The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office is warning neighbors of a local phone scam: a man identifying himself as a "high-ranking official" from the sheriff's office and then asking people he calls for money.

"Please be careful not to provide this individual with any personal information," the statement said. "This individual is not an employee of the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office and his activity is not consistent with department procedures."

Report: McHale frontrunner for Rockets coaching job
May 21, 2011, 4:59 PM EDT
Honestly, after his last stint as general manager than coach in Minnesota, I didn't think we'd ever see Kevin McHale walking the NBA sidelines as a coach again. But he has interviewed everywhere this spring (recently with the Warriors) and was one of the three finalists for the Houston Rockets job. Now he is more…
Pau Gasol: "It wasn't about confidence. I collapsed."
May 20, 2011, 11:55 PM EDT
The Pau Gasol that won the battle with the Boston Celtics front line in 2010 was nowhere to be seen. Same with the Pau Gasol that defended and scored on Dwight Howard in 2009. Pau Gasol was not right in the 2011 NBA playoffs. He shot 42 percent this year, after shooting 53.9 percent ad…
NBA Rookies unsure how to deal with impending lockout
May 20, 2011, 8:45 PM EDT
There will be an NBA Draft on June 23, when the hopes and dreams of franchises will be pinned on teenagers. Teams will pump up their new players, fans will become excited… And then the lockout. And those rookies are not sure what is going to happen. That's what they told the Associated Press during…
Stromile Swift arrested for allegedly stalking ex-girlfriend
May 20, 2011, 7:18 PM EDT
Stromile Swift, the nine-year NBA veteran for the Grizzlies among others who has been out of the league two years, was arrested for allegedly stalking an ex-girlfriend, according to KTBS television in Shreveport, La.

Heat's Haslem sits out practice Friday just as precaution
May 20, 2011, 4:49 PM EDT
Udonis Haslem, the man off the bench that helped change the Heat's fortunes in Game 2 and even the series, sat out practice Friday because of his surgically repaired foot. Relax Heat fans, it's just precautionary. Deep breathes. Haslem stayed out of running drills, according to a tweet from our man Ira Winderman with the…
Kyrie Irving wants to play for Australia but he can't

