/\<--- wth was that?
kk, here comes the... umm... err... what? umm... o rly? ... ya rly... oh, yeah, the very,very, very, very, very long body segment.
k, here are t3h 1337 videos that I kinda promised, but didn't really gurantee. well, they're right here. right below this. ok, I'm gonna stop with that now.
dang.... the videos aren't working. I guess webs is having some kinof feud with youtube or something... well, search youtube for:
electro gypsy
narwhals <-- i've never actually watched it, I heard my friend listening to it.
Australia (very annoying)
make sure that it's a mr weebl video. (the first few times through, you might want to watch electro gypsy with the lyrics. mr weebl does not put it with lyrics.)
And now the games, with one that you can install on your computer (it literally takes one and a half to three seconds to install)
... I can't seem to get the games to work either. maybe i'll sell cds with my stuff on it in the web store... i could make a couple bucks off of that...
bye for now mah pplz
Following this letter will be a couple (maybe 2-4) polls that will help me figure out things like what to add to the web shop and what to make the game like. also, some polls might decide who gets to get promoted to co-admin (or w/e) also, i am making a clan on roblox and anybody that joins will be promoted to admin in all of my places (I say all in hopes that i can get turbo builder's club). Let's begin:
lol i have made 3 new sections i one day... also, i won't be able to put TFO on this site (probably) and i will have to make my own website (or just one page, to store the game) and i will post a link in the sidebar (if i figure out how). in the chipmunk face, take the . of the ! as the nose, the OO as the eyes, and the long part as the face stripe thing... ok, now the videos. (I think all songs)
I am going to introduce a new policy for tri-fighters (the website and the game). For the website, the policy is as follows: I will take any ideas from anybody that posts ideas on the forums (this rule goes for the game also) I will update the site weekly and the game bi-weekly or monthly
I'm currently taking a week long (actually, i'm in class right now) flash animation class, and will be able to produce badly drawn animations to show you and stuff. unfortunately, I am only thaking this class for fun and will not be able to use these animations in TFO. I might use this program (if the teachers let us keep a copy of the program) to make an advertisement or movie for tri-fighters online, even though it will probably be very bad.
I recently joined the roblox ambassador program and in order to get 2 tix (meh, not much) i need to post a link onto my profile. please click on it and go to my place on roblox.
I have some very tragic news to tell you. sit down, you may need something to prevent you from falling when you faint. Billy Mays is dead! So is Michael Jackson! also, some famous noob named farrah fawcett died...
For the duration of the waiting period for tri-fighters, please watch these (funny) youtube videos.

Andy Sewell Updates
Andy Sewell manages to portray an England that is both recognisable and foreign. His pictures have that great feeling of familiarity yet they also hold a deeper sense of unease. Projects like The Heath contain a world that is simultaneously urban and wild and his new body of work called Countryside certainly offers a new portrait on rural life. A delight to look at.

No fireclay for dome
Hi out there - I've been looking at this forum for a few weeks now whilst I've been building my WFO. During this time I was expecting to be able to find some fireclay for when I was ready to build my dome however everyone that I've tried e-mailing/phoning in the UK doesn't have it in stock.
I've looked at some posts that say that a sand/lime/portland mix is ok for building the dome - has anyone tried this and does it work? I'd hate to build the thing and watch it fall down on my first pizza!!
Re: No fireclay for dome
Hi Chris, and welcome aboard.
Your mix for your mortar joints would be fine. I used that for my 40" Pompeii but I did also have a 1 part fireclay inclusion in the mix.
I have several bags here but the freight would kill you.
Your oven if built properly should be self supporting but the mortar fills in the gaps and helps hold it together. When I put in my final 2 keystone blocks, I immediately removed the sand form and stood on the top. If was going to fail, then best then rather than later.
I have just built a new steel framed patio and had 2 adults standing on it to stand up the end rather large and heavy steel truss. Again a gross overload but no problems.
Go for it and get it underway.
Also you might like to check out my build for a few ideas and tips.
Re: No fireclay for dome
Thanks for this Neill - I've been a bought the lime and am starting to lay my oven floor today. I'll post some photo's when I get chance
Re: No fireclay for dome
Chris, I'm not sure what you are doing to cut bricks, but if you are using a wetsaw, the dust/mud that collects in the water tray is essentially fireclay. I have (as have many others), re-purposed that stuff into the mortar recipe.
If you are using a dry saw, with all of the dust flying into the air, I think you'll be out of luck.

