Greetings fellow Cyclone Fanatics!
Win a FREE ISU basketball shirt! More details below:
I have read Cyclone Fanatic for years and now have an opportunity to support the CF community while offering free stuff for you! I am proud to be an official supporter of Cyclone Fanatic. I am a native of Ames and an alumni of Iowa State University. My wife and I live in a small beach town south of Los Angeles where I have started my own Internet company that focuses on storytelling. Named Kagavi, my company focuses tales of adventure inspired by my Grandpa's campfire stories.
I will have a full roll out of Kagavi over the next few months, but I couldn't resist starting my soft opening now, in order to give you free ISU gear! To celebrate the great season (so far) of both ISU basketball teams, I created a limited edition of 50 ISU basketball shirts that celebrate the opening of Hilton Coliseum in 1971. The shirts are officially licensed by Iowa State University and made in America out of sustainable materials.
While I may "only" have one shirt for now, I wanted to start the soft opening of Kagavi now so people have an opportunity to follow us on our journey as we struggle through the growing pains of being a tiny startup operating out of a living room. Kagavi has two major ISU collections that will release in the second half of the year. One is focused on the history of ISU football, while another celebrates our beloved cagers. I am very pumped about what those collections will have and wish I could share them right now! We will also be releasing non-ISU related collections this spring and summer. Eventually our goal is to become a vertically integrated media company with a retail arm.
Our blog: Blog | Kagavi
The shirt: Hilton Coliseum Opening Day | Kagavi
Our size chart: Size Chart | Kagavi
Enough blabber. I will be giving away NINE FREE SHIRTS on Friday. I will post a new winner every hour starting at 10:00 AM CST and ending at 6:00 PM. To win a free shirt, you must:
Be a current member of CF. (To make it fair, no new accounts started today.)Post in this thread (talk about my website, post any bugs you may see, postulate on the origins of the Yeti, talk about anything--just post at least once).By posting, you will be entered into the contest. The drawing at 10:00 AM will randomly choose a name from all CF members that posted in this thread between now and 9:59 AM Friday. The drawing at 11:00 AM will include any new posts from 10:00 AM to 10:59 AM, etc.Each CF member limited to one entry.I will send the winners a PM with more details on how to claim their free shirt!
Since the shirt celebrates the opening of Hilton Coliseum, I will award a free shirt to the first person who can post a picture of the ticket stub from the first game in Hilton on December 2, 1971 against Arizona. (New CF members are allowed for this shirt.) Due to the limited scarcity of my shirts, I will give this free shirt offer an expiration date of Thursday, March 21 at 10:00 AM.

With the 88th Map of the Week we continue in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. This week we take a look at the exit area and Great Gate of the subterranean Dwarven Highwy extension.
Key to the exit area and the Great Gate (Highway Location No. 10)
This area isn't so much a mystery to the Northern Circle as it is a hurdle. The circle has followed the Óðinn's Fortress extension of the Dwarven Highway this far, but it's been unable to get beyond the gate in the eastern wall of this chamber. The eastern gate is massive oakwood, adorned with four glowing runic radicals, two other non-glowing symbols and an embedded axe with a head made of miðsilfur. The western entry from the tunnel has a similar oaken gate, but it has no runes, symbols or axe. The 40 x 40 foot/12 x 12 m chamber between the two gates is absolutely empty. What is beyond the eastern door with the runes is unknown to the Northern Circle or anyone else in this part of the world except the game master. He or she knows that the door with the runes and the axe opens onto the main branch of the Dwarven Highway that connect Midsilver Deep in the southeastern part of the jörð with the halls of Niðavellir in the north. This part of the highway is relatively young as far as dwarven construction is concerned. It was built by the dwarves who follow thane Thorin Eikinskjaldi in Midsilver Deep.
The key adventure element in this area is the Great Gate, as the Northern Circle calls it. This is the eastern gate with the axe, runes and symbols. The circle's high seers have determined that the axe and the four radicals build some type of powerful magic, one that they assume is deadly. Even the most powerful spellcasters in Óðinn's Fortress have been unable to neutralize this magic temporarily, as they have done with the other runic traps that the dwarves made. For that reason, the circle has not opened or even touched the gate. However, the game master needs to know what this dwarven magic does. What is present here was created by a trio of runecutters and a great smith. There is an element of this magic that the bare eye cannot see. Therefore, the Northern Circle is unaware of it. On the rear side of the axe's midsilver head, embedded into the oakwood of the gate's right door and in direct contact with the wood, is the runic stave Sameintöfrvernd. Very few dwarves ever have been able to cut and stain such a stave. In choosing Samein, the dwarves put it to a highly unusual if not unique use. Samein is the melding radical. It usually is employed to let two objects occupy the same space at the same time. However, in the stave that was cut and stained on the other side of the axe head, it is used to meld its own other two radicals with the four glowing radicals that are cut into the Great Gate.
The two, non-glowing symbols in the gate's left door are non-runic and insignificant. The top character is the dwarven symbol for midsilver, and the lower symbol stands for deep or the depths. Together they mean simply Midsilver Deep, identifying the clan that constructed the gate and this part of the Dwarven Highway. Such symbols are common among dwarven construction. One should mention that it is not difficult to open this runic gate. It has no lock. But the stave in the axe's head will trigger its magic if an intruder does not utter the correct password before opening the gate or touching the embedded axe. This complex combination of stave, external radicals and magical axe of midsilver will slay any creature that opens the gate or touches the axe without saying the password or without being within 20 feet/6 m of another person who utters the correct password. The password is dvergarvinur, which is Aldmál for dwarf friend. The deadly effects of the stave are absolute. There are no checks, saving throws or other possibilities to avoid death. Anyone who opens the gate or touches the axe without the password's protection will die immediately.
The floor plan of the exit chamber:
1. Dwarven Highway Extension.
2. Western gate. This gate is identical to the eastern gate except that there is no axe and there are no runic radicals or symbols.
3. The exit chamber. The ceiling is 20 feet/6 m high. The room is absolutely empty.
4. The Great Gate as already described.
You can get this scenario in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 versions in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (2.2 MB).
2. As JPG flat maps of 2500 Pixels x 2500 Pixels and 3000 x 2000 Pixels (total 3.8 MB), available with the hyperlink below.
Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð website at:

If it's a for desktop game I use the terrain editor from the game engine Unity3d. You take a screenshot from Google earth, take it into photoshop, make a greyscale image and paint the terrain features, save it as a raw image, import into unity as a heightmap and paint on the textures with a brush. Easy to scale from there as well by changing the width/height. This is an example tutorial http://vimeo.com/album/150503
If it's for a device with limited processing power I make low poly tileable meshes in blender or 3ds max, then slide them around to make the map I want.
This was my first map I made with Unity, it's just Ultima Online's map I took into photoshop, filled all the colors to solid greyscale (black for water, white for mountains, grey for middle terrain), imported it into the engine and painted on the textures, etc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_ycpbEPVY
This is my first heightmap from Ultima Online's map:
greyscale image I made in photoshop, white is the highest point, black is the lowest point.
And in the engine with a few textures, trees and buildings it becomes:

For the excitement, This team is about 10x ahead of what we looked last year at this time, and for obvious reasons. A machine is being built here and its awe inspiring to see the changes that have developed in certain areas. These guys arent going to be the tired souls in the 4th quarter, thats for damn sure. More muscle has be packed on, and good things are happening. Hopefully we can put it all together a little better this season. However i just wanted to give everyone a little excitement about what is happening with the conditioning of these fine men here on the Iowa State Football team. The freshman are doing well and some already have the "im going to steal your spot" mentality.
Hmmm, I believe that I like the sound of this.
Its not to give anyone a big head about our football team, im just letting everyone know that the system is falling into place very well, and we have some fine tuned, well disciplined guys on this team, thanks to Coach Chizik and staff
That is what I always love to hear. And it is kind of what I expected at the close of last season. After hearing reports of how things were going when he first got here. I could tell it would be just a matter of time until the staff gets these players fit into their mold.
You could see it starting to happen at the end of last season. So while others say they are concerned about the first couple games. I think if what we saw last year is any indication, that we won't be seeing a repeat of the results this year.
But I never like making predictions on what will happen atleast until and can see the product on the field.
I dont believe we will see any sort of struggle this year against SDSU, things are in place and its going to be so much easier for the guys and this staff to run a smooth well executed game.
I wouldn't get too overconfident about SDSU. This team has alot of new faces at critical positions and that takes time to come together.
I hate being a Debbie Downer, but it seems like we hear this stuff practically every year. Doesn't stop me from getting excited for the start of the season, though. Less than 7 weeks to go......
im not saying we are going to win 10 games or beat SDSU, im saying guys have gotten noteably faster, D linemen have added muscle, lost fat and added speed. Cameron Bell is a freak, Kelechi Osemele is going to be a OLine phenom for us. Im just telling you, there is cold hard evidence that there has been a tremendous improvement after summer conditioning, and a week and a half remain.
Just knowing the offense and defense has to be huge for the players, plus the building up you mentioned. We were a decent team at the end of the season. I see no reason we won't build on that this year. This will be fun!
I guess a few of you guys cant be confused for over confident Hawkeye fans.
You dont have to be jumping from the rooftops, but a little optimism isnt a bad thing.
Oh I'm optimistic. I wouldn't be putting the money I am into the program if I wasn't optimistic. I would call it reserved optimism though. Let's not get the cart ahead of the horse.
I heard from a football player that KO (haha when I typed this on my moto q the KO came up with text results KOBAYASHI) was a freak and is going to be a stud and that he is a freak on his lifting regimen. look for big results from him he said
Posted via Mobile Device
A friend of mine at work spoke to an Auburn grad/fan recently, and once he found out he was from Iowa, he raved about Chizik (unsolicited). He said Chizik totally revamped their Defense, and did the same at Texas. Players loved him too because they always knew where they stood with him. He wished Chizik was their head coach, and is now a fan of Iowa State too because of Gene. Nothing earth shattering, but it's always refreshing to hear a totally unbiased opinion of someone.

That's great to hear!!! August 28th is just around the corner!!!

Neue Helvetica® supports 97 different languages such as Arabic, Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Greek in Latin, Cyrillic, Other, Georgian, Thai, Greek, and Arabic scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
In 1983, D. Stempel AG redesigned the famous Helvetica typeface for the digital age, creating Neue Helvetica for Linotype: a self-contained font family. Today, this family consists of 51 different font weights. It's original numbering system for the weight designations came from Adrian Frutiger's numbering system for the Univers family. The basic font weight, "Neue Helvetica Roman", is at the heart of this numbering system. The designation "55 Roman" forms the central point. The first figure of the number describes the stroke thickness -- 25 for ultra light to 95 for extra black. The second figure gives information on the width and orientation of the font -- "Neue Helvetica 53 Extended" or "Neue Helvetica 57 Condensed," for instance.Neue Helvetica sets new standards in terms of its form and number of variants. It is the quintessential sans serif font, timeless and neutral, and can be used for all types of communication. Neue Helvetica is one of three Helvetica typeface families from Linotype. Aside from the original Helvetica from the 1960s, there is the 21st Century Helvetica World, with rich language support capabilities.Neue Helvetica contains 51 different font weights. All weights are also available in Central European versions, supporting the languages of Central and Eastern Europe. Lastly, 34 weights are available in Cyrillic versions.Many customers ask us what good non-Latin typefaces can be mixed with Neue Helvetica. Fortunately, Neue Helvetica Paneuropean already has Cyrillic versions, has Greek as well, and Helvetica World includes Arabic and a specially-designed Hebrew Helvetica in its OpenType character set. But Linotype also offers a number of CJK fonts that can be matched with Neue Helvetica.Chinese fonts that pair well with Neue Helvetica:MHei HK (Traditional Chinese)MHei PRC (Simplified Chinese)Japanese fonts that pair well with Neue Helvetica:YU Gothic (Japanese)Korean fonts that pair well with Neue Helvetica:YD Gothic 100 (Korean)

