Can you guess who it is?
(At Sonoma) last year I was running eighth behind Sam Hornish and just kept trying and trying and trying to pass him. And finally, I was just tired of running there and I made a bold move to pass him and I ended up wrecking myself – and him – instead of just waiting for him to make a mistake and let time pass.We weren't even at the last pit stop yet, you know? You've got time, you've got all day. You don't have to get that aggressive until the last 10 laps here. Especially with all the restarts that happen.

Mako Vunipola named in England squad with brother Billy joining him up to Six Nations
FORMER Thornbury Broncos players Mako and Billy Vunipola have been named in the England squad today.
No 8 Billy, 20, has been named in the Saxons squad for the first time, but will train with the Elite Player Squad, which Mako remains a part of, in the lead up to the Six Nations.
Saracens prop Mako, who turns 22 this Sunday, made his England debut against Fiji in November and brother Billy has been tipped to follow in his footsteps after some impressive performances for Wasps in the Aviva Premiership this season.
Despite the two-year age gap, Billy has never been far behind Mako, winning early call-ups to both the England under-18s and under-20s squads, where they played together.
Both of them grew up in Thornbury and went to The Castle School.
The last time two brothers represented the senior England side was against Italy in February 2010 when Delon and Steffon Armitage played.

With smartphone cameras, photography is moving from memory preservation to in-the-moment sharing. Camera makers must respond, InfoTrends said.
Lightroom is catching on for raw-image editing, according to InfoTrends research, while Apple Aperture and Photoshop decline.
In 2017, bank statements and legal notices apparently will still arrive as paper almost twice as often as electronic documents. The slow-but-steady growth of paperless delivery has its upsides -- and one major downside.
An InfoTrends study shows Adobe's Lightroom is more widely used among photo pros than Apple Aperture, even among Mac users.
Camera shipments will decline in 2009, but SLRs and photo books are among the areas where there still is growth.
Where's your consumerist spirit?
To nobody's surprise, the iPhone 4 has topped Flickr's popularity charts. The phone fits into people's social lives the way today's ordinary cameras don't.
Digital camera prices are dropping, an analyst firm concludes, and buyers are moving toward one camera per person rather than one per family.
Lightroom can't match Photoshop for customization and plug-ins, but growing beyond its original abilities. Also, it's getting more popular for editing raw images.
Urban teens are leaving CCD and CMOS sensors behind in favor of a technology their grandparents would have found familiar: analog film photography.

Arizona Wildcat junior Kevin Steel proved his morning stunner in the 50-meter breaststroke was no fluke.
Steel beat favorite and teammate Kevin Cordes in the prelim positing a new U.S. Open and long-course national record time of 27.33. He bested that by 7/100th (27.26) of a second in the final to edge Cordes (27. 38) again.
Wildcat swimmer Carl Mickelson finished seventh in the event with a time of 28.35.
Tucson Ford Aquatics has now won both breaststroke events and Cordes and Steel will go head-to-head again on Friday in the 100 meter event.
In other events, Sahuaro grad Caitlin Leverenz ('09) finished third in the women's 400-meter individual medley. In the 100-meter butterfly Christine Magnuson took 5th on the women's side while Giles Smith was 7th for the men. Matt Grevers placed second in the men's 50-meter backstroke.

An animated GIF of Adam Ondra dancing. Delete it, mods. I fricking dare you.
We could all stand some gettin' down. Just a little primer on Adam for those of you who don't know his reputation for making all sorts of interesting noises and screaming.
Looks sinful, but I'll let it pass this time.
this is dancing?
More cowbell?
More constipated old men coming over from rc.com and acting like assholes?
does he send her? or just throw a tantrum?
is that really him or a look-a-like from some movie
"You know what this site really needs?" The ability to put certain users on "ignore"? (not aimed at the OP)
Definitely more cowbell! Someone needs to give that kid a haircut in his sleep. He just looks like the ugliest man/boy/woman out there! Yeah, I'm pretty much just jealous, except of the hair and the tantrums.

Give him a break, he's probably a virgin.
I was gonna say tits, but that works too.
This could quite possibly be used as some sort of torture. Press the play button to listen. Industrial Adam Ondra

AWANA is coming back to Mohall for the second year
Now that another school year is here, it is also time to once again start thinking about AWANA. AWANA is a non-denominational program, whose mission is to help churches and parents world-wide raise children and youth to know, love, and serve Christ. The AWANA program was introduced to the Mohall and surrounding area for the first time last year and will again be held this year. Classes are open for all area children from the ages of 3 through the 6th grade.
Sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings starting October 1st and run through the middle of May. Classes will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the New Horizons Church of the Nazarene in Mohall. Please note that the time has changed from last year -- classes will start 15 minutes earlier than the previous year.
Another change to the program is that they will only be having one section of Cubbies this year, so they are limiting the enrollment to 12 in that age group. Cubbies are children 3 to 5 years of age. However, they will have a waiting list if they have more than 12 students who are interested.
AWANA classes are also available for Sparks (Kindergarten through 2nd grade), Truth and Training (3rd through 6th grades).
There is a $15.00 registration fee for anyone who would like to attend, and scholarships are available. Registration forms have been sent out to those who attended last year. Pre-registration is appreciated, as this will help them with preparation for the number of students attending.
If you are interested in sending your child/children and would like more information, you may contact Beth Roelofs at (701) 756-6564 or visit the AWANA website at http://awana.org/
Consider letting your child/children attend AWANA at the New Horizons Church of the Nazarene in Mohall, because kids matter to God!

