A Philadelphia city councilman offered a Milwaukee alderman a baseball wager. The stakes were local food, so the Philly guy put up hoagies and Tastykakes.* The councilman's press release described the latter as "baked snacks similar to Hostess products".
They are, and how pathetic is it that the Philly food is derivative - Philadelphia as a lesser Twinkie. And oh, they are MUCH lesser. Philadelphia-style soft pretzels would've been better, as would cheesesteaks. Because cheesesteaks are, well, yum.
Although Tastykakes are a terrible example of Philadelphia food, Philadelphia food in general is quite good - the restaurant scene here is great.
*I really, really, really hate that spelling, because those proximate k's look like a certain slur.

Philadelphia Pride: Tastykakes

It's because you don't have fond childhood memories of tatsykakes the way you do about hostess. But if you'd grown up in the mid-Atlantic, tastykake would be your norm. They're still gross to an adult palate, but I think you would find the same to be true of hostess if you were to attempt to eat a package of their baked goods now.
- factory123 said...
Yes, particularly because we're talking about comfort food stuff, it's largely based on what you're accustomed to. BUT....
I had a chocolate tastykake recently and found it to be distinctly lacking in chocolate flavor. That plus the lack of a Twinkie equivalent that's good is a real killer in my book.
Twinkies are really something special.

A move to generate relief for the state budget has triggered a suspension of the requirement that local governments post meeting agendas and disclose decisions made behind closed doors.
However, cities, water districts and county governments in San Diego and Riverside counties say they intend to continue notifying the public of issues that go before local governing boards.
Such reporting has been required since 1986 by the Ralph M. Brown Act , the state's open meetings law.
But because of a state constitutional amendment adopted in the wake of passage of tax-slashing Proposition 13, Sacramento must reimburse local governments for their expenses and avoid creating what is commonly called an "unfunded mandate." Late last month the governor and lawmakers decided not to budget for those reimbursements.
According to a legislative analyst's office report , the move will save the state about $23 million a year.
By comparison, Sacramento has a $92 billion general fund budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.
"We think that it's an unfortunate maneuver by the state," said Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley. "They found a number of ways to avoid paying unfunded mandates. But we believe in encouraging public participation in our meetings."
San Diego County officials also vow to continue their current practice without reimbursement.
"We have no intentions of changing anything with regards to meetings, notifications, postings, any of that ---- anything that falls under the Brown Act," said Michael Workman, a spokesman for the county.
"(The money) is not why we do it," Workman said. "We do it because it's the right thing to do."
Besides, he said, San Diego County has yet to be reimbursed one penny for the approximately $400,000 in expenses incurred assembling and posting agendas the last six years.
Similarly, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District , which serves communities along Interstate 15 in Riverside County, has yet to hear back from the state on applications totaling $57,000 in recent years, said Greg Morrison, a district spokesman.
"I've got news for you: It's been an unfunded mandate for us for about the last five years," Morrison said.
San Marcos City Manager Jack Griffin said his city stopped asking for reimbursements in the early 2000s.
"That's news to me that they were supposed to be paying us for that," said San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond. He added that his city plans no changes.
A prominent open meetings advocate isn't surprised by officials' assurances.
"You have many, many jurisdictions ---- if not most ---- assuring the local communities that they are not going to change their practices, that they are not going to stop posting agendas," said Terry Francke, cofounder and general counsel for Californians Aware in Sacramento, in a telephone interview Wednesday. "They would never do that."
But Francke said that's not the issue.
"The issue is whether the agendas contain the kind of meaningful descriptions that are required under the Brown Act, or whether they go back to vague labeling, particularly for controversial topics," he said.
Now there will be no legal recourse when that is done, he said.
"It makes it hard to keep up with things that the government may not want you to notice," Francke said.
The law requires government bodies to post agendas 72 hours before meetings and provide general descriptions of approximately 20 words about each agenda item.
The Brown Act also mandates that agencies list each item to be considered in closed session. Francke said they may not generically say they are going to meet to discuss personnel matters or litigation.
"They could fall back to that right now and there's not much legally that could be done about it," he said.
Still, Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster said there are plenty of other reasons for continuing to be transparent, including that the public, press and local grand jury are watching.
"One of worst things you can do ... is to look like you're trying to sneak something by them," Buster said.
Spokesman Ray Smith said Riverside County was reimbursed $26,088 for posting notices of Board of Supervisors meetings in fiscal year 2010-11.
Vista Assistant City Manager Aly Zimmerman said it doesn't matter to her city whether the law is enforceable.
"That's because we think the public has a right to know and participate when they can," Zimmerman said.
Vista was recently singled out by the state.
The legislative analyst's report cites three examples of reimbursement claims from local governments ---- from Vista, Santa Barbara County and a water district. According to the report, Vista claimed it was owed $20,174 for 109 meetings in fiscal year 2005-06.
The report says the city typically charged 30 minutes of staff time, at an hourly rate of $46.17, for preparation of each agenda item.
For a Dec. 13, 2005, Vista City Council meeting alone, Vista billed the state $808, the report stated.
"My guess is that the reason the LAO included these three jurisdictions is that they provide pretty good examples of estimated labor costs which are stretching the envelope," Francke said.
Zimmerman said she could not comment on the report.
Despite the suspension of Brown Act provisions that relate to reimbursement, most of the law remains in full force.
And local school boards must continue posting agendas because there is a separate requirement for that in California's Education Code .
However, Francke said he is still concerned about how some school districts may respond. He said the education law does not require detailed descriptions of agenda items or reporting of closed-session decisions.
The suspension aside, Francke said he is most concerned about something else: The apparent fate of legislation introduced last year by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco.
That bill would put on a ballot the basic provisions in the Brown Act and ask voters to approve them. Franke said that bill has been sitting bottled up in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
"If that bill were to go on the ballot, it would be approved by the voters by a very large margin. And you would never have a situation where the budget affects the Brown Act again," he said.
He said that's because laws passed by voters always apply whether or not the Legislature appropriates money for that purpose. The reimbursement law only applies to mandates from the Legislature and not to constitutional amendments passed by voters.

