A Huge Disappointment

Comments about Guide to the State Parks of the United States, 3rd edition:
I ordered this book because we are avid users of the Connecticut state parks and want to explore more in our own state and New England. The very few parks mentioned for each state seem to have been chosen at random, and the books ignores many wonderful parks. It is a pretty useless reference. NG would have served us much better with regional editions that were detailed and include all the parks.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Move MacArthur Park building to golf course?

Here's an idea. Let's stop over-building downtown. Leave the building where it is. We don't need another office building and we don't need another theater.
on Jul 24, 2012 at 10:55 am
Haven't been to the old Julia Morgan building in several years but I wonder if it's worth "keeping," a.k.a. "moving." Granted she was a great architect and the face that it has stayed with us is remarkable, but this was not her finest building.

@Crescent Park Dad:
While I'm not a Palo Alto citizen, I will point out that downtown Palo Alto's office space occupancy is very, very high. The lack of available office space forces companies -- particularly startups -- to consider other cities like Mountain View or Sunnyvale.
As mentioned in an earlier article TheatreWorks is looking for a home base. They currently perform at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (capacity 600) and the smaller Lucie Stern Theater in Palo Alto (capacity ~400).
Web Link
Now as a Mountain View resident, I am happy to have ticket tax revenue drop into my city's coffers, but this is not an ideal situation for TheatreWorks.

Williamsport Update
Pool play is nearly complete in the District 15 Williamsport Little League Tournament and two Cape Ann teams are still alive in the competition.
Manchester Essex has already clinched a spot in the double-elimination round sporting a 2-0 record in pool play. Manchester Essex will move on regardless of the outcome of Friday's game against Gloucester National (7:30 p.m., Sweeney Park, Manchester), who has been eliminated with a record of 0-2.
Gloucester American is holding on to their chances of moving on to the next round as it can force a three-way tie in its pool with a win over Beverly Friday (5:30 p.m., Ipswich). A Gloucester American win would mean three teams would be tied with a 2-2 record forcing a tie-breaker. Rockport has also been eliminated with a record of 0-4 in pool play.
Tuukka Time
It appears the Bruins are getting closer and closer to a long term deal with goalie Tuukka Rask. In fact, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli expects the team to reach an agreement with its star goalie and playoff hero as early as Friday.
"I feel confident that we'll get a deal done on Rask in short order," Chiarelli said on Wednesday.
It is rumored that the goalie, a restricted free agent, will be signing an eight year deal worth around $8.5M a year. Rask, 26, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt this postseason that he is a franchise goaltender, the Bruins are smart to lock him up quickly. If the rumored deal is true Rask would become the highest paid goalie in the league.
Backup goalie Anton Khudobin, a restricted free agent, is expected to test the market. As well as he played as a backup this season, the Bruins have the goalie depth to let him walk.
In other Bruins rumors the team is reportedly interested in free agent forward Daniel Alfredsson, an aging player but still a reliable scorer that the Bruins need.
More Rumors
In the latest Celtics rebuilding news the Detroit Pistons have reportedly acquired about he availability of Rajon Rondo. Ainge has said Rondo is not on the trading block but a first round pick from a bad team could be a tempting offer, especially given the strength of the 2014 draft class.

I suspect that a thorough linguistic analysis wouldn't lead us to the conclusion that the strong verbs are regular. Different patterns have been mixing for thousands of years which results in a bit of a mess. The evidence for this is that some verbs have several irregular (that is not ending with "-ed") forms.

