Travis AFB / Fairfield, CA meet
Really just want to start a thread just to see what would happen. My wife and I just moved to Fairfield and am stationed at Travis AFB. I would love to do a lil weekly/monthly meet and occasional cruise. I have seen a lot of subbies on base and always give the double honk and wave. I am the white bugeye with the white wheels. (they are quite dirty but they are white underneath all that dirt). white on white.
Who: All members here are invited, but bring a guest - a gf/wife, a friend with another car, whatever.
Where: I am not currently sure where the meet should take place. An open parking lot at some grocery store type. This is up to the group so post suggestions.
When: Time and day of the week should also be agreed on by as many people in the group as possible. Would prefer it be a weekend day. Even though I know everyone has crazy schedules.
I would like the meet to go like this:
Show up, meet and talk with every one. We eat. Following dinner or lunch, we head out and do a little drive around. The cruise section we could only do once a month or something. Probally not weekly for that section but as everything else up to decide.
So post up suggestions times, places, places to cruise. And lets get this thing started!
check [url=http://www.i-club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=116]Sacramento & Reno - i-Club[/url]
in meetings, events, and group streaking I think theres some good meets going, or post up there. Its better for the norcal area, wrxtuners.com is way better for getting any kind of help because the people on here know these cars and can always help in some way, but for local stuff check the link
I live in lake county Ca about 1 hr 20 min north of fairfield i been looking for some meets but havent found any out here let me know when you guys meet up willing to drive out there

Once again, it's time for our weekly Q&A session. Up this week is Bloguin's own Ultimate NYG. Andrew Furman, the site's lead blogger, was kind enough to answer our questions despite having gone through Hurricane Irene this past weekend and having some rather short notice with the Giants preseason game vs. the Jets being moved back. On the flip side, answering a few questions is the least he could do after Super Bowl XLII.
Sorry, don't ask me why I brought that up.
I would give the Giants a B on their draft. They drafted some good players, but I really felt that they needed to address OL and LB much sooner with Castonzo in R1 and Moch/Wilson in R2. They chose to ignore those two positions and lo and behold, in camp they are forced to move Kiwanuka over to LB and they cut O'Hara, Andrews and Seubert almost immediately. It is nice to live in a bubble and not draft for need, but those players were available and went soon thereafter.
2. Do you think that DE Osi Umenyiora will be a distraction for the rest of the season with his contract?
3. Who will Eli Manning miss more? Steve Smith, Kevin Boss, or Plaxico Burress?
4. The big injury for the G-Men was the torn ACL to Terrell Thomas. How will the Giants rebound from that at the cornerback position?
5. Who is on the hot seat more: Tom Coughlin or Jerry Reese?
6. How do you think the Giants will finish this season?
Well, I was trying to wait until all of the preseason games were in the books, but I will let it leak early that I am thinking 7-9. The NFL is such a weak league and everyone will s*ck early, so the Giants will get out of the gate against an easy schedule and win 4 or 5 of the first 7 games. But that will not matter- the last 9 are a very tough set of games, and the Giants can easily lose 6 if not 7 of them. So if you hear the early hype on the Giants, don't buy it. If the Giants finish the first 7 games with 3 or a poor-quality-4 games won, it could get ugly.


text: The goal of Santa Barbara's Community Environmental Council is a net zero consumption of fossil fuel in the county by 2033 (see www.fossilfreeby33.org), and therefore a zero emitter of CO2. This nonprofit organization has sponsored numerous technical studies exploring renewable energy production and energy conservation, and most recently our present economic study. This presentation brings together the information of the technical studies, exploring the future mix of tangible energy sources that can render the central coast carbon neutral. Wind power plays pivotally into the production of renewable energy, and methods of mitigating the power source's variability are discussed along with demand response mechanisms. GREET is used to estimate vehicle turnover rates and future fleet mileage as well as alternate fuel penetration. Lastly, we estimate the amortized cost to the consumer, which is negative Santa Barbara constitutes approximately 1% of California's population and energy consumption. The analysis is in progress and will hopefully be extended to San Luis Obispo as well as Ventura, and displayed as an example/challenge for other communities. While the forecasting methods are not exhaustively rigorous, discussion is broad and will hopefully be thought provoking. Listener input will be appreciated.