A tiny but committed group of Del Mar residents is organizing against massive Interstate 5 expansion plans, saying the blueprints will create, not erase, Los Angeles-like gridlock along the San Diego County coastal freeway.
The group, Prevent Los Angeles Gridlock Usurping the Environment, or PLAGUE, consists of just five people: two attorneys, a real estate broker, an ophthalmologist and a retired military veteran.
Its goal, however, is as soaring as the cliffs at nearby Torrey Pines State Beach: to stop the expansion of I-5 from eight lanes to as many as 14 from La Jolla to Oceanside.
An environmental report should be released in January or February on the 27-mile, multibillion-dollar project, which has been in the planning stages for more than a decade and will require the acquisition of dozens of properties along the interstate.
Noel Spaid, a Del Mar attorney and PLAGUE's chair, said her group is well aware of I-5's congestion. The solution, however, should be a more robust rail system, she said.
"We don't feel that adding (freeway) lanes works," Spaid said. "Look at Los Angeles where they've done nothing but build lanes and highway upon highway, and they've got seven hours of (combined rush hour) congestion each day."
Transportation officials say the expansion ---- which would include four carpool lanes ---- is necessary because the freeway's traffic has grown enormously.
Forecasts show it will only get more jammed. The rush-hour drive from Oceanside to La Jolla takes about 45 minutes on weekdays; it could spike to 90 minutes if no improvements are made, officials say.
Near the Del Mar Heights Road interchange, about 261,000 cars travel I-5 each day. About 430,000 are expected on that stretch by 2030 due to population and job growth, according to January data from the San Diego Association of Governments, which plans and helps finance the region's major roadway projects.
"It's the region's lifeline," said Richard Chavez, a principle transportation engineer for SANDAG. "It's our main connection to Los Angeles and to Mexico."
The project will cost between $3 billion and $4 billion depending on how many lanes are added, said Allan Kosup, the San Diego I-5 corridor director for the California Department of Transportation. The state agency is considering expansion to either 12 lanes or 14 lanes, he said.
Caltrans estimates between 30 and 50 homes and businesses will need to be acquired and relocated, particularly along the northern stretch of I-5, in Carlsbad and Oceanside, Kosup said. Up to 500 more may lose a sliver of their property, to make way for the construction of sound walls and the new lanes, but will not need to be moved, he said. The environmental report will include detailed property acquisition plans.
Caltrans expects to build the project in phases over perhaps 15 years, Kosup said. TransNet, the region's half-cent sales tax, should provide about half the funding while state and federal funds will be sought to pay the remainder, he said.
About $30 million already has been spent on the environmental studies. And officials have secured $32 million for design work to extend one carpool lane on northbound and southbound I-5 from Encinitas to Carlsbad. But the project does not have construction funds, Kosup said, noting Caltrans did not want to tie up money for a project that is still a couple of years from potentially starting.
The project must overcome numerous environmental hurdles before it can be built, officials said. One of the biggest will be a permit from the California Coastal Commission, since the interstate is built over or near seven lagoons, they said.
PLAGUE has called on other coastal communities to oppose the I-5 expansion, Spaid said, gaining some support in places such as Solana Beach and Encinitas. Caltrans has held community meetings about the widening as far back as 2001.
Spaid said her group plans a Del Mar town hall meeting close to the release of the environmental impact report. Several of PLAGUE's members, including Spaid, also are members of the Torrey Pines Community Planning Group. She said PLAGUE is operating independently of that board.
The group also opposes a planned "flyover" connection, or raised onramp, from Highway 56 to I-5, saying the noise from cars on that connector would damage the quality of life for many communities near that junction. An environmental report for that project is expected to be complete in mid-2010, officials said.
"My prediction is there will be a lot of people who step forward and say we've already screwed up our environment enough. We need to find new ... alternative ways to dealing with transportation ---- and that has to be rail," said Charles Richmond, a member of PLAGUE and the Torrey Pines board. He is a real estate attorney who lives in Del Mar.
PLAGUE is raising money to hire experts to evaluate and oppose the project's environmental impact report, Spaid said. It's raised $17,000 of the roughly $70,000 it will need, she said.
The report evaluates the project's potential impact on traffic, air pollution, the lagoons, wildlife and many other topics.
PLAGUE believes that a more robust rail system is the only way out of added gridlock, Spaid and Richmond said.
The two cited state mandates to cut greenhouse gas emissions as an added reason for mass transit.
The region in October lost a chance to double-track its coastal railway when the state scrapped SANDAG's request that the project be included on a state application for the most recent round of federal stimulus dollars. State officials instead decided to apply only for funds for the planned 800-mile-long bullet train project.
Still, Kosup said, design work is under way on seven sections of the coastal railway, which will make it more competitive the next time the region seeks construction money for it.

