a good day ride from toowoomba could be to work your way down to the rabbit proof fence via leyburn and duridai state forests then to stanthorpe. not sure how to make a loop of that as we usually do it from brissie but would make a good adv ride.
Don't talk to me about the Rabbit Fence!
Yes, it's a good option (depending on the company you are with!), and you can get to it via mostly dirt though Leyburn/Felton etc. via Murphy Rd & Tralee Rd.
We went down Voll Rd (if it's the one I'm thinking of) about a year ago, and yes, it is a gazetted road, and yes, it is through farmland complete with gates, cattle, perplexed looks from the bikini clad farmer's wife doing the lawns!
Have GPX of tracks route from Toowoomba to Cunningham if you'd like...
So far, so good...

Aceldama or Akeldama (Aramaic:חקל דמא; field of blood) is the Aramaic name for a place in Jerusalem associated with Judas Iscariot, one of the followers of Jesus.
In Aramaic hagel dema signifies "field of blood". The name is written in Greek 'Akeldamá, and very often 'Akeldamách, to render by the letter ch the guttural sound of the final letter aleph.
The earth in this area is of rich clay and was formerly used by potters. For this reason it was formerly known as the Potter's Field. The clay had a strong red colour, which may be the origin of the modern name. More recently it was used as a burial place for non-Jews. It was used for this purpose up to the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
Christian tradition connects it with the death of Judas Iscariot, who is supposed to have bought it with the money he received for betraying Jesus. In this account (Acts of the Apostles 1:19) Judas fell over in this field in such a way that his intestines burst out and he died. This would imply that the name refers to the blood of Judas.
In another version (Gospel of Matthew 27:7) Judas hanged himself after returning the money to the Temple authorities, who then used the money to buy the field called the Potter's Field, which was then used as a burial place for foreigners. Here the implication is that the name refers either to the blood of the buried or the blood of Jesus.
The Akeldama (Hakl-ed-damm) of to-day presents a large, square sepulchre, of which the southern half is excavated in the rock, the remainder being built of massive masonry. In the center stands a huge pillar, constructed partly of rough blocks and partly of polished stones. Much of its clay was taken away by Empress Helena and other prominent Christians, for sarcophagi.
It lies on a narrow level terrace on the south face of the valley of Hinnom.
In the twelfth century, the crusaders erected beyond the field, on the south side of the valley of Hinnom, a large building now in a ruined condition, measuring seventy-eight feet in length from east to west, fifty-eight feet in width and thirty in height on the north. It is roofed and covers towards the southern end several natural grottoes, which were once used as sepulchres of the Jewish type, and a ditch is hollowed out at the northern end which is sixty-eight feet long, twenty-one feet wide and thirty feet deep. It is estimated that the bones and rubbish accumulated there form a bed from ten to fifteen feet thick. Akeldama has been the property of the non-United Armenians since the sixteenth century.

A tattoo is an ink design inserted into the dermis layer of the skin with a needle. Tattoos were used for religious purposes and by ancient tribals for thousands of years.

But before getting a neck tattoo, it important to consider that they are not easy to conceal and the pain associated with neck tattoo is unbearable as compared to the pain on other body parts. The designs can be anything you like but usually small tattoos like a star, flower or vines look better than bulky tattoos.
2. Arm Band Tattoo:
Arm band tattoo has been the mainstay tattoo for years, traditionally wore by men and women around the biceps or triceps as a wire, thorn and other popular motifs. Forearm broadband is becoming increasingly popular among both men and women because of their versatility in terms of discreetness and personality. They are marked on arms as an alternative to tangible arm bands. These tattoos look like a bracelet, an arm band and other ornaments. The designs mainly used for arm band tattoos are flower bands, dragon bands, dolphin bands, skull bar wire, celtic bands and hearts bands.

