Yup, he's the same guy who, if rumours are to be believed, challenged Interpol to arrest him if they found a 'gun' on him. Well, search they did, and when they failed, he smugly told them the 'gun' was in his name! Yeah, we know what you are thinking.

Although its been almost three weeks since Ike devastated the Gulf Coast, we still have evacuees living in our community.
Residents and staff of the Edgewater retirement community are taking refuge at Christ United Methodist Church.
They have been here since September 11th and Chaplain Gary Adams says they are very anxious to return home.
However, no one is sure when that will be since Ike destroyed their building.
He is asking for volunteers to come down and entertain the guests... playing a game, taking a walk, or just talking with them will help brighten their spirits.
Many of the residents and staff of Edgewater have lost everything.
They are asking for a few things to keep the seniors comfortable.
*Men and women's socks - wide width, shin length with rubber on the bottom
*Men and women's sweaters, sweatshirts and sweatpants (all sizes)
*Ski caps
You can drop off items at Christ United Methodist Church.

Anybody know where to find a map or daily schedule for food carts?
I love eating from the street carts in San Francisco - but cannot seem to find where they are going to be. I've eaten at Off the Grid on a firday, and Mc - whatever that location is - but cannot seem to find a website that shows all vendors and where they are currently serving food. According to http://www.sfcartproject.com/sfstreet... there is one food cart operating today in all of San Francisco - which strikes me as a bit wonky. Anybody know a website that offers a comprehensive list of where and when these carts are in operation?
A hungry dude

re: Robert Lauriston
Are most of the announcements done via Twitter? Any other social networking sites?
re: chocolatetartguy
Lots are on Facebook too. In SF, they can't legally just set up at random spots, they need permits for particular locations on a fixed schedule.
Off the Grid has its own website and sends out weekly emails listing the vendors who will be at its various regular sites.
Off the Grid
Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, CA 94123
Believe me, I've searched for this type of map myself time and time again. I've even downloaded apps and they're all pretty inaccurate. The best way to get current locations is to follow their twitter accounts.
The curator of Off the Grid does a thorough job of following majority of the twitter feeds out there and he compiled a Twitter List. http://twitter.com/#!/sfcarts/san-fra... Follow the List and you'd follow a lot of the SF food carts and trucks out there.
There isn't a mapping program out there that can recognize everyone's intersections. A lot of them will simply tweet "Divisadero and Oak". Could a program recognize that as actual streets, blvds, or avenues? Hard to say...
For now, each Off the Grids are the events with a consistent location and schedule.
What's even more elusive are the underground carts that pop-up only occassionally... those I find more interesting! A takoyaki cart? Guacamole cart? Awesome!

Boulder, CO – January 21st, 2011 – Next Giant Leap LLC (NGL) announced that Draper Laboratory has committed over $1 million from their internal research and development (IR&D) program to fund the design and development of a guidance, navigation and control (GN&C) system testbed for use in Next Giant Leap's commercial lunar mission.
"A critical component of any lunar landing mission is the GN&C," said Séamus Tuohy, Space Systems Director at Draper. "In addition to landing, we are developing a system that can propulsively hop, and this provides great flexibility to perform regional exploration of the lunar surface." Draper has enlisted MIT faculty, staff and students for the development of the GN&C testbed in order to deliver a future capability to enhance the Nation's space exploration efforts as well as develop the Nation's future space technology leaders.
NGL is a leading contender for the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE, which requires contestant vehicles to travel at least 500 meters from their initial landing location. The innovative GN&C research underway at Draper will allow NGL's exploration craft to traverse large distances while flying over obstacles. This "hopping" method of transportation has many advantages on a low gravity body such as the moon.
Michael Joyce - Founder of NGL - stated, "I'm thrilled by the commitment to the NGL mission shown by Draper's team. Their funding ensures that this critical mission component will be ready to fly on schedule." In addition to Draper's IR&D support and funding from eSpace, NGL anticipates additional income via its offering of exciting and unique corporate sponsorship opportunities.
Next Giant Leap LLC is a team of aerospace engineers partnered with leading aerospace firms to provide commercial access to the moon. The team is designing an integrated system for taking small payloads to the moon commercially. They are leading contenders in the Google X-Prize, a $30M contest challenging space entrepreneurs to land on the moon, maneuver, and send back data. The team's lead systems integrator is Sierra Nevada Corporation, known for its innovation in small spacecraft. Leading the difficult task of final descent and safe landing on the lunar surface is Draper Laboratory. Draper has been involved in space guidance navigation and control since the earliest days of the space program. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the leading engineering institution in the United States, is Next Giant Leap's key academic partner. For more information on Next Giant Leap LLC, please visit www.nextgiantleap.com
Draper Laboratoryis an independent, not-for-profit research and development (R&D) organization serving the national interest in applied research, engineering development, technology transfer, and advanced technical education. Sponsors include the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, DARPA, NASA, and other government agencies. While much of the Lab's work is government-funded, Draper also performs work for the commercial sector and has a robust IR&D program. For more information on Draper, please visit www.draper.com

Pay hikes on way for high-demand state jobs
By George Olsen
The Governor's Office announced that 3221 state employees will get an average 4.2 percent salary increase. Approximately $7.5 million was authorized by the General Assembly to compensate employees in high-demand professions such as medicine and information technology. About 1200 nurses and 600 law enforcement personnel will get raises up to 4 percent while the remaining can receive increases up to 10 percent. While most of the money is to bring salaries to a level comparable to the private sector, some money was used to compensate employees who have assumed greater responsibilities but no concurrent pay hike because of a salary freeze. The salary hikes were implemented in hopes of lessening turnover. I'm George Olsen.

