The king of talk radio, the resuscitator of AM radio, either loved or hated, he's listened to on nearly 600 stations and 20 million people a week, Rush Limbaugh spent Aug. 1, celebrating his 25th anniversary hosting the Premiere Networks-syndicated "The Rush Limbaugh Show."
A Premiere Networks release provided these numbers for Limbaugh: 788,918,000 seconds, 13,148,640 minutes, 219,144 hours, 9,131 days and 1,304 weeks on their broadcasting. And Limbaugh does it all solo; he rarely has guests though he does take phone calls.
Of the show, Limbaugh said: "The relationship we've established here — between the audience and myself — is everything … It's meant more to me than I'll ever be able to fully describe. It's the best three hours of the day! We're going to do this for a long time to come."
Limbaugh has long been the top-rated talker nationally and often locally. A release says that his audience has grown 11% in the past year alone.
Limbaugh has received NAB Radio Marconi Awards for Syndicated Personality of the Year in 1992, 1995, 2000 and 2005. He was inducted into the NAB Radio Hall of Fame in 1993 and the NAB Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1998.
President of Content and Affiliate Services for National Media Groups, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, Julie Talbott said, "Few broadcasters have achieved the same level of success as Rush Limbaugh, and to sustain it for 25 years while delivering positive results for our partners is truly remarkable."
Rush Limbaugh is a festering sore on the ass of the Republican Party. The sooner the GOP dissociate themselves from the fact-devoid, inflammatory, vitriolic hate-fest that he calls a radio show, the better off that they will be in the eyes of most Americans.

BEREA - The Browns have talked a lot about character during the draft, which makes the seventh-round selection of defensive end Armonty Bryant a surprise.
Bryant, who played at East Central Oklahoma, was arrested after twice selling marijuana to an undercover officer on school grounds. He was suspended three games last season.
"My coach said people make mistakes," Bryant said. "I felt like it was a stupid move on my part. I should have been more mature with the situation. I know I have a second chance. I feel like I won't let the Cleveland Browns down. I appreciate them taking a second chance on me."
Bryant has also dealt with injury issues. He tore a labrum near the end of the 2011 season and had surgery prior to last season. He didn't lift weights at the combine in February. He said he's now 100 percent healthy.
In eight games last season Bryant registered 54 tackles, including 17.5 for minus yardage and 10.5 sacks. He could play the hybrid role of end/outside linebacker.
"What I bring to the table is a relentless attitude," Bryant said. "I want to get to the quarterback and make a big play. I want to be the person when we're in a hard situation, you can pull me aside and say we need this and I can be that guy that can deliver."
BIG FAN: Former Browns quarterback Brian Sipe is a fan of third-round selection Leon McFadden of San Diego State. Sipe played at SDSU before joining the Browns and becoming a fan favorite in the early 1980s.
McFadden will compete for a starting job at cornerback.
"He left me a voice mail last night," McFadden said. "I got in late. I'll call him at an appropriate time. He was pumped up. You could tell from his voice on the phone that he was happy for me."
ON THE MEND: Notre Dame safety Jamoris Slaughter, the Browns' pick in the sixth round, is still rehabilitating a torn Achilles' tendon. The injury occurred in the third game of last season against Michigan State. Slaughter had planted and was prepared to drive forward when he heard a pop.
"I'm about 90 percent," Slaughter said. "I can do sprinting and cutting drills and pretty much everything. It's all coming back in line. The main thing is getting power back and doing single leg weights. I should be 100 percent by training camp."
THE DOOR IS OPEN: Slaughter will be on the field initially on special teams. The plan is for him to compete for a starting job, most likely at free safety. His competition next season will be Tashaun Gipson and Eric Hagg.
"You could call me a big hitter," Slaughter said of his style. "It started happening when I was playing park ball in little league. I was always a skinny kid that could hit. I was one of the first kids to knock off the quarterback's helmet in the 98-pound league. I have a laidback side on the field, but on the field I can be an alter ego and be another person."
IN THE FOLD: The Browns officially announced the signing of receiver Davone Bess to a three-year contract extension Saturday. Bess was acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins. The teams swapped picks in the fourth and fifth rounds.
INTERESTING OPENER: The season opener against the Dolphins has taken on a new look. There's the Bess angle of facing his ex-teammates. Another angle is having the top two pass rushers in the draft on opposite sides of the field Browns linebacker Barkevious Mingo and Dolphins linebacker Dion Jordan.
HEALTH CONCERNS: Offensive tackle Garrett Gilkey, the second of two seventh-round picks by the Browns, had what was called a "simple" heart procedure entering his freshman year of high school. In 2011, his junior year at Chadron State, Gilkey's appendix burst two hours before the season opener.

Dell Rapids senior Cole Langer has spent his career barreling over defenders while running the football. But he's a small town hero, who's done a lot more than that.
"Cole is great player, but more than that he's great student, great in the community, the kids look up to him." says head coach Steve Hansen
"He's a great teammate, he works hard and deserves everything he gets." says senior Bryce Koch.
Despite dealing with a number of injuries in his career, Langer, has rushed for almost 25-hundred yards and scored 42 touchdowns in a Quarrier uniform. His team will be playing for a third straight state title on Friday night against Harrisburg.
"It's been a great run for the seniors, playing for another championship. It's been a lot of fun." says Langer.
Football was certainly in Cole's blood, he's the grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Jim Langer. And he'll follow his granddad's footsteps, playing college football at South Dakota State.
"I wanted to stay close to home. I've wanted to go there since I was a kid. I go up and tailgate for the home games, it was a good fit." says Langer.

