Philanthropic activities often yield unexpected community development. Nebraska Philanthropy: Investing In Our Future explores that relationship. What began as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization in North Platte has turned into a destination event for railroad enthusiasts from all over the world. In Prague, brothers Jeremy and Justin Stanislav have created an annual mud volleyball tournament that helps women battle breast cancer while bringing people and attention to their hometown. Through it's Hometown Competitiveness model, the Nebraska Community Foundation is helping Holt County attract young entrepreneurs to the region. And the Nebraska Children's Home Society reaps the benefit of a $4 Million gift, 120 years in the making.

Reviews of this property
It was an unforgettable weekend in Copenhagen! From the first moment we arrived we felt welcome! Michael is a wonderful host and it is very interesting to talk with him! In his cozy apartment we felt like home right from the beginning.
The rooms are are very clean and tidy, also Michael's bikes are in perfect condition!
We could not imagine a better stay, we will definitely come again (in summer ;) )
We had 2 nights for a visit with our daughter. The room was good with a lovely comfortable bed and a lovely fresh and hospitable host. There was free access to both the kitchen and living room. We had a lovely stay. We look forward to another good time. Thanks for the stay.
Vi havde 2 overnatninger i forbindelse med et besøg hos vores datter. Værelset var godt med en dejlig komfortabel seng og en dejlig frisk og gæstfri vært. Der var fri adgang til både køkken og stue. Vi havde et dejligt ophold. Vi glæder os til en anden god gang. Tak for opholdet.
Michael is a very warm and sincere host. It is a generous and knows his city and its inhabitants. Her apartment is very nice and the room is comfortable. It's nice to be able to use the lounge to read, talk, have a tea or coffee. The location of the apartment is perfect, close to a metro station and a few minutes walk from the center. The bike rental (good quality) is more common in Copenhagen city, very suitable for bicycles. We had a great stay in Copenhagen and our domiciled with Michael it has contributed!
Michael est un hôte très chaleureux et très sincère. Il est d'une grande générosité et connaît bien sa ville et ses habitants. Son appartement est très joli et la chambre est confortable. C'est agréable de pouvoir profiter du salon pour lire, discuter, prendre un thé ou un café. La localisation de l'appartement est idéale, à deux pas d'une station de métro et à quelques minutes du centre à pieds. Le location des vélos (de bonne qualité) est un plus dans une ville commune Copenhague, très adaptée aux vélos. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Copenhague, et notre domiciliation chez Michael y a largement contribué !
Wonderfull big and clean room, very close to the metro (2minutes).
Michael is a great guy, we had a good time in Kopenhagen!
Thank you for tolen stay. The apartment is clean and simple. Kitchen and bathroom to share with the owner, absolutely straightforward. For a short leisure trip as our perfect.
Vielen Dank für den tolen Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist schlicht und sauber. Küche und Bad mit dem Besitzer zu teilen, absolut unkompliziert. Für einen kurzen Aufentahlt wie unseren perfekt.
We had a really good time at Michael's place. He has a nice and clean appartment and really good bikes to rent. All in all he is a good host and copenhagen is city worth to visit
Very close to the center, very nice and helpful host. Well liked. Thank you!
Sehr nah zur Mitte, sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Gut gefallen. Danke!
I stayed 3 nights with my friend at Michael's place and it was really great. The room was nice and clean and the bed comfortable. We were allowed to use the kitchen.
Also the bathroom is worth to see. It's small but you have everything you need.
Michael is a really nice outgoing person. He helped us where he could and gave us lots of tips. We also had some nice talks with him about this and that. Copenhagen is a wonderful city and Michales place is perfet to stay there. The flat is easily reachable by public transport. And you can walk everythin by foot or go by bicycle.
Michale, thank you very much for those wonderful days in Copenhage, you're a grat host!

The Mill on the Floss HTML version
I.10. Maggie Behaves Worse Than She Expected
The startling object which thus made an epoch for uncle Pullet was no other than
little Lucy, with one side of her person, from her small foot to her bonnet-crown,
wet and discolored with mud, holding out two tiny blackened hands, and making
a very piteous face. To account for this unprecedented apparition in aunt Pullet's
parlor, we must return to the moment when the three children went to play out of
doors, and the small demons who had taken possession of Maggie's soul at an
early period of the day had returned in all the greater force after a temporary
absence. All the disagreeable recollections of the morning were thick upon her,
when Tom, whose displeasure toward her had been considerably refreshed by
her foolish trick of causing him to upset his cowslip wine, said, "Here, Lucy, you
come along with me," and walked off to the area where the toads were, as if
there were no Maggie in existence. Seeing this, Maggie lingered at a distance
looking like a small Medusa with her snakes cropped. Lucy was naturally pleased
that cousin Tom was so good to her, and it was very amusing to see him tickling
a fat toad with a piece of string when the toad was safe down the area, with an
iron grating over him. Still Lucy wished Maggie to enjoy the spectacle also,
especially as she would doubtless find a name for the toad, and say what had
been his past history; for Lucy had a delighted semibelief in Maggie's stories
about the live things they came upon by accident,--how Mrs. Earwig had a wash
at home, and one of her children had fallen into the hot copper, for which reason
she was running so fast to fetch the doctor. Tom had a profound contempt for
this nonsense of Maggie's, smashing the earwig at once as a superfluous yet
easy means of proving the entire unreality of such a story; but Lucy, for the life of
her, could not help fancying there was something in it, and at all events thought it
was very pretty make-believe. So now the desire to know the history of a very
portly toad, added to her habitual affectionateness, made her run back to Maggie
and say, "Oh, there is such a big, funny toad, Maggie! Do come and see!"
Maggie said nothing, but turned away from her with a deeper frown. As long as
Tom seemed to prefer Lucy to her, Lucy made part of his unkindness. Maggie
would have thought a little while ago that she could never be cross with pretty
little Lucy, any more than she could be cruel to a little white mouse; but then,
Tom had always been quite indifferent to Lucy before, and it had been left to
Maggie to pet and make much of her. As it was, she was actually beginning to
think that she should like to make Lucy cry by slapping or pinching her, especially
as it might vex Tom, whom it was of no use to slap, even if she dared, because
he didn't mind it. And if Lucy hadn't been there, Maggie was sure he would have
got friends with her sooner.
Tickling a fat toad who is not highly sensitive is an amusement that it is possible
to exhaust, and Tom by and by began to look round for some other mode of
passing the time. But in so prim a garden, where they were not to go off the
paved walks, there was not a great choice of sport. The only great pleasure such

