2004 Road Tour --Back in the Saddle AgainWritten on June 22, 2004 Road Tour 2004
It is hard to believe that it is already time to begin the 2004 version of the PPG/Street Rodder Road Tour. It seems as though I had just pulled into Tampa after the grueling Sacramento to Florida "Iron Man" bonsai. The winter went by very quickly.
The craftsmen at Randy Clark's Hot Rods and Custom Stuff in Escondido, California, had assembled a very beautiful and very high-quality Deuce highboy Roadster for this year's travels. Starting with their Deuce steel chassis, they combined a steel Brookville Roadster body and power from a very potent Gen-III small-block Chevy engine, and they added the finest parts and accessories that the industry offers. The finished package rivals any of the previous Road Tour cars in looks, performance, and craftsmanship.
Gen-III owner Scott Turvey hopped in the passenger seat as we made a stop at the Joshua Tree National Park outside of Palm Springs to finish work on this year's 2004 Road Tour DVD. On the way to Phoenix, Scott, with his trusty laptop, made some final adjustments to its Gen-III powerplant. With his work done, Scott headed back to the Gen-III facility in Escondido, California, while I headed north to Flagstaff, Arizona on east I-40. My destination was Oklahoma City: the site of the 2004 National Street Rod Association's Southwest Nationals. I stayed in famous Tucumcari, New Mexico, on Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday, I traveled to Oklahoma City. The 1,500-mile trip was flawless, and the weather was beautiful the entire way. The ride proved to be very comfortable thanks to the forged aluminum axle and front suspension from Pete & Jake's and the plush bench seat from Wise Guys.
The weekend in Oklahoma was great in all respects. The weather was excellent with temps in the 70s and abundant sunshine all weekend. There were 1,880 street rods registered, and the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds was covered with cars and spectators from Friday morning until the awards on Sunday afternoon.
Getting the Roadster back to Los Angeles after the event was a different story. It had nothing to do with car trouble. It had everything to do with weather trouble. A look at the Weather Channel on Sunday morning gave me the chilling news. It would be snowing in Flagstaff if I decided to take the shortest route back on I-40. There was flooding in Albuquerque if I elected to drop south on I-25. There were thunderstorms predicted for west Texas if I chose that southern route. I decided to take my chances on the thunderstorm in west Texas. At least it would be warmer.
Well, it was not that warm, and I did manage to find the thunderstorms about 30 miles west of El Paso. There was even some hail thrown in for excitement. Given the fact that I had a great car under me and this was not my first rodeo, the Roadster and I made it back to Los Angeles by Tuesday night in very decent shape.
Now it is back home to Ohio for two weeks and then back out west for the NSRA West Coast Nationals. Then it is on to the Nationals South in Knoxville. Get complete coverage of my Oklahoma adventure in the September issue of Street Rodder. Get the latest Road Tour news here at www.streetrodderweb.com, and be sure to check out our beautiful Road Tour Roadster at all of the NSRA events this summer.
See you on the Road Tour...

The Joshua Tree National Park was the setting for the 2004 Road Tour DVD filming. On hand were Director Mike Slee, Primedia Promotion Director Michael Simpson, and Gen III's Scott Turvey. The DVD will cover the complete buildup of the Roadster and will include some great driving footage.From Phoenix, Arizona I traveled north on I-17 toward Flagstaff. This 200-mile stretch of interstate is one of the most beautiful in the country. This is the view as you make the long descent into Camp Verde, Arizona.In Flagstaff, I-17 meets I-40. Los Angeles is about 475 miles to the west, and Oklahoma City is 865 miles to the east. I turned right and headed east toward Oklahoma City: the site of the NSRA Southwest Nationals.After spending Tuesday evening in the famous tourist stop on Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico, I rolled out at dawn. This was the sight at sunrise as I crossed the New Mexico-Texas border.In a Stonehenge-like tribute to our car culture society, the famous Cadillac Ranch is located in a field off Helium Road just west of Amarillo, Texas. Plant ten Cadillacs nose first in the ground, and they will come...from all over to see them.Very close to the Oklahoma border lays the little town of Shamrock, Texas. I have stopped at this '36 vintage Conoco station and diner many times in past travels. The restoration is now complete, and the classic building now is home to the Shamrock Chamber of Commerce.It was a beautiful weekend in Oklahoma City at the NSRA Southwest Nationals. There were 1,880 registered street rods for this year's edition. The huge B-52 Flying Fortress provided some shade from the Oklahoma sunshine.There were over 50 vendors displaying their wares both inside the exhibit building and outside around the famous tower. The Oklahoma State Fairgrounds was covered with rods and spectators from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon.
The fun and games ended on Monday afternoon at about 1:00 p.m. about 30 miles east of El Paso, Texas, on Interstate 10. That was the view to the south outside the Roadster window. When I finally met the storm a few minutes later, it was time to pull off, put the nose into the storm, and ride it out. The Roadster and I both survived to drive another day!

College students (and all of us) are burdened by the idea that we have to succeed in all areas of our lives to be as well balanced as we can, but when does the idea of being perfect go too far? At times, there is a lot of pressure to get the best grades possible on our finals. There are many people that struggle with perfectionism, whether it is realized or not.

