Oh, What a Better Web We Need
Once upon a time, Customer needed to test the interoperability of hardware, software, operating systems and customer solution stacks for new product releases. Customer needed to coordinate multiple global teams working on an abundance of machines. With thousands of operating system instances in test, Customer faced an enormous management challenge. Growth over time resulted in homegrown tools from many teams that did not interoperate, making data collection difficult. Visibility into tasks assigned to global teams was limited, and often resulted in duplicate testing and lost productivity. In addition to standardizing tools and improving workload tracking and visibility, Customer sought to automate as many repetitive processes as possible, improving productivity and freeing up engineers for more complex testing work.
Integrated Service Management to the Rescue!
The solution for Customer included a RaTivo integration of Rational Quality Manager (RQM) and Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM) to allow automatic provision of test machines with the required test configuration, saving Customer manual work and time from request to provision. Additionally, Customer applied Rational Test Lab Manager and Tivoli Application Discovery and Dependency Manager (TADDM) to discover available test lab machines and display the list in RQM, saving Customer test time as all the information is displayed one tool.
All's Well that Ends Well
You can't argue with these results. Customer directly benefited from Integrated Service Management by:
- Eliminating an estimated 20 percent of testing duplication
Increasing visibility and automation allows better allocation of shared equipment, reducing hardware requests
- Locating available test machines for testing without the need to learn a new tool or collaborate with the operation teams.
- Automating provisioning of new test configurations on available machines, speeding the test cycle.
- Enabling managers to pull their own custom reports, thereby improving visibility and coordination.

GLEN DALE - The Buckeye Local softball team didn't do much wrong Thursday against John Marshall. Sure, the Panthers walked six batters and allowed 10 hits, but it wasn't as though the Monarchs were tearing the cover off the ball.
John Marshall, though, can beat teams in myriad of ways, and it showed another of those in an 8-0, five-inning victory against the Panthers (4-5).
Of the 10 hits for the Monarchs (17-3), all but one were singles. But John Marshall stole five bases and the top two hitters in the lineup - Kristin Lewicki and Jackie Gellner - were on base all eight times they came to bat.

John Marshall's Kristin Lewicki (7) slides into second for a successful steal, while Buckeye Local's Lauren Swiger (6) is late with the tag during their game Thursday.
''They're a great team and we knew what they were going back to last year,'' Panthers coach Joe Soos said. ''But we like challenges. If you're going to be the best, you've got to play the best.
''They hit the ball, they make the plays and they have great pitching, which is why they've won 45 of 50 or whatever it is.''
The Monarchs find different ways to get it done offensively, but the one constant has been ace left-hander Amy Rotriga, who was on her game again in the circle. The senior struck out nine and allowed one hit in four innings of work before giving way to freshman Alyssa Blake, who fanned two in her lone inning.
''She was a little upset with herself because she didn't think she threw very well,'' JM coach Ed West said of Rotriga. ''Half the time our defense doesn't even have to do anything because she just sets them down.
''For the whole season she's been really sharp - as good as I've ever seen her.''
John Marshall did leave 11 runners on base, yet scored at least one run in every inning, anyway. The Monarchs got two in the first on a Kylie Howard single and a Hannah Rogerson groundout, then tacked on another in the second as Morgan Watson brought Alexa Jones home with a sacrifice fly.
JM added another in the third as Watson doubled home a run, then Jones singled in a run in the fourth to make it 7-0. The Monarchs put it away in the bottom of the fifth as Sissy George punched a ball through the left side of the infield to score Lewicki.
''Sometimes they help us and sometimes we manufacture some runs just by putting it in play and using our speed,'' West said. ''Gellner has got really good speed and she's an all-around ball player.
''She's a good bunter and she's been getting on base.''
The Panthers had three hits - singles by Lauren Swiger in the fourth and a pair by Becky and Rachel Zeroski in the fifth - but could not get a run home.
''They have the better team. There's no doubt about it,'' Soos said.

It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology texts and into his life. Percy has learned that his real father is Poseidon, god of the sea, which means Percy is a demigod - half human, half god. At the same time, the powerful gods on Olympus are feuding, which could launch a war enveloping our entire planet. Now, Percy must prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, and the stakes couldn't be higher. With ominous storm clouds brewing over Earth and his own life now in peril, Percy travels to a special enclave called Camp H... Full Summary >>

