Re: Nine Inch Nails
Love NIN. Music today NEEDS Trent Reznor. 'Reptile' and the remix of 'Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)' are my current favourites.

Re: Nine Inch Nails
I love Nine Inch Nails. The first and only time I saw them live was in '05 at Madison Square Garden. Queens of the stone age opened for them.
Came back haunted is awesome.
Does it make me bad??
Re: Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails is one of my favorite bands other than KoRn!! I just saw them for the first time on November 9th, and will remember that day for the rest of my life! I also pre-ordered the new CD awhile back, and memorized the lyrics of every song in a day...their new songs are a little different, but I love it!
Re: Nine Inch Nails
I'm loving the new album. I have seen NIN about 5 times and the tours always get better and more intense every time!! Love how Trent brought back the roots to hesitation marks AMAZING!! One of my next tats will be a nine inch nails one for sure to add to my collection of band tats !!

The performance demanded of current smartphones and tablets is increasing at a much faster rate than the capacity of batteries or the power savings from semiconductor process advances. At the same time, users are demanding longer battery life within roughly the same form factor. This conflicting set of demands requires innovations in mobile SoC design beyond what process technology and traditional power management techniques can deliver.
The usage pattern for smartphones and tablets is dynamic: Periods of high processing intensity tasks, such as gaming and web browsing alternate with typically longer periods of low processing intensity tasks such as texting, e-mail and audio.
Innovative power savings techniques are required to sustain the dramatic pace of performance increases in mobile platforms while preserving and increasing the power efficiency and battery life.
big.LITTLE Processing
ARM big.LITTLE processing is designed to deliver the vision of the right processor for the right job. In current big.LITTLE system implementations a 'big' ARM Cortex™-A15 processor is paired with a 'LITTLE' Cortex™-A7 processor to create a system that can accomplish both high intensity and low intensity tasks in the most energy efficient manner. For example, the performance capabilities of the Cortex-A15 processor can be utilized for heavy workloads, while the Cortex-A7 can take over to process most efficiently majority of smartphone workloads. These include operating system activities, user interface and other always on, always connected tasks.
By coherently connecting the Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 processors via the CoreLink™ CCI-400 coherent interconnect, the system is flexible enough to support a variety of big.LITTLE use models, which can be tailored to the processing requirements of the tasks.
The central tenet of big.LITTLE is that the processors are architecturally identical. Both Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 implement the full ARMv7A architecture including Virtualization and Large Physical Address Extensions. Accordingly, all instructions will execute in an architecturally consistent way on both Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7, albeit with different performances. The implementation defined feature set of Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 is also similar. Both processors can be configured to have between one and four cores and both integrate a level-2 cache inside the processing cluster. Additionally, each processor implements a single AMBA® 4 coherent interface that can be connected to a coherent interconnect such as CoreLink CCI-400
Future Implementations
In a similar fashion, the ARMv8 architecture-based Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 processor can also be implemented in a big.LITTLE configuration. In this case, the processors will be connected by the CoreLink CCN-504 coherent interconnect that enables a fully-coherent, high-performance many-core solution that supports up to 16 cores on the same silicon die.
Real World Performance Metrics
Energy savings of 50 percent for moderately intense workloads like web browsing, and savings of up to 70 percent for background workloads like mp3 audio playback have been measured. These measurements compare the average power consumption of a big.LITTLE system with a system with only the big processor, under full DVFS power management and core idle policies in each case.
These results were initially measured on test silicon and have recently been replicated on partner silicon across a range of typical mobile workloads. The software changes to take advantage of big.LITTLE are typically done in the OS kernel scheduler and are completely transparent for the application running on that OS.

It was some 40 years ago that factory performance died. Big-blocks with 454 cubes made 245 net horsepower, Corvettes would come in California with 165-horse 305s, and the thinking then was never again would real muscle cars be found new in showrooms.
As it turns out, the situation was only temporary. Around 1983, the rumblings of V-8 performance were again starting to be heard. Chevy came out with the 305 H.O. Camaro, Ford with the 302 H.O. Mustang, and the '84 Vette had a "whopping" 205 ponies and could run an honest 140 mph in high gear.
By the end of the '80s, the Tuned Port Corvettes could run high 13s in the quarter and top out at over 150 mph. The '90s saw the introduction of the LT1-powered fourth-gen Camaros, and when the LS1 V8 appeared in '97 all bets were off. Chevy itself advertised the C6 Corvette as having a top-speed of 186 mph--this would have been considered heresy in the dark days of the '70s, when smog and fuel economy regulations took control of the auto industry.
Today, you can go into a showroom and order a 580hp ZL1 Camaro or if you are really bucks-up, a 638hp supercharged Corvette ZR1. Roll these numbers around: The bone-stock car you see here made 553 SAE corrected rear-wheel horsepower on our company Dynojet in Tampa--nearly double that of the 427 COPO Camaro we tested about a year prior (288).
Happy days are, indeed, here again.
On our Proform wireless scales, the sinister-appearing ZR1 tipped the scales at a petite 3,220 pounds with just over half a tank of fuel. Is it any wonder that it ran 11.41 at over 126 mph at the track? Frankly, extracting maximum elapsed time was a lot more difficult than we expected, but more on that later. Where this car blew us away was its open road performance. Unlike most exotic supercars, it was as docile around town as an Impala rental. The dual-disc clutch was econobox-light, yet never flinched after about 30 dragstrip passes courtesy of three different drivers. The ZR1 retains all the virtues and vices of every Corvette, including a comfortable ride, excellent outward visibility in all directions, a huge cargo hold, and perhaps the least supportive seats ever bolted into a high-performance automobile. In normal driving, you could hold a conversation at regular voice levels.
It took us almost three years to convince Chevy to lend us a supercharged ZR1. These are fearsome machines and not recommended for those short on talent and long on courage. But our week finally came and once we had it we managed two dragstrip flings, an afternoon on a road course, and (of course) laid black stripes from here to Gainesville and back.
Stomp on the throttle, however, and all hell breaks loose. Like a Tri-Power big-block of old on skinny bias-plies, you damn sure better be pointed straight when you floor it. Despite all that rubber out back, the LS9 powerplant wants to annihilate the race-ready tires in First, Second, and Third. Once you have traction, the supercharged 6.2-liter engine will take you as fast and you've got the guts to go. It just never stops pulling. Trust us, it accelerates as hard at 160 as most performance cars do at 60.
Our test vehicle had a base price of $111,525 and three option packages that brought the sticker to $128,970 (plus $975 destination). The Premium Equipment Group accounted for a robust 10 grand that (leather-wrapped interior, nine-speaker Bose music system, adjustable (heated) sport bucket seats, nav, and power telescoping steering wheel (among other things). The Centennial appearance package tacks on $4,950, and then there's the quizzically named ZR1 Performance Package for $1,495. Yes, in a similar vein to the ZO6 with the ZO7 option, you can buy a ZR1 ZR1. For the extra dough, you get a short-throw shifter, revised close-ratio gears in the trans, the ultra-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup DOT-legal road race tires, Cup-style wheels in black, plus a black (rather than body color) spoiler.