Friday sports update
Anderson County had a big day in high school sports on Thursday.
The Bearcat boys' soccer team exploded in the opening minutes of the second half to roll past district rival Frankfort, 4-1, on the Anderson pitch. Leading 1-0 after a first half that saw the Bearcats miss out on some big opportunities, Anderson's David Simmons and Josh Doolin both scored within a five-minute span just after halftime to give Anderson a commanding 3-0 lead.
SPORTS BLOG: Could the Bearcats be ripe for an upset?
I never thought I would see the day when I wondered if Anderson County was really ready for its annual football grudge match with Mercer County.
Not so much about the Bearcats themselves, since I have not been around the team as it has prepared for Friday's game at Warford Stadium. That first game whipping by Bryan Station should have been enough to remind the Bearcats that any team they play is capable of sending them home with an "L."
Wednesday sports update
Boys' soccer: Western Hills rallies past Bearcats
The Anderson County boys' soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision to Western Hills on Tuesday night as Western Hills scored twice in the final 25 minutes to pull out the district win. The Bearcats fell to 4-5-0 on the year, 0-2 in district play. They host Frankfort Thursday at 6 p.m.
"We are looking for better execution against Frankfort," Anderson coach Brett Morris said, adding that the Bearcats need "more shots on goal and fewer silly mistakes."
Girls' soccer: Oldham whips Lady Bearcats
Tony Bennett might have left his heart in San Francisco, but Shea Fridh is putting everything she has into getting there for a cause dear to her heart.
The Anderson County resident is a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training as she points to running her first half-marathon in The City by the Bay on Oct. 13. In doing so, she will be raising money for research into the dreaded diseases.
The girls' soccer team at Anderson County High School has consistently been one of the school's most respected over the last decade, as the program has often been ranked among the state's Top 25. The current season started as no exception with the Lady Bearcats ranked 25th, despite heavy graduation losses from last year.
Commonwealth Stadium won't be the site of the state's only football rivalry this weekend.
Friday, Anderson County hosts Mercer County in a renewal of one of the oldest, and at times, most heated, rivalries for either school. The series has been played sporadically over the years but reached its zenith on the grudge-meter when the schools were district rivals from 1987 to 1996 and usually battled for a state playoff berth.
Remember that day back in 1983 when the Cats and Cards finally duked it out on the basketball court?
Never mind that the luck of the NCAA tournament draw put the programs on a collision course to meet in Knoxville, Tenn., of all places, for the right to play in the Final Four.
It was the Dream Game.
SHELBYVILLE – To see the demeanor around the Anderson County volleyball team Monday night, one might think the Lady Bearcats had just won the game of the year.
To be sure, they had dropped a 26-24, 25-22 decision to host Collins, the team that has owned the 30th District since the school opened last year.
But for Anderson, at least, victories might not always show on the scoreboard.
Anderson County golfer Darrin Laswell is all smiles after being selected to the All-Central Kentucky Conference team at the conference tournament on Saturday.
The Anderson County boys' golf team improved to 10-1 on the year with impressive wins over Franklin County at Juniper Hills and over Collins and Mercer County on the home course at Wild Turkey Trace.

We have a project that runs fine on OS4 but we're having problems getting it to run on iPad 3.2.
Base SDK is 4.0 and Deployment target is 3.2.
The code crashes on the iPad simulator (and device) before it has even started, with the error
"Data Formatters temporarily unavailable"
It seems to run okay if I take 2 lines out...
AVURLAsset* asset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:assetURL options:options];
export = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc] initWithAsset:asset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough];
I branch according to what OS is present so that these lines never get reached when on a 3.2 device (I know they are OS4), but just them being there at all makes the thing crash out before it even begins.
Any ideas? Cheers

"Your way of living is being cut by someone else's greed and it's not fair," said Thomasville Resident June Widden.
Many residents in South Georgia are upset by reports of inmates filing fraudulent tax returns costing the government millions of dollars.
"This is taking revenue out of local economy and we can not afford for this to happen," said Tax-payer Frank Brown.
The IRS said in 2009 seven-thousand inmates filed fraudulent taxes
those refunds totaled nearly 3.6 million dollars, but the IRS claims to have caught a whopping 250 million in bogus prisoner refunds.
The IRS released a statement saying," We devote special scrutiny to prisoner returns and are substantially increasing our enforcement efforts in this area ... However it is clear that more needs to be done."
WCTV sat down with a warden at the Thomas County Prison to find out how inmates are able to file tax returns if at all.
"We do occasionally have a family contact us wanting us to allow them to sign an income tax written form type and we'll do that but the inmates themselves here do not fill out any income tax forms," said Thomas County Prison Warden Robert Geer.
But Wardn Geer said he has seen some red flags and says he turns those families away suggesting they have a lawyer or CPA handle filing the tax return.
"The inmate was locked up for quite sometime and there was really no way that they could have had income tax benefits for the previous year when he was already incarcerated," said Geer.

Dr. Hawasli is a greatly recommend Doctor, but his appointment practices are atrocious! You will wait hours! And I mean maybe some time 4 hours to see this man! As far as I'm concerned no one is worth that wait!
It was a great experience dealing with such caring and informative doctor who exercised a great deal of patience in detailing everything about the procedures and making sure I understood everything clearly
Dr Hawasli is an experience that has changed my life far above & beyond my original expectations. He is an educated man & medicine seems to be naturally encoded in his DNA. He is a compassionate man who genuinely cares about the overall well being of his patients. In the future, should I receive a medical diagnosis that requires surgery, Dr Hawasli will be the first man I contact. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon, I suspect that he is also a beautiful & giving humanitarian. Thank You Dr Hawasli for saving my life.
I would recommend this surgeon 100%. He operated on my father and not only did I feel like my dad was taken care of by the best, I also felt like I was kept informed of all possible senerios. Everytime I saw him, even if only for a few minutes, I never got the impression he was rushing or treating me different because I was a female. I'm sure he is extremely booked bc he's great at what he does. After taking my father on as a pt I thought he was extremely attentive and caring. I think of him as a role model for anyone in the medical field and greatful for finding him to care for my family
I am not sure if he is adequate surgeon or not. He would not answer my question or even look at me. After I asked straight forward question twice with him completely ignoring me my husband finally asks him same question and then he decided it was worth his time to answer the question. I complained to his staff and they told me outright that he doesn't respect women at all. I would never trust him.
Dr Hawasli is truly a professor of medicine and surgery. He is highly expert in surgery and patient care. he explains well. He alerted me to other potential medical issues that I have never noticed. he is a true hero who looks after his patients.Ever thankful for you Dr. Hawasli
Sleeve worked greate
Great doctor, but extremely overbooked. For both of my appts I waited at least 2 hours in a very small room packed with people and no TV. Everyone in the waiting room did nothing but complain. He did a great surgery on me, and that's what really counts, but the wait time is outrageous.

