A host of all-star honorees including Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway President, Timothy J. Rooney, Sr; ESPN and CBS Broadcaster and Attorney Leonard J. Elmore, and H.H. Brown Shoe Co., Inc Chairman Francis C. Rooney, Jr helped Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) celebrate its 78th Club of Champions Tribute on June 5, 2014 at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. Neither Timothy Rooney, Sr. nor Francis Rooney, Jr. are related except in their commitment to CYO.
Mr. Rooney, Sr., honored with the Gold Medal Award, is also a former director and son of the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mr. Elmore, honored with the John V. Mara Sportsman of the Year Award, played professional basketball for a host of teams including the New Jersey Nets and New Yorker Knickerbockers before receiving his law degree from Harvard Law School, making him the first –and only – National Basketball Association player to graduate from Harvard Law School after retiring from professional basketball. And Mr. Rooney, Jr., honored with the Terence Cardinal Cooke Humanitarian Award, opened and acquired a number of specialty retail businesses including Marshall's, Linens & Things, K.B. Toys and CVS Drug Stores.
Thanks to their and fellow CYO supporters' generosity, each year this annual event raises money for the CYO. CYO serves tens of thousands of young people through athletic, social, spiritual and cultural activities and services. Funds raised at this annual dinner provide critical resources for our inner-city community centers, and parish-based athletic and cultural programs.
CYO, a division of Catholic Charities, reaches out to more than 28,000 children and youth in the Archdiocese of New York through hundreds of local sports programs, cultural activities, community centers, Youth Ministry Programs and retreat centers. Through this broad array of recreational and spiritual growth and development opportunities, CYO promotes lives of promise, accomplishment and hope for young New Yorkers.

Still a very new newbie, but I do at least change my own strings. Been trying different strings out and would love some feedback from other Seagull owners about what you are using.
I'm playing an S-6 Original (Cedar top, laminate cherry sides/back) with a set of D'Addario EJ Custom Lights. Like the tone and feel, but what do I know?
I've not tried coated strings yet.... opinions?
Views: 5855
Personally, I'm not a fan of the coated strings. I've tried Elixers as well as the Martin ones too and I didn't like how the coating felt. However, this is totally a personal preference and I know many folks who have great success with the coated strings, so they're definitely worth a try. I have a Norman ST40 (which is very similar to the Seagull S6, as Norman is a member of the Godin family) which has a cedar top and mahogany back/sides, and I prefer to string it up with 80/20's and save the phosphor bronze for my other guitar (spruce/rosewood). Personally, I like either D'Addario's or John Pearse bluegrass stings. These strings have medium gauge strings for the bass strings (E, A, D) and lights for the high strings (G, B, e). I really like to accentuate the bass sound in whatever I play and find these stings are the perfect combo for rhythm while still allowing lighter stings for lead runs. So, in summary, I've found these to work best for my axes:
Norman (Cedar top): D'Addario EJ14 or John Pearse 250LM
Breedlove (Spruce top): D'Addario EJ19 or John Pearse 650LM
As with most things guitar, to each one's own, so I'd suggest trying out a bunch of brands and see what you like best.
When you say "you took it to have it properly set up" what do you mean? I have a 30 year old Yamaha that i use at the camp. I read your comment and decided after 30 years i should take it in and get it "set up" The Luthier looked at me like i had grown another nose but kept it for 3 days and said she shaved down the bridge to lower the action. blah blah the action was fine in my opinion. I normally take good care of my guitars. I am just wondering if I am missing something?
Since it is the Harmony, you could practice and make these adjustments yourself! Does it have an adjustable truss rod? And saddle replacement is simple - perhaps filing it down a bit?
Or - like I did with the "high-quality" Windaroo - string it with folk nylons! Especially if the action is "classical-like"...
Thanks y'all. I'm sure I'll be trying a variety of strings over the next months. Will start with the John Pearse strings, then see what I like.
Back to practicing now!
Louis, I have a Coastline S6Spruce top and had been getting a somewhat twangy sound with DAddario phosphor Bronze light so with counsel I tried Martin silk and steel. They have excellent playability and have given a more mellow sound. (although with cedar top you may already have very mellow sound.) Terry

