WBA 154-pound beltholder Austin Trout had to strip down to make the junior middleweight division limit, but he did, weighing 154 pounds on the dot for his title defense against former champ Miguel Cotto, who weighed 153.6 at Friday's weighin that took place at the Affinia Hotel in New York City.
Their Showtime-televised fight will take place at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night (9:00 p.m. PT/ET).
"I knew I was going to make weight, I'm not drained, I'm good," Trout told Showtime commentator Steve Farhood. "Tomorrow night, I'm going to make (Cotto's fans) my fans."
Cotto's fans, who packed the ballroom in the Manhattan hotel, might disagree with that statement.
"I'm greatful for the fans," Cotto told Farhood. "I only have one thing to say to (Trout): 'Come with the fight of your life because you're facing the fighter of your life.'"
Both fighters in the co-featured bout of the Showtime Championship Boxing broadcast made weight. Undefeated featherweight prospect Jayson Velez, of Puerto Rico, weighed in at 125.8 for his scheduled 12-round bout against Sal Sanchez II, the nephew of late great Mexican featherweight champ Salvador Sanchez, who weighed in at 125.2.

Water for Elephants

Love Quotes in Water for Elephants
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
[W]hen Marlena pulled the blanket back from his hair and I saw that it was red, I thought I might actually faint from joy. I never really doubted – not really, and I would have loved and raised him, anyway – but still. I damn near dropped over when I saw that red hair. (24.4)
Jacob says here that he would have loved Marlena's child even if August had been the father. They were going to become a family, and that's what he had signed on for. Still, it might have been a little more challenging to love someone with August's DNA. Luckily the child has "red hair," which shows that he's clearly Jacob's.

Roasted Carrots with Moroccan Spices Recipe

Roasted Carrots with Moroccan Spices Notes
This is a modification of a recipe in a book on Morocco.
Photo by Nancy Mullis of SheCooksHeCleans.
- 2 pounds whole baby carrots (or regular carrots sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Serves / Yields
4 to 6
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using regular carrots, cut them into thick slices. Toss in a bowl with oil and seasonings. Arrange in single layer in large roasting pan. Roast carrots, turning often, until browned and tender, approximately 30 minutes.
Helpful Hints
These are good hot, cold or inbetween. The original Moroccan recipe said to serve at room temperature.
For vegan roasted carrots, be sure to use vegan sugar or sweetener.
I would sub white sugar for brown sugar for an earthier flavor. A milder pepper or just use cilantro/Italian parsley as sub for cayenne.
Make it Again? Sandra M. would make this recipe again.
I really enjoyed this recipe to add to my low glycemic load recipes. Note - I substituted the sugar with Splenda and since my family doesn't like things as spicy, I substituted the Cayenne pepper with Ancho chile pepper from the Spice House, which worked out really well. I recommend toasting the cumin seed before hand and grinding it yourself.
Make it Again? Neal C. would make this recipe again.

The big day is here!
After years spent struggling to make their baby dreams come true, Bill and Giuliana Rancic will soon meet their new baby boy.
E! News reports that the couple's gestational carrier is in labor as I type, with the expectant parents nearby eagerly awaiting the arrival of their son.
Both Bill and Giuliana Tweeted about the occasion this evening: "It's Game Day," wrote Bill, while his wife reassured fans that they would be the "first to know" when their little one is born.
The reality stars have been very open about their long and often difficult path to parenthood; after miscarriages, unsuccessful IVF attempts and Giuliana's breast cancer diagnosis, they announced in April that they were expecting their first child via a surrogate.
Can't wait to hear the happy news!

Judging Photography at the San Diego County Fair
Written by | Joe Nalven | 7:03 p.m., May 24, 2011
Seems like ages ago when I last wrote about the San Diego County Fair, but it was just 2007 - when digital imaging was moved into the same exhibit room as photography. I called it, Rooming Together. One of the fairgoer's comments hit the mark. He said he preferred sharp divisions between art media and would have liked photography to be in one room as it had been for many years and for digital art to be in another room. However, "Since I can't tell whether an image I'm looking at has been digitally enhanced, it's just as well that they are in the same room."
That was then. This is now. Digital has been embraced and is integrated with many facets of what is photography.
The final rounds -- finding the grand prize winner. The images on the table have been blurred. You should go and see them at the Fair.
Although some categories are explicitly digital, others simply allow for film and/or digital, or alternative; if we were to draw a conclusion, it might be that the direction is one of looking at the subject matter and much less so the process and toolsets.
Still, wherever the lines are drawn for defining specific categories of photography, the challenge is for judges to spot the qualities of the first, second and third place winners and those deserving an honorable mention.
A subjective process to be sure, but an informed subjectivity. Just like you get when you go to a doctor for an opinion or a second opinion.
Will Gibson exercising his judgment
According to Georgia Ratcliffe, Photography Exhibition Coordinator, there were over 4100 photographic submissions to the San Diego County Fair this year. The newly installed online digital review selected over 1400 to be exhibited. The new process saved photographers considerable expense when they no longer had to print and mount images that would not have been selected.
To pick winners from among the more than 1400 images in 33 categories, Georgia Ratcliffe, and her assistant Ron Ham, pulled together seasoned teachers, photography professionals and advanced practitioners to judge these images. For the most part, the judges worked in two panels of two individuals along with volunteers who carried the images out for viewing, one by one, and cataloging the results.
An exacting process. But this helped guarantee a thoughtful sifting through the many images. Yes, there are alternate approaches, such as using a single juror. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. But this is the way of the Fair.
The dates of photography exhibition, and the Fair, runs from June 10th to July 4th. There will be photographer/speakers each weekend on Saturday and Sunday. The speaker list is on the Fair website.
The materials for hanging the exhibit are stored at the Fair.
There will also be a Judges Roundtable on Wednesday, June 15th at 7:00p in the Veranda Cafe, 2nd floor East Grandstand.
New this year and something everyone can take advantage of is engaging with the judges. What is their take on your photographs? A judges critique will be on Wednesday, June 22nd at 7:00pm at the same place (Veranda Cafe). This will allow you to bring a couple of images in to have a judge offer suggestions on technique, color, balance, and the like.
You will see this signage all around town. It is time for the Fair.
Be relevant, respectful, honest, discreet and responsible. Commenting Rules

