Drowning in denial
- February 28th, 2013
I think I'm in deep denial …as reader Mark Bour managed to hint at when he questioned why I didn't add a tire kit to my list of motorcycle "priority" items.
(Thanks Bour, for highlighting yet another one of my failings.)
Tire problems were probably #2 on the list of things that went wrong back in the day. This required that you carry tire irons, tubes, valve cores, a patch kit, and a pump. While this stuff took up space, the actual repair was relatively easy as getting to the wheel was a cinch, and tubeless tires with drop-center rims had yet to be fitted to motorcycles.
Today? Well, on the upside we have much improved rubber circling our rims. It offers high-mileage, great wear, and is much more puncture-resistant. Where flat tires were once the rule, they are now the exception. Additionally, if you do get that rare flat, the improvements in tire bead and rim design offer a great margin of safety in that it is unlikely the tire will come off the rim.
My last puncture was four years ago aboard a Buell Ulysses. I was transitioning from one freeway to another on a big sweeping ramp. Mid-turn the Big U stepped out a foot or so, and fed that distinct butt squirm up through the chassis. No drama, and I pulled off at the next off-ramp. …and pulled out my cell phone. In the past I'd be picking gravel out of my butt, at least.
The larger majority of today's bikes run tubeless, with what remains being, well, tubed. Generally, pure street motorcycles run tubeless, while tubes are mostly used with off-road, dual sport, and adventure motorcycles. Tubeless tires are superior in most every application. They offer less unsprung weight as they don't carry around a tube, run cooler as there's no inner friction between tire and tube, and are significantly easier to repair. Another important point is that a punctured tubeless tire will usually lose air more slowly than will a punctured tube, thus giving you more warning.
So, why don't all motorcycles use tubeless tires? With one notable exception tubeless tires must be used with cast, rather than wire wheels because the spoke holes on the wire wheels leak air. The exception is certain models of BMW's GS line-up. They use a unique wire wheel design than can use tubeless tires. This is a very expensive wheel that –I'm told—is frustratingly difficult to true once it's out of whack (and all wire wheels eventually get there). And, yes, you can seal standard wire wheels, but it's tricky and you'd better know what you're doing.
OK, easy solution, fit cast wheels to all motorcycles and be done with the silly tubes. Right? This won't work for two reasons. First, a cast wheel cannot take the banging about that the wheels on an off-road, dual sport or adventure bike are subjected to. Cast wheels are very strong, but far less malleable than a steel or aluminum rim. Yes, you can bend a cast wheel, but they will fracture, and then break. Don't worry about your street rims, they are more than strong enough to handle the rigors of the pavement. However, banging into things on the trail, jumping logs, and throwing your bike about in the dirt (a.k.a. falling down) can push cast wheels beyond their design limits.
The second reason for not using cast wheels off-road is less well-known; wire wheels actually provide a bit of flex. This flexing aids the motorcycle's suspension, and gives you a smoother ride. Back in the 70's Rokon had a fair amount of success with a 340cc Sachs-motored enduro motorcycle with cast wheels, but that was a dead end for both cast wheels and Rokon.
All right, enough digression, let's get back to the tool kit. If you ride with tubeless tires, what you need carry is fairly simple as you only have two tasks; 1) Plug the leak, 2) Refill the tire. Probably the most popular of the plug kits is the "Stop and Go". I've used this kit and the plug part of it works well. It also includes four CO2 cartridges that are to be used to refill the tire. More correctly, to partially refill the tire. If you want to bring the tire up to full pressure you need eight to ten of the cartridges, at least. The four, however, will generally inflate the tire enough for you to limp home, or to some place that can properly repair your tire. What that means is replacing the tire. Do not ride an extended period, or at higher speeds, on a plugged tire. Also, I think patching the inside of a tubeless tire falls into the Bad Idea category.
My Triumph Tiger 800XC has tube tires. I'm not happy about that, but if I wanted the advantages that the larger front wheel offers, that was my only option. And what do I carry as a tire kit? Nothing. Like I said, I'm in denial …or was. Now that I've been exposed, I need to go back to carrying a kit.
As much as motorcycles have advanced, a proper tire kit isn't much different from what was carried years ago; tire irons, tubes, valve cores, a patch kit, and a pump. What is different is the quality and functionality of the tools. In particular, the tire irons and the pump. At one time the irons could pull duty as boat anchors. The were indeed made from iron and were heavy. Now we have, for example, the very trick Bead Pro tire tool, weighing all of nine ounces. At $80 they aren't cheap, but they work as advertised. For a pump, I've happily used the Mini Compressor from Aerostich.
Ok there's your tire kit. Happy now Bour?
You are correct, tire issues are rare (I've had one the entire time I've been riding), but it's nice to be able to be up and going in 20 minutes or so as opposed to waiting for help, especially when you're out west in the middle of nowhere.
Luckily, all of this plus a roll of duct tape, the factory tool kit, a bungee net and my GPS case all fit snuggly under the seat of my Sprint GT, so I always have it with me even if I leave the bags at home.
Tom Collier, DON'T use the aerosol flat fix. First, it seldom works, and second, it's corrosive and will ruin the finish on rims, and make spoke nipples impossible to adjust. The material is also heavy and you don't want to add to un-sprung weight.
One got me stuck at Sunset State Beach in Watsonville. Close to home now, but several hours from home a the time, in 1990, I think. I hitched a ride to town and came back with a crate, which I wrestled my rigid shovelhead onto by myself. Good times. I think I still don't carry any tire repair stuff on the bike, though it's now a swingarm and has tubeless tires. I'm not even sure I'd know what to do, but like Tom, I'm rarely far from home at this point.
I always carry a length of rope. By placing the motorcycle close to a tree, pole, or other standing object, I can get the offending wheel off the ground by balancing on the good wheel and the side stand, then tying it off to the tree. The heavier the motorcycle, the harder it is to do. I've never tried it with a Gold Wing ...and don't want to.

