I believe in love.... The forever and ever kind
I really enjoy being outdoors. I like to run, bike, swim. I even did a few triathlons before I had my kids. I would love to do them again. I've been eyeballing Tough Mudder and Spartan races as well. During the winter, I got into Team Beachbody Workouts; Think P90x, Insanity. I even started coaching on the side for them. Think you can keep up? ;-) I am very playful; enjoying a flirtatious wrestling match or some witty banter. I am extremely loyal to those I care about. My friends tell me that I am very calm and easy to be around. I am a good communicator and listener. I will always want you to feel free to express yourself. Your feelings will always be important to me. If there is anythink else you'd like to know, just ask....

The beach..any beach, I love the water. The most beautiful beaches I have been to are in the Dominican Republic. St. John's. Barcelona... If in the City, any oyster bar or steak house will do, love both

My kids, the water (did I say that yet???). Chocolate. A nice meal with a glass of wine. Tapas. True Blood
My favorite thing to do is hang out with my kids. Anything outdoors including running, hiking, fishing (did it every summer as a kid and can't wait til mine are old enough), going to the beach. I love being by the water.

Taking an innovative approach to large-cap investing, the Fund combines active and passive management in S&P 500 derivatives, such as futures and swaps, collateralized by an actively managed portfolio of long-term bonds. The strategy offers broad participation in the growth potential of U.S. stocks, potential diversification benefits and access to PIMCO's expertise in seeking positive excess return.
A traditional index fund typically invests in all, or a representative sample, of the stocks in an index in an effort to replicate the return of the index. PIMCO StocksPLUS Long Duration Fund seeks to outperform the index by employing a unique, bond-centric strategy. It does this by purchasing low-cost S&P 500 derivatives and backing this exposure with an actively managed portfolio of diversified long-duration bonds.
The fund offers the combined benefit of PIMCO's 40 years of active bond management and two decades of passive, index-linked investment expertise.
The Fund can serve as a strong core equity choice in an overall portfolio, complementing both fixed income holdings and traditional equity investments.
Mr. Rodosky is a managing director in the Newport Beach office and a portfolio manager covering Treasury bonds, agencies and futures. He is the lead portfolio manager for long duration strategies.

Richelieu: "Bring Me the Head of Mike Huckabee"
9:29 AM, Nov 21, 2007 • By RICHELIEU
As predicted here, two new Iowa polls show Mike Huckabee in position to upset Mitt Romney. Talk about standing on Superman's cape. Huckabee is doing it partially by taking votes Fred Thompson needs to have any hope of getting out of Iowa with a viable campaign. So Fred has a problem too. I'm sure many nasty minds are at work this a.m. pondering how to put a karate chop of their own on Huckabee's campaign. No surprise Huck just hired a rapid response guy; he's gonna need one.
Look for mail, ads, phones, and the like to pour down on Huckabee soon. Along with this will come a much tougher media examination. Reporters are taking a hard look at the jovial governor, and he's probably going to wish he was trapped in a back alley with an angry Chuck Norris once he gets a taste of how the media portrays candidates who question Darwin and take a hard-core position on social issues.
Can Huckabee actually win? Yes, but it is still a long shot. He'd have to win Iowa, bounce in to New Hampshire and win or place a close second there, then sweep South Carolina and Florida. Hard to do with no money, but he is a good performer. Huckabee will raise more now but, as he does better in the polls, elite party donors and leaders will start asking themselves, "What would happen if we actually nominate this guy?"
My guess is the general conclusion will be Huckabee would be a big anchor in the general election, especially when compared with the chances of a Rudy, McCain, or Romney. Elite checkbooks will not open for that. In fact, dark plotting will begin to slow Huckabee down.
Ol' Huck deserves credit for getting this far, but success brings much higher stakes. The Goober act will have to go back to Mayberry. If Mike Huckabee is serious about winning, he must begin running a serious-minded campaign. He should lose the stupid Chuck Norris cartoons and start acting like a president. Or at least a vice president.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Trina TriceIt's hard to keep up with Joan Burton. The 66-year-old is an avid volunteer and participant at the Shelnutt Senior Center in Jonesboro. She assists with decorating the walls of the building that sits on a hill next to the Clayton County Headquarters Library. "I've been coming here about four years now," Burton said. "There have been different day trips we went on. We come in to play bingo on Tuesdays and Fridays." With nearly 6 percent of Clayton County's population being 65 years or older, the county has sought to improve the quality of life for its seniors with the centers that are a part of the Clayton County Parks and Recreation Department. While the Shelnutt Center has been around for several years, the county opened a new center in Riverdale last year. Called the Clayton County Senior Center, the new facility on Riverdale Road offers a pool and is tucked away from the busy road. Both centers are open to Clayton County residents at least 55 years old. More than 800 people attend the centers on a weekly basis. Several classes are offered at both locations such as Water Tai Chi, Yoga, cooking, pottery, ceramics, swimming, aerobics, and dance, Spanish, window painting, Tai Chi, and ceramics. "They're here like clockwork," said Jean Peters, Shelnutt Center program coordinator. "I think they're here for the social aspect of it, as well as (to take classes)." Richard Inman, 66, works at the Shelnutt Center as a custodian, but even he finds time to make use of the center. Inman spent part of his lunch break Friday working on a jigsaw puzzle. "(Seniors) come ?cause they get to meet the other (seniors) that come here," he said. "They get to communicate with one another. It's better than staying at home all day. They get together and play bingo and cards." Bingo draws some of the largest crowds. The event can draw between 60 and 70 players, Burton said. Linda Starnes, Shelnutt Center office assistant, has observed that seniors like to have a good time just like anyone else. "The larger turnouts are for the dinner-dances," she said. "These seniors love to dance." They also love to eat, says Burton. "You don't see too many skinny Minnies around here," she joked. The catered cafeteria at the Riverdale center draws a lot of people, too, said Ann Weber, program coordinator at the county Senior Center. Burton loves the day trips. "Last week we went to the Justice Banke Center and learned about the jail," she said. Both centers are preparing for an upcoming dinner-dance called Masquerade Ball in October. "Everybody just has a good time," Peters said.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