Why I am Worried About Being at AWP
In 1987, something strange began to happen to me. My eyesight began to deteriorate rapidly. I was a graduate student in New Brunswick, Canada, and at the time, I could afford to see a specialist. They took me through a barrage of tests over the course of a year, and in that year, my eyesight got worse and worse. In a year, I was legally blind and spectacles could do nothing for me. I functioned, but the whole world seemed a veritable blur. People who came close to me, I knew, but those who were a few yards away were quite blurry. I could make out shades of skin and some features but I was struggling to see. It was frightening. Then, after many tests and long distant rides to St. John, New Brunswick from Fredericton, where I lived, I was fitted with a pair of gas-permeable hard contact lenses. I remember heading to the newspaper office on campus where I worked, and I saw people I had been working with for a year, for the first time. Some of those folks were stunningly beautiful, but many of them were startlingly ugly. There was a beauty in their softened blurred features, but with all that light and color running riot in my eyes, it was sometimes hard to bear so much reality. The prospect of sightlessness changed me, I think. For almost two years I was contending with the possibility that I, an English scholar and someone who hoped to be a serious writer, was going to have a hard time seeing at all. For much of that time, it was not clear from the doctors that anything could be done. I remembered that both my grandfathers were blind when they died–they had lived relatively long lives, but blindness came and consumed them; and now, here I was facing a similar fate before I was thirty years old. The contacts gave great relief. But their fragility and my sheer dependence on them left me with a tremendous sense of vulnerability that has never left me.
My problem was a congenital cornea disease that apparently skips a generation. Eight years after being fitted with the contacts, my eyes began to reject the lenses. I was told that there was little else that could be done except to have cornea transplants. By then I was enough of a poet to realize that sight, perspective, light, and shadow were being shaped into motifs for my work because of these treacherous eyes of mine. I now see through a stranger's corneas and they have been faithful to me for thirteen years. I no longer wear contact lenses. I wear spectacles. But a crave light. I get very annoyed when I am assigned a basement classroom for my classes and I demand being put where there are large windows. I like hotel rooms with huge windows. I pick my offices for their windows. I am very happy where there is bright light. When i am asked what I need to be in place for readings, I say, "lots of light, a bottle of water, a podium or music stand, and lots of light".
The problem with large hotels is that they have long dimly lit corridors. When these hotels are used for conferences, the corridors and lobbies are the meeting place, the town square, the place where you look for the stars and try to catch the eye of someone who may help your career, or you try to greet people who know you and who you may not have seen in a while. And at these conferences, they come at you rapidly, in waves of faces, bouncing, moving, bobbing and weaving through the shadow and slight light. All of this is exciting if you can see. For me, it is a nightmare. I look directly at people, I sense that they are smiling, but I don't know who i am looking at. Sometimes the distance is far enough for them to get offended enough to drift further away from me when they are passing. Occasionally, they will come up to me and shout, "What you don't know me again?" or worse, "Oh, you are too good to talk to your old friends now." And it is all in fun, but I can't explain that the truth is I did not quite see them. The problem is that I do see them, but what i am seeing is a shadow, not enough for certainty. Sometimes it is like what happens when I am driving at night, and the street sign hurtles pass, and I can't catch in time to do something about it. Then it is too late. I have to turn around and get back to the spot and make my way in.
The problem also arises when I am reading. At readings, I look into an audience and I am able to make out the faces of the folks who are sitting in the first few rows. beyond that, I won't be able to tell. Not really. And what folks don't realize is just how much communication goes on with eyes, with lips, and with the turn of a head the subtle movement of a hand. It is lost on me. I never see any of it. So it can be quite embarrassing, really, when I have looked straight into someone's face, and have not registered who he is. Usually that person has done the math, gone through the roller desk in the brain, come up with my name while they are checking me out at a distant. I have no such luxury. Usually, the second I recognize a face ("hey, I know this person!") I am supposed to be able to say, "Hey, Joe!" Well, I am just now trying to work out who this face belongs to, where do I know it from, and what name is normally affixed to the name. Its that street sign, zipping away from me, all over again.
The thing is, I am not blind. I can see. And under most other circumstances, I function fine. But in this helter-skelter world of making connections at these conferences, trying not to offend, "networking", schmoozing and all of that, my handicap makes me scared of those hotel corridors. So I would like to make a disclaimer right here and right now while I can for anyone who tries to make eye contact with me at AWP in one of the dark corridors. If I don't seem to remember your name, or if I look blankly at you when most people who know you would start to show some familiarity, and if I struggle to remember your name, and if I walk past you without saying hello even though I seem to have been staring at you all along, it is not arrogance or the lack of social graces. I just can't see so good. So do be patient.
ps. Confession: Sometimes being handicapped like this has its uses. At least I don't have to keep coming up with small talk to fill up awkward pauses.

US Highway 36 finance deal to get public airing
BOULDER, Colo. - State transportation officials are holding public meetings about a deal that would allow a private company to take over the operation of the highway between Denver and Boulder for the next 50 years.
The first is Wednesday in Westminster and the second will be in Louisville on Thursday, following a briefing with state lawmakers concerned about the deal.
Plenary Roads was chosen by the Colorado Department of Transportation to perform $425 million in construction on U.S. Highway 36 under the state's first private-public partnership. The company will collect tolls from new lanes and will maintain and plow the highway.
CDOT says it would take 20 years before there would be enough public funding for such a project.
The deal is expected to close by month's end.

The Great Bunion Cover Up..
I bet the name of this post totally drew you in..
Nothing like "take a look at my bunions" to cause people to pull the old "I've got an urgent phone call"
and turn around and run. But, I am determined to be transparent in this blog.. to a point.. So I am
going to share my deepest, darkest, ugliest secret.. Yes, I am announcing to the
entire world ( because you know they all read my blog) that I, Mrs. Little Brown House,
have a bunion problem. Bunions are those ugly bumps that grow out the side of your foot
right beside the big toe.. am I still drawing you in?? They are formed because idiot women
spend years with their size nine foot stuffed into a high pointy heel, because they think
it makes them look skinny.. at least that is what I have heard through the grapevine..
So every summer I see women of all ages flitting around in those adorable, simple, flip-flops,
and I feel a huge fire of envy rise up inside. You see, flip-flops would show my unsightly bunions.
Ok – I will show you one, but just once – and only in black and white because it is
way less scary that way. People with weak stomachs should scan past this..
(cue Psyco "EE" "EE" sound)
Those of you who threw up in your mouth a little are now excused..
Ok – so that pic doesn't make them look so bad – I will show you another one later.
(That is meant to entice you to read all the way to the end of the post. Let me know if it worked..)
So today I decided to try and make flip-flops that would work for me.. As you get older
you learn that a lot of making yourself look good involves hiding or disguising things..
If you aren't there yet I know you won't believe me.. but it is coming
So here are some cute little white flops. They even have a tiny platform because I am still
a believer in the whole "Tall equals Thin" fantasy. Please don't take it away from me.
I decided to use some black ribbon and a pair of broken earrings for my masterpiece.
You could just as easily do this with buttons, or flowers, or clips – use your imagination!
In fact – you could even do this if you don't have bunions to hide and just like a cute flip-flop!
I began by tying a knot in the ribbon, onto one side of the rubber strap.
Can you honestly believe I am doing a tutorial on how to tie a bow?
Then the bunny goes under the tree and through the hole – or something like that..
So – you have a bow. Be sure it is on the same side as your bunion… I didn't the first time.
Yep, I have obviously put one to many bunnies under the tree…
(if you figure out what that means, please share)
Now – for the exciting part!!!
I brought out the infamous
Which I first encountered in my Diy ring making post. You can read about it here:
The Secret Life Of A Crafting Blogger
I put some of the glue on the back of my earring. I think any kind of glue would work – even a hot glue gun.
Just an FYI – this glue has life threatening properties, as described on back in .05 size font..
I clamped the button to the bow as I let the glue dry.
Are these not the most adorable clamps you have ever seen! I got them at Home Depot
for .40 each! Why is everything so much cuter in miniature? Now I am looking for a mini
drill and nail gun to complete my set.
As promised – here is a picture of both my bunions – unretouched.. and my feet are even a little
swollen from my high blood pressure meds. ….
Oh my goodness just shoot me now….
So – here is the debut of my yucky bunion infested feet hidden behind
my new "Bunions Be Gone" fip-flops –
So tell me the truth,
and I am asking for extreme, unbridled, honesty here –
And I know my readers will give it to me..
Don't you wish your Grandma was hot like me?

First visit here…..I have bunions, too. Not from high heels—hereditary. But they're still ugly and I actually search for flip-flops and sandals that make them less noticeable. Sometimes the straps can do it without embellishment. Keeping my toenails painted makes people look at them, not the bunions! Lol.