6JSC/LC/15 Reorganization of instruction on saints in 220.127.116.11

General comments
1. Similar paragraph "Do not include the term Saint as part of the name of a canonized person known by a title of nobility. Record the term as a designation associated with the person (see 18.104.22.168). Record as a variant name a form using the surname as the first element (see 188.8.131.52), unless the proper name in the title is the same as the surname"
has also been added to 188.8.131.52 General Guidelines on Recording Names Containing a Title of Nobility.
If a new instruction number 18.104.22.168.1 is to be created to make it easier to find it, should another instruction number – 22.214.171.124.1 also be created, for consistency in the section?
2. It seems to me that this proposal intends to improve readability and logical structure of the section. It says: "it is difficult to find these instructions because they are contained in RDA 18.104.22.168 … rather than having a separate instruction number".
The entire 184.108.40.206 consists of only four short paragraphs (the paragraph on saints is the fourth one). What purpose a separate instruction number will serve here? Will it really help to find instruction on recording the term Saint? If somebody is reading this section, it is short enough to see the last part on saints.
My understanding is that RDA in Toolkit is not meant to be read linearly, but rather desired terms are searched in entire document, resulting in the exhaustive list of citations where the terms occur, and saving time from reading lengthy unrelated materials.
I wonder if having a separate section will change the ranking order of results when doing general search in RDA Toolkit. Whether words that are part of RDA sections' etc., headings usually given preference over the same words in the body of the section? If so, does this mean that RDA text should have more headings? Probably not....
3. The wording in the paragraph in question does not start with an instruction how to record names, but rather, because of its negative imperative "Do not include the term Saint…" could be interpreted as a warning against unwelcome action, and semantically is still connected with the rest of the section. If it will be part of a separate instruction, I think it should be re-worded so it reads as independent statement.
Larisa Walsh, CC:DA (Sept. 4, 2012)
I agree with Larisa's point #1. If there's a need to break out the Saints instruction in 18.104.22.168, this should also be applied to 22.214.171.124.
As to point #3, the proposed wording mirrors what's already in RDA as 126.96.36.199.6. If we think this instruction should be phrased differently, it would need to apply to this instruction(and to 18.104.22.168 as well). In addition, if we want improved phrasing, it would be best for the ALA response to include our specific suggestion.
-- Glennan (PCC), 9/6/12
1. I agree with Larisa and Kathy that if we determine a new section is required in 22.214.171.124 that a new subsection for Saints in 184.108.40.206 should be created (i.e., 184.108.40.206.1 Saints).
2. I think the purpose is for display/visual navigation. If you use the sidebar in the Toolkit to expand sections, the "difficulty" in finding the Saints instruction in 184.108.40.206--as opposed to the Saints instruction under 188.8.131.52--is that there is no section "header" for the Saints instruction. I can see LC's point that this would be nice to have for this type of RDA navigation.
I can't speak as to how it would affect search results--except that neither 188.8.131.52 nor 22.214.171.124 is a search result when searching for "Saints," since the current instruction does not include the plural form of the noun (and the new subsection would because of its title). It does seem that words in the section titles rank higher in relevancy results--currently, 126.96.36.199 and 184.108.40.206 rank on the second page of results for a search for "saint," whereas 188.8.131.52 and 184.108.40.206.6 are in the top 5.
So I like the the proposal and agree that we counter-propose the addition to 184.108.40.206.

Nice rug, but not light blue more of a greenish blue and darker than shown onling.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
I purchased the sage 8.5x11.5 rug and 8' runner. Both rugs are beautiful and I am pleased. However, the sage green field of the two pieces does not match - the dye lots of the yarn used were clearly not the same. The sage in the runner is very slightly more yellowish than the larger rug. This wasn't a problem for me but thought I should mention it.RECOMMENDED: Yes!

Hot "Halloween" Dog!
Not only did a trio of coworkers get into the Halloween spirit by sporting costumes Wednesday, but they also showed their love for the Royals by reenacting a popular Kauffman Stadium event.
Royals fans Dion "Ketchup" Reihs, Penny "Mustard" Correa and Laurette "Relish" Rutter put together their own Hot Dog Derby racer costumes for their office's Halloween party.
But, the fun didn't stop with trick or treating around the cubicles or loading up on iced cupcakes. The three set up their own Hot Dog Derby down an office hallway during the office lunch party. Apparently, Ketchup won the Halloween edition of the race!
Thanks, Dion, Penny and Laurette, for sending your pictures in!

2012 Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals - Part 1Written by on January 15, 2014 Contributors: Thomas A. DeMauro The Car Show
If your idea of a perfect time is Pontiacs, Pontiacs, and more Pontiacs, there was only one place to be on August 3-5, 2012, and that was the 21st annual Ames Performance Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
As in past years, promoters Pete and Andrea Woodruff brought together one of the Pontiac hobby's biggest summertime events. Let's start with the numbers. A total of 918 race and show cars participated, and 11,000-plus spectators walked through the gate.
"The show also featured the largest swap meet in the event's history," Pete says. "There were 197 vendors–that's up 15 from 2011—set up on 377 spaces, which is up 50 from the previous year. The swap meet has always been a significant component of our event, and we are very proud to see it grow into the largest Pontiac swap meet in the country!"
Beginning on Friday, August 3, and throughout the next day, the Summit Motorsports' west field filled with Pontiacs of myriad years, models, colors, and styles. Two Pontiac organizations also held outings there: The Little Indians Chapter of POCI, which lives and breathes '61-'63 Tempests and LeMans; and the Firehawk Association of America, which celebrates Street Legal Performance's (SLP) hopped-up Third- and Fourth-Gen Formula and Trans Am (and G8 Firehawk) performance cars.
High Performance Pontiac magazine hosted Pontiacs On Parade for the second year running. Editor Tom DeMauro says, "This display-only portion of the event has proven popular once again, as even more high-quality Pontiacs filled the row along the back fence, and even extended to a second row at the end of the show field. Pontiacs On Parade offers a low-pressure way for participants to show off their rides, and HPP is happy to sponsor it."
Traditionally the Pontiac Nationals holds one or more special events, which makes it unique from the year before and the year to come. For 2012, it was a celebration of Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick's six decades in drag racing! There were former Beswick race cars on display, and he kept busy all three days signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans. (We'll show you the original and re-created Beswick race cars that attended in Part 2 of our Pontiac Nationals coverage, in the next issue.)
Celebrities were on hand too, like Pontiac ad-man Jim Wangers, PHS-Online's Jim Mattison, and '66 Knafel Pontiac "Tin Indian" GTO-owner Merle Green and legendary racer Arlen Vanke.
On Saturday night, Ames Performance hosted the Ames Hospitality buffet, and over 900 showgoers chowed down on all-you-can-eat half-pound hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, desserts, and refreshments.
At the buffet, guests received a raffle ticket in five colors. Ames owner Kevin Beal explains: "I pick one of the five colors, and every paid show-entrant with that colored raffle ticket gets his or her entry fee refunded. For some, that can be as much as $65 back in their pockets."
Ames also awarded grand prizes to nine lucky guests, who then each chose one of 15 special items in Ames' retail catalog to call his or her own. "Our goal is to give back to the Pontiac hobby," Beal continues. "They've supported us throughout the year, and our Saturday night dinner—make that the whole Ames Performance three-day-weekend for that matter—is our way of saying, "Thank you, everybody."
Sunday's car show was short lived, as early-morning heavy rains turned the event into a soggy swampland, sending many Pontiacs back to their trailers and car covers. "Because of the number of cars within a two-hour drive of Norwalk, the rain also forced folks who had planned to drive to the event on the last day to change their plans and not join us," Pete Woodruff says.
At approximately 3 p.m. on Sunday, the Woodruff's handed out over 125 trophies, including five Ames Performance Best In Class awards, and First through Third Place accolades in 60-plus classes.
"We feel really good about where this event is right now," Pete Woodruff concludes. "Its size and scope is unparalleled, the social aspect is huge, and attendance figures are solid and steadfast."
Next month, High Performance Pontiac will continue our coverage of the 2012 Pontiac Nationals with a look at the drag-race portion of the program and Arnie's race cars.
The 22nd Annual Pontiac Nationals are scheduled for August 2-4, 2013. For more info, visit www.pontiacnationals.com.

