Thank you to Beverly Hills BMW for their support of the autocross program!
Last day to register online: Sat Nov 12, 2011
This event will be the first where we experiment with a new feature, we are calling it; Speed Shop Hands On Tech Session (SSHOTS). We'll be doing SSHOTS with HP Autowerks from Santa Barbara. Harold and his team specialize in M3, E9x, and E8x BMW maintenance and tuning. The HP Autowerks team will be on-hand to consult on the performance upgrades and setup of your BMW. They will also be bringing their pro driver, Jeff Tyler, and shop track-car (1M!) so that you can ride as a passenger in a well driven, well setup car. Their driver will also be instructing and, if OK with you, driving your car to give an honest and educated assessment of it. What first, upgrade anti-roll bars or camber plates? Is it the car that's slow or is it the driver? Which suspension and brake upgrades are the best value for the money? HP Autowerks along with Jeff Tyler have the knowledge and experience to answer those questions.
Entrance to Auto Club Speedway and the LA BMW CCA autocross is free. If you don't plan on driving in the autocross, please drop by and see what these events are all about and get a free ride in a modified 1M.
For drivers, registration is $65 if you pay in advance and $75 (cash only) if you register at the event. Your entry fee includes instruction, lunch and waters. Extra lunches are $7 each, and helmet rentals are $10. Online registration is at MotorsportReg.com
The gates open at 6:00. Registration and tech open at 7:00. There will be a mandatory driver's meeting at 8:30. First car out will be at 9:00. The event will end by 5:00 or dusk.
This event WILL sell out so please pre-register. We don't want to turn people away but we will in order to ensure everybody gets as many runs as possible. No refund or credit will be issued if you cancel less than 7 days before the event. Before that we will issue you a credit toward a future event only.
When at Auto Club Speedway, please respect posted speed limits and other traffic signs. We like having a place to play and would hate for "one bad apple" to ruin it for everyone.

At the risk of sounding naive:
I always see people's license plates blacked out in pictures. My first impression is that they want to protect their privacy and not give out any personal information. However, your license plate is more or less, public information. I can look out my window and get a license plate designation. So, why do people black it out in pics? Am I missing something completely obvious?

Rediscovery of 'lost' treefrogs from the Oaxacan highlands of Mexico

The Oaxacan highlands of Mexico boast an exceptional diversity of stream-breeding treefrogs (Hylidae). Recent surveys in these regions have reported dramatic declines for entire stream-breeding communities, and many endemic species have not been seen in several decades and are feared to be extinct. In 2007 we conducted a rapid survey in two focal regions that were surveyed in 1970 and 2000; both prior to and subsequent to reported population declines. We report on extant populations of six species missing from recent surveys following declines, one of which (Plectrohyla thorectes) had not been seen in over 28 years and was feared to be extinct. We document new populations of Exerodonta abdivita, a species previously known only from its type locality and currently listed as data deficient. We make comparisons with historical records and note changes in species composition and abundance with recent work. Differences in species compositions among studies may reflect population declines and rebounds over relatively short periods. However, we argue that aspects of species natural history in combination with the variable nature of brief surveys may account for some of the observed differences, and are important factors to consider when inferring species declines.

Somali expats fear bank curbs on sending money home
By Mirjam Donath
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Each month, 42-year-old Abdirizak Alibos shows up at a money transfer business in the heart of Minneapolis to send $500 to his three children in war-torn Somalia.
"I send them money that they can pay for ... groceries, school fees, that they can buy health insurance, medication," said Alibos, who escaped to the United States seven years ago and now has a business driving people to medical appointments.
"I can say that 50 or 60 percent of my children's lifeline is remittance," he said.
But he and other Somali expatriates fear that they soon might not be able to give their families any more financial help. It is not money that they are about to run out of but the legal options for sending it home.
About 40 percent of all Somali families rely on remittances from another country, and the estimated annual total of $1.3 billion is more than all foreign aid and investment in Somalia combined, according to a study published last year by human aid organizations Adeso, Oxfam and the Inter-American Dialogue.
For more than two decades, the African nation of 10 million people has been a land of chaos because of divisive clan fights during its civil war and more-recent Islamist militant insurgents with links to al Qaeda.
Commercial banking disappeared in the early 1990s, and Western money transfer companies such as Western Union Co and MoneyGram International Inc do not serve most parts of Somalia.
This leaves the significantly cheaper and more informal money service businesses, or MSBs, to serve as intermediaries between the foreign banks that make the wire transfers and the intended recipients of the money. Continued...

