Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: The world's largest rocket, tested at SpaceX's McGregor site, will be launched on within two years, officials announced.
Elon Musk, chief executive and chief rocket designer of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) unveiled the dramatic final specifications and launch date for the Falcon Heavy, the world's largest rocket.
"Falcon Heavy will carry more payload to orbit or escape velocity than any vehicle in history, apart from the Saturn V moon rocket, which was decommissioned after the Apollo program," Musk said in a prepared statement. "This opens a new world of capability for both government and commercial space missions. Falcon Heavy will arrive at our Vandenberg, California, launch complex by the end of next year, with liftoff to follow soon thereafter. First launch from our Cape Canaveral launch complex is planned for late 2013 or 2014."
Musk added that with the ability to carry satellites or interplanetary spacecraft weighing over 53 metric tons or 117,000 pounds to orbit,
Falcon Heavy will have more than twice the performance of the Delta IV Heavy, the next most powerful vehicle, which is operated by United Launch Alliance, a Boeing-Lockheed Martin joint venture.
Fifty-three metric tons is more than the maximum take-off weight of a fully-loaded Boeing 737-200 with 136 passengers. In other words, Falcon Heavy can deliver the equivalent of an entire commercial airplane full of passengers, crew, luggage and fuel all the way to orbit.
Falcon Heavy's first stage will be made up of three nine-engine cores, which are used as the first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
It will be powered by SpaceX's upgraded Merlin engines currently being tested at the SpaceX rocket development facility in McGregor.
Falcon Heavy will generate 3.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. This is the equivalent to the thrust of fifteen Boeing 747s taking off at the same time.
Falcon Heavy has been designed for "extreme reliability," officials said.
Unique safety features of the Falcon 9 are preserved, such as the ability to complete its mission even if multiple engines fail. Like a commercial airliner, each engine is surrounded by a protective shell that contains a worst case situation like fire or a chamber rupture, preventing it from affecting other engines or the vehicle itself.
Anticipating potential astronaut transport needs, Falcon Heavy is also designed to meet NASA human rating standards, unlike other satellite launch vehicles. For example, this means designing to higher structural safety margins of 40 percent above flight loads, rather than the 25 percent level of other rockets, and triple redundant avionics.
Falcon Heavy will be the first rocket in history to do propellant cross-feed from the side boosters to the center core, thus leaving the center core with most of its propellant after the side boosters separate.
The net effect is that Falcon Heavy achieves performance comparable to a three stage rocket, even though only the upper stage is airlit, further improving both payload performance and reliability. Crossfeed is not required for missions below 100,000 lbs, and can be turned off if desired.
Despite being designed to higher structural margins than other rockets, the side booster stages will have a mass ratio (full of propellant vs empty) above 30, better than any vehicle of any kind in history.
Falcon Heavy, with more than twice the payload, but less than one third the cost of a Delta IV Heavy, will provide much needed relief to government and commercial budgets. In fact, Falcon Heavy at approximately $1,000 per pound to orbit, sets a new world record in affordable spaceflight.
This year, even as the Department of Defense budget was cut, the EELV launch program, which includes the Delta IV, still saw a thirty percent increase.
The 2012 budget for four Air Force launches is $1.74 billion, which is an average of $435 million per launch.
Falcon 9 is offered on the commercial market for $50-60 million and Falcon Heavy is offered for $80-$125 million. Unlike competitors, the price includes all non-recurring development costs and on-orbit delivery of an agreed upon mission. For government missions, NASA has added mission assurance and additional services to the Falcon 9 for less than $20 million.
Vehicle Overview
Mass to Orbit (200 km, 28.5 deg): 53 metric tons (117,000 lb)
Length: 69.2 m (227 ft)
Max Stage Width: 5.2 m (17 ft)
Total Width: 11.6 meters (38 ft)
Weight at Liftoff: 1,400 metric tons or 3.1 million lbs
Thrust on Liftoff: 1,700 metric tons or 3.8 million lbs
SpaceX develops, manufactures and launches family of launch vehicles and spacecraft that are increasing the reliability and performance of space transportation, while ultimately reducing costs by a factor of ten. With the Falcon rockets, SpaceX has a diverse manifest of launches to deliver commercial and government satellites to orbit. After the Space Shuttle retires, the Falcon 9 and SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft will start carrying cargo, including live plants and animals, to and from the International Space Station for NASA. Falcon 9 and Dragon were developed to one day carry astronauts.
Founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, SpaceX is a private company owned by management and employees, with minority investments from Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Valor Equity Partners. The company has over 1,250 employees in California, Texas and Florida.

