On December 15 at Wild Bill's Fight Night, Florida's Caressa Kibler and Georgia's Mary Matia will fight for the third time this year. In the two previous fights, Matia has come out of both fights with razor thin decision victories. In this third fight, Matia will put her title belt on the line.
Both of their previous two fights could easily be named a candidate for Fight of the Year in Georgia. Since they fought each other, both fighters have been undefeated this year.
Everyone can see the fight for FREE simply by bringing a new toy for Toys For Tots to the door. Wanna sit ringside? It's just $25 and a new toy.
Today we heard from Caressa as she gets ready for the fight with Mary. In the next couple days we'll hear from Mary.
Georgia Fighters: This is the third time that you're fighting Mary in her home state. What do you plan to do different this time?
Caressa: I don't really plan on doing anything different, I just plan on coming in stronger and make sure the judges have no doubt in their mind that I'm the winner.
Georgia Fighters: Since Mary last fought you, she's fought twice more at Wild Bill's winning both fights. Have you had any fights since then and how have you done?
Caressa: I actually fought a couple weeks after our last fight for a ISKA U.S title, I fought a girl from New York under kickboxing rules I won by unanimous dec.
Georgia Fighters: You and Mary have possibly been the Fight Of the Year for Georgia both times that you've fought. Does this put any added pressure on you to make a good fight and beat her?
Caressa: Well first Id like to say that means so much to me for people to recognize our fight as fight of the year, it really makes all of the Hardwork and dedication I put into this sport win or lose is all worth it. I don't really feel much extra pressure because no matter what the outcome of this fight it's going to be fireworks! When you put two fighters in the ring who put so much into this sport & are so determined to win, that is a fight that is just asking to be fight of the night!
Georgia Fighters: Compare fighting in your hometown to out of your hometown. Many Atlanta fighters don't venture outside of their home state. What difficulties are there with driving all day the day of the weighins and fighting out of state?
Caressa: well I have only had the luxury of fighting in my hometown twice, & I can say it is very relaxing and so much easier, but one of the reasons I love this sport so much is being able to travel to different places, I've had the privilege of fighting in California, Canada, NewYork, Virginia & of course Georgia and yes I have to deal with many adversities like crowd favorites, biased judging, and the painful experience of traveling with no food or water the day of weigh ins but I feel this had made me a stronger fighter. I wouldn't trade those experiences that have made me the fighter I am today to fight in the comfort of my hometown.
Georgia Fighters: What's your overall fight record in all disciplines? (mma, kickboxing, thai, boxing, etc)
Caressa: My Muay thai record is 11-11 & my kickboxing record is 1-1 I know my record isn't the prettiest, but every loss I have has taught me something a win could never do. I have had very tough fights, some bad decisions, I've made mistakes that have cost me fights but as an amateur it's not about win or lose its about the experience you are gaining. God has an ultimate plan for my life, I never question it because I know he is making me stronger fighter and person, I know he has something big planned for me so I keep training hard, & fighting hard every fight!
Georgia Fighters: We're only about two weeks away from the December 15 fight night at Wild Bill's. What's going through your head as we approach fight night?
Caressa: Honestly the only thing going through my mind is making sure that I'm training the hardest I possibly can, at this point nothing else matters.
Georgia Fighters: This is a completely free show for the fans to benefit Toys For Tots. Anyone that brings in a new toy gets in free to the show. What does that mean to you to be fighting on a show like this?
Caressa: To me fighting on a show like this shows me I'm not fighting for a promoter who is just out to make money I'm fighting for people who care about the fighters, fans, and others out their who are less fortunate than others. I feel God blesses selfless people, & even tho the fight game in Georgia will be put on hold for a little while I don't foresee it being very long!
I would just like to thank everyone in Georgia for their support, I always enjoy fighting in Georgia because even tho It's not my hometown I get much respect from everyone, there are so many great fighters that I also respect, because no matter what anyone says, stepping into that ring takes sacrifice, risk, Hardwork, & some serious balls! We are all in this together!

"I loved the first three days of practice," head coach Mike Stoops said as he addressed the team following practice. "We've really put in a lot of hard work and we are continuing to progress."
After an hour of individual drills, the offense and defense came together for a spirited, pad-popping "middle" drill. While all contact was kept strictly to the upper body with an emphasis of keeping players off the ground, the defensive lineman and linebackers didn't shy away from contact. The offense responded with some pounding of its own, opening up holes for Chris Jennings, Xavier Smith and the other running backs. The UA offense, donning the white jerseys, also implanted a series of screen plays, slipping the ball to the array of targets in offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes' offense.
After a special teams segment focused on shedding blockers and breaking down in front of the punt returner, the Wildcats moved to a 7-on-7 skeleton segment. Willie Tuitama and Tyler Lyon took the majority of the reps, as the offense worked to spread the ball around the field.
The Wildcats then closed practice with a 30-minute 11-on-11 segment, as the defense looked to create pressure on the offense. It was a back and forth battle between the two units, as each showed its ability to make plays. One such play was a Tuitama completion to senior wide receiver Anthony Johnson, who hauled in the laser pass despite tight coverage from sophomore defensive back Cam Nelson and sophomore linebacker Xavier Kelley. On the sidelines, safety Dominic Patrick explained to his fellow secondary mates on the field, "Those are the ones that you've got to applaud," referring to the tough completion.
On the defensive side, freshman linebacker Cole Graybill, who has received high praise for his instincts and football IQ from linebackers coach Tim Kish, snared a deflected pass for an interception.
Stoops was very pleased with what he saw from the offense, but also he liked the way his defense reacted.
"This offense has so many options," Stoops told the team. "It may look simple, but from a defensive standpoint it is very difficult to match up against."
"I really liked the way we hustled on defense today," Stoops added. "It's good for us to get out here and get in shape for rushing the quarterback."
Tuitama, a junior quarterback, has adjusted comfortably to the new offensive system. He mentioned that the entire offensive system has been implemented, and now the unit must work out the kinks through repetition as it builds confidence through the spring. Tuitama explained that one of the benefits of the new offense, which features wider offensive line splits than the previous pro-style system, is that it makes the defense easier to read from his perspective behind center.
"The offensive line is more spread out, so it's easier to see the blitz coming," Tuitama explained to reporters after practice.
"We get rid of the ball somewhat quicker," he added. "I just get the ball and let it go."
Like Stoops, Tuitama has seen significant improvement since Spring Practice opened on Wednesday.
"From Wednesday to today, we are a whole lot better," he said.
The coaches hope to similar improvement throughout the spring on both sides of the ball, as the team continues to look ahead to the 2007 season, which opens up on September 1, at Brigham Young.
"We've got a long ways to go to prepare for the season," Stoops said to the team. "BYU is a great football team. We know how tough they were to play here. We are going to have to be ready for a tough game."
The Wildcats will have the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday off from the practice field, but will be back in action on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.

