This is a discussion on Micro-Stamping Ammo - Just Follow The Money within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; The old saying "If you want to find out why something is happening just follow the money." was never as true as it is with ...
The old saying "If you want to find out why something is happening just follow the money." was never as true as it is with the micro-stamping of serial numbers on ammunition.
I received an email from an organization to which I belong. The email was basically about why micro-stamping of ammo was now being talked about in the legislatures of some 18 states.
It seems that a business group in Seattle has acquired the patents for a particular type of micro-stamping of ammunition and they won't make a dime on their venture unless they can get a bunch of states to enact laws requiring it [micro-stamping].
So what have they done? They have hired lobbyists to lobby all of the individual states into passing these micros-stamping laws.
Fortunately, these bills have died in committee in every state.
The text of that email follows:Like I said, If you wanna know why something is happening, just follow the money.Group tries to profit off gun control legislation
Ammo Accountability group has patents on technology used to enforce legislation they sponsor but their scheme isn't getting traction
A visit to the website Ammunition Accountability.org -- they also run a mirror .com site -- would lead you to believe that they were a grassroots conglomeration of concerned citizens and civic leaders with an unimpressive, low-tech website.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
The Ammunition Accountability Act and corresponding website are run by a company that developed the technology necessary to enforce the same legislation they lobby for. In other words, the founders of the Ammunition Accountability Act are pushing legislation which will have a direct and substantial financial benefit to them.
The legislation calls for each individual piece of ammunition produced to be etched or stamped with a unique serial number. This patented technology was developed by Russ Ford and his business partners Steve Mace and John Knickerbocker of Seattle, Washington.
Ford and his associates were unable to convince any ammunition manufacturers to use their technology, so they hired a lobbyist to push for state-level ammo tagging legislation.
Ostensibly Ford and company are billing this legislation as a way to stop violent crime by tracking handgun and assault weapon ammunition.
However, the sample text of their legislation -- provided on their website -- would outlaw the ownership of all non-tagged ammo of any caliber. Additionally, the legislation would require a state-run database to track each ammunition serial number and information on who purchased each round of ammo.
Not only does the legislation directly aim to financial benefit Ford and his business partners, but it will push most ammunition manufactures out of business, and make home reloading ammunition illegal.
Their legislation has been introduced in 18 states in 2008.
However, none of introduced pieces of legislation have gotten beyond committee hearings in any state. They have all died, most killed in their first committee of reference.. Each of the introduced bills has died on their respective calendars when each state legislative session adjourned sine die.
In Colorado, this legislation has never even been introduced, though for the last two years there has been a group urging legislators to carry this legislation.
Our office has been flooded with daily e-mails about this issue, many of them -- wrongly -- asserting that the legislation has already passed. It's simply not true.
Ammunition Accountability is little more than a couple of anti-gunners trying to cash in on hoplophobia.
the web link is: Ammunition Accountability Home
An armed populace are called citizens.
An unarmed populace are called subjects.
Every time this issue comes up in your state start firing off the emails to your legislators and Reps. Eventually this sham will go away.
One more step and it's on!
Glad we have common sense here in Colorado.In Colorado, this legislation has never even been introduced, though for the last two years there has been a group urging legislators to carry this legislation.That is exactly what needs to be done. Every time!Every time this issue comes up in your state start firing off the emails to your legislators and Reps.

Beyoncé in Vogue: Still Addressing Surrogacy Rumors
"Who even thinks that?"
This weekend, the sequel to Beyoncé's April 2009 Vogue cover leaked online, forcing Vogue.com to post the accompanying story today — or perhaps that was Anna's plan all along. The article describes B's forthcoming projects, her friendships with Gwyneth Paltrow and Kelly Rowland, and how she frequents the same "bring-your-own-wine pizzeria" in Brooklyn as the writer. (It's Lucali, according to our Grub Street brethren.) But Beyoncé also talks, a lot, about motherhood, a topic she doesn't often discuss.
"I felt very maternal around eight months," she remembers. "And I thought I couldn't become any more until I saw the baby .... But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain .... We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication."
She adds, "It was the best day of my life" — certainly a reprieve following months of speculation that she wasn't, in fact, pregnant. Beyoncé and her camp have previously addressed rumors she hired a surrogate: In an October 2011 interview, her publicist told ABC News the rumblings were "stupid, ridiculous, and false," and last year, B called the scenario "crazy ... It wasn't hurtful, it was just crazy." Apparently, she revisits the topic (again) in her documentary Life Is But a Dream. From Vogue:
Today, the gossip bewilders her more than it angers her. "That was very odd," Beyoncé says now. "Who even thinks that? Like, who would make that up .... You can't take it too seriously."
Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, who calls the pregnancy rumors "the most ridiculous thing in the world," admits she has a harder time letting gossip slide. "It's tough as a mother because people say all this crazy stuff ... and I want to say, 'You should tell them' sometimes. She'll say, 'Mom, I don't owe them that. Let them say what they want to say.'"
More Beyoncé on Parenting Fun Facts: She refers to her daughter Blue Ivy as her "homey" and "best friend," and mentions she "definitely" wants to have another baby, "but I don't know when." It is B's year. Add it to the To-Do List, after world tour.

The Hound of the Baskervilles
updated 12.08.2003
I agree with other comments...what a marvelous production and a great treat for viewers. I can't believe no one else has mentioned what a great actor Richard E. Grant is. Such a superb villain! And a great romantic leading man as well. This actor can play any kind of role. His talent awes me. PBS and Masterpiece Theatre are brilliant for recognizing the talents of R.E. You rock!

I wonder why, in adapting Conan Doyle's story to a screenplay, the writers changed the legend of the Curse of the Baskervilles. Surely the original is more horrifying.
Claudia Davidsen
Ruskin, FL
Wonderfully done. Almost an Orson Welles-like touch in the lighting and the mysterious grandeur of the moor. I've never been there but I was drawn to them and walked them just as Watson and Holmes did. New feeling to the relationship between Watson and Holmes. A friendly irritation instead of Watsonian adulation of past presentations. Really a joy to watch. Thanks much.

I have never really sat down to watch a movie on PBS but this one drew me in from the get go. I think this was my first Masterpiece Theatre experience and I can truly say it is to be the first of many. Excellent film! You find yourself trying to stay one step ahead of the good detective. I have seen several movies trying to portray Sherlock Holmes and Watson and I think this was the first to get them right on, to portray them as Doyle wanted them to be seen.

