Andrew C. McCarthy: Rigging the Numbers on Terror – National Review Online
Posted By Jacob Laksin On February 1, 2010 @ 11:20 am In Uncategorized | No Comments
It is welcome news that the Obama administration has reversed its irrational decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 plotters in Manhattan's federal court. So far, however, the administration has merely — and grudgingly — begun to climb out of this hole of its own making.The president seems more poised to move his error than to correct it. Reports indicate that the administration thinks the challenge now is to find a new location in which to proceed with the same ill-advised civilian prosecution. Instead, the idea at this point should be to build a sensible strategy going forward: military commissions for now, and, ultimately, a new system for handling national-security cases.No such luck. Rather than learn from this experience, the Left is doubling down on civilian due process. Its agitprop du jour is a bogus numbers game.

Tornado causes damage on the Eastern Plains, including Holyoke, Akron and Yuma County
HOLYOKE, Colo. - Tuesday's snow made it even more difficult for officials to assess the damage in Holyoke caused by a tornado that swept through Phillips County Monday night.
Some of the heaviest damage in that area was near the airport on the edge of town.
"The outlying edges, not many houses, mostly outbuildings right now," said Holyoke Police Chief Doug Bergstrom. "All in all, it could have been a lot worse."
Three photographs provided to ABC affiliate KRDO-TV show a shop owned by Alicia Schram and her husband. The building stored a variety of farm equipment and a speed boat, some of which was visible in the debris of the building.
That wasn't the only tornado in Colorado's Eastern Plains Monday night.
Video from StormChasingVideo.com and supplied to 7NEWS through our affiliate with CNN, shows a thin tornado touching down in Yuma County.
A third tornado damaged structures south of Akron in Washington County around 8 p.m., but no injuries were reported.
Washington County Undersheriff John Stivers told 7NEWS a trailer home flipped with a woman inside. She was not hurt.
Half of the town of Akron was without power after six power poles were knocked down between Brush and Last Chance, Washington County Emergency Management said. One non-residential structure was damaged north of Akron.
Meanwhile, a powerful storm packing gusts of up to 52 mph in metro Denver toppled trees and caused flight cancellations at Denver International Airport on Monday night.
Strong winds also caused some DIA-bound flights to be diverted to the Colorado Springs Airport on Monday night.
In Longmont, wind gusts uprooted one large tree and blew it into a house. Crews worked late into the night to remove it.
Jorge Cordova was inside the home with his family when it happened.
"It sounded like a tornado, and my mouth dropped open when I saw," said Cordova. "I can't believe that happened here. What's important is everyone is OK."