Dallas Fire-Rescue to donate, install smoke detectors during "blitz"
Thanks to a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dallas Fire-Rescue will conduct a smoke detector "blitz" Saturday in Southeast Dallas. Sixteen DFR inspectors, along with volunteers from the Leslie K. Bedford Memorial Foundation will provide and install the 10-year lithium-powered smoke detectors within the community surrounding the Janie C. Turner Recreation Center at 6424 Elam Road.
While inspectors will be going door-to-door throughout the entire community, Census tracts have determined the streets of focus for this 'blitz' to be Elwayne, Jonelle, Ezekial and Bethpage Avenues. Inspectors will return to the neighborhood in May to cover the remaining streets.
DFR Inspectors, firefighters and the citizen volunteers will canvas homes and target groups that are at the highest risk – children ages 5 and younger and adults ages 65 and older. They will assist them with everything from installing the smoke detectors to educating them on fire safety.
The CDC grant — one of 17 like it the agency provides nationwide — has allotted $142,000 to DFR's Inspection and Life Safety Education for the purchase of smoke alarms, installation supplies, as well as supplies for conducting educational programs.
"While the grant provides us the means to supply the smoke detectors, it's the program itself that allows us to actually visit with the community and provide up close, personal and quality customer service," said Senior Fire Prevention Officer Carey Roper.
Saturday's blitz is scheduled to run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Residents who live in the blitz zone can call 3-1-1 to request help with their smoke alarms.

Cambridge Times reports that renowned drummer Derek Roddy (HATE ETERNAL, MALEVOLENT CREATION, NILE, DIVINE EMPIRE, AURORA BOREALIS, COUNCIL OF THE FALLEN) will hold a clinic on Thursday at the United Kingdom Club in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.The clinic — presented by Long and McQuade Music — begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. In addition to playing with the above-mentioned bands, Roddy is an avid drummer of any style and has performed as a strictly jazz, blues and rock musician. Some that play drums focus on speed, some on fills or solos. Roddy's motivation is to better himself, and to explore and expand the boundaries in music. Having had an interest in music from an early age, Roddy came to first be a fan of music before heading headstrong into the world of actually becoming a musician. While capable of playing many instruments and styles, he is now working on new projects with the band TODAY IS THE DAY. In addition, he has a retail drum business in Florida, and has clinics and seminars.

My Dog is Sneezing
A sneeze here and there is a normal event in a dog's life. You and I probably feel like it's a good thing to sneeze once in a while. Repeated sneezing, however, is not normal and may indicate a serious problem. If it goes on for too long, it may even lead to bleeding, and the sneezing will then turn into a bloody spray. If your dog is sneezing more than you think is normal, there are a few things you can do in order to get a better idea how serious it is.
What to Look For
Start your assessment by offering your dog a drink of water. Occasionally a drink alone will clear the oronasal passage of some irritant and resolve the sneezing. Next, look your dog straight in the eye and get an idea if there are any asymmetries of his eyes, face, or muzzle. If you have some sort of protective face- and eyewear, use it to prevent getting oral or ocular exposure to your dog's nasal discharge. Listen carefully to your dog's breathing in between the sneezing episodes. Try blocking first one nostril, then the other, to determine whether there is any form of partial or complete obstruction in either of the nasal passages. Use your flashlight and try to get a look into each of your dog's nasal openings.
What to Do
Ask yourself a few questions to figure out what to do next:
If your dog has allergies to various seasonal plants or pollens, this may explain the sneezing and your dog may respond well to an antihistamine such as Tavist, Claritin, or even Benadryl. In general, check with your vet for dosage and to confirm that your dog has no specific additional health risks that would prevent you from using them safely.

does anyone no of a las vegas forum like this one?
Can't say that I do, but, I keep an eye out for one.
speaking of forums for other cities, does anyone know of an Atlanta forum? I'm really interested in seeing pics of their buildings and developments since I have never been.
Is there a New Orleans forum by any chance?
I've done many googles for other city forums, but other than Ft. Worth and Houston's, I havent been able to find any (remotely comparable to this one) It would be cool to create a network of forums to make it easy to check up on other cities and get a heads up on their projects, news, etc. I do this to a certain extent on SSC and SSP, but they've become so childish (and more recently, ghetto) that I don't get much real info anymore.
No thread specified. Looks the webmaster wants us here.
I can only speak for myself. Just do not know of a Las Vegas forum or New Orleans. I am sure though that they exist.
We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.
That would be so awesome if there WAS a NOLA forum, since I went to high school there... Metairie to be exact.

