Chris -- 2011-03-08
I've just spotted this at http://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=25857 – it's a first for me. I wonder what imagined etymology the speaker/writer carries in its mind for that.
This one looks pretty widespread. There's obviously some part of the US that pronounces asphalt with an inital "ash" sound… I don't usually hear it said that way.
But as far as imagery goes, there could be an assumption that burning something is a precursor to making asphalt. Or someone who's seen the Hawaiian volcanos or other basaltic lava producers might assume that asphalt is related to that hot black flowing stuff that comes from volcanoes, which might explain the "ash" root?
Oops—didn't search first. Looks like this one was discussed at length in 2006:
From a LinkedIn discussion on a closed forum, so I can't provide a working link.
"I can send you a picture… I even did a KEWIE on a ash-fault street, lasted two weeks and many cars running over it !!"
The 2006 discussion seems to be about ashphalt. I think ash-fault goes a step further in terms of the mental imagery. How about the La Brea tar pits—black, sticky stuff oozing from a fault in the earth, and it's hot, too, like ashes.
Hi, dmargulis, welcome to the forum.
"Ashfault" is an interesting addition to the history of the much-maligned "asphalt." The semantics of "fault" don't seem that implicated (to my sense of meaning, at least), but the invocation of a sense-word for the second half of the term has eggcornical overtones. I note that "asfault" is also common.

Hundreds gathered and participated in Thursday's change of command ceremony at Stone Bay for the Marine Special Operations Support Group.
"He made a difference and everyone whose been a part of this command knows that difference," said Maj. Gen. Mark A. Clark, the Marine Special Operations Command commanding officer about outgoing officer, Col. Jeffrey W. Fultz. "(Fultz) looked at the bench and it was bare ... He used his vision to fill that bench."
Under cloud cover and light rain, Marines and sailors within the MARSOC community took place in a change of command ceremony where Fultz was relieved by Col. Archibald M. McLellan. The ceremony represents the accomplishments MARSOC has had around the world, said Clark.
"The team that (Fultz) built if it could be described is a great team with a great mission," said Clark.
Leaving is a bittersweet feeling said Fultz during his speech to onlookers and Marines.
"This is the last time I'll stand in front of a formation of Marines," said Fultz who is heading to the 1st Marine Division at
Fultz is going to miss the Marines within his command the most, he said.
"These guys — we have 85 military occupational specialties in our unit," Fultz said. "It's the most diverse command I've ever been part of. They do a lot without a lot of people."
When he took command two years ago the unit was structured much differently, Fultz said.
"Over the past two years we've built tremendous growth and capabilities into the unit," Fultz said. "Truly that's my biggest accomplishment."
The incoming commanding officer, McLellan is most ecstatic about the vast array of opportunities available to the unit, he said.
"As we look to off ramp from Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and regionally align with a focus for Africa, the Pacific and CentCom I'm excited," McLellan said. "With that comes challenges of learning new cultures and languages. The biggest thing is that the skills these Marines have will be tested in places they haven't been."
MARSOC will go back to its roots, said McLellan.
"The best part of MARSOC is it's made up of Marines," McLellan said. "We stick to the Marine Air Ground Task Force mindset and the fact that everyone is a rifleman focused on expeditionary littoral operations."

|Introduction | Panasonic Lumix DMC G5 sensor performance | Panasonic Lumix DMC G5 versus competition | Conclusion
Each new generation of camera aims to be better than the last, at least in the rapidly evolving technology world. For its part, Panasonic newest generation of its esteemed mirrorless Lumix G-line bested its predecessor, the G3, by a praise-worthy five points. It also topped another popular Panasonic hybrid, the Lumix DMC GX1, by six points.
The G5 performed particularly well against its family members in dynamic range, proving it to be the best of the bunch for landscape and architecture photographers. Its documented score of 11.6 Evs make it a full stop better in dynamic range than both the GX1 and G3. This means the G5, at least compared to the GX1 and G3, can capture more details in an even wider swath of contrasting shadows and highlights.
However, the G5 delivered a lackluster low light performance. Its score lagged behind the already poor low light performance of the G3, contradicting Panasonic's claims that the G5's digital' Live MOS sensor would improve upon its older brethren. All three cameras struggled to produce good image quality at about 700 ISO, making them subpar tools for sports and entertainment photographers.
The G5 made gains on most Panasonic Lumix cameras. But how did it fair against rivals with similar hybrid technology? The short answer is not well, especially when going head-to-head against Sony's NEX-F3 and its DxOMark score of 73 or Olympus' OM-D E-M5 and its rating of 71. Both swept Panasonic's latest Lumix G camera in every category.
The G5, while having good color depth, still trailed the 16-megapixel NEX-F3 and E-M5. Both competing cameras were more than 1-bit better than the G5; giving them more than twice the number of color hues and saturations they can capture compared to the G5.
Both mirrorless models from Sony and Olympus trumped the G5 in dynamic range quality. Their half-stop gain over the G5 gives the duo that much more leverage in snagging details in difficult high contrast environments.
The G5's weak low light performance contrasts sharply with the NEX-F3. The Sony camera nabbed a low light score of 1114 ISO, giving it a nearly one-stop advantage over the G5. The NEX-F3's low light operations make it an enviable top pick for sports photographers and adds to its distinct all-around advantage over the G5. The E-M5 sat between the G5 and NEX-F3 in this category.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Panasonic has added a new member to its highly esteemed Lumix G-line. The 16-megapixel Lumix DMC G5 adopts the Japanese brand's mirrorless and Micro Four Thirds technology, and it replaces the one-year-old G3. But did Panasonic's renovation of features and design for the G5 extend to the camera's image quality? DxOMark has some answers.
Added by speculatrix | August 20, 2012
am eagerly awaiting this!
I am contemplating the G3 or G5 and whilst I think the latter is a worthwhile upgrade on features, there is quite a price premium, and I wouldn't want to pay it if the sensor wasn't a significant upgrade. thanks.

