SELLERS, E.; FURTNEY, J.; ONEDERRA, I. e CHITOMBO, G.. Improved understanding of explosive-rock interactions using the hybrid stress blasting model. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2012, vol.112, n.8, pp.721-728. ISSN 2411-9717.
Since 2001, the Hybrid Stress Blast Model (HSBM) project members have developed a software suite to model the complete blasting process from non-ideal detonation to muck pile formation. To preserve the physics and improve solution time, the breakage engine uses a combination of analytical models and 2D axisymmetric finite differences to model near-field crushing, coupled to 3D discrete lattice fracturing and distinct element numerical methods to model throw and muck pile development. The model has been validated by comparison with laboratory and field tests in kimberlite. Multiple blasthole simulations are used to demonstrate how changes to blasting parameters can influence downstream efficiencies. Case studies of wall control blasting show that the presplit design must balance the two opposing effects of increased damage with increased charge and decreasing attenuation of the seismic waves with decreasing charge. Modelling of decoupled explosives needs further development. Reducing the charge towards the back of the trim blast results in a much more significant decrease in back damage than altering the timing. The model demonstrates how separation along the weaker planes in a jointed rock can coarsen the fragmentation, leading to inefficient beneficiation, and extends the damage to a distance of at least twice the burden behind from the blasthole, severely compromising the wall stability.

Physical Description
The Architeuthidae are the largest known cephalopods, the largest known mollusks and probably the largest invertebrates ever known to exist in the oceans. Architeuthidae have been recorded as long as 60 feet in total length, most of the specimens that have been found are really in the 35-45 foot range. There are still many which range from about 20 to 30 feet in length. The total length includes the body, the head, the arms, and the two long feeding tentacles. These feeding tentacles are much longer than the rest of the body. The heaviest animals weigh about a ton, but most of the time they are a thousand pounds or less.
These giant squid also have the largest eyes out of any animal in the world. The eyes of the giant squid can be as big as a human's head. Most deep-sea animals have very large eyes so they can gather the small amounts of light that are available in the deep depths of the ocean. They might even be able to see bioluminescent light.
The Architeuthidae posses two tentacles that average about 10-12 meters in length. These tentacles have many suckers on the tips, called clubs. The tentacular clubs are narrow and have suckers, which are sub-spherical cups lined with sharp, finely serrated rings of chitin, in four longitudinal rows. These suckers cover only the inner surface of the arms and tentacles. These tentacular clubs are divided into distinct carpus, manus and dactylus. The manus has enlarged suckers along medial two rows. The suckers on the tentacles, and the arms, are not known to be any bigger than about five to five and a half centimeters. The carpal region has a dense cluster of suckers, in six to seven irregular, transverse rows.
The Architeuthidae also have fins that are proportionally small, ovoid, and without free anterior lobes. The fins at the rear of the mantle, are used to help the squid move by gentle, rhythmic pulses of water pushed out of the mantle cavity throughout the funnel.
They also have eight arms with suckers in two longitudinal rows. At the end of the arms they have a parrot-like beaks at the base. Another characteristic of the squid is that they have buccal connectives that attach to the dorsal borders of arms.
Giant squid contain the dark, sepia-colored ink that we associate with the smaller, more familiar squid.
They have the two, very large gills resting inside the mantle cavity. The squid are able to breath and move quickly by expanding the mantle cavity by contracting sets of muscles within the mantle. The water fills the expanded space, the muscles relax, and the elastic mantle then snaps back to a smaller size, jetting water out through the funnel. The jet of water closes the flaps on either side of the squid's head so water can exit only through the funnel.
The nervous system of the squids are very extensive and they even also have a complex brain. For this reason they are under extensive research. The circulatory system is closed which is a distinct characteristic of the squid.(Portner, et al 1994) (Forch 1998)

You Won't Believe What Your Kid Is Doing Online
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's no secret that kids don't always adopt a "full disclosure" mindset when revealing their habits to mom and dad, but that gulf grows wider on the topic of online usage behavior by teenagers, according to McAfee, the Internet data security firm.
The study, looking at teen Web users in Ireland, estimates that 20% have "accessed inappropriate content online" that bothered them. McAfee also says that while 24% of Irish parents think they know everything their kids are doing on the Internet, they're largely being misled (for lack of a better term).
According to the firm's Digital Divide study:
- 48% of kids have looked at sites their parents would disapprove of and 56% have viewed a Web video "they knew their parents would not approve of."
- More than half of teens have posted "risky or inappropriate" comments or photos on the Internet.
- About 70% of teens say they are "hiding their online activities" from their parents.
- 53% of teens admit to "wiping clean" their web browser history.
- 49% travel away from their home to view inappropriate Web content.
Worse, 11% of teenagers have met up with a stranger they met online, and 23% use the Web to search for pornography.
Ethical problems surface as well, with 33% of teens admitting downloading the answers to school tests and 45% to pirating music .
"We believe the findings from this study will come as quite a shock to some parents, and we hope it will encourage them to take immediate action to protect their children," said Paul Walsh, a vice president of engineering McAfee. "It is clear that a huge gap exists between what teens are doing online and what parents are aware of. Parents must take an active role to ensure their teens are practicing safe online behavior."
McAfee recommends that parents:
- Launch some regular one-on-one conversations with their children to make them aware of the choices they're making online and the risks and consequences of their actions
- Set up parental controls and monitor them closely to make sure they aren't compromised by their kids.
- Be direct about those installed monitors and controls implemented on their laptops, tablets, and smartphones, as many teens "would think twice about their online activities if they knew parents were watching," McAfee says.
Even as kids learn more and more about navigating the online world so their parents can't find them, adults can't let up on reining their kids in online.
"Having grown up in the online world, teens are often more online savvy than their parents, making it difficult for parents to provide the necessary guidance, and therefore, reinforcing teens' online vulnerability," Walsh says. "But parents cannot give up -- they must challenge themselves to become familiar with the complexities of the online universe and educate themselves about the various threats that await their teens online."