Thank you for a fine effort in this adaptation of Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. It is very unusual to see a Sherlock Holmes who is so precariously on the edge of disaster at every turn. He is one of the most imperfect Holmes ever. It makes him one of the most human as well. This is a blessing and a curse. I have come to expect Holmes to be so very much in control -- an "automaton" in fact. It violates traditional notions about our favorite detective.
I have ordered a copy of this video from WGBH as I am a very big fan of the canon and thought this a worthy effort. However, I will watch it with mixed emotions as I cannot help but continue to compare this Holmes -- and any Holmes -- with the definitive portrayal of the famous detective by the late, great Jeremy Brett. "What a loss he is, doctor."
John Liddicoat
Elk Grove, CA
I have been a devoted reader of the Sherlock Holmes stories since the age of twelve. I have seen many actors portray the great detective and his friend, Dr. Watson. In my humble opinion, the truest interpretations were those of the late Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by the performances of Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart. I found the overall production to be quite good with an excellent supporting cast, especially Richard E. Grant (who by the way would make a spot on Holmes).
Several issues marred my experience. Anyone who has a passing acquaintance with Holmes knows that he did use cocaine, but never, ever did he use it while he was on a case. His use of the narcotic was in response to the lack of mental stimulation he suffered while not occupied. In your version, the inference is that he needed the drug in order to activate his mental powers. Nothing could be further from the truth. Also, why did poor Mrs. Stapleton have to meet such a dreadful fate? Wasn't her suffering and manipulation at the hands of her dastardly husband enough drama? Finally, whose idea was it to make a cartoon character out of the hound? What was that? I sat there not knowing what to make of it. There are many breeds of large dogs, which could have handsomely portrayed the hound. After all the point is that it is not a hound from hell, but a huge dog that has been beaten and trained to be a killer.
It's too bad that the most egregious of these mistakes took place at the end of the piece, putting a very poor topping on what had been an overall enjoyable experience.
Adele Vera-Angel

What an appallingly botched mess. Here you have one of the great classics of detective literature, and you take Conan Doyle's story and twist it into ruination, throwing in every bad plot device but a vitriol throwing. Salacious and inappropriate drug use, a peevish Watson with periodic contempt for the Master Detective (to the point of disobedience), bizarre dialogue, the placing of the action at Christmas, Barrymore claiming an 'affair' in explanation for the strange light signals...I could go on and on. This risible mess ends with Beryl Stapleton hanging from a rope in the barn, Watson flying into a rage and shooting up the place, receiving a bullet himself for his pains, Holmes stupidly wallowing off into Grimpen Mire, another shoot-out and more bad dialogue. Not to mention the ludicrous Hound, like something out of a Transformer cartoon. It would be harder to concoct a poorer adaptation of Doyle's gripping, stylish, beautifully realized tale than this botched mess. And no, Holmes did not have blonde hair, a pudgy waistline, and a penchant for shooting up while on a case, like some common lowlife addict.
Ellen L. Schaller

Here is a quick question: When Holmes joins Watson and Stapleton in the billiards room, the camera suddenly cuts to someone's shoes. Whose shoes -- Holmes or Stapleton's --were they, and what did it mean (show)?
I am not a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle devotee, so it does not bother me that this production apparently showed so much diversion from the original novel. This production created a mesmerizing story, and I will purchase the video so that my husband can see it too. The airing time was perfect for Halloween and the coming Christmas season. I thank Masterpiece Theatre for including it in their schedule.

I loved Roxburgh and Hart in their roles as Holmes and Watson. Please, please, let us have more of this pair. As an Ian Hart fan, I loved seeing him portray Watson as a thinking man and not a mere shadow of Holmes.
Joyce Wrobbel
Wilmington, DE
Thank you for broadcasting this fresh, new adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles. I was inspired after viewing this movie to read several more Sherlock Holmes stories. I have also utilized some of the suggestions for use in my classroom. While the film does not follow the book verbatim (and very few movies do), it was still visually stunning. The acting was top notch. Please consider showing more films of this type.
Jason S.
Sandusky, OH
Masterpiece Theatre's Hound of the Baskervilles presented the best Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson ever! I believe I have seen almost every actor in recent times who has played Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. In my opinion, Richard Roxburgh (the Duke in the Oscar-winning Moulin Rouge) is the best, hands-down, as the mercurial Holmes, with Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter) as the contemplative Dr. Watson.
Richard Roxburgh most closely portrays Doyle's Holmes: a young, serious but mysterious Holmes who tries unsuccessfully to control his dark side by immersing himself in his obscure knowledge of chemistry, which he uses to solve some of the otherwise baffling mysteries. He is Doyle's "loner" whose only friend is Dr. Watson. It is not clear why Holmes chooses Watson as a friend. Possibly it is because Watson has his own demons to deal with: the war, Afghanistan and all that. Or, perhaps Watson feels he is uniquely suited to Holmes's needs and wants to help him. I was extremely happy to see Watson not portrayed as a "buffoon" like he has been many times before. I do not believe that Doyle's Holmes would have put up with that. Holmes never suffered fools, much less would he live with one.
Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart are, in my opinion, absolutely brilliant and I sincerely hope we see more of them in the same roles
Colette Terracino

Your recent production of The Hound of the Baskervilles was spectacular! As a longtime reader of Sherlock Holmes stories, I felt that the cast was superb, especially Holmes and Watson. Usually production companies start with The Hound of the Baskervilles to test out a cast before filming the other stories. I do hope you will continue to film the Holmes stories with the same actors in the roles of Holmes and Watson. It would be a shame not to; like filming Poirot without Suchet as the lead. It would be a great loss not to have such performances caught on film.
Margaret Shields
Lake Forest, IL
Thanks, Masterpiece Theatre, for showing this wonderful new version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. I have been a Holmes fan, and a fan of this story in particular, for a long time. It was an exciting new adaptation and one I know will be a classic.

Gardner invites Hickenlooper to tour gun parts maker
- published_in
- Today's News
In a letter dated Wednesday to the governor, Gardner said, "Striving to keep our children and our communities safe is an admirable goal and one that I believe we share. … Magpul is threatening to leave our state, taking hundreds of jobs with it, as the direct result of gun control legislation that is not even going to make us any safer."
Magpul Industries makes weapons components and high-capacity ammunition magazines and has threatened to leave if the state bans ownership of magazines that hold 15 rounds or more.
Earlier this week, the Colorado House passed four gun-control measures, one of which limits magazines to 15 rounds.
The measure must make it through the Senate, where Democrats hold a 20-15 advantage and need 18 votes to pass a bill.
Magpul directly employs 150 people, according to a Denver Post report.
Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Congressman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina have already reached out to Magpul, asking the company to relocate to their states, which they say are more friendly to the Second Amendment, according to a release from Gardner's office.

