Filed Under MMA, StokerRe: Cung Le December 19, 2009 by Stoker MacIntosh - In the game of high-stakes-poker, a player either holds the high-cards in his hand ..or he doesn't. If he has them, great, he wins; if he doesn't, though—in an attempt to fool the rest of the players around the table—he can chose to bluff. Cung Le (6-0, 6 by KO) is a 37-year-old undefeated Vietnamese/American cagefighter hailing from San Jose, Calif., who was once the Strikeforce Middleweight Champion before leaving the cage in search of a more lucrative acting career. Le—an unorthodox Sanshou-style cagefighter—is now about to lay his cards upon the table once more when he headlines the Strikeforce mixed martial arts promotion's latest venture, "Evolution," against Scott Smith If Le does indeed have the metaphoric "royal straight flush" as the hype surrounding him seems to suggest, and he isn't bluffing, then he will need prove it this weekend against Smith, who's tough, and a seasoned veteran at 17–6 (1). Most fans of Le first became acquainted with the Sanshou (which is a Chinese martial art) kickboxer when he became the promotion's middleweight strap-holder by defeating the highly-respected mma pioneer Frank Shamrock via TKO in a fight co-promoted by Strikeforce and EliteXC. In boxing, coaches will warn you never to "go in without your stick," meaning lead with your jab when attempting to close distance. However, Le likes to kick first—to establish and create his distance. This technique is simply employed by replacing the measuring-steak, boxing jab, with a leg kick instead. It's also a technique which has worked equally well for other great cagefighters; such as current champion Anderson 'The Spider' Silva and the undefeated Lyoto Machida—who are both highly respected for their knockouts and elite prowess, albeit in a higher promotion known as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC. They say that "styles make fights," and the Le vs. Shamrock matchup was arguably one of the better made contests of last year, 2008. Yet, in every great contest there has to be a winner and a loser, and in this historic "slug and kick fest," a long hard battle ensued in which Le eventually became the champion. Shamrock, however—after suffering courageously through a fractured right arm from a series of lethal kicks from Le—proved he is no joke. The pioneer showed amazing resilience and courage while absorbing the pain-filled loss squarely on the chin. ~

This fall, Northwestern Oklahoma State University students from Newkirk will benefit from $20,000 in scholarship support provided by an anonymous donor.
The Newkirk Recruiting Scholarship was established to assist Newkirk graduating high school seniors who are in pursuit of higher education at Northwestern, with second preference given to graduates from Kay County. The donor has pledged an additional $80,000 over the next four years.
"There has been a significant increase in interest from students at Newkirk High School," Matt Adair, Northwestern director of recruitment, said. "For the first time in nearly a decade, we were given the opportunity to address the entire senior class about the advantages of a Northwestern education. The school administration was very impressed with the investment the Northwestern community was willing to make in their students."
The scholarship will be awarded in a manner that best supports the interest of increasing the numbers of students enrolling from the Newkirk area. Offered on a first-come, first-served basis, the scholarship may be renewed for up to four years if requirements are met and may be applied toward university-related expenses, such as tuition, fees, room, board and books.
"Northwestern is excited to have the ability to provide financial assistance to Newkirk-area students," Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president, said. "Our affordability and outstanding financial aid program make Northwestern an exceptional value in higher education. This gift represents a commitment to the residents of Newkirk, and we are very grateful."
To be considered for this scholarship, students must apply with the Northwestern Financial Aid Office or the Northwestern Recruiting Office before July 1 prior to the fall they plan to attend Northwestern. After July 1, the scholarship can be offered to any Kay County students. Applicants must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average and meet Northwestern admission standards.
"Scholarships provide incentive and reward for our prospective students," Adair said. "In the recruitment office, we work hard to provide students with information that details all the tremendous advantages of an education from Northwestern.
"When this information includes scholarship opportunities, it makes it very easy for a student to choose Northwestern for their higher education."
For more information about investing in students at Northwestern, contact Skeeter Bird, Northwestern Foundation CEO, at email@example.com or 580-327-8599.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

The work here are selections that shows my best thinking on leading school vision, instructional supervision, the leadership of an organization, the ethical aspects of leading schools, collaborating with school and community partners, and the place of public schools in a democratic society. I've also shared here reflections on the various aspects of school leadership and my leadership philosophy.
I have been teaching for over twenty years, all within public institutions. I have taught at the university level, at a community public school in Burkina Faso, in West Africa, and for the last thirteen years, at public high schools in the Bronx. I am committed to collaborating with like-minded educators to provide quality educational opportunities to students in communities that have traditionally been underserved.

After three seasons and a Super Bowl victory, TE Jeremy Shockey's time in New Orleans is up.
The Saints released Shockey on Tuesday afternoon after the least-productive season of his career. Shockey caught three touchdowns but his 41 receptions and 408 yards were both career-lows.
New Orleans acquired Shockey, a nine-year veteran, in a trade with the Giants before the start of the 2008-09 season. The following year, Shockey and the Saints beat the Colts 31-17 to win Super Bowl XLIV.
"Jeremy played an important role in helping our team bring a Super Bowl championship to New Orleans," said Saints coach Sean Payton.
"He contributed to the success of our offense, both as a pass-catcher and run blocker, and we're appreciative of his efforts."
Payton was the Giants' offensive coordinator when New York selected Shockey in the first round of the 2002 NFL draft. However, with Shockey due to make $4.5 million next season and his declining production, the Saints are moving on.
"It's a business, I understand," Shockey told ESPN's Rachel Nichols.
"I'll just go play hard for someone else. Whoever gets me, it's going to be a steal."
Jimmy Graham is expected to take over as the Saints' primary receiving TE after a rookie season which saw him come on late. Graham caught 26 of his 31 passes and all five of his touchdowns in the Saints' last eight games.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State.

