The Rescue (Acrylic on masonite 17.5" x 24.5")
Here is the second painting I've posted to CA. It's nearly done, but I feel that the foreground still needs a bit of work. Maybe add some foliage so that the "promised land" to which the figures are fleeing looks more inviting, possibly with some cool light source streaming in from the right? Also, I can't figure out what to do with the distant island. should I just lose it or knock it back? Anyway, all comments and criticisms are appreciated!

I like it. I don't mind the neck's thickness, but personally I'd make the angle of his lower jaw/throat even sharper and more 90 degree-ish (and maybe even have it bee in shadow, without the cast light on the lower jaw) since we're dealing with pretty strong and angular style. Also I'd lose the rimlights on the guy's lower hand, I don't think there would be light cast on it (especially since the baby's back is in shadow) and I don't think they're really necessary either.
Also yeah, I wouldn't say no adding some foliage since for a promised land it is pretty desolate; however in personal terms I might even prefer the more depressing look of it. It makes the image sadder.

Thanks for the input. I think you're right about the hands, but I'm probably going to leave them alone at this point. I wish I had posed some friends with lighting to really get the shadows more accurate. Oh well, next time!

I like it, the stylized figure, your color choices are good ... I don't think adding foliage is necessary after all it looks to be dusk so the mystery lies in what they might find in the dawn. I think the Island in the back fits with your rhythm and the angled strokes of the foreground and the clouds and even the branches of the tree are in rhythm ... i really like the contrast of the flames, i think this is a strong piece. -James Lochner

OAK LEAF ROLLERS CAN BE CONTROLLEDWriter: Edith A. Chenault, (979) 845-2886,firstname.lastname@example.com
Contact: Dr. Bart Drees, (979) 845-7026,email@example.com
COLLEGE STATION – It's like something out of a science fiction movie. Squirmy, twisting THINGS dangling by silken threads from trees. You can't visit your patio anymore. You feel trapped inside the house. They're absolutely horrid.
Actually, oak leaf rollers are harmless to humans. But the caterpillars can do significant damage to trees if left unchecked – particularly in some parts of Central Texas in March and April, said Dr. Bart Drees, entomologist with Texas Cooperative Extension.
"In early spring many species of caterpillars can defoliate oaks and other trees," Drees said. "The caterpillars feed on the early spring growth and occasionally will eat all of the newly-emerged leaves."
One caterpillar that occurs throughout Texas is the oak leaf roller, he said.
When disturbed oak leaf rollers spin silken threads and dangle from leaves and branches. Other caterpillars that dangle from silk threads include the spring and fall cankerworms, which are often called inchworms, he said.
Oak leaf roller moths lay their eggs on twig tips and leaf buds of several different tree species. The eggs remain on the buds or twigs for about 10 months and begin to hatch in March, Drees said.
Once they hatch, the caterpillars, or larvae, feed on tender new spring growth of the tree. The larvae are creamy white to greenish in color and have dark black or brown head capsules.
"Heavily infested trees will occasionally be defoliated by mid-to-late April, when the fully grown caterpillars form the pupa stage on the tips of twigs, in bark crevices or on weeds and other plants growing near infested trees," he said.
When trees become defoliated during the growing season, they become stressed and are subject to serious damage, he said. Green leaves manufacture the sugar (later converted into other carbohydrates) that allows the tree to grow and thrive, he said.
Because of the density and the number of trees, using insecticides to control the oak leaf roller is not feasible.
"Often the best course of action is to simply do nothing," he said. "Post oak trees have survived in South and Central Texas without human intervention through time, despite periodic pest outbreaks and resulting defoliation."
Caterpillar pest outbreaks are cyclic, rarely occurring year after year, he said.
In residential areas, valuable landscape or orchard trees may need to be protected from caterpillar outbreaks.
"Watch trees closely, especially if they have a history of oak leaf roller infestation, from mid- to late-March," Drees said. "If you observe heavy defoliation, the tree can be sprayed with a registered insecticide containing either carbaryl, such as Sevin, the insecticide that contains Bacillus thuringiensis, or any other insecticide products for the control of caterpillars on ornamental trees and shrubs."
For people, Drees suggests wearing broad-rimmed hats and long-sleeved shirts while outdoors if the oak leaf rollers are numerous enough to be bothersome.
"Knowing that these caterpillars are harmless to people and animals and their occurrence is seasonal may provide some comfort," he said.
More information on the oak leaf roller and related species can be found in a newly-revised and released fact sheet (No. E-206) at the Extension Bookstore Web site at http://tcebookstore.org.