When I saw the name of your post, I knew exactly what you were saying. I have them too – high heeled pumps even when I was 9 months pregnant!!! I too, envy everyone I see in flip flops while I have to hunt for a pair of shoes that are attractive and hide those ugly bumps. I can't wait to try this. My daughters will flip (sorry for the pun, I couldn't resist).

I don't have bunions, but I do have (I can't believe I am saying this out loud) unsightly peeling on the underside of my feet. How do I hide THAT in flip-flops, huh?
7 years ago
HA! You are too funny. You flip flops are adorable but your bunions are worse to you then they are to anyone else. We all have something that drives us crazy though and no one will ever convince us differently. Mine are my elbows, they are too pointy. I hate them, my feet though I like.

Oh PLEEASE, my bunion has a name (Bunny) and I see her lil sister is growing rapidly on the right foot!!Did you hear me scream in Idaho when I dropped a full bar of Dove soap on her in the shower?!?!And yes, it is hereditary.Thanks, Mom. Oh and BTW, I do love the flips…

Love you comments. BTW, your bunions are tame compared to mine. Wish a good shoe designer would design for us!! I have one pair on sandals that I wish I could copy, they hide the bump, but are still cute. Will try the bow trick! In the mean time, if anyone knows of a shoe store/company that makes CUTE "hide the bump" sandals, please pass it on.

I am always searching for sandles that can cover the bunion and still look fashionable-can you recommend any sites to help me

Hello and – may I say, I love you!
I found your flip flop cover-up idea a while back, and I'm just back from Australia where I wore my be-ribboned flip flops most days, and was very very happy with them. I almost felt like I had … pretty feet!!
I wanted to exactly copy the ones you'd done, but couldn't find ribbon quite so wide, so I went off-menu with a double-bow arrangement, which worked quite well I think. One bow on top of the other, with four ends. Can I post a photo somewhere? I've taken one specially to show the group
And feeling confident, on another day, I just tied ribbons onto a pair of flip flops, no glue, no buttons, and went out on the town like that. (Ok I had to keep re-tying the bows from time to time but sssh I think I got away with it …)
To think of all the conversations I've had with medics and podiatry people about bunions and whether surgery's an option etc. Turns out all you need is ribbons!! And nail varnish for that extra-groomed look.
Thank you again

I love a good mashup and this is a good mashup. What do you get when you cross Despicable Me with the Pirates of the Caribbean? Well naturally you get a Captain Jack Sparrow.
This rather excellent drawing was done by AtomiccircuS using markers and color pencils. I think he's done a great job of capturing the look of Captain Jack while still making this a suitably miniony minion.

Category:Imperial Automobile Company
English: The Imperial Automobile Company of Jackson was formed by the brothers T.A. and George N. Campbell in 1908, who also ran the Jackson Carriage Company. Imperial produced mid-size cars with four-cylinder engines; the bodywork and mechanicals were primarily off-the-shelf rather than bespoke. Coachwork was done out-of-house by Beaudette Company, which also did work for Buick and Ford. Car production lasted until 1916.

The story of Mark Vickery and family9:01
24-year-old Jasmine Vickery's late husband's dying wish was to marry her. The family share their journey in this touching video.
WITH less than two weeks left to live, cancer sufferer Mark Vickery had only one dream to cross off his bucket list - to marry the love of his life.
When doctors told the 27-year-old at Christmas his time was running out, his friends, family and hospital staff rallied to make his dying wish come true.
In 18 hours, they fast-tracked a wedding certificate and secured a donated wedding dress, bridesmaid's dresses, flowers and a cake.
St Vincent's Hospital catering staff made sandwiches and fruit platters for the reception, while nurses dressed Mark in a shirt and tie and decorated the ward with rose petals and pot plants from the hospital's foyer.
At 2pm on December 29, Mark married his sweetheart Jasmine from his hospital bed in the waiting area of ward 9.
The couple read their vows surrounded by about 30 friends and family, including hospital staff who had come in on their day off. Their daughters Nakiesha, 5, and Sieana, 3, were the proud flower girls.
That night, Mark told his wife he "knew it was his time". Four days later, he died peacefully in his sleep with Jasmine by his side.
"It was our rainbow in the middle of the storm," Jasmine, 24, said from her Central Coast home. "We knew we didn't have forever to spend together, which made us a bit sad and angry. But I hadn't seen the smile on Mark's face that day since the first time we met.
"It was the day we'd been waiting for for so many years and we finally got there.
"We finally got the chance to confess our love for one another."
Mark's battle began in August last year, when he had an unexplained seizure and fell ill with what doctors diagnosed as tonsillitis. After antibiotics didn't work, a blood test and bone marrow biopsy confirmed he had a rare and aggressive form of myeloid leukaemia.
Mark spent most of the next 17 months
Jasmine described her late husband, whom she met in 2006, as a selfless, fun-loving man with a big heart, who lived for his family and always put others before himself. The pair were simply best friends.
"His last thoughts were never about himself, his only concern was how we would survive without him," she said.
"Mark wanted his story told, he wanted people to know what it was like to walk this path, that it's not always a happy ending."
Jasmine is adjusting to life without Mark. She is focused on finishing her HSC, studying psychology at university and is trying to make life as normal as possible for her daughters.
"I told them Daddy's bus had come to take him to heaven, and while we won't see him we can always look to the clouds and see him up there," she said. "My daughter has a lovely theory about where everybody goes when they die - children go to the moon, old people go to the sun, the mums and dads go to the stars, and all the animals live in the clouds."
The San Remo community has set up a charity on Facebook in Mark's honour, The Mark Vickery Fund. A fundraiser will be held on February 10 at Doyalson RSL.
Jasmine is also urging people to donate to St Vincent's Hospital Tree of Life or The Leukaemia Foundation.
St Vincent's Hospital manager Ann Morrice said the wedding was a humbling experience. "Everybody felt absolutely privileged," she said.

