Two Town Hall Events Seek Input From Campus Community
Provost Dallas Rabenstein will give an update on the UCR budget and strategic plan; members of the chancellor search advisory committee are asking for feedback on key UCR issue
Two Town Hall meetings will be held in the upcoming week.
The first one will be held on Friday, Feb. 22, by the campus representatives to the chancellor search advisory committee, a group appointed by UC President Mark Yudof last December. The committee is involved in recruiting, screening and conducting interviews with candidates for the position; as such, it is encouraging UCR students, staff and faculty to give their input on the characteristics they'd like to see in the next permanent chancellor and give feedback on key leadership issues. The Town Hall will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the HUB, Room 302 South.
Those who are unable to attend may provide their input to the advisory committee at chancellorsearch.ucr.edu. The website also contains additional information about the search process, including a copy of the position description and a list of other advisory committee members.
Representatives for the upcoming Town Hall include:
- Jose Wudka, professor of physics and astronomy and chair of the Riverside division of the academic senate
- Yolanda Moses, professor of anthropology and associate vice chancellor for diversity, excellence, and equity
- Neal Schiller, professor of biomedical sciences and senior associate dean, School of Medicine
- Robert Wolfer, information technology officer, GSOE, and vice president of the UCR Staff Assembly
- Aaron Jones, Graduate Student Association
- Liam Dow, Associated Students of UCR
On Monday, Feb. 25, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Dallas Rabenstein will hold a Town Hall meeting from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the HUB, Room 302 North. He will discuss updates on the budget, faculty retentions, student enrollment, budget transparency, campus campaign and implementation of UCR 2020. The discussion will also be webcast in real time at provost.ucr.edu. In an email sent campuswide, Rabenstein asked UCR constituents to email questions and issues he should address at the Town Hall to firstname.lastname@example.com.

HP's Board Is Said to Be Reconsidering PC Spinoff Proposal
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ)'s board, which is discussing replacing Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker, also is reconsidering a proposal to spin off the personal- computer business, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
No decision has been made, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Board members are open to re-examining the plan now because some of them think the separation of the PC unit wasn't studied as thoroughly as other high-profile spinoffs, such as one by Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT), the person said.
The directors plan to meet to consider whether to oust Apotheker, less than 11 months after he took the job, two people familiar with the situation said earlier today. Under one scenario, the board may appoint Hewlett-Packard director and former EBay Inc. (EBAY) CEO Meg Whitman as his successor, possibly on an interim basis, one of the people said.
During Apotheker's tenure, Hewlett-Packard has cut its sales forecasts three times and his strategy shifts have left shareholders doubting his credibility. The company's stock plunged 47 percent on his watch before today, and "investor exasperation" with management is at its highest in more than a decade, Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said in a research report last week.
The spinoff would involve Hewlett-Packard's personal systems group, which includes the PC business. When Hewlett- Packard announced the proposal on Aug. 18, the company said the move wasn't necessarily a sure thing.
"There can be no assurance that any transaction regarding PSG will be pursued or completed," Hewlett-Packard said in a statement at the time.
Hewlett-Packard rose $1.51, or 6.7 percent, to $23.98 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.

Microsoft will make the first public beta of Windows 7, the next version of its desktop operating system, available as a free download on Friday. There are several limitations, however, so even if you're excited and committed to trying out Windows 7 Beta 1 on your home PC, check out this list of rules, requirements and considerations.
We culled this list from a post on the official Windows blog and its comments, so check it out before taking the plunge:
- Windows 7 Beta 1 was supposed to become available at 12:00pm Pacific on January 9, 2009, but the release was delayed. The Windows 7 page on Microsoft's website will host the download once it's ready.
- Update: Direct links courtesy of Steve Clayton, via NeoWin. If you use these links, you will still need to get a product key from Microsoft once the Windows 7 site updates or you will be restricted to a 30-day trial. You may also need to run a patch (check NeoWin or Steve's blog for details).
- Product keys will only be made available to the first 2.5 million people to register at Microsoft's official Windows 7 Beta site. Demand will be huge, so prepare to act quickly.
Microsoft has not announced a specific time on Friday for the release, but we can expect it will be later in the day so the west coast of North America isn't left out.Update: The beta will be available on Friday afternoon. Other links have surfaced, but they aren't 100% working and they aren't official anyway. Read the details in our newer post.
- Windows 7 Beta 1 will be offered as an ISO image. It's around 2.5 or 3 gigabytes, so you will need a DVD burner if you want to install it.
- You will be required to register before downloading so Microsoft can give you a product key.
- It will be build 7000.
- The beta will only support Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. If you're not running Vista SP1 right now, upgrade before you try to install the Windows 7 beta.
- There is also a clean install option for the Win7 beta.
- There is no upgrade path from XP.
- There's only one version of the beta, which Microsoft says "is roughly equivalent the Ultimate edition of Windows Vista."
- The Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1. You will probably be forced to go back to using Vista SP1 on August 1 (or maybe upgrade to Win7 Beta 2?).
- English, German, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi versions will be available Friday.
- Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions will be available (except for Hindi, which only gets a 32-bit version).
- If you're upgrading, remember to back up your PC. It's a beta, stupid!
If you miss out, there will be other ways to get the beta in the near future. It's likely Microsoft will be handing out hard DVDs of the code at developer events and consumer conferences throughout the year. And of course, (cough) there's always BitTorrent.
[Last Update: 2:10pm PDT. Thanks to our commenters for helping keep the info current!]

