Each summer the Department of Textile Engineering hosts a week-long summer camp for the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program. 20 cadets, rising juniors and seniors in high school who have reached a certain rank and are chosen by the national organization, explore engineering careers by participating in activities with several engineering departments, including aerospace, industrial, mechanical, materials, and textile. In the Department of Polymer and Fiber Engineering they investigate composite materials, then design and create air foils for testing in the aerospace engineering smoke tunnel. They visit with student teams (Baja, hovercraft, solar car, and solar house), Air Force ROTC, and tour behind the scenes at Maxwell Air Force Base and the Auburn-Opelika airport.
At the end of camp they have many new friends, vivid impressions of what engineers do, and fond memories of their adventures in the College of Engineering at Auburn University.

Olkahoma is considering a bill that would tax solar power; "green" energy advocates are upset about this, saying that it is a move by the petroleum industry to crush competition. Yet is it?
Renewable energy products get many incentives in today's world. Just to name one, New Jersey has a law forbidding local municipalities from increasing the assessed value of properties based on the value of newly-installed renewable energy systems such as solar and wind power. Certainly such properties are worth more, and the possibility that one can buy an existing home whose assessed value for property tax purposes is artificially lower makes such properties more attractive, and encourages installation of such systems. Meanwhile, these alternative energy companies are thriving, as prices of such systems fall and efficiency rises.
As a new industry, these programs needed some support to get started. Eventually, though, they will become ubiquitous--if every home is equipped with solar power, the logic to promoting it will fail, and such incentives will have to end. We no longer incentivize the construction of new rail lines, because we do not need more lines--in fact, we are struggling to support a failing rail industry precisely because it was built on incentives. Incentives must end, or they become, like farm subsidies, our tax money paying us to do what is not otherwise economically beneficial.
Oklahoma, though, is not yet there. They are addressing a different problem, one they attempted to address last year through their utility regulatory board (Arizona Corporation Commission). That law charged a small fee per kilowatt of production (seventy cents; observers expected it to be about a hundred times that). This new law is different, though, and in some ways better because it more directly addresses the problem that the fee did not address adequately.
If you have power generators on your property, you use the electricity from them to power devices on your property. If you are not generating enough for your needs, you draw power from "the grid", the regular power lines maintained by the electric companies out of the money you pay to buy that electricity. Then, when you are generating more electricity than you are using, you feed that power back to the grid and are paid for your contribution at the same rate that you pay when you are buying it. That usually means that you experience a reduction on your electric bill, because nearly everyone uses more electricity than we generate on our own properties. Yet in theory you could install enough alternative energy equipment that in any given month you were producing more than you were consuming, and instead of an electric bill you would receive payment for the power you sold to the grid.
Those who sell energy to the grid are already receiving that money. They are receiving it in cost reductions on their energy bill not because they are using less electricity but because they are selling a product to the world. No one objects to those who invest in alternative energy receiving income for their efforts; the objection is that they would receive tax free income for those investments. After all, at what point does your small energy production facility become a power company? Should farmers be able to install massive arrays of solar panels and wind turbines so as to make more money on electrical production than on farming, and still be treated as consumers who pay no tax on the power they sell to the rest of us because they are farms, not utility companies? At some point equity requires that those who sell electricity be taxed equally, whether it is their sole business or a side interest, whether they do so from traditional or innovative methods.
Besides, the inequity this addresses, the one addressed by the fee it hopefully replaces, is the maintenance of the grid. The price of electricity charged by utility companies includes the cost of delivering that electricity to consumers, including the wires that bring it to the homes of those who also generate their own power. That same system is used by those who sell power to the grid, who do not pay those costs. That gives them an unfair competitive advantage in the market, and unduly burdens power companies who then must raise prices to cover the costs--as if you could go into business as a package delivery company and make Fedex carry your packages free on their trucks and planes. Those who profit from the sale of electricity to the rest of us, even if that profit appears only as a credit on their own electric bills, should pay tax on what they earn.
The bill makes good economic sense.

This is the first time all season that there has been snow on the roads, the ground and the trees when I've gone in to take photographs of Rocky Mountain National Park. The mountains are usually white and the lower elevations are brown.
But we got some snow on Wednesday and the park was gorgeous! There was about 5-6″ of snow along the roads but you can see how white the higher mountains are. That's Hallett Peak and Flattop Mountain on the right. Lots of snow on Flattop! Beautiful!!

The news is up. Actor Kunal Singh took his life by hanging himself to the ceiling fan on Wednesday evening, at his Vindermayor residence in Oshiwara.
An actor whose sole claim to fame was "Dil Hi Dil Mein" opposite Sonali Bendre, left no suicide note behind explaining the cause of such an action. Kunal had also been seen in a few regional movies down South. Not being able to make it big in the cinema world has been looked upon as a potential reason for the actor's desperate act.
His friend, Laveena, was present when the incident took place, she however claimed not to have witnessed anything as she had gone to the bathroom. His wife, Anu, was not present at the spot as she was visiting her parents in Ahmednagar.
The actor is survived by his wife, two children and his father who is a colonel with the Army. The police are investigating the matter and have asked the family to offer their support for uncovering the reason behind the suicide. The family however has refused to release any formal statement.
Excerpt taken from : ZeeNews.com
For those who could not recognise him, he once acted in a Tamil film called Kadhalar Dhinam (1999) along with actress Sonali Bendre as well as in some other tamil movies such as Parvai Ondre Pothumae, Punnagai Desam, Nanbanin Kadhali and Pesatha Kanum Pesumea.
A noted co-incidence. In the tamil film PARVAI ONDRE POTHUMAE, Kunal acted along with Simran's sister, Monal and apparently, both the actor and actress are now no longer alive due to committing suicide! In addition, both their names have "nal" [kuNAL and moNAL]. What a co-incidence, huh!
A tribute to Kunal Singh:

Today HB 1188 – the Paycheck Equity bill - was voted on in the House of Representatives. Democrats voted for passage and voted to strip women's rights away in the workforce. How is that you ask? Because women will now lose any negotiating advantages they had. Women will no longer be able to negotiate for higher pay than their male counterpart because then he could turn around and sue. Women won't be able to negotiate for varying hours, benefits or other forms of payment because businesses can't afford paying thousands in lawyer's fees!
Once again Democrats pushed the debunked study that women only earn $.77 to a man's $1.00. Clearly they didn't bother researching. Over and over and over again this study has been debunked, including by the Department of Labor! Not one Democrat even thought to do a study in New Hampshire to see if a wage gap even exists. They simply took the bogus study they were handed from the Democrats at the national level and voted the way they were told. A representative admitted that no businesses were surveyed to see how the law would affect them. Not one shred of evidence exists that there is a wage gap in the Granite State yet Democrats pushed this bill forward.
New Hampshire has had an equal pay law for decades. Funny thing, Democrats didn't bother to find out if anyone has ever sued using it. Representative Regina Birdsell (who has also been a recruiter for years) did though and what she discovered from the NH Department of Labor is that only three cases were ever opened and all three were dismissed for being frivolous. In other words, the employers had to waste thousands of dollars in lawyer's fees to prove the difference in pay was justified under the law. The fact that there doesn't appear to be a discrimination issue in New Hampshire didn't stop Democrats from passing the bill. What Democrats have done is turned Granite State women into a liability in the workforce. Businesses will now think twice about hiring women. Women lose out on negotiations because it won't be worth it to businesses to bother. Essentially, House Democrats voted to strip women's rights in the New Hampshire workforce.

Launched on the Wii U, Miiverse has slowly and surely come a long way. Regular updates since launch have allowed longer messages to be posted, the sharing of posts to external networks such as Twitter and Facebook, and perhaps most importantly the launch of a web version — https://miiverse.nintendo.net — which has gradually incorporated all of the features of the bespoke Wii U app. Those two services combined have helped to bring Wii U gamers together in communities for dozens of games and services, and is clearly a major part of Nintendo's strategy for growing the platform.
Nintendo's previously confirmed that Miiverse will come to the 3DS — presumably along with the Nintendo Network ID system — while the arrival of the browser site has allowed smartphone access. Speaking at an eShop presentation at The Indie Games Collective event at the UKIE HQ in London today, Nintendo of Europe's Business Development Manager, Ed Valiente, has reportedly stated that Miiverse is coming "soon" to the portable, while Miiverse apps will be released in the future for smartphones, as opposed to simply relying on the browser service. Attendees at the workshop from the indie development community have been tweeting live from the presentation, so we'll have to excuse the occasional typo.
In the future there will be smartphone apps for Nintendo MiiVerse. Heard it at #IGCH2 first?— Mitch (@onimitch) September 6, 2013
Devs can get 'verified' Miis to be able to interact with their game's community in Miiverse on WiiU and soon on DS. #IGCH2— IndieGamesCollective (@IndieGamesCol) September 6, 2013
These comments — Nintendo has actually stated that Miiverse will arrive on the 3DS during 2013 — they bode well for the potential expansion of the service. If Miiverse becomes cross compatible on multiple devices and available to all 3DS owners, as well as those with Nintendo Network IDs on the Wii U, then its expansion could be fairly dramatic.
How keen are you to see Miiverse on the 3DS and, potentially, in specific smartphone / tablet apps?

(AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Nathan Denette) Darrell Williams| Special to the Advocate July 10, 2013; 0:29 p.m. Comments The Pelicans signed center Greg Stiemsma to a one-year, $2.7 million deal on Wednesday, according to several media reports. New Orleans also waived forward Lance Thomas, the team announced. NBA transactions became official on Wednesday. Stiemsma was waived on July 7 by the Minnesota Timberwolves after one season in which he averaged 4.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 76 games, playing 15.9 minutes per game. He broke into the NBA with the Boston Celtics in 2011-12 and played 55 games, averaging 2.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 13.9 minutes. Stiemsma, 6 feet 11, 260 pounds, gives the Pelicans a big-body presence in the middle to go along with Jeff Withey, a 7-foot rookie from Kansas who was obtained from Portland in a trade in which last year's starter in New Orleans, Robin Lopez, was sent to the Trail Blazers. Calls to Stiemsma's agent, Chicago-based Mark Bartelstein, were not returned. Thomas agent, Raleigh, N.C.-based John Spencer, said Thomas was surprised that he was released by the team, which had an option to retain him for next season at $884,293. The Pelicans also renounced the rights to veteran guard Roger Mason, small forward Xavier Henry and power forward Lou Amundson. Spencer said waiving Thomas took some pressure off the Pelicans financially. "Lance was surprised it actually came to that, with (the Pelicans) being up against the salary cap after they signed (Anthony) Morrow (on Tuesday)," Spencer said. "But (Thomas) understands the business, and his contract would have had to been guaranteed by a certain date." Spencer said he spoke with Pelicans general manager Dell Demps, and it's still possible that Thomas could return to the Pelicans. Spencer said Thomas, who has been participating in player development workouts with the team, still will play on the Pelicans' Summer League team. However, he will have to wait 48 hours to clear waivers, according to NBA rules. The Hornets open against the New York Knicks' summer team on Friday. Thomas, who played at Duke, last season averaged 2.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 10.9 minutes, but he is known more for his defense and hustle. In his first year in the league, 2011-12 with New Orleans, he averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 15.0 minutes. The Pelicans also announced that they have renounced their rights to Louis Amundson, Xavier Henry and Roger Mason, Jr. Amundson, who signed with the team on March 12, 2013, appeared in 18 games with the Hornets this past season averaging 2.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11.7 minutes of action. The 6-9 forward also spent time with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Chicago Bulls this past season. Henry averaged 3.9 points and 1.8 rebounds in 50 appearances this past season. After being acquired in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies early in the 2011-12 season, the Oklahoma City native has appeared in 95 games with New Orleans, averaging 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds over that time. Ten year veteran Roger Mason appeared in 69 games during his lone season in New Orleans. The Virginia product, signed as a free agent prior to the 2012-13 season, averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists while starting in 13 contests during the season.