A Cautious Eye on Investment Banks
Back in February, based on the rolling 12-month relative price performance through Feb. 23, I cautioned that the momentum for the financial services subindustry was waning (BusinessWeek, 2/27/07). Since then, the S&P 1500 Investment Banking & Brokerage index has fallen 12.1%, while the S&P Composite 1500 (consisting of the large cap S&P 500, MidCap 400 and SmallCap 600 Indices) has risen 1.9%.
This week, many of the I-Banks report quarterly earnings, with Lehman Brothers (LEH) kicking things off on Sept. 18 (BusinessWeek, 9/18/07). After two months of weathering a credit crunch, how will they fare, and what will share prices likely do in the near-to-intermediate term? Based on momentum alone—since the trend and moving average are still heading south—it appears to me that near-to-intermediate term weakness will persist.
Take a look at the accompanying chart of the subindustry index's rolling, 12-month price performance compared with that for the S&P 1500. Any point above 100 indicates sector out-performance vs. the S&P 1500 over the prior year, while points below 100 show sector under-performance. The red line is a rolling, nine-month moving average, while the two green bands indicate one standard deviation above and below the index's longer-term mean relative strength.
Long Term Prospects Weakened
Should those investors who are still exposed to this subindustry stay put? Matthew Albrecht, the analyst who covers stocks of the I-Banks for S&P, has a neutral fundamental outlook on the subindustry. Although he believes recent events suggest a slowdown in the investment banking business due to widening credit spreads and the resultant decrease in sponsored finance activity, Albrecht thinks strong corporate balance sheets and relatively resilient corporate credit markets suggest strategic acquisitions should support profitability in the sector for the remainder of 2007.
Still, the industry faces tough comparisons vs. last year. S&P also expects continued volatile growth in commission revenues in the near term, but Albrecht believes long-term prospects have weakened. He believes that price-to-earnings multiples for many of the stocks in the industry have been pressured, and the analyst expects that price-to-book value ratios will stagnate somewhat as balance sheets of some of companies are scrutinized.
Despite difficult comparisons, a number of companies in the industry posted year-over-year improvements in revenues and earnings for the second quarter and first half of 2007. Revenues from investment banking had remained strong on mergers and acquisitions advisory and debt underwriting fees—with trading revenues providing positive upside—and benefited from an increase in volatility. The online brokers have seen typical seasonal volatility, but a business more focused on asset gathering has lent a measure of predictability to results.
Underperformance Traced to Subprime
Albrecht expects the companies in the industry—which recently were increasing global headcounts in order to capture potential deals—to slow hiring somewhat, as the operating environment has come into question. S&P expects that U.S. headcount may decline, while hiring should continue overseas in an effort to broaden revenue exposure to diverse economies, thereby mitigating some risk. Albrecht sees increased price competition among brokerage firms and expects online discount brokers to continue to expand operations in order to attract more long-term investors.
S&P believes the group's relative underperformance can be traced to exposure to subprime mortgages and resultant market turmoil that has affected worldwide credit markets. Despite recent weakness in the subindustry, Albrecht believes valuations are appropriate at this time, as the group is trading at a wide discount to p-e multiples of both the S&P 500 and the subindustry's own 10-year historical average.
So there you have it. The I-Banks' near-term momentum continues to deteriorate, yet the group's longer-term fundamental outlook is neutral.
Industry Momentum List Update
Here is this week's list of the industries in the S&P 1500 with Relative Strength Rankings of "5" (price performances in the past 12 months that were among the top 10% of subindustries in the S&P 1500), along with a stock with the highest S&P STARS (tie goes to the highest market value).

Dec. 8, 2004 - It took 11 games and one quarter of another before its defense finally buckled. After that, however, no one was going to move the ball on the Marana Broncos' Pee Wee squad.
For the first time all season a team found the green pasture of the end zone on the Marana Broncos who steam-rolled their way to the program's first ever national championship Dec. 4 in Orlando, Fla.
Last year's defending champs, the Englewood Seminoles, proved to be no match for the Broncos who handily won the national title game by a score of 30-12. The biggest shock, on an otherwise seamless run to the championship, came in the second quarter of the game against the Seminoles.
With the Broncos up 16-0, the Seminoles managed to reel off a few runs up the middle and eventually found the end zone for a touchdown.
"They were a little bummed out," said Broncos head coach Steve Karp of the team's first blemish on defense. Not long afterwards, the Seminoles took advantage of a rare Broncos lapse on defense and scored for the second time in the quarter. The Broncos only had 10 men on the field.
Clinging to a 16-12 halftime lead, Broncos coaches sat down with their players to regain their focus. The Seminoles never had a chance after that.
"That team went absolutely nowhere," said Karp of the Seminoles in the second half. "There was no way they (the Broncos) were going to let them score again."
The Broncos defense was so dominant in the second half they yielded just one first down.
KaDeem Carey scored three touchdowns and Malcolm Millner added a 35-yard scamper of his own as the Broncos routed the Seminoles. Karp's crew even had two long touchdown runs called back because of penalties.
Before the Broncos could play the Seminoles in the championships game, first they had to get through two squads from Chicago.
Both the Shabbona Saints and the Leiden Bears proved little resistance for the Broncos, who won handily 26-0 and 37-0 respectively.
In claiming its title, the Pee Wees became the first squad of the Broncos' six football teams to win on the national level in the team's 20-year history. The girls cheer program has won national championships before.
The Broncos now return to Tucson for one more game. The Pee Wees will take on the Eagles, a team from the Southeastern part of Tucson in the inaugural Dust Devil Classic Dec. 11 at Marana Middle School, 11279 W. Grier Road.
Also playing in the all-day event will be the Broncos' Midget, Junior Pee-Wee and Mitey Mite teams. Attending the bowl game will be the Lakeside Longhorns from Lakeside, Calif. who will square off against the Broncos' Mitey Mites at 8 a.m. and the Tucson Raiders' Junior Midgets at 1:15 p.m.
In other games the Broncos' Midgets, the Division II Tucson city-champs, will face the Tucson Scorpions at 3:15 p.m. while the Junior Pee-Wee's, also the Division II City Champs, will face the Tucson Wildcats. Kick-off for that game will be at 9:45 a.m.

