|Crushed stone (aggregate)
This sizing and wash plant make different crushed stone shipping products based on size. The crushed stone is sold FOB at the mine site and is loaded on commercial dump trucks for transport to areas where road material or concrete is being made.
Think of how many items in your home are made from crushed rock. For example the concrete in the sidewalk (2), and the asphalt in the driveway (not numbered), as well as the home's foundation. The car is driven on asphalt and concrete highways. How many other examples can you think of for the use of crushed stone in your home?
This completes your tour of a crushed stone plant. Click the following active link to Return to contents.
A typical crushed stone operation produces more than one type of product depending on demand. The product mix changes daily depending on demand.
A complex series of crushing, screening and washing steps in a sizing plant (left) are used to produce different rock sizes.
Five main products are produced. They are:
The following (below) shows the different rock products that are produced in a typical crushed stone operation such as this. The ruler units are centimeters (top contrasting bars) and inches (lower contrasting bands). Note that some products are washed to improve product strength and to minimize chemical reactions that would decrease concrete or asphalt strength.

Saturday marked the two-year anniversary of the Springfield EF3 tornado that traveled 39 miles with a top wind speed of 160 mph! Three people lost their lives, and the twister caused more than $200,000,000 in damage. Besides an isolated storm earlier in the evening Saturday, the weather was much quieter, but it sure was hot! How appropriate that Boston hit 92 degrees on the first day of meteorological summer. For climate data and research, we split the "seasons" into three month periods, and June 1 is the "start" of summer. To be clear, the official start of summer, the summer solstice, is June 21 at 1:04 a.m.
Even though it was the second day in a row that Boston climbed into the 90s, it takes three consecutive days of 90 degrees or higher to officially call it a heat wave. Some towns have done so with temperatures on Thursday in the 90s, but Boston fell just short that day with a high of 88. Nonetheless the heat and humidity is sticking around through the remainder of the weekend.
Sunday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with late day storms possible. If you have any outdoor plans, keep an eye to the sky. We have the slight risk of severe storms developing ahead of an approaching cold front. The best chances will be across western parts of the state in the late afternoon into the evening. Any storms that do develop have the potential to produce heavy downpours, frequent lighting, damaging wind gusts, and hail. Highs will be into the mid to upper 80s, 60s and 70s on the Cape. With enough sunshine midday, some spots still have a chance of hitting 90. The humidity will make it uncomfortable no matter what the temperature.
If you plan to find relief at the beach, expect water temperatures in the low to mid 50s. Waves will be running about two to four feet and there is a moderate risk of rip currents at most beaches on Sunday. UV index will be very high, so sunscreen and shades will be needed!
By Sunday night, it will become mostly cloudy and showers and storms from the west will march eastward overnight. As a cold front crosses the region Monday, periods of showers will be likely. Cool and drier air will filter in behind the passaging of this front and a nice string of days will follow.
June 1 also is the start of hurricane season and we'll be keeping a close eye on the tropics starting this week. Some of our computer models have been hinting moisture near Florida may push northward and brush us with some wet weather by next weekend. There is a lot of time and uncertainty between now and then, but interesting to see what develops. Just in case you were wondering… Andrea would be the first tropical storm name of the season.
Have a great weekend! Follow me @sarahwroblewski on Twitter!

A checklist of important tips for designing a mobile commerce landing page, from the CEO of MobiMart.
Development of a dedicated mobile commerce web site brings with it many challenges. Developers need to take care of:
In this post, we will cover some considerations while designing and development of landing page in your mobile site.
Load time is the single most important factor which determines the success of your mobile site. Amazon found that with every 100-millisecond increase in page load time, its sales went down by 1%. Given the short attention span of the user, it's hard to keep him engaged if the load time is more than 4-5 seconds. Our experience with powering mobile sites for some of the top e-commerce sites in India has given us a unique perspective into the best practices for a mobile commerce landing page. Here are some of our learnings.
While every merchant wants to provide the best of feature capabilities on the landing page, it is recommended to start with basic capabilities like Category navigation (ideally text-based), Search, Cart, Account Activity. An ideal landing page should not be more than 100 kilobytes in size with a maximum of 100-200KB of images.
Designers, marketers and engineering teams need to work closely to minimize the number of elements on landing page to help improve page load as well optimize it for end user experience.