4. Shoulder Tattoo:
Shoulder is a great canvas to ink and display tattoo and it looks amazingly chic and stylish. This area of the body is best for displaying large tattoos with intricate details. Shoulder is an extremely popular spot for tattooing on women since it can be easily covered to hide for professional work and during office hours and can be easily revealed by wearing a strapless and sleeveless top to showcase the fun, flashy and sexy persona.
5. Finger Tattoo:
Fingers are always on display that makes it desirable to have a visible and impressive design on them. It has been a long standing tradition in some places for a woman to get the name of her husband inked on her finger. Finger tattoo is fun & flirty and a style statement in itself. It is rapidly thumbing its way onto girls everywhere and shows itself in a big way. The designs could range from simplest ones like a text or a band to the most intricate and outlandish designs like that of a skull or a mini portrait.
6. Hand Tattoo:
The popularity of hand tattoos is on the rise mainly due to celebrities getting the name of their beloved inked on their hands. Hand is one of the most common spots for getting a tattoo. The most common reasons for getting a hand tattoo done are, for religious reasons, to show a sign of rebelliousness or to make a profound statement. Women generally prefer a star, a flower or a mehendi influenced design. Hand tattoos look astounding and impressive and are capable of attracting anyone's attention.
7. Half Sleeve Tattoo:
Half sleeve tattoo design is a very popular design which is attracting men all over the world. It is now not just limited to bikers and rockers, anyone can sport it as it is the best way to show off your inner strength and toughness. It looks particularly eye catching and ultra-stylish on men with strong and muscular biceps.

This tattoo is completely different and looks uber stylish and is suitable for those who want to express themselves through an edgy and unique body art. Another advantage of this spot is that this portion is relatively less painful than other body parts.

The artwork, as it gracefully covers the fine calves gives a unique sense of self-expression to women. Leg area is a massive space for tattoo of various sizes. Leg tattoos look terribly fascinating on women and add a tasteful dimension to a girl's looks. Leg tattoos should be bright, fun and engaging and can be inked in a single colour, two colors or a pattern of many bright colors.
10. Ankle Tattoo:
Ankle tattoos are placed on or around the area of ankles and signify the epitome of feminine charm. Ankle is an extremely popular spot for tattoos and looks very cute and sexy. Ankle tattoos can easily be flaunted by wearing the appropriate attire and can be concealed if required. The designs are usually kept simple and small and the most popular designs include butterflies, stars and flowers and come in a variety of colours. But you need to be a bit careful before etching the tattoo as ankle is a relatively painful spot for tattoo as the area is very bony and has many nerves which lead to the foot.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2 Spoilers Roundup: What Will Happen to Snow White and Prince Charming?
With Once Upon a Time Season 2 less than a month away (it premieres on September 30), it's about time to start taking stock of what we know about the upcoming season.
We've already looked at what new characters are coming to town, and what magic means for Storybrooke. Now it's time to focus on one of our fave OUAT pairs: Mary Margaret/Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and David/Prince Charming (Josh Dallas)!
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
Snow White-centric premiere: According to E!, Season 2, Episode 1: "Broken" will be Snow White-centric. Hurrah!
Complicated memories: The premiere will also focus on the characters coming to "grips with the knowledge of what they once were... and are again." You'd think that would mean lots of lovey dovey moments for Snow and Charming, but you should keep in mind that the characters also retain the memories of their Storybrooke selves. Will David and Mary Margaret's complicated history cause trouble for Snow and Charming's happy ending? Executive producer Edward Kitsis says this season is about redemption; could part of that be David and Mary Margaret seeking forgiveness for the hurt they've caused each other?
Raccoons, skunks, and bats: In random spoiler news, Ginnifer Goodwin tweeted about filming with raccoons, skunks, and bats. More time in the woods?
Snow White's complicated relationship with...: Edward Kitsis told TVLine that Snow has a complicated and unexpected past with new character Lancelot. "The two of them have a secret that I'm not sure Charming knows" he dished.
A Charming family reunion? Don't expect Emma (Jennifer Morrison) to embrace her new mom and dad with open arms. Jennifer Morrison told Entertainment Weekly that Emma "didn't anticipate how much resentment she'd have for [her parents] giving her up."
Forced bonding: Indeed, it might take some forced bonding time for Emma and Mary Margaret/Snow to work out their relationship. But what kind of bonding? TVLine says to "think Lost," so many fans think mom and daughter might get stuck in an alternate world and/or timeline somehow. But what would that mean for Charming/Snow?
Charming's anger: Charming is definitely pissed at Regina (Lana Parrilla) for separating him from his daughter.
Charming as granddad: It also looks like David/Charming will get some bonding time in with his grandson. He even teaches Henry (Jared Gilmore) how to swordfight!
Charming as Sheriff? Set photos from the new season make it look like David/Charming has taken over as Sheriff — he's wearing a gun holster and everything. (Does he even know how to use a gun?)
Titillating and satisfying: Ginnifer told Digital Spy that Snow and Charming's relationship will be "titillating" this season, saying "I think it's going to be as satisfying and frustrating as it was last season, but for totally different reasons!"
Once Upon a Time Season 2 premieres on September 30, 2012 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Few salespeople have that "hunter" mentality — the willingness to open new doors and cold-start relationships. Ideally, salespeople want clients who have stood up, raised their hands, and said, "I'm interested." We want them already warmed up, interested in talking about what we have to offer, and coming our way. We want to answer their calls, rather than the other way around.
I heard this question of "referability" while listening to a Success CD. It was an interview with Dan Kennedy, entrepreneur, speaker, author and marketing guru, who shared his four keys to "referability." This list is so simple and yet so profound.
There is no magic bullet to being referable. Most of the tips on this list are common sense — they remind us of manners we learned in kindergarten — but they are not so commonly applied in today's marketplace. It's unfortunate that these actions can be differentiators when applied consistently.
Here are four key tips for referability.
1. Be on time
A friend and highly successful entrepreneur often said, "If you can't be on time, be early." I'm usually on time, always call if not, but definitely have room for improvement. This will go on my accountability plan immediately.
2. Finish what you start
There are many great starters out there, but few strong finishers. Finish strong, and then start something new. Be complete.