TORY council leaders have denied plans for a Las Vegas style casino in Southampton have been revived.
The prospect of a huge gambling den as part of the "world class" redevelopment of the city's waterfront had been shelved during the recession.
Developers Morgan Sindall are now finalising a masterplan for a £450m regeneration scheme around Royal Pier, officially the council's preferred site for one of the new generation of super sized casinos.
It is understood council officers have been preparing for the casino option to be debated by councillors as early as this summer if the elected members want to put it back on the agenda.
A competition to find a casino operator could then be launched in the autumn. It would bring hundreds of jobs and pump more than £11m into the economy.
But while council leader Royston Smith said he recognised the potential boost for the local economy, he insisted the Royal Pier masterplan did not need a casino to stack up financially.
"There is nothing on the plans for a casino. It's just not an issue at the moment," he said.
The last Labour Government awarded seven licences for a new breed of "large casinos" that can offer 30 tables for blackjack and poker and house up to 150 slot machines with jackpots of up to £4,000. Southampton was one of the winners.
The first opened its doors in Stratford, near the Olympic stadium, last month creating 440 jobs. The operator, Aspers, has agreed to pay Newham Council at least £1m a year from its takings.
Conservative council leaders in Southampton had promised a public vote or "meaningful consultation" in the city before any decision is made on a casino, but are wary of powerful lobbying from both the gaming industry and church groups.
Senior clergymen in Southampton warned it would lead to a rise in problem gambling, debt, alcoholism and other social ills, particularly among the poor.
A Daily Echo poll revealed a very slim majority of the public were in favour of a casino

Haunted by what's hidden behind white curtain
By Sam Cook Forum News Service
DULUTH — I see the white blanket most mornings on my way to work. It's lying on the concrete of a hidden walkway, rumpled and semi-frozen.
The first time I saw it was a few weeks ago, before the deep cold set in. I was making my way up the hill to work. The blanket wasn't lying on the ground that day. It had been suspended, curtain-like, from a low concrete overhang. Essentially, it created a private space under the overhang no more than three feet high and just long enough so that a person could lie on a narrow ledge behind the blanket. The area was warmed by steam that rose from an opening in the pavement.
It didn't take much to deduce that a homeless person was using the space.
I am not the only one who uses the narrow walkway on a regular basis. Many who work downtown pass by the spot daily, going up the hill in the morning and back down to their parked cars in the afternoon. They must have seen the white curtain that morning. They must see it still, lying dirty and wrinkled near the steam vent.
Another area nearby also is used by a homeless man, perhaps the same person. I have seen him sleeping some mornings on a ledge, mummylike in his sleeping bag. The area is littered with plastic bags, paper coffee cups, plastic bottles, paper sacks and foam containers that might once have held leftovers from warm meals. Various items come and go. This week, I saw a pair of men's blue jeans lying in the dirt.
Someone lives here.
When I walked by that white blanket the first day it was there, suspended from the concrete overhang, I was not sure what to do. The day was not dangerously cold. A year or two earlier, I had notified officials that someone was sleeping in the area, so they could make contact with him and get him to a shelter if necessary. But when I saw the person sleeping there on occasion since then, I figured he had made his choice.
So, when I saw the white curtain this fall, I paused for a moment, then moved on up the hill. I didn't want to violate the sleeper's space. It may seem odd, but I felt that if I pulled the curtain aside and roused the man, it would have been like barging into his home.
But the image of that makeshift curtain haunts me. It makes me think about all of those who are homeless in the town I call home. It makes me wonder what I should be doing to help solve the problem.
Now that the extreme cold has been on us for a week, I haven't seen the man. But he may rise each day and move on before I make my morning commute, and he may not return until well after my work day is over. Maybe he has sought other shelter.
I think of him almost every day, wondering how he is getting along, what his days are like, whether he is sleeping someplace warm, hoping he is finding food.
The white blanket won't let me forget him.

Problem: You want to enjoy a little peace and quiet; your neighbor wants to trade life stories.
Solution: Grab a book or a magazine and she should get the hint. If she continues talking, says Tiger, tell her, "I'm sorry―I don't mean to be rude, but I'm dying to read this." Another strong signal that you don't want to chat? Headphones.

Thejealous Man - Poem by lucas altenberg
Nobody loves the jealous man,
They smirk at him,
Laugh at him behind their hands,
Nobody loves the jealous man,
When he walks by they hold close what they love,
When he walks by they point out what he doesn't have,
The jealous man sees,
He sees what they won't see,
What they never choose to see,
Nobody loves the jealous man,
They close their door to him,
They leave him wandering in the rain,
The jealous man knows what they have,
The jealous man knows what they want,
He knows because he wants the same,
Beware of the jealous man,
Because he knows what everyone has,
What everyone wants,
What everyone loves,
Beware of the jealous man,
No one loves him,
No one wants him,
And one day you might wake up to find out that he was you all along.

