Why change a formula that works? This highly anticipated close to the Modern Warfare series was always going to be packed with huge set-pieces, alarmist warmongering rhetoric and a few bits to offend the easily offended. Nothing massively innovative has been added, it's simply the next chapter in the extraordinarily popular series. It continues where number two closed off, with nasty nationalist Makarov's campaign for world domination ticking along, before it all kicks off into World War III.
There are a bunch of familiar faces and some newcomers as the story works towards its spectacular conclusion, and as the game progresses you jump between characters and countries to wage war on Russian invaders.
This globetrotting shooter is just as fast and frantic as its predecessors, with marginally better graphics tying together the same frenzied gameplay. Pacing is rapid, with cut scenes kept short and sweet and the focus on dispatching enemies in many, many violent ways. But the linear nature of some levels does lessen the intensity of gameplay - it becomes "oh great, yet another massive firefight against all odds, shouldn't take long to get past it".
And for those who prefer campaign play to the online warzone, the story itself is frighteningly brief, an easy-setting run will last less than five hours - a longer game just requires cranking up the difficulty. But short as it may be, it's hugely engaging watching big, familiar cities get laid to waste as the battle rages - getting out of the way of a falling Eiffel Tower certainly has a bit of impact.
The nasty content count has probably increased - one scene where stealthing through the canals in Prague sees players pushing through bodies as enemy executions keep stacking the corpse pile higher. If you're easily shocked, this content can be turned off. One scene that has already attracted wowser ire - and rightly so - sees a family blown to bits in London by a terrorist bomb. It seems to exist solely for the purpose of winding up the PR machine, as MW2's terror raid on an airport did immediately upon release. Multiplayer continues to be the dominant feature - confirmed by the millions of hours logged on Call of Duty servers.
There's a new weaponry feature that upgrades the abilities of your favourite weapons - like more stability or better range - and there are thousands of weapon combos available through the dense RPG-style improvement tree. Killstreaks have now been chopped into two different sets, with gains made either by doling out death or helping out your team. There are more than enough new goodies in multiplayer mode to keep players coming back, most notable being the SpecOps missions and refined Team Deathmatch. Is it worth shelving BlackOps for? Yes, especially if you want to play with some far more serious hardware, explore the ever-evolving CoD multiplayer, fight among tourist trap landmarks in some of the world's most beautiful cities and see just how far the evil Makarov gets.

A Benefit For Strike Debt Bay Area
Strike Debt is an arm of Occupy Wall Street, born from the need to foster "resistance to all forms of debt imposed on us by the banks." One of its projects is the debt-buying-and-abolishing Rolling Jubilee, and another is the Debt Resistor's Operations Manual a publication best described as "half survivor guide, half exposé of the lending industry."

if "paid" is not beside your name then kg has not recd payment from you.....some have indicated to me its being sent........some I pm have not replied and some have not posted in several months so most likely those are dead cause.
close to 50 have honored their word and I thank those for doing so..............If u paid then you are in next year if u want to be.
those that dont are out and any new entries will pay up front or not be allowed in....(you can thank those that skipped out for that rule)
with at least 50 will go 30 per person...($1500,)........70% to first...20% to second and 10% to third......at 1500 thats 1050 for first....300 for second and 150 for third
we are into Feb so those that have not paid most likely are not going to.........Nolimifool, Willy, Conor,Mobig said they are sending so hopefully kg gets those soon.
will ramp it up around mid August so if u are not around in summer then check back in at that time for info
Like the plan for next year Dman! Let me know how I can help.
to those that could not pony up the $20.........really............guess we and all at Pregame know your word is not good as you would not make that effort to do as you promised and all for $20!
Dman - tried to access list and you have to approve to see it?
fixed it
to those that could not pony up the $20.........really
...yea , some real high rollers here........20 bucks over 4 month period...if u go in bar and get couple drinks and leave tip u blow 20
I paid two weeks ago and KG cashed my check, please update the list!! I'm the guy who sent 2 checks. The first one I sent had a 32 cent stamp on it, which I noticed as it left my hand as I dropped it in the mailbox at the post office. I was positive that it would be returned to me by the mailman so I sent the second one out right after that. Please take me off the deadbeat list!
we'll fix it
What's really offensive about these non-payers is that each and every one of them, had they won- would be expecting to be paid by those who lost. I defy each of them to look at themselves and say that isn't true. PAY THAT MAN HIS MONEY!
As sad a tale as this is over $20, I do not recognize many of these "members" from the Forums. It is quite likely that some had no intention of paying right from the very beginning. Interesting to see whether any of these d-bags became users right when the Pool was commencing?
Must be tough looking at ones' self in the mirror each morning......I'd like to see it tried on a couple of my books.....LOL
Thanks Dman, much appreciated.

