A&E's BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT Moves to Thursdays, Beginning Tonight, 10/4
A& E has announced that its series BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT will move to Thursday nights at 10PM ET/PT, beginning tonight, October 4, 2012.
"Beyond Scared Straight" is inspired by "Scared Straight!," the Academy Award and multiple Emmy-winning documentary film by Arnold Shapiro. The series follows at-risk teens who have been in trouble for everything from fighting, theft, and drugs to promiscuity, gambling and gang-relations. They are forced to spend a day in jail, interact with convicted felons and truly experience what a life behind bars is like. In the end, some change for the better, but for others, nothing changes at all.
The season premiere hones in on Boston, MA, where according to street law; the neighborhood you live in defines you; and behind bars, that means conflict. Two of the teen girls collide when they are forced together behind bars: Thalia, an unrelenting bully, fights anyone who gets in her way, even her own grandmother; but it is Jahmiya, a scrappy thief, who leads the other female delinquents to gang up on Thalia, forcing her to take in parts of jail life no one should have to stomach.
Later in the season, teens are taken to the morgue and an older brother is forced to consider how his actions could put his little brother into a body bag, one boy fails a lie detector test when asked about hitting his grandmother, a promiscuous girl is made to dance like a stripper in front of her paraplegic mom, infamous inmate "Ice Mike" returns from last season and forces the teens to put Kool-Aid powder on their lips, and a self-proclaimEd White racist teen endures the wrath of the entire African American inmate population.
Emmy-nominated "Beyond Scared Straight" has been cable's #1 non-fiction crime/justice show for two consecutive years. The series premiere was A&E's most watched original series launch of all-time among A18-49 and in its second season the series averaged 2.3 million total viewers; 1.3 million A18-49 and 1.1 million A25-54.
"Beyond Scared Straight" is produced by Arnold Shapiro Productions for A&E Network. Executive Producer is Arnold Shapiro. Co-Executive Producer is Paul J. Coyne. A&E Executive Producers are David McKillop and Laura Fleury.

Seems a little OTT for my tastes. Yes he's vital to the Colts but the entire NFL hanging in the balance? I think not.
Entire NFL could be affected by Manning's contract status By Pat Kirwan NFL.com

Manning's situation has huge ramificiations
Super Bowl exposed Steelers' defense

The NFL has designated franchise tags to a number of players. Without a collective bargaining agreement in place, however, it might not mean much, since players can't even be in the facility or get paid if there is a lockout on March 3. Sooner or later, though, teams will get back to work and the franchise tags will likely be in effect.
Franchise tag numbers
Wondering what the franchise tag number is expected to be by position this year? NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora got his hands on the information. More ...
» Additional coverage: NFL.com blogs There is a story inside the story when it comes to the franchise tag this year, especially at the quarterback position. The Colts really need to get a long-term deal done with Peyton Manning, which I believe they will at some point, but if they don't, it could cause big financial issues around the NFL.
Peyton Manning is more than the face of the Indianapolis Colts. He is the franchise and the single-most important player to a team in the NFL. His contract has expired, and he has consequently been hit with an exclusive rights franchise tag. The Colts reportedly offered him a four-year deal worth $72 million. It sounds astronomical, but when you consider the alternative, it is a good deal for the club, and more importantly the whole league.
The value of that franchise tag is 120 percent of his last salary ($23 million). That means that his salary per game is very close to $1.5 million, which sounds outrageous for any player, but it could grow exponentially if he ever decided to play for the franchise tag price each and every year for the next three years, instead of doing a long-term deal.
The Colts can only tag Manning for the next three years as negotiated in the last CBA, something we like to refer to as the 'Walter Jones rule,' because of the number of times he was tagged by the Seahawks. A tag on Manning for three years works out to a value of $83.72 million if you look at the chart below for the years 2011, '12, '13.
Manning's franchise tag value
Year Salary
Each year that the club had to offer him a franchise tag to retain his services, his contract would be guaranteed the second he signed the offer sheet. There are projections that estimate the 2011 salary cap could be in the neighborhood of $150 million per team, if and when there is a new CBA. Although it is speculation at this point, if that number is accurate, Manning's franchise tag salary would consume about 15.3% of the salary cap in 2011, leaving 52 players to divide up the other 85 percent.
There are other issues that also make Peyton Manning playing under a franchise tag for three straight years problematic. Tom Brady signed a four-year deal worth $72 million prior to the season, a manageable contract. The other matter at hand is the top-five by position situation. The franchise tag for a quarterback would raise $2 million if Manning sits atop the list with a number of $23 million. The ripple effect of Manning would ultimately affect every quality quarterback in the NFL that had an expiring contract.
Michael Vick also received an exclusive franchise tag and his salary, if no long-term deal is consummated, could be close to $16 million, which would push the quarterback franchise average even higher.
Let's take a quick look at Saints quarterback Drew Brees. He is entering the last year of his contract at $7.4 million. He would be a free agent next year, if he doesn't negotiate a long-term deal. The franchise tag value could be close to $19 million by that time, which means Brees would basically get $10 million more than the 120 percent raise would have given him if Manning and Vick were not franchised.
By the time a guy like Matt Ryan's contract expires after the 2013 season, Tony Romo in 2014, or even worse Aaron Rodgers in 2015, we would be looking at a franchise number that's hard to comprehend. The Falcons and the Saints are paying a lot closer attention to the negotiations up in Indianapolis than you might think, because of the ripple effect it will eventually have on their clubs.

