The structure, which has been erected on the Corrieyairack Pass, is the electrical tower with the highest elevation in the UK, according to energy company SSE.
The pylon is part of the Beauly to Denny line, which will carry renewable energy generated in the Highlands to central Scotland.
The controversial project was given the go-ahead by Scottish Government ministers in January 2010, despite strong objections from countryside campaigners.
Construction of the bulk of the power line is being carried out by SSE, with ScottishPower building a 12-mile stretch from Denny northwards.

Marijuana is a mind-altering drug and is considered a hallucinogen if used in large amounts.
Marijuana makes it hard to keep track of time and concentrate. Users have difficulty with memory and find it hard to solve problems and learn.
Marijuana raises heart rate and blood pressure. Some people get red eyes or dry mouths or become sleepy or very hungry. The drug can also make some people paranoid (like someone is out to hurt them or is plotting against them). It can also sometimes cause hallucinations.
Marijuana is as tough on the lungs as cigarettes — steady users suffer coughs, wheezing, frequent colds, and respiratory (airway and lung) infections, like bronchitis.
Sometimes blunts are filled with drugs like PCP (also called angel dust) or crack cocaine in addition to marijuana and can be very dangerous when smoked.

At the height of the Seven Years' War, Great Britain made an audacious strike at the heart of Spanish colonial power in the Caribbean. Gathering troops from bases in Britain and Canada and sailing across the Atlantic in secrecy was an incredible feat. The raid on Havana took Spanish colonial forces completely by surprise and following vicious fighting, the city defences at El Moro collapsed. Havana, the jewel in the Spanish colonial crown, now belonged to Britain. The success of the raid influenced British military policy for centuries as the true potential of amphibious warfare was realized. Author David Greentree tracks every aspect of the raid from its origins to the seige and assault of El Morro. Each section is accompanied by full color illustrations from Donato Spedaliere and Giuseppe Rava along with maps, photographs, and period artwork.

The walk can be a killer. The hills are steep and you get sweaty. There are stinging nettles and thick brush to scramble through. Then you see them. Big black blobs in the distance.
As we walked closer I looked at a fellow gorilla trekker next to me and she was welling up, it was an emotional moment I was not prepared for. Squatting down I could feel something moving to my left. Before I knew it an adult female was slowly loping towards me, I lowered my head and waited. Then in an unforgettable moment, she brushed past me. I had goose bumps as her fur touched my bare arms. I looked up and the whole gorilla-trekker group was looking at me in amazement. I was gobsmacked.
There were so many things to look at. Directly in front, two teenagers chased each other around and around a tree stump. To the right of them the silverback rolled over onto his back and let his baby crawl all over him. We spent one hour with this family, watching their every move and sometimes feeling as though they were watching ours.
Everyone in the group found it hard to decide whether they should spend their time taking photos or just be in that moment. You want to capture each move but you also need to just take it all in. No fence exists between you and there are no lines of tourists snapping away on their cameras. It's just you and your gorilla family for one hour.

West Michigan to host 2014 MWL All-Star Game
Next season, Fifth Third Ballpark, home to the West Michigan Whitecaps, will be hosting the Midwest League All-Star Game. The announcement was actually made during the seventh inning stretch at last Saturday night's game that we attended. Next season's classic will also be the 50th All-Star Game for the MWL, and will take place on Tuesday, June 17. This will be the third time West Michigan has hosted the event, with the first time being in 1995, and again in 2003.
"This is a bid deal for us", Whitecaps President Scott Lane stated to MLive.com. "Not only are we hosting the Midwest League's premier event, but we're hosting it in it's 50th year. We intend to put on a grand show for the fans, executives and players of the 16 teams in the league. We will showcase not only Fifth Third Ballpark during the two-day event, but West Michigan as well."
All I can say, is that I have to make this game. I'll be waiting to jump on some tickets when they go on sale for sure. Attending an All-Star Game is definitely on my baseball bucket list, and where better than at my home-team Whitecaps!

Loons and Whitecaps split home and home series
Midland, MI-July 2-3: The first two game of the series were played at Dow Diamond. In game one, 'Cap second baseman Harold Castro's ninth inning home run broke West Michigan's losing streak with a 4-3 win. He was 2-4 in the game, while Zach Kirksey was 2-3. For the Loons, Aaron Miller hit a home run of his own in the sixth inning, to tie the game at three. He was 2-4 on the night, also, while third baseman Leo Rodriguez went 3-4. On the mound, Angel Nesbitt earned the win to improve to 3-1, while Corey Knebel got the save. Arismendy Ozoria took the loss for the Loons. Great Lakes would take conrol the next night, however, pounding the Whitecaps 8-0. Shortstop Corey Seager went 2-3 with four RBI's to lead the Loons offensively. Rodriguez and Miller each went 2-4, also. The Whitecaps only managed four hits during the game, with 16-yr-old Julio Urias getting the win. He pitched six shut-out innings while striking out eight. Endrys Briceno took the loss for the 'Caps, giving up four earned runs in three innings of work.
Comstock Park, MI-July 4-5: Both teams would re-unite at Fifth-Third Ballpark on Independence Day! The Whitecaps continued their defensive woes, however, and fell to the Loons 7-5. They committed two errors and one miscue that led to two Loons' runs. Three of the Loons runs were unearned in the game. Left-fielder Robbie Garvey had a nice game for Great Lakes, though, going 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. For the Whitecaps, Jason King went 2-2, with two runs scored, and RBI, and two walks. On the mound for West Michigan, Chad Smith started the game, but Yorfrand Lopez took the loss, giving up three runs in just over three innings. Geoff Brown earned the win for the Loons, pitching five innings giving up one earned run and striking out five. In the final game of the series, the Loons would take a 2-0 lead early, but watched the 'Caps roll off seven in a row. Zach Kirskey lead the offensive charge for the 'Caps, going 1-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI's. Helping out was Danry Vasquez, going 2-3 with a double and two RBI's, and Jason King who went 2-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI. Malcolm Holland delivered a solid game for Great Lakes, going 2-3 with an RBI and two walks. For the 'Caps, Charlie Gillies won his first game of the season in the 7-2 win. Arismendy Ozoria took the loss, giving up six runs in two innings. It was a good series for both teams, especially West Michigan, who has been struggling as of late. The Loons are in first place of the Midwest League East.

