Mysterious Tubular Clouds Defy Explanation
- 08.24.09
- Categories: Environment, Miscellaneous, Space
These long, crazy-looking clouds can grow to be 600 miles long and can move at up to 35 miles per hour, causing problems for aircraft even on windless days.
Known as Morning Glory clouds, they appear every fall over Burketown, Queensland, Australia, a remote town with fewer than 200 residents. A small number of pilots and tourists travel there each year in hopes of "cloud surfing" with the mysterious phenomenon.
Similar tubular shaped clouds called roll clouds appear in various places around the globe. But nobody has yet figured out what causes the Morning Glory clouds.
This shot was captured by photographer Mick Petroff from his plane near Australia's Gulf of Carpenteria.

There' s some information at How To: Root your Motorola DROID Bionic Read as much as you can about it.
Let me google that for you
Sorry but I had to.
Stock Droid Bionic. Lovin' the 4G.
OG Droid for my son to watch videos on, and not put sticky fingers onto my new phone.
Aaf put you on the right track for rooting the Bionic. I would like to add a few precautions:
1. After rooting your phone, DO NOT delete any apps!! You can rename the via Root Explorer (xxxx.apk to xxxx.apk.bak). That way you can change the name back if things do not go well without that app. Or you can freeze them with an app such as Titanium Backup. They can be unfrozen with the click of a button.
2. After you root, buy Bionic Bootstrapper from the market. You can then use it to install Clockworkmod Recovery and make a virgin backup. Make this backup prior to changing anything on your phone. This will allow you to restore back to this state easily.
Good luck and go slowly!!

Stop annoying me!!!
Its a million time better to break up a person's post and respond outside the quoted areas than it is to put your own words, even if bolded, into a quote that's attributed to someone else. Lets say you wanted to end up with something like this:
The correct/non annoying way to do this is to 1) hit the qoute button rather than the respond button. Everyone seems to have figured this out, but the next part is tricky so PAY ATTENTION. 2) Look at what the software gives you. You'll notice that you get the post to be quoted surrounded by things called quote tags. One at the beginning that will look like this: [QUOT=PatsFanInVa;452674] I changed the spelling of quote to quot so you could see what the tag looks like. That's right, you don't HAVE to hit the quote button to quote someone. You just have to use the proper code. You also have one at the end that looks like this: [/QUOT] Same thing with the spelling. You don't have to remember or even type that code. Copy/Paste is your friend here. Just Copy the beginning tag and the end tag and paste them wherever you want to 'cut in' so to speak and write whatever you want in between. If you do it right, the quoted post and your words will end up looking something like this in the reply window: [QUOT=PatsFanInVa;452674]By the way, if this needs to go to Religion, I am okay with that.[/QUOT] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [QUOT=PatsFanInVa;452674] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [/QUOT] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [QUOT=PatsFanInVa;452674] I figured we're pretty much still not straying from the history/politic of religion. [/QUOT] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [QUOTE=PatsFanInVa;452674]But I'm glad to take it elsewhere if anybody feels we are significantly straying from politics and into religion. PFnV[/QUOT] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Once again I changed the spelling of quote to quot so everyone could see what goes in the reply window. The XXXXX's represent what you'd want to say. Just remember the format. First comes the opening quote tag, then there's the individual part of the post you want to respond to, the the closing quote tag, then your own words and then simply repeat to the end. Many people struggle with who said what if you put your own words into the middle of someone else's. Its even more annoying and hard to understand when you put stuff in regular type at the end. You can also count on someone else coming along and quoting the whole F'ing thing and making it entirely impossible for anyone to understand what anyone else said. Flame wars are started this way. Everyone's consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. |
Re: Stop annoying me!!!
really a good point...
editing someone's quote, maliciously or innocently, alters the thread's integrity... let's just all agree to not do it... would be best, and avoid confusion at least... |
Re: Stop annoying me!!!
I think people do it because it's quicker. Most people are at work when they reply. I usually am.

Re: Stop annoying me!!!
Everybody's religious views, pro, con, or indifferent, come out in their politics. Always. Not even debatable. Extreme examples: Hitler was anti-religious, and it was reflected in his attacks against his neighbors, all in the name of the "new master race". Stalin laughed at religion: "How many divisions does the Pope have?" he sneered. Clinton carried a one-ton Bible but left it in on his desk at home; and it showed. Bush 43 carries a big Bible around, and reads it at home, sometimes misses a page or three; and it shows. Etc., etc. // |