Set INSTALLS_SHLIB
change the libtool version to use from 1.3 to 1.5
Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by
the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Not sure about this one yet, just took it out of the bag. It?s a very nice technical fit, however, not as form-fitting as I would expect from a technical fleece. The hood is also less ?ninja? than I expected ? more like baggy. I wear a medium in nearly everything, and I?m considering returning it for a small. (175#, 5/11, 41? chest, 31? waist, ordered medium).
After using this jacket for a bit, it has become my favorite piece of clothing i own. paired with a light or medium weight wicking base layer, its an awesome cold/cool running jacket. Vents heat pretty well and stops a touch of wind. the zippers are freaking amazing and the whole build screams comfort. if i could change one thing it would be the fit of the hood. needs to be a little tighter.
Should serve me well as a running jacket and climbing/ skiing layer.

At the Gem, Al is having his meeting with the SFC, Mr. Lee. He has Dan get out two bags of gold, trying to buy the dude off. The SFC stands in silence. Al tells Dan to open the bags, so that the SFC can verify that it's really gold. Surprising everyone, Lee says, in perfect English, "I know. I don't want it." Al gives him an eyebrow. "Anyways," he says, "good meetin' you." Dan shows Lee the door, and Al calls for Wu to come out from where he was hiding behind the bedroom door. Wu says, in his way, that it's obvious the SFC has "juice." Al: "If twenty don't tempt him to converse, you're fuckin'-A right. Maybe you and me should be workin' for him." Wu does the International Sign for Wu-Swedgin Love again, and Al nods, but gives him the brush, as it's been a "long fuckin' day." Dan puts the twenty thousand back in the safe while Al theorizes that Lee, being from San Fran, is connected to Hearst. "You think Hearst and the chink's connected?" Dan asks. "You think he was born," Al answers, "looking down his nose at twenty thousand?"
Back at the Chez Amie, Cy is reviewing the scene, and gagging. Pulling himself together, he tells Wolcott, "Chief fact is, no witnesses are extant." Wolcott worries that Joanie had seen him there. Cy quickly brushes over this, though, saying he needn't worry about her, since she hadn't seen him kill anybody. Cy says he'll take care of the situation, and that Mr. W should go back to the Grand Central, have a meal -- "if you can stand the food" -- and not to worry.
At the hardware store, Bullock is apologizing to Sol for his earlier behavior. He's sorry, he says, for bringing Trixie into it, and especially for calling her what he did. "That wasn't new information to me," Sol reminds him. Bullock self-deprecatingly tells Sol about the rest of the morning. "I searched that idiot Steve out to rebuke him and smack him in the face for...bein' who he was." He points at his own head to indicate what a genius maneuver that was, saying, "The sheriff."
Sol tells him about the meeting with Mrs. G, that she had never mentioned Bullock's name, but that she does want to start the bank and have Sol serve as chief officer. "You'd be a good one," Bullock says, before Sol drops the payload on him: "I got the impression that she might be with child." This time, due to the shock, the clench comes on slow.
Merrick is escorting Mary Stokes out of the hotel dining hall, complaining about the food. "Lot, before God, could make no case for that food," Merrick says. "Lot's wife may have been in that food," Miss Stokes jokes back. Kind of an obvious set-up, but okay. They laugh, heartily, like a couple of nerds in love, arriving at Merrick's office. He opens the door to find the place overturned. Someone has wrecked the joint and, uh...soiled it, to boot. Miss Stokes places her handkerchief over her face and steps back out, and Merrick looks the place over, very upset, as one naturally would be, having their place shat on and all.

