DESTIN— Officials announced Thursday morning that the 35th Annual Destin Seafood Festival will be canceled because of Tropical Storm Karen's threat to the Emerald Coast.

Jim Green, chairman of the festival this year, said planners waited until the last forecast was issued Thursday morning to cancel this weekend's festival.
"Rain does not scare us. If it was just a rain storm we'd press on, but this is tropical conditions," Green said. "We can't subject our vendors, patrons and property owners to that. It's something we have to take into consideration.
"This decision has made me physically sick."
Green said festival organizers spent Thursday morning calling the 100 vendors scheduled to attend the event and have posted cancellation notices on the festival's website, Facebook page and on Twitter.
"This is the first time we've encountered weather like this," Green said. "From my recollection, it's the first time in the festival's history. This has consumed our volunteers' lives for the last 10 months."
Destin Mayor Sam Seevers said the economic impact of the cancellation is great.
"This is a huge deal," Seevers said. "I can only applaud those that are in charge of the seafood festival for making the call fairly early. … The impact is going to be big, though. We have hundreds of thousands of people who come here every year."
Shane Moody, president and CEO of the Destin Area Chamber of Commerce, said his office takes calls year-round from people who plan their vacations around the event.
"The economic impact will be felt, I'm sure," Moody said. "I just hate to see one of the unique Destin traditions affected this way. I know cancelling is the last thing they wanted to do, and I feel for them having to make that decision. I know with all the work that goes into this, with volunteers, staff, and the community as a whole, it has to be disappointing for them."
Green said it was unlikely that the festival will be rescheduled. He said there's almost a year of planning and coordination put into each festival.
"It takes us almost 10 months to get to where we are now," he said. "At this time we have no means of rescheduling it with over 100 vendors.
"We're not sure where to go from here. We've never had to deal with a hurricane showing up on our doorstep the weekend of the festival."

Ibis Mummy
Considered sacrosanct, the ibis was connected first with the god Thoth and later with the revered sage Imhotep. Mummified ibises found at cult sites dedicated to Thoth or Imhotep are usually understood as votives deposited by private persons either as offerings to curry favor or as gestures of appreciation for answered prayers. This elaborately preserved ibis bears witness to the extremes to which the ancient embalmers could go in their preservation of an animal. The linen wrappings, some of which have been dyed, are wound in an intricate pattern, while the bronze head attached to the mummy shows exquisite workmanship.

About U.S. Hunger
Closing the Summer Hunger Gap June 30
The Hidden SDG June 26
We live in the world's wealthiest nation. Yet 14.5 percent of U.S. households—nearly 49 million Americans, including 15.9 million children—struggle to put food on the table.
In the United States, hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food, but rather the continued prevalence of poverty. Both issues must be addressed in our continued efforts to help those Jesus called "the least of these" (Matthew 25:45).
The most direct way to reduce hunger in the U.S. is through national nutrition programs. But while food assistance to hungry people is vital, it is not enough.
We as a nation must come together to confront hunger and poverty in the United States.
Use our resources below to learn more about the causes of U.S. hunger, and what we can do to end it once and for all.

I had a corrupted file and needed to reset a download.
I haven't bought anything for months here, so picture my surprise when I went to reset—and could do absolutely squat in terms of finding what I was looking for in the order history.
It is impossible to find *anything* unless you know the exact name of the product.
If it were at least possible to reset things from the order page, at least you wouldn't have to spend hours trawling through the history trying to find whatever was updated along with the product you're using.
Could you please implement an option of sorting by DATE at least?
As it is, I've given up.
I'd given up on Daz as a whole already (And still want my refund for the PC membership as it was originally promised! NOT a store credit.)
Now I can't even find stuff I'd bought over the 10+ years I've been a customer here.
Do you have any idea what it's like having to go through over 150 pages of items?