The API Strategy & Practice Conference made its successful sold out debut last week in New York with an army of enthusiastic API technologists, strategists, and technology providers in attendance. The 2-day conference kicked off on Thursday, February 21st featuring a range of keynotes, panels, and tracks that included Music, Social, API Design, Media, Retail, API Automation, Travel, Payments, and more.
I had the pleasure of presenting alongside Irakli Nadareishvili of NPR and Jon Moore of Comast in the Media track, discussing the need for content distribution via APIs for our respective businesses. In addition to learning about how NPR and Comcast are executing their API programs, the most compelling discussions for me at the conference centered around the future of API ecosystems, evangelism, and hackathons.
Kin Lane, The API Evangelist (Also IPA Evangelist)
My highlights included:
- Steve Klabnik's intruigingly abstract and metaphorical keynote called "Why Open?" Through his presentation, Steve 'cut through the chaos and took us to the cutting edge of Hypermedia APIs'.
- The API Marketing and Promotion panel featured three different perspectives from Mashery's Amit Jotwani, ProgrammableWeb's Adam Duvander, and Sendgrid's Swift.
Amit focused on packaging of APIs ("Unpacking is the first interaction with a product and matters because it sets the tone for the customer relationship").
Adam outlined the 3C's to "Make Your API Irresistible": Clarity, Cost, and Community.
Swift presented an indepth analysis on the state of hackathons. My favorite quotes from Swift's talk are: "Evangelists, your job is not just to demo the API, it's also to inspire the hackers", and "Hackers are artists".
Swift of Sendgrid, Amit of Mashery, and Adam of ProgrammableWeb
Though not officially part of the the API Strategy & Practice conference, another one of my highlights was the New York Developer Evangelist Meetup that was planned around the event. The meeting its had the largest attendance ever, and even featured a special appearance from Kin Lane.
Many thanks to Kin and the conference organizers for offering Pearson and all of the other presenters a platform to share knowledge, innovation, technologies, and ideas. Looking forward to the next one!
You did really good work. I really appreciate your new and different post. Please guys keep it up and share with us some unique post in the future…

The big question heading into the season opener revolves around what the Patriots plan to do in order to compensate for the loss of DE Richard Seymour.
Will they stay with a 3-4 or move to a 4-3? The Patriots more than likely have enough depth to do both, but the decision moving forward will depend on who makes the proper adjustments.
Can Jarvis Green be a full-time starter? He's filled that role in the past, but never for 16 games. Also, how will Mike Wright fit into the equation? The strength of this defense has always been at the line of scrimmage, and for the Patriots to maintain their formula for success they can't afford to lose battles in the trenches.
The coaching staff won't reveal its plans yet, but rest assured they'll switch things up not only on Monday against Buffalo but for the remainder of the season depending on the opponent. Perhaps now more than ever we'll see that defensive line depth put to the test.
--G Kendall Simmons signed a three-year deal with the Patriots, including a base salary of $620,000 this season, according to published reports. Simmons could be counted on to fill Russ Hochstein and Billy Yates' spots in the Patriots interior line. Hochstein was traded to the Denver Broncos and Yates was released in the final roster cuts.
--OL Dan Connolly was not spotted at the beginning of practice Wednesday, when members of the media are allowed on the field. Connolly was one of the few surprises to make the final roster. His presence in the offensiv eline rotation will be counted on as the season wears on. Connolly is listed as questionable with a back issue for Monday Night.
--S Matthew Slater, who is nursing a left arm injury, was also not on the practice field Wednesday during media participation. His status for Monday is in jeopardy.Slater did n ot participate in practice all week and is listed as Out (elbow).
--TE Chris Baker was absent from the media portion of practice Wednesday. Baker should be available Monday against Buffalo. Baker was not listed on the team's injury report through Friday.
--DL Myron Pryor was not on the field during media availability at practice Wednesday. He was listed as DNP (Did Not Participate) on the team's injury report Thursday and returned to practive Friday (Limited). He is listed as questionable for Monday's season opener.
GAME PLAN: The first thing the Patriots need to do is decide on how they're going to stack their defensive line, because pressuring the quarterback takes on even more importance this week with Buffalo's addition of Terrell Owens.
The Patriots no longer have Asante Samuel or Ellis Hobbs and this is a tough week to break in a new set of cornerbacks considering Owens' ability to single-handedly take over games, so the pressure falls on the linemen up front to prohibit Buffalo's offense from executing deep passes.
On the flipside, the Patriots should come out with all their guns blazing now that they have Tom Brady back behind center. This offense is loaded and it could be 2007 all over again. Will the Patriots shatter their own scoring and touchdown records? Probably not, but their strength is their offense, so they need to get on the board early and often. The best way to do that is go vertical and don't look back.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Bills DE Aaron Schobel vs. Patriots LT Matt Light. The more things change, the more they stay the same. In this case, we're presented with one of the classic matchups every time the Bills face New England. Over the years, this matchup has gone back and forth. Schobel had his way with Light early, but New England's veteran tackle has leveled the playing field in recent years. With so much riding on Brady's shoulder, he needs to keep Schobel under wraps.
Patriots CB Shawn Springs vs. Bills WR Terrell Owens. This is the mother of all matchups. Owens didn't play much during the preseason, so it's unclear how the Bills will utilize him, but here's a hint: They're going to ask him to catch a lot of passes. Springs also is lacking from on-field participation this summer, mainly due to injury. Can the Patriots trust him -- and his fellow defenders -- to shut down one of the game's most dangerous receivers? We'll find out Monday.
Bills LB Paul Posluszny vs. Patriots RB Sammy Morris. There's a bit of uncertainty surrounding the Patriots' running back situation. Can Laurence Maroney return to his pre-2008 form and does Fred Taylor have enough left in the tank? These are legitimate questions, so in the meantime Morris might be the answer to their problems. On the flipside, Posluszny is a stout run-stopper, so if the Patriots are going to get something going on the ground, they'll need Morris' legs and the brawn of their offensive line to carry the load. This should be a good matchup.
INJURY IMPACT: Slater's injury affects the Patriots' performance on special teams, though his struggles last year and in camp this summer might make this is a blessing in disguise. Slater has the speed, but has never put it to good use. The Patriots are also monitoring WR Julian Edelman and CB Terrence Wheatley, who are expected to play important roles this year. The same goes for Pryor, who may be asked to help fill the void left by Seymour's departure. The offensive line is deep enough to withstand an injury to Connolly or Rich Ohrnberger, but the defense will need those banged-up players on the field as soon as possible.

