Thank You Happiness
I bought these return address labels for our thank you notes from our wedding. Always have loved how I can customize the colors at MagnetStreet. Only complaint on these would be that they're a little bigger then I expected. The envelopes are rather small and these may be a little too big. Otherwise, the shipped quickly and arrived in great condition!

|National Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19-25
The 2010 Child Passenger Safety Week brings public attention to the importance of properly securing all children in appropriate child safety seats, booster seats or seat belts - every trip, every time. The campaign concludes with "National Seat Check Saturday," when certified child passenger safety technicians will provide advice and hands-on child safety seat inspections nationwide for free.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 3 out of 4 child safety seats are not used properly, which is a grave risk when traveling. For a child safety seat to do its job right, it has to be:

Global Market Collapse Coming?
Rick Rule sees trouble on the horizon…
"We are seeing investors in global markets, be they debt or equity markets, reacting to the modest threat of a decline in stimulus and a reduction in the amount by which the interest rate is manipulated down.
What we saw yesterday was very clearly a reaction to the fact that the United States government while it will not stop quantitative easing, which you and I call 'counterfeiting,' it will reduce it. The very fact that they intend to reduce it will probably reduce downward pressure on interest rates, which will lower the capitalized value of distributions on long-dated government debts, and increase their competitiveness with the equity markets.
So we are seeing difficulty with the thesis surrounding convergence, lower interest rates, and liquidity-fueled debt and equity markets. And we are seeing that unfold on a global basis. One of the reasons that the response has been so dramatic, despite the modest tapering, is because of the leveraged nature of trading which takes place on a global basis. So what you are seeing now is a leveraged unwinding take place in global markets."

JP Morgan is Holding the Greatest Amount of Silver in History?
Many in the precious metals market see JP Morgan manipulating the silver market for their own gain. Silver expert Ted Butler expands on this…
While everyone is focused on the massive outflows in COMEX registered gold inventories and the gold ETF, GLD, it seems that an important evolution in silver is passing unnoticed. In what follows, Ted Butler, precious metals analyst specialized in COT analysis, reveals a remarkable insight in the physical silver market.
Butler's calculations show that JPMorgan (JPM) has piled up the largest holding of physical silver in modern world. Since the silver price peak in May 2011, the bank has accumulated between 100 and 200 million ounces of physical silver (if not more). The equivalent in metric tonnes is between 3,110 and 6,220 tonnes.
To put that number in perspective, it surpasses the amounts held by the Hunt Brothers or Warren Buffett (in his investment company Berkshire Hathaway).
On a yearly basis, some 100 million ounces of silver reach the investment market, which translates into 250 million ounces between May 2011 and December 2013. That has a value of approximately $5 billion. Given the size of the too-big-to-fail bank, that amount of silver, how large it may seem, is easily affordable:
JP Morgan's quarterly profit is $5 billion (approximately 200 million ounces of silver).
In 2013, the closing of the gold short position, as well as the 20,000 contract reduction in the silver short position, netted JPM more than $3 billion.
In COMEX silver, JPM was the largest buyer in 2013.

Gold Price Suppression lends to Buying Opportunity?
Precious metals expert David Levenstein sites a strong demand for physical gold around the world and especially from China but prices remain down. Is this time to stock up on the yellow metal?
As gold prices continue to hover around the $1240 an ounce level, demand for the physical metal remains extremely robust especially demand from China. Yet, despite reports of strong demand, prices still seem to be taking the lead from traders reacting to announcements from central banks, particularly the US Federal Reserve and certain non-related economic news.
After gaining for most of the month, the price of gold notched up its first weekly drop in six due to further signs of U.S. economic growth, concerns over the U.S. Federal Reserve's withdrawal of monetary stimulus and a slump in Chinese demand.
Last Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve announced its' FOMC's decision to taper its asset-purchase program. The FOMC decided to trim its bond purchases by another $10 billion in its first meeting of 2014. In December when the Fed announced that it was going to taper its purchases, gold prices fell sharply. But, this time the Fed's decision to cut down on its asset-purchase program had little adverse effect on gold prices. Therefore, even if the Fed continues to taper its asset-purchase program, it is unlikely to have any long-term effect on gold.
With prices of gold and silver at low points, stocking up would be reasonable for anyone bullish on precious metals. In fact a tax savvy method for owning physical metals without worry of home storage is through a gold IRA. These IRS approved retirement accounts allow for a simple and straight forward transfer or rollover from an existing IRA or 401k into a self directed individual retirement account where you can purchase approved precious metals, real estate and more…

Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Please see below, re: the devastating consequences of horse slaughter on one community. The following is a letter from Paula Bacon, former mayor of Kaufman, Texas where Dallas Crown horse slaughterhouse operated until the residents of Kaufman managed to shut it down—after a 25-year legal battle. Bottom line—do you want this predatory "industry" in your community or in any other American community?
"To the Editor
The Wall Street Journal
RE: article "Why Belgians Shoot Horses in Texas...."
I read with great interest your recent article on horse slaughter.
I am mayor of Kaufman, I have learned a great deal about horse slaughter, and I can say without reservation that the horse slaughter industry causes significant hardship to my community.
You state that "So far, economic arguments have prevailed over the emotional appeals of the anti-slaughter forces."
If economic arguments had in fact prevailed, then the screen door ought to have banged the backside of Dallas Crown 25 years ago as they departed Kaufman. Instead they have used my city like a door mat.
In January 1986, then Mayor Harry Holcomb said, "Quite frankly, we don't want you here!" when Dallas Crown came to the City Council with a plan to re-open. With zoning and vested rights they did re-open, but the city manager assured, "if they violate ordinances, we can close them down" [Kaufman Herald, 1/23/86].
Not so, as it turns out. Dallas Crown has a long history of violating ordinances, as do the other two horse slaughter plants in Fort Worth and DeKalb. "Dallas Crown continually neglects to perform within the standards required of them," a recent city staff memo advises, one of dozens of such memos.
But the city doesn't have the resources to outspend Dallas Crown in legal wrangling. Recently, after receiving 29 citations for failing waste-water tests 60% of the time, Dallas Crown demanded 29 separate jury trials.
Then Dallas Crown banned the city from testing for 9 months-though it is required by law, signed agreement and court order. Upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which said testing is designed to protect, will cost 2,100 sewer customers $6 million.
A repellent history of violations that includes blood spills, putrid odors, and horse remains in nearby yards continues to this day.
As unwilling host to a horse slaughter plant, I believe my city should have a voice in the economic argument. In Kaufman, horse slaughter is the reverse of economic development. Dallas Crown drains our resources, thwarts economic development and stigmatizes our community.
All 3 of the horse slaughter plants in the U.S. employ a total of fewer than 200 people. They cost American taxpayers $5 million annually in federal funding for oversight, USDA inspections, transport inspections, etc., according to federal officials. There is no economic justification for horse slaughter.
In your article Monsieur Kemseke, one of a long line of managers who "neglected to perform within the standards required of them" and an owner of Dallas Crown, notes that he paid for the over-sized flag that greets drivers coming into town, and wonders who will buy the next one if Dallas Crown closes.
Kemseke's cavalier and insincere concern over our financial ability to purchase an American flag perfectly illustrates the horse slaughter "industry" in the U.S.: Horse slaughter ridicules American values while gouging our resources.
The flag does not make up for the economic and stigmatizing drain that Dallas Crown has brought our community. A $100 flag in the face of the $6 million cost to taxpayers? Perfect. This is the brand of corporate citizen Dallas Crown is to Kaufman, and the kind of industry horse slaughter is to the U.S.
Please. Spare us from any more of this supposed charity.
Paula Bacon
Mayor, City of Kaufman"
In addition, the meat of American horses is adulterated by such substances as phenylbutazone (bute) prohibited by FDA in animals intended for human consumption and which, if present in even minute amounts in meat consumed, can cause aplastic anemia in children. Bute is only one of hundreds of toxic substances routinely administered to American horses.
"Phenylbutazone (bute) is arguably the most potent and
effective pain relieving agent available in equine medicine in
this country. The difficulty with phenylbutazone is that it, or
its metabolite, can cause aplastic anaemia in children.
If a child were to consume an animal-based product
containing even the minutest amount of bute or its
metabolite then the child may develop aplastic anaemia." (from the first paragraph in the peer-reviewed journal article above)
In addition, please see below for further information, re: the toxicity of American horse meat:
Also, the argument for horse slaughter contending that it is a "necessary evil," given the large number of abandoned horses is specious. The fact is that most of those "abandoned" horses were abandoned by the "kill buyers" themselves. Documentation exists to prove that over 5,000 horses (from approximately 60,000) were rejected by Mexican plants. Those horses were "dumped" in the Southwest by the kill buyers; therefore, slaughter itself is the cause of most "horse abandonment."
In addition, come July 31, 2013, there will likely be no market for American horse meat. Currently, 80% of American horse meat is exported to the European Union. As per that date, the EU will implement strict new measures, demanding a "passport" which would document the medical history of the animal through its entire life. It goes without saying that implementation of such a "passport" system in this country would be a virtually impossible task, to say nothing of its being prohibitively expensive.
Further, given that 80% of Americans oppose horse slaughter (as per a January 2012 poll conducted by Lake Research Partners), Oklahoma, New Mexico and any other state would most likely experience significant boycotts if a horse slaughter plant were opened. Witness the fact that, given the recent scandal, re: the presence of horse meat in UK burgers, many have demonstrated there, demanding that the horse slaughter plant is closed. (Horse slaughter is often the "dirty little secret" of which most people are not aware. Given the recent scandal, the people in the UK are now aware--and are protesting). Also, please do understand that the consumption of beef in the UK is down 40% given the scandal. Obviously, not good for the American beef industry.
And, please understand that if horse slaughterhouses are opened in this country, the American meat supply would be jeopardized. Americans do not consume horse meat. When plants were operating here, the meat was shipped to Europe--and Americans paid millions of dollars annually for USDA inspections of meat consumed by foreigners. (BTW, the Belgian-owned Dallas Crown horse slaughterhouse which operated in Kaufman, Texas until the residents of Kaufman managed to close it down--after a 25-year battle--paid $5.00 in federal taxes on several millions of dollars in sales). If horse slaughter plants are opened in the US, the American taxpayer would foot the bill--again--to attempt to ensure the safety of meat consumed by foreigners. As you know, given the "fiscal cliff," plants processing meat consumed by Americans (beef, pork, etc.) might be forced to temporarily close in March or April. Given this fact, why on earth would our country allocate funds to inspect meat consumed by foreigners while jeopardizing our meat supply?
I'm glad that it is being banned but I hope there is something saying that horses can't be bought here and sent out of the US to be slaughtered. Cause otherwise they will move it to a country that will and we need to be a little bit more specific when it comes to American horses not allowed to be slaughtered whatsoever.
Please ban hoses from being slaughtered in the US.... this is just crazy.
Why should we eat horses ? Our culture don't eat horses ! Who ever is involved in this kind of business wont be able to make it here in the US . Let's save their life enjoy and ride them .
This cruelty needs to end. This is no way for a supposedly advanced, civilized nation to act toward innocent beings.
If this is allowed to continue, I must conclude that here is nothing humane about our society and that the US has
devolved into nothing more than any other third world country, where life is NOT the standard. Our country used to
lead and set standards - we need to reaffirm our position in the world by taking responsibility and upholding life,
not diminishing it.
I recently spoke with a horse activist that told me that since the works were in motion to end horse slaughter there is a new form of abuse. Horses tied to a tree and left to die because their is no human service to end the horses life and for that horse to give of his being to feed others. What is being done to help all those owners that have lovingly cared for their horses and because of the economy can't pay the large amounts to humanly assist this horse with the end of it's life?

