Major MAC problem
I've had a problem since I got the 413 and INF 2.75.
Almost all the maps in my list where showing blank Screenshots and, when opened, UT returns a "failed to launch URL" error or something like that. I thought first that it was because of the LARGE number of downloaded maps (and textures...). But I finaly decided to install UT (from scratch), THE 413 Patch and INF, and at first, everything seemed OK. but when scrolling through the map list, suddenly one of the maps "went missing" and it's screen shot was blank. Even more disturbing, right after that, allmost all maps that where originaly fine in the first scrowlldown became "blank" WTF!??!?! I'm really confused... especially now since I have been trying to fix the problem for at least 5 hours. grrrr Please help!!! ------------------ --------------- Geogob -------------- Don't let your brain get infiltrated! |

Re: Major MAC problem
Ahhhhhhh please help me!
The problem still occurs with ANY version of UT (400, 405b, 413) Until recently I used OS 8.5.1 and I upgraded to 8.6 at the beginning of the week... on the level I can play, UT is running MUCH faster now! It's incredible! And the rendering is now perfect... but I can't play about 90% of the maps! (only the first 5 or 6 I browse through). AHHH [This message has been edited by geogob (edited 05-03-2000).] |

Re: Major MAC problem
I've never heard of that problem before...
Have you tried the little update INF update that changes INF to a category? ------------------ On Macintosh Computers: Apple may not be perfect, but at least they knew the century would end! |

Re: Major MAC problem
As I said, I have the problem with every version of UT (400, 405b, 413) without any mod or mutator. And I also have the problem with any combination of UT adn INF (I tryed them all). In every cas the problem is there. No custom maps/textures/skin/sounds etc. where installed during the testing...
I think it's more a compatibility between my OS (not hardware because obviously UT woked fin on my previous OS) or the new ATI Drivers I installed (which certanly work better then the old ones!) It seems that I'm in a dead end... no more UT for A while!

Re: Major MAC problem
this is oddly familiar...
the truth is 4.13 is buggy for mac, it's screwed up, period. It might have corrupted preference files, but I'm not even sure it has preferences. ok I am being kicked out of my friends room, will write more in a bit |

Re: Major MAC problem
So I finaly mannaged to run UT correctly! seems it's a confilc between UT and Some system extentions!
I'm going to run, as soon as I get time, confilct catcher on this problem and I'm going to see if I can find the cause! as soon as I find the "bad" extention' I'll inform you so this won't append to you. BTW PC user don't pay attention... this is ONLY a mac related problem :\ Yeah, it's right! Even a mac can have some bugs lol just joking! it's a know fact that UT for mac is quite Unstable... ------------------ --------------- Geogob -------------- Don't let your brain get infiltrated! |

Everyone can be good, I imagine, if you level them enough and give them decent gear, but I'm mostly concerned about her children and whatnot. I haven't been using her, but I'm early enough and my team is powerful enough that I can plug her in. Seems like she can only marry the created avatar character and only support link with one other person I don't have yet. Seems super limited. I'm getting to the point where I need to figure out who my main character will marry and which children are the best or whatever.
Not super in to the actual character stories (I mean I am to a degree, but lack of Master Seals have prevented me from getting Lissa and Maribelle to the point where they can damage and heal, which makes support linking them with the avatar character tough since he rarely take damage), but mostly I've been pairing people with those who cover weaknesses or help add range to attacks. So Vaike I paired with Miriel, Virion with Sully, Chrom with Sumia, and currently Lon'qu with the dark mage lady. My guy is a mage (well Mastered Tactician, but I mostly use tomes), but the only female melee characters I have are Panne (who I've been pairing with Donnel, along with the dragon girl since she can attack from range) and Anna. I guess there's Olivia as well, but she seems easily breakable and not all that strong. I just got her. I'm at B with Lissa, the dragon girl, Maribelle, Panne, and a couple of dudes, but have been hesitant to pull the trigger.
It seems, since she can attack and heal, that Anna is incredibly versatile, but realistically so is my main character. So does Anna get "Donnel good" if I level her up enough/advance her and is her child fantastic, or does the lack of support with anyone else ruin her? I know there are already "who did you marry threads" so I won't bother asking that, but I guess I need to decide pretty soon.
Do Panne and the dragon girl top off as well? Like they can't be Master sealed, and if I Secondary Seal them it looks like they can't use the dragonstone or the beaststones, which are pretty strong. Not sure if I should stop taking them in to battle because I feel like those are pretty strong weapons, but if they won't get EXP after hitting 20 it seems like it doesn't matter.

