Baby sleeps on stomach
Brendan sleeps well overnight. We're grateful for this. Anywhere from 6 to 10 hours generally. In turn it is harder to get him to take naps during the day when he inevitably gets tired. But he really enjoys sleeping on my chest. Must be from his mommy, who is always sleeping on her stomach.
Bren is closing in on 3 months.

Adjustable VTC-50 antisquat brackets receive the leading end of the upper control arm. They change the geometry in the rear, increasing or decreasing the amount of downforce at the back tires. As part of the package, Global West built specific linear rate coil springs that lower the car 1 inch. Since the engine is all-aluminum, we opted for small-block S-68 at front and S-88 at the rear. Finally, the PHC-50K adjustable Panhard rod that centers and confirms lateral location of the axlehousing, has multihole brackets, and quells rearend instability around turns and over bumps. The relocation rod also imparts a high degree of torsional stability to the framerails.
We had neither space nor the proper telemetry equipment to produce any kind of empirical data, so this is a seat-of-your-jeans take, a report based on driving thousands of new and modified cars. Did it on the street. Did it on an unoccupied thoroughfare with a series of switchbacks, damn difficult to find in Florida. The ride is firm (QA1's set at three front and rear) but fluid. I can actually feel the front tires through the steering, a facet that was vague at best prior to the changes.
Surprise. The Biscayne's weight distribution is 49/51, undoubtedly a product of its enormous rear overhang, big glass, rear-mount battery, and all-aluminum engine up front that weighs less than an iron small-block. People kill for numbers like this and the car's handling demeanor is quite neutral. No amount of tomfoolery would call the back end around; although, anything better than a 6/10s effort would probably pendulum the rear of the car easily. Although Global has a rear-mount antisway bar (not attached to the lower control arm) for this conversion, it was deemed unnecessary.
We made some very stupid maneuvers in an effort to upset the cart but got squat in return. Judging by the feel of the car, the bar would be superfluous. The biggest sensation is felt at the rearend. The adjustable Panhard brace and bar really tie the car together. Bumpsteer has been distilled down to nothing. The Biscayne now feels like a modern car, quite the equal of high-zoot, American, Euro, or Asian counterpart. As a matter of fact, BMW dudes despise our big, white junk. It floors them. It brow-beats them. It makes people stay up at night.

NZ Fringe Festival 2013
at Frank Kitts Park, Wellington
23 Feb 2013
Reviewed by Nancy Catherine Fulford, 25 Feb 2013
After some consideration I've decided to come clean and admit I had no idea that Parkour was a worldwide movement previous to this event. I have no excuse. I haven't been in a coma since the nineties and I'm very interested in all things physical so I'm not sure what happened there. I started explaining the event to my family and my son said, "Mom we know what it is, we're not old," so sadly it may just be that.
Parkour certainly sounded attractive in the Festival booklet: "Free running, theatre and visual arts ... an extraordinary contemporary art event where the players challenge the urban landscape and create a new pathway through the city."
It sounded somewhat like site-specific dance – I know what that is – and I thought we were in for an exciting crossover with other arts forms from the description. I was pumped and took along my granddaughter who has started preschool circus classes.
Here's what we did get: a group of very fit young men in purple Fringe t-shirts performing acrobatic sequences on a scaffold that had been erected for the purpose in the Frank Kitts amphitheatre. A good crowd of onlookers, many of them families, watched with some interest at all the fascinating ways the participants manoeuvred themselves in an around the multileveled bars. The various feats of balance, agility and strength would happen in 15 second bursts, usually just one person at a time though sometimes there was overlap.
The man sitting beside me commented, "It's sort of like skateboarding with no board." I could see that. "Or break dancing in the air," I offered. Although there was no music.
Just in case you are also part of the minuscule minority who are not well acquainted with Parkour, here's how Wiki summarizes it.
"Parkour (abbreviated PK), also called the 'art of displacement', is a training discipline that developed out of military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to move from one place to another, negotiating the obstacles in between. The discipline uses no equipment and is non-competitive. A male practitioner is generally called a 'traceur', a female a 'traceuse'."
More recently the form has evolved to be seen as training for overcoming obstacles in general and greater emphasis is being placed on the altruistic side of the practice.
The show lasted about 35 minutes. Afterwards people were invited to come down and have a play. Largely young boys took up this offer. I took my granddaughter down and although she loves playing on bars she wouldn't go near them. No surprise. There were no visual cues for a girl to participate.
After the show I spoke to several of the participants and learned about the scope of Parkour in New Zealand. There are about 200 people involved across the country and 60 here in Wellington. They meet Sunday afternoons and offer coaching and support to people who are interested.
'Are there female participants?' I asked.
"For sure. About ten come regularly and I'm hoping they will be turning up for the session we have planned up at Massey this Sunday. Women are very good at it because they think too. They are not so tripped up by ego." He seemed a very insightful young man. He also told me about Frenchman David Bell, considered by many the key founder of the movement, though he himself thought Jackie Chang had a major influence.
"So what's the idea really?" I asked. "How does it play out beyond acrobatics?"
"It prepares me for life. To protect myself and others is one purpose. It had roots in martial arts." I asked him for a specific example. "There was this time I was coming home late and this guy was following me. I changed route a bunch of times so I knew he was. I waited till I came across a series of fences and vaulted straight over the lot of them. He couldn't and so I lost him."
"I get that. Hey, I think I've had a Parkour moment!" And then I made him listen to the story of being in the Central Library, chatting to a friend at the bottom of the steps beside the escalators, when we heard a wail and looked up to see a toddler spill out the front of his pushchair and land facing us. His mom couldn't get past the chair and he was riding up and up and up towards the top where his little bottom had every chance of being eaten by escalator teeth. I dropped my armful of books, reached for the hand rail and pulled and leapt and flew to the top of the stairs where I vaulted across to pick him up just before the escalators top jaw and bottom jaw came together to make baby-mince. I didn't actually vault, but the rest is true. I'm considering going along Sunday afternoons 2:30 at Frank Kitts Park just in case next time, it is necessary.
While the Parkour show didn't offer what it promised, it did educate more than just me, I am sure of it, and what a fantastic thing that is. Another Wiki quote reads:
"A newer convention of Parkour philosophy has been the idea of reclaiming what it means to be a human being. It teaches us to move using the natural methods that we should have learned from infancy. It teaches us to touch the world and interact with it, instead of being sheltered by it."
The Wellington traceurs I met are energetically working to involve people in a positive physical activity that interacts creatively with our urban environment. Young people in particular need cool, fun stuff to do, and this sure has it over drag racing and tagging. This organisation and movement in general deserves the public's support. I'm very grateful they got the time to create a show.