Name of Project
Turkey Wreath
Ages This Project is Suitable For
10 and up
Approximate Time Required to Complete This Project
1 - 2 hours
Materials Needed
Tulle, wreath (I used a straw wreath), craft foam
I cut pieces of tulle and knotted them around the wreath. Brown for the bottom half (the turkey's body) and alternating colors to resemble the feathers for the top half. I also made another turkey wreath where I alternated the colors all the way around the wreath for a different effect of the feathers. The face was cut from different colors of foam and glued to the center of the wreath (covering the center of the wreath).
Tips and Tricks
- The size of your wreath will determine how long your pieces of tulle need to be (and how full you want your wreath to be). I used an 8 inch wreath with the tulle cut into 14 inch pieces.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Running Mocs will head to Birmingham, Ala., Saturday morning for the NCAA South Region Cross Country meet at Veterans Park.
The last time UTC ran the region meet at Veterans Park was in 1998 when the Mocs, led by three-time Southern Conference Runner of the Year Nic Crider, claimed the region title and became the first UTC to qualify for the NCAA National Championships.
Chattanooga, led by senior Emmanuel Kirwa (Kapsabet, Kenya), the only other three-time SoCon Runner of the Year, will try to see if history will repeat itself. Junior Chris Berry (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and freshman Lucas Cotter (Collierville, Tenn.) turned in all-conference performances for the Mocs at the league championships with Cotter claiming SoCon Freshman of the Year honors.
The Mocs will need junior Josh Vasquez (Kingsport, Tenn.) and senior David Moore (Sarnia, Ontario) to step up for the Mocs, who are ranked eighth in the South Region, to have a shot at one of two spots for an automatic qualification.
Florida State and Alabama have held onto the top two spots in the rankings followed by Florida, Tennessee and Kennesaw State.
The women, led by all-conference performer senior Anneli Uys (Somerville, Australia) , are ranked 12th in the South Region standings after falling out briefly earlier this season. Senior Tara Gietema (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished 19th for the Lady Mocs at the league championships and senior Shelley Taylor (Cohutta, Ga.) was 25th in the results.
The women's 6K race will start at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Standard Time followed by the men's 10K event at 11:45 a.m. Results will be available at GoMocs.com following the race and at cfpitiming.com.

Rubber SEO: Bounce Rates Review
Posted By Eric On May 25, 2010 @ 8:21 am In Analytics | No Comments
What is the bounce rate?
The bounce rate is the measurement of how how many people visited your site and clicked off your site without going to any other page on your site. Not to be confused with the Exit rate, the bounce rate is mostly concerned with those visitors who don't do anything on your site. In your analytics software you'll see that your bounce rate is portrayed as a percentage. The higher the percentage the more people came to your site and left without clicking anywhere.
How is bounce rate calculated?
Bounce rate is calculated by taking the number of visitors who visit a page on your site during a certain time frame divided by the number of single page views for one page during the same time frame. In other words if you have 10,000 unique visitors and 4,000 of those were single page views, you get .40 or 40% as a bounce rate.
When does the bounce rate matter?
Bounce rate matters a lot if you are in e-commerce. You are using your SEO-yness and smooth graphic design, fast loading times and intuitive usability-ness to convert as many visitors into online sales. A high bounce rate means a couple things:
If you are directly selling to online visitors, the bounce rate is a prime indication of how people view your site. However, even then there are people that bookmark pages and come back to purchase so don't think that the bounce rate is a solid rate of acceptance of your page.
When doesn't the bounce rate matter?
Believe it or not there are situations where the bounce rate doesn't really matter. Some companies aren't e-commerce related and people either go to the site to get a phone number or look for updated special deals. Sports scores, stock prices, forum updates, all these tend to increase a bounce rate, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad thing. If your site lends itself to this, you may want to consider looking at your "returning visitors" number vs. the "new visitors" number.
What are good bounce rates?
This depends on the site, your demographic and industry. While you may try to achieve a 0%, that's pretty difficult if not impossible. 50% and above is cause for concern. If your SEO efforts are bringing people to your site, you don't want them to leave due to something
you have neglected. Make sure your page is clear in purpose and gives a straight line to "call to action."
Will bad bounce rates affect SEO?
Failing to identify and understand user interests is an SEO Mistake [1]. That's what the bounce rate quickly measures. If you are clear in your purpose and usability to the right audience, you are being relevant and valuable to those you want to reach. That is the heart of SEO.

Comcast HD channels back online
Michele Marcotte – Shreveport Times – Shreveport, LA
After a power surge damaged Comcast equipment causing local service to go out late Sunday, the last of the high definition channels are back online, according to company spokeswoman Frances Smith.
Smith said the majority of service was restored within two hours of Sunday's outage but eight high-definition channels remained out until 7:30 p.m. Monday.
"We deeply regret the inconvenience to our customers," she said.
The surge damaged some of the equipment that puts out some HD channels but everything was back up by Monday night, Smith said.
Shreveport residents have voiced discontent with the cable provider in the last few years. The city's contract with the company ended in 2012, and since it has been on a month-to-month basis.
Earlier this month, Councilman Ron Webb told the council he would like a company representative to detail how the company plans to improve service in 2013.
Smith said she plans to attend the March 12 meeting.

