The Destination
With a history spanning colonial times, the Civil War, and even World War II (nearby Fort Pickett was an important military training center), it's no wonder that present-day Blackstone, Virginia, claims a wealth of Americana. Think a horse-drawn carriage museum and a bustling Main Street with an impressive antiques and crafts mall. Visitors can't help but relax amid the pleasant trappings of small-town USA: neighborhoods lined with Victorian homes and the sounds of church bells and distant train whistles filling the air.
The Digs
The front porch swing at The Grey Swan Inn Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to take it all in. This quaint, 111-year old property features hardwood floors, a stately living room with a roaring fireplace, a wrap-around porch, and sunny, beautifully appointed guest rooms. Rise after a restful sleep to fresh-brewed coffee and a gourmet breakfast, then take advantage of the inn's ideal location to explore the sights, sounds, and activities of Blackstone and beyond.
"I have stayed at The Grey Swan Inn twice now. The hospitality is outstanding and the rooms are extremely well-appointed, comfortable, and charming. But the real reason you have to stay here is the phenomenal food."-- TripAdvisor

Alexandre Dumas's classic novel The Three Musketeers is getting a modern 3-D update on the big screen. The movie follows the legendary royal guards—Athos, Porthos and Aramis—as they try to stop an evil plan to overthrow the King of France. Joining them on this quest is young, hot-headed D'Artagnan (played by Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman), who aspires to be a Musketeer himself. Will the four heroes save the day?
Hollywood newcomer Gabriella Wilde plays Constance, the Queen's loyal best friend and D'Artagnan's crush. TFK spoke to the actress about the film. Read on to find out who her favorite Musketeer is, and the challenges of riding a horse in a dress.
How would you describe Constance's personality?
She's intelligent and innocent, but she's not naïve. She always has a plan, and she's very loyal to the queen.
There have been many versions of The Three Musketeers over the years. What makes this one different?
It'll be different in a lot of ways. This one has a bit of everything in it—action, romance, drama. They've casted an actor to play D'Artagnan who is actually the age of the D'Artagnan in the book. Logan is the right age to play D'Artagnan, unlike the actors who play the character in other Musketeer films. It's also in 3-D. So, it's definitely a new take on it.
Speaking of 3-D, are you ready to see yourself pop out from the screen?
No, I don't think so. I'm not even ready to see myself on the screen, let alone pop out of it!
What do you think it is about the Musketeers story that can be told over and over again?
It's an amazing story. It's a classic novel, and when you've got a story that's so brilliantly written, people aren't going to get bored of it.
There's a little romance between D'Artagnan and Constance. Why is Constance attracted to him?
She's intrigued by him because he's everything she isn't. She's never met or spoken to anyone like him before. She's a very inquisitive girl, so she's very excited by everything that he is.
With so much action going on, were there any mishaps on set?
Sadly, I didn't get to sword fight in the movie, but I'm sure the boys had some mishaps. Their fight scenes were very elaborate. I'd be surprised if they weren't a few.
Constance doesn't get to join in any of the action?
I do, just not with a sword! It was a lot of fun. I had some horse-riding training, and there were a lot of explosions and things like that. It's fun to play that side of her as well.
For the film, you got to wear some beautiful traditional dresses from that time period. How did you like being in such extravagant costumes?
It was very traditional and keeping with the time, so I wore proper boned corsets with the petticoats and everything. They were amazing, but very uncomfortable!
Did you have to ride horses in the dresses?
I did. I had two weeks training before we started filming so that I could learn to ride in the dresses and in the corsets. It was interesting. I already knew how to ride, so that bit was fine. But when you put the dress on, it adds a totally different dimension to it.
Constance would choose D'Artagnan, but who is your favorite Musketeer?
Athos. I think maybe you'll agree with me when you see the movie.

Who really is the main character?
I'm having a hard time deciding which character should be considered the main character (between Joel and Ellie of course). Some would argue Joel, for starters he is the one we play as, and it's his perspective we view the story from. He has a history from both worlds, something that may or may not be looked into. But then we have Ellie, the particularly interesting character who's knowledge of the real world is somewhat distorted. She is the main reason Joel and Ellie are embarking on this Journey and has some kind of importance hence the reason she is wanted by (No spoilers) those outside of the quarrantine zones.
Then there's the idea that the duo of characters should be considered as one, that they are one in the same and hold equal importance as the main role. That makes sense but only if you forget the fact they're both very different from one another.
According to common gaming lore the character you play as is the main character, as it's their perspective you view the world from. Therefore Joel is to be considered the main character.
If Ellie is considered to be the main character, would this mean The Last of Us is the first game to have an NPC as a main character? (To my knowledge at least).
Re: Who really is the main character?
Re: Who really is the main character?
All I know is I want a sequel that's a movie where Ellen page plays an older ellie.

Re: Who really is the main character?[ Edited ]
^ The shortest game in history.
IMO, the main character is Joel. Just like in Bio: I, Booker is the one who changes and molds her throughout his experiences and adventures with her. If he never arrived, what would of changed? Same situation with Ellie. Joel and Ellie will both have substantial roles in the game but, I still see Joel as the main character. That's just my take.
Again, I say this not beause Ellie is un-important or anything. She is. She is influential, interesting and all that. But, just like Elizabeth, with the main character they would continue to reside in their prisons (Quarantine/Tower). WIthout the main character's intervening, both girls would be stuck, never freed and not allowed to evolve and grow as characters/people. I hope I'm getting my point across as In just woke up 10 minutes ago.

First off I would like to say whats up to all the Big Blue faithful here. I am new to the message forums and I love what I see so far.
The reason I have decided to take my love for the Giants into this forum is to find a group of fans to tailgate with on Sunday. My friend and I are from Maryland just outside of DC but both have grown up living for the Giants. We are going to the game Sunday but have no one to tailgate and grub with. So anyone who doesnt mind a couple of MD boys tailgating with ya we can definitely bring some supplies so lemme know!!

Technical presentation advice
I've just been signed up to give a technical presentation at a local event for IT professionals. The presentation slot is 15minutes, subject is my experience with malware honeypots (specifically Nepenthes), I'm not too concerned about the subject material as it's fairly introductory and overview level, but this is my first presentation so I'm a bit nervous of the situation.
Can anyone offer advice to make the presentation go more smoothly and with less perspiration?
Thanks in advance

"Dancing with the Stars" co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet is staying positive and looking to the future after revealing that she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
"I need to have thyroid surgery and a thyroidectomy, which means I'm going to have a nice big scar right here across my neck," the 41-year-old said in a video posted on The ModernMom YouTube channel on Thursday.
PLAY IT NOW: Who Is Brooke Burke's New 'Dancing' Crush?
In July, Brooke told her fans that doctors had found a nodule on her thyroid, but has remained mum on the subject until now.
"I don't get to just walk around and pretend like nothing happened or not follow up or not share it, because it's going to be pretty much dead center. I don't want anybody to read about it and get the wrong idea, or think that I'm sick, because I'm not," she continued in the video. "I got my results back days later and they were atypical, which means that the doctors couldn't confirm whether the nodule was cancerous or benign, So I had to go and do a whole bunch of additional tests and get second opinions. Long story long, I got my results back and they were not good."

The mother of four is now looking ahead and says she will beat the cancer.
"I've booked my surgery," she said. "It's taken me a couple of months to really wrap my head around this... Now I'm good. I'm ready to deal with it, and I'm going to be fine. I feel really, really strong. Doctors say this is a 'good' kind of cancer to have... My doctor did tell me this is a happily ever after ending kind of thing."
After announcing the news, she took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the outpouring of support from her fans.

