Freshman duo carries on legacy of fallen teammate
September 11, 2012
Jake Fritz, Kevin Powers play in memory of Tyler Lucas
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — When Jake Fritz and Kevin Powers, high school teammates and longtime friends, led a freshmen lacrosse class to Dominican University of California last academic year, they came with high expectations.
They aimed to play. They aimed to score. They aimed to please.
"We knew that there were no seniors graduating (from last year's team) and we knew they had a few games where they were one or two goals short," Powers said. "We knew with the contribution of our freshmen class we would be able to win some of those games."

Proper Hand Signals
Park personnel and especially the bus drivers use an interesting system of hand signals to identify animal sightings in the park. A "wolf" is signified by holding up the first three fingers like a "W," a "lynx" by forming an "L" with your thumb and index finger. A "bear" is identified by a clawed hand, a "caribou" by extending the index finger and pinkie and by suppressing the middle fingers with your thumb. A "moose" by holding your thumb to your temple and extending the other fingers outward like antlers. Most of the main animals can be represented using one hand, all part of the Denali lore.

Christmas in August!
I 've been surprised to know about one of Denali Park traditions to celebrate Christmas in August too. Local people explained me it was because on 23rd of August at Denali Park often started snowing. No, don't be afraid! It's not real snowfall, just a little. But I like this tradition - Santa Claus, Christmas gifts, decorated Christmas tree, wonderfull dinner and a lot of fun, music and smiles. Doesn't really matter it is August. The most important thing - people were happy! You can see one moment of this celebration at my picture.
Bustling train station
Holland and Princess are the biggest tour operators in Denali. They combine their cruise with land tours, bringing in thousands of tourists everyday. Also, their season starts early in May, while the Park doesn't officially open till Memorial Day weekend. So, when I visited Denali in early May, it's almost as if the Park was owned by Holland and Princess.
Both companies have huge resorts in or near Denali National Park, and their guests all arrive by Alaska Railroad (part of their land tour package). Everyday around 2 pm, they bus their guests from previous day to the station. When the train arrives, they first unload new guests from train and load the old guests on the train. Then they use the same bus to send the new guests to the resort. The operation is bustling but highly effecient. As seen in photo, they have their own Holland or Princess dome cars drawn by Alaska Railroad locomotive. The day I was there, I counted the number of cars drawn: 5 for Holland, 5 for Princess. Only 2 for regular train travellers.
- National/State Park
- Trains
Proper Terminology
Park rangers and personnel (especially at the Visitor Center) use their own specialized vocabulary to describe scenes or conditions in the park. Since topography varies to extremes in Denali, certain adjectives are meant to convey the pleasures or perils involved in certain sections. In places where footing is difficult or the way is choked with vegetation (such as alder or tussock), the place is "shwacky" (i.e. where "bushwhacking" is involved). Wonder Lake at the end of the park road is informally known as "Mosquito Lake," and even the bus drivers insist that windows are sealed tight on their approach. A trained ear can pick up such informative terms from incessant dialogues among the park's personnel.
- National/State Park
- Family Travel
Rules of Engagement
Park literature prescribes certain minimum distances you are to keep from the park's wildlife. Standards exist for every mammal that might bite or charge you, but common sense is the proper guide. Regulations explicity state that 75 feet is the closest you may come to a moose or Dall sheep, and a 1/4-mile from bears, with a full chart of the appropriate distances for each important animal in the park's visitor guide (the Denali Alpenglow). One general rule of thumb: if your behavior forces the animal to change its behavior, you're too close.

How to Put the Roof Over Your Heads
Park regulations are specific concerning the practices of backcountry campers. Before you are allowed to pitch your tent anywhere outside the established campgrounds, you are required to watch a 45-minute video. Among other things it suggests that you pitch your tent in the open (to lessen the chances of surprise) and to choose your spot wisely (i.e. away from berry patches, etc.) These suggestions have the park's bears in mind. Formally, you are required (1) to pitch your tent no closer than 1/2-mile from the park road, (2) to camp totally out of sight of the park road, and (3) to pitch your tent at least 100 feet from sources of water (200 feet if possible).

