"Regarding epoxy v. polyester resin systems, there is just no longer any room for debate on the subject. Poly resins are 1960's technology."
"Just as the introduction of polyester fiberglass laminates replaced wood yacht construction in the early 1960's, (builder's name) new epoxy laminate now makes those earlier lamination techniques obsolete."
"In 1962, Owens-Corning Fiberglass and the U.S. Coast Guard tested panels cut from three boats that had been in service 10 years. In 1972, more extensive tests were performed on a larger population of samples taken from CG Hull 40503, which was being retired after 20 years in service. It should be noted that service included duty in an extremely polluted ship channel where contact with sulfuric acid was constant and exposure to extreme temperatures during one fire fighting episode. Total operating hours for the vessel was 11,654. Visual examination of sliced specimens indicated that water or other chemical reactants had not entered the laminate. The comparative physical test data is presented in Table 4-5."

The History of the Human Race by Christine Kenneally
Kenneally, an award-winning journalist offers here a deeply researched and multi-faceted perspective on the search for our historic and genetic heritage, a preoccupation enjoyed by many, especially because of the ability of modern science to push back layers of time to trace where we've come from and who we are.
In the process of tracing the scientific methods developed for this purpose, Kenneally reveals some of the pitfalls we may encounter when we unearth what's been lost for generations and what good and bad usage can be made of this information. The discussions about the possibilities of misuse are poignant in that the history of genealogy is filled with such examples. Even though a proponent of genealogical research, the author suggests careful consideration before sharing personal information in this,"the age of information." Besides this caveat the author asks and answers many questions about culture, prejudice, "race," secrets of our past, and even what part Neanderthal DNA may play in our genetic makeup.
It turns out man's legacy exists on many levels from historical artifacts to our DNA, our names, and even our emotions and belief systems. We carry the traces of forces that molded the earth, the migrations of people, and the encounters we have made along the way. And all of these forces have shaped every human who lives now or ever lived in the past. How can we not want to know more; to try to discover who we are is after all uniquely human.
Kenneally writes in a way easy to understand and follow and her fascination with these topics comes through loud and clear. If you are an arm chair genealogist, professional family researcher, historian, or lover of science, there is much to delight and enlighten you. Guaranteed you will not be bored!

Editor's note: As part of our partnership with PBS's Nightly Business Report, TheStreet's Debra Borchardt will appear on NBR Monday (check local listings) to explain why cosmetics stocks are looking attractive.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The economy may be recovering slowly, but women are still spending money on cosmetics and rising sales mean rising stock prices.
Even during the recession, the U.S. cosmetic business generated more than $13 billion in revenue last year according to Ibis World Reports. This is also supported by the Brand Keys "Loyalty Leaders" report that found that consumers stick with their favorite cosmetic brands even in a bad economy. As the economy continues to rebound, cosmetic shopping is expected to continue to pick up. IBIS expects the industry revenue to grow at an average rate of 4% to over $15 billion.
Plus, the recession has been harder on men than women. Two thirds of the jobs lost belonged to men, with women becoming the breadwinners of the family. Call it the "man-cession." Economists also predict that by 2024, the average woman will make more money than the average man. But even as men have lost jobs, male cosmetic products have tripled in sales over the last decade. This demand for male beauty products has become a new area of growth for manufacturers and retailers.
Based on government retail sales data, sales for health and personal care stores were up 5% year-over-year in October. Several of the cosmetic stocks have already rebounded from financial-crisis lows, but are poised to continue moving higher. Commodity costs have not affected the companies dramatically and international sales continue to deliver huge growth. Other than Avon (AVP - Get Report), the premier cosmetic stocks have amazing performance returns for the past six months and that should continue as the recovery gains traction.

The White House sent a lengthy list of nominations on Monday to the Senate for approval – a list that included a handful of Ohioans.
Among those on the list were Peter C. Tobin, who the White House re-nominated as U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio.
The White House nominated Tobin in August 2013, but it stalled in the Senate.
Tobin was previously superintendent of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation from 2009 to 2011. He also has served as the chief of police for the Powell Police Department and later for the London Police Department. He also served in various positions in the Columbus Division of Police.
The White House also announced:
The reappointment of Father Joseph Pius Pietrzyk of Zanesville to be a member of the Board of Directors for the Legal Services Corporation. Pietrzyk has served as a parish priest in Zanesville and is currently studying at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
The nomination of Kathryn D. Sullivan to serve as undersecretary of vommerce for oceans and atmosphere. Sullivan is a former director of the Battelle Center for Mathematics and Science Education Policy in the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at Ohio State University and also spent a decade as president and CEO of the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) in Columbus. She's currently acting director of the agency that she seeks to head.