Replace to smaller implants.Placed 2007. Mentor Saline MP 425cc filled to 460 and 457. I am 5'6 and currently 119lbs. 34D to DD. 30yr no kids.Previous 34A. Avid marathon runner and exerciser. Breasts r heavy. Two consultations. One Dr deflate for 6 weeks and then choose an implant size.Second Dr 300cc filled 325.Mentor Saline MP. I don't want silicone.Suggested not go go under 300.Would like to be around a sm/md c cup and or half the size.Wondering if 300cc will be a good choice and not to big.
Replace Implants to Smaller Size? (photo)
Doctor Answers 6
Smaller is better
Unfortunately, your photograph is not optimal but it appears that your breasts are too low and too large. At size 32 A each 100 cc's of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you want to be a C you would only require approximately 200 cc implants. I recommend a new technique called Implant Exchange with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, your implants can be exchanged with smaller ones. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall gives maximum anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable long term, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Saline implants undergo spontaneous leakage and require replacement. The advantage of this new technique is a smaller implant will give you the desired projection, will resolve the heaviness of your breasts and provide mechanical support to your existing breast tissue.

Replace Implants to Smaller Size?
Thank you for the question.
Although you describe your history and current situation nicely, no one ( including your own plastic surgeon) will be able to predict with certainty exactly what cup size you will wear after revisionary breast surgery. As you know, cup sizes can be quite arbitrary and vary from one bra manufacturer to another.
Furthermore, terms such as "natural" can mean different things to different people and, like discussing cup sizes, can be a source of miscommunication.
Therefore, best not to communicate your goals or gauge the success of the breast surgery on achieving a specific cup size. Also, best not to use terms that can be misinterpreted.
Instead, I would suggest that you communicate your goals in front of a full-length mirror and/or with the help of goal pictures. Show your plastic surgeon what you would like your breasts to look like and what you consider too small and too big.
This careful communication will be one of the keys to successful outcome of the planned procedure.
You and your plastic surgeon should also discuss the size of the breast implant space (capsule) and whether capsulorraphy will also be necessary at the time of downsizing of breast implants. Furthermore, the quality and position of the overlying breast skin should also be taken into consideration to determine whether breast lifting will be necessary at the same time.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Downsizing implants
Most likely you will be a good candidate for a reduction of your implant size to 300 cc. It is not a bad idea to deflate your current implants to allow the breast to contract a little and the existing capsule to shrink down. This can be done under local anesthesia. In most cases like this I would the replace the smaller implant in about 6 weeks.
You might also like...
Going to a Smaller Impant
Of course you can go with a smaller implant, if that is what you are looking for. The pocket has been stretched to support the implant you now have, so the surgeon would need to tighten the pocket to fit/support the smaller implant, this is called a capsulorraphy. Keep in mind, each patient is different and depending on what size you are, if they are "sagging" etc, a lift may be needed. You should look for a Plastic Surgeon who is skilled in reconstruction of the breast pocket and consistently gets a good aesthetic result. The best plan would be to do some research in your area and consult with a Plastic Surgeon to have an examination of your particular options.
Dr. Milind K Ambe's Office
Replace Implants to Smaller Size?
You can tolerate new implants at 300 cc's without a problem. The capsule will shrink around the new implant. I would choose silicone as these will be lighter and somewhat softer.
Downsizing breast impalnts
Decreasing the size of breast implants and achieving a good aesthetic and functional results is most often not just a matter of removing and replacing the implants. Deflating the implants will allow your tissues to contract a bit (variable from patient to patient due to the health of your breast tissue) and can help with selecting new implants. In my experience when a woman decides she wants to be smaller because of avid running, etc. it often involves a skin-tightening procedure and even a site change if your original implants are above the muscle. I would discuss what your realistic expectations are from this procedure and have your board-certified plastic surgeon review images of photos of patients that are similar to your situation. I wish you well.

Best GoPro film soundtrack ideas – Captain Beefheart
The GoPro Chronicles: I got introduced to Captain Beefheart in high school by a friend who was really into The Greatful Dead but I didnt' really appreciate this type of music till much later. I went more prog then onto punk/alternative. The jury is still out on the Dead though. It's these weird herky-jerky type of moody tunes that will make for great GoPro or movie soundtracks, when the cuts are quick and disorientating so your film seem to cruise along.
Anyway, here's a few other songs I think that might be good for a variety of camera moves. The sound bed you lay down in the background is essential to your edit for your family film. Sets a mood you can't put into words and sets expectations. The subtle way you transition to each scene from verse to chorus will make your edit seems like it's moving faster or slower. When shooting don't forget to pan left and right, up and down slowly and steadily for the best B-Roll. The GoPro is much more forgiving when you shoot a fast frame rate. Which on the silver is between 30-60 FPS. You can never have enough B-Roll. Ever.
Obviously, you might not be able to easily afford clearing these songs but to practice yours skills they are great; the point is its a important to be familiar with the song. Not everybody is going to be able to score their own music. That would be ridiculous. Obviously unless you are making a rock video and shooting specifically for that song. There are millions of songs that you can lay-in while you find the perfect one. But there is always the risk of falling in love with something that just does not work. Anyway, here's some ideas to get you thinking for something moody. This was also my first GoPro shoot. There are just 25-30 transitions in this one(guestimate). So as always enjoy the tunes and thanks for watching!
Captain Beefheart – Zig Zag Wanderer MP3 from Safe as Milk (1967)
Frank Zappa –Don't Eat The Yellow Snow MP3 from Apostrophe (')(1974)
R.E.M. –Camera MP3 from Reckoning (1984)
Throwing Muses –film (2013)
Residents –Boots from Meet The Residents(1974)
The Plugz –El Clavo Y La Cruz MP3 from the Repo Man Soundtrack (1984)
Built to Spill –I Dim Our Angst In Agony MP3 from The Electronic Anthology Project (2010)
Here's some other edits that I did after first one that worked brialiantly.