Drexler participated in NASA summer studies on space colonies in 1975 and 1976. He fabricated metal films a few tens of nanometers thick on a wax support to demonstrate the potentials of high performance solar sails. He was active in space politics, helping the L5 Society defeat the Moon Treaty in 1980.
During the late 1970s, he began to develop ideas about molecular nanotechnology (MNT). In 1979, Drexler encountered Richard Feynman's provocative 1959 talk There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. The term nanotechnology was coined by the Tokyo Science University Professor Norio Taniguchi in 1974 to describe the precision manufacture of materials with nanometer tolerances, and was unknowingly appropriated by Drexler in his 1986 book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology to describe what later became known as molecular nanotechnology (MNT). In that book, he proposed the idea of a nanoscale "assembler" which would be able to build a copy of itself and of other items of arbitrary complexity. He also first published the term "grey goo" to describe what might happen if a hypothetical self-replicating molecular nanotechnology went out of control.
Drexler holds three degrees from MIT He received his S.B. in Interdisciplinary Sciences in 1977 and his S.M. in 1979 in Astro/Aerospace Engineering with a Master's thesis titled "Design of a High Performance Solar Sail System,." In 1991 he earned a Ph.D. under the auspices of the MIT Media Lab (formally, the Media Arts and Sciences Section, School of Architecture and Planning). His Ph.D. work was the first doctoral degree on the topic of molecular nanotechnology and (after some editing) his thesis, "Molecular Machinery and Manufacturing with Applications to Computation," was published as "Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing and Computation" (1992), which received the Association of American Publishers award for Best Computer Science Book of 1992.
Drexler and Christine Peterson, at that time husband and wife, founded the Foresight Institute in 1986 with the mission of "Preparing for nanotechnology." Drexler and Peterson ended their 21-year marriage in 2002. Drexler is no longer a member of the Foresight Institute.
In August 2005 Drexler joined Nanorex, a molecular engineering software company based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to serve as the company's Chief Technical Advisor. Nanorex's nanoENGINEER-1 software was reportedly able to simulate a hypothetical differential gear design in "a snap". According to Nanorex's web site, an open source molecular design program is currently slated for release in Fall 2007.
In 2006, Drexler married Rosa Wang, a former investment banker who works with Ashoka: Innovators for the Public on improving the social capital markets.
One of the barriers to achieving molecular nanotechnology is the lack of an efficient way to create machines on a molecular/atomic scale. One of Drexler's early ideas was an "assembler," a nanomachine that would comprise an arm and a computer that could be programmed to build more nanomachines. If an assembler could be built, it might then build a copy of itself, and thus potentially be useful for efficient mass production of nanomachines. But the lack of a way to first build an assembler remains the sine qua non obstacle to achieving this vision.
A second difficulty in reaching molecular nanotechnology is design. Hand design of a gear or bearing at the level of atoms is a gruelling task. While Drexler, Merkle and others have created a few designs of simple parts, no comprehensive design effort for anything approaching the complexity of a Model T Ford has been attempted.
A third difficulty in achieving molecular technology is separating successful trials from failures, and elucidating the failure mechanisms of the failures. Unlike Darwinian evolution, which proceeds by random variations in ensembles of organisms combined with deterministic reproduction/extinction as a selection process to achieve great complexity after billions of years (a set of mechanisms that Richard Dawkins has referred to as a "blind watchmaker"), deliberate design and building of nanoscale mechanisms requires a means other than reproduction/extinction to winnow successes from failures. Such means are difficult to provide (and presently non-existent) for anything other than small assemblages of atoms viewable by an AFM or STM.
Thus, even in the latest report A Matter of Size: Triennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative put out by the National Academies Press in December 2006, (roughly twenty years after Engines of Creation was published) no clear way forward toward molecular nanotechnology is seen, as per the conclusion on page 108 of that report: "Although theoretical calculations can be made today, the eventually attainable range of chemical reaction cycles, error rates, speed of operation, and thermodynamic efficiencies of such bottom-up manufacturing systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time. Thus, the eventually attainable perfection and complexity of manufactured products, while they can be calculated in theory, cannot be predicted with confidence. Finally, the optimum research paths that might lead to systems which greatly exceed the thermodynamic efficiencies and other capabilities of biological systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time. Research funding that is based on the ability of investigators to produce experimental demonstrations that link to abstract models and guide long-term vision is most appropriate to achieve this goal."
In the science fiction novel Newton's Wake by Ken Macleod a 'drexler' is a nanotech assembler of pretty much anything that can fit in the volume of the particular machine - socks to starships.
Drexler is also mentioned in the science fiction book Decipher by Stel Pavlou, his book is mentioned as one of the starting points of the nanomachine construction, as well as giving a better understanding of the way carbon 60 was to be applied.
James Rollins references Drexler's Engines of Creation in his novel Excavation, using his theory of a molecular machine in two sections as a possible explanation for the mysterious "Substance Z" in the story.

