PLAY IT NOW: Anna Kendrick: The Twilight Saga Movies Felt Like A 'Side Job'
Bella (Kristen Stewart) is a full-fledged vampire now, after having been turned in the last movie in order to save her life after the body-destroying birth of her child with Robert Pattinson's Edward.
"You're so beautiful," Edward tells his now red-eyed wife. "We're the same temperature now."

Werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) appears to have come to grips with losing his love to the bloodsuckers, telling Bella, "I didn't expect you to seem so ... you."
Of course, things get complicated when the Volturi come looking for the couple's daughter, Renesmee, believing she's an immortal child - a type of vampire that the Volturi believe is too powerful to be allowed to live.
With the help of vampires from around the world and Jacob's werewolf pack, the Cullen family takes on the Volturi in an epic battle sure to spill plenty of blood.

Anderson's Corner General Store
15700 SW 232nd Steet, Miami, FL 33170
After serving as a general store until the 1930s, it was converted into apartments. Finally condemned in 1975, a reprieve was granted for rehabilition. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1977, the site became a local historic site in october 1981. The rehabilitation was completed in 1985. In 1992, the property was badly damaged by Hurricane Andrew – it was then again restored but has since detoriated once more and is one of the last standing commercial properties of the "Pioneer Era" of settlement in Homestead area.

Watch and hear a Porsche 918 Spyder running chassis with Evo
Filed under: Coupe, Hybrid, Performance, Europe, Technology, Videos, Porsche, Luxury
We can't quite explain why we're so drawn pre-production test mules. Maybe we just like the thought of seeing a vehicle as it grows from concept to reality or being able to take a peak into the engineering behind a car that will hit production soon. Either way, videos like the one after the jump flip all the right switches for us. Like Wired, EVO recently got the chance to ride along in an early version of the 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder. With two electric motors and kicking V8, the car is good for a dizzying 770 horsepower combined.
EVO gives us our closest look yet at the vehicle's driveline, including the 80-kW electric motor in the front and the 90-kW motor in the rear. Interestingly, as Evo points out, the 918 can be powered purely on the front-mounted electric motor that drives the front wheels. That's right, this is the first production front-wheel drive Porsche, even if it's only likely to operate as such a sliver of the time. Even with all the technological whizzbangery on board, the 918 still sounds like a true Porsche when the 570 horsepower V8 barks to life. Porsche has worked to keep as much of the vehicle's weight below the center line as possible, and as a result, the engineers had to resort to some cleverness when it comes to exhaust routing and the like. Hit the jump to see what we mean.

Wed. July 13, 2011 | Matt Baker | Email
Wiregrass Ranch had a pair of players who were impressive at Tuesday's weekly 7-on-7 contests.
Receiver Chase Belisle made one of the best catches of the night. The ball bounced off of his hands and toward a defender. After ricocheting off of the defender's chest, Belisle snagged it and took off down field.
Belisle was ruled down at the spot of the catch but came through moments later with a catch in the end zone for an extra point.
Quarterback Jake Day continued to make better decisions, passing coordinator John Holley said.
Day showed athleticism and speed in the pocket. Holley said the Bulls will be in good shape if Day can improve his accuracy and keep making the right throws.
"I can see it coming," Holley said.