Home > National Parks of Canada > Glacier National Park > Natural Wonders & Cultural Treasures > Plants & Animals > Wolverine
Motion-sensitive cameras in British Columbia's Glacier National Park have captured amazing images of the elusive wolverine doing something rarely seen. "Few people ever see a wolverine in the wild and here we have recorded images of a wolverine doing something unique at one of the research stations," said Kelsey Furk, a biologist with the park.The cameras were set up for the winter months at research study sites in the park to capture images of the wolverine. The study sites also include baited trees with barbed wire to collect wolverine hair samples to help determine genetic patterns. The park is trying to detect the presence and behaviour of wolverine in relation to the Trans Canada Highway and railway lines."This is a rare glimpse of an animal that most have never seen and we wanted to share this with Canadians but it is important to note that wolverine are wild animals and should not be approached."
Learn more about wolverines
Parks Canada is looking for information from the public on wolverine and wolverine track sightings within and around Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks.
This data will be used to determine where wolverines are located in the park and where they might be crossing the highway corridor.
If you see a wolverine or its tracks, please note:

GA loses a friendDecember 7, 2012 by Craig Fuller
All of us at AOPA and the AOPA Foundation were saddened to learn of the death of J.Lloyd Huck, retired chairman of Merck & Co., Inc. and lifelong supporter of general aviation. He was a thoughtful and dedicated advocate for GA who was deeply concerned about growing the pilot population and addressing the challenges facing the flight training community. He loved flying and wanted to be sure future generations would have the same opportunity to enjoy that unique freedom.
Mr. Huck began his flying career in the U.S. Army Air Corps where he first flew the B-17 before becoming an instructor and pilot on B-29 bombers. Even after his service ended, Mr. Huck never lost his love of aviation. He continued to fly until shortly before his 90th birthday when he donated the proceeds from the sale of his last aircraft, an American Champion Champ, to the AOPA Foundation. He had previously donated another of his personal aircraft, which became the AOPA 2009 Let's Go Flying Sweepstakes airplane.
His commitment and generosity made a real difference for pilots. He will be missed.

/ Change in Average Annual Soil Erosion by Water on Cropland and CRP Land, 92 -97
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
This shaded polygon map shows the change in the average annual rate of soil erosion by water in tons per acre per year on cropland and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land between 1992 and 1997. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is used to determine annual erosion rates. Data are aggregated by 8-digit hydrologic unit areas. Areas where cropland and CRP land occupy less than 5% of the total area are hatched. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shaded gray. There was a net decrease of 1.4 tons per acre per year between 1992 and 1997.
Cautions for this Product:
Erosion by water includes sheet and rill erosion and excludes gully erosion. Since cropland and CRP land may occupy only a small percentage of the total area of some of the polygons, the map may leave a misleading impression as to the higher erosion rates in some areas. Data are not shown where cropland and CRP are less than 5% of the total area. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands is shown by 6-digit hydrologic unit.
Source: National Resources Inventory, 1997
Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: 8 Digit Hydrologic Unit Areas with Federal Land
Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP):
A Federal program established under the Food Security Act of 1985 to assist private landowners to convert highly erodible cropland to vegetative cover for 10 years. [NMCSP]
A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
The wearing away of the land surface by running water, waves, or moving ice and wind, or by such processes as mass wasting and corrosion (solution and other chemical processes). The term "geologic erosion" refers to natural erosion processes occurring over long (geologic) time spans. "Accelerated erosion" generically refers to erosion that exceeds what is presumed or estimated to be naturally occurring levels, and which is a direct result of human activities (e.g., cultivation and logging). [NSSH-96]
Federal land:
A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Gully erosion:
The erosion process whereby water concentrates in narrow channels and, over short periods, removes the soil from this narrow area to considerable depths, ranging from 1 to 2 feet to as much as 75 to 100 feet. [NRI-97]
Sheet and rill erosion:
Removal by runoff water of a fairly uniform, usually imperceptible, thin layer of soil often accompanied by formation of many small eroding channels. Rills are only a few inches deep and do not hinder farm machinery. Tillage erases them, but they tend to recur after heavy rain during the growing season, especially where cover is limited. [SSM]
Universal soil loss equation (USLE):
This equation estimates average annual soil loss from sheet and rill erosion. Location specific data for the field in which the NRI point falls or that portion of the field surrounding the point that would be considered in conservation planning are used in the NRI calculations. The equation is: A = RKLSCP, where A is the computed soil loss per unit area, R is a rainfall factor, K is a soil erodibility factor, L is a slope length factor, S is a slope- steepness factor, C is a cover and management factor, and P is a conservation practice factor. [NAM]
Water Erosion:
The process of detachment, transport and deposition of soil in which the primary agent is water. This may include sheet, rill and gully erosion; however, for the purposes of this analysis, unless otherwise stated, water erosion refers only to sheet and rill erosion and excludes gully erosion.