Helsinki Ink
Step inside Marimekko's printing factory for a look at how its iconic textiles come to life.
As Finland continued its slow recovery from World War II in the early 1950s, textile designer Armi Ratia seized the opportunity to bring hope and optimism to the country–—in the form of brightly colored and boldly patterned fabrics and clothing. From the remnants of her husband Viljo's oilcloth company, the couple launched Marimekko in 1951. Less than a decade later, Jackie Kennedy graced a December 1960 cover of Sports Illustrated in a pink Marimekko dress, and the company took off, gaining renown for its bright, modern, fashion-forward textiles and clothing.
Today, a visit to Marimekko's 43,000-square-foot factory in Helsinki reveals that its printing process and emphasis on big, bold patterns–—which continue to bring the company great success–—have changed little over the years. "Screen printing is a tried-and-true old technology, and printing large, six-foot-long patterns is rare these days," says Petri Juslin, manager of Marimekko's artwork studio. "This, however, is what we are known and loved for and what we excel at." While many of its competitors are outsourcing their manufacturing, Marimekko continues to keep its production right at home and at the heart of its business, printing more than a million yards of fabric each year.
1. Design
"One designer, Erja Hirvi, even came in with real branches she had attached to a piece of paper with tape," Juslin says. The result was Lumimarja, which became one of the company's best-selling textiles.
Once a design is approved, the artwork studio team determines the necessary number of colors. Marimekko designs can have up to 12 colors, though overprinting layers of ink can create additional shades. More colors means more work–—though pricing is based on material and possible treatments and not on the color quantities. "We don't charge more for more-expensive-to-produce fabrics," Juslin says. The most difficult pattern to date is Vattenblank, designed by Astrid Sylwan for Marimekko's Fall 2011 collection. The textile resembles a contemporary painting and is a tour-de-force of the company's printing know-how. Its gradient effects, overlapping colors, and the sheer size of the repeat make it more a work of art than an industrially produced product.
2. Color Selection
The recipe for each color is attached to its corresponding fabric swatch, and after the designer chooses the right combination, the recipes are sent to the color kitchen. Some colors, such as beige and gray tones, are more difficult to produce than others; turquoise is notorious for sticking poorly to fabrics. "We have our trade secrets that ensure that the colors work," says Anu-Mari Salmi, the production manager.
The inks are stored in plastic wrap–covered buckets, which prevents a thick, top layer from forming. Each day, the color kitchen prepares hundreds of pounds of ink for the hues needed for the following day's printing. "Thanks to having our own facilities, we can react quickly to sales," Salmi says.
3. Printing
With the screen-printing plates in place, workers spread the inks across the plates by hand. No computers are needed to determine the right quantity. "We trust our professionals," Salmi says. "They have the know-how in their hands." A metal rod guided by magnets, which can be adjusted for speed and weight according to the thickness of the fabric, presses the ink through the screen into the fabric. Once the ink is applied and the plate removed, the fabric moves forward automatically, and the next color is added through the next plate.
4. Finishing and Shipping
Then, Marimekko's quality inspec-tors, some who have worked at the company for more than 30 years, hand-inspect and grade the fabric. Theirs is a meticulous task: There can be only four small errors over 16 yards of fabric. If the fabric passes, it is cut and rolled into bolts, ready for displaying in stores or turning into garments, bags, cushions, tablecloths, and other Marimekko products.
Finally, trucks are packed with yards of colorful fabrics–—from the iconic Unikko print to those like the blossomed Keisarinna. The trucks drive to shops and ports and eventually transport the textiles to customers around the world.
Watch our slideshow of iconic and favorite Marimekko patterns.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We personalized the picture with a shot of the bride and groom outdoors in a forest. The quality of printing was great and captured details in the background such as tree branches and leaves. I ordered the gold bottom and it came out great! I felt the gold looks perfect for us since we're having a winter wedding. Such a beautiful postcard and the back was just the right amount of space. Highly recommend these!"
"This card exceeded all my expecatations. I got it for a GREAT price.. and the quality was outstanding!! Plus it shipped quickly. excellent service ! I would highly recommend using this company and will continue using them in the future! :) thank you!"
"I LOVE my save-the-date. I chose the silver stripes with blue writing, and all of my hotel/wedding website information fit easily on the back. Customer service was amazing - I had an issue, got a real person on the line super quickly, and got effective results fast. Overall, 5 stars for every aspect of this transaction!!"
"The cards were sturdy. They turned out just like what I saw on my computer. I was able to use my renewal colors for the words. Delivery was quicker then expected."
"These postcards are absolutely adorable, and totally celebrate the woodsy feel that we're going for while also allowing us to personalize it a bit with one of our engagement pictures. The image seemed a bit darker when printed out than I had intended when I created the draft, but it didn't take away from the overall product at all. The only other thing that caused me to pause was the size; it's definitely smaller than the standard postcard you'd get from your friend's European vacation. Just something to be aware of. Overall, I am very satisfied with the design, the print, and the speed of the delivery (showed up a week before the expected delivery date!). I'd always had such great experiences with Tiny Prints and I'm glad to say that I equally appreciate Wedding Paper Divas after this first order."

