TALLAHASSEE — The Legislature adjourned for the year without expanding Medicaid to provide health insurance for 800,000 poor Floridians. But the debate is far from over.
Federal money for the Low Income Pool (LIP) — assigned to hospitals that care for the poor — will decline by another $400 million next year, and state lawmakers again will be pressured to help hospitals offset their losses. It will also be the final year the federal government will pay 100 percent of costs for any Medicaid expansion plan the state approves, an incentive worth billions to states like Florida.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign said Thursday the Vermont Democrat has raised $15 million since joining the race in late April, a strong total for his challenge against front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
About 250,000 donors have given money, giving the senator a solid foundation from which to build an insurgent campaign against Clinton and establishment Democrats.
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a preacher's son who withstood a recall election spawned by his fight with public employee unions, is joining the crowded Republican presidential race, aides said on Thursday.
Having spent the past several months traveling the country, speaking to conservatives, courting voters and scoring well in some early polls, Walker will officially enter the race with a campaign announcement in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha on July 13, the aides said.
WASHINGTON — Jim Webb, a decorated Vietnam veteran and accomplished novelist who became a fierce critic of the Iraq war in the Senate, announced Thursday that he's challenging Hillary Rodham Clinton and other rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Webb, in a statement posted on his campaign website, acknowledged he would face major hurdles but vowed to bring an outsider's voice to the 2016 race, dominated by Clinton.
WASHINGTON — Big-time donors to a nonprofit educational group founded by Jeb Bush, disclosed for the first time Wednesday, highlight the intersection between Bush's roles in the worlds of business, policy and politics years before he began running for president. Bush provided the names to The Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is ramping up for the launch of his 2016 presidential bid with a website offering free tickets to the July 21 event.
Kasich, a second-term Republican and former congressman, has decided to jump into the crowded GOP field after spending the year testing his scrappy political style and pragmatic policy positions around the country. He's considered more moderate than some contenders, but remains largely unknown among voters.
LIVINGSTON, N.J. — A tough-talking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched his 2016 campaign for president Tuesday with a promise to tell voters the truth even if it makes them cringe.
The Republican governor, a one-time GOP favorite who faded and now tries to climb back, lashed out at "bickering leaders" from both political parties in a kickoff rally in the gymnasium of his old high school. And in his trademark blunt style, he told voters — and warned Republican rivals — that he's ready to be aggressive in the 2016 contest.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Jeb Bush paid an average federal income tax rate of 36 percent over the past three decades.
That's according to tax returns Bush posted online Tuesday. The records detail the Republican presidential candidate's earnings and tax payments since 1981.
Bush notes that tax rate is higher than the 30 percent rate paid by Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2014.
He says on his website, "I have paid a higher tax rate than the Clintons even though I earned less income."
TALLAHASSEE — Lawmakers critical of Gov. Rick Scott's record number of vetoes say the cuts in state spending have a real impact in Florida communities that now face loss of jobs and resources dependent on now-eliminated funding.
Patrick Canan, District 5 St. Johns County School Board member, will be the guest speaker at the Democratic Executive Committee meeting on Thursday.
The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at Democratic Headquarters, 142B King St. in St. Augustine, and is open to the public.
The meeting will offer the opportunity for residents to hear comments about the current situation with the schools in the county, how well the students are performing, what is happening with the anticipated growth of the schools in the county and how the school board is able to deal with this growth.
TALLAHASSEE — Tucked inside the state's new $78.7 billion budget is $5 million to help build a sports complex that will partially serve as a training space for the Jacksonville Armada soccer team.
The money is found in two separate budget line items each named "Youth Soccer Academy and Training Grounds — Northeast Florida." The Times-Union obtained a copy of a handout created by the project's backers that outlines a public-private partnership to build the complex expected to cost $20 million to $25 million at completion.

BEIRUT (AP) — France's president pledged Sunday that his country will stand against instability in Lebanon, two weeks after the assassination of a senior Lebanese intelligence official sparked clashes between pro- and anti-Syrian groups.
Later in Saudi Arabia, Francois Hollande held further talks on Syria with King Abdullah, whose country has been a leading supporter of the forces trying to overthrow Syria's President Bashar Assad.
In Beirut, Hollande promised that Paris and the European Union will help Lebanon deal with an influx of more than 100,000 refugees who have fled the civil war in neighboring Syria.
"We are committed to give you guarantees regarding security, stability and unity of Lebanon," Hollande told reporters after meeting President Michel Suleiman.
The Oct. 19 car bomb that killed Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan, a powerful anti-Syrian intelligence official, stirred up deadly sectarian tensions in Lebanon, where Sunnis and Shiites are deeply divided over the civil war in Syria, which has killed at least 36,000 people since it began in March 2011.
Lebanon's two largest political coalitions have lined up on opposite sides of the conflict. The powerful Shiite group Hezbollah and its partners who dominate the Lebanese government have stood by Assad, while Lebanon's Sunni-led opposition backs the rebels seeking to topple the Damascus regime.
Assad and many in his inner circle are Alawites — an offshoot of Shiite Islam and a minority in Syria — while the rebels come mostly from the country's Sunni majority.
Syria dominated Lebanon for 29 years after it first sent troops into its smaller neighbor in 1976, during Lebanon's 15-year civil war.
Damascus' three-decade hold on Lebanon began to slip in 2005, after the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Still, for years after Syrian troops pulled out, there were frequent assassinations of anti-Syrian figures in Lebanon, and the perpetrators have yet to be tracked down.
Despite the Syrian military's withdrawal from Lebanon, Assad has managed to maintain his influence in the country through allies, such as Hezbollah.
Hollande made a three-hour stop in Beirut en route to Saudi Arabia for talks that focused on the Syria conflict and Iran's disputed nuclear program. Saudi officials said Hollande arrived in the Red Sea port of Jiddah, accompanied by a high-level delegation that included French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and a senior trade official.

