|Pet Therapy at All Children's
Sometimes it takes more than medicine to meet the needs of the patients who are treated at All Children's Hospital. Certified therapy dogs make rounds to provide their own kind of special care. In a hospital setting, the appearance of a dog can certainly change the atmosphere and provide a positive focus for patients, their families and staff alike. For those few minutes that the therapy dog is interacting with the patient, their mind is free of anxiety and stress related to their medical condition. This lightened mood can carry over to the rest of the day.How the Program Works
How to get involved:
For more information or to apply to participate in the program, contact Luci Weber, Director, Child Life Department at 727-767-4325.

ExpandoMetaClass - Runtime MetaClass Analysis
At runtime it is often useful to know what other methods or properties exist at the time the method is executed. To this end ExpandoMetaClass provides the following methods as of this writing:
- getMetaMethod
- hasMetaMethod
- getMetaProperty
- hasMetaProperty
Why can't you just use reflection? Well because Groovy is different, it has the methods that are "real" methods and methods that are available only at runtime. These are sometimes (but not always) represented as MetaMethods. The MetaMethods tell you what methods are available at runtime, thus your code can adapt.
This is of particular use when overriding invokeMethod, getProperty and/or setProperty for example:
Here we are using the getMetaMethod method to obtain a reference to a method that may or may not exist. If it doesn't exist the getMetaMethod method will return null and the code can adapt to this fact.

The Boone fire chief said one person was found dead after a fire broke out in Boone near Appalachian State University.
Firefighters originally said a student, who lived on the top floor of a three-story apartment building on Homespun Hills Drive, was unaccounted for after the fire.
The fire started just before 4 a.m.
Heavy flames and smoke could be seen coming from the upstairs apartment when firefighters arrived.
The downstairs apartment owner woke up, came outside and realized the apartments were on fire.
The fire chief confirmed there are four apartments inside the building.
Two of those units were heavily damaged by the fire.
Investigators from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office are on the scene. The lead investigator said they plan to be out at the scene for hours Wednesday.

Gregory G. Dell'Omo, Ph.D., has been president of Robert Morris University since 2005, and quickly developed a clear vision for RMU as a place that provides transformational experiences for students through engaged learning. The university articulated this vision in its 2007 strategic plan, which spelled out RMU's six core values: academic excellence, professional focus, engaged learning, global perspective, individuals matter, and changing lives. These values are reflected in the university's increased emphasis during Dell'Omo's presidency on internationalism in student experiences, faculty research, and academic programs. RMU's next strategic plan builds on those core values and forges stronger ties between academics and student engagement, with continued emphasis on professional outcomes.
During Dell'Omo's tenure, Robert Morris's endowment has grown from $16 million to more than $33 million. In September 2012, the university completed the first comprehensive capital campaign in its history, raising $41 million, exceeding its goal, and the university has gone on to raise a total of $45 million. The campaign was propelled by yearly increases in annual giving, giving to athletics, and growth in the number of donors who give at least $1,000 annually.
Other achievements include the creation of the Student Engagement Program and Transcript, and an increase in the number of RMU students studying abroad and international students studying at RMU. Under Dell'Omo, the university has added several degree programs and expanded its honors program. In addition, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education reaffirmed the university's accreditation and the NCAA re-accredited RMU's Division I athletics program. Other accreditations RMU has earned include AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business; the Teacher Education Accreditation Council; and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. RMU was one of the first 10 universities named a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries.
RMU also has experienced an 18-percent increase in undergraduate enrollment (and an 11-percent increase in total enrollment) while Dell'Omo has been president, with the number of students living on campus – now nearly 60 percent of undergraduate students – having more than doubled. RMU now offers 20 online degree and certificate programs, with approximately 620 students enrolled in online programs, all new since Dell'Omo took office.
Dell'Omo has overseen a transformation of RMU's 230-acre campus, part of a 20-year master plan. Highlights include the construction of new buildings for the School of Business and School of Communications and Information Systems; residence halls, dining and recreational facilities; a nursing simulation laboratory; and the Snee-Reinhardt Charitable Foundation House for Media Arts. RMU renovated and expanded its library and student health center and added a counseling center. Total university space has increased by 50 percent, from 1 million square feet to 1.5 million square feet. Plans are in place for a new School of Nursing and Health Sciences building to begin construction in 2014-15.
Dell'Omo sits on the boards of the Magee-Women's Hospital Foundation, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and the Pennsylvania Economy League of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Campus Compact. He is chair of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania and a member of the Presidents' Council of the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education. He is chairman of the Northeast Conference Presidents' Council and previously represented the Northeast Conference on the NCAA DI Board of Directors. He is a member of the NCAA's DI Presidents' Advisory Group and the Football Championship Subdivision Presidents Council.
Dell'Omo holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Montclair State University, a master's degree in industrial relations from Rutgers, and a Ph.D. in industrial relations/human resource management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned certifications at Harvard University from the Institute for Education Management and the Seminar for New Presidents. He held previous academic positions at Canisius College and Saint Joseph's University, where he was dean of the Haub School of Business and then vice president for external affairs.

