YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Make the caponata: In a heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat until it hot but not smoking, in it cook the eggplant, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is tender, and transfer it to a bowl. To the skillet add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and in it cook the onion and the celery over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the olives, the capers, the vinegar, the sugar, the raisins, the pine nuts, and the tomatoes and cook the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the celery is tender, and transfer it to the bowl. Stir in the parsley, let the caponata cool, and chill it, covered,overnight. Season the caponata with salt and pepper.
Make the bruschetta: Grill the bread on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 1 minute on each side, brush the toasts on one side with the oil, and sprinkle them with salt to taste.
Top each toast generously with some of the caponata, arrange 2 or 3 toasts on each of 4 plates, and garnish each serving with the parsley sprigs.

On Earth Day, an Economics for People and Planet
Much has changed since the first Earth Day in 1970. Not only have our ecological crises come into sharper focus, it has also become obvious that we need to rescue not just the Earth, but also its people from the clutches of an economy gone mad. Worldwide, more and more people are recognizing that...

3D animation required
I'm currently designing an intro for a trailer for a (free) modification for Half Life 2, titled "Nuclear Dawn"
The 2 main animations are done, one is of the earth, as it spins around, and the other being a 360 frame complex atomic blast. Both the earth and atom bomb are textured.
The problem is, I need an animator capable of finishing this off.
What needs to be done:-
1) Earth Camera Rotation slowed down 70%+
2) More nuclear animations added to the earths surface, to go off at different times, some should have already occured while others just starting (different animations starting at 10th, 100th, 150th frame etc.) on the earths surface.
3) Possible lens flare shine at each blast
4) Sound added (I have all the sound files that'll be required)
Currently this is done (1/10th of the total animation):-
You'll also need the XVid codec:
If your able of finishing this small project off email email@example.com, I'll happily add you to the credits at the end.

This is cool, and very similar to an idea I had for an animation. I don't know what mega-tonnage a bomb would have to be to be -that- visible... but it looks cool so we can go for that whole style before substance thing...
some suggestions...
I like that at first we see the flashes going off in near darkness... i'd like it better if you started in total black, then tease us with initial explosions... play this up, keep the audience in suspense.
When you hit the luminous face of earth: Don't pull back so much, or at the very least don't do it so dramaticly.. smooth out the envelope so that you're pulling away at a constant rate from the beginning of the animation to the end of the cut.
Don't use a lens flare unless you put the sun in the animation (that might be a nice touch... if the sun could be seen cresting the curve of the eart as we come around toward the lighted side.) But Lens Flares are one of those over used effects that people are sick of... i'd say only use it if it detracts from realism not to have it.
Finally... atmosphere... your earth needs it. As is, it just looks like the surface is transluscent, not that there's a volumetric effect caused by the particles in the air surrounding the planet.
These are just some ideas... and don't assume I know what I'm talking about. I might be insane.

I thought the outfit was ok (a tad low cut - but I don't think she purposefully did it). Its the face I can't get over. She is ever so pretty - but she does have a doll-face - and she wears too much make-up when I'm sure she doesn't need to.
Her voice is another matter though - popera not opera. I do quite like her voice though.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/2/12
First baseman Aubrey Huff has received a $2 million buyout from the San Francisco Giants after the club declined the team option on his $10 million contract for 2013. Huff, 35, was limited by injuries this season and hit .192 with one home run and seven RBI in 52 games. He went 1 for 9 in the Giants' postseason run to the World Series championship. Huff had signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the option for 2013 after the Giants won the World Series in 2010, but his production has fallen and Brandon Belt has taken over the first-base job.

No centerstand sux... portable swingarm stand doesn't help.
Gonna build a stand that bolts into peg mounts.
Yeah, I do miss the convenience of a proper centerstand too. I've just hung the front or rear from two long ratchet straps attached in a vee spread up to some rafters. I break the axle loose first before the hoist as the bike moves a bit or just air ratchet what ever needs removing.
For winter work, I've got fork seals, RT valves, and springs on the list to do by spring. A swing arm bearing check and lube sounds good too. The fuel tank can use some attention as well. The tank has some surface rust spots inside and I'd like to Por-15 line it for the long haul. Also, the fuel cap just started leaking at the end of last season if I fill it and then put the bike on the side stand. Not sure about the quality of the knock off caps on eBay from China, but there's not much else coming up for replacements.