Research Summary
Chromosome abnormalities have been common causes for human embryonic failure, fetus anomalies, developmental delay, mental retardation, behavior disorders, cancer initiation and progression. My lab has provided clinical diagnosis and genetic screening for patients suspected with chromosomal abnormalities and genomic defects. Molecular methods such as BAC-clone fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping, microsatellite allelotyping, SNP genotyping, and sequencing analysis of gene mutations have been used to delineate recognized chromosomal abnormalities. We have validated high through-put genome-wide oligonucleotide microarray analysis for clinical diagnosis of submicroscopic deletions/duplications and for mapping rearrangement breakpoints. We are initiating functional analysis using biochemical and genetic approaches on model animals. The goals of this laboratory are to identify disease-causing genes or genetic markers of diagnostic and prognostic values, to dissect underlying molecular mechanisms, and to develop diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients with chromosomal and genomic aberrations.

quote vvynautYour opinion is the direct opposite of mine. The game was way too shallow. Sure it looks pretty, but graphics only take a game so far. It is very beatable in just a few days. The fights are way too short. I hate their supposed build up system (aka the shitty capsules). The fact that you can only use heroes (not including fusions) in dragonworld just ticks me off. They were going with a party/ story mode format, so why not just go the whole nine yards. And it's not two player. There are way too few levels in dragonworld. Yes I could go on forever. However, i'll rap this up.ONE THING THEY SHOULD'VE TAKEN FROM HYPER DIMENSION IS THE HENKA BEAM OF BUU, AKA HUMAN CANDY.. IN HD IT ACTUALLY TURNS THE OPPONENT INTO A COOKIE, BUU CHEWS 'EM UP, THEN SPITS 'EM OUT. I think the game deserves more credit since it's pretty interesting. GT is rather dull, and with the conclusion of the Z series, the anime was losing appeal. This game brought it all back in an instant. The case had me addicted at GameStop! The opening anime cinema was superb (although i'm questioning Vegeta's browning hair.. does that signify his approach to super saiya-jin?). You've got everybody, Gokou, Piccolo, Goten, Videl, EVERYBODY. The list goes on. The game has something for everyone. The voices were right from the anime too, which helped made the first play through the game an eye popping awe-fest. Techniques, item equips, and the big thrill - fusions. Gotenks and Vegeto top the charts obviously, and there's more glee in being them than watching them. But don't get me wrong, watching is game is fun too. Each character is vividly represented in all their glory, despite their shrinking usefulness in the anime. They even threw in the hyper mode similar to Hyper Dimension, and the ki deflect/clashes from Super Butoden on SNES. I mean, you can pick their outfit, customize them according to your preferences, and whip out some neat combos. Atari has now become, in my mind, a top game comany - on par with heavyweights like Squaresoft (err..Square Enix..)and Capcom, and I'd say majorly due to this release! Of course, there are the downfalls like no jumping, a poor storyline that warps the anime's, and a few missing characters that deserve some spotlight.

Steph has been a friend of mine almost from the very moment that I can recall having friends as a child. We grew up together in San Clemente, and she carted me through my shy elementary school days, onto my awkward middle school days and then of course to my rebellious high school days where we became serious partners in crime! We are now refined and respectful Wives and Mother's with blossoming families. We have grown in life together, the two of us, and now we have officially come together to bring you this beachy and fresh maternity shoot. She asked me to create head wreaths for Ashley and Emianna…whatever I wanted to make! So I came up with these little lovelies, a personal favorite of mine so far. Steph captured Ashley and Emianna just perfectly, their easy casualness, their sweet playfulness…love the warmth and comfort that emanates from these photos. Steph has a serious talent for fresh and beautiful family photography, seriously…check.her.out. Steph, Ashley and Emianna, Thank you for these BEAUTIFUL photos and for being your fabulous selves!
And a little note from Steph herself, on the inspiration behind this session:
"Ashley, daughter of famous longboard shaper Bill Stewart, is expecting her second baby girl in November. I really wanted to do a bohemian/beachy maternity shoot with Ashley and her look-alike 3 year old, Emianna. I knew I wanted white dresses and beautiful flower headwreaths. I also wanted to take the pictures at a place that had meaning to Ashley. Trestles was the perfect spot… the best surfing beach in San Clemente with a beautiful, tree-lined trail. Aly from The Vines Leaf made the most beautiful & delicate flower wreaths for both of them to wear. Ashley wore a bathingsuit cover-up by L Space and Emianna wore a darling dress from Zara. It turned out exactly as I had hoped and that belly of hers is just too perfect for words!!!"

Panel recommends $1,300 raise for FD council members
Fort Dodge City Council members ought to get a raise, but the mayor should not, a panel charged with reviewing the elected officials' pay recommended Monday.
The five-member Salary Advisory Review Board voted unanimously to recommend a $1,300 raise for council members in a move that would increase their salary to $6,100 a year.
The seven council members are now paid $4,800, an amount that has remained the same since 2002.
"There's no way that they're adequately compensated at $4,800," said Jim Koll, a member of the review board.
He added that "11 years without an increase seems ridiculous."
On a 4-1 vote, the board recommended that the mayor's salary remain at $15,000.
Koll and board members Kathy Bond, Martha Hagar and Lloyd Schachtner voted yes. Board Chairman Tom Chalstrom voted no.
Chalstrom said he believes it's fair to recommend a raise for the mayor since the salary for that position has remained unchanged since 2006 even though the cost of living has increased since then.
The mayor's position has been a part-time job since the city manager system was implemented in 2006.
The board's recommendations are expected to be submitted to the council for action on March 11. If the council approves the increase, it will not go into effect until January 2014.
Before acting on its recommendation for the council raise, the board heard from councilmen Dean Hill, Mark Taylor and Don Wilson.
Hill said during the winter he spends 20 to 30 hours a week on city business. During the summer, he said, he can spend in excess of 40 hours a week on council duties because of increased complaints from citizens.
Wilson said the price of gasoline has doubled in the 10 years he's been on the council.
Taylor said he spends 20 to 30 hours a week on council business.

I grew up "Southern Presbyterian" but I made the rounds to all kinds of churches. My first visit to a Pentecostal church as a teenager was a nice contrast after years of sterile Presbyterianism. I still think it's cool that Presbyterians were very active in the Underground Railroad. I don't church anymore, but I do believe.
I dig DuVall. Thought he was great in The Great Santini.
I just rented BRAVEHEART. I liked it so much I watched it twice.