YIELD: Makes 10 servings
In large bowl stir together olives, capers, red onion, tomatoes, basil, 3 tablespoons parsley, and olive oil. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and red pepper flakes, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Holding very sharp paring knife at 30-degree angle from fillets, cut 2 diagonal slits through skin and partially into flesh, making slits 1/2 inch apart.
In large heavy skillet over high heat, heat 1/3 cup canola oil until hot but not smoking. Working in 3 batches, sprinkle fillets with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and place skin-side down in hot pan. Saué until skin is rich golden brown, about 3 minutes, lowering heat if necessary to prevent burning. Turn fillets over and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook remaining two batches in same manner, wiping pan clean between batches and starting with fresh oil for each batch.
After removing last batch of fish, pour lemon juice into pan and swirl around to combine with pan juices. Drizzle over fish, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parsley. Garnish with tomato-olive mixture.

7 Keys to Dealing with Difficult People You Love
Will you dare to love?
Will you dare to love?
Be Kind or Be Right? Your mother-in-law takes over your kitchen every time she is in your home, barking orders and insisting on using her recipe for mash potatoes even though everyone knows yours is better. Another glass of wine may soothe your nerves, but it won't do anything to help your relationship with your mother-in-law. Since every relationship has its rough edges, and all of us have our idiosyncrasies, be willing to forgive. Let go of petty surface issues, and that includes who makes the best mashed potatoes. "It's always better to be kind than right," write the Shooks in One Month to Love: Thirty Days to Grow and Deepen Your Closest Relationships.