You might also consider using the chassis from one of the versions of the Ford L-series trucks from AMT/Ertl. Depending on what you are building, you could use the dump/tractor kit or the box van kit which jas a longer wheelbase chassis.
Posted 18 August 2013 - 03:26 PM
If a medium duty is the goal, then try the Italeri Opel Blitz kit in 1/24.
Posted 18 August 2013 - 04:07 PM
What is going to be the final goal with the build? Replica stock? Custom? For a stock build, the Ford frame would be the closest to get a basic start. It should be noted, this cab will not build a factory 5700, there were no factory crew cabs from GM until the early '70s. It could be an aftermarket conversion, though.
To help with the dimensions, here's a few links that will help you out.
Here's the basic layout of the '55-'59 LCF chassis
More frame dimension info
One more thing, if you're going stock, all '55-'59 LCF trucks were equipped with V8 engines. The 2bbl smallblock would be the correct engine, the one from the AMT '55 or '57 pickups will fit the bill perfectly, but the trans will need to be changed.
Posted 18 August 2013 - 04:18 PM
Here's a pic showing what the frame looks like for the LCF (It's the one on the bottom of the page)
Posted 19 August 2013 - 02:25 PM
Posted 19 August 2013 - 03:28 PM
Ok. In that case, the Ford L would be the best bet for a starting point. The Italeri Blitz really would not be correct for that new of a truck, they are a closer match, with much alteration, to a '41-'47 1 1/2 to 2 ton truck.
Posted 19 August 2013 - 03:32 PM
Posted 19 August 2013 - 03:36 PM
Posted 19 August 2013 - 03:42 PM
No problem. Old Chevy and GMC trucks, especially the '55-'59 models, are my favorite vehicles. I even have one, a '55 3200, as my daily driver.
One more site you may want to check out, Stovebolt.coms Gallery. http://www.stovebolt...lery 56 59.html There's several LCF trucks in there, some restored, some not. Might help give you a good ideas on weathering your build, especially where those trucks tend to rust.

The Titan should work fine, but the LCF was not available as a Tandem axle from the factory. There were aftermakret conversions for them, most using a "dead" rear axle, meaning that only the forward rear axle drove, and the rearward axle was basically there to support the weight. Not sure what suspension is under the Titan kit, but a Hendrixson walking beam, which is found under most AMT semi truck kits, would be most accurate.
Posted 20 August 2013 - 04:45 PM

Posted 23 August 2013 - 06:42 AM
No sense in worrying about how the factory did it with the cab you want to use.A ford chassis has huge beams,taller than a titan,but would give you the compact cat 3208.I think go with the titan,for the suspension,the best spoke wheels in kits,and the 8 cut down to a V6 should fit under the hood.
The titan comes with spare parts that you could get some interesting building choices,it's custom so any thing goes.
I'm with Richard about using a 2 ton opal for a chassis closer to stock .
Posted 23 August 2013 - 02:01 PM
I'm with Richard about using a 2 ton opal for a chassis closer to stock .
The Opel Blitz chassis would be no where close to stock for that truck. About the only part that might work for a stock build would maybe be the rear axle and springs, the rest is incorrect for a US spec GM truck after 1946. Even for the earlier trucks, much would need to be changed to make it correct.

Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg has interim tag removed
Sep 22, 2013, 11:21 AM EDT
From CSNPhilly.com beat reporter Jim Salisbury:
Multiple baseball sources have told CSNPhilly.com Phillies Insider Jim Salisbury that the Phillies will remove the "interim" label from Ryne Sandberg's job title on Sunday and name the Hall of Fame second baseman the club's full-time manager.
Since replacing Charlie Manuel on Aug. 16, Sandberg has managed the Phillies to an 18-16 record.
This move was expected the moment Sandberg was named as Manuel's replacement. It was only a matter of when the Phillies would officially make the announcement.
Sandberg was formally reintroduced at a press conference Sunday morning at Citizens Bank Park.
"Ryno is positive," Phillies second baseman Chase Utley said of his new manager last Wednesday. "He's always talking during the game. He's definitely into the game, and guys respect him for that. He's given a lot of guys an opportunity to play, which is nice. So far he's done a great job."
UPDATE, 11:34 a.m. ET: Salisbury says that Sandberg got a three-year deal with an option for 2017.
- peddealer - Sep 22, 2013 at 11:34 AM
Ryno is a douche and will not be a manager at the end of next season!
Especially if he hires Larry Bowa
Hey Philly

So honestly, Keep up the good work of thinking you are checking the Philly haters,
But because of the disgusting, trashy people of Philly and the surrounding area, there will always be plenty more of bums like me coming onto the internet, to let you bums know that you all suck balls…

