U.S. Auto Racing
The Indianapolis 500-mi classic, now a part of Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony George's Indy Racing League (IRL) schedule, faced its first competition ever. Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART), an organization of the car owners, defected and staged its own 500-mi race on the same day at the Michigan International Speedway. This intensified a battle for supremacy between the two organizations, which developed quickly into a struggle for racing venues and corporate backers. Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Ford, and Toyota built engines for CART, and Oldsmobile and Nissan did the same for the new IRL race cars that were to debut in 1997.
At the Indianapolis 500, Buddy Lazier of Hemelgarn Racing, driving a Reynard-Ford with a special seat to allay pain from a crash nine weeks earlier that broke his back in 16 places, won $1,370,000 of a record $8.1 million purse, finishing less than one second ahead of Davy Jones in a Lola-Mercedes. Lazier's average speed was 147.956 mph. Richie Hearn (Reynard-Ford) was third. The inaugural IRL season also included races at Phoenix, Ariz.; Orlando, Fla.; Las Vegas, Nev., and Loudon, N.H.
After a 12-car crash just before the start sent most of the field into backup cars, only two drivers finished all 250 laps in the competing CART race. Jimmy Vasser in a Reynard-Honda bested Mauricio Gugelmin (Reynard-Ford) by 10.995 sec., averaging 156.403 mph. Vasser, driving for Chip Ganassi, won the CART season championship, which included competitions in Brazil, Australia, and Canada.
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) enjoyed a banner year. The Winston Cup, its premier series, went down to the finale of a 31-race season before Terry Labonte dethroned his Rick Hendricks Chevrolet teammate Jeff Gordon 4,657 points to 4,620. Dale Jarrett in a Ford Thunderbird finished third, 52 points behind Gordon. Labonte, who had been champion in 1984, won only twice to Gordon's 10 times, but he was more consistent.
Jarrett included the Daytona 500, the Charlotte Coca Cola 600, and the Indianapolis Brickyard 400--NASCAR's three richest events--among his four victories. At Daytona he edged seven-time Winston champion Dale Earnhardt by 0.12 seconds. At Indianapolis he defeated Ernie Ervan, and at Charlotte he beat Earnhardt by 11.982 seconds. Randy LaJoie won the NASCAR Busch series crown over David Green, and in the Craftsman Truck Series Ron Hornaday, Jr., won over Jack Sprague. All drove Chevrolet-powered vehicles.
The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) staged a nine-race series in its World Sports Car category. Cars with Oldsmobile and Ford engines challenged Ferrari 333 SPs in the competition, which included the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Driving a Doyle racing car with an Oldsmobile engine, Wayne Taylor won both the Daytona and the Sebring events and also gained the drivers' championship. Oldsmobile later announced that it was curtailing its IMSA program to concentrate on IRL engine development. In the Sports Car Club of America Trans-Am series, Tom Kendall edged Dorsey Schroeder. Both were driving Ford Mustangs.

And TC, I may be 13 but at least I don't not spam your lobby with mic spam or make an offensive emblem. I'm actually calm and collected... And nothing angers me more than seeing other people in my age group that give us a bad rep.
There are actually people that are nice and civil and that don't become a douche and ruin your fun. Give them a chance and not just think "Oh everyone under 18 is inappropriate and should not be allowed to play this game."

Im 17 and i disagree.... instead of banning everyone 12 - 17... how about just IP banning all the little pr**ks that are immature? I remember in cod 4 when you would get into a lobby with 10 - 13 year olds and they were cool... you could talk with them and have a decent conversation and have fun... but now a days all the little kids goals are to be as annoying and gay as they can possibly be.... so yea just ban all the annoying immature kids maybe... not even kids immature adults too... idc if you work your ass off to come home and play CoD (or w/e your excuse is) if your just gonna get on and whine and take out your anger on people younger then you cuz you dont have your s*** together then you deserve to be banned
And yet you have a username like that TC. lol.

The game is 17+ btw... "Mature 17+"
The ESRB rating for this game is M. which is 17+. I don't understand why you want to ban 17 year olds. I also don't understand why you don't care about anyone below 12.

I like playing these teenagers and their lack of skills. I don't ever have to hear them on the mic, because I am always in a party (even if none of my friends are online). You can tell when you are playing against kids because they move like robots.