Don't approach the animals
It's customary here to give animals their space - they need a lot of it. It disrupts their day when a person ventures too close.
At a minimum, the park service says to stay at least 50 yards away from a bear. If it's a mama with cubs, 100 yards. Really though, these are minimums! Why take a chance with your life?
It's a different situation from the bus. Bears have become accustomed to buses stopping near them. They know there is no threat. If you're outside the bus, however, hiking in their territory, then it's a totally different ball game. They have to access you, as you may be a threat. You should have no trouble if you take precautions. Make noise while hiking to avoid surprising a bear and if you see a bear, make a wide arc around it. If you plan to hike, inform yourself well at the visitor center about hiking in bear country.
Other animals can be dangerous too! More people are injured or killed by moose in Alaska than by bears! Most incidences occur when moose cows perceive a threat to their calves. Overall, there aren't many incidences such as these so you shouldn't cancel your trip! Just be smart and avoid approaching these animals and bring a good zoom lens and binoculars instead.
Even the bears are doing it...
Just chillin on a hot summer's day... well, hot by their standards...
This was a really cool sighting! This Mama grizz and her two cubs (at least in their 2nd year) were just lazing around here on the snow. This photo was taken right from the bus window and without much zoom!
Cool off on the snow patches
If the Alaskan heat is getting to you, go plop yourself on one of these patches of snow and cool down for awhile. =)
That's exactly what these caribou are doing. Another reason why you might see caribou resting on snow is to escape the hoards of mosquitos that plague them. In open areas such as this though where it's often windy, there aren't as many mosquitos since they don't have much in the way of trees and brush to cling to.

Strengths: This bike eats the downs in total control. Sram guide brakes haul up with astonishing but controllable power. Cane creek double barrel is frankly amazing.spend time setting it up. And the lyrik solo air forks also take the hits without flinching. Its not the lightest bike but getting back up the hills is pretty damn easy too.
Weaknesses: Wheelset not as strong as the rest of the bike but i am totally abusing it and its still running well. Also the brakes were leaking out of the box.turned out to be a nut left loose

Artist creates mesmerizing "Pneumatic Sponge Ball Accelerator"
Niklas Roy's Pneumatic Sponge Ball Accelerator
The machine has two bubbles between which it moves the foam balls
The direction of the airflow can be changed to avoid one of the bubbles simply filling up
The machine is powered by a vacuum cleaner
A large illuminated sign points to the touch sensor that individuals can use to activate the machine
Touching the sensor a second time will change the direction of the airflow
The sensor is clearly marked and simple to use
Fiber optics are used to light the sensor
Almost all the workings of the machine are transparent, so that users can see what's happening
The machine was designed to be intriguing to passers-by, simple to use and mesmerizing to watch
The Pneumatic Sponge Ball Accelerator is installed at the Tschumi Pavilion in Groningen, The Netherlands
There is 150 m (492 ft) of tubing through which the balls travel
The balls hit speeds of up to 4 m/s (13 ft/s)
The machine is illuminated at night-time
Th workings appear highly complex to the user
The machine is inspired by particle accelerators such as the LHC
When the direction of the airflow is reversed, hundreds of the balls slow down all at the same time and then speed up in the other direction
Roy says he would change the airflow if he had the opportunity to do so, to make it spiral into the bubbles
Article Summary
If you were fascinated by marble runs as a kid, then you'll want to take a look at a new machine created by artist Niklas Roy. The Pneumatic Sponge Ball Accelerator is an interactive installation that sucks foam balls though transparent tubes at high speed. Users can control the direction of the airflow.

Dependable CleanersRead MoreThe fashions may have changed since 1944, but the service and family ownership of Dependable Cleaners has remained constant. The dry-cleaning company started as a single shirt-laundry facility and has since expanded into 16 locations. The chain is now owned by a third-generation Fawcett. A few of the 16 locations offer a new addition called Style, a hand-cleaning service that treats designer and high-end garments. Expansion isn't the only success of the company since its inception more than 65 years ago. Dependable Cleaners has garnered a number of awards, including the title of Boston magazine's Best Gown Preservation in 2008. The cleaner also proudly does its part to create a sustainable Earth by using EarthCare Cleaning Systems to clean clothing with natural, recyclable solutions that break down naturally in the environment, unlike the emotionally imperturbable Philip Seymour Hoffman. While laundering shirts, the cleaner uses biodegradable soaps and hangs newly dry-cleaned dresses, suit jackets, pants, and sweaters on recycled hangers and garment bags.391 Washington StreetBraintree, MA US

The fragrant array of tapers soothes the senses without excess residue or allergen-heavy flower gardens once matches have kindled wicks made from standard cotton or distinctive pine, which adds a crackling sound and a magnified fragrance to the atmosphere. For flame-free exhilaration, car air fresheners enhance stifling commutes while odor-neutralizing room sprays employ clean scents to remove the stale smell of garbage or the family dog's attempts at cooking.250 Granite St.Braintree, MA US

