Glad to help. Not a pain at all.
I really don't understand why they told you to use epoxy primer. I have used urethane primer a LOT on bare metal and NEVER had a problem. I may get people that don't agree, but if the bare metal is clean (I use #15230 Martin Senour wax and grease remover) I have not had a problem. Your alcohol may have bitten into your filler. I really don't know. Mix up a dab of your filler on a scrap piece and see what happens. I use an etch primer on aluminum for adhesion but only use it on metal if it is something (like a bike frame) that might get chipped or banged around during assembly. I have never used an epoxy primer therefore I have never had a chance to screw it up. Had I ever used it I probably would have and could tell you more about it. Any decent painter has screwed up a bunch. I will tell you what I would do now, but without seeing this deal this is tough to call. I would let the whole deal dry completely. Sand out the problems. If your sold on the epoxy put filler on a scrap panel and shoot a small spot. What I would not do is use alcohol to clean the panel. If you don't have a problem go ahead and shoot it. If you do have a problem with the test panel go ahead and shoot the job, urethane over bare metal and filler. You've worked hard on it. I really hope it turns out nice for you. Persistence will pay off.

In that he disusses alpha amylase activity leading to maltose production and operating between 60 and 65 deg C.
Beta amylase activity leads to breakdown of starch to dextrins and occurs between 65 and 70.
I've seen posts around where people refer to beta amylase operating at the lower temp and alpha at the higher and found this home brew wiki which suggests the exact opposite to Fix and with a wider temp range
Beta amylase produces Maltose, the main wort sugar, by splitting 2 glucose molecules from the non-reducing end of a glucose chain. It is therefore able to completely convert Amylose. But since it cannot get past the branch joins, Amylopectin cannot completely be converted by beta amylase. The optimal pH range for beta amylase between 5.4 and 5.6 and the optimal temperature range is between 140�F (60�C) and 150�F (65�C). Above 160�F (70�C) beta amylase is quickly deactivated [Narziss, 2005].
Alpha Amylase is able to split 1-4 links within glucose chains. By doing so, it exposes additional non-reducing ends for the beta amylase. This allows for the further conversion of Amylopectin. The optimal pH range is between 5.6 and 5.8 and the optimal temperature range is between 162�F (72�C) and 167�F (75�C). Above 176�F (80�C) alpha amylase is quickly deactivated [Narziss, 2005]
Now I don't have access to Narziss to see if they have misquoted him and my inclination would be to trust Fix. I have other books and documents about I can check but can those with an inkling of understanding of the brewing scientific principles make it clear who is correct and who is incorrect.? I've re-read both a couple of times to make sure it's not me misinterpreting as someone, somewhere has made a serious error.

Arizona Canning Company Issues Allergy Alert On Undeclared Soy Protein In Sun Vista Brand Red Enchilada Sauce
Brian Mosley
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 19 , 2011 -Arizona Canning Company is recalling its 29 ounce cans of Sun Vista Red Enchilada Sauce (Mild, Medium and Hot) because they may contain undeclared soy protein. People, who have allergies to soy, run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled Sun Vista Red Enchilada Sauce (Mild, Medium and Hot) was distributed in California and Arizona. All lots of this product are being recalled.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the ingredient list on the label reads "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein" instead of the more descriptive term "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Soy)".
Consumers who have purchased the Sun Vista Red Enchilada Sauce (Mild, Medium and Hot) and are sensitive or allergic to Soy are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-211-0600 (Mon-Fri 7:30AM-4:00PM (MST)).

Listed below are information and references to address physical activity and nutrition in the community setting.
Planning for an effective community intervention should be done at two levels: a high-level strategic plan; and an intervention plan.
Strategic Plan
|A Strategic Plan should be completed to set a high-level overview of where the group wants to go. An example of a long-term comprehensive plan would be to develop a 2-5-year outline of how the group would increase the physical activity opportunities in the community.
|A specific intervention plan is for a shorter term, is more detailed and is specific to a targeted intervention. An example of an intervention action plan would be to work with the schools to develop or expand after-school activities for children and make the school facilities available in off hours to members of the community. After you've completed your long-range strategic plan, go to Intervention Action Planning (PDF, 60 KB) for more specific information.
Strategic Planning Resources
A strategic plan provides overall direction for accomplishing a goal or set of goals over a period of several years. It is used to help a coalition focus its resources and energy, to ensure that members of the coalition are working toward the same goals, and to assess and adjust the coalition's direction in response to a changing environment.
Strategic Plan Example (PDF, 60 KB): A step-by-step explanation of what should be included in a strategic plan, with examples to illustrate each step.
Moving to the Future: Nutrition and Physical Activity Program Planning is an online resource to help health professionals develop successful nutrition and physical activity programs. The focus is on planning.
The Wisconsin WIC Program, the Wisconsin Nutrition and Physical Activity Program, and the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Nutrition Directors have developed a series of five training programs that cover the content in Moving to the Future: Nutrition and Physical Activity Program Planning. This five-session training series has been developed for use by state and local public health professionals in Wisconsin. The Moving to the Future resource is copyrighted, so if you are not part of the Wisconsin public health system please refer to Moving to the Future's copyright policy.
Wisconsin Session 1: Introduction to conducting a community assessment.
Wisconsin Session 2: Overview of gathering and analyzing community data, community opinion, and community environment.
Wisconsin Session 3: Prioritizing health concerns and writing objectives.
Wisconsin Session 4: Developing a nutrition and physical activity plan and funding a plan.
Wisconsin Session 5: Implementing interventions and evaluating interventions.
Strategic Planning Resources
- Social marketing can be thought of as a mindset used in planning and partnership development, or a structured and strategic planning process. It can be used to influence the behavior of individuals or the behavior of policymakers and influential persons for policy and environmental changes.
The Community Tool Box provides information, examples and tools for developing a strategic plan and developing vision and mission statements.
- The University of Wisconsin Extension has many resources to assist communities with planning. Contact your local Extension office.

The Actor Network Resource
'Actor-network theory': What is it? What are the questions it explores? And the substantive topics? How does it do so? What are its merits? What are its problems? How has it moved on? How does it relate to other approaches in social theory? These are the topics covered by the texts included in this annotated bibliography. Our aim is to create a resource suitable for all those who want to find material in, or relevant to, actor-network theory.
The resource is in two main parts:
Any classification is arbitrary and this is no exception. However, in order to soften this effect, articles often appear under several headings. It is particularly important to note that the distinction between 'theory' and 'substantive studies' is uncertain. As with other approaches in science, technology and society, and cultural studies, actor-network theory has developed primarily through its empirical studies.
The subthemes are (subject to change - see the note of the current version at the top of this document) as follows:

