Hey there bought a 2000 model in 1999 FG Best machine I'v ever owned..Runs Great !!!
I own a 2001 4x4 FG that I purchased in 2001. It's much more reliable than several Ford's I've owned before and after. I use it as a mow crew truck and also have a snow plow on it in the winter. I have a 14 foot bed and it gets more than 50% better gas mileage than pulling a trailer with a 3/4 ton truck.I looked at a new one but the price scared me away and the one I own just keeps on going with very few service issues.
I have a 2004 purchased in 2003 , this truck is the biggest pile of rust the , rear frame is total gone have pic. if anyone want's to see the frame broken half when I removed the dump frame , is there any recalls , on this truck that cost $46,000. today the cab is exc. only 39,000 miles dose anyone have any advice John1022592gmail.com
Mine is rusty too! Engine all rusted so all repairs are complicated.
I saw your comments. My 2005 FG cracked in two yesterday. Looks like $1200 tow bill and a $10000 welding bill from what I hear. Do you have any advise.
G`dayWe have started production of our 4x4 motor home with the FG as a chassis of choice in the USA. The dutronic gear box when set up properly is a gem to drive.
What is the best off road 4x4 cab over that compares to a land cruiser and Land Rover?

Someone from CCP has confirmed with a Twitter post that their upcoming Eve universe game DUST 514 - currently slated for exclusive release on PlayStation 3 - will indeed have support for the keyboard and mouse.
While this is no consolation to the many PC fans that were looking forward to getting their hands on this tie-in title, at least those playing it on console will have the option to drive the game through the superior method of keyboard and mouse.
Check out our game page for more information about this title.

BRUNSWICK, Maine — The 150th anniversary of the Civil War has reached the halfway mark, more or less. A bumper crop of exhibitions opened in 2011. There have been far fewer shows since. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Photography and the American Civil War," earlier this year, is a notable example. For the most part attention has turned elsewhere. It shouldn't. Duration was among the chief reasons for the war having such an enormous and lasting impact. So even if " 'This Mighty Scourge of War': Art of the American Civil War" weren't so well done, which it is, its presence would be welcome. The show runs through Jan. 5 at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
" 'This Mighty Scourge of War' " takes its title from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. The president might never have been in a position to deliver it — instead, George McClellan would have been giving his first — but for two key events in 1863: the fall of Vicksburg and the Union victory at Gettysburg, both in July.

On August 30, 2012, Corporal David Crank pulls a car over near Marston on northbound I-55. "I'm Trooper Crank with the Highway Patrol," he tells the man and woman from Ohio. "The reason why I stopped you don't have any license plate lights back there." Crank asks to see the man's license, and then asks this seemingly harmless question. "Where you guys coming from?" "Uh, we're coming from Little Rock," the man replies. "Little Rock? What were y'all down there for?" Crank asks. "We went down to visit some friends." "Ok". That casual conversation will play a key role in how this traffic stop ends. But first, Crank asks the man to get into his vehicle so the trooper can write him a warning. The small talk continues. The driver tells Crank they visited a friend of his. "I don't get to see him very often," the man explains. "What's his name?" Crank asks. "Uh, Larry." "You stayed with your friend, Larry? Or....." "Yes sir." As the man remains in the back seat, Crank goes back out to the female passenger to ask the same questions. "What friend did you guys go see?" Crank asks the woman. "His friend? Your friend?" My friend", she answers. It's clear the man's getting anxious in the trooper's SUV. "Oh f***." he says to himself. "Oh f***." "Where'd you stay at?" Crank asks the woman. "Um, there's a hotel," she replies. "Um, I think it was called the Ritz." "Ritz?" Crank confirms. "Yeah", she responds. "Ok." Crank takes this knowledge back to the man waiting in his SUV. "You guys aren't traveling with anything illegal in the vehicle?" he asks the now clearly nervous driver. "No sir." "Can I search the vehicle?" "If you want to." "Cuz, your stories are just not even close to matching up." Crank goes back out to the woman in the car. "Ma'am, if there anything illegal in the vehicle?" "No." "No uh, no cocaine? Marijuana? Heroin? Meth? Ok, because your two stories are not even in the same ballpark as to where you all have been. So, that makes me suspicious of your guys' trip," Crank tells her. He heads back to his SUV and opens the passenger door. "What's Larry's last name? What's Larry's last name?" he asks the man. "Uh, there is no Larry." "Go on and step out," Crank instructs him. "There is no Larry sir. I....." the man's voice trails off as he heads toward the woman, now standing several feet away from the car. With that driver's consent, Corporal Crank searches the trunk. "737 Poplar Bluff," he calls into the microphone strapped to his shoulder. "Get on the ground!" he orders the couple. "On the ground!" Then back to his radio, "I need some assistance. I've got a seizure." So, what was the Ohio couple allegedly bringing back from that trip to Little Rock? "Looks to be several pounds of crystal meth," Crank tells his dispatcher. Copyright KFVS 2014.

Interim Fire Chief Paul Berardi has been appointed as the chief of the city's fire department.
Berardi has served as the interim chief since the retirement of Richard "Smokey" Dyer in July. He was selected after a national search that yielded a diverse field of highly qualified candidates.
"In his short tenure as interim fire chief, Paul Berardi has exhibited the responsiveness, strength, leadership and determination the city of Kansas City needs in a fire chief," City Manager Troy Schulte said in a written statement. "I believe Chief Berardi understands the critical challenges that face both our city and the KCFD and will address them with objectivity."
With more than 26 years of service with the Kansas City, MO, Fire Department, Berardi has served the past 11 years as deputy chief and has led the Professional Development Bureau and the Medical Bureau.
He most recently served as a designated shift commander responsible for fire department's emergency service operations citywide during designated operating periods.
Berardi holds a Master of Public Administration from the University of Missouri at Kansas City's Bloch School of Management, a bachelor's degree in business administration from Baker University and an associate degree in fire science from Metropolitan Community College.
He was selected in 2004 for a fellowship at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government to attend the Senior Executive in State and Local Government Program.