I'm probably in the minority here as I wouldn't want multiple regions. It'd seem artificial and come close to invalidating the fun of earlier games.
As for one not mentioned, I think there should be more HMs (e.g. a Fire-type move that allows you to traverse lava/magma deposits, a Bug-type move that allows you to walk across spiderwebs without getting stuck and having to battle spider-like Pokemon), an analogue to Dig that allows you to actually dig underground, find secret passages, explore, etc.) as well as a card-battling system (not an in-game Pokemon TCG) or something else that you could play with NPCs, like the card minigame in Final Fantasy VIII.
I'm also in favor of a Battle Frontier, a Dark-type Gym Leader, a new storyline, new Eeveelutions, Berry Trees, and a new battle system.

What the numbers are showing us
How average people are building great wealth
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
The diversified industrial conglomerate, 3M (
), has a robust dividend policy which is highlighted from its
long-term dividend track record and high payout ratio. The company
has paid dividends to its shareholders consecutively for the last
97 years. More importantly, it has increased dividends successively
for the last 56 years. In 2013, the company anticipates to pay
dividends of $2.54 per share to its shareholders, up from $2.36 per
share it paid last year. At Friday's (September 13) closing
price of $118.60, this translates to a yield of 2.14%.
Additionally, on average 3M has paid out 40% of its earnings as
dividends to its shareholders. Such a high payout ratio coupled
with the long history of dividend payments makes 3M a highly
attractive stock for investors looking to invest in dividend-paying
stocks. The track-record clearly highlights the company's
commitment to dividends.
Looking ahead, 3M says that it will raise its future dividends
in line with its earnings growth. At the same time, it targets an
earnings growth of 9%-11% per year for the next five years. We
figure that the company can achieve this earnings growth on the
strength of its diversified business interests that
span industrial, health care, consumer, safety, graphics and
electronic markets driven by its strong and growing commitment to
research. Thus, it is highly likely that 3M's shareholders
will see good dividend increases in the near-term.
We currently have
a stock price estimate of $115 for 3M
, marginally below its current market price.
See our complete analysis of 3M here
Greater Commitment To Stock Repurchases
In addition to dividends, 3M has an active share repurchase
program. During 2003-07, the company repurchased shares worth $10
billion and during 2008-12, it repurchased shares worth $7 billion.
For the next five years, 2013-17, the company anticipates it will
raise its stock repurchases to between $7.5 billion and $15
billion. At a market cap of around $81 billion at Friday's
(September 13) closing price, stock repurchases reach a significant
proportion of the company's market cap. Together, through these two
channels - dividends and stock repurchases - 3M is returning
significant cash to its shareholders.

Effort underway to preserve 1930s gas stationMay 14,2014
The Associated Press
ST. ALBANS - The city of St. Albans, Vermont, is trying to find a way to upgrade and preserve what's believed to be the longest continually operating gas station in the state.
The Clarence Brown gas station was built in 1932. The St. Albans Messenger reports (http://bit.ly/1ssJBiX) some of the gas pumps are l in the public right of way. A plan would shift the entire site. But members of the city's Development Review Board say it would be difficult to grant a permit for it under current zoning rules.
The proposal awaits further input from the Design Advisory Board and the Planning Commission.
Jacqueline Brown, the daughter-in-law of the late Clarence Brown, has endorsed the effort to preserve the character of the site.MORE IN This Just InWESTMINSTER Vermont State Police say a passenger has died in an off-road vehicle crash in...

On June 12 the Treasury Department of the United States will launch the Fifth War Loan Drive with a campaign that will continue through July 8. The Treasury Department reports that taxes are providing less than half the money required to continue the war effort. The goal of the Fifth War Loan Drive is $16,000,000,000, to be raised entirely from investors other than commercial banks. Of the total, $6,000,000,000 is to come from sales of bonds to individuals. In the Fourth War Loan individual subscribers invested $5,300,000,000. The records indicate that more than 55,000,000 Americans own at least one war bond. No doubt every physician invested in bonds during previous drives and may be counted on to do his part in this drive also. The advertisers in all the publications of the American Medical Association have been emphasizing to our readers again and again the desirability of the war bond