Reconnect with Nature amongst the incredible beauty in Panama. Panama is a land bridge, created when it emerged out of the ocean approximately 3 million years ago, some say it emerged when Atlantis sunk into the ocean. Because it is a bridge between South and Central American it has one of the largest biodiversities in the world. Over 950 species of birds and over 10,000 species of plant life live in Panama. It also has some species of plants and animals that exist nowhere else in the world, like El Valle's square trees and golden frogs.
By reconnecting with nature here in Panama, you can build the bridge between your hectic modern life filled with man's technology and the harmony, balance and peace of Nature by taking a Spirit Walk with Anne.
The Spirit Walks will be geared towards all levels of abilities. From easy to challenging. The next Spirit Walk will be of moderate difficulty, meaning that you do not have to be athletic or especially strong, but should not have any difficulty walking on uneven ground or suffer any chronic back or leg pains.
The Spirit Walks will last approximately 2-4 hours. Wear comfortable walking shoes that can get wet or muddy and bring drinking water and any trail snacks you might need. Organic bug repellent is suggested* and sunblock. (although most hikes will be in the shade of the forest.)
* Anne has available bottles of an all natural organic Insect repellant, Gruber's Jungle Oil, for purchase at $10.00/bottle. Made by a local gentleman here in Panama. This repellent has been jungle tested by Anne and her Embera' father in law and is also highly effective as an after bite/sting remedy if you forget to put on the repellent.