Botswana is one of Africa's great safari destinations. Whether it's elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, antelopes or rhinos or buffaloes, antelopes, or myriad other speciesthe numbers and variety in Botswana will quickly overwhelm your digital camera.
In Namibia the series of waterholes around Etosha Pan attract huge astounding numbers of animals especially in the dry season, making wildlife watching as simple as parking your car , putting your feet up and letting the animals come to you.
The landscapes of Namibia and Botswana will sometimes leave you wondering if you have arrived on another planet. That mighty gash hacked out of the earth's surface at Fish River Canyon is one of the great natural sights on the continent.
Lonely desert roads expose you to a wilderness that will clear your mind and work its way into your soul. Huge Humungous slabs of flat-topped granite rise out of mists of windblown sand and swirling dust - an ethereal effect as is ethereal the granite appears to float above the ground. As the road snakes into the distant horizon you may just feel like as though you are driving through a coffee-table book of landscapes.
The ancestors of the San, an ancient people who have direct links back to the Stone Age, left behind extraordinaryrecords in the form of rock paintings dotted throughout the region. The Tsodilo Hills, Botswana's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcase the pictorial record of this prehistoric culture, as do extensive galleries of rock art in Namibia.
Also, in Namibia, opportunities to interact with local cultures in the north include meeting the Himba of the Kaokoveld (a Herero subgroup that were a part of the early Bantu migrations). Here the women are famous for smearing themselves with a fragrantmixture of ochre, butter and bush herbs, which dyes their skin a burnt-orange hue.
Adventure Activities Namibia is Southern Africa's headquarters for adrenalin-pumping fun. Jump Fling yourself out of a planeand float back to earth, hurl yourself down a sand dune, surf the breakers on the Atlantic coast or head off into a desert sunset on a camel. There are many ways to ensure that your a visit to this region lives with you long after the desert sands recede into the distance.
1. Etosha National Park (Namibia)
There are few places in Southern Africa that can compete with the wildlife prospects in extraordinary Etosha National Park. A network of waterholes dispersed among the bush and grasslands surrounding the pan - a blindingly white, flat, saline desert that stretches into the horizon - attracts enormous congregations of animals. A single waterhole can render thousands of sightings in over the course of a day - Etosha is simply one of the best places on the planet for watching wildlife.
2. Sossuvlei (Namibia)
Towering red dunes of incredibly fine sand that feels soft when it trickles through your fingers and changes indelibly with the light, Sossusvlei is an astounding place, especially given that the sands originated in the Kalahari millions of years ago. The Sossusvlei valley is dotted with hulking dunes and interspersed with unearthly dry vleis (low, open landscapes), and clambering up the face of these constantly moving giants is a uniquely Namibian experience. You survey the seemingly endless swath of nothingness that surrounds you and it feels as though time itself has slowed.
3. Okavango Delta (Botswana)
The Okavango is an astonishing, beautiful, wild place. Home to wildlife spectacles of rare power and drama,The delta changes with the seasons as flood waters ebb and flow, creating islands, river channels and pathways for animals that follow move this way and that at the waters' behest. Exclusive and remote lodges are an Okavango speciality but self-drivers can find outstandingcampsites in the heart of the Okavango's Moremi Game Reserve. And no visit to the delta is complete without drifting through the waters in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) (picture below).
4. Fish River Canyon (Namibia)
This enormous gash in the surface of the planet in the south of Namibia is an almost implausible landscape. Seen most clearly in the morning, Fish River Canyon is desolate, immense and seemingly carved into the earth by a master builder. The exposed rock and lack of plant life is quite startling and trying to take pictures is soon replaced with thoughtful reflection and a quiet sense of awe.its rounded edges and sharp corners create a symphony in stone of gigantic and imposing proportions.
5. Chobe National Park (Botswana)
There are more elephants (pictured above) in Chobe - tens of thousands of them - than anywhere else on Earth. And they are big elephants, huge.Then there are the iconic landscapes of Savuti, with its elephant-eating lions; or Linyanti, one of the best places on the continent to see the highlyendangered African wild dog; or the Chobe Riverfront, where most of Africa's charismatic megafauna comes to drink. Put all of this together and it's easy to see why Chobe National Park ranks among the elite of African safari destinations.

I need a SoCal model of Boba Fett in Episode 6 armor and rifle. I will be at the Long Beach Comic Con and can arrange to take pics then or we can work out something else if we can do it earlier.
I am a Star Wars artist and I live is San Diego. If you know someone or are someone with E6 Fett armor, please let me know. This is for an official LFL project.
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but since its art related I thought I would take a swing. Feel free to move me if there is a better place for this thread http://threads.rebelscum.com/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Here are some commissioned Fetts I did recently. These are inked. The LFL project is a very large painting:

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › High Sierra Trail Late July
Apr 26, 2011 at 8:11 pm #1272911
Planning a west to east trip over Whitney on HST July 23rd. Given such a heavy snow year, will crampons and ice axe be advisable for the trail up Whitney? I know it's best guess I'm asking for. I'm already leaning toward tent and planning for lots of water crossings based on what I see on the map…would appreciate insights from this who've been on the trail beforeApr 26, 2011 at 8:27 pm #1729900
Bob GrossMember
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
That section of trail around Whitney will be very well traveled. There will be some long snow patches, but there will be a muddy foot track trough it all. The very most that you would need would be one trekking pole and some microspikes on your boots.
There will be one snow patch just a few hundred vertical feet below the summit. Then there will be one long snow patch just east of Trail Crest, and the trail will criss-cross that one for about 15 switchbacks down. There is generally some ice along the railing when you are halfway down the switchbacks.