Shows the influence of Dallas Green, which might not have been such in the past few years. Sandberg's a DG guy. Bowa, expected to be a coach (and which will be very warmly received in Philadelphia) is as well. Likely they retain Juan Samuel. Everyone else on the coaching staff may well go. Hitting coaches especially, but Dubee, the pitching coach, is something of a lightening rod for some, though some of their high profile pitchers have supported him.
A guess is that as many competent folks with direct Phillies ties would be candidates to Sandberg's coaching staff, as the Phillies are known for being paranoid about projecting a "family" image abd like to retain (maybe too long, sometimes) folks with organizational ties.
Jamie Moyer as a coach would be intriguing, for instance.
- thesmedman - Sep 23, 2013 at 12:02 AM
This was also done to prevent the Cubs from interviewing Sandberg as rumours swirl about Sveum. But you have to wonder about the timing, doing this on a Sunday when the NFL dominates sports headlines. From Manuel's firing to this, one might wonder, quite correctly, about the Phillies PR operation…

If 200 ISO Kodak from the lab means you ran a roll of 200 color neg film through the camera that's a useless "test." Color neg has tremendous latitude especially for overexposure. You can overexposed the stuff four stops and still get great prints.
I've no suggestions about the streaking though. That does normally indicate over agitation but I've no idea why some would be fine then start showing problems with the same materials and methods.

Out there is a different world
"I Loved it...I Loved it All" An eight minute film essay that Ned Judge co-produced and directed with Edward Abbey in 1985. At the time Judge was working for a network magazine show. The executive producer took him to lunch one day. He told him that he was having trouble with his son who was 18. The son thought his dad was a corporate whore. He had told his father if he had any balls at all he'd put Edward Abbey on his show. That's why the EP was talking to him. Would Judge see if it was possible? Judge had an acquaintance who knew Ed and he passed the request along. Ed responded that he'd give it a try. He signed the contract and wrote a script. Judge and Abbey met in Moab and went out to Arches National Park to shoot some practice sessions with a home video camera. They would review them at the motel in the evening. After a day or two, Ed was feeling pretty comfortable on camera so they scheduled the shoot. They were all happy with the way it went. But then they ran head-on into network reality. Roger Mudd, the show's host, was extremely negative about putting an "eco-terrorist" on the show. The executive producer caved (his son was right about him apparently). So this Abbey essay was put on the shelf and never aired. Abbey died 3 years later in March 1989. [more inside]

Nairobi — When police Constable Francis Murage and Samuel Cheptok died in an explosion at Pangani, the country lost two gallant officers, Starehe OCPD Barasa Wabomba has told Capital FM News.
For Wabomba, he has lost two officers who he knew very well as diligent and focused in ensuring the country was safe from criminals.
"The one that I knew first was Murage in 1983 on December 16 in the General Service Unit, F Company. He was the one who welcomed me there and even advised me on how to survive there as a newly posted officer," he recalled.
"We worked together from 1983 to 1989 when we parted ways."
Ironically, Wabomba was later posted in Starehe, as Pangani Police Station boss where Murage was working and again received him but now as his junior.
"We did not meet again until I was posted in this division and he was the one he received me in their patrol car. He was even the one who took my belongings to my house," he said.
Cheptok was Barasa's personal driver in the station and he says, "He was obedient and a silent worker who obeyed every command."
President Uhuru Kenyatta also mourned the officers on Thursday, during a pass-out parade of General Service Unit officers.
Wabomba however said despite the act, police will not relent in the war against crime.
"We shall fight crime until all Kenyans are safe... we will not relent," he said.
The two policemen were among four people killed after a suspicious car that they had intercepted exploded as it was being taken to the station.
President Kenyatta has assured the country of his Government commitment to ensure there was security in the entire country.
"We are committed to the fight against crime whatever form it may take ranging from terrorism to cattle rustling and we will not relent in the ongoing fight against terror and other forms of crime in the country.
"My Government will commit more resources to provide security officers with modern equipment and tools to enable them effectively execute their duties. I expect the police to obey the law as they enforce the law and treat Kenyans with dignity to win their confidence," he affirmed on Thursday.
Among the measures taken is the ongoing police operation dubbed Usalama Watch which has seen police arrest suspected terrorist and even recovering explosives materials.
Over 200 aliens have also been deported and the Government has vowed to continue with the operation, until security in the country is under control.

Digidesign showcases Pro Tools updates
updated 06:40 pm EDT, Mon April 24, 2006
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software
Digidesign today announced it would make several new announcements at NAB 2006. The company will showcase the forthcoming Pro Tools HD 7.2 software upgrade, which includes enhanced mixing and automation capabilities as well as improved post workflows. Digidesign will also present a technology preview of Avid HD picture support in Pro Tools|HD; display the new Surround Panner Option by JL Cooper Electronics for ICON D-Command and Pro Tools|HD systems; and more.