Eddie Vedder thrills crowd in 1st El Paso show; says he will return because venue was great
EL PASO, Texas - (Nov. 2012 story)
Editor's note: The following is a review of Eddie Vedder's solo concert Wednesday, Nov. 7 at the Plaza Theatre.
Looks like another famous musician has fallen in love with El Paso.
For years Dave Koz has dropped by the Sun City for his holiday concerts. He would gush about the city during his performances, even joking about buying a home here. Beck had a memorable impromptu performance at the Black Market in 2006 and a mesmerizing performance at the Abraham Chavez Theatre in 2008.
On Wednesday night it was Eddie Vedder's turn to heap praise on El Paso - especially the Plaza Theatre. It was his first time playing in El Paso and it was 17 years since he played in the area when the band played in Las Cruces with The Ramones opening.
In his first performance ever in El Paso, Vedder was very talkative during a 31-song, 2-1/2-hour set.
He lamented having not played in El Paso - especially the Plaza Theatre before.
Early on during the show he mentioned that "There was an article in the local paper it said 'Eddie Vedder and his happy ukulele.' So I just wanna prove them wrong and play a really, really sad song." (Editor's Note: It happened to be at article written by me for What's Up)
The crowd laughed and he started playing "Broken Heart."
He played songs from both of his solo albums, some Pearl Jam songs, a handful of covers and even a song he had written the day of the concert.
A fan who waited near Vedder's tour bus was able to meet the singer before the show and gave Vedder a Les Paul ukulele - an instrument Vedder had never seen before.
Vedder wrote a song, as yet untitled, using the electric instrument and played it during the concert. One set of lyrics talked about rising again after you have already risen.
Vedder played most of the show solo but joined on a few songs by opener Glen Hansard. He also if there were any female singers in the audience that would like to sing backing vocals on "Tonight You Belong to Me."
Melissa Ibarra, who happened to be sitting in my row, was chosen. After spending a few minutes backstage preparing, she joined Vedder and nailed the song.
Vedder had fun with the Plaza Theatre and some of its unique features, such as the lights that illuminate the plants on the side of the venue, as well as the "stars" on the ceiling.
The Pearl Jam frontman learned about the Plaza's history and how it was almost demolished in the mid-80s. He said if he ever met those who saved it, he would thank them profusely.
Other than the music, a couple of unique aspects about the night were the El Paso-specific merchandise. The poster looked like a military leader smoking a joint, while the picture on the T-shirt looked like an old time postcard.
He enjoyed the night so much, he said he would be back and play the Plaza again.
Fans are definitely hoping it won't be another 17 year wait.
There's a remote chance the concert could one day see the light of day as an official bootleg release. The show's audio was recorded by the sound engineer and there was also a camcorder set up recording the whole show. When a planned live Sirius XM broadcast of Vedder's Phoenix show didn't happen because of technical problems, His Las Vegas show from just a few days earlier was aired.

text: I agree with you, I don't know of any athlete who would give up the chance to win TWO Olympic medals. No one can rely on wining gold in an event even if they're the favorites. Illness, accidents or injuries can happen and then they would loose both?!? I doubt any skater is (or should be) that confident.

I suited up and went to check it out. It looks like they have taken up hive in a hole in the house and bees are flying in and out everywhere. How do I go about getting them out. The hole is about 2 inches in dia. What can I do to get them? I would like to try to hive them. Thanks!

One of my favorite things about summer (now that my sweetheart readers have demonstrated their utter excellence I can go back to loving summer...from the popsicle perfection of my lovely air conditioned home) is all of the PARTIES. If your social calendar is anything like mine, every single weekend is jammed with barbecues, impromptu dinners, pool parties, backyard luaus and potlucks. The heat wilts my social anxiety just enough for functionality's sake and wherever I turn, there's an icy mint julep with my name on it. Ah, summer.
Today I'm going to tell you what you're going to bring the next time your favorite vegan friend has a potluck on her porch.
Here's a little secret about me and parties. I like to look like a lady. I like things that you can eat without looking ridiculous. I like food that doesn't require a plate. Consequently, I like tarts. They're self-contained, elegant, smart and a little uppity. People who don't make tarts will be impressed with you. People who do make tarts will want to hang out with you. It's really a win/win situation. But let's mix it up. Bring a vegetable tart to the party. Now you're popular and innovative! Marry me.
It's July and tomatoes are starting to taste how tomatoes are supposed to taste. A warm, ripe, perfect tomato is one of the simplest and deepest pleasures in the world. I do not understand people who don't like tomatoes. (Frankly, I don't really care to understand them.) In addition to perfect tomatoes, the farmer's market in my neighborhood has been offering up the tiniest zucchini and the sweetest onions. And you really can't take a step in any self-respecting garden (like mine) without tripping over a tangle of herbs.
All of those things in a flaky, rich, pastry shell? You'll be bringing the party. Be modest.
Summer Vegetable Tart [Vegan]
Preheat your oven to 400°
For the crust:
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 t salt
8 T vegan margarine cut into small pieces (I am crazy about Earth Balance brand Buttery Sticks)
ice water (approximately 4-5T)
Blend the flour and salt. With a pastry cutter or knives, cut the margarine in until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water until the dough comes together in a nice clump. (You can totally use a food processor to do that. It takes about four seconds.) Gather it together, give it a knead or two and wrap it in plastic to chill for an hour.
For the vegetables:
3 large sweet onions
3-5 tomatoes
olive oil
fresh herbs
To caramelize the onions: Slice them. Stop crying. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a nice, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and stir to coat with oil. Now cook them for-ever. I'm kind of not kidding. Here's the thing. Caramelized onions are amazing. They are sweet, complex and delicious. They are worth the time it takes to make them. (Want to hear my rant about the importance of slow food? No? Oh, okay.) AND if you keep the heat relatively low, you can absolutely do other things while they cook. Stir them when you think about it, and add a tiny bit of oil if they start to stick. It probably will take about an hour total. Do it because you love someone. Or because you have something to prove. Or because you love delicious things. Either way. Do it.
Slice your tomatoes and zucchini. I like them sliced thin to keep things from getting soggy and to ensure even cooking.
Now let's prepare a little sauce. We're making a pistou, which is basically a pesto without cheese or nuts. In a mortar and pestle (or food processor) throw a few cloves of garlic, a handful of your favorite herbs (I used thyme, oregano, basil, and chives) and a generous amount of olive oil. Smash it all together until you have a beautiful emerald green paste. (I thinned mine with additional olive oil so as to brush it over the tart.) Taste it, and season with salt and pepper.
To assemble:
Take the pastry out and unwrap it. On a floured board, roll it out to slightly larger than your tart pan. Mine was a rectangle, but this quantity would work for a nine inch diameter circle as well. Fit it into the pan, and prick the bottom with a fork. Because you're going to pre-bake the crust, you should weight it. You can either waste your money on official "pie weights" at a cooking store like a dope, or be like me, and buy about two pounds of cheap beans. (Mine are navy beans.) Designate them "Pie Weights" and don't ever eat them (because you're going to bake them over and over.) Put a piece of parchment down on your pastry, and pour your pie weights on top. These will keep your crust flat and perfect.
Bake for twenty minutes. Let cool. (Save those pie weights for next time!)
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°
In your cooled, baked tart shell spread the caramelized onions.
Layer with thinly sliced tomatoes
and brush with pistou.
I wove the zucchini slices like a lattice over the tomatoes. You don't have to, but it sure does impress a crowd. I think it would be pretty to alternate tomato slices with thinly sliced zucchini rounds.
Bake for twenty minutes, until the zucchini is golden and the tomatoes are bubbling.
It's perfect served at room temperature to a bunch of people you really like.
What do you bring to a potluck?

