Goodguys Southeastern Nationals CharlotteWritten by on April 24, 2013 The Inside Track
Goodguys should be in the record books at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. For almost two decades they've been coming to the heart of NASCAR country and putting on a highly successful automotive event at this gigantic complex without filling a single seat. That's because, unlike other events taking place here, most of the action at the Goodguys Southeastern Nats takes place on the infield, where a field of more than 2,500 street rods, customs, classics, trucks, street machines, and muscle cars compete for attention and awards—including the 10 picks for the Builder's Choice award selected by Kyle and Stacey Tucker of Detroit Speed, and 10 other selections for the 2012 Painless Performance/STREET RODDER Top 100.
The Southeastern Nats is one of Goodguys' longest running shows on the East Coast. Every time we come here we're reminded why. There's a devotion to traditional hot rods and customs in this part of the country, and they build them with good taste and lots of attention to detail.
In addition to the stuff we enjoy at other Goodguys shows—three days of show 'n' shine, extensive vendor participation, numerous special parking areas, and a great swap meet—the Southeastern Nats offers some unique opportunities for fun—and by that we mean driving. Participants who showed up for Thursday registration got to take part in a poker run making stops at several local rod shops before finishing at an open house at Fatman Fabrications. On Friday, Rent A Ride In A Rocketship provided a chance to take three laps around the Charlotte Motor Speedway as a passenger in a NASCAR trainer car. The Rookie Experience was available for those eager to actually drive a NASCAR race car for eight laps. Saturday and Sunday provided another rare driving experience when the 1-1/2-mile oval track was open to Goodguys participants. All weekend long, the Goodguys Autocross competition at the north paddock attracted participants eager to put their cars or trucks through the cones in a timed competition. We're always impressed by the way some of the purpose-built cars perform—while secretly enjoying the occasional cone crunchers.
Of course the biggest attraction is the show cars. The variety and quality at the Southeastern Nationals is always high. Take a look at some of our favorites and see if you agree.

Overlooking the Deuce Doins corral is the Charlotte Motor Speedway HD video board. The 200x80-foot screen uses more than 9 million LED lamps to illuminate the action during NASCAR races, and the Goodguys logo during the Southeastern Nats. Photo by Wes Drelleshak.One of our Top 100 picks from the Detroit Autorama looked a little different in Charlotte. Jane Billish's channeled '32 Plymouth BB coupe was rolling on steelies with caps and rings this time—and came hoodless to show off the Hilborn-injected '57 392 Hemi.JB Junior Granger may soon be well known to viewers of RU Faster Than A Redneck? on Speed Channel. His '65 Chevy C10, built up with CPP suspension components, got our attention in the Goodguys Autocross competition. This spin through the cones put a smile on the face of shotgun rider Phil Becker.Dick Bales' woodie wagon attracted a lot of attention and a pair of awards. The '37 Ford features a Chevy LS1 engine and unupholstered wood interior panels. It was chosen as a Tucker's Builder's Choice winner in addition to Wonderful Woodie.There is some amazing work in Larry Shoaf's '27 Chrysler roadster. The 318 breathes through three Holley carbs on a Mopar 340 six-pack intake. The roadster has been driven 10,000 miles in the last three years, "converting gasoline into noise and bad hair".This event proved to us that wire spokes have made a comeback. These gold-spoked Daytons look great on Anthony Lioy's '32 Ford roadster pickup. We like the copper pearl and mocha paint, and the well-detailed blown Flathead baked up with a four-speed and quick-change rearend.Noel Clemmer makes the rounds (get it?) with his '30 coupe racer, from Lake Lynn, PA. The Model A is hauled by a '51 Flathead with Offenhauser intake and heads, and dual Strombergs—although for longer trips it's hauled by the '47 Ford COE rollback seen behind it.Norman and Barbara McDonald drove their owner-built '36 Ford in the award winners' parade before driving it home to Clover, SC. They have owned the dark blue trunk-back sedan for 14 years and got the Speedway Motors Traditional Homebuilt Heaven Award in Charlotte.
The Hottest Hot Rod in Charlotte, according to the Goodguys judges, was this '30 Model A lowboy roadster, owned by Howard Wagner from Wrentham, MA. The restored '50s survivor runs a Red Ram Hemi topped with four Stromberg 97s.This '49 Ford custom, owned by Mike and Connie Russell from Mooresville, NC, sits just right. The plum-colored coupe, with a Chevy 350 for power, features a clean contemporary interior, including a reworked dash housing a panel of Auto Meter gauges.This full-fendered '32 three-window was purchased for $250 at the L.A. Roadster Show in 1973 and photographed for STREET RODDER by Pat Ganahl soon after (it still wears and old SRM window sticker). Owner Lewis McMillen told us it was one of the first hot rods outside of California with Pete & Jake's ladder bars.You didn't expect us not to include a Gasser. Here's the historic Jim Kirby "Challenger" '41 Willys, built in 1964 to compete in the famous Gasser Wars. Now owned by Kevin Doolittle of North East, PA, the blown big-block Willys won the Suede & Chrome award.The Cool Custom award was presented to Larry Debevec's '51 Mercury. The car has a long list of traditional custom elements such as a healthy chop, '50 Merc rear glass, '81 Lincoln Continental taillights, and early '60s T-bird seats, for starters. Did you recognize the '70 Riv side trim?Black, red, and white has become an iconic color combo on traditional hot rods and Bob Raney's '33 Ford pickup truck wears it well. Raney added a trio of Rochester 2 jets to the Chevy 350. The pinstriping around the perimeter of the grille shell is a nice touch.The Caramel Carrot convertible sits on an Art Morrison chassis with an LS3 underhood. The only things missing are keys and switches—this one's entirely electronic.
The dark caramel-colored paint on the 16- and 18-inch artillery wheels continues on the engine block, heads, and valve covers, and in a low-key beltline pinstripe. The small-block-powered Deuce roadster is owned by Freddie King from Troutville, VA.Rick Hughes' '50 Ford was another nice custom Shoebox—chopped, shaved, nosed, decked, and slammed. The interior combines custom and racing elements, like a column-mounted race tach and race buckets upholstered in black with white square-pleated inserts.

