The Magal was a short-lived Israeli variant. It used a modified Micro-Galil receiver wrapped in a plastic shell, with a short barrel chambered in .30 Carbine. It was sort of like a Krinkov, except intended for police and security forces.
Apparently the Israelis weren't satisfied with the design, and dropped it after a brief run. A handful of parts kits made it over here, but like the Krinkov, the Magal would be an NFA SBR in its original configuration.
Of course, the key part of building a Magal is the plastic stock assembly. I found two vendors that have them, one for $99, one for $135. The second claimed to have thousands of them in stock.
You could build a Magal as a pistol build, and you could do it in 7.62x25. Or you could build it as a full length rifle, and maybe SBR it later.
Naturally, as soon as I had my wondrous idea, a quick tour of the search engines showed it had been done before.
Blackthorne's web site shows a Romanian AK with a Magal stock. They cut away part of the magwell to clear the magazine (5.45 or 5.56), and it looks like they cut away the side for a regular AK selector instead of the Micro Uzi left-side lever. I would have thought fitting a straight Romanian receiver in a shell made for a slant-cut Galil would have been a problem, but apparently the Israelis left enough room.

News: PCC Women's Swim Best Finish Ever, Placed No. 8 At State Meet
No season in the history of Pasadena City College women's swimming compares to the just completed 2013 campaign. The Lancers caught fire at the CCCAA State Championships as its tiny 4-swimmer contingent scored the highest state finish in school history in eighth place. The event took place April 25-27 at the East Los Angeles College Swim Stadium.
The Lancers set 14 school records this year and added to their top 10 state finish with the highest placing ever in an individual event. Shannon Cheung, the South Coast Conference Swimmer of the Year, took second in the 200-yard individual medley on Friday.
Cheung broke the school record in the event with an outstanding 2:06.58. The Lancers would later place sixth in the 200 medley relay with another PCC record of 1:51.64. In that race, Cheung opened with a new PCC record of 28.03 in the 50-yard backstroke. Frederick won the consolation title or B final race in the 50 back, but her time of 28.10 while her personal best fell just short of Cheung's mark.
On the meet's final day Saturday, Cheung secured a seventh place medal with non-school record 1:00.32 in the 100 backstroke. It was then Frederick's turn to grab the spotlight again when she swam a new PCC standard taking a fifth place medal in the 100 freestyle of 52.38. It was the third time this season that Frederick broke that event's record. Basham again scored 12th in the 100 breaststroke at 1:09.60. She did not catch her own school record in that event.
And the season would end fittingly enough with a school record swim in the 400 freestyle relay as the Lancers' "Fearless Four" of Cheung, Basham, Paige Watroba, and Frederick rang up a sixth place medal at 3:38.60.
PCC finished with seven top 8 medals and three consolation B Final heat victories.
"For all the great performances turned in by both Shannon and Emily, we couldn't do any of this without Paige swimming her best splits of the year, and Arolyn going after it during the relays," said a proud PCC head coach Terry Stoddard at the conclusion of the meet.
"The best thing to happen to Shannon was having that first setback in her first prelims race. After that, she brought her performance to the highest level. She came a hand touch away from winning the 200 IM. Emily is such a talent that she showed here that she more than belongs with some of the best swimmers in the state. What's great about this group is that they acted the same here like they would in any other meet. That's important in being focused on wanting to compete. This was an incredible group of swimmers."

thats wat i'm waitin 4
First dunk contest I ever watched live!
Go Nate
thats wat i'm waitin 4
almost had a heart attack all 5 streams on justintv got taken down when the 3pt contest ended, sat through all that crap luckily found a link elsewhere
I don't know why they never bring back Vince Carter to the competition.He was the best out of everyone.
That first Howard dunk was a solid 44 and nothing more.
They didnt announce he was hurt did they? Hopefully he's prepping something, he didn't look hurt...
I sooooooooooo want to see Nate dunk on that 12 foot basket... that would be ridiculous!
To me it looks like NBA knew who is going to win way in advance.
Yeah...why couldn't he step on Eddy Curry or Jarome James...Hell even Jefferies? I don't thik he is hurt. I think that is getting ready for the finals! Go Nate!!!
Well he would definitely win the slam dunk contest if he could dunk on the 12 foot basket.
Only one player in the league can dunk on a 12 ft rim, and that is Dwight Howard...
he is wearing the st patrick's day jersey

Study Abroad
MSU Law's two newest study abroad programs focus on IP and law and informatics. Both programs offer a global perspective on the practice of law in the 21st century, and join the menu of existing programs in Canada, Japan, and Poland.
The Intellectual Property (IP) Summer Institute in Rijeka and Dubrovnik, Croatia, offers an in-depth study of the challenges of establishing new IP regimes in integrating economies, such as Croatia's. American and Croatian students explore copyright, patent, and cyber law from an international perspective in Rijeka and the walled port of Dubrovnik—a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site.
The 21st Century Law Practice Summer Program in London, England, is a first-of-its-kind, intensive study of technology, innovation, deregulation, entrepreneurship, and the global legal marketplace. Co-sponsored by the Westminster University School of Law, the program examines new delivery models in the wake of the recent deregulation of legal services in the United Kingdom and prepares students for the technology-infused law jobs of the 21st century

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jemma I second the first reviewer. My mom, who is very nitpicky about her jewelry and has an eye for things was staring at my necklace and when I had asked what was wrong, she asked if it was real gold. Quite flattered! It doesn't have that same shiny bright gold coloring as other, erm, Made In China, costume jewelry. The color is a very soft SOLID warm gold. Apparently good enough to have my mom question it! And she only wears the real thing! So I'm extremely happy and satisfied. I've had it for a few weeks and it hasn't changed color, not that I've noticed. But I think it's pretty great for the value and I just might buy another. I'm surprised though that they bumped up the price online. I did notice, when I first bought it, that it was cheaper online than the price listed on the product when it was in my hands. But now it's higher online so I'm wondering if it's higher instore too. May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by invisiblegenius Perfect I have had this necklace for about six months now and I still love it. Perfect length, perfect color, perfect design. It works well layered and alone. It has darkened slightly, but not in an unpleasant way, and the metal never had that glossy, too-bright look that cheap jewelry so often has. Similar styles sell elsewhere for triple or more. Just buy it! At this price you can't go wrong. January 9, 2014

Whose School Is Coolest?Many young people see environmental problems -- especially global warming -- as the moral challenge of their generation. And a lot of colleges and universities have responded by pledging to become carbon neutral and taking other environmentally responsible steps. But whether you're a bright-eyed freshman or a grizzled alumnus, you might wonder how your school stacks up. Sierra magazine recently looked at the nation's colleges and picked ten schools that do it right, based on everything from clean-energy purchases and green-building policies to bike facilities and dorm food.
Should your school should have made the list? Let us know what you think on our "How Green is Your Campus" Facebook page.