Town Square
Slavery is on the rise in America
Original post made by Al Bell, Old Towne, on Dec 4, 2011
Can this be true? But I say, if you have less money than you need, are you not less free? If the money
that you do have is being taken away from you, are they not taking away your freedoms? Take away a
man's money, and you take away his freedom of choice.
The new slavery is the government's obsession with taking your money at every opportunity. How many kinds of taxation can you count? You don't have enough fingers to count how many ways government sticks its greedy fingers in all your pockets! And your children's pockets before they are even of age, borrowing spending money that your children will have to pay back all throughout their lives.
We non-government works of America are becoming slaves to the growing, powerful governmental system of endless taxes, even though we aren't getting anything extra for our money other than sweeter and more tempting political promises that lead nowhere accept to the success of the IRS.
In the 19th century, the political party of the diabolical black slavery system of half this country was the Democrat Party. They stood for no freedom for black Americans; that black Americans were merely property, no better than sheep or cows. The Democrat Party argued furiously for this position, and demanded that the entire country embrace the disgusting enslavement of fellow man, and they went to war and fought for their sick lust of slavery.
Today, the Democrat Party again stands for slavery of a new kind: "Take as much money from as many people as we can! Say anything to fool them! Use any excuse!"
But you are losing your freedom as a result. How many of you feel you don't have enough money anymore? Did you cause this yourselves? No! It is caused by the horrible government taxing at every level that is doing it to you. I lived in a country once with no taxation at all. Saudi Arabia. Everything was cheaper. In America, there is a tax at every turn. I'm taxed when I make money. I'm taxed when
I spend money. I'm taxed because I own a home. I'm taxed for every car. I'm taxed to pay for all these pointless military adventures on the opposite side of the planet. I'm taxed to give away money
to foreign countries. I'm taxed so that government workers get lifetime pensions almost as much as their salaries -- I'll never get anything like that, unless I join the government – never!
More tax – less freedom, just more slavery to the government.
I find it ironic that Barack Obama, a black man – and no other should be more sympathetic to enslavement of Americans – is the champion of the Democrat Party, and responds so obediently when the Party cracks the whip demanding more taxes and more government spending of money
they don't have and that we, the enslaved taxpayer, and our enslaved children, must pay for.
Yeah, he'll make a ton of money over the rest of his life at speaking engagements, sipping $100 per bottle wine, while the rest of us, black and white, pay more and more and more out of every paycheck
for those astronomical amounts of overspending that he authorized and signed into law.
President Obama should take a lesson from the greatest black man of America who ever lived: Frederick Douglass, born a slave, the first black Republican, who risked his life fighting slavery and the
will of the Democrat Party to perpetuate slavery. Frederick Douglass voted for Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party: the anti-slavery party ... as it is today!
Today, slavery is not black, it is green – the color of your money. The monsters that seek to steal a man's reward for his daily labors no longer care about the color of skin or gender or age or anything:
they want all men and women to give over more and more and more to they, the master class: our public "servants".
I say: Fight them at the polls! Fight them in the papers! Fight them at the blogs and around the coffee stations at work!
If you don't, more and more will be taken from you – you will have less and less.
There comes a time in every life when you must unpeel your warm, blanket of comfort, crank up, and fight for your freedom. Freedom is not free. Taxes take away freedom. They're even taking more
and more money from businesses, causing less and less jobs.
Help stop this evil: Work for candidates who want less government power, and vote against any candidate that wants more government taxation and spending.
Don't you deserve freedom?