Two students at a Pitt County high school were rushed to the hospital today, after an apparent overdose.
Pitt County 911 got the call to North Pitt High School just before noon.
School system spokesman Brock Letchworth says the two students were 9th graders.
He says one student was sleeping in class and the teacher tried to wake him up, but he was unresponsive. An ambulance was called, they got him awake and took the teen to Vidant Medical Center, according to Letchworth.
The other student was sent to the office for not feeling well. The school system spokesman says that student passed out in the office and was transported to Vidant as well.
Letchworth says students told school administrators they "took a pill of some sort." He says their parents were notified and both have been stabilized and are coherent at Vidant.

On March 30th, the Forth County Sheriff's Office responded to a call regarding a gun being found by a child. The responding officer discovered Corey Blue, an 11 year old, found a loaded revolver while playing in the woods behind the family's apartment building. Corey's mother took possession of the gun until law enforcement arrived.
On April 15th, Corey was recognized by Sheriff William T. Schatzman for his exemplary citizenship in front of his classmates. Corey is commended for making the right decision by immediately notifying an adult of the found gun. His actions kept others from danger and showed responsible thinking.

"(2) the protection of the physical and psychological well-being of minors by shielding them from materials that are harmful to them is a compelling governmental interest;
"(3) to date, while the industry has developed innovative ways to help parents and educators restrict material that is harmful to minors through parental control protections and self-regulation, such efforts have not provided a national solution to the problem of minors accessing harmful material on the World Wide Web;
"(4) a prohibition on the distribution of material harmful to minors, combined with legitimate defenses, is currently the most effective and least restrictive means by which to satisfy the compelling government interest; and
"(5) notwithstanding the existence of protections that limit the distribution over the World Wide Web of material that is harmful to minors, parents, educators, and industry must continue efforts to find ways to protect children from being exposed to harmful material found on the Internet."

Although voters will wait a little more than 15 months to cast a ballot for Maine's next governor, candidates are moving forward with fundraising efforts according to reports filed with the state ethics commission. Getting out in front in the cash-raising competition is important for candidates because it allows them to demonstrate their viability as well as show off influential supporters early in the race.
MPBN's State House Bureau Chief A.J. Higgins spoke with Maine Things Considered host Ed Morin to discuss some of the latest fundraising news.

Rancho RS7000MT Shocks and Struts provide enhanced stability over stock twin tubes by reducing body roll in evasive maneuvers and tight turns. Rancho RS7000MT Shocks and Struts also feature a high-pressure gas charge that separates the unit's internal oil and nitrogen to provide additional spring rate. This helps to maximize damping response that dissipates heat for better control. To further enhance ride control characteristics, Rancho RS7000MT Shocks and Struts include a hydraulic lockout to cushion the impact as the vehicle suspension is fully extended.

ATLANTA -- Friday's Wild Card playoff between the Braves and Cardinals begins at 5:07 p.m., but fans heading to the Ted will want to head over early for several reasons.
PHOTOS | Chipper Jones Tribute
1) Traffic is going to be a beast all around Turner Field. So the Braves recommend taking MARTA to the game. The Braves shuttle begins running 90 minutes before the first pitch. Fans who want to arrive earlier can take bus routes 32, 49 or 55 to the ballpark. All of those buses leave from MARTA's Five Points station.
2) For fans who prefer to drive, 11Alive's Elle Duncan suggests taking Memorial Drive to Boulevard, Hill or Cherokee. Heading southbound, all three of those streets dead end at Atlanta Avenue, which ends at Hank Aaron Drive.
3) Fans who haven't already prepaid for parking at Turner Field, won't be able to park at an official lot. All spaces have already been allocated, according to an update from the team's front office Wednesday.
4) The first 45,000 fans to arrive will receive free foam tomohawks.
CHAT | Talk smack with Cardinals fans
A few other fan highlights:
The Braves released the following roster for Friday's game:
PITCHERS (9): Luis Avilan (LH), Chad Durbin (RH), Cory Gearrin (RH), Tim Hudson (RH), Craig Kimbrel (RH), Kris Medlen (RH), Mike Minor (LH), Eric O'Flaherty (LH)
and Jonny Venters (LH)
CATCHERS (3): J.C. Boscan, Brian McCann and David Ross
INFIELDERS (8): Jeff Baker, Freddie Freeman, Eric Hinske, Chipper Jones, Lyle Overbay, Tyler Pastornicky, Andrelton Simmons and Dan Uggla
OUTFIELDERS (5): Michael Bourn, Jose Constanza, Jason Heyward, Reed Johnson and Martin Prado
Grammy Award winning Marietta native Travis Tritt will sing the National Anthem, and Atlanta Opera singer Timothy Miller will sing God Bless America during the seventh inning stretch.
The winner of Friday's single game playoff will advance to the National League Division Series. If the Braves win, they will host Games 1 and 2 of the series at Turner Field. The Braves announced Friday that Sunday's game time would be 3:07 p.m. Monday's game time would be 4:37 p.m.