Ron Miasnikov
Date of Birth: 07/10/1968
Skydiving since: 2001
Number of Jumps: 3000+
I started jumping in May 2001, 8 years after I had decided I wanted to skydive – it took me that long to realise that waiting for the right time or the needed fortune would not help me get there.
I fell in love with the sport immediately and I decided then it was what I wanted to do.
In October 2002 with 200 jumps I went to Eloy and I spent about 3 years then (on and off) and obtained by AFF rating, rigging ticket and got educated by the best of the best. In between I was jumping and working in Italy.
At the end of 2005 I returned to Israel since then I have been working to bring Israeli skydiving to a point where it is affordable, professional and acknowledged.
I am now the Secretary of the Israeli Skydiving Association, and AFF Instructor/Examiner and a Rigger.
When asked what she felt was her greatest achievement; what had given her the most pleasure, she answered « Skydiving ».

After several days of balmy weather in the Carolinas, conditions will rapidly change overnight into Sunday as a strong system will enter the region. The system is currently organizing over Texas and the deep south and will enter the region in the early morning hours. For most everyone this storm will begin as rain with temperatures above freezing, however, by afternoon the rain will switch to sleet and snow from west to east with the higher elevation mountain counties seeing snow by noon. Snow and sleet will continue into the evening hours. Warm ground conditions, temps hovering above freezing, and mixing will limit accumulations outside of the mountains, northern foothills, and NC/VA border counties. See accumulation map for details.

Witnesses and those who catch the live viewing on BBC and BBC America will then look on as the newly weds glide in a horse-drawn carriage through Britain's Parliament Square, Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, the Mall and then to Buckingham Palace, where husband and wife are expected to make an appearance on the same balcony William's parents kissed after their wedding in 1981.

Dish Networks' ad-skipping Hopper DVR won't be skipping over ABC commercial breaks much longer. On Monday, Disney and Dish announced a deal (via GigaOm) that limits Hopper to automatic ad-skipping only three days after the content originally airs.
However, Dish had a good reason for giving in to Disney: As part of the deal, Dish now possesses the rights to include ABC and ESPN programming "as part of an Internet delivered, IP-based multichannel offering," according to a press release. That would include broadcast stations, ABC Family, Disney Channel, ESPN and ESPN2.
Also, for the first time, Dish Network subscribers will be able to access Disney's authenticated live and video-on-demand (VOD) products, including Watch ESPN, Watch Disney, Watch ABC Family and Watch ABC using Internet devices both in the home and on the go.
This deal is the first time that a content provider has given a U.S. pay-TV operator the ability to offer its content over the Web through smartphones, tablets and computers. Until now, cable or satellite TV operators did not have the right to sell content outside of a pay-TV subscription.
Joseph P. Clayton, Dish Network Chief Executive Officer and President said:
The creation of this agreement has really been about predicting the future of television with a visionary and forward-leaning partner. Not only will the exceptional Disney, ABC, ESPN entertainment portfolio continue to delight our customers today, but we have a model from which to deliver exciting new services tomorrow.
Dave Shull, Dish Network Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer added:
This agreement allows us to bring more innovation to the customer experience, including new marketing, packaging and delivery options. This paves the way for more customer choice and control over the viewing experience.
Anne Sweeney, Co-Chairman, Disney Media Networks, and President, Disney/ABC Television Group, said,
We knew early on we had a responsibility with this deal to not only do what was best for our business, but to also position our industry for future growth. After months of hard work and out-of-the box thinking on both sides, led by Bob Iger and Charlie Ergen, this agreement, one of the most complex and comprehensive we've ever undertaken, achieves just that. Not only were innovative business solutions reached on complicated current issues, we also planned for the evolution of our industry.
Meanwhile, John Skipper, President, ESPN & Co-Chairman, Disney Media Networks added:
We worked with DISH to smartly address the future of the multi-screen world on several levels. Together, we are adding value to the traditional video subscription by making great content accessible across platforms and delivering new products, including our WatchESPN authenticated networks, the highly anticipated launch of the SEC ESPN Network, expanded distribution for Longhorn Network, and a reimagined ESPN Classic video-on-demand channel. At the same time, we are creating opportunities to add new subscribers and introducing the value of a multichannel subscription to a small subset of broadband-only consumers.
Phil Swann, president of TVPredictions.com explained the change:
Disney is saying, "If you want to create an Internet service that is not simply an enhancement to what (subscribers) already get ... you have the rights to do that." That is different. The actual technology isn't different, but the structure is.
With this deal, Dish with live-streams of Disney channels, including ABC and ESPN, as a separate service. Dish has not, however, yet committed to it.
The deal was called "long-term" but a duration was not given.

I want to note, I realize when the variable is undefined, null, false, array is the expected end result, but a string is already signifying explicitly the intent of the programmer.

Positive energy changes
November 15, 2013
For the first time since 1995, the United States in October extracted more of its own oil than it imported from abroa....
who gives a crap if our oil goes into the XL. Bottom line is this country needs the jobs. And there will be an pile of jobs created by this pipeline. And a bunch will be long term jobs. If this administration wanted to be hero's they would sign on to the XL pipeline but force all materials to be U.S. made product.

lynn helms can tell you whatever he wants. I work in the industry and I'm telling you they aren't being used anymore. Drilling fluids are very expensive and they now have continuous loop technology to reclaim most of the drilling fluids. what your thinking of are cuttings pits. these are of no concern. they are cuttings mixed with flyash and water. they are not the pits of yesteryear which your thinking of.