Taxes are lower today than they were thirty years ago.
" Republican Party: the anti-slavery party ... as it is today!"
Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush both raised taxes.
I notice you didn't mention Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. How do you propose we pay for these programs without raising taxes and reforming those programs? What about the enormous debt we are passing to our children?

Very obtuse observations, indeed.
a resident of Downtown
on Dec 4, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Al Bell reminds me of "rebellious" little third grade boys who inscribe Nazi swastikas on their school desks in order to gain attention. The third grade boys, of course, don't know any better.
Al Bell's comparison of today's US citizens and pre-civil war slaves is akin to saying one should put the blueberry muffins into the oven and wait until they come out cooked like the Jews were in Nazi Germany.
Al Bell's inability to grasp the true horror of slavery in America's history describes the kind of mentality that goes into teens burning an African-American church because, after all, blacks don't sufficiently appreciate the freedoms we've given them.
If there were twelve year-olds pushing over tombstones in a Jewish cemetary, I'd expect Al Bell to wish he were sharing in the fun.
Were Al Bell in attendance at a lynching of African Americans, I'd expect his mouth would be drooling spittle caused by his ecstatic state.
In other words, the guy is one sick little puppy. GOP take heed. He's one of your own. I wonder why?

Ho, hum. The expected, virtually scripted, typical left-wing obsessively socialist response.
Say anything, boys, to lead toward your communist obsession: Do what feels good, and pretend Governement is God ... while you sell your future peace, freedom, and security to your oligarchic idols.
Foolishness, the common rust of history.

Al Bell ... You blame the left, yet you are a slave to the 1% who have taken all the dollars and kept them hidden away from you. You blame the poor man because the 1% elite have sold you a bill of goods. The rich are corrupt and you blame blame blame blame.
It's the corrupt rich, not the dumb poor that are making the American situation a non-retrievable debacle.
You defend the rich, but I bet my bottom dollar you are NOT rich yourself. If you were you wouldn't be shouting from the mountain top. You would be buried away in a safe haven away from the crowds. You are just part of the standard fare middle of the roader who thinks they've won the game. Big house maybe. Maybe not. Look at your neighbors ... all foreigners. Look at the town. All imports. You can't blame that on the poor.
Your real enemy is the rich, the very rich.
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Dec 5, 2011 at 8:21 am
MT . . . that sums up your arguments, three times over. Everything is poor vs rich. All your posts, Gollum, seek to start arguments. If you are wealthy, you are corrupt; and if you are poor, you are dumb. You have no respect for anyone, least of all yourself.

Never once said I agreed with Al. I said on another topic that the extreme positions taken by either side are not helpful to solving anything.
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Dec 5, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Gollum, Mr. Bell chose an extreme way to express his viewpoint. You do the same thing . . . all . . . the . . . time. If you choose to behave as others do, then you are no better than they.
Picked this up on another blog, Project Syndicate: "The only logical and moral conclusion is that America and other developed countries should make massive transfers of wealth, jobs, income, and benefits to the Third World." This was a blog comment on an article by Mr. J. Bradford DeLong, former assistant secretary of the US Treasury, Professor of Economics at the University of California at Berkeley, and a research associate at the National Bureau for Economic Research. Think I saw you posting out there as Modicum.

This is why all of us need to watch Sacramento. It's important for OWS or any other group wanting to know where tax dollars are being spent, specifically in this case, by the Assembly. From the Tri-Valley Times: Web Link
"The arguments were an attack on the public's ability to monitor taxpayer dollars . . . [Judge] Frawley rejected them all, correctly noting that open-records laws should be construed 'to ensure maximum disclosure of the conduct of government operations.'"

- Written by Dave Walsh
A few days ago Dzevad Poturak announced that he would be retiring come this September at Final Fight 07 in Sarajevo, although there was no opponent chosen yet. That has changed today as we find out that Poturak's final opponent will be Stefan "Blitz" Leko. This is an interesting fight for both men as Poturak has undoubtedly had better results over the past few years, while Leko has fallen upon hard times, having a hot and cold career since 2005 or so.
This makes Leko a perfect last opponent for Poturak, as a win over Leko will help to put a good bookend on his career, but a loss to Leko will not be seen as any sort of disgrace, either, as Leko still shows flashes of brilliance when he is motivated.

An Indian friend of mine makes a dish that consists of chickpeas, cauliflower, eggplant, tomato, onion, turmeric, mustard seed and chilli powder over top of white rice. It is a great filling dish and of course vegetarian.
Any other ways to create this dish?

Re: Chickpeas
Hi chocobanana,
This sounds like what you're after: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ … rry-recipe
It's a really nice dish, but needs plenty of seasoning.
And I think it's nice to have something slightly sour to lift it - so I either add some tamarind, or serve it with natural yoghurt.