I'm diving into my Delia's Winter Collection: 150 Recipes for Winter, which I have had for 15 years! My cousin and close friend Janet gave it to me when we were both in London. I'm sure she was hoping that it would inspire me then and she'd be coming over to my flat for wonderful meals. Sadly, this was not the case. I loved it, but at that time wasn't digging into recipes books like I am now, and spent more time eating out than in. It was almost like it was too good for me, too beyond me, like I admired it but was a bit afraid to delve into it. This blog gives me a chance to showcase it a bit (along with my growing collection of cookbooks). Now I'm in Vancouver and she's in Tasmania, so it's not so easy to have her over for dinner. It's a reminder to not take having people we care about for granted when they are close at hand. The years go by and whether it's geography or life in general, people move, and sharing meals together isn't an option very often then.
I took the recipe and used it as my starting point, my base if you like, and you can do the same here. You could easily make this vegetarian, and add a few more vegetables (next time I'm going to add eggplant and zucchini and skip the chicken). What was the standout for me? The gorgeous, lemony flavour that had me wanting to drink all of the liquid and had me eating a second serving I really didn't need. For my husband it was the olives. He liked this dish so much he finished his first serving and then was eating out of the casserole dish with his spoon. One comment he made that stuck with me was "There are slices of lemon in here!"
The original recipe calls for green and black olives - I chose to use kalamata olives. Saffron and wine are a few other ingredients I did not use. I squeezed the lemon over the dish before mixing everything together thoroughly. I usually include some sort of dried fruit in any Moroccan-inspired dishes. Here I didn't and it didn't suffer - but next time I will. Dried apricots would be my personal preference, but chopped dates or prunes, even some raisins would be interesting inclusions in this dish. I added carrots and green lentils. Puy lentils would be another lentil that would work well here - and hold it's firmness. The green lentils were great, but got a little lost with everything else. The dark green colour of Puy lentils would add a nice visual element too.
This makes for top-notch leftovers and for any readers that are parents, my one year old Scarlet liked this too, olives and all.
- 8 drumsticks and thighs or a mixture of these and chicken breasts (I used half chicken thighs and chicken breasts)
- 4 oz (110 g) dried chickpeas
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup dried green lentils
- 2 to 3 carrots, chopped or sliced
- 6 oz (175 g) brown basmati rice
- 2 fresh chilies, halved, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coriander seeds
- 2 bunches fresh cilantro
- 2 lemons (one for squeezing and 1/2 to 1 for slicing)
- 2 yellow bell peppers (or a mixture - I used yellow and orange)
- 2 large onions, peeled and cut into medium-size pieces
- 3 to 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
- 10 fl oz (275 ml) carton chicken stock (or 15 oz/440 ml if not using wine)
- 5 fl oz (150 ml) dry white wine
- 4 oz (100 g) olives (green, black, or kalamata)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
Place the chickpeas in a bowl, cover with cold water and soak overnight or for about 8 hours. Alternatively, place the chickpeas into a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them sit for three hours. When you are pulling the other elements of this recipe together you will need to simmer the chickpeas for 20 minutes or until they are tender, regardless of which method you use. In a hurry? You could use a medium-sized can of chickpeas. Add the lentils for the last ten minutes of the cooking time. Both the lentils and chickpeas will have more cooking time when the entire dish cooks further in the oven.
Chop the garlic cloves, set aside.
Slice 1/2 to 1 whole lemon. Set aside.
Slice the chilies in half, deseed and chop. Set aside.
Measure the rice. Rinse well and set aside
Place a small saucepan or frying pan over medium heat and add the coriander and cumin seeds. Toss them around for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until they start to change colour. Transfer them to a pestle and mortar and crush them coarsely.
Season the chicken breasts, legs or thighs. Place 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil in a saucepan, Dutch oven or flameproof casserole of your choice, over medium high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
While the chicken is browning, slice the peppers in half. Remove the seeds and pith. Slice the halves into large pieces.
Slice the onions in pieces about the same size as the peppers.
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil in the same saucepan, Dutch oven or flameproof casserole dish as you used for the chicken. When this is hot again, add the onions and peppers and cook them until soft, about five minutes. Turn the heat to medium.
While the peppers and onions are cooking, slice the tops of the cilantro off and set aside. Finely chop the stalks. Add the stalks to the peppers and onions.
If you will not be cooking this in the oven with the same casserole dish you used for the stovetop cooking, transfer the peppers, onions and cilantro stalks to the dish that will be going into the oven now.
Add the garlic, chilies, coriander and cumin, chickpeas and rice. Stir thoroughly.
Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a bowl or measuring cup. Pour into the casserole dish with the other ingredients, using a colander to catch the pits.
Add the stock and wine (if using). Stir well.
Add the lemon slices and olives (sliced or whole) on top.
Place the chicken on top.
Cover with a lid and place in the preheated oven for one hour (or until the rice and chick peas are tender).
Remove from oven and add the cilantro leaves on top. Serve.

