Before I get on with the other jazz, I am opting to do the valving on my bike myself....again.
Heck, I'm also going to have a stab at the rear shock as well. I spent the day saturday cleaning & disassembling the forks, so I could get all the hard data on the valves & all the assorted info.
Here is what the stock stacks look like:
Base Valve Compression:
Mid Valve Rebound:
Mid Valve Compression:
It's funny how much the graphs and plots can tell you, and then see how different shim changes will affect things. Unfortunately I have 1 major problem. I know basically what I want the bike to feel like. I can't however just copy that bikes shim stacks, as the valves are completely different. The more I read on things, the more I feel like I have more questions. It sounds like Yamaha put the wrong length springs in the fork, which apparently keeps it a bit too low in the stroke, along with some cavitation issues related to the Inner Chamber floating portions. Go figure that they addressed these issues in 2006.
I hate admitting this, but I feel I really want this thing to feel plush how the 2012 KTM 200XC-W I rode felt. Granted, it wasn't good over 60mph (that's fine), and when I rode that same bike at Byron MX, it felt more harsh over the bumps at higher speed. Both things I completely expect for something that is valved for woods instead of MX or high speed 2-track.
I know right now that for MX, my bike is a little on the softer side of the valving, and I'd say that for woods it just needs that bit of slow speed to help keep from deflecting in the rocks\ruts and help keep the front end feeling a bit more planted.
I'm up for suggestions. I really shot myself in the foot & blew a 50% off deal that Pro-Action had just after black friday. Coulda had fork\shock done for 250$. I know I can do the changes myself, its just whether or not I'm doing the right changes....

Super Strength Show Interview – Ray Toulany & Jedd JohnsonTuesday, December 2nd, 2014
First off, a BIG THANKS to everyone who took action last week during the huge Black Friday Sale I ran.
If you don't know what I am referring to, then you need to put your best email address in the box below, because you are missing exclusive content that I send out ONLY to my email subscribers.
Today, I have something else that's very cool for you.
I was recently interviewed by Ray Toulany on the Super Strength Show => http://superstrengthshow.com/jeddjohnson
In my opinion, this show was one of the most professional I have ever been a part of.
I have gotten to know Ray very well over the last year, and it was my pleasure to be on the show.
You're gonna see that the shows that Ray conducts are quite different from the majority of them that are out there.
They don't just cover training information, but they talk about mindset, they talk about overcoming challenges, and they talk about what it truly takes to be successful.
I think you're gonna really like the show,so PLEASE take the time to LIKE and RATE the interview on iTunes.
Here's to spot to listen to the show on Ray's site: Super Strength Show – Ray interview Jedd
Or you can look it up on iTunes, if that is what you're used to doing.
Me, I don't even know how iTines works, and I used to actually do podcasts from time to time…
Have a great day and all the best in your training.

Back Safety Considerations for Multi-joint ExercisesThursday, October 23rd, 2014
In the Yoketober program, and in any good quality muscle building program, there is going to be plenty of multi-joint exercises, movements where there is movement across more than one joint.
And while these types of movements are very beneficial for build strength and muscle, they are also much more technical than other simpler, isolation-style movements. If you don't do these things correctly, not only will you not get the results you want, but you can also injure yourself.
Today, I have a couple of videos for you that can help you with your technique so you can maximize your training results and reduce and eliminate risk for back injury.
Check them out below:
Back Safety Considerations for Hip Hinge Movements
Back Safety Considerations for Bent Over Lifts
These videos are short, but if you apply these quick pointers to your training, you should be able to keep your back healthy and strong and that in turn will lead to more intense workouts and better results.
All the best in your training.

#Yoketober is Under Way – Workout 1 In the BooksThursday, October 2nd, 2014
Yoketober is in full swing.
This month, we are focusing on the Yoke – the Traps, Upper Back, Shoulders, and Triceps – the parts o fthe body that make up your outline and help you cast a big shadow.
The objective – To Develop Monster Mass by Halloween.
Yesterday was Yoketober 1st, so Workout #1 went down in the garage. It was my Upper Body Push Day, with Yoke work sprinkled in for seasoning.
#Yoketober Workout #1/31
In the past months of specialized training, #AugustOfArms and #Legtober, lots of people were requesting workout plans, but I didn't work ahead those months.
Yoketober is different. I put together an entire ebook that includes a full month of training for you from Yoketober 1st to Yoketober 31st.
You can pick it up here for $19 through the end of the week: Yoketober – Monster Mass by Halloween
It's time to fill that shirt up with some serious slabs of muscle.
All the best in your training.

Big Deadlift Milestone for JeddSaturday, September 20th, 2014
I hit a pretty big milestone for me this past week.
This is 455lbs for 5 sets of 2. I don't recall ever hitting 455 or more all in one set for more than 3 total reps.
Also, these were all Double Overhand. I want to see how far I can get just going DO. I've also heard some people say that they help out with their Grippers, so we'll see how it goes.
#Legtember is going great for me as far as strength is going up. I have been nothing but happy since starting it.
I actually had to miss a Deadlift session last month because I was so sore from 20-Rep Squats.
But during #Legtember, it has not happened, and I think my muscles have just been able to recover better because I am hitting some form of quad, hamstring or glute isolation exercise, plus I am doing mobility work and stretching.
I think the daily stuff is helping me recover and hit it harder by the next time I need to hit lower body.
As cool as #AugustOfArms and #Legtember have both been, the October promotion is going to be even more awesome.
Look for an announcement coming really soon.
All the best in your training.

