"I guess it's time to give up the guns," I said to Uncle Spud as we wandered through Wal-Mart's gun shop, looking at all the empty shelves.
"Looks like it," he agreed. "I haven't seen bullets, powder or lead since last November's election. That Obama is one heck of a gun salesman. Are you sure he doesn't work for Winchester or Remington on the side?"
"No, I don't think so. It's all about the children."
"Did children buy up all the bullets?" he asked with a startled look in his eye.
"No," I scolded. "Obama says we've got to give up our guns to keep the kids safe."
"That's why I've got a gun," he said. "To keep the kids and family safe."
"You don't understand," I argued. "Obama and Diane Feinstein say you and I are the reason kids are being killed."
"Say what?"
"That's right. Some weirdo shot up a school in Connecticut a few months ago so we've got to give up our guns."
"I wasn't in Connecticut a few months ago."
"Doesn't matter. The madman in Connecticut had a gun. You and I have guns. That makes us guilty by association."
"I don't belong to any associations."
"What I mean is, you and I are guilty just because we own guns, don't you see?"
"Heck no," he shot back (pun intended). "If you follow that logic, having golf clubs makes me guilty of stepping out on my wife like Tiger Woods."
"Obama says maybe we can keep some of our guns, for now, if we just register them with the government."
"How does registering guns keep kids safe?"
"I'm not sure."
"Does registering cars stop drunk driving?
"I don't think so."
"If registering guns doesn't fix the problem, there must be another reason for registering guns," Spud said. "Everything I'm told to register with the government is regulated and taxed. Take my car, boat, and ATV, for examples. The Second Amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Registration, regulation and taxation are infringements. And, sex offenders must be registered. I haven't done anything to get registered for.
"If we're going to register gun owners because they pose a potential threat, why not register AIDS patients? They're a possible danger to society too. Why not register women who have abortions? Shouldn't we have a right to know if there's a woman in the neighborhood who kills babies? After all, registration is about saving kids. Right?"
"Then too, I'm old enough to remember that Hitler used 'commonsense' gun control as a way to disarm his German opposition. Registration is always the first step to confiscation."
"But Obama says registration is a way for everybody to have a background check to see if they really should, or should not, own a gun."
"Who gets to decide who can and who can't have a gun?"
"Eric Holder's justice department. The people who gave unregistered assault rifles to the Mexican drug cartels and used the IRS to spy on the administration's political opponents and deny them equal justice."
"Do they think we're stupid?"
"I've already passed my background check," Spud growled. "I'm a hundred and six years old. I've packed a gun since Brigham Young was a Deacon. In all of those hundred and six years, I've never committed murder, mayhem, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon or disturbing the peace. With all of the computers the feds have nowadays, if they can't find me on their criminal database, I must be clean. That's all the background check Mr. Obama really needs. Unless, of course, there is something else on his agenda."
By the way, what's this stuff about the Department of Homeland Security buying almost two BILLION rounds of ammunition and enough assault rifles to equip an army division? They're not part of the Army, National Guard, or even a major police network like the FBI. How, where and when do they expect to use their new weapons and BILLIONS of bullets?
No wonder we can't find ammo in Wal-Mart.

Ok.. this is a weird request, but let's see if its possible.
If I write an email to a group of people and I make the email in HTML format. I want to put a URL in the email and append to the end of the email that person's email address (who is reading). Is it possible to get the headers of the person who clicks on it automatically? Maybe append their email address.
Basically, I want to send an email to a group of people and I want to be notified (without using Microsofts notification method) who had read the email. If I get them to click on a URL, I can automatically (with PHP) log the fields on my server.
Any ideas?

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The SAFE Act has people fired up again after a Lockport man was charged with carrying more rounds of ammunition in his guns magazine than what is allowed.
"If you stop someone because of a traffic violation they have no business searching the vehicle - period," Attorney Jim Tresmond said. "We're going to file a motion to suppress any evidence discovered as a result of this stop."
Paul Wojdan was a passenger in a vehicle during a routine traffic stop for speeding. His gun was in the glove compartment and when handed over to officers more than 7 rounds of ammunition were found in the magazine. Under the SAFE Act only 7 rounds are allowed.
"At that time we're going to make a motion to have the case dismissed based upon the fact that the SAFE Act has been selectively prosecuted across the state of New York," Tresmond said.
Tresmond explains there's a District Attorney in the New York City area that refuses to prosecute anybody under the SAFE Act -- in particular - the amount of rounds in a magazine. This is the first case of its kind in Western New York.
Moving forward, there will be a motion to dismiss the case -
"People who go to work every day, people who get licensed to carry firearm, Tresmond said. "People that go hunting, or target shooting -- now, because of a number of rounds in a magazine we're going to call them criminals, we're going to charge them with a misdemeanor."