Will Mark Webber's 200th appearance end his woes?
The older driver on the F1 circuit needs to finish in the top two at the Bahrain GP to gain on the leaders in the drivers' standings.
Bahrain: With just three days to go for the Bahrain Grand Prix, Red Bull driver Mark Webber is in a big dilemma ahead of his career's 200th appearance. The 2013 season has also brought many troubles for the Australian.
This season, just two drivers have reached the milestone of hitting the circuit for the 200th time in their glorious career. Fernando Alonso of Ferrari achieved the feat at the Malaysian GP, where he failed to deliver and crashed out on the second lap at the rain-hit Sepang International Circuit.
Now, it's the turn of Red Bull's Mark Webber, who is on a roller-coaster ride this season. Webber, who joined Red Bull from Williams in 2007, will race for the 200th time at the Bahrain GP this weekend. Webber has nine GP victories in his career, all of them with Red Bull. The 37-year-old drove for Minardi, Jaguar and Williams before joining the Australian F1 team. Webber finished sixth in the season-opening Australian GP, then came in second at the controversial Malaysian GP at Sepang.
The questions started rising about Webber when three-time world champion Sebastian Vettel snatched victory from him in Malaysia by ignoring the team's order not to overtake him. As a result Webber, who could have been crowned as winner, had to contend with a second-place finish.
Webber also proved unlucky at the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend when he ran out of the fuel in the qualifying. He also faced an ouster after his rear wheel fell off in the first hour of the race after his car collided with Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne. Webber's agony didn't end there as he was given a three-grid penalty for this weekend's race after the collision with Vergne.
Vettel leads the F1 drivers' standings with 52 points ahead of Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen who has 49 points and Alonso who is on third with 43 points. Webber has just 26 after four races in the season. Burying the ghosts of Malaysia and Shanghai, Webber, recently tweeted "Yes folks really looking forward to the next GP, it's my 200th appearance."
To be in the top four in the drivers' standing, Webber needs to win the race or at least second finish. Winning the Bahrain GP will give him the second spot with just one point behind the defending champion, Vettel. A second-place finish will put the Australian at third ahead of Alonso. But a third-place finish will put Webber at fourth in the standings.
The relation between the two drivers- Vettel and Webber- has been soured after the German didn't allow him to win the race at Sepang. After a lot of debate on the three-time world champion, Red Bull's team management said, "Everything is settled between the two drivers and they will be working together".
But will Vettel be able to win Webber's trust again? This may be very difficult to say in the aftermath of the Malaysian GP controversy. Though Vettel apologised after the race, Webber may not be a helpful team-mate for the upcoming races.

Singer Omari is the latest artist to announce an upcoming novel.
The gospel artist told The Gleaner he recently completed his debut novel Why Me God?, which will be launched next month.
The distribution company behind the novel is none other than Page Turner Publishers, who also distributed D'Angel's Love Triangle, and Miss Kitty's Good Girl Gone Bad.
Omari told The Gleaner he had always been interested in writing.
"I have always been interested in writing, even based on how I write my songs. I always try to create a story line. This book will be useful in uplifting and inspiring persons. I try to reach different people. Some persons like to read, others like to listen. So now I have the book and my music. It's about trying different avenues of expressing what's in your heart," Omari said.
The 19-chapter book is slated for an October 12 release date and will be launched at Kingston Bookshop in Springs Plaza on the same day.
"This book is about a young man who went through a lot and he surpassed his struggles and was still able to shine. It's inspiring, it encourages and motivates people. It's definitely a good read; it's captivating," Omari explained.
Even with the release of his new book on the horizon, Omari said music was still his number-one priority.
"I'm still doing music, I actually have some tracks that I am mixing right now. I also plan to do a one-drop gospel reggae live album. I have also been approached to go into theatre, I like acting so you might see me in that role one of these days," Omari said.
The artist is also in talks to release a fragrance line.

The name of the four-month-old Wairoa boy who died in Starship Hospital overnight on Friday has been released by police.
He was Raynar-Lee Soljar Thompson-Hatley.
Provisional post-mortem results indicate that Raynar-Lee died from head injuries but the full results are not expected for several weeks.
Investigation head Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Greig yesterday said the possibility of charges would depend on the results.
"I don't want to even go there at this stage."
Police today said they were focused on establishing the events that led to the baby's initial hospitalisation at Wairoa on April 13.
The boy was rushed to Wairoa Hospital by ambulance from an address in Lucknow St. He was later transferred to Hawke's Bay Hospital and the next day to Starship.
Mr Greig said on Saturday officers were "very happy" with the co-operation of the infant's family.

The American Experience Of An Exchange Student
The Rotary Exchange Program is a wonderful opportunity to learn about different cultures and languages, and have new experiences that will influence you throughout your entire life. I am Carolina, a seventeen-year-old girl from Brazil.
Since I was young, I always wanted to be an exchange student and my family supported this idea.
I applied for the program, submitted my application, passed the interview process and then received the great news that I would come to Rockaway, NY.
When I arrived here in October, even with all the scary Halloween decorations, I realized how lucky I was to be in such a beautiful area. I could enjoy the end of the autumn and have fun on the "Trick or Treat" day. I attend Scholars' Academy High School, as a senior. In the beginning it was hard to understand the classes. However, now I can do the homework, follow the lessons and have good averages in the exams.
As time passed I could not believe how much I was learning and experiencing about the American culture. November was marked by Thanksgiving, and as a tradition of my first host family, the Hansons, we went upstate and enjoyed a hearty holiday meal, including turkey and delicious apple pie.
Christmas spirit appeared in the windows and gardens and all the lights began to shine on the city as the 25th was approaching. On the radio, the music was announcing the beginning of "the most wonderful time of the year."
Being away from my Brazilian family and friends was not easy on the holidays, but as an exchange student I couldn't waiver and give up. Indeed, there are moments that everything becomes harder and you want someone to be responsible for your problems and make your decisions, but you need to figure things out yourself. After a while, everything became more familiar and not as different as I thought it was.
Time is passing so fast that sometimes I wish I could stop it. With the New Year I have moved to my second host family, the Walshes. I just want to enjoy every moment and learn the most I can.
This experience is also an opportunity to reflect about your life, about the different way people think; to learn, enjoy, and respect the different culture and believe in your capability to make a difference, and achieve the Rotary Exchange Program's purpose, world peace.