20 Rep Squats for Building Massive MuscleThursday, September 11th, 2014
20 Rep Squats for Building Massive Muscle
Since August, I have been experimenting with 20 Rep Squats.
Performing 20 Rep Squats is a tactic that was made famous by many oldtime strongmen and other writers of yesterday.
The claim is that by performing 20-Rep Squats, you can put on substantial amounts of muscle mass.
Since that is one of my primary objectives right now, along with increasing full body strength, I decided to give 20-Rep Squats a try.
Now, from my understanding there are a couple of ways that 20 Rep Squats can be done. The method I am using is what was described to me by James Fuller, who actually is the one who made me consider doing these after all.
He suggests taking your 10-rep max weight in the Back Squat and performing 20 Reps with it. You rep out the first 10 Reps without rest, and then you finish with the last 10 Reps with any rest-pauses you need, but you absolutely do not set the bar down. It remains on your shoulders from the moment the set begins until you hit the 20-rep mark.
Other approaches exist. For instance, some teach rest-pausing as needed throughout the set. Others suggest taking as big of a breath as possible into the lungs before each repetition, in an effort to expand the rib cage as much as possible.
As far as expanding the rib cage, I have not researched that, but I will say that after my set of 20-Rep Squats, I do lie on a bench and perform chest stretches using the Dumbbell Pull-over movement.
Regarding MY 20-Rep Squat Sets
When you watch the videos below, take note that I am not using my 10-RM in any of them. There are a couple of reasons why…
1) I am always cautious of my back and I am siding toward being cautious. Nothing sucks more than being hurt and unable to train, especially when you know you could have prevented the injury by being cautious, so that is exactly what I am doing.
2) I do a great deal of Squatting BEFORE I do my 20-Rep Squat set. I pair Squatting with my gripper work and often do 8 to 10 work sets before my 20-Rep Squats, so I am already fatigued.
3) These 20-Rep Squats have essentially become my Squat finisher. These are the last thing I do before I move on to the next portion of my workout. My 10-RM is probably closer to 305 or 315.
Tom Platz Squats 500 for 23 Reps
Reading Sources for 20-Rep Squats:
I have not read these books
My 20-Rep Squat Workouts
20 Rep Squats: 225lbs – Aug 17
20 Rep Squats: 235lbs – Aug 26
20 Rep Squats: 255lbs – Sep 2
20 Rep Squats: 265lbs – Sep 10
I did 20-Rep Squats one time back in like 2004 and hated them. I got extremely sore and it interrupted a whole week of my training, so I said to hell with them.
This time however, I really wanted to see what they could bring me, so I have stuck with them.
I plan on gradually moving up in weight and will eventually be up over 300-lbs with them, I am just taking my time.
I welcome comments, especially from those who have followed the program, and I would love to hear about your results.
All the best in your training.

Parents whose children used computers in the eMINTS classrooms this school year say the experience has helped their reading, their motivation and their technology skills.
Skyline Elementary School third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students showed their parents year-long projects and conducted some demonstrations during a showcase this week.
The eMINTS (enhancing Missouriĺs Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies) program allows teachers to use technology daily in the class, where students share computers to work on projects. Students also learn to work together.
In Kathy Garrisonĺs fourthgrade classroom, Katy Wolfram, 10, looked for clip art of men to decorate a Power Point presentation about her father.
Her father, Bryan Wolfram, sat next to Katy, watching her assemble the presentation. ôThe stuff theyĺve learned, itĺs way more advanced than when we were kids,ö he said.
His daughter had learned things this year that he learned when he worked for the Air Force, he said. ôI think it just gives her that much more advantage,ö Wolfram said.
In Sonya Schnickerĺs thirdgrade classroom, the students used software to assemble graphic organizers of research questions.
The students had to research a topic, asking five questions and then finding the answers. Then they organized the questions and answers in a flow-chart design on the computers.
The third-grade students share laptop computers. In older grades, students share personal computers, with two students per computer.
Fifth-graders used the same graphic organizer software to work on presentations about books. They had to describe each characterĺs traits, using examples from the book, and give details about the plot, such as the escalating action and the climax.
Kirsten Finnell, 11, was showing her mom, Stephanie Finnell, the program in Tina Vansellĺs fifth-grade classroom.
ôShe knows more than I do,ö Stephanie Finnell said of her daughterĺs computer skills. Kirsten demonstrated her knowledge by asking her mom if sheĺd seen Google Earth, which was new to Stephanie Finnell.
ôHow do you not know what Google Earth is?ö Kirsten asked her mom incredulously.
ôI just donĺt,ö Stephanie Finnell said.
With a few clicks of the mouse and some typing, Kristen showed her mom how Google Earth can zoom into any location, including their home, using map and satellite photos.
ôI wish they could take (the computers) with them to middle school,ö said Stephanie Finnell.
Jackie Slackĺs daughter, Cheyenne Culbertson, 11, is in fifth-grade in Sara Nicholsĺ room. ôI think itĺs great,ö Slack said of her daughterĺs experience with the computers. ôSheĺs improved so much.ö
She said Cheyenne is reading better now than she did two years ago, and her confidence has improved as well. ôI think itĺs an excellent program for the kids.ö Slack has no computer at home, and said sheĺs glad her daughter can work with one so intensely at school. ôSheĺs way more motivated, and more outspoken,ö Slack said.

Some 29 miners were trapped on Thursday (local time) after
heavy rains provoked a landslide at the mine in the Bonanza
project, about 420km northeast of Managua, which was closed
about four years ago after being deemed unsafe.
Rescue teams will continue search efforts, after freeing two
miners on Thursday and another 20 on Friday, according to
Rosario Murillo Ortega, government spokesman and wife of
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.
"We are monitoring the situation, following up on all efforts
to find the five or seven companions," Murillo said.
Artisanal mining is legal in Nicaragua, the poorest country
in Latin America, where it is used as a way for more people
to profit from the industry.
Bonanza project mine had been severely affected by seasonal
rains in the past, with another landslide two months ago
killing two miners, according to Mineros S.A., the Colombian
parent company of Nicaraguan miner Hemco, which operates the
Informal miners continued to work at the mine against the
company's orders, according to Julio Quintero, head of Hemco.
Quintero said Hemco had continued to buy minerals from them
until last week, when it decided it could not be sure where
the product came from.
The Bonanza project, which began in 1995, produces around
37,300 troy ounces of gold a year, according to Hemco's

A Linux distro for the XP user?
A minor scandal erupted this month when a Google engineer exposed a serious security flaw in Windows XP. Microsoft cried foul, arguing that they didn't have enough warning before the announcement went public, and attackers quickly started using the exploit, with no clear indication when a patch would appear.