We have a Utica well in Tioga county Pa and are curious if it will be wet or just more dry gas?
Views: 3412
Thank You for your answer,I I understand the maturity principles would be basicly the same in a tight shale as a reservoir?
Way back when this whole leasing business started in the area of Tioga County, East Resouces said they were after gas and some oil in the BR/T. The reason for their interest was successful wells just across the border in New York state. From what I have read, the very nature of the hydrocarbon bubbles in the BR/T were due to faulting and the consequent migration of salt water into fractured limestone. The limestone was converted to dolomite, which had more pour space to trap gas and oil. As the BR/T was explored more, other structures, not nesescarily dependent upon faulting seemed to also provide trapping for gas and oil. The Utica over course is an entirely differrent layer, but it has a different, more pourous consistancy perhaps in the area.
Shell dumped a hell of a lot of money and siesmec effort into that particular locale over the last year.
Your maps are generalities which investment speculaters like to use to thier advantage to keep interest out of an area long enough for them to go in and cherry pick the biggest deals. I don't think Shell throws 20 million dollars down a hole just to keep people busy.
(Sorry about the poor spelling. It is worse than normal today.)
Are you sure shell wasnt looking for Marcellus, that seems like the better play in Tioga County. If I were a bettin man I would be all in on the Marcellus.
The Utica and Trenton were done after a hortizontal in the Marcellus. They call this a experimental well
RE: "So how come drilling companies find oil and gas in wells down 18 or 20 thousand feet, if depth and pressure cook out all of the good stuff?"
There are many factors which help determine the depths at which Dry Gas, Wet Gas and Oil might be expected to be present.
There is the Geothermal Gradient .... some areas of the Earth are "hotter" or "cooler" than others.
The type of Kerogen (organic material) has an effect.
The burial and thermal history (how deep the rocks were buried at some point in their past geologic history, what was the highest temperature that they were subjected to during their past geologic history).
The age of the rocks; older rocks have had a longer period of time over which heat and pressure can act upon them.
As a rule of thumb, you can find Oil and Gas deeper in younger sediments that were rapidly deposited (such as in the US Gulf Coast). The 200 million year old rocks of the Marcellus and even older Utica have had a long and complex history.
If things were simple, they would have all been sorted out a long time ago.
Thank you Mr. Straw. That was a lot more than a parrot can repeat and far too thought provoking to be profitable for some people.
Isn't something going on up near Ulysses or Gold? Get your ears and eyes open and keep 'em open.

- Install MongoDB >
- Install on Linux >
- Install MongoDB on Ubuntu
Install MongoDB on Ubuntu¶
Use this tutorial to install MongoDB on Ubuntu Linux systems. The tutorial uses .deb packages to install. While Ubuntu includes its own MongoDB packages, the official MongoDB packages are generally more up-to-date.
If you use an older Ubuntu that does not use Upstart (i.e. any version before 9.10 "Karmic"), please follow the instructions on the Install MongoDB on Debian tutorial.
MongoDB provides packages of the officially supported MongoDB builds in it's own repository. This repository provides the MongoDB distribution in the following packages:
This package is a metapackage that will automatically install the four component packages listed below.
This package contains the mongod daemon and associated configuration and init scripts.
This package contains the mongos daemon.
This package contains the mongo shell.
This package contains the following MongoDB tools: mongoimport bsondump, mongodump, mongoexport, mongofiles, mongoimport, mongooplog, mongoperf, mongorestore, mongostat, and mongotop.
Control Scripts¶
The mongodb-org package includes various control scripts, including the init script /etc/init.d/mongod.
The package configures MongoDB using the /etc/mongod.conf file in conjunction with the control scripts. See Configuration File Options for documentation of the configuration file.
As of version 2.6.4, there are no control scripts for mongos. The mongos process is used only in sharding. You can use the mongod init script to derive your own mongos control script.
For production deployments, always run MongoDB on 64-bit systems.
You cannot install this package concurrently with the mongodb, mongodb-server, or mongodb-clients packages provided by Ubuntu.
The default /etc/mongodb.conf configuration file supplied by the 2.6 series .deb package has bind_ip` set to 127.0.0.1 by default. Modify this setting as needed for your environment before initializing a replica set.
Install MongoDB¶
Import the public key used by the package management system.¶
The Ubuntu package management tools (i.e. dpkg and apt) ensure package consistency and authenticity by requiring that distributors sign packages with GPG keys. Issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
Create a list file for MongoDB.¶
Create the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list list file using the following command:
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
Reload local package database.¶
Issue the following command to reload the local package database:
sudo apt-get update
Install the MongoDB packages.¶
You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.
Install the latest stable version of MongoDB.¶
Issue the following command:
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
Install a specific release of MongoDB.¶
Specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example that installs the 2.6.1 release of MongoDB:
apt-get install mongodb-org=2.6.1 mongodb-org-server=2.6.1 mongodb-org-shell=2.6.1 mongodb-org-mongos=2.6.1 mongodb-org-tools=2.6.1
Pin a specific version of MongoDB.¶
Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB, apt-get will upgrade the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package. To pin the version of MongoDB at the currently installed version, issue the following command sequence:
echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-shell hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Previous versions of MongoDB packages use different naming conventions. See the 2.4 version of documentation for more information.
Run MongoDB¶
The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongodb and its log files in /var/log/mongodb, and runs using the mongodb user account. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories.
Begin using MongoDB.¶
To begin using MongoDB, see Getting Started with MongoDB. Also consider the Production Notes document before deploying MongoDB in a production environment.