"Where is he now?" ask former homeless and street friends.
A private investigator tracks down a homeless man and tells him a long-lost relative has left him a small fortune.
If this were a movie, you'd roll your eyes at the far-fetched plot. But Max Melitzer's story is no Hollywood fantasy. The Utah man was literally pushing a grocery cart filled with his possessions in June when private investigator David Lundberg found him in a Salt Lake City park.
Details quickly emerged: Melitzer was the only survivor of a car crash that killed his wife and two other people in 1990. Before the accident, "he had an apartment, and he had a wife and a life," his friend Karol Behling told the Deseret News. "I don't think he had a place to live after that. I think that's probably when he started the transience."
Melitzer bounced around the Salt Lake area for years, often staying in shelters and occasionally doing odd jobs. That is, until Lundberg found him.
The private investigator told Melitzer that his brother, Morris Melitzer of Schenectady, New York, had died in 2010. Morris, a veteran and a longtime General Electric employee, left Max an estate estimated to be worth $100,000.
Several of his friends in Utah said they haven't been in touch with him since news of the inheritance broke. Lecia Beckstrom knew Melitzer from the time he spent at her family's business, Beckstrom Body Shop in Ogden, Utah.
"We haven't heard a word from him," she said. "No phone call, no nothing. ... I wish he would stop by so we'd know what happened to him."
Jason Florez, leader of the homeless ministry at the Mountain View Christian Assembly of God in Sandy, hasn't seen Melitzer since a meeting with him and Lundberg, the private investigator.
"He said he was going to come back shortly," Florez said. "I just thought he'd want to come back, because it's familiar and to see his friends, but he never came back."

Does anyone blame him for not coming back?
My bet is all his homeless friends would start begging for money, and he knows it.
He got his second chance, hope he doesn't fuck it up.

He may be homeless, but Im sure he is smart enough to know that the other homeless people would hit him up for money along with the shelters asking for donations out of guilt.
I hope the uses the money to get back on his feet, and becomes a productive person once again.

It's his money and nobody's business where he's gone or what he's done with it. I don't blame him for disappearing - I'd do the same thing.

If he only got a house and no money, that is no fortune. You need cash to eat. At least he has a roof. He should quickly get a job, then he'll be fine.

Well it had to come; I'm a little surprised it took so long. The Triple A credit rating was like an elderly relative that you grew up with. Often reckless and occasionally fun, you were surprised that he had learned nothing and continued the wild-hog spending with seemingly no ill-effects. But as the enfant terrible grew up and aged, you knew the end had to come. Yesterday, it did.
Predictably enough the Beeboids gave Ed Balls* a primetime opportunity to shout at Osborne. Balls made the fair point that the Tories had indeed made this a bellwether for their economic competence (thereby revealing political miscalculation as well as economic ineptitude). He didn't quote the tory manifesto** which perhaps would have made the attack better; always use a man's own words against him if you can. Nonetheless it was an open goal, he could hardly miss.
Where he floundered, was when the BBC talking-head asked "What would you do?" He covered the predictable sound-bite territory of 'an immediate stimulus' but wasn't sure exactly how much this should be, or where the money would come from. The interviewer let him off of course, but it seems to me that a few points arise, namely;
~ Why is spending £100B more than you raise in tax, not enough stimulus, why would £110B (or whatever) would be the magic number?
~ If overspending got us into this mess, won't more over-spending just make things worse?
~ Wasn't this whole nonsense debunked intellectually as far back as Bastiat and certainly by Von Mises?
~ Doesn't the practical reality of countries from Japan to the PIGS show us that overspending is not the route to prosperity?
~ Doesn't the US economic contraction in 1920 show us that if you halve government spending in two years (which they did) the economy powers back (which it did)?***
~ If government spending is so good how come Greece isn't lending us money?
But the worst aspect of all of this slow-motion death was that had Labour won in 2010, we would be in more or less the same position. Sure the end may have come sooner, but we would be in the same place. Osborne as Shadow Chancellor would have been condemning Balls although he may have had a slightly tougher interview. The reality is, all the major parties have only one plan; spend, spend, spend. And that will lead us to the poor house and national bankruptcy.
I used to wonder, was it just real ignorance and total stupidity that made 'em like this. And sure enough some of the back-benchers are indeed pig-ignorant. But if you've been through some serious universities as most of the front benchers have, you must at some point have encountered Austrian economics. You would have to be criminally incurious not to know who Hayek was.
The real reason I think that none of 'em espouse it, is that on a fundamental level it shows the irrelevance of politics. Less government, less spending and fewer politicians is the route to prosperity and freedom. How many amongst the current crop of sociopathic criminals would admit this? Politics makes 'em rich and privileged (far beyond what most would achieve in the real world) while hammering the rest of us. The problem isn't left or right, its major party politics as currently practised. They are the same and voting for a change of personnel periodically will change nothing.
So it's time to stop voting major party. They have all had ample opportunity and their failure is manifest.
* In fairness to Balls, I find him so viscerally loathsome that if he said "let's stop that blind toddler from wandering into traffic I would find reasons to disagree" He's worse than John Selwyn Gummer or Hilary Clinton in this regard, even approaching the never before scaled peaks of Leon Brittan for smug creepiness.
** "We will safeguard Britain's credit rating with a credible plan to eliminate the bulk of the structural deficit over a Parliament."