Detective says escaped prisoner is 'schizophrenic'
DALLAS A Florida detective who was stabbed near Dallas by a prisoner being transferred to Nevada told a 911 operator that the prisoner is "a schizophrenic."
Miami-Dade Det. Jaime Pardinas can be heard breathing heavily in a recording of the 911 call police released Wednesday.
He tells the operator he has been stabbed in the neck, describes Alberto Morales' height, weight and appearance and then adds, "He's a schizophrenic."
Morales escaped Monday after using a piece from his eyeglasses to stab Pardinas while they were stopped in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Grapevine, a community near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Authorities are still searching for Morales, a 42-year-old convicted sex offender.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Police said Wednesday that a Florida detective who was stabbed near Dallas by a prisoner who was being transferred to Nevada is in "delicate condition" but will recover.
Miami-Dade police said that 54-year-old Det. Jaime Pardinas is expected to survive, but it will take months for him to recover from stab wounds to his neck and back.
Authorities were searching the Dallas-Fort Worth area Wednesday for 42-year-old Alberto Morales, a convicted sex offender who escaped after the attack and who may still be wearing wrist shackles.
Police said Wednesday that Morales' former cell mates told investigators that he had vowed to never return to prison. Morales was so disruptive on Monday's flight into Houston that the Florida detectives decided to transport him by ground the rest of the way.
Police say Pardinas and Miami-Dade Det. David Carrero stopped near a Walmart in Grapevine, a Dallas suburb, while awaiting the arrival of a third officer who was flying in join them. Department policy requires there to be three officers present for ground transfers of prisoners.
While they were stopped, Morales broke off a piece from his eyeglasses and stabbed Pardinas once in the neck and three times in the back, police said. He then fled.
Police were taking Morales to Nevada, where he was to serve a sentence of 30 years to life for a conviction of sexual assault with a weapon. But the officers and Morales weren't allowed to get back on the plane during a layover in Houston because of the inmate's erratic behavior, authorities said.
During the first leg of the flight, Morales was "bumping his head against a passenger seat in front of him, so he was doing a lot of crazy, unusual things that just disrupted the entire flight," Miami-Dade Police Director J.D. Patterson Jr. said Tuesday.
Longtime Las Vegas defense attorney Marc Saggese, who represented Morales in a Nevada criminal case, said Tuesday that Morales claimed he suffered a severe brain injury when he was hit in the head with a baseball bat at age 17, and that he hears voices and has trouble controlling his impulses.
"He said that ever since that attack and subsequent surgeries he has been struggling with demons in his head," Saggese said.

His beat-craft is technically competent, but rote and mechanicalespecially compared to God's Stepson, which creatively customizes new tracks to fit Nas's lyrics. 9th Wonder's beats are pleasant if a little repetitive: a nuevo-school aesthetic of deftly stacked soul and jazz licks (imagine Nas remixed by a latter-day Pete Rock). Wonder's greatest achievement is his bonus remix of Stillmatic's "Ether," an apocalyptic revelation scored by heaven-born horns.
In contrast to the meticulousness of God's Stepson and Soulmatic, Hova's Son and Nastradoomus play for funsies. MF Doom raids his own bugged catalog of tracks while Lt. Dan pilfers Jay-Z'sso whatever they lack in laboriousness, they make up in entertainment value. Doom is a backpacker favorite, but his eccentric musical tastes actually lean populist. He favors sounds others would consider junk (syrupy '80s r&b, for example), so it's only fitting that he'd choose to redeem one of Nas's worst albums. Even Doom can't save droning, thuggish rubbish like "Come Get Me." But in "Life We Chose," his melancholy piano and sax loops polish the luster of one of Nas's more thoughtful songs. Doom throws crazy ideas at the wallsome stick, like the Persian vibe of "Some of Us Have Angels"; others miss, e.g., the dense tangle that swamps "Last Words."
MF Doom
9th Wonder
God's Stepson
Soul Supreme
The beauty of Lt. Dan's Hova's Son is how its sublime surprises play fantasy peacekeeper between Nas and Jay-Z. The overwrought martyrdom of "The Cross" switches from plodding to passionate when fit over the dramatic fury of Jigga's "U Don't Know," while the nursery rhyme charm of "I Can" syncs well with the playfulness of Jay-Z's 1997 "Who You Wit." The main misstep is the clashing bounce rhythms of "Heaven" set to "Big Pimpin'," but who'd think "Revolutionary Warfare" would sound so good over "H to the Izzo"? The blends Lt. Dan concocts are at once familiar yet unexpected, and that tension fuels the CD's appeal.
Keep in mind that all this redux fever is happening against a technological and cultural backdrop where everyone with a laptop and Pro Tools is churning out his own mash-up mix tapes. Now that this quartet of remixers have spurred the trend, their efforts only portend future projects as expansive as your imagination.

Scooter driver injured in Lloyd Expressway wreck
EVANSVILLE - A man riding a motor scooter on the Lloyd Expressway Friday morning was hospitalized after it was rear-ended by an car.
Febrick Hill, 34, did not appear to have been injured seriously, Evansville Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jason Cullum said. Hill was thrown from the scooter onto the windshield of the vehicle that struck him, Cullum added.
Chris Kirwen, 53, the driver of the Ford Taurus that struck the scooter, was not injured.
Witnesses told police Hill, who was westbound, was in the left lane of the Lloyd Expressway before it passes over Tekoppel Avenue when several cars went around him, likely because of his speed, Cullum said.
Cullum said when Kirwen approached, he couldn't see the scooter because of the car in front of him. When that car switched lanes, Kirwen couldn't avoid a collision.
Cullum said Hill could legally drive the scooter on the Lloyd Expressway, a state highway. Scooters, though, are prohibited by state law from going faster than 25 mph.
"We would prefer to see vehicles that can't travel more than half the posted speed limit not be on these roadways," Cullum said.
Westbound lanes of the Lloyd Expressway were blocked between Barker and Tekoppel avenues for about an hour.