How to Access Help Online
UNIX Online Documentation
There are several ways to access online documentation:
- The man command: man commandname
The man command contains the complete UNIX manual, with pages for every command, library file, header file, and common file formats. man uses a terminal interface; xman uses the X-windows GUI interface.
- The SGI TechPubs Library is web based documentation that goes beyond the
man pages. The library contains extensive information on our SGI systems. It is searchable
and can be used from any web browser.
To access the TechPubs Library from your browser, go to:
- The IBM Documentation Library is a web based documentation that goes beyond
the unix man pages. In fact, all man pages for the IBM should be available in HTML format
from this library.
To access the Documentation Library from your browser, go to:
TAMU Supercomputing Facility Website
Don't forget, documentation for many of the commercial applications running on our servers is also
available on the TAMU Supercomputing website at:
http://sc.tamu.edu/help and http://sc.tamu.edu/software
In addition to application documentation, the website provides up-to-date news and information regarding developments at the Facility which impact the user community.
How to use the "man" command
To access the online manual from the UNIX command line, use the man command. To read the manual for the C-shell (csh) enter:
k2% man csh
The output will look like this:
csh(1) csh(1) NAME csh - shell command interpreter with a C-like syntax SYNOPSIS csh [ -bcefinstvVxX ] [ argument ... ] DESCRIPTION csh, the C shell, is a command interpreter with a syntax reminiscent of the C language. It provides a number of convenient features for interactive use that are not available with the standard (Bourne) shell, including filename completion, command aliasing, history substitution, job control, and a number of built-in commands. As with the standard shell, the C shell provides variable, command and filename substitution. . .
This is only the first page of output and there is more to read.
You can use these keys in man:
|show the next page
|scroll forward 1 line
|scroll forward 1/2 page
|go back to the previous page
|find the string stuff in the document
|repeat the last find command
|help - shows keyboard commands
How to Find Things
To find something in the online manual use the whereis, whatis, and apropos commands.
whereis returns the location of a named file, for example:
k2% whereis ls ls: /usr/bin/ls /sbin/ls /usr/share/catman/u_man/cat1/ls.z
This means the "ls" program is in /usr/bin and also in /sbin/ls. Furthermore, the man page for ls is in /usr/share/catman/u_man/cat1/ls.z.
whatis returns a short description of a command or function. Example:
agave% whatis gcc gcc (1) - GNU project C and C++ compiler
means that help for gcc is in section 1 of the manual.
agave% whatis strcat strcat(3) - Copies and appends strings inmemory.
means that help for strcat is in section 3 of the manual. You could use "man 3 strcat" to read this man page.
Sometimes you will get multiple responses:
agave% whatis make make (1L) - GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs make(1) - Maintains, updates, andregenerates groups of programs.
this indicates that there are two make commands. To read about the GNU make, you could enter:
agave% man 1L make
Apropos keyword search
The apropos command will search for keywords in the descriptions of man pages. If you enter:
agave% apropos perl
you will get a list of all manual pages related to "perl". If there are a lot (as for perl) you can pipe the output through more:
agave% apropos perl | more
Sections of the Manual
The online manuals are divided into sections, numbered 1-8.
The reference
csh(1) means the
csh command in section 1.
The sections are:
|User commands
|System calls
|Library routines, for use in programs
|File formats (on the IBM, this section is for special files, device drivers, and hardware)
|Miscellaneous (on the IBM this section is for configuration files)
|Demos and games
|Special files, device and network interfaces (on the IBM this section is for miscellaneous pages)
|System administration commands
|Device Drivers (section D does not exist on the IBM)
|local commands; not used at TAMU SC
|public commands; not used at TAMU SC
|new commands; not used at TAMU SC
|old commands; not used at TAMU SC
On the SGIs some sections have an "intro" page giving more information on that section. If you wanted to learn what subroutines are available for C programming, you would enter:
man 3 introThis intro page would inform you that section 3 is further classified into subsections for various types of subroutines: 3C for the standard C library, 3M for the math library, etc.
Location of the Online Manuals
The man command will only for help files in directories on your MANPATH. To see your MANPATH, type:
echo $MANPATH
The locations of help files for the man command are:
|Manual for software in /usr/local/bin
|Manual for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
You can add new directories to your MANPATH. For example, to add /usr/local/gnu/man, enter:
For C-shell (csh) users:

Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
Here are some pictures of the Cherry Wet Wax (From Coats Products). This is on Ford Tuxedo Black paint. This is the best wax I have ever used on Dark colors... nothing compares to it.

Thanks! That was a 1.5hr detail... from washing through waxing. It is phenomenal stuff and is very quick and easy to use.

Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
The lazy sod that I'm I have used Turtle wax Color Magic Car Polish last weekend.
It was fast and easy to apply. It removed 95% of scratches and swirl marks.
The wax is black so it fills scratches very well.
It also comes with a wax pen for deeper scratches.
The manufacturer claims it contains Carnauba wax.
I was wondering if anybody else has used this product as I'm concerned with it's durability.
Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
So many different ways. I have different rituals for the different colors and paint types I have.
My Urethane cars get one good sponge pad power buffing with Perfect It.
I use two types of detail sprays and NEVER wax, I hate wax on urethanes, it becomes magnetic to dust and stays on the surface dull after the sun has baked it to a fade. I use Maguiars Ultimate (with polymers) on my Crystal Red V, and I use Zaino Grand Finale on my GN. The constant build up of Polymers is more effective on increasing the shine better than any wax. To each his own, you either maintain with detail spray or play catch up with polish and waxes.
I have tried MANY products for years and have had countless cars. I find Zaino to be very impressive but don't like the lack of accessibility to it's products. I use ONLY Maguiars Gold Class Car Wash Soap for two reasons, one, it can be very soft and lathery if the right mixture is used, and two, it smells like Johnson and Johnson's No Tears Baby Shampoo. Hey, smell really matters to me...
I use a California water Blade on ALL my cars with ZERO scratches if washed properly. Walk around it with the compressor blow-gun, then dry with a LARGE microfiber hand towel that is seasoned with either Lucas Slick Mist or Eagle One Wax-as-you-dry to dry the vehicle. I never wash my microfiber towels, I throw them away every year and buy new ones from the Adams tent at Corvettes at Carlisle.
I only use Dawn dishwashing detergent, and I use i special ordered hand sponge that goes all the way in my wheels to the inner bead. I use a sheepskin mitt on the face of the wheel. After drying, I use something we all should use, Armor All Wheel Protectant spray. It really works, and is a must for our cars.
Tires: Westley's Bleach White once a month, then a light coating of Maguiars Endurance Tire Gel.
Wheel wells: Jack the car up, mitt the wheel wells with dawn, then Armor All Detailer's Choice while still wet to help soak into plastic.
Windows: I only use GM Glass Cleaner from the dealer, It's much stronger that Windex and helps my wipers last longer, plus my V has an endless film on the windshield that I've heard about many times here.
My Lacquer cars are easy:
Light colors get a hand cleaning with "Finesse It" (same as clay bar but liquid)
Dark colors get a hand cleaning with "Perfect it" (same as clay bar but liquid)
Then the light colors get one or two coats a year of Adams Buttery Wax (easy easy wipe off, zero residue, noticeable shine, pretty available to me at Summit Racing).
The dark colors get Liquid Glass (takes 2 coats to start working, than gets a sic shine)
Oh, and I hate Griots... It's power marketed, and to me shows little results. I am about to embark on some newly acquired way too expensive Wolfgang Fuzion Wax and detail spray on my V, but not expecting any revelations.
Zaino takes lots of time once a year. Wash with z7 and finish with spray detailer other times. It's really not that hard to me. I swear by the stuff.

Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
Hey yo Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!
First for those on a budget, without a lot of time:
And then:
You had better believe it looks twice as good on black.
But I will be using Zaino on my black V this spring. The results will be 2x whats shown above.
Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
A couple weekends ago I "Wolfgang'd" my V.
After a hand wash with Dawn, I used the Wolfgang Polish Enhancer. This was the hardest part of the entire process, but even at that, it was pretty easy. I say "hardest" because I used a little extra elbow grease when applying it to help buff out any swirls, mars, etc. that I came across. It worked great and even on the trunk, where I had removed the ugly dealer badge which left a noticeably dull area where it was mounted, it polished that out completely. I was thinking that I might have to use an actual cut polish, but the Wolfgang did great with it.
After the polish, I applied the Wolfgang Fuzion wax. This is the best wax I have ever used. It goes on super easy, and a littel goes a loooong way. It came off just as easy as it went on.
As you can tell by the background, we still haven't fully had srping arrive yet, and just this past weekend got another sh!tload of snow. Once spring does settle in, I'll get to the tires and rims.

Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
That looks really good. Nice job.
Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
^^^ Yep - I have to agree. Looks really great!
But never heard of Wolfgang products. Is this a Canadian product, or have I just not noticed it in the local outlets?

Re: Black Raven- what wax and steps to make the car shine as new
I just did a 6hr long "detail" of my 09 black raven. It had some moderate swirls/scratches throughout the clear. The average person wouldn't even note them, but I'm super picky. I used Menzerna products with my orbital buffer.
Cut with a compound and heavy pad, then medium pad with a medium polish, then a super soft pad with a finishing polish, then cleaned it up real good and finished off the entire process with a coat of Z2 from Zaino. The car looks showroom new and has a mirror finish.
Taping off the entire car was a pain in the ass, but well worth it. I did forget about the taillights in the rear and ended up buffer burning a small part of each one, but I would only be able to point it out. This is my first black car I've had, so I'm trying to let the small stuff go....

On my recent trip to the d.Construct 2007 conference in Brighton, England, I had the good fortune to sit down with acclaimed designer Cameron Moll.
Cameron is the Interaction Design Manager for the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the work he oversees reaches a world-wide audience. His very popular design blog Authentic Boredom, regularly features engaging articles and unleashed the "wicked worn" look across the web, which earned him a mention on NPR.
Cameron's excellent talk at d.Construct was about the differences between good design and great design. (Fortunately, he's covering this topic — and much more — in his almost sold out full-day UI12 tutorial session.) I found Cameron's perspectives on graphic design theory, HCI principals, and his communication-centric approach both fascinating and stunningly effective.
In our conversation, Cameron let me in on his background and his unusual journey to both design and the web. We discussed the importance of getting to know your customer before you make design decisions. We also discussed what to do after each project so you take its lessons forward.
Like many of us, Cameron works in a large, complex organization. This means managing design decisions and wrestling (often inflexible) enterprise technology. He talked to me about how he has integrated his real-world experiences into his UI12 tutorial and how he is working on bringing elegance and great function to his complex work projects.
Even though Cameron is recognized for his world-class design talent, I am surprised how friendly and humble he is. We had a fascinating conversation that I think you'll enjoy.

text: After 22 years of ownership (and practically non use) of my P85 I contacted Ruger to see if the safety recall could still be done to my gun. They sent me a prepaid shipping box and instructions on shipping within a week. Shipped the gun out on the 30th of November and recieved it back last night, the 9th of December. Wonderful turn around time. When I open the box and viewed the gun I was more than pleasently surprised. Over the years the slide had discolored in a few places, in fact I was going to bring the gun to a smith to have it refinished when I got it back. The gun looked brand new, so good I immediatly checked to make sure that it was my serial number. The more I looked the better the gun looked. I then noticed that it looked new because it in fact it was a new slide. My original slide had a stamping inperfection in the Ruger logo, the stamping of this slide was perfect. I then noticed that some of the wear on the frame was gone too. In replacing my rubber grips from the original one I noticed that there were no wear marks anywhere on the frame. I can only assume that Ruger when servicing my gun for the safety recal relpaced my slide, and refinished my frame. I am throughly impressed with the service from Ruger and will look to purchase from them first in the future. Not sure if this is the norm on service as this is the first time I have ever sent a firearm back for service but I am pleasently surprised. BTW cost to me $0.00

The left-handed hitter, who turns 30 years of age later this month, is familiar to the Cardinals through his Triple-A play this past season, both with the A's and Padres' Pacific Coast League squads. Across the two stops, Moore had 14 home runs, 66 RBI and an .801 OPS in 2013.
The well-traveled Moore was initially selected by the Detroit Tigers in the first round of the June 2002 First-Year Player Draft, taken eighth overall. He then played in the Cubs organization (twice), Orioles, Astros, A's and Padres systems.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder also has appeared in 152 major league games over five different seasons. Moore's most recent action was with the 2012 Astros. His aggregate MLB line is .242/.302/.410/.712 with Houston, Baltimore and Chicago.
Defensively, Moore is primarily a third baseman, but has played every infield position as well as the corner outfield spots. With the Memphis Redbirds having lost a number of minor league veterans due to free agency, Moore should provide a proven Triple-A bat in 2014.
November 18 update
In their official announcement of Moore's signing, the Cardinals disclosed that the deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training camp.