Statements predicting future behavior cannot be "lies." It may not be true that she is going to give him a kiss in the future, but that doesn't mean he's lying when he says it. If is say, "it's going to rain tomorrow," but then it doesn't rain, I wasn't lying when i said, "it's going to rain tomorrow." My statement was untrue... but I wasn't lying because I can't know what's going to happen tomorrow. (If I said, "I think it's going to rain tomorrow," but I don't really think that, then I'm lying.)
Assuming we replace "if it is a lie" with "if it is or turns out to be false," I believe that OP's solution works.

The Jawoyn people are a group of Indigenous Australians living in the Northern Territory of Australia.[1]
Their country is around the Katherine Gorge area, which they have always called Nitmiluk, which means place of cicada dreaming.
The Jawoyn are known for an unusual relationship they forged with a local mining corporation. When that corporation wanted to gain access to Jawoyn land, rather than sell the land outright, they instead negotiated to allow the company to use the land for mining. In exchange, they received a number of concessions from the mining group, including commitments towards hiring Aboriginal workers, providing scholarships, and promoting the area as a tourist and environmentalist area.

This is great news.
Did they just extend the contract, or did he get a raise too? That man deserves some moneybags on his doorstep.

Kobe Bryant was understandably frustrated following a 95-83 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday, and we were afforded a glimpse at what the Los Angeles Lakers superstar did following the team's third-straight loss to help alleviate his disappointment with LA.'s 17-24 record, which he referred to after the loss as "frustrating" and "embarrassing." And it was all courtesy of Kobe's openness by way of his relatively new Twitter account. Still stinging a few hours after the game, a dejected Kobe Bryant found himself sitting at a piano and twinkling the keys. Tweeting that "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata calms me down when I reach my breaking point #relaxandfocus," Kobe attached the below photo. Huh. Must have been chilly wherever Kobe was playing the piano. Either that or he's so miserable because of the woeful season the Lakers have been having thus far that he simply does not even care anymore about such meaningless tasks such as removing his winter clothing when inside. TweetThe post Kobe Bryant, frustrated after latest loss, tweets photo of himself playing piano (pics) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

Grampa's menagerie of pets are rubbed the wrong way when a needy little critter arrives in this lighthearted chapter book.Grampa Bender wouldn't be able to run the Bed and Biscuit animal boardinghouse without the help of Ernest the pig, Gabby the mynah bird, and Milly the cat. In fact, the three animals have always thought of themselves as Grampa's family — and they assumed he felt the same way. But when Grampa comes home with a mysterious bundle and stops paying attention to his loyal companions, they start to question his affections. Engaging illustrations by Noah Z. Jones, capturing every endearing trait of this oddball family, complement Joan Carris's humorous, heartwarming book for middle-grade readers.

Steve Wright grew up in the west end of Louisville in a row of small shotgun-style houses. He now is the owner of Wright Legacy Group, an investment advisory firm with national reach.
Growing up, he didn't realize he was poor because all his friends were poor, too, Wright said.
He's worked since the eighth grade. He began with a newspaper route and mowing yards and was employed at a local hardware store, eventually putting himself through college.

Do you wear your heart on your sleeve or on your string? This fun craft necklace or decor accent can be made for any heart lover. Wear it all year round, especially on Valentine's Day! Use this tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets to spread holiday love!
Find this pattern and many more in our new eBook, 41 Valentine's Day Crafts: Valentine's Day Cards, Gifts, and More!
- Various papers
- Buttons
- Heart punch or die cuts
- Glue - I used Tombow's Liquid mono glue
- String or crochet thread
- Extra embellishments (Optional) - I used rhinestones and Stickles glitter glue to dress mine up
Punch out or die cut hearts from various papers. Embellish them with glitter glue, rhinestones, ink, etc.
Lay out a piece of string and start designing your heart string, alternating hearts and buttons. You'll need two of each heart and button so you can glue them together on either side of the string. Be sure to leave room at the top if you intend to tie it together or to something else.
When it looks the way you want it, apply glue to one heart and lay the string on top. Apply glue to second heart and place on top, matching it up with the first heart. Hold for a few seconds. Repeat with remaining hearts and buttons. The buttons won't be completely flat when glued together, but as long as they are glued to the string and touching on one side, they will be fine. Allow to dry for a few minutes.
I wanted mine to hang from my light fixture, so I spaced the pieces out a bit. Then I tied them to a piece of red tulle and tied the tulle to the chandelier. My son wanted his to be a necklace, so I tied his ends together.
That's it! This is such a fun project to do with little ones, although I did help with the gluing. My son loved making his necklaces, and practiced making patterns like he's learning to at school. He even wore one to kindergarten the next day. He said every kid in his class and his teacher all commented on it--he was so proud! Don't you love it when kids love to craft as much as you do?
Next he made this one to give to Grandma who came to visit. She loved it and wore it every day she was here.