|Offensive Tackle
|Buena Vista, Colo.
|High School:
|Buena Vista
|3 Letters
AT COLORADO: Career Notes-The first offensive tackle at Colorado to earn All-America honors since 1979 (Stan Brock), he became the first-ever to garner consensus All-America honors at the position for the Buffaloes. He played 2,540 out of a possible 2,542 plays on offense his sophomore through senior seasons; of those, exactly 1,400 were called passing plays, and he allowed just five sacks those three years. He allowed 21 pressures overall (14 as a sophomore), so the man he was blocking influenced a pass play 26 times in those 1,400 plays, or just 1.8 percent of his career. He was 6-7½ and 245 pounds when he arrived at CU as a true freshman in 2006. Invited to play in the Senior Bowl in January 2011.
2010 (Sr.)-CU's starting left tackle, once again starting all 12 games and playing all 847 snaps on offense and was one of CU's four co-captains, as selected by his teammates; they also selected him as the recipient of the Zack Jordan Award as the team's most valuable player. One of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, he was a consensus All-American, afforded the honor from four of the five the NCAA recognizes for that status: Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp. He also earned All-America honors from ESPN.com, Pro Football Weekly, Sports Illustrated and Phil Steele's College Football. A unanimous first-team All-Big 12 Conference performer, the league coaches selected him as the league's Offensive Lineman of the Year. He was named the Male College Athlete of the Year by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, and also garnered first‐team All‐Colorado honors from the state's NFF chapter. He had the best year of all the CU linemen in 2010 and likely since Andre Gurode in 2001, grading out to 94.3 percent for the season, with 799 plus plays out of 847 total. He graded at 90 percent or higher in 11 of 12 games, and cleared 80 percent in the other, at California. He had 18 knockdown/finish blocks three times (CSU, Hawai'i and Kansas State) and had 15 against the vaunted Nebraska defense, with a team-high 142 total (at least six in all 12 games). He also had 10 touchdown blocks, allowed just one quarterback sack and three pressures while being flagged for just one penalty. He was CU's most decorated in the preseason since 2006 (PK Mason Crosby), with his top honor being named to the prestigious Playboy Preseason All-America team; he also earned first-team honors from The Kickoff and Consensus Draft Services, second-team mention from Lindy's Big 12 Football and Phil Steele's College Football, and third-team from Athlon and CFI. A unanimous preseason All-Big 12 selection, in addition to being one of 63 players on the original watch list for the Outland, he was one of 87 on the list for the Lombardi Award and one of 30 for the Lowe's Senior Class Award (for the top senior, on and off the field). Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 72 player overall (all positions) in the nation. ESPN.com ranked him as the No. 5 "freak" in the nation as far as conditioning is concerned; with less than 8 percent body fat on his frame, he power-cleaned 415 pounds (for three reps), hang-cleaned 473 (also three reps), owned a 4.88 time in the 40 and a 32-inch vertical jump. Those numbers helped him earn the team's Iron Buffalo Award for the second straight year for all offensive linemen. He was also a co-recipient of the team's Greg Biekert Award for attention to detail.
2009 (Jr.)-Started all 12 games at left tackle, playing 850 snaps on offense (all but two of the team total). He earned first-team All-Big 12 honors from the league coaches (honorable mention from the Associated Press), and was a fourth-team All-American by College Football Insiders; he also earned first-team All-Colorado honors from the state's chapter of the National Football Foundation.
He graded out to exactly 90.0 percent for the season, a team-best, and over 80 percent for all 12 games and 90 percent or better seven times; his top grade was 96 percent at Oklahoma State. He also led the team with 97 finishing/knockdown blocks and seven touchdown blacks. He allowed just three quarterback sacks and four pressures, while being called for five penalties. He was named for the second straight year as one of the recipients of the team's Gold Group Commitment Award which recognizes excellence with class in a variety of areas. For spring practice, he was the recipient of the John Wooten Award for outstanding work ethic, and was the Iron Buffalo Award winner among the offensive lineman, given to those at each position who represent hard work, dedication, toughness and total poundage lifted in the weight room.
2008 (Soph.)-He moved from tight end to tackle for spring practice (adding 30 pounds to his frame for the position switch), and adapted quite well to his new position to the point where he assumed the starting role at the key spot to protect the blindside for right-handed quarterbacks: left tackle. He started all 12 games in playing every snap on offense (843), matched by just one other player. He graded out to 80 percent or better six times and 90 percent or higher three times, including the best single-game grade by any CU lineman for the year, an amazing 98.8 percent against Kansas State, the highest by a CU lineman since 1990. He was CU's offensive player of the week for that Kansas State game, and the team's lineman of the week for the Iowa State contest. He was led all linemen with 69 knockdown blocks and added three touchdown blocks while allowing just one sack. He was also named one of the recipients of the team's Gold Group Commitment Award which recognizes excellent with class in several areas of school, community and life in general.
2007 (Fr.-RS)-He played in all 13 games including the Independence Bowl, making four regular season starts. He was utilized on special teams and on offense, where he was primarily as a blocking tight end. He did catch three passes for 50 yards, a 16.7 average, with all the grabs coming in the Miami-Ohio game. He earned seven special team points, on the strength of three tackles, one inside-the-20, and three knockdown blocks. He added 25 pounds to his frame since arriving at CU, but it's not affected his speed.
2006 (Fr.)-Redshirted; practiced all fall at tight end, and was a key scout team performer. His teammates selected him for the Special Teams Scout Award acknowledging his effort and commitment.
HIGH SCHOOL-Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 45 tight end in the nation as the eighth overall prospect in the state of Colorado. He earned first-team all-state (2A) honors on both sides of the ball: by the Rocky Mountain News at tight end, and from the Denver Post at linebacker. He was a two-time, first-team All-Tri-Peaks League performer, at both positions as a senior and on defense as a junior. He was a two-year starter at tight end and middle linebacker, twice being named the most outstanding linebacker in the Tri-Peaks League; he started at defensive end as a sophomore and saw significant action as the backup tight end. As a senior, he had 31 receptions for 513 yards and eight touchdowns (and ran one reverse for a short game in the state playoffs), with 118 tackles, 76 solo, five for losses including two sacks, and a fumble recovery. He caught 24 balls for 276 yards and four scores as a junior, when he racked up 94 tackles (66 solo, three for losses with one sack) and made two interceptions. As a sophomore, he had seven catches for 110 yards and one touchdown, while making 44 tackles (31 solo, three sacks) with five fumble recoveries. He saw spot action late in the year on the varsity as a freshman. For his career, he caught 62 passes for 899 yards and 13 touchdowns, while recording 256 tackles (173 solo, 83 assists) with six quarterback sacks and six fumble recoveries. Top games as a senior: in a 62-28 win over Salida, he caught four passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns; in a 41-14 victory over Lamar, he had two receptions for 94 yards, both touchdowns (50 and 44 yards), along with 11 tackles on defense (eight solo); and in a 17-14 win over Kent Denver in the state semifinals, he had 15 tackles, including 10 solo stops. Under long-time coach Bob Marken, Buena Vista posted a combined 27-4 record in his three full seasons on the varsity: 12-1 his senior year, losing in the state finals to Holy Family; and 8-1 his junior and 7-2 his sophomore seasons, losing in the first round both times; BVHS won the Tri-Peaks League title all three seasons. He also lettered three times in basketball at center, averaging 15 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior when BVHS was the league and district champ, and lettered twice in baseball, playing first base and pitching (right-hander).
ACADEMICS-He graduated with a degree in Biology in May 2010 (with a 3.52 grade point average); he took postgraduate classes toward a second major in integrative physiology during his final semester. One of 16 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes for 2010 and the recipient of an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, he was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy (considered the "Academic" Heisman). His scholarship was sponsored by the National Football League, and while in New York for the NFF ceremony, he had the privilege of meeting NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. He earned first-team Academic All-Big 12 honors as a redshirt freshman, sophomore, junior and senior, and also attained CoSIDA Academic All-District status his junior and senior years. He was the recipient of CU's Dean Jacob Van Ek Award for academic excellence for the 2008 and 2010 seasons. He boasted a 3.93 GPA in high school, was a member of the National Honor Society and a regular honor roll student his entire prep career. The Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame named him one of 11 Scholar-Athletes for 2005. He earned academic all-state honors his sophomore through senior years, with his high school, Buena Vista, the team state champion in 2003. He was a member of the National Art Honor Society and was the Optimist Student of the Year for 2005-06.
PERSONAL-Born April 12, 1988 in Denver. His hobbies include kayaking, rafting, fishing, skiing and reading. An older brother (John) played outside linebacker for Stanford until suffering a career-ending neck injury. A fairly accomplished artist (paintings and sculptures), some of his work earned all-state honors in high school. He also has done a fair share of community service, including coaching Pee Wee basketball and speaking to the entire Buena Vista elementary school student body; he has been a student aide and mentor to many of their students. Buena Vista is a small mountain community (population 2,500) and is located at about 8,000 feet above sea level between Leadville and Salida. Following Christmas 2009, he traveled to Guatemala and volunteered at an orphanage; as a sophomore, he went to Italy during the summer to help rebuild a town after it suffered many collapses from an earthquake. At CU, he regularly participates in the "Read with the Buffs" and "Buffalo Hugs" programs. (Last name is pronounced sold-er.)