Thank You for the veggie recipes.
Made this for supper. I decided to use egg roll wraps because I was to lazy to make so many.I also baked them. This will be a keeper.
Forgot to say I also made the spinach and feta cigars and the mushroom and gruyere cigars. So you could say ut was a cigar night.

Nice Writting In My Journal.
I love to write in my journal. I don't write in it everyday but when my thoughts and feelings are all cluttered up in my head it's nice to write them all down. It helps restructure my thoughts, goals, ideas, and where I'd like to go in my life or what I'd like to do next in my life. It's pretty cool having it all written down. :)

I have kept a journal for years.
I'd do that to but my thoughts are always too jumbled

In many ways, Allie Seekins is like any other 8-year-old.
She plays soccer. She enjoys eating cake at birthday parties. She spends summer afternoons playing with her 5-month-old puppy, Justice. She likes to cool off by swimming in the pond on her family's property in Hockinson.
But in many ways, Allie's life is much different than that of a typical third-grader.
Before playing soccer, Allie has to prick her finger for a blood test. And before she can eat a piece of cake, she has to make sure her blood-sugar levels aren't too high. And before she can jump into the pond, she has to remove the pump that delivers insulin 24 hours a day through a catheter under the skin on her back.
Three years ago, Allie was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Her life — and her parents' lives — haven't been the same since.
"The insulin is what keeps her alive, and that is so scary," said Allie's mom, Kari Seekins.
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases among children and adolescents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the U.S., about 151,000 people younger than 20 have diabetes, according to the CDC.
Diabetes is a disease affecting how one's body uses blood glucose, or blood sugar. During digestion, sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream. Normally, sugar then enters cells, with the help of insulin.
When a person eats, his or her pancreas secretes insulin into the bloodstream. A person with diabetes has too much glucose in their blood. The reason behind the excess glucose distinguishes Type 1 from Type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is when the body's immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas, making the body incapable of producing insulin. So people with Type 1 diabetes must rely on insulin injections or an insulin pump.
Researchers don't know exactly what causes Type 1 diabetes but suspect it's an autoimmune disease — one's own immune system attacking healthy cells — that can happen to anybody, said Robin Hammon, a diabetes educator at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center.
Type 1 diabetes is not reversible and stays with the person for the rest of his or her life.
Every year, more than 13,000 kids are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, according to the CDC. However, over the last two decades, more and more children are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, which is usually diagnosed in adults over 40.
Type 2 diabetes is the result of the body's cells becoming insulin resistant, allowing sugar to remain in the bloodstream. Increasing obesity rates and sedentary lifestyles are thought to be contributing to the growing number of kids with Type 2 diabetes, according to the CDC. Diet and exercise can help to slow or stop the progression of Type 2 diabetes.
Power of the pump
For the first 21/2 years, Allie relied on insulin injections, but she grew weary of the shots. Every time she ate something with more than about 10 grams of carbohydrates, she needed an insulin shot. Some days, Allie was getting seven or eight shots.
So, about six months ago, Allie got an insulin pump. Now she can administer additional insulin with just a few taps of the buttons on her insulin pump. The pump, however, must be attached at all times.
And while the pump makes administering insulin easier, it doesn't lessen the amount of diligence needed to make sure Allie stays healthy.
Allie tests her blood sugar about five to eight times a day. Every night, Kari wakes up at least once, pricks Allie's finger and tests her blood sugars.
While Allie sleeps, she's at risk of her blood-sugar levels dropping dangerously low or spiking too high. As kids sleep, their blood-sugar levels can be affected by earlier activities, meals and blood-sugar levels, changing hormone levels and how much they're growing, Hammon said. As such, kids with Type 1 diabetes typically need to be checked between 2 and 4 a.m., she said.
As a result, Allie doesn't stay overnight at friends' houses.
Before school starts every year, Kari and Derek Seekins have to ask Allie's new teacher to take on the responsibility of administering an emergency injection of medication if Allie's blood-sugar levels drop drastically. The teacher also has to be trained on how and when to administer the shot.
At school, Allie has a kit with snacks and juices that can help bring up low blood-sugar levels. Her parents also have to submit a plan to the school, outlining treatment and emergency responses.
During school, Allie tests her blood sugar before eating and any time she starts to experience symptoms of high or low blood sugar. Those symptoms include headaches, clouded thinking, getting really hungry or needing to go to the bathroom repeatedly.
Kari gets phone calls every day from school staff updating her on Allie's readings and asking questions about managing Allie's diabetes.
Kari also gets asked questions — and receives unsolicited advice — while out in public with her daughter. People look at Allie — a thin 8-year-old — and question how she could have diabetes, Kari said.
One time at the grocery store, a woman asked about Allie's insulin pump. When Kari explained that Allie has diabetes, the woman asked why Kari would be buying juice for her daughter.
Another time, a parent from Allie's school mentioned that her son had poor eating habits and he, too, would likely get diabetes. And another time, somebody told Kari, "At least it isn't cancer."
"It's frustrating people think it's no big deal," Kari said. "Diabetes is a life-long disease."
While diabetes is a life-long disease, children and adults can live healthy, active lives with diabetes, Hammon said. Technology is constantly improving diabetes management. Support groups, summer camps and Internet communities help support kids and families facing the disease, she said.
Still, managing the disease can be daunting for both parents and kids, Hammon said.
"There's really nothing you can't do because you're diabetic," she said. "You have to watch what you eat and you have to monitor yourself, but you can have a normal life."