As the Ravens continue to prepare for the 2014 draft, we have been taking a look back to each of the Ravens draft classes of the previous seven years.
Every class has some hits and some misses and a few missed chances.
Today, we conclude with the class of 2013. (Links to the previous classes can be found via the draft class of 2012).
2013 Ravens draft class:
1st round -- Matt Elam, safety, Florida
2nd round -- Arthur Brown, linebacker, Kansas State
3rd round -- Brandon Williams, defensive tackle, Missouri Southern St.
4th round -- John Simon, linebacker, Ohio State
4th round -- Kyle Juszczyk, fullback, Harvard
5th round -- Rick Wagner, tackle, Wisconsin
6th round -- Kapron Lewis-Moore, defensive end, Notre Dame
6th round -- Ryan Jensen, center, Colorado State-Pueblo
7th round -- Aaron Mellette, wide receiver, Elon
7th round -- Marc Anthony, cornerback, California
With the departure of iconic defensive players Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, the Ravens worked to shore up the defense, grabbing a safety and linebacker with their first two picks. The Ravens made a deal with Seattle to move up six spots in the second round and grab Brown, who is expected to move into a starting role this season.
[MORE: Should the Ravens avoid 'Bama players?]
Elam easily had the most playing time among this class as rookies last season, and all indications are he will be a major presence in the back end of the Ravens defense for years to come.
Just one year in, it's too early to gauge the overall success of this draft class, but with their rookie year behind them, many of these players should grow into larger roles in 2014.
Hit: The Ravens had 10 picks in the draft, but as with kicker Justin Tucker the year before, one of their best moves last year came after the draft. That's when the Ravens signed undrafted receiver Marlon Brown, whose stock had slipped because of a major knee injury as a senior at Georgia. Brown had a strong rookie season, with 49 catches for 524 yards and seven touchdowns, which tied Torrey Smith's franchise record for touchdowns by a rookie.
Miss: Time will tell whether a high-round draft pick failed to live up to that billing. It's rare that the Ravens cut draft picks, but they cut seventh-round pick Marc Anthony. With 10 picks and only 53 players on the final roster, there wasn't room for all.
The One That Got Away: It's far too early to tell. But one of the better late-round picks of the draft appears to be Rams running back Zac Stacy, who ran for 973 yards and seven touchdowns despite having just one carry in the first four weeks of his rookie season. Stacy was the 160th player taken, in the fifth round out of Vanderbilt.

Talk about take me back! I always wondered how Gramma did this, now I know! Great recipe. Great taste. My 4 year old son helped me with this. I am going to try this with Raspberry Vinegar. I just know it will be great. Thanks for a marvelous trip down memory lane and for restarting a family tradition.
Its a good recipe, but you have to like cider vinegar. That is all I could taste. I do prefer the recipe with white vinegar and less vanilla and less sugar. Its a personal taste of course. What I did love was the ease of this recipe. My hubby who never had vinegar pie and my 5 year old son LOVED this recipe and thought it was great. I have a bit of a cold..so maybe not the time to rate things on taste... I took some of the reviews and cooked it at 324 for 45 minutes and it was perfectly done.
10 Ratings
I tried this out of curiousity but it was really good. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. Had the consistency of a custard pie. Was slightly tangy and very rich. Would definitely make again.
My grandpa always said "I like everything except Vinegar Pie". Well he now offically likes everything. I made this pie for him as a joke & he ate the entire pie by himself. No one else in my family was brave enough to try it; but that is just how grandpa likes it, the whole pie to himself:-)
This was excellent! I had a cinnamon graham cracker crust I needed to get out of the way, but no 1/2 & 1/2, cream, or gelatin most other pie recipes call for and this was perfect! The sweetish crust and the tangy/tart filling were perfect together! My husband isn't a dessert eater and he had two generous pieces. I was worried about it setting up so I raised the temp to 375 for the last three minutes and cooked it three minutes beyond the end time. The filling was not as stiff as pumpkin pie or cheesecake, but wasn't terribly runny either. The crust didn't burn, but came close enough that my husband asked about it. I might just raise the temp to 325 for the whole duration if it is a problem after I make it again. I followed the recipe exactly otherwise. It would be easily modifiable with different spices, extracts, and liquors.
Love this pie! I was reading a book set in the South and the main character kept talking about his mom's vinegar pie. I figured I'd give it a shot and man, is it good!
Tastes great, despite the name. Easy to make. Could have used more advice as to whether the filling should be slightly oozy at the 45 min mark (mine was), or whether a knife inserted should come out clean (similar to a pumpkin pie). It gelled up a lot as it cooled, but was still slightly oozy aferwards.
My BF really liked this pie. It was easy to make and has a nice custard-like texture.