When I was at the Defense Language Institute, I had something of a weakness for Subway. Tuesday was our day. We would pile into someone's car after PT, all sweaty, and go to the Subway down the hill. The workers got to know us, tired Navy Sailors that we were, as we ate there all the time. The joke was that I ate a hundred feet or more of subway subs while at A School. Now I find out my stats may have been inflated:
Subway have finally responded to international criticism that their footlong sandwiches only appear to be 11 inches long.
But their reply won't win them any new fans, as they claimed that the word footlong is a 'registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub' and 'not intended to be a measurement of length.'
A man in Australia started uproar on Tuesday when he posted a photo on the company's Facebook page of one of its footlong subs next to a tape measure showing the sandwich as just 11 inches.
I'm not terribly worried. Five bucks for a
foot almost a foot of food is still a deal. I am thinking, this is a joke of some sort? Sort of an international prank?

HAMMOND – The Town Council will decide next month whether to add two new members to its joint Planning Board with the village.
When two members five-year terms expire at the end of the year, the Planning Board will be left with seven members. And thats still a sizable amount, according to Planning Board Chairman Ronald Papke.
For a small town, the size of our Planning Board is rare, Mr. Papke said. Many other small towns have five members. Ideally, I say we could do well with or without adding new members. Things have been fairly quiet and going well.
Unlike many planning boards within the county, Mr. Papke said, Hammond does not struggle with volunteer and attendance issues.
It was a problem in prior years where the attendance was a little sparse, said Mr. Papke. At least this past year, we have not had any significant problems.
Planning board members are paid a $30 stipend per monthly meeting.
Its not about the money so much as it can be difficult to find qualified, available and trained volunteers, said Town Supervisor Ronald W. Bertram. We need at least five members to hold a quorum. When members are absent, it can be difficult to fill those spots.
The board already has one vacancy, Mr. Bertram said.
The Town Council will decide whether to keep the two soon-to-be-vacant Planning Board seats at its Jan. 8 meeting.
Beginning in January, the biggest issue facing residents will be St. Lawrence Countys newly imposed $25 fee for site plans and subdivision applications, Mr. Papke said. Previously, applications were free.
Under certain circumstances, requests for subdivisions or site plans for approval will be reviewed by the county planning department for a fee, Mr. Papke said. Not every request goes to the county, and there are some exemptions.
But site plan applications are not to be confused with a simple building permit, he said.
Moving a single mobile unit or adding onto a site doesnt require site plan review, he said. It is for bigger type projects like establishing a business, and somebody who wants to subdivide or make two lots out of one.

Comments about Vic Firth Multi-Application Keyboard Mallets:
My private teacher let me try these out and wow! I loved them from the start! The M 183 gave me the power to play a rosewood marimba with out the clunking sound of some really hard mallets. I'm getting another pair asap. You need these for sure! They have the length to fit anyones needs and they are just amazing!
Comments about Vic Firth Multi-Application Keyboard Mallets:
My school has used these for a while for marching percussion and percussion ensemble. They are what the title says "Multi-Application" they work perfect in every setting, would recommend them to everyone!!
Comments about Vic Firth Multi-Application Keyboard Mallets:
My school has been using these for a long time, recently Vic Firth supplied us with a whole box of them, They are great and we have never been so impressed!! Multi-Application means they can be used for marching, concert, solo, and ensembles. Just the way we use them!
Comments about Vic Firth Multi-Application Keyboard Mallets:
My college drumline bought two pairs of the 183's and four pairs of the 188's last October to finish out marching season with. We were replacing the mid-range Van Sice's on marimba, which were great for indoor but not speaking on the field like we'd like, and some random Encore mallets we'd had for vibes that sounded like ice picks. I honestly can't find too many things you can't use the 183's for. We used them on a Yamaha Acoustalon for most of the fall with great results and then I turned around and used them on a Demorrow rosewood 4.3 for Wind Ensemble and other small ensembles, utilizing the full range of the instrument, also with admirable results. Same story with the 188's: used them all year, and didn't find too much they couldn't do. There were a couple of drawbacks though, mostly with the 183's. For one, they were a little too articulate for solo's, even for brighter solos. Also, handles on the 183's were not very resilient. One of the shafts broke after only six months, whereas I personally have mallets that I've used just as often with shafts that show nearly no wear after 2-3 years or more. The 188's, however, I can find no fault with. We've used those in marching band, wind ensemble, small ensembles ranging 4 people to 22 people, and in solo work and had amazing results in all of them. All in all I'd recommend both sets: they may well be the last you ever buy for ensemble use.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are engaged in an unprecedented effort to identify the genetic changes that give rise to some of the world's deadliest childhood cancers. The team has joined forces to decode the genomes of more than 600 childhood cancer patients. The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project is the largest investment to date aimed at understanding the genetic origins of childhood cancers. Scientists involved in the project are sequencing the entire genomes of both normal and cancer cells from each patient, comparing differences in the DNA to identify genetic mistakes that lead to cancer.