2012 NFL Pre-Combine
DE Rankings - No. 11 to 25
- 2013 Prospects:
- 2013 Prospects:
Defense Follow Us ...
CFN Pre-Combine DE Rankings
11. Chandler Jones, Syracuse (Jr.) 6-5, 265 Proj. 3
Positives: A good-sized pure athlete. Tall, lean, and moves like a basketball player. Smooth as silk. … Can get bigger without a problem. He's fine at 265, and he could be a dominator at 285 in a 3-4 alignment. … A fighter. He'll push to make plays and has a great motor. Tries hard.
Negatives: Not all that physical. He might not work well as a 3-4 end without the bulk to hold up against the power offenses. … Needs a lot of development. For good and bad, he's not where he needs to be. He'll be picked with the hope that he can become something special, but he's not there yet.
12. Jack Crawford, Penn State 6-5, 268 Proj. 4
Positives: Big. He's a huge, tough end with intimidating size. … A good pass rusher. He might not have elite skills, but he's disruptive and gets into the backfield. … A ton of upside. He's not even close to reaching his full potential.
Negatives: Not particularly fast or athletic and not quite strong enough. Needs to hit the weight room. … More of a hard worker than an athlete. He's not going to wow anyone in workouts. … Looks the part, but doesn't play to it. Not the force he needs to be.
13. Malik Jackson, Tennessee 6-4, 285 Proj. 5
Positives: Just big enough to be used as a true tackle, or he could end up being a 3-4 end. … Moves well for his size. Does a nice job of holding up against the run. … A leader. He's not going to dominate a line, but he's not going to need to be motivated, either.
Negatives: Needs to get a log bigger. Not athletic enough to be a true 4-3 end, and not bulky enough to hold up inside. … Not great against the power running teams. Doesn't hold up well when attacked. … Needs to find one thing he can do well. Good enough to be a backup at any spot up front, but not necessarily a starter.
14. Donte Paige-Moss, North Carolina (Jr.) 6-4, 260 Proj. 6
Positives: The frame is there. He's a tall, lean end with the potential to add a bit more good weight. … Smooth. Before getting hurt, he was able to zip into the backfield and get by on pure athleticism. … Nice against the run. Doesn't seem like he has the body to do it, but he holds up well against power teams.
Negatives: he needs to rock up a bit. He needs to add good weight. … Torn ACL. He needs to show he has the burst back. … Questionable off the field. Had some issues, wasn't always positive on it. He needs to show he's ready to mature into a consistent player who wants to be great.
15. Oliver Vernon, Miami (Jr.) (OLB) 6-3, 255 Proj. 5
Positives: A tweener, but in a good way. He's strong enough to handle himself as a 4-3 end, and athletic enough to be used as a linebacker. … A pure pass rusher. He could find a role as a specialist if needed. … Flies into the backfield. Looks like he's shot out of a cannon when he gets a step.
Negatives: Got suspended and missed most of last year. He still has to show he can put it all together for a full season. … Was okay, but not consistently great. He'll get drafted on potential. … Not quite athletic enough to shine as an outside linebacker.
16. Shea McClellin, Boise State 6-3, 248 Proj. 4
Positives: Athletic enough to be an outside linebacker. He has the fire and the toughness to handle himself no matter where he plays. … A fighter. He's always working and always going 100 miles per hour to make a play. … Has a nice frame. Can beef up with good weight and work on the end in a 4-3, or could stay slim and be a pass rusher in a 3-4.
Negatives: Not big. He lost week over the last year and came to the Senior Bowl at under 250 pounds. He has to get a lot bigger to be an end. … He's a battler, but he can be erased by anyone who can get a hand on him. … Might be a true tweener. Not athletic enough to be a starting linebacker, and not big enough to be an end.
17. Jacquies Smith, Missouri 6-2, 255 Proj. 5
Positives: A speed rusher. Comes off the edge in a blur. … Devastating when he has a bead on a ball carrier or a quarterback. … Could be devastating if he's used just as a pass rushing specialist, but he's athletic enough to grow into a hybrid role on the outside in some way.
Negatives: Not big enough to be a full-time end. Not big enough to carry much more weight. … Not going to do much against the run. He'll be flattened by an NFL offensive tackle. … Needs to operate in space. Not good at getting through the wash.
18. Tyrone Crawford, Boise State 6-4, 285 Proj. 4
Positives: A true end who can play in any system. Bulked up enough to work as a 3-4 end. … Strong enough to hold up against the run. Active when double teamed and battles to get to the ball. … Athletic for his size. Moves well off the ball and can get into the backfield.
Negatives: Needs polish. For good and bad, he needs a lot of work and isn't a finished product. … Not much of a pass rusher. He's not going to be fast enough to get into the backfield on a regular basis. … Has to prove he can hold up on a regular basis. He didn't really show up until this year.
19. Julian Miller, West Virginia 6-3, 256 Proj. 7
Positives: A good-looking pass rusher with a high end. He's a hustle player who makes plenty of plays on want-to. … Can tackle. He holds up well against the run and should be able to shed blocks without much of a problem. … Good and breaking through blocks to get into the backfield. A fighter.
Negatives: Has to prove he can be a consistent pass rushing threat at the next level. Was moved around throughout his career and has to find a home. … Not elite athletically and not big enough to be dominant against the run. No room to get any bigger. … Not really an outside linebacker. WAY too slow.
20. Taylor Thompson, SMU 6-6, 266 Proj. 6
Positives: A great frame. Played most of his career at around 280, and he lost weight and got even quicker. He can beef back up again without a problem. … Strong. Holds up well and doesn't get shoved around. Just fine as a 3-4 end. … A run defender. Could turn out to be among the best ends in this draft against the run.
Negatives: Major question marks about his desire. Doesn't bring the heat on every play. … Not really a pass rusher. Not a speed rusher in any way. … Might need a fire lit under him. He has the tools, but he needs to want it on every play.
21. Scott Solomon, Rice 6-3, 278 Proj. 7
Positives: A hard-working pass rusher. Consistently good at getting into the backfield. … Active. Did a great job of being disruptive and helping to change around games. … Good-sized and holds up well against the run. Made plenty of plays both when chasing down ball carriers and with runs coming right at him.
Negatives: Not fast. Came up with most of his sack production against the weaker teams. … Came back and was productive, but missed all of 2010 with a foot injury. … Not fast off the ball. Gets a good push, but he's not going to fly past anyone.
22. Jamie Blatnick, Oklahoma State 6-3, 270 Proj. 5
Positives: Big. Can be used as a 3-4 end and can hold up well against the run. … Athletic enough to have been used as an outside linebacker. A tackler. … Smart. Really smart and doesn't make too many mistakes.
Negatives: Not fast enough. He's better when he can be physical and can't turn the corner well. … Doesn't have any special physical tools. More of a football player than a pure prospect. … Needs to refine his skills to be a full-time end. Needs plenty of technique work.
23. Frank Alexander, Oklahoma 6-3, 262 Proj. 6
Positives: One of the Big 12's better pass rushers. Worked in several alignments and always produced. … Moves well off the ball. Physical and consistent. He'll mix it up one play, and will get around the corner the next. … A true end. He's ready out of the box.
Negatives: Not a great all-around athlete. Decent in all areas, but doesn't stand out physically. … Not all that great in space. Nice on the move, but doesn't misses on some plays here and there. … Not really fast enough to be a 4-3 end, and not quite strong or big enough to work as a 3-4 end.
24. Broderick Binns, Iowa 6-0, 262 Proj. FA
Positives: A mainstay on the Iowa offensive line. Always showed up and always brought the A effort. … Good at coming up with big things on the move and has proven to hold up well against the run. … A playmaker. Always seemed to be around the ball.
Negatives: Doesn't have the body. Way too short and has no room to get any bigger. … Can get caught up in the wash. Disappeared a bit too often. … Not an NFL pass rusher in any way. He might have to work as a 3-4 end only.
25. Kentrell Lockett, Ole Miss 6-5, 243 Proj. FA
Positives: When he's right, he's ultra-athletic and a blur off the ball. … Moves well enough to be used as an outside linebacker if needed. … A team leader. Fights his tail off and will do whatever is needed to make a play.
Negatives: Major health concerns. Suffered a torn ACL and had a scare with his heart. … Not big enough. Needs to add more functional weight. Has the frame to do it, but he's just not big enough. … Can be erased by a big blocker. Has a tough time getting free.