Selkirk Rex cats may have an adorable exterior, but animal lovers are starting to worry about what's on the inside. According to Science 2.0, researchers are looking into the Selkirk Rex to see if the company who created the breed, Big Kitten, is responsibly producing the felines.

Those against breeding felines are still working to create more control over specialty pet reproduction and trying to remind pet owners of all the needy adoptable rescue pets in the world.
Man-Made, Curly-Haired Selkirk Rex Cats Called 'Adorable Abominations'spotlight on...

Actually, this whole thing is a piece of crap. I met Jeri Newman (the originator of the breed) and have bred Selkirks for many years. Anyone who believes this piece of crap would be willing to buy the bridge I have for sale. Lies, Lies and More Lies. Not a bit of it is true!January 19 2013 at 3:48 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I have never read so much rubbish in my life and knowing Serina (Pictured) she is a respected Austrian Vet who has undertaken a lot of research into the breed. Who this 'Big Kitten' is I have no idea and that's someone (Me!) who's been in the breed for 7 years now. The curly coat gene is no different from a human having curly hair, its a naturally occurring gene. In fact, the breed is still outcrossed to Persian's and British Shorthair so this would make the breed stronger rather than weaker. Its a shame journalists have to rely on sensationalism to make people read their poorly thought through diatribes.January 13 2013 at 2:34 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
25 years later all they can say is they dont know about the health of the cat breed. FFS!!! The typical lifespan of a feline means several generations have passed since inception. Did any of them turn green and melt in front of their owners? Any of them yak up a living furball then croak? Any of them die mysteriously? Has more than one of them suffered any genetic maladies that can be traced back to the 'forcing' of two different varieties of cat to mate? They been doing that, as have differing dog breeds since before they grew legs, walked out of the ocean and started boinking each other on dry land..November 07 2012 at 7:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Oh I think he/she is pretty cute! Reminds me of my younger days when I had lots and lots of wavy hair. I scared my Dad one morning when I couldn't sleep and got up early to put the coffee on.

