We have the first two Camaros confirmed for World Challenge. Riley chassis #002 & #003. One car will be grey and orange, they other flat black with Kicker yellow.
that what i thought you was reading .....
check your pm's
well ? do i stick around seabring for the 12 hour race after the vscda stuff?
Blog is up, but I know how fickle we can all be, so here's the rundown on ADV.
Motors are off to the engine builder. Certian people know how to extract just the last little bit of power without bending the rulebook tooooo hard.
Chassis #002 (05 car) is out of paint with a fresh interior squirting. Time to start re-assembly
Starting to install the brains of the car, the power/electronics panel. What you are looking at is a Bosch 4.3 ECU and our Motec Power Distribution Module. This fully programmable solid state power unit eliminated ALL relays/fuses from the car. Talk about reliable…
Here's me fabbing new Polycarbonate windows.
GM was kind enough to send us the Solidworks file for the front of the car, using that and Jordon's massive brain we've designed and ordered our new bolt-on CarbonFiber Splitter.
You'll also see some fun shit on my Facebook page, cuz that's where I like to brag about how cool I am.
Beat up on Rehagen for me!
and again:
uh, can you tell I've been putting in a few hrs?
Five of us put in 16 hours yesterday and are back at 8:00 this morning. Splitters are fitted, wing supports mounted, cars stickered, third gps tracker installed, RaceKeeper (mandatory) video system wired, cars have been on the dyno, and lots of other misc odds and ends taken care of.
Still have to finalize splitter and wing adjusters, swap the seat in the 06, check; double-check; and re-check everything, clean-up, load trailer, install some new tiedowns in the trailer,....
Oh, and the new tires mean new setup, which means dropping the ride height, which means we were already pretty close to the bottom of our shock travel as is.
So, LOTS of tuning tomorrow and Sunday during testing, and lots more thurs-sat in Florida.
Ugh. Dats racin
so where is my plane ticket?
Or do you expect me to ride down?
Testing went well. A couple shock changes, and some wing tuning, but mainly just cranking out laps. Cars have about 5 hrs of track time now and all is well.
Jon and I pull out at noon today. Next update will be from Florida
checking in from st. Pete.
05 found a wall in the first session. Missed second session for repairs.
06 went well, (my car) rolled outta qualifying in P3. Breezed through tech, and sittin pretty for the 11 am start. Way to wheel Alec Udell. Not bad for a 15yo.
WC pitted us next to Pratt&Miller with their brand new CTS-V.R's. We all have a severe case of penis envy. EVERYTHING is spotless and perfect and brand new. But we've made friends.
So far so good. We've made a lot of fans and turned a few heads with the first effort in WC. More tomorrow
05 finished 10th smooth and steady
06 the line lock stuck on, wound up back with the TC class and was haulin ass back up thru the field when about lap 10 a VW tc car decided to pick a fight with our 450hp Camaro, that's in GTS. Weak.
Alec was up with a couple Mustangs and dispatched the pair handily. However, setting himself up to pass a couple TC cars ( and just having set the fifth fastest lap of the race) he barely clipped a wall thru the chicane, a half a lap later the LF strut failed and sent the car into a spin and into the opposing wall with the left front corner.
Took our time as race 2 is not until 5pm, and got it patched back together. Rf shock, two wheels, bumper, little tweaking to the lf frame horn, bar, lf tie rods, headlight, splitter, and left fender mainly. I went to Alec in the paddock and waited for a tow back to the truck that never came. Weak. Good crowd tho, and we made a lot of fans. Being pitted next to Pratt & Miller has its advantages for crowd exposure.
Back at the hotel, sittin at the pool, needin a beer. More tomorrow.
Www.world-challenge.com there's a link for the live stream, and will be shown on VERSUS channel next weekend I'm told.

Preparing seedlings for wildlife
Shortly after noon on the last day of February, the thermometer on my porch read 62 degrees. It s no wonder I've been thinking...
Bird count might explain lack of blue jays, juncos
With more than a month until April arrives, it may be premature to proclaim the end of winter. But since it never arrived, why...
Ecuador trip gives fodder for 'It's a Small World' file
The second day of my trip to Ecuador found me at Mindo Loma, about two hours northwest of Quito. I was the only person there, so I was treated well. And dozens of hummingbirds constantly darted among the many nectar feeders.
Sharks eating land birds in Gulf of Mexico
Reproduction and feather molt are two of the most energetically demanding aspects of birds' lives. The breeding season can last five months or longer, and feather molt can take six to 10 weeks. Just finding enough food to stay alive during these stressful times can be a full time job.
Border strategies affect wildlife populations
Under the heading of "unintended consequences," border fences are proving to be very effective at disrupting the movements of wildlife.
It pays to watch the behavior of woodland animals
The two hours after dawn and the two hours before dusk offer wildlife watchers and hunters excellent viewing opportunities. I like to sit quietly...
Yes, you could say Christmas is 'for the birds'
Every December I get requests to reprint my version of 'Twas the Night before Christmas I first published in 1988. Merry Christmas everyone!
Suet lovers include woodpeckers, chickadees
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, a pileated woodpecker made my day. For the first time in more than 20 years, I saw one of these crow-sized hammerheads at my suet feeder. It returned several times over a 30-minute span.
New book suggestions for holiday gift-giving
Fall is a busy season for publishers of nature and outdoor-themed books. They make perfect Christmas gifts. Here are some recent titles I recommend...
Successful birding through winter
A few weeks ago the temperature dropped below 30 degrees, and the first winter feeder birds, white-throated sparrows and dark-eyed juncos, showed up.