Pro Tools HD 7.2 Software
One of the most significant software upgrades for ICON and Pro Tools|HD systems to date, Pro Tools HD 7.2 software introduces several new features and enhancements designed to give audio post professionals more speed, power, and flexibility.

Streamlined Avid-to-Pro Tools Workflows

The update will bring the ability to import both a mixed-down video sequence and the cut information (Pro Tools HD software) as well as updated "Send to Pro Tools" templates simplify AAF sequence exports (Avid systems).
Users will also be able to send an audio mixdown from an Avid editor along with all other audio tracks (Avid systems) and consolidate media to any local or network storage location (Avid systems). It will also support the use o the integrated "Send via DigiDelivery" command, which automatically includes all relevant media files with the sequences (Avid systems).
Avid HD Picture Coming to Pro Tools|HD
A new solution from Digidesign will allow ICON and Pro Tools|HD system users to work with Avid HD picture without needing to render effects or perform time-consuming AAF sequence exports. Utilizing two separate workstations with bi-directional control, Pro Tools editors will be able to quickly open and play Avid sequences, including DNxHD video, while still enjoying full audio performance. The solution will offer:
- Synchronized playback of Avid sequences and Pro Tools sessions on separate workstations
- Support for Avid HD resolutions, including DNxHD
- No need for effects rendering or AAF video exports
- Complete control from either workstation
- Full Pro Tools audio performance
- Comprehensive level and phase metering up to 7.1 surround

Quadruped robot kinematics
- Login or register to post comments

- Collected by 2 users
July 26, 2011
I made quadruped robot and stuck with kinematics part, problems with center of gravity (Atmega16, 12 servo - current accuracy 5 degrees). I can't get it nicely walking, maybe someone can offer any tutorials for it or ideas?
Put a gyro on it. Now you
Put a gyro on it. Now you can constrain your body to always be parallel with the Earth (by sampling the gyro). Now simply move your legs in a repeat pattern to walk. This pattern can be generated using 3-D trig in a similar way as in the link ignoblegnome posted. Now when you get it walking ok on a straight surface you can start thinking of algorithms to deal with obstacles/non-level ground. The way to do this would be to add sensors on your feet that detect when they hit the ground. Again constrain the robot to always keep the body parallel with the Earth (using the gyro) and have the legs move until they feel that they have touched something.

Remember Me
In this 15 part podcast, Patti Smith hosts music and conversation about Bob Dylan. His friends, early influences and collaborators discuss their close relationships with Dylan, the stories behind his greatest songs and other memorable moments of his career. Journalists and biographers add critical insights and provide historical contexts. A few of today's singer-songwriters also detail how Dylan's art influenced their own lives and careers. We also hear comments from Dylan, himself, from interviews recorded throughout the last 45 years.
There are three different ways you can get to the series. Through the Legacy Recordings page, through iTunes, or a direct xml feed.

Cool, Dylan is the man. anyone who doesn't think desolation row is one of the greatest and most effortlessly amazing lyrical works in a long ass time is a fool to me. it's like musical dali, every word fits, there's nothing wasted or excessive, it's perfect.

