Jolyon Palmer press release
Jerez GP2 Tests For Palmer With iSport And Addax
Jolyon Palmer will take part in both days of the official GP2 testing at Jerez in Spain next week with leading teams iSport and Barwa Addax. The 20-year-old moved to GP2 for 2011 with Arden, as one of just a few rookies, and put in some promising performances.
At Jerez, Jolyon will undertake the first days testing on Wednesday 28 September with the iSport squad, before moving to Barwa Addax on the Thursday.
Palmer, who finished second in the 2010 FIA Formula Two championship, is looking forward to the opportunity: "Moving to GP2 was clearly a big challenge and everyone knows how difficult it is for first year drivers with the limited track time. However, Arden was a great team to be with in my first season and I have learnt a huge amount. I was pleased to put in some encouraging drives but now I'm ready to step up my performance and I'm confident I can be very competitive in 2012, when I hope to continue in GP2."
"I am excited to be testing for both iSport, clearly a top team and frequent podium visitor, and Addax who won this year's GP2 teams' championship. I have a great chance to develop, learn and prove my potential and am I grateful to both teams for providing the opportunity to join them."
Official GP2 testing takes place on 28/29 September in Jerez, Spain, with full coverage on Jolyon's website and Facebook page.

Demons Running Through My Slate
Original Author: Krulltar
Elsha grabbed hold of the Krulltar's fur hood and yanked his head down to her eye level. "What do you mean 'They Know'?"
"They know I'm linked to the lil' abomination."
Elsha began to verbally assault Krulltar. Elsha's rant went on for nearly a minute before Band Baby and Mask dragged her away.
Elsha finally noticed Krulltar's skin had turned pitch-black. The outline of his body blurred in and out of focus. One of Krulltar's eyes turned violet, while the other one turned a dark yellow. Krulltar made a low guttural hissing sound as his forked tongue reached out and tasted the cold winter air.
Meanwhile in G2's Secret Lair
Lil' Krully stood in the bathroom doorway, holding his pants, and declared "I made poopies! I'm Commander of the Potty!"
"Did you flush, el Comandante?" G2 asked.
"Yes, and I wash'd my hands… oh, and Krulltar's mad also."
"Thanks, now go play in the other room while the grownups talk, ok"
"Ok, but he's really REALLY mad… can someone to put my pants on?"