2)benzaldehyde dispensers, pheromone dispensers containing grandisoic acid, and an additional stimulus, trans-2-hexenal. At petal fall, growers applied a full block insecticide application. In trap-tree plots, only the trap trees were subsequently treated with insecticide following the full block insecticide application. The grower-standard received insecticide sprays throughout the entire plot. Fruit injury evaluations are currently being made. The total number of fruit with oviposition scars and total number of oviposition scars are being recorded based on a sample of 20 fruit/tree in trap trees (with and without trans-2-hexenal) in the trap-tree plot and flagged control trees in the grower-standard plots, and in peripherally located trees surrounding each trap tree and control tree for a total of up to 6000 fruit per plot. In addition, 20 interior trees (20 fruit/tree) were sampled along diagonal paths from opposing corners of the trap-tree and grower-standard plots to provide a measure of efficacy of each treatment program to protect fruit from plum curculio immigration and injury. A total of 400 interior fruit per plot were sampled. In addition, a semi-field trial evaluating efficacy of promising entomopathogenic nematode strains including S. feltiae and S. riobrave against plum curculio larvae is being conducted in an untreated apple block. Larvae were released into small circular plots, nematode treatments applied, and various irrigation treatment regimes applied. Overall emergence of adult plum curculio will be measured. The ADODR has monitored activities through emails, site visits, and calls.

Ducks Recall Levasseur
Tuesday, 03.30.2010 / 2:27 PM PT / News
Anaheim starter Jonas Hiller was scratched after warmups prior to last night's 3-1 victory over Dallas when he complained of back spasms and did not make the trip to Colorado with the team this morning.
Levasseur, 23 (1/15/87), appeared in 25 contests with Springfield this season, posting an 8-16-1 record with a 3.59 goals-against average (GAA) and .896 save percentage (SV%). He recorded one shutout with the Falcons, stopping all 49 shots he faced in a 4-0 triumph over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Feb. 14. A native of Victoriaville, Quebec, Levasseur recorded a 2.25 GAA and .925 SV% over a seven-game span with Springfield from Jan. 13-29, in which he won five of those seven contests (5-2-0). In addition, he had a three-game win streak (3-0-0) in that span, stopping 98-of-106 shots for a .925 SV% and 2.59 GAA from Jan. 13-17. The 6-0, 199-pound netminder also appeared in five contests with Bakersfield of the ECHL (2-3-0, 3.63 GAA, .903 SV%) and 16 games with Laredo of the Central Hockey League (10-3-3, 2.31 GAA, .919 SV%) this season.
Selected by Anaheim in the seventh round (197th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Levasseur appeared in 41 contests last season with the Iowa Chops, Anaheim's then-affiliate in the AHL. He went 13-18-4 with a 3.11 GAA and .890 SV%. In 76 career AHL contests, Levasseur has gone 25-39-6 with a 3.19 GAA and .892 SV%. Playing four seasons of junior hockey with Rouyn-Noranda of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) from 2004-07, Levasseur led the league in wins in both 2005-06 (35) and 2006-07 (31). In 148 career QMJHL contests, he posted a 74-56-4 record with a 3.55 GAA.

Around the world, authoritarian regimes have tried to keep their citizens from hearing news of the protests raging throughout the Middle East and in their own countries. Some have tried shutting down cellphone and Internet service, but that has only sparked new flames of anger and discontent.
Even the Chinese government, which has unleashed the most sophisticated Internet blocking system in the world, can't contain all the information and chatter on countless websites, social networks and blogs. [...]
But there is one country that has actually managed to keep the vast majority of its population in the dark: North Korea. Unlike its neighbor China, which has more than 450 million Internet users, the Internet in North Korea is banned for the average citizen. There's no need for the government to block threatening websites, because most North Koreans have never used a computer, let alone understand what a URL is.
In March 2009, while working on a story along the China-North Korean border, I was taken captive by North Korean soldiers and held inside that isolated country for nearly five months. Though I was confined to a room with two guards watching over me at all times, I was able to get an interesting glimpse of the country's propaganda machine.
In the guards' area, a television would blare black-and-white films depicting evil South Korean and American soldiers being beaten back by the North's heroic forces. Elaborate rallies were broadcast with people shouting nationalistic slogans as soldiers marched in unison. And there was frequent coverage of the "Dear Leader," Kim Jong Il, presiding over the opening of factories or schools.
To this day, I can conjure up the tune to North Korea's national anthem, because every evening at 5, when television broadcasts began airing, I was subjected to the sounds of the men's military choir patriotically belting out the lyrics of the communist revolutionary anthem. Every Sunday night, a segment dedicated to international news would feature negative stories about the United States or natural disasters in other countries. It seemed that one responsibility of the government censors was to make the rest of the world appear worse off than North Korea.
Fortunately, I was allowed to receive letters from family and friends, which kept me somewhat connected to what was happening in the outside world. My husband, Iain, scanned pages and photos from newspapers and magazines. In excerpts he sent from the Economist, I learned that hundreds of thousands of Iranians had taken to the streets of Tehran in June 2009 to protest President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection.
On North Korean television, the picture of events taking place in Iran was very different. North Koreans saw only images of jubilant Iranians celebrating Ahmadinejad's victory. I tried to tell my guard that there was another reality from the one being presented on TV. In broken English, she said she didn't understand. It truly seemed that she couldn't comprehend the idea of a people rising up against their leadership and demanding change.
Despite having a near-total lockdown on information that gets transmitted to its population, Kim's totalitarian regime has to be finding it harder and harder to keep the world at bay. North Korea shares borders with two of the most wired countries in the world, and information is seeping in from both sides. [...]There is more to the editorial, follow the link to check it out if you are interested.