Save $26.84 when you buy this Tamron 70-300mm . This Value Bundle comes with a Adorama Cleaning Kit, Tiffen 62mm UV Filter, ProOptic Universal Lens Cap Tether and a Tamron 70-300mm .
Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lenswith macro capability of 1:2 that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras.
With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4", enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.
It only took one picture to blow me away. I had read all the reviews on this lens before getting it. This lens has the best image stabilization of any lens I have used to date. Picture quality is spot on. Focus is almost silent. I use it on a Nikon D5200. The only downside to this lens is that it is pretty heavy and it is large. It won't fit in my camera bag when attached to my camera. I got this from Adorama used in excellent Condition. I can find one defect on this lens. Adorama really has excellent service. This is my first purchase from them, and I am impressed. Buy this lens, you will not regret it. It is truly a "Diamond in the Ruff
ok i have a nikon D7000 i use the back button focus well when i use this lens when i hit the back button to bring in to focus the V.C would not kick in so i had to ease down the shutter button to break the plan to make the V.C work and then push the shutter button down to take the photo it was frustrating so i had to change back to normal operation of the shutter button then retrain myself to easy down the shutter to bring into focus and engage the V.C then continue to push it all the way down to snap the photo and it works perfect that way. so if you are having some issue with the V.C not working right and if you are using back button focus change it back to normal use and try it.. i really like this lens and if you are deciding on what 70-300mm lens to get try this one first
The vibration control is excellent. I have been able to capture whisker sharp hand held pictures of animals at 300mm (450mm equivalent for my camera) from as far away as 50 yards. It also has been great for macro type photography. I have some nice pictures of sharply defined insects on flowers and other plants.
I got this lens a week ago and am using it in a bit of a jerry-rigged fashion, since my camera is a Sony NEX 7 which does not have in camera stabilization. The Sony version of this lens would not work for me since it assumes in-camera stabilization. So I bought the Canon version and a Commlite EX-NEX adaptor to attach it to my camera. The lens behaves beautifully. My only issue is with autofocus, which is probably as much due to my configuration as it is to the lens. I find that the lens, in auto focus, more often than I like, tends to search recursively and never resolve to a final setting. So I generally leave it in manual focus and have had good results. The stabilization is very good. That was the main selling point for me after optics. The results are better than what I have gotten with other lenses when out to 300mm. I have had good results with pictures taken as slow as 1/20th of a second. The lens, attached to a NEX 7, does look a bit like a battleship artillery piece attached to a VW beetle, but it works and the feel is good.
I have been using this lense on my Nikon D40 for about 3 yrs with excellant luck, and for the questions of the AF working, the answer is yes. I primarily shoot manual though. I use my camera almost every day. I don't really have negative comments to make, Im sure more expensive lenses work better but for the price, this lense is hard to beat.
Have had this lens about a month and overall I'm quite satisfied. Images are sharp as a tack through all zoom ranges (may drop off slightly at max but not objectionable). Image stabilization is excellent and is better than I expected. Overall operation is smooth and quiet. My only concern (and maybe I'm over-cautious) is that the lens is a bit heavy so it might be wise to hold the camera in such a way as to provide support to prevent any possible wear or damage to the camera coupling. I think this lens would benefit with having a fitted tripod mount. Otherwise I'm quite satisfied, and think this lens is an excellent value for the money.
Although this was a refurbished lens I am very impressed with the overall condition - no evidence of any use at all. Delivery was quick and the packing was excellent. So far I'm liking the lens performance. The focus is very quick and very quiet. Looking forward to getting to know this lens better.
I've been using it for just about everything this week and just love it. Very sharp even wide open and focus is fast.
I wanted a bit more reach and sharpness than my old Nikon 70-210mm f/4-5.6 was giving. The reviews on this Tamron 70-300 were positive, and the price was attractive so as to make this a low-risk purchase. Honestly, I was not expecting such a good lens as this lens is. The image quality it produces on my Nikon D800 is outstanding. I use it mainly for wildlife photography, and it is useful to isolate a bit of distant landscape. It has a fast and silent autofocus, although I mostly focus manually. This is a rather heavy lens and necessitates the use of a tripod. I wish it had a tripod collar because I am concerned that such a heavy piece of glass could damage the camera lens mount. Nonetheless, I am happy I purchased this lens and anticipate getting a lot of use from it.
What I was looking for was an IS (or for Tamron VC) lens that would zoom to 200 or so. Looked at this lens as a new purchase (about 600) and then found it used here at Adorama....for half that price. For what I intend to use it for, this works nicely. Have run some tests on the lens and it's nice and sharp up to about 200mm. Beyond that, it gets a little sloppy...but...I only really need critical to 200mm. I will say I shot an airshow this past weekend, zoomed to 300mm a lot...and the shots were not bad at all.

Jennifer Hudson has lost over 80 pounds in two years as a Weight Watchers spokesperson, and the singer recently revealed that a big portion of her family has similarly achieved success with the weight-loss plan. Speaking in Ebony magazine's December/January issue, Hudson noted that over 75 of her relatives have shed some serious poundage using Weight Watchers.
Hudson also fought back against "The View" host Joy Behar's claim that Hudson was a size zero, saying, "I never said I was a size zero… I never said that." For more on Hudson's transformation, see this post on her campaign for hunger and obesity.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.