The Katrina event brought GIS and spatial technologies into the forefront of many people's minds.After the evacuation, tens of thousands of people were grasping for any information they could find about their homes and businesses.Familiarity with geo-viewing tools like Google Earth, Google Maps, NASA WorldWind, and Microsoft Virtual Earth and access to the Internet gave people the means to investigate their own personal situations from afar - utilizing tools similar to those geospatial practitioners have used for years.A mass democratization of geospatial technologies took place in the country's time of crisis.
There are two sides to the geospatial coin, however.First are the tools and interfaces, of which many in the geospatial community are well aware.Second are the data, the critical currency that provides timeliness, accuracy and relevance.This article will discuss the group of open source GIS developers, academics and private industry folks who developed and deployed the Katrina Imagery Warehouse to aggregate and provide access to Katrina disaster data in real-time, as the situation unfolded.
A Heterogeneous Group Responds
This story starts a few days after the hurricane when the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its Applanix/Emerge-collected imagery for the affected areas.While NOAA has the capabilities to generate ortho photography, it made the decision to continue to focus its efforts on mass data collection and providing image trajectories, and left the job of ortho-rectifying and mosaicking the imagery to others.One individual quickly saw that this job needed to be done and decided he had the resources to do it an email client, a Web browser, an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) connection and the network.That individual was Norman Vine, of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of New Hampshire.
Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs, made a point in his book about communities of individuals springing up around their common interests, and access to powerful communication technologies.Vine decided to create a mob around ortho-rectifying the NOAA imagery with a goal of providing the data in as many formats possible with whatever means it could gather.This mob eventually became the cast of characters that coalesced into the Katrina Imagery Warehouse project team.
The Team: First Wave
Enter members of the OSSIM team. Vine had been collaborating with OSSIM members on osgPlanet, a 3D viewer for OGC WMS and native format geospatial data.OSSIM is the open source raster processing guts of many commercial, government and open source software packages.It excels at creating image processing chains for tasks like ortho-rectifying and mosaicking.After inspecting the data, members of the OSSIM team, including Mark Lucas, Garrett Potts and Scott Bortman, approximated an Applanix sensor model.[A sensor model is an understanding of the geometry of the sensor.It's needed to process the raw data.]
Next on board was John Graham of TelaScience. Graham describes TelaScience as "my answer to many scientists and educators requests for service and support." Vine had met Graham virtually during some of the recent Mars Lander missions.Vine provided some tools to create natural color images of the mission and tools to visualize mission data.He knew of TelaScience's (and San Diego State University's) access to significant computing horsepower and copious bandwidth - two resources that were to be in high demand when it came to dealing with the gigabytes of NOAA Katrina imagery.Vine and Graham quickly connected via the network and set to gathering more resources that would be necessary to reach their common goal.
Now with the sensor model and computing resources, Vine, Graham, and the OSSIM team set the eight-processor SGI Prism visualization system at SDSU cooking the NOAA imagery.The imagery was color-corrected and mosaicked using OSSIM and GDAL [an open source translator library for raster geospatial data formats] and compiled into a tile index that could be initially used in UMN MapServer.Open source MapServer provides Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Service (WMS) support out of the box with simple additions to its configuration parameters.An initial website containing a WMS capabilities URL with links to the imagery was available within several days of the data being captured.
Chuck Stein, of GeoFusion, has collaborated with Graham for the last few years on various projects such as Mars and southeast Asia tsunami visualization.Stein worked with the TelaScience team to process much of the data, including DigitalGlobe Quickbird and NOAA imagery, into the GeoMatrix 3D render-ready format for use with GeoFusion's GeoPlayer 3D ActiveX Web browser-enabled viewer.By querying against the WMS, Charles was able to create the GeoMatrix version of the data for the GeoFusion software.
The Team: The Second Wave
Once the first mosaic was created, more members of the team started to come on board through the initial group.Each member brought skills, software and time to the project.More data relevant to the disaster was acquired and processed at a dizzying pace, and the group provisioned the data in as many formats as they could to provide the widest access possible to the data.The final tally of formats/services included WMS, GeoMatrix, NASA WorldWind, Google Earth, GeoTIFF, RAW and ArcIMS.All the formats except GeoMatrix were created and compiled using open source software.(Here's a list of all the open source software used.)
With the initial data prepared and made available, other people contributed in various ways.Mario Beauchamp used his open source image fusion tool to provide pansharpening of Landsat imagery of the affected areas.Tom Kralidis, of Environment Canada and all-around OGC guru, stepped in to ensure OGC conformance in the MapServer map files. Consultant (and author of this article) Howard Butler participated by implementing geocoding and providing some help files and instructions for using the data and software resources.
Here are a sample of images from the Katrina Imagery Warehouse. You can visit the warehouse to view many more images.
The 12th Man
People with a willingness to help, access to network bandwidth, and ample computing horsepower are only three of the essential ingredients that made this project work.The other important component was the software.Powerful tools that can be easily integrated provide great leverage during a crunch if data access and storage standards are widely implemented.Many of the tools used in this project were open source, and frequently, developers brought software they had written themselves to the project.By implementing standards like OGC WMS, the software allowed members of the team to fit pieces in where they were needed.
Without defined standards or software that team members could easily downloaded, the project would not have been as successful or as timely. Anyone who has attempted to integrate many different pieces of software knows how challenging such an enterprise can be.Attempting to implement a tightly integrated system under a high traffic load (almost 1.9 million hits and 570 gb of traffic while the system was being implemented), a rapidly changing situation, and an onrush of data was even more challenging.The tools allowed the smiths to hammer out a scaleable and full-featured system because they were designed so that they could be easily integrated with others.
Moved by the enormity of the disaster, members of the team mostly contributed to the project outside of their normal day jobs. Infrastructure from SDSU gave the team capacity to have a wide-ranging impact, and open source software played an important part in giving the team the ability to leverage their expertise.This project demonstrates what a highly motivated mob connected over the network can accomplish.

It's been 10 years since Hadoop 0.1.0 was released. Over the past decade, Hadoop has matured in capabilities and adoption and it has enabled the modernization of enterprise data architecture with more capable, flexible tools to help empower data-driven organizations and provide a foundation for large scale, distributed data storage and processing.
Often at major personal milestones – whether it is work, relationships, or other periods in life – we self-reflect and look back to the accomplishments, the misses, the inhibitors to reaching our goal, and then figure out what it takes to overcome the challenges. It's through this reflection that helps us map out a plan to build the best outcome for our future.
Given it's been 10 years since Hadoop was created, now seems to be as good of time as any for organizations, and the people impacted by this technology framework from programmers, architects, data analysts and business leaders to reflect on the business value achieved with Hadoop so far.
Accomplishments with Hadoop
Read the entire article here, Hadoop – now that you're 10, it's time to put you to work