Missing out on federal funds hurts early education
We urge educators and state officials to find out why Mississippi didn't receive any federal grants for its pre-k programs and to be prepared to submit a winning application next year. (December 12, 2014, Page 4)
Local projects squashed by Senate
When a $1.27 trillion funding bill was killed earlier this month by Republicans trying to rein in spending, Oxford lost $2.8 million it was expecting to get to renovate its aging historic City Hall. Some local transit projects and University of Mississippi initiatives also saw their funding cut as a result of this effort to bring federal spending under control. (December 28, 2010, Page 1)

A remote watch (FIG. 7) design for a car security system, comprising of a display screen and base 706 with keypad 704. A user of the remote watch will not only be able to keep track of the time but also will be able to arm/lock, disarm/unlock and remotely start their vehicle by pushing specific buttons on the watch. It is common for people to lose or misplace their keys along with the keyless remote that is attached to the keys. Since the watch is placed on the users wrist, the user never has to worry about damage due to dropping it on a hard surface, in liquids (ex. water), or even losing their keyless remote as you would by having a keyless remote attached to keys or a key chain. If the user ever loses their keys, the remote watch will now allow the user to still have access to their vehicle without their keys, thus giving the user the freedom to store an extra set of keys in their vehicle in case they lose the original ones.
1. A vehicle security system comprising:
(a) a wristwatch remote comprising a housing base containing operating electronics and a plurality of control means for adjusting watch functions and controlling security system functions; a keypad; a voice activation control mechanism; a speaker; a display panel being located on a front surface of said housing base proximate said keypad; a mechanism with a plurality of means for alerting user of vehicle tampering; transceiver, code generator, switching circuit, mode controller, memory and audio input/output device; a programmed menu; means for transmitting operational signals between wristwatch remote and onboard control module;
(b) a hinged-body connected to said housing of wristwatch remote, a plurality of display screens located on said hinged-body displaying digital readouts;
(c) a hinged-body operating mechanism on wristwatch remote;
(d) a hinge mechanism on wristwatch remote;
(e) onboard module comprising vehicle sensors for detecting vehicle tampering within specific senor zones, controller processing unit, memory unit, timer, antenna, input interface switches, input interface, output interface, transceiver and proximity detector.

