About This Project
My niece is here for the summer! We needed a guest bed fast, that didn't take up an entire room! She chose this day bed!
Her bed is in the computer room, so there isn't enough room for a twin size bed. I modified the plans to fit a standard crib mattress. Now, when she isn't using the day bed, it doubles as a lounging spot to read. It is soooo cute!
For the storage baskets, I cut shipping boxes to size and mod podged fabric to them, and added some cute little knobs.
From Plan:
Required Skill Level:
Estimated Time Investment:
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used:
Early American by Rustoleum followed by 2 coats of satin poly

I'm wanting to do this exact same thing with a crib mattress. Could you provide the adjusted measurements you used?

Assassin's Creed III is set in Colonial America, and a future installment in the series could have gamers slitting throats in Colonial India. Speaking to the Official Xbox Magazine, Assassin's Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson said Ubisoft is excited about the prospect of bringing the franchise to that country.
"[Assassin's Creed III writer Corey May] really wants to do India," he said. "I would, too. I'd really love to do the Raj."
Elsewhere in the interview, Hutchinson said the three most-asked-for Assassin's Creed settings are World War II, feudal Japan, and Egypt. It's unlikely a future franchise entry will take place in these settings, as the developer said, "They're kind of the worst settings for an Assassin's Creed game."
Hutchinson did not specifically explain why those settings would not suit an Assassin's Creed game, but he did say, "People on the Internet suggest the most boring settings."
Assassin's Creed III is due out in North America for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U on October 30. A European launch will follow on Halloween. For more on the title, check out GameSpot's latest coverage.

Stem cell exodus?
Embryonic stem cell funding flows again – for now. But stop-and-go funding and continued legal wrangling could push researchers of cells from human embryos to pursue other fields.
Ann Hermes/Staff
When a judge froze all federal funding for research with human embryonic stem cells on Aug. 23, Jason Spence had no time to lose. Dependent on federal funding for his project to create replacement liver and other cells for patients, the stem-cell researcher had nine days before his project – and salary – expired.
Dr. Spence and the director of his lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital began calling everyone they could think of, from hospital administrators to private agencies. After his funding officially lapsed on Sept. 1, the executive director of another institute at the hospital stepped in with temporary funds. Spence's project was safe, for the moment.
Then on Sept. 9, a federal appeals court temporarily stayed the injunction, allowing federal research money to flow once again to Spence and 21 other scientists whose funding had already stopped. On Sept. 28, they ruled that funding will continue, pending the outcome of an ongoing lawsuit. The appeals court has expedited the trial, so funding will be in jeopardy again, soon.
This month-long saga illustrates America's ongoing struggle with human embryonic stem-cell (hESC) research. Supporters say hESC research offers the potential to solve so-called "incurable diseases." Detractors point out that it involves the destruction of human embryos that, in other circumstances, could grow into people. With all the moral objections swirling around it, and the stop-and-go funding it has endured, is hESC research worth pursuing?
That's what many researchers are asking themselves – and their answer could have profound economic implications for the United States.