The Prince of Wales launched the Campaign for Wool in January 2010 as an initiative to expand the market for British and Commonwealth wool and promote awareness of its environmental benefits.
On hearing about the low prices British farmers were receiving for their wool, The Prince of Wales convened a group of representatives from the fashion and interior design industries.
His Royal Highness is passionate about natural sustainability and knows that the production of wool involves far lower carbon emissions than man-made fibres. Carpets made from wool also reduce heating costs and provide immeasurable safety benefits than their synthetic counterparts. Unlike many man-made materials, wool naturally biodegrades at the end of its useful life.
On a freezing cold day in January, The Prince of Wales launched the Campaign in front of a group of fashion, carpeting and insulation industry experts. In his speech, The Prince highlighted the many benefits wool had to offer. Not only is it a sustainable, versatile material which keeps us warm and cool at the same time; buying wool rewards some of the hardworking sheep farmers in the world.
A firm supporter of sheep farmers, The Prince was interested in seeing how the benefits of this material could be better explained to people so that they appreciated the benefits of choosing a natural product.
As a result, The Campaign for Wool has seen wool growing organisations from the United Kingdom, Australia ,New Zealand and Norway working together to remind the world of wool's usefulness.
In 2010, the Campaign for Wool staged London Wool Week where fifty-five retailers came together to promote wool. Major British retailers supported the initiative which saw a herd of sheep grazing on a newly turfed over Savile Row.
In 2011, support for Wool Week increased further with famous fashion brands and designers including Dame Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith lending their names to the woolly cause.
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall attended the launch of the Wool Modern Exhibition at in London where they joined renowned figures from the fashion and design industries to view the best of wool in carpets, insulation products and fashion pieces. Wool Week is now being recreated in a host of international cities, including Milan, Madrid and Oslo.
His Royal Highness has a long-standing dedication to helping farmers. In 2004, The Prince launched the Mutton Renaissance Campaign, to help support the income of family farms who found they were not able to sell Mutton, which comes from a two-year-old sheep, due to a decrease in demand for the meat.
The Prince also established The Prince's Countryside Fund in July 2010, which acts as an emergency fund to farmers who fall victim to unexpected difficulties such as Foot and Mouth disease and flooding.

CHICAGO, Ill. - Dealer Expo show management announced today that more than 2,000 dealer and retailer managers and associates have already registered for the December event.
Registration opened just four weeks ago for Dealer Expo 2014 which, along with the National Dealer Symposium, will be held Dec. 4-7 in Chicago's downtown McCormick Place.
"We're very pleased to see such high [early] interest from the buyer community. It really validates the new model -- the new dates, the new location and the new content."
-- Tracy Harris
"It's very early yet – a good eight months from the show – so we're very pleased to see such high interest from the buyer community," said Tracy Harris, senior vice president of Advanstar's Powersports Group. "It really validates the new model -- the new dates, the new location and the new content."
Dealer Expo's audience development team is a dedicated group unique to Advanstar among U.S. trade show companies. According to Renee Andrews, outbound call manager, responses from dealers 500 to 1,000 miles from Chicago "have naturally been very positive." But, she said, "it's also been exciting to have unsolicited registrations coming in from such key states as California and Florida, as well as from around the world," including 26 countries.
Markets served by the earliest registrants span the market, and include ATV/UTV, streetbike/touring, American V-twin, off-road motorcycling, scooters and mopeds, metric bikes, PWC, snowmobile and kart, Andrews said.
One of the key drivers for the early registrants is Dealer Expo's new content program, which includes the National Dealer Symposium hosted by Dealernews, the DX14 Product Showcase, the DX14 Dealership, Brand Forum product demonstrations, Lunch 'n Learn programs, and evening events, including the Top 100 Dealer Awards Gala.
National Dealer Symposium. Developed and delivered by Dealernews in partnership with professional education organizations, the National Dealer Symposium is an all-day in-depth education program to be presented on Thursday, Dec. 4. Scheduling all sessions on Thursday prevents conflicts with activities on the show floor and will allow dealers and retailers to fully immerse themselves in acquiring the information and knowledge presented.
The DX14 Product Showcase. Located at front of the show, the DX14 Product Showcase is a comprehensive wrap-up of the products and services rolled out globally in 2014 along with a preview of products to be announced in early 2015. Attendees will be able to scan a display's QR code for a quick upload of the product's details and where to find the exhibiting supplier.
The DX14 Dealership. Easy to find right in the middle of the show, this all-new model store is a self-guided dealership tour featuring the latest approaches for department design and product merchandising. A new Model Storeroom feature will provide top-of-the-hour mini-lectures on inventory management and moving obsolete parts.
Brand Forum Product Demos. The Brand Forum product demo stages will feature more than 100 presentations on how to order, how to sell, how to market and how to display the latest products from the Dealer Expo exhibitors, with special incentives for ordering at the show.
Lunch-and-Learns. It's one topic per table, limited to 10 people, including moderator. These lively, informal discussions to be held Friday through Sunday will allow attendees to discuss challenges, gain new ideas and make new connections.
Evening events include a dealer reception on Wednesday night, the Top 100 Dealer Awards Gala on Thursday night, a special event in downtown Chicago on Friday night and the big Industry Party on Saturday night, which will kick off the 50th anniversaries of Dealernews and Dealer Expo in 2015.