There's also the curious case of Gio Gonzalez, the 27-year-old, Hialeah-native, left-handed hurler who won 21 games last year for the Washington Nationals. Gonzalez's name appears five times in Bosch's notebooks, including a specific note in the 2012 book reading, "Order 1.c.1 with Zinc/MIC/... and Aminorip. For Gio and charge $1,000." (Aminorip is a muscle-building protein.)
Gonzalez's father, Max, also appears on Bosch's client lists and is often listed in conjunction with the pitcher. But reached by phone, the Hialeah resident insists his son has had no contact with Bosch.
"My son works very, very hard, and he's as clean as apple pie," the elder Gonzalez says. "I went to Tony because I needed to lose weight. A friend recommended him, and he did great work for me. But that's it. He never met my son. Never. And if I knew he was doing these things with steroids, do you think I'd be dumb enough to go there?"
Or consider Yuriorkis Gamboa, a rising boxing star who won a gold medal for Cuba in the 2004 Athens Olympics before defecting to Miami two years later. Gamboa has compiled a 22-0 record and has won WBA and IBF featherweight titles since coming to the States.
In the notebook, Bosch outlines an extensive program he was shipping to Gamboa. In addition to protein powders and calcium/magnesium/zinc compounds, he included a six-day-a-week HGH regime, IGF-1, and a cream with 20 percent testosterone.
What's more, Bosch even notes that Gamboa's next bout is scheduled against Brandon Rios the following April and writes, "Start clean-up Dec. 1" — presumably giving the boxer enough time to pass doping tests.
Last week, New Times sent detailed letters outlining the information in Bosch's files to Rodriguez, Cabrera, Cruz, Carrillo, Gonzalez, Colón, and Grandal through their teams. None of the players responded. Odesnik reviewed his mentions in Bosch's files but didn't offer a comment before presstime. Gamboa didn't respond to multiple messages left with his trainer. New Times also sent a letter to Goins with all the details from Bosch's records through the UM media department; he did not respond.
What does it all add up to? Former Biogenesis employees say there's no mystery why these athletes appear in Bosch's records. "He sold HGH and steroids," says the clinic's former secretary. "Everyone who worked there knew that was what our business was."
Today, the blinds are closed at Biogenesis, and although a small printout with the clinic's orange-and-white logo is still taped to the door, fliers from nearby fast-food joints are hung three deep from the doorknob.
Last month, Tony Bosch's partners changed the locks and shut him out over yet another dispute over money.
Bosch didn't respond to multiple emails from New Times, and his cell phone for weeks went directly to a full voicemail box not accepting new messages. Finally, on January 27, he answered but declined to talk about his clinic. "I can't really say anything to you," he said, adding his attorney would be in touch.
Pedro Bosch also failed to respond to multiple emails and to a letter hand-delivered to his home in Coral Gables. Like his son, he briefly answered a call on January 27 but refused to talk. "I saw your questions, but I don't have anything to say," he said.
There's a larger question than simply whether Tony Bosch was helping baseball players juice: Was he breaking the law in the process?
It's not really clear. The FDA has authorized HGH only for a handful of extremely rare conditions and banned it for all other uses, yet a booming anti-aging industry — built almost exclusively on selling HGH to anyone who wants it — has emerged nationwide in the past decade.
Law enforcement has delved into the matter a few times, most notably in a 2007 sting called "Operation Which Doctor" that targeted the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center and several Florida doctors for auto-signing for HGH and testosterone prescriptions without ever seeing patients. That raid ensnared a few ballplayers as well, most famously then-St. Louis Cardinals star Rick Ankiel.
But the raid, led by an Albany, New York district attorney named David Soares, ended up with fewer convictions than expected. The message to the industry was clear: Avoid internet sales and law enforcement will leave you alone.
Besides, doctors have a privilege called "off-label prescribing," which allows them to prescribe drugs for non-FDA-approved purposes in most cases. As long as the docs actually see the patients, they're often in the clear.
Did that happen at Bosch's clinic? None of the employees New Times interviewed ever saw Dr. Pedro Bosch or any other physician in the clinic (several other doctors' names appear in the records). But Tony Bosch did employ a phlebotomist who drew blood from clients that was then sent for analysis. That practice might be enough to put the doctors on the right side of the law.
An Associated Press investigation this past December found another reason why there hasn't been much federal action to crack down on clinics such as Biogenesis. Big Pharma has been reaping a bonanza off HGH as civilian sales have skyrocketed. Last year, U.S. sales of HGH topped $1.4 billion, the AP found — more than drug companies made off penicillin or prescription allergy meds. This despite the fact that endocrinologists estimate fewer than 45,000 people in the nation actually suffer from FDA-approved maladies for the drug. The reason is simple: The feds have stopped prosecuting anti-aging clinics, and many people believe the drug is a fountain of youth despite a lack of medical evidence and warnings it might lead to cancerous growths and diabetes.

- Communication and conflict resolution
- Understanding of who will be owners, owner control and over sight
- Employment & HR policies
- Family councils and meetings
- Utilizing and developing your network

Joe Biden heads out to spread his good cheer among the little people. This time he addressed a group of willing victims in Jersey at yet another fundraiser. There he cheers for Mr. President.
From Joe:
"You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48 percent probability that [bin Laden] was there," said Biden, in Morris Township, New Jersey, according to a White House pool report.
"Do any one of you have a doubt that if that raid failed that this guy would be a one-term president?" he asked. "This guy is willing to do the right thing and risk losing."
Joe, I'll have another cocktail while you're up. 500 years! Forget George Washington, the Founding Fathers (risking a nice day of hanging), Audie Murphy, Rosa Parks demonstrated more courage. You know the list goes on and on.