Cyonara 9.7
Buy Now
Bryson from Forbes Nd writes,
How does Cyonara 9.7 work on mosquitos? How does it compare to excite R? Can it be used with Talstar?
Cyonara 9.7 would be most comparable to Talstar P for mosquito control, we would normally recommend Talstar P the most because it's known to be more gentle on plants. It is not recommended for you to mix two insecticides together such as Cyonara 9.7 and Talstar P. ExciteR, on the other hand, doesn't give a long residual and it can be mixed with Talstar P. ExciteR will give you a fast knockdown and Talstar will offer the long residual. Mosquitoes must land on the treated areas to be killed so be sure you are spraying the areas where they are known to land such as the underside of the leaves on trees and shrubs. It is also helpful to spray a 2 ft wide band around the perimeter of your property, including door frames and window frames, to deter low flying mosquitoes from entering.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Phoenix Wildlife Center Inc, Phoenix, MD, USA
Late friday night, my girlfriend and I saw an opossum standing in the middle of the road. From the blood on it and the ground it was obvious that it had been hit by a car. We turned around and tried to wave cars around while we tried to figure out what to do. not all the drivers saw us trying to wave them over and the opossum got hit at least two more times. We called our local animal control and their after hours message directed us to call 911 for injured wild animals. The officer who came helped us move the opossum to the bushes on the side of the road 'to let nature take its course.' We were all sure the 'possum was on its last legs. When we checked back in the morning it was still there and still alive and breathing. We had to do something. We called a few local rescue groups and were directed to call the Phoenix Wildlife Center by one of their answering machines. We called and kathy picked up and told us how to get it safely and bring it right over to get checked out. When we got there she not only took the opossum in, she let us see the first part of the treatment of his wounds. We also learned that our fears of rabies should have been much lower and were educated on the finer points of opossum handling. We are looking forward to finding out the 'possum's outcomes in a few days and were quite amazed at Kathy's knowledge of wild animal trauma care. If we'd known what we have learned last night, that poor little opossum would'nt have gotten hit even once more and we could've had him bustled off to the phoenix center first thing.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and grateful that we were willing to help by bringing them an injured wild animal.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
grow into a state wide network of dedicated employees, volunteers and community members all working together to keep our native wildlife from being so badly impacted by the encroachment of people.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

Meshing airfoil
Hi,Dear All
I am using FLUENT5 to simulate the unsteady flow of 2D airfoil & 3DWing,but I meet a problem when I model 2D airfoil mesh, I don't know how to control the mesh density near the wall by using structure mesh(quad Map method). Is it possible for Gambit to model structure mesh? and How? I don't know why I could not transfer boundary layer generated by Gambit to Fluent 5? Is there any technique?
Thank you in advance! If it is possilbe, Please give me a copy via email when you responce. Thanks
Re: Meshing airfoil
hi! if i'm not mistaken, fluent 5 only accepts unstructured mesh, but then, check again.
Re: Meshing airfoil
Thanks for your response, Gambit can creat a mapped mesh. and it can be transfered to Fluent5. But I don't know how to generate a suitable mesh around airfoil, especially near the wall. I have tried to divide the computational domain into three blocks, and then mesh them resepectively with quad map method.The edges except airfoil wall and far wall were set as interior boundary condition ,However, when I use this mesh in Fluent5 to solve (Mach=0.6/AOA=0) a problem, I could not get a resonable result(Vmax exceed 400m/s), was wrong with me?
Thanks Wason
Re: Meshing airfoil
I think that you can create boundary layers attached to the aerofoil wall and extending to a suitable distance. This will take care of the mesh density near the wall.
- Balaji
Re: Meshing airfoil
Thank you for your response, Yes, I have tried to create boundary layers attached to the aerofoil wall and extending to a suitable distance. But I don't know why I couldn't transfer the boundary layer mesh from Gambit(Version1.1) to Fluent,It only leaves the normality mesh. Could you tell me the process of meshing a airfoil with boundary layer?
Thanks a lot!
Re: Meshing airfoil
I believe that the important things to keep in mind are the direction of your boundary layer, the depth, and the growth factor. The direction and depth you will know from working with the problem and having a feel for the grid resolution necessary to capture the boundary layer. The growth factor should not exceed 15%... like something between 1.01 and 1.15. You probably already know this, but you must mesh the boundary layer first before the rest of the mesh.
hi all
thanks for your attention
I wanna to create a structured grid around an slotte flp section with the limitation of 10000elements and the angle of flap of45 degrees. so I wanna know what's your idea?(also I work with Gambit)
My initial idea is to connect to parts together then mesh around like an airfoil then mesh inside .....no idea again generated till know!(I'm sleeepy!):confused:

Linkin Park Rock New York's Grand Central Terminal, React to Teens' Critiques
As Linkin Park near the release of their One More Light album, the band have been popping up more frequently and two recent appearances warrant attention. First, in the video above, you can see a bit of the band's performance at New York's Grand Central Terminal playing an impromptu performance for ABC's Good Morning America, while in the video below, Mike Shinoda gets at look at the recent FBE video that showed Linkin Park's music to teens and got their reaction.
In the Good Morning America video, the cameras take viewers into a little bit of the set up as the band delivered a scaled back set amidst the hustle and bustle of New York's Grand Central Terminal. An official video report shown above catches some of the fans taking notice of the set-up and getting excited over the fact that they stumbled upon to the show. Eventually, the group perform songs such as the current hit single "Heavy," along with scaled back versions of "What I've Done" and "In the End" with a healthy sing-along from the crowd. Further footage from the performance is expected to turn up on tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Meanwhile, in the video below, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda appears to be taking the teen reactions to his band's music in stride and having a good time with it. "I love that the first three people are convinced that they don't know who it is," says Shinoda.
The co-vocalist also gets a few laughs looking back at the videos the kids are watching, with Shinoda taking a shot at the band's look in the "One Step Closer" video. "Chester's hair in this video is so insane. My hair is way worse," he laughs.
The video also hits hard on the evolution of the band over time, with some of the teens calling them out over the change in sound and others supporting them. When one girl calls the band out for trend-hopping with their new music, Shinoda responds, "The do what's trendy line is so funny because we make … our albums take like 12 to 18 months to make. Either we've come up before the trend and we anticipated it or we made something that was cool 18 months ago." He also applauds one of the teens who calls out those who want Linkin Park to stay in a box of a certain sound, and applauds when the kid comments, "That's not how music works." Watch the FBE video below.
Linkin Park's One More Light album arrives in stores tomorrow (May 19).