As we commemorate 20 years of serving our guests and emerging along the way as India's most preferred airline, do join us on our little flight down memory lane as we relive the past and look ahead towards a bright future.
Our chosen brand position of a 'world class airline' was determined with the values of professionalism and warmth, which were also reflected in our product and service delivery to our guests. In our first year of operations, these values were manifest within our mission statement; the introduction of Club Première, a branded business class of international standards; and in the choice of our corporate symbol and brand colours. These core values were built into our brand colours where blue stands for professionalism and yellow represents warmth. Similarly, our chosen corporate symbol—the Flying Sun—was conceptualised as a graphic representation of an aeroplane's tailwings speeding past the sun.
The first Jet Airways flight, which marked the beginning of a new chapter in Indian civil aviation, was also the first time a Modern Generation B737-300 aircraft was being flown in the Indian skies. As the first private operator to introduce the air traveler in India to the reliability and comfort of new technology, Jet Airways challenged and changed the concept of guest satisfaction in Indian civil aviation forever. It was the first of the many milestones to follow.
In the first year we operated 28 daily flights to 12 destinations in India with a fleet of four B737-300 aircraft, leased from Ansett Aviation, Australia. Ansett was also our chosen partner for training our pilots and engineers, thus ensuring that our operations were reliable and that we placed the safety of our guests in the best possible hands. In an effort to set the highest standards in customer service across all functions, we worked with Speedwings, a British Airways subsidiary, to train our staff at all levels. We made investments in hiring the world's best expertise that enabled us to deliver a new and superior air travel experience on the ground and in the air, thereby ensuring that our guests would truly experience the 'Joy of Flying'.
In the air, our guests were provided with the excellent facilities and superior comforts of a modern aircraft with immaculately maintained cabin interiors, comfortable seating, and a young and courteous crew who delivered a full in-flight service comprising hot and cold towels, a welcome drink and delectable meals. Keeping our services impeccable on the ground, we ensured direct flights at convenient timings and the experience of accurate and efficient reservations systems through a tie-up with SABRE, one of the world's best reservation systems. Efficient and polite airline personnel assisted our guests at the airport, ensuring a speedy check-in, reliable on-time flight departures and arrivals, and speedy baggage retrieval. There was no stone left unturned in setting new standards at every step of customer interaction in civil aviation.
The resolve to deliver only the best, the investments and hard work paid off and at the end of our first year there was growing recognition amongst discerning domestic business travellers that Jet Airways was a professional, reliable airline that lived up to its promise of being truly world class.

Welcome to Weddings That Work!
Undoubtedly, the most wonderful function in the life of the couple is their 'Wedding'. As you know, it puts them into a new phase of life. They tie the knot of love and affection and lead a happy and a life of mutual understanding and cooperation and that is 'wedding'. The wedding function is equally an important function for the parents of the bride and the groom. The mother of the bride is an elated person because her loving daughter is getting married. Equally the groom's mother is elated because her family will receive a new entrant; the 'daughter in law'. Obviously, such a great occasion requires meticulous planning.
Take for example an American wedding function. Once the couple decides to tie the knot, normally the parents of both bride and groom would discuss about the arrangements for the marriage. In the normal course, the bride's parents will make all the arrangements for the wedding. Of course, wherever necessary they will seek the advice from the groom's party also. Perhaps, list of things to take care in American wedding can be classified into the following groups:

Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Merit Badges
The procedures for earning and receiving Merit Badges can be found in the Introduction to Merit Badges. Current requirements for all Merit Badges can be found on our Merit Badge Requirements pages. The requirements for all Merit Badges are listed in the 2013 Boy Scout Requirements book (#33216- SKU-616334).
A list of all Merit Badges, with the pamphlet stock numbers, copyright and latest revision dates, and the date of the most recent revision to the requirements is also available.
Age Requirement Eligibility
Merit badges, badges of rank, and Eagle Palms are for boys who are registered Boy Scouts or Varsity Scouts. Any registered Boy Scout or Varsity Scout may earn these awards until his 18th birthday. Any Venturer or Seacout who achieved the First Class rank as a Boy Scout or Varsity Scout in a troop or team may continue working for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks and Eagle Palms while registered as an Venturer up to his 18th birthday.
Varsity Letters and Pins, and the Denali Award
Older Scouts (ages 14 - 18) may participate in Venture Patrols in Boy Scout Troops, or in separate units known as Varsity Scout Teams. In addition to Rank Advancements, members of Varsity Teams may earn a Varsity Letter, and Activity Pins for a series of Sports and "Ultimate Adventures". A list of the sports and activities for which pins may be earned is included on the Varsity Letter page. Members of Varsity Scout Teams that have earned the Varsity Letter may also earn the Denali Award.
Venturing Awards
Members of Venture Patrols within Boy Scout Troops are NOT eligible for Venturing and/or Sea Scouting awards unless they are also registered in a Venturing Crew and/or Sea Scout Ship, and then they may earn those awards only in the Venturing/Sea Scouting units.
Boy Scout Requirements Book
On a regular basis, Boy Scouts of America issues a Booklet, entitled Boy Scout Requirements which lists the current requirements for all Boy Scout Rank Advancements, Merit Badges, and Special Opportunities, and some supporting information. The introduction to these books (on the inside front cover) contains the following, which should be read carefully:
The requirements for rank advancement, Eagle Palms, and merit badges are effective January 1, 2013, through December 2013. The requirements listed in this book are the official requirements of the Boy Scouts of America. However, the requirements on the following pages might not match those in the Boy Scout Handbook and the merit badge pamphlets, because this publication is updated only on an annual basis. These merit badge requirements also appear on the BSA's official website (http://www.scouting.org). The requirements posted on the website will coincide with this publication and will be updated at the same time, only on an annual basis.
If a Scout has already started working on a merit badge when a new edition of the pamphlet is introduced, he may continue to use the same merit badge pamphlet and fulfill the requirements therein to earn the badge. He need not start over again with the new pamphlet and possibly revised requirements.
No council, district, unit, or individual has the authority to add to, or to subtract from, any advancement requirements. For more detailed information, see the Guide to Advancement.
Revisions to rank and/or merit badge requirements
The Guide to Advancement, in section 188.8.131.52, provides the rules regarding how to handle rank advancements when the requirements change. That information (relative to Boy Scout ranks) is as follows:
188.8.131.52 Changes to Requirements
Advancement requirements change from time to time. For Boy Scouting and Varsity Scouting, check the latest annual edition of Boy Scout Requirements. Once a new or revised requirement appears in that publication, which is released each January, any Scout beginning work on his next rank or Eagle Palm must use the new or revised requirement as stated there.
If a new or revised rank or Eagle Palm requirement is first introduced in a reprinting of the Scout Handbook after the January release of the Boy Scout Requirements book, then the Scout has until the following January 1 to decide what to do. He may either continue—or begin work—using the old requirements, or he may switch to—or begin work—using the new requirements. If he chooses to use the old requirements, he may continue using them until he has completed the rank. Sometimes, however—especially for more significant changes—the Scout Handbook, the Boy Scout Requirements book, or official communications from the National Council may set forth a different procedure that must be used and may establish a date by when use of the old requirements must cease.
For handling changes to merit badge requirements, see "What to Do When Requirements Change," 18.104.22.168.
If BSA membership eligibility rules change, and as a result a former member rejoins a BSA program, still as a youth member, then that youth may carry on in the advancement program, picking up where he left off when last he was a member, but not receiving credit for activities while not registered. A former member who is no longer eligible to participate in a BSA program as a youth member due to age, for example, can neither receive credit for completing advancement requirements nor be awarded any advancement-oriented recognition such as ranks or merit badges, etc., that under the rules in effect at the time of his youth membership he was ineligible to earn.
In addition, the 2013 Boy Scout Requirements Booklet has this statement:
The rank requirements in this book are official as of January 1, 2013. If a Scout has started work toward a rank before that date using requirements that were current before January 1, 2013, he may complete that rank using the old requirements. Any progress toward a rank that is begun after January 1, 2013, must use the requirements as they are presented in this Boy Scout Requirements book.
Similarly, the Guide to Advancement, in section 18.104.22.168, covers the rules regarding how to handle merit badges when those requirements change. That information is as follows:
18.104.22.168 What to Do When Requirements Change
The current annual edition of Boy Scout Requirements lists the official merit badge requirements. Once new or revised merit badge requirements appear in this publication, which is released each January, any Scout just beginning work on a merit badge must use the requirements as stated there.
If changes to merit badge requirements are introduced in a revised merit badge pamphlet after the January release of the Boy Scout Requirements book, then the Scout has until the following January 1 to decide what to do. He may continue—or begin work—using the old merit badge requirements and the old pamphlet; or he may switch to—or begin work—using the new requirements and the new pamphlet. Unless it is otherwise stated in the merit badge pamphlet, Boy Scout Requirements, or official communications from the National Council, if a Scout chooses to use the old merit badge requirements and pamphlet, he may continue using them until he has completed the badge.
There is no time limit between starting and completing a badge, although a counselor may determine so much time has passed since any effort took place that the new requirements must be used.
The authoritative source for all merit badge requirements is the current year's Boy Scout Requirements book.
12th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook (34622)
The current edition of the Boy Scout Handbook is the 12th edition, which was issued in the summer of 2009. That book contained new requirements for each rank, which did not officially take effect until January 1, 2010. Scouts working toward ranks in 2009 could use the new requirements, or could continue to use the old requirements, at their option. If a Scout had started work toward a rank before January 1, 2010, using requirements that were current before January 1, 2010, he could complete that rank only using the old requirements. Any progress toward a rank that began after January 1, 2010, must use the requirements as they are presented in the Boy Scout Handbook (34622) or in the Boy Scout Requirements book.
2013 Edition of Boy Scout Requirements (33216 - SKU 616334)
The 2012 edition of Boy Scout Requirements includes changes to the Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle rank requirements, a very minor change to the wording of Joining (Scout) requirement 7, and changes to 21 merit badges (Astronomy, Automotive aitenance, Bird Study, Chess), Citizenship in the Community, Communication, Composite Materials, Dog Care, Emergency Preparedness, Fire Safety, Fishing, Gardening, Hilinh, Home Repairs, Law, Oceanography, Orienteering, Photography, Safety, Wilderness Survival, and Wood Carving), plus the requirements for the 2 new merit badges which were released in 2012 (Kayaking and Search and Rescue). In addition, the Alternate Requirements for Eagle Scout rank were rewritten. The booklet also contains announcements regarding the new Sustainability merit badge, which will become available later in 2013, and the upcoming (January 1, 2014) change to require Cooking merit badge for the Eagle Scout rank.
The list of Merit Badge Pamphlets on the inside back cover lists the most recent publication dates for each of the merit badge pamphlets. That list, with additional information on when the merit badge requirements were last changed, can be found by Clicking here.
The details on all of these revisions can be found at 2013 Advancement Changes
All of the Merit Badge pamphlets were reissued, with new stock numbers, on August 1, 2008. In many of them, the only changes were the addition of color to the pamphlet contents and covers, while others have had major or minor changes to the text and/or requirements. If the copyright date of a new version pamphlet is prior to 2008, the new pamphlet contains the same information as the older edition, and the older edition may still be used. If the copyright date is 2008 or later, the information has changed, and the old pamphlet should not be used.
Earlier Editions
We have prepared analyses of the revisions in the Requirements Books in each year since 1995. These earlier analyses can be found at 2012 Advancement Changes, 2011 Advancement Changes, 2010 Advancement Changes, 2009 Advancement Changes, 2008 Advancement Changes, 2007 Advancement Changes, 2006 Advancement Changes, 2005 Advancement Changes, 2004 Advancement Changes, 2003 Advancement Changes, 2002 Advancement Changes, 2001 Advancement Changes, 2000 Advancement Changes, 1999 Advancement Changes, 1998 Advancement Changes, 1996 Advancement Changes, and 1995 Advancement Changes.