The bottle says it is contract brewed for Bottle Tree at Thomas Creek Brewery in South Carolina. Pours a medium density reddish brown color. Lots of reddish light comes through the glass. A hard pour gives off a medium size light tan head. Head retention is about average. Some thin rings of lacing on the glass.
Standard Red Ale aroma of sweet caramel malt and some balancing bitterness, in this case it is piney hops.
Taste is standard Red Ale fare as well. A nice mixture of caramel malts and piney hops. The maltiness shows up first with a more bitter follow-on.
Mouthfeel is crisp and sweet. The alcohol level is higher than many Red Ales but is not that noticeable. The bitterness is the finish is welcome to keep the beer from being too sweet and cloying
A bit sweet and high abv to be a session beer, but I could still swill a few of these in the evening. Not a bad Red Ale.

A: Pours an almost opaque but clear very dark amber in color with light amounts of gentle visible carbonation along the surface of the beer and some crimson + garnet red highlights. The beer has a thin (slightly less than a quarter finger tall) slightly fizzy beige head that quickly reduces to a medium sized patch of very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of dark fruits (cherries and raisins) along with some molasses. Light aromas of generic sweet malts and some hints of alcohol.
T: Upfront there are moderate to strong flavors of cracker malts with dark fruit sweetness (cherries and raisins stand out). There are also some light flavors of molasses and caramel sweetness but the finish of the beer has notes of alcohol and a moderate amount of bitterness (though I do not taste any hop flavors).
M: Slightly heavier than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light hints of alcohol warming in the finish.
O: Kind of interesting/strange - it was boozy and sweet like a barleywine or strong ale and has lingering bitterness but without any hop flavors. Not one of my favorites and I am unlikely to get this one again.

Poured from the bottle into a nonic pint glass.
Real gorgeous amber. A super dark copper brown, with giant deep ruby reds throughout. Clear. Head is a creamy slightly soapy tan with about four fingers tall, and about a one finger settling puck. Gorgeous looking beer.
Real nice malt presence on this. Creamy toffee, and a little bit of warmth. Big sense of chewy grains and pleasurable malts. Faint chocolate. Maybe even a little bit of brown spiced character too. Very nice.
First sip is a little bit of a let down. Just a hair of light body, but a muted malt sensation only comes in. Hop angle is a bit more obvious with a little bit of herbality and grass bitterness. Slight roast coffee in the aftertaste, with some creamy piping warmth. Lots of ripping grain on the finish. Some toffee and caramel warmth a little but a bit subdued.
Overall a decent brew, but I was expecting a bit more from the wonderful start.

LOOK: Pours a light amber, with an off white, soapy foam. Leaves lace going down the side of the glass. Good clarity, looks like a solid amber ale.
SMELL: Malty sugars, fusel alcohol, also smells a bit oxidized. Has the smell of European malts, reminds me of an imported Barleywine or dopplebock
TASTE: Nutty, toasted malts upfront with a pleasant savory sweetness. Malt extract comes to mind. There is a mellow earthy hop character with a hint of pine. Well balanced malts provide suggestions of cocoa, and there is enough bittering hops to keep things interesting. This I would consider a malt bomb, and a good one at that. Works well in the American Amber Ale style category.
FEEL: Medium bodied, light to medium carbonation. Very smooth on the palate, and leaves behind a yeasty coating.
OVERALL: A pretty decent ale here from bottle tree. Decadently malty, decent feel, the smell was just a little off. Everything else works here. Glad I got to try it. This was brewed by Thomas Creek brewery.

This is a new-to-me NC brew. I've seen around for a bit, but never grabbed any. My curiosity finally reached its peak, and snagged some last week. 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
Pours a really dark mahogany, very rusty looking. A small beige head rests on top. The aroma is really sweet with graham cracker, sherry notes, booze, cherries. An odd scent for an Amber Ale. Expected a bit more hops in the nose, but nothing.
The mouth is alright. A bit slick at times, mild warming alcohol noted. The alcohol comes out quite a bit in the flavor. The 7.5% is not hidden at all. Dark fruit flavors of raisin and cherry. Port-like finish. Molasses and crackers on the back end.
This one was odd. The flavors were sort of muddled and all over the place. No real hop presence noted. This is just a boozy fruity beer that I would pass on in the future.