As the Draft Combine was winding down in Chicago, future No.1 draft pick Kyrie Irving threw out a surprise twist, according to a tweet from Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress: Irving said he was "strongly considering" playing for the Australian national team this summer. Australia will be trying to qualify for the 2012 Olympics Irving owns…
NBA Draft Combine news and notes
May 20, 2011, 3:42 PM EDT
The NBA Draft Combine in Chicago is a big deal, and it isn't. For a guy like Kyrie Irving, him basically skipping the event other than to get measured doesn't matter. He did have 10.2 percent body fat, pretty high for a guard, and that doesn't matter. He will go No. 1 to Cleveland anyway.…
Pistons coach Kuester says he will run pre-draft workouts
May 20, 2011, 2:48 PM EDT
Pretty much every talent evaluator, general manager and coach not in the playoffs is in Chicago right now for the NBA's Draft Combine. Not the Piston's embattled coach John Kuester. Which seems to speak volumes to his status with the franchise. But Kuester told the Detroit News he will be running individual workouts heading up to…
Yao Ming hopes to be back, ideally with Rockets
May 20, 2011, 1:49 PM EDT
His body keeps betraying him, but nobody can question Yao Ming's desire or love of the game. In a couple of months, doctors will be able to tell Yao if his surgically-repaired ankle would be up to the rigors of playing in the NBA — or anywhere else — ever again. A recent MRI showed…
Maya Moore becomes first woman signed by Nike's Jordan brand
May 20, 2011, 1:18 PM EDT
Michael Jordan and the Jordan brand still dominate the basketball shoe market. More than 80 percent of all sales dominate. It's not even a contest. So the signing of Maya Moore as the first woman ever as part of the Jordan Brand is huge, something the company announced this week. Moore is the back-to-back national…
Jerry West takes on consultant position with Warriors
May 20, 2011, 12:37 PM EDT
UPDATE 12:37 pm: It's official according to CSN Bay Area, the Warriors have confirmed that Jerry West has joined the organization, with the title of "executive board member." Consultant is still the best term to understand the role. West can be a strong and persuasive voice, but he also is deft at the politics of…
No grand conspiracy, Scott Brooks just rode hot hand
May 20, 2011, 12:20 PM EDT
Today, Thunder coach Scott Brooks is getting lots and lots of praise for leaving his bench (with Kevin Durant) out on the court throughout the fourth quarter. Some see it as a rebuke of Russell Westbrook, some as Brooks asserting his authority. Not from where I sit. To me it's more simple and pragmantic —…
PBT Friday morning one liners
May 20, 2011, 11:31 AM EDT
Could the Los Angeles Clippers have protected the pick they traded to Cleveland in the Baron Davis/Mo Williams deal, the one that became the No. 1 overall pick? It's complicated, explains the brilliant Larry Coon (the CBA guru). Yes they could have, but not in a way that was good for them. Just go read…
New, quieter Mark Cuban still doesn't like referees
May 20, 2011, 10:48 AM EDT
Mark Cuban still is not talking to the media during these playoffs — unless you want to hear how ABC picked up Shark Tank for 13 more episodes — but that doesn't mean he isn't talking. And it doesn't mean he is happy with the officiating. Did you really expect him to be? Tim MacMahon…
As we expected, Spurs GM says their team is just fine
May 20, 2011, 10:24 AM EDT
Tony Parker thinks its over and told a French paper that. A lot of us think it's over. But Spurs general manager R.C. Buford thinks the San Antonio Spurs will still be pretty darn good. Which was pretty clear anyway when he made sure he was bringing back pretty much the same roster next season.…
Video: Kevin Durant's monster, win-sparking slam
May 20, 2011, 8:47 AM EDT
The best line I read about this dunk (and I couldn't find the tweet later to credit the person) was that Kevin Durant used Brendan Haywood as his own personal Kia. The Thunder were struggling and this dunk sparked them and was the first step to them evening this series. One dunk does not a…
NBA Playoffs: Westbrook sits, maturity level now tested
May 20, 2011, 1:28 AM EDT
Russell Westbrook was emotional, he was hot when taken out in the third quarter. The plays that the Thunder were supposed to be running nobody was executing so he was left solo, and that led to some ugliness. He was yelling and we're guessing they were words on George Carlin's list. He was hot enough…
Kareem should have a statue… but did you know his movie hit Netflix?
May 19, 2011, 9:51 PM EDT
Let's get this part out of the way first: Yes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should have a statue out in front of Staples Center. Nobody who knows the game is disputing that or his place in Lakers or NBA history — including the Lakers, who have told Abdul-Jabbar his statue would be next (but there was no…
Ring for LeBron could mean $4 billion for Nike in China
May 19, 2011, 7:20 PM EDT
Right now, Kobe Bryant has made bigger inroads into the Chinese market than LeBron James. Part of that is relationships — Kobe was making an annual pilgrimage to China long before most NBA stars. He has his own separate charity there, part of giving back to that massive market. But it's also about the rings.…
Report: Minnesota dangling No. 2 pick, Pacers interested
May 19, 2011, 5:09 PM EDT
It makes a lot of sense for the Timberwolves to be shopping the No. 2 pick in the draft, which makes the numerous reports it is happening easy to believe. That pick is either going to be Derrick Williams — a likely four who maybe can play the three — or now-rising Turkish power forward…
NBA Playoffs: Can anyone slow Nowitzki, Durant?
May 19, 2011, 3:08 PM EDT
One player does not win a basketball game. But if Dallas or Oklahoma City can figure out a way to slow the other's star player in this series — starting with Game 2 Thursday night — they will have a huge leg up. Because in Game 1 those two pretty much scored like Wilt in…
Charles Barkley, Dwyane Wade having a little spat
May 19, 2011, 2:52 PM EDT
Charles Barkley and Dwyane Wade are not talking right now. Well, unless T-Mobile pays them to. Yahoo's Kelly Dwyer tweeted this last night after the Heat evened their series against the Chicago Bulls. Overheard as I leave the UC. Dwyane Wade: "I'm not talking to you, man." Charles Barkley: "What I do this time?" I…
Hey Cleveland, Derrick Williams is happy to be your new LeBron
May 19, 2011, 2:23 PM EDT
Kyrie Irving took the smart, humble path — he told Clevelanders not to compare him to LeBron James. Arizona's Derrick Williams — the only guy who could potentially knock Irving out of the top spot in the draft — is not so mild mannered. He wants to bring his star power to you, Cleveland, as he said…
Tony Parker says Spurs no longer playing for a title
May 19, 2011, 1:48 PM EDT
It's over. It's not just us saying that the championship era of the San Antonio Spurs has come to an end, it's now the Spurs themselves. Tony Parker was interviewed by French sports paper L'Equipe, translated by the official FIBA website (via the amazing Tom Ziller), and he was frank about the future of this…
Likely top pick Kyrie Irving not working out at combine
May 19, 2011, 12:30 PM EDT
And the NBA draft combine continues its evolution into the NFL combine. Complete with the top players not really doing anything. Kyrie Irving, the presumptive No. 1 overall pick out of Duke, will skip all the athletic testing and drills at the NBA Combine, according to a tweet from ESPN's Chad Ford. That combine is…

Arkansas-Pine Bluff extends TSU's misery 49-3
By Ronnie Turner | November 3, 2012 | Updated: November 3, 2012 8:58pm
Photo By Smiley N. Pool/StaffTSU's Rudy Johnson is sacked by Sean Robinson, helping UAPB hold the Tigers to 135 yards.
The contrast between Texas Southern and Arkansas-Pine Bluff couldn't have been starker Saturday afternoon.
TSU, heavily depleted by injuries and forced to use a lot of young players, ran mostly on fumes as it nears the end of a difficult rebuilding season. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, however, was in strong midseason form, with the look of a program on the verge of winning the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship.
The Tigers were thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball as the Golden Lions romped to a 49-3 triumph before a TSU homecoming crowd of 2,968 at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (7-2, 6-1), which clinched the SWAC Western Division title and a berth in the league championship game, rolled up 476 yards of offense and forced three turnovers, including two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. Quarterback Benjamin Anderson threw for 265 yards and four touchdown passes, as the Golden Lions finished by scoring 42 unanswered points.
TSU (2-7, 2-5) was held to just 135 total yards (91 passing) while playing three quarterbacks.
"We're taking our bumps and bruises," coach Darrell Asberry said. "This has been a tough season. … I'm not happy at all, by no means, (with) our performance."

