask? Aren't media companies in the business of increasing their audience?
Even if I walked to work each day, I would still be indebted for my daily bread to cars and trucks. The many goods we buy in stores arrive at their destinations courtesy of the internal combustion engine. Motors and engines are woven into the warp and weft of all our economic activity from farming to manufacturing. Although small amounts of biofuels are mixed with the gasoline we purchase, most of the fuel we use comes from crude oil.
With the month of March marking National Women's History Month, it is important that we not only observe the significant strides made by women throughout the decades, but also acknowledge the barriers continually facing women today. One of these barriers remains in the modern workplace, where, despite women accounting for nearly half of the workforce, their earnings continue to be considerably less than their male colleagues.
Have you ever heard the expression "cheat to win"? Certainly we all have been presented with situations throughout our lives where cheating might have been the easier route, while also ensuring us a guaranteed win. But if you're someone who enjoys that feeling of accomplishment you get when it was your own blood, sweat and tears which ultimately resulted in a "win," then you're also most likely an individual who wouldn't resort to changing the rules of the game after several failed attempts to get to home plate. If you did that, you'd be just as ...
Southern Californians have a tendency to have a smug attitude toward water.
Copperopolis residents are worried sick.
The 87th annual Academy Awards shouldn't be confused with entertainment.
Imagine a world where you could shop for medical procedures the way you shop for computers. Most likely, price is near the top of your list when you're looking for a new computer. Not so when the "product" is a hip replacement or an MRI. Generally, what the procedure costs is largely irrelevant. And doctors will make the decision about where the surgery will take place.

Re: 6 teams that won't make it back to playoffs
I think the guy is wrong about the Steelers. Faneca is real good but I'm left wondering if they were really worried they would've extended his contract before letting him walk. Their Offense got a real shot in the arm at skill positions and I think they will be more explosive especially being able to spell Parker.
Tenn will be interesting. The offense will probably look very David Carr-esque with drops offs to Chris Johnson and Algae Crumpler perhaps. IF they can still manage their defense they'll be at least competitve under Fisher.
I agree on Washington but I don't agree on his reasoning.
GB... I dunno Aaron Rodgers didn't look too bad in his game time last year but I agree on the QBs. Of course GB doesn't have the luxury now of leaning on the Iron-man at QB.
The only problem About Seattle I see is the rest of that weak division. Shaun Alexander leaving isn't that bad i mean look at all the teams jumping to try and sign him.

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Home Ice Erik Karlsson out indefinitely with lacerated Achilles tendon by amuir29 Email Posted: Thu Feb. 14, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EyfTzunzrUkBy Allan MuirIf Ottawa's fans thought their team's situation was bleak after it lost Jason Spezza last month, they learned on Wednesday night that things can always get worse.Erik Karlsson, the defending Norris Trophy-winner and one of the world's top players, suffered a laceration to his left Achilles tendon in the Sens' game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It will require surgery to repair, and keep him out of the lineup indefinitely.The incident occurred late in the second period when Karlsson and Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke chased the puck into the corner together. The two collided, and Cooke's left skate scraped down on Karlsson's leg. It was hard to watch.It's tough to see anybody in that kind of agony. And it's a very tough break for Karlsson, who I had picked as the early leader in this year's Norris race. He's been sensational, leading the Sens with six goals and playing up to 30 minutes a night. The Sens may have been able to overcome Spezza's loss. But take away Karlsson, too, and they're a lottery team. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.There's going to be a lot of debate about what exactly happened on the play because of who was involved. Cooke has been an exemplary citizen for more than a season now, but he'll never outlive the reputation he built during 11 years of lawlessness.If you're a Sens fan, chances are you saw malicious intent on the play, with Cooke twirling his mustache and cackling as he lifted his skate blade then slashed deep into Karlsson's ankle. Me, I don't think so. Awful, unfortunate...but it looked like Cooke was simply trying to pin Karlsson with his leg. A horrible result, but purely accidental from my viewpoint."The play... was reviewed by the NHL Department of Player Safety in New York. There was nothing illegal about the sequence," sources told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Sad thing is that it might have been preventable with a $30 pair of Kevlar socks -- a level of protection a number of NHLers currently employ.