Faster Internet for a Faster and more efficient Province.
Whereas Federal rules governing Internet Service Providers dissuade foreign investment and open competition, which results in duopolies, monopolies, and needlessly inflated service prices in tandem with atrociously reduced speeds, service, and arbitrary "bandwidth caps".
Whereas said reduced speeds, service, and arbitrary "bandwidth caps" reduces the true potential of business, research and development, and ease of access to consumers in a world where broadband technology is far more advanced than what we have in Ontario.
Whereas the market duopoly or monopoly (depends where you live) that plague regions across Ontario are not conducive to market competition nor technological innovation, while allowing "third party" providers that rent broadband infrastructure from said duopolies or monopoly hasn't shown itself to be an effective countermeasure for the purpose of long term broadband infrastructure development.
Whereas the average internet speed in Canada is 7.6mbps (megabits per second), whilst the average speeds in Japan and South Korea are at an enviable 61mbps and is 46mbps, respectively; and the average cost per megabit per second in Canada is $6.50, which is reflected in prices in Ontario, while the average cost per megabit per second is $0.27 in Japan, $0.45 in South Korea, $0.63 in Sweden, $1.64 in France, and $3.33 in a country with comparable land mass: the USA.
Whereas rural Ontario continues to suffer from the digital divide, whilst Google is establishing 1 gigabit per second speeds in Rural Kansas, which is approximately 130x faster than our average speed.
Whereas the Federal Government can not be relied on establishing an effective digital strategy, given that they haven't shown initiative for 6 years, and that waiting for the Federal Government to act on this issue is time taken away from improving our own broadband infrastructure.
Whereas provincial investment in LTE and fibre-optic broadband infrastructure, with the goal of striving towards the highest average internet speeds with the most competitive price/mbps in the world, in tandem with our highly educated workforce, research & development, incubators, and ideal business environment, can and will make us the most technologically innovative state in the world.
Therefore be it resolved that the Government of Ontario establish a digital economy strategy, with the goal of having preferably the highest average internet speeds with the most competitive prices in the world, connected to every household, business, and institution in Canada, preferably by the year 2020.

Sustainability Frequently Asked Questions:
How to get involved in Climate Action:
Thank you for your interest in making Berkeley even more sustainable! The Climate Action Plan has ambitious goals and it is going to take everyone's help to meet these goals. We invite you to join the
Berkeley Climate Action Coalition
as one way of becoming involved. The Coalition is made up of local non-profits, educational institutions, businesses, faith-based organizations, public health organizations, neighborhood groups, government agencies and committed individuals, all working together to implement the Berkeley Climate Action Plan.
Other ways you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions include:
Replace some of your auto trips with bike, bus, walking, or BART every week
Dry your clothes on a clothesline
Plug all electronics into power strips and switch off when not in use (including cell phone and other chargers, TV, DVD, stereos, etc.
Sign-up for a free home energy audit from CYES (Rising Sun Energy Center), see:
Get a home performance test and do an energy upgrade (for example, add insulation and apply weather stripping to doors and windows) for your home, rebates are available through
Buy products with less packaging
Go solar- get a free solar analysis from SmartSolar (Community Energy Services Corporation), see:
What is the Berkeley Climate Action Plan:
The Berkeley Climate Action Plan (CAP) describes Berkeley's current greenhouse gas emission sources and provides a roadmap for how Berkeley can become more sustainable and reduce community-wide global warming emissions to
below 2000 levels
by 2020
and 80% by 2050. The CAP lists out green/environmental strategies and for our buildings, transportation, land-use, waste, and action on how we can be resilient against the effects of climate change.
Why and how was the CAP developed?
In 2006, Berkeley voters overwhelmingly endorsed ballot Measure G, which set the goal of reducing community greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 2000 levels by 2050. The Berkeley Climate Action Plan was written through a community-wide process and was adopted by City Council on June 2, 2009. It is available online at:
How are we doing on meeting the CAP goals?
Even though Berkeley's population has increased 10%, our community-wide emissions have dropped by 8% since 2000. To ensure that we stay on course to meet these targets, the City is tracking community-wide emissions and other key metrics over time. Check out the
Climate Action Plan Progress
page to review a range of metrics designed to illustrate progress toward our goals.
What does a sustainable Berkeley look like…?
We want to continue to make Berkeley thrive and be an economically prosperous, equitable, and beautiful place. In addition, we want to: see new and existing buildings achieve zero net energy consumption, live in a place where public transportation, walking, cycling and other sustainable modes of transportation are the primary means of getting around, aspire to have zero waste sent to landfills, enjoy food that is grown locally and eaten fresh, value and protect nature, and create a community that is resilient and where the social and economic benefits of climate protection are shared across the community. This is our vision for a sustainable Berkeley.
What does the Office of Energy and Sustainable Development do?
The Office of Energy and Sustainable Development leads the City's sustainability efforts, though all departments are involved in advancing environmental sustainability.
The Office of
Energy & Sustainable Development
works to increase Berkeley's resource and energy efficiency, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, stimulate green building, meet
Climate Action Plan
goals and promote overall sustainability. Some of our current projects include:
Energy Smart Awards
for benchmarking commercial buildings energy use
Climate Action Plan metrics
- tracking and reporting on our greenhouse gas emissions
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure
- encouraging electrical vehicles by streamlining permitting and adding charging stations
Green building permit guides
- making green building easier. Information on how to get a permit for everything from green roofs to graywater, insulation to solar.