Again what a wonderful May Fete Parade!! The joy! The smiles! The creativity!
Tom Osborne (spelling?) has been involved with the parade for 57 years! The gentleman providing the Public Address systems has been involved for 25 years. One of the announcers has been announcing for a dozen years!
The Parade runs smoothly every year because of all the behind-the-scenes organization of the City and its volunteers!
Kudos to all!! This was Sparkles Delight's 17th time in the May Fete Parade plus The Black and White Balls before that!!
Palo Alto is an exceptional City! Keep up the good work, everyone!

Great parade. How come it isn't called the "Pet Parade" anymore?
Just curious.
on May 6, 2013 at 1:38 pm
When I wrote the above comment yesterday, I had no idea it would state that I was a "resident" in Downtown North neighborhood. That's where the parade was! I lived in Palo Alto until 1995 on Waverley near Campesino.
I purchased my first pair of Rollerblades at Palo Sports and Toy World in 1986. They still are one of the sponsors of the parade. Thanks!!

A valley family is heart broken after their dog was stolen in broad daylight from a very public place. Now they're offering a reward for the safe return of their pet.
The great dane was taken from the PetSmart parking lot at 35th Street and Thomas Road after the owner took their other great dane into the store.
Two people drove off with the other family pet in the back of their pickup truck.
The owner hopes someone will return their stolen family member before the holidays.
"All we want is the dog back. I don't care if they drop her off at a shelter..if they bring her back to this PetSmart..we just want her back," said Russell Brown.
This is the second pet stolen from this PetSmart location in the past couple of weeks.
If you have any information about this case, call the Phoenix police.
The owners are offering a $500 reward.

I went to Bangkok for vacation with family and friends. I didn't personally book this hotel but i asked the travel agent to booked us on a 3-star hotel. We were given a Standard room with two twin or double bed (not so sure about the size but wider than a single bed). The room is too small that the bed barely touched the wall and a night table can't fit even in the middle of the two beds, but i don't mind.
The location is perfect for shoppers because you can reach some malls and shopping streets/night markets only by walking. They also have a free tuktuk shuttle service (if you're too lazy to walk lol).
About the complimentary 24hrs free wifi, if you stayed there like 3 nights, you'll have to "logout" after every wifi use in order to maximize your 24-hr free wifi (it was clearly stated on the wifi info paper). Ours lasted for 4 days :)
The staff is very polite, breakfast is usual (eggs, sausage, coffee, tea etc). There are couple of 7-11s around the hotel, So all in all, our stay there was good :)

Stayed 3 nights with my family. We had booked 2 rooms and reached the hotel 3hours before the check-in time(2pm). After discussing, they agreed to give us one available room at abt 11am. It saved our time.
The receptionists were friendly. Specially, the tuk-tuk driver was very kind, friendly, and supportive.
Restaurant staff were not friendly for customers.
Place is very convenient for shopping. Most of the shopping areas are in walking distance.
rooms were clean. But, the clothes rack was very small. it would be better if there are more space to hang clothes. They provided free wifi. One room was with a good signal strength and the other room's wifi connection was poor.

Aston Villa flopped in their first outing under new manager Paul Lambert, but West Ham United will be thrilled to mark their return to the top flight with three points. Villa were by and large the better side, dominating possession at Upton Park and generating most of the (few) chances, but all it took was a ricochet off Ciaran Clark and a Kevin Nolan tap-in to secure the win for the Hammers.
Villa can't feel too hard done by. They had plenty of the ball but didn't do very much of it, and with their most creative presence in Barry Bannan confined to the bench for much of the match it's not really very hard to see why. Compared to the dark days of Alex McLeish, however, this wasn't a terrible performance. They've at least learned how to pass the ball. All that remains for them to do is figure out how to score more goals than the opposition. Expect slow and steady progress.