NT4M: i think oil says ND crude it will use the xl, as a teaser to get us to want it. most everyone else says baloney because there is no connection planned for ND to enter the xl. oil lost there believability after 1973 when gas went from 35 cents to $1. Our middle class has never recovered from that price jump.

cf: any reason is enough for gas prices to go up. any refinery fire or maintenance, oil leak or anything that affects their infrastructure anywhere is a reason they use for gas to go up. they have it so good they really don't need insurance. How does a California fire affect ND gas supplies? oil should be a public utility to put a stop to their controlling business practices.

66: I don't care for lynn helms but he said they will continue to allow the pits and said oil may go to sd if we don't. are you suggesting it is all made up?

legend, there are no open pits being used anymore so you can sleep well at night. at least not enough to worry about.

Big oil talks much about costs but they want to build a very expensive pipeline in central canada and pipe crude from there and accross our entire country. this would be the second pipeline from that area as the keystone already exists. That is cost effective? Who pays for it--we do with every oil product. And those people complain about the Government? If Obama proposed such a boondoggle he would be removed. OIL--Our Industry Lies.

Lynn helms our state oil watchdog said we are going to allow continued use of open oil waste pits. oil says it would cost $300,000.00 per rig if pits were not allowed. Really? A pit must be dug, lined, monitored inuse, pumped out and the site reclaimed. That costs more than loading it immediately and hauling it away? I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. Helms said the $300K could cause drillers to move to SD and drill there instead. With all the money made from a well by everyone involved--I DO NOT BELIEVE IT.

Much federal land like under lake sak. is accessed for oil from the adjacent private land. the rig is placed on private land and the frak line runs under the lake. The best way to become energy independent is to stop exporting our stuff.

Boy, will that pipeline help Canada get rid of its toxic oil. Say, did anyone see that report on CBS news two days ago on the southern portion of the XL pipeline? I notice that none of the papers are carrying that one. You can see the video is you wish by going to the CBS news site. Oh, and if you want, you can go to the Missoula paper from a week or so ago and see an article on the increase in gas prices when pipelines are completed. Yep, they show that if the XL is completed our gas prices will increase anywhere from 20-40 cents because of it. Now, the spills the XL will create will be monumental. But, like the spills in ND, they will not be reported. The Northern XL benefits Canada, China, and Dutch Shell. It hurts the US. Now, that is a fact. Oh, and don't forget that we are currently exporting the good Bakken crude to Canada and that amount will increase because Canada wants to refine the "good" Bakken crude and not their own garbage.

A few years back there was great concerns for the depletion of our natural resources. The thought was to use others oil and protect what we have. Now it is drill baby drill and to*****with Federal/National resources--- get it all now. I wonder how Teddy is feeling now?

And its really a good thing that Obama cannot get his hands on the North Dakota Republicans..
Seems we are producing oil "in spite" of Obama regulations and the refusel to put in the Keystone Pipeline..
Put that in your pipe and stoke it Obama..

On Wednesday, June 12, 2013, The Second Judicial Department of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York unanimously reversed a decision by Kings County Family Court Judge, Susan S. Danoff, which found that a mother had neglected one child and derivatively neglected another one. The appellate court stated that the family court's decision was not supported by a preponderance of the evidence, and it agreed with the mother that the petitioner, New York City's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) had failed to "establish that the failure of the baby Jaylynn R. to thrive and adequately gain weight was a consequence of the mother's failure to properly feed her."
Not only did the appellate court reverse Judge Danoff's decision, it pointed out that family court "...violated the mother's due process rights when it instructed her not to consult with her attorney during a two-month adjournment of the fact-finding hearing."
On June 12, the same panel affirmed another decision by Judge Danoff.

None Better
By TulipGirl
from Warren, Ohio
I have tried countless ear phones:different brands, different prices, etc, however, I always keep coming back to Bose. This is my 5th time purchasing a pair of these. I use one for yard work, one for home, a spare at work and a spare in case I break one. I'm pretty tough on my ear phones, but these stand up to the abuse. The richness of sound is incredible and there is not a better brand out there for that. They truly make music sound exactly as if you were in the studios. Highly recommended.

Chicago gardeners, the weather is changing. With Daylight Saving Time, our days are longer. Maybe you've even seen signs of spring. It's time to garden.
With your Chicago Garden Notebook in hand, examine your trees, shrubs and planting beds. Take notes about their condition and what repairs they may need after our harsh winter. Then, examine your notes and plan your spring activities. You can also list the supplies you'll need from the garden store.
It's time to begin the actual gardening. Prune the dead wood and damaged growth from trees and shrubs. Renovate old, overgrown shrubs that have green shoots coming from their foundations by cutting them to a height of 12-18 inches. Choose the sturdiest shoots and cut out all the rest. Replace or add mulch if necessary.
Now, you're ready to clean up your grass and planting beds by removing leaves, branches and trash that collected over the winter. When your garden is clean, rake your lawn and add a good quality weed and feed product to give your grass a healthy start.
It's okay to plant if the conditions are favorable. If you plant too early, you need to protect your planting beds from damage by covering them. If the low temperatures remain above 40° F. for a couple of weeks and the soil temperature is the same, it should be safe to plant seeds outdoors
Inspect the soil in your planting beds. It should be moist and crumbly like cake before you attempt to plant it. You need to wait for planting if the soil is soggy. Chicago soils often contain high amounts of clay. These tough soils need to be amended with sand and compost and thoroughly tilled before planting.
Live long and well—garden.