List Grid
That Escalated Quickly by Harapan Ong$7.95
Harapan Ong is an acclaimed creator of magic and an expert card technician. His inventions have been distributed widely amongst the community and have inspired countless magicians all over the world.
We are honored to present That Escalated Quickly, a brand new effect from Harapan that begins with a very simple procedure of perplexing, yet logical results. Quickly, however, the stakes are escalated to an unaccountable display that'll leave your spectators scratching their heads for days.
The Paint Can by Juan Tamariz$7.95Jaun Tamariz brings us The Paint Can. What begins as a spirited examination of a playing card ends in three rapid yet fair color changes that will leave your audience guessing for days to come.
The Prace Rise by Jeff Prace$7.95Jeff Prace brings us The Prace Rise. A selected card genuinely rises from the center of the pack, but what's even more astounding - it's entirely gimickless. If you're looking for a rising card plot to perform and keep, look no further. Jeff Prace has permanently changed the rising card for the better.
The Cloak by Daniel Prado$11.95
You won't believe your eyes. This new method for the classic tent vanish gives you the power to vanish a card in thin air.
From the mind that brought you the Peregrine Pass, Daniel Prado has devised an amazing new way of vanishing a card. Both practical and versatile, The Cloak offers endless applications for use.
Ultimate Hold 'Em by Jack Carpenter$19.95Sit down with Jack Carpenter as he deals you in on the secret to a truly incredible gambling routine. The player shuffles, cuts, makes every decision along the way, and without fail, beats the odds for the Ultimate Hold'Em Demonstration. An essentially self-working gambling demonstration, Ultimate Hold'Em provides ample opportunity to end your set with a presentational blockbuster. Never before has such an astounding gambling routine been published, fooling even the most respected card men. Learn in detail with this short 32 page soft-bound booklet written by Stephen Hobbs.
Bad Luck by Juan Tamariz$7.95
Juan Tamariz brings us another phenomenal effect. The spectator chooses four cards from a shuffled deck - red are good luck and black are bad. Card after card is turned over and revealed to be black, to the shared chagrin of the magician and the spectator. As the trick culminates, the magician visually changes all the black cards to red, bringing good luck to everyone.
Bad Luck is an excellent example of the importance of presentation and routining. The possibilities for presentation are incredibly diverse, and the potential for intimate audience interaction makes this trick an amazing treat.
Tweezers by Juan Tamariz$7.95Tweezers, a dual phased two-card-monte routine from Juan Tamariz, is undoubtedly one of the best monte routines you can perform. The routine is designed for absolute fairness — the magician removes two black tens to act as "tweezers," while a spectator freely selects an Ace and court-card of contrasting color. What happens next is a slow-paced swindle that belongs in every performer's repertoire. The relaxed manner and presentational style of Tamariz is what makes this piece so special. Tweezers offers a rare opportunity to sit down with arguably the greatest living magician and improve your magic ten-fold.
Three of Clubs by Juan Tamariz$7.95After years of waiting, Juan Tamariz, one of the greatest minds in magic, is finally prepared to share more treasures from his inner secrets. Although known for his stack, Mnemonica, Three of Clubs offers new insight into a principle that first appeared on the world's stage more than one-hundred years ago. What begins as a benign card trick climaxes with a change that will fool the seasoned veteran. Today, we are pleased to offer a rare session with El Maestro. If you wish to change your magic for the better, then look no further - Three of Clubs is the addition you need.
Swivel by Simon Black$11.95From up and coming magician Simon Black comes a resurrection of one of our favorite sleight of hand techniques. Swivel, the product of Simon's tireless study of the original move, expands and refines Earnest Earick's Longitudinal Swivel Steal, first published in By Forces Unseen. Today, with the aid of Swivel, you'll enjoy Simon's thinking behind the Longitudinal Swivel Steal and a variety of applications we're sure will keep you busy for hours. Whether it's a triple-change, control, or incredible production, Swivel is only limited by your imagination. If you're ready to expand your knowledge of the classics, look no further. Swivel offers a modernist approach to one of our all-time favorites.
Pre-pre-figueration by Bill Goodwin$7.95In this astonishing effect, any four of a kind is found by the spectator from a shuffled deck. This amazing piece of magic has the spectator seemingly accomplish all of the work, but the cards are completely under your control. Originally published by Goodwin in Notes from the Batcave in 1993, this fascinating take on Jennings' Prefiguration is sure to leave your audiences baffled.
Turning Point by Bill Goodwin$2.95This surprising feat of dexterity demonstrates not only the performer's ability to manipulate the cards, but the cards' affinity for taking part in the mischief. This quick trick is accomplished with difficult sleight of hand, but once mastered, it will become one of your go-to effects for the inquisitive layperson.
Cannibal Cards by Bill Goodwin$7.95Originally published in Lecture 1988, Bill Goodwin brings us another amazing version of the nearly 50 year old classic, demonstrating how the four Kings in every pack of playing cards are indeed Cannibal Cards. One by one, three odd cards are eaten by the Kings during a fair display, leaving only the four Cannibal Kings. This streamlined version of Cannibal Cards leaves you clean and ready for your next trick.
Wenderz Flip by Bill Goodwin$4.95This quick, impromptu trick has the four aces turning face up in a surprising and incredibly visual manner. Each ace revolves in the blink of an eye, with the added bonus that the cards are handled by the spectators throughout. The timing and technique are expertly choreographed, so enjoy this modern refinement of Vernon's Twisting the Aces.
Shake Change & Ambition by Bill Goodwin$4.95This surprisingly simple change has many applications, one of which is featured here in Ambition. A selected card visually jumps from the bottom of the deck to the middle, with just a blow. Again, the selected card transports itself from the middle to the top. Bill Goodwin explains the mechanics and timing excellently, and we're sure you'll be adding this to your Ambitious Card Routine in no time.
Sailboat by Idan Kaufman$4.95Grab a deck and drop anchor with Idan Kaufman's Sailboat - a brand new knuckle-busting color change from the mind of Israel's up and coming magician. Imagine producing a single playing card, only to have it change in a flash, once, or again and again. A truly impressive move for the seasoned card man, or the ambitious novice, this change isn't for the faint of heart, but believe us, the practice will be worth it.
Invisible Speller by Dani DaOrtiz$11.95Three spectators shuffle a deck of cards, and one is asked to think of any card possible. After the selection is made, a spectator spells the name of their thought-of-card from the deck on the table. Incredibly, the final card of the spelling sequence is their mental selection. A personal favorite of DaOrtiz, you'll enjoy detailed explanation of not only the effect itself, but the psychological subtitles involved in both the trick and selection process. Today Dani DaOrtiz shares with us another minor miracle guaranteed to astound both magicians and spectators alike.
Maguro Mega Pack by Michael Stern$6.95Have you ever thought, "I love the Diagonal Palm Shift but have no idea how to make tuna sushi"? Have you ever practiced card technique for so long you craved traditional Japanese cuisine? Look no further—Michael Stern's Maguro Mega Pack is just what you've been looking for. Featuring brand new applications for the diagonal palm shift (including a DPS to the top and a DPS from a spring), Maguro Mega Pack is the perfect addition to the arsenal of any move monkey. Also on the same bill you'll enjoy several tricks that incorporate the moves taught—and a 10 minute instructional video on how to prepare Maguro—easily worth the price of admission alone.
Concerto by Dani DaOrtiz$11.95From one of Magic's foremost minds, comes a multilayered effect -- combining both the plots of a Torn & Restored Card and ACCAN - that will leave any audience baffled. A card is selected and signed by an audience member, after being torn into quarters a spectator is invited to hold a torn corner as a "receipt" of the card. In a flash, the scraps of card vanish. A number is then freely named and when dealt to that position, the signed, selected card is found perfectly intact, save for a missing corner. When compared to the audience member's piece—a perfect match is discovered. A miracle!