Star Wars Night-Episode IV: A Hope for no Rain
West Michigan Whitecaps vs. Bowling Green Hot Rods (Midwest League)
Fifth-Third Ballpark–Comstock Park, MI: It's that time of year again, when myself and the little nerf-hearders head down to Star Wars Night. This year, we were back at the Fifth-Third Ballpark, with the Whitecaps as our host. Despite the weather report calling for rain, it all held off and it was a beautiful night. The kids were able to meet all of their favorite Star Wars characters, and some of the guys in the suits were pretty darn funny. They kept the sold out crowd entertained until the game started, and were more than happy to pose for pictures for the kids. This was one of the best Star Wars nights we've been too so far. We tried for some Whitecaps autographs, but got very few as the players didn't walk by the fans due to the Star Wars guys.
As for the game itself, it was another dismal one for the Whitecaps. They've had a tough time offensively ever since Devon Travis was promoted. DH Lance Durham did go 2-4 on the day, however, but short stop David Gonzalez was the only one able to strum up an RBI. Chad Smith took the loss on the hill for West Michigan, giving up only two earned runs, though, and striking out three. Corey Knebel came in for the ninth inning, and stayed perfect so far since joining the 'Caps. Final score: Whitecaps 1, Hot Rods 3.

2013 Baseball Trip-Game 11: The home field advantage
West Michigan Whitecaps vs. Bowling Green Hot Rods (Midwest League)
Fifth-Third Ballpark–Comstock Park, MI: As much as I loved my time in North Carolina, it was good to be back in Michigan, and have the home field advantage. It felt comfortable to be back in my own ballpark, and to see the Whitecaps play for the first time this season. After riding in airplanes most of the day, it was nice to be in the fresh air and wandering around Fifth-Third Ballpark. We were also one of the lucky ones to get an Avisail Garcia bobble head at the gate. It was good to see the best mascot in the minors, Crash the River Rascal, hamming it up on the concourse with the kids. I wandered down and watched the Whitecaps warm up, and got some good pics of the team. I was excited to see guys like Devin Travis and Danry Vasquez in action. It was also cool to see new pitching coach Mike Henneman, who was one of my favorite Tigers when I was younger. Henneman seemed to be joking around with his staff a little, and keeping his pitchers loose. It was good to see some familiar faces and be back home, and this will go down as one of the best baseball trips ever.
The game did not go our way, and the Whitecaps home field advantage did them little good as the Hot Rods shut them right down. Starting pitcher Charlie Gillies took the loss, but had no run support. He gave up three runs and struck out three, in just over five innings of work. Both second baseman Jared Reaves and third baseman Mario Martinez went 2-4, but could not help get a run across the plate. Win or lose, however, there's still no place that I'd rather be. Final score: Whitecaps 0, Hot Rods 4.

Most kids like to spend the day at the ballpark. Some games are better than others, though, and this weekend for young Alex Alder it was one of the best. After his ticket was scanned and he walked through the turnstile at Fifth Third Ballpark, Alex was named as the West Michigan Whitecaps' eight millionth fan! Most kids would also be happy to walk away from a game with a foul ball, but look what Alex was awarded:
Men's or Ladies Seiko watch from Talsma Jewelers
• $100 gift card from Bob Evans
• Eight – 9-hole rounds of golf from Maple Hill Golf
• Tree tops midweek round of golf for two
• Whitecaps 4Topps table package with $88 gift card
• Tigers Tickets
• Whitecaps jersey & other apparel
• Rock the Rapids Concert Tickets
• Xbox
• Balloons
• Giant stuffed animal
• iPod
The Whitecaps had promotions going on all weekend, too, and all season to celebrate the 20th year of baseball in the Grand Rapids area.

Ballpark, or snow fort?
As I mentioned in my last post, winter here in Michigan is hanging on, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere, soon. Down in Comstock Park, the grounds crew at Fifth Third Ballpark has begun the snow removal process. Without the warm sunshine, or even warm rain, to melt the snow, head grounds keeper Michael Huie and his crew have to do it the old-fashioned way. Shovels and snow blowers. This doesn't look like much fun, but us Michiganders have been doing this for five months now. It looks like the weather may warm up a little, into the 40's, this weekend, but still not baseball weather in my opinion. The West Michigan Whitecaps host the Dayton Dragons in the season opener on April 4th, so good luck to them getting the ballpark ready.
Ballpark 'Bon Appetit'
Ok, hell or high water, I need to make a Battle Creek Bombers game this season. Not just to witness some great summer college league baseball action, but also temp my palate with…the Twinkie Dog. Yes, it's a hot dog with a Twinkie for the bun. No sure how the Bomber staff acquired all the Twinkies, or maybe they use a knock-off brand, but either way, this is something I need to try. I think the kids are on board with me on this, too, so we can make it a family dinner type thing! Battle Creek is pretty confident in its new concession, too, as they've released a Twinkie Dog t-shirt. Anyone in the Battle Creek area can also stop by the ballpark offices for a free sample up until the end of March. That's a little too far for me to drive for a snack, so I'll wait until the Bombers season starts! Not that I need much of an excuse to go to C.O. Brown stadium, since that's where my love for Minor League Baseball started, and where the baseball trip originated! I hope we don't get rained out, however, like we did last time.
Just north of BC, another one of my haunts, is the Grand Rapids area, home of the West Michigan Whitecaps. The 'Caps gained some national attention a few years again when they released the Fifth Third Burger. The burger made headlines on CNN, and has been featured on the Food Network, and the Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel. This year, the winner of the fourth annual Whitecaps food contest is the Baco…a taco with a bacon shell. The Baco received 30% of the online votes from a list of ten food items that had been dwindled down from a list of 150. My personal vote was for the Bad Joke, a corn dog covered with cheese with two strips of duck bacon in a bun. That fell just short at 27%. Either way, the fans at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park will have many culinary delights to snack on while watching the Whitecaps play this season. Just another reason why I just can't wait for this winter to be over, and baseball to begin!

NOT soon enough!
I am absolutely excited that I'm now watching some baseball, even spring training games. Actually, I really enjoy these games, since there is a better chance of me seeing some players that I saw play for the Whitecaps last season. I know I'm going to drive the kids nuts, too, with all of the baseball I'll be watching this spring. Nick Jr. and Disney Channel will have to take a rest. I snapped this photo over the weekend while in Grand Rapids (more on that later). I'm really excited to see live baseball, though. I've already received my tickets to the Winston-Salem Dash, and just ordered front row seats for the Hickory Crawdads over the weekend. Just excited, so bear with me this spring!!!