Re: Chickpeas
Thanks. I am more of a spicy food kind of guy. yes, it requires a tad amount of salt but if you use more chilli powder it cranks it up the heat to an intensity that gives it added flavor. Of course, your tongue has to be accustom to this type of heat.

President Barack Obama traveled to Australia Wednesday to meet with the country's prime minister, Julia Gillard. At a news conference, they announced an agreement to increase U.S. military presence in Australia. The island nation is a long-time ally, or friend, of the United States.
Under the agreement, about 250 U.S. Marines will be sent to northern Australia starting next year. That number is expected to climb to 2,500 over the next several years. The move shows the world that the U.S. and Australia will work together in the future to tackle threats. "These initiatives are the result of our countries working closely together as partners," Obama said. "[That means] we are going to be in a position to more effectively strengthen the security of both of our nations and this region."
Watching over the Asia-Pacific
Obama and Gillard said that the agreement will allow them to provide greater humanitarian aid in the region during natural disasters. But the announcement is also a response to China's growing presence in the Pacific region. The Asian country has claimed authority over areas of the Pacific that the U.S. considers international waters, or open sea areas outside the territory of any nation.
What's more, China has been building up its military. It has also restarted old territorial disputes over the South China Sea and other areas. The U.S. and smaller Asian nations are concerned over China's actions. Obama says China needs to accept the responsibilities that come with being a world power. "It's important for them to play by the rules of the road," he said.
Obama's two-day visit to Australia is his first as president. He canceled two earlier visits, once in 2009 and again in 2010, after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The President was welcomed with an official arrival ceremony, in Canberra, Australia. He spoke with school kids and signed a guest book before meeting with Gillard.
The Australia visit comes after Obama hosted an Asia-Pacific economic summit in Hawaii, where the U.S. and eight other nations reached an agreement that set standard rules for commerce, or trade. Obama says the U.S. is "stepping up its commitment to the entire Asia-Pacific."

If you dont mind a suggestion. If your drill pess table will spin upside down, put a 90 degree block up and shim the receiver out. This will put the buffer ring flat on the table and square. It will be most stable this way. When you drill youll be going though the center hole of the table from the back side and the receiver will be true. You just cant press hard, let the bit cut. Its hard to discribe but i did it at a friends with great results. I can set it up and send pics if needed.
BTW how did you do such nice work on the fcg pocket without a mill??

I believe I have ruled out a bad battery as I have switched it with another vehicle and the problem stays with the Sub. I removed the wire that attaches to the alternator and the problem doesn't go away so I think it isn't the alternator, plus the battery reads at about 14.75 when the Sub is running so the alternator seems like it is doing its job?? What else would be draining the battery that fast? What else do I check and how?

"Roll to hit" takes on a new meaning in my nephew's version of Dungeons & Dragons.
Left to his own devices, and left with a huge pile of my dice, this is the D&D variant my nephew Jack came up with. Watch the video below to find out what happens.
The backstory:
The adults were talking boring adult talk, and lacking fun toys for my two nephews, I let them delve into my cache of plastic figurines and old D&D dice. Many of these dice were my originals, dating from the 1970s and 1980s, back when I was little older than Jack.
Jack, my older nephew who was 9 at the time, proceeded to arrange all the dice on one end of my living room floor, and the miniatures at the other. Both groups were arranged in complex formations. My younger nephew Henry (then 5) also created his own designs with the miniatures.
I asked Jack what he was up to. He had no idea how to actually play D&D.
All he knew was the game had something to do with dice, minis, orcs and killing stuff.
"This is Dungeons and Dragons," Jack then offered, spontaneously, with my iPhone camera trained on him. "Well, the new verison."
He called his new game "Dungeons versus Dragons," "dice versus mini characters," "figurines versus dies," and "flicking die." (FYI, I later learned that he was saying "flicking die" not another f-word-ing followed by the word "die.")
Then, Jack began to play. The battle began. OK, it was a pretty rules-lite version, if there were any rules at all. And not a lot of role-playing.
But I applaud his inventiveness and imagination. Give kids some open-ended toys and stuff to play with, and they make up their own games.
This D&D is a work in progress. Or, as Jack said, "I'm not done yet."

Attracting the Next Generation while Keeping the Current One Satisfied
Sodick's recent Smart Technology event showcased new machines as well as screen options designed to attract the next generation.
At Sodick's recent Smart Technology Event in Schaumburg, Illinois, the company hosted more than 200 attendees, including Modern Machine Shop Editor Emily Probst, to showcase its new range of rigid linear-motor-driven wire EDMs and new electrode machining center.
The company launched an SL series wire EDM at the event. The series features four models in two specification levels: SL-Q and SL-G.
One enhancement that caught my eye was the SL series' Sodick Control SPW (Smart Pulse Wire), which uses the Windows 7 operating system and functions similar to a tablet. Designed to keep the machine simple, yet help draw in the next generation of users, the operation screen enables operators to toggle between classic and tablet views, depending on preference.
Visitors could listen to vendor presentations, tour the facility and watch live machining demonstrations of the SL600G wire EDM, among others. The rigid linear-motor-driven EDM is coupled with glass scales on the X, Y, U and V axes to ensure precision and positioning accuracy. It features X-, Y- and Z-axis travel measuring 23.62" × 15.75" × 13.78", respectively. Wire diameter can range from 0.002" to 0.012", and the machine can accommodate workpieces ranging to 2,204 lbs.
The TT1-400A was also introduced at the event, although the concept was first shown at IMTS 2012. The latest version of the machine is designed for precision graphite and copper electrode machining using a 40,000-rpm, high-torque, high-speed HSK-E25 spindle.