|Newlee adds third signee
MOSCOW, Idaho - Idaho women's basketball coach Jon Newlee has finalized his early period signing class with the addition of Krissy Karr, a 5-foot-6 point guard from Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif.
Karr averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game for the Lancers as a junior last season, and earned All-Trinity League and All-CIF Section honors. She has also made the Dean's List all three years of high school.
"Krissy is great in the open floor and in an up-tempo game," Newlee said. "She's great at pushing the ball up and she has excellent vision as well. I think she is a really good passer and an excellent outside shooter and she gives us great perimeter defense."
Karr is the third early signee for Newlee, joining Tayler Weiks of Tumwater, Wash., and Jenny Rocha of O'Fallon, Mo., who signed with the Vandals last week.

The state of automation in materials handling
December 15, 2010 - MMH Editorial
In August, Modern featured Office Depot's new distribution center in Newville, Pa., on the cover. At the heart of the DC is an integrated piece-picking solution that combines mobile robots for high-density storage and conveyance; light-directed picking to ensure that the associate picks the right item; and a high-speed conveyor and sortation system to get the product to the packing zone.
While this level of automation has been common on high-speed assembly lines for years, it represents a new level of sophistication in distribution. Although the technology allows Office Depot to get a significant amount of throughput from a relatively small labor force, labor savings within the four walls of the DC wasn't the primary driver behind choosing a highly automated system.
Rather, the solution represents a broader supply chain play; it is an enabling technology that will allow Office Depot to completely retool the way inventory is replenished at the stores serviced by that DC. "We believe that the future belongs to the brave," Brent Beabout, Office Depot's vice president of global network strategy and transportation, told Modern. "We are in a commodity business and the supply chain is a differentiator. We plan to be on the front end of that."

