35 year old man | Crestview, FL, USA | Seeking women 25-34 within 50 miles
Looking to chat and get to know someone and if more happens then that is great.
You know, nice guys do finish last. Probably because we aren't out partying so hard at the bars/clubs looking for one nighters. Nice guys are holding a great and steady job and financially planning for our future. I'm looking for someone who is attractive, funny and has a half full glass attitude. Someone that sees the person and not just the outside package. I like to go out just as much as staying home to watch tv. I love to paint, it is a new hobby and want to travel and see new vacation spots. I am a romantic and love to be chivalrous. Why not spoil someone and put them on your pedestal. I want someone that is somewhat independent. I like to hold hands or feel her arms around me. I love giving massages. I love finding new restaurants and occasionally cooking fancy food. I love all sports and especially Auburn football. I spent the last 9 years in Memphis, TN and love to explore the area with someone new. I like to watch sports live but can sit next to someone on the couch and yell at the tv also. I love my job and try every day to help someone learn something new. I strive to make my company better, one day at a time. With that dedication, I will continue to move up and hope to run my own restaurant. I like a lady who can be just as attractive with little makeup in a tshirt and sweatpants on a Saturday morning, as she is on a fancy date. Im looking for someone who likes a little adventure every now and then, and also doesn't mind spontaneity. At first I want to meet someone to chat and maybe go to the zoo or the beach to get to know you first and then go from there. I have a busy work schedule that I no longer do the bar scene or no longer in school to meet someone. I don't do the bar scenes for that one night stand. If you're still reading send me an email.

I love Buffalo Wild Wings, Hueys and any sports events.
My all time favorite music is jazz, Glenn Miller. But I love 90% of all music...from sacred chant all the way R&B/some Rap.
Well in my free time I like to paint. I just started painting May 2011. I am very artistic and have always been. I love music.

It's been more than a year since the Pennsylvania Dream Act was introduced in the state Senate, and Tuesday it remains in committee.
So to help motivate legislators to move forward, pro-immigrant groups and Dreamers gathered inside the state's capitol to send them a reminder.
"Each time we come for legislative visits were told it's going to move, it's going to move, but we see a lot of talk and not a lot of action. So we're just here to remind them there are people that would actually benefit from this bill and they can't wait," said Jorge Salazar with the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition.
Currently, undocumented students must pay out-of-state tuition and aren't able to apply for financial aid.
If passed, the Pennsylvania Dream Act would allow those students to pay in-state tuition, possibly saving families thousands of dollars, but critics are concerned about what it would cost the state.
Regardless, activists say they at least want the bill out of committee so that lawmakers can finally vote on it.
Sixteen other states have passed similar bills including our neighbors Maryland and, more recently, New Jersey.

tkamiya. The drum option might be your best bet.
Richard Henry did fairly extensive densitometric testing of Dektol at various dilutions, development times with factorial development etc. At dilutions greater than 1+2 dmax began to fall off even with increased development time and there was increasing compression of all densities > approx 1.5. Further, development times greater than 8 minutes tended to cause fogging problems. Granted, these tests were with Ilfobrom in the 80s, but still probably directionally useful.

Yesterday I tried my hands on the freeware game trackmania nations
forever.Well the game was really cool...It has these all sorts of
bizarre gravity defying tracks where the only thing that's stopping you
is your own ability.The game lets you race past the track at speeds of
500km an hour and you can do some cool stunts too.I had played it
before but didn't have a lot of gold medals.So I decided to get my
hands on some gold.I raced through some really crazy tracks and got my
tally of total medals upto 81.
Then I decided to try to create a
track with it's inbuilt track creator.I had created a small track with
it's simple interface.So I decided to check the advanced version of
their track creator.Awesome is one word in which I can describe it.With
this tool I could create tracks similar to the ones that were created
by the developers.I started by creating a medium sized track but I
wanted to check if it works fine under the wheel & tat's the best
part.With the press of a Enter button I could instantly race through
the track to see if all elements were put in the right place.After
testing for some 5 or 6 times I got myself a new map but I havent added
the timings of AI racers.But since I wanted to play quake 3 I decided
to save it and do the rest of the stuff after getting some frags in Q3.
game is really good, but what got me really into it is the track
editor.Well g2g bcoz I have a track waiting for a date with me.