Smile, NYC! Now put your chin down, tilt your good side forward, gaze up seductively, and reach out....The time has come to hold the metaphorical camera up in front of ourselves and capture the best of what this place has to offer.
With selfies, we try to show our beauty, our love for adventure, our penchant for the weird, our sense of humor, and our unique cultural touchstones. These are our personalities, reflected outwards.
So, what would a selfie of NYC show?
We've attempted to answer that with the more than 350 beautiful, thrilling, strange, delicious, and funny entrants that our 2014 Best of NYC issue comprises.
Our own selfies take in the city's "Best Cocktail Bar," "Best New Restaurant," and "Best Live Music Venue." They showcase things we're famous for, like the "Best Black and White Cookie," "Best Museum," and "Best Yankee." (You'll never guess who.)
They capture our adventurous side, from "Best Event for Cyclists" to "Best Escape in New York" to "Best Day Trip" and "Best Reason to Eat Out in the Bronx."
They divulge our innermost secrets, gems like "Best Underground History Lesson" and "Best Lingerie." (Of course, the goodies you purchase at the latter are probably best hand-washed, as opposed to toted to our choice for "Best Place to Drink and Do Laundry.")
They even turn the selfie back on ourself, with "Best Photo Booth."
As always, our picks are completely subjective. Keeping in mind that any look at our city reflects all of us who live in it, we asked you to share some of your favorites with us via our Readers' Poll, the results of which you'll find alongside our takes.
Finally, speaking of selfie-centered: Throughout this issue you'll see a selection of photos from readers who responded to our Twitter call for #BONYC selfie submissions.
Y'all are the best!

cant criticize much cause im far from your level. But the first thing that came to mind for me was that maybe the blue background in the upper torso area is almost swallowing the torso, in terms of saturation. If you try and make them be more apart from each other, i think the picture would be more interesting. Even tho I could understand that you wanted it to look like that for compositional reasons..
hope i could help

i have two projects. one is the "REAL" project, that i put the majority of my effort, and that i want to turn out the best. the other project is the running beater project parts truck. (theyre both 71 chevy trucks). when i get real down, looking at the project truck, and hearing about it from the folks, i take the other out for a drive and bang the gears for a couple of hours. mind you its a rusted hulk that doesnt have a straight pannel on it, BUT i know that my finished truck is going to be just as much fun. it helps to have a driver project for inspiration
Keep your chin up! I, too, have had my up's and down's, and, about a Month ago, was at a real low. Like twistedmini, I took a weekend off (which usually I have a conniption fit if I miss one), and took a trip. I thought about the car on my off moments that weekend, but when I got back I was rarin' to go.
Take a few days off-it'll give you some perspective, and you'll (hopefully) go back at it refocused.
|I'm with you there gearhead. Now I'm trying to get the sheet metal back together on the rambler and nothing fits, not even close. I knew I was in trouble when I drilled the spot welds and the panels had a lot of spring when they came off...kinda like they were under a lot of stress. Plus removing the roof rail opened up a bucket of worms, thats another long story
|Gearhead forever
For me the fabrication is the easy part...Getting the body straight and whatnot is getting tough though...don't know if I could ever be a body man.
What I want to know, is how do I motivate the wallet to keep the project rolling??
|Keep plugging along. Just get it running and rolling so you can drive it. Then do a little at a time. I had my 56 Belair for 23 years, and looked done but still not finished to my plans. It's never done. I sold it a few month ago, now starting another project. My goal is to make it run and drive first. If it takes another 20 years to finish at least I'll be having fun with it. That motivates me.

|Yep, know what you mean. I take it one chunk at a time or as a couple of the guys on here tell me you eat an elephant 1 bite at a time so that's what I've been doing. When I look at the big pic it gets daunting so I go back an do a little something to see progress being made. Of course I too don't work on it a lot in the winter but I get motvation from being on here talking with the guys/gals and going to car shows in the summer. 5 years into it and now I finally got some paint on parts of it now I'm even more eager to get it on the road this spring. Even if the interior is not doen I can drive it, Yah, baby! Yours is looking fine take a break and go back at it. One bite at a time.
Maybe its the warm environment. To easy to sit back and think next week
I get a mandatory 2-3 month break from heavy work on mine called unheated NY garage. Come first heat, I can't wait to get on it. Around August, September I get rushed again.
I do know your pain though. Mine is taking more time than I would like also, except it's just a More door, top hat dodge.
I found what really keeps me motivated is having driven it for the first summer I had it and wanting to get back on the road.
AmericanLT1 -- what you showed is just where some moisture got into the seam -- barely surface rust! I bet it cleaned up with scotch-brite!! Seriously, your regular paint prep will take care of that. I'd call it virtually rust free, especially for a car that age! If I bought that car as rust free (or any car) and found a little light surface rust, I wouldn't feel like I was misled at all.
I'm USAF and have been all over, so I've seen it all! There are cars here in Dover, Delaware (the farthest north I've thankfully had to live) that I'd barely consider parts cars hauled up for restoration! I'm originally from South Carolina (mid state). Cars rust there, and it's rare to find a 30-40 year old car with no rust, but there are still 30s hulks in the woods that are salvageable. Now those will usually need floors and rockers, but all else usually reasonably solid. My first duty station was Idaho. Old cars out there have surface rust -- but that's after sitting out in the weather for 30+ years!!
Hey guys,
Finally got to the computer this morning. After a full day of cleaning and sanding yesterday and reading through your post this morning I fell much better about this project. I really appreciate the support and encouragement. It's hard to be patient at times because everything takes much longer than I thought it would but, most of that is because I had to acquire the tools and skills to build what I have so far. This is the first fabrication work I've done so I'm not very quick. Rambo the dog, you're right. I don't have a clue what real rust is. If I had to deal with rust, like the pictures you sent, I would need serious therapy....although, when I tell people I'm building a hotrod rambler most feel therapy of some sort is in order. I wish I had a dime for everyone who asked, Why that car?
I usually reply with, What would be more humiliating that having your new vette toasted by a nash. Although, It may look like slow motion with me shifting that 6 speed. This will be my first stick car since the 72 challenger I had over thirty years ago.
Hotrodders.com has been a life saver for me through the construction of this project. I have spent countless hours reading and researching at this site and the wealth of information and help is amazing. I know it has saved me from many a costly mistake.
|Twisted Minis
That looks like an awesome project.
I've been balls deep in a big project for the last year. I got really burnt out at one pointed, and didn't even want to look at my truck. I just took some time away from the project, and did some things I wanted to do for myself. It had been about 10 months since I had spent any money on myself for anything other than clothes and shoes, which are necessities. So I bought some CDs, some magazines, and played my bass for about a month straight. Been back on the project like a madman ever since, like when I first started the build.
|When I need motivation I go buy a new tool an practice using it on one of my projects. or I go out an find a deal on more parts, like today, a friend of mine stopped in to borrow a four-way to change some tires on some cars he was scrapping, one has a 9 inch ford rear, I ask him how much, he said I could have it. I hope he brings my four-way back.
|home brew
|I can understand you being overwhelmed but just take a step back and look at all you have done in the last three years. Compared to that you don't have much left to do. Someone on this board once said something like - you shouldn't look at how big the project is and be overwhelmed. Look at it as a whole bunch of little projects that will eventually get done - one at a time. Good luck with the remaining work!