If you are looking to purchase a Reverse Osmosis filter system for the first time or even looking for a replacement for an old system, the choice that first faces you can be a little daunting. First of all, you are faced with a vast array of abbreviations, what do they all mean and which of them are important and which are not. Then the size of systems that are available; why would anyone want 75 gallons of filtered drinking water a day?
What we have done with our review of the best Reverse Osmosis systems is to explain in lay terms what is what with regard to each system. Many manufacturers will extol certain virtues with their system without exactly explaining what it means.
Even though we are confident in recommending all the systems that we have included in our RO systems reviews, that does not mean that we have just highlighted what is good about them, if there are any areas that could be improved, we have included theses negative points as well.
The final result, is that you can be confident that when you select any of the systems that we have included, you will be getting a high quality, efficient Reverse Osmosis filter system.
f you have any further queries pleasedo not hesitate to contact us!

Did you know the history of your sweet little Burmese kitten started with a single cat? Your sleek brown bundle of fur can thank a cat named Wong Mau for his exotic good looks.
In 1930, Wong Mau arrived in New Orleans on a ship from the Orient. She made her way to San Francisco, where she was given to Dr. Joseph G. Thompson. He was so smitten with her walnut-brown color and dainty, compact body that he enlisted the help of experienced breeders to reproduce her beauty.
Working with strict scientific guidelines, the breeding program produced kittens with three distinct colors: some had points like Siamese cats, another group looked like Wong Mau with medium brown color and darker brown points and a third group were a deep, solid brown. The solid cats were considered the most attractive, and the breeders decided to work toward establishing the brown cats.
After being accepted by the Cat Fanciers Association in 1936, the breed gained popularity, and other stories and legends about the breed began to surface. Solid brown cats have been sighted on the Malay Peninsula, and legend has it that they were loved and cherished by Burmese kings. Today the breed captivates cat lovers all over the world.

"Participating in God's mission by reintegrating faith, life and vocations."
Reintegrate is a nonprofit organization that equips God's people to reintegrate the Christian faith with every aspect of life and all their vocations (callings) so that they can participate in God's mission on earth. We help college students, church leaders (pastors, elders, etc.), congregations, institutions, and professionals by providing consulting, teaching, and various learning resources.
What We Do
what (re)integrate does for churches, institutions, small groups, professionals, and college students
(re)integrate's ministry will tangibly manifest itself by…
- discipling and equipping college students to live out their faith in every area of their lives, especially in the future vocations,
- providing the church the very best resources, consulting and seminars on how Christian faith informs vocation and glorifies God by shaping culture,
- equip and network Christians and help the churches that serve them so that God's will is done through their human vocations,
- see the fruit of believers better hearing their callings and participating with God in his mission of restoration through their vocations.
In order to accomplish these, we will always…
- develop and maintain strong partnerships with other like-minded faith-at-work restoration organizations,
- achieve sustainable annual funding,
- remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit to serve in any way that God calls us.
Core Values
- The Gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed by Jesus Christ guides all that we do and say.
- The mission of God in the world is the redemption of human beings and the restoration of his creation.
- Vocation is integral, not incidental, to the mission of God in the world.
- The people of God participate in the mission of God by purposefully living integrated lives.
- Lasting and deep transformation only occurs when organizations and institutions collaborate.
- The Bible is our ultimate guide because it reveals to us who God is, who we are, and what God calls us to do.

I will use this as a worthwhile reason to get fit and want to do this for a good cause. Testicular cancer affects young men and is the most common form of cancer in men aged 15-44 and prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. I am determined to make this happen and hopefully will raise a lot of money for Everyman in the process.

text: Hi, guys, this week on Thursday I have to do a short 5-10 minute presentation in front of the class and my topic is the topic title. I have been brainstorming for the most part, however, would anybody by chance have resources which provide somewhat informative details on the subject, or have ideas to assist? Google hasn't had very helpful results for me, so far my information is the result of brainstorming. A couple of my ideas currently include larger interactive objects (making it easier to tap what you want) and on-screen keyboards due to the touch feature. This isn't really worth too much, but I still need to do this presentation, so anything you may have in your mind (or effective resources) would really help.