Wanting to hear positive signs that the economy is starting to turn. We own a small buisness, and things don't seem to be picking up, we will be okay if the downturn does not hang on too long...guess I am asking to hear some positive news, anyone??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think this will be a slow recovery as the consumer is psychologically shell-shocked. An improved savings rate is good for the country in the long run, but there's a short-term cost in the lack of support for retail. This can cause ripples 'downstream', so I expect to see even more empty neighborhood storefronts than we do now. That's doesn't necessarily mean businesses have closed, so much as many are retrenching. They may move to smaller, cheaper office space, close unprofitable branches, or even go back to the home business model. Much depends on your local economy. Are you dependent upon just neighborhood locals? Walking or driving? What's your competition doing? Would more marketing improve your bottom line? These and other questions are important as you try to steer through these murky times. Even in our area, where the per capita income is greater than average and RE is expensive, local businesses are suffering. We've seen our net worth fall by 40% and our income will fall 20% when my DH retires next year - but we are still much more fortunate than most. We have cut back a little, but will cut back a bit more when retirement actually happens. Some budget items, though, can only be cut so far, so there's still a level of discretionary income being spent. The US was the first into the global recession and thus will be the first out of it. I discount China's numbers by at least half; their economy and its statistics are entirely government-driven and therefore extremely suspect. To say they inflate their figures to suit their political message is putting it mildly, LOL. Still, they are pulling out of a tailspin as well, in one form or another. The next shoe to drop for the US will be the commercial loan market and the bump in foreclosures. A lot of people didn't realize the banks had stopped foreclosures earlier in the year, so distressed properties were in suspension and are only beginning to work their way back up into view again. The good thing is so far, upcoming commercial loans due have been able to be rolled over or new stock issued to raise capital. Karen Finerman, one of my favorites on CNBC's "Fast Money" program, recently confessed she had finally unraveled her short position (e.g., lost money) on commercial loan prop management co's because her picks (to implode) had been able to raise capital and keep going. And there is a lot of pent-up demand for housing stock. The current constrictions on appraisals and mortgages will only lengthen the timeline that demand will continue. It will not destroy the demand itself. Amongst our family and friends, very few have lost their jobs. Cutbacks in staff, increase in hours, no bonuses, lousy (or no) salary increases - but they're still working and pulling in paychecks. Like the proverb says, this too shall pass. I've seen quite a few recessions, and every single time the doomsayers come out 'en masse' and say the sky is falling. Truth is, the skies DO fall on some - but for most, they keep going or just pick themselves up and figure out a way to recover. |

Obama commits US to helping hunt for LRA leader Joseph Kony
President Obama signed a new law to help four African nations hunt down LRA leader Joseph Kony, who's followers have brutalized thousands over the past 23 years. Kony has been indicted for war crimes by an international court.
Reuters TV/File
Dungu, Democratic Republic of Congo
Lying on her hospital bed with her left arm heavily bandaged, three-year-old Suza Anipkidu is one of the Lord's Resistance Army's most recent victims.
Four days earlier, Suza, was following her grandfather, Samuel Mizalogbe, into the fields outside their village. That was when they came across the rebels.
Immediately they shot and killed her grandfather and another elderly man accompanying him. When Suza instinctively ran over to her grandfather's body they spotted her and then shot her.
"They thought she was dead and so they left," says her mother, Modestine Ngbadulezele, as she watches over her daughter as she recovers from the bullet wound. For the family, it's not the first encounter with the LRA. In March, two relatives were abducted when the LRA attacked the village.
Attacks, such as this one, for the past 23 years, are why President Barack Obama signed a law Monday that commits the US to helping four African nations to bring an "end to the brutality and destruction," said Mr. Obama in a statement. "By any measure, [the LRA's] actions are an affront to human dignity."
Kony's trail of tears
Originally from neighboring Uganda, the LRA is led by Joseph Kony, self-proclaimed prophet who was indicted in 2005 for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC). His followers have become infamous for mutilating their victims and abducting children to be used as porters, fighters, and sex slaves.

Ok now that I've decided on the color for the room, I went in to inspect the walls and noticed that there is a row of drywall screws that are slightly poped out. I cant see the screws but just the small bumps. How do I fix those(Should I fix those)?. I hate to see them come out completely showing the holes after I have painted. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could just scrape away the bump with a stiff putty knife and patch or screw them back in until they are below the surface of the wall and then patch. |
I just did Paintguy's method a couple weeks ago when our entry was painted! He described (on a recent thread here somewhere) using a screw right next to the nail to pull the nail back in with the underside of the screw-head. A couple of MY nail-bumps (out of 6 in the same corner!) were 10'+ up on our high entry wall...right next to the front wall which we weren't gonna paint yet! Had to be carefull not to nick that front wall. Faron |
Thank you, will try to do that. Im a petite woman, who is very excited about colors and painting, but now if I have to do this nails and screws stuff, hhmmm not too excited about that.. but if it has to be done, then it has to be done. Thanks for advices. |

The bump outs over *screws* are usually caused by rusted screw heads (cheap screws or nails) releasing the spackling. Once you remove the bubble, inspect the screw or nail head. If it's rusty, prime it with a shot of CoverStain aerosol or any other alkyd primer you may have. After the primer is dry, proceed accordingly with spackling and sanding. Be sure to prime over all patches prior to painting. Michael |

I just brewed this yesterday, ended up with about 4.8 gallons in the fermenter, OG was 1.048. I also used washed yeast from the last time I made this, and it's already going crazy 12 hrs later.