Obama and Bernanke - US Economy's Yin and Yang
By: Joe DelCasino |
There is a tug of war of negative (yin) and positive (yang) energy in our economy evidenced by a stock market that cannot seem to break free from a very tight trading range. I am hopeful that Congress, especially blue dog democrats, will press the Obama administration to abandon its politics for the sake of our economy and that it will do so before our nation's yin and yang becomes Cheech and Chong, and sends our economy and our future irretrievably up in smoke!

Josh started the Foundation in 2007. At first they started small by visiting 18 hospitals. Now they'll visit a thousand by the end of their seven month tour.

East African Community Secretary General Dr. Richard Sezibera has called on EAC member countries to arrest 1994 Rwandan genocide suspects still rooming in their territories and bring them to justice.
Dr. Sezibera made the call here recently when addressing approximately 1,000 people who turned up for the 18th commemoration of the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi held at the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC).
"I call upon states to help to stop this traverse and bring the suspects to justice,'' he said, elaborating that genocide was a crime against humanity which needed to be fought by the whole mankind.
He added that Rwanda had almost ceased to exist as a nation in 1994 and paid special tribute to its neighbours who showed solidarity during the difficult time.
The EAC chief requested Africa and the world at large to now focus on the survivors who, apart from being traumatized by the aftermath of genocide, they needed help for survival.
Dr. Sezibera also pleaded with the UN to accept Rwanda to host the archive of the case proceedings and other documentation emanating from the ICTR, now winding up its activities.
The UN has already set up an International Residual Mechanism which is charged with hosting the remaining work of the two tribunals, ICTR and that of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Speaking at the occasion, ICTR Prosecutor Hassan Bubacar Jallow asked countries in the Great Lake region to arrest genocide fugitives who still find safe havens in their countries.
"I urge all states in the Great Lake region to live up to their legal obligations by arresting and handing over genocide fugitives to Rwanda for prosecution,'' he said.
While a total of nine fugitives are still on the run already one ICTR genocide-accused Pastor Jean Uwinkindi was on April 19, 2012 handed over to the Rwandan government for prosecution.
Acting Arusha mayor Matthysen Paul, for his part, said: "I call upon the East African Community and the African Union to strongly say never again to genocide,''
The occasion, which was organized by the Rwandan diaspora in Arusha, was preceded by prayers conducted by various religious leaders, including Christians and Muslim denominations.

Associated Press Release
MARIANNA, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a North Carolina motorcyclist has died and two others face charges after a road rage incident in Florida's Panhandle.
Terry Joe Gibbs died Wednesday. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office says Gibbs was injured June 17 when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle at a gas station in Marianna.
The sheriff's office tells The News Herald (http://bit.ly/17EJxb7 ) that shots had been fired into the vehicle. Authorities say the altercation stemmed from a road rage incident involving Gibbs, two other North Carolina motorcyclists and another driver.
The two other motorcyclists have been arrested. One faces burglary and criminal mischief charges and the other faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
Neither Gibbs' hometown nor his injuries were disclosed by the sheriff's office.

Latex and Lyx
Subject description: scientific word processing
Latex and Lyx
Latex is the Textprocessing of the Engeneering/Scientific world. Lyx is a powerful Latex document editor. I found forum member didiks small "texlive_2009" package very usefull. (puppy size 170 MB, hum, I know what you wanna say, but well thats really small/minimum for a Latex/Tex package).
I uploaded the package with python removed (its just around 3 MB in the sfs file) to
File is called Latex_Lyx_v09.sfs (made and tested in Puppy 431)
it needs Python preinstalled! (e.g. from the devx.sfs)
I am sure there are some fonts and styles removed from the package, so if you need very specific formating one has to figure out how to include that. Maybe keep us posted about success/problems here?

Post subject: Aspell spellchecking German package
I uploaded a German spellchecking package to
. It works (place the cursor over text), but is not as sophisticated than e.g. Windows spellchecker.
It is also necessary to set the language in the Lyx menu (Tools/preferences/language settings).

Post subject: adjust Fontsize in the Lyx GUI
Subject description: it is a Qt application so use qt config
The default fontsize in the Lyx Gui was too small for me. I spent a long time in the various menus and tried to find a possibility to use bigger fonts for that.
This search was completely unsuccessful!
After some googling I found that this is adjusted over the command
in a Terminal. It brings up a nice gui where you can configure the appearance of Qt applications. Oh - and this means with the Latex/Lyx Package you also have Qt 4.4.2 installed (but I guess not the dev package).

Jawi export
Hi myman,
unfortunatly I have no experience with other main character sets than the latin one. Maybe you ask for support on the lyx support forum (try to prepare a Minimum working example of your problem and also post input and output files and error messages).
A brief googling showed my that there are also many institutions in the Arabic/Asian world use Latex and also Lyx, maybe someone there can give help in setting up your system.
If you are successfull it would be very nice if you could post a brief howto

Post subject: Latex_Lyx works in new slacko RC
Although its a bit old
still works in new slacko RC.
To change GUI font sizes you need to run qtconfig from the commandline.
For importing tex files python is needed (e.g. install the devx.sfs).
There is also Lyx 2.01 in one of the slackware repositories, but there are tons of dependencies and ppm gave "too many dependencies", with already 680 MB listed!
I still marvel how didik managed to get texlive, lyx and qt in a 170 MB sfs.

sorry for late reply. I have a slow internet connection atm and I don't check the forum often.
Do you refer to these Latex packages?
I don't have those latex packages ( and all of my other development files) at my current computer, so I downloaded the "MIN" package and checked if "latex" works there - it did. I cannot download the full package because the pac kage will exhaust my bandwith.
Latex is installed at the default location and there need some environmental variables to be set for the correct paths. Normally there is a script contained in the sfs in the /etc/profile.d folder - this is called each startup.
I added a pinstall.sh, because of shinobars sfs load on th fly, so those variables are also set when the sfs is loaded "on the fly". Disclaimer:
I only checked the packages with lupu 511 and slacko, so there might be problems with other puppies, but I hope not. Please let me know if it works....
kind regards

@ emil,
Thanks for the good job, I'm using your "texlive-2011-FULLAPP.sfs" for a while, now on saluki but previously also on sagelive.
Have you any plan to update your packages to texlive 2012 officially published lately? what about sagelive or sage package?

