October 27, 2006 – How many sports can claim to have a beer that's produced especially for its enthusiasts? Motorcycle racing is one of few, if any, as "Moto Brew" makes its way into stores and out to fans, with a particularly high-profile role as a major sponsor of Troy Lee's "Duel At The Docks" AMA Supermoto Championship November 3-5 at the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
"What started off as just a cool idea a couple of years ago has turned into a nationally recognized, great-tasting beer that exudes the spirit of riding," says Gregg Primm, Moto Brew's founder and head taste tester. The concept of custom suds for cyclists came as he was planning an event for invited guests to see his renowned collection of motocross bikes in the Nevada town that bears his family's name."
"The mind-numbing array of choices always presents a dilemma about what beer to serve," says Primm. "So we decided to brew our own, and it just happened to turn out better than anything else that's out there!" The tie-in with the inaugural "Duel At The Docks" makes a ton of marketing sense, but it's hardly an accident. In fact, Troy is one of the guys who helped launch Moto Brew… by using his unique artistic flair to design the beer's distinctive label.
"If you ask me, it's the coolest label ever to grace a beer bottle," bubbles Primm. The inventive figure-eight track layout for "Duel At The Docks" – made possible by sending racers through the Monaco Tunnel near the transition from pavement to dirt – also creates a perfect area for the event's Moto Brew Beer Garden.
"The infield that's surrounded by the dirt portion of the track will be one of the best places to see the race, not only because of the action but also because that's where you can have a Moto Brew," notes Lee, who until venturing into the medium of beverage bottles has mostly been known for the artwork adorning the world's fastest racers' helmets. Besides Moto Brew, other DATD sponsors include American Honda, Oakley, Weekend Warrior, Parts Unlimited, Empresa Home Loans, Mattel and 70/30.
Troy Lee's "Duel At The Docks" begins on Friday, Nov. 3rd with practice sessions that are open to the public. Saturday the 4th will feature amateur racing in the NASMOTO (North American Supermoto) championship, with the AMA Supermoto Championship national final taking place on Sunday the 5th.
Tickets are available at www.troyleedesigns.com and at participating Southern California Honda motorcycle dealers. Prices are $15/Friday, $25/Saturday, $35/Sunday, or $50 for the whole weekend. Kids age 12 and under get in free with a paid adult using a voucher available at Honda motorcycle dealers. A limited number of motorcycles will be able to park in the Queen Mary lot, while those in autos will park at the nearby Long Beach Convention Center and take advantage of a convenient stream of shuttle buses and watercraft to and from the racetrack.

Despite a long, rich history of partnership, especially on the
battlefield, the US-Australia alliance is, arguably, stronger than
it has ever been. Re-forged in the crucible of the tragic events of
9/11, Australia has more than proven its mettle as America's
Without question, Canberra's contribution to democracy, freedom, and international peace and security since 9/11 has been significant. Australian support for these important free world principles has not gone unnoticed in Washington. The relationship has come a long way since the alliance floundered over dealing with the challenges of Indonesia's transition and East Timor's independence in the late 1990s.
The American people will not forget Australia's response after 9/11. I know I will not, having sat next to Prime Minister John Howard on September 10, 2001 in his meeting with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld while serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Affairs. Along with the United Kingdom, Australia was one of the first countries to commit troops to coalition action in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al Qaeda. Australia deployed 150 elite Special Air Services (SAS) forces, along with aerial tankers to Kyrgyzstan and P-3 patrol aircraft to the Persian Gulf region. The highly capable Australian SAS was largely responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance and directing air strikes in close cooperation with the coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Lowering its military presence, Australia later committed more than $80 million in assistance to Afghanistan. In April 2005, Canberra pledged $12 million for the delivery of basic health and education services, combating opium cultivation and heroin production, and assistance for upcoming September elections.
In March 2003, Prime Minister Howard announced that the Australian government had decided to commit troops to the U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq to unseat the Saddam Hussein regime. Despite some unpopularity at home over the decision, Australia currently maintains over 900 troops. To date more than 2,000 Australian Defense Forces personnel have served in Iraq.
In addition to supporting both the reconstruction efforts in Iraq and coalition military operations against the insurgency and terrorism, Australian Defense Forces are conducting maritime interception operations in the northern Persian Gulf, providing intra-theater airlift and sustainment and logistics support, too. They are also giving training to the Iraqi Armed Forces, including officer and logistics training.
In February 2005, Howard announced the decision to enhance Australia's commitment to the coalition operations in Iraq with the deployment of an additional 450 personnel to the southern Iraqi province of Al Muthanna. The Task Group will provide security for Japanese Self Defense Force reconstruction efforts as well as training for the Iraqi Army in the province. The total number of Australian military personnel in Iraq will be brought up to 1,300 once the deployment is completed.
Australia has also pledged more than $78 million for humanitarian relief efforts in Iraq since 2003. The Australian contribution consists of $13 million for international agencies operating in Iraq, $30 million for urgent humanitarian relief operations under the United Nations Flash Appeal, and $35 million for further humanitarian requirements and priority reconstruction activities. The Australian government also provided 100,000 tons of wheat through the World Food Program, sufficient to feed almost two million Iraqis for six months.
Australia has long been a proud leader in preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the alliance has also been strengthened by new cooperation on the weapons nonproliferation front. Australia is one of the 11 nations that initially backed the creation of the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) in 2003. At present, Australia is among 63 countries that have signed up for the PSI. Australia hosted and chaired the second PSI plenary meeting in Brisbane in July 2003, which advanced an operational framework for the proliferation effort. Australia also led the first interdiction exercise, 'Pacific Protector,' in the Coral Sea in September 2003, involving Australian, Japanese, French and American military and law enforcement assets.
Supporting the PSI, in December 2004 the Australian government announced plans to impose a 1,000-nautical mile (nm) security perimeter around Australia that far exceeds the traditional 200 nm economic exclusion zone (EEZ.) Ships passing within the zone would be required to provide comprehensive information such as ship identity, crew, cargo, location, course, speed and intended port of arrival. Cargo vessels penetrating Australia's EEZ would be asked even more detailed questions. Ships suspected of transporting illicit cargoes, especially nuclear related materials and or terrorists, would be intercepted and boarded. The project has since been scaled back because the government has no legal jurisdiction to enforce such a zone and no interdiction rights to board ships outside its EEZ. But ships will still be asked to provide information on a voluntary basis when they come within 500 nautical miles offshore.
Australia has been an important partner on missile defence. In July 2004, Australia and the United States signed a framework memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlining future Australian participation on cooperative missile defense activities. The 25-year agreement lays the groundwork for joint US-Australian missile defense system development and testing, and includes Australia as a participating country in the US missile defence program.
Canberra has been a leader in its region in counterterrorism as well. Australia has concluded ten bilateral memorandums of understanding on counter-terrorism with Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Fiji, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, India, East Timor and Brunei. These MOUs support practical and operational-level cooperation. In February 2004, Australia coordinated a regional ministerial meeting on counterterrorism held in Bali, Indonesia. The meeting identified ways of strengthening the region's counterterrorism efforts in the critical areas of law enforcement, information sharing and legal frameworks.
Despite unprecedented levels of cooperation, some will argue that the current honeymoon in American and Australian relations will wane. This is sure to be the case, especially as our respective governments change from liberal to conservative-and back again. It is a certainty that they are not always going to be in synch on all issues. The issue of trade comes immediately to mind. But a relationship based on shared values has a greater chance of weathering the tough times than one that is based on an incidental overlap of interests.
This is the case with the US-Australian relationship. The US-Australia alliance is firmly anchored in our shared values of personal freedom, democracy and free markets. And the alliance is much more than the bravery and courage exhibited by American and Australian forces in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, or Iraq. It is mutually beneficial relationship, fortified by vibrant people to people contact and friendship.
Matching America's size with Australian grit and determination benefits both countries. The United States and Australia are not just regional partners-they are global partners, sharing global responsibilities for making the world a better and more secure place for themselves and others. Based on mutual respect and understanding, it is an alliance that is sure to endure well into the 21st century.