About Us
Our Mission
The mission of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation is to expand access to health care for vulnerable and low-income people in the Commonwealth. We collaborate with public and private organizations to broaden health coverage and reduce barriers to care, through grants, research, and policy initiatives. Our work served as a catalyst for the pioneering Massachusetts health care reform law enacted in 2006, and we have sponsored ongoing research on the law's impact. The Foundation is a private, non-profit organization governed by a 14-member Board of Directors.
Our Early History
The Foundation was established in 2001 with an initial endowment of $55 million from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. A year earlier, William Van Faasen, who was then CEO of the insurance company, had initiated discussions with senior leaders and members of the board about how to address the challenges faced by the state's growing number of uninsured, low-income residents. The outcome was a decision to create an independently governed, non-profit organization that would support the expansion of health care access through research, education, policy work, and grants to community organizations.
Philip Johnston, who had been Massachusetts' Human Services secretary under Governor Michael Dukakis and regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton, was selected to chair the Foundation board, and Andrew Dreyfus, who was Executive Vice President of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, became the Foundation's first president.
To support the expansion of health care access at the community level, the Foundation set up a grants program with clearly defined objectives such as improving care for low-income and disadvantaged residents, helping them navigate through the health care system, and strengthening advocacy on their behalf. The early years were also devoted to gaining a complete and accurate understanding of who in Massachusetts was uninsured or underinsured, and why. Over time, our research reports and "summit meetings" helped move lawmakers, advocates, and other health care leaders toward consensus on what should be done to solve the problem. The Foundation's signature achievement in this regard was the Roadmap to Coverage initiative, which provided a framework for the discussion, advocacy, and policymaking that led to enactment of the state's landmark health reform law in 2006.
I think we developed a very good model by investing in sound, independent research and policy development, in outreach, education and advocacy, and also in the community providers that care for our most disadvantaged neighbors. What I certainly didn't foresee at the outset was the magnitude of the impact the Foundation would have, both through its grantmaking and as a catalyst for Massachusetts health reform. - Philip Johnston, chairman of the Foundation's board since its inception.

Another Batman villain will soon dominate the world of Arrow, the hit CW show based on the DC Comics crime-fighter Green Arrow. The notorious Ra's al Ghul will finally appear in season three after being hinted at in previous seasons. News of his presence was confirmed at San Diego Comic Con. Ra's will soon be the main foe, but he isn't the first and only Batman villain to appear in the series; several reincarnations to varying degrees of comic book similarity have been depicted on the show since its premiere in 2012.
The writers and producers of Arrow have long been inspired by Batman, especially Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight films, which weren't afraid to explore darker territory on screen. The line: "You should be mindful of your surroundings," is repeated in Batman Begins and is also spoken in a season two episode of Arrow titled "League of Assassins." Ra's leads the League of Assassins, a secret organization that also includes his daughters, one of which is named Nyssa al Ghul in Arrow, but named Nyssa Raatko in the comics. His other daughter, Talia, has a higher profile in the comics after being married to Bruce Wayne and giving birth to his son.
Thus far in Arrow, members of the organization have also included Sara Lance (The Canary) who was released and rejoined, Malcolm Merlyn, and Al-Owal. In the comics, there have been countless members in the League of Assassins, so it'll be interesting to see which other characters the creators choose to depict.

|Bruin nemesis Cooke re-ups with Pittsburgh
|06.23.10 at 10:35 am ET
Bruin fans will be hard pressed to forget the questionable, blindsided hit Matt Cooke delivered on Marc Savard on March 6. Replays confirm the maliciousness of the blow, although Cooke was never penalized on the ice and received no fine from the league office. The hit knocked out Savard until the Flyers series in May.
Known for being a pest on the ice, Cooke re-signed with the Penguins Wednesday, a reported three-year, $5.4 million contract. One of the Penguins' top penalty-killers, he had 15 goals and 15 assists last season, to go along with a plus-17 and 183 hits. Cooke, who also has played for Vancouver and Washington, could have become a free agent July 1.
|Top two picks in last 25 NHL drafts
|at 8:28 am ET
On Friday the Bruins will have the second pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, their highest pick since picking Joe Thornton first overall in 1997. There have been rumors about the B's trading the pick for more picks or possibly a star player, but the Bruins have emphatically denied any plans to give it away. With Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall expected to go 1-2, it will be the biggest 1-2 punch since the Alex Ovechkin–Evgeni Malkin combo of 2004.
The No 1 pick always is the solid, franchise-building player who can score the most, hit the best, skate the fastest or defend the best. He also can also easily wear the 'C' on his sweater within a few years of his debut because he can command respect. In the past, there have been famous No. 1 picks including Guy Lafleur, Denis Potvin, Mario Lemieux, Pierre Turgeon, Mike Modano, Mats Sundin, Eric Lindros, Joe Thornton, Vincent Lacavalier, Rick Nash, Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane.
Then, of course, there is the overlooked No. 2 pick in the draft. In many cases, this pick can also be a blessing for a team, just as good as a No. 1 pick, depending on the class. Some of the great No. 2s: Brendan Shanahan, Petr Nedved, Chris Pronger, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza, the Staal brothers, Evgeni Malkin and James van Riemsdyk.
Here's a list of the past 25 top two picks in the NHL draft.
1. New York Islanders: John Tavares, London (OHL)
2009-present: 82 games, 24 goals, 30 assists, 54 points, 22 PIM, -15 plus/minus
2. Tampa Bay Lightning: Victor Hedman, Modo Ornskoldsvik (Elitserien)
2009-present: 74 games, 4 goals, 16 assists, 30 points, 79 PIM, -3 plus/minus
1. Tampa Bay Lightning: Steven Stamkos, Sarnia (OHL)
2008-present: 161 games, 74 goals, 67 assists, 95 points, 77 PIM, -15 plus/minus