Since you aren't sure about going for another -in ending, I wonder if you would like another name with an "r" in it as a way to tie all of the names together in a subtle way?
Griffin, Corbin, and maybe something like:
I do like Lincoln and Silas too, I'd go for the one you like the most and it will fit with the other names you like.Mama to my dear little bear <3
April 29th, 2013 09:21 PM #10
I like Silas way better! I think another n name fits the pattern, but its ok to not have a matched set if you love the name.Proud mama to L. and S.E.R.

Silas is much nicer, in my opinion.
Plus, are you sure you want to be in a cycle of "-in" sounding names? 2 in a row is fine, but once you hit 3 it would seem out of place to name another child something with a different ending. (Not that I'm a big fan of the significance placed on sib-sets here, but the "-in" sound at the end is a pretty obvious tie.)

My opinion is go with what you like best!! I see the obsession over sibsets matching a lot on this forum and I just don't get it! Style changes, taste change...so this can happen when naming kids. The kids will each own their names and most people they are introduced to won't associate them with their other family members names (like once they go to college, social events, etc).
That being said I love BOTH of your name choices! :-)

PHOENIX (AP) - The Pro Bowl will return to Honolulu next January and again will be played the week before the Super Bowl.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says Wednesday at the owners meetings that the all-star game he once considered scrapping has been scheduled for Aloha Stadium on Jan. 26. He adds that Hawaii will be included "on some sort of rotational basis" in any future Pro Bowl scheduling.
Goodell says he was encouraged by the level of performance in this year's game, won 62-35 by the NFC.
He says while the system for choosing the players won't change, some consideration has been given to having team captains select their rosters, rather than an AFC vs. NFC format. Last January, Goodell notes, Peyton and Eli Manning could have "drafted" their Pro Bowl teammates.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie today responded to the NFL's decision to return the Pro Bowl to Hawaii.
"We have kept in close contact with NFL officials, and I am very pleased that the Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii in 2014. Like thousands of fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the last Pro Bowl game held in January at our Aloha Stadium. Opportunities to reach national and international audiences such as this will help maintain our state's positive economic momentum, particularly in the visitor industry. "I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Hawaii Tourism Authority and our partners in working collaboratively with the NFL to ensure the continuation of this valuable Hawaii-NFL partnership and the game's fourth decade in Hawaii. "The NFL has recognized that the Pro Bowl is at home in the islands."
Mayor Kirk Caldwell had this to say about the decision.
"Honolulu and the Pro Bowl make a winning team. Oahu residents love our yearly visit from NFL superstars and their families almost as much as the all stars love our island paradise. The event is a huge boost for our tourism and hospitality industry, bringing thousands of visitors to the City and County of Honolulu. The NFL is an active and generous community partner, providing helmets to local high school players, helping to refurbish public school playing fields, organizing family days, and much more. I'm so pleased they'll be back again next year."

A hemangioma birthmark is a pink or red birthmark that grows during the first year of life and then recedes over time. By age 10, a child who had a hemangioma in infancy may retain only a mark of the growth. If needed, the mark can be cut out or removed by laser.
Treatment isn't usually required, but fast-growing hemangiomas sometimes require medication or laser treatments. Problems do arise if the growth is near the eye (difficulty with vision), in the throat (difficulty breathing), or near the mouth or groin (difficulty with feeding or elimination). Also, if a child has three or more hemangiomas on the skin; has an hemangioma that's in the middle of the face, neck or scalp; or has a large hemangioma that covers a segment of the face, evaluation is recommended to search for internal hemangiomas, which occasionally occur, or other conditions.