I have a fairly simple database that I inherited. For the purposes of this question, there are two tables: Mastertable and Providertable.
Mastertable references Providertable thruogh provid, which is a FK to Providertable PK (provid).
So it looks like this:
acct (PK) (other fields) provid (FK)
provid (PK) provname provspecialty
Simple right? However, the Mastertable!provid field is actually a lookup table which displays Providertable!provname but stores provid. There is a form the users use to populate the Mastertable, and it has this lookup field shown.
The users now want to show the provider specialty based on what they select as the provid. I can't figure this out to save my life. I'm pretty well versed in SQL, having written many stored procedures and created a few db apps using .NET, but this is quite challenging. I tried creating a lookup field called provspeciality, but that's not what they want. I tried changing the "OnUpdate" event for the lookup field to point the Provider Specialty label to the right thing.
Right now, I can't even get a simple select going that joins the two tables since they are using this lookup field as the FK and Access I guess can't understand it. Any help appreciated.

- Weight: 265 Ib
Sammartino held the WWWF World Heavyweight Cham...
Bruno Sammartino recently spoke about his return to the WWE and more. Here are the highlights…
On his return to WWE: "After all these years, Triple H called me. I must say he came across very, very honestly, and straightforward. Triple H said that they have a very strict drug testing policy, lead by Dr. Maroon. Triple H said I want you to watch wrestling on Monday Night RAW and watch the changes about the nudity, vulgarity, and profanity" "I went back in because I liked what I heard about the drug testing, I liked how they cleaned it up as far as the nudity, vulgarity, and the profanity…everything that I've seen so far is really how he told me it would be."
On being critical of WWE in the past: "I had been very outspoken about some of the things that were bothering me…I didn't like the direction, as far as the nudity, vulgarity, and profanity like there was no tomorrow…I felt in my heart that they were very wrong, and I felt that going into the Hall of Fame would be hypocritical of me at the time and I just wouldn't do it."
On the wrestlers he enjoys: "I do watch it. I think guys like Cena work very hard. Guys like Brock Lesnar, Ziggler, Orton, and Sandow work hard and do a lot of great maneuvers, have good work rate, seem very conscientious about the business, and being the best they can be."
On making future appearances with WWE: "They asked me if I would be willing to make some appearances where requests come in from some particular shows in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Connecticut. With the Hall of Fame and WrestleMania coming up I will be spending a lot of time doing question and answer session and autograph sessions."