Student kayaking in Mexico during Thanksgiving visit
>> View video of whitewater kayaking
UTSA hosts Thanksgiving whitewater excursion
By Eliot Howard, Assistant Director for Outdoor Pursuits, and David Dunnington, Student Coordinator, Campus Recreation
(Dec. 17, 2008)--Five UTSA students had an unforgettable Thanksgiving adventure whitewater kayaking in Central Mexico with UTSA Campus Recreation staffers and former Olympic kayaker Ben Kvanli.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Article tools
The UTSA Outdoor Pursuits program hosted the students on the 12-hour drive to a little-known whitewater destination near Ciudad Valles. The Mexican state of San Luis Potosi is lush and mountainous with deep, rugged canyons. We paddled several sections of the emerald-green Rio Micos, which cascades under a dense, bromeliad-laden forest canopy. We saw exotic tropical birds and kept our eyes and ears open for the monkeys, which give the river its name.
Mostly though, we kept our attention focused on the incredible whitewater paddling. The limestone canyons in the region are lined with smooth travertine deposits from the spring waters that supply most of the flow. The resulting river channels provide "pool/drop" rapids that are ideal for beginner and intermediate whitewater kayakers -- big, exciting class III whitewater without a lot of the river hazards typically associated with rapids of this level.
Prepared with pre-trip skills, practice and a strong spirit of adventure, we followed our guides off 20- and 30-foot waterfalls. That much "air time" gives you a chance to reflect on what you're really thankful for.
>> View a photo gallery from the Mexico whitewater trip.
We experienced many natural wonders through the course of the excursion and filled each day more thoroughly than we could have imagined possible. The rush of the nearby Micos woke paddlers each morning to a lush forest cloaked in dense fog. We explored a cave complete with bountiful stalactites.
We explored Edward James' famous sculpture gardens of Las Posas in Xilitla and rappelled a jungle waterfall. We had adventures in border crossing, driving through crazy traffic and negotiating meals with street vendors. At every point along the way, there was wonderful hospitality from the locals. Our first international trip was a milestone for the Outdoor Pursuits program and will be long remembered by each of us who went. Now we can't wait for the busy spring trip schedule to get started.

Wayne Law Ranks in Top 40 Law Schools Nationwide in 2010 Super Lawyers Listing
DETROIT (Nov. 18, 2009) – Wayne State University Law School was ranked as a top 40 law school in the 2010 Super Lawyers listing published Nov. 17, 2009. The list, which ranks law schools based on the number of graduates selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers magazine, placed Wayne Law 37th out of 180 law schools nationwide.
According to Bill White, publisher of Super Lawyers and Law & Politics magazines, the ranking serves as an indicator of the quality of alumni law schools produce.
"Most law school rankings look at things like bar passage rates, professor-to-student ratios and the number of books in the library, but they ignore the end product — the quality of lawyers produced," White said in a Nov. 17 release on the Super Lawyers blog. "We think it's like ranking football teams based on athletic facilities, player size and equipment without considering who wins the games."
Previously, the 2009 issue of Michigan Super Lawyers magazine released in September placed Wayne Law at the top of its list of law schools whose graduates are among the most accomplished in the state. According to the magazine, 347 – or 24 percent – of Michigan's top lawyers are Wayne Law graduates. (Link to September release here.)
Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman stated in a September letter to alumni and friends, "I believe that this listing says a great deal about our law school. Year in, year out, Wayne Law graduates are leaders of the bar, in Michigan and elsewhere. And it is easy to see why. Our students are bright, mature, conscientious and altruistic. They understand that anything they achieve will be the product of hard work. Our faculty are superb teachers, whose nationally and internationally recognized scholarship adds depth to our students' understanding of legal theory, doctrine and practice. Our students and faculty are engaged in the community and the profession, demonstrating that the worlds of academia and practice can be effectively linked. This mixture of motivation and expertise has produced several generations of superb lawyers."