A finer man would be almost impossible to find. Larry was a friend to everyone, very dedicated to his family, his job and certainly to his church. If you needed to see a Christian young man, you could look at Larry Davis.
We all will miss you Larry.

There is no finer example of a Christian, a Brother or a Soul than that of Mike Davis. Proverbs 18:24 speaks of a "...friend that sticketh closer than a brother". Mike was that friend. God Speed My Brother, I will miss you sorely.

Truly the world, this community was a better place having known him. A true friend, wonderful father and husband, a Christian man exemplary in in everyting he did, never complained, always eager to help. The kind of man we all hope that we might one day be. Job well done, life well lived.

43cop and budcollier1956 have said it all. I don't know of anything else to say about Larry Michael Davis. A finer man you'll not fine.
Jacob 3 years, 5 months ago
Thanks for leading by example, Larry. The world is a little more grey in your absense.
kprichter 3 years, 5 months ago
What a priviledge to have know Mike - that is who I knew him as :). He as such a fine Christian man with the sweetest family around. My prayers are will you all. Praying for God's peace for you in the days and months ahead.

I've been buying feed since 1985 and the ONLY reason that people try feed OTHER than Purina starts with the cost. Purina is ALWAYS more expensive. I've heard complaints about Purina, but many of them prove to be unfounded. For INSTANCE, I was told that Purina dog chow rips up your dog's intestines, but my Vet told me that they have a delicate digestive system and any quick food change will produce digestive upsets and sometimes blood in the stool.
Regarding Purina Equine Senior I saw results on "Corporal," (1982-2009, RIP), and "Ro Go Bar, (1982-2009, RIP) in their old age that the other senior feed products did NOT produce.
Nutrena is probably okay, but they compete directly with Purina, as well as other lesser known feeds. And, it's hard to find it on the road. Purina is available everywhere. Just mho, for what it's worth. =D

Durga Ashtami is also known as Maha Ashtami which is one of the most important day of Navratri. Astra Puja is performed during this day. It is the ritual of worshipping the weapons of Goddess Durga used to kill Mahishasur. This day is also called as Virashtami and many shows are put up to portray the significance of martial art forms and use of arms and weapons.

In places like Kolkata, the city seems to halt for ten days in order to celebrate Durga Puja. Puja tents or pandals are spread over all places. Competitions are also held for the most beautiful pandals and decoration. Kali temples in Kolkata organise for sacrifices during the time of Sandhi Puja. Buffalos and goats are sacrificed in front of goddess to portray her superior power.

New Baja Designs Squadron LED Motorcycle Light
View Single Post
Aaron S
Joined: May 2002
Location: San Fernando Valley
Oddometer: 6,763
More photos...
Dead end paved road. The little red dots at the center of each frame are reflectors just a bit under 2/10th of a mile away as measured by my Garmin 276C. Again, all photos were taken with a Canon Powershot G12.
All photos taken at 4sec f/7.1 ISO 500
First up, just to set some sort of haphazard standard, my truck low beam head lights. 2 x 55w:
Next the truck high beams. With the high beams the white fence the reflectors are mounted on becomes visable. 2 x 55w and 2 x 60w:
Yeah yeah, my trucked is aimed a bit the the left. For the moto lights I held them in front of the truck light which is about the same height as a dual sport. I did my best to aim each beam at the reflectors.
As before, the TT lights are first and as last time I let each beam "warm up".
TT 2" spot HID. Again the fence is visable.
TT 4" flood HID. The fence has faded a bit but this is a good broad beam pattern IMO.
Again the Canon G12 is picking up the very slight blue-ish hue in the light and making it more green than in reality. I am sure someone who knows more about HID lights and digital cameras could tell me why and how to fix it... But oh well. The amount of light and the beam pattern is accurate. The light is white to the eye.
Lastly, the Baja Designs Squadron. Speaks for itself.