Childhood Obesity Tied to School Lunches
It's no secret that portion sizes have increased over the last 60 years. The CDC just released a shocking graph showing just how much that increase has been.
Another shocker: chocolate bars today are about 1,233% larger compared to the early 1900's. It's no wonder why the country is suffering from an overweight and obesity epidemic- one that was unheard of only 3 decades ago!
But it's not just the fast food sizes that have increased. School lunches have also grown in size and calories, and have decreased in nutrition.
School Lunches and Obesity
Researchers have pointed to another cause for childhood obesity, the school lunch! In fact, school lunches have gotten so bad that they're impacting today's obesity rates. A survey taken from 1973 to 1974 compared to a survey taken in 2003 to 2004 showed that the prevalence of obese school-aged children jumped from 4% to a disturbing 18.8%!
A recent study found that students who regularly ate school lunches were 29% more likely to be obese compared to those kids who brought their lunches from home.*
There are many factors contributing to fattening and unhealthy school lunches. This article won't go into all the factors or politics involved, but I wanted to mention a few things. One major factor is budget. It can be challenging to come up with school lunches that are both inviting and healthy, while keeping prices low. The unfortunate result is that many schools rely on high energy, yet low nutrient value foods to fill up their students.
Other factors are the special school programs some schools offer to get more revenue. In schools where the surveys were held, there were regular "Tater-Tot days", which really is as unhealthy as it sounds. Other schools have an a la carte menu.
The Problem with a la carte
A la carte selections aren't subject to any health guidelines which the school is required to follow, as these are not the lunches that are served "free". Students who wish to have a la carte lunches have to pay for these, and since they're paying customers, they're automatically provided with more selections. Given that, the student doesn't necessarily have to choose the healthier option.
Fortunately, there's some light at the end of this dark tunnel. A federal law was passed late last year that is said to limit the amount of calories in every school meal. The Department of Agriculture said that they will also require programs to offer more fruits and vegetables.
Help Your Kids Have a Healthier Lunch
I don't think we should depend on the government to provide optimal nutrition for our kids or families. There are things that we can do for ourselves, and our children, to encourage them to eat healthier. Here are a few suggestions:
- Brown Bag Solution. Make healthy lunches at home and pack them for your kids. Obvious, but effective. If you have picky eaters, have them help. Plan out meals together, do the shopping together, and prepare the lunches together.
- Feed them a healthy breakfast. Breakfast can do wonders in controlling obesity levels. Eat an omelet and a Berry Smoothie instead of cereal.
- Write to your local schools. Community action may be what it takes to get the schools in your area serve healthier meals. Join other concerned parents and students and request healthier meals.
I'd love to hear from you:
What are some healthy lunch ideas that have worked for your kids?
Sources: natural news, nytimes, smu.edu, cdc, mayo clinic
*(The study was conducted on about 1,000 students from Michigan, all from different schools, and looked at where these kids were getting their lunches, and what they were eating).

Mike Piccione, Human Events
Back door gun control is the phenomena where an entity will enact a law that indirectly affects your right to keep and bear arms. It's easier to pass legislation that harms Second Amendment rights when it does not directly require the citizen to surrender a gun.
Examples of back door gun control are:
Define ammo components as an unhealthy threat. Environmental laws designed to outlaw the use of ingredients that comprise components of arms related materials. The easiest example to point to is lead. Lead has long been the primary ingredient of bullets. Designating lead as an environmental hazard means that its use can be tightly controlled, and therefore restricted. Restrict lead and you restrict bullet production. Restrict bullet production and you dilute the ability to purchase ammo through increased materials cost.
Tax it if it shoots. In 1993 New York Senate Democrat, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, proposed that taxes on handgun ammunition be raised to 50 percent on most handgun ammunition and 10,000 percent on 9mm hollow points. Taxes are the quick and dirty way to legislate something out of existence. Currently there is an 11 percent tax on ammo.
Engineer the practicality out of it. Force manufacturers to have a biometric mechanism that prohibits anyone but the owner to operate the firearm. Effectively you need a computer chip somewhere enclosed in the firearm that is smart enough to recognize one user from the other and will enable the gun to fire by the proper finger. I hope the gun is forgiving enough so that when your wife grabs your gun to stop a bad guy that just broke in the house it fires….

My bounds should be:

Energetic slug discovered in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada
"High-energy" is one phrase unlikely to bring to mind slugs, creatures that tend to grab our attention only when we find them in the vegetable garden.
Not so for the newest critter to be added to the species list of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada. When threatened, the sleek, humpbacked and slightly slimy dromedary jumping-slug launches into feats of acrobatics unheard of among its lethargic local cousins.
With its Canadian range thus far restricted to Vancouver Island-with only one or two slugs at most sites-the dromedary jumping-slug was identified as threatened by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in May 2003. The slug seems to have a penchant for older forests; all known threats to the slug are associated with habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation incurred by logging.
For more information about the dromedary jumping-slug, visit these sites:

From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mastadoom&oldid=2207249"
Mastadooms are large skeletal mammoths encountered on Star Hill in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Mastadooms are possibly the most powerful enemy on Star Hill, having an arsenal of physical attacks and the powerful "Drain Beam" attack, which hurts all party members. A Mastadoom's regular attack consists of hitting its opponents with its long trunk. Mastadooms are strong against Thunder, but their main weakness is Fire.
Only one Mastadoom ever appears in battle. There is also an unused enemy named Mastablasta, a blue-colored version of Mastadoom. They could actually summon Goombas to help them in battle, and had the psychopath, "Life is tough, ain't it?"

The Miz Addresses Ryback, Randy Orton Update, WWE Cameras Catch Up With Jim Ross
– During a RAW commercial Monday night, WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz spoke with Matt Striker backstage about Ryback crashing his debut MizTV segment. Miz said Ryback needs to understand that he holds gold and is one of the most decorated Superstars in all of WWE.
– While Randy Orton is taking off after tonight's SmackDown tapings to begin work on WWE's "12 Rounds: Reloaded" movie, he is still scheduled to work next Tuesday's SmackDown tapings from Buffalo, New York.
– WWE cameras caught up with Jim Ross at Monday night's RAW. Ross said he wishes he would have returned under different circumstances but had a great time working with JBL and Michael Cole. Ross said Jerry Lawler surviving his heart attack was a miracle. Ross said if Lawler had been anywhere else, things may have been different. Ross credited WWE and Dr. Sampson.