|Boynton: The road to the Cup began in Boston
|06.10.10 at 10:31 am ET
PHILADELPHIA — Nick Boynton dreamed of a moment like Wednesday night since he was three. And finally, on the ice of the Wachovia Center, the 31-year-old Blackhawks defenseman was finally able to hoist the Stanley Cup over his shoulders.
There was a time when Boynton thought those dreams would be realized in Boston. After all, he was taken by the Bruins as a defenseman in the 1999 NHL Draft and there were those who thought he would be able to help replace the legendary Ray Bourque as a defenseman who could move the puck and kick-start the Bruins offense.
Originally drafted by the Washington Capitals in the 1997 NHL Draft, Boynton was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes just before his first camp with the Bruins but the disease did not keep him from pursuing his life-long dream.
His best season was 2003'04 with Boston, when he had six goals and 24 assists. During the NHL lockout season of 2004'05, Boynton played for the Nottingham Panthers in the British Elite Ice Hockey League.
"It's hard to describe," Boynton said. "But this is what I've dreamed about since I was a little kid. It's the greatest thing ever."
He played one more season for Boston before being dealt to Phoenix for fellow defenseman Paul Mara. Since then, he's bounced around, going to Florida, Anaheim and finally stopping in Chicago after being traded there this March.
What a break for him. He winds up with a ring out of it.
"I've been very fortunate in my career, starting with the Bruins," Boynton said. "I love Boston and have so many friends back there. I'm a lucky guy. I head back to Boston every summer and I miss it. Those were my younger years and made me who I am today so I love it there.
"It was everything you expect and more. It's been 31 years. Since I was three years old, I've been dreaming about this. It's been a long time."
|Flyers run out of time and luck
|at 1:28 am ET
PHILADELPHIA — The team of destiny that made history in Boston went to the well once too often in overtime and it finally cost the Flyers their Stanley Cup dreams. Chicago's Patrick Kane scored on a bizarre goal that few people in the building even realized went in just over four minutes into overtime and the Blackhawks claimed their fourth Stanley Cup with a 4-3 win over Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center in Game 6.
The Flyers had to get a stop from Brian Boucher on the last day of the regular season to beat the New York Rangers, 2-1, in a shootout to qualify for the playoffs.
They entered as a No. 7 seed in the East and dispatched of Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils in Round 1 in five games.
They then matched up against the No. 6 Bruins, and no one in New England needs to be reminded that ' up three games to none and 3-0 in Game 7 on Garden ice ' the Bruins let the Flyers come back to tie and win Game 7 and the series, 4-3, on a power-play goal by Simon Gagne with the Bruins serving a penalty for too many men on the ice.
It was in Game 4 in overtime when Gagne scored his first goal back from injury to re-ignite the flame for the Flyers.
Three wins later it was the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern finals. The Habs proved little opposition for the Flyers, who prevailed in five games.
Then the Chicago Blackhawks. The team that hadn't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 won a shootout, 6-5, in Game 1 and another one-goal game in Game 2, 2-1.
The Flyers showed their character by winning Game 3 again in overtime and handling Chicago 5-3 in Game 4. After a 7-4 loss in Game 5 the Flyers were again on the brink, down 3-2 with 3:59 left in regulation when Scott Hartnell scored to force ' yep ' another overtime.
This extra session would be the heartbreak of heartbreaks for the Flyers. A weak shot from Patrick Kane, almost an afterthought, was thrown on Michael Leighton. The goalie didn't see it until it went under him and the lip of the goal on the right side.
"He walked out of the corner, and there was a guy driving the net so I thought he was going to pass it," Leighton said. "He just threw it at the net and it went underneath me."
Bang. Game over. Stanley Cup over. Team of Destiny denied.
But still, this Flyers team will have its fondest memories of one of the most remarkable playoff run in recent sports rooted in Boston.
It was at TD Garden on May 14 that the Flyers became just the fourth team in major professional sports to wipe out a 3-0 deficit and win a series and the first to overcome a 3-0 hole on the road in Game 7 to do so.
"Yeah, you look back at a lot of games throughout the whole season," Hartnell said. "The way we got in, the way we came back against Boston to beat a great goalie and New Jersey and Montreal was on fire as well. We have to be proud to a certain point but certainly it's disappointing, too."
|Ward on D&H: 'Boston's on the upswing'
|05.18.10 at 12:54 pm ET
Former Bruin Aaron Ward, who is serving as an analyst for NHL coverage on Versus, joined the Dale & Holley show Tuesday to talk about the Stanley Cup playoffs. To hear the interview, click on the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
Ward said the Bruins were in a difficult situation in their series vs. the Flyers. "It's tough to overcome the loss of your two top scorers in Marco Sturm and David Krejci. And then couple that with Philadelphia getting back Simon Gagne. That's a tough one to deal with," said Ward, who finished this season with the Anaheim Ducks.
Ward said Bruins fans can take solace in the fact that the future is bright for this team. "Boston's on the upswing. They've got a great situation now with the draft, they've got a great situation where they have a lot of key, young guys that have that experience in the playoffs, regular season, that familiarity with the city. And it means a lot to a team to where you can start forming some sort of consistency and looking toward becoming a dynasty."
Ward, who said he would return to Boston "in a heartbeat," defended the leadership of Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, saying: "He possess every intangible. … He knows when to say something and when not to."
Ward was traded by the Bruins last offseason to the Hurricanes. There he became teammates with Scott Walker, who sucker-punched Ward in the face during their playoff series last season. Ward said it didn't take long to put hard feelings aside. "The first phone call from a player [after the trade was finalized] was Scott Walker," Ward said. "That was pretty easy to deal with, because we aired it out right there, put it right on the table, and there was no issue. We're big boys. One of the things I found out right after that punch was that Scott's wife had cervical cancer, and that was the day he found out. So, you know what, there's times in the game as a player, as a human, you figure out you've got to cut him some slack because you never know what kind of frame of mind you'd be in in that situation."
|Neely on The Big Show: 'It's been a rough few days'
|05.17.10 at 8:59 pm ET
Hockey Hall of Famer and Bruins vice president Cam Neely called in to The Big Show on Monday afternoon to discuss the aftermath of the Bruins' heartbreaking Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and talk about the future of the club with the NHL draft, free agency and other big personnel decisions coming up this offseason.
'We're going to look top to bottom,' Neely said. 'Obviously, when you don't win the last game of the hockey season, you have to improve your club, so we're looking at all ways at doing what we need to do to improve the club.'
A transcript of that interview follows. You can listen to the entire interview on The Big Show audio on demand page.
Has the Game 7 loss hit you guys yet?
Oh, it hit hard. It hit hard on Friday night. It's been a very tough few days, as you can imagine. Obviously, losing in the finals is a big deal, but this is really big, too.
Should the David Krejci injury and the return of Simon Gagne be seen as the turning point of the series, or when you're up 3-0, should you win the series even when you're up against those injuries?
Yeah, I think when you're up 3-0 you have to find a way to close it out. Losing Krejci certainly hurt us. That was a big loss because what it did was we had to give Savard more minutes, and you know him stepping into the playoffs in the second round not in the condition the other players were, being out so long that he was. It was a big loss losing Krejci. Gagne, he came back and got some big goals for them at timely times in all of the games that he played in. But when you're up 3-0, you have to find a way to close it out.
From the front office perspective, where do you start looking [players, coaches, etc.] for what went wrong with that series?
Well I think we have to look at the season as a whole, to be honest with you. The year as a whole didn't go as we expected it to. Certain players didn't perform to the expectations. Then, we found a way to make the playoffs and got out of the first round. Quite frankly, I don't think a lot of people thought we would beat Buffalo, and we came out, played really well and were able to solve [Ryan] Miller and then get up on Philly 3-0.
So I think over the course of this next week, we're going to sit down as a group and really just evaluate the whole season. I don't think we should just look at it in this one little snapshot because the year as a whole didn't go quite the way we had planned or expected. Read the rest of this entry »

There's the good news and the bad news.
The good news is that, in a year characterized by about 20 attempted fare hikes, only about half of the price boosts have stuck, according to the Associated Press. And lately, prices have remained reassuringly steady.
And now, the bad news: This week has brought not one, but two fare hikes from major U.S. carriers. Happy holidays!
So far, the latest hike of about $5 each way on many domestic flights has been embraced by Continental, Delta, and United. And Bloomberg Businessweek reports that, industrywide, fares are already up to $70 higher than they were this time last year.
One of the most common indicators of whether a fare hike will stick or be rolled back is whether it's adopted across the airline industry. And at least in this case, that might be the saving grace, as some analysts think Southwest won't join the crowd, thereby forcing the legacy lines to give up on this latest attempt.
So what's a traveler to do? George Hobica, the resident airfare expert at our sister site Airfarewatchdog, has a hunch that holiday airfare prices can't get much higher, so they might just get lower for the upcoming season.

Quoting sassymomntx1961:
Is the dried cranberries and orange zest on the baking asile?
I find dried cranberries by the other dried fruits like raisins or apricots. The orange zest...I'd just buy an orange and finely grate enough peel to use in the recipe.