German photographer drawing flak for her "flying" dogs photos
A German photographer is taking some heat — at least on the Internet — for a series of photos capturing dogs in mid-air.
Dogs used in the photo shoot didn't plummet too far, apparently only a couple of feet or so, after being dropped by their (off camera) owners onto a mattress.
Berlin-based photographer Julia Christe came up with the idea of photographing dogs while they were airborne during an assignment shooting photos for an undisclosed animal pharmaceutical product.
The photos were picked up by more than a few media outlets, including the Daily Mail, which called them "hilarious," and the Huffington Post, which termed the dog's faces "precious," pointed out no dogs were injured and noted, "We're betting some of them even wanted to go again, since dogs are just awesome."
Readers, almost unanimously, had, an entirely different view of it. Almost all those leaving comments on the Huffington Post post, called it animal cruelty, with many noting the fear they say is evident in the dog's eyes.
Nearly 100 dogs and their owners turned up at Christe's studio after she issued a call for canine models — and none of the owners apparently had any problem holding their dogs in the air and dropping them onto a mattress.
Christe (left) said she was seeking a unique perspective for her dog photos, and that all the dogs who took part seemed to have fun doing so.
"The dogs were dropped by their owners onto a mattress from as low a height as possible, and the impression of flight was enlarged by wind machines," the photographer explained in the Daily Mail.
But as some commenters noted, even light landings can be hard on small dogs like dachshunds, and — regardless of how far they're falling — the stress and fear it causes constitutes cruelty, some say.
"It's actually incredibly dangerous for doxins to jump, let alone be dropped," wrote one. "Their backs are very fragile and can break. This is more about a photographer wanting the spotlight, than it is art. Shame on you for putting your ego before these dogs' safety and well being."
We'd go a step further and say it's also about websites who pander to dog lovers without pausing to think about what they're pasting onto their sites — the ones that, in their haste to get more hits, slap an "adorable" label on anything dog-related and share it, failing to apply anything close to critical or responsible thinking.
Was Christe's project cruel to dogs? That's debatable. Was it stupid? Definitely (and that applies to the volunteer dog owners, too).
"I really love animals, and so everything was safe, I would never take a chance on them getting hurt," Christe said in the Daily Mail article. "…I feel the photographs show off both the grace and elegance of the dogs, which makes them appear in a slightly different way than usual."
For all those pet photographers who would put a dog at risk so that they may achieve a new artistic perspective, we'd suggest they fling their own selves through the air, or turn their own selves upside down.
Because all those down-to-earth dogs are perfectly happy with the perspective they already have.

Duke's last day
When a friend had to put her dog down a week ago, Houston photographer Robyn Arouty joined her to provide some moral support, and to document Duke's bittersweet last day with her camera.
Arouty, who is also an animal rescuer and advocate, joined her friend Jordan Roberts on July 7 as she let Duke feast on hamburgers and visit a water park before he received a lethal injection — all while surrounded by friends.
Duke, a black Lab, was diagnosed a few years ago with osteosarcoma, a cancerous bone tumor, and had his right front leg removed. The cancer came back, though, and was spreading.
"His tumor was growing rapidly and we were out of options," Roberts said. "He would rally during the day, but his nights were increasingly uncomfortable as his tumor started to separate his ribs. We struggled with the decision to let Dukey go, but ultimately did everything in our power to protect him from further pain."
She made an appointment with a vet to have him euthanized on Monday, July 7. Then she called Arouty, who had taken photos for her before. She told her about her plans for Duke's last day and asked her to photograph it.
Arouty's photos show Duke and friends eating hamburgers in the morning, visiting a water park, and cuddling with friends.
Along with the photos, Arouty told the story of Duke (narrated from his point of view) on her blog . (Note: At the time of this writing, it was having some technical difficulties.)
"Jordan let me know she had scheduled the appointment with the vet and the words just came," Arouty told KSL.com. "See, I have lost three of my own dogs in the past year and a half."
"With the help from our friends, Dukey had a beautiful day filled with love and happiness," his owner said. "We should all be so lucky."

Pooparazzi: Anne Hathaway's revenge
Actress Anne Hathaway and her chocolate lab, Esmerelda, teamed up to leave a gift on the windshield of a photographer that was dogging the duo as they tried to enjoy an afternoon walk.
The Huffington Post reported that the "Les Misérables" star was walking her dog on the day after Christmas and found herself being followed by a man with a camera.
When Esmerelda pooped, Hathaway dutifully scooped it up in a yellow plastic bag, and knotted the top.
Then, the website reports, she placed the bag on the windshield of the unidentified photographer's car and walked away.

Another unlikely friendship: A dog and a fox
We humans, with our vastly superior intellects, and being the far more evolved and civilized species, don't need no stinkin' animals to show us how to live life.
Do we?
You'd think not — especially with Christmas approaching. Between all the peace, good will and fellowship the season supposedly brings, and all the attention, with his death, on Nelson Mandela's legacy of kindness and forgiveness, we shouldn't be needing, right now, any furry creatures reminding us bigger-brained, two-legged types how to get along with each other.
Yet, in the past month, they seem to keep doing so — almost as if they think the message has failed to get through.
First, it's a goose and a dog partnering up in the UK. Then it's an elk and a dog becoming backyard playmates in Washington state. Both pairs were shown at play, raising the question, at least in some heads, if animals of different sizes and species — like elephants and dogs, or cats and crows – can get along with each other, why can't we?
Now comes this latest pair, a fox and a dog in Norway who met in the woods last summer and became fast friends.
Norwegian photographer Torgeir Berge was out for a walk with his four-year-old German shepherd, Tinni, when they encountered an abandoned baby fox. Since then the fox, which Berge named Sniffer, has regularly met up with them on their trips through the woods, and Berge has been taking pictures of the get-togethers.
Now he's working on a book about the unlikely friendship with writer Berit Helberg, who told TODAY.com that the fox was probably an orphan whose mother had died, and was probably seeking food, help and company.
"Not many people are privileged to see and enjoy a friendship like this, but Torgeir Berge has both seen them in action and gotten the opportunity to catch this in images that don't need words," Helberg wrote in post. They hope the story will raise awareness for animal rights and the conditions that some animals are forced live in as a result of the fur trade, Helberg said.
Yes, animals of different species far more often kill and eat each other to survive. And these unlikely interspecies friendships, seemingly choreographed from the grave (or wherever he is) of Walt Disney, are the exception. It's not like animals got together and said "Let's rethink this whole survival of the fittest thing, and live together in harmony, eating wild berries."
It was from animals, after all, that we most likely learned that mindset — that the world belongs to the fittest, richest or whoever roars the loudest.
Heartwarming as these unlikely friendship stories are, they're not messages being sent to humans by animals.
But, particularly at Christmas, they are messages worth receiving, and learning from.