Taylor Pennington's desire to be the best literally involves a running start.
Somewhere between the first of her carefully choreographed steps and lift-off, Center Grove's high-jumper builds the acceleration necessary to help launch her 6-foot frame over a fiberglass bar.
Pennington's hope is that it, along with her own technique, is enough to someday make her the Trojans' first girls state champion in track and field.
The junior flirted with such a distinction at the 2013 IHSAA Girls Track and Field State Finals at Indiana University, clearing 5-7 to finish runner-up to Oak Hill's Janae Moffitt, who went 5-10.
Pennington would have preferred the champion's medal and the bump in her reputation that goes along with it.
Fate, however, knew what it was doing.
"I had been undefeated the whole season, so I wanted to get first. I was upset because I tried my hardest, and it wasn't enough," Pennington said. "But getting second was probably the best thing for me because it pushed me."
Pennington's offseason travels to IU to work out at — depending on the season — both the Hoosiers' indoor and outdoor facilities demonstrates her desire to
get better. After all, the competition isn't about to let up.
Moffitt remains only a junior. Five of the top six high-jumpers at state a year ago were underclassmen, the others being Noblesville's Rachel Mather, Greenfield-Central's Regan Lewis and Ellen Foster of Mount Vernon (Posey).
"It's all about making goals for myself. I'm hoping for 5-10 this season, and we'll go from there," Pennington said.
Pennington jumped 5-4 over the weekend to take first at the Hoosier Qualifier at Purdue University. She'll take part in the Hoosier State Relays at Indiana Wesleyan University next Saturday.
Center Grove begins its outdoor season April 2 with a dual meet at Bloomington South before taking part in the Columbus North Invitational on April 12.
Pennington first became interested in the high jump five years ago. But what began more out of curiosity evolved into a very serious undertaking.
"I started doing it in sixth grade during gym class. I had never heard of high-jumping before that, but I did it, stuck with it and love it," she said. "You control it, and it's all mental. It's all you."
Her path to becoming one of the state's premier jumpers includes one sizable pothole.
After coming in second at the Franklin Community Sectional as a freshman with a best of 5-4, Pennington's dreams of making it to state were derailed by a 14th-place effort at the Shelbyville Regional.
Pennington's top height that day of 4-10 is exactly a foot beneath her vertical objective this spring.
"I'm sure Taylor was a little embarrassed. Since that point she's figured out that she is really good and has been good since that meet. What she did last season was definitely a pleasant surprise," Trojans coach Wes Dodson said.
"She started showing that confidence because (former teammate and four-time state finalist) Mackenzie (Kitchel) had graduated and Taylor wasn't in anyone's shadow anymore. I think people knew she was that good, I just don't know if Taylor knew she was that good."
She does now.
And though Pennington isn't capable of touching the sky, it's where her limit resides.

Dad Takes Mom to Court Over Skipped Shottoddler-times
A mother's decision not to give her child the swine flu shot has landed her in court. But it isn't the government sending her there. It's the child's father.
Neither of the parents are being named to protect the identify of their nine-year-old daughter, but the Telegraph reported Dad wants his daughter to get the shot.
His ex-wife, however, says she doesn't think there's enough of a risk to their daughter if she gets the disease, and she's decidedly anti-vaccine.
So what's a court to do?
When dad's argument is listen to the medical authorities and he's saying mom's is "I read it on the Internet," we're willing to bet it will be a toughy. But the court needs to figure out if the parents are really fighting about the shot or just using their kid as a pawn in their reportedly acrimonious divorce. Two years after splitting up, they're still at it – fighting over a pre-nup in British courts.
And now their fighting could make for a major legal precedent in Britain – should medical doctor's recommendations get the final say or should parents' guts hold sway?

If you want to be treated as a money making machine and short changed for treatment you should use this salon!!! I would recommend staying away from the salon.
Customer service at the salon and value for money has gone downhill since I started treatments at the salon. While the therapists are friendly enough the service has gone downhill. I have been kept waiting at the door on several occasions for at least 10 minutes or more in the pouring rain before a therapist has appeared to answer the door. This has meant my treatment has started late and when I complained about this I was told that there was nothing that they could be done about this as they don't have reception staff. This has also happened when the salon has called me up to ask if I can be flexible and come in earlier for treatment which I have always tried to accommodate. However on the one occasion I called to say I would be a little late (15minutes) due to train problems, the response I got was my treatment time would be reduced as they had a follow on appointment and could not be late for that. This is both surprising and hypocritical given on a number of occasions I have been kept waiting because of other appointments over running yet when it came to my treatment they were quick to use this as an excuse.
I did complain and the therapist said she would check with Andy (the manager) to find out if I could come back in to make up the missed time. I made clear that I had paid a significant amount of money for the laser course of treatments and have never messed the salon around and am always on time for my treatments previously as well as having been kept waiting for my own appointments. I also pointed out that on a number of occasions they have finished my treatments well ahead of my allocated time and I was only asking for a 15 minutes to finish off the untreated part. I got a call a week later saying that the manager was unwilling to offer an alternative slot and as I had been late it was my own fault for losing the full treatment. I can appreciate this attitude if I was a serial offender or had been inflexible with the salon and they had taken this approach but as this definitely wasn't the case. It feels the attitude is just about making money and taking what they can from customer rather than building up customer loyalty through flexibility and good customer service.
To make matters worse having paid for my 'full body' treatment I was told I had to choose/prioritise which area I wants done as full body means whatever can be done in the 2 hours treatment. I have been having the same treatment for all my sessions yet depending on the therapist they would start complaining about what I wanted to get done, although I know the areas I have asked for can be done well within the time having had the treatment with other therapists at the salon!
It never used to be like this at the salon and things definitely gone downhill last few months. Therefore I would recommend avoiding the salon for treatment because good customer service makes all the difference!

Is my Tamron 70-300 VC matching my Nikon 300mm f/4 AF ED?
I recently purchased a Tamron 70-300mm VC and I'm pretty impressed with it thus far. I recently started comparing it to my Nikon 300 f/4 AF ED which I purchased used about two years ago.
To test them I shot a brick wall (sorry if you shun the brick wall test but I needed something static) several times with each lens wide open and picked out the best one. I then cropped each photo to about 50%. Both are JPGs right from the camera (D200) with no other modifications.
To me they seem just about even but I wanted others opinions as well.