text: By Becky NeeleyKeith County News Shanel Regier has known since grade school that she wanted to be an artist. Art was her favorite subject, even into high school when she was under the tutelage of Susan Hanson, the art teacher at Wheatland High. Regier, the daughter of Dori Regier of Imperial, and Phil and Cindy Regier of Ogallala, graduated from Wheatland in 1999 and chose to pursue her art career by attending the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. "I wanted to go to a college that focused on arts and I also wanted to live in a city. I applied to Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee. Milwaukee gave me a decent scholarship, so I decided to go there," Regier said. Regier studied sculpture, but it wasn't until her senior year at MIAD that she found what would become her career: clothing design, or as Regier refers to it, "wearable art." In 2005, Regier opened her own clothing design studio in a commercial and residential loft space of an old building. As she had majored in sculpture, she was not formally trained in clothing design. This fact may have made it difficult to be hired by a company, so starting her own business was the logical choice for Regier. "I am self-taught; I learned through trial and error. If you want to pursue a career in fashion design and want to work for a design company or label other than yourself, you will need to take the appropriate fashion class-es in college," Regier said. "If you are interested in working for yourself, you may not need to take classes or get a degree in fashion design, but I would encourage you (aspiring clothing designers) to teach yourself as much as you can through practice, reading, internships or apprenticing." Marsha Lee, a high school friend of Regier's, also is pursuing a career in fashion design. Lee studied at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and was hired by clothing companies in Oregon and New York City, an accomplishment made possible by her formal training. Regier and Lee are now in the same industry, but took different paths to get there. "I had not planned on making this my career, but the right opportunities and support came along and I decided to see where this would lead me," Regier said. Regier's line, which features a vintage feel, begins with the fabric. Regier considers how the fabric will handle, drape and sew, what sort of feel the fabric will lend to the finished piece, who would wear the piece and where. "I really enjoy finding a great fabric and then designing the right dress or garment for that fabric," Regier said. "I have always been interested in historical costume, as well as vintage clothing." Bridal gowns, bridal party dresses, mother's dresses, as well as casual pieces round out Regier's line, and each piece is one-of-a-kind, as she sews every piece by hand. On Oct. 6, Regier will host a fashion show at Ogallala, and will highlight local models instead of the usual professional models from her other fashion shows. "I was hesitant to come back and do a show; I have not spent much time in the community since I left in 1999 and really didn't know what the interest level of people back home would be. But, my father, who has traveled to many of my shows in Milwaukee and Chicago, has always had such a great time attending that he thought it would be a great experience for people back home," Regier said. In addition to Regier's show, a 4-H fashion show will be held to highlight young aspiring fashion designers in the community. "We all agreed that it is important to get young people interested in sewing and creating. I have found sewing and designing to be a very rewarding experience and have found that it has made me more of a well-rounded person. Sewing and designing requires patience, problem-solving, creativity and imagination, three-dimensional understanding and math, a subject I always hated in school, but I now use math in every project and design," Regier said. She added that aspiring clothing designers need to start early and practice. "Sew as much as you can, because the hands-on experience is crucial." As Regier's current schedule is "quite hectic," her stepmother Cindy Regier, her father and Julie Peterson of the Silver Thimble have aided her by organizing and planning the event to make the local girl's homecoming possible. The show begins at 7 p.m. in the Ogallala High School Lecture Hall. Tickets can be purchased in advance in the Silver Thimble, Adams Bank and Trust, Pinnacle Bank and The Clothing Closet, or at the door. For more information, contact Peterson at (308) 284-6838.

"Shrill electronics pierce the air, proclaiming dominant attributes drenched with pastoral mien. Sweeping tonalities burble and shimmer, capturing life-giving sunlight in a manner that communicates this vibrancy even in the dark. Nimble-fingered keyboards establish robust melodies that strain to escape the very notes comprising them, bursting forth to generate fresh tunes radiant with bigger-than-life connotations. Prodigious rhythms are present too, lifting the music to dizzying altitudes. The percussion describes mammoth tempos that tremble the ground underfoot. Even when exploring such harsh sonic terrain, though, a tender majesty is zestfully evoked. One track utilizes an array of orchestral instruments (albeit synthetically produced). Magnificent horns and sultry violins blend with regal electronics and heavenly textures, conjuring an alluvial state that defies time and space with its enduring qualities. The sinuous union of these enormous elements is a superb thrill to behold, conveying the listener to a garden of divine scale where each glistening leaf pulsates with wonder and astounding harmony. As the music progresses, one's focus grows larger, expanding to discern greater configurations and embrace the ageless splendor that surrounds us."