Victor Yurkovsky aka ENSO developed an FPGA based board, called OberonStation, in cooperation with Paul Reed, which is supposed to run Project Oberon. It does work but in a very mediocre and unreliable way. And Victor gives no warranty or aftersales service nor a real refund.
My advice: do not buy it and work with the excellent and free emulators!
Here the OberonStation story, an ugly tale.
Victor Yurkovsky a.k.a. Enso, developed an FPGA based board, called OberonStation, in cooperation with Paul Reed, which is supposed to run Project Oberon.
It does work but in a very mediocre and unreliable way. And Victor gives no warranty or aftersales service nor a real refund for this poorly designed and badly manufactured product.
My advice: do not buy it and work with the excellent and free emulators!
After the initial enthousiasm and the too fast decision (I can have a Wirth system to play with!) to buy it, not checking out Enso/Victor, and now just disappointment.
The OberonStation is advertised on the website devoted to 6502: http://www.6502.org.
This is what I experienced and think is wrong with this board, and the process the board is made and shipped with:
- Price. A complete board cost is $169. Add to this $26 transport costs (I live in Europe) and $25 taxes (due to not so smart paperwork by Enso) this adds up to $220.
The FPGA used XC3S700AN FPGA costs in quantity less than $50. I did get a small refund after my complaints about the damages and missing parts, never an offer for full refund or warranty repair.
- Sales process. The Paypal payment went wrong due to the sloppy salespage implementation of Enso.
- Shipping. Bad packaging led to a damaged connector on the board. Enso described it to 'customs stepping on the board', an excuse he uses often.
- Incomplete shipping. The network adapter was not on stock when my board shipped as told in emails, I agreed to shipping later. Later on Enso blamed 'customs' again for loosing the adapter and I never received the adapter, a $5 value.
- Quality of soldering. After initial working the micro USB connector for the power connection started to make bad contact and now does not work not at all, it is getting loose.
I had to solder in pins to the empty power pads to supply power. No way Enso accepted my warranty request, blamed 'custom's again.My board is not the only board having problems with reliability of the connectors. Carlos Trigoso reported that on his board the PS/2 connectors came loose and was getting the now standard 'customs stepped on it' reply and did not get any warranty repair either.
Read this story about 'home soldering' by Enso: http://www.fpgarelated.com/showarticle/499.php
Quote: I've been assembling and reflowing BGA circuit boards at home for a few years now. BGAs and 0.5mm-pitch QFPs are well within the realm of a determined amateur.
- Quality of the VGA signal. A combination of the Enso implementation and the choice of VGA 1024×768 at 70 Hz by Project Oberon, on none of my standard VGA to my high end Iiyama monitors an acceptable sharp image appears, all a bit fuzzy.
- Extreme sensitivity to PS2 device variations. It took me several keyboards and mouses to get a working system. Which is worse than the original FPGA system Wirth developed Project Oberon, he is known (seen photos of it) to use USB to PS/2 adapters. Working USB to PS/2 adapters I have tested on other computers like the Apple 1 replicas do not work at all. So now I have one (cheap) optical mouse ordered from China, arrived after some weeks and an old Microsoft keyboard.
- Sincere lack of documentation. No circuit diagram, no information on the connectors layout. Unknown how to connect the network adapter, it can be inserted in two ways. (I read reports of user snhirsch trying it obviously the wrong way , his systems hangs and he dares now not to insert the other way. The reply by Enso is 'It plugs into the (only matching) 8-pin female header, hanging off the edge of OberonStation.' which is not helping since it is still unclear how to orientate the insertion.
- No community. Instead of enthousiastic users on the support forum, is only filled with the complaints by me and others as summed above. As you would expect it is heavily moderated by Enso and of course complaining users like me are banned. The sales/info page does not display properly on an Android tablet or phone, and spam on the board is a real issue, whatever …
- Quote from the OberonStation forum, I am not the only one with a quality issue and the 'stepped upon' reply:
Carlos Trigoso
Total disappointment. First note that I made sure the mouse, the keyboard (both PS/2 and tested with normal PS/2 machines) were working correctly. Also note that I tested 4 different power sources which had a stable output as specified never less than 5 V. Third note the video output worked without noticeable problem. Nevertheles neither the mouse nor the keyboard were able detected and obviously these did not work. The more I looked into this the more I noticed that both PS/2 sockets were shaky and probably the contact was bad but I confess that I am not interested in starting a dicussion about the quality of the setup. Oberon is and will be a fantastic invention. Sadly the OberonStation board I received did not work. I will stay with my other versions of Oberon on Linux, etc, all of which work perfectly well. As I say, total disappointment as the assembly could have been so much better for the price charged. Never mind.
Administrator (Victor)
I contacted OP. Occasionally the boards get damaged (stepped on?) during shipping. OP says he is going back to Linux and wants nothing to do with OberonStation, so I am closing this case.
- Another quote from the OberonStation forum, another dead board.
What is small PCB for? My Oberonstation came with a small PCB containing a 16Mhz. crystal, another component covered in epoxy and a 4-pin header. I see no mention of the board on the web site. What is it? If it's designed to plug into port 2, in which direction should it be oriented?
Yes, that is the network board. It plugs into the (only matching) 8-pin female header, hanging off the edge of OberonStation.
It is provided to match the requirements of the ETH 'reference platform', and is used to network with other OberonStations. Perhaps in the future someone will make a Raspberry Pi network host…
When I install the network board "hanging off the edge.." (which I interpret to mean projecting outwards from the perimeter) the Oberonstation won't boot. I get a mottled grey and white screen. Am I understanding this correctly? I hesitate to turn it around for fear I'll damage something.
Suggestion: Unless all 8 pins are required please consider plugging one of the holes in the header and clipping the corresponding pin to make it unambiguous?
- Victor is quite an unpleasant person to deal with, as I have experienced in out email and forum encounters. To illustrate this, some quotes from the Oberon mailing list:
XXX, are you a moron or just pretending?
No one can _make_ a $9.00 computer. You can sell a computer for $9.00, at a loss, if you are funded by a VC, for instance.
It is fashionable for startups to lose money in order to gain market share, and then sell the business to some other moron. However, it's only worth it if the market is more than 300 people.
Just go be a visionary somewhere else.
Finally, you can always just not buy it.
Please don't buy it.
Some sales are not worth it because the customer will bitch and complain about everything imaginable and waste everyone's time with their useless opinions, before asking to return the item.
This explains a lot about why I as customer was treated the way I am: complain about a defective system and not being serviced.