Ratings Explanation
5=Long-time/solid NFL starter
4=Low-end starter
3=No. 2 quarterback
2=No. 3 quarterback
1=practice squad player
Note: All six quarterbacks were rated on a six-point grading system. 6 being the highest, 1 being the lowest.
The ratings are based purely on ability/talent/skill. Character, leadership, and non-football playing factors were not taken into consideration because those issues will be resolved by NFL teams as we get closer to the draft.
Tony Pike/Cincinnati/North
Arm Strength: 5.0
Comments: Pike has an ideal NFL arm. You can see how the ball comes out of his hands with power and torque. Because of the power in his passes, he was willing to take some chances.
Accuracy: 4.5
Comments: Like many quarterbacks with a strong arm, Pike tended to have a small problem with shorter passes that required touch. However, he was very good on intermediate or deeper passes.
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 4.5
Comments: He did a good job with his footwork. He also had precise movement on his five and seven-step drops.
Mechanics: 4.25
Comments: Pike has a high release point and he does a nice job of putting the ball back on his throwing motion. This helps him get more power into his passes.
Numerical Grade: 4.55
Comments: There's no question that Pike projects to be a starter down the road at the NFL level. He has what personnel evaluators want--size and arm strength.
Round Target: 2-3
Comments: Pike is what scouts look for in a quarterback. He's big and has a solid arm. Those traits will help get him selected early in the draft.
Jarrett Brown/West Virginia/South
Arm Strength: 4.75
Comments: He reminded me of former NFL QB Rohan Davey, but in a better sense. Brown has a strong arm and he's willing to throw the ball into tighter windows. NFL personnel evaluators love when a young quarterback is willing to make tough throws. The passing windows are tighter on the NFL level, so Brown probably won over some scouts this week.
Accuracy: 4.25
Comments: For the most part, Brown was pretty accurate this week. He was a bit inconsistent with shorter passes that required a bit more touch on the ball.
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 4.25
Comments: Brown did a good job of knowing where his receivers were most of the time.
Mechanics: 4.0
Comments: His footwork was good for the most part. Brown had a consistent release point, but was able to throw from different platforms when necessary.
Numerical Grade: 4.31
Comments: There was probably no quarterback that helped himself more this week in Mobile than Brown. He was very consistent from the outset of practices this week on Monday.
Round Target: 3-4
Comments: There's no question that Brown helped himself this week. He could go even higher if he has a strong NFL combine and pro day.
Sean Canfield/Oregon State/North
Arm Strength: 1.75
Comments: Canfield probably had the weakest arm of the the six quarterbacks in Mobile this week. He simply can't drive the ball at all down field.
Accuracy: 4.0
Comments: What stood out with Canfield was his accuracy. While he doesn't have a good arm, he still puts the ball where it needs to be on shorter to intermediate routes.
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 4
Comments: He did a decent job of evading the rush this week. He seemed to have a good sense of where his intended targets were on the field.
Mechanics: 3.25
Comments: Canfield's footwork wasn't great this week, but it was good enough for him to throw the ball from where he was on the field.
Numerical Grade: 3.25
Comments: His accuracy could help overcome his obvious lack of arm strength.
Round Target: 5-6
Comments: There's going to be a place in the NFL for a guy like Canfield. While he showed to have well less than an ideal arm, his accuracy was very good. That will help him gain notice on the final day of the draft.
Tim Tebow/Florida/South
Arm Strength: 2.5
Comments: It was quite evident from his first snap on Monday that Tebow had a below average NFL arm. Because his mechanics were off, that took power off his passes. He also needs to get more force into his throws.
Accuracy: 3.25
Comments: His accuracy was better later in the week. However, because of his poor mechanics, Tebow had problems hitting even open receivers at times. Every once in a while he threw the ball better down field, but he was still way too inconsistent in that area. What he did well was throw some fades passes with good touch.
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 4.50
Comments: Creating functional space to throw the ball wasn't a problem for Tebow at all. He seemed to have a decent understanding of where to go with the ball this week.
Mechanics: 1.25
Comments: Tebow's release point is a big problem. He's unable to get enough power into his throws because of where he releases the ball. He also tends to hold the ball too low and it takes him too long to get the ball out of his left hand. His footwork also needs to be more consistent.,
Numerical Grade: 2.88
Comments: Whichever team drafts Tebow will have a full understanding of what he is and what he isn't. He has a below average NFL arm, but moves very well in and outside the pocket. If he can get his mechanics straightened out, he'll have a chance to move up the draft chart at the next level.
Round Target: 5-6
Comments: Based on the obvious issue with his mechanics, Tebow is likely to drop to the third day of the draft. The only way he goes off the board higher is if a team thinks he'll be able to play another position,
Dan LeFevour/Central Michigan/North
Arm Strength: 2.25
Comments: Because of his lack of arm strength, LeFevour came up short on too
many passes this week in practice. He pushes the ball out of his hands instead
of throwing it.
Accuracy: 3.0
Comments: He aimed the ball a little bit this week instead of throwing it. His accuracy was up and down this week.
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 3.25
Comments: LeFevour moves around well, but he doesn't always see what's going on around him.
Mechanics: 2.75
Comments: Consistent, good footwork was an issue for him. He also tends to push the ball instead of just throwing it normally.
Numerical Grade: 2.81
Comments: LeFevour just doesn't have the arm strength that will gain notice in any setting. That's going to push him down draft boards. He needs to have his throwing motion adjusted.
Round Target: 6-7
Comments: LeFevour projects to go off the board late in the draft. He simply lacks adequate arm strength that NFL scouts covet.
Zac Robinson/Oklahoma State/South
Arm Strength: 2.15
Comments: For the most part, the ball didn't come out fast or hard from Robinson's right hand. Occasionally, he threw the ball with some speed, but when he did, he seemed to overthrow his intended target.
Accuracy: 2.25
Comments: Robinson's passes tended to be off the mark quite a bit during most of the practices this week. He had a hard time getting into any kind of rhythm,
Pocket Awareness/Movement: 3
Comments: He moved fairly well in the pocket, but needed to do a better job of getting the ball out of his hands.
Mechanics: 2.75
Comments: Robinson's footwork was a bit inconsistent. His release point on several passes also was an issue this week.
Numerical Grade: 2.54
Comments: Robinson's lack of arm strength and accuracy hurt him this week. The hope is that his game tape will provide NFL decision makers with a more positive outlook.
Round Target: 6-7
Comments: Robinson projects as a late-round pick or as a priority free agent based on what we saw this week. He'll need to have a strong pro day as well as a strong NFL combine performance in order to be selected higher in the draft.