It seems that actress Mayim Bialik is quickly becoming the famous face of "attachment parenting." In a post written at TODAY Moms, the mother-of-two gives a glimpse into her parenting style – and explains why when it comes to parenting "labels mean nothing."
"We had our first son in 2005, and I nursed him on demand around the clock for 26 months – no pacifiers, no bottles, no solids until 12 months," Mayim writes. "Son No. 2 was born in 2008 at home, unassisted until pushing. He is still nursing strong and on demand, day and night, at almost 2½.
"This is not some fandangled new Hollywood trend. We parent the way people have parented for hundreds of thousands of years."
Insisting on a woman's right to a drug-free labor and delivery, Mayim says, "Natural birth is not something to 'try for' and feel bad you couldn't do. Our country needs to step up to the plate in educating women about the benefits of natural birth, and we need to help women actually do it – not just hear about it."
The former Blossom star goes on to reveal more of her parenting beliefs, advocating breastfeeding, baby-wearing and "gentle discipline." She also dishes on the family's sleeping arrangements: Bed-sharing!
"We have two futon mattresses on the floor, since it's the safest way to sleep for babies (there's nowhere for them to fall if they are already on the floor!). It's usually me and the little guy on one mattress and my husband and our 5-year-old on the other, although the 5-year-old bounces around throughout the night. Sometimes we all cuddle together when we wake up; it is something we never imagined we'd do until we had our first son, and it is intimate, fun, safe and beautiful."
In the end, Mayim writes, she does what she feels is best for her boys.
"I do not judge anyone, because that's not what my job on this earth is. My job is to do my best for my kids: to be the best mama I can be to them."

text: Many of you are familier with our full size rack for the 250 - 530 cc KTMs. It looks like this... While the full size rack is one of our most popular products that have been on some long rides we found that some riders were looking for something smaller. So we came up with the Mini-Rack... How do they compare? Let's take a look... The full size rack was developed to carry up to 60 lbs of gear, fuel & water in standard panniers & RotoPax cans for multi day / week rides. Maybe you want to carry less for the week end ride. What do you do? That is where the Mini Rack comes into the picture. The Mini-Rack allows you to carry a RotoPax can on the top rack and gear on the sides. And it carries that load forward of typical saddle bags to further improve handling... It can do this because it has integrated daisy chain loops on the side tubes to hold gear in place & keep it from sliding forward... Additionally, the Mini-Rack is lighter weight. Where the full sized rack weighs 9 lbs the mini rack weighs only 5 lbs. With the 1 gallon RotoPax can it looks like this... You can even be greedy & load up a 1.75 gal can... These racks fit any KTM from the 250 to 530 cc size, model years 2008 & on, and nearly all models such as the EXC, XC, XCW, etc. If either of these racks can help you have a better more care free ride, please visit out web site....

Cadence is a leading provider of system design tools, software, IP, and services.
I was wondering if it is possible to enable support for the math functions in SystemVerilog (such as $sin) in the AMS simulator. When I try to run a systemverilog file including $sin built-in function in IEEE 1800-2009, I get the following error:
sjit = AMP_NOISE*($sin($realtime*2*PI/TNOISE));
Unrecognized system task or function (did not match built-in or user-defined names) [2.7.4(IEEE Std 1364-2001)].
The file runs without a problem in another system verilog simulator (Questa). Is there any option that I should use in the AMS simulator? Or does it simply not support the basic math functions?
I am using IC6.1.5.
Are you putting this code in a SystemVerilog view? Or in a VerilogAMS or Verilog view? It has to be in a SystemVerilog view.
I tried (from the command line, since it was quick to test) putting this in a file called "forum.sv":
module forum;parameter real AMP_NOISE=1.0;parameter real PI=3.1415926;parameter real TNOISE=1e-6;real sjit;always #10 begin sjit = AMP_NOISE*($sin($realtime*2*PI/TNOISE)); $strobe(sjit); endalways #1000 $finish;endmodule
And then ran "irun forum.sv" - and it worked fine. The ".sv" suffix told irun that this is SystemVerilog.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
I am running from systemverilog view. Below is the irun arguments I got from the output log file (I redacted some of the company specific arguments). The line in bold italic is where the systemverilog view is defined.

Soundgarden Adds Bonus Tracks To Deluxe Version Of New Album
Soundgarden will add three bonus tracks to the deluxe edition of its upcoming album, King Animal. According to HenneMusic, the cuts will be demo versions of the songs "Black Saturday," "Worse Dreams" and "By Crooked Steps," all of which appear in finished form on the main 13-song album. King Animal is the first collection of all-new material from Soundgarden in 16 years, and first since the group reunited in 2010.
Drummer Matt Cameron told us two things that he thinks made Soundgarden special then and now: "In our scene up here in the Northwest in the '80s and '90s, we were sometimes considered to be the Rush of Seattle, just because we could sort of play our instruments maybe better than most bands (laughs). We never really tried to flaunt any musical chops, but we always had pretty diverse tastes. We had a lot of really cool influences amongst ourselves that we tried to infuse in the music."
King Animal is due out on November 13th. The first single from the disc is called "Been Away Too Long."
Singer Chris Cornell told OnstageWeb that the track is literally about the band's reunion, explaining, "It means that a group, in this case personified by Soundgarden, has been away and the length of that away time has suddenly become maybe overextended. So been away too long, like thank God we're back now. It seems like it might have been a little bit too long for us to be gone."
The vocalist added that he was surprised that Soundgarden seems poised to once again fill a void for "real" rock music, saying, "I always expected that after we broke up or even maybe before we broke up that there should be or would be some very vital scene, numerous interesting rock bands that are kind of taking the history of rock music and making it their own."

