The Brewers continue their homestand with three games against NL West leader Arizona. The series marks the first meeting between the two teams in '08; the Brewers were 5-2 against the NL West champion D-backs last year.
Pitching Probables:
Monday, 6/02, 7:05 p.m. CT: LHP Doug Davis (2-2, 4.57) vs. RHP Jeff Suppan (3-4, 3.93)
Tuesday, 6/03, 7:05 p.m. CT: LHP Randy Johnson (4-1, 3.83) vs. RHP Seth McClung (2-2, 4.80)
Wednesday, 6/04, 1:05 p.m. CT: RHP Micah Owings (6-3, 4.17) vs. LHP Manny Parra (3-2, 4.72)
Things to look for:
1. How will fans react to former Brewer Doug Davis' return to Miller Park? Davis, whose career was salvaged off the scrap heap by the Brewers, was dealt to the Diamondbacks before the start of the 2007 season. Fans remember his inconsistency and hope that he's off on Monday.
2. Does Randy Johnson still have the stuff that has handcuffed Brewers' hitters in the past?
3. Can the Crew get runs against Micah Owings, who sports a 3-1, 3.52 mark outside of Chase Field in '08?

If yes, then I say go for it! Youtube bloggers are cool and fun to watch imo.
No offense, but commentating on gaming reminds me of talk shows and golf, both put me to sleep. You would be targeting a specific audience too, commentate on how bad McDonald's is then I'll support your idea to the fullest
Unless you commentate like these guys. Link
Day[9] provides a very good way on showing how you commentate on games except his game is StarCraft 2. (and the reason he does a very good job was that he played extensively and has an extremely high rank and has done extremely well in professional tournaments). Nonetheless, how he commentates the game itself is a very good framework of how a good commentary of games should be done.
Here's a really good example (this is like an hour long so grab some popcorn if you want to watch the whole thing through):Link

BHP said total petroleum production for the fiscal year ending June 30 was up 4 percent year-on-year to 246 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. The Australian company said in a financial report operations in U.S. shale helped boost the output.
"Onshore U.S. liquids production increased by 23 percent in the June 2014 quarter and we expect to carry strong momentum into the 2015 financial year as shale liquids volumes are forecast to increase by over 17 million boe in the period," the report said.
The company said the bulk of its onshore investments targeted the Eagle Ford shale play in the southern part of the United States. Roughly 75 percent of the $4.2 billion in drilling expenses targeted that play. Eagle Ford output during the 2014 financial year was mostly in the form of crude oil.
The company's natural gas focus in the United States was in the Haynesville and Fayetteville reserve areas, where the company spent about $600 million in capital expenses, down more than 30 percent year-on-year.

Remote Control for Toy CarRohan B. RebelloMake any battery-operated toy car remote-controlled using this circuit. The circuit, consisting of an infrared transmitter-receiver pair, uses IR beam transmission to switch the toy car 'on' or 'off '. To operate the toy car, you need to hold the transmitter in your hand, keeping it pointed at the toy car which has the receiver fitted inside, and simply press a switch provided on the transmitter. The transmitter works off 9V DC, while the receiver needs 6V DC. Fig. 1 shows the transmitter circuit. It is built around two BC558 transistors (T1 and T2), ,three BC548 transistors (T3, T4 and T5), IR LED1 and a few discrete components. Fig. 1: Transmitter circuit Fig. 2 shows the receiver circuit. It is built around IR receiver module TSOP1738, two BC548 transistors (T6 and T7) and a few discrete components. In the transmitter circuit, there are two astable multivibrators. The first, built around transistors T1 and T2, produces a frequency of about 1.2 kHz. The second, built around transistors T3 and T4, produces about 38 kHz. IR LED1 is used to transmit the 38kHz frequency. Fig. 2: Receiver circuit In the receiver circuit, TSOP1738 receives the IR signal transmitted by IR LED1 of the transmitter circuit. The output of TSOP1738 is fed to transistor T6 via diode D1. The amplified signal is further given to relay-driver transistor T7. Relay RL1 energises to control the toy car. Working of the circuit is simple. Initially, when no IR beam is falling on sensor TSOP1738, the relay remains de-energised and the toy car doesn't move. When switch S1 is pressed, the IR beam falls on TSOP1738 and its output goes low. Transistor T6 cuts off and transistor T7 conducts to energise relay RL1 and move the toy car. Assemble both the circuits on separate PCBs. Enclose the transmitter PCB in a suitable cabinet, with IR LED1 affixed on the front side and switch S1 on the top of the cabinet. Keep the 9V battery inside the cabinet. Enclose the receiver PCB inside the toy car, with TSOP1738 fitted such that the transmitted IR beam directly falls on it. Fix switch S2 on the body of the car and the relay inside the car. Use a 6V battery to operate the toy car receiver unit. Related Circuits

First part of your query is not clearly understood. If you are talking about the motor supply wires, the two wires can be connected to a 6V or 12V DC source depending on the motor used. Both the values of capacitors C1 and C2 should be read as 0.01uF instead of 0.01-ohm. These values will be corrected very shortly. Reply

Mark Wills Making Return, Taking Control Over Career
Aug. 10, 2014
(Undated) -- Mark Wills says he hasn't been out of the spotlight by choice. The singer tells "Country Weekly" that since his 2011 release he's had two record deals that "fell apart" due to internal problems within the companies. But he says that won't happen again, because he's making his next album on his own. Mark adds that he's grateful for the opportunity to select his own songs and production team, so he doesn't have to "worry about all the other stuff on the side" that has kept him from getting his music on the radio "for the past ten years." He says all those hurdles will now be things he has "direct control over."
Wills doesn't say when fans can expect new music from him. But he explains that his upcoming release will feature an updated version of is signature sound, and the songs should blend in well with current country hits.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 11/18/2012 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
NEW YORK -- So much for a two-week break. Just over a week since the last set of failed negotiations, the NHL and the locked-out players' association will return to the bargaining table Monday.
Conversations that restarted Friday between NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr produced enough positive movement Saturday to set up another face-to-face meeting that the sides hope will lead to an agreement to save the hockey season.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman suggested to union executive director Donald Fehr this week that the sides take two weeks off from negotiations. The union maintained its desire to keep talking, and now bargaining is back on.
"We can confirm that we have tentatively agreed to get back together on Monday, either late in the afternoon or early evening," Daly said. "The meeting was requested by the union and it's their agenda. We will see what they have to tell us."
Owners and players met for several consecutive days last week in New York, but made little progress. Negotiations ended in an angry exchange last Friday, but bargaining resumed two days later only to break off again in just over an hour.
Staying apart never appeared to be a good option, and the NHL now seems to agree.
All games through Nov. 30 have already been taken off the schedule, more cancellations are likely within a week, the Winter Classic has been wiped out, the All-Star game is the next big event in jeopardy, and the whole season could be lost, too, in the blink of an eye if a new deal can't be hammered out.
The players have stuck to their position that negotiations are the only way to work out differences, and that they are willing to meet any time the NHL wants to.
The NHL contends that the union has submitted the same proposal multiple times without moving in the league's direction. The union says it has agreed to come down from receiving 57 per cent of hockey-related revenues to a 50-50 split. The league wants that to go into effect in the first year of the agreement, while the union wants to get there gradually.
Seven years ago, after the entire 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout, the players' association accepted a salary-cap system for the first time. The union feels it shouldn't have to bear the brunt of the concessions now after league revenues reached a record high of over US$3 billion last season.
This 63-day lockout has claimed 327 regular-season games, and hope of a new deal and the start of the already-shortened season -- likely of 68 games per team -- on Dec. 1 has started to wane.
It is more than just finances preventing a deal. The disagreements over player contract terms have emerged as just as big an impasse.
The NHL wants to limit contracts to five years, make rules to prohibit back-diving contracts the league feels circumvent the salary cap, keep players ineligible for unrestricted free agency until they are 28 or have eight years of professional service time, cut entry-level deals to two years, and make salary arbitration after five years.
Once those issues are settled, the sides will then have to figure out who will cover the financial damage the lockout will ultimately do to this season.
Players missed their third pay day of the season Thursday.