Will the noise reduce if installiing drywall on a glassless window?
What I am trying to do is reduce noise people conversations outside my window. So what I would do is take the glass out from the window and put drywall, called quietrock, and glue it with green glue and screw it also.
Will that reduce at least some noise from outside?
Why remove the glass? Just use double faced tape and stuck it to the glass.
A much better solution might be to make sound deadening shutters.
Motels use very thick curtains to deaden outside noises.
I'm just tossing out ideas---Mike---
This would be an excellent solution to reduce noise in a trailer park.:whistling2:... Just make sure that you use some duct tape in there somehow.:thumbup:

Day Two Practice Report | Bowl Central
Offensive coordinator Al Borges and defensive coordinator Greg Mattison met with media on Tuesday (Dec. 24) as the Wolverines continue preparations for Saturday's Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against Kansas State.
Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Al Borges
Update on QB situation?
"Devin (Gardner) is still day-to-day, but if we playedyesterday, it would definitely be Shane (Morris)."
What is (Morris') comfort level?
"We've had a lot of time to get him ready and take the No. 1 reps, which he's never done before. He's come along nicely. He's studied hard. He's really worked at it. It's showed up because he's improved a lot from the first day we started bowl practices to today, which is natural because he has had the reps."
Not having practiced since November, how much could Devin Gardner play?
"Who knows? He knows the offense. That's what's good. If we could get him a few practices, I think he would become very functional because Devin's smart and he stays on top of things pretty good."
Do any young players stand out in practice?
"Not really. The biggest thing is that we don't have any disappointments. In recruiting, when you start playing them a bunch, you realize if they're any good or not. All our kids that I've seen so far, I think the coaching staff would agree, could play here. When, we're not sure. But I think they're all Michigan-worthy."
Are you scaling back the playbook for Shane Morris?
"Yes. As it becomes more apparent that he could be starting, we have to be very judicious about how we go about repping him in terms of what plays to run, the ones he knows the best and understands the best. So we're at that point now."
Do you become more conservative with a freshman?
"The biggest thing -- I don't care if a freshman's playing or a senior's playing, our goal is to be balanced. That's always been our goal, and we've lost that a little bit occasionally when we've turned the ball over more than we wanted. We went back and became more conservative, but lately we haven't been that way. So as long as we can keep the ball out of their hands, we're going to play the game the way we want to play the game, and that's with balance."
How are you approaching Devin's situation?
"He just assumes he's going to play, and that's the way we go about it. If for someone reason he doesn't, he doesn't. But we don't think any other way."
Defensive Coordinator Greg Mattison
Was practice a bit chippier today?
I don't know if it's typical of bowl practices. I think it's typical of teams that really are vested and teams that want to do well. I've been proud of these guys. They got hereyesterday, a four-hour flight, and came out on the practice field and they practiced as hard as they could practice. They're doing the right things and doing what you're asking them to do ... I like this defense. I like these kids. They're growing up. We'll see what happens in the game, but if they keep practicing like they're practicing, I think good things are going to happen."
Have they grown up more in recent weeks?
"It's almost in the last three weeks, either the young guys have really figured it out or they're saying, 'OK, we're not young anymore.' There's no longer where you really have to yell at them, correct them. They go hard and they try to do the things that you're asking them to do."
What do you fear the most from Kansas State's two quarterbacks?
"Well, you don't fear. But they present a challenge in that 15 (Jake Waters) can throw it and he's mobile. 4 (Daniel Sams) can run it and he can throw it enough to keep you honest. You've got a combination of two pretty good things right there. They've got a good offensive line, and their offensive line has started 40-some games each. They've got a good running back. It's going to be a good offense. Their wide receiver, (Tyler) Lockett, if you don't do a good job on him, he's going to get a quick one. They've got a very good offense."
Have you played anyone in the past few years who has been similar to their two quarterbacks?
"We were lucky enough to play for two years here against the best there is. Our quarterback two years ago was pretty darn good, Denard (Robinson). So we're going to see the speed in there. We faced some really good quarterbacks in the Big Ten. I don't know that you go into a game in the Big Ten where the quarterback doesn't have the ability to make it hard on you. We played against some good ones."
With the dual quarterbacks, are they similar to Northwestern in that sense?
"Somewhat. I'm a real strong advocate of the Northwestern quarterback (Kain Colter). I think that kid is really good. And I think this kid's really good too, No. 4 (Daniel Sams). The Northwestern kid is so quick, he'll make you break your ankles ... This guy's a little bit faster, but with some quickness."

I guess that theory is all shot to shit, eh?
Last week, the FBI issued its preliminary 2009 crime report, showing that the number of murders in the first half of 2009 decreased 10 percent compared to the first half of 2008.
I guess that theory is all shot to shit, eh?
Well if we massage the data like the global warming data we can add in the real data with a "correction" and fix the problem.
See... The data supports the assertion that Gun Control works.
well you just keep adding the figures till you get the answer your looking for.
just like how we got out of the recession so fast!

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) – one of a handful of genuine fiscal conservatives in the U.S. Congress – will be the keynote speaker for the South Carolina Republican Party's annual Silver Elephant Dinner this spring.
Hopefully U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.), Gov. Nikki Haley and fiscally left-of-center leaders in the S.C. General Assembly will be taking notes, right?
Dubbed the "Crown Prince of the Tea Party," Rubio pulled off a major upset in 2010 when he captured the U.S. Senate seat that most believed was a lock for "moderate" Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. He is frequently touted as a potential vice-presidential nominee as well as a leading 2016 presidential prospect.
Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, the 40-year-old Miami native (and son of Cuban immigrants) spent one term as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives.
This year's Silver Elephant Dinner will be held on May 19 at the Cantey Building on the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in downtown Columbia, S.C. For more information, contact the South Carolina Republican Party.

It's been a few days now since it came to light that Kristen Stewart cheated on her boyfriend Robert Pattinson with a 41 year old married director. In the days since K. Stew confirmed her affair, the world has been wondering what R. Pattz would do. Yesterday, we learned that the wax statue version of Pattinson is currently in mourning at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Hollywood but what of the flesh and blood Rob? Well … at last, we know. Moving trucks were spotted at the home that Rob shared with Kristen this weekend … very likely signaling that homie packed up his shizz and moved the eff out.
It was their first home together, a $6millon Los Angeles love nest where it was revealed Robert Pattinson wanted to almost certainly spend the rest of his life with soul mate Kristen Stewart. But Pattinson's world crumbled earlier this week as pictures of his girlfriend, 22, kissing 41-year-old Snow White And The Huntsman director and married father-of-two Rupert Sanders hit the newstands. And R-Patz as he is affectionately known to fans, wasted no time moving his belongings out of their shared home, and shortly after Kirsten is reported to have done the same. Later on in the day a larger truck appeared, spending hours at the plush home, which perhaps indicates the move is not temporary as the the lorry had space to store large furniture items. People are reporting that one day after he abandoned their shared Loz Feliz mansion, she followed suit and is no longer there either. They are also said to not be on speaking terms.
Whitney Houston once asked, Where Do Broken Hearts Go? Well, now we know … they get packed up inside moving boxes and they find new places to live. There had been some hope among the rabid Robsten fanbase that the pair would be able to weather this storm and stay together … methinks that is not what is going to happen. Yes, even tho Rob moved out the pair *could* stay together and reconcile but … I doubt it. This betrayal is so public … so embarrassing … I find it hard to believe that the couple's relationship can be repaired. BUT, if Rob and Kristen truly have a love affair like that of fictional Twilight characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, then they will stay together FOREVER! Keep dreaming Twihards, dream on.