The Card and Hat by S.W. Erdnase$2.95One of our favorite effects from The Expert at the Card Table beautifully performed and explained by Elliott Terral.
The Card and Handkerchief by S.W. Erdnase$5.95Travel back with us 113 years as we foray deeper into the mind of S.W. Erdnase. With Elliott Terral as our guide, we'll examine the classic Card Through Handkerchief effect in which a selected playing card separates itself from the pack, seemingly penetrating solid cloth. In addition, a brand new alternative handling is taught that utilizes a myriad of sleights found within The Expert at The Card Table.
Triple Cask Triumph by Elliott Terral$7.95Triple Cask Triumph is a simple, direct, in-the-hands variation of Dai Vernon's famous Triumph. This version contains no traditional sleight of hand, and it should serve as an excellent guide to structuring magical effects with the audience in mind.
Diagonal Palm Shift by Ricky Smith$9.95First published in 1902 by S.W. Erdnase, the Diagonal Palm Shift - a secret maneuver for bottom palming a selected card placed into the middle of the deck - is explained in detail by one of this generations most beloved sleight of hand artists, Ricky Smith. In addition to the video tutorial we've included a copy of the original write-up which we suggest reading first. It's only three pages so won't take long. The video itself is nearly an hour and features an extremely detailed explanation from multiple angles along with guidance towards finding a plethora of variations and tricks from magicians such as John Carney, Dai Vernon, Bill Kalush, Paul Chosse and David Ben to name a few.
Killers by Paul Wilson$29.95Perform relaxed miracles with R. Paul Wilson's compendium of fantastic self-working and semi-automatic card effects. The routines within Killers* have been carefully developed over three decades- designed to completely baffle and entertain both laymen and magicians, with no difficult sleight of hand necessary. Whether it be conjuring a thought of card, dealing any four-of-a-kind called for, or performing Sympathetic Aces without gaffs, Killers provides a series of in-depth one-to-one lessons revealing every detail, and the choreography to inspire the strongest reactions possible. Killers is a course in powerhouse card magic- a personal tuition on turning simple processes into unforgettable magic.
Card Men by Dan and Dave
Starting at: $19.95This new compendium reveals a selection of material we've been tinkering with the last few years, such as a bewildering color change, a distinct production of a card, and an automated method for topping the deck, to name a few. With 24 items, including guest contributions by Ricky Smith, Elliott Terral and R. Paul Wilson, Card Men is a publication we're very proud of. We think you'll find the contents of Card Men interesting and useful; and we hope that you are inspired by them to create something of your own.
Vernon One-Hand Table Shuffle by Dan and Dave$4.95A tribute to Dai Vernon's wonderful One-Handed Table Shuffle, done perfectly. We originally learned this technique from Vernon's book, Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic (1967); however it wasn't until we saw a video of Ross Bertram performing the shuffle perfectly that we began to take interest. What you see before you is our own handling created to achieve the perfect one-for-one riffle along with various subtleties acquired from years of practice.
Steve Reynolds EP by Steve Reynolds$11.95Steve Reynolds is one of magic's underground sensations. A technician of the finest caliber, Steve's magic is powerful, deceptive, and relatively simple to perform. Steve prefers to harness psychology and choreography, allowing for a more direct approach in his card magic. The techniques you learn from Steve have been tested countless times in restaurants, bars, trade shows, and late night sessions. He's truly a "trench worker", and you can be sure that these sleights will be worthy of the practice necessary to master them.
Mnemonica Miracles by Juan Tamariz
Starting at: $99.95A priceless record of Juan's personal approach to this incredibly powerful principle in magic. Join Juan Tamariz at the table in this personal lesson of over twenty routines complete with essential tips and valuable advice. Juan also includes a volume filled with essential tools for the mem-deck performer. This 5 DVD Box Set represents a treasure trove of secret information. If you have ever wanted to master this principle, it's easily worth its weight in gold. Ingenious card tricks. Unforgettable miracles.
Click 2.0 by Valdemar Gestur$4.95Click 2.0 is an updated, simplified handing, of Valdemar's visual color change performed with a rubber band and a deck of cards. The effect, similar to the original Click Change, differs in a way that you no longer have to "snap the band down onto the card" to make the change. Click 2.0 is done entirely with one hand, providing an even more impossible condition. Because of this, Valdemar was able to reengineer the secret-wrap to be less suspecting. Although prior knowledge of the original Click Change is not necessary to perform this new handling we do encourage learning both methods.
Shooting Star Control by Jeff Prace$5.95In this casual control to the top, a card is merely tossed into the deck, in which it is then seen protruding half-way out. The magician then cleanly pushes the card flush with the deck. Without any further moves, the card is on top. Although a bit knacky, it's a fantastic illusion that is imperceptible in the close-up environment.
Triumph and Triumph Again by Asi Wind$11.95From the mind that brought you A.A.C.A.A.N and Double Exposure comes the next evolution in a classic of magic. Asi Wind, one of the greatest modern conjurors, shares with us Triumph and Triumph Again, a brilliant addendum to John Bannon's Play it Straight Triumph. Triumph and Triumph Again enters the magic community offering a fresh approach to the original effect, while also providing a baffling finale.
Gödel by Alexander Hansford$11.95
Magicians have strived for decades to find a color change that's executed completely open and immune to every angle. Today, that pipe-dream becomes reality.
Gödel is an innovative face-up color change from the mind of Alexander Hansford. With a wave of the hands, cards transform under direct scrutiny. Not only will you receive two additional routines with your purchase, Twisting and Sandwich, you'll find Gödel to be an incredible utility for the effects you already perform.
A.A.C.A.A.N by Asi Wind$19.95Constructed from years of trial and error, Asi's Any Card at Any Number is a masterpiece of modern-day magic. "You fooled me badly. This is by far the best A.C.A.A.N I have seen." - Johnny Thompson From one spectator, any card is named. From a different spectator, a number one through fifty-two is named. With absolutely nothing to suspect, the named card appears at exactly the number named. A probability so impressive only magic can explain it. This is Any Card at Any Number, for real.
Peregrine Pass by Daniel Prado$7.95It's not often we stumble upon a secret technique that looks authentic to the natural action taking place, in this case - closing a spread of cards. With the Peregrine Pass, what happens "behind the scenes" when compared to the polished performance is night and day. This is sleight of hand at its finest! Learn how it's done in this in-depth tutorial by professional magician, Daniel Prado.
Slipshift by Chris Ramsay$5.95Fascinated by magic since childhood, Chris Ramsay has devoted a fair amount of time into both the study and practice however it was only recently, with his discovery of Cardistry, that his creativity began to flourish (literally). The Slipshift is a visual color change done at the fingertips. Within this video Chris explains several variations of the change along with a method to control a selected card to the top of the deck.
Lost & Found by Jared Kopf$11.95In this diabolical routine, Jared Kopf performs two classic effects utilizing the four Aces, combining impossible and startling magic that is fair, direct and interactive. Opening with Merlin's 'Lost' Ace Trick, Jared demonstrates an exceptionally fair assembly of the Aces that gives your spectators the freedom to choose which Aces vanish and where they will reappear. Following is Far Flung Collectors, where the Aces are dealt face-up, one at a time into a spectators hand before three free selections later appear sandwiched face-down between them.
Director's Cut by Henok Negash$7.95A demonstration of gambling with an unexpected ending where the spectator unknowingly performs expert card control to magically produce four of a kind. The magician explains that he will show you how to cheat at cards by finding any four of a kind with magic. As an example, the Aces are introduced and used to demonstrate an "invisible palm", in which they seem to vanish one at a time and reappear on command. From there, the spectator takes over and finds his own four of a kind.