Stopping the Coal Rush -- One Plant at a Time Coal-fired power plants are one of our nation's largest -- and dirtiest -- sources of energy. Although these plants already produce about half of our electricity, there are plans on the drawing board to build more than 150 new ones in the next few years. The Sierra Club is working to make sure that doesn't happen. From Alaska to Arizona and Kansas City to Washington, D.C., grassroots activism and hard-nosed legal work have helped us win a series of major victories against Big Coal in recent months.
Is one of these proposed plants near you? Find out by checking our interactive "Stopping the Coal Rush" map.

Transit on TopThe Sierra Club was involved in a couple of recent anti-transit ballot initiatives at opposite ends of the country -- one in Seattle, and the other in Charlotte, N.C. Happily, in both cases good old-fashioned on-the-ground organizing won the day. Voters in Seattle and Charlotte made the connection between sound transit policies and global warming. Said Sierra Club organizer Kathleen Ridihalgh of Seattle's Proposition 1: "This is the first major public works proposal I know of to be defeated because it would worsen global warming."

ZF-8486: Zend_Db_Table->getRow() fails due to incorrect check in seek method
When using Zend_Db_Table for fetching data from certain row from DB table Zend Framework ncorrectly checks range of available/seekable positions in Zend_Db_Table_Rowset_Abstract::seek() on line 323 and throws exception "Illegal index is ...".
The solution is to change condition which triggers exception with fixing comparison from grather or equal to grather.
if ($position < 0 || $position >= $this->_count) { ...
if ($position < 0 || $position > $this->_count) { ...
The issue still exists on 1.9.7, already checked!
This happens when you apply a foreach (for example) on a rowset and then try to get a particular row of this same rowset. After the foreach, the Iterator index is left at the end, after the last element (max(index)+1). The getRow() method fails to seek back to the former index because it simply doesn't exists in the Iterator. Happens in 1.10.0.
Still exists on 1.10.0
I'm looking into this today
The issue is actually not in seek(), seek() seems to be preforming the proper checks. I think the problem you are experiencing is using getRow().
Currently, when you iterate over a rowset, after iteration the internal pointer is set to point beyond the final row of the rowset. While this pauses no general issue with iteration, it will cause an issue when you call getRow($count-1, false), where false is whether or not to seek() BACK to the pointers original position, which of course if invalid.
I'll have to research if having a pointer point beyond the bounds after iteration is really what we want. In the mean time, try to rewind() the rowset after use to avoid any issues with getRow() trying to seek to an invalid position.
Adding patch for unit test.
The fix for the illegal index is if ($seek == true) { $this->seek($key); }
The problem is a simple out of range checking, as proposed on the issue.
If you has a Rowset with 4 rows and you check the last on a while loop will assume:
$this->_count = 4 // The last index is 3 (count - 1) $position = 4 // The now working last index, not count - 1
The script:
if ($position < 0 || $position >= $this->_count) {
The result on Issue
if (4 < 0 || 4 >= 4) { TRUE
if ($position < 0 || $position > $this->_count) {
The result
if (4 < 0 || 4 > 4) { FALSE
It NOT throws an Exception and assuming the last pos is 4, and not 3 ( count - 1 ).
And Ralph, do the unit-testing with proposed one, and check! I repeat myself: Its a simple "out of range", the count value is NEVER the last index!
I will agree that calling getRow() after an iteration throwing an exception is a bug. The problem is this: iteration happens, the pointer is left if an invalid state (basically the last element plus 1)- which is the correct behavior in PHP. The problem comes in that getRow() is (wrongly) attempting to leverage seeking and current() to find the desired row. THIS is the wrong thing to do, especially since it will try to restore the seek position after it is done. Since the seek position was invalid to begin off with, it will throw an exception when attempting to restore the seek position to the invalid state.
When you say this:
if ($position < 0 || $position > $this->_count) {
is what should be done, this is wrong. The last valid position is the count - 1, which is why the right hand side is $position >= $this->_count. In other words, if the count is 4, the last valid position is index 3, not 4. This is why we want the exception to be thrown. Put yet another way, the valid range for seek() is 0 to N-1, Not 1 to N.
I have a fix none-the-less. Will apply soon.
Fixed at r23379 in trunk and at r23380 in release branch 1.11

Chief Executive Officer
The Chief Executive Officer is the top-ranking executive officer of a corporation.
Expanded Definition
The CEO is the gal running the whole show. She's ultimately responsible for the economic condition of the company as well as its direction and corporate culture. In a larger public company, the CEO likely will delegate day-to-day decisions to managers and supervisors after receiving policy decisions and overarching goals from the board of directors (who are elected by shareholders). The job description of the CEO can vary by company and some CEOs might be more high-profile than others, such as Apple's Steve Jobs, who is also a co-founder and the distinctive public face of the company.
The CEO is the liaison between the board of directors, who represent shareholders, and the managers of the company. A CEO can also be a member of the board of directors.
You don't need to be able to pick the CEO of your company out of a lineup -- and hopefully you won't have to -- but you want to know about things like her history with the company, her management skills and style, her experience in the industry, whether she's been involved in any scandals, and how much company stock she owns (and whether she's buying or selling it, and why).
Potential investors should also check SEC filings including form DEF 14A or company documents/proxy statements to find out how much the CEO is paid and whether that pay is tied to performance. Executives with compensation that rises with good performance have more incentive to make the company succeed. Are the executives' interests aligned with shareholders'? Compensation can include salary, benefits, bonuses, and stock options. Look to see how your CEO's compensation compares to others in the same industry.
In Europe, the top ranking executive officer is often titled Managing Director.