Private Manning acquitted of aiding enemy in WikiLeaks case
But Col. Denise Lind, in her verdict, found Army Private First Class Manning, 25, guilty of 19 of the other 20 criminal counts in the biggest breach of classified information in the nation's history.
The U.S. government was pushing for the maximum penalty for the intelligence analyst's leaking of information that included battlefield reports from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It viewed the action as a serious breach of national security, while anti-secrecy activists praised it as shining a light on shadowy U.S. operations abroad.
Army prosecutors contended during the court-martial that U.S. security was harmed when the WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website published combat videos of an attack by an American Apache helicopter gunship, diplomatic cables and secret details on prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay that Manning provided to the site while he was a junior intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2009 and 2010.
Manning, who early this year pleaded guilty to lesser charges that carried a 20-year sentence, will still be looking at a long prison term when the trial's sentencing phase gets under way on Wednesday.
"This is a historic verdict," said Elizabeth Goitein, a security specialist at New York University's Brennan Center for Justice.
"Manning is one of very few people ever charged under the Espionage Act prosecutions for leaks to the media ... Despite the lack of any evidence that he intended any harm to the United States, Manning faces decades in prison. That's a very scary precedent," she added.
A crowd of about 30 Manning supporters had gathered outside Fort Meade ahead of the reading of the verdict.
'Chilling effect'
The guilty verdict on most of the counts could make it difficult for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to persuade future sources of information to share classified details with the website.
"That is going to make it more difficult for people who want to deal with Assange. They are going to be at greater risk and that will put his operation at risk," said Michael Corgan, a professor of international relations at Boston University and former officer in the U.S. Navy.
"It will have a very chilling effect on WikiLeaks," he said ahead of the verdict.
Manning, originally from Crescent, Okla., opted to have his case heard by a judge, rather than a panel of military jurors.
During the court-martial proceedings, military prosecutors called the defendant a "traitor" for publicly posting information that the U.S. government said could jeopardize national security and intelligence operations.
Defense lawyers described Manning as well-intentioned but naive in hoping that his disclosures would provoke a more intense debate in the United States about diplomatic and military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
More than three years after Manning's arrest in May 2010, the U.S. intelligence community was reeling again as a result of leaked security documents. The latest revelations came from former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has been holed up in the transit area of a Moscow airport for more than a month, despite U.S. calls for Russian authorities to turn him over.
WikiLeaks founder Assange surfaced again as a major player in the newest scandal, this time offering aid to Snowden in eluding authorities while seeking asylum abroad.
Assange has been living in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for more than a year to avoid extradition to Sweden, where two women have accused him of sexual assault. He fears that if sent there, he could be extradited to the United States, where he would likely face charges related to the classified documents published by his website.
The cases of Manning and Snowden illustrate the difficulties of keeping government secrets at a time the Internet makes it easy to disseminate them quickly and widely. In addition, more people are granted access to classified data.

drumming, then play it back in a loop while
drumming more and making clicks from its
lower speaker to the beat. Meanwhile, it also
makes dance motions with its head and body.
While the robot records itself, it will also
record your voice or other nearby sounds and
include them in its tune. This is especially
entertaining for kids. Play a musical instrument to "jam" with the YDM, letting it record
and play back your riffs as an accompanist.
The BASIC software is written for modifying
and playing. All parameters can be reset, and
notes at the top and comments throughout
explain how everything works. So you can
make the YDM drum only when you enter the
room, or use it as a platform to do a lot of
other things. You can even make it draw.
7. Program, test, adjust, and play.
At this point, you should have a nice little
robot. Now it's time to give the robot its
program. Download and install the Picaxe
Programming Editor or AXEpad (depending
on your computer OS) from rev-ed.co.uk/
picaxe/ software.htm, if you haven't already.
Launch the software, then open the Mode
and Ports tabs under the Options panel to
specify the type of chip (28X1) and the COM
port for your computer's USB.
Switch the main board off (remove a battery) and connect it to your computer using
the Picaxe programming cable. Download the
code files from makeprojects.com/v/27.
Each motor has a test code file in the test
directory. Open each in the programming editor and click Program to compile and upload it
to the microcontroller. Replace the battery and
check that the motor behaves as it should, as
described at the top of the test code, or swap
its wires if it runs in the reverse direction.
The test runs will also guide you in trimming
the sticks to adjust their balance. The sticks
should be light enough for the motors to move
easily, but with fiberglass or carbon fiber rods,
it might help to epoxy a small bolt or screw at
the end, to make the strikes louder.

Lambert's Lessee v. Paine
7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 97
A devise of "all the estate called Marrowbone, in the County of Henry, containing by estimation 2,585 acres of land," carries the fee.
This was an ejectment brought in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Middle Circuit in the Virginia District in which John Doe, a subject of the King of Great Britain residing without the State of Virginia, lessee of John Lambert, another subject of the King of Great Britain, complains of Richard Roe, a citizen of Virginia, residing within the said state, and claims possession of a messuage and tenement containing 156 acres of land in the County of Henry, being part of a tract of land called Marrowbone.
The jury found the following special verdict, viz.,
"That George Harmer, being seized in fee of the lands in the declaration mentioned, on 25 June, 1782, made a paper writing, purporting to be his last will and testament, all written with his proper hand and signed by him, which will we find in these words"
" In the name of God, Amen. I, George Harmer, of the Commonwealth of Virginia, being perfectly well and of sound mind and memory, do make and ordain my last will and testament in manner and form following, that is to say all the estate, both real and personal, that I possess or am entitled to in the Commonwealth of Virginia I hereby give and devise unto my friend Thomas Mann Randolph of Tuckabo, and Henry Tazewell, of the City of Williamsburgh, in trust, upon these conditions that when John Harmer, my brother, now a subject of the King of Great Britain, shall be capable of acquiring property in this country, that they or the survivor of them do convey or cause to be conveyed to him in fee simple a good and indefeasible title in the said estate, and in case the said John Harmer should not be capable of acquiring such right before his death, then that my said trustees or the survivor of them do convey the said estate in manner aforesaid to John Lambert, son of my sister, Hannah Lambert, when he shall be capable of acquiring property in this country, and in case John Lambert should not, before his death, be capable of acquiring a title to the said estate, then I direct the same to be conveyed
to my sister, Hannah Lambert, if she, in her lifetime, can acquire property in this country."
" But if the said John Harmer, John Lambert and Hannah Lambert should all die before they can acquire property legally in this country, then I desire that my trustees aforesaid may cause the said estate of every kind to be sold, and the money arising from each sale, together with intermediate profits of the said estate shall be by them remitted to the mayor and corporation of the City of Bristol in England, to be by them distributed according to the laws of England to the right heirs of my said sister, Hannah Lambert, to whom I hereby give all such money, excepting the sum of