What's really upsetting is that he went to BWW to get wings! That place is terrible!
#66 Oct 14, 2012
Check out the "Eli Cobb" story, on Oct. 14 "Oh Geez" posted a comment stating that he's "an unnamed reporter". Interesting, I wonder if his initials are LM?
United States
#67 Oct 14, 2012
That's not me- wrong oh geez.
#68 Oct 28, 2012
I can't believe how quiet this story got about misbehaving alderman Rick Stokes; you might want to say almost a hush. And as soon as this story got quiet so did LM in his blog about our Mayor. Makes me wonder what kind of deal was made in this circle of politics that we have to live in now in Wentzville. Someone ststed corruption at its best and this is now becoming very clear there is a big coverup. Would anyone like to share with me what is happening?
#69 Oct 28, 2012
I agree! It's ironic also that Stokes and the rest of the Board suddenly did an about face and voted FOR the mayor's recommendation of Luby to fill the vacancy on the Board. Stokes and the other aldermen had voted against the mayor's recommendation several times and were adamant that the mayor didn't have the authority to appoint someone to fill that vacancy. But that miraculously changed and their "change of heart" occurred as all of this "BWW/Stokes" controversy got quiet.
I think it would be interesting to know how much the Board has spent on "buying out" contracts on employees they've terminated, the fees to Head Hunters plus expenses flying job candidates in from all over the US and their expenses while they're here to interview. I believe there have been two separate attempts to fill the City Administrator position with nobody accepting the position. So now they're paying "interim employees" because they can't find anyone willing to accept employment in the positions the Board voted to terminate! Time to involve Elliott Davis of "You Paid For It" fame!!!
#70 Oct 28, 2012
If anyone is interested in getting the information on what this Board headed by Rick Stokes has cost the taxpayers it's public information. Call Wentzville City Hall and request information from City Clerk, Vitula Skillman.
#71 Nov 2, 2012
I am embarrassed to be a citizen of Wentzville with the corruption we are now seeing in our aldermen. The only way to relieve us from this corruption is to bring new faces to the board. I will do my part to replace these thugs we currently have but the question is, Will you?
#72 Nov 8, 2012
I will do my part as well as you.
#73 Nov 13, 2012
Check out the story in the Wentzville Patch, Nov 13, "Police Report Involving Alderman Costs City $1K". The cover up is starting to be uncovered, and it's not going to be flattering to our so called "city leaders".
#74 Nov 13, 2012
I read the article and I hope the Patch keeps probing because I believe they have only scratched the surface. Everyone is aware that if the Aldermen don't get their way, they will fire the person who gets in their way.
Read the article and tell me if you think something smells fishy?
#75 Nov 13, 2012
There's no doubt in my mind that there's a much bigger story to be uncovered. It's very obvious that this Board is misusing their power over City employees, especially contracted employees. Maybe that's why they're in the process of creating more contract positions under the guise of "saving tax dollars". The fact is that in the long run it will cost the taxpayers more.
#76 Nov 13, 2012
There are approximately 7 contract employees currently employed by the city and they're all in the top management positions. The Board can terminate their contracts at will, which has happened approximately 5 times in the previous 30 months, and the taxpayers have paid the remaining balance of at least 3 of those contracts! The threat of immediate termination makes for very compliant employees and that gives way too much power to this group of unethical idiots. Lisa Harrison (chief of police) is a contract employee...and it shows by her "compliance"! I wonder how long it will be before there's a lawsuit filed?!!
#77 Nov 14, 2012
I recently had to purchase a police report in Wentzville and it only cost me $5. Wonder why the difference in charges when it involves a political leader. Hmmm....
#78 Dec 22, 2013
I came across this forum and had to ask myself why would anyone re-elect Rick Stokes
#79 Dec 22, 2013
I think Stokes counts on the Wentzville voters being apathetic and disconnected. The old "re-elect the incumbent" attitude because it's too annoying to get involved in the slimy small town political world! Look at how few people voted in previous elections.
The Wentzville taxpayers have a huge wake up call coming in the future due to this Board's actions and in some cases inactions! Wentzville is swiftly becoming a training ground for inexperienced employees, they'll stay for a year or so to get some experience then move onto better paying and better run city governments! Stokes has openly said that he feels any employee staying longer than three years is not a good employee...and the moron made that comment to several long term employees. I wonder why so many loyal employees have left and continue to leave?!!

If you believe no employee should work more than 3 years, then your time is up. We have had to deal with your pompise attitude and bad behavior longer than any city should have to. TIME FOR RICK STOKES TO GO PLAY WITH THE HBA FULL TIME. PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS.
#82 Jan 6, 2014
Absolutely! Stokes has left a very negative imprint on the City during his tenure, and he shows no signs of changing!
#83 Jan 18, 2014
I agree he must go! He is an embarrassment to the City of Wentzville.
#84 Jan 18, 2014
Hopefully Wentzville voters are paying attention and will vote him out of office!