Lindsay Lohan released from jail into rehab
By Lisa Baertlein
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan was released from jail under the cover of darkness early Monday after serving 13 days of a 90-day sentence and whisked straight into a rehabilitation program.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Benjamin Grubb said Lohan left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, south Los Angeles, at 1:35 a.m. (0835 GMT), managing to evade the dozens of paparazzi waiting outside for her.
"In line with the court order, she is now under the jurisdiction of a treatment program," Grubb told Reuters.
Lohan, 24, whose promising career has fallen foul to several years of Hollywood partying, was sentenced last month after violating her probation on a 2007 drunk-driving charge by missing a string of alcohol education classes.
She booked into the all-female jail on July 20 and was placed in solitary confinement but her sentence was reduced for good behavior and under early-release programs to combat overcrowding in Los Angeles' budget-strapped jail system.
Her sentence mandated that she begin an immediate 90-day stint in rehab on her release from jail. According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Lohan will be treated for bipolar disorder and an addiction to amphetamines.
Both TMZ and rival outlet Radaronline.com said Lohan would head to a facility operated by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Hospital System in West Los Angeles.
Lohan's representative was not immediately available to comment. Continued...

Digital Audio (FLAC/MP3/etc) Players (DAPs) item created by nightmancometh, Jun 9, 2011
Pros - Detailed & musical
Cons - Slight Hiss with sensative IEM's
Here we have quite an amazing little player. Built like a tank, small enough to fit in shirt pocket, simple stylish design. Sound is where this guy excels, very detailed musical fast. Takes flac files which i love, also you can add to its storage also as it accepts memory cards.
My only real gripe, well two really but 1st one is probably my fault as i dont know how to navigate through its UI properly, but only issue I find as I use Sensitive Custom IEM's is that I hear some Hiss when no Music. But this is not a deal breaker....If this gets fixed in a firmwear update then Jack would have a Monster PLayer.......


text: LONDON, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Capital IQ's Valuations service has been ranked best vendor for high yield bonds and US municipals in A-Team Group's 2012 Valuations Performance Benchmarking report. A-Team Group surveyed valuations managers across 36 Europe-based financial institutions – a mix of asset managers and the securities firms that support them – about what is driving the need for better valuations and how they manage valuations data. As part of the study, respondents were also asked to drill down into the performance of the ten key vendors that supply pricing and valuation data across fixed income asset classes. The respondents ranked S&P Capital IQ's Valuations service the top scoring vendor for high yield corporate bonds and US municipals, number two for investment grade corporate bonds, and in the top four for government/agency debt. The study reveals that the attributes respondents consider most important for achieving valuations transparency, needed to meet regulatory requirements, are the number of contributors or data sources, followed by the range of attributes contributing to the valuation. "Financial Institutions increasingly need to conduct more timely and detailed valuation reviews, and expect increased transparency into the valuation and pricing processes," comments Peter Jones, Senior Director, Europe Pricing Content at S&P Capital IQ. "This includes insight into the underlying valuation inputs, and available pre- and post-trade price and quote data across the spectrum of asset classes." S&P Capital IQ's Valuations service supports clients' needs by providing a cross-market approach to assessing risk and value in portfolios. Through continued investment in pre- and post-trade pricing data and through the acquisitions of Credit Market Analysis Ltd. (CMA), R 2 Financial Technologies (R 2), and QuantHouse in 2012, the company has deepened its capabilities and broadened its asset class coverage. "S&P Capital IQ's valuation and data offering now combines pre-and post-trade pricing data, multi asset class valuation and robust financial engineering tools. Covering global fixed income securities and hard-to-price instruments using both market approach and model valuation methods, the service offers a full solution set," highlights Peter Jones. "Investors, traders, risk managers and operations teams look to S&P Capital IQ for timely and extensive reference data, valuation, pricing and security linkages across complex interconnected sets of data." S&P Capital IQ continues to update and enhance its product offering, providing clients with flexible delivery channels, including an online platform, on-demand software, and data feeds. Product releases planned for the first quarter of 2013 include enhanced transparency features, allowing clients to compare bonds and pre- and post-trade data, as well as the introduction of a Market Activity Score, enabling a greater understanding of the depth of activity in pre-and post-trade price reports.

Cates Brings Battle of Malta Halfway to €150k Guarantee
Dan "Jungleman" Cates was the 150th player to register for the PokerListings.com Battle of Malta, meaning this tournament is already halfway to making its €150,000 guarantee.
Cates took advantage of late registration but wasted no time getting involved in the action. In the first orbit after sitting down he was all-in against the player to his left, check-shoving the turn and getting a fold to instantly increase his chip stack.
Players were visibly surprised to see one of the most successful high-stakes poker pros in the world sit down at their table, given the €500 buy-in, and the player who lost the pot described above couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Cates continued his aggressive approach and was soon up to almost three times the 20k starting stack. Although his chip counts has waned since then he's still well above average.
153 players in total have registered so far, and since the Battle of Malta is a re-entry tournament we can expect some of the players who bust today to return tomorrow to take another shot.
And since local recreational players will only be able to take one day off work to play poker, expectations are very high for Friday's Day 1B.
Battle of Malta on Pace to Beat Guarantee
Tournament staff and players are estimating that the Battle of Malta will get more than 300 runners, meaning it will surpass the €150k guarantee promised by PokerListings.com.
Italian professional poker player Giovanni Rizzo said that before the event began he considered taking the over on a line of 400 players for this event.
Speaking to him today he says he's even more confident in that estimate now.
Tomorrow will also see more online qualifiers play, including players from as far away as Missouri and North Carolina.
And while we'll still have to wait until roughly 6pm tomorrow to find out exactly how many players will enter, it's looking very likely the prize pool will swell past the €150k mark.
Keep an eye on our Battle of Malta page for continuing updates, and check out our blog for videos from the event.