Customers generally have two concerns about reel motors. Number one: if a motor runs slow and intermittently, the cutter will suddenly stall and not immediately come up to speed. Customers tell us when motors pulse or vibrate or throb it leads them to believe the cutting will be uneven and unacceptable.
The second problem is oil leaks. Oil leaks out of the motor because the seal between the case halves has failed or because the aluminum casting components of the motor are porous. Also, shaft seals made from inconsistent quality materials may also cause the motor to leak. And as you know, oil on turf is an operator's worst nightmare.
The good news is that we know why both of these problems occur.
Field experience shows stalling problems typically happen within the first couple hundred hours of operation. Over the past few years we've done extensive testing (over 15,000 total hours) to eliminate stalled motor problems and oil leaks so you can have confidence our new Genuine Toro reel motors will give you the trouble-free operation that they expect from Toro.
Reel motors have been in transition at Toro. We have been replacing the old motors with a new motor on the Greensmaster® 3150 Riding Greensmower from our supplier Sauer-Danfoss. Today, replacement motor orders will be filled with the new improved motor whenever possible.
Oil Leakage The new reel motors are virtually leak free. Here's why. We're using a new European-engineered bushing in block design versus the old needle bearing design. This new bushing and block design is becoming the industry standard with most manufacturers of small gear motors now using it. The new Toro reel motor has better sealing characteristics because the seals are simpler and more durable than the old motors.
Side Plate Design and Thickness: The design includes pressure-loaded side plates that hold the seals against the gears so oil can't by-pass and leak. Some reel motors on the market are cheap hydraulic gear motors that use a fixed-clearance design which does not have a pressure-loaded side plate. The performance of the motor depends entirely on the tight tolerance of the motor to keep the oil from bypassing the gears.
The old motor featured thinner pressure-loaded side plates (0.243" thick) which were more prone to stick in the motor housing. As a result, oil would start leaking past the gears and the motor would not retain its proper operating speed.
The new motor side plates are much thicker (0.551" thick). With thicker plates, there is less chance for the plates to "cock." As a result, the thicker side plate prevents oil from leaking and the new motor will not have the stalling/slow running problems that have been troublesome in the past.
Another advantage of pressure-balanced plates is that they keep compensating (adjusting) to retain the motor's high-efficiency capabilities throughout the life of the motor.
High efficiency: The new reel motor features a high-efficiency, pressure-balanced design, long-life material bushings, quiet operation and proven reliability and performance. What exactly does high efficiency design mean in reel motors?
Gear Teeth:The old reel motor incorporated 10 gear teeth. The new Sauer-Danfoss motor features 11 teeth for a smoother operation.
Power:The new 0.73 cu-in motor will replace the current 0.73 motor and in the future a new 0.43 motor will replace the current 0.43 motor.
Material The bushings in the new Toro reel motors are made from harder alloys that are more durable for longer life.
Installation Most will-fit competitors basically buy their reel motors from Sauer-Danfoss which are similar to the current Toro motors, but not exact. Will-fit motors don't include our mounting flange that make installing a Toro reel motor much faster and easier.

Running back Michael Ford, from Leesville. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 5:48 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
Michael Ford appears to have known what he was doing last spring when he left LSU a year early.
The Leesville High product seems to have won a job with the Chicago Bears when the team cut veteran Armando Allen Friday.
Allen was in competition with Ford for the third-string running back spot on the Bears behind Matt Forte and Michael Bush.
Forte, who was born in Lake Charles, is the Bears' workhorse and Bush is easily the backup. But the third spot was up for grabs when camp started and the undrafted Ford seems to have won the spot.
The Bears cut 17 players Friday to drop their roster number down to 58 with five more spots to go. They have to be down to 53 by Saturday evening.
Ford said all along he was ready to earn his keep and just needed a chance after seeing little playing time over the years at LSU. He backed that up with a strong camp and an impressive preseason.
During the four preseason games, Ford was tied with Forte in rushing yards for the Bears with 149. He also had two touchdowns, one behind Bush in that category.
Ford finished the preseason with 149 yards on 39 carries, including a long run of 27.
Allen, who struggled with a hamstring injury, had 51 yards on 13 carries and did not score.
Ford also showed he could catch the ball, finishing tied with Alshon Jeffery with eight catches. Ford had 65 yards on those grabs.
Where he really turned some heads was on special teams. Ford had a team-high 11 returns for 368 yards, as the Bears saved all-Pro Devin Hester for the regular season.
That included a 100-yard return that didn't get him in the end zone, as Ford was tackled at the four-yard line.

Cookie dough and chick flicks will do in a pinch, but if you're really looking to make waves on your next girls' night out, a splashy change of scenery may be in order.
Throw those bottles of nail polish overboard and hang ten in a tropical paradise with all your favorite dudettes: You're headed for Santa Teresa, a little town on the southern tip of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula—from February 10 to 17, 2013; February 17 to 24, 2013; February 24 to March 3, 2013; March 3 to March 10, 2013; March 10 to March 17, 2013; March 17 to 24, 2013; April 7 to 14, 2013; April 14 to 21, 2013; April 21 to 28, 2013; May 12 to May 19, 2013; or May 19 to May 26, 2013—courtesy of Chica Surf Adventures.

You and your sporty sisters will be totally on board when you kickflip into your trip greeted with transportation and smiling faces at the Tambor Airport, followed by a welcome happy hour, where you'll sip on your choice of caipirinhas or caprioskas.
Whether you're a beginner or a pro, your confidence is sure to get some epic air on and off the sparkling Pacific waters.

Point your board toward a pipeline of one-of-a-kind memories you won't find on a Saturday shopping spree, and shred the stereotype and tow-in to a retreat that's both gnarly and nice.