Diesels at Daytona
Diesel power grew in popularity at an exponential rate in the early to mid-1930s, buoyed by reports of astounding mileage and of the cheap price of diesel fuel versus gasoline – important factors when there's a Depression going on. Heavy haulers – trucks, locomotives, and tractors – accounted for most of that rise, and there were multiple attempts to power passenger cars with diesel engines, but at the same time, diesels became more visible in racing as well. Clessie Cummins first ran a diesel engine in the Indianapolis 500 in 1931, returning in 1934, and as we see from a set of R. H. LeSesne photos on Charles Beesley's motor life.blog, the competition for the diesel land-speed record on Daytona Beach grabbed headlines in 1935.
No. 8 Duesenberg that Cummins entered at Indy in 1931 as well as one of Cummins's two entries in the 1934 race (the one that dropped out with transmission troubles), and "Wild Bill" Cummings, who DNF'd the 1931 race, but won the 1934 race (driving a gasoline-fueled four-cylinder Miller Special). According to a Los Angeles Times article from February of 1935, the two men worked together in the early development of diesel engines, and Evans already held more than 20 diesel speed records. Their goal: to break the existing diesel land-speed record, set by Captain George Eyston at 120.33 MPH in June 1934 at Montlhéry. Evans, however, wouldn't be driving for Cummins. Rather, he would pilot the Waukesha Silver Comet, a car sponsored by Hemphill Schools, a group of diesel trade schools, and fitted with a Waukesha-built six-cylinder diesel. Not much seems to be known about the Silver Comet; from what Evans told The Los Angeles Times, it appears Evans bought the specially built racing chassis for the record attempt and that it had to be rebuilt before the attempt. He also made claims that it would be good for 150 MPH.The competition involved two former Indy drivers: Dave Evans, who piloted the
Cummings, on the other hand, would drive for Cummins, piloting the other of the diesel magnate's 1934 Indy 500 entries, the 364-cu.in. supercharged two-stroke six-cylinder that finished the race in 12th place. Weather conditions didn't look promising: Though Malcolm Campbell showed up with his Bluebird to make an assault on the world's land speed record, rain and shifting winds led to sands too rough for Campbell to risk a run right away. As the St. Petersburg Times reported in its February 16 issue,
Rain drummed down on the beach most of last night, the wind was from the west and south, and there were gullies and trenches all down the length of the implacable 11-1/2 mile racing stretch.
"I've never seen it quite so bad," (Campbell) said despairingly. "The beach is miserable, simply miserable. At this rate there's no telling when we can try for the record. I'm disconsolate."
Evans, however, didn't feel the same. Regardless of the rough beach conditions, he took the Silver Comet out the day before and ran 119.08 MPH – southward and against the wind. Turning around to put the wind at his back, he ran 130.813 MPH for an average of 125.065 MPH – not the speed he envisioned, but still good enough for the record. With Evans apparently satisfied, Cummings made his first run a day later, though to less spectacular results.
But Cummings had a bad time of it, and failed to complete his runs. On the south run his oil pressure failed, and coming back he bumped around a great deal and was forced to cut his motors as the car belched smoke and fire going into the measured mile. He failed to approach the record.
Not until March 1, with an easing of the weather at the beach, did Cummings finally succeed in breaking Evans's record, running a two-way average of 133.023 MPH. Later that month, he upped the record to 137.195 MPH, a mark that would stand for another year or so, before Eyston traveled to the Bonneville Salt Flats in April 1936 with his Flying Spray to recapture the record for the British at 158.87 MPH.

A Georgia man is being held on $15,000 bail in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building after being extradited for his alleged purchase of a vehicle with a worthless check for down payment.
Christopher C. Wash, 33, Grovetown, Ga., is charged by state police with third-degree grand larceny. Pamelia Town Justice Robert H. Austin ordered the case held for grand jury action.
After state police received a complaint on Jan. 3, an arrest warrant was issued Jan. 20 by town of Watertown Justice David A. Renzi on allegations that Mr. Wash issued a $2,670 check on a closed account on Dec. 21 as down payment for a 2007 Chevy Tahoe from Widrick Auto Sales, Watertown Center. He also provided some false documentation, according to information provided to Watertown Town Court for the warrant.
When a Widrick salesman contacted Mr. Wash by telephone early in January, Mr. Wash claimed he was in North Carolina at the bedside of his dying mother, according to a document presented Thursday in Pamelia Town Court.
Mr. Wash was being held in Columbia County jail, Appling, Ga., until being taken into custody Thursday by New York State Police.