Dave Here! Have A Healthy Day! Don't Make These 5 Mistakes Before 10AM!
Sure, we're here to get you all set up for the new day. Dave and Teri Ann kickin' you in the keister each morning from 5 to 10. But, you've gotta help by not making these 5 mistakes...
1. Don't hit the ground running. Before jumping into the shower, try hugging your knees to your chest (one at a time and then together). Take your time. This will not only help to warm up your muscles, but it will get your blood flowing throughout your body so you'll feel more stable when you rise and shine.
2. Don't do it in the dark (wake up...that is!). Open the shades all the way as soon as you pop out of bed.
3. Don't hold off on your treat until afternoon. Splurge on that latte on the way to the office, or take a few minutes to call your sister, mom, BFF. Catch a quick 20-30 minutes of Dave and Teri Ann on Softrock989 (Smiles and Tunes aplenty). Anything to perk up before the day really gets going.
4. No snoozing. Seriously. Get rid of the snooze function idea regarding your alarm clock. Experts say sleeping in and dozing intermittently throws your body off schedule and will make it harder to fall asleep at night. This was sooo hard for me to learn. Used to hit the snooze 2-3 times but realized that it was better to just to get up, feel the burn all at once
and go with it. Really! JUST DO IT!
5. Don't exercise right after waking up but eat instead. A handful of dry cereal or half a banana on your way out the door is just fine (and a glass of water, of course, since that last time you drank anything was probably 7-8 hours ago).
Now, go make something of yourself! DaveT

Benefits Of Employing Moisturizer And tips For Healthy Skin (In Summer Or Otherwise)
Credit: Opensource. Healthy skin is only reflection of nutritious diet and stress-free life. This is primarily achieved by eating the proper food, and avoiding the utilization of harsh chemicals such as sulfur. Rarely will you find a treatment that is effective for any multitude of skin-types.
If you suddenly remembered a party that you've to attend and didn't possess the time to suit your needs to go towards the salon, try out the following approach to achieve immediate results. As you care for the face, also care for the neck and chest. Sadly your skin around the face is more prone to acne, blemishes, warts, pimples and black heads. You could possibly get Vit C from a variety of fruit and veggies such as: grapefruits, kiwi, mangos, oranges, papayas, strawberries, pineapples, broccoli, kale and brussels sprouts.
Though you have a sunscreen that promises a whole day protection, reapply them anyway, particularly if you're out from 10 A. And even though there is certainly no cure for acne that heals it 100%, you will find a couple of tips that prove very helpful within the fight against acne. Thus, you will want to look at using differentskin care products throughout the year.

Scene 6Mature
Same time, same day.
A determined look forms on Jacob's face as he reaches for the door. The slightly injured Herald stands, now enraged by the sudden bout of violence, and grabs Jacob around the waist. Jacob screams as he does so, though it is not a scream derived from fear; it's a frustrated sound, slightly resembling a growl.
HERALD, trying to calm Jacob: YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET OUT! GIVE IT UP!
Jacob, after a bit of struggling and cursing from the both of them, wordlessly grabs the knife from Herald's hand (it's right in front of Jacob; Herald grabbed him with the armed limb in his rush to catch him) and shoves it through Herald's forearm.
They both freeze completely. Jacob stares down at Herald's newly injured forearm as it bleeds, a look of genuine horror and disbelief on his face. Slowly, he looks up at his captor.
Harold shouts in Jacob's face at the top of his lungs, withdraws, and steps back. Jacob backs away slowly, watching him writhe and attempt to pull the knife from his arm. After a few seconds, he successfully seizes the short moment of freedom and bursts through the door, escaping his undeserved prison.
The sudden light of the morning blurs the shot for a few seconds. As it focuses, Jacob is seen visibly limping along the sidewalk of a small suburb, obviously affected by the business of the city close by. Houses that bear an unnerving resemblance to each other surround him, each with their shades shut, cruelly denying any contact with the outside world.
The child looks around desperately, tears forming in his red eyes as he tries to find help. His journey towards the large city is contained within the next thirty seconds. As he comes closer and closer, crowds start to enclose him; businessmen jostle him around without a second glance.
Jacob, after a long struggle against the crowd, finally gives out. He falls down onto the curb of the thick sidewalk with a small (yet stoic) grunt as the tears that he has been holding in finally stop threatening to appear. His eyes simply close as the memories of his traumatic experience refuse to leave.
A patrolling policeman suddenly spots Jacob from across the street and sprints over, his obvious authority slowing cars as he crosses the street.
OFFICER #1, as he runs: Hey, kid! Kid!
Jacob's eyes close even tighter; the officer bends down next to him and speaks gently as he attempts to pry information from the child.
OFFICER #1: Hey, kid, are you alright?
Jacob shakes his head, a motion that is just barely noticeable.
OFFICER #1: What happened to you?
Jacob doesn't respond this time.
OFFICER #1: Where are your parents?
Jacob looks up this time, revealing his large and frightened eyes. The officer moves backwards slightly to get a better look at him.
JACOB, interrupted by deep breaths every few words: I don't know. I don't know where I am--I don't--
OFFICER #1: Kid, I need you to calm down and tell me what you remember.
JACOB, as his tears return: I can't! I can't rem--I can't tell you--I need help!
OFFICER: Sir? Sir, I need you to stay calm. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me!
The officer's voice has been replaced by Melanie's firmer (yet more businesslike) voice as she speaks to George.
MELANIE: Excuse me, sir. I need you to look at me.
George is shown now--newly-formed tears are in his eyes, as well. He rubs them and sniffs, attempting to fix up his appearance before he turns back to his interrogator.
MELANIE: Thank you.