I use one package of Notty when I make this, ferment at 65 and can go grain to glass in about 10 days. No esters to speak of and it clears nicely after a couple days in the keg.

Brewed it up Saturday. OG came in low 1.038. Second all grain so I'm still figuring out my system. Still excited!!!!!!

I know this has been sufficiently proven but DAMN THIS IS GOOD! It even won over my father in law who is a die hard lager man. I forgot to add any irish moss so it's a bit hazy but it sure does taste good. I didn't tap the keg till it had aged for 6 weeks (was in primary for 3 weeks) and I don't think it will last long. I had 3 after mowing the lawn yesterday. So refreshing and you can still function since its low ABV. Properly good stuff BierMuncher!
I kicked my keg of this last night. Time to brew it again!
God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.
Hi guys, i just brewed a five gallon batch of this ale on sunday which was my first attempt at all grain. I hit the temps and hydrometer reading right on the nose and am currently waiting patiently for it to ferment. My question was if anyone had tried this recipe with honey and if so what kind and whether the honey was put into the boil or primary. Thanks for your time!

OK... Shaun, what I ment by 90° from each other is the actual angle of the wires that come out of the box. If you look at the AR6000 there are 2 antenna wires comming out of the case and they are at 90° of each other. This has to do with the freq. and how long the wavelengths are apart. I cant remember all the details off the top of my head right now but I used to have to play with Diapoles on the F-14D Radar dish and if they were not 90° to the surface the pilots would complain about false tracking and dropping targets. I dont think that the AR6000 is as complex as APG-71 radar but there are some similarities to them ( and many other items that use radar and close to radar frequencies.).
CG Bob, Yes with your Futaba radio you should get considerable more distance. I try to keep all my antennas in side my hulls if I can and I can usually control the boats fine well past my visual range and almost past practical with my binocs. The Spektrum DX6 was intended for park aircraft operated at short range therefore the output of the Tx was limited. As for the Spektrum systems used for "ground" like the DX3, they have more power output at the Tx so the range is greater. Ropanach, The DX7 should provide you with better reception around the Ham guys. 2.4 GHz have closer wavelengths which make it harder to insert interfearance. The lower the freq. the higher the chance of interfearance. A 2.4 GHz wavelength is about 2.5-3 inches long where a 75MHz is somewhere around 3 feet long. Can you see how some one with an overpowered radio can add some unwanted noise into your signal? Massey |