The lives of the millions who died in the Holocaust were remembered at a special memorial service in Valentines Park, Ilford today.
Schoolchildren from across the borough joined politicians and religious leaders as they listened to a speech by Holocaust survivor Bob Obuchowski.
Readings and prayers were said at the ceremony which commemorates and honours the millions who died in the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis as well as the victims of genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Wreaths were laid in the memorial garden and students concluded the ceremony with a reading of the Statement of Commitment, a series of pledges that remind us to remember the holocaust and all other genocides.

FISH RIVER, Ala. (WALA) – On Monday, July 6, the Fish River is going to get a much needed makeover.
Alabama Marine Police and Alabama Emergency Management officials will be cleaning debris that washed into the river during the historic rain and flooding in April.
Frances Rigsby, a long time resident of Fish River, told FOX10 it's an effort that's going to take officials a long time.
Here's what she had to say about their endeavor to clean all the chairs, tables, boards, and other debris out of the river's bottom.
"Good luck," she said, "There is so much out there and they would have to have one very large net and be able to scoop up this thing."
Rigsby lost some fifteen lawn chairs, a picnic table, a tiki bar, and other miscellaneous items from her yard when the storms created one of the largest floods the area has seen some two months ago. Her neighbor's shed was uprooted completely, and drifted more than a mile down stream during the storm.
If that's just the debris for one home, think of the debris spread into the river by all of the other houses in the Fish River community.
Until officials can get all that debris cleaned out of the water, they warn boaters and swimmers to be wary of foreign objects that could be hazardous.
Debris removal will also take place in the Magnolia River and Weeks Bay, starting Monday morning.

Johnny Depp says he can't wait to revive his pirate character for the sequel to The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003).
Depp stole the film as swashbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow, a role he based on Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
He said: "I went through a decompression period after the first film. If you're really connected with a character, you always do to some degree. You miss the guy. You miss being that person. The only thing that was in the back of my mind was the hope that there would be a sequel some day, so that I could meet him again."
There's some sites with Oscar's pictures: Film Magic, Wire Image, IML Images, Yahoo! and IMDB.