What are vaccine-preventable diseases?
Vaccine preventable diseases are those diseases for which there is a shot that helps the immune system prepare for an infection. A person develops immunity after he or she has received a vaccine and responded to it. When a vaccinated person is exposed to a virus (for example, hepatitis B) or bacteria (for example, diphtheria), his or her body is able to destroy the virus or bacteria and prevent the disease. No vaccine is perfect, and some people who receive a vaccine can still get the disease. This is why it is important for everyone to get the vaccine. This gives the community what experts call "herd" immunity and means that, basically, there are very few people who could serve as a reservoir for the disease. Herd immunity prevents severe outbreaks of diseases.

Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[4] For more information pertaining to Palazzo's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[5]
National security
American intervention in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Palazzo signed a letter asking President Obama to "consult and receive authorization from Congress before ordering the use of U.S. military force in Syria." The letter was sent August 28, 2013.[6]
Palazzo supported HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[7]
DHS Appropriations
Palazzo supported HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[7]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Palazzo opposed House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[7]
Palazzo supported HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[8] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[7]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Palazzo supported the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[9] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[10]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[11] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[12] Palazzo voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[13]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[14] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Palazzo voted against HR 2775.[15]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Palazzo supported House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[16] The vote largely followed party lines.[17]
Palazzo supported repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care-Related Provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[6]
Social issues
Palazzo supported HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[18]
WWII Memorial
A group of World War II veterans, associated with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight, wanting to pay their respects at the WWII Memorial were met with signs and barriers upon their arrival. They refused to let their trip be affected by the government shutdown and made their way through the barriers. Many congressional members from both parties spoke their approval of the move, including Sen. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Michele Bachmann, who was in attendance. Rep. Steve King and Rep. Steve Palazzo aided the veterans by distracting park police and helping move the gates.[19]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Palazzo voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257-167 vote on January 1, 2013.[20]
Targeted by Club for Growth Action
In February 2013, the Club for Growth Action, a fiscally conservative Super PAC, launched a website called "www.PrimaryMyCongressman.com." According to the Club for Growth Action, "the purpose of the website is to raise awareness of Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) who are currently serving in safe Republican seats....The website will offer Club members and the general public the opportunity to recommend primary opponents to the incumbents highlighted by Club for Growth Action, as well as to recommend primary challengers for any Republican member of Congress. Club for Growth Action will rotate liberal Republicans through the website to highlight their failed records on limiting government." Palazzo was one of the first nine incumbent Republicans to be targeted by the site, which gave him a lifetime Club for Growth rating of 69%.[21][22]
Campaign themes

MIAMI COUNTY — Three people sustained injuries following a car versus dump truck crash on East U.S. Route 36 at Union-Shelby Road on Thursday morning.
The crash occurred shortly after 9 a.m. when a compact car, southbound on Union-Shelby Road, pulled into the path of a large dump truck that was eastbound on U.S. Route 36. The truck struck the car broadside on the passenger side. The impact drove the truck partially over the top of the car, pinning both the vehicle and occupants.
Rescue crews from Piqua and Fletcher fire departments worked to extricate two victims from the car. CareFlight was requested but was unable to fly due to weather conditions.
The victims in the car have been identified as Colin Hawes, 17, and his sister Katlyn, 13. Both are students at Miami East. Colin is a senior at the high school and his sister a seventh-grader at the junior high school. They were on their way to school when the crash occurred. Miami County deputies said that both are currently in ICU at Children's Medical Center. Their conditions have not been released.
A crash reconstructionist from the Miami County Sheriff's Office was called in to assist in the crash investigation. We will have more information as it becomes available.