I'll have an overview of the US Senate race in this week's issue of the Boston Phoenix -- and I wish the damn players would stand still long enough for me to get a snapshot.
Stephen Lynch unexpectedly announced this morning that he will not run (must have been a bad, bad poll I'm guessing), which leaves Somerville's own Michael Capuano as the only Congressman in the hunt. Martha Coakley is the only statewide officeholder (current or former) to jump in. And now we have two people who fit my "Chris Gabrieli type" profile: Alan Khazei, co-founder of CityYear, and Stephen Pagliuca, Celtics co-owner and Bain Capital wunderkind.
And I'm still of the belief that Vicki Kennedy is sizing it up, but there's been nothing new on that front.
And as it stands, with the field whittled down to a mere two officeholders, you have to wonder whether somebody lower on the ladder jumps in -- a state senator, say -- who can use the race to build a statewide name and organization. (Like how then-state rep Jamie Eldridge ran for Congress and then breezed into a state senate seat.)
Meanwhile, Scott Brown looks like he's the GOP's last, best hope for the race. Unless Mihos changes his mind again.

SWTOR Festival of Splendor Event Guide
SWTOR Festival of Splendor event guide with walkthroughs and rewards. Festival of Splendor is a gambling event in SWTOR Nar Shaddaa from June 9 to August 25, 2015.
The Basics
When and where?
June 9 to August 25, 2015. Nar Shaddaa Casinos.
What Level?
You will need to have a ship so you can travel to Nar Shaddaa. Level 10+
Can I sell the rewards from this event?
No, everything is legacy bound.
What do I need to participate in this event?
Lots of credits, deep pocket, patience, mouse that can withstand lots of clicks. This is designed to be a credit sink so expect to spend money.
How to Start
Head to the fleet and you will find Advertisement Terminals on the inner ring of the fleet.
Interacting with it will give you a very short cutscene and a mission called Festival of Splendor which will direct you to Nar Shaddaa Casino. In addition, it will give you a few credits and 5 Smuggler's Casino Chip.
Once you arrive in Nar Shaddaa, head to Club Vertica Casino if you are Republic or Star Cluster Casino if you are Empire.
How to Play
Before you can play on the slot machines, you will need to purchase chips from a Casino Cashier.
- Kingpin Casino Chip: 50k credits or 1 Cartel Market Certificate
- Smuggler's Casino Chip: 1k credits or 100 Warzone Commendation
There are two type slots: Kingpin's Bounty slots and Smuggler's Luck slots. The big prizes are on the Kingpin machines but the Smuggler machine is worth to play for the buff you get from it that will help you on the Kingpin machines.
The buff you want to get from the Smuggler's machine is the Feeling Lucky buff, which casts for 2 minutes (or until you win the Golden Certificate or jackpot from the Kingpin machines) and you have a 10% chance to get it from a Smuggler's machine.
Generally the way most people play the slot machines is doing the slot machine shuffle in which they play the Smuggler machine first to get the buff and then head over to the Kingpin machines until their buff gets used up. Since there is a delay before you can use the same machine again, you can probably play 3-4 machines at once so you don't waste time waiting for the machine.
- There is a 1.5s GCD cooldown before you can click on another machine
- There is a 5s cooldown before you can click on the same machine
Due to the way the machines are positioned, you can play 3 Kingpin machines at once if there are no other players nearby. You can play 4 Smuggler's machine at once by standing in between 2 rows of the Smuggler machines. You will need to be fairly close to the machine to click on them.
What are my chances of winning?
Unlike gambling in a Las Vegas casino, you know the exact % of winning here. The numbers here are taken from swtor_miner's threads on reddit.

|Kingpin's Rancor
|Machine Explodes
|For that hidden achievement
Got time but not lots of credits?
The cheapest way to do this if you have the time is to buy Smuggler's Chips which are only 1k credits. Your odds of winning a Kingpin chip is 5% but you also have a 50% chance to get your Smuggler chip back, 10% chance to get your chip back + buff and 5% chance to get 2 chips back. This is much cheaper than spending 50k credits on a Kingpin chip but you are also spending much more time (some math wiz please help me calculate on average how much credits you spend on a Kingpin chip if you only use the Smuggler machines to get them).
- According to the calculations by venomlash in the comments below, it is about 6 Smuggler chips per Kingpin chip on average so you are only spending 6k on average rather than 50k.
How much I need to spend that rancor mount?
This is gambling so either you are lucky or you are not. Chance to win a rancor is 0.09% with the buff so it is about 1111 clicks on average (1/ 0.0009 = 1111). Each click costs 1 Kingpin chip. If you are buying the chips at 50k credits a pop and doing it with the buff you can expect about 1111 x 0.3519 x 50k = 19 mil credits for the rancor mount. Doing it with the buff and/or using the smuggler's machine to get the Kingpin chips will be much cheaper but slower.
- 0.3519 came from 1- 0.6481, which give you the number of chips you actually lost since you have a 64.81% chance to get the chip back.
- If you get Kingpin chips from the Smuggler machine at an average cost of 6k per chip, and have the buff, you are looking at 1/0.0009 x (0.3519) * 6k = 2.3 mil
How much do I need to spend on average for item X?
Calculation provided by venomlash, this is assuming you always have the buff and using Smuggler's machine to get the Kingpin chips. Acquisitions are not mutually exclusive of each other.
- Golden Certificate: 28,958 credits
- Feeling Lucky buff: 3,000 credits
- Vectron Magnus: 709,220 credits
- Kingpin's Rancor: 2,347,418 credits
- "Unlucky" legacy achievement: 1,499,250 credits (calculated on the Smuggler machine)
Remember, this is gambling. There is no such thing as if I spend x amount of money I will get this item for sure. It is all about probability.
There are 2 items that you can only obtain via the Kingpin slot machines. The Kingpin Rancor mount and the Vectron Magnus mount. Everything else can be purchased with Golden Certificates you get from the Smuggler and Kingpin machines.
Legacy Title: The Unlucky
- If you managed to blow up the slot machine (0.02% chance), you get this title.
Kingpin Rancor mount
Vectron Magnus mount
Golden Certificate

As the Northeast Ohio Media Group looks to redefine their coverage of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the wake of long-time scribe Mary Schmitt Boyer's retirement, the group that spearheads Cleveland.com and The Cleveland Plain Dealer are looking for a beat writer. But not a Cavaliers beat writer per se—a LeBron James beat writer.
James' return to Cleveland has been the talk of the summer in the sports world. With standard, robotic, lede-quote-stats game recaps going the way of the rotary phone, NEOMG wants to make sure they're ahead of the curve when it comes to covering one of the biggest stories in Cleveland. From the job description:
Bring your sports, news and investigative reporting experience to one of the most challenging reporting jobs in the country, covering the sports performance, business dealings and community leadership of basketball star LeBron James. You'll cover all aspects of his roles in Northeast Ohio and nationally as he returns to the Cleveland Cavaliers, writing, creating videos, and posting across multiple platforms including all relevant types of social media. You'll also participate in broadcasts where you discuss James, working closely with reporters assigned to cover the Cavaliers and the NBA.
Kudos to NEOMG for breaking the mold among newspaper-based outlets. The changes they have made to their Ohio State coverage has been noticeable. They've also started to break the mold a bit in their Tribe coverage. The intriguing aspect of this specific position, however, will be what sort of access, if any, is provided to said writer outside of the typical scrums and scheduled appearances. Here's hoping it involves investigative, non-deadline, writerly items as opposed to the mere repackaging of others' reports.
You know what they say: Prose over pose.1
- Actually, I'm not sure anyone's ever said that. Ever. [↩]