Frank James MacArthur always said what was on his mind.
But sometimes, his sister told him, that wasn't the best idea.
"Frank is the kind of person who once in a while you wish he would lie because it wouldn't get him in trouble," Jean Arthur said. "Unfortunately for good or bad, he likes to give you his opinion."
"And when it comes to police officers," she added, "they don't like to hear your opinion."
MacArthur's confrontational, brash persona drew thousands to his Baltimore Spectator blog and Twitter page, where he railed against the city of Baltimore, police and the mainstream media. The same qualities exacerbated an arrest for an open warrant that turned into a standoff thousands of people around the world listened to online.
"Why are they trying to silence the Baltimore Spectator," he tweeted late Saturday night from his Waverly rowhouse as a SWAT team waited outside with a spotlight turned toward him. "What was my crime? Can anyone tell me? Again, no phone here. Internet all I have. You are all I have."
His several-hour stalemate with Baltimore police pushed his profile from local blogger to national trending topic. He saw his followers on Twitter grow by more than 2,000. He watched a CNN analyst and groups such as Anonymous and WikiLeaks give him international exposure. Thousands of people tuned into his online radio channel, transfixed by his live-streamed discussions with a police negotiator.
He was more popular than ever. But when he finally surrendered, he also surrendered his online persona. He was silenced — something he believes the Baltimore police have long wanted.
MacArthur remains in jail without bail awaiting a preliminary hearing next month. Born in 1975, he grew up a typical teen in Montgomery County and hung out at Barry's Magic Shop, a famous Washington, D.C., institution. He went to community college and joined the Marines briefly, sister Jean Arthur said.
Married for a few years, he lived with his wife and daughter in California before divorcing and moving back.
His given last name isn't MacArthur but Arthur, his sister said. His mother gave him the middle name of Mac because she loved late TV actor James MacArthur. People put Mac and Arthur together, and MacArthur never corrected them, she said.
Court records and other official documents list his name as MacArthur or McArthur with birthdays as either 1965 or 1975 — discrepancies his family said prove the court notification system can't be trusted.
While his sister calls him Frank, friends and acquaintances call him Jimi. He is also the Baltimore Spectator. On MySpace, he calls himself "Apollos — International Man of Mystery."
Among friends or on his various social media outlets, MacArthur has said or suggested that he has worked as a policeman, firefighter, White House bodyguard and bounty hunter. His sister said she doesn't know of him ever working in law enforcement or as a first responder, though he was a police explorer in his younger days and took some EMT classes.
He worked as an animal control officer and in security, she said. Maryland business records show him registering a company named Magnum Protec Unlimited, though it's unclear what it was. On a court record in 2008, he listed his occupation as special investigator for Chesapeake Group Investigations, earning $1,000 a week. No one there could be reached Friday.
MacArthur currently works as a cab driver.
He sprinkles all this history in his tweets or blog posts to strengthen his arguments. He describes himself as a journalist and has appeared at City Hall to interview officials or pre-dawn crime scenes to scoop The Baltimore Sun. State and city officials have appeared with him in pictures and on the radio.
For years, along with Larry "The Celebrity Cab Driver" Wallace, he has been "Jimi the Bodyguard," part of a two-man "Taxi Talk" team on 1010 A.M.
"He liked to put the truth out there to let people know what was going on in Baltimore," Wallace said. "He wanted to be a good journalist. He wanted to tell a story as it happened. He wanted to tell the truth about things."

A&M accepts 156 acres from city
CORPUS CHRISTI - Texas A&M University System regents accepted this afternoon the city's donation of 156 acres for the expansion of Texas A&M University — Corpus Christi's island campus.
The university now begins the master planning process to figure what to build on the land off Ennis Joslin Road, said President Flavius Killebrew.
"We'll try to connect whatever we do there with what we're doing on campus," he said. "And keep as much of the academic core on the island. As I've talked to students, they don't even like to walk across campus. It works much better if faculty and students don't have great distance to go between classes."
City Council approved the donation in October.
University officials have said not being able to expand off Ward Island would mean the university would have to cap student enrollment at 10,000 within the next four or five years. Approximately 8,600 students are enrolled at the university this semester.
City officials have said that every 1,000 students attending the university bring $23 million annually to the local economy.
The land includes 42 acres of South Guth Park and 114 acres next to a wastewater treatment facility. Youth ball fields currently in the park will be relocated by the city to a site off Paul Jones Avenue at an estimated cost of $7.5 million. City officials have said The university can't build at the site until the new fields are ready.
The university's master planning, which will cost $80,000 to $100,000, is expected to be finished by March, Killebrew said.
A tentative schedule could see drainage work on the site begin as early as this summer.

During the day, you spend time gathering resources, whether it be searching for ore, digging holes, fishing or planting crops. Night is spent either indoors, mining underground tunnels, building tools or running around outside being chased by monsters.

Here's a prediction: it will INCREASE dissention. People-- Jewish, Israeli, Buddhist, or Andorran, are not likely to agree to be boxed into a one-size fits-all carton marked, "Jewish,"or anything else, or told how to be Jews. Between the biometric cards and this, what on EARTH is Israel thinking?