QT/QTc assessment of ceftobiprole in a single-dose study
Abstract number: 1733_281
Balis D., Strauss R., Murthy B., Tiian H., Noel G.
Objectives: Delayed cardiac repolarisation is a potential side effect of some non-antiarrhythmic drugs. Because delayed cardiac repolarisation has been associated with the increased risk of serious and potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, rigorous characterisation of a drug's effect on the QT/QTc interval is warranted. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ceftobiprole on QT/QTc interval.
Methods: This was a randomised, double-blind, placebo- and positive-controlled, double-dummy, 4-way crossover, single-centre study of ceftobiprole medocaril at therapeutic (500 mg) and supratherapeutic (1000 mg) doses intravenously infused over 2 h in healthy adult volunteers. Sixty subjects received either a single dose of ceftobiprole medocaril (500 mg or 1000 mg) or matching placebo intravenous (i.v.) infusion on Day 1. In addition, the subjects received either a single dose of moxifloxacin 400 mg as a positive control or a matching placebo as oral administration prior to i.v. infusion on Day 1. Serial 12-lead ECGs were measured on Day 1 (baseline) and Day 1 (post-dose). Fridericia correction was used as the primary correction method for statistical evaluation of serial ECG data.
Results: The upper limits of the 90% confidence intervals for difference in mean change in QTcF (QTc interval using Fridericia correction formula) between ceftobiprole 1000 mg and placebo (change in QTcF) were below 10 ms at all time points. The same result was demonstrated for change in QTcF between ceftobiprole 500 mg and placebo. Therefore, this analysis establishes the noninferiority of ceftobiprole to placebo with respect to QT/QTc interval duration. The lower limit of 90% confidence intervals for the difference in mean change in QTcF between moxifloxacin and placebo was above zero for all time points between 1.25 and 24 h, with a mean difference of 5.5 ms to 13.1 ms. Results from this analysis establish assay sensitivity.
Conclusion: In this QT/QTc study conducted in healthy adult subjects, the effect of single i.v. administrations of ceftobiprole at therapeutic (500 mg) and supratherapeutic (1000 mg) doses on QT/QTc prolongation was comparable to placebo.

Megan Good Comes Full-Circle With Screamers 'Saw V,' 'Unborn'
Some people look down their noses at horror sequels, insisting that a "Friday the 13th Part VIII" or a "Nightmare on Elm Street VI" has no artistic merit. But true horror fans find significance as the Roman numerals get higher and higher, and at least one Hollywood starlet attributes her entire career to such sequels.
"When I was a little girl, what really made me want to be an actress was seeing 'Halloween' parts IV and V, and the little girl that was in that," revealed Meagan Good over the weekend at the MTV Movie Awards, praising the work of actress Danielle Harris in those films. "I was like, 'I want to do that in a movie!' I'd scream really loud, in the middle of the night [to practice]."
Now, after launching a successful career that has put her in such films as "D.E.B.S.," "Brick" and "You Got Served," Good is ready to get Roman herself in "Saw V," as well as a high-profile original film from the filmmaker behind "Transformers."
"I have 'The Unborn' with Michael Bay's company, it's a scary movie," she said of her current slate. "And I just did 'Saw V.' "
Discussing the grisly franchise that has sold more movie tickets than any other, Good said: "I hadn't seen the first one. I ended up seeing it with a friend of the family, then both II and III, like back-to-back. And then I was like, 'Wait, I really, really like this.' I went and saw part IV in the theaters, and then when V came around I knew it would be a lot of fun."
"I'm not allowed to say [anything about the plot], because they threatened to cut off my head," she said. "But it should be very fun and witty to watch." "Saw V" is due in theaters this Halloween.
The actress so sexy that she once played a character named Beautifull revealed a bit more, however, when it came to the film from Bay's production company.
"Basically, there's a little boy who gets murdered in the Holocaust, whose spirit is trying to possess certain people in his family," she said of "Unborn." "It comes down the family chain in twins, because he was a twin. I can't say too much more, because I don't want to ruin the plot, but it's really scary. Gary Oldman is also in it, Idris Elba, Cam Gigandet and Odette Yustman."
So keep your eyes peeled for a lot of real Good screaming in the months to come, and who knows? Maybe she'll launch a few acting careers of her own. But don't think the actress plotted out her career coming so full-circle. "No," she grinned. "It just worked out that way."
Are you as excited for this year's "Saw" film as you were in the past? Or has the franchise finally run its course?

About Academic Insights
Academic Insights is an independent, small business that provides timely, accurate and professional Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) for students of all ages. An IEE is a private evaluation performed by experienced, qualified personnel outside the school system. It provides a detailed view of a student's unique learning style and educational needs. If you are the parent of a child with learning differences, an IEE will give you a keen understanding of your child's cognitive abilities and academic strengths and weakness. A clear interpretation of the results leads to educational recommendations including remediation and accommodations.
Note: The school personnel responsible for developing your child's educational program must review and consider the information presented in the IEE, but are not required to act on it. Most often, however, teachers welcome additional information on a student's learning needs and value the detailed recommendations.

We are incredibly thankful for the privilege of meeting Susan Schaldach two years ago. At the time, our second grade twin boys were struggling in school. We knew both kids were incredibly intelligent, but couldn't figure out why they were struggling with reading and spelling. We had read to them nearly every night of their young lives, and introduced them to many life experiences that were centered around educational opportunities. We couldn't figure out what were we doing wrong!
Both kids had a delightful testing experience with Susan. Susan has a way of putting kids at ease while testing to thoroughly find their strengths and weaknesses. Upon review of the test results, we were comforted to know that both our kids were gifted in many areas, but needed thorough intervention with their reading and spelling. Susan made an educational recommendation that was successful for both boys (one kiddo improved three years of reading in his first year of school after testing!).
Susan has an unbiased opinion in regards to her proposed educational solutions (oh, it's so hard to find an unbiased view!). It feels good to be at peace with our educational choices. We have Susan Schaldach to thank for putting us on the right track for educational success.
~Parents of third grade boys
We had the pleasure of sending our daughter to work with Susan and it was one of the best and most important parental decisions we have made. As the primary people in charge of her education, Susan provided us insight we would not otherwise have figured out. We are saving money for college, but spending money now with Academic Insights so her entire lifelong educational experience is positive.
~Parent of a second grader
Thank you so much. I honestly cannot express how much we appreciate this opportunity for you to assess our son's abilities and to FINALLY have a clear picture of what is going on. It is going to make our work with him moving forward so much clearer and fruitful for everyone involved, most especially [my son]! I can't speak highly enough of your assessment process and final report. You can use me for a testimonial if you ever need it!
~Parent of a third grader
you so much for helping [my son] see his opportunity to bloom. Your professionalism, supportive and compassionate work on [my son's] behalf have given us a sense of relief and a passion for the future. To have given him a picture of his strengths and his opportunities truly is empowering.
~Parent of a college student
Susan is adept at working with both parents and especially the child to determine the best possible outcomes for educational success. She is sensitive to the possibilities of what could be going on in a kids' brain and body and helps parents navigate successful results for a more positive educational experience. Academic Insights is the kind of organization you'd expect to have in a big city and we have it right here in Durango. Susan has helped reset our daughter's path in a way we would not otherwise have known.
~Parent of a second grader
Working with Susan was a treat for my son! The process started with an in-depth evaluation that not only provided academic strengths and weaknesses, but results about how he processes and perceives information. She was able to take these results and apply them in a practical and fun way to encourage academic improvement. She shed light into the corners of his creative mind. My 11 year-old son looked forward to seeing her each session and he developed a pride in his work that was lacking previously. He continues to apply her "methods" when reading and writing at school, which makes writing assignments go from overwhelming to manageable. Most importantly, he still considers Susan a friend and ally!