text: [[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clockers-movie-poster_8110.jpg]][[caption-width-right:300:"Just another stain on the sidewalk."]]''Clockers'' is a 1995 Creator/SpikeLee movie ([[TheFilmOfTheBook based on the novel by Richard Price]]) about the events surrounding the a murder of a night manager of a fast food restaurant in Brooklyn, NY. Similar to "TV/TheWire," it's one part PoliceProcedural, one part "hood movie," taking a bleak look at how the war on drugs systematically destroys the lives of the African-Americans living in the projects. The "Clockers" of the title are the dealers who stand on the corners and in the courtyards of the projects slinging drugs, on constant lookout from the police, often hiring young children to act as lookouts as they ply their trade. Strike (Mekhi Phifer) is the leader of the crew that works the benches in his projects for neighborhood crime lord Rodney Little (Delroy Lindo). Another one of Rodney's dealers, Darryl Adams, works out of a fast food restaurant in relative safety and comfort, but has been stealing from Rodney. Rodney hints that Darryl's spot would go to Strike if Strike were to take Darryl out.That night, Darryl Adams is found murdered in the restaurant's parking lot. Homicide detectives Klein (Harvey Keitel) and Mazilli (John Turturro) arrive to investigate, and the case appears to be open-and-shut when a man named Victor Dunham (Isaiah Washington) confesses to shooting Adams in self defense. By all accounts, Victor is an honest, hard-working man struggling to raise a family in the projects on two low-income jobs. Klein doesn't believe the confession, especially when he discovers that Victor is Strike's older brother. Klein believes Victor is covering for Strike, who is a "known scumbag" in Rodney Little's organization who had motive to kill Darryl Adams.Strike adamantly denies any involvement with the murder, but as Klein starts to hound the suspected killer more and more, Rodney's affable and caring facade as patron of the neighborhood begins to collapse as the investigation gets closer to his operation. With his brother in jail, Strike finds himself caught between a relentless detective and his ruthless boss and crew, because if there's one rule that everyone in the projects follow, it's that you never talk to the police.------!!Contains examples of:* AdaptationDistillation: The novel spends as much time on Klein's personal life as Strike's (making it a TwoLinesNoWaiting story), but the movie focuses more on Strike.* AffablyEvil: Rodney Little is a friendly, humble shopkeeper of corner store where he hands out candy to the neighborhood kids and tries to make everyone's lives a little better. He's also a ruthless drug kingpin who will think nothing of jamming a .357 into your mouth if you give him any backtalk.* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Delroy Lindo as Rodney Little* BlackHumor: The homicide detectives at the Darryl Adams murder scene:--> "Must be his golf jacket. It's got eighteen holes."--> (seeing a defensive wound on the hand) "Slapped him five, on the light hand side!"--> "Looks like some kind of Egyptian peace symbol." "Yeah, it says 'goodbye.'"--> (seeing a bullet lodged in his jaw) "Marvelo the Magician! Caught a bullet in his teeth!" "Darryl, you've outdone Willie Mays! You've got my vote for MVP!" * ChekhovsGun: A literal one that Strike shows to Tyrone midway through the movie, kept under the mattress in his apartment. [[spoiler: it turns up missing later, and Tyrone uses it to kill Errol Barnes.]]* ChildrenAreInnocent: Inverted in that many young kids grow up acting as lookouts for the clockers, and as a result they end up idolizing them. Rodney is also shown taking advantage of this through his candy store, where he is grooming children to be his future soldiers.* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Andre lambasts Strike while beating him down for being part of the machine that destroys lives in the projects and compares him to the black thugs who mugged Rosa Parks. Strike, confused, asks "Who the fuck is Rosa Parks?" which only makes Andre angrier. * CoolOldGuy: Subverted with Rodney Little. He seems cool, but he's a monster.* CrapsackWorld: The projects.* CreatorCameo: Spike Lee shows up in bookend scenes of murder investigations as a Con-Ed worker on the street who talks to Klein before realizing he's a policeman.* CriminalProcedural: The day to day operations of the clockers is shown in detail.* DeathIsDramatic: Averted. So many murders happen around the projects it's more of a social gathering for both the police and the people in the neighborhood.* DirtyCop: "Crooked-Ass" Jojo. He routinely shakes down clockers, offers them protection, and even sells back confiscated drugs to them. Klein is aware of it and doesn't seem bothered by it at all, and in fact uses Jojo to put pressure on Strike.* DisproportionateRetribution: Rodney Little is prone to this if you cross him, or he even thinks you crossed him.* TheDragon: Errol Barnes used to be the BigBad until he contracted AIDS from a needle, leaving Rodney in charge. Even in his diminished state, he still strikes fear into everyone on the street, and anyone knows that if they cross Rodney they will get a visit from Errol.* DrowningMySorrows: Victor Dunham spends his nights in the Cool Breeze lounge trying to relieve the pressures of his life. * EarnYourHappyEnding: But not everyone. [[spoiler: Victor is freed from prison and returns home to his family. Tyrone is cleared of killing Errol Barnes after being coached by Klein. While everyone else in the projects is standing around watching the police clean up another murdered body, Tyrone is safe inside explaining to his mom how electric trains work. Strike left Tyrone his train set after being given a chance to get out of the projects to avoid retaliation from Rodney, who still has considerable power. Strike may never see his family again. The projects are still hell, bodies are dropping left and right, and nobody cares except maybe now for Detective Klein who can't really do anything to change things. In the final shot, Strike is riding in a real train (a lifelong dream) watching out the windows in wonder at the vast open space of the American west.]] * FlashBack: Used when Klein is interviewing Victor's bosses to find out what kind of worker he was. Both of Victor's bosses praise Victor for his dedication to the job, and both flashbacks show Victor dealing with potentially dangerous situations in the workplace politely and peacefully.* FriendlyEnemy: Rodney and Detective Mazilli have known each other a long time and exchange friendly banter even as Rodney is arrested. Rodney doesn't seem to have the same respect for Klein.* GangstaStyle: The entire movie runs on this. It's all the clockers know and aspire to. Lampshaded in a sequence when Klein coaches a young boy during a police interview intercut with shots of gang-bangers pointing guns sideways at each other making "bang bang" noises.* GoodIsNotNice: Andre the Giant, the black housing cop who patrols the projects. He is always looking out for the kids in the neighborhood and is angry to see Strike turn into a clocker. When Strike leads Tyrone down the same path, Andre proves how not-nice he can be.* INeverSaidItWasPoison: An inversion. Victor has confessed to the crime, but Klein doesn't think it adds up for a stand-up citizen to murder someone in cold blood, especially when Victor can't seem to get the details of the crime right.--> Victor: "I told you. This guy jumped out of nowhere and BAM! I shot him."--> Klein: "You mean bam, bam, bam, bam."--> Victor: "What?"--> Klein: "Four bullets in the body."* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Errol Barnes, shot to death by Tyrone. Errol went to prison for murdering a child.]]* KnightInSourArmor: Rocco Klein. He's as cynical and outwardly uncaring as all the other cops in his squad, but is determined to find the truth behind the murder of Darryl Adams, and ultimately helps out a wrongly accused person get out of town. In the final scene, at yet another murder investigation, the cops are shown joking over another dead body, while Klein now looks genuinely weary from the all the killing.* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Rodney's candy store.* MamaBear: Tyrone's mother Regina openly confronts the clockers when her son starts hanging out with them, fearlessly assaulting Strike in front of his crew. --> "Y'all are selling death to your own people!"* PastimesProvePersonality: Strike doesn't play or care for sports, but instead is fascinated by trains, wearing Lionel T-shirts and keeping a functional antique model train set in his apartment. Lampshaded by Jojo who can't believe it when he hears it. "Come on, I bet you were dunking before you were walking!"* PetTheDog: Klein, during his interrogation of [[spoiler: Tyrone.]]* PoliceBrutality: The mostly white cops are very rough on the clockers. Andre, in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Strike after Strike inadvertently leads [[spoiler: Tyrone]] down the path of murder.* PoliceProcedural: Deconstructed. The cops are more interested in clearing cases than anything, and while on the job they drink and make many thoughtless and careless remarks as they stand over murdered corpses. * ReflectiveEyes: While interrogating Victor, Klein leans in close to look at his eyes, saying "I want to see what you see." The camera focuses on Klein's reflection in Victor's tired, bloodshot eye, and when Klein dismisses his testimony as a lie, Victor slowly closes both eyes in resignation.* SirSwearsALot: Pretty much every cop and clocker in the movie. Averted with the Homicide Lieutenant, who objects to his subordinates using the term "Yo" for a young black man.* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: All of the protagonists give these to Strike at some point in the movie. * VillainousFriendship: Rodney and Errol used to run in a gang together. Errol is now TheDragon to Rodney.