West Michigan alums get invites
Being a non-roster invitee to major league spring training, is like being in high school, and getting a birthday party invite from the prettiest girl in school. For six former members of the West Michigan Whitecaps, being invited to the Detroit Tigers camp must seem pretty sweet. The Tigers have 17 non-roster invites in all.
Of all the invitees, utility man Don Kelly has the most experience at the big league level. He recently re-signed with the Tigers, after being told after the World Series that there would not be room for him on this years roster. Kelly played for the Whitecaps back in 2002, batting .286. He had 21 doubles and 59 RBI's, plus an impressive .728 OBS. Kelly only hit .186 at the major league level last season, but due to his versatility and experience he may have a chance to crack the roster. An obstacle in his way, though, is that the Tigers are looking for a right-handed hitter to platoon with Dirks in left field, and Kelly is a lefty.
Top prospect Nick Castellanos (pictured above with Lily) will be at the Tigers camp, also. He did his time in West Michigan in 2011, when he was just 19 years old. After a slow start, he really had a solid season, hitting .312, with seven home runs and 76 RBI's. He patrolled third base at Fifth Third Ballpark, but was moved to the outfield last season, after Miguel Cabrera took over the hot corner in Detroit. Castellanos made 23 errors at third for the 'Caps, and ended the year with a .917 fielding percentage. With his defense not being his strongest asset, the move could be good for him, but he just needs time to develop those skills, so I doubt that he'll be making an appearance at Comerica this season. Be patient, though, his time will come. Castellanos was the Tigers Minor League Players of the Year in 2011, also.
Two of the three catcher invited to camp played for the Whitecaps, too. James McCann was the Tigers' second round pick in 2011 after finishing his collegiate career at the University of Arkansas. He played nine games for the Whitecaps in 2011 also, hitting only .059, with two singles and one double. He only made one error, though, and threw out 4 runners out of 19 attempting to steal. Curt Casali was also drafted by the Tigers in 2011, after playing his college ball at Vanderbilt University. He played parts of two seasons in West Michigan, 2011 and 2012. In 2011, he played 25 games hitting .227, with two home runs and 14 RBI's. He only made one error behind the plate, and threw out seven base runners. In 2012, his average increased to .288, with 12 doubles, eight home runs, and 25 RBI's. He only allowed on passed ball, and threw out 20 potential base stealers. In my opinion, the Tigers are still a little weak at catcher, so if either of these guys has their bat catch fire, they have an outside chance of making the roster.
Kenny Faulk pitched for the Whitecaps back in 2010. His record was 5-4 with an impressive 2.16 ERA. He made 12 saves, giving up no home runs, and striking out 78. His ERA inflated last season at the Double-A level, so he'll need to bring that down a bit before getting consideration. I'd have to gauge his fast ball, and see his secondary pitches before making an informed opinion on his chances to make the team, though. I look forward to seeing him in spring training, and hope he can earn a spot.
Another weakness in Detroit is at the short stop position. Last season, though, the Whitecaps' Eugenio Suarez won the Golden Glove as the best short stop in the minor leagues. He played 119 games at short, and 15 at second base, so he does have versatility at middle infield. He had a .971 fielding percentage, with 257 put-outs and 349 assists at short. He had a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage at second. At the plate, Suarez hit a very respectable .288, with 34 doubles, had 64 RBI's, and stole 21 bases. Keep in mind, these are all in 2012 at the Single-A level. He'll still need a few more seasons to develop, but the Tigers I'm sure are very happy with the way he's progressing, and I'm confident he'll be scooping 'em up at Comerica in no time. Just not this year.

You can be sure to see a cameo from some of the Bushes, while the more controversial W. will be safely off to the sidelines.
Hedda Hopper made a cameo appearance as herself in a 1955 episode of I Love Lucy.
"Mitch Hurwitz [creator of Arrested Development] thought we were cool enough to have a cameo," he added.
early 15c., kaadmaheu, camew, chamehieux and many other spellings (from early 13c. in Anglo-Latin), "carved precious stone with two layers of colors," from Old French camaieu and directly from Medieval Latin cammaeus, of unknown origin, perhaps ultimately from Arabic qamaa'il "flower buds," or Persian chumahan "agate." Transferred sense of "small character or part that stands out from other minor parts" in a play, etc., is from 1928, from earlier meaning "short literary sketch or portrait" (1851), a transferred sense from cameo silhouettes.

It's nice looking but I wouldn't go that far...
Posted 16 February 2013 - 06:53 PM
I thought I read some wheres that it was based off of the Pantera platform.I have a curbside Pantera,be cool to try and convert it into an AMX 3.Anyone know if they make a resin version of the car.
Posted 16 February 2013 - 07:19 PM
DeTomasso designed the Pantera. Giotto Bizzarrini, who designed the '62 Ferrari GTO and cars with his own name, like the 5300 GT, designed the AMX-3. Six cars were produced, before the plug was pulled.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 03:25 AM
There was a cleaner, earlier version, more Pantera-looking AMX-2. Had some Mangusta and Mustang influence in the tail.
I don't know what structure the AMX-2 is on, but the AMX-3s were not on Pantera structure, even though there's been speculation that they were. Photos of the engine bay absolutely confirms it's not Pantera underneath.
EDIT: Apparently the AMX-2 was a hollow shell, never completed as a running prototype. This would make a cool one to build as a full detail, finished and running version.
More here on the life of the prototype....

Apparently Guido Fieuw of ScaleKraft in South Africa had one of these in the works years ago. I don't know if he ever produced any as he had a major accident years ago (mountain climbing), and got out of the hobby.
Someone else may have more info than I..........I could have sworn I seen the AMX/3 on his webpage at one time though.

This chain has no o-rings and is delivered with a clip-type master-link. I will install a rivet-type master-link asap. I will also take care not "sitting on the chain" i.e. verify tension with you seating on the bike, not when up on side-stand. There is a lot of difference.

Enlarged Esophagus (Megaesophagus) in Dogs
In this article
Megaesophagus means enlarged esophagus. When the esophagus is partially obstructed over a period of time, it gradually enlarges like a balloon and becomes a storage organ. This process, called megaesophagus, is accompanied by regurgitation, loss of weight, and recurrent episodes of aspiration pneumonia.
There are two causes of megaesophagus. The first is a failure of the esophagus to contract and propel food into the stomach. This impaired motility occurs as a hereditary disorder in puppies and as an acquired disease in adults. The second cause of megaesophagus is a physical blockage, such as a foreign body or a developmental problem with abnormal blood vessels that encircle the esophagus.

