During his absence he was dined by Police Justice Edwards and rode tiome in an automo¬ bile with Constable Murray. The boy was walking on Railroad Avenue crying when Justice Edwards found him. "Well, well, well," said tho Justice sympathetically, "what is a big boy like you crying for?" The lad sobbed "Hicks Street" and "my sister" in reply, but dried his tears when the kindly hand rested on his shoulder. James was the guest of Justice Ed¬ wards at luncheon a few minutes later, and during the meal Constable Murray, who was introduced, suggested that the lad had probably been at the De Paul Home. After he had eaten, the constable drove the boy about Freeport and fin¬ ally to the home.—Times.

T«l«pbone ordara promptly daliv n9i. It Village Trustees The Village Hoard met Friday even¬ ing with President Hanse otliciating, with Trustees Bedell, Randall and .My¬ rick in attendance. i'resident Hanae called Edward Rice and stated that Trustee Myrick had reported that the streets were not be¬ ing placed in proper condition after the water pipe had been laid. .Mr. Rice s^tated that they were doing uhat they could and where the ground aet- tled they were re-tilling as soon aa they learned of it. He asked privilege from the water committee to place tees and gates wherever they are needed. He was informed that the water committee would take the matter up. Chief Corot'll complained of the fact that some of the hydrants are still be¬ ing used for watering purposes and that he had been informed by the De- ' partment janitor that repreaentstives ' of the trclley company had used a stil- son wrench on one of the hydrants. It • was decided that hereafter all con¬ tractors must make application to the , Village Clerk, and that the inspector'; be sent out to see that the hydrants are properly used. President Hanse called attention to i the fact that cellar doors are to be placed on the sidewalk at the corner of i Main Street and Merrick Road for the ; new Butler building. It was decided that President Hanse and Trustee Ran- , dall consist of a committee to make a ' thorough investigation and report back to the Board. If it is found that the cellar doors will be a detriment to safety, the matter will be taken up to find if the Village or County is in con¬ trol of the sidewalk. Street Commissioner Sprague report¬ ed tbat he had placed gravel on the fol¬ lowing village highways : Henry Street from the railroad tracks to Merrick Road, South Side Avenue from Main Street to Miller Place, Casino Street from Long Beach Avenue to West Side Avenue, West Side Avenue from Cas¬ ino Avenue to the Village line, 12.') feet on Front Street, Pennsylvania Avenue from the Railroad to Randall Avenue, Church Street, from Archer to Smith Street, and one-half block on Roosevelt Avenue. He also reporteJ that he was grading down Raynor Ave¬ nue between Merrick Road and Old ' Mill Road. A. S. Malcomson, of Smith and Mal- comson. offered to make up such maps, etc., as would be needed if the proposi¬ tion in reference to the park was car¬ ried, without any coat to'the village. Chief Cornell made a requisition for supplies for the department and in¬ cluded a suggestion that a shed be erected at the engine houae to houii^e [ the old engine and truck. The requisi- ! tien was ordered returned to Chief Cor-1 nell as the Board claimed it was a matter to be taken up by the Fire Council and that body make' their recommendations, etc.. to the; Board. He also presented a communication in which he called attention of tbe Board to the village law on exits at ' amusement places and asked the Board to instruct the police to enforce the same. This was also ordeied returned. The bond of Edward Rice as princi¬ pal and Roswell Davis and William G. Miller as sureties, in the amount of $5000, for faithful performance of his duties in extending the water system, was accepted and approved. The following application were granted: Water, Maria Smith, 63 North Main St. ; Wallace Smith, and Peter J. Scanlon. South Bay View Ave¬ nue. Lights, Thomas E. Kirby, Wash¬ burn Avenue; Walter V. Royle, Miller | Avenue, and Louis Veerbeck, Broad¬ way and Columbus Avenue. 'Three car loads of Tassaoil were oraered purchased for the village streets, at a cost not to exceed 5g cents per gcllon, delivered. After a. number of bills were passed the meeting adjourned. Special Village Election All the propositions wore carried at the Special Village Election held Tues¬ day afternoon, by the following votes: No. 1. For extending the Electric Light System. Yes, :;o6.