Study abroad has number of unique benefits & advantages; here are some is a sampling of the reasons why study abroad is something for you to consider:
- Its a great growth experience - When you study abroad youll be challenged to live among people unlike yourself in a foreign country. The everyday challenges this introduces will cause you to mature, increase your confidence and self-esteem, and ultimately make you a more well-rounded person.
- Gain a better understanding of the world - When you live in a foreign country you will begin to see yourself within the context of the greater world around you. Seeing the big picture can prompt you to question the views youve held about the unfamiliar and reconsider biases and prejudices.
- Develop your foreign language skills - When you are forced to use another language to conduct everyday business outside of class, for instance at the grocery store or in a restaurant, youll see how much easier it is to pick the language up. Theres nothing like immersing yourself in another culture to learn the nuances that a book cant give you.
- Increase your marketability - Another study abroad benefit will materialize as you seek employment. Employers view students who have studied abroad as more respectful of different viewpoints and better positioned to handle the demands of the working world with maturity than their peers. And if youre bilingual, thats even better!.
- Youll be a more valuable employee - Study abroad will continue to benefit you throughout your career. As borders continue to blur in the business world, and bottom lines become more dependant on foreign relationships, those with experience living abroad will be in increasingly higher demand. And those with experience abroad oftentimes make better candidates for leadership positions.
- Work internationally - Living in another country also opens up opportunities for working overseas. From teaching abroad to getting work at a foreign company, study abroad opens up a world of possibilities.

Marilyn Burns passed away Tuesday from natural causes, she was 64 years old. Best known for her role as Sally Hardesty in the 1974 cult horror film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and as former Charles Manson family member Linda Kasabian in the mini-series "Helter Skelter". Burns was a stage trained actress who devoted her life to local theater. Her role in TCM has made her into the quintessential "Scream Queen" and has developed a cult following amongst horror fans.
Born on July 5, 1950 in Erie, Pennsylvania but grew up in Houston, Texas. She was attending the University of Texas and worked for the Texas Film Commision when she attended a cast call for a low budget thriller that was written and directed by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hopper. The name of this movie was "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the rest is history. TCM became a huge horror cult film that became a popular drive-in and later a video store staple.
Marilyn Burns would suffer for her art as the production schedule was grueling as the film. She would have to participate in marathon filming sessions in the sweltering Texas heat for the role of Sally Hardesty, one surviving member of a group of foolish youngster who go nosing around the Sawyer residence. In 1976, Burns would participate in two other cult classics: The television mini-series "Helter Skelter" and Henkel and Hooper's follow up to TCM, "Eaten Alive". She would portray former Manson family member turned state's witness Linda Kasabian in "Helter Skelter" and as Faye the neurotic housewife turned "woman-in-peril" in "Eaten Alive".
After spending some time away from the cinema, Burns would co-star with Fabian in the 1981 horror film "Kiss Daddy Goodbye" and a guest starring role in the 1984 sci-fi/horror film "Future-Kill" before devoting her full attention to theater and stage directing. Ten years later, Marilyn Burns would reprise her role as Sally Hardesty in an uncredited cameo in "Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre". She would stay retired from the cinema for another ten years until she made a cameo in the Kim Henkel penned film "Butcher Boys". Burns would return in a guest starring role in the direct sequel to TCM "The Texas Chainsaw".
Marilyn Burns was a part of Americana with her iconic role of Sally Hardesty and her haunting portrayal of Linda Kasabian. She was flattered by her "Scream Queen" title and attended horror film themed conventions to meet-and-greet her fans. Her status in cult films is legendary and she will be missed.

When my husband and I were in New York a couple weeks ago, we spent an afternoon shopping in Brooklyn. It was somewhat of an excuse to get out of the heat and into some air conditioning, but let's be honest, I was looking for deals. At one point, we popped into a Gap Factory store. I haven't shopped at Gap in a long time, let alone the outlet version but I was pleasantly surprised. There were definitely some gems, including this sweet little lemon top. It was literally the last one and I nearly squealed with delight when I saw it! With its bright colors and tie waist, it feels like the perfect summer piece that I want to wear everyday.
Gap top, J. Brand jeans, Anthropologie shoes and bracelets .
I have such a fondness for clothing with patterns of fruit or animals and such; it just seems extra whimsical and fun! Also, between the peaches, pineapples, and lemons – it seems we have a theme this week. Have a beautiful day friends.

What could possibly go wrong here?
It appears to me that dad HAN JANSMA is the epitome of a big stupid muscle-headed moron.
Dad defends dangling daughter
By KSN TVPublished: Wednesday, April 24, 2013, 12:27 pm
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (WOOD) — The father of a young child who wound up on the piling of the downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan pedestrian bridge says she was never in any danger.
The child is 4 years old.
NBC affiliate WOOD spoke to her father Tuesday. He said he didn't believe his daughter was ever in any danger.
"I'm not going to put my daughter in any harm," said Hans Jansma, the little girl's father. "That's crazy."
The photojournalist who captured the incident saw the girl's father Hans Jansma and another adult standing on the bridge above the child.
Jansma was holding the other end of the rope wrapped around the girl's waist.
Jansma referred to that rope Tuesday as a "safety rope."