VIDEO PHOTOS Storage Wars star Barry Weiss's new show Barry'd Treasure
Preview clip and tons of photos from Storage Wars star Barry Weiss's spin-off series Barry'd Treasure premiering tonight!
Preview clip and tons of photos from Storage Wars star Barry Weiss's spin-off series Barry'd Treasure premiering tonight!
A&E officially announced today that the original band of storage locker warriors will be back for another round as Storage Wars Season 5 premieres March 18 with two brand new back-to-back episodes starting at 9/8c. Although fans will be seeing bidding mainstays Brandi, Jarrod, Casey, Rene, Darrell and Ivy doing battle, they won't be treated to more antics from charismatic jokester Barry Weiss — not until 10/9c that is! Yupppp! Barry Weiss hand landed his own show! Keep reading for all the details.
The original crew of storage locker bidders are back at it again as A&E begins filming Storage Wars Season 5 in and around the Los Angeles area! Keep reading to find out which cast members are definitely going to be back and which beloved bidder appears to have left the show.
In recent seasons, Storage Wars has quietly shuffled in and out some bidders, presumably to find a fitting replacement for Dave Hester. But, new reports claim even more shuffling has gone on behind the scenes — and an actual fan favorite prepares to move on.
We did a post a while back revealing that Storage Wars star Barry Weiss is the "Jewish Godfather" of custom fabricator and fellow reality star Jesse James. At the time all we had were a couple mentions in interviews, but now, thanks to information provided by one of our commenters, we've discovered video evidence of the connection! Check out this video clip of a long-haired Barry attending his godson Jesse James' wedding to Janine Lindemulder in 2002!
Wow! Earlier this week we had Christopher Walken and Tom Waits on the same red carpet, and now my TV faves are colliding as The Real Housewives of New York City's Sonja Morgan, Storage Wars' Barry Weiss, and Breaking Bad's Dean Norris (that's DEA agent Hank Schrader y'all!) were photographed having wine together in the green room at NCC media's New York City Upfront event yesterday!
The only thing on Storage Wars more exciting than watching the bidders pilfer through their purchased storage unit looking for treasure is seeing what kind of contraption Barry Weiss is going to pull up in! Check out Captain Weiss in his latest bizarro vehicle that is part Winnebago, part boat as he invites castmate Brandi Passante in for a tour. Plus, more videos and photos of the "Decoliner" built by custom car designer Randy Grubb!
A&E decided to have a little fun while promoting the current season of their popular reality series Storage Wars, filming a high-budget Hollywood blockbuster style trailer featuring the stars of the show as action/adventure heroes with the clever play-on-words tagline, "Summer Lockbuster: This summer 5 soldiers of fortune battle it out for… stuff!"
But apparently the over-the-top promotion didn't end with the trailer, there was also a comic book! Keep reading to see the Marvelized versions of Jarrod Schulz, Brandi Passante, Darrell Sheets, Dave Hester, auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson, Barry Weiss, and Barry's lil fren, Billy the chimpanzee! KRRRRPOW!
With a guest list that included Creedence Clearwater Revival front man John Fogerty, Neil Diamond, and AI judge Steven Tyler the biggest rock star at the American Idol Season 11 finale event in Los Angeles last night was none other than beat-of-his-own drummer Barry Weiss from the garage sale band of bidders on A&E's Storage Wars! Keep reading for your weekly fix of Barry suavetrulescence.
Storage Wars is the most popular television series in the history of A&E and the network has shown their appreciation with a Hollywood blockbuster style trailer for the show's third season, set to premiere June 5th at 10pm/9c. The trailer features cast members Barry Weiss, Darrell Sheets, Dave Hester and dynamic duo Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz as mercenaries competing for "stuff" with the aid of guns, explosions, a flame thrower, and… a monkey? Keep reading to watch the trailer and check out the two greatest Storage Wars animated gifs of all time!

Determining Stewardship Costs and Raising and Managing Dedicated Funds
Presented by the Missouri Land Trust Coalition
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Jefferson City, Missouri
Missouri Department of Conservation Headquarters
Credit Union Auditorium
The land you save today is the land you will protect tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. And the next day . . . Before accepting this responsibility, land trusts need to be clear about the commitments they undertake today and the promises they make on behalf of future generations. How does a land trust know if they have the resources to protect these lands in the future? How do you calculate the costs of accepting property or conservation easements? How can you prepare for these costs more effectively?
Come join us in learning about tools and practices that will help you make more informed decisions about how you determine stewardship costs and how you manage your land trust's financial assets and dedicated funds. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with your colleagues and learn about key elements in establishing or revising financial and stewardship funding policies to ensure that the promises you make today can be kept tomorrow.
For more information on this Seminar, visit the Ozark Regional Land Trust here >> or The Watershed Land Trust's announcement here >>
Seminar at a Glance:
This one-day seminar is designed for those who manage a land trust's finances and those responsible for the stewardship of the organization's properties and easements. You will gain comprehensive understanding of the main components of funding a sustainable stewardship program: how to calculate stewardship costs and how to raise and manage stewardship funds. Funding both the daily operations of a stewardship program and establishing your stewardship defense fund will be described. You will be given resources like templates, case studies, and examples that can be adapted and applied to reallife applications.
In this one-day seminar on June 9, 2009 you will learn how to do the following:
- Calculate the full stewardship costs of conservation easement and fee land transactions.
- Evaluate potential enforcement and easement defense costs.
- Understand different methods of raising stewardship funds
- Differentiate types of dedicated funds, including stewardship endowments and legal defense funds.
- Develop policies and procedures to raise and manage stewardship funds.