• 2013 CCAA Coach of the Year
• 2012 CCAA Coach of the Year
Jon Pascale is in his eighth season as the head coach of the UC San Diego men's soccer program in 2015.
On Nov. 1, 2012, following the conclusion of a third consecutive winning campaign and fourth in his five years in La Jolla, Pascale was voted by his peers as the first California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Coach of the Year for UCSD in men's soccer. He earned a second straight award in 2013 after the program's most successful showing at the Division II level. Pascale has posted an overall record of 68-40-25 (.605) during his time in charge, including a 51-34-19 (.582) mark in arguably the toughest Division II conference in the nation.
Pascale's 2012 side placed third in the CCAA South Division, falling just one league victory shy of a CCAA Championship berth for the third successive season. His defense ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division II with a conference-record goals-against average of 0.44 and a 0.71 shutout percentage courtesy of 12 clean sheets over 17 matches played. Daktronics All-Americans Alec Arsht and Josh Cohen featured among five Pascale pupils to garner CCAA postseason recognition. Cohen, the national leader in individual GAA (0.397), was the CCAA Most Valuable Defensive Player. UCSD let in only eight goals all year, its lowest total in the Division II era, and maintained separate shutout stretches of 448:05, 503:37 and 409:16.
Despite four straight victories in the 2011 run-in, UCSD came up a mere two points short of the CCAA tournament. At 10-8 overall, Pascale reached the 10-win mark for the second time following his 2008 debut. The Tritons were third in the CCAA South with a 9-7 league ledger.
The 2010 Tritons finished fourth in the CCAA South Division with an 8-6-4 overall record and 8-5-3 mark in conference play. Pascale's squad won five of its last seven matches and went 8-2-2 following a tough start. Senior Jared Kukura earned Daktronics All-America Second Team, Daktronics and NSCAA All-West Region First Team, All-CCAA First Team and CCAA Most Valuable Defensive Player distinction having anchored a UCSD defense that ranked third in the CCAA with a 0.89 goals-against average.
Pascale's tenure got off to a grand start as UCSD reeled off five victories in a row to open the 2008 campaign, ultimately compiling a 10-6-2 record, the program's best since 2005. An even 6-6-2 CCAA mark was good enough for fourth place in the South Division.
Since his arrival, Pascale has produced three Daktronics All-America, seven Daktronics All-West Region, five NSCAA All-West Region, 11 All-CCAA, two CCAA Most Valuable Defensive Player, three Capital One Academic All-District 8 and 39 CCAA All-Academic honorees. His Tritons also picked up an NSCAA Team Academic Award for 2010-11 (3.10 GPA).
Pascale, the seventh men's soccer head coach in school history, joined the UCSD family on Jan. 23, 2008, after stops at three institutions that similarly place a high emphasis on combined academic and athletic success. He spent the 2006 and 2007 seasons as an assistant coach at Stanford University, where he helped put together the Cardinal's 10th-ranked 2007 recruiting class.
That position was preceded by five years at Georgetown University, where he was the associate head coach for the Hoyas. Prior to his time in the D.C. area, Pascale was an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania for three seasons.
Since 2010, Pascale has also served as a scout for U.S. Soccer, concentrating on the Southern California region to identify potential prospects for selection to youth-level national teams.
A college soccer player while attending American University in Washington, D.C., Pascale graduated from the school in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education. He and his wife, Liza, reside in Cardiff, and welcomed their first child, daughter Reagan, just prior to the start of the 2013 season.