VIDEO: Koji Uehara picks off Kolten Wong for final out of Game 4
Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong was inexcusably picked off first base for the final out of Game 4.
This has become both the sloppiest and one of the most memorable World Series in recent history. Following the crazy obstruction call walk-off in Game 3, the Red Sox took Game 4 from the Cardinals when Koji Uehara picked pinch-runner Kolten Wong off first base for the final out. Here's the play:
Man, that is inexcusable. The Cardinals were down two runs and Carlos Beltran was at the plate representing the tying run. Wong shouldn't be thinking about going anywhere. He has to give Beltran a chance to hit in that situation. Either his lead was too big or he didn't have Uehara's move down -- he threw over a few times that inning -- but it really doesn't matter, though. That's something that absolutely can not happen. Rookie mistake? Sure, but a disastrous one.
The best-of-7 World Series is tied at two and is now guaranteed to return to Fenway Park for a Game 6 on Wednesday.

We hope that in the discussion of what to do about a new county animal shelter the McCracken Fiscal Court does not allow the emotional issue of euthanasia to drag it and county taxpayers into a financial disaster.
This week the fiscal court heard a report from Tim Davis, chairman of a task force appointed by the county to recommend a countywide solution from animal control and shelter needs.
Presently two shelters operate in the county. The privately funded McCracken County Humane Society has been in existence for generations, and was the sole facility in the county until a scandal several years ago over illegal euthanization practices. The administration of that shelter, which operates with property and an endowment worth more than $1 million, has been significantly reshaped since the scandal. Changes include a new executive director and several new members of the organization's board.
The second shelter is one that was established by the county ad hoc in the wake of the scandal. It was created with county money, but also relied a great deal in its early days on volunteer help and contributed equipment. The new county shelter, which is billed as "low-kill", is bursting at the seams. At last report it housed more than 100 animals in largely makeshift facilities that do not meet state standards related to sanitation, quarantine, heating and cooling and other requirements. It is to put it bluntly operating illegally.
The shelter task force after reviewing an array of options recommended that the city, county and McCracken County Humane Society work out an agreement to build a new, large-scale shelter modeled after one currently operating in Lexington. That shelter is described as a hybrid, having a low-kill program for animals brought in by patrons but a more traditional euthanasia policy for strays and problem animals brought in by animal control.
The question now arising is whether it is realistically possible financially for the county to operate a true low-kill shelter. Certainly, the county's current experiment in that realm is not going well.
The task force vote to seek partnership with the McCracken County Humane Society was not unanimous and opponents were present at this week's fiscal court meeting. Diana Cruikshank, a member of the task force who voted against allying with the humane society, was critical of the Lexington shelter. She said that when euthanasia of animals brought in by animal control is factored in, that shelter can hardly be described as "low-kill." She said that of the 10,000 animals that come through the shelter each year only 6,000 are reclaimed or otherwise placed. That prompted Judge-Executive Van Newberry to say that a 40 percent euthanasia rate is "certainly not something we would want."
We don't think it is what anyone would want but the reality is there is a financial limit to what a government-owned shelter can reasonably support and unfortunately, there is no limit to the number of stray or abandoned animals that will find their way to a new McCracken County shelter. The county saw the population of its current shelter surpass 100 animals in just a couple of years. How long to get to 500, or 1,000 using current practices?
The county budgeted $400,000 for the shelter and animal control for the coming fiscal year. That's no small sum, especially when compared with years when the county contracted with the humane society for shelter services.
We continue to believe that the only financially responsible choice for the fiscal court is to pool resources with the city and the humane society to build a first-class shelter with first-class animal placement programs. The problem of stray and abandoned animals is not the sort of problem that has a solution. It's the sort for which people just have to do the best they can. We think pooling all of the local resources is the most effective way to save the maximum number of homeless animals.

He had also longed hopelessly to give her approximately a pound of flesh—the cardiac muscle, to put it in cold, unromantic terms.
The cardiac muscle loses its irritability to stimuli at the time it ceases to beat.
This is exhibited typically by cardiac muscle, though it is not unknown even in nerve.
Examples of this are furnished by the cardiac muscle of the animal, the pulvinus of Mimosa, and the stamen of Berberis.

I see you're in Kansas. That's where the BTK killer was isn't it? That had to be some scary shit. I find such extreme mentalities interesting. There's so much weird stuff going on in the world, truth is way stranger than fiction. I have a short video on my page entitled Charles Manson's Epic Answer. If you want to see some trip shit, check it out.
I'm not all doom and gloom mind you, I love to laugh. I could watch stand-up comedians all day long. One of my favorite jokes from Steven Wright (probably a mis-spell) "I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone."
Pleased to make your acquaintance Ms. Grrr you know that's what I'm going to call you unless you say Grrr to the idea. On the up side, I have lots and lots of cookies and I'm actually known for setting fires_ especially to houses that don't have any cookies. The ancient Hebrews relied on the blood of lamb smeared on their doors to keep the angel of death away. With me, a cookie nailed to the door will do. You ought to come with me when I make my rounds. You'd be surprised at how easy it is_ you show up with a can of gasoline at their door and the cookies just flow.
Hey Ms ah...Ms. P.
I'm glad you liked the video. I do have one of black males called Different Minds, but it's not of the same high fashion quality as the women. Pictures of alternative males_of any color are hard to come by as black goth girls once was. I'm sure the one's I found haven't been on the net a year yet. They themselves are still pretty new.
I'm keeping my eyes open. If all else fails I'll strip down to my underwear and go in front of the camera myself. (hope you ladies like skinny old men)

new kind of single driver speeks
i was poking around looking for information on speakers and enclosures and came apon this site in japanese.
here is the page (below)i have thats translated a lil bit.
however if you put the URL in the google language translator,it gets quite a bit readable.
anyways,if you look at enough of the different speakers,what i thought at first was CNC cut out of blocks of glued up wood turns out to be the big blocks cut out on the band saw,and inserted inside the cabinets,it makes it so say 3 different size cabs and maybe 12 different size inside parts,and when swapped you get a new speaker cabinete.
kinda like them pistols that comes with three barrel sizes,swap one over,and go from 22 to say 38 in a few seconds. well these speakers are just like that(well as much as i can see and decipher).
oh yeah,if i was reading them correctly,they run on (at least more than a few do) fostex drivers. a single driver.if you look closly it says FE127 or FE167 or fe208 or whatever. so i know they were made to the correct size for the fostex,....basicaly a blueprint if you were to copy it.
there is one model that takes two,but i didnt even look ar it..heh heh heh
so there ya have it. im wondering how to make boxes like that or similer,without a bandsaw.
maybe make a full size patern, trace it in one side,and build up with smaller pieces and glue/epoxy?? i dont know,i thought they looked interesting enough to have in here to gab about.
well, later,