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A former doctor at the D.C. Jail was sentenced Friday for sexually assaulting an inmate, officials said.
Lewis Jackson, 37, was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of second-degree sexual abuse in January, officials said.
According to officials, Jackson was working at the D.C. Jail as a medical doctor when he sexually assaulted an inmate who was seeking medical care. The victim reported the incident immediately.
Jackson also pled guilty in November 2012 for sexually abusing three inmates at a federal penitentiary in Atlanta where he had worked as a doctor, officials said.
He has been sentenced to 25 months in prison for those crimes.
After serving his five-year sentence, Jackson will be placed on 10 years of supervised release. He also must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

MoneyShow's Tom Aspray often uses Fibonacci analysis to determine likely entry points and profit targets for his Charts in Play recommendations. Here, he uses a few recent examples to examine more closely how he establishes these preferred buy levels.
In determining whether a market is likely to go up or down, I first look at the monthly, weekly, and daily charts. This step often is enough for me to determine which ones need more careful analysis.
In the second phase, on-balance-volume and relative performance analysis play a primary role, though other technical tools are often also used.
Once I find a market that I think has a high probability of going up or down, then further work must be done in order to determine an entry level, potential stop, and price objective.
I come across a number of markets each week that I think show a good potential to rise or fall 10% to 15%, but they are dismissed as they do not present any reasonable risk strategy at current levels. Often, I will determine that risking 5% to make 10% to 12% is not worth it.
When I am looking to buy or sell a market that is correcting against a major trend, Fibonacci retracement analysis plays an important role in helping me determine a possible entry point, as well as a profit objective.
In this article, I would like to review some current as well as past markets to show you the process that I use to identify a market to trade, and how Fibonacci analysis is included to determine not only entry but also exit levels.
Since the start of the summer, I have been watching the gold market, as I was aware of the seasonal tendency for it to bottom in the latter part of July. Since the highs in September of 2011, I have been looking for a correction within the major trend that would last long enough to reverse the extreme bullish sentiment that prevailed last summer.
The major support level for the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) that I identified soon after the top was the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support level at $140, which was calculated from the October 2008 low of $66 and the September 2011 high of $185.85.
For those who are not familiar with Fibonacci analysis, a violation of this level would have indicated a further decline to the major 50% support at $135. (To learn more, read Fibonacci Analysis: Master The Basics.)

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Like many artists photographer Angelo Merendino took the universal themes of pain and loss from his personal life and turned them into art. In 2011 Angelo's wife passed away after battling with breast cancer. Angelo documented his wife's journey with breast cancer through his photos.
In 2008, Jennifer Merendino was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer eventually spread to some of her lymph nodes. She underwent surgery, radiation and other treatments.
Angelo has received a bunch of support online and he explained that sharing the photographs has helped him grieve.
Angelo is currently showcasing the photographs online and in several art gallery shows. He is also taking the steps to publish a book."It's making something positive out of a really horrible experience," he said.
The series of photos titled "The Battle We Didn't Choose" can viewed online at MyWifesFightWith BreastCancer.com and Angelo's Youtube channel.

Raghuram Rajan's RBI sprang a surprise on the world by turning hawkish during the monetary policy review meet that was hyped up significantly in recent weeks, but ultimately the cbank continued with D Subbarao's much-maligned policies with an interest rate hike - RBI hiked short-term lending (repo) rate by 0.25 per cent to 7.5 per cent.
Raghuram Rajan however, said the hike made Friday in the key policy repo rate cannot be immediately viewed as negative for economic growth.
He added that the repo rate hike affects 0.5 percent of the entire borrowing of the banking system.
A hawkish RBI unexpectedly raised the policy rate as it kept its focus on controlling inflation, which it felt would be above the expected levels in the current fiscal.

RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan in his maiden policy review, however, eased liquidity through a reduction in the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate, at which banks borrow from the central bank, by 0.75 per cent to 9.5 per cent.
The repo rate or the short term lending rate has been increased by 25 basis points to 7.5 per cent from 7.25 per cent with immediate effect.
The stock markets reacted negatively, with the BSE Sensex tanking by about 500 points while the rupee depreciated 69 paise to 62.46 against the dollar.
*Stocks: Top Gainers/Top Losers
"The need to anchor inflation and inflation expectations has to be set against the fragile state of the industrial sector and urban demand. Keeping all this in view, bringing down inflation to more tolerable levels warrants raising the repo rate by 25 basis points immediately," Raghuram Rajan said in the mid-quarter policy review statement.
Raghuram Rajan kept the cash reserve ratio (CRR), the portion of deposits that banks are required to maintain with the RBI in cash, unchanged at 4 per cent.
At the same time, the RBI reduced the minimum daily maintenance of CRR from 99 per cent of the requirement to 95 per cent effective from September 21, a move aimed at inducing liquidity into the system.
Driven by costlier food items, wholesale price inflation rose to a six-month high of 6.1 per cent in

By JOSH STROPE
Bishop Donahue lost a tough game last week to Weirton Madonna and sit at No. 14 in the latest WVSSAC Class A football rankings.
Bishops coach John Durdines doesn't sit there and think about playoff scenarios.
''Doing that will drive you crazy,'' he said.
What he does know is that if Bishop Donahue wins out, it is likely headed to the postseason for the third straight year. That starts this week with Paden City.
''The kids were down but they quickly rebounded,'' Durdines said of the Madonna loss. ''We had a good day of practice and we are moving forward and plugging away. This is one of those opportunities that got away and we just have to keep getting better.''
Against the Blue Dons, when the Bishops had a drive that didn't have any penalties, they scored. When they committed a penalty, they didn't.
''I think we had six false starts and kept going backward,'' Durdines said. ''We need to be more disciplined, more focused.''
Paden City could be the best cure for the Bishops, but don't expect Durdines to overlook the Wildcats.
''They are young, but they have some athletes,'' Durdines said. ''They have a nice quarterback (Zach Heasley) that can throw the ball very well.
''There is some speed on the outside and Brent (Croasmun) has them working hard and playing hard. We definitely have to keep our focus.''
The biggest mismatch may be in the trenches, where youth has really hurt the Wildcats.
''We think we have made some strides with our skill players,'' Croasmun said. ''Kennedy Cain is catching the ball well, Heasley is throwing it better. We are just getting beat on the line of scrimmage.
''That is our biggest weakness. We are getting outmuscled and it's a learning experience. It will grow with time.''
That will make it hard for the Wildcats to stop the duo of Jordan Bonar and Saquan Hill as both Bishops backs are having solid seasons.
That is also making it easier for Jesse Padlow, who is having a stellar first year for the Bishops under center and is completing 62 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
''They are probably one of the top Class A programs in the state of West Virginia,'' Croasmun said of Donahue. ''They are very well-balanced. They seem to run when they want to and pass when they want to. They are very aggressive on defense. We are going to have our hands full.''