The Election of 1860
The Election of 1860 Tensions often run high as Americans prepare to cast their vote for president of the United States. But perhaps no election carried more weight for the United States than the election of 1860. For a nation standing at the brink of civil war, a nation where four million lived in bondage, a nation whose entire economic system lay threatened by its outcome, the election of 1860 poised the United States at the edge of an uncertain precipice from which the great American experiment would either soar or plunge to its untimely demise. Library of Congress The Issues and the Candidates The issues on the minds of Americans in 1860 were varied, with some still in the political arena today. Political debate covered:
The principal issue was the clash of slavery and its expansion. For the voters of 1860 this was not merely an issue of human rights. The economic system based on slave grown cotton not only controlled the south but the entire United States, and reached across the ocean as well. For four million enslaved Americans who could not share their voice by the vote, the outcome of this issue and the election meant hope for a life of freedom. Library of Congress The Candidates The race for president started out on uneven footing with major candidates from four parties vying for the win. The Democratic Party had split in two after the southern delegates walked out of the convention and chose their own candidate. Many southerners were not happy with either the Republican or Democratic Parties so they formed the Constitutional Union Party, which was based entirely on the words of the constitution. Library of Congress Abraham Lincoln of Illinois represented the Republican Party. He wanted to stop the spread of slavery in new territories and states. Library of Congress John Bell of Tennessee represented the Constitutional Union Party. He believed in protecting slavery as it was allowed in the Constitution, but wanted to prevent its spread to keep the peace and preserve the Union. Library of Congress John Breckinridge of Kentucky represented the southern faction of the Democratic Party. He wanted the right to own slaves to be protected in the territories by a federal slave code, and when a territory became a state for the settlers to decide if slavery should be allowed. Library of Congress Stephen Douglas of Illinois represented the northern faction of the Democratic Party. He adhered to the idea of popular sovereigntythat the people have the right to decide for themselves if slavery will exist in territories and new states, without a federal slave code. Library of Congress The Voters and the Polls In 1860 the population of the United States was around 31.5 million. Approximately half of that number met the age requirement to vote but women and, in most states, minorities were excluded. Around 6.9 million, or just fewer than 45% of the age eligible population, had the option to represent the nation at the polls. On November 6, 1860, 81% of eligible voters, compared with 57.5% in 2012, cast their ballot for President of the United States of America. Harpers Weekly There was not yet a national standard for voting qualifications and requirements varied by state. In the state of Virginia you could only vote if you were:
The states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire allowed African Americans to vote in 1860. Library of Congress In 1860, the polling place operated differently than it does today. Voting men would receive a paper ticket for the party of their choice. On Election Day the official would announce each vote out loud before placing it in the ballot box. Rather than voting for individuals a man would be voting for the entire list of candidates from that party, from the local to national level. Obviously the public nature of the voting process left room for corruptionimagine your boss standing at the polling place to hear if you voted for his candidate! Library of Congress The Outcome Today we recognize that geography plays a role in the outcome of an election. We watch the political map as red states and blue states appear in regional clusters and the geographic and ideological makeup of a state can often be used to guess its outcome. In 1860 geography was a huge factor in the way the election would play out.
Library of Congress Ultimately, Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th President of the United States of Americathe first president ever to be elected with less than 50% of the vote. Lincolns victory was an amazing feat considering that he won only two counties in the entire south and he did not receive a single vote from the nine Representatives and Senators from Maine. Library of Congress The discontent was immediate. The election of 1860 proved to be the breaking point for an already unstable nation. By Lincolns inauguration in March, 1861 seven states from the Deep South had already left the Union. Lincoln closed his first inaugural address with the plea that his nation not be torn apart by war. "I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." Lincoln did not get his wish but would instead guide his shattered country through four years of war. In true democratic fashion, it would be up to the citizens of this nation and the president they elected to write the future of the Union and the promise of freedom for all. |

That is pretty awesome actually. For some reason I got the picture of a "POD" in my mind when I saw that.
They really should make PODS into big ass X1's.

Hey I got a laugh out of it!
OT: Just pledged my GT as well. I know I won't win anything, but I figured why not. I'm interested to see what's inside of the giant Xbox One, only 61% left to unlock (which shouldn't take too long).
I had no idea how big the Xbox One really is!
Look at the tiny people.
I am sad for the loss of innovation, all gaming and gamers mourn the pushing back of the future to another time. The ice cream may be melting. E3 Save us all!

Med's for mom in needSubmitted by bobbi (not verified) on Tue, 12/18/2007 - 7:59am.
While reading this story I was reminded of a Christmas that Time Warner adopted my family. I was so blessed that year. But the main reason for writing was in hopes that Baileys mom would know about the pharmacy help she can receive. Her doctor or the health dept(free) can fill out a form for the pharmacutical company to get her med's free of charge. She can get a 3 months supply at a time. They are mailed directly to her home. I used this for years. Even though she doesn't qualify for medicaid, she will qualify for this program. I hope this helps, Bobbi