Inspiring Academics draws on the experience and expertise of award-winning university teachers to help identify the approaches and strategies that lead to exemplary teaching practice. It is structured around five core themes: inspiring teaching, developing quality curricula, assessment for independent learning, student development and scholarship. Whilst celebrating individual teaching success, the book draws out core strategies which can be developed and replicated by others and which are not simply dependent on personal charisma and dynamism. Contributors reflect on approaches and initiatives that did not work for them, thus highlighting the inherent messiness and complexity of teaching and the difficulties of providing a blueprint for success.

Call of Duty: World at War producer insulted by Infinity Ward employee
There is a war brewing between an Infinity Ward employee and the senior producer of Call of Duty: World at War. The community manager for Infinity Ward had a few nasty things to say about the senior producer. Apparently, he is angry about the constant references being made about Call of Duty 4 in recent interviews.
Robert Bowling, community manager for Infinity Ward had some harsh criticism towards Noah Heller, the senior producer for Activision. Heller, is also the senior producer for Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War. Bowling, on his IAMfourzerotwo blog, criticized Heller on his recent interviews. Bowling rebuked Heller for making constant references to Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4 and comparing it to Treyarch's latest Call of Duty: World at War.
Apparently, Heller made some comments in a recent interview where he criticized past Call of Duty games for not having accurate weapons damage.
According to Bowling, Heller made this comment in a recent CVG interview:
"In the previous Call of Duties it might take three or four shots from a bolt action rifle,†he explained. "We made sure that a single shot center mass would kill that opponent because that's the expectation of the player.â€
In response to that comment, Bowling states:
WTF are you talking about?! "in previous Call of Dutys blah blah blahâ€. First of all, you didn't work on "previous Call of Dutysâ€, so don't talk as if you're down with how / why things were designed the way they were. Second, you're completely f****** wrong.
Bolt Action rifles are one hit kills in every Call of Duty we (Infinity Ward) made!!
Bowling also commented that Heller should stop talking about Infinity Ward's game and talk more about Treyarch's game. Bowling then goes on to call Heller a "Senior Super Douche Noah Heller." It is not known if these comments were made in jest, or if there is animosity between the two.
A commenter on the blog remarked that Bowling should take it up quietly with the boss instead of ranting about it on a public site. Surprisingly, Bowling responded back by stating, "Trust me, this frustration comes only after repeated requests throughout their entire marketing campaign."
It seems as though there definitely might be some friction going on between the two in regards to the marketing campaign. It is also interesting to note that in Bowling's profile it states "Douchebags" as one of the "Things I hate." I wonder how Bowling feels about Heller?

The "Mosque of the Truncated Minaret" on Hıdarlık Sokak, a few blocks east of Hadrian's Gate, was once the city's cathedral and dedicated to the Virgin. It was probably built in the 5th century AD and later converted to a mosque. It's usually locked, but you can get a good look from the outside.

If money's tight, take the heads to a competent auto engine overhauling shop with CC Products guides and new exhaust valves in hand and specify 1.5mm valve seating surfaces. (iirc?)
Better double check that spec.
edit: or wait until you can afford to send them to a motorcycle head specialist like Randy Long.
I agree. I too would have real serious reservations about your servicing your heads unless you're familiar with doing that kind of work on Airheads and are in possession of the right tools. Airheads engines aren't that complex but the work does need to be done correctly. (In the German sense of the word!)
As far as having them done at a non-BMW specific shop, you might inquire at whatever shop builds race car heads in your neighborhood. In my town, the local hot rod head shop does heads for all of the MC shops, including those specializing in Beemers. The work is first rate and there are real savings in using them.

Give it some time to get more data. And, who knows - you just might stumble across some low-mile or recently rebuilt heads for a song. These bikes are actually pretty rugged and have travelled loooong distances with worse troubles.
Don't worry yourself into a dither before you really know if something needs attention. Ok?
Also, I wouldn't consider doing my own heads even though I do most everything else. It's one of those things bordering on art and can trash an engine all too quickly if not done right. Especially the seats! Don't even consider them!
More data? Absolutely! But beyond that, I'd do a visual inspection of those exhaust valves and I'd continue to look at em on a regular basis. Remember, I said look! The last couple of millimeters of valve frequently disappears very quickly (JAMHIK!) and if you drop a valve, the costs of repairs are going to skyrocket.
Also +1 on finding a set of good used heads. Keep your eyes open and good luck!
Heres a severely recessed exhaust valve:

Heres the valve that might have lasted another 1K miles:

Beautiful décor is the icing on the cake for this newly remodeled hotel. Tiled bathrooms and pillow top mattresses combined with spacious closets and effective kitchenettes created a down-home luxurious feeling. Easily accessible from the parking lot, the room's manually locked doors allowed you to enter your home-away from home. In addition to all the typical amenities of vending and Wi-Fi, the beautifully tailored grounds were punctuated by a pool, Jacuzzi and fire pit. This affordable hotel had a feeling of opulence that doesn't break the bank.
That I had to leave!
the room is very beautiful and comfort. The front desk is very helpful. My families love this place very much!