Lincoln holds on to beat Terrace
But try telling that to the Mountlake Terrace boys' basketball team.
The Hawks came into Saturday night's game against Lincoln as the No. 9-ranked Class 3A team in the state according to the Seattle Times poll, but the Abes were even more highly regarded at No. 2.
Rankings didn't matter for 31 minutes as the Hawks controlled the game, but the Abes caught up to, and passed, the Hawks in the final minute -- their first lead since early in the first quarter -- and won the game 60-59.
Hawks coach Nalin Sood said it was disappointing to not finish off the Abes.
"If we get too down from this, if we reel from this too much it will be counterproductive," Sood said. "And then if we were walking around thinking we won the state championship because we won by one, it would be counterproductive. You've got to remove the emotion from it."
While the Hawks didn't get the victory, they certainly proved they can play with one of the best teams in the state.
"In terms of on paper, this game meant nothing," Sood said. "It means a lot emotionally. It means a lot confidence wise. It means a lot in terms of mental makeup of kids. But on paper, that's all you have to take from it, on paper it doesn't mean much. We have to go out there and see what we can do to build from this experience."
The Abes chipped away at the Hawks' lead for most of the second half and finally tied the game just over three minutes into the fourth quarter, but the Hawks were relentless. They continued to come up with big basket after big basket, many provided by guard Marquis Armstead, who finished with a team-high 27 points.
The Hawks led 59-55 late in the game when the Abes two best players took charge. First, Tre'Shaun Fletcher cut the deficit to two, and seconds later Ahmaad Rorie tied the game at 59.
Fletcher finished with a game-high 28 points and Rorie added 16.
The Hawks had possession in the final minute and post Greg Bowman got a good look from inside, but his shot rimmed out. Fletcher grabbed the rebound with no intentions of setting up the offense. He took the ball coast-to-coast drawing a foul on Armstead, his fifth personal. Fletcher made one of his two free throws.
The Hawks would have to go into their final possession without the player who had the hot hand for most of the night. They set up a play that got guard Jesse Zerom an open look at a three from straightaway, but his shot hit the back iron. The Hawks immediately fouled Ar'Mond Davis with just 8.2 seconds left. Davis missed the front end of the one-and-one and Zerom quickly pushed the ball up the court for one final chance.
But there was Fletcher once again. Fletcher turned away Zerom's offering at the buzzer and the Abes escaped.
"We had some good opportunities, the basketball gods didn't smile on us and we will just see how the next couple of weeks progress for us," Sood said.
If the Hawks accomplished one thing, it was getting the respect of Lincoln head coach Aubrey Shelton -- if they didn't already have it.
"Those guys are a state-caliber team," Shelton said of Mountlake Terrace. "They are very good. They are missing their point guard (Blake Fernandez) who is out with a broken wrist. But they can really play. I'm glad we could play them and be challenged and see what our guys are made of."
Whether his team expected it or not, Shelton said he knew the Hawks would be ready to play.
"Yes, I absolutely did," he said. "I don't know if our guys were ready, but I knew what they had. They were 23-3 last year. They only lost a couple of guys and those guys are all seniors that played in big games before.
"So, I knew it was going to be a battle."

Comments about Jagwire Basics Comp MTN Cantilver B.Shoe:
These brake shoes work as they are supposed to: they stop the bike. My only negative is against the website description. The description should say these shoes come in PAIRS. I ended up buy twice what I needed because of that missing piece of information.
Best Uses
Comments about Jagwire Basics Comp MTN Cantilver B.Shoe:
This was part of a project of mine to buy a used bike (old Diamondback Topanga), take it apart, clean it, and put it back together. Learned a lot about how a bike functions and got a decent commuter bike on the back end. Brake pad replacement was a must, and these pads are a great value for a fixer upper.
Comments about Jagwire Basics Comp MTN Cantilver B.Shoe:
Very different then my old brake pads, far better stopping power. I have these mounted on the rear and they work great, I was surprised to see that they even performed well when it was raining outside. I'm use to brake pads losing stopping power in the rain, to my surprise, these didn't. Great price.