I have three new hives, they are about one month old. I have all three on screened bottom boards with plastic insert. Well I read many comments from beekeepers and came to the conclusion that the plastic inserts needed to stay in place to prevent to much ventilation. Wrong. Today I pulled one of the sheets and found Wax Moth larva crawling around on them. All three. About 20 larva on each board. Very few mites. Two small beetles, which I assume are SHB. The bees drop much pollen and wax onto the sheets, they cannot get at the sheet to clean it, the Wax Moths find it and here we go. For me no more closed wire mesh bottom boards. If it proves to be to much ventilation then I will replace with solid bottom boards. As a newbie I ask your guidance on this/these problems. Thanks.
Another point I have Bacillus thuringlensis subspecies kurstaki 15 % Can I spray this on an active hive? Or should it be only for spare frames and boxes? At the proper concentration of course. Is there a different subspecies for bees?
Thanks x2

A painful ankle injury made it difficult for Kurt Kugelberg to maintain a stable weight. "I always had trouble walking after I broke my ankle. This was one of the reasons that I started to gain weight, and eventually I reached 336 pounds."
But the 62-year-old Franklin Park resident got the help he needed when he enrolled in the bariatric care program at Loyola University Health System. He went through a three-month program of medically supported weight loss and then had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Within a year Kurt lost 120 pounds – and he's still losing weight.
Kurt's struggle with weight loss became more severe a few years ago, after he left his job and returned to the Chicago area to help care for his mother. He had an inactive lifestyle, which led to new medical conditions -- a heart rhythm problem, shortness of breath, sore joints and sleep apnea. "They put me in a hospital because my heart rate was too low. I was in a hospital for a couple of days and a heart doctor told me I had fatty liver and I was pre-diabetic," he recalled.
"That kind of woke me up."
So when his physician suggested he go to one of Loyola's free weight-loss seminars, he took the suggestion seriously. Kurt met with Bipan Chand, MD, the director of the Loyola Center for Metabolic Surgery & Bariatric Care, and together they agreed that Kurt would be a good candidate for a gastric bypass surgery. That started Kurt on a path of dramatic weight loss.
The staff at the center for bariatric medicine checked out his insurance information and requirements before he got started in the program. "They did all the legwork. That really helped the process."
Dr. Chand says that getting Kurt into an exercise program and changing his diet accelerated his progress. "Within a month after a surgical intervention, we encourage an exercise program," Dr. Chand says. "This includes weight and aerobic exercise to increase energy consumption – that helps jump-start the weight-loss." Soon Kurt was able to stop taking his medicine for diabetes and cut back on other medications.
Kurt committed to light exercises, like walking around the neighborhood, and taking a half-mile walk in the pool every day. And in June – less than a year after he joined the program – he walked in Loyola's Health, Hope and Heroes 5K event, completing it in an hour and six minutes. "I couldn't have done that a year ago," he observed.
Kurt noticed the big differences in his health after he joined the program. "Before I started to lose the weight I could barely walk a block or so and back without feeling a lot of pain."
Now, he says he hasn't felt this good since he was a high school student. "It's amazing. Even my ankle doesn't hurt me anymore."
Kurt appreciates the support he's gotten from the Loyola staff since his surgery, and that's one of the reasons he's recommending the program to his friends. He's received coaching from a dietician, a psychiatrist and an exercise physiologist. "They meet with you a couple of times throughout. … You feel very supported."

Yuba acquires fifth Japanese national belt
By Joe Koizumi
On the same night of a world title doubleheader in the same city of Tokyo, an unprecedented record was registered by a 36-year-old tall southpaw veteran campaigner. Tadashi Yuba (44-8-2, 32 KOs), 153.5, impressively acquired his fifth Japanese national belt in the 154-pound division by dispatching Yosuke Kirima (17-4-2, 12 KOs), 153.25, at 2:36 of the first round in a scheduled ten rounder on Monday in Tokyo, Japan.
The lefty six-footer sent Kirima sprawling to the deck with a southpaw left hook on three occasions to have the referee automatically declare a knockout on the three-knockdown rule. It took thirteen years that a lanky youngster Yuba gained his first national belt in the lightweight division in 2000 and then seized the titles in the super-light, welter and middle categories, and finally the throne in the super-welter class.
Yuba, once world-rated, doesn't belong to the world level any longer, but is still popular among our fight fans. He knows how to utilize his advantageous height and reach as well as his southpaw stance. Furthermore, he is an early starter that always tries to finish his work to bring home the bacon early.
As former Japanese super-welter champ Akio Shibata renounced his belt to concentrate on his defense of his OPBF middleweight throne, the 154-pound belt has been vacant. Yuba previously attempted to capture the super-welter belt, but failed to do so due to his defeats by Charlie Ota on a couple of occasions. Time helped his dream come true. Tonight the Japanese veteran finally did it. Congratulations.