Global Corporate Challenge 2014
In 2014 I can....
There are strong links between your health and wellbeing and your physical activity. If you are more active you will also be healthier and happier, so start to think about the things that you can do to get moving in 2014.
The GCC 2014 is a team based walking challenge to help improve the health and wellbeing of workers through regular physical activity, and the University is encouraging staff to participate in the challenge this year.
The challenge officially starts on 28 May and you have until 20 May to register your teams. It costs just $685.30 (including GST) to register a team of seven.
Click here to check out last year's end of challenge highlights.
GCC Fast Facts
|University GCC statistics, how we finished up in 2013
|Total distance covered: 484,748 km – this equates with walking around the world 12 times
|Total energy burnt: 127,246,400 kj – this equates with 188,234 glasses of red wine or 121,767 slices of cake
For 2014's fast facts keep coming back to this page as the challenge progresses.
Register your team now
If you have any questions about registering, or would like some communication resources to help spread the word within your area, please contact email@example.com or call 03 9536 8117
|Are the teams being funded this year?
|In 2013 Work Health and Safety and faculties/PSU's covered the cost for a number of University teams to participate. This year the costs are not being funded centrally through Safety, Health and Wellbeing and we have requested faculties/PSU's cover the cost.
Some teams may need to self-fund. Entry is $97.90 per person and you will need a team of seven to enter.
|Can I still register for the GCC?
|Team registrations are now open for the 2014 challenge. Use the link above to register your team now.
|What are the responsibilities of the team captain?
|The team captain registers their team, receives and distributes the Pulse accelerometers to their fellow team members, and hopefully provides inspiring team leadership and motivation.
|I can't find my GCC login details. What should I do?
|Your team captain should be able to login and re-send your GCC welcome email. If that doesn't work, contact Safety, Health and Wellbeing on x15555 or firstname.lastname@example.com
|Are my daily steps uploaded automatically from the GCC Pulse to the website, or is it manual entry?
|You will need to manually enter your daily steps online using your GCC website login details. Go to the STEP ENTRY tab at the top of the GCC home page.
|How often should I reset my GCC Pulse accelerometer?
|The GCC Pulse accelerometer only needs to be reset once per day ie. last thing at night when you take it off, or first thing in the morning when you put it on. That's when you record your steps for the day. The device will snooze while you are seated or stationary (to save battery power), but will wake-up again when you start moving.
|Does my swimming count towards my GCC steps?
|Yes. As long as you count the number of laps you do (and know the length of the pool), then all of this effort will count via the swim to step converter on the GCC step entry page. For example, four laps of a 25m pool would mean you add 100m to the swim converter. This equates to 475 well deserved steps.
|Does my cycling count towards my GCC steps?
|Yes. Just enter your cycling distance (kilometres or miles) into the cycling to step converter on the GCC step entry page. This will automatically convert and credit your step entry with the extra 'steps' you earned on the bike. Please ensure that you still wear your GCC Pulse when cycling as the small movement detected while riding also counts towards your daily activity.
|What happens if a member of my GCC team withdraws from the competition?
|The team member can be replaced.
|Does workers compensation insurance cover an injury caused as a result of participating in the GCC?
|Workers compensation insurance covers injuries incurred as a result of someone's normal course of employment. If someone is injured during a work sanctioned event, they may be covered for that injury but. If an injury does occur as a result of participating in the GCC please contact Injury Management immediately.

Samsung Galaxy S III wireless chargers popping up in Verizon stores2
According to reports from PhoneArena, Verizon Wireless is now selling a wireless charging kit for Samsung's Galaxy S III. Unfortunately, it's not the official one — which has been delayed until September — but rather a Verizon-branded charging dock designed to work with most phones. The inductive back cover, however, is an official Samsung product and is reportedly priced at $39. The wireless charging pad costs $49.99 from Verizon's website, and while the Galaxy S III is listed as a compatible product, the inductive battery cover is not yet available. If you're still holding out for the charging dock that Samsung announced at its Galaxy S III launch event, well, September's not too far off.

With every passing moment, we get closer and closer to learning that Hunter Pence has officially been traded by the Phillies to the Giants. It doesn't look like anything could possibly stop this now, and here's the latest update:
Giants expect to announce Pence deal shortly. Physical passed.— Andrew Baggarly (@CSNBaggs) July 31, 2012
Actually, no, let me correct that -- here's the latest update:
Nate has been told he's going to Philadelphia.— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) July 31, 2012
Nate is Nate Schierholtz, and earlier Tuesday it was reported that he could be involved. Schierholtz has had to fight for consistent playing time behind Angel Pagan, Melky Cabrera, and Gregor Blanco, and Hunter Pence is just another outfielder who would get in his way. So the Giants have little use for Schierholtz, and the Phillies have big use for him. Schierholtz has posted a 115 OPS+ since the start of last season, over nearly 600 plate appearances. He's 28, left-handed, and capable of many things.
With the Dodgers having made moves, the Giants making moves, and the Diamondbacks reportedly working on a blockbuster, the NL West is forcing itself into the spotlight.