HAW RIVER — Ernest Moore said if he could tell state legislators one thing, it'd be simple.
"I'd tell them they've got better things to do than stop people from having a good time," he said.
His investment in gaming isn't big,
"It's very, very entertaining and fun, too," he said. "It's like fishing — it gives me the chance to get out of the house and socialize."
If the state has its way,
This past week, the likelihood of the sweepstakes parlors being closed increased dramatically after the state's highest court refused a request from industry officials to delay closings while they appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The refusal could close within weeks hundreds of businesses across
Industry officials said they don't expect the ruling to be enforced for at least two weeks, until it becomes final.
STATE OFFICIALS and others claim sweepstakes gambling is a problem that inordinately affects those who can afford it the least — families on the lower end of the socio-economic scale. They say it leads to domestic problems and serves no productive societal purpose.
Backers of Internet gaming counter that it's no worse or more addictive than the state-run N.C. Education Lottery.
For the moment, what becomes of Internet sweepstakes parlors is unclear. Will it be police raids similar to those once staged at illicit video-poker sites?
Who knows? Law enforcement officers contacted seemed as perplexed as anyone as to the fate of Internet gaming cafes. Alamance County District Attorney Pat Nadolski predicted further legal wranglings.
Don Bullis, the owner of Village Marketplace Sweepstakes, said he doesn't know how it will play out.
"If we're stopped, there's going to be a lot of people out of work," he said.
Bullis bought Village Marketplace Sweepstakes in June. The business had been home to an Internet café prior to his purchase and Bullis admitted the property "left a lot to be desired." He straightened the place up considerably.
Bullis paid to have the building gutted and rebuilt — repainting everything and installing new carpet, ceiling fans and expensive light fixtures. Bullis said he's got almost $350,000 invested in the property that he's expanded from 2,200 square feet to about 4,200 square feet.
"I cleaned it up and business started to increase," Bullis said. "It grew so quickly, it swept me off my feet."
Customers at Village Marketplace Sweepstakes are fiercely loyal — both to the business and one another. They come across more as family members than clientele that merely frequent a shared business. When they walk in the door, they're greeted — both by fellow customers and employees.
Remember "Cheers" where everybody knows your name? It's that kind of feel.
The sweepstakes shop looks nice — nothing about it coming across as a shady establishment. Anyone who steps inside is welcome to free soft drinks and coffee. The sale of alcohol is banned from Internet cafes and Bullis said he wouldn't offer it even if legal.
The majority of Village Marketplace Sweepstakes is open to smokers, but there's a game room where smoking is prohibited. Walls are decorated with portraits of
"I've never had to call the police, never had a fight," Bullis said. "I've never had shouting, never had a confrontation between a male and a female. I challenge the government to compare my business to establishments that serve alcohol."
Of his customers, Bullis said: "They come for relaxation … whatever."
BULLIS, 69, who has a background in the service industry, said he got involved in Internet sweepstakes after suffering a serious fall and injury in December 2010. He had trouble walking and said during recuperation his doctor advised him it'd do him good to get out of his house more often. Bullis began visiting a sweepstakes café in
"I thought, 'Hey, I could do this,'" he said of owning such a business.
Bullis said he realized the move was a gamble in itself. The state put the clamps on Internet gaming in 2010 — legislators passing a law against such businesses. Backers of the games countered with the legal case the N.C. Supreme Court settled last week.
"I knew there was a risk," Bullis said. "I never dreamed it'd materialize."
He doesn't like to read articles that refer to the sweepstakes business as "gambling." Bullis said his customers merely purchase Internet time, then do with it what they wish. Most, he admitted, play games where they can win cash — as much as hundreds or (on extremely rare occasions) thousands of dollars.
Winnings, say proponents of Internet cafes, are predetermined.
Bullis said he's mystified by the backlash against businesses such as his.
Bullis said he's always been well-received by officials with the town of
IN AUGUST, members of the Graham City Council imposed much stricter guidelines on new Internet sweepstakes businesses looking to move to town — including restrictions on how closely they can open to everything from schools to parks.
In May, Burlington City Council members upped the fee they charge for gaming machines to $2,500 for the first terminal at a café and $1,000 for each additional one. Previously, business owners were charged $25 for every four terminals.
"I think singling out an industry like this is just not right," Jerry Stewart, the owner of Interstate Sweepstakes on
Bullis said he feels the same. He noted his business has done much for the community. A donation box at the register with proceeds earmarked for Christmas Cheer of Alamance County is filled with dollar bills. Bullis tossed in a check for $1,000 from the business.
He looks out for his 10 employees. When Bullis decided to have a Christmas meal for them, he did two — one at lunch and another at dinner to make sure everyone involved in keeping the business open 24 hours a day could attend.
On the other side of
"We're trying to put a positive spin on it," Hall said of the gaming industry. "We do a lot of good."
He said police have been called to his establishment only once since he opened in June 2011. That occurrence, Hall said, was for help when there was a bump-up of cars in the parking lot.
"There are bigger fish to fry," Hall said of the courts looking to close down gaming industries like his.
He said his customers come to the business as much for the chance to talk to others as try and win Internet games.
"These are people who'd be sitting at home watching a movie if they weren't here," Hall said. "It's a form of socialization."
BACK AT Village Marketplace Sweepstakes, Trent Chrisp, one of the employees, said he's got something to tell the courts and legislators if they close his place of employment.
"I won't be able to pay my bills," he said.
Meanwhile, Bullis wondered aloud if the money he's paid in taxes will be refunded if he's closed. He said he paid $13,500 in taxes for new machines just last week.
Bullis said he worried his speaking out about the merits of the gaming industry and questioning those seeking to shut him down might make him a target if those closures come to fruition. He said if he's ordered to close, he'll close, and said the last thing he wants are police officers showing up at his door to force the issue.
"I hope owners like me will get the courtesy of a call," Bullis said. "If I get a call telling me to close, I'm going to the circuit breaker and shutting off the power. It is what it is."

The Springbok Sevens were beaten 19-17 by England in the Plate semi-finals on day two of the London Sevens.
The Blitzboks led 17-15 against England as the final hooter sounded, and looked like advancing to the Plate title-decider. However, a poor defensive effort at the death saw Bishops old boy Mat Turner run away for the match-winning score – a move that was created from behind their own tryline.
It was closely-contested match as South Africa led 10-5 at half-time. A Cornal Hendricks brace kept Blitzboks ahead as England crossed the chalk via Tom Powell.
Sam Edgerly gave the hosts the lead as he dived over under the posts. A clever chip from Philip Burger set up Kyle Brown out wide, which seemed like the defining try before Turner's late effort sealed an unlikely win.
Earlier in the day, the Springbok Sevens suffered a 36-0 defeat against New Zealand.
The Kiwis eased to the convincing victory as they ran in six tries. Ardie Savea grabbed a brace in the first half, while skipper DJ Forbes completed his double in the second stanza. The Blitboks struggled on attack, while they were also weak on defence as they couldn't build any all-round momentum.
Meanwhile, New Zealand were crowned the 2011-12 World Series champions with their run into the Cup semi-finals in London. Although they were eliminated by Fiji after a 31-7 defeat, they still accumulated enough log points to secure top place in the overall standings.
Blitzboks' fixtures (day two):
Cup quarter-final – South Africa 0 New Zealand 36
Plate semi-final – South Africa 17 England 19

I played 5 matches after downloading the demo, 3 as Warrior and 2 as Rey...and I won all 5 matches, so no it has nothing to do with the outcome....I just don't like the gameplay, it's a ridiculous game with horrible looking character models, and shoddy controls.
No need to generalize people, just because we don't like a game that isn't Smackdown.