In just a few short days, the 2012 SEMA Show will kick off in Las Vegas, beginning one of the busiest weeks of the year for the North American branch of the Speedhunters crew. As we soak up these last few moments of calm before the madness in Vegas begins, we thought we'd start a little pre-SEMA discussion.
What are YOU looking forward to seeing this year? Which car models will emerge as the stars of the show in 2012? More generally speaking, what do you enjoy most about the SEMA Show? Is it the OEM displays? The classics? Tuner cars? New products? Is it something else?
Vote and discuss below.
[polldaddy poll="6640649"]
Looking forward to a lot of new gen BMW's and GT86/FRS's.
Factory Five Racing is showing their newest lineup that includes the SpeedHunters audience oriented Project 818 in R and S trims, I cant wait to read more and get the chance to drive one asap as well as building my own! Sick world car idea and amazing performance for the price. Next to the FR-S this has to be the next big thing in "our scene" and I am stoked!
The white Merc? Looks like it was created by a 13yo NFS gamer, I just puked in my mouth a bit. Justin Kresty Cuyahoga County
Please PLEASE stop by the Factory Five Racing display and check out the Project 818. It's a 2 seat, mid engine, rear drive, 1,800 lbs, sports/race car kit with WRX drivetrain. Considering you can build it for less than 15,000 USD it's going to be a game changer for grassroots motorsports!
The Giovanna wheels section with the half naked strippers posing as models.
Chin up guys. Sema a few years back was frequently a grotesque display of what a shop could do summed up in one car, usually painted some horrific shade of green or orange. However, despite the lambo cover car for this article, I'd say a lot of shops are actually building tasteful cars with a sense of direction and attention to detail and ingenuity.
Seeing the crazy builds is amazing but I really get excited about the new products that push the industry forward!
A decade ago SEMA was THE show. Now it attracts the wrong crowd/ "tuners" that aren't even into cars....sad.
the models, duh.
Pardon my French, but WTF are tuner cars?
I am going as an engineering student. I want to take it all in for my project car, but to me tuner cars also contains the pro-touring branch of muscle cars because most pro-touring cars are no longer the old classic muscle. I want to take in the exotics as well though because I have only seen 2 or 3 lamborghinis, audi R8s, and a gtr up in North Dakota. We don't see much in this agricultural part of the world. Going to be taking a lot of photos hopefully.
i wish i was going :( maybe next year
No all of the above option lol
I love seeing the tuners. Especially everyday cars pushed to the max.
I don't know if I'm the only nerd who plays GT5, but I'm also excited to see which cars Polyphony Digital will pick to be in GT6...haha.
Evasive motorsports frs will be THE car of SEMA this year.
New Products
Oem yeh!
@SVT_Bryan just checked out the website amazing cars
@JDMized expand on tuners than arent into cars?
You need to move to California if you wanna see more exotics and more tuned imports.
@kyle olason I wish people would stop using the term "tuner" when describing cars. Tuners are the people who tune cars, not the cars itself.
@Dekro i hope it makes all the right noises...if you get what i mean!!! check out gtplanet.net if your into your GT series btw!
@Dekro Now, by "tuners" do you mean the people behind modified cars at SEMA?
@Dekro I hope they get the front wheel drive tuning right on gt6
True that!
@EthanGuzzi @JDMized The term itself is "ricey", how's that?
@King7two Imports to whom? I hate when SH uses "ricer" terminology.
@apex_DNA you are OCD about this man, let it go. Who cares? People like cars, shops that modify cars, and whatever else. Go teach English if you are so worried about a definition.
@JDMized i hope it wins the Grand Tursimo award.
@apex_DNA think he was having a cheek dig there
@h22wut And why is that, ignoramus?
@Robo_No1 @apex_DNA I really don't care, as long as everyone understands what you are trying to talk about. With an international audience I don't think SH is ever going to settle in on a single vocabulary. tuners is fine by me, modified cars, cars with not original parts, just plain old "cars", autos, anything.
@robzor I'm just sick of people using the term improperly. It's like saying hot rodder cars, drifter cars, or racer cars...it's dumb.
@MattClarke The car is VERY original, designed with lots of inspiration from GT cars in Japan as well as DTM cars.
Nakajima san knows what he's doing, and I bet you that with the right amount of power this FR-S is capable of some good timing!

Cardinal Giovanni Battista De Luca: Nepotism in the Seventeenth-century Catholic Church and De Luca's Efforts to Prohibit the Practice
Date: August 2012
Creator: Cowan, H. Lee
Description: This dissertation examines the role of Cardinal Giovanni Battista de Luca in the reform of nepotism in the seventeenth-century Catholic Church. Popes gave very large amounts of money to their relatives and the burden of nepotism on the Catholic Church was very onerous. The Catholic Church was crippled by nepotism and unable to carry out its traditional functions. Although Cardinal de Luca and Pope Innocent XI worked tirelessly to end nepotism, they were thwarted in their attempts by apprehension among the Cardinals concerning conciliarism and concerning the use of reform measures from the Council of Trent; by Gallicanism and the attempts of the French King to exercise power over the French Church; and by the entrenchment of nepotism and its long acceptance within the Church. Cardinal de Luca and Innocent XI were not able to push through reforms during their lifetimes but Pope Innocent XII was able to complete this reform and pass a reform Bull. This dissertation has two complementary themes. First, a confluence of circumstances allowed for the unfettered growth of nepotism in the seventeenth-century Church to the point of threatening the well-being of the Catholic Church. Reform was not undertaken until the threat to Church finances was ...

