The TeenNick HALO Awards are on the way!Posted on 11/10/2010 by Chairman Nick Cannon
Hey y'all, Chairman Nick here! We're coming up on year two of my favorite awards show, and I couldn't be prouder. Last year, we flipped the script by getting celebrities to give awards to deserving teens. Our honorees Megan, Darrius, Brryan and Leah inspired us all to do great things with our lives, our abilities, and our voices.
And this year, we're doing it again just as big. If not bigger. Because HALO is more than an awards show... it's a movement.
When I say "a movement," I don't mean people will see the HALO Awards and be like, "If I volunteer, maybe I'll get to meet Justin Timberlake!"
What I mean is... I wanted us all to be reminded of our potential. How much we can do with our time and energy. How powerful our optimism can be. There's power in numbers, and this generation knows it better than any other generation in history. You were raised with the Internet; you were raised with a sense of how interconnected we all are. So it's up to you to light the way for the rest of the world.
You're going to be amazed when you meet this year's four new honorees. I get awestruck every time I think about them, and I grin ear to ear when I think about them getting the recognition and rewards they deserve. And we've got another no-joke lineup of celebrity presenters taking part, too -- I'm so grateful to them. It's gonna be a big night. December 10!
- Chairman Nick
Gigantic Trust IssuesPosted on 11/09/2010 by Mary
Why did Joey feel like he had to lie to Anna about playing poker? Do you think Maggie was right -- the Moores are too intimidating? Do you think it was because of the reason he needs the money in the first place? Either way... is the trust just not there between those two?
StayTeen.org says trust is at the top of the list of what guys and girls both say is the most important part of a relationship -- and honesty is second. What's at the top of the "healthy relationship" list for you? And... what does that mean for A&J?
I was also kind of blown away when I saw on StayTeen that "almost 1 in 5 teens say they don't know anyone who serves as an example of a healthy relationship." Who are your healthy relationship heroes, and what do you like about their dynamic?
Degrassi sneak peek pics!Posted on 11/08/2010 by Mary
More new Degrassi this week! Just one ep before the fall finale...
Can Adam really keep Fiona's attention?
What did Wesley just say to Connor and Dave?
And... well, place your bets on what's going on with Jenna and Sav...
Degrassi: Eli and Clare's Epic Hug
I have to say, I find this scene more romantic, warm, sweet, and loving than any kiss scene. It's just... it's one of THOSE hugs. One of those hugs when you know you just got really, truly closer to a person, by either really allowing yourself to be emotionally vulnerable to them, or by being there for someone who was vulnerable to you.
Have you ever had one of those hugs?
E-Clare's relationship makes me really, really happy.
Degrassi: Daaaang, St. Clare!
SPOILLLLLLLARRRSSS inside so don't click 'til you've watched the ep here it is if you need it.) Everyone who's all watched up... let's talk:
* You know, Drew definitely did not do right by Alli at Vegas night, but... I've got to hand it to him for being a pretty great brother. I remember when he first came on and was giving Riley static, it seemed like he was going to be a certain kind of dude, but I guess we know now that he's definitely more complex than that. What's your take on him?
* When you think about what really had to be going on in Eli's room -- I mean, when someone's a hoarder, it's not just piles of paper and clothes we're talking about, it's like... food wrappers -- could you be as awesome a gf/bf as Clare was to him? I feel like she showed him some seriously mature amounts of unconditional love in this episode, and it warmed my fuzzies. Was anyone out there too grossed out to get over it?
* Wesley is a nice, nice person. Wesley... you are REALLY nice. Do you guys think Dave deserves the niceness Wes showed him tonight? Would you have been Wes-like in those circumstances?
Tonight's Degrassi and Gigantic songs!
Here's all the song cues I could find from tonight's new episodes...
- "Castling" by The Narrative
- "Break" by Crown City Rockers -- you can hear samples of both songs over on the Gigantic page
- "Tonight I Love You" by The Latency -- you can hear a sample of this song over on the Degrassi page.
- "Daydreaming" by Nat Jay
- "Done for the Day" by Ryan Wotherspoon
The first scene of the next DegrassiPosted on 11/04/2010 by Mary
Here's a sneak peek at the first scene of Friday night's brand new Degrassi episode.
I'm keeping my commentary on lockdown for now except to say that I LOVE tomorrow's episode, especially... there's this one scene... which we will talk about after tomorrow night. OK. Shutting up now.
Gigantic's Ryan Rottman (aka Joey)Posted on 11/04/2010 by Mary
I chatted with Ryan Rottman -- Joey on Gigantic -- recently, and picked his brain about his real-life paparazzi type experiences. For the record: he's super nice, talks really fast but low-key at the same time, and was hanging out in Atlantic City when we spoke.
So are there really people like Vanessa who call the paparazzi and tell them to be places?
Oh, 100%. That definitely happens. Whether it's people's publicists that are just trying to get their face out there or just, Hollywood is full of people that just want to be famous. They want to see their face on a magazine or on TMZ.
Do they ever really call the paparazzi and then when the photographers show up, pretend to be annoyed?
Oh for sure. They'll call them and completely act annoyed, and, "Oh I can't believe they're here," and be rude to the paparazzi, because they don't want anyone to know that they [called them]. They'll totally play aloof. It happens probably more often than you think it does.
But there are also people who just genuinely get attacked by the paparazzi, right?
Yeah. If you're a huge star, they all follow you. And if you're going somewhere, they'll show up, and then if someone else shows up and the paparazzi are already there, they'll get their picture, too. But if it's not a massive star, the paparazzi are probably not just following them. They probably called.
So, among the Gigantic cast you're the one who, if I search on your name, these alleged details about your private life show up...
All over.
What does that feel like? Is it ever flattering to think that people care about your personal life, or is it stressful, do you ignore it... how do you deal?
I kinda do my best not to pay any attention to it and not to follow that whole thing. But of course, you see it certain places or you hear about it so, you want to know what people are saying about you. You do have to pay attention to it.
But it's just weird. It's weird that people care enough to take pictures or write about you, or just care what you're doing, or whether you're in a relationship. And seeing a picture of yourself walking out of some place like a Ralph's grocery store -- it's really strange.
Have you ever seen pictures of yourself that you didn't know were being taken?
Oh yeah. 100%. They hide everywhere, and they're across the street -- you never see them. And then two days later, you see it online. It's awkward. You kinda feel like you're being stalked.
Yeah! I would feel so violated! And it's just that you don't have the same right to privacy that everyone else has because... you're an actor?
Yeah. And most of the time it's not me, it's the company I keep. When I hang out with friends who are very successful actors and stuff like that, it's very uncomfortable because [the photographers] are in your face and they're behind your car. And you just feel violated. It's like someone breaking into your car or your house, that feeling you get afterwards when you know someone's been in there. Just a very uncomfortable feeling.
I can imagine also that if you're known as a couple and then go through a breakup -- if people are talking about it in gossip columns, that's gonna make it feel even worse right?
Oh for sure. Whether you're with someone or you're not with someone, the last thing you want is to read or see someone talking about your relationship. It's none of their business whatsoever.
Right. It's sort of one of Gigantic's themes, how Hollywood is basically high school amplified -- so people can imagine that in high school you don't want people talking on Facebook about your relationship. It hurts no matter what.
Exactly, it would be like a blog in high school talking about everyone in the school.
Do you feel like the public has any responsibility to not read that stuff because it is damaging to real human beings? Can anything be done?
At this point, in our technological era, I don't think anything can be done. People are gonna read it; everyone wants to be outside of their own life.
So, you have a production company, right?
Yeah, we actually just finalized our next project which is James Franco's next film. It's called The Broken Tower; it's about a gay professor at Yale, one of the first to come out. Actually I have a small part in it as well, and James is directing it and starring in it. With our company, we set out to make movies that have substance... There are these amazing scripts in town that aren't getting made, so we wanted to make it our goal to find these scripts, these projects that are inspiring and that have meaning to them and get those made.
Plus it must be an actor's dream to be able to produce films you would actually want to be in.
Yeah, and we know James well and that's why we teamed up with him, because that's exactly how it is. He wants to make projects that have some meaning behind them; he's about the art and telling the story, and that's what I kind of idolize and strive for.
Sneak peek pics of Friday's Degrassi!Posted on 11/03/2010 by Mary
Here is a picture of something that will happen on this Friday's Degrassi.
Oh, and look! Another picture of a thing. A Degrassi thing.