This post looks at the conflict in Togoland during the First World War, and is the first in a series of blogs that will look at different aspects of the war in Africa. The first British shots of the First World War were fired in West Africa and the last German troops surrendered after armistice in East Africa; the First World War effectively started and finished in Africa.
The war in Africa is often overlooked, and was fought very differently to the war in Europe. With a lack of transport and infrastructure, troops and supplies had to be moved on foot by porters; most of the interior of Africa had not been mapped in detail, so troops were marching into the unknown; and whereas the front in France may have moved a few feet a year, in Africa troops covered hundreds of miles a month to engage with the enemy. The fighting mainly took place within Germany's colonial holdings, with the Union of South Africa fighting under the British flag in German South West Africa, and the British and French fighting in Togoland, the Cameroons and then finally in German East Africa.
Togoland would be the first Entente victory of the war. It was conquered in around three weeks. On 5 August 1914, the Committee of Imperial Defence recommended that troops from the Gold Coast and Sierra Leone should be used for offensive purposes against Togoland (CAB 45/110). Their aim was to destroy the important wireless station at Kamina, which linked Berlin to its African colonies, to shipping in the South Atlantic, and with South America. 1 Continue reading »

The Interfaith Amigos
The Interfaith Amigos
Known for their unique blend of spiritual wisdom and humor, Imam Jamal Rahman, Pastor Don Mackenzie and Rabbi Ted Falcon openly address the usual taboos of interfaith dialogue — the "awkward" parts of each tradition — in order to create a more authentic conversation.
In their presentations, the Interfaith Amigos share why interfaith dialogue is so critically important in our world, and how each of their Abrahamic traditions both support as well as inhibit that deeper dialogue.
The Interfaith Amigos present a crucial message in their unique humorous style, helping participants appreciate the promise and the problems of the interfaith experience.