Roc Nation would have to bridge a sizeable gap, as Cruz expects a much bigger payday. The Daily News reported that Cruz's last request under agent Tom Condon was closer to the $10 million to $11 million range per year.
This one says under Tom Condon. That been said we all take it with a grain of salt when all said are rumors but as we all have seen in past years some rumors are in some part true.
In the end everything will come down to April 19th, till then let the fun continue.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
Surely you have to believe that these media sources aren't just making everything up. I understand you are trying to give Cruz every benefit of the doubt, but all signs lead us to believe that he really making this hard on the team.
I think you are the most loyal fan on this board. But I think your loyalty is blinding you from reality just a little bit in this case.
Those are probably his words on a certain day. Like I said, he has said it out his own mouth. He has been to more than one Cowboys game. And he was seen getting off a plane with a Cowboy hat on, you shouldve posted those pics. He is just another one that say whatever is convenient at the time.
Jay being a Cowboys fan is relevant because I find it funny that he is jocking a Giants player.

Players come and go so I prefer to put the team above them in terms of my loyalty. In Cruz's case, I see a guy who is simply trying to get the best deal he can in a relatively short lived, violent sport.
I think Reese and Condon will get a deal done that everyone can live with and they will do it without any input for us. I rarely rely a press report that doesn't contain either a quote from a credible, named source or at least attributing the information to a named source.
Cruz signs or doesn't. This team will muddle through either way. But to assassinate his character and his motives as we are doing here based on nothing more than media hype is unfair. That's how I feel about it.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

Well as you all probably guessed from my page my name is Angela Dalton, I am from a city in England named Oldham which is located in Greater Manchester. I have lived here my whole life and plan on sticking here until the time is right to leave.
Most people would describe the way I look as 'a porcelain doll' or 'an english rose'. I have a very pale complexion, dark hair, grey blue eyes, I stand at around 5ft4 to 5ft5. Slim and toned at a size 8 dress.
I am mostly into my creativity, studying art and photography. I am also highly interested in tattooing and trying to follow my dream in a career in the industry. Which is much more difficult then it seems. Especially with a girl that doesn't have tattoos and not many piercings.
Being a bubbly, upbeat person, I am always ready to have a laugh and to do something different. Finding new ways of entertainment and experimenting with
new life experiences. Treat everyday differently.
I am not the most experiences model but always work hard to create an image which the photographer can use and also a good image to put into my portfolio.

I think Im jumping on board now. Not because i have read the series but because of the potential. I think 1-8 had like 5k print run. Still no confirmation of a tv show. In fact one of the creatores had this to say. Seems like its still struggling but if it does blow up, I want to be in the middle of it.

I have to say, I don't fully understand what's going on with circulation and threatening the cancellation of the book. Kurtis' comments make it sound like at 7000 circulation it's profitable and at 5000 it veers into labor of love territory and logically at 2000 copies or 1200 it could be costing them money.
I'm no expert, but from my reading of Dave Sim editorials in the 90s plus just generally being around comics and publishing, the way I understand it is that the trade sales are the key. Sim said that by issue 130 or so of Cerebus, the monthly wasn't selling enough to make it worth going forward...except for the trades (which he more or less pioneered). He said there wasn't one month since 1977 that he hadn't made money on Cerebus 1.
Add in some BBC money for Kurtis (not sure his agreement with the artist on stuff like that) and the artist being able to sell original art, and it seems like a more or less viable concern. Now maybe they are pulling out all kinds of behind the scenes stops to keep this going, but I would hope that with the first trade printed and money coming in from that, selling art, etc. they are going to be able to make it to at least the 25 issues and have a great finished story that they can make money on (mostly via trades) for years.
You have to keep in mind a few things about the income of the book.
1) BBC TV show isn't official and we don't make anything unless it is. That could be years from now and we have to live off
in the meantime.
2) At the current sales, I receive a cheque of $1500 per issue, sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a bit less. That amount is reduced by the page rate we pay our colourist and a percentage goes to our letterer. I won't go into the details, but at the end of both of those dediuctions, Tyler and I split the remainder.
3) We do make money from TPB's, but we aren't paid until six months after it's released, meaning we're doing the following five issues for very little money. See, this is what happened to Green Wake, my last series that I had to stop because Riley Rossmo wasn't making a dime. We didn't get the Volume 1 money until after we decided to end the series because we simply couldn't afford to go through the monthly singles to reach the collections.
I'm not trying to stretch the truth when I say we are doing this as a passion project. We really are. Yes, potential money could be coming down the pipeline, but since the first issue came out, Tyler has been making, essentially, $20/page. It takes him 3 weeks of every month to complete an issue and he has to live off something. He has a wife and two kids.
So, that's where Peter Panzerfaust is at right now. I'm very much hoping that all the recent publicity drives the sales up, but nothing's ever certain. Regardless, we will finish this series because it's something we HAVE to do.
And to answer the questions on print runs. I believe each issue sells around 4700 copies, so I'd imagine a print run of 5000 or so.