All-Time Dual Rankings (as of 2013)
TEMPE -The Arizona State University men's and No. 8 women's track and field teams return home for the final time this season as the squad prepares to host in-state rivals Arizona (M:UR;W:3) and Northern Arizona (UR) in the Annual Double Dual at Sun Angel Stadium on Saturday, April 27. The Sun Devil men enter the weekend having won six straight against the WIldcats while the No. 8 women have won 11 of the last 12 against the UA. Saturday field events will begin at 2 p.m. with the women's hammer throw while running events are slated for a 6 p.m. opening gun, starting with the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase. The weekend will also serve to recognize the Sun Devils 14 graduating seniors, who will be competing in their final home competition in the Maroon and Gold.
• The Sun Devil track team returns four first-team outdoor All-Americans (Christabel Nettey) and two second-team All-Americans (Clarke and Bryan McBride)
• Jordan Clarke remains on the Bowerman Watch List (track and field's version of the Heisman) and has won four consecutive NCAA Championships in the shot put, including the 2013 indoor title
• The ASU women finished in the top 10 at the indoor championships for the first time since 2009 while the men posted a top-25 finish for the eighth time in the last 10 years
• The Arizona State women currently have four student-athletes ranked No. 1 in the country in their respective events: Christabel Nettey (long jump), Anna Jelmini (discus) and Chelsea Cassulo (hammer)
• Clarke and Nettey swept the MPSF Athlete of the Meet awards on the men's and women's sides while Greg Kraft was named the MPSF Men's Coach of the year for the second consecutive season
• Two of ASU's longest-standing school records were dropped this past weekend at the Sun Angel Classic, with Christabel Nettey knocking off Jacinta Bartholomew's 24-year old school record in the long jump and Shelby Houlihan taking the reins in the 1,500-meter run in unseeding Priscilla Hein's 14-year old record as well.
• Chelsea Cassulo was named the USTFCCCA National Field Athlete of the Week following her school-record setting performance in the hammer throw at the ASU Invite two weekend's ago
• Cassulo, Nettey and Ryan Herson (5k) have all been named Pac-12 Athletes of the Week with their performances this season
• The Sun Devil men and women currently have 14 times/marks and all four relays ranked in the top-25 nationally this season
Some historians date the series between the Arizona State and UA track and field teams all the way back to 1904 in what has become one of the longest-standing rivalries in the track and field circles when it comes to dual meets. The first scored meet on record came in 1969, where the ASU men knocked off the Wildcats 89-64. The competition was sproradic over the next couple decades before finally becoming a staple in the schedule in 1985 for the men, with the women's rivalry getting started in 1990. NAU was added to the competition during the 1998 season to make it the Double Dual competition that it remains today. ASU leads both series with a record of 21-20-0 against the UA on the men's side and 15-12-0 against the Wildcat women. ASU leads the NAU men in the all-time series, 28-5-1, while leading the women, 22-2-0. The ASU men have won six straight against the Wildcats while the women are winners of two straight and 11 of the last 12 competitions. Neither team has fallen to the Lumberjacks since the 1990s.
A LOOK BACK: Mt. SAC RELAYS
The Sun Devil track and field teams had a small contingent of distance runners at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., last weekend. Ryan Herson was the story of the day as the redshirt freshman crushed his personal best at 5,000 meters by 14 seconds en route to a time of 13:51.00. The redshirt freshman's time currently ranks 15th nationally this season. The time put Herson fourth all-time in ASU history and broke the school freshman record. Derick Hinch also won his section of the pole vault competition at the event.
Over the past 11 years, David Dumble has continued to bring in top talent and build the throws program at Arizona State, which has collected 15 total national titles. ASU continues to build on that legacy as Jordan Clarke successfully defending his indoor title in the shot put and has now won four straight NCAA Championships in the event. During the 2013 indoor season, Arizona State was the only program at the Division I level to have four athletes ranked in the top-26 nationally in all four different throwing events. The outdoor season has gotten off to a strong start for ASU as well with Chelsea Cassulo the current NCAA leader in the hammer throw, Clarke ranked eighth in the hammer throw and 22nd in the discus and will make his outdoor shot put debut this weekend. Anna Jelmini sits first in the discus and 11th in the shot put.
Ryan Whiting could do. Clarke has a chance to win five consecutive NCAA shot put titles by the conclusion of his senior year. The reigning NCAA Champion indoors and outdoors, Clarke won his fourth-straight NCAA title at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a mark of 20.50m (67-03.25) and now sets his sights on a third-straight outdoor title. Should Clarke win out this year, he would become just the second individual in NCAA history to win five consecutive NCAA titles in the shot put. Only Kansas' Karl Salb, who won every shot put title from 1969 to 1971, would have a better a record after winning six titles during his tenure as a Jayhawk. Clarke is a man of many talents, however, and currently ranks eight nationally in the hammer throw and 22nd in the discus after setting personal bests in both events at the Sun Angel Classic.
Junior Anna Jelmini became a three-time All-American in the shot put indoors with her fifth-place finish in the event at the NCAA Indoor Championships . With the effort, Jelmini opened the door to match Sarah Stevens as the lone Sun Devil in school history with four straight first-team All-America honors. Heading into the outdoor season, Jelmini is the two-time defending NCAA runner-up and two-time defending Pac-12 Champion in the discus throw. Jelmini set a new career-best in a Sun Devil uniform at the Mesa Classic this past weekend with a mark of 60.61m (198-10) and she also ranks 11th nationally in the shot put competition. The throw was the 10th-best in NCAA history and garnered Jelmini recognition on the Watch List for the Bowerman award, given annually to the top male and female track and field athletes at the NCAA level.
Chelsea Cassulo is fast-becoming one of the best transfer pick-ups in recent history for the Sun Devils. The former UNLV standout finished fourth in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a mark of 21.23m (69-08.00) - the third-best mark in ASU history. Oddly enough, that's not even her best event. Cassulo was named the USTFCCCA Field Athlete of the Week following the ASU Invite after set ting a new school record in the hammer throw with a mark of 69.80m (229-00). The throw was the eighth-best individual throw in NCAA history and the 15th-best throw ever at the NCAA Division I level. Cassulo followed the performance with three throws over 68 meters at the Sun Angel Classic, finishing second only to Olympian Jessica Cosby.
Before the 2012 season, head coach Greg Kraft believe that one of the team's dark horses this season could be incoming vaulter Derick Hinch, a transfer from Cuesta College. Hinch went on to take third at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, becoming just the second Sun Devil to ever clear 18 feet and doing it twice on the season. He became just the second Sun Devil in indoor history to clear 18 feet indoors behind Olympian Nick Hysong with a season's best of 5.50m (18-00.50) this year, earning All-America honors with a sixth-place finish indoors.
One of the key pieces to the Arizona State women's effort this season has been senior Christabel Nettey. Nettey was an absolute monster at the MPSF Championships, winning all three events she was entered in and scoring 30 points toward the team cause and earning herself MPSF Athlete of the Meet honors. She set the school indoor long jump record with a mark of 6.55m (21-06.00) and a runner-up effort at the indoor championships. The mark was actually equivalent to the winning jump but Nettey had to settle for second in the tiebreaking process. Nettey came out guns blazing in her 2013 outdoor long jump opener at the Sun Angel Classic, which featured a rematch against Geubelle, as she set the nation's leading mark in a winning performance with two leaps of 6.75m (22-01.75). The performance knocked off Jacinta Bartholomew's 24-year-old school record in the event, matched a Sun Angel Stadium venue record and was the third-best jump in the history of the Pac-12 Conference. Nettey was named the Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete of the Week for the Performance and currently remains first in the nation in the event. Oh, and as if that were all enough, she also clocked the school's eighth-fastest 100-meter hurdle time in history with a time of 13.42 seconds.