[[quoteright:202:[[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/odie-tongue_1321.png]]]]
A character with a tongue of surprising, implausible, or downright impossible length.
A JustifiedTrope in certain cases -- say, a mutation or non-human anatomy -- but in other cases this is left completely unexplained (and usually PlayedForLaughs). The lucky person in possession of this tongue frequently has a surprising amount of control over it, and may even use it as a weapon. Depending on the intended audience, female characters may ''greatly'' admire said tongue and muse on what else it could do.
Characters without this feature may [[MetaphoricMetamorphosis suddenly develop one]], often in tandem with a JawDrop, when startled, screaming, or confronted with HelloNurse.
Naturally, a major [[RuleThirtyFour trigger]] of PowerPerversionPotential. Use of this trope may also cause a character to be labeled a MemeticMolester character by the fans, or have this trait given to characters who don't have this trait in canon in fanworks.
* In the Advertising/{{Orangina}} fur-I mean [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bi3erz2Ek8 commercial]], one of the species dancing is a chameleon (in Chippendale clothing even!), and he extends his tongue around a plant girl.
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Orochimaru -- with and without two-edged sword for extra amusement.
** The toad summons, of course.
* The [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Negi]] golem drawn by Haruna, with a 23.5cm tongue. It's implied it could've been even ''[[FreudWasRight worse]]''...
* Nnoitra Jiruga of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' gets a freakishly long tongue in his released form.
* All vampires in ''{{Hellsing}}'' have long tongues to lick up blood.
* In the ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'' manga, Sumomo's [[CuteMonsterGirl Pokopenian form]] has one of these, long enough to wrap around Fuyuki's body several times (she apparently doesn't quite "get" the concept of a French kiss) [[http://s02.mpcdn.net/manga/p/2718/187727/22.jpg as seen here]]
* Claude of ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'' as shown in episode 5 when he used it to lick cream from the middle of his nose.
* Shizuku of ''OmamoriHimari'' has this as a snake-girl.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** Tambourine, one of King Piccolo's children showed he had this ability which he used to attempt to constrict Goku to death.
** Buyon also has one which he mostly uses to scoop things up to eat.
* Jimushi Juubei from ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'' has this and [[spoiler:[[HiddenWeapons a weapon concealed in his throat]]]] to use with it.
* Baikinman from ''{{Franchise/Anpanman}}. It's bright blue and perfect for slurping up the contents of the Donburiman Trio in one go.
* Often used in ''Manga/OnePiece'' in partnership with the WildTake and EyePop for comical effect.
* ''{{Toriko}}'':
** [[BigBad Midora's]] fighting style plays this trope to downright insane levels.
** The Salamander Sphinx also has a long tongue.
* [[AxCrazy Legato Bluesummers]] from ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' has a page dedicated to his tongue. It looks freaky as hell.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* A frog-like minor ''ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'' villain called Ze Tongue.
* [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Venom's]] insanely long tongue (and the toothy mouth surrounding it) is the main distinction between him and black-suit-Spidey. Well, that and the muscle mass...
* ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' villain The Toad.
* The alien commander's girlfriend in ''Film/BattlefieldEarth''. Played by John Travolta's wife, who presumably doesn't have that tongue in reality, though it would explain how their marriage holds up.
* [[StarWars Jar Jar Binks]], [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090929224439/banthapedia/images/c/c7/Jar_Jar.jpg as seen here]].
* In ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'', Creator/JimCarrey as Wiploc proves he has a long tongue by using it to retrieve ice from the bottom of a tall glass. Valerie's friend exclaims "I want his baby" on seeing this.
* The Rome sequence in ''Film/HistoryOfTheWorldPartI''. While pretending to be a eunuch, Josephus (Gregory Hines) is tested by having a woman perform an erotic dance in front of him. He gives himself away by having his very long tongue plop out of his mouth as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNJ7zYRP0mU here]].
* The velociraptors in the stop-motion animation storyboard version of ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', before they were informed that the raptors didn't have tongues like that.
* The aliens from ''Film/WhamBamThankYouSpaceman'' has them where their noses should be.
* ''Film/XMen'':
** Toad's tongue with added mucus.
** In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', a kid is briefly seen sticking out a long, blue-black tongue at a girl in a museum, showing he's a mutant.
** Viper from ''Film/TheWolverine''. Required for a snake woman.
* Pairing this trope with InOneEarOutTheOther by having someone sexy seductively stick their tongue into someone else's ear is practically a minor stock trope in of itself in spoof movies, appearing as it does in such films as ''Mafia!'', ''Wrongfully Accused'' and ''Dance Flick''.
* Lilith from ''Film/BordelloOfBlood'', and it's strong enough to burst a man's heart out of his chest.
* Sammael from the first ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' film has a tongue that is freakishly long. It is also split at the end, prehensile, and can be used to lay eggs.
* The Tree Demon from ''[[ChineseGhostStory A Chinese Ghost Story]]'' has a tongue that chases and attacks the heroes from quite a distance.
* The demon in ''Film/ViolentShit''.
* The hybrids in the ''Film/{{Species}}'' series, culminating in a gory example of InOneEarOutTheOther in ''The Awakening''.
* The frog monsters in ''Film/ScoobyDooCurseOfTheLakeMonster'' have prehensile tongues.
* TheCompanyOfWolves: Rosaleen's love interest in the end is a werewolf and has a long, canine like creepy tongue.
* ''Film/HellraiserInferno''. When the Wire Twins Cenobites make out with Joseph, they lick him with unnaturally long tongues.
* In ''Film/{{Rio}} 2'', we have Charlie the anteater. Whose tongue is used for all kinds of things, from boat propeller to slingshot elastic.
* Dudley Dursley in ''Literature/HarryPotter''. Of course, that was a temporary prank...
* Crowley in ''Literature/GoodOmens'', Apparently he can do "interesting things" with it.
* The vampires in ''Literature/TheStrain'' subvert this. The things coming out of their mouths aren't tongues, but venom stingers that grow in their throats.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** The Denobulans. In one episode of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', Denobulan Dr. Phlox is seen using a tongue scraper to groom it.
** The pilot episode has Malcolm Reed amazed by a couple of beautiful alien dancers with long tongues that they shoot out to catch butterflies.
* Divatox from ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', albeit used sparingly.
* The chameleon-themed Mele / Camille from ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger''/''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury''.
* Ka D'Argo of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', whose long tongue can also be used as a weapon to inject paralyzing venom.
* Giggerota of ''{{Lexx}}''.
* ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'':
** Androvax has quite a tongue. Anyone he [[BodySnatcher jumps into]] also gains one.
** So do the Silurians of ''Series/DoctorWho'', at least in the 21st-century show, as was [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar memorably]] [[PowerPerversionPotential demonstrated]] by Madame Vastra in "A Good Man Goes To War".
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Doc, a demon in human form in "The Weight of the World" and "The Gift". He uses his tongue for fighting.
[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* As pictured above, [[{{Garfield}} Odie]].
* Bill the Cat in ''BloomCounty'', at least when he leads the metal band Deathtöngue (later Billy and the Boingers).
* One of the aliens in Bally's ''Pinball/SpaceInvaders'' pinball game has a tongue three times longer than its head.
* Gene Simmons in ''Pinball/{{KISS}},'' of course.
* Sparky in ''Pinball/{{Metallica}}'', whose tongue goes from his mouth down to his left wrist.
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* Characters in ''TabletopGame/InNomine'' can learn a suite of Songs called Numinous Corpus, which allow the performer to augment his or her body in various ways. One of these Songs is Numinous Corpus: Tongue. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Three guesses what it does.]]