JTA Best Practices
Why is the JTA API your friend ? How does it help you write better code ? Those are questions that we will try to answer here. These best practices are not limited to BTM but are valid for all JTA implementations. The more you use JTA, the better the world will be.
Why using the JTA API
Even if you're only planning to use a single database in your application (ie: if you don't plan to make use of 2 Phase Commit) using the JTA API is still a good idea as it helps separating concerns in your application.
The biggest benefit is the separation of the transaction management concern from the connection management concern. What does that mean ?
When using 'good old' JDBC, you work with a single object type: the
Connection but this object is used twofolds: for data manipulation (ie:
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) and for transaction management (ie:
COMMIT and ROLLBACK).
This is awkward as you often end up using an object for a concern (data manipulation) then keep it aside for later usage for another concern (committing or rolling back your changes).
Straight JDBC Example
Take this simple example to illustrate our concern:
Example 1
This code is reasonably clean as the calling business method (
executeA_B_C()) does no know that the underlying logic is using JDBC which is good Object Oriented design. It is also possible to encapsulate the JDBC boilerplate code in some helper class, DAO or even delegate that to a more powerful solution like Spring's JdbcTemplate. Data access code will change in that case but the idea stays the same.
Unfortunately the data manipulation is not atomic: if an error happen in
executeBusinessLogicB then all modifications made by
executeBusinessLogicA cannot be rolled back.
A commonly found way to fix this problem is by sharing the
Connection object between all 3 business methods:
Example 2
The code is now much less clean as to ensure all 3 business methods will execute in the same transaction, we pass them a
Connection object which is not of any business value.
Best of both worlds
How to get the clean data access encapsulation of Example 1 together with correct transaction handling of the Example 2 ? A straightforward continuation of the same logic could lead us to some kind of
ConnectionHolder singleton that would store the connection in a
ThreadLocal variable. The different business methods would then get their
Connection from the
ConnectionHolder object.
While this would work, this is not as trivial as it sounds. You would have to initialize the
ConnectionHolder (or make it initialize lazily) then clean up all resources it holds together with exception handling. This also makes the code less reusable as you always need to ensure you have access to a
ConnectionHolder from within your business methods.
A better solution is to separate the transaction management logic from the data access logic, and this is exactly what JTA is for.
Not only is this code more maintainable than the previous example 2 but it also improves example one in two areas: not only is it now fully transactional but the error handling is now centralized.
You don't have to care about connections, just get them from the pool when needed and release them as soon as you're done with it. The transaction manager and the connection pool will ensure the transaction will be committed at the right time.
As long as you're sticking with a single database, you won't pay the extra 2PC costs as the 1PC optimization will kick in. You don't even need a database implementing
XADataSource thanks to the Last Resource Commit implementation.
Extra benefits
JTA not only allows you to cleanly separate our concerns, it also comes with extra benefits:
- 2PC is right at the corner. In case you later on need to access two distinct databases or send/receive JMS messages atomically, you just have to add the extra logic you need without touching your transaction code as you've already taken care of it.
- Resources hog can be avoided. A timeout can be set on the transaction so that you're guaranteed your database connections can't be held more than a specified amount of time. Some transaction managers even offer a configurable default timeout value so you don't even have to change your code. BTM obviously offers that.
- Transactional safeguard. Some transaction managers can be configured so that usage of the pooled connections can only be done while a transaction is running. This allows you to guarantee that all your code is transactional. Once again, BTM implements such feature via its allowLocalTransactions datasource property.

DA: Crime spree couple planned cop killing, kidnapping
SAN DIEGO — A former firefighter, with his 18-year-old girlfriend in tow, was apparently bent on a mission to kill a San Diego police officer and then kidnap and burn to death another person in a continuation of a violent rampage this week, prosecutors said Friday.
Philip Martin Hernandez, 40, a former Cal Fire firefighter in Blythe, was killed in a shootout with police Wednesday night before he could carry out his plans, but his accused teenage accomplice was arrested and is being investigated for her role in the scheme.
The new details were revealed Friday when Cindy Altamirano Garcia was arraigned on felony charges of carjacking, robbery and making criminal threats in connection with a crime spree that began Monday. The young woman, with a disheveled curly bob, remained silent in court as Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber detailed the accusations against her.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser noted the "extreme public safety" threat Garcia posed and ordered her bail set at $1 million. She faces up to 19 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Prosecutors said she was at all of the crimes Hernandez committed on Monday — shootings, arsons and robberies — and could face additional charges.
Her defense attorney said in court that she grew up in National City and had no prior criminal record. Her mother was in court but declined to talk to reporters after the hearing.
Hernandez, divorced with a teenage daughter, began a sexual relationship with Garcia when she was 16. The two moved to Blythe briefly in April, but she reported the relationship to police in May, saying he had grown overly possessive, authorities said.
Riverside County prosecutors charged him with having sex with a minor. A San Diego police officer arrested him two weeks ago on a $10,000 warrant in the case.
But the pair had rekindled their relationship by then, even traveling to Europe together in September, Koerber said.
Hernandez was supposed to appear in court Monday to be arraigned on the sex charges.
Instead, he snapped.
Early Monday, he shot a man in Hillcrest because, prosecutors said, he thought he was targeting a Blythe police officer who had investigated him on the sex abuse charges. The victim, who was walking along Upas Street on the northern edge of Balboa Park when he was wounded, remains in critical condition.
Authorities also said it appeared the couple had planned to locate and kill the San Diego police officer who had arrested Hernandez on the sex abuse warrant.
On Wednesday night, the couple's newly purchased white van was spotted at the San Diego police headquarters downtown. Hernandez drove off after learning he had been spotted by police, Koerber said.
In addition, the prosecutor said, the couple was making preparations to kidnap an unnamed person for ransom. Once kidnapped, the plan was to put the person in the van and set fire to it, Koerber said.
"Some preparations had been made for that to be committed," Koerber said outside the courtroom.