Don't worry though, we have a lot more 27.5" Mountain Bike Wheels - Tubeless in stock than that.View Similar Products
Industry Nine Trail Carbon 24H 27.5in Wheelset $0.00
Ideal for XC riders looking to capitalize on the mid-size platform, Industry Nine's Trail Carbon 24H 27.5in Wheelset reduces its spoke count and opts for a 2:1 lacing pattern over its three-cross, 32-hole counterpart. The big news, however, is that carbon is finally joining I9's aluminum disco.
These aren't just any run-of-the-mill epoxy and fiber-reinforced rings. Instead, Industry 9 enlisted help from the composite wizards at Reynolds Cycling. This means that these 29mm-wide outer, and 21mm inner, tubeless rims have Reynolds' encompassing MR5 technology. It focuses on five key elements -- spoke face, nipple bed, tire channel, rim sidewall, and hook bead -- in order to optimize resin chemistry and carbon layup for the structural and loads of each component. Long story short, this technology mated to I9's deft spoke and hub interface is a force to be reckoned with.
Instead of steel spokes, I9's wheels use 7075 aluminum. The spokes are straight pull, and they have roughly a 25% greater cross section then comparable 14/15 double butted steel spokes. In other words, these spokes have a stronger tensile strength. Also, on traditional spokes, threads are rolled, not cut. This adds to strength, but creates a stress riser where the thread channel is narrower than the diameter of spoke itself.
Industry Nine, however, doesn't need to roll its threads. Instead, they're created during the machining process, but cut so that the thread channel is the same as the spokes diameter. The threads themselves are actually larger than the spoke for a strong interface with the hub. That brings to light another defining feature of these wheels -- there are no nipples.
The spokes thread directly into hub, making nipples as useful on I9 wheels as they are on male mammals. The spokes also use a standard 15-gauge wrench and conventional truing methods in order to service. The Torch hubs that these spokes thread into are a fresh redesign of the groundbreaking Industry 9 hubs.
Accordingly, Industry Nine's new Torch hubs feature two sets of three pawls phased three degrees from each other. This preserves the 120 points of contact and lightning-quick three degrees engagement that distinguished Industry Nine, only now, the pawls have two teeth instead of three. Along with that, a changed cantilever angle and shallower tooth profile on the hardened drive ring reduce drag for a less-restricted freehub. Remarkably, it has the same holding power. And, that's not all that I9 did to improve the Torch.
Its engineers removed the large bearing between the freehub body and shell, opting for smaller bearings directly between the body and shell. The reduced bearing size means less seal surface area that, along with a new silicone lip design, significantly reduces mechanical drag. The freehub is also now easier to remove for cleaning/lubing, and like before, the springs and pawls are captured. So, you won't be scrambling on a floor looking for small parts.
The Industry Nine Trail Carbon 24H 27.5in wheelset is available with a 15mm front and 142x12mm rear thru-axle compatibility. With end caps that are available separately, however, they're able to be converted to fit 20, 135, and 100mm standards. This wheelset is also tubeless-ready and comes in the color Black.

Very nice! I'd suggest either going with a stronger grid than you have or removing it altogether. As it stands it's just a bit too faint to be useful. Also, I'd suggest that you don't have the walls casting a shadow onto the top of the doors - it makes it look like the doors are painted on to the floor rather than rising up from the floor. Note that most VTTs can lay down a grid so it is not really necessary to have a grid at all if this is meant for VTT play.
It might also be nice to have the water as a transparent fill, rather than the opaque fill you've got there. You'd need to extend the floor texture under the area the water covers (if you haven't already). Then see what it looks like if you switch the water layer mode to hard light or soft light. Try duplicating the water layer and having one as a hard or soft light layer, and the other as a normal layer with low opacity.
That's a very usable map, and a great first shot with Gimp. Is there anything you would like to do differently about this map?

About ResMed
ResMed: Residential School on Medicinal Chemistry and Biology in Drug Discovery is a week-long graduate level course organized to provide an accelerated program for medicinal chemists, biologists and other industrial and academic scientists who wish to broaden their knowledge of drug discovery and development. The School's aim is to concentrate on the fundamentals that are useful in drug discovery spanning initial target validation through clinical development.
Most chemists and biologists have received little formal training in the range of subjects required for drug discovery. These topics include target selection, assay development, initial identification of active "hit" compounds, development of structure-activity relationships, lead optimization, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, metabolism, toxicology and clinical development.
Although drug discovery is an interdisciplinary subject, the course is more than a simple compendium of information. It will concentrate on the fundamental issues common to a wide range of therapeutic areas. The purpose of the School is to impart the basic principles needed by both chemists and biologists to pursue successful collaborative drug discovery programs.
The week-long course is structured around lectures and case histories that illustrate the discovery and development of recent successful drug discovery programs. There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussions with faculty members. The School not only provides an atmosphere of learning and understanding but also the opportunity to establish contacts with colleagues from many different organizations, which is an important component of a successful career in drug discovery. The ResMed Faculty is comprised of distinguished scientists from industry and academia with years of experience and success in drug discovery and development.