CANTON, Ill. – June 19, 2013 – William "Bill" Peak, 69, a lifelong Canton resident and avid sportsman, passed away on Aug. 8, 2012, leaving his firearms, decoys, boats and hunting equipment to Ducks Unlimited. The collection sold for nearly $60,000 at a local public auction.
"Everyone knew that Bill had some nice guns," said Emil Boucek, chairman of the Fulton County Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and one of Peak's hunting companions. "Even so, I was surprised by how large this gift turned out to be. I think letting friends and neighbors have a chance to purchase items was a nice consideration and really helped make sure Bill's things brought top dollar."
The net proceeds of the auction will support DU's wetlands conservation efforts across the country and have posthumously qualified Peak as a Heritage Sponsor.
"We are pleased to honor Mr. Peak and his passion for waterfowl this way," said Jonathan Rich, DU managing director of gift planning. "Ducks Unlimited is very fortunate to have members and supporters like Bill who share our commitment to conservation."
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Newtown Township
Planning Commission Minutes
June 17, 2003
MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING (6/17/03): Mr. Fidler moved to approve the minutes of the 6/17/03 meeting; the motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and passed unanimously, with Mr. Ward, Mr. Dieterle and Mr. Mendicino abstaining.
The Newtown Township Planning Commission met on Tuesday, June 17, 2003, in the lower level Township meeting room. In attendance were: Chairperson Karen Doorley; members Allen Fidler, Paul Kester, Jim Ott, Jay Sensibaugh, Bob Dieterle, Sue Beasley and Vince Lombardi. Also in attendance were: Township Engineer Chris Walker, Township Solicitor Dave Sander, Township Planner Judy Goldstein and Township Public Works Director Tom Harwood.
Chairperson Karen Doorley called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM.
MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING (6/3/03): Mr. Sensibaugh moved to approve the minutes of the 6/3/03 meeting with one change. Under General Discussion, Mr. Kester's Retirement, the last sentence should read "There was general support for this suggestion." The motion was seconded by Mr. Ott and passed unanimously.
AMENDED FINAL PLAN - VILLAGE AT NEWTOWN SOUTH - SOUTH EAGLE ROAD - TMP# 29-10-85 & 29-10-85-5: Attorney John VanLuvanee was present to discuss the proposal to construct a retail building and a drive-through bank on a 16.3142 acre site in the PC District. The proposed amended plan has been discussed several times by the Commission.
Mr. Sander said he, Mr. Harris and Mr. VanLuvanee met and researched the land development history of this site. He said they found that in 1991 a seventh revised final plan was approved, but never recorded or built. In 1996 an eighth revised final plan was approved and recorded. This plan showed 36,000 SF of approved office space in the area in which the present applicant wishes to build. The present proposed plan is for the same number of square feet but with a different use and a different layout. A community center is mentioned in the 1991 plan but not the 1996 plan; therefore, the applicant is not required to build a community center.
Ms. Goldstein said that parking and dimensional requirements for office and retail uses in a shopping center are the same.
Mrs. Doorley asked if plan approvals expire after a certain time. Mr. Sander said the ordinance states that they do expire after five years unless the plan is "substantially complete". In his opinion, a majority of the 1996 plan is built.
Mrs. Doorley asked if the applicant will comply with the review letters. Mr. VanLuvanee said the applicant will comply with all points in the review letters that apply to this plan. Mrs. Doorley asked him to identify the specific points which he does not think are applicable.
The Commission discussed the 4/10/03 Pennoni Associates review letter. Ms. Goldstein and Mr. Sander commented that they were not present at the meeting in which this letter was first discussed (4/15/03), but Mr. Walker said he was present, and he had his notes with him. Mr. VanLuvanee said the applicant will comply with all points with the following exceptions:
III A 6 - requirement for a major bike path. Mr. Van Luvanee said he thinks this does not
III A 7 - buffering between parking and street. Mr. VanLuvanee said this does not apply,
since South Eagle Road was never dedicated and is not a street. However, he agreed to put some buffering
around the front and sides of the parking lot consistent with the rest of the
development. Commission members agreed
with this plan.
III A 9 - information on occupants. Mr. VanLuvanee said this will be complied
with when the occupants are known.
III A 10 - impervious surface calculations. Mr. VanLuvanee said he can provide calculations for the area to be developed. Mr. Kester said the Commission cannot recommend approval without calculations for the entire site.
Mr. Kester moved to table this matter until the applicant provides calculations for the entire site. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and failed 3-4, with Mr. Dieterle, Mr. Ott, Mr. Lombardi and Mr. Fidler voting "nay" and Mrs. Beasley abstaining.
Mr. Fidler noted that there were many informal agreements between the previous owner of this property and the Township regarding impervious surface, making it difficult to determine the present situation. Mr. Lombardi said the real issue is whether the stormwater management is adequate to handle what is being proposed. He said his impression is that the basins on this site are over-sized.
The Commission continued its review of the Pennoni Associates letter:
III A 11 - stormwater requirements based on
pre-development runoff. Mr. VanLuvanee
said the requirements do not apply because the area to be developed is
currently a parking lot. Mr. Walker
agreed to research whether this point is applicable.
III B 19 - offsite stormwater provisions. Mr. Walker said that if the east side
parcels are sold, the west side parcels will not have access to the detention
basin. Mr. VanLuvanee said he has some
declarations that were recorded that he believes resolve this problem. He will provide copies to the Solicitor; if
the Solicitor determines that they do not, he will comply with this point. He noted that point III B 23 is the same
III A 26 - basin plantings. Mr. Van Luvanee said this point does not apply, since the plan
for the basin is approved and the applicant is just going to finish it. He noted that the Township still has escrow
funds for the construction of the basin.
Mr. Sander said the plan for the basin should still be on the
applicant's proposed plan.
III B 29 - dedication of land for park and recreation
use. Mr. Harwood said the applicant can
determine if dedication or a fee in lieu of is required by researching the
Township's correspondence files on earlier approvals.
III D 40 and 41 - traffic impact study and traffic impact fee. The Township Engineer will research if these are required.
Mr. VanLuvanee said the applicant will comply with all points in the Boucher & James letter of 3/12/03 except for Point B 3 b, which requires that the plan show where the existing transformers will be relocated. He said PECO will determine the locations.
Mr. Van Luvanee said that the applicant will comply with the Emergency Services letter of 2/27/03, the Conservation District letter of 3/14/03 and the Bucks County Planning Commission letter of 3/25/03.
Mr. VanLuvanee said he does not intend to return to the Commission, since the review letters have been gone over twice. Mr. Lombardi said the Commission can make a recommendation now, since the outstanding issues are matters of fact and are not controversial. Other members said some matters are controversial.
Mr. Lombardi moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve the amended final plan for the Village at Newtown South, contingent on compliance with the Pennoni Associates review letter of 4/10/03, with the following open issues to be resolved:
III A 6 - Is a