"In the end, a nice week ended on a strong note," opined
Schaeffer's Senior Technical Strategist Ryan Detrick, CMT. "The
two-week losing streak is a thing of the past, as the
S&P 500 Index (SPX)
gained more than 2% on the week. In fact, the SPX and the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
both closed at new all-time highs. Then, under the surface,
small-caps had a huge day, and the Russell 2000 Index (RUT)
finished at a record peak, as well. All in all, with the Fed out of
the way, seasonality could take over, and more strength to end this
very bullish year could be in the cards."

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 16,221.14)
trekked higher right out of the gate, and touched an all-time
intraday peak of 16,287.84 during the afternoon hours of trading.
By the end of the session, the Dow was up 42.1 points, or 0.3% --
notching yet another record closing high. For the week, the index
climbed 3%. The blue-chip barometer's 18 advancers were led by
Caterpillar Inc.'s (

) paced the 12 laggards with a drop of 1.5%.
S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,818.31)
also spent the day in positive territory, tagging a record intraday
peak of 1,823.75 around 2:30 p.m. ET. By the time the dust settled,
the index was 8.7 points, or 0.5%, higher -- marking an all-time
closing high. Meanwhile, the
Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 4,104.74)
reached a 13-year intraday peak of 4,111.93, and advanced 46.6
points, or 1.2%, on the day. On a weekly basis, the SPX and COMP
added 2.4% and 2.6%, respectively.
Elsewhere, the

stayed south of breakeven for the entire day, and closed 0.4 point,

A Trader's Take
"We had another day of upbeat economic data," Detrick noted.
"This time it was the third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP)
report. Remember when strong data was viewed bearishly? Now that
the Fed has officially decided to start tapering, maybe we can get
to a more normal world, where good data is actually

is on stronger footing than most give it credit for, and the market
looked great. Now the economic data is starting to justify that