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.
The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.
If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming's wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.
The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.
Please be a voice for our wild horses before their time runs out. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly contact the BLM. Urge the agency to adopt policies that give horses their fair share of habitat and keep them on the range where they belong.
On behalf of the horses, we thank you!
Wild horses must be protected and not sent to slaughtering houses, shame on you.
These horses were supposed to have been protected by the passage of the ROAM Act. Due to politics and the politicians the act has not been followed. These horses are a part of the American heritage and should be protected as the ROAM Act intended.
These horses have lived WILD For YEARS. LEAVE THEM ALONE AND LET THEM RAISE THEIR OFFSPRING IN PEACE.
There is so much animal cruelty and abuse in the world. So much suffering, neglect, tragedy.
There are so many stories of animal cruelty with unhappy endings. Nobody in government seems to care about animals. So the cruelty and abuse is allowed to continue.
And the animal cruelty is not limited to just the public. Our government has been involved in more than it's fair share. Animals that should be left alone are messed with. Wolves, sharks, prairie dogs, you name it. And of course let's not forget the wild horses.
The blame for this travesty falls completely on our governent. Once again, why leave things alone when they can be messed with. It's time to break the cycle and leave the wild horses alone.
The BLM policies are UNACCEPTABLE! Human greed is destroying everything on this planet - ultimately it will destroy humankind itself - and that will be fully justified!
The wild horse population of the United States must be protected and cherished!
Responsible stewardship of these horses would includes vaccinations, designated ranges for grazing and gelding, not round-ups with planes, pens and slaughterhouses.
When does the government going to quit being involved in things that they do not need to be involved in. These animals were there before there was a government. I guess it is no different than the health care that they are involved in. LET THE HORSES RUN FREE AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS!
These noble, beautiful and spirited animals deserve to be able to roam free. They don't deserve to be stripped of their freedom they so rightfully earned. These are the animals that carried us upon their backs during war and charged to their death to please us. Fight for their rights!!!!
GIVE OUR HORSES FREEDOM. It's as simple as that.
Can Congress help? Cannot they demand that BLM's wild horse managements 'plans' adhere to Congress's initial order ... "to care for them as cultural icons". Cannot SOMEONE in Government not protect Checkerboard for the horses? I'm born British, horse lovers all of us, now I live in Victoria, BC, Canada.
I'm working for the Bill C-322 now in Parliament to stop live horse import/exportation and the sale of their Bute-laced carcinogenic meat to tables abroad. The cruelty I hear about is outrageous. Those sad horses are captives, but why cannot the States allow its remaining wild horses to roam Free. The American 'wild mustang' is known and loved worldwide, it is an icon, it is a jewel among creatures, it means American history. Could Viggo Mortensen start a class-action suit from Americans who are having all this taken away from them and their country? Surely somehow the BLM can be brought to task.