I am under the impression the State , Department of .'\griculture again vio¬ lated the State Law in posting their signs (giving notice of removal of quarantine) on electric light pules, but we're glad to have the signs posted and thoae poles are handiest. Street Commissioner Sprague is now attending to his work in his auto and is able to get much more done. Here is hoping he will ;oon get time to make ua trim our trees before a heavy rain- storqi makes walking almost impossi¬ ble I ii sonu' of our prominent streets. I really h^d to »mile when I picked up a circular'on the street adverti.sing a new moving picture show in Free- port. When thoy first started out they annt.uiiced that they would r.ot resort lo the common niLthod of distributing circulars. Later they changed their minds ar.d 1 noticed now they have re¬ sorted to the unccnirnon method of dis- triliiitiii; circulars wbich are printed in New Vork City by a person not of or inteiested in the Village of Freeport. Fret'port showed its progressiveness again at the seccrd election Tuesday wiiei! it appropriated the sum recom¬ mended l.y the N'illage Hoard fur ex- toidiHg tne light ai'd water plant, and alt^o for il.creasing our I'eekskill gravel roads. .Nearly everybody knows where tbe extra Peekskill gravel reads will go, to a great e.Ntent, Lut we all want good roads no matter in what section they are put. The trolley company shows their su¬ preme contempt for or innyunity from r' gulations and rcaoluiiona of the Vil¬ lage Hoard of Trustees by continuing to use titilson wrenches for opening hydrants whenever they want to till their watering car. .All tire huthori- ties agree that this should never be al¬ lowed and our tire department begy the Village Hoard to stop it but it goes on iusi the same. Miss May Ryder, stenographer for Hanse & Fisbel, is spending two weeks' vacation at Sugar Loaf, Orange Coanty, N. Y. Great doings at th« Crystal. It On July 3 Officer Baker arrested An¬ tonio Ardelino and Scapnnczi Vincent, two employees of the New Y'ork & Long Island Traction Company, at the corner of Olive Boulevard and Main Street, charging them with disorderly conduct. They started an argument as to the ownership of a shovel which resulted in fight. They were arraigned before Police Justice Elvin Edwards, who suspendfd sentence when both men pleaded guilty. Harry Buck was arrested July 4 by Officer Cameron on charge of oeing drunk on Merrick Road. The arrest waa made at 2 :S0 and he was arraigned before Acting Police Justice Norton in the evening and was fined $10, which he paid. Board of Trade The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade was held in Brooklyn Hall Monday evening, President Kiefer in the chair. The evening was given over to dis¬ cussing tbe proposition to be voted upon at the special election on Tues¬ day, and nearly all present were in favor ot all tbe propositions as sub¬ mitted. Favorable addresses were made by Rev. C. A. Logue, J. B. Hibbard. Geo. Wallace, Thomas Burleigh and i others, while Village President Hanaa ; was praacnt and explained the proposi* | tions and answered questions in rcganl i to them. t That new flag from the Elks, on the village flag pole, at the junction of Main and Church Streets, looked good on Fourth of .luly, as it proudly floated in the breeze with tbe millions of other flags. I could not help smiling at one of our local policemen the other day, when he had to look pleaaant at the awful pun a woman made at him. He was stationed in front of the Realty Huililintr on Main Street, where the -Mosler Safe people were hoisting one of their safes to a window on the sec¬ ond story. He ailvised the woman that she had better go out in the road rather than to walk on the sidewalk, as they were hoisting a safe into th© window. She looked at him and re¬ plied, "Oh, you think it would be safe-rV" THE VILl7\GE tax RATE. A number of my readers want to know why it ia that the village tax rate is 8yc this year when it was only 76c last year, and all appropriations with one or two exceptions were voted clown at the election this Spring. As was the case last year, there is an increase in the village funds, partly increased in police department. There is also an increase of $6500 in tbe Street Fund, with which I assume the Village Board intends to improve more streets with Peekskill gravel. The Street Lighting F'und has a nat¬ ural increase to $8600, notwithstand¬ ing the people voted at the general el¬ ection that they did not care for street lighting, and the Board at their first meeting decided to consider what street lights shoulil be cut out to reduce the expense. The Fire Department seems to be the only fund that has been punished to any extent having been cut J700 below last year and n4U0 less than was asked by the Fire Department otfi- ciala, who were assured that the amount asked for would be given them, and it was quite es.sential that this amount should have been placed in the fund. The Village Board has not yet taken us into their confidence, and we do not know what their reason was, but it seems that it waa such that what economy was necessary was prac¬ tised on the Fire Department. Of course it looks aa if the same rule had applied to the Board of Health, which has been cut from $200 to $1600, but the Poard of Health has unlimited power to spend money and if the amount appropriated is not enough they can go ahead and spend as much more as necessary, but this rule does not ap¬ ply to the Fire Department. Here is tbe budget this vear and last: Fund 1911 1912 General $6000.00 $7500.00 Street 6560.00 13000.00 Street Lighting 7500.00 8600.00 Fire Dept. 4127.60 8416.02 Bd. of Health 2000.00 1600.00 Crosswalks 500.00 000.00 Sidewalks 1500.00 1600.00 Sawaga 1000.00 000.00 Interest (Rd. Bds.) 1062.60 2126.00' Reminiscences The following was delivered as a toast by Miss C. G. Atkinson, the Dean of our schoolifacuity, at the Alumni banquet at Garden City, and she has finally consented that we might use it, as we know it will intere.-it many of our readers: Mr. President, Laiiies and Gentlemen: For some time various of my ac- (luaintances, knowing of the friendship which existed for so many happy y^ara betwcn George Washington and my¬ self, have urged me to make public- certain recollections of that great man as I knew him. Perchance this may be a harder task than the young ar.d thoughtless would realize—to thus ransack in the neg¬ lected attic of bygone memories, and ppririg into the dazzling arc light of the 2iith Century, tl.e daya of long. long ago. However. 1 will M< my best, and beg that you will bear v.itli nie should tho momentary tremble in the voice, or the teardrop coureing down my hardened cheek, betray the emotion ever caused liy memory of those tirst year? in Free- port. . ' Well do I remember fiie first timo that I beheld the illustrious J-'ather of His Country. I was ii: the ferryboat crossing over to Hunter's Point while he was leaving Lung Island in some- thir'g of a hurry. You all remember the circumstances. ("Washington, l-avored oy a Fog, Retreats from Long Island." See any U. S. history.) As was his <»iint on such occasions, he sto'd straight up in the beat and gazed steadily ahead. In terror lest he lose his footing, I exclaimed, "George, why do you staiul?" Never shall I forget the look of con¬ scious rectitude which illumined thoae historic features, as the future invent¬ or of Washington Crisp.-replied: "I have no rocking chair, and ycu ki (jw that I cannot lie." I sav> then th^e^ultiijiate success of the .-Xmeri'can ArmV. 'That noble reply was Trenton, Princeton. Saratoga and Yorktown all condensed into one brief interval of time. "That man will live tn have every city park named after him, and may¬ hap an avenue in lirooklyn," e.xclaimed the captain of our boat, as we again dipped into the fog; while a reporter for one of the New York dailies was so overcome, that he then and there com¬ posed the beautiful little poem entitled "Oh, (ieorge, the boat is going over." Never afterwards did I doubt his ability to perform any task which his country might demand. "Let George do it," was the answer for every emergency, and well indeed did (Ieorge respond to the trust reposed in him by his admiring countrymen. Tho scene had changed when next I beheld the commander-in-chief of the American Army. It was in tne ten cent store just before the crossing the Delaware episode, and he was bjoking for a bargain in gum shoes. "No," said the lo(|Uacious clerk, "I have no gum shi'os your size, but I have some of the best gum drops at ten cents a pound that you ever at." George smiled and explaii ed that ha had long ago promised Martha he would never indulge in anything stronger than a cherry frappe. A prominent club woman, the well known president of that very .lelect so¬ ciety of Boston, known aa the Respect¬ able Relations of ({evolutionary Ring¬ leaders, once asked me, "Were you ever disappointed in George'."' .My reply was, "Only once." Some time ago in a distant city I ordered Washington pie, arul awaited with feverish impatiance and New England appetite, the advent of the traditional pie crust variety. Imagine my horror to see the waiter enter with an ordinary jelly cake dis¬ played upon the tray- 'be kind which you can buy at half price after any church social. .\nd this was named Washington pie 1 Authorities differ as to (Jeorge's re¬ sponsibility in this matter. An eminent New York divite in his soul and heel uplifting pamphlet en¬ titled Daily Crumbs for the Crummy declares that a man cannot be held morally responsible for such an inter¬ pretation of his name. Other writers take a different view of the (juestion. Look in the dictionary fnr yourselves or write to the Ladies' Home Journal. I am only presenting facts not attempt- i.ig to delve into the complex and un¬ known. Yes, I remember the last time that I saw George Washington. He was touring the laland, having been hired by a real estate company to stop over night at each village as an advertise¬ ment for the place in future years. He came along Seaman Avenue just as we were finishing a game with Rockville Centre. Suddenly a cry reached him. "Thy win!" "Theywinl "Who win?" "F. H. S.!" was the reply. "Then I die happy," be cried, and predicted that Freeport would win the American Eagle trophy in 1912. He gave oor team tkeir "Oske wow wow" yell, it being one which be had leartted from tbe Indians on his cross country trip to interview the French commander^ George went from Freeport over to Oyster Bay whera he had tha misfort- $30190.00 $37640.021 Ion Freeport lets oo hit