Warping Through Star Trek: The Next Generation's 25 Years With Ronald Moore
- |
- 6:00 am |
- Permalink
Digging Into Data, Paragon Android
Wired: Speaking of Brent Spiner's Data, he really stood out from beginning to end. Mostly because he, and not the other aliens and cultures of Star Trek: The Next Generation, was likely the closest any of the series' viewers were going to get to its benevolent futurism.
Moore: He was a great way to examine the nature, soul, emotion and logic of humanity. To have a character so close to us, but still puzzled by things that we consider so basic. It was just a wonderful character, and a great piece of casting. It's an example of great man and role, perfectly married.
Wired: It's quite impressive that the original series gave us Spock, and then The Next Generation gave us Data, who together lord over quite a bit of sci-fi influence. Do you have any favorite Data episodes?
Moore: I worked on two of them that I really liked. One was "Data's Day," whose concept I loved. A day in the life of the Enterprise, told through Data's eyes. I gave him a cat, and made him tap dance. I was really intrigued by the notion of what 24 hours on the Enterprise was like. I loved that episode.
Then I did one called "In Theory," which was when Data gets a girlfriend. The truth about both Spock and Data is that they have huge female fan bases with massive crushes who fantasize about what it would be like to be these characters' other halves. So we wanted to touch on that: What would happen to a woman that falls in love with Data on the Enterprise? Data would try to engage as best he could, but there might be limitations. I found "In Theory" to be a really interesting and bittersweet episode.
Wired: Speaking of interesting, I'm not sure what you're working on right now, but if you can talk about it I'd really like to know.
Moore: I don't have too much to tell you right now. I have a lot of irons in the fire, as they say, but nothing definitive. If I had something to say, I'd be happy to tell you!
Wired: I was interested in your reboot of the spy-fi Western The Wild Wild West. Or your detective Western Hangtown, but I wasn't totally sure if that particular one rode off into the sunset.
Moore: Yeah, ABC decided not to go with it. That was very frustrating. They made a strategic decision that they didn't want to do a Western, period. Because they said they loved the script and the characters, and said they bought three Westerns because they were so committed to it. But at some point, they just got cold feet and said they weren't going to do Westerns after all, which was really disappointing.
Wired: I read that you were working on other shows in the romance and fantasy genres, but there is something about Westerns. "A Fistful of Datas" is one of The Next Generation's coolest episodes. It's a genre that I don't think has been fully explored this century on television, although there have been some great merges like Firefly.
Moore: I completely agree. The Western is due for a renaissance. It's almost because it's not on television, and that it hasn't been done well in a while, that now is the time to do it.

As the storms rushed across Alabama last Wednesday, Allison Studdard, a student in the Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing, worked throughout the day with her preceptor in the Emergency Department of Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham. She saw firsthand the trauma of those who arrived at the hospital, and she was also touched by the physical and emotional strain on the medical staff. Allison wasn't scheduled to go back to the hospital on Thursday, but she sought our Mrs. Barbara Money, her faculty member for her preceptorship, to ask if she might return to Princeton the next day, if only to answer the telephone for the charge nurse.