Yeh just happened to me an hour ago, they only purchased 2500 points (Which is strange, they could have gotten so much more.)
So I removed all payment options from memory and said meh, there is a few games from house party I wanted anyway so I am just going to go ahead and grab them instead of going through the painful process of refunding 40 odd bucks. I don't classify myself as rich but I am single and run my own business, I have the money laying around.
Just a heads up, may not be a good idea to save credit card info on Xbox live anymore, I am probably going to use prepaid cards from now on.

The game of golf!Submitted by boloo2 on Tue, 08/12/2008 - 11:43.
In primitive society, when native tribes beat the ground with clubs and yelled, it was called witchcraft; today, in civilized society, it is called golf.
Golf is an expensive way of playing marbles.
Golf is a game in which the slowest people in the world are those in front of you, and the fastest are those behind.
Golf: A five mile walk punctuated with disappointments.
The secret of good golf is to hit the ball hard, straight and not too often.
There's no game like golf: you go out with three friends, play eighteen holes, and return with three enemies. read more »

Sharon, Pa, assiguors to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa, a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Feb. 4, 1965., Ser. No. 430,400 4 Claims. (Cl. 313231) The present invention relates to lightning arresters and, more particularly, to expulsion arresters having improved strength and increased surge current capacity.
In an expulsion arrester, arc extinguishment following a voltage surge is achieved by un-ionized gases evolved in the arc chamber and expelled with the arc gases through a vent. The arc path is thus deionized and the arc is extinguished to interrupt power follow current.
One of the primary determinants of surge current capacity in an expulsion arrester is the capacity of the arrester to withstand explosive-like pressure build-ups in the arc chamber. A proven approach to achieving pressure strength in the arrester is to rigidize the structure which encompasses the arc chamber. The strength properties of the chamber enclosure material or materials and the structural nature of the chamber enclosure thus is a direct determinant of the arrester pressure strength and surge current capacity. Additional information as to the general functioning of an expulsion arrester and as to specific known structure aimed at improved strength for such arrester can be obtained in a copending application entitled Lightning Arrester, Serial No. 237,671, filed by D. R. Parker on November 14, 1962, now Patent No. 3,209,194, issued September 28, 1965, and in US. Patent 3,040,203, entitled Expulsion Lightning Arrester, by G. Y. Hager, issued June 19, 1962, both of which are assigned to the present assignee.
The present invention encompasses structure organized to achieve improved strength and increased surge current capacity for an expulsion arrester. In accordance with its broad principles, an expulsion lightning arrester comprises a pair of spaced electrodes between which there is disposed an arc chamber surrounded by a tubular insulative member. Substantially continuous strands of glass are wrapped about the tubular member to a predetermined thickness and bonded together by means of or encased in a suitable resin to form a solid and strong casing for the arc chamber. The glass casing can be so disposed as to provide for retaining the electrodes against axial forces and accordingly characterize the arrester with improved axial strength as well as improved hoop strength and increased surge current capacity.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a novel expulsion arrester having increased surge current capacity.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel expulsion arrester having increased hoop and axial strength.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a novel expulsion arrester in which reliable electrode placement is achieved with manufacturing economy.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel expulsion arrester having improved strength while economy is achieved in reduced use of gas evolving fiber material about the arrester arc chamber.
These and other objects of the invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description along with the attached drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 shows an elevational View, partly in vertical section, of an expulsion lightning arrester constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention;
FIG. 2 shows a structural modification of the arrester shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of the manner in which continuous glass strands are wound to form a part of the arrester of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 shows a graph representing the strength characteristics of a tube wound with continuous glass strands.
More specifically, there is shown in FIG. 1 an expulsion lightning arrester 10 comprising top and bottom end electrodes 12 and 14 between which there is provided an elongated insulative tubular member 16 enclosing an arc chamber 18. The tubular member 16 is formed from a material, such as vulcanized fiber, which emits a gas such as water vapor When subjected to arc heat so as to provide for deionization and are extinguis-hment in the chamber 18. The illustrated structure can be disposed in a conventional porcelain housing (not shown) or the like so as to adapt the arrester 10 for usual end uses.
In accordance with conventional practice, a filler member 20 having a helical groove 22 and preferably formed from the same material as the tube 16 is extended be tween the bottom electrode 14 and a stem 24 threadedly secured to the top electrode 12 and depending therefrom so as to provide increased surface area of the gas emitting material for are quenching purposes. A predetermined small spacing is provided between the outmost cylindrical periphery of the filler member 20 and the innermost cylindrical surface of the tube 16.
The tube 16 is seated on the bottom electrode 14 as indicated by the reference character 26, and the top electrode 12 is preferably threadedly secured to the tube 16 as indicated by the reference character 28. When a voltage surge causes an arc discharge between the electrode stem 24 and the bottom electrode 14, un-ionized gas is emitted from the filler member surfaces and the inner surface of the tube 16 as a result of the high are generated heat along such surfaces. The are gases and the emitted gases are vented from the chamber 18 through openings 30 in the bottom electrode 14 and on deionization within the chamber 18 the arc is extinguished.