PdfTrick 1.0
Grab images out of PDFs
PdfTrick is a simple utility that comes in handy in situations when you need to grab images inside PDF documents and save them to your computer. Furthermore, it features selective extraction, which means you get to choose which pictures to save and which to skip.
The application is capable of scanning a PDF document and finding all the containing graphics, displaying thumbs for each, so that you can identify the images you want much easier.
Simple usage and high processing speed
It can handle multiple PDF files at once, showing a small preview of each in the left pane of its main window. Adding new documents to the list is done either using the dedicated option in the 'File' menu or by simply dragging and dropping files within PdfTrick's interface.
Once the desired PDF file is loaded, you must select the pictures you want PdfTrick to extract by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail. A second click unselects an image, but you can also clear the selection and start over.
Pictures are saved to a user-defined location in the original format, which can be JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, JPG2000 and so on. Unfortunately, there is no option to let you choose the image format you want.
An image extraction tool for PDF documents
PdfTrick successfully fulfills a simple mission, namely to provide a simple way to extract one or more images from within PDF documents. It offers you control over the content to extract and can process multiple PDFs in one go, but it lacks options related to the output type and quality.

Tangent Online Seeking Additional Reviewers
November 25, 2014--
Due to the debut of several new professionally-paying short fiction markets and the recent influx of science fiction, fantasy (and horror) original anthologies coming its way, Tangent Online is seeking to expand its review staff by a minimum of five reviewers. Tangent Online is considered a fanzine and is not a paying market; reviewers give of their time, energy, and expertise for love of genre, and to promote the often overlooked short story field.
Applicants must have English as a first language or be able to exhibit an equivalent knowledge of English if not their first language. A knowledge of the science fiction and fantasy genres is a must. Review experience is strongly recommended, but will work with the right person if the required level of experience is lacking.

Does anyone know of a way i can run a script to determine if a processor in a pc is x64 capable?

Does anyone know of a way i can run a script to determine if a processor in a pc is x64 capable?
All the ones ive found report as being x86 even when cpuz reports them as x64 as does pxe booting it will show x64 boot images
language agnostic - How can I discover whether my CPU is 32 or 64 bits? - Stack Overflow
Am not sure which ones you have tried already but this is the one I have found, easy enough to adjust the script above to make it message box or prompt you where the comments are ieCode:
Const PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_X86 = 0
Const PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA64 = 6
Const PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_X64 = 9
strComputer = "."
Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessors = oWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor")
For Each oProcessor In colProcessors
Select Case oProcessor.Architecture
Case PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_X86
' 32-bit
msgbox "The Processor on this machine is : x86 / 32 bit capable"
Case PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_X64, PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA64
' 64-bit
msgbox "The Processor on this machine is : x64 / 64 bit capable"
Case Else
' other
msgbox "An error has occured"
End Select
' 64 bit ( the apostrophe is used to comment out a line in vbscript ) , so replace that with either a
wscript.echo "Message to Display"
msgbox "Message to Display"
Edit : There were other scripts I found that used the Operating System Class in vbscript etc but not sure when you are running this etc.
Are you wanting to check the CPU ref 32 or 64 bit or you want to check the currently installed OS to see if it is 32 or 64 bit ?
Every PC that runs Windows will be x86 because thats the instruction set a PC uses, you want to see if a PC is x86-32 or x86-64.
Now if you ran the same test on a Windows RT tablet you would find its ARM-32...
Any PC which is 10 years old or newer should support 64Bit instructions as a general guide. Since 2004 ish Pentium 4 processors or later included 64Bit instructions.
grep lm /proc/cpuinfo
AMD processors since A64 and Intel mainstream since Prescott F/Core 2 have supported x86-64 (the original Core series do not, older Atom stuff doesn't).
@mac_shinobi that looks very similar if not identicalto a script id tried just returns x86 even though its an x64 cpu (unless the pcs is running an x64 os)
For me it prompted x64 and my pc is using a 32 bit os
Found this. Would this be an option - you can edit the bat file so it creates the report only and if you want it emailed to you then that's a brucey bonus :)

Matadors= amazing
Member since
I got these matadors not to long ago, these things are nice and small but fit over my ears so comfy that I am able to board all day! And did you see the color! They look just like the picture, I've gotten asked a number of times where I got these... Best headphone investment by far!!!
Member since
These headphones are dope! The over the ear set up without being super heavy is sick. The sound quality is amazing! Plus...they work with my I-phone...no more taking my gloves off to answer the phone or wearing a lame bluetooth for me! Also, they fold up for travel...so I can just toss them in my backpack and not worry about crushing them!