Air Canada Centre
Attendance: 19,004
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Chris Bosh had team highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds, as the Toronto Raptors took a 110-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at Air Canada Centre.
Bosh re-took the NBA lead in double-doubles, recording his 29th for the Raptors to break a tie with Orlando's Dwight Howard. Andrea Bargnani scored 22 with six boards for Toronto, which has won two in a row and got a rare win over Dallas, which had won 11 of the previous 12 meetings.
"It was a big win for us, defending our home court," Bosh said. "We've got to start beating good teams, especially here. Winning the big games is the only way to move up in the standings."
Dirk Nowitzki had 19 points to pace the Mavericks, who have dropped three of four. Jason Terry added 18 points, while Jason Kidd had 12 points, nine assists and five rebounds in the loss.
"There was no smiling or jumping in this locker room," Terry said. "It was embarrassing. We wanted to get off to a good start on this [five-game] road trip, now we're behind. It sure looked like Toronto wanted it more than we did."
Dallas held a 23-20 lead after the first quarter, though Toronto went in front shortly into the second. Amir Johnson capped a six-point burst with a jumper for a 28-25 lead, and the game remained tight for the next several minutes.
But an eight-point Raptors run, which Bosh ended with five points, pushed the advantage to 43-33 with 3:45 to play. Toronto then scored nine of the final 11 points of the half to take a 54-41 lead into the break.
Dallas made nine of its 16 field goal attempts in the third quarter, but Toronto stayed ahead by shooting 11-of-21. Bargnani poured in 11 points in the frame to help keep the Raptors in front, as they were up 84-68 moving to the fourth.
Approaching the middle of the final quarter, the Raptors ran off eight points in a row to put the game away. Jose Calderon ended the run with a jumper to make it a 95-75 game, and Toronto's lead reached as many as 26 on the way to the win.

"Made the recipe and 130 degree oven is all wrong! After the time alloted my floating island was far from brown, kept adding increments of 5 minutes, raising the temp each time for a total of an extra 15 minutes, still not brown, but looked done. Tasted like the top of the lemon meringue pie but there was a large pool of sugar water beneath."
"Just like the stars state...perfect! Guess I could use a wee bit less butter for the final stage each time I make it.BUT, this is the fish that your remember in your best restaurants. I did add almonds to the final stage of browning the snapper and it was a wonderful thing!"
"My daughter made this for us on a recent visit..yum! Old fashioned buttery taste, not too sweet. Adding it to my file."
"When basa filet seemed to be featured in so many markets, I wanted to try it as it looked so fresh, and clean. Not a fan of catfish, even tho basa is in the same family, this is a far superior fish. The recipe was light, easy, I used hazelnuts. The only change I would suggest is making extra topping, about 1/2 more. I cooked 1.40 pounds and..."
"Fine marinade. What about the extra 2 T. of lemon juice?My 5.32 boneless lamb roast was way to rare after the allotted time as adjusted for the extra 1/3 lb. The roast actually cooked for almost two hours. This is with guests who like their lamb rare!"
"While the recipe wasn't quite clear, baked it 12 minutes, spread sauce on and broiled until it was light gold.Never a fan of halibut in the past, I made this for my hubby and it was terrific...now I will always look for halibut at my fish counter too!"
"Like other reviewers, the base is a wonderful start. We are cheese people and enjoy a more spicy rendition of macaroni and cheese.Perhaps using extra sharp cheddar would have given it more of a zing, and a bit more mustard powder.Will revisit the recipe."
"Wonderful recipe that my daughter prepared for a family get together! Like her recommendations, I reduced the evo and butter, and increased the garlic.My cooking time in the oven was about 10 minutes. This recipe is just super!"
"Have prepared Monkfish before and was not pleased. This recipe was excellent. Did halve the butter for both steps (trying to cut down, you know!) and it still worked beautifully.Thanks Barb!"