April Fools' Practical Jokes & Pranks
April Fools Day is just around the corner so Kidzworld has brought you some of the coolest tricks to get you in the holiday spirit. Back to Article
I've got one!!! when its like 12oclock at night, change the clocks to the time you sibling goes to school. Then, wake 'em up and say "YOUR LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!"
umm... they poop and the poop sits on the plastic and is all gross and yuck and it should gross them out...
at school when the teacher is gone quickly put chalk in the erasers slits
Last year I hid in my toy box..you should have heard the screech that arose from Mom!
i don't get the toilet one, what exactly is suppose to happen? it seems like a goood prank though...
first to setup is catch a spider and put it in a small glass or plastic container.Put it on top of relative/friend.WATCH THEM HAVE THEIR NIGHTMARE COME TRUE
Once i hid under my mums bed
and waited for her to wake up
when she woke up and stood on the floor
i grabbed her leg really fast
and she screamed
she woke everyone up
the toilet one sounds really funny, i tried to do it but i ended up blocking the toilet!! got into alot of trouble!!!
So, today is April fools day! i did the ceran wrap/toilet 2 my mom/dad~they freaked!
i think the tolet one sounded funny but i would never try it though i probly wont get in trouble lol!!!!!!!
i want to try the water and salt one. also people try taking a pen cap and super glue it to the end (where there is not ink) it always works on my family but my sister told my dad and i got grounded for 1 year it sucks
Here's a few!!
1) Put clear plastic wrap over your victim's bedroom doorway, or a doorway used by lots of people. When somebody walks through, they'll get an invisible surprise!! Just make sure not to fall into your own trap. Mark the doorway with a
hi i think i will try the salt and sugar i snuck downstairs after my parents went to bed trying to find a good prank to pull
Haha. I wanna try the toilet clear wrapper thing but I would probably get grounded, too. Um... Ya, no. I don't need to be grounded... But I'm gonna try a lot of them, though...

NZ changed timezone dates last year (554 comments)
NZ changed the dates for it 'summer' last year - it was published a year out - all major distros and time servers had had the new dates loaded and it was mostly seamless.
MS even put out an update to update the timezone file on Windows
The only people that had any problems where those that where running old system (read big Unix/ mainframe system that never miss a beat - but do not accept updates either, due to being isolated from the outside world - they needed the timezone file to be manually updated) , or had not applied the updates.
Mostly - moving the date by 2 weeks at each end of 'summer' was a none event - but it meant I was able to get home and have beer on the deck in the afternoon sum
Re:Uh, that's not just possible, it's super possib (52 comments)
Dude - OSGI is soooo much more then Tomcats class loader separation. Think of a SINGLE web app (war file in Tomcat) that needs to use two versions of the same jar file (think apache-commons).... This is OSGI -binding to specific library versions WITHIN the same class loader context - all dependencies specified in the manifest file. But I agree with the reviewer - if you are not running into enterprise level lass loader issues, dependency issues, and other resource management (pooling etc) management, you probably will be a while away from needing OSGI, but in an enterprise scale environment, OSGI solves some very nasty problems.

US Tax system is a pain (639 comments)
I feel sorry for you all with a tax system that is impossible to track.
The obvious solution is to ignore the fact that it is ecommerce and treat the sale as though the person was standing at the shop counter ordering goods - this is the idea behind ecommerce - a virtual shop.
This way the tax that should be applied is the tax of the state where the business is located. The sales channel should not effect the tax rate.
Back to my origional point - having differing state and regional tax rates is nuts. NZ introduced a flat tax (GST) on every item purchased or service rendered - no exceptions- some 15 years back - this is working well. Aus introduced a similar thing a few years back and it seems to be working- even though they added a whole bunch of exceptions that are exempt which increases the complexity of administratioon (AKA COST).
The US needs to bring its tax system in to the 1980's level of thinking (we wont ask you to advance too far:-) )

MAHA educates and mobilizes across Massachusetts to break down barriers to affordable and sustainable homeownership.
Governor Patrick Announces Massachusetts Homeownership Compact in Dorchester
DORCHESTER – Monday, June 10, 2013 – Governor Deval Patrick today kicked-off Commonwealth Housing Week by announcing a new compact that creates a goal of providing 10,000 mortgage loans to first-time homebuyers over the next five years. The Home Ownership Compact includes a commitment among lenders to originate a specific number of mortgage loans to first-time home buyers with household incomes below the area median income through the MassHousing and the Massachusetts Housing Partnership programs.
"By giving more young people and families the opportunity to own a home, we retain our talent pool and create sustainable long term economic growth," said Governor Patrick.
The Massachusetts Homeownership Compact will help accelerate economic recovery and neighborhood stabilization initiatives in the Commonwealth and retain and attract a competitive workforce.
"We couldn't have purchased our home without Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance's first-time homebuyer program, support from our family, a great mortgage product and a wonderful loan officer," said Rashida Constantine, a Dorchester homeowner and MAHA member. "It was an empowering experience that sets an important example for our kids."
Supreme Court Strikes Down Heart of the Voting Rights Act
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court struck down a key provision in the Voting Rights Act that requires federal oversight of certain states and localities that have a history of racial discrimination in voter registration practices and access to voting.
The justices voted 5-4 to strike down Section 4 of the Act which determined which areas needed federal approval before they could change their voting laws.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, argued that the data used to determine which areas required federal oversight was 40 years old, and that recent voter registration rates and voter turnout among African Americans in these districts no longer justified federal intrusion.
Supporters of the Voting Rights Act countered that the law was critical in forcing these areas to improve, and that threats to minority voting rights are now gaining steam in many states.
A recent New York Times article explains more about the ruling and its impact.