Martinez Just Misses Game-Winner; Women's Soccer Draws 0-0 at Newberry Keeping Shutout Streak Alive
October 26, 2010
MISENHEIMER, NC - Pfeiffer University and host Newberry battled to a 0-0 draw in double overtime action on Tuesday afternoon. Mariah Martinez (League City, T.X.) had the best opportunity of the match hitting the crossbar on the game's final shot with 23 seconds remaining. Pfeiffer blanks its fourth-straight opponent not allowing a goal in the last 437 minutes and 20 seconds.
Newberry (4-11-1) fired off 17 shots, five on goal, but failed to put the game winner in the back of the net. Pfeiffer (10-5-1), which is ranked eighth in the NCAA Division II Southeast Region rankings, outshot the Wolves with 17, nine on goal.
Newberry goalie Megin Hrenchir (Lawrence, Kan.) stopped all nine Falcon attempts at goal, playing the full 110 minutes in front of the net.
The Wolves were led offensively by freshman Bianca Warders (Irmo, S.C.) three shots. Junior Jesse Langdon (Raleigh, N.C.) took two shots, both on goal, with teammates Amberly Fowler (Greenville, S.C.), Meagan Heney (Ajax, Ontario, Canada) and Tiffany Kinner (North Myrtle Beach, S.C.) each taking two shots as well.
Pfeiffer was led by Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, Mich.) and Megan Reaves (Mims, Fla.) who each had four shots and two on target.
Pfeiffer will wrap up the 2010 regular season on Saturday at St. Andrews. The Lady Falcons, still looking for a shot at the #2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament, will kick off at 1:00 p.m. with the Knights.

Branch Manager Ashley Pierce was overcome with emotion during Wednesday's open house and ribbon cutting with the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce, as she spoke of the branch's five staff members — several have more than 20 years of experience with local credit unions.
"These five women are so amazing, and they have taught me so much," she said.
Self-Help, which is headquartered in
It is the second-largest state-chartered credit union in
The DuPont credit union was only available to DuPont employees, and it became Carolina Family in 1996 in order to expand its customer base.
Today, Self-Help is working to increase its visibility in Eastern North Carolina — it operates four branches in the east, serving more than 10,000 members, under their individual names, but officials are putting the Self-Help name on all branches "in order to create a uniform member service experience, statewide," according to its recent newsletter.
"Credit unions, by definition, are nonprofit," Beck said Wednesday.
He said profits are pushed back into helping members. Beck and other Self-Help officials present at Wednesday's open house stressed the credit union is open to all community residents —
Their primary borrower base is low and medium-income, minority or female, or others who have a harder time borrowing from traditional banks.

"We do have a mission to make loans to small business owners, primarily low-wealth, minority, women," he said.
The Self-Help branches also offer full-service retail checking and savings accounts, and home, auto and other loans.
"We're really working to make sure home loans stay within reach of low and middle-income customers," Beck said.
Customer service is also stressed, to where branch staffers know long-time customers on a first-name basis.
"That's something that's very important to me, that when people walk in they feel like they're at home," said Wendy Moore, collections officer and operations manager, who has been with Carolina Family and Self-Help for 12 years." They're not just a number."
Gincy Stephens, a customer service representative and teller at Self-Help, started working with the DuPont credit union in 1990.
"It's just rewarding to me," she said. "This is all I've ever done, so I just like it."

HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Coker College men's soccer team has been voted as the preseason favorite for the 2012 season. As the defending Conference Carolinas regular season and tournament champions, the Cobras are a preseason No. 18 pick in the National Collegiate Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) poll. Pfeiffer University was predicted to finish 11th in 2012.
"It's very pleasing to be recognized by our fellow conference teams," said head coach Paul Leese. "Conference Carolinas is incredibly strong in men's soccer, so to be voted No. 1 is a tremendous achievement. I am particularly pleased for our current seniors who have transformed the program during their time here. We know it will be tough to defend our conference title but we hope to continue developing as a team and we want to make Coker and the Hartsville community proud."
The Cobras are returning 11 veterans from an 18-3 squad that logged a 10-1 record in league play. Returners include last season's conference player of the year, Carlos Recinos as well as five all-conference performers; James Sweeney, Atticus Lum, Fernando Bedoya, Rommel Fondin and Stephen Scrivens.
Recinos led the attack on the season with 13 goals and 10 assists to combine for a team high 36 points. Fondin added to the attack power with four goals and five assists, while Scrivens was right behind tallying three goals and three assists. Sweeney was a brick wall for the Cobras only allowing 13 goals on the season and collecting an 81.7 save percentage. Lum and Bedoya gave the opposing offenses' little chance to score only allowing 71 shots on goal for the year.
To add more fuel to the fire, the Navy and Yellow added seven new recruits to their 2012-13 lineup that includes three defenders and four offensive specialists.
The Limestone College men's soccer team enters the 2012 campaign returning 55 out of 58 goals scored from a season ago. The Saints, who led the nation with 3.05 goals per game in 2011, finished 12-7 overall and 7-4 in league play last year while advancing to the Conference Carolinas Tournament Semifinals.
The Lees-McRae College men's soccer is primed to take a big leap in Lee Squires' second year at the helm, returning 12 lettermen from the 2011 squad, which finished runner-up in the race for both the conference regular season and tournament titles en route to the program's fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. The Bobcats return a veteran corps led by senior John Williams, and juniors Thomas Rusling and James Galvani.
Coach Squires and the Bobcats posted a sterling 15-6-1 record last season, including a 9-2 mark in league play, as Galvani and Smith combined for 17 goals, 14 assists, and 46 points to lead the LMC attack. Rusling will be called up to anchor the Bobcat defense once again, carrying a career goals against average of 1.07 into the season, which ranks third all-time in program history.
"I think we have a point to prove to people this year," said Squires. "We want to get back to being top of the conference and region at the end of the season, and we are working very hard to achieve this. It's a tough league, and there are no easy games, so we have to be prepared for each and every game."
Barton & Erskine finished tied for fourth in the poll, followed by Queens, King, North Greenville, Belmont Abbey, Mount Olive and Pfeiffer respectively rounding-out the poll standings.