BPM + G = BPM / G Living—the definitive voice for the modern urban human
I'm not intertwining my fingers in some clichéd gesture of synergy, but the newly formed BPM / G Living alliance is about as sleek as you can get. Like water off a duck's ass, really. BPM + G = BPM / G Living—the definitive voice for the modern urban human navigating through life with a conscience. I'm guessing that's you, a product of the discriminating industrial and computer age with everything at your fingertips. Tomorrow's electronics littered around the house, terabytes of music on insanely small and powerful computers, connected to the net 24/7. All those distractions no doubt make it difficult to put your best "G" foot forward.
It's going to take a bitch slap, with our wallets, to drive the point home. Like Al Gore, if we're going to change our murky landscape for the better, we need to be unflinching in our vision and delivery. The timing is right. There are practical and easy solutions for every facet of a green life. We need to demand that the ideas and products we're being fed have an equal or better standard than the traditional options everyone is used to. Living the "G" lifestyle isn't just about the environment; it's about living smarter, healthier and making informed decisions.
Quality + Function + Design + Style + Price all feed into the "G" factor. If the object or service you desire gives a nod to each part of the equation then it's "G." If it is sustainable, but poorly made, it's not "G"—it's simply a green item. Making that distinction is one of the most important things you can do. The tipping point is right around the corner. Mainstream corporations are jumping all over it like a behind-the-bleacher high school romance. The fact that NBC even did a "Green Is Universal" week is good… but can also be bad. If the public doesn't understand what the definition of "Green" is, then mainstream companies are going to define it for us. They will manufacture products that fit their own financial needs, and maybe not really the planet's or our own. Which was brilliantly underlined when Tina Fey (30 Rock) mocked the hypocrisy of a company like NBC (a subsidiary of General Electric) for jumping on the bandwagon. Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) asks Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), "Do you even know why we're going green, Liz?" "To save the planet," retorts Liz. "No," Jack fired back, "We're going green so we can drain the remainder of (Earth's) resources."
Our ultimate goal with "G" is to bring clarity to what is and what is not. To bring you information from an informed point of view—stale buzzwords and an empty green façade will not do. If our future is going to be bright we need real solutions. This is why BPM & G Living are now a team. We march to the same beat. Hopefully together we will bring you enough options to incorporate a little "G" into your ever-evolving lifestyle.

My Design Life (Well, Not Mine!)
The Cooper Hewitt was buzzing on August 16th when Lisa S. Roberts' show "My Design Life" was screened for an elite audience of design devotees. The docuseries premieres tonight with two back-to-back episodes on the Ovation network at 8:00 pm ET. The show, which will consist of ten thirty-minute episodes airing on consecutive Wednesdays at 8:00 and 8:30 pm ET/PT, follows Roberts and her team as they visit museum exhibitions, trade shows, retail stores and designers' studios in order to gather ideas and inspiration for her upcoming book DesignPOP: Popular Trends in Contemporary Product Design.
The new book explores the trends taking place in contemporary design throughout the past 30 years. Highlights from the show include visits to the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the design studios of Harry Allen and Tony Wurman; retail stores such as Design Within Reach and Moss; and restaurants, including David Rockwell's Pod and Christine Liaigre's Buddakan.
Viewers will learn about the history behind the featured designs, as well as back stories of the designers and manufacturers who created them. The aim of Roberts and her team is to educate their audience about the importance of contemporary design while adding an air of whimsy and accessibility at the same time.
Lisa Roberts began her career as an architect. After six years, she left the field to pursue her professional interests in product and graphic design. Most recently, she has designed products for museum stores, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum, among others. In the early 1980's Roberts began collecting contemporary product design objects, which she calls "Antiques of the Future." In 2006, Roberts published a book by the same title and, since that time, has traveled throughout the country speaking on the subject of design.
She has been featured on HGTV, The Today Show, and the Early Show, and Antiques of the Future was reviewed in Time, USA Today, Parade, Dwell, and local publications. In addition, Roberts serves on the executive committee and as a trustee of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, and as a trustee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), where she is a longstanding member of the museum's contemporary design group, Collab.
Tune in design fans for a vivid romp through the contemporary design world; you'll love the full-on, behind-the-sceens access!

This afternoon I delivered the Constitution Day lecture at Cooley Law School in Grand Rapids. The school did an excellent job promoting the event and I was thankful for an opportunity to speak about our founding documents and introduce Acton ideas and thought to law students. Much of my discussion centered upon Calvin Coolidge's notion that there is a "finality" and rest within our founding principles. When we endeavor to move beyond the principles of our founding; we begin to move backwards not forward. It was Coolidge who said, "To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race."
Today, we desperately need to recapture the truth that the whole purpose of our Bill of Rights and Constitution is to limit the federal government. As James Madison declared in Federalist #45, "Those powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. In my talk, I stressed the importance of staying faithful to the Constitutional text. My background is theology not constitutional law, but in seminary I was always reminded by my professor Ben Witherington, that "a proof-text without a context, is just a pretext for whatever you want it to mean." That is true of our founding documents, just as it is true of Scripture.
Our government exists to protect our natural rights. Coolidge, who was sandwiched between the progressive era and the New Dealers, told Americans something that is just as relevant now as it was then: "The pressing need of the present day is not to change our constitutional rights, but to observe our constitutional rights." Coolidge and Ronald Reagan probably talked more about the U.S. Constitution than any other 20th century presidents. I concluded my remarks by quoting Ronald Reagan's 1987 State of the Union Address where he talked about the exceptional nature of our Constitution: (more…)

Miracle plate for a miracle approachWednesday, December 15th, 2010
We're coming up on the second anniversary of Capt. Chesley Sullenberger's infamous water landing in the Hudson River in an Airbus A320. Sullenberger, who will forever be known as "Sully" to you and me, landed in the water after both engines failed when the USAirways flight to Charlotte, N.C., hit a flock of geese. Here's the FAA transcript of Flight 1549's ditching.
In recognition of Sullenberger's achievement, Jeppesen created a special approach plate that commemorates the landing, and Robert "Robin" Duggan was kind enough to share it with me. Robin says, " Notice the waypoints named for crewmembers…I also liked the name of the transition located at the northermost part of the flight path." (Click the image to make it larger.)