I have used carabiners to carry keys on my belt loop for a good 15 years. Any other place you would spend the same amount or more for 1 clip, not 12. They seem to be a bit better quality than other carabiners i have purchased elsewhere. They will last me at least a year if not longer of clipping and unclipping multiple times a day. I only use the big ones for my keys, but the small ones are great to use for backpacking...clip one of those suckers on your water bottle and you dont have to use storage in your pack.The uses for these thing are endless. Just DONT climb with them...but dont worry, if you are temped to, the clip will remind you when you see it stamped in the side as you wrap your ropes around it and get ready to rappel down Everest. Seriously though, I wouldnt climb with them.

Light weight use only, good for key chains, and not for securing important things.

I am using these for a variety of applications.

His father has been identified as 45-year-old Michael Seamon, a resident of rural Franklin County just west of St. Louis. Adam Seamon is being held on $500,000 cash only bond. Police said they are aware of past problems between Adam Seamon and his father.

In December 2009, under the leadership of Paul Zinsli (Switzerland) ESFRI approved a report from a Siting Issues Working Group on "How to identify, to compare and to choose the best sites for pan-European research infrastructures in proposing the relevant criteria and optimized procedures" ( 410 KB) .
At its December 2007 meeting, ESFRI decided to form a Group dealing with the question of Site Characterisation of Research Infrastructures under the Chairmanship of John Wood. At the June 2008 meeting, the Terms of Reference for the specific ESFRI Working Group on "How to identify and compare the best sites for pan-European Research Infrastructures" were approved.
In September 2008 Paul Zinsli took over the role as Chair to review the tasks foreseen for the Site Issues Group in collaboration with his predecessor John Wood.
1. What is the Problem?
Siting issues mainly come up when large infrastructures are to be constructed at a new site or when central nodes of a distributed network have to be set up. If there is no site offered, the issue mainly is finding or attracting a country or region willing and able to offer a site. If there are several competing sites the issue is finding the optimal site considering scientific, financial, political, environmental, etc., aspects
In the ESFRI 2008 Report, 44 Research Infrastructures are listed for some of which the siting issue could be relevant. Support by ESFRI would be most valuable if there are competing sites.
2. How can a SIG make a significant contribution?
The ESFRI/SIG should support the implementation of the ESFRI Projects in a significant way if the proposers (owners) ask for it. The siting issues are very different for the different kinds of infrastructure (central, decentralised) and has to take into account the specific context of the concrete project. Extensive general considerations therefore seem not appropriate. The SIG should therefore concentrate on a short methodology for the two different cases mentioned above as well as for central and decentralised sites (possibly then to be listed in a Checklist/Handbook). This methodology could then be used by the site proposers themselves or by ESFRI if the project owners (proposer) wish so.
A SIG should moreover be helpful in bringing on track the implementation of projects on the ESFRI list by supporting independent evaluations, bringing competing site proposers together and supporting the political decision process if the prospective partners so wish.
3. Objectives of the Working Group on Site Characterisation / Site Issues Group (SIG)

Human sized Pipe on tap for day 2 of Pipe Pro
Updated: January 30, 2012, 9:57 AM ETBy Ross Williams
Day 1 Day 2
If you were patient enough there was a really good tube ride to be found. That was the order of the day at the Volcom Pipe Pro when surfers woke up Sunday morning to four to six feet of windy, wonky treasures. After the size, chaos and carnage of Sunday, the second day of the contest saw the conditions a lot more tame, but nonetheless, there was still plenty of dodging, ducking and diving to maneuver in and out of the barrel. A strong 15 to 25 mph trade wind ...