To provide improved strength for the arrester 10 against arc chamber pressures associated with the arc generation and extinguishment process, there is provided an outer casing 32 comprising substantially continuous glass strands. A tubular metallic or steel casing 34 can be disposed directly over the fiber tube 16 and crimped thereagainst as indicated by the reference character 36 and against the bottom electrode 14 as indicated by the reference character 38. The steel casing 34 thus rigidly supports the bottom electrode 14 in the assembly, generally strengthens the arrester 10 and further provides an electrostatic shield for reducing sparkover voltage as explained in the previously noted Hager patent. The fact that the glass casing 32 is electrically insulative prevents external flashover from the top electrode 12 to the steel casing 34. The word glass in glass casing is used as a convenient descriptor and is not used in an exclusive sense as to the material make-up of the outer casing 32.
In the alternative, an electrostatic shield can be pro vided by a foil 40 (FIG. 2) conductively connected to electrode 14a and disposed at an interlayer location in glass casing 320 of arrester 1042 during the winding thereof. A substantially shortened metallic or steel casing 42 is disposed about the exterior of the glass casing 32a for mechanically securing the bottom electrode 14a in the assembly without current creepage from top electrode Securance of the shortened steel casing 42 to the glass casing 32a can be obtained by crimping the steel casing 42 as indicated by the reference character 44 into suitable grooves formed in the casing 32a.
Improved strength is achieved for the arrester or 10a in containment of internally generated pressures for reasons including the strength properties of the glass strands employed to form the glass casing 32 or 32a. In both arresters 10 and 10a, manufacturing economy is achieved since the tube 16 or 16a can have relatively less strength and thus can have a thinner tubular wall of expensive fiber material.
Since the glass strands are continuous (or substantially continuous, i.e. a small percentage of the strands may for some reason have discontinuities), excellent tensile strength results within the casing 32 or 32a and in turn leads to improved hoop and axial strength for the arrester 10 or 10a. In addition, axial assembly strength is conveniently and effectively achieved by inward taper of the top electrode 12 as indicated by the reference character 46 (FIG. 1) and associated inward taper of the glass casing 32 directly over the tapered surface of the electrode 12 Without a requirement for intermediate retaining rings or the like. Outward longitudinal displacement of the top electrode 12 is thus effectively prevented and it is rigidly supported in place. In the alternative, as shown in the arrester 10a of FIG. 2, threading 47 can be employed on the electrode 12a to achieve effective placement forces by the casing 32a on the electrode 1211.
As schematically illustrated in FIG. 3, the winding operation for the glass casing 32 can use a plurality of spools 49 from each of which a plurality or bunch of continuous glass strands 48 is drawn through a resin bath 50. A strand bunch of this type is commonly called roving. Preferably, the glass strands 48 are sized with a suitable material to be compatible for adherence with a preselected resin and such resin preferably is a suitable catalyzed epoxy resin.
To minimize surplus resin accumulation, the resin viscosity in the bath 50 can be maintained at about 500 centipoises or within a predetermined range thereof but not in excess of some upper limit such as 1000 cps. To this end, the bath temperature can be maintained between 40 C. and 45 C.
The glass strands 48 are drawn through the bath 50, suitably brushed by a wiper 52 or the like to remove excess resin and directed to a' winding head 54. The strands 48 are led from the winding head 54 to an arrester subassembly or, as shown a top-to-top pair of arrester subassemblies (including in this case the steel casing 34 of FIG. 1) mounted in a winding machine 56. The winding operation is then begun.
The angle a formed by the strands 48 with the longitudinal axis of the arrester 10 is termed the winding angle and is a determinant of strength properties in the finished product unit. As shown in FIG. 4, the load strength of a glass wound tube (and hence the glass wound arrester 10) varies with the winding angle a. More specifically, the hoop, compression and tensile strength of a glass wound tube vary according to differing curves 58, 60 and 62. Compression strength is nearly constant with winding angle, whereas tensile strength increases sharply as winding angle becomes less than 40 (i.e., the winding helix is widely spread and continuous strands become more aligned with the tube longitudinal axis) whereas hoop strength increases to very high values as the winding angle approaches 90 (i.e., the winding helix is very tight and the continuous strands become nearly circumferentially disposed about the tube). Preferably, the winding angle on is about 45 to obtain an optimum or nearly optimum balance in hoop and tensile strength for the arrester 10 or 10a. However, other tensile and hoop strength combinations suitable for arrester use can be obtained with other winding angles. Further, different winding angles can be used at different points in the winding operation on the same sub-assembly or topto-top pair of sub-assemblies. For example, a winding angle of could be used along a center portion of the top-t-o-top pair, so as to facilitate post-winding separation, while a winding angle of say 45 is used on the balance of the top-to-top pair.
As the glass strands 48 are layered on the arrester subassembly during winding (i.e. about the tube 16 and steel casing 34), some additional excess resin may be wiped off by hand or by other means. When the desired thickness is wound for the glass casing 32 the winding is terminated and the glass strands 48 are cut. The arrester 10 may then be placed in a gelling oven, for example, at C. for 15 to 25 minutes. Subsequently, the arrester 10 is placed in a cure oven for final cure, for example, for about 3 hours at 130 C.j:5 C.
The glass strands 48 are then encased in the resin in a solid mass providing high hoop, compression and tensile strength properties for the arrester 10. The same is true for the arrester 1011 when wound in a manner similar to that just described for the arrester 10. It is not necessary that the glass casing 32 or 32a be bonded to the fiber tube 16 or fiber tube 16a, although in practice it may be if desired, particularly since the glass casing 32 or 32a is disposed with mechanical tightness about the fiber tube 16 or 16a. To promote mechanical grip, threads 64 or 64a can be used on the other surface of the tube 16 or 16a. The threads 64 or 64a can also increase the length of a possible creepage path from the top electrode 12 or 12a to the steel casing 34 or the foil 40.
An alternate method of winding the glass casing 32 or 32a is to use a suitably formed mandrel and follow the steps previously described. When cured, the casing 32 of 32:: can then be fitted over the tube 16 or 16a. However, manufacturing expense and relatively poor casing fit are the major disadvantages of this alternate method as compared to the process in which the tube 16 or 16a is used as its own mandrel.
The foregoing description has been set forth only to illustrate the principles of the invention. Accordingly, it is desired that the invention be not limited by the embodiments described, but, rather, that it be accorded an interpretation consistent with the scope and spirit of its broad principles.