A Conversation for The h2g2 Doctor Who Group
Doctor Who
Bluebottle Posted Nov 25, 2013
I really, really loved 'The Five(ish) Doctors' - my wife laughed a few times despite herself (she's being annoyed at all Doctor Who related programmes at the moment), with favourite moments being Sir Ian saying that The Hobbit would be better without 'Sylvester Who?' and Colin Baker getting the new edition of 'Vengeance of Varos' to replace the one that disappeared mysteriously.
Why was this relegated to being on the Red Button?
Doctor Who
Whisky Posted Nov 25, 2013
Absolutely loved it when I saw it the first time... Especially Tom Baker's appearance at the end...
Then watched it a second time and listened to what he said... Am now totally confused... Was that actually the fourth doctor? If so, how did he know about the time war? What were the comments about revisiting old faces about?
I'm in two minds whether Stephen Moffat was just being deliberately obscure with the script just to give the actor, Tom Baker, a cameo role as a curator of the black archive, or, (considering the Matt Smith doctor had just said that he'd like to retire to become the curator of the black archive), that the Tom Baker character _was_ the fourth doctor and the brief little discussion we saw actually gave us all sorts of hints as to what's going to happen with the next regeneration.

Just watched 'The Five(ish) Doctors'. It's very fun, although it feels a bit like they had a pile of left-over good will after being done with the more conventional commemorations, and were looking for ways to squander it. I especially liked them roping in Peter Jackson and Ian McKellen. And the Barrowman 'secret'.

Well the ending was good. The rest of it was a bit disjointed and incomprehensible. One of the byproducts of time travel I suppose...

SiliconDioxide Posted Dec 26, 2013
They introduced the turkey early on, and through most of it I was thinking "turkey". Some of the trimmings I enjoyed though: the cyberman personal oraganiser, bits of the truth field. I'm not looking forward to a series dominated by eyebrows and interference from a distant time-lord council.
Doctor Who
Mol - on the little netbook Posted Dec 26, 2013
We all really enjoyed it. The turkey and snow made it sufficiently Christmassy. The 'arch enemies' only really had cameo appearances. There were nods to the start of Matt Smith's tenure (the crack, the fish fingers and custard). There was new stuff (the wooden cyberman, the cyberman personal organiser). The extra regenerations problem was solved quite neatly. And it all got quite emotional right at the end.
I don't think anybody had 'kidneys' down as the new Doctor's first word, either, so kudos to the Moff there. But I don't think he's ever entirely at his best for the Christmas special. It's such a huge balancing act, because he needs to make something which ordinary punters will enjoy (and which might suck them in as regular viewers), and which at the very least won't alienate [vernacular removed by filther] the fans, while also being Christmassy enough for the prime Christmas Day spot. That's a tall order, and it's to his credit that he achieved it. But it does mean it's not the best Doctor Who, because it's having to do these other things as well.
Doctor Who
deb - 34 down, 40.5 to go...so slow, so slow Posted Dec 26, 2013
I found myself drifting off at times to think about other things. It didn't really hold my interest much. But I did like the way the extra regenerations were handleds.
I won't hold the slight boredom against them, as there have been episodes before I found completely meh (did I really just use that word? I do hate it) and they've been followed by episodes which blew me away, so I live in hope.
Doctor Who
Whisky Posted Dec 26, 2013
Must admit - I didn't really 'get' the behaviour of the Time Lords...
They're stuck on their planet somewhere outside of the universe, they discover a way back through a crack... This crack allows them to hear what is going on in the universe and to transmit information through it, they can also break open the crack at any time in order to return to the universe...
But instead of simply getting the tin opener out and making the crack big enough to get through, they act like a bunch of naughty kids who've been sent to their room by daddy... Asking Daddy (the Doctor) whether they're allowed out yet.
Oh, and instead of just popping back into existence unannounced, they transmit a message 'throughout the whole of space and time' announcing to all their potential enemies exactly where they're going to reappear.
And if this message has been transmitted throughout the whole of space and time how come the doctor hasn't heard it already during his 50 years of BBC programming?