The Onslow County Board of Education has approved its 2013-14 capital outlay fund and local current expense fund budgets, but a recent letter from the Onslow County manager has school officials wondering if their numbers will stand.
According to an April 30 letter from County Manager Jeffrey Hudson, the school system's request for an additional $2.1 million in current expense funding and an increase in capital budget funding per the funding formula has been denied due to county needs and the county's unassigned fund balance, which currently sits at 11 percent. Instead, the board voted to maintain school funding at the current amount.
The county appropriation for 2012-13 was $42,466,952, according to information from Onslow County Schools. Of that, $40,691,952 was for the local current expense fund and $1,775,000 for capital outlay. A budget approved Tuesday by the Board of Education asks for $3 million for capital outlay and $42,859,337 for the local expense fund.
For its request, the Onslow County Board of Education says it was following the formula agreed upon in writing with the Board of Commissioners in June 2009 for planning purposes.
That formula, according to schools staff, combines the amount needed to maintain the county's current per-pupil funding with an incentive for higher system performance and capital budget needs to determine the total county appropriation. For the 2013-14 budget, they say it would translate to $1.7 million in maintenance level costs, $450,000 for incentives since the county was 78.81 percent proficient and $3 million for capital budget needs.
Hudsonsaid the current funding formula makes no allowance for the strained revenue streams of the county. He added that, in recent years, much of the increased revenues of the county have gone to the Board of Education.
"School system funding has taken first priority for the past 3 years, with no tax increase within the county's budget," Hudsonsaid.
Jeffrey Holloman, Onslow County Schools chief finance officer, said the $3 million for capital budget needs was historically what the schools received; however, it has decreased in recent years.
The Onslow County Schools budget approved Tuesday and being submitted to the commissioners includes the additional requests, despite the letter, which Board of Education attorney Alex Erwin called "premature."
"They'll have to respond to our presentation," Erwin said.
The Board of Education deadline to submit its budgets to the Board of Commissioners is today, May 15.
Commission Chairman W.C. Jarman, who was on the board when the 2009 funding agreement was reached, said he didn't want to leave the school system hanging financially but that "it's either do this or raise taxes."
Projected county revenues would not allow the county to meet its other needs and fund the school system without a tax increase, increased appropriations from the county's fund balance or savings, or a combination of both, Hudson said.
"The county commissioners, being cognizant of the need to hold the line on taxes, being aware that taxes must increase should the school system bond pass voter approval in November, as well as the declining percentage in the county's fund balance, chose to place the funding formula on hold for fiscal year 2014," Hudsonsaid.
The commissioners will not see a county budget until on or around June 1, Hudsontold Commissioners during a Tuesday special meeting.
Finance Director Dave McCole told commissioners during the meeting that public safety and education drive the county budget.
In years previous, per the agreement, the Board of Education has submitted to the commissioners a packet with the agreement about the funding formula and documents explaining what each amount for the formula computes to. The packet also includes estimates for the next three years.
"When they got the calculations for this year, that was not the first time they heard about our funding needs," Holloman said.
According to School Board Member Earl Taylor, the formula should be upheld by the commissioners since the school board has upheld its side of the agreement.
"What really disturbs me about this … is it's a written document that supports the children of OnslowCountyand it's been thrown out the window," he said.
BOE member Paul Wiggins said the letter from Hudsonwas like receiving divorce papers at work.
"I'm still reeling from the shock of it," he said.
Included in the schools' $3.021 million capital outlay fund budget is:
- $2.48 million for building and property maintenance and improvements.
- $369,474 for furniture and equipment.
- $163,056 for school buses and service vehicles.
Revenue for that budget is set to include $20,000 from sales tax reimbursement, $3 million from county appropriation and $1,000 from interest on investments.
Of the $55.9 million local current expense fund budget, $53.3 million isto continue ongoing services.
New additions to the budget include $2.43 million for computer equipment.
The budget's revenues includes $205,000 from the state for sales tax reimbursement, $4.645 million from federal revenues including impact aid, and more than $51 million from local revenue. Local revenue includes:
- $42,859,337 from county appropriation
- $30,000 from tuition
- $1 million from fines and forfeitures
- $75,000 from interest on investments
- $305,600 from school supplements reimbursement
- $500,000 from school athletic supplies reimbursement
- $5,000 from miscellaneous
- $15,000 from vending revenues
- $700,000 from indirect cost
- $5,595,166.30 from fund balance appropriated.
The Board of Education and Board of Commissioners have until July 1 to finalize their budgets. Schools Superintendent Kathy Spencer says she hopes the Board of Education will be able to approve the Onslow County Schools budget by the end of June.
"We're hopeful we have some resolution to this by June 27 so we can move forward," she said