DUBLIN, Ohio, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- National Adoption Day is November 15 as part of National Adoption Month. To help adoption agencies, civic and faith-based groups, corporations, educators and others generate awareness, a new 2008 Foster Care Adoption Awareness Toolkit can be ordered at http://www.davethomasfoundationforadoption.org.
It offers free suggestions and resources to promote foster care adoption awareness, including A Child is Waiting: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adoption. This year's toolkit also features a special post-adoption section sponsored by Jockey International's Jockey Being Family initiative.
Foundation research indicates a surprising number of Americans underestimate the number of children waiting for adoptive families, believe children in foster care entered because of delinquency and don't know foster care adoption is affordable and permanent. The toolkit arms advocates with information dispelling these myths.
The reality is more than 129,000 children in U.S. foster care are available for adoption; children who have entered the system through no fault of their own as victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment; children who can wait up to five years to be adopted, move three or more times and become separated from siblings.
"Our founder Dave Thomas said these children are not someone's responsibility. They are our responsibility," said Rita Soronen, executive director of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. "We are pleased to make these toolkits available as a free resource for those who share Dave's vision by working passionately on behalf of the victims of abuse and neglect waiting for adoptive families. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children."

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Book, video and gear reviews
GFF video/DVD review
Only the River KnowsA Fly Fishing Tragedy
A truly different - and truly epic - fly-fishing DVD, which is very different from most fly-fishing DVDs inasmuch as it has a story, a narrative. The story of two Scandinavian anglers fishing in New Zealand and getting lost, only to find a desolated cabin and a diary left behind, written by a third Scandinavian angler. The diary possesses especially one of the anglers who relives the story in the booklet and seeks out the author. Funny, entertaining, beautiful... different.Instructor, narrator, producer etc.: Peter A Christensen, Rolf Nylinder, Mathis Eskjaer
Reviewed by Martin Joergensen I have no idea why this DVD has the subtitle "A Fly Fishing Tragedy". It's not a tragedy. It's a celebration!
A celebration of New Zealand.
A celebration of friends going fishing.
A celebration of the obsession with fly-fishing.
A celebration of loosing your wits and finding them again.
And not least a celebration of the fly-fishing film.
No, there are only a few tragic elements in the film, and even they aren't particularly tragic, but actually quite funny.
Come to think of it, fun is a major part of this fly-fishing film, and when I was seeing it at a sneak preview in Copenhagen there were laughs all around. And many and heartfelt, which is a rare thing in fly-fishing films. And not only were there laughs, but the audience seemed to truly enjoy themselves all the way through the 80 plus minutes, even though a large part looked to be non-fishing - both male and female.
This is in every way a very entertaining film.
A celebration of loosing your wits and finding them again.
It is a fly-fishing film, and does contain the type of footage we see in most fly-fishing films: beautiful water, nice casts, fish rising to a fly and the triumphant angler presenting and releasing his catch.
But it's not a how-to, that teaches you to fish. And it's not a where-to that tells you where to go to fish. It does mention locations and does show fishing, but for for informative purposes.
The fishing scenes are not only intertwined with a narrative, but also seem almost scripted - or as scripted as fishing scenes can be, taking into account the conditions, the fish and what else can wreck havoc on a well thought out story.
Because in the film there is a very well thought out storyline, and as we follow the main characters Swedish Rolf Nylinder and and Danish Peter Christensen, a story unfolds where these guys set on a journey that leads them from New Zealand to Norway and Australia and even the Cook Islands - all instigated by the entries they read in the diary, which they find in the cabin.
Rolf is in particular fascinated by the diary, bordering on obsessed, and drives the row of events ahead in a hectic tempo. But at the same time, as he reads passages of the text in the book, we get transported back in time and follow the writer's experiences in a series of calm and soothing and yet exciting scenes from back when he was fishing the same river as the two stranded guys are looking for. Rolf and Peter manage to experience the same calm and excitement as they get to fish the river and catch fish too.
The diary they find is written by Norwegian Lars Lenth, and many Scandinavians will recognize the style from the films made by him and his friend Bård Tufte Johansen - who both appear in the film. Lenth of course plays a major role in being the angler who has written the spellbinding text, but Bård Tufte Johansen also gets his part as he now lives in Lenth's old house where the two main characters go to seek out Lenth.
Altogether a very different fishing film, which as I said owes a lot the the Norwegian Lenth/Tufte tradition, but probably will be very new in style to most non-Scandinavian viewers. It's a very welcome addition to the fly-fishing film scene, being both epic, funny (hilarious at times) and technically very well made. It has enough nice fishing to satisfy you, and enough non-fishing to please friends and spouses who for once can sit down and watch a fly-fishing DVD together with you.
In spite of being made by Swedes, Norwegians and Danes, the film is almost entirely in English. For those who want a little language support, there are subtitles in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English too.
Truly Global Class and then some and warmly recommended.

Not watched the full movie, but the trailer looks amazing. Really good to see a fly fishing film which looks inspired. Well done on releasing it for $10 download. Just putting it on my Kindle fire now and will watch later when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet and I can savour the experience.

Absolutely super! The download is a bargain at 10$. I now have the version saved on my media player and ready to play at the click of a button for a third of the price and hopefully all of that 10$ goes to the film makers without the need for distribution etc.

I found the film fairly interesting in the parts shot professionally, quite deluding and boring those shot by the two guys. The story in itself is interesting: finding a diary in the middle of New Zealand wilderness, taking it to Norway and then back to Australia, but the two guys speak too much and fish little and when they fish.....they suck!!!

Ventura and his supporters had better be careful what they wish for and how they go about trying to make it happen, though. They may just end up destroying whatever "Democracy" they've set out to "regain."
The federal elected officials, to whom the petition is addressed, must face the threat of some grand electoral overthrow if they don't vote and act correctly this time!