I've always had issues with dark circles under my eyes. Most other products are too cakey or thick and don't look natural. Benefit Fakeup doesn't take the full darkness away, but makes it look less horrible and keeps me looking natural! I love the moisturizing center and I won't leave the house without it on.5
I received this sample shortly after my son was born and in desperate beed of a good under eye cover up. This fit the bill; I love how easy it is to use, and how it doesn't dry the skin out under my eyes. And the coverage is great! It's now my go to item before going anywhere.5
I really liked how big this sample was. I did like the formula the most. It was creamy without being heavy or cakey. It glides on really easily and I like that it's moisturizing.
I think the only thing it lacks is coverage, but I'm usually pretty minimal with my makeup anyway.
Yet another innovative & quality cosmetic item by Benefit! Love what this does & how well it works with the rest of my makeup (powder, bronzer/blush, other concealer or foundation) & the coverage is just right and doesn't leave a cakey feel or appearance. Does what it says!!!5

Killing Floor is a survival horror total conversion set in London, England. In a laboratory under the city, a series of human experiments in cloning and biological augmentation are being conducted by the employees of "Horizon". Horizon is a BioTech corporation formerly employed by the government to do the R&D on a top secret series of synthetic combat drugs which would enhance the effectiveness of soldiers in the field. Horizon's funding was cut, when their practices were deemed too immoral even for such a controversial project, but the research didn't stop. Funded by private money from the deep pockets of Horizon chairman and research scientist Kevin Clamely, tests continued in a more...private location. That was until something went wrong. There were reports that the lab had been comprimised; that the subjects were behaving abnormally...then, silence. Several days later, twisted shapes began to emerge from the confines of the lab into the city above.
Here's a brief tutorial that lets you change your map automatically at the end of the game.
Ever considered making changes to your Killing Floor mod character? Then learn an easy way to do it. Reads on...
Since 2002 we have explored, played and enjoyed mods of all shapes and sizes just like Killing Floor. We love games like Unreal Tournament 2004 that have opened themselves up to modding. Because of communities like Steam Workshop, Nexus, Curse, RTSL, GameBanana and Mod DB, more games support modding today than ever before.
Whether it is for fun, for laughs or for the challenge, modding is what sets PC gaming apart from our closed off friends in the console and mobile gaming worlds. And based on the recent outpouring of support for mods after the concept of paid modding was explored, we are not alone in our love for mods and open platforms that embrace them.
As mods play a bigger role in the future of gaming, we believe it is important to recognize the effort the teams behind the work put in, giving us countless hours of enjoyment while asking nothing in return. We have the power to change our games and that needs to be celebrated to ensure it remains a big part of PC gaming's future.
Nothing is more motivating than knowing something you've built kicks-ass. So this week if there is a mod you love on Mod DB (or anywhere else), make the effort to shout out to them, mention and link their mod in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post with the hashtag #modlove2015 (or click the icons above for a pre-built post).
To thank those who participate in spreading the love and awareness, we have partnered up with many awesome mod-friendly games (Killing Floor 2, Mount & Blade Warband, Space Engineers, Insurgency, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Black Mesa, Contagion, Amnesia - get involved) & have hundreds of keys to giveaway. To win one of the games, after you have linked to a mod on Mod DB (or anywhere else) in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post, let us know by leaving a comment with a link to your post. At the end of the week we shall be picking members at random who followed these rules, and will send them a key from one of these games.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Best and worst *main* FF games?
Best: X
Worst: XIII
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
Best: FFX
Worst: FFVII
If you like the Devil May Cry games but hate DmC, block me now.
None of them are particularly bad, but:
Best: IX, X
All ones prior to this are excellent also, but these 2 feel the most "well-rounded" to me. Not without flaws of course, but they just feel more complete in what they set out to do.
VIII's got huge polish, but combat is very divisive, and I can't say I'm a fan of magic spells as stocked items. Plus Limit Breaks and the Aura spell were so over-powered and abusable. Were actually very few towns/cities, world map felt a bit empty. Story got a bit surreal around Esthar. Shame, I think it's by far the best soundtrack.
VII is fun, but extremely rough around the edges in a lot of departments.
VI is great, deserves most of its praise but there are some seriously boring stretches in that game, and there might as well not be any random encounters for the first half of the game as they're so pathetic when you have Edgar and Sabin's spammable, high-power, no-cost abilities, and Shadow's 30 gil-a-pop Shurikens. I didn't like the World of Ruin stuff that much. More over-rated than VII if you ask me.
I could keep working backwards, but my point is - IX and X feel the most whole and balanced to me. In every aspect. Pacing's still weird in places, but they feel the closest to perfection to me.
IX has the most developed villain by far. Striking existential themes, very colourful characters, many locations, simple but fun ability system, a very varied story that has roots in old FFs but grows into something very grand.
X is like XIII done right. Somewhat linear, but the characters and lore get so much out of it. Lots of juicy end-game content, the most challenging optional fights in the series, excellent voice acting (no, it's not perfect all the way through but as a whole, and for its time, this was an incredible job). I think it's very hard to forget Spira.
Worst: XIII, II.
I'd rather say "least-good" though. And I went with the 2 most popular picks for it. Firtsly: XII is NOT a bad game...it's very different, and the story's pants but everything else - especially the soundtrack is offensively under-rated. Now that's out of the way: II. It's old, and is a nice early testament to how Square tried to keep the systems fresh and changing. But it made the game very weird and grindy in places. For being good at the game and taking minimal damage, you suffer later for having lower HP pools? Mneh.
XIII is a good game. It's not _great_. It's not at the quality of other FF's, and without that name on the cover I think people would be less harsh. That said, while the linearity and "9 chapter tutorial" serve the story well enough, it does get frightfully boring outside of battles. And while I think the "you only hit X to auto attack everything" part is exaggerated, they're only fun for so long when you get free reign over your characters paradigms. An example of it being at its best is probably the Lightning Vs Caius DLC in XIII-2. The story wasn't bad, but datalogs bogged it down so much, and while I liked the overall lore - towards the end it got pretentiously ambiguous, and came down to too much deus ex machina.
Side note: X-2 is a great game.
Dojo, casino, it's all in the mind.
Best: 9
Worst: 13
The chest is empty...like your thieving heart.
Best: X
Worst: III (the real III, not the US "III" which was VI)
Don't hesitate. When the time comes, just act.
Best: FFIX
Worst: FFXIII
Both VII and VIII are very close to FFIX's quality. The rest of the series are either, good or great in the case of III, IV, VI, X and XII.
Suikoden II sucks balls
Best is 12
Worst is 3
My personal favorite is 6, followed closely by 7.
13 is the worst post-NES one.
Also, Chess is a game of skill much like all gameplay only video games. So it is pretty mindless if you think about it.-mtjormitch
Everyone will say something different XD
For me, played them all, except the online ones, and its like this.
Best - FF10
Worst - FF12
Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner.
Liberty is when the sheep has a gun.
Best: 7
Worst: 2
Note: I haven't played 13 or the MMORPGs