The Groovy development team is happy to announce the joint release of Groovy 1.7.5 and Groovy 1.8-beta-2.
Both releases contain several bug fixes and minor improvements, but I'd particularly like to highlight two new features of Groovy 1.8-beta-2: closure composition and the new extended DSL capabilities. Make sure to have a look at the new features from the previous beta of 1.8 too, if you haven't had a chance so far.
If you recall your math lessons, function composition may be a concept you're familiar with. And in turn, closure composition is about that: the ability to compose closures together to form a new closure which chains the call of those closures. Here's an example of composition in action:
def plus2 = { it + 2 }
def times3 = { it * 3 }
def composed1 = plus2 << times3
assert composed1(3) == 11
assert composed1(4) == plus2(times3(4))
def composed2 = times3 << plus2
assert composed2(3) == 15
assert composed2(5) == times3(plus2(5))
// reverse composition
assert composed1(3) == (times3 >> plus2)(3)
To see more examples of closure composition and reverse composition, please have a look at our test case.
Groovy 1.8-beta-2 features the great work of our Google Summer of Code student, Lidia Donajczyk, who worked on an extension of the command expression notation (also known as GEP-3 / Extended Command Expressions). In a nutshell, Groovy allows you to omit dots and parentheses for chained methods calls, so that such calls look more like natural language sentences.
A few sentences this new DSL capability will allow you to write:
move left by 30.centimeters
sell 100.shares of MSFT
take 2.pills of chloroquinine in 6.hours
I've blogged about extended command expressions already, if you want to have some additional examples of sentences you can write, and you can have a look at the various examples published on the Groovy Web Console which also demonstrate how to construct such DSLs.
You can have a look at the JIRA release notes:
You can download those Groovy versions from the download area. And as usual, the artifacts will be sync'ed up with Maven's central repository.
Thanks a lot to everybody involved in those new releases.

Written by Curt Popejoy on 09/07/2010
The darling of Week 1 of the 2010 college football season has to be University of Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. Robinson carved up the Uconn Huskies defense for nearly 400 yards of total offense, and 2 touchdowns en route to a 30-10 opening week victory. The media is all abuzz with Robinson, calling him the new Heisman frontrunner, the new Pat White, and the savior of not only scumbag Rich Rodriguez's job, but the Michigan football program. I say he's none of those things…..yet.
Plenty of guys will lose the Heisman in the first couple of weeks of the season. Mark Ingram's shot to repeat vanished in an out-patient knee procedure and Jake Locker lost it by being, well, Jake Locker. But before Robinson starts booking a hotel in New York or trying to decide what kind of sandwich he's going to order at Katz's let's watch him play a little more. Just like a couple of years ago, when I had to bring the Terrelle Pryor and the multiple Heisman, multiple National Championship talk down, I am going to do the same for Robinson. So far, we've seen he's an exciting player. And against a very average Uconn defense, can be dynamic. But let's not be hasty. The Wolverines have 6 games by my count on their schedule, where the defense is going to test Robinson much more than the Husky D did, starting next week with Notre Dame.
But his Oklahoma Drill is in October. Will it be a trick or treat for the Wolverines as they get a 3 pack of Michigan State at home, then Iowa at home, followed with a road game against Penn State. If he comes out of those games alive, then I'll climb on the bandwagon going into those last two regular season games home against Wisconsin and a roadie against Ohio State. As much as I like Robinson's potential, there are just way too many potholes along the way.
Is he Pat White? Not yet. But I absolutely think in Rodriquez's system, he can be. Last year Michigan fans thought Tate Forcier was, but I never saw it. I do see it in Robinson. You can see his grasp of the system is strong, and he's got full buy in and endorsement by the coaches. Rich Rod always seemed to have an almost father/son relationship with White. We'll see if the same thing develops with Robinson. What White did that kept him in Rodriguez's good graces was win, and win as an unselfish player. We'll see if Robinson has that.
The reason I don't think Robinson will save Rodriquez is because in the final analysis, it's going to be the defense that makes or breaks him. Dual threat QBs are scattered all over the nation at high school programs and so getting his guy, if it's Robinson or someone else, isn't the challenge he's going to face. It's bringing in talent on defense, where the Wolverines have struggled in the past and in the Big Ten will be much needed. But never fear Wolverine faithful, Rich Rod can find guys who can play on defense, even if it's under, uhm…"questionable" circumstances. And he won't save Michigan football, because it doesn't need saving. Yeah, college football is better when Michigan is good, but let's be honest here. Michigan has tremendous college football cache' and if they are not bringing in elite talent every year, it's not because the players aren't out there. Look at a team like Boise State. They are finding 2 and 3 star recruits no one else wants and making them into great players. If Michigan wants to be great again, it'll take them being a smarter recruiting team than they have been in recent years.
What do I think of Robinson? I think he's a lot of fun to watch. I think he's more Pat White than Mike Vick and I think he's not in the same universe as Vince Young. He's going to have moments that are going to get Wolverine fans so excited. And others that will make them want to put flaming bags of crap on his porch. This is the nature of the position. What Pat White did that made him great was maximizing the first, and minimizing the second. I personally think after watching one game of Robinson this weekend, he tried to do too much on his own. Forced plays with his legs that he will need to be smarter about against better defenses. Sorry if I am a skeptic, but I want to see more from Robinson. He's going to have to use his head as well as his legs if he wants to lead the Wolverines to a big season. They have a tough go of it, and it's a lot to put on this sophomore's shoulders.