Ladies defeated in cup clash
by Claire Forrester
SAFC lose out to reigning champions.
Goals from Martha Harris and Natasha Dowie were enough to see last year's WSL Champions Liverpool through to the quarter finals of the FA Women's Cup.
Sunderland started brightly against a strong Liverpool side. Ten minutes in Beth Mead took a heavy challenge in the box but appeals for a penalty were dismissed.
The home defence were made to work hard as England internationals Natasha Dowie and Fara Williams both had chances in the first 20 minutes. At the other end Beth Mead and Abbey Joice linked up well to set up Kelly McDougall for a long range effort on goal that was narrowly over.
As half-time approached Liverpool increased the pressure on Sunderland, Martha Harris latched on to a poor clearance and calmly slotted the ball past Rachael Laws from close range.
Joice almost clawed one back for the home side on the stroke of half time as her fierce shot was tipped over the bar by the Liverpool keeper.
The Lady Black Cats started the second half as they ended the first, Keira Ramshaw beating goalkeeper Libby Stout to a through ball only to see her shot on goal cleared off the line by Liverpool captain Gemma Bonner.
It was another defensive lapse that allowed Liverpool their second, Gemma Davison beat her marker and her shot was tapped in from close range by Dowie to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead.
Rachel Furness, who had been a powerhouse in midfield, saw her curling shot from the edge of the box go just wide but for the last half hour of the match the home side posed little threat to the WSL1 side.
After the final whistle Claire Robinson admitted she was pleased with her side's display, "We had a game plan to be difficult to break down and I can't fault the girls' attitudes and effort. Liverpool are a good side and will no doubt be up there at the top of the WSL, we have a lot of positives to take from the game. We will now turn our attention to the first game of the WSL season on Thursday night at Durham."

|Here Comes The Bride
Last week I hosted a bridal shower for my cousin who is getting married in two short weeks. Her sister Rachael, fresh off an LDS mission served in England, helped me carry it out.
We had a great time. I cracked open my box of craft supplies and mustered up some creative energy to make some sweet decorations with a gold and pink theme. Rachael had us playing fun games and sparking discussions to help us get to know each other better. Even though we're family, that side just doesn't meet together as often as we should so when we do get face-to-face we try to live up the moments.
|Adorable tutorial HERE for making these cute pennant banners (mine were 2x the size described)
In countless other bridal showers I've been to for family members, there are typically women attending who have years of marriage experience. They write things down or verbally express pieces of advice for the new bride, all while pouring hope and optimism on her and blessing her with an eternity of happiness with her chosen man. I have enjoyed witnessing this happen because it gives me a glimpse into the intimacies of the advice-giver's marriage.
Marriage is a very intimate, very private thing that is more often than not celebrated in an extremely public manner. The marriage of two people can bring together hundreds of people from family to friends to coworkers and more. This is one reason why communities celebrate the occasion. But I have recently realized that the celebration, the preparation, the plans, and - let's face it - the budget, all have only one focus: the wedding. The wedding lasts a few minutes, maybe a little more. The marriage? It has eternal potential.
In my religion, marriage is regarded as a commandment from God, an ultimate goal. I wish I had been more prepared to experience it as less of a social and spiritual peak and more of a transformative undertaking. I remember being an excited bride. Happy to be the center of attention and happy with the man I chose. In all my optimism and excitement, however, I failed to recognize how tall and rough the mountain in front of me was. How huge the undertaking. How marvelous the adventure. Even if I had, it couldn't prepare me for what I have experienced so far.
The advice I received at my own family bridal showers was valuable but it was relative. Each bit was given to me from the perspective of my family members' own marriages. How could they prepare me for my own? They couldn't. They could only tell me in the undertones of their words that they have experienced the ups and downs of the meaningful relationship between spouses and had grown from it and that I would too.
The past year has delivered many challenges I could not have predicted and those challenges have impacted my relationship with my husband. So far, it's all been for the better. If I felt wise enough to pass along advice to others who find the opportunity to take on the challenge of marriage it would be:
Avoid glorifying marriage as some sort of goal to hang on your wall of accomplishments. Instead look at it as a rewarding, potentially eternal experience put in place to help us understand the meanings of permanence, selflessness, humility, and other Christ-like attributes.
I have high hopes for my cousin and her soon-to-be husband and, judging by the laughter I hear when they're together, I'm sure they'll have no shortage of happiness.

Meadowlark Golf Course is a Forest Preserve Golf, nine holes golf course, so it only has one side—the front side. This course actually has two, par five holes on the front side—the third and the sixth. This article is about the third. (Meadowlark Golf Course is at 11599 31st Street, Hinsdale, Ill.)
The third hole's, average distance to the putting green from the Blue teeing ground is 465 yards. Four hundred forty-five yards is the average distance from the White teeing ground. From the front, Red teeing ground, the average distance is 405 yards. This hole's course handicap is #1, making it the most difficult hole on this course.
The third hole's fairway points southwest, and then south-southeast. Using these facts, you can surmise that it is has a left dogleg. This dogleg begins at approximately 150 yards from the rear teeing ground, so golfers playing from this teeing ground should drive with 4-irons, 5-irons or 6-irons so as not to fly over the dogleg angle and into the rough. Second shots of at least 200 yards that land in the fairway's middle will put golfers in excellent position to reach the putting green with their third shots.
The fairway is wide. Properly mown, there will be slightly higher grass at where the dogleg begins, which is between the first fairway section and the second fairway section. Trees are on both sides, but there are more trees on the right than there are on the left. All trees have medium heights. Neither the first or second, fairway sections have sand bunkers or water hazards.
The putting green has an oval shape. (Its width is slightly longer than its length.) It may be one-two feet above the fairway's level. Golfers should expect sharp angles to challenge their putting. This green may slope downward, rear to front.