Gallery: Salad Wheel Cooks Up Tasty Vegan Lunch Options Inside a Former...
"I started Salad Wheel to aid the growing need to slow obesity, poor eating and lower income and diverse communities and to overall greaten peoples awareness of simple and healthy good food and beverages," says Reynolds. The eatery's name was one that he had been pondering over for the past 10 years, and alludes to a happy medium between a fast-paced commuter lifestyle and being able to still put healthy and delicious foods into your body. With a mostly vegan menu designed by culinary director Milla Paskal, Salad Wheel offers up an array of satisfying selections with new dishes added regularly. The southwest huevos rancheros, which comes piled high with poached eggs, avocado, corn, brown rice, black beans, feta drizzled with a chocolate tomato salsa is a mainstay but we've also seen delectable newcomers like the crustless quiche with pepper jack, broccoli and roasted peppers and a melty kale, feta and provolone quesadilla with a blueberry pommegranate salsa. Salad Wheel also juices up an assortment of fresh-squeezed fruit and veggie blends daily and shows love to omnivores too with select meat dishes like waffles and bacon.
Hungry Brooklynites who go to Salad Wheel for the food may find themselves cozying up and staying a while thanks to the warm decor and comfortable atmosphere. Reynolds, who comes from an interior design and branding background, took on the task of reimagining and revamping the space, which used to house a bar/club, using mostly salvaged materials. The entire renovation took just 5 months and Reynolds did much of the work himself with help from just two other people. Each element has been well-thought-out with design touches like 100-year-old windows to trim made from what appears to be pieces of a tree with bark and all, to a vintage trunk containing a very eerie surprise (click through our gallery to see what we mean). Reynolds refused to divulge where he acquired his materials except to say that they are from various sources that he would rather not reveal.
Vintage treasures are hidden all around Salad Wheel. Imagine our surprise when Kevin opened a hutch in the dining room and pulled out this 1985 copy of Interview!
In addition to feeding the stomachs of Bushwickians, Salad Wheel has already invested in satiating some of the nabe's hunger for art and beauty. Reynolds has taken charge as the official curator of the large wall right outside of Salad Wheel, commissioning artists like Vexta, Marcine, Vernon Omeally, Celia Helfrich and Lisette Alcade to cover it with colorful murals that will change with the seasons. That sense of creativity will soon also fill up an inside wall with local art as well as limited edition t-shirts featuring "strong cultural imagery evoking the feeling of the neighborhood" by fashion designer JoAnn Berman, who is a neighbor and regular.
When we stopped by, Reynolds was also working on Salad Wheel's back yard, which will debut this summer as an outdoor garden and performance space. So if you're in the Bushwick, Bed Stuy or lower Williamsburg and feeling a little peckish, stop by Salad Wheel for some honest grub and a friendly place to rest your legs for a moment. Oh, and did we mentioned there's free WiFi too?

Allison V-1710-81 (F20R)
The V-1710 is a V-12 liquid-cooled engine with 1,710 cubic inches of displacement and was the only American liquid-cooled engine to see service in World War II. Over 70,000 units were produced between 1931 and 1948.
The Allison Division of General Motors initiated the development of V-1710 in 1930 to meet the needs of the U.S. Army Air Corps for 1,000 hp engine for use a new generation of streamlined fighters and bombers. In various versions it produced up to 1,600 hp. The design allowed for left- or right- hand rotation set up, easy changes of superchargers, and different drive-gear ratios on a single production line.
The U.S. Navy purchased the first V-1710's, the "B" model without a supercharger, for use on the Akron and Macon airships. The Army Air Corp purchased its first V-1710 in December 1932. The Depression slowed development and it was not until 1937 that it completed its Army Air Corp test program.
The "F" model, which includes this V-1710-81 variant (Allison model F20R), had a higher output, less frontal area and shorted overall length than earlier models.
Aircraft powered by the V-1710-81 include:
After the war, V-1710's became popular as a powerplant for hydroplane and racing boats, drag racers, land speed racers.
This engine is located in the Military Hangar on the wall near the 57th Fighter Group display.