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - LaMarcus Aldridge scored a game-high 25
points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Wesley Matthews added 22 points and the
Portland Trail Blazers held on for a 100-98 win over the Minnesota
Timberwolves on Monday.
The Blazers led by as many as 18 points early in the fourth quarter, but the
Wolves cut their deficit to 91-80 with just under five minutes left. Minnesota
then opened a 16-6 run, capped with J.J. Barea's falling layup, to pull within
97-96 with 36.9 seconds left.
Aldridge, though, buried a deep jumper over Nikola Pekovic nine seconds later.
Minnesota, though, pulled back within 99-98 six seconds later when Ricky Rubio
found Dante Cunningham in the lane for a slam.
The Wolves quickly fouled Luke Babbitt on the inbounds pass and he split the
free-throw attempts.
Rubio then dribbled off nearly 14 seconds before firing up an off-balanced
jumper that was swatted away by Aldridge, who was fouled after corralling the
Aldridge, though, missed a pair of free throws to give the Wolves one last
chance to either tie or win the game.
Following a timeout, Rubio took the inbounds pass and dribbled to his right
before kicking it to Cunningham at the top of the key. Cunningham shook a
defender with a pump fake, but his jumper at the buzzer fell short and the
Blazers held on for the win.
Cunningham, who went 9-for-9 from field goal range in his last game, knocked
down 11-of-17 shots en route to a season-high 23 points. Rubio added 15 points
and 14 assists for the Wolves, losers in 12 of their last 14 games.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- As Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci knows as much about the science of the flu -- its molecular makeup and patterns of transmission -- as just about anybody in the country. As the father of three young children not that long ago, he also knows a thing or two about just how easy the flu is to get, and give.
For the younger Dr. Fauci, as with many parents, it could very well have started with one of his kids sneezing or coughing on or near him.
"They would get a respiratory infection, they would come, and how do you resist hugging and kissing them? They would get respiratory secretions on your face and hands and then all of a sudden, you wake up one day and you say, I feel a little chilly," Dr. Fauci said.
Once a person is infectious, usually after a 1-4 day incubation period, they can then pass the flu on by, among other things, sneezing or coughing on somebody else, or by typing on a keyboard, or turning a doorknob that somebody else then touches.
As far as stopping the spread of the flu, Dr. Fauci said the best advice is the most simple advice: Get the flu vaccine.
"I mean, that clearly is the bottom line way to prevent the spread of influenza," Dr. Fauci insisted.

Differing on defense
Military | The battle over the defense bill goes beyond dollars to include same-sex marriage and religious liberty issues
"Differing on defense" Continued...
President Obama told the graduating class of U.S. Air Force Academy cadets on Wednesday that they are starting their service at a time when the burden of national security no longer falls so heavily on the military's shoulders.
"You are the first class in nine years that will graduate into a world where there are no Americans fighting in Iraq," Obama said in a campaign-like speech in Colorado Springs, Colo., that was thin on policy and largely devoted to declaring his foreign policy a success over the last four years. "We've put al-Qaeda on the path to defeat. And you are the first graduates since 9/11 who can see clearly how we'll end the war in Afghanistan."
Obama pledged to keep the military fast, flexible, versatile, and superior. But what was left unsaid by the president was the lack of peace and harmony between the White House and Congress regarding how to fund the military going forward.
The House of Representatives last Friday approved its plan for the Pentagon's budget for next year. But House lawmakers, including 77 Democrats, passed the $642 billion bill despite a veto threat from Obama. The House plan adds $8 billion more for the military next year than what the president has called for. It's a wide financial discrepancy that Obama left out of his commencement address at the Air Force Academy.
In this election year, Republicans are trying to portray themselves as being behind the military, as the Pentagon faces an uncertain future after the drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mitt Romney, Obama's presumptive opponent this November, is also backing increases in defense spending.
The House lawmakers went against the president by approving an amendment to the bill that prohibits Obama from making any unilateral reductions to U.S. nuclear forces. Arguing that it would give rights to foreign terrorists, Republicans also rejected an amendment to the defense-spending bill that would have allowed suspected terrorists detained in the United States to be charged with crimes and tried in federal courts.
But these are not the only areas in which conservative lawmakers used the defense bill to set up clear distinctions between themselves and the Obama administration heading into this fall's elections.
For example, an approved amendment to the House defense bill explicitly prevents same-sex marriage services from taking place on U.S. military bases.
"The administration's recent actions have created uncertainty regarding ceremonies permitted on military installations," said Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Miss., one of the amendment's sponsors. "This amendment is intended to clear up any doubt and reinforce the [Defense of Marriage Act's] authority as it applies to those installations."
Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., successfully pushed through a second amendment to protect the religious liberty of all military service members, particularly military chaplains. Akin's amendment creating a statutory conscience protection clause for service members came at the request of military chaplain organizations that have reported an increase in censorship and discipline directed at soldiers who have moral or religious concerns about same-sex marriage.
"This liberal agenda has infiltrated our military," Akins said. "Moral or religious concerns about same-sex marriage or the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' have become potentially career-ending."
In a recent letter sent to Rep. Howard P. McKeon, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, a group of 19 retired military officers and pastors representing the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty highlighted some of these recent abuses including:
- A senior chaplain on a major stateside military base lost his authority of the chapel under his charge for insisting that, in accordance with federal law, the chapel wouldn't be used to celebrate unions between same-sex couples.
- Another chaplain was threatened with early retirement and reassigned to a position with more supervision for forwarding an email reflecting on the former "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the military.
"Until Congress acts decisively, efforts to silence the voices of our military chaplains of all faiths and backgrounds will likely continue well into the future," states the letter from the alliance, which represents more than 2,000 military chaplains.
The Obama administration issued a statement saying that it "strongly objects" to these amendments protecting chapels and the conscience of chaplains and other service members. The administration stated that those provisions "adopt unnecessary and ill-advised policies that would inhibit the ability of same-sex couples to marry or enter a recognized relationship."
The administration added that the religious and moral beliefs protected by the amendments are overbroad and would be "potentially harmful to good order and discipline." Denying service members access to facilities such as chapels on the basis of sexual orientation, would, according to the administration, be "troublesome."
As the Senate now finalizes its version of the defense-spending bill, groups like The Secular Coalition for America are lobbying that the religious conscience clause protections not be included. The coalition argues that the amendments would lead to harassment of the gay and lesbian military community.
But Rep. Palazzo, while promoting his amendment protecting chapels from hosting same-sex union ceremonies during committee debates, argued that the Defense Department facilities are federal property so they already fall under the jurisdiction of DOMA.
"The Defense of Marriage Act was clear in defining marriage for purposes of the federal government," Palazzo said. "This amendment does nothing else but clarify for the Department of Defense that this standard should be upheld on military bases."