Rural communities urged to unlock broadband funding (From The Northern Echo)
For details on how to contact our editorial and commercial departments, click here
People can help their communities get broadband by registering interest
Updated 4:30pm Sunday 25th August 2013 in News By Julia Breen
PEOPLE who live or work in East Cleveland are being urged to support plans to bring superfast broadband to the area.
Redcar & Cleveland Council is bidding for £300,000 in Government funding for areas with poor internet connection, and needs to build its case.
The council is asking people to register their support for the partnership bid to prove there is demand – although this does not mean they are subscribing, or committing to, the service. It involves filling out a short form.
Councillor Christopher Massey, Cabinet member for Environment and Rural Affairs, said: "Fast and reliable broadband is becoming a necessity for everyday life.
"It drives businesses, helps students with their education and underpins so many other services that rural communities could be missing out on.
"If we do not get a strong response we could miss out on a fantastic opportunity. In Moorsholm, three in four people are supporting the bid, but in other communities the response has been as low as one in a hundred. We need to get the message out that they have the key to unlock this funding."
Letters will be sent out in early September and can be returned in a postage-paid envelope or to any council office or library. People can also register support by visiting www.redcar-cleveland.gov.uk.broadband.

Wakeboarder defends car park antics
8:23pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
A professional wakeboarding coach who enjoyed the sport in a flooded underground car park defended his actions from critics who suggested it was unsafe.
Jack Hammersley, 24, sped around on a board in the Bedford Road car park in Guildford on Sunday night, with another professional wakeboarder, Jorge Gill, 18.
The pair used a winch pulley system which pulls users in at speeds of more than 15mph and also went wakeboarding in a nearby park.
They managed to avoid concrete pillars in the car park, which was flooded to a depth of two feet.
Many people commenting on a newspaper website praised their ability to have fun among the floods, but others called them "idiots", with one person expressing the wish that they would not attend an NHS hospital if they were hurt. Another said they should be wearing helmets, another that they were trespassing, and others said the water could be a health risk.
However Mr Hammersley, from Farnborough, Hampshire, said of people's criticisms: "It's not their choice to do it - if we want to do it, it doesn't really matter what they say, we had fun."
As to the accusation of trespassing, he said: "There's no sign saying it's private property."
And as for the water being dirty, he said: "We didn't fall off, and that (dirty water) is not something we'd worry about."
As for any hospital trip, he said: "I'm sure people injure themselves doing a lot more stupid things than that."
His only concession was on the helmets. "We probably should be wearing helmets. We normally do - but we were trying to get some good photos."
He said he and Mr Gill, from Kilburn, north west London, were at the car park only on Sunday night. "But if it's still flooded, we might go back again."
The winch pulley system was supplied by Red Bull.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WVVA) - The above WVVA.com-exclusive videos were captured by WVVA's Josh Frketic as he accompanied the Denver Foundation and a bus load of area veterans to the nation's capital for the 2013 Always Free Honor Flight.
The annual event allows area military veterans from as far back as World War II the opportunity to see the landmarks and memorials in Washington and to visit with our state's lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Some are able to see the memorials dedicated to them and those they fought alongside in person for the first time.
Most importantly, the trip serves as a much-deserved 'thank you' to our veterans the sacrifices they made to serve their country and fight for our freedoms.

12 oz bottle. This one is solid brown color like a very dark tea with a half-finger of light tan head that falls to a solid coat over top. The clarity is minimal with very irregularly present bubbles in the brew. The aroma is very nice. I get a lot of bready and raisin maltyness, with a distant pine hop that has turned earthy. Taking a big sniff brings in some brown sugary and caramel sweet notes on the finish. There is also a fruityness alongside the raisin that just adds a bit more to it. I think that serving this one a little on the warm side has helped these aromas shine through. The first sip brings a very strong earthy aged hop flavor that melds well into a brown sugar and light raisin malt. There is a moderate bitter on the finish that hits hard enough to let me know it is there but not too strong. This one is very well slanted towards the earthyness, and I like that in my barleywines. It takes some of the harshness off that keeps me from enjoying the style more. Mouthfeel is thick with a light carbonation. I think it works well for the style. This one is very drinkable. The flavors are strong but mix well and keep me wanting more of this one. I like it.

12 oz bottle pours a cloudy amber chestnut body with a small beige head that quickly falls into skim and sheet lacing. Aroma has a bold maltiness of caramel and molasses with citrusy hop notes in the background. Medium body with an apt medium low carbonation. Taste is scorched caramel and pine and citrus hop bitterness. Fruity notes of apples and oranges add an interesting dimension. Pine hop bitterness becomes assertive midway through and stay to the finish. Finishes with a pine cone hops bitterness. Well done!

Dark honey color, kinda murky with tiny bubbles rising up from the bottom toward a thick, beige foamy head that lingers long and clings to the inside of the glass. Sweet smell of honey, cotton candy, and hops, plus sweet malt and fruit. Aroma is very inviting. Flavor is vigorous and makes itself known immediately. Sweet and chewy, with fruit and malt, a little cherry, and wow the alcohol stings the back of the throat and tingles the tongue. Mouthfeel is smooth, very creamy, perfectly carbonated. A bitter orange peel aftertaste lingers. Thanks to Brent for sharing this beauty.