The motion was seconded by Mr. Fidler.
Discussion of motion: Mrs. Beasley said if the motion passes with all these open issues, the Commission will be passing the plan on to the Board of Supervisors without doing its job. Mr. Kester agreed. Mr. Sander noted that Mr. VanLuvanee has said he will not grant an extension, so the plan would have to be considered at the first Board meeting in July. If the majority of Commission members are not ready to make a recommendation tonight, they will have to vote to recommend denial of the plan.
Mr. VanLuvanee said he will grant a 30 day extension if Township staff can provide all the needed information by then. Mr. Sander asked if the Engineer will be able to determine if the basin is adequate in 30 days; Mr. Walker said he will be able to do so.
Mr. Lombardi's motion failed 0-8, with all members present voting "nay".
PROPOSED REZONING OF ROBERTS NURSERY TRACT - NEWTOWN-YARDLEY ROAD: Mr. Fidler removed himself from the Commission for this item, as he is the applicant. Attorney Don Marshall and planner Rob Dusak were also present to discuss the proposal to add an H-15 Agricultural Retail Use, accessory to Agricultural Use, to the R-2 District. A revised proposed ordinance amendment had been distributed to Commission members earlier.
Mr. Fidler said one open issue was described in his cover letter. He asked for discussion of the overall size of the H-15 Use relative to the Agricultural Use. Ms. Goldstein clarified that the ten acre minimum applies only to the H-15 Use area. Since the H-15 area cannot exceed 50% of the area devoted to the principal use, a site smaller than 30 acres cannot take advantage of the H-15 provision. She said the ordinance does not state this directly, but it has this effect.
Mr. Sander suggested the following wording for the last sentence of Section 803 H 2: "The Agricultural Retail use area shall not exceed 50% of the land area devoted to the principal agricultural use."
Mrs. Doorley said she received e-mail messages from officials in other municipalities expressing a favorable opinion of the proposed H-15 ordinance.
Mr. Sander also suggested that the second sentence of Section 803 H be reworded as follows: "…fruits and vegetables, livestock, poultry, and lawn and garden supplies and equipment produced on or off the site."
Ms. Goldstein asked if Mr. Fidler can live with the 35% maximum impervious surface for the agricultural use, as shown in the table of performance regulations in Section 405 B. Mr. Fidler said his present agricultural use is 27% impervious, so he felt the 35% maximum is not a problem.
Ms. Goldstein recommended that Section 405 D be titled "Special Regulations - Agricultural Retail Accessory Use (H-15)", and that Section 405 D 2 be revised to read "The temporary outdoor sale of merchandise…" Mr. Harwood commented that "seasonal" sales tend to go on year round as one season is replaced with another.
Ms. Goldstein suggested that Section 803 H 7 be changed to read "…five hundred (500) square feet of outdoor sales area…"
Mr. Fidler indicated that all the changes proposed by the Commission are acceptable to him.
Mr. Kester moved to send the proposed ordinance, as amended in tonight's discussion, to the Board of Supervisors for their review. If it is satisfactory, the Commission further recommends that the Board forward the proposed ordinance to the other participating municipalities in the Jointure for their review. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sensibaugh and passed unanimously, with Mr. Fidler abstaining.
ZONING HEARING BOARD APPLICATIONS: The Commission reviewed the following applications and had no comments on them:
599-03 - Kim - 5 Dorchester Lane
600-03 - Huff - 502 Atwood Court
601-03 - Steffani - 62 Jonquil Drive
SYCAMORE STREET COMMITTEE: Mr. Lombardi reported that the pre-bid meeting is being planned.
PARK AND RECREATION BOARD: Mr. Ott reported that the Board recently discussed the Village at Newtown South plan. They also discussed development of the Woll Tract with a group of residents who were present at the meeting. Mr. Ott said access to the Woll Tract is a controversial issue. Mr. Fidler said plans for developing the tract should go through the regular land development process, beginning with a sketch plan review by the Commission.
CORRESPONDENCE: The Commission earlier received copies of the following correspondence:
A 6/10/03 letter from Mr. Sander regarding the
Stockburger proposal
A 6/3/03 letter from Mr. Sander regarding the
McLaughlin Tract
A 6/12/03 e-mail message from Fran Poole, president of the Cliveden Homeowners Association, regarding the trail on Eagle Road near the Hoffa Tract.
OLD BUSINESS: None.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PAUL KESTER'S RETIREMENT: Mrs. Doorley thanked Mr. Kester for his many years of service on the Planning Commission, and presented him with a gift certificate for dinner at a local restaurant.
Mr. Kester said he has served on the Planning Commission for 12 of the last 15 years, and it has been a great experience. He said that members have not always agreed with each other, but it is always important to respect each other's integrity.
ADJOURNMENT: Mr. Kester moved to adjourn. With no objections, the meeting was adjourned at 10:35 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gretta Stone, Recording Secretary