The Last Witness of Lincoln's Assassination
Samuel J. Seymour, who died in 1956, was five when he went to Ford's Theater
In addition to finally ending the legal nature of slavery in Mississippi, Steven Spielberg's film 'Lincoln' has brought back into light old bits of Lincoln trivia long covered over by time.
Like, for instance, did you know that Samuel J. Seymour, the last witness to Lincoln's assassination, was alive, if not during your lifetime, then almost definitely during your parents' lifetime? Seymour was just five when he went to Ford's Theater that fateful April day to see the play Our American Cousin. According to Seymour, he thought Lincoln's whiskers made him stern-looking and while he didn't see the actual shooting, he did Lincoln slumped in his chair and noted as John Wilkes Booth leapt from the balcony to the floor.
"Hurry, hurry," Seymour begged [his host, Mrs. George] Goldsboro. "Let's go help the poor man who fell down."
Not knowing who the man was or what he had just done, Seymour was concerned for his well-being, but John Wilkes Booth's landing was smooth enough that he escaped the theater and evaded pursuit for almost two weeks.
Just a few weeks before his death in 1956, Seymour appeared on the television show "I've Got a Secret" where a panel guessed what his secret was. Seymour died just days before the anniversary of the Lincoln assassination.
Was Seymour Jewish? Details are hard to come by. But he was dragged to the theater at a young age, he believed in tikkun olam, his father oversaw big estates, he remembered tragedies well, and he lived in the DC-area Beltway. So maybe we can just claim him?

Latest Cold seep Stories
STARKVILLE, Miss., Aug.
Geologists have discovered more than 500 bubbling methane vents on the seafloor of the northern part of the US Atlantic margin.
Four species of sea creatures previously unknown to science have been discovered in deep water off the west coast of Scotland.
The bottom of the deep sea is largely deserted. Oases occur for example at cold seeps where water transports dissolved elements from the seabed: Specialized microbes convert methane and sulfate from sea water to hydrogen sulfide releasing carbon dioxide.
A super-charged methane seep has been discovered in the ocean off the coast of New Zealand, and the source seems to be interactions between a unique community of worms and bacteria.
Trees do not grow in the deep sea, nevertheless sunken pieces of wood can develop into oases for deep-sea life - at least temporarily until the wood is fully degraded.
A team of scientists has documented for the first time that animals can and do consume Archaea – a type of single-celled microorganism thought to be among the most abundant life forms on Earth.
Decades ago, marine scientists made a startling discovery in the deep sea. They found environments known as hydrothermal vents, where hot water surges from the seafloor and life thrives without sunlight.
Among the many intriguing aspects of the deep sea, Earth's largest ecosystem, exist environments known as hydrothermal vent systems where hot water surges out from the seafloor.
Scientists have identified an unexpected metabolic ability in a symbiotic community of deep-sea microorganisms. It may help solve a lingering mystery about the world's nitrogen cycle.

It is stenothermal species living in temperatures ranging from 6.5 to 7.2 degrees Celsius. This mussel harbors intracellular methanotrophic bacteria within its gills. This bacteria provides carbon...

Conference Call to be Held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time Today, May 26, 2009
SILVER SPRING, Md., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Therapeutics Corporation (Nasdaq: UTHR) announced today that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ADCIRCA(TM) (tadalafil) tablets for oral administration, with a recommended dose of 40 mg, as the first once-daily phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). ADCIRCA is indicated to improve exercise ability in WHO Group I PAH patients, which encompasses patients with multiple forms of PAH including etiologies such as idiopathic and familial PAH as well as PAH associated with scleroderma and congenital heart disease.
"Today, thanks to the clinical development efforts led by Eli Lilly & Company, we are thrilled to make available an effective, convenient and economical therapy for PAH patients," said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., United Therapeutics' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The FDA's action in approving once-a-day ADCIRCA is a big plus for all three P's: patients, physicians and payors."
In the PHIRST-1 randomized, double-blind, 16-week placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial of ADCIRCA for PAH, patients taking ADCIRCA 40 mg (administered as two 20 mg tablets) once daily achieved a 33 meter improvement in six-minute walk distance compared to the placebo group. In addition, PHIRST-1 patients taking ADCIRCA 40 mg experienced less clinical worsening (defined as death, lung transplantation, atrial septostomy, hospitalization because of worsening PAH, initiation of new PAH therapy, or worsening WHO functional class) compared to the placebo group. The most common adverse events in the trial were generally transient, mild to moderate in intensity and included headache, muscle pain, flushin

Three Shelby County students were transported to Jewish Hospital Shelbyville with minor injuries Thursday morning after the school bus on which they were riding was involved in a single-vehicle accident.
"He was one heck of a nice guy!"
Donald Farabee died Wednesday at his home after a battle with cancer, and Bruce Langley, his friend and former co-worker, cheerfully remembered Farabee's personality.
Farabee, 59, was known as a man of many roles, but those who knew him said his unifying characteristic in all roles was his kindness and easy-going nature.
The East End Study that will one day give Shelbyville's eastside a new look is ready to be put in action.
After Triple S Planning and Zoning approved the study and its suggestions last Tuesday, Shelbyville City County followed suit Thursday: It will adopt the plan as soon as possible. If an ordinance is needed, the plan will have to have two readings and won't be put in action until Feb. 18.
Some Shelby Countians have caught a break with the IRS.
If you have a family income of $49,000 or less, or a single income of $15,000 or less, and those who are over 60 years of age, you qualify for free tax preparation from two local agencies who receive grants by the IRS, the AARP Foundation and the Metro United Way.
UPDATE 9:40 a.m.: Black ice and a layer of snow caused numerous accidents and road blockages and created a very treacherous Tuesday morning in Shelby County. Ice and about an inch of snow caught road crews by surprise, spawning those accidents and forcing Shelby County schools to be closed. Vehicles were sliding without even moving along U.S. 60, and a car was upside down on Buck Creek Road. Long lines of backups kept vehicles from moving up and down hills.
The "Make Shelbyville Restaurants Smoke Free" group will get its say Thursday at the Shelbyville City Council meeting.
Lawmakers opened Tuesday what no doubt will be a busy General Assembly.
With the budget and all its problems looming, the state house and senate will look to make changes in education and several other areas.
Gov. Steve Beshear got a jump Monday by releasing his proposal to balance the state's budget. It appears to use creative cuts and not make a big slice in education, as had been feared.
But that doesn't mean there won't be education reform.
With just four days remaining before the deadline to file for the primary elections in May, at least three posts remain vacant with no candidates in line.
Shelby County looked more like tundra than bluegrass Tuesday morning, with cars stuck everywhere, wheels spinning on glassy roadways and students getting a day at home.
"It was terrible," Simpsonville Police Chief Scott Chappell said. "We had cars stuck everywhere, and even a guy who went over a guard rail and flipped over."
Frankfort church members home from Haiti
The last two members of a mission team from Capital City Christian Church in Frankfort that had been stranded in Haiti returned safely around midnight Wednesday.
Doug Riddell and Raymonde Jacques landed at the Cincinnati airport. Twelve other members of the team came home on Tuesday.