Why do doctors advise patients to NOT get jaw implants?
I am a male who wants to get mandibular angle implants, specifically to create a lower jaw angle and a more chiseled/masculine "look." Based on my research, I will need posterior mandib. implants. However, from what I've read by browsing RS, it seems that many surgeons advise patients to NOT get jaw angle implants. Why is this? I have heard that fillers can't create a "lowering" effect and can only add width, so it sounds like my only option for obtaining a lower jaw angle is via implants.
Doctor Answers 2
Jaw Angle Implants
The answer to your question is that most plastic surgeons have never done jaw angle implants and, if they have done a case or two, they may have had a bad experience. Jaw angle implants are the hardest facial implant to place correctly and in a symmetrical fashion. In addition the few jaw angle implants styles and sizes that are currently available are often ill suited for patient needs. It is not easy to master jaw angle implant selection and piper surgical placement.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com
Mandibular angle implants
This has been dropped from many surgeons menus due to the highest complication rate. It is difficult to place and match the other side. Then the implant is sometimes stabilized by a screw. The approach is from inside the mouth adding to possible infections if fluid gathers around the implant or it should become exposed.
Sculptra, filler, can be placed inferior to the mandible to enhance the square jaw effect.
good luck

Apriso Sponsored Research Reveals Quality by Execution is Just as Critical as Quality by Design
Research confirms that Medical Device manufacturers with more capable process design and execution can outperform their peers
The report identified that the industry leaders or "Advancers"
In connection with the survey, Dave Empey, Director of Regulatory and Compliance at Zynex Medical, Inc., explained further: "With complaints, are you really getting to root cause, or just writing things up in a file in case the FDA shows up? There is a difference. If you are really trying to get to root cause and find out what you can do on the preventive side, it takes more time on the front end, but saves you pain and money down the road too."
The report, sponsored by Apriso, focuses on the challenges medical device manufacturers face when seeking to grow, increase quality and improve financial performance in the face of complex, dynamic regulatory environments.
Key Findings:
* Industry leaders (to 25% performers) are increasing product complexity, volume, quality and profits at the same time, attributable in part by defining and executing production processes with superb execution
* A majority of the respondents anticipate launching at least 10 percent more new product introductions over the next three years; 24 percent of the respondents anticipate an increase of greater than 20 percent
* Industry leaders' reliance upon IT systems interoperability is directly related to their success; better process integration across functions and plants leads to greater agility, quality, efficiency and profits
* While Quality by Design (QbD) is a great start, the benefits can't be fully realized unless design is accompanied by what can be best referred to as "Quality by Execution;" the most efficient way to execute a Quality process is on an end-to-end basis, across IT systems, locations and functions
Rick Gallisa, Life Sciences Industry Director of Apriso, commented: "Medical device manufacturers are constantly challenged to design and manufacture innovative new products to remain viable. Product life cycles have shortened, global competition has intensified and greater regulatory oversight has put enormous pressure on operational efficiency."
Survey Methodology and Availability
The research for this study was conducted during the first half of 2012 and is based on 123 responses from medical device manufacturers. That survey was accompanied by a small set of telephone interviews. A copy of the research study is available free of charge on the Apriso website.

More Comments of the Day
1. We have a moral equivalence between Andrew Adler talking about a potential scenario in which another group might kill President Obama and a hypothetical someone actually killing Andrew Adler. I hate to be combative, but I don't think talking about someone being killed and killing someone is quite the same thing.
2. This expected response of "Jewish groups" to accuse the entire country of America of "anti-Semitism." As someone who actually does study anti-Semitism, I haven't seen that. Maybe someone could show me an example of that but I'm not going to hold my breath for it.
3. Obviously, the declaration that this is "why Jews are always attacked" is obvious anti-Semitism, since it means that all Jews behave like this man or it excuses racists who believe that they do.
4. Not that it matters, but it isn't incitement, imo.
5. And of course notice the 10 favorites.
Next up we have a response:

The curious, or not so curious thing is that they purport to moderate. But I think that's done by the posting system by and large w/o human intervention. It seems to flag specific words, kicks them out for a humanoid to review. By and large though not everything actually is moderated. And not every post in a moderated thread is moderated. For me though the incongruous thing is even posts which are purportedly moderated are often subsequently deleted and then whomever wrote them is often banned. Kind of makes you wonder who's in control of the madhouse, if anyone. I've been banned innumerable times. And finally they appear to have blocked my IP entirely - for posting purposes.ReplyDelete
By comparison, HuffPo's little skinhead brother, Salon.com has essentially gone to a pay to say plan. You can post if you hold a subscription. After being banned there too many many times, I wrote them a long proposal suggesting just such a method. Why? Because it's clear they have no interest in dialog, they're only interested in hearing their own racist insanity parroted back at them. And wit readers paying for that privilege it's less likely they'd pay for a website they hate and entirely disagree with, so it becomes an infinite loops self congratulation. Which is precisely what it HAS become. And that's fine. Salon is now 17 crazy people agreeing with each other about how the Jews killed JFK and faked the moon landing or whatever conspiracy theory they've cooked up this week. A
In any case, I diverge. HuffPo seems to be headed down that same path. Not that it has to charge people to post but that the 'moderation' as it were has become laughably one-sided. You could paste Hitler's speeches there but for changing a few crucial words here and there and they'd be posted, cheered, commented upon, praised and such.
You want to see some real doozies, take a look at this articleReplyDelete
On a single page...
"Says the Likud senator from NY. So much , you know, for that whole pot calling the kettle black thing. "
"Both of these Israel firsters should be thrown out of office. The recent article in the Atlanta Jewish Times suggesting that the Mossad assassinate the POTUS for his insufficiently zealous Israel worship should be a wake up call to all Americans that their foreign- and even in some areas, domestic- policy has been hijacked by a foreign entity.
America gained its independence from one foreign entity; now it is in danger to becoming enslaved to the interests of another. "
"Schum think more about US and stop pandering for Israel... "
"This is not suprising coming from Charles "I was chosen by God to be Senator to protect Israel" Schumer. "
So basically, business as usual

Henry Siegman rewrites UNSC 242ReplyDelete
"Those circumstances may also induce the Security Council to invoke the "default setting" of Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, which clearly is not the permanent retention by Israel of the occupied territories and the permanent disenfranchisement and dispossession of the Palestinian people, for resolutions 242 and 338 explicitly rule out the acquisition of territory as a result of war, no matter which side started the war."

La Tourangelle
Grapeseed Oil
La Tourangelle
Grapeseed Oil
Grapes have seduced humans for centuries with their fabled red and white nectars. But they have another aspect too: When pressed, tiny grapeseeds yield green-colored oil with remarkable properties. Grapeseed oil has a light flavor and contains a high level of polyunsaturated fat. It can also be heated up to 450°F, making it the ideal healthy cooking partner.
The kitchen is where grapeseed oil comes into its prime. With a smoke point of 450°F, the oil is easy to use in cooking and will make burnt oil a thing of the past. The nutty flavor works well in vinaigrettes with any type of vinegar, never overwhelming the other ingredients. Grapeseed oil is also commonly blended with more intensely flavored oils. Another fact to keep in mind is that grapeseed oil is an excellent substitute for butter or canola oil.
About La Tourangelle
We, at La Tourangelle, are an authentic & traditional producer of specialty oils handcrafting a wide range of delicious artisan nut oils both in France and California. All the La Tourangelle nut oils sold in North America are made in our artisan oil mill located in Woodland, CA mostly from California grown nuts.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Corrections Corporation of AmericaArica Rd. Eloy, Arizona United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
When CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) opened it's largest correctional center to date, I was one of the first officers hired to work there. We opened LaPalma Correctional Center in Eloy, Arizona, in the summer of 2008. When we were in training, we were told that the inmates that would be housed in this prison would be level one and two inmates. That meant that they would be fairly low-risk and not as dangerous. Keep in mind, that CCA is a contract prison business, and all the inmates at LaPalma would be from California. We were also told that, because it was a new facility and we would have alot of senority due to us being in the first training class, that we would all surely be promoted very quickly.
Well, needless to say, the inmates were mostly level 3 and level 4 (Arizona prohibits level 4 inmates to be contracted to the state, so CCA "covered it up"), and VERY FEW of us were ever promoted. The company brought staff from other facilities to be promoted. We were also forced to work very long hours, in some cases three shifts in a row. We were never allowed to take any lunch breaks, even between shifts. Our paychecks were often several hours late, so when you got off of your shift, you would have to wait two or three hours to get paid on payday. Vacation and overtime pay was frequently left out of our checks, and when it was brought to the attention of HR, there were plenty of excuses on why they didn't have to pay it. There were several times that staff members were attacked and injured by inmates, and the said employees were supposedly told to change their stories around, to say that they were injured in accidents rather than attacked. CCA was worried that they would lose their contract if it seemed that they were unable to maintain control of their prison. There were also several incidents involving weapons and untrained/uncertified staff.
All in all, it was one of the most frustrating periods of my life. I worked for CCA for close to a year and a half. I would NEVER reccomend that anyone work for this company. In my opinion, CCA should be investigated for labour violations and forced to compensate all employees that were wronged by the company. To date, there have been several lawsuits involving the company and former employees, including one that forced CCA to pay out millions of daollars to current and former employees.