Mount Moriah's Spacious, Long-Gestating Americana
Mount Moriah
w/ Blessed Feathers and Daphne Lee Martin. $8 advance, $10 doors. 9 p.m., Mar. 23. Cafe Nine, 250 State St., New Haven, cafenine.com
Just because Jenks Miller grew up with fundamentally Southern music doesn't mean he had to like it. Once a young resident of downtown Raleigh, N.C., Miller lived down the block from a gospel church that, as he recalls, "was rockin' very loud and awesome" every Sunday. "I would probably appreciate it more today. At the time, anything remotely religious was [something] I wouldn't give the time of day," says the 31-year-old guitarist of Mount Moriah, an alt-country trio (and often four-piece) openly smitten with Southern forms. "That has a lot to do with this place. The ways that the South has defined religion can be very constrictive." Though he didn't live in a particularly religious household, Miller did have parents who were into folk, country and bluegrass — all things he disliked or grew to dislike — and much to his chagrin, there were family outings to music festivals presented by the local traditional music organization PineCone.
On a sonic level, he couldn't stand all the twang. He didn't identify with the value systems either. "I guess I associated [those genres] with a stagnant way of thinking, and there was also the association of a lack of education in music," he says. "When I was very young, I was probably not listening to it properly, so I only heard those things. I only heard the negative aspects. I didn't have a way I could appreciate it." On top of all this, being surrounded by these styles framed them as pillars of blandness and tradition. Miller grew up a metal head, and as an adult, he still runs the the cutting, experimental metal outfit Horseback.
With time and "an adult mind," Miller's distaste softened, even turning to affection. The transition wasn't abrupt by any means; all along, Miller notes, there were a few players and elements he enjoyed above the genres named above. Neil Young's work with Crazy Horse became a gateway into Neil Young's solo work, which became crucial for Miller. "His ability to work with [both] folk music forms and more abstract, soundscape-y, sprawling rock epics was sort of that moment of awakening for me," Miller says. To a degree, Miller's story of being an aggressive musician who found something to relish about country, Americana and folk has happened before and will happen again. GG Allin, Swans' Michael Gira, Hank Williams III, Bad Religion's Greg Graffin, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace and Rise Against's Tim McIlrath have all followed similar arcs.
Around 2005, Miller was shopping at the now-closed Schoolkids Records in Chapel Hill when he met Heather McEntire, who played in a post-punk outfit called Bellafea. The two started talking about recording something together, which jumpstarted a very fruitful relationship. Over time, Miller and McEntire would become friends, co-workers (she scored him a job at Schoolkids), roommates, bandmates and co-conspirators behind a small label called Holidays for Quince Records. The pair's first shared group was the poppy Un Deux Trois, which they began circa 2006. Eventually, Miller and McEntire's main focus would be Mount Moriah, a project that originally featured Miller on the mic and a rotating crew of performers. The reformatted two-piece's sound hewed close to the original Moriah's Americana-oriented blueprint, with McEntire now handling lead vocals.
Miller's favorite country musicians fall within the Bakersfield sound/outlaw country field, and he aims to keep one of those genres' key tenets thriving in Mount Moriah. "I feel like a lot of the early country records do a beautiful job of keeping the structure of the song afloat with really minimal means," he says, mentioning the relative absence of guitars. Mount Moriah's 2011 record had an abundance of negative space, Miller says, before bringing up Miracle Temple, their second full-length, which was released last month. "On this record, there's a little bit more happening, but at the same time, the band tries really hard to stay out of Heather's way so that her vocals remain the focal point and so it actually becomes a challenge to keep that space carved out."
At its core, Mount Moriah scratches a few itches for Miller. He jokes about facing "a challenge to keep things presentable" with this band (That means no noise sections or strange concepts), finds the musical sameness almost reassuring, and enjoys the pair tangling with traditional and historic music on their own terms. "On sort of a conceptual level, [Mount Moriah] is about re-engagement or recasting the ubiquitous parts of Southern culture in a way that we can relate to," he says, "and here we are today."Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Isakson Fights Administration's Efforts to Tip Scales in Favor of Labor Unions
By Rome Newswire Staff Reports on May 01, 2012 with Comments 0
U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson recently continued his fight to stop the Administration from tipping the scales in favor of labor unions, voting to have the Senate debate on a resolution to block the National Labor Relations Board from implementing its "ambush election" rule, which is designed to speed up union representation elections in hopes of helping labor unions win.
Isakson, who is the ranking Republican on the Senate Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety, is a co-sponsor of a resolution of disapproval, S.J. Res 36, which would allow Congress to stop the National Labor Relations Board from implementing its "ambush election" rule. Isakson voted in favor of a motion to proceed to the resolution. The motion to proceed needed 60 votes but failed in the Senate by a vote of 45-54.
Under this new "ambush election" rule by the National Labor Relations Board, union elections could take place as quickly as 10 days after they're requested – before employees have a chance to understand their rights or have opportunity to hear from both sides. Until now, 92 percent of all union elections typically take place within 56 days, with the average being 38 days, according to the National Labor Relations Board annual report.
"For 75 years, U.S. labor laws have served us well. We do not have a problem in terms of workers being able to organize and negotiate collectively. The problem is that the administration is attempting to circumvent the legislative branch of government and tip the scales in favor of unions through rule and regulation because they could not pass this measure on the floor of the Senate," said Isakson on the Senate floor.
"Rules and regulations such as the ambush election rule are creating uncertainty and making it difficult for America to do business. I am proud to stand by my colleagues in fighting ambush elections, which then-Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy warned about on April 21, 1959, when he said that there should be 'at least a 30 day interval between the request for an election and the holding of an election… in which both parties can present their viewpoints.' If it was right for John Kennedy in April 1959, it should be right for the United States Senate in April 2012."
The Congressional Review Act allows either the Senate or the House to introduce a joint resolution of disapproval that, if passed, has the full force of law to stop a federal agency from implementing a recent rule or regulation. A resolution of disapproval introduced under the Congressional Review Act cannot be filibustered and needs only a simple majority in the Senate to pass if acted upon during a 60-day window. Today's vote in the Senate was a motion to proceed to the resolution, and that motion needed 60 votes to pass.
Prior to the December 2011 expiration of National Labor Relations Board member Craig Becker's recess appointment, the labor board quickly issued the final rule to allow "ambush elections," and it is set to be implemented on April 30, 2012.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace have filed a lawsuit to contest the rule on the grounds that it violates the National Labor Relations Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as well as free speech and due process constitutional rights.