"I'm feeling the love today from friends, family, #DWTS, tweeties, fans. You warm my heart. I'm feeling good Thank you from down deep xoxo," she Tweeted on Thursday. "I was scared to get on twitter and hear what people are saying.....now I can breathe easy. Thank you for the support."

A friend and I were talking the other day of the subject of extracting for hobbyists. He lives in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan where beekeepers are far and few in between.
He has a novel idea of having their club by a small 6-12 frame extractor and placing it in a covered trailer along with all the other extracting needs. That way it could be moved from one club member to the next. I think it would be a great idea even for clubs or associations to solve the uncapping problem. Does anyone else use this practice? And what do you see as the pros and cons of this practice?

Office of the Secretary & Deputy Secretary
Functional Statements > Office of Elementary and Secondary Education
I. Office of Indian Education
The Office of Indian Education (OIE) administers the Indian Education Program of ESEA, as amended, (Title VII, Part A), which establishes policies and provides financial and technical assistance for supporting LEAs, Indian tribes and organizations, post- secondary institutions and other entities in meeting the special educational and cultural related academic needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, 20 U.S.C. 7401 et. seq. OIE is headed by a Director who reports to the Assistant Secretary and who advises the Assistant Secretary on matters related to the programs administered by OIE. The Indian Education Programs include:
- Formula grants to LEAs;
- Discretionary grant programs including:
- Professional development for teachers;
- Demonstration grants to improve the opportunities and achievement of Indian students; and
- National research activity grants.
OIE administers approximately 1,300 formula and discretionary grants each year. A White House appointed National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) provides advice and counsel on program policies and implementation strategies of the Indian Education Program.
The Director of OIE is responsible for establishing policies and for providing overall leadership. The Director is also responsible for the coordination of all activities in the Department that relate to Indian education and serves as the Designated Federal Official to the NACIE. The Director promotes cooperative efforts among various Federal departments on matters involving Indian education and establishes cooperative working relationships with the Department's Institute for Education Sciences (IES) for administration of the national research activity grants. The Office of the Director also develops policies, procedures, and regulations to support overall program management and operations, develops and coordinates national evaluation, technical assistance, and dissemination activities.
OIE staff are organized into two teams of program specialists. A Group Leader who is responsible for work assignments, quality assurance, and staff development heads each team.
Team 1 is responsible for approximately one-half of the formula grants and for the administration of the discretionary grant programs. Formula grant administration is assigned to individual program specialists on a geographic basis. This team also supports the program budgeting and contracting activities.
Team 2 is responsible for the remaining formula grants. Program specialists are assigned administration responsibilities on a geographic basis. Grant administration includes monitoring of technical reports, financial draws, and technical assistance. This team also supports the office's administrative and information dissemination activities and provides a liaison to the NACIE.
Since Indian Education Formula Grants are provided directly to LEAs without the direct involvement of State agencies, the program monitoring and evaluation for OIE grants involves a very large number of individual grants. A portion of OIE funding is also set-aside for schools administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). OIE facilitates the transfer of all funding from Department programs to BIA that is set-aside for administration by BIA. OIE also maintains close communication with BIA to ensure that policies and regulations governing transferred funds are consistent with legislative requirements and ED policies.
OIE works closely with IES to develop a long-term research agenda for improving Indian education. OIE and IES jointly administer the National Activities research funding to support innovative strategies for Indian education, development and analysis of empirical statistical data on Indian student achievement, technical assistance for grantees, and program monitoring of grants.
OIE also facilitates ED implementation of the American Indian and Alaskan Native Education Executive Order 13336. Executive Order 13336 (April 30, 2004) created a Working Group made up of all federal employees to oversee implementation of this Order. This Order suggests a consultation process to be utilized by the Working Group in the planning and implementation of policies and program strategies that may affect Indian students, Tribal governments, or Indian organizations. The Working Group will conduct a multi-year study of American Indian and Alaska Native education.

How do you make fondant and whats the best way to feed it?
How do you make fondant and whats the best way to feed it?
Mix 8oz water with 3# sugar. Heat to 240 degrees srirring constantly. DONT BURN THE MIXTURE!!! Once it starts to become cloudy and thick, pour it on a wax paper lined cookie sheet to cool. Cut into squares once it cools and lay them across the top of the frames.
Good luck,
Here are a couple of recipes from the November issue of "Bee Culture". All are basically the same. Use a candy thermometer and do not burn sugar. The first one is 15 pounds of granulated sugar, 3 pounds of corn syrup, 4 cups of water and one-half teaspoon cream of tartar. Mix ingridients in large pot, heat to 240 degrees stirring occaisionally. Immediately immerse pot in cold water in sink. Use small mixer and stir the molten candy mixture, measuring the temperature as it cools. At approximately 190 degrees the liquid mixture can be poured into forms or molds lined with wax paper. A 9x13 baking pan works well. The second is similiar 2 cups white sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1-1/2 cups boiling water. Combine ingredients and heat until sugar dissolves, keep heating until syrup reaches 238 degrees or medium ball stage. Pour onto a cold platter and beat until light, then into a mold or shallow dish and allow to cool and harden. You feed the bees by placing the cold hardened candy on the top of the frames being careful of the cluster, you may have to smoke heavily to clear a spot as the cluster may be at the top if you are feeding the hive in the spring.
[This message has been edited by NewBee (edited December 09, 2001).]
Thanks for the replies. I am sure the bee's will enjoy the fondant
Has anyone tried mixing pollen substitute with the molten sugar while making the Fondant? This may denature some of the proteins, but the amino acids should still be intact.
It seems like it would be an effective way to feed carbs + protein at the same time.
Anyone with any experience?
I talked with a member of a Beekeepers Association, which I am a member. He shared this information about making what he calls Bee Feed Candy.
1 qt. Honey
1 pt. Water
10 lbs. Granulated Sugar
Mix all ingredients, boil carefully to 300 degrees, pour into pan or frames (see preparing frames) For late winter-feeding. Can be fed under inner cover or in supper shell.
He prefers deep frames with horizontal wire. The wire helps to hold the feed in place for clustered bees to use. Waxed paper should be stapled around one side of frame. Staples should be at or near the top of frame that is on the workbench on itÂs side This gives you a Âframe pan to pour the feed into. After feed candy is set-up (cooled) an additional waxed paper may be stapled to topside. May be stored in deep super with cover to prevent moisture.
One frame may be inserted into hive body immediately on each side of the cluster. Depending upon the hive population each frame will feed a hive 5 or 6 days while clustered.
A question for jrhoade:
Did the person who gave you the recipe that you posted indicate how many frames the batch will make up? Thanks.