Shelby Houlihan introduced herself to the world last season as she became the first student-athlete in Pac-12 history to sweep the cross country and track and field Newcomer of the Year awards. Houlihan locked up the school record in the indoor 800-meter run this season, earning second-team All-America honor as well while also taking the MPSF title in the mile (where she also owns the school record). Houlihan opened the outdoor season at the ASU Invite with a winning time of 2:04.38, which ranks ninth nationally this season. Houlihan came out and absolutely obliterated the previous school record in the 1,500-meter run at the Sun Angel Classic, clocking a time of 4:13.64 that was three-and-a-half seconds better than Priscilla Hein's former 1999 school record of 4:17 and change. Houlihan's time remains the top mark in the countyr this year.
Senior Keia Pinnick nearly gave ASU two NCAA Champions following the NCAA Indoor Championships, staging a huge comeback over the final two events of the pentathlon to challenge for the title. Pinnick came up just shy, but set a new career best of 4,327 points in the process while breaking school pentathlon records in the 60-meter hurdles, long jump and 800 meters - all marks previous held by Olympian and former NCAA record-holder Jacquelyn Johnson. Pinnick opened the outdoor season with the nation's current 20th-fastest time in the 100-meter hurdles (13.41) and the ninth-fastest time in the 400-meter hurdles (57.89). Pinnick, competing in her first heptathlon of the 2013 outdoor season, bested her previous career-best with a score of 5,791 at Drachman Stadium as part of the Jim Click Combined Events. The score was 30 points better than her previous best, set last year at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, where she was fifth overall. The tally is currently the ranked third nationally in the event. Additionally, Pinnick clocked the school heptathlon school record at 200-meter with her winning time in the events of 23.90 to wrap up the first day of the competition.
Junior Bryan McBride nearly made his way back to the podium in an absolutely stacked high jump field at the NCAA Indoor Championships that featured two Olympians. McBride would end up taking ninth in the competition, even though he set a season's best mark of 2.23m (7-03.25). McBride is now a three-time All-American and will be looking for the first First-Team honor of his outdoor career this year after setting the school's seventh-best outdoor mark of all time last year on his way to Second-Team honors.
The Sun Devil men's sprints team will be the defending Pac-12 Champions in both the 4x100 and 4x400-meter relays. The team lost the likes of Daniel Auberry, Rashad Ross, Kelsey Caesar and Ryan Milus, WIll Henry and Ryan Milus also clocked the nation's 11-best time of 39.65 at the Sun Angel Classic. The ASU women's relays both sit in the top 25 nationally this year.
Nick Happe got the 2012-13 season off to a good start, earning All-Conference and All-Region honors during the cross country season while also being named the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Not only is he getting it done in the classroom, but the senior logged his second indoor school record at the Husky Classic with his time of 7:52.18 at 3,000 meters to finish sixth overall in the event and third in his heat behind two 2012 Olympians. Happe clocked a blistering time of 3:42.78 at the Sun Angel Classic for the fourth-fastest time in ASU history and the 16th-fastest time in the nation this season.
If there was such a thing as a sophomore slump, Ryan Milus showed no symptoms of it in the 2012 outdoor season. The second-year runner broke the meet record at the ASU Invite with a career-best time of 10.21 in the 100-meter dash and followed it up with a then-career-best 20.86 in the 200-meter dash later in the event. Milus had the 17th best time in the nation at 100 meters and was fourth in the event at the Pac-12 Championships. Milus also ran the anchor leg for the Pac-12 Championship 4x100-meter relay team. Milus opened the 2013 season at 100 meters at the Sun Angel Classic with a winning time of 10.29 that currently ranks 15th in the nation this season.
One of the most impressive improvements from a freshman to sophomore this season has been the rise of Brianna Tate. The quarter-miler clocked a new career-best of 53.30 at the Sun Angel Classic that currently ranks 13th in the nation and just missed moving into ASU's all-time top-10 in the category. Additionally, Tate runs the anchor leg for the women's mile relay, which currently sits 21st in the country with a season's best of 3:35.16.
During the indoor campaign, 20 student-athletes set 26 marks that improved upon or moved into the top-10 in ASU history. ASU is right back on track with that during the 2013 outdoor season as 14 athletes have set 18 marks that moved into or improved upon marks held on ASU's top-10 list in their respective events. The list includes Christabel Nettey (long jump/100mH), Anna Jelmini (discus), Jordan Clarke (discus/hammer) all improved upon marks already held on the list.
ASU returns eight All-Americans from last year's outdoor season season. Christabel Nettey all took second-team honors last year.
The start of the 2013 represents the beginning of the end for 15 Sun Devils entering the season. On the men's side Christabel Nettey, Keia Pinnick, Constance Ezugha and Natasa Vulic will compete in their last competitions as Sun Devils this year.
An incredible 35 student-athletes, including 15 women and 20 men, will be competing for the Sun Devils in 2013. True freshmen include Ryan Herson, Devan Spann, Tommy Williams, Daniel Wong and Heydon Wooff. There were also numerous transfers, which include Kyle Lillie, Chris Manuele, Michael Ohakwe, Garrett Seawell, Zach Zarda, Heather Arsenau, Dalanne Bartlette, Kelli Gibson and Lauren Rose.
In 1996, Pal Arne Fagernes won the men's javelin title at the NCAA Championships. It was not until 2004 that Arizona State had another national champion as Ryan Whiting and Jason Lewis in 2010, Whiting and Jessica Pressley and April Kubishta, all who won titles in 2007. The Sun Devils had no returning champions in 2011 but rectified that for the 2012 season with junior Jordan Clarke returning as the 2011 NCAA outdoor shot put champion and that carried over into a sweep of the 2012 titles. With his return again this year, ASU hopes he can pass the torch on and keep the streak going.
As the season begins, there are 17 Sun Devils on the roster that were teammates before they came to Arizona State. Prior to their joining the Sun Devils, thrower Heather Arseneau both competed at Desert Vista and are rejoined after Arseneau transferred to the Sun Devils this season from San Diego State. Freshmen brothers Blake and Kyle Elliot both competed at Dobson HS. Freshman vaulter Diana Diep comes out of Sandra Day O'Connor, which was also home to junior high jumper Byran McBride.
Head Coach Greg Kraft is entering his 17th year as the leader of the Sun Devil program, a tenure that has brought Arizona State back to the top of the standings in both the NCAA and Pac-12 events. Since his hiring, the program has continued to evolve into one of the more well-rounded in the nation with strength on the track and in the field as well as in cross country. Kraft and his staff have worked diligently to reach their goals of championships and success in education and that has not been more clearly seen than in the past five years as the hardware has continued to roll in. His program has annually produced some of the top individuals in the nation with 27 of the program's 59 individual and relay national titles won since 2004 while both his teams and individual student-athletes have garnered national academic acclaim. Prior to his arrival, the program boasted one NCAA Championship (men's outdoor track & field, 1977) and one Pac-12 Championship (men's outdoor track & field, 1981). In the last seven years, his Sun Devils have captured four national crowns (2007 women's indoor and outdoor track & field, 2008 men's and women's indoor track & field) and added three Pac-12 Championships (women's outdoor track & field, 2006-08). Kraft's teams have finished in the Top 10 of the NCAA Track & Field Championships on 23 occasions in 17 years while the program had done so just 14 times prior to his arrival in Tempe.
As he begins his 17th year at Arizona State, Kraft's tenure ranks as the second-longest in Sun Devil track & field history and the third-longest active streak among all current ASU head coaches. The only coach that has led the track & field program longer than Kraft is legendary coach Senon 'Baldy' Castillo, who led the way for 26 years (1954-79). Among current Sun Devil head coaches, Kraft's 17th year ranks behind John Spini, who is in his 33rd year with gymnastics and Sheila McInerney, who is in her 29th year with women's tennis.
The Sun Devils will send a contingent to the annual Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., set to take place April 19-20.