Sebastian Vettel has overcome a first-lap crash to clinch his third straight Formula One title after a thrilling race in Brazil that saw Jenson Button win his third race of the season.
Finishing sixth in an incident-filled track in Sao Paolo was just enough for the German. He held off Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the only other driver contending for the title, and at age 25 became the youngest three-time champion in Formula One.
Alonso had a superb start on a volatile first lap at Interlagos, and finished second, but that wasn't enough to erase Vettel's lead in the standings.
Lewis Hamilton was leading in his final race with McLaren when Nico Hulkenberg crashed into him while trying to make a pass on a slippery track with 17 laps to go.
The sport's most successful driver, Michael Schumacher, finished seventh in his final show off after 19 seasons.
The race came to a close under the safety car when Force India's Paul di Resta slammed into the barriers on his penultimate lap in heavy rain.

Comments about Versus Cologne:
This has 80's powerhouse-like impact overlaying a creamy, lemony oriental woody. Like putting a powerhouse "chypre" on top of Chanel's Allure Homme Edition Blanche. Surprisingly alluring, and attractive. Great performance. A friend recommended this one to me. I didn't think I would like these "dated" or "vintage" compositions, but I was wrong. I could say that Versus by Versace was ahead of it's time.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The second night of its Louisville stop, Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company elicited a warm reception from the audience. Jim Sullivan and Judy Nielsen were in attendance at the Kentucky Center for the Shen Yun performance on May 1.
Mr. Sullivan, retired coordinator of the Food Hygiene Program of the Environmental Health and Protection Division, said at intermission that he was enjoying the performance and mentioned that the traditional Chinese dance and music company put on an extremely colorful performance. Ms. Nielsen agreed.
Through music and dance, principally through classical Chinese dance, New York-based Shen Yun aims to revive 5,000 years of divinely inspired Chinese civilization.
Ms. Nielsen, retired from the health department in Louisville, enjoyed the cultural aspect of the performance. "It was nice to see different cultural things," she said.
Mr. Sullivan particularly enjoyed When Shaolin Monks Protected the Emperor, which tells the legend of how the famous Shaolin monastery came to allow the eating of meat, typically taboo for monks.
Dancing for the Gods was another dance that stood out for him. He said, "These last group of men, Tibetans, were very, very energetic. I really enjoyed them."
The program notes describe the appeal of this dance. "The dancers' crisp footwork and waving sleeves showcase the energy, power, and grace of traditional Tibetan dance, expressing a spirited beauty in the face of adversity."
"So far she likes the women the best—the way they hold themselves," Mr. Sullivan said of Ms. Nielsen's response.
Often audience members say that they appreciate the femininity and grace of the women dancers, who seem to float across the stage.
Both would encourage their friends to attend.

New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org.

What the Bible Says About Faith
Good News! | Man | God | » Faith | Commitment
Faith is the key that opens the door to Heaven. You could have a key ring with many keys on it like this...They may even look somewhat alike. But, you go to the front door on my house and try all of these keys except the right one and they would not open that door. It does not matter how sincere you are in exercising belief that a different key will open the door. The fact is that only the right key will open the door.
The right key to Heaven is called faith, saving faith. That is what will open the door to Heaven. There is nothing else in the world that will open that door no matter how sincere you are in exercising the practice or belief of something other than saving faith to open the door to Heaven. What is saving faith?
First I would like to discuss what saving faith is not. Saving faith is not mere intellectual assent to certain historical facts.
Some people believe in Jesus Christ the same way they believe in Napoleon or George Washington. They believe that he actually lived, and He was a real person in history, but they are not trusting Him to do anything for them now. THE DEVIL
The Bible says the devil believes in God. Did you know that? The Bible says, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well, the devils also believe and tremble" (James 2:19). So believing in God is not what the Bible means by saving faith. The demons in the Gadarene demoniac said, "What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of god? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" (Matthew 8:29) Even the demons believe in the deity of Christ! But they evidently weren't saved!
Let me share with you one other thing that people mistake for saving faith. That is mere temporal faith. When you have trusted in the Lord for your finances, you could call that financial-faith. You may have prayed and trusted the Lord to take care of your family - you could call that family-faith. You may have prayed and trusted the Lord to give you a safe trip - you could call this traveling-faith. There is one thing all these have in common. They are of a temporary nature. They are temporal. Once your financial need is met, you no longer need to trust the Lord for your finances. Once you have safely reached your destination, you don't need to trust the Lord for traveling faith.
All the things of this world shall pass away. They are temporary. Now many people I find, trust the Lord for all these temporary matters. But saving faith is trusting Christ to save you - eternally.WHAT IT IS Again I ask, what is saving faith? Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. The Bible says, "and they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." (Acts 16:31).THE CHAIR You do believe this chair exists don't you? Do you believe this chair would support me if I were to sit on it? But it is not supporting me now for a very simple reason. I am not sitting on it. for the sake of making my point, let the chair where I am sitting represent me, and this empty chair represent Jesus Christ. For a long time I believed He existed and could help me. But I did not have eternal life because I was trusting my own good works to support me into Heaven.
Remember what you said you would say to God if He asked why He should let you into Heaven? You said, "(repeat to them their answer to Question 2)". Who was the only person referred to in your answer? Who were you trusting to get you to Heaven when you said that?
To receive eternal life I must transfer my trust from myself to Jesus Christ alone.
If I am trusting Jesus Christ alone for eternal life, what is the motive for godly living?
A president of Princeton once said, "As a young man I accepted Christ and the gift of eternal life. All the rest of my life has been simply a P.S. to that day, saying, thank you Lord, for what you gave to me then."
The motive for Christian living is gratitude for the gift of eternal life. The Bible says, "The love of Christ constraineth us" (I Cor. 5:14).
Let's say that this pen in my right hand represents eternal life. There are only two relationships you can have to it. Either you have it, as my right hand does, or you don't have it as my left hand doesn't. If you don't have it and you believe it exists, you are going to want to get it. So you do the best you can; you love your neighbor, go to church, read the Bible, pray, give money, and then you say, "Lord here are all the things I've done. I hope I've done enough to get into Heaven."
But you see, in this case it becomes evident that everything that you've done has been for the motive of earning eternal life. There is this selfish motive underlying everything and so you couldn't possible get it.
We could never earn eternal life. The Bible says that God came to earth and on the cross in the person of his Son he paid for eternal life - an infinite price. By his graciousness he offers it to us freely as a gift. It is received by faith; and "Faith is the hand of a beggar reaching out to receive the gift of a King."
Many years ago, this beggar reached out an unworthy hand and received the gift of eternal life. I didn't deserve it then, I don't deserve it now - but I have it.
What does the bible say about commitment?