Ethical vs Moral
The difference between ethical and moral is very confusing for some people. At first glance, the two concepts may even appear synonymous. However, there is a difference that will be clear after reading this article. Every society has codes of conduct that are considered ethical and people engaging in behaviors that breach this code of conduct are looked down upon. Let us take a closer look by citing some examples.
Abortion is one subject that was considered as a taboo a few decades ago. There are religions around the world that consider it as a sin against humanity even today. However, to give parents the ability to limit their family and also to control booming population that puts pressure on resources, abortion has been legalized in many countries. If anyone in country that has legalized abortion goes for it, it is perfectly OK in the eyes of the law and may even be ethical in the eyes of the society, there are people who consider it immoral to kill fetus as they think it is tantamount to killing. This is where difference between morals and ethics becomes clear and transparent. Ethical is what a society considers to be good and OK whereas moral is a personal belief system that is at a much deeper level.
Another topic of heated discussion is homosexuality. There are many countries where societies have finally accepted that there are people who have sexual tendencies towards same sex and they have even made provisions to the effect that such people are not discriminated against. This means that societies have finally yielded and consider it ethical and legal to engage in homosexuality. However, there are lots of people in these very societies who are vociferous against such behaviors as they think it is immoral to indulge in homosexuality and they abhor it.
• Moral and ethical sound similar but they are different.
• Ethical are those codes of conduct that are considered proper and OK by the society. However they may still be immoral for people at a deeper level where his personal belief system resides.

@mauritia It's definitely depressing. But I don't think that's the fault of this author, or any women who are only "discussing the tired old topic of running out of time to find a man" because of how society has ingrained this kind of pressure into them with terms like "leftover women."

And I agree, blow-by-blow recaps are necessary to no one. I'm interested in interpretation and analysis.
By lucy snowe on What I've Learned From My Side Job Critiquing Dick Pics
I remember after the Weiner scandal, there was so much talk about how no woman wants to receive a dick pick. I just didn't understand it. Not that I'd enjoy getting an unsolicited one from a stranger, but the happy few I've received were... well-received. Why not? It's sexy. It's nice. Why aren't women expected to have a visually stimulated sex drive? We're still people. With eyeballs and groins.
That being said, yes, backgrounds can be distracting. I think I inadvertently insulted a guy asking what the book on his coffee table was. Hey, it just means I kept looking after the first impression!

You made your own empowering choice. I doubt seriously that what you endured could be called tolerating it. I completely understand your point of view. During my assault I felt the best thing to do was make sure I lived and he was caught. I had no opportunity to take control during the assault itself because I was asleep in my home when it began, however, I protected myself from the nightmare of seeing his face in my dreams by never looking at him, and I took control by feigning sympathy and engaging him in conversation. He left in tears, but not by my physicality. It was my "compassion" and his own guilt that made him cry. That is what worked for me with that man. It may not work for me again.
The thing about feeling empowered is that you are more able to keep thinking. That's what keeps you alive. The fact that you remember that you had choices shows that you were thinking. You are clearly a strong woman.