Combination fish medication with two powerful ingredients for effective treatment against Ich. Safer than other medications for scaleless fishes as well as catfish and tetras. Controls Ich and a wide range of external freshwater protozoan diseases including white spot disease, Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, as well as, saltwater external parasites such as Cryptocaryon and Amyloodinium. Also treats fungal infections in fishes. Contains formaldehyde and a zinc-free chloride salt of malachite green. For use in aerated fresh and saltwater aquariums. Not recommended for use in aquariums containing invertebrates (Mormyrids and freshwater stingrays may also be adversely affected by Rid·Ich+). 4 oz doses 240 gallons. 16 oz doses 960 gallons. Sorry, not available in California.
Please click on "More Information" for directions for use.
|Contains: Formaldehyde (11.52% formalin) U.S.P. grade 4.26% and premium quality zinc-free chloride salt of malachite green 0.038%. Made in the U.S.A.
Suggested Treatment Procedures
Treatment of Freshwater and Saltwater External Parasites
Treatments may be repeated as often as every 6 hours (depending upon the severity of the particular disease and the tolerance of the diseased fishes). Treatment should be repeated no less than every 24 hours (see Step #3) and continued for at least 3 days beyond the disappearance of all signs of disease.
Typical treatments of freshwater ich will be six to seven days long (meaning six to seven partial water changes followed by re-dosing of Rid·Ich+). The actual time necessary will depend upon the particular disease, the degree to which the fish are affected, and how early the disease is detected and appropriate treatment started. Note: Failure to properly diagnose a given disease and failure to start appropriate treatment early enough will often result in the death of some or all of the diseased fishes.
After treatment, make a 40% water change.
Some situations may warrant the transfer of the affected fishes to a separate quarantine tank. If you elect to follow this procedure, the original aquarium or pond should remain devoid of any fishes for a period of not less than 4 days to ensure that any remaining parasites have expired. Carefully inspect the fishes prior to returning them to the original aquarium or pond to ensure that all signs of the infestation are gone.
Purposes and Benefits
Rid·Ich+ is recommended as the best treatment for Ich (white spot disease). Efficacy is improved and the treatment time is often reduced when compared to treatment with either malachite or formalin alone. Additionally, the Rid·Ich+ formula utilizes the less common but also less toxic chloride salt of malachite green (this is the same salt used in Kordon's Malachite Green).
The Rid·Ich+ combination in this formulation is relatively non-toxic for fishes, but may not be tolerated by certain invertebrates, when used as directed. It may be used for the treatment of "scaleless" fishes.
Be aware that some mormyrids (i.e. elephant noses) and freshwater stingrays may be adversely affected by Rid·Ich+. Rid·Ich+ is not recommended for use in aquariums containing invertebrates and may cause severe stress or death to certain species of these animals. If Rid·Ich+ must be used in aquariums containing invertebrates, tests should be performed to determine a particular animals' tolerance to this medication.
As with any medication, caution should be exercised whenever utilizing a chemical for the first time on a species of fish for which its tolerance is unknown. Always terminate treatments early (with partial water changes or filtration with granular activated carbon) if signs of undue stress occur. Do not treat fishes, which cannot be directly observed during treatment.
Rid·Ich+ is stable indefinitely in solution. It must be stored above 50°F (10°C) to prevent product precipitation. Do not freeze. Do not use Rid·Ich+, or any product containing formaldehyde that has been frozen. Keep tightly closed when not in use to prevent loss of formaldehyde.