Program/Project Management
The last phase of a highway reconstruction project became the first phase of a bridge repair job this week when a sharp-eyed bridge painting crew discovered a six-foot-long crack in a support beam.
The painters' discovery led the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to close the westbound Route 422 Bridge over the Shenango River indefinitely Tuesday (April 3) for emergency repairs. The bridge carries about 9,300 vehicles daily over the river west of Route 168 in the City of New Castle.
PennDOT District 11 spokesman Jim Struzzi said that a crew from Advanced Painting Systems Inc., of Allison Park, PA, discovered the crack in one of the bridge girders while performing abrasive blasting to remove paint.
PennDOT closed the bridge immediately, and its engineers were assessing the through-and-through crack in the 3/8-inch beam.
To repair the damage, PennDOT "will be drilling the ends of the cracks and placing a splice on the northernmost girder of the westbound bridge between Piers 9 and 10 at Floorbeam 2," said Struzzi. "We will then be placing a steel splice over the affected area."
$19.7M Project
The steel, two-girder structure was built in 1972. The eastbound bridge, which is a different structure, is not affected.
Painting work on the bridge began in mid-March. The work was to have been the last step in a $19.7 million project that began in 2011 to improve 10.5 miles of Route 422 from the toll portion of I-376 to Route 2001 (Savanah Road).
The project included roadway patching, full-depth bituminous overlay, joint cleaning and sealing, concrete pavement patching, guide rail, cable barrier system, shoulder rumble strips, signing and pavement markings.
Bridge repairs were also performed on six structures, including latex modified concrete deck overlays, bearing replacements, and fabricated structural steel, slopewall and concrete repairs.
The prime contractors for the project are Trumbull Corp. of Pittsburgh in a joint venture with Lindy Paving Inc. of New Castle.
Advanced Painting Systems, an industrial and commercial painting contractor, declined to discuss the case Wednesday.
Comment from B. BRYCE, (4/6/2012, 6:09 AM)
An important reminder of how important thorough bridge inspection are, and in particular detailed examination of critical welds.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (4/9/2012, 9:08 AM)
I've seen blasting reveal a fair number of structural concerns, though they are usually section loss and/or pitting.

This course introduces the features of the V-Ray 2.0 rendering engine and demonstrates how to extend the range of Maya with its state-of-the-art tools, such as irradiance mapping, fur and hair textures and shaders, and stereoscopic 3D rendering. The course covers critical concepts such as creating basic materials, image sampling, color mapping, subdivs, and lighting, as well as the Render Elements, RT, and physical rendering workflows in V-Ray. Exercise files are included with the course.
Color or tone mapping is an internal process that V-Ray uses in order to map the highs and lows of our rendered pixels; in other words, the drawing of the brightest and darkest values found in our renders. It does actually have a number of similarities to a camera's exposure control, or the response curve of the human eye to light levels found in its environment, as V-Ray's color mapping is designed to map the colors in our pixels to a range that is usable by, and viewable on, our computer display device. Of course, color mapping in some form is something that all render engines do.
Without this final translation of collected information into RGB pixel values, we would never get any images out of our rendering engine. One of the extremely cool things about V-Ray is that it allows us to make some pre-render choices as to just how this color mapping will take place, and so ultimately, how the colors in our final render will look. Before we go through a brief description and comparison of the color mapping types, however, we just want to quickly draw to your attention two parameters that almost all of the color mapping modes hold in common, and one that they all do.
Of course, we need to go to the Render Settings window, and pull that up. Then let's come along into the V-Ray tab. Let's just close up the Image sampler controls, and we want to open up our Color mapping roll out. Now, the parameter that all of our color mapping modes hold in common is this Gamma value. In fact, if we just very quickly flick through each of the color mapping types, and if you keep your eye on that Gamma value, you'll see that it is there for each and every one of them. Now, the gamma parameter can almost be thought of as a midtones control, but really it has been placed that to give us the ability to compensate for the gamma response curve of our display device.
To correct for a 2.2 gamma display curve, which is a typical Windows system setting, we would set, as we can see here, a value of 2.2. If we were using an operating system that used a different gamma response curve, say, 1.8, then that is the value we would place in this field. Now, the two controls that most of our color mapping types hold in common are these Dark and Bright multiplier parameters. In fact, the only color mapping type that we will find not using these controls is the Reinhard option, and you can see, those disappear.
These options are really working with the brightest and darkest pixels in our rendered image. They are controlling how the dark pixel of color values will be mapped, and the same with the bright pixels. Now, we've got a series of test renders here that we just want to demonstrate to you how changing these multiplier options can affect our rendered images. First, though, we just want to set our Gamma value to 1.0; that is how these render would taken. We just wanted to make certain that everything was really contrasting in here, because that really highlights the changes we make to, not only the Dark and Bright multiplier settings, but also our Color mapping types as well.
So, with that gamma change made, the defaults of 1 and 1 in the Dark and Bright multiplier would yield this particular result if we were to render our scene. Now, if you just keep you eye on the darker values in the scene, particularly around the edges of our image, if we just drop our Dark multiplier down, you'll see that that'll darken all of those values. You can really see how they drop down the brightness range. And of course, as you would expect, keeping your eye on those same dark values, if we double from the default of 1, to a value of 2, we would go to this particular render.
So you can see, if we take a look at the area under the stairs here, you can really see how those dark values are brightened up quite considerably. And as you would expect, exactly the same happens if we work with our Bright multiplier value. Let's just drop those down, first of all, to a value of 0.5, and this is the render we would get. And oftentimes, you will hear the Bright multiplier value expounded as a way of controlling burnout in our scenes. As you can see, it has gotten rid off our burnout, but because we've made quite a drastic change to the numerical value, we're getting some quite nasty artifacts showing up in here.
The Dark and Bright multiplier values really need to be tweaked very cautiously. We don't want to be making any drastic changes in them, because well, as you can see, we can cause more problems oftentimes than we solve. So let's just double our Bright multiplier default of 1 up to a value of 2, and that would give us this render, which as you can see, really does increase the bright values in our scene. So we've demonstrated how the Gamma, and Dark and Bright multipliers are working, but of course, we still need to look at the color mapping modes themselves.
So in our very next video, we're just going to walk you through each of the color mapping types, and we're going to show you the effect that it would have on our scene, as it stands at this moment in time.

