The Last Stand (2013)
The Last Stand SynopsisAction icon Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his much-anticipated return to the big screen in Korean director KIM Jee-Woon's hard-hitting U.S. directorial debut, The Last Stand.
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.
With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever.
At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

Reviews for Multigrain Cinnamon Rolls
"Question for the people who used their bread machines. Did you mix everything in a separate bowl (step 1) before adding it all to the bread machine?"
"Oh & no need for butter to spread over filling use water instead. Works well."
"For best results use bread machine. Use oil in dough instead of butter. Can use bread flour. For filling use 1/2 brown & white sugar; can add extra cinnamon. Make sure to use loaf pan the is large enough so the cinnamon sugar mixture does not drip out of pan. Cover with foil if needed. Turn out on serving platter as soon as you take out of oven. Glaze can be omitted."
"I doubled the recipe. They were perfect! My kids loved them. We had them for our Easter morning breakfast. Will make time & time again!"
"A favourite with my family! We make the pull-apart loaf."

So I am working on an original fantasy setting for a game I want to run with some friends, but I would like to have a world I can develop and play around with. For this I need just a basic overland map for 3 continents.
Commission: If possible I would like the work to be done for free seeing as this is just for a hobby, but I'd be willing to pay up to ~$50 for a map if the quality is good.
Subject: For the map I would like it based around 3 continents, similar to Eurasia and Africa, in both Size and look. I have some basic information as well on important places I would like on the map from mountain ranges, important rivers, and various other things. The Map will just be Environmental information, nothing involving country boundaries and territories, just important aspects of the continents. While some things are fixed there is also plenty of room for an artist to add details.
As for the Scale, I would like something roughly 400mi/1 inch since I am trying to cover all of the known world in the setting.
Style: I would prefer the map to be done in greyscale, though colored ones would also be ok. I would prefer decent quality illustration, and if possible a style similar to this: Download Fantasy Art Wallpaper 2102x1528 | Wallpoper #418330
Quality: I am looking for something of semi-professional quality, not something to extravagent, but decent. Like I said this is just for a hobby so something simple and easy to understand would be great. As for a Size I would prefer the map to fit on a sheet of 8.5" by 11" paper so I can pas it around easily.
Time Constraints:Preferably I would like to have it done in 2 months.
If you're interested Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss more of the details, or if you have any questions.

Wondering if anyone on here could make a recommendation for a remote trail cam. Its getting harder and harder for my dad to get into some of the places he has his cameras and it would help him out a bunch to be able to review pictures online. I purchased a Moultrie setup and have an account at moultriegamemanagement.com, but the pictures are small, blurry and black and white. We currently use Cuddeback Attack IRs, which we love, but I don't think Cuddeback makes a remote access application.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Gearstar 4L85E and a Aeromotive Fuel System Install for the Crusher Camaro - Practicing What We PreachWritten by Mike Finnegan on April 1, 2011 Contributors: David Freiburger Our Crusher Camaro Heats Up With A Gearstar 4L85E, An Aeromotive Fuel System, And Other Tune-Ups In Preparation For Adventure.
At HOT ROD, we spend much of our lives ramrodding guys to get out there and really use their cars in glorious and punishing ways. We hock Power Tour(r), Drag Week(tm), the Top Speed Challenge. We needle in general. But we're like monkeys throwing poop from a tree while never leaving our branch; we lead a corporate life of desk riding more than you'd think, and more than we like. While wearing those shackles we've formed a number of private and public excuses for not finishing our cars, many of which you're tired of hearing. We're sick of them, too.
Things are changing. The company has allowed us to hire extra hands, and if you saw the recent episode of Garage Mahal on the DIY Network, you know we've got a shop in the back of our office building that's stocked with an obscene volume of Snap-On tools- and, naturally, a bar. It's not like working in a real car-guy garage anymore, but sometimes the salespeople leave it long enough for us to get something done, and that something has been a focus on making our project cars roadworthy. Hallelujah! We haven't scored a 100 percent completion rate yet, but it's a goal.
Those two paragraphs of self-challenging smack talk in front of nearly a million readers were designed to motivate us, which brings us here: Our longtime Crusher Camaro project car is being revamped, and while wintertime means we won't get to drag-test it right now, we are going to hit the road with it.
You've seen the Crusher on and off in HRM since 1994. It's on the cover of the Mar. '95, May '03, and Dec. '09 issues. In that most recent episode, we tore off the '67s Pro Touring guise and reshaped it as a late-'70s/early-'80s street machine. Auto Drags, Sport Comp tach, 8-71, velocity stacks, the whole hee-haw. It looked perfect. The burnouts created legends.
Behind the scenes, the front fenderwells smacked the tires upon decel and locked 'em up. Ouch. The old small-block's torque converter in the TH400 stalled somewhere around Venus when hit with the grunt of the 650hp, 650 lb-ft, 489ci blown Rat. We never installed an exhaust system because the electric fuel pump was in the way-it was a hangover from a previous life-and the 4.57 gears had the crank humming at 3,500 rpm at just 60 mph. The gas tank leaked, and there were moments when we were ready to toss a match. Yup, the typical magazine project car.
Here's the rescue: new CPP front springs, a whiz-bang fuel system with Aeromotive and Rock Valley parts, and a super trickadero Gearstar 4L85E auto-overdrive trans that promises best-of-both-worlds street and strip performance while laughing off the power of this or any future engine the Crusher may swallow.
You can follow our project car tribulations nearly daily at Facebook.com/HotRodMag, and /DavidFreiburger, and /MikeFinnegan News. If you've been doing that, then you already know of the scheduled debacle of an adventure we've planned as a Crusher road trip. As we write this, we really don't know if we'll survive. If we don't make the national news, you'll have to wait and find out next month. Meanwhile, here's the tech dirt on how we made the car roadworthy.
Overdrive So We Can Overdrive
The 4L85E transmission has ratios of 2.48, 1.48, 1.00, and 0.75:1. Compare that with the TH400 numbers: 2.52, 1.52, and 1.00:1. In addition to the extra gear, the modern trans also features a lockup torque converter, which means that on the highway, the input speed from the engine and the output to the driveshaft is 1:1. That's unlike the TH400, which has inevitable slippage that gets worse the higher the stall rpm of the converter. With the lockup converter, the 0.74:1 overdrive, 3.50 rear gears, and 28-inch-tall tires, the Crusher's Rat will spin 2,362 rpm at 75 mph. The same setup with the TH400 would net about 3,400 rpm.
Finally, the computerized Gearstar 4L85E brings new levels of tuning, as you can adjust shift points (which can be different in every gear), shift firmness, and much more.
Will it fit in your car?
The 4L85E AOD transmission is a tough box, especially after a company like Gearstar builds it. Having another gear and a lockup torque converter will make highway cruises easier on your wallet and ears, but you still have to stuff this monster into your car. Here's a breakdown of the critical dimensions of the GM 4L85E and a TH400. All measurements are listed in inches.