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'': Everything Slaanesh-affiliated will likely have this. Genestealers also have long tongues that are almost always shown hanging out of their mouths; justified, as a genestealer's tongue is an ovipositor used to deliver a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong to its victims.
* In ''Theatre/LaCageAuxFolles'', Phaedra "the Enigma" shows off a gag tongue.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros''.
** Yoshi, starting with his debut in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''.
** Shadow Mario is briefly shown to have one in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
** Belome in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG''. Mallow says of him, "Is that a fire hose or his tongue?"
* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'':
** The Smoker. Justified in that it's his ''intestines'', if WordOfGod is to be believed.
** In ''Left 4 Dead 2'' the Smoker is more grotesquely mutated, having ''six'' tongues coming out of several places on his head, neck, and shoulders. He still only uses the one coming out of his mouth to attack with though.
* {{Pokemon}}
** Lickitung and its evolution Lickilicky are known for their long sticky tongues.
** Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar also.
** Golbat, as seen in ''Red'' and ''Blue''.
** And Kecleon and Politoed, as they are a chameleon and frog.
** Greninja, also based on a frog, uses its tongue as a scarf.
* ''SilentHill'' has [[MemeticMolester Pyramid Head]].
* Grump-Frump, the Tasting Gnome in ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVI''.
* Reptile in ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.
* Busuzima in the ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' games has an extra-long tongue...in ''human'' form.
* ''VideoGame/ChameleonTwist'' and its sequel, naturally. Davy and [[PaletteSwap his friends]] use their tongues to swallow enemies for spitting, polevault, latch onto and drag themselves to objects (in the sequel), and [[AccidentalInnuendo wrap around poles]] for travel...Did I mention one of Davy's friends is a a girl comedian?
* Ghirahim from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' has one, which freaks Link out when Ghirahim lashes it out while leaning his head on Link's shoulder.
* The Fear from ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Metal Gear Solid 3]]'' has a longer tongue than a human though it's not used for the usual grabbing of objects. He merely sticks it all the way out to be creepy. This could have been a way to take [[MetalGearSolid2 Vamp's]] long tongue UpToEleven.
* Trigger Happy from ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}''. Even more so Wrecking Ball, who lashes his tongue out to attack.
* [[SerialKiller Genocider Syo]] in ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa.''
** Also in ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' some of [[spoiler: Junko Enoshima's]] sprites.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'''s Sting Chameleon uses his tongue to hang from the ceiling and as a nasty fast [[WhipItGood whip.]]
* The Licker enemy in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' and various other games. It's signature attack is using an absurdly long tongue to whip anything it wants to attack, driving it with enough force to impale a prey item with it. They are heavily mutated T-Virus infected humans.
* Level 3 of ''[[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Ghouls'n Ghosts]]'' has extensible monster tongues that are used as platforms.
[[folder:Web Animation]]
* CharlieTheUnicorn's "friends" have long, prehensile tongues... {{Squick}}!
* ''{{Blockhead}}''
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* "Legs" from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' is an armless, wingless[[note]]vestigial stubs, technically[[/note]] quasi-bird alien, who possesses a several-yards-long prehensile tongue. It comes in handy surprisingly often.
** [[IncrediblyLamePun Especially since she often uses it in place of hands.]]
* Rare female example with ''Webcomic/GaiGin'''s Gin, [[http://www.gai-gin.com/comic_0177.shtml apparently]].
* [[http://www.schoolbites.net/d/20100122.html Fujiko]] of ''Webcomic/SchoolBites''.
* [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/tipofhertongue/ Monica]] of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare''.
** Although [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/get-a-room/ it may be slightly exaggerated here]].
* The [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Nicoletti siblings]] in ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' all have unusually long, flexible tongues. [[http://bigfootzillareptoid.tumblr.com/post/13395175150/preview-of-newest-comic Especially Shaun.]]
* Ben from ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'' can lick his own eyebrow. Justified since he's a bear. [[http://www.rhjunior.com/goblin-hollow-0330/ It causes an interesting reaction when the cousin of his future wife witnesses it.]]
* A ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' side story shows that Maxim can lick bloody wounds that are nowhere near his face. The fangirls were intrigued.
* [[http://hexenringe.blogspot.jp/2013/10/002-prologue-2.html The Blarg]] from ''Webcomic/{{Hexenringe}}'' has a {{Kaiju}}-sized frog tongue.
* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', Ren's tongues (plural) aren't as long as the other examples on this page but are still about half the length of his body. Also [[SnicketWarningLabel you do not want]] to see them.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''Music/{{Gorillaz}}'':
** Bassist Murdoc Niccals, who was loosely based on Gene Simmons of RealLife band Music/{{KISS}}.
** 2D's tongue is long enough to stick up his nose.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Gene Simmons again, in a brief gag--his tongue goes off screen, followed by Lois (also from off-screen): "Oh, ''hello'', Gene..."
** In an earlier episode, the normal-looking girl at the flag girl tryouts has her long tongue flop out when she tries to respond to Meg.
* Speaking of [[OverlyLongGag Gene Simmons]], long-tongued, rock god Rock Zilla from ''WesternAnimation/MyDadTheRockStar'' was not only an {{Expy}} of Gene, the show was created by Gene Simmons.
* Sniffles, a remarkably clever anteater in ''WesternAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' obviously makes use of this trope. However, it is often attacked by the Ant Family in horrifyingly sadistic ways.
* All three of the title characters of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' seems to have one, all the better for eating the oversized jawbreakers they're so fond of.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** Starfire has this as part of her BizarreAlienBiology.
** A talking alien dog had this in another episode, as shown when he licked Raven's face.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** June's Shirshu have a very long tongue that might have been prehensile and provided InstantSedation.
** ''Toph'' of all people has one [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/marikunin/6676517/245590/245590_original.jpg in the comics]].
* Drew Saturday's EvilTwin from ''TheSecretSaturdays''
* Scratchy on ''TheItchyAndScratchyShow'' has a tongue so long that it can be shot via rocket to the moon without him even noticing it.
* ''TheSimpsons'':
** In one of the Halloween episodes Homer messes around with the time space continuum and changes evolution drastically, and finally comes back home thinking everything is normal... only to see everyone eating by using their long frog-like tongues. He shrugs and decides [[CloseEnoughTimeline it's close enough.]]
*** In another Halloween episode, Groundskeeper Willie uses his tongue in Martin's dream to asphyxiate him, killing him in the real world.
** Mr. Burns is shown to have a long snake-like tongue in the series.
*** So has Homer. He once darted a lengthy tongue out to lick a stray gob of ice cream off Marge's cheek.
*** It's a joke made also in the Simpsons Movie.
* ''InvaderZim''.
* In Creator/TexAvery's "Deputy Droopy", a hapless safe robber gets glued to the floor, then has a stick of TNT shoved in his gob. He stretches his tongue out two miles to allow it to explode without waking the sleeping sheriff.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':
** The first of Minerva Mink's many takes when she sees a male mink she's attracted to has her tongue making a huge pile on the ground.
** Dot Warner also extends her tongue to great lengths to try to get a pastry, even when it's wrapped around her.
* Newton from ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'' seems to have one, mostly when he's just a small newt who has not consumed Zippo yet.