38 year old man | Orlando, FL, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 20 miles
Fun, happy and smiling guy just moved to Florida from LA-LA land (Los Angeles).
I'm a fun and friendly guy that believes in the good of people, and is adamant about following dreams. I'm into a healthy lifestyle and I prefer to maintain an organic diet, although my lunches while at work are not always that way. I'm looking for someone that is kind, loving, affectionate, caring and fun. I like someone with a spunky energy and a passion for life and being a good person. This is the 1st time I've ever tried online dating, and it's because I just moved here from Los Angeles, and I don't know anybody outside of my co-workers whom all seem to be married with children. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago, went to school in Colorado and stayed there for a while until moving to Los Angeles. Now my dream job brings me to Florida, and I'm ready to make a great life for myself. I work A LOT, and because of that I'm looking for someone who wants to spend time together on the weekends, and some very rare weekday evenings that I'm free. I'm looking for someone who wants to join along side of me on a crazy roller coaster ride, both literally and metaphorically. Please reach out with a wink or a little message, and maybe there will be a spark that turns us into a perfect Match!

It's worth choosing the best chocolate you can: look for Valrhona, Menier, Suchard, Lesme or Callebaut. If you can stop yourself from finishing this in one sitting, this cake keeps well.
110g/4oz best-quality gluten-free dark chocolate (70 percent cocoa solids)
2 tbsp red Jamaica rum
110g/4oz whole almonds
110g/4oz butter, preferably unsalted
110g/4oz caster sugar, plus 1 tbsp extra, to mix with the egg whites
3 eggs, preferably free-range, separated
110g (4oz) best-quality gluten-free dark chocolate (70 percent cocoa solids)
2 tbsp red Jamaica rum
110g/4oz unsalted butter
crystallised violets
2 x 18cm/7in sandwich tins
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Line the base of each of the tins with a round of greaseproof paper. Brush the bottom and sides with melted butter and dust with a little rice flour.
Melt the chocolate with the rum in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in a low oven.
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and add the almonds. Bring back to the boil for 2-3 minutes and then test an almond to see if the skin is loose. Drain the almonds, peel and discard the skins. Grind the whole almonds in a food processor until they are slightly gritty.
Cream the butter and add the sugar. Beat until pale, light and soft. Beat in the egg yolks, one by one. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Add the extra tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form, then add the melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture. Divide the prepared almonds into four portions. Add one portion to the creamed mixture. Fold in a quarter of the egg white, followed by more almonds. Fold in the remaining eggs and almonds alternately until they have all been added.
Divide the mixture between the two prepared tins and make a hollow in the centre of each cake. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The sides should be cooked but the centre still a little unset. Leave to cool for a few minutes in the tins, turn out gently onto a wire rack, remove the paper and allow to cool completely.
To make the icing, melt the chocolate with the rum in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in a low oven. Whisk in the butter, a tablespoon at a time, until melted. Remove from the heat and whisk occasionally until cool. If the icing seems too runny, put the bowl in the fridge and allow to firm up. Whisk to lighten and then use.
When the cake is completely cold, fill and ice with the chocolate mixture. (If you want to cover the sides and pipe a border around the top, make 1½ times the quantity of icing.) Decorate with flaked almonds and crystallised violets.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