We might be losing another good man to the federal beast.
South Carolina state Senator Lee Bright has decided to primary Lindsey Graham next year in an attempt to throw the notorious liberty hater out of government once and for all.
Certainly, Bright would be an improvement over his predecessor, assuming he can unseat the incumbent. Sen. Lindsey Graham is perhaps the biggest enemy of the Bill of Rights in the Senate. Even in the Congressional cesspool, he stands out as especially verminous. Bright would represent the people of South Carolina better than Graham ever could, and he's off to a good start calling Graham a 'community organizer for the Muslim brotherhood' in one of his first interviews as a candidate. Superficially, there is a lot here for a liberty activist to like.
But upon closer review, Bright is making a mistake. Liberty is not going to be reclaimed by winning a federal election. If he pulls off the upset and wins, Bright will join a small handful of senators who talk tough against big government. Like Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, he can raise a big stink and draw attention to the corruption going on within the federal government, but he will likely be very ineffectual in restoring our constitutional rights. Conversely, staying put as a state senator, he could actually be effective in reclaiming liberty for South Carolinians by nullifying federal laws.Details
The folks at the conservative legal blog Judicial Watch are hopping mad that the Obama Administration and their buddies at the ACLU are waving the white flag of surrender in the drug war.
Wait. What?
According to a Jun 10 blog post titled 'DOJ Takes ACLU's Lead on Pot Shops; Ignore the Law' which looks like it may have been written in bizarro world.
"The fact remains that federal law prohibits [marijuana] and therefore it's a slap in the face to law and order that these illicit enterprises are surfacing around the country, especially in the area surrounding the U.S. government. A national news report points out that two new pot businesses will operate in the shadow of Congress and will mark one of the boldest moves yet for the nation's marijuana movement."
This possibility, however contrived, horrifies the 'law and order' conservatives over at Judicial Watch. So much so that they are willing to trample the Constitution to continue their "war" on a plant. The so-called "War on Drugs" rests on the same constitutional authority as most of the other American wars over the last 70 years.
Question me? Consider this: why did the federal government need a constitutional amendment to fight its war on alcohol?
The Constitution delegates no power to the federal government to prohibit marijuana.Details
Some sentences are so contradictory, so self-evidently oxymoronic that they stop you in your tracks. For example, maybe you have a friend who says something like, "I'm a vegetarian, but I really love cheeseburgers." Hearing this, you're likely to give your friend a bewildered look and say, "Dude…huh?"
In the wake of the Supreme Court's June 26 decision that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional, the reported response of some Utah politicians elicited a similar reaction. As reported by The Universe, "Prominent Utah Republicans overwhelmingly applauded the Supreme Court for recognizing same-sex marriage as a states' rights issue but expressed disappointment that the Supreme Court is not in harmony with the Congressional majority that favors DOMA."
How can it be simultaneously acknowledged that regulation of marriage is a state issue and bemoaned that a federal law that nationalized the issue was struck down? What can account for such an obvious contradiction? As always, the devil is in the details It is enlightening to understand which Utah Republicans acknowledged this issue as the domain of the states and which didn't.Details
Former Republican Presidential Candidate and promoter of the "9-9-9″ economic plan Herman Cain recently wrote an article to rebut the claim that Republicans don't have an answer to our nation's health care "crisis". The article champions HR 2300 – Empowering Patients First – as "vastly superior to the train wreck we're facing right now" with Obamacare.
Mr. Cain ends his article with an interesting combination of irony and hypocrisy by quoting James Madison, commonly referred to as the Father of the Constitution, and labeling Obamacare – but not HR2300 – as "government malfeasance".
Now I'll agree with Mr. Cain that Obamacare is terrible legislation as well as government malfeasance. The assumption of power that the federal government has made by enacting the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" interferes with the right of the People of the States to regulate health care as they see fit, and makes a mockery of James Madison's assurance in Federalist #45 that the "powers delegated" to the Federal Government are "few and defined", while those of the States are "numerous and indefinite."
I'll also even entertain the unlikely possibility that HR 2300, introduced by Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Price, may be less terrible than Obamacare. Rep. Price is a doctor, after all.
However I have a few questions for Mr. Cain:Details
A Yahoo News article released recently reads: Rand Paul's Troubling Ties to Racists. The article uses the terms "Pro-confederate", "neo-confederate" and touches on the Civil War. The source used in the Yahoo News article is from The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative online news source, which published an article slandering Paul as a radical because his aide (Jack Hunter) has long been a supporter and advocate of the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
The Tenth Amendment reads: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.
In layman's terms, if it is not one of the powers delegated to the federal government by the US Constitution then the federal government has no business exercising power of such matters. In modern America where the federal government controls what kind of shower you can use, the type of light bulb you are allowed to light your house with and what kind of milk you decide to pour over your cereal in the morning it is no surprise that nullification is becoming a household word again.
Paul is the first modern US Senator to use the term "nullification" in support of reining in the powers of the federal government when it comes to unconstitutional federal legislation. He first used this when President Obama attempted to issue executive orders on gun control.Details
Last week we received a few heckles for posting a Facebook meme of George Bush signing the Patriot Act. We stand by our intent – Republicans and Democrats, George Bush and Barack Obama – are sell-outs and equally culpable for the security-surveillance industrial complex of whose scary details were leaked to the press last week.
If you are the sporting type and keeping score, the Democrat-Republican Party is beating the Constitution by six touchdowns going into the fourth quarter. These dudes are on the same team, even if it took you half the game to figure it out. Behind the inexorable expansion of the state, the Right and the Left often stand as one.
Take, for instance, Rich Galen, a neo-con who blogs at Townhall.com, writing today about NSA-whistle blower Edward Snowden:
As a taxpayer, I'm not paying you to look out after my Fourth Amendment rights. I'm paying you to do whatever job you were hired to do, and if you find that job too ethically distasteful, then you should quit.
But keep your mouth shut.
Galen suggests a long federal prison sentence would be just deserts for Snowden for exposing a creepy, out-of-control national government sifting warrantlessly through our personal emails and internet searches. After all, Galen declares, he is a 66-year-old guy with nothing to hide.Details
Ever since food became easier and more profitable to create by machinery the government has tried to regulate it in some sort of fashion. The first English regulation of such was the Assize of Bread and Ale around the year 1266. In America the first endeavour into regulating food came in 1862 when President Lincoln launched the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Chemistry. These two organizations operated in what today we call the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the Agriculture Department. Later on in 1906 the Pure Food and Drugs Act was passed and what we now call the Food and Drug Administration was formed. Through these early regulatory adoptions it was aimed to raise the standards in food and their truthfulness in packaging. The nutrition labels that we all now know were mandated in 1990 through the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) and amended by the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004.
But how far do we go in demanding how manufacturers produce and label their food? Specifically speaking, how far can we go on a federal level? On a state level? Already, we have numerous states with specific laws for food that is imported or exported from that state above and beyond the federal requirements.
This raises a question: should we rely on one-size-fits-all mandates from D.C.? Or would we be better served allowing states to determines the extent of their food labeling?
Considering the way big agribusiness manipulates the federal system, we might want to consider a more decentralized approach.
On March 26th President Obama signed HR 933 – called the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 – into law to stop the shutdown of the American government. Buried in this bill, we find the Farmer Assurance Provision – aka the "Monsanto Protection Act." Lawmakers sneaked in Section 735 giving special privileges to companies that deal with genetically modified organisms (GMO), even allowing them to continue producing crops even if a court finds them harmful – which very well may not entirely be the case. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said that he will introduce legislation in the Farm Bill of 2013 to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