Charleston is a city in Bradley County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 651 at the 2010 census.[3] It is included in the Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Charleston was the site of the last Cherokee Agency as well as Fort Cass, the headquarters of the Cherokee Removal of 1838, known as the Trail of Tears. The valley between Charleston and Cleveland, Tennessee was filled for 12 miles (19 km) with internment camps in which thousands of Cherokee from various towns waited during the summer of 1838 for the start of the main trek west (Duncan 2003:261).
Charleston is situated along the south bank of the Hiwassee River, which flows down out of the Appalachian Mountains several miles to the east and empties into the Chickamauga Lake impoundment of the Tennessee River several miles to the west. The river forms the boundary between Bradley County and McMinn County. Calhoun, Charleston's sister city, is situated on the north bank of the Hiwassee, on the McMinn County side.
Charleston is traversed by U.S. Route 11, which enters the city from Calhoun to the north and exits the city en route to Cleveland to the south. Interstate 75, which roughly parallels U.S. 11 in the area, runs along Charleston's western boundary.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), of which 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2), or 5.77%, is water.
|Historical population
|Est. 2012
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 630 people, 265 households, and 182 families residing in the city. The population density was 639.9 people per square mile (248.2/km²). There were 280 housing units at an average density of 284.4 per square mile (110.3/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 72.54% White, 23.49% African American, 0.48% Asian, 0.79% from other races, and 2.70% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.90% of the population.
There were 265 households out of which 24.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 56.2% were married couples living together, 9.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 31.3% were non-families. 29.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.38 and the average family size was 2.92.
In the city the population was spread out with 22.5% under the age of 18, 8.3% from 18 to 24, 26.7% from 25 to 44, 26.8% from 45 to 64, and 15.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 91.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 88.4 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $33,750, and the median income for a family was $40,781. Males had a median income of $31,389 versus $18,333 for females. The per capita income for the city was $18,586. About 5.7% of families and 8.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 14.0% of those under age 18 and 12.9% of those age 65 or over.
The city is across the Hiwassee River from a large paper mill operation of Bowater Corporation (Resolute Forrest Products) in Calhoun, which is a major local employer. Logging trucks and rail traffic to and from this plant frequently traverse Charleston.
Germany based chemical company Wacker Chemie broke ground in 2011 on a new solar-grade polysilicon production facility (550-acre Greenfield site). At a cost of $ 2 billion there will be 650 new jobs generated.
Charleston is the postal address of the international headquarters of the Christian denomination The Church of God, commonly called "The Church of God (Charleston, Tennessee)" to distinguish it from other similarly named denominations. However, the denomination's headquarters are actually located in Cleveland.
An Amazon Fulfillment Center, located off the interstate in Charleston, employs several hundred people.
Olin Chemical and Lonza, both located on Old Lower River Road in Charleston, make pool chemicals as well as several other products. They employ several hundred people.
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Charleston has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[6]