What makes it tick?
GM engineers transmissions to last 100,000 miles under normal operating conditions. Normal isn't in our genetic code, and the Crusher will brutalize whatever slush box is bolted behind the current powerplant or whatever we plan for the future. Gearstar has sold these transmissions to a grip of supercharged racers and is confident that it will stand up to 1,000 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. So what makes this $7,995.00 4L85E so special? Well, there are zero stock parts inside it, and it's handbuilt by a single technician and then dyno-tested before it leaves the facility. The hard parts are burly, as well.
Guzzling Those Awesome Fossil Fuels
Two iterations ago, the Crusher Camaro was stuffed with a mild, 632ci, all-aluminum big-block and huge, ground-mauling, dragster-style Borla collector mufflers on custom headers. That arrangement eliminated rear-mounted mufflers, so someone stuck an Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump where the righthand muff should hang. Obstacle one. Also fubar was a leaky, modified OEM fuel tank without baffles to keep the gasoline pointed to the pickup.
Happy solution: a new, custom stainless steel fuel tank with an intricate baffle system from Rock Valley Antique Auto Parts, available via Detroit Speed & Engineering. The tank uses an Aeromotive Stealth setup that places the fuel pump inside the tank, making it run quieter and cooler (for longevity) and also solving mounting problems. The Stealth setup is available with the killer Eliminator pump (PN 18669, good for 1,400 to 2,300 hp, depending on induction) or the one we've got, the A1000 (PN 18668, works up to 1,500 hp naturally aspirated, or 1,200 carbureted and blown).

Making the switch from the three-speed TH400 to the four-speed 4L85E in a '67 Camaro required modifying the passenger side of the trans tunnel right below the firewall (arrow) to accommodate the wider case of the new trans. The 4L85E is 23/8 inches wider at the bellhousing than the TH400, which required a few hits with a dead-blow hammer to give enough clearance for the tranny cooler line fittings to clear the sheetmetal. We were able to reuse our old flexplate.A hammer wasn't our only trick to make the trans fit. The factory GM 1/4-inch NPT trans cooler fittings (at right) have a female outlet. Add a 90-degree male fitting to these and they flare out too far to clear the trans tunnel, even after we persuaded it with the dead-blow. Sweet Performance makes these cool 90-degree -6 AN adapter fittings (at left) that thread -6 female hose ends onto the trans and clear the tunnel with plenty of room to spare. The unique long-tube fitting goes into the rear of the trans, and the short one threads in up front, saving nearly an inch of space.We added a Lokar dipstick to the Gearstar unit prior to stuffing the trans in place under the car. We also hooked up the tranny cooler lines at this time because it's really tough to access them once the trans is in place.A Hayden transmission cooler and fan assembly are mounted ahead of the core support and plumbed with stainless steel-braided line. Gearstar says a hard-core cooler with a fan is an absolute requirement to keep this transmission alive.Aside from the mechanical differences between the TH400 (foreground) and 4L85E (background), there are other physical differences that must be considered when making this swap. The TH400 is 3 1/4 inches shorter than the 4L85E, so we had to shorten our existing driveline and build a new rear tranny mount.Transferring power repeatedly and efficiently without fading isn't easy with a blown big-block spinning the input shaft. Our trans was built to Level 4 specs, which include Raybestos Blue Plate Special Gen 2 clutch discs. These discs are designed to engage quickly and positively with low wear.
The ProTorque 10-inch race converter is planned to stall at 3,500 rpm with our 650-lb-ft big-block and lock up at a user-programmable speed to drop our cruising rpm substantially. The lockup feature should reduce our cruising rpm approximately 300 rpm after Fourth gear kicks in.A FAST transmission controller will serve as a stand-alone module in our application and give us the ability to tailor nearly every function of the transmission to suit our needs on the street and at the strip. The wiring looks intimidating but it's not; 90 percent of it plugs right into the transmission. The rest of the connections are for power and ground connections, a tach signal, the throttle position sensor (TPS), and plug-in accessories.A TPS is a must. It sends a 0-5-volt signal to the transmission controller, which alters the hydraulic line pressure inside the trans to prevent slippage of the clutch discs. If your engine has EFI, you can simply piggyback the wiring off the existing TPS. Carbureted engines will need a TPS connected to the throttle linkage that will accurately show idle to full-throttle movement. This trick TPS mount is from Compushift, and it's designed to bolt on to a 4150-style carburetor mounting pad. The Acculink is fully adjustable, so getting the throw perfect is easy in single-carb applications. Holley also makes a kit for electric-choke models. Since we have a blower and two carbs, our linkage system prevents us from using the Acculink or the Holley setup. We'll have to fab our own mount.The FAST T-Com software is Windows-based and straightforward. Screen prompts will walk the user through baseline setup, like inputting the tire diameter, rearend gearing, and so on. After that, it's possible to tweak shift points, firmness, and almost every other transmission feature, all the while data-logging the performance of your hot rod. In the next issue of HRM, we'll report back on the Gearstar's performance and how it responded to our programming inputs.Here's the Aeromotive Stealth setup, an in-tank pump with an integral 100-micron pre-filter screen. It mounts in a thick billet ring that's bolted to the inside lip of the tank, and it sips from a dedicated fuel well that ensures ample fuel supply for extended g-forces in any direction.The Aeromotive pump uses an AN -10 outlet requiring an O-ringed, cutoff-style fitting. It's a tight fit to the trunk floor, but it will clear if you use this kind of low-profile, drilled, 90-degree fitting.The top of this custom tank has a dropped centersection that holds the pump (A), the return-line fitting (B), and the fuel-level sending unit (C). Unfortunately, the height of the pump means that this is as deep as the dropped section can be without lowering the bottom of the tank.For the Crusher's anticipated many-horsepower 'plants, we really wanted a tube-style hose end on the pump for superior fuel flow-same for the return line. As a result, we violated our virgin trunk floor and made this clearance box to accommodate the taller fitting for maximum fuel system performance. After the hacking, we discovered that XRP makes a low-profile, full-flow, 90-degree fitting that would have prevented this.