3.2/5 rDev -15.3%
Appearance: Deep amber brown chestnut wow it's deep hued with a big tan caramel head leaving entricate and even lacing, nice. Aroma: Deep bready yeas notes with English malts and alchol shining through with fruity undertones and a hint offness this beer is borderline with stale malts that bring a diacetyl tone about. Taste: Deep herbal hop profile with an offness in the malts pours thick bitterness and stale hops tastes horrible. Mouthfeel: Full bodied chalkiness can't get down with this one blah. Drinkability: Pass on older samples no date on this bottle but old in the malt profies nature with mute hop flavor and strong bitterness.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a deep brown body with an amber hue. There is a thin ring of big bubbles around the edge and that is supported by a gentle carbonation of bubbles.
S- There is a very light note of dark sweet malt with a soft fusel alcohol hint that comes through in the finish. There are some soft notes of brown malt and toasted malt coming through as it warms but there were very subtle.
T- This beer has a light flavor in general with notes of dark malt and some notes of dark fruit hints coming out as it warms. There are some light toasted malt hints and a soft white sugar note to it. The soft flavor of green hops has a gentle bitterness and a slight alcohol taste in the finish.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a bit of a watery texture. The alcohol heat was pretty smooth and gentle but nice.
D- This beer has a soft light flavor and smell but the alcohol is a nice heat and not too hot.

A pretty young barleywine, with a bottling date of Dec. '06.
Pours a deep ruby color with a creamy head that slaps sticky lace onto the glass with only slight tilting. Bubbles slowly slide their way up. If looks are anything to go by, it's already a winner.
One very fruity-smelling barleywine, this gives off strong hits of sour green apple and grapefruit at first, with time and some warming letting maple syrup, alcohol and cherry Jolly Ranchers through.
More green apple in the flavor, like it was soaked in sherry and rum and dunked in molasses. More tangy fruitiness in the middle, lots of freshly-cut wood, and a slight bit of vanilla peeking through. Bitter assault of grassy astringency (or grapefruit rind) in the finish, indicating this sucker needs some cellaring.
Mouthfeel is velvety smooth, a bit lighter than many other barleywines.
Really good, but definitely young tasting with all that green-apple/hoppy bitterness flying around. Aging will probably do this beer all kinds of good.

SheepNutz suggested I wait a year before I try this. I think I came close! ;-)
Hazy (almost murky) tawny-brown in hue with a slight coppery highlight. The head reached a half finger in height and then the beige foam subsided to a soapy cap. Subsequent lacing was spotty and it held fairly well. It is a good-looking beer. The nose has very lovely malt depth. It is rich, ample, fairly toasty but widely sweet. There is a caramel backdrop and even further at the back is a hint of char. The hops play a supporting role and dont really offer any clear aromas. The potency is modest. I found the beer to be inviting; the malt qualities alone make me want to take a sip. The palate is flavorful and surprisingly well balanced. Both the malt and hops are big, which provides a good one-two punch. The malt supplies some sweetness in the form of caramel. I even get a trace hint of chocolate and some roast. There are clearly some toasty qualities that allow some dark fruitiness to show. Nice. Then the hops enter, ideal bitterness IMO. The hops are firm and fairly flavorful, kind of piney and flowery. However the hops yield to the malt by the finish. Tasty. I found the palate to be well constructed. Nicely done. I will say there is a little rawness to it but I like how it adds a layer of complexity. It reminds me of an aged Bigfoot in some respects. Medium in body, if not just a tickle bigger, the carbonation is modest but fitting, pleasant mouthfeel. The aftertaste is perfect for the style; it says, Give me cheese! Bearded Pats is bold and tasty, simple but unrefined, still it comes off well constructed. It is worthy of sipping and savoring. Thanks SheepNutz, this was a dandy!

When poured, this brew had large light brown head with small bubbles that mostly diminished. This brew had good lacing to it and a clear body with a brown hue. It had a harsh malty aroma and I also noticed a mild coffee aroma as well. The flavor was bitter tasting from start to finish. I definitely tasted the alcohol in this brew.

12oz bottle into 8oz snifter.
Deep ruby red hue with a one finger light tan head that settles to a thin rim along the glass.
Sharp piercing hops with some light hard candy in the background.
The hops provide some bitterness, but they aren't as sharp as I would have expected. Mostly a light candy flavor like in the aroma. Full bodied with good carbonation. The finish is some lingering sweet flavor with a bit of bitterness.
A very sweet barleywine with a weird hard candy flavor that seemed to dominate. Not bad, but I would have liked a little more complexity.

12 oz received as a very cool want-list extra from Brentk56... cellared since April.... refrigerated for the last week or so.. poured into my New Belgium snifter tonight.
1" tan head dies back slowly leaving rings of lace as I swirl.. an a bunch of splotch bubbles... Brew is fairly clear chestnut brown.
Aroma is thick caramel punctuated by sweet cigar and leather.. hops are there.. but play second or even third fiddle to the malts...
Flavor is again thick all the way around.. caramel and sweet but not cloying maltiness... bitterness may be on the light side.. but I appreciate a good malty barleywine.. spiciness shows up as it warms.. both hops and yeast... there is a pervasive and long finish of pipe tobacco.. tastes like the way a candy shop and a good walk-in humidor would smell if they were in the same room. Flavor is huge... but reminds me much more of a very very big boned English BW... there is a distinct fruitiness as it warms.. cherry essence.. maybe a little bit of plum... smoky.. and some piney hops become more evident as I sit here and it reaches room temperature... definitely some pine in there.... but the malts tend to gobble it up until the absolute finish.
Body is fairly thick with creamy but good carbonation..
I am really digging the Bearded Pat.. I know that there are a couple places that I can order this... I should pick up 12 for the next few years and see how they measure out.. but for now... I am damn.. very damn happy Brent included this brew.. now I just wish I would have had a BA/BW buddy around to share it with.