I get that not everyone will like the game. That's cool it's your opinion. Play whatever it is you play.
Just don't tell the world the game sucks because you don't like the character models and only learned half the moves/combos.
To be fair. If the reversal system was like this in year's past for SD. We would praise it.
Playing this on the highest difficulty warrior and rey does different movesets constantly. Now trying to figure out which one is which LOL.
While I like the combos that you can do from one move to another. And this being a fighting game I can let a few things slide like you can't choose certain manuevers because it'll definitely break the balance of the game.
OH! WHICH PROVES MY DAMN POINT! SVR is not a balanced game to be made competitive! Now allow me to quote CMpunk. I told you soooooooo.
Also, a couple of glitches I found that I was able to replicate. Hopefully this is fixed in the final version, but then again I doubt it. If you hit the opponent while they're in midair just right before they leap off the turnbuckle. The camera glitches out and you can only see the action from a very obscure angle.
a lot of the strike based combos can be blocked during mid combos. So not sure if there's a hit stun in this game where you can successfully continue all of them without the opponent being able to block.
But here's what I like. All the grapples are based on the button layout. And with each button you can pull off something different for the grapples.
quick grapple -> Quick strike/quickgrapple/strong strike/strong grapple.
So far in this demo you can perform 4 moves from those 4 button layouts and no matter what direction I pushed they seem to do the same move.. Now like I said before. If SVR had this button layout the grapple branching system would be insanely huge. THIS is what it should be for the simulation game.
Quick grapples -> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + quick grapple = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + quick strike = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + strong grapple = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + strong strike = 5 different grapples/strikes
20 different quick grapples variations. And some moves can be combo after one another just like in all stars...possibilities are there.
Strong grapples -> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + quick grapple = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + quick strike = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + strong grapple = 5 different grapples/strikes
-> Up/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/neutral + strong strike = 5 different grapples/strikes
20 More different strong grapple variations.
40 different strong grapples total with added branching if there's a combo allowed for them. And that's just the goddamn front. Add the different grapple situation like a rear waist lock position, a headlock position. Add in button combination like pressing two buttons at the same time. Man...Allstars is how SVR is built. Not through an analog control. Analog control is way too limited.
No, I'm glad it DOESN'T have SD name. Here's to all the trolls that will praise this piece of garbage of a game. You cant fight on the ramp,no ladder match, no full entrance(who did Warrior blow to get his?), Street Fighter mentallity. Screw this I'd rather play ECW: Anarchy Rules on the X Box and that was a terrible game. At least TNA Impact had an X Division match on it's debut. This game has been in development for TWO years and they only have 4 match types and NO FRICKIN LADDER MATCH!! I'll put my hard-earned cash elsewhere.
" It doesn't mean you should,just because you can."
"That is a fact of life."
King Crimson
Seiryuga: If i`m not mistaken you forgot that you can use the right stick to swap to side headlock(strong grapple) and rear waist lock(quick grapple) while in lock up. There`s 4 extra spots for each, but both Rey and Warrior seems to have at least 1 move twice in that section.
Edit: I really like the gameplay, which make the CAW restrictions worse.
But as always i`ll work around that issue to make the most of what`s on offer.
The SvR team should definately take note of the regular moves in this game, even if it`s a boring move(aka Warriors moveset) they are well done with flow and impact.

The game has only been in development for about a year...not two
It has taken the SD series how many years to get all these extra things that people seem to think is necessary for a game to succeed? Most of the gimmick match types in the SD series have been half-assed pieces of garbage that you play a couple times and then never touch again forever. I still for the life of me can't understand why people still don't get that this is not a purely "sim" wrestling game. "What is this?...combos?...well this is garbage." They have said god knows how many times that this was built as a fighting game first with parts of what a "sim" wrestling game is added to mix things up and provide more depth. If you go into this game wanting to play it like a pure wrestling game then of course you are going to hate it because that is not how this game was built. I would much rather have a set core of match types that are actually done right, balanced, and fun to play than 50 glitched and buggy gimmick matches that are tacked on because they think they have to add it to appease people.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is fine but I hate when people try to preach to others why they should or shouldn't like anything. People can make up their own minds and liking this game doesn't make someone a "troll" and not liking it doesn't make them a "hater". This isn't a game where there is a lot of grey area. You are either going to like it or hate it.
I usually just keep my mouth shut and never post my opinions so let the bashing commence...

Ignoring the ignorant comments of some people *COUGH SPIDER COUGH*, I am quite dissappointed in this demo/game. It plays like TNA impact, but has far less to offer. I am in agreement with Viper. This has horrible controls and in my opinion, alot of limits. CAS being limited to choosing a superstars moveset and only being able to change the finisher? Not acceptable. Granted the reversals are great, the flow is nice, but other than that, it's just some button mashing arcade game. I'll stick with Fire Pro Returns.