Hello out there to the fans and critics of C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux!
Since we have received loads of feedback about the Mod as version 1.2 and patch 1.21 have been released back in December 2008. I wish to take note about that most concerns brought o our attention have been graphics quality. Personally, I had strived to make the Mods gameplay as fun, complete, and as bug free as possible while keeping a careful balance between its units and sides, graphics quality came second as it is always being updated anyways. So we do mostly have complaints about particle effects and low quality textures at this point. Along with adding new missions, units, and the subfactions, we did make many enhancements to the particle effects and textures since version 1.1, but your PC graphics settings may have been set too low to see the new settings, which is quite unfortunate. If your PC can handle the settings, you can see the full effects of the particles and textures by moving your Max Particle Count and Texture Resolution sliders all the way to the right in the Options menu of the game and click "accept" at the bottom of the menu. ( do not forget that you will have to select custom graphics options first before you gain access to these settings)
However, this Mod has been built by C&C fans for C&C fans and for as long as I am concerned it will always be developed under that philosophy! So I ask you as either a critic or as a fan of this Mod... help us with your input with getting the quality and gameplay enhanced so we can make Tiberian Dawn Redux stand amongst the greatest Mods out there for the Command & Conquer series! Perhaps we could become standalone one day and become something similiar to a modern expansion pack to the classic game that we have recreated here!
Thank you for your support!

When you get married, hopefully you know a lot about your husband. How many kids he wants, his views on spending money, how he can open another Gatorade, forgetting that he's left four other half empty bottles in every room of the house. But you might not have thought about how you and your husband would differ socially and what that might mean to your marriage.
Whether it's because you've undergone a life transition that made you grow apart from old friends -- a relocation, a job change, a divorce, a marriage, becoming a parent -- or whether you've just recognized that many of your friendships have gradually faded (or worse, become toxic), you're never alone if you're looking to make new friendships.