During a recent interview with the Calgary Herald, Perry seemed unsure he'd have a job with Tyler's new gig. "He's signed a contract that's taking him out of the music business for up to seven months of the year — that kind of throws a wrench into things," the Aerosmith guitarist said.

Jason Segel: Will Kiss Dudes for Laughs
For his new bromantic comedy I Love You, Man, star Paul Rudd attempts to find a Prince of a best friend by kissing quite a few frogs.
In one such scene, Rudd goes on a man-date only to be unexpectedly smooched by his companion. Too bad his costar Jason Segal wasn't given the scene, he's old pro and puckering up to dudes.
Segal tells New York Magazine that at the age of 12, when Saturday Night Live aired it's first man-on-man kiss, a fellow classmate offered to show him how it was done.
"I said, 'Yeah, sure. I would love that; I love comedy.' ...And then he just kissed me. There was no trick, it was just a proper kiss," said Segal.
Ever the apt pupil, we're sure Jason enjoyes repeating the lesson with others.

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Copper fell for the third straight session after U.S. reports showed unexpected declines in consumer confidence and business this month, damping the outlook for metal demand.
The Conference Board's confidence index decreased to 61.1, lower than the most pessimistic projection of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The Institute for Supply Management- Chicago Inc. said that its business barometer dropped as orders slowed. Analysts projected an increase. Earlier, copper rose as much as 1.3 percent on signs of progress on the Greek debt crisis.
"Signs that the U.S. may be starting to slow are taking some of the silver lining out of the news coming from Europe," Dennis Cajigas, a senior market strategist at Zaner Group in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
Copper futures for March delivery fell 1 percent to settle at $3.79 a pound at 1:26 p.m. on the Comex in New York. The metal dropped 1.9 percent in the previous two sessions.
This month, the price jumped 10 percent, the biggest January gain since 2003. Inventories monitored by the London Metal Exchange have dropped to the lowest since September 2009, while the Federal Reserve's pledge to keep its benchmark U.S. interest rate close to zero percent until at least late 2014 bolstered commodities.
On the LME today, copper for delivery in three months fell 1.3 percent to $8,320 a metric ton ($3.77 a pound).
Nickel, aluminum, zinc and lead fell in London. Tin gained.
This month, an index of the six industrial metals jumped 11 percent, the biggest January gain since 2006.
Tin surged 27 percent in January, a record monthly increase.

Whitey Bulger defends himself in letter from prison, talks of love
In a letter purportedly written by Bulger from prison to someone named Eric Morrison and posted on Radar Online, Bulger in cursive handwriting defends himself and says he's getting together information for an appeal.
Bulger was found guilty of murder and other counts in August after being captured in Santa Monica in 2011 after 16 years on the run.
Bulger says in the letter that twice in life he offered himself up so his girlfriends could go free. When he was captured, he says, he offered to plead guilty if authorities would let girlfriend and fellow fugitive Catherine Greig go. Authorities declined and she was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2012.
Bulger says he had agreed to plead guilty when captured for a bank robbery in the 1950s, if authorities let his girlfriend at the time go free.
"She was the best thing that happened to me — over 16 years on the run were happiest years of my life — memories sustain me — I expect the worst is yet to come," he writes, about Greig.
Flemmi, Bulger's right-hand man, testified against Bulger at trial. Connolly, the FBI agent who worked closely with Bulger, is serving time in a Florida prison for leaking information that led to murders. Bulger says Flemmi was giving information to the FBI while he was still in prison in 1960, and that Connolly and Flemmi conspired against him.
One of the most gruesome parts of Bulger's trial involved the story of the murder of Debra Hussey, Flemmi's stepdaughter and lover, who was allegedly using drugs and carelessly talking about Bulger, according to Flemmi. Bulger strangled her and then had Flemmi pull out her teeth.