[iPhone] Mulling over Mulled, an iOS puzzler that's quite addictive
Posted By Tucker On May 31, 2013 @ 9:46 AM In iOS | 1 Comment
I'm a sucker for a good puzzle. There's just something about the iPhone format that is the perfect display for puzzle games, and puzzles are the best way to kill time between meetings or on the way to catch a train. So whenever I hear about a new puzzle game, I'm unable to stop myself from checking it out. One game that recently caught my eye was Mulled FREE.
Mulled FREE is a puzzle game developed by Hako Games, which features over 200 puzzles and two game modes.
Sometimes the simplest puzzles are the most fiendish. That's certainly the case with Mulled, a game that's all about moving balls into holes. The goal in each level is simple: move the white ball into the golden-rimmed holes. However, it's not quite as simple as it sounds.
You see, there are these pesky black balls. You can't jump the white balls over the black balls, but you can nudge them over to a vacant space when you push the white ball (or balls) into the path of the black balls. Eventually, you'll move the black balls aside and be able to get the white ball into the goal hole.
Like most iOS puzzle games, Mulled sounds frightfully dull when you describe it out loud to another person. Once you're actually playing it, however, it is quite enjoyable. I'm not sure I'd describe the various wood tables as "amazing," as the app store does. It's all just virtual wood, really, though nicely rendered.
The Version 1.3.x iteration of this game features a new way to play: Challenge Mode, with 100 new levels. Featuring tons of badges and gems to collect, challenge mode differs from classic mode very little. The level designs are pretty darn similar (at least in the early bits), you're just collecting a different kind of reward currency (golden balls versus gems.) Golden balls are used to unlock bonus levels.
Mulled is a simple puzzle, but it still manages to be really addictive. Not only is the quest to get the balls in the hole interesting, but there's a lot of replay value in trying to get the ball into the hole in as few moves as possible. With tons of badges to unlock (plus some secret badges that you have to uncover for yourself), it's hard to put down this puzzle title.
Price: Free
Version reviewed: 1.3.2
Supported OS: Requires iOS 4.0 or later

For years, older people have attributed their aches, pains, and illnesses to the normal aging process. Age is often used as a reason to avoid exercise. But a regular exercise program, regardless of your age, can improve the quality of your life and help you avoid illness, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. As always, you should consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Most people know that with age, come certain physiological changes. Studies show that we lose the following as we age:
Fortunately, regular exercise can help delay some of these changes and give you the energy you need to do everyday activities like walking, shopping, and playing with your grandchildren. Exercise may even help decrease depression and stress, improve mood and self-esteem, and postpone age-related cognitive decline.
Even if you have never exercised before, you can start now. It is what you are doing now that you can change—not what you have been doing all your life.
By adding endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance training into your routine, you will be healthier, happier, and more energetic.
Decades ago, doctors rarely recommended aerobic exercise for older people. But we now know that most people can safely do moderate exercises. Studies have shown that doing aerobic exercise just a few days a week can bring significant improvements in endurance.
Aim to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise—such as brisk walking, bicycling, or swimming—at least five days a week. You do not have to do 30 minutes at once—you can break these sessions up into two 15-minute sessions or three 10-minute sessions. Moderate exercise will cause your heart rate to rise and your breathing to be slightly elevated, but you should still be able to carry on a conversation.
It is not just aging that makes people lose muscle. One of the main reasons older people lose muscle mass is that they stop exercising and doing everyday activities that build muscle.
Building stronger muscles can help protect your joints, strengthen your bones, improve your balance, reduce the likelihood of falls, and make it easier for you to move around in general. Even small changes in your muscle size and strength—ones that you cannot even see—will make things like walking quickly across the street and getting up out of a chair easier to do.
Aim to do strength exercises (eg, weight lifting) every other day, or at least twice a week. For each exercise, do three sets of 8-12 repetitions.
Increasing your overall activity level and doing stretching exercises can markedly improve your flexibility.
To improve the flexibility—or range of motion—of your joints, incorporate bending and stretching exercises into your routine. A good time to do your flexibility exercises is after your strength training routine. This is because you muscles will already be warmed up. Examples of exercises that you may enjoy include Tai chi, yoga, Pilates, and exercises that you do in the water.
By regularly stretching, you will be able to move around easier. You may also feel less stressed, and your posture will improve.
Just becoming more physically active will improve your balance and decrease your risk of falling. If you add some basic balancing exercises to your exercise routine, you will begin feeling more stable on your feet. Balance exercises can be done just about anywhere and usually require no more equipment than a chair.
Keep in mind that if you are having severe problems with balance, it might be due to a medical condition. In this case, talk to your doctor who can assess the situation.
To avoid injury, start slowly. Add one or two sessions a week at first and progress from there as you begin to feel stronger. A doctor, certified physical trainer, or other health professional, can help you develop a program that will be both safe and effective. Check with your local fitness or community center, which may offer exercise classes designed especially for older adults. Check with your doctor if you are planning to participate in vigorous activities.
Remember, it is never too late to start exercising. The sooner you start, the sooner you will start feeling healthier, more energetic, and less stressed.