This is Stupid and Incompetent, I'm all for protecting children from any type of abuse but this is really fucking stupid.
In the case of New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services v. V.M. and B.G., In the Matter of J.M.G., new mother V.M. was never allowed contact with her daughter and has had her parental rights terminated. And now the decision has been held up on appeal link to the decision. Father B.G. initially had his rights terminated too, but on appeal that decision has been reversed. No word on whether either parent has ever been allowed to see their daughter, who is now 2 years old.
I haven't been able to get back to original court decision contesting the DYFS decision, but from everything I've read, the whole argument against the mother is based on her behavior in the hospital – in labor – with a doctor trying to force a C-section on her. I had a relatively uneventful childbirth experience, but I'm sure some of the same adjectives could be used to describe my behavior at times during the labor.

Londoners go to the polls tomorrow to choose their next Mayor — and the 25 members of the London Assembly.
Voters will get three ballot papers — pink for the Mayor, yellow for candidates standing in their local Assembly constituency, and orange for the list of capital-wide Assembly members.
While Tory Boris Johnson and Labour's Ken Livingstone have dominated the race there are five other candidates: Lib-Dem Brian Paddick, Green Jenny Jones, Ukip's Lawrence Webb, independent Siobhan Benita, and Carlos Cortiglia of the BNP.
Voters will pick their first and second choices for Mayor. If no candidate gets over 50 per cent, the top two go into a run-off, and the second preferences of people who voted for eliminated candidates will be added.
The winner gets a £14 billion budget and powers over policing, transport, housing and the Olympics. The two votes for the 25-member Assembly will decide who scrutinises the Mayor and examines issues of concern for Londoners.
Boroughs that could swing race
2008: Boris 69,265 (61%)
Ken 43,526 (39%)
Ken should pick up votes here as the Tory Assembly candidate is unpopular but his remarks about "rich Jews" not voting Labour may bite him in a borough with tens of thousands of Jewish voters.
2008: Boris 57,625 (71%)
Ken 23,130 (29%)
One of the four "doughnut" boroughs — also including Bromley, Hillingdon and Havering — that helped Boris to City Hall in 2008. Experts claim just 10,000 votes for Ken in each could deliver him victory.
2008: Boris 85,989 (72%)
Ken 33,190 (28%)
True blue Bromley gave Boris his biggest borough vote last time. But if turn-out here sinks below the 51.8 per cent in 2008 it could spell bad news for him.
2008: Boris 53,283 (64%)
Ken 29,368 (36%)
One of the boroughs visited frequently by Ken over the last four years after he was accused of neglecting it. If his attention translates to support it could help a comeback.
2008: Boris 22,959 (38%) Ken 38,116 (62%)
Home to the Labour middle-classes, who may be tempted to back local resident Boris. They have been urged by Labour bosses to " hold their nose" and vote for Ken.
2008: Boris 29,840 (39%) Ken 47,349 (61%)
Labour heartland, so Ken's vote should be solid. Any tremor in his support here, with voters maybe turning to the Greens or Lib-Dems, could mean disaster for him in the capital-wide result.
2008: Boris 65,192 (58%)
Ken 48,130 (42%)
A Tory-controlled borough — but with poorer pockets so not a guaranteed win for Boris. He may have lost support over his handling of last summer's riots when Croydon went up in flames.
2008: Boris 23,886 (34%)
Ken 47,254 (66%)
Police are also watching this Labour-supporting borough, dogged for years by allegations of vote fraud.

This depends on the degree of impairment imposed by having small breasts.
For some women who have had breast cancer, the breast implants are priceless. For others that are stigmatized and self conscious about their appearance, they will state it was one of the best decisions they ever made.
On the other hand, there are other individuals for whom the expectations are unrealistic and the surgery was not worth it.

Images are powerful communicators. Long before a medical device design becomes reality in the marketplace, the features of the device and its advantages over current competitive products can be communicated via images. Early in the medical device product development process, we'll use rendering techniques to communicate design alternatives. A step up from simple line sketches, marker renderings add a bit more dimension and substance, and also allow color to be introduced. Marker renderings at this stage are still very loose and quick to do — which conserves project budget.
Computer-generated renderings will also be done, once a digital solid model of the design has been developed. Renderings from such models can be extremely photorealistic and can be used to effectively communicate the design to executives and stakeholders.

Brian May: 'Queen Plans'
"Ah … I promised news of yesterday's Queen band meeting. Well, it was just Roger and Jim Beach and myself … we are a small cottage industry !! Our main agenda was the Freddie film … which, I'm happy to tell you, is on course. Much of our discussion was about contractual things … it's pretty complex …. and determining who is responsible for what. The pieces are all falling into place, though we are now on a slightly later schedule - filming is now scheduled to start in the Spring, with Sacha Baron Cohen playing Freddie. The film should be ready for release early in 2014. We did make some other plans, but they will have to stay under wraps for now. Being in Queen is – bizarrely – as full of surprising twists and turns as ever - 40 years since we first got together, and 20 years after losing Freddie. But of course Freddie is in so many ways very much alive. He must be wryly smiling somewhere !!!"