No. 11/10 Texas Tech Tops UMass, 56-14
Sept. 20, 2008
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Red Raiders' quarterback Graham Harrell threw for 322 yards and four touchdowns and Shannon Woods ran for three scores to help No. 11 Texas Tech rout Massachusetts 56-14 on Saturday night.
Harrell, who completed passes to 10 different receivers, threw TDs of 17, 12, 2 and 4 yards -- in the first half alone. He was 27-of-34 and no interceptions.
Woods, who spent much of last year in coach Mike Leach's doghouse, ran for touchdowns of 2, 38 and 18 yards and finished with 108 yards on 10 carries. It was the most rushing yards for him since he got 109 in a 44-41 win over Minnesota in the 2006 Insight Bowl.
The Red Raiders have a week off before beginning the Big 12 season at Kansas State on Oct. 4.
Massachusetts' troubles continued to begin the second half. On the third play from scrimmage, Red Raider safety Darcel McBath stepped in front a pass from Liam Coen to Julian Talley and returned it 45 yards to put Texas Tech up 49-7.
Tech finished with 538 total yards.
Harrell was replaced by Taylor Potts with about 11 minutes remaining in the game.
Coen was 13-of-20 for 145 yards, well below his season average of 275 yards per game.
Massachusetts (2-2) avoided a second-half shutout when Korrey Davis scored on a 2-yard run with 51 seconds remaining in the game.
Texas Tech (4-0) wasted little time getting out front, scoring quickly on each its first two possessions in the game. Woods got the first of two touchdowns in the first half when he carried the ball in from the 2 and Swindall caught his first career TD when Harrell hit him at the 5 and he ran in from there to put the Red Raiders up 14-0.
On the Red Raiders third possession, Harrell hit Swindall at the UMass 47 but the redshirt freshman fumbled the ball. Minutemen safety Brian Ellis picked it up and started lumbering toward the end zone along the far sideline. Most of the Texas Tech players thought the pass to Swindall was ruled incomplete and stood and watched as Ellis completed a 53-yard score to make it 14-7. It was Ellis' first career touchdown.
Leach challenged the call but officials upheld their ruling.
UMass appeared to have a chance to level it at 14 when Red Raiders LaRon Moore fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Jonathan Hernandez recovered it at Texas Tech's 21. An official review overturned the call and Texas Tech marched down the field, culminating with Harrell finding Eric Morris over the middle on a slant on a 12-yard TD to go up 21-7.

Still waiting, but no reason why you guys should have to...
The Coruscant Entertainment Center
While I am starting where I left off some of the writers have added to their body of work, so I will review them in sequence, but add them to reviews of previous works so the readers can follow on. If there is more than one pick of the week, they will be marked separately both here and on the SWK site.
A Living Instrument
SWTOR Continuation of TOR fic: Revelations about the find
The piece explained a lot of what had gone before, and gives a chilling view of the Sith mentality.
Pick of the Week.
Followed by;
Trust Me
Regardless of her feelings and forebodings, the young Padawan is given over to a new master
Except for one niggling problem, the piece is as good as what you have done before. That problem is the condition of Revan. As the Trandoshan pointed out, it is truly a shot in the dark, since you don't know if Revan is even alive. Without the cryostasis mentioned he would have died almost 300 years before.
Pick of the Week.
If you Want Peace...
Under a new master, the Padawan's training takes a new slant
The word 'this' in the sentence 'this in the training room' was redundant. Her question implied that meeting there was irregular already.
The comments given by Alkonium are well thought out. I had the same feeling, as if her new master considered her old either incompetent or remiss. Suddenly changing the training regimen suggests that not all in the Order accept her new master's take on the situation.
Very well done.
Pick of the Week
Duel of Fates Chapter 7
Continuation of the ongoing work: After the crash, the pair struggle to survive.
Since you consistently ignore the directions that would make the writing more comprehensible, I will merely make technical comments. One thing, Murky implies hard to see through. Water is murky, air is murky, trees are not.
A bandage is not a prepackaged square of gauze or cotton, it it whatever you can use to bind a wound. The bandage was the first step in medical science that saved lives even when it was nothing more than boiled leaves plastered over the wound.
A penetrating wound in the abdomen used to be a lethal blow. 90% of the dead on battlefields before the advent of surgery were belly wounds, yet you have two men, supposedly competent humans, one of them a combat veteran who ignore this damage, and don't even bother to reduce a sheet or sleeve from a shirt into something that might help.
Then you give us the ominous comment about the wild life; right before they are attacked by all things, monkeys (And that is the correct spelling) about as non lethal as you can get, since there is no mention of claws or teeth.
Duel of Fates Chapter 8
Continuation of the ongoing work: New revelations about their captors
It should not be local's, we know our party is unarmed, so just the mention of the spear is sufficient. The word is grimace, not grimmest. It is on their knees, not the possessive knee's. It's first (as in a sequence) not firth, which is a cove in a landmass. It is temblors (as in aftershocks from an earth quake) rather than trembles (as in the act of trembling). The way you had Gannor enter (diving) suggests head, not feet first. To go feet first he could have leaped or simply stepped off the edge.
It is within, not with in, and dragged instead of drug. As for weapons, why pikes? The average pike is 12 to 16 feet long, making it too large to use when escorting prisoners. It is themselves, not them self's.
With this piece you finally did something interesting, revealing a buried city and the survivors huddle around it. At least now we know how the locals have survived the so far not seen wildlife.
I have been suggesting and suggesting to no avail about something as simple as common conversation and paragraph breaks. I think if I showed you what I have been saying all this time you might understand. Take just the part of that first huge paragraph as you did it, and visualize it like this...
The spear's of the local's at their backs, Gannor and Arthur marched through the dense forest. "Where do you think they're taking us?" Arthur whispered,
"Most certainly to their base."
Arthur grimaced. "We need to get out of here!"
"Shut your mouths!" One of the captors shouted as he jabbed his spear into Arthur's back, Arthur gave a little cry as the sharp spear pierced his skin drawing blood. For nearly three hours Gannor and Arthur made their way across the forest, climbing over tree branch's protruding from the ground, they pushed past rivers, getting drenched in ice cold water which only hurt more with the bitter cold now swooping over the moon.
Arthur's teeth chattered as he rubbed his arms in a attempt to keep warm, "How much further do you think it is?" Arthur mumbled.
Gannor looked up at the sky to see the large moon, peering out from between a clearing of trees, it's blue tint and glowing aura would amaze most travelers with out a doubt, he did not dare to look at Arthur as the captors would notice, he whispered back silently, "We've been moving for several hours, it can't be much further, they don't seem to be making any hint towards constructing a camp anyway."
Try it that way when you get the chance. It will make the reader's job less difficult.
Across the Galaxy
A new series by the same author:
Your first sentence is incomplete, and makes no sense. 'War was a disease, (So far, so good) a disease that the galaxy has no cure' should be; 'a disease for which the galaxy has no cure'. corrovet is spelled corvette, and as the Wraith Squadron book from the Rogue Squadron series pointed out a Corellian Tantive IV class corvette can only carry 4 TIE fighters, but could squeeze in nine X wings in the same space. It is supplies(Plural), not supply's(Possessive) have to be gotten planet side. You forgot lock when giving the order regarding the s foils during the intercept.
Technical note: Rebel Academy? There has never throughout all of mankind's history been a rebellious force that bothered with creating a military Academy. Whether you say Mao, Ho Chi Minh, or Che, or for that matter Henry the 7th of England or George Washington, none of them had either the time or money to pay for an Academy. They were too busy fighting to win to waste the time and money on it.
During even the more modern wars (Ho, Mao, and Che) the entire 'Academy' time was, 'this is your weapon, this is how you load it, and take care of it. Go forth and kill, my son'. In a rebellion like this you pick people to fly your fighters, and if they have even a smattering of training, have those who do know the systems get them up to speed. More like on the job training; you don't have the years an Academy would take for proper officers.
West Point didn't start until 1802, nine years after our Rebellion ended. Our 'rebel Academy' was a band of advisers supplied by France led by Von Steuben and Kosciusko. The latter name came to fame again when the Russians invaded Poland in the 20s. Pilots from the US went there and fought as the Kosciusko squadron for the same reason Americans joined the Lafayette Escadrille during the first World War.
Four fighters do not form a triangle, they form an echelon (Usually called a 'Finger four') or a diamond.
The combat scenes were relatively well done, and the cockpit chatter was not to shabby. If you had been following and using my previous comments you would be edging up to my pick of the week, but all you get is an A for effort and a D for the work as a whole.