54 year old man | Tooele, UT, USA | Seeking women 40-55 within 100 miles
Looking to open a new chapter in life
I'll be honest right off and say I'm currently in the process of separating from a live in situation. Emotionally and sexually, it has been over for about a year or a bit longer and at least I'm upfront about it. I am NOT cheating. We both agree that a split after the holidays is best, while we sort out a few things. I didn't plan on being on match at this age. So having said that I'm looking for an open minded, understanding and fun woman to start another and happier chapter in my life. I am pet and kid friendly, as long as you like cats. I like movies, dining out and family activities together. I'm not afraid to commit to someone and ask only the same from you. I have 2 daughters, one living with me and one who visits on weekends and holidays but consider myself a full time dad in all respects. Hard working and pay my bills. Not bad looking, but working outdoors all the time keeps me a bit rugged. Can still look nice when washed up..Lol. I'll be a man for you, but I still like finding my inner child at times. If this makes me too immature for you then please move on. Looking for an employed, loving woman that knows a relationship requires team work and understands what "togetherness" means. I prefer busty ladies, and would like you to still be sexual and enjoy intimacy both in and out of the bedroom. You like to cuddle and stay at home in front of a fire or can dress up a bit and go out and are comfortable doing both. Not afraid to say how you feel, or hear it from me. Drama free and able to laugh at me or with me. We all have baggage at this age, as long as you keep it in the closet. A coffee (or Tea) lover would be nice, as I can be a cold starter in the mornings before Java. You like to be held and kissed and don't mind sharing the shower and being washed under the hot water. Your understanding enough to only ask for what I can give (which will be a lot when I'm committed). You like comedies, action and adventure movies and can remember the classics. I'm ok watching a chick flick with you. I like music (oldies, alternative and "catchy") and you're ok if I sing along (a bit off key sometimes) or we can make it a duet! I want it understood that I'm not looking for anything "on the side", but genuinely want to start anew with someone that understands what being a couple means. I like holding hands in public and good conversations. I've been around some in life and had my share of knocks. I'm not really a beer or wine fan but that doesn't make me uncultured. I do like sipping a green apple or watermelon wine cooler from time to time. I can be bluntly honest and don't play word games so be prepared for that if you ask an opinion. I don't have a gym membership as my work is hard enough, and I devote my free time to family and my girls. You and yours would receive the same devotion if you give us the chance. I don't do the bar or club scene, and prefer a quiet drink with that special person while we talk and laugh about any old thing. We can slow dance just as good at home. I have a high school education, but I'm "street smart" and you might just be surprised at the range of topics I can carry a conversation in. I guess I'm kind of a diamond in the rough. Keep in mind that many a good book is bound in worn covers and it's in the reading that the real discovery is made. I'm also open to the idea of marriage. If you look more within instead of without you might be amazed at what you can see in me. I saw some of the world in the military but I haven't had a real vacation in decades, and would love to do that with someone. The simple things in life pleasure me the most and if you're still with me this far, you just may be the one. Drop me a line and let's find out together!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Other types of exercise, Swimming
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats
I have a Siamese named Missy, a British Shorthair named Taffy and a longhair black cat I call Sasqautch because of his huge feet and intense eyes.
Some other viewpoint

The Obama administration will seek to cut greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants 30% from 2005 levels by 2030, potentially one of the biggest steps any country has taken to confront climate change, people familiar with the plan said Sunday.
Seen as the linchpin of President Obama's climate campaign and a key part of his domestic policy legacy, the proposed power plant rule would set state-specific targets for carbon dioxide reductions and let local officials decide how best to meet the goals.
The proposal by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is intended to limit air pollution by carbon dioxide, a gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and drives global warming.
The complex rule, which will be officially announced Monday, faces a yearlong comment and review period. It is certain to spark a high-stakes legal and political battle that will echo through the November midterm election and beyond.
Opponents — including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the mining industry and congressional Republicans and Democrats from coal-producing states — have already lined up against it. Critics labeled it government overreach that would do little to reduce climate change while costing tens of billions of dollars and thousands of jobs.
"Now the president is once again looking to do through regulation what he couldn't accomplish through legislation. But myself and others are sounding the real alarm of how the president's plan will be dangerous for our economy and future job opportunities," said Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), citing a U.S. Chamber of Commerce report that estimated the rule could cost the economy $50 billion annually.
But environmental groups and other administration allies applauded the proposal as crucial to efforts to cut the single greatest source of greenhouse gases. Power plants account for an estimated 40% of all carbon dioxide emissions in the country.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), who took part in a conference call with Obama and other key officials late Sunday, praised the plan because it gives states and regions flexibility to meet the emission targets.
"This allows economies to adjust and transform over time in a very aggressive way but a very realistic way," said Schatz, who has made climate change a signature issue since he joined the Senate in 2012.
"This is becoming a consensus, rational position for people of all parties across the country," Schatz said. "Republicans are on the wrong side of history here. That's going to become clear not just over the long run but over the next couple of elections."
The rule would allow states to offset their carbon emissions by developing other parts of the power grid, including greater energy efficiency or increased use of renewable energy, such as wind and solar.
"The reality of it is that we will have to build and invest in renewables," said Lisa Bonnett, director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
The 30% cut will be based on 2005 emission levels, which were 10% higher than in 2012. The decline stems from the recent boom in cleaner-burning natural gas, which has displaced a great deal of coal as a fuel source.
In addition, different states would have different targets, based on their fuel mix.
States that burn a lot of coal would begin their reductions from a higher emissions level than those that burn natural gas, which emits less carbon dioxide.
Because the rule has not been officially issued, the 30% reduction could be one of several options the EPA presents for public comment, environmentalists said.
Obama telephoned a group of Senate and House Democrats to thank them for their support in advance of Monday's announcement by Gina McCarthy, head of the EPA.
If enacted, the rule would make good on a pledge Obama made last year to tackle climate change through his executive authority in the face of congressional inaction on the issue.
Domestic opponents of unilateral U.S. action argue that climate change is a global problem that requires emissions cuts from all major polluters, especially newly industrializing giants China, India and Brazil.
The rule's backers say a strong curb on greenhouse gas emissions could give U.S. negotiators more leverage at the next major United Nations meeting to address climate change, scheduled for 2015 in Paris.