How did you get your start in disc golf?
I started playing with my family back in 1994 when we lived in Nicholasville KY. We (my parents and younger brother) would go out to Shilito park quite often with my aunt and uncle. I was six years old at the time.
How long have you played? How long have you played professionally?
I've played roughly 15 years off and on. When I got my drivers license I wanted an excuse to drive... Disc golf was the first thing I did, and I've played pretty steady since. I started competing professionally in 2006. That is the same year Gateway started sponsoring me. I had no use for the plastic that I was winning in the AM devision, so I just decided to start playing open.
Which courses do you play the most in Bowling Green?
I've probably played Kereiakes and Lovers Ln. the most. Lately I've been going to White park and the Riverview course (on the ball golf course at Hobson) more than anything. I love to get out and play GOLF.
Who's been the biggest inspiration in your game?
I started playing with Shawn Sinclair quite a bit when him and Juliana moved to Bowling Green. He's influenced my game more than anyone. We've never really done lessons or anything like that, I've just learned so much by watching him.
When you were coming to the Kentucky State Championships did you ever imagine going home with the title of State Representative?
Absolutely! If you don't believe it, you don't stand a chance. I'd worked really hard leading up to that one. I've been super busy with school this semester and haven't really had the chance to get out and play much. But, I've got a huge field by where I'm living now and I've been going out there and throwing in my free time. I've also been working on putting quite a bit. Hard work always pays off.
When did you start to realize that the title was likely to be yours?
I really tried not to think about it while I was on the course. I was just trying to take one shot at a time. Coming down the stretch, I let some of those USDGC thoughts creep in and I missed some putts because of it. I thought that Andy Ritter had caught me, and I knew that Eric Roadhouse and Scott Reif were probably hot on my tail. I had no idea till the scores came in.
How did it feel knowing that you had clutched the spot?
It felt totally surreal. I felt so honored to get the spot out of all the fantastic golfers in this state that have been beating me everywhere I go. I've been keeping up with the USDGC for years, watching the videos and everything. I can't believe I actually get to go this year!
How will you practice for the USDGC?
Probably much of the same. I've found it best to go to an open field and throw a bunch of hyzers, anhyzers, and flat shots. I'm also probably going to set up some boundaries that I'll have to throw within. More importantly, I'm going to devote a lot of time to putting. It would be great to play a bunch of tournaments this year leading up to it, but I'm going to be super busy.
Will Ketley (Kevin's fiance) be going to Rock Hill with you? If so will she caddy for you?
Yeah, she's going to caddy for me. She caddied for me at worlds last year and I thoroughly enjoyed her being there. It's so nice to have someone there rooting for you like she does (and taking the weight of that bag).
You guys will be married then right?
Yeah, we're getting married on May 29th.
Is there anyone you would like to thank?
First I have to thank Ketley. She's been very encouraging, and is more excited for me then anyone else. Big thank you to my parents who have been supporting me and paying my way in to the last few tournaments. Luckily I've been able to pay them back. A HUGE thank you to Jeremy Watts and the KY State Disc Golf folks who are supporting me by paying my way into the USDGC.
I'd also like to thank my sponsors Disc Golf Shop & More and Gateway
Disc Sports. I got a great crew backing me up! Thanks all!!

24 New Oxford Street, W.C.1.
BARCELONA. At an emergency meeting of the Central Committee after the bombing of Barcelona, it was decided to send 5 ambulances full of medical supplies, especially anaesthetics, out to the city. The Mayor of Barcelona had already asked for our help, and it was felt in view of the urgency of the situation that ambulances should be sent at once. We hope that by the time the Bulletin reaches you they will already be at work. They are to form the advance guard of an international caravan that is leaving Paris on April 14th, the anniversary of the declaration of the Republic. The need of the people of Barcelona is desperate and we felt that we could not hold back the ambulances till April 14th and we should therefore send them ahead of the rest of the caravan.
CATGUT. An urgent telegram reached the Committee a few weeks ago for large supplies of silkworm gut and catgut from the Spanish authorities. £40 worth was dispatched by air at once, and we heard later that enormous quantities had had to be destroyed in Spain because of a case of tetanus that had developed owing to faulty supplies.
THE RETREAT FROM BELCHITE. Here is an account of the Retreat from Belchite from one of our drivers who is just back on leave. "The work of the Committee and its members has been in evidence on all fronts and generally where the work has been heaviest. Since the main fighting has been on the Aragon Front, its work has extended even further as not only have we had our drivers serving the front, but we also have had personel assisting the doctors in the line, and one nurse worked with an ambulance fitted out to do small operations before evacuating cases to the front line hospital. Thus our work extends from the actual front to the base hospitals. Ambulances doing this kind of work have to undergo a severe strain and get covered with holes from machine gun fire and shrapnel and sometimes put out of action for a time. This puts an added strain on our already overworked drivers and means longer waiting periods for the wounded.
"Since the German and Italian Air Forces have become so active bombing the villages behind the lines it has meant that the hospitals we have established have had on many occasions to be evacuated and moved further back.
"In the new Fascist drive from Belchite, we have had the worst period since the war began. In a small valley about 3.5 kilometres from Hijar, a hospital was established consisting of 3 tents, one for Triaje, one for operating and one for a ward. Our immediate surroundings were bombed continuously and eventually the camp was hit. Two American nurses were wounded and one of the unit members, Ada Hodgson, went on with her work while blood flowed freely from a wound in her head. The tent was torn into shreds by the shrapnel, but no patients were hurt.
"The second raid on this camp killed the driver of the auto-chir and wounded two other comrades. As soon as possible we retired from the camp but unfortunately the next site for a hospital was worse and we were unable to set up the tents, and after a few hours waiting in small gullies for the planes to go we once again retired.
"It is under these conditions that one realises the value of our ambulances. The journey from the front to the first dressing station is increased as the front line hospital is unable is unable to function well if at all. Wounded at the front have to wait longer periods before evacuation, and when the retreat is fairly rapid many have to be left behind as was done in the retreat from Belchite."

Floating the Flop to Bluff the Turn – Poker Strategy Power Moves
Spend three minutes right now learning to float the flop in order to set up a sweet bluff on the turn in the latest Poker Strategy Power Moves video. Good fundamentals are important in poker but there are tons of special poker moves you can use to win more money. These days when a player raises before the flop, you can count on them making a continuation bet on the flop almost all the time. Because most starting hands miss the flop about two out of three times, you can catch those players continuation betting with really weak hands. Floating refers to calling their continuation bet on the flop with the intention of winning the pot by bluffing later in the hand. To float the flop successfully, make sure to remember these three things: #1 – Floating the flop works better when you're in position because you can pick up on your opponent's weakness if they check to you on the turn. #2 – This move is designed for heads-up pots so don't bother trying it if you're up against more than one opponent. #2 – You'll win more pots with this move if you use it against weaker players because they're less likely to bet again on the turn and the river. To float the flop successfully it's really important to know your opponent. Look for players who are opening a lot of pots and continuation betting every flop. A lot of players know they should be aggressive but have a hard time going beyond a preflop raise and one continuation bet. Good players, however, are tough and they won't roll over just because you called the flop and bet the turn. If you do float the flop against a really good player and they bet again on the turn, it doesn't always mean they have a good hand. If you still thing they're bluffing, consider raising on the turn. Calling the flop and raising the turn is a really strong line and you can force even good hands to fold. But remember, this is a dangerous play and it should only be used when you have a really strong read on your opponent.