Police admit allowing unstable man to leave headquarters; man later killed his mother
Michael Lindgren headed to trial but both sides hint at a possible insanity defense
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Could cops have prevented a deadly beating this summer? During a hearing Tuesday, Bethlehem Police admitted they allowed an unstable man to walk out of police headquarters just minutes before he allegedly beat his elderly mother to death.
Michael Lindgren is accused of killing his mother, Shirley, 77, and severely beating his father. Ralph Lindgren, 78, survived but is still recovering, according to prosecutors.
Michael Lindgren faced a judge for his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon.
Officers testified the Lindgrens' home on Wall Street was a bloody mess the morning of August 22. Shirley Lindgren was beaten so badly her blood stains reached a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, prosecutors said.
A detective testified Tuesday that Ralph Lindgren identified his son as the attacker, but also admitted he did not remember the actual beating.
Outside, officers testified they found an agitated Michael Lindgren -- covered in blood -- yelling "Help me!" to officers. Before Lindgren was even questioned or given his Miranda rights, cops testified that he began incriminating himself.
"I had to do it," he allegedly told Officer Michael Karaboulias on the way to the hospital. "I'm completely insane ... They took everything from me."
But this wasn't officers' first encounter with Michael Lindgren.
Just minutes before the attack, Lindgren showed up at police headquarters, yelling and demanding help. Cops testified that a desk sergeant initially called for an ambulance to give Lindgren a mental evaluation. But then, they testified the sergeant cancelled the request and allowed Lindgren to walk away. One officer testified that Lindgren was not deemed to be a threat to himself or others.
Minutes later, police were called to Lindgren's parents' house after a burglar alarm went off.
Defense attorneys said Lindgren will soon undergo a mental evaluation. Prosecutors also said he has a "lengthy medical history," but wouldn't say if Lindgren was medicated at the time of the crime.
During his last court appearance, Lindgren appeared disoriented, even laughing at times.
WFMZ's Jaccii Farris asked him why.
"Because you've been after me a long time to do this, haven't you?" he responded.
"Who's been after you?" Farris asked.
"The whole town," Lindgren answered.
Prosecutors are also waiting for tests to come back on the blood found on Michael Lindgren.
None of Lindgren's relatives attended Tuesday's preliminary hearing. Judge Roy Manwaring ruled there is enough evidence to send Lindgren to trial, but both sides hinted that an insanity defense may be in the works.
Lindgren's next court appearance will be February 7, 2013.

That's My Kid: Mother, son co-exist on Shasta High sideline
REDDING, Calif. - It is a standard practice at so many football games. The players are on the sidelines, and the parents are in the stands. But things are a little different at Shasta High School, where a mother and son duo is trying to co-exist.
"On the sidelines, I'm not his mom. I'm just a photographer," said Gina Scrima.
The volunteer has been snapping up team photos since her son Drew, now a senior wide receiver for the Wolves, was a 7-year-old playing for the Redding Colts.
"We just started doing it just as a fun activity. It was something they wanted to get involved in," said Scrima. "Little did we know it was going to turn into a whole family event."
She is no ordinary parent up in the stands. Whether she is playing team doctor, or offering up pep talks, Scrima has been there.
"These kids have all gone on to high school playing together, that I've been like a second mom to them. They're my football family," Scrima said.
But when it comes to her son, there are no penalties for interference. To her, he is just 'number 8.'
With the season's end in sight, and Drew graduating this year, the Shasta football duo is looking toward what is next.
"When it's ready for him to go on I'll probably still continue taking pictures for the high school," said Scrima. "I love doing that. I love doing it for the kids."


text: I did my first cut-out on Wednesday the 20th in an old barn wall. I cut what little brood there was and rubber banded it in frames then gathered up as many bees as I could with a brush and cup not sure if I got the queen. I went back today and there was a swarm on the lower wall under the old hive so I caught it and put them in an extra bait hive I left! The original hive I used still has bees which are very active and actually fixing the comb and maintains the brood! I haven't found a queen in either hive. The swarm was very calm and hasn't moved much at all if any in the bait hive. Do I have queens or is there something else going on? Please help