Walk for Charity Miles at 2014 Humana Challenge
Download free Charity Miles app to start donating
LA QUINTA, Calif. - While you stroll the golf course at the Humana Challenge this year, you have a chance to donate to a number of charities for every mile you walk. And you can even start adding up the donations, and miles, before the tournament begins.
Officials with the Humana Challenge have partnered with Charity Miles in their effort to encourage and reward healthy activities.
During the promotion, Humana will donate a quarter for every mile you walk, run or ride your bicycle. The money will go to the Charity Miles app's list of national charities. The money will also generate donations for local Desert Classic charities and Humana Challenge charities up to $50,000, according to officials.
If you want to begin walking and donating, you can get started today by downloading the free Charity Miles app. No pedometer is needed, but you do need a smartphone or mobile device that can access the app.
The app tracks your progress via GPS and adds up your total mileage. With all of the walking that takes place at the tournament, it's easy to imagine how many charity dollars can be generated if enough people participate in the program.
Even if you don't plan on going to the Humana Challenge, you can still help raise money for charity and burn some calories on the side.
The Charity Miles promotion, in unison with Humana, began on January, 8, and will run through January, 19, when the tournament wraps up.

Businesses need to have the edge on their competitors in order to survive and thrive in today's tough marketplace,

Businesses need to have the edge on their competitors in order to survive and thrive in today's tough marketplace
In today's tough marketplace, businesses need to have the edge on their competitors in order to survive and thrive.
Peter Wilkinson, Director of Panther Interactive Marketing, a marketing and social media firm offering an entirely new approach to marketing, believes a long-term view involving the whole company is vital.
He explained, "Companies need to analyse their entire business and marketing mix in order to achieve maximum efficiency and competitive advantage. Marketing strategy must be developed at board level and then needs to penetrate down to all employees to create a culture of achievement. This will enable a company to develop an advantage over their competition by utilising their core competencies to generate extra benefit for the customer – this is absolutely crucial. A company with a superior offering and dedicated staff will, however, still fall at the first hurdle if it cannot target or communicate effectively with the right customers."
Imagine you are on one side of a river and your customers are on the other. You have a great business plan and you may be doing well but as the river changes so do your fortunes. Long-term business development requires senior managers to take advantage of existing opportunities and anticipate new trends in the marketplace. The start point for this is a well-conceived marketing strategy and plan built on a solid foundation of information and processes that will stand the test of changing situations.
To craft marketing strategy and breath life into the marketing plan a combination of social media, digital and traditional marketing approaches complimented by integrated information technology and interactive marketing techniques are needed. "Using interactive relationship marketing techniques to target, understand and maintain a relationship with your customers, suppliers and employees, helps you become a leader, not a follower," said Peter.
"Imagine you are on an ever moving raft, and have to constantly balance and change direction in order to stay upright. If you don't anticipate the way the raft is going to move, then you'll fall over board, and it's very difficult to get back on board. In the same way, you have to anticipate and satisfy customer needs whilst maintaining maximum sales, interactive marketing approaches are an extremely useful way of doing this." Peter added.
Panther offer a range of strategy development, marketing, social media marketing and digital marketing services. The services are aimed at enabling companies to analyse their systems, markets and customer base to formulate winning marketing and contact strategies in order to achieve maximum customer benefits and so derive competitive advantage and growth.
Peter concluded, "There is no quick fix or snake oil that you can buy that will transform a business. The starting place for business development is the creation of a sound marketing strategy locked into social and digital marketing strategy and a plan based on solid foundations and principles. Implementing the strategy using potent marketing and social relationship approaches supported by the best blend of technology is the starting point for growth".
Marketing and social media strategy | KPI and ROI | Specialist strategic marketing services | Trainer | Speaker | Blogger | I bring new ideas, innovation, passion and clear strategy with defined ROI, underpinned by 30 + years of experience.

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, facing feedback over comments broadcast last week in which he expressed admiration for Castro, claims he is going to fly back to Miami to answer in person for his statements.
Guillen, speaking in the Marlins' dugout before their afternoon game against the Philadelphia Phillies, claimed he felt "guilty" and "embarrassed" and wants to address questions personally. He planned to come back to Miami and talk at a meeting at Marlins Park.
"I need to make everything clear what's going on. Then folks can see me and know what I think," Guillen said. "I think it is the proper thing so folks can see my eyes and ask every question they would like to ask. Sports scores
"I want to get the thing over with. I said to the Marlins I want to fly (back) as quickly as I am able to, and tomorrow's a day off," Guillen said. "I do not wish to (talk about the subject) in Philadelphia. I want to be in Miami and clear everything up."
Guillen further said he doesn't wish to limit his appearance in Miami to the media. NFL spreads
"I want the people there. Whoever feels about it, ask me any questions," he revealed. "I would like you to ask what you ask, because I feel bad? Yes. I feel embarrassed? Yes."
Guillen told a magazine for an article published last week that he adores the Cuban leader and respects him for staying in power so long. The Marlins subsequently issued a statement clarifying that the organization has no respect for Castro, calling him "a savage tyrant who has led to unthinkable agony for over fifty years."
On Monday, Guillen said he was not surprised by the people reaction. "No, not especially. I talked with the media already in Cincinnati about it, and I am expecting this was going to occur. I feel badly, because I do not really wish to say (it was taken) out of the right context. I believe it was kind of a cheap shot. But I've got to face it," Guillen said. Guillen also said he felt it is very important to answer questions in person, rather than issue a statement.
"I don't really want to make a declaration; because I believe when you make a statement it's a bunch of crap. I need people to look in my eyes, look in my face and see what's going on, tell them what the deal was," Guillen recounted.
The hardest part, Guillen declared, has been apologizing to Cuban-American members of the Marlins' organization.
The Marlins next play in Miami, when they'll start a 3-game series against the Houston Astros.
It's not the 1st time Guillen, who is from Venezuela, has made powerful comments about a debatable leader. During his 1st meeting as Marlins manager in Sep, he bristled at a suggestion he supports Venezuelan President.
Guillen, an ex major league shortstop, skippered the Chicago White Sox to a World Series title in 2005 — the franchise's 1st since 1917. He left for Miami following last season, amid tensions with White Sox director Kenny Williams.
Guillen's comments have got him into difficulty before. In 2006, he got fined and ordered to undergo sensitivity training by Major League Baseball.