Since its inaugural year in 1994, Progressive Field has been recycling plastic, cardboard, and aluminum. The home of the Cleveland Indians continues to be among the industry leaders in taking a proactive approach to supporting various environmental initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint at Progressive Field.
The Indians are energized to continue supporting the environment by expanding upon the campaign "Our Tribe is Green." Launched in 2008, the campaign focuses on recycling during all game days with "Pepsi" recyclable containers throughout Progressive Field for plastic bottles. This program is also implemented in the home and visiting clubhouses throughout the Major League Baseball season and during this offseason. The Tribe recycling efforts are extended into the front office and include recycling all paper and cardboard products. Organic waste composting was added in 2010 and expanded in 2011.
The Cleveland Indians organization is committed to exploring opportunities to help preserve the environment through the use of advanced energy and green options. The organization is pioneering sustainability initiatives by becoming the first in Major League Baseball harness the power of the wind with the 2012 installation of an experimental designed wind turbine. The ease of the Indians recycling program has yielded great results with a 23% recycling rate in 2011 the highest recycling capacity in ballpark history! The Indians understand the responsibility of improving the quality of life by being environmentally conscious within the walls of Progressive Field and beyond. Using sustainable technologies is not only good for the community, but good for baseball.

Adriana Yanira Lopez
|The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Full name:
|Adriana Yanira Lopez
|Also known as:
|Mrs. Lopez
|Date of birth:
|1953 (Age 55)
|Place of birth:
|Dominican Republic
|Northwood, Liberty City
|Unnamed ex-husband
Luis Fernando Lopez (son)
Leta Lopez-Wilkinson (daughter)
Ernesto Lopez (son)
|Main affiliation:
|Armando Torres
Henrique Bardas
|Voiced by:
|Lucia Armendariz
- "You ought not to judge me, Luis Lopez, you're just like your father."
- ―Adriana Yanira Lopez
Adriana Yanira Lopez is a 55-year old Dominican woman who resides in Northwood and is the mother of Luis Fernando Lopez, Leta Lopez-Wilkinson and Ernesto Lopez in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Background and Biography
Adriana is something of a mother to Luis' close friends Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas. Her husband joined the Marine Corps, then ran out on her while two of her children went off to start families. She constantly tells Luis to go back to school and leave behind the guns, drugs, and money fueled nightclub life, but when Luis gives her money that comes with it, she doesn't hesitate to accept it, making her something of a hypocrite. During the cutscene of the mission Clocking Off, Luis confronts her about it, to which she responds hopelessly "What choice do I have? I lost my job!", to which Luis replies with "Then ask one of your other kids for money. The ones you ain't ashamed of."
She is shown to be rather naïve, as Armando, now a drug dealer, has her convinced that he is going to college (as she wants Luis to do) and, as Luis tells Mori Kibbutz during Kibbutz Number One, she once lost a great deal of money in an investment scam. She believes that Mr. Santo (a loan shark who lent her money to keep her home) is a "nice man" after he subtly threatens to burn her apartment down, and forces Luis to go back to cage fighting to repay her debt.
Mission appearances
- The Ballad of Gay Tony
- Momma's Boy (Boss)
- Corner Kids
- Clocking Off
- Departure Time (Post-mission phone call)
- She is the third parent of a protagonist to have a physical appearance in the GTA series, after Janet Vance and Mrs. Philips.
- Adriana is the only mission boss in TBoGT not to appear outside of cutscenes.
- It is very possible that Luis' mother was based on Tony Montana's mother, Georgina Montana, from the movie Scarface. They are both from Hispanic speaking countries (Adriana being from Dominican Republic, and Georgina Montana from Cuba), they both criticize their son's criminal lifestyle (Adriana with Luis, and Mrs. Montana with Tony), they both are struggling financially, and they both have daughters who have healthy relationships with their sons (Leta Lopez-Wilkinson with Luis, and Gina Montana with Tony.) Not to mention they also wear similar outfits.

Action heroes with nothing to lose are the best kind, perhaps the only kind worth watching. In the opening seconds of Jaume Collet-Serra's Non-Stop, Liam Neeson's federal air marshal Bill Marks slumps in his parked vehicle, sloshing a few glugs of whiskey into a paper cup and fingering a snapshot of an adorable tot. In movie shorthand, everything he stands to lose or has already lost is there in that photograph, and Neeson plays to it as if it were a big-name costar. Somehow, this fine and serious actor has reinvigorated his career in middle age by becoming an action hero. He has the face, noble and sad, of a wounded lion. If only Non-Stop were worthy of him. Neeson does nearly everything right in this terror-in-the-skies thriller. Just after takeoff, Marks receives a mysterious text telling him that if a kajillion billion dollars (or thereabouts) isn't wired into a special account within 20 minutes, someone on the plane will die. Marks takes action immediately, but neither he nor we can be sure it's the right action. He does some smart things -- like enlisting new acquaintance Jen Summers (Julianne Moore) to help him scan video surveillance screens to see which passengers in the cabin to might be using their fingers and thumbs to send the offending messages -- and some very dumb things, things that in real life would incite instant panic among the passengers. The script is an atrocity in which dumb stuff happens without a modicum of logic. Nobody's demanding an action-thriller plot that's 100 percent plausible. But is 55 percent too much to ask?Stephanie Zacharek