About MeAfter discovering my passion for photography a few years ago I decided to get my own DSLR in 2009.
What started out as a hobby turned quickly into a fascination.
Experienced in different fields of photography I discovered a special interest and strength in Fashion & Portraits.
Before joining a studio community in June 2011 my shootings predominantly took place outdoor.
This studio community especially Roman Bauer, Verena Mandragora Ritzengruber and Tom Binder, just to name a few, became not only very good friends but also had a deep impact on my personal improvement and the ability to take my photography onto a new level.
The Future starts here STAY TUNED.

Re: Most Memorable Fish of 2012
no pics and no great fish fight story...but. While In MaineI found out that I missed the season by 3 weeks. Online info was not very clear. But I went to the fishing dept at the LL Bean store when my wife went up to the guy behind the counter to find a spot-he said that "most" of the streams close on the last of Sept. But there was a stretch about 2 hours north of Bar Harbor that was C/R but great for Land Locked Atlantics. Well, It was close to 4 hours but we made it there. My wife I love her-she sat in the car reading a book while I fished for 3 hours. I caught a few smalls but the Atlantics and the Brookies stayed away. I ran into an older fella that gave me some advise and gave me a fly-he said "use this." Its my own pattern.
I went back to a spot where I saw some of the Atlantics sitting on gravel. 2 casts later I was fighting a nice one. Not too far out so it was no great long fight. But it was a 24" Atlantic. After that I caught 2 more and called it a day.
Thanks Al-the guy I talked to
And thanks to my wife who kept telling me that she was fine and for me to go fishing. Love ya baby.

About MeThank you for visiting my profile!
What an adventure for me! I was born in Slovakia where, at various times, I was a volleyball player, model, and college student. In 2005, University of San Francisco (USF) offered me a full volleyball scholarship so I gathered all my courage and left my family and friends for the United States. In my 4 years at USF, I played in the NCAA Volleyball tournament and graduated with honors with two Bachelor's degrees – one in Accounting and one in Finance.
After graduation, I worked at KPMG as an auditor for three years and became a California licensed CPA. Now, I am preparing for multiple fitness championships and launching my modeling career while working at a Sports Investment Bank. Fitness with modeling has been even more important part of my life since I became a fitness competitor.
Currently, I am in the process interviewing potential agencies to represent me in my modeling career and will narrow the list of candidates shortly. The agencies that I'm considering are located in San Francisco, LA, and New York.
I am full of positive energy and love to smile. I am tall with lean, well-defined muscles and womanly curves. I have been an athlete my entire life so I understand the importance of teamwork, self-discipline, and achieving high goals. Also, I know how to shine in front of the camera... :-)

Pre-poll violence in Sri Lanka
An activist from the opposition United National Party (UNP) has been shot dead in central Sri Lanka.
It is the second killing believed to be related to the general election scheduled for October.
UNP member Chatura Saman Kumara was killed while he was putting up election posters.
The funeral of the other murdered opposition activist, a member of the Marxist JVP, was held in Colombo. Chammika Sudantha Silva was a member of the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (People's Liberation Front).
His party say that he died because he was attacked on Saturday by supporters of the ruling Peoples' Alliance.
However the government has denied that its supporters were responsible.
Mr Silva's family say that he and four other JVP members were attacked by armed government supporters dressed in plain clothes.
The other four are in hospital receiving treatment.
Mr Silva's uncle, KK Thilakaratne, told the BBC that the police witnessed the attack but did nothing to intervene.
"Police officers who were there at that time, they could defend this incident but they didn't do that," Mr Thilakaratne said.
"They were very afraid [of] higher authorities," he said.
The government has accused the JVP of trying to undermine and smear their election campaign by alleging that the attack was carried out with the tacit support of at least one senior minister.
The BBC's Alastair Lawson in Colombo says the attacks have taken place even though President Chandrika Kumaratunga and opposition leader Ranil Wickremasinghe have called for campaigning to be free and peaceful.