Down Sunny! A faux paw at the White House
While, as you can see above, the First Lady quickly seized control of the situation, the Second Dog got in a little trouble yesterday at a White House Christmas party.
Sunny Obama, the second Portuguese water dog the Obamas adopted, was part of a minor incident in which, by most reports, the one-year-old dog's over-friendliness caused a party guest, 2-year-old Ashtyn Gardner, to fall over.
Sunny, adopted in August, jumped up on the toddler during the 2013 White House Holiday Press Preview.
The moment – not the worst violation of etiquette to ever take place in the White House, but maybe the cutest — was captured by Associated Press photographer Charles Dharapak.
Michelle Obama hosts the party every year, unveiling the White House's holiday decorations with families of military service members.
Ashtyn, both of whose parents are in the Navy, was attending the party with her father, John Gardner, who later said that Ashtyn was fine.
Sunny reportedly apologized right after the incident by licking Ashtyn's face, and both Sunny and Bo, the Obama's first Portuguese water dog, were allowed to remain in the room afterward.
The Washington Post said Sunny "bounded into a State Dining Room full of children dressed in sparkly shoes and lacy dresses and headed right for little Ashtyn Gardner, 2, from Mobile, Ala. All of a sudden the blond girl with ringlet curls … was down on the rug. …
"Are you okay?" said a concerned Obama, mom-in-chief, tugging back on Sunny's leash. But there was no need for damage control. Before Ashtyn could answer, she was back on her feet and Sunny was licking her face. All seemed well again, and the kids from military families could get back to frosting cookies and making paper poinsettia flowers with the first lady, crafty projects that have become a part of the Obama holiday traditions.
The Associated Press also avoided saying Sunny made contact with the girl, reporting Ashtyn "lost her balance and dropped to the carpet when Michelle Obama led the leashed puppy (a separate handler held Bo) into the State Dining Room…"
The dogs, in addition to attending the fest, also are a large part of its theme. Two life-sized replicas of the Portuguese water dogs, made from black satin ribbon, are on display, and miniature versions of them, made of chocolate, are part of the annual gingerbread White House display.

Shake: When dogs let the fur fly
As stunning as Carli Davidson's photographs are in "SHAKE" — a new book featuring dogs caught in the middle of letting the fur (and drool) fly — this video produced in conjunction with her may be even more breathtaking.
SHAKE, the book, was released today by HarperCollins. Inspired by Davidson's own dog, a mastiff named Norbert, who regularly flings drool at her home, it presents more than 130 full-page portraits of dogs shaking off water. The photos began showing up on the Internet in 2012, went viral, and were shaped into a book.
As a side project, Davidson worked with Variable, a New York production company, to produce the video.
The still photos are magnificent, capturing dogs in a millisecond – their heads caught in mid-swivel, their ears in mid flap, their jowls contorted, their fur frozen in flight, and their slung streams of drool stopped in mid-air.
The slow-motion video, though, shows the whole intricate dance – and how the simple act of a dog shaking is really pretty complex. Exactly how many different muscles, going in how many different directions, does doing that take? And how is it possible to be so grossly contorted and amazingly elegant at the same time?
The answer is you have to be a dog.
You, as a human, can dance with stars, dance with the devil, or dance 'til you drop, but I don't think your moves will ever parallel what a dog is able to pull off in the simple — or not so simple — act of shaking off.
Davidson, a native of Portland, Oregon, began experimenting with taking high-speed photos of dogs shaking off water in 2011. The next year she began posting them online, and they received millions of views.
In 2012, members of the team at Variable saw Davidson's photo series online and contacted her about making a video.
"Fortunately for us, Carli responded to our enthusiastic e-mail with an even more enthusiastic e-mail stating that she was totally down to collaborate and had a very similar vision! After months and many meetings of trying to figure out how we could even afford to make this film, we all just decided to empty our pockets, pull some serious strings, and make the video purely for the fun of it."