Per Geoff Baker ------------------------------------ After a disappointing first half to this season, Mariners closer David Aardsma was called in for a chat with his boss. Former manager Don Wakamatsu asked Aardsma to look deep within himself to figure out whether he was doing all he could to remain an elite level closer. When Aardsma replied that he wasn't, the two men broke down all the elements of his outings and determined Aardsma needed to throw his fastball less often. "I was throwing a lot of fastballs," said Aardsma, who threw a major-league high 87 percent fastballs last year, but is now down to 77 percent and using his splitter and slider more. "I was trying to attack guys with fastballs and trying to beat them with fastballs constantly when I have several other pitches that can be successful. And make my fastball better." ..... On Sunday, Aardsma got his 31st save in 36 opportunities with two weeks left. Last year, he had 38 saves in 42 chances, meaning he's blown only one more save this season despite his admittedly poor first half. "Every day, after I get done throwing, I throw a bunch of off-speed stuff," Aardsma said. "And then, I get in the game and it's like 'Oh my god, I'm throwing more strikes with it and I've got better stuff. Why didn't I do that all year?' " But the game, he said, is about making continuous adjustments. Aardsma felt too many hitters were sitting back waiting on his fastball, to the point where they could foul off even his best strikeout pitches. "If I didn't make that adjustment, I might not have been around too much longer," he said. ------------------------------------

Alright, well, it's 12:35am as I'm writing this and to be honest, I'm a little cranky.
But that makes it all the more better to rant about something I hate and wish would end.
Art theft.
How damn hard is it to MAKE YOUR OWN ART!?
I have been randomly searching up stuff for the past hour, just having a good time looking through art that people have done. And what do I find? A shit load of plagiarized art. I mean, from what I know, none of my art has ever been stolen, and I sure hope it hasn't, but it still makes me mad to think that people think they can just get away with stealing another persons hard work and taking credit for something that is not theirs.
How can that bring them pride? They didn't make it, so how can they feel proud of something they know they didn't do? I mean, come on.
I don't think some people realize how much this hurts everyone. First of all, you're hurting the original creator of the product by stealing something they made. They have to sit by, almost helplessly, as they watch someone leach attention and praise off of something they worked hard to accomplish.
Secondly, you're hurting yourself. Not only will you be hunted down and ripped apart verbally by many of that artists' friends and admirers, but you are also in no way improving your skills as an artist. By stealing someones art, you are not putting effort into creating your OWN style or figuring out where your fortes in art will be. You are just hindering yourself down to become a slimy, internet rat that draws over the lines of others.
And lastly, you're also hurting others around you. Take line art for example. If you copy someone's line art and give it away to others to use, telling them it's yours and that they must give credit to you, they will get a great deal of negative feedback as well. Because of your inconsideration, you've turned this possibly innocent person into another suspect of the theft and they may not even know WHY they are being accused of things like that.
All in all, art theft hurts everyone, including the thief, so why do it? Why cause unneeded drama over something that could be so easily resolved and avoided?
All I'm saying is that people should focus on improving their skills more than the attention their work brings them. Yes, it's rewarding to have people congratulating you on your art and the creations you've made, but it's not the same and never will be if the art isn't actually yours. If you choose the right path, you will end up with many kind people throwing in helpful pointers and tips that will help you improve your skills, instead of mobs of angry people who want nothing more than to break you down till you no longer exist on the internet.
Think to yourself, before you steal something, "Is this really worth it? Am I ready to deal with the rage and anger this will bring when I'm caught?"
Be nice, guys. Make your OWN art. Be proud of what you can do. Don't settle for something else that isn't yours; you wouldn't want someone to do that to you, right?

Buying a Family Business
There are challenges and rewards in buying someone else's business
(page 2 of 2)
Getting Top Dollar for Your Business
By Catherine E. Toth
There are about 27 million privately owned businesses in the U.S., more than 90 percent of them owned and operated by families, according to a 2011 report published by the American Bar Association.
Every one of them – including the more than 35,000 in Hawaii– can be bought, says local mergers and acquisitions expert Matthew DiGeronimo. "For the right price," he adds.
Here are some tips from DiGeronimo on what to consider when selling a business in the Islands:
• Prepare to sell: Owners shouldn't wait until they're ready to sell their businesses before doing anything about it. You want about 18 to 24 months to prepare to sell your business, DiGeronimo advises, and that includes getting all finances in order and handshake contracts put in writing. You should also be emotionally ready to sell the business. "The sale can take awhile, so you need to be patient," he says.
• Sell on an upswing: Don't wait until your business is failing to sell. "A lot of people say they're not going to sell their business if it's doing well," DiGeronimo says. "Are you kidding me? The only time you should sell your business is when it's doing well, when things are looking up." This makes the business more appealing to potential buyers and increases your negotiation power, too.
• Don't quit before it's sold: Just because you're selling your business doesn't mean you should give up on it. Prospective buyers will look at the growth potential for the business and it may take months to finalize the deal. "As soon as you, the business owner, decide the fuel tank is empty, it's over," he says. "You can't let that happen."
• Don't tell the world you're selling: "Don't put your business on Craigslist or put a sign on your door or tell your employees," DiGeronimo says. "It's the worst thing you could do." Competitors could start contacting your distributors, employees could leave, customers could find another business to patronize. "And sometimes businesses don't sell," he adds. "The perception will take a long time to unravel."
• Read your contracts: This is particularly important for businesses with landlords. Some malls in Hawaii require tenants to pay a percent of the sale price to the malls should owners sell their businesses. DiGeronimo says he's seen leases that require the owner to pay as much as 30 percent of the sale price to the landlord.
• Consider hiring a professional: While some owners have successfully sold businesses on their own, consider consulting with a mergers-and-acquisitions expert. A professional can provide a valuation of your business and come up with a selling strategy tailored to it.