Experts say you deserve praise for being willing to withstand ridicule and even let bad guys win in court to prevent attacks. "If you ask me what law enforcement has done best since 9/11 is that they are stopping these plots in the beginning stages before they go operational," says E.J. Kimball, managing director of terrorism expert Steven Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism.
Salt Lake City PD created the Methamphetamine Initiative, which brings together more than 30 public and private agencies to address drug rehab and meth-related property crimes, enhanced prosecution, environmental hazards and, of course, child endangerment issues.
Clearly, the city needed to pay more attention to recreation on and around the river. In response, over the span of several years, Boise PD added four more full-time bike officers as well as eight school resource officers.
School resource officers serve as important liaisons between police departments and local schools.
If federal agencies have problems cooperating and sharing information, how can local law enforcement work with them? The answers are certainly not simple, and may depend on just who is doing the answering.
L.A. County's Terrorism Early Warning group was the brainchild of two L.A. Sheriff's Department officers who saw a threat in the rhetoric of a then little-known Islamist radical named Bin Laden. It was August 1996 and Osama had just issued his first fatwa, urging his followers to conduct global terrorist attacks against the United States and its citizens.
Improved cooperation between Marshals and local cops is the goal of a new federal initiative that was established after 9/11.
The Center's mission is to provide no-cost counterdrug training and education to law enforcement and drug demand reduction specialists across the 18 northeastern United States spanning Maine to Virginia and west to Wisconsin.
By most accounts, the great Northeast blackout of 2003 turned out to be a successful training exercise in post-9/11 emergency procedures for local police departments.
Last fall, the map of Southern California looked like that map of Nevada that goes up in flames at the start of old "Bonanza" TV reruns. On the front lines with county firefighters, law enforcement officials—particularly county sheriff's department personnel—played a key role in protecting citizens threatened by the inferno.
When an agency evaluates the concept of creating an air support unit, there is always someone at the tip of the spear.
They may seem like big, expensive hunks of metal on wheels, but many agencies have come to realize that mobile command vehicles offer many advantages for the cost.
Founding a police department is a challenge that not many people would want to assume. But that's the task that faced the civic leaders of Federal Way, Washington.
Somewhere between the images, the perceptions, and accusations lies a truth: If ever an entity embodied the philosophy of "hope for the best, but plan for the worst," it is the SWAT unit.
Violent, pre-fight media melees, profane press conferences, and the illegal out-of-the-ring antics of superstars seem to be the only way to get the sports fan's attention these days.
Most cities and counties have increased police and fire funding since 9-11, but in many cases, budget bumps can barely meet newly established needs.
Then you see them, casualties. Many of them, grotesquely motionless, obscured by the low hanging mist.
Thirty-seven. That's how many New York/New Jersey Port Authority Police officers came to work on Sept. 11, 2001, and never went home. More than 2 percent of the agency's complement of 1,400 was killed in the attack, and to add insult to extreme injury, its headquarters were on the 67th floor of 1 World Trade Center.
Combined Agencies for Narcotics Enforcement (CANE) was started in September 1987 as a vehicle to target mid- and upper-level narcotics dealers working in and around Montgomery County, Ohio.
When a terrorist attack really happens, these men need to know how to work together, or people will get killed. This is not a game.