Hi owari,
I am happy you like it. I have no definitive plans for updating atm, because I have to run my business and follow some non-computer related projects. Beside that I need time for kids and family. But maybe there is a window in fall where I can make an update for texlive.
Regarding the sage package: this is easily compiled by any puppy version out there - turning it into an sfs is also easy, because it is self contained and resides in its own subdirectory so maybe somebody else can have a try to create that package.
Regarding sagelive I am a bit undecided on the base I should build it (32 bit vs 64 bit, Saluki, or Wary, or maybe just stick with the old adapted lupu 511 quickset version. I was also drawn to using the minimal debian live approach from sickgut with the jwm window manager because of the apt-get advantage.

Although by myself use Saluki but I'm also waiting for JBV and saintless's FoxyRoxy based on sickgut's pussy and of course your sagelive, as I am now trying to solve my equations using sage! lupu is a bit old, both in kernel and in apps and although it is based on ubuntu but not all the ubuntu packages in ubuntu repos are installable on it (dependency problems), Saluki is not based on debian or ubuntu but I have installed a deb package on it that was not installable even on Debian itself (due to newer required dependencies not met with even wheezy!)!!!
Anyway, Saluki is my suggestion but the choice is yours!

Dear infamousj,
you are welcome!
Also I want to give a reference to some later work on this topic (I copy my posts from sage live thread). I guess the info was a bit lost there and hard to find:
Texlive 2011 package:
I have prepackaged the following (from small to large, small packages are subsets of the larger ones):
(18 MB) just bare minimum
(177 MB) has LaTeX and recommended packages
(334 MB) famous TeTeX distribution
(551 MB) full Texlive sans docs and source
(1489 MB) full TexLive Package
(939 MB) Docs and Sourcecode
Those were made in Sage Live, but I *think* it should work in most puppies. Sure these are huge files, but they are a lot smaller than a download of the full distribution (2.4 GB on DVD iso).
Download texlive prepackaged
There is an installer which can be used to download a custom package. It is fine for full install puppies, but for frugal installs it is not straightforward how to avoid full savefiles/disks and to build a custom sfs package (it's not too difficult either).
Lyx 2011:
Take care

Wow! Thanks a lot. I will now try to learn how to install sfs and pet.
Is it hard in principle to update those to the latest TexLive and Lyx? Is there a script or an algorithm to follow to rebuild them and from what sources? (for Puppy Precise)

Asthma: Identifying Your Triggers
Asthma is a long-lasting (chronic) disease of the respiratory system. It causes inflammation in tubes that carry air to the lungs (bronchial tubes). The inflammation makes your bronchial tubes likely to overreact to certain triggers. An overreaction can lead to decreased lung function, sudden difficulty breathing, and other symptoms of an asthma attack.
If you avoid triggers, you can:
- Prevent some asthma attacks.
- Reduce the frequency and severity of some attacks.
You may not be able to avoid or even want to avoid all your asthma triggers. But you can identify many things that trigger your symptoms by:
- Monitoring your lung function (peak expiratory flow). Your lungs will not work as well when you are around a trigger.
- Being tested for allergies. If you have allergies, the substances to which you are allergic can trigger symptoms.
An asthma trigger is something that can decrease lung function and lead to sudden difficulty breathing and other symptoms of an asthma attack. When you are around a trigger, you are at increased risk for an asthma attack. A severe attack may mean you have to go to the hospital.
Some triggers are substances you may be allergic to (allergens). These triggers may include:
- House dust mites .
- Cockroaches.
- Animal dander .
- Indoor mold.
- Pollen.
Other triggers are not allergens—they can cause asthma symptoms, but you are not allergic to them. These include:
- Cigarette smoke and air pollution.
- Upper respiratory infections such as colds, influenza (flu), and sinusitis.
- Exercise. Many people with asthma have symptoms when they exercise.
- Dry, cold air.
- Medicines, such as beta-blockers, aspirin, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- In adults, hormones, including those involved in pregnancy and menstrual periods. Your symptoms may change just before or during periods.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) . Some experts debate whether GERD makes asthma worse. Studies have shown conflicting results as to whether GERD triggers asthma.1
Test Your Knowledge
A trigger is anything that can lead to an asthma attack.
This answer is correct.
A trigger is anything that can lead to an asthma attack. A trigger can be irritants in the air, substances to which you are allergic, or other factors, such as respiratory viruses, exercise, or dry, cold air.
This answer is incorrect.
A trigger is anything that can lead to an asthma attack. A trigger can be irritants in the air, substances to which you are allergic, or other factors, such as respiratory viruses, exercise, or dry, cold air.
Identifying asthma triggers helps you know what increases your asthma symptoms. If you avoid triggers, you may be able to:
- Avoid an asthma attack altogether.
- Reduce the length and severity of an asthma attack.
Test Your Knowledge
Avoiding asthma triggers can help you avoid an asthma attack or reduce its length and severity.
- Identify possible asthma triggers. A trigger is anything that can lead to an asthma attack. When you are around something that triggers your symptoms, keep track of it. This can help you find a pattern in what triggers your symptoms. Record triggers in your asthma diary(What is a PDF document?) or on your asthma action plan.
- Monitor your lung function. A trigger may not always cause symptoms. But it can still narrow your bronchial tubes, which makes your lungs work harder. To identify triggers that do not always cause immediate symptoms, measure your peak expiratory flow (PEF) throughout the day. PEF will drop when your bronchial tubes narrow, so your PEF will drop when you are near things that trigger symptoms. Measure your PEF when you are around common irritants such as pollens and smoke to see if they are triggers.
- Be tested for allergies. Skin or blood testing may be used to diagnose allergies to certain substances. Skin testing involves pricking the skin on your back or arms with one or more small doses of specific allergens. The amount of swelling and redness at the sites where your skin was pricked is measured to identify allergens to which you react. If your PEF drops when you are near an allergen, consider being tested for this allergen.
- Share your trigger record with your doctor. After you have found some things that may trigger your asthma, you and your doctor can devise a plan for how to deal with them.
Test Your Knowledge
Monitoring your lung function and being tested for allergies are two ways you can identify asthma triggers.
Now that you have read this information, you are ready to start identifying your asthma triggers. Let your doctor know of any triggers you discover.
If you have questions about this information, take it with you when you visit your doctor.