Dr Chris Arridge is a physicist studying the giant planets of our solar system (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and how they interact with the Sun and the rest of the Solar System.
He studied physics at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth and applied mathematics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge (at Darwin College) before studying for a doctorate in The Department of Physics at Imperial College London. He studied some of the first data to be returned from the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn and was awarded his PhD in 2007. From 2006 to 2009 he was a postdoctoral researcher at University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory based in the Surrey hills 13 miles from Guildford, followed by a Science and Technology Facilities Council Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Since October 2012 he has been a Royal Society University Research Fellow and proleptic lecturer.
Chris' work focuses on the space environments surrounding giant planets, also known as their magnetospheres. Although we think of space as a vacuum, the space surrounding the planets is filled with atoms, molecules, and charged particles some of which have come from the planets, their ring systems and moons, and the Sun. His recent work has involved trying to understand how our Sun's 11-year "Solar Cycle" affects the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, trying to understand the origin of Saturn's aurorae (also known as the northern lights) and auroral radio emissions, and examining how tiny charged ice grains move near Saturn's enigmatic moon Enceladus. He is not only involved in the Cassini mission to Saturn, but is also involved in developing missions such as the JUICE to Jupiter and its moon Ganymede, and in trying to get a spacecraft launched to Uranus. Chris' work is funded by the Royal Society, Science and Technology Facilities Council, the European Space Agency, and NASA.
Chris is active in public engagement and regularly speaks to a wide variety of audiences from schools to astronomical societies and astronomy festivals. He also works directly with young people, supervising summer projects for A-level students through the Nuffield Research Placements and CREST schemes, and also judging such projects at regional and national science fairs such as The Big Bang.
Chris lives near Brighton and enjoys dancing Rockabilly Jive, Lindy Hop and Balboa, reading, running, triathlons, playing and writing computer games, and cooking and eating very spicy food.

Sound Test
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
It was, as they wanted to concentrate on low noise and said that 71c is still way below the threshold of the card.

This cluster will make you want to yell "I scream for ice cream" just like you did when you were a little tot. These ice cream innovations will have your sweet tooth (or teeth) begging for more.
Amongst some devilishly delicious finds are some truly bizarre ones such as latex covered desserts and flavored ice cream like bacon and fish. I think I'll stick to my favorite cookie dough flavor.

Come this Valentine's Day, there's one song you definitely won't want to play for your honey: ''F**k It,'' a twisted take on the R&B breakup ballad by Staten Island singer Eamon. Currently the No. 1 single in the country, ''F**k It'' flip-flops between naive adolescent heartbreak and ridiculously incongruous venom. Is it a sexist rant or an ex-fueled lament? We asked the 20-year-old crooner to break it down.
EW Is ''F**k It'' based on a real experience?
EAMON Yeah, it's this girl I used to go with when I was 16...and she was doing these things behind my back.
EW Did you actually cuss her out like you do in the song?
EAMON Yeah, I did. I'm pretty crazy; it was probably a lot worse than that.
EW You call her a 'ho.' That's pretty harsh...
EAMON You think I went too far? I don't think so at all.... [She] goes behind my back and gives somebody [oral sex]?... If that's not a ho, I don't know what a ho is.
EW Did you ever think about calling the song ''Gosh Darn It'' or ''Fudge It''?
EAMON Never...the whole concept of the song is f -- - it, I don't give a f -- -, just f -- - it, meaning f -- - the relationship, f -- - what the people will think of me, just f -- - it, f -- - everything, ya know?

Hi everyone, I'm a relocated Californian and I miss my citrus trees SO much! I finally decided to order these 2 dwarf trees and pot them. THey're in the full sun on my patio now and seem to be doing well. They came with bare roots, so I bought cactus, palm and citrus potting soil since I read they need good drainage. I'm a little worried about how they'll do over the winter. I'll bring them in the house if we drop below 32 degrees, but is that necessary? Also, what/where should I get fertilizer for them? Should I fertilize now that it's August? I read that we should not fertilize after August 1st. Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome. I'm used to living in what used to be orange and lemon groves in Southern California. We just stick citrus trees in the ground and water once a week there and the fruit is delicious! This is quite different in Tennessee! |

Heidi, it's funny how the temps from Rancho Santa Margarita to Escondido and down to Coronado can be so similar to middle Tn - from Ojai to LA, not so much. The humidity and frost are the killers here! My best friend is in Lewisburg and he grows lemon, pineapple, orange and all kinds of stuff native to SoCal. I wish I could get him to grow avocado but he hates it. The trick is bringing them inside once the frost warning comes out. As always, everyone is welcome on our Facebook page Jeff |
IT has always been my understanding that lemons and oranges can handle temps into the mid 20's. I know of several citrus species grown in south Louisiana where hard freezes are not uncommon. |