The loss completes the Pride's trip in Florida as it went 1-2 over the week.
Springfield used some last second heroics of its own to push the game into overtime in the first place. Rachel Lampros found the back of the cage with two seconds remaining in regulation to push the game into extra frames.
The Pride trailed at halftime, 9-5, but outscored St. Lawrence 7-3 in the second stanza.
Lampros finished the game with a goal and two assists, while the duo of Erin Doolan and Alexandra Bazzano each tallied three goals in the loss. Kaeliegh Lannan and Nicole Flores each recorded a goal and an assist as well for Springfield.
Springfield will play its first home game of the 2008 campaign on Tuesday afternoon when it welcomes Keene State to Stagg Field. First draw is set for 7:00 pm.

The Media And Entertainment industry obviously a well known term. It is one of the fastest growing sectors of the country. By 2015, the global entertainment industry is projected to reach US$ 1.8 trillion. Asian region estimated to play a central role in it, with India poised to supply about US$ 200 billion i.e. a sizable portion of the global industry.
FM & Radio
Radio City, Bollywood Online FM
Music has always taken a central position in the imagination of citizen's f India. The choice of musical phenomenon in India, and in fact the rest of South Asia, extends from simple melodies, commonly encountered among hill tribes, to what is one of the most well- developed "systems" of classical music in the world. Indian music can be described as having been inaugurated with Vedic hymns the chant, though it is more than probable that the Indus Valley Civilization was not without its musical culture, of which almost nothing is known.
Music Albums
Pop Albums, Remix, Gazals, Devotional
A remix is the edited version of the original song. Sound and different tunes are added to make a complete new version. The changes which can be made are like changing the tempo or shortening the pitch of the singers' voice or it can be made longer too, or to create a duet it might have the voice duplicated.
Remixing is done for a variety of reasons, among which some of the basic reasons can be to refresh it for radio stations or nightclub play, or to make it perfect for a specific music genre or for artistic purposes or build a connection between a successful artist and a smaller one or to provide an additional version of song to the industry. Edits and remixes are not similar, they should not be confused. The former involves shortening a final stereo master for broadcasting or marketing purposes. A cover and a remix are also two different things; most of the people think they are same.