Principle of Photo-Catalytic Oxidation
Photocatalytic Oxidation (UV PCO TiO2) Studies
Chemistry scientists from the University of Colorado and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado conducted an experiment testing the effectiveness of photocatalytic oxidation against harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde and other known carcinogens). They found that destruction of these contaminates was nearly 100%.
Scientists working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy found that photocatalytic oxidation air purification may be beneficial for the large-scale treatment of air in occupied buildings, while conserving energy costs. This is due to the fact that this technology destroyed VOC chemicals at a significant rate, even at high air flow rates. Their study indicated that photocatalytic oxidation could provide as much VOC removal by itself as compared to the expensive process of introducing outdoor air into the indoor environment, drastically reducing the need to channel outdoor air inside.
In another study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, scientists found that photocatalytic oxidation converted more than 95% of harmful VOC chemicals to harmless carbon dioxide and water molecules.
See our ARTICLES web page for much more PCO information and links.
using a AHPCO Cell with catalytic molecules the scope of
effectiveness is widely broadened.
The Air Oasis uses an AHPCO Cell, (Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation technology). The cell consists of a special broad spectrum high intensity ultraviolet (UV) lamp. The improved UV lamp cell technology Air Oasis has achieved an astonishing 25,000 hour (3 year) life span instead of the usual 1 year. The UV light is targeted on a hydrated TiO2 metallic catalyst. With this catalyst the ozone created by the UV lamp is converted into friendly, safe and aggressive oxidizers that revert back to oxygen and hydrogen. The AHPCO Cell produces minimum ozone levels well below the amount considered safe by the EPA. AHPCO Cell technology has been successfully tested and approved to combat a variety of indoor air quality concerns. Note: Danger / Never look directly at the illuminated AHPCO Cell.
NASA Origins: Air Oasis has enhanced the original NASA PCO Technology developed for deep space missions to a superior propriety Advanced Hydrated PhotoCatalytic (AHPCO) nanotechnology. How TiO2 UV PCO Oxidation Works
How It Works: Without high-powered fans or thick filters, this non filtration system uses a lamp that destroys germs with UV light. That light is reflected with the AHPCO catalyst, which produces catalytic molecules, which then, in turn, seek out and destroy carbon-based molecules. This powerful small air purifier cleans the air quickly, efficiently, and without using too much energy. Air Oasis now has Bi-Polar® technology to further enhance the effectiveness of our countertop purifiers.
The Difference: Unlike an air purifier which circulates a portion of a room's indoor air and pushes it through a filter, Air Oasis's Surface and Air Sanitizers produce safe catalytic molecules that are blown throughout the room to sanitize both the air and surfaces 24/7/365. Are PCO Air Purifiers Better Than HEPA Filters?
The proprietary Air Oasis AHPCO catalyst is superior to any PCO catalyst currently on the market. The AHPCO catalyst contains six rare catalyst metals. Air Oasis' also incorporates nano size particles and special hydrating agents to increase the kinetic rate of reaction providing clean air fast! This breakthrough technology, originally developed by NASA, does not rely on filters and is virtually maintenance free. In fact, in many circumstances our AHPCO technology reduces contaminants more efficiently than a HEPA filter without the high cost of replacing filters on a regular basis.
Air Oasis developed a proprietary patent-pending five metal nano catalyst that is far superior to any cheap imitations on the market. Air Oasis UV lamps use a proprietary long life coating to more than double their life over the competition. Preliminary results from West Texas A&M University show huge reductions in formaldehyde and other VOCs. Rapid reductions in odors where also observed.
Cutting-Edge Technologies: In addition to using Bi-Polar® Ionization and an AHPCO catalyst, the Air Oasis Sanitizers also includes LongLife™ technology. Because of this specialty coating on our UVC lamps, the output of our lamps is far higher than the industry standard. Many lamps maintain 65% of their output at 9,000 hours, whereas ours will maintain up to 80% of their output at 16,000 hours.

Univ. of Richmond Stadium, Richmond, Va., 7 p.m. ET
The defending Open Cup champions face another difficult test in their aim toward a fourth Open Cup Final, traveling to southern Virginia to take on the side that dumped out D.C. United in the fourth round. For all of their rich Open Cup pedigree, the Fire have twice fallen to A-League sides on the road - but both of those were in their first match. This will be the second time the Kickers have faced an MLS team in the Open Cup quarterfinals - last time losing to D.C. United in 2001.
2004 OPEN CUP: The Kickers dumped out MLS neighbor D.C. United in the fourth round of the Open Cup on July 21, winning 2-1 at City Stadium in Richmond. McColm Cephas scored goals on either side of halftime before Nana Kuffour pulled a goal back on his United debut. ... Cephas pounced on a poor touch by a United defender before chipping 'keeper Nick Rimando for his first (33), then drove home a Joey Worthen cross first-time to double the lead in the 64th minute. The 19-year-old Kuffour headed home a Freddy Adu corner kick eight minutes from time but it wasn't enough. ... Here's Leigh Cowlishaw's team: Ronnie Pascale; Matt O'Toole, Tim Brown, Kevin Knight, Peter Luzak, Tony Williams; Richie Williams, Clyde Simms (Matt Delicate 72), McColm Cephas (Mike Burke 83), Joey Worthington; Kevin Jeffrey (Paul Lekics 61). ... ... The Kickers took extra time, but eventually disposed of PDL (fourth division) Cape Cod Crusaders in the third round thanks to a 94th-minute goal from former D.C. United forward David Hayes. ... The Kickers defeated the Virginia Beach Mariners 3-1 on aggregate in their A-League qualifying series, with a 1-1 draw in Richmond (Joey Worthen 69 - Jakob Fenger 43), before winning 2-0 at Virginia Beach (Jeffrey 12; Delicate 28).
U.S. OPEN CUP HISTORY: The 1995 U.S. Open Cup champions, this is the fifth time they've been in the competition since defeating the El Paso Patriots as a USISL team that year. In 1997, the Kickers hammered D3 Philadelphia Freedom 6-1 before losing 3-0 to the MetroStars. In 2000, the Kickers knocked off the Colorado Rapids 3-0 in the second round before falling 2-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes. ... The Kickers then reached the quarterfinals in 2001, beating D3 Reading Rage 7-2 (second round) and A-League Connecticut Wolves 2-1 (third round) before losing 2-1 to D.C. United. ... In 2002, the Kickers defeated PDL (fourth division) Raleigh CASL Elite 3-0 in the second round before falling 3-0 to the Columbus Crew.
2004 A-LEAGUE: The Kickers have moved into second place in the Eastern Conference of the A-League with 42 points from 23 matches, just one behind the Montréal Impact. They are riding a three-game winning streak after sweeping a difficult weekend set, defeating the Puerto Rico Islanders 3-2 at home on Friday, then winning 2-1 away to the Atlanta Silverbacks on Sunday. ... Against the Silverbacks, Kevin Jeffrey scored twice in the opening 22 minutes, the second on a penalty, to send the Kickers on their way. ... Here's the team Leigh Cowlishaw ran out: Ronnie Pascale; Kevin Knight, Peter Luzak, Chris Fox, Matt Delicate (Joseph Vidmar 58), Clyde Simms, Paul Lekics, Mike Burke (Tony Williams 54), Joey Worthen (David Hayes 34), Matthew Bobo, Kevin Jeffrey (McColm Cephas 46). ... Two nights earlier, goals in second-half stoppage time from Matthew Delicate and Rob Ukrop gave the Kickers the full three points at home. ... The Kickers have three of the top 12 point producers in the A-League: Delicate (19, seventh); Cephas (18, ninth) and Jeffrey (16, 12th).
The Chicago Fire began their charge for a fourth U.S. Open Cup in club history with a difficult 2-1 victory against the Columbus Crew in the fourth round on July 20 in Columbus, a Damani Ralph golden goal sending the 2002 champion out of the competition at the first hurdle for the second season running. ... Frankie Hejduk headed home a Chris Wingert cross to give the home side a 27th-minute lead, but Ralph pulled the Fire level from the penalty spot in the 66th minute after Duncan Oughton hacked down Andy Williams in the box. Then in extra-time of the fractious encounter, Edson Buddle was sent off in the 97th minute for a foul on Logan Pause, and nine minutes later Ralph sent the Fire through to the quarterfinals, nodding home a lofted Chris Armas free kick. ... Here's Dave Sarachan's team: Henry Ring, C.J. Brown, Jim Curtin, Denny Clanton, Logan Pause, Chris Armas, Nate Jaqua, Orlando Perez (Leonard Griffin 45), Andy Williams (Dipsy Selolwane 65), Damani Ralph, Justin Mapp (Kelly Gray 93+). ... The Fire won their third U.S. Open Cup in six tries last year, defeating the MetroStars 1-0 behind a Damani Ralph goal in the final at Giants Stadium. ... The Fire's run to the final began with a 4-1 away victory against Milwaukee Wave United (A-League) (Greg Howes 2 - Chris Armas 14, Ante Razov 34, Evan Whitfield 61, Dipsy Selolwane 80). Then in the quarterfinals, the Fire came back to claim a 2-1 victory at home against a 10-man Colorado Rapids (Beasley 44; own goal (Fraser) 53 - Spencer 11), before Chicago reached a third Open Cup final with a wild 3-2 semifinal victory at home against the Los Angeles Galaxy (DaMarcus Beasley 55, Damani Ralph 63, Ante Razov 69 - Alejandro Moreno 73, Arturo Torres 75). ... The Fire won the final in '98 thanks to the late golden goal from Frank Klopas ... The Fire also won the 2000 Open Cup, defeating Miami Fusion in the final thanks to an own goal two minutes from time. ... Chicago also reached the semifinals in 2001, losing on a golden goal to Los Angeles Galaxy. ... The Fire have been eliminated at the first hurdle twice, in 2002 by the A-League Milwaukee Rampage, and in 1999 to the Rochester Raging Rhinos.