*Note - Gov. Perry frequently departs from prepared remarks.
Thank you [REP] Carl [Isett] and thank you for your service to our state and our nation.
I want to thank everyone for being here today and for giving me the chance to hear your perspectives on the ongoing effort in Washington to take over the American health care system.
With a couple of different bills in play and so many different voices coming out of Congress it can be tough to figure out exactly what Washington has in mind.
The signs we've seen to date are not encouraging. In fact, they're downright frightening.
A few weeks ago I received a report from the Texas Public Policy Foundation that set aside the soft issues and described the proposed reforms in terms everyone can understand: dollars.
Turns out we're talking billions of dollars, with a b that will stream out of the wallets and purses of our citizens without significantly improving access or treatment in our health care system.
In the same way you can kill a plant with too much fertilizer, Washington is on the verge of overwhelming our healthcare system with more bureaucracy and more taxpayer dollars.
The end result will be a system that lacks the vitality and innovation that comes from true competition.
Take out the free market forces that exert downward pressure on prices and we'll really be in trouble.
Don't get me wrong: our healthcare system isn't perfect.
However, the federal government is doing what they do best spending huge amounts of borrowed money on fixes that don't necessarily solve the problem.
Outside of tube socks and trucker caps, the "one-size-fits-all" approach just doesn't work.
Cutting into a state's ability to apply local fixes to local problems stifles the sort of innovative solutions that states can create when we're given the chance.
Regardless of which approach Washington chooses I can assure you that it will feature one key message they want more control of your health care, and they want it now.
The people joining me here today have dedicated their lives to providing health care to people in need, so they know this business inside and out.
Their experience and study have left them well-versed on what's not working, but they also have probably the best grasp on what is working within the health care system.
Their points of view, their experiences, and their insights are vital to this process.
Unfortunately, Washington has largely turned a deaf ear in their direction, preferring, instead, to let a group of career bureaucrats dictate the approach all of America must take.
We can be pretty certain that will not end well.
So, we will continue to discuss these issues and make our voices be heard, because we are the people who pay the taxes and, most importantly, because we are the ones who will live with whatever care the federal government decides is sufficient for us and our families.
Given the choice, we'd prefer local solutions to local challenges. That's how we do things in Texas.
So, thank you all again for your passion on this issue, and don't give up because this conversation is far from over.
Now, to continue this conversation, I'd like to introduce a man who is right at the center of the debate as it rages in Texas, the Texas Commissioner of Insurance Mr. Mike Geeslin. Mike?

THE MISER. Directed by Sylvaine Strike, with Lionel Newton, Patricia Boyer, Mpho Osei-Tutu, and Kate Liquorish. At the Baxter Theatre, Mondays to Saturdays until May 25 at 8pm. GREG SMITH reviews.
IN A bid to skyrocket their GDP, China has built the equivalent of Rome every two months for the past decade. The result is a series of ghost cities, totalling 64 million vacant homes. In India, R700m castles are being built on slums, and in South Africa, Kenny Kunene gets to eat sushi off naked girls while there are 1 500 people for each working toilet in Khayelitsha.
These are some examples of why Sylvaine Strike's revival of a 400-year-old play is shockingly relevant to today's society. Written by playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (Molière) in 1668, The Miser looks at greed, our fear of sharing, and society's obsession with hoarding.
The show's title refers to the aged widower Harpagon (Lionel Newton), a paranoid and stingy soapbox orator who eavesdrops on his children and makes his guests empty their pockets before leaving the house. He tweaks his head suspiciously and wrings his hands.
Harpagon has two children, a son Cléante (William Harding), and a daughter Élise (Kate Liquorish). They are both desperate to get married, something their dad will only consent to if the related costs aren't required to come from his pocket.
Performed in the style of Commedia dell'Arte (comedy of the craft of improvisation), there is loads of movement on stage. Every time a character speaks, an actor is required to bend, bow, curtsy, crouch, or perform air yoga. On top of remembering copious amounts of dialogue, this takes a lot of skill and muscle output. And while some of the positions look downright painful, you'll never see this reflected on any faces during the show's two hour running time.
At the beginning, Harpagon (nearing 70) is courting an attractive younger woman, Mariane (Motlaji Ditodi). But unbeknown to him, his son is doing the very same. Meanwhile, Harpagon's daughter is in love with one of their stewards, Valère (Atwanda Kani), a frustrating fact seeing as her father has already promised her to a wealthy nobleman. Throw in a Blackadder-like manservant hopping through the house (Jason Bennett), a matchmaker dressed in handbags (Patricia Boyer) and an ogre-like cook, and you are in for one of the craziest shows we've seen this year.
Supported by a cast willing to rise to her vision, Strike pulls off a production that is crazy, relevant and hilarious. Newton obviously takes centre stage, but is in no way overshadowed by the likes of Boyer and Bennett, as well as Mpho Osei-Tutu's Le Flesche character.
Sarah Roberts's Naledi-winning costumes are lavish and expensive-looking. Boyer's outfit as Frosine is over-the-top, while the string of onions hanging around her cook character's groin area, just underneath a long baguette sticking from her apron's kangaroo pouch, certainly did not go unappreciated. Together with composer Dean Barrett's soundtrack, the viewer is transported to a netherworld somewhere between Game of Thrones and any of the Terry Pratchett Disc-world novels.
Robberts also designed the set along with Chen Nakar, an element of the production that is very much a character on its own. Essentially consisting of a wall of curtains, actors can step on to stage from any direction. While conversations are happening, curtains continuously twitch, shake, and vibrate, creating an overall aura of eavesdropping, peeking, and murmuring.
As both performer and director, Strike (Black and Blue, Shopping and F***in) has established herself as a versatile artist who is constantly evolving.
The Miser is staged through Strike's sheer passion for the subject matter. Not only did she translate a new version of the play with William Harding, but she also had to raise the funds herself through her Fortune Cookie Theatre Company.
While the pay-offs are huge in The Miser, it's not unfair to say that this is not "easy" production in terms of stamina and intellectual alertness required. Man cannot live on gags alone, and it is after the viewer has overcome his or her initial wonder that you'll have to dig deeper into the dialogue in order to realise the brilliance behind Molière's writing. There are some real, hard-hitting observations here for those savvy enough to recognise truth-wrapped trinkets.