The Bunnin Automotive Group to sponsor Hospice Las Vegas Cool
Frank, Sammy, Dean and friends never had it so easy. The Bunnin Automotive Group is presenting a fun-filled evening of Las Vegas glamour at the Moorpark Country Club on Sunday, Oct. 5, beginning at 5 p.m. — all to benefit Hospice of the Conejo.
This year the popular event will feature exciting games, fantastic foods, riveting entertainers, stunning showgirls, terrific prizes, live auctions and more.
"Our Las Vegas Cool' event was a huge success last year at this beautiful venue," said event chair Dixie Vollmer of Hospice of the Conejo. "This year we'll be back to the Moorpark Country Club bigger and better than ever. In addition to its gorgeous setting, the location allows more people to join the fun."
Leo Bunnin, a third generation auto dealer and president and owner of The Bunnin Automotive Group, agrees. "This is a wonderful way for the community to step up to support a very worthwhile charity and have some great fun at the same time," he said.
Bunnin decided to back the event after hearing about the volunteer organization's 30-year history of serving the terminally ill and their families.
"Hospice serves everyone including children, young adults, even couples who are grieving the loss of an infant," said Bunnin. "Their work is commendable and we at The Bunnin Automotive Group wanted to be a part of the healing process."
Area Boys and Girls Clubs, St. John's Regional Hospital Foundation, the United Way, Support For The Kids, the Boy Scouts of Ventura County and local elementary and high schools have all benefited from Bunnin's generosity.
"This is our most vital fundraising event of the year," said Maria Prescott, Hospice Executive Director. "We are grateful for the support of The Bunnin Automotive Group and are proud to have them as our title sponsor, especially this year, as we begin our 31st anniversary of service to the community."
Key sponsors include Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Griffin Memorial Park; Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center; the Ventura County Star and Los Robles Hospital Volunteers.
Vollmer recommends buying tickets early to avoid being disappointed. Las Vegas Cool tickets are just $75 in advance; $100 at the door and can be purchased by calling Hospice of the Conejo at 495-2145 or visiting www.lasvegascool.org
Hospice of the Conejo is a non-profit, volunteer hospice and bereavement center and offers a variety of free-of-charge services to the terminally ill and their families in the Conejo and Simi valleys, Moorpark, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village and surrounding areas.

I have a ruby on rails app in which I'm trying to find a way to run some code every few seconds.
I've found lots of info and ideas using cron, or cron-like implementations, but these are only accurate down to the minute, and/or require external tools. I want to kick the task off every 15 seconds or so, and I want it to be entirely self contained within the application (if the app stops, the tasks stop, and no external setup).
This is being used for background generation of cache data. Every few seconds, the task will assemble some data, and then store it in a cache which gets used by all the client requests. The task is pretty slow, so it needs to run in the background and not block client requests.
I'm fairly new to ruby, but have a strong perl background, and the way I'd solve this there would be to create an interval timer & handler which forks, runs the code, and then exits when done.
It might be even nicer to just simulate a client request and have the rails controller fork itself. This way I could kick off the task by hitting the URI for it (though since the task will be running every few seconds, I doubt I'll ever need to, but might have future use). Though it would be trivial to just have the controller call whatever method is being called by the periodic task scheduler (once I have one).