SAN FRANCISCO – Candlestick Park, known for its bone-numbing winds, the "Catch" and the earthquake-rocked 1989 World Series is officially closing after more than a half century of hosting sporting and cultural events. In a bow to historical symmetry, the Stick's finale will be a performance Thursday by Paul McCartney, 48 years after the Beatles' last scheduled concert lit up the venue.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee personally invited McCartney to close out the 54-year-old Candlestick Park last year. The concert will mark the last event to be held at the stadium, that was once home to the city's baseball's Giants and football's 49ers, before it is demolished. Here is a look back on some of Candlestick Park's most memorable moments.

Sunseeker Predator 108By Capt. Bill Pike
The day began plainly enough. I met for coffee with Sunseeker's Hannah Braithwaite-Smith at the British builder's Pompano Beach outpost, Sunseeker USA. We started with the usual pleasantries, and soon transitioned into some generalities about the Sunseeker Predator 108, the big, Arneson drive-powered, performance-type motoryacht I'd soon be sea trialing in the nearby Atlantic. We talked about how the vessel was built to Italian classification society RINA's 100 A-1 specifications, how she's available in twin straight-inboard and triple-Arneson versions, and how there are two basic layouts.
Ultimately though, Braithwaite-Smith tossed a rather tantalizing comment. "The boat is rather fast, you know," she said mildly, while pouring me a second cup.
I gave her an inquisitorial look. "Oh," she responded, again quite mildly, "I should think we'll see close to 40 knots out there today, which is quite good, actually, for a yacht weighing 84 tons half-load."
Eighty-four tons half-load? Forty knots?
Thanks to both a 50-hp hydraulic bow thruster and a 50-hp stern thruster, the skipper of the 108 had little trouble extracting the big motoryacht from a cramped berth alongside Sunseeker USA's showroom. Traffic wasn't bad en route to Hillsborough Inlet, which was great. I was "eat up with curiosity," as we say in the South.
The ocean was a tad rough when we got there. Seas were short and cresting at four to six feet. I unboxed my Stalker radar gun, calibrated it with a tuning fork, and began recording data that was exciting from the get-go, particularly when you consider the washboardy sea state and the fact that our 6,000-hp powerplant, while undeniably enormous, was the standard, triple-engine Arneson ASD 16 package.
Average top speed? Right in line with what Braithwaite-Smith predicted—44.9 mph or exactly 39 knots. While this figure was certainly heart throbby from the standpoints of both hull form and propulsion engineering, it was mindboggling in terms of actual practice.
Think about it. Eighty-four tons is roughly equivalent to the combined weight of 42 Rolls-Royce Silver Clouds. Imagine what it's like firing up 42 of those babies—simultaneously! While sitting in a comfy Besenzoni helm chair. One hand on a carbon-fiber wheel, the other on a set of MTU electronic engine controls. And accelerating from dead-idle to a velocity of 44.9 mph in just under one blistering minute!
I loved it! Not only were the sensations of raw power and juggernaut poetically intense, the visceral reactions I enjoyed while simply carving turns felt almost transcendental, especially after I'd discovered that the push-button moonroof over my head could be zipped back for a breath of fresh, salty air. Moreover, visibility was excellent. Thanks to the stern lift that the surface-piercing props produce, the running attitudes I measured were steady and superlative. I could see over the bow at all times. And was the ride smooth and dry! When we aimed back towards the inlet, there was hardly a drop of moisture on the windshield.
Of course, even a cursory glance at the fuel-burn numbers I recorded during our sea trial will serve to convince just about anybody that the 108 is not, nor was it designed to be, a practical vessel. And once our captain had returned us to our berth and I'd had some time to poke around, confirmation of this truth was evident just about everywhere. Pure, luxurious fun is the 108's raison d'etre, not parsimionious practicality.
Consider the saloon/helm area. Gorgeous? Sure. Gorgeously finished. But sensible? Ho-hum? No way, Jose! The first time I stepped into the place, the unabashed height of the ceiling amazed me almost as much as the moonroof. Niceties included a dumbwaiter from the galley below; a lofty helm area forward with four identical and convivial Besenzoni helm chairs; a top-shelf Linn home-theater system with hard-disc music library and 42-inch retractable LCD TV; a dining table with place settings for eight; and easy sliding-door access to a BBQ in the cockpit. We're talkin' party-time here, folks. With starlight overhead!
Now consider the accommodation spaces below decks. Niceties here included granite countertops and flooring in each of the four en suite heads; more Linn entertainment equipage; satin cherry joinery throughout; a full galley that adjoins the crew's quarters and communicates with the saloon/dining/helm area above via a dedicated staircase, in addition to the dumbwaiter; and a full-beam, amidships master that won't quit. Whether an owner opts for the "master-stateroom version" of the 108 or our test boat's "master-suite version" (with adjoining lobby), I don't think there's a hotel in the world that can compare for pure, kick-back fun and enjoyment.
And finally, consider the machinery spaces, accessed through a hatch in the cockpit. Let's face it--squeezing three hulking, 2,000-hp MTUs into an engine room that ain't that large is a long haul from practical. More to the point, when I got my first glimpse of our ER, I found it tough to immediately locate major components, there being so many ancillaries (from emergency-engine-shutdown-equipped fans to duplex Racor fuel-water separators) in the way. The reality of the situation is this, however: Owners of such vessels as our 108 buy their boats to enjoy them, not spend time crawling around engine rooms slam-full of machinery.
My take on Braithwaite-Smith's Predator 108? Expansive? Stylish? Finely fitted and finished? Most assuredly on each and every count. But also, that the young Braithwaite-Smith was absolutely right—the 108 is indeed "rather fast," and what's more, she's more fun than a barrel of PMYs.