YouGov: UKIP outpolling LibDems...
Okay, so its one poll and polls can throw up rogue results. But it is still to my knowledge the only time UKIP has ever polled as the third Party amongst the youngest bracket of voters. As Chairman of the Party's youth wing, I am of course delighted.
It is quite simple: UKIP want a 21st century Britain that has sensible trade deals with European nations as well as the Commonwealth and the big developing economic powerhouses like China and Brazil. We also want a return to academic selection, the abolition of tuition fees, a flat tax, a sensible immigration system and a whole host of other common sense, straight talking policies. We are a Party that is forward-looking and that has a radical outlook as to how a 21st century Britain could and should be.
It appears that that message is finally getting through to young voters, long may it continue.
11 comments:
I guess this show's the madness of any cut to the education budget.
- 24 January 2011 at 17:15
Please keep campaigning. I have really hoped for as long as UKIP has been with us that many many more people will switch. I have noticed that there is never enough coverage in normal day to day life to inspire people to believe that this is the alternative to the Tories and Labour parties.
- 24 January 2011 at 18:53
Great to see that we are polling this amongst young people. Hopefully this pushes higher as we continue to push our excellent policies on Grammar Schools, School Credits and of course fee-less Universities.
- 24 January 2011 at 20:09
Excellent. As an 18 year old grammar school student, it's delightful to see the Blue Lib Dems in 4th, rightfully behind UKIP
- 25 January 2011 at 10:35

It is great to see that younger voiters are turning to UKIP. What the coming generation does not realise is the awful committment that the other parties are making for their future welafre by staying in the EU. They must be told that apart from paying back £thousands for their university fees , they will also be paying up to/over £1000/year extra on their food bills because of EU taxes and to cap it all they will be working their back-sides off ALL their working lives to support and pay for up to 100 million EU pensioners. In fact they will be made to work into their 70's so that Greeks etc can retire in their 50's. This is what voting for the Lab/Lib Dem/Con parties REALLY means.
I urge you all to vote UKIP and even better join UKIP now!

Ed, the cuts to the education budget have only just happened. How do you explain your use of the apostrophe in the word shows?
If young people have the brains to realise that UKIP is a genuine alternative to the three old failed parties, they should be commended NOT ridiculed, especially by someone whose grasp of punctuation is not that secure!!
- 25 January 2011 at 14:21
Not only in the 18-24 group but also in the C2DE group as well.
I note with delight that we have picked up 3 Conservatives, 3 Labour and 3 Liberal Democrats from the 2010 General Election vote. This proves that our support comes from all political parties and not just from the Conservatives.

Your caveat about rogue polls was well-founded. Today's YouGov poll (http://today.yougov.co.uk/sites/today.yougov.co.uk/files/YG-Archives-Pol-Sun-results-240111.pdf) shows UKIP polling '0' amongst 18-24 year-olds. That's not only behind the Lib Dems, but behind the BNP, Greens, SNP and Plaid Cymru.
The latest result is more consistent with most previous YouGov polling from December and January which puts UKIP between 0-3% of 18-24 year olds.
At 88 respondents, there was an unusually low number of 18-24 year-olds in the sample (there are between 120 and 150 in most other polls) so I would suggest that this extreme outlier was the result of a disproportionate response from the sample group (UKIP responses held up whilst overall responses went down) in a single poll.
Nice spin, though.
- 25 January 2011 at 15:15
Mmmmm, rogue polls.
The most cheering thing about going to several hustings in the 2009 election, was the hostility the youth were showing to their UKIP reps - who continually peddled demonstrable falsehoods, rumour, and innuendo which the students were too smart to fall for. Long may it continue, in our union of free trade, with a democratically elected assembly passing the regulatory laws - which UKIP want to scrap.
- 27 January 2011 at 19:05
- DeeDee99 said...
Not only will our students be paying for their own fees, but if we stay in the EU, they will (as taxpayers) be paying for students from the EU who take UK Government loans and don't pay them back.
Our young people will be in the ludicrous position of paying £9000 a year in tuition fees, whilst EU students will effectively get away scot free.
- 27 January 2011 at 20:34
- Brittopic said...
Charles, whilst I agree with you that UKIP has a credibility gap which it needs to fill in order to be convincing, I think that you should show some of that being 'too smart to fall' when it comes to the EU.
The Commission, which has the sole power of initiation of these regulatory laws, is not elected. The Council of Ministers is not directly elected to serve in that capacity and the European Parliament enjoys turnout of less than half EU-wide and, in regards to the UK, of little over a third. I would not be at pains to call such an institution legitimate in exercising its 'democratic' mandate, especially as the powers of the Parliament as extended by the Lisbon Treaty were not put before the British public as promised when they were the very same powers under the European Constitution.
Also, Charles, to portray the EU as simply a free-trade area with a body responsible for regulation rather misses the point of what the European Project is trying to achieve by this process - a federated Europe. How does a European Investigation Order keep my tomatoes tariff-free and its growers well-paid?