The Stop and Go Survival Play – Poker Strategy Power Moves
The stop and go is a special poker move you can use to survive when you're shortstacked in a poker tournament and you can learn it right now in under three minutes. It starts with you in the small or big blind, and another player raising before the flop. Instead of moving all-in, you can just call the raise with the intention of moving all-in on the flop no matter what cards come. The problem with just moving all-in before the flop is that the original raiser will be getting a really good price to call your shove, putting you at risk of elimination. If you just call, though, your opponent will miss the flop a lot of the time and when you move all-in, he'll be forced to fold a lot of hands he would have called with preflop. To use the Stop and Go successfully you have to remember three things: #1 – This move works best when you've got between five and big blinds so it's only useful in tournaments, not cash games. #2 – This move works best when you have big cards or a pocket pair because your hand will have better equity when you do get called on the flop. #3 – This move works best against short to medium stacks. If the raiser has a huge stack they'll be more comfortable calling with a wider range on the flop. The whole point of this move is to win the pot without putting yourself at risk of elimination. If your opponent is raising with two unpaired cards, he's going to miss the flop about two thirds of the time. By putting him to a decision on the flop, he's likely to fold a lot of hands that he would have been right to call with preflop. The stop and go is a survival play, and you can use it increase your stack without having to gamble on a preflop all-in. Visit PokerListings.com, the all-in poker guide.
Set-Mining 101 - Poker Strategy Power Moves
Set-mining is a powerful poker strategy move that you learn in just three minutes. It's great for beginner and intermediate players because it takes a lot of the guesswork out of playing low and medium pocket pairs. Set-mining refers to calling a raise with a pocket pair, with the main intention of trying to flop three of a kind. A set is another name for three of a kind and when you flop one, it's an opportunity to get paid big. The idea is, if your opponent raised with a big hand like pocket aces, it's going to be really tough for them to fold on a board that looks so safe. Set-mining is great for beginner and intermediate players because it makes your decisions on the flop really simple: If you don't flop a set you can shut down, if you do, try to get paid. When you get more experienced you'll realize that just because someone raises, it doesn't mean they always have a premium hand. And when you start calling with pocket pairs in position you'll learn that you don't always need to flop a set to win the pot. Sometimes your opponent will have raised with two big cards and will miss the flop completely. When you're in position with a pocket pair you can make your opponent fold overcards by betting, or get to the river and showdown the best hand.

The Cold Four-Bet Bluff - Poker Strategy Power Moves
The cold four-bet is a powerful bluffing move that can win you pots, regardless of what your cards are. In this intermediate poker strategy video we break down exactly how to cold four-bet bluff, and we do it in less than three minutes. At its most basic a cold four-bet refers to putting in a re-re-raise before the flop as your first action in a hand. So for example, if one player raises, another player three-bets and you come in with another raise, that's a cold four-bet. Cold four-betting as a bluff isn't a beginner move and there are a few things you need to look out for to make sure you're not spewing money. First, look for players who are open-raising a lot because chances are, they don't have a premium hand every time. It's more dangerous to cold four-bet bluff against a tight player because they're more likely to have a monster hand that they won't fold. Second, make sure the other players at the table respect your raises. If you've been bluffing a lot, or just picking up a ton of big hands and doing a lot of raising, your opponents will be more suspicious of your four-bet and therefore more likely to call. It's also better to four-bet bluff when you have position on your opponents because they'll be less inclined to call and have to play the rest of the hand out of position. Watch the fourth episode of Poker Power Moves to learn an effective new bluffing technique you can add to your poker game today.
The Squeeze Play Bluff – Poker Strategy Power Moves
There are situations in poker where the right move at the right time can make all the difference to your bottom line. Today we break down one of the best poker strategy moves: the Squeeze Play. A squeeze play is a bluff that you can use to pick up chips, even when you can't pick up a good hand. When a loose/aggressive player raises, and one more players just call behind him, it sets up a spot where you can re-raise and win the pot regardless of what your cards are. Squeeze plays work best in tournaments when the blinds and antes make the pot big enough to go after, but it is also a very effective cash-game strategy when used correctly. There are a few things you need to keep an eye out for when you're looking for spots to squeeze. The first is a loose and aggressive player opening the pot. Just because an aggressive player raised doesn't mean they have a big hand and a lot of the time they won't have a good enough hand to stand up to your re-raise. The second thing is one or more players just calling. Chances are if they had a premium hand they would raise. By calling they're telling you they have a marginal hand that can't call a big re-raise. The third thing to think about is your position. It's always better to bluff when you have position on your opponents because they'll be less inclined to call before the flop and if they do call, they'll have to play out of position for the rest of the hand. The last thing you need to remember is to make your re-raise big enough to push your opponents out of the hand. Usually about 25 big blinds total will do the job. Bluffs like the squeeze play are intermediate moves so make sure you have a solid understanding of poker fundamentals before you start getting creative with moves like this.
The Light Three-Bet - Poker Strategy Power Moves
The second entry in our beginner poker strategy series Poker Power Moves is the light three-bet, an effective way to pick up chips in cash games and tournaments even when you can't pick up a hand. Light three-betting is when you think a player is raising before the flop with a weak hand, and you re-raise him with a hand you'd normally fold. To three bet light successfully you have to remember these three things: #1: Look for players who are playing too loose and aggressive and opening lots of pots. It's even more likely that they're weak if they're raising when it's folding to them in late position. #2: Three-betting light from the blinds is a common play but it's even better to do it when you have position on your opponent since you'll keep that position for the rest of the hand if he calls. #3: Don't three-bet light with easily dominated hands like weak aces because you'll get stuck in tricky spots after the flop if they call. Instead, three-bet light with sneakier hands like suited connectors. Three-betting light is so effective because you're exploiting a common mistake, playing too loose and aggressive before the flop. A lot of intermediate players automatically raise when it folds to them in late position, but they don't know what to do when they get re-raised. This move is especially important in tournaments when the blinds and antes are getting big. Players will be going after the dead money and they'll be opening too many pots with weak hands. By three-betting light in the right spots, you can chip up without having to pick up a big hand. Visit PokerListings.com, the all-in poker guide.
The Triple Barrel Bluff – Poker Strategy Power Moves
Every serious poker player has an arsenal of special poker moves they use to beat their opponents. Today we'll show you one of the best moves: the triple-barrel bluff. It's called a three-barrel bluff because you fire three bets to force your opponent to fold, one on the flop, one on the turn, and one on the river. To triple-barrel bluff successfully you need to remember these three things. #1: Tell a believable story. If you raised preflop, for example, your opponents will tend to put you on big cards so bluff more on boards that match up with what your opponent thinks you have. #2: Pay attention to the cards that come on the turn and river when deciding whether to keep bluffing. Overcards and cards that complete draws are great to bluff at if you put your opponent on a hand like top pair. #3: Never try this move on a calling station. If your opponent can't make a fold it's not going to matter how believable your bluff is. Triple-barreling is so effective because a lot of players will call one bet with marginal hands, but they won't be able to make the tough calls on the turn and river when the bets are getting big. So if you often find yourself making a continuation bet, then shutting down, and losing to a marginal hand at showdown, you should consider firing the second and third bullets if the conditions are right. As your reads get better you'll start to get a feeling for when your opponent isn't confident about the strength of his hand. That's the time to ramp up the aggression and consider a Triple-Barrel Bluff.