About Taurus International Manufacturing Inc
Forjas Taurus is a manufacturing conglomerate based in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Beginning as a tool and die manufacturer, the company now consists of divisions focusing on firearms, metals manufacturing, plastics, body armor, helmets, and civil construction. Current product line includes steel-frame pistols, polymer-frame pistols (including the popular Millennium line), revolvers, and law enforcement weapons (submachine guns and rifles).
Why Taurus 24/7
Introduced to the firearms market in 2004, the Taurus PT 24/7 is a semi-automatic pistol using the short type of recoil operation, and available in various models with double action only (DAO) and double action/single action type trigger actions. Using a hammer less, striker-fired design these pistols are manufactured by Forjas Taurus S/A (Taurus Forge) in Porto Alegre Brazil and distributed in the United States by their subsidiary Taurus USA. The 24/7 product line was designed for the civilian concealed carry firearms market, and as backup weapons for law enforcement officers worldwide.
Taurus Millennium Design Feautres
Taurus Millennium series pistols are manufactured with injection molded polymer frames, and blued carbon steel, stainless steel, or titanium slides. Available cartridge chamberings include .32 ACP, .380 ACP, 9mm Parabellum, .40 Smith & Wesson, and .45 ACP. Magazine capacities vary between 6, 10, and 12 rounds depending on model and caliber. The Millennium line includes several innovative safety features including a positive firing pin block as well as the "Taurus Safety Latch", a transfer bar safety which prevents firing of the pistol unless the trigger is pulled. Together these safeties assure that the pistol will not fire if it is accidentally dropped; selected models have been certified as satisfying the California Drop safety requirement. All Millennium models also include a frame-mounted safety lever
Taurus PT 1911
Featuring a forged steel frame and slide, the PT1911 was originally marketed with a blued carbon steel finish, but as of late 2007 a stainless steel version was released. The standard PT1911 is hand-fit in the Taurus factory and includes popular combat and competition custom features such as a "Beavertail" grip safety with memory groove, extended ambidextrous thumb safety and slide stop controls, lowered and flared ejection port, frame checkering, and other niceties unusual for a pistol of its price range. The Taurus PT1911 is a clone of the US Military model 1911 single-action recoil operated semi-automatic pistol. It was designed and manufactured by Taurus in Porto Alegre Brazil, and distributed in the US by Taurus USA. Announced at the 2005 Shot Show, it was released to the consumer market in the fall of 2005.

Hi Obi. I have vm 36 s on my 76 900 which is stock except for the carbs. The main jet works out to 210,[I wouldn't go higher than 220] 2.5 slide, Q-0 needle jet stock needle in the middle position and 22.5 idle jets with the mixture screws at about 1.25 out. This motor is very similar to yours and starts and idles as well as the Bings with gas mileage being about 2-3 % less. My Rs 77 which is done to the hilt with Tm38s much head work and Staintune 40mm mufflers uses 220 mains 6fj40 needles and 17.5 idle jets. It seems that unless you have a full race motor with lots of cam and a racing exhaust, you don't want to go too rich. I took the 36s off my racer and for the street, dropped several sizes on mains needle jets and idle jets to the specs above. It sounds like you are fairly close with what you have, so if the problem can't be solved with jetting, check to make sure that your air tube to carb adaptors aren't causing a shrouding problem somewhere. You can check this by going for a short ride without the tubes or air filter hooked up and see if that improves things. Also bear in mind that slide carbs won't respond to large throttle openings at low revs as well as the bings. When I nail it, I like at least 4-4500 on the clock.
Hope this helps

Thanks to an injury, Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) is watching the NBA playoffs from well off the sidelines. So he did what any athlete with a smartphone would do: He angrily live-tweeted the L.A. Lakers' loss to San Antonio in Game 1 on Sunday.
Among his gems: "What I would say if I was there right now? 'Pau get ur ass on the block and don't move till u get it' #realtalk"
On Monday, Bryant tweeted he'd cease that practice from here on out. But RedEye gladly picks up where the Black Mamba left off. Presenting: What would Kobe Bryant tweet, Bulls-Nets edition.
12:00: Got my Joakim Noah jersey on. starting even tho he's hurt. watch and learn, pau gasol!
11:03: Hold up, fans actually show up ON TIME in Brooklyn? Must be crappy weather in NY. That's why I luv LA.
9:03: Wooh! Noah's jumper is just as smooth as mine. #notreally
8:58: Booooooriiiiiing. Come on refs it cant be that complicated a foul call.
8:34: Two points for Brook Lopez … on that takedown. He's moppin the flo w/ Kirk Hinrich. #earthweek
7:00: Damn Boozer's jumper goes higher than fans at a Snoop Dogg concert lol. Fadeaway's not half bad tho. Mine's still better.
2:00: BOOMSHAKALAKA. b11 making the bulls PAY with that dunk.
0:00: 37 combined points in the first quarter? That's barely a quarter for me. #notkidding #alsonothumble
Score: Bulls 20, Nets 17
10:32: Mr. Ex Kardashian is in the game! Congrats on the settlement. #goodriddance
9:56: Luol Deng's wrist is hurt but he still finishes strong on the break like my boy steve nash. Man I wish I were playing.
8:51: That old guy heckling the Bulls' free throws actually works! Too bad Boozer tipped in the second miss.
5:14: Bulls need a TO. Buncha guys in foul trouble but they still lead. Go figure.