Phosphorus Facts
What is Phosphorus?
Phosphorous is a critical component of every cell. It works with the B vitamins to generate energy. Phosphorus is necessary for growth of bones and teeth; bones and teeth are 85% phosphorous. It works with sodium and potassium to maintain acid-base balance, and assist in muscle contraction, kidney function, heartbeat regulation, and in nerve conduction.
Phosphorus requirements
The RDA for phosphorous for healthy adults is 700 mg/day. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for healthy adults is 4,000 mg/day; after age 70, the UL drops to 3,000 mg/day to reflect the increased likelihood of impaired kidney function.
What happens when Phosphorus intake is too high?
Excessively high levels of phosphorus in the blood, although rare, can combine with calcium to form deposits in soft tissues such as muscle. High levels of phosphorus in blood occur only in people with severe kidney disease or severe dysfunction of their calcium regulation.
What happens when Phosphorus intake is too low?
Generally, phorphorous is never deficienct because it is so readily widespread in food. Most diets in the U.S. have adequate amounts of phosphorus. Dietary phosphorus deficiency is usually seen only in alcoholics and in cases of near total starvation.
Which foods are high in Phosphorus?
Phosphorus is found in most foods. Dairy products, meat, and fish are particularly good sources. Phosphorus is in most soft drinks in the form of phosphoric acid, and it is found in many food additives.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is offering smart card holders another incentive. They will now have special gates reserved for entry and exit. The DMRC on Wednesday announced that it will install special steel-framed gates near selected automatic fare collection (AFC) gates of the metro stations to specifically demarcate those gates only for smart card users.
"The step was taken after feedback received from smart card users that they were getting unnecessarily delayed at the entry and exit points because the token users (mostly irregular or first-time users) were taking more time to enter or exit from the system using tokens," said a DMRC spokesperson.
The first such seven-foot-long steel-framed gate has already been installed at the Barakhamba Road metro station on a trial basis. The gate will allow smart card users faster exit and entry into the metro system.
The token users will be able to use the remaining gates for exiting from the system.
"Two more such gates are planned at the Rajiv Chowk station. The traffic movement of other stations is being closely studied to decide whether such gates are needed at other stations also," the spokesperson said, adding: "If at a metro station, more than 60 per cent of the commuters are smart card users, then this option can be explored. At present, about 55 per cent of metro commuters are smart card users."
This step is also expected to encourage the commuters further to use smart cards as their use will ensure smoother entry and exit from the metro system.
Smart cards users get a 10 per cent discount on the fares and also need not stand in long queues at the token counters. There is no risk of paying any penalty for travelling beyond the authorized distance either as is the case with tokens.
"Delhi Metro also offers tourist smart cards for the tourists who visit the city. These cards, priced moderately at Rs.100 and Rs.250, are valid for unlimited travel on the metro system, for one day and three days, respectively," the spokesperson said.

Montreal Canadiens' Tomas Plekanec had a great goal off of a faceoff this evening against the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately for Tomas and Carey Price, the Canadiens goaltender, the puck ended up in the wrong net. Plekanec easily won the the faceoff hitting it back towards his goal where Carey Price made a pretty large blunder by not stopping the puck.