I was thrilled to get this one in a trade recently as I had been wanting to try it, but alas we do not get any of their wonderful offerings around here. I had cellared this one for about six months before opening the 12 ounce bottle last night, just to let it mellow out as it was a fresh 2007 when I
received it. Served at cellar temperature into a snifter, I was thrilled to begin sampling this one. The pour was very nice with a rusty, ruby colored, almost candy like reddish amber color being presented in front of me. There was a touch of haze to it, but not as much as I expected. Some light carbonation could be seen struggling up to reach the surface. There was a decent sized two finger head of white that caressed the top of it and hung out for a good bit before settling down to just a thin crown and leaving behind some scorching side glass lace. Very nice look for a Barley wine,
The aroma was very pleasing, with loads of sugar coming at me almost at once. There was some very complex aromas mingling around in here for sure. Some tobacco was clearly evident, giving it a musky sort of aroma, light hints of alcohol, candied sugar and apples coming through. As it warmed some hints of an oaky sort came out. The flavor was really well done I have to admit. Super smooth, with just the lightest of carbonation, it struggled not to tip too far into the syrup side of things, but
may have in fact landed there in the end. Very sweet, with hardly any alcohol being noticed in here, I was quite impressed. Rich candied apple notes were abound in here, with hints of caramel and honey as well. Some light floral notes in the finish, and that musky tobacco like taste, that I could almost construe to be a weird type of spice to be honest. As it warmed any trace of the alcohol was gone, and it became a syrup laden sweet candied treat. I was sipping along on this for a good long while mainly due to the complex flavors, but it surely would not be a session ale. This was a very nice way for me
to wrap up my evening as I would have loved to have had another one right after it.
Overall this was easily my favorite I have had from them so far. It is a very solid offering for sure, and one of the better barley wines I have had lately. Very sweet with a nice hidden quality to it. This definitely falls into the must try category.

Not sure what the vintage was, but I think it was probably fairly new, since the flavor profile was a bit young. Poured a murky brown, with a bit of yeast sediment floating about. Aroma was striking, with some fig and prune. Overall, the sweetness, caramel malt and breadyness made me think of the dessert bread pudding. Some raw alcohol notes. A bit syrupy, with a protracted bitter hops finish. This was quite a good barleywine, and I think it might mellow out a bit with some age.

The beer pours a sibylline purplish red plum color, the head cyclopean in size, with a creamy texture, the color light tan, the lace portly sheets, that cling titanically to the glass. Nose is fusel alcohol, malt, extremely ripe bananas, wow what a treat for the smeller. Start is sweet, the top is middling, but the alcohol bitterness smacks your palate immediately", dynamically hopped, the acidity, mild, dry and alcohol bitter aftertaste. I would describe the beer as vigorous, and certainly not meant for the Light beer crowd, Im not sure if its meant for Man nor Beast, but I love these over the top Bad Boys, that make you wince.

Poured this 12 oz. brown bottle into a nonic. The "bottled on" panel was not notched. Two fingers of off-white creamy head slowly faded to a filmy lace clinging to the glass.
Smell was spicy and sweet. Brown sugar over sweet potatoes. Interesting.
Taste was sweet as well but well balanced with a bright hops flavor. Rich. Well hidden alcohol (said to be 11%). Slight cherry flavor. Not my favorite style but interesting.
Mouthfeel was medium to full in body. Hops oils linger in the mouth.

Pours a murky brown in color with some reddish highlights. Smell is huge malts and some hops. Taste is huge caramel malts. Over the top malts. A little bit of hops again in the back end. Medium body on the mouthfeel. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Pretty good barleywine.

Pours a rich deep copper/amber color with a nice fluffy tan head that falls to clumped foam and leaves some nice lacing around the glass.
Aroma is rich caramel, molasses fruity raisins/figs brown sugars with a decent hops in the background. Smells more like a rich English barley wine then American.
Taste is rich malty caramel, molasses brown sugars running around the mouth with hints of dark fruit. Piney hops imparting flavors and decent bitterness. Nice full flavored treat big on malt and decent hop infusion.
Mouthfeel is medium full big and mellow but enough carbonation to aide the bring the flavors to the front.
Drinkability is good enjoyable treat thats a present surprise to find here in Bristol can see picking more of these up as the weather cools.

From a 12oz bottle into a snifter. I had this brew on tap at the BBC in Louisville and found it to be much more complex than in bottle.
Pours a dark brown with some ruby highlights and a nice creamy tan head that leaves fantastic lacing.
Smells of hops with some subtle mint as well.
Taste is very hoppy. This is still a very young barleywine as it was bottled in Dec. 06. Chocolate in the front with a minty finish.
Slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a good beer that will probably get better with some time. I did find the on tap version to be far more complex and enjoyable.

Paid $2.09 for a single at The Party Source in Bellevue, KY...
The beer pours a dark brown, hazy base, with a huge white head, excellent head retention, and artistic lacing on the sides of the glass, brilliant! The aroma is a mix of rich malted barley and a side tone of alcohol.
The taste is pretty dynamic, malted barley, grapes, cinnamon tones but the alcohol tones in the nose and on the tongue distract me little in this stage as well. The beer is very drinkable at a strong 11%, and it feels rather light in the mouth, and very creamy thanks to the head.
Final Thought: If it weren't for the tones of alcohol, this one would be remarkable; instead, it's still a solid brew!