Filmmaker Tanaz Eshaghian explores the proliferation of gender reassignment surgery in a society where homosexuality is punishable by death in this documentary that ponders the extreme measures taken by gay Iranians who risk execution if the truth about their sexuality is uncovered. In Iran, to be homosexual is to live in fear. Yet despite the fact that homosexual men and women in Iran risk their lives simply by revealing their sexual preferences, the fact that prominent sex-change surgeon Dr. Bahram Mir-Jalali performs more gender reassignment surgeries in one year than the entire country of France does in one decade offers telling insight into a culture that accepts both genders though refuses to acknowledge any gray area in between. For an emerging generation of men and women who are forced by theocracy to deny their true selves, this drastic transformation provides the only hope for survival.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

DESTIN — Patti Terjak isn't putting out the welcome mat for her potential new neighbor: a strip club likely to be called The Runway.
Terjak isn't alone. More than 60 people opposed to the business gathered at the Funky Blues Shack last week to talk about their options, or lack thereof.
Calling themselves Destin Residents Against the Adult Cabaret (DRAAC), the group is looking to attract momentum and stymie the Atlanta-based developers.
The two-story building at 908 Airport Road that could house the strip club is visible from Terjak's house, but she learned of the plans only recently.
Terjak — a longtime Destin resident, business owner and mother — found out about it when a television crew armed with cameras and microphones came to her door to ask her opinion.
Her opinion? "I would rather the city rezone it somewhere more commercial, somewhere it isn't visible from a neighborhood, on (U.S. Highway) 98 or somewhere," Terjak said.
Carmen Stiles, who lives in Kell-Aire Gardens, agrees that a more commercial location would be better.
"I realize that some people don't want this to come to Destin at all. I just don't want it next door," Stiles said.
The proposed adult cabaret returned to the headlines after last making waves in 2009. That's when businessman Terry Stephenson battled Destin in court to have topless dancing allowed at The Oasis on Mountain Drive.
After mediation, The Oasis was prohibited from having topless dancing, but in return Destin was forced to allow adult entertainment in areas zoned for industrial use.
Stephenson was shot and killed in 2010 outside of a strip club he ran in Atlanta, but documents indicate his associates are behind the current effort.
At the residents' meeting, some people suggested re-forming the Kell-Aire Gardens homeowners association in the hope that having a more formal neighborhood alliance would help in the fight.
Kelly Haeusler, a veterinarian whose office is on Airport Road, said she realizes there may not be any way to keep the club from opening next door to her clinic, but she wants the community to know about it either way.
Haeusler raised the issue of parking. Haeusler noted that for a building of that size (more than 5,000 square feet) serving alcohol, it must offer a certain number of parking spots. That could mean a smaller building, which could make the overhead too high in the long run.
"According to city ordinances, they have to provide a certain number of access lanes, stacking lanes, fire lanes and buffer lanes," Haeusler said. "There just isn't enough parking there."
DRAAC members have formed Facebook.com/groups/DRAAC to keep the community aware of what's going on. The next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Funky Blues Shack.
The group also has created an online petition at change.org and linked it to their Facebook page. By Friday morning, it already had 200 signatures.
Shane Cannon, a Realtor and real estate developer, said urgency is needed if anything is to be done.
"Make a lot of noise," Cannon told the crowd at the meeting. "The city can and will still hear your opinions, but you have to share them — quickly."

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.

I didn't realize it was out so soon, I may have to go and pick it up. Hopefully it does not suffer from the annoying always-online DRM that the PC version suffers from. It was a great game when I played through it on the PC, but local coop looks amazing!!
Anyone else going to be picking this up?

Animal sculptures can provide a fun, nature-themed facet to any garden. The popularity and natural beauty of animals also makes statues of lions, zebras, cute bears and other types of wildlife an easy marketing investment for hotels, restaurants, and other types of businesses. Improvements in resin sculpting materials have made it easier for sculptors to demonstrate their talents and ability to craft highly realistic, detailed statues of animals and bronze continues to be an excellent medium for animal sculptures. Some of the most interesting of animal sculptures are done in bronze and add a unique dimension to the backyard by blending the ancient sculpting technique of the lost wax method with the beauty of a rich brown, copper alloy.
Put bronze sculptures of crabs in the garden and watch the reactions of your guests as they admire the realism shown by these beautiful metal statues. These fine sculptures look just like the crabs we see at the beach and in tidal pools, and like those crustaceans, they are ready to defend your flowerbeds with raised, open claws.
Compliment those crab sculptures with a beautiful, realistic bronze turtle statue. This wonderful bronze garden statue shows the same richly textured shell, legs, and head as an actual turtle and can also be used as an outdoor garden water fountain.
Buy these beautiful statues and any of the other bronze garden statues in our collection by the end of today, August 7th, and enjoy a 20% discount!

Building Instructions for Spitting Llama
On the LEGO MINDSTORMS news page, Fay Rhodes has building instructions for a spitting llama, made with the NXT 2.0 kit, pictured in the top photo above. (Photo by Dave Parker).
Included in the instructions is a "Beyond-the-Box" segment, discussing creative ways to make your own animal creations. The link is here.

Nicely done... but Fay, do llamas really spit? I've heard that about camels...
Love the furry one...

Llamas do spit.
US readers may remember an episode of "Dirty Jobs" when the host, Mike Rowe, was the victim of a spitting attack by an annoyed llama. (Rowe survived).

Fay, very nice!
Also the Building instructions are pretty good (and I like the "beyond Box" appendices).
Are you planning to publish a movie of the Llama in action?