The Task Force's recommendations had ranged from its future status to legislative and judicial matters, and had included police' procedures, recre-. ational .opportunities and school activities. The original Task Force recommended, as point one, that it remain active or that some other group be developed to .continue it! worl; as a charge to •punue the other recommendations of the ,'Freeport Says No To Drugs' coiamiftee." Mayor Storm ia her report notes that she. has already formed a new 17 member Mayor's Advbory Task Force on Drugs, •from the nucleus of the former group.,This Task • Force," . she saip ; 'is charged with pursuing the 57' recommendations" of the original report. Mrs. Storm noted several other areas in which' she had already responded by action to the recommendations. For example, the originally cancelled "Freeport Says No To Drags* parade has been rescheduled, and the itew Task Force has a youth member, a representative from Freeport . High School's student body. One of the Task Force's recommendations ' in: January was an encouragement of "family activities." For example, the ' Recreation Center could encourage such activities as parent/child volleyball leagues and village-wide efforts could encourage neighborhood meetings and block parties. Mayor Storm, in response, notes that "the family discount rate for use of- the Recreation Center encourages use of the facility bv the entire family" and in many of the sports programs vol-: unteei; coaches are parents of teatij members. "Where possible," she says, "attempts shall be made to schedule additional family participation events." While the.Board granted permission for .17 block parties last summer, Mrs. Storm says a past attempt by Village Human Relations 'Director Michael ICirwan to encourage the formation of block associations "was less than successful." • . While the Task Force's report suggests that the Freeport Recreation Center work to increaise parent involvement or greater adult infiuence to avoid the isolation of what the report terms - the "adolescent subculture," M?yor Storm reports, in response, that the Village Board is currently con- • iidering a proposal for a non-profit, organization to establish a multi-service community center on';a :. portion of Martin- Luther King Park. According to informed sources, this non-profit group would be set up from Bethel A.M.E. Church in Freeport, but would be ah > entirely separate organiia- , tiott from the church. A facility would be built which would be used to expand existing programs and add new ones primarily for youths between 10 and 19.

I just found out....
Well, I don't know how to say it?
Will you think less of me?
I thought I was a Macho man,
A rollicking Romeo, A stud,
A Don Juan, A Casanova,
A prowling philanderer, A flirt,
A playboy, A skirt chaser,
But by golly, I am none of the above,
I just found out.....
I am .... Well, I am,
I am GAY!
Aha! Gotcha!! Not so fast!!!
I mean HAPPY!

New Here
I am new here and would like to introduce myself, I am Tony from Paso Robles, CA. I am doing research on my first oven. I just bought my first house and have a great backyard. I have a natural slope in the back yard so I will be building my oven on that. I will level the dirt to pour my slab. Just wanted to say hi and see if anyone has any thought on using the natural grade instead of the base with wood storage.
Thanks all
Re: New Here
Hi Tony - Welcome!
Not sure of your question - can you elaborate a bit on the wood storage issue?
Re: New Here
Hi Les what I am getting at is I dont need to build the BASE for the oven. From what I have seen everyone uses the base as their wood storage. I have a perfect sloping area in the backyard I can cut into vertically and place my oven right at level on the graded ground. So my oven will be on the grade and I will be able to stand in the cut out dirt area.
Did that make any sence
Re: New Here
I think as long as you pour footings and then your hearth slab, it would be just fine.
Have fun with the new obsession.
I am sure that you will soon know what I mean. ;)
And don't forget to post lots of pictures of your build.
Re: New Here
Good luck and keep the questions coming - this is a great forum.
Re: New Here
Welcome to the group. I'm just across the ridge from you in Bakersfield.
I think this would look pretty awesome however without some type of footing its life may be reduced. Keep in mind you are going to be disturbing the natural soil, adding some tonnage to it and with any hill you are going to have the water run off slowly but surely taking dirt with it. I suppose you could add a layer of geo-textile fabric and landscape the sides for the runoff issue but you would still have the dirt underneath wanting to move forward on you sooner or later.
There is certainly no reason why you could not do a pier and grade beam footing that you would never see. Drilling 4 or 6 holes, 1 on each corner and 1 in the middle of each side. Then pour a footing to connect these and this is what the hearth slab would sit on. You would never see it.. then again having the wood right there is very convenient:) this sound like a really neat idea tell us more..
Re: New Here
Uno, if there is no freeze issue, then he could likely get away with concrete filled tubes about 6" diameter x 5 (four corner and one middle). As for area behind oven, against wall....cut into hill with proper gap for oven? This is what I picture for Two Dogs Tony. Tony, it is great to get onto your thread. Now we look forward to a photo of the area you are looking to build at.
Re: New Here
Les, Uno, Acoma
WOW thanks for all the great replies. Nice to meet you all. I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them. The corner in my back yard I think is perfect. I should be able to build a really nice sized oven. I like the idea of the tube footing. We used to call the cardboard tube forms SonaTubes. I will definatly do the 5 tube piers. I assume this slab is just regular concrete right. Anyway I have so many ideas and questions.
Uno, I work for a company in the oil patch out there in BAko. I get there pretty often.
Thanks again everyone I cant wait to get building.
Re: New Here
Don't forget to insulate your hearth!
Re: New Here
James, Thanks for the reply. I am planning on using that KAOwool hard board stuff. I work in an oil field so insulating materials are pretty easy to come by.
Any suggestions are welcome though. I am very open minded and really in the early phases of planning
Thanks again