Fake ads? I did a lot of them years ago, mostly for my friends in the Rendo Bryce Forum. Here are a few. Let me know if you'd like to see more.
Good to see some more people that do fake ads. Lets see some more. I'm surprised to see Bryce used in this way. I ONLY use it for space scenes and landscapes only. I'm a DAZ Studio fan forever (until I learn how to use my other programs like Maya, ZBrush, etc)
My favorite is the Alien-like poster. Are all of your ads for Bryce forum?

DESPITE the numerous warnings about extreme weather, rising sea levels and mass extinctions, one message seems to have got lost in the debate about the impact of climate change. A warmer world won't just be inconvenient. Huge swathes of it, including most of Europe, the US and Australia as well as all of Africa and China will actually be uninhabitable - too hot, dry or stormy to sustain a human population.
This is no mirage. It could materialise if the world warms by an average of just 4 °C, which some scientists fear could happen as soon as 2050. This is the world our children and grandchildren are going to have to live in. So what are we going to do about it?
One option is to start planning to move the at-risk human population to parts of the world where it will still be cool and wet

Firing bean bags and rubber bullets while spraying mace into a crowd of concert goers, Los Angeles Sheriff Department deputies closed down Sunset Boulevard from Doheny Avenue to San Vincente Boulevard for two hours last night. Backed up by members of the Los Angeles Police Department's riot squad and the Beverly Hills Police Department, LASD arrived as patrons exited a punk rock nostalgia show featuring Ill Repute, TSOL and Youth Brigade at the Key Club on Sunset Blvd.
The riot began around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night, and closed down Sunset Blvd. — the scene of much earlier clashes between law enforcement and non-mainstream types, like 1966's hippie riots immortalized in the film Riot on the Sunset Strip and the punk rock riot when Black Flag played the Whiskey in August of 1982. Their second show for that hot August night was canceled.
The Whiskey's manager told the Los Angeles Times that
it wasn't really a riot until the police showed up.
Kinda' like last night.
By 11:00 p.m., patrons of other clubs were told to go to their cars or stay inside. Here's an eyewitness account which differs substantially from that given by law enforcement.
According to man-about-town and punk rocker Andre Boutilier, before he and his friend entered the club to see the second billed act TSOL, there was scuffle at the club's entrance. The guy causing the problem was joined by a couple of buddies; more bouncers joined in the melee. When Boutilier and his companion entered the club,
We noticed there were no bouncers that we could see, and so we figured they were outside dealing with the situation. After TSOL, we went backstage to chat with the guys. A club staffer came back and said Youth Brigade would not be going on, and told them to pack it up and leave. No announcement had yet been made in main part of [the 450-person capacity club]. We helped the bands get their stuff together and walked out with them chatting on the way to their cars. We saw about 50 or 60 kids out front and overheard them being told that they couldn't go in, despite having tickets. [La Figa: Well, yeah, the show was over]. That's when the sheriffs started arriving, just a few cars at first, some of which set up a barricade to the west, towards Beverly Hills. Even before fans left the club, the sheriffs were announcing that this was an illegal assembly and anyone remaining in the area would be arrested.
Boutilier and his friend had already left the venue and ducked into Shamrock Studio Tattoo. They witnessed the sheriff department's riot squad take their position. About ten minuted after they were in place, fans were let out of club. It appeared to Boutilier that in a move coordinated between the club and LASD, patrons were being keep inside until the riot police were in place. [cont'd.]
As patrons were exiting, the sheriffs made another announcement that everyone should walk east, while repeating that this was an illegal assembly.
Patrons tried to move eastward, but it was very slow going as 450 people squeezed into the sidewalk, some looking for their friends, others confused. They didn't move fast enough for the sheriff's riot squad, which started firing rubber bullets with backup by the LAPD and Beverly Hills Police Department. Both KTLA and FOX News LA covered the scene. Fox's on-air coverage varies from Boutilier's and KTLA's reports; FOX's spin on the incident suggests the fans started the riot by throwing rocks and bottles, in opposition to the other stories.
Boutilier who I spoke to at 4:00 a.m. before any news aired told me,
stupid kids threw rocks and bottles after the rubber bullets were fired.
(in the video the narrator says "automatic guns; he meant gunfire)
Boutilier sums it up on his FB page:
Police overreact to minor conflict outside club. Shutdown the show before YB can take the stage. Then fire rubber bullets into crowd, unload industrial fire extinguisher filled with mace. Beat up the wrong kids. In their defense some idiot kids throw bottles at the cops that broke at their feet which was stupid of them.
The versions aired by KTLA — yes I've watched the local news from 4:30 a.m. on — showed police arriving, firing of rubber bullets, macing the crowd, and then the fans throwing rocks and bottles.
Even with editing footage from the two-hour long riot, the footage on KTLA broadcast supports Boutilier's version, showing a sheriff's deputy holding a large canister of mace and spraying several nonviolent patrons at close range as they walked away form the club.
What KTLA didn't show (perhaps because of fallout from Rodney King video and the MacArthur Park May Day riot?) but Boutilier saw:
The deputy, after he emptied the canister, began hitting kids with the metal container and several other officers had to pull him off.
The official law enforces chronology is different from that of Boutilier and KTLA. LAPD's Sgt. S. Ruda told the LA Weekly:
Bouncers at the club got into it with fans outside the club, and responding deputies were met with rocks and bottles…Deputies responded and some patrons started forming a crowd..More deputies responded and they started taking bottles and rocks.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies arrived in riot gear and used rubber bullets and mace to try and tame the hostile crowd. The rowdy group threw rocks and bottles at deputies.
There have have been three reports televised by KTLA so far, each one progressively making fans look worse, but still showing the sheriff's firing before fans react violently; one kids is shown kicking a street sign, and people are indeed throwing rocks — totally stupid. Don't you ever wonder where these urban rocks come from? I have walked up and down Sunset plenty of times and never seen a rock. Bottles, yeah, but not a lot of them, and trash cans aren't that easy to dig into in the hope of finding a bottle. The second KTLA report had a voice over from the Sheriffs' Dept. explaining that the sheriffs responded to a 911 call from the Key Club and showed up; once patrons exited the club, they started throwing things at the sheriffs.