I think it is interesting that with all the customs we all do that there is not more contests. No seriously!
WHO DID IT BEST CONTEST with a different character chosen each month and all previous post of said character being put into the contest along with new creations? Example Deadpool Who made the best Deadpool to date?
Bi-Annual TEAM CONTEST Where entries are 5 or more characters on a team from a series say avengers, alpha flight, Xforce, wildcats, Justice league.
Annually there should be a MOST IMPROVED CUSTOMIZER CONTEST to give acknowledgement of those who made the greatest growth and increased ability.
And how about a ULTIMATE CHARACTER CONTEST where a character is chosen and the goal is to see who can make the most perfect version of the character and points are awarded for Originality, Sculpt, Articulation, Paints, and Embodiment of the character. I mean seriously I would love to see someone make the perfect Hulk fig with the right articulation, paint, sculpt and feel of the character. I mean sure the Marvel Select is the right feel but it lacks articulation. Marvel Legends has done 8 or so versions and not one has all the articulation he should have. and a cool way to show oricinality is having multiple heads to swap out along with weapons and maybe even clothes. One hulk fig to rule them all and this could be done in any scale so the same character could come up more than once, just in different scales.
And then there is the question of why not give the winners more than just the kudos for doing great in that contest but ranking them into categories example I think most people would agree that Hunter Knight and Loose collector and Shinobitron and others like them should be judged in a professional class or Iron Customizers and then those who are good but not as good as those aforementioned be ranked apprentice class and the rest of us Amateur class. and to move up you have to win so many contests over time.
Sorry I know I am probably just nuts but I was just thinking about it and I think it would be awesome to do this kind of thing