My son's name is Pasquale, after my father-in-Law. My husband is also Pasquale, but he was named after my Mother-in-Law's Stepfather. It is a tradition of their Italian family, which is Calabrese (Those who derive from Calabria, The southern most region of the Italian mainland)to name the first son after the husband's father and the second son after the wife's father. It's supposed to be the same for girls-to be named after the mothers, but we opted to break tradition when we had our daughter, and named her Victoria. My son goes by the nickname PJ (for Pasquale James) or Squalie by most of the girls he knows because they think it's cute even into his teens. My husband goes by Pat, as did his Grandfather, and my Father-In-Law goes by Noggie or Pat. It is a unique name, especially in Arizona, which my son loves. But he is most proud, and honored to be named after the most wonderful, amazing man we know...his Grandfather.

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton went to the locker room after sustaining a head injury during a second-quarter punt return in Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills.
Hilton was able to walk off under his own power but not before laying on the ground motionless for an extended period of time. Hilton fumbled the ball after receiving the devastating hit but the call on the field was overturned after it was ruled that his backside was down. No helmet-to-helmet penalty was called on the play because Hilton was already spinning downward when the hit was delivered.
With the severity of the blow, it wouldn't be surprising at all if Hilton's day is done. If he is feeling up to returning, he'll likely have to pass concussion protocol before getting back on the field.
Hilton accumulated the team's only offense before leaving, bringing his first punt return back 75 yards to give the Colts a 7-0 lead. Hilton also caught an 18-yard catch before departing.


text: Simple Baguettes: A Tutorial Secrets to French Baguettes by America's-Test-Kitchen 4/17/13 5 Reactions 41 Shares Print 24 3 12 2 0 We've got a partnership with the recipe, equipment, and product testing gurus at America's Test Kitchen. They'll be sharing some of their time-tested recipes and technical expertise with us weekly. Here, the simple baguette is adapted for the home oven. When we set out to create a simple baguette recipe that could be prepared in a home kitchen, the test kitchen was divided. Everyone agreed that it should have a deep golden crust and an open, airy texture. Where we parted ways was on the question of whether you could actually create an outstanding baguette at home in a regular oven. Some were skeptical, but we were determined. During the development process, we did find that there were just some things that couldn't be simplified. First, to get the right flavor we needed to use a sponge. This mixture of flour, water, and yeast develops a full range of unique flavors that improves the longer it sits. We also had to put in some work to find the best oven temperature. Unlike many other rustic breads, baguettes cannot be baked in a super-hot oven, or else they form a crust before fully expanding. Putting baguettes in a 500-degree oven and then immediately lowering the oven to 425 degrees gave us a perfectly crisp crust and moist crumb—and won over the skeptics. See the baguette recipe, as well as step-by-step instructions when you read on. Step 1: Create Sponge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Create a sponge—a small mixture of flour, water, and yeast—that lends the bread its mildly sour and nutty flavors. 1 / 16 Step 2: Allow Sponge to Rise What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The key to using our sponge is to let it rise for about 2 hours then wait for it to fall (about 4 hours) before using. 2 / 16 Step 3: Wait for Sponge to Fall What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The fall indicates that the yeast is active and ready to go. Once the sponge has fallen, it can be held for up to 24 hours at room temperature before using. 3 / 16 Step 4: Mix Dough What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Combine the flour, yeast, and water in a stand mixer until the dough comes together, then let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. 4 / 16 Step 5: Add More Flour (If Needed) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If the dough sticks to the sides of the bowl after several minutes of kneading, it is too wet and you need to add more flour. With the mixer running, add the flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, allowing 30 to 60 seconds between additions. Dough with the right ratio of water to flour should clear the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom. 6 / 16 Step 6: Start Turning What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After the dough has risen for about an hour, it's time to start turning it. Slide a plastic bench scraper or rubber spatula under one side of the dough; gently lift and fold a third of the dough toward the center. 6 / 16 Step 7: Turn on the Other Side What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Repeat the previous step with the opposite side of the dough. 7 / 16 Step 8: Fold Into a Rough Square What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Finally, fold the dough in half, perpendicular to the first folds. The dough shape should be a rough square. Cover, let rise for 30 minutes, then repeat the turning process. Cover and rise about 30 minutes longer, until dough has doubled in size. 8 / 16 Step 9: Form Into Rectangle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Working with one piece of dough at a time, gently pat the dough into a rough 8 by 6-inch rectangle, with the long edge towards you. 9 / 16 Step 10: Fold Bottom Into Center What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gently fold the bottom third of the dough up to the center and press to seal. 11 / 16 Step 11: Fold and Seal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gently fold the bottom of the dough up to the top and press to seal. 11 / 16 Step 12: Create a Crease What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using the side of your floured hand, create a large crease down the middle of the dough. 12 / 16 Step 13: Pinch Top and Bottom Together What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Working from one end of the loaf to the other, pinch the top and bottom of the dough together securely. 13 / 16 Step 14: Roll and Stretch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gently roll the baguette back and forth to stretch it into an even 15-inch-long baguette, about 2 1/2 inches wide. Roll the loaf seam side down and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. 14 / 16 Step 15: Slash the Top What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cut four 1/2–inch-deep slashes along the width of the dough. This creates an escape route for the steam trapped inside the bread as it bakes. 15 / 16 That's It! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Get the baguette recipe.

Slimming programme on offer in Crewkerne
1:00pm Monday 20th January 2014 in News
CREWKERNE Pharmacy is offering a weight-loss programme to customers who want to lose the festive season bulge.
Pharmacists can give people the Lipotrim programme and manager Andy McKee said: "This has proved to be an extremely effective way to lose weight for many years and we're delighted that we can now offer this in the pharmacy.
"It's certainly not an easy diet but it really works. Our job is to help our customers achieve their target weight and, most importantly, maintain it."
Andy says the strict programme enables women to lose about a stone a month and men one-a-half-stone.