In 1958-1959 Makeyev designed and built the first mock-up of the new missile. But by then the decision was made to devote the bureau to sea-launched missiles, and in 1959 the program was transferred to Votkinsk Machine Building Plant. There design work continued with first launch in 1961 and acceptance into military service in 1964. The R-17 was eventually operated by 27 countries and was known to Western intelligence circles as the SS-1c Scud-B (the SS-1b Scud-A designation having been applied to the Soviet R-11, and the SS-1 designation to the R-1).
North Korea reverse-engineered R-17's purchased from Egypt around 1980. Minor improvements resulted in a range 15% better than the Soviet design. This went into production as the Hwasong 5. Following a direct sale in 1985, a production line was set up in Iran, where the missile was known as the Shahab-1. North Korea also exported missiles to users of existing R-17's such as Egypt, Syria, plus new customer Oman.
An extended-range version, with 600 km range but half the payload and accuracy was tested from Kapustin Yar beginning in 1965. This received the Western designation SS-1d Scud-C. Competing missiles offered better accuracy, so it was not accepted for production by the Soviet military. However the same concept was used two decades later in North Korea, going into production there as the Hwasong 6. In Iraq, an extended range version of the R-17 was developed as the Al Hussein. A further Iraqi modification, the Al Abbas, achieved an 800-km range by reducing warhead weight to only 125 kg and increasing propellant load by 30 percent. Although different in design from the Soviet missile, these missiles were often referred to in the West as 'Scud-C'.
In the 1980s, TsNIIAG (Central Research Institute of Automatics and Hydraulics ) began development of an optronically-guided terrain-comparison and map-matching re-entry vehicle for the R-17. TsNIIAG specialists developed software, an optronic guidance system, onboard equipment for the re-entry vehicle control system, ground-based data gathering equipment, and re-entry vehicle targeting equipment. To ensure the reliability of the guidance system in any weather, and over any terrain, a target databank was developed of more than 10,000 images of the Earth's surface made at different times of day and in different seasons of the year. After a series of ground tests the system's equipment components and software were substantially improved. During hundreds of flights, the system's accuracy and operating reliability in any weather and over any terrain were assessed.
At the final stage of the tests, missiles fitted with target re-entry vehicles were launched. Their point-of-impact error did not exceed a few dozen meters. The work on the R-17 missile equipped with an optronic guidance system was successfully completed, and the missile was accepted for operational service in 1989 with the designation 9K720 Aerofon. However the collapse of the Soviet Union meant that the missile did not enter service with the Russian armed services. The upgrade was offered for export to R-17 foreign users, but it is unknown if any were sold. The missile received the Western designation SS-1e Scud-D.
In the 1990's North Korea developed a further improved version, the Hwasong 7, with a 700 km range, which was also sold to Syria. This was also referred to as the 'Scud-D'.
The R-17 has been launched in greater numbers than any ballistic missile in war, except the V-2. Small numbers were launched by Egypt against Israel, in 1973; by Libya against Lampedusa in 1986; and in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Chechnya. However the major use was in the wars Iraq waged from 1980-1991.
Iraq launched 331 R-17 missiles at Iran during the Iran-Iraq War, and 189 al-Hussein missiles at Iranian cities during the 1988 "War of the Cities." Iran fired a comparable number of Hwasong 5 and Hwasong 6 missiles against targets in Iraq from 1985-2001. The Soviets and Afghan army fired as many as 1700 R-17's against mujahideen forces in 1988-1992. In the first Iraq War, between January 18 and February 26, 1991, only 40 R-17s were launched by Iraq against Israel and 46 against Saudi Arabia. This handful of launches had enormous operational impact on Coalition operations.
Efforts by Coalition air forces to suppress Iraqi launches ran into many problems. Key portions of the target set -- notably the presurveyed launch sites and hiding places used by the mobile launchers -- were not identified before 17 January 1991, and, even in the face of intense efforts to find and destroy them, the mobile launchers proved remarkably elusive and survivable. Iraq's average weekly launch rate of modified Scuds during Desert Storm (14.7 per week) was lower than it had been during the 1988 "war of the cities". While launch rates declined over the course of the Gulf War, the actual destruction of any Iraqi mobile launchers by fixed-wing Coalition aircraft was impossible to confirm. Coalition aircrews reported destroying around eighty mobile launchers; another score or so were claimed by special operations forces. Most of these reports undoubtedly stemmed from attacks that did destroy objects found in the Scud launch areas. But most, if not all, of the objects involved appear to have been decoys, vehicles such as tanker trucks that had infrared and radar signatures impossible to distinguish from those of mobile launchers and their associated support vehicles, and other objects unfortunate enough to provide "Scud-like" signatures. Over the 43 days of Desert Storm, roughly 1,500 strikes were carried out against targets associated with Iraqi ballistic missile capabilities.

Sala dello Stenditoio
Complesso Monumentale San Michele a Ripa Grande
Via San Michele 22
Rome, Italy
This year's meeting is being held at the Sala dello Stenditoio, a conference facility that is part of a Monumental Complex built in the 1600's and secluded from the streets of Rome. It is centrally located in the historical Trastevere district, which is a beautiful part of Rome with plenty of hotels, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, and cafes.
The Monumental Complex of San Michele at Ripa Grande was founded in 1686 as the Apostolic Institute of St. Michael during the pontificate of Innocence XI Odescalchi, but was not finished until 1834. The Great Church, or Chiesa Grande, designed by Carlo Fontana in 1706, is the geometrical fulcrum of the complex. The original project was in the form of a perfect Greek cross to allow all the inmates to take part in the religious functions.
The Apostolic Institute, which housed in separate buildings poor spinsters and the elderly as well as needy children and orphans, was considered a model for the organization of social services in Europe. In addition to caring for and correcting the weakest members of society, the education of inmates was also provided. Thus, a School of Arts and Crafts was founded, also a factory which flourished until 1870, a wool mill founded in 1703, a tapestry workshop, a printers and a School for Liberal Arts, which produced some artists of note.
Historic Trastevere District
Trastevere is the Italian form of the Latin expression trans Tiberim, or "beyond the Tiber." This was the first inhabited area on the western side of the river. In ancient Rome this was the neighborhood of the Syrian community and, later on, of the Jewish community.
During the early Middle Age, Rome's population decreased considerably and this area was left deserted. In fact, when in the mid -12th century Rome's administrators agreed to the boundaries of twelve newborn districts, Trastevere was not included among them. It re-entered the urban context two centuries later, when its land was once again quite extensively inhabited.
Thanks to its partial isolation (it was "beyond the Tiber") and to its multicultural environment since the ancient Roman period, the inhabitants of Trastevere, called "trasteverini", were considered almost a population of its own: they were people of known tenaciousness, pride and genuineness. Moreover the women from Trastevere were considered to be very beautiful.
Today, the Trastevere is extremely popular with both Romans and tourists because it is one of the more authentic and characteristic districts of Rome. During the day it mostly has the busy look of any small Italian town, with people shopping, chatting, drinking their espresso, and holding the hands of their children. In the evening it is thronged with people walking around and eating in the many fashionable restaurants, clubs and cafes.
Bring good walking shoes because the pleasures of visiting this and the neighboring areas on foot are worth the effort. The Janiculum Hill offers one of the most beautiful views of Rome!

In Windows 7, I can go to
Control Panel >
Network and Sharing Center >
Manage Wireless Networks to see and manage all of the Home and Work networks I've connected to.
However, I'd like to see a list of every wireless network I've ever connected to, private or public. I know Windows keeps track of it somehow because if I connect to a public network I've already set up, it doesn't ask me what type of connection it is.
Is that possible?