We gathered, the other day, at the International Brigades' Memorial in Jubilee Park beside the Thames in London. It was warm with no breeze, "a Spanish dayâ€, one of the Brigaders said. Like the others, all in their eighties and older, he took shelter in the shade and rested on his walking stick. He wore his red beret. Twenty yards away, tourists waiting to board the London Eye looked bemused at the elderly men in their berets, and the rest of us, without knowing who we were, what the men had done and why we were celebrating them.
Between 1936 and 1939, the International Brigade fought in Spain on the side of the republican government against the fascist forces of General Franco. They were British and other Europeans, Americans and Australians. They were very young and volunteers, determined to stop fascism in its tracks. Although the republican government eventually fell, in February 1937 the 600-strong British Battalion of the XVth International Brigade stopped Franco's advance on Madrid. Four hundred were killed, wounded or captured in four days' bloody battle.
There were many battles like that. Sam Russell, a Brigader, described eloquently how on the Sierra del Pandols, "there was not enough soil to bury the dead, so we covered them with stonesâ€. The poet Martin Green, whose father, George Green, was killed when Martin was four years old, stood at the edge of the crowd. For his father, he had written:
You had no funeral nor hearse
No grave except the place you fell
. . . I was a boy too young
To take the blow that felled
The tree that was your man.
Now, 67 years on, we sang, to the tune of "Red River Valleyâ€, the rousing song of the Battle of Madrid. Jack Jones, the president of the International Brigade Memorial Trust, read out the names of his comrades who had died since their last reunion a year ago: Charlie Matthews (who had been reported killed on the battlefield in 1939 and whose obituary had appeared in his local paper) and Cyril Sexton, who was wounded at Jarama and went on to fight at Aragon, Belchite, Gandesa and Ebro where he was wounded again. Last April, he died in Tenerife at the age of 91.
A Brigader and poet, David Campbell, had nominated me for the honour of describing the meaning of their heroism today. This is what I said:
I first understood the importance of the struggle in Spain from Martha Gellhorn. Martha, who was one of my oldest friends, is remembered as one of the greatest war correspondents and especially for her dispatches from Spain during the Civil War. In November 1938, she wrote this:
"In Barcelona, it was perfect bombing weather. The cafes along the Ramblas were crowded. There was nothing much to drink: a sweet fizzy poison called orangeade and a horrible liquid supposed to be sherry. There was, of course, nothing to eat. Everyone was out, enjoying the cold afternoon sunlight. No bombers had come for at least two hours. The flower stalls look bright and pretty along the promenade. 'The flowers are all sold, Senores. For the funerals of those killed in the eleven o'clock bombing, poor souls'. It had been a clear and cold day all yesterday … 'What beautiful weather', a woman said, and she stood, holding her shawl around her, staring at the sky. A catastrophe,' she said. Eeryone listened for the sirens all the time, and when we saw the bombers, they were like tiny silver bullets, moving forever up, across the sky.â€
How familiar that sounds. Barcelona. Guernica. Hiroshima. Vietnam. Cambodia. Palestine. Afghanistan. Iraq. All those "tiny silver bullets†moving across the sky and bombing to death tens of thousands of men, women and children. Martha Gellhorn wrote of the International Brigade: "Whatever their nationality, whether they were Communists, anarchists, socialists, poets, plumbers, middle-class professional men, or the one Abyssinian prince . . . they were fighting for us all in Spain.â€
The enemy then was fascism, out-and-out fascism. Armband wearing, strutting, ranting fascism.
The enemy then was a great world power, adventurous, rapacious, with plans of domination, of capturing the world's natural resources: the oil fields of the Caspian and the Middle East, the mineral riches of Africa. They seemed invincible.
The enemy then was also lies. Deceit. News dressed up as propaganda. Appeasement. A large section of the British establishment saw fascism as its friend. Their voice was heard in a section of the British press: the Times, the Daily Mail.
To the propagandists, the real threat was from ordinary people, who were dreamers, many of them, who imagined a new world in which the dignity of ordinary life was respected and celebrated. Some were wise dreamers and some were foolish dreamers, but they understood the nature of fascism, and they saw through the lies and appeasement.
They knew that the true enemy did not always wear armbands, and strut, and command great rallies, but were impeccable English gentlemen, who sold out their country to rampant power behind a smokescreen of propaganda that appropriated noble concepts like "democracyâ€, "freedom†and "human rights†and "our way of life†and "our valuesâ€. Their words were echoed by courtier journalists and justified by pseudo-historians, who feared the public's ability to reason why.
Does all this sound familiar?
I ask that question, because when I read the aims of the International Brigade Memorial Trust, I was struck by a reference to "the historical legacy of the men and women who fought with the International Brigades against fascism …â€
The "historical legacy†of the International Brigade, as Martha Gellhorn wrote, is that they were fighting for us all. That means, for me, a legacy of truth – a way of seeing through the illusions and lies and deceit, notably the propaganda of our own governments. It means confronting murderous power in whatever form it appears.
That legacy is needed today more than ever. Impeccable gentlemen now invade defenceless countries in our name, destroying hospitals, shooting doctors, rounding up thousands and writing a number on their forehead or forearm, then imprisoning and torturing them. They speak of freedom and democracy, and our way of life and our values, and they deride those who reason why. They do not wear armbands and they do not strut. They are different from fascists. But their goals are not different: conquest, domination, the theft and control of vital resources.
When the judges at Nuremberg laid down the ground rules of international law following the Second World War, they described an unprovoked invasion of a defenceless country as "the paramount crime against humanity … from which all other war crimes followâ€. The judges also pointed out the obvious: that violent invasion would beckon violent reaction, which compounded the original crime.
The world is a very different place from the Sierra del Pandols, and the Valley of Jarama in 1937, where the best of men lie beneath the stones, but the legacy of those who understood and confronted fascism then endures as a warning to us all today.
It is a warning about sinister ambitions behind democratic facades: about messianic politicians, apparently touched by God, and their denial of the consequences of their violence, and it is a warning about those who shout down the reasons why in the name of a fake patriotism. It is also about moral courage: about speaking out, breaking a silence. I salute those of you International Brigaders who are here today, who did more than speak out. I thank you and your fallen comrades for what you did for us all, and for your legacy of truth and moral courage. La Lucha continua.