Hi all, the scape is the curly shoot of the galic plant that is thicker than the leaves and if not cut off forms a flower.when you cut the scape off you send the energy to the bulb and get bigger garlic.Ta debra
Hi david I just found the other pages on this site I must press reply to get to them. now that I have found it I must ask for your advice .My sweet peas are doing well and have been out in the cold frame for a while ,the roots are starting to grow out of the bottom of the loo rolls .HELP! what should I do .TA Debra
Hi all, maybe you should grow in pots .This way you can get some sun and grow a bigger variety of veg . Ta Debra
lyn ,you have a good sense of humor you gave me a giggle.lol
Hi garden girl,I would try to save your seedling by putting a clear storage bin over them and at night cover with a wool blanket. That has keep my seedling warm and they are outside! It is cold here in n.y. Hope that will help . Ta Debra
Hi all ,In a peat pot I just sprinkled some poppy seeds that I had in the cubboard.I bought them in the food store for cooking, to my surprize they germinated! I will plant them out and see what I get.
I was looking at the pics and must agree with jatnikapyar, how stunning ! Truly a wonderful garden and a magical place to wander through.Well done.
I always start with one tall grass in the middle of the pot,usually a deep purple variety, then put in sweet potato vines chartreuse and blackie ,and change out the fill plants with the seasons.I even add small gourds and pumpkins in the fall.Things that thrill, things that fill and things that spill .
Thank you David ,. I watered them and it has been very cold here at night They are doing great I never thought a plant could take the cold weather like sweet peas do. I placed a red giant mustard plant in the cold frame also, it seems to have more tender leaves and wilts when its too cold ,I could then cover it with a blanket as not to get too much of a deep freeze. Ta Deb
HI David ,should i water them while they are in the cold frame?They look a little dry. Ta Deb

(10/22/12) - A new device is helping detect a potentially deadly condition in newborns- one that one in four babies will develop. It is called sepsis and, by the time it is picked up, it is often too late.
For new parents, Michael and Shelly, little Kynleigh came as a surprise.
"We weren't trying or anything," Michael says.
Kynleigh was born four months early, her mother says, weighing just one pound, five ounces. "It was all new, I didn't know what to expect."
Kynleigh was at high risk for sepsis, a severe blood infection that can spread throughout the body.
"If we detect it late, it can be very, very damaging and even fatal. Once the baby shows signs of sepsis, they may already be very, very sick," says Dr. Karen Fairchild, a neonatologist.
Fairchild and her colleagues at the University of Virginia developed the Hero monitor to help pick up the subtle symptoms early. "I really think this is revolutionary."
Every hour, the Hero identifies changes in babies' heart rate patterns that happen early in sepsis, then creates a score from zero to seven.
"If your Hero score is one, you have exactly the average rate of illness. If your hero score is two, you have twice the risk," says Dr. Randall Moorman, a U of V Cardiologist.
In a study of 3,000 infants, those on the Hero monitor had their risk of death cut by 20 percent. Kynleigh's score was as high as five. After antibiotics, her score dropped to a safe level.
Researchers have been working on the Hero monitor for more than 10 years and it's now being used in a handful of neonatal intensive care units around the country.

By now, everyone and their mother has an opinion about the much talked about decision at UFC 143, which saw Carlos Condit awarded a unanimous decision victory over Nick Diaz after their five round fight in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past weekend (Feb. 4, 2012).
The decision left many fans outraged and screaming bloody murder at the judges' call to award Condit the UFC Interim Welterweight Championship and the opportunity to face Georges St. Pierre somewhere down the road.
In what should have been one of, if not the best moments of Carlos Condit's career, his performance was quickly met with criticism by fans, fighters and media alike due to his evasive stick-and-move strategy, which was good enough to earn sway the scorecards.
Unfortunately for "The Natural Born Killer," the backlash against him still continues, with UFC Hall-of-Famer and all around mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Royce Gracie being no exception. The Octagon's founding father is a family member of Cesar Gracie, Nick Diaz's head trainer, and is another spectator who has voiced his opinions on the UFC 143 main event as well as praising the style of Diaz at the expense of Condit.
Check out the comments he sent out via his official Twitter account, after the jump.
@nickdiaz209 won that fight in my.opinion. he is what every fighter should be a true martial artists who comes to fight. Well prepared and with a gameplan. Not one that envloves running from a fight. Why come to fight if you gonna run. Hackney was running when we fought and I had to take the fight to him, Shamrock showed up not to lose in our rematch its a shame really. I for one am proud of Nick and happy he is part of Grace Jiu-jitsu family."
As an MMA fighter, you would be hard pressed to find any greater opinion, compliment and approval of your fighting style than that of MMA legend and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Hall-of-Famer, Royce Gracie.
Gracie, who competed in the very first UFC event ever, UFC 1, back on November 12, 1993, began his legendary MMA career with 11 straight wins, including winning the first two UFC tournaments along with winning the UFC 4 tournament by defeating much bigger and stronger opponents using the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) style that had not yet been seen stateside.
However, the fact still remains, Carlos Condit is the promotion's Interim Welterweight Champion, and no one, not even the opinions of MMA legends, can take that away from him.
Any of you Maniacs think the backlash against Condit, which is apparently picking up steam instead of slowing down, is unwarranted?
Perhaps a convincing win over Georges St. Pierre will erase any and all doubt and put to rest the memories of the controversy surrounding UFC 143.