Etienne Balibar: At The Borders Of Europe
I am speaking of the "Borders of Europe" in Greece, one of the "peripheral" countries of Europe in its traditional configuration–a configuration that reflects powerful myths and a long-lived series of historical events. Thessaloníki is itself at the edge of this border country, one of those places where the dialectic between confrontation with the foreigner (transformed into a hereditary enemy) and communication between civilizations (without which humanity cannot progress) is periodically played out. I thus find myself, it seems, right in the middle of my object of study, with all the resultant difficulties. The rest

GNOME 3.0: Fear Not!
Does GNOME 3.0 necessarily need 3D acceleration? Do GNOME 2.0 apps run under 3.0? A website tries to provide answers to some unsettling questions.
With the change-over from GNOME 2.x to 3.0 in September 2010, many users are expecting problems similar to those of the KDE 3.x update to 4.0. GNOME developer Paul Cutler was thus compelled to issue a blog to address the issues.
The associated GNOME3Myths wiki page is now online. It tries to dispel the 3.0 myths by addressing six specific points:
- Does GNOME 3.0 need more graphics power and active 3D acceleration?
- Does it continue to support the current panel and the popular window manager?
- Will GNOME 2.0 programs continue to work on 3.0?
- Will the Nautilus file manager be completely replaced with the Activity Journal?
- Will 3.0 depend on Mono?
- Will all apps need to be ported to 3.0?
The wiki is being actively maintained. The entries related to the release in September are likely to grow fairly quickly, considering that the current responses in Cutler's blog still reveal a lot of uncertainties.

I made a list of all the plagues, what Moses said to Pharaoh, what Pharaoh's response was, how long the plague lasted and who was affected, and what Pharaoh's last response was to Moses after he grew tired of the plague. I also jotted down a few notes of things people would have experienced during each plague - like with the Nile turning to blood, I made notes about the color of the water, the stink from the fish dying, how people would feel about their water source disappearing, their response to finding clear water by digging in the banks, etc. The detailed information was only filled out for the first four plagues but I had basic information for all the plagues.

As far as the characters were concerned... I had very little. I'm not writing much that involves Pharaoh and Moses because I don't want to conflict or add to the Biblical story. So most of my story thus far is people's reactions to the plagues and how they are living through them, plus the elders of Israel telling their families what Moses did in Pharaoh's court.

If you have detailed outlines for your workbook or the worship curriculum, the actual writing probably won't take that long. I'm writing a first draft and I'm allowing it to be rough because I can always come back and edit. The hardest part is to get started. If you set aside just a little bit of time each day and write as fast as you can, just to get that first draft out, you'd be surprised how quickly you can get it done. Then later you can take more time to edit it. Go for it!Cassandrahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452170266037097261.post-1958025850400759212009-11-12T17:29:02.392-08:002009-11-12T17:29:02.392-08:00How long was this book in your head before you sta...How long was this book in your head before you started writing?

I just researched your comment neufuse, and I believe you pre-planned this comment, i will search for evidence of your plot and expose you!
It's fine to question "something" it's the people that question "everything" who are really crazy.
I agree. I don't think the moon is made of cheese and I don't believe our leaders are reptiles. But some things don't make sense and should be questioned.

"Mojave Madness 1.0" or "I finally had a day off"
So, the most recent project i feverishly worked on for the past month and a half did not pay off. Some more senior "partner" pulled a rug from under myself and the boss at the last minute, so i said, the hell with it, lets ride!
What do you do with a day and a half of guaranteed off-time? You could mow the lawn, go on a Starbucks ride, or trot to the desert! In the way, this was the first shakedown ride of a few bits I added to the bike, few learning experiences and a few gotchas..
The idea was to go see The Husky Memorial, and the Giant Rock. Also to see how well my GPS route planning worked out. BTW, SASplanet, the bit of Russian software recommended by Walter Colebatch is amazing! All of the planning was done with it.
Saturday night was spent getting the new soft luggage fitted, fiddling with gps, making a few exhaust heat-shields so the fancy bags don't get roasted etc. Sunday morning was the go-time, even though the weather really wanted to test my resolve.
About right here I wish i took my winter gloves along... lesson number one!
But the wet cold fog, was switched off as soon as I descended into the Mojave area. Hello Mojave! Meet the White Crow!
Just up the road, I saw a bunch of windmills with invitingly accessible dirt tracks going toward them! Time to recon!
These things do make a little bit of noise as they turn! I've heard of that but never heard "it". Until now. I always wanted to sit at one's base and look up at the moving blades even if for a moment. But, all of them were fenced off, with bunch of angry notes on the fence. Next time.. maybe next time
Next up was the Mojave Air and Space Port!
Here is a little info for all you aviation buffs out here! This is a Convair 990, which is a little faster than B707 or DC8. But a little more interesting fact to me was that the engines were in fact "Turbo-Fans" and the fan was not at the front alike all modern airliner engines but in the back! I never seen one like that up front... (in the pic, core in the center, fan is the outer ring)
Here is a view from the front where the core is only thing visible.
My mother always said, how come there are no pictures of me in my ride reports... here I am, mom!
I guess Phantom's engines were still of some use when this one was retired...
Further up the road, per parents' recommendation, i had a little bite to eat and a chat with a MercyAir helicopter crew at The Voyager. Good stuff!!
But that is all for the Space Port! Time to get to the start of the real track! "I brake for sights!"