YIELD: Serves 8
Peel the potatoes and rinse under cold water. Cut each into quarters and place in a 3-to 4-quart saucepan. Cover with cold water, partially cover the pot, and bring the water to a boil. Uncover, add the 1 teaspoon of salt, and reduce the heat so the water boils gently. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until the butter has melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pan over low heat for 1 minute to evaporate any excess water. Use a potato masher, ricer, or food mill to mash the potatoes. Stir the milk and butter mixture into the potatoes, a little at a time, until the potatoes are as soft and moist as you like. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or keep warm in the top of a double boiler, or cover and rewarm in a microwave oven.

Emma Stone described her character, Gwen Stacy, as a "daddy's girl". Stone dyed her hair blonde just for the role, as opposed to her usual and more well-known appearance with her red hair. In fact, Stone's natural hair color is blonde.
Stone had this to say about the fans who would be protective of Spider-Man and the character she plays: "There's a part of me that really wants to please people that love Spider-Man or Gwen Stacy and want her to be done justice. I hope they'll give me license to interpret her my way. But that fan base, I'm one of them, so I completely understand why they would be judgmental of certain things."

Padres apparently banking on Latos not becoming an ace
Mat Latos is less than a sure thing and more than a lottery ticket. He is a pitching prodigy in need of personal growth, alternately exciting and exasperating, sometimes unhittable, sometimes uncoachable.
In trading this manchild of the mound to the Cincinnati Reds, Padres General Manager Josh Byrnes has sided with the safety of numbers against the possibility that Latos will grow up to be Tom Seaver. Byrnes has swapped baseball's scarcest commodity — potentially dominant starting pitching — for three prospects and a veteran pitcher, Edinson Volquez, whose recent past includes both a 50-game drug suspension and Tommy John surgery.
Since most Padres fans have recently graduated from nagging doubt to severe skepticism, their default position is to wonder how this deal cuts costs. But since money does not appear to be a motive, and because the industry consensus seems to be that the deal is slanted in the Friars' favor, the main reservation worth expressing would be if you believed the Home Team has forsaken Latos too fast.
Should the right-handed tattoo canvas Hacksaw Hamilton cloyingly calls "Kid Gun" evolve into a top-of-the-rotation stopper of the Justin Verlander variety, the Padres could be getting the short end of the Louisville Slugger. Yet if Latos is something less than that, and the Cincinnati prospects are something more than warm bodies, there could be a lot to like here.
ESPN's Jim Bowden, formerly the general manager of the Reds and Washington Nationals, compared the deal to the NFL's 1989 "Great Train Robbery," in which the Dallas Cowboys built the foundation for several Super Bowls by sending running back Herschel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings.
"This is a clear win of a trade for the Padres and their general manager, Josh Byrnes," Bowden said. "In modern times, I can't remember a trade that was this far lopsided."
In addition to Volquez, once a 17-game winner, the Padres have acquired three of the Reds' top 10 prospects from last month's Baseball America rankings: first baseman Yonder Alonso (No. 3), catcher Yasmani Grandal (No. 4) and right-handed pitcher Brad Boxberger (No. 10). Potential is not the same thing as production (see Rizzo, Anthony), but this seems like a pretty steep price for a pitcher with Latos' career ledger.