Father of missing boy arrested on drug charges
Posted in the Fitchburg Forum

#65 Jan 3, 2014
I am Hispanic and the rest of my family is on welfare. I am the only smart one that got a city job. Yes I do just sit around most of the time but its a good job. Ha ha LMAO dumb dumb
#66 Jan 3, 2014
Good points Lynch. Have you also heard that when the firehouse gets a call about a hispanic house on fire they are taught to throw gas on the fire instead of water?
#67 Jan 3, 2014
The fear is that they take their time and they do not assist as much. And the biggest fear is of the EMTs where they may not give proper and needed care due to their stereotyping
#68 Jan 3, 2014
Lynch the Retard,
Does it physically hurt you being as stupid as you are? Do you suffer from intense headaches brought about by the unintelligent thoughts your little pea brain generates?
She were you first diagnosed with a mental illness. As a candidate for Mayor we have a right to know. We know the diagnosis has got to be bi-polar, but how early did they identify you as being mentally ill?
#69 Jan 3, 2014
14 Hispanics on the department, do your homework dumb ass. We own the department.
Now answer the question suckballs.
Why do I have to work and have to pay you because you don't want to work?
#70 Jan 3, 2014
So, you got a token job as a minority in an all white department. You use to be on welfare struggling to find work. Your relatives are still struggling and you put them down??????? Do they call you a "cow boy?"
Believe it or not there were Nazis that were Jewish working with the enemy as well so your behavior is nothing new.
Were you smart enough or lucky enough ?
#71 Jan 3, 2014
So it doesn't matter what race I am then? I must have sold out if I am Hispanic but if I am white I was given the job?
So what race is suppose to be on the fire department?
#72 Jan 3, 2014
Give us your name mouth??? Going to COWARD up like the others out here??
United States
#73 Jan 3, 2014
Lynch, you are nothing but a lying bomb tosser. Firefighters respond to all emerhencies the same way regardless of who needs help. For you to say otherwise is outrageous. Don't tell us you have proof otherwise because you don't. You are a proven liar and a criminal.
#75 Jan 3, 2014
Yet another fact that makes lynch look even more retarded. I didn't think that was even possible. Lynch, how do you respond that there are indeed 14 Hispanics on the FPD and why does The Insider have to work while you get to stay home all day sucking cawk and licking your the smegma from your mom's taint?
#76 Jan 3, 2014
You like having a Hispanic c*ck up your ass.....wink
#77 Jan 3, 2014
Answer the question MOUTH !
Why do I have to work and you don't have to?
Don't try and change the subject because you don't want to answer the question.
#79 Jan 3, 2014
Stop claiming you pay taxes dipstick!! You collect the welf and are on mass health. You don't own a home or a car and to boot you can't even have a license to pay the measly $75 bucks into the state every 5 years. You take take take from the system claiming you can't work due to the severe arthritis and the immense pain but yet you're healthy enough to search in a foot of snow, walk down steep embankments, trudge through the woods looking for the missing boy. How can this be??? Quite simple YOU DONT WANT TO WORK!
#80 Jan 3, 2014
Lynch is a piece of trash.
#81 Jan 3, 2014
It is TRUE and I have proof! It is time to straighten you all out. We have right here on these blogs firefighters talking down about race! And then you have FFD members who witnessed what happened outside their station and didn't say anything. And then there are EMTs out of that station who unlawfully held and manipulated evidence in this case.
YES,YES YES it is OUTRAGEOUS and totally unacceptable!!!!!!! And YES, 100% FACT at least 6 FPD officers FALSIFIED reports in order to KNOWINGLY falsley imprison my friend Dave and I. Do you want me to list them?
Officer MacNamarra, Siomos, Sevigny, Belafonte(the beaver),the Lt., officer Lake and Chief Demoura ! And this is just the beginning of the list!!
Is this enough corruption to call for a justice department review? Some of these even stood under oath and LIED!
So, tell me should the general public feel safe with these officers on the payroll of the FPD????? What if it were a murder, does an innocent person have to be jailed for life behind these officers filing false reports???
You people continue to badger me everyday nonstop! Enough is enough!! And then in the FFD we have firefighters and EMTs that joined in with their cohorts that they allowed for YEARS documented to improperly utilize city property that belongs to the citizens of Fitchburg!
Now if we had a leader that could lead then they would hold these people accountable as a matter of PUBLIC SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!
Yes ,I am irate and YES it is OUTRAGEOUS for public safety employees to conduct themselves in an illegal way! But they have magistrates, judges and DAs that have their backs in Fitchburg AKA EARLY!!!
This case is coming back and I personally challenge EARLY to prosecute me himself!!! And I will defend myself!
EARLY did NOTHING to address CORRUPTION within the FPD and FFD and now this firefighter adds that he works at the FFD???? And is holding conversations pertaining to this missing boy case with FFD members to the point where they LABEL an entire segment of our population being Hispanic and poor as being less than and not eligible to call for a full investigation pertaining to a possible murder?
This conversation is way past due. And when they get fired they can thank the few out here who just couldn't stop putting it in my face the torture that Dave and I went through due to their fucking corruption? Huh Cheryl? Huh Stamos??
#82 Jan 3, 2014
The Lynchie kind does not want apples. He wants bananas and you can imagine what he does with those.

If a minor lives in someone's house for at least 6 months out of any given year, than that person has the right to claim the kids whether they are related or not. But I understand why you would not understand tax law, having never been a contributing member of society.

Non stop FFD members out here talk about Hispanics being less than and not deserving of public safety resources!!!!!!! Is this OUTRAGEOUS???? What do you think?????????
For Macmarra to state there is that .... Lynch right there and then to have this gold star sleeve give me a mean stare like he is a fucking gang member??????????
Everyday members of the FPD and FFD come out here and continue to badger me and to continually put it in my face the injustice that YES my boyfriend Dave went through and I.
Fuck you!
There is a long list of FPD members that needs to be investigated. This department has been mistreating and allowing corruption within their department. It makes the movie "cop town" look like a low budget film compaqred to the corruption within Fitchburg.

Just answer the question. Why do I have to work and you don't have to?
But you do know if this forum is making you snap and upsets you, then don't come on here.
Are you stupid or something? No one is forcing you to read the forum here. You have the option to stay away from it.
No one keeps going to a place or a website that they don't like, so why do you?