Heavy monsoon rains beginning in late July 2010 triggered unprecedented flooding in Pakistan which ploughed a swathe of destruction more than 1,000 kilometres long over the course of three weeks and destroyed more than two million hectares of crops. By November 2010, 7.2 million people were still receiving food aid, and restoration of livelihoods was seen as a key priority. Oxfam, as part of the Consortium of British Humanitarian Agencies (CBHA),3
• an Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods (ESFL) programme to kick-start livelihood regeneration, targeting more than 25,000 households (150,000 individuals); and with funding from ECHO in association with local partners, launched an early recovery programme in Sindh, targeting approximately 53,000 households (318,000 people) and featuring two sectors of intervention:
• Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene projects, which in total served 48,000 households (288,000 individuals).
Where possible, activities targeted the same communities in order to achieve a more holistic impact. At the outset of the Oxfam intervention, households were asked to register one household member to receive cheques or inputs. They were encouraged to put women forward, but this was not mandatory. As a result, 25 per cent of direct beneficiaries were women, totalling approximately 6,500 households (39,000 individuals). Of households where women were directly targeted, approximately 60 per cent were female-headed, while the remaining households put forward a woman for direct participation or receipt of inputs. However, regardless of the sex of the household member directly participating or receiving inputs, it was intended that interventions should benefit the entire household, including women.
This paper will examine the extent to which this was achieved. In particular it will consider and evaluate (a) the involvement of women in programme planning and implementation; (b)

constraints that limited their involvement; and (c) programme outputs and outcomes, and the views of women on these.

Justin Bieber Feat. Rascal Flatts, 'That Should Be Me' – Video Spotlight
The music video for Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts' collaboration, 'That Should Be Me,' comes from a behind-the-scenes point of view, as the four guys are being filmed for the 'real' video.
Rascal Flatts surprise Bieber in the studio, and the four perform 'That Should Be Me' as if it were an unplanned jam session. The boys head to the set to record the 'video,' after busting out the first half of the song in Bieber's practice space. In front of the camera, Bieber and the Flatts are dressed in all black and serenading future viewers with their sweet tune about losing an old flame to another person. As Bieber and Gary LeVox lead on vocals, Jay DeMarcus brings in the piano and Joe Don Rooney incorporates the guitar.
The way the scenes tie together as if the joint effort were unplanned makes the 'That Should Be Me' video feel as raw as the emotional song — and lends you to believe the Bieber/Flatts collective force was anticipated all along.

City Of Grand Rapids Drops The Ball Again. How About GR Getting In Compliance First!
Since the City Of Grand Rapids took their good ol' time picking up the curbside Christmas Trees, this is what we get! I swear!
So on December 27th I attach the little pink tag to my Christmas Tree, you know the one, the one that the city forces you to buy if you want your Christmas Tree picked up by the sanitation department. On January 10th, when the tree is still at my curb and the residential streets in Grand Rapids are beginning to look like "catch all" alleys, I call the sanitation department. When I asked about tree pick up I was told, "Oh, well the guys can pretty much do that when they want to do it." WHAT! So you have my money but I get the service when and if you feel like it. That kind of sounds like a scam doesn't it? Who runs a city that way. I LOVE Grand Rapids and that is why I care so much about it. This is my home.
So after the storm all the Christmas Trees on my block and on the way to the Farmer's Market are buried. No excuses like we couldn't pick up the trees because of the storm. The city had 5-6 weeks to do it! So when Springtime comes around, and we're finally melting out because the city couldn't get its act together in a timely manner, if that little pink tag has melted away on all the tress, not our problem. Worse comes to worse, we can have a Christmas Tree weenie roast and call it a block party;)
Oh, and by the way, Wood TV8 did a fantastic story last night on that sidewalk ruling. Have it shoveled by Monday or pay $90 because the city will do it for you. Then I get a picture from someone, I think Wood TV8 showed the picture in the newscast. A photograph of the Grand Rapids Public School Building, parking lots and sidewalks unshoveled. You'd think before anyone puts out some kind of mandate they would make sure they are in compliance. I've been telling everyone to document everything. We're paying taxes and the City of Grand Rapids can't do their job? Give me a break…