My Spark is Yours - Prologue
Ratchet sighed as he looked at the bright blue sky, a few clouds splattered here and there but making the alien sky look very interesting to look at. It was Spring time and outside Autobot base the organic ground was filled with colour as plants had bloomed into flowers with small mammals running around. The planet Earth was beautiful, it made Cybertron look like a scrap pile compared to this beauty. All the Autobots were spell bound by the beauty of the planet, Beachcomber in particular.
The medic sighed as he took a few steps around the coloured plants, careful not to tread on them, knowing it would upset Bumblebee, he loved the flowers for some reason. After looking at the scenery he walked back over to a small tree were the one he loved was sitting under, leaning against the tree. Ratchet smirked as he took a few steps closer to him before kneeling down next to him.
'Hey Wheeljack...beautiful day isn't it?'
Wheeljack said nothing, he just stared straight ahead, not even looking up to acknowledge the medic. Ratchet made a faint smile before hoisting the mechanic up into his arms and carrying back to base. It wasn't that far, Ratchet never dared to travel far with Wheeljack in case of a Decepticon attack. As they walked across the coloured fields Ratchet spoke to his bondmate, letting him know he was still there.
'This...wasn't how I planned to spend our 10 millionth annversary...but I hoped you enjoyed it. You always liked Springtime, you liked the coulor and the smells. Next time we'll go somewhere else, somewhere where you haven't been yet, you like that?'
Once again Wheeljack made no noise, no movement, nothing. He just hanged lifelessly from Ratchet's arms as he was carried back to base, his Spark still functioning but his mind and logic circuits were damaged...badly. The medic made a small sob as he remembered what had happened almost a month ago, his beloved mechanic had been torn up inside and out, his pain beyond belief after his Spark had been ripped in two.
He had been a bondmate with him for 10 million years but after he was kidnapped by the Decepticons he fell for another, a Decepticon named Soundwave...and that was when his horrible experience began. The Decepticons had tortured him, the Autobots thought he was a traitor and himself and Soundwave fought for him, almost as if they didn't care about him at all. That was when Wheeljack snapped and he lost it, his mind destroyed as he couldn't handle it anymore.
Ratchet sighed as he came nearer the base, Jazz and Ironhide there to meet him. The Autobots had been trying to help with Wheeljack's recovery, doing everything in their power to bring their mechanic back to normal. They all felt guilty for what had happened and tried to help both him and Ratchet to make up for what had happened and for turning a blind optic on Wheeljack's pain.
'Hey Doc, how's Wheeljack?' asked Jazz, a small smile on his face.
'He's fine, he had a good day out...I know he did.' sighed the Medic.
'Well let's get him inside, Perceptor wants to take another look at him.' piped Ironhide, trying to sound cheerful.
Ratchet nodded and carried his bondmate into base, praying that one day Wheeljack would come back to him, that he would look at him with those bright blue optics and he would remove his own mask to show off his smile. He wished for the day that he would hear a loud bang and five minutes later Wheeljack would appear with a missing limb saying how sorry he was. However the base was too quiet without him, everyone knew that. As Ironhide and Jazz walked on ahead, Ratchet whispered something into Wheeljack's audios.
'I'll wait for you...I promise.'
Megatron growled as he entered the CR Chamber facility, he was in a bad mood as everything seemed to be falling apart around him and he hated it when that happened. Hook looked up to acknowledge his presence and Scrapper walked up with a few notes in his data pad, ready to give a report. The Decepticon leader made a small growl as he looked up at the CR Chamber in front of him, the chamber giving off a faint green glow.
'Progress report.' snapped Megatron.
Scrapper flicked through his data pad while Megatron kept his optics on the CR Chamber in front of him.
'Well his body is repaired but it's gonna take a while to repair his Personality Circuits so we need to-'
'Leave them.'
Scrapper looked up in shock at the sudden request and a few Constructicons in the room looked horrified at the sudden request from their leader. Long haul was the only one who dared to question Megatron's request.
'But Megatron! If you do that he will never be able to think for himself ever again!' argued Long Haul.
Megatron glared at them and the Constructicons retreated, obeying their orders, not wanting to feel the wrath of their leader. The Decepticon leader sneered and walked up to the Chamber, placing a hand on the glass, his red optics blazing at the one who laid within.
'Soundwave...I never imagined you would do this to me.'
Soundwave floated in the green liquid, covered in wires and cables as he was slowly pumped with Energon. He had been repaired fully but Megatron decided for safety he would remove the Decepticon officer's Personality Circuits so something like this would never happen again. Megatron had no idea that Soundwave would actually fall for an Autobot and turn his back on those he swore loyalty to. However when Megatron tried to destroy the Autobot, Soundwave attacked him, trying to kill him in a fit of rage. Megatron managed to disable him and he was planning to leave him to die but he ordered Thundercraker to grab him before they left. He turned to leave but he glared at Soundwave before leaving the room.
'This will not happen again Soundwave.' he snarled.

Forward-thinking Atlanta heavy metal unit Mastodon have started unveiling details of their follow-up to 2011's universally acclaimed The Hunter, with bassist Troy Sanders telling one interviewer that the band's sixth full-length studio album will pick up where the previous record left off.
"I think, to a degree, it picks up where we left off," Sanders told ARTISTdirect.com. "As always, nothing was really pre-determined and spoken of beforehand, like, 'Okay guys, we need to write a lot of long epic songs and a lot of short sweet songs. We need to have a couple of slow ones.'"
"Nothing like that was predetermined verbally amongst the four of us," he continued. "We go in there and we kind of pick up on whatever comes through Brent [Hinds] and Bill's [Kelliher] fingers and their guitars and build… I guess it's going to be more of a continuation of where we left off."
"Hopefully, it's just a collection of good Mastodon rock and roll songs. That's where it's headed," he said, while drummer Brann Dailor described the album to Rolling Stone as, "real weird, real math-y, real straightforward. It's up, down and all around. It's a culmination of everything for the band."
The band are currently recording the new album with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who's helmed production for Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, and recent BDO 2014 addition, Deftones. The band, who will soon be in the country for Soundwave, hope to unveil the new album some time in 2014.