Freshman Tiffany Morales (Redondo Beach, Calif./Redondo Union) had a match-high 27 digs.
The Wolverines fought back in the fifth set after being down 7-3. A kill from Murphy and three straight points off Dannemiller's serve knotted the set at seven. The set then went back and forth with 11 ties. Arkansas had match point at 15-14, but the Wolverines fought it off on a Murphy kill. An attack error from Roslandy Acosta gave Michigan match point, but Acosta came back with a kill to tie it at 16. Erwin then had a kill, and an Arkansas attack error gave the Maize and Blue the win and tournament championship.
Michigan hit .419 in the match's first set on its way to the eight-point win. Arkansas had the momentum early, taking a 6-1 lead on a Razorback block and an 8-4 advantage on a Wolverine service error. Michigan cut the Arkansas lead to 11-10 on an Erwin kill and went up 13-12 on a Murphy termination. Michigan built a 16-13 lead on Cross' kill and went up 19-14 on Cross' fifth kill of the set. Michigan scored the last two points of the set on Murphy's kill and service ace.
Arkansas came back to take the second set 25-21. Michigan got out to a 7-3 lead on a Dannemiller kill, but Arkansas scored the next four points to knot the set. The Wolverines again built a 13-7 advantage on back-to-back terminations from Toon, but Arkansas again tied the set at 13 apiece. Toon's kill gave U-M a 17-14 lead, and the Razorbacks came back to tie the set at 17. An Erwin kill gave Michigan a 20-17 lead, but Arkansas ended the set on an 8-1 run, evening the match at one set apiece.
Michigan used Cross' seven kills in the third set to take back the lead in the match. Murphy's kill gave Michigan a 7-5 lead. There were six ties in the set, the final one at 17-all. The Maize and Blue went on a three-point run after that, capped by a service ace from freshman Lindsey Lerg (Farmington Hills, Mich./Mercy). Toon's kill gave Michigan a 23-20 lead, and Cross ended the set with a kill to give Michigan a 25-22 win.
Michigan opened the fourth set with a 7-4 lead on freshman Krystalyn Goode's (River Falls, Wis./Nicolet) kill. Erwin gave Michigan a 12-10 lead on a kill, but Arkansas scored the next four points on a kill and three straight Michigan attack errors. U-M battled back to take an 18-15 lead on Dannemiller's kill and led 20-18 on a termination from Toon. Arkansas ended the set by scoring seven of the last eight points to push the match to a fifth and deciding set.
Michigan hit .224 in the win, compared to .217 for the Razorbacks. The Maize and Blue had 74 kills to Arkansas' 64 and recorded 79 digs on the night.
Michigan will take the road next Friday and Saturday (Sept. 7-8) for the Marquette Golden Eagle Classic in Milwaukee, Wis. U-M will open the tournament against Wake Forest on Friday at noon CDT.

LAFAYETTE (AP) — Police in Lafayette have issued a misdemeanor citation to a teacher accused of throwing a hammer at a student at Lafayette High School.
The incident happened a week ago. Cpl. Paul Mouton of the Lafayette Police Department said nobody was struck or injured.
Mouton said the teacher — identified as Gene Daigle — was issued a misdemeanor summons Friday for aggravated assault. He was not booked into jail.
School district spokeswoman Angela Morrison said in an email to The Advertiser that the district cooperated with police in the investigation.
Daigle is listed as an industrial arts teacher on the school website. He has not commented publicly on the incident.

'Jewish' and 'Feminist' Don't Share Borders
This is the twelfth entry of an ongoing series exploring Jewish feminism.
This is embarrassing and something I should never admit because it betrays a lack of commitment to passionate principles and also a resistance to deep thinking. But here it is: "Jewish" and "feminist" exist in two different boxes for me, and I have never managed to get them to share borders. This is not for lack of trying.
I am Jewish, and I am the founder and editor of a woman's website. In college I read Lilith magazine and I went to the kinds of reformed services where God was sometimes a "she." (I went to college in California.) I also briefly attended such a synagogue in D.C., where I live now, and participated in a long and earnest discussion about the dual gender nature of the deity.
But ultimately the whole enterprise made me squirm.
I was born in Israel and grew up in Queens. My synagogue there was full of old men and they only spoke Hebrew and never much cared what we, the young people or we, the girls and women, thought about anything. It was a thoroughly unpleasant and unsatisfying spiritual experience, but that's what we had. Over the years I have tried to move away from it and create myself a more fulfilling, nourishing kind of Judaism. But the truth is, it makes me uncomfortable.
I realized in recent years that what I want from my Judaism is ritual — old, familiar, and some might say thoughtless ritual. I like to say the prayers the same way I have always said them, sing the songs in the same old tuneless way and make my kids go to Hebrew school. And in the old version, God is just He.

The Babson College men's ice hockey team scored three first period goals and senior goalie Zeke Testa stopped 33 shots to upset No. 1-ranked Norwich University 4-1 on Saturday afternoon at Kreitzberg Arena in ECAC East action.
Testa was the story of the game as the veteran goalie stymied the high-octane Cadet offense despite the Beavers being outshot 26-5 over the final two periods. Saturday's victory marked the first time Babson beat Norwich (13-2-0, 8-1-0 ECAC East) since March 3, 2007. Testa had also taken Norwich to overtime four times though in his previous five starts against the Cadets, tallying a 0-2-3 record.
Mike Driscoll, Ryan Smith and Connor Berto each scored goals in the first period to stake Babson (9-3-2, 5-2-1 ECAC East) to a 3-0 lead that coupled with the play of Testa, proved to be too much for the Cadets to overcome.
Driscoll opened the scoring at the 4:05 mark of the period when he slipped a rebound past NU starting goalie Chris Czarnota (Wakefield, Mass.) on his backhand after an initial shot from Ben Kravitz was blocked by the Cadet goaltender. Andrew Bonazza also picked up an assist on the goal.
Smith pushed the lead to 2-0 when he beat Czarnota five-hole off a pass from Jay Haseley from behind the NU cage at the 8:56 mark of the first. Haseley skated in from the left wing and made a move around the NU defender. He continued to wheel behind the goal line and then just before crossing behind the goal he slid the puck back out to Smith who banged the shot through Czarnota's pads.
The Beavers weren't done yet though as Connor Berto made it 3-0 when he beat Czarnota five-hole again off a pass from PT Donato.
Troy Starrett picked up the second assist on the goal as he carried the puck into the zone and was checked off the puck by NU defenseman Erik Lyrvall. Donato scooped up the puck though and continue to drive to the net drawing a horde of NU defenders to him. Instead of attempting a shot, Donato slid the puck across to the other faceoff circle where Berto was standing. Berto turned and got the puck on his forehand and slid it through Czarnota's five-hole as the NU goalie tried to get across the crease to make the save.
Norwich picked up the intensity in the second period in frantic search of a goal. However, Testa continued to stone the NU offense and stopped all 12 shots he faced in the period, while Babson was only able to muster four on NU's Parker Carroll (West Chester, Pa.) who came in relief of Czarnota at the start of the second period.
Norwich was finally able to break through at the 8:18 mark of the third period when junior forward Travis Janke (Swift Current, Sask.) batted a puck out of midair into the back of the net while on the power play to cut the deficit to 3-1. Senior forwards Colin Mulvey (Worcester, Mass.) and Kyle Thomas (Waltham, Mass.) recorded assists on the goal.
However, that's as close as Norwich would get as Haseley added the backbreaker at the 19:06 mark of the period by flipping a puck from center ice into an empty net after NU head coach Mike McShane pulled Carroll in favor of the extra attacker. Haseley's goal was Babson's only shot of the third period with the Cadets outshooting the Beavers 14-1.
Czarnota made five saves in the first period and suffered his first loss of the 2012-13 season. Carroll made four saves in the 39:07 of game action he saw in the final two periods.
Testa improved to 2-1-1 on the season and made his first start since Dec. 5 after freshman goalie Jamie Murray had started 10 of the last 11 games for Babson.
Norwich still sits comfortably in first place as the Cadets chase their unprecedented 15th straight ECAC East regular season title. NU has 16 points with Babson and Saint Anselm tied for second with 11 points each.
The Cadets have lost two of its last three games after starting the season 11-0-0. Both losses have come at home at Kreitzberg Arena where before last Saturday's 5-3 loss to Neumann, NU boasted a 35-game unbeaten streak.
Norwich looks to get back on track next Friday when it travels up Interstate 89 for an in-state ECAC East travel partner matchup with St. Michael's at 7 p.m. at Cairns Arena in South Burlington.