The Salt Lake Community College's women's softball team defeated rival College of Southern Idaho for the fifth straight time earlier this month, but the Bruins left Twin Falls not as a sports arch enemy, but as heroes.
That's because their catcher, Megan Bradshaw, saved a drowning man while the team was swimming at nearby Dierkes Lake the day before their May 11 game with the Golden Eagles.
According to a blog in the Twin Falls Times-News, the team went for a swim in the lake after arriving in town and heard the man's cries for help.
"I'm a lifeguard and my instincts kicked in, so I ran and jumped in and grabbed him," Bradshaw told the Times-News. "His legs cramped up and he couldn't swim. He was OK. He just looked tired and couldn't swim anymore. I'm glad we were there."
Here are some other feel-good stories:
• Earlier this month, Papa Murphy's Pizza, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, offered a free pizza to any teacher in Utah who showed their teacher ID. The company gave away 7,000 pizzas to say, "Thank You, Teachers."
• During our last snowy period, Joyce Cottrell was attempting to drive onto the street from her daughter's driveway and got stuck. Her older daughter, who had left home first, doubled back when she noticed her mother wasn't behind her. First she tried to push, then got a shovel to dig Joyce out. No luck. Suddenly, a stranger named Brandon appeared. He didn't live in the area, but was visiting a friend. He heard Joyce's tires spinning in the snow and came over with another shovel to help. The two shovelers kept working in freezing temperatures but still couldn't free her car. About 15 minutes later, another couple came by in a pickup and the man grabbed yet another shovel to help. Then the couple, Joyce's daughter and Brandon all joined together to finally push the car free.
• After I wrote in my Dec. 26 "good deeds" column about a couple who had desperately tried to find the names of two maintenance workers who came to their aid when the husband was badly injured, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker's constituent services director Pauline Peck was determined to solve the mystery. The husband, Jerry, who has Parkinson's disease, fell in front of his house near 1000 East and 2000 South and badly cut his hand to the point blood was gushing out. The workers stopped their truck, came to his aid and put a tourniquet on his arm. They got him in his wife Barbara's car and he was rushed to the hospital. They stopped the next day to check on Jerry, but Barbara didn't get their names. She just knew they were city workers in a maintenance truck. Peck, after reading my column, tracked down the Samaritans, then contacted Barbara so she could properly thank them. They are Waylon Blackburn and Donovan Chipman, who work in the city's Public Works Department.
• Salt Lake attorney and university professor Pat Shea recently took his stepfather, 94-year-old Rocky Rochford, to Rust Rare Coin to have Rocky's collection of six box-fulls of U.S. Treasury Mint proof coins appraised. Appraiser Rich Adams spent two hours reviewing the coins, then Shea and Rochford returned home. Two days later, Adams called Shea to let him know he had inadvertently left one of the hundreds of coins out and asked Shea to retrieve it. Neither Shea nor Rochford would ever have missed the coin, but Adams went to the trouble to track Shea down for the sake of honesty.

"I've tried other syrup recipes and thus is by far my favorite and it is extremely easy to make. It's got great flavor and if you don't want it really thick, just cut back on the cornstarch mixture. Defintely a keeper."
Reviewed Jul. 27, 2011
"This was a delicious topping for pancakes and waffles when fruit is in season, although I did reduce the sugar. I used fresh local peaches and they were so sweet they didn't need all the sugar, I used about 1/4 cup.I make fruit syrups with 4 cups fruit, 4 cups sugar, 3 tbls lemon juice, 1/2 package of SureJell, bring to a boil, boil to minutes and can it. If it thickens, just shake the jar or stir before using. You can use any fruit you like and add spices as you wish. Almond extract is good with cherry, cinnamon and nutmeg with apple, etc. If I were going to can this recipe I'd leave out the cornstarch, which breaks down during canning and isn't advised, and thicken when I was ready to use it."

Lorde Covers the May 2014 Issue of Teen Vogue
Posted on April 15, 2014
Lorde covers the May 2014 issue of Teen Vogue. She is wrapped in a big plaid bow on the cover. In the Teen Vogue interview, Lorde talks about being labeled as moody and grumpy because of her style. She also talks about Hilary Duff attending one of her concerts and how her life has changed because of her sudden fame.
On Being Labeled Moody: "There are a lot of expectations in this industry about looking a certain way and having a certain kind of appeal. I am feminine, but I really love dressing in boys' clothes too. I guess that's why I get labeled as 'the grumpy girl,' because I don't play into that."
On Learning That Hilary Duff Attended Her Concert: "Hilary Duff? Are you freaking serious? Hilary Duff was there last night? This is what dreams are made of! Was she vibing it? Was she bobbing her head? This is the most insane thing that's ever happened to me. That's my childhood right there. Hilary Duff is a fan - that freaks me out!"
On How Her Life Has Changed: "Living in New Zealand, you don't get these experiences. I spent so much time in my room before. My life is so wild right now. For me to be able to do something I really enjoy and for that to get me out in the world—to South America, to here, to London - every day I kick myself, I'm so lucky."