It is a great way to actually fly some real (and some not so real) spacecraft and to learn a little about spaceflight in general. It also is a great way to make some really pretty pictures of some simulated space missions.

05/23/2008, Painted Desert National Monument
There were thriving native communities living in the area now part of the monument. They farmed and hunted around 1000 years ago.
I headed out east after spending the night in Winslow, Arizona. It was cold out and I cranked up the heater when I awoke. While walking the dogs in the morning, I came across three homeless people who had obviously spent that cold night sleeping behind a landrymat. Made me realize how fortunate I am. Drove about an hour and decided to visit the Painted Desert National Monument. I highly recommend this place, located about two hours east of Flagstaff off highway 40. Incredible. The picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. That is a piece of petrified wood at the bottom. There was petrified wood all over the ground in places and the colors of the landscape, it was like another planet or something. I stayed for several hours and explored many sites.
It was much cooler when we arrived in Flagstaff. We played outside in the backyard and had a ball on the trampoline. Especially Jake. It got rainy as I arrived at the Walmart parking log, but the Bounder doesn't care. I enjoyed the sunset while speaking to family over the phone. The video link to Panama was very clear thanks to the broadband available here in Winslow from my verizon card. Leaving soon for another day on the road.
05/22/2008, Between Tucson and Phoenix
I'm writing from the parking lot of the Walmart in Winslow, Arizona. The computer is being powered by an inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter of the Bounder. I've got classical music playing in the background. It is just starting to be light. The drive north from Tucson yesterday was rough. Heavy winds and hot conditions made the steering difficult at times, but we made around 350 miles, including a several hour stop in Flagstaff to play with Alyson and her kids.
05/21/2008, Backyard
By the time I got everything loaded and organized enough to drive, it was just about 4:00 p.m. I decided I was too exhausted to rush off right away and thought it best to enjoy one more evening (including air conditioning) at the Boulder Canyon house. Cousin Jodi and childhood friend Jenn came over to enjoy the sunset. Matt and Albert in Panama City joined in for a time via Skype. Jenn and I enjoyed the speghetti, meatballs and salad my mother sent me off with. It is now 5:00 in the morning and I am about to take the dogs for a walk down in the wash. Then we'll head out. I've already had one unfortunate set back early this morning. I checked my e-mail and discovered I received a traffic ticket from one of those new computer photo-sensor systems. I was sure I had that light. Scary little brother. It uses sensors on the ground, takes photos from several angles, integrates that with the computer data feed from the traffic light, determines if there is a violation, and even offers a video. I hope they have a defensive driving school in Oriental, NC.
05/20/2008, Northeast Tucson, Arizona
This is the view as you drive out of my neighborhood. I went by it so many times over the last 5 years I practically stopped noticing.
05/20/2008, Outside the Garage, Boulder Canyon, Tucson
I'm into day four of the final push to take care of things in Tucson, clear out the house, load the Bounder, and head off towards North Carolina and Tropical Dreamer. So many material items that have to be dealt with. Throw away, give away, save, take. I'm really looking forward to simplifying. Jake and Anne have been watching me pack for the last several weeks and I'm sure they are stressed about it... actually they seem quite calm so long as we are all together. It reassures Jake that he is coming when I let him hang out in the Bounder while I pack it or clean it. He is definitely a traveling retriever. Anne, well she prefers to hang out inside the house within eyesight. It is looking like we may get out today. If not, then tomorrow.
05/18/2008, Boulder Canyon, Tucson
Yes, that's correct, my Mother came over and helped me load my clothing, towels, linens, etc. into the Bounder. Thanks Mom! Before that, ex-cousin-in-law Guy helped me load things into the bottom to make the most of my space. He also helped me to install the versahaul, put the scooter on, and tie it down. It is a lot easier to do that with two people. The Bounder has a gross vehicle weight limit of 20,000 pounds. I don't know how close I am, but I am sure it is at least twice as heavy as its ever been while in my possession. We'll see how she does up hills on the trip eastward and then west through the Rocky Mountains in the early Fall. Come to think of it, there have been a lot of people who've helped me on this voyage so far. I could hardly have done it alone. Irwin helped me move my heavy things with his truck; Carol, Jenn and Leslie (my former legal assistants) helped me pack up and close the office and a million other things that made this voyage possible. Cousin Jodi drove me to pick up the Bounder from the shop this time and so many times before. She was there for all of the initial Bounder trips, including all the learning experiences. Matt is helping me in all sorts of ways. I am fortunate to have such people in my life. I am a lone traveler, but in a lot of ways it is the people in my life and who I encounter who make the experience possible and enjoyable.
05/18/2008, Boulder Canyon, Tucson
I got a good start yesterday afternon. Big things are pretty much in. Lots of small stuff to store today. WIth all the nooks and crannies on the 34 foot Bounder, I can fit everything. However, the 9 foot pole assembly for the wind turbine won't fit underneath so its either going to have to travel inside or get tied to the roof. Fully loaded, we're going to be heavy, especially with the scooter on the back. I should finish packing the Bounder today and on my way by tomorrow or the next day. Tucson is favoring us with a few spectacular spring days. In a month, this place will be an oven.
05/18/2008, Panama City, Panama
As a final visual tribute (a bit blurry, sorry) to the Panama Adventure, I offer a photo of the air conditioner Matt bought for his new room at Albert's flat. We were quite impressed with Albert for using the foam packing material as insulation between the unit and the wall, but, somehow it doesn't seem quite as grand from the detached perspective the picture presents. No seriously, that installation needs some serious finish. Note the remote control on the top - so one may adjust it from bed. Niiice.