We had a very long winter.... Sadly, I have a feeling that even though it is finally officially spring we still aren't finished with old man winter.
Regardless of the weather, it is time to get my Easter/spring decorating on! I started a month ago by eating marshmallow peeps virtually everyday. Preferably the blue rabbits. If you run into me and I have a blue mouth, tongue and teeth. You now know the reason why. They've been my favorite since I was a child.
I am a decorating magazine hoarder. I'm always getting ideas from them. But for the blog today I thought I would look for some Easter decorating inspiration online. FYI: Google search engine is a great place to start.
This first image of the Happy Easter banner can be downloaded here. Print onto card stock and then cut each one out and attach to ribbon. Easy Peasy.
|Fresh flowers can make any room look and feel great.
|Save those egg cartons. There's all kinds of ideas available.
|Who doesn't love a great tablescape? Is that a word? I've heard it used often.....
|I must have this back yard!!! What kind of purple bush/tree is that?
|I can honestly say I have never thought about doing an Easter tree. It looks cute. I may consider it after all.
|This spring mantle is fabulous! I adore all of the white!
I am now full of inspiration!! Time to get busy!! Just as soon as I eat one more peep.....
Btw I've been listening to Elvis while typing this. It's a happy Saturday people!

June 26th, 2007 | Published in Google News
One of the goals of Google News is to enable readers to read the news in the way that works best for them. In looking at how people use Google News and based on feedback we've received, we've found that many people prefer to read the news in a more visual way. As a result, over the last few months we have been working on Google News Image Version
The Image Version of News lets you view and explore the top headlines of the day through photos instead of just text.
When you roll over an image on the left, it exposes the full snippet and link to the related article on the right side of the page. Clicking on an image will take users directly to the article the image came from. In addition, users can search for image search results. For example, searching for Iraq in Image View would give the following results.
Even if you prefer a standard headlines page, viewing News through Images can be very useful. One classic example is sports. If you want to see the latest action, Image version lets you view the photos for a given team or for a specific game.
We're pretty excited to add this to the Google News experience, so give it a try and let us know what you think!

ALBANY -- Victorina outran pacesetter Unspoken Word down the stretch to win the $65,900 Marina Stakes by three-quarters of a length Sunday at Golden Gate Fields.
Ridden by William Antongeorgi III and trained by Greg Gilchrist, Victorina stopped the timer in 1:37.32 while improving to 1-for-2 in one-mile races. Overall, Victorina has 12 victories in 22 career starts.
Victorina collared Unspoken Word in midstretch and methodically put her away in the final furlong to record her third victory in five starts this year.
"I felt confident the whole way," said Antongeorgi, who is 2-for-2 aboard Victorina. "I know this filly and know what she's capable of. She ran relaxed and just waited for me to ask her. I asked her at the quarter pole and she took off. She's all class."
Gilchrist watched Victorina's win via simulcast from Santa Anita, where he saddled High Resolve in the $100,500 Cascapedia Stakes. High Resolve ran second in the Cascapedia, beaten one length by Foxy Danseur.
"I thought Billy (Antongeorgi) rode a great race," said Gilchrist. "I knew Jerry (Hollendorfer, trainer of Unspoken Word) would send his horse (to the lead) because she seems to run her best races that way. I told Billy just don't let (Victorina) have too much to do. On the backstretch he had her just a few lengths off the lead and when he pushed the button the little mare said, 'OK.' I thought she ran real well."
Victorina was the 3-to-2 favorite in the Marina and paid $5.00 to win. Owned by the Estate of Harry J. Aleo, Victorina earned $30,750, a payday that boosted her career earnings to $573,875.
Racing resumes at Golden Gate Fields Wednesday. Post time is 12:45 p.m.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
I currently have a script using sessions. I do understand that if the server cannot set a cookie on a web browser that PHP sees this and manipulates the HTML to include a hidden POST filed so that the form data is always being POSTed and stored in the server sessions.
The question:
Is there a way to prevent the server from trying to set that first cookie? Im developing a script that may have privacy implications (dont ask ) and we may not want to use cookies but because of the complexity of the script we have to use sessions.
php_flag session.use_cookies 0
This will disable the use of cookies for the session ID.
However, unless something has changed recently, the PHP session code does not use POST data to pass the session ID, but GET data. This means that the session ID is appended to the URL.
>>I wonder if there are any ramifications for not using cookies?
Are you aware of session hijacking? If not, you may want to read the "session fixation" link from the PHP Session handling [php.net] page. Should give you a good feel for session management and possibilities.
Simply set a cookie using php and then check if its there if it isnt then cookies arent enabled.
Sorry I wasnt specific enough with my question :), how can you test to see if a session cookie was accepted by the client? I would rather not set a cookie just to check if the user has cookies enabled, there must be someway to check if the session cookie was accepted?
It's as simple as setting a session variable. Next time you want to know if they accepted the cookie, check the session variable. It it isn't set, they didn't accept the cookie.
// If user logged in and we validated it as OK, set a session variable:
$_SESSION['user_password'] = $_POST['user_password'];
// Later on we want to know if the user logged in and accepted our cookie:
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_password'])) return false;