Problems? Is your data what you think it is? | |

( #3333=superdoc: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Okay, you say that goto &SUB doesn't create a new stack frame, so let's test it shall we:
Run the code twice, one with tail as an arg, and one with nontail, here is what I get on Perl 5.6.1: Clearly, the nontail calls (goto &SUB) creates new stack frames while the goto LABEL doesn't. So, to *correctly* implement tail calls, I think goto &SUB is improper. As for speed, and carrying this example, one can see that the tail call is faster than the nontail call: However, in this example we have two functions calling each other, so perl might not optimize that. As for using computed values for goto (ie goto "label value", you can do a jump table. Basically, you have a segment of the code that looks something like this: Update: I agree with samtregar that the reason might not be a creation of a new stack frame. I don't know if this is by design or a bug. However, goto LABEL does not leak: it can run forever juggeling from label to another and *can* be used to create proper tail recursion.

Ok so putting my Neu 4300 5s 25/50c
Using a FMA CellPro 10s w/ v2.24 firmware. Fan kicked on for a second when powered up and the screen said, safe to connect charging w/ accurate charge, chose chg. @ 1c Once started charging, scrolling though, screen said, 1 pack charge lipo set @ 1c, scrolling again, said, Ch 1 lipo fast C. starting fuel gauge=47% / pack voltage=19.68v (for 5s) starting v per cell 1) 3.914v 2) 3.914v 3) 3.914v 4) 3.914v 5) 3.914v starting IR per cell 1) -- m & omega symbol 2) -- 3) -- m & omega symbol 4) -- 5) -- m & omega symbol I assume on the screen that cells 2 & 4 probably dont have the m & omega symbol next to them because there isnt room for them on the right of the numbers. After about 24 min.s all the V for the cells were still identical to each other but the IR readings were as follows; 1) 10.8 m & omega symbol 2) 11.4 3) 12.9 m & omega symbol 4) 12.7 5) 12.5 m & omega symbol It took about 2 hours to charge at 1c to get to 99% according to the fuel gauge. All 5 cells are at 4.204v, total 21.022v, 2,074mah back in. But the IR are as follows; 1) 9.5 2) 9.0 3) 9.6 4) 9.6 5) 8.7 So w/ IR #s that high, I guess the battery is toast, right? And will following any advise from the my lipo is dead thread help in a case like this? Thanks, Bob |

I answered in your other thread. But, yes those IR values indicate a true C rating closer to 12c. When shopping for new packs, you might find this chart interesting.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=163 |
What I get from the chart is that there doesn't seem to be much difference between lipos labeled w/ a 25c rating and a 60c rating, except zippys and such. Too bad, I bought a 5s 5000 40c lipo to replace this one (the Neu 5s 4300 pk). Although I'm not going to be drawing 180 amps from it. My sys only pulls 90-100 amps. So 5 (A) * 40 (c) = 200. Even if it's less than that, say 30c, I should be ok to pull what I will be pulling on it. I just have to break it in and do some 1 minute motor runs to be able to calculate the proper run time and calculate the amount of mah's it takes to fully recharge it so I can then calculate how much run time I will have to not go below 80% depletion, and not fly til the LVC kicks in. Say do you have any idea when using a motocalc program such as;
http://www.brantuas.com/ezcalc/dma1.asp if the 'full throttle duation' in min.'s takes into account the 80% rule, or is that until the pack is fully depleted? Thanks, Bob |

I looked at that program and while it looks interesting, I suspect that many of the values would need to be estimated or guessed. I would rather get some real world test data from the model. |
When you say you looked at the program, I assume you are talking about the Diversity Model Aircraft motocalc program http://www.brantuas.com/ezcalc/dma1.asp Since my motor (a Neu 1510.5/1Y which has a 3250kv) isn't on the list, I used the Neu 1512/1.5D which has a kv of 3200. I figured it was close enough. Then I input the 6.7 gb, 16x10 folding prop, 5s 4300 lipo, C.C. 125 esc, which yielded 95 amps, and 2:43 full throttle run time. Again, do you think that is run time is til the pk is empty or do you think they take the 80% rule in account? I would think the former. |

No idea, you'd have to contact the author to find out. If it was done correctly it would have used 80% or better yet provide a variable amount as some modelers prefer to use discharge to either higher or lower numbers.