Yeah you need that collar. Did you make sure that knurled adjusters are as loose as they can go? Sometimes if you take the lock nut off it will give you enough play.Scottie
There should be at least one adjuster where the cable goes into the carb.ScottieYour right. There is a small brass threaded hex fitting on the carb end. It's sitting on what looks like a stack of 5 washers? If I back off the fitting, it increases the height and allows the washers to be loose. I may have to add more washers to get the slack in the housing I need on the other end. Thanks for the heads up. No more today.
NO NO NO!!! TAKE THE WASHERS OUT!!!THAT'S why you don't have any slack in the cable. Remove ALL of those washers and you should have the free play you need and be back in business. Scottie
Sounds like you need a new cable. Just buy a replacement or find a local bike shop that builds custom cables. Maybe the guy that helped you the first time can build you a new one from scratch.Scottie

WHEELING - Following the fifth game of the year, a 6-4 loss to River, Magnolia baseball coach Dave Cisar wasn't quite sure what the season had in store for his Blue Eagles.
''We were shocked by River,'' Cisar said. ''And no disrespect to River. They played an outstanding game against us with very solid defense and some good pitching, but we're thinking 'just wake up and get it going.' ''
That the Blue Eagles did and still continue to do as the club has strung together 17 consecutive victories over a 22-day span to compile a 21-1 record and became the first OVAC baseball team to win 20 games this season.
Article Photos
Magnolia became the first OVAC baseball team to win 20 games this season.
''We never would have thought that (would happen),'' Cisar said. ''I'm very happy with 17 wins in a row, but it doesn't get you anything until you're in the playoffs.''
According to Cisar, who is in his 40th season at the helm, if Magnolia is to make a deep run into the postseason, it won't be without the help of his four seniors.
''We have four great seniors in Ryan Walton, Chandler Sapp, Kyle Elliott and Tanner Hanna,'' Cisar pointed out. ''They've provided great leaderships. Putting those four kids together ... it's been magnificent. That's the first key.
''The second (key) is good pitching. We've had good, solid pitching all year. Whether it's pitcher No. 1 or five or six.''
You could argue that the two keys are one in the same considering that three of the four seniors (Walton, Elliott and Sapp) also lead the pitching rotation.
''We're really happy with Sapp,'' Cisar said. ''Especially on the mound. He's been a starter, a relief, a mop up guy, a closer ... he's really, really helped. Now we have three pretty solid seniors that we feel we can go with any day against anybody.''
The seniors, however, are not the only ones who can get it done from the mound for the Blue Eagles.
Zach Wilhoite, a standout for coach Dave Tallman's basketball team, has also been lights out as well as fellow junior Jake Starkey, who recorded the first no-hitter of his career Monday against Tyler Consolidated.
Even freshman Chase Miller, who Cisar calls ''a pleasant surprise,'' has stepped up for Magnolia.
In a way, the Blue Eagles actually seemed to have nearly mastered every facet of the game.
''It seems like in the last 10 games, we've played real, real solid defense,'' Cisar pointed out. ''And, we're getting timely hits here and there. A couple of games we went into the seventh losing, but then we managed to get good runs.''
Though the victories have been piling up in New Martinsville, no player is letting it get to their heads.
''We've developed a lot of confidence,'' Cisar explained. ''We're not cocky or arrogant, we're just confident. We know we're going to be in every ballgame with real good pitching and good defense.
''We're happy with where we're at. While we're doing this, we're having fun. We're trying to take it one game at a time.''
The Blue Eagles will be looking for their 18 straight and win No. 22 overall as the team travels north for a 5 p.m. showdown with Oak Glen today.