50: The CruxMature
We walked until night fell upon us with its weight, coming to shut our drooping eyelids and to wrap itself around our weary forms. We had found few signs of recent travel along our snowy path, with only occasional broken branches here and there. This landscape harbored more trees among its hills than our previous searching grounds, solemn though they were.
Ylva had taken charge, being older than Maccon and having more familiarity with the land than I. Not to mention, the woman had a clear knack for leadership. She decided that it was best for us to spend the night someplace along our current route.
"And where might that be?" I asked, looking around the clearing where we stood in yellowed, dry grasses where snow had long since melted. We were surrounded only by the chilled forest.
"I think it would be best for us to use our wulfen forms tonight," Ylva said with a withered quality to her voice. "Then we could just stop here."
I nodded. I had considered suggesting that we simply use the healing water to keep going through the night, but I knew she would have only looked at me in judgement, saying that we should preserve it for when we might truly need it. Ylva and I went into the woods to change out of our clothing and to wrap it loosely around our necks; this way, we could easily keep it nearby without needing to use our hands.
When I returned to the clearing in my more familiar body, I laid eyes on Ylva's wulfen form again. Even through the darkness, the contrast of her ivory coat and her blue eyes left me stricken once more with the sharpness of her gaze. It drew me in and stole my breath. I realized that, in the days I had begun to get to know Ylva, I had felt something I'd never felt before. But I kept this to myself. I was a little embarrassed by these feelings, but at the same time, I didn't quite understand what they meant.
She kept her eyes on me for a moment before telling me, "Look up," gesturing with her jaw. I lifted my gaze skyward to see banners of colored light dancing through the darkness in rainbow flames of splendor. I had seen less impressive versions of the auroras back at the valley of the clan, but they were as mere candles to that hearty campfire of brilliance. I imagined my cares getting swooped up and carried away on the backs of the quiet auroras, into the nothingness of the pitch night sky. I hesitantly admitted within myself that these lands were beginning to win a place in my heart.
"They're beautiful, aren't they?" Ylva asked.
"Yes," I said quietly. "But not as constant as the sea," I grinned at her softly and she nodded her head. Our eyes lingered on each other.
"Hm," Maccon interrupted.
"What?" I sounded a bit more defensive than I had intended.
"I didn't say anything," Maccon said.
"You 'hm'ed."
"Can't a man 'hm' without being questioned for it?"
"I'd hardly call you a man yet... but that gives me an idea." I looked at Ylva with the colorful light surely reflecting in my eyes.
"What if I were to train Maccon in wulfen combat when you're not training me in magery? He could mature in his fighting ability. He could challenge Rezso to a rematch to prove himself and regain his right as chief. He could win back the tribe himself, and I could return to Oli with my obligations fulfilled."
"What, you really think I could do it?" Maccon asked, looking toward Ylva. "And who--"
"Is that what this is to you?" she snapped at me before Maccon could finish, then eased a bit. "I suppose I shouldn't expect to be anything more than an obligation to you. We've only known each other a few days, after all." Her voice hardened again. "But this? I don't care if Maccon's here, he needs to know! Our entire race is at stake, and the only one who can unify the tribes is the last of the Alpha line; the only one who can do this is you. You've got to realize what's more important: one friend or an entire people. This isn't about me or Oliana. It's about all Dechi. And you can't fail us. Not when there's newfound hope."
"Wh-what?" Maccon looked at me, dumfounded.
My speech was rushed with emotion. "You're far more than an obligation to me, Ylva. But I don't know these people. They're not my people. I belong by Oliana's side, where I've always belonged. That's my responsibility. It's all I've ever known. I guess I'm just not the man you think I am."
"I'll say!" Maccon chimed. "You're of Alpha blood? How's that even possible?!"
"No. No, I know you better than that, Dechar," Ylva said, ignoring Maccon's incredulity. "I think I know what sort of man you are better than yourself. You do care about the Dechi. You do wish to see them delivered of their plight, but perhaps the greater problem lies within yourself. It's not a lack of caring. It's a lack of confidence. And I refuse to pass up the opportunity to see my people rise together again on account of your disbelief in your fate," her voice had gone sour.
"Dechar? What the hell kind of a name is that?"
"Be quiet, Maccon!" she spat, her eyes remaining fixed upon mine. Then she spoke slowly. "Stop focusing on yourself and what you may or may not be capable of accomplishing. Focus on the situation of the Dechi race and decide what ought to be done. If you won't fight Rezso, then you might as well leave in the morning. We don't need your help anymore if you're just going to tag along. If you refuse to help, you can find Oliana the old-fashioned way, because I won't be training you any longer. I hope you'll choose wisely, Dechar. I know you will. I'm going to sleep." She turned away, walking a little distance before bedding down in the grass.
I had to come to terms with the fact that Ylva had leverage in the situation after all. I decided to stick around and fight Rezso. But not for a prophecy, not for some clandestine hope. For Oliana.