You know how you can tell everyone secretly loves porn? Because infographics about porn are so quick to be shared around the internet so everyone can learn more about beloved pornography (no matter how secret that love is).
Today, I have just the infographic for you. It's a little infographic to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of Lovelace, the Linda Lovelace bio-pic starring Amanda Seyfried.
But we don't care about that movie. We care about these 16 facts you may or may not know about porn.
Take a look:
I will say that the Top 5 richest pornstars they have listed is totally out of date because as we all know, Jenna Jameson is back in porn because she's broke.
And if you're looking at the average annual earnings of a pornstar and thinking, "DAMN! I know how I'm going to get rich in 2014." just think about this…The average NBA annual salary is roughly 6 million dollars but only the Lebron's, the Kobe's, and the Amar'e Stoudimre's (lol @ the Knicks) make the big money therefore inflating the average annual salary.

I'm really freaked out
I grew up in a pretty religious family. We went to church every Sunday, my Dad was involved in the church leadership, and my Mom would read us devotions every morning before school. Then my Dad died, and everything changed. I didn't really know what I thought about church, and especially the church that our family attended. I refused to go to our church youth group anymore because I hated it. It was full of a bunch of kids who all had the same goal in life: getting married. Sick. I have watched all of my peers in that church get married by age 20, and start popping out kids a few years later. Not for me. I wanted to go to school, get a job, and then consider marriage and kids. Well, my sophomore year of college, I met my boyfriend Nate. Our relationship became serious, and last fall, after 2 years of dating, decided to move in together.

Kentucky to host telethon to raise proceeds for those affected by Superstorm Sandy
Nov 4, 2012, 8:48 PM EDT
Two-plus years ago (January 2010) Kentucky head coach John Calipari organized a telethon to help out those affected by the earthquake that ravaged Haiti.
On Wednesday night Calipari and the Kentucky program will do the same, as players will work the phones to raise proceeds to help those in the Northeast who were hit hard by Superstorm Sandy.
According to Calipari donations made by callers will be matched, and 100% of the proceeds raised will go directly to the Sandy relief efforts.
"We've got some great ideas of things to either bid on or give this amount of money," said Calipari during the announcement according to the Associated Press.
"When we did it with Haiti, 70,000 calls came in and we couldn't take them all. We could only take 2,000. So we're going to hope to have it so that whoever calls in, that phone will be answered somewhere. This was devastating."
According to the school release the telethon, which runs from 7 to 8 PM EST on Wednesday, will air on affiliates of the UK/IMG Sports Network as well as online at WKYT.com.
And maybe this telethon will supply a ligher moment like this one involving former Wildcat DeMarcus Cousins during the Hoops for Haiti telethon.
For those who would like to donate at any time, the American Red Cross is accepting donations as well.

World of Goo SoonOctober 23rd, 2008 by redchaos
2D Boy and Greenhouse Interactive have announced that the Linux version of World of Goo will be available on the Greenhouse online game store. The 2008 Independent Games Festival award winner is priced at $19.95 US; there was also a recent interview at Rock, Paper, Shotgun with the developers:
RPS: What have you learned from the process? What advice would you give to other small teams of indie devs looking to be the next attention-grabbing game?
Kyle: Some of the best advice I got from Randy Pausch was, "Learn to shoot your baby in the crib." I think I ended up killing around 2 out of every 3 levels I made, keeping only the ones we thought people would really like.