salicylic acid/sulfur shampoo - topical, Sebex, Sebulex
GENERIC NAME: SALICYLIC ACID/SULFUR SHAMPOO - TOPICAL (SAL-i-SIL-ik/SULL-fur)
BRAND NAME(S): Sebex, Sebulex
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to treat dandruff and other scalp conditions (e.g., itching, scaling, flaking). Salicylic acid and sulfur are known as keratolytic agents. This type of drug causes the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that makes the cells clump together. This effect makes it easier to shed the skin cells, softens the top layer of skin, and decreases scaling and dryness. Salicylic acid belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates).

This thread is for questions and comments on the MG34 semi auto project
I am working down the same path. I purchased two torched former MG34 receivers with overlapping sections and am very interested in your build progress. I am moving to Yokosuka (recognize the pin) in January so my parts will sit in storage for two years while I dream of the build. Did the jig work out for you? I was thinking about a machined aluminum jig but yours is more simple.
The jig needs to be steel. aluminum has a very dofferent expansion rate than steel, and it needs to be very rigid to hold the parts securely to prevent shifting and warping. So far I am pleased with the results and it turned out to be an easier reweld than I thought.
how is your 34 semi build coming?
It is on the back burner for a while, getting the receiver done was the biggest part of the project. I have a TNW semi so finishing this one is not a priority. Now that fn30 parts are available I want to do that build next plus I have several other projects in the works.
Just wondering what type of welder you are using. How about the Rod?
Have read several different sources with different methods.
I used a harbor freight TIG and a mild stainless rod, E301. The receiver is maleable iron so plain steel rod is not really good. It welded up easily and the welds finished out great.Quote:

Early Daytona 200 being the exception. These flicks ranged from the mid 1940's to the mid 60's. Absolutely great motorcycle history. But I digress. In addition to the movie , we were at the Motor Company for the purpose of finalizing arrangements for the Knucklehead Reunion VII. Thru the gracious efforts of my friend Fat Dog, we have been invited to hold our event there at the Harley-Davidson Museum. It will be held on Sat July 11 from 9 to 5. We will feature a ride in bike show judged by popular vote. There will be classes for American made bikes built before 1970. . In addition, The Badger Heritage Chapter of the AMCA will run a full card of field events. A special display will feature the unbelievable work of Mr. Jerry Kiefer. Jerry has built an 1/8 scale running 1947 FL model ! The event is being held to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. After a day in the sun, we will do a group ride up to Ceadrburg for Music and Camping along the Cedar Creek at the Country Keg. Music will be provided by Cross Town Traffic. And yes , there will be Point Special Beer available. It matters not what you ride ! Please join us in this special event for kids.
Thak you

As for young love, it's overrated. It only seems more romantic in hindsight, much like childhood appears to be much happier than it really was when you were a kid. Yes, feelings are more fresh, but you have to deal with inexperience and unrealistic expectations. That's why you don't see many heroes (and heroines, in contemporaries) who are in their teens or even early twenties.
In that case, what kinds of cues would a Romance writer use to show how the second (or third, etc) love is also romantic? I mean, many books have those same heroes in their thirties falling in love for the first time, too. It seems much more of a challenge for a writer to inject romance into a love story when both hero and heroine have "been there" and "done that."