What is the diameter of the World Wide Web? The answer is not 7,927 miles, even though the Web truly is World Wide. According to Albert-László Barabási, Reka Albert and Hawoong Jeong of Notre Dame University, the diameter of the Web is 19.
The diameter in question is not a geometric distance; the concept comes from the branch of mathematics called graph theory. On the Web, you get from place to place by clicking on hypertext links, and so it makes sense to define distance by counting your steps through such links. The question is: If you select two Web pages at random, how many links will separate them, on average? Among the 800 million pages on the Web, there's room to wander down some very long paths, but Barabási et al. find that if you know where you're going, you can get just about anywhere in 19 clicks of the mouse.
Barabási's calculation reflects an interesting shift in the style and the technology of graph theory. Just a few years ago it would have been unusual to apply graph-theoretical methods to such an enormous structure as the World Wide Web. Of course just a few years ago the Web didn't exist. Now, very large netlike objects seem to be everywhere, and many of them invite graph-theoretical analysis. Perhaps it is time to speak not only of graph theory but also of graph practice, or even graph engineering.
The graphs studied by graph theorists have nothing to do with the wiggly-line charts that plot stock prices. Here is a definition of a graph, in all its glory of abstraction: A graph is a pair of sets, V and E, where every element of E is a two-member set whose members are elements of V. For example, this is a graph: V = {a, b, c}, E = {{a, b}, {a, c}}.
So much for definitions; most of us prefer to think of our graphs graphically. And in fact everyone knows that what graph theory is really about is connecting the dots. The set V is made up of vertices (also known as nodes), which are drawn as dots. The set E consists of edges (also called arcs, links or bonds), and each edge is drawn as a line joining the two vertices at its end points. Thus the graph defined abstractly above looks like this:
Most of the time, a picture is worth at least a thousand sets, and yet there are reasons for retaining the more formal definition. When you look at a graph drawing, it's hard not to focus on the arrangement of the dots and lines, but in graph theory all that matters is the pattern of connections: the topology, not the geometry. These three diagrams all depict the same graph:
Each of the graphs sketched above is in one piece, but not all the vertices in a graph have to be joined by edges; disconnected components can be parts of a single graph. "Multigraphs" are allowed to have multiple edges connecting the same pair of vertices. And some graphs have self-loops: edges whose two ends are both attached to the same vertex. Another variation is the directed graph, where each edge can be traversed in only one direction.
Graph theory got its start in the 18th century, when the great Swiss-born mathematician Leonhard Euler solved the puzzle of the Königsberg bridges. At the time, Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) had seven bridges spanning branches of the Pregel River. The puzzle asked whether a walk through the city could cross each bridge exactly once. The problem can be encoded in a graph (actually a multigraph) by representing the land areas as vertices and the bridges as edges:
Euler showed that you can answer the question by tabulating the degree, or valency, of each vertex—the number of edges meeting there. If a graph has no more than two odd vertices, then some path traverses each edge once. In the Königsberg graph all four vertices are odd.
The techniques of graph theory soon proved useful for more than planning a stroll along the Pregel. The German physicist Gustav Kirchoff analyzed electric circuits in terms of graphs, with wires as edges and junction points as vertices. Chemists found a natural correspondence between graphs and the structural diagrams of molecules: An atom is a vertex, and an edge is a bond between atoms. Graphs also describe communications and transportation networks, and even the neural networks of the brain. Other applications are less obvious. For example, a chess tournament is a graph: The players are nodes, and matches are edges. An economy is also a graph: Companies or industries are nodes, and edges represent transactions.
In the 20th century graph theory has become more statistical and algorithmic. One rich source of ideas has been the study of random graphs, which are typically formed by starting with isolated vertices and adding edges one at a time. The master of this field was the late Paul Erdos. With his colleague Alfred Rényi, Erdos made the central finding that a "giant component"—a connected piece of the graph spanning most of the vertices—emerges suddenly when the number of edges exceeds half the number of vertices.
The recent work on the World Wide Web and other very large graphs is also statistical and algorithmic in nature, and it has close ties to the Erdos-Rényi theory of random graphs. But there is a new twist. Many of these huge graphs are not deliberate constructions but natural artifacts that have grown through some accretionary or evolutionary process. The Web, in particular, is an object no one designed. On close examination, the structure of such graphs seems neither entirely random nor entirely regular. Understanding the balance of order and chaos in these graphs is one of the aims of the current undertakings. A more basic goal is simply finding computational techniques that will not choke on a graph with 108 nodes.
A good example of a really big graph comes from telephone billing records. Joan Feigenbaum of the AT&T Shannon Laboratories in Floral Park, New Jersey, heads a group working with a graph known as the call graph. The vertices are telephone numbers, and the edges are calls made from one number to another. A specific call graph recently analyzed by James M. Abello, P. M. Pardalos and M. G. C. Resende of AT&T has 53,767,087 vertices and more than 170 million edges.
The call graph is actually a directed multigraph—directed because the two ends of a call can be distinguished as originator and receiver, a multigraph because a pair of telephones can exchange more than one call in a day. For ease of analysis, these aspects of the graph are sometimes ignored: Sets of multiple edges are collapsed into a single edge, and the graph is treated as if it were undirected. (The graph also has some 255 self-loops, which I find rather puzzling. I seldom call myself, and it's never long-distance.)
The first challenge in studying the call graph is that you can't swallow it whole. Even though the analysis was done on a computer with six gigabytes of main memory, the full graph would not fit. Under these conditions most algorithms are ruinously inefficient, because pieces of the graph have to be repeatedly shuttled between memory and disk storage. The call graph has therefore become a test-bed for algorithms designed to run quickly on data held in external storage.
What did Abello, Pardalos and Resende learn about the call graph? It is not a connected graph but has 3.7 million separate components, most of them tiny; three-fourths of the components are pairs of telephones that called only each other. Yet the call graph also has one giant connected component, with 44,989,297 vertices, or more than 80 percent of the total. The emergence of a giant component is characteristic of Erdos-Rényi random graphs, but the pattern of connections in the call graph is surely not random. Some models that might describe it will be taken up in Part II of this article, to appear in the March–April issue.
Abello and his colleagues went hunting within the call graph for structures called cliques, or complete graphs. They are graphs in which every vertex is joined by an edge to every other vertex. Identifying the largest such structure—the maxclique—is computationally difficult even in a graph of moderate size. In the call graph, the only feasible strategy is a probabilistic search that finds large cliques without proving them maximal. Abello et al. found cliques of size 30, which are almost surely the largest. Remarkably, there are more than 14,000 of these 30-member cliques. Each clique represents a distinct group of 30 individuals in which everyone talked with everyone else at least once in the course of a day.
Some of the most interesting large graphs are those in which we are the vertices. These "social graphs" are associated with the phrase "six degrees of separation," popularized by a 1990 play of that title and a later film, both written by John Guare. The idea is that the acquaintanceship graph connecting the entire human population has a diameter of six or less. Guare attributes this notion to Guglielmo Marconi, who supposedly said that wireless telegraphy would so contract the world that any two people could be connected by a chain of 5.83 intermediaries. Did Marconi really make such a statement? I have been unable to find any evidence. (And the two decimal places of precision do nothing to increase my faith in the number's authenticity).
Even if Marconi did have ideas about the acquaintanceship graph, they were unknown to those who later took up the subject. In the 1950s and 60s Anatol Rapoport based a theory of social networks on the idea of random graphs. He showed that any bias in the random placement of edges tends to reduce the overall connectivity of the graph and increases its diameter. Thus social structures that bring people together in clusters have the side effect of pushing the clusters farther apart. On the basis of this mathematical result, the sociologist M. S. Granovetter argued that what holds a society together are not the strong ties within clusters but the weak ones between people who span two or more communities.
Also in the 1950s, Ithiel de Sola Pool and Manfred Kochen tried to estimate the average degree of the vertices in the acquaintanceship graph and guessed that the order of magnitude is 1,000. This high density of interpersonal contacts led them to conjecture that anyone in the U.S. "can presumably be linked to another person chosen at random by two or three intermediaries on the average, and almost with certainty by four."
This "small-world hypothesis" was put to the test a decade later in a famous experiment by Stanley Milgram. Packets addressed to an individual in the Boston area were given to volunteers in Nebraska and Kansas. Each volunteer was directed to pass the packet along to any personal acquaintance who might get it closer to its intended recipient. Instructions within the packet asked each person who received it to follow the same procedure. For the packets that made it all the way to their destination, the mean number of intermediary nodes was 5.5.
Milgram's experiment was ingenious, and yet it did not quite establish that everyone on the planet is within six handshakes of everyone else. In the first place, the reported path length of 5.5 nodes was an average, not a maximum. (The range was from 3 to 10.) Two-thirds of the packets were never delivered at all. Furthermore, although Nebraska and Kansas may seem like the ends of the earth from Massachusetts, the global acquaintanceship graph probably has a few backwaters even more remote. And if Milgram's result is not an upper bound on the diameter of the graph, neither is it a lower one: There is no reason to believe that all the participants in the study found the shortest possible route.
Certain subgraphs of the acquaintanceship graph have been explored more thoroughly. The prototype is the "collaboration graph" centered on Paul Erdos, who was the most prolific mathematician ever (Euler was second). In this graph distance from Erdos's node is termed the Erdos number. Erdos himself has an Erdos number of 0. All those who co-authored a paper with him have Erdos number 1. Those who did not write a joint paper with Erdos but who are co-authors of a co-author have Erdos number 2, and so on. The graph built up in this way, by adding concentric layers of co-authors, can be viewed as a component of a larger graph with a node for every contributor to the literature of science. Although the graph as a whole cannot be connected—if only because of "soloists" who never collaborate with anyone—the connected component centered on Erdos is thought to encompass almost all active scientists and to have a small diameter.
Another collaboration graph has movie actors instead of scientists at the vertices, with the central role given to Kevin Bacon. Because feature films are a smaller universe than scientific publications, the structure of this "Hollywood graph" can been determined in greater detail. If the records of the Internet Movie Database can be taken as complete and definitive, then the Hollywood graph has 355,848 vertices, representing actors who have appeared in 170,479 films.
Brett C. Tjaden and Glenn Wasson of the University of Virginia maintain a Web site (The Oracle of Bacon) that tabulates Bacon numbers. Because the entire graph is known, there is no need to speculate about whether or not it is connected or what its diameter might be. The questions can be answered directly. The Hollywood graph includes exactly one person with Bacon number 0 (that one's easy to guess); there are 1,433 with Bacon number 1; another 96,828 have Bacon number 2, and 208,692 occupy nodes at Bacon number 3. But because the number of actors is finite, the rings around Bacon cannot continue expanding. At Bacon number 4 there are 46,019 actors, then 2,556 at distance 5, and 252 at Bacon number 6. Finally there are just 65 actors who require seven intermediaries to be connected to Kevin Bacon, and two exceptionally obscure individuals whose Bacon number is 8. (Finding any actor in tiers 7 or 8 will earn you a place in the Oracle's hall of fame.)
A new attempt to construct a major piece of the global acquaintanceship graph is now under way at a Web site called sixdegrees.com, founded by Andrew Weinreich. Here you are invited to fill out a form listing the e-mail addresses of your friends, who will be invited to create database entries of their own. Thus, you should be able to explore the social graph as seen from your own position in it—everyone gets a chance to be Kevin Bacon or Paul Erdos. When I last checked, sixdegrees.com had 2,846,129 members. Statistics on the structure of the evolving graph have not been published, but a review by Janelle Brown in Salon magazine offers some clues. Brown reports: "I, for example, have fourteen contacts in my inner circle, 169 in my second degree, 825 in my third, 3,279 in my fourth, 10,367 in my fifth and 26,075 in my sixth." The fact that these numbers continue increasing and have not begun to approach the total size of the graph suggests that a giant connected component has not yet emerged at sixdegrees.com.
As an object of study for graph theorists, the World Wide Web has the advantage that it comes already encoded for computer analysis. The vertices and edges do not have to be catalogued; any computer attached to the Internet can navigate through the graph just by following links from node to node. Like the AT&T call graph, the Web is a directed multigraph with self-loops, but many analyses ignore these complications and treat the Web as if it were a simple undirected graph.
To estimate the diameter of the Web, Barabási and his colleagues at Notre Dame did not visit every node and traverse every link; they studied a small corner of the Web and extrapolated to the rest of the graph. The Barabási group used a software "robot" to follow all the links on a starting page, then all the links on each page reached from that page, and so on. This is the same technique employed by search engines to index the Web, but search engines are never exhaustive; they are tuned to catalogue documents of interest to people, not to measure the connectivity of a graph.
Initially, the Notre Dame robot looked only at the nd.edu Internet domain and gathered information on 325,729 documents and 1,469,680 links (about 0.3 percent of the Web). The key step in the analysis of these data was to calculate the probability that a page has a given number of inward and outward links. Barabási and his colleagues found that both probabilities obey a power law. Specifically, the probability that a page has k outward links is proportional to k–2.45, and the probability of k inward links is given by k–2.1. The power law implies that pages with just a few links are the most numerous, but the probability of larger numbers of links falls off gradually enough that pages with several hundred or several thousand links are to be expected.
Although nodes of very high degree are rare, they have an important effect on the connectivity of the Web. Such nodes shrink the graph by providing shortcuts between otherwise distant vertices. For the nd.edu domain, Barabási et al. measured an average diameter of 11.2 edges; the power-law model predicted 11.6. Extrapolating to the Web as a whole yielded a diameter of about 19 links.
The diameter of the graph is an important statistic when you are trying to find something on the Web. A blind, random search would typically have to examine half the 800 million documents before stumbling on the right one. But the Notre Dame result suggests that from any reasonable starting point, there should be a path to the target page crossing only about 19 links. Barabási et al. remark: "The relatively small value of [the diameter] indicates that an intelligent agent, who can interpret the links and follow only the relevant one, can find the desired information quickly by navigating the web." (But finding the relevant link is not always easy! When I tried searching for paths between randomly chosen pages, I came away doubting that I qualify as an intelligent agent.)
Rare nodes of high degree also play a role in other graph-theoretical analyses of the Web. One group doing such work calls itself the Clever project. The vertices in the Clever collaboration graph include Jon Kleinberg of Cornell University and Prabhakar Raghavan and Sridhar Rajagopalan of the IBM Almaden Research Center. The Clever group draws attention to two special kinds of nodes in the Web. "Hubs" are nodes of high out-degree—pages that point to many other pages. "Authorities" have high in-degree—they are pointed to by many other pages, and especially by hubs. Typical hubs are lists of personal bookmarks or pages from directory services such as Yahoo. An authority is a Web page that many people find interesting enough to create a link to it.
The Clever algorithm defines hubs and authorities by an iterative feedback process. An initial scan of the Web identifies pages of high out-degree and high in-degree, which form the initial sets of candidate hubs and authorities. Then these sets are refined by a recursive procedure that discards a hub candidate unless many of its outward links point to pages that are members of the authority set; likewise authorities are weeded out unless they are pointed to by many of the hubs. Repeated application of this algorithm narrows the focus to those hubs and authorities that are most densely connected to one another.
In one project, members of the Clever group have employed links between hubs and authorities to identify more than 100,000 "emerging communities"—collections of Web sites that share some common theme. For example, the survey found pages associated with Australian fire brigades and with Turkish student organizations in the U.S. Remarkably, the communities were identified by a method that did not rely in any way on the content of the Web pages; the algorithm looked only at the pattern of connectivity.
Similar principles are at work in a Web search engine called Google, developed by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page of Stanford University. Google employs a conventional text-based scan to create an index of the Web's content, but the pages recommended in response to a query are ranked according to information from the link analysis. A page is rated highly if many pages point to it, and if many other pages point to those pages, and so on.
Measuring properties of a graph such as the diameter or the distribution of vertex degrees is a first step toward understanding its structure. The next step is to develop a mathematical model of the structure, which typically takes the form of an algorithm for generating graphs with the same statistical properties. Such models of very large graphs will be the subject of Part II of this article.