Associated Press
Dubai's government-run oil company says it has started importing supplies from Qatar and is seeking other sources in apparent moves to replace Iranian crude lost because of international sanctions. Sunday's statement from the Emirates National Oil Co. said it could seek to expand imports from the Middle East and Asia to help meet rising demand in the city-state, which has little of its own oil unlike neighboring Abu Dhabi. The statement did not mention Iran, but Dubai was a major buyer of Iranian condensate — light oil ready for refineries — and faced U.S. pressure to stop the flow.

0-8 at home
0-6 against the Spurs. I can't buy a win versus them. I'll just start marking down 4 losses at the beginning of the season.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
well at least I'm over .500...by a game lol
but 2 20 Rebound games for Zo, a triple double for Zo(22 Reb,16 Ast, 22Pts), Player of the Month for Zo, man I might actually get some points this time around.
However still too close to 500, and while I got payback on the Nets, lost to the Lakers again ugh

HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
Sweet Tony got rookie of the month. Rip is shooting 50 % and 43 % from 3, Steve Hunter giving some nice production off the bench..Why is K-Mart shooting so much? I dont even have him as a top 3 option and he shoots more than everyone but Tony and has a 34 fg%
Went 4-4 this sim, experimenting with playing styles may switch back to outside but man Amaechi is going ham lol Dude is putting up 20 and 8 not as a scoring option. Scott Pollard is having games that just dosen't make sense for him like 17 and 18 type games then he'll have 1 and 3 type games lol Franchise is second in assists.

Cute and colorful but sad-looking envelopes
My fiance and I had the most difficult time agreeing on invitations. We both liked completely different things and looked on so many websites! We found this one on a whim as it was included in our samples package. Right away, we both loved it! The design is fresh and sweet and I loved that we were able to change any and all colors and fonts. My only complaint is that some of the envelopes that we got for our invites as well as some of the envelopes for our RSVP cards came to us scuffed and all of the envelopes have a crinkle in them from where they were bound together which is a bummer, but I guess they aren't too important in the long run.
More than I expected
I ordered my save the dates from magnet street and was happy with the outcome, so I decided to order my invites from here as well. I saw the picture of this particular invite and loved it. When I started doing the personalization...I thought the card might look cartoon like...but I was pleasantly surprised when the invites came back. The quality and look were amazing and the production turn around time was great. I got the invites about 8days after ordering. I am very pleased and would recommend this product to anyone.