Best Place to Meet Single Women Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2010 - Round Up Country Western Club
9020 W. State Road 84
Davie, FL 33324
The promise of free alcohol ain't what lures ladies to Round Up on Wednesday nights. That's just a marketing strategy to appeal to the male mind: "Hell, I'd go to any bar that lets me drink for free," he reasons. Rather, women flock here because this saloon has what women call an "activity": namely, line dancing. However sausage-heavy the male-female ratio may be in the bar's aggregate, you'll notice that the fenced-in dance floor is dominated by dames. Each is aware of how the line-dancing moves show off her curves and her rhythm. It's up to the lone rangers hanging on the fence to go ahead and ask that divorcée from Tamarac exactly how to do the achy breaky. You might not lasso the first one, but keep at it, cowboy. When it comes to the mating dance, practice makes perfect.

Hey everyone
So I have one daughter who was conceived with DS. I've tried unsuccesfully for a sibling for her but it just isn't happening. I'm thinking of going the DE/DS route. Yes, I've been working with a clinic but I was just wondering if anyone here has done the DE route in Canada? If so, did you go to the USA or is there options here? I don't really have an option of choosing a family member to help me out since I'm last of all of my siblings.
Thanks everyone. That's really helpful info. I'm located in Vancouver, so the Seattle option does exist a little easier than the Shady Grove one. Still, I find your info pretty interesting. My plan at the moment is to follow up with the clinic I've been working with to see how they refer women. I know that they do because twice now he has suggested to me to go the DE route (since I'm older). I've just pretty much been in denial...which I'm sure you all understand!


text: I have a very random question. When I try to upload a photo to anywhere (facebook, picnik, photobucket...) and I use an iphoto image, the images in my upload window are super tiny and I can't change the view. I can't see the pics clearly enough to decide which ones I want to upload. This is annoying. It wasn't always like this! It just seemed to randomly happen, and I can't make it go back. Help! Also, I apparently can't resize from photobucket anymore... sorry for the huge screenshot. Computers suck today.

Libya Rebel Official Aims For Oil Export In 2 Weeks
Libya could pump 500,000-600,000 bpd in 2-3 weeks –Tarhouni; Full volumes could return in about a year; All pre-war contracts to be respected; First top rebel authority figure in Tripoli headquarters
August 27, 2011 3:28 by p.deleon
The Libyan rebel government hopes to restart oil exports within two weeks and reach full volumes in about a year, Ali Tarhouni, the official in charge of financial and oil matters told Reuters from Libya's oil ministry in Tripoli.
It was the first time an official from the rebel National Transitional Authority was seen in the capital taking up the reins of government, after rebel fighters swept into the city four days ago aiming to topple Muammar Gaddafi.
"The NOC (National Oil Corporation) initial estimate is that we can have about 500,000 to 600,000 barrels within two to three weeks. And then we ramp this up to the normal, which is about 1.6 (million). My expectation is that this will be done within a year or so," Tarhouni said.
Damage on most of Libya's oilfields from the civil war has been minimal, he said.
"The state of the oil fields are a lot better than expected," he said. "Overall if we want to put a number on it, the average is about 10 percent or so. Most of the fields are more than 90 percent fine."
He added that Libya would continue to honour existing contracts with oil companies. Asked if there would be any block for companies from countries that had not supported the rebels, he responded: "Not that I know of."
"We have contracts with most of the major companies. Wintershall , Shell , Repsol , Eni . We haven't signed any new contracts. These are pre-revolution contracts. We are going to continue those".
He also said it was too early to discuss awarding any new contracts: "It's the last thing on my mind."
"We're just going to put back things as they used to be. The NOC is the one that is practically running the oil industry. We will restructure that to make sure that it's nimble."
Asked who will be running the oil industry for the foreseeable future until a general election, Tarhouni said: "I'm in charge until they decide to use somebody else."
Tarhouni, formerly a U.S.-based academic and opposition figure in exile, returned to take charge of economic, financial and oil matters on the rebels' executive committee.