"You have to give up something to get a quality young pitcher like this," Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty said. "Potential No. 1 starters don't come along that often."
When he's right, there's not much wrong with Mat Latos. During one scintillating span in 2010, Latos matched a major league record by holding opponents to two runs or fewer for 15 straight starts. He throws hard. He throws strikes. His career strikeout-to-walk ratio is better than 3-to-1, and he has averaged just 7.6 hits per nine innings across 72 major league starts.
Yet some of the headaches Latos imparted during a tumultuous rise through the Padres' system resurfaced last season, and slippage was seen in some of the areas in which he had been showing progress. He was sometimes too open about criticizing umpires, and sometimes too closed-minded about instruction. He was, too often, a headstrong handful.

MECHANICSVILLE, Iowa - A possible explosion and fire destroyed a single-family home in the Cedar County community of Mechanicsville Thursday morning. No one was home at the time.
Mechanicsville volunteer fire chief, Lonni Koch said flames were shooting out the front door when firefighters arrived. While the report came in as an explosion and then a fire, the chief said it's impossible to tell now which happened first.
There were medical devices inside including oxygen tanks that could have exploded from the fire. The Iowa Fire Marshal's Office will investigate the cause.
The house is owned by Cassie Forde, 29, who lived there with her three children. Forde was not home at the time. The children were either in school or preschool.

They actually put some wrestling in this.
They actually put some wrestling in this.
I would move Karelin ahead of Sanderson and I would move Iowa wrestling above UCLA for the championship streak. But I guess it is the most revered streaks and wrestling is not as revered as the big three sports ins the media's or Americas eyes.
I am sorry, but I am a huge baseball fan and I've never understood the fascination with Dimaggio's hit streak. It happened at a time when America needed something to look forward too, that's it and I understand people of that age latching on. But, come on. As far as baseball records go, that one could be beaten by any jackal who plays 57 straight games. You always have a chance to get a hit if you swing the bat.
The Johnny Vander Meer consecutive no hitters is what is really impressive. Think about it, the only way to beat that record is to pitch THREE CONSECUTIVE NO HITTERS! Won't happen. I am not saying Dimaggio's streak will be broken, just saying it gets too much credit when this one gets none.
I can't believe the "last word" thread from the other forum didn't make the cut.
Jimmie Johnson/Nascar what a crock of mule dung. About the only one I do agree with in their ranking is DiMag. Obviously the ranking was developed by some dweeb from the south wannabe that always read about sports in the newspaper, but didn't participate because of his 4 eyes.
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
Not a streak, but records not to be broken any time soon, if ever.

I do understand the use of the rear brake and clutch to control slow movement on the bike...but off road over rough terrain I find it very difficult to smoothly modulate the rear brake [peddle location and lack of feel] and mostly refuse to slip the clutch since dry clutch's do not appreciate being slipped...much better for a dry clutch to be all in or all out...on pavement that is easier to accomplish...off road, particularly over irregular surfaces and up or downhill having a smooth throttle response [not just on tip in or out] can make all the difference for me and saves my clutch.