"planning for lots of water crossings based on what I see on the map…would appreciate insights from this who've been on the trail before"
This has been a very heavy snow year and, if there is not an unusually hot spring to melt the snow down early, your most difficult crossing is probably going to be Wright Creek about halfway between Junction Meadow and the JMT. I've been there in August with moderately high water and was very glad it was not any higher. The creek cascades down across the trail through a slot in a cliff and the hillside on the other side of the trail is quite steep. There are not a lot of good options for going up or downstream to find a better place to cross. If the stream flows are still running exceptionally high in late July, I would advise checking with the Eastern Sierra Interagency Visitor Center in Lone Pine (telephone 1-760-876-6200) for the latest information on stream flows before making final route plans.Apr 27, 2011 at 8:37 pm #1730331

Date of Stay: September, 2008
The RV park had a shuttle bus that took us back and forth to the shows and also made some show reservations for us. A nice friendly RV park. The Wi-Fi and cable TV worked.
Date of Stay: February, 2008
When looking for a rv park you will only find this park listed in Passport America. It is a small family owned lakefront park. The spaces were small but they did have some spots for forty foot RVs. We were able to get a site with a lakefront view. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to help us when we left the lights on in our car and killed the battery. Close by in downtown DeFuniak Springs is Lake Defuniak a spring fed lake which is one of only two perfectly round lakes in the country.

One Response to "ALBA Declaration on Libya and Syria"
Courtenay Barnett on

All quite sensible proposals. My two-penny piece, for what it is worth:-
Strange type of "democratic" process – where an evidently still popular leader, whose country has been bombed for 6 months, still finds within his country sufficient base of support, despite the combined efforts of the "rebel alliance", such that there is no total ouster and defeat of that leader. Even stranger, when the African Union has presented a plan where the professed Western style elections are endorsed by the AU, and the leader accepts the plan to present himself for election accordingly, but the bombing continues, and the "democratic process" is one of bombing into power an opposition rebel faction, while simultaneously denying a choice to the Libyan people whether they want that leader to continue in power, or vote in the "bombed in" faction.
Strangely "democratic" process indeed, where bombs literally supplant any balllot, vote, referendum or yardstick of Libyan popular will.

If you're having trouble seating your cousins, aunties, uncles, friends and distant relatives around reception tables then why not try the free table planner available to
members of hitched.co.uk. I know I've spoken about this tool in the past, but I
wanted to highlight again how truly simple and easy this free table planner tool is to use!
If you're an organised bride-to-be then you may have already
added all of your guests to the guest manager tool found within the members
area. Once your guests have all been
added and have accepted (or declined) your invitation, you simply have to click the word table planner in order to start seating your guests.
I would recommend creating a seating plan as soon as you've received all of your invites back in order to give you plenty of time to create a visual table plan for your guests to view.
With a simple click and drag tool, you'll be able to choose
square, round or rectangular tables and adjust them accordingly to the size of
your room. Then simply click and drag
your guests into seats around each table. This tool is super easy to use and
can be deleted and started over again within seconds.
Here's one I made earlier…
So that you have more of a visual idea of what your
reception room will look like, you also have the opportunity to add a dance
floor, cake stand, bar and a table for gifts.
The best thing about this free table planning tool is that
you can export it to an excel document, or print it off in order to give to your
wedding coordinator or venue prior to the big day.
Spend the weekend exploring how the guest manager and
wedding table planner work on hitched.co.uk.

The thin paper toilet seat covers in public restrooms... do you use them? Do you just wipe down the seat first? Or do you just go for it and plop right down without worrying? Does it entirely depend on how dirty it "looks" before you make your decision?
I thought everyone used them. After asking a couple people at work (yeah, I do that), I was surprised to learn that they didn't use them because "bacteria cannot live or grow on plastic". I don't care, poo is poo whether it's living or not and I don't want someone else's funk getting on me. Wipe down + ass gasket it is.
That's the first time I've heard that terminology :rofl:
I just wipe and poop. NBD, if it's that dirty that I don't want to sit on it after a wipe, I certainly won't sit on it with an ass-gasket either.
it's a free cowboy hat :eeps:
wipe + gasket
i prefer not to poo in public bathrooms.
No I sh!t at home.
yes, but 99.5% of the time I won't go #2 in a public bathroom
I use the ole' juvenile hall way.
Sit on it with your pants on.
Move front and back.
take pants and boxers off, sit back down and poo & pee.
I have a phobia of pooping anywhere but my house.
some DIRTY DIRTY bastards (all old people) work in my building... I'm talking blood stains on the seat.
I recommended these to our building manager, and he laughed. >:|
I love that term, but no, I don't use one. Just wipe it down and let her rip.
Not a big fan of pooping in public restrooms although I have to make an exception for the office. It's not great but with 4x cups of coffee a day, something's gotta give.
Public restroom? Yeah, most of the time.
Work restroom? Wipe down and go.
funny, I thought i was the only one that called them that.
I don't understand the phobias of doing 2 in the public. Put two of those suckers down. I insulate w/ a layer of TP, then the gasket.
although if you put it in the front it may prevent your peen from touching the bowl or water (:yikes:) but it may also block your piss and splash back on you.
Wipe and poop.
I Use the first wad of paper as a wipe down and piss check test,then float it in the bowl as a splash retardant device. Then one to two strips of paper as makeshift gasket. I don't like those krinkly gaskets sliding around and touching my stuff. Getting away from the toilet when flushing is key in stalls with a photo eye flusher. Some industrial toilets flush so fast shiz spray goes everywhere.

try a google search. Lots of discount pet supply places have vests/harnesses. Ebay often has them. Here's the cheapest one that came up on a search:
www.gowiredog.com It's 25 dollars.
If you sew, it would be pretty easy to make one, here is a pattern and it costs less than 10$ for materials:
Or post on craigslist in "Pets" to see if anyone has one they don't need anymore.
I am assuming that you are actually training this pup to be your service dog... It is WRONG WRONG WRONG to misrepresent your pet as a service dog to be able to take them places. And please don't take your pup out in public until their basic obedience is very good, it makes ALL Service Dogs look bad to have one misbehaving one. I hope you are working with a professional trainer.