Sacramento Scottish Highlands Games and Festival – a photo essay of history
By Jeremy Branham on Apr 30, 2012 with Comments 10
This wasn't my first Scottish Highlands Games and Festival. However, this one was different.
I met up with old friends, Scottish Highlands Games professional athletes, and made new ones as well. And this time, you get a chance to see how big these men really are.
Bagpipes, Scottish music, kilts, and food. Yep, they were all here. However, I didn't just hear the music. I listened to it. I saw the passion of the people. I tasted their food. And I wore a Scottish kilt.
The Sacramento Scottish Highlands Games and Festival, one of the oldest Scottish Highlands festivals in the country, opened my eyes to the Scottish Highlands culture. This festival made such an impact on me I promised this wouldn't be last Scottish festival.
So I came back this year with a new perspective. And I left with a new appreciation and love of Scottish culture, history, and people.
This year, I had fun, attended the parades, tried some different food, and got into the spirit a little more. I even threw some haggis around in the haggis throwing contest (and yes, I ate some too).
However, the 136th Sacramento Scottish Highlands Games and Festival allowed me to study Scottish history. I dug deeper and met the people, took the time to understand the history and culture, and even explored my own heritage and history.
As we look back at the photos from this year's Scottish Games and Festival, many will look similar to last year. Some photos will show you a little more than last year.
Yet I look at these photos and see these people, this culture, and the country of Scotland much differently now.
136th Sacramento Scottish Highlands Games and Festival photos
I see a bagpiper and I don't see an interesting Scottish photo op. I see a World War II hero.
I see a true Scot in a kilt and I am humbled by his dignity, honor, and pride in who he is.
I see a number of clans and don't see a unique, fun cultural heritage with tough men in skirts. I see hundreds of years of history as I picture an ancestor working hard, fighting wars, and looking to survive in the Scottish Highlands.
These are the lesson I learned. These are the stories I will tell. Maybe the photos you see are similar to the 135th Sacramento Scottish Highlands Games and Festival photos from last year.
However, I see more than a photo. I see more than a snapshot of Scottish culture. I see living history being played out right in front of me. And I can't look at a kilt, bagpipe, or a Scottish clan the same way ever again.
Thanks for the Callie Club of Sacramento for this annual Scottish Highlands Games and Festival. I appreciate them giving me a chance to be a part of it.

Not my kind of thing, but I would love to see a bunch of good looking men in kilts… 😉
Oh I would disagree with that! Scottish history is awesome! I know people may look at a festival and think it's not all that interesting but I am so glad I've gone the last couple of years. I've learned so much and grown to appreciate Scotland and its culture and history so much more. Isn't that what travel is all about?
Looks like a lot of fun and interesting too. It is great to have a great time, meet interesting people, and learn a lot about a culture at the same time. Someone needs to give that goat a comb.
This looks like a lot of fun, Jeremy, and a fun way to learn Scottish history. Is that you in a kilt? Pretty cool!
The Scottish Highlands games just seem like so much fun with all the events and cultural experiences. The kilt is actually a good look on you, Jeremy. I like the comment you made about the pride & honor of a true Scot wearing the kilt.
Looks like fun! And you're wearing a kilt!!
Thank you Jeremy. Your welcome at our games anytime!!

Two full on days in Melbourne for work (as usual)...so this is what I managed.
The flight down - taking away my ink lines... I don't really enjoy plane sketch but I do it out of habit. Fills in a little time and a great way to at least get one sketch done. It is amazing how different my painting feels (from my usual ink and wash) although it is exactly the same.
Da Noi Dinner- South Yarra
An AMAZING dinner with the client - a Sardinian restaurant with a set menu (ie the chef just decided what to give us) Many antipasto dishes, then two 'mains' then a cheese plate and then some desserts.
I never have the courage to sketch in a work context... but as my sketching had recently become part of the conversation and my sketchbook passed around the table I thought I should go for it... AND funnily enough a cup of tea shortly afterwards arrived on the table (followed immediately by some desserts) So here is my quick sketch done with sketchbook on lap, paint tin on table.After my 4.30am start, walking around site all day, I was somewhat tired...but my reflex action of sketching kicked in! I didn't have my pen with me (so first time using pencil outlines under pressure)I added ink later and touched up n the flight home the next day)

Phasing out over the next 3 years:
With the end of TRU64, the last remnant of the DEC Alpha workstation is gone. You may recall, that Compaq transfered the Alpha processor to Intel shortly after purchasing DEC.

The primary challenge in designing NASCAR vehicles is to coax as much horsepower out of the engines as possible. The "stock" V8 engines, although limited to 358 cubic inches in displacement, can be modified to produce up to 750 horsepower, enabling the cars to reach speeds of over 200 mph on the banked oval race tracks.
Hendrick Motorsports (home of driver Jeff Gordon) engineering group manager Jim Wall uses a complete suite of SDRC software, including Imageware, for advanced surfacing and reverse engineering. "We have 99 percent of our engine in I-deas at the component level," says Wall. "We can use their CFD tools to analyze flow and then use FEA for stress analysis and checking structural integrity," he says. "And then once we're satisfied that the design meets our criteria, we generate machine tool setups to produce the parts in-house."

This new release is based on five major pillars: adaptive meshing, non-conformal meshing, enhancements and extension of viscoelastic models, elasticity-based remeshing, and a new user-friendly environment.
Adaptive and non-conformal meshing help the user to build an accurate computer model of the equipment design to be simulated, particularly for complex, real-world models, such as dies for window profiles and rubber seals, and coextrusion or fiber spinning equipment.
The advanced viscoelastic modeling capability in POLYFLOW 3.9 widens the realm of possibility for modeling tricky viscoelastic flows. Elasticity-based remeshing capabilities provide further flexibility in the modeling of flows, which deform in three dimensions.
The new POLYMAN user environment is a Windows-like interface that consolidates all the tools in the POLYFLOW suite for easy access.
POLYFLOW 3.9 is available on UNIX and NT platforms.
Post Comment | New Software
A grid fin is a lifting and control surface that differs from a typical solid fin. The grid fin uses a honeycomb design that allows air to pass through the fin rather than bypass around it.
One advantage of grid fins is the ability to maintain lift at higher angles of attack since grid fins do not have the same stall characteristics as planar fins. Another advantage is their very small hinge moment, which can reduce the size of control actuator systems. A third advantage is that their curvature has little effect on performance, so that folding the fins down onto the missile body is a storage design bonus.
The U.S. Army Research Labs viscous CFD analysis method has created a visual representation of airflow around the missile and through the fins. This method also provides numerical parameters such as axial forces and drag coefficients that are needed to accurately predict the trajectory. One challenge in developing a viscous CFD model for this purpose was creating an analysis mesh of the grid fin geometry.