Associated Press
With its 1991 album, "Nevermind," Nirvana put alternative rock, the noisy, icon-smashing spawn of punk rock, into the commercial mainstream. The album sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide, knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the popular music charts and established an anthem for a generation with the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
Dressed in thrift-shop plaid shirts and torn jeans, a fashion soon copied by designers around the world, Kurt Cobain and the members of his band raged against the material and synthetic trappings of pop music. They concocted a sound that was close to both the nihilistic fury of punk rock and the tunefulness of the Beatles. Nirvana's popularity signaled the acceptability not only of grunge but also of many other bands once considered far too raw and scruffy for the mainstream.
"Nirvana will be remembered for revolutionizing the state of rock 'n' roll in the 1990's, pulling it away from a processed, rather synthetic sound and returning it to something more sincere," said Michael Azerrad, the author of "Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana," published last year by Doubleday. — From Mr. Cobain's obituary by Timothy Egan, April 9, 1994

|More Bogus Bills in Lenoir, Another Arrest
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 05:45
Lenoir Police have arrested another suspect—the second in a week—in connection with the passage of counterfeit bills in Lenoir. 22-year old Bruce Angle Jr. was arrested Tuesday, charged with obtaining property by false pretense. The police release says that the investigation started three
weeks ago today, June 6th, after a complaint by Holiday Foods, when an employee reported a fake $50 bill discovered in the store's bank deposit. The employee, using the store's surveillance video, was able to determine when the bill was passed and identified a suspect in the case. With the assistance of US Secret Service and NC State Patrol, Lenoir Police were able to secure a warrant for Angle, the Clarks Chapel Road Lenoir man charged with obtaining property by false pretense, and he was placed in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $3,000 dollar secure bond.

I will be lapping main brg. case races , To do this , do I cut out the lugs and replace the races with 40 and later races? Or, could I just set up on a mill and cut the lugs just below the race surface and then lap races? I searched the archives ,and I don`t quite understand .
Thanks in advance.

Discovery Institute's theory of intelligent design only applies to "certain features of the universe and of living things." Discovery Institute's theory is limited to "certain features" but it can be expanded into a comprehensive theory of cosmological and biological origins that all Pastafarians can worship...
The scientific theory of intelligent design holds that (1) an intelligent designer designed and created the universe, including planet Earth and one form of life that has evolved, by means of natural selection, into the many different forms of life that exist today and (2) this scientific theory is the best possible and only true scientific theory of cosmological and biological origins.
The scientific theory of intelligent design does not name the intelligent designer but all Pastafarians know his true identity.
Let it be known from this day forth that Pastafarianism is a true religion and a valid scientific theory.
P.S. I love the idea of hijacking Discovery Institute's theory of intelligent design and making it our own. Now we can piggy-back on all the propaganda that they disseminate.

LaRae Owen, born on July 28, 1939 in Orangeville, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 2, 2012, peacefully in her home in Ogden.
She was a strong person with the strength that her family both immediate and extended looked up to, and she will be deeply missed in this life. She was the family leader for travel and also keeping the family bonded together. She was always a good friend to people she met. And anyone that she came into contact with she took in as her own and made them feel like family. She lived a Christ like life, where she gave to all and didn't expect anything in return. She is a light of hope and strength that this world will miss for years to come.
LaRae is survived by her spouse, Kenneth Owen; three children Leslie Gail Keele, Kenneth Ray Owen and Gary Wayne Owen that will miss her very much; four sisters, three brothers, eight grandchildren, one great grandchild and many family members and friends that will miss her too.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, Vernon Keele and two sons, Gary Wayne Keele and Jason Dean Owen.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012 at 11 a.m. Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Friends may visit with family on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary.
Interment, Lindquist's Memorial Gardens of the Wasatch, 1718 Combe Road.