I know when BilliardTown was up people posted pics of there home pool rooms. I am putting together my pool room and would like to see pics of other peoples rooms for ideas.
I also would like to see such pics, so bttt.
My pool room is decorated in "early garage/shop" with unfinished walls, tires, tools, and junk. Of course all of this stuff has been moved "shooting distance" away from my new (used) pool table.
I installed an air conditioner today and installed a HEPA air cleaner last week to remove the smoke from the air.
Some day maybe I'll finish the walls, hang pictures, etc. But for now, I kinda like it as it is...

Hi Bill,
You know I think that room sounds real comfortable. I think I'd like it too. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We must have used the same designer /ccboard/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I just finished installing my new (used) Gold Crown in the garage today... I just informed the old lady that the freezer is headed to Goodwill tomorrow lol The freezer is the only thing left in the way. Needless to say but she is not happy /ccboard/images/graemlins/wink.gif
My home pool room is a work in progress. The room is decorated in what I would call the "21st Century Bus Station Motif". It's still kind of stark because I began 'decorating' by removing every stick of furniture in the room to make way for the installation of a 4 1/2 X 9 thirty-five year old Gold Crown table.
However, with the help of my wife's persistent bitching and moaning I've come to understand that someone might want to sit down occasionally (even pool players) and maybe even use the room for other things besides shooting pool once in a while (duh!). Hence I've reluctantly added chairs - TV - stereo - etc.
Aside from the massive room eating tournament sized pool table centerpiece, the space now holds a couple of leather chairs - a futon couch - a wood stove for heat in the winter, a nearly full length mirror opposite the ball return end of the table - an entertainment center with componnent stereo and TV and a six cue wall rack that holds a Meucci, a Prather, a Joss (family sticks) and three 'take a licking and keep on ticking' Cuetecs (house cues for non-regular pool playing guests with higher than normal cue stick abuse potential).
The table is lit by an overhead ceiling fan light converted for maximum pool table illumination by four 75 watt directional screw in flourescents. The light fixture was chosen on the basis of the 'when it came time to set up the pool table it was there already' selection process and may eventually be replaced with lighting that was actually designed to be used for a pool table. Meanwhile - it works well enough to help me see the balls and the pockets after the sun goes down.
I think the biggest problem with decorating home pool rooms is the limitation of the size of the room itself. Most homes don't come equipped with gymnasium sized rooms and mine is no exception (25' X 18 1/2'). In most cases if you put a tournament sized table in the center of the biggest room in the house you can pretty well rest assured that there won't be enough room left over to swing a cat. Mainly because the number one thing you want to avoid is having to trip over or bump into anything on your way to the next shot. Any 'cat swinging' stuff that gets added is going to have to go up against the walls or stuffed into the unused corners - even then it may be a tight fit - hence the bus station look that I mentioned.
Here she is -
Oops! looks like the image I chose may be too big to upload. Sorry...
For things to add to my pool room (wish list)...
A spot light which can be aimed anywhere on table. A friend told me how he once practiced for leave by placing a 10" round piece of cloth on the table where each shooter intended to leave the cue ball after their shot. If the cue ball did not wind up resting within the 10" circle, then the player lost his turn. I was thinking an adjustable light would be better for this. Then just point it at the spot on the table where you think the cue ball will stop. Don't have any idea where I could find such a light. I suppose it would be best if I could adjust the circle size to be a bigger or smaller circle as well as pointing it at different locations on the table. Anyway he says this type of practice makes players really good at leaving the cue ball exactly where they want it, because you lose your turn if you don't.
Also I was thinking about multiple cameras from different directions each with its own VCR. Those survellance cameras are inexpensive and Walmart has VCR's for around $40. With this setup, I could record my playing then play back shots in slow motion to see what I did wrong/right. (Stroke, breaking, etc.)
Beyond that, pro cloth, pro balls, etc. (winning the lottery might help to pay for some of this stuff...)
I can send you jpg's of my home set up. Give me your address if interested.