My planned track picked up a dirt trail starting just behind the Mojave Space Port, and continued South-East when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flag flying just above the bushes.
Here I would learn a little history behind Edwards AFB. Namely, that It was named in memory of U.S. Air Force test pilot Glen Edwards, who died, along with the crew of five, 5 June 1948 northwest of the base while testing the YB-49 Flying Wing, when they crashed at this very spot.
The real desert was calling!
And the civilization was slowly disappearing
A short visit to Randsburg was made, to fill up on gas, snacks, and some batteries for various gadgets but shortly out of town, another interesting personal discovery was made. It is actually possible to "flush" gold and silver out of ore with chemicals and the recover it to 99.9% purity in the form that we are all used to seeing! Amazing! These pictures are uploaded with higher rez, so you can probably save them and read the stuff.. not sure if it'll work.
The chemicals would be sprayed over a huge pile of excavated ore, and as they drip down into a giant drip pan, they absorb only gold and silver, which is then extracted and smelted into the "usual" forms.
A thought of Erzberg Rodeo crossed my mind here...
Damper full, check, throttle full, check.
Then, in the middle of nowhere, a tiny bit of fence and a water.. pit? There was no sign or evidence of cattle at all... wwhat gives..
Here is a beauty of SASplaneting/Googleearthing your tracks!
Never know what "discouragements" you might have to get around. Somehow I thought the UAVs will not hesitate to shoot
A few detours later, I stumbled upon The Husky Monument. I have only read about it before. What an interesting place..
It is now a home for many young and old alike..
But, my track ended up being a little too long for a day jaunt, so it was time to go and find some abandoned mines (not the explosive kind!) So, when you are out there, look around, you never know what you will find
This "cave" would end up being around 25-30 yards deep! Here is a look from the end of it looking back to the entrance.
That is what it looks like from the outside in the direction that I planned to go.
Next up was the abandoned airfield, with a few old airplanes parked on it. Someone on Pashnit forums said it was accessible. In reality, it ended up being another gunnery range. But you can see the planes in the distance. Looks like F4's.
It is incredibly surreal, racing across a dry lake bed! The feeling and the sight of the texture flying by is incredible!
There would be two lake beds on my track.. this is the nameless one, that was bigger and more awesome in every way!
It seems the rain was just there a few days ago, but the ground was already solid as a rock. Only the bike would leave a weak track. No boot prints while walking around was left = photo win!
Soon after the lake was gone, the desert kept changing. Vegetation appeared, the soil became rocky and sandy..
And some Joshua Trees appeared. Some were so enormous, that I began to suspect they were only a distant relative to the usual "Josh" but I'm no expert.
This track would lead me out of the desert toward Barstow. Time was now 1530, and I would be out of sunlight to do the second "half" of planned route. This brings me to the thought of making it a 2-day or maybe 3-day trip next time.. more on that in a bit.
The Giant Rock! My boss told me he visited it when he was 17 years old, by a small airplane, and told me it was a mysterious hangout for alien conventions and UFO believers in the 50-60's, and that some guy even lived under it, although ended up blowing himself up with some dynamite when the cops showed up to apprehend him for one thing or another
The real Madness was a desire to take a look at it, so I just pounded the slab to get there before the sunset. Mission (semi)success!
Trophies, you ask? SURE
One 20mm aircraft cannon shell!
That's it for the day!
So, why 1.0? Because the track will be refined, a little more track will be added at the start to make it a sunset sail-in at Barstow, for a camp/hotel. 2nd day will take us to the Big Bear area via the backroads/trails and Giant Rock, to camp/hotel up there (or just freeway it home), where the 3rd day will wind it's way through the backroads and trails of Mt. Baldy, and maybe even Gleason Peak area, and who knows what else..
Even though my schedule is "on-call" 24/7 and real days off are far and in between, it may just change in a next month or two when I train a "relief" part-timer, and if I get really lucky i might even find a companion or two to ride with for the next time! Oh snap, i just jinxed that thought! So much for that thought!!
Stay tuned

Hey, thanks for the report and pics! I've seen a few of those places, but you've pointed me to some future destinations.

I ended up coming back at night, and Tejon Pass was so fogged in I could hardly see the road markings... all in all, good fun! I'm gonna go back for more once i get a few days in a row off..

using the convention that juxtaposition has higher precedence. This identity has been variously called medial, abelian, alternation, transposition, bi-commutative, bisymmetric, surcommutative, entropic, etc.
Any commutative semigroup is a medial magma, and a medial magma has an identity element if and only if it is a commutative monoid. An elementary example of a nonassociative medial quasigroup can be constructed as follows: take an abelian group except the group of order 2 (written additively) and define a new operation by x * y = (− x) + (− y).
A magma M is medial if and only if its binary operation is a homomorphism from the Cartesian square M x M to M. This can easily be expressed in terms of a commutative diagram, and thus leads to the notion of a medial magma object in a category with a cartesian product. (See the discussion in auto magma object.)
If f and g are endomorphisms of a medial magma, then the mapping f.g defined by pointwise multiplication
is itself an endomorphism.