Select Local Merchants
Manhattan LanesRead MoreManhattan Lanes hosts classic entertainment throughout the week with open hours and league bowling opportunities on 16 well-maintained lanes. Each Friday and Saturday, the alley transforms into a cosmic bowling headquarters, with colorful lights moving to the beat of popular songs and adding realism to moon-landing re-creations. The on-site pro shop stocks a complete selection of balls, bags, shoes, and accessories, and also provides screen-printing and embroidery services for custom bowling team uniforms. Bowling lessons are available from the shop's team members, who provide expert tips on how to hunt pins in their natural environment.1120 S BroadwayDe Pere, WI US
Heritage Hill State ParkRead MoreA two-story brick house from the late 1800s stands within walking distance of a wooden fur-trader's cabin from the 1700s. Just down the road, cheesemongers and printmakers ply their time-honored trades behind open storefronts, and the ringing of a blacksmith's hammer joins with the click of a digital camera's shutter in a soundtrack several centuries in the making. It's safe to say that Heritage Hill State Historical Park's anachronistic blending of historical eras might confuse an uninformed onlooker, but visitors who know better will relish the park's four outdoor areas, each of which depicts a unique period in Wisconsin's history. The living-history museum sits on 50 acres along the banks of the Fox River and features more than 25 original and reconstructed buildings that illustrate the lives of their residents—a list that includes French-influenced fur traders, the federal occupants of Fort Howard, and Belgian immigrants. The museum's curators have brought these former residents back to life through strange and unexpected means; the fur-trader's cabin was discovered almost by accident by a demolition crew who found it hidden inside a larger house. In each of the park's areas, historic interpreters dressed according to their time period divulge facts about the buildings' histories and their inhabitants' day-to-day lives, which often included hours of churning butter and playing 8-bit Atari games. Five of the original on-site buildings can be found on the National Register of Historic Places, and museum groundskeepers further ensure each area's historical accuracy by planting period-appropriate trees and plants. Tours take visitors of all ages on regular journeys through the past, and museum staffers organize field trips and summer camps especially for youth groups. Seasonal events include craft workshops, live concerts, and raucous fiddle-shredding contests.2640 South Webster AvenueGreen Bay, WI US
National Railroad MuseumRead MoreResting beneath natural light from the skylights mounted above it, the hulking figure of the 1.2 million-pound Union Pacific Big Boy cloaks visitors in a shadow that stretches for nearly 50 yards. As guests ascend the monstrous cab of this steam locomotive, they enter the centerpiece of the National Railroad Museum, a chamber echoing with more than 150 years of American railroading history. After exiting Big Boy, guests can view a computer-generated porter that recounts how African-American rail workers formed the nation's first all-black labor union, and another stop invites passengers to view inside a portion of General Eisenhower's WWII command train. Elsewhere in the museum, various collections are housed with more than 15,000 photographs, archives such as maps and engineering drawings, and more than 5,000 artifacts including uniforms and tools. The National Railroad Museum has over 60 pieces of rolling stock, including diesel, steam, and electric locomotives, and passenger and freight cars. Among these are some of the most influential and unique pieces in railroading history, including a number of items that pertain to the state of Wisconsin. Other must-sees of the museum include General Motors' experimental Aerotrain; the streamlined Pennsylvania Railroad No. 4890, a GG-1 electric locomotive; and the Frederick Bauer Drumhead Collection, the largest, single collection of railroad drumheads known to exist in the United States. Most facilities are accessible, except where rolling stock cannot be altered due to their historic nature. The Museum's train ride is accessible, and a wheelchair lift is available. A train ride is offered on a daily basis from May through September and guided tours are available from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Museum also hosts a variety of special events for all ages.2285 S BroadwayGreen Bay, WI US
Village LanesRead MoreFor more than 35 years, Village Lanes has hosted neighborhood bowling-league playoffs, birthday parties, and weekday bowling trips. Whether visitors are barely capable of keeping balls out of the gutter or able to clean rain gutters with a well-aimed bowl, they find their niche at this family-run alley. USBC Silver-certified coach Jerry Polarek encourages his students to achieve their best during weekend and after-school youth leagues, and birthday and corporate parties of all sizes share pizza and celebratory high-fives lane side. After knocking self-satisfied smirks off the faces of taunting pins, of-age guests can share celebratory sips of beer and cocktails at the comfortable lounge or chow down on pizza and buffalo wings at the snack bar.3798 Velp Ave.Green Bay, WI US
Pro BowlRead MoreThe staff at Suamico Ale House & Pro Bowl believes in the three Bs: bowling, beer, and burgers. As balls thunder down 1 of 48 lanes, patrons toast strikes with 1 of 21 draft beers or attempt to bribe the wizard inside each score-keeping computer with 1 of 11 burgers, each made with farm-raised hereford beef. Not content to stick to basics, Suamico Ale House jazzes up its menu with baked salmon, greek pizzas, and thai peanut-chicken sandwiches alongside staples of chicken wings slathered in 1 of 14 sauces such as pineapple habanero and Asian Zing. Sports games play on plasma screens in the pub area as competitive patrons settle bowling ties at the eatery's pool tables or dartboards.2310 Lineville RdGreen Bay, WI US
Ashwaubenon Bowling AlleyRead MoreCommunities tend to like places that have good roots. That's one reason why Green Bay Press-Gazette readers voted the locally owned and operated Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley the 2012 Best of the Bay's Best Bowling Alley. For more than three decades, guests have flocked to the facility's 60 lanes to test their ball-rolling and pin-eating skills alongside friends and family. Each Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, DJ Rusty Lee's tracks work with black lights and fog machines to create a nightclub-like cosmic bowling experience.2929 Allied StGreen Bay, WI US

Impressive Quality 1793 S-13 Liberty Cap Cent1793 1C Liberty Cap VF30 PCGS. S-13, B-20, High R.3. Six different die varieties of the 1793 Liberty Cap issue are known, used to produce 11,056 coins. The entire mintage was accomplished from the use of four obverse dies and two reverse dies, or an average of 2,764 coins per obverse and 5,528 coins per reverse die. Joseph Wright designed the Liberty Cap motif for the cent, and he and his assistants began making the six dies necessary for the coinage. Wright's design vaguely recalled the Libertas Americana Medal. The entire mintage was struck and then delivered on September 18, only a few days after Wright died of the yellow fever. The exact date is not known, but it is understood that Wright passed away on September 12 or 13 of that year.
This example is remarkable for its overall quality. The smooth medium brown and tan surfaces have only a few minor scratches and abrasions. Both sides have a full border, consisting of small beads rather than dentils of the later large cents. Although not perfect, and very few of these 200 year old coins are, this is an excellent quality example, probably well into the top 20 for the variety.(Registry values: P6) (PCGS# 1360)