Can you force a grandchild to take a drug test in order to receive an inheritance? Insist your heirs use trust funds only for tuition at your alma mater? Make sure your wife's future husbands can't run through money you worked hard to earn?
In many cases, the answer is yes—you can, in effect, control your heirs from the grave.
The issue of what you can give away and how is especially relevant now because unusually favorable estate- and gift-tax rules are set to expire. The "exemption" for both—which is the amount of assets a taxpayer can transfer to others, tax-free, either at death or through gifts while alive—is now $5.12 million per individual, and twice that for a couple. The top tax rate on amounts above that is 35%.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.
Check out the new
MarketWatch Retirement
RetireMentors: In-the-trenches advice
Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
But not for long. In January the exemption is slated to drop to $1 million per person, and the top tax rate will jump to 55%. Although many experts don't think those changes will stick because they are so unfavorable, a new regime might well be less generous. President Barack Obama favors a $3.5 million exemption and a 45% top rate.
With the law in flux, experts are recommending that wealthier taxpayers who can afford to part with assets make gifts of them this year. The rationale: if the law becomes less favorable, this year's gifts either will be grandfathered in or, at worst, won't be "clawed back" until death.
Clients are listening. "For this year I'll be filing three times as many gift-tax returns as I have in the past," says Lauren Wolven, a tax expert at law firm Horwood, Marcus & Berk in Chicago.
"It's as if a cork popped out of a bottle," adds Joe McDonald, an attorney at McDonald & Kanyuk in Concord, N.H.
As with many good tax deals, there is a hitch: Taxpayers taking advantage of the exemption by making gifts have to give up control of assets today. Typically that means putting them into "irrevocable trusts" that require up-front decisions about who will get what, when and for how many years thereafter.
So what does the law permit? Surprises, at times. Leona Helmsley, the widow of billionaire real-estate magnate Harry Helmsley, left a trust to care for her beloved dog, Trouble, after her death. Leona Helmsley also required her grandchildren to visit their father's grave once a year in order to receive payouts.
For people scrambling to set up trusts before year-end, here are some important considerations. And for those who don't have millions to give, the good news is that most of the same rules governing trusts apply to ordinary wills as well.
Give as you wish—sort of
In general the law is biased toward allowing people to leave assets as they wish—even if the wish seems silly. Nearly 100 years ago, a Connecticut court upheld a requirement that heirs had to spell the family name in a certain way to receive a payout. (It was Tyrrel.)
But there are limits. One is for provisions "contrary to public policy." This category has always included requirements that promote divorce or criminal behavior; now it extends to racial discrimination. For example, courts have struck down provisions leaving money for scholarships for white girls.
Discouraging marriage also is frowned on. A court would almost certainly invalidate a provision requiring a daughter to remain unmarried in order to receive her trust payout. But people are free to put assets in trusts that bypass the future partners of a spouse.
Also problematic are ambiguous, illegal or impossible-to-satisfy provisions—such as one that required a treasured snowball collection to be preserved in a freezer. (What if the electricity went out?)
What is allowed varies according to state law. A Missouri court once struck down as too vague a provision requiring brothers to be capable of "prudent exercise, control and ownership" of a piece of real estate so that "no further danger shall exist."
But vagueness didn't prevent Northern Trust Chief Fiduciary Officer Hugh Magill, based in Chicago, from recently requiring a man in his mid-50s to prove he was "of sound mind, good moral character and temperate financial habits"—as a trust for the man required. Among other things, the heir submitted three years of tax returns, a financial statement and a letter of support from his minister; he got the money.

So, you've made your list, you've checked it twice, and if you're anything like me you've had to find (emphasis on find) and then combine the twelve or so lists that you've been attempting to keep all year long so that you can oh so wittily surprise someone with something they mentioned they needed back in March. Now that you've got your list together, you actually have to move from the planning phase to the execution phase. And yes, you should get the things on said list prior to the week before Christmas.

Natalie L. Higley, the SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam chief financial officer arrested last month for alleged misconduct at her previous job, is no longer employed by either college, according to a statement released Friday.
Ms. Higley and several other suspects were charged with stealing a tractor, a golf cart, an ice machine, two portable storage buildings and other items from Bainbridge State College in Georgia, where Ms. Higley was formerly employed.
Representatives from both colleges would not say whether Ms. Higley was fired or resigned, saying they cannot comment on personnel matters. Ms. Higleys attorney, Ryan C. Cleveland, of Bainbridge, could not be reached for comment Friday.
An audit is underway at SUNY Canton. There is no evidence that Ms. Higley committed any wrongdoing while in the north country, according to SUNY Canton spokeswoman Lenore VanderZee.
SUNY Potsdam has not yet begun an audit, spokeswoman Alexandra M. Jacobs said. SUNY Potsdam is continuing with its initial plan, to perform an audit if the allegations go forward to trial, she said.
Ms. Higley is scheduled to appear at preliminary hearings April 15 in Georgia.
For now, SUNY Potsdam interim President Dennis C. Hefner will continue to handle Ms. Higleys tasks at his college, while Director of Budgets Shawn Miller will do the same at SUNY Canton.
Neither college has released its plans for replacing Ms. Higley with a new vice president for business affairs and administration.
The two presidents of SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam are in discussion about that, along with SUNY, and we expect any announcements about that will be made in early April, Ms. VanderZee said.

European Commission reduces Reach fees for small and medium-size companies
March 20, 2013 | Ian Young
The European Commission has lowered the fees and charges that small and medium-size enterprises (SME) have to pay to register chemicals under the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (Reach) legislation. "This step should help SMEs that produce or trade chemicals to remain competitive during the current difficult market situation," the commission says. Depending on the size of the company, SMEs could benefit from reductions of 35–95% in relation to standard registration fees, and of 25–90% in...