The Ultimate Bridal Event was a total blast with a huge turnout! I had so much fun, and kept running into friends who had just gotten engaged!!! Of course my personal favorites were out in full force, House of Flowers, Sit n Grin Photo Booth, Freestyle Entertainment, Anamie's Sweets, Rush Entertainment, Fairy Godmother, NY Photography, and I even saw a few new favorites emerge from the pack!!! My good friend Sharon Cousineau whom you may recognize from With Love Photography has traded in her camera for a set of kitchen knives! She just opened up a catering business, La Bonne Soiree! Her 1200+ hors d'oeuvres were devoured in the first 45 min of the show! If you couldn't tell, Sharon and her sister were an instant hit! Luckily they hid some for me and I was able to taste her Uh-May-ZING cupcakes!!! I really look forward to seeing what comes next from these multi-talented ladies! Can we say Top Chef Bakersfield?!? Next I found an old friend, Ms. Shari Fortino with Debonaire School of Ballroom Dancers, who was there to promote her ballroom lessons for that all-important first dance as a married couple!! I must say, my husband and I actually took several lessons form her a few years ago to prepare for our first dance and that lady can definitely perform miracles… because anyone who can get my husband with his two left feet to dance the way he did, is a dance goddess!!! With over 37 years of expertise in dance performance, instruction, and choreography, she can turn any couple into elegant dancing ballroom machines. My husband and I still to this day joke about how learning how to dance together was better couples counseling before the wedding, than what we got from our pastor!
Before the fashion show, there was a performance from Great Last Night and lets just say they were great last night, today and will be tomorrow! This seven-piece band, which includes an amazing vocalist, trumpeter, and saxophonist, can really get the party started at your wedding. From Katy Perry, to Kool and The Kang, Beyonce to Bon Jovi, James Brown to Bruno Mars, they know it and they love it… and so will you! I was dancing the entire time they were playing and found myself gravitating towards their booth all day to listen to their poppin sound! Let's not forget the extremely talented and sultry voice of Roger "The Lounge Guy" Martin, who was there singing so many of my favorite songs from the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Let me tell you… he sure can set a romantic mood for any wedding or event! I wish I could afford to hire him even for a romantic dinner and date night for my husband and I! If I had to do my wedding over I would definitely have The Lounge Guy sing during cocktail and dinner time and then bring in Great Last Night to party the night away!!! They were the perfect combination!
The Fashion show went with out a hitch… well except for one model who kept tripping over her shoes but she just kicked them off and kept strutting her stuff!!! That's what I call true professionalism! Fino's Menswear was in full force dancing their way up and down the runway with models giving those girls great eye candy, tailored suits, and a little swagger. Fino's owner Jerry himself was even out their busting a few moves on the catwalk! Everything from wedding gowns for the day, lingerie compliments of The Bra Shoppe for your wedding night, and honeymoon attire from vendors like Apricot Lane was featured as each model showcased so many different looks.
I can sum this event up as one fun, upscale and classy bridal event, which is most likely why they are called the Ultimate Bridal Event! If you missed the show, don't worry they will be back at Rabobank for another fantastic event on September 16th, 2012. In the meantime, you can visit their site at www.ultimatebridalevent.com.

head choice???
Hey everyone, ran into a snag today on my build went with the australian heads and the studs, screw in studs pulled out when we torqued them so not using the heads no way! Has anyone heard of the 320 patriet heads? If so are they descent for the price., I know there not brodix and so on but are they good? Thanks
Too bad. Were they really some kind of Aussie heads or just Chinese knock-offs sold and marketed as Aussie so you would buy them? Pro Comp maybe? Don't buy cheap heads, what you just learned ought to tell you what outcome to expect. JMO
What are the specs to the rest of your combo and what car is it going intio?
Are they aluminum or iron?
What did you torque them to- 7/16" studs, right?
What brand and details of the type head- who sells them? How much?
For a BBC?
i bought a set of the Pro Comp shaft mount roller rockers for my sbc. $200.00 sounded good to me until i installed them. All i could hear in my head was that little birdie cheeping. But i did buy a set of pro comp stud girdles that were nice for the price, except the poly locks were junk. We need more info to say ye or ne on the patriots. What engine, what is your goal?
Budget the lower end and don't go cheap on the top end
I've talked about this engine asking q's before on here. Its a 504 chevy big block. My builder is assembling so the details are at his shop. I trust his knowledge, he used to work on early nitro cars in the 60's or 70's. He's good. The heads were a cnc pro comp Aussie head. I actually talked with a few guys who use these heads seen it myself and they were fine but when my builder torqued the studs they pulled. One of them deals. Glad he caught it and said no fixin, no glue no way.
The bottom end is all forged eagle, mahle pistons,. 4 and 3-8 stroke, jesel rockers 700 some lift cam. All good stuff no scrimping. I have been around long enough to know that ofcourse brodix 18 degree and dart and so on are great but what about these 320 freedom fighter patriot heads. Rec ports. Were also looking at a set of oval port trick flows but really want the big numbers and the engine is designed to run rec port, opinions please. motor will make over 700 on pump gas
how much can you spend on a set of heads? From what I have seen, an un ported set of the patriot type heads will get you ~600 hp with your current setup. In order to get over 700 you will need some CNC, or hand ported Brodix/AFR/Dart... heads. Another idea that will get you in the ~600 range would be the Dart iron eagle 308cc heads. In order to know for shure, we need to know the cam specs, and compression at a minimum.
this may give you some info:
Here are some dyno results
This one is a little more like yours:
head q's
Thanks firestone for the patriot info. The bottom filler ad and dyno time said that with a little massaging and Some more cam 675 would be obtainable. I'm running 1000 cfm barry grant carb huge solid custom erson cam, more cubes and can spin 7000rpm. So I'm pretty confident on the numbers we're figuring. Also he said if it didn't make the numbers we agreed on he'd foot my bill and free engine time. I know he built a 496 with oval ports trick flow heads that made 697 I watched it and can hace the same trick flow heads but dont know know to much about the heads and wanted rec portss for the numbers. Any info on trick flow also would help and thanks again firestone info is great sounds like patriots make the numbers. No more pro comps ever here.,
Have you thought about the CNC combustion chamber AFR 305cc or 325cc heads? They seem to make great power and are a rectangular port head. I dont know how much you want to spend, but they are around ~$2500 a set. Here is a dyno test with these heads.
Here is a dynoed motor with the AFR 305cc heads. It made right at 700 hp. The combo is on the second page.
head choice
I've been doing my homework a little now firestone and like the 325cc afr's.
My problem is that we've been in this engine deal for 3 years. We started with a 494 buick that the old builder assembled with the dots on the timing chain lined up like a chevy and if you know anything about buicks its about six teeth off. So total carnage when it fired busted valves, head, cylinderwall, bad deal, that was the first year, the second year a new builder and he clearenced everything to tight in the buick so 2 miles no bearings it was actually so tight it ripped one started apart on the first startup and the second on when the bearings failed and i tried to start it again on the side of the rode. that altogether was about 16000.00. Now were close to about 8500 on this chevy so were trying to pinch alittle. I sure do appreciate your help and advise. Its appreciated
Wow, that is some bad luck. On one hand I can see trying to cut back on cost. On the other, after all that you have gone through, it would be dissapointing to end up with a motor that did not perform as you desired.
Aussie Heads
I build vintage chevy small blocks and big blocks.I also do performance work.I have jobber status with Engine Quest wich is a Aussie company.I have been using these heads on alot of my performance engines and have never run into any promblems.They are dam good heads.I have used every one from 180cc runners to there 235cc runners 64cc and 50cc chambers.I will put these heads up against Dart or RHS any time.Dont knock all the aussie heads just because you got a bad set.It might be the manufacture but I swear on Engine Quest Heads.They build IMCA spec heads for the modified division.They are just like the Brodix Race Saver that nascar uses in there sprint car race saver division where the guys have to run a flat top 305 with the race saver heads.
The heads i got had casting flash everywhere only weighed about half as much as a set of any other aluminum heads i've been around which isnt always a bad deal. But when screw in studs pull out well before there actually torqued tight is not a good deal. Im not knocking all aussie or pro comp heads at all. This is just my experience with these pro comps. I talked with lots of guys with these heads that liked them alot so maybe it was a bad set. Lots of strange looking heli coil stuff in the heads i got. These are new. I've had a couple engines go and if this one went because a stud pulled what a shame. I had actually argued how good these were on here with others who told me to stay awayfrom them so pistol i know where your at., Sorry for not listening everyone hine sights 20-20.