Umbral Strikes is going to be your bread and butter buff for a while after you get it, as the spell gives everyone in your group a 25% chance to cause extra damage whenever they attack. One particularly interesting ability allows you to deal slightly more damage to a target of your choosing over a period of time, but less damage to everything else as a cost. This one seems like an obvious choice for epic monsters or maybe that particularly annoying tank in RvR. Your level ten spell is probably the second most important spell, next to your brand new buff. It's a classic AoE root that no spellcaster should be without, really.
Refer back here for information on Dark Magic (DM) and the Backlash mechanic.
- Level 6 - Umbral Strikes
30 AP no range
Instant cast, no cooldown
Everyone in your group is filled with dark energy for 1 hour, giving them a 25% chance to deal an additional 20dmg any time they deal damage.
- Level 7 - Word of Pain
20 AP 100ft range
Instant cast, no cooldown
Builds 5 DM, can backlash
Reduces your target's Willpower by 2 for 10s, and can be stacked up to 3 times. When this effect ends, the victim will suffer 39 Spirit dmg for each application that was stacked.
- Level 8 - Shattered Shadows
40 AP 80ft range
3s cast, no cooldown
Builds 20 DM, can backlash
You crush your foes underneath a blast of living shadow, dealing 50 Spirit dmg to your target and all other enemies within 20ft of them.
- Level 8 - Mage Bolt
Rank 1 Morale 100ft range
Instant cast, 60s cooldown
A focused blast that deals 160dmg.
- Level 9 - Obsessive Focus
20 AP 100ft range
Instant cast, 60s cooldown
You become obsessed with your target for 20s, dealing 10% more dmg to them, but 10% less dmg to everyone else. Even if the target dies, your obsession will persist for the full duration.
- Level 10 - Grip of Fear
30 AP no range
Instant cast, 20s cooldown
All enemies within 30ft become Rooted, making them unable to move for 5s. Rooted targets have a 50% chance to break free when they suffer damage.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by J'lou Like warm butter I too balked at the price of this shirt, but after reading the first review and my own experience with the quality of CP Shades, I ordered it. No regrets! Putting this on is like pouring on warm butter but without the greasy mess. It is so soft and warm, and I am all about comfort. (If something is not comfortable, it does not matter how cute something is - I won't wear it - maybe that is called getting older haha!) Anyways, I love the color combo and the fit. I am 5'4, 120 lb and 34B. The small fits me like in the photos...I would be swimming in the medium. So go for it! Treat yourself to a really great shirt this fall/winter!

This shirt far exceeded my expectations, being fairly frugal, I never spend this much on one shirt but with all the cool details and colors in this I couldn't resist. This is incredibly soft but yet lightweight. It feels like flannel on the inside(it's not) so I know it will be warm but not heavy. Runs pretty true to size, I ordered the xsm I am 130lbs. w/DD bra and fits w/o pulling but I am going to try sm also because it may shrink some being all cotton. LOVE the color combo, will go with so much that I have with the black gingham and brownish green plaid lining. It has so much going for it and so very unique like nothing I own. All I can say is bury me in this shirt! 9.22.2014

Why set your rev limiter so low? Piston speed is super safe until you are real close to 9000rpm. If your valves aren't floating and they shouldn't be with titanium spring retainers, rev it higher for more power. If it isn't making more power up there you still might be able to use the over rev to your advantage at some tracks. 336's have good usable over rev.
Good points,I'm not sure on the advance, have to check with my Guru on that.... I have bugger all experience outside stock setup.
The motor was put together on a real low budget just to see if riding on the track was for me, the valve train is stock at this stage. Been looking at SS Manley valves ( lighter), titanium retainers and beehive springs.Another 1000 rpm would sure be useful, would be able to stay in front of the featherbed Dominator 850 after passing him on the corner under brakes....
Had a good season with the old girl, surprised quite a few, expecially the Harleys.