Ethics of Cognition Project
Workshop: the Ethics of Self-Deception
Ryle Room, Faculty of Philosophy, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter
This paper develops a general characterisation of epistemic wrongs as forms of derogation before characterising specifically epistemic injustices as putative disqualifications of an interlocutor from the status of knower. The account is related to Williams's discussion of the generic epistemic virtues of Sincerity, Accuracy and the role of the third person in "steadying the mind". There is a constitutive connection between sociality and the individual epistemic vice of self-deception. The connection between this account and Williams's liberal political psychology is, in turn, explained via the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination.
April 30, 2014, 16:30 – 18:00 David Brink (San Diego) 'Eudaimonism and Cosmopolitan Concern'
Posted: March 23, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentProfessor of Philosophy, University of San Diego,
Director, Institute for Law and Philosophy University of San Diego School of Law
Location: Dante Building Room 5
This talk explores the adequacy of Sidgwick's contrast between the egocentrism of ancient ethics and the impartiality of modern ethics by evaluating the resources of eudaimonists, especially Aristotle and the Stoics, to defend a cosmopolitan conception of the common good. The adequacy of various eudaimonist defenses of the common good may depend on our conception of the common good. Adapting Broad's comparison of egoism, utilitarianism, and self-referential altruism, we might distinguish between the scope and weight of ethical concern. We might then distinguish ethical conceptions that are parochial with respect to both scope and weight, conceptions that are cosmopolitan with respect to both scope and weight, and mixed conceptions that combine universal scope and variable weight. Aristotle's eudaimonist justification of the common good appears doubly parochial. By contrast, the Stoics offer a eudaimonist defense of the common good that is purely cosmopolitan. But the Stoics have trouble providing a eudaimonist defense of a cosmopolitan conception of the common good. However, Aristotelian eudaimonism has resources to justify a mixed cosmopolitan conception of the common good that combines universal scope and variable weight. If Broad's reservations about Sidgwick's utilitarianism are correct, mixed cosmopolitanism may be cosmopolitanism enough.
April 9, 16:30 – 18:00 Christine Tiefensee (Bamberg) 'A Dilemma for Metaethical Inferentialists'
Posted: March 23, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentAbstract
It has recently been suggested that metaethical debate must be fundamentally re-framed. Instead of carving out metaethical differences in representational terms, appealing to notions such as truth, belief and representation, Matthew Chrisman in particular has argued that metaethics should be given an inferentialist footing. In this talk, I will cast doubt on Chrisman's proposal by confronting metaethical inferentialists with the following dilemma: Either, they stay true to inferentialism but cannot save the metaethical differences. Or they succeed in putting metaethical demarcation lines back into place, but now end up merely rehashing orthodox metaethical debates, rather than providing a novel approach to metaethics. I will conclude by considering what we can learn from this dilemma about the dialectic behind the development of inferentialist metaethics.
Wednesday, March 26th 2014, 16:30 – 18:00 Tom Bates, University of Leiden
Posted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment'Mixed versus Moderate Traits: On the Evaluative Status of Empirically Sound Character'
Location: CZ 118
In a recent pair of books Christian Miller has argued for an empirically robust theory of moral character, which he calls the 'Mixed Traits' view. These traits are mixed in the sense that they have a mixed evaluative valence, a rather novel idea which does not clearly match with a pre-theoretical view of character. In this paper I will argue that the challenge of squaring psychological findings about personality and behaviour with pre-theoretical ideas about moral character does not require such a radical account. The challenge of situationism can be met if we give consideration to the role of moderate character traits. I will show why moderate traits can meet the empirical challenge, and why this model is preferable to the mixed traits account.