How does this have far less to offer than Impact??,From the demo alone I have found double the moves than in that game and the CAW slots for that was 7 and this one has 10(from what I read somewhere),Plus the roster for Impact was 25 and two DLC characters while this one has 30 with about 10 DLC characters announced with more to come!
Each character has at least one alt.attire with most having three,Impact's only other main mode was storymode and this has two modes,Online had only 1 vs 1 while this has single/tag/handicap/3&4-ways!
Not much beyond Impact,But definitely not way-less!

I hadn't heard about the limited CAW movesets beforehand because honestly there's a certain level of things that I expected for a game like this. A million and one match types is NOT something I expected to see. I figured the match type list would be relatively small, though a lack of a ladder match does seem a bit off. Definitely not enough to shrug me off. I didn't even expect this game to HAVE a CAS mode, so that's an even bigger shocker to me.
Shame there are peeps instantly dismissing this. Gotta say I wasn't really digging the overall idea when I first heard of it, but I've really never laughed that hard while getting my ass kicked in a game. I lost the first three matches I played and loved every minute of my whoopin XD. It's just so insanely over-the-top that's it's really hard to resist. I think too many people went into this with the Smackdown series in the back of their mind and expected way too much

Fair enough!,I understand why you may have that opinion and I was simply saying how you said that it was less limited than Impact and that's just not true But I agree it's still limited!
The online may be different than SvR though!,SvR2011 started perfectly until people started doing tons of paint tool logos and the lag&server problems mostly happens in the 5&6 person matches,This is a different team and so perhaps the online will be done differently too!?

Would be nice if I could actually download the Demo... Instead I get this "Exclusive to X-Box Live" bullshit. Fuck off.
Sig & Avatar Credit: Imp
That's why I had the rear waist lock as a back grapple instead.
But holy god, the potential that control map out can do in SVR would do wonders.
The CAW restrictions would make sense in this game. Because that would break the balance of the gameplay. Which will probably be broken anyways as soon as people find glitches or moves with insane amt of priorities.
notice how the casual fan starts spouting about match types and lack of match types?
Ahhh...I love it when games like this filters out people LOL.
I do agree that the controls do feel a bit stiff. But then again I took my time to learn things from Firepro here. So this doesn't seem so bad. And I think the controls are on par with No mercy's if not better.
In terms of depth, I don't think this will go on par with something on the mainstream fighting games.
Also found an air combo LOL.
Forward + Strong Strike (launched) -> Qs, Qs, Strong strike, strong strike. Opponent should be punched high enough to get launched further out of the ring.
Last edited by Seiryuga; March 27, 2011 at 01:57 AM.
Yeah he did that to me in a match, punched Rey straight out of the ring.
Holy shit, just finished playing the demo and it was the most difficult time I ever had playing a wwe game. Its going to take me a while to get used the controller but this is game is very fun to play and plays a lot smoother than the svr series.
yeah...I thought the same when I first played the demo cuz Rey kicked my ass all over the ring. Once you get the combos and reversals down it is a lot easier and more fun
also from a live stream I was watching the online seems to be smooth and not laggy (Least for 1 vs 1 matches..thats all I saw)