From the series: Making Control System Development Easier with MATLAB and Simulink
Arkadiy Turevskiy, MathWorks
Are you:
• Struggling with getting access to a prototype to test that your design is error free and that various system components work together as intended?
• Finding design errors late in the development process or even in the field?
• Trying to reduce the cost of your development process?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then view this webinar to learn how to use dynamic simulation to model, design, and verify control systems before testing on hardware. It is the first of a four-part webinar series that will highlight the use of MathWorks products for designing a control system by using a digital motion control case study. The webinar will introduce the main products used in the case study and highlight the benefits gained through dynamic simulation in Simulink. The remaining three webinars will detail the aspects of modeling the plant (part 2), designing the control system (part 3), and verifying the control system through real-time testing (part 4).
Through this webinar series MathWorks engineers will demonstrate how you can:
• Test more thoroughly, by starting before hardware is available and by simulating conditions that would be dangerous or costly to examine with real hardware.
• Catch errors early in the development process where they are easier and cheaper to fix.
• Troubleshoot existing design problems systematically and effectively, without tying up actual hardware systems.
• Try different control strategies safely and quickly
This will help you reduce development time and costs, improve quality, and deliver systems with higher performance and efficiency.
Customers testify:
• "Without MathWorks tools, we would have had to use C or Fortran to construct a suitable simulation model. We would not have been able to analyze the behavior of the controller and the mechanical system together before protoyping". Robert Peterson, CARCO Electronics.
• "We created a hardware-in-the-loop testing tool using Simulink, Real-Time Workshop, and xPC Target that enables us to very rapidly test control algorithms in a way that is simply not possible on an actual airplane". Allan Johnson, Cessna Aircraft Company.
• "MathWorks tools made it easy for us to test ideas, introduce new algorithms, and compare one controller against another... We could quickly change the structure of the controller and immediately see the results. The ability to perform rapid iterations enabled us to optimize quality and functionality while greatly reducing development cycle time." Thomas Debes, manroland
About the Presenter: Arkadiy Turevskiy has 13 years of experience with MATLAB and Simulink. Prior to The MathWorks Arkadiy developed embedded control systems for aircraft engines.
Recorded: 19 Jan 2010

This fun and creative building toy can also encourage learning at school!
It is no secret why kids love playing with toys―whether they are building or creating something completely new from their imagination, acting out a lively scene with stuffed animals and action figures, or opening up their minds to something new, such as science experiments or puppet show, toys provide children with a creative, stimulating outlet that they cannot get anywhere else. Plus, there is just nothing better than watching a child's imagination run wild as they create and build things all on their own.

The Complex cover girl shared a black-and-white still from the extravaganza on Instagram and she appears to be dressed as a bride. Only, Lana looks a little worse for wear, which would tie in with the bleak ballad's disturbing lyrics ("he hit me and it felt like a kiss"). It will be interesting to see if the video tackles the domestic violence references head on or takes a more subtle approach. The visual is said to be "coming soon".
Are you excited for Lana's "Ultraviolence" video? Let us know in the comments below.

Cuba finishes third in CMS relays
- Details
- Parent Category: Sports
- Written by Chris Case
- Hits: 772
Rolla finished first, Steelville second, and Cuba third in both the girls and boys competitions at the Cuba Middle School Relays on April 16. The CMS team performed very well in several events but came up short in compiling team point totals at the end of the track meet.