The Republican-Tea Party government shutdown is far worse than Scott Walker appointing cronies with no veteran advocacy experience to non-profits only do watch as his cronies embezzle $10,000s.
From the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
Americans are starting to grasp the full impact of the federal
government shutdown on veterans and troops. Today, Secretary of Veterans
Affairs Eric Shinseki appeared before the House Committee on Veterans
Affairs to discuss the impact of the shutdown on veterans. In his
testimony, he said that if the shutdown continues, veterans won't
receive disability and GI Bill benefits on November 1.
The hearing also included testimony
from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, which called for
Washington to end the shutdown that has a damaging effect on veterans
and troops. IAVA continues to call for an end to the shutdown, and
clarity for those veterans trapped in the uncertainty of how the
shutdown will continue to affect their benefits and services. IAVA has
launched a Change.org petition calling for Washington to put a stop to the political games and ensure that veterans get the care they need:
"Veterans are hurting and are tired of being used as political chew
toys, said IAVA CEO and Founder Paul Rieckhoff. "They need Washington to
end the shutdown so they can receive and benefit from the services and
support they have earned. But until the government re-opens, our
veterans deserve clear, reliable, and accurate information."

Wind Turbine Data Analysis
This demo analyzes wind data measured on a meteorological observation tower to see if the location is a good prospect for a wind turbine. Data is from three different wind sensors at 80m. Temperature is also recorded at 3m height. Data is logged every hour.
Read in Turbine Data from Text File
% Function autogenerated from import tool filename = 'winddata.txt'; importWindData;
Visualize Wind Speed and Temperature
figure; plot(time, [velS1, velS2, velS3]) datetick('x', 'mmm-yy') ylabel('wind velocity at 80m (m/s)') title(['Wind Data from ', filename]) figure; plot(time, tempS, 'r') datetick('x', 'mmm-yy') ylabel('temperature (\circC)') title(['Temperature Data from ', filename])
Average Wind Speed for Different Sensors
velAvg = mean([velS1, velS2, velS3], 2);
Determine Icing Conditions
Remove any readings effected by icing which results in extremely inaccurate values biased towards zero. Icing conditions are when tavg < tIce and vavg < vIce.
tIce = 2; vIce = 1; % Comparing to the critical values idxTIce = tempS < tIce; idxVIce = velAvg < vIce; idxIce = idxTIce & idxVIce ; % Plotting when icing occurs figure; plot(time, tempS); hold on plot(time(idxIce), tempS(idxIce), 'r*'); datetick('x', 'mmm-yy') ylabel('temperature (\circC)') title (['Removed Readings from ', filename, ' due to Icing']) % Remove values related to icing time(idxIce) = []; tempS(idxIce) = []; velAvg(idxIce) = [];
Distribution of Wind Speeds at Hub Height
Use a weibull distribution to fit the distribution of wind speeds which is known to often give a good fit to wind speed distributions.
% Plotting a histogram of wind speeds dv = 0.5; vbins = 0:dv:ceil(max(velAvg)); % Plotting a histogram of wind speeds figure; hist(velAvg, vbins); xlabel('wind velocity (m/s)'); ylabel('count'); % Calculate probability of wind speed range nelements = hist(velAvg, vbins); probvbins = nelements/sum(nelements); % Probability of a given velocity range
Defining the Turbine Power Curve
To calculate average turbine power and capacity factor, we need to make some assumptions regarding the wind turbine model and its power curve. We will assume a 1MW wind turbine and the following turbine power curve.
% Turbine power curve coefficents prated = 1e6; % wind turbine rated power (W) vin = 2; % cut-in speed (m/s) vr = 14; % rated output speed (m/s) vout = 25; % cut-out speed (m/s) % Calculating power curve powervbins = prated*(vbins.^2 - vin^2)/(vr^2 - vin^2); powervbins(vbins <= vin) = 0; powervbins(vbins > vout) = 0; powervbins(vbins >= vr & vbins <= vout) = prated; % Plotting power curve figure; plot(vbins, powervbins, '*') xlabel('velocity (m/s)'); ylabel('turbine power (W)'); title('Turbine Power Curve')
Calculating Average Turbine Power and Capacity Factor
Capacity factor is ratio of the actual output of a turbine over a period of time and its potential output if it had operated at full capacity the entire time. Typical capacity factor range from 20-–50% depending on location and wind turbine.
% Integrate power at given velocity * velocity probability distribution % function over range of possible velocities % Calculate average power by summing the products of vel probability and power avgPower = sum(probvbins .* powervbins); % (W) % Calculating capacity factor (average power / rated power) cf = avgPower / prated; disp(['Assumed wind turbine rated power (MW): ', num2str(prated/1e6)]); disp(['Averaged turbine power (kW): ', num2str(avgPower/1e3)]); disp(['Capacity factor (%): ', num2str(cf*100)]);
Assumed wind turbine rated power (MW): 1 Averaged turbine power (kW): 270.5152 Capacity factor (%): 27.0515