Dogs Instinctively Know Who Is Friendlier
Do dogs really know what humans are thinking? According to Monique Udell and her team of researchers from the University of Florida, how a dog responds to a person's attentiveness to them reveals how dogs think and learn about human behavior.
Recent studies have shown how dogs have a remarkable range of human-like social behaviors, which include their ability to respond to human body language, verbal comments and to our attentional states.
Dr. Udell's team carried out two experiments involving domesticated dogs, shelter dogs and their relative, the wolf. The animals were given the opportunity to beg for food either from an attentive person or from a person who ignored the animal.
The researchers wanted to know if the rearing and living environment of the animal "" either sheltered or with a home "" or the species itself "" dog or wolf "" had the greater impact on how the animal performs when given the opportunity to beg for food.
For the first time, the researchers showed that wolves, like domestic dogs, are capable of begging successfully for food by approaching the attentive human.
The results suggest that both species "" domesticated a non-domesticated "" have the capacity to behave in accordance with a human's attentional state.
In addition, the study showed that both species, with practice, were able to improve their ability to beg effectively.
Therefore, dogs from a home environment did better at the task of begging for food than dogs from a shelter. Those dogs with less regular exposure to humans performed badly on the begging task.
"The results suggest that dogs' ability to follow human actions stems from a willingness to accept humans as social companions, combined with conditioning to follow the limbs and actions of humans to acquire reinforcement," researchers say.
"The type of attentional cues, the context in which the command is presented, and previous experience are all important."
The research is published online in the Springer journal Learning & Behavior.

On December 22, 1999, Lieutenant Nocenzu Cusumano, a New York City firefighter, reported to work at the city's recently renovated Staten Island training center. He slipped on stairway debris and fell 16 feet down to a concrete floor. He reached out for a handrail or banister but none was there as the renovation was illegal and violated the building code...
...In the ensuing lawsuit, Cusumano v. City of New York, a Queens County jury awarded plaintiff pain and suffering damages in the sum of $1,700,000 ($1,200,000 past, $500,000 future)....
...The defendant appealed, claiming that $1,700,000 was excessive and the appellate court agreed as to the past pain and suffering verdict....
...So, on what basis did the appeals court conclude that $455,000 should be deducted from the jury verdict for past pain and suffering?...

Astrophysics Visual Analytics
Astrophysics lends itself to a visual analytics approach to data exploration due to the inherently visual nature of much astronomical data (including images and spectra). One of the grand challenges in astrophysics today is the effort to comprehend the mysterious "dark energy," which accounts for three-quarters of the matter/energy budget of the universe. The existence of dark energy may well require the development of new theories of physics and cosmology. Dark energy acts to accelerate the expansion of the universe (as opposed to gravity, which acts to decelerate the expansion). Our current understanding of dark energy comes primarily from the study of supernovae.
The Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) is an international astrophysics experiment designed to discover and measure Type Ia supernovae in greater number and detail than has ever been done before. It is the largest data volume supernova search currently in operation. Type Ia supernovae are stellar explosions that have a consistent maximum brightness, allowing them to be used as "standard candles" to measure distances to other galaxies and to trace the rate of expansion of the universe and how dark energy affects the structure of the cosmos. The SNfactory receives 50-80 GB of image data per night, which must be processed and examined by teams of domain experts within 12-24 hours to obtain maximum scientific benefit from the study of these rare and short-lived stellar events.

Zimmerman not guilty

What is with this jury? Sure you can say Trayvon was acting suspicious wearing a hooded sweatshirt in Florida when the temperature was around 90 degrees and sure maybe he was looking in peoples windows and was known to be a thief. But what about the wanna be cop who shot him and claims 'I was just trying to protect myself and the neighborhood.' I don't believe this was race motivated but rather media driven.
#2 Jul 14, 2013
Yea! Victory for the white guys
#3 Jul 14, 2013
You obviously didn't follow this trial very closely at all. The State had ZERO evidence and the witnesses they put on the stand dd more to help the defense than to help their own cause (Jenteal said that Trayvon went back and confronted Zimmerman). And the Defense attorney did a fine job of showing that the state had a weak case.
In the end justice was served and the system worked. Too bad a young man is dead but sometimes it's justified.
#4 Jul 14, 2013
Who's the white guy? Certainly you don't mean George Zimmerman who despite his Caucasian sounding last name is Hispanic, identifies as Hispanic, and is not, in fact, white colored?
You prove yourself to be a blithering idiot day in and day out on these boards, but do try to keep up in this instance.
#5 Jul 14, 2013
This case is indeed about race. If the dead child was white here would be no prosecution. Politically correct tral.