Around 350,000 small construction business are set to keep more of the cash they earn as the federal government pitches to small business in the lead up to the federal election.
Following on from last year's reduction in the company tax rate for small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $2 million from 30 percent to 28.5 percent, federal treasurer Scott Morrison announced in the latest budget that the company tax rate for small construction companies would fall by a further 1 percent from 1 July 2016 to 27.5 percent.
The threshold for eligibility for the lower tax rate would also be extended from an annual turnover of $2 million to one of $10 million.
Meanwhile, the threshold for the 8 percent small business tax discount for unincorporated entities will also increase from $2 million to $10 million, as will that to qualify for access to the instant write-offs for equipment purchases of up to $20,000, which started last year and expires in 2017.
The move will benefit somewhere in the vicinity of 350,000 small businesses operating within the construction sector in Australia today.
According to ABS data, there are roughly around 345,483 construction businesses operating in Australia with a turnover of less than $2 million, including not just residential, commercial and civil construction but spread across specialist areas such as land development and subdivision, site preparation, concreting, bricklaying, roofing, steel erection, plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning, fire and security alarm installation, building installation, plastering, carpentry, tiling, painting, glazing, landscape construction and construction equipment hire.
These businesses will obviously benefit from either the 1 percent reduction in the company tax rate.
In addition, a portion of the 20,975 businesses within the sector whose turnover exceeds $2 million will have a turnover of less than $10 million and will thus benefit from the increase in thresholds for the aforementioned tax breaks (the ABS does not indicate how many construction businesses have a turnover of between $2 million and $10 million).
Morrison said the importance of small business cannot be overstated.
"Small and medium businesses are driving jobs growth in Australia and must continue to do so," he said.
"They are also overwhelmingly Australian owned and more likely to reinvest their earnings in future growth, as they seek to build their businesses."
"A tax on their businesses is a tax on their enterprise and the jobs they provide."
Aside from tax cuts, a strong level of capital investment was maintained, with the government spending around $50 billion over the six years to 2019/20 on public sector infrastructure.
Major initiatives in this budget include an allocation of $594 million in additional money to the Australian Rail Track Corporation to purchase land and continue preconstruction activities for the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail Network.
Subject to matching funding, the government will also reallocate $1.5 billion in former East West Link funding for the Murray Basin Freight Rail network as well as upgrades to the Monash Freeway and the M80 Ring Road in Victoria.
Western Australia, meanwhile, will get $490 million for the Forrestfield Airport Link and an additional $261 million for the second section of the Perth Freight Link.
The government is also trying to bring the fiscal situation back into balance over the medium term – a measure which is expected to increase confidence and investment within the broader economy and thus help to underpin sound construction conditions over the longer term.
Whilst the budget deficit in 2016/17 will drop only from $39.9 billion to $37.1 billion, the deficit is expected to fall to $6 billion by 2019/20.
Master Builders Australia Chief Executive Officer Wilhelm Harnisch said tradespeople and builders were 'the big winners' in the budget, adding that the demonstrated path back toward fiscal balance would help promote the confidence needed for investment.
The Government has delivered on Master Builders calls for fiscal and industry policy settings that are targeted and realistic," Harnisch said.
"It will boost confidence and should bring forward economic activity, investment, growth and jobs in the building industry,"
The "big winners" have to be paid first. The losses incurred by this sector are well documented.
Andrew, I am not sure what the measurable benefit of this 'cash splash' is. Many of the small construction enterprises that benefited from last budget's handouts bought new cars and little that I saw invested in industry capability building. The sad reality is that many of Australia's construction enterprises will not exist in 5 – 10 years. Not because of the economic setting or poorly targets handouts of public money, they will not exist because they have no viable business strategy or offering. As discussed in my recent Sourceable article over 7000 construction are in the highest risk of insolvency for the coming year. If these businesses are the beneficiaries of last night's budget than that is just more debt and money down the gurgle. Of course you would expect the MBA to come out with a positive spin on this – they are predictable. The challenge they face is that at some time in the future they and other industry associations will need to focus on their viable best practice members rather than setting the minimum industry level at the lowest common denominator for the rest. This is not the way to foster an innovative, competitive and properly invested industry. So I ask what are the measurable of this benefit? If it is "good for jobs and good for growth" then why not say how many construction jobs and what growth in the industry's performance will result, now. its a bit like calling green ball into top right pocket and then sinking it. Otherwise we are all snookered. See my article below;

Why We Love to Scare Ourselves Silly!
Here is an interview I did with MSNBC about the psychology of fear in the "Body Odd' column with Bill Briggs. I don't know if i am an "expert" so much, but i guess there are few people who have put these theories to actual practice in a live setting, so I guess I am more an expert than some. Check out the article. There are smart people included in the article as well.

This vintage dog pin cushion was made in Japan. It measures 4 1/2 in. high by 5 in. long by 3 in. wide. He is in very good condition. He doesn't have any holes or tears in his body. He has a tape measure tongue that measures at least 20 inches or more. He has 2 plastic eyes that are brown with a black pupil. He has a red plastic collar and a black sewn nose. His 2 gray ears have a metal wire to hold them up. He's a gray and tan color. The tomato appears to be homemade but I'm not sure. It is very old. The dog is a very unusual find and would be great to add to your vintage sewing collection. Feedback will be left once feedback is received

|Applies To:
|I have configured a database in Citect version 5 to dynamically change languages at runtime. During runtime I am triggering the SetLanguage function from a button to change to the local language. I also need to configure a button to revert back to the native language, however, I cannot find a function which does this. Is there such a function or do I have to shutdown Citect and restart it to revert back to English?
|You need an English.dbf (and .ndx) but just set the NATIVE fields and leave the LOCAL blank. With any language files, if the LOCAL field is blank then the NATIVE field is used. So just create another button (or keyboard) command and use SetLanguage("English",0) for example. There is information on SetLanguage in the version 5 readme.