Professional Opportunities for History Graduates and Majors
It is widely assumed that most individuals who earn bachelor's degrees in history teach in the public schools. Actually, because of the analytical and literary skills developed in their undergraduate programs, 90% find employment in other areas, while fewer than 10% become teachers. More history graduates find careers in top and mid-level management as executives and administrators than in the public schools, according to the 2008 edition of Julie DeGalan and Stephen Lambert'sGreat Jobs for History Majors.
The most recent edition of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook reports:
Employment of historians is expected to grow by 11 percent, about as fast as the average for all occupations, reflecting the relatively few jobs outside of federal, state, and local government. Nonetheless, historians possess broad training and education in writing, analytical research, and coherent thinking, so their skills can be applied to many different occupations. As a result, many workers with a history background will find work in areas with specialized titles, such as researcher, writer, or policy analyst.
Above you will find links to different areas of employment for history graduates.

nice focused light pattern which I love. Installation of the grid results in a smaller light spot yet. Diffusing sock softens the light as expected.
It became apparent that the nut embedded into the dish (and used to attach the dish to the mount) is a weak point of the entire mount - it is already loose which results in the dish wobble even when the nut is fully tight. To prevent this I used a nylon washer from the original parts set. I increased the washer's internal diameter to ensure it exerts the pressure on the dish and not on the nut.

Burn Notice Review: Family Tiesby Jim Garner at . Comments
As the episodes have been doing recently, we picked pretty close to where we left off. Which means we had the return of Calvin Schmidt, who was even more whiny this week (if it's possible) than he was last week.
Speaking of whining (my own this time), I officially hate Olivia Riley, and the reason I hate her is that she is as good as Michael is but doesn't seem to have his moral compass. Don't get me wrong, I know she isn't doing anything illegal, but it seems no matter what Madeline did, she kept destroying her "Best Laid Plans."
Which led to Michael inviting her to go with them on the run to Budapest, or Mumbai, or some other place that's not Miami (yes, I know it was Buenos Aries), which made for an interesting counter point to events with Elsa and Sam.
First you had Sam leaving Elsa crying in a parking lot. Thankfully Sam went to see Elsa and they were ok. Actually, more than ok, as she said that Sam needed to not abandon his best friend. Again, there was still no mention of her coming with sadly. I'm really rooting for Sam and Elsa, they are so cute together and Sam is clearly in love with the woman.
Then you had Madeline, who I will freely admit was in a bigger pickle, but no other options were discussed before inviting her along. At least it's warm in Buenos Aires, so she won't be disappointed. Of course, a careful observer might notice that Michael is still not out of Miami.
Then again, we still have one more week before the season finale; there could be every chance that Sam asks Elsa to join them before they leave after seeing Madeline coming along.
So, anyone want to take a guess on what the season finale is going to involve in two weeks?
Here is my guess: The whole gang is going to escape by the skin of their teeth right at the end of the episode with Riley just close enough behind to watch as their boat, plane, dog-sled, (whatever) pulls away, leaving her fuming and us planning.
What do you think? Am I on to something? How do you think the finale is going to shake out?
Jim G. is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: Burn Notice, Reviews
This new storyline stinks. I started watching Burn for the episode "helping the underdog" storylines but this government conspiracy stuff is just getting boring. I will be done with this show soon if they don't wrap this up quick!
My guess is that nobody is leaving Miami. Anyone remember how Mike's plan to leave for Cuba at the end of S2 turned on a dime just before he went swimming? Or how Fi's plans to return to Ireland worked out? No no the Miami landscape with its bikini beauties are as much part of the show as Magnum's Ferrari was to his show. And Barry now needs help because of Mike. Somebody on the team will contact Riley and the whole gang will wind up working as CIA assets for S7. Or not. BTW Jim-- my prediction regarding Raines being a traitor wasn't necessary wrong; I just guessed the storyline prematurely. Think Card instead of Raines.
I will go along with your assessment of what will happen BUT instead of them actually getting away, I think it will be them ABOUT to get away with Riley right on their tail and we won't see them getting away.....so that this can be wrapped up in the first few episodes of next season. It's obvious our gang WILL find away to make this right. They will find what they need to prove Card was the evil doer and tried to off them all. What will be interesting is to see where they go from this........
I think Sam going to trun himself in and stay with his G/F which led to Michael and the rest of the crew having to leave to different part of the country.