At the defense attorneys' post trial news conference, O'Mara zinged the press. His answer to the last question was : "George Zimmerman was picked on by two entities. One was the legal system, that should not have tried him in the first place. AND two - you, the media that convicted him before the trial. The media ran over him." (or words to that effect) You could tell the disdain O'Mara had for the media's handling of this case. Also, you could hear a pin drop after he gave the media his opinion, and walked away. His response was outstanding!!!!! He really let the media have it and it was all well-deserved.
Kudos to the defense.

I agree, there was no racist motive here, both were minorities and even though the media hyped up the incident to be racist it just isn't so.
The defense did an outstanding job when the forensic pathologist provided details that Zimmerman was on the bottom due to the shot being at point blank and not standing feet away when he took the shot.
The prosecution screwed themselves by demonstrating with a dummy that he could have not reached for his gun. If that was a real person under the attacker, don't worry that gun would have attained and used as Zimmerman did.
Zimmerman will always be looked at by some people as a killer but in this case he wasn't scared or nervous and did not plea guilty because he knew he was innocent. He also did not have a "dream team" of attorneys and loads of money to win his case.
The problem was mainly the media and the public who always wants to see a guilty verdict even for those are TRULY innocent. This is part of human nature because when someone dies for any reason there is always anger from the victims family.
Zimmerman did not let that bother him and he knew not to plea out even if it meant that he could have been found guilty and with a longer sentence. That is what a true innocent person does and should do.

The good Rev was making the rounds this morning on the news talk shows. He was all up in arms over the unjustice that was served. Just like he was back when OJ was found not guilty for killing those 2 white people.
He's a fraud and does nothing but trade onthe race card. He's made a very lucrative career out of it even if he doesn't pay his taxes.
#12 Jul 14, 2013
finally someone that knows what there talking about.
#13 Jul 15, 2013
The defense actually said, Travon MArtin was armed with, wait for it, a sidewalk as a weapon!
Just because the stalked got the better of the stalker, this is supposed to justify the fact that he was shot, point blank without a weapon!
It's an injustice all right, no matter how you slice it, Zimmerman was told not to pursue, he did anyway, the one he was pursuing got the better of him, so he shot him.
He will be found guilty in the civil case, same as OJ!

You really should spend a few hours and read hte court transcripts. You'd see how Zimmerman did stop and start to return to his vehicle. You'd see how he didn't stalk. But you keep on staying ignorant, the world shouldn't expect anything more from you.

gret poins,letsts ask Pauline weizer from FSU how he thinks?
#16 Jul 15, 2013
Umm, because this was a self defense case and NOT stand your ground Zimmerman is immune from any and all civil action. In actuality, he should turn around and sue the Martin family for violating his civil rights. He's got a pretty solid case against NBC right now for doctorog the 911 tapes, hopefully he'll get a windfall there. The prosecution/state of FL should get sued sideways for this farce of a court case as well.

All I need to know is that you have spent zero time reading the court transcripts. If you had you'd see the fallacy in what you posted. Don't lash out at me because you're too slow or lazy to do a little research to support your point or disprove a statement.
As far as FL being the worst state, it's certainly up there but not because of this trial or the verdict.

Trayvon loosing his life is tragic; unfortunately yes he made a mistake when he decided to attack. He should have went to a store, he should have went home and/or he should have called the police.
I believe that it is his age which is riling everyone up. For his friend who testified, she doesn't think that "cracker" is a racial word. Well someone needs to tell her that yes it is!
I would have asked her if she would label anyone other than a white person a cracker? Chinese? Hispanic? Black?
Her use or anyones use is racially motivated. We need to have the conversation honestly.
When I grew up we had public service directions. Such as if a stranger is following you what to do....
The media played up on sensationalizing the story. No one knew it was rainy and dark till after the trial. The media kept playing on the sympathy by showing only Trayvon at 12 yrs old.
The media played clip by clip by clip to disprove Zimmermans injuries. Now in court they show Zimmerman busted up in the front and the back of the head!
One thing is you can not use self defense if you are being followed. You can be followed and called names and you cannot physically strike back. As the law is clear; "words alone are not mitigating circumstances for self defense."
I cannot see Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch minority to use racial slurs when calling 911; after all an African American could be answering the phone and or be the responding officer.
I am nota fan of this nations gun laws as I believe we need to have strict laws for those who carry guns! You should have to sign that you are never to follow anyone while carrying a gun!
People become more brave when carrying a gun. And they become more forward because they are sure that they are not going to die because they have ultimate power in the end.
I do not think that Zimmerman should be held accountable for Florida or federal gun law flaws and inadequacies.
I do not believe that Zimmerman is a racist. I do believe that Trayvons friend is racist as she points to race as a factor in everything. When she uses the word "cracker" she is using it to describe race ONLY. It is race motivated. Many white people take it as funny but some take offense.
President Obama made a mistake in making a statement as an investigation was ongoing as everyone listens to the president. But on the other hand he should begin the conversation on race that this country needs to have. But then people must also state to him that most of the murderors in Chicago look like his son if he were to have a son.
When a conversation takes place both sides have to be heard! When I lived in Boston I took an offense to the "stop black on black crime" parades and neighborhood rallies. In my mind it should be "stop the violence". You cannot have it both ways! On one statement some people want race to be the issue but then on the other end they also want race to be an issue. Such statements are relaying to me that you are saying that yes you want to be different. isolated and/or separated.
Trayvon made a fatal mistake when he decided to attack instead of going home. Yes Zimmerman was following but this is not a violent means.