stick mount
Okay, so now I have two motors that came with optional stick mounts, although the stick mount thingie was missing in one motor package. They are 1700 kv about 100 watt motors. Stick mount has fins - cooling? Unless the contact area on the motor/stick mount was coated with some sort of heat conductive grease I doubt the fins do all that much, but they're pretty.
My question: I'm all about easy and it seems that sliding the motor on a stick and driving the single screw is easy - motor mounted. But, is that secure enough? I mean one screw - back in the day that would be called a "Jesus screw" because when it lets go the pilot would go JESUS! Any one have problems with this simple mount system?
Stick mounts ... two types .... one has four screws to fix motor in place - (full face mount) and other has a ring with grubscrew to lock motor in place (pole mount). Both work fine.
I assume that OP refers to the single screw that fixes the square tube to the 'beam' ? Because it's in sheer and not under inline stress - it's fine. Usually the beam is a relative tight fit to the mount tube ...
As to epoxy ? I never bother - even with the pole mount ... never had any turn or loose. If concerned for the pole mount type - friend of mine uses a drill to put a small shallow dimple into the metal so the grubscrew locks into it.
Well fitted - a beam mount is a good system, allowing easy adjustment of motor to match cowl depth etc.
I used a bigger longer screw on the mount of my p47, goes through the other end of the mount. I initially used the stock tiny screw, but when I secured the hole with ca, the screw would snap while trying to get it in. The bigger screw holds well.
I do not CA it in or use larger unless absolutely necessary .. CA creates a stress point as it hardens wood and has a sheer face to it. Second a larger screw creates a weak point in the beam.
All the screw has to do is stop the mount sliding ... nothing else. The mount tube should be a tight wriggle fit to the beam .. if it's a loose sliding fit - then IMHO should be replaced. I have never had a beam mount come away because of the small screw.
I make my own beams from 10mm sheet stock from hardware store .. I set my table saw to 10mm cut and can cut as many as I like in wood of choice .. as long or short as required.
I was initially worried about that with a larger screw, but the spruce can handle it. The screw isn't a great deal larger. I was actually forced to do so, as the stock screw broke off into the stick. As for CA, I read that CA was good to use in this area to stop the screw from loosening...wasn't a good idea in my case.
mmmm It's what I call the CA illness.
CA seems to be the universal answer to things .. but in fact if you look at the history and origins of it .. is not really the case.
The properties of normal CA are thin, instant bond when tight close jointed, with a hard stressed face to the bond.
If you take two pieces of wood .. make them thin so you can break in hands. Let's say 1/8 sq balsa or pine. Overlap ends and CA them together .. allow a little to soak out into the wood past the joint area. Now take other ends and snap the item. Where does it break ? Usually unless wood is faulty - at the end of the soaked in CA. It's what we call a Sheer Point.
If the wood is subject compression - it acts like a brick and is hard .. resists immense pressure / compression, but any surrounding material not soaked becomes the weak point.
OK ---- sorry for the lecture - I don't mean it to be so .. Just explaining my reasons for disliking CA as the universal answer.
With screws and yes I do it with cowling screws into ply edge firewalls etc. - I run screw into a suitably drilled hole. This cuts a reasonable thread. I remove the screw .. put small and I mean small drop of CA in so it soaks into the hole ... leave it for a minute or so to ensure it has soaked in and set. Then return the screw and tighten - but not too tight, so as to hold but not break the threads.
With the beam mount screw - it is NOT intended as a fixing structural holding screw .. it is purely a way of preventing the mount from pulling of the beam. You can in fact if beam and mount are properly matched use a pin instead ! We don't of course because we are not precision engineers, it's wood and we need to be sure the screw does it's job.
My view anyway ...
Carpetbagger: I concur with Chellie, a little epoxy drops will do a lot to keep not so much your motor from flying off the plane, but rather pointed in the proper direction. On my scratch built mini stick I've used and crashed many many times the little stick mount motor. Since the mount was metric and the stick was fractional inch, the thing would always fit loose. I would shim it up with a bit of this or that scrap and sand to get a proper thrust angle and then add a few drops of 5 min. epoxy to keep it pointed there.
My major concern with these mounts evolved to be adding a few drops of epoxy to the motor wires where they exited the windings so they would not break off on impact. They're very hard to fix and the motor performance is degraded, but they can be fixed. So, get the wires dressed nicely and near the mount and stick them together so the stick is the weaker link. It is very easily fixed. Oh, and I've never had much trouble getting the motor off the stick when required even when epoxied together.:rolleyes:
Thank all y'all (all y'all proper South Speak when addressing 3 or more folks). CA is out, and sorry Chellie, I doubt I will epoxy the motor to the stick mount gizmo. Cranked down set screws w/Locktite work for me. I learned about Locktite on my newb test run #2 when the itty bitty 250 motor leapt off the mount, reached the end of it's chain (wires) spun around and gave a few shallow prop slices. Dang, I think waw one of the few model I had built without blood markings.
Yes, Mivins, 3/8" is a shade under 10mm, but no problem. I have a nice table saw and a selection of wood: mahogany, white ash, cypress, and western red cedar. I think I'll go with cypress or cedar = lighter, and the stick will be saturated with WEST resin, but I won;t epoxy the mount on. Idea is easy to remove = one screw so I'll go with one screw and tight fit.
My builds aren't "stick" so I'll use a short 10mm stick glued through a hole in the regular ply firewall. Thenh I can adjust position to match cowl easy without padding the firewall mount out with chunks of ply.
Don't all y'all hold your breath for an update. The Base Commander (AKA wife) has me busting hump to get our house ready for the house market. *crack* goes the whip . . .

This is what happens when you go all night with no sleep,find out someone special is dying. You hit a glass door with your flat hand and break through it. This scar is a smidgen under 3 inches long. I got 45 stitches in it. As you can see it is not flat. I have had this scar since around November 2004. I am posting this picture to track my progress as I try scar therapy. It burns,is very tender and itches a lot. I am currently massaging it with grapeseed oil,arnica and a scar cream.

Hemp Oil Versus Gasoline
This morning started with an interesting discussion about replacing all energy consumption with hemp oil. What this has to do with IT, manga or anime I don't know but there it is. The debate got heated (we failed to follow the rules) and eventually the other fellow walked away in a huff. He said, in essence, that hemp oil could essentially fix all our energy problems. I disagreed saying hemp oil couldn't resolve even one energy problem. Later he came and apologized for his overreaction and I've since sent him an email with most of what appears below to give him some insight. I thought it worth sharing.
With best estimates, hemp can produce about 100 gallons per acre.
Using outdated information from 2004, America consumes about 140,000,000,000 gallons of gas per year.
Hemp can be harvested every 120 days, which gives about 3 harvests a year in an idealized world (which we do not have).
140,000,000,000/100 = 1,400,000,000 acres required from a single hemp harvest to equal gasoline consumption. However, let's go with the hypothetical three harvests a year:
1,400,000,000/3 = 466,666,666 acres needed if we can get three harvests a year.
466,666,666 acres = 729,166 square miles. America is 3,537,441 square miles, which seems like a lot. However, of that land only 635,038 square miles are usable (based on 406,424,909 acres of cropland).
635,038 is less than 729,166, so not only could we not grow enough hemp, but we wouldn't be able to produce any crops and we would starve. Incidentally, hemp will not grow in some environments so usable acreage is actually smaller. Even more damning is the fact that gasoline is already processed for consumption; hemp oil would need to be processed as well, which would reduce the volume actually produced. There is also hemp's lesser fuel efficiency to factor into the equation. Clearly hemp oil cannot replace gaoline on any sort of equal footing.
All of this only addresses automobiles gasoline consumption; it doesn't touch upon electrical or natural gas consumption.
The problem with the whole argument isn't necessarily that my coworker was wrong. It's that he listens to and blindly agrees with pundits that say things like, "Hemp oil can replace gasoline!" The best thing for the world would be to stop believing people on the radio, television and in books who talk like they know what they are saying but possibly don't. Look up the facts for yourself. Use a critical mind even -and maybe especially- with people you agree. Don't get sucked into the belief, so prevalent today, that one way is absolutely correct and everything else is wrong. Remember wise Yoda: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
In this case The Suffering is our world and so many people on it. Our inability to find fact-based solutions to problems because so many people are blinded by ideas and beliefs has, and will continue to, give rise to too many evils.1 Comment | Catergorized: grrr science technology thoughts
Advice to Writers
Excellent advice for writers from Nobel winner VS Naipul.
VS Naipaul's Rules for Beginners
1. Do not write long sentences. A sentence should not have more than ten or twelve words.
2. Each sentence should make a clear statement. It should add to the statement that went before. A good paragraph is a series of clear, linked statements.
3. Do not use big words. If your computer tells you that your average word is more than five letters long, there is something wrong. The use of small words compels you to think about what you are writing. Even difficult ideas can be broken down into small words.
4. Never use words whose meaning you are not sure of. If you break this rule you should look for other work.
5. The beginner should avoid using adjectives, except those of colour, size and number. Use as few adverbs as possible.
6. Avoid the abstract. Always go for the concrete.
7. Every day, for six months at least, practice writing in this way. Small words; short, clear, concrete sentences. It may be awkward, but it's training you in the use of language. It may even be getting rid of the bad language habits you picked up at the university. You may go beyond these rules after you have thoroughly understood and mastered them.
I should print this out for the members of my writers group. I like that the list is simple and direct.2 Comments | Catergorized: writing