Representative Honours: Australian Sevens (2010-2011), Australian Under 20s (2011)
Senior Tours: UK/Europe 2013
Powerful ACT Brumbies centre TEVITA KURIDRANI quickly established himself as one of the Qantas Wallabies rising stars during a maiden 2013 Test campaign where he wore the green and gold jersey on eight occasions.
Kuridrani emerged as one of the linchpins of the Brumbies' backline during the 2013 Super Rugby season before going on to earn his Test debut against the All Blacks in Australia's opening Bledisloe Cup encounter of the year.
The 23-year-old would receive his first starting opportunity against South Africa in Cape Town only weeks later, a position he would lock down for the next five Tests before suspension put a premature end to his season, missing the final two games of Australia's highly-successful Spring Tour.
Kuridrani scored twice in his debut Test season while he was also awarded his first Man of Gold honour in Australia's 44-33 loss in the third Bledisloe Cup Test in Dunedin.
The Fijian-born flyer has continued his damaging ways since returning from suspension in 2014 with his rapid development hugely evident in what is just his third season of Super Rugby since debuting in 2012.
In 2013, Kuridrani became the go-to outside centre for Brumbies. The Fijian-born back featured in 16 games of their Super Rugby campaign and scored the winning try in their upset win over the Pretoria Bulls at Loftus Versfeld in the semi-final.
He had a habit of scoring crucial tries in 2013, crossing over for the only five pointer in the Brumbies historic 14-12 win over the British & Irish Lions in June – becoming the first Australian club side to beat the tourists since Queensland in 1971.
Kuridrani ran the right line at the right time, as fullback Jesse Mogg counter attacked inside the Lions' half, shifting the ball wide to Andrew Smith who drew one defender before giving the ball to Kuridrani with plenty of work to do.
With two defenders to beat, Kuridrani fended off Lions' winger Christian Wade, using him as a human shield to block the incoming fullback Rob Kearney, to allow ease of passage to the try line.
A solid defender but also a damaging ball runner with an ability to shed tackles, Kuridrani is in much the same mould as former Brumbies and Wallabies outside centre Stirling Mortlock.
His form in the 2013 Super Rugby season saw him named in new Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie's first squad, with an extended 40-man group being assembled for the 2013 Castrol EDGE Rugby Championship.
Originally from Fiji, Kuridrani moved to Australia with his family in 2007 and has represented both Australia and Fiji in Rugby.
He represented Fiji Under 20s in 2001 but switched allegiances the following year to play for his adopted country at the 2011 Junior World Championship. He was called into the Australian Sevens program that same year, competing in Dubai, George, Hong Kong and Adelaide on the IRB Sevens World Series.
He joined the Reds Academy following the world series and in 2012 he attended a Brumbies Talent ID camp, where he was offered a two-year contract by coach Jake White.
Kuridrani grew up in the same village as NRL star Noa Nadruku and dual international Lote Tuqiri.

Estimated Real Property Tax and Other Non-tax Charges
• Explanation of Bill 24-07, Real Property - Disclosure - Property Tax, Enforcement
• Explanation of Bill 36-07 - Development Districts - Amendments
When a person buys a house to be used as the owner-occupied principal residence, the new owner pays the pro-rata share of the property tax bill in the fiscal year of purchase that the old owner owed. For example, if the property tax bill were $4,000 and the date of closing were 3 months before the fiscal year ended, the new owner would pay $1,000, which is 3/12th of the bill for that year. However, in many cases, the new owner will owe more, perhaps substantially more, property taxes in the next fiscal year (the first full fiscal year of new ownership), than the old owner would have paid. The reason is that the new owner is not eligible for the homestead property tax credit in the first full fiscal year of ownership.
The purpose of bill 24-07 is to provide the buyer of an owner-occupied principal residential property an estimate of the property tax bill (plus non-tax charges included on the bill) in the first full fiscal year of ownership. There is no way to calculate the exact amount of the property tax bill for the first full fiscal year of ownership, because there is no way to know what property tax rates the State, the County, or the municipality if any will set for that year.
The estimate for property tax and non-tax charges is based on:
next fiscal year's phase-in value if known, otherwise the current fiscal year's phase-in value
this fiscal year's property tax rates (State, County, and municipal)
no property tax credits (homestead, homeowners, income tax offset, senior)
non-tax charges in the next fiscal year the same as in the current fiscal year