A lot has been going on over where that lovely boat ride, El Rio Del Tiempo, used to be. Now it's becoming the "Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros," Gran Fiesta Tour, or GFT for short.
Now, this rehab includes some minor enhancements to the entire Mexico pavilion. Since it was opened in 1982, pre-ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), a lot of the queue as well as building is being re-designed for Guests with Wheelchairs.
Back in 1982, things were designed a little differently, and there is a little story that goes with this. So sit tight, and keep reading, we'll get to the good stuff in a minute.
Now, I'm sure you all know that the Mexico Pavilion was designed entirely by WDI, Mexico was not an official sponsor of the pavilion at opening. (It was only very recently that the Mexico Tourism Board opened an exhibit inside.) So, when WDI designed the place, they had the idea of you having to "discover" this giant vine-covered Aztec Pyramid... in the middle of a dense rainforest jungle.
Now, that's a fantastic idea, but you can't really "discover" a country in World Showcase, it has to stand out around the lagoon, that way you'll go inside. So the vines were taken off the concept for the actual pyramid to make it more visible, and the pathway leading up to the fron through the rainforest was removed from the concept, way before construction ever began. But WDI wanted that pathway, they really felt "discovering" this pyramid in the middle of the jungle was really unique.
So an answer? Well, pyramids have steps, right? So how do guests in wheelchairs get in? Well, a ramp just HAD to be included in the construction. And a budget for a ramp off to the side was added to the project... and that's just what Imagineers wanted.
They took the concept of a ramp, and placed a dense jungle of plants around the ramp, complete with live parrots, and dense fog. Thus allowing you to still "discover" the pyramid. Though to my knowledge, the fog no longer works on the outside, and the fog dissipates in the summer too quickly anyway.
So, If you remember that pathway leading up to the pyramid on the outside, well, it's being changed a tad. New railings that are ADA comlpiant are being installed. I'm sure you're well aware now that the parrots are over in Animal Kingdom. But it's still a neat pathway to take... so next time you go to Epcot, take it, and think to yourself, "Yeah, this is what the Imagineers wanted us to do!" I hope they take the time to fix the fog too!
Inside, the main changes are in the queue at the attraction. Well, I mean, the attraction is different too, but the queue is all I'm talking about. All I'm allowed to talk about. Let's just pretend I don't know about the new finale of the attraction, and we'll continue...
The queue has been re-designed, making it ADA compliant. So in short, everyone goes through the entrance now, so if you use a wheelchair, no more going in through the exit ramp, having to fight the people exiting anymore!
The queue's design is fairly different, and, in the limited space in the queue, an attempt will be made to re-acquaint you with the three main stars of the movie, as well as the attraction. Jose, Donald, and Panchito! Their faces, as well as their names, will be painted on the walls as you enter. To enhance the "fiesta" tone of the attraction, banners and flags are hung everywhere, and makes for a much more festive entrance. When you go to board the boats, you'll notice that air gates have been installed.
And then you're off on your boat ride, with a new safety spiel (of course) done by one of the characters of the attraction. I've heard Donald in English, Panchito in Spanish, but somehow I question if that's true, simply because I can't understand Donald half the time anyway. My bet is on Jose to actually end up delivering the spiel, but we shall see!
Okay, that was probably the longest and most typed out, history-infused update you've read for a long time. So, go have fun.
Oh, one more thing. naumoney posted some lovely photos of the new attraction sign with the logo still covered by a see-through tarp, so take a look here: http://www.micechat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58012

There is nothing pore minimizing about this toner for any skin type. The witch hazel contains alcohol and that is a problem for all skin types. Alcohol may temporarily (and we mean really temporarily) degrease skin, but in the long run it causes more problems than it helps. There are better ways to do this than use an ingredient that causes skin-damaging irritation. Even without the witch hazel, this toner contains other equally potent irritants, including cinnamon, camphor, and menthol. All of these, along with the alcohol, can stimulate oil production at the base of your pores, meaning that regular use of this toner will actually put your pores at risk for looking larger.
Cleanse, balance, and refresh your skin with this oil-reducing, alcohol-free toner that also helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. It's formulated with an effective combination of Allantoin, Honey and Glycolic Acid, which provide moisturizing, soothing and softening benefits. Vitamins A & E, Camphor and Menthol help minimize oil production and work to fight the formation of blemishes. For all skin types.
Water, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Capryloyl Glycine, Sarcosine, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract, Honey Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Glycolic Acid, Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Camphor, Menthol, Tween 20, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Copper PCA
Black Opal At-A-Glance
Strengths: Affordable; some gentle cleansers; one excellent lightening product; mostly very good powders; deeply pigmented lipsticks; good mascara, though there's only one.
Weaknesses: Almost too many to list! Major issues include pervasive use of irritating ingredients with no benefit for skin and sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA protection; average to poor foundation and concealer textures/finishes; poor eyeshadows and lip gloss.
If Black Opal believes their skin-care products are "what looking beautiful is all about," then this is not a line to be trusted. Creating cosmetics that cater to the needs of African-American women doesn't have to involve a profusion of seriously irritating or, in the case of the sunscreens, seriously incomplete, products. In fact, aside from the name and the somewhat minimal use of African botanicals, nothing about these products is unique to the needs of African-American skin tones. Moreover, no matter what your skin color may be, the basic and enhanced needs of skin remain the same: a gentle cleanser, effective exfoliant, sunscreen, and where and if needed, a moisturizer, all in stable packaging so the products can be effectively loaded with antioxidants and ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin.
African-American skin tones are not without their unique problems, which mostly have to do with pigmentation. But other skin tones, whether related to people of Asian, Latin-American, Caucasian, or other descent, also have to deal with pigmentation problems and uneven skin tones. Even supposing that African-American skin tones do have distinctive needs not shared by any other skin tone, Black Opal isn't the answer, especially considering that the research agrees that is not the case for day-to-day cosmetic care (Sources: Cutis, December 2006, pages 2–19 Supplemental; and Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, June 2003, pages 139–142 Supplemental). In fact, this line has so many problematic or shortsighted products they raise more questions than they have answers for!
Surprisingly, Black Opal was developed with the consultation of the African-American dermatologist Dr. Cheryl Burgess. Either the formulators behind this line didn't heed her advice or Dr. Burgess isn't informed about how cosmetic ingredients, particularly irritating ones, work on skin, not to mention the need for reliable UVA protection—fundamental information every dermatologist should not only be preaching but also practicing themselves.