New Project Car
The car show has taken on another Project car. This time the owner of the car is paying the cost of parts for the restoration and all of us, Ken, David and I will try to make it work.
Here is the back story on the car, because after all no restoration is complete without a story.
When I was growing up I had a couple of Uncles that were a great help to me. One, my uncle Paul was one of those great guys that never drew attention to himself. He was active in his Church from a young age, married his high school sweetheart, joined the Air Force, graduated from The University of Texas with an Engineering degree on the G.I Bill and went to work. He and my aunt had two great kids one is a talented musician living in Nashville and the other is a graduate of the Air Force Academy. Paul (my uncle) took a job at Red River Army Depot as a Structural Engineer in 1979 and worked his way up, over a thirty year period to Deputy Commander of Red River Army Depot, a re-fitment base outside of Texarkana for war-time machines like Bradley's and Hummers. He went on to receive the AUSA Citation for Exceptional Service. The award is presented to those who show exemplary service to the Army and the community. It was the first time that the award had been given posthumously.
A little over a year ago he went to visit his son and daughter in-law stationed in Guam to see his granddaughter for the first time. I'm sure it was one of his happiest days on the planet. He passed away on that trip, too early, a victim of an (ironically enough) enlarged heart. Because award winner or not Paul Addington was the kind of man we need more of. A happy man, who loved people and country and was generous with his time, knowledge and humor.
His son is currently a Captain in the Air Force serving in Iraq. He is the husband of a beautiful girl and the father of a very happy and just as beautiful daughter. Matt's just one of those good guys, like his dad.
It would take too long to tell you how much my uncle meant to me in my younger years. He always seemed to be there to share good advice and be a good example. He also was a riot sometimes. I'm trying to pay him back for the many kind things he did for me.
Paul bought a Triumph TR6 (shown in the gallery) new in Georgia in 1974. I remember driving with him on trips from Austin to New Boston. I also remember working on that Triumph. Honestly my uncle was the one who gave me the car bug.
Paul's son wanted to re-do the car…only faster (chip off the old block). So, we decided since we could make the straight six only achieve about 140-150HP we would just throw in a small block! Isn't that the red-neck way. It was good enough for Carroll Shelby. It should work for us.
Ken and I have been working on the car for about two months. I will continue to add to the gallery as the build progresses and I'm sure it will be discussed on the show now and then.
You know what I love about cars? The relationships they make. With my involvement in the show I've added some great friends in David and Ken and could not do this without their help. Also, thanks to Ken's friend (can't say his name) for letting us use his shop.
We hope to make this TR-6 fast and mean. Follow along with us and enjoy the ride.
Thanks to all of you who continue to put up with whatever it is that David Ken and I throw out there each week on The Car Show. Without you there is no show and no build.
Ok, here's the deal with the projected build:
It's a garage kept 30 year-old British made Triumph TR-6. It came from the factory with a straight-six pushing out about 94HP and a couple of hundred foot-pounds of torque. Not bad when you consider it weighs in around 2400lbs. The brakes are front disc and rear drum. The frame is surprisingly strong.
So, being the thick necked brood that we are we decided to drop in a G.M. crate motor and Tremec five-speed transmission with a hydraulic clutch. The motor will put out just about three-hundred horse power and about the same torque (three times the power of the stocker).
The brakes will probably be Wilwood disc on all four corners. We will add a Hotchkis suspension and tires and wheels, but the owner wants to keep a stock look. We will replace the wiring harness and gauge set. Much more is planned but you can just follow along in pictures. You guys like pictures, right?

Her article on Symphonie Fantastique, in which she reveals an explicit connection between a short story by Charles Nodier and the program for Berlioz's first symphony, was published in the Summer 2010 issue of 19th-century Music. Her current research examines the ways contemporary American economic theory and policy influence the aesthetic choices of young composers in the U.S.
Jennifer M. Smith holds a Ph.D. in music theory from Florida State University, an M.M. from Bowling Green State University, and a B.A. from Anderson University. She previously served as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music Theory at the University of Florida and as a graduate teaching assistant at Florida State University and Bowling Green State University.

Comment: My left glove tore within 5 months of purchasing them. Due to the firm fitting, I had to pull on the wrist part of the glove to pull the glove on. Eventually it started to tear.
Wayne Nakamoto
Comment: Not worth your money. glove tore withing 5 months of get it.
The Scorpion SGS gloves are constructed using the same high grade materials,
using the same attention to detail, as the
SG3 racing gloves, but without the gauntlet, making these a great choice for
aggressive street riding. If you are looking for a premium race glove with a
full gauntlet, don't forget to check out the Scorpion SG3's on our website.
These gloves come in five colorways including this neon pair. You also have the
choice of white, red, blue, or black. The fit is a pretty standard American cut
and their available in sizes small thru triple xl. I typically wear between a
medium and a large depending on the brand. These SGS's are larges, and while I
like the feel in the fingers, the palms have just a little too much extra
material. I would go down to a medium pair, knowing that this soft leather is
going to break in some.
These SGS gloves are equipped with a top grain leather chassis and a kangaroo
leather palm with a Kevlar patch on the inside. The palm also features the Knox
SPS sliders. SPS stands for Scaphoid Protection System. The scaphoid is a bone
in the hand that is commonly injured when a rider's gloves stick to the asphalt
on contact. These little sliders help the gloves to glide across the asphalt,
which also helps to keep you from tumbling. While we're looking at the palm, you
can also see the reinforced areas with Kevlar stitching, and the externally
stitched finger assembly that makes the gloves really comfortable.
If you flip the SGS gloves over, you can see the articulated panel that promotes
flexibility and ventilation, and also houses the TPU knuckle protection.
Protection for the fingers comes in the way of these Superfabric covered pads.
In addition to the flex area in the knuckles, ventilation also comes from light
perforation in the fingers.