Oh, what a tangled web they weave. When male chauvinist pigs (a once flourishing, now supposedly extinct species) practiced to deceive, unless they were very, very good at it, mayhem frequently ensued. Such results could be knee-slappingly funny, as is being demonstrated in Boeing-Boeing, by Marc Camoletti, at Trinity Repertory Company through May 13.
This is a French farce and as such earns extra bona fides from the likes of Feydeau and Molière as slammed-door precursors. Despite standing among such farcical royalty, Camoletti managed a remarkable coup: since its premiere in 1962, this has become the most frequently performed French play in the world.
At Trinity it gets bonus laff riot incitement from being directed by company veteran actor Fred Sullivan, Jr., who never settles for coaxing out a laugh when he can trigger a guffaw. On Patrick Lynch's sleek bachelor pad set, there are eight doors but no visible trampolines, yet Sullivan creates that impression. In this hectic story, characters don't merely trade words but exchange them in fusillades; they don't stand around when they can jump about and don't cross the stage when they can bound.
Bernard, a well-heeled American architect (in the American version) living in Paris, is quite the bounder, as played with oily assurance and eventually wide-eyed panic by Joe Wilson, Jr. With the aid of a dictionary-thick volume containing airline schedules, he has been successfully juggling assignations with three airline stewardess "fiancées." As a Frank Sinatra-inspired portrait in "ring-a-ding-ding" mode indicates, this is the 1960s, when men were men and women were compliant playthings, at their guy's beck and booty call. National Airlines actually had a "Fly Me" ad campaign ("I'm Maggie. Fly me to Europe"). No kidding.
Bernard has determined that three women are the right number to juggle. Gloria (Rebecca Gibel) is an aggressive American, with TWA. Gabriella (Liz Morgan) is an animated brunette with Alitalia. Gretchen (Amanda Dolan), the Lufthansa stewardess, is the most hot-blooded — an American playwright would probably have her be the Italian, but the French have their own ethnic stereotypes.
Two other characters are following the shenanigans with opposite responses. Bernard's overworked maid, Bertha (Nance Williamson), grows increasingly exasperated as she has to keep track of and replace such items as framed photographs and favorite flowers as the women come and go. An old college chum, Robert (Stephen Thorne), has just moved to Paris and is invited by his friend to stay in his apartment until he finds a place. Poor Robert, an insecure Midwesterner usually shy around women, grows increasingly horny as he gets acquainted with the lubricious lovelies, to additional comical effect.
The playwright has great fun exaggerating, especially when targeting American ways. Gibel's blond hottie Gloria, who calls Bernard "lava lips," likes ketchup on her pancakes and whipped cream on her franks and kraut. Robert, when asked if he's engaged, replies: "No, not yet. I'm from Wisconsin." (There is a "girl" he's thinking about marrying, but he's not sure where she lives.)