And this is another occasion when I wished TLG would offer its News page also in other languages than just in English - many readers of my German NXT Blog will not be able to read them without help (and, honestly, those News entries are not that frequent that it couldn't be done with a reasonable effort).

A point well taken about the need to translate LEGO news sites into German. (If memory serves, LEGO sells more products per capita to Germany than to any other country).
LEGO will soon feature another of Fay's models, complete with building instructions, on a German-speaking site. More details to come...

My 9yr old son built the Spitting Llama today out of the NXT1.0 kit adn a zamar (sp?) shooter from the LEGO Mobile Devastator kit. The battery is charging and he's starting to program!
Let the spit fly!
And we will all finish up by reading about Llamas and finding where they live on the globe and hopefully find some fun youtube llama videos. We've seen the Dirty jobs episode as well.
(geography, animal behavior, visual spatial skills, logic skills, patience, fine motor skills) - what toy gives you all that? LEGO NXT!

Microsoft talks the future of Windows 8
Windows 8, in the words of Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky, is "a bold reimagination of what Windows could be".
This latest big move for Microsoft, as heralded at the Build developer conference in Anaheim, ranges from the chipset changes, to the experience for new capabilities, uses, scenarios and form factors. And with 450 million copies of Windows 7 now running on traditional keyboard-and-mouse-driven PCs, Windows 8 isn't just the touch-first, Metro UI, tablet app and the live tile Start screen experience: it's the familiar desktop as well. Like Windows 7? Then Sinofsky is convinced you'll like this more.
"Windows 8 makes Windows 7 even better. All of the things we did in Windows 7 to make a great operating system, they're all there in Windows 8 and they all get better; not just a tiny bit better but we've thought out everything and how we could make it dramatically better."
Well, we didn't expect them to say they'd made things worse.
Despite tablet sales surging, the keyboard and the mouse - and the desktop apps that need them - aren't going away (at least on PCs using x86 processors), according to Windows experience leader Julie Larson-Green, they're not, and indeed there's no plan for them to any time in the future. She told Pocket-lint:
"There's no time frame for the end of the desktop; not as long as people need dense, powerful apps that they can use with high precision and, when you're using a mouse, you have a lot more precision. It's like a surgeon having many different types of knives for the different things they do"
But touch will be one of those tools for everyone, Sinofsky believes. His gushing promises in the Build keynote that "once you try it, it turns out you just never want it to go away" and the claim that "you'll have fingerprints all over your monitor" on even non-touch devices are testament to that. For CEO Steve Ballmer, though, the beauty of the dual approach software is more about business pragmatism.
"The brilliance of the Windows 8 strategy," says Ballmer, "is that we get all of the applications that come from Windows on x86, as well as all the applications that have gone through the process of rethinking how they might work in a Windows 8 world."
The only stumbling block is that rethinking those apps is not just about the look of Metro but the technical underpinnings as well. Microsoft will need a critical mass of app developers to commit to touch in a way that they simply haven't to the Windows Phone 7 platform. With Microsoft's lead product though, it should be a different story.
"Apps are at the centre of the experience for the customer," says Larson-Green underlining their proximity to the heart of Windows 8.
"We started by looking at the things people are trying to do that no operating system has solved for them today. Think of all the websites with all the social network icons at the bottom. There's a need for developers to connect apps together that no one has been working on so we took that into our process. There are large numbers of people building their own storage for apps, their own notifications, their own update messages. We thought we could move the experience forward."
Of course, there's more to Metro than just social networking and, indeed, more than the needs of the consumer. One of the apps in the developer preview is a Metro version of Remote Desktop for logging into PCs over the Internet. Building PCs that work for both consumers and businesses is a virtuous cycle, and a serious business advantage as far as Ballmer is concerned.
"It is important, essential, to pioneer in the consumer market, and yet one-third of personal computers today are sold to enterprises. At the same time, the technologies that are getting proven today at massive scale in the consumer Internet are the same technologies that need to be put into production form for the enterprise customer. That, to me, remains one of the core strengths of Microsoft versus the other guys that we see in the market."
The developer preview tablet Microsoft handed out to developers at Build was a Samsung Core i5 slate. By the time Windows 8 comes out, it will run on ARM tablets with the Metro Start screen. ARM tablets and some future low-power Intel and AMD PCs will also get a new power-saving mode called Connected Standby where the screen and the processor are turned off but the wireless connection stays on to receive important messages and wake the PC up if you get an urgent alert or a VoIP phone call.
That takes a lot of new hardware but they'll have standby that's "measured in days not hours" according to Windows program management director Gabe Aul. And not only will booting and shutting down be fast in Windows 8, reinstalling Windows, if anything goes wrong, will be much easier with new refresh and reset options.
"People are used to a phone where you can hold buttons down do a reset," he says. "We need it to be that easy."
Today, Windows 8 and Windows Phone are very different platforms that share a few things, the obvious one being the Metro interface design.
"The phone and the Metro-style apps [on Windows 8] is a sharing of the concepts," agrees Sinofsky. "But there are also some systems that are the same."
"We've gone through this sequence of steps in sharing code between both Windows and the phone. Windows Phone 7, under the hood, uses the Windows graphics engine. We called it DirectX. The ability on the phone now to use Internet Explorer comes from having shared all of that code. And so today, the Internet Explorer team; every code change they make is a code change that is available to the next release of the phone as well."
Synchronous launches for the application on both mobile and PC systems could well be expected in the future then.
For developers, the Metro-style applications in Windows 8 aren't the same as they'd build for Windows Phone, but they're not completely different. Does that mean Windows 9 and Windows Phone 8 might be the same thing? Microsoft isn't saying anything about long-term plans, but Sinofsky points out that there's more to devices than just the technology platform; there's the question of how you use them.
"The problem is still going to exist that the screen sizes are very different and that drives differences not just in the layout but in the choices you make in the user interface. From a product design challenge, the user interface, the sub-4-inch-and-below screen and, say, a 9-inch-and-above screen are very, very different designs, not just technologies, but very different designs."
Windows 8 has to go from the smallest tablets to the most powerful gaming rigs and high-end workstations; the devices are different but, to Sinofsky, Metro is what ties it all together.
"Metro is not only for 10-inch slate devices, it's for every machine that runs Windows 8. We're not trying to seed a unique [tablet] market. We're trying to seed the market of all Windows 8 devices. A Metro app runs across all the hardware. This is a huge opportunity - the hugest opportunity of any that exist."