US President Barack Obama has ramped up pressure on Congress Republicans and told his critics to set aside the "politics of the short-term to get something done". But it is the exchanges between the president and a Tea Party activist which are gaining most public attention and debate. The president has been trying to focus attention back on Congress—and not the Tea Party— during his whistle-stop bus tour of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The visits, featuring Obama's trademark townhall meetings, come amid plummeting popularity ratings, turmoil in the markets and fears of a double-dip recession.
The heated exchanges between a Tea Party activist Ryan Rhodes and Obama have provided the main talking point on the second day of the president's whistle-stop tour of the Midwest. In the video below, Rhodes can be heard saying: "Your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist'." At first, Obama can be heard saying that everybody needs to try and "tone down the rhetoric". He then goes on to outline some of the controversial things conservatives have said about him:
Source: AssociatedPress Embed Code
The initial question from Rhodes was based on claims that Vice President Joe Biden had accused tea party Republicans of acting "like terrorists" during private negotiations in early August. The phrase was alleged to have been used during talks over raising the nation's debt limit.
"The word was used by several members of Congress. The vice president does not believe it's an appropriate term in political discourse." [Biden's spokeswoman on August 1st]
Source: Politico
Trying to steer attention back to the economy, President Obama used his address at the 'Rural Economic Forum' in Peosta, Iowa to hit out at some conservative Republican congressional critics who, he claimed, refuse to "put country ahead of faction". He told the audience the US would get through its current economic challenges but called on Congress "to put aside politics of the short term to get something done." His hard-hitting remarks can be read here or watched below:

The Republicans were quick to respond to Obama. First up was presidential hopeful Mitt Romney:

The Republican National Committee soon followed:
Obama's blame game continues on his campaign tour: "I reversed recession until bad luck hit" http://t.co/oaJdKSd #debtendtour
And for a second day, Republican representatives asked questions about the bill to taxpayers:

Others have continued to turn out in protest at the president's policy decisions:

One constituent is now selling an autographed letter from the president, having lost his job and health insurance. The 2009 letter says: "Tim – Thanks for your letter. I share your sentiments, and we are moving as quick as we can to restore some common sense to the financial system. Barack Obama". The letter will featured in an upcoming book about Obama's practice of reading ten letters from Americans every night. Bidding currently stands at $5,417.

On the second day of Obama's Midwest tour, the Republican National Committee reiterated calls for an end to the "Debt-End Express", produced briefing documents for the media on the "debt-end bus tour" and started a Twitter hashtag #DebtEndTour

GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has dubbed Obama's trip the 'magical misery bus tour':
It is unlikely President Obama will speak with unemployed Americans, to near-bankrupt business owners, or to families struggling to survive in this economy. He is more interested in campaigning in swing states than working to solve the economic crisis that is crushing the middle class. [Mitt Romney]

Having produced videos featuring residents of Cannon Falls and Decorah on Day One of Obama's bus tour, Romney has followed up today with videos featuring residents of Peosta, where Obama is visiting on Tuesday:
Source: mittromney Embed Code
Meanwhile, Tea Party supporters have been making their presence felt as Obama navigates his way to Illinois on Wednseday:
Source: Reince Priebus
Some are clearly not impressed at Obama's decision to undertake a three-day tour, at taxpayers' expense:
Obama screws taxpayers again: uses $1.1 million bus for his tour at 5 miles per gallon. Paid for by us--not his campaign committee.
Some are not convinced of his promises and plans:
Others thought Obama's speech was simply repetitive:
Are we really gong to televise every one of Obama's bus tour stops if he's going to give the exact same speech every time? #headdesk
Obama still commands support, with many urging him to take a tougher approach with Republicans:
I am 100% support of President Obama, I just think it's time to start calling it like it is! The Repub's are not doing what's right for all!
Whether you support the President or not, he's still the President. Anti-Obama comments by Tea Partiers, GOPs disrespect the man and office.
Obama will be re-elected. He's a great President. Thus economic mess isn't Obamas fault

It wouldn't have been exactly like a modern job interview, because early humans had no resumes or Linked-In or letters of recommendation to guide them. There was very little in the way of personal or professional reputation to go on, so in that sense the exchange was much trickier. But the fundamental idea was the same: Somehow the interviewer had to judge, in a brief spot of time, if the applicant — a complete stranger — was worthy of trust.