Commissioning, testing gensets using resistive/reactive load banks
The case for reactive load bank testing
The ability to simulate varying reactive loads, which are more realistic, is the most essential benefit for a load bank that provides both kVA (resistive) and kVAR (reactive) loads. The critical differences between testing with a resistive-only load bank and a resistive/reactive load bank are compared in Table 1. A resistive-only load bank can provide adequate testing of the individual prime mover and load sharing (including load add/load shed) controls of a multiple unit facility. However, a reactive load bank allows testing of the alternator, load sharing, and transient responses because it can apply loads that approach those experienced during normal genset operation (see Table 2).
Genset engine governors respond to loads by reducing engine speed. Figure 2 compares the transient response for a large diesel standby genset when applying a block load using restive-only and resistive/reactive load banks. The resulting initial synchronous voltage dip (Vdip1) using the 75% load at 0.80 power factor results in a voltage dip that is approximately 25% greater when compared to the equivalent resistive-only load applications. The engine speed related voltage dip (Vdip2) is similar, in both cases, due to the manufacturer's standard V/Hz-type voltage regulator.
During testing with a resistive-only load bank, a system that is sensitive to transient voltage dips would not necessarily provide an indication of a power supply or system condition that would lead to a potential problem during operation. Solid-state controls and power supplies are particularly sensitive to transients and can shut down unexpectedly during load changes unless specifically backed up with a dedicated power source capable of riding through the voltage and frequency transients associated with block loading of the gensets.
When testing multiple unit generator systems, the ability to share reactive loads (kVAR) equally is critical to achieving the maximum-rated power system output. When load sharing controls are not properly configured (i.e., droop settings, cross-current compensation, and measurement and control device polarities), resistive-only testing can fail to determine how the reactive load is accepted by an individual generator. In addition, the paralleling switchgear and protective relays may perform adequately under resistive load applications, but the reactive load bank testing will provide load acceptance and rejection that simulates real-world conditions more closely (see Figure 3).
Choosing the right resistive/reactive load bank
When selecting a resistive/reactive load bank it is important to consider key features including ease of operation, onboard diagnostics, metering, the ability for an operator to control multiple units from a single controller, and data download capabilities. Load banks offering automatic step loading and duration, and data collection and reporting capabilities are beneficial in providing the necessary records to demonstrate compliance with the facility and regulatory requirements.
Connecting load banks to a facility normally involves temporarily connecting the 3-phase power conductors to the load bus. Electrical testing and load bank rental companies can supply the necessary load banks, transformers, and cables to provide the correct service voltage for the equipment being tested.
The proof is in the testing
Specifying engineers can and should promote reactive load bank testing because it is the best way to test the entire system to identify system-wide weaknesses during commissioning and at periodic test intervals to be in compliance with the regulatory agencies. Without proof of testing, the design remains hypothetical. Testing systems with the correct size and type of resistive/reactive load bank validates the power generation system design (see Table 3).
For existing installations, proper reactive load bank testing provides real-time data and factual evidence of reliability, functionality, and reduction of capacity resulting from aged equipment. Additionally, reactive load bank testing provides a best-case simulated real-world condition where voltage-drop, thermal heating, harmonics, and efficiency can be analyzed more effectively than with a resistive load only.
Full system integration testing of critical systems during commissioning establishes an accurate baseline for ongoing operational performance and is a valuable tool in providing a higher level of confidence in the emergency power system.