Well I guess I was supposed to start here. My name is Kelly, I am 39 and live in Reno Nv. I work for the State of California now 16 years. I have been hunting all my life. First trip to Wyoming was when I was 15. I have been hunting with dad for Deer in the Lander and Kemmer area for the last 4 years. Durring this time I have aquired 4 points and my dad 2 for antelope. This year we are not putting in for deer. Have to save money for a 40th bday hunt. What we do want to do is put in for antelope. Not exactly sure on the points thing.
I know if we dont draw the first choice we keep our points. if I put in for 93 and 66 do you think I will have a chance on my second choice with special hunt as a party of 2

Google+ and Picasa Web Albums: Resharing albums
The people that view your photos will occasionally want to loop in someone else. Once you join Google+, by default all albums can be reshared by people that have access to the album -- those people on the album's 'Shared with' list in Picasa Web Albums. Here's how:
- Name tags: People that you've added to your Google+ circles can add tags to your photos (if they have access). When someone is tagged in a photo, the album will be shared with them. Learn more
- Comments: When someone is mentioned using the '+' or '@' signs in a comment, the post and the album will be shared with them. Learn more
If you'd like to limit your album to just the people you've shared with, you can lock the album in Google+ to disable reshare.
The people that are shared with are also added to the album's 'Shared with' list, meaning they can share your album as well. You can remove access for anyone at any time.

As of late, there is a movement in Pro Touring that has more to do with form than critical function. It is a surgical transformation that involves flaring the wheel openings; a physical change that is alternately referred to as stretched, widened, or fat, where the metal around the opening is pie-cut, expanded, and refinished to resemble the original form. Ultimately, it is icing on the cake. It doesn't necessarily yield more space for the wheel and tire, but it certainly makes the lines of the body flow fantastic, connecting the front of the car with the rear via subtle arches that tacitly mimic the original form but absolutely delineate the stance. Old hands know that such a modification is nothing new and that it was often performed to encapsulate wide wheels and tires in the several decades prior to when narrowed axlehousings and wicked wheeltubs became the acme.
Blu Balz belongs to Karl Dunn, a Tennessean who has experienced a plethora of cars and activities, the most salient being a yen for autocrossing. But that was then. So years fly by and our protagonist realizes that the bug has not left him (will never leave him) and once again demonstrates interest—this time in the Pro Touring regimen. It's got all the facets of the original concept but includes street rubber that is better than the race tires of the period and in diameters ranging from 18 to 20 inches instead of 15-inch standard of old.
Karl had been reading about events like the Motorstate Challenge and the Run To events on pro-touring.com and lateral-g.net. To him, the competition sounded like a great way to run his cars without risking jail. In 2010, he did his first event, the Midwest Muscle Car Challenge, in an '07 Mustang. That was all it took to sink the hook. Last year he did RTMC, Motorstate 3, Heidts, MMCC2, Peachstate, and RTTH 7. He hadn't had so much fun since the old MX days.
The cars that influenced him the most were our own Steve Rupp's Bad Penny and Mark Stielow's Camaro X. He likes Bad Penny because Steve is continually pushing the envelope on what you can do to a Camaro, and because Penny looks so badass. Accordingly, Camaro X demonstrated simplicity and integration of components, like the DSE suspension, the LS7 engine, and simply because Mark's cars appear to have been built in a factory.
When Karl saw pictures of Cris Gonzalez's, owner of JCG Restoration & Customs, own fat-bottom '69 he immediately tumbled for it, his proclivity for fat fenders producing copious drool and profound longing. He told Cris he wanted a piece that was capable of running with the cars that were dominant, specifically the Camaros of Kyle Tucker, Brian Finch, and Steven Rupp. He knew he didn't have their driving skills, but he wanted a car that was competitive with theirs. His plan with the widening was to emulate Bad Penny, but have a more expansive track and be able to run fatter tires. And when he devoured Ben Hermance's rendering, he knew he was on the right track.
Aside from the elegant, understated construction and the one-off billet pieces from JCG, there are other key players here. Ken Whitney from Wire One did all the electrical work; Eric Thorsen at Eric Thorsen Custom Interiors sussed out the closet space; and the mighty Pozzi duo, Dave and Mary, for their considerable insight and hands-on suspension/chassis remediation.