Mayoral candidate says he has the experience to take on city's establishment
As he runs for mayor, Filner has repeatedly said he isn't beholden to special-interest groups and will stand up to the downtown establishment, which he specifically said includes developers such as U-T San Diego Publisher Douglas Manchester.
Special interests, however, come in many different forms and Filner can't accurately claim he hasn't benefitted politically from such support.
According to opensecrets.org, which tracks how money influences Congress, 15 of Filner's top 20 campaign contributors over the past two decades have been labor unions. During that period, he collected more than $9.1 million in total contributions. About 46 percent of that total came from political-action committees, the main financial vehicle used by special-interest groups to influence elections, including about $2 million from labor.
Filner has joined labor as an outspoken opponent of Proposition B, an initiative on the June ballot that would replace pensions with 401(k)-style plans for most new city hires. The other three major candidates for mayor — City Councilman Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher — support the ballot measure.
"Most of my money is from labor. I consider them working people," Filner said. "DeMaio defines that as special interest. I define it as working people. I'm unabashedly for the working person. … You will find very little contributions from the 1 percent."
During the campaign, Filner's record in Congress has been criticized by his opponents who point out that he's only had six pieces of legislation signed into law over two decades.
"He has six bills in 20 years and one is to name a post office," Dumanis said. "I'd say as mayor you're going to have to do six things before breakfast."
Filner said he played a role in countless pieces of legislation through the years, but the process in Washington is one where oftentimes official credit goes to representatives facing tough re-election bids. For example, as chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, he said he wrote parts of a new G.I. bill that vastly increased the amount of money available for this generation of military veterans to go to college but authorship credit went to a senator.
His active role on veterans issues, which comprise four of his six bills, is often what Filner receives praise for, even from Republicans.
John Dadian, a Republican political consultant and Marine veteran, said he doesn't often see eye to eye with Filner politically but applauds his advocacy of veterans, including the G.I. bill and recognition for Filipinos who served the U.S. in World War II.
"I respect what he did as chairman of Veterans Affairs and he came through for San Diego," he said.
Fletcher, also a former Marine, credits Filner for being a supporter of veterans but doesn't think that will translate to City Hall.
"He's one of the most partisan members of Congress," he said. "I think Bob's brought an approach that is more of an activist's approach. … I don't know that that approach is best suited to be mayor."
Filner has also courted controversy during his career.
In August 2007, he was involved in an altercation with a baggage worker at Washington Dulles International Airport. She accused him of assault and battery after he tried to go into an employees-only area to inquire about his missing bags. He said he never touched her but pleaded no contest to trespassing, paid a $100 fine and issued her a written apology.
Filner also has been criticized for using campaign donations to pay his now ex-wife more than $500,000 over 10 years for raising campaign money on his behalf. He say he doesn't regret hiring her because she did a great job.
One of Filner's campaign themes is that his anti-establishment image gives him the outsider's perspective to go with his insider's knowledge of how governments operate. He points to the party split in San Diego (40 percent Democrat, 28 percent Republican) and sees a path to victory.
If he does win, Filner would become only the second Democratic mayor in San Diego in more than 40 years.

From the cemetery they will move to the school commons across the street to continue the program.
The honored families this year are: Peter L. Miller presented by Grandson Gerald Pallesen, The Schmillen and Holck Families presented by Grandson/Grandnephew Ron Schmillen, Harry E. Neir presented by Granddaughter-in-law Ervina Scott, James and Catherine Mulvany presented by Grandson Don Kerr, Thomas and Bridget Delaney presented by Great Granddaughter Jean (Delaney) Nilles, Patrick and Fannie Brady presented by Grandson Dennis Brady.
We also will present information on gravestone symbolism.
The Cemetery Walk was started in 1999 by Nancy Heir, Margaret Dorr and Lulu Grauer.
The Marcus Historical Society took over this event in 2008. The walk is a look at our past through the eyes of descendants of our early Marcus area residents.
They like to honor families that were in the Marcus area approximately 100 years ago or more.
Plan to attend, it is an interesting evening.

TULSA, Okla. - For the second-time in three years, Utah State senior men's tennis player Sven Poslusny competed in the prestigious Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Men's All-American Pre-Qualifying Championship in Tulsa at Case Tennis Center.
In the opening round Saturday, Poslusny fought hard but fell in straight sets to Eastern Washington's Joseph Cohen (7-6 {7}, 6-2). The senior will still be in action on Sunday, Sept. 30 in the consolation draw.
This is the eighth-straight year that the University of Tulsa is the site of the ITA Men's All-American Championships. The tournament kicked off with pre-qualifying matches starting on Saturday, while the main draw is set to begin on Oct. 4. Some of the nation's best will be taking part in the tournament.
The Aggies senior is one of four Western Athletic Conference players to take part in the pre-qualifying Championship. Luis Fernando Ramirez, Marc Westgate and Daniel Fernandez from New Mexico State are also taking part. Denver's Enej Bonin has already earned a spot in the main draw.
The Aggies are next set to compete in at the Utah Intercollegiates in Salt Lake City on October 11-13.

Best-Practices Leadership
A leader in an organization can't do everyone's job. Instead of micromanaging, strong leaders use organizational leadership to coordinate, communicate, motivate and delegate among employees and team members. For comprehensive organizational effectiveness, each individual needs to be seen as a contributor, with the leader at the helm.
Most importantly, best-practices leadership involves keeping employees motivated throughout the process, adapting your scope or strategy as necessary, and developing an effective communication strategy.
Some people never make it to the other side because they're more successful at being doers. This is a crucial point in determining if you're going to move up the ranks.
Browse our articles, tools and advice on best-practices leadership.
In college, Ian Ballantine wrote a paper on the potential profitability of paperback books.