Australian University Students' Attitudes Towards the Acceptability and Regulation of Pharmaceuticals to Improve Academic Performance

There is currently little empirical information about attitudes towards cognitive enhancement - the use of pharmaceutical drugs to enhance normal brain functioning. It is claimed this behaviour most commonly occurs in students to aid studying. We undertook a qualitative assessment of attitudes towards cognitive enhancement by conducting 19 semi-structured interviews with Australian university students. Most students considered cognitive enhancement to be unacceptable, in part because they believed it to be unethical but there was a lack of consensus on whether it was similar or different to steroid use in sport. There was support for awareness campaigns and monitoring of cognitive enhancement use of pharmaceutical drugs. An understanding of student attitudes towards cognitive enhancement is important in formulating future policy.

Can anyone tell me the distance from the bottom center to the top opening on a 6 gallon better bottle? Any help is appreciated!
Check out his thread. It lists all different dimensions for different types fermenters and freezers. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/ches...8/#post4731043
About 19.25 inches for both the 5 and 6 gallon BB. Add 2 inches if you plan to use the BB stopper and drylock.
Thanks for the info... Sorry to waste your precious 2 minutes, I do know how to use the Internets BTW...
No worries, another case of internet misunderstanding! Just caught me the wrong way I guess... cheers!
ziggi, I did a measurement from the bottom center to the top of the opening. The better bottle has a recessed "punk" that enables you to roll it around on a tennis ball to aerate. That distance is 17 ¾" The overall height was 19 5/16"
Awesome thanks again. I'm having a custom made dry hopper made to to fit in the better bottle... a mesh tube that is inserted down into the carboy. I had it made 16 3/4" long so should have a good inch to get the bung in.

Best New Boobs: Porchia
Go To: Kim Acourt | Porchia | Katy Jackson | Kaylee Carver
- See Porchia's super-sexy pics!
Porchia Chats To ZOO!
How does it feel to own a pair of ZOO's favourite British bangers?
It's amazing! I've just come back from St Tropez with Casey Batchelor. I told her I was going to be in ZOO, so we've been sharing tips - and tits!
Who's got the best pair?
Casey! Hers are massive! And ZOO girls Sammie Pennington and Charlotte McKenna have great ones too.
Naturally, you all hang out naked together...
When girls are with girls, we hardly ever keep our clothes on. We all love each other's boobs. It's all we ever talk about!
Do you get annoyed with blokes always gawping at your cans?
No. I do it to my friends! When I'm talking to Sammie and she's got a low-cut top on, it's hard.
What's the biggest boob you've ever made?
I was working on a TV show and they had a famous footballer in. I assumed he was a runner, so I kept asking him to get my lunch. I got called into the office and was told I'd been ordering around Rodney Marsh! I had to go and apologise!
PUB FACT: Porchia is in talks about joining a girlband.

Dec 22nd, 2012I'm a self taught illustrator from the Philippines. My artworks usually focus on surreal/dreamy looking scenery/subjects/concepts. I do traditional illustrations using pencils,ballpoint pens, colored pencils, watercolors, makeup, coffee and pretty much what ever there is that i can utilize to make an artwork (mixed media etc.) I also do digital paintings and vector/vexel artworks using PS, AI and Paint Tool SAI. My dream is to become a childrens book illustrator. As of today, I'm still trying to find and learn more techniques in drawing to improve my illustrations. =)

May 24th, 2012Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.

Sep 11th, 2012My name is Rick Corbett. I am a graphite and colored pencil portrait artist. I am a self-taught artist. I am also a member of the Woburn Guild of Artists. I am inspired not only by other artists but from life itself. I am inspired by people, textures, smells, sounds, all my senses seem to come alive when I draw. My drawings take me on an artistic journey of self discovery. I feel my soul awaken when I draw. GOD has given me a gift and it's a gift I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's a gift I hope to use to capture the beauty that's in this World. I don't want my drawings to simply be pictures drawn on pieces of paper - I want my drawings to be a celebration of life. My portraits are like my children. I created them and I'm proud of them. I hope to change the way people "see" each other. Everyone is special in their own special way. People trul inspire me. I love to learn about people, I love to learn backgrounds, traditions, and cultures. I think this is why I became a portrait artist, it just seemed natural to me. I believe that every person is beautiful and I hope to bring out that beauty in each portrait I draw. I hope to bring out the person's soul. I thank GOD everyday for the gift HE has given me. It's a gift that I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's one I hope to bring everyone's inner beauty out. It's one that I hope to make us all learn something about ourselves. It's a gift I hope that will bring a smile to someone's face or bring joy in someone's life.