I have used the hardware version of the Cooper Time Cube many times and I must say the the plug in faithfully re creates the original..only better
briefly: indispensable for voices, lead and solo...
A very great and unique delay... delay...delay....
However, it would be useful if we could see the values ??of the buttons. So I always have to switch to the generic control panel of Cubase 7. The marks on the buttons are a bit too small.
Because I use a 27 "screen it would be great if I could zoom the Plug-In for a better view. In the evening my eyes are sometimes very tired when I have to adjust things so small on the screen.
delay plugin that will give you all you need from delay, one big missing for me was that there is no filter and resonance for the delay signal - but i know that it was not on the original cooper time cube MK || but i wish it will be this thing inside...
You don't need this but you'll want it. It has a unique sound unlike any other delay I've tried.
very very good at getting precise increments of delay time dialed in. also very good at adding subtle width wherever you may see fit.
I use it all the time and thank my lucky stars every day for the tools UA has created for my toolbox
Not just your regular delay..
First and foremost, this is an extremely effective tool for widening the sound field.
Secondly it is a different sounding delay module, with really effective filtering.
Initially I didn't get it, now I couldn't work without it!
Just love this plugin. I have a few different delays, but this one is overall the best and often come back to this after trying others. The immediacy of it makes it a breeze to use and it just sounds great! Never used the original so can't comment on it's authenticity but who cares! I use it on vocals, drums (mainly snare), acoustic / electric guitar. Pretty much works on anything in a lead or backing context. Awesome!
Nice sounding delay, good for the usual subtle delay stuff, great slap back but if you go mad with it you can get some great looping effects, it becomes a bit of an instrument. Good stuff.
This is one of the better delay/doublers I have used.
It has an organic feel and always feels within my control.
I agree with those who praise it's quality of sitting well in the mix.
I did not know exactly what to expect from a plugin meant to model a garden hose. However, it has come to be my favorite snare drum enhancer of all time. It adds heft to drums while providing as little or much delay to each channel as dialed in. Very nifty!
The Cooper Time Cube MkII made my life a lot easier and more fun, too.
From subtle to extreme there are lots of options to get creative juices flowing.
The ability to create space around a singer or instrument with two different very short delays gives outstanding results. You won't even notice that it is there until it's gone.
No Handbook needed - instant fun!
I love the cooper time cube. When I saw the video Fab did with Joe Chicarelli I was blown away by what it could do for a vocal. After getting the apollo i got the plug in and was blown away how easily i got to the same settings he used for the Young the Giant song. My clients always smile when I hook up this plug in. UA ROCKS!!!
tried the demo was surprized how good it sounded on guitar also used on vox had to buy this plugin . Make instruments & vox fit well in mix with a warm sounding delay
I purchased this as I got a coupon. I've never used the hardware so I didn't know what I could expect. Next day I had a mix down session. I need a kind of stereo spread short delay. Tried some thing else first, tried Roland Dimesion or CE1, they didn't sound right for me. Put this Coopers in. Wow, everyone in the mix room say "That's it!" . Job done!
Can't explain technically. just great sound. Must have for me now.
The best, most natural sounding plug I've found for subtle reverb and delay effects for my reverb buss. Everything sounds like it's in the perfect room with the Cooper time cube. I've mostly used it on busses so far and so far I've found it's best use for me has been in the vocal reverb buss. It has replaced my TC series 6000 verbs as my most used on both vocals and acoustic guitar tracks.
I've been looking for a delay for quite a while that is easier to get the results I've wanted. Dials that allow for more precise manipulation of the left and right delay time. Delay that's not muted and muddy. This unit has a nice clear delay and is quick to set. Nice pre-sets as well.
This plug-in produces a very pristine (yet, not harsh) sounding delay. No muddiness or unwanted artifacts are left behind. If you have the Cooper Time Cube and the EP-34 tape delay plug-in, you're set with all the delay flavours you could possibly need to create great sounds!
I personally use this delay unit the most out of 8 different delay plug-ins as I focus on R&B, Rap and new-age Soul music and most of the time I am looking for clean delays that are easy and quick to use.
I do not have anything negative to say about this product!
My go-to Haas Effect maker.
One day I played with this and you can actually hear the garden hose clear as day on one of the settings. That was bizarre.
Every project since i bought it.
A-m-a-z-i-n-g ! Even though it's a crime for this plug to not have a wet/dry knob, I still give it five stars. My favorite delay plug ever, without a doubt. Insanely strong at beefing up vocals or creating long, quirky delays. Feed this into the EMT Plate 140 and put some diapers on!

BEAUFORT — Capt. Dale Murphy was part of the sea trials for the R/V Cape Hatteras before it launched off Beaufort in 1981.
He joined the crew as a second mate, and now as captain will lead its final trip before it is retired as a research vessel after 31 years of service.
"I made the first one and now I'm going to make the last," he said Monday before the Cape Hatteras set sail on its last major research cruise, a 10-day collaborative venture for tagging striped bass. A shorter educational activity for undergraduates and graduate students at Duke and six UNC system campuses later this month will be the last before the ship is officially available for sale.
The R/V Cape Hatteras is owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium.
Its home port has been Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort; and that has made the job particularly appealing for Murphy, a Carteret County native who loves his travels at sea but equally loves being able to return home.
"It's been a great job and it's been a job at home," he said. "Myself and the other members of the crew were born and raised here and it's not that easy to find a well-paying, seagoing job in Carteret County and you have to go off somewhere are travel. This one was here and that made a difference."
Murphy said they have averaged 12 to 15 cruises a year; and when they have been at sea, the research projects have taken them across the East Coast and to the Caribbean.
"We've done a lot of work in the Caribbean and on the coral reefs," Murphy said.
Many other adventures come to mind, including a whale census in the Gulf of Mexico and the first sediment surveys after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf.
In June 2010, a team aboard the Cape Hatteras conducted a 10-day research cruise in waters affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. The primary objective was to quantify the amount of methane from the spill being retained or dissolved in the water column and emitted into the atmosphere.
"We've done a lot of work over the past 31 years," he said.
At the heart of each trip has been the ship's crew, and Murphy gives them credit for the success of the Cape Hatteras.
"It's as good a crew as I've ever worked with and I'm going to miss them all," he said. "We're all going to go different places, and some of us have been together for 25 or more years."
Dr. Dick Barber, interim director of the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium, said that the R/V Cape Hatteras still has a good 10 years of life left and the fact that it is in better shape than the average ship its age is a testament to the crew's good work.
But a decision by the National Science Foundation and its ship operations group means the 135-foot oceangoing vessel is being retired and up for sale as of Feb. 1. If it is not sold, it could end up in a scrap yard.
Murphy hopes to see a new vessel take the place of Cape Hatteras.
"This is a big economic thing for Carteret County," he said. "There are a lot of people, not just the crew, the suppliers, the maintenance people they bring in, that are impacted. It's going to leave a hole."
According to a 2008 study by the Carolina Center for competitive Economies at UNC-Chapel Hill, the UNNCOC and R/V Cape Hatteras produced $122,378,256 total impact on the state's economy over the 26 years from 1982 to 2007, an average of $4.7 million per year.