Good morning everyone Well it looks like winter is well and truly on the way this time as its only 6 degrees here this morning and dont my old bones know it.
Well you wouldnt think it at my age, but Im back to school today; well in a way that is. Im going to be taught how to prepare a Power Point Presentation which will be quite an achievement, as computers and I dont usually get along together too well. You may remember some time ago I mentioned that after giving a talk at one of our Bromeliad society meetings about growing bromeliad seed had written a small booklet on the topic as well. Well our society has just purchased a new projector which when used in conjunction with a laptop computer will be used to give presentations on various topics to members.
One of the members gave a short demo on how it works at the last meeting and it was suggested that I be the Guinea Pig and prepare a Power Point Presentation on the same topic as the booklet as there was a lot of interest in it at the time of writing. When I said the only power point I knew was the one you plugged the kettle into, our sales manager offered to show me how to prepare one of these presentations, so thats where Im off to today. By the way, if any more of the members on this site didnt see my offer of a copy of this little booklet previously, its still available, (free) to anyone who would like one. All I need is your email address and Ill send a copy as soon as my Emails are sorted out and working again.
Sue So good to see you back again. Its always great to once again meet up with friends. It looks like youre still signed in here and the new computer is behaving itself so hopefully we may hear more from you in the future, I hope so. The point you make about not mentioning personal information on here is a very good one and I know Ive sometimes been guilty of it as with a small friendly group such as this we tend to think we are the only ones who can read what we write and forget the rest of the world is watching as well, a good example is a lot of the problems young kids are now experiencing worldwide which have often started with an innocent Face Book entry.
Shirley What I wrote is what I do as far as insecticides are concerned and there are many more experienced growers than I who may well have other ideas, but then I was always probably a bit overcautious in most things person especially poisons. The bromeliad forum I visit daily and have done since it first started is simply called The Bromeliad Forum (It was originally called the Bromeliad and Air Plant Forum but the name has recently been changed). Originally I always visited the bromeliad section of the Garden Web Forums which is still operating but now with fewer members in the bromeliad section as they have mostly changed over to the new one or like me there are still a few of us on both. The reason the new forum was started was that although the Garden Web was a great site and a wonderful learning tool for bromeliad growers, it wasnt a dedicated bromeliad site. It was much like Daves Garden and covered all aspects of other plants and gardening as well. With the new site, it is just about bromeliads and the members range in experience from the newbies right through to the international professionals which is why its so good. Everyone shares information and there are constantly good tips there from the experts who along with everyone else willingly answer questions and identify plants. To look at and/or join either of these sites, go to http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/bromeliad/ for the Garden Web forums or go to http://www.bromeliadforum.za.net/forum/index.php for the newer Bromeliad Forum which I find much better as its much more user friendly once you get familiar with it.
Thats a nice Ae Ensign you have there Shirley, its always been a plant Ive much admired, however also one Ive never have any luck with as it always seems to just go backwards down here. I dont know whether or not its too cold in winter or maybe the local clone isnt a good one, who knows? Maybe I need to get a clone from another state and try again as Ive tried the local one three times already. Are there any special tips associated with growing this plant? I dont have any problem growing the other orlandianas or the Reverse Ensign for that matter, just this one.
I suspect the plant you list as Bill. pyramidalis striata could be Bill. Fosters striate (See Wendys pic in recent post). I havent seen a variegated Bill. pyramidalis except for Kyoto which is an albo-marginated plant and very different. However that doesnt mean one doesnt exist as plants sometimes mutate and produce a sport entirely different to the original. You may have something completely new and different there but we wont know until it flowers so I hope you will post a pic as I will be interested to see it.
Mike I havent seen you on here before, but then Im only a recent blow-in and havent been posting for long. I hope you stay around for a bit as its pretty lonely being the only bloke here. I think the girls seem to frighten off the other blokes that have occasionally posted as they dont seem to stay around for long.
I love your three pics, all nice well grown plants, I have the Kiwi Sunset as well as Kiwi Dusk and Kiwi Cream, but they arent grown as well as yours. Kiwi Cream put up a spindly looking flower spike and then the leaves all started to die, very disappointing. The other two grow well but I just dont seem to be able to get the colour in them that other growers do; do you have any cultural tips?
The Ae. Harvs Pride is a real "beaut" and beautifully grown as well. Do you live up north in the warmer climate? Id love to get one of these but fear the cold winter down here wouldnt agree with it. The Neo Groucho is certainly something different, is that one of Chester Skotaks (very pricey) hybrids? All nice plants Mike and I hope you stay around and share your pics with us.
Colleen Im a bit slack as I saw that I had a D-Mail yesterday and didnt get around to opening it but Ill answer it today I promise. As for the Something Special seedlings, I seem to be finding more every time I sort out plants and the latest ones although still only about 6 high do have nice wide leaves, so fingers crossed for a good one amongst them. Your pic looks like a Neo. concentrica or hybrid from it. I bred quite a few of these with my fist cross and it looks very similar to some of those, was it one of the early pups I sent you with just a number on the name tag? If so let me know and Ill find the name for you. Its been a bit chilly here as well but Im pleased to say, not as cold as it is down your way.
A few pics to finish with now firstly a little Orthophytum Sucrei, 2nd is Nid. Procerum Orange 3rd is Nid. Procerum Tangerine, 4th is one of my own seedlings Neo Bea Hanson x Rosea Striata and finally the beautiful Neo. Pink Sensation.
All the best, Nev.