Miley Cyrus was named MTV's "Artist of the Year."
MTV also said that Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" performance from the MTV VMAs was its most watched video on its sites. The MTV artist site dedicated to Cyrus' career also received the most visits of any artist, according to billboard.com.
Amy Doyle, who is the head of MTV's music and talent programming strategy, discussed MTV's decision.
"She dominated the music charts and critics' best-of lists while creating some of the year's most memorable moments," Doyle said, as per billboard.com.
The "Artist of the Year" selection is made by MTV executives, as per billboard.com. 2012's "Artist of the Year" was an honor bestowed upon One Direction and Katy Perry took the crown in 2011.
This year, Miley Cyrus began rapping. Her work was celebrated by some and criticized by others. Producer Mike WiLL Made-It defended Cyrus' raps following her rhyming appearance on his song "23."
"I look at her like how I do music," Mike WiLL Made-It said in an interview with Complex. "She is a fan of all music, just like I am. A lot of times, older people don't get the new generation. The new generation will listen to a Pop song, a hard-ass hood song, and come back and listen to another Pop song. '23' is a representation of that and for those people. But, for the people that are stuck in only the Hip Hop box or only the Pop box, that song wasn't for them. Or it's there to break them out of their box. The fact that anybody would say anything to her about rapping, the only reason they would say that is because she's White. And I never knew you had to be Black, White, Asian, or whatever to rap, I thought you had to just be talented. With rapping, that's just another form of expressing your music. Whether you're going to rap, you're going to sing, it's whatever you want. She still sings on that song, so it's just another way to express it. It's just a good song. As long as it's good, nothing matters. She does her thing. As far as rapping goes, as long as you are telling the truth and you have a good flow, then you win."
Although Cyrus was defended and praised by Mike WiLL and others, Danny Brown criticized the singer and said her supporters within the Hip Hop community are disingenuous.
"I think anybody doing that just trying to eat," Brown said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "Ain't no nigga worried about their own music worried about her. Kendrick Lamar is not trying to do no song with Miley Cyrus. It's just like this, man. It's like the little White girl in the hood that might get you a plug on some pills or some shit. You gonna be nice to her to get your plug or whatever you need to get. They trying to eat."
MTV's year-end list also features Macklemore & Ryan Lewis at #2, Kanye West at #4 and Drake at #7.

Hammer Nutrition Seat Saver Cream - 2oz $0.00
Although a lot of chamois creams claim to be targeted at keeping your bits protected, they often include petroleum-based oils, and that's like dousing your down-there stuff with motor oil, which just can't be good. By comparison, Hammer Seat Saver Chamois and Anti-Chafing Cream uses only plant-derived oils, natural ingredients such as beeswax, and several oils and agents that can help prevent skin irritation before it starts.
Taking the latter point first, Hammer Seat Saver includes Tea Tree oil, which is often used in anti-dandruff shampoos to prevent dry skin, as well as Yarrow, which has an analgesic effect, like aspirin.
Hammer Seat Saver also stamps out potential bacterial growth, which could infect any saddle sores, with Zinc Oxide. Also important: The main lubricant in Hammer Seat Saver is plant-derived Stearic Acid, also known as cocoa butter.
Hammer Seat Saver Chamois and Anti-Chafing Cream is an ideal lubricant, both for the prevention of saddle sores and to prevent irritation and infection. It is a 100% plant-derived product, and contains soothing herbs such as Lavender, Peppermint and Tea Tree oils. It comes in a 2oz tube.

A new glove that is being used by automobile manufacturers from Ford to GM is meaning new jobs in Winston County.
The gloves were designed and are being made by Choctaw Glove in Noxapater. They're promoted to be the cleanest gloves ever made.
To make the gloves, the company recently opened an expansion of its Noxapater plant, and added 25 jobs. And company officials say more could be on the way by the end of the year.
The gloves are currently being used by Nissan in its training facility in Canton. Company officials hope they will also be used when the Nissan plant officially opens its doors next year. That could mean even more jobs for the company.
Choctaw Glove currently employs 133 workers in its new plant. Company officials say that number could jump to 180 by the end of the year.

Freight Management Today: More Freight, Fewer Trucks and Drivers
PLS Logistics Services is one of America's largest freight brokers and the largest third-party logistics provider to the industrial sector. The company's 8,000 pre-qualified carrier partners give shippers access to 150,000 trucks, including the largest network of flatbeds in North America.
May 02, 2011
The numbers don't lie. The economy is returning to pre-recession levels and freight volumes are rising. At the same time, carrier failures, fleet reductions, and the ongoing exodus of drivers from the industry have drained the freight market of much of its capacity. This combination of rising demand and diminished capacity is creating a dangerous imbalance to which shippers have been slow to respond.
The risk is greatest for small and mid-sized companies, who lack the leverage to ensure available carrier capacity at a reasonable price. But there are steps you can take now to manage freight requirements during the coming capacity crunch to avoid supply chain disruptions and protect your market share.