Remember, Mitt believes in magic.
Excellent! and accurate, Ben.
Poor Sargent proving himdself an ignoramous again.
A little like the one from someone… And they all lived happily ever after, that's the only part he reads…
But still right on the money.
I think that people are so sick and tired of hearing Mitt saying "I know how to do it" without ever telling anybody how to do it that we don't even care anymore.
It's like that knock knock joke… Bananas, bananas who? Bananas bananas Knock knock
By the time Mitt gets to Orange -oo glad I didn't say bananas? We're going to be ready to throttle him.
Sargent is right, the four year olds are down the hall.
I'm hoping that Mitt's Bananas bananas joke will turn into the purple nurple joke. "And then came election day and he lost, the end"
Now I know what song I'm going to put up on the Clay Jones thread! -
this is the R&R plan tell us lies, tell us sweet little lies..
Old Mitt, once a used car salesman, always a used car salesman. Only driven on Sundays by a little old woman on her way to church.
Quite right, and I'm glad you pointed it out.
The kids are in the next caravan.
How could Sargent get that one wrong?
The 800,000 jobs lost a month in the last days of the Bush, Jr administration were because the job creators realized Obama would be president in '08 and knew they had to lay off workers until Obama was replaced by Romney, after which the US will have 20% lower taxes, full employment, a big budget surplus, and 50¢ gas.
This violates PhD mathematician and economist maths, but that's just because those PhDs don't have the intellectual capacity to understand gazillionaire job creator maths. -
Mitt's by-line is "You're just going to have to trust me on that."
no freaken way. -
Yeah, unlike yourself who evidently never learned anything and never forgot anything. Typical repuglican mindset.
Amen! And that eye popping out… Classic!
If you're going to call someone an ignoramus, you'll look less foolish if you don't misspell two out of seven words.
You can only trust the GOP to help millionaires, Wall Street, and business, everyone else, you are on your own. Except… they would like your vote.
Romney can dispel all of this controversy by sitting down with objective professionals who understand these things, NOT the media but certainly ppl all of the major news outlets trust, and show THEM the numbers. Swear them to secrecy, make them sign a non disclosure agreement until after the oath of office, and then let THEM tell us Romney has a viable idea.
Until the math adds up, both candidates are telling stories.
Republicans believe in job creators. You can't see them, but you know they're there, just like leprechauns.
And when you catch one, you'll get his pot o' jobs and lo, unemployment will be cured! -
Yeah! Willard has binders and binders full of objective professionals.

Comment: McCreevy leads from the front
In a resolute move, the European Commission has adopted a set of measures to strengthen the supervisory framework for EU financial markets in order to improve supervisory co-operation and convergence between member states and to reinforce financial stability.
Under the new rules, the Commission says, the three committees of EU regulators for the securities, banking, and insurance and pension sectors will benefit from a clearer operational framework and more efficient decision-making processes.
The move bears all the hallmarks of Charlie McCreevy, the internal market and services commissioner, who has proved very much his own man during his term in Brussels and has shown a welcome resistance to calls for the EU to clamp down on popular scapegoats for the ills of the financial markets such as hedge fund managers and private equity firms.
His initiative to strengthen the existing framework for regulatory co-operation within the EU will be watched closely to see whether it presages a deepening of the Commission's role in the continent's financial regulation.
The Commission also says that the committees of regulators, as well as other bodies involved in the standard-setting process for financial reporting and auditing at both European and international level, should receive financial support from the EU budget to help them achieve their objectives as rapidly and efficiently as possible.
McCreevy's proposal will now pass to the European Council and European Parliament for consideration, and with tighter regulation throughout the financial industry now regarded as a near-certainty, it is likely to receive swift approval. So far, so good - but what comes next?

Abstract: Recently, we described a simplified injection method for producing transgenic pigs using a non-autonomous Sleeping Beauty transposon system. The founder animals showed ubiquitous expression of the Venus fluorophore in almost all cell types. To assess, whether expression of the reporter fluorophore affects animal welfare or fecundity, we analyzed reproductive parameters of two founder boars, germ line transmission, and organ and cell specific transgene expression in animals of the F1 and F2 generation. Molecular analysis of ejaculated sperm cells suggested three monomeric integrations of the Venus transposon in both founders. To test germ line transmission of the three monomeric transposon integrations, wild-type sows were artificially inseminated. The offspring were nursed to sexual maturity and hemizygous lines were established. A clear segregation of the monomeric transposons following the Mendelian rules was observed in the F1 and F2 offspring. Apparently, almost all somatic cells, as well as oocytes and spermatozoa, expressed the Venus fluorophore at cell-type specific levels. No detrimental effects of Venus expression on animal health or fecundity were found. Importantly, all hemizygous lines expressed the fluorophore in comparable levels, and no case of transgene silencing or variegated expression was found after germ line transmission, suggesting that the insertions occurred at transcriptionally permissive loci. The results show that Sleeping Beauty transposase-catalyzed transposition is a promising approach for stable genetic modification of the pig genome.