Mr. BFA
TSL on Malachor V: The final confrontation, and the Exile's poetry
I enjoyed the middle part, but there is a reason I don't critique poems; mine are so bad that I do not feel qualified. The fight scenes were abbreviated, but that is acceptable, not everyone does a good action sequence.
It's good having you writing again, kid.
Squadron Legacy chapter 8
Continuation of the Squadron Legacy storyline: After his crash, our hero evades pursuit
Living beings or military units are decimated. Single people or fighters are not. The term was originally used by the Romans, who would enter rebel villages and kill every tenth man (Under Roman law, a man was at least 13, though there were instances of carrying it down to babies in cradles) while the more modern usage suggests a sizable loss. Inconsistently suggest no pattern to it, so it is not the correct wordage.
I was surprised that he didn't notice the water temperature on his hands, since there was no mention of gloved hands scooping water.
Technical note: The Chiss were not known to have been contacted until right before the Clone Wars.
You had your character spend too much time destroying the ship. It would have been simpler to merely open the fuel tank as you described, then throw a flare into the pool of fuel which would have left him his helmet at least.
Except for the comments above, the piece flowed well, and the beginning dream or memory set off his bleak situation very well.
Pick of the Week
Just Keep Running
Chevron 7 Locke
Requested re-review, originally reviewed 6 march of this year
I enjoyed having Mission and Zaalbar rejoin the ship and the escape was icing on the cake.
Only got as far as post 20, chapter V, but all in all it's an excellent read. Still don't know why Mical went to the dark side... Maybe they offered cookies?
Pick of the week
Pre Mandalorian Wars: Just an average training day... Not!
The piece flows very well, the Exile (I assume) is a young self assured woman, with Malak as hot headed as ever, and Revan an amused spectator.
Pick of the Week
Pre Mandalorian Wars: Two padawan are sent to collect a new hopeful
The piece disturbed me because it harks back to the 'Jedi steal children' hype. The uncaring attitude toward the parent is also unjedilike. The child's reaction right down to throwing flatware with the Force was amusing though.
KOTOR on the Star Forge: The confrontation between Bastila and Revan
The retelling is generic until Bastila almost falls to her death, and Revan saves her. From there it is very well done. His reasoning as to why he stays true to the light linked to one person, her.
Pick of the Week
Post TSL: Confrontation between Bastila and the Exile at Revan's grave
The piece goes from 'oh you knew him too' to a life and death struggle. The end is perfect because Atton wasn't there to witness why the Exile is so upset.
Pre Mandalorian Wars: Four young people spend the evening profitably, watching a meteor shower.
The piece was light and fun, well written and polished. You can almost sit down with them and hear the interplay.
Pick of the Week.
The Fall of Revan, Chapter 1 - The Dxun Campaign
Mandalorian wars: The battle of Dxun causes casualties as the Jedi begin to slip into apostasy
The primary problem I had here was the Jedi fighting the war are falling to the dark side too quickly. This is after all the first battle of the war where the Jedi fought.
The Paths We Take
Post KOTOR: Revan struggles with her nightmares
I think you meant technically. You might have your auto-suggest on and merely accepted without noticing. Same with wondering instead of wandering and rein (Controlling harness for a horse) instead of reign (Time on the throne).
Having this all play out in a soundproofed room makes you wonder if it really happened or was inside her head.
Pre KOTOR: Carth's last meeting with Saul Karath and the attack on Telos
Technical note: As much as Starship Troopers uses the 'sir yes sir' pattern, having served in the military, the primary reason for using it was to make you remember to say sir to officers, and it isn't used outside of boot camp.
The piece starts with the calm before the storm feeling, just two old friends meeting after a long time. But it moves swiftly to a full scale attack.
Post KOTOR pre TSL: Atton loses a bet, and ends up going to Peragus
The piece is cute because there appears to be no reason in the game for Atton to be at Peragus.
A Nice Day
Post KOTOR: Carth and Revan visit Telos... sort of.
Remember to do a sight edit; I think you meant suite (Room) instead of suit, though both would pass a standard spell check. I also wondered what you meant by groggy, again I think you meant foggy.
The piece is slow and relaxing, and Carth adjusting and readjusting the climate controls for his own amusement were fun. While called slash by the author, a few seconds of editing would have made it hetero as there is little that reminds you of that fact.
Reflections of a Dangerous Mind
Red Ace
Post KOTOR: Within Revan's mind a war is still going on, and we are not sure who will win yet
Always remember to do a sight edit. When you are flying along typing your work, you might use the wrong word, and while it will be missed by a spell check, editing by sight usually catches it. I think you meant reassurance, not reinsurance. I'm not dinging you too badly on this; when I wrote my own version of TSL one of the people told me I had made a grammar error and it took me three WEEKS to find it, I was so sure she had been wrong.
The piece is disjointed and confused. When you consider the character it makes sense that it would be; for the character is also confused, torn between love, and you will not love. Two thoughts resonated with me when I read it. First, that the two sides, Sith and Jedi are merely two different sides of the same coin, the other that loving this person might be the cause, and wondering who should take the blame for it.
And Not to Yield
Five plus years Post TSL (See Technical note): Carth decides to leave yet again
The piece is poignant and sad, and not at all what I had anticipated. I was thinking of the late Harry Chapin and his song Cat's in the Cradle, where a man sees that his son has become a duplicate of himself earlier, but that is not what happened.
Carth is there almost as a guardian for his son's family, and only when he leaves does Dustil understand that his father wanted him to stay with his family as Carth had not. The ending is perfect.
Technical note: The reason I am ambiguous about how long it has been is because repairing all of the damage of a full bombardment leaving the devastation described in the game would be an enormous undertaking, almost terraforming the planet to return it to usability. That can take decades.
Pick of the Week
Tales of KOTOR The Onasi Legacy
Post KOTOR: Two men meet in a bar, one looking to kill Revan, the other to retrieve a family heirloom
The piece surprised me a little. I thought for a while that the older man, Daggoth, was Carth in disguise; looking for a newly fallen Revan, but I was disabused when the newcomer named himself as Dustil. The idea that Carth's old blaster meant so much to him was poignant; we know Carth is dead, but the legacy goes on.
There is more, four more chapters for those willing to expend the time. Unfortunately, I do not have it.
Pick of the Week
The very short Journal of Carth Onasi
KOTOR on Taris: Carth's journal as the title suggests
The piece was a riot! Carth is more worried about his Paranoid's Anonymous meeting to do more then mentally lambast the other members of the forming team, and even glosses over what happens. The escape from Taris is merely 'Finally got off Taris. Will spare you the boring details'.
Another one I wish I had time to read all the way through.
Pick of the Week
Knights of the Old Republic The Jedi Order
Post TSL: Instead of going to the Outer Rim, the Exile stays to rebuild the order.
Sweat and perspired are the same thing. Visas should feel vulnerable, not invulnerable.
You're pushing the story a bit, making everything happening too fast.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2903783/... the Dark Lord
LD Little Dragon
KOTOR Among the Sith: When you read the title, you know it all...
The piece was short and I was too busy laughing to notice it. The flow is so choice that you'll enjoy it immensely.
Pick of the Week
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?