Your B5 rack (the first one) needs a set of the half-circle clips that are used on the front mounting of the pillion seat (the rear seat mate of your front seat)you would also need to drill a second hole in the rack leg above the mounting rail.
I do not have the bike at work today but when I get a chance will unbolt the rack and take some photos of the mounts.One difference I have noticed is the rear mount on my bike has a slot not a hole.
Ahh... I think I see what you're getting at now, Gremlin:

French Mom Takes English Exam For Her Daughter
Helicopter parenting has just reached a whole new level of creepy after one mom in Paris showed up at a testing center to take an exam for her daughter. The Raw Story reports that the 52-year old woman wore Converse boots and a good amount of makeup in order to blend in among the teens and spattering of adult students at the off-site testing hall.
The woman slipped easily into the testing hall and sat down for the 3-hour English exam. She was part of the way through it when a monitor noticed that she didn't quite match her ID picture, and notified the head of the exam center. They allowed the woman to continue testing so the other students wouldn't be disturbed, but after two hours, an officer in civilian clothing asked her discreetly to leave with him.
The woman was taken to the police station for questioning and the consequences that she or her daughter will suffer is unknown at this point.
It's incredible how far this woman got to cheating her daughter's exam for her, and we're shocked that a parent would go to such lengths to do so!
What do you think of this, moms? Tell us below!

Evaporative Cooler Units
How to Select
Evaporative Cooler Units
An evaporative cooler is a device that provides a low-cost alternative to conventional air-conditioners, and it's the perfect product to install in homes that are built in desert areas. Such device combines a natural process of water evaporation with air-moving technology, thus offering very effective cooling. To help the process of selecting an evaporative cooler unit that will suit your home best, we have prepared this simple guide.
First and the most important aspect to consider in an evaporative cooler unit is its size. Not only will the device with a proper size offer perfect cooling, it will also use less energy and money while operating. So how do you select an evaporative cooler unit of a proper size?
You may know that the air-conditioner's output is measured by British Thermal Units or BTUs. Evaporative coolers, on the other hand, are rated by the cubic feet per minute, CFM, meaning the amount of air the device is able to blow into the room per one minute. Determining the proper size of an evaporative cooler is pretty easy, all you have to do is use a specific formula: calculate the cubic feet of the area that requires cooling and then divide it by two. The number you will receive is the CFM rating that your future evaporative cooler unit should have.
Now that you know the main characteristic of the evaporative cooler, you might move on to the next step and consider all of the additional features and options such device should offer.
For example, to make the process of adjusting the temperature level or the air-flow easier, you might want the cooler to be equipped with a thermostat or programmable controls or both.
In addition to that, select the device that is manufactured from long-lasting materials. Since any evaporative cooler unit is constantly contacting with water, its inner parts have to be water-resistant.
Moreover, don't forget about maintenance. The bigger and more powerful such device is, the more difficult it is to maintain it. The automatic cleaning option will make this process much easier and will help you save your time in a ling run.
The installation type of an evaporative cooler is also something to consider when selecting such device for your home. Make sure you have enough space on the wall or ceiling to install all of the necessary tubes and wires. If not, you might look for a portable cooler that doesn't require installation and can be moved to any area of the room.

This makes underwater photography more fun for me because it puts more depth and color into the picture and if I get too much in the frame I can just crop it out later. Its great.

I bought the battery because the one that came with my camera lasted for barely one dive. This new battery lasted through two dives and surface pictures later that night. I just wish the camera would have come with a good battery like this.

I recently bought the evolution roller bag and love it. I went on a two week dive trip to Thailand and was able to get all my dive gear and clothes in the bag. I have had an Akona backpack for about seven years and it is still in great condition that is why I wanted a piece of luggage from Akona and as far as I can say right now Im sure it will withhold the test of time and abuse too.

WALDORF, Md. (WUSA9) -- Charles County authorities say they have found a 17-year-old boy with autism who was reported missing after a shopping trip with his family.
According the sheriff's office officials, on Wednesday Diamonte Godoy was shopping with family members at the Walmart located at 11930 Acton Lane in Waldorf, Md. He left the business without telling his family. Authorities say surveillance video indicates he left at approximately 8:29 p.m.
At approximately 9 a.m. authorities reported that Godoy was found Thursday morning at Miller's Farm in the 10400 block of Piscataway Road in Clinton, Md. They say an off-duty officer noticed the teen seemed to be disoriented. When Prince George's County Police responded and ran a computer check, they found that he had been reported missing. The teen was safe and unharmed and was re-united with his family, say authorities.

WASHINGTON – Different hospitals in different places can charge very different prices for the same procedure.
New data from the federal government show, for example, that the cost of a joint replacement can range from $5,304 in Ada, Okla., to $223,373 in Monterey, Calif.
The data, collected by Medicare from more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals, contains some good news about prices in Maryland and Virginia.
The Washington Post crunched the state-by-state numbers for 10 common hospital procedures and issues — including major lower joint replacements, heart failure and pneumonia — and found average prices in Maryland the lowest in the nation.
The Post's interactive graphic comparing state averages also shows the average price in Virginia is lower than national averages in all cases.
In D.C., the average prices for those hospital procedures match or exceed national averages in seven of 10 cases.

Thanks to an anonymous DtL reader for sending these images over of Jurgen Melzer and Dominika Cibulkova already enjoying their off season together vacationing in the Maldives.
The Slovak has most definitely moved on from Frenchie Gael Monfils. Was that fast or what?
Anyway, it looks like they're pretty happy and having a grand ol' time in the water but I have to say they don't come anywhere close to Anando, the hottest couple in tennis at the moment. Nice try, though!