The human brain's remarkably low power consumption, and how computers might mimic its efficiency July 9, 2014 at 11:25 am
A new paper discusses the efficiency of neuronal computing and the ways in which we might better model the brain's function in future hardware. In some significant ways, we're clearly on the right track already.
Scientists discover the on-off switch for human consciousness deep within the brain July 7, 2014 at 7:56 am
Researchers at GWU are reporting that they've discovered the human consciousness on-off switch, deep within the brain. When this specific region of the brain, called the claustrum, is electrically stimulated, consciousness appears to turn off completely. When the stimulation is removed, consciousness returns. This could have massive repercussions for people currently in a minimally conscious state (i.e. a coma), and for deciding once and for all which organisms are actually conscious. Are monkeys conscious? Cats and dogs? A fetus?
Mind-controlled exoskeleton prepares to kick off the 2014 World Cup June 11, 2014 at 2:16 pm
It's showtime for the 2014 World Cup. On Thursday, one of the eight partially paralyzed men and women who have been training with Miguel Nicolelis' robotic, mind-controlled exoskeletons will stand up from their wheelchair and make the opening kickoff. The technology used to do this springs from a close collaboration between Nicolelis the neuroscientist, and electrical engineer Gordon Cheng. Together they lead the Walk Again Project which now promises to make history.
Radical human brain modification using high-powered lasers has been perfected June 10, 2014 at 10:02 am
One of the most technically demanding in neurosurgery has just been perfected. Lasers brain sculpting, reliable and safe, is now upon us.
New optical brain scanner can see your brain 'blush', rivals PET & MRI without using radiation or super-magnets May 29, 2014 at 1:25 pm
A new brain scanning prototype rivals the most widely used alternatives while keeping risks and costs to an amazing new low.
How to fly a plane with your brain (but you really shouldn't – not yet, anyway) May 29, 2014 at 11:01 am
Researchers from the Technische Universität München and the TU Berlin have now demonstrated that a plane can be accurately piloted without touching either pedals or stick — at least within a flight simulator.
Sandia National Labs is stepping up its neuro-inspired computer chip research May 16, 2014 at 10:46 am
Sandia National Laboratories is beginning work on a long-term project to design a computer that has more in common with the structure and function of the brain. Researchers hope that a neuro-inspired design will be more flexible and efficient, just like the brain.
The Magna Cortica: A bill of rights for our future, implant-enhanced brains May 14, 2014 at 12:30 pm
In a nod to the prescience of the Magna Carta and social expediency it spawned, a group of neurally-inclined futurists have begun to draft a similar constitution for ourselves. This new "Magna Cortica" has set for itself the task of defining a set of rights and restrictions to preempt potential abuses in the rapidly growing field of cognitive enhancement.
Your dreams can be controlled by electrically stimulating your brain – body hackers and chronic nightmare sufferers rejoice! May 12, 2014 at 8:53 am
It appears that applying an electrical current to your brain not only boosts your cognitive powers, but it can also help you obtain the mystical ability of lucid dreaming, where you can control the plot and outcome of your dreams. These findings come from a new study that found that lucid dreaming could be induced in a full 70% of participants, with a simple (external) electrical current passed across the frontal lobe. This has obvious applications for body hackers — but perhaps more importantly it may have a medical use, too, in helping people who suffer from chronic nightmares.
Human consciousness is simply a state of matter, like a solid or liquid – but quantum April 24, 2014 at 8:13 am
Thanks to the work of a small group neuroscientists and theoretical physicists over the last few years, we may finally have found a way of analyzing the mysterious, metaphysical realm of consciousness in a scientific manner. The latest breakthrough in this new field, published by Max Tegmark of MIT, postulates that consciousness is actually a state of matter, allowing us to scientifically tackle murky topics such as self awareness, and why we perceive the world in classical three-dimensional terms, rather than the infinite number of objective realities offered up by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

By Amaani LyleAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 13, 2014 Budget and social trends are spurring the military's fine-tuning of command and control, cloud computing and mobile security the director of the Defense Information Systems Agency said yesterday.
Speaking at the Joint Information Environment Mission Partner Symposium in Baltimore, Air Force Lt. Gen. Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr. said DISA wants to posture the organization's workforce by July for the changing digital information technology environment.
"As we build out the JIE, as we build out an environment for the future, we can also help the services [with] capabilities to offload work to DISA, and that would be able to free up their workforce," Hawkins reported.
But despite the shift to a single security architecture that includes the joint regional security staff, Hawkins said the Joint Information Environment's complexity mandates a reassessment of the internal threats. The Pvt. Manning and the Edward Snowden data breach incidents, the general said, have illustrated the need for DISA to focus on the insider-threat arena.
"We're able to put big data in the cloud, [but] it's not just about storing big data, but analyzing the data we put in there," Hawkins said. "We're creating enterprisewide tools, and as a result, we're creating a more defensible architecture."
Moving information through the mobility ecosystem requires securing the data at rest and also in transit, Hawkins said. "Whatever type of hand-held device you have, you can be assured that the information moved from point A to point B is the information sent from the user to the receiver."
The general also said the end goal is to be able to move information across the mission partner environment. "We are exploiting what is taking place as we build out the JIE within the Pacific Rim," Hawkins said. "The mobile networking system is the driver of the foundation."
Centralizing, consolidating and standardizing the budget have also been a priority for DISA, Hawkins said.
"We've been transparent on where we're spending our money," he said. "We are looking at making sure we reduce costs. … We want to maximize a workforce that is focused on the future [and] organize for the competitive IT advantage to make sure DISA is organized for success."
Hawkins emphasized that workforce training that enables a shift from past to future conflicts is critical in DISA's growth and partnership across the DOD.
"We must maneuver our resources to shape the enterprise for the conflicts of tomorrow, not really the conflicts we've had in the past," the general said.

Ducks beat Sharks 5-2, clinch Pacific title
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — When Jakob Silfverberg's short-handed goal rattled into the Sharks' empty net, the Anaheim Ducks could finally celebrate a division title that nearly got away.
Just a few weeks after San Jose knocked them off the top of the standings, the Ducks clawed their way back up and cemented their spot as the Pacific's new power.
Patrick Maroon scored two goals, John Gibson made 36 saves in his second NHL start, and the Ducks clinched their second straight division title with a 5-2 victory over the Sharks on Wednesday night.
Corey Perry scored his 43rd goal as the Ducks finished off the second-place Sharks with a three-goal third period to earn the first back-to-back division titles in franchise history. Anaheim also set club records with 112 standings points and 257 goals.
It's not a bad night's work, but the Ducks hope they're not done.
"It's great, but it's also only the first step in what we want to do," Perry said. "We reached a goal that we set for ourselves, but we have bigger goals."
Matt Beleskey also scored for the Ducks as they pushed one point ahead of St. Louis for the overall lead in the Western Conference, although the Blues have a game in hand.
The Ducks led the overall NHL standings for much of the season until St. Louis and San Jose pushed ahead of them last month. Anaheim reclaimed the Pacific lead two weeks ago and finally finished off the Sharks, who are in the playoffs for the 10th straight season.
Anaheim will face one of the West's two wild-card playoff teams — Minnesota, Dallas or Phoenix — in the first round. The Ducks also would have home-ice advantage in the second round.
"Home barn is always important," said Teemu Selanne, who had two assists. "I personally believe in home sweet home, but the main thing is we want to finish the season strong, and this game was a big step in that."
Jason Demers and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who have lost four of six down the stretch. Antti Niemi allowed three goals on 19 shots before getting pulled.
San Jose could have pulled within one point of the Ducks with a regulation victory, but Alex Stalock replaced Niemi midway through the second period after Maroon scored the tiebreaking goal on a stoppable shot. The Sharks couldn't rally against Gibson, who held them scoreless in the final 32 minutes.
"You can look at tonight, or at something we did three or four games ago, or even before that," Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said. "We still like our chances in the playoffs."
The Sharks are locked into a first-round playoff rematch with the Los Angeles Kings, who eliminated them in a bruising seven-game series in the second round last spring. The California rivals are meeting in the postseason for the third time in four years.
"It would have been great (to win the division), but we're in the playoffs and we know who we're going to play," San Jose captain Joe Thornton said.