New York Stirs Teacher Angst Over Listing of Performance Grades
Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- A New York City court battle over the release of performance reports for public-school teachers highlights a national debate over judging instructors by their students' success on standardized tests.
The United Federation of Teachers yesterday asked the New York Supreme Court to block release of reports that measure individual instructors' success in boosting student scores. The union and the city agreed not to release teachers' names until the case is heard, Jesse Levine, a New York City assistant corporation counsel, said in an interview. News organizations made freedom-of-information requests to release and publish the data, which the union says is flawed and unfair.
The Obama administration is pushing to use standardized test scores to evaluate teachers, an effort being fought by their unions. The public disclosure of such information now seems inevitable, said Kati Haycock, president of the Education Trust, a nonpartisan research and advocacy group in Washington.
"It would be one thing if teacher differences were minor - - they're not," Haycock said in a telephone interview. "They are huge. It would be irresponsible to teachers and, more important, irresponsible to kids, if we didn't generate these data and use them for improvement."
Michelle Rhee, schools chancellor of the District of Columbia, drew controversy for her use of student test scores to measure teacher quality and dismiss instructors. Rhee announced her resignation last week after her educational policies became an issue in the unsuccessful re-election bid of her boss, Mayor Adrian Fenty.
New York City has the nation's largest public school system, with 1.1 million students. New York's performance ratings use "value-added" analysis to assess teachers, according to the union's court filing. This approach attempts to determine whether pupils make larger or smaller gains than their previous test scores would have predicted. In theory, the ratings give teachers credit for their students' improvement, regardless of each pupil's starting point, Haycock said.
Accurately assessing the impact of individual teachers on students is tricky, in part because they often receive instruction from many teachers, Haycock said. The data should be used as part of a host of measures, said Douglas Ready, an assistant professor at Columbia University's Teachers College in New York.
Not Toaster Ovens
"Evaluating a teacher is not like rating a toaster oven," Ready said in a telephone interview. "Test scores are important to know, but they can't be the sole criteria by which teachers and schools are judged."
The New York Times and Wall Street Journal were among the news organizations that filed requests for the teacher ratings to be publicly disclosed. New York was scheduled to release the data today on 12,000 teachers before the agreement was reached to withhold the names. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for Nov. 24.
"While we respect UFT's right to sue, we believe that the public has a right to this information under the law," Natalie Ravitz, a spokeswoman for the city's education department, said in an e-mail.
"This information is misleading," Michael Mulgrew, president of the teachers' union, said yesterday during a press conference. "Thousands of parents are going to be given erroneous information. Let's give parents the right information -- real information."
The Los Angeles Times in August published a series of articles that analyzed 6,000 elementary school teachers' effectiveness in raising students' math and English scores. The release of the data spurred union protest, and one teacher committed suicide after the articles' publication.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg News.

Neighbours shocked to hear Rania Alayed may have been murdered
The former neighbours of a woman who is believed to have been murdered have spoken of their deep shock.
Rania Alayed, 25, from Norton on Teesside, moved to Manchester in January. In June, she vanished but her body has not been found.
Teesside Correspondent Rachel Bullock reports.
Neighbours shock that mother may have been murdered
The former neighbours of missing Rania Alayed have spoken of their shock to hear that she may have been murdered after moving to the North West earlier this year.
She has not been seen since June and police now believe her body may be buried beside the A19 near Thirsk. Friends living close to Rania's former home in Norton on Teesside said they were horrified.
Police believe missing mother 'buried beside A19'
The body of a missing mother-of-three is believed to be buried or concealed along a 19-mile (30km) stretch of rural road, police have said.
Rania Alayed, 25, was reported missing from her home in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, on July 2, having been last seen in public on the evening of June 7.
It is thought she was taken in a white camper van in the early hours of June 8 to the Thirsk area of North Yorkshire, where her body was disposed of.
The Leyland DAF 200 vehicle, registration number F864 RJB, which has since been recovered, is believed to have stopped in an unidentified layby on the northbound A19.
Two men have been charged with Ms Alayed's murder but detectives want to trace her body as their investigations continue.
Police appeal for witnesses in Rania search
Police searching for a missing mother of three from Cheetham Hill are appealing for witnesses who saw a white campervan which they think may be connected to her disappearance. They want to contact anyone who saw it on the A19 near Thirsk in the early hours of Saturday 8 June 2013.