Feb 22nd, 2011Hi! I'm Eldiardo de la Pena, a freelance graphic artist from the Philippines. I love to design and create stuffs that my intuitive faculty perceives. I'm a fan of simple and simplicity. When I tackle a topic, I don't think I'm done until I've found the simplest way to look at it. I think of simplicity as a process. You can't always start there, but you can find it or create more of it as you go. I also think of simplicity as a by-product. It happens when I find the elegant path or the simple truth. Sometimes I see simplicity as a means to an end — where the end is a simpler understanding or a simpler result or a simpler way to share. Sometimes I have to look backward to find simplicity — I can't always find simple up front, but sometimes when I look back, it was there all along, either hidden among the chaos, or I just didn't have the right lens. http://www.facebook.com/eldiardo http://www.facebook.com/AvantJardo http://www.twitter.com/eldiardo http://www.avantjardo.tumblr.com http://be.net/jardo http://www.arachdraid.blogspot.com http://www.jardo.weebly.com

Do you ever invite people for dinner and then the day of the dinner have no desire to cook, clean...and seriously ponder the ramifications of pulling out the paper plates and throwing down some KFC. KFC yeah you know me. (BTW, I hate KFC. I also hate abbreviations).
Gotta run - company is coming in fifteen minutes and I did cook. Two bacon roasted chickens - courtesy of Nat at Hot Off the Garlic Press (http://hotgarlic.blogspot.com/2009/08/bacon-roast-chicken.html), roasted garlic potatoes, honey glazed carrots and egg noodles (my husband not a big potato fan).
I'll also serve the Drunken Layered Apple Cake I made this morning from Warm Bread and Honey Cakes (a new favorite cookbook). I made two cakes this morning one for my brother in law's birthday and one for tonight. Andrew and I delivered the cake this morning. (I made two little mini cupcake size cakes and had one and it is flipping fantastic.)
Flo and Rosemary are bringing bread and a cake as well (no fruit for my hubby) but in case they mess up - I have brownies left over from yesterday too.
Time to get out the real glasses.
Happy Monday.

We had a fabulous stay at the beautiful villa!!!
My boyfriend and I stayed in the lower apartment of Michele and Gabor's villa. It was beautiful, spacious, so comfortable and included all of the amenities listed in the description. We were there for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The entire house surpassed our expectations in every way.
Michele and Gabor suggested an itinerary for us, which was so so helpful. It was the perfect itinerary for the amount of time we were there. They were amazing tour guides from afar. We went to the cave baths which were incredible, and then had a glass of wine at the restaurant with live music outside the baths. We also rode the bobsled over and over until we could make it to the bottom hardly using the breaks! The local restaurants are totally reasonable and had great food. The langos with garlic sauce was our favorite! The town also has a huge playground for kids and a lake with peddle boats.
Nearby is the castle which we really enjoyed. And of course the wine caves in Eger, a short drive away, which had excellent wine, is not to be missed. We can't believe more Hungarian wine isn't exported for sale in the U.S.
In Miskolc, there is a special bridge over a small river where lovers etch their names on a padlock, lock it on the fence of the bridge over the water, and throw away the key in the river, signifying your hearts are locked together forever. It was very romantic and we even found Michele and Gabor's lock!
The caretaker of the villa was such a help in so many ways and very easy to get along with. He was always there when we needed him, ready to lend a helping hand.
I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful and amazing home. We had an incredible experience and hope to go back again soon!