Our Intrepid Crew in Santa Barbara, or, as Pascale no doubt said "Bof!"
Human Boom Vang
John at Monterey
Sailors' Delight
Yesterday evening, as we approached Santa Barbara, we watched a beautiful sunset over Point Concepcion. On the final approach to Santa Barbara we did another spinnaker run until the winds calmed and we had to motor. We arrived at Santa Barbara at 7:30 pm, and reserved a slip in the harbor for 2 nights. This will give us a chance to reprovision, get some sailing gear that we need, and do some projects on the boat.
We had a leisurely dinner of Cuban Farm Style Chicken (chicken simmered with onions, garlic, cumin, and orange juice) and broccoli with cheese sauce, and started to watch a movie, but we soon realized the need for sleep was catching up with us and we retired early.
A comment about the auto-pilot. This is a Raymarine ST-4000 and it is surpassing all expectations. When flying the spinnaker we put the autopilot in "wind vane mode", where it steers to a certain angle of the apparent wind, and we almost never have to touch the wheel, or the sail trim on the chute (unless we're changing course) despite following seas. I had not expected an autopilot to work under such conditions.
It's been beautiful sail so far, the sun broke out and we enjoyed a spinnaker sail in 15 knots going around Point Concepcion. Having rounded the point we are now on a broad reach heading for Santa Barbara.
We had a little visitor along the way. A tiny bird (NOT a sea bird) found our boat when we were about 20 miles offshore. At first he looked tired and found a place on the foredeck to sleep. Francois fed him chopped almonds and held him in his hands. The little bird sat on Pascale's finger. He stayed with us for a few hours, occasionally flying away only to return a few minutes later.
We also saw dozens of dolphins which followed our boat and played in the bow wave.
We had omelettes with the leftover chili and sour cream for breakfast. For lunch I made grilled ham and cheese open-face sandwiches.
Friends, if you wish to email us send a blank email to [email protected] That is an autoresponder which will reply to you with instructions on how to email us.
10/23/2006, 20 miles offshore past Morro Bay
I'm on watch until 5:00 a.m., as we make passage towards Point Concepcion. John piloted from 9pm to 1 a.m. just prior. Our current course puts us on track to round the point mid morning. We had a great sail today, with a 15 knot following breeze, we put up the kite and sailed until it started getting dark. Right now we have a 15 knot wind coming from astern. The fog is thick so I'm watching the radar.
Earlier today we started taking on water, I pumped a bucket or two out of the sump under the engine. We traced the leak to a small puncture in one of the cockpit drain hoses. The puncture was under the waterline intermittently. Fortunately I had brought along some Zspar Splash epoxy. This stuff cures in the presence of water. Got the leak fixed right up, until we can replace the hose.

|Tips offered to help decide when to stop irrigating
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Deciding when to stop irrigating is an important and challenging decision to make. An unneeded 24 hours on a 500-gallon-per-minute well is 720,000 gallons wasted, not to mention the electricity costs. On the other hand, applying that one additional irrigation round could mean several bushels per acre.
The NebGuide, "Predicting the last irrigation for Corn, Grain Sorghum, and Soybeans," is a two-page, easy-to-read Extension pamphlet designed to help irrigators decide when to stop irrigating. A table is included that lists the normal water requirements for corn, grain sorghum, dry and soy beans between various late growth stages and maturity.
All of these crops require some moisture up to the point that the seeds or grain stops filling. Since some of the required moisture can come from the soil, the last irrigation can usually be applied two to four weeks before physiological maturity.

You've got your pattern and your fabric to make your first sewing project. How do you go about cutting it out? Well, before we get to wield the scissors, there are a few little things to do first...
Pre-wash your fabric
I know you're desperate to get cracking and this is a really boring step, but it's a reeeeeally good idea to pre-wash your fabric before you cut it out (or steam/dry clean, depending on your fabric choice). It may well shrink a little, or change other properties such as the drape, resulting in a garment that's too tight for you if you don't wash it first. Just get into the habit of whacking it in the wash as soon as you get home from fabric shopping and you'll save a lot of frustration later.
Press your fabric
Once it's washed and dry, get your iron out and press out any creases in your fabric. You'll want to get it nice and smooth to help ensure the shapes and sizes you cut are accurate. Test out the iron on a small patch first to check that the temperature and steam/non-steam setting you use is suitable for your fabric and won't leave a mark.
Prepare your pattern
Patterns usually come on a massive sheet of paper and need dividing up into different pieces. Cut around each piece using paper scissors. In the next post I'll outline different methods of cutting the fabric - depending on which option you choose, you may want to cut the pattern roughly or accurately. For now, a good option is to cut around each piece leaving a bit of extra space outside the lines.
Give your pattern a press if it's folded or crumpled, again to help with accurate cutting. Most pattern paper will be fine with a low, dry iron – although do test a small patch first as the ink on some patterns can smudge.
Lay out your fabric
Find as long a table as you can get, clear everything off it and give it a wipe down. If you don't have a table at all, you can get a large fold-out cutting mat for the floor.
- Folding the fabric in half makes it easier to cut two of the same piece at once - for example, sleeves or half a bodice when there's a zipper in the middle. Folding also allows you to cut single symmetrical pieces - notice that some pattern pieces correspond to half of a fabric piece only, and will say "place on fold" if they're to be cut like this.
- The "right" side is the front of the fabric if it has a print or slightly different weave on one side. Take a closer look – it's not always obvious if they're different at first glance! The opposite of the right side in this context is the "wrong" side, rather than left side. You'll hear the expression "right sides together" a lot in sewing instructions.
- The "selvedges" (or selvages in US English) are the woven edges of the fabric running lengthways.
Smooth the fabric out to make both sides as flat as possible. If your fabric is longer than your table, lay out as much as you can and keep one end rolled up neatly. That way you can cut a few pieces at a time and unroll more when you free up some space. (Just check that all the pattern pieces fit on the fabric before you start cutting.)
Lay out your pattern
Place your pattern pieces on top of your fabric. This part is a bit like a puzzle. If you're feeling thrifty, the aim of the game is to fit all the pattern pieces on as short a piece of fabric as you can manage. Your pattern instructions may include a suggested layout, or you can play around to see what works best for the width of fabric you have. You can also rearrange the fabric fold if it saves fabric – for example, folding one third over two thirds – as long as the selvedges remain exactly parallel to each other.
Each pattern piece will usually give you some instructions as to how to position them:
- "Place on fold" or "Cut 1 on fold" → Line up the fold edge indicated on the pattern with the fold of the fabric. You'll end up cutting one symmetrical piece of fabric from a pattern piece which corresponds to half.
- "Cut 1" or "Cut 2" → Cut out one piece on a single layer of fabric or matching pairs on a double layer of fabric.
- "Cut 2 + 2" → The second number after the plus sign refers to any interfacing that you need to cut and apply to the pieces. So in this example, you'd cut two pieces in fabric and two matching pieces in interfacing. (Post on interfacing coming soon!)
- Most pieces are laid out face up, unless they're shaded on the pattern layout diagram, in which case they go face down.
- A long double-pointed arrow across a pattern piece indicates the grainline. The grainline shows you how to position your pieces in relation to the direction of threads which make up the fabric. Line up the grainline parallel to the selvedge, ie. running lengthwise down the fabric. An easy way to do this is to start by sticking a pin in one end of the grainline arrow. Measure the distance from the arrow to the selvedge. Now pivot the piece so that the other end of the arrow is the same distance away from the selvedge. Once you're happy with the positioning, pin the other end of the arrow to hold it in place.
Coming up – in which we cut it all out - hooray!