It's not that we don't think this herb garden isn't cool, because we totally do. What we think is funny about this "planter" is that it looks like a refurbished wall filing tray that we trashed a few months ago. Except they made it deeper and are charging about 120 bucks more than we paid... Would you cash your 150 bones for the Cedar Herb Garden ($150)?
If money were disposable, I'd buy more than a few. Until then, I plan to steal some from my office (and paint them, of course. That's "freecycling", right?

What The Heck Is OAC?
by D. Ch'an-Moriwaki
(dianna cm)
That's the acronym for Opera Academy of California (pronounced like "oak," as in oak tree), and No, it Does Not stand in the shadow of the big-time Merola, Adler, Opera Center training organizations. Instead, it can be said that the OAC is to San Francisco Opera rather like what Off-Broadway is to Broadway --- as purposefully dedicated to excellence in mission, ambition, artistic and administrative talent, and in performance level, being only more moderate in scale and means. In other words, this group is nothing to sniff at. It's got names and associations of international renown and high repute on its staff and faculty, and attracts and auditions young talent from all over, to train as emerging artists for the future of opera and musical theater.
So, if you love opera and are an old hand, or if you're new to opera and curious about it ... if you don't believe that very hip young people actually study and train for professional operatic careers with utter seriousness ... if you aren't aware that operatic careers involve way more than vocal arts in classical music performance ... well then, opera staged by Opera Academy of California is your ticket to being impressed, astonished, and uplofted by the level of artistic excellence, not just musically, but in production values as well. Prepare to be totally swept away.
Last year I was at OAC's production of a modern, Twentieth-Century opera, the Poulenc "Dialogues of the Carmelites." This year it was "Il Giasone" by Francesco Cavalli, written in the mid-1600s. These are highly contrasting productions in musical period, mood and atmosphere, emotional content, and each was handled with polish, conviction, and imagination ... especially Il Giasone, for which there is perhaps no performance tradition established as yet.
Wondering about the capabilities in young, emerging artists' singing of Baroque opera, I was lucky to catch OAC's last performance of Il Giasone ("[The] Jason," the Argonaut story with a twist and a happy ending), and was not disappointed in the least. The vocal flexibility in Baroque style was met with aplomb and assured presence, the imaginative staging and direction brought out the opera's engaging charm, and the instrumental ensemble was superb, especially conductor and harpsichordist. The one and only miss was that the supertitles were too dimly lit to be easily visible. Isifile's costume was simply fabulous, and she looked great in it. I want it. To actually wear ... headgear, neck torque and all.
But after all the aforementioned having been said, what is so disappointing to realize is that there may be inadequate promotion and marketing for OAC's mission, as well as for its wonderful stage productions. It is simply heartbreaking that audience is so small, even despite the tiny size of the theater --- especially this being Il Giasone's closing performance and, most particularly, when one considers the joyous, devoted work that created all the performance's superlatives. Maybe attendance was sparse due to Cavalli's and Il Giasone's being relatively unfamiliar composer and work to most music lovers. Did Mozart's "Le Nozze de Figaro," which was on the boards first, before Il Giasone, have a better turnout? Last year's "Dialogues of the Carmelites" didn't seem to be heavily attended either ... or could that be because the Poulenc Carmelites is a grim story that doesn't indulge the senses with colorful and elaborate setting and costuming, or entertaining circumstances of love and lust?
Gratefully, there is still more to OAC's summer season coming up, but you've got to hurry. Goldstar is offering opera scenes Wednesday evening . OAC's third staged opera of the current season is running this week into next weekend, Act I of Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" and Jacques Offenbach's "Daphnis et Chloe." via Goldstar tix: via BrownPaper tix: And their summer Aria Recital has one more evening, tonight at Old First Church, Tuesday, 23 July, at 7pm. So, please, go to these OAC performances before their summer season is over. Make a donation. Visit their website and discover what they offer.
Gee, if we can all support them full-heartedly, maybe there could be some good, hot, far-flung PR for their gigs. Wouldn't that be cool? :::

About the Ticket Supplier: Opera Academy of CaliforniaThe Opera Academy of California (OAC, rhymes with "oak") is a non-profit charitable and educational organization, founded to educate new audiences about opera, and to give promising young singers an opportunity to polish their craft. We believe that bringing quality performers and appreciative audiences together will broaden the number of people who become passionate about this wonderful form of musical theatre.
We opened the Opera Academy in June of this year with an appreciation class for audiences on "The Queen of Spades" just prior to the San Francisco Opera's presentation of this Tchaikovsky classic. We are developing a series of opera appreciation classes based on the season of the SF Opera and Opera Companies around the Bay Area. In the future, we will have Master classes for singers that will be open to you. These public Master classes are a great opportunity for opera aficionados to get a behind-the-scenes peek into the work that singers and directors put into the dramatic performance you see on the stage.

Yesterday, July 2, Western New England University announced that its Small Business Legal Clinic is accepting applications for the fall 2014 semester from entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Pioneer Valley. Announced in an email, applications are due August 1.
The Small Business Legal Clinic offers legal assistance with entity choice, employment policies, contract drafting, regulatory compliance and intellectual property relating to trademark and copyright. Under faculty supervision, law students work with entrepreneurial and small business clients who otherwise do not have the resources to access these legal services.
"The Clinic is a great resource for entrepreneurs who lack the finances to retain an attorney. By using the Clinic's services, businesses can avoid problems by getting legal issues addressed early and correctly," said Robert Statchen, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law for the Small Business Legal Clinic, in an emailed statement.
More information can be found in the Small Business Legal Clinic's flyer, and the application is available on the Western New England University website. The Western New England University School of Law Small Business Legal Clinic was established so that law students could provide practical consultation to entrepreneurs starting new and building existing small businesses in the community. The Clinic itself is a great program that the Springfield Entrepreneurship Examiner has used in the past with excellent results. The Clinic does not handle litigation, instead focusing on issues that can be resolved within a semester by dedicated law students working under Attorney Statchen's supervision.

Singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata has become a staple in the indie and adult alternative scene over the past ten years or so, to the point that most people have heard her music, even if they don't know her name. Rachael's songs have appeared on many popular films and television shows, including How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock and Elizabethtown, among others. When she "went indie" a couple of years ago by setting up her own label, her fans lent their full support, fully funding her last album Chesapeake in a matter of days via a PledgeMusic campaign.
This month, Rachael kicked off a new tour for her new EP release Heavyweight, and is bringing her tour to Denver's Larimer Lounge next weekend, November 24.
"I'm very excited because the band is entirely a new formation," says Rachael. "I'm trying something different for this round, and taking two new string players, a cellist and a violinist, and having a friend of mine who plays drums, bass and guitar sit in on various things. The two openers I'm bringing are also going to join in, so there should be a lot of great background vocals going on, and a bit of a string-heavy, stripped down set."
Rachael also says the new live format plays to the strengths of the EP. "A lot of the songs on the EP have that same string-heavy sort of whisper-like quality to them," she says. "It definitely sustains a certain mood through the whole thing, and maybe answers the call of my last record that didn't have quite as many ballads on it as usual."
Rachael will play the Larimer Lounge next weekend, Saturday, November 24. Tickets are still available at press time, but given the size of the venue, you should get them sooner rather than later if you plan to attend. This is a great opportunity to hear Rachael Yamagata perform in an intimate setting with a whole new format. Advance tickets are $20, available through the Larimer Lounge website. Show starts at 9:00 PM.
You can read an extended interview with Rachael Yamagata regarding her new album and tour on Music Is My Oxygen.

i'd got it all sorted - 4 days unknown hotel, 3 nights Universal hotel and then 14 days onsite at OKW in one bedroom with free dining. This option would be more expensive than a villa for 18 days and US hotel for 3 night, but 14 days worth of dining would be taken care of up front- i like that idea.
I don't know if i want to do that anymore! thinking about staying an a villa and lounging by my own pool, with internet access and lots of space.
ach!! i just need to book so there is no options anymore!!

John Deere: Nothing runs like an AGV
Automatic guided vehicles engage specially-designed frames to transport cabs through the assembly process.
For years, manufacturers turned to automation to improve quality and take labor out of their processes. A robotic welding machine, overhead and floor-level conveyors, and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) made workers more efficient and allowed companies to increase production without increasing their workforce.
In 2010, John Deere set out to bring a new level of automation to the assembly line for its CommandView II tractor cabs at Deere's historic Waterloo Works in Waterloo, Iowa, a huge manufacturing campus that includes six manufacturing facilities spread across 5.9 million square feet of floor space and 2,734 acres.
Deere was certainly looking for labor savings from automation, says Annie Olson, project manager for new cab assembly in Waterloo. But Deere was also in search of a solution that would bring a new level of safety and flexibility to its operations.
"The cabs that go on our 7R, 8R and 9R series of tractors are more complex as we add new levels of comfort and functionality for the operator," says Olson, citing heated seats and Bluetooth technology as just two of the options demanded today. "We needed an assembly line that could grow with the technology we are adding to our cabs now and might add in the future."
As an adherent of lean manufacturing, Deere looks to drive higher, more consistent levels of quality with each new investment.
The solution was a fleet of 35 automatic guided vehicles (Toyota Material Handling USA, toyotaforklift.com) that went live in September 2010. The AGVs serve as a flexible mobile assembly line, routing the cabs through as many as 12 assembly stations before a finished cab is delivered to the final tractor assembly line.
The result has been labor savings. With the new system, Deere has freed up the direct labor equivalent of one assembler, who used to move the cab from one station to the next, for more important value-added operations. More importantly, the AGVs have delivered a new level of flexibility and quality control to the cab assembly line. "Mistake proofing is very important to our processes," says Olson. "The AGVs have allowed us to expand on our quality control systems and will allow us to add more technology in the future."
Ensuring quality
John Deere has been producing tractors in Waterloo, Iowa, since it purchased the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, manufacturer of the Waterloo Boy Tractor, in 1918. The facilities include a foundry, an engine works plant, a product engineering center, and tractor assembly for some of Deere's most popular agricultural tractors. Deere employs 5,000 workers in Waterloo and ships its tractors to more than 130 countries. With $26 billion in total sales in 2010, John Deere is the largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment in the world.
In early 2010, the cab manufacturing team in Waterloo began discussions for a new line for the CommandView II cab, which would be common to the 7R, 8R and 9R series.
Some automation had already been introduced into the cab assembly area when a manual system was replaced with an elevated conveyor. In the past, cabs were placed on a dolly that an assembly worker manually pushed from station to station. "Tractors are getting heavier all the time, as are the cabs that go on them," says Olson. "If you're manually pushing a cab day in and day out, it takes a toll."
"We are a lean operation with a 'no fault forward policy,'" says Olson. "If we discover a quality issue, we stop work on that cab until we address the issue." When Deere was using a manual system of moving the cab along the line, it was difficult to ensure that all of the options were installed in the right cab and that all of the processes and quality checks were completed during the assembly process.
In part, that was addressed with the installation of a roller conveyor that sat about 2 feet off the floor. By automating the assembly line, Deere could also add technology to automatically capture data about processes on the line. However, the conveyor had limitations if something did go wrong.
"With the conveyor, we could lock down the line to prevent a cab from moving forward," Olson says. "However, it was difficult to stop a cab on the conveyor mid line to make a repair. If we found a fault, we had to shut down the whole assembly process."
What's more, if the assembly line needed to change, say to add another assembly station for a new option, the whole conveyor line had to be moved. That was not easily accomplished.
Finally, with more available options than ever before, Deere needed a larger assembly line and extending the conveyor was not an option.

Rocket Engine, Liquid Fuel, F-1
This is an Rocketdyne F-1 rocket engine meant as a flight spare for either the Apollo 18 or 19 manned missions to the Moon. The engine underwent eight start tests in 1966 for a total firing time of about 500 seconds. However, the Apollo 18 and 19 missions were later cancelled and Apollo 17 was the last manned flight to the Moon.
The first stage of the Apollo Project's Saturn V used five F-1s. Each F-1 produced 1.5 million pounds of thrust for a total lift-off thrust of 7.5 million pounds. The fully-fueled Saturn V weighed 6.1 million pounds. The F-1 used RP-1, a type of kerosene, and liquid oxygen as the propellants.
The engine shown here was donated to the Smithsonian by NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center in 2004.