Tom Brady continues to rewrite Patriots record books and make his case as the clear-cut MVP in another stellar outing in the Patriots' win over the Bears.
Bears players of the week
Devin Hester's 61-yard kickoff return was one of the few bright spots for the Bears in Week 14.
Brady, Pats clinch another playoff berth
The quarterback threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and the New England Patriots locked up their eighth playoff berth in 10 years with a 36-7 pounding of Chicago on a snowy, blustery, bone-chilling Sunday.
Patriots-Bears inactives
The Patriots and Bears have announced their inactives for Sunday's game at the cold, snowy and windy Soldier Field.
Patriots-Bears prediction
The Bears' defense has carried the team for much of the season, and it will again in a win on Sunday, according to PFW's Dan Parr.
Patriots-Bears prediction
PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain predicted 30 points for the Patriots earlier in the week, but with the weather conditions hitting Soldier Field Sunday morning, it could be a wild, low-scoring game in Chicago.
Patriots-Bears matchup of the day: Saturday
Here's a matchup to watch in the Week 14 game between the Patriots and Bears: Patriots OLB Tully Banta-Cain vs. Bears ORT J'Marcus Webb.
Flashback: Recent Week 14 Bears' performances
Take a quick stroll down memory lane with PFW for a recap of the Bears' Week 14 contests each of the last five seasons.
Bears CB Moore emerging after tough rookie season
He doesn't have ideal size and didn't make an impact for the Bears as a rookie, but D.J. Moore is emerging as a playmaker for Chicago's defense in his second season.
Patriots-Bears matchup of the day: Friday
Here's a matchup to watch in the Week 14 game between the Patriots and Bears: Patriots RBs BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead vs. Bears run defense
Bears fantasy focus
Bears QB Jay Cutler has cut down on mistakes, throwing 10 touchdown passes and just three interceptions in the past five games, and he'll be facing New England's 31st-ranked pass defense in Week 14.
Cutler turned in sub-par numbers in Sunday's 28-13 win at Arizona.||||||| Cutler completed just one of his first 11 passes, then went 5 of 5 on a touchdown drive in the final minutes of the first half. He finished 12 of 26 for 146 yards and a touchdown. He has not been good for fantasy owners this season.
Cutler appears ready to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.||||||| Cutler went through a full practice on Friday despite knee and neck problems and was officially listed as probable.
Cutler says he expects to play this week against Green Bay.||||||| Cutler says "unless something drastic happens, absolutely" he will be ready to play against the Packers after leaving Sunday's loss at Minnesota with a sore neck. He says he got treatment on Monday and "should be ready to go later in the week." Cutler spoke during his weekly appearance on the "Waddle & Silvy Show" on Chicago's WMVP-AM 1000.
Cutler left Sunday's game at Minnesota in the fourth quarter with a neck injury.||||||| Cutler took a hit to the head by Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen that drew a penalty, but he said afterward his neck was bothering him all afternoon and worsened as the game went on, complaining of stiffness. Cutler stayed in for the rest of that drive, but when the Bears got the ball back Jason Campbell was running the offense instead. Cutler, who missed a game last month because of a concussion, got up slowly after Griffen's hit.
Cutler waa 17 of 26 for 233 yards with two TDs and no INTs in Sunday's loss to Seattle.||||||| Though the Bears lost, Cutler played one of his best games of the season. A deep drop by Earl Bennett prevented Cutler from an even bigger statistical contest.

(September 30, 2009) – Skate Canada official Jean Senft has been recognized by Sports Officials Canada as the first recipient of their newly created integrity award. This award was created to recognize and honour a technical official who by virtue of an act or decision has made a significant contribution to upholding the highest principles of the sports officiating profession or avocation.

Jean is also qualified as a Canadian level technical controller in singles and ice dance.
Benoît Lavoie, Skate Canada President, and himself an official with Olympic level experience stated the following in a letter to Jean, "Skate Canada relies greatly on the integrity of its officials. The legitimacy of results is paramount to the competitive experience of our athletes. It allows them to focus on competitive achievement, confident in the knowledge that the feedback they receive through assessment of their performance is accurate and properly represents their efforts".
Jean has demonstrated these principles through her dedication as a volunteer official at all levels of events. She has been active as an official domestically for more than 30 years, including assignment to the Canadian Figure Skating Championships on numerous occasions, and has been qualified to officiate at the International level since 1985. As an international official Jean has been selected by Skate Canada to judge twice at the Olympic Winter Games, first at the 1994 games in Lillehammer, Norway, and then in 1998 in Nagano, Japan.