Video: In Final Debate, Obama, Romney Spar Over Foreign Policy
(CBS News) - Kicking off the final debate before the presidential election, President Obama and Mitt Romney exchanged harsh words tonight over the best path for guiding American foreign policy, with Mr. Obama accusing Romney of "wrong and reckless leadership" and Romney targeting the president over his vision for the Middle East.
In an aggressive attack of his rival right out of the gate, Mr. Obama attempted to undermine Romney's record on Iraq and Afghanistan, which he cast as muddled and inconsistent, and called for "strong and steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map." He also accused Romney of espousing regressive policies -- relating to foreign policy and otherwise -- that hearken back to the past rather than the future.
"You say that you're not interested in duplicating what happened in Iraq. But just a few weeks ago, you said you think we should have more troops in Iraq right now," Mr. Obama said. "Every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong. You said we should have gone into Iraq, despite that fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction. You said that we should still have troops in Iraq to this day. You indicated that we shouldn't be passing nuclear treaties with Russia despite the fact that 71 senators, Democrats and Republicans, voted for it. You said that, first, we should not have a timeline in Afghanistan. Then you said we should. Now you say maybe or it depends, which means not only were you wrong, but you were also confusing in sending mixed messages both to our troops and our allies."
Romney, meanwhile, immediately questioned Mr. Obama's reaction to the Arab Spring, and argued that "what we're seeing is a pretty dramatic reversal in the kind of hopes we had for that region."
"We can't kill our way out of this mess," Romney said, before calling for a "comprehensive and robust strategy" to help "the world of Islam and other parts of the world, reject this radical violent extremism."
"With the Arab Spring, came a great deal of hope that there would be a change towards more moderation, and opportunity for greater participation on the part of women in public life, and in economic life in the Middle East," he said. "But instead, we've seen in nation after nation, a number of disturbing events. Of course we see in Syria, 30,000 civilians having been killed by the military there. We see in -- in Libya, an attack apparently by, I think we know now, by terrorists of some kind against -- against our people there, four people dead."
Returning repeatedly to the nuclear threat in Iran, Romney argued that the nation is "four years closer to a nuclear weapon" and that Mr. Obama had "wasted" the last four years.
Mr. Obama, meanwhile, countered that the sanctions his administration has imposed on Iran have been working, leading to the nation to its "weakest point economically, strategically, militarily than in many years."
"As long as I'm President of the United States, Iran will not get a nuclear weapon," he said.
The president defended his record on Iraq and Afghanistan, and argued that drawing down the wars there allowed him to refocus the administration's attention on "who actually killed us on 9/11."
"As a consequence, Al Qaeda's core leadership has been decimated," he said. "We're now able to transition out of Afghanistan in a responsible way, making sure that Afghans take responsibility for their own security. And that allows us also to rebuild alliances and make friends around the world to combat future threats."
The 90-minute debate, which is being held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., will be divided into six 15-minute segments. The topics include "America's role in the world," Afghanistan and Pakistan, "The Rise of China and Tomorrow's World," Israel and Iran, and "The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism," which has been allotted two segments.

Pastor your a blessing! My name is sister nomonde sir I saw myself laughing in the spirit and also yesterday (06 april 2016) my mother arrived from work and burstered into the house and said I don't want no child of mine going into the the street, the mineworkers are strikking!" As she was busy talking I was preparing myself for the midweek service, she then ran and stood at the door and said how can you have such boldness when you know that this is happening and I replied and said I am going to church to pray for this town and their People there's no use for me to be here in the house when this strike won't take place! And at that time there wasn't any sign of that. As I was I a taxi I saw a vision of the mine workers with their tools parading the street, then I put a stop to the vision by imagining them putting down their tools #seeingIntoRealities and I thanked the holy spirit! As I got home I was busy with my mothers phone and saw a text message which said there won't be any strike they should report to work tomorrow morning! God is amazing

There are always those B horror movies that audiences love to make fun of. They have low budgets, no-name actors, and special effects that take something that is supposed to be terrifying, and make it into something absolutely hilarious. These kinds of movies paved the road for the slasher film Scream, which makes fun of the conventional tropes of horror films. With one of our Scream Costumes, you can become Ghostface, and absolutely terrorize the innocent bystanders at your Halloween party. Since Scream is all about the deconstruction of the horror genre, and an examination of the things that make the films fun, you can play up all of the usual methods if you'd like, and really have fun with your character.
Ghostface is not the kind of guy you want to mess with. Wearing a creepy black cloak with a white mask, he looks just like a ghost. But unlike an actual ghost, this guy can wield a knife and take down unsuspecting teenagers. We've got a number of costumes for the character, ranging from different kinds of robes, and some masks with blood on them, to ones for women or children. It's never too early to get your child interested in the horror film genre, as these films can be loads of fun for the whole family. They may be a little bit violent, but blood's everywhere. It's no big deal.