Saturday fun...
Sunday, February 17, 2013
Saturday was certainly a fun-packed night. I managed to get the swing dance event across town around 8:30 pm. This was only my second time going to this dance venue, so I didn't know many of the regulars. Thankfully, near the end of the night I was able to become acquainted with many of the dancers. And as a bonus I was reminded of another swing dance venue that happens on Tuesday nights. So at this point I think I could manage a Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday swing dancing outing. Each time I go I dance for at least 2-3 hours, therefore I know I'm burning up some calories in the process :)
Another positive aspect from last night. I consumed no calories when up and about on the social outings. I had all the calories I needed by 5pm that day, so I didn't have any need to munch or drink caloric drinks later on in the night. The Mesa swing dance event ended around 11 pm, but I wanted to spend a little longer socializing so I stopped by my favorite dive bar on the way home. Played a fun game of shuffleboard and danced on the floor with new friends.
Since I got back later than 2 am, I slept in this morning. I was rather hungry when I woke up so decided to have my brunch first and exercise second. I had 1/2 lb of calf liver with Greek yogurt sauce, green beans, plain baked yam, and an avocado. I took a 60 minute walk with my dogs and then finished up some chores such as laundry and kitchen cleaning. I find that the cleaner my home environment is, the less stressed and more focused I become.
Goals for today:
1. Get groceries for next week -- calf liver, frozen spinach, stevia, distilled water, yams, greek yogurt
2. Drink 64 ounces of water
3. Research project
4. Swing dance event at 6pm (???maybe go if enough time???)
5. organize home belongings
6. Laundry
7. 1 hour at the gym -- split between cardio and strength training

Thanks for the tip, GALINAZ! I'll have to check out the Rhythm Room since I've never been there before :) But if you like swing dancing, you should still do it even if your husband won't join! It's all in good fun and most of us switch dance partners for each song opposed to staying in pairs the whole night.

I love to watch swing dancing, did it myself back in the day but my DH doesn't dance and wouldn't be too keen on me dancing with others (sigh). The Rhythm Room used to have dances occasionally, ever gone there?

The book is photographic journey with images and text on the world famous Festiniog Railway. The railway was a pioneer of all things narrow gauge, this being reflected in the various narrow gauge railways around the world.
Rescued by volunteers in the early 1950's, the railway is one of North Wales' major tourist attractions.
I took up photography back in 2002, which came about through cycle racing all over Wales and th UK.Even when i was racing i often thought it would be nice to capture some of the stunning scenery i was speeding through,so when i decided to take a break from the sport i bought myself a battered old 35mm and taught myself through trial and error and a lot of photography magazines.In 2004 i made the switch to digital and haven't looked back. My main interest is landscapes, in particular old industry and how nature is slowly reclaiming the derelict remains; but i enjoy shooting steam railways, graffiti, city scapes and seaside/coastal views.

Update, 11:50 p.m. EST: Holland America, whose Rotterdam is due to call on Melbourne this Friday, has confirmed that its Wildlife and Wineries tour has been cancelled due to the tragic fires affecting the region. However, all other tours are on schedule and the ship is planning to port in Melbourne as scheduled. Stay tuned.
As cruise ships prepare to arrive in Melbourne in just a few days, up to 20 fires continue to burn in areas outside the city and the death toll is reported to have risen to 181.
Holland America's Rotterdam is due into Melbourne on Friday and P&O Cruises and Regent are scheduled to call next week. At this point, none of the lines have announced changes to itineraries or shore excursions.
However, we're still keeping a close eye on the impact the fires could have on upcoming shore tours. In fact, we've just today learned that an excursion was indeed cancelled this past weekend. In a response to inquiries from earlier this week, Carnival Australia -- which represents brands such as P&O Cruises and Princess in Australia -- tells us that Princess Cruises' Dawn Princess had to cancel its winery tour to the Yarra Valley when the ship was in port on Saturday, February 7. Sun Princess is due back in Melbourne on Tuesday -- but for embarkation, so no tours will be impacted.
Holland America offers a comparable tour to the wine region, but as mentioned above, has not yet announced any plans to cancel or alter it.
Though Australia's southeast region has been impacted by the deadly fires, the city of Melbourne has not suffered, and the majority of the area's world-renowned wine regions remain unaffected according to Tourism Australia.
We will continue to keep a close eye on shore excursions planned in the Victoria region.
We'll keep you posted.

They've loved me.
Once again after a lengthy and gushing nourishment of his body and mind, I return to this mask of myself — sunken eyes, droopy cheeks, and a hollowness that overwhelms the spirit.
The insomnia of separation from a man's thunder. When his shoulder hooks my head, and tweaks my worries like soft bread, the mind that directs me when I am driving directionless, and maps my journey, and to walk beside me, a guardian of my fragility, and the voice that encourages me, and applauds my success, rather than let it drip from jealously or preoccupation. How the laughter erupts in a moment of spontaneous passion. My observation of his secret revealed, unknowingly.
The gestures of him shaving, and the modest vanity after I re-wardrobe him.
Feeling his eyes in a crowd, undressing or admiring me, for some folly or expression.
The humor he finds in my misguided attempts to open bottles, and packages with a dull spoon, and figure out electronics.
How he will pardon and pamper my unwarranted fears of stalkers, misplacing my Progressive Prada glasses, and falling down the slippery wooden stairs.
The man whose balance evens my wrinkles.
Lets the light into my eyes.
Opens my shell with wonder and tenderness.
Why I write this is because the danger of reversing the purest form of love, is tempting me. This dragon argues with me for dressing up, for singing in the shower, and waving at neighbors, for whistling winds of change, hope, and all those iridescent rainbows I lived with John, and now are like submarine weights to lift each day.
It's like taking down the Christmas ornaments and returning to the blemishes of winter.
Yes, the dragon sees me in the mirror, and maybe you, but we cannot allow her to trample over our feminine skin.