Dana White: "If (Nick Diaz) Wants to Fight, We'll Get Him a Fight" | MMAWeekly.com
Diazs legal representation, Jonathan Tweedale, stated earlier this month that if Diaz doesnt get a rematch with St-Pierre or a fight against Silva, he will likely remain retired.
But if Diaz decides that he does want to continue his fighting career, he still has a place in the UFC.
If he wants to fight, well get him a fight, said UFC president Dana White on Thursday.
Diaz attended The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale on April 13, but he and White didnt talk.

Solution name:
Stingray Traffic Manager
Solution description:
Stingray Traffic Manager is a software-based, Application Delivery Controller, delivering more reliable access to websites and applications in Cloud and Enterprise environments. Stingray Traffic Manager on IBM PureSystems improves performance, reliability and security of portals, websites and enterprise applications.
Solution web page:
Stingray Traffic Manager provides high-availability, application traffic management, and load balancing solutions. These solutions provide control, intelligence, security and resilience for all application traffic. Stingray traffic management is intended for organizations hosting valuable business-critical services, such as TCP and UDP-based services like HTTP (web) and media delivery, and XML-based services such as Web Services. Stingray's unique process architecture ensures it can handle large volumes of network traffic efficiently. Its TrafficCluster scalability allows you to add more front-end traffic managers or back-end servers to your cluster as the need arises. The cluster size is unlimited, and the performance of the traffic manager grows in line with the performance of the hardware. Stingray traffic management products are secure out-of-the-box, and are hardened against intrusion and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. They incorporate the fastest and strongest SSL encryption technologies, and can efficiently decrypt and encrypt large numbers of SSL connections. For critical, high-availability solutions, Stingray offers TrafficCluster redundancy that allows you to have unlimited numbers of active and passive standby front-end servers. If an active server fails, a standby server is automatically brought into action, ensuring there is never a single point of failure in the system.