There's nothing quite like a good ol' Texas Ranch wedding, especially one photographed by The Nichols. And they know just how we like it...pretty with a whopping side of gorgeous details to fawn over. Held at the George Ranch Historical Park, this vintage inspired party is as unique as it is fun. The prevailing theme for the day? "Ad Vitam" - don't worry I googled it for you all.

As a general rule, most dogs can run into problems chewing on bones. The bones frequently already have sharp edges on them and the dog can surely break off sharp fragments while chewing on the bone. These sharp edges and fragments can damage the gums
A further and more serious problem is what happens when the dog swallows those sharp pieces and fragments. Once in the digestive system, those sharp fragments can damage the esophagus, stomach and the intestines. Impactions can also occur.
If you give your dog real bones to chew on, you will sooner or later be making a trip to the veterinarian with a serious problem on your hands.

Left 4 Dead Gameplay Movie 13
Playing as the undead: Left 4 Dead.
by Aaron Sampson on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Hell YEah!!!!!!
Zombie hell never looked so good
this is just too good....
woot i so badly can not wait for this game to come out.
yes!!!!!! i have already pre-ordered/pre-load mine can wait till 12 :]
1 day to go! and 1 day too many.
The best zombies game ever made!
Zombies that has intelligence, see through wall, extraordinary strength, coordinate attacks. Sounds like a bunch of bad bad supermen. And his vomit looks like he is peeing!
i think the people are to hard to kill
so coooooooooooooooooooooool
i came.
lol when he ran in and threw up and went back like 50 zombies rush in i might lookinto this game becasue of that scene alone :D
Demo is amazing and without a doubt, full game will be too.
yes...kill them all...all of them
lol nice !!
did u see pikachu pimp slappin another pikachu that **** was funny as hell
did u see pikachu pimp slappin another pikachu that **** was funny as hell
i played the demo jus 2day n it was way better than wat i expected definetely lookin 2 buy 360 version
O.O That was awesome with u controlling the tank!
omg lol
Funny seeing people saying "Braiiinns" or whatever. The "Zombies" are actually people infected with this rage virus. But yeah, bloody awsome game! ;D
That was hilarious. Lol..
This is some serious poop... in a good way
While I admit this game looks cool. Yes I will be buying it. You can get a very similar experience from a game mode server via garys mod. Probably where Valve lifted it from
nice ????????
I played the Xb360 demo, and i was impressed!! had no idea this was going to be that good,definitely picking this one up!!!
The Witch isn't playable because that would be a very boring experience for the player. You would sit around for at least 20 minutes before the survivors would find you, and then you only have about the same health that a Hunter does. Plus theres no guarantee that the Survivors would find you at all.
Im pre oorderd it for 360 but i dont get it til christmas D:
Haha sadly all the recent gameplay movies are from the Demo (11-14) so I've seen all this before. And sadly, you can't play as the Infected anymore, but I guess that's something major they've wanted to keep a secret (fail in my opinion there) Other then that, can't wait for the full to be released next week. Just praying I play as many hours I do of it as I did as the demo (26 hours, dam I'm a dirty nerd LOL)
ROFLMAO BRUTAL i pre-ordered allready :D *cracks his fingers*
i really REALLY! want this GAME!!!!!
Holy crap I just played the demo and it is phenomenal. Its ridiculously awesome. It felt so much like a horror movie. I am definitely going to buy this. Not sure if it is the best game I have ever played but it is too amazing to judge it without more playtime. It probably is.
what a beast lol nice vid
that looks insane
mmm brains
WWAAARRGGHH!!! Love this
Man. This looks intense. The zombie noises are really freaking me out!
Looks like fun. It should be a rea gas in coop mode. 8)
The game is supposed to be a cooperative game. You and the other survivors take your guns with extremely serious amounts of ammo, blast every single undead retard yelling braaaiiiiins or just running at you, and sometimes scream HOLY S*&^, I just landed 300 shotgun rounds in this fat a&& zombie moron, and he still isn't dead. FIRE ON THE FAT DEAD GUY. KILL, KILL, KILL. Game should be fun in co-op.
this game looks bad..................and when i mean bad i mean BADASS
That looks epic...
i expected the tank to be a bit stronger, but i guess it has to even the game out somehow...
Holy crap I want to play as one of those Tanks!! Looks so awesome!
The witch is not playable...
Looks like theres a lot of graphic/camera issues, but still looks fun.