Can i use step mashing for any brew kit i order online? Also if i do use step mashing where can i find info about calculating acid rest and protein rest temps, i have found general info of 122 for protein rest and 95 for acid rest, i didnt know if this changed with the different types of grains or if thats standard for all grains, they never gave how long to hold those temps either. Last question for now, i dont have a brewpot with a valve in it, if i do mash in my pot do i just pour the finished product in my mash tun and wait for the grain to settle and continue as normal, i didnt know if that would introduce oxygen or if that would have any negative effect. Thanks for all the advice, this site has been awesome! Cheers!
Check out this site.. http://www.brewersfriend.com/stats/ There are lots of useful calculators on there. I don't see any reason that you can't step mash a kit. Some steps like the acid rest or protein rest might not be necessary, but that's all debatable. Good luck with your brew!
I don't believe anyone does an acid rest anymore. There is a different rest, confusingly called ferulic acid rest, that many people do for Hefeweizen-type beers, which I do at 113 degrees. Protein rests are also not necessary for most beer styles and malts, and can in fact be detrimental to head retention if I recall correctly. Pouring the mash between vessels isn't ideal, but the effect that this causes (Hot Side Aeration) is not something 99% of tasters will be able to pick up in the final beer. I have done this myself (step mash in kettle, pour into mash tun to lauter and sparge), and didn't perceive any problems.
Thanks for the advice i think i will skip the step mashing, a thought on the yeast though, i am the having the yeast shipped to me and the temp outside is going to reach around 90 on the day it will be delivered, i cant control the temp of the yeast while in transit, could the liquid yeast die before it gets to me, is there anyway to tell if the yeast is ok before i brew?
It's unlikely that all the cells will die, but it may very well be stressed. You should do a yeast starter to check the yeast and build up its numbers before pitching it into your main batch.
I saw a guy who had a MLT with out a drain. He had a manifold and a pipe rising up out of the MLT which he put some clear hose on and since your not concerned with sanitation he started the flow by syphon (by sucking it, hence clear hose so he could see when syphon was started to avoid burns). It worked for him. I takes about 10min and only a few dollars to make a manifold from copper or cpvc. +1 for yeast starters, they are a must for all liquid yeast use a calc tool to calculate cell count like Mr Malty.

KIEV, Ukraine — Separatist rebels fired on Ukrainian positions nearly 50 times in the past 24 hours and Russia is sending more tanks into Ukraine despite a cease-fire that was supposed to take effect five days ago, a Ukrainian military spokesman said Friday.
MOSCOW (AP) — NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been granted permission to stay in Russia for three more years, his lawyer said Thursday. Snowden last year was granted temporary asylum of one year in Russia, but that ran out on Aug. 1.
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday hit back hard against countries that have imposed sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, ordering trade cuts an official said would include a ban on all imports of agricultural products from the United States. The full list of products to be banned or limited for up to one year is to be published Thursday. But the state news agency RIA Novosti quoted Alexei Alexeenko of Russia's plant and veterinary oversight service as saying "from the USA, all products that are produced there and brought to Russia will be prohibited."
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin called President Barack Obama on Friday to discuss a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian crisis, while Ukraine's fugitive leader urged a nationwide referendum that would serve Moscow's purpose of turning its neighbor into a loosely knit federation. The statement from Viktor Yanukovych, the former Ukrainian president who fled to Russia last month after three months of protests, raised the threat of more unrest in Ukraine's Russian-speaking eastern provinces, where many resent the new Ukrainian government.
KIEV, Ukraine - A Ukrainian air force commander is being held after his base in Crimea was stormed by pro-Russian forces, and the acting president called for his release Sunday. Col.
KIEV, Ukraine — Ignoring the toughest sanctions against Moscow since the end of the Cold War, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula as an "independent and sovereign country" on Monday, a bold challenge to Washington that escalates one of Europe's worst security crises in years.
KIEV, Ukraine - Ukraine's foreign minister said Monday that his country was practically in a state of war with Russia, as Moscow further ratcheted up pressure on Kiev, claiming that Russian-leaning eastern regions have plunged into lawlessness.
KIEV, Ukraine - Amid the deepest turmoil since the Orange Revolution, President Viktor Yanukovych's announcement Thursday that he was taking indefinite sick leave prompted a guessing game among Ukrainians about what was happening to their country.
SOCHI, Russia - For visitors to the Winter Olympics, Sochi may feel like a landscape from a dream - familiar and strange at once.
MOSCOW — Defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum Thursday, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he has been holed up for weeks in hopes of evading espionage charges back home. Russia appears to have reckoned ending Snowden's airport limbo was worth intensifying a political standoff with United States. The White House said it was "extremely disappointed" and warned that the decision could derail an upcoming summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