Functional details
Stingray Traffic Manager is a full-featured, high performance virtual/software ADC providing rich support for: Load Balancing High Availability Fault Tolerance SSL and XML Offload Content Compression HTTP Caching HTTP Multiplexing TCP Offload Monitoring Bandwidth and Rate Shaping Server Isolation Traffic Filtering and Scrubbing Scalable, Distributed Application Firewall TrafficScript Rules Language and Java Extensions Service Level Monitoring Reporting and Alerting Control and Event API
Business problem
Application delivery controllers accelerate transactions, maximize availability, manage security policies, and provide a point of control to monitor and manage application traffic. Stingray Traffic Manager is a software-based ADC that provides unprecedented scale and flexibility to deliver applications across the widest range of environments, from physical and virtual data centers to public and hybrid clouds.
Business opportunity
Stingray Traffic Manager benefits include: Speed: Accelerate services, increase capacity, and reduce costs by offloading performance-draining tasks such as SSL and compression onto Stingray Traffic Manager's optimized implementations. Cache commonly requested content and optimize traffic delivery to applications so they'll run as fast as they would in a perfect benchmark environment. Reliability: Improve application availability by intelligently distributing traffic, avoiding failed or degraded servers, monitoring performance problems, and shaping traffic spikes. Improved security: Stingray Traffic Manager operates as a deny-all gateway, only admitting traffic types it has been configured to admit. This provides full control over how traffic is internally routed. High-performance inspection can interrogate any part of a request or response to apply global filtering or scrubbing policies. The Stingray Application Firewall option also protects against a broad range of web application attacks. Ease of management: Stingray Traffic Manager makes it easy to manage how users interact with applications, and the infrastructure those applications depend on. Use it to shape, prioritize, and route traffic, to drain infrastructure resources prior to maintenance, and to upgrade user sessions across application instances, all while preserving the user experience that business demands.
Return on investment
Consolidation and virtualization projects aim to reduce costs and to improve flexibility and responsiveness. But when services depend on sophisticated components that are not deployed within the virtual platform, virtualization's benefits will never be completely realized. The Stingray virtual ADC can be run natively within the virtual infrastructure for greater choice and flexibility when deploying application resources. It also provides improved performance and reduced latency compared to external ADC devices. Stingray can also leverage public and private compute cloud technologies to extend to hybrid cloud architectures as required.
Competitive advantage
Designed from the ground up for virtualization, Stingray represents a better approach for Application Delivery Controllers (ADC's) in private cloud, public cloud, and data center deployments. Stingray Traffic Manager frees applications from the constraints of proprietary, hardware-based ADC's, enabling them to run in any physical, virtual, or cloud environment. This model allows applications to migrate and scale on demand. Stingray Traffic Manager is one of the fastest software-based ADCs on the market with best in class price-performance.

I will share a little for now. When my parents died eons ago they sent me butterflies.
When my husband died and some time after he sent me butterflies. And these beautiful creatures were in the color realm of their favorites. They landed on me hung out for awhile, gave me butterfly kisses on my cheeks, and flew up into the air and disappeared.... sometimes in front of others, sometimes on my own. I have had dreams of encouragement from my husband. I woke up knowing he was gone yet feeling as if he was really there. I have "felt" his presence. And there are more concrete "things" maybe for another time.
We had five kids. Loading them all into the car was a process (esp. because the last two were twins and only 2 years old when he was told he was terminal.) Tom and I would call to each other, "I've got Nell! I've got Bean!"
I knew that after he died, the eldest kid and the babies would be fine (because she was very resilient, and they were too young to remember him). But the older son idolized his dad, and the little sister was her daddy's pet and shadow.
The first night after he died, I very distinctly heard Tom's voice say, "I've got Buster. I've got Tertia." The sense of relief I felt was incredible -- these were the two kids I was worried about. Fourteen years later, they both turned out okay.
Our oldest daughter & husband were waiting to hear about their adoption of a little girl from China when my husband got sick & passed from cancer. We kept hoping he would last until they got their picture & referral, which was supposed to take 6 months but had turned into 16 months. He passed Dec.10 and they got their referral on Jan. 3. We all think he "sent" her to us.
The 2nd one is a little funnier, as my husband was always joking & making people laugh. He used to let the 5 acres we owned next to us grow up during the summer, stating that he only mowed it Memorial Day, July 4th & Labor Day. It used to drive me nuts, telling him it made us look trashy.
The 1st summer after he died, I decided to mow it between the summer holidays because of how bad it looked. Right in the middle, my mower ran out of gas. I had to walk to the house, get the gas container and haul it back in the wagon to fill the mower. I looked up and said, "I get it. Thanks a lot, Steve!" I knew he was laughing down at me.
Yes I get them periodically as needed. Before my husband passed, his 15 yo son that I brought up died. I would tell my hubby about my Heavenly Hello's from Matt, & shortly before his death he saw a black lab( ours had gone on) at Matt's gravesite. And another ex: on his computer: Matt's nickname out of the blue on the screen. (we really looked for a logical reason for it.) Matt had died by his own hand, I worried about him. So my 1rst hello was when I was praying about him and asked for a certain sign that he was ok., I went to bed thinking that was a mistake . But was given it before I went to sleep. God is merciful.
My husband & I laughed that Walmart is not usually considered romantic, however to me yes since I met him there. The a m I came home after his death. The home had a golden glow and a Walmart Gift card was in the mail. Not with anything explaining it or who from. Just coincidences? Jesus continually loves us in personal ways.