Raphael's "La Velata" is out of the box
Four men with electric drills went to work on the giant, blue crate, carefully removing the lid and several layers of packing, before putting on their art-handling gloves and painstakingly extracting what was once the most famous work of art in the world.
Moments ago, Raphael's "La Donna Velata," who weighs 65 pounds with her frame on, was taken from the crate at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
"I think I heard someone say the word 'verklempt'" said Laurie Winters, the director of exhibitions at the Milwaukee Art Museum. »Read Full Blog Post

Soldiers Stop Oshiomhole, Amaechi from Venturing into Ekiti
•Rivers governor drives to Lagos from Ondo, military denies detaining him •APC, Atiku, Tinubu protest as PDP applauds move •IG deploys AIG, 4 CPs for tomorrow's election
Our Correspondents
The federal government displayed its fangs Thursday when in a commando-style operation, soldiers and other security agencies of the federal government prevented Governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo) and Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers) from travelling to Ekiti State.
Amaechi, who had landed in Akure, the Ondo State capital, in a private airplane, had proceeded by road to Ado-Akiti, the capital of Ekiti State, but was stopped and prevented from entering the state at Iju, a border town in Ondo.
After waiting at the border town without being granted permission to enter Ekiti, Amaechi's motorcade was compelled to depart Ondo State for Lagos yesterday by road, as his aircraft was prevented from flying out of Akure.
In the case of Oshiomhole, his chartered helicopter was grounded at Benin Airport, while the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, whom the All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed was also prevented from departing from the Aminu Kano International Airport for Akure, was never even scheduled to travel.
According to an online news website, Premium Times, at the time APC was issuing a statement that included Kwankwaso as one of its governor's that had been refused entry into Ekiti, the Kano State governor's spokesman, Baba Dantiye, had already informed the website that his principal had no intention of travelling yesterday.
Dantiye said Kwankwaso was at an event in Kano State and had no plans of travelling to Ekiti State.
"The governor is in Kano here; he did not have plans of going to Akure, none that I know of," Dantiye said.
Perhaps realising that his party had released a statement to the contrary, Dantiye called the news medium back to say he was at an event with the governor and would not "want to confirm or deny" the APC's claim.
Amaechi and Oshimhole were ostensibly heading to Ekiti to attend the rally of the APC today before the governorship election scheduled for tomorrow.
The governors were expected to stay back in Ekiti after the rally to support their colleague, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who is seeking re-election for a second term in office.
Expectedly, the restriction of the governors' movement drew the condemnation of APC and chieftains of the party, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Senator Bola Tinubu, who warned the federal government against executive impunity and turning the country into a police state.
But the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) applauded the decision to ground the helicopter that was to be used by Oshiomhole to travel to Ekiti, stating that the governor was in the habit of wasting the state's resources in leasing aircraft to travel for "jamborees instead of developing his state".
The military also denied that it ambushed and detained Amaechi at the Ondo-Ekiti boundary to prevent him from entering Ekiti State for the rally.
This is just as the Inspector General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar, yesterday said the police had deployed an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and four police commissioners in Ekiti to supervise security operations for tomorrow's governorship election in the state.
Amaechi Held in Ondo State
However, the Rivers State Government, in a statement yesterday, disputed the military's denial, stating that Amaechi was held hostage by soldiers and other federal government security agents at Iju, Ondo State.
The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, said Amaechi had left Port Harcourt yesterday morning to join his Ekiti State counterpart in the mega rally before tomorrow's election in Ekiti State.
She said in the statement that before Amaechi departed Ondo for Lagos by road: "The Rivers State Government is concerned about the safety of Governor Amaechi who is right now being held hostage in a commando-style by soldiers and federal government security agents in Iju, Ondo state.
"Governor Amaechi as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) and as an All Progressives Congress (APC) governor and chieftain of the party had left Port Harcourt this morning for Ekiti State where he was to join his brother governor in his last mega rally before the elections.
"Governor Amaechi was ambushed and refused entry into Ekiti by military personnel acting on orders from above. He made to turn back and return to Akure where his chartered aircraft was parked but was chased by armed soldiers and security personnel in Otutu, Ondo State. According to the captain who led the operation, he had orders not to allow the governor entry or exit."
Semenitari also said the chartered aircraft that conveyed Amaechi to Akure Airport had been grounded.
"In the meantime, the chartered aircraft that conveyed the governor has been grounded while the Ministers of Defence, Police Affairs and Minister of State for Defence have landed at the Akure airport," she said.
She said the Rivers State government was especially worried that the federal government and President Goodluck Jonathan had singled out Amaechi for harassment and attack.
Her words: "While we hold the person and Office of the President in utmost regard, we believe that it is unacceptable that the presidency would disrespect the person and office of an elected governor of a federating unit and consistently hound him.
"The Rivers State Government is all the more worried as the Ondo saga is coming on the heels of a plot by six PDP lawmakers this morning to carry out a kangaroo impeachment of the duly elected governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, first at Krisdera Hotels and later Bauchi Street, Port Harcourt.
"Ordinarily, such banality should be ignored as it is neither legal nor constitutional. However, in the light of the recent attempts to hoist a Chief Judge on Rivers people through the back door and the attendant rumours that the reason for that desperate act was to make it easier for the PDP to actualise its sinister dream of ousting Governor Amaechi before May 29, 2015, we believe that it has become necessary to draw the attention of Rivers people, Nigerians and the international community to the situation in Rivers State."
Semenitari noted that the state chapter of the PDP had Wednesday accused Amaechi of importing terrorists into the state and the region and had demanded that the governor be put under surveillance.
She stated: "The state government wouldn't have dignified the PDP's display of ignorance with a response but for the fact that these accusations coupled with today's actions are ominous signs of how far the PDP is willing to go in its quest to cling onto power by all means.
"The antecedents of impunity on the part of the leadership of the PDP are instructive and the party's desperation to harm and stop anyone they perceive as a major threat to their crumbling electoral fortunes next year is no longer news.
"The detention attempt and incident at the Kano International Airport last week are still fresh in the minds of Nigerians. Also, the call to put Governor Amaechi under surveillance (or is it house arrest?) on the same day that PDP started efforts to unseat the Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, is enough indication of the script already written by a jittery PDP."
Also, the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Rivers State yesteday threatened to sue the federal government over what it described as the continued harassment of Amaechi.
Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on the news of the "detention" of Amaechi by soldiers in Ondo State, Chairman of the Rivers State chapter of ALGON, Mr. Oji Ngorfa, said members of the association were shocked and miffed at the prevention of Amaechi from entering Ekiti State.
He stated that the governor, like any other citizen of Nigeria,