I imagine for most people in America, the first thing was the election of Barack Obama. And there's a very good argument to be made for that being the first thing (several good arguments, really). But in the crazy mixed-up world of Prematurely Grey, Tuesday was about the map above.
Yesterday, my home town paper showed why the war is over–even on the day the print edition sold out, the web won. If you want to understand how the country shifted on Tuesday, there's nothing like a color slide show that includes county-by-county maps that show the increase in votes in either direction against the 2004 vote.
Let's Skitch some more. Look at this:
Unfortunately, the Times didn't put a blue without red map in the slide show because they didn't really need to. The transition from increase for red to increase for blue (which was what happened in 78% of the counties in the U.S.) is dramatic enough. OK, fair enough.
So you're going to have to use your imagination. Imagine a reverse image. All the white space is blue. All the red space is white. That's how much of Texas voted more Democratic in 2008 than in 2004.
That's a lot of Texas.
Now, when you look at the map of how the counties voted on Tuesday, straight red v. straight blue, it doesn't come out like that. Don't get the wrong picture. Texas went for 55% McCain to Obama 44% on Tuesday.
But let's do a little more creative visualization.
In 2004, Texas voted for Bush. Everyone can picture a red Texas. But here's the thing: in 2004, it was 61% Bush to 38% Kerry.
61% Republican in 2004.
55% Republican in 2008.
Of course, this was the perfect storm year for Obama. And a perfect Obama storm in Texas gets you to 44%. But understand this: our current "successful" governor was reelected in 2006 by winning 39% of the vote.
Obama out-polled Perry.
The scary black man who is probably a Muslim got a higher percentage of the Texas vote than Governor Goodhair.
I contend that if Ron Paul had been the Libertarian candidate for president, Obama would have won Texas. (I also believe that Obama might have lost the presidency if Ron Paul had been in the hunt.) But none of that really matters.
What matters is a higher percentage of people voted Democrat in Texas than did in 2004 and 2006. I will the hard numbers and put them up when I find them.
Right now, the Texas House is 76 Republican, 74 Democrat. There is a recall going on in the Irving House race (the Republican incumbent's up by 25 votes). The circus came to town yesterday and had drawn out meetings about who'll be the boss of who and who's going to be whose BFF. It is possible that the Texas House will be tied 75-75. Otherwise, it's 76-74.
I do not see how Craddick holds the gavel if this is really the case.
This is what turning blue looks like in Texas.

President Barack Obama is acknowledging his health care law's rollout "hasn't worked as smoothly as it's supposed to work."
Obama is encouraging Americans who want to sign up for insurance under new government exchanges to keep trying. He spoke from the White House's Rose Garden.
The remarks came at Obama's first health care event since widespread problems with sign-ups online became apparent.
He blamed problems in part to an overwhelming response. He says the program doesn't depend on website and there are other ways to sign up.

We forecast that a surge in fixed Internet traffic is impending, and the rate of growth could exceed that of mobile data. Our forecasts indicate that the main driver of this growth is online content on TVs and the main enabler is fast Internet access, but also that the availability of next-generation access is no guarantee of rapid growth.
A proliferation of expensive new devices will not necessarily drive Internet traffic: the households with the heaviest consumption will be in countries with high TV viewing habits, and they will have few if any smartphones.

Thank you.
My first example does the same as Henry_Best. And after a nights sleep, I realise I should change my code accordingly for the other examples to be on the safe side. Then I can use a byte variable and I will also safe a few bytes of flash doing it.
Just about the [n+1] as PeterH mentioned. The coding is correct in this case.
I have three temperature sensors. One for air, two telescopes. I have only two heaters. My Sketch compare scope and air temperatures and adjust heaters accordingly.
I build my Sketch functionality in blocks, so I started by defining the air sensor as tempSens[0] and scope sensors as tempSens[1] and tempSens[2] as I tested and implemented. I call the function adjustTemp() at set times with millis() and to save code, I used a loop to check and adjust both sensors and heaters. Then I have several arrays that is connected to a specific sensor, like calibrate[], sensorAttached[] heaterPower[] etc, and of course they all start counting at 0. So tempSens[1] is linked to sensorAttached[0], tempdiff[0] etc. Of course with hindsight I should have used tempSens[2] for air, so that I can drop the [n+1] altogether! But for now I reckoned my project can add [n+1] faster and cheaper than I can correct my code.
You've both provided me with quite some insight!

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest.
To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case.
The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina.
Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?