- County approves freeze on creating new staff positions
A referendum on electing Buncombe County commissioners by district will not be on the ballot come November. A motion by Chair Nathan Ramsey calling for a referendum on both district elections and expanding the board to seven members failed when no one would second it during the commissioners' Aug. 5 meeting.
After briefly outlining some arguments for district elections, such as greater local representation, Ramsey urged his colleagues to let voters decide the matter.
"Currently, there has not been a commissioner who has lived west of the French Broad River for 20 years," he said. "There hasn't been a commissioner who's lived north of the city limits in 16 years. It has been over 30 years since we changed the method of electing commissioners. Our population has grown significantly: Today, there's almost 45,000 people for each commissioner. We should give our citizens the chance to decide whether they think this is a good idea or a bad idea."
Ramsey, whose re-election bid is being challenged by Vice Chair David Gantt, denied having political reasons for his proposal.
"Perhaps I should have done it earlier," he said. "Maybe we should have done it a long time ago, but we need to go forward with it sometime." Ramsey said the districts could be roughly based on the county's school districts, though by law they would have to have approximately equal populations at the time they were drawn.
None of the other commissioners indicated their reasons for declining to second Ramsey's motion.
Asked about it later, Gantt said he felt Ramsey's move was "political posturing" and that he'd refused to second the motion because there wasn't time to discuss the matter.
"We would need to have public hearings before we even discussed putting this on the ballot," said Gantt. "It's a big deal to change the way we've elected commissioners for over 100 years, and the worst time to do that is right before election time."
Ten years ago, he noted, a committee headed by former Commissioner John Daniel had concluded that there was no need to switch to district elections.
"In those 10 years, I've heard about it from two people," said Gantt. "At conventions, when you talk to people from places that have district elections, they say that the best people don't win -- that it's a quota system. In this increasingly global time, I don't see much point in splitting the county up into different neighborhoods. Now, reasonable people can differ on this, but the way to bring it up is not out of left field like this."
Gantt also said that Ramsey had broken a tradition among the commissioners of not putting an item on the agenda unless it was sure of a second.
Earlier in the meeting, several county residents emphatically endorsed district elections -- or at least putting the matter on the ballot.
"We need this," Swannanoa resident Eric Gorny told the board. "I believe you know it's the right thing to do. Swannanoa's trying to incorporate, and one of the arguments [proponents] bring up constantly is that there hasn't been a commissioner from there since 1956. It is an underrepresented area; it is not perceived that you are representing us," the longtime political activist asserted. "Look at the floods of 2004: There's still buildings in wreckage in 2008. This is a way we can address that. It's not a partisan issue -- it's about right and wrong. What we have now is wrong."
Leicester resident Peggy Bennett of Citizens for Change brandished bumper stickers proclaiming, "Erwin-Leicester needs a commissioner."
"This has been an issue for us for several years, and we have hopes for getting it on the ballot," said Bennett. "This is not an election-year ploy by Chairman Ramsey; it's an election-year campaign by the people you're supposed to represent. For years, the majority of commissioners have lived within the city. We feel the county is not well served when the commissioners come from just a few neighborhoods. Put it on the ballot: Let the people vote."
Why so few meetings?
by David Forbes
The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners won't meet again until Sept. 3, and there were no meetings in July. That means that between June 24 and Sept. 3, the commissioners will have met exactly once, on Aug. 5.
Usually, the board meets twice a month. But the fact that this is an election year for state and national offices has complicated things, Vice Chair David Gantt explained.
Commissioner Carol Peterson, a Democratic Party superdelegate, will be in Denver Aug. 25-28 attending the party's national convention. Commissioners Bill Stanley and David Young will also be attending conventions during August.
"I think me and [board Chair Nathan Ramsey] might still be in town, but that's about it," Gantt said with a chuckle. There were no meetings in July, he explained, due to vacations and Stanley's attending the National Association of Counties annual conference in Kansas City, Mo.
"We try to be pretty accommodating to each other's schedules," Gantt noted. "We could have a meeting with only three commissioners there, but we wouldn't want to."
Clerk to the Board Kathy Hughes said that between commissioners attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver and being out of town for other purposes, "it wasn't possible to get a quorum for the Aug. 19 meeting. But they'll be here for every meeting until the election."
Bennett also maintained that district elections would cut down "on the obscene costs of running a campaign."
Candler resident Kathy Rhodarmer said she doesn't "understand why it's so hard to let people vote. It seems very paternalistic. ... It's sort of looking down on folks when you tell them they can't vote on it."
Enka resident Jerry Rice, another regular at Board of Commissioners meetings, said the commissioners have a better chance of understanding local issues when at least one of them comes from the area in question. Rice also issued a warning to the board, declaring: "You didn't even know about the Enka smokestacks until they were gone. I hope we see this on the ballot -- and, God help us, I'd like to see all of you out of here."
No new staff positions
The commissioners also unanimously endorsed a freeze on adding new staff positions for the remainder of the fiscal year, which runs through June 30, 2009. Currently vacant existing positions can still be filled, however.
Tough economic times make the measure a necessity, said County Manager Wanda Greene. "We're seeing a lot of citizens in pain, and increasing workloads in a number of departments," she told the board. "We're tightening our belts to make sure we can manage anything that comes with a further downturn in the economy."
The resolution, noted Greene, also allows vacancies to be reclassified as a different job or moved to a different department "to meet expanded or changing needs."
"Why are we not placing a freeze on all positions -- including the vacant ones?" wondered Ramsey.
That, Greene replied, would be going too far. "There aren't that many, for one thing, and some we have to fill," she explained. "We're down to thin staffing in all of our departments. We're looking very closely at doing hiring delays in noncore services. But to do a hard hiring freeze ... when we've worked as hard as we can to make sure we're appropriately staffed -- it's just not the right time."
Praising Greene and the staff for "doing a great job," Commissioner David Young made a motion to institute the freeze.