Three charged with marijuana following traffic stop
Three City of Dunkirk men are in the Dunkirk City lockup Friday evening on a variety of charges related to the possession and sale of illicit drugs.
According to Dunkirk Police, the incident began just after 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon when a Dunkirk Police patrol officer made a traffic stop for a minor traffic violation on Main Street near the intersection of E. 4th St.
The officer observed Noel Rodriguez, 33, of 124 Maple Ave., Dunkirk, who was wanted on an outstanding felony indictment warrant out of Chautauqua County Court for two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in the front passenger seat. Additional patrol units arrived to assist and Rodriguez was taken into custody without incident.
Police said a strong odor of marijuana was coming from inside the vehicle, which prompted officers to remove the driver and the back seat passenger and the vehicle was searched.
During the search officers allegedly located two mason jars filled with high quality marijuana buds and several marijuana blunts.
The driver, identified as Javier Hernandez-Gonzalez, 23, of 72 Lincoln Ave., Dunkirk was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of marijuana and failure to use headlights in inclement weather.
The back seat passenger, identified as Marvin J. Harvey, 22, of 154 Maple Ave., Dunkirk, was charged with fifth-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and criminal possession of marijuana. An additional charge of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance was also filed against Harvey after several Ecstasy pills were allegedly located in his possession during a booking search.
All three men were locked up in the City Jail pending arraignment in Dunkirk City Court.
Rodriguez will be transferred to Chautauqua County Court to face the felony counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

Speaker is no friend to city
Editor, OBSERVER:
I would like to comment on the article printed in the OBSERVER (Aug 30) "Beyond Coal: What is the Answer?" The speaker in attendance was at a gathering sponsored by the League of Women Voters held at a local restaurant.
I am sure we are all familiar with the Sierra Club. Their members came from Erie County to the Fredonia State forum to criticize our power plant and for it to be shut down. These people with their radical ideas could make Dunkirk a ghost town and destroy the very existence of our survival.
Yes, our survival as a city and county. These outsiders interfered with our way of life.
As residents of Chautauqua County, we do not take it upon ourselves to go to Erie County and interfere with their way of life so they should stay out of ours. That also goes to the speaker from the Sierra Club. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it the Sierra Club that was responsible for the stoppage of the expansion of the Peace Bridge because they were more concerned for the wildlife, birds, etc. Were they not responsible for the delay of constructing the bridge across Chautauqua Lake because of the wildlife? I think the terminology radical sure does fit this outfit.
What I don't understand is why do our politicians listen to these radicals and where do they receive their funding to exist?
The League of Women Voters should be ashamed of themselves to bring this radical to our community after what they did at the college. My final thoughts are this: Go home lady, you are not welcome here! And take a look at the NRG plant while you are here and remember that plant because we will not forget it or your organization. And last but not least, where is our governor who states he is business friendly. Why isn't he supporting us to save our city?

Family of missing man asks for public's help
In the Catbird Seat/Joe Kirkish
'Tis the month to celebrate the winter solstice: HEIKINPAIVA, and the Calumet Theatre joins in the celebration for its once-a-year CLUB FINNDIGO, featuring a new Finnish movie on Friday the 18th.
HELLA W is the name of the movie – a new, magnificently mounted drama about the life of one of Finland's most famous (and infamous) authors.
Hella Wuolijoki rose to fame in the early 1900s, at first locally in the country of her birth, Estonia, where she became both loved and scorned for her courage to invade the political and business world of men; she crashed high society, and then in the late '20s became known countrywide as she juggled a timber business while blooming as an exceptional writer of plays and movie scripts. She was accepted among Europe's prestigious writers like Bertold Brecht and Maxim Gorky. She knew world dignitaries, including the avowed Communists Lenin and Stalin. She smoked in the open (with a lengthy cigaret holder, clenched imperiously at the corner of her mouth), openly held her own footing among men and scandalized society with her brazen social life.
Her scripts included Hollywood's "The Farmer's Wife," starring Loretta Young in the lead, but her masterpiece, which she wrote while in a Finnish prison (thought to be a Russian spy during Finland's conflicts with that country) was a set of five plays, "Niskavouri," about generational clashes between members of an aristocratic family over the future of their home, Niskavouri – not unlike PBS's Masterpiece Theatre's "Downton Abbey" (three of the plays, incidentally, have been translated into English by Finlandia's Melvin Kangas; he recently produced, one each year, at the university. All three have been chosen for production next summer during FinnFest).
In the '20s, Hella emerged into a literary and political society that openly discussed culture while promoting left wing ideas. "I am not a feminist," she once stated, "but I am politically involved in what is right for our country." Accused by the Finnish police of being an illegal resident Marxist spy for the Russians, she was sent to prison after being caught hiding a Soviet paratrooper. Treated insufferably, she however took to her ancient typewriter and, a cigarette clamped firmly between her lips, surrounded herself in wreaths of smoke while she wrote unceasingly.
That imprisonment began in 1943 and continued despite pleas from friends, relatives and dignitaries, until she was finally released as a nearly broken woman late in 1944. Then she began in earnest to affect the political scene, became a member of the Finnish Parliament and even served out the '40s as director of the national broadcasting company – active but never completely returned to full health.
All her adult life, Hella continue to write, besides her dramas, several books under the male pseudonym of Juhani Tervapaa – all characterized by featuring strong female characters. She died in Helsinki in 1954 as an undaunted female – admired and acclaimed to this day.
In the movie, we first find her silhouetted against a window's bright light, working with intensity at her typewriter, blue smoke rising from her ubiquitous cigaret, clouding the air around her like an animated halo. From the start, she is shown as a strong, domineering woman, fearing no one. Even in prison, humiliated and treated like a common criminal, she survives to create her finest writings.
The film is top notch! If for no other reason, HELLA W should be seen as a remarkably powerful character study seen during the turbulent period in which she excelled. The film is attractively shot, from the authentically recreated early 1900s to awe-inspiring close-ups of the stocky, red-headed woman as she plunges from great heights to unpleasant prison life and back. And while the entire cast portrays well the characters that touch on Hella's life, it is Tina Weckstrom who shines in her portrayal of Hella. She dominates in the spirit of her times – a daring, undaunted woman, looking much like the grande dame of her fictitious Niskavouri. Long after the film is over, the face of the actress's feisty character and the part she played during Finland's querulous times remains.
A complete Finnish buffet will be served by Kangas Cafe & Catering in Hancock at 6 p.m., with the movie at 7:15 p.m. Cost for both, $18; movie alone, $5. There is a discount for kids younger than 10. A reservation for the buffet should be made by the 17th at 5 p.m. at the Calumet Theatre by calling 337-2610.
Plowe's Funeral Home in Houghton, Neil Ahola director and owner, sponsor the film.