To be very honest, I hadn't planned on writing about all the nasty criticism Kim Kardashian's been getting about her pregnancy weight gain, because sadly, celebrity weight bashing is nothing new. I also figured that people would spew their nastiness and then move on to their next victim as soon as some other famous woman had the audacity to eat a whole slice of bread or leave the house without four pairs of Spanx strangling her body parts.
Unfortunately, the hits keep on coming. This morning I read that Donald Trump had decided to voice his opinions on Kim's pregnancy fashion choices, saying that he didn't think she should be wearing tight clothes because they were not appropriate for women over 120lbs. First of all, let me just say that it's so nice to see Donald speaking out this way since he's usually so shy about sharing his opinions and is always so very careful not to speak with authority on issues he knows nothing about.
Oh, if only that were true.
While I may not be the hugest Kim Kardashian fan and have yet to figure out exactly WHY she is famous and I realize that with her very public lifestyle and reality show, she invites the world into her life (the good, the bad, and the stuff nobody really needs to see), but I still find it despicable that people choose to insult her body when it's in the process of doing something pretty spectacular.
She is growing a HUMAN BEING in her body. A HUMAN BEING!
Hey Donald, you may have earned another million dollars today, but Kim did that AND created a nervous system. Beat that, big guy!
I honestly believe that we have forgotten the miracle that childbirth is. Show me a woman who has tried unsuccessfully to conceive, and I'll show you a woman who would joyfully trade her flat stomach and narrow hips for the stretch marks, expanded rear end and growing belly that can accompany a pregnant body.
Pregnancy is an experience that affects a woman's body, mind and soul from the minute she decides to conceive. Most women, famous or not, feel tremendous pressure to live up to the bizarre and completely unrealistic ideals of our image and skinny obsessed society and it's keeping us from living our lives as fully and completely as we should be. No matter how happy or successful we may think we are in our personal and professional lives, if we're not wearing the "right" pant size, we're supposed to feel like total failures.
For so many years, there were people who said that women didn't belong in the work place and needed to be at home making babies, but now even making babies isn't good enough if we can't do it without keeping our girlish figures in the process!
I find it really hard to believe that there is nothing more important going on in the world than how fat Kim's ass looks in her designer maternity wear. What I'm asking is this: is it really an issue that Kim is comfortable showing off her growing, changing body or is the real issue that we're uncomfortable looking it?

Victoria Barba (NM Rush Nike '94 Girls) travelled to the inaugural Dallas International Girls Cup April 19th-25th with a combined U16 and U17 team from Colorado Rush. Playing "out of position" as an outside back and wing, Victoria performed extremely well. She and her teammates were crowned champions after a hard fought 3-2 victory over Eclipse Select. This is the 7th time in her Rush career that Victoria has guest played with Rush teams, and the third time she has helped the team to a championship.
When asked how this one compared, Victoria had this to say: "This one was special, because I'm used to playing more centrally, or up top and I was able to play out of my comfort zone, and I proved to myself that I could play any position. A lot of the other girls played in different positions than they were used to, and we were still able to win. It was a lot of fun."
Victoria would like to thank Erik Bushey and the team for making her feel welcome and providing yet another amazing experience for her. She's already looking forward to defending the title next year!

Iowa's Buena Vista county is a constellation of crossroads, where heritage sites and wind farms commingle with the meadowlands.

Pet-friendly, double-queen accommodations include splendid views of Storm Lake, wireless Internet, and complimentary turndown service. Indoor and outdoor water slides echo with laughter, beachside parks offer live music and grassy lounging, and rental JetSkis and kayaks quench the thirst of any thrill level.

Bank ups interest in Outlaws
We're banking on securing even more one-day success in 2005 after signing a major new sponsorship deal with Yorkshire Bank.
The company logo will appear on the front of our newly-designed green shirts in both the totesport League and Twenty20 Cup competitions.
Carl Dickinson, Yorkshire Bank's managing partner for Nottingham said: "Yorkshire Bank is proud to be the official sponsor of the Notts Outlaws.
"Just as the Twenty20 Cup and limited overs competitions have changed the perception of cricket, so we want to change the face of banking in the UK."
Nottinghamshire's acting chief executive Lisa Pursehouse said: "The Notts Outlaws and Yorkshire Bank are similar in many ways because having established a solid base in our respective fields, we are both now hungry for more success.
"For that reason it was only natural that a company with big expansion plans for the East Midlands would look to join forces with a highly successful sports team in the region.
"We are delighted they have chosen the Notts Outlaws and would like to welcome Yorkshire Bank as our new partner for 2005."

Right up there with Palm Springs, Scottsdale has long been a top vacation town of the West, a place where golf courses, spa treatments, and great weather rule the day. And while the city has seen an influx of trendy nightclubs and hip hotels in recent years, the boutique CopperWynd Resort and Club, tucked away in the McDowell Mountains, still affords peace-seekers a relaxing getaway in the Sonoran Desert.
Here, a collection of posh adobe structures overlooks a quiet canyon, with a full-service spa, two swimming pools, lighted tennis courts, a complete fitness center, and an excellent restaurant—the AAA Four Diamond-winning Alchemy at CopperWynd—setting the stage for romance and relaxation. And just a chip-shot away are a few of the best golf courses in the region. Spacious rooms feature balconies with panoramic views of the desert, gas fireplaces, and flat-screen TVs, and the extra-large bathrooms are appointed with a tub and shower as well as plush bathrobes.
"The grounds are well-kept and lush. The pools were clean and quiet. The rooms were nicely decorated. The bathroom was enormous. The balcony/patio had a beautiful view. We wished we could've stayed longer..."-- TripAdvisor