Skip to comments.(D-MT) Baucus nominated girlfriend for U.S. Attorney job (nothing to see here folks)
Posted on 12/05/2009 8:12:32 AM PST by markomalley
Max Baucus, chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, recommended that the White House nominate his girlfriend as a U.S. attorney in Montana, his office announced late Friday night.
Earlier this year, Baucus recommended that the White House consider Melodee Hanes and two other names for the U.S. attorney post at the same time that the senator was carrying on a romantic relationship with Hanes, who had been his state director. Baucus was separated with his wife at the time when the two began their involvement, according to a source familiar with the situation, and now the two are divorced from their spouses and live together on Capitol Hill.
Baucus office contends that Hanes was recommended because of her qualifications and that the relationship had nothing to do with her nomination to the position or their respective divorces from their spouses.
While her personal relationship with Senator Baucus should in no way be either a qualifier or a disqualifier for the position, during the nomination process and after much reflection, both Senator Baucus and Ms. Hanes agreed that she should withdraw her name from consideration because they wanted to live together in Washington, DC, Ty Matsdorf, Baucus spokesman, said in a statement.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
R-I-G-H-T. No wonder he pushed the healthcare scam—he wanted a big job for his girlie friend.
"Hanes was recommended because of her qualifications "
"Both of them." ;)
People don't dump information after 11:00 pm on a Friday night when it's good news. But, I won't hold my breath for Matt and Meredith to talk about this like they have Ensign or Sanford - where it's NOT in alleged in either of those two cases that Sanford or Ensign used their position of influence to financially benefit their whores.
Well, doesn't she look like the cat that ate the canary. He left wife #1 and wife #2—what makes her think she's so special? I guess after a certain point they figure the guy's too old to attract anyone younger so they have it made.
Shouldn't we make that judgement during the swimsuit competition?
MT needs a clean-up in the left aisle.
Be careful who you want to hang. Baucus was one of the two Montana Senators that turned around the DOD decision to stop the sale of surplus military brass into civilian hands when our "Conservative" Senators were sitting on their thumbs. Any friend of the second amendment is a friend of the constitution regardless if they are an immoral democrat or not, and we have precious little of them in Washington.
As long as the guy can pass out plum fed jobs, there is no such thing as too old.
Max Baucus, chairman of the (powerful Senate Finance Committee).No questions here.
these days showing some knee equals qualifications.
Just out of curiosity, I looked at CNN.com and MSNBC.com to see if they're covering the story - not a single word on CNN.com, but surprisingly, MSNBC.com has it on the front page, and in the politics section, FWIW.
Since he was banging the old broad while still married, when do we get to see his emails.
Oh, and will other women come forward? Paging the National Enquirer....
Baucus needs to go bye-bye.
Wake up Montana!
"Baucus office contends that Hanes was recommended because of her qualifications"
What qualifications are we talking about, scum?
If only this were another Tiger Woods gal. Then again, it's a democrat and all he did was break basic Human Resources guidelines and probably the law - quid pro quo and all that...
Baucus won re-election in 2008 by a 73-27 margin. It'll be 2014 before that POS has to stand again.
Guilty, with the 6th amendment brought up by the defense attorney.
When a Republican does this, he is expected to resign. When a dem does it, he gets pats on his back from the rest of his corrupt, cheating buddies and a pass to go forth with more of the same..
No, not all of them. There is probably more corruption among politicians than the general public, though. Just because when you mix money, power, and government, the corruption seems to rise to the surface.
Note to Montanans: What could have made you elect a guy who is this low on the morality scale and is attempting to bankrupt our country with his idiotic, insane version of "health care"? Please do not foist this loser on us again!

Comments about Remedy Roll-a-Lotion Applicator, 1 ea:
it worked wonderfully to reach my mid back. The first one I did not check if all the rollers were free to spin. Most did not. When that broke I used the roller from the second one. The rollers on that one rolled freely but also broke. It could involve the compound having an effect on the brittle plastic,making it even more likely to break easily.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dennis Graham and Dennis Graham.
Photos: @champagnepapi's Instagram/OctobersVeryOwn
Dennis Graham. Maybe you've heard of him? No? Well, let me refresh your memory: DAT 'STACHE. Still nothing? OK, well, Dennis Graham is the father of Aubrey Graham, AKA Drizzy Drake, and in
Movember November, he was the living, breathing definition of a Cool Dad with a guest role in his son's music video for "Worst Behavior." Now, not only has he been immortalized on the internet, but according to a recent photo Drake posted on Instagram, Dennis Graham has officially been immortalized in ink on his son's inner forearm.
Dat 'stache.
Photo: OctobersVeryOwn
Along with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, Drake is now a card-carrying member of the "celebrities with tattoos of their family" club. The tiny portrait, done by Dr. Woo of Los Angeles' Shamrock Social Club, depicts Dennis from the mock-turtleneck up, with a strong emphasis on that glorious, now-famous mustache. Judging by the shape and size of Daddy Graham's glasses (and the fullness of his hair) , we're guessing the pic Drake chose to model his ink after is vintage. Which was thoughtful, because if anyone ever decides to immortalize my face in ink, it better be from the time when I was looking my swaggiest. Granted, we would ALL be so lucky to look as stylish as Dennis today, but, I mean, you know what I'm sayin'. #wrinkles