I have a '96 Legacy L wagon. Lately, we've noticed that all the lights (headlights, dash lights) briefly dim and brighten. There it no pattern, just a brief dip in brightness, usually once every few seconds. I figured likely alternator or voltage regulator, less likely the diode. I took it to the shop and they said the voltage was fine, alternator and diode seemed fine, and it was going to require disconnecting things till they found the problem. I didn't like that idea much and needed the car back for the next snowstorm. All the lights dimming said to me it had to be an overall voltage drop and, sure enough, my VOM showed voltage dipped to about 12.9V from ~14.2 whenever the lights dimmed. With an OBD2 reader, I can see the voltage briefly spike downward. It never goes above about 14.5V, making me think the regulator is ok. Revving the engine makes no difference. However, I found that with enough electrical load (e.g., the headlights on AND the fan on full speed (but not half speed) or the rear defogger also on and the fan at half speed, the spikes disappear and the voltage sits steady around 13.5V. Grounding and connections between the alternator and battery are fine.
Anyone run into this? I was ready to buy an alternator, figuring maybe the brushes were going bad, but the discovery that enough load stopped the spikes made me wonder if it was the regulator, after all.
(And can someone tell me where the stupid regulator is located? Google isn't helping and it does not seem it is in the alternator like in many cars - in fact, it costs much more than a rebuilt alternator.)
Many thanks.

Twelve years ago, when I returned to Chicago as Archbishop, I was asked in an interview what I would like to have written on my tombstone. I answered, "Thanks."
At this time of year, we celebrate many anniversaries: of first communion, of confirmation, of graduation. Anniversaries are a time to congratulate someone; they are also a time to be grateful. The most important things in life are gifts we haven't earned: life itself, new life in Christ, the love of a mother and father, of friends and of spouses. Recognizing a gift calls for only one response: thanks.

A Honomu man convicted of manslaughter has been sentenced to 10 years probation and time served.
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports Daniel Schuster pleaded guilty in September to stabbing to death his housemate, 30-year-old Joshua Trickel, on July 12, 2012.
Schuster must complete 400 hours of community service and other probation conditions.
Schuster was originally charged with second-degree murder. He made the plea deal with the support of Trickel's mother.
Leslie Peters says she wants to give Schuster a chance to change his life. She says she doesn't believe Schuster tried to kill her son.
During a preliminary hearing, a woman who lived in the same building testified the men were trying to raise money owed to a drug dealer and that Schuster told her Trickel had stabbed him first.

Weekend Fishing Tales

My wife gave me a pass for both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday I hit up the Holston and that report can be found on the TN Tailwater Holston thread.
On Saturday I went to LR in Townsend to take advantage of a couple hours of freedom. When I arrived at my destination I was the only person around. About 45 minutes later a few guys were a couple hundred yards upstream of me and two guys got in about 50 yards downstream of me. Two of the four guys quickly fished their way downstream and the other two guys were slowly coming upstream. I could see what was going to happen. Three of them converged on the area I was fishing, and I found myself casting between two guys dunking powerbait being careful to not hit them with my heavily weighted nymph rig.
After about 10 minutes of this mess I was fed up and got out of the river, and made my way to LRO to chat with Daniel for a little while. They were slammed, I don't know that I have ever seen the parking lot that full. When I arrived I counted three open parking spaces, so it appears that the nice weather pulled everybody out from their winter hiding places. The only thing I could think of to remedy such a morning was to order myself a couple slaw dogs, chips, and an A&W and sit back and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful surroundings before heading back to Knoxville.
Oh well, it was a rare occasion, and I know that typically I can find solitude in the mountains and/or Townsend. However, the wet and cold winter combined with the beautiful weather this weekend was just too tempting for most to pass up. It was still better than being at work or stuck in the house watching it snow....

Here at TheTennisTimes we had an up and down 2012. At times we were able to publish a lot of articles with the help from our writers, but at other times we struggled. TheTennisTimes has been a part time hobby of mine for some time, as I have to deal with my day job. Im hoping in future I will find some more time to grow my hobby into something a little more serious.
It seems as though Tennis in general has been in decline over the past few years and this has show in basic search and traffic numbers (plus Tennis.com numbers)
In 2012 over 360,000 people visited the site.
- TheTennisTimes attendance for 2012 – 360,514
- Wimbledon attendance for 2012 – 484,805
- US Open attendance – 712,976
- French Open attendance – 429,105
- Australian Open attendance – 653,860
Im pretty confident this year we can break French Open and Wimbledon attendance numbers, but it will be a bit of a challenge to break the US Open and Australian Open numbers.
What would you like to see more of on TheTennisTimes in 2013? What can we improve?

The identity has to remain fixed. So, either you didn't mention that, or the automorphism does not exist.
Hi guys,
I am looking an automorphism (isomorphism onto itself) of S7 (symmetric group on 7 letters). The extra condition I have been given is that no element is allowed to remain fixed after applying said isomorphism (eg 1 should not be sent back to 1). To make this clearer, I am looking for a function, f, on 7 letters that:
1. Is a bijection
2. Satisfies f(xy)=f(x)f(y)
3. Leaves no element of S7 fixed
I have tried fiddling around with a lot of modular arithmetic and conjugacy classes etc, but it is hard to find such a function. Perhaps such a function does not exist?
Thanks in advance
i think you are confusing the concepts of set-automorphism (bijection from a set to itself) and group-automorphism (isomorphism from a group to itself).
an element of Aut(S7) maps permutations to permutations.
only elements of S7 map numbers to numbers (or letters to letters..whatever we decide the call the elements of our 7-element set).
however, it is true that every automorphism of S7 is inner, so Aut(S7) is isomorphic to S7
(that is every element of Aut(S7) is a map: τ→στσ-1, for some σ in S7.
if we call this map fσ, then σ→fσ is a group isomorphism).
and there DO exist elements of S7 that do not leave any letter fixed, for example: 7-cycles.
however, conjugation by a 7-cycle will still be the identity map on all powers of that 7-cycle:
σ(σk)σ-1 = σ1+k-1 = σk.
perhaps this will convince you that every automorphism of S7 fixes some element of S7 (which is the same as saying every σ in S7 is conjugate to itself, which should not be surprising).