Canton Everett Delaware III aka actor Mark Sheppard makes a few comments about his part in the Series 6 episodes The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon in an interview with New Zealand entertainment website Stuff.
The actor reflects on getting his father involved in the show to play and older version of him, being sandwiched between Michael Gambon and Michael Sheen and what it means to play a villain.
Sheppard dazzled Doctor Who viewers earlier this year when he appeared alongside the TARDIS crew to help President Nixon and to defeat the Silence. Continue reading

Runners in Atlanta honored victims of the deadly explosions in Boston with a "Mile of Silence" group run Tuesday morning.
Big Peach Running Company stores opened at 7 a.m., three hours early, so that runners could pay tribute to the spectators and runners of Monday's Boston Marathon.
Neil Van Leeuwen of Atlanta was one of the participants.
"There's something kind of calming about the pitter-patter of feet," Van Leeuwen said. "I think that people running in silence was really appropriate."
Van Leeuwen said he used to live in Boston and ran the Boston Marathon in 2009.
"I was really thinking about my experience with running the Boston Marathon was about people being together and helping each other, and I think this run was a good way to recognize that," he said.
Meghan King of Atlanta had tears in her eyes as she finished the "Mile of Silence."
"I don't think I'll be able to run for a while and not think about it, which I guess is a good thing," King said. "Everyone that was there (in Boston) needs to be thought about for a long time to come."
Karen Kaye helped organize the run. She's the communications director for Big Peach Running Company stores. She said today's turnout shows that runners will not let fear get in the way of their favorite pastime.
"It's so easy to just be afraid to go outside. We have to remember that in this county, we really do live in a safe country," said Kaye. "We shouldn't let the bad guys ruin our lifestyle. We should continue to embrace what we call a pedestrian-active lifestyle."

I have made them from broom handles. These universal tools are around $28 don't know if it will go small enough. Measure your shaft and grind the broom handle on your emery wheel or lathe if you can find a wood worker. GW has made lots of them I think.

Do you know anyone who has installed it loose and tightend it through the access hole after installing the engine?

I put one together loose, and then tightened it after assembled, works but a little tedious. I later went to an auto supply place, and got a $4.95 plastic alignment tool. They had one that would fit the pilot bushing, but not the splines, so I stuck it in a drill, and turned it against a grinder until I had it worn down enough to go through the disk. It didn't fit the plines, but all thet was needed was for it to hold the disk centered, slipping into splines wasn't critical.

Mobile Screen Companies such as Screenmobile, will come to your home or business and repair your screens on site. Typically screen repair is a cumbersome two step process. Removing your old screens (if you have them) and then taking them down to a local glass shop or hardware store. Screenmobile solves both issues by measuring, manufacturing and installing new screens on site and in one trip. Costs are the same and even typically cheaper than taking your screens in. Screenmobile provides stronger frames and fabric than what is normally found at local hardware stores. Screenmobile technicians are specialized in screen repair so can do the work in a fraction of the time. Consider Screenmobile for your next new window screen project.

The average home has 12 to 15 window screens. Giving them your attention now and then can save you money, ensure better views and keep bugs out.
Experts recommend washing all of your screens twice a year to get rid of grime. That is important whether they are made of aluminum or fiberglass with a vinyl coating.
"If you think of them as a filter, you wouldn't want to breathe all the dust and the dirt that builds up," said Scott Walker, president and owner of Screenmobile, a mobile window and door screening company with close to 100 locations throughout the country.
The easiest way to start is by marking screens so you'll remember which window they fit, said Colleen Maiura, a spokeswoman with Lowe's Home Improvement stores.
Use a marker or a small piece of tape that's strong enough not to be washed away by the garden hose. Maiura suggests a cleaning solution of 1 cup ammonia, 3 cups water and a squirt of dish detergent.
Lay the screens on a flat surface, thoroughly wet them with a hose and use a squirt bottle to apply the cleaning mix. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove stubborn grime, then rinse. Don't scrub aluminum screens too hard; you could dent them.
Maiura suggests shaking screens to remove excess water. If you have fiberglass ones, you can gently snap them with a towel to send water drops flying and prevent hard water stains.
If you pay someone to wash your windows, it's a good idea to inspect the screens beforehand. That way you won't blame washers for tears already there, and you can ask them to pay for any damages that occur during their work.
Repairs for a reason
The point of having window screens is to let you open up your home to fresh air while keeping bugs and debris out. Rips and tears in the mesh, or bent screen frames, defeat that purpose.
Walker said you can do some minor repairs on your own. Inexpensive patch kits available at home improvement stores include small pieces of mesh that grab around holes and close them up. Pieces of household tape can cover up tiny tears. Neither option is attractive, Walker adds, but they can serve as quick fixes in otherwise good screens.
Repaint wooden screen frames if needed. Paint will help seal the wood and keep it from warping.
Preventing damage
Children and pets can be especially tough on screens and screen doors. Pet screens can be mounted on sliding screen doors for easy access for pets that enjoy the outdoors.
For those who might have used an elbow to keep a swinging screen door from closing too quickly, there's a better option that won't cost you a repair. Check the top of your door for a piston mechanism that you can turn and increase the pressure, to make the door close more slowly.
To keep window screens and doors sliding smoothly, Walker suggests skipping oil-based lubricants and instead using a silicone-based lubricant, such as furniture polish.
If you have the storage space, cleaning screens in the fall and then storing them away during the winter can extend their life, experts say.
Replace as needed
If a screen has large or multiple holes, or if its frame is bent or broken, then it's time for a new one.
"Our rule of thumb is that if the frame doesn't seal up against the window, then the bugs can come around there, so you'd need to replace it," Walker said.
Fiberglass screens, which have a vinyl coating, will begin to show white strands, which means "there is virtually no integrity" left in the screen, he adds.
New products
If you're switching screens, consider a charcoal color for better visibility. Fine-mesh screens can block small bugs and improve your view. The screens are made of super-fine strands so homeowners see less screen and more scenery.
Other new products include strong pet screens that cats can climb without tearing and retractable screen doors that are mounted on doorjambs so they're hidden when homeowners don't need them.
Homeowners will also start seeing strong, stainless steel screens on the market that offer some security.
"You get the look of a screen door, but the benefits of a security door," said Walker.