Some of our Lancaster County Council members kicked the new proposed B3 zoning plan under the table, even lifted the B3 moratorium before it expired, then fired the head of the county planning department. If the plan would have been approved, we would only have gas stations located on corners instead of everywhere and anywhere.
Now, we may have five gas stations within one mile. The latest, Quick Mart, if all the hurdles are cleared, would be built on the location where Young's Nursery sits.
As I was looking at the Sept. 21 edition of The Lancaster News, a sentence in Joanna Angle's "Tree Talk" article on the black gum jumped out at me: "A member of the dogwood family, nyssa sylvatica is also commonly called black tupelo...."
While it is true that nyssa sylvatica or black gum is also called black tupelo; it is not in the dogwood family, but in the nyssaceae, or tupelo family.
Trees in the family cornaceae compose the dogwood family, which contains our common local dogwood, flowering dogwood or cornus florida.
I guess I am at the age when folks read the obits. In the Washington papers, there are usually photos of men and women who served in the military services during World War II.
It is especially interesting to note significant excerpts from their heroics, which as a child I followed on newspaper maps pinned to the back of our kitchen door.
Rarely do these survivors of World War II comment on their participation, especially that stuff from which heroes are made.
The Lancaster News should check facts before printing (columns). The guest column by Shannon Catoe, "New law compromises health care for everyone," in the Sept. 19 edition of The Lancaster News was full of inaccuracies and incomplete statements.
Don't use the excuse that it is on the opinion page. It is not listed as a letter to the editor, it is listed as a guest column.
Here are a few of the inaccuracies or misinformation:
1. 1.40 percent tax of high-benefit plans (this means you teachers)
I must respond to the letter written by Vicki Campbell, "Religious beliefs have no place in political views," in the Sept. 19 edition of The Lancaster News.
Ms. Campbell, I beg to differ with your premise, but my purpose with this response is not to argue whether God and his people should just shut up when the government decides that killing children is OK.
My purpose of this letter goes far beyond the foolish argument that Christians need to keep their moral beliefs separate from how our nation is governed.
In response to Vicki Campbell's letter, "Religious beliefs have no place in political views," in the Sept. 19 edition of The Lancaster News, I will let the word (Bible) speak for me.
Jeremiah 1:5 – "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as prophet to the nations."
Psalm 139:13 – "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
I am a Lancaster resident and I want to point out a few facts about the two candidates running for the District 3 City Council seat – Jackie Harris and Linda Blackmon-Brace.
The question of where Blackmon-Brace lives – Rose Lane or Arch Street – has been addressed in stories in this newspaper. There is no question where Harris lives. She lives on Springs Street. Harris is trustful.
Congratulations to city residents living in District 3. It was a pleasure to hear that Jackie Harris has decided to run for a City Council seat. She has the skills and talent to be an effective community leader.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Jackie Harris for almost 20 years. Initially as a co-worker at the Lancaster Children's Home, she's continued to be a close friend. Whether we're discussing a child's case or a Sunday school lesson, the compassion and support are there.
Remember last spring when the four Lancaster County athletic booster clubs came together for a fundraiser to benefit all four county schools?
The event, billed as the Four Star Raffle, was a success off the bat, raising money for the four schools' athletic programs.
During the night, one of the Buford High School auction items was a chance to be an honorary BHS football coach during a Jackets' home game.

Deep-Space Orion Capsule Cracks Under Pressure

Orion capsule
(Source: space.com)
The good news is that the hardware can be fixed without having to be remanufactured
According to NASA, the
deep-space Orion
crew capsule underwent pressure testing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida the week of November 5. After the testing, which subjected the capsule to more stress than it is expected to experience during its scheduled use, NASA found a few cracks.
The cracks were located in three adjacent radial ribs of the aluminum bulkhead. It occurred at a pressure of 149 kilopascals. To pass the test, the Orion would have had to reach 164 kilopascals without cracking.
The good news is that the hardware can be fixed without having to be remanufactured. However, NASA wants to figure out exactly why this happened, so it will use an electron microscope to scan the damage.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the maker of the Orion, and will perform the testing necessary to investigate what happened. It took about one year to build the space capsule.
The Orion was set to launch in 2014 in a flight called Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), where an unmanned Orion will launch into orbit and reenter the atmosphere at 32,000 kilometers per hour. It's unclear whether this flight will now be delayed due to the damage.
The Orion capsule will eventually take astronauts into deep space to locations like asteroids and Mars. It will be the most advanced spacecraft ever, with the ability to provide safe re-entry from deep space, a way to sustain astronauts in space, and an emergency abort option. The Orion spacecraft was first
unveiled by Lockheed Martin
in early 2011.
Just this past July, NASA
brought the Orion capsule to the Kennedy Space Center
to begin testing.
If all goes well with EFT-1, the Orion capsule will take astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit via the new
Space Launch System (SLS)
which is NASA's latest heavy lift vehicle that will also be used as the backup for international and commercial partner transportation to the International Space Station (ISS).
The Orion capsule is set to launch atop the SLS in 2017. The Orion is set to be the main mode of deep space transportation for about 30 years.

Volunteers at Crosslake's Community Clothes Closet recognized
The PAL Foundation of Crosslake recently recognized the volunteers at the Crosslake Clothes Closet for their service to the community .
In total, these volunteers have given more than 100 years of service to the community.
The Clothes Closet began in January 1996, when a group of women from area churches worked together to open the closet in the basement of the former city hall. The Clothes Closet was the brainchild of Joyce Smyth and "Dodo" Fraser. These two started the used clothes service with the help of six community churches: The Log Church, Crosslake Lutheran, Mission of the Cross Lutheran, Faith Lutheran, Immaculate Heart Catholic Church and Crosslake Presbyterian.
The Clothes Closet has been provided donated space throughout its history. Initially, the closet was in the basement of the former city hall. Then it used the basement of the Lakes State Bank building for 13 years and now has been provided space in Dan and Judy Knobbe's building on Ox Landing Road.
Since the clothes are given away, there is no income and the Clothes Closet can operate only through donated space and volunteer work.
The Clothes Closet is staffed by a group of volunteers who have worked together for a long time, some even from the beginning 16 years ago. They serve with good spirits and a happy heart and have formed strong friendships over this long time.
Volunteers Marge Wiessner, Cindy Bourassa, Patty Bourassa, Doris Mezzenga, Jan and Gene Darnell, Darlene Camacho, Darlene Roach, Julle Middlestadt, Vivian Kinnan, Ruth Hoag, Arlyn Carlson, "Bebop" DeTunque, Dannette Raph, "Dodo" and Leo Fraser work together to distribute used clothes to those in need.
The Clothes Closet is open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and the first and third Thursdays of the month from 5-8 p.m.
Donations of clothing, shoes and household goods are given to families of the area.