grilled shrimp cocktail
The weather didn't much cooperate, so we didn't get any hiking in which was a bummer, as I suspect I'm wearing every one of those meals around my midsection right now, trying to pass it off as "it's the baby, swear" because, frankly, it's never too soon to blame it for everything, right? But the ick weather just left us more time in one of those kitchens with more than one counter and enough cabinets that when you can't find something, it takes a good few minutes to find where it is hiding. I tried not to get used to it.
We cooked up a storm. Ang fried green tomatoes and okra:
I made Marion Cunningham's buttermilk pancakes as adapted by this Eggbeater, swapping the buttermilk with yogurt:
And Home Fries:
And White Lily Biscuits, which I've been preoccupied with baking since I read this article:
And Blue Cheese Coleslaw (The People, they always demand it):
And a potato salad (The People demand this too. Like I argue.):
And I think I ate my baby weight in South Carolina peaches:
Or maybe it was that smoked chicken and baby back ribs with Texas toast combo:
A couple years ago, I found a recipe for homemade cocktail sauce, handed it to Alex, and told him he should memorize it so that shrimp cocktail — one of his favorite things to eat — could become his signature dish. He made it a few times and everyone loved it, but it never caught on the way I'd hoped it would. Well, this weekend fixed that once and for all. Alex — when he was not bonding with the only other boy in the house — grilled shrimp for his cocktail sauce and everyone went nuts for it. In fact, the next night we forewent grilled chicken and smoked turkey and basically anything else so that he could make it for dinner again. And possibly breakfast. I think they might be habit-forming. I think you know what you have to cook next.
One year ago: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Two years ago: Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Shrimp Cocktail
Adapted from America's Test Kitchen
Makes enough to dip three pounds of big shrimp
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ancho or other mild chili powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon juice from 1 small lemon (we use more)
Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl; adjust seasonings as necessary. Cocktail sauce keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge.
To Grill Your Shrimp Peel and devein shrimp, leaving the tails attached. Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with a generous amount of olive oil, salt and fresh pepper. Grill them for just a minute or two on each side — threading them first on skewers that you've soaked in water makes this even easier — being careful not to overcook them. You can squeeze some lemon juice on when you're done, for an extra hit of flavor. Serve with cocktail sauce.
To Poach Your Shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp, leaving the tails attached. Bring shrimp stock (you can make this by boiling the shrimp shells for 20 minutes in three cups of water with a tablespoon of salt and straining the liquid) or water to a boil. Additionally, you might add some lemon peels, several glugs of white wine, peppercorns, a bay leaf or tarragon to the boiling liquid for extra flavor. Turn off heat and stir in shrimp; cover and let stand until firm and pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain shrimp. Plunge shrimp into ice water to stop cooking, then drain again. Serve shrimp chilled with cocktail sauce.