Screen Safety and Children
Have you thought of window screens as a safety issue? Screens for windows, doors and porch/patio applications are designed primarily to keep insects out of a home. A typical screen is made from an aluminum frame and a fiberglass or aluminum screen mesh. While seemingly strong, kids and parents can develop a false sense of security that screens will stop a child or adult from falls. This is true of all types of related screen fabrics, such as sun control screens, pet resistant type screens, or screens that are made heavier than industry standards and sold as superior, or heavy duty screens.
Screen safety applies not only to window screens, but also door screens and porch/patio screens. All can present this false sense of security. This site examines these screen safety issues and brings the awareness level up to both parents and kids. Please take a few moments to browse the additional screen safety information on this website, and to visit the resource links provided.
Window Screen Safety
There are four main components of a typical screen. The frame (typically aluminum), the corners (plastic or aluminum), the spline (rubber material used to hold screen fabric in the frame), and the screen fabric itself. Some or all of these components may fail when subjected to pressure, such as when a child or adult falls against a screen. It does not matter how tight the screen spline is, or how tight the frame is installed in the window frame, it may fail.
Window Safety Checklist
Has your family developed an emergency fire escape plan? Determine your family's emergency escape plan and practice it regularly. In the plan, include two avenues of escape from every room. Remember children may have to rely on a window to escape a fire. Help them learn to safely use a window under these circumstances. Make sure you have identified a safe meeting place outside.
DO YOU KEEP WINDOWS SHUT WHEN CHILDREN ARE AROUND? You should keep your windows closed and locked when children are around. When opening windows for ventilation, open windows that children cannot reach. Also, set and enforce rules about keeping children's play away from windows and/or patio doors. Falling through the glass can be fatal or cause a serious injury.
Don't rely on insect screens to prevent a fall. Insect screens are designed to provide ventilation while keeping insects out; they are not designed to, nor will they prevent a child's fall from a window.
IS THERE FURNITURE PLACED UNDER OR NEAR WINDOWS IN YOUR HOME? o Keep furniture - or anything children can climb - away from windows. Children may use such objects as a climbing aid.
These windows are useless in an emergency if the devices on them do not have a functioning release mechanism. Time is critical when escaping a fire. Consult your local fire department or building code official to determine proper window guard placement.
INSPECT YOUR HOME'S WINDOWS CAREFULLY. ARE ANY WINDOWS IN YOUR HOME PAINTED OR NAILED SHUT? Never paint or nail windows shut. You must be able to open them to escape in an emergency.
Do not install window unit air conditioners in windows that may be needed for escape or rescue in an emergency. The air conditioning unit could block or impede escape through the window. Always be sure that you have at least one window in each sleeping and living area that meets escape and rescue requirements.
Plant shrubs and soft edging like wood chips or grass under windows to cushion potential falls. The surface can greatly affect the degree of injury sustained from a fall.
Door Screen Safety
Door screens will not prevent children or adults from falling, or keep children from pool areas. This includes retractable screens, swinging screen doors, security screen doors and sliding doors. This also includes doors with pet doors, pet guards or pet resistant screens. All of these products are designed to primarily keep insects out and some level of pet resistance, but should not be considered child safe.
Most screen doors feature latches. Latches are designed to keep the door closed in case of wind or pets pushing upon doors. Latches especially lower quality plastic latches used by some door manufacturers are poorly designed and even though they look "locked", in reality they only "latch" the doors closed.
Sliding screen door latches can be bent inadvertently and become not useable. Many sliding screen doors can be lifted off latches, sometimes just by leaning against the doors. Lesser quality sliding screen doors may not stay on the screen door tracks and simply fall off. Sliding screen doors should not be used to keep children from pool areas. Pool covers and pool fences that are specially designed for child protection should be used for such applications.
The screen fabric on all types of doors could be too worn, have holes that could be enlarged, and the spline that holds the screen fabric to the door could be too small. When the spline is too small the screen can easily detach from the aluminum frame. All of these subjects could create unsafe situations
Porch/Patio Screen Safety
Screens that enclose a porch or patio are not designed to prevent children or adults from falling. Screens on decks or second stories need to have pickets on the bottom section to prevent children from falling through the screen. Local building ordinances will describe the requirements needed for these. Consider your porch or patio enclosure as an outdoor room for insect protection only. These should not be considered a child safe room that will keep children from falling or pool areas.
As with all of these screen related products, the screen fabric can degrade overtime by outdoor exposure and sun damage. The screen fabric may become brittle and weaken over time. It may look strong, but has no structure or protection from falls. Children should always be supervised in Porch or patio screen enclosures. Do not trust the screen fabric or screen doors latches to be secure enough to prevent a child from exiting.
Screen Safety Awareness is an important public awareness campaign by The Screenmobile Corporate and Screenmobile franchise locations. We are the nation's leading window and door screen franchise with nearly 100 locations across the county. We do not claim to be window safety experts, we are striving to raise the awareness to this issue to parents and children. Screenmobile provides quality window and door screens to consumers, screen doors, retractable screen door, porch screen enclosure and security screen doors.