Dental appointment to remove two teeth that I had broken but first they didn't numb all of the area of my mouth needed so the first attempt had me hanging off the ceiling and then when I had climbed back down he couldn't get them out. It took four separate attempts of anaesthetic and pulling with breaks in between while the dentist saw other patients whilst waiting for the next lot of pain killer to work to finally remove them and he started muttering about having to get me to an emergency specialist urgently after the second one broke and he struggled to get the last root out.

I messed up back while doing some heavy lifting at the rental property yesterday. I have not had this much pain in some time. I think that, because my back has been better, I was not thinking about being more careful when lifting the laminate boxes and the air conditioner.
I hope to get to my chiropractor and a massage this morning.

NBA 2012 All-Star Game Preview
- Updated: February 24, 2012
NBA 2012 All-Star Game Preview
This Sunday night the stars come out in the NBA as the best of the best players from the Eastern Conference square-off against the elite players from the Western Conference in this season's All-Star Game at the Amway Center in Orlando. The game is set to get underway at 7:30 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on TNT.
Actually this weekend is much more than an All-Star break as there are a number of events planned starting with BBVA Rising Stars Challenge that will feature a game between the league's best rookies and second-year players. The highlight of this game will be over-night sensation Jeremy Lin, who has suddenly made the New York Knicks relevant again through his stellar play.
There is also the Taco Bell Skills Challenge and Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, but the highlight of the weekend is still Sunday's All-Star Game. The named starting guards for the Eastern Conference are Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls and Miami's Dwyane Wade. Rose is averaging 23.1 points and 7.7 assist a game and Wade is averaging 20.3 points and 5.5 assists.
The forwards are Carmelo Anthony from New York and another member of the 'Big Three' in Miami, Lebron James. Anthony has been hampered with a groin injury, but is still averaging over 23 points a game and James has been a beast this season with 29.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game. The starting center for the East is Dwight Howard, who could very well be playing in his last All-Star game in front of the home-town fans as his days in Orlando appear to be numbered.
The Western Conference starters feature a pair of guards from Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant represents the Lakers while Chris Paul gets the nod from the rival Clippers. Bryant continues to perform at a high level as the 33 year-old veteran is almost shooting his age with 30 points a game. Paul came over from New Orleans to help lead the Clippers to the top of the Pacific Division through the first half of the season.
The forwards will be Kevin Durant from Oklahoma City and another Clipper, Blake Griffin. Durant has the Thunder atop the Northwest Division with 26.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. Griffen's numbers are secondary to his monstrous dunks that are a mainstay on ESPN's daily highlights. The center for the West is the Lakers' Andrew Bynum, who is averaging 16.5 points while pulling down 12.1 rebounds a game.
One of the biggest prop bets for this game is the MVP Award. The current favorite is LeBron James at 13/2 followed by Kevin Durant at 7/1. The third-favorites are Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant at 15/2 and both Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin are next at 9/1. While any of these six players could easily win, go with the odds on Bryant as you get the feeling he will be out to make a statement as the elder statesman of this group.

It seems that a Region is closer to what a City used to be, and that now each City is, as you stated, a little more like a large town. There has been a lot of conversations about this on Reddit and the base issue is that Maxis wanted the game to work well on older machine and that larger cities could be coming at a later date when they know a system can handle to processing power required for all the sims.
I hear your point, and I do hope that larger cities will become available.
You mean when they have worked out how to make it in to a micro transaction/paid expansion that people will not complain about buying?

NXT jousting: yet another lance
Regardless what the actual settings for NXT jousting will be in the end, no doubt a requisite to be provided by a every attending robot will be the lance.
As it is still subject of discussion if we will provide a (set of?) standard lance(s) to be used by anybody or just its dimensions, here's nevertheless my first draft for one (adding a buddy next to Jim's contribution to our armoury).
Matthias Paul
6 comments:
Nice drawing Mathias, I like the 'hand guard' portion and the use of 1x3 teeth as 'flags' from the shaft of the lance.
I would personally favor using two 7 hold beams versus the 5 hole beams you have for the connection portion.
Crude ASCII drawing alert!
Connecting 2 away (O-O) verus 1 away (OO) is traditionally much stronger and more stable.
- May 23, 2006, 5:58:00 AM
Also, why only a 13m beam for the forward portion and not a 15m beam?
- May 23, 2006, 6:00:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
The 13L beams are more "rare" than the 15L beams (in the retail kit), so I was wondering, too, why the 13L beam.
Overall... I think you've got the lance defined... very well defined.
If Brian is accepting, let's run with this one (or until we encounter any issues with it -weight, etc.).
- May 23, 2006, 6:19:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I've got one more day of "REAL WORK" and then I can start spending some more time on the Joust project. Assuming this is our lance, how about we discuss here (and allow others to comment) on the decision to build a mount and a rider or simply a mount. Things to think about:
1. Do we want something to "knock off" like a rider or other object?
2. Will the object be to knock the other bot over (tipped to left or right or completely backwards)?
Deciding if we need a rider or not will help us to move forward. Rider or not, we'll need to define the dimensions of the bot in terms of where target areas are located, max width of bot, etc.
- May 23, 2006, 6:45:00 AM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
The 13 holed beam looked more well-balanced to me than the 15 holed one.
Same with the connectors: the 7 holed ones looked pretty clumsy what conflicted with my desire for designing the lance as slender as possible.
Just wait...I'm changing it this very minute with 7 holed connectors and 15 holed head ... hm ..looks a bit top-heavy for my opinion (image to come in no time flat).
- May 23, 2006, 6:55:00 AM