Flight Of Fantasy
In keeping with an annual tradition, Jet Airways celebrated Children's Day with an hour long Flight of Fantasy for underprivileged and special children. Nearly 100 children had the unique opportunity to experience the "joy of flying" aboard a Jet Airways Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft on the hour long flight, operated in support of non-governmental organizations (NGO's) - MAGIC BUS, ASEEMA, Development Education Empowerment of the Disadvantaged in Society (DEEDs) and Muktangan.
Before boarding the special flight, the children were also entertained with music, dance, a variety of games with prizes galore, and a special presentation to educate our young guests on the workings of an airplane. The presence of popular Bollywood actress Sayali Bhagat, who met and interacted with the enthusiastic youngsters, only made the day even more magical for the children.
Like every year, corporate partners such as GE Volunteers turned up in full force in support of this noble cause, while senior Jet Airways cabin crew on board the Flight of Fantasy also volunteered to participate onboard this unique flight on their day off.
Pre-departure lounge refreshments for the children were courtesy Oberoi Flight Services, refreshments served on board were courtesy Taj SATS and fuel for the flight was courtesy Indian Oil Corporation. Route Navigation and Landing charges were waived off by MIAL.

What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a compound that contains one oxygen atom and two nitrogen atoms. Nitrous oxide as a gas is colorless and odorless and has 36 percent more oxygen by weight than air. The English scientist, Joseph Priestly, first identified nitrous oxide in 1772.
One of the main factors that determine how much power an engine can produce is how much oxygen it can draw in during the induction cycle. There are several ways to pack more oxygen into the cylinder: add a supercharger or a larger camshaft, improve flow of the cylinder heads, or add nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is often the easiest method of adding power to your engine.
Nitrous oxide was most probably used for the first time in combustion engines after World War I but was used extensively in piston-driven aircraft by both the Allies and the Axis in World War II.
Nitrous oxide, when compressed to 600 psi at room temperature, becomes a liquid. As nitrous is introduced into the intake tract, the pressure drops and the liquid boils to a gas. When the liquid nitrous changes to a gas, it drops to approximately -129 degrees Fahrenheit.
Performance nitrous systems keep the nitrous in a liquid state until it is near the intake manifold and then inject the gas so that the nitrous is as cold as possible inside the engine. This "supercools" the intake charge. A cooler intake charge packs more air into the cylinder, which also increases power. In general, you will see a 1 percent power gain for every 10-degree drop in inlet air temperature. This is a power gain even before the nitrous gets into the cylinder!
If oxygen is what we are after, why not inject pure oxygen into the cylinder instead of nitrous? Injecting pure oxygen would create such violent, uncontrolled combustion that even small amounts could be catastrophic. With nitrous oxide, the heat of the combustion breaks the chemical bond that holds the two nitrogen atoms and the oxygen atom together. Without heat, the three atoms would remain bonded, and consequently, the oxygen atom would be unavailable to play its role in the combustion process. This is why inhaling nitrous is dangerous, leading to fatal asphyxiation, even though it has a higher oxygen content than air: Your body cannot produce the heat necessary (approximately 565 degrees Fahrenheit) to break the bond between the nitrogen and the oxygen, leaving the oxygen unavailable for respiration. Since the ignition process must start before the oxygen from the nitrous can be released, the net affect is a more controlled release of oxygen and a stable combustion process.
The optimal air/fuel ratio for complete combustion of gasoline is 14.7:1 (commonly referred to as the stoichiometric ratio). However, gasoline engines produce the best power at an air/fuel ratio of 12.5:1-13:1. Because nitrous is more oxygen-rich than air, the chemically correct air/fuel ratio becomes 9.65 parts of nitrous to 1 part of fuel (9.65:1). Additional fuel beyond 9.65:1 should be added to make maximum power and to prevent detonation (an air/fuel ratio of 8.0:1-8.2:1).
That means when oxygen-rich nitrous is introduced to an engine, additional fuel must also be supplied in order to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. Without the additional fuel the mixture would become dangerously lean-circumstances that will almost always lead to severe and expensive engine damage.
Nitrous Systems
Nitrous is stored in a bottle, which should be mounted in the trunk area or somewhere out of the driver's compartment. It is then transferred to the engine compartment via a stainless braided high-pressure line to the engine compartment.

Are you going to get new stock in on these? Or even new colors? I know b.ella offers a bunch of colors in this sock y'all don't carry, it's why I tried to order them from somewhere else and got scammed :| lesson learned, haha
Is the Dijon similar to light mustard in color?
Can you describe the "cocoa rose" colour?
Any idea what the leg warmers are in the Merlot display picture, or better yet, where they can be bought? Because I'm completely in love with them.
I have been told that this company makes these socks in white and off white, but have been unable to find them. My wife would really like these in white or off white. Any chance you know where or how to get a couple of pair in white or off white?
You mention Royal in your description, but it is not on the list of colors. Is it an oversight or is it now discontinued?
Has the dijon color been discontinued?
my calf is 23 inches just below the knee, so it sounds like these wouldn't work for me. the socks that I picked were these, but over the knee. thanks, Jennifer
Just as a general PSA, Sock Dreams continues to be the best company I've ever had the pleasure of buying from. They're amazing.