Need technical help with 1978 Eldorado front wheel drive transmission
We really appreciate this website. We have found it to be informative and interesting.
We recently joined this community and have spoken about this problem. We thought we would try this message board and explain more in detail.
We need front wheel drive transmission technical help locating an original style final drive output shaft axle seals, both inner and outer.
The original style had vent holes that released the pressure from the differential final gear.
The seals we have found are aftermarket and do not have the vent holes.
Were very concerned about the pressure buildup without the vent holes on these seals. What happens to this pressure? Where is all the pressure going with out the vent holes? Will they blow out the seals, push them out or leak?
Has anyone encountered this kind of problems?
Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Full speed ahead with Cuyuna Lakes Whiteout mountain biking celebration
CROSBY — John Denver sang of coming home to a place he'd never been before.
Rocky Mountain High, Colorado.
For the first Cuyuna Lakes Whiteout mountain biking celebration, the anthem has a similarly awe-inspiring vibe.
Yawkey Mountain High, Cuyuna. And for mountain bikers coming to this place, whether they've been here before or not, the plan is quite simple: Leave them in awe.
"We have to do this top-notch," Aaron Hautala of the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew said at a meeting Thursday night at the Hallett Center officially announcing Whiteout, scheduled March 2-3 in and around the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. "It can't be second-rate. We want everyone walking out saying, 'This is amazing.'
"Yawkey Mountain High, Cuyuna — it's the perfect bumper sticker. That's the stuff we have to create that people bring back home with them."
The celebration will revolve around the new winter mountain biking trails in the Sagamore Unit of the CCSRA, not far from the world-class mountain biking trails that opened in the CCSRA last spring/summer. The Yawkey Unit will be open that Saturday (March 2) only, featuring bobsled-like runs that are expected to dazzle riders.
"Yawkey being open is a crowning jewel," Hautala said.
"We were kind of wondering if it (Yawkey) was a possibility," he added of Whiteout. "It (Yawkey) is the gem of the whole event. It's a great ride in the woods. (People will be saying) 'Am I in the Rockies?'"
The roller coaster-like trails in and around the mine pit lakes give riders that feel. But the main trails are too dangerous for winter navigation. Sagamore, however, is not. Even, say, in the dark.
Whiteout will kick off with the Sagamore Friday Night Ride at 6 p.m. March 2. Registration for Saturday's races and a pasta feed are other highlights of the first day.
The second day features Yawkey runs from sunrise to sunset. Races at the Sagamore Unit start at 9:30 a.m. March 3 and culminate with the Cuyuna Lakes Fat Tire Drag Race Championship on Serpent Lake at Crosby Memorial Park.
"It's a 100-yard dash. We're not looking for the race to be serious, we're looking for it to be fun," Hautala said. "Any bikes (are welcome). You can bring your stationary bike if you wa Most of the action will be at the Sagamore Unit. More snow is still needed before those trails will open for the first time to fat-tire bikes.
The Cuyuna Lakes Arctic Outdoor Market will be open both days and will feature goods made in — and unique to — Cuyuna lakes country. And the Seth Doud Band will perform a live concert from 2-5:30 p.m. March 3, featuring the Yawkey Mountain High theme.
"It's not just about biking," Hautala said of Whiteout. "It's the Cuyuna experience — Cuyuna food, Cuyuna beer ..."
"It has the opportunity to be a real good time and to rally the community," said Nick Statz, Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew dirt boss.
Also the second day, the lighting of the Cuyuna Lakes Fire is scheduled at noon at Crosby Memorial Park. After all, what's a winter celebration without a fire?
"Friends around the campfire and everybody's high."
Yawkey Mountain High.

Citation: Williams, J.R., Kannan, N., Wang, X., Santhi, C., Arnold, J.G. 2012. Evolution of the SCS curve number method and its applications to continuous runoff simulation. Journal Hydrologic Engineering. 17(11):1221-1229. Interpretive Summary: In the 1950's, the runoff curve number (CN) method was developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to estimate direct runoff from rainfall for designing conservation structures. Since then, the CN method has been implemented in several natural resource models used by NRCS for national conservation planning and policy development. Several methods have been developed to use CN in a continuous mode within comprehensive water balance models. In this study, we describe the evolution of the CN method and recent developments. The different methods for implementing CN with continuous models are compared and discussed. The results indicate that CN methods can provide realistic and robust estimates of runoff over a wide range of soil properties, providing a useful technique for NRCS conservation planning.
Technical Abstract: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) [previously Soil Conservation Service (SCS)] developed the SCS runoff curve-number (CN) method for estimating direct runoff from storm rainfall. The NRCS uses the CN method for designing structures and for evaluating their effectiveness. Structural design is usually based on a single event of a certain probability of occurrence. During the years when many floodwater-retarding watershed projects were planned and constructed (1950–1980), the CN equation was used in a continuous mode to evaluate the projects. To operate CN in a continuous mode, runoff was estimated from a daily rainfall record of approximately 30 years. For each day of recorded rainfall, the five-day antecedent rainfall was used to assign a CN 1 (dry condition), CN 2 (average condition), or CN 3 (wet condition), and runoff was estimated with the appropriate CN. With the development of continuous hydrologic simulation models, CN was related directly to soil water content or estimated using rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (PET) to drive an index. Several methods were attempted and used with different degrees of success over a period of many years. The purpose of this study is to describe the evolution of the continuous CN method and its recent developments. Test results on the basis of the direct-link soil-moisture approach and the revised soil-moisture index method are presented for demonstration purposes. The results indicate that the revised soil-moisture index method is robust and produces realistic runoff estimates over a wide range of soil properties.

Nov 27, 2013 - The Associated PressJACKSON -- The man believed to have ignited the Horsethief Canyon wildfire has received a bill from the U.S. Forest Service for some of the cost of putting it out.
76-year-old James Anderson Jr. received a "letter of demand" associated with the fire.
The U.S. attorney's office and the Bridger-Teton National Forest have not stated exactly how much the federal government is seeking. The total cost of the 10-day fight in 2012 to control the fire came to about $9 million.
A Forest Service investigation determined the fire sparked after someone burned trash in a rusted-out barrel at the Anderson home in the Little Horsethief subdivision.
Anderson's son, James Anderson III, owns the property.

Door rattles... still
Still having issues with the speakers and door rattles. Mainly on the tweeter on the driver door, the bottom panel of the passenger door and what sounds like the entire rear passenger door. Anyone else experience this? I took it to Ford and they "didn't hear anything" after having it all day and driving it four separate times apparently. This has been a constant thing and I've tried and failed to fix it. Any ideas?
I also got a nice rattle somewhere on my drivers side door or by the dash somewhere. It's been to cold out to actually try anything. But you learn to get use to it. Just listen to the radio lol nothing is perfect
I have a new rattle show up when it's SUPER cold and the car is cold idling. It's behind the instrument cluster and somewhere after the hump on top of it.
Then there's the stupid headliner one right behind the moonroof but I read about the foam fix for that.
Also the two rear doors, passenger side on the furthest most back part rattles, looks like felt will fix. Drivers side rear is right in the front and middle section felt should fix too. I can press on this with my arm to get it to stop when music makes it rattle
Just be aware sound travels in wierd ways. A Ford dealership tech told me he spent half a day trying to track down a rattle the customer swore was behind him in the rear seat drivers side area. Turns out it was the front passenger seat sun visor.
x2 about the sound traveling thing. I was experiencing a rattle after cold start during high-idle that sounded like it was coming from the headliner, but it turned out to be the dashboard right by the passenger A-pillar. A nice, hard closed-fist smack on top of the dash pad stopped it.
I have parked the car, turned on the radio and sat in the each seat and pressed the panels on the doors. I know where the rattles are coming from for sure now. I have tried felt and even a rubber apoxy to hold the panels together. Nothing seems to work. I would try to ignore it but the sound of the rattling is so loud that it is almost the same level as the music when it plays. When it gets warmer I am going to try and take the time to fix it for good.
Seriously though, I want to help by forwarding this to your regional customer service managers. So I can assist, please send me a PM with your phone number, full name, mileage, dealer details, and VIN.

I looked through both the API and the dev forum and couldn't find an answer. Somebody else posted the same question like a month ago and no one answered.
So devs, is there an API call for the Live videos and Coming up on Giant Bomb?
All I need is a way to pull the data when a live show goes up and acess to the schedule data would be great as well.