Cricket's world Test championship will not begin until 2017, International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat announced on Monday. "I am afraid that is no longer going to happen in 2013," he told reporters at the Pakistan v Sri Lanka one-day international in Dubai. "At the last (ICC) board meeting we decided the first opportunity to play the Test championship is 2017. I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner but it is a reality of the commitments we have already got through to 2015. "We attempted to switch the (scheduled one-day) Champions Trophy to become a Test championship but that is not going to be possible." Those commitments include a contract with broadcaster ESPN STAR Sports through to the end of the one-day World Cup in 2015, as well as contracts with sponsors. When those contracts were agreed, they were based on a one-day cricket event taking place in 2013. That will now be the Champions Trophy. Testing times The announcement is a blow to Test cricket's brand, which is already struggling to draw crowds and achieve a place within many countries' schedules in the face of the new popularity of Twenty20 cricket. Broadcasters and sponsors see more potential for recouping the money spent on their ICC contracts through a globallimited-overs tournament rather than a series of five-day matches with the game's biggest revenue-generator, India, notguaranteed to qualify for what was to be a four-team Test tournament. "We attempted to form the world Test championship which I think would have been a very good context in ensuring theprimacy of Test cricket but again we will have to wait for 2017 to see that as a reality," added Mr Lorgat. The world Test rankings do exist with England top after deposing India with a 4-0 series triumph earlier this year. Holding a "World Cup" of Test cricket has never been possible because the length of five-day games have made itdifficult to organise.

SHARE your thoughts on proposals to reduce gun violence
Finding a balance
In Louisiana and many places across the country, hunting, target shooting and gun collecting are time-honored sports, part of our culture and popular hobbies.
My record for the Second Amendment is strong. Unfortunately, last month's tragedy in Newtown, Conn., has become all too familiar. Even some of the most respected law enforcement leaders in our country are calling for commonsense reforms because of this terrible violence in our communities.
We must find a way to balance our Second Amendment rights with the challenges of mental illness, criminal behavior and the safety of our schools and communities. And we must also enforce the rules already on the books. The safety of our children, our communities and our nation depend on it.
Listening to Louisianians
As our country begins this conversation on how to end gun violence in the United States, I will be listening to Louisianians on both sides of this debate and remain engaged throughout.
There are several ways you can share your thoughts with me:

Gear Question
How would these work with womens size 9...
Member since
How would these work with womens size 9 thirtytwo prions and burton emeralds? I was thinking about getting the smalls.
Member since
they may work okay, but I would highly recommend sticking with a woman's binding. The highbacks on women's bindings tend to be lower and wider, that is because a woman's calf muscle tends to be wider, and come lower on the leg. the opposite for a man. Just something to think about
Christian DeHaas
Member since
They have womens contrabands. They are called Bandita contrabands and they are the same basic design, but as Technomis said, they are made to fit women. This will help a lot more for matching binding and boot sizes together also.

-Re: HBase - Secondary Index
Hi All
Thanks for the look and your concerns and comments..
@Jon Yes the consistency is maintained now. As the put to both the tables
in the same RS this was comparably easy job..More granular details on how
this is being done , I can share in later mails.
Yes as per Jon when the cluster is really big with 100s of RSs, for the
scan it need to visit every region in RSs. But may be from some regions no
data with the condition present and the scan will end immediately.. We
were also thinking about ways to add some custom blooms so that a special
bloom on the index region can tell whether a column value is present in
that region or not. Didn't try with this and the perf comparison.. Now we
are in the process of profiling and fine tuning.. What we felt is that
the per region indexing would be still better than the full table scan..
Also one main reason for not doing the client based approach where a global
ordered indexing will be there, is the put performance.. In the past when
we have done a fully client based solution ( something like Lily) the put
performance was not meeting our goal as one put was potentially making many
puts.. In our customer case some tables having upto 5 indices...
@Ted, at production level it is yet to get used.. The apps using the
indexing is under the way now...
Good to hear from all so that we can also get more scenarios and concerns
and opinions from experts..:)