- Title
- The X-ray emission in post-merger ellipticals
- Author(s)
- O'Sullivan, Ewan; Forbes, Duncan A.; Ponman, Trevor
- Abstract
- The evolution in X-ray properties of early-type galaxies is largely unconstrained. In particular, little is known about how, and if, remnants of mergers generate hot gas haloes. Here we examine the relationship between X-ray luminosity and galaxy age for a sample of early-type galaxies. Comparing normalized X-ray luminosity to three different age indicators, we find that LXLB increases with age, suggesting an increase in X-ray halo mass with time after the last major star formation episode of a galaxy. The long-term nature of this trend, which appears to continue across the full age range of our sample, poses a challenge for many models of hot halo formation. We conclude that models involving a declining rate of type Ia supernovae, and a transition from outflow to inflow of the gas originally lost by galactic stars, offer the most promising explanation for the observed evolution in X-ray luminosity.

Stanford University, officially named Leland Stanford Junior University, was opened in 1885 and is located in the Palo Alto region of California. Stanford was established by Governor Leland Stanford and his wife Jane as a memorial for their son. Stanford University is also private institution with ties to Stanford Business School, Stanford School of Medicine, Stanford Law School and Stanford School of Engineering. Players rush the field proudly wearing Cardinal red and white jerseys. Stanford Cardinal football kicked off in 1892, and fans can visit Stanford's impressive Hall of Fame, which is located on campus.
The Cardinal takes on the competition in college football at Stanford Stadium. Every year the Cardinal meets up with the California Golden Bears for a colossal showdown coined "The Big Game". The winners of this annual game are given the "Stanford Axe" as a trophy. The conclusion of The Big Game in 1982, simply called "The Play", is still considered one of the biggest plays of all-time.The Cardinal is consistently competitive in basketball as well, so head over to Maples Pavilion for a Stanford basketball game. The Flint Center, the Fox Theatre and Shoreline Amphitheater are all great entertainment venues.

text: Home Culture Black Feminism, Tyler Perry Style Why Ntozake Shange's feminist message of gender equality, reproductive justice and sexual liberation has been seriously compromised in the hands of the hit filmmaker. By: Salamishah Tillet Posted: Nov. 11 2010 12:43 AM 0 Janet Jackson in For Colored Girls (Quantrell Colbert) Leave it to Tyler Perry, a man best known for playing Madea, a modern-day Mammy, to try to redefine black feminism for the mainstream. Perry admits that he didn't know much about Ntozake Shange's choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, but that didn't stop him from taking on this black feminist bible nevertheless. First produced on Broadway in 1976, For Colored Girls was written by Shange during the height of both the black power and feminist movements. Shange's play, much like the 1970s debuts of Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye and Alice Walker's The Third Life of Grange Copeland, was a coming-of-age story that uniquely featured the point of view and political experiences of black women. Breaking long-standing cultural silence on topics such as domestic violence, sexual abuse and abortion in the experimental form of a choreopoem that combined words with movement, Shange created what the New Yorker's Hilton Als once described as a "firebomb of a poem. Through the 'colored girls,' the disenfranchised heard a voice they could recognize, one that combined the trickster spirit of Richard Pryor with a kind of mournful blues." But the play's boldness was not simply in its diagnoses of black women's blues but in its unwavering belief that black feminism was a viable remedy for those blues. Soyica Diggs Colbert, a scholar of African-American theater at Dartmouth College, says that the play's ultimate message was always one of black freedom. "Through dancing, singing and coming together," Dr. Colbert notes, "or what the play describes as 'a layin on of hands,' the women developed rites that begin to repair the damage caused by domestic and sexual violence. No easy resolution, but a triumphant one nonetheless." In the hands of Perry, one of Hollywood's most conservative black evangelical voices, Shange's feminist message of gender equality, reproductive justice and sexual liberation has been seriously compromised. Perry's brand of female empowerment has always been more about his ability to tell black women's stories (even, as in the case of Madea, when the women aren't real) than, as Courtney Young writes for the Nation, "revolutionizing the marginalized way that black womanhood has been portrayed in popular culture." By trafficking in old stereotypes of the asexual, black Mammy, as in Madea -- or newer stereotypes like the castrating yet professionally ambitious black woman, like the character Jo (played by Janet Jackson) that he adds to For Colored Girls -- Perry's vision primarily reproduces rather than reduces negative representations of black women on-screen. By contrast, Shange literally sought to diversify the representations of black women -- thus the seven colored girls as narrator -- as well as provide her audience with a certain brand of black feminism: cosmopolitan, sexual, collaborative and freeing. But Perry's For Colored Girls rewrites many of Shange's most powerful scenes, replacing sexual autonomy with moral approbation, substituting female resistance with victim blaming. This dichotomy is especially acute in the film's adaptation of the Lady in Yellow monologue. In the play, she delivers a lush monologue about her past experience of cruising, dancing and losing her virginity on graduation night. In the film, these same words are now recited by a teenage girl, Nyla (Tessa Thompson), whose bold act of sexual possession is eventually mocked by her mother, Alice (a new character introduced by Perry and played by Whoopi Goldberg). But even more violently, under Perry's disapproving directorial eye, Nyla is punished for her sexual curiosity. Her beautiful story of sexual awakening becomes merged with the original Lady in Blue's tale of a pre-Roe v. Wade back-alley abortion. The end result is a moralizing sermon against black women's promiscuity and sexual agency, and more subtly against choice itself. All the pain, without black feminist pleasure. One has to wonder what For Colored Girls would have looked like if directed by the African-American filmmaker Nzingha Stewart, who wrote the original screenplay, to which Perry later bought the rights. As her sleek black-and-white video for Bilal's "Soul Sista" and her thoughtful short film South Central indicate, Stewart had not only the chops to take on Shange's gravitas but also her graceful rhythms and visual sensuality. But the fact remains that, for the most part, black women filmmakers do not have the requisite "money" or "trust" to tell their own stories (or those of other black women writers) in Hollywood. Ultimately, Perry's For Colored Girls could reach a larger audience than Shange could ever have imagined the stage and page versions reaching. Much like Lee Daniels' award-winning film Precious, Perry's version stands to usurp the original, not just in popularity but also in political message. Because of this, we need to celebrate Perry's ability to pull out the brilliant and magical performances provided by actresses like Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose and Phylicia Rashad and revel in his rare commitment to an all-black women's ensemble. At the same time, we must remain hyper aware that Perry's For Colored Girls does little to dispel the sexual stereotypes and victim blaming of black women in contemporary American politics and popular culture -- especially of those women who have endured sexual assault, domestic violence, infertility and sexual transmitted infections. (Here, I should mention that Perry's new homophobic plot twist -- involving a closeted, bisexual, HIV-positive black man and his ostensibly emasculating wife -- also works against the open and inclusive spirit of Shange's brand of black feminism.) But in the end, the durability of Shange's play has as much to do with the genius of her prose as it does with the stubbornness of racism and sexism to shape the material conditions of black women's lives. To his credit, Perry used 85 percent of Shange's original poetry in his final script. So even cloaked in his melodramatic conservatism, the potency of her words can't be fully lost. As hip-hop feminist Joan Morgan, author of When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost, says, "Shange's play will never become dated. Similar to any other great work, the themes of love, friendship, heartbreak, sexism and the negotiation of desire are timeless for black women. Shange, like Shakespeare, doesn't go out of style for a reason."