I agree: some fundamental decisions have to be taken right now.
Fisrt of all, I vote for: yes, let's have a rider "loosely coupled" to the mount (what that means is yet to be defined), to be knocked by his/her opponent.
For I think that this is a viewy feature that is more or less expected by a Joust's audience (in particular by children).
And the main objective of a combatant should be to knock this rider from his/her mount.
Another aspect is the decision about having some kind of bar to guide and to separate the opponents.
Again, I vote for: yes, let's have a bar in the middle, parallel to the opponents' direction of "riding" against each other.
Reason: this will help the robot knights to navigate and will provide a structure to the jousting arena. It's easy to determine when a particular sweep is finished, then.
Last question to be decided before adressing dimensions: what of target points when no rider gets knocked off?
I think we should leave that to the 2nd iteration. Once we have defined the correct constraints, dimensions and rules, have overcome the difficulties in finding and knocking off the opponent and have gathered some experience in NXT jousting, we could make for the advanced targeting stuff.
What do the others think?

Rights, Obligations, and Ignorant Libertarians
Oh, Rand Paul. What are we going to do with you?
I'll tell you in a moment what I'm referring to. But first: One of the principal functions parties serve is that they act as a heuristic, or cognitive shortcut, for voters. If you have to vote for someone to serve on your city council and you know nothing about the candidates, you can use party as a proxy and you'll be right almost all the time. You can also look to your party to see where you should come down on issues. It doesn't necessarily make you lazy; sometimes it's just efficient to look to others with values similar to yours for cues about what policies are worthwhile. We can't all be experts on everything. In a similar way, parties give people who run for office a set of policy positions they can adopt without having to know everything about anything a lawmaker might have to address.
But if you call yourself a libertarian, you're saying that parties aren't enough for you, even if you're a Republican. Instead, you're motivated by a philosophical perspective to which you've given some serious thought. Every libertarian in politics, including Rand Paul, presents themselves this way. They're concerned with ideas. So if you're going to define yourself by a philosophy, isn't it incumbent upon you to at least have an idea of what that philosophy implies, and a grasp of some basic philosophical concepts—for instance, like what a right is—so that you can talk about them with some modicum of sense when they come up, as they inevitably will?
Apparently not. Here's Paul in a new National Review article:
"There's a philosophic debate which often gets me in trouble, you know, on whether health care's a right or not," Paul, in a red tie, white button-down shirt, and khakis, tells the students from the stage. "I think we as physicians have an obligation. As Christians, we have an obligation. . . . I really believe that, and it's a deep-held belief," he says of helping others.
"But I don't think you have a right to my labor," he continues. "You don't have a right to anyone else's labor. Food's pretty important, do you have a right to the labor of the farmer?"
Paul then asks, rhetorically, if students have a right to food and water. "As humans, yeah, we do have an obligation to give people water, to give people food, to give people health care," Paul muses. "But it's not a right because once you conscript people and say, 'Oh, it's a right,' then really you're in charge, it's servitude, you're in charge of me and I'm supposed to do whatever you tell me to do. . . . It really shouldn't be seen that way."
Oh dear. Paul is obviously unaware of this, but saying that health care is a right doesn't mean that doctors have to treat people without being paid, any more than saying that education is a right means that public school teachers have to work for free. Because we all agree that education is a right, we set up a system where every child can be educated, whether their families could afford to pay for it themselves or not. It doesn't mean that any kid can walk up to a teacher in the street and say, "I command you to teach me trigonometry for free. Be at my house at 9 tomorrow. You must do this, because I have a right to education and that means I am in charge of you and you're supposed to do whatever I tell you to do."
All this talk of "servitude" and "conscription" is just baffling. The only way I can interpret it is that libertarianism is something Paul picked up from his dad, and it seems to go over well with Republicans when he mentions it, but he hasn't spent any time thinking about it.
I don't know if the 2016 Republican presidential contest is going to be quite the nincompoop parade that 2012 was. But I wouldn't be surprised if Rand Paul presents himself as the candidate with the big ideas. Make of that what you will.