A single racial slur in the workplace may be enough to establish a lawsuit for harassment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled July 14.
Clarifying muddled precedent about what needs to be alleged for workplace discrimination claims to survive the pleadings stage, a three-judge panel of the circuit determined plaintiffs need to show that harassment is "severe or pervasive," rather than "severe and pervasive." The decision in Castleberry v. STI Group reversed a ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, which had dismissed the claims.
Two African general laborers on a pipeline project for Chesapeake Energy Corp., Atron Castleberry and John Brown, brought harassment, discrimination and retaliation claims after they were terminated for reporting verbal abuse to supervisors, according to the complaint.
The plaintiffs said they had reported they had been told they would be fired if they "nigger-rigged" a fence they had been instructed to remove, the complaint said.
Castleberry and Brown were working for the staffing agency and subcontractor on the project, STI Group, the complaint said.
The defendants had sought to block the case early in the litigation, arguing that no courts found that a single, isolated incident could constitute a hostile work environment, but, noting some conflicting case law on the issue, Judge Thomas Ambro said the defendants' arguments "miss the point."
"The Supreme Court's decision to adopt the 'severe or pervasive' standard—thereby abandoning a 'regular' requirement—lends support that an isolated incident of discrimination (if severe) can suffice to state a claim for harassment," Ambro said. "Otherwise why create a disjunctive standard where alleged 'severe' conduct—even if not at all 'pervasive'—can establish a plaintiff's harassment clam?"
According to Ambro, case law in the district has conflicted for decades. He noted that cases going back to 2006 have used the "severe or pervasive" standard, but at least three cases between 2001 and 2012 used the "pervasive and regular" threshold. Also, in 2007, the court said the standard was "severe and pervasive," and adding to the confusion, a case in 2001 said the standard was "pervasive and regular," but then applied the "severe or pervasive" standard, Ambro said.
Ultimately, he said the standard that should be used is the "severe or pervasive" standard outlined by the U.S. Supreme Court as early as 1993.
"Plaintiffs are correct even though our precedent is inconsistent," Ambro said.
Although whether an incident is sufficiently extreme and connected to the conditions of employment are "context-specific," a single incident can rise to that level, Ambro said.
"Here plaintiffs alleged that their supervisor used a racially charged slur in front of them and their non-African-American co-workers," Ambro said. "Within the same breath, the use of this word was accompanied by threats of termination (which ultimately occurred). This constitutes severe conduct that could create a hostile work environment."
Daniel Horowitz of Swartz Swidler represented the plaintiffs, Terri Patak of Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote represented STI Group, and Donna Walsh of Myers Brier & Kelly represented Chesapeake Energy. Horowitz did not return a call for comment, and Patak declined to comment on the ruling July 14. Walsh referred a request for comment to a Chesapeake spokesman, who declined to comment.

"… the wind sprang up afresh, with a kind of bitter song, as if it said: "This is reality, whether you like it or not. All those frivolities of summer, the light and shadow, the living mask of green that trembled over everything, they were lies, and this is what was underneath. This is the truth." It was as if we were being punished for loving the loveliness of summer. "
― Willa Cather, My Antonia
Every year, I write an annual reflection on summer at the end of the season. Last year's reflection was the most interesting ( in a twisted sort of way) by far. I thought I'd post it now as the official kick off to summer 2014. Read on and you'll understand why I posted the quote above. Then pray like you've never prayed before that this summer will be nothing like LAST summer.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Summer's Revenge
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
What a quote. It's brimming with hope like a hot cup of french press coffee at 6am.
I wish I could relate.
I love summer- always have. In fact, I write an annual reflection on summer, when its glory fades into fall and the kids go back to school.
Since I was a kid, summer's always been about freedom. A time to throw off the shackles of schedules and "have to's." A time to break free from the confines of winter for outdoor adventures. A time to daydream and not be anywhere on time (well, except swim practice).
Not this summer. Nope. Not at all.
This summer, there was no sunshine at our house. There was rain and lots of it. There were no hot, sticky days. No sitting outside on the porch sipping an IPA unless we wanted the black cloud of mosquitos to enjoy their own bottomless beverage of choice. In fact, summer was full of all sorts of bugs in the Davis household. Real ones, stomach ones, and the dreaded of all bugs- LICE. "What?!", you say? "Your kids made it through the whole year of school without lice, but they got it in the summer?" Ding, ding, ding, ding! Congratulations.
So, it's no wonder that I cannot resonate with Mr. F.Scott Fitzgerald. Lice sucked the summer fun out of us all. We spent all of July nit-picking and comb-boiling. In fact, I almost caught my entire house on fire because I fell asleep while my nit combs boiled away to something unrecognizable. Thank goodness for the putrid smell of burning plastic (as well as smoke alarms) as a signal to my subconscious that something was DEFINITELY not right! The nit combs were forever immortalized at the bottom of my favorite stainless steel pot, like some fossil of a prehistoric worm.
As if that wasn't enough, my kids and I got the stomach bug, too. In fact, I think I actually contracted lice from my daughter while were both laid low on the same bed after a night of retching. Brilliant. After that I went on a compulsive shopping spree at…wait for it…Walgreens. New nit combs- check. Electronic comb for lice (that doesn't work, by the way)- check. Lice repellant shampoo- check. Probiotics for mom's digestive health- check. Gummy bear probiotics for kids' digestive health- check. A couple of neon sharpies (just to make the trip worthwhile)- check. Nothing like dropping $100 at Walgreens.
Finally, when it seemed as if all the bugs had moved along to some other hoston their parasitic journey, we drove to Bent Creek to take a family hike. With camera in hand, kids in tow, and baby on back, we were ready to emerge from the pestilence into the outside world.
Not so fast. As the 6 of us scrambled out of the car, I yanked the sliding door shut on the van and watched with terror as it literally fell off the car. It's a curious feeling one gets when you're 40 minutes away from home, you have 4 kids, no cell reception, and your car has no door.
Thank goodness for the Boy Scouts of North Carolina. If this tragedy had taken place in Philly, I think we would still be standing in the same spot, staring at the gaping hole on the side of our car (or paid an outrageous fortune for a tow truck). A former boy scout who happened to pass by just happened to have rope, a wrench, and his wits with him. By the grace of Jesus, Duane, the boy scout, another man, and Aidan got the door back on the track and tied on to the car like a Christmas tree. Just in case you're wondering, he used a trucker knot. Also in case you're wondering, we did not go on a hike that day.
Whew. I hope you're laughing. We weren't.
But now we are, I think.
In the middle of all the calamity, I should report that we enjoyed a beautiful week at the beach with Duane's family in early August without any sickness or any bugs. It was like Christmas morning for 7 full days. Nights on the porch listening to the ocean. Runs down the strip. Boogie boarding with our kids. And even a trip to a water park. Even at 35, I still get a kick out of water slides, especially if my kids are going down with me! (Thanks for putting up with my child-likeness, Duane!)
I haven't given up on summer just yet. Sliding Rock still awaits in the off-season as soon as the tourists go home. We've gotten to go on some beautiful hikes since the car door incident. And Duane even paddled down the French Broad river in a canoe the other day. The familiar conviction is returning that life just may be beginning over again in the waning days of summer.