"Hey That's My Dog" unleashed tonight
"Hey That's MY Dog!," a photo exhibit featuring more than 150 South Baltimore canines, kicks off tonight at Captain Larry's.
If you've strolled by the Captain's, you might have seen my sign out front, a piece of which is shown here.
The exhibit is a benefit for Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter, once the home of my dog, Ace, and a passing through point for another 11,000 or so dogs a year.
All profits, once the costs of the exhibit are recouped — and I sure hope they are recouped — will go to BARCS, a non-profit agency formed in 2005 in an effort to upgrade the former city animal shelter and reduce the rate of euthanizations.
All photos are for sale and can be taken home with you. The grand opening party starts today at 6 p.m., with Captain Larry's offering some "Hey That's MY Appetizer" and "Hey That's MY Drink" specials. The evening may also feature some musical entertainment, depending on the weather, and whether Sierra the singing dog shows up. (City laws don't allow dogs inside dining establishments, but Sierra plans a sidewalk performance.)
There's no charge for admission. Donations to BARCS are welcome. The event's Facebook page can be found here.

I have always said that I do not have a problem with people conducting investigation in to what the climate is doing, and publishing opinions based upon their research. The study of what the climate is doing is of significant concern. Nevertheless, I have problems when they say that because the climate is changing that we must build a centralized economy and do exactly as they say. That is utterly disingenuous.
Victor C. Capelli

Everything you said is all academic when you consider that the "enhanced greenhouse effect" which is what the industrial gases are creating will start a chain reaction resulting in an altered NAO and the shift of the Gulf Stream away from Europe and North America. The result will be another "little Ice Age" like the one which ended about 150 years ago and coincided, not conincidently, with the Industrial revolution. The warming up of the climate will force the warming/cooling cycles of millienia to accelerate and Mankind will be the loser.
Victor C. Capelli
The thermohaline exchange which is part of the Gulf Stream is dependent on a precise amount of cold fresh water coming down from the North Pole. If the amount of cold, fresh water flowing down increases, the equilibrium and direction of the northward flowing warm Gulf Stream will shift. Europe's and the entire climate of the Northern Hemisphere will no longer be temperate, but will approach that of the Pleistocene period. Crops will fail, transportatlion systems (the rivers will freeze)shut down and entire human populations will have to migrate south in order to survive. We had a "little Ice age" a hundred and fifty years ago" and that one lasted more than 500 years. The Vikings had to quit Greenland and their New world settlements because it was too cold to raise crops. The world's climate is very twitchy, anything can upset the balance. In 1815, Mt.Tambora erupted and the following year, crops failed in New England and the "Year without a summer caused widespread famine and a lot of suffering around the world. Volcanic dust cools the earth and C02 warms it, we will pay anyway.

Both replies are incorrect. Climatology is a science, astrology and astronomy are misnamed. "Ology" means the study of- so astrology is the study of the stars while astronomy is the "measurement" of the stars. Climatology is the scientific study of climate and as such utilizes scientific measuring instruments and the talents and skills of scientists. Astrologers were people who thought that the stars influenced human destiny. Climatology is showing that we are changing our own destiny by destroying the planet.
No better time to watch NBC's "Weather Channel" and see them (as I predicted to family) begin bleating euphemistically about "Warming Trends."

hEY, ALL YOU DOUBTERS OF THE gREENHOUSE EFFECT/GLOBAL WARMING, WE ARE NOW HAVING RECORD HEAT IN THE HEARTLAND AND THE NORTHEAST, WITH MID EIGHTIES FORCAST. April promises to be even hotter, this heat will accelerate glacial melting and increase the water vapor content in the atmosphere.(the leading greenhouse gas)and expose more northern terrain to sunlight. This will in turn add to the melting. Remember snow and ice have an albedo of over 85%, meaning that reflection of sunlight is close to 90%, when you eliminate the ice and snow, warming accelerates. Tornadic effects, summer thunderstorms and hurricanes will be more powerful this year because of hotter ocean waters. Hold onto your hats, homo sapiens, you have sowed the wind, now reap the whirlwind!

Acid Rain is real, there are 500 dead lakes in the Adirondacks courtesy of the copper smelters in Canada and tall smokestacks and 200 million cars on the road. Average PH in the lakes of the Adirondacks is about 4.5-5. WE are actually post peak oil now and no matter how much drilling we do (oil drilling startup and marketing takes decades) the oil supply is drying up and the forcast is for higher prices. Oil prices per barrel is over $106 and it"s over 5.00 a gallon on the West Coast already. Get real, the future is not in SUV's but hybrids and small cars, like in Europe where they know how to live with less! The era of cheap oil is over!
Let me be candid I have never owned a SUV and never will I live in San Francisco, NO parking
I will never own a hybrid I have ridden a motorcycle for over 30 years, btw my motorcycle is as fuel efficient as a hybrid and has less cubic displacement (bottom line my engine is half the size of a hybrid and is equipped with 2 catalectic converters)
My point which you missed is that so called studies are not always accurate , Ehrlic kept revising his dates , and his dire predictions never came true .Acid rain in the 1970 was portrayed as dire, again it never became true, is there acid rain well duh yes but never on the scale it was predicted .
As for Europe I lived there in the 80′s, my engine on my motorcycle was almost destroyed why THEY use leaded fuel long after the US switched. But you are right people don't drive in Europe like we do that's due to taxed being roughly 200% of what they are in the US. I don't really consider that living with less, I consider that government imposed repression.
BTW Are you an oil speculator, you talk like one.