Mexico City–based artist Mario García Torres creates cinematic narratives that explore obscure histories and personalities associated with conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s. He presents his projects in a variety of media, including video, installation, photography, and sculpture, and he often uses antiquated technology, such as 16-mm film and slide projections, to parallel the era he is revisiting. For each work, García Torres researches evidence and myths related to relatively unknown events from the larger, more well-known moments of that specific period in art history.

They are only improvements. I mentioned that the design is of Rob!.
All pages are only improvements..., but now:
- Input and output with the LDR is a circuit isolated from the rest of the circuit.
- The DEPTH control acts only in the LED.
- The connection of footswitch is totally different, now cuts the voltage and the guitar is completely isolated from the circuit.
- Reverse polarity protection.
- Cap filter.
- Resistors for LEDs.
Isn't that enough for a tiny circuit?
EDIT: ...and the DEPTH value!

So I don't understand. Is the fact that the game is on NBATV going to black it out here on FSNO? Or vice versa?
I see a FSNORHD on DirecTV, which I'm guessing is Fox Sports New Orleans HD, but I can't see it. Says I'm not subscribed. I have the Choice package. Is it channel 668?
I paid $179 for NBA League Pass, but it would cost me roughly $90 a month extra to get the package that includes NBATV. So it looks like I'll have to stream the team's first game of the season.
Is FSNORHD Fox Sports North? I'm reading that it should be 667, which says it's Comcast Sports.
Found it on Wiki...
DirecTV (US) 678 (SD)
To those with AT&T UVerse in NO:
Looks like we're going to be on channel 1758 called FSWHa3 as in FSN Southwest HD Alternate 3. It's off air up until 7:30 Wed with Hornets pregame and the Hornets game at 8. Which is... wrong if it's central time.
I'm in New Orleans and on cox my tv show FSN and they are showing the Mavericks game. I don't understand
Still nothing with Charter.
I just put it on my Cox 38. My guide says Texas Christian at Oklahoma State and when I put it on, that's what's on. And oddly enough Joel Meyers is commentating. :)
I have Dish, and live in Illinois, so I will have no problem getting the game on NBATV. I was wondering what channel the pre games will be aired on. I have looked through my guide, and do not see any channel FSNO. Also looked at Friday's listings, and nothing Hornets related on my guide. The games are airing on NBATV, or NBALP, but would like to watch pregame as well.
Anyone have any clue regarding Dish?
Dish is in.
Also, that's one program. Looking over the weekend and noting SEC ball instead of big 12 might have been helpful.
Or just realizing that today is not tomorrow and there should be no expectation of the world placating unfounded fears about something suppised to happen tomorrow not having happened early.
So... wait.
Yes, it may get screwed up, but the deal is done. Chill out.
I'm expecting it to all be corrected tomorrow. They said the 31st so we'll see on the 31st.
Also, I wonder if they'll re-air the games at midnight or 1am like CST did in the past. ???
Why are you so irritable the past two days 42? :hihi: It's not unreasonable for people to be uneasy about not knowing what channel the season opener is going to be on the day before it happens.
Imagine if that happened for the Saints opener or something, the city would lose it's mind calling and protesting the NFL :hihi:
Other FS did at least some replays. I like them.
As far as irritable goes, I'm not. People pre-freaking about the TV are.

My parents were Catholic and Sicilian. I was circumcised as an infant and I'm happy with it. I might not opt to do it as an adult just because of pain and discomfort. Vile? Criminal? What's that about?
Well it's not criminal as no laws are broken, obviously, but it is vile in a sense. Just think about it. There is NO good biological or pragmatic reason to cut off the foreskin off the penis, and every reason in the world to keep it. Evolution has a very important role for the foreskin: it serves as protection for the very sensitive tip of the penis. When you remove the foreskin and the tip of the penis is constantly exposed over time, due to rubbing against clothes and so on, it becomes increasingly desensitized. As a result uncircumcised men experience more pleasure when they have sex.
As for the "cleanliness" line of thinking, it makes no sense, especially in today's world. Anybody who is going to be filthy uncircumcised is also going to be filthy circumcised. All it means is that they're not taking care of their hygiene. Cleanliness has nothing to do with whether or not one has a flap of skin covering his penis and everything to do with one's hygienic practices.