Dear Tom:
My Christmas wish is for my daughter, Alanna who is five years-old and has autism. She has been sleeping on an airbed for almost a year and has never had a real bed of her own. As a baby, she went from her crib into sharing a twin sized bed with her older sister. This worked well for a while; however, as Alanna's sleep patterns became more erratic due to her autism she was constantly waking her sister. Our "temporary" solution was to move her into her youngest brother's room, but I'm afraid that's not working either.
Tom, the only way to get Alanna to calm down and fall asleep is for me to lie down next to her. She often wakes up in the middle of the night and can't return to sleep without my help. We urgently need to get her a bed of her own. However, I have been unemployed for more than a year, due to a job layoff and my husband is a full-time student and resident Chaplin with a minimal stipend and we can't afford it. Right now, making ends meet every month is a true faith walk.

They've brought specialty medical care to the islands for over 30 years, and have run the Diabetes Wellness Center on Majuro since 2006. Now, Canvasback is working to reverse the epidemic of diabetes in the Marshall Islands by preventing the onset of the disease before it begins.
Made possible by a generous grant from the World Diabetes Foundation, Canvasback is working with Antonia Demas, Ph.D., and Marshall Islands health officials to bring health education into the classroom. Dr. Demas has visited the Marshall Islands twice so far, traveling last with Canvasback co-founder Jacque Spence and employee Jaylene Chung to implement trials of the new food education curriculum in the public schools on Majuro and Ebeye in October. The team trained instructors how to teach from the curriculum, which involves special hands-on activities to engage children and make food education fun.
Dr. Antonia Demas studied education, nutrition, and anthropology at Cornell University. She has developed food-based curricula for schools for over 40 years, successfully implementing her "Food is Elementary" program in over 3,000 schools. Demas is also the founder and president of the New York-based Food Studies Institute, a not-for-profit created to improve children's health through food education.
One of Demas' key beliefs is that the food we eat directly affects our health. Processed foods have replaced natural ones, and chemical preservatives are now a regular part of our diets. Demas believes that children are the ideal group to teach food literacy to: they don't have established diets that are difficult to change; they are open to new ideas, especially if taught using sensory (taste, touch, and visual) methods; and healthy habits now would prevent illnesses later.
Canvasback is proud to work with Demas, because both know that food education is essential to reverse diabetes in the Marshall Islands. It is cost-efficient, slipping into the existing educational system, yet its effects will last for a lifetime. And once established, local schools and teachers will be in full control of the program. The most difficult part of the program won't be getting kids interested in healthy eating–it will be waiting years to see how well it pays off.

"Try this – it worked last time.""Marvin had a similar problem. How did he fix it?""Just smack it!"
How often do we take a trial and error approach to fixing problems? It's good to draw on our expertise and past experience, but every attempted fix costs time and money. So, we can't afford to just wing it.
In these situations, a rational, step-by-step process provides great assistance. Throughout my career I've used a problem management process individually or with a group to address situations large and small. I've also taught this process several times to various management teams.
On Wednesday, June 19, I'm offering a Group Problem Solving workshop at ONEplace. This 90-minute session explores how to fully describe a problem, identify possible causes, evaluate those causes and confirm the true cause. The process helps us gather solid data and avoid common pitfalls.
While not panacea's, processes like these are helpful management tools and set a thoughtful, logical tone to addressing challenges of all sorts.