Timothy Ross attainsTimothy G. Ross of Washington Township recently earned his rank of Eagle Scout.
rank of Eagle Scout
A member of Troop 343 of Utica, he is a 2013 graduate of Lutheran High North and the son of Glenn and Michelle Ross.On Aug. 14, 2013, Ross had a duel Court of Honor with fellow Scout Philip Rynearson of Sterling Heights. Both had started together as Tiger Cubs in the first grade, advanced to Boy Scouts and advanced in ranks in order to attain the highest rank in Scouting, the Eagle Scout.
His Eagle project involved assisting a local charity, the Samaritan House, to reface an existing billboard. The billboard fronts M-53 and had previously advertised the business of the prior owner of the property. His project involved reviewing the applicable ordinances related to grandfathered signs, applying for the proper permit from the township and getting approval to reface the sign in accordance with his design. His project included several bottle drives to raise funds for supplies related to the project. He oversaw the painting design elements of the sign to include the Samaritan House logo, name and telephone number.
On project day, along with 18 volunteers from his troop, family and friends, Ross cleared the overgrown brush and trees so the old billboard could be seen from the M-53 expressway. He then supervised the reface of the billboard with the approved design. He was even able to donate a small amount of cash left over from the fundraising activities to the Samaritan House.
In addition to his Eagle Scout project, he has volunteered more than 100 hours of service for his church and community. Although his troop is located in Utica, he felt it was important to find a project to support a charitable organization in Washington Township.
He is attending Oakland University where he is pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering.