These fotos looks sooo planned. C'mon Rich! Cutest couple in tennis, Rafisca!! I give Anando 6 months, probably less.ReplyDelete
natch, that's a valuable question: WHERE THE HECK IS RAFA?!?!?! Can we please see him rolling around somewhere healing his knees?! Getting massages? Making a poor woobie face? And I like the skinny dipping idea, hehe.ReplyDelete
Te echo de menos, Rafito. :´-(
babz: IMO hottest couple = anando, stylish couple = rafiscaReplyDelete
Rich you shouldn't post that photos, these are private pictures of Dominika taken from her private Facebook album, the one who got them did bad sending to you. Talking about gossip is fun, but posting private photos of their vacation is like paparazzi...ReplyDelete

I don't even post pictures of my friends smoking on facebook in case someone will find it and send it to my grandma, and she will get to the conclusion that I smoke too.
Rich - I agree to disagree. Rafa is hotter than Nando, Xisca is hotter than Ana IMO.
babz: hopefully your grandma isn't blog savvy or she may end up reading some of your Rafa comments - yikes!ReplyDelete
yes we agree to disagree - love it.
LORD - I thank the deities every day that my grandma doesn't even know how to text. What I'm worried are my younger relatives or cousins finding any pictures of me. Oh, there's Anita.. HUGGING A GUY!! *GASP* She's a WHORE!!ReplyDelete

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, MD (WUSA) -- Two Prince George's County police officers rushed into a burning building and rescued a half dozen people from the flames -- but they're still haunted by three howling dogs that they were unable to save.
Lt. Scott Finn was on routine patrol. From blocks away, he saw a column of smoke rising from an apartment building on Rochelle Rd. He and Cpl Rickie Adey rushed in to save people inside who had no idea their lives were in danger.
Flames were roaring across the back of the building from the first floor up through the roof. "I could hear screams of people," said Lt, Finn, "But then I heard blood-curdling screams and yipes and yelps. And I didn't know what it was."
Lt. Finn, a 17-year veteran and former officer of the year, realized the terrifying baying was coming from a pitbull and puppy trapped on a burning balcony. He scorched his hand trying to climb up and toss the dogs over the railing to safety.
Then the two officers rushed around to the other side of the burning building to get more people out. "A couple of times, when I banged on the door, they asked me what I wanted," says Cpl Adey. "And I told them the building was on fire. And they asked me 'What for?' And I asked them to stand back, and I proceeded to kick in the door and I told them to exit the building right away."
The officers broke down more doors, helped a sleeping elderly woman down the stairs and then went back for another man who was still sleeping on an upper floor.
But the officers are still upset they were unable to do more. "There was another dog inside of an apartment, and I could hear the glass banging, and I could see it moving. I was hoping it wasn't a person. Come to find it was another dog inside. All those dogs burned up inside," says Lt. Finn.
Investigators know the fire started on the outside of the first floor. But they're still unsure what sparked it.
Dozens of people are homeless and just trying to salvage what they can.

- Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim on the sparse crowds in Doha for the WTA Championships
So funny. Yes, this move was all about the bottom line but, truth is, the bottom fell out guys.
However, I have this truly novel, off the wall, I-can't-believe-it's-not-butter kind of idea: if you really want to make money off this year-end tennis thing, get smart and create a combined event leveraging the star power of both tours to sell the event. Then you can stick it wherever you want it.
Crazy, right? I know!

Woman crashes SUV into poles, knocks out power
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 7:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 7:04 a.m.
OCALA - A driver lost control of a sport utility vehicle on Southwest 66th Avenue Thursday night and struck two poles, blocking traffic and knocking out power for a while.
Officials said the woman was not injured, but the two-lane road was blocked for several hours as crews from Ocala Electric Utility worked to fix the poles and restore power.
Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Casey Farrell said the woman, driving a 2007 Isuzu sport utility vehicle, was westbound when she lost control of the SUV on the wet roadway. Farrell said the SUV then went onto a shoulder and struck a utility pole, snapping it in half. Continuing on the same shoulder, the vehicle slammed into a second pole and stopped.
Officials said the woman was ticketed for careless driving.