Priority as claimed under 35 USC 119/e for Provisional Patent Application 60/470,566, filed May 14, 2003
The present invention relates to interacting with a security system through a watch interface. The watch will be comprised of a display screen(s) that will show digital read-outs of the security system's status. The invention comprises relaying regular watch functions (time, date, etc.) also on a display screen(s).
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to security systems for vehicles and will later expand to homes. A user of the remote watch will not only be able to keep track of the time but also will be able to arm/lock, disarm/unlock and remotely start their vehicle by pushing specific buttons on the watch. It is common for people to lose or misplace their keys along with the keyless remote that is attached to the keys. Since the watch is placed on the users wrist, the user never has to worry about damage due to dropping it on a hard surface, in liquids (ex. water), or even losing their keyless remote as you would by having a keyless remote attached to keys or a key chain.
2. Prior Art (Discussion and Criticism of the Relevant Prior Art)
Some of the latest inventions in the field of car security have been the 2-way transceivers.
They comprise of:
i. A display screen
ii. 4 buttons
iii. A small antennae
The 2-way transceiver remote confirms that your vehicle has received signals and alerts the user to system triggers and theft attempts. This remote can display 20 different icons including transmit, receive, remote start, arm/disarm, hood, trunk, door ajar, and extra sensors. The Auto Security Compustar is a semi-small remote start keyless entry that displays a car on the screen and shows the part of the car that is being tampered with.
These particular devices look like toys. They both still hold true to the traditional keyless entry remotes that can be attached to a key chain and possibly damaged by those people who toss their keys around and lost by those who are careless. It is also not waterproof as our invention can be and will not have the style along with convenience, as our invention will.
The advantages of this invention are:
This design assumes the main source of power is a 3 V DC supply for a watch circuit and for a remote control transmitter circuit. It is assumed that eight single-post-single-single-throw switches are available, each connected to some switched circuit and each with a low voltage terminal and a high voltage terminal. The circuit works for a low voltage terminal post that is approximately at ground potential and for small AC signals at open-circuited switch terminals. The Lth pair of switch lines are connected to an impedance (ZSDL) that models the Lth switched circuit, L ε{1, 2, . . . , 8}.
By assumption, eight switches are available from two systems: the watch and the remote control transmitter 300. The switching circuitry 301 enables the controlling and operating means of the watch and security system functions by the selection of any one of the eight pairs of lines 304 across which a switch can be placed. This selection occurs by placing a three-bit binary address on the switch select lines 304. In addition, the switching circuitry 301 develops an electronic switch that opens and closes, placing it across the selected pair of lines (the Lth lines).
Normally a mechanical SPST switch with two terminals is connected to a "switched circuit 400." This switch is removed, replaced by an electronic switch 403. The electronic switch 403 consists primarily of an enhanced metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (EnMOSFET). The EnMOSFET switch consists of a source 403 a, gate 403 b, and drain 403 c. The EnMOSFET AC Switch (EACS) circuit indirectly connects the high 402 and low 401 terminals of the switch for small AC signals. The 2 kΩ resistor 404 on the drain provides on-state protection, and determines a DC quiescent point.
This design assumes the main source of power is a 3 V DC 600 supply for a watch circuit 602 and for a remote control transmitter 601 circuit. It is assumed that eight single-post-single-single-throw switches are available, each connected to some switched circuit and each with a low voltage terminal (603 b & 604 b) and a high voltage terminal (603 a & 604 a). The switching circuitry primarily consists of the EACS 609 and two multiplexers. Two 8-to-1 multiplexers operate in parallel sharing the same address lines (switch select lines). One multiplexer 611 selects the high potential terminal of the Lth switch and the other 612 selects the low potential terminal. The EACS 609 produces the opening and closing actions of the switch.
Watch Transmitter
The remote watch car alarm system includes the watch (see
Referring to the schematic block diagram of
The control section 207 of the watch has a mode controller 209, code generator 210, and an alarm timer 208. The mode controller 209 sets the mode in which the watch will operate. The code generator 210 inputs code data 212 to the circuitry of the transceiver 211. The timer 208 will cause the mode controller 209 to switch back to the watch setting (mode) after a car security button is pressed on the keypad 201. The timer 208 will then alert the user when an alarm time is activated via the buzzer 206. As would be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
The digital remote watch further includes memory (203) and a buzzer (206). The memory 203 will be used for storage of data such as the set alarm generating time (wake-up alarm), the mode being currently affected, the month, day, year data, and the time (hour/minute). The buzzer 206 will chirp with the corresponding car security functions (ex. arm/disarm) as well as with (wake-up) alarm settings.
Onboard Control Module
Referring to
The controller-processing unit 100 generates a series of control signals or pulses as its outputs. These include activities such as locking the doors and arming the system. For example, arming the system causes a flash of the automobile parking lights 125, a single chirp from the siren 126, and causing the flashing the interior LED 124 status indicator to activate. Additionally, arming the system causes the starter 118 to be cut and if the interior dome light 123 is on, to turn it off, as would be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
The timer component 105 measures a preset time and is set and/or reset under the control of the controller-processing unit 100. The memory 104 functions as an internal memory for the controller-processing unit 100 or as an auxiliary memory for other components or devices incorporated in the system. Data writing to or reading from the memory is performed under the control of the controller-processing unit 100. This is readily understood by those skilled in the art.
As illustrated, the input interface 109 is connected to various vehicle inputs including an ignition switch 111, trunk switch 112, hood switch 113, door switches 114, key in ignition switch, pre-warn sensor, valet switch 115 and zone sensors 106. The sensor zone circuitry 106 performs the security function of the automobile. When the sensor zone circuitry 106 detects tampering, it generates a signal and feeds it directly to the controller-processing unit 100. As would be readily understood by those skilled in the art, other inputs are also contemplated by the present invention and are described by the term sensor.
The output interface 110 of the controller-processing unit 100 can be connected to a variety of output devices. The outputs may include and not limited to auxiliary relays such as window control 116 or remote start 121, as would be readily understood by those skilled in the art. Other outputs include a panic output 117, starter kill 118, disarm/arm outputs 119/120, dome light 123, parking lamps 125, siren 126, alphanumeric character display 122, and valet/dashboard red or green emitting LED's 124.
Basic Design
The user can switch the function of the watch using the directional buttons 1022 & 1026 to navigate through the menu options, and the select button 1010 or the tri-functional button 1018 will be used to select a particular menu option.—The remote start button 1011 will start the user's vehicle; arm/lock button 1012 will arm the security system and lock the user's vehicle. The disarm/unlock button 1013 will disarm the car security system and unlock the vehicle; the panic button 1014 will cause the car security alarm to activate when depressed.—Reference numerals 1015–1021 are alpha/numeric buttons which are used for inputting numbers/letters for the setting of time, date, names, changing the date, telephone numbers, etc. Reference numerals 1022 & 1026 are the alpha/directional buttons, which navigate the user through the digital security watch's menu functions. Button 1018 is a tri-functional button that allows the user to select a menu option, input the number 0, or the letters XYZ.
The remote watch security system provides a very reliable, economical device that can be used by persons of almost any age, linking the individual to his/her vehicle at all times, giving feedback on the condition of the vehicle and vibrating or beeping to alarm the individual that their vehicle is being tampered with. While the above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of one preferred embodiment thereof. Many other variations are possible that we did not consider important enough to show in drawing and describe in detail in our description. For example, this device can have minor variations in color, size, and materials. Furthermore, the digital watch can have variations in these areas:

Re: Propane or alcohol
It all depends on the size of the boat and what other equipment you are installing to use a given fuel. I have an old kenyon pressure alcohol unit i have used for many years with no problems. ( i can make my own fuel for it) If not a live aboard and considering propane or alcohol conversion purchase a portable propane camp stove (they use the disposable cylinders) and see which you prefer to cook with. Here in the northwest you can find them used on craigslist for under 50 bucks. if you are liveaboard there are other concerns to think about are you also going to install a propane heater. Regardless of your choice attention to detail keeps bad stuff from happening.

BJP seized the opportunity for nailing the UPA government's wavering Pakistan policy over the killing of two Indian soldiers by intruding Pak soldiers across the LoC in Jammu. While leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj spoke to national security adviser Shiv Shankar Menon and expressed the opposition party's security concerns, leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley, talked of "redrawing the red lines" in the bilateral relations.
Party's chief spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad described the beheading of one of the two soldiers and the mutilation of the body of another as "inhuman, barbaric". Prasad, however, parried a DNA query about American pressure on the NDA and UPA governments to keep the dialogue going with Pakistan, and said the NDA government went ahead with the 1998 nuclear tests despite US opposition and the sanctions that followed.
Meanwhile, attacking the Congress-led UPA government over the killing of soldiers, the Shiv Sena in Mumbai has demanded defence minister AK Antony's resignation. The party which is opposed to sports and cultural ties with Pakistan, has questioned why India was playing cricket with Pakistan while Indian soldiers were being killed.

Great new holster everyone should look into!Does the Kydex Thread really make a difference? I have 2 Shielded Holsters from Kwart, and they have several rivets on each side. The only bennefit I can see is that it would make for a more flexible holster, but around where the kydex meets the leather isn't where you want flex...right?

Great new holster everyone should look into!
OOPss forgot the link[URL]http://shtfgear.com/[/URL]
Here's that link to their site. Yeah I'm sure that crossbreed would be more than happy to repair the cracked kydex for me. Dont get me wrong I love the crossbreed for sure but the little improvements that the SHTF holster has have really made it that much more appealing to me. I'm also a smaller kind of guy so a smaller gun with this holster has just happened to be the answer to my year round conceal carry problems. The comfort and concealability was just that much better. I reccomend crossbreeds for sure and dont dispute how great they are, but if your in the market for a holster of this type or any holster for that matter, I'd strongly suggest giving the guys over at SHTF GEAR a good looking into. There are alot of great holsters like Donhume or my $80 all leather pancake galco holster which has all the comfort I could want but it really imprints on anything not layered or a suit coat. Also drawing and putting the gun back to the holster was shockingly natural and much easier with the kydex support. I'm not sure if it's the gentle built in cant or the positioning of the kydex on the leather backing but it's as easy a one handed draw and return i've had of all the holsters i've tried. These are really great and they do offer a 30 day money back guarantee if it's not what you want. Go ahead and contact them and see. Thanks for the input guys! I always enjoy some good input and ideas to bounce around with.

Great new holster everyone should look into!J.I.T. SLIDE
This is also a great holster for my G19. I carry everyday and this is very easy to conceal. Not for deep cover like an IWB but with any button down shirt it works well. This holster holds the weapon as clos to the body as anything else I've tried. Inexpensive as well!
Posted 07-31-2011 at 14:28 by glock1st
Great new holster everyone should look into!Well, I took another look at the SHTF and I do like the way the leather is cut. It looks like it will give you a little better mobility around your hip when you sit down. Definately something to look at. I would like to try one out for a week or so to really give an objective opinion.
Posted 07-29-2011 at 12:03 by RalphE
Great new holster everyone should look into!Basically what you've got with the SHTF model is a crossbreed combat cut. Crossbreed has made a couple oof rigs for me which I've been very pleased with, but I have to admit that I have done some modification to their design including trimming the kydex,leather and repositioning the belt clips. If you get in touch with crossbreed they would probably repair/replace the kydex on your rig for a minimal fee or maybe for nothing. Give them a call and see if they can help you. The last rig they made for me they did in a hurry because I only had a two week turn around before I headed back to Afghanistan. Not many folks will put you ahead of others which I understand, but I do appreciate their customer service. Very good folks at crossbread!