A Little Announcement
It's Saint Jordi's Day so maybe it's time for a little announcement…
Rosa and I are going to be parents.
We're expecting a little girl with a due date of September 11th. Although only 3-5% of babies are born on their due date we are excited about this particular day for two reasons. First, we can start taking back the day for America and second, it's the national day of Catalonia which is where Rosa is from.
So… I'm going to be a father. How's that for a "little" announcement!3 Comments | Catergorized: family kids life
Fixing California
I have little to argue with this article on the late, great California legislature. It points out three creeping, insidious and long term failures affecting the California legislature that inhibit and stymy the performance of its duties.
1: Term limits kill any experience from accumulating in our representatives. Essentially term limits as they stand now are a knowledge drain, and the result is sewage.
2: Proposition 13 needs, at a minimum, to be reformed. Not only does it keep housing taxes at a fixed rate more-or-less in perpetuity, but it requires any new taxes of any kind to require a 2/3 vote in the legislature. I'm not saying new taxes are always a solution, but let the legislature hang itself with the taxes when we vote them out when they screw up.
3: The article's advocation of eliminating individual campaign contributions is the one item I have an issue with. I think this is a field that could be reformed or, better, completely revamped. I propose that to run for a legislative seat you should a certain number of signed petitions (say 100,000). Once underway, anyone can contribute to that election. The candidates all pull equally from that pool. Individuals, corporations and special interests can all contribute to the pool without limits. This way the candidates have equal footing so long as they can make the ticket.
The final piece I think is missing from the article is a reform of California's referendum system. The referendum system is clearly broken with almost every single one requiring government spending (often mandatory) with no inclusions of where the money will come from. In some few cases it is used to limit the rights of others, and in other cases to cover for a cowardly legislature.
Now that I think about it, maybe what California really needs is a complete reboot. A new constitution, a clean wipe of all debts and existing laws. Let's just make sure to get it right this time.Comments Off on Fixing California | Catergorized: political thoughts
American Aristocracy
When we were taking the train to Sevilla for our honeymoon, Rosa had picked up a copy of ¡Hola!, one of the numerous Spanish gossip magazines, to pass the time. Like the junk we have here in the States it covered "the important" people, but one of the main differences I saw was that many pages were devoted to the comings, goings and doings of the Spanish aristocracy. Spain, like England, is a constitutional monarchy (kind of like the many other European countries at the link).
It struck me that there was so much coverage, and gossip, of royalty, a class I personally consider dated and extinct. It's something we in America hear about but rarely experience directly except our multitude of celebrities and their often disasterous lives. In a sense, from the perspective of the scream sheets, celebrity is the American aristocracy. I had told this to Rosa, even, but lately I'm thinking I am wrong.
America did away with European nobility on our shores and replaced it with something new and publicly secret: the rich, or as most of them should be called, the overclass.
Take any of the old rich (Rockefellers, Du Ponts, Venderbilts, Astors, Hearsts, etc) and you'll see they are still wealthy. Take any of the newer rich (Koshs, Hiltons, Bushes, Waltons, etc) and you'll see they are blatantly passing wealth and power to their children, too. They have manipulated the system so that their wealth stays inside their families so that within a generation you have people who have known nothing but excessive money and have only grown more of it because the system as it exists now allows them. This sounds stikingly like noble families, who have also known nothing but their power and influence.
Take, for instance, the debate around inheritence taxes, which conservatives call a "death" tax. Statistically 91% of Americans inherit nothing (except, often, debt). Those that do inherit are already in the top 10% of wealth (which, generally speaking, are millionaires or better). While technically not a "noble" class with titles and "royal" blood, they are an effective oligarchy with the richest 400 families controlling $1.27 trillion, little of which "trickles down" to the rest of the nation. When power and wealth remains concentrated in the few and is handed down generation to generation within the family, then we no longer have anything akin to democracy in a republic; we have a plutarchy.
We do have our own form of aristocracy here in America. The gap between the rich and the rest of us is only increasing. When will we get back to our roots and have a revolution?
Unfortunately, not until we all realize the idea that any one of us could also join that upper class is as likely as any one of us being struck by lightning (~1/750,000) the exact same moment we learn we won the grand lottery (~1/120,000,000): statistically impossible.Comments Off on American Aristocracy | Catergorized: grrr political thoughts
Adèle Blanc-Sec
Last night Rosa and I watched The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (warning: somewhat annoying Flash w/ audio), a film by Luc Besson based on the comic books by Jacques Tardi. I've been reading the English adaption of the comics from Fantagraphics to Rosa complete with bad French accents.
While not an "extraordinary" film, we enjoyed it greatly. Louise Bourgoin, as the titular character, is convincing, strong, independent and humorous. It was interesting to see how the comic was adapted; the pterodactyl story is mixed and modified with mummies and Adèle's quest to save her sister from a fate worse than death. The motivation to save her sister is one welcome addition to the movie that the comics lack. In the comics we don't see much motivation or reason for Adèle having her adventures in the first place, other than to write and illustrate a story. This could change the further along Rosa and I get with the stories, but so far the character of Adèle has been rather like her namesake: dry ("sec" in French).
I feel the movie adaption could have better chosen the plot elements it included (there is a LOT going on), and the editing could have been better (especially at the end, which was a bit long). My biggest criticism, though, was Adèle topless and having a bath. As a straight man of consenting age I didn't have a problem with the scene myself. However, the movie lends itself to giving young teenage women a strong female role model but most American parents would probably freak out because of the nudity. I'm not asking Mr. Besson to compromise his art, but the scene didn't really add anything to the movie itself that couldn't have been shot differently.
Still the movie was fun, entertaining and worth watching. We watched in the original French with English subtitles; someday we'll watch the English dub, but I'm not a huge fan of dubbing except in animation. Two thumbs up!2 Comments | Catergorized: manga movies
Comment on Old Pages, Not Old Posts?
Does any WordPress guru out there know how to close comments on old posts, but exclude old pages? I would like old post comments to be closed automatically but leave old page comments open. By default the current WordPress (3.1.1) seems to treat both types as "articles" in the Admin > Settings > Discussion section where you can set a date for comment expiration. I've done searches on this and have started in on finding a plugin but so far: nothing.