Leonard Cohen At DrHGuy
As ongoing viewers know, DrHGuy is the quick-witted, energetic, happy go lucky younger sibling of the jocose but prolix, sometimes abstruse Heck of a Guy blog before you now.
DrHGuy posts typically comprise no more than an image and caption, a quotation, or a brief bit of prose. Many of these 893 entries (as of this morning) are photos of, quotations by, or prose about Leonard Cohen. Of those DrHGuy Leonard Cohen posts, two have proven most popular by a wide margin.
Is "most popular by a wide margin" significant? Well, consider this: that great photo of Leonard Cohen on Route 66 (New Mexico 1987)1 atop this post? That's the third most popular Leonard Cohen post at DrHGuy.
The Most Popular Leonard Cohen Photo: Leonard Cohen on train from Marseilles to Nice (1981)
This photo2 can be found at Leonard Cohen On Train.
The Most Popular Leonard Cohen Quotation: Leonard Cohen's Five Word Self-description
Q: Pick five words that describe yourself.
A: Oh, The Seven Deadly Sins.
This quote from "Q Questionnaire – Leonard Cohen" (September 1994 Q Magazine) can be found at Leonard Cohen's Response To "Pick five words that describe yourself"
Other Fine & Dandy Leonard Cohen Posts At DrHGuy
In addition to the shot shown above of a young Leonard Cohen demonstrating his smoke ring blowing skills, one can also check out a photo of the killer lineup of Elvis Costello, Roscoe Beck, T-Bone Burnett, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, & Richard Thompson appearing together at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica in the mid-1980s (from Roscoe Beck – Scrapbook).
Or consider this tres cool photo of Sharon Robinson from Standdart magazine.
There are also entries featuring advice from Leonard Cohen on bondage fantasies, the student passport of the 5'8″, hazel-eyed Leonard Cohen, and the advice the Leonard Cohen who created "Ten New Songs" would give to the Leonard Cohen who created "Song of Leonard Cohen," (besides "Move To L.A").
Putting Leonard Cohen In Context At DrHGuy
Leonard Cohen material is indeed very popular at DrHGuy. To put this phenomenon in context, however, the most frequently viewed DrHGuy post in any category is …
Exposing The Nads By Design, spotlighting Scrotie (pictured here), the mascot for the Rhode Island School of Design hockey team.3
The DrHGuy post with the second highest number of hits is this graphic of a fully tricked-out walker4 fashioned by Chris of Galway, Ireland in celebration of his brother's 40th birthday.
There is, no doubt, a profound message embedded in the relative popularity of these posts. If anyone figures it out, please let me know.

That was the message to local industry leaders from the president of the state organization that represents them to government.
Catherine Glover serves as president of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as the Tennessee Manufacturers Association
She was the keynote speaker for the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce's annual Industrial Showcase and Industry Appreciation luncheon Wednesday afternoon at the Museum Center at Five Points.
Glover said the state is seeing many advances in industry and the Bradley County area is finding itself well positioned to take advantage of the growth.
"There is a trend in manufacturing in the state. It is a huge renaissance amid one we are taking full advantage of," Glover said.
She noted Tennessee has been chosen as one of the 12 states named by the Environmental Protection Agency to receive Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership grants.
The IMCP program encourages communities to develop comprehensive economic strategies designed to strengthen their competitive edge for attracting global manufacturing and supply chain investments.
"This is really big for us," she said. "This gives us the opportunity to focus on automotive manufacturing in particular."
She said a recent Brookings Institute study stated Tennessee's competitive advantage in manufacturing comes from the automotive industry.
"This is going to mean a lot of money and a lot of opportunities," she said.
Of the 80,000 businesses in Tennessee, 6,700 are in manufacturing.
"Fifty percent of the total state output is in manufacturing," Glover said. "That is also 12 percent of [Tennessee's] workforce."
She added the state's total manufacturing output for 2012 totaled $41.4 billion — nearly 15 percent of Tennessee's total gross state product.
Glover noted one problem that must be overcome is the stereotype of the "dirty jobs" associated with manufacturing.
She said the new age of advanced manufacturing offers significant pay and benefits, but there is a major skills gap.
"It is a crisis and we need to realize it," Glover said.
TCCI will begin a new program in October designed to promote and encourage careers in the manufacturing sector. It is called "Dream It. Do It. TN."
"People aren't being encouraged to do manufacturing," she said. "Our youth don't find it exciting. Parents grow up thinking it's dirty."
The program will focus on youth ages 16-26, guidance counselors, career professionals and parents.
"We have to convince parents that advanced manufacturing is not only a very good job with very good benefit, but it is also not the backbreaking jobs they've grown up thinking they are," she said. "And in the state of Tennessee, it pays $26,000 more than most non-farm jobs. Seventy-five percent of those jobs do not require a four-year degree."
She said she is hopeful "Dream It. Do It. TN." will change the way people think about manufacturing in the state.
Ross Tarver, vice president and general manager of Tarver Distributing and the chairman of the Bradley/Cleveland Industrial Development Board, said the county can be proud of its business accomplishments.
"Our local economy is strong and that may be because of so many here in this room," Tarver said. "It is very important to notice that a community our size has a dozen Fortune 500 companies."