The Adventure Begins... Tire Repair
I did a little dual sport riding the other day.
When I returned to the hotel I noticed this... a nail in my rear tire. You'll notice that the tire is still fully inflated. I didn't know if the nail had not penetrated all the way to the tube or if the Slime that I put inside my tube had protected and sealed the leak. It was late in the day, so I decided to wait until the next day to attempt the repair.
The next day the tire was still holding pressure. I've repaired a flat tire on my motorcycle before, so I felt comfortable repairing it. But I wanted to see if there was a llanta taller (tire shop) nearby that might be able to help. I asked the owner of the hotel and he indicated that there was not a taller in Alegria, but there were a few tallers in the town of Berlin about 5 km away. I headed down the road.
When I arrived in Berlin the first shop that I found was closed. I rode around a little bit looking for another. I saw a young guy on a little Suzuki 50cc motorbike. It was what one might call a pit bike in the states. I asked him where I might find a taller. He gave me directions... una cuadra alla y dos cuadra alla, alli por el banco. I told him that I was not familiar with the town. He said that he'd show me they way.
He push started his bike and we were off. We got a few looks as we roads through town because my bike dwarfed his... a rider in full moto gear on a Suzuki DR650 following a kid on a Suzuki 50cc wearing shorts. We arrived at the shop in just a few minutes.
Issrak was the jefe (boss) of the shop but he had a bunch of kids hanging around, learning the trade and working. Issrak was a big strong guy... the type of guy I like working on my bike.
First he removed the rim and tire from the bike. He propped up the bike on an old tree stump.
Then he removed the tire from the rim. Notice his little apprentice attentively watching.
Then he removed the tube from the rim and checked it for leaks in a tub of soapy water. Good news... no leak.
This was the culprit. Issrak removed the nail from the tire. Apparently the nail just went in sideways and penetrated a knobby.
He then reset the tube, tire, rim and sprocket. Then he put the tire back on the bike. The whole process from the time that I rode up to the shop to the time that I rode away probably only took 15 minutes. Great service. When I asked him how much he would charge me he said US$2. I was shocked. I just shook my head and gave him US$5.
In the states to repair a tire would probably have cost $50 and I would have had to leave it in the shop for half a day. This little trip to Issrak's shop saved me quite a bit of time and worry. It probably would have taken me a hour and few few bruised knuckles to change the tire myself. T
I'm simply amazed at the quality, speed of work and honesty of the mechanics and fabricators that I've come across in Latin America. Buena Gente (Good Folks).

Dateline Pyongyang
The AP's problematic North Korea bureau
Apr 22, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 30 • By ETHAN EPSTEIN
Pyongyang bureau chief Jean Lee ignored multiple requests for comment on this article, but she has revealed elsewhere a bit about how she works in North Korea. It turns out that when she's actually in North Korea, she's about as free to move around as you would expect, given that she's operating under the world's most repressive regime. In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, for example, Lee conceded, "There are very strict rules for foreign visitors in North Korea, which includes journalists. . . . You can't even leave your hotel to go for a walk. There is no interacting with locals unless you're in the presence of a North Korean." She also reportedly revealed at a panel at Seoul's Yonsei University that any time she wishes to leave the office to work on a story, she's accompanied by a North Korean minder. (She's likely accompanied by two, as are most foreigners in North Korea: one to mind the foreigner, one to mind the minder.) And she's admitted elsewhere that her electronic communications are probably monitored as well, though she laughs that off, saying, "I basically have to lead a life where even if they were to access any of my private information, it wouldn't be super shocking, which means I lead a very boring life." AP vice president John Daniszewski has also acknowledged the bureau's constraints, publicly allowing that "when we want to cover a story, we have to request interviews, request permissions to go to places either to government offices involved or KCNA, which arrange things."
Nonetheless, Lee defends her ability to conduct quality journalism while in North Korea. She has said repeatedly that the North Korean authorities do not censor her reports—she doesn't seem willing to admit that the limits placed on her movement and ability to talk to people are a form of censorship in themselves. In another display of either shocking disingenuousness or credulousness, she once explained that on one reporting trip, she was "accompanied by North Korean journalists, not government minders."
Leaving aside the fact that "North Korean journalist" is an oxymoron, it's important to note just how embroiled the AP is with the propaganda maestros at KCNA. The AP signed a memorandum of understanding with KCNA prior to opening its bureau—which has never been released to the public. (Odd that, given that the AP's official Standards & Practices sheet states, "Transparency is critical to our credibility with the public and our subscribers.") The AP actually shares its Pyongyang office with KCNA. What's worse, the relationship between the AP and KCNA extends beyond mere shared real estate.
In March and April 2012, for example, the two organizations cohosted a photo exhibition in New York, dubbed "Window on North Korea." The exhibit was held in commemoration of the 100th birthday of the late Kim Il-sung (Kim Jong-il's father, Kim Jong-un's grandfather, and the founder of the North Korean state, who ruled the country with untrammelled brutality for 46 years). Allegedly showing "what life is like in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (it's good policy always to be suspicious of anyone who refers to North Korea by its official name), the exhibition featured 79 photos. According to the blogger Joshua Stanton, writing in the Wall Street Journal Asia, "all of the photographs portrayed the North Korean people as happy, well-fed and devoted subjects." KCNA's senior vice president even traveled to New York for the opening, saying, "It is our hope that this exhibition would give exhibition-goers visual understanding of the people, customs, culture and history of the DPRK, thereby helping to deepen mutual understanding and improve the bilateral relations." As Stanton asked at the time, "Why would any international news service that values its reputation partner with the world's least credible news agency to shill for the world's most repressive regime?" (Funnily enough, the AP's relationship with KCNA had gotten it into trouble even before it had established the Pyongyang bureau: In the summer of 2011, the AP distributed a KCNA-provided photograph, which it quickly retracted once it realized KCNA had doctored the image.)
But the AP-KCNA photo exhibit—egregious as it was—had only limited impact. How many people actually dragged themselves to such a ludicrous exhibition? Given its influence and extraordinary reach, what really matters is the news that's coming out of the Pyongyang bureau.