Emil Tsereteli Talks about Problematical Situation at Alazani Territory
According to the head of Geology Service of the Ministry of Environment Emil Tsereteli, the situation at the territory of river Alazani is very problematic.
"Last year, during the season of fall, the specialists of our service and geography institution inspected the area. The situation is very problematic. The right side of Alazani gets flooded and every year we lose hundreds of hectare of land. As for the strengthening works of the shore, first of all the situation should examined in detail on the spot. We should ascertain what exactly we are talking about. Strengthening the shore only in certain places may bring worse outcome. The strengthening works should be conducted in every respect. That has not been implemented yet," – states Tsereteli with the newspaper Resonance.
According to him, if the situation is not evaluated in every aspect, nothing can be done. "The plan shall be drawn out in the unified system. This is very serious problem. We cannot solve it this simply," – states Emil Tsereteli.
Tsereteli cannot say concretely why the strengthening works are not starting when the situation is this hard.
Caucasian Environmental NGO Network (CENN) published a report about the transformation of Georgian-Azerbaijan border on March 29. According to the report, 69 spots of amended territories were detected on the border line near Alazani River. In 42 cases, the factual border line has moved inside Georgian territory and only 27 of them moved inside Azerbaijan. The total loss of Georgian territory amounted to 293 hectares.

Scott Brown is looking forward to next year's Champions League clash with Andrea Pirlo.
Scottish champions Celtic will face Italian giants Juventus in the Round of 16 in Europe's premier club competition with the first leg at Parkhead on February 12.
Hoops skipper Brown is well aware just how influential Italian veteran Pirlo is and cannot wait to go head-to-head with the 33-year old.
"In my position he's probably the one that I would say I would most like to be, but it's going to be me against him and I want to be coming out the winner at the end of that," he said after Thursday's draw.
"It's been good playing against him and I learned a lot.
"He's their main player week in week out. He's the one that makes them tick. He's the one that threads the through balls and gets on the ball to start off the moves.
"He's the one that we are going to really have to watch out for."

Forest Fire Scorches Island of Rodos
August 5, 2008
Over the last weekend of July, a large forest fire on the Greek island Rodos (Rhodes) forced hundreds of tourists to evacuate. This image of the island was captured on July 29, 2008, by the MODIS on NASA's Terra satellite. It uses a combination of visible and infrared light to highlight the burned area, which stands out as a brick red patch across the central part of the island. Unburned vegetation is bright green.
The fire burned out of control for several days in the fourth week of July, but as of the time of this image, MODIS did not detect any remaining hot spots.

People always talk about how you'll meet unique characters if you embrace travel, but you don't always expect to meet someone who's personal story is jaw-dropping. That's what happened when I met Brad.

Ringelmann showed that three men only pull as hard as two and a half men, and eight only pull as hard as four. Far from synergy, group effort creates an inverse productivity ratio.
As we head into July 4th, this might be a good time to remind people in pairs that singles often greet summer holiday weekends not with anticipation, but with dread.

Blaze's Equine Rescue
You may remember that Faith and I are from Oklahoma. We found a great horse rescue in Jones, Oklahoma just down the road from where my parents live. The Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue has been operating in Jones for many years and has been very successful in helping abused and neglected animals. Here's a bit about the rescue: (www.blazesequinerescue.com)
" Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue, Inc., located in Jones, Oklahoma, is a non-profit 501(C)3 organization that strives to improve the lives of neglected, starved and abused horses. We provide equine rescue regardless of age or disability. We provide Rehabilitation, Education and Adoption Services. We promote and teach horse care and humane, natural methods for training horses. Our primary focus is Animal Cruelty Cases. We work closely with the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division and the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office with their Equine related Animal Cruelty Cases. We also assist any other local/rural County Sheriff's Office who request our assistance."
You can help in a few ways! You can donate your time, your money, or both if you like. These animals need cared for and they need homes as well as simple sponsorship. Some people can't afford to own a horse so they donate to the care and medical attention these horses need. This way they feel connected to an animal. However, that being said, the rescue is dedicated to finding GREAT forever homes for their animals; many of which would be lost without you. Please consider helping. Thank you.

Faith has a new kitten friend named Buble!
Faith loves her new kitten! We adopted little Buble (named after the great jazz singer Michael Buble) just last week when it was discovered that he was going to be put down for being - - can you believe it -- unadoptable! Buble is 6 weeks old, and was found as a stray in our city; which has a great shelter. The shelter however has overcrowding and they deem animals unfit for adoption when they have birth defects to make room for the more, shall we say, standard animal. Buble is blind in his right eye. It probably happened as he was coming down the birth canal. His mother was a ferrel cat, so there's no telling what the situation may or may not be. He falls under the category of being unadoptable and therefore he was on death row.
Because we foster a lot of animals and have a great rapport with the shelter, the manager was willing to overlook a rule or two and allow us to foster Buble for a little while and then adopt him properly after our family was found to be a home wherein he could expect to thrive. Being unadoptable never stopped Buble!
From the second he came home he decided he was going to be the new ruler of the house - - well, cats do that. He began with Faith of course, as she is the Queen, and believe me, she is 100% smitten. They are best of friends. The bed is no longer lonely for Faith, who has been sleeping under it by herself lately since the other dogs have decided to be on top of the bed. Now she has a buddy to play with and playing all day is on both of their agendas. Buble thinks the world of Faith, and she's excited he's a part of her life too. When I explained to Buble that Faith was famous he didn't seem to care one bit -- not one to be star struck I suppose. She looks and smells like a good friend to him, and that's all that matters. Buble even shares his food with Faith from time to time. We gave him June 1 for a birthday; he's already making plans to celebrate. (Cats do that too)