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 4/30/13
The Minnesota Twins are rolling out a unique lineup Tuesday, already their 13th different batting order of the young season. Infielder Eduardo Escobar is in the leadoff spot for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The Twins used Aaron Hicks in the leadoff spot for the first week and a half before slotting Brian Dozier into that spot. Dozier had been hitting well in the top spot of the order, as he is batting .324 with four RBI in nine games as the leadoff hitter. He was not in the lineup Tuesday, however, as Escobar got the nod atop the batting order. Escobar has been one of Minnesota's best hitters early on. In 15 games (32 at-bats), he's hitting .438 and slugging .625 with a double, a triple and a home run. He's also driven in five runs. Meanwhile, Wilkin Ramirez gets the start in center field in place of Hicks and is batting eighth in the lineup. Until Tuesday, Hicks had played center field in all but two of Minnesota's games, with Darin Mastroianni ge...

It's official: Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be the Chairman of the House Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology when the 112th Congress convenes in January. Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, who is slated to be the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, of which the Monetary Policy Subcommittee is a part, announced Paul's appointment as chairman of that subcommittee on December 9.
House Passes Continuing ResolutionWritten by Raven Clabough
On Wednesday night, the United States House of Representatives approved a $1.1 trillion continuing resolution (CR) that will fund the federal government through September 30, 2011. A Continuing Resolution was Congress' last resort as it failed to pass any of the 12 appropriations bills for fiscal year 2011, as well as a budget resolution.
Judge Porteous Is HistoryWritten by Bob Adelmann
Federal Judge Thomas Porteous is only the eighth federal judge to be impeached, convicted, and removed from office since the founding of the Republic. And for a while there, the decision appeared to be too close to call.
Ron Paul's Big DayWritten by Michael Tennant
Will Tuesday be Ron Paul's big day? Robert Wenzel of EconomicPolicyJournal.com thinks so, as does Paul confidant Lew Rockwell. On December 7 the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is scheduled to announce the chairmen of various committees and subcommittees, including the Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, of which the Texas congressman is currently the ranking Republican member.
Remember that clause in the Constitution that gives the federal government the authority to regulate school bake sales? Even if you don't, Congress does. The House of Representatives just passed a $4.5 billion bill that, among other things, authorizes the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set nutrition guidelines for all foods sold in a school building during school hours — and that includes "bake sales and pizza fundraisers," according to CalorieLab.com. (If pressed, elected officials would undoubtedly note that such sales can affect interstate commerce since students buying cupcakes at school would no longer be buying them from Hostess, thus providing an opening for Congress to regulate these activities.)

Update: Personality Tets Results Jul-21-13 "totaly hit the nail on the head ;-)" As a Director [Your primary type] You are interested in how things work. You are very logical and direct, and you tend to be goal-oriented. You like to focus narrowly and deeply on something specific. Because you like to get right to the point, you can come across as outspoken or even blunt. You tend to make decisions quickly and can be very ingenious at problem solving. You probably like working on your own, and you can be very competitive. You desire knowledge for its own sake and you place a premium on achievement, which can lead to focusing too much on work. Instead of building a large circle of friends, you generally have a few friends who are very close. You prefer to talk about thoughts and ideas instead of feelings. You can ignore the day-to-day ordinariness of life and concentrate on its challenges and mysteries. -As a Director, you can be: Decisive Competitive Focused Self disciplined Analytical Independent Logical Direct When you add Explorer [Your secondary type] You tend to be curious and creative, optimistic and generous.