WebGL and OpenGL Differences
WebGL is based on the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification, and retains the semantics of OpenGL ES in order to maximize portability to mobile devices. There are some significant differences in behavior of similar APIs between OpenGL ES 2.0 and the OpenGL API on desktop systems. Many OpenGL programmers are familiar with the semantics on the desktop, and may not know about these differences in behavior. We highlight them here for clarity.
Non-Power of Two Texture Support
While OpenGL 2.0 and later for the desktop offer full support for non-power-of-two (NPOT) textures, OpenGL ES 2.0 and WebGL have only limited NPOT support. The restrictions are defined in Sections 3.8.2, "Shader Execution", and 3.7.11, "Mipmap Generation", of the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification, and are summarized here:
- generateMipmap(target) generates an INVALID_OPERATION error if the level 0 image of the texture currently bound to target has an NPOT width or height.
- Sampling an NPOT texture in a shader will produce the RGBA color (0, 0, 0, 1) if:
- The minification filter is set to anything but NEAREST or LINEAR: in other words, if it uses one of the mipmapped filters.
- The repeat mode is set to anything but CLAMP_TO_EDGE; repeating NPOT textures are not supported.
If your application doesn't require the REPEAT wrap mode, and can tolerate the lack of mipmaps, then you can simply configure the WebGLTexture object appropriately at creation time:
var texture = gl.createTexture(); gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture); gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR); gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE); gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
However, if your application requires the REPEAT wrap mode for correctness, you can easily resize the image to the next largest power of two dimensions using DOM APIs. Here is an example of how to do this. image is an HTML image object that has been fully loaded; its onload handler has already been called.
function createTextureFromImage(image) { var texture = gl.createTexture(); gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture); if (!isPowerOfTwo(image.width) || !isPowerOfTwo(image.height)) { // Scale up the texture to the next highest power of two dimensions. var canvas = document.createElement("canvas"); canvas.width = nextHighestPowerOfTwo(image.width); canvas.height = nextHighestPowerOfTwo(image.height); var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, image.width, image.height); image = canvas; } gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.RGBA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, image); gl.generateMipmap(gl.TEXTURE_2D); gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, null); return texture; } function isPowerOfTwo(x) { return (x & (x - 1)) == 0; } function nextHighestPowerOfTwo(x) { --x; for (var i = 1; i < 32; i <<= 1) { x = x | x >> i; } return x + 1; }
If your application allows, you can also resize your source images offline.
Vertex Attribute 0
On desktop GL, vertex attribute 0 has special semantics. First, it must be enabled as an array, or no geometry will be drawn. Second, it does not have persistent state, so calling glGetVertexAttribfv(0, GL_CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB, ...) generates an OpenGL error.
On OpenGL ES 2.0, vertex attribute 0 has no special semantics.
WebGL follows the OpenGL ES 2.0 convention; all vertex attributes behave identically. This requires implementations on desktop GL to perform a certain amount of emulation, but this was considered to be a small price to pay for consistent behavior.
No double-precision floating-point support
OpenGL ES 2.0 does not support the GL_DOUBLE data type, either for vertex attributes or texture data. This means that the Typed Array view type Float64Array is not currently useful in conjunction with the WebGL API.
No 3D Texture support
OpenGL ES 2.0 does not support 3D textures. It is possible to emulate 3D textures with 2D textures.
// tex is a texture with each slice of the cube placed horizontally across the texture. // texCoord is a 3d texture coord // size is the size if the cube in pixels. vec4 sampleAs3DTexture(sampler2D tex, vec3 texCoord, float size) { float sliceSize = 1.0 / size; // space of 1 slice float slicePixelSize = sliceSize / size; // space of 1 pixel float sliceInnerSize = slicePixelSize * (size - 1.0); // space of size pixels float zSlice0 = min(floor(texCoord.z * size), size - 1.0); float zSlice1 = min(zSlice0 + 1.0, size - 1.0); float xOffset = slicePixelSize * 0.5 + texCoord.x * sliceInnerSize; float s0 = xOffset + (zSlice0 * sliceSize); float s1 = xOffset + (zSlice1 * sliceSize); vec4 slice0Color = texture2D(tex, vec2(s0, texCoord.y)); vec4 slice1Color = texture2D(tex, vec2(s1, texCoord.y)); float zOffset = mod(texCoord.z * size, 1.0); return mix(slice0Color, slice1Color, zOffset); }
You can see this in use in this sample. There's an explanation of how it works here.
GLSL texture functions that end in "Lod" (eg texture2DLod) are only permitted in the vertex shader.
Precision Qualifiers
Precision qualifiers for variables in shaders are significant in GLSL ES. In contrast, on desktop systems, the maximum precision is often used even for lower-precision variables. This implies that the effects of precision qualifiers can often only be seen by testing content on mobile devices.
Per the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification, the built-in macro GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH is defined to one on systems supporting highp precision in the fragment language. Developers wishing to use the highest available precision in their fragment shaders are encouraged to write:
#ifdef GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH precision highp float; #else precision mediump float; #endif
Otherwise, if the highest precision is not absolutely required, then this unconditional declaration in the fragment shader:
precision mediump float;
will achieve the best portability. Testing should still be done on mobile devices to ensure no rendering artifacts are visible because of the use of lower precision than on desktop systems.