Delegates and activists protest climate talks in Copenhagen
Kelly Benjamin and Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Amidst snow flurries in Copenhagen, massive peaceful demonstrations took place today outside the Bella Center where UN Climate talks are being held.
Protesters from around the world descended on the conference in attempts to expose what they feel is an undemocratic and inadequate response to the urgency of the climate change crisis. The goal of the action was to take over the conference, and transform it into a Peoples Assembly on Climate Change just as some UN delegates and NGOs staged a sit in and walk out from the summit.
However, Danish police quickly surrounded the demonstrators and began attacking the crowd with pepper spray and batons.
Over 150 delegates inside the Bella Center staged a walk out of the climate talks today but were prevented by police from joining the people's assembly outside.
Maria Theresa Lauron is from the Philippines.
WMNF also spoke with several of the climate protesters about their experiences with police today.comments powered by Disqus

School officials took no chances in light of Moncton shootings
© Derek Montague/The Labradorian
Only two vehicles were parked outside Sheshatshiu Innu School during the afternoon of June 9. The school's administrators decided to close down for half a day, after a perceived threat was posted on Facebook.
A public posting on the Sheshatshiu flea market Facebook page caused the Sheshatshiu Innu School to close for the afternoon of June 9.
Earlier that morning a man posted a message stating: "U guys are coming (to) hell with me ,, everyone of youse."
The male's Facebook profile picture showed a man holding a rifle, wearing sunglasses and a stocking cap.
As soon as word got out about the post, Sheshatshiu Innu School administrators decided to take special precautions, just in case it was a threat towards the community.
"The first thing we did, when we heard about all this, was we called the RCMP, we called our board office and we decided to lock all doors," said Sheshatshiu Innu School principal, Clarence Davis." We held a short staff meeting to explain to all staff members the nature of the threat."
"If there was a threat of this kind and, if all the people of Sheshatshiu were going to be targeted, we thought a public building would be a logical place to start. And we are probably the most public building in the community."
Davis said he and other school officials heard about the Facebook post early in the school day, but decided it would be unwise to send the children home immediately.
"If there was a threat, we felt that the safest place for them was in a locked school. So we decided to keep them there until the morning was out," said Davis.
"We have a lockdown procedure in the school, and we just had all of our staff members adhere to that protocol: close your blinds, stay away from windows. We have a code that we use on our PA system if there is breach in security."
Later that morning, the RCMP determined that there was no threat towards the school or the community. According to RCMP spokesperson, Cpl. Rick Mills, the individual who made the Facebook post lives in Natuashish.
Still, given the circumstances, Davis and others felt it would be best to close Sheshatshiu Innu School for the afternoon.
"Before lunch hour, we had already been informed by the RCMP that they found the suspect, so the threat was over," said Davis.
"But we just felt that … in today's world rumors fly and (through) social media it seemed like everyone was aware of what was going on. We decided, just to keep things calm, we'd sent everybody home for the afternoon."
Davis admits the recent tragedy in Moncton, where three RCMP officers were shot and killed and two more wounded, played a big role in the school's precautions.
"Everybody's worried about the copycat syndrome," said Davis. "Maybe without Moncton, this would have been nothing, we don't know. But we weren't about to take chances with it."
Despite all the concern that was caused by the Facebook post, Cpl. Rick Mills said the RCMP does not consider it a direct threat towards anyone in Sheshatshiu and no arrest will be made.
"What I will say is, there was no specific or direct threat towards the school or anybody in Sheshatshiu," said Mills.
"The message was very generic and the picture was an individual standing with a gun."
Classes resumed as normal at the Sheshatshiu Innu School on the morning of June 10.

Stingless Wasp Attack On Emerald Ash Borer Working In Minn.
To stop the emerald ash borer from killing trees in Minnesota, the state brought in a natural predator two years ago...and the tactic seems to be working.
Experts with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture have found proof that stingless wasps are breeding, and spreading through the area. The wasps attack the eggs and larva of the ash borer. They were released in Houston and Winona Counties in 2011, and this fall, the M-D-A found wasp larvae on trees that had been sampled for the ash borer. That wasp is the ash borer's only known natural enemy.