Virginity is really unimportant to me--I know some people think this is weird but it's just not a big deal. maybe it's because for me my 'first time' didn't really make me feel *different* at all. And the obsession with female virginity from both men and women seems a bit odd to me.
Well, what about first times in general? The first kiss, the first romantic gesture, the first anniversary, the first fight, etc? Aren't they somehow more special than all the subsequent kisses, gestures, et al?

I dunno, I seem to be a more of a "but what have you done for me lately" kind of person.
To be serious, I think things just get better in a good long-term relationship, and putting a lot of emphasis on firsts reminds me of Miss Manners on the ridiculousness of the concept of the wedding as "the happiest day of your life" -- i.e., by definition, it's all downhill from there.
Not that I particularly object when authors do this in romance, except like others I get tired of the cliches of the evil/unfaithful/bad-in-bed former spouse and enraged by the truelove=pregnancy in the infertile scenario.

I think that's really a very tricky thing. The book that Allyson named by Loretta Chase "Lord Perfect" did it rather well. Bathsheba had love and a good sex life with her first spouse but absolutely no reliability, stability or feeling of security. So while her first marriage had not really been bad it was far from being perfect either. But I feel if a first marriage in a romance went really splendidly well it diminishes the romanticism of the second romance that is shown in the book. I really liked "Mrs. Drew played her hand" which had that scenario and it was certainly a very well written book but it was not a keeper for me and I gave it away. Technically there was nothing wrong with the book at all but I find it way more romantic if the second romance is superior to the first romance, that the second partner complements the hero/heroine better than the first one and that he or she fills an emotional void that the first husband/wife could not totally satisfy.
But I feel that way too because I'm now in the age where everything comes second hand so to speak. I recently talked with a friend about this and we both stated that we would like to meet someone who comes without baggage, means without children and ex-wives from previous marriages. The partner of my friend with whom she lived together for five years used to spend Christmas with his ex-wife and their children for the sake of the children. While that is understandable and even laudable it forced my friend to spend Christmas all alone despite having a partner. Every second weekend and every holiday revolved around his kids from his previous marriage and though she was very fond of the children they simply were not hers and she was not their mother. Romantic weekends or vacations were therefore not for her for she always had to spend them with his still very young children. Reality with a divorced man with kids proved to be quite sober and mundane, a very far cry from the passion and romance that we (usually) see in our most beloved romance books. Fact was, his children from a previous marriage were the most important thing in his life which I think is absolutely natural but not necessarily very romance-compliant.

Joyeaux Noel, A Christmas Dinner (33 photos)

Holidays around here are very much about roots and tradition. And an obsession with really good food. The pictures shown this album are our actual Christmas dinner with my husband's family, who came down a few weeks early for the holiday. I wanted to celebrate the atmosphere as much as the food this year at dinner!
My father's side of the family is from New Orleans, so family cooking always has a decidedly Cajun/Southern flavor, and was part of my inspiration. And I admit, there is a Christmas song from my favorite New Orleans Christmas CD called "Joyeux Noel" that I sing all year long that I couldn't get out of my head and on to paper quickly enough as a design.
I'd like to say that each piece of decoration here was specifically chosen just for this dinner. But really, everything but the magnolias and ribbon was already around the house and it was just a matter of rearranging. And if I were at Grandma Nita's, I would have just wandered out to her back acre and climbed my favorite magnolia tree for some blossoms or used some of her prize-winning camellias!
It was fun weaving in a little family history and heirlooms when I planned this dinner. The dinner table was set with a hand made table cloth and set of napkins from Malta that were gifted to us last Christmas by our Nashville-based brother and sister-in-law layered over burlap for texture. I also set out our wedding silver and candlesticks, magnolias, antique silver toned chargers and my collection of plates I bought just because I thought they were pretty—none of them match.The favor boxes I designed after the ironwork in the quarter, and attached a gift tag with some jute to each box to make the boxes also serve as a place card.
I was thrilled when Nicole of Tradewind Tiaras sent over a dozen of her sparkly crystal napkin rings to use for my place settings. I accented each one with boxwood sprigs after consulting my new favorite florist around the corner, Buds and Things. The tree was already in the room, and I took everything off but the bulbs when I started decorating for dinner. I love the simplicity of this look, and it makes it blend with everything so much better. After a hunt for a real extra large wreath for this room here in Florida, I had to give up and use an artificial, but would have really loved to see some pretty boughs hung in the window.
So from my family to yours, a Joyeux Noel, and hope you make many happy memories this holiday season!