Done the same way Leo Fender did back in 1946.
There is Nothing like the Warm sound of a pine wood cabinet!
Fender is a licensed trademark for FMIC Not to be affiliated with ampRiser or instructables.com
Step 1: Measuring the four sections to be cut
I wanted the wood grain to match throughout the cabinet,
After purchasing a piece of select pine wood 1" thick 10" wide and 8' in length,
I carefully marked the 4 sections to be cut at 14.5" then 15.25" then 14.5" then 15.25"
Measure Twice CUT Once! Make sure to always were proper safety glasses and
read and understand the proper use of your power tools!
I used my radial arm saw to cut the sections.
Step 2: Numbering the cut sections
Step 3: Dry fit the sections
for proper assembly.
I dry fit them to see how the cabinet will look,
notice how the wood grain matches and follows
throughout the cabinet.
Step 4: Cutting the finger joints
I set up sections 1 and 3 in my finger joint jig
to be cut with my router.
1" stock is actually 3/4" thick, so I set the depth of cut at 3/4"
sections 1 and 3 start the cutting at an open finger on the jig
sections 2 and 4 start the cutting at the finger of the jig,
that way they are of set and will go together properly.
*Remember to ALWAYS wear safety glasses*
Step 5: Dry fit the cut sections
(finger jointing a cabinet can be complicated and requires
special tools and skills, so if you want you could skip
these steps and simply assemble the cabinet with out them?)
This is great! I'm just about to get started building a cab for a valve amp I made and this instructable is very helpful. Thanks for posting, and great job on some really neat jointing :)
excellent craftmanship!
Question....and if I missed it somewhere in the instructable I apologize. But what's up with the bottom cabinet in the heading picture up there? Looks like a piece of wood obstructing the speaker grille on bottom. Is that the case?
I bought the Box Joint Router Template and Jig at...
4 about $40.00?
One minor point: it looks like you uploaded all your photos at the beginning (certainly much easier :-). Unfortunately, that has the side effect of also attaching all of those pictures to your introduction. You may want to remove the "in process" pictures from that step (it won't affect where they are in the rest of the I'ble), leaving only the beautiful finish product.
If you're not familiar with the (slightly weird) markup I'bles uses, you could replace your all caps with either italics, putting two apostrophes before and after the text, like this:
''like this''or with bold face, using three apostrophes, like this:
'''like this'''

Chuck's oven underway NY
Hello everyone
After two month's of reading postings, studying photos and contemplating design as well as building a retaining wall and patio. I am now ready to start the oven construction. I have one question before I start cutting my brick for the dome of the oven.
As I was about to buy some firebrick from my local lumber yard. I found a posting on craigslist for a pallet of refractory brick at $200. I now have enough bricks to build my woodfired oven and a small potter kiln. These bricks are roughly 8in by 8in by 3 1/2 in to 3 5/16 ths . They are very dense high duty firebricks manufactured in Spain and intended for a large kiln. I purchased them from a warehouse that got stuck with them.
The information in the fornobravo pdf's suggests that high duty bricks may get too hot.
My question is ,
Should I adjust the thickness of my dome to correct for this?
Can this be corrected for by simply making a smaller fire if I want to roast?
I am insulating with the insulation available from Forno Bravo 2in of blacket above and two inches of board below. I will have an additional 1 to 3 inches of the perlite concrete mix incaseing that with loose perlite above.
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
Congrats on the firebrick deal! :)
Its my impression that those bricks will be the same temperature as any other brick in one of these ovens, even though your bricks could tolerate a much higher temperature than most of our bricks of lower density/duty.
Your bricks might be a bit more difficult to cut, but you can tolerate some additional difficulty at the price you paid :brickpriceenvy: ;)
I would recommend going strictly by the fornobravo plans, thereby keeping the thermal mass to proven thickness. Your insulation plan seems spot on.
Regards :)
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
Heat in = heat out.
Edit: The duty of the brick is for wear resistance, although a denser brick will take longer to heat. (see above)
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
Thanks for the replies guys, I did not think it would be a big deal, but wanted to ask since this forum is such a great resource. I am staying as close as I can to the plans.
I am a builder by trade and have a solid professional 8in tile saw so cutting the harder brick is not a big deal.
The concrete work is easy for me as well as I own a cement mixer.
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
Next question.. Thermocouples
I am thinking of installing thermocouples in the oven. Initially I was going to leave out this feature. But after finding a multimeter that had the range to measure temps in a pottery kiln (The next project I am planning, with the excess discounted bricks) I decided to kill two birds with stone and install some thermocouples.
I am wondering were the best locations would be.
I thought I would put one under the center of the oven about 3/4 of an inch from the surface and thereby have a temp right at the contact area for cooking.
Would it be useful to place them in other locations as well?
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
A quick thought. Your bricks are 1 inch shorter then the standard brick used so after cutting you would have 1/2 inch less mass on each side than the original brick. But all you would have to do if it matters any is put a little more than a skim coat on it using a high heat concrete mix. Not sure it really matters if insulated properly like you are.
Re: Chuck's oven underway NY
Good Luck

RoadRunners Hockey, LLC is headed up by Donald D. Stone, II along with his wife Barbara. They purchased the franchise in May 2009. They have demonstrated their commitment to Topeka by signing a three year lease with a two year option in the Kansas Expocentre and also taking the reins of the Topeka Youth Hockey Association to promote growth of the sport.
The Topeka RoadRunners hockey team is led by Head Coach Scott Langer who brings a lifetime of hockey experience to the table not only as a player, but as an assistant coach and head coach as well. Twenty three players between the ages of 16 - 21 make up the RoadRunners roster.
The players stay with host families, called "billet families". For some, it is their first time away from home as they move toward their dreams. These young men show unrivaled dedication in their pursuit.
The North American Hockey League has grown from a Michigan-based bus league 30 years ago to a league with 24 teams reaching from New York to Washington, to Texas and Alaska. Players join the league in hopes of gaining maximum hockey exposure and the opportunity to succeed. Many players move from the NAHL on to play Division I college hockey and further their educations. The league website is www.nahl.com.
The RoadRunners play all home games at Landon Arena in the Kansas Expocentre. For more information on the facility call (785) 235-1986 or visit www.ksexpo.com.
The RoadRunners play a 60-game schedule with 28 games at home, 28 away and 4 games in the NAHL Showcase, held in Blaine, MN each September. The season extends through March with playoffs commencing in April, culminating with the Robertson Cup in the first week of May.