Can anyone give me the size specs for the fan inside the 10XP case? Mine has been crapping out for quite some time (actually started ~2mo after purchasing the charger) and now rarely works even under a heavy load. Seems like the bushing went out.
Is this something I can relatively easily replace myself or should the charger be sent back into FMA? Thanks |
If it's under warranty-send it back, if not DIY depending on how handy you are at such things. If it's not under warranty, you could open it up to measure it. Then you could see if the fan plugs in a board or is soldered. If soldered you could just clip the wires (but mark them first) and take the fan out yourself (since it doesn't work anyway) and take it to a place that sells such fans and match one up. If it's not in the manual I doubt the average person would know the spec's on the fan. Maybe it's best to call FMA and ask them if you feel you need to know before going to look for one.
The fan on the 10XP is easily replaced, 4 bolts hold it to the top panel, 4 screws hold the top panel in place. The fan plugs into the main circuit board. Just make sure you route the wires like they were originally to keep the fan power wires from hitting the fan.

Excellent fan, of which I have installed 3 or 4. The stock ones in the charger are crap. If you send it in for warranty they'll probably replace it with the same crap fan. Bob |
hey guys just got myself a cellpro 10xp after my trusty accucell 6 finally crapped oout after close to 6 years of horrid abuse and use, and i must say it is rather nice if not a bit of a curve to learn to use but anyway i just noticed today that the lcd has a couple line that seem to be faded compared to the rest of the display. is this a known defect or issue or am i just seeing things/did something/being stupid here?
Prolly not the latter. I doubt it's common. If you just bought it, you should prolly use the warranty card to send it to FMA or talk to the distributor and exchange it.
well i'm just asking because i can see it fine it just those two lines are a bit faded (like the two lines are at 50 or 40% contrast while the rest is 60%)
everything else is perfectly functional and fine it's just a quirk as far as i am concerned |
That is a bit hard to visualize as the display is only a two line display. Could your elaborate a bit? A good picture would be helpful too. Glen |
i dont mean character lines i mean pixel lines

1998 Ford F-150 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 49 reviews
Once again, the 1998 Ford F-150 topped the U.S. truck market in sales. The perennial favorite continued to depend on its ruggedness, reliability, and variety of choices for buyers. Trims available were the XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat; short-bed and long-bed versions, as well as stepside and styleside choices, were offered for each incarnation of the '98 Ford F-150.
Inside the 1998 Ford F-150, the watchword was "comfort." Cab choices included 2-door and 3-door standard and extended cabs, and CD systems were a popular option. Under the hood, the accent was on power; the 98 Ford F-150 offered buyers a choice among a 4.6 liter Essex V-6, a 4.6 liter Triton V8, and a 5.4 liter Triton V-8 topping out at 235 horsepower. Optional four-wheel drive with automatic locking hubs made this tough pickup a favorite with off-road adventurers.

By Richard LeeThe Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative and the global civil society network CIVICUS, World Alliance for Citizen Participation have urged the Commonwealth to bring Swaziland under the scrutiny of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group for persistent and serious violations of Commonwealth values.
The two groups called for action because of the authorities' continual disregard for basic human rights, the rule of law and the principles of the Commonwealth.
A joint statement from CHRI and CIVICUS called on the global body to trigger 'action by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group, a high level group that deals with serious or persistent breaches of the Commonwealth's democratic and political values. Anything less indicates tacit approval for a regime that is increasingly moving further away from complying with the fundamental political principles of the Commonwealth.'
The call comes as Swaziland sinks deeper into economic, social and political crises and with 'elections' - or rather 'selections' given the ban on political parites - due in 2013.
"We are anxious that the stifling of basic freedoms, including the freedom of expression, is only likely to increase as the country gears up for elections," said the CHRI and CIVICUS.
The two organisations added that "it is apt to recall the last election observer report by the Commonwealth Expert Team in 2008 noted that the suppression of political rights undermined the credibility of the electoral process. There has been little change since then, and we call upon the Commonwealth to push for conditions on the ground that support an electoral process with genuine space for multi-party participation."
As a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Swaziland is required to abide by the Community's principles of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. We draw attention to the SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections, which state that SADC members should ensure political tolerance, civic participation in the political process and freedom of association.
While Swaziland's national constitution (2005) guarantees the rights of freedom of expression, association and assembly, these fundamental freedoms are weakened by contrary claw-back provisions that limit their exercise. Political parties are banned. Political activity that does not align itself with the regime is not tolerated. Political gatherings are regularly dispersed and publications critical of the regime are censored.
The lack of tolerance of dissent is evidenced by the de-registration of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland in April 2012, soon after it stated its intention to boycott the 2013 elections. Pro-democracy activists and human rights defenders are targeted using imprecise counter-terror legislation, including the Suppression of Terrorism Act (2008) and the draconian provisions of the Sedition and Subversive Activities Act (1938), which are regularly employed to inhibit the exercise of democratic and civic freedoms.
There is a strong perception of police impunity, as credible allegations of extra-judicial killings, torture and ill-treatment have not been adequately addressed.
In addition, the Swaziland media remains highly controlled by the state. The government is reported to have initiated plans to introduce new laws to censor radio programmes and reports that contradict the agenda of the government.
CHRI and CIVICUS also highlighted their support for the resolution passed by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in May 2012, which called on Swaziland's government to respect its human rights obligations, particularly the rights of freedom of expression, association and assembly - and urged the Swaziland government to take steps to guarantee credible elections in 2013.

I could not agree more with your assessment of Bernstein's book. It indeed is a fascinating read and leaves you much wiser than before. Having said this, I would like to jot down certain points of criticism.
Along with providing evidence for our eternal urge to truck and barter, the book also brings to light the frequent human desire to consume at whatever cost it takes. It is an important lesson to learn that trade has shaped the world and we all have immensely benefited from it. However, we should not lose sight of the extent to which greedy nations and corporations will go to enjoy the goodies of trade. Wiping out a complete island for nutmeg by the Dutch or the atrocities committed by the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean is a case in point.
The author thus, fails to note that not all exchange can be called as trade, at least by today's textbook definition. If the Portuguese, Dutch or the English seized political control in order to secure supplies that cannot be termed as beneficial trade.
Even though the book successfully tells the story of how trade shaped the world, it tells the story primarily from western point of view. So much so that at times I felt the title should have been how trade shaped the "Western" world. The story of how trade affected the economies of China & India is almost conspicuous by its absence.
In spite of these lacunae, I think the book does a pretty good job of putting history of trade in perspective.
Trade has indeed allowed for the spread of culture and riches since man settled and I am certain the book is a worthy exponent of its boundless virtues, but I must take exception for mentioning the Greeks and forgetting about the Phoenicians who were the first and most prolific mariners in the ancient world, pre-dating the Greeks by over 2000 years.
"The golden period of the late 19th century in which trade flourished under the benign wing of the British Empire"
Sweet Lord! Gave yourself away didn't you!
I had to read this (quoted from this newspaper's review of the book) many times over and rub my eyes in disbelief.
Whether it is the book or the reviewer, The Economist has a serious problem here. Somebody clearly has not done his or her homework. This period corresponds with the opium wars between Britain and China the 'cotton wars' between this benign (!) race and India...Does anyone acknowledge the sheer evil this race has perpetuated to reach its end? God! do you read history from all sources! Do you know how people in other parts of the world have suffered financially and (more importantly) emotionally! It appears from this review we haven't moved anywhere in 200 years...not in people's minds...
The book review fails to excite me as lengthy paragraphs are about Greece and its trade. Greece (?) No reference to the Asian greats which constituted half the world trade and GDP for close to 2000 years, besides financing many of the western expeditions...
I understand that Greece is critical for the western world, an opportunity to restart the history of the world and trade from a western timeline.
But the truth is, the history of civilization and trade has different roots too and unless a book covers all countries in every period, it cannot pretend to present the history of world trade.
Just like The Economist cannot claim to speak for the 'righteous'.
It's just your point of view. While that's appreciated, keep it at that.
Lol ZeHawk, the reason they mentioned *a* President Obama was because they started off the article criticizing his position on trade.
Do you know something about the US presidential election that nobody else does? ;) The last line of your article says "It is a truth that a *President Obama* would do well to remember."
The world is drowning in a tsunami of pc claptrap as the comments below demonstrate.
Obviously the Economist will support a book that states that trade has defined the world. I however see the technological and societal structures as far greater drivers of change, nor do I believe that trade drove those two, I see trade as a result of the other two.