Two Steps Forward, One Back
Hubs got back to planting yesterday afternoon. YAY! The forecast is for a week of dry, sunny weather. YAY! If it really stays true, he may actually get done planting. YAY!
Eldest daughter finished her treatments yesterday. YAY! She's started back on a medication regime and will gradually build up to the dosages she will continue taking. Her final dosages should end up being about half what she was on before treatment. YAY! Her memory should start filling in and coming back now that treatments have stopped. YAY!
I got out in the yard yesterday afternoon and started doing some long-needed work. I weeded the back garden border, that consists mainly of hostas and shade plants, and cleared the vegetable garden. I was going to rototill the veggie garden, but couldn't get the tiller started and although Hubs offered to help me I hated to drag him from his work to help me with mine. (Yes, dear, Only Child Syndrome strikes again! Must.Do.Myself.) So, I ended up digging it up by hand (with tools, of course) and getting the tomatoes, green peppers and flowering kale in place. I also went to the old house and robbed some Lambs Ears to plant at the new house before son killed off the patch. They've done a bunch of re-doing of the old flower beds, reducing them to a more managable size for him and his wife. That works for me, as they aren't my gardens anymore. However, the Lambs Ears that were there were transplanted from my mother's garden long ago, so wanted to have a few to save. Also grabbed a couple of ferns that were my Hubs' grandmothers'… again, something passed down. Seems there have been gardeners in our families for a long time and it is fun to see my newest daughter-in-law getting the gardening bug! The bad news (as you knew there had to be) was that by evening I could barely move. I rarely use the whirlpool tub, but I certainly got in it last night and had a good soak, then headed right to bed. Hubs was sweet enough to fix me supper and served it to me in bed, without even a slight "I told you so!"
I have three flats of flowers left to plant. *sigh*

Coming from multiple generations of farmers, I get the urge every Spring to till and plant. USUALLY I can satisfy this in my small herb garden, but the back yard beckons, as I imagine the beans and corn and lettuce and radishes.
Luckily that is as far as it usually goes, because then I remember the weeds and watering and no one who will help exccept with the eating.
I'm glad to hear that your daughter is almost finished with everything and things are looking up!
I'm envious that you have a whirlpool tub, something I need for my next place (mine is far too shallow to even bother with a regular bath).
oh, i ma so glad to hear that your daughter is doing better, Sue!!
sending you hugs, my dear! have a great afternoon. 🙂
Good to hear that things are looking better for you. Good thoughts continue your way.
I told you so! Now go see your physical therapist!
welcome back to a normal life…..
As I was reading your post, I was thinking… you are so going to feel that later. Though not an only child, I somehow have that same syndrome of not asking for help or letting someone else do "my" work. Which is why I was found scrubbing the shower and vacuuming 2 weeks post-op. I also felt it later… thank goodness for whirlpool tubs!
Now that is a good man. 🙂 I'd love to see photos of your garden when it's done.
So glad to hear that your daughter is doing well.
I had to go take two ibuprofen after just reading about all that physical labor.

* FTSE 100 down 0.1 percent
* 50-day moving average, at 6,451, to provide support
* Fresnillo leads; gold set for best week in a month
By Tricia Wright
LONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Britain's top shares drifted lower on Friday as concern over less central bank stimulus took its toll on sentiment, though with the index finding technical support in the wake of steep falls in the previous session.
The FTSE 100 was down 5.41 points, or 0.1 percent, at 6,477.93 points by 1109 GMT, stabilising after a 1.6 percent drop seen in the previous session.
Analysts said that the 50-day moving average, currently at 6,451, would provide short-term support.
"We're sat on technical levels which I think is holding us up," CMC Markets trader Matt Basi said.
"A lot of clients are saying that a break beneath 64 (6,400)is the indicator for the next level down but at the moment we're around the moving average and for now it's likely that we'll drift around this level."
The FTSE 100's steep falls on Thursday came after robust U.S. jobless claims data, which fuelled concern the U.S. Federal Reserve might, from next month, start cutting back its stimulus - one of the major drivers of this year's equity market rally.
"I think this is just deflating a little bit of the QE (quantitative easing) induced valuations to certain equities," Paul Kavanagh, a partner at Killik & Co, said.
"I would say that the nearer it gets back down to 6,000 again the more aggressively positioned one would be... because you would start to see some valuations coming back into stronger buy territory."
Kavanagh sees opportunities in the mining sector, the biggest fallers this year by some margin, with the FTSE 350 Mining index down some 13 percent.
Over the period, the STOXX 600 Basic Resources index's 12-month forward price/earnings ratio has fallen to 10.5 times from 11.3 times, according to Thomson Reuters Datastream.
He also highlighted ad group WPP which, according to Datastream, trades on a 12-month forward price/earnings ratio of 13.4 times against its 15-year average of 16.5 times.
Gold miners Fresnillo and Randgold Resources led the risers on Friday with respective gains of 5.2 percent and 4.4 percent, with the precious metal set for its biggest weekly gain in a month. (Reporting by Tricia Wright, additional reporting by Francesco Canepa; editing by Ron Askew)