Ocean Alexander 83By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
Bad Weather Warrior
This 83-footer out-Punches Poseidon on a foul test day.
The sky was as gray as a battleship, and raindrops the size of marbles fell so hard onto the wooden-plank dock beneath my feet that the water hit me coming down and bouncing back up. Winds were out of the northeast at 25-mph-plus, and waves were forming eight-foot vertical walls just outside of Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades inlet. A great day for a boat ride, I thought with a healthy dose of New York sarcasm, as the rain soaked my clothes through to my bones leaving me feeling like a sponge.
While I worried that this sea trial would be one of those victory-at-sea days, my confidence in a positive outcome grew as I gazed at the 83 feet of motoryacht across the dock from me. She was the latest launch from Ocean Alexander, and taking in her muscular look and brawny 20-foot beam, I was comforted by the fact that she at least appeared like she'd been designed to go out and get home on dismal weather days like this.
And indeed she was. The 83's semi-planing hull form comes from longtime Ocean Alexander collaborator Ed Monk Jr. Its shape starts with a steep entry designed to make incoming waves (say, eight-footers) impact well aft of the bow, creating a soft landing when blasting through head seas. The fine foresections are also designed to prevent the 83's bow from plowing, enhancing efficiency. Long spray rails and a pronounced bow flair are employed to keep her dry, and considering all the rain, wind, and waves on test day, they did a good job.
This seakindly hull form is supported by a solid-fiberglass bottom laminate that's infused with carbon fiber (as is the 83's deck) for added strength without added weight. Above the waterline, Airex PVC foam core is sandwiched between fiberglass laminates for additional impact strength, sound attenuation, and thermal-insulating properties. Adding to this impressive combination are foam-filled and carbon fiber-reinforced fiberglass longitudinals and transversals that add rigidity and backbone.
It all sounded and looked reassuring, but eventually it was time to watch this motoryacht move some water. The tide was rushing into the inlet against an outgoing wind, causing a steep chop in the last few hundred yards before we entered the open ocean. Two optional Seakeeper M7000 gyros (see "Noteworthy," this story) did a solid job of minimizing roll during our slow-speed departure. And then it got interesting.
Just past the jetty the seas were a steady six feet, yet the 83 cruised along between 1250 rpm (13 mph) and 1500 rpm (14.9 mph) simply piercing and dispatching the water without a bang or a bump. Ocean Alexander captain Clyde Hensley jogged our test vessel further offshore until the seas and relentless downpour prevented a view back to the beach. Then the waves grew bigger.
A couple of miles from the inlet, we were motoring head first into eight-footers, yet once again the 83 dismissed them. I can't honestly recommend heading out in these conditions, but I was reassured to see that this yacht's claim of being an offshore-capable cruiser was coming to fruition.
Hensley found a comfortable route to run so we could attempt to gather speed, fuel, and other data. Amazingly, he actually managed to find a heading that enabled him to get the boat to WOT once (albeit briefly). With optional 1,650-bhp Cat C32s humming below decks (1,600-hp MTU 10V2000s are standard), I recorded an average 2000-rpm cruise speed of 20.4 mph while the motors burned 114 gph. This gives the 83 a cruising range of 322 miles based on a full 2,000-gallon fuel load and a ten-percent reserve. I think her long-distance sweet spot, however, is 1250 rpm, where at 13 mph and a 30-gph fuel burn, her range more than doubles, to 777 miles. At WOT (2314 rpm), the 83 managed a top hop of 26.7 mph but a 178-gph burn seriously shortens her range: try 270 miles. We repeated the speed runs in the calmer water in the inlet, where I also noted that she planed quite easily, which Ocean Alexander attributes to her hull form, as well as proprietary prop tunnels and an exhaustive pre-build tank-testing schedule.
As impressive as her hull and construction were, the 83's Caterpillar power played a strong supporting role in her performance. These big motors seemed almost small in the vessel's expansive engine space, which features better than 6'8" headroom. A 32-inch-wide aluminum diamond-plate walkway between them and diamond-plate steps aft of each motor (one step up and one back down) provide good access to the outboard sides. All the way outboard of each Cat is a standard 32-kW Northern Light genset, while between the motors and gensets is a line of battery boxes. Everything is accessible. In addition to bright overhead lighting, the area also benefits from natural light entering through portholes on either side of the Cats. Duplex fuel-water separators for the mains are easily accessed on the ER's forward bulkhead, but I wish the fuel tank sight gauges were as easy to see. To view them, you have to walk all the way to the forward bulkhead and look all the way outboard to each motor.
The 83's saloon, which is accessed from the optional teak-covered cockpit via a pneumatically operated sliding door (very Star Trek), is just as spacious. Entering it I was immediately struck by the contrast between the boat's traditional motoryacht exterior styling and her contemporary Euro-inspired interior, which was adorned in light oak veneer accented with dark, rich, high-gloss wenge trim. A cocoa-colored carpet added to the upscale feel as did the galley's standard stainless steel Jenn-Air refrigerator, convection oven, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and four-burner Gaggenau electric cooktop.
One thing I could've done without is the standard dayhead, which is to starboard in between the saloon and galley. When sitting in the pilothouse behind the wheel in the electrically adjust-able Stidd helm seat, visibility is restricted to starboard and aft. Moreover, I think the head makes the saloon and galley areas feel smaller than they really are. Fortunately it can be deleted, consistent with the fact that Ocean Alexander is happy to customize its vessels to each owner's desires (even up to moving some bulkheads). I believe the resulting open floorplan would both enhance interior volume and prove more functional, and you could even add a pass-through to the saloon from the galley.
On the other hand, I have no criticism of the 83's accommodation spaces; they're spot-on for a large cruising family. From her full-beam master aft, complete with his-and-her heads, to the mirrored port and starboard guest staterooms (both of which have 31-inch-wide, six-foot-long, side-by-side berths), she's setup for serious voyaging. Her forepeak VIP is well-appointed and bright thanks to two 11.5-inch-wide portholes and a Bomar hatch over its queen-size step-up berth. The crew quarters, adjacent to the engine room, sport two single berths beneath which are the optional Seakeeper gyros.
My Ocean Alexander 83 certainly proved her mettle on test day. Her handling was solid in a seaway, and she offered a good turn of speed when conditions permitted. Add to this her substantial range when her engines are dialed back and enough living space for a big family and crew, and you have a boat that is about as close to a total package in this size range as you're likely to find. If all this sounds enticing, I suggest a sea trial in late January or early February when a nice northeaster is kicking up and the skies are slate gray. Because even under a dark sky, the 83 shines bright.
Ocean Alexander (886) 783-4126.
Staying Sure-footed At Sea
The sea state may have deteriorated throughout the morning of our boat test, but our four-man crew stayed on its feet thanks to the prodigious torque produced by two optional Seakeeper M7000 gyros. (A larger version called the 21000 is also available.) Measuring 31.4"Lx8.7"Wx26.4"D, the units, which were located under the vessel's crew berths aft of the engine room, spin at 10000 rpm within a virtual vacuum, creating enough righting force to significantly reduce roll, even on a boat of this size. I could actually feel the boat stop rolling as the gyros, which take about 45 minutes to spool up to their rated rpm, took hold. And unlike traditional fin-type stabilizers, there's no underwater appendages to add drag or snag nets. Moreover, Seakeepers are equally effective whether you're underway or on the hook.