Love for Ft. Hood Soldiers and Families
Faith and her family grieve and mourn the loss at Ft. Hood, Texas yesterday. The lives of men and women in uniform hit harder to our family and our hearts than any other. We will try to make a trip to the base as soon as we can, as soon as we are allowed to go. Faith of course doesn't know or understand the reasons for my tears, but she has been a great help in comforting me through the news stories and the internet stories I have tried to research. My love and heart, my prayers and soul go out to the families of those killed, hurt, and affected forever by this act. Please join us in supporting our troops through this time.

The capital markets are under heavy selling pressure again on Thursday, as the late rebound that occurred Wednesday during New York hours has already vanished. U.S. stock futures are sharply lower, with correction levels rounding into view for both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.
- 9:12 am (EDT)
- Crude Falling Fast
- Paul Vigna
Welcome to another day of As the Markets Churn.
We've already got our first winner, or as the case may be, loser. Crude oil was pushed under the $80 mark, making it the first of yesterday's lines in the sand to be erased. Call it psychological, but $80 was seen as a key level. Below that, the cost equations for producers everywhere start to get scrambled, so keep a close eye on energy companies today.
Other key numbers: The low for the 10-year Treasury yield was 1.858% yesterday, and the low for the S&P 500 was 1820.66. With oil's barrier erased, it'll be interesting to see what happens with the others.

WIP. I'll make this more necromancier somehow...
June 28th, 2010 #16
Heres my take so far im thinking of making her like some kind of gothic schoolgirl but make her kind of cheery, kinda like she is the total opposite of most of her classmates, more ideas welcome!
No shot-great stuff man lol kinda went with the same idea you had totally didnt know you did that with the whole zombie carring books i was gana go with skeleton may tweak that some more so its not so much alike
Pacha-like the direction of this one very dynamic pose
DIMAGYAN- great stuff man, you could try maybe a backpack of some kind?
Rusty-great job last round man took my vote, but the idea your g\having is just awesome kinda had the same thoughts couldnt get harry potter characters out of my head
MasterTroglodyte-i kinda dig the far left one the most so far but great stuff man, probly to help the creepyness she could just be covered in like limbs and stuff
Arthur 'Two Sheds' -lol love it, zombie Einstein ftw, maybe could also show the cat as a zombie or undead something, just an idea, but great stuff

I don't usually do cartoony stuff but I just thought of a mischievous little girl as best student. She's in the Necro prinicipal's office being disciplined for...oh I don't know, setting zombie kittens lose int he cafeteria or something.

OK so here is the initial sketch. I'm hoping for some early crits as I want to really make the most of this one. I'm pretty sure the outfit is too sexy and not "student" enough yet, so I plan to play around with the clothing more. Also, the golem in the back is just a placeholder, not sure what he will end up looking like, but I might get rid of him and the chain if I see too many ppl going with that idea. Maybe a bat up on a perch? I'm also thinking of having her face show slight signs of decay as she is starting to get into more hardcore necro stuff in her studies, not sure yet. Much to do, let me know if it's any good at all up to this point, thanks!
June 28th, 2010 #21
artiphats I like your character's style, etc. but I feel as though the pose and facial expression of the character is lacking something; of course, it's difficult this early in your piece to say much, but I feel as though she's still devoid of a personality. I'd also try to play with the placement of her monster and attempt a more dynamic layout. Otherwise, I'm pumped to see what you come up with!

well heres an update decided to scrap original pose pretty much stayed with the same design but here is were i think im going with this one
artiphats- hey man great start but yea i agree with the outfit needs more of a "student" touch, and i also agree with master try and shoot for a more dynamic pose/expression, but in all keep at it man!
rgeorge- love it! maybe you could add a few of the zombie cats running around