This Master programme in Biology is research-driven, and laboratory work is coupled with field studies.
The programme combines a broad foundation in natural sciences with state-of-the-art knowledge and advanced experimental methodology within biology.
Biology covers a large spectrum of subjects, from molecules to ecosystems and from early life forms on Earth to climate changes on land and in the sea. As a biology graduate from SDU, you will gain a broad education which can be used in many different contexts; in the private business sector, in research, in teaching or in public administration.
Work is primarily experimental, in laboratories on campus in Odense, at the Marine Biological Research Centre in Kerteminde, and the Sandbjerggaard Research Station in southern Funen, as well as different locations around the country and the rest of the world.
You can piece your own research profile together within the research areas covered by the Department of Biology.
The Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark focuses its research in experimental biology within four different areas. In these areas, the research is cutting edge and as a student, you get to be where that research is developed. However, teaching in the biological courses is broad and includes all basic biological disciplines.
Graduates in Biology from SDU are among those biologists in Denmark who have the highest employment rates.
The Biology programme at SDU is versatile and can be pieced together in many different ways. Therefore, you can follow several different career paths as a biologist, depending on your professional interests, both in Denmark and abroad.
The Master programme in Biology has a scope of 120 ECTS, equivalent to two years' full-time work.
The first semester consists of 30 ECTS worth of courses, most of which are elective. During the second sementer, you can either take elective courses or do an internship, according to your professional interests and desired career path. This allows you to opt for a broad profile or specialise in one of the following fields:

Wow, there is a lot of madness in the world. People are so busy they don't have time to stop and think. It's so much easier just to get outraged and cling to righteous indignation. Please people, slow down, think.
I posted some pictures of a shelter in KY that wants to make a change, that wants to learn how to SAVE LIVES. I emailed them to a very few, trusted rescue groups. And then…despite all efforts, it went viral. And the hatred started spewing forth.
If you want to be angry, be angry at the society or culture that thinks animals are disposable or not worthy or deserving of compassion and care. Be angry at the lack of understanding about spay and neuter and the lack of access to affordable spay and neuter in many parts of the country. And then take that anger and do something useful with it. Effect a change. Volunteer with a low cost spay neuter clinic, foster a dog or cat, drive a transport, do something useful. Hateful emails and phone calls are not useful or productive. And they make me less useful and productive too. I can spend my time saving lives or I can spend it dealing with your anger. You choose.
So, if you received the private email I sent out and crossposted please, for the love of God, take the email down or at least any identifying information! It was a private no forward, no crosspost email. Our purpose in posting these pictures was to show people the animals currently in need, in the hopes of lining up reputable rescues to take as many dogs as possible. Please let me get back to that work.
While the conditions at this shelter are far from ideal, the good news is that changes are already taking place. After a history in this county of not being rescue friendly, there is new management and they are actively seeking assistance to make things better. Currently the shelter and everyone involved are doing everything in their power to improve conditions and get as many animals into rescue as quickly as possible. And, of course, us being trusted enough to come in and take pictures is an important part of that and we would hate for that to create a negative backlash against the shelter when they are already cooperating fully.
I don't know how familiar folks are with the sad state of animal welfare in Kentucky, but resources in this state Kentucky are severely limited and local rescues are already stretched to capacity. Our best option is moving animals out of state but of course those openings are limited too and there are always logistical and financial constraints (renting cargovans, getting animals vetted and health certified etc.). All the changes needed will take time, but we are working overtime to get there as fast as we can because we know the animals are depending on us.
All of the moms and pups have rescue except the black dog that can't be handled and the pittie mom & pups. The PG dog has rescue. Many of the other dogs do too. As many as we can safely and humanely transport will be on board – we have enough rescue commitments for that. We will be working on how to move forward with helping this shelter.
As we are able to get a plan in place we'll be updating and letting folks know how to HELP. For now, as the Dali Llama said, "if you cannot help them, please do them no harm". Let the shelter come into the light. Let them be guided toward life saving. Give these dogs a chance.
Thanks again to all those wanting to help. There have been some awesome emails too! Thanks to those who do have an understanding and please, help spread the word to those who don't yet. Everyone means well, I know they do. We wouldn't be doing what we do and you wouldn't be reading this otherwise!
Take good care folks & keep the faith,

With the different options that you will be able to find out there, you are the boss and you may decide the events.
When it comes to selling the home, a good real estate agent is actually not the only option that you have to sell home Tallahassee. As a matter of fact, in such changing scenario, when one must sell the home fast, it is more often that one would turn to the cash property buyer. Why is the cash property buyer really becoming a fantastic option? Why must you select a cash property buyer for selling the home fast? Know that selling the home fast is really possible through the cash property buyer's help. There are many advantages when it comes to choosing such option.
Some things that you need to know when you would sell home Tallahassee to the cash property buyer is there are no commissions or legal fees that you must worry about. You have to know that legal problems are totally take care of. Know that the cash property buyer may be easily contacted online sitting in the comfort of your house. All that you have to do is that you fill out the application form online with the needed details and you may get a free estimate for the home real fast.
You may have a free estimate for the home and for this reason, you can get a fantastic idea on the home's cost. Getting that free estimate for your house is really an obligation free service and due to this, you are under no pressure of selling the home to the company. To check on the home's current price, then you may also check the featured listings Tallahassee.