Citation: McClenahan, S.D., Bok, K., Neill, J.D., Smith, A.W., Rhodes, C.R., Sosnovtsev, S.V., Green, K.Y., Romero, C.H. 2009. A Capsid Gene-Based Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for the Detection of Marine Vesiviruses in the Caliciviridae. Journal of Virological Methods. 161(1):12-18. Interpretive Summary: Emerging or newly discovered viruses are becoming more of a threat to both human and animal health. Some of these viruses belong to the calicivirus family of viruses. There is a group of caliciviruses that can cause disease in many different species of marine mammals, called the San Miguel sea lion viruses (SMSV). These viruses are closely related to the exotic caliciviruses that cause vesicular exanthema of swine. There is evidence that many different species of marine mammals may serve as reservoirs for these viruses to enter into domestic livestock herds. In response to this, a novel real-time PCR test was developed that was able to detect very low levels of these viruses. This test could reliably detect less than 100 copies of viral genomic RNA. In addition, it successfully detected 12 different SMSV strains. It was shown to be specific for SMSV by testing RNA from feline caliciviruses and members of the Norovirus group of caliciviruses. Testing of these latter viruses resulted in no specific amplification products. This real-time RT-PCR assay may find use as a diagnostic tool for the detection of currently circulating and previously described SMSV strains in clinical samples that include vesicular fluids, and oral and rectal swabs. It can also be employed in the screening of clinical samples that may contain unknown SMSV strains as well. This test will be especially valuable when large numbers of clinical samples are screened as in the case of surveillance for these viruses.
Technical Abstract: A real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rtRT-PCR) assay was developed for the identification of marine vesiviruses. The primers were designed to target a 176-nucleotide fragment within a highly conserved region of the San Miguel sea lion viruses (SMSVs) capsid gene. The assay detected viral RNA from nine marine vesivirus serotypes described previously, including two serotypes (SMSV-8 and -12) not identified with presently available molecular assays, a highly related bovine vesivirus strain (Bos-1), a mink vesivirus strain (MCV), and two novel genotypes isolated recently from Steller sea lions (SSL V810 and V1415). The real-time assay did not amplify sequences from the corresponding genomic regions of feline calicivirus (also in the genus Vesivirus) and representative members of the genus Norovirus. The rtRT-PCR assay described below may prove useful as a diagnostic tool for the detection of currently circulating, emerging and previously described marine vesiviruses in clinical samples, especially when large numbers are screened in surveillance studies of these restricted viruses.

Thanks To All For Turn Arrow
Dear Editor,
I recently read in your newspaper that a turn signal light will be installed at Beach 108 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
I want to thank those who made it possible to get turn signals approved at that location, because it's been the scene of numerous accidents, and hopefully this should prevent many more from happening.
Again, thanks to all.

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away -- how did that happen?!! This year, the holiday is on the earliest date it can possibly occur. Freaking out, like me? I bring you this Tasty + Thankful + Fun Thanksgiving Kit complete with amazing recipes for your turkey and sides, awesome activities to keep your kids in the Turkey Day spirit (and out of your busy kitchen on actual T. Day), and simple ways to bring the holiday back to what it's all about: Giving thanks with family and friends.
Let's start at the very beginning: Planning. You have probably already figured out if you're traveling or staying close to home for the holiday (hope this didn't lead to too much conflict with your spouse or in-laws!). Now, do you have a timeline for making much-needed space in your fridge, planning a seating chart if you're hosting a crowd, and more of the nitty gritty stuff? This guide to planning ahead can help.
Okay, now the yummy stuff: Recipes. Start out by brainstorming your menu. You can always stick with your family's classics, but think back to past years when you had tons of leftovers of a certain not-so-popular side dish. Maybe this year is the time to try something new -- like sweet potato and sage gratin, or sausage and apple stuffing, or rice pilaf with pancetta and cranberries. Branch out with these delicious side dish recipes. And don't forget the pies -- or the turkey (doesn't roast turkey with spiked gravy sound awesome?)! This printable Thanksgiving grocery list covers most of what you'll need for your feast. (And print off this grocery store game booklet for your kiddos to save some of your sanity.)
I know the scene. The holiday commercials have sucked your kids in. The Christmas catalogs have come and mesmerized your children. Their wish lists to Santa are getting long, and it's not even December. Time to call a time-out on Christmas and the December holidays and focus on the cool and meaningful holiday that's Thanksgiving. Talk with them about some Thanksgiving history. And pick one of these 10 simple ways to give thanks this Thanksgiving, whether it's through donations, volunteering, or making crafts like a thankful Thanksgiving tablecloth.
Got you covered on the fun stuff, too. As thrilling as it can be to go nuts at Home Goods or those other fun stores, buying a complete Thanksgiving-themed "tablescape," it can be even more fun (and frugal) to make some adorable Turkey Day crafts with your kids. Before too long, they'll be too old to want to make construction-paper turkeys (*tear*), so you can shop for store-bought decor then.
This printable Thanksgiving activity book is great for entertaining kids while you drive over the river and through the woods. And these 11 awesome activities for Thanksgiving Day will bring your family closer together with festive outdoor activities, like touch football and a mini pumpkin hunt, and cozy indoor activites, like curling up to watch the parade or having a board game tournament. Your kids will also get a kick out of Thanksgiving parade bingo.