The verdict is in on the Khloe and Lamar E! reality television series. It's not bad.
No one gave the Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom and his reality star wife Khloe Kardashian much of a chance after their surprising wedding came just after one month of dating. And although it's still early, these two seem to have a genuine affection for each other.
Yes, I know the last thing the world needs is another Kardashian reality show. But I have to admit that when I met the couple at the Orlando launch of their "Unbreakable" fragrance, these two emote a certain charisma.
In this clip from Khloe and Lamar's E! reality show, Lamar shows his wife why he keeps a distant relationship with his money-grubbing father. Sad part is that this is an all too common tale for professional athletes.

The winter holidays can be filled with family fun, parties and laughter. At the same time, the busy holiday schedule, along with family expectations, can create tension and stress. Jan Johnson, a psychologist at CU-Boulder's office of Counseling and Psychological Services, offers some tips on how to deal with holiday stress.
Dec. 1, 2011
The winter holidays can be filled with family fun, parties and laughter. At the same time, the busy holiday schedule, along with family expectations, can create tension and stress.
Any one of a number of factors can contribute to holiday stress, says Jan Johnson, a psychologist at CU-Boulder's office of Counseling and Psychological Services. Her advice for people who have experienced stress in the past is to think of positive alternatives to deal with their anxieties.
CUT 1 "If you know in the past that you have had some kind of reaction to the holidays and it's been stressful, to really try something a little bit differently this year and to do something that you feel like is going to be really positive for you. (:18) Look at what your needs are around the holidays rather than trying to please everyone in your family." (:24)
Another stress trigger point is dealing with family issues, says Johnson. She says living up to family expectations, especially if they bring up painful memories, can leave one feeling anxious and even angry. Johnson says people need to be realistic about their expectations during the holidays.
CUT 2 "Be very realistic about your family. I think most of us, having spent numerous years around our family members, we really know what to expect. (:12) We know what our family members are like. Just because it's a certain time of year doesn't mean that they will act any differently or be any different with us." (:23)
Excessive behavior during the holidays is another cause of stress for many people, says Johnson. Spending too much money on gifts or eating too much food or drinking too much alcohol causes anxiety for many people, says Johnson.
CUT 3 "Try to act in moderation around everything, around your spending, around your consumption of food and alcohol, (:12) and know that if your are excessive in those areas it's going to bring on additional stress." (:21)
Thanksgiving through the New Year is the most stressful time of the year to travel, according to Johnson. Her advice is if you decide to travel then keep your options open.
CUT 4 "Try to figure out while I'm there what are some of the kinds of things you can do that will be kind of stress reducing. (:07) Do I have some close friends or a good support group there in the town where I can spend time with people who have a really positive impact on me? (:22) Is there a health club where maybe you can go get some exercise?

If the holidays are stressing you out you are not alone, according to Johnson. She says December is one of the busiest times of the year in the mental health field. To help keep those holiday blues away Johnson says to know your limits and schedule time for yourself.

The 'hactivist group' Anonymous have revealed that the BNP have links to American extremist group the American Third Position, a far-right white supremacist party which was founded in 2010.
From The Guardian:
"Hacked emails from a far-right group appear to reveal links with the BNP, after the group of American "hactivists" Anonymous targeted a number of US extremists' websites.
"The group infiltrated the site of American Third Position, a white nationalist political group, in a campaign ironically dubbed "Operation Blitzkrieg", publishing emails in which it praised the BNP leader, Nick Griffin.
"In one January 2010 email from "WhiteNewsNow" with the subject "Your Beautiful Pontoon Bridge", Griffin is described as "probably the most effective white activist in the world today".
"The links between the two groups appear to be current. Former BNP leadership contender Andrew Brons is mentioned in an email titled "minutes for leadership phone conference January 7, 2012".
"It states: "Next Meeting: Andrew Brons, Member of European Parliament and no. 2 in BNP, will be joining our phone conference. He has expressed enthusiasm about Merlin's [Merlin Miller, the party's nominee for the 2012 presidential election] presidential campaign. We must be prepared ahead of time by subject matter, questions and inquiring director."
"A spokesman for the BNP could not confirm or deny whether the party had links or was in contact with American Third Position. "We don't know if [Andrew Brons] had contact with them over the phone. If he did we don't see what the issue is, he's a popular MEP. If he spoke to them he's been elected to speak to people and share ideas, we speak to everyone including Muslim groups."
"Anonymous – a collective of hackers without any centralised authority – published thousands of personal emails, forum messages and personal details of members under the banner "Good Night, White Pride".
I"n a statement, the hackers denounced American Third Position as "racist losers" who "try hard to maintain a professional public image to camouflage their vile racism [...] we're now airing all their dirty laundry all over the internet."
This is not the first time that British far right groups have been found to be linked with far right groups across the Atlantic. In 2010 it was revealed that the English Defence League has been establishing links with the American Tea Party movement. The leader of the group, Stop the Islamisation of America, Pamela Geller, is a strong admirer of the EDL, and has encouraged the Stop the Islamisation of Europe movement on the continent.