The Right to Remain Silent... For a 3 Count: Best Wrestler Mug Shots
By Dave Walker ,
With the news of yet another arrest in the career of Scott Hall, I got to thinking about who in the wrestling business has been cuffed and stuffed, and who out of this elite group has the best mug shots.
What I can tell you is that there are several that are moderately funny, while others not so much.
None of them however reach the pinnacle of the Nick Nolte mug (pictured above) that combines Hawaiian shirt, drunken confused look, and greasy white man afro.
I have taken the liberty of gathering the best of what I could find, and in no particular order I give you the best sports entertainers that have ever entertained while in lockup.
At least I hope they were entertaining and not something else.....
"What about me? What about Kanyon?"
Well, Chris you are first on the list with your disorderly conduct arrest in Tampa back in 2004. There is nothing really funny about the incident as he was said to be breaking up a fight.
What struck me as funny about this incident was that a fellow wrestler named Altar Boy Luke bailed him out for $750.
Either way this mid carder from the WCW crap and WWE watered down Invasion era looks none too pleased in his mug.
Evidently he was not thrilled with the fact they had no champagne for the man nicknamed that. I guess Kanyon was hoping that there was so that there would be no sex in the champagne room.
Well a guy named Dirty Dick Slater going to jail probably doesn't surprise a lot of people.
He wrestled through the 70's, 80's, and 90's for many promotions both big and small. What's more remarkable than his in ring career is the stuff that happened outside of it.
In the early 1980's Slater was actually shot during a bar fight. By who you may ask? Another fellow wrestler by the name of Wahoo McDaniel.
During an altercation in a Tampa bar, someone had made a comment about Tommy Rich's wife and had grabbed a knife. Wahoo had no intentions of being scalped so he said the hell with it and grabbed a gun.
Wahoo pistol-whipped the man, and as he did the gun went off shooting Dirty Dick. When police arrived, Slater said, "A sniper got me."
Wow! It doesn't get much more F-d up than that, or does it.
The mug pictured above is from his 2004 arrest for stabbing his girlfriend with a butcher's knife. Yep, I said butcher's knife.
Evidently ol' Dicky was all hopped up on morphine and oxy's when his girlfriend must have pissed him off. He doesn't recall what sparked his rage or what even happened. He has been quoted as saying,
"It was all drug related... most of it all. I couldn't tell you what happened."
He was sentenced to one year's house arrest and 2 years probation for the offense. I guess when your named Dirty Dick you can get away with stabbing someone with a butcher's knife.
I think this mug says tortured chef that ended up never learning to cook and taking it out on his ol' lady with the knife he so desperately wanted to use for something useful...
The five time, five time, five time WCW champion Booker T has done time. His felony offense ranks up there with some of the better ghetto capers I have ever heard.
Living in the hood of Houston, Booker Huffman had no choice but to pull an Eddie Guerrero and Lie, cheat, and steal. He and his buddies had this great idea, let's rob the place where we work.
As an employee of a local Wendy's, he and his three buddies decided that minimum wage and free jr. cheeseburgers weren't enough for all their hard work. So, one night they decided to rob the place.
The problem with the plan, you ask? They robbed the place while still in their Wendy's uniforms. Wow!
Police saw the surveillance tapes and figured it was an inside job (duh). King Booker was arrested along with his court and sentenced to five years in the joint.
The Book only did about 19 months and soon after he began his journey into the biz.
Wendy's founder Dave Thomas was never much of a fan of Harlem Heat due to the incident...
As a former cameraman, this next incident scares the bejesus out of me. I mean, who wouldn't be scared of a 600-pound pissed-off Giant.
The WWF was in Linn County, Iowa (Cedar Rapids) on this beautiful evening back in 1989. One of the matches from this house show was Andre the Giant taking on the Ultimate Warrior. WWF televison was trying to build up an angle of whether the Warrior could slam Andre?
At many house shows they had let the Warrior slam Andre, in preparation for a hyped pay-per-view event. Well, one of the local TV camera men was told to not shoot anything from the match, and definitely not shoot Andre being body slammed, and he agreed. He shot the match, which enraged Andre.
Afterwards Andre came over, pulled the cables out of this poor Iowegian's camera and put the poor bastard in a head lock. I can only imagine the smell that came from under the Giant's underarms.
Either way Andre was cuffed and stuffed and charged with assault. The camera guys head luckily didn't explode and went on to start a storyline as Eugene in WWE...
When you hear the glass, someone's ass is going to jail. That was the case back in 2002 when police were called out to Austin's San Antonio home.
Allegedly he was on what his then-wife Debra called a "roid rage." Police found her with bruises on her arm and Austin was sent to jail.
Judging by the mug shot, he knew where he was heading and dressed accordingly. I have not seen a lot of people already in orange when they get to jail. Nice fashion statement, Steveweiser!
The Big Show was arrested back in 1998 for doing something that makes me laugh so hard it is hard to type. He showed his BIG SHOW to a female motel employee in Memphis after a show.
I can only speculate on why he did this. Maybe he was drunk? Maybe he was bored? But, I think it was because Hollywood told him to and threatened to beat him with his belt if he didn't.
Again, this is just specualtion, but I also think it could have been an angle they wanted to run. I am sure WCW was jealous of the naked Mideon at the time.
The criminal case was later dropped, as was the employee's mouth after she saw what the show was all about.
Jerry Lawler should be proud of his little boy.
Brian Lawler, AKA Grand Master Sexay was part of a very popular tag team, Too Cool, back in the late 90's and early 2000's in the WWF.
But, that was then, and the mug shot above is now.
Lawler was arrested for for disorderly conduct back in February 2009 and followed that up with a public intox in June of the same year. He was later given his dad's crown and declared the biggest douche on the indy circuit.
In this picture above notice the black eye. I think he got beat up in jail for wearing a Big Bird-yellow shirt and smelling of King Cobra.
Again, this is just speculation, but he definitely was hopped up on some cheap 7 eleven booze on this night.
There is no way I could resist this one.
"Hey yo, you come to see WCW? Or did you come out to see me get loaded, break shit, and resist arrest? Yet another one for the Bad Guy!"
At least I can picture him saying that a few weeks ago when he was arrested yet again for public intoxication.
According to police, he became aggressive with a female bartender and customers, and eventually punched the window out on the car that was arranged for him to be driven home in.
When police arrived he was slurring and cursing and vintage WCW'ing the hell out of it. Unfortunately the cops that showed up were real and not actors and took the bad guy to the Seminole County jail's drunk tank.
Reports from inside the jail say that Hall wanted to know where his "wolfpac" was and if anybody had told Hot Rod who the new U.S. Champ was. All joking aside, it is sad to see this guy not be able to get his life together.
This next guy has as many arrests as anyone in the business. The picture above I believe is from his 2003 DUI where they found him slumped over the wheel after rear ending a car. The Narcissist also had a 9mm in his car, which is just what this guy needed.
A few days prior to the incident he was arrested for battery after allegedly beating his live in girlfriend Miss Elizabeth. Cobb County officials say that she had two black eyes and a bump on her head. I am hoping the Big Boss Man came to the house and beat Luger with his night stick.
Luger was also initially linked to Miss Elizabeth's death a few weeks later when they found a small pharmaceutical company in their town home. The charges were later dropped as the incident was ruled an accident. He did however receive probation for the drug possession.
Then, if all of that wasn't enough, he was removed from a flight in 2005 with fellow wrestlers Buff Bagwell and Scott Steiner after TSA realized he was a wanted man for an outstanding felony. He did his time, and last time I saw him he was on the 700 club talking about the Jebus.
WOOOOOO! He is the limosine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin, wheelin', dealin', sonofabitch! The Nature Boy Ric Flair! WOOOO!
Ric got in soem trouble back in 2005 after a road rage incident in Charlotte. According to reports he allegedly got out of his car, grabbed the driver by his neck, and kicked in the door. There were no details as to whether he strutted and yelled wooo after the incident.
Falir was picked up and booked on simple assault charges and later released. Then WWE writers had the great idea to include this as an angle with his pending feud with Edge.
I don't remember it too well, but I am sure it was a poorly shot, poorly produced piece that no one cared about, but hey, it's pro wrestling, what can you expect?
I think this mug shot says my hair is so white that it is really transparent, and the cut on my nose is from me bumping my head while woooing into the mirror.
I know it is not fun to poke fun at some of these guys, but come on! Really! Guys like Hall and Luger truly are victims of addiction, while a guy like Booker T is just a victim of the street. But these other guys have no reason to be on here.
When you are a big wrestling superstar you should act like it. I never saw Joe Montana put a camera man in a head lock. Kobe Bryant hasn't tried to stab his wife with a butcher knife yet, or if so we don't know about it. I have never heard of Peyton Manning showing his junk to a chick at the front desk of the Holiday Inn.
It is sad to see how many wrestlers end up with a rap sheet. These guys have the world as their oyster and decide to piss it all away by beating wifes and doind drugs. In my opinion it is just unacceptable and they should live their lives like it is real, and not scripted.
But, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.....