Hundreds of credit card meters installed downtown
Published 4:07 PM CDT Apr 09, 2013
The city has begun installing 400 smart parking meters in the Old Market and downtown areas, according to Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle.
The new high-tech solar-powered meters will allow patrons to pay with either credit cards or coins.
"We believe that offering these options will improve compliance at parking meters, increase revenue for the city, and decrease the number of tickets issued to motorists," Suttle said.
The city said the next installation of 600 meters will bring the total of 1,000 new meters to downtown Omaha.

Coolant conditioner
Can someone describe an engine "coolant conditioner" mentioned in NFPA 1901 A.220.127.116.11, 2003 edition (page 1901-206)?
Is it a mechanical device? How does it work?
6,Diesel engines are susceptible to coolant breakdown(chemical)by the electricity that continually passes thru the vehicle including the engine.Left unchecked,this process changes the Ph of the coolant and causes pitting of the cylinder block and liners.A coolant conditioner allows you to maintain the proper Ph thru DCA conditioning which prevents this damage,In extreme cases the coolant will literally eat thru the liners and allow coolant into the combustion areas.NOT GOOD! In the case of Cummins back as far as my old '62,they had a coolant filter with a DCA "cake"built into it.As the coolant passed thru the filter the DCA gradually dissolved and maintained the proper Ph.I presume today's engines use a similar method.Or they may inject the liquid version instead.Either way,the intent is to maintain a "neutral"Ph.

I didn't know about the "cakes" in the filter. We use spin-on coolant filters.
Are the DCA additives predominate (or should I say available) in todays stuff?
One of our problem areas is coolant corrosion. It doesn't help that fire service applications consist f man y short trips that don't even get a big diesel up to operating temperature.
I remember some old trucks (CF Mack's) with the radiator shutters, but like anything mechanical, they could create real problems on the off-occasion they failed to open.

How well I remember the old "water filters" we used on the NH220s and the like. Cummins, at least as far up as 1994, still uses essentially the same thing.
I don't know what's used in the DD 60 Series, but on the old 2 stroke engines (53, 71, 92), testing the coolant with test strips and adding Nalcool (or whatever its current name is) as needed, is equally important. My Caterpillar manual discusses SCAs but I haven't found a "filter" on it yet. Presumably you add something along the lines of Nalcool when necessary. I don't know how International handles theirs.
One of the old time mechanics that taught me so much used to say that well over half of the problems that develop on engines can be traced to the cooling system and the lack of maintenance thereof. The older I get the more I believe it.
Stay safe out there, everyone goes home!

You old farts don't know anything, now get back to the nursing home before somebody reports you missing! Oh my achin' *****, 220 Cummins, c'mon Sam we were driving those in the 60's and there are still some around today on the farms.
Hard to believe how much damage water can do, I think thats the reason some guys drink a lot of alcohol.
Hehe Baron,Want to refresh your memory? I've still got one in my fleet.New slugs and everything.Genuine bounceamatic hendrickson rubber suspension too.That Hy- me Metz has got you ruint.There's drivers and wheel holders.Which you wanna be? T.C.

E-Prescribing Group Met with Cautious Optimism
E-Prescribing Group Met with Cautious Optimism
M.L. Baker
Posted 2004-08-13
Nine entities including tech and e-prescribing companies have banded together to educate physicians and health care payers about successful strategies, but physicians say they'll wait and see.
Physicians are taking a time-will-tell approach to a new industry consortium dedicated to accelerating electronic prescribing. Nine well-recognized entities, including high-tech and e-prescribing companies, announced Tuesday that they had banded together to educate physicians and health care payers about successful strategies in e-prescribing and its potential to improve health care. The group, which calls itself Cafe Rx, says it will promote common standards and government support of e-prescribing. Electronic prescribing transmits physicians prescriptions directly to a pharmacy from a point of care, eliminating errors caused by poor handwriting.
David Brailer, the nations health IT czar,
has promoted it as one way to reduce medical errors, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is actively encouraging the practice. Two California physicians contacted by eWEEK.com called the formation of the group "intriguing" and "interesting," but werent sure whether
Cafe Rx
would be able to deliver on its rhetoric. But in an interview with eWEEK.com, Steven Waldren, assistant director for health and IT with the Leawood, Kan.-based
American Academy of Family Physicians
(AAFP), seemed sanguine.
Waldren said e-prescribing could significantly reduce phone time for patients, pharmacists, physicians, health plans and PBMs. The biggest impact, he said, would come when e-prescribing was part of an electronic health record (EHR), where it could provide decision support in drug-drug, drug-allergy and other interactions. "If CafeRx stays true to e-prescribing as a step toward an EHR, I think they will be very effective."
Donald Gravlin, acting chairman of Cafe Rx and chief technology officer at Capgemini Healths payer practice, said in an interview with eWEEK.com that while e-prescribing could function as a self-contained service, the group ultimately hoped to promote EHR and could help do so by promoting connectivity and interoperability standards. But he said the first projects would involve mainly outreach, "just educating the average physician practice as to how e-prescribing actually works, what the use of the script standard actually means, helping them understand legislation in their state, and introducing them to the people working with retail pharmacies." Another imminent focus is automating refill prescriptions, which would cut administrative costs at both pharmacies and physician practices. "There are 500 million refills that could be brought online very quickly," Gravlin said. Electronic prescribing systems have been criticized for costing too much, taking more time than writing prescriptions by hand, insufficiently reducing medical errors and even introducing new kinds of errors.