After all, several ingredients are adding up for the Spartans, not the least of which being Trevis Simpson arriving right on cue.
Simpson knocked in a career-best 41 points — the most ever for a UNCG player in Division I — in Sunday afternoon's 77-69 victory against visiting
"I thought we did a nice job of building on a really nice win against Samford (on Thursday night)," UNCG coach Wes Miller said. "It just seems nice to win two games in a row that come down to the wire. It lets us believe in ourselves."
The Spartans (6-13 overall, 4-4 Southern Conference) have consecutive victories for the first time this season. That's the momentum they'll carry into Thursday night's tilt against North Division leader
Simpson, a 6-foot-4 junior swingman, scored 12 points in the last 8½ minutes. He's hitting a groove at an ideal time for the
"It felt like
The 41 points matched the school record set by Bruce Shaw on Jan. 13, 1969, against
"Just wanted to get it up on the glass if I got fouled," Simpson said. "Sometimes you have improvise. … Just a feel for the basket."
"He's unguardable in our league,"
Simpson scored 27 first-half points — at times seeming to be backing up and draining 3s from any distance — as the Spartans led 41-31 at the break. He made 9 of 14 shots, including 6 of 8 attempts from 3-point range.
Simpson missed his first five shots from the field in the second half before a 3-pointer shoved UNCG's lead to 58-48 with 8:15 left.
Simpson has missed two games the past four weeks with separate injuries.
"Not only has he gotten back to himself, maybe even a little bit better with these last two performances," Miller said.
Shulman said the Mocs did well to recover from seeing "all those baskets go in from 28, 30 feet" for UNCG.
It took time for the
By the end, some fans were screaming for Simpson to unleash a length-of-the-court shot after grabbing the game's last rebound. He shook his head.
Now the
Last season, beginning with 14 regular-season games remaining, the Spartans went 11-5 the rest of the way (including two games in the conference tournament).
Beginning at that point on the schedule this season, the Spartans are 3-1 so far.
"The common denominator is when a UNCG team comes together, guards together and starts believing a little more," Miller said. "Hopefully some momentum will start to recreate that again."
He wanted some time before pondering the next assignment.
"The losses hurt so much," Miller said. "We all take the losses so hard. Sometimes we don't take enough time to enjoy the wins. … (then) start thinking about those guys 20 miles down the road."

Ken and Sarah Ramsey's International Star has an ambitious name, but the promising juvenile took a step toward living up to it in Sunday's Grade 3, $138,983 Grey Stakes at Woodbine. Invading from trainer Mike Maker's Trackside Louisville base, the son of Fusaichi Pegasus rallied strongly from off a slow pace to win by 1 1/4 lengths, and earned 10 points toward the 2015 Kentucky Derby.
WinStar Farm LLC and Stonestreet Stables' Carpe Diem certainly lived up to his $1.6 million dollar price tag as he pulled away from the 12-horse field in Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Breeders' Cup Futurity for two-year-olds at Keeneland by 6 1/4 lengths.
Let's Go Stable's Daredevil accelerated to the lead entering the stretch of Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Champagne at Belmont Park and dominated to the finish line, winning handily by a 2 1/2-length margin. Now unbeaten from two starts, the Todd Pletcher-trained colt has established himself as a top contender for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita on November 1.
A sloppy, sealed track was no detriment for Jay Em Ess Stable's By The Moon on Saturday at Belmont Park as she pulled off a 2 1/4-length victory in the Grade 1, $500,000 Frizette Stakes under jockey Jose Ortiz.
Qatar Racing's Peace and War earned her shot at Breeders' Cup glory when taking Friday's opening day co-feature at Keeneland -- the Grade 1, $400,000 Alcibiades -- which is a "Win & You're In" race for the Juvenile Fillies.
Siena Farm LLC's homebred Angela Renee saved ground on the backstretch of Saturday's Grade 1, $301,750 Chandelier at Santa Anita Park, angled out rounding the turn under jockey Rafael Bejarano and held off the determined late run from 2-1 favorite Conquest Eclipse to score a 1 1/2-length victory.
Zayat Stables LLC's American Pharoah stretched out to two turns to add another dominating Grade 1 win to his short resume as he wired Saturday's Grade 1, $300,750 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita.
After her impressive gate-to-wire, 2 1/4-length victory in Saturday's Pocahontas at Churchill Downs, GSN Racing LLC's Cristina's Journey was reported by trainer Dale Romans to have exited the race in good form.
Cristina's Journey successfully stretched out to 1 1/16 miles on Saturday and led every step of the way home in Churchill Downs' Grade 2, $231,000 Pocahontas Stakes.
As the first race in the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" scoring series, and a "Win & You're In" for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Saturday's Grade 3, $115,500 Iroquois Stakes featured several promising two-year-olds at Churchill Downs. It wasn't the leading fancies, however, but the 11-1 shot Lucky Player who earned the Breeders' Cup ticket, and the 10 points toward the 2015 Kentucky Derby. Edging stablemate Bold Conquest by a neck, he topped the Steve Asmussen-trained exacta and also gave his freshman sire, two-time champion Lookin at Lucky, his first graded winner.
The $500,000 Los Alamitos Futurity (Grade I) has been added to the list of races that comprise the 2014-15 "Road to the Kentucky Derby." The series of 35 select races – 19 "Prep Season" races and 16 "Championship Series" races – will determine which horses qualify to the 141st running of the $2 million guaranteed Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I) on Saturday, May 2, 2015.
Robert S. Evans' Tonalist was making just his fifth lifetime start in Saturday's 146th edition of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes but that didn't stop the Tapit colt from running down Commissioner to post a head win in the "Test of the Champion."
Kentucky Derby and Preakness hero California Chrome will break from post 2 in Saturday's Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes, where he will aim to end the Triple Crown drought that racing fans have endured since Affirmed's conquest in 1978. The flashy chestnut has been installed as the 3-5 favorite to make history in the 1 1/2-mile classic at Belmont Park, both the oldest and longest of the jewels of the Triple Crown.
California Chrome continued to strut his stuff in Saturday's $1.5 million Preakness Stakes, posting a comfortable 1 1/2-length decision, and the phenomenal three-year-old can become only the 12th Thoroughbred to capture Triple Crown when he lines up for the Belmont Stakes in three weeks.
"He's an amazing horse," jockey Victor Espinoza said.
Steven Coburn and Perry Martin's homebred California Chrome carved his name in the history books Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs, earning himself the right to sleep in until 6 a.m. (EDT) Sunday morning in Barn 20 at Churchill Downs.
CALIFORNIA CHROME (1st) – The chestnut colt California Chrome carved his name in the history books Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs, earning himself the right to sleep in until 6 o'clock Sunday morning at his Barn 20 new Kentucky home.