Courtyard Resurfaced!Monday, April 23rd, 2012
So I've been dreaming of resurfacing our courtyard space for years and years and years. Long story short, after our home's expansion and remodel six years ago we were left with hodge podge pieces of old and new concrete surfaces that never matched up. Over the years, I covered it up and diverted attention with outdoor rugs and furniture and pots in places, but oh heavens it was not an attractive scene.
We went back and forth on how to remedy the whole problem. Rip out the concrete and repour new? Cover it with travertine or slate? All the solutions we could think of over the years ended up too costly and too big of a headache, so it sat and sat for season after season.
After the back breaking job of adding stone to a smaller circular patio last year, we knew the large courtyard was a job we wanted to hand over to professionals. A few months ago, Matt found the perfect solution: a company that offered concrete restoration that would completely resurface our existing courtyard and unite it all together without any removal at all, and that was exactly what we were looking for.
Here's our rear courtyard before the work began, it measures roughly 20' x 20'.
Here's how it looks now after the resurfacing. Much improved!

Submission Hot Idea for a Faster Hard Drive-> 2
sciencehabit writes: An ultrashort heat pulse can predictably flip a bit in a magnetic memory like the one in your hard drive. The surprising effect could ultimately lead to magnetic memories hundreds of times faster and more energy efficient than today's hard drives. It also provides a way to control the direction in which a bit is magnetized without applying something else that has a direction, such as a magnetic field.

On December 3, National Public Radio's (NPR) "On Point" program featured a discussion on the rules followed (or violated) by the Obama administration in the execution of the drone war.
Three guests discussed the issue: former George W. Bush administration attorney John Bellinger; Jameel Jaffer, director of the Americans for Civil Liberties (ACLU) Center for Democracy; and the Wall Street Journal Pentagon correspondent, Julian Barnes. The trio explored the question of the legality of the deaths caused by U.S. drone strikes overseas, as well as the possible reason for the shroud of secrecy that covers so much of the policy.
"The most open secret in Washington is the CIA drone program. Although technically classified, it's something the President has discussed, the administration has discussed," Barnes said. One writer commenting on the program described the hush-hush policy as "fake secrecy." Jaffer called it "absurd."
He continued:
It is preposterous. The assertion that this program is a secret is nothing short of absurd. For more than two years, senior officials have been making claims about the program both on the record and off. They've claimed that the program is effective, lawful and closely supervised. If they can make these claims, there is no reason why they should not be required to respond to [Freedom of Information Act] requests.
There is evidence of the truth of that assertion.
President Obama himself has spoken on the record recently about various aspects of the parameters he imposes on himself before ordering the summary execution of a "suspected militant."
From his interview with Ben Swann, host of Reality Check on Cincinnati's Fox affiliate, to his sit-down with CNN's chief White House correspondent Jessica Yellin, the kill-list compiler-in-chief is gradually exposing details of the principles he purportedly follows before targeting someone for assassination.
When asked by CNN what process he uses to make the life-or-death decisions to deploy the drones to kill a "militant," President Obama listed five criteria:

Passageway part of migratory fish restoration effort in the Schuylkill River
PHOENIXVILLE, Pennsylvania - Exelon Power today dedicated its new fish passageway at the Schuylkill River's Black Rock Dam, which enables American shad and other migratory fish to travel feely northward past the dam.
"Migratory fish, such as the American shad, are a vital part of Pennsylvania's natural, cultural and economic heritage," said Doyle Beneby, president of Exelon Power. "We're pleased to join in the effort to help preserve and restore that heritage."
The project is the result of cooperation between Exelon Power and Chester County. Officials from the county joined executives from Exelon in the dedication ceremony.
"Chester County Parks encompass more than 4,500 acres, and in addition to providing wonderful recreational opportunities, they are also maintained and developed to preserve the natural and cultural history of Chester County," said Chester County Commissioner Chair Carol Aichele. "The opportunity to partner with companies, like Exelon to restore this fish ladder, helps Chester County to step-up the preservation program for the benefit of all."
In 2008, Exelon Power opened a similar fish passageway further south on the Schuylkill River at the Norristown Dam. These passageways are Exelon's contribution to a larger effort to restore migratory fish species to a 100-mile stretch of the Schuylkill River, north of Philadelphia. "For the first time in nearly 200 years, American shad and other migratory fish will have an easier time navigating the Schuylkill River because of this effort," said Beneby.
Construction on Black Rock began in February 2008 and was completed in the spring of 2009 in time for the shad migration. The design of the passageway incorporates some of the existing historical materials used in construction of a lock and canal system that was built in the early 1800s. Exelon Power has installed camera systems at the passage that are used for counting the shad and other species that use the passage.
"Today's dedication of the fish ladder at Black Rock Sanctuary is a great example of the many ways that our parks and recreation staff focus on the habitats of all our park locations, from the preservation of the Serpentine Barrens at Nottingham County Park, to the inclusion of native vegetation that provides a safe haven for many species of wading birds at Hibernia Park's Chambers Lake," added Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone. "A special thanks goes out to all of our Chester County Parks & Recreation staff who maintain and manage these natural habitats."
Exelon has been working for more than 35 years to restore American shad in Pennsylvania. Fish lifts installed at the company's Conowingo Hydroelectric Station on the Susquehanna River have been operating since 1972, helping more than one million American shad travel upriver.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Skip Step 3I used Colorfix a long time ago to take black dye out. I had dyed my hair many times, so it did not take me back to my natural color, but the color it was (for a while) before I dyed it black. I read reviews before Colorfix-ing, which said not to do step 3 (lotion, I believe). It worked great -- just skip that step!Reply to this post