There's a good mix of action scenes and plot movement, so I think it's safe to say that there's something for just about everyone in the Naruto manga (it even has a lot of female fans!). The battles are interesting in that your favorite character (or the one who seems most likely to win) may not win. The use of extreme force is often balanced by the fact that it's a severe drain on the user. The characters need to think quickly and choose which fighting form is appropriate to the given situation, rather than just rush in haphazardly.
But all that is, in my mind, secondary to the interesting characters present in the manga. Many of them have elaborate backstories which serve to bring this story to life.
The only downside is that one of the main females is rather...well...useless. But I have a feeling that will change as she learns and grows from the trials presented her.
I can't recommend this manga highly enough!

This song took the longest for me to learn. I made a big mistake by marking out the grace notes with pencil. I will try to erase them after I get the music out of the trash can. I thought I could print out another copy, but it would only print out the cover page and the first page. It made me irratated. Overall, great song! I want to be able to play all of the notes and not just the melody and the guitar chords (I have a book that teaches the guitar chords on the piano)!

I'm using
gcc and OpenMPI. Usually I run MPI programs using the
mpirun wrapper -- for example,
mpirun -np 4 myprogram
to start 4 processes.
However, I was wondering if it's possible to easily generate a binary which will do that automatically (maybe with some hardcoded options like
-np 4 above).
I know I can write a C wrapper that calls my program, such as the following:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
char *options[] = { "mpirun", "-np", "4", "myprogram" };
execvp("mpirun", options);
/* Ignoring return value to keep example simple */
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
but this seems a bit clumsy and I end up with two executables instead of one.
I have tried to explicitly link the MPI libraries, like
gcc -o myprogram -I/usr/lib/openmpi/include/ \
-lmpi -L/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/ myprogram.c
but the when I run resulting executable,
MPI_Comm_size sets zero as the group size (as if I had given
-np 0 as argument). Can I use an environment variable or something else to pass the group size? Or, is there another way to build a single-executable MPI program (using Linux and

Madden Curse? New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is willing to take his chances. Gronkowski is lobbying to be on the cover of the Madden '13 video game, according to NESN. The standout tight end is telling his fans to "Get Hype'd and Get Gronk'd" in his bid to adore the cover of the popular game. Then again, previous players who have been featured on the Madden game have wound up with forgettable seasons. Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis, last year's cover boy, struggled through an injury-plagued campaign and finished with 587 yards and three touchdowns. Among other marquee players who have had rough seasons after appearing on the cover are quarterbacks Michael Vick and Vince Young and running back Shaun Alexander. Gronkowski set NFL records for touchdowns (17) and receiving yards (1,327) by a tight end last season. He suffered an ankle injury in the AFC Championship Game and underwent surgery after the Super Bowl.

text: Hi.My almost 3 year old male Jack Russell is in perfect shape. About 3 weeks ago I noticed a small pea sized lump or growth on his butt. At first my husband and I thought it was an ingrown hair or pimple. We tried to squeeze it but it would not drain or pop. I brought him to the vet today since it has been getting larger over the last week and our vet says he needs surgery to have it removed. I can not remember what kind of growth he said it was, but he believes that it will not go away on its own and that it is either a pricker or something in his butt that has caused infection or that it could be cancerous. He said a biopsy needs to be done and we will get the results in about a week. Needless to say I am EXTREMELY worried. Has anyone ever had anything similar happen to their JR's. I am curios if cancer is common in them and what the odds may be that he is ok.

Tips for Sticking to Your Budget: Getting Clothes Shopping Under Control
Sometimes getting a bargain isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are tons of tips out there for getting a deal on your clothes shopping — shop off season for coats and swimsuits, swing by the store on a Wednesday morning to scope out the new markdowns, use the department store's extra percentage off coupon, etc. Sure, these are great tips for saving money when you buy clothing, but not particularly helpful if you're buying up the deals willy-nilly without an eye to how these items fit into your life. I'm all for saving money, but sometimes shopping smart, and for the right items, is more of a savings than any trick for getting a bargain.

Recently, for the first time in my life, I moved to a space with a basement. After spending so many years without one, I'll admit that at first I was hard-pressed to figure out what should go there. Thanks to having more tools, holiday decorations, and some extra kitchen supplies, I now have that covered, but it definitely got me thinking about what I did before I had all the extra storage space.