Auditors say parts of Alabama's state government are not verifying that people receiving professional licenses are in the country legally.
The state Department of Examiners of Public Accounts released examinations Friday showing several state agencies and offices are not following requirements in a state law targeting illegal immigrants.
The audits said the boards should force applicants to sign a declaration of citizenship and make sure applicants present one of several approved documents to verify they are legal residents.
Al.com reports that auditors encouraged the boards to enroll in a Web-based service that helps federal, state and local agencies determine an applicant's immigration status.

Officials' hobnobbing with suppliers scrutinized
Issue is whether hospitality at Torrey Pines was disclosed
Point Loma State regulators are reviewing whether officials from across California failed to disclose dinners, drinks, hotel stays, airline tickets and more given to them by a Bay Area nationwide government purchasing alliance.
The host for the officials' annual conference is a Bay Area cooperative known as the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, which covers the cost of airfare, golf, rooms at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, visits to local attractions and more.
The nonprofit has 55,000 members nationwide and aims to harness the purchasing power of governments and nonprofits to save money. Combined, the co-op's members spend more than $1.4 billion per year through its contracts for janitorial supplies, electrical equipment, office supplies, playground equipment and other goods and services.
The co-op relies on an advisory board of purchasing officials, including Arthur Hanby, head of purchasing for the San Diego Unified School District. The advisory board members are the ones hosted at the annual conference.
"We know that our annual meetings are invaluable as idea laboratories; we also know that local government resources are at a minimum," U.S. Communities General Manager Kevin Juhring said in an emailed statement. "Accordingly, we provide for the travel, meals and lodging – all of the costs related to attending the annual meeting – for our participating advisory board members. No public money is spent by any agency that chooses to send an employee to our annual meeting."
U.S. Communities is funded by its suppliers based on a percentage of the sales made through its contracts, in some cases up to 2.5 percent. Those suppliers attend the conferences and rub shoulders with the purchasing officials, taking part in such sessions as "supplier speed dating."
U-T Watchdog covered the conference in February of this year, and then approached the state's Fair Political Practices Commission about whether the hospitality needed to be reported on state-mandated forms disclosing gifts and financial interests of decision-makers.
"We will be reviewing the facts from your story," the commission's chief of enforcement, Gary Winuk, told the Watchdog shortly after the conference. He later added that the review is taking longer than expected because of the large number of officials who have attended.
The Watchdog reviewed the disclosure documents from across the state, known as Form 700s, and found few of the outings, meals and hotel stays listed on disclosure forms.
In general, California's Political Reform Act requires government officials who make or participate in making business decisions for an agency to report travel and other gifts they receive from a single source with a value of $50 or more in a single year.
Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines rooms cost more than $200 per night and 18 holes of golf at Torrey Pines costs more than $140 for out-of-town residents who book their rounds in advance.
A failure to report gifts on annual state-mandated forms can result in fines of up to $5,000 per violation.
The emails of Los Angeles County purchasing head Joseph Sandoval, obtained under the California Public Records Act, indicate that he attended the conference in 2004 and 2005 and between 2007 and 2009.
"As I mentioned on the golf course two months back at the USC (U.S. Communities) annual conference," one computer company contractor emailed to Sandoval in 2008, "GTSI would very much like to find a way to earn your trust and have an opportunity to work with Los Angeles County."
Sandoval did not report receiving any gifts or travel payments from any source between 2005 and 2011, the most recent year for which disclosure forms have been filed.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette 2013 Hometown Dates Promo: Nate Hartsock Returns!
When Desiree Hartsock took Sean Lowe home to meet her family on The Bachelor Season 17, it was a total disaster. So now that she's taking her final four dudes home on July 15's Season 9 Hometown Dates episode, she's gotta have a little fear hidden under her Lululemon workout tank.
Fans of the franchise remember how her brother Nate "Neck Tats" Hartsock called Sean out as a "playboy," so we have to wonder what he thinks of his sister's bout, and whether he'll sabotage her. In the promo for the episode, Des gets a lotta love from Drew Kenney, who tells his mom he loves her. Does she love him back? Well, that's a great question.
On her date with Brooks Forester, she sits down with his approximately 900 family members while he wears a giant-checked plaid shirt and makes things complicated. His sister gives him some advice, but will he take it?
As for the rest of the guys? Well, you'll have to check it out for yourself, though Chris Siegfried's dad sure makes an impression on our little Des.
But the guy who makes the biggest stir? You guessed it, it's Nate himself. Has he turned a new leaf in his bro-sis relationship? Is he on Desiree's side? Is the scene of him spying behind a ficus still haunting you? Us too. Check it out and tune in to the episode on June 15 at 8/7c on ABC.

Just installed ZCS 7.1.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit running on a Xen Server.
Everything went fine, as compared to my last effort installing zcs5.x.x on
Ubuntu 8.04 32bit. It was really a difficult way, seems I edited all installation
script and still nothing good appears. So I resolve to follow some of the community's suggestions to install versions which are officially supported
by the realese.
After installing zcs7.1.4, I said why would I go the hard way when there's
an easy one? Anyway, everything is running smoothly!
Thanks for ZCS!