But Waldren said Cafe Rx might reduce these risks by promoting evaluation studies on e-prescribing and developing best practices for user interfaces. AAFPs Waldren also said he thought Cafe Rx was more likely to shield against inappropriate commercial messaging than to promote it. "They want to increase adoption and use of e-prescribing, and if there is inappropriate commercial messaging, physicians will not use it," he said. While he said Cafe Rx has so far been reaching out to other stakeholders, the group might not serve the general good if it does not represent all kinds of entities involved in e-prescribing. "If all the systems stakeholders interests are not incorporated in the directing of the consortiums action, then those actions may favor one stakeholders interest. This usually is not the best for the system as a whole."

Though he did not specifically mention any physicians groups, Gravlin said more than 10 groups had contacted Cafe Rx about joining the consortium and that there were "well more than 200 organizations that wed like to see participate." But he said it made sense to start small and that many of the founding members had already partnered on e-prescribing projects. A group of nine was manageable at a dinner table at the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs in March. "We kept it focused so we could get some principles together," he said. Members of the consortium include
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions,
Cisco Systems Inc.,
Hewlett-Packard Co.,
Microsoft Corp.,
National Council for Prescription Drug Programs,
NDC Health,
ProxyMed Inc.,

Traffic is not moving fast at all on southbound Hwy. 100 due to a crash on the left shoulder at 23rd Street, just south of 394. It's a least a 20 minute drive from 94 to Excelsior Blvd.
On northbound Cedar Avenue, look for a crash on the left shoulder at Hwy. 13. Traffic stacks up at 35E. That will cost you an extra 10 minutes.
Heavy levels of traffic is making the drive on northbound 35W from the Burnsville Split up to the Crosstown an 18 minute drive.
Southbound 494 is busy from Bass Lake Road to Hwy. 55. That is 17 minutes.

Toast 9 Features Blu-Ray Video, Streaming
Toast 9 Titanium is the latest edition of Roxio's long-running disc burning software for the Mac. With Toast, you can burn data or video to CDs and DVDs. Toast 8 Titanium, the new version's predecessor, implemented features including TiVo and EyeTV support, data burning to Blu-ray drives and cataloging capabilities.
Toast 9 Titanium is Roxio's new version of its disc burning software for Mac OS X. The new release will retail for $99.99, and will be available initially as a download, with boxed discs to follow later this month. Toast 8 Titanium users will be able to get a $30 discount on the new release.
New to Toast 9 Titanium is the ability to burn high-def video to Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, as well (using an optional $19.99 plug-in, available for free to users who buy the software between now and March 31, 2008). Blu-ray burning is also dependent on having a Blu-ray disc drive -- not available from the factory but now sold as a third-party accessory. Blu-ray video discs can't be played on the Mac, but with this new software you can burn AVCHD video, for example, that you can play back on a Blu-ray Disc player, such as a Sony PlayStation 3.
Roxio has also added TV streaming capabilities, so you can stream QuickTime, DivX, EyeTV and TiVo video from your Mac to another Mac on the Internet, or to your iPhone or iPod touch.
Roxio has enhanced audio capture and tagging in this new release with streaming audio capture, audio "fingerprinting" that identifies and tags music files, and expanded support for MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless and AIFF audio formats.
You can combine multiple DVDs on a single disc using DVD compilation, or queue up multiple VIDEO_TS folders with batch DVD conversion. Pause and resume -- a feature first found in the most recent release of Roxio's Popcorn software -- is now in Toast 9 Titanium.
The user interface has been enhanced with a new Convert tab for audio and video, tool tips, Quick Look support in the Media Browser, larger DVD menu previews, a better project capacity gauge and more.
System requirements call for a G4 or better (G5 or Intel required for encoding and viewing HD content), CD, DVD or Blu-ray recordable drive, Mac OS X v10.4 or later, 600MB hard disk space for installation, 15GB of free space for usage, QuickTime 7.1.3 or later.

Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration: Adjustment of Passenger Civil Aviation Security Service Fee
GAO-14-725R: Jul 3, 2014
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration's new rule on the adjustment of passenger civil aviation security service fee. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule. GAO found that (1) the interim final rule implements amendments to 49 U.S.C. 44940, which authorizes TSA to impose fees to defray the government's costs for providing civil aviation security services, such as those related to screening personnel, screening equipment, and other specified security services. As required by the amendments to 49 U.S.C. 44940(c), the interim final rule increases the security service fee to $5.60 per one-way trip; and (2) TSA complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