This morning, I had the opportunity to break bread with Peter Schwarzenbauer, the president and C.E.O. of Porsche Cars North America. Not a bad gig—his or mine, actually.
Unlike many auto executives, Schwarzenbauer was able to announce record sales, with Porsche selling 7.2% more through November than last year (a record-breaker itself). He has every reason to expect that things won't go down the toilet in the remaining three weeks of 2006.
But our conversation covered more ground than just sales numbers. Schwarzenbauer is a very bright, articulate and candid man, and his thoughts about the industry—and Porsche's little corner of it—are illuminating. —Don Chaikin
- Porsche will not introduce an "entry-level" model priced below the Boxster. Yes, Schwarzenbauer admits, a Boxster may not be most people's idea of entry-level, but it is the bottom of the Porsche ladder and must remain so. In reality, he pointed out, the real entry-level Porsche model is a used one—though he'd prefer we say "certified pre-owned."
- As for various rumblings around the press that the Cayenne is/was a disappointment, Schwarzenbauer flatly disagrees. He said Porsche hoped to sell about 12,000 Cayennes a year. As the current model is being phased out—the new Cayenne is due in March—the Porsche SUV has averaged 15,000 sales per year over its four-year life cycle. Schwarzenbauer also notes that the vast majority of Cayenne buyers did not trade in their Porsche sports car to buy the SUV.
- Looking to the future, Schwarzenbauer feels that the next generation of car buyers will be far less brand-loyal than the current generation. Porsche buyers, overall (it varies greatly by model) are about as loyal as the industry average. (About 45% of Porsche buyers are repeat owners , compared to 48% for the entire industry.)
- Yes, Porsche is working with VW and Audi to develop a hybrid, which most likely would go into the Cayenne, due "before 2010." Schwarzenbauer says adamantly, however, that Porsche will not go diesel.
- Finally, Porche's chief feels that the incentives game being played by almost every other manufacturer—Porsche has no incentives on anything—will eventually lead to the ruination of the industry.

Upon checking in the soil and pH testing FAQ questions at this site, it says basic soil tests can usually cost around $10 but I notice they're wanting $40 for a basic soil test at the extension service in my state. Isn't that rather high, or is the $10 charge for such a test probably how much it might have might have cost in the past sometime, before inflation or whatever? |

That is disappointingly crazy high for what you get. I understand large-scale agriculture isn't big there and they have to pay for the equipment that not many will use, but $40 for pH + NPK is crazy. The "add-ons" that are pretty much standard (aside from texture) on most soil reports costing $45 more is mind blowing coming from a cooperative extension service. At those prices this could be a case where sourcing an out-of-state test might not only make sense, it can probably save some money. |
Yeah, that high price is definitely discouraging me from getting the soil tested, and as well even from getting a garden started. Dangit. I was hoping to get a few different samples tested from different locations. That would be 80 bucks, sheesh. Plus on top of that the shipping cost of the samples from my location to the testing place. Wish I had a more affordable alternative. |