North Korea Looks Like The Most Fun Place On Earth!
Sun, June 24, 2012
Judging by this video, North Korea looks awesome! I mean sure they starve their people to death and force them to live a nightmare existence, completely shut off from the rest of the world, but c'mon, nobody's perfect. I'm sick of people always knocking North Korea. If you don't have something nice to say, than just zip it. Everyone is such a critic.
I mean sure they might have one of the worst standards of living in the world and sure they live in constant fear of upsetting an insane, paranoid, militaristic dictatorship that will kill them for even the most subtle perceived slight, but on the plus side ... they sure know how to party!
Look how much fun! I wanna go!

Men's adidas Originals Lifestyle Apparel
Firebird Track Pants
Fresh Green (F77994)
Size Chart
+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lizrim82 Great update to a classic I bought these for my husband mainly for "lounging" and traveling. He really likes them because they are breathable and comfortable. He usually wears a large in jackets and tops but we found that the medium was a better fit for him. I would say it runs true to size but these look better more fitted so he went down a size. June 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Tap827 A little disappointed. The firebird track pants that I bought were a disappointment. I ordered a 3x and the size of these pants were more likely a 2x. I have other track pants from adidas that are actually a 3x. I don't know why they are made this way but it was a big difference from the other pairs that I have. May 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Nealson Toooo big... I'm 6'1 and 200 pounds. Usually, I wear Large size. And also I bought L size this time. However it is too big at the waist...I won't recommend it... The quality is as the other adidas products. July 14, 2014

How to see the NZ north island in one day!
We enjoyed this whole day and time flew as we packed in so much and yet had the scenic bus rides between locations so it didn't feel like too much. Very well organized! Nice, healthy food served on board, knowledgable and friendly guide/driver. The caves, agrodome, cultural program and geothermal site provided a nice variety and balance. So glad that we took this tour!

Clint Bowyer Race Summary: No. 15 Toyota Camry driver Clint Bowyer finished 39th in Sunday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Michael Waltrip Racing driver started 12th and didn't wait long to show he had the best car on the track taking over the lead on lap 140. Bowyer built a several second lead logging more than 40 laps at the front of the field. He held an eight-second lead on lap 163 and coupled with Jimmie Johnson's issues appeared ready to take over the point lead at the end of the race. But an engine issue forced Bowyer to the garage ending his night with a 39th-place finish. The No. 15 remains second to Johnson trailing him by 28 points. Bowyer returns to action Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway.
BOWYER: "You know, it's part of it. I mean everybody has engine issues. We're pushing hard for the Chase to try to win a championship -- certainly on the engine category, with our chassis, everything. Real proud of (Brian) Pattie (crew chief) and all the gang. We were off a little bit. I think we were probably a sixth or fifth-place car yesterday. I told them all to make some adjustments and go for a win. And as soon as the track got going into the night there we gained some grip and our car really took off. It was ours to lose and unfortunately we found a way to lose. I'm going to have a beer."
Are you disappointed after the engine issue? "Yeah, that was a super big bummer right there. Man, our RK Toyota was so fast. Why did it have to happen this weekend? That's the biggest thing. It's part of motorsports. Everybody at TRD -- it's been a rough weekend -- they do such a great job. There's a reason we're up front -- it's because they're building big horsepower pushing for the Chase and trying to learn as much as we can for the Chase. We learned a lot with this car -- it was off a little bit in practice and real proud of (Brian) Pattie (crew chief) for making some adjustments there and getting me where I need to be. This -- it's a shame."