Obama pushes preschool plan, won't discuss cost
DECATUR, Ga. Raising hopes among parents who want preschool for all, President Barack Obama on Thursday rolled out a plan to vastly expand government-funded early childhood while keeping the price tag a secret.
Republicans, wary of high costs and questionable outcomes, made clear they have no intention of signing a blank check.
Setting up yet another clash with Republicans over spending and the proper scope of government, Obama in his State of the Union address proposed working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every American child. Two days later, he played blocks and gave fist-bumps to kids in a preschool classroom at the College Heights Early Childhood Learning Center in Decatur, casting the plan as part of a moral imperative to give every child a shot at success.
"The size of your paycheck shouldn't determine your child's future," Obama told about 600 teachers and parents at the Decatur Community Recreation Center, singling out Georgia as a model for making universal preschool a priority. "Let's fix this. Let's make sure none of our kids start out the race of life already a step behind."
The White House offered the first details about Obama's plan Thursday, describing it as a "continuum of high-quality early learning for a child, beginning at birth and continuing to age 5." The government would fund public preschool for any 4-year-old whose family income is 200 percent or less of the federal poverty level - a more generous threshold than the current Head Start program, which generally serves kids from families below 130 percent of the poverty line. All 50 states and the federal government would chip in.
Obama also proposed letting communities and child care providers compete for grants to serve children 3 and younger, starting from birth. And once a state has established its program for 4-year-olds, it can use funds from the program to offer full-day kindergarten, the plan says.
Conspicuously absent from Obama's plan were any details about the cost, a key concern among Republicans. Obama's aides have insisted the new programs would not add to the nation's nearly $16.5 trillion debt, but they won't say what else will be cut to offset the cost, offering only vague allusions to cutting entitlement spending and closing loopholes.
In a conference call with reporters Thursday, two of Obama's top policy aides declined five times to explain how much the program would cost.
"Details on that will be released with the president releases his budget in the coming weeks," said Roberto Rodriguez, the White House's top education adviser. When asked again about the costs, officials went silent before a press aide joked: "Great, we'll take the next one."
The price tag for expanding preschool to more than 4 million 4-year-olds is potentially staggering. For instance, the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration, proposed a $10,000-a-child match to what states spend. That effort could cost tax payers almost $100 billion over 10 years.
Democrats and Republicans have already gridlocked over where to find $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade mandated by the so-called sequester; it's difficult to imagine they could reach consensus on those cuts plus agree on further cuts to offset expanded preschool.
In fact, the sequester cuts themselves could devastate current pre-kindergarten programs, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Thursday, if Congress doesn't find a way out by March 1, the date the cuts kick in. "Doing that to our most vulnerable children is education malpractice, economically foolish and morally indefensible," he told senators on Capitol Hill.
Weary of proposals by Obama they say blow up the cost and reach of federal government and still licking their wounds from November's election, Republicans are in no rush to sign off on Obama's preschool plan or any of a number of other initiatives he pitched in his address on Tuesday.

Testimony :: Congressman Christopher H. Smith
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
About a year and a half ago, Nicolae Gheorghe, who will testify before us today, was physically thrown out of a Warsaw restaurant. He had gone there in response to a report that Roma were being excluded from the establishment solely on the basis of their ethnicity and, as he personally discovered, the report was all too true. Adding insult to injury, Poland's Ambassador to the OSCE later defended this mistreatment, asserting it was a legitimate "public order" measure.
While there continue to be many improvements for Roma, Mr. Gheorghe's experience at that Warsaw restaurant demonstrates that there continue to be many injustices.
As yesterday, April 8, was marked in many countries around the world as "International Roma Day," it is particularly fitting that we have this hearing at this time.
We welcome the opportunity to hear today about the OSCE's activities in this area. The Commission has held a number of hearings where we have been fortunate enough to have OSCE Heads of Mission or other OSCE officials participate, including the Chairman-in-Office last year, and each of these opportunities helps us greatly in understanding the challenges faced by the OSCE community as a whole.
This is also the third Helsinki Commission hearing focusing on Romani human rights issues and, with it, we hope to move from the general to the specific. Ms. Petrova will discuss the different kinds of barriers to education that Roma face and Mr. Russinov will discuss the situation in Bulgaria in particular, including a very encouraging model program in the town of Viden. We will hear an additional perspective on the situation in Bulgaria from the Ambassador of Bulgaria to the United States.

Maryland Unemployment Insurance Announces New Procedures for Employer Contribution Reports
A cost-saving, environmentally friendly initiative
BALTIMORE, MD (August 27, 2012) – The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) Division of Unemployment Insurance (UI) today announced new procedures for employer contribution reports. Employers in Maryland are required to report their payroll and pay unemployment insurance taxes on their Quarterly Contribution Report. As a cost-saving and environmentally friendly initiative, UI will no longer mail paper Quarterly Contribution Reports to employers who file their report electronically or use a payroll service. The new procedure will take effect for the 2012 third quarter reports. The Division of Unemployment Insurance will continue to mail a paper Quarterly Contribution Report to employers who file the report by paper. DLLR will mail a postcard to all employers in late August notifying them of the new procedures.
"Our goal is to eliminate paper filing of the quarterly UI tax return altogether," said Julie Ellen Squire, Assistant Secretary for the Division of Unemployment Insurance. "We're streamlining the unemployment insurance reporting process for Maryland businesses, while we're doing our part to be as green as possible."
The UI Contributions Division estimates that 35 percent of employers file the report by paper and 65 percent of employers use a payroll service or file electronically. By mailing the Contribution Report to only the employers who file the report by paper, DLLR will reduce the number of paper mailings to about 50,000 employers each quarter. This will be a considerable cost saving initiative.
Employers who file the report by paper are encouraged to use the Web Tax Application via the Internet. The electronic filing method is an easier and safer way to submit the report. The electronic submission of this form will eventually be mandatory for employers.
In the future, DLLR anticipates that other contribution forms like the Benefit Charge Statement and the Tax Rate Notice will follow a similar process. An e-mail alert or another notification method will be developed before the elimination of the mailing of these paper reports.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