Know What Your Doung Before You Do It.Hair color removal only means that it strips your hair so you can put a color over it. For instance if you dye your hair black and try and re-color it, it will not come out unless you strip it. Then you find a color close to your natural color or whatever color you want it and color your hair after you strip it. My hair was dyed black. I had to strip it, it turned an orange color then I used a dark brown after stripping it and it is now close to my color. I am not sure how this product is because I never used it but thats my advice from experience.4 out of 4 shoppers thought this post wasn't helpful.

Brown Black HairOh Dear...What a DISASTER. My fill-in Hairsytlist Dyed my over processed hair Golden Brown & got Black. DONT use PRELL, Tide, HEad & Shoulders, Baking soda... or other harsh shampoos. I bought onen only Colorfix Jheri Redding. I wasnt sure how much to buy as I have longhair. So i bought 2 boxes. I only needed 1/4 a bottle, But it was Sooooooooooooo worth it! Now i can have it on hand for the NEXT time it happens to me..and it will.. or a friend. The big tip here is: Dont use the Processing lotion as it dries your hair out and youll have to re-dye. I mixed 1 oz (1/4) of the bottle Color Reducer & 1 oz (1/4) of the bottle of Conditioning Catylist to 2 oz of GOOD shampoo in a bowl. USE GLOVES I applied it the the ends first going up to the roots. I left it on for 45 minutes under a plastic bowl cover that doubled as a hair shower cap. It came out PERFECT medium golden brown. tho i purchased the lighter brown dye just in case.. there was absolutely NO need to re- dye! IT was kind of stinky but the shampoo and conditioner took most of that away. I conditioned AGAIN under the shower cap for 45 minutes to an hour .. tho it isnt harsh.. again Just in case.. and Voila!Reply to this post

Only Works On Permanent ColorsThis product only works on permant colors, just like it reads on the box, it doesnt work with henna or gradual color restorers. In other words, it will not remove semi- permanent or so called wash out dyes. The only bad reviews of this product sound like the person is trying to remove henna dye. So read the caution statements on the box. I love this product, it works excellent if you use it for what it was designed.Reply to this post

KENNEBUNK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Police say a well-known insurance agent from Thomaston was involved with the business of a prostitute in Kennebunk - and that's why he was arrested on Tuesday.
State Police and Kennebunk Police searched the home and business of Mark Strong,Sr. in Thomaston. They arrested Strong and charged him with promoting prostitution, a Class D crime. Kennebunk police say the charges relate to activity that was first reported last year at the Pura Vita Zumba studio on York Street, and later at another location across the street.
A police affidavit filed with the court states that Strong had a close business and personal connection to a woman named Alexis, also referred to as Lydia, who investigators state owned the studio and was engaged in prostitution.
They say Strong has "significant business and personal connections to the illegal activity". The accusations, according to police, are based on computer records, bank records and telephone records. So far the woman has not been charged with a crime, but investigators say there may be more charges coming, and more people charged. Strong was released on bail Tuesday, and is currently scheduled for a court appearance in September.