KENNEDY MEMORIES: Memories of 1963, from readers
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Standard-Times readers share their memories of Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was killed.
Del Velasquez, executive director of Downtown San Angelo Inc.
On Nov. 22, 1963, I was attending seventh-grade English class at Sacred Heart Catholic School when at approximately 1:15 p.m. Mother Matildas (the principal) interrupted the class and whispered to Sister Margaret Mary (our English teacher), who instantaneously began to weep. After gaining her composure, she announced to the class that an attack had occurred in Dallas on President Kennedy's motorcade and it was believed that he was killed.
Sister Margaret Mary led in us prayer and asked me to go next door and ask Father Fideles (our pastor) if we should ring the church bells.
I immediately ran to the rectory and ran into Father Fideles on his way to the sanctuary. He gave me permission to ring the church bells that would ring during a funeral Mass. The bell would only ring once and four seconds later would ring again.
Within minutes people started arriving at the church and would kneel at the communion railing to pray. Both men and women were weeping. Witnessing this outpouring of grief touched my heart and I began to weep.
At home, I found Mom sitting in front of the television weeping. She had just returned from San Antonio and told me she had seen the president and Mrs. Kennedy in a parade in downtown San Antonio the day before.
A few years later for one of my assignments, I wrote an English paper on the assassination. One of my classmates was Tom Burnett, the son of former State Rep. Dick Burnett. Mr. Burnett was an FBI Agent in Dallas at that time and participated in the investigation of the assassination. Mr. Burnett helped provide information and photographs for use in my report.
Little did I know that I would later have the opportunity to meet key individuals that played a role on that fateful day. Here, in chronological order, are those I met with ties to the Kennedys:
In 1982, I met Secret Service Agent Bill Greer, who was driving the presidential limousine the day of the assassination. It was during a reunion of former agents at the White House hosted by President Reagan. At the time, I was working for then-Vice President George Bush.
During the 1984 Reagan/Bush campaign, the senior correspondent for CBS News assigned to cover then-Vice President Bush during the months leading up to the election was Ike Pappas. Mr. Pappas was the reporter and eyewitness (standing next to) Jack Ruby when he shot Lee Harvey Oswald. My role during this campaign was to coordinate the traveling press and I had the opportunity to hear Mr. Pappas talk about his experiences as a journalist covering the assassination.
During my time in New York City (1996), I worked at the former world headquarters of AT&T in lower Manhattan, best known as the TriBeCa area, which was two blocks from John F. Kennedy's Jr. apartment building. I would on occasion greet him on the corner of Avenue of the Americas and Church Street. During that same year, I had the opportunity to sit with him and his wife-to-be during a New York Knicks basketball game in Madison Square Garden. I was invited by Todd Calavino (a former White House colleague), who was the personal aide to New York City Police Commissioner Howard Safir. Todd was the liaison to John Kennedy Jr.'s New York City police protection detail.
During my time in New York City I met Aileen Schlef, whose mother was a longtime employee of Mrs. Kennedy. She shared stories about Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis. My regret is that I did not pursue the chance to meet her when that opportunity existed.
In 1998, I served as a member of the Advisory Marketing Committee of the "Sixth Floor Museum" in Dallas. During this time I met Secret Service Agent Clint Hill. Agent Hill jumped onto the back of the limousine following the attack on the president.
I had the opportunity to meet and work on legislative policy with Sen. Ted Kennedy on various telecommunication projects from 1996 to 2000.
Recently, I met Julian Read, who was Gov. Connelly's press secretary and who has written a book, "JFK's Final Hours In Texas: An Eyewitness Remembers the Tragedy and It's Aftermath."
Throughout my career while working for President George Bush or in the private sector, I had the opportunity to meet Caroline Kennedy while attending events throughout 1991 to 2006.
My brush with history and the Kennedy family is one that I will always relish.
Jerry Lackey, San Angelo
Heading to speech class in the main building on the San Angelo College campus Nov. 22, 1963, I learned about President John Kennedy being shot. After the announcement, the class was dismissed.
I hurried to the Ram Page office on the second floor of the student center and learned the president had died.
At the time, I was editor of the Ram Page, the official publication of San Angelo College. The newspaper was a weekly and already had been issued that week. Therefore, the decision was made to do a memorial the next week.
Our staff photographer, Rex N. Enochs, was in Fort Worth and made a picture of President Kennedy speaking to a crowd outside the Texas Hotel just four hours before he was slain by an assassin's bullet in Dallas. Rex's picture became part of the Ram Page story.
I had a part-time job as weekend photographer and cub reporter at the San Angelo Standard-Times. When I reported there for work, the newsroom was bustling, phones ringing, people wandering in off the street wanting to know the latest news. I would not witness a scene like that again until Sept. 11, 2001, when two jets flew into the twin towers in New York.
In December 1963, I was assigned by Standard-Times publisher Millard Cope to cover the visit of German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard to Fredericksburg and Stonewall, hosted by President Lyndon Johnson.
Witnessing that history as a young journalist that 50 years ago, in 1963, forever changed things for me.