Waste Not, Want Not
United Kingdom
07 Feb 13
Can you imagine the immorality of throwing food you've just bought into the trash? Just thinking about it seems paradoxical, but that's what happens, far too often, in the rich West.
In January, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London published a fascinating report on food waste, entitled Global Food: Waste Not, Want Not, which looked at the situation in both rich and developing countries. For example, the report has calculated that household waste in the United Kingdom alone amounts to 7 million tons of food every year, worth £10.2 billion. On average, all this discarded food costs every family £480 annually, which over the course of a lifetime means a waste of between £15,000 and £24,000.
The report is most critical of the richest countries, where waste is greater and also more easily avoidable. The main problems the report highlights are the same as those given in many similar studies, and include impossible-to-finish super-sized portions, "all-you-can-eat" offers, the supermarkets' refusal to sell slightly crooked carrots or blemished apples and consumers' confusion between best-before and expiry dates.
Additionally, the report makes the point that this waste of food translates into a waste of water, land and energy. According to the researchers, if those 7 million tons of food were not wasted in the United Kingdom, the saving of the energy consumed to produce, package and transport it would be the same as removing 20% of cars from the country's streets.
But as well as drawing attention to the waste correlated to the food we throw out, the report also shows that if we adopted a series of virtuous behaviors at an individual and collective level, and adopted appropriate solutions on a case-by-case basis, we would be able to provide 60 to 100% more food, while also freeing up water, land and energy. Slow Food believes we should be taking advantage of this opportunity, and is closely following the issue at a European level. Specifically, the international organization is participating in a work group on food waste coordinated by DG SANCO, which will meet for the second time on February 8 in Brussels.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
In this article
Prevention continued...
Preventive medication (rifampin, Rifadin) should be given to all household contacts of a child who has been exposed to H influenza and who:
- Is under age 4 years and has not received all the Hib vaccinations
- Is under 12 months and has not finished the first series of Hib vaccine
- Has a weakened immune system.
This is to make sure that both the person with the illness and the rest of the household have the bacteria completely eradicated from their bodies. This prevents formation of a "carrier state" in which a person has the bacteria in the body but is not actively sick. Carriers can still spread the infection to other family members.
A person with epiglottitis can recover very well with a good prognosis if the condition is caught early and treated in time. In fact, a good majority of people with epiglottitis do well and recover without problems. But if the person was not brought to the hospital early and was not appropriately diagnosed and treated, the prognosis may range from poor with prolonged physical handicap to death.
- Before 1973, 32% of adults with epiglottitis died from the disease. With current vaccination programs along with earlier recognition and treatment, the overall death rate from epiglottitis is estimated to be less than 1%. The death rate from epiglottitis in adults is higher than that of children because the condition can be misdiagnosed since other diseases can look much like epiglottitis.
- Epiglottitis can also occur with other infections in adults, such as pneumonia. Most commonly, it is misdiagnosed as a strep throat. However, if it is suspected and treated appropriately, full recovery can be anticipated. Most of the deaths come from failure to diagnose it in a timely fashion and obstruction of the airway. As with any serious infection, bacteria may enter the blood, a condition called bacteremia, which may result in infections in other systems and sepsis (severe infection with shock, often with respiratory failure).