When you plan to sell your house, there is really a great reason for such decision. You can sell the home because of a financial crunch, the threat of repossession or because of such urgent need for money. Whatever is the reason for sale, it is very evident that you would like to sell the home quickly, get the money and be able to close the deal at the earliest.

Great tits: birds with character
09.02.2010 - (idw) Max-Planck-Institut für Ornithologie
Gene variation is the reason that some great tit populations are more curious than others
In humans and animals alike, individuals differ in sets of traits that we usually refer to as personality. An important part of the individual difference in personality is due to variation in the underlying genes. One gene, the dopamine receptor D4 gene, however, is known to influence novelty seeking and exploration behaviour in a range of species, including humans and birds. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen now show that the gene's influence on birds' behaviour differs markedly between wild populations of great tits (Molecular Ecology, Feb. 9th, 2010). In 2007, researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology found a gene related to individual variation in exploratory behaviour in great tits (see "Character-gene" makes songbirds curious). Birds with a certain variant of this so-called "dopamine receptor D4 gene" (DRD4 gene) showed stronger novelty seeking and exploration behaviour than individuals with other variants. This association was originally tested and found in a lab-raised group of birds.
Now, a large international group of researchers around Bart Kempenaers, director of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Germany, repeated the test in adult wild birds captured in the field. Research groups from the Centre for Terrestrial Ecology in Heteren (NL), the Universities of Antwerp (Belgium) and Groningen (NL), and the Edward Grey Institute of field Ornithology in Oxford (UK) all measured exploratory behaviour of large numbers of great tits in a similar way. And they brought their data together to test the generality of the association between the different gene variants and exploration behaviour. "To our knowledge, this is the most extensive study of gene variants underlying personality-related behavioural variation in a free-living animal to date, and the first to compare different wild populations", says Peter Korsten, first author and a former member of Kempenaers' department.
Similar results in great tits and humans
To their surprise, the researchers found the association between the gene and the behaviour present in one population, but not in three others. "It was important to confirm the association between the DRD4 variants and exploratory behaviour in the original population", says Kempenaers, but he adds "We do not yet understand the differences between populations". However, the results mirror the outcome of similar research into gene-personality associations in humans, which also varies between populations. More than 30 studies confirmed that the DRD4 gene is associated with novelty seeking in humans, but large differences between populations were observed, and several studies did not find an effect. "Perhaps further investigation of great tit populations could shed some light on the differences in outcome in the human populations", says Peter Korsten. The difference between populations is perhaps not that surprising, given the small effect of the gene's variants on the behaviour, and may be explained by a strong influence of the environment or through the effects of other (still unknown) genes.

FAT mode pushes the saturation, generating more harmonics. With FAT mode engaged, you will perceive both headroom reduction and a more compressed sound.
Fat mode emphasizes low-end saturation and makes for a more aggressive sound.
In general, FAT mode is not recommended for use in conjunction with the method outlined in our "How to Use Satson As a Gain Staging Tool" manual section. However, you may find FAT mode useful on certain tracks: to "fatten up" a bass guitar or a digital synth, for example. We recommend using FAT mode judiciously. Consider the "trade-off" cost of the necessary loss in headroom before applying.

the query you have posted won't even write two records. It won't actually do anything.
Your 'FETCH NEXT FROM LateCountCursor ' line comes after your 'WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0' line, so the @@FetchStatus will be -1 (try print @@Fetch_Status to see). Because it is -1, the compiler will not even enter the while loop, therefore none of the code will be performed. Your 'FETCH NEXT FROM LateCountCursor ' line should come before the 'WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0' line to ensure that the code in the while loop is actually implemented.
As far as I know there is no tool that will allow you to step through TSQL code. SQL Server creates a query plan for the code before it is actually exectuted, and the sequence of events in that query plan does not neccesarily match the sequence of code.

Actually, @@FETCH_STATUS could be 0 depending on what
the status of the last FETCH was before gdo's code block was
started. Since @@FETCH_STATUS is global to all cursors in a
connection, it might be valid upon entry to tis code block.
I agree the condition checking of @@FETCH_STATUS needs to
be changed as you mentioned. Gdo might get two inserts performed
one call, then zero the next with the current setup.

If I understand correctly... 'Fetch Next' is required before the while loop and also inside the while loop after the insert statement.
By the way, about something else...
we installed outlook on the server which has SQL Server in order to use SQL Mail.
Server: Windows 2k and SQL Server 2k (They do not use Exchange Server, don't know if it has something something to do with it...)
The address book has been imported in outlook but we do not see outlook in the combobox of SQL Mail Configuration?
Any ideas?