I am personally on summer break and have been for about a month. I don't start my job until Friday, so I've done what I usually do, obsess over the Mavs. Scrolling through my DVR, I remembered that i recorded Game 4 of the 2011 Western Conference Semifinals because I was not able to watch it live. After seeing the highlights numerous times and reminiscing of the Dallas Mavericks, I decided to watch this game today, with nothing better to do.
When the 2010-2011 season first began, The Big Three had just formed and there were exactly 1,953,713 other stories going on besides the world of MFFL. Sure Tyson Chandler had just been acquired for Ericka Dampier's contract, but there was nothing special about this Mavs roster going into the season. The Roddy hype was as high as ever, until he go injured, and everyone was just hoping to make it out of the first round.
The problem was that no one was expecting the Mavs do anything spectacular, meaning everything great that they did, was highly noticed. They were playing their typical basketball with their occasional beautiful runs, but there was that brutal, heart stopping stretch where both Dirk Nowitzki and Caron Butler, the two leading scorers for our most sexy team, went down with injuries. Fortunately for us, the better of the two is the one who would be returning.
As I was watching this game, everything positive that came out of last season at all, was seen in this game. Even though it may not have been as bright as it was at an earlier point in the season, but, nevertheless, it was seen. This ranges all the way from our bench play of the Hectic Hispanic, Abe Lincoln, or the classic JET, the bench for the Mavs had a phenomenal year. Oh, lets not forget the balding Serbian who went 6 for 6 in this game.
While watching the game, it was sad to see all the pieces that we lost: Dwane Cassey, Corey Brewer, Deshawn Threevenson, Peja, Tyson, Barea... ahh so many loses. It's like we went into war and won in a great fashion, but many casualties along the way. If you think about this in the same way I am, if the 8th wonder of the world did not have one of the single most glorious playoff performances in the history of the NBA, I feel there is a good chance that a large majority if the roster would be kept in tact with the hope of being able to go over the top this year.
As much as June 12, 2011 was one of the greatest days of my young lives, it was also a day where the realization would have been made: our team played incredible, therefore, those who performed well would be rewarded. Unfortunately this happened to too many of our valuable role players.
This truly was a glorious time in all our lives, but success does not come easy and many sacrifices had to be made.

CALHOUN, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A neighborhood in the town of Calhoun is mourning the death of 76 year-old twin brothers who died in a house fire Wednesday morning.
The fire started a little before four this morning. Fire fighters told me that a man who was driving by noticed flames coming from the back of the house. He stopped and knocked on the door. When no one answered, he called 911.
This house located on Highway 151 North looks fine from this angle, but when you walk around you can see the damage that resulted in a fire that took the lives of twin 76 year-old brothers Clyde and Clayton Poston.
"The fire is believed to have originated in the kitchen area of the house in the area of an electrical outlet in between the refrigerator and freezer," said Vincent Tony.
It took ten firefighters more than 30 minutes to extinguish the fire. Despite their hard work both men had already died.
"They found the first fire victim inside the kitchen area and the second victim inside the bedroom area," said Tony.
We spoke with neighbors of the two men and they say they are in shock and they can't believe something like this happened so close.
Donlee Jordan attended the same church as Clyde and Clayton for years. His son told him about today's tragedy.
"He called me and said I got bad news. I said what? He said Clyde and Clayton died in a fire in their house. I said you got to be kidding. It shocked me boy," said Donlee Jordan.
The cause of death is still under investigation. This is the third deadly fire in Ouachita parish this year. Fire fighters say there wasn't a smoke detector in the Poston's house. If you need a smoke detector you can get one through the Ouachita Parish Fire Department for free. Call (312) 325-1621 to make an appointment for the firefighters to come to your home to install the detectors.
Previous Report:
Our crew on the scene, reports 76-year-old twin brothers Clyde and Clayton Poston died in the fire. The family did not want to go on camera, but told KNOE 8 News the two likely died from smoke inhalation.
They say the brothers lived in the home their whole lives and did not have a smoke detector. Family say the men were never married and did not have any children. A faulty outlet used for the freezer in the kitchen is being investigated as the possible cause of the fire.
OUACHITA PARISH, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Two elderly bothers are dead following a fire Wednesday morning in Ouachita Parish.
Ouachita Parish fire officials tell KNOE 8 News, the 76-year-old bothers lived at 2502 Highway 151 North in Calhoun. Their names are not being released at this time.
The fire at the Calhoun home was reported just before 4:00 a.m. Wednesday.
Two detectives are still working at the scene. Our crews are en route and will have updates throughout the day on KNOE.COM and during KNOE 8 News at Noon, 5p and & 6p.