Obama's business request
September 19, 2013
As Congress approaches a potential showdown on raising the nation's borrowing limit, President Barack Obama is asking some of the country's top corporate executives to help him work with Republican....
Veritas, you can take Peter King and I'll take the moderate/conservative Democrats.
Now, back to the game of ACA Political Hardball...

WA Post 7-23-13
"The landmark health-reform law passed in 2010 has never been very popular and always highly partisan, but a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that a group of once loyal Democrats has been steadily turning against Obamacare: Democrats who are ideologically moderate or conservative.
"Just after the law was passed in 2010, fully 74 percent of moderate and conservative Democrats supported the federal law making changes to the health-care system. But just 46 percent express support in the new poll, down 11 points in the past year. Liberal Democrats, by contrast, have continued to support the law at very high levels – 78 percent in the latest survey. Among the public at large, 42 percent support and 49 percent oppose the law, retreating from an even split at 47 percent apiece last July."

Veritas, there is no need to bring up the word "candidate" today unless we talk about one who seems to always be campaigning and could be deemed "the eternal candidate." Do you want to go there?
Did you know there ARE people in office now, today, that have been there at least .5 years or more? MANY are Democrats duly elected and willing to represent their constituents.
I find it INTERESTING INDEED to see DC gridlock, inaction, fecklessness, lack of confidence, continuing economic woes, (etc. into infinity), blamed on ONE party when there are more than ONE party represented in DC. Now why is that? CAN you tell us?
BTW, thanks for remaining true to yourself and your party, Veritas. Knew I could count on you.

Whistler: First they spent endless money to keep him from winning the presidency--then they ask him to approve a highly questionable and risky pipeline. Smart? Yes we import mideast oil and Canadaian and more. We also export oil. Smart? Ethanol has it's problems yes--by it does reduce our demand on oil. The gas they use to mix with ethanol is so low quality it takes the alcohol to get it up to 85 octane and make an engine run. The left over mash from making the stuff is used as animal feed. You better check that 30 day storage statement. The warnings are for over winter. Boat motors should not be stored over winter with alcohol--is that because they refuse to keep up with other egnine makers? Marksism? What do you call the grip oil has on us. It is a form of Fascism.

"With all of the vast known oil reserves, $3.69 gas is nearly treason. That is why we have subsidies for ethonol, hydrogen and electric cars, solar innovation and more."
Ethanol is NOT an oil equivalent. Its stability is far less than oil. Ethanol blended gasoline lasts 30 days tops, even with stabilizers added. Look it up.
In order to be energy efficient, one would have to upgrade to a flex fuel vehicle or one similarly equipped for ethanol or ethanol blends. How many families can afford the price of a new vehicle nowadays, on top of the high gas prices?
As only one of the energy alternatives subsidized AND ITS USE MANDATED by our gov't, ethanol's track record has been spotty at best. Ethanol mandates have sent corn prices through the roof all over the world. Does higher priced corn help the world's hungry people?
Legislators and regulators should think things through before subsidies and mandates are enacted.

Well get ready to be shocked. Rick Santorum said the Govt. can't do anything right. Obama said if you started a business--you didn't build that alone. You didn't put in the streets with water, sewer and electrical. You depend on a bank, police and fire protection and much more. The USGS found the Bakken oil. Ethanol is because oil has the world in a stranglehold. Obamacare is because medical costs and quality are unacceptable. An appendectomy may cost $3k or $30k. Our red powers favor large business of which there are many fewer than small bus. You need to give business more credit. Obama wants a thriving economy and they know it. Reds want ideology and obstructionism as of late. The failure of reds to produce ideas or act in the last 5.5 years sets the stage for the next elections--prepare to be shocked.

"The Federal Reserve is the Central Bank of United States of America. It is responsible for printing the U.S. dollars & much more. The reason for Federal Reserve's existence is to maintain price stability and maximum employment.
"The Federal Reserve (and other Central Banks) have been 'printing' money in recent years under various code-names, including Quantitive Easing (QE 1, 2, & 3), LTRO, SMP, TWIST, TARP and TALF, in order to bring unemployment down & speed up the economy. This article explains the failure behind the current money printing scheme and how banks, not people, get the money."

Gotta love all your miss information. The Texas government has been a mess ever since Bush and Delay took over and is still a mess. By the way, is Perry still wanting to secede from the Union? You did not read the rulings did you. Ha, that was a given. Now, we change the subject again. It shows that if you have money, influential friends and are a Republican, you can get away with anything in Texas.

And just maybe it was a violation of the law. But, it is Texas justice and we all know that politics prevails in Texas decisions. The vote was 2-1 with two Republican justices voting for. Well, let me see, Justice Goodwin (R)was found guilty of violating campaign finance laws in her own campaign, so what is a little mess with DeLay. But, then the chief justice of the Texas court appointed a third justice from another court (the 9th district) to be added to the 3 district specifically to handle DeLay's case. Of course he is a Republican. So, Texas justice is just what it is purported to be, slanted to the political core. Oh, and the reasoning in the decisions are amazing. You should read them, Dusty. But, since your comprehension is non-existant, you won't get anything out of it.