Are Humans to Blame for Africa's Lost Rainforests?Breaking News
About 3000 years ago, Central Africa was a landscape in transition. Lush evergreen forests were gradually giving way to savannas and grasslands as regional climate change pushed the formerly humid weather patterns toward drier, slightly warmer conditions. But climate was not the only factor at play. According to a new study, an influx of humans into the region at this time may have helped drive some of the original rainforests into oblivion.
The paper's results, published online today in Science, came as a surprise to the researchers. "To be honest, at the beginning we were not at all aware of this human issue," says lead author Germain Bayon, a geochemist at the French Research Institute for Exploration of the Sea in Plouzané.
He and his colleagues originally set out to investigate the relationship between precipitation and chemical weathering, or the breakdown of soils and rocks. They analyzed marine sediment cores collected near the mouth of the Congo River, where thousands of years of runoff have accumulated. Because rocks are composed of different minerals, Bayon explains, those materials that are more susceptible to weathering will more readily erode away, eventually washing into the ocean and forming layers of clay on the bottom. By analyzing clay's composition, scientists can reconstruct the intensity of past weathering and infer environmental conditions....

Hello Yan,
It looks like you are using the wrong iptables chain here, use FORWARD
instead of the current one, which is used to filter routing traffic
assuming you are configuring your local router as noted on your post.
Also i advice you to have a look at iptables' statefull inspection
functionality (look at the state module in the man)

- - how about another 'critique my 3's' thread (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/37096-how-about-another-critique-my-3s.html)
how about another 'critique my 3's' thread UPDATE
I know you are all sick of 'help me with 360s' threads but this one has videos and everybody loves videos! especially in slow-motion.
first one i did a better 3, but the vid is not as good (make sure to watch in 720p!):
YouTube - CIMG0929
second one is in slow-motion. i know i reverted the landing pretty bad. i think i scrubbed too much speed at the lip and got my rotation started before i left the jump.
YouTube - CIMG0934
i know it's a small jump and i do wanna go bigger because i am comfortable going off 15-20 ft jumps but the next one up is a rather large looking 35 footer...
My only critique (not an instructor so I'm not a pro at this) is to not carve so much 50 feet out from the lip. If you start closer, go straight, then carve for torque that's a better alternative. If you focus too much on your speed and all of that, you loose focus on what's at task. You have nice form to generate torque but carve wayyy to much before needed.
It is also extremely natural to start spinning before we take off of the lip. If you watch the free Snowboard Addiction videos they go way into those kinds of things.
If you're just starting your spins you're starting out good, you even threw a grab in. Keep working on it, soon you'll be throwing 3's like turning. Keep it up :thumbsup:
yeah i know the vid shows i am carving in a fair bit and therefore losing a fair bit of speed. i think i'm trying too hard to set up a perfect 'platform' like in the snowboard addiction videos.
Yeah I would say waaaay too much of a carve and not enough distance on the spin, but you do have good style because you're not jerking the 3 around and you're keeping it one fluid motion. I'd suggest making your entry a little more straight by doing some front 180s and try to get further down the landing by coming in with more speed. Then use that same speed when throwing a 360...and instead of looking between your feet for the landing, which is forcing your head to come around too early, look at the knuckle, back up hill while you land, this will stop you from reverting. Once you land and start down the hill then turn your head in the direction you are going.
If you look at the tape at about 9 second mark. You are at the transition and you are already turned 45 degrees approx. I think you need to start your set-up turn a little later so you are farther up the lip and shooting off straight. I think this will also give you the spin and smooth landing without over rotating.
NICE blind landing too :thumbsup:
went out again today to a different mountain and tried some 3s in the park there. i was feeling it today and really trying to minimize my carves in. this was actually not one of my greatest ones but the camera man wasn't too adept at filmography...
YouTube - FS 360 day 2
my landing was a bit awkward. i had a couple that i stomped on the toe edge and rode away completely straight.
Bend your knees ! That second takeoff is like super straight legged on the takeoff.
Looking good Ryan! As Extremo and Wolf said, tone down the carve a bit and use spotting the landings to slow down the spin.
You can also, find these tips here:
Snowboard Addiction
Take this with a grain of salt cause I don't know jack about park.
My observation is that on the landing you are breaking at the waist and not bending your knees to absorb the landing. Arms kinda seem like they are flailing excessively during landing as well.