Another wake up call for all you greenhouse effect doubters. Most of the arctic sea ice has melted away, there is now a true Northwest passage over the North Pole. Climate estimates are in broad consensus that by 2050, Norway, Finland and most of Scandinavia will be ice free. The land of Santa Claus will be brown and not white! More than 50% of the world's continental glaciers have melted away. Fly over the Alps lately? Theyre' all brown. The oceans are rising about an average of 3-4 centimeters a year, courtesy of glacial melting. The permafrost in Alaska and parts of Arctic is melting, causing huge problems in earth stability, road conditions, potholes and housing supports. Springtime in the Northern hemisphere has shortened by two weeks in the last 20 years, allowing abnormal (witness last week's 80 and ninety degree temps) warmups and powerful tornadic conditions in the mid-west. Hurricanes, thunderstorms and the amount and strength of tornadoes has doubled and tripled in the last few decades because of increased ocean temperatures and increased and abnormal atmospheric conditions, including weaker or stronger El Ninos or La Ninas. The evidence is getting stronger and stronger every day that Man made climate change is putting us all in deadly peril! Have fun with the New Millenium!
Albert Einstein
Nice try , Vicky. If the evidence for man-made global warming was at all convincing, then why was there a very well known HOAX necessary to fake evidence? Anyone who has bee studying this issue knows about the gigantic fake job of the so-called global warming gang, ringled by the University of east anglia. Gentle readers, look it up for yoursel;f: Nuts like Vickie hav faked every bit of the so called evidence, from scientific papers to faked data that rigs measurements, to phony satellite video and photos. And somehow, the answer ro climate change is alwasys 'More socailism'! You'd have to be retarded to buy into this nonsense…and you'd have to ignore the hunfreds of scientist protesting against the hoax and the stonewalling it entails. Search 'global warming hoax' and you'll find hundreds of scientific facts and data that refute this lie…and protest by many scients, including nobel laureates. Sorry, but climate change is natural and has been happening without human cause for as long as earth has had climate…and the less than 3% of human produces 'greenhouse' gases change that not one whit. The truth is ONE volcanic eruption puts more greenhouse gas and dust into the air than the whole of human history.

I don't genuinely care how or once i get the Letters in the Mail. Every time it arrives, it feels like a letter should be. It's suddenly there in my mail box one particular day. A wonderful, tangible surprise. I'm for you doing whatever you want when you send it. Mix it up for that persons who help get it sent out. Include crumbs from your lunch. Coffee stains. Whatever. Keep the tedious nature of getting letters out to a minimum by doing whatever you feel like that day. The arrival with the letter and the words of your author inside are what matters. Personally, what I like very best about The Rumpus is that I under no circumstances understand what I'll browse that day. Or if there is just not one that day, maybe it's because Stephen couldn't locate anything to say or there was much too much heading on.

Well Su Mon, what seems like a long time ago, only 30 years, I want to wish you all the best for the next phase of your remarkable journey. As a young 1st year graduate, I can recall you were a giant controlling the theatre, although small in stature, you had the best communication skills, although English was a second language, and you transformed learning into fun, although you were not ever trained to teach. My wish for you is health, love and happiness for you and your family, above everything you taught us, I know that means the most to you.

I learnt from Meg Pickard that a heckler was a person who used a heckle to comb jute in Dundee – and how the job was so tedious that employers paid people to read Dundee's radical journalism and all kinds of commentary to the illiterate hecklers, and how that led to hecklers becoming well-informed political radicals who interrupted speakers to ask awkward questions. That's all about the empowering power of ideas and why we should keep our content standards high, and provide the best information we can.

4.19 am. Soldiers used teargas on red shirt protesters at Dindaeng, Bangkok. News of the crack down started to come in. Supporters of the group, in the chat rooms, talked about the frustration that the media paid little attention to their plight. They said a number of them were injurged and some were dead but that the soldiers took away the bodies. Some women heard crying on the Dstation broadcast, belonging to the Red group, that she saw soldiers killed protesters and urged for retaliation. The Red suporters complained bitterly about media not double checking information from the government and the soldiers that the Red supporters filred tear gas at the soldiers which forced soldiers to use real ammunitions on them. Reuter said the soldiers admitted they did shoot the protesters.