The lession here, of course, is that it's poor advice to go out of your way to malign a certain group of people for short-term political gain. It might have worked for his 2012 reelection campaign, but now he'll have serious credibility problems when he comes begging for help from the same people be freely cursed a mere 12-18 months before.
I don't expect him to learn this lession or to come away with an enlarged perspective of human relations and reality.

Harrington Police, responding to a domestic dispute call May 7 arrested a local man after he became disorderly and cursed at the officers.
The incident took place in the 100 block of Dorman Street, said department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode. During their investigation, police determined no laws had been broken and made no arrests.
As they were leaving, however, an individual who had been involved in the dispute, identified as Robert W. Barmer Jr., 32, became disorderly and started cursing at the officers, Brode said. Barmer, who appeared to be intoxicated, ignored several requests to cease his actions and was arrested, he said.
Barmer was issued a criminal summons for disorderly conduct and released.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Razberriez Slats are too wide so it hurts your feet! I was super excited to buy this and try it out. In theory it would be amazing, but the slats are so wide it hurts to stand on. I thought maybe I was being sensitive so at first I went online to read these reviews and they were all positive. Therefore, I second guessed myself. Then today, I had my husband stand on it to see what he thought... (he had no idea I already hated it), He was like 'Ouch, it hurts!' I'm glad he agreed. It's going straight back to the store. I am going to spend more money for a better quality one and also, rounder corners would be nice, I hit my foot on the corners a couple of times. May 29, 2014

Still, we didn't give up on the idea to organize a little college sex party with sex-hungry girls. All of us chipped in and we managed to scrape up enough to rent a cheap cottage for several hours. There was a big couch and a hookah - what else do you need for a wild sex party? Probably the girls expected something more chic, but…
This is the merry company of students that is always looking for something new and exciting, for real fun and entertainment! They like being together and it's no wonder they have gathered this weekend. Hurray! The pajamas party is in the full play with its sexy looking girls in tight undies and handsome guys demonstrating the muscle bodies in nothing but delicious pants, with its portions of pop corn and silly but funny games!
It's impossible to organize a really cool college party without games! Playing games brings everyone together, makes the hot college girls relax and forget about boring lectures and endless assignments. This is why I always think of some cool game whenever I'm going to throw a students sex party. There are the obvious options like spin-the-bottle or twister, these games are very sexy and make all players horny as hell in no time. Perfect for a fuck party! But playing the same games every time is boring, and…

I heard that one of them was bisexual and really wanted to meet her. She happened to be a true hottie! Some of us couldn't wait and began dirty action even before we reached the meadow. I was filming blowjob…

Cause those are sex parties, ladies and gentlemen! This time four muscular studs and six pretty girls hooked up to throw a tequila fuck bash at Lina's place! It all started at 7pm, and few shots…

...you have a great idea for a website feature and see many other sites set it up before you?
So as some of you may know, I thought of a nice feature for Pokemon Dream that will allow users to register their Nintendo WiFi Friend Code and put Pokemon up for trade. I got this idea LAST SUMMER, when this type of system did not exist...I began implementing it, but school started too soon. Now, I'm not even close to being done and, every week, I find another site that has implemented this feature already. As I expected, such a system is very much needed and popular.
If only I got it up sooner...just a rant. I'm gonna get back to work on it now. Hopefully I can get it set up soon.