The Screenmobile Franchise Corporation started humbly enough in 1980 with one used tent trailer and a vision - to follow a proven business model and equip hundreds of well trained independent operators to custom build, repair and replace window and door screens, on-site at the customer's convenience. In 1984, the company began franchising and today has 98 franchise owners operating across 26 States.
For the past twenty-six years, the hosting of annual conventions and regional meetings to interface with franchise owners has been an integral part of Screenmobile's successful and time tested business plan.
"It is absolute essential that the latest industry happenings, vendor news, construction techniques and company developments be shared with our franchise owners on a regular basis so that we are all operating from the same playbook," said Monty L. Walker, vice president and one of the original three founders of the company. "Our annual conventions and regional meetings offer opportunities for invaluable face-to-face interaction with the best champions for our brand."
The company's annual get-together has grown steadily in size since the very first convention was hosted in a small conference room at a Desert Hot Springs' hotel near corporate headquarters. These days, 140 attendees, 20-30 vendors and corporate staffers gather at that same place they have for the past nine years - The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Walker has been in charge of coordinating every convention since the corporation's founding and offers the following tips for success.
Convention Roundtable.
You can never "over plan" for a convention and planning should start at least 6 months in advance. Once the convention has started, there is little room for course correction.
It is important that a good working relationship be maintained with the personnel at your host venue. Make friends with them and open the lines of communication early. Let them know what you are planning to do and work with them to identify any possible issues in advance. You don't want a shortage of rooms or unexpected paperwork to pop up at the last moment that leaves you scrambling and stressed.
All personnel that are involved with the convention should know each other's assigned roles and anticipate the needs of the attendees as well as event sponsors and vendors. You should have methods of communication tested and in place. A variety of smartphone apps are available that enable group texting or act as two-way radios.
Don't rely on your own understand of what programs you think should make up the convention agenda. Ask your attendees what they would like to see, what they would like to learn or what issues they would like to be addressed. Based upon their feedback and prior to the start of the convention, convey to the attendees what programs you have in place, what knowledge they will take away and what return on investment they can expect to realize. You do not want to offer programs that are not relevant to their business needs. They will not appreciate their time and money being wasted if the convention fails to hit the mark.
Nothing can ruin an otherwise stellar convention faster that a microphone that doesn't work of a presentation screen that no one can see. You can rely upon the venue's A/V equipment and technicians but that does not guarantee there will be no issues. One option is to rent new equipment in the host city or bring equipment you are familiar with along with you. Be sure to arrive early enough for set up and testing.
D.Winters. (Top Sales)
Once you have decided on a program agenda, you may be tempted to stray. Don't. Stick to it and execute. A good convention program is made up of three components - social, business and peer-to-peer. A good host city and hotel will have plenty of opportunities for socializing and the planning of fun activities, like a bowling tournament. An awards ceremony is also a vital social element that should not be overlooked. The business portion should be made up of presentations and programs hosted by corporate or by invited vendors of sponsors. Remember to stick to the time table. And lastly, your attendees can be your best source of valuable information. Allow time for peer-to-peer interaction by facilitating roundtable discussions or open mic forums on topics of interest. Keep everything as lively and fun as possible. Nobody likes a boring convention.
Craig Anderson
Upon completion of the convention, poll the attendees. Figure out what worked and what didn't work. What activities were appreciated, could be improved upon or should be scrapped all together. After several years of survey results are in, a pattern will be established that reflects what your attendees like and what they don't like.
And finally, many convention planners believe that booking a high-profile speaker to deliver a speech is key to a convention's success. Regardless of how dynamic a speaker's address may be, if it is not highly relevant to the audience's business goals your attendees will feel let down.

The Danville High School gymnasium filled with a buzz earlier this week, not in anticipation of any athletic event, but with discussions regarding success — students' success.
Almost 80 members of the community met Tuesday with Danville High freshmen and juniors to discuss grades and other topics. The event, Making the Grade, was organized by Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat, associate superintendent at District 118 schools.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vermilion County will build on that initial session as it kicks off a mentoring program for freshmen next week.
The one-on-one sessions are designed to help motivate students, to help them learn to organize their school work and to motivate them to succeed. Some students might not see that kind of support from other adults in their lives, so providing a mentor from the community could be the spark that propels the students to excel in the classroom.
Alice Payne, a retired District 118 administrator and the executive director of Laura Lee Fellowship House, said, "We talked about what they could do to turn their grades around, but you always try to highlight the positives, too. We talked about what they could do to move a B ro an A and that it's important to maintain their grades, graduate and go to college or find a vocational career."
Sometimes, a simple conversation with an adult who shows an honest interest is enough to turn a student's academic career toward a more positive direction. Such sessions are sure to yield better results than any standardized test. Another session is planned for April 11, and some of the adult mentors have promised to keep in touch with their students during the year.
Those who volunteered to spend their Tuesday talking with students might not see any immediate effects from their efforts, but the real results will be know in a couple of years when these students walk across a stage to pick up their diploma.