Waterfowl research being conducted by Mississippi State University professors and graduate students could have important impacts on habitat conservation and duck hunting in the Delta region of Mississippi. Specifically one recent piece of work being conducted and continues deals with a study of mallard duck survival in relation to habitat use. Ultimately a better understanding of these factors could improve waterfowl management and enhance the economic impact of duck hunting in the state.
Gist of the research
Waterfowl research work underway by professor Brian Davis and graduate student Joseph Lancaster of the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture is examining how mallard ducks utilize the South Delta landscape and how that landscape ultimately affects the survival of the ducks.
"Ultimately, we want to know how mallard survival is influenced by its use of several habitats of the Delta," stated Dr. Davis. "Survival of birds in relation to hunting seasons is also important." Davis' work reports that the ducks' movements, habitat use and survival reflect landscape quality.
As is the normal case of graduate study, a lead professor directs a graduate masters or doctoral student through a research project. In this case most of the actual work on the ground in the Delta is being done by Joe Lancaster. Joseph is working on his masters of science degree in wildlife.
His thesis study titled "Home Range, Habitat Selection, and Survival of Radiomarked Mallards on Hunted and Refuge Wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley" is a long research proposal title to simply say he is studying how mallard ducks move about the Delta, selecting and using different habitat types. The hopeful outcome is to determine what types of waterfowl habitats best contribute to duck survival rates.
Davis and his team captured and affixed a sampling of 126 female mallards with backpack-style very high frequency radio transmitters. This was done to track the birds' locations each day and also to take note of duck mortalities.
"In order to track the ducks we drove around in trucks and chartered a fixed-wing airplane, each fitted with special antennae," Lancaster noted. "The problem is that you have to be very close to where the ducks are to pick up the signals. That is two miles distance or less." This is what is called grassroots wildlife research.
Outcomes and impacts
This research continues to be on-going and collected data is still being analyzed. Lancaster has already committed to stay on through a Ph.D. program to move the research forward to examine other issues. With the foundation he has already established, further results are likely to be even more revealing.
Thus far his research has indicated an overall mallard winter survival rate of 76 percent. The highest survival rates came on habitats that consist of seasonally-flooded wetlands, or commonly called moist soil wetlands. Examples of these habitats are shallow flooded wetlands that when drained in the spring and summer will grow up with annual grasses and weeds such as millets and panic grasses. Thus, providing feed for migrating and wintering waterfowl in winter. Other habitats where mallards survived well were agricultural farmlands, forest habitats, and flooded bottomland hardwood forests. Mallards survived least in permanent water habitats.
Curiously enough, hunting impacted mallard survival but not as much as they anticipated. According to Lancaster, "We saw a higher percentage of non-hunting mortalities than hunting mortalities." It may seem elementary, but this factor seems to indicate that ducks are far more vulnerable to dying from more natural causes than by being shot by duck hunters. Of course, we need high duck survival rates to encourage more hunters to duck hunt thereby spending increased tourism dollars.
"The data being produced might indicate where conservation programs should be focused," says Davis. "For private landowners we can help them with specific habitat management tools that could enhance mallard duck attraction to their lands."
Research summary
At the heart of this research is an attempt to determine which habitat types seem to lend themselves to greater survival of female mallards during winter. Ideal habitats increase mallard survivability. It is recognized though that the habitat landscapes change over time, thus another reason why MSU wildlife researchers are conducting this study.
As farming changes, cropland use varies thereby potentially altering the profile of the available waterfowl habitats. This can impact duck survival rates. Davis indicated, "Survival rates may be different in subsequent eras, as farming and conservation practices change. When government programs such as reforestation incentives for landowners come and go or when soybeans come and go, it modifies the landscape." This could result in fluctuations in survival rates which can impact economic issues related to attracting and retaining interested returning duck hunters each season.
How extensive is the duck flight in the Mississippi Delta? From mid-October through the opening of turkey hunting in March, mallards and other waterfowl species call our Delta their seasonal home grounds. The Mississippi Alluvial Valley extends south along the Mississippi River from the Southeastern "Bootheel" section of Missouri down through the eastern parts of Louisiana and each year supports roughly 40 percent of the entire Mississippi flyway mallard population.
This reinforces Mississippi as being a critical region for provision of waterfowl habitats and in perpetuating our duck hunting traditions. Waterfowl hunter participation results in over $140 million in revenue to local communities and businesses each year in Mississippi.
Moreover, private landowners are critical to waterfowl and other wildlife resources because they control so much of the landscape needed by waterfowl. Thus, scientists conducting this research at MSU are very grateful to Delta landowners and hunters that cooperated with this study by providing access to their lands and offering moral support.
Thanks to the wildlife researchers and grad students at MSU for delivering practical research that can result in economic development, tourism, and dollars being spent in the state for recreational hunting pursuits.

Colt Knost Laughs At All Of You
If you're not familiar with the above name, remember it, because he's going to be on the PGA Tour next year as a 23-year-old hungry to dominate.
Knost was the kid that told the Augusta suits "Thanks but no thanks" this year with his Masters exemption because he wanted to turn pro. Knost had the exemption for winning the U.S. Pub-Links and U.S. Amateur in the same, and people thought he was crazier than an ex-girlfriend after four drinks.
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, Colt won his second Nationwide Tour tournament this past weekend to secure his PGA Tour card for next season and had this to say about it all.
"It seems like I've always been doubted,'' he said. "I'm not the most athletic-looking person. But people should never judge a book by its cover. I know how good I can be.''
Well, I'd agree with all statements. He doesn't fit the mold of today's athletic looking golfer, but man can the dude play. He shot 26-under-par last week, which I guess is fairly decent.
Anyway, all the critics that thought he was a moron don't look so stellar now. The kid will be playing the big boys tour next season and it he keeps this up, we might just see him turning around Amen Corner before you know it.