Volleyball Travels to the Lone Star State for Two Matches
Oct. 3, 2013
CINCINNATI - Head Coach Molly Alvey and the University of Cincinnati volleyball team will head to Texas for a two-match conference road swing against Houston and SMU. The Bearcats will face the Cougars at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 4 and will play the Mustangs in Dallas, Texas at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 6.
The trip to Texas will be a homecoming of sorts for many members of the team, including four players who reside in the Lone Star State. Junior Caitlin Ogletree (Montgomery, Texas/Montgomery/Houston), sophomore Morgan Allred (Carrolton, Texas/Hebron), freshman Mallory Blauser (Round Rock, Texas/Round Rock Christian Academy) and freshman Shelby Green (Dripping Springs, Texas/Dripping Springs) will all be returning to their home state for the matches.
The first match against Houston will also provide head coach Molly Alvey and assistant coaches Nicole Miller and Steve Vencl with the opportunity to return to UH where they coached prior to taking the reins at Cincinnati. Alvey served as the head coach of the Cougars for two seasons (2010 and 2011), her first stint as a head coach. Miller coached alongside Alvey for both seasons at UH while Vencl joined the duo in 2011.

The State Government says it will investigate why Queensland Rail (QR) took five weeks to inform the Rail Safety Regulator (RSR) of potential hazards.
All services had to be suspended in the state's central west on Friday amid concerns more than 70 wooden bridges had not been properly inspected.
The RSR yesterday reopened the Emerald line to Longreach and Winton and launched a formal inquiry into claims staff had falsified safety inspections.
The lines from Emerald to Clermont and Springsure remain closed.
Premier Campbell Newman says QR may have broken the law by failing to inform the regulator sooner.
"We're going to get to the bottom of this," Mr Newman said.
"We are not going to put up with an organization that is top heavy, that is wasting their money but is not actually doing their fundamental job by ensuring that the network is safe." Mr Newman says failure to inform the Minister and the Director General of the Department of Transport and Main Roads is an incredibly serious thing and it may even be an illegal act.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Scott Emerson said one person had left QR and another had been suspended over the allegations.

Charles scares me due to injury but in Reid's system I think he could be be a 1400/10TD back with 50 catches and another 5 TD
probably right but I can dream
quote:2010 was Vick's 12 game domination.
But 2011 was the return of Vick correct?
quote:Go with your gut. You don't want to be talked out of picking someone you want and regret it later.
Rice and Charles are my two main choices..
quote:Yes, his huge outlier game could be cause for concern. 251 yards/4 TDs.
May be because majority of his points came in a handful of games. He topped 100 yards 5 times, scored 11 touchdowns (6 in 2 games) but he did have 49 catches

Boxing back in Bay St. Louis!
By Charlie Weedon / Extreme Sports South LLC
On Friday and Saturday night, two consecutive evenings of live boxing was held at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis, MS. On both nights, premier New Orleans Boxing Promoter Les Bonano of Leslie Bonano, Inc. d/b/a BRAWLIN' IN N'AWLINS entertained a standing room only crowd of boxing fans.
Friday, July 24:
In the Main Event "Smokin" Jay Krupp (13 – 2), a New Orleans native currently residing in the Catskills and being trained by former Mike Tyson trainer Kevin Rooney, threw a resounding right which KO'd veteran Anthony Bowman at 2:57 of the 2nd round. Bowman, a veteran of 45 fights, bobbed, weaved and stayed away from the stalking Krupp in the 1st round. Round 2 Jr. Middleweight action heated up with Krupp dropping Bowman for an 8-count prior to his smashing right near the end of the round.
The Female Welterweight match-up between Kimberly Connor (4 – 1) from Little Rock, AR, and crowd favorite Dora Baptiste (1 – 2) of Gulfport, MS ended at 1:37 of round 3 when the referee stopped the fight after Baptiste was knocked down by the clearly more talented Connor.
Clearly the most action-packed battle royal of the evening took place between Heavyweights Bobby O'Bannon (6 – 2, 6 KO's) of Mobile, AL, and Francisco Moncivais (1- 1), a former 2-time National Jr. Olympic Heavyweight Champion from Laurel, MS. These two behemoths battled like Middleweights until 1:39 of round four when an exhausted O'Bannon (254-pounds) scored a KO over the 288-pound Moncivais. With the crowd on its feet and cheering throughout, the action started with Moncivais decking O'Bannon with a left in round-1 and continued with both combatants alternately on the canvas during the first 3-rounds. Moncivais had to be transported to the hospital for emergency medical care.
In other bouts: Jarrard "The Lethal Weapon" LeBlanc of Breaux Bridge, LA, improved his Jr. Middleweight record to 9 – 0, 6 KO's by winning an Unanimous (60 – 52) Decision over outclassed veteran Moises Martinez from Rome, GA; and seasoned veteran Bobby Aucion of Scott, LA easily defeated Miguel Alfaro from Laurel, MS. in their 4-round Welterweight bout.
Saturday, July 25:
The Cruiserweight Special Event had the SRO crowd screaming and on its feet as 45-year old Tommy Harper of Destrehan, LA, (15 – 2) returned to the ring after a decade long retirement to totally dominate the 4-rounds of action against James Johnson (26 – 33, 18 KO's) from Dallas, TX. Johnson, a former NABO Light-Heavyweight Champion, and 15- year younger pugilist, was stalked, battered at will and tormented by an aggressive Harper from the opening bell until the closing moment. The Unanimous Decision by all three officials was 40 – 36. Harper immediately went back into retirement after stating that, "This last fight was dedicated to his children, who never had the opportunity to see him fight in the past".
The Main Event of the evening was the slugfest between Jr. Welterweights Gary (The Southern Pride) Bergeron (10 – 4 -, 6 KO's) from Chalmette, LA, and Henry (Ambush) Mitchell (11 – 8, 1 KO) of Ft. Walton, FL. Both fighters battled toe-to-toe for their entire 6-round battle royal, the officials awarded a Unanimous Decision to Mitchell by scores of 59 –54, 58 – 56, and 58 – 55.
Mighty Mason Menard from Rayne, LA improved his record to 5-wins against 1-loss in a rugged match-up with Bobby Hill (1 – 3) of Gulfport, MS in their 6-round Jr. Lightweight bout. At times Menard scored with some serious lefts, but Hill gave him a tough time in every round.
The wild swinging, hard hitting Light Heavyweight first bout between two fighters looking for their 1st victory ended at 2:25 of the 2nd round when James Jenkins of Atlanta, GA was awarded a TKO over James Jones from Nashville, TN.
Welterweight Brad Soloman (7 – 0) from Atlanta, GA, was originally schedule to battle Mikel Williams in the Main event; however, Williams did not show up for the fight. Hasin Louis of Greenville, MS. agreed to take Williams place. Soloman won by KO at 36-seconds of the 1st round.