(a healthy paleo recipe)
About this time of year I'm always changing up the way I cook in the kitchen. Bring back the fresh fish tacos and large salads. Most of all it's time to bring the BBQ out of hiding. That's something to get excited about!
Today's recipe is something so easy and simple I can't believe I haven't been making this longer. This meal goes well paired with an over abundance of fresh salad and homemade vinaigrette dressing! The perfect hello to spring!
All you need to make this mouth watering recipe is the following:
1 lb of raw de-vained and detailed shrimp
2 cups - Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
1/3 cup - Coconut Oil
1/2-1 tsp (depending on how much paprika flavor desired) - Paprika
1/2 tsp - Sea Salt
1 tsp - Ground Pepper
Start by preparing a cooking sheet wrapped with foil. This helps with cleanup of the messy coconut.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Prepare a small bowl with the coconut oil melted. This will be used for dipping the shrimp in.
Prepare a flat bowl with the coconut and spices all mixed together.
Next take the shrimp and dip it into the melted coconut oil. Take the shrimp with the coconut oil on it and cover it in the bowl of coconut and spices until well covered then place the coconut shrimp on the tray. Repeat this process with each piece of shrimp.
Cook in the oven until a golden color appears on the top of the shrimp (about 8-10 minutes).

Braided Crown
1 || Begin by parting your hair down the middle into two sections. Tie each section together to keep separated.
2 || Braid each side into french braids. For more of a raised look reverse french braid. Create this look by moving each strand under instead of over. Take the braid along side your hairline to create a crown look.
3 || Repeat this step on the other side.
4 || Once you are finished you should have two reverse french braids.
Take the braids and cross them one over the other into a twisted bun bobby pinning the over lapping braids wherever needed to keep in place.
5 || Place bobby pins wherever needed along braid path to keep secure.
6 || Loosen braid to create a timeless and loose looking braid.
7 || You're finished! You've created the "dutch braided" look.

DIY headboard: step-by-step
Here is a step-by-step on how to make a headboard. Go to your local home store and fabric/craft store to pick out the following products:
1 large piece of plywood cut (at the store) in the size that works best for your bed. From the fabric store pick out a batting that will be just the right amount of padding that you want to create. I suggest medium. If there is too much padding there will be ridges around the outside showing the thickness through the fabric. Too thin will not give the desired "fluffy" look. After stapling the batting to the plywood with a staple gun, add in a thin batting for a more even look. staple to the plywood on top of the thicker batting.
After the batting(s) have been added and stapled to the plywood, add your favorite shade of fabric as the fabric that will be the final display for the headboard. This fabric should preferably have some texture, durability and not stretch when pulled and stapled on the plywood.
Above is after the batting, and fabric have been stapled to the plywood.
Choose a trim style that suits your taste. Along with that thick trim, pick a smaller strip that will go around the outer edges to completely conceal the plywood in the back. Measure the distance around your headboard so you have enough trim!
Pick out your favorite paint! This is the fun part! Be creative. I just chose a neutral taupe tone and added bronze for accents ( Martha Stewart Metallic Paint- Gravel and Vintage Gold)
Don't be too picky about how you paint the trim. I painted inconsistently to get a more aged look. So don't fill in everything! Once the gravel gray color was added I whisked on the vintage gold paint for accents and the aged look.
Measure the desired angle that your trim must connect at and use a skill saw to create the angle.
The above picture shows the smaller piece of trim on the outer corner and the angle achieved. The picture on the right shows the corners connected before caulking.
Connect the trim to the headboard using finishing nails. Finishing nails help connect the trim to the headboard without being able to see the nails!
Once connected with finishing nails, take a small amount of caulk to all divots created by the finishing nails and the corners of trim connected that have space. Caulk until an even seamless look is achieved. Let dry (if needed) then top with the same painting technique as used previously.
To make the headboard stand upright, use the leftover wood from the plywood backboard as legs (this is why it is important to have a sturdy plywood, so that the headboard can stand up without breaking).
Measure the desired height from the floor to the bed and screw in the legs using shorter screws that only screw into the plywood and no deeper. Use multiple screws in all areas to keep sturdy.
There you have it! Your brand new headboard that in the end only cost me a little over $100, but worth so much more for the time and effort! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks for reading!

What could I do to improve my Immune system to avoid getting a cold and cough when the weather changes
Here is what can be done for your immune system.
Prepare your immune system
It is important not to wait until the symptoms of a cold
or flu appear before doing something. Here is information that will help your immune system being more efficient
against germs.
Most adults suffer between 2 and 4 colds each year.The common cold causes more days off work than any other ailment. A person is contagious from the day before the illness breaks out until 1 to 3 days after they feel better.
A mild cold may last
only 2 to 3 days while severe colds may last for up to 2 weeks.The person suffers from a general feeling of
discomfort, headaches, nasal dryness and/or runny nose, congestion of the upper
respiratory tract.
A simple cold can even develop into sinusitis or ear infections.
The flu is a viral infection that is highly
contagious.The symptoms starts
with:high fever, headaches, shivers
aches and pains, tiredness;followed by
lung congestion, nasal secretions, difficulty swallowing and watering of the
eyes.There are over 200 different cold
viruses.The incubation period, the time
between the entrance of the viruses in the body and the appearance of the first
symptoms, is 8 to 12 hours.
Cold symptoms during an infection are mainly caused by the reactions of the immune system and not the virus itself. Unfortunately you really can catch one cold after another.After suffering a cold you are only immune to that specific virus, so there's nothing to stop you catching any of the 200 or so other cold viruses.Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria and have the deplorable effect of reducing the efficiency of the immune system by eliminating our intestinal flora which is our first line of defense.This makes us more vulnerable to relapses and undesirable bacteria and yeast.Vaccination only protects us against a few viruses (about 10) and leaves us vulnerable to the rest of them.
The Question: how can we protect ourselves?
The Solution:boosting our immune system so it can eliminate all invaders
If you easily catch a cold, the flu or a sinusitis, the best way to proceed is to take Echinaforce every day. A recent research, states that the Echinaforce fresh plant products from A.Vogel help optimize the efficiency of the immune system.Those on the placebo had 59% more cold and flu than those on Echinaforce and these numbers are even higher for those with high levels of stress, sleep problems and smokers (82%). This same research proved without any doubts that Echinaforce is an immune-modulator (not the case for other Echinacea remedies) and can be safely taken for up to 4 months at 3-5 times a day without any signs of leucopenia (happens with immune stimulators) or auto-immune reactions.Usually, most will benefit by simply taking it 1-2 times a day in prevention but they can increase to 3 times if there is a lot of people sick around them.
Other tips
-Wash your hands regularly to prevent the propagation of germs.
-Rest, since we need 8 hours of sleep per night to be healthy.
-Do a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day (outdoor if possible).
-Drink a minimum of 8 big glasses of water a day.
-Eat well balanced meals with lots of fruits, vegetables and sprouts (rich in antioxidants).
-Avoid refine sugars and eliminate dairy products if they cause congestion.
-Have 500-1000 mg of vitamin C (calcium ascorbate better) a day and more if you smoke.
-Have 2000 IU of vitamin D a day to support your immunity.