Think about how much produce you can buy from a good grocery store with 40 bucks..... |
Yeah but I'd been intending on planting/growing flowers, not produce. Regardless, guess I'll just forget about planting/growing flowers, or anything for that matter, if it's such a big expense just to at least get a basic soil test which I would think would be an otherwise practical/sensible thing to have done. |

Not all tests are the same. Here's a list of possible things you might be getting: P, K For that money I would be expecting all of these and a cappuccino. :-] |
It is possible to get set up and begin testing soil pH, using indicator dye, for around 20 dollars. The test solutions, supplied in one fluid ounce vials, would be sufficient for about 100 pH tests, so that works out to 20 cents per pH test. However, people have been planting crops and growing gardens, successfully, since long before modern soil science was invented. There is trial and error involved, and there is some effort involved in making your own compost, and using manure, or fish entrails, to provide nitrogen. Have you visited other gardens in your area, and seen what other local people are growing? |
Yes, I realize there will likely be a lot of trial and error involved but I was hoping to minimize that. I suppose I could try to consider the trial and error part of the fun. I was reading up on composting and it seems like a complicated science itself which probably involves quite a bit of trial and error too (more fun). Guess I could ask around at other people's successful-looking gardens and see if they're willing to share any of their secrets. |
If the AK in your initial post means Alaska, then we can reasonably expect that you will have a short growing season, but with really long hours of daylight. You might have volcanic soil, I'm not sure about that. It would help to know if your neighbors are routinely putting down agricultural lime on their garden plots. |
My location is actually SE (panhandle) of Alaska where we do indeed probably have a relatively short growing season, but not necessarily the really long hours of daylight like way up north. I've heard we have acidic soil here although I did a pH test with one of those cheap store-bought testers (probably unreliable) and it says pH neutral. But I'll check into it further to find out for sure. |
If you have blueberries, cranberries, or rhododendrons growing locally, then you very likely have the same acidic soil in your yard. On the other hand, if there are local limestone outcrops, or if you have hard water, and lime deposits in the teakettle, then you might have alkaline soil pH. |
What does that soil test consist of. Anytime you are comparing prices you need to compare apples to apples. If the test is for something more then just pH, P, K, Ca, and MG and OM $40.00 may be too high. Alaska soils tend to be acidic, peat, permafrost, etc. |

Everything costs more in Alaska. |
I did some additional checking/comparison of different labs/costs. I came across an outfit in Ohio that does an even more complete test for less expense. Info says they offer a particular package for Alaskan soils. "In addition to the basic Alaska soil test requirements, you will receive results for organic matter, sulfur, magnesium, calcium, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, iron, cation exchange capacity and percent base saturation. Cost: $16.50 per sample." Probably cost me a lot more to send it there from here though, so that may offset the potential savings. I'll have to figure it out. |
University of Massachusettes will do a basic test, including heavy metals, for $10.00. |

Gearbox has revealed the first download content for the well-selling but critically bashed shooter Duke Nukem Forever.
The 'Hail to the Icons' pack parodies two of the popular online games on the PC, Team Fortress and Call of Duty, with new multiplayer modes called 2Forts1Bridge and Call of Duke. The pack also includes other multiplayer modes and new weapons as well.
Here's the complete list:
- Freeze Tag mode – Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos.
- Hot Potato mode – See who can hold on to the babe the longest
- Hail to the King mode – Free-for-all Duke style
- Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don't stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.
- Sandbox – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children's toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.
- Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?
- 2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke doesn't need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he'll beat off all comers.
The DLC will be available for all the platforms this Autumn. First Access Club members will receive it for free.

As someone who believes live begins at conception...
Here's the problem, the pro-abortion movement has done a fine and dandy PR job at making the anti-abortion stance to be one based on religious sentiment.
No offense to you Amber, I'm using you as an example.
Life begins at conception period, its beginning at conception has nothing to do with whether we personally beleive it does.
Its a scientitific fact.
Life begins at conception.
Nothing to do with personal belief.
Science is our friend.