Need help from owners with 4.7L and superchips
I've had my superchips since february, and have been dealing with superchips pretty much since I bought it to try to eliminate a glitch that my flashpaq 3865 has. I'm not sure, but I think this only applies to 2nd gen 4.7L's (2008+).
Here's the deal:
When the truck is stock the electric radiator fan almost never comes on (AC turned off). If the AC is on the electric fan will come on, it is supposed to. But when the AC is off, I've never heard the electric fan turn on when the engine is under 205 deg F. If you go and tune your truck with the superchips the fan settings are screwed up (even if you select them to be stock). Apparently there is a glitch in the fan settings with the superchips. It says stock is: low 118 deg, med 118 deg, high 222 deg. I think our fans are only one speed. With the truck tuned the fan basically runs constantly.
Superchips sent me an update last week and I just tried it out yesterday and seems that it didn't change anything. I just want to see if any of the others that have the superchips have the same problems....?
Of course you know I have a 2006 but I don't think I have this problem....atleast that I have noticed, lol. Sorry I can't offer more but maybe that helps to confirm that it is isolated to the second gens.
How did you notice this? Does it make enough noise that you heard the difference?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the first 4.7L engines did not have an electric fan....don't know though as I don't have a first gen 4.7L...
I didn't notice at first because I just did a quick tune....drove for a week or so then after that I did an advanced tune and noticed it said the stock fan settings were: low 118, med 118, high 222, and I knew that was wrong. I then tuned it to stock and never heard the fan. Then did another quick tune and heard the fan. They took my truck for a day and acknowledged there was a glitch, just haven't been able to get a fix yet...
I just put mine in last week and have only driven it a couple of times, so I haven't noticed. I will pay attention next time and see if the fan is running. I did the Performance tune for 91 octane gas. Thanks for the heads up. I'll post again tomorrow or Friday. I usually drive my Honda Accord to work as it get twice the gas mileage and I live 35 miles from work.
Thanks greybeard, would love to hear how yours operates...
I'm running the Superchips tuner on my truck as well but I haven't paid any attention to see if the fan is running. I was pleased with it's results. I will listen closer and see if I hear anything odd.
I've been working with superchips all year and they finally got an update this week(or last? can't remember....) that fixed the issue. They sent me the update specifically, so I don't think it's gone through to all users yet, but in a few weeks or month or so I'd guess that if you update your tuner it will be fixed.
I'm running an '02 Ram with the 4.7, so this issue doesn't apply to me, but I would like to state that I've had my Flashpaq for almost a year now, and have had issues with it since my purchase. My truck is a standard, 5-speed, but when I program the truck, I get the "P R N D 2 1" display underneath my tach. NOT supposed to be there. I was in contact with superchips multiple, and I mean multiple times, and no solution. They kept trying to tell me to update the programmer but it never worked, and then they eventually tried to tell me that I either did a tranny swap, or that I'm running a PCM from an automatic Ram. Neither of which are true. I just wanted to post this and state that I'm not pleased with the product, mostly because of that issue but because I also saw ZERO power or fuel mileage gains. A waste of $350 IMO.
never had any fan issues while running the superchips tuner in any of the power levels

"Ocean acidification will impact the millions of people that depend on seafood and other ocean resources for their livelihoods," said Doney. "Losses of crustaceans, bivalves, their predators, and their habitat in the case of reef-associated fish communities would particularly injure societies that depend heavily on consumption and export of marine resources."
Because changes in seawater chemistry are already apparent and will grow over the next few decades, Cooley and Doney suggest measures that focus on adaptation to future CO2 increases to lessen the impact on marine ecosystems, such as flexible fishery management plans and support for fishing communities.
"Limiting nutrient runoff from land helps coastal ecosystems stay healthy," said Cooley. "Also fishing rules can be adjusted to reduce pressure on valuable species; fisheries managers may set up more marine protected areas, or they may encourage development of new fisheries."

Carl from BOURG, LA – Verified Buyer
Many of the chairs with similar seat heights had arms that would not allow them to slide under low tables. These go great with an adjustable height table currently set at 12". They arrive fully assembled and are very sturdy. Very pleased with my purchase, and my 15 month old daughter loves them.