Cruella de Vil to Get the 'Maleficent' Treatment (Albeit With More Dead Puppies) in 'Cruella'In Development By Adam Bellotto on September 30, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Maleficent must be something truly special, because Disney has decided that the "classic Disney villain gets a live-action update" approach deserves multiple films. And the next antagonist to be given a starring role is none other than the puppy-stealing, fur-coat-obsessing Cruella de Vil. The Hollywood Reporter (who broke the news) have Aline Brosh McKenna on screenplay duties for Cruella. McKenna is fitting choice, as she already has some live-action Disney experience, having recently penned the script for Kenneth Branagh's upcoming Cinderella adaptation.
There's no word on what the story will entail, but if it's anything like Maleficent, we'll be getting all kinds of prequel-ish backstory on Cruella de Vil, and how she's not so bad despite having an uncontrollable urge to kill baby puppies and wear their skin. Perhaps she didn't start out that way. Maybe the film will follow a younger, more energetic Cruella who loves animals, and is mistakenly cursed with an unending hunger for sweet, innocent puppy-skin.
Cruella de Vil has, unlike Maleficent, had a recent live-action update, in the 101 and 102 Dalmations films that came out in the late '90s and early 2000s. So whomever is cast as the iconic villain will likely be compared endlessly to Glenn Close. It might benefit Disney to think outside the box somewhat in casting the role; with the whole "wearing clothing made out of skin" thing, Ted Levine might be an inspired choice.