"The Yiddish Policemen's Union"
What Killed It? Having only ever made original projects for the first twenty years of their career, it's a little odd that the Coen Brothers had their greatest successes with adaptations: the Oscar-winning "No Country For Old Men" from Cormac McCarthy's book, and "True Grit," from Charles Portis'. But they've also had more trouble getting adaptations made. They planned a wordless take on James Dickey's brutal WW2 survival tale "To The White Sea" with Brad Pitt, but couldn't get financing, while they could never crack Elmore Leonard's "Cuba Libre" (which was, to be fair, only a screenwriting gig). But the most recent is the one for which perhaps they were the best fit: "The Yiddish Policeman's Union," an alternative universe noir set in a world where Alaska became a Jewish state after the Second World War. Scott Rudin had picked up the rights before it was even written, and brought the Coens, who Chabon calls his "favorite living filmmakers," on board straight after "No Country For Old Men." And no wonder as their sensibilities were perfect for the twisty plot and quirky characters of the source material. They were meant to tackle it after "A Serious Man," but "True Grit," and then this year's "Inside Llewyn Davis," took precedence, and there's been nothing heard from it for a long, long time.
How Could It Be Resurrected? Technically, it's never been killed, and the Coens have a habit of working on projects for years -- "Fargo" famously was sitting in a drawer since the "Barton Fink" days -- so maybe it'll be next after 'Llewyn Davis' But we wouldn't be surprised to see Rudin get it going again with someone else.
"House Of Re-Animator"
What Killed It? While the "Re-Animator" series isn't exactly the strongest franchise out there, the first film is still a brilliant horror-comedy classic, and when series creator Stuart Gordon announced he was proposing a fourth film for theatrical release, we showed some interest. It wasn't until we learned the premise that we became truly excited. Gordon intended to bring Dr. Herbert West to the White House, where his responsibilities included restarting the heart of Vice President Dick Cheney, while William H. Macy was set to play George W. Bush. We're surprised the film got as much traction as it did, as they couldn't shore up nearly enough funds to make the film happen until, sadly, it was no longer relevant. Gordon said in 2010 that he saw no reason to make the film anymore.
How Can It Be Resurrected? In this form, it's extremely unlikely, and Gordon's not made a theatrical film since 2007's "Stuck," focusing instead on theater work. But it's possible that a "Re-Animator" sequel of some kind could get going down the line, although a remake is more likely, ultimately.
"Silver Surfer"
What Killed It? Though talk of a "Silver Surfer" film has been around forever, the character has usually proved fairly hard to translate. Fox probably made the right move by placing him in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" as a supporting character hinting at a rich history. Before the film's release, they hired respectable scribe J Michael Straczynski ("Changeling") to spin off the character previously known as Norrin Radd into his own galaxy-spanning universe, with the film following directly on from his introduction in 'Rise of the Silver Surfer,' returning him to his home world and battling Galactus. Unfortunately, the film performed below expectations, and for the most part botched the characterization of the Surfer, an intergalactic do-gooder with near-infinite powers, and Straczynski said in 2009 that with Fox disappointed at how the "Fantastic Four" sequel performed, there was little likelihood of his project getting made, and nothing's been heard since.
How Can It Be Resurrected? Fox are moving ahead with a reboot of "Fantastic Four," with "Chronicle" director Josh Trank said to be the main contender to direct (though he says he hasn't been contacted about it), which means that Straczynski's version with Doug Jones/Laurence Fishburne as the surfer is dead and gone. The studio may try to launch a 'Surfer' movie off the franchise again, but it's likely years away at this point.

text: Gettysburg Address At Lincoln's Tomb, Remembering A Fallen Son By Brian Mackey • Nov 20, 2013 Illinois National Guard A unique group of families met in Springfield Tuesday for their own commemoration of the Gettysburg Address. It's the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's speech consecrating a Civil War cemetery. Nowadays, the most famous speech in American history is chiefly remembered for the quality of its rhetoric. But for others, it's the substance of Lincoln's words that counts. Lincoln's Journey To Gettysburg By Sean Crawford • Nov 18, 2013 UIS The story of the Gettysburg Address began long before that day Abraham Lincoln stood at the speaker's platform and delivered those famous 272 words. Newspaper Apologizes For Negative Review Of Gettysburg Address By Associated Press • Nov 14, 2013 npr A Pennsylvania newspaper says it's sorry it didn't recognize the greatness of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 150 years ago. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg on Thursday retracted a dismissive editorial penned by its Civil War-era predecessor, The Harrisburg Patriot & Union. The president's speech is now considered a triumph of American oratory. But the retraction notes the newspaper's November 1863 coverage said it amounted to ``silly remarks'' that deserved a ``veil of oblivion.'' ALPLM Hosts Gettysburg Address Events By Sean Crawford • Nov 14, 2013 150 years ago next week, Abraham Lincoln delivered a 272 word speech that has become known as one of the greatest in history. Tuesday, November 19, marks the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. On Monday, the day before, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will host events to honor the occasion. His Greatest Speech: This Month Marks the 150th Anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address By Michael Burlingame • Nov 1, 2013 Robert Shaw / WUIS/Illinois Issues One of the more misleading myths about the Gettysburg Address is that it was not properly appreciated by the audience who heard it or the readers who soon afterward saw it in newspapers. In fact, many of the 15,000 assembled at Gettysburg were profoundly moved. Edward Everett, who delivered the main oration just before Lincoln delivered his "few appropriate remarks," noted that the president's handiwork was "greatly admired." And so it was.

Sometimes a certain book becomes so important in its field that it is considered to be the bible of the subject. So it is with Dale P. Clemens's Advanced Custom Rod Building, the book that sent American fishermen back to their workshops. Noting practically and philosophically that a rod is an "extension of the angler's hand," Clemens encourages every fisherman to have a rod that is customized for his or her grip and casting style. Clemens explains all of the general principles necessary for making tackle that is superior to anything off the rack, and provides exhaustive figures, illustrations, and tables for the experienced custom builder who wants to fish the perfect rod for his own hand. He shares invaluable advice on how to build rods of every kind, from ultra-light to heavy surf, how to choose (and make) the best blanks, seats, handles, grips, and guides, and how to finish and seal rods to make them as handsome and durable as possible. Stunningly detailed and thorough, Advanced Custom Rod Building is a complete guide to building a fisherman's most essential tool and an indispensable companion for any serious angler.