Angels knock around Harrison early, beat Rangers
ARLINGTON - Matt Harrison found trouble early instead of late in his second start of the season. The result was the same - a loss.
Harrison allowed two-run homers to Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo in the first inning, Pujols went deep again in his only other plate appearance that wasn't an intentional walk, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Rangers 8-4 on Saturday despite another rough day for Josh Hamilton in his return to Texas.
"The biggest thing was that first inning," said Harrison, who lost to Houston on opening night and has an 8.44 ERA after allowing eight hits and five runs in five innings against the Angels. "The balls I left up in the zone were hit hard, and it just led to a four-spot in that first and put us in a big hole."
Harrison (0-2) settled down with three scoreless innings after six of the first nine Los Angeles batters reached base to build a 5-0 lead. It was the opposite of his first start against Houston, when he retired the first nine hitters before giving up two runs each in the fourth, fifth and sixth.
"He's had a couple of starts that probably are not characteristic of Harry," said teammate Mitch Moreland, who ended an 0-for-13 start to the season with a long home run. "But he's a great pitcher. He's one of our main guys. We're going to count on him every time he toes it up."
Exactly a month earlier than he hit his first homer in his debut season for the Angels last year, Pujols drove a two-run shot to the lawn in center field and watched Hamilton strike out twice behind him after taking two of three intentional walks.
The next - and last - time the Rangers let him swing, Pujols homered off reliever Jason Frasor in the sixth.
"I think it was a smart move," said Hamilton, who is 1 for 20 with 10 strikeouts after signing a $125 million, five-year contract. "Albert was dominating today, obviously. If I was in their situation, I would have done the same thing."
Moreland and Ian Kinsler hit third-inning home runs against Tommy Hanson (1-0), who gave up three runs and six hits over six innings in his Angels debut after arriving in an offseason trade with Atlanta.
The boos were loud again for Hamilton, who said before the game that his wife had to call over security during Friday's home opener for Texas because fans were shouting insults and obscenities at their family. There were no major incidents, and Hamilton said his family planned to return for the remaining two games.
Hamilton, a five-time All-Star with the Rangers who went 0 for 4 in his return Friday, walked in the first inning ahead of Trumbo's opposite-field home run to right.
First base was open the next two times Pujols came up, so Rangers manager Ron Washington chose to pitch to his former slugger. Hamilton struck out both times on breaking pitches in the dirt. He flied out to left in the sixth and again in the eighth after another intentional walk to Pujols.
"Hamilton is not swinging the bat well, we had some left-handers out there and we just went for the matchup each time," Washington said. "Each time we didn't walk (Pujols), you seen what happened."
In his return to Texas, Hamilton is 0 for 8 with a walk and four strikeouts, and isn't hitting the ball very hard when he does make contact.
"If I was somewhere else, the same thing would be going on. It'll get better," Hamilton said.
Pujols, also playing under the weight of a huge new contract at this time a year ago, didn't hit his first homer of 2012 until May 6 at Toronto. Odds were pretty good he would go deep at Rangers Ballpark, where he has four multihomer games in his past 15, including a three-homer outburst in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series with St. Louis.
After a slow start last year, Pujols knows what Hamilton is going through.
"We're only five games into the season. Let the guy settle down," Pujols said. "Let's see where we are a month from now. You guys said that last year about me and I proved a lot of people wrong."
Moreland was the first batter to reach against Hanson when he hit a 435-foot home run halfway up the upper deck in right field in the third inning. Kinsler followed two batters later with a homer to left.
"I was just trying not to jump up and down running around the bases because I finally got a hit," said Moreland, who went hitless with two strikeouts in his other three at-bats. "It's definitely not the start you want. But man, we've got a long ways to go."
Nelson Cruz homered inside the left-field foul pole in the ninth off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri, who was pitching because he hadn't appeared since getting the save on opening day Monday in Cincinnati.

I've written frequently about vendor lock-in and how to avoid it, but Matt Asay suggests that lock-in might be the least of a CIO's worries. No one wants to get stuck being price gauged by a mega-vendor, but the truth is being locked into something that works is better than freely using something doesn't.
Earlier this week, VMware's Matthew Lodge wrote: "Openness is not about how you write software, it's about what you allow your customers to be able to do." Asay quotes Red Hat's Gordon Haff:
The key is that phrase "you *allow* your customers to do." IOW the vendor, in this case VMware, calls the shots.
I agree with Haff, but Asay has a point in saying this is an ineffective strategy. He cites Red Hat's past marketing efforts as an example: "Red Hat for years has emphasized value, not fluffy intangibles in its field marketing. Yes, the company will talk about vendor lock-in for its high-level marketing messages, but the salespeople walking in to talk with a CIO? They're talking about performance-to-cost ratios over competitors like IBM and HP."
Actually, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst told me in an interview recently that the company doesn't even focus that much on cost. Whitehurst said that when the Red Hat team went back and asked customers why they chose RHEL, customers almost always emphasized performance and flexibility – not cost.
As we start to look at the next round of debate – VMware vs. OpenStack, Heroku vs. Cloud Foundry, etc. – advocates of open source software and open standards would do well to keep in mind the real value of software: performance, agility, stability, and so on.

...is a freakin Corvette. we went to "look" at some of em last night and drove one away by the time it was all said and done. it's black with a two-tonw black and creme interior. coupe, Z51 pkg., bose premium sound, heads-up display, nav screen, XM satellite radio, push-button start, chrome wheels, paddles, smoke top is on order, xenon headlights... basically fully loaded. the sticker was $56,7XX and we drove it off the lot with an extended warranty and lojack w/ no trade-in by writing a $56,9XX check... about $10K less than we woulda been able to get the Cayman S or 550i for. and yes, i've already driven it, he tossed me the keys (wait, nvm, keyfob, no keys) and let me take a 30-minute joy ride by myself at 11:30 at night... i'm sorry but if it was me i would never let my 17 y/o son touch my 2-hour-old corvette. before i left he told me not to go any faster than i could get up to on the on-ramp to the freeway... well there's an S-curve right before the on-ramp which i did at 30mph, floored it, got thrown back in the seat, and was doing 117mph before i got onto the freeway. all i have to say is "wow". also since he got a new car, that means i get a new car (or truck, w.e), i get his old f-150 to replace mine. i had a '01 F-150 EXT Cab Sport with a stick, my new one is a '02 F-150 Lariat Super Crew with 20" rims, run-flat tires, billet grille, chrome side bars, spray-on bedliner, A.R.E bedcover, and the 5.4L Triton V8. oh yeah, yesterday was a good day for me.
good deal man! there are worse cars than a vette for your dad to have gotten. what stopped him from a z06? i'm going to guess price. congrats on your new truck as well.
That's cool Tex...congrats man!
mabe because the Z06 doesnt go under 100K. i worked at landmark. they probably went to bill heard. thats the sister dealership.
well the $30K dealer mark-up played a big role since his limit was $60K, also its a daily driver and the Z06 woulda been too stiff and stripped down.
hey man, you got a great deal. those go for about 80K at landmark. if you look at the dealer markup it says right there "custom pin stripes" when it doesnt have any
we actually bought it from westside. bill heard didnt have any that he really liked and landmark only had 2 vettes in stock when we called them. bill heard had 6 or 7 plus 2 Z06's. the place we got this one at had 3 and the one he bought was the exact option package he wanted but had his second choice of exterior color instead of his first, he wanted lemans blue, but black is still dead sexy.
dude, landmark has over 20 vettes and had 4 zo6s in order for this month. a red, a black, a blue, and a yellow. i know.
well either they were used or the guy we talked to didnt have a clue what was going on... either that or they only had 2 that were coupes with Z51 pkg's and thats what my dad meant by "they only had 2"...
Quote:well the $30K dealer mark-up played a big role since his limit was $60K, also its a daily driver and the Z06 woulda been too stiff and stripped down.
they had more like 6 i would say. at least they did when i was there.
Congratulations! That is awesome man. Pics...must see pics.
as soon as my computer gets internet back up i'll upload pics of the new vette, my 2 trucks, the new odyssey, and some from my mission trip to mexico. but i dont know how long thats gonna take.
...but why oh WHY is it an automatic??? Great color though!

Kauai's Prince Course at Princeville Golf Club gives you Hawaii's royal treatment.
Celebrating the Aloha spirit, icy triangles of pineapple refresh golfers playing the Prince Course at Princeville Golf Club. Sitting high above the Pacific Ocean on Kauai's North Shore and book-ended by craggy mountains plunging into the sea, like a "wild child the Prince careens up and down lush, green hillsides, vaulting over ravines, streams and jungle." Wild chickens skitter under hibiscus bushes while the sweet scent of Plumeria blossoms seduces.
As the setting for many Hollywood films like "Jurassic Park," "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "South Pacific," Kauai is a fitting canvas for the Prince, which opened its first nine in 1987, and then the second in 1990. "The Prince is the perfect example of how Mother Nature and great golf can coexist so beautifully," said designer Robert Trent Jones Jr.
In March 2012, Jones completed a 13-month, multi-million dollar renovation of the course. "We built new drainage systems, replaced the greens' grass with seashore paspalum, rebuilt the bunkers and renovated the practice areas," explains Steve Murphy, Princeville's director of golf.
Off-Course Highlights
After you've finished your round, visit the nearby Princeville Ranch located on 2,500 acres of rolling meadows. It's a working cattle ranch where you can participate in an assortment of adventures like zip lining, horseback riding to an 80-foot waterfall and hiking to Kalihiwai Falls. Also check out surfing on Hanalei Bay, one of the Top 20 surf spots in the world and charter a helicopter or plane tour to take in beautiful aerial island views.