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
--Paccar, Eaton Vance plan to issue extra cash dividends ahead of a possible U.S. "fiscal cliff" after year-end
--Tootsie Roll, Pike Electric also plan to issue special dividends this month
--Several companies are issuing extra dividends this month before possible tax increases take effect in 2013
(Adds Tootsie Roll's and Pike Electric's special dividends, updates share performance in final paragraphs.)
By Debbie Cai
Paccar Inc. (PCAR) and Eaton Vance Corp. (EV) said Tuesday they are issuing extra cash dividends, joining other companies looking to raise shareholder return ahead of the possible U.S. "fiscal cliff."
Paccar declared an extra dividend of 80 cents a share, payable on Dec. 28, citing strong results at the company. The payment will cost the manufacturer of Kenworth and Peterbilt heavy-duty commercial trucks about an extra $282 million. Paccar had about 353 million shares outstanding as of Oct. 31, according to regulatory filings.
Chief Executive Mark Pigott said good truck production world-wide, a robust aftermarket business and strong profits at the Paccar Financial Services business have driven the company's results this year.
The company also said it would issue its next regular quarterly dividend of 20 cents a share March 5.
In October, Paccar said its third-quarter earnings fell 17% as sales slid in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.
Eaton Vance's board declared a special dividend of $1 a share, payable on Dec. 20, that will cost the mutual-fund manager about an additional $115.2 million. The company had about 115.2 million shares outstanding as of July 31.
It said the special payment won't affect earnings, although earnings per diluted share might decline by about two cents in the fiscal first quarter next year.
The money manager also said it was issuing a regular quarterly dividend of 20 cents a share, payable on the same day as the special dividend.
Eaton Vance's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 13% as it benefited from increased assets under management and net inflows.
Tootsie Roll Industries Inc.'s (TR) declared a per-share special dividend of 50 cents, to be paid on Dec. 28. The payment will cost the candy company about $29.3 million extra. It had about 58.6 million shares outstanding as of Sept. 29.
The company also plans to issue its regular quarterly dividend of eight cents a share on Dec. 28. Its latest quarterly dividend payment was made in October.
Pike Electric Corp. (PIKE) also plans to issue a special dividend. Its board declared it would pay $1 a share on Dec. 21 due to strong fiscal first-quarter results.
The energy solutions company will fund the dividend, costing about $35.1 million, with debt. It expects positive cash flows from operating activities during the fiscal third quarter to be used to repay the debt. It had more than 35 million in outstanding shares as of Oct. 31.
Several companies have chosen to give one-time dividends or pull their regular payouts into the current year to avoid a potential dividend-tax increase in the U.S. in 2013 should a package of spending cuts and tax hikes come into effect.
Paccar's shares were up seven cents at $43.49 after hours Tuesday. The stock has risen 21% over the past six months.
Eaton Vance's shares were down four cents at $31.72 after hours. The stock has gained 37% over the past half year.
Tootsie Roll's shares were up 1% at $28.60 after hours, while Pike's shares were up 7.1% at $10.20.

The 2013 WRX/STi Order Thread
View Single Post
Evanston Subaru
Former Vendor
Join Date:
Jul 2009
3340 W. Oakton Skokie IL 60076
^^^^^ SICLOS: That is all accurate (kinda) as far as I know.
This is where the problem started:
In the beginning of this fiscal year (not model year) another dealer I will not name (but some here may know I have serious beef with from one of their salesmen impersonating a customer and lying about my dealership right here on this forum), decided to get crazy with pricing quotes here in Chicagoland. Prices that are just ridiculous.
They made it their goal to surpass us as the "#1 Dealer" in Illinois no matter what it took. Of course, we don't want to let that happen. At that time, sold orders did NOT come out of the cars each dealer "earned", rather the sold orders came off the top of the allocation for the entire region (mid west in this case). So dealers in theory could put in as many orders as they wanted, and it would not affect how many units you earned for "stock". This allowed any dealer to take advantage of the system and not be punished regardless of how many orders they had.
That is exactly what this dealer did. Ordering a HUGE amount of Imprezas and wrx/sti, which in turn was greatly reducing the number of "stock" units that our entire Region got (MidWest). They took advantage of a silly system. We had two choices:
1. Sit back and allow this to happen, reducing the number we "earn" and taking many customers from our market area.
2. Jump on board with their style of "selling" (if you can call it that) and match their prices and start putting orders in.
We chose the latter.
I reached out to this forum, offering silly prices to you guys, in order to try and keep up with them. Of course, many of you guys were happy this rivalry was taking place, as you got crazy cheap deals because of it. We had no problem giving these discounts because sold orders were looked at as just "bonus cars" for us and we would still be earning the normal amount for "stock".
I was NEVER a fan of having the system set up this way. NEVER. However, I wasn't just going to sit back and let another dealer take advantage of it and surpass us and take business out of my market (evanston,north chicago etc). I went with the "if you can't beat them, join them" philosophy. My owner was fighting hard to get the system changed so that sold orders DID come out of dealers "earned" cars.
Fast forward to August 15th, the day the order system opened for 2013MY. Subaru blind sides everyone that day announcing that Sold Orders will now count against your earned units. This obviously was an issue as we do not want to sell the few wrx/sti we get for these crazy prices. I immediately stopped quoting those very insane prices, but of course I would still honor the ones that I had quoted and already accepted orders on.
As of now I am nowhere near as aggressive as I was before. I still try and hook up nasiocers with great prices, but it has to be reasonable. This other dealer did not stop. While they still claim to offer those prices, they are probably SOOOOO backlogged with orders that their customers may not see cars for 6+ months. It is what it is though, and they have every right to do what they want. More power to them if they want to operate that way. I am in no position to tell them what to do.
Where the REAL issue is with SoA- They have not told any dealers how many cars they actually "earn", leaving us in the dark as far as how many puts us "over" our allocations. The concept of their new order system is AWESOME and exactly what needed to be done, but it was rushed. How can SoA expect us to give a customer an accurate timeline for delivery on orders, if we have not been told how many wrx/sti we even "earn" per month????? It is an issue they are trying to address now, but it is a little late, no? So now we are all scrambling.
Back in August, I was given an estimate (guess) of 8 units per month, and that is what I stuck to. I have only ordered ~18 wrx/sti over the past 2 months, which seemed reasonable but was apparently over my number. So 2 of my orders were put on "hold".
Moving on to posting the info here, and pricing here:
There was a miscommunication or misunderstanding between someone who should know the right answers, and myself. I was told that because this is a private forum, where you have to sign up to join (and I pay to be a vendor) that I could post whatever I wanted in regards to pricing.
This was an error. While you DO have to join to be a member of this forum, it can still be VIEWED by anyone. Therefor I had to comply with Subaru's pricing guidelines for advertizing. I was misinformed, and made a mistake. Since then I have removed everything I have the power to remove. I have even sent out PMs to others who must have saved/screencapped what I had posted asking them to remove it form posts. There is nothing more I can do to correct my mistake, and if those dealers want to pursue further action that is their perogative. I did everything I could to fix it once I was made aware of it.
I apologize to anyone who sells Subarus if you are reading this (except anyone at that one dealer that started this storm of crap pricing
). My intention was never to cut into your profits. I hope everyone can be understanding of this. I make mistakes, and I am human.
MOVING FORWARD: I am reducing the allowed distance from my store from 200 miles to 100 miles for who I can actually order a car for. My prcing will still be aggressive, but not insane nor stupid by any means (PM me
This whole situation has become the biggest stress in my career by FAR. If I could take a picture of my hair 3 months ago, vs now, you would see that it is having an impact on me. lol. Salt and pepper, and I recently got an ulcer as well as shingles (both triggered by stress). I am NOT happy with this situation, and feel terrible that I have angered dealers accross the country. If I could go back knowing what I know now, things would be different. I love being able to help out other true Subaru enthusiasts across the country. I am an enthusiast first, and a "car salesman" second. That said my career here is very important to me, and I never wanted to jeopardize that.
Thanks for listening and letting me rant. Again my sincerest apologies to anyone who was negatively affected by the way this has all gone down.