Pat West, San Angelo
It was a beautiful Friday in San Angelo on Nov. 22, 1963. I don't remember it being warm but it was sunny. I had gone to work for San Angelo National Bank on Monday the 18th. At that time the bank was located on the southwest corner of Chadbourne and Twohig, and my department was located on the mezzanine.
We had a busy morning getting everything posted and balanced before the weekend. At noon, my husband and I went home for lunch, and at 12:30 p.m., I turned on the TV to watch "As the World Turns," and that is when the world as I knew it changed forever.
Just a few minutes into the program, a CBS News bulletin with Walter Cronkite announced that President Kennedy, along with Gov. Connally, had been shot and was being taken to Parkland Hospital. Of course, at that time, there was no name attached to the shooter, only where the shots came from and continuous reruns of the network films showing him being shot.
It is difficult to describe what I felt that day and in the days to come: certainly shock, disbelief and a need to discuss it endlessly, but it was also an end of innocence for my generation as I imagine Pearl Harbor was for an earlier generation.
When the announcement came of his death, I'll never forget looking out at Chadbourne Street, and there was not a person or a moving vehicle to be seen.
Mike Lehr, San Angelo (former principal of Travis, Bowie and Glenn schools)
My friend Harvey Palmer and I were in downtown San Antonio on Nov. 21, 1963. We saw the presidential motorcade coming down the street where we were standing. This street was very narrow. As the presidential vehicle went by us, President Kennedy looked right at me. I spoke to him and he smiled and waved in my direction. I told Harvey, "Look at these old buildings. Anyone could take a firearm and shoot President Kennedy." Jackie Kennedy had a very uncomfortable expression on her face. President Kennedy was not popular with some Texans.
The next day we were on our way back to San Angelo. We stopped for gas, and the service station attendant told us what happened in Dallas — a very sad day for our country.
Chris Leifeste, Brady
Lunchtime for my friends and I in November 1963 was normally fairly routine at Mason High School — hurry out to pile into one of our cars when the bell rang, beat everyone else to the Kreme Kup a few blocks from the school, pick up our orders and wolf them down. Hopefully after that we had time to cruise the drag before heading back to campus for our first afternoon class. Sometimes after returning to campus, we even had a few minutes to visit while listening to music on the car radio before the bell rang.
On Nov. 22, lunch wasn't routine. It began normally, but as I sat in a friend's car after returning to campus, the music was interrupted by Walter Cronkite announcing to the world that President Kennedy had been shot during a parade in Dallas. Shortly afterward the bell rang, and, without knowing the President's condition, my friend and I quietly went to senior English, our first afternoon class, where we were scheduled to take a test. The principal made the campuswide announcement that he would have his office radio on and teachers could permit their classes to listen. Our teacher agreed, and after listening several minutes, we learned that the president was deceased. What a somber mood that prevailed in the classroom. However, we were quickly brought back to the reality that the world would go on when our teacher announced that despite our protests we would indeed be taking the test as scheduled.
Jimmy Galindo, San Angelo
I was in second grade attending Sacred Heart Catholic School in downtown San Angelo. Our class had just returned from lunch and we were settling into our homeroom class when the announcement came over the intercom that President Kennedy had just been shot. School officials sent everyone home immediately.
It was the end of the innocence in our young lives.
Mary Allen, San Angelo
That day is etched in my memories so well. I was a 7-year-old who, on that fateful day, was excitedly waiting for three more days when I would turn 8 years old. That afternoon as school let out, I was walking home, and when I went through the crosswalk to start my journey, my brother's friend told me, "Hey, Mary, President Kennedy got shot ... in the head." I was going to be walking home to an empty house and I was shocked by the news. My parents constantly talked about World War II and their worries about another world war. They had been so proud when Kennedy had alleviated the Cuban missile crisis, and they felt he was a good president. Now he was gone, and I was terrified that this meant war would start soon. When I arrived home, I turned on the TV to watch the usual cartoons and only saw Walter Cronkite giving out the horrible news that President Kennedy had just passed away. I remember tears coming down from my eyes as I watched how sad Mr. Cronkite was as he made the announcement.
We had a day off school during the mourning process and the funeral. When we went back to school, that day was my birthday. My mom had canceled my party because she said that no one felt like celebrating and it would be wrong to have a party when the country was so sad. I was allowed to bring cupcakes to school for my class and we ate them in silence that afternoon. I understood.