Signet DryLoc pH and ORP sensors
GF Piping Systems
Date Submitted:
May 27, 2009
Signet DryLoc pH and ORP sensors
The Signet DryLoc pH/ORP Sensors, Models 2724 − 2726, feature a unique foul-proof DryLoc connector and robust Ryton sensor body, providing expanded chemical compatibility for use in a wide range of applications. The new threaded process connection design provides flexible mounting choices for easy installation in Georg Fischer and industry-standard threaded fittings and Signet fittings. The Ryton sensor body is a recognized material for pH/ORP applications, and ensures robust strength and exceptional chemical characteristics. The sensor¡¯s patented DryLoc connector is manufactured with corrosion resistant gold plated pins and is part of the Signet DryLoc system, which connects a sensor to a preamplifier while resisting moisture and dirt intrusion. A key feature of the DryLoc is the positive ¡°clicking¡± sound when connected to the preamplifier to insure a water-tight connection. All Signet DryLoc preamplifiers can be used with any Signet pH or ORP instrument and include electronics with 4 to 20 mA output for connection to PLC¡¯s, SCADA systems, etc. The new pH/ORP Sensors mount into standard Signet 0.50 inch to 4 inch fittings as well as into Georg Fischer tees and off-the-shelf reducing tees of ¨ú inch or larger. Retrofitting into existing ¨ú inch tees or into 1 inch tees is easy to do by using a reducer bushing. This installation versatility makes virtually any manufacturer¡¯s sensor simple and easy to replace when coupled with the Signet 2760 DryLoc connector, which can hook up to other manufacturers instruments (with internal preamplifiers). The intelligent positioning of an internal temperature element is embedded in the pH and ORP sensing elements, giving a quick temperature response for a highly responsive measurement. The choice of a PT-1000 or 3K¥Ø temperature sensor allows compatibility with all Signet pH/ORP instruments and is designed specifically for use with the Signet 2750 Sensor Electronics and 2760 preamplifiers. Sensing elements are available in various configurations: The flat pH and ORP versions allow sediment and particles to sweep past the measurement surface, minimizing the risks of abrasion, breakage and coating. The bulb pH version can be used for general purpose applications. There are two unique sensing versions, HF and LC, available. The HF version is for applications where hydrofluoric acid is present at trace (less than 2%) amounts in pH levels below 6 pH. The LC version can be used for low conductivity fluids (not less than 20 uS/cm).ISA Partner Spotlight