This time of year, your calendar is likely to be full of holiday parties, office gatherings, cookie exchanges and family meals.
The common theme of any of these events is delicious desserts, which are usually loaded with added sugars and unhealthy fats.
Take control this holiday season, and experiment with these healthful baking tips to benefit yourself and your loved ones.
The U.S. Agriculture Department labels solid fats and added sugars as empty calories, and recommends that these make up no more than 15 percent of your diet. However, most Americans consume about 35 percent of their calories from these empty calorie sources.
What are solid fats?
Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature (i.e. butter and shortening). Most are high in saturated fats or trans fats, which tend to raise "bad" LDL cholesterol levels and increase the risk for heart disease.
What are added sugars?
According to the USDA, added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared. This includes white granulated sugar, brown sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, raw sugar, honey and maple syrup. This does not include naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk and fruits.
So, the overall goal for healthful baking is to reduce the empty calories from added sugars and solid fats and replace them with more healthful ingredients. Besides, most recipes call for more sugar and fat than are actually needed for decadent flavor. To preserve the flavor of your recipes, the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends reducing the sugar and fat by 25 percent to 33 percent.
Healthful baking tips
1. When reducing sugar in your recipes, be sure to add spices for flavor. Try cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, vanilla bean or pumpkin pie spice.
2. Instead of solid fats such as butter and shortening, go for vegetable oils such as canola oil for less saturated and trans fat. Even better, unsweetened applesauce can replace half the oil in your recipe to help cut down on overall fat. The applesauce also adds natural sweetness and fiber. Canned pumpkin or sweet potato puree can also be used as a substitute for these solid fats while also offering health benefits from vitamins A and C.

Tucson Police are still working under the assumption that 6-year-old Isabel Celis, reported missing on April 21, can be found alive.
"We have no indication that she's not OK, that she's not alive," Tucson Police Sgt. Maria Hawke said.
However, Hawke said there are no new developments in the case.
Tucson police have 20 investigators and 30 support staff working with FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service personnel in the search.
Hawke said the amount of personnel on the case will remain the same as long as necessary.
Hawke said police are still following more than 1,000 leads.
She said no one has been ruled out as a suspect, but no one has been identified as a suspect.
Hawke said police have not identified any suspect vehicle, either.
Today's briefing from the police was the first since their last daily update on May 8.
There will be no media briefings by the police over the weekend, unless something breaks in the investigation. Hawke said the next briefing will be Monday at 2 p.m. Tucson News Now will stream the briefing live.

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Get Your Manager's Support
To get your manager to say "yes" to the day-to-day or formal work flexibility, have a plan that considers your needs and how your job will get done.
Managers don't want to lose good people.They are more likely to talk to you about the day-to-day or formal work flexibility you need if you come to the table with a plan.
This plan needs to explain how you will:
- Get your job done with work flexibility.
- Communicate with your manager, your customers, and your colleagues.
- Collaborate and coordinate with your team to ensure coverage.
- Handle unforeseen events that may require you to be flexible with your flexibility.
No need to explain "why" you want to telework, flex your hours, compress your workweek or reduce your schedule. In fact, it's better not to explain the reason behind your request to work differently.
Stick to "how" you will do your job and, nine times out of ten, you will get "yes" at least to a trial period.

Thanks to these wonderful people, they've made things so much easier for me. I can now change the fonts, the backgrounds, everything, by altering one file.
I've got a problem now. I updated the css file, but for some reason, GeoCities insists on using an old one that was supposed to be overwritten.
Way to go. I'm in the process of converting from table to a pure CSS layout. Ugh, the data transfer is time-consuming, but CSS is oh-so-more flexible.
I think I see your problem. From your Benifits of Nuclear page:
The way CSS works is that the last line read takes precedence. Therefore, since the Geocities CSS file loads up last, it rules.Code:<title>Freedom For Fission- the benefits of nuclear</title> <LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="../fissionstyles.css" TYPE="text/css"> </head> <body> <!-- following code added by server. PLEASE REMOVE --> <link href="http://us.geocities.com/js_source/div.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><script language="JavaScript" src="http://us.geocities.com/js_source/div03.js"></script> <!-- preceding code added by server. PLEASE REMOVE -->
Beat them at their own game. Put your CSS link (<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="../fissionstyles.css" TYPE="text/css">) in the next line down.
Now you're suppose to put the CSS links in the head and this'll move it to the body, but... that's where they went. Just make sure you put it in before any layout or text code.
Hey look! It's now updated. It obviously just takes some time for some stupid reason.

SREC Prices & Knowledge
SREC prices are constantly changing, but when monetized properly, solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) can be a very valuable component of project financing for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar energy systems.
SRECs: Our Approach
At Sol Systems, we provide SREC owners with three unique options to monetize their SRECs: Sol Annuity, Sol Upfront, and Sol Brokerage. Customers that select Sol Brokerage are eligible to receive a quarterly SREC payment and are paid the weighted average price of all SREC sales in that quarter. Our approach differs from SREC brokers and auction-based platforms in that we have in-house experts who are constantly monitoring SREC markets, communicating with SREC buyers (mainly utilities and energy suppliers), and achieving the highest market-based SREC prices available on behalf of our customers.
For example, if the Sol Systems portfolio team sells Maryland SRECs on behalf of three Sol Brokerage customers in Q1 of 2014, the below table demonstrates the hypothetical volume and price details of each transaction. Although the spot market value declined throughout the quarter, all three customers would receive the weighted average price of $136.88 per Maryland SREC sold that quarter.
|Sale Date
|# of SRECs
|Sale Price
|Customer 1
|Customer 2
|Customer 3
|Q1 Weighted Average Price
SREC Prices
Since our inception in 2008, the Sol Systems team has established a reputation of clearing at the highest spot market SREC prices available on behalf of our residential and commercial SREC customers. Please see below for our most recent Sol Brokerage spot market SREC prices, which we update on this page every month.