My dentist's assistant wants some knitted 4"x6" scrubbies, made from Sugar 'n' Cream w/ nylon netting knit together.
I had my last dental appointment today, and she was asking about them again. I told her I had ordered 4 spools of 3" nylon netting and I am going to knit some scrubbies for myself and friends.
She wants to pay for them, and she said this prolly 3 times.
What would you charge for these 4x6 scrubbies? Each one won't take that much time, as you know, and the cost of netting and cotton won't be that much either.
Y'all know how much Sugar 'n' Cream cotton costs, and the nylon netting is 3" wide X 40 yds for $5.78 per spool after shipping costs. I don't know how many 4x6 scrubbies 40 yds will produce.Does someone else know?
Would you charge $3 for a set of two? (@$1.50)$10 for eight? (@$1.25)
What's your opinion? I know it's hard for knitters to assign a dollar value to knitted things because we don't pay for knitted things. We knit them "at cost" for our time and materials.
I know she personally wants 2 for sure. She has two 10-yr old scrubbies that her husband ruined when he used them for cleaning his butcher knives. Now they have holes! TEN YEARS! That is how she has babied her little scrubbies! She's lost without them.
Let me know what you think is fair. Actually I'd just give 'em to her, but I guess my time and the cost of materials are worth a bit.
I will knit more for her if she wants to give them as gifts for her adult female relatives and friends. That's why I was saying 8 for $10.
I think the prices you mentioned are fair. I would even mention the difference to her. I have purchased homemade stuff from friends and craft shows (small items like soap) and there is usually an individual price and a quanity price. Making the individual price actually for two is a nice little pair (and reasonable in price). Then a bulk price of $10 for 8 is offering a nice discount for buying more.
Your time, work, and consideration for doing this is certainly worth these prices.
Now I have to ask, Where did you find the netting?
I think that would be an incredible bargain~I am sure she would too. She obviously wants them pretty badly since she's asked for them several times.
I was thinking I would charge $2 each, or maybe 3 for $5. If I wanted them, I would still think that was very reasonable for a handmade scrubbie.
I am sure she'll be happy to pay whatever you charge! Good luck, I hope you post pics of the finished scrubbies! They sound very useful
I started a Yarn for "scrubbies"??? thread on Nov 25th...and one of our generous knitters found the netting sold by the spool! It eliminates the step of cutting the netting fabic/yardage into strips and tying them together! Aaargh on that!
Nylon Netting Spools. And some of the knitters have had experience with the seller, Linda...and they can vouch for her wonderful customer service practices. Their recommendation is what got me off my duff last night and to order the netting spools!
Take a peek through all the posts in that thread cuz a lot of knitters posted patterns and all kinds of good links for materials. I just happened to prefer the idea of the spool! Pre-cut and ready to knit! And no knots. If I had netting laying around, I would do it to use it up...but I don't.
Thanks jaxhill! Your comments make me feel more confident in giving her a price. I think I will call her at the dentist office when I get two scrubbies knit...and give her the price for 2, and the price for bulk...8 for $10.
Ya never know...I may get a scrubbie roll goin'!
But I won't be quoting any prices to anyone til I get an entire spool knit up...then I will know for sure how far 40 yards goes.It sounds like a lot...but it may not be afterall.