By Mike Aldridge, Sports writer The Scott County All Comers had several really good teams and the Harrison County Fillies and Thorobreds were not sharp on Tuesday, which brought about less than the desired results for the local athletes. "There was some good competition, but we were just not sharp," remarked Fillies Coach Danny Simpson. The Fillies finished fifth of the 10 teams, only 24 points out of first, but were not as intense as the veteran Simpson would have liked.
It is the wettest April on record, with storms every day it seems, yet Little League is scheduled to start Saturday. I hope it is able to start because when it does all of the wet weather will just be a memory. We will forget, or at least put in the back of our mind, all of the problems we are having today with the constant bad weather and rain. Little League times remind me of when I was that age and played for the Tell City Chair Company.
When Dan and Bernadette Bashinski left Cynthiana to go back to Wisconsin, no one could have even imagined the course that this would put their young daughter Sarah on in order to fulfill her destiny. Oldest brother Brian, who is 10 years Sarah's senior, was a cross country and track athlete for the Thorobreds and Sarah watched his races and greatly admired her brother's skill and determination. Brian went on to Marquette University, but didn't compete for the Warriors due to classroom requirements, but still ran for enjoyment.
Breds swarm Bluejackets 15-0 Thursday in Carlisle The Harrison County Thorobreds lit up three Nicholas County pitchers for 16 hits and 15 runs Thursday en route to a 15-0 district win in Carlisle. Coach Mac Whitaker used five pitchers to try to keep everyone as sharp as he can during this rainy part of the schedule. The Breds were to play three games in Elizabethtown over the weekend and again Monday night at home versus Bracken County. Unfortunately, all of these games were cancelled or postponed due to the weather.
The Harrison County Thorobreds improved to 7-5 on the season with a 13-9 win over the Pendleton County Wildcats Tuesday night in Falmouth. While winning the game, the Thorobreds put on an awesome power display hitting seven home runs and three doubles in their 17-hit total. The power display started in the first as the Breds had back-to-back-to-back home runs with Hunter Hill, Shane Fowler and John King leaving the park.
The wins are hard to get so far this season, but Fillies coach Christine Garnett likes her team's moxey. "We get down but keep fighting back, but success has been hard to come by this year," she noted after Tuesday's game. "Maybe this inning will set the stage for the rest of the season." The inning she was referring to was the 10-run sixth in the 14-4 win over Campbell County.
Montgomery County and George Rogers Clark are two of the favorites in the region this year, and almost every year, which made it difficult for Harrison County to face them on successive days. The Harrison County netters traveled to Mt. Sterling and were soundly defeated on Wednesday as both the girls' team and the boys' lost by 0-5 scores.
Like many of you, I have been reading about what the University of Kentucky wants to do about either building a new basketball arena, renovating Rupp Arena or letting well enough alone. Rupp Arena is among the best venues for college basketball in the country as it is today. Some are speculating that the new arena is wanted, due in large part to jealousy over the University of Louisville and the Yum Center. Only the individual knows why they are for or against something, but it is a fine arena (the Yum Center) and many UK fans don't like Louisville.

Astronomy Colloquium: "Variety in black hole-neutron star merger outcomes"

The outcome of a black hole-neutron star binary merger can depend
on the the unknown details of the neutron star equation of state
as well as the premerger masses and spins. Some of the nuclear
matter can form a hot, neutrino-dominated accretion flow onto the
black hole--an intrinsically interesting extreme of accretion physics
and also a promising engine for a short-duration gamma ray burst.
Meanwhile, the tidal tail and disk winds can produce outflows with
their own interesting evolution and possibility for detection as a
kilonova or radio afterglow. In this talk, I will present numerical
simulations of black hole-neutron star binaries carried out with the
Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC); simulations include general relativity,
a nuclear theory-based equation of state, and approximate effects of
neutrino radiation. We cover a range of binary types, but give most
attention to moderate black hole mass, high black hole spin systems.
We find that a wide variety of post-merger outcomes is possible,
depending on the masses and spins: disk-dominated, ejecta-dominated,
or mixed. The early accretion disk also can have a variety of behaviors
and levels of neutrino luminosity. I will also remark on applications of
our findings to the interpretation of future multi-messenger detections of these events.