Garden center may become auto service center
Pepboys proposal on East Franklin progresses: A site plan for a proposed Pepboys automobile service and tire center on the site of the existing Dickinson's Garden Center is slated to go before the Chapel Hill Planning Board on May 7.
The owners of the garden center at 1510 E. Franklin St. plan to sell the property before they retire.
Dickie Dickinson operates the business with his wife, Beverly. His mother and father started the business in 1952.
"It's under contract, and we're thinking that we will probably go through completion by maybe the first in July, my guess is," Dickinson said. "We don't have a closing date yet, but it's progressing."
The proposal is to build a 4,988-square-foot Pepboys service and tire center and a 2,000-square-foot retail building, according information on the Town of Chapel Hill website at www.townofchapelhill.org/index.aspx?page=2136.
Chapel Hill Kildare's closed: The owner of Kildare's Irish Pub said the business closed at 206 W. Franklin St. a few days before St. Patrick's Day after the owner of the property reclaimed the space.
Dave Magrogan, owner and CEO of a company that owns and manages the Kildare's Irish Pub chain, said in an email that Kildare's business in Chapel Hill was hurt by construction at the 140 West mixed-use project nearby.
"Two years of construction at the 140 West Franklin project, which restricted vehicle and pedestrian traffic, combined with the elimination of our parking, dramatically impacted our sales and made it difficult to meet our rent obligations," Magrogan said in an email.
The property owner worked with the business owners for a "considerable amount of time," Magrogan said, but finally decided to protect his rights and reclaim the space.
Magrogan said he and others were excited to try to re-launch the space with the support of a new managing partner once the major construction of 140 West was completed and parking was restored.
"Ultimately, it was not our decision to close, and we tried to resolve the balance with our landlord with no success," he said. "We would like to thank our wonderful employees, our guests and our friends in Chapel Hill for supporting us."
Antoine Puech, general partner in the West Franklin Preservation Limited Partnership that owns the property, said the pub owners were behind on rent and were given several deadlines to catch up.
"They were all missed, and we decided to take back the property and go in another direction," he said.
The 140 West construction, with the street closures and a loss of public parking and other factors, was harmful to Kildare's and other businesses, Puech said. The company owns the property that houses Kildare's and the adjacent building on the corner.
"We have other tenants who are heavily behind also in their rent payments, and their revenues are down," he said. "We have records of the sales and prosperity before the project was started, and so it's easy to compare month by month sales before and after, and there's clearly a drastic drop in the business of all these clients and tenants."
For refunds of gift cards or St. Patrick's Day VIP passes, Magrogan said to email firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Mexico Lobos Women's Mountain West Basketball – At San Diego State
Saturday: San Diego State 53, New Mexico 48
By Richard Stevens – Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
The New Mexico Lobos seemed to be storming to another Mountain West road win Saturday afternoon in San Diego.
And then the Lobos quit making baskets...
New Mexico went the final 11:37 without a field goal allowing San Diego State to go on a 16-to-3 run that pulled the Aztecs out of an eight-point hole and into a 53-48 Mountain West win in Viejas Arena.
"That's not the way that you win," said Lobo coach Yvonne Sanchez. "This is one of the most disheartening losses I've ever been through because of the lack of energy we played with"
"We had no energy. We had no energy from our leaders and no energy from anybody. We didn't play hard tonight and I have no idea why. It's like we thought we'd just show up and beat this team."
The Lobos' last field goal of the second half was an Antiesha Brown layup at 11:37. The only points the Lobos put on the board after that were three free throws by Khadijah Shumpert. Despite that long UNM drought, the Lobos were down only 49-48 with 59 seconds to play.
The Aztecs got a layup from 6-foot-4 Cierra Warren with 37 seconds to play and two free throws from Danesha Long with 14 ticks left to close the win. The Lobos kept missing shots. Warren led all scorers with 23 points and Long added 16 points.
"We just let them lob it into their big post player (Warren) and we weren't tough enough to stop her," said Sanchez. "We are not a mentally tough team. We got killed on the boards. We had people who just didn't show up today."
The Aztecs had a massive 43-to-20 edge on the boards, but SDSU also had 21 turnovers. The Lobos had 14 turnovers, but Sanchez said that was too many against a team that didn't pressure much and fell back into a zone defense.
SDSU outscored UNM 32-to-16 in the paint. UNM shot 30 percent from the floor and 29 percent from 3-point range. The Lobos got only five field goals from Lobos not named Brown or Deeva Vaughn. The Aztecs scored only 21 points in the second half, but held UNM to 15 points.
"They exploited us," said Sanchez. "We're not good shooters and they exploited that. We had people that just didn't show up. I'll take my share of the blame, but we were prepared. They (Lobos) have to understand that they have to show up and they have to understand that you have to hit shots."
The Lobos were led by Brown with 16 points and Vaughn with 14 points (one in the second half). No Lobo had more than three rebounds while SDSU had four players with five boards or more. Scurry had nine rebounds and five assists. UNM went 3-of-19 from the floor in the second half (15.8 percent) and the Aztecs went 8-of-25 (32 percent).
The Lobos' perimeter defense was decent in the second half, but they could not get the ball to drop and had eight second-half turnovers and two assists. Bryce Owens had four assists and three steals, but went 1-of-9 shooting. Shumpert went 0-of-2 from the floor with four blocked shots.
"Shooting 29 percent (29.8) is not good enough," said Sanchez. "We need to find people who can hit shots. You can't score 48 points and beat a team in this league."
Second Half: San Diego State 21, New Mexico 15
The Lobos came out of the half up three and raced to a quick 39-32 lead on a 3-pointer by Sara Halasz. At the 10:44 media break, the Lobos had their biggest lead of the game at 45-37.
The Aztecs then made a charge and at 9:13 had cut UNM's lead to 45-43 convincing Sanchez to burn a timeout. The Aztecs almost tied the game at 45-all, but the layup was wiped out by SDSU's 19th turnover of the game. The Aztecs got the tie at 8:01 on a Warren layup and that count went into the media break at 7:54.
The Aztecs' run went to 10-0 on a steal and layup that put them up 47-45. At 3:56, SDSU was up 49-45 and UNM had not scored in more than six minutes – a stretch that saw UNM miss six shots and commit five turnovers. SDSU had a 38-15 lead on the boards at that point, but were hurting themselves with turnovers.
The Lobos finally chipped the ice off their rim at the 2:21 mark when Shumpert dropped in a single free throw: 49-46. That point snapped SDSU's 12-0 run. Shumpert again went to the line with 59 seconds to play and made two: 49-48. UNM left Warren alone underneath for a layup and the Lobos were down 51-48.
Vaughn launched a trey looking for the tie, but it was short and Shumpert fouled Long with 14 seconds to play. Long went to the line looking at a one-and-one and made both to seal the win for SDSU.
First Half: New Mexico 33, San Diego State 32
The Aztecs went up eight points early and led most of the first 20 minutes, but not at the end. The Lobos' used an old-fashion 3-point play by Vaughn to grab a 33-32 lead to match UNM's biggest lead of the half.
Vaughn had a good first half with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field. UNM shot 39.3 percent in the half and also got eight points from Brown. SDSU got 16 points from the 6-foot-4 Warren, who went 7-of-9 from the field. The Aztecs won the board battle 18-to-10, but had 11 turnovers to six for the Lobos. The Aztecs shot 54 percent from the field. UNM won the points-off-turnovers battle 14 points to three.
UNM slowly cut into SDSU's eight-point lead, hung around, and took its first lead at 25-24 on a Brea Mitchell trey. The Aztecs quickly reclaimed the lead, but a Brown trey at 1:56 made it 30-all. Vaughn sored underneath and was fouled and UNM was up 33-32 with 58 seconds to play. That score and that lead carried into the half.