A robbery at a Hall County bank locked down four nearby schools Wednesday.
Around 9:15 a.m., a man entered SunTrust bank on Mundy Mill Road with a gun and demanded cash.
He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash and ran into nearby woods.
While police and K-9 units searched for the suspect, Oakwood Elementary, Johnson High School, and Academies of Discovery Charter School were placed on lock down.
University of North Georgia Gainesville was directed to shelter in place and classes were canceled.
K-9 units eventually lost the scent and authorities believe he may have gotten into a vehicle.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County's new budget so far has a spending gap of about $13 million over this year.
County lawmakers said Monday they intend to continue budget work to reduce that figure, maybe by speeding up the sale of Horace Nye Nursing Home.
The County Board of Supervisors agreed in June to sell the Nursing Home to the Centers for Specialty Care of the Bronx for $4.01 million.
But, to date, no contract has been signed, said Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah), who chairs the County Finance Committee.
"We have no contract for sale of the Nursing Home, which I find hard to believe, since a resolution was passed back in June."
Supervisor Roby Politi (R-North Elba) said the agreement has taken longer than expected.
"There have been extensive modifications, changes, which is absolutely normal," he said. "I think it's (a contract) very close to being finalized. It is not signed as of today."
He said they are trying to reach agreement on a contract satisfactory to all parties.
"The revised version of the contract went back to the buyer's attorney last week," County Manager Daniel Palmer said.
Scozzafava said that if they get the $4 million soon, it could be used to reduce the deficit in the budget.
"It could be an option to reduce the size of the (tax) levy. Offset that appropriation with that revenue."
Palmer said $2.5 million of the spending increase in the budget is for additional costs at Horace Nye.
Scozzafava said it will still be a year until the new owner can get a certificate of need from the State Department of Health to run Horace Nye.
"We're still going to have to budget for the operation of Horace Nye for 2013."
Scozzafava told his fellow lawmakers that the budget process is ongoing.

Alex Poythress will return to Kentucky for his sophomore season, strengthening a Wildcats team that didn't need to get any stronger. The school announced on Tuesday that Poythress had decided to pass on the NBA Draft, ending weeks of rumors that he would leave Lexington after just one season.
Poythress averaged 11.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game as a freshman, both of which ranked second on the team, and earned SEC Freshman All-American honors. Some projected that he would be a first-round pick in the draft, which fueled speculation that he would leave Kentucky, but the 6'8'' forward will return to school.
Kentucky will welcome six McDonald's All-Americans to Lexington next season, giving the Wildcats one of the best recruiting classes in recent memory. With those six, along with Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky should be one of the favorites to win the national title next season and Andrew Wiggins, the nation's top recruit who remains undecided, may still yet pick the Wildcats.
John Calipari will have an absurd amount of talent at his disposal in 2013-14, which he needs after this season's dismal campaign. The Wildcats went 21-12 and missed the NCAA Tournament just a year after winning the national title, then bowed out in the first round of the NIT to Robert Morris.

TAZEWELL (WVVA) - The idea of wind turbines on East River Mountain still stirs up strong opinions among many area residents.
The notion first grabbed attention in 2009 when Dominion and BP proposed placing electricity-generating wind turbines on land that had been purchased on East River Mountain.
Many residents spoke out against the proposal, prompting the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors to pass a ridgeline ordinance that essentially restricted the construction of structures more than 40 feet high on the mountain.
View WVVA.com's previous reports on the wind turbine controversy
Now -- as first reported Wednesday by WVVA News -- a bill before the Virginia General Assembly would allow renewable energy projects in the Commonwealth to bypass local regulations such as Tazewell County's ordinance.
Read the bill in its entirety
Follow the bill's progress online
When asked about the possibility of a wind turbine controversy returning to Tazewell County, WVVA News viewers were quick to share their opinions.
"No! The public spoke about this several yrs ago," wrote Barbara Lambert Martin on the WVVA News Facebook page. "One more example of the govt not listening to the public!"
"There is no reason not to switch to 100% power from the wind," responded Joe Honaker. "Everyone finds a reason to oppose them because they 'destroy the natural beauty' but I don't see people going insane over the hundreds of Cell Phone Towers popping up all over the region."
Abram Jackson added: "Would be nice for (part of) the area to actually be at the leading edge of a technological advancement than decades behind like most everything else..."
While Marie McDowell Call said "I enjoy photographing East River Mountain from my house in Tazewell County and I do NOT want those ugly things ruining our beautiful mountain or our beautiful view of it!"

AC/DC is an Australian rock band, formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Although the band is commonly classified as hard rock and is considered a pioneer of heavy metal, they have always classified their music as rock and roll. To date they are one of the highest grossing bands of all time. In November 1973 Malcolm and Angus Young formed AC/DC and recruited bassist Larry Van Kriedt, vocalist Dave Evans, and drummer Colin Burgess. The early line-up of the band changed often and Burgess was the first member fired, while several bassists and drummers passed through the band during the next year. The Young brothers decided that Evans was not a suitable frontman for the group and in...