Although IMDb says it was finished in 2005, End of the Spear didn't get theatrical release till January of 2006. This was a relatively unseen film with no big names in the cast. Films that often get released during the January-February period are usually discarded by studios as the ones they predict for disaster or films no one would find big interest in. A lot of stinkers come out during the very beginning of the year until March. HOWEVER, there is usually one film or two that can dominate this two-month period in tickets or critical acclaim. That would be this film.
Based on a true story, the film probes the parallel accounts of missionaries and a hidden South American Native American tribe and a major culture clash between them. The men of this missionary team are suddenly all killed when one native discovers that one of his tribesmen is having an affair with his own wife and decides to see if he can get him killed in a fight with the Americans. It is then up to the WIVES and the son of the missionary leader to finish the job the men started. Although the film was financed by Christians, the film is VERY BROAD in its spiritual sense and is really a lot more about cultural relativism than anything else.
One criticism one could make is that it seems only Christianity could solve this violence prone tribe (their traditions cause them to keep fighting another tribe nearly to the point of extinction), but the religion of Christianity is rarely mentioned in the film. A very beautifully photographed and well acted film about coming to grips with tradition and trust.

text: Aug 11, 2014 19:20 Luke McCown starting at QB for Saints at Rams Luke McCown starting at QB for Saints at Rams New Orleans Saints quarterback Luke McCown (7) directs the offensive line during NFL football training camp in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., Saturday, July 26, 2014. (AP Photo/Chris Tilley) Advocate story Aug. 8, 2014; 7:12 p.m. Comments ST. LOUIS -- In what may be the least surprising piece of news to emerge during the last two weeks, the Saints will be starting Luke McCown at quarterback Friday night against the Saints. Starting quarterback Drew Brees has been battling a left oblique strain and has not practiced since last Friday. Coach Sean Payton has downplayed the injury and said earlier this week that he would not rush Brees back to practice. That stance apparently has stretched over to games. McCown served as the top backup last season, but is in a battle with Ryan Griffin for the top backup spot. After carrying three quarterbacks last season, it would not be surprising if the team went with two this season. McCown and Griffin both received snaps with the first-team offense this week in practice. If Brees had been able to play, he likely would have been limited to a few series against the Rams.

Illegal immigration
Pence's support for the President in the Republican version of amnesty has caused an enormous backlash in his district. Where has has previously been a "perfect conservative" Republican luminaries such has Phyllis Schlafly, Richard Viguerie and Pat Buchanan have attacked him: In the words of the online New York Times on August 29, 2005:
Mr. Pence — named last year's Man of the Year by the conservative weekly Human Events — has looked to some conservatives like this year's Benedict Arnold.
His challenger, Democrat Barry Welsh has also essentially joined Pence's right-wing critics against Pence's amnesty plan.
Notwithstanding the Republican umbrage at Pence, the district is still regarded as safe by the Times.
Pence has long been an advocate of earmark reform. He voted against the $139.7 billion Transportation-Treasury spending bill in June 2006, and in favor of a series of amendments proposed that same month by Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) to strip other members' earmarks from the federal budget. Pence, however, has secured several of his own earmark projects. He earmarked $500,000 for the "Transit Acquisition and Intermodal Facility Project" in his state, as well as $250,000 for construction of a park in Portland, Indiana. Pence also secured earmarks for inclusion in a fy2007 Labor-Health and Human Services bill. This included $200,000 for both Ball State University's Center for School Innovation in Muncie, Ind. and to the Madison County Community Health Center in Anderson Ind. In addition, he also secured $100,000 for Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus, Ind. When confronted, Pence's spokesman confirmed the projects, stating, "Mr. Pence stands by his earmark requests," he said. [1]
Pence was born June 7, 1959 in Columbus, Indiana. He was educated at Hanover College and Indiana University. He was a lawyer and radio talk show host before entering the House.
Pence is the head of the conservative Republican Study Group which recently pushed, successfully, for cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and student loans.[2]
2006 elections
Pence defeated Democrat Barry Walsh in the 2006 elections to retain his seat.

Okay, so we know we're well on our way into winter, but we're gonna urge you to scoop up the Empire Mayonnaise Co. Fall Mix ($22) before it's all gone. Mayo? Over the internet? You better believe it!

Bust out all three varieties - white cheddar, rosemary, and vadouvan - the next time you host a football party or grill in the chilly weather.

Haskell (1-11, 0-0 MCAC) comes into play reeling after dropping its last eight contests. Haskell has been shutout six times thus far on the season and Baker has allowed no more than two runs in the past four games with one shutout. Haskell has also given up an average of 13 runs while only scoring three runs during its eight game skid.
"We can't look past Haskell heading into our first-place showdown with MidAmerica Nazarene," said head coach Matt Windle. "This is one of those trap games where we can't afford to lose momentum."