Hittin' the road
The Boys in Blue left K.C. yesterday afternoon and square off against the White Sox. Brian Bannister is on the mound tonight to start the three game set.
When the Royals leave Chicago after Thursday's day game, they will have played the Sox 12 times in 38 days. During those that time, the Royals have played a total of 10 series (four against the White Sox) and had a four-day break for the All-Star festivities..
These two teams are getting to know each other well (and they may not like what they're finding out?), but have just one matchup left after this week (Chicago comes to town September 19-21). To take a look at the next Sox series and the nine-game, three-city road trip the series starts, let's go Around the Horn…
The 28-game stretch against .500 clubs that started on July 18 has just two stops and six games left (three against the White Sox and three with the Yankees over the weekend). Despite the tough schedule, the Royals have come away with a respectable 11-11 record.
The Royals can still do some damage in their final two series and despite their position in playoff hunt, they can play spoiler. The Sox are tied in the loss column with the Twins and are a half game back from the division leaders. The Sox, who have controlled the Wild Card and the Central Division at times this season, are two games off Boston's pace in the race for the final American League playoff spot.
Meanwhile New York had started surging to make a push for the A.L. East, but have now lost four in a row and sit nine games back from first-place Tampa Bay. The Yankees are five back in the Wild Card standings. Time is of the essence for them.
As for the Boys in Blue, we had a good run in each city last time we were there. The Royals split with the Yankees back in early June (and could have had at least one more), creeping back into the final game and slapping future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera a loss, thanks to homers by Miguel Olivo and a game-winner from Jose Guillen. In fact, Guillen blistered the Yankees with four homers, 10 RBI, two doubles and a .563 average over the four games.
Billy Butler was the story last time the Royals were in the Windy City. Butler helped lead the Royals to a 2-1 series win, homering twice and knocking in seven with a .386 average.
It's tough to know what the Royals will get in either town. Both teams have been riddled with injuries lately. The most notable losses for the two were starters Jose Contreras (White Sox, out with a ruptured left Achilles' tendon) and Joba Chamberlain (Yankees, out with rotator cuff tendinitis in his pitching shoulder). Both teams are trying to cope with their losses while trying to stay in the playoff picture.
Around the Horn needs to clean up a few loose ends we've neglected the last few days on the pitching side of things. If you haven't heard, Zack Greinke dropped his appeal. He began serving his suspension (five games for hitting Nick Swisher after a bench clearing incident versus the White Sox) on Sunday and is scheduled to miss his start on Friday. He will be pushed back one day and start Saturday's day game in New York.
The Royals also traded Horacio Ramirez to the White Sox late Saturday night. In return, the Royals got outfielder Paulo Orlando. Orlando was playing for the Carolina League Winston-Salem Warthogs (the Sox' Class A Advanced affiliate). Last night he made his Wilmington debut and went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple against his former mates. The Brazilian native is the Carolina League's leader in triples and he upped the speed quotient of the Blue Rocks.
You might remember Around the Horn posting a while back about the Runnin' Rocks. Well, Orlando just adds more speed to their lineup. Derrick Robinson leads the Carolina League with 55 steals, followed by teammate Jarrod Dyson with 37 swipes and in third is Orlando with 28. Wilmington has six of the top eight base stealers in the Carolina and six of the top eight triples hitters as well.
Wilmington's amazing speed doesn't end there. Their 47 triples are 12 more than second place Winston-Salem and their 233 stolen bases are 82 ahead of the Warthogs.
The Royals are riding a five-game winning streak on the road and start a nine-game road trip tonight…Mike Aviles has 23 multi-hitters in 55 career games (42 percent of his games)…Lefty Josh Newman was called up Sunday to replace the traded Horacio Ramirez. Newman is wearing No. 63…Tony Pena broke a 0-for-17 slide with his two hits on Sunday…Pena is one of four players to enter a game as a pinch runner this season and deliver a walk-off winner…Joakim Soria tied a career high with four strikeouts in a single outing.
We have some housekeeping of our own to do here at Around the Horn. The long-awaited renovations update is coming as is our Clubhouse photos sneak peak. The media relations staff held a hard hat tour yesterday of the stadium, so we've got plenty of material. And as for the sneak peak, the pictures are taking a little longer to edit than we'd hoped (plus the Olympics are distracting!).
Speaking of the Olympics, have you guys been watching? We have. We've been watching Team USA basketball rolling and seen Michael Phelps break three world records already. We're also excited for USA baseball to start tomorrow (TV schedule). Unfortunately the Royals don't have anybody on this version of team USA or any of the other Olympic teams, though we have in the past. In fact, pitchers Neal Musser and Matt Wright, who are with Triple-A Omaha right now, were members USA Baseball team which won the gold medal over Chinese Taipei during the 2007 World Cup. And Billy Butler helped the USA in a qualifying tournament following the 2006 season.
One final note: The Royals have put together a new ticket package which sells for $40 and includes four View Level tickets (valued at $15 a piece) and a $20 QuikTrip card. The card can be used on gas or merchandise and the retail value of the entire package is $80, but you only pay $40. Is there anything better than getting a deal on both baseball AND gas?
We'll have a lineup for you later.

Hi all,
I'm in alot of trouble now. I know now what I did wrong but I don't know how to fix it so I need help.
I wanted to test my zimbra install on an other server so I restored a backup copy of it on to that other server and I followed these instructions : ZmSetServerName - Zimbra :: Wiki.
But there is one thing that I misread... I did not prevent the second server from accessing the prod server so when it modified the ldap config data, it modified it on the prod server instead.
So now, some services are not working anymore.
So like I said, I know what apened but IM having a hard time finding the method to correct in ldap what was modified by the script Zmsetservername.
I'm not to used with using zmprov.
Can anyone help me?

Department of Political Science Home > Graduate Programs > Master of Arts in Political Science
The M.A. is a 30 hour program. Students who enter the accelerated B.A./M.A. program take six of these hours (two graduate classes) in their senior year that count toward both the B.A. and M.A. requirements. Students may choose to specialize in American Politics (two different tracks), Public Policy, International Affairs (three tracks), Gender and Politics, or Political Theory:
American Politics concentration. Students can choose from a general American politics track that is appropriate for many students, including those interested in further academic study of American politics, and and more focused track in Public Law.
Public Policy track. The Public Policy track is designed for students interested in gaining a practical understanding of how political and social policies are developed.
International Affairs concentration. Students can choose from a general International Affairs track, a track that focuses on Security and Cooperation, and a Foreign Service track.
Gender and Politics concentration. This concentration explores the social and political ramifications of gender in U.S. and world politics.
Political Theory concentration. This concentration provides substantive grounding in the history of Western political thought, as well as the opportunity to explore issues in contemporary political theory and philosophy.
Each student works out a curriculum plan for his or her area of concentration in consultation with the student's mentor and the Director of Graduate Studies. Students may elect to take some of their coursework in a cognate field. All students must pass a field exam in the beginning of the final semester of coursework.