Short's means a box from tectactoe landed recently. Not sure I've had a pils since I was in Germany last summer, but it changed my outlook on the style...i.e. that there aren't many good ones made in the States. 12 oz. bottle.
Pour is a impure & opaque yellow with a low carb load. Aroma lends lemon rinds, wet cut grass, grainy. Better than your average American-born pils. But I didn't see a born-on date on the bottle.
The Curl would be right at home das deutsches Gasthaus (good hell my German has practically worn away). Still lemony with a dash of ancient grains, hull & all, that gives it a roughness. There's a non-traditional bitterness mid-palate that gives the more more traditional trailers depth. Finish lends a rye-esque note of spiciness, sweetness, pale malts round out the bill. Easy to down; love these really good non-alcohol beers. Dangerdanger.
Despite the imperialization of the beer (imperial dogs!) this is one of the better U.S. efforts at a pils that I've come across. Nice & clean with a nod towards modernity. Like it more than I expected too, this is a very good beer.

Very thickly clouded, the curl is a dense-looking yellow-gold, translucent on the one hand because of the murkiness and the other due to the paler color. The head , clean white, reaches one finger, and it's tight. It shows a rocky density and good retention, and it leaves lace starting thickly from the very top down.
The smell showcases pilsner malts with familiar earthy, grassy, dusty, herbal and sulfuric notes. It has a sort of raw dankness to it.
Whoa...the dankness in the aroma makes up the main aspect of the flavor. My tongue definitely registers a certain very dank weed found in nature that itself has a kind of sulfuric note. Earth, grass and bitter herb come in, the herb bringing a dryness and bitterness into the finish, as well as a woody sort of pith.
The body might slip into the medium range but doesn't get too heavy. Dryness cuts in partway through to finish it out. Crispness is firm and stays all the way through. The only issue is that it could be a little cleaner at the end of the sip.

Appearance: perfect clarity. orangish straw yellow. a finger or so of whitish head that leaves behind a bit of a lacing
Smell: pilsner malts. some alcohol, and a hint of noble hops
Taste: strong pilsner malts. lager yeast good strong alcohol that is balanced. just a little bit of hops.
Mouthfeel: not overly heavy and damn near perfectly clean
Overall: a very good imperial pilsner. not a strong focus on the hops but strong. I like it

3.93/5 rDev +3.1%
Bottled 9/17/13 and poured into a shaker pint.
Appearance: A cloudy "pure" yellow color. Pure yellow with nothing else there. Half finger or so of head bubbles away pretty quickly leaving a wispy bit of foam on top. Not much lacing.
Smell: As expected, smelling quite sweet. Like sugar and hay, mostly. Almost a fruity characteristic as well. Quite nice on the nose.
Taste/feel: First sip I didn't care for much, but then I realized I had brushed my teeth half an hour earlier. Once that first sip got my teeth re-dirtified, I was ready to go. The taste is much like the smell. This really is just what I had expected coming into this beer. Take an Pilsner with an average ABV (five or so), and add sweetness. Very low bitterness for me. I think this is 50 IBUs, but it's balanced well. Sweet from beginning to end with that hay flavor typical to a good Pilsner, with almost a juiciness from fruit. Mouthfeel is medium with a medium amount of carbonation, making this pretty dangerously drinkable. I'm going to shock some people by saying that I thought there was some corn in the flavor in a way, but I'm not too sure. Whether they use corn or not (I'd THINK not) in this beer, I get that vibe. Regardless, a super enjoyable beer.
I'm really not often a fan of Pilsners because I often find them bland and uninteresting, but I enjoy the body and sweetness of The Curl quite a lot.

The Florida St. Seminoles don't have a shot at the ACC title game since the Clemson Tigers are already the Atlantic Division winners, but they can prevent the Virginia Cavaliers from staying in the race for the Coastal Division championship with a victory in Saturday's game.
The Cavaliers are 7-3 and need to defeat the Seminoles this week and the Virginia Tech Hokies to close out the season. It's a tall order. Florida State fans believe the Cavaliers are lucky to be where they are, especially after a so-so game against the Duke Blue Devils.
But Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher isn't overlooking the Cavaliers. He sees a tough game against a physical defensive team that played tough against the Miami Hurricanes, a team the Seminoles just beat. Still, Florida State is favored by 17-1/2 points by the odds makers. This one might not be close.
Game date, time: 7:30 pm ET, Saturday, Nov. 19
Location: Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee FL
TV channel: ESPN2
Spread: Florida State favored by 17-1/2 points
Series history: Florida State leads, 14-2