Since, this thread has been closed to new replies, I will edit my original post with a solution.
Within your LayerSlider -> slides -> global settings, there is a use relative URLs option. This should be disabled. Doing so will insert an absolute path to your images and also link URLs. After making this change you will need to re-select all the images in the slide, and re-save. Afterwhich, Duplicator seems to translate this correctly – or at least for the first few tests I've tried.
I use the duplicator plug-in to move from my test-site to the live site. This generally works without any issues.
However, I'm now using the Layerslider-WP and the image/thumbnail links within the layerslider do not appear to be translated correctly – admittedly this could be a duplicator issue! I also use an easyslider within the site, and these images and other images are translated without any problems,
After transferring the site, the webpage loads, but the LayerSlider stalls in the circle-of-death.
If I subsequently, edit the layer slider, click on each and every image used within the slider, and re-assign them from the media library, then it is ok. i.e., the images have been duplicated correctly, but the references are incorrect.
Re-save permalinks in duplicator doesn't appear to help.
For example, when moving from the live site – http://www.assc.org.uk to a local test site.
1) The slider works and images are referenced in LayerSlider-WP as /wp-content/uploads/2013/09/aed.png
2) After the duplication, the image is still referenced as /wp-content/uploads/2013/09/aed.png, but the image thumbview isn't found and contains a 'X'.
3) Clicking on the reference and re-selected the image from the library inserts http://127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/aed.png
which when saved becomes /wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/aed.png
Notice the extra 'wordpress' in the correct path – this is the directory used by the Instant WordPress test program that I'm using.
The setup on Duplicator changes http://www.assc.org.uk into http://127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress/ and so it should work automatically?
Moving from the test site to the live site suffers the same issue.
It seems specific to the layerslider on how its storing the image reference since other image references seem ok – or is it duplicator that is at fault?

Hey ChunkyBits!
We're not the authors/creators of LayerSlider (but Kreatura Media: http://codecanyon.net/item/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) /922100 ) and I'd suggest to ask this question in their support forum here: http://codecanyon.net/item/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) /discussion/922100 because this issue affects all LayerSlider users and is not limited to Enfold users. If they don't want to help you (because of license reasons, etc.) please bump this thread and I'll ask Kriesi to get in touch with the plugin author.
PeterSeptember 28, 2013 at 2:23 pm #167549
Hey chunkybits,
i have the "same" problem, my links change in the right direction when i make the transfer from my livesite to my localsite!
but from my local to my livesite, the links to my pics in the layerslider still the links to my lokalsite!
here is an answer from the support, you also see it in the faq`s there;
Hey Carsten,
Here is a helpful section on the FAQs page:
-> Browse To: lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq
-> Find Section: "2.Installer => Parts of my site did not update what should I do?"
-> If you discover a tweak/fix not on the FAQ please let me know and I will get it integrated into the plugin or on the FAQ.
Hope that helps!
but i don
t know what they in the first points want, i didnt check that, maybe it helps for your problem, blease let me know when you fix that.
nice weekend

Exit StrategyBook - 2017
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
I love the character Nick Mason. I could not wait to get this new book and read it. The story is well written and I couldn't wait to get to the end to see what would happen. Some characters died and I was glad; however some characters died and I was sad. I hope to see a new Nick Mason book out next year.
Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.
I've been a long time fan of Steve Hamilton's Alex McKnight series, so I was intrigued when the first Nick Mason book, The Second Life of Nick Mason was published. Nick Mason went to Supermax for a crime he had committed but he came to the attention and then the protection of Chicago crime boss Darius Cole. Cole arranged for Mason's sentence to be vacated. The price large, Cole now owned Mason body and soul. He also owned the soul of Nick's ex-wife and nine year old daughter.
So here we are to the second book. Which does not really do a great job of explaining the backstory. A bit more information would have made this a better read for those who are picking it up as a standalone.
Nick is now a hit-man for Darius Cole. Not a fun job to have on one's resume. Especially since he is going after Federally protected witnesses. Which puts him in direct conflict with the US Marshall's office. Not good. Besides having the of brains not wanting an entire federal agency devote the rest of their lives to running yo down, Nick has enough humanity left not to want to kill innocents.
Hamilton does a fabulous job in putting us on Mason's side. Especially since the people against him are decent upright women and men. But yes, we are rooting for Mason to kill some folks. Good writing there.