Equipment 101: Automatic guided vehicles basics
September 01, 2011 - MMH Editorial
Of all of the materials handling equipment types in warehouses and distribution centers today, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are arguably among the most dynamic. Over the last few years, the equipment has been evolving and advancing quickly.
"AGVs are moving forward faster than other areas of materials handling," says Mark Longacre, marketing manager for JBT Corp. and chair of the automatic guided vehicle product section at the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA).
Automatic guided vehicles were once an equipment type that served the manufacturing sector, and the automotive industry was king, Longacre explains. Since then, the food and beverage and consumer goods sectors have been stepping up the use of AGVs with vehicle types at both ends of the spectrum, from simple and inexpensive to complex and sophisticated.
So, while conveyors and lift trucks are still the most common materials handling solutions, AGVs are an increasingly viable alternative to both.
"AGVs were originally a simple concept of horizontal transport that was a replacement for conveyor, but they have evolved into a solution," says John Hayes, Dematic's manager of AGV systems. "People are more accepting of the technology and end users want us to push the envelope. We have automatic truck loading and now people want automatic truck unloading. Another application being driven by customers is the freezer application, where businesses want to save cost and don't want to put people in harm's way."
Whether you're working in a manufacturing plant, DC or warehouse, how you move product from point A to point B will impact your operation's throughput, efficiency and bottom line. In the right application, AGVs can redistribute workers to value-added positions, improve safety and material tracking, and reduce product damage and labor costs. AGVs can also be introduced without the need for plant modifications and are flexible enough to adapt to an operation's changing business needs.
That's what AGVs can do, but what are they, exactly? It's a simple question with a complex answer. MHIA defines AGVs as "battery-powered, computer-controlled wheel-based load carriers that run on the plant floor without the need for an onboard operator or driver. AGVs have defined paths or areas within which or over which they can navigate."
While this definition has remained accurate for the last decade and new vehicles can fit within the parameters of the definition, the application of AGVs is expanding. Today's AGV systems are being used in more sectors and are being applied to more diverse, strategic applications.
When considering the right type of AGV system for a specific application, a number of issues come into play, including the type of vehicle, the type of guidance system, the product being moved and the rate of throughput. Here's a look at the basic categories and components that create AGV systems.
AGVs can be organized into a few basic categories.
Tow vehicles, also called tuggers, are the simplest and least expensive type of AGVs. Like a locomotive pulling a train of rail cars, a tugger pulls trailers or carts. Add multiple trailers and a towing capacity of up to 60,000 pounds, and you can move more loads at one time than with a single lift truck. Tow vehicles are used when there is a set, predictable and repeatable path with distinct pick-up and deposit destinations.
Tuggers follow the designated route, stop at a station where workers load or unload material, and then move on to the next station. Since workers are needed to transfer materials, labor is not totally removed from an operation's process. However, the end user can automate the movement of materials between workstations, reducing non-value-added steps and increasing efficiency and productivity.
Unit load vehicles carry pallets, slipsheets, cartons or subassemblies on their decks. The decks can be equipped with:
• lifts that can raise or lower the deck;
• powered or non-powered conveyor to interface with other equipment; or
• multiple compartments to carry two, three or four pallets at a time.
Typically, unit load vehicles are used in a totally automated process. A unit load vehicle with a section of roller conveyor can integrate with a conveyor line, a production area or an automated storage and retrieval system.
Automatic guided carts, or AGCs, also fall under the heading of unit load vehicles. AGCs were originally considered more light duty than AGVs. However, according to Sarah Carlson, marketing director for Daifuku Webb Holding Co. and vice chair of the MHIA's automatic guided vehicle product section, AGCs are now capable of moving loads of up to 6,000 pounds. Additionally, Carlson adds, AGCs are typically less expensive than AGVs, which is one reason they have become so popular. They are easy to install and scalable, enabling users to simply add more carts to increase throughput.
In one example, a unit drives under a cart, raises a pin into a receptacle, pulls the cart to its destination, retracts the pin, then moves to the next delivery. While this type of vehicle has most successfully been applied in manufacturing operations, Keith Soderlund, vice president of sales for Creform, says not to overlook the DCs. A distribution center that's performing kitting operations could employ an AGC. They're easy to control and have smaller on-board control systems can manage up to 50 pathways, with 128 commands in each pathway. The advantage, Soderlund says, is that an operation could have 50 carts in a fleet working off of one drive unit.
Available in a number of different models, including counterbalanced fork and roller conveyor vehicles, AGCs can move up to 160 feet per minute and are also a good option for moving loads to and from stretch wrappers and from conveyors to the warehouse.
Fork truck vehicles operate just like lift trucks, but without drivers. Fork vehicles are popular AGV solutions because they are extremely flexible. Like unit load vehicles, fork truck vehicles can interface with automated systems but also pick up or drop off a load onto the floor.
Forked, or masted, these vehicles can move at a maximum rate of 1.5 meters per second, about 3 mph, or half the speed of a manually operated forklift. According to Longacre, the speed is a function of how quickly the vehicle can stop while maintaining the stability of the load.
Custom vehicles are built around the load and can be engineered to handle very heavy loads like a 120-ton vehicle; long loads like rolls of newsprint paper; or specialized loads like a vehicle designed to handle two different types of pallets or two different sizes of totes.
The key components that define a custom AGV are the gripper devices or attachments that interface with the load. Otherwise, they use the same types of software and guidance systems.
Mobile robotic solutions are a relatively new class of AGVs that also fits in the unit load category. Mobile robots, also referred to as mobile fulfillment systems, are picking up traction in distribution centers and being used for goods-to-person picking, meaning the robots bring the product to the worker, saving time and steps.
"Mobile robotics and automation are creeping into all different parts of materials handling," says Rob Stevens, vice president of strategy for Kiva Systems. "They're all filling different roles even though the technology has similarities," he adds.
Each unit is equipped with a camera that reads the stickers then marries the movement with the facility map that is stored in the memory of the system server.
When the mobile robot reaches its intended destination, it picks up the storage rack by driving underneath, lifting the entire rack off the floor, swiveling to redirect itself, and then moving to its next destination. It raises the rack up about an inch off the floor while it travels, which is enough to clear small obstacles but not enough to make the load unstable.
Some robotic AGVs are capable of handling loads up to 3,000 pounds. The vehicles travel at varying speeds depending on the load being moved. Stevens describes the speed as a brisk walking pace that's maintained for the duration of the task, unlike a worker's pace that's less brisk by the end of a shift.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Ghent University has decided to use Roche's LightCycler® 1536 Instrument in various cancer research projects. Studies include multigene expression signature profiling on cancer research samples and digital PCR for detection of mutant cancer cells in a background of normal cells.
Furthermore, DNA methylation analysis studies, copy number variant screening, and amplicon generation for next-generation sequencing are part of the planned experiments. Ghent researchers also point to one study in particular, which is a qPCR-based transcriptome-wide profiling. In a pilot experiment, Ghent University plans to measure all human genes in the four MAQC reference RNA samples.
The LightCycler® 1536 Instrument supports the combination of two excitation filters with two detection filters, which are optimized for detecting green intercalating dyes as well as monocolor and dual-color hydrolysis probes. This makes optical read-out as specific as possible for chemical detection formats, while reducing the overall complexity of experimental layouts in a high-throughput scenario, according to Roche.
The LightCycler® 1536 Multiwell Plate is a high-density PCR plate for real-time PCR applications. By using Thermaxis® technology, this multiwell plate enables thermal performance in miniaturized reaction volumes of 0.5–2 µL. The plate consists of two components: a thermally conductive unit containing well-like structures for the reaction liquid and an insulating top layer that prevents the heated lid of the instrument from affecting the analysis.