RFM income reached P682M in 2012
popular .
Food and beverage company RFM Corp. finished 2012 with an income of P682 million, a 34-percent increase from the previous year's P508 million, on the back of an 11 percent sales growth to P11.1 billion.
With stronger cash flows from its business units and the proceeds from the recent sale of the meat business, RFM said it was paying in advance about P1 billion of its long term loans.
RFM president and CEO Jose A. Concepcion III credited the accelerated income growth to stronger sales of its higher margin businesses.
"The lower commodity input costs in 2012, such as for milk, wheat and sugar, were also important in keeping the cost levels down, as well as better yields due to scale economies as we reached higher volumes in our key brands, such as Selecta ice cream, and Fiesta spaghetti," he said.
Concepcion mentioned the benefits of having a positive economic climate that further boosts consumer confidence and spending. This led to continued growth in practically all the company's brands, led by Selecta ice cream, Fiesta pasta, White King cake and sauce mixes, Selecta milk and Sunkist juice, Concepcion said.
The growth momentum is expected to continue this year with a bullish macro environment, being a mid-term election year, and expectation of another rating upgrade for the country.
Fund managers and investors have also been bullish on the country and several consumer-oriented companies like RFM.
"It will be a more exciting year for Selecta and Fiesta as we introduce more product innovations and build-up brand equity", Concepcion said.
Concepcion also revealed the company's intent to accelerate its growth organically and through possible acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Donnie was extremely helpful and never kept us waiting. He had more knowledge and experience than the other three realtors combined in my opinion. His no nonsense approach to the real estate market was exeactly what we needed. He was honest and upfront so there were no surprises and was a phone call away every time we needed him. Not just a voicemail but answers!! ( even when on the other end with another client)
I could not have asked more from him, extremely organized and point on with his market analysis. We sold our house in TWO DAYS!!!!
THANKS DONNIE!!!!!!!! More Less
Dear Ryan & Tara, Thank you for such kind words. However I must admit that you made it SUPER EASY for me by having such a great home to begin with. And I have to mention the fact that you both did me the great courtesy of trusting my professional advice. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU in your new journey and I truly look forward to working with you again, when you're ready. Call me anytime. God Bless.

- History
Agriculture accounts for less than one-tenth of the national income of Bulgaria. Cereal crops are grown on almost three-fifths of the sown land. Wheat is by far the most important, followed by corn (maize) and barley; rye, oats, soybeans, and rice also are grown. Tobacco, which is of a good-quality Oriental type and is grown mainly in the south, is an especially important industrial crop. The state-run tobacco company, Bulgartabac, was sold to a Russian firm in 2011.
Sunflower seed is the chief oilseed crop; after extraction of the oil, the pulp is made into cattle feed. Sunflowers, like sugar beets, grow mainly in the north. Bulgaria has become a leading exporter of grapes and tomatoes. There is stock breeding of cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. The forestry industry claims nearly 4,000,000 hectares (9,900,000 acres) of land.
A cooperative movement in agriculture developed before World War II. After the war, cooperative farms were established in the fashion of Soviet kolkhozy on most arable land. The cooperative and state farms later merged into large state and collective units. These were further consolidated in 1970–71 into even larger groupings, called agro-industrial complexes, that took advantage of integrated systems of automation, supply, and marketing.
In 1990 the government lifted restrictions on private farming, and almost all agricultural land was restored thereafter to private ownership while loans for the establishment of small farms and food-processing facilities were made available.
Resources and power
Bulgaria is relatively well-endowed with a variety of both metallic and nonmetallic minerals. Geologic exploration has identified about 40 coal basins, which together contain almost 3 billion tons of proven recoverable reserves. Of the reserves, virtually all is lignite. The main mining areas are in the Pernik basin southwest of Sofia, in the Maritsa basin (at two locations: south of Stara Zagora and further southwest, at Dimitrovgrad), and in the northwest at Lom on the Danube. Lignite and brown coal fire the country's thermal power stations and are used as fuel and raw material for many of Bulgaria's industries.
Although deposits of anthracite and bituminous coal have been almost exhausted in Bulgaria, other deposits of black coking coal have been found in the northeast, in the Dobruja region. One of the largest reserves is near Sofia, at Kremikovtsi, the site of the country's largest metallurgical plant. Smaller quantities of iron ore are mined in the northwest (Montana [formerly Mikhaylovgrad]), in the central region (Troyan), and in the southeast (Yambol). There are significant deposits of nonferrous ores (copper, lead, and zinc) in the Rhodope, Balkan, and Sredna mountains.
Bulgaria is also rich in less-valuable minerals, including rock salt, gypsum, limestone, dolomite, kaolin (china clay), asbestos, and barite. The country has only small deposits of oil and natural gas, though it is hoped that offshore exploration of the Black Sea will reap new deposits. Bulgaria relies on Russia for supplies of natural gas.
About one-half of Bulgaria's energy is imported. Coal and nuclear power combine about equally to provide nearly nine-tenths of the country's electrical production. The major source of energy within Bulgaria is the Maritsa lignite field, which provides fuel for large thermoelectric plants at Dimitrovgrad and Maritsa-Iztok; there are also thermal power stations at Pernik, Sofia, Plovdiv, and Burgas. Bulgaria's first and only nuclear power station, at Kozloduy, was constructed with Soviet aid and began operation in 1974. Two reactors were closed there in 2002, and another two were shut down in 2006 as a condition of EU accession.

It was so easy and reasonably priced. The quality is superb!
Quality product, responsive customer service, my go-to company for elegant and beautiful stationary!
The quality of both the mini magnets and mini magnet carriers is sound and appreciated. I was able to customize all the options, colors and fonts I wanted and the pictures are beautiful print quality -both color and b&w. I was most impressed with the responsive and proactive customer service. One of my pictures would have printed improperly (cutting off the top of the head of the groom!) and I was notified immediately to review my proof and encouraged to provide a different picture so that it would look and print nicer. Their correspondences were prompt, professional and I had the true sense that they wanted their customers to receive the best possible product.