My customer wanted a wedding dress that wasn't too wedding-y if that makes sense. She showed me pages of ideas all with lots of lace and this was the final creation.
The lace parts were a very organic process as I had to buy in lots of antique lace, see what we had and see what looked good together.
Amazingly the lace we used actually matched…it was ment to be :)
I used vogue options pattern no v8766 as a base….the back and sleeves were draped on as was the lace front bodice. I also re drafted the skirt which was a full skirt but the customer found it too heavy so the lining and the underlining were scaled down to a 3/4 circle. leaving the chiffon at full.
covered 11mm buttons in the satin and used hook and eyes where the zip ended up to the neck line. the edge of the chiffon back was faced using vintage silk bias tape from my old sewing box collection
Antique lace (pre-Victorian)- probably cotton or silk?
dark gold silk chiffon (underling has changed the colour some what)
crepe satin probably polyester
Polyester lining
hand made buttons

Happy New Year!!!!!! 2014
Here are a few videos from the dyno. [media] [media] [media] [media]
Got to tune a friends car today up at True Street Motorsports in McKinney, TX. Also took a few pictures while I was there. The car is a 93 Cobra...
Thanks all. I will try to get some video this weekend.
Thanks. Yes. I didn't want to cut up the factory rear bumper cover and I already had the CS valence so the 2012 GT500 Axle Back worked for me. There...
Got a new GT500 axle back off Craigslist so I figued I would take a few pics while I was out cruising around. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Happy New Year 2013!

Old Set Up. [IMG] New Set Up. (Still in the works) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Finally has a cage too! [IMG]
[IMG] That was only when going out to have fun. Here is the street set up. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Sorry for the delay. Found some old pics. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Been here since 2002. Lol Sorry for the mix up James!
Thanks James. I saw the video of you winning. Congratulations! I'm not sure what I would have done if I won a car! I went with suspension mods...
Because of the factory 3 link suspension, you will need an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the axle. I have the Pro Kit on my car as well, but...
You have to install the GT500 rear valence to go with it, but it is an easy swap. I would just sell my CS rear valence as it is in demand as well.
Nice upgrade. I am thinking about going with the 2013 "Quad Tip" GT500 set up on my car.
ximportdriver, I use the XCal 3 handheld tuner. I also do all my own tuning using SCT's Pro Racer Package. Hope this helps.

Geoscientists with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines have confirmed what many prospectors and geologists have suspected for years - Ontario is a prosperous region for diamond exploration. This affirmation has stirred a renewed interest in diamond exploration in Northern Ontario and has prompted a number of private sector companies to launch exploratory programs throughout the North, says Tom Morris, a quaternary quaternary /qua·ter·nary/ (kwah´ter-nar?e) 1. fourth in order. 2. containing four elements or groups. qua·ter·nar·y adj. 1. Consisting of four; in fours. geologist with the MNDM MNDM Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (Ontario) . "Ontario is an excellent prospect for exploration and has the potential for diamond mines," Morris says. "Not a lot of people were aware of that years ago." In 1993, the MNDM launched the first in a series of mineral sampling and geophysical surveys to determine the potential for diamond mining in Northern Ontario. The target exploration areas extend from Wawa to Kapuskasing to the James Bay James Bay, shallow southern arm of Hudson Bay, c.300 mi (480 km) long and 140 mi (230 km) wide, E central Canada, in Nunavut Territory between Ont. and Que. Numerous rivers flow into the bay; many of these have been developed for hydroelectric power in Quebec (see Lowlands, Wawa being the first target area in 1993. In 1991, a prospector panning out stream sediments in Wawa came across kimberlite kimberlite: see diamond. kimberlite or blue ground Dark, heavy, often fragmented igneous rock that may contain diamonds in the rock matrix. type grains.