Tornadoes - Annual 2009
NCDC transitioned to the nClimDiv dataset on Thursday, March 13, 2014. This was coincident with the release of the February 2014 monthly monitoring report. For details on this transition, please visit our public FTP site and our U.S. Climate Divisional Database site.
The 2009 tornado count at the end of December was 1,156. June was the most active month of the year with 268 confirmed tornado reports. This ranks 2009 as the 9th quietest month since 1990 and the 5th quietest month this decade. The only months to experience more tornadoes than the past 3-year average was April, June, July, and December.
The highest concentrations of tornado reports were clustered in the Southeast and into the Midwest. The Plains States and "Tornado-Alley" had a relatively calm tornado year relative to their historical records. 2009 was the busiest year of the decade for Louisiana and Alabama in terms of the number of tornadoes, with 82 and 103 tornadoes, respectively. Conversely, Texas and Kansas had their second calmest year of the decade with 108 and 87, tornadoes respectively. According to the SPC, November 2009 had only 4 preliminary tornado reports marking the calmest November since 1980, and the 3rd quietest (tied: 1950,1962,1969) since extensive records began in 1950. November, in the past, has been a fairly active month for parts of the southeastern United States.
The number of fatalities this year is down compared to the last four years, with 22 reported deaths. The number of killer tornadoes was also down for the year with only 10 fatal tornadoes. The deadliest single tornado for the year occurred on February 10th when an EF4 tornado caused 8 fatalities near Lone Grove, Oklahoma. This was the first February EF4 tornado for Oklahoma and was the deadliest February tornado in the state's history.
The largest outbreak for 2009 occurred on April 10th with 73 preliminary reports of tornadoes across the southeastern U.S., killing 2 people. Arkansas, Missourri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and Georgia all experienced killer tornadoes during 2009.

Romeo Crennel threatens his players with benchings for turnovers
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 10, 2012
Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel is sick and tired of his team leading the league in turnovers, and so he has a new rule: If you turn the ball over, youre benched.
I have to impart on them the importance of protecting the ball for this team, Crennel said, and sometimes to get that done, you basically have to threaten them. If you fumble it, Im going to take you out of the game. And they will get the message.
Crennel said the rule applies to interceptions, too, which puts quarterback Matt Cassel who has thrown 11 interceptions and fumbled eight times this season, losing seven of them on notice. But would it really be wise to bench Cassel for another turnover? After all, with Brady Quinn already ruled out of Mondays game with a concussion, benching Cassel would mean turning to Ricky Stanzi, who has never played in a regular-season game.
When asked whether he would really bench Cassel, Crennel said he would although he also gave himself some wiggle room.
Yes, you can make a change there, Crennel said, but the thing is, you always have to know exactly what happened on the play and why it happened. If a receiver tips the ball up in the air, is that on the receiver or is that on the quarterback? I have to make that determination, so Ill make the call. Ill sit the receiver or Ill sit the quarterback.
Crennel also said he wouldnt take the teams best offensive playmaker, running back Jamaal Charles, off the field for too long after a fumble.
Look, Jamaal Charles has fumbled the ball, Crennel said. So if he fumbles, and he stands over there with me for a little bit, then I put him back in, because hes the guy who runs for a touchdown. But I have to try to put an emphasis on it, so Im going to try to emphasize it and get them to understand the importance.
If the Chiefs players dont already understand the importance of not turning the ball over, threatening to briefly bench them probably wont work. But at this point, Crennel is desperate enough to try anything.

Invest in America Partners with Shop America (Monitor: June 7, 2010)
Invest in America's partnership with Shop America has officially begun, giving credit union members discounts of up to 15 percent on products from more than 1,200 online merchants at launch.
"Invest in America's suite of member-benefit programs continues to grow and encourage support for American-owned businesses," said CUcorp President David Adams. "Bringing different merchants together through Shop America creates the backbone of the whole Invest in America program."
Shop America is an online mall featuring American companies such as Apple, Target, Best Buy, Gap, Barnes & Noble, Macy's and Office Depot. The discounts range from 1 percent to 15 percent, and credit union members will be mailed a check when the accumulated cash back from all merchants is $10 or more. Access to the mall will be available through www.lovemycreditunion.org.
Credit union members will also be able to compare prices of specific items. Searching by product will bring up the prices from different merchants allowing the member to find discounts and the best possible deal. Each participating company will offer special member discounts available through Shop America.
"With the current state of our economy, this is a tremendous opportunity for credit unions and their members to save money on everyday purchases," says Rob Danielson, Incentive Networks VP of Business Development. "We are very excited to be working with CUcorp."
The mall will be run by Incentive Networks, a leader in merchant-funded loyalty programs in the U.S. and Europe. Incentive Networks will also provide credit union members access to their customer service center. The initial contract runs for three years.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.