Applied Geology-Ph.D.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|Department of Geology
221 McGilvrey Hall
Tel: 330-672-2680
E-mail: email@example.com
Web: http://www.kent.edu/cas/geology
|The Ph.D. in Applied Geology prepares students for careers in industry and academic institutions where research into the application of geological principles focuses on solution to basic and applied research questions. Focus areas include study of modern environments and society's interactions with that environment and research into paleo-environments, paleoecology, biological evolution and tectonics.
|Official transcript(s), 3.0 GPA, GRE, goal statement and three letters of recommendation.
|The courses taken by doctoral students are determined jointly with members of the graduate faculty of the department but in all cases must fulfill certain basic requirements. All students must maintain a 3.0 or greater GPA. Coursework shall be arranged so that it embraces one major area of concentration in applied geology and a minor area related to another aspect of geology
|To be admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree, a student must first fulfill the additional breadth requirement and must pass comprehensive written and oral examinations. Both of these requirements must be met prior to the start of the fifth semester after admission to the doctoral program. The comprehensive examinations focus on mastery of the student's major area of concentration and one minor area, as well as the fundamentals of geology and its allied sciences as appropriate to the student's proposed dissertation topic. Students who fail the comprehensive examinations may be allowed to repeat them once; this must be completed more than one month after the initial examination, but less than six months thereafter.
|All students working toward the doctoral degree must demonstrate either proficiency in a modern language other than their native language, or alternatively, knowledge sufficiently advanced to propose research in a field ancillary to the student's major. To satisfy this requirement the student must either pass an appropriate foreign language test or prepare and defend orally a written research proposal in an ancillary field of study.
|All students admitted to the doctoral program must complete two successive semesters of full-time graduate study at Kent State University. During this time they must obtain a minimum of 22 semester credits.

Wind Power
Wind Power
Wind turbines use two or three long blades to collect the energy in the blowing wind and convert it to electricity. The energy of motion contained in the wind is converted into electricity as the spinning turbine blades turn a generator. To create enough power for a city, several turbine towers need to be placed together in groups to create a "wind farm."
Wind power is environmentally friendly for numerous reasons. Emissions are negligible because no fuels are combusted, nor do turbines produce any substantial amount of solid waste while creating electricity. There have been some environmental concerns with bird deaths, noise issues and improperly installed towers that can cause soil erosion, but research and advancements are being made to reduce these impacts. Land around wind turbines can be used for positive purposes, such as the grazing of cattle or farming. (Source: EPA / Photo: Flickr)

Scouting Report: Every season is seems there is a guy who gets a ton of attention for his ability to be a versitile playmaker. Last year was Percy Harvin and this year, it could definitely be Golden Tate. he's a little on the small side, but he's much stronger than he looks, and as a converted running back knows how to get tough yards and is deadly in the open field. I'm not sure how Tate will run in shorts, but his acceleration on the field is remarkable, and his game speed is exceptional. Tate isn't a great route runner, and is still learning the position in that aspect, but he has soft hands, excellent vision and works hard for the football. He's also able to beat you a number of ways which is what will lure NFL teams to him. He can line up as a running back or wide out, and is also a great kick returner.
Draft Status: I am really high on Tate's NFL potential, and I think if he declares, and teams get to see all the things he can do for a team, they will be as well. I think Dez Bryant is the best pure wide out in the draft, and CJ Spiller seems to be the league favorite in terms of the Swiss Army knife type of guy, but Tate is still almost certainly a first round pick, especially if his triangle numbers can match his football numbers. I can see him landing firmly in the middle of the first round to a team desperate for fireworks on offense and special teams.
Final Analysis: Sign me up for Tate. Yes, he runs some sloppy routes at times, and yes he doesn't run block or blitz pickup as well as I'd like, but he's a wide out with a running back mentality and speed and quickness to burn. Tate and Clausen are the chicken and the egg, because there are times when Clausen makes Tate look good, but others where the plays that Tate makes, really make Clausen look good as well. If a team can bring him in, and move him around and give him touches, especially in space, he could be a yardage and touchdown machine. Tate is a very intelligent young man, with a high football IQ, which shows me, he's willing to do what it takes to get better. He's done great on just athletic ability in college but will need to do more to improve technique at the next level.
Reminds me of: Steve Smith, WR Carolina Panthers. High praise I know, but I can definitely see that type of explosive potential in Tate. Smith runs like a running back, and while he's a much more polished route runner and blocker, those are both things he has worked hard on in the NFL.

The City of Grand Prairie reports one new human case of West Nile virus. This is the 18th human case this season in Grand Prairie.
The city's Environmental Services staff will ground spray the following area for two consecutive nights on Sunday, Oct. 14, and Monday, Oct. 15, from 9 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.
The area is bound by Tarrant Road on the north, Cook Dr. on the east, Hinton St. on the south, and NW 7th on the west.
View Maps: PDF aerial view | Google map
Residents in these areas are advised to stay indoors, keep pets inside, and cover fish ponds during those times. Spraying will be rescheduled if wind speeds are above 10 mph or in the event of rain.
All Grand Prairie residents are asked to help eliminate the areas that mosquitoes need to breed by emptying, removing or covering any receptacle that can hold water. To prevent mosquito bites, residents are advised to use an insect repellent containing at least 30 percent DEET (lower concentration for children) and stay indoors at dawn and dusk. The City of Grand Prairie conducts regular tests on mosquito samples throughout the city as part of its West Nile Virus surveillance program.