Bodine Captures Fifth Top-Five of Season at Monster Mile
Posted by: lori on May 18, 2010
Tagged in: Germain Racing
Mooresville, NC (05-17-2010) – Driver Todd Bodine scored his second top-five finish at Dover International Speedway in Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. Bodine started the race in 11th place and spent much of the 204 laps racing among the top-ten. The fifth-place finish kept Bodine second in Truck Series championship standings, just 27 points behind leader and Dover race winner, Aric Almirola.
"We fought handling issues all day. We kept making adjustments and making it easier to drive but not making the Germain.com Tundra faster. Right at the end of the race, coming for the green-white-checkered, I had a problem with vapor lock and lost three spots. For as much as we struggled today, we'll take fifth," said Bodine.
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. and the No. 30 Tundra team of Germain Racing detour to Pocono Raceway before heading to Friday's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
"We have a tire test with Goodyear at Pocono to test tire combinations for the first-ever Truck Series race at Pocono that's coming up in July. Pocono is an exciting race track and it's close to the New York roots that run deep on our race team," said Hillman, who hails from Lockport, NY.
The No. 30 Germain.com Tundra ranks fourth in Truck Series owner's standings and Bodine ranks second in the driver's standings. The next race on the Truck Series schedule is Friday night, May 21st, at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Watch all of the Charlotte action live on SPEED – first practice at 9:00 AM, final practice at 10:20 AM, qualifying at 3:30 PM with racing coverage beginning at 7:30 PM ET. The race will also be broadcast by your local MRN affiliate.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Tuesday's Supreme Court decision voiding a key section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act alarmed a Virginia legislator who was a foot soldier in the civil rights struggle and helped get Virginia covered under the law.
State Sen. Henry Marsh says Congress needs to update and reinstate part of the federal act that forces areas with racially discriminatory histories to submit election law changes for federal vetting to safeguard minority voting strength.
The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling struck down the section of the law requiring Virginia and other states, mostly in the South, to obtain Justice Department preclearance of redistricting plans. It said the requirement was outdated 48 years after the Congress enacted it.
Marsh says he gave the Senate documents that got Virginia covered under the section.

Police cracking down on school-zone speeders, and many of them are parents
Published: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 6:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 10:45 p.m.
Each school day throughout the city of Ocala a motorist will race 20 mph over the speed limit through one of about two dozen public and private school zones.
And officials said recently that most all school-zone speeders are distracted — whether its because of a cellphone, music or children. And it is usually only by chance these violators are ever caught.
Officials said last week that the biggest school-zone violators are parents running late getting their children to school and elderly drivers unaware of the school times.
Ocala police wrote the second most number of school-zone speeding tickets in the first seven weeks of the school year, from Aug. 19 through Oct. 8.
Ocala police officers wrote 15 during that time span, second only to the Belleview Police Department's 17.
Of the county's remaining five school-zone speeding tickets, Florida Highway Patrol (3), Marion County Sheriff's Office (1) and Dunnellon Police Department (1) wrote the rest.
Tickets overall are on the decline in Marion County. Tickets for speeding in school zones, during the first seven weeks of school, dropped from 48 in 2012 to 37 this year.
Sgt. Frank Zadnik, supervisor of the Ocala Police Department's Traffic Unit, said the worst locations for school-zone speeders within the Ocala city limits are: 36th Avenue in front of Ocala Christian Academy and Ward-Highlands Elementary; Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue near Howard Middle School; and Lake Weir Avenue in front of St. John Lutheran School, The Cornerstone School and South Ocala Elementary School.
■ ■ ■
It was 7 a.m. on a recent day, just before sunrise, when crossing guard Tarrah Ringer stepped up to a sidewalk along Southeast 36th Avenue in front of Ward-Highlands Elementary.
Wearing an orange vest and safety goggles, which had orange and green flashing lights attached, the 34-year-old pushed a button on a concrete pole.
Then, the traffic signal turned red. She held a miniature stop sign and blew a whistle two times, like a drum major leading a band onto a football field.
She stepped into the roadway, now with dozens of cars, garbage trucks and other vehicles backing up.
Hurriedly, she walked students across the five-lane road to the safety of the school's front lawn. Every day, she said, at least one car will drive through the school zone at speeds far above the posted 20-mph limit.
"Sometimes they don't see the flashing lights," said Ringer, who has worked four months as a crossing guard.
"All I can do is blow my whistle" when police officers are not around to catch them, she said as both foot and bicycle traffic began increasing just before school.
"People do need to slow down out there," she said.
That same afternoon at Howard Middle School, sitting inside vehicles parked in a car line, parents and grandparents waited patiently for the end of school.
Joseph Bennett, 73, who thumbed through sheet music as he waited, said he usually drops his granddaughter off a few blocks from school to avoid the traffic. However, he said he's careful when he does drive through school zones.
Sheri Craig, 44, said drivers must make a concentrated effort not to speed. She said she has worked with children at a day care and other facilities and will always be vigilant.
Craig said she really hasn't noticed too many people speeding through Howard Middle's school zone.
Though she may not have noticed many violators, officials say they are out there. Every day, a distracted motorist drives 40 mph through most every school zone.
A few dozen feet from those parents and grandparents, Heather Stine — Ocala Police Department's crossing guard team leader — stood along MLK Jr. Avenue watching traffic.
Stine said she can easily estimate speeds of passing cars with the naked eye. Moments after the signs started flashing, vehicles creeped through the school zone.
Just before students were let out for the day, the traffic began gradually moving faster.
Suddenly a motorcycle, going about 40 mph, zipped by Stine, who waved and blew her whistle. The motorcycle never slowed.
Minutes later, a man in a truck drove through at about the same speed. Stine blew her whistle. The man smirked and waved her off.
Three minutes later, a woman with children in her car passed by at about 35 mph. Stine whistled and yelled again. This time she got the driver's attention.
The driver slowed and yelled out the open car window: "Sorry, I forgot."
Right behind that car, an elderly man going 40 mph traveled through the zone.
There were no Ocala police officers on traffic duty at the time.
During the first week of school, Stine was filling in for a crossing guard at Howard Middle. She was standing along MLK Jr. Avenue when she noticed a driver speeding toward her. The driver was looking down, using her forearms to steer while texting.
"I was nearly hit," Stine recalled. She yelled and whistled loudly to get the unknown driver's attention.
"Unfortunately, we did not have a police officer out there at the time," Stine said of the close call.
Back in the early 1980s, Stine's mother, Eva Miller, was a crossing guard in Keystone Heights.
"They used to throw tennis balls at cars that sped through school zones," Stine noted. "But obviously we can't do that anymore."