S Africa vs New Zealand
Over 19 Morkel 4-0-1wd-1-1-4-1
135-8 - Hira finds the fence again, this time straight past the bowler. Bracewell, too, fetching four through backward square-leg.
Over 18 Kleinvedlt 0-1-4-0-0-1
123-8 - Hira rides his luck, to-edging four over the diving wicketkeeper's head.
Over 17 McLaren 1-0-1-W-W-1
117-8 - WICKET! Non-striker Anderson thinks McCullum's drive has gone past the bowler, who is quick to react and duly whips off the bails. WICKET! Bracewell in now, and watches from the other side of the pitch as McCullum planks the ball down the throat of Peterson on the cover fence.
Over 16 Morkel 0-4-1-1-1-2
114-6 - Morkel and de Kock they have McCullum caught behind, but umpire Holdstock begs to differ. The batsman then rubs salt in the proverbial wounds by edging the next delivery for four.
Over 15 McLaren 0-2-1-1-4-1wd-1
105-6 - More premeditation, this time from McCullum, who gets down to one knee to dink four over short fine-leg.
Over 14 Peterson W-0-1-1-4-2
95-6 - WICKET! Neesham, on the reverse sweep, picks out a fielder too, with New Zealand batsman dropping like veritable flies here. Great catch from Morkel. Anderson in now.
Over 13 Phangiso 0-4-W-1-1-1
87-5 - WICKET! Franklin tries to get under one, but doesn't have the carry over long-on. The shot was too low, too flat - and the fielder takes a comfortable catch on the fence. That's three wickets for Phangiso - far stronger than his figures in East London. McCullum in now.
Over 12 Ontong 6-0-0-1-1-1
80-4 - Right on cue, an off-spinner is into the attack - and soon lofted high and hard over long-off for six by Franklin.
Over 11 Peterson 1-0-0-4-1-1lb
71-4 - Left-arm Peterson gets through a tight enough over, but he soon gestures to his captain that an off-spinner should be brought into the attack to turn the ball away from the left-handers.
Over 10 McLaren 1-0-0-W-0-4
64-4 - WICKET! An ineffective innings from Munro ends, with a faint inside edge floating through to the wicketkeeper. McLaren's marginal lateral movement outdid the batsman, whose useless footwork did not help. Neesham in now.
Over 9 Phangiso 0-1-W-1-1-1
59-3 - WICKET! Another big breakthrough for Phangiso, who has McCullum hole out on the off-side. The asking rate is climbing quickly, so his bid to attack that delivery was on cue - to no avail, though. Franklin in now.
Over 8 Kleinveldt 1-0-0-0-1-0
55-2 - Kleinveldt switches to around the wicket in a bid to cramp the right-handers for room. The choice works, just two singles conceded this over.
Over 7 Phangiso 6-1-1-0-0-W
53-2 - More left-arm spin, which Guptill confidently launches six high and hard over the off-side. Phangiso does well to close a potentially expensive over on the quiet, though, and remove the dangerous opener too. WICKET! Guptill went on the sweep, but played at it too early, and watched in dismay as the leading edge bobbled into the hands of the man at short-leg. That's a huge first international wicket for the spinner. Munro in now.
Over 6 Kleinveldt 1-1-1-4-0-0
45-1 - Another right-arm seamer into the attack. Du Plessis maintains an attacking field, with two slips in place for Guptill. None in place for McCullum, though, with four perfectly placed wide of backward point. At least one slip might have him think twice about that particular shot.
Over 5 Morkel 0-4-4-0-0-1
37-1 - Guptill picking up where he left off in East London, slicing back-to-back fours through the cover region. Morkel needs to consider shortening his length.
Over 4 Peterson 4-0-1-6-0-4
29-1 - Guptill's brute force brings him four down the ground, after which a deft touch brings him a single wide of short thirdman. McCullum, meanwhile, reamains in the thick of it - lofting six over long-off. Big over for New Zealand - keeping them in the contest.
Over 3 Morkel 0-2-0-4-0-0
14-1 - McCullum takes in a string of sighters outside his off-stump, and then decides some extra length must be driven to the fence for four.
Over 2 Peterson 0-0-0-1-0-0
8-1 - One of South Africa's two left-arm spinners to open the attack alongside the seamer. Not much turn, but he won't give an inch in line and lenght. A mere single from the over.
Over 1 McLaren 1-1-4-W-1-0
7-1 - WICKET! Nicol's first and last runs for the day amout to four cut through backward point, after which McLaren traps him lbw dead in front of the stumps. That, indeed, was an awkward forward-defence. McCullum in now.
New Zealand's Chase
All and sundry back out in the middle, with Nicol and Guptill to open the batting. A stiff target of 180 needed.