'If there is one word that invalidates Ayn Rand's blubbering worship of individual achievement, it would be "exposure". It is a term used in the investment and finance worlds, describing the vulnerability a portfolio, institution or industry can endure in times of uncertainty. It conveys a relative link between two parties that can chain react adversely throughout entire industries, even economies. It wields no stoic or heroic connotation--unlike the feigned bravery of Ayn Rand's discourse.'
Mon, 2013-08-26 19:47
The further contradiction (this is where I thought this column was going) is that Ayn Rand's libertarianism is adamantly against Christian charity and social work - what Rand Paul calls "obligations." He's trying to have it both ways. This is the classic modern Republican; somehow both a social Darwinist and a self-professed Christian.
Tue, 2013-08-27 02:04
The author does not appeal to Ayn Rand's version of libetarianism, which is not even the definitive authority on libertarian thought in America. If you want to appeal to mainstream libertarian philosophy, you would do better to quote from such scholars as Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Albert Nock, Thomas Jefferson, Lysander Spooner, Ludwig von Mises, Noam Chomsky, Walter Block, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Stephen Kinsella, or even Ron Paul. Ayn Rand is a fringe element of the modern libertarian movement, certainly no authority figure, yet detractors of liberty have lately been drawn to lambasting her, as if attacking Rand was somehow sufficient at denouncing all libertarian ideas. Most have never even cracked open her book, but simply regurgitate falsities that they read on other sites.
It is a sad state of debate, that this is such a common thread. Hopefully, the detractors of liberty will come up with some new material soon.
Tue, 2013-08-27 11:22
You are absolutely right - "cowboydroid". I can't believe how thin the criticism of this article is. It some weird way it is actually encouraging how weak the intellectual argument against libertarian thought (in any of it's forms like the authors you referenced) is at present.
Mon, 2013-08-26 22:28
I don't see any contradiction here whatsoever. "We all agree that education is a right, we setup the system that way". No. I didn't agree to that. Education is not a right nor is healthcare. Educating and healing the unfortunate and impoverished is a charitable act and we should feel compelled to be charitable if given the opportunity. But, to take resources through compulsion from individuals to give these "rights" to others is authoritative and immoral.
Mon, 2013-08-26 22:58
Your inability to understand the English languages and the contradictions within your own statements are almost cute.
Compelled- Forced or obliged to do something.
Law- the system of rules that a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and may enforce by the imposition of penalties.
Tax- a compulsory contribution to state revenue,
We should all feel "compelled" to contribute to these items.... as you say. It is our duty. And to make sure we do feel compelled, we created laws and imposed taxes.
You can not say we all should feel compelled but nothing should be done through compulsion. You don't even bother using a synonym for your contradictory statements.