Free Workshop: Introducing the Making Connections Survey Datasets0
Event Title: Workshop Introducing the Making Connections Survey Datasets (Sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation)
Date: Wednesday, April 18th, 2012
Time: 1:00 – 5:00 PM
Location: UAA Conference Hotel—Wyndham Grand Downtown (Pittsburgh, PA)
Location: UAA Conference Hotel—Wyndham Grand Downtown (Pittsburgh, PA)
Cost: FREE
RSVP To: Kate Bachtell (email@example.com) Please indicate your software preference (SAS, STATA, SPSS, etc.) in your request.
This free half-day workshop will introduce participants to data collected by NORC at the University of Chicago for the Making Connections Survey. The data sets include responses from over 28,000 interviews and provide numerous analytical opportunities for conference papers, publications, and policy-related reports.
The Making Connections Survey is one component of a ten-year neighborhood-based initiative sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The survey was designed to provide information about the relationship between neighborhood change and the well-being of children and families. Data were collected in a set of ten disadvantaged urban communities across the United States that are diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, immigrant populations, and physical and economic conditions. The Making Connections datasets include a longitudinal sample of households interviewed at up to three points in time between 2002 and 2011, as well as representative point-in-time samples of neighborhood and county residents. The data supply measures of mobility, social capital, neighborhood processes, civic engagement, economic hardship, the availability and utilization of resources, and child and adolescent well-being.
Coffee and refreshments will be provided.
Although no fee is required for the workshop, space is limited. Please send a short message to Kate Bachtell at NORC to request your seat. Please indicate your software preference (SAS, STATA, SPSS, etc.) in your request.

Turkey recognizes Syrian rebels
Neighboring nation reiterates its support for new coalition
Posted: November 16, 2012 at 3:35 a.m.
Turkey made it clear Thursday that it officially recognized a newly formed rebel coalition as the legitimate leader of the Syrian people, an important step in the group's effort to attract legitimacy and, it hopes, more weapons to bring about the end of President Bashar Assad's rule.

Graduates go to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
The recent Edinburgh Fringe Festival was a successful launching pad for a number of recent East 15 graduates, with no fewer than six productions by East 15 alumni offering new work created by them.
Terrorist - The Musical received great reviews during it's three week run and it's controversial themes have caused it to be called the next Jerry Springer - The Opera. Jeremy Austin wrote for The Stage, 'There is certainly something very exciting locked inside the potential of this piece. America has won the war on terror and some of the world's most feared terrorist have been forced to form a circus troupe to make ends meet. Then Pope George Bush bans light entertainment and the reformed killers must take arms once more. The musical numbers are well-crafted - of particular note is Jessica Beck, as Patty Hearst, singing a folk number about her ordeal and a Jewish-sounding face-off between Israeli Menachem Begin and Palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled.'
The Opening was devised whilst at East 15 and later developed into a successful show for Edinburgh, at which it was well received. The Scotsman said, 'Love hurts. Sometimes, sex hurts too. Pandora, a towering giant of a drag queen, welcomes you to her late-night cabaret. Pandora ridicules the weak - pointing a mocking finger at the lonely and the sexually inadequate. This is a slick, witty show and certainly entertaining to watch. Mathew Blake is great as the glamorous, imperious dominatrix Pandora.'

Was just doing it now as you sent this to me
Free up some space.
I can do one match for the next RTE show if you want. I'm on top of my Supershow stuff so I think I can spare an hour or so to do a match.
By now, they're nearly all up there my man, Vixxens, tag teams and all. Just a few bits missing on a few now, I hope that they'll all be 100% complete in a day/2 days at most
All bios for the singles male wrestlers of RTE are now in the roster section. I've started on the tag teams and Vixxens and hope to finish those off later
Was I supposed to have a promo assignment?
Sounds good man
Batcave please sir!
I'm there man!
As you can probably guess, you can ignore the first PM, the second one is the one you need to use!

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
The game offers five different mountains, each of which has a variety of slopes, so players won't run out of places to ride very quickly. And because of the graphical detail, you'll be able to see all the smallest details essential to the game, such as thin rails that you'll be grinding on.
Character Building game play
Shaun White Snowboarding focuses on mastering four different disciplines of snowboarding: speed, tricks, grinding, and carving. When you start the game, you create a character and by mastering the disciplines and acquiring stickers, and you can improve your character in categories such as balance and speed.
Participate in Different Challenges
Shaun White Snowboarding offers different challenges, each needing a different skill set to win. One challenge is a race down the mountain with other CPU riders, another is tackling a course set up for tricks where you can jump, ride on rails, and perform a whole set of different tricks to get a high score. If you're sick of the snow, practice grinding on rails and tree trunks without ever touching the ground. And you can also compete in carving events, performing sharp carves by holding down the trigger button and maintaining control of your character.
As you win challenges, you unlock courses and get more stickers that improve your characters skills.
Ride Down a Mountain With Your Friends
Shaun White Snowboarding features multiplayer modes, so you can ride the slope together with your friends, as either a friend or as a competitor in a speed run down to the bottom. You can also trade the stickers that you've accumulated in your game with other players.

Lo De Marcos To La Manzanilla
Saying goodbye to Lo De Marcos and our Canadian family we set of to La Manzanilla.
With 294 km to do it was an easy day, weather ok temperature for riding in and fine, the trip was uneventful so quite a bonus.
Arriving later than we anticipated after getting caught up in thick traffic we went down to Jolandas Restaurant and the staff told us where to find Jolanda and Leons where Ken and Carol Duval were staying, we had some goodies for Ken so we were playing delivery boys as well.
We headed back into town to check out the sunset.
Jolanda and Leons is a great hideaway with great security, a cool as Rotweiller (once you have been introduced), swimming pool and three Cabanas set 2 km off the main road, we really enjoyed our stay for three nights relaxing and getting more health back day by day.
Ken and I chewing the fat
During our stay we all piled into and onto the ute and went into town for a rock concert night at Jolandas, danced and drunk Pina Coladas ... what a treat!
Silly face contest
Leon makes bread as part of their Restaurant and Accommodation set up, we bought some to try and it was second to none, freshly baked you just about have to reserve your loaf as they go quickly.
With beautiful sunsets and birds La Manzanilla is a really neat place, the other wildlife we caught up with was a very spooky fish head on the beach ... dunno what breed it was but I think it came from Mars.
Jolandas accommodation is found at N19 17.939 W104 46.176, you turn off opposite the turn off to La Manzanilla township, first house on the left after going through the trees, through a dip in the road then along a straight, spot the white house with the black double gates, highly recommended with neat cabanas.
The restaurant is downtown and RIGHT on the beach, easily found at N19 17.001 W 104 47.305 down the main drag, last turn right before the beach and 300 metres along on the right hand side.
Me sittin on the beach in the sun