Unplugged, the Japan distributor, had planned showings of the film at two cinemas in Tokyo this month. Those have been canceled because of fears that planned protests might "inconvenience movie-goers," whether or not they were attending "The Cove."
At issue are planned protests by conservative activists who say the film is anti-Japanese. Takeshi Kato of Unplugged said in a faxed statement to Reuters, "'The Cove' is absolutely not an anti-Japanese film. I believe a deep and constructive debate is needed about the content of the film."
Japan's government has long defended its whale and dolphin hunts, saying such hunts are an important cultural tradition. The country continues to use the "research" loophole in anti-whaling laws to justify its whaling, for one.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Ozarkruffrider, Feb 11, 2008.
Jr. haha. got me. you know who I was talking about.
Love it or hate it. Kevin Jones was released due to his injury history and his expensive contract. Also Kalimba Edwards. Edwards contract made it impossible to trade him as well as KJ's condition.
I haven't been keeping up with Lion's current events and didn't read the prior posts in this thread,but did Millen pick up a big free agent back to take his place or has he targeted someone in the draft? I mean Tatum Bell and whomever is back there now was already weak so is there an Adrian Peterson out there??? Earlier in the week, an ESPN football analyst indicated the Jones should get more touches and the Lions should draft little Mike Hart for backup duty.
Wow. Didn't see that one coming. Edwards was expected, but I didn't think Jones would be cut.
Now there's a picture for the coming season...Mike Hart taking the ball from Drew Stanton
No RB of note has been added. Just means now that a RB is definitely top of the list in the draft. Mendenhall, Stewart, even McFadden is possible if he drops far enough to trade up and get him.
really can't get into tracking the daily moves of the lions, just to depressing for the most part.... but the Jones cut could be just a money move, that they might resign him shortly for less money. Sorta like Joey harrington did with atlanta.
Now Lions have only 14 players left on the roster from the time Marinelly took over.
Round, there is talk of that, but the real fact is from my source, the Lions will not re-sign him. His production also had a factor in letting him go. Also cut was Kenoy Kennedy today.
Isn't it hard to guage RB production in a Martz offence? I just don't see the direction or the logic behind these moves.
I agree with you Nemo. When KJ was healthy and actually getting the ball with any consistency, he was a 4-5 yard per carry back who combined speed and power. That's not bad with an O-line as bad. The fact that they had to cut a guy making just over $2 million for the season just shows how much of a joke this organization really is. They've screwed up the cap so bad that they have to nickel and dime everything. What's the harm in keeping him around for 1 more season? He's a FA after this year anyway. Worst case scenario is he gets injured again. Best case is that he has a breakout season - it's a contract year afterall. At the very least, it helps to disguise which way we're leaning with the 15th pick.
I always thought KJ was a low IQ player with bad hands and no lateral speed. Still, Millen has succeeded in rebuilding this team for the 3rd time since he got here, each time, managing to avoid a winning record. That in itself is amazing. When I think about the Lions, I get really angry. So I choose not to think about them a lot. It makes my blood boil.
Actually, it's closer to $3M. Truth is KJ is productive only nominally. You can't just keep a guy paying him like that when he keeps getting hurt. His best year was his rookie year. Even though it was Martz' offense, still KJ got hurt. As for a RB, it's deep enough to wear we could still get on in the 2nd easily.
From what I've read, it's $2.37 million. Like him or not, the fact is that Kevin Jones has been the most productive back we've had since Barry Sanders. Since I don't think Barry is coming back anytime soon, why not keep him for the last year of his contract? I'm not saying that KJ is the best thing since sliced bread, but he was more than serviceable and only 25 years old. It's not like the injuries he's had have been "girly" or anything. They've been legitimate, potentially career ending injuries that he has fought like a dog to come back from and has recovered well before the expectations each time. I'm not even saying that we shouldn't draft a back in the draft. I just don't agree with cutting our best RB for nothing when we already have a suspect group of backs and before the draft to even attempt to disguise the way they're leaning. I just think that this is another bone headed Millen mistake. Speaking of which, given Millen's track record with draft picks. Do you really trust him to even draft a RB that is now supposed to come in and start? At least KJ was a proven commodity. Man, I'm with you Roscoe. Every time I think about these darn Lions I get angry. But unlike you, I've been unable to force myself to stop thinking about them so far!
you coddle kj but run s rogers. we playing favs ? kj stank. all he could do is run straight ahead, and blast into guys for an extra 1/2 yard. draft Dline and oline. Kenoy K kinda grew on me as he got better over the years. Just couldn't make enough big plays.
KJ gave 100% effort every time I saw him play. He wasn't on the sideline every 3rd play catching his breath. He wasn't sitting on his fat butt on every crucial play. He wasn't taking plays off. Crazy as it sounds, he actually WANTED to be on the field for this team. He actually WANTED to run behind this sorry excuse for an O-line. Rogers wanted to collect his paycheck while eating a donut and fondling a stripper. I like KJ. Does that mean that I think he's the best back in the history of the NFL? No. But I do think that he was the best back on the Lions roster. It wouldn't have been the end of the world if we didn't re-sign him next season either. I just think that cutting him for nothing was a mistake (not that I think we would have received much for him at this point). Heck, I'm all for drafting O-line and D-line. I'd be overjoyed if the boneheaded GM would try and build this team from the trenches out rather than from the WR in. But guess what? Now we have to use one of our first day picks on a RB. Yet another top pick used on an offensive skill position. Hmmm, where have I seen that before? Keeping KJ on the roster would have given us more flexibility in the draft. But hey, if all that means that I'm playing favourites, so be it. Unlike Millen, I just want what's best for the team. I couldn't care less if it's KJ or OJ running the ball.
Was he worth 2 high # 2s to draft ? KJ had some moments, and was pretty good near the goal line. What's the longest run he ever broke 50yd ?
I guess that depends. Who's doing the drafting? If it's Millen, then I'd say absolutely. He's given us a heck of a lot more production than most of Millen's draft picks. But I'm not even arguing his draft status, just the fact that IMO, he shouldn't have been released when he was. Wait a second here..... Matt? Is that you? I get it now! TheeTFD = Matt Millen! Thee Totally Foolish Drafter! It all makes sense now!
I've seen Millen keep guys for a long time when they shoulda been cut or traded. Sadly enough, most of our roster fits into that caregory. Guys like Raiola, Kalimba, and Rogers have been kept for much too long. Now, suddenly KJ is cut at the drop of a hat. This leaves us in serious need of a RB. Another wasted draft looking for a quality Rb instead of a lineman. The message I'm getting from the organization is that Rogers and Kalimba were better at their positions than KJ was at his. I just don't see it that way. Rogers is nothing but a big tub of Gooo... his slacker attitude impacted the team in a very negative way.
I think getting rid of KJ is consistent with what the coach has in mind. He wants tough, nasty minded players who will hurt people. KJ had become contact adverse. He occasionally would bump heads with the opposition but would dance up to the line most of the time. KJ also had very poor peripheral vision and would often miss an opening just to the side of where he hit. Coach will settle for a bunch of tough nobodies in place of the pussies he had.