Fan's view: Outdoor Vikings game will be too cool to miss
A longtime Vikings season ticket holder is looking forward to the cool factor of seeing an outdoor game, 29 years to the day since his last one in the Twin Cities.
The last game at the old Metropolitan Stadium was Dec. 20, 1981. Steve Shepherd, who owns Shep's on 6th in downtown Brainerd, was there. He didn't expect to have the opportunity again but on Dec. 20, 2010, Shepherd plans to among the chilled fans cheering on the Vikings at the 50th anniversary celebration and Monday Night Football game. Even without the comforts of the fallen Metrodome.
"I'm definitely going to go," Shepherd said. "I think the nostalgia of being outdoors will be incredible.
"You've got to be there."
The seating, on a first-come, first-serve basis, he expects to be a mess. It should be a long day of standing before the seating bit actually starts. Shepherd will be going with his usual crew of four and meeting up with about 15 to 20 other people at the game.
Plans are to leave Brainerd about 11 a.m., get to the Twin Cities and find a parking place, go eat, perhaps take in a few fortifying beverages and then stand in line. Shepherd expects to be out in the cold from 3 p.m. until 11 p.m. He said he's never left a game early and doesn't intend to now, no matter what the score.
Shepherd thought they may move the game to Lambeau Field in Green Bay instead of shoveling out the Gopher's TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota. But with the 50th anniversary celebration, a mammoth effort is going into keeping the game on Minnesota soil. The Bank will now be it's own version of the famed "frozen tundra."
"That's probably the only way they could've of done it," Shepherd said, adding he is curious to see what kind of turnout there is for the game. "I think just to say you were going to be at that game is going to be a cool thing."
Shepherd's been a season ticket holder since 1975 and said he hasn't missed a game. The coldest he remembers? A late 1970s game in December against the Philadelphia Eagles where the temperatures were about 15 degrees below zero. Conditions in the upper rows exposed to the breeze were described as bitter.
For Monday night's game against the Chicago Bears, Shepherd said there is a plan for attire.
"Layers and layers."
On top of the layers, a snowmobile suit, a few heat packs for fingers and toes and expectations for little exposed skin. Shepherd expects the experience to bring back memories of the Met stadium and come at an incredible bookend in terms of falling on the same date 29 years apart.
But it's been that kind of tumultuous season where even a snow collapsed dome and a frigid outdoor game may well fit in to the overall story. And one where diehard fans aren't likely to be put off by cold temperatures, lines to get in, or even fears of leaving a seat during the game in case another fan swoops in for one of the limited spots.
Shepherd said: "It's been a season where you can't make that stuff up."

If you are new for Windows 10 or 8.1 interface, then I'm sure you will be searching for the similar options as XP or Vista to make printer online from offline state. Usually printers go offline due to network or USB cable connectivity issue, paper jam, out of paper, any other printer hardware faults and some times printer driver corruption too. Mostly it will come back to online automatically when these issues are fixed, but sometimes you need to make a printer online manually and this guide shows you how to do it on Windows 10 or 8.1.
Making a printer online on Windows 10 or 8.1 is not like how we did in earlier Operating Systems such as XP, Vista (except Windows 7) by right clicking it and making online. Microsoft changed the way of making a printer online from offline in Windows 7 and on recent Operating Systems, we have already covered here how to make printer online in Windows 7.
How to Set/Make Printer Online on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1
1) Go to control panel.
On Windows 8.1 or 8, press Windows Key with I ( WIN+I) or by using charm bar or else use these ways to reach control panel from this guide.
On Windows 10, you can search for devices and printers by entering 'devices' as shown below and click on the 'Devices and Printers'. You can go to step 3 directly.
2) Click on Devices and Printers in Large or Small icons view of control panel.
3) Now you will be seeing the offline printer (slightly faded). Right click on it and select 'See what's printing'.
If the printer is in offline state you would be seeing the tick mark front of 'Use Printer Offline'. Remove the tick mentioned below and wait for some time printer to come online and resume printing.
If the printer comes online and goes offline again, that could be due to real connectivity or hardware issue on the printer. Better you fix those issues and restart the printer. Here are the few printer troubleshooting tips available for Windows 10 and 8.1.

If you are interest in music recording and production, here is the collection of Mac and Windows laptops.
If It Is A Shared Network Printer
If the printer still shows offline, then you need to check the settings of the computer where the printer is attached (if it's a shared network printer for you). The following settings need to be checked;
1) File and Printer sharing settings
2) Make sure the Network Discovery is turned on and Network sharing services is running
3) Check the firewall and Antivirus/network protection software. These programs might block the incoming connection to shared printer. You can find more details about these steps here.
If it is a network printer, you can find out the IP of the printer and check the communication. Since Windows 8 is something different from earlier Operating Systems, you can check here how to close metro apps.
Restart The Spooler Service
Sometimes this method helps in bringing back the offline printer to online mode on Windows 8.1 and 10. Instead of restarting the computer, you can stop and start the print spooler service (which is one of the Windows service). We have already published a detailed guide about restarting the print spooler in GUI of Windows OS that can be done by any users with administrative rights. Read the guide here.
Hope this small guide would be useful to make printer online from offline and vice versa in Windows 10 and 8.1. It should solve the problem mostly if your printer is not having any major hardware or network communication problem.