Maximizing Aerosol Paint Performance
Naturally, you want to begin by purchasing high-quality aerosol paints. The best aerosols use a higher-quality paint, cover more quickly, and often feature a fan spray nozzle. "You get what you pay for" holds true for aerosols, too. Generally speaking, stick with the more expensive paints sporting brand names you know and trust. These will cost you anywhere from $5 to $10 per can, but are well worth the investment.
There is usually a reason why the $1 to $2 cans are so inexpensive. They tend to be thinner paints that run very easily, and thus do not cover very well. You'll most likely need additional coats to obtain the same coverage as you would obtain from one pass of a more expensive, high-end brand. In the long run, inexpensive brands translate into significantly more effort with a similar expense as you would have incurred had you begun with the better aerosol in the first place. Even then, you probably will not achieve the same caliber of results.
Please keep in mind we are not condemning all inexpensive aerosol paints, but it has been our experience that a general statement may be made about them. It is recommended that you keep in mind the results you are striving to achieve. The better the result you expect, the greater your investment is likely to be. Of course, be sure to read and follow all manufacturer label instructions and precautions.
The importance of proper preparation cannot be overemphasized. This is the step most likely to be overlooked, yet it is critical to the quality of the end result. Following most label instructions involves one or more of the following cleaning steps:
Stripping the Existing Coating
- Remove the previous coating with a 5" Cleaning Disc, 7" Cleaning Disc, wire wheel, or by abrasive blasting.
- Remove any corrosion with Eastwood Fast Etch. If you removed the previous coating via abrasive blasting, then you can remove the corrosion with this method as well. If the rust can still not be removed, refer to the Priming Over Surface Rust section below.
- Thoroughly clean the part with PRE Painting Prep, Eastwood Metal Wash, or repeated wipes with lacquer thinner or acetone.
Painting Over An Existing Coating
- If the previous coating cannot be easily removed, test by cleaning a small area and apply the new finish over the old. Determine if any unfavorable reaction or undesired look has occurred. If you can live with the results, make sure that the old paint is solid, and free of any dirt, silicone or oil. Next, scuff the part with 320-grit sandpaper to allow for greater adhesion of the new finish to the old.
- Spot-prime low spots (a chip or drop in the metal) and any part of the surface which may be bare. Sand with 320-grit sandpaper to assure a smooth, even surface. (Be sure to test the primer for compatibility with the surface you'll be painting. Look for an unfavorable reaction such as wrinkling or lifting.)
The application of a primer coat prior to the final finish is recommended for most paints. Primers are designed to enhance the final finish's durability and adhesion to the stock.
Priming Over Surface Rust
- Remove any grease, wax or oil contaminants from the surface to be painted with PRE Painting Prep, Eastwood Metal Wash, or repeated wipes with lacquer thinner or acetone.
- Use a wire brush to remove loose rust.
- Apply two medium coats of Rust Encapsulator, either with a brush or spray.
- Allow the Rust Encapsulator application to dry for 36 hours if an enamel paint is to be applied; 72 hours if a lacquer-based finish is to be applied.
- After the proper drying time, scuff the surface with a 320-grit sandpaper.
Priming Bare Metal Surface
- Remove any grease, wax, or oil contaminants from the surface with PRE Painting Prep, Eastwood Metal Wash, or repeated wipes with lacquer thinner or acetone.
- Apply primer where not expressly prohibited. We suggest using Eastwood Self-Etching Primer.
Please note: Eastwood Self-Etching Primer is NOT recommended for use on surfaces that will reach temperatures above 180°F, nor as a primer for Eastwood's Chassis Black Aerosol Paint.
Be sure you are working in a well-ventilated area. It's generally best to apply aerosols at a room temperature of between 65-95°F. The optimum humidity level is below 50%. Painting in higher humidity can cause the paint to "blush", a condition caused when moisture in the air condenses on the paint as the paint is drying.
- Shake the aerosol can thoroughly. Usually, one to two minutes of vigorous shaking is required to get the contents mixed well enough for applying. You'll know the paint is ready when the mixing ball inside the can begins to easily rattle while you are shaking the can.
- Test spray. Should the can's spray nozzle be clogged, do not attempt to unclog it with a needle. This will likely cause damage to the nozzle, and ruin the spray action. Instead, carefully remove the nozzle from the aerosol can, and soak it in solvent. Lacquer thinners and acetone typically make for good solvents. This will restore the spray head to its original condition. Replace nozzle using a twisting motion to avoid damage to the sealing O-ring.
TIP: Save old aerosol nozzles so that you have a selection from which to choose should you ever need a replacement.
Always have your work set at a height convenient for you. When spray painting, a clothesline works well and will make it easier to for you to attain complete coverage of your workpiece.
- Mask off any areas not to be coated.
- Hold your aerosol can in an upright position whenever possible. Be sure the nozzle is facing the object to be painted, not your face. Depress the nozzle only with the tip of your index finger. Using any other part of the finger may put it in the way of the spray, affecting the spray's pattern. You should also maintain a proper distance between the aerosol can's nozzle and the object being coated. This distance normally is 8" to 12".
- Spray any recessed areas first. The use of delicate, short bursts often helps.
- When coating the rest of the part, keep the nozzle parallel to the surface, using long, steady, even strokes. Keep the can equidistant from the part throughout the process. Don't arc your stroke. Instead, move your entire arm from the shoulder.
- Overlap coats to assure even color density. Overlap each pass by approximately 50% of the total width of the spray. In other words, with each pass, you are covering new surface with 50% of the width of the spray, and the other half of the spray is re-coating what the previous stroke painted. Do your best to not stop your stroke while in the middle of the part. Keep a wet edge by beginning the job at one edge of the part. Spray horizontally to the other side. Begin at the top of the piece and with each pass of the spray, work toward the bottom of the piece.
Follow these steps when you are finished painting.
- Invert the aerosol can, and spray it in a safe direction (into a trash can, for example) until there is no more paint spraying from the can, just air. This action serves to clean the nozzle of any paint residue which would dry and potentially clog the nozzle.
- For maximum shelf life, store all aerosol cans right side up in a warm, dry area. An environment with a temperature of anywhere from 55-85°F is ideal.
- Caution! If water-based aerosol products are allowed to freeze, they may be ruined.