Poured a medium to deeper and cloudy brownish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, nuts, caramel, and citrus. Tastes of caramel, some dark fruits, citrus, chocolate, and brown sugar sweetness. Alcohol content hidden. Nice lacing left on the glass.

Here are my thoughts:
First off I think it is fair to say that this offseason is one that has been full of activity from the front office which was new in a way cause it has been so long since we have made many signings/ cuts. It was a bit refreshing to see all the new signings we made and I hope the new members help contribute to our success.
On Sunday night, I had just turned the tv on and tuned in to the NFL Network just to see if anything new has happened because the closer the draft gets here the more distant it seems. Anyway, I read the news that was going across the bottom of the screen and when I read that we traded Tone to the Jets for a 5th rounder I stood up and my jaw dropped in shock. Although I hadn't really cared for whenever he would get a first down or made a big play he would flex or hold the ball out and drop it I never expected this to happen. I believe the release of Holmes opens a door to Limas Sweed in a big way. This is his last opportunity to do something or else he may be the next one to be released. I think Sweed has confidence issues because when he gets in there he plays not trying to make a big mistake again rather than going out there to have fun and catch tds.
Big Ben is the biggest issue where I believe we all wonder what is going on in that big noggin of his, but what if he is at a place in his life where accomplishments led to a big ego which in turn allows him to think he is bigger than anyone or any situation that comes his way. I was sickened by the details the Georgia DA shared with us about what occured that night that I could care less whether he was on the team anymore or not. After calming down I would give him another chance to redeem his past actions and that means being clean from now on. Even if he didn't sexually assault the previous two victims he should've learned from the first time not to put himself in the situation where a young lady may be looking to get famous or looking for a quick buck. But without a conviction we should stand behind our QB and support him. We need to pray that he doesn't do anything else foolish from now on and become the QB the Steelers want and the fans want to cheer for.

Research being conducted through the University of Maine's Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) was highlighted in the the National Climate Assessment report recently released by President Barack Obama, which found global warming is directly affecting life in Maine and other New England states.
The research by the SSI team is focused on the effects of increasingly intense and frequent storms striking Maine and New England, causing millions of dollars in damage and threatening fragile ecosystems. Shaleen Jain, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Esperanza Stancioff, an extension associate professor, are leading the team that is helping Maine communities better understand and prepare for the potential local impacts of climate change.
The report explains how the research team "mapped decisions by town managers in Maine to sources of climate information, engineering design, mandated requirements, and calendars that identified the complex, multi-jurisdictional challenges of widespread adaptation for even such seemingly simple actions as using larger culverts to carry water from major storms."
Research by the UMaine team is highlighted in the Northeast section of the report under "Key Message: Planning and Adaptation."
The National Climate Assessment summarizes the impacts of climate change on the United States. More than 300 experts guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee produced the report, which was reviewed by the public and experts, including federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences, according to the report.
The UMaine research project is funded by the Sustainability Solutions Initiative, a program of the Senator George J. Mitchell Center, which is supported by National Science Foundation award EPS-0904155 to Maine EPSCoR at the University of Maine and a grant from NOAA's National Sea Grant Coastal Communities Climate Adaptation Initiative (CCCAI).