Less than 30 per cent of kimberiltes contain diamonds and fewer than one in 200 of the world's found kimberlites have been developed into mines. Of the approximate 300 kimberlites so far discovered in Canada, about 15 may be economic. A team of geologists with the MNDM surveyed the Wawa area and determined the grams were in fact "exceptional" diamond-bearing kimberlite type rock, he adds. Further studies also indicated the grains, generally stream deposits, were locally derived. As a quaternary geologist, Morris' studies have been focused on overburden primarily associated with the last glaciation to determine whether or not kimberlite indicators are actually embedded in the bedrock, as opposed to being transported from other areas. "The key to all of this exploration is that we (the geoscientists) have proven there certainly are diamonds in the rock," Morris says. Following evaluations in Wawa, the MNDM proceeded with a similar exploration project in Kapuskasing, River Valley and the Terrace Bay area and will be releasing results of studies conducted in the Temagami area this spring. The average cost of mineral sampling and processing within each area is about $100,000. The focus in diamond exploration shifted from the Northwest Territories Northwest Territories, territory (2001 pop. 37,360), 532,643 sq mi (1,379,028 sq km), NW Canada. The Northwest Territories lie W of Nunavut, N of lat. 60°N, and E of Yukon. where Canada's first economic diamond deposit was discovered in 1991 in the Lac de Gras Lac de Gras is a lake approximately 300 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Lac de Gras was the centre of the Canadian diamond rush of the 1990s. There are two working diamond mines in the area, Ekati Diamond Mine, and Diavik Diamond Mine. region, to Ontario following the groundwork of the MNDM. De Beers Canada Corp., a Canadian company which has been doing diamond exploration in Canada for the past 40 years, entered into advanced exploration stages on the Victor pipe project near Attawapiskat last year. The Victor pipe project is to date the closest one to coming through with a diamond mine in Ontario, says Morris. However, to bring a diamond mine from initial exploration stages into production could take up to 12 years, he adds. Although kimberlite indicators had first been discovered near Attawapiskat between 1988 and 1989, De Beers Canada Corp. did not begin detailed exploration in the area until 1997, says Jonathan Fowler, De Beers Canada Corp. chief geologist for projects. The deposit discovered by De Beers Canada Corp. is within a cluster of 16 kimberlites located approximately 90 kilometres west of Attawapiskat. Advanced exploration at Victor pipe entails testing of 10,000-tonne bulk samples of kimberlite indicator rock. During the course of summer 2000, an on-site mill operation processed about 250 tonnes of rock sample daily. The evaluation study will determine the concentration of diamonds in the rock and whether or not there are enough diamonds to support a mine, he explains. "We have to establish what the value of the diamonds are, and in order to do that we need to collect large enough samples, about 2000 carats, to get an idea about the average value," Fowler says. About 250 tons of processed kimberlite ore are required to produce a One-carat gem quality polished diamond. Following advanced exploration, the company will proceed with a feasibility study "A Feasibility Study" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 13 April, 1964, during the first season. It was remade in 1997 as part of the revived The Outer Limits series with a minor title change. to determine the viability of a diamond mine in Attawapiskat, The company is anticipating the feasibility study will be completed by the end of the year. De Beers Canada Corp. consolidated some of its offices to Sudbury where Northern Ontario projects are overseen. MIT MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ventures, a Vancouver-based junior mining company, has been putting together a portfolio of potential diamond properties in Northern Ontario over the last year. The company has staked out between 300 to 400 claims throughout New Liskeard, Temagami and Wawa, says Scott Jobin-Bevans, a consulting geologist for MIT Ventures. Kimberlite samples from target areas have been processed and the data is now being compiled and reviewed. The company is gearing up to do an exploration program which will involve overburden sampling and geophysical surveys to define anomalous areas, he adds. While it's too soon to predict whether or not one of the three areas holds the potential for a diamond mine, results to date have been positive, he adds. "The work the MNDM has been instrumental in keeping diamond exploration going in Northern Ontario," Jobin-Bevans says. "There's been a renewed interest in exploration. I think you have to believe it when you see it and we're quite confident Ontario diamonds will start to fly." In the 1980's, prospectors had found some of the chemical properties of indicator minerals in these potential target areas, but weren't finding gem quality diamonds, he adds. Today, geologists are locating many of the diamondiferous kimberlite, t and much of this can be attributed to the use of technology which allows diamond drilling to reach, greater depths through the bedrock, he adds.

With this new acquisition, TJ now has multiple prospects in this world-class uranium district. Management is currently formulating a plan to investigate this new prospect, as well as looking to build on the Company's assets and possibly acquiring additional ones.
TAD's main prospects are as follows: (a) multiple prospects located in the world renowned uranium district of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan in close proximity to the Fission Uranium Corp (FCU) Patterson Lake South discovery and bordering NexGen Energy Ltd (NXE); (b) another prospect is the Iskut copper/gold prospect near Colorado Resource's (CXO) 'North Rok' discovery in British Columbia; (c) an additional project the "Constance Lake" hydrothermal graphite prospect borders Zenyatta Ventures Ltd.'s recently discovered deposit; and (d) the new hydrothermal graphite prospect announced today which was acquired via staking.
If you wish to be added to TAD's information list, please send an email to tad email@example.com