Overview You'll swear you've hit an entirely different country: let the tropical climate get you ready for sun-kissed beaches and crystal blue waters, deserted islands ringed by rainbow-hued coral reefs, verdant jungle trails leading to ancient time-frozen hamlets, and funky port-towns full of laid-back, fun-loving islanders: it's all here welcoming you to Okinawa, Japan's most unique and exciting destination.
Reasons to Go
Hit the Waves: Surfers and diving pros will argue about which beaches are the best, but virtually anywhere you go in Okinawa you'll find sparkling sand, clear water, and a lot of time for R&R.
Secret History: Moving memorials tell a captivating story of the chaos that ravaged this idyllic landscape during World War II's fierce final battle.
Getting Wild: Snorkeling, diving, trekking, sailing, fishing, whale-watching, and kayaking are in your reach in Japan's most pristine and enticing natural vistas.
Local Flavors: Okinawa's food, music, art, and local spirit combine powerful influences from all over Asia and funky homegrown flavors.
Dazzling Reefs: Cresting an underwater ridgeback that divides some of the globe's deepest currents, Okinawa's abundant reefs are home to varied marine life thriving in clear, warm seas.
When to Go
Okinawa enjoys winters most folks dream about but temperatures can be extreme in summer months. Waters are warm and swimmable year-round, but you probably want to come between October and March during the off-season. Thanks to mainland Japan's fairly inflexible vacation system, prices drop and crowds thin out just when the weather turns ideal. The exception is whale-watching season in February, when tourists will make the hustle from Tokyo to Okinawa's Miyako Islands in order to see the spectacle. Try to avoid the rainy season, late May to early July. Arriving to Okinawa in August you'll be mocked by locals for not having gone to Hokkaido instead.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
food revolution, agriculture, obesity
"Even as traditional environmentalism struggles, another movement is rising in its place, aligning consumers, producers, the media and even politicians," Bryan Walsh writes on Time.com today. "It's the food movement, and if it continues to grow it may be able to create just the sort of political and social transformation that environmentalists have failed to achieve in recent years. That would mean not only changing the way Americans eat and the way they farm — away from industrialized, cheap calories and toward more organic, small-scale production, with plenty of fruits and vegetables — but also altering the way we work and relate to one another. To its most ardent adherents, the food movement isn't just about reform — it's about revolution."
Walsh points out that the "food movement" (actually a series of organized smaller movements) has quickly become a measurable force in American society, with thousands of community-supported agriculture programs around the country, more than 6,000 farmers' markets and increased sales of organic food and beverages. Celebrity chefs such as Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, have made local sourcing the norm, and First Lady Michelle Obama has made childhood obesity her signature issue. Why this surge in interest? "Simple: it's about pleasure," Walsh writes. "Before the political games, before worries about dead zones and manure lagoons, before concerns about obesity and trans fat, the food movement arose around a simple principle: food should taste better."
Martha Stewart, in an article on Huffington Post last week, agrees. "I have a noticed a shift in the role that food plays in our lives and in our culture," she writes. "Food has become more than one of life's great pleasures. It has become a signifier of style, too. The notion that 'you are what you eat' extends beyond the virtues of a nutritious, well-balanced diet. These days, it often seems that you are what you purchase in the supermarket or at the farmer's market; your grocery list is a reflection of your values and your identity. Chefs are as celebrated as designers (move over, Armani, here's Batali!) and eating and entertaining have become haute couture: Food is the new fashion."
Stewart lauds statistics showing that cookbook sales have risen 5 percent in a time of declining overall book sales and is heartened by the general public's growing interest in their meals' origins. "What's in your pantry and on your plate have become a form of self-expression much like a fabulous pair of Christian Louboutins, or absolutely anything vintage," she writes. "Just as the label 'fashionista' evokes an entire lifestyle, so, too, does the term 'foodie.' The terms are not mutually exclusive, of course."