With profound sorrow, on behalf of the World Boxing Council I am declaring today a day of world mourning for the tragic passing away of our dear and loyal friend, many times a world champion and WBC Peace and Concord Ambassador Vernon Forrest, who loved the green and gold belt loyally and was an active financial sponsor of the mentally handicapped, as well as a sponsor of other associations that benefit those in need. He was a truly exemplary man from the United States. Vernon was an Olympic fighter in Barcelona, World Boxing Council Continental Americas champion and NABF champion. After personally asking me for a title shot, he amazed the world when he won the WBC welterweight world title by defeating then-champion, Shane Mosley, and later amazed everybody again when he defeated Mosley in the rematch. Vernon also won the WBC super welterweight world title, which he had to leave due to an injury, and he was preparing to challenge for the WBC world title once again when he was murdered. The WBC sends its deepest condolences to his family and friends, among whom some of them stand out: Al Haymon, his eternal manager, Charles Watson, and all the fans of the U.S.A. and the whole world. It is truly regrettable that so many tragedies have struck boxing in 2009, as just recently former WBC world champions Alexis Arguello of Nicaragua and Arturo Gatti of Canada went through tragedies that ended their lives. The WBC said its goodbyes to them by placing a green and gold world championship belt on their coffins, exactly the same thing that was done when Mexican fighter Raul Raton Macias, the top idol of Mexican people, recently passed away. Other former world champions, heroes of their countries and boxing, have also passed away in this tragic 2009: Ingemar Johansson of Sweden, who won the title by defeating the immortal Floyd Patterson; Saensak Muangsurin of Thailand, who was buried after receiving the honors of his Majesty, the King of Thailand; Johnny Caldwell of Ireland, one of the greatest bantamweight fighters in his time; Jose Chegui Torres of Puerto Rico, a great friend of ours, the 1956 Olympic silver medalist and light heavyweight world champion; Alfredo Marcano of Venezuela, super featherweight world champion and an idol in his country; Giovanni Parisi of Italy, lightweight world champion and the idol of Italian promoter, Salvatore Cherchi; Jisselle Salandy of Trinidad and Tobago, WBC female super welterweight world champion and an example to the world. Parisi and Salandy also passed away in a tragic way. May they rest in peace and May God comfort their families and all the people who loved them.