Coffee for a Cause
Calderon started Giving Tree Coffee after a massive earthquake hit El Salvador in 2001. He flew down to volunteer at a church-run orphanage and found 35 homeless kids crammed into a small, run-down house. Calderon wanted to help these kids and others like them. An article in a Salvadoran newspaper about how the country was trying to revive its coffee industry sparked an idea. "El Salvador had been a leader in coffee production, but it had fallen off after years of civil war in the 1980s," recalls Calderon, 41. "I knew nothing about running a coffee company, but it's one of the few things my country exports. Why not try to start one, and donate the profits [to help homeless children]?"
Since 2003, Giving Tree has granted about $10,000 annually to a San Salvador nonprofit that provides housing and care to homeless children. Donations have helped pay for new shower facilities, bunk beds, appliances, school supplies and food. "My goal is to eradicate the problem [of homeless Salvadoran children]," he says.

Ferris State University football fans and alumni throughout the world will have an opportunity to watch the Bulldogs square off against archrival Grand Valley State on Saturday, Oct. 27, free of charge via a live audio and video broadband webcast.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recently announced the FSU-GVSU contest will be one of four NCAA Division II Football "Games of the Week" slated to be shown on Oct. 27 as part of the NCAA's Division II broadband initiative in partnership with CSTV.
Kickoff for the annual Anchor-Bone Classic is set for 7 p.m. (EDT) at GVSU's Arend D. Lubbers Stadium in Allendale, Mich. The winner of the West Michigan rivalry contest will receive the Anchor Bone Trophy.
The broadband webcast will feature both live video and audio from the game. In order to access the service, fans will need to visit the CSTV/Division II website at http://www.cstv.com/ncaa/divii. Additional links to the webcast will be available through the FSU athletics website (www.ferris.edu/sports) as the game approaches.
Division II and CSTV are in the second season of a multi-year television and broadband partnership that will showcase more than 80 live Division II regular-season events over the internet to a national audience. The service began last season for football along with men's and women's basketball. It was recently expanded to include selected volleyball matches this season.
The broadband schedule is evenly distributed among Division II conferences, with each league being represented in at least three contests. The games are chosen by the NCAA Division II Presidents Council and the NCAA Division II Media Advisory Group. They are produced in cooperation with NCAA Productions.
The CSTV agreement, which runs through 2009, provides an amplified platform to highlight Division II contests and student-athlete accomplishments, while also promoting the intercollegiate athletics philosophy for Division II member institutions. There are more than 74,800 student-athletes competing at 290 NCAA Division II colleges and universities nationwide.
While the Oct. 27 game will mark the first time the Bulldogs have been part of the Division II/CSTV broadband package, it won't be the first time Bulldog football games have been available to fans across the world. This season, all Bulldog home games and selected road contests are available on an internet pay-per-view basis via an agreement with B2 Networks. More information on the service can be found on Ferris' official athletics website at www.ferris.edu/sports.

Women are increasingly using rewards offered by credit cards to treat themselves to little luxuries according to new research published today.
A survey for Debenhams Personal Finance reveals that women prefer cards which give them reward points which can be turned into vouchers they can spend in-store, rather than cash-back cards where they earn a small percentage of money for each purchase.
Debenhams Head of Personal Finance Mike Hazell says: "Shoppers tell us they're using the rewards earned by credit cards to give themselves little luxury treats, like perfume, make up or a new top or pair of jeans. They love the convenience of paying with plastic and the added bonus of the rewards."
The survey for the department store found that more than four in ten (43%) women questioned said they would choose a reward card, compared to just over a quarter (27%) who said they would pick a cashback card.

On This Day in Music...June 19th
I'm hoping June 19th is better than yesterday was, with my car having to be towed away to be fixed... Pray for me.
June 19th had many musical happenings, and we're going to start today in 1965 with The Rolling Stones. Today the guys celebrate because it is the anniversary of their first US Number 1, "Satisfaction"! Of course, that's their first of many, but numero uno has to be the most special to them!
Look how young they are doing the song that year!
Next up we're off to 2011 in Serbia, which was not a good day for Amy Winehouse. On June 19th she was supposed to play a show in Belgrade. Supposed to is the key word there, because she was booed off stage for being too drunk / drugged up to perform.
Sadly this was at the point of no turning back for her, as she passed away a few weeks later. Let's watch her performing "Rehab" on The Tonight Show!
Such a sad ending for Amy. So much talent wasted by drugs.
Now to another bad day, and this one involved Richard Ashcroft, former lead singer of The Verve. Today in 2006, he went into a youth club in England and demanded to work with the teenagers there. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and fined for it. (Drinking may have been a factor...)
Since Richard isn't with The Verve anymore, how about we watch him playing "Bittersweet Symphony" with Coldplay at Live 8 in London!
We need to talk birthdays too!
Brian "Head" Welch is our first, as he was born on June 19th, 1970. Brian's been the guitarist for Korn now on two different runs, and he helped the band with their biggest songs including "Got The Life". They had the crowd going nuts at Woodstock '99 when they did it!
Today is also the birthday of Scott Avett, one of the siblings behind The Avett Brothers! He and his brother Seth founded the band and have been doing quite well for themselves ever since. How well? I'd say playing at Red Rocks in front of a sold out crowd isn't too bad! "Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise" will show you!
One more birthday, one more birthday! Ok, ok!!!!
Ben Haggerty's birthday is June 19th, 1983. I know what you're saying... WHO IS BEN HAGGERTY?! Well Ben is better known as Macklemore!
Last year he and Ryan Lewis did "Thrift Shop" at Radio 1's Big Weekend. Tired and confused, they killed it!
There you have it! June 19th is officially awesome.

Long-term adrenalectomy (ADX) results in an extensive and specific loss of dentate gyrus granule cells in the hippocampus of adult rats. This loss of granule cells extends over a period of weeks to months and ultimately results in cognitive deficits revealed in a number of tasks that depend on intact hippocampal function. The gradual nature of ADX-induced cell death and the ensuing deficits in cognition resemble in some important respects a variety of pathological conditions in humans. Here, we characterize behavioural and cellular processes, including adult neurogenesis, in the rat ADX model. We also provide experimental evidence for a neurogenic treatment strategy by which the lost hippocampal cells may be replaced, with the goal of functional recovery in mind.