Download current version (0.7)
Angel is a simple yet useful tool to monitor the services on your network. Technically speaking, it's a Perl program that runs every 'n' minutes (usually fired from your cron) and calls different perl subprograms (referred as "plugins" from now on) to do the actual testing. It will then generate an HTML table containing the status of your network.
Sample Output
Some people like to "see what they're going into" :) before they download something. Click Here to look at a real life output from Angel (Note: LEDSign was not enabled at the time of this output).
Main features:
The inspiration for this program (and for the name) came from the Excellent "Big Brother" package. Big Brother is "watching you", just like your "Guardian Angel". :)
Program Basics
The core of the program is the angel perl script. It's meant to be run from your cron every "N" minutes. Once run, the program will read the conf/hosts.conf and conf/angel.conf files, test the specified conditions and generate the HTML output containing the status of your hosts, detailed error messages (returned from your plug-ins, etc).
Installation Procedures
1. Finding a place for the files
The first step (as always) is to find a suitable place for Angel. It's mostly a matter of personal taste, and Angel will make its best to find its "home" directory and proceed accordingly. I like putting custom things under the /usr/local directory. If you do not object to that, you could do:
mkdir /usr/local/angel
I'm also supposing your file is called angel.tar.gz.This will almost always not be true. I have the habit of appending the version number to the tar file.
2. Configuring your web server
Did I tell you that you need a Web Server to run Angel? Well, that's almost the whole truth. Angel generates HTML code. If you don't have a Web Server on the computer Angel is running, you won't be able to see the output from the outside world (from other computers, I mean). Of course, if your workstation runs Linux, you won't need an HTTP Server (Just fire your browser and point to the place where Angel writes its files).
However, it would be healthy to have a running server, since it allows you to watch your servers from anywhere. For now, I suppose you're running Apache.
What you have to do is configure your Apache server so you can "see" the files generated by Angel more easily:
From now on, you should be able to see the Angel output pointing to:
Configuring The Program
Before you run the program, it would be a good idea to take a quick look at the conf/angel.conf file. Some default variables can be changed to modify the behaviour of the program. The most important ones are:
Editing Your Configuration File
Everything Angel does is based on the contents of the conf/hosts.conf file. Following the good Unix tradition, this is a pure ASCII file and should be edited using your preferred editor. Every host and service you want to monitor must be listed in this file.
For each key pair host/service, there must be one line in the configuration file. If you want to check, say SMTP and HTTP from the same host, you must have two different lines in the configuration file.
The basic format of this file is:
It's a good idea to check the hosts.conf.example file that comes with this package to make sure you understand the syntax. Also, check the Plugin specific documentation below to customize Angel to your needs.
Plugin Specific Documentation
This section discusses the basic options for each plugin. This is where you should expect to find the "plugin_options" for each plugin. Please, click on the desired plugin to obtain more information.
Currently, the following plugins are available:
If you decide to write your own perl plugin:
Things to do
As you know, a software project, no matter how small, generates a lot of work. In fact, only this documentation took almost the same time as the code. Count the debugging sessions (and the fact that I'm doing this in my spare time) and you'll understand why bugs are very likely to exist.
If you feel like helping, know that I would love to receive emails with comments, corrections and ideas for Angel. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here's a (partial) list of things I know should be changed or improved:
News and Updated Info
Version 0.7 (May/17/1998)
Version 0.6a (Apr/04/1998)
Version 0.6 (Mar/18/1998)

My special thanks and credits to:
Norbert Gruener (firstname.lastname@example.com) - for his ideas, improvements and bug corrections. Thanks to Norbert, you're going to see a whole different version of Angel soon.
Philippe Charnier (firstname.lastname@example.com) for many patches to the Check_disk plugin.

Dallas chosen as resuscitation study site
UT Southwestern will oversee a Dallas-based center aimed at coordinating local studies of resuscitation outcomes as part of a project to conduct similar studies simultaneously in 10 U.S. and Canadian cities over the next five years.
The medical center has received a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to set up a resuscitation consortium center under the direction of Dr. Ahamed Idris, a professor of surgery with nationally recognized expertise in CPR research and training.
"The purpose of this initial NIH grant is to develop and maintain a core infrastructure for the Dallas Resuscitation Research Center," said Dr. Idris. "The vision of the resuscitation outcomes consortium (ROC) project is to be able to complete, over the next five years, two concurrent clinical trials per year - one involving sudden cardiac arrest and one involving severe injury - for a total of 10 major studies."
Dr. Idris said the NIH chose Dallas as one of its center sites because of UT Southwestern's highly regarded academic reputation, the area's unique emergency medical service system, its strong inter-hospital collaborations and its trauma services. UT Southwestern's Emergency Medicine program directs medical care for nearly a quarter-million 911 incidents in Dallas and 12 surrounding cities annually.
The NIH will separately fund each of the resuscitation clinical trials besides supporting the center. All 10 cities in the ROC will perform the same studies simultaneously to ensure sufficient statistical power and rapid completion.
"We predict that the ROC will be quite successful and likely implement additional studies well beyond the original five years," Dr. Idris said. "I anticipate that private corporations and other federal agencies such as the Department of Defense will also use the resources of the ROC to study other important interventions."
Dr. Idris, the principal investigator, has been an international pioneer in resuscitation research and CPR education for more than 20 years. In addition, Dallas has a strong investigative team already working to coordinate area emergency care. It includes UT Southwestern faculty members Dr. Joseph Mineai, associate professor of surgery and Parkland Memorial Hospital's chief of surgery; Dr. Paul Pepe, chairman of emergency medicine and EMS operations medical director, and Dr. Ray Fowler, assistant professor of surgery; as well as Dr. Mike Ramsay, head of anesthesiology at Baylor University Medical Center, and Dr. Robert Simonson, medical director of the Methodist Medical Center Emergency Department.
A total of 101 cities in the United States and Canada applied for a grant to become a federally designated resuscitation center. Besides Dallas, the NIH chose Seattle, Portland, Ore., Birmingham, Ala., Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, San Diego, Iowa City, Iowa, Toronto and Ottawa as center sites.