I'm a lifetime mariner out of Gloucester MA. I started hauling lobster traps by hand in a rowed dory when I was 10 and never stopped. I expanded to commercial lobstering with 200 traps before I finished high school. After high school I went to URI where I graduated with a degree in Marine Technology specializing in navigation, marine engines and hydraulics along with fishing gear and vessel repair. After graduation I sold my lobstering business and moved into the world of commercial fishing with draggers and seiners. I bought my first 40ft dragger at the age of 22 and also owned a gillnetter and a 90ft herring carrier. I am USCG licensed to operate any vessel up to 100 tons. When the fishing industry collapsed I regrouped and got into public safety. I recently retired from my position as Deputy Fire Chief and the shift commander over four stations at the Gloucester Fire Department. I have extensive experience managing crisis of all sorts including shipboard fires and flooding vessels. As a member of the Massachusetts Urban Search and Rescue Task Force I have been asked to respond on a national scale to events such as 911, numerous hurricanes, explosions and many other events of national significance . I created and was the Divemaster for the Cape Ann Regional Dive Rescue team for eight years. Are you getting a bit more senior with health concerns? Maybe a family just starting out with young children? I have been an Emergency Medical Technician for almost 30 years. I have personally provided patient care for everything from choking infants to amputations to seniors suffering from strokes, heart attacks, and diabetic shock. You and your family members can rest assured that I can handle any sort of medical emergency that might arise while you are boating with me. While on the fire department I simultaneously operated Producer Fishing charters out of Gloucester. I named my charter operation after the nickname I earned while I was a commercial fisherman. "The Producer". My crew nicknamed me that for my ability to always produce a successful trip. My motto on my web site was, "If the Producer catches nothing, you pay nothing". While I didn't bat 1,000% I gave away very few trips. I currently own a 1984 Mako center console that my sons and I have completely restored and improved upon with a higher stern, new deck, second fuel tank and much more. The entire project can be viewed on the Classic Mako web site. http://www.classicmako.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13448&whichpage=6&SearchTerms=close%2Cin%2Cstern%2Cof%2C21b If you are looking for an experienced ship captain and professional crisis manager whose life and livelihood has always depended upon making the right decision at the right time then I'm your Captain.

More info about purchasing Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 cigars...
Rocky Patel introduced the Vintage 1990 blend in 2003 and I remember at the time reading a lot of good things about this cigar. This was one of the first praised releases from the company that had just the year prior changed its name to Rocky Patel Premium Cigars from Indian Tabac. Rocky Patel has gone on to make some very good cigars over the years and this one, being one of their first acclaimed releases, was one that I had to sample. As I will discuss below, my boxes were purchased back in 2006. Having finished my first box some time back, I am now down to the last few from my 2006 collection. My palate has changed over the years and perhaps this is why the review is as it is. At the time, I really enjoyed this cigar but as the years went by I lost interest. I decided to pull out one of the 5 remaining sticks from my purchase and give it a whirl some 6 years after purchasing them.