Types of Head Injuries in Dogs
A dog's head can be injured in many ways, including a car accident, a fall, a blow to the head, or a gunshot wound. Since the brain is encased in bone and surrounded by a layer of fluid, it takes a major blow to the head to fracture the skull and injure the brain. Skull Fractures A skull fracture can be linear, star shaped, compound (a compound fracture opens to outside the body), or depressed (forming a depression). Skull fractures often extend into the middle ear, nasal cavity, or sinuses,...
Read the Types of Head Injuries in Dogs article > >
Congenital megaesophagus is a hereditary form of the disease that occurs in puppies. It is caused by a developmental disorder involving the nerve plexus in the lower esophagus. Peristaltic activity stops at the level where the esophagus is paralyzed, and food can go no further. In time, the esophagus above the inert segment enlarges and balloons out. This can be seen by lifting the puppy by his back legs and looking for a bulging out of the esophagus at the side of the neck.
Congenital megaesophagus has been described in German Shepherd Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Irish Setters, Greyhounds, Labrador Retrievers, Newfoundlands, Miniature Schnauzers, Chinese Shar-Pei, and Wire Fox Terriers. Hereditary myopathies are other causes of congenital megaesophagus.
Puppies with congenital megaesophagus show signs at weaning, when they begin to eat solid foods. Characteristically, they approach the food dish with enthusiasm but back away after a few bites. They often regurgitate small amounts of food, which they eat again. After repeatedly eating the food, it becomes quite liquid and passes into the stomach. Repeated inhalation of food causes bouts of aspiration pneumonia.
Another type of congenital megaesophagus is caused by retained fetal arteries in the chest. The arteries produce a constriction around the esophagus (known as vascular ring anomaly) that prevents swallowing. The most common anomaly is a persistent right aortic arch. Regurgitation and difficulty swallowing appear at 4 to 10 months of age. These puppies are stunted and malnourished.

LANSDALE Ś The Lansdale Police Department has received a financial boost thanks to a $5,000 donation from the Lansdale Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 32.
ōWe sure appreciate all you guys do for us. These guys do so much to keep us safe, we thought weÆd do something for them,ö said Post Commander Stan Levinsky.
The donation was collected from membership dues, VFW fundraisers and member contributions, and is the second-largest donation the VFW post has made in recent weeks. A $2,000 check went to the Delaware Valley chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation last month, and the VFW post is also planning a $1,000 donation to SaturdayÆs Lansdale Oktoberfest, Levinsky said.
Members meet at 11 a.m. on the second Sunday of each month at the post headquarters, located at 805 W. Second St., and any area veterans are welcome to attend and join as full members, while their family members or friends can join as social members. Dues are $25 for regular members and $10 for social members.
ōWe have four Pearl Harbor veterans, and a few more from World War II and Korea, quite a few (veterans) from Vietnam and now weÆre recruiting Iraq and Afghanistan (veterans),ö Levinsky said.
The police department does not have any specific plans for the funds, but officers have been asked to submit ideas to their sergeants for review, according to police Chief Robert McDyre.
ōThe donation is being made with officer safety in mind, so weÆre looking at all sort of different ideas Ś things like raid vests, new equipment, everyone has ideas,ö McDyre said.
Those expenditures would not need approval from borough council because the donation was made directly to the department, he said, but councilÆs Public Safety Committee will hear updates as those decisions are made.
Committee chair Mike Sobel said Tuesday that he thought the donation was ōfantastic; these guys need all the support they can get, and itÆs great to see a group from the community reach out to help them.ö