The established approach would have been to change the design by either adding copper and steel or changing the ventilation method, build a new prototype and evaluate the temperature reduction achieved. This process required approximately ten iterations, each taking close to a month, in order to obtain an acceptable design. Because of the slow pace and high cost of this approach, Emerson decided to use CFD instead.
Emerson engineers chose CFX-TASCflow from AEA Technology to create a virtual prototype based on the original design.

To see if the average person could recognize the difference between Starbucks' new $7 Clover-brewed "Costa Rica Finca Palmilera" reserve coffee and the regular kind, Jimmy Kimmel sent a staff member to the streets of Hollywood to pull the ol' "Folgers switcheroo" on unsuspecting pedestrians.
Except, instead of putting regular coffee in the premium coffee cup, Kimmel simply forewent the premium coffee altogether!

23 June 2009: Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen (22) fields a fly ball during the Cleveland Indians 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Photo via Newscom

Braves (13-3) at Pirates (8-8) 7:05 PM–PNC Park, Pittsburgh MLB.com Gameday TV: ROOT The Bucs go for two in a row against the Braves tonight at PNC. It's Andrew McCutchen bobblehead night, so there should be a solid crowd (which is good, since there haven't been any good crowds since the opener). A win would clinch a series split for the Bucs, which would be a very strong result for them this weekend against baseball's hottest team. Tonight's starters… Paul Maholm (3-0, 0.00) vs. James McDonald (1-2, 5.27) What's gotten in to Paul Maholm??? Everybody's favorite Bucco lefty (in the pre-Wandy Rodriguez era, at least) has been incredible for the Braves so far this year–as you can see, he hasn't allowed a single run. Paul has improved since leaving Pittsburgh (shocker, I know) and was very solid for the Braves last year after coming over from the Cubs at the trade deadline. He faced the Pirates three times last year and went 1-1, but pitched pretty well in all three outings. This is a dangerous start for McDonald, and if it goes anything like the last one he could (well, should) wind up out of the rotation. His velocity was down and he had no location of either pitch as the Cardinals just destroyed him in his previous start. He's going up against another great lineup today so it's going to be tough for him to recover if he doesn't find his control (and hopefully some additional MPH on the fastball as well). Bucs vs. Maholm: Clint Barmes has incredible career numbers against Paul. Braves vs. J-Mac: Nothing too interesting here.

Clutch hacking and draggin at startup.
I have a startup problem with my 2003 950 adv. Its hacking and dragging when the motor is cold, any of you that have the same problem, and whats the cure for it?:huh
Best regards from denmark
When i release the clutchlever in gear it sometimes hack like the plates are not fully connectet (hope you understand what i mean?). This stops when its warm. I have read somewhere about a oil jet, do i have to clean this or make the hole bigger? What have you done?
Take a look at this thread.
Maybe it will lead you to some happy time quicker than it took me to figure it out.
As someone informed me, that's an easy one and there are many threads. The full solution is replace your disk pack for your clutch. Specifically the last fiber disk in the pack has become too thin and the metal centering rings, I think that is there purpose are eating into and grabbing the last metal disk. if you want, you can buy some time with a quick cleanup and swap. I did this because parts aren't available in Argentina.
Lay the bike on it's side, remove clutch cover, leave basket in bike but remove springs and bolts. You can remove all plates, keep track of order off things. The final metal plate will have gouges in it. Sand those smooth and swap with a plate from the middle of the pack, reassemble and enjoy. Takes 30 minutes. In reality, your final fiber disk is thinner than the combination of the two centering rings and you will be gouging the moved metal disk.
Also check your oil jet and clean it out. Many threads on this.
Thank you mototex and deepinit, very helpfull (I hope:-) I have been seaching around but its hard to find something clear simple and usefull.. Is there any pictures of the plates in here on how they should be sitting in there?
Cleaning clutch oil jet Didn't help mine
My SE has did this since new, but i solved it :
Simply get in the habit of working the clutch lever in & out multiple times AFTER cold start ups before putting bike into gear :deal
It works oil into the clutch disc that runs out while sitting.
Problem solved :thumb
Brown dog, i do that now but its not every time its working, and i prefere fixing the problem so i can drive with peace in mind:-)
That didn't work for me either. Though it seemed to help intermittently, it wasn't a consistent remedy.
Getting the plates' sharp edges oriented correctly and the fibers in the right places was what got it right for me.
Sure hope its the key to solve this problem:-). Mototex do your have any pics of how they should line up? Or is it easy to tell when you have the plates out?
Here's the Oil Jet Cleaning thread:
My 03 950A came out of the factory with no hole in the oil jet:eek1. Couldn't seem to drill one either, so bought one with the 0.3mm hole and enlarged it to 0.5mm. Bikes done 73000km with no hole and must admit that I can't tell the difference either way but never had a clutch issue:clap.
Let me know if that doesn't fill in the blanks.
Thats the link i did not see, again many thanks! This is gold to me and others!:clap
I've edited the referenced thread to make that link more obvious.