Ever since I upgraded the theme for the site I've lost the various photo galleries that I had online. I've started putting them back and you can find pictures from our wedding in Spain in the "errata" menu above.
I'm thinking I will start with those and ignore all of the previous galleries I used to have. Unless there's one that someone misses? Maybe I'll do a "retrospective" of older pictures. That should be entertaining…Comments Off on Galleries Coming Back Online | Catergorized: photos site

Prescott, AZ ( TheStreet) -- Even before the U.S. stock market made its probable bottom in March 2009 many pundits have been trying to figure out the low point in financial stocks.News for the group continues to be bad, with the recent trading loss at J.P. Morgan Chase ( JPM) being the latest. Things appear to be even worse for European financial stocks. This creates a problem for investors who prefer to use broad-based ETFs that track indexes like the Standard & Poor's 500 or the MSCI EAFE Index. Fund provider WisdomTree was early to recognize this dilemma by offering the WisdomTree Dividend ex-Financials Fund ( DTN), which is a domestic fund, and the WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials Fund ( DOO). In looking under the hood at DTN the dividend weighting methodology nets a reasonably even distribution at the sector level so an implosion in one sector, like technology 12 years ago or financials four years ago, would not necessarily cause DTN to melt down. The largest sector is utilities at 14%, staples at 13% and materials, industrials and telecom all near 11%. Energy is the smallest sector at 8%. Excluding financials has led to clear outperformance by DTN thus far over the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY), which is the exchange-traded proxy for the S&P 500. In the last two years the domestic fund is up 24% versus a 19% gain for SPY. The sector dispersion is a little wider with the international fund, which allocates 17% to telecom and 12% each to utilities, healthcare and staples. The smallest sector is tech at 6%. As this is a foreign fund and Europe is the center of attention it is also important to look at the country weightings and understand that exposure. DOO's largest country weight is the UK at 22% followed by Australia at 17%. France is the third-largest country in the fund at 10%. The weighting of the eurozone totals just under 38%, which does not compare favorably to the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund ( EFA), which is closer to 24%. The Wisdom Tree international fund does fare better for investors looking to underweight Japan. DOO allocates 9.75% to Japan versus 21.4% for EFA. Looking back over the last two years the sector weighting has not helped DOO versus EFA as it is down 1% versus a gain of 5% for EFA.

Kelly Slater & Joel Parkinson. Photo: ASP/Carey
Kelly Slater vs. Joel Parkinson in the final of the Quiksilver Pro was an almost classic. This past year's champion, Joel, battled this past past year's champion (and past past years stretching back into the mists), Kelly, in what was alternately described as "warbley" and "throaty." There were barrels and high scores and higher scores. With three minutes remaining, Joel needed a near perfect ten to overtake Kelly and then he caught a near perfect wave. He stood tall in the barrel and eyed down the line and eyed Kelly Slater paddling right in on him. Kelly had priority, you see, so he could do as he wished. Joel, still standing in the barrel, raised his middle finger in response. He, in fact, raised both middle fingers but one hovered around his crotch.
And what is to be made of this moment? Is Kelly a jerk for paddling? Is Joel a jerk for flipping? I will suggest that both did almost exactly as they were supposed to do. Kelly clearly and deeply loves competition. He used the rulebook to trump surfing etiquette and slam the door on his rival at his rival's home break. Joel, normally calm and cool, allowed the heat of the moment to overtake him, which is such a pleasure in the standard, false "Ahhh-good-on-him-he-got-the-better-waves-today" modesty. Hate boiled. There was no Cheshire Cat grin.
The only thing missing was a NASCAR-style full out brawl on the beach afterward. Joel and Luke Egan (his coach) vs. Kelly and Belly (his caddy). Four grown men bloodying each other's faces and reputations. That would have removed the almost from the equation. That would have made it the greatest moment in surfing history.