Real-Time Information: The pilot plans
Simon Fowler navigates the Real-Time Information maze.
If a payroll manager hasn't heard about the roll-out of Real-Time Information (RTI) by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), then they have clearly been sunning themselves on Saturn for the past few months. RTI is probably the biggest change to hit Pay As You Earn (PAYE) since it was introduced in 1944, and the impact is going to be huge.
In a nutshell
From April 2013, all but a handful of UK employers and pension providers will have to electronically submit information to HMRC about PAYE deductions as they are made, instead of annually.
The RTI pilot is already in progress, running from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013, with many obstacles and challenges expected along the way. So what does the pilot entail, and what are the concerns and benefits of getting involved?
Top tips: Making RTI work
The following five top tips will help to maximise the RTI pilot opportunity.
Under RTI, HMRC will be told about tax, National Insurance contributions (NICs) and other deductions when or before the payments are made, instead of after the end of the tax year. RTI reporting will become an integral part of an employer's normal payroll activity. Therefore, when they run their payroll, the payroll software will gather the information required and send it to HMRC. With RTI up and running, the data passed on will be far more accurate and timelier than currently.
The only employers who are exempt from electronic RTI submissions are those whose religious beliefs are incompatible with the use of electronic communications. Together with individuals who hire carers to provide services to a disabled or elderly person in their home, they will be permitted to provide RTI on paper.
RTI data will need to be submitted from April 2013, with ongoing penalties applying to late filings expected to be introduced with gusto from 2013/14. For 2012/13, the final RTI submission of the tax year will be treated as equivalent to the P14/P35 end-of-year return, and penalties for late filing will apply as they do now.
Ironing out the problems
A pilot is being run by HMRC to iron out the RTI problems in advance of all employers coming on board in April 2013. This initiative, which is a huge logistical exercise including live data, means ramping up involvement from just 10 employers in April 2012 to 250,000 by March 2013. All firms participating in the pilot are doing so in collaboration with their software providers to ensure that their payroll systems are able to effectively cope with the requirements.
Only 10 businesses (or more accurately, PAYE references) are taking part in the "pre-pilot" for a month from April to May 2012. This aims to test the systems to ensure that they can handle the data volumes before a further 310 businesses come on board in May.
In July 2012, the initiative is being extended to include 1,300 UK-wide employers. Then, from November 2012, HMRC will be phasing-in thousands more, with a target of 250,000 by March 2013.
The pilot officially ends on 5 April 2013, with all UK employers being required to submit live RTI data from 6 April 2013.
HMRC intends to direct the majority of employers and pension providers to make RTI returns from 6 April 2013. However, the legislation provides HMRC with flexibility so that in limited cases it can issue a direction for a later date, up to 6 October 2013, if necessary.
Stages and requirements
Employers involved in the pilot, and with RTI in general, will be required to go through a number of different stages, starting with data improvement. This involves the cleansing of existing employee information and is a key requirement before any RTI data can be submitted to HMRC. The employer must ensure that its data on all current staff as of tax year 2012/13, including name, address, gender, date of birth and tax code, is as accurate as possible.
To assist with this process, HMRC is feeding back any discrepancies to employers, such as National Insurance (NI) numbers that don't match the correct records. HMRC is also providing guidance on how to most effectively cleanse data through a range of methods, including webinars and seminars.
The second stage is a payroll alignment exercise, which must be done before businesses start sending RTI payment returns. HMRC has accepted that data an employer holds is likely to be more accurate than any it holds. Therefore, the exercise will mean that out-of-date employee data will be replaced with up-to-date and accurate information.
RTI pilot: An insider's view
John Clarke, Payroll and Pensions Supervisor at Aircraft Research Association, says: "As with any new project, we will be given a lot of information from the start and will be given time to adapt to the new ways of working. I hope that by partaking in the pilot, the whole roll-out of RTI will run smoothly. I am anticipating that by the time it does, I will be proficient in the use of the new software and have a good grasp on the timings involved with sending information across to HMRC.
"My advice to those employers looking to get involved in the pilot is to be positive. View it as a means of getting in at the base level and learning, at a steady pace, the new ways we will have to work. It does not take up a great deal of time as the greater part of the work is completed by the software provider and HMRC. We are the middle men who make sure that the software works in a live environment and test that the HMRC software works through the transmission of our data."
Each employer must provide an extract of all individuals who are employed within a particular PAYE scheme in the current tax year, including those who have left since the start of the tax year. The alignment extract can take one of two forms – the Employer Alignment Submission (EAS) or the first Full Payment Submission (FPS).
An EAS must be undertaken by every business with more than 250 staff. This submission of cleansed employee data will need to take place before the first FPS. This will be early April for the initial 10 companies and the start of May for the additional 310 participating in the pilot.
Businesses with fewer than 250 staff can submit an FPS instead of an EAS, although many software developers have taken the decision that the EAS should be created and submitted for all employers. The first FPS can be created per payroll if an EAS has already been sent. The first FPS must report details of pay and deductions and year-to-date figures for all employees who have been in employment since the start of the tax year. It must also include individuals who have left since the beginning of the tax year and those who have not been paid at all.
After the first FPS, every time the employer makes a payroll payment, it will need to send an FPS to HMRC at the same time. FPSs after the first one must only include data on employees paid in that particular pay period. The submission of an FPS will completely negate the electronic submission of P45s and P46s, and end-of-year returns P14s and P35.
An Employer Payment Summary (EPS) reports any adjustments to the tax and NI that need to be paid for that tax month. It is required once per tax month per PAYE reference.
The National Insurance Number Verification Request is an ad hoc submission that allows employers to confirm that they have the correct NI number (NINO) for a new starter. It also allows them to request a NINO when one has not been provided by the employee. Up to 100 NINOs can be requested per single submission.
Throughout the RTI pilot, participants will be supported by both the employers' payroll providers and HMRC effectively "hand holding" them. HMRC is allocating a customer relationship manager to each pilot business. However, it will still be heavily reliant on software providers to pass on information.
Typical concerns
Overall, most employers appear to be accepting of the RTI principles. However, this does not quell their concerns as they embark on the project.
With any change comes fear, and RTI is no different. It will be delivering significant modifications and will require an adaptation of payroll processes in order to comply with its requirements. As it remains unclear as to how exactly RTI will perform and how payroll departments will accommodate the changes, in some cases there is a real anxiety about its day-to-day impact. Typical concerns include whether RTI will involve a lot of extra work and training, and if HMRC will be able to cope with the timings and/or intricacies of a particular payroll. Other worries are whether businesses will be able to get their employee data cleansed in time and if technology will be up to the task.
HMRC admits that it does not currently have all the answers, which is why the pilot is so important.
Ahead of the game
The pilot is expected to iron out employers' concerns, making the roll-out of RTI to all employers in April 2013 as trouble-free as possible. It provides the opportunity for those involved to be "ahead of the game" and enables them to find out what is happening early on. With early visibility comes early preparation, and firms can also steer how RTI operates.
RTI pilot: An insider's view
Graham Camfield, Systems and Payroll Manager at The Brendoncare Foundation, says: "It was important to get involved in the RTI pilot as the care industry has pay periods that are unusual. We felt that if we didn't make HMRC aware of the nuances early on, there would be issues further down the line. Getting involved in the pilot allows us to have direct input and ensures that we can play an active role in shaping how RTI will operate in relation to the care sector.
"It's important for companies to consider what they want to get out of the pilot and what will be expected from them. Although payroll needs to drive the RTI pilot, there needs to be valuable involvement from others including HR and management.
"Finally, ensure that before the pilot kicks off a thorough payroll data cleansing exercise has taken place so that when the data is submitted to HMRC, there won't be too many queries. Don't seek 100 per cent accuracy as this is unrealistic."
Another key benefit is that all participants are hand-held by HMRC throughout the process. They will also be receiving one-to-one attention and assistance from their payroll software providers. Having this ongoing support slowly and carefully eases them into RTI.
So, with the RTI pilot now upon us, marking the start of the biggest change to PAYE for nearly 70 years, the question is – are you going to be involved or would you prefer other organisations to navigate the way for you?