When you are coding, how often do you run your unit test suite? Once a day? Once an hour? Once a minute? Could you even run the suite once a minute if you wanted to? How we came up with the idea for this project
Ashcroft is named after the current attorney general of the USA, John Ashcroft, who has a reputation for being extremely conservative. Regardless of your personal political leanings, as an agile and test-infected Java developer, we'd like you to consider the benefits of adhering to strict, almost draconian, limits on what you allow yourself and your fellow team-members to code into your unit tests.
We should clarify, right up front, that these restrictions apply only to unit tests and not system or intergration tests, which are also of great importance to the success of any project. However, your unit tests, one for each class in your codebase, should be clean, decoupled from one another and ultrafast. You should be able to run thousands of unit tests and get your green bar in a few seconds. Achieving that kind of unit testing performance takes major discipline on the part of the developer, and Ashcroft helps keep you in on the straight-and-narrow path, by failing tests which stray from best practices.
Ten Commandments of Unit Testing
there are more of these to come... we are currently soliciting feedback

Prices shown in currencies other than USA Dollars are estimates based on current exchange rates. We will charge your credit card in USA Dollars on the day your order is shipped, and the conversion to your local currency will be done at the prevailing rate by your credit card issuer.
Shipments outside the USA are declared as "bike parts" for customs purposes and will include the actual amount paid for merchandise and shipping. Jenson USA will not mark your parcel as a "gift", declare a value lower than the actual price paid, or otherwise prepare false customs information.
Choosing the correct tires for your bike is extremely important. Tires are the only part of the bicycle that make contact with the surface in which you are rolling on, whether it be pavement or a dirt trail. Therefore, you must choose a tire that best caters to the terrain you ride. Jenson USA offers tires by many different manufactures in a variety of sizes. Browse through our wide selection of tires from Continental, Kenda, Maxxis, Michelin, WTB, Schwalbe, and many more. Whether you are a serious road cyclist looking for a long lasting tire that is puncture resistant or a thrill-seeking mountain biker looking for a grippy fast rolling tire, we have you covered.
Bicycle tires serve as a vital source of suspension, balance and cornering, and generate the longitudinal forces necessary for momentum and stopping. Today bicycle tires can be categorized by three main criteria:
When choosing the correct tire, the best place to start is knowing what kind of bike you ride, and what sorts of terrain you intend to ride on. The first questions to ask yourself are: "What kind of bike do I ride?" Do I ride on pavement? Do I ride on dirt trails? Etc. Knowing what you ride, where you ride, and how you ride, is key to determining the type of tread.
Tread is the contoured surface of a tire which is essential to tire traction. Off-road tires feature knobs or bumps of assorted shapes and sizes (as seen in Fig. 1), designed to dig into soft surfaces for enhanced traction. Knobs further improve traction by being able to latch onto protrusions of firm, uneven surfaces, to prevent the tires from slipping. Tires designed for riding on pavement have little to no tread (as seen in Fig. 2). The reason for this is due to the fact that road tires are so flexible, that they deform as they touch the pavement, acquiring the shape of the surface texture, which provides sufficient traction.
Once you know the type of tread you are in need of, the next step is knowing whether or not you are seeking a tire with a bead, and if your rims require an inner tube in order to hold air. These days it's common for tires to be broken down into 3 categories: clincher, tubeless, and tubular.
Clincher tires make up the majority of all bicycle tires and serve as the standard. This is due to their simple installation process and the fact that clincher tire require minimal regular maintenance. Clincher tires consist of two hoops called "beads", usually made of steel or Kevlar cable, that are laced together by nylon. The whole assembly is then dipped in rubber, with thicker rubber applied to the tread area. A separate inner tube (much like a donut shaped rubber balloon) is placed inside the tire. Fig. 3 shows a folded up inner tube, which is how they usually come packaged when purchased. The tire is then mounted on the rim by lifting the beads over the edge of the rim. Clincher tires are found in all disciplines of cycling, from road to mountain, to cyclocross to fat bikes.
On the contrary to clincher tires, Tubeless tires do not use an inner tube, but feature continuous ribs formed integrally into the bead of the tire, so that they are forced by the air pressure to seal with flanges of the metal rim of the wheel. The valve stem is attached to the rim, allowing air to be pumped directly into the tire. Liquid tire sealant such as Stan's No Tubes Tire Sealant, are often added to prevent deflation in the occurrence of a small puncture. Many tires come UST (Universal System Tubeless) Certified, meaning they are compatible with UST rims (rims with hooked edges designed to seal with UST compatible tires). Brands such as Michelin, Hutchinson and WTB, offer UST compatible tires. In order for a rim to be attuned with a tubeless tire, it must have the ability to be sealed at the valve stem, spoke holes and tire bead seat. Tubeless tire systems are a fairly new concept, in which is mainly used in mountain biking. While road tubeless exists, it's still an uncommon concept that's trying to break out of its cage.
Tubular tires are different from both clincher and tubeless tires, by the fact that they don't have beads, but instead the two edges of the carcass are sewn together with an inner tube inside. The sewn tire is then glued to a unique rim, designed for tubular tires only. While tubular tires are used on both road and mountain bikes, they are primarily used for road racing. The absence of beads and rim walls allow tubular tire systems to be lighter than conventional clincher or tubeless set ups, making tubular systems popular among hard core road racers. Check out our Tubular offerings from names like Mavic and Schwalbe.
Figuring out your tire size can cause the same kind of headache that only complicated algebraic equations cause. As various countries began to manufacture bicycle parts, different systems of number markings were being implemented among these countries. This created situations where the same size tire could be labeled with two different numbers depending on the country, and different size tires were being marked with the same numbers. To eradicate this problem, the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) developed a universal tire sizing system to clear up the confusion. The ISO uses the width of the tire (in millimeters), and the diameter of the bead seat (B.S.D.) of the rim (in millimeters). The chart below is based on Sheldon Brown's "Tire Sizing Systems" shows the I.S.O. conversion of today's common tire sizes.