VIDEO: Why didn't Derbyshire police turn up? asks school after £15,000 raid
Posted: August 19, 2014|
THIEVES stole £15,000 of lights from a Derby school after police were alerted to intruders but said they could not send anyone.
Trespassers were spotted just before 8pm on Sunday night by a high-tech security system.
CCTV was triggered after offenders broke into the grounds of Osmaston Primary School.
An automated voice sent a recorded loudspeaker message to the offenders that they had been caught on camera and police had been called.Watch the CCTV here:object id="flashObj" width="480" height="270" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0">

A security firm remotely monitoring the site alerted police but was told no officers were available to go out.
The building site manager at the school – which is having a £5 million refurbishment – then arrived at 6am to discover the theft.
The manager, Wayne Mears, said: "If the police had responded to the first call then this break-in would never have happened, the lights would not have been taken and now we are faced with the potential prospect of putting the works schedule back while we get replacement lights expressly delivered to us.
"The police's response has been very disappointing."
Mr Mears said the CCTV was triggered at 7.50pm on Sunday by "two or three kids" coming on to the site.
He said despite the speaker warning they stayed inside the site throwing stones, which police confirmed led to calls from local residents to reports of anti-social behaviour.
Then, yesterday morning, Mr Mears discovered the break-in as he went around the site. He said: "I called the police to tell them what happened but they still didn't send anyone round straight away.
"I even told them I had CCTV of the trespassers.
"I don't know if the same people who broke in the first time were responsible for stealing the lights, but I still think that if the police had been able to send someone round when they were initially called then the break-in would never have happened."
Mr Mears is the building manager for Willmot Dixon Construction Limited, refurbishing the school, in Amber Street.
One school governor, who did not want to be named, said: "I am very disappointed by the police's response to this and agree with Mr Mears that this could have been avoided had an officer or officers gone out at the time they were alerted to this.
"The lights that were stolen were new LED stainless steel ones that were due to be placed in the new reception."
Two police community support officers finally visited the school at 3pm yesterday.
A Derbyshire police spokesman said the initial call was to reports of trespassers on the site, which would usually be dealt with by a safer neighbourhood team, none of whom were available.
He said: "It has since been reported that valuable items were later stolen from the site and an officer has now been assigned to investigate."

this rope is great, it does not get tangled easily and handles well. It's also pretty, I got the green. My other friend got the blue rope from REI and he noticed some fraying of the sheath on its first use. Not a huge problem because the core is prob ok. I haven't seen that on my rope yet and I've been using it for a month now.

For a second there, I thought you were going to tell me to expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights. I don't have time to go into this now, but I never said that there shouldn't be consistency in exposure. Your argument is a straw man.
Two quick comments about the WBM examples. In the Film Test Evaluation chart, the actual log-H should be relative log-H. And maybe I'm missing something, but the other example has the log-H range as 1.21 (7stops /Zones) but indicates this covers Zone II to Zone VIII or 6 stops in the Δ1.20 density range, which is actually on the high end for a Δ2.20 log-H luminance range.

I'm interested to know if you'll be updating it every time there is a new release from MIUI Chine -they release every friday-.
I can't see any download links! It just directs me to the I9000 page which is obviously not much use considering I have an I9100!
Can you make the download links clearer for this ROM please?
I can only get a link to Asnet v2.4.6 not the latest Asnet v2.4.16 for I9100.
Any help would be appreciated, looking for a decent MIUI V4 ICS rom for use on my sgs2.
Considering I'm the second person asking about the download links and theres only 3 pages on this ROM it may be how obscure the download links are, I'd suggest making them bold and colourful so they cannot be missed, I do hope you will update this ROM as MIUI China release their updates for it.
Also your first upload link seems to be peaking in download speed of about 130-150Kbps. Could upload to a mirror upload site if this was acceptable.
Many thanks.