GIBSONTON, Fla. — Wayne Johnson had his Charlie Fisher powered- XXX chassis dialed in to perfection and his driving skills were never sharper than Saturday night when he started on pole and left his competition chasing him for 40 laps.
The occasion was the 13th annual Ronald Laney Memorial at East Bay Raceway Park where Johnson put an exclamation point to the 38th Winternationals standing in victory lane with his $10,000 check and wearing the crown for being "King of the 360's" for the second time in four years.
His repeat win in the race was an emotional time for Johnson, because he counted Ronald as a good friend for many years and misses him a lot.
"Even though the track was different tonight from last night when I won, we made very few changes to the car and the only trouble I had was on the last restart when my tire was going down and I had to keep the heat in it to build up the pressure," Johnson said. "My crew Daryl Turfurd and Conner Nelson had the car really nice and Scott Billish is back on board as a sponsor after being away for four years. Brad Benic builds Momentum Shocks while Russell Swartz proved the 'Outlaw Wings' that we run are not junk."
With Johnson and Bryan Sebetto in the front row and Rico Abreu inside Parker Price-Miller in the next row and a pair of Danny's Wood and Lasoski making up row three, the red flag halted everything on lap two when Lou Kennedy got upside down on the back stretch, but was able to walk away from his car.
Abreu was in hot pursuit trying inside and outside moves to get by Johnson when they came upon lapped traffic on lap eight, but when the leader chose the high groove to maneuver through, so did Abreu.
By the halfway mark, the front two-some had put three lapped cars between themselves and third place runner Price-Miller. Seven laps later that margin increased to four lapped cars when the yellow came out for a blown engine on Danny Martin's machine in turn four.
Abreu was a serious threat the entire race, but especially on the last restart on lap 33 when Johnson noticed his loss of tire pressure.
"I tried to drag race him into turn one and I had my wing back pretty far," Abreu said.
His Shaver-powered machine pulled inside Johnson, but the leader was relentless in his pursue of this win and mustered ahead by the time the two were halfway between turns one and two.
Johnson beat Abreu to the checkered flag by .624 seconds.
Eleventh-starting Terry McCarl came on late to finish third and admitted in his interview that this was the best track in Florida because it had a top, a middle and a bottom groove.
Jason Sides finished fourth followed by David Gravel, Christopher Bell, Jac Haudenschild, Greg Hodnett, Danny Smith and Danny Lasoski.
The finish:
Wayne Johnson, Rico Abreu, Terry McCarl, Jason Sides, David Gravel, Christopher Bell, Jac Haudenschild, Greg Hodnett, Danny Smith, Danny Lasoski, Bryan Sebetoo, Danny Wood, Parker Price-Miller, Etienne Girard, Greg Wilson, Thomas Kennedy, Russ Hall, Danny Martin Jr., Chad Kemenah, Lou Kennedy.

You Can Quote Her1 of 9
Leandra Medine is funny, a little bit wacky and 100 percent honest. In her new book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls, the blogger tells all (and by all, we mean all) about gaining weight, losing her virginity and breaking into fashion. The Devil Wears Prada it is not—it's better! Check out our favorite zingers—poignant with an occasional hint of crass—from the book.
On Shoes2 of 9
"While some people use books and others movies or television or music to escape real life, or to reward themselves. For as long as I could remember, I had used shoes."
On Her Style Inspiration3 of 9
"The fundamental difference between [my friend] Rachel and me was that she could wholeheartedly catalog a woman like Bethenny Frankel as style inspiration while I found her off-putting. I was looking more toward a woman like Chloe Sevigny, or, say, a really thin gay man for my style cues."
On Lingerie4 of 9
"Frankly, in terms of lingerie, I felt sexiest in my uniform: high waist cotton panties... and a sports bra, if any bra at all. Lingerie seems not to be the vehicle that produces feminine self-confidence and sexiness, but rather the vehicle to get a rise out of our male counterparts."
On Finding Love5 of 9
"This relationship was simply lifetime camaraderie with a man who liked my harem pants before I liked my harem pants, who had loved me before I loved me."
Mother-Daughter Moment6 of 9
"Sure, it's a mother's dream to see her daughter marry a good man, but what happens when she's your only daughter and you're best friends? I am talking some serious BFF action: we once lived in the same body—and she is the only human who never judged me for eating my boogers until I was 12 (fine, 16)."
Marriage Material7 of 9
"What people will not tell you is that once you get past the big mass of actually getting married, what you're left with is the exact same relationship you were in before."
Biker Babe8 of 9
"If people remember nothing else about me when all is said and done, they should remember my other life mantra: when in doubt, add a motorcycle jacket. Heck, even when not in doubt, just add a motorcycle jacket."
In Control9 of 9
"It is enlightening, albeit intimidating, to think how much control we have over our own lives. But understanding it and treasuring it—treating it like the powerful entity that it is—is the key to happiness."

MTPFS = THE (LINUX) Answer To (Better) Playlists? Play Along And Help Find Out!! :)
Well while I was running around on this fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy Heron and seeing that the D2 is recognized in all it's glory I figured I would Google MTP and Linux and lo n behold my first hint
Going from there to anythingbutiPod brings you to the goodie site that holds promise
Being on Ubuntu I just used Synaptic Package Manager to download it and also made sure these other packages was installed (not 100% sure if the sudo apt-get install mtpfs command would do all of this for you)
libc6 (>= 2.7-1)
libfuse2 (>=2.6)
libglib2.0-0 (>=2.15.3)
libid3tag0 (>-0.15.1b)
libmad0 (>=0.15.1b)
Running in Ubuntu (I'm not sure if this'll work in other Distros but it's worth a look plus i '--(THINK)--' Debian was mentioned or something) I ran these commands:
"sudo /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/16_GIGZ -o nonempty"
"sudo /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/16_GIGGERZ"
specify an -o nonempty param since you're trying to MTP mount a non empty spot... also 16_GIGZ is the windows label of my 16gig card drive in D2... for the D2 memory itself it would be
"sudo /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/D2 -o nonempty"
"sudo /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/D2"
As for the result... nothing perfect of the sort. Based on the reading of a couple of articles I'm supposed to get a virtual 'playlist' folder in the player's root directory which displays the playlists as .m3u files... and while I'm getting the playlist directory, it's just either in the internal OR external readings with no playlist in sight (and I do have one working playlist in D2 located on external memory which I ensured still works & plays on the D2 itself)
Also I can't get both the internal OR external memory to show up using the mtpfs mount commands, just either the D2 memory OR my external memory thus far, like just now I was able to have the external 16gig memory mountable but when trying to run
sudo /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/D2
I get a 'permission denied' error or 'fuse: bad mount point `/media/D2': Transport endpoint is not connected' error.
Also for reference is something like this page: http://de.pastebin.ca/933182 which gives abunch of other useful commands for this.
So while I'm guessing this works for other mtp based players I'm still not sure how to get this to work
So if you have a Linux system layin around feel free to join in on the fun!! (Especially since I'm somewhat of a Linux n00b and an experienced user may be much more capable of geting this to work )
(Note: playing with at least the mtpfs command made my drives in /media disappear for abit, once even having me do a panic reboot until I realized that my stuff won't be in danger of being deleted, just 'disappearing' for abit & rebooting to ensure drives are recognized/mounted again in /media/ ...especially if you do the mtpfs commands on the /media/ directory itself )

A few notes as the World Series wraps up…
- Out in Arizona, Robbie Grossman is still destroying the ball and Gerrit Cole had a much better second outing. Don't forget to check their progress on the AFL Tracker page, which is updated daily.
- There were a few mini-rumors over the past couple days loosely connecting the Pirates to Edwin Jackson and Francisco Cervelli. I wouldn't put much stock into either one…at least not yet.
- Prospect Jordy Mercer played for Team USA in the World Cup and Pan Am games over the past few weeks. Pirates Prospects has game-by-game breakdown.
- The Bucs poached strength coach Ben Potenziano from the Giants to become an assistant athletic trainer. It looks like he made a good impression out in San Francisco.
- If you're bored/upset/depressed while watching the World Series, or just anytime in general…click this and you will be immediately cured. You're welcome.