Counter-Strike X
The project began on the 23rd of June, 2009. I grew tired of playing the same game over and over - Warcraft III DOTA, short for Defense of the Ancients. My friends on the other hand, just couldn't seem to get enough ot it.
I needed an escape. At least, some kind of game to mix lan parties up a bit. You can't seriously expect a normal, healthy human being to play the same game - let alone, the same map - over and over for 5 to 6 hours straight, can you?
(Alright, well maybe those guys can..)
Anyhow..the choice in other games was pretty limited. DOTA is a real time strategy game so that meant finding a game in a different genre..fps? rpg? tbs? Furthermore, not all our computers were top-notch. The best game some of the guys could play was pretty much Warcraft III.
So I decided that the old, classic Counter-strike 1.6 was a safe bet - everyone had played it before and I was certain that even the cheapest bastards who couldn't afford a good computer could handle it! The only problem was how to get them to return to such an outdated game.
And so I pondered. Counter-strike is a game where players pick a team to shoot the other team dead. There are objectives in the maps to mix things up a bit, like rescuing hostages or planting explosives, but ultimately it's all about killing people. At least DOTA had a bit more strategy involved - levelling up your hero, selecting which abilities and spells to upgrade, and purchasing items to defeat the enemy. And that was when it hit me. I needed those same elements in Counter-strike.
I recalled the days long past when I used to watch a friend play a Warcraft III mod for Counter-strike online. You could select from 4 different races or 4 different heroes: Undead, Human, Orc, Night Elf, Shadow Hunter, Warden, Blood Mage, or Crypt Lord. Each race/hero has their own special abilities, which are selectable on levelling. You level up when you gain enough experience and to gain experience, you either have to kill enemies, complete map objectives or have your team win the round. There are items for purchase, which you trade in money for.
I decided to look it up. That small little idea had me reading up on just about everything. The next thing I knew, I was learning about servers and administrators, scripts and codes, modules and plugins. I was lost in the sea of knowledge.
Fast forward to the 3rd of September, 2009, and I had ended up with something far greater than I could have ever possibly imagined.. I had created a monster.
Please Note!
This page was written on the 2nd of December, 2009, in regards to CSX version 2.4. The mod has been improved since, so what you seeing and reading here is an old and watered-down version of the current CSX. (Click here to visit the new CSX website)
Nine races to choose from:
- Undead Scourge
- Human Alliance
- Orcish Horde
- Night Elves of Kalimdor
- Halfling Folk
- High Elves of Terra
- Order of the Magi
- Demons of the Crypt
- Ghosts of the Abyss
Items (revamped from original):
- Ankh of Reincarnation
- Boots of Speed
- Blades of Attack
- Planewalker's Cloak
- Mask of Death
- Linken's Sphere
- Cranium Basher
- Vitality Booster
- Tome of Experience
- Scroll of Respawning
- Mole Protectant
- Helm of Iron Will
- Amulet of the Cat
- Boots of Elvenskin
- Refresher Orb
- Ring of Regeneration +1
- Chameleon
- Mole
Game Physics
Weapons dropped onto the ground now obey proper physics. Weapons won't simply drop at your feet flat like a brick but will now drop at the inclined angle, clattering to a halt.
Weapons on the ground are now displayed at the proper angle - a glitch in the original CS caused them to sink into any ramps/slopes/stairs, making it look like gun barrels sticking out of the ground. This will make weapons lie flat on any slant.
Reloading your gun will have to wait - you'll need to use the most of the clip already loaded in the gun otherwise lose the remaining bullets. This enhances the realism to a new level - seen in games such as the battlefield series.
Flashbangs now deafen as well as blind. The deaf effect lasts several seconds, after which a piercing concussion-like sound brings your hearing back into the game. This is identical to the one in CS:Source. (I'm proud to say that this was my own personal code and one of my greatest feats. Though I'm unable to reproduce the blurred vision from Source, I'm pretty much satisfied just having the deaf effect mastered.)
Game play
Like CS Source, guns are automatically loaded with ammo on purchase, freeing you from that repetitive and tedious act of buying ammo.
On round end, you'll no longer need to reload for the new round. Your half-empty gun will be fully loaded without any cost at the start of the next round.
Fun Stuff
New Knives - Over 60 knives are available at the press of a button. Select the one which best suits you. Knives come with custom sounds and animations.
Like a challenge? I've created some monstrous bots in the game - I call them my Godlike bots. By typing 2 words into the console, you have a bot with a LOT of hp, extra speed and a knife. He will charge at enemies with a knife and only a knife. But if you piss him off too long, he'll bring out his big gun. You can tell which bot is the godlike one just by their special player skin.

The results are in from our Pledge Your Sports Allegiance poll.
First of all, I want to thank all of the people who responded to this poll. Even the person who used the poll to suggest that organized sports get too much attention and "contributes to American obesity." It shows that people cared enough to take the time to fill out the questionnaire and send it to me.
Secondly, I'd like to say that the results were enlightening, if not a bit contradictory " especially when it came to views about our minor league teams. Read on, and you will see what I mean.
1. What level of sports do you follow most closely?
It shouldn't come as any surprise that the level most people follow closely around here is the major leagues. Perhaps it's because major league sports coverage is everywhere " from daily newspapers to cable sportscasts. You can't escape the latest New York Yankees score, even if you tried.
After the major leagues, area colleges received the next highest vote total, followed by high school sports and then minor league sports. I can't say I'm surprised about those results either, since our local minor league teams haven't done a lot over the last several years to grab the headlines on a regular basis. Still, it would be nice to see people become more passionate about our minor league teams so we don't wind up losing them (more on that later).
2. What was the greatest Capital District sports event of the last 30 years?
Let's jump on the big yellow school bus with the Sackatoga Stables gang, because Funny Cide wins this category. The "gallant gelding" born and raised outside Saratoga Springs claimed more votes than Siena's historic 1989 NCAA Tournament victory over Stanford and the Albany Firebirds winning the 1999 Arena Bowl in front of a sellout crowd at the Times Union Center on national TV. I guess the Kentucky Derby is still the granddaddy of all sporting events.