Arup's Latest Solar Panels Produce Energy From Algae
Architects have been experimenting with the potential of building envelopes for years. Now, Arup has an interesting, Zumtobel Group Award-nominated proposal: the Solarleaf bioreactor. Developed in collaboration with SSC Strategic Science Consult GmbH and Colt International GmbH, this thin, 2.5 x .07 meter panel, when attached to the exterior of a building, is capable of generating biofuel – in the form of algae – for the production of hot water. More efficient than electricity and more sustainable than wood, algae is ideal kindling for producing heat, especially since it can be grown on-site. Moreover, the water in which the algae grows also collects solar energy, providing an additional supply of heat. More details on this sustainable innovation, after the break.

Gehry's Berlin Skyscraper May Be Too Heavy for Alexanderplatz
After winning the design competition for Germany's tallest apartment tower in January, Frank Gehry's project for the building on Alexanderplatz has already run into problems over fears that the 150-metre building could be too heavy for its site. The German edition of the Local is reporting that Berlin's Senate has placed the plans on hold because of the building's proximity to the U5 branch of the U-Bahn tunnel, which it fears could be crushed under the weight.

So I went to the shrink today and what did she say? There's no need to follow up in the next few days. I've made progress and have come to terms, with the past, present and future at their worst. Telling my story once again, it'll never be hard, knowing where to begin. I can thank everyone I've ever come across, to never feel that I'm at a loss. Dark days behind me I only want to see the light, I've never been one do go down without a fight. My mind is in the clear but should I thank the drugs? Or the one woman I love, sent from heaven up above? Maybe the undying the dedication for those I hold dear, never giving in to my worst fear.

So I really would like to utilize my small(er) 1.5 gal kettle for my second brew, I didn't for my first, and I'm not really sure if this method will exactly work :/ but here goes This is a 5.5 gal extract batch, on my first brew I only produced around 2.2 gal of wort and the rest was top up water. I would like to get that wort to around 4 gal! I have around 1lb 7oz of steeping grains. I was considering steeping these in the smaller kettle, then bringing to a boil. Elsewhere....my main brew pot is 2.2 gal, what I was thinking was to boil up my DME + hop additions for the full 60mins, chill my water grains have been steeping in, add that to the fermenter, chill the main kettle, and add that to the fermenter? In other words, is it possible to boil your steeping water separately to your fermentables and hops, and only combine them in the fermenter? Thanks guys, always thinking ahead
I see no problem with that plan. Cheers!
~ "Anything worth doing, is worth doing slowly." ~~ Mae West
Excellent! Do you think the removal of the steeping grains from the mail boil change the time and/or quantity of my hop additions or when the hot break will happen?
I maybe didn't read your post carefully - you do plan to boil both pots for an hour, yes? You will steep your grains at 150 to 160, then remove the grains and bring that pot to a boil. The other pot will have the DME and water (many people put half the DME at the start, and the rest at the end of the boil, but that's splitting hairs at this point). Since both pots get boiled for an hour, it doesn't really matter too much which one (or both!) get the hops - just follow the schedule for the hop additions and you'll be fine. Cheers!
I'd save the bulk of the DME and add it at flame out. Three reasons- better tasting beer, lighter color, and it'll take up less room in the pot! Add a pound or two of extract at the beginning, and then at the rest of it at flame out. Cool both pots to under 80 degrees, cool, and then mix and top up with cold water to get to 65 degrees before adding the yeast.
The split twin boil idealogy works well when brewing indoors on a weak stovetop. But it's tough to formulate recipes based on this type of system. Planning your addition amounts/times can easily become quite confused and much can be overlooked/forgotten. It takes some experience to get used to this method of brewing. But I would say that it's pointless to do so with a 1.5 - 2.5 gallon capacity kettle... especially after boil off loss via evaporation and hop absorption of the wort. Invest in kettles with at least a 4 gallon capacity. The closer you can get to having two kettles of the same size, the better. Otherwise, it's kind of like filling your car full of gas, and also filling a container with 2 gallons of additional gas to put in your trunk for later. Kind of silly...an extra meaningless step which requires more work than the effort you put into simply just filling up again. Mashing your grain in the smaller kettle shouldn't be a problem though... especially if you're only mashing 2-3 lbs. total grain. This is a good practice when brewing via BIAB, because you can heat up the remaining boil volume to mashout temps. and then after the mashin, you can dip your BIAB bag in that mashout temp. water several times, which will also rinse the grain.