Abraham Lincoln may be big box office in movie theaters this year, but a new exhibit at the Civil War Museum in Kenosha shows that Abe has owned TV and movies for more than a century.

Skylight makes the most of bland 'Pump Boys'
In the fictionalized North Carolina being served up in "Pump Boys and Dinettes," the country music pastiche that's now open for business at Skylight Music Theatre, none of the six characters actually works much.
To be sure, designer Brandon Ribordy has stuffed this really fun, vintage 1950s set - half gas station and half diner - with props suggesting that the four pump boys might actually service cars and the two fun-loving waitresses next door might actually take and fill orders. »Read Full Article(2)

Celeb Causes - Bono The Activist
It's no surprise that lead singer of the Irish band U2, Bono, has been nominated for the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize. He is known as a social animal as well as an activist. He has rallied numerous actors, artists and activists to his causes - including his goal to end Third World Debt as spokesman for the Jubilee 2000 Debt Relief Campaign.
What He's DoneIt seems wherever you look, TV, radio or newspaper, someone's talking about yet another campaign Bono's working on. As an active supporter of Greenpeace, Bono has been seen on the sandy beach of Seascale, Cumbria, UK, staging an anti-nuclear protest. In '95 Bono was joined by Pavarotti and released the Passengers Soundtrack, for the benefit of the War Child charity and the Cradle Foundation. Of particular interest is the song Miss Sarejevo which is about a beauty contest during the war in Bosnia. Contestants in the video, which was smuggled out of the country, held up signs pleading for help. After things calmed down, U2 returned and gave an free concert in Sarejevo.
The band also gave a surprise free concert in Ireland. In support of AIDS, U2 sang on the album Red Hot & Blue. The band has also done several other concerts in support of a variety of campaigns including Live AID, Net Aid, Self Aid, War Child and The Big One, a peace concert. Bono also had a big part in organizing the tribute song What's Going On, which was originally done to benefit AIDS, but was modified so that some of the proceeds would also benefit the Sept. 11th Fund. Some of us only joke about doing something to improve the world, while others, like Bono, obviously do something.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Indy Ball Weekly Perspective
The Sioux City Explorers have signed Canadian and former Minnesota Twin, Rene Tosoni, according to the Sioux City Journal.
Tosoni, a native of Toronto, Ontario was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 36th round of the 2005 MLB June Amateur Draft out of Chipola College. He is entering his seventh professional season, his first in independent baseball.
In 2011, Tosoni appeared in 60 Major League games. In limited action, he hit five homers and collected 22 RBI.
The 27-year-old outfielder has spent the majority of his career in the Twins organization until being released in 2012 to make additional roster space for Matt Carson. He spent 2013 with the Huntsville Stars, the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. With the Stars, Tosoni batted .238 in 131 games. He went deep 11 times and drove in 46.
The glory years of Tosoni's career were spent with the Twins. Statistically, his best minor league season came in 2009. As a member in the New Britain Rock Cats, the Twins Double-A squad, he hit a career high 15 home runs to go along with 70 RBI (also a career high).
Signing with the Explorers was a direct relation to the Brewers granting Tosoni free agency last November. Explorers' field manager, Steve Montgomery, knows that the addition of Tosoni will add leadership on the field and in the clubhouse.
There is still plenty of time left for Tosoni, who batted .341 with Chipola, to make an impact and sign a deal with a Major League club. He has the tools, the experience and has proven that he can contribute at any professional level, including internationally, where he batted .400 for Canada during the 2012 World Baseball Classic qualifiers.
The Explorers take the field in a few short weeks, and it will be only a matter of time before Tosoni gets back on the big stage.

Goodyear Racing is ready to begin manufacturing the latest additions to its line of Goodyear Eagle SS DOT radial drag racing tires. Goodyear recently completed tests at two facilities with 16 cars and drivers, and the tests were very successful. The company, recognized as the industry leader in drag racing tire development, tested size and construction combinations aimed at the DOT drag racing market.
"The tests were extremely successful," said Carolyn Ashbee, sales account manager for drag racing. "We know now that we have a very competitive product. Our 60-foot times were superior to the competition."
The tire to be released first, Goodyear's D4305, is sized at 275/60R15. It is 28 inches tall and 9.5 inches across the tread and is recommended for wheels 8 inches wide.
Ashbee said eight additional sizes for 15-, 16-, and 17-inch rims can be viewed on www.racegoodyear.com and will be announced as they become available for sale.
The tests were conducted at South Georgia Motorsports Park and Arizona's Firebird Int'l Raceway. On both occasions, the track temperatures reached 140 degrees.
The drivers involved in the tests came from across the radial racing world, from organizations such as the Outlaw Radial Street Car Association, the Outlaw Radial Tire Championship, the National Mustang Racing Association, and the Pacific Street Car Association. Drivers made quarter-mile and eighth-mile passes.
"This is a terrific market, one that has been growing and has room for more growth," Ashbee said. "The tires will be built at our Innovation Center in Akron, Ohio, and we expect to have them ready for sale by the fall."

I would look for fruit. A lot of places have bananas and apples to choose from. Look in the cold section, you may be able to find a string cheese?
If those are a no go, I would get some pretzels. Or popcorn? IDK what else.
I always try to find a grocery store with a deli.
Almonds, trail mix things like that :)
Most quick stops carry the protein bars and nuts. Sounds like you have the right idea about what to eat so just scrounge around. Been there, done that too. Sometimes you have to be creative but don't be so trapped in "dieting" mode. It's always about lifestyle change but don't freak out over getting a few too many calories on one day. Sometimes relaxing your standards a bit for a day here or there can help rev up your metabolism again. Hope you have (or have had) a good trip. God Bless you!
Almonds, Fresh Fruit and my beloved Shakeology...lol.... need all 3 items with me everyday :) and I am content...

I am very busy most of the time; however, blogging has provided me with a nice mental outlet. If you have any suggestions for a blog post you want do dealing with Afghanistan please comment.
Happy New Year!

It would be nice if you talked to people (make a large poll of man and women) and get a feeling for how they feel about Americans (westerners) being there. Do they feel we are helping? Do they want Americans to leave? What would they like Americans to do? How do they think Americans (and western countries in general) can really help them? How do we really deal with the insurgency, in their opinion, in order to obtain peace? Help provide more jobs and schooling, for example, so people can feed their families, instead of resorting to fighting? What does Afg. really need?
Stay safe.