Departmental Grading Policy
According to Graduate School policy, individual course grades below a 2.7 will not be counted toward graduate degree requirements. A minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 is required for graduation. Additional information about the Grading System for Graduate Students can be found at: http://www.grad.washington.edu/policies/memoranda/memo19.shtml
Numerical Grade
Interpretive Statement
Excellent and exceptional work for a graduate student. Work at this level is unusually thorough, well-reasoned, methodologically sophisticated, and well-written. Work is of good professional quality, shows an incisive understanding of health services-related issues and demonstrates clear recognition of appropriate analytical approaches to address health problems and questions.
Strong work for a graduate student. Work at this level shows some signs of creativity, is thorough and well-reasoned, indicates strong understanding of appropriate methodological or analytical approaches, and demonstrates clear recognition and good understanding of salient health services-related issues and problems.
Competent and sound work for a graduate student; well-reasoned and thorough, methodologically sound, but not especially creative or insightful or technically sophisticated; shows adequate understanding of health services-related issues and problems, although that understanding may be somewhat incomplete. This is the graduate student grade that indicates neither unusual strength or exceptional weakness.
Adequate work for a graduate student even though some weaknesses are evident. Moderately thorough and well-reasoned, but some indication that understanding of the important issues is less than complete and perhaps inadequate in other respects as well. Methodological or analytical approaches used are generally adequate but have one or more weaknesses or limitations.
Borderline work for a graduate student; barely meets the minimal expectations for a graduate student in the course; understanding of salient issues is incomplete, methodological or analytical work performed in the course is minimally adequate. Overall performance, if consistent in graduate courses, would barely suffice to sustain graduate status in "good standing."
Deficient work for a graduate student; does not meet the minimal expectations for a graduate student in the course. Work is inadequately developed or flawed by numerous errors and misunderstanding of important issues. Methodological or analytical work performed is weak and fails to demonstrate knowledge or technical competence expected of graduate students.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech extended its season-opening winning streak to seven Saturday afternoon as the Red Raiders claimed the Lonestar Showdown title with a 3-1 victory (25-14, 22-25, 25-21, 25-16) over Northwestern State at the United Spirit Arena.
David connected a team-high 14 kills to lead the Red Raiders after taking 32 swings that resulted in only two errors. The sophomore, who hit a season-high .375 in the match, was named the tournament MVP as she also totaled 12 digs, marking her second career double-double and first of the season.
Emily Ehrle and Aubree Piper each chipped in eight kills for the Red Raiders (7-0), who were taken to a fourth set for the first time all weekend. Miara Cave and Lydia McKay also added seven and six kills each to balance the Tech attack.
"It is always good to see different people step up at different times," Tech head coach Don Flora said. "I give Northwestern State a lot of credit for having a good game plan in making us work hard throughout the entire match. I'm real proud of Breeann David and Rachel Brummitt for really being good for us again today."
The Red Raiders finished the match hitting .283, their second-highest average of the season, while also holding Northwestern State to a .116 mark that was caused in part due to Tech's 17-5 advantage in blocks.
In addition to her work offensively, David also recorded a career-high seven blocks in the contest, breaking her previous mark of six set most recently just the night before against San Jose State.
Lydia McKay also posted six blocks for the Red Raiders while Emily Ruetter and Piper each added five. Ruetter finished with 38 assists from the setter position while also recording five digs.
A day after setting the Tech record for most digs in a three-set match, Brummitt once again found the 20-dig mark as she scooped up 21 while Emily Wright also was in double-digits with 10. Brummitt and Wright both added a pair of aces as Tech posted a season-high nine in the match.
Brummitt and Piper joined David as post-tournament honorees as they were both on the all-tournament team.
Caiti O'Connell led the Northwestern State offense with 19 kills while Mackenzie Neely and Kelly Jimenez were both in double digits with 12 and 11 kills each as well.
The Lady Demons hit .278 to win the second set and tie the match early as the Red Raiders committed seven of their 13 attacking errors overall in the frame alone.
The Red Raiders will take only a day off before returning to the court Monday afternoon to face North Texas. First serve is set for 2 p.m. at the United Spirit Arena.
• The win extended Texas Tech's season-opening winning to seven straight, which is still the longest run to open a year since the 2003 team won eight-eight straight.
• With the win, Texas Tech is now 2-0 all-time against Northwestern State as the Red Raiders also defeated the Lady Demons during last season's Texas Tech Invitational.
• The win improved Texas Tech to 21-2 under head coach don Flora in non-conference matches and 18-1 when playing in a tournament setting.
• The tournament title was already the fifth for the Red Raiders under Don Flora. It was also the 55th all-time tournament title for Tech in school history.
• The Red Raiders have also defended their home court well under Flora as Tech is 6-0 in non-conference matches during his two seasons.
• With the win, Flora is now 291-76 as a collegiate head coach 22-17 while at Texas Tech.
• For the second-straight match Don Flora went a more-experienced starting lineup, using seniors Miara Cave and Tory Vaughan along with junior Aubree Piper, sophomores Breeann David, Mikia Mills, and Rachel Brummitt and freshman Emily Ruetter. It was the second-straight match only two newcomers were in the starting rotation.
• Breeann David's 14 kills and .375 hitting percentage both marked season highs. She also totaled 10 digs for her second career double-double. It was her first double-double since totaling 15 kills and 12 digs on Sept. 26 last year at New Mexico.
• In addition to her work offensively, David also recorded a career-high seven blocks, barely breaking her previous mark of six that was most recently matched Friday evening against San Jose State.
• Rachel Brummitt found the 20-dig mark for the third time this season as the sophomore finished with 21 in the match. Brummitt had previously totaled 27 the night before against San Jose State to set the Tech single-match record for most digs in a three-set match.
• Emily Wright found double digits in digs for the third time this season as she posted 12 against Boston College and 10 against both San Jose State and Northwestern State.
• The Red Raiders' .283 hitting percentage was their second-highest of the season, behind the .363 mark set Aug. 24 against Binghamton.

Darrell Van Citters' definitive book on MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL is now available and can be ordered thru the book's website and also at ComiCon in San Diego coming up soon.
By all accounts this book is a dream come true for fans of the show, which was the first original prime time animated Christmas special, and features original songs by Jule Styne and was directed by Abe Levitow, one of Chuck Jones' lead animators. Magoo portrays himself, playing Scrooge in a Broadway stage version of Dicken's classic, populated by original characters from the story and featuring voices by Morey Amsterdam and the always wonderful Paul Frees. The illustrations I have seen from the book are first rate, depicting behind the scenes photos and production artwork. Notably, the color of the film stills and artwork does justice to the piece that no currently available home-video release does. Copies autographed by various surviving participants are available in limited quantities, so if you love this film you will want to snap this up.

I recently renewed my subscription to Shane Glines' CARTOON RETRO, something I have happily done for 5 years running now. Updated every weekday, CR is a mandatory blast of inspiration and well worth the annual $50 expense, even in these challenging times. The site is a treasure trove of brilliant imagery past and present, original and printed, featuring art well known and lesser well known (to me anyway) by cartoon and illustration virtuosos around the world and over the century. The exclusive extras include Shane's own original sketches and paintings, as well as a blog of additional goodies. If you can put the 50 fish together and haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for? You won't be sorry!

We are half way through our polling on the B1G Social Network from a Purdue point of view. Thanks again to everyone who has voted. We have completed our thoughts on Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio State and Nebraska. So, next up is the only Private school in the B1G, the Northwestern Wildcats. When I grew up, Northwestern was horrible in both basketball and football, or at least that is how I saw them. I expected us to beat them every year in all sports. But it seems that is not the case anymore. The football program has improved, and the basketball program is very close to making the NCAA (they made it pretty far in the NIT this past year).
So, we will continue our journey to Evanston, Illinois. What do you think of Northwestern?