text: The [Devil Reborn] wiki last edited by Owie on 04/09/13 12:29PM View full history The beginning of a new arc, God and the Devil. The world is still in a post-apocalyptic state, although somewhat more civilized than in the incubation years of the previous arc. The U.S. is divided into various Systems (states) on the West Coast. The Church is one of the most powerful forces in the country, and is headed by Pope Innocent XLII. C.O.P., the Confederacy of Police, is another great power. The idea of Grendel is spread throughout the culture, but there have been no individual Grendels for years. It is the year 2512. The comic uses animals as a metaphor throughout the arc. In this issue, a bird tries to feed its babies a burst balloon, but they die from eating it. Pope Innocent XLII is completely corrupt. He is building Vatican Ouest, or the Tower, to enormous heights for mysterious reasons, and needs huge amounts of money to do so. The people flock to his proclamations and do whatever he says. Orion Assante is a rich aristocrat determined to improve society, starting with the Church. He gets Sherri Caniff, the head of his System, to help him start an investigative committee under the power of the Board, the inter-System governing body of the country. He gets advice from his wise and thoughtful sisters, Cesti and Neki. He also works with a group called the Deva Princes that are also dedicated to removing corruption. However, they disagree about how to do so; some of the Princes want to simply kill the Pope. Orion wants to get rid of him legally. Orion confronts Innocent, telling him he is starting his investigation. The Pope does not take it lightly. They begin a long-term antagonistic relationship. The Pope gives a major sermon and fundraiser, bringing in tons of money. It is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a new Grendel, who breaks into the church and lands on the enormous money plate.

Vienna's opulent Schoenbrunn Palace offers flat to tourists at princely price, horse-drawn carriage optional
Published on Mar 27, 2014 3:21 PM
VIENNA (Reuters) - Vienna's opulent Schoenbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the imperial Habsburg family, will open its doors to tourists looking to spend the night like Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Sisi.
An apartment - once reserved for close relatives of the court - can be booked from April 30 at a starting price of 699 euros (S$1,220) per person per night.
The two-bedroom flat with kitchen and dining room sleeps four. Those looking to experience full imperial grandeur - and who have the cash to spare - can reserve such amenities as a personal butler, a horse-drawn carriage and an in-suite chef.
The late 17th-century rococo palace was once the secondary residence of the Habsburg monarchy, which ruled the Austro-Hungarian empire until 1918.

Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 11/4/14
In the midst of a train wreck season, the 3-6 New York Jets are proving what basically everyone was saying when they traded for Tim Tebow in the offseason - it will become a distraction. And that big distraction reared it's ugly head again this week with anonymous players criticizing Tebow. GM Mike Tannenbuam is the guy that pulled the trigger on the trade, and just as Rex Ryan is responsible for the players on the field, Tannenbaum is responsible for choosing those players who are on the field. He was a guest on WFAN in New York: "I look at Tim as a great teammate, a competitor," Tannenbaum said. "He's done a lot of great things for us. You see him on the practice field working hard. . . . From a production standpoint it hasn't been necessarily where we thought it'd be, but he has converted first downs." On Jets players calling Tebow "terrible": "I hated that; I was disappointed to see it." Tannenbaum doesn't see what's going right now as a sign that his days are numbered in New York, claimign it's the last thing on his mind. "I'm not worried about me right now. I'm the last thing I'm worried about — I'm worried about this team and anything I can do to help," he said. "I feel like we're going to turn it around." At 3-6, a big turnaround seems unlikely in the Jets' current state. We think it's very possible that the Rex and Mike show might be in it's final season, but unlike some popular TV show, we're not going to see some spectacular final episode. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Discography compiled by Phil Go, Band History adapted from the Dead Ends Website
Dead Ends was formed in early 1985 by Al Dimalanta on guitar and his brother Jay on bass. Completing the lineup was drummer Rouen Pascual. Later that year, the band released their first album, Complaints, on the Philippines' premier underground punk label Twisted Red Cross. The title track was also included on Twisted Red Cross' Brave New World Live! compilation tape.
The band's second album, titled Second Coming, was released in 1986. The next year, Dead Ends recruited drummer Harley Alarcon, and with him recorded their third album, Damned Nation. However, by the end of the 1980's, the declining state of the local punk scene prompted the band's split. Al continued with his work as a high school English and Journalism teacher. Jay continued his studies while doing session work in a number of short-lived bands.
The brothers Dimalanta reformed Dead Ends in 1994 with guitarist Lourd de Veyra and drummer Bong Montojo, and the band headed off in a thrash-metal direction. Their fourth and final album, Mamatay sa Ingay, was released in 1995. All the lyrics were sung in Tagalog (the native language of the Philippines), and several songs ended up on local independent music charts (and one was included on a compilation album called L.A. Rock, the Album).
Sadly, Jay Dimalanta passed away in his sleep on November 25, 1996, officially signalling the demise of Dead Ends. Al and Lourd continued on, forming a new band called Throw with Lourd's brother, Francis, on bass.