In-flight vibrationsApril 3, 2013 by Tim McAdams
When a critical component in a helicopter's main rotor system fails in flight, the resulting accident is almost always fatal. How much warning, if any, does a pilot get with these kinds of failures? Unfortunately, the vast majority of helicopters do not have cockpit voice recorders and unless the pilot can provide ATC with details, it can be hard to understand exactly what happened. Even if the pilot is in contact with an air traffic controller, an emergency situation leaves little time to completely explain a problem. Consequently, the crash of a Bell 212 equipped with a cockpit voice recorder near Philadelphia, Mississippi is unique in that it provides some insight as to what the flight crew knew. The helicopter was destroyed and the airline transport-rated pilot and one passenger (who was employed by the owner as a mechanic) were fatally injured.
The transcript of communications recorded on the cockpit voice recorder showed that about 18 minutes before the accident, the passenger stated to the pilot, "Boy, those catfish are going crazy down there, aren't they?"
"Yep," the pilot responded, "must have been the vibrations from the helicopter."
About 1 minute, 30 seconds before the accident, the pilot asked the passenger, "Has this vertical just gotten in here or has it been here for a while?"
"We haven't had any verticals at all," the passenger replied.
"We do now," the pilot said.
"Yeah, well it started right after we left back there," the passenger said. "I think it maybe, ah, that's why I was thinking it was the air."
About 20 seconds later, the passenger stated that another person had tracked the helicopter's blades before they left and that he was commenting on how smooth it was. Forty seconds after that, the pilot said, "This stuff is getting worse."
The recording then ended.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the pilot and company maintenance personnel during preflight and periodic inspections to identify the signs of fretting and looseness in the red main-rotor blade pitch-change horn to main-rotor blade grip attachment. As a result, the NTSB found, the helicopter was allowed to continue in service with a loose pitch-change horn, which led to separation of the pitch-change horn from the blade grip and the in-flight breakup of the helicopter after the main rotor struck the tail boom. Contributing to the accident, the safety board said, was the pilot's failure to respond to increased vibration in the main rotor system and land immediately.
The lesson in this accident is that any unexplained vibration should be investigated on the ground until the source is found and corrected. Some parts and bearings that become loose can experience exponential wearing and fretting and quickly reach a failure point.

Shipments of video game consoles are increasing these days since consumers consider them as inexpensive entertainment. However, research company In-Stat believes that in mid-term future sales of game consoles will collapse, but the number of online video game services-related subscribers will increase.
"Unit sales of game console will decline moving into 2010, as a result of both the weak economy and a peak in each vendor's video game console lifecycle. The key vendors, including Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are staking out their online strategy to generate incremental revenue and promote brand loyalty," said Stephanie Ethier, an In-Stat analyst.
According to In-Stat, growth in online gaming subscriptions is expected to be strong due to a sizable console installed base and growing consumer awareness of online gaming. Console and handheld subscriber growth combined will grow a projected 20.4% between 2005 and 2013.
Each of the three key vendors is positioned to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual online gaming revenue from online service subscriptions, download revenue and/or online advertising, the research company claims. But, Microsoft's Xbox Live service will clearly lead, with projected revenue of over $1 billion in revenue annually by 2013. It is interesting to note that Nintendo, who has the most successful video game console of this generation still has the least advanced online service.
Worldwide broadband subscriptions will reach 562 million in 2009. The combination of broadband, installed home networks, and pervasive Wi-Fi in gaming devices, is fueling online gaming subscriber growth.
In 2008, total video game console unit shipments reached 88 million worldwide, up 7% from worldwide unit shipments in 2007, according to In-Stat.

Every journey begins with the first step and all that!
I'm having up and down days, but always smiling when I hear how far you have come on with your running. You really are doing brilliant, very proud of you
I've introduced you on the other thread so they are expecting you at somepoint to say hi. I've put "Oh - just to let you guys know I've invited a guy called Stewart to join us on this thread. We have been chatting for ages on a different thread and it has dwindled to just the two of us. He is in very north Scotland, love running, plays cricket, has a daughter who runs, helps out at his local running club, has a 10k booked soon (could be this weekend) and after many discussions signed up for his first HM in October. Some of his running sounds crazy hard work and makes me cringe, but a good guy all round, thought would fit in well and that would be good motivation for us all and for you lot to help someone else too " so looking forward to you popping over, plus they talk about other stuff too, like Silver has just got a new tread mill in the garage, his dog house so to speak and is loving cream cakes!
Ok, I'm off to take some more tablets and do some physio exercises, catch you soon I hope
How is it all going? Was the 10k this weekend? Sure you've done great