Chami013, leading off with an ad hominem logical fallacy does not bode well for the rest of your argument...
You've not refuted anything that Eric stated. What Eric stated is absolutely true, nobody has any right to the labors of another, for that would entail involuntary servitude.
"We" do not create laws and impose taxes. The government does. The government is not "us." It is an entity separate from society, an entity with a "legitimate" monopoly on the use of coercive force in implementing its will. The government imposes laws and taxes to control the governed. It does so in the interest of maintaining and expanding its own power and authority.
Compulsory charity is not charity, it is slavery. You cannot force someone into an action and yet claim that they wholly volunteered for that action, that is simply a lie. Stop twisting words.
Tue, 2013-08-27 04:27
Yes, the government is us. We elected them to represent us, to vote in our place.
And I'm so sick of hearing that any kind of compulsion is slavery. This is an insult and a slap in the face to people who actually were slaves. We should expand Godwin's Law to stipulate that if someone labels something slavery that obviously isn't slavery, that person automatically loses the argument.
Tue, 2013-08-27 07:46
The government is not us. Where does this type of thinking come from? My God. The government is a runaway freight train beholden to special interests. They are not us, not even close. They kill, oppress, manipulate, bail out, prop up, and lie. And you say "the government is us". Like he$$ they are. That's not me and I suspect it's not you either. You want to give this entity the power over the most intimate part of our lives? Terrible idea.
Mon, 2013-08-26 22:53
Senator Paul is correct. If people have a right to something that requires resources and labor, then society collectively is absolutely required and obliged to provide that something. That means all the rest of us must, must, must provide that something. There is no one else to do the providing except us humans in that society. "Right" should only refer to the right to be left along and not molested or injured; another term for that is "negative rights."
Tue, 2013-08-27 01:53
Nobody has the "right" to the resources and labors of another. Everyone has the right to their own resources and their own labor. People also have the right to contractually exchange property. Confiscation is not the contractual exchange of property, but theft of property.
There is quite a difference between moral obligations and natural rights. You or I might feel the moral obligation to provide for those in need, but those in need have no right to force us to labor in their interest, just like we don't have a right to force them to labor in our interest. And nobody else has a right to force us to labor in someone else's interests.
Natural rights are quite clearly defined as unobstructed freedom of action that does not infringe on someone else's unobstructed freedom of action. A "right" to health care does not fall under this definition, since someone's freedom of action is infringed by someone else's action. There is no such thing as "negative or positive" rights. There are only rights. "Positive rights" is simply a euphemism for state-granted privileges, which necessarily infringe on the rights of one group in order to provide special treatment to another.
Tue, 2013-08-27 04:37
Keep regurgitating that libertarian gobletygook. Meanwhile, there are still millions of people without health care. I'll tell you what's immoral: letting people die when we, collectively, could be saving them through the provision of health care. Of course some selfish jerks won't like this and will scream and whine that we're stealing their money to give to lazy poor people who don't deserve to live. Yep, that's why we have government to compel creeps like you to pay up. See, it wouldn't work if we didn't have the force of government. That force is a good thing. It lets people live.
Tue, 2013-08-27 11:04
Why so much hate? "We have government to compel creeps like you to pay up." You don't know the first thing about me. You don't know if I give my time and resources to help those in need, you just assume that I must be a selfish creep because I don't want the government to use force to administer what should be a voluntary charitable action by individuals. What are you doing yourself? Are you giving your time and money to those less fortunate? Or, are you just about advocating for a government that compels the rich creeps (which I would presume is anyone that has more than you) to "pay up"? You're caught in a catch-22. On the one hand, if we, as individuals, are so full of hate, animosity and uncharitable actions, then how in the world could we ever hope to effectively elect or administer a government that forces people to help others. On the other hand, if we, as individuals, are charitable then why would we need a government to force people to help others? This is tired old group think infused with embittered class warfare. You're better than this.
Tue, 2013-08-27 15:22
If you are so concerned with the millions of people dying in the streets because they can't afford the artificially high health care expenses promoted by government intervention, then why don't you lead off with giving them your own charity?
The real immoral act is that you think you can force someone else to be charitable by holding a gun to their head and telling them to pay up. That is a crime. You talk about others being selfish, but what is more selfish than the idea that you are entitled to the labors of another?
Creeps like you depend on the government to do their good works for them. I give of myself to those in need when I see fit. You have no right to command others how to give of themselves, and any exercise of such an action is a crime.
Force and coercion are evil. Any initiation of force is pure evil. Sociopaths appeal to the initiation of force when they can't get their way. They scream and stomp like children when they can't convince others to agree to their desires, and pull out guns to force them into submission.
Tue, 2013-08-27 01:38
Mr. Paul is absolutely correct in his statements. Nobody has a right to the labors of another. We have moral obligations as human beings to help the less fortunate among us, but those less fortunate do not have the right to force us to labor in their interests. We do it out of charity, not slavery.
The author has essentially appealed to hand-wringing in countering Mr. Paul's statement. What is your actual objection? Mr. Paul has clearly defined what a natural right is, and what it is not.
And I'm sorry, but we did NOT all "agree" that education is a right. The Constitution says absolutely nothing about the right to a state-provided education, and there is absolutely no delegated power within the Constitution for the state to provide an education. The Department of Education was established almost 200 years AFTER the Constitution was ratified!
You, the author, apparently have little concept of natural rights yourself. If you assert that people do in fact have a right to education and health care, then how on earth is that right fulfilled if nobody wants to be a doctor or teacher? Is the government going to force certain people to be doctors or teachers in order to fulfill this "right?"
I think you confuse the natural right to the pursuit of happiness with the actual state of happiness. Nobody has the right to a state of happiness, but they do have the right to pursue it.
Jesus, these arguments were made and refuted centuries ago, and yet here we are, still debating them today. You'd think human beings would be capable of learning from history, after 5000 years of repeating it over and over again.

Open wide and say, "ahh!"
Masons first used a bag like this to haul the heavy tools of their trade. In the age of house calls, doctors carried a variation of this bag. Hinged-mouth design and cavernous main compartment can swallow near any combination of tools or junk. Tough 16 oz. canvas and topgrain moccasin leather can handle a heavy load. An aluminum frame keeps the bag upright for easy loading and unloading. Water-resistant fiberboard base. If you're a guy who gets carried away with carrying tools, this is the bag for you.

This is a great bag right out of the box. It is a beautiful color and the leather bottom and handles are fantastic. The hinged frame opening makes for easy loading and an overall good look. It gives the bag a constructed vs frumpy look. Every girlfriend I have wants to steal it- hurry or they will be sold out>

Comments about Canvas Tote Bags - Heritage Canvas Bag:
I use this practically everyday. It holds the various books, notebooks and materials I need close to hand. In previous bags, the case was too heavy when loaded. The lightweight frame/canvas makes this one work much better. It has a great shape/heft when loaded.
I would suggest that one of these in the fire hose material would be fantastic: a darker color and waterproof. Nevertheless, this is a very good bag.

A wonderful national organization called FAAN (the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) announced this morning that Holiday World is the recipient of the 13th Annual Mariel C. Furlong Award for Making a Difference.
This is a huge honor. The best award, though, is the sweet little faces of the children who were able to safely eat at the park with the rest of their family last summer. Here's an example of some of the wonderful stories we heard. And here's another.
Do you know someone with food allergies? Please let them know they can head over to our Restaurant & Food page to download this year's Allergen-Friendly Information Guide.
Many thanks to the Tri-State Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Support Group in Evansville, who nominated us for this award.

I gave myself a mini vacation from this blog and ALL blog reading last week…it works wonders. Every six months or so I get burnt out of blogging and reading blogs. I love reading super-duper-awesome blogs…but I don't love the not-so-super-duper feelings of discontentment that come along with it. But then I take a break…and realize its all good.
I had hopes of finishing up this top last week….but its still hanging there giving me the evil eye.
And just so you're all aware….I still hold the record for The Worst Cinnamon Roll Maker in the World. But if I ever need to make a cinnamon roll sheet cake I've got it made.