UNEP Live is UNEPs knowledge integrator and is being developed to support assessment processes. It makes accessible relevant national, regional and global data and indicators, knowledge providers and databases, assessment results/publications, maps as well as near-real time data.
Read the About us page for more information on the platform.
The site has two search boxes. In the first box (far left), you can select the global page or individual regional and country pages. These pages include spatial visualizations (Map tab), data and graphics of various indicators which allow you to compare regions or countries (Chart tab). In the country pages, some national datasets are available from government sources (Country data tab). We encourage countries to share relevant datasets on UNEP Live so they are accessible widely. Datasets from regional bodies are available in the regional pages (Regional data tab). We also have a space to share Traditional knowledge for example see the Arctic regional page (Traditional Knowledge tab).
Also on these country, regional and global pages, you will have access to UNEP publications, access to UNEP and GEF projects databases (UNEP Resources tab); access to publications/assessments from partners and countries and a list of a countrys Reporting Obligations (Partner Resources).We encourage countries and partners to share latest information in the Latest Knowledge, Knowledge Providers and Apps tabs.
The second search box on the home page is for Themes. Access near-real time air quality index and other interesting information from the Air Quality-Climate Change-Health theme; or find relevant indicators in the Global Environment Goals theme; and see what projects UNEP is undertaking in the Project Presence theme.
Do you have your own datasets that you would like to map? If you have a CSV file that includes lat/long information, drag and drop it in the Mapping page on any of the maps provided (the mapping page is available on the top of the page). Soon, UNEP Live will offer the capability for you to save and publish these maps, but for now, you can create a map with your data and print it. Click on the Communities of Practice button also on the top of the page, if you would like to share your knowledge, ideas and thoughts on relevant topics or contribute in relevant assessment processes, all you have to do is Register and Join a Community of Practice. Currently there are 7 CoPs running.
Coming soon: A new theme page for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that provides access to a visual analytics portal which will analyze stakeholder perceptions and track emerging trends related to SDGs. The portal will filter, annotate and visualize documents from a wide range of online sources (news media, social networking platforms, Web sites of Fortune 1000 companies and environmental organizations) in UN languages. The page will also show the relationship between indicators.
The Indicator Reporting Information System (IRIS) is a national reporting system been developed by UNEP to make it easier to take stock of the environment. Those in government responsible for collecting data, indicators and reporting to MEAs as well as at the national and regional levels, can now communicate information quickly online.
UNEP Live can deploy the IRIS at the national level, connecting to different Ministries and agencies as required. This will enable the regular sharing and updating of data and indicators, which can then be used to meet many different reporting obligations. The IRIS also includes a Dashboard that enables decision-makers to access, at their finger-tips, the state and trends of the environment.
It can be connected to UNEP Live so that countries can share relevant data and indicators with UNEP audiences.
If your government/organization is interested in IRIS, contact the UNEP Live team at firstname.lastname@example.com
To see a country's reporting obligations, select a country page, click on the 'Partner Resources' tab and select 'Reporting Obligations'.
The IRIS tool has been developed with the support of Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data (AGEDI).

Rated 4 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grnthumb Very Well Made and Easy Build! I bought (2) of the red chairs. I was very impressed with the care taken to wrap the pieces with styrofoam inside the carton.(made in Honduras) All items were accounted for and in perfect shape/color. All holes pre-drilled. Took about 20 minutes to assemble each chair. They are comfortable to sit in and I just might have to buy (2) more for a conversation pit outside so people will not fight over who gets to sit in them. June 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pro shopper terrific! I puchased both red and white chairs ealry last summer and they held up beautifully all year. I do have chair pads on the red ones which may help. I also bought the furniture covers for them (which were difficult to find and they don't sell them online) but it was worth the effort. I used the covers during winter and the chairs look great this year again! I have so many compliments about the look and fell of these chairs. I even bought a couple for my sister last year at Christmas. July 15, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flygirl 3 years old and still nice! We bought 2 chairs and a table a few years ago for our covered porch. We left it out year-round in the harsh Colorado weather. While under the porch it was exposed to some snow rain and sun. It still looks great. My only complaint is that the side that gets the afternoon sun has faded slightly, but the intense Colorado sun fades everything. We are going to get the matching loveseat to go with it. Nice set for the price! March 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Redheadedme Great Look! Love these chairs. The only problem we had was the last slat on the loveseat. The screws kept breaking off. So, we purchased the same screws (better quality) from [...] and they look great! July 13, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Starfish Worth the lower price I notice the price keeps coming down on these every year and I think that's right. I bought two 2 years ago and loved the comfortable feel. The arms are smooth and no splinters and the seat slopes to make your back relax and sink back but still feel supported. They are very classic and pretty looking and can blend with higher priced patio furniture and features. The wide arms can accommodate your glass of lemonade or even rest a plate of food. I would have given 5 stars and did buy 3 more the following season. But they don't weather that well. Better than bargain furniture but they should be covered if you really want them to last several seasons. Ours are slowly fading and peeling and paint is splitting on some slats. Wood is warping on one foot stool badly and the red paint between purchases was a little inconsistent so that one footstool and chair don't quite match the others (deeper slightly bluer red.) If they are covered or brought in during inclement weather they would be great. I don't have the patience for that. But I still plan to buy some more. Comfortable and good price. May 24, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by papajim good for a season We purchased three of these chairs for our deck last season. By the end of summer, two of the chairs had peeling paint. The slats were separating and causing the paint to bubble and chip. The price was great, but I would have been very disappointed if I had paid full price. If you purchase them, I would suggest bringing them indoors when not in use. June 18, 2011

Awesome. I believe stem cells are looked down on for financial purposes from the higher power of the government. Not to sound a little off, but they want people to die to not over populate, health care and insurance sucks.

Nothing pulls out the truth like a chemically induced state-of-mind. Orlando Magic fan, "Marshall," voiced his concern for Dwight Howard's future moments after he left the dentist's office to have his wisdom teeth surgically removed.
Interesting enough, this guy says he is getting married soon, but it appears Dwight Howard is his first love.
The video is pretty funny and has attracted nearly 7,000 views since it was posted on YouTube Monday. But it's still a distant second to the funniest dentist video starring a little boy named, David. Roll it!

Prince Nayef chairs Cabinet session
November 8, 2010
On behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Second Deputy Prime Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud chaired the Cabinet session held at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today. At the outset, Prince Nayef welcomed, on behalf of the government and people of Saudi Arabia, the pilgrims who have been arriving at the Holy Sites from around the world. After listening to a report on Hajj preparations, he urged all officials exert their best efforts to serve the Muslim pilgrims.
Prince Nayef then briefed the Cabinet on the foreign contacts made by King Abdullah over the past week, including a message he received from Jordanian King Abdullah II, a telephone call from Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa and a meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al-Thani.
The Cabinet addressed a number of regional and international issues, including the efforts being exerted to revive the Arab-Israeli peace process and the situations in Iraq, Sudan and Lebanon. The ministers also reviewed recent international counterterrorism efforts, stressing the importance of cooperation and intelligence-sharing.
Turning to its weekly agenda, the Cabinet approved the Kingdom's accession to the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, adopted on May 21, 1963, and the Protocol to Amend the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, adopted on September 12, 1997; approved a number of measures pertaining to a study submitted by the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs on the lands allocated to governmental bodies; approved the formation of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Credit and Saving Bank; approved a number of measures regarding a study submitted by the Minister of Agriculture on distributing agriculture lands; and approved a memorandum of understanding in the field of technical and vocational training between the Saudi Technical and Vocational Training Corporation and the Irish Ministry of Education and Science.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Dr. Samir Bukhari as Director General of Administrative and Financial Affairs at the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment; Abdullah Al-Khunain as Assistant Undersecretary for Teacher Affairs at the Ministry of Education; Nasser Al-Fawzan as Assistant Undersecretary for Company Affairs at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources; and Adeeb Al-Khunaizi as Petroleum Engineer Advisor at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