Todaymueller - back after a long absence Posted Dec 27, 2013
I am rather looking forward to Peter Capaldi's take on The Doctor. I found Matt Smith was trying too hard to be manic and eccentric all the time.

Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Posted Dec 27, 2013
Finally got to watch it with the folks after gran went back home as she cannot tolerate lots of whooshing and noise and daleks.
So thoughts:
lots of decent cameos but for no particular purpose Finally The Silence making some kind of sense. Sort of. Well. Anyway. What I saying - oh yes....
What were the weeping angels doing... oh nevermind. it probably doesn;t have to make sense... I am liking this theme of Daleks as rather unstoppable and the lengths others will go to to prevent the time war reigniting.
"None of this was for you, you fatuous egotist!"
I liked Handles, the PDA for the doctor.
Got a bit of a thrill from the reveal of the planets name and the tease with that place which shall not be named.
Nice tie in with the 50th shenanigans..... (but is there a reason the doctor didn't remember the resolution at the end of that?) (Timey-wimey....)
Two regeneration scenes now - well I never - and what has he been eating to go 'pop' like that? I know Tennant got a bit...explody. But this is frankly getting ridiculous.
However the hallucinatory 'other side of sane' ending monologue redeemed it all somewhat (as encores go...) . I had a tear in my eye.
Right up until Capaldi's WTF appearence. Man looked like he swallowed an entire packet of sour lemons, grimacing like that.
Not convinced.
4/5 fish fingers in custard.

Germans Join Brazil In Advancing Four Teams
Athens, Greece, August 19, 2004 - The Beach Volleyball competition features both men's and women's competition and Germany joined Brazil as the only countries advancing four teams each to the elimination rounds of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
The German women (Stephanie Pohl/Okka Rau and Suzanne Lahme/Danja Musch) upset top-seeded teams in their pools on Wednesday and Thursday to secure two of the 16 women's berth in the single-elimination bracket that is to played Friday and Saturday at the Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre.
Christoph Dieckmann and Andreas Scheuerpflug came back from an upset loss Tuesday to a team from France to win Pool B to gain the second seed in the elimination rounds by upsetting Benjamin Insfran and Marcio Araujo of Brazil 22-20 and 21-17 here Thursday in the final men's pool play match.
With Markus Dieckmann, Christoph's twin brother, and Jonas Reckermann was the only top five-seeded team among the four German tandems. Despite losing to Vegard Hoidalen and Jorre Kjemperud in their final pool play match Wednesday, Dieckmann and Reckermann advanced as the top team from Pool D.
Other pool winners Thursday were Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos of Brazil in Pool A and Javier Bosma and Pablo Herrera of Spain in Pool C. Emanuel and Ricardo dominated their pool with a 3-0 record by winning six of seven sets, including a 21-17 and 21-10 win Thursday over Dax Holdren and Stein Metzger of the United States.
After upsetting the third-seeded Laciga brothers (Martin and Paul) of Switzerland Tuesday, Bosma and Herrera finished Pool C Thursday by scoring a 21-165, 19-21 and 15-11 win over Robert Nowotny and Peter Gartmayer of Austria.
In addition to Markus Dieckmann and Rerkerman, five other teams earned Round of 16 berths Wednesday. Joining the Germans from Pool D were Bjorn Berg and Simon Dahl of Sweden. The top two teams in Pool E were Patrick Heuscher/Stefan Kobel of Switzerland and Julien Prosser/Mark Williams of Australia. Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde won Pool F with South Africa's Colin Pocock and Gershon finishing second.
Securing the four best third-place finisher spots were Hoidalen/Kjemperud, Andrew Schacht/Joshua Slack of Australia, John Child/Mark Heese of Canada and Joao Brenha/Luis Maia of Portugal, the fourth-place finishers at both the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games. Child and Heese defeated the Portugese for the bronze medal at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.