Blackbody Radiation
Jonathan Osbourne
Jonathan Osbourne
PhD., University of Maryland
Published author
Jonathan is a published author and recently completed a book on physics and applied mathematics.
Blackbody radiation states that every object at a finite temperature radiates light. Hotter objects emit more light and at smaller wavelengths when compared to cooler objects. Sefan-Boltzmann displacement law and Wien's displacement law are ways that we can calculate an objects' temperature.
Let's talk about the blackbody radiation spectrum. this was one of the most important things, well, a lot of important things came out of the nineteenth century, but this was a very very very important thing that came out of the nineteenth century.
So here's the idea. When things are in thermal contact, what that means is that they're bumping into each other, having collisions and sharing energy. So if I've got a hot liquid and a cold liquid and I pour them together, then the hot liquid is going to give some of its energy to the cold liquid, so the cold liquid will get hotter and the hot liquid will get colder until they're at the same temperature. And that's what thermal contact does. Now when they get into the same temperature, that's thermal equilibrium. The easy way to think about thermal equilibrium is everybody gets his share. Alright?
So when you're in thermal equilibrium, all the atoms get the same amount of energy provided that they're using it. There's all these little rules that I don't want to talk about right now but, you can think about it that way. So, what about light? I mean if I'm talking about atoms and they're interacting with each other, atoms consist of electrons and nuclei and those things are charged. So, they ought to interact with the electromagnetic field so that means that they ought to be able to give some energy to electromagnetic waves. So doesn't light get to play? Yes. Light gets to play and that's a major major thing because what that means is that every thing that has a finite temperature, everything, in order to be in thermal equilibrium, it's got to give some of it's energy to light. And of course, what does light do when you give it energy? It leaves. If this is going to sit around, it's not, you know attracted to the matter. It doesn't care, it's just going off. It's like a light bulb. You turn it on, well light leaves, right?
So here's the idea. Every object that has a finite temperature is always radiating energy and this energy just comes from the thermal equilibrium. It comes from the temperature itself. So it's just radiating, I'm radiating energy right now, light energy. So when we go ahead and measure the intensity of the light that's coming off versus the wavelength, we get this real interesting curves. The red curve is for a hot object, the blue curve is for a cooler object. Notice that the red curve has a lot more energy, a lot more intensity. So that means that hotter objects give up a lot more light than cooler objects still. Alright? Similarly, we find that there's a little peak here. Notice that the cooler object peaks at a higher wavelength than the hotter object does. So what that means is that as an object gets hotter, it not only radiates more just overall, it also starts to radiate at lower wavelengths.
So here, this one wasn't radiating very much at that wavelength before, but then we heat it up and now that becomes the maximum radiation. Alright. So that's the way that blackbody radiation works. These curves are extremely important. They're actually lead Planck to propose photons. That's where photons come from. They come form this blackbody radiation spectrum. Now, you can also understand this just kind of qualitatively, if you've ever seen an electric range, you turn it on, turn it up to high and what happens? How do you know it's hot? Well, the filament is glowing. right? It starts glowing red. So that's an invitation that it's hot. That means that the wavelength of peak emission has moved over far enough that you can actually see visible light. See, at my temperature right now, I'm still radiating but I'm not radiating in the visible spectrum. It's got to be pretty high to radiate in the visible spectrum. alright. Let's get qualitative on this. There's two major major major formulas that are associated with the blackbody radiation formula.
Now, I'm not going to write out Planck's formula because it's kind of complicated. But these are two things that are derived form it. The first one is the Stefan Boltzmann law and that tells you how much energy per unit time. How much power is emitted by something that has temperature t. So it tells us that power is equal to sigma, sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann law constant. And you can measure it or you can calculate it from fundamental constant, it's 5.67 times 10 to the -8 watts per meter squared kelvin to the fourth, alright? Now, that unit of course you can get just by saying the power has to be watts and look what I'm multiplying by. This is the area, the surface area of the object. Obviously if it's bigger, it's going to radiate more. I mean think about the earth, right? The earth is radiating through every little piece of its surface area. So it's a lot bigger than a beach ball. So I would expect it to radiate a lot more energy. So that's why the area is there.
Then we have this e, this is called the emissivity and you can basically think about it in terms of like greenhouse gases. Right? The earth emits energy but then some of it bounced back so that would make the amount that it's actually emitting, less, okay? So this is the emissivity alright? It's between zero and one. Alright? And then we have the temperature and what's weird about this is that the temperature is to the fourth power. Most of the time we just see things squared. At best cubed. But this is temperature to the fourth power. And it's also the kelvin temperature. It is not degrees celsius. And it's not degrees Fahrenheit certainly. It's kelvin temperature.
Now, as you remember from chemistry, kelvin temperature is celsius temperature plus 273. Now what's interesting about that is that room temperature's about 300 kelvin. So when you look at this number and you say, oh it's 10 to the -8, that's not very much power at all. Think about the fact that you are then going to multiply it by 300 to the fourth power, alright? So that actually makes this power fairly large. Anyway, so that's the first equation.
The second one is Wien's displacement law. Now this tells us how we can calculate the wavelength associated with maximum intensity if we know the temperature. So he tells us that lambda max is equal to 2.898 millimeter kelvin and that's just a constant you could measure it in experiment divided by the temperature. Again that temperature has to be in kelvin. Alright.
So let's just go ahead and do some examples. So a human being has a body temperature, internal body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. That translates to 310 kelvin. So Wien's displacement law tells us that the maximum wavelength is 9.35 micrometers. So this is a microwave. You can't see it, it's not visible. It's in the far infrared, alright? But, that's how thermal imaging works. And that's how those heat goggles work. You look at something and you're looking at just part of the spectrum and at this part of the spectrum, all human beings are like light bulbs. They're just radiating. Alright. So we've got that for a human. Let's get hotter.
What about molten iron? Now, you guys know that when you heat up iron enough that it starts to melt, it starts to show that red. It starts to glow. Right? So the temperature at which iron melts is 1810 kelvin. Using Wien's displacement law we see that the maximum wavelength of emission is at 1600 nanometers. Now that's not visible. It's infrared. The highest wavelength that we can see as human beings is about 700 nanometers. So this is a little bit more than twice that. However, as you remember from the curves, the maximum is not the only wavelength that's being emitted. It emits at smaller wavelengths too. And so it's just kind of beginning to glow that red. That's the idea because that red is about 650, 670 nanometers. Alright. So that's molten iron.
What about the sun? The sun has a surface temperature of about 5800 kelvin. That's very hot and when we use Wien's displacement law, we find a maximum wavelength emission of 500 nanometres. That's like a blue green. So now you might ask, well jeez. I look at the sun, it doesn't look like blue green to me. It looks yellow. There's many reasons for that. Part of the reason is that when you look at the sun you are actually seeing that whole spectrum, and there's a lot more of the larger wavelengths than they are of the smaller ones. So you're averaging in all those reds and all those oranges and all those things like that. And that pulls what it looks like kind of further up the wavelength spectrum. The other reason is that when you're looking up at the sun, you're really only seeing the light that hasn't been scattered away by the atmosphere. If you look away from the sun, what do you see? You see blue. You see the sky. That's because the majority of the light that's scattered by the atmosphere is the small wavelength stuff. So that stuff's going away. What's left over? The bigger wavelengths and that's why the sun appears yellow when you look at it. Alright.
And there's one other example that I wanted to give. This is the cosmic background radiation which is something that's very very very important to physicists all around the world. Essentially what happened was after the big bang, things interacted for a while and then everything just kind of [IB] into atoms and everything and then the light that was remaining from the big bang decoupled from everything else because now everybody is neutral so the light is just going to propagate through. The cosmic background radiation is the remnants today of that light that decoupled about 300,000 years after the beginning of the universe. Now when we measure the intensity of the different wavelengths that come in that cosmic background radiation, we find a perfect blackbody spectrum. In fact it's the most perfect one ever found in nature. Cosmic background radiation with a temperature of 2.725 kelvin. It's been cooling off since the big bang. And by now it's cooled to 2.725 kelvin.
Anyway, that's blackbody radiation spectrum, one of the most important things to come out of nineteenth century physics.

Playing to your weaknesses
Fallout 3, the base game, has a lot going for it. A huge open world to explore, a ton of character customization options, competent conversation and morality systems, the list goes on. Fallout 3 was great because it could be approached in a variety of ways, each just as valid as the next. For the first Fallout 3 DLC, Operation Anchorage, this all has been thrown out the window in favor of an extremely linear, extremely combat-oriented romp through Alaska.
Not real Alaska of course- from D.C. to Anchorage is quite a long walk- just a simulated version of the frigid north. The DLC is focused around a military simulator used to recreate the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from Chinese Communists, an event referenced throughout the game. As opposed to the drab brown of the Capital Wasteland, Alaska is much more unique in appearance, covered in blueish ice and snow, providing a much better looking area to play around in.
You'll get a few new toys to help you make your way through the Alaskan campaign, such as an energy-based sniper, the Gauss Rifle, and some new melee weapons. All of these can be brought back into the Capital Wasteland, which is nice, but they still don't help to make the combat any more compelling. If you're only in it for the gear however, the Alaskan campaign is very short, a few hours at most, meaning it won't be long until you can get back to shooting Super Mutants with your shiny new equipment.
Anchorage performs one specific task, and that task is combat. If you did not enjoy the combat in the base game, you will not enjoy Anchorage. If you enjoyed the base game for reasons besides combat, you will not enjoy Anchorage. Anchorage is a combat pack, and as such will not be enjoyable to anyone besides hardcore Fallout 3 players and combat enthusiasts. Even then, at ten dollars, the short campaign and meager gear rewards may not be enough to make Operation Anchorage worthwhile.