Talking Counterculture With Irvine Welsh, Author Of 'Skagboys' And 'Trainspotting'
E. Nusgart: What made you want to write, Skagboys, a prequel to the acclaimed movie and novel, Trainspotting?
I. Welsh: I had material that was left over from the original stories from Trainspotting before it was published. In order to establish character development within the prequel, I had to go back to the original. I went back to the original series to find they were quite delightful stories in themselves.
E. Nusgart: What character can you relate to the most?
I. Welsh: I can relate to them all. I can empathize with each character because each of them is a part of my persona. I've been able to walk in each one of their shoes. But if I had to choose, it would be Mark Renton because he's the character I write most about.
Much more from Irving Welch.
E. Nusgart: Just as we see Renton struggle with life in Scotland in his early twenties, was it difficult for you to find a place and direction in life when you were younger?
I. Welsh: Yes, it was difficult to sort the day out. When you are young, it's hard to choose what will benefit you the most. With all of the financial and emotional restraints, it was difficult for me to pick and choose what would lead me to the greatest satisfaction.
E. Nusgart: Since Mark Renton is somewhat of a self-destructive character not just to himself but to those around him, do you see him as a protagonist or antagonist?
I. Welsh: I guess a little bit of both. He is very idealistic but still awfully cynical. This is what makes him so vulnerable to drug abuse. He tries to attain basic human desires, yet when they aren't met he reverts to his negative thinking.
E. Nusgart: How do you feel about conformity?
I. Welsh: I think that the mainstream is a result of ideas that are politically correct. Still, when things get difficult in culture it becomes easier to turn to rebellion and anarchy.
E. Nusgart: How is Scotland different than the United States in terms of counterculture and drug use?
I. Welsh: In America, a lot of people save their partying for the weekend. In Scotland, there aren't as many opportunities so the use of drugs is more prevalent. In the states, people take drugs as a weekend item to have fun.
E. Nusgart: Why do you think people gravitate so much to the dark comedy that's interwoven within your book series?
I. Welsh: I think it's the characters more than anything, they can relate to the characters I've created because of their flawed nature and imperfections.
E. Nusgart: From the infamous scene at the beginning of cult-like film, Trainspotting, how do you personally, "Choose Life," on a day-to-day basis?
I. Welsh: Life is a beautiful thing, there are many gifts. You have to do the best you can. That's part of the mission in life; you can't give into all of the things that make you feel miserable. You need to absorb yourself in things that make you feel good. At some point of your life you have to get along with things and move forward.
Choose your future.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — After nearly five years of plunging revenue caused by ever-growing competition in nearby states, Atlantic City's casinos are regaining their footing.
Revenue at the 11 gambling halls fell less than 1 percent in September, a heartening development in the nation's second-largest gambling resort where revenues have been falling for nearly five years.
The casinos took in $294.7 million, which was down just 0.6 percent from September 2010.
Table games revenue actually increased last month, up 2.7 percent to $89.8 million. Slot revenue was down 1.9 percent, to $205 million.
For the first nine months of the year, casinos won $2.6 billion. That's down 7.8 percent from the same period in 2010.
Five of the 11 casinos reported revenue increases last month, led by the Tropicana Casino and Resort, up nearly 20 percent, to $30.3 million. Casino president Tony Rodio said the Tropicana's big month was due to success at the table games, where it has adopted a high-limits strategy designed to allow players to bet big hands.
"We're going to have months when we look great, and months when we look terrible," he said. "We're not concerned so much with the month-to-month swings. We're confident we're on the right path with this."
The casino also absorbed multi-million-dollar hits earlier this year caused by big losses to high-limit gamblers.
Rodio said the Tropicana's slots revenue increased by 4.3 percent — the first time since April 2008 the casino saw the amount it took in from slots increase compared with a year earlier.
Speaking of the city as a whole, Rodio said, "We're getting close to the bottom. We might not be at the bottom yet, but we can see it from here."
Other gainers included the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, up 11 percent to $58.8 million; Caesars Atlantic City, up 5 percent to $36 million; Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, up 1.8 percent to $37.5 million, and Resorts Casino Hotel, up 0.6 percent to $13 million.
The biggest decline was registered by Trump Plaza Casino Hotel, which is up for sale. Its revenue was down 21.6 percent to $10.9 million. The Golden Nugget, formerly Trump Marina, was down 17.9 percent to $10.6 million; and the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort was down 14.8 percent to $30.5 million.
ACH, the casino formerly known as the Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort, was down 11.3 percent to $12.1 million. The casino hasn't paid its taxes since the summer of 2009, has been seeking a buyer, and is widely believed to be in danger of closing if a new owner can't be found soon.
Bally's Atlantic City was down 5 percent to $31.6 million, and the Showboat Casino Hotel was down 4.6 percent to $22.9 million.
Don Marrandino, eastern division president of Caesars Entertainment, which owns four casinos here, said Atlantic City has been inching its way back in the second half of this year. He said August was shaping up as an excellent month before Hurricane Irene forced a three-day closure of the casinos, causing a historic monthly revenue plunge of nearly 20 percent.
"I think in August we really felt some wind in our sails, and the market in September had a decent month," Marrandino said. "I was pretty pleased.
"We're not out of it yet; there's still a lot of work to do, but I think this town should start feeling better about itself now," he said.

All about Ace
Decided to start this 1 thread as a journal/diary so i can look back later on and see how far i have come.
So this is all about Ace thread
Born March 12th 2014
5/21 : Ace came home with us.
5/22 : 1st Vet visit
5/23 : Ace moved to Scott's place 12 miles away cause he isnt allowed to stay with us due to breed restriction.
5/25 : Ace moved again to another place that is closer to mommy and daddy. Every morning we go to a park and chill there until i have to go work and i would pick him up again after work so we can spend more fun times and learn fun tricks.
5/29 : 1 ear go up !!
6/10 : Ear went back down
6/11 : we went to a dog park for the first time, and Ace wasnt too crazy about it ! We left after 10 minutes . The we went everywhere from a lake to Chipotle a Mexican restaurant.
6/20 : The storm is here Ace got diarrhea 2 days after we switched kibble to BB wilderness.
6/24 : Both ears are up in the morning but the diarrhea gotten worse in the evening .
6/25 : He was really sick so we went to the doctor.
6/26 : Finally the day i been waiting for ! We are moving out to a new place so that Ace can leave with us but got a call at 6 am that Ace mad a huge mess in his crate. So i went there ASAP to bath him and wash the crate then go back to start moving stuffs.. and it was a long day
. At 7 pm we were done with the big stuff but still had a lot of stuff to do. First thing first, we picked up Ace and he was doing so much better. No more vomiting and nasty stuffs. Me and my fiancee were exhausted but glad that we finally get to our new place.

Citation: Cluck, T.W., Biles, C.L., Dugan, M., Jackson, T., Carson, K., Armengol, J., Garcia-Jimenez, J., Bruton, B.D. 2009. Association of dsRNA to down-regulation of perithecial synthesis in Monosporascus cannonballus. Open Mycology Journal. 3:9-19. Interpretive Summary: In the last twenty-five years, soilborne diseases have become the yield-limiting factor in many cucurbit production areas around the world. Monosporascus cannonballus is one of the most important soilborne pathogens causing vine decline of muskmelon and watermelon. Currently there are no resistant cultivars to M. cannonballus and effective soil fumigants are restricted or banned in many melon producing countries. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the frequency of dsRNA (hypovirus) in Spanish isolates of M. cannonballus and to compare the presence or absence of dsRNA with production of perithecia and pigment formation. The variation in dsRNA banding patterns was used to group the Spanish M. cannonballus isolates into statistically independent dendrogram clusters. Results demonstrated that certain dsRNA patterns were associated with reduced perithecial formation. Insertion of the M. cannonballus hypovirus sequences into the plant genome holds the potential for a new resistance mechanism against this plant pathogen by inhibiting reproduction of the fungus following infection of the plant.
Technical Abstract: Monosporascus cannonballus is a soilborne fungal pathogen that causes vine-decline of muskmelon which results in reduced yield in many melon growing areas around the world. M. cannonballus isolates were collected from different provinces in Spain and experiments conducted to determine pigmentation, perithecial formation, and the presence of cellular dsRNA. Isolates were grouped based on dsRNA fragment sizes using cluster analysis and Elucidean distances. Three distinct dsRNA groupings were observed. Group 2 isolates containing 2, 3, and 3.5 kb dsRNA appeared to exhibit a decrease in perithecia production compared to the other groups. Group 1 isolates exhibited yellow pigmentation only, while Group 3 isolates expressed grey (wild-type) and yellow (degenerate) pigmentation. Isolates that did not contain dsRNA (Group 4) exhibited wild-type pigmentation. Down-regulation and variation in phenotype are hypothesized to be due to dsRNA/iRNA interactions with the fungal transcription mechanisms. Additional research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of regulation by the dsRNA of M. cannonballus.