It was dubbed by Sentai Filmworks who's dubs are mostly terrible. On top of that No. 6 has Greg Ayres, possibly one of the worst voice actors in existence, voicing one of the lead characters (Although I admit he was good in Beck). So it's more of a curse than a blessing. I'm still pissed off that they screwed up Penguindrum.If No. 6 can get a dub, then every other anime in existence deserves a dub.
I can't even comprehend how someone could get off to dubbed hentai. But it'd probably still be better than thisSpeaking of dubs, I thought of one other dub I'd watch. Now, I've already said many times I'd love a show dubbed entirely by Crispin Freeman, I now have a second to to that list. I'd totally watch a dub if they went and grabbed the dub cast of any random hentai.

2008 BEST Breakfast, North
Sugar Magnolia's
Bacon fans and omelet groupies, take a knee: This one's for Pancake Nation. A Main Street storefront café that's more about warmth than polish, Sugar Magnolia's flips buttermilk and blueberry flapjacks as big as Paul Bunyan's mittens and just as thick. But it's the moist, delicately spicy carrot cake version—aided by a genius three-in-one spread of maple syrup, cream cheese, and butter—that verges on the stuff of legend. (Those who absolutely have to get their protein fix won't feel left out: Sugar Magnolia's has a worthy roster of egg-, meat-, and fish-based breakfasts, too.)

15 of the most unnecessary sequels ever made
Some movies leave fans hungry for more, with films like "The Godfather," "Star Wars," "Lethal Weapon" and "The Bourne Identity" being ideal for sequelization. Filmic follow-ups can build on the original narrative, tell another side of the story, or just deliver more laughs, chills and thrills with your favorite characters. Many times, however, sequels just try to squeeze a few more bucks out of the initial audience, even if the product's sell-by date has already expired, the original stars don't want to return or the first film just didn't seem to warrant another chapter. Hollywood has a depressingly long track record of truly unnecessary sequels.
The weekend brings us Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Chris Rock in "Grown Ups 2," and we thought it was the perfect time to take a look at 15 of the least necessary sequels ever made.
Check out our picks below. Do you agree with our choices? What did we forget?

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) A portion of multi-unit storage building north of Pierre received extensive damage in a fire that broke out last night. Pierre Rural Fire Chief Jason Roggow says the blaze occurred in the 11-unit storage facility on Shoreline Street-just off Highway 1804 east of Spring Creek Marina. The 120 X 30 foot building was reported to be burning about 8:45 p.m. last night. On arrival, Roggow says firefighters found the southern half of the building fully engulfed in flames and the fire had burned through the roof of the structure. Roggow says five of the units on the southern side of the structure were completely burned. They held contents, ranging from boats, to jet skis, motorcycles, artwork, tools and fishing equipment. Roggow says further away from the fire, three of the units had extensive damage and the northern three may have received water damage. A total damage amount from the fire has yet to be determined and Roggow says the State Fire Marshal's Office was at the scene of the blaze this morning to investigate its cause. Several area fire departments provided mutual aid at the fire, including the Pierre Rescue Squad, Fort Pierre Fire Department and Onida Fire Department. Roggow says he also requested that law enforcement assist with traffic control near the burning building-and units from the Highway Patrol and Hughes and Stanley County Sheriff's Departments responded. Roggow says firefighters were able to leave the scene after midnight, but one Pierre Rural unit stayed at the scene all night until investigators could come to check the site this morning. No other nearby structures were threatened in the Thursday night fire.

CONTENT

CONTENT
 . . .

On a link click, the jQuery takes the #all-content wrapper and shifts it left or right depending on which link is clicked. However, the client doesn't like that when making larger jumps between pages, the content moves super fast and is almost dizzying as it scrolls by. I want a way to hide/show the content in this sliding manner without having to scroll past every page…
I've thought about adding "display: hidden" to all but the active wrapper and then using jQuery to set display: block to the target content, shift the box left or right, and then hide the previously active content. Is there any clean way to achieve something like this? I haven't actually coded it yet, but I'd imagine setting the display from hidden to block would push things around and mess up the "left" attribute.
Any help would be appreciated!
ps. I have wave invites if anyone needs one!
Try the codaslider plugin (google it). I believe with that you can set the speeds and such.
Good luck.
I looked at coda slider, but unfortunately it simply does what I wrote… The client doesn't like that sliding between pages goes over all the pages. They want, regardless of which page your skipping to, for the content to just slide into view without sliding over all the other content.