Sometimes you run across a video that just makes you giggle out loud. I saw this this morning on TV and had to go find the video so I could share. The more I'm around animals the more I'm convinced they are humans reincarnated.
Local law enforcement recently seized 30 chihuahuas and turned them over to Rescue the Animals (RTA) in Abilene. SPCA Officials said the chihuahuas were discovered in a 13 by 30 foot portable building without any cooling or access to the outside. The conditions were terrible and quick acting local authorities got the dogs out while they were still in good health. Last Friday (7/19) a local judge heard the case and released the dogs to RTA for adoption. If you have the heart to care for a little Chihuahua check them out at Rescue the Animals in Abilene.

Milky Way-2 Wins #1 Supercomputer in the World According to Top500.Org04:00 EDT Monday, June 17, 2013
LEIPZIG, Germany (Business Wire) -- Marking a new era in supercomputing, the MilkyWay-2 system today was recognized as the most powerful supercomputer in the world according to top500.org. The system registered a performance of 33.86PF on the industry standard Linpack benchmark on a system with 16000 compute nodes, including over 32000 of upcoming Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 and over 48000 Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. The total system power consumption was 17.8 MW, which made the system one of the most power efficient systems on the top 500 list with a performance per watt of over 1.9 GF/W.
The system was designed and developed by the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and uses what is called a "neo-heterogeneous architecture". The previous TianHe-1A system was built using a fully heterogeneous architecture combining traditional CPUs with attached accelerators. While this architecture made great strides in energy efficiency, in this architecture, the CPUs and accelerators use a very different programming model, which makes the development of scientific applications more complex and time consuming. In a "neo-heterogeneous architecture" while the hardware architecture has multiple classes of hardware compute capabilities, they are all accessed by a common programming model, streamlining development and optimization processes.
The MilkyWay-2 system is based on a NUDT designed proprietary high-speed network called TH Express-2, and has over 1 Petabytes of memory. It has over 12 Petabytes of global shared parallel storage, and includes 125 cabinets for computation, 13 cabinets for communication and 24 cabinets for storage.
The MilkyWay-2 system is the largest All-Intel based system ever built. It is among the first to use the future Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 V2 processors, and the largest to-date installation of Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors.
In MilkyWay-2, the proprietary high-speed interconnection network is provided, which adopts the opto-electronic hybrid interconnection and the fat-tree topology. With the bi-directional bandwidth at 160Gbps, the network itself is balanced and scalable.
The service array of MilkyWay-2 was built with the FT-1500 processors. The FT-1500 processor, integrating 16 quad-threaded cores, implements the vector computational extensions for large-scale scientific and engineering applications. The chip runs at a speed of up to 1.8GHz with a peak performance of 144GFlops, while consuming 65W of power on average.
MilkyWay-2 designs and implements the new hierarchical accelerated storage architecture. The architecture combines the distributed and the shared storage and implements a parallel hybrid hierarchical file system H2FS, fits to the big data management and the storage optimization, which also supports various storage semantics.
A new parallel programming model OpenMC is introduced in MilkyWay-2, which improves the programmability of applications. Via a unified abstraction for CPU and accelerator, the OpenMC model takes full advantage of the neo-heterogeneous structure. Meanwhile, the OpenMC efficiently exploit multi-level parallelisms through optimizations such as network topology based job deployment, adaptive load balance and communication hiding.
In MilkyWay-2, the compute modules are inserted symmetrically from both front and rear sides into the middle backplane while one CPM blade and one APU blade are horizontally blind connected, ensuring the higher computing density. There are 64 compute modules including 256 CPUs and 384 accelerators installed in one single cabinet. The computing density of single cabinet reaches 439.3TFlops.
As a result of above innovative designs, this benchmark was delivered in record time. The first Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 V2 based nodes were delivered by Inspur in early April 2013. The system was integrated, debugged and the benchmark was run on the full system in about 8 weeks. A remarkable technical achievement in its own right brought upon by NUDT professional mainboard designing, system construction technology and the strengths of a neo-heterogeneous architecture.
This system was sponsored by 863 High tech. Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Government of Guangdong province and the Government of Guangzhou city, operated by NUDT, this system is intended to serve as an open platform for research and education and also intended to provide high performance computing service for southern China.
MilkyWay-2 system will be applied to research a wide range of scientific applications, including finding the ability to more accurately predict weather patterns, create more efficient energy resources, and develop cures for diseases, among numerous other applications. In addition, it expects to work in the field of "Big Data applications" to generate the ability to quickly compute, simulate and make more informed decisions.