You also like a partner who is imaginative and intuitive and not competitive with you. And because you can be oblivious to rules and schedules, your partner must be flexible.

You also like someone who is spontaneous, even mischievous, as well as a mate who can appreciate your rugged individualism and support of your drive to succeed.

Concierge is knowledge of the area. Front Desk staff was pleasant.
No agent on duty when I went to check out at 6:10 AM. Left my key on the desk so he/she would know I stopped by. One waiter preping tables for breakfast. One F&B female at the ice machine. Only 26 parking spaces for hotel..?

Good location
Sour unhappy overworked staff, guest must wait in long lines to get "processed", VERY difficult to get parking, think walls, thermostats modified so no heat in rooms (40F outside one night - Feb) - just overall a miserable and overpriced place to be.

Charlie Crist has lost his race for governor in Florida, falling short to Republican incumbent Rick Scott, the Associated Press projects.
Crist, who ran this year as a Democrat, won his first bid for governor in 2006 as a Republican. He left the GOP in 2010 in the midst of losing a Republican primary for U.S. Senate to Marco Rubio, running and losing in the general election as an independent.
Scott was first elected governor in 2010.
The VA story is still unfolding and the consensus seems to be that it will be with us for a while. Which makes the eagerness of some not-in-office political hacks to wade in all the more unseemly.

A new poll shows Florida Republican governor Rick Scott behind his most likely opponent, Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist, by 10 points. The Quinnipiac poll of registered voters found 48 percent support Crist while 38 percent support Scott. Scott's fortunes would improve if he ran against former Democratic state senator Nan Rich, who polls 36 percent to the Republican's 42 percent.
Charlie Crist, the former governor of Florida who lost a race for U.S. Senate in 2010, has a new ad that looks a lot like a campaign ad. Watch the video below:
Late last night, the former Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, announced on Twitter that he had officially joined the Democratic Party:
Proud and honored to join the Democratic Party in the home of President @barackobama! twitter.com/charliecristfl…

THE SCRAPBOOK was startled to receive this press release a few hours ago:
St. Petersburg, Fla.Tony DiMatteo, a state Republican party committeeman from Pinellas County, introduces to a packed house at the Tick Tock restaurant a number of local GOP activists here to support Newt Gingrich. Included are a few who worked early for Marco Rubio's 2010 U.S. Senate campaign, back when, DiMatteo points out, Rubio "could not win."
"Just like Newt could not win a couple of weeks ago," he adds.
Via Moe Lane, I think it's best to let the schadenfreude wash over you like a warm breeze on a Caribbean island. Go ahead and savor this one, people:
In case you were wondering if Charlie Crist's and Bill Clinton's last minute antics might shake up the Florida Senate race, Mason-Dixon says the answer is no:
Marco Rubio has built a "commanding and insurmountable'' lead in Florida's three-way Senate race, a new poll has found -- even without the latest political machinations in the race.
Marco Rubio has built a "commanding and insurmountable'' lead in Florida's three-way Senate race, a new poll has found -- even without the latest political machinations in the race.
On two occasions over the past week, former president Bill Clinton attempted to persuade Democratic congressman Kendrick Meek to drop out of the Florida Senate race and endorse Republican-turned-Independent Florida governor Charlie Crist in the three-way contest. Clinton, who had campaigned for Meek twice in October, was acting with the knowledge – and presumably the blessing – of the Obama White House.
The Miami Herald endorses Marco Rubio:
An articulate defender of belt-tightening, Mr. Rubio's energetic campaign and insurgent candidacy capitalized on voters' anti-Washington mood and changed the race's political dynamics.

Another poll shows Marco Rubio sitting pretty with a double digit lead over Charlie Crist. As for the rumors that Meek might drop out and endorse Crist and turn this into a real race? Left-wing blogger Markos Moulitsas, who had been pushing for Meek to do just that, now says that Democrats "are actively boosting" Meek's "pretty much a hopeless candidacy" because Meek will help boost African-American turnout, and thereby help Democrats win the critical Florida's governor's race. Moulitsas's new line is a sign that Democrats don't think they have much of a shot of winning even if Meek endorsed Crist.
A new Rasmussen poll shows Marco Rubio getting 50%, with Charlie Crist and Kendrick Meek trailing far behind at 25% and 19%, repsectively.
Via Drudge, Charlie Crist tries to impress the public in Tampa Bay but utterly fails by throwing a wild pitch far to the (catcher's) left:
Yes, I think there's a metaphor in there. But maybe Crist's just trying to endear himself to Obama?