Jamuna River (West Bengal)
|Jamuna River
River Jamuna at Charghat
|West Bengal
|North 24 Parganas, Nadia
|Haringhata Farm

Jamuna River (Bengali: যমুনা নদী) is a tributary of the Ichamati River. It flows through the Indian state of West Bengal and is one of the major rivers of the North 24 Parganas district.
History and course[edit]
The Jamuna river is regarded as one of the earlier distributaries of the Hooghly River. It is said that the Hooghly River divided into three streams at Tribeni in Hooghly district : the present Hooghly River (also known as Bhagirathi), the Saraswati River which flows south-west beyond Saptagram and the Jamuna River (which flowed south-east). However, in the course of time, the connection between the Hooghly and the Jamuna, north of the present day Kalyani town, silted up and it caused the latter to emerge out as a separate river.
As of now, it originates near the Haringhata Farm in southern Nadia district. As a whole, the river is characterized by sharp bends and meandering courses. It flows through the towns of Haringhata, Nagarukhra, Gaighata, Gobardanga, Machlandapur and Charghat and finally merges with the Ichamati River. During its flow, it passes through several landmarks such as the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, West Bengal,Nagarukhra New Market-Complex Area(Nimtala Rd), Gaighata Burning Ghat, Gobardanga Grameen Hospital, Gobardanga Children's Hospital, Gobardanga Rajbari etc.
Formation of oxbow lakes and tourism[edit]
During its course, Jamuna has created several oxbow lakes. The most famous of these lakes is the Kankona Baor in Gobardanga. In Bengali, the word Kankon means an open mouthed bangle, which is worn by ladies. The shape of this water body resembles a Kankon. Hence this oxbow lake has been named as Kankona Baor. It is a beautiful lush green place with scenic as well as touring potential. There are many historical places surrounding it. Some of them include the Zamindar's house, the bamboo fort of Titumir, the famous Chandi Temple where Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar performed the first widow marriage etc. People visit this lake regularly in order to experience the thrill of fishing and boating and to enjoy the scenic beauty which comprises fresh vegetation, mustard fields and coconut trees.
Water pollution[edit]
Though being a major river, the Jamuna is one of the highly polluted river of the North 24 Parganas district. Many adjoining areas of the river have been identified as areas where groundwater is affected by arsenic contamination. This led to the possibility of a low cost river water treatment plant utilizing water from Jamuna-Ichamati at Gaighata to be considered. However, this is not considered feasible because the Jamuna river is highly polluted. Costs would considerably increase because of installation of a chemical treatment plant to remove pollutants, and the volume of water in the river in summer season is not sufficient.
Influence in Bengali literature[edit]
While mentioning Tribeni and the surrounding areas in his Manasamangal, Bengali poet Bipradas Pipilai gave an account of the river. As the merchant ship of the trader Chand Sadagar proceeded to the sea, he passed through Tribeni and Saptagram and the tri-junction of the Hooghly, Saraswati and Jamuna. He wrote: ''Ganga aar Saraswati, Jamuna bishal oti'' (The Ganges and Saraswati, the Jamuna so large), implying the vastness of the river during that time.[citation needed]

Color is a powerful signal in video; it can subtly project emotion, mood, time of day, and location. Learn to manipulate these visual elements in a variety of shots, from interior spaces to outside landscapes, with color grading. Filmmaker, colorist, and experienced editor Simon Walker shows how to simulate a light source and different types of light, and choose an evocative color for your footage to tell the story of a particular location. Plus, learn techniques to change the time of day, the type of room, and the overall mood of a location.
Simon works with Adobe Premiere Pro and the Magic Bullet Colorista II and Looks plugins, but these lessons can be applied to any color correction workflow.
Part of the job was making color corrections, is making it easy for the audience to see what's happening in the image, and to know which details in the shot are important. One techinque is to use vignettes, to subtly lead the viewers eye, towards the area you want them to be looking at. Depth of field also helps focus the audience attention on certain elements in the shot. And, creating depth of field, in post production mimics the use of more expensive lenses and gives a more filmic look to your shots. Which can also lend a higher production quality and a higher value to your projects.
So this is what we'll be looking at in this chapter, creating fake depth of field, in post production on the (UNKNOWN) timeline.

College of Liberal Arts
African American Studies focuses on the experience of African Americans and their connections to the African Diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America. Coursework addresses such topics as cultural practices, with reference to literature, history, and film, as well as inequality as it relates to issues of nationality, race, class, and gender. The major provides students with a solid theoretical and research basis to pursue either graduate professional study or employment in business or industry, and can often be completed with a second liberal arts major such as English, history, communication, psychology, or sociology.

Meringue Shells
|Egg whites
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Cream of tartar
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
In small bowl of electric mixer beat egg whites at highest speed until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar, then sugar gradually, beating continuously until thick and glossy, 8 to 10 minutes in all. Line cookie sheet with brown paper or foil. For individual shells, divide meringue mixture evenly into piles, set well apart. With the back of a spoon, form a shell from each pile of meringue, smoothing the center and piling up the sides. For a large pie, shape all meringue into one shell or pile into buttered pie pan. Place in preheated oven. Immediately turn off heat. Leave shells in oven over night, or until they completely dry out (3 hours or more). Remove shells from oven and lift them carefully from the paper. Cool. Fill as desired with fresh fruit, ice cream, French Chocolate Creme, etc. Note: Meringues may also be baked in an oven set at 275 degrees F. for one hour, or until completely dry. If served immediately, shells are crisp. They become soft when filled and refrigerated.

Our room had a great view, the pools were clean, the beach was clean, the shows were fun, the Star Friends were great, and the food was delicious. The only issues that we had was the internet access. We would lose connections at time especially in our room. If you can fix that, you would definitely be a 10!!"Rating: 9,0