Water fluoridation brewed huge controversy
The controversy about introducing fluoride into Henderson's "precious bodily fluids" began 50 years ago this week.
The Henderson City Commission unanimously passed first reading of an ordinance authorizing use of the chemical on March 2, 1962.
The city's new water treatment plant, which had begun operations in January, had been built with about $15,000 of equipment to automatically add fluoride to the city's drinking water.
But the idea had been floating around long before that.
When preliminary plans for the new plant had been drawn up in 1959 the state Board of Health notified local officials that they would not be approved unless the plant included the capacity for adding fluoride.
At one time the idea of fluoride in public drinking water was the equivalent of the hammer and sickle, according to certain elements of society.
I'm not saying their opposition was wrong; I'm just saying. Stanley Kubrick's 1964 dark comedy, "Dr. Strangelove," satirized that element through Gen. Jack D. Ripper, who in the movie touched off a nuclear holocaust because he wanted to foil the Communists from polluting Americans' "precious bodily fluids" with fluoride.
The idea that fluoridation was a Communist plot was pretty widespread back in the 1950s and '60s. It was a tenet of faith of the John Birch Society and others on that end of the political spectrum.
At the next meeting of the city commission, on March 13, that very issue was raised by Mrs. C.L. Abel. She read a statement by Oliver Kenneth Goff, who claimed to be a former Communist who had seen the light.
Goff maintained that fluoride was used in Russian prisons to sedate their occupants.
Furthermore, his statement said that during Communist meetings he had attended "plans were discussed for the use of fluoride in America to induce a lethargic condition in the American people during which time the Communists could take over."
Mrs. Abel interrupted her reading of the statement several times when it appeared she had lost the full attention of the audience of about 40 people.
The largest delegation was about a dozen women from the Vanderburgh County Pure Water Association, which had been fighting fluoridation in Evansville the previous two years.
Mayor Robert Posey was absent and the presiding commissioner said three different times that no decision would be made until he returned.
But the battle continued on opinion pages of The Gleaner.
Local dentist R.J. Redman noted that the main opposition to fluoridation was coming from local chiropractors and optometrists, and questioned how well qualified they were, according to the March 18 edition of The Gleaner. "Why not leave such matters in the hands of professional people qualified to do so?"
The same issue contained a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Hatchett, which said "those who oppose this treatment of our water supply obviously ignore medical facts or distort them. Their appeal is to one's emotions, not to one's reason. May we urge that they leave Communism out of just this one issue and find another appeal on which to have their case."
The Hatchetts also took a slap at the Evansville women, saying "we feel that this community is capable of making an intelligent decision without the assistance of our neighbors to the north."
The same issue carried a lengthy editorial that strongly endorsed fluoridation, and noted that 47 cities in Kentucky had already adopted it.
Dr. C.L. Abel fired back in The Gleaner of March 20. "This is a Communist inspired act," he alleged, calling fluoride a "poison," (which it is, although in much stronger mixtures) and charging that it is "hurtful to the elderly people."
On that very day the Henderson City Commission met again — and passed the fluoridation ordinance on final reading.
Mayor Posey was not present, but he had sent a letter, which was read into the record, noting that he was "100 percent in favor of the ordinance and wanted the commissioners to know they had his support."
Water Superintendent Herman Hussel said fluoridation would probably begin by the end of that week.
Opponents hit the roof, claiming they had been betrayed. "We were promised at the March 13th meeting that no action would be taken on fluoridation until Mayor Posey returned," Dr. James W. Summers wrote in the March 22 edition. Dr. Abel made the same point in the same edition.
Letters from Summers and Abel continued to trickle into The Gleaner until mid-April, but the Henderson Water and Sewer Commission responded in a written statement published in The Gleaner on April 17.
It listed the numerous supporters of fluoridation, and said it was "physically impossible" to mistakenly add more fluoride than needed. That seemed to put an end to the local controversy.
Since the late 1960s Kentucky law has required the addition of fluoride to water systems that serve more than 3,000 people. The Henderson Water Utility currently spends about $23,000 a year on the necessary chemicals.
100 years ago
A fire in Corydon destroyed three houses on this date in 1912, The Gleaner reported, although it was believed that only one would have been lost if not for a malfunction in the community's fire engine. For a while the fire threatened the entire downtown area.75 YEARS AGOLocal grain dealers appeared before the Henderson City Commission and urged imposition of a tax on itinerant dealers of hay, The Gleaner reported March 2, 1937. The city attorney pointed to an existing ordinance that levied license fees of up to $500 annually on those types of merchants, and city officials said they would immediately begin enforcing it.
25 years ago
The Henderson City-County Planning Commission voted 8-3 to approve a new shopping center on U.S. 41-North at Walker Drive, provided developer Regency Associates came up with an acceptable access plan, The Gleaner reported on this date in 1987. The southern anchor of the shopping center was built only relatively recently with the opening of Showplace Cinema in November of 2010.

I don't believe they will run any trucks, equipment, etc. with Speedbrain branding. This is an HRC effort. Joan and Paulo are now HRC riders. HRC simply co-opted some SB experience and structure to run things similar to how HRC co-opted Henk and the HT Rally Raid effort, it's just now switched to SB.
Speedbrain will continue as a separate entity with their bikes and equipment. Development on the Speedbrain 450 Rally continues as normal, the concentration just shifts to customer packages unless, of course another manufacturer comes knocking, then I am sure the minds would be open.
It seems a massive concession on both sides, Honda on the cash and speedbrain on the bike. For JBB it must have been some offer, his ego must be somewhere up in the clouds at the moment?
the total package for one rider must be enormous and they couldn't do a deal with Cyril? There is more to this story that we will probably never know.?

Robert Doren, managing partner of Bond Schoeneck & King, is not involved in the Local 17 case but has represented some of the construction companies involved. The outcome of the case, he believes, will be significant.
"It's one in a series of cases brought in recent years that make it loud and clear that the criminal conduct of union officials will no longer be tolerated," he says. "Only when the courts allow prosecutors to pursue these claims can we expect the free enterprise system to flourish. In many places across the U.S., mostly in the North East and West, violence by union leadership has not been uncommon."
Earlier this month union violence erupted in the West, with angry longshoremen bringing shipping to a halt in the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
At a new $200 million grain export terminal in Longview, Washington, 500 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, outraged that terminal owners were using labor from a different union, stormed the terminal before sunrise on September 8. Wielding baseball bats, they smashed windows and dumped tons of grain from 72 railroad freight cars, according to local law enforcement and to accounts in the Seattle Times, the New York Times and the Journal of Commerce.
A union spokesman said ILWU leadership had not organized the actions, describing them as wildcat and unsanctioned.