Derby 2-1 Leicester
- From the section Football
Derby County ended an eight-game winless run and eased their relegation fears with a gritty victory over out-of-form promotion hopefuls Leicester.
Richard Keogh leapt highest to convert Jamie Ward's inswinging free-kick before Chris Martin's well-directed header doubled the Rams' advantage.
The Foxes improved after a limp first-half display and substitute Jeffrey Schlupp's fierce strike made it 2-1.
But Derby had the better chances late on and held out for a deserved win.
It was an East Midlands derby victory the Rams desperately needed after a good day for many of the Championship's strugglers, and it means Nigel Clough's men maintain their six-point gap over the bottom three.
Derby dominated the first period and were in control against a Leicester side who have now gone five games without a victory and have slipped down to sixth spot following Nottingham Forest's 2-1 win at Hull City.
Leicester looked like a side lacking in confidence against a Derby team who grew in stature and matched their endeavour with quality in the final third.
Captain Keogh gave them the platform for their crucial win, running onto leading scorer Ward's teasing set-piece to head past Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel on 16 minutes.
Martin almost made it 2-0 soon after and the on-loan striker did double the lead just before the break when, after a good move down the left flank, he coolly headed Craig Forsyth's cross into the corner of the net from eight yards.
Schlupp, who has been on trial with Manchester United, increased the tension around Pride Park just after the hour when his blistering shot flew past Frank Fielding after a neat lay-off from David Nugent.
Nugent could have drawn the Foxes level within a couple of minutes, only to shoot straight at Fielding.
But the hosts regained their composure and remained the better side.
Ben Davies saw a fizzing 25-yard effort fly just over the bar and Martin had a deflected effort saved by Schmeichel.
However Derby did not need the cushion of a third goal and held on to win with relative ease despite six minutes of injury time and some sustained late pressure.

Dec. 17, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Since 1943, Balfour has been making championship rings. On Wednesday at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, a representative of the Austin, Texas-based company bestowed some of Balfour's NCAA "victory bling" upon the University of Tennessee track & field staff.
In town for the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Convention, UT Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark and throws coach John Frazier accepted the celebratory jewelry on behalf of 2009 NCAA Indoor Champion Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Clark, who now leads a combined track & field program at Rocky Top after guiding the Lady Vols for seven seasons, and Frazier, who is men's and women's throws coach after only working with the Big Orange women in the past, saw UT honored for the second time in five years. The Lady Vols claimed the national indoor title in 2005 as well.
As a whole, the Tennessee track & field program has won seven national championships. In addition to the 2005 and 2009 NCAA Indoor crowns, the Lady Vols added an AIAW Outdoor title in 1981, while the men's team captured top honors outdoors in 1974, 1991 and 2001, and indoors in 2002.
The UT track & field teams open their 2010 campaign on Jan. 15-16, as they travel to Lexington, Ky., for the Kentucky Invitational.