Homemade Cornbread Stuffing
|Corn bread
|Cremini mushroom dressing
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|Red pepper
|1 (Organic)
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (Sweet Italian And Spicy Italian Sausages)
|1 Tablespoon
|Chicken broth
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|3 1⁄2 Tablespoon (Use Fresh)
|1 Tablespoon
|To Taste
Take a wide heavy duty pan and take extra virgin olive oil.
Now take some fresh celery and add it to the pan.
Take 1 ½ cup organic onion, 1 cup organic celery and 1 organic red pepper diced up. Throw them all in the pan.
Add kosher salt black pepper, stir that through.
Now we are going to add whole sausages. There are 2 types of sausages one is sweet Italian sausage and other is spicy Italian sausage. You can mince this if you want to.
Cook the sausage and vegetables until they are soft and nice. It will take a few minutes.
After the vegetables are cooked, add an apple. Remove the skin and make small pieces.
Cook the apple for 5 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the pan and keep in a bowl.
Reheat the pan, add some extra virgin olive oil and in goes the cremini mushrooms. Add little salt, freshly crushed pepper.
Let these cook and sauté for about 8-10 minutes.
Now you need to deglaze the pan by adding sherry. Turn off the flame and add sherry. Scrape the bottom of the pan and let it boil to bring out the flavor.
Add the mushrooms to the rest of the dressing mixture.
Chop some fresh sage. Add about 3 ½ tbsp of it to the dressing.
Break the red corn bread and put them right into the dressing. Start some initial combining.
Now we are going to add some low sodium chicken broth about 2 cups broth. We are also going to season it, so add black pepper, a little more kosher salt, mix this well and put it in a rimmed baking container.
Put that in oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes until they are very hot and the corn bread softens up and all the ingredients mixes up.
And this is the best stuffing we have ever tried.

By Elaine Rackley
A Jonesboro woman was arrested Friday, after she was found "disoriented" in the McDonough Walmart.
McDonough police were called to the store, located on Willow Lane, at 2:15 a.m. to investigate why Renee Helms Rawlins, 40, was wondering around in the store.
"I was dispatched to Walmart on a call, for a female walking in a disoriented manner through the store," said McDonough Police officer Ray Sanderson.
The officer was told by authorities that Rawlins had an outstanding warrant, for a charge of financial transaction card fraud, from the Henry County Police Department.
"With intent to defraud the issuer, accused used a financial card (Wachovia) for the purpose of obtaining money [and] goods by presenting the card without the consent of the card holder," states Rawlins' arrest warrant.
Sanderson arrested Rawlins, and took her to the Henry County Jail.
"When transported to jail, while [Rawlins was] being searched, the drugs were located. They found less than one ounce of methamphetamine," said Sanderson.
Later the same day, Henry County Magistrate Court Judge Robert Godwin heard Rawlins' case, and set her bond at $10,050.

History provides us with periods of "group think" — a time when the majority of people come to believe something that is not necessarily true.
For example, in early human history people believed if you sailed out too far you would fall off the earth. As we know today this is not true, but it was politically correct (PC) to believe it for a long time.
For thousands of years, man believed the sun, moon and stars revolved around the earth. In the 17th century, Galileo invented the telescope and proved the earth revolved around the sun. This caused great concern in the church, and he was forced to recant his discovery and was put in jail.
His views, though correct, violated the prevailing PC views.
PC has been around for a long time. Scientific discoveries slowly have replaced the politically correct views of the day. Today, scientific discoveries are outpacing our own knowledge of our world and solar system, so today's political correctness is often seen more in our societal beliefs in which they are much harder to prove right or wrong.
In the 21st century, we have developed many politically correct beliefs. Often, these beliefs do not stand up to close inspection, but are nonetheless considered true.
I'd like to single out just three words that figure in today's PC world for closer examination — multiculturalism, diversity and tolerance.
I call these buzz words because they show up in many of today's social and educational policies.
Multiculturalism is used extensively in our schools to justify some programs and policies.
Multiculturalism was developed by a college professor named James A. Banks. He believed demographic changes in U.S. society increased racial, ethnic, cultural and socio-class diversity in our schools. To Banks, this was a problem.
I take exception to Professor Banks. Our nation has always been a nation of immigrants. The origin of the immigrants changed with time.
Our success at assimilating immigrants was based on the desire of the immigrants to become Americans. We used to talk about America as the "Great Melting Pot," and our currency still carries the inscription "E Pluribus Unum."
The concept of multiculturalism decreases assimilation and divides people.
Professor Banks see it differently. He believes all societies and cultures are equal and should maintain their differences.
First, all cultures and societies are not equal.
Are Nazism, Stalinism, and societies that practice child sacrifice equal to our culture?
Second, the definition of nation is: a stable community of people with a territory, culture and language in common. Mr. Banks is sayings two (culture and language) out of three are not necessary.
The success of advanced societies has brought man from the stone age to where we are today. Multiculturalism, as it is being defined and used, is hurting our students and weakening our nation.
Another commonly used buzz word today is diversity. Everything is better with a diverse group.
I can't accept that.
How is something done better with a group having five different skin colors or speaking five different languages or coming from five different continents or a combination of all the above?
Can a company build a better product by just having a diverse workforce? Not unless each of those diverse individuals possess the necessary skills to build that product. Diversity for the sake of diversity is meaningless.
The third buzz word is tolerance. We are told we must be tolerant of others.
In recent years, the word tolerance has come to have two meanings. In the old meaning you are accepting of the existence of other views, but you might not agree. You have your view of a particular subject, and you agree to disagree with the others.
Here is how one writer summed it up: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That's what tolerance used to mean.
Nowadays, we have a new meaning for tolerance: The acceptance of other views.
That new meaning is completely in disagreement with the older meaning. Does this mean they believe all positions are of equal value? Hardly, but this reminds me of "doublespeak," the new language in the book "1984."
The language would not allow anyone to put together statements or thoughts contrary to what "Big Brother" wanted you to say or think. This is not being open-minded.
Here is an example of the old and new tolerance. You are asked if you think homosexuality is normal. You answer that some people believe it's normal, but you don't. You are then immediately called a homophobe because you didn't agree. Who is tolerant, and who is intolerant?
Our schools have strayed far from their traditional roles in education. Today, social engineering is more important than education.
Schools want to change the behavior of our students and turn them into perfect examples of social justice. They seek equal outcome and equal acceptance of all progressive ideas.
Our progressive schools now say morality is determined by the society — it changes to suite our desires. This is dangerous stuff and leads to chaos.
Take a check and see how those three buzz words are being used in our schools.