These guys are both RTW motorcycle travelers too so plenty of good yarns over Red wine. Ellen is also offered a job as a Sushi cook at Jolanda's but she decide to travel around the world before settles down

Through their organisation, the Rwandan Women Living with HIV/Aids, have called on the government to come up with measures to reinforce the fight against stigma of people living with HIV, especially in schools.
Philomene Cyurinyana, the Executive Secretary of the organisation, urged the government to come up with a clear system that will facilitate students with HIV to easily access drugs and fight stigma in schools.
"Such a system should also bring on board the Ministry of Education for proper coordination."
Students living with HIV are sometimes discriminated in schools because of their status by their fellow students, which might lead to students hiding their status and even not taking the medicines at the right time.
Uwitonze, who didn't want to mention her second name, said that she left her former school before the end of 2nd term because of students isolating her as a person who can infect them.
"This happened without teachers' concern but when I reported the case, the administration was concerned. The students were warned but instead it became worse than before as everyone recognised me," she said.
She explained it made her feel she was useless but she could not find a better solution until she was counselled and she decided to change her school and name.
Stigmatizing patients and leaving them open to abuse is deeply misguided said Betty Mukeshimana who is also infected
"For people who are older and mature we don't care and we manage to handle the case, but with students, it needs more sensitization so that they can know how to live with such people in society," she noted.
"I knew my son was infected at the age of 5, he is fifteen years now, he started the treatment but I can not take him far from me because he has to take his medicine every day".
Sebaziga Gakunzi, Director of social impact mitigation in Rwanda Bio Medical Centre, said the government was putting in more efforts to sensitise people, including students, to improve the situation.
"We know it still exists, but the government is finding possible ways through campaigns in schools and through the media," said Sebaziga.
He called on parents to advise their children on issues concerning HIV and even how to associate with them because they are part of the community.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Spoiler: Yani Gellman Teases the "Evil Twin"
As we speculated yesterday, that creepy little girl in the Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode (Season 3, Episode 13: "This Is a Dark Ride") added a lot of weight to the theory that Alison (Sasha Pieterse) had a twin named Courtney growing up — which is also a plot line in the original PLL books. Now, one of the stars is bringing up an "evil twin" in an interview. Coincidence, or a clue?
Yani Gellman (Garrett Reynolds) told The Hollywood Reporter that he definitely thinks his character will be back on PLL in the future, but only in flashbacks. (Which is something we reported yesterday.) "[Showrunner] Marlene [King] mentioned to me that there is a lot of backstory that needs to be explained," he says. "Who knows. Maybe I have an evil twin who lives the next city over."
Yani! Around here, you can't say "evil twin" when talking about PLL and not be referring to the popular fan theory that Ali killed her twin sister Courtney and that's the "Ali" body that is floating around. Do you think Yani was subtly trying to give fans a hint about what's to come?
To be fair, we know that the actors rarely ever know what's going to happen next on the show (or at least until they get their scripts). So we doubt that Yani actually knows if Ali's twin is coming up on the show. But as we know, in Rosewood, everything is a clue.
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Catch the return of PLL Season 3 on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Hey everyone, this is Gianna checking in!
I just got back from our game against Clark University and thought it would be a good time to update you all as to the team's progress. In a nutshell, up to this point, we have a 3-1 record which we are all proud of. We were a little tight in our first game against Roger Williams last week and unfortunatly we weren't able to pull out the win. The game was a great experience for us though because we were able to go back into the gym the next day and work on the things that we were lacking, namely our transition on defense and our communication.
We had two games over the weekend against Salve Regina and Babson. We defended our home territory and won both games. Our first game against Salve Regina we played a little tentatively but our second game against Babson we came out with all the confidence and enthusiasm in the world and not only brought back a win but had a great time doing so!
I am a bit reluctant to admit this, but our team has recently become a bit obsessed with the Spice Girls, especially the movie Spice World...it was the inspiration for the title of this blog! Taylor and Ski made a video of them dancing and singing to " My Gang" ( which I'd love to post on here for the world to see...I just have to figure out how!) and it's snowballed from there. Before each game we huddle up and Taylor goes in the middle of the circle..after a bit of yelling, Taylor screams out "BLAH BLAH BLAH" and we all respond with " GIRL POWER!" It's a fun way to pump ourselves up and relax a bit before we compete.
Tuesday, we had Clark at home...we started out slowly in the first two sets (at one point in the second set we were down 11-1!) but then chipped away at the deficit to eventually take the lead and win the game. Althought we certainly want to come out stronger and take the lead first, we think our team showed great character tonight. It's easy to let the score dictate a team's energy and how they approach the rest of the set but we continued to work hard which eventually allowed us to take the lead.
We are still a little raw and rough around the edges and there are plenty of things we know we need to improve upon as the season progresses, but we all believe that this team has great potential. Coach Fran has done an amazing job thus far improving our skills and helping us build an awesome team chemistry. Coach Pete continues to find a perfect balance between pushing us to be better and and patting us on the back when it's most needed. We are going to continue to work hard in practice and put forth the effort necessary to become the team that we all know we are capable of being.