Christian Hackenberg is the best passer in the Big Ten. Now with Braxton Miller out for the season, Christian Hackenberg is now the best quarterback in the conference.
Sure, he doesn't have Bill O'Brien and Allen Robinson to work with this year, but he's also a year more developed and mature. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the new system under James Franklin; which incorporate the tight ends in the passing game to a more significant role.
Here to predict and project the 2014 season for Penn State and Hackenberg is Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler.Follow paulmbanks

Britain's twin girls, 16, feared to have gone to Syria
Published on Jul 10, 2014 12:39 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Two 16-year-old twin girls from a Somalian family in Britain have disappeared from their family home and are feared to have travelled to Syria, counter-terror police said on Wednesday.
Salma and Zahra Halane vanished from the family home in Manchester, north-west England, two weeks ago. They flew to Turkey and are thought to have crossed the border into war-torn Syria.
It is understood an older brother has joined the extremist militant group Islamic State, and one line of inquiry is that the girls may have travelled to join him.
The Muslim youngsters, said to be deeply religious, have ignored their family's pleas for them to return home and told them they have no intention of coming back.

Susan Yazdanmehr, MD
Phone: 630-789-8128
Degree Level/Concentration: Doctoral degree in Medicine (MD)
Professional Background:
Welcome to "Impact of Nutrition"; NUTR-100. It is my pleasure teaching this course. I look forward to learn about each one of you and your education/experiences. First, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Dr. Susan Yazdanmehr.
I am a physician with a strong passion to learn and to teach. I find
treating/healing individual patients rewarding; but nothing would compare to
prevention, in my opinion.
Practice of public health and active
contribution to reinforcement of preventive measures allow professionals to
improve quality of life for a larger population effectively and efficiently.
Having that point of view encouraged me to pursue Master of Public Health.
I became specifically interested in "Environmental Health" during my education
in Public Health.
Over years of education and work experience,
I am convinced that the science of Nutrition holds the key to good health
and prevention. Beside daily simple pleasure of delicious meals and snacks,
normal growth and development of children (physical, mental, and intellectual);
support of growth and health in adults; and cancer prevention are all closely
associated with a balanced nutrition.
I have a broad work experience; and I hope it would be beneficial to you as I share them over the course. I have experience in research in area of "sleep apnea"; patient educator in allergy and asthma (so related to our nutrition and environment!); general internship in medicine; family practice residency; teaching classroom lectures and on-line courses in Human Diseases, Environmental Health, Nutrition, and Biology of Women. I have also few years of experience in bedside teaching to medical students as part of medical internship and residency.

Except for my MCM subscription, I only go for specific issues of magazines or books relating to my research, and I can find almost all of it online at places like autolit.com, motolit.com or magsbackissues.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 09:33 AM
My LHS brings in a bunch of copies of MCM, SA and its quarterly bonus issues for us "subscribers" on his list. Its not quite a subscription per se as I end up paying full cover price each issue, but since he picks up all his stock in the US its cheaper in the long run. Plus I still support the magazines! I also head to Indigo every month and pick up Hot Rod, Classic Trucks, Custom Classic Trucks, Muscle Car Review, Mopar Action, Bronco Driver, Blue Oval Trucks (or something like that; same outfit as Bronco Driver I think), and the occasional issue of Vintage Truck. I really should subscribe to all of these as I would save a ton... but, hearing horror stories of copies getting mangled kinda puts me off.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:43 AM
Many model swap meets have an abundance of magazines available for a buck each.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:49 AM
I pick mine up at Hobby town. Always in pristine condition complete with that new magazine smell!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 04:09 PM
Haha... the all important new magazine smell.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 05:59 PM
Magazine sources pretty much in order of shopping priority
1. Mailbox - (3) Automotive (including Model Cars Magazine), (3) Art & Automotive Art.
2. Local Hobby Shop - when I do pick up that "rare" copy of the other model car magazine, occasional Slot Car Magazines.
3. Barnes & Noble - Rod & Custom Little Pages specials, occasional Roddder's Journal, Street Rodder Premium, Art Magazines
(hey what can I say, real car Auto Art is a sideline), occasionally Vintage Auto Racing has to have really interesting subject in it,
Mini Magazine and Mini World Magazine (both printed in UK, Classic Mini magazines when B & N have them in), rarely Fine Art
4. Grocery Store - Occasional Hot Rod Delux, very rare Hot Rod (Has to have something real special to me in it) Hot Rod Deluxe, best of's.
Bottom line the ones that I gotta have come to my mail box even though they are occasionally shredded by the postal maroons.
How about some sort of protective sleeve or sealed plastic bag to protect the magazine, are you listening Greg, please. I'd pay more
for it I like to keep my magazines in as pristine condition as possible, they are all stored in labled, sorted, banker's boxes. Did I mention
that I was a perfectionist...
I maintain an extensive library of Auto and Art magazines which to the best of my recolection I have never tossed one. I have
Rod & Custom and Hot Rod (when it was a cool magazine every month), a few Model Car Science and Car Model magazines
clear back to the late 50's and early 60's. (My collection was greatly added to when both Uncles downsized their places, they
know where to come find 'em! They are also the only ones I have ever allowed to borrow a magazine vintage or new.)