My HG mascara so far. I wear this over other mascaras, which I use as a base. Makes my lashes look long and thick, although at first it can be extremely gloopy and thick and it's best after a few uses. I wouldn't use this without my other mascara base because it really wouldn't do anything for me.

I am a huge (HUGE) fan of DiorShow, and I had heard great things about Iconic. When I went to Macy's and they were offering a free Dior eyeshadow quad with your purchase of Iconic I was SOLD.
I am not necessarily disappointed with this mascara, I just don't think I have as much love for it as I do DiorShow, and when this tube runs out I will quickly go back to my fave.
It is a bit more wet than I would like, and it transfers on to my eyelids when I'm applying it sometimes. It's very difficult to get off (even using Lancome remover), and can have a tendency to be a bit more spidery than DiorShow- but I think that's just a bi-product of it being a "wet" mascara.
The length and thickness that it gives are impressive, though. By wiggling the brush from base to tips, and applying two coats, it can look like I'm wearing falsies! (no clumps!)
All in all a pretty great product. It just doesn't blow me away ENOUGH to keep me away from my beloved DiorShow for good.

I'm with 'bootsonbarelegs' on this one. I bought the black one and it still isn't dark enough or gives enough volume, plus, it's a pain to remove it. I tried to remove it with Chanel's Biphase eye makeup remover, and I still had racoon eyes when I washed my face after. Not impressed.

I bought this in brown, by mistake, this happens from time to time and I try to make the best of it. A warning, look at the color you're buying! Anyway, this is a good mascara for a "natural" look, especially for me, because I have it in brown, however, the natural mascara look is something I've never been able to understand, why buy mascara in the first place if all you want is a "natural" look, BORING! I believe that eyelashes are one of the few makeup steps in your routine you can't overdo, lashes can't be TOO long, or TOO full, its just ridiculous, so when I look for a mascara, I'd want it to deliver in the best way possible, I don't want to settle for some average lashes, especially for 30+$$. Overall, I've been pretty unimpressed with all the Diorshows.

I am always looking for a better mascara and I get tempted to try out many. I read good reviews here and decided to give it a shot. I find this mascara alright. Does an okay job at lengthening, nothing for volume, and it defines your lashes. You basically can't clump your lashes unless you put on a dozen coats of this stuff. If you use it for your bottom lashes, be prepared for raccoon eyes. This is a decent mascara if you're looking for the natural look. I am not going to purchase it again though.

I had been using Diorshow and absolutely loved it so i decided to try this one. Iconic is nowhere near as good as the original, it did build up nice volume, but i found it clumpy and really spidery looking. I ended up having to throw it out as the bristles on the brush seemed to kinda flatten so in the end i had no way of even putting my mascara on properly! Did this happen to anyone else??

The selling point for me with DiorShow Iconic was that it claims to curl. Heck, I will take a gentle lift, that's all I ask for! Unfortunately, Iconic didn't even deliver a tiny bit of that. In other aspects it's a great mascara - separates and defines, doesn't clump, gives lots of length and decent volume, gorgeous luxe packaging. However, I can achieve the same with several drugstore mascaras (my favourites being Full n Soft and Glam Eyes). At this price, it would only be worth it if I could skip the eyelash curler, and that's not happening. Otherwise, great all-around mascara.

HG product to the fullest. I LOVE this mascara. I originally purchased it when my regular mascara [ which was Estee Lauder Double Wear ] ran out and this one was brand new to the Dior family.
It really does curl BUT it takes time. I've found that when you get slowly go up from root to tip and wiggle slightly to seperate, it curls to an extent. [ which depends on the true length of you lashes ]
The price sucks lol. I mean, when I told my mom how much I paid, she wanted to kill me, but I think she understands how much it does now... I think.
Nonetheless, this does what it does, doesn't make lashes feel heavy or clumpy and makes it stand out beautifully. If the price was the same as say, my Estee Lauder one, I'd like this a bit more. But not that much more [;

This is my HG mascara. I have used a ton of different mascaras but this is the only one that has never flaked or smudged and I live in a humid area. The only complaint I have is that is kind of hard to remove. For reference I like Supernova and dislike Lancome mascaras.

For those of you who love this, take note. I've been using this for over a year and I LOVED it at first too. Beautiful long and curled lashes!!! Just what it says. HOWEVER, after months of use I noticed my lashes falling out and what was left was brittle and thin. It was the mascara. Hard to take off and very dry. It's almost like waterproof mascara which I never use for the simple reason of how hard it is to take off. Trust me, after using it for awhile you too will not consider it so great. I'll stick to something a little easier to remove!!