Skip to comments.President Barack Obama Flubs Spelling of "Respect" During Aretha Franklin Women of Soul Tribute
Posted on 03/07/2014 8:31:28 PM PST by Enchante
"When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her," he began, causing the crowd to laugh.....
(Excerpt) Read more at eonline.com ...
Just imagine the howls of media derision if this had been any conservative public figure..... Dan Quayle, anyone? We'd never hear the end of it, but in this case the groveling media will make light of it, to the extent they even report it at all.
That's chicken shit
Don't you know all Marxists are more evolved than Conservatives.
If Barky had grown up in America instead of Indonesia he would have known that song by heart.
His brain is fried.
It was an unconscious Freudian Slip. In (what passes for) his heart, Obama does not RESPECT anyone, but himself, and sometimes those in his inner-inner circle. He could not bring himself to even spell that word, not out loud, and certainly not for somebody who has been past her prime since about 1995, and rumor has it may have voted republican more than once.
In the warped world of America, a world controlled by the MSM, liberals can rape women, or kill them in their car, and all is well. Conservatives misspell a word (not even misspell it, but rely on a card handed to him by an educator), and kiss his career good-bye.
R-P-T-S uhhh... ya' kno what I'm talkin bout!!! Make no M-S-T-K-A... err.. never mind. Thank you, and good night!
So, the question is:
a) Can obama not spell RESPECT?
b) Is he too stupid to read?
c) Can the guy behind the teleprompter not spell?
d) obama really trusts what the teleprompter is telling him to say?
I think the added irony is he flubbed the spelling of that particular word at a time when our nation is receiving the least respect we've probably ever had in our history thanks largely to Maobama.
And that about sums it up.
He has earned none. And he has no respect for America, our country, our people , our history , our faith, or our values. So he has no reason or need to know how to spell it. It's a foreign concept to our number one illegal immigrant.
He was spelling Ebonically ...
It's just Ebonics ... respect in Ebonics is "r'spect."
even dead voters can speel Weespect!or is it Reaspect?
i wonder if Bambi can spell Relief?
The only thing he should be spelling is Moochelle's name on a conjugal form in prison, though I doubt she'd fit in the cell.
Sock it to me!
He was confused because that's how it's spelled on michelle's tattoo.
Exactly right. The interloping lying locust king wouldn't dare flub a muslim prayer though.
"I am so smart ...S-M-R-T..."
Thats chicken shit
Hey, no big deal.
Give the guy a break.
It's not like he miss spelled potato
There is a very good reason why Obama had trouble spelling the word respect. The word is not in his vocabulary. He simply doesn't know what it is. He has no respect for anyone. Now, "contempt" is a word I am absolutely certain he could spell.
Zer0's bin token. His mind is gone into the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. Ouch!
The only way at his age, you make those kinds of mistakes is if you were raised in a foreign or third world country with one english speaking parent. And even then, have a complete lack of interest in the U.S. after you're handed entry here.
Agreed. He sure doesn't respect our constitution.
Apparently the media has not yet received the news. By presidential degree, that IS the way to spell rspect now.
He has the weirdest mental lapses. Remember when he signed that guest book (in Great Britain, if I recall correctly), and wrote the wrong YEAR?
HE WAS STONED! Come on people, Wake up!