I just saw this article on Barnes & Noble closing about 1/3 of their stores, which may be the beginning of the end for them. Ironic that Gregg worked so hard to get them to carry MCM, and now this. One more reason to subscribe.
Posted 06 February 2013 - 07:03 AM
How about some sort of protective sleeve or sealed plastic bag to protect the magazine, are you listening Greg, please.
It's not Gregg's decision, it's the publisher's decision.
Posted 06 February 2013 - 07:14 AM
I get them (occasionally) for FREE after they are pulled from shelves for the new issues thanks to a cute little girl we know that works as an asst. Manager there.
Just have the upc barcode removed.
Posted 06 February 2013 - 04:50 PM
It's not Gregg's decision, it's the publisher's decision.
Harry, that's fine. If enough subscribers ask for better protection from the gorillas at the post office the publisher may listen and protect their product.
I have had to buy copies of magazines that the postal service rendered unreadable. I had a copy of Rod and Custom ripped nearly in half, no damage notice form the post office just shreaded magazine. To Rod & Custom's credit they did extend my subscription an extra month. I have also received a couple issues of my favorite model magazine with a torn cover and corners. I am certain that I'm not the only one.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread, now back to something completely different....
Posted 06 February 2013 - 05:19 PM
I just saw this article on Barnes & Noble closing about 1/3 of their stores, which may be the beginning of the end for them.
I always wondered how they survived with those huge stores. People go there, buy a coffee and read the books and magazines for free!
Posted 23 February 2013 - 05:29 AM
Was told by a B&N employee that the story was pure media hype, as they (B&N) were already closing the stores mentioned to build new ones.
Posted 23 February 2013 - 06:23 AM
MCM & SA at the LHS as they will hold them for me when they come in. FSM by mail. Various car mags on occasion if something piques my interest, either at the grocery store, drug store or book store.

Review By Clay Angelly - March 3, 2005
I employed all of the possible cooling combinations: fan type, blow or suck
air in relation to the XP-90, and, case oriented horizontally or vertically.
Thermalright utilizes heat pipe technology with the XP-90. So, I thought it
would be interesting to see if any of these various factors had a significant
impact or not. Due to all of the various testing scenarios I wasn't able to get
overclocked results in this review. I do plan on updating with overclocked
results in the coming weeks though.
NOTE: The results of my AMD Stock HSF cooling are present on every graph for
a base reference. Since the AMD reference cooler does not utilize heat pipes I
only tested it with the typical (fan blowing down, case oriented vertically).
Below, I'm only showing what will be the most common combination for most of
you. That is with the fan blowing down onto the XP-90 and with the case oriented
vertically. I've included links to the other 12 graphs (3 additional graphs per
graph shown below) for those interested. Or, you can download
this zip file (~1.7MB) containing all 16
graphs and a screenshot from the raw data.
I really like this particular Enermax fan because it moves an impressive
amount or air at a basically washed out noise level within the case. Clearly,
the Thermalright XP-90 has a dramatic impact on the CPU temperatures at both
idle and various load conditions.
Another metricwhile not directly applicable
in a real world scenariois to compare the overall average temperature. In
the tests above, that comes to a 56°C average temperature for the AMD Stock HSF and only
a 34°C average for the XP-90.
So, how much of this impressive cooling can be
attributed to the XP-90 and how much can be given to the fan? Let's find out.
Keep in mind that the lowest fan speed results above involve a
reduction of 1,000RPMs and 17CFMs versus the full speed setting. The greatest difference is that of only 4°C
(and only 2°C warmer on average).
This is all a pretty good indicator that the XP-90 shares the majority of the
accolades for the nice cooling job.
While the Sunon's CFM rating is apparently less than the Enermax at full
speed; it seems to
put out a more forceful stream of air than the Enermax. That seems to make a slight difference as
it never reaches anything higher than 35°C and is 1°C cooler on average

very modest cooling gains are something to consider.

being done by the Thermalright XP-90.