Report: Flyers sign D Lamarche from QMJHL
Posted By Dave Isaac On May 30, 2013 @ 11:48 am In Uncategorized | 1 Comment
When Adirondack Phantoms coach Terry Murray prepares for training camp, he'll have some fresh faces on his blueline. Mark Alt, acquired from Carolina as part of the Brian Boucher trade, played only six games at the tail end of the season. Andreas Lilja will be gone and likely the same for Blake Kessel, who played only seven games this season.
Then there's Maxim Lamarche, a 20-year-old defenseman the Flyers signed as a free agent according to Mikaël Lalancette [1] of TVA Sports in Montreal.
It's a two-way deal for Lamarche, who spent the last four years in the QMJHL with Baie-Comeau Drakkar. The Laval, Quebec native had his best season this year with nine goals and 34 assists in 55 games. He was also the team's assistant captain. His teammate there was Petr Straka, a right wing the Flyers signed in April.
The 6-foot-2, 192-pound blueliner represents the 42nd contract on the Flyers' books for the 2013-14 season.

Enable the setiQuest SonATA software to run on many types of Linux distributions
From setiquest wiki
We have recently released the SonATA source code to the open source community. SonATA is our extraterrestrial signal search and detection software. See setiQuest.org for more information.
Currently we state the SonATA software will only run on OpenSUSE 11.3. Running on only one Linux distribution is too restrictive for the open source community. We would like to expand this to include several of the most popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, or more.
The project would involve the following:
- Become familiar with downloading, building and running the SonATA software.
- Create a list of the most popular Linux distributions that SonATA should be ported to. Include MacOSX, Solaris, BSD, and if you think it is possible, Windows.
- Attempt to download, build and run the SonATA software on other Linux distributions.
- Document and fix and issues that make SonATA not run on any of the Linux distributions.
- Interact with SonATA programmers to fix any issues that involve code changes.
- Improve the installation procedures so the download, build, and install instructions are the same for all Linux distributions.
- Create a detailed report on the project and how the SonATA source code was improved. We would like to release this information as an open source project improvement case study.
Candidate Qualifications
The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:
- An interest in open source project infrastructure
- Good writing/documentation skills
- Familiarity with more than one type of Linux distribution
- A desire to improve the open source community.
The Mentor
Jon Richards will be the mentor for this project. Jon is the primary person responsible for leading the team that open sourced SonATA. Jon is currently mentoring a group of students from Carnegie Melon University, in their Masters project. Jon will be supported by two other GitHub committers to SonATA software – Jane Jordan and Ken Smolek.

I love the design, and the little plastic pouch keeps it safe. Wouldn't want to have it roaming free in my bag though as it would scratch for sure. Also smaller than anticipated, but that adds some versatility I wasn't expecting. Wouldn't say it was worth $12.50, but happy with it none-the-less.4
I do love this little mirror. Surprising clear, undistorted image, which was a very pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, though it's unbreakable, it can get scratched fairly easily. Too bad it's not in compact form. The little plastic sleeve it came in tore at the seam the first time I took the mirror out, so it was ineffective as long term protection. Still, once it's scratched beyond usefulness, I'll definitely buy another to replace it.4

hi can anyone tell me i know this is a stupid question maybe but i seriously don't know this i update my pc and made a image of my system incase something happen i can just restore my system from a bootable disk but what i need to know is will i have to do all the updates again if i do a restore thanx
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
(Solved) - updates(10 posts)
That depends; What software did you use to create your backup image?
The backup imaging software we recommend most here on HTG is Macrium Reflect_Free.
EDIT: Read this... https://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-set-up-a-good-backup-system-?replies=44
i used "euseas todo backup" because macrium reflect wants me to download some stuff before i can make a boot disk
What I do is create a new Image every month after running Windows and Application updates, that way you won't have to install to many updates, normally I have 2 Images and when I create a new one I delete the oldest. So if there an issue with the latest Image I always have another one to fall back on.
That's just me!!
boeta, which OS are you using, 32 bit or 64 bit?
This is the Macrium rescue disk ISO for 64 bit OS... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/327277....._64bit.iso
This one is for 32 bit OS.... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/327277....._32bit.iso
OK, then all you have to do is download and burn this ( Macrium rescue disk ISO for 64 bit OS... ) to a blank cd/dvd and you have your Macrium rescue disk, compliments of htg member whs who created and uploaded it so we other htg members wouldn't have to download that ridiculouly HUGE 1.7gb WAIK file.
Use this to burn the image to disk. http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn/