Back pain (also known "dorsalgia") is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
The pain may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache, or a sharp or piercing or burning sensation. The pain may be felt in the neck (and might radiate into the arm and hand), in the upper back, or in the low back, (and might radiate into the leg or foot), and may include symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling.
Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain (also called lumbago) is the fifth most common reason for physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.
The spine is a complex interconnecting network of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerves that originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities.
Back pain does not usually require immediate medical intervention. The vast majority of episodes of back pain are self-limiting and non-progressive. Most back pain syndromes are due to inflammation, especially in the acute phase, which typically lasts for two weeks to three months.
A few observational studies suggest that two conditions to which back pain is often attributed, lumbar disc herniation and degenerative disc disease may not be more prevalent among those in pain than among the general population, and that the mechanisms by which these conditions might cause pain are not known. Other studies suggest that for as many as 85% of cases, no physiological cause can be shown.
A few studies suggest that psychosocial factors such as on-the-job stress and dysfunctional family relationships may correlate more closely with back pain than structural abnormalities revealed in x-rays and other medical imaging scans.
Muscle strains (pulled muscles) are commonly identified as the cause of back pain, as are muscle imbalances. Pain from such an injury often remains as long as the muscle imbalances persist. The muscle imbalances cause a mechanical problem with the skeleton, building up pressure at points along the spine, which causes the pain.
Another cause of acute low back pain is a meniscoid occlusion. The more mobile regions of the spine, such as the facet joints, have invaginations of their synovial membranes that act as a cushion to help the bones move over each other smoothly. The synovial membrane is well supplied with blood and nerves. When these become pinched or trapped sudden severe pain may result. The pinching causes the membrane to become inflamed, causing greater pressure and ongoing pain. Symptoms include severe low back pain that may be accompanied by muscle spasm, pain with walking, concentration of pain to one side, but no radiculopathy (radiating pain down buttock and leg). Relief should be felt with flexion (bending forward),and exacerbated with extension (bending backward).
When back pain lasts more than three months, or if there is more radicular pain (sciatica) than back pain, a more specific diagnosis can usually be made. There are several common causes of back pain: for adults under age 50, these include spinal disc herniation and degenerative disc disease or isthmic spondylolisthesis; in adults over age 50, common causes also include osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) and spinal stenosis, trauma, cancer, infection, fractures, and inflammatory disease Non-anatomical factors can also contribute to or cause back pain, such as stress, repressed anger, or depression. Even if there is an anatomical cause for the pain, if depression is present it should also be treated concurrently.
New attention has been focused on non-discogenic back pain, where patients have normal or near-normal MRI and CT scans. One of the newer investigations looks into the role of the dorsal ramus in patients that have no radiographic abnormalities. See Posterior Rami Syndrome.
The management goals when treating back pain are to achieve maximal reduction in pain intensity as rapidly as possible; to restore the individual's ability to function in everyday activities; to help the patient cope with residual pain; to assess for side-effects of therapy; and to facilitate the patient's passage through the legal and socioeconomic impediments to recovery. For many, the goal is to keep the pain to a manageable level to progress with rehabilitation, which then can lead to long term pain relief. Also, for some people the goal is to use non-surgical therapies to manage the pain and avoid major surgery, while for others surgery may be the quickest way to feel better.
Not all treatments work for all conditions or for all individuals with the same condition, and many find that they need to try several treatment options to determine what works best for them. The present stage of the condition (acute or chronic) is also a determining factor in the choice of treatment. Only a minority of back pain patients (most estimates are 1% - 10%) require surgery.
A 2008 randomized controlled trial found marked improvement in addressing back pain with The Alexander Technique. Exercise and a combination of 6 lessons of AT reduced back pain 72% as much as 24 AT lessons. Those receiving 24 lessons had 18 fewer days of back pain than the control median of 21 days.
Biomechanical factors of pregnancy that are shown to be associated with low back pain of pregnancy include abdominal sagittal and transverse diameter and the depth of lumbar lordosis. Typical factors aggravating the back pain of pregnancy include standing, sitting, forward bending, lifting, and walking. Back pain in pregnancy may also be characterized by pain radiating into the thigh and buttocks, night-time pain severe enough to wake the patient pain that is increased during the night-time, or pain that is increased during the daytime. The avoidance of high impact, weight-bearing activities and especially those that asymmetrically load involved structures such as: extensive twisting with lifting, single-leg stance postures, stair climbing, and repetitive motions at or near the end-ranges of back or hip motion.

I am using C8.5 beta, and I made an alpha map for a characters jeans to be shorts. Works great. Saved the whole character so I could try her in other scenes.
Dropped her in Howie's Maple Meadows to see how she worked….and the alpha map does not work in Assembly room or render? If I go to the materials, it shows, renders and works in the preview?
What would be causing it to work fine in the materials but not in render or assembly room? Any thoughts?