The region covering Europe, North and Central Asia, comprising the overseas entities of European Union countries, is rich in natural and cultural heritage. It hosts a diverse range of landscapes and habitats, and a wealth of flora and fauna. Eight of the world's Biodiversity Hotspots (as identified by Conservation International - see here) are covered or partially covered by the region: Mediterranean Basin, Irano-Anatolian, Caucasus, Mountains of Central Asia, Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands, New Caledonia, Polynesia-Micronesia and Caribbean Islands. The environmental and biodiversity conditions and issues vary greatly across this vast region.
Biodiversity on European mainland* includes 488 species of birds, 260 species of mammals, 151 species of reptiles, 85 species of amphibians, 546 species of freshwater fishes and about 1,100 marine fishes, 20-25,000 species of vascular plants and well over 100,000 species of invertebrates.
Besides the great diversity of flora and fauna, a large proportion of European* animals and plants are unique to the region: about 27%of terrestrial mammal species are endemic as well as 77% of amphibians, 52% of reptiles, 33% of butterflies, 13% of dragonflies, 81% of freshwater fishes, 88% freshwater molluscs and 16% aquatic plants.
Possibly more than anywhere else in the world, landscapes have been changed by human activities in this region; for centuries most of Europe's land has been used by humans to produce food, timber and fuel and providing living space, so that now the continent is covered with a mosaic of natural and semi-natural habitats surrounding urbanized areas.
Consequently, European species are to a large extent dependent upon these semi-natural habitats maintained by human activity, particularly, traditional, non-intensive forms of land management. These habitats modifications have placed great pressures on our wildlife and natural areas.
Habitat loss and degradation as a result of land use changes are the major causes of species declines in terrestrial environments. In European rivers and wetlands, major threats include dam construction, water abstraction, introduced species and pollution. In the marine areas, over-harvesting is reducing fishery stocks to below their recovery limits, and factors such as bycatch and pollution are threatening marine mammals.
Similar patterns can now be found in the countries of North and Central Asia where human development has had a negative impact on nature.
Beyond mainland, Europe's overseas entities host more endemic animal and plant species than are found on the whole of continental Europe making this region a crucial area for conservation. New Caledonia alone has about as many endemic species as the entire European continent, and French Guiana includes an area of Amazon rainforest the size of Portugal. The biodiversity of these entities is highly vulnerable to human induced impacts such as habitat destruction, alien invasive species, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and increasingly the impacts of climate change. Find out more about this here.
Although considerable efforts have been made to protect and conserve habitats and species in the region and its overseas entities, biodiversity decline and the associated loss of vital ecosystem services continues to be a major concern.
Threatened Europe*
59% of freshwater molluscs
* Data are from the European Red List. Geographical scope is continent wide, extending from Iceland in the west to the Urals in the east, and from Franz Josef Land in the north to the Canary Islands in the south. The Caucasus region is not included. More information here.

Brushes store in the bux, though they do not come with this set. A step above the usual watercolor sets for children.
SNAP You don't need to introduce all the colors at once with this clever pan of paints. Gradually add other colors once your child gets the idea of how to use a few colors without getting them saturated. using the brush offers more freedom than a pencil and the colors are pleasing. This is a pleasing way to develop eye hand control and to explore the magic of mixing colors.

Once forming part of the vast South Sulawesi Province, the province of West Sulawesi was not officially formed until 5th October 2004. Along with the establishment of the new province, a capital was chosen as the center of government activities, which fell on the little coastal town of Mamuju, which lies most central in this tall shaped province. Not only does it serve as the center of government, Mamuju also acts as the main hub to explore the hidden beauty of West Sulawesi.
Although it is the capital of South Sulawesi Province, the town of Mamuju is not an autonomous town and still lies under the administration of the Mamuju Regency. Situated strategically between Palu, capital of Central Sulawesi, and Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi, Mamuju has grown into an economic bridge between the two cities. Flanked by a coastal area and a mountain range, the town is highlighted with green and brownish hills to its immediate interior, and lines of fishing boats and Mandar's distinct Sandeq sailing crafts along its shoreline.
This small city also offers magnificent sceneries and relaxing ambience. Although having undergone reclamation, the Manakara beach still presents a beautiful view of the Karampuang Island in the distance, especially when the sun sets, creating a beautiful silhouette of the island.
While the view of Karampuang Island is already a spectacle in itself , the island holds much more fascinating wonders below the waters surrounding it. Beautiful and pristine coral reefs and schools of colorful fishes dominate the scene right to the shallow shores, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling and diving.
The island itself got its name from a local legend that says that the entire island magically emerged during a full moon, hence the name "Karampuang" which in local language means "The Moon". Sharing borders with the local population who live on the island, the rocky part of the island is also completed with shelters and paved paths for visitors to enjoy the view and ambience of the island. Karampuang island is also habitat to the unique giant Coconut Crabs (Birgus latro) that are known to be able to climb trees and are active at night.
Approximately 30Km away from downtown Mamuju, in the direction of the Ahmad Kirang Airport, one can feel the tranquilizing breeze of Bukit Jati Gentungan Recreational Park. Nestled in a fascinating natural setting, this is the best place just to lay back, relax, and absorb the refreshing atmosphere. The 4 hectares area also comes with a swimming pool for those who wish to take a dip in the refreshing water. The recreation also has 4 villas, 2 cottages, and 1 hall, for those who wish to spend the night here.
As a growing provincial capital, the town of Mamuju has much more complete accommodation facilities compared to other regencies in the province. The best is the three starred 'plus' d'Maleo Hotel and Convention Mamuju which offers 131 rooms and suites. A ballroom can accommodate up to 600 people, besides other indulging facilities. There are also other hotels and inns available in Mamuju, here are a number of them:

If you plan to fly to Mamuju from other parts of the country, then you must first make your way to Makassar. This is because the only direct flight to Mamuju's Ahmad Kirang Airport in Tampa Padang, Mamuju Regency is served by Wings Air which flies daily from Makassar to Mamuju. Other airlines may offer flights to Mamuju from other cities but through connecting flights. From the airport, downtown Mamuju is approximately 30Km away and can be reached by rented or chartered car or public mini buses.
If you wish to try the overland course, the trip from Makassar to Mamuju will take about 8 to 10 hours. Although it is a long drive, you will be presented with some of the most magnificent views of shorelines and mountain ranges through the regencies of Polewali Mandar, and Majene. If you wish to take public transportation, you can take the Makassar-Mamuju buses from Makassar Bus Terminal with costs ranging from IDR100.000 to IDR125.000 and the trip will take 10 to 12 hours.