Ten of the best bands from across the nation, including two from Arizona, competed in the high school band competition.
The Fiesta Bowl Band Championships gave each school 10 minutes to show the judges a flute tweeting, drum beating, horn tooting fun time.
"So far I couldn't ask for a better experience. I'm so glad to be here and just walking into the stadium I got a great feeling," said Katie Sheets of the Grove City, Calif. marching band.
Grove City High School was named the 2012 Fiesta Bowl Band Champion. Basha High School from Chandler placed 3rd, and Casa Grande High School placed 4th.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Execution by electrocution, usually performed using an electric chair, is an execution method originating in the United States in which the condemned person is strapped to a specially built wooden chair and electrocuted through electrodes placed on the body. This execution method was created by employees of Thomas Edison during the War of Currents, and has been used only in the United States and, for a period of several decades,[1] in the Philippines (its first use there was in 1924 under American occupation, last in 1976).
Historically, once the condemned person was attached to the chair, various cycles (differing in voltage and duration) of alternating current would be passed through the individual's body, in order to cause fatal damage to the internal organs (including the brain). The first jolt of electric current was designed to cause immediate unconsciousness and brain stem death;[citation needed] the second one was designed to cause fatal damage to the vital organs. Death was frequently caused by electrical overstimulation of the heart.
Although the electric chair has become a symbol of the death penalty in the United States, its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection, which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution. Although some states still maintain electrocution as a method of execution, today it is only maintained as a secondary method that may be chosen over lethal injection at the request of the prisoner. As of 2010, electrocution is an optional form of execution in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia.[2] They allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method. In the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, the electric chair has been retired except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to legislated dates in 1998 (Kentucky: March 31, 1998; Tennessee: December 31, 1998) and who chose electrocution. In both states, inmates who do not choose electrocution or inmates who committed their crimes after the designated date are killed by lethal injection. The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Arkansas and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution. On February 8, 2008, the Nebraska Supreme Court determined that execution by electric chair was a "cruel and unusual punishment" under the state's constitution. This brought executions of this type to an end in Nebraska, the only remaining state to retain electrocution as its sole method of execution for murder.[3]