Texture Atlas Generator
This script generates a texture atlas out of the selected objects, and manipulates their UVs (and if necessary, their geometry as well). Currently only Multimaterials and/or Standardmaterials (with bitmaps in diffuse channel!) supported.
Texture atlasses especially are important for real time applications and game development. Check http://developer.nvidia.com/object/texture_atlas_tools.html to see performance comparisons.
- geometry slicing
- padding
- simple packing algorithm
- editing many objects at once, thus creating only one atlas for all of them
If feedback is positive, 3d-io would consider transforming this script into a much faster and better plugin, developed in C++.
Example for a generated texture atlas:
This script adds a single button to your Interface. When you click it, a rollout appears. Usage:
- Disable Undo: Should be checked, especially when working with big meshes.
- Generate Messages: Produces some interesting statistical data in the MAXScript Listener.
- Ignore Warnings: If you check this option, you won't be asked to stop or continue when there are errors in the UVs and/or in the meshes
- Slice Geometry and Generate UVs: This option will manipulate the UV coordinates of all selected models, so they fit to the texture atlas that will be generated. Meshes with texture coordinates lower than 0 or bigger than 1 are not really suitable for producing a texture atlas, because texture atlasses don't support tiled textures. Thus, this option will slice those meshes and move the texture chunks in such way that the coords are all in the range 0...1.
- Break all Edges: Normally, TexAtlasGen tries to keep texture chunks together where possible, which is very slow, as it tests every edge's position. With this option, you can break all edges, which is faster, but will increase KB size of the mapchannel. This option has no impact on UV mapped models, like characters.
- Create: If you don't want to create an atlas, disable this option
- No padding: This checkbox is only available if you don't generate the UVs (see above). It will prevent TexAtlasGen to add any padding for the individual textures in the atlas and thus will be much faster. If you want to have a fast overview of the textures, use this option.
- Choose Path & Filename: Where you want to have your texture atlas saved.
- Padding: The amount of padding around any tiled texture. Won't have any effect on UV maps.
- Shrink in Atlas: When checked, any texture in the atlas with padding will be resized so the original texture size persists. For example, if you have a 64x64 texture and set padding to 2, the texture will be resized to 60x60, with a padding border of 2 on every side. If you deactivate this option, the size of this texture in the atlas would be 68x68.
- Generate Texture Atlas: Let the magic begin.

Finicky, but life saving
Huge thanks to 3D-io for making this and making it free.
With that said allow me to save you some smashing your head against the wall time with some things I found out the hard way.
- Geometry you're atlasing needs to be converted to an Editable Poly otherwise it will generate an error. Collapse your modifiers as well for best results.
- ALL GEOMETRY that is being atlased MUST be assigned a material with a bitmap in the diffuse slot, otherwise it will throw the vague error saying there's a problem with the material.
- Unlike what the GIF suggests, it apparently will not auto-assign the new texture to the geometry when finished. You have to make a new material, assign it the new texture and apply it to the geometry being atlased.
Inefficient packing?
Hi there! I am finding this script very useful in many ways, however, I continue notice huge spaces without any textures. Case in point: I recently generated an atlas that requires a 2048x2048 (because one of the textures is over 1024, so I totally understand that), however, there's a huge empty space that could easily be cropped out. I measured it in an image editor, and determined that a 2048x1024 sized chunk could have been eliminated. I have seen TAG create non-square atlases before, so I'm at a loss.
In general, it would be great if we could have more control over the size of the outputs. Say I want to create multiple atlases with a max size of 1024 (instead of some huge image that an engine can't handle). I'm dealing with literally hundreds of images, so doing this by hand is out of the question. Especially when game development requires lots of iteration and changes on a daily basis!
Thanks so much for any help you can provide! I included a downsized sample image to show what I mean.
Also, if it dynamically rotated textures to get a better pack, that would be sweet. I often see much wasted space when atlasing non-modular uv shapes.

Not works of course
It not works of course. It sends couldn't be sliced messages while every maps are between 0,1 that 100%, also f up the uvw maps. Tried with multiple models, nowhere worked.
where is the button ?
hi, I have studio max 2009 and I included the script as instructions but can not find any buttons.
I hope someone can give me a help thanks
Hi. This script is what I
This script is what I have been looking for for a while. It is fantastic, even if I'm getting some errors :P.
I've bought a low poly street traffic library. Each cars comes in a single mesh with a high number of textures that represent differentes parts of the vehicle. I need to pack them into unique textures per car and this scripts does most of the job, I want to use them in realtime aplications.
The material of each car is a MULTIMATERIAL and seems that the scrit does not like them. So I run first a "Detach by mat ID" script and then I'm able to merge them into unique texture. Now the detach by id script gives me error in some mesehs so I cant perform the atlas operation in all of the models, It wouuld be a hot feature to be able to work with a single mesh with a multimaterial aplied as it is quite common in realtime to attach differente meshes into one and have as a result an unique multimaterial mesh, and would be fantastic to have its material "baked" into a unique texure.
I also miss the hability to control the final output image size, would be nice to be able to set an output final size or be able to make it multiple of 256, filling the unused space with black color would be enough.
just this,
i think o got the same
i think o got the same problem with residenninja. yes, i also got an error message same like what residenNinja experienced.
What i meant is the 3d
What i meant is the 3d object model was design by some ppl using autocad and they convert it to .3ds with the texture attached. the problem is when i was about to texture them ,since the object was texture with so many improper texturing methods. almost all off them were tiled because the texture resolution are too small and there are so many texture image involve. so i just need one texture consist of all others in one template.
can anyone tell me how to
can anyone tell me how to generate this script? n how to open the textgen menu option? im new to scripting stuff but i do need this to generate UV coordinates since i got so many to place the UV one by one to their textures...anyone can help? im using 3ds MAX 9