Sep 10, 2012 DC Editor *Latest Stories, In the Lanes With Jared Pennington 0
Hello again DC viewers. Welcome to the first official "In The Lanes" report. It has been an interesting few weeks since my introduction to ITL and I have a lot to tell you about. First and foremost, I hope everyone in the path of Hurricane Isaac stayed safe and avoided damage to their property and/or belongings. It looked like the storm dumped an amazing amount of water on the ground but hopefully, that was the worst for each of you in its path. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by the storm.
As for my racing and travels, boy have I had fun the last few weeks. My 1st "trip" was to the place where it all started for me in 1984. Lassiter Mountain Dragway. George Howard has recently taken over the facility and he's trying hard to build a good program there. Hopefully, his efforts are rewarded and the program continues to grow. It's a historical facility and its 3 miles from the house so a good Friday night program there would be awesome for me. This particular night was a Pro Mod night with both Footbrake and Super Pro. I ran my Nova there the week prior and decided to let it rest a little so I brought out the big gun … my 1983 Malibu Station Wagon that is equipped with ONLY 40,000 actual miles and the original V6 bullet under the hood. This was her maiden voyage to the track and I didn't know what to expect but I certainly didn't expect what I got. Turns out, the wagon is not ready for Footbrake racing just yet. I could have put about a dozen dial-ins in a bucket and let spectators pick one and put it on the car and got as close as I was getting. My best ET of the night was 13.34 and my worst was 13.64 (yep, she only moved 3 … TENTHS).
Somehow, I ended up in the right place at the right time all night and managed to make it to the final with Allen Reno (aka Jed's Daddy). Between hitting the tree when I had to and holding enough numbers to cover the dial, I squeaked through the field and earned a runner up to my good friend Allen. I had a slight tree advantage at the start but my car slowing down 2 TENTHS in the final was not in my plans so I got to be the Bride's Maid that night. I was very lucky to get that far as I had a couple of runs that should have gotten me an early exit but I also made a run or 2 when I needed it and helped my cause a little. My equipment wasn't good at all but as I mentioned in the first article, its only as good as I make it so apparently, I have a TON of work to do. However, going 13.50's in the 1/8 and watching your opponent wait 6-7 seconds to take off is cool. It was a fun night and challenged me to drive the car which makes for great practice. It also forced me to use a lot of different strategies which helps keep the mind sharp. I encourage any of you to find a vehicle like that to play around with when you can. It will make you a better racer for sure. On a side note, I got to watch Tim Segars light a winning 3.99 on the left lane scoreboard in the Pro Mod final at the Mountain which is a new track record. Pro Mods are FAST!
The next outing was the following night at I22 Motorsports Park. I22 is a very nice facility about an hour Northwest of B'ham in Eldridge,
Alabama. If you haven't been there, look at their schedule and find an event to attend. You will love it and they will treat you like family. This night was supposed to be their $15K Saturday night with a $5K race in Dragster, Door Car and Footbrake in the same night. Obviously, I chose to take Big Red (my Nova) to this event as I planned to enter Super Pro Door Car and Footbrake so I figured I had better bring my best piece. The weatherman predicted a beautiful night with only a 10% chance of rain but he missed it just a "touch" and the entire state ended up in danger of getting wet from a huge band of showers moving in from Mississippi. The staff at I22 did all they could do to get the race in but Mother Nature won and I ended up having to settle for eating dinner with my good friends Adam Davis and Bad Brad Ford. We had a blast hanging out for a couple of hours and the food at Jim N Nicks BBQ was off the hook so all in all, it was a good night with great people. Hopefully, they reschedule the race and we can try again later this year.
So on to the Labor Day holiday weekend and what was sure to be an action packed 4 days of racing. Not so much. Friday was a work day for me so no Super 7 Series on that day. I figured I would attend the Friday night program at Lassiter Mountain again and try the "Rocket" one more time just to make sure it is as bad as I think it is. Once again, Mother Nature ruled and forced cancelation of the race so I took that "extra" time and cleaned the garage at home. I don't have any action photos of that but trust me, it was fun to watch. I had some stuff in there that I forgot about. It was like Christmas all over as I unwrapped some of my long lost treasures. Saturday was the day I had planned to go to Montgomery and run the Super 7's. Well, I got to thinking the garage is clean so I might as well get the basement next and I'll be done with my chores for a while so I stayed home and took care of that. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I was a little bit excited about the first night of Alabama Football so that helped make my decision.
Obviously, I was happy with my choice as the Tide rolled (sorry T J .. he's not a fan).
So it is Sunday morning and I'm now ready to race. Off to MMP I go to hit the top at the Super 7's. I don't hit the top much but I do it just enough that I feel like I have a pretty decent program. As I roll up for my new entry time trial, I tell my buddy T J Coleman that I'm going to be .011 and go 5.79. I am .013 and run 5.797. Oh yeah, this is easy. I dial the 79 for run for the money and go -.003 (pulled 5 thou out of the box) and run 5.786. Hmm! Picked up a hundredth and it was just a little hotter but I'm ok. 1st round I get the honor of pairing a former NHRA World Champion in Bryan Robinson. He's dialed 5.44 so I dial a .79 thinking I will see the finish line well and at most I'm holding a few thou so I'm ready. We both leave green and at the stripe, I kill the little bit I need to and I'm getting there so my win light should shine. NOPE! I take .023 (he fed me some of that but didn't admit to it) stripe to be 13 thou under. WHAT? The car took off on me and picked up another .015. I buy back and get ready for round 2. I get a good draw in the next round. I get BRYAN ROBINSON! Again? I set up honest this time and he's -.002 so my win light comes on early. What a feeling! I am .018 and dead on 5 but I have to tighten that up a bit if I want to win. 3rd round is here and I get another good draw. Stop me if you've heard this before but I pair a former NHRA World Champion. No, not B Rob. Its Hugh Meeks. He's in Allen Wickell's nasty wheelstanding Nova and he's dialed 6.43. My car has settled down so I make the decision again to dial honest. I have a tight window on the tree so I know where to set the box to be good and my strategy is just be .00 and go dead on. That run is hard to beat. Well, I set it too tight and go -.002 and the race was over. Hugh was .004 and holding so he was going to be a handful either way. Of course, I poured salt in the wound with a dead on run again but you have to perform on both ends and I failed to do that. Hugh went on to runner up the race which was well deserved as he drove great all day. I must say the track at MMP was amazing considering the heat and humidity they were dealing with. Jim and his staff do a great job on the racing surface and the Super 7's was a lot of fun to be a part of.
That wraps up my racing adventures for this time. Hopefully, you enjoyed reading and learned some stuff in the process. I have had a blast the last couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to the Fall stretch of races which is the best racing of the year. In the next article, we'll talk about my trip to Pittsburgh to announce and how that turned in to a trip to the Moser Great American Bracket Race in Belle Rose, Louisiana instead. I also hope we talk about me racing Brad Plourd's Chevy II Stocker in Charlotte which is the plan as I write this. Who knows where the road will take me otherwise? Tune in next time to find out. Until then, race to win and be safe. As always, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or comments.
I'm thankful to have the following companies involved in my racing. If not for them, I couldn't get to the races. Huntsville Engine and Performance , Hoosier/Maggart Tire , Wiseco , NitroPlate , CSR , BTE , Quick Fuel , Gardendale Performance , Hedman Hedders and Jeff Kile Chassis Worx