Installing Kitchen cabinets help
Hi guys,
I am about to start installing my kitchen wall cabinets and my first wall cabinet is an 18 inc.,followed by a 21 inc cabinet, then a 30inc, and so on. My question is, since my first cabinet has to start 1 inc away from the wall, as per kitchen layout so that all cabinets line up. I will only be able to secure the first cabinet to one stud, since they are 16inc in center. Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated, 5/8 sheetrock, studs on 16inc center. Thanks to all!
Perhaps this may help....lay all your upper cabinets on the floor in the order they are designed to fit against the wall. Clamp them together one box at a time, pre-drill, counter-sink, and lubricate each screw. Assemble the entire section and lift it as one and attatch. This process allows you the make sure the face frames stay flush and tight, and more importantly makes for one solid unit that doesn't make it necessary for every cab to be supported by a stud.
Mark your studs on the wall, and transfer those measurements to your pre-assembled cabinet section laying on the floor, also mark a level, and plumb line (on the wall) so when you lift the section as a whole you know where you want to be. Pre-drill the cabinets on the floor, and start the screws to minimize the time and frustration while holding them in place.
Two common methods...cut blocks of wood the exact distance between the counter top and bottom of the cabinets and rest the uppers on the blocks while you fasten them to the wall, or you can also screw a cleat or horizontal support at the desired height to rest the cabinet section while you fasten them
You don't mention if they're face frames or not...so I'll assume they are. If you fasten the back securely to the wall, then the face frames, you shouldn't have any problems assuming you level and shim like you ought. If the back edge of the cabinet seems less secure than you like, you can always cut a piece to fit between the carcase sides and screw them to each other.
If you haven't gotten any yet pick up some 2-1/2" GRK cabinet screws to fasten the backs to the wall, and GRK trim screws to fasten the face frames....they cost like gold but IMO they are worth every penny.
The pony cabinet claw face frame clamp work well...just don't try to over tighten...they will pull the cabinet out of alignment. The best thing about these clamps is centering function for the pilot hole for the screw.
If you don't have one, see if you can beg/borrow/steal...no wait don't steal, it'll set your project back too much, an impact driver. The last kitchen I did, I used the impact driver, and GRK screws, in QS white oak, and they performed beautifully. IF you use an impact driver get at least a couple of bits, I had one shatter I'm sure from the driver.
Good luck!
Thanks guys, you're awesome! What size on the trim screws to fasten the face frames? Also wouldn't a cordless drill (dewalt 18v)work instead of an impact? Thanks for the screw links!
Rippyskippy, can you explain in more details: you can always cut a piece to fit between the carcase sides and screw them to each other. Also fastening the face frames?
One oversized head cabinet screw top and bottom will easily support the first cabinet as the other cabs will screw to it and the wall and help support also. There should be a filler between the cab and side wall to eliminate the 1" gap. You could also take a piece of 3/4" plywood about 11 " wide by a couple of inches shorter than the height of the cab, and screw it to the side wall. You will probably only find a stud in the very corner, but 5 or six screws will into the corner will be more than adequate. Then tack a couple of ripped pieces to the 3/4 ply to bring it out to the 1' dimension. Now you have a solid backing to send a couple of screws throught the side of the cabinet into. If it is an ell shaped run of cabinets and the cabinet in discussion is a "blind corner", you will be able to carefully send a couple of screwns into the side of the face frame of the abutting cabinet, so this coupled with just the two screws in the first cabinet will be sufficient.The safest way to locate these screws is to put a couple of runs of masking tape down the area where the cabinets but, hold the abutting cab against the wall and draw a line down the face of it. When you take this cabinet down,this line will exactly locate the front of the stile, giving you a precise line to reference a couple of holes off of.
Depending on the type of wood, lubrication may or may not be needed...the candle wax is a good suggestion...I've "heard" not witnessed many say when bar soap is used this way, it will cause screws to corrode. Dunno, use wax if needed.
Size? Measure your face frames and give your self some fudge factor. My rails were 1-1/5" so together that makes 3" of material, by the time you counter sink the screws, I would use 2-1/4" or 2-1/2" inch giving you 3/4 to 1/2" margin of safety. Nothing will spoil your install like having a screw poke out where it's not wanted!
Send_it_all is spot on with his clarification of my quick description of fastening the back of the cabinets. It may not be necessary...it's amazing how solid the whole unit becomes when you start securing the cabinets together.
As a side note...for those that have the luxury of having the the wall open, spend the extra time fastening blocking to the studs before rocking. It's really easy after the kitchen plan is complete, when you fasten cabinets, just screw away! Don't forget the blocking for the bottom of the upper cabinets as well. While it may be over kill...it's really sweet to not have to worry about locating studs during install.
Let us know how it's going, and pictures would be appreciated :thumbsup:!
In my old neighborhood, I was helping my neighbor/friend with his kitchen remodel...you know, I'll help you for pizza and beer, plus I love to do this stuff when someone else is footing the bill! Anyway, his walls were crooked and he assembled the uppers on the floor, fastening the face frames together. He wanted to start the cabinet install one evening, and I couldn't help until later. About an hour before I got there, he thought he could grab the 3 uppers by him self and put them on the wall. While the weight wasn't an issue...there wasn't adequate support for the left and right cabinet. The stress cracked the attached face frames, breaking them loose but not off of the cabinet...way too noticeable to leave. He ended up replacing the left and right cabinet. If he had another body, or supported the assembly, I'm sure he would of gotten along fine.
The up side by doing this is that in certain situations it can make installs much quicker if the walls are really crooked, shim behind the cabinet to make it straight on the front, and screw it off.
No offense taken rippyskippy....somethings are taken for granted and your experience was worth sharing. I should have also suggested to make sure you have help, and not to let go until each box is fastened. I think we both agree that pre-assembly is the fastest, cleanest route to take....
The cabinet claw as mentioned is A1... if you can get your hands on a set it's well worth it.
I've had pretty good luck with liquid dish detergent, and the best I think is a wax ring for a toilet.
Thanks guys, I really like the preassembled way. Can it still be done if I have an 18inc by 36, 21 inc by 36, then a 30 inc by 15 over stove top, then a 21 inc. by 36, then a 36 by 15 over the fridge?:whistling2: For some reason I don't think it will work, since two of the cabinets in the middle will be smaller in heights. I have also decided to buy the pony clamps, $50 for the pair and I beleive it will make my life a little easier. I can always sell them on ebay when I'm done. I just found out the cabinets will not arrive until 3 weeks.
You have to use a littile discretion as far as how many cabs to assemble at once. The height differences don't make much difference, but keep into consideration manpower, and fracture points as rippyskippy pointed out. It will work....you might need to ask for help to hold it in place, but I promise you it will save you time and frustration.
Concentrate on keeping the top of your cabinets flush as well as the face frames....so far your advice has been rock solid....like mentioned you do want to add shims or spacers @ the backside of your cabs.(this will be more apparent once you begin assembly)
Thanks :thumbsup:
As for the shims, I would recommend you go to your local lumber yard and see if they have some of the cedar shingles that you can get...I like them way better than the little narrow shims in the shrink wrap, the don't seem to split as bad and have a longer taper.
By the way...it's not been mentioned yet...but I like to remove the doors and shelves....depending on they type of doors and shelves, it'll take maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of the weight away. Make sure you mark their orientation first though...you don't want one installed upside down and don't mis-place the hardware when it's removed.:whistling2: Not that I'd know anything about that...............yeah that's it.
Before removing all the screws for the doors, some have a catch that allows them to come off with out tools.
Take pictures, before and after...you'll not regret it. Something I've been doing on my personal installs...take a current paper, put it in a large zip lock bag and put under one of the base cabinets. It's a time capsule of sots for the next person to rip them out.
Since you have some time for the cabinets to arrive, locate and mark your studs, check and re-check your measurements, and mentally develop a plan of how your going to make this a successful event.
Thanks RippySkippy, I was planning on doing three at a time, you just read my mind, lol. I only will have another person helping me, so I don't want the cabinets to rip apart, they cost too much to begin with. Yes I will definately take of doors. I also picked up a bundle of the cedar shingles a week ago, when I had to install 6 doors, they are Much better then those little crapy shingles they sell at Home Cheapo!!! I wanted to take this time to Thank You, and everyone that has contribute there two cents to this post. All of you guys that work hard during the day, and then come home and take time to read peoples post and answer them will definately be Blessed in the long run. Thanks again:thumbsup:

This week i purchased a yamaha vx r665 receiver and i'm going to install two in wall speakers in the living room and also run two wires for two exterior (zone 2) speakers for when i finish the deck later this spring.
I will enventually do a full surround system but for now just want some music throughout the house to listen to while i work on some projects.
The in wall speakers are boston acoustic 6.5"
I'll also be hooking up the apple airport express to wirelessly stream my itunes music to the receiver. I have an iphone however also ordered a itouch to use as a controller for my itunes. (basically i will be able to see all my music and change songs and volume from anywhere in the house or outside using the iouch or iphone.
Hopefully it will make for some good times outside later this summer!
And away we go.
pictures in project showcase.

This is a very hard one to write, even though it has been nearly a year since a terrible thing happened. When I was in California visiting my sister, the man I once trusted and had married did a terrible thing. He took nine of my beloved babies and just dumped them. Sadly, this beloved furkid was among those taken. I was only able to find one of them - Meio. I hope and pray that they found homes, but I may never know for sure. Not knowing has been so hard. It has been difficult even returning to catster, as seeing their lovely faces still pains me greatly. I've always had many cats and they were well taken care of. If you pray, please do so for my missing babies.
Since this is such a painful thing to write, I am copying this to the diaries of all my missing babies: Bear, D.C., Dart, Holly, Kimba, Kizzy, Kozmo and Princessa.
I must be desperate or something. Normally, kitties aren't supposed to cooperate with menial tasks deemed beneath us according to the kitteh law book, but I have done just that.
All I wanted was my kibble. Is that too much to ask? Did I get my kibble?? Well... yes.... but... but... But I had to eat each individual piece of of a different poker chip. Now that's just totally weird and I would much preferred to have had a great big mouthful so I could scarf it down.
I can handle individual kibbles, but what was the deal with the poker chips? Apparently I did a lottery drawing for some zealies. I think Meowmy has really lost it this time. She even posted the video for all of my furiends to see.
Well... it did make her happy.
Meowmy must think I'm a kitten. I am.. at heart, anyway. The reason I bring this up is because she has been giving me some kitten food. I like it more than what the other kitties get. Meowmy does share with the others, but they only get a little of the kitten stuff. I get to eat as much of it as I want. I think this has something to do with me being skinny. If she wants me to gain weight, why reward me for being skinny by giving me kitten food only when I'm skinny? Humans make no sense.

Not to be rude, but every post that I have read by you Elizabeth has been confusing. And so far this one takes the cake. First you brought up a good argument about the difference between a circle and slotted intake port. I have seen slotted intake ports on ram air of the new Cobra. But then you got lost in the woods talking about hot air and sound? We're catching cold air rushing at the front of the car, where is the hot air coming from? And if your argument is all performance minded, then who cares about sound? Start with a well designed intake first, sound is just a benefit.
Yes, the intent is 'to catch cold air rushing at the front of the car' but the reality may be very different. Wanting and wishing is not doing. that airflow may even be negative for all you know at the exact point this modified intake is located.
I just wanted to mention that very real possibility.
Just becuse you think it is in the front so the air will be pushed in, is not true.
It MIGHT be true, but you have zero way of knowing if so or not. Theair off the front end past the angled front may just as well be negative air pressure over the opening at speed.

It's time to put to bed an upsetting rumor, if only temporarily, that middle school sports in Levy County Schools will be cancelled next year as part of the school budget restrictions. Not yet, anyway.
"No, that's definitely a rumor; it's not true," said Levy County Superintendent of Schools Bob Hastings.
"But the fact is, we are evaluating ways to save the district money, and everything is on the table."

According to a second report published today, this particular flaw can actually allow a malicious app to "breakout" of a secure sandbox and take control of some Android functions. The report added that the flaw could cause certain apps to take over the camera, microphone, GPS location and personal data. The flaw was reportedly introduced to Linux kernel 3.8 in early 2013.
Google responded this afternoon by saying that its own researchers do not believe that Android devices are vulnerable to exploits by third party apps. The company added that the number of Android devices that are at risk is "significantly smaller than initially reported." Despite Google's unworried response to the initial report, it still plans to issue a patch in March.

Conversion is a Journey, NOT a Moment (well, at least for some) [The Example of Lauren Winner]
February 21, 2011 by 19 Comments
Lauren Winner, in her wonderful memoir, Girl Meets God, offers a wonderful perspective on what it means to convert to Christianity. She is a former Orthodox Jew who embraced Jesus as Messiah in her young adult years. In our conversionist evangelical culture, we often desire to have a single moment in time when we turned [Read More…]