Judge Jeanine Pirro has happily dived into the "basket of deplorables."
The phrase, used by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton last Friday to denigrate and demean supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has since become a rallying cry for the growing Trump Nation of supporters.
Pirro on Friday posted a picture of herself on her Facebook page wearing a red T-shirt bearing the inscription "Deplorable Me."

"Like my new shirt?" she posted.

Earlier in the day, she had posted another reply to Clinton's infamous remark.
"You want to call us 'deplorable'? Does that mean if she's president, she doesn't care about me? I think. The now-infamous basket of deplorables remark is the turning point in the 2016 race," Pirro posted.
Advertisement - story continues below
Pirro had been incensed about the remark as soon as she heard about it.
"And you want to call us Islamophobes? On the eve of the 15th anniversary of 9/11, if I'm from Lower Manhattan, San Bernardino or Orlando and I'm afraid of a Muslim jihadist, I'm an Islamophobe?" Pirro had said angrily last weekend. "You, Hillary are a liar, and a pathological one at that. You're a cheat. You're dishonest. You're condescending, arrogant and contemptuous."
"And if you think that your half-a–ed apology will wipe the slate clean you are wrong," she said. "I can't trust a president who doesn't think I'm worthy of being an American."
On Saturday, Pirro added a two-word Facebook message: "Still Deplorable."
Advertisement - story continues below
The comments and the shirt were a hit.
"The word deplorable has many meanings that are anything but kind, but Hillary Clinton has put a new twist on it. It has unified Trump supporters. That was fighting words. Like waving a red cape in front of a mean bull. When you open a can of worms, you can't put them back in," wrote Marilyn Charpentier Shannon on Pirro's page.
"Hillary shot herself in the foot with her 'deplorable', remark. It just made us conservatives even stronger," commented George Boyd.
Trump himself is using Clinton's words to unify and inspire his supporters.

On Friday night, at a MIami rally, Trump's campaign projected as a backdrop to the billionaire a "Les Deplorables" meme.
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 10, 2016
For the event, Trumps entrance music was Do You Hear the People Sing? from the musical Les Misérables.
"Welcome to all of you deplorables," he said to start his speech.

Ice Cream is favourite for all of us. That too Mango Ice Cream is the most favourite among many of us. There are many variety of flavours in ice cream. Though many of us still order for mango flavour whenever we go for ice-cream shops. Homemade Mango Ice Creams are very easy to concoct and it is very scrumptious too.
|Mango Ice Cream
We can also top it up with our favourite toppings before serving this yummy ice-cream. Many people like chocolate chips and nuts as topping and some like tutti-fruti. I have used store bought mango pulp, but we can substitute with pulp from fresh mangoes.
|Mango Ice Cream
|Preparation time
|Cooking Time
|6 -8 hours
|1 Litre of Ice cream
|Mango Ice Cream
|Mango Pulp
|30 oz Can or 4 Cups*
|Sweetened Condensed Milk
|14 oz Can or 2 Cups
|Whipped Topping
|7oz Can
* 1 Cup Capacity = 250ml
|Mango Ice Cream
- I have used the store-bought pulp. We can also substitute this with fresh mangoes. We can peel the mangoes and chop them and blend them to get the pulp. Add the pulp to a big bowl. Then add condensed milk to the pulp
- Finally add the cream and using a whip, gently mix them till they are mixed well. Do not beat the ingredients too fast or over beat them. This will make the ice-cream so dense. Gently stir with the whip till all 3 ingredients are nicely mixed well
- Pour the ice-cream mixture into a freezer box. Freeze it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight. If we like to have mango chunks in the ice-cream we can take out the ice-cream after 2 hours from the freezer and add the chunks and mix well and then again keep it in refrigerator. The next day morning, take out the ice-cream to check if the mango ice-cream has set well.
- Now our ice-cream is ready for serving. Take 2 serving bowls and add 2 scoops of Mango ice-cream to each bowl and then top it with cherries, nuts and choco chips and Serve Chilled! Hmmm What a mouth-watering Homemade Mango Ice-Cream!