Something is wrong with this picture
Goodell had originally said he might reduce it to *4* games if Ben was a good citizen. I'll be curious to see how the often heavy handed Goodell responds to this one. Rothlisberger has been implicated several times in assaults on women, and I believe that the suspension should stand as-is no matter what. But Ben's a star, and as such, he'll get preferential treatment - I have no doubt.
Now, there's another guy we should talk about here. He's the Seahawks linebacker LeRoy Hill. He physically attacked his girlfriend in the spring, was arrested, and was told to stay away from the off-season conditioning programs. Goodell said he'd review the case and decide later.
But then he was arrested on another charge - marijuana possession - and was suspended for the season opener.
Months have passed, and Hill was allowed to attend training camp. And now he's injured and will miss several weeks.
Still no word from Goodell. The investigation has dragged on because police can't find the woman to get her to testify; and he recently decided to take a diversion program that will avoid jail.
So....Ben was never charged with a crime, but was convicted in the court of public opinion and IMMEDIATELY got a 6 game suspension, which will likely be reduced. Meanwhile Hill was arrested and charged, and admitted guilt with the diversion program and still has no consequence with the NFL for a more heinous crime. But he gets suspended for 1 game for his misdemeanor.
Does Goodell's system make ANY sense at all?
6 comments
Gotcha Igor. My point was that he was *accused* of rape. While Hill actually beat up his girlfriend.
It was not my intent to compare the crimes themselves, rather the after effects.
So much for innocent until proven guilty...but we've been a constitution-free zone for a while now, so no surprise. (and yes, i know that the constitution only applies to governmental action and the nfl can do what it wants, my point was we only give lip service to the concept of innocent-until-proven-guilty.)
I don't think "good citizen" should be an excuse to lessen the punishment. It sends a bad message. I'm not discounting what Hill did. There should be some reprocussions from this from the league, but none at this time. I'm tired of hearing about game suspensions being lessened because that player was behaving FINALLY for a few weeks. Let it go, it is what it is. But, that's what I think. What he's done to women is unacceptable! No to Ben....
Very interesting discussion. I'd agree that no matter the crime - whether the player is just guilty of transgressions that violate their "personal conduct" clause or arrested for an offense, they need to be held accountable in a consistent manner.
"Tme off for good behavior" shouldn't be an option.
And I think the NFL and the NFLPA need to come up with an effective plan that makes sense, is consistent, and doesn't directly contradict a person's basic rights (ie, innocent until proven guilty).

New York City was a different place in 1977. The whole word has changed, but the city during that time had a very particular chaotic rhythm to it: "Punk, disco, hip hop, the blackout, Son of Sam, Tony Manero, CBGB, Studio 54, Max's Kansas City, Show World, Paradise Garage, cocaine, polyester and leather" [via Dangerous Minds]. This 2007 TV documentary reflects that time and place with great authenticity by including some of the real players of the time.
The full movie is here on Youtube in its entirety – so full-screen this, sit back and remember the days.

Chilaquiles Casserole
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.
162 Reviews for Chilaquiles Casserole
Very, very good! I didnt have foil so I covered the top layer with more tortilla pieces. The top pieces got crunchy but didnt burn, so it ended up being delicious! I doubled the zucchinis and added ground turkey to the mix. Fairly easy, and made a ton of food. It has so many veggies, but doesn't have that plain veggie taste (great if you have little picky eaters) I'd recommend to anyone!
This was delicious. I'm definately going to make it again.
I adore this recipe so versitile. You can use hot enchildia if feeling spicey or add jalapeno. I do one half with chicken for are meat lovers and leave the other half Veg. Great eat it every three weeks or so! Yum
I am a chef at a private Montessori school. I use this recipe for the lunch program. The students and faculty love it. I did tweek the recipe a bit. I add refried black beans along with the whole black beans, makes it a little thicker. Also added cumin and salsa to the mix. I did not use enchillada sauce between each layer, only on top.

With the madness of the holidays behind us and Mother Nature giving us some weather related blues, we thought it would be a nice vacation for the soul to take this Throwback Thursday to revisit a particularly hot and humid summer night with Erykah Badu at Central Park.
There's something special about summertime in New York. The city slows down and everyone's a bit more carefree. It's late in the season, and the long, sweltering days make us hesitant to venture from our little slice of heaven we've found in the closest air conditioning. It was a show not to be missed though, and everyone knew the promise of the night would be worth the heaviness in the air. It was August 6, 2001 and those that faced the above and underground temperatures made it to one of the city's favorite escapes for the SummerStage concert series.


text: I just want to say a couple of things about what Zeppelin means to me. I loved this band because they had no limits. They weren't musical snobs, and never held on to any one style. Zeppelin changed gears six times on one album, and they played blues, rock, funk, reggae, and ballads with equal ease. I think it's laughable that so many people consider them just a heavy metal band, since at least half their best songs are acoustic. They were doing unplugged long before it was the hip thing to do. I learned a lot from Jimmy Page. The best lesson was, don't be afraid to play any instrument, stringed or otherwise. He played slide guitar, electric, acoustic, 12-string, bass, mandolin, sitar, and dulcimer, he invented strange tunings - whatever it took to create the mood. So, uh, Jimmy - when you gonna show me how to play "The Rain Song?" Maybe after. So I know for Steven and the rest of our band, when I say that Aerosmith wouldn't exist in its present form without Led Zeppelin's continuing inspiration. A few months ago, when I was having lunch with Jimmy Page in Buenos Aires, he asked me to do this tonight, and I felt like I was the one being honored. So right now, I want to tell John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Plant, and Robert Page, that we and millions of their fans all over the world hold them in the highest esteem. It's an incredible honor for me to say to them, welcome to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