Pets2Bed started out as a retailer of pet beds and dog beds online. We quickly found that the market for quality pet beds was very good - customers wanted an alternative to the $20 pet bed they could buy from the local discount store that only lasted a few months.
However, something unexpected happened as we communicated with our customers... they let us know that they were very interested in new, quality pet products that were not available in traditional pet stores, or even the big box stores. So we began searching for pet manufacturers that produced specialized pet products. We attended trade shows, we researched pet industry magazines and found several companies that were operating "under the radar". We developed a relationship with those companies and have been very proud to bring their niche dog and cat products to market. Pet Products that are well made, well engineered and enhance the lives of our pets. We have some of the most unique pet products available anywhere. Please enjoy browsing Pets2Bed.com and let us know if you hear of a new product that you don't find on our website.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Australian mobile carriers have argued over the potential for significant changes in plan prices over the next year, with Telstra and Optus unable to agree on the future course for consumers.
The growth in customers had contributed to a 10.7 percent increase in revenue to $8.1 billion for Telstra's mobile business. Handset sales themselves were worth $1.16 billion, up for $856 million.
Thodey said the increase in mobile users in total had come as a result of customers expanding the number of mobile devices they owned and churn from other carriers.
By comparison, Vodafone reported a sharp drop of 375,000 customers across the year with Optus reporting only marginal increases of 28,000 customers.
O'Sullivan would not disclose the level of smartphone penetration among Optus' current customer base.
Relatively slow smartphone sales for Telstra had taken its effect, however, with the telco reporting an inventory impairment of $27 million to hold slow-moving smartphone stock.
Gartner telco analyst Geoff Johnston attributed the stark differences in smartphone penetration to potential changes in reporting sales figures by carriers.
Regardless though, he said smartphone penetration would inevitably grow to become the vast majority of mobile handsets over time.
"The manufacturers are trying to promote it that way," he said. "When you look at your overheads and the handling you might as well sell smartphones - it's way more profitable.

Just an idea
Not sure if there would be enough volume for it; but wondering if it might be a good idea to make a beta software forum... With Microsoft now publically releasing their betas, from Vista to Office, to the next version of IE, media player, etc; there are a lot of people who can (and have) had access to the betas.
Now, naturally, being all pre-release software, it's new to pretty much everyone of us, with issues that people might run into which are unique to a beta (not existing in more established versions of the given products), which being new aren't yet perhaps well known or established as of yet. There's also the matter of bugs (which people can run into from time to time), where posters might be wondering if it's more related to their computer or something they're doing, or if it's a bonified bug which others are perhaps running into as well.
Wonder if there might be a use for a seperate beta forum, considering the number of us who are nabbing these publically released betas?
Re: Just an idea
I second this idea
Re: Just an idea

Re: Just an idea
good idea!
Re: Just an idea
You should have fourthed the idea. ^^^
I give it a fiver.
Re: Just an idea
Great Idea :) In my opinion, we should do it.
The more we keep things categorized, the more easy it will be for all of us to find and debug our software.

Product description
Our world is made of rock. Although much of the Earth's surface is covered by vegetation, concrete or water, if one digs down far enough solid rock will always be found. Those who live in a landscape where rock outcrops are obvious will have wondered about the kind of rocks they are looking at and how they came to be where they are now. This introductory book explains in simple terms what geology can tell us about the world. Many objects of great beauty and which excite our curiosity, such as crystals or fossils, are to be found by examining rocks. Those searching for and examining such objects gain much more by knowing how and when they originated. In particular fossils, whilst interesting in themselves, tell us from their context in geological time of biological evolution and these clues give an insight into the origins of life on earth. Copiously illustrated this book is intended for those whose interest in geology has been awakened, perhaps by media coverage of earthquakes or dinosaurs and want to know more. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary.

Review quote
'This remains a key resource for both amateur and professional geologists alike, remarkably squeezing virtually all the basics of our subject into some 135 pages with many informative illustrations.' European Geologist 'For any basic level geology book to succeed, it needs to be well written and include great pictures and diagrams - and this book does not disappoint - This little guide (it is only 134, A5 pages long) covers everything you would expect from a basic level geology book, including the rock cycle, plate tectonics, fossils and industrial uses for geology. It also includes a great glossary, which these days is essential given that geology seems to have spawned a different language only distantly related to English.'Deposits Magazine