Chris Thomas King
"Album of the Year" winner for Grammy Award and Country Music Awards, Chris Thomas King is bringing his legendary New Orleans blues to DeLuna Fest. King's music is not only influenced by the blues, but by early hip-hop and country music which has created a unique flair throughout the years qualifying him as "The King of 21st Century Blues." Outside of being a mastermind musician, King may be most familiar from his role in "O Brother, Where Are Thou?" where he played the legendary bluesman, Tommy Johnson.
Scoop up his just released album, Bona Fide; however, if you are unaware of whom this man is…take a couple minutes and allow your eardrums to be pleasured.

City must strip stadium plan of extras or we could lose team
Remember what happened the last time the city tried to roll pet projects into a package with a major sports team's venue?
We lost the Hornets to New Orleans, then went ahead and spent the money building a new arena for a team we didn't have.
Mayor Anthony Foxx initiated this process by approaching the Panthers about the city helping with renovations. Now is not the time to cloud negotiations by adding projects such as amateur sports venues to the equation.
This is a big deal for Charlotte. Figure it out, get the deal done, and worry about secondary matters later!

Uncover hidden motivations behind airport authority plan
When significant change is proposed in business, there is traditionally a business case that outlines the goals, looks at return on investment, efficiencies gained, cost savings, risk avoidance, etc. Those proposing the change are often held accountable to ensure goals are met.
I have not seen a business case with the proposed airport transfer. Who's going to gain from this change? Who's holding themselves responsible, and what happens if goals are not met?
I have this sinking feeling that behind the scenes of the proposed change someone is going to profit at the expense of taxpayers.

Congress took bipartisan first step toward curbing violence
Last week's reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act was not just a victory for women. It also set an important precedent in our nation's pursuit of equality.
In a display of bipartisanship that included both N.C. senators, as well as five members of our congressional delegation, Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill that protects all women regardless of circumstance.
Republican members voting "no" wanted to deny protection to LGBT women, who experience domestic violence at the same rate as all women. Their partisan alternative also would have denied undocumented women the temporary status necessary to protect them from further abuse.
Any effort to reduce violence in our community must begin by extending protection to all who suffer abuse. Passing a comprehensive VAWA is a great start.
Jennifer Watson Roberts
In response to "Our do-nothing Congress finally gets something done" (March 5 Viewpoint):
No need to change gun law,
just enforce the ones we have
What is the point of passing more background check laws?
Los Angeles Times columnist Doyle McManus states that federal background checks blocked nearly one million sales of guns to criminals, people under domestic violence restraining orders and the mentally ill.
The question is, how many have been prosecuted? Vice President Joe Biden said himself that the U.S. Justice Department did not have time for that.
It makes no sense to make new laws if you're not going to enforce the ones you have on the books now.

In response to "Breaking Through," (three-part Observer series):
City I admire was molded by many leaders, including Jimmie
I am a Cuban American who moved here from New York with my Brooklyn-born wife in 1989 to join what was then NCNB.
We expected to encounter some cultural resistance, but this town was amazing in how we were welcomed.
I wondered why Charlotte was so different. I've come to understand that we owe our progress to many progressive leaders like my old boss Hugh McColl, who led from a position of stature in the community.
This series reminded me in a very tangible way that there were other lesser known "leaders" like Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick, and in fact the whole 1965 Myers Park Mustang team, who helped advance the ball.
Al de Molina
Series reminded me how far we've come and still have to go
I want to express my appreciation for the beautiful series David Scott and Gary Schwab put together around Charlotte, the South, integration, Myers Park High School, social injustice, football, and the progress we've made over the last 50 years.
It was a story that needed to be told. It captured how cruel life was for the black community and what a blind spot America had around race relations.
Born in Charlotte in 1963, I have grown up open-minded and respectful of all our community. The series was a terrific history lesson – a sharing of wisdom and a celebration of the bad decisions that were made and the behaviors our society accepted.
Thank you for being courageous in getting the truth on the table. We need to celebrate our progress and continue to be aware of inequalities embedded in our society.
David Dooley
For me, TV clips clarified true intent of N.C. voter ID bill
Tuesday on the TV news they showed a shot of about 50 white male Republicans standing in support of Voter ID legislation. It was followed by a shot of four African-Americans performing their civic duty at the polls.
Hmmm. Who are the Republicans targeting here?
This a scary bunch that North Carolina has elected!