How Unions Are Getting Their Groove Back
Yesterday—April 24th—was a red-letter day in the annals of worker mobilization in post-collective-bargaining America. In Chicago, hundreds of fast-food and retail employees who work in the Loop and along the Magnificent Mile called a one-day strike and demonstrated for a raise to $15-an-hour and the right to form a union. At more than 150 Wal-Mart stores across the nation, workers and community activists called on the chain to regularize employees' work schedules. And under pressure from an AFL-CIO-backed campaign of working-class voters who primarily aren't union members, the county supervisors of New Mexico's Bernalillo County voted to raise the local minimum wage.
The Chicago demonstration, which began in the dawn's early light of 5:30 a.m., included workers at McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, and Subway, as well as Macy's, Sears, and Victoria's Secret, all of whom make the state minimum wage ($8.25) or just slightly more. Roughly one-third of the jobs in Chicago are low-wage, and more than half of the city's low-wage workers are older than 30. The demonstration was organized by the Workers Organizing Committee of Chicago, which formed to demand a living wage for the city's retail and fast-food workers.
The "Workers Organizing Committee" is a name with a pedigree. Shortly after the National Labor Relations Act was passed in 1935 and a number of unions broke away from the AFL to organize the factory workers whom the AFL had refused to organize, the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC) formed to build union support among employees of U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, and the other major companies in the industry. Following the wave of sit-down strikes in auto factories that led to the recognition of the United Auto Workers, the major steel companies signed a contract with the SWOC. The committee later changed its name to the more familiar United Steelworkers.
Just as the steel workers piggy-backed on the auto workers, so Chicago's low-wage workers are following a course laid out by their counterparts in New York, where hundreds of fast-food workers also staged a one-day strike earlier this month.
Though the Service Employees International Union aided in the New York and Chicago efforts, this is anything but a conventional union-organizing campaign. With collective bargaining in the private sector all but a dead letter—just 6.6 percent of private-sector employees are union members, and the legal obstacles to organizing new members grow steadily steeper—SEIU is one of several major unions shifting their focus to actions that publicize the economic and social costs of ever-growing low-wage employment.
With the backing of the United Food and Commercial Workers, thousands of Wal-Mart employees have formed an association—not a union seeking a contract—that works alongside community activists to pressure the company to make changes such as regularizing workers' hours. The AFL-CIO is expanding its Working America program, which has successfully mobilized non-union working-class voters to back progressive candidates at election time, to all 50 states. The union is expanding the program's reach beyond the ballot box too, experimenting with projects that would activate Working America members in workplace-related causes and wage-related legislation. Working America has 112,000 members in New Mexico, recruited, as is Working America's custom, through a door-to-door canvass. It has lobbied successfully for minimum-wage hikes in both Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.
None of these undertakings, at least for now, would result in collective bargaining agreements—the deficient state of workers' rights under current law make that a bridge too far. But, there are ways these efforts could yield improvements in pay and working conditions nonetheless.
Cities can enact living-wage ordinances for workers in particular industries or in particular locations, as some Los Angeles-area cities have for workers in the hotel industry. States can raise their minimum-wage levels. And while such reforms might prompt, say, a low-wage manufacturer to move to a lower-wage region, they're not likely to prompt relocations of businesses in the service, retail, or food sectors. Such campaigns have a more immediate benefit too: They organize workers who would likely have no prospect for on-the-job improvements if unions confined their interests to traditional union organizing. At a time when nearly 19 in 20 private-sector workers don't belong to union, these drives also have the potential to reconnect the nation's battered labor movement to a multitude of workers they won't plausibly claim as members for many years, if ever. That's not easy for unions: They're committing to spending their members' dues on campaigns that won't produce more dues-paying members, at least, not for quite a while. But since the number of conventional organizing campaigns yielding more dues-paying members continues to shrink— and the hurdles to traditional organizing continue to grow—some unions are moving toward a more generalized working-class organizing, completely outside the framework of the National Labor Relations Act. What happened in Chicago, in New Mexico, and at Wal-Marts around the country today looks more like what unions did before the NLRA was enacted, when proto-unions called themselves "organizing committees," when no one knew what the future of labor relations looked like but when many believed that labor relations in their current state would never produce a just and prosperous economy.

The "black hole theory" of the minimum wage:
Physicists theorize that inside a black hole the laws of physics breakdown. When the minimum wage falls far enough below what the market would bear the laws of supply and demand breakdown. Doubling today's federal minimum wage should lead to a disproportionate explosion of demand for the goods of minimum to median wage paying employers.
If we cut today's minimum to median wages in half that wouldn't help McDonald's or Wal-Mart, would it? This wage cut must already have taken place when we would need to triple today's minimum wage to catch up with doubled productivity since 1968 (almost quadruple the early 2007 minimum wage -- the median wage stagnated as productivity doubled too).
Doubling today's minimum wage to $15 an hour would add 50% to Wal-Mart's wages but only 5% to Wal-Mart's prices – 100% to McDonald's wages but 33% to McDonald's prices. $15 an hour being today's median wage, half the workforce would get raises percentage multiples of pass through price increases.
This win-win effect could not go on forever. At $30,000 a year consumers would buy a lot more fast food and retail items than they will at $15,000 a year – hugely pent-up demand. Going from a $30,000 year minimum wage to $40,000 would raise prices (3% at Wal-Mart; 11% at McDonald's) but not add much to demand – though some people would have more money to spend -- a wash? Somewhere in between is the edge of the black hole.