Potato Gun Distances and Muzzle Velocities
Spud Guns and Ball Launchers: How Far and How Fast?
It's easy to find information on how to build, fuel, paint, and fire a spud gun. Not many people talk much about the kind of performance you can get out of one of these babies, however. They're more powerful than you might think, and their performance, if built right, will astound you.
Potato Cannon Significant Factor#1
Barrel Length. Say it five times. One of the most significant factors affecting muzzle velocity is barrel length. The barrel must be long enough so that the combustion fully occurs inside the barrel and the spud is propelled faster as a result. With the barrel short, combustion is still occurring – but this time – outside the barrel. This usually results in a flame or whoosh, and is useless because the spud has already left the building.
Potato Cannon Significant Factor #2
Fuel. Some fuels are more combustible and powerful than others. Propane is a hotter burn than hairspray (We should hope so!), and at the end of the day, something like propane or butane will launch a spud further than a hair product.
Ball Launchers: let's Talk Real World
Many spud gunners have taken the time to measure muzzle velocities and ranges and there is data out there. Here is a sampling of it:
#1 PVC Spud Gun, powered by Hairspray, and with Lantern Flint ignition: Up to 246 feet per second, range 150 yards.
#2 PVC Spud Gun, powered by propane, and with stun gun ignition: Up to 300 feet per second, range 250 yards.
#3 PVC Spud gun, Pneumatic (compressed air): Up to 500 feet per second, range 755 yards
As you can see from this data sampling, spud guns are extremely powerful and even the hairspray powered potato cannon is capable of being lethal. The ranges are quite impressive as well, and something to keep in mind if you are thinking of shooting ammunition that is retrievable like PVC torpedoes or balls – even with the lightest spud gun you'll be doing lots of walking!
As a final note keep in mind safety when thinking of numbers like these. Spuds passing through ½" plywood from short ranges are a typical occurrence with high power cannons. Your skin is more easily pierced than ½" plywood, so keep that in mind.
Range wise, see how far these projectiles go? Know what's beyond your target when you shoot and don't shoot over hills or where you can't see. Finally, buy our plans and ebook for a cool combination on how to get the biggest bang out of your spud gun or orange gun.

- Details & Specs
Strato Fighter Stilleto Knife from Dark Ops®. A full - size folder built to the durability requirements of full - on, Spec - Ops combat.
If you need a utility folder, this is not the knife for you. The Strato Fighter features Dark Op's proprietary RaptorLok, a self cleansing double talon locking system that uses the entire length of the knife to support the opened blade.
Unlike modern unproven and complicated locking systems, the basic principles of this design have been tested for over fifty years. Additionally, Dark Ops' secondary CrisisCross cross-bolt locking system prevents the knife from being closed while open, while the pommel end of the knife offers an integrated emergency window breaker and paracord safety tethering hole. But that's not it...... check out the rest of these impressive details:
- Scales are made of non-porous T6160 aircraft grade hardened aluminum
- Carved into the sides of the scales are lateral control grooves that provide indexing points in darkness as well as additional control without increasing the width of the handle
- Deep finger grooves orient the knife in the hand and add a third more grip area
- Quartz impregnated inserts provide an even better grip in extreme circumstances and are replaceable
- CTV2 Blade Steel with black Titanium CarboNitride vacuum deposited finish
- A full quarter inch thick, it is one of the heaviest production blades in existence today
- 100% made in America!
- Total Length: 10 1/ 2 "
- Blade Length: 4 1 / 2 "
- Weight: 9 ozs.