TJB Interview: Nick Mangold – Part II
The first half of Angel Navedo's conversation with Nick Mangold revolved around his fascination with all forms of technology. From Blackberry and Apple devices to player ratings in EA Sports' Madden franchise, the man known in Ohio State as Mangod let you know what's on his mind when it's not football.
But with training camp in full swing and the season a little over a month away, Mangold goes into detail about his relationship with his teammates, his appreciation of the minds around him, and his expectations for the offensive line in 2009.
AN: Now, you were drafted as an immediate replacement to Kevin Mawae after he was released. How did you handle coming in knowing you'd be filling a role he defined?
NM: It was difficult coming in and having that kind of a player here before you. You have that hanging over your head. But I do appreciate Kevin. I've talked to him a couple of times when we play each other.
But he really set up the center position in New York. People really know about it because of Kevin and what he was able to do. I appreciate him alerting people to the position. I've been fortunate to be able to follow in his footsteps, and hopefully give the fans something less to worry about having me in there.
AN: I don't know how much you've spoken with Mark Sanchez since he's been in New York, but there's a belief that he faces a similar dilemma following Brett Favre. Is that realistic?
NM: I don't know how it works with quarterbacks, but I imagine it could be something like that. But, you know, with Brett, it's different. Kevin had been here so long that he built up that fan base. Brett had a fan base because he's Brett, me being one of them. I grew up watching him. But it's not like he had the die-hard group following him after an eight-year career in New York.
AN: It's definitely not Green Bay.
NM: Yeah, it's a little different situation coming in.
AN: Say it's an actual game day, what are you doing to psyche yourself up before the game?
NM: I pride myself on being a controlled-aggressive person. I'm not banging my head against the locker before a game. I'm more focused on who I'm going against and what I have to do. I'm slowly amping it up.
If you get all amped up at 8:00 in the morning for a 1:00 game, you're spent by 10 and your day is ruined. I try to keep it mellow. I let the cold ball of nervousness that sits in your stomach grow so it explodes after the first play. Then you have all that energy throughout the game.
AN: Now, you said you think about the person you're going up against. With training camp coming up, the next month will be spent lining up against Kris Jenkins for most drills. What's it like going up against him, then facing the rest of the league?
NM: Going against Kris is horrible. I have to do it every day, sometimes two times a day, and it's miserable. People that play against him — unless they're in the division — only have to worry about him one Sunday. I have to worry about him for a whole month, and then some during the season. It's miserable.
AN: It sounds agonizing.
NM: He's a great player. Going against him every day has helped me, especially last year. Being able to go to the Pro Bowl was due to his help, because going against Kris, you gotta be on top of your game every day. That was huge when going against everyone else in the league.
AN: So everybody seems a little bit easier after him?
NM: (laughs) Not everybody! But some people, yeah.
AN: Do you still see areas where you can improve when you watch yourself on game film?
NM: Oh yeah. There's a ton of stuff. It's amazing, you look at it and you're like, "I don't know how I got by doing that horrible of a job." You look at it, and there's times where you're like, "Why would I do that?"
That's a big focus of the spring and making sure I'm doing all the right things exactly at the right time. I think it's great having Brandon [Moore] and Alan [Faneca] next to me. With their kind of combined experience around me — something like 20 years — it's been great being able to bounce things off them.
AN: Brandon Moore was released momentarily at the start of the offseason. I know you have to deal with the business aspect of the game, but what was it like when you thought you'd be losing one of your guys on the line?
NM: It was tough. Brandon was here when I got here, you know? He's been a great friend, and a great player next to me who's helped me out a ton. That one-week period that he was gone was tough. I wondered, how am I gonna deal with him not being in the locker room?
But then we resigned him, and all was right with the world again. Having us five together for another year is going to be huge in making our game — pass and run — that much better.
AN: That chemistry is critical.
NM: Oh yeah. It's huge.
AN: Given the wealth of experience around you, how much of an impact do you feel a coach has in cultivating a player's talent?
NM: Well, it all depends on an individual player, first and foremost. But — especially in my situation — having Coach [Bill] Callahan come in, with the knowledge he had on offensive lines and offensive systems, was a huge help to my success. I try to give him credit every time that I can.
Having a good coach is huge. If you have a guy telling you exactly what you need to do and how to do it — and then you can be coachable and do it on the field — you have a great opportunity to do well.
AN: Do you feel like there's somebody poised to have a breakout season this year?
NM: I haven't really thought of that. Going through the spring, I've been more focused on the offensive line. We did well last year, so I would say the offensive line is poised to have a huge year. Being together for another season, we're hopefully doing the right things.
AN: So, if everything works out, you feel like you guys can definitely open it up for the running backs again?
NM: When you have Leon [Washington] and [Thomas Jones] running, you don't need to open it up that much. They get the job done. Having those guys back there and knowing that if you give them an extra inch, they're gonna break it. Those guys back there are fantastic.
AN: It definitely sounds promising. Thanks for your time, Nick. I really appreciate it.
NM: Not a problem.

Submission Scientists Embed Silicon Sensors in Human Cells->
separsons writes: Scientists from Spain's Instituto de Microelectronica de Barcelona recently found that they could directly embed silicon nanochips into human body cells, and for the most part, cells would continue functioning normally. Once the technology is studied more and optimized, researchers say that chips could be used to study cell activity, detect diseases earlier, deliver drugs and even aid in repairing cells.