text: Hey all, So earlier today i was being distracted talking to a friend (no excuse for what i did), totally misjudged where i thought a light pole was and i ended up taking out my whole rear driver side quarter panel. My right side was a little dinged up from a few years earlier from having my pops back my truck into a couple trailers. (we just suck in parking lots apparently lol). Anyway, it got me thinking, it would be super expensive to get some new quarter panels for my truck, its a 2003 1500HD, its almost 800 a side or so. SO i started brainstorming for alternatives, and i think the coolest thing and a good experience for me would be to build a flatbed for my truck. Just lift off the whole bed, and make a new one. Does anybody have any experience with such things? Or suggestions? Im not going to make it look super professional, but its not going to be tacky either. Thanks from the North.

Leaking flashing
Hi all. New guy here. I have a question about who the right repair person would be to contact regarding leaky chimney flashing? Roofer or chimney repair?
If your positive it's just the flashing a trusted local handyman might be your best bet, but you asked about a roofer or a chimney man, so I would advise the roofer, he'll probably be cheaper than the chimney guy.
Hope that helps out & welcome to the forums! :D
an experienced ROOFER (not any toothless shingler) should be able to take care of the chimney flashings. I would not trust any old handyman to work on your roof, as he is most likely underinsured and underqualified. Look for a reputable roofing company and expect to pay more than a handyman for their expertise and professionalism.
Any good carpenter or roofer could fix your roof problem.
A general handyman though I would not enlist for such a project.
I finally found a carpenter that has the personal strength to admit that he knows jack about roofing. AMEN!
Carpenters should stick to building and leave the waterproofing to the roofers. I have repair countless roofs installed by carpenters.

Counselling for admission for 50 additional seats for MBBS was conducted at Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, on Wednesday.
While in its first counselling conducted on June 23, the college had only 50 seats, the Medical Council of India (MCI) had, over a fortnight ago, allowed the college to increase its MBBS intake by 50, doubling the seats.
At the counselling session on Wednesday a few parents submitted a representation against the colleges decision to shift students who had taken admission under the SC category under the general category with retrospective effect. Objecting to the move, parents said that while the college make the shift in the fresh merit list prepared for the additional seats, it could not do so for those who have already been admitted to the college in the first counselling session.
Confirming that they have received the representation, college authorities said it would be considered.

Cornerback Orlando Scandrick took full responsibility for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, which led to his four-game suspension to start this season.
Scandrick met with his teammates before the walkthrough on Tuesday to apologize for using a banned substance.
"I made a bad decision," Scandrick said. "I'm responsible for what goes in my body. I know I'm responsible for what goes in my body. It's a very humbling experience. I'm very sorry. I apologize to the Jones family. I'm very sorry to my teammates. I'm very sorry to the fans of Cowboys nation and I'm very sorry to my family."
Scandrick said he ingested something in his body during a vacation in Mexico that was for recreational use. He stressed that it wasn't a performance enhancer like anabolic steroids, rather a recreational drug known as "Molly" that contained an amphetamine.
"In no way, form or shape was this trying to gain a competitive edge," said Scandrick, who will forfeit approximately $1 million in loss of game checks and repaying part of his signing bonus.
"I simply made a mistake. It was a dumb mistake."
Asked how the team reacted to his apology, Scandrick said: "We're a team. We're a family. We're here for each other. I just let them know that I'm sorry and that if you can learn anything from me that you need to do all the right things even when no one is looking. If you don't think anyone is looking, it matters."
Coach Jason Garrett felt Scandrick handled the situation well and said the team will support him during the suspension.
"Orlando was completely apologetic about it," Garrett said. "He realizes it was a mistake. He was very upfront about it and it's behind him. What we are going to do now is make the best out of this situation in regards to him and the football team. It's important for him not to lose his spirit because he brings a lot to our team."


text: Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Ive been working a new job that has put a lot of responsibility on my plate. I quit working at Big O Tires as Ive never truly enjoyed busting tires for a living. I decided to go to work for O'reilly's since they opened a new store here in Cortez, CO. went in as a sales rep and they've moved me up to Assistant Manager within a 3 week period. The District manager must like what he sees in me. Its had me working close to 70hrs a week since there is only me and the store manager that can open and close the store. :money: hopefully that will change soon lol I'm tired. Any who, I hope you have all been well. [MENTION=1]Steve[/MENTION], I still have you and your family on my prayer list. Hope your son? is doing much better!

Both make 300k mile engines but have very different characters. Which do you choose?

Come on! everyone knows HONDA makes best NA 4 cylinders.
I would say Honda...
_________________________"There is no better high than discovery."
Honda knows how to push more out of their engines. That is something I can appreciate. But I still dig the VVTi's design over the VTEC technology for the difference in how they work. VVTi is still more fluid in action.Cam tech aside, Honda might take it for me even though I've not driven one.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
Honda = torqueless.
Toyota = Choice of old people.
They also have their 1.5L putting down 109hp/105 lbft back in 2007, and 117/106 now. The Yaris is still running a languid 106/103 with an engine dating back to 1999, and doesn't run quite as sweetly as it once did (slight intake tract and head changes). Fine, I like the torque of the Toyotas. But again, I haven't tried a Honda.

Tonavi:Honda = torqueless.Toyota 4 bangers are not very torquey either.
_________________________"There is no better high than discovery."
I'm going to go with Honda because the only experience I've ever had with either was the 4-cyl in an S2000 and it was a blast wringing that thing out to 9k rpm or the 4-cyl in a Civic Si which was also fun to wind out

The 2AZ and 2AR have plenty of low speed torque.
Honda. Give me a B16.
- KumarCurrently rebuilding my RX-8.
Probably the Toyota if only because by memory they have more low end torque. Not that there is anything wrong with Honda 4 bangers.
___________________2010 Taurus SELFastbacks are for Louvers! Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. - George Carlin
Does Toyota even remember how to make a performance inline 4 cylinder engine? Honda's 2.4L from the Accord and TSX (as well as the new Si) revs freely past 7000 rpm and has been putting out 190 to 200 horsepower for some time now, with decent torque to boot. The 2.0L from the old Si was nice too. What 4-cylinder does Toyota offer that isn't part of an appliance with no character?
Nothing is really "wrong" with either. Hondas are generally the top end screamers but Toyotas are a lot more liveable.