Snow falls in KZN and Lesotho
Comment on this storyDurban - Light snow has fallen at the border of Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal, the SA Weather Service said on Thursday.
"It fell on the peaks of the mountains at the border. It happened overnight and into this morning (Thursday)," said forecaster Edwin Thema.
"The snow is on the peaks and not close to any roads. It should melt in the next few days."
On its website, the Tiffindell Ski Resort, located in the area, confirmed the snowfall and put up pictures of it.
"First snow of 2014 has fallen," it said, adding that the minimum temperature was at four degrees.

Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C. Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, address this critical 21st century issue.

One day after Apple launched the iPad in 2010, Sargent went to Seattle to meet with Grandinetti. The meeting was extremely tense.
According to Grandinetti's testimony, Sargent told him Macmillan wanted to change the terms of its contract with Amazon. Instead of the wholesale model, in which Amazon set the prices for e-books, Macmillan wanted to decide the prices itself in agency model -- which is what Apple had introduced.
Grandinetti informed Sargent that he considered the "ultimatum" to be "unpalatable," and he promptly escorted Sargent out of Amazon HQ. (Sargent described it as getting his "ass kicked.")
Amazon removed all Macmillan titles from its physical book and e-book catalog the next day.
Eventually Grandinetti "capitulated," he said, and signed agency contracts with all five major publishers -- including Macmillan.

One complete revolution of the bullet in 7 inches of forward travel versus one complete revolution in 9 inches of forward travel. Did you mean specifically as in which grain bullet are they best suited for? Or in terms of accuracy? The 1 in X number is just how long "X" in inches it takes the bullet to make a 360 revoluation inside the barrel. 1:12? 12 inches.
101, Dillinger is correct. If you would like to look into it further. Go to the above Search Box and type in Barrel Twist and hit GO. Then scan down the topics and you will see a section titled "Understanding Barrel Twists" Maybe that will also help. 03

2" is all.
Thanks ,thats a big help.l guess what l was really going after was wondering which one would be the better shooter at say 100 yds.or would either be better ?
What grain round? What "bullet" are you shooting? What ammo are you going to buy and shoot for 100 yard accuracy?
Not really planning on shooting any certain ammo or grain . The question was really to settle in my my if the barrels would shoot different. Besides just a bullet spinning more or less.
If you don't match up the bullet with your rifling twist rate then you can get bad performance. Over stabilizing a bullet with a faster twist rate doesn't cause many problems. But, not stabilizing the bullet can cause bullets to wobble or flip and tumble in flight ruining consistent flight paths for any kind of repeatable accuracy. So I wouldn't shoot bullets over 62 grains out of a 1:12 barrel or anything much heavier than 70 gr out if a 1:9 twist and expect lo g range accuracy when dei g with .223 caliber projectiles.
As the folks have said- the rate of twist has to be correct for the weight and length of the bullet. I shoot a 400 grain 50 caliber muzzleloader with a twist of about 1 in 42 inches. If the barrel had the rate of twist of an AR15, the big soft HEAVY bullet would skid over the rifling instead of being spun by it. Likewise, a bullet that needs a fast rate of twist for stability (1 in 7 inches) if fired from a 1 in 42 would probably be traveling sideways or backwards.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

first of all if it in the wrong section, you can sue me. i can handle it. ok, so DOMINION is coming, we are all hyping like hell about it ! of course it DOES look totally awesome. BUT... if a regular patch overwhelms our beloved servers.... what do u expect will happen when dominion arrives? We'll have the OVER 9.000 Burned in our screens, we'll hate this Dragon Ball reference forever and even have nightmares about it ! So, considering this upcoming dread that will soon haunt us... while talking to my friend and teammate Superbone 1, i thought to myself.... *if u r lazy start reading from here* Why RIOT doesn't make PATCHERS. and by that i mean the same exact thing BLIZZARD does for their games... Files that contain everything that need to be patched in a conventional .exe format and UPLOAD them in SEVERAL DIFFERENT SERVERS. megaupload - rapidshare - torrent - etc... this way, as i see it, and i might be wrong, Riot Servers won't overload with billions of players all having the hardest time EVAR to download this patch... which i presume will be around 478MB TL;DR - Riot make patchers instead of uploading on ur own servers Thanks a lot for ur time, and if i said something that made no sense at all.. oh well... do ur internet civic duty and troll away