NXT Gumball Sorter
Elegantly-designed. (The action starts forty seconds into the video).
6 comments:

The "gate" mechanism this uses is a very good way of getting one gumball at a time, plus it saves on the number of motors used. I eagerly await for somebody to start sorting soccer balls, basketballs, and Zamor spheres using a similar mechanism :0)

Would be nice to see in detail how the "gate mechanism" avoids two balls escaping from the balls' store at one time.
Who is the author of the robot?

Sorting Zamor spheres is easy - they are slightly larger, and I've built tracks that sort them 100% (smaller soccer and basketballs fall through, while Zamors roll over). Distinguishing soccer balls from basketballs is much harder with the light sensor, as the soccer balls have a variety of "colors" (they will register as black, white, or some shade of grey, depending on where the line is under the sensor), although with the Hitechnic color sensor it might be easier.
The only reliable way I've seen was originated by the SMART group in Washington state, and involves the brilliant idea of spinning the balls under the sensor, looking for changes in the readings - basketballs are fairly uniform, while soccer balls (*most* of the time) will have a non-uniform reflection (as black lines or white regions rotate under the sensor). I believe it was Dave Shilling and/or Gus Jansen who came up with this method, and it's the only one I've gotten to reliably work.
As to the gate, yes, that is nice. I'd guess the upstream side ends up being a "chamber" or "liftpad" that is only one gumball wide. If there are two (or more likely many more) in line, when that lift pad goes up it only pushes the first gumball in the chain upwards, like the ball release mechanism on my Digicomp II model.
It's a really well-done, elegant example of a robot. The other thing I find fascinating is how it's accumulated over *one million hits* in just a week on YouTube! That in itself is an unheard of hit rate for something with the tags "lego nxt"!!

wow thats all the tags he used? not sure how to check tags used? you are right that is unheard of, and makes it the top viewed of all time for a lego project. guess people love gum!!

>The other thing I find fascinating >is how it's accumulated over *one >million hits* in just a week on >YouTube!
Yes, though it's a nice robot, that's rather ... hm ... surprising.
Considering the usual hit rates even very spectacular LEGO robots get on YouTube (the topic is a somewhat particular part of the universe, after all), it's hard to imagine that in fact so many different people watched the video in such a short time.

I saw your comments regarding the project done by you (gumball sorter). As a mechatronics student I got inspired from your work , and Im interested in doing some projects of my own related to yours . I kindly request you to pass some information regarding the sensor used in it. It will be really helpful for me ,if you kindly do the needful.
Thank you