In Defense of Ron Paul: A Response to Anthony Migchels from Ken Adachi
Feb. 25, 2012
In Defense of Ron Paul: A Response to Anthony Migchels from Ken Adachi (Feb. 28, 2012)
Subject: Ron Paul
From: email@example.com
Date: Sun, February 26, 2012
To: Ken Adachi[re: Rebuttal Commentary from Ken Adachi on "The Satanic Core of Libertarianism" (Feb. 25, 2012)]
Hi Ken,
I saw your comment on Makow's about the Satanist Core of Libertarianism.
Please keep in mind that we (memehunter and I) started digging after thoroughly dismantling Austrian Economics as a tool to maintain the Money Power's control over the money supply and thus its domination.
When Paul wins (which he won't), expect a deflationary crash and millions in the street. That's what he'll create make no mistake.
He will do nothing to end financial domination. He has stated that a Gold Standard will be world currency.
He is a freemason, you've seen the pictures.
And the series of articles deconstructing Austrian Economics in Faux Economics:
http://realcurrencies.wordpress.com/faux-economics/The Alternative Media have been completely subverted by an Elite/Jewish sponsored mind control operation:
http://realcurrencies.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/hate-the-state-buy-gold-and-all-will-be-well-an-alternative-media-in-crisis/I am Dutch, but the Money Power is international. That's why I feel I have every right to partake in the discussion: America leads the world and what happens there will happen in Holland shortly.
Memehunter is an American.
Read the data in the page Ken.
Hello Anthony,
Read this: you can't see the forest from the trees.
Your and Memehunter's (whoever that mystery person may be) conclusions and assessment concerning Ron Paul are so far removed from reality that whatever merits may reside in your commentary concerning the so-called Austrian School of economics, or the employment of a zero interest 'greenback' currency which you espouse, or the virtues (or mot) of having a gold backed currency ALL go out the window when you use those themes, along with the Freemason allegation, and the Satanist allegation, and the Antebellum plantation lunacy of your hero, Christopher Knowles, and the Illuminati "stooge" allegation, as part of a lame attempt to smear the name, reputation, and character of Ron Paul (whose long track record of pro-Constitution political positions and pro-Constitution voting cannot be undone or character assassinated into irrelevance--even by clever Leftists such as yourself or Memehunter or Knowles).
For us thinking Americans, it's what Ron Paul has actually done and said and the political positions he has embraced for the past 3o years that count, and not what you or other Ron Paul character assassins wish to paint him as, in the 11th Hour of the besieged American Republic, while there is still a glimmer of hope that he may get the Republican party nod or run as an independent in November.
I notice that you and your friends don't attack the CIA created fiction known as Barack Obama. Nor do you attack the GWB, Take Two Retread, Mitt Romney, the most blatantly Illuminated, billionaire elitist to yet be proffered as a presidential candidate. You haven't got a word to say about the morally bankrupt, forked tongued, Neocon flip flopper Newt Gingrich, or the other opportunistic flip flopper, Rick Santorum. No, you reserve all of your scorn and dark 'secret society' intrigues to array against a middle class Texas physician who has consistently voted against big government and voted in favor of preserving ALL of the articles and amendments enshrined in the US Constitution, even the ones that Israel, the international bankers, and the Pentagon don't like. The one guy who actually has the guts to call for an end to the insane military spending, imperialist wars, Israel underwriting, and the costly bribery ruse known as Foreign Aid. He wants to audit the Federal Reserve and establish precious metal as backing behind the US dollar. Wow, what an Illuminated/Masonic/Satanic slime ball.
As a practical matter, yes, there's little chance that Ron Paul's name will be seen on the ballot in November because the Illuminated Zionists, especially, have used their money and control of the media to marginalize and obscure the enormous popularity that Ron Paul enjoys among a substantial portion of American voters. But despite the fact that the Big Money boys are filling up the coffers of both their Democrat proxy, Indonesian national Barry Soetoro, and their Republican proxy, Mitt Romney (made even wealthier by Israel/Mossad controlled Bain Capital), the access to information provided by the Internet has made the 2012 election anything but a slam dunk deal for the NWO planners, despite the mega-millions in campaign funding available to Soetoro and Romney (or Santorum if he's the Chosen One).
The sheer ill-logic of the conclusions about Ron Paul which you and your fellow Team members arrive at is stunning. Consider your statement: :
"When Paul wins (which he won't), expect a deflationary crash and millions in the street. That's what he'll create make no mistake."
You talk about a Ron Paul presidency as if it were a dictatorship. President Ron Paul could only vote in favor of or veto a bill sent to him by congress. He can't propose bills or make law by presidential fiat. A president can have an influence on policy, and perhaps coerce legislators of his own party, but he can't declare law (which your statement implies). And while we all know that presidential Executive Orders and Presidential Directives have been abused wildly by Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama, there are limits to what may be attempted via Executive Order. Besides, it's entirely possible that a Ron Paul presidency would reverse many of the unconstitutional, treasonous Executive orders signed by his predecessors.
At best, a Ron Paul presidency would act as a brake to slow down the acceleration of the NWO takeover freight train that has sped up so precipitously in the past two decades. None of the dire scenarios which you and your incredulous friends have proposed would unfold. Far from it. We would enjoy a respite with a Paul administration, in the advance of the NWO takeover game. If President Paul could manage to survive assassination, or a sudden "heart attack" or a fast moving "cancer," then we would gradually see more members of the House, at least, move towards a more openly anti-NWO posture. The awakening American public would finally, I believe, begin to rid ourselves of the naked NWO sellouts who currently occupy easily 75% of the Senate, and perhaps 65% of the House and start moving this country back towards becoming, once again, a beacon of freedom and a fierce champion of human rights. .
Sincerely, Ken Adachi

Agency told to develop a new schedule and consider terminating the FTI program
"FAA telecom effort lags"
"FTI hits rough air"
FAA Needs To Take Steps To Improve Management Controls and Reduce Schedule Risks
An inspector general has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to reconsider continuing a telecommunications project that is behind schedule and not living up to expectations. Although the project has faltered, it is unclear why, or how other agencies could avoid making the same mistakes.
An IG report released last week recommends that the FAA's program office develop a new schedule and decide whether to alter or terminate the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure program.
FTI's purpose is to replace existing systems that let air traffic controllers communicate with pilots. It is supposed to reduce operating costs by consolidating multiple telecom networks into one operated by Harris. The FAA had planned to complete the consolidation by December 2007.
But the program, which the IG has designated as high risk, will likely miss its deadline and fail to deliver the anticipated cost savings, the audit states. FTI is more likely to be completed by November 2009, according to the report, which also states that a projected $102 million in cost savings for fiscal 2006 will not materialize unless FAA managers accelerate the transition to the new system almost tenfold.
Theodore Alves, the Transportation Department's principal assistant IG for auditing and evaluation, issued the final audit report after a lengthy investigation. The FAA awarded a performance-based contract for the project to Harris in July 2002. The agency is still paying MCI, now known as Verizon Business, to use an older system while Harris builds and installs the new one.
Each year of delay beyond the December 2007 target could increase the agency's telecom costs by $100 million a year as it pays for the new network and for maintaining the old one, Alves' report states, citing a Mitre analysis.
Harris officials said that the company will complete its portion of the project on time.
The FAA saves money only when the agency disconnects its older circuits, which it has been slow to do, the IG report notes.
The audit does not focus on safety concerns or complaints about the FTI architecture. However, the report does discuss one particular episode. Last fall, a radar outage at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago occurred during a switchover to FTI.
The loss of radar operations happened when Harris subcontractors attempted to shift phone circuits carrying radar data to FTI circuits. No backup system was available because the FAA had eliminated that requirement to speed FTI site acceptance, officials at Professional Airways Systems Specialists, an FAA employee union, said at the time.
To avoid a similar episode, the FAA must validate requirements with regional officials before transitioning services from older networks to FTI, according to the new IG report.
Government sources said the FAA must stop certain activation activities until the program office and regional sites validate the requirements. However, Harris can proceed to deliver equipment as previously planned.
Last week, FAA spokeswoman Tammy Jones said the program office does not have to halt transitioning to FTI services. "The FAA has an extensive pipeline of validated service requirements to put into the provisioning process, and so there is no need to stop the transition to perform service validation," she said.
Office of IG officials have not publicly announced whether they will conduct a follow-up audit of FTI.
To account for delays so far, the FAA will have to exercise a one-year option in its existing contract with Verizon Business and may need to retain Verizon's services longer than that extra year.
In response to a draft of the report, FAA officials stated that they intend to take a number of program management actions to gain control over the FTI transition. Overall, FAA agreed or partially agreed with all of the IG's recommendations.
Left unanswered in the IG report is the question of how the program went awry. "They are trying to fix the problem with these recommendations, but they are not doing a good job of explaining the problem," said Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting. "If this can happen for FAA, with all of their smarts and all of their engineering talent and all of their oversight, it seems like this can happen to anyone."
Jerry Edgerton, president of Verizon Federal, said he would consider an extension of the contract. "Our intent is to provide the best service possible under the current FTI schedule or any modified approach," he said. "The network far exceeds the contractual expectations that we were asked to conform to. The economic validation of their current approach appears to be in question. I'm assuming that the FAA will look seriously at what's been raised."