Long-Term Capital: A Case Of Markets Over Minds
By DOUGLAS FRANTZ and PETER TRUELL
Published: October 11, 1998
BOND traders nicknamed Long-Term Capital Management ''Salomon North,'' a reference to the many partners in the Greenwich, Conn., hedge fund who were veterans of Salomon Brothers. But a more apt choice might have been ''M.I.T. South.''
The people -- and the mathematical ''rocket science'' -- at the core of the elite hedge fund had strong ties to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the working atmosphere was far closer to the studied tranquillity of academia than to a frenetic trading floor.
Even the setting in wealthy, quiet Greenwich was chosen to contrast with the gray skyscrapers and crowded, narrow streets of Manhattan's financial district. The partners, many of whom had mined those financial canyons for tens of millions of dollars, traded suits and ties for polo shirts and chinos, preferring to relieve stress with a game of pool or a fishing break.
The mood was collegial, recalled Peter van Rijssen, a recent college graduate who spent a pleasant three months as a $17-an-hour temp at Long-Term Capital in the summer of 1996. ''Everyone was extremely friendly, from the boss on down,'' he said. ''It was very calm and ordered.''
That order was shattered last month as Long-Term Capital ran out of money and was deemed too big to fail without disrupting the global financial markets, leading to an emergency $3.6 billion capital infusion by a consortium of brokerage firms and banks organized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
As the winds of turmoil strip away some of the firm's secrecy, a portrait emerges of a group of highly analytical, extremely rational former academics who believed they had created a mathematical trading model to withstand the sharpest gyrations of the global marketplace. In hindsight, their lack of trading instincts and their adherence to numerical models -- which showed that their bets would eventually pay off -- kept them from understanding the gravity of their situation until it was too late.
So certain were they of the firm's infallibility that they kept virtually all their money in the fund, treating it as a checking account, and borrowed money to increase their personal stakes in it. Some expected to attain riches that would put them on a par with the wealthiest dynasties in America.
One of the 16 partners, Lawrence E. Hilibrand, an M.I.T. graduate who earned $23 million at Salomon in 1990, borrowed $24 million last year to increase his investment in the fund. Now Mr. Hilibrand, his partners and many of firm's 180 employees are scrambling to avoid financial ruin and anguishing over the damage they have inflicted to themselves and their investors.
''Our wealth has been knocked down to zero in many cases,'' said a person involved with the firm. ''But most of us came from backgrounds of academics and teaching, and it wasn't too long ago that we didn't have much.'' Of course, many of them have long become accustomed to the trappings of wealth.
The partners at Long-Term Capital have laid low, generally declining requests for interviews. ''They have always been extraordinarily secretive and didn't want to be in any publication,'' said Antoine Bernheim, who could not even get enough information to include Long-Term Capital in his annual hedge fund directory. But several people involved with the firm agreed to speak on condition that their names be withheld.
JOHN W. MERIWETHER, a pioneer in betting on fluctuations in bond prices, a strategy known as bond arbitrage, recruited many of the finest minds in finance, most from his former firm, Salomon Brothers, to create Long-Term Capital in 1993. They shared an intellectual approach to the world of trading, one that flowed from their backgrounds in academia and their doctorates in finance.
''These guys are among the best and the brightest,'' said William A. McIntosh, a former Salomon partner and a former colleague of many Long-Term Capital principals.
The partners ''tried not to react to things too quickly,'' said one person involved since the early days. ''We have tried to study things very carefully. We have tried to do it very slowly.''
That strategy was well suited to the good times but would come back to haunt the partners when market volatility outstripped their ability to react.
Among the fund's original partners were two academics who had spent time at M.I.T. and who would later share a Nobel Prize, Myron S. Scholes of Stanford University and Robert C. Merton of Harvard University, whose groundbreaking work in 1973 had turned risk management into a science and opened up Wall Street to the era of ''rocket scientists,'' the mathematics and physics whizzes who trade according to formulas instead of hunches.
Mr. Scholes, whose Greenwich house overlooks Indian Harbor on a private road, played a key role in soliciting money for the original fund, according to one fund investor. ''At the presentation, he was just the brightest guy I'd ever heard,'' the investor said. ''It was a collection of uniquely intelligent men.''
The rocket scientists included Eric R. Rosenfeld, a former professor at the Harvard Business School who had been a managing director at Salomon, and Gregory D. Hawkins, another former Salomon managing director and a former finance professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