Positive I.D.
"In yoga, you use your body functionally, and that really gives you a great sense of accomplishment," says Hara Estroff Marano, author of Style Is Not a Size (Bantam, 1991) and creator of the above-mentioned Psychology Today study on body image. The sense of achievement is nice, but far more valuable is the intimate relationship with the body that these achievements represent. And as we learn to relate to the body in this new way, we often grow more accepting of it—maybe even grateful for it. "Acceptance to me means being in an ongoing process with our bodies and how we feel about them, rather than looking at an end result," Sell says.
Of course, it's easy to feel pleased with our body when it is improving or getting stronger. But through an emphasis on acceptance, yoga teaches us to embrace both our strengths and our deficiencies. For instance, Lynn Bass has open hips but tight shoulders. By acknowledging rather than resisting her limitations, she has found more joy in her practice. "When I first started practicing, I hated when we would do anything that required my shoulders to be open," she says. "Then I realized that there were some poses I could do that others struggled with. That helped me to appreciate what my body can do and not get as frustrated over what it can't do." As we come to accept our limitations on the mat, we often realize that we can also accept the limitations of our physical appearance: When we can acknowledge, for instance, that our shoulders are tighter than most and that we may never be able to master certain poses as a result, we might also begin to accept that our thighs are larger than society's ideal.
The process of establishing a healthy relationship with our body also means accepting the changes that come with age or when we get sick or injured. Many people with chronic pain, injuries, or disease report that yoga helps them make peace with their physical experience and limitations. Three years ago, Shirley Spencer was injured in a commercial truck accident that left her with herniated disks in her neck. Although it is sometimes painful to do yoga, she recently began practicing it."It is making a difference in the functionality of my body," she says, "and I am beginning to be at home in it again."
Seeing Yourself Clearly
In that study, both male and female subjects took a math test in front of a full-length mirror, wearing either a sweater or a bathing suit. Roberts found that while the men did about the same on the test regardless of their attire, the women had significantly lower math scores on tests taken while they were wearing swimsuits. According to Roberts's interpretation, the study shows that in front of a mirror, the women saw themselves as others might see them and became distracted by that image.

As we start a new year, let's reflect on the beauty of the holiday season at Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home. The start of December found staff and residents helping to "Deck Our Halls.''
Led by Susan Kenyon, personal care staff and residents trimmed our four indoor trees; while Frank Miller and Gary Wadsworth lit our 3 outdoor trees and "stellar" crab apple trees with light aglow.
Doorways and chandeliers were decorated in holiday style and The Clark Greenhouse poinsettias graced our rooms and entrances, the outdoor wreaths and garlands were as lovely as ever.
Dec. 5 started the season off with a visit from Cooperstown Fire Department Santa and friends. Residents gathered in the Living Room and memorable photos were taken.
On Dec. 13, the Annual Board of Directors Christmas Party was held and the weather co-operated. The Kitchen and Dining Staff did a lovely job with preparations for this wondrous, festive gathering of Board Members, residents and their families and guests.
Laurie Blatt, Administrator, Kathy Lindberg, Dining Services Manager and all staff present, made the evening memorable.
Dec. 15 was Christmas shopping day for our adopted "Family.'' Residents and staff collected $950 to make this Christmas very special for a mom and her children. Shopping was done by Mary Butler, Darcey Schilling and Sheila Jones.
On Dec. 16, The "Clara Welch Elves'' began the joyous wrapping of gifts for our family which were delivered by Mary Butler, Kristen Hext and Leon Rathbun. What a wonderful feeling shared by all who participated in this event.
Surprise Wednesday activities continued through December and includedChristmas sing-a-longs in the library and living room, Christmas songs bingo, Tongue Twister Wheel of Fortune and Bird Watchers Pine Cone Ornaments.
On Dec. 17, our staff/resident Potluck Dinner was held and special guests, Santa and Mrs. Claus were present to share in our culinary delights!
December held its spiritual moments, by visits from Christ Church and St. Mary's ministers for communion, Bible Study with Sue Drake, Ecumenical Service with Rev. Elsie Rhodes from the First Presbyterian Church and Christmas Eve service with Father Mark Michael from Christ Church.
Every year we are blessed with Christmas Concerts. This year brought the angelic voices of "Ah-Coopella," the sweetness of the third graders from Milford School, the Kris Kringle Carolers of Cooperstown, and the amazing Cooperstown Central School choir "Harmonia" led by Sal Salvaggio.
Dec. 20 was the Staff Christmas Party. Laurie and Fred Blatt cooked a lovely meal of traditional and veggie lasagna, tossed salad, bread and cookies. Staff Secret Santas exchanged gifts; certificates of service were announced and Laurie's gifts to staff were received.
What a lovely way to celebrate together.
We would like to honor our Dec. birthdays: residents Ralph Veenema, Dot Gardner, and Peg Hage along with staff member Joyce Haney who after 29 years will be retiring soon. Felicitations to all.
On Christmas a very special meal was shared by resident and family members, while others took off for time with loved ones.
On Dec. 31, a New Years Eve Happy Hour was celebrated with champagne and shrimp cocktail.
on New Year's Day all of us in our Thanksgiving Home family celebrated the new year with the hope of good will, good health, peace and happiness.
May God Bless us all, keep us safe and strong, and may the joy and love we experience in our home, extend to you and yours.