The original proposal to tax firearms sales at $25 per firearm has been amended to remove the ammunition sales tax but the firearm tax remained. Todays vote was crucial but preliminary. There is one final opportunity to defeat this misguided and burdensome tax. Please contact the Cook County Board of Commissioners TODAY and demand they remove this tax from the final budget when it comes up for a vote on November 16.

Arnold creek cat retreat expands boarding facilities
ARNOLD CREEK - Arnold Creek Cat Retreat has expanded its cage-free boarding facilities just in time for summer vacation.
Open since 2004, the retreat has become increasingly popular among pet owners, owner and veternarian technician Shirley Catterall said, and the demand for its boarding services had gotten almost overwhelming.
'It got to the point where rooms were booked up several months in advance with a waiting list most weeks,' she said. 'It was frustrating not being able to accommodate my clients, so I decided this spring to expand the retreat from 10 to 15 rooms.'
During their visits to the retreat, each feline guest stays in its own 6' by 4' room with 7' ceilings and a large window. Rooms are furnished with soft, clean bedding, food and water dishes, a litter box and toys. Cats also receive twice-a-day feedings, litter box changes, petting and playtime.
All feline guests must be up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccinations to stay at the retreat, although cats with non-contagious ailments are welcome.
Arnold Creek Cat Retreat offers additional services including administration of routine medications such as oral tablets, insulin injections and ear, eye or other topical treatments as well as more advanced medical treatments such as subcutaneous fluids, post-operative bandage changes, syringe feeding and glucose monitoring to care for cats with special needs.
For more information and to reserve a room, contact Catterall at 503-892-2889 or visit www.arnoldcreekcatretreat.com.

The Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory reopened in April, an opening that coincided with the 2011 Festival of the Arts, says Allan Storjohann, Myriad Botanical Gardens manager.
There is a lot more for visitors to see and do while visiting the gardens, explains Storjohann.
"Likely the thing that people will notice the most is the overall openness of the space," says Storjohann. "While several hills are still in place, there are more open areas, and the walkways are more direct with gentle, tucked-in, quiet spaces."
The hills have been transformed into open spaces for concerts and other outdoor events. A children's garden will feature bio ponds, a hedge labyrinth and other elements. Canine visitors can enjoy some off-leash time in the dog run area. State-of-the-art water features, sculptural art and nature elements are located throughout the gardens.
The Crystal Bridge has been restored to its namesake with all-new acrylic panels for a "clear" appearance and a spectacular new LED lighting system bringing color and life to nighttime events. A new entry has also been added to the south end of the Crystal Bridge.
"The children's garden and new visitors' center are still a few months away," remarks Storjohann. "Later in the year, we'll have a restaurant and an outdoor plaza that will convert to an ice skating rink.
Work began more than a year ago to renovate the Gardens, right after the closing of the Festival of the Arts in 2010.
"Within 24 hours, we had demolition trucks moved onto the property," Storjohann says.
The newly renovated Gardens will offer a more integrated and interactive experience for visitors and serve as a community gathering space for arts, entertainment, culture and botanical education.
"The entire concept harmonizes art with nature," says Storjohann.
The renovations were funded two ways: through a voter-approved general obligation bond and the City's Project180 downtown improvement initiative.
For a sneak peek, visit the city's Project180 photo page at www.flickr.com.

Reading through the whole thing, i didn't see anyone mention a revolver. I only own revolvers. My Colt King Cobra is my favorite. I like shooting a gun that is reliable, accurate, and has stopping power. That gun is all 3, and more.

Good suggestion. I was reading his initial post earlier and it seemed like a 357 fit the bill pretty well. Can shoot 38 spl rounds for target practice, and full power 357 loads are a very capable man-stopper/hunting round for deer-sized and smaller game.


text: I own a keltec p3at. Having said that, I'd consider getting a small revolver in 38. Ruger's new LCR or any of the lightweight Smiths. I'm in the process of selling my 380 to purchase one of the above mentioned. I'm a big old guy who has trouble with little semiautos. My eyes and hands get in the way. Also, I don't like the idea of not having a slide stop.

I'm a little in awe of this picture of Bill Hailey and his Comets from 1957, the energy and movement make it such a great shot.
I love the tartan jackets, they feel a little bit christmassy and the check is a good quality print. To get a '50s influenced look with tartan wear a traditional check scarf with a pair of simple, neat black jeans and t-shirt with a zip-up jacket. Greased hair and brothel creepers are compulsory.

Wave Blazer
Website: Wave Blazer
Price: Free for one level, $2.99 for full version
Wave Blazer is yet another welcome addition to the gradually expanding line-up of 3D arcade games appearing on Android. If you've played Midway's Hydro Thunder in the arcades or on the Sega Dreamcast console then you'll have a good idea of what the action entails.
You're put in charge of a speedy powerboat that you have to guide around a tricky course within a competitive time in order to move on to the next level. The 3D graphics are pretty impressive as there are plenty of buildings, ramps and obstacles to add interest to the courses, and with a solid selection of different powerboats and courses there's enough to keep you coming back for more. However, be warned, the game can be a bit sluggish and jerky on less powerful handsets.
The handling of the boats could certainly be improved, but overall Wave Blazer provides enough thrills to warrant its fairly low price tag.