Grandparents Are Important
A child benefits from having the unconditional love only grandparents can provide.
Just being a grandparent makes you an important part of the child's life. To a child, a grandparent is an adult who loves her, loves her parents and who her parent love. They provide her with a feeling of comfort and security, different from any other loving adult in the child's world.
Dearly Beloved
Many grandparents love the opportunity to be a playmate to their grandchild. They read books, play games, cook treats. A grandparent may be the one a child turns to when he carries a burden too big to share with anyone else.
Your children's relationship with your parents will depend greatly on your own relationship with them. You all have the best interests of the children at heart, even if you don't see eye to eye.
Areas of conflict
You may worry that the grandparent is spoiling your little child. But the grandparent, meaning well, simply has a more lenient view of child-rearing. Conflicts often include disagreements about methods of childrearing or the degree of grandparent involvement in the child's life. Some grandparents lack respect for their own child's role as a parent. In other cases, parents assume that their own parents should be willing to drop everything to take care of their grandchildren.
Grandparents rock
Grandparents today have their own lives and they are living it. While they may make allowances for the 6 weeks post-pregnancy period, grandmothers aren't willing to take over as completely as they used to. Often, they live in different cities and look forward to being back home and their own routine. The current generation of young grandmoms do not fall into the stereotype of little old ladies ever willing to open their stock of homemade sweets and stories.
Dealing with your parents
Grandparents differ in how much they are willing to be involved. While some can hardly wait to have grandchildren, others feel they have done their bit in raising you. Some are willing to live with you are care for baby, while others think it is now your turn. Some genuinely look forward to spending time with little ones again. Or you find they are a little too eager to participate, you may have to make your limits clear. Some grandparents keep their distance because they don't want to interfere with how you bring up your children. Some are willing to take an older child for an evening, while others are not capable of handling them alone.
Make the most of whatever kind of grand parenting they offer; they are important in your child's life too. When you respect your parents' limits, the grandparent-grandchild connection can be the best gift you give your child.
For grandparents reading this
Just being a grandparent makes you important to children, but being a beloved grandparent is something that must be earned.
Don't be just a visitor
Entertaining can be a hassle for harried new parents, so make yourself a part of their lives by proving your importance. Babysit, do the shopping, take the children out. Let your visit be a time for the new mom to rest. And if you ever feel you're being taken for granted as a babysitter and you cannot do it, that's okay too. Find another way to help.
Spoiling: Good or Bad?
If spoiling means disregarding rules, overindulging or giving in to every craving, spoiling may be bad. If spoiling them means being there, playing games, being a security blanket, then play the role to your hearts content.
Create memories
Read their favourite book, or make a special grandmom book. Years later, reading the book will bring back the good feelings for both of you.
Remember who sets the rules
Grandparents need to learn to step back, let children make the decisions. Bedtime, feeding time, bathtime, naptime, clothing, appropriate toys-those decisions belong to the parents.

sounds like you are holding a grudge and rationalizing keeping your kids from their grandparents.
mark my words: your kids will resent you for doing that! i know, my parents kept me from my
grandparents because my mom left her home in anger and never bothered to get to the truth or forgive.
she kept us kids from her parents as a result and lied to us about them. she never tried to reconcile
with her parents and can't even remember why she is so angry. our cousins would tell us how great
my grandparents were and how much they loved them. we felt mom deprived of this love. my brothers and sisters
hate mom for doing this. today we are all very close to our grandparents now that we are of age.
sad mom has wasted all these years doing what she told us not to!

I have got some interesting discussion or you can say query to be placed over here. As my title says that I want to know the exact procedure for playing a video on another monitor with the help of the VLC media player, now what exactly I need to see is this secondary monitor should only be able to play the video with a full screen and the complete control of the media player should be handled from the main monitor.
Please do not say that this is not possible, I am very well aware of this concept and I have already tried out this same thing previously a long time ago but with the older version. But now I am trying out the same procedure but nothing seems to be working at all. Nothing has been change except for the version of the VLC that I am running currently. Is it that the developers of VLC have now restricted such features into their latest version? The version that I tried previously for the same purpose was 0.98 and now I am get the same thing done with 1.1.2 and other later versions. However as already said other than the version nothing has been changed but then why I am facing the problem. Also the system is the same previous one i.e. windows XP system. Anyways its you people you can help me out now; I am done from my side. Please help me out and let me know what should be done. Any suggestion will be welcomed and highly appreciated.