In 1881, the state of New York established a committee to determine a new, more humane method of execution to replace hanging.[4] Alfred P. Southwick, a member of the committee, developed the idea of running electric current through a condemned man after hearing a case of how relatively painlessly and quickly a drunk man died due to touching exposed power lines.[5] As Southwick was a dentist accustomed to performing procedures on subjects in chairs, his electrical device appeared in the form of a chair to restrain the inmate while being electrocuted.[citation needed]
The first electric chair was produced by Harold P. Brown and Arthur Kennelly. Brown worked as an employee of Thomas Edison, hired for the purpose of researching electrocution and developing the electric chair. Kennelly, Edison's chief engineer at the West Orange facility was assigned to work with Brown on the project.[6] Since Brown and Kennelly worked for Edison and Edison promoted their work, the development of the electric chair is often erroneously credited to Edison himself.
Brown intended to use alternating current (AC), then emerging as a potent rival to direct current (DC), which was further along in commercial development.[citation needed] The decision to use AC was partly driven by Edison's claim that AC was more lethal than DC.[citation needed]
To prove the danger of AC electricity and its suitability for executions, Brown and Edison publicly killed many animals with AC for the press in hopes of associating alternating current with electrical death in the midst of the current wars with George Westinghouse. It was at these events that the term "electrocution" was coined. The term "electrocution" originally referred only to electrical execution (from which it is a portmanteau word), and not to accidental electrical deaths. However, since no English word was available for the latter process, the word "electrocution" eventually took over as a description of all circumstances of electrical death with the new rise of commercial electricity. Most of their experiments were conducted at Edison's West Orange, New Jersey, laboratory in 1888. The demonstrations of electrocution apparently had their intended effects, and the committee adopted the AC electric chair in 1889.[7]
The first person sentenced to be executed by the electric chair was William Kemmler, a convicted murderer. An appeal was made to the New York Court of Appeals on the grounds that use of electricity as a means of execution constituted a cruel and unusual punishment and was thus contrary to the constitution of the United States and the state of New York.[8] On December 30, 1889, the writ of habeas corpus sworn out on Kemmler's behalf was denied by the court, with Judge Dwight writing in a lengthy ruling:
"We have no doubt that if the Legislature of this State should undertake to prescribe for any offense against its laws the punishment of burning at the stake, breaking at the wheel, etc., it would be the duty of the courts to pronounce upon such attempt the condemnation of the Constitution. The question now to be answered is whether the legislative act here assailed is subject to the same condemnation. Certainly it is not so on its face, for, although the mode of death described is conceded to be unusual, there is no common knowledge or consent that it is cruel; it is a question of fact whether an electric current of sufficient intensity and skillfully applied will produce death without unnecessary suffering."[9]
Kemmler was executed in New York's Auburn Prison on August 6, 1890; the "state electrician" was Edwin F. Davis. The first 17-second passage of current through Kemmler caused unconsciousness, but failed to stop his heart and breathing. The attending physicians, Edward Charles Spitzka and Charles F. Macdonald, came forward to examine Kemmler. After confirming Kemmler was still alive, Spitzka reportedly called out, "Have the current turned on again, quick, no delay." The generator needed time to re-charge, however. In the second attempt, Kemmler was shocked with 2,000 volts. Blood vessels under the skin ruptured and bled, and the areas around the electrodes singed. The entire execution took about eight minutes. George Westinghouse later commented that "they would have done better using an axe,"[10] and a witnessing reporter claimed that it was "an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging."[11]
The first woman to be executed in the electric chair was Martha M. Place, executed at Sing Sing Prison on March 20, 1899.[12]
The electric chair was adopted by Ohio (1897), Massachusetts (1900), New Jersey (1906) and Virginia (1908), and soon became the prevalent method of execution in the United States, replacing hanging. Most of the states that currently use or have used the electric chair lie east of the Mississippi River. The electric chair remained the most prominent execution method until the mid-1980s when lethal injection became widely accepted for conducting judicial executions.
Other countries appear to have contemplated using the method, sometimes for special reasons. Minutes of the British War Cabinet released in 2006 show that in December 1942, Winston Churchill mused that Adolf Hitler might be executed in Trafalgar square using an electric chair borrowed from the United States. 'This man is the mainspring of evil. Instrument — electric chair, for gangsters, no doubt available on lease-lend'.[13]
A number of states still allow the condemned person to choose between electrocution and lethal injection. In all, twelve inmates nationwide—seven in Virginia, three in South Carolina and one each in Arkansas and Tennessee—have opted for electrocution over lethal injection. The last use of the chair was on January 16, 2013, when Robert Gleason, Jr. decided to go to the electric chair in Virginia.[14]
After 1966, electrocutions ceased for a time in the US, but the method continued in the Philippines.[1] A well-publicized triple execution took place in May 1972, when Jaime Jose, Basilio Pineda and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted for the 1967 abduction and gang-rape of the young actress Maggie de la Riva.
Notable individuals who went to the electric chair include: George Stinney, Leon Czolgosz, Bruno Hauptmann, Hans B. Schmidt, Harry Pierpont, Giuseppe Zangara, Sacco and Vanzetti, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Ruth Snyder, Lepke Buchalter, Anna Marie Hahn, Floyd Allen, Donald Henry Gaskins, Albert Fish, Charles Starkweather, Gerald Stano, Larry Gene Bell and Ted Bundy.
There was a botched electrocution at Sing Sing in 1903. Fred Van Wormer was electrocuted and pronounced dead. But, upon arrival to the autopsy room he was seen to be breathing once again. The executioner had gone home, but was called back to re-electrocute Wormer. Before the executioner returned, Wormer had actually died. Nonetheless, Wormer's corpse was set into the chair again and electrocuted with 1700 volts for thirty seconds.[citation needed]
In 1895, Maria Barbella became the first woman to be sentenced to death in the electric chair,[15] but she was released on appeal in 1896.[citation needed] The first woman to die in the electric chair was Martha Place at New York's Sing Sing Prison on March 20, 1899.
The electrocution of housewife Ruth Snyder at Sing Sing on the evening of January 12, 1928, for the March 1927 murder of her husband was made famous when news photographer Tom Howard, working for the New York Daily News, smuggled a hidden camera into the death chamber and photographed her in the electric chair as the current was turned on. The photograph was a front-page sensation the following morning, and remains one of the most famous newspaper photographs of all time.[16]
A record was set on July 13, 1928, when seven men were executed consecutively in the electric chair at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville.
On August 8, 1942, six German agents convicted of espionage and attempted sabotage in the Quirin case for their role in Operation Pastorius during World War II were executed by electric chair at the District of Columbia jail.[17]
James French was executed on August 10, 1966, the last person electrocuted until 1979. French was the first person executed in Oklahoma since Richard Dare was electrocuted June 1, 1963 and the only person executed in 1966.[citation needed]
On May 25, 1979, John Arthur Spenkelink became the first electrocuted person after the Gregg v. Georgia decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1976. He was the first person to be executed in the United States in this manner since 1966.
The last person to be executed via the electric chair without the choice of an alternative method was Lynda Lyon Block on May 10, 2002 in Alabama.[citation needed]
The use of the electric chair has declined as legislators sought what they believed to be more humane methods of execution. Lethal injection became the most popular method, aided by media reports of botched electrocutions in the early 1980s.
The electric chair has been criticized because of several instances in which the subjects were killed only after being subjected to multiple electric shocks. This led to a call for ending of the practice because many see it as cruel and unusual punishment.[18] Trying to address such concerns, Nebraska introduced a new electrocution protocol in 2004, which called for administration of a 15-second-long application of 2,450 volts of electricity; after a 15-minute wait, an official then checks for signs of life. New concerns raised regarding the 2004 protocol resulted, in April 2007, in the ushering in of the current Nebraska protocol, calling for a 20-second-long application of 2,450 volts of electricity. (Prior to the 2004 protocol change, an initial eight-second application of 2,450 volts was administered, followed by a one-second pause, then a 22-second application at 480 volts. After a 20-second break, the cycle was repeated three more times.)
In 1946, the electric chair failed to kill Willie Francis, who reportedly shrieked "take it off! Let me breathe!" after the current was applied. It turned out that the portable electric chair had been improperly set up by an intoxicated trustie. A case was brought before the U.S. Supreme Court (Francis v. Resweber),[19] with lawyers for the condemned arguing that although Francis did not die, he had, in fact, been executed. The argument was rejected on the basis that re-execution did not violate the double jeopardy clause of the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution, and Francis was returned to the electric chair and successfully executed in 1947.
Recorded incidents of botched electrocutions were prevalent after the national moratorium ended January 17, 1977; two in Alabama, three in Florida, one in Georgia, one in Indiana and three in Virginia. All five states now have lethal injection as the default method if a choice is not made.
As of 2013[update], the only places in the world which still reserve the electric chair as an option for execution are the U.S. states of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. (Arkansas and Oklahoma laws provide for its use should lethal injection ever be held to be unconstitutional.) Inmates in the other states must select either it or lethal injection. In the states of Tennessee and Kentucky only inmates sentenced before a certain date can choose to be executed by elecric chair. In the state of Florida, on July 8, 1999, Allen Lee Davis convicted of murder was executed in the Florida electric chair "Old Sparky". Davis' face was bloodied and photographs taken, which were later posted on the Internet. The 1997 execution of Pedro Medina in Florida created controversy when flames burst from the inmate's head. Lethal injection has been the primary method of execution in the state of Florida since 2000. On February 15, 2008, the Nebraska Supreme Court declared execution by electrocution to be "cruel and unusual punishment" prohibited by the Nebraska Constitution.[20]
Robert Gleason, executed in the electric chair at Greensville Correctional Center, Virginia on January 16, 2013, is the most recent individual to choose electrocution over lethal injection.[21][22]