'Pen fails Angels again
NEW YORK — A year ago, Angels manager Mike Scioscia would never have thought of bringing Justin Speier into the eighth inning of a tie game.
It might be just as long before he tries it again.
Speier gave up four hits and a walk in a five-batter span of the eighth inning Thursday night, turning a tight game into a 7-4 victory for the New York Yankees.
The loss ended the Angels' modest three-game winning streak — but continued their early-season bullpen problems. Angels relievers have combined for a 7.07 ERA, the highest in the majors, and have taken the loss in seven of the Angels' 12 defeats (tied with the Washington Nationals for the most in the majors).
The loss left the Angels at 9-12 in April, ending their run of 15 straight months at .500 or better. That was longest active streak in the majors.
For the most part, Speier hadn't been part of the problem. Five of his six appearances before Thursday had been scoreless and he was slowly moving up the bullpen food chain, regaining Scioscia's trust as others lost it.
But after retiring Hideki Matsui on a flyout to start the eighth, Speier gave up a single to Robinson Cano and a ground-rule double to Jorge Posada, Cano being sent back to third when the ball hopped over the fence in right-center field.
The Angels intentionally walked Nick Swisher to load the bases. They were still loaded after Melky Cabrera's single to right drove in the go-ahead run. Two more scored on a double by rookie third baseman Ramiro Pena.
The damage was done and so was Speier.
"My location's been pretty good. Today it wasn't. What are you going to do?" Speier said. "When we (in the bullpen) have a bad day, it costs us a game. I left it in the shower and won't think about it tomorrow.
"I just really didn't make good pitches tonight."
But the fact he was making any pitches in the eighth inning of a tie game speaks volumes about the state of the Angels' bullpen.
Rookie right-hander Anthony Ortega was unshaken by the big stage — starting the Angels' first game at the new $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium in just his second major league game. He pitched well into the seventh inning and could have left the game with a lead if not for an error by Bobby Abreu in right field that led to a run in the fourth inning. It was the Angels' 17th error in 21 games.
"I kept my confidence level up, trusting that whatever I had out there would work no matter what ballpark I'm in," the 23-year-old Ortega said through a translator. "Baseball is baseball. In my mind, I wasn't facing anything but another big league team. That was my approach — stay calm, stay confident.
"It's more like I'm honored and proud of being able to take the mound at Yankee Stadium. I know this is a special place and a special team to face. I don't mean to put it down in any way. But I needed to face it the way I faced it."
After giving up a one-out single in the seventh, though, Scioscia felt Ortega had done enough. With Jose Arredondo unavailable (he pitched in both games in Baltimore), Scioscia went with Scot Shields.
Shields' dependability has been one of the key issues in the bullpen's early-season dysfunction, but he got Mark Teixeira to ground into an inning-ending double play — and that was it. Shields threw just nine pitches but, rather than send him out for the eighth, Scioscia turned to Speier — a definite flip in roles with Shields handing off to Speier.
But Scioscia said there is no such hierarchy in the Angels' battered bullpen right now.
"There's a lot of guys we're going to use in front of Brian (Fuentes)," Scioscia said. "They can all interchange based on matchups, game situations and things like that.
"It's going to depend on more things right now. Getting Scotty back on track is definitely a priority and he might be pitching in some games and situations that he probably has not pitched in too much recently. We'll take them in whatever fashion is best. That doesn't mean he's lost his role or his position."
Notes: New York's Robinson Cano extended his hitting streak to 17 games. ... Derek Jeter's 1,014th career RBI moved him past Bob Meusel for 10th place on the Yankees' list. ... The Angels stole three bases and were caught twice.

BackgroundIt has been three years since Catherine de Médicis' rule as regent came to an end, but she still holds the reins of power, making her the target of repeated attacks from the French nobility. One day in March 1566, when she realises that she has fallen victim to a terrible curse, she turns to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus.
Unfortunately, the famous prophet is too old and weak to take on such a mission alone. Refusing to abandon his queen in her hour of need, he sends his daughter Madeleine in his place. However, there is no such thing as women astrologers, let alone women doctors in medieval times. To be accepted as such, the young woman must go in disguise and assume her younger brother's identity, César, who is away for some time.
GameplayAlternating between Madeleine the young woman and Madeleine disguised as César, players are plunged into a thriller where political scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined. The game begins as an initiatory adventure in the footsteps of her father, the prophet and astrologer, before creating all the suspense of a detective novel: from one murder to another, players make their way through a test-riddled forensic investigation.

The art of the message board implosion is a time-honored tradition for college football fans around the country. It's no secret that college football fans are passionate to a fault, and at the first sign of smoke signals, the reactionary side of every fanbase is always there to pull the fire alarm. Whether it annoys you, entertains you, or both, you have to admire the consistency of the vocal minority. Their "Chicken Little" mentality is never wavering.
Never is this more apparent than the days and weeks leading up to National Signing Day, and yesterday, at the largest precursor to NSD (JUCO NSD), the Vols lost a couple of commitments and the frantic screams for help transcended the silent world of the Internet message board. "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
Obviously, recruiting is the lifeblood of collegiate athletics. The best athletes win games, and in the iconic world of college football, recruiting draws a massive audience. The World Wide Web has put a wealth of information at our disposal, and the world of recruiting groupies has grown to support four major recruiting publications (Scout, Rivals, ESPN, and 24/7.)
Yesterday, as the Tennessee Volunteers stumbled into the recruiting stretch by having two of their verbal commitments flipped to rival SEC schools, Tennessee message boards erupted into a frenzy. Dooley couldn't recruit, and the loss of two kids would inevitably be his demise.
Never mind the fact that he lost to Kentucky and only managed to win one SEC game in 2011, apparently the loss of two prospects in a business (recruiting) that is so volatile it makes trading penny stocks look like child's play is more of an indicator of Dooley's job status. Forget the fact that, despite a 5-7 season, he's assembled a consensus Top 15 class in the country and has done so for the past two seasons, now he can't recruit.
Losing a couple of kids who could have made an impact in 2012 certainly stings, but do you really think that is somehow more indicative of Derek Dooley's success at Tennessee than what he has or hasn't done on the field?
The Internet in 2011 is viewed much like the ocean was in the 15th century in the sense that at a certain point it seems inevitable that you'll just fall off the edge into the abyss, and I'm setting off for uncharted waters by trying to rationalize with the irrational. However, I can't stress this to you (the Internet anarchist) enough. You look like a dumb-ass.
Things are far from hunky-dory in Tennessee, and I certainly don't mean to make it seem as though they are, but to those of you puffing out your bottom lip and sulking as though you'd been jaded by your prom date, Damien and Otis Jacobs (no relation) weren't going to make it all better.
Love or hate Derek Dooley, you can't deny that he's organized nor that he has a plan. Whether or not he can execute on that plan is an entirely different story, but the blueprints do exist.
They lose a couple kids and then they'll add a couple kids (yesterday they added three-star JUCO DT Darrington Sentimore.) Such is the way of life in recruiting.
Maybe you're just doing it to flame and troll away at the droves of insecure fans out there, but at some point you have to understand that the line between looking stupid and being stupid is incredibly blurry. Once those two worlds intertwine there is no turning back.