FIRST Robotics Team wins awardPublished Apr 3, 2013 at 10:40 am (Updated Apr 3, 2013 at 10:40 am)
Titanium Titans team members Tyler Keane, Varun Sharma, Sean Boyles and Casey Zakis working on their robot "Atlas" in the Pit at the 2013 Pittsburgh FIRST Regional FRC Competition.
The Titanium Titans Robotics team recently won the Rookie Inspiration Award for team organization, recruitment, sponsorship and team spirit at the 2013 FIRST Pittsburgh Regional Competition held March 15-16 in the Peterson Events Center in Oakland.
The team's robot, named Atlas, was designed to shoot frisbees a distance of 52-feet, with an adjustable deck for targeting and aiming. In addition, the robot was able to lift its weight and "climb" up one level on a 12-foot metal pyramid.
The Titanium Titans was started in October 2012 by a partnership between the Creative Learning Collaborative (CLC) and the Peters Township Public Library and is open to students in grades 9-12 in the South Hills who are interested in hands-on robotic design and engineering. Team sponsors are Comcast, the National Network of Digital Schools, PA Cyber, Tyco Electronics, Ironworkers Union #3 and the Peters Township Public Library.
The CLC is a parent-led community group sponsored by the Peters Township Public Library as a community-wide educational outreach. The group's mission is to create access to and excitement about STEM-based learning programs among students in the Canonsburg, Peters Township, Bethel Park, South Fayette and Upper St. Clair areas. Visit www.creativelearning-PT.org for more information about FIRST robotics and other exciting programs supported by the CLC.

Urban and Peri-urban Forestry
Urban and peri-urban forestry
Urban and peri-urban forestry (UPF) is the practice of managing forests, groups of trees and individual trees in and around urban areas in order to maximize their economic, livelihood, social, cultural, environmental and biodiversity values. UPF can serve a range of purposes and thus takes many forms, covering natural and planted forests and trees, forests maintained in watersheds or in drylands, forests and wooded areas, green spaces and street trees, as well as trees in urban/peri-urban gardens.
"For the first time, more than half the world's population live in cities and towns. By extension, urban and peri-urban forestry is becoming the window through which people make judgements about all the worlds' trees and forests. We must ensure that cities, trees and forests grow together to meet the needs of urbanized societies and to convey the importance of all forests to life on our planet".
After an interim period following the tragic loss of our colleague Michelle Gauthier in early 2013, a new team is now taking care of FAO's urban and periurban forestry programme.
Simone Borelli was appointed Agroforestry and Urban/Periurban Forestry Officer on 1 June 2014. Simone holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Management from the University of London, a Masters' Degree in Watershed Management from the University of Arizona, USA and a Bachelor's Degree in Forest Sciences from the University of Tuscia, Italy. He has worked for FAO in different capacities for over 15 years and has a wide perspective on forestry matters. He also worked for IPGRI and WWF.
Yujuan Chen joined the programme as Junior Professional Officer for Urban/Periurban Forestry and Trees Outside Forests on 14 July 2014. Yujuan obtained her Ph.D. in urban forestry from Virginia Tech (USA), earned her Master's degree in urban forestry from the Urban Forestry Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Forestry and completed her Bachelor's degree in horticulture at the Landscape Architecture Department of the Beijing Forestry University. Prior to joining FAO, she was a forestry specialist with New Jersey State Forestry Services in the U.S.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Michela Conigliaro who provided an essential contribution to the continuation of activities for the duration of this interim period and also Francois Côté and Sophie Laliberté for their excellent support to the programme from February to August 2014.

Last season, the Hebron Christian Eagles (1-3) and the Oak Hill Academy Raiders (0-4) started, what everyone hopes to be, a long-lasting rival series in Clay County.
Hebron traveled to Oak Hill in 2009, and they were sent away with a 14-0 loss.
This year, the Eagles will be hosting the Raiders, in a rematch, to see who wins the Clay County title in 2010.
Neither the Eagles nor the Raiders have a had a lot going for them in the first four weeks of the regular season.
The Eagles dropped their first two games, getting out-scored 79-6.
They finally got a 2010 win in week three at West Memphis Christian. They defeated the Black Knights 20-15.
They returned home last week, where they lost to Benton Academy 46-0. The Raiders are still seeking their first win of the season.
Last week, they traveled to Leake, where the Rebels defeated them 61-6.
Both teams still have the division portion of the season ahead of them, and they are hoping they have the best football ahead of them as well.
The Eagles have been out-scored 130-26 this season.
The Raiders have been out-scored 125-46.