The PR shots are all smiley faces but in reality what you'll see are slack jawed, empty expressions.
Now, the context behind what inspired this post was Oculus Rift, but really I'm looking forward in time to our being lead towards the option of having computer chips absorbed into our bodies.
Incidentally, everybody's best friend Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook quietly acquired Oculus Rift in March 2014.
– Facebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly instigated the deal. "Strategically we want to start building the next major computing platform that will come after mobile," he said on a conference call on Tuesday night. Zuckerberg sees the acquisition as part of Facebook's mission to build the so-called knowledge economy. "There are not many things that are candidates to be the next major computing platform," he said. "[This acquisition is a] long-term bet on the future of computing."
Not content with selling your personal information to pharmaceutical companies that trade Viagra, your photos to marketing firms which advertise dating websites (Yeah the above picture isn't a pop-up ad here on this blog, it's just an example of the kind of thing the photos you upload to Facebook end up being used for) and your net activity to God knows who else, your brain pattern signature and thought patterns will eventually be on the open market too it seems.
This is something I've been considering for a while now.
Because if you keep in mind the Transhumanist instruction for individuals to merge their existing biological computer with the artificial, then the next abomination to emerge from that state of mind is for those people to look at apes and think "The ape is limited. Ugly. We must assist it by plugging it into AI too."
Bastardising the Orangutang. Then the dog. Then the fruit bat… I assume.
And where does all that end?
It might not surprise you to know that there are millions who can't wait for this kind of thing.
… but I'm positive that those people haven't considered these concepts to any great degree at all. I asked where all that ends, but it's an ultimate end to most lifeforms on planet Earth in fact.
A totally mad concept that we're being primed to rush towards.

CANCELED - Creative Shooting Techniques
This program has been canceled.
Learn new shooting techniques on Wednesday, September 18. Two sessions available: 2:00 pm or 7:00 pm.
This presentation is intended for owners of DSLR cameras because those photographers can change lens, as well as control the camera's shutter speed and aperture. Some of the specific techniques would be: panning, long exposures, abstracts via camera movement, extended depth-of-field, limited depth of field, and using a wide angle lens effectively.
Instructor: Dennis Baker, Freelance Photographer and President of the West Shore Photography Club

Intense, unpredictable and unique in the world of surfing, Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy (www.surfingchampionstrophy.com) pitches six ex-world champions in a US$25,000 showdown on boards that range from retro single-fins to contemporary triple-fin thrusters. As powerhouse Australian Mark 'Occy' Occhilupo prepares to defend his clean-sweep in last year's inaugural competition, ex-champions around the world are already queuing up to take him down.
"I'm not surprised about the buzz surrounding this year's competition," Occy admits. "There's nowhere else that pits surfing icons against each other on the boards that shaped the sport. Plus it should be compulsory to make competition surfing five-star!"
The contest is hosted aboard the luxury Four Seasons Explorer – the Maldives' ultimate surf vessel. And with all competitors, judges and spectators staying on Four Seasons Resort Kuda Huraa's 96-bungalow private island resort, the camaraderie on the water spills onto the beach each night around cocktails and campfires, dinner and dancing.
"It's an intimacy that you don't usually experience – as a competitor or a spectator," explains Event Coordinator and General Manager Mark Winson of Tropicsurf, the luxury surf pioneers behind the event. "It's one of the things everyone is most looking forward to this year."
Guests booking Kuda Huraa's all-inclusive four- or seven-night Champions Trophy package – available from August 27 to September 2 only – can get right on top of the action with competition day passes aboard the luxury surf vessel Four Seasons Explorer, and three half-day surfing passes with Tropicsurf. Back on land, they'll also get to rub shoulders with their surfing heroes during the nightly Sundowners at Sunset Beach while relaxing in one of the Maldives' top resorts – voted "The Best of the Best" in the Condé Nast Traveller (UK) annual Readers Travel Awards 2011. The package also includes a 60-minute Surfer's massage and round-trip airport transfers by speedboat.
So what else is the event offering this year? "Six ex-world champions, thrilling competition surfing on perfect reef-break waves and, new for 2012, a local division showcasing some of the Maldives' most up and coming surfers on their home breaks," says Winson. Bring it on!
For more details, please visit the official Champions Trophy website at www.surfingchampionstrophy.com.
To book the Champions Trophy Package, please contact your travel consultant, visit www.fourseasons.com/maldiveskh or call the central reservations department of Four Seasons Resorts Maldives at tel: (960) 66 00 888 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

The New Zeitgeist 2 Movie just released
It's a Beautiful thing
Zeitgeist 2 Addendum
Those who make you believe absurdities…Can make you commit atrocities
I just noticed it had been released, and watched it last night.
I think its presentation of the monetarist black-hole we have in place now is something I wish people would wake up and realize. I also fear that we're so far down that road of somnambulence that the chances of throwing off that yoke are very nearly impossible, given how well-designed our prison is.
I am left with the feeling that I'll be dead long before revolution will be possible (the army has all the flamethrowers), but I'm definitely packing my bug-out kit.
"My ambition is to live to see all of Physics reduced to a formula so elegant and simple that it will fit easily on the front of a t-shirt."