Southwest will begin flying to Costa Rica March 7, 2015! This is especially great news for folks with the Southwest Companion Pass. Because the Companion Pass allows you to bring a companion on your flights for nearly free!
The Southwest Companion Pass is the best deal for domestic travel and it's becoming 1 of the best deals for international travel to destinations just south of the US like Mexico. I'll explain!
Visit Costa Rica and 5 Other Countries With Southwest
Link: Southwest Credit Cards
Link: Chase Sapphire Preferred
Link: Chase Ink Plus
Link: Chase Ink Bold
Southwest will make daily round-trip flights between Baltimore Airport (BWI) and to San Jose, Costa Rica to Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO). Flights begin March 7, 2015.
I excitedly checked the Southwest website to see if I could book a flight, but Costa Rica isn't in their system yet. They'll be sold when the Department of Transportation gives their official stamp of approval.
Emily and I love our Southwest Companion Pass because she can fly with me to any Southwest destination for nearly free! We've mainly flown Southwest to visit family and friends in the US. But now we're tempted to take more trips south!
Outside of the US, you can fly Southwest to:
- Aruba
- Bahamas
- Costa Rica (flights to San Juan begin March 7, 2015)
- Dominican Republic (flights to Punta Cana begin November 2, 2014 pending approval)
- Jamaica
- Mexico (Cancun, San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos. Flights to Mexico City begin November 2, 2014)
What If You Don't Live Near Washington, DC?
You should be able to book connecting flights to Baltimore (BWI). But if you can't you have other options.
- Use your Southwest Companion Pass to fly
- Book short award flights on American Airlines using British Airways Avios points
- Ride Amtrak (if you're in the North East)
- Ride Megabus, Greyhound, etc.
You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points from your Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or (no longer offered) Ink Bold to British Airways.
Folks in other parts of the country may consider using their Southwest Companion Pass to get to Costa Rica or using British Airways points to get to the Washington, DC, area.
You can get Southwest points with the Chase Southwest credit cards. I suggest waiting until the cards offer a 50,000 point sign-up bonus.
Bottom Line
Southwest will begin flying to Costa Rica on March 7, 2015, with direct flights from Baltimore (BWI). Costa Rica will be the 6th country outside of the US you can travel with Southwest.
This is exciting news because the Southwest Companion Pass allows you to bring a companion on your flights for nearly free!
Read more about how to earn the Southwest Companion Pass to get Big Travel with Small Money in the US, Mexico, Caribbean, and Central America!

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.
The location of the hotel is good, being right amongst a number of restaurants and travel agents. It was good to have air-conditioning. The restaurant staff were slow & the food only average, the attached travel agency was seldom staffed, & the room was really too small for a double bed.

Going from 17s to 20s
So I currently have stock 17s with 265 70 17s on them. I found a set of dodge ram 20s with 275 60 20s. Will this mess up my gearing or will I have to get my computer reprogrammed or will it all be alright. Thanx
Your speedo/odometer will be out slightly because of the increased tire size. But that's it. Other than that you'll be good to go!
So it wont mess up my gearing
It will change your overall gear ratio slightly but shouldn't be very much. Since you're staying with a stock wheel/tire combo you're not getting much more weight, just size.
Your dealership should be able to reprogram your computer for the larger tires as well to correct your odometer and speedo.
I've had oversize tires for about 75000 kms. No reprogram, no problems. You're fine
You'll loose a little bit in gas mileage as well. Gonna take a little more umph to get those 20's turning.

Joseph E. Maddy
Joseph Edgar Maddy (October 14, 1891 - April 18, 1966) was a pioneering American music educator.[1][2]
He was born in Wellington, Kansas where both of his parents were teachers. He attended Wichita College of Music in Wichita, Kansas where he studied violin and later joined the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. He was also the first music supervisor of instrumental music in America in 1918 in Rochester, New York.[1] After a short time in Rochester, he was encouraged by Will Earhart to take a job at Morton High School in Richmond, Indiana to revive the outstanding school and community music program Earhart had developed there some years earlier. He remained in Richmond for four years.[1]
In 1924 Maddy was invited to Ann Arbor to be the supervisor of music in public schools and the Music Department head for the University of Michigan, where he developed one of the few conducting courses in the country.[1] and also conducted the Michigan All State High School Orchestra.[3] While teaching in 1925, Maddy organized the first National High School Orchestra to play for the Music Supervisors National Conference (MSNC) in Detroit in 1926.[1][4] In 1927, Maddy was invited to bring the National High School Orchestra of over 250 High School musicians from 39 states, to the MSNC in Dallas that year.[1][4][5][6]
While in Ann Arbor, Maddy also pursued other approaches to music education by developing teaching materials in collaboration with Thaddeus P. Giddings for a radio teaching program.[1] The radio program taught band and orchestra instrumentation with instruction books distributed by NBC.[1] By 1936 their radio program aired five times per week, and believed to have reached 225,000 student listeners. It was sustained until 1940, and employed professional musicians to help with technique demonstrations.[1]
In 1928 Maddy formed the National High School Orchestra and Band Camp,[5] incorporated as the National High School Orchestra Camp on July 6, 1927.[4][6] The camp exists today as the Interlochen Center for the Arts, and has spawned several complementary entities including Interlochen Arts Academy,[7] Interlochen College of the Creative Arts and Interlochen Public Radio in Interlochen, Michigan.[8]
Maddy published and collaborated on a number of instructional materials and courses for elementary band and orchestra including the Universal Teacher, Tritone Folio, the Willis Graded School Orchestra and Band Series, and the Modern School Graded Orchestra Books.[9]
He was a member of the Epsilon Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and a recipient of the Charles E. Lutton Man of Music Award.
He was a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity,[10] and he received an honorary degree from Earlham College in 1965.