smallest-fitting skirt I've ever tried on from Ann Taylor. As I've mentioned previously, every single 00P skirt I own from Ann Taylor has been taken in at the waist and hips. The last skirt I bought was an improvement, but still sat loosely on my lower waist. This one? Perfect fit at the waist and hips. Shapely without being too snug. If I had to nitpick, I would take up the hem an inch or two on me, but I'm on the shorter end at 5 ft tall. So did this beautiful skirt come home with me?
No, because it's over $120 and there were no sales at all going on. The manager told me she didn't "foresee another 40% off full-priced items sale until probably November, because Fall items have been selling so well without that promo."
While at Ann Taylor, I also tried on the Lady Tweed Jacket in sz 00 Petite. This will fit better on someone half to one size up from me all around. The material also didn't resemble tweed to me at all - more like a thin wool jacket. I didn't like the closure of this coat with the hidden buttons.
Petite Wool Tricotine Jacket in a similar silhouette, but is 1 inch shorter in torso length.
There are two other items that I specifically went in to try on, but could not find. Later I came home and saw that they were online-exclusives. Bah! But I guess that's ok...both items are again, very pricey without sales.

Two questions occurred to me before and after attending Autodesk University last week in Las Vegas, after a personal hiatus of a few years. The "before" question: Does Autodesk do GIS anymore … or rather does it still consider itself as offering geospatial technology to its users? The "after" question: What the heck is this conference and what am I doing here? For a moment I thought I was at SXSW, a unique conference that mixes technology, thought leadership, music and film. More on that later.
The answer to the first question is "Yes," it's just that Autodesk doesn't tout it very much. This is unfortunate because as the senior industry marketing manager for civil engineering and AEC solutions, Terry Bennett, told me, all Autodesk products are geospatially enabled. Okay, I get that and Bentley Systems' solutions are, as well. Both CAD companies are focused on 3D and building information models (BIM) such that the software requires an absolute georeferencing system.
Let's face it: Bentley, Autodesk, Esri and Hexagon all recognize that the world wants 3D. Working in 3D requires new software tools that must accommodate an object's (e.g. building, road, wall, fire hydrant, manhole, etc.) awareness of its place on the Earth's surface. This is why you are hearing catch phrases like "geodesign" sprouting up. Plus, there must be better metadata and object attribution.
Here's an example that both Bentley and Autodesk are keen on demonstrating: clash detection. If you are designing a building, design elements such as pipes, doors, walls and the foundation must "know" their position relative to every other object. If someone designs a new structure for the building, such as the plumbing system, they will need to know if it interferes with the electrical wiring and also where it can connect to the main line sewer system. The designer must be made aware of any objects that interfere with the placement of the plumbing and it's expected that the software will send those alerts. In fact, Autodesk says its software will not only do clash detection but also clash "resolution," offering suggested repositioning of objects.
What tools do you use for true 3D and BIM? Autodesk has Revit; Bentley has Bentley Architecture (and other products, as well). Do they take more work? In talking with Mike DeLacey, president of Microdesk, an Autodesk partner with many years of GIS and AEC project work experience, there is more work on the front end to capture the design elements in a way that facilitates true BIM. But, the result of this preliminary work provides the project manager more information about the design and the implications for construction once that phase begins.
The bottom line is that BIM is no longer something that projects will leverage in the future. It is required as a means to support major infrastructure projects. One example of this is the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers' (USACE) requirement for contractors to supply models compliant with its BIM guidelines. Steve Hutsell, chief of the geospatial section, UASCE, Seattle District, and the BIM contract language lead says, "[We] do BIM in just about everything we do." The USACE expects you to use BIM. Contractors must submit models (such as barracks, dining facilities, etc.) in the format requested and be fully operable, compatible and editable with native BIM tools.
AU or SXSW?
Autodesk University featured sessions called "Innovation Forums" to focus on topics such as cloud computing, the "future of making stuff," designing things to tackle major world challenges like climate change and pollution, and capturing the collective ideas of innovators and entrepreneurs. This was not the AU I knew from a few years ago. In his keynote address, Carl Bass said, "As toolmakers, we see it as our job – in fact we see it as our obligation and promise to you – to develop tools that allow you to maximize your creativity, your imagination and your skills." And that's what these Innovation Forums were designed to do … encourage you to dream and make the impossible possible.
I was particularly intrigued by the session called, "The Future of Making Things." There was one particular discussion on taking simple sketches and sending them immediately to a 3D printer to get instantaneous visualization of the object. Iterating designs that you can touch are more possible today than in the past. Final drawings might even go immediately to fabrication. In short, the cycle time from idea to product development is being vastly compressed. So, this entire forum (and others, as well) gave attendees an opportunity to step back and "think," and not simply worry about which product was needed to satisfy project requirements. It was a refreshing change from what most conferences present.
I was left with the feeling that Autodesk wants to make this conference more about new ideas, new ways to utilize technology with the objective of encouraging geospatial professionals, architects and engineers to think boldly and innovate quickly.

Well I finally got to run something other than a honda w/ a fart can today. My friends dad has a silver 2003 350z w/ every option, including navigation system The car is absolutly gorgeous. I was hanging out at my friends house and i was about ready to go home. He was just getting ready to into town to his gf's house. We had been talking for a few days about how the wrx would match up against the z, i thought i would get him off the line and he would pass me in 3rd or so. So we decide we should run them...
He pulls out of the driveway and guns it, i follow. We end up finding a road in the country and do 3 races from a dig. I launch at about 4k on all of them, and pull 1 car or so in first, about 2 cars in second then i think i had about 3 cars in in 3rd? This confused both of us so we did the same thing 2 other times, and it was the same result. Is it more i just beat the driver than the car? He seemed to break the tires loose a little in first but not a whole lot...BTW i had another passenger with me and he was by himself.
Short: I beat a 03 z from a dig three times. Not sure if i beat the driver more than the car though
BTW: If anyone is looking for a 350z, his dad is selling it. Only 13k miles and it was babied,believe me. Never drove in the winter and its fully loaded. Never modded, he is selling it b/c they bought another house PM me