"Doubling today's minimum wage to $15 an hour would add 50% to Wal-Mart's wages but only 5% to Wal-Mart's prices – 100% to McDonald's wages but 33% to McDonald's prices. "
Wal-Mart's profit is about 3%, and (similarly) McDonald's is far less than 33%. Either they go out of business or they'd learn to do without all that expensive labor.
"At $30,000 a year consumers would buy a lot more fast food and retail items than they will at $15,000 a year – hugely pent-up demand."
My teenager doesn't work full time, and I'd rather have her learn from working min-wage that she doesn't want to work at min-wage.

ddrew2u's post makes some dubious assumptions; Walmart and similar businesses (allegedly due to Obamacare, but I am sure other factors are involved) have almost completely eliminated the full-time job, so even if a $15/hr. minimum wage is foisted upon them, workers will only make $300/wk. because their hours will be cut back. I see restaurant chains are doing the same. My local big box always has a "now hiring" sign up, but cashiers that I know tell me that the personnel managers won't increase an existing associate's hours, forcing them to either get a second part-time job (neither of which will get them insurance), or be on the look-out for a better-paying job.

Unions are dead dead dead and a few little stories aren't going to change that. Unions are a failure that have brought nothing but misery to the American worker, people and economy. They seek to raise their wages to a point beyond what the free market will grant them. The end result is always the same: the bankruptcy of any company that is unionzed as non union companies take advantage of the wage differential.
Unions destroyed the American auto industry. Raised the prices consumers had to pay for cars beyond all reason and then they wanted to be paid to read magazines. The end result is that the Obama-Bush administration bailed them out with taxpayer money so the poor waitress, who already had to pay three thousand more for a car, got a bill in her taxes.
The only ones left are in the government sector but even there, where their political bosses are more interested in votes than economics, their prospects are dismal. Why? Because higher wages have to be paid out of higher wages. When someone can figure out where Illinois is going to get the money to pay their pensions is anybody's guess but it will mean massive cuts in government services and higher taxes to boot. The people will flee and the death spiral will come.
No wonder everyone hates the unions.

These comments by me are as stupid as the article . I have a brother-in-law also named Harold . He is in fact a rocket scientist . I'm not making that up. Smart guy , but completely blind to everything important going on around him. Utterly sure of his approach at being a father he missed the trouble his son was in and when he finally opened his eyes his son had dropped out of high school and you can imagine the rest. What is it with these Harold's ? Why do they live in a world of fantasy ? Fast food workers on strike in Chicago is a more indicative trend than falling union membership in Wisconsin ? I'm happy to say my name is Surfdog not Harold

Harold Meyerson is living in a fantasy world. Unions will never be what they once were, when heavy industry and skilled trades were dominate factors in the workforce. Unions are ill-suited to the low skilled, easily replaceable employees in the retail and many service sector market. Besides, as jgower noted above, most of those jobs are part time due to government mandates. With the implementation of Obamacare more of them will become part time.

Looks like union groups are moving away from the strategy of forming and adding new unions and towards bringing in different groups of workers to simply improve overall job quality.
They also seem to be going "Hey, these workers aren't forming a union. They just want to use their position to ask for decent wages and benefits." It's akin to saying "Don't like Pizza? Okay, well how about some baked dough with sauce, cheese, and maybe some pepperoni?" Strangely, that strategy can be effective.

London saw a huge range of A-listers descending last night for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, however, that's not the only reason why some hit the town yesterday and this morning.
Last night Victoria Beckham caused a great commotion after stepping out of the Metropolitan Hotel where she was staying. The fashionista looked chic and stylish (we wouldn't expect anything less) in a black tafetta longsleeved frock and trademark skyscraper heels.
Earlier in the day we spotted Kylie Minogue looking cool and casual in jeans and ballet pumps. She finished off the look with a statement bag.
Katherine Heigl also went for jeans when she stepped out of her hotel yesterday, while Fearne Coton opted for denim on her way into work this morning looking a little bit dishevelled – we can only imagine that this was due too a little bit too much champagne last night at the Glamour Awards.
We just hope Davina McCall's blue shoes weren't too bright for Ms Cotton when she interviewed her this morning ahead of the last series of Big Brother, which launches tonight.

PRLog - Feb. 24, 2014 - RICHMOND, Va. -- Even in the 21st century corporations continue to pay women less because they are women. Last week we learned that General Motors offered their first female CEO a salary 50% less than her male predecessors (the usual female pay discount is only 8%). Since there are no gender discounts for rent, tuition, groceries or any of the myriad things that women purchase, the salary differential is not only unfair, it doesn't make good consumer sense.
At 52% the state of Alabama has the highest concentration of women of any state; Alaska is the lowest at 48%. If we lower the wages, we lower the purchasing power and that simply isn't good for any community.
The Virginia General Assembly has been looking for an opportunity to demonstrate that they are not hostile to women. On February 4th SJ 78 easily passed in the Senate; however the companion bill HJ 12 was never docketed. It now looks like that has changed. On Thursday SJ 78 will be heard in the Elections subcommittee. If passed, the bill will advance to the full Privileges and Elections Committee. Assuming the bill is reported out of committee and advances to the floor and passes, Virginia would have a positive first in its often tempestuous relationship with women.
The Equal Rights Amendment would provide blanket protection to women for all time. The ERA gives teeth to laws like Lily Ledbetter by writing into the Constitution that discrimination on the basis of sex is prohibited and now subject to strict judicial standards.