Black Opal Makeup
Black Opal's makeup has seen its prominence dwindle in comparison to other, seemingly lesser-known makeup lines catering to African-American skin tones. The fact that Beyoncé Knowles is a spokeswoman for L'Oreal, Halle Berry represents Revlon, and Queen Latifah appears in ads for Cover Girl, probably has something to do with the smaller market share for this once respectable line. Celebrities selling products is big business, and there is no doubt the aforementioned women are admired by women of all ethnicities. Although the major players' ads have increased awareness of these lines for African-American women, Black Opal has continued to offer the same basic assortment of products reviewed in a previous edition of Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me. Almost without exception, their newer items are disappointing, particularly for eyeshadows, pencils, and lip gloss (really).
The one area where Black Opal makes the grade is with its foundations and powders. The foundations offer some authentic shades suitable for women of color, though the formulas tend to be lackluster or, at the very least, not as elegant as what competing lines offer. There's still reason to seek out and shop this line, but based on an overview of the current Black Opal lineup, we think Beyoncé, Halle, and Queen Latifah made smart decisions!

And after that when, driving in the middle of the night and in a snowstorm, he swerves to avoid a sudden figure in the road.
When snowstorm Nemo hit New York Fashion Week, Uggs were spotted on the feet of fashion trendsetters.
Gillespie described the view as "like driving along a mountain hillside in winter, in a snowstorm, at night."

If you are even thinking about riding in high dust or sandy conditions these are a must. Not only do they keep your filter clean, but you don't have to remove your filter and risk getting anything in the intake at the same time. Kind of a pain to put on with the filter in the bike, but worth it.Read All Reviews

I ordered this because I worried about the seal on my K&N air filter, now I sleep better at night. Expected it to be thicker, I installed it and the filter sealed as I had wanted. I'm using it in conjunction with the PC Racing filter skins, very happy with the results.Read All Reviews

If you are going to be in a very dusty area and not able to service the filter for an extended period of time they could be useful but trying to install them in a crf air box is frustrating.Read All Reviews

I have used the underware gloves for about 10 years and they do help prevent blisters on your hands. During a 2 hour harescramble it is difficult not to get some hand pain but this does help relieve some of the pain. You may prefer a size larger riding glove.Read All Reviews

PS. This is my first Android Device!!!!
If you are using CWM recovery from Rom Manager (not recommended for Xoom) it does only read your internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???). So you need to flash a different custom recovery using adb/fastboot to flash a recovery.image file or, if you can flash through cwm (from internal sdcard) a recovery.zip file (either EOS or Rogue, depending on the ROM you will flash afterwards), Actually, any custom recovery is supposed to work for any rom, but in reality Eos works best for Eos and Rogue works best for the CM9 Kang.
Please, just remember, never flash a .zip file through fastboot, only an .image file!

website code error
I'm new here. I'm extremely excited to see so many great and talented artists with their work.
I'm not sure if this was already brought up or discussed, but whenever i clicked on the thumbnail on the homepage I get the following errors.
Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/concept/public_html/index.php on line 261 Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/concept/public_html/index.php on line 296
The same mysql error also appeared when clicking the thumbnail on the gallery page.

Federal Judge Blocks Furloughs For 100,000 State Workers

Once again, the state has no budget. The problem? There's nobody to be afraid of. New York is not a place that operates on rational debate or planning. Power comes from two things: money and fear. Right now we don't have either.