I have a good mind of starting a petition to forbid interesting ChOW topics to be chosen during exam season. Seriously.
All though, that would mean there would be no more ChOW at all... *head scratch*
One other thing - I don`t think I`ll ever get over the line quality Arthur and Dymagian are showcasing here. You do Voodoo people. Admit it! And Pixeltuner, I was just wondering if that bag was for sale somewhere? I sure could use that kind of spell for my pant pockets...*idea!*
Mah usual pile`o`crap. If you would excuse me now, I have to go hunt for references. I can haz sucky anatomy!
EDIT: calling it done for...today. Or am I?
EDIT of the edit - Working some more. why do faces look great up close, but craptastic from the "far"? Such a conundrum...:/
EDIT of an edited edit - I hate legs. Noses as well. Next up - nip/tucking and getting OCD on details. Fun! -_-
EDIT of an edit of an...aaah, whatever - To color or not to color? Pro - possible "pop" effect on the image, better atmosphere. Cons - I`m bad at color, so I`ll likely mess it up. Also, b/w seems to be appropriate for this subject. Must trust own instincts and let go, I reckon. Si non confectus, non reficiat

PORTLAND Expect spotty showers with a chance of hail overnight Sunday. While some rain is expected Monday night, dry and cloudy conditions should prevail throughout most of the week, according to KGW Meteorologist Rod Hill.
Monday will be dry with a chance of evening showers, Hill said. He expected skies to stay mostly dry and partially cloudy through to Thursday.
Friday set the all-time daily rainfall record for the month of March, with 1.69 inches at Portland airport.
As of Sunday, the metro area saw 7.16 inches of rainfall, far short of the March rainfall record of 7.89 inches set back in 2012.
WeatherLive RadarWeather Cameras
The weather downed trees across the metro area Saturday including one in Gladstone that caught fire when it hit a strand of powerlines.
Area rivers were expected to remain below flood levels, even though the Willamette River might swell 9 inches by Monday. Smaller streams, like Fanno Creek, saw minor flooding.

33 year old man | Reston, VA, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 20 miles
Look at this uncompromisingly handsome gentleman.
Welcome to my profile! Please, make yourself comfortable. There are free pastries and coffee on the table if you're interested, otherwise you can hang out on the couch and I'll tell you a bit about myself. Well, I've made a decent living for myself working 9-5 jobs for the past ten years or so, while also enjoying my many hobbies such as music writing and tinkering around with computers. I've been in various bands throughout the years, but I'm currently flying solo at the moment. Last year I decided that while I was doing pretty well supporting myself, I could be doing a whole lot better and I'd certainly need more money in the future (that maturity kicking in again), so I decided to make some sacrifices and return to school. So, I'm currently working part time and attending school full time, aiming to get my BS in business administration. It makes my life pretty busy, but I know the time and effort will be well worth it in a couple years. As for my personality, I'm quite a laid back person, but often surprise people when I stand up for something I disagree with (which I will certainly do, I regret nothing more than not standing up for one's beliefs). I have a pretty silly sense of humor that can be a bit offensive at times, but we're all adults, aren't we? Luckily, I'm more than able to keep it tame when need be. I enjoy quite a variety of music, everything from the Chemical Brothers to Philip Glass, and I love writing and producing in my free time. I've spent a lot of time over the past ten years writing and producing music, and my goal is to one day run my own commercial music studio, hence the business administration degree. Everyone always lists the good things about them, so I'll go ahead and list some bad as well, just to be fair: 1) I'm balding a bit, as shown in the picture of me with no hat on. I see it as genetic revenge for making fun of my dad being bald while growing up. 2) I like to sleep in on the weekends. I get up early on the weekdays, so I think I've earned it. I have no problem getting up before noon if there's something to do, but otherwise... 3) I hate camping. I've been camping a number of times, so this hatred does come from experience. If you love camping, then you're going to have to do a bit of convincing on me. 4) I have three cats, which makes me some sort of creepy cat lady-man. What can I say, I was young and kittens are adorable. I haven't gotten any more pets in the last ten years, though, so I've learned my lesson (although, they're pretty good cats and I love 'em). As for what I'm looking for: This one is hard to say. I've learned first hand that opposites do attract, yet it's always good to at least have some things in common. I see Match.com as sort of the Land of Misfit Toys, so I'm not going to be too picky, I'm just excited to have fun and meet some new people. I'd rather get to know someone individually and then see if there's any chemistry, rather than writing out a checklist of my woman demands. I guess if you've got a good sense of humor, an appreciation for music, are semi-in shape, and can put up with a 31 year old college student for a couple years, I'd like to talk to you!

I'm a big fan of all sorts of music, I don't think there's a genre that I couldn't find at least a couple of good songs in.
I like to write music, hang out with friends, watch movies, play some video games, maybe do a little video editing here and there.
Lots of text books.