text: Defrost timer on my refrigerator went out Patricia M. • Apache Junction, AZ • June 13, 2014 My Repair & Advice I was able to discuss the issue with a friend who knows about appliance repair. He instructed me as to what part was needed. I simply went to the website, entered the model # of my refrigerator and ordered the part. When the part came in I viewed the repair video offered on the website and replaced the part. It took longer to remove the old part because of the mounting(not screws) than it did to replace with the new part. I have to add that I am a woman with little knowledge of appliance repair but with the knowledge I do have and the assistance from the video was able to replace the part in very little time. Was this review helpful to you?

On pages 108-9 of The End of Faith, Sam Harris writes,
It is a truism to say that people of faith have created almost everything of value in our world, because nearly every person who has ever swung a hammer or trimmed a sail has been a devout member of one or another religious culture. There has been simply no one else to do the job. We can also say that every human achievement prior to the twentieth century was accomplished by men and women who were perfectly ignorant of the molecular basis of life. Does this suggest that a nineteenth-century view of biology would have been worth maintaining? There is no telling what our world would now be like had some great kingdom of Reason emerged at the time of the Crusades and pacified the credulous multitudes of Europe and the Middle East. We might have had modern democracy and the Internet by the year 1600. The fact that religious faith has left its mark on every aspect of our civilization is not an argument in its favor, nor can any particular faith be exonerated simply because certain of its adherents made foundational contributions to human culture.
Actually the television series Stargate SG-1 hints at such an alternative civilization in its first season episode titled "Enigma," where the protagonists meet members of a human-offshoot society called the Tollans.
Two very interesting exchanges about the Tollans occur in this episode, one where the series' archaeologist character speculates about how the Tollans became so technologically advanced considering that their ancestors came from Earth:
HAMMOND: You evacuated ten people from an alien planet, Colonel. Doctor Frasier says they're all human and it looks like they're going to live. This was one hell of a rescue operation.
O'NEILL: Thank you, Sir
HAMMOND: There were no buildings in the area of any kind?
CARTER: No sir. We don't know how far they walked, but it looked like they were trying to make it back to the Stargate.
HAMMOND: What do we know about these devices they were wearing?
CARTER: Well, they all emit low levels of radiation indicating an operative energy source, but there's no circuitry, moving parts or chips. We've never seen anything like it.
JACKSON: I thought at first that they were from a parallel culture but it looks like they might be way ahead of us.
HAMMOND: We've determined humans on other planets originated here on Earth, right?
JACKSON: Yes.
HAMMOND: Then given our present state of technology, could they be ahead of us?
JACKSON: Yes. Umm… we'd be colonising space right now if it hadn't been for the Dark Ages. There was a period of over eight hundred years where science was heresy and anathema. Maybe they didn't have that set-back.
In a later scene, one of the Tollans, named Narim, explains to the series' physicist character, Samantha Carter, something of his society's intellectual evolution:
NARIM: You know, back on Tollan, I thought I was dying. I heard your voice and managed to open my eyes, and, uh… when I saw you… uh ...
CARTER: What?
NARIM: An old superstition. There was a time before reason and science when my ancestors believed in all manner of nonsense. Like the Sher'mau. The story goes that if a Sher'mau appears at the moment of death, she would take you to her dwelling in the stars.
CARTER: Ah! We call them angels.
NARIM: Than you still believe in them?
CARTER: Some of us do.
NARIM: Ours were reported to be quite beautiful… and, when I saw you… well… you seemed to fit the description. (She smiles)
Harris's conjecture about what a rational civilization could accomplish immediately reminded me of this episode, and its implicit criticism of religious faith. This and other anti-religion messages in SG-1, which is way underappreciated, in my opinion, suggest that science fiction has the potential to show ordinary people the nonthreatening and in fact beneficial aspects of a rational, post-faith society. I'd like to see more efforts going into creating stories like this to spread the secular-humanist message Harris has endorsed in his book.