Scott Van Pelt likely has among the largest microphones of any Terps fans in the country. He also has a pretty good sense of where Maryland fans are on many issues, because he's hung out with them on message boards and at tailgates, and because he's been one of them for a long time.
And I think his lengthy discussion of the Big Ten move on his ESPN Radio show Monday afternoon will probably — with time — become the majority opinion among Maryland fans. To summarize: Van Pelt was sad, and angry, and nostalgic about the ACC that he grew up with — but also accepting that things change, and that the old ACC was already gone, and that payday and stability offered by the Big Ten were too much to ignore.
Aside from justifiable misgivings about procedural issues, seems to me a great many Maryland fans are already coming around to this point of view.
Excerpts of Van Pelt's thoughts, which first appeared on Testudo Times and can be heard here.
"Much of my youth is framed by memories that are tied to the ACC. The great players, the colors, the fight songs, the mascots, the coaches. It's a link to my youth. It's a link to my dad, that was a Terp, who I grew up sitting next to in Cole and Byrd, who died when I was a student at Maryland. And like I've often said on this show, I am an ACC guy.
"As of this morning, after nearly 60 years as a charter member of the ACC, Maryland heads to the Big Ten. I have heard it said that soldiers who lose a limb in battle said they can still feel the sensation of that limb that they lost years before, and I am admittedly nostalgic about the ACC. And I admittedly feel genuine sorrow today about this. And that's the right word. It's sorrow. And I'm not trying to be melodramatic, but I feel sorrow.
"But I realize that what I feel nostalgic about is something that was lost a long time ago….Syracuse and Pitt are coming to the league and that means that going forward, Maryland was guaranteed in basketball two home-and-homes: with Pitt and Virginia. Now I don't mean any disrespect to Pittsburgh, but they don't mean any more to Maryland than Maryland means to them. And that was supposed to be our rival, going forward?
And speaking of rivals — or, not our rival — so many Maryland folks now are lamenting the loss of what we would call The Duke Game. And let's remember, folks: that's a school that doesn't see Maryland the way Maryland sees them. But besides that larger point, in the immediate future, there'd be far more years in basketball where you would not have a home game against Duke than years that you would.
So what it feels like is today, people are having a funeral for something that in many ways died a long time ago. None of which is reason to walk away from the ACC, but it's at least context to consider what the Big Ten provides my school. They famously talked about 27 teams — they had 27 programs. As was well-documented, that was too many. They ran into some issues on the money front.
"And this provides an infusion of money. A HUGE infusion of money. The numbers the Big Ten was throwing around, I don't think anybody imagined….and for an athletic department that was largely living check-to-check, this had to happen….
"It's really strange to emotionally think about transitioning to something else, but I see the positives. As I told our athletic director Kevin Anderson as we spoke throughout this process, look, I love the ACC, but I love Maryland more. And if this is good for Maryland then I'm on board. And I'm assured that that's the case.
So that tempers the sorrow that I feel. And as Lefty Driesell used to famously say, 'I'm not gonna get caught lookin' in the rearview. I'm lookin' out the windshield.' And as I look out the windshield, I see very different terrain ahead. But with the terrain in college athletics that are shifting, it's like sand beneath a lot of people's feet. I feel like the Big Ten and commissioner Delany — who seems to be playing chess to some others' checkers — I feel like there's a bedrock beneath Maryland….

Tiverton native, East Providence golf pro plans 'Kili' climb for Alzheimer's awareness
EAST PROVIDENCE — Following the success of a previous endeavor to help those in need, local golf professional and outdoor enthusiast Devin Beck will attempt to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa in early February.
Mr. Beck, an assistant pro at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford and a Tiverton native, last crossed the country on his bicycle, pedaling some 3,000 miles from the home of the International Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Fla., to San Diego, Calif., in support of earthquake victims in Haiti.
This time, Mr. Beck, son of the late Don Beck, an East Providence native and himself a former golf pro at the Acoaxet Club in Westport who passed away in April of 2013, will be raising money for the Alzheimer's Association of Rhode Island.
"I'm dedicating both the climb and all of the money I raise to my late grandmother, Mary Gallagher, and also to one of my best friend's grandmother, Evelyn Sylvia, out of New Bedford who is currently stricken with the disease," Mr. Beck said.
His bike journey bisecting the United States last year helped raise some $6,000 for the non-profit group Executives Without Borders, which, through a program called "From Trash to Cash," worked to provide essentials, including clean water, to needy Haitians following the devastating earthquake that racked the Caribbean nation in 2010. His sojourn took 46 days and garnered about $4,000 more than he had hoped to raise.
From February 2 to 9, Mr. Beck, 25, along with his college roommate, Erik Robinson, will join an expedition of "Kili," the tallest free-standing and hike-able mountain in the world. Mr. Beck, a climbing novice, said he can attempt to ascend Mt. Kilimanjaro because no technical expertise is needed to traverse the noted landmark, which reaches a daunting 19,341 feet into the sky.
"I decided on 'Kili' because I like to do the extremes," Mr. Beck explained. "It's the highest mountain in the world you can hike and reach the summit without having to know anything about technical climbing. I like to go big and this is as big as it gets with the use of ice picks and carabiners (metal loops). It presents a formidable challenge."
Mr. Beck is using the website "Crowdrise" to raise money for his cause. To date, he has raised slightly more than half his goal of $2,500. Those wishing to donate can visit www.crowdrise.com/ClimbingKilimanjaroforalz/fundraiser/DevinBeck.