UCSD cyclists run a tough race for rough riders
East County's Boulevard Road Race, which marks its 13th year on Saturday, is the country's largest combined collegiate-professional bicycle race. Few nonriders have heard of it for one simple reason.
The organizers are UC San Diego students — and not one has a future in sales.
"This race comes down to who's the smartest," said Usama Hindiyeh, a bioengineering major and captain of the UCSD Cycling Club, "and who's willing to hurt themselves."
"It's a grueling race," agreed Eric Geier, race director and a second year student at UCSD Medical School. "Even when it's sunny, it's very cold."
Even so, in the world of cycling this is what passes for good news — especially today. Like a homely member of the Kardashian clan, the sport is routinely shoved into the shadows by its sexier siblings (football, baseball and basketball). Lance Armstrong's string of Tour de France victories gave it a boost, but now America's most famous cyclist has been exposed as a doped-up fraud. If cycling is now a hot topic, that's only due to confessions, lawsuits and drugs, not climbers and sprinters.
If anything can save this sport, it's an event like Boulevard, in the southeastern corner of San Diego county. You can see how it could be advertised: Fit men and women. Amateurs and pros. Scenic backcountry roads. Competition at its most joyful.
"This race," said cycling club member Daniel Zitter, "crushes you."
His major is management science, not marketing.
Ride and shine
Saturday morning, hundreds of athletes will wheel up to the starting line at Boulevard's Live Oak Springs Resort, elevation 3,200 feet. During each 22.2-mile circuit, riders will ascend more than 2,100 feet. Beginners race one lap; Hindiyeh, two; Zitter, three; and the pros, four. That last route equals 89 miles, climbing the equivalent of sea level to the top of Palomar Mountain — and then straight up another half mile.
"It's one of the harder races on the circuit here in Southern California," said Chris DiMarchi, 41, captain of the MRI Endurance team.
Despite its fearsome reputation, Boulevard last year drew about 700 competitors; Geier conservatively estimates this year's field at "more than 500."
That's an unheard-of number for a student-run race, especially one with a modest $2,000 prize for the first-place pro. But Boulevard attracts an elite crowd. After his doping scandal, Floyd Landis began his riding rehabilitation here. Last year, the field included a pro Australian team and an amateur winner who landed a contract with the Jelly Belly team.
The race also benefits by being early on the calendar. "This really sets the tone for a lot of guys," said DiMarchi, who lives and trains in Chino. "This is kind of the kickoff to the season. And for all the guys who put in a good offseason, it's their time to shine."
But only after more than 50 volunteers, led by race director Geier, mark the route with signs, hire referees, rent Porta Pottys. These time-consuming tasks can interfere with papers, exams and other facts of student life. Just ask Sean Burke, 38, who helps run the Red Trolley Classic, a sprinting race held in Mira Mesa the day after Boulevard.
Traditionally, Red Trolley was run by San Diego State University students. But this year, Burke was unable to find enough State volunteers — so he asked their UC San Diego rivals to run the Trolley: "The way collegiate teams work, kids come and go. But the UCSD club is better organized than the SDSU kids."
At UC San Diego, Hindiyeh explained, older riders mentor younger riders, recruiting their replacements and passing along the club's culture. But this is done casually; riders may be graduate students or freshmen, but there are no class distinctions.

I was told this will be solved shortly. Until then, are you like me and had either none or or just one Series Recordings? I only had one on my HR34. I hadn't transfered my Series Manager settings over to my HR34 from my other DVRs yet.
BTW: I too am annoyed as hell with the "Too record this program" prompt.
The solution was to set ups some series recordings. I put in 10 of them and the "To record this episode" prompt went away.
In other words, the problem was ameliorated.

Untethered trade
March 02, 2011
Something we don't often recognize is how much the Internet has joined steamships, railroads, aircraft, trucks, and pipelines as a primary mode of transport. Indeed, for a steadily expanding range of digitized products and services, the Internet is now the preferred delivery mode.
Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' International Trade Adviser, said this development raises some interesting but seldom examined issues.
"The emergence of a frictionless and essentially cost-free means of delivering goods and services worldwide forces economists to rethink some fundamental notions of how distance and time relate to the concept of comparative advantage," he said. "For trade statisticians and ultimately for policymakers, the fact that the Internet is essentially free of customs posts greatly muddies the cross-border trade data that informs trade policy."
According to O'Connell, trade statisticians worldwide have been struggling with uneven success to devise ways of quantifying trade in products that not only elude the customary mechanisms for monitoring trade but which frequently defy easy classification.
"A recording of Elgar's Enigma Variations on a CD clearly qualifies as a good," he said. "But the very same music downloaded from iTunes to a portable media player is widely regarded as a service. Similarly, what do we make of a software program written in California that is downloaded by an Austrian customer from a server located in Singapore?"
O'Connell maintains that unless the means are found to track the more "ethereal" forms of commerce taking place via the Internet and to produce accurate, detailed statistics on a timely basis, debates over the virtues of free trade and globalization could become even more untethered from any empirical grounding than they already are.