Reader's questions answered:
Hey Ren, I was wondering, about products to use for contouring those cheekbones. I noticed you use both mineralize skinfinish AND MAC'S sculpt and shape duo. Is the mineralize skinfinish used to set your makeup or can you just use it to contour? I've noticed in another blog that it's used as mainly a contouring powder, that's why I ask.
I actually use the sculpt & shape duo to contour. the msf natural is used as my setting powder...i like it because it gives my skin a glow as opposed to normal setting powder which can look too matte or cakey. i've heard that many use the msf natural as a contour as well...this requires going a shade or two darker than what you would normally use...for example...my skin tone matches msf natural in med dark. i would choose the msf in dark to contour. so you can you the sculpt & shape duo, or the msf...it's up to you! hope this helps :)
Hi RenRen,
I'd like to quickly say that I'm a huge fan of your makeup blog, and I visit your site daily. It's truly a great resource for anything related to make-up, and your tutorials are awesome! I know that a few posts back you mentioned starting your side bus. of applying makeup for brides and bridal parties. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions based on your experience. I'm actually going to be doing makeup for a bride and her 5 bridesmaids this coming Saturday (ekkk... )! I've got most of what I really need, but I wanted to get an idea from you whether or not there were a few tools I could do without this time around (i.e. disposable razors, etc.) and things you may have left off your list that you later found would have been helpful.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
Hi Hon!
Thanks for reading and checking out my site.
I definitely have a list of must-haves that I found helpful for working a wedding. I know you'll do great! Just remember, make sure to use face and eye primer. It will really make that makeup stay!
Here are some things I definitely needed that you might not think of
-bobby pins
-small pair of nail scissors
-fashion tape (to help fasten loose straps, etc…they'll love you for this!)
-alcohol in spray bottle
-lots of makeup brushes…if you have disposable lipstick brushes use these instead of a lip brush--it really cuts down on time
-safety pins
-disposable spatulas...to scoop out product and quickly toss away
-hand sanitizer...use this between each person
-blotting powder for touch ups
-if they're already dressed make sure you have a makeup cape/or the kind they use at the salon so they don't get dirty
-extra primer
-fix plus
-extra lashes just in case
-hair pins to hold back their hairdo
That's pretty much it besides the makeup, lol.
You can go without
-razors (I didn't need this)
-hair spray (if you're not doing hair)
-brushes and combs
Let me know how it works out for you!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Perfect conditions for this well organised eventIn full: Great medal and technical shirt, full road closures, parking supplied near the start/finish, very well marshalled, well organised. I had originally thought it a little pricey, but all things considered it's good value overall.Date of review: March 22, 2015
In short: Sunday taught me that cake makes everything better!In full: What can I say. This was an excellent race that I have sworn never to do again (at least until next year). It was superbly organised, the course was laid out well, there was an abundance of fantastic marshals who braved the elements to see us right, the aid stations were simply perfect, the cake was awesome, it made everything better. I'll just forget about the course, twisting my ankle, losing a shoe for a bit in a clay mud bog, falling over 4 times and the hills, the weather, the mud, the icy cold water and the 4.5 hours of misery so that I can talk myself into doing it again next year, just think about the cake :-)Completing this gave me a true sense of achievement, I'm still buzzing about it! Forget all those trendy obstacle races. If you want a real challenge this is it.Date of review: February 12, 2013
In short: Tough winter marathon in 'Sunny Southsea'!!In full: This was my first ever marathon, so I've not got much to compare it against, but it was grueling, hard work and tougher than I could have imagined, but at least the rain held off. The mud, puddles and wind made it all the more challenging. I'm so so glad I made a last minute call and left my road shoes in the car and put my trail shoes on.On a good day this has definite PB potential, however, not today (well apart from me with it being my first an all).The weather and conditions aside it was a great race, very well organised, well marshaled, quite possibly the best water stations I've ever encountered and a cracking atmosphere. Plenty of support from spectators and other runners alike, with a real sense of 'we're all in this together' going on.A big thank you to Rob and co for another great event.Date of review: December 23, 2012
In short: Santa Claus is coming to town!In full: What a great bit of fun, which is what this event is all about, not to be taken too seriously when it comes to the running, but costume prep is everything!!I had a great time dressed as The Grinch who stole Christmas, I scared some kids, got to wear green tights and makeup, helped raise some funds for the RNLI, helped a non-running friend achieve a 5k distance and fall in love with running and enjoy the little jaunt myself. Fun, friendly, great atmosphere, great value. Not often you get to go running with circa 2000 Santa's with bemused onlookers wondering what the hell is going on.Certainly not one to be missed if you have a sense of humour and are up for a laugh.Date of review: December 17, 2012
In short: "Fast flat course", they weren't kidding!In full: What a smoothly run event, very well organised from start to finish. Excellent marshalls, very encouraging, well laid out course, good water stops and some jelly babies thrown in too.I saw plenty in advance saying that this was a good course for a PB, well they were not wrong! I absolutely smashed my PB on this course, took almost 10 minutes off it and finished in 1:45, so so happy about that.The goody bag was great, a nice tote bag with cake, banana and drink inside, what more could you ask for. Medal is nice as well. All in all superb, very pleased with all of it. A big thank you goes out to the organisers.Will I be back next year, oh yes!Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: Bust busy busy!!In full: I started fairly close to the front of the white wave and was surprised at just how quickly I caught up with the orange wave runners. I ran a PB of 1:19:58 despite having to spend a lot of time dodging walkers from 2 miles onwards. There was me thinking I wasn't going to be quick enough for Orange!!That aside the crowds were spectacular with their support, as were the marshals and St.John's on route.I feel that this race may become a victim of it's own success as it's getting a little bit busy now! 25,000 entrants! That's a whole lot of people running through the same space!Finally, to enter the 2013 race it's now £41, that's a whole lot of money to run 10 miles!Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Perfect GSR warm up runIn full: This was a very enjoyable 10k. It was well organised and marshalled, who were very supportive and encouraging as well as being well positioned around the course.A personal best is achievable, even with the undulating nature of the course. I beat my previous best by a good minute which I am over the moon about.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: What a great slog!In full: This was my first foray into cross country running, ever, and my 2nd ever half (my first two weeks earlier).What can I say about this event, well firstly next time I do it I'm going to be wearing more appropriate footwear, my usual road going trainers made it hard work. Secondly I'm going to get some more trail experience in now that I've had my eyes opened to it!The scenery was fantastic, I really loved it and was grinning inanely for the first 8 or 9 miles and laughing away at each new challenge.Everyone was very friendly, the event was run smoothly and efficiently. I will be back to do this next year, I loved it.Date of review: September 6, 2012
In short: Hot and hilly with traffic and guess work with the route towards the endIn full: This was my first ever half marathon and I have to say it wasn't the best of choices on my part. I knew it was going to be tough and hilly, but I underestimated it somewhat, though the heat on the day definitely didn't help.I have to echo some of the other comments on here. The start was a bit shambolic, there was a bit of a lack of marshals towards the end, could have easily taken a wrong turn, especially towards the end. The sponges were much appreciated though, but where was the drinks station at the finish line? I must have missed it. I will probably be back next year, just to see if I can go sub 2 hours as I narrowly missed it this time, but this is a personal challenge rather than being impressed with the race course or organisation itself.Date of review: August 21, 2012
In short: A very well run event, great atmosphere!In full: Well I enjoyed that, what a well run event.We were greeted at the car park entrance by a really cheerful Marshall and this set the tone for the rest of the event. The marshalls were superb, incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient.Registration was in a big top they had set up in the grounds, this had a ever so slight downside, my two year old daughter got overly excited as was shouting 'Circus!!' with glee. Registration itself was quick, friendly and efficient. Then it was on to the start line after some warming up, ready for the off.The course itself was good with markers every km and plenty of support along the way, the roads being closed off and lots of marshalls and local residents lining the route as well as a couple of well positioned water stops.The hill towards the end was a bit of a killer but none the less I managed to beat my previous 10k best set on a flat course. I came in in a time of 51:03, which is quite respectable for a fat bloke!The end of the race, like the rest of the race, was well regimented, with chips removed, water bottle supplied, goodie bag and medal all at the ready. This is a race I would definitely do again. SuperbDate of review: July 16, 2012