UPDATE: What to know about President Obama's Immigration Executive Action
On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced his plan to allow undocumented individuals to come forward and apply for protection from deportation and work authorization. The program has not officially started and applications are not available yet, but you can begin preparing now. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expects to accept applications within six months.
Here's what we know about the new programs:
- Executive action expanded the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for immigrants who came to the U.S. as children in the following ways:
- Those who entred the U.S. before January 1, 2010 and meet all other DACA requirements are now eligible, regardless of how old they are today
- Going forward, DACA relief will be granted for three years
- As of November 20, 2014, you are eligible for DACA if you:
- Came to the U.S. before reaching your 16th birthday and have no lawful status;
- Have continuously residded in the U.S. before January 1, 2010, through the present time;
- Entered without inspection before June 15, 2012, or your lawful immigration status expired as of June 15, 2012
- Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces; and
- Have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or personal safety.
- Executive action created a new program, Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA), which will benefit parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. The DAPA program requires:
- Parents to have continuous residence in the U.S. since January 1, 2010;
- Are the parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent resident born on or before November 20, 2014;
- Are not an enforcement priority for removal from the U.S. pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security's enforcement priorities published on November 20, 2014.
Can I apply now?
No. Even if you may be eligible for these programs, you cannot apply for them yet! The government expects that it will start accepting applications for the expanded DACA program approximately 90 days following the President's November 20, 2014 announcement. And the government expects to be accepting DAPA applications approximately 180 days following the President's announcement.
How can I get ready?
- If you know someone who is in immigration detention and is eligible for one of these programs, advise them to identify themselves to their case officer, or the ICE Information Line at 888-351-4024, and explain that they are eligible for one of these new programs.
- Beware of notarios and immigration fraud. Contact only a qualified immigration lawyer or accredited representative for your case. Click here for helpful information on reporting notario fraud (http://www.stopnotariofraud.org/)
- If you believe you may be eligble, begin preparing now by gathering documents that prove:
- That you were in the U.S. on Novemeber 20, 2014
- That you have been in the U.S. since January 1, 2010
- That you have a U.S. citizen or lawful permament resident son or daughter
- Get proof of who you are, such as a passport from your home country and birth certificate with a photo ID
- See the top 10 ways you can prepare for Executive Action

Head Gasket Failure?
So after putting in a uv dye i have located where im leaking coolant from and its coming from right underneath my exhaust manifold on the driverside i have some pictures that can kind of show where the leak is located which i've circled. It is not easy trying to get a good picture of this spot and i tried to capture a pic with the uv light on so you could see the dye but that didnt work out as i had hoped it would. Does anyone know what else could be leaking from this location other than head gaskets? In the bottom picture that is where it continues to run down the side of the block, in the top picture that is where the leak is coming from.
Re: Head Gasket Failure?
After leaving the stealership today i have found out it is not the head gaskets. My leak is the galley cover seals to the oil cooler leaking down the backside of the motor and down the side making it appear to be the head gasket. I was qouted 1022.00-1426.00, the highest price is including new oil cooler. He said its a 50/50 chance that the threads on the cooler itself could become stipped when removing the lines.

Author and recluse Jerome David Salinger passed away at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire of natural causes on January 27, 2010 at the age of 91. He is survived by his two children. Daughter and author Margaret Salinger who wrote her childhood memoir Dream Catcher, and his son, an actor, Matthew Salinger who may be best known for his role as Captain America. Although for most of us he will be survived by what still remains a best seller since its publication in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye.
Along with his death, rumors have been circulating like wild fire; Did Salinger have a safe full of finished unpublished manuscripts? According to his neighbor Jerry Burt and Joyce Maynard, Salinger's mistress back in 1972, who also wrote the book, At Home in the World detailing their affair, the answer to that question would be yes.
Even if there are any unpublished manuscripts hidden in a safe somewhere they may never see the light of day. According to J.D. Salinger who told The New York Times back in 1974, "There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy. I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure."
Until the case of the mysterious safe is resolved one could still remember J.D. Salinger one story at a time with any of the following which have been linked for your reading pleasure: The Young Folks, Go See Eddie, The Hang of It, The Heart of a Broken Story, Elaine, This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise, A Girl I Knew, or maybe his last know published work Hapworth 16, 1924. Please take note these are only some of his stories in no particular order. If you wish to see a more detailed list of his books and life in chronological order please go here. For those of you who prefer to hold a hard copy in your hands as you read you could check out several of his writings at the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library or go to barnesandnoble.com and purchase your own copy to enjoy as much and whenever you desire .

Approximately 365,000 people are employed in nail salons and other personal care services in the United States. The workforce is largely female (75%) with the industry employing a large number of minority workers (46%) specifically Asian immigrants (38%). These workers generally perform manicures over a workstation—or "nail table"—with the client's hands resting on the table as they work. The nail table is, therefore, directly below the nail technicians' breathing zone. Downdraft vented nail tables (VNTs) are modified to vent potential dust or chemical exposures away from the breathing zone before they cross it, thus theoretically reducing potential exposures.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is undertaking a unique research project to examine the effectiveness of different VNTs in removing potential exposures from the work area. NIOSH is requesting that developers, manufacturers, and vendors of VNTs submit new, unused, downdraft VNTs for a free evaluation. The NIOSH research will include an evaluation of VNT airflow and capture characteristics, noise level, ergonomic features, and filter life. Results of the research and recommendations from NIOSH will be communicated back to the submitter with the hope of providing valuable information for maximizing the efficiency of VNTs. NIOSH may also use the information gained through this research to develop educational materials for nail technicians and other publications.
More information on submitting a VNT can be found in the Federal Register Notice. The deadline for receipt of VNTs is June 30, 2009. Given the financial constraints of this project, submitters are responsible for shipping the VNTs to NIOSH for review and for the return shipment. At this time, NIOSH is not accepting VNTs from salons or individuals.
Please forward this post to those who may be interested in this free evaluation of their VNTs. As we begin this research we would also be interested in learning about users' experiences with VNTs.

"Mind Rhymes is the first collection of selected art and writing by australian artist dimarie, brought together in the one book."
These are of the darker corners of my mind and creativity...
Though dark, sombre, meloncholia or fantasy, I see beauty in all things.
And riddled thoughts and visions throughout mixed with a little dark humour is always fun :)
All writings are created from the heart, mostly reflectling on my own past experiences and always written to a tune that constantly plays in my head.
My Artwork is somewhat fantasy based, some macabre, others vintage grungy or gothic... to be honest I dislike categorising Art... I like to delve into many styles and mediums...
And with each piece I aim to tell a story..
The Artwork I have selected for Mind Rhymes is more on the photographic manipulation/montage side...
For those who like to follow my work, My drawings and paintings will be included in future publications.
Peace N Luv Trippas
Never Stop Dreaming..