Utterance Interpretation and cognitive models (UICM4)
Utterance Interpretation and cognitive models (UICM4)
The fourth issue of the conference « Utterance Interpretation and Cognitive Models » (UICM 4) took place in Brussels 02-03 September 2013 with, as keynote speakers:
‣ Elisabeth Camp (University of Pennsylvania)
‣ Raymond Gibbs (University of California, Santa Cruz)
‣ Rachel Giora (University of Tel Aviv)
‣ Marina Terkourafi (University of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois)
UCIM4 is the fourth of bi-annual series of conferences organised in Brussels. The first edition addressed the issue of the semantics / pragmatics interface; the second edition broadened the perspective by inviting the views of scholars from the related subfields of syntax, cognitive linguistics and evolutionary linguistics, while the third gathered researchers mainly interested in the developmental and cognitive determinants of utterance interpretation.
For this edition we focused on questions related to implicit contents in utterance interpretation: pragmatic inferences, related to non-literal contents and affective contents, style effects, indirect speech acts, displays of politeness.
Keeping with the general spirit of the series, the conference aims at reaching across disciplinary boundaries and bringing together researchers taking a view of interpretation that is informed by cognitive concerns in order to discuss the challenging and exciting issues concerning implicit communication.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agent has been arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault, and one count of official oppression.
On Tuesday, 40-year-old Agent Joe Chavez, Jr. was arrested and taken to the Bastrop County Jail and is currently being held on a $225,000 bond for an alleged sexual assault during a minor sting operation in May. The criminal investigation is being conducted by the Bastrop County Sheriff's office and the Texas Rangers.
Chavez has been placed on leave without pay. Additionally, the agency has suspended minor sting operations statewide pending a review of agency policies and procedures.
Chavez has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints filed against him since being hired by TABC in January 2004. As with all TABC agents, Chavez is a TCLEOSE-certified peace officer, and an extensive background check was conducted prior to being hired by TABC.
Sexual assault is a 2nd degree felony punishable by 2-20 years in prison and a possible fine up to $10,000. Official oppression is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine up to $4,000 and/or up to a year in jail.

Smoking Policy
No smoking cigarettes inside! Obv!
Respect the rights of non-smokers to live in a smoke-free environment. If someone complains of smoke somewhow entering personal space, figure out an alternative solution. Be respectful of non-smokers when smoking in outdoor public areas. Cigarette butts MUST be placed in a proper container. Cans that are to be recycled are a poor choice.
Non-smokers, please respect the rights of smokers to smoke. Also, please note that they are already aware that smoking is bad for them. Mmm, tasty smoke...
Smoking policy changes from year to year, based on the rules decided upon during consensus-based house rule decision time. In 2005-2006, smokers were allowed to burn in the following places: -The front porch -The back porch, provided nobody was sleeping -Anywhere on Synergy grounds where there was no risk of fire hazard, so long as butts were not discarded in our beautiful environment.

This camera is an all-purpose P&S, delivering on almost all counts. Its sleek, stylish and has loads of features. The noise is more in dim light( due to higher ISO speeds the camera opts for), but the aperture of 2.8 compensates for that. A very welcome feature is 24 MM wide angle, various image presets and the Digic 4 processor( Canon have introduced Digic 5 with the S100). Some of the cons however, are:
1. Not suitable for fast paced ( action) photography
2. No Shallow DOF ( i know its a DSLR feature, but i expected some DOF witht the f2.8 aperture)
3. Good but not excellent low ligh... (Expand)
I simply love this camera. It has really great features and it's value for money.
The black color camera has matte finish and others have smooth finish. I preferred black since it is very slim and matte finish offers some grip.
The quality of photos shot in the evening are great. I haven't seen any other camera that has this capability. It comes with tons of other features.

Dear Flipkart
Thank you for your prompt service and patient reply over the phone for my repeated queries. IXUS 220 HS is definitely worth every penny and the clarity is very good and far better than many high end models. The packaging of product is terrific and Blue Dart as your carrier is a very good decision. We hope to have many more good experiences from flipkart in future. One request to you, if there is any delay in delivery prompt information mail will be appreciated.
Bought it two days back. Flipkart delivered the product in a day!
Loved the make of the camera. Takes amazing pics under low light without flash. The black one has a mat finish which definitely is a better choice.

Abstract—Shape similarity search is a crucial task in image databases, particularly in the presence of errors induced by segmentation or scanning images. The resulting slight displacements or rotations have not been considered so far in the literature. We present a new similarity model that flexibly addresses this problem. By specifying neighborhood influence weights, the user may adapt the similarity distance functions to her or his requirements or preferences. Technically, the new similarity model is based on quadratic forms for which we present a multistep query processing architecture particularly for high dimensions as they occur in image databases. Our algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of quadratic form-based similarity queries results in a lower-bounding distance function that is proven to provide an optimal filter selectivity. Experiments on our test database of 10,000 images demonstrate the applicability and the performance of our approach even in high dimensions such as 1,024.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Piano Boulder along with the West Facing ridge it sits along offer a handfull of easy to moderately difficult bouldering lines. With the dam construction projects, the area has seen increased traffic now that is among the few remaining bouldering locales with a short approach accessible from Fort Collins. The classic traverse of the Piano Boulder (V5) is among the harder lines here. Quite a few easy traverses and up problems exist on the ridge.
Getting There
From Overland Trail in Fort Collins head West on CR 42C near Hughes Stadium. After the curves and hill turn left on CR 23, follow until the current road block above the Spring Canyon Dam. Park on the left and find the main trail to the left (don't use the many social trails immediately ahead of the parking area).

Featured Route For Piano Ridge
Piano Traverse V5 6C CO : Fort Collins : ... : Piano Ridge
This fun traverse is the obvious boulder up from the approach trail, just off of the ridge. Most people start on the NE arete on a jug and traverse counterclockwise around this boulder, but it is possible and possibly easier to go the opposite direction. The moves are generally continous on the N, W and S faces on thin edges or slopers with predominately bad feet. The hard stuff is over after pulling onto the slabby E face. Get it dialed and go for laps....[more] Browse More Classics in CO
