Trump empire expands
Page Tools
Photo: Tina Fineberg
US real-estate mogul Donald Trump's empire keeps on expanding, but his newest addition is on the home front.
The 59-year-old billionaire developer's wife, Melania Knauss, is pregnant, said Trump spokeswoman Norma Foerderer, confirming media reports.
"The baby is due in the spring," said Foerderer, adding that the child's gender was not yet known.
It would be the first child for the model and commercial actress, who lived with Trump for three years before they exchanged vows in January.
Knauss, 35, is Trump's third wife. He has four other children from his previous marriages: Donald jnr, 27, Ivanka, 23, and Eric, 21, with first wife Ivana Trump, and Tiffany, 11, with second wife Marla Maples.
Trump and his Slovenian-born bride were married in January in a lavish ceremony at Trump's newly unveiled $US42 million ($55 million) Versailles-inspired ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Neil1138's Interior Project, tis gonna be fun
Well I haven't had the sport seats long but we all know black seats are wayy out of place in a tan interior. I thought about just going the simple route and dyeing the black seats tan but where is the fun in that? Though tan interiors are damn sexy done the right way, it is time for a change. People have had good experiences with dyeing interiors so I'm going to give it a shot
Sourcing black interior parts: I have so many parts on order but these are the ones I found at the junkyard. Got them all for $150 total
black dash
ewww needs a good wash
Just little pieces here and there
I still need to find/order headliner pieces and some little black pieces here and there. Not in a rush though... This is my current interior, just put the wheel on the other day. omg
And yeah...
Some of you guys thought I would be doing imola red but apparently doing a color change to imola is near impossible to do. They explained to me how red dye isn't as strong of a dye as it used to be and how it would never turn out well because imola is just straight weak red dye, nothing else. But they said cinnamon would work because it was a potent dye with whites, yellows, reds and oranges in the dye. So I ordered 48 oz of cinnamon... this is gonna be tons of prep work, lol
I will be dyeing the front seats, rear seats and all of the door panels cinnamon. It will be done in the coming weeks so subscribe! Just wanted to shout out to Alec for helping me out with questions, I really appreciate your patience. This thread will be T3 death once I'm done, just sayin. I liek my pics
Cheers guys
EDIT: I didn't think I'd have to deal with this again but if you guys like this thread, rate it accordingly. Some people go around and just give my threads 1 star ratings for no reason and it's kinda lame. I know it's not a big deal but hey, threads like these don't come along often so if you want, a proper rating would be really cool

Ryan Doumit homered from both sides of the plate and drove in four runs to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 7-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Doumit became the third Twins player to go deep both right-handed and left-handed in a game. The others were Chili Davis (1992) and Roy Smalley (1986). Doumit homered to lead off the second inning swinging left-handed. He opened the sixth with his ninth home run, batting right-handed against reliever Tim Collins. It was Doumit's sixth career multihomer game, the second this season. Hitting .354 in his past 26 games, Doumit also had a two-run single with two outs in a four-run third to match his career high for RBIs. Samuel Deduno (1-0), who made six relief appearances the past two years with San Diego and Colorado, picked up his first big league victory. He limited the Royals to one run and six singles over 6 1-3 innings. Lorenzo Cain's sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Mike Moustakas with the only run off Deduno, who was m...

191/256. Congenital cutis laxa with ligamentous laxity and delayed development, Dandy-Walker malformation and minor heart and osseous defects.We present a female infant exhibiting congenital cutis laxa with retardation of growth and motor development, ligamentous laxity and congenital dislocation of the hips. This connective tissue disorder was associated with Dandy-Walker malformation, atrial and ventricular defect and minor bone abnormalities including multiple wormian bones, abnormal tubulation of long bones and absent twelfth pair of ribs. This association is believed to be unique. ( info)
192/256. A case of Marden-Walker syndrome with Dandy-Walker malformation.A 5-month-old girl with Marden-Walker syndrome is presented. This is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome. So far, approximately 20 cases have been described in the literature. The patient was hospitalized because of difficulty in feeding and slow spontaneous movements. Her parents were first cousins. She was diagnosed with clinical findings of growth and motor retardation, typical facial appearance, congenital heart disease, arachnodactyly, joint contractures, and a Dandy-Walker malformation on magnetic resonance imaging. ( info)
193/256. Localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of cerebral abnormalities in children with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome.Morphologic and metabolic abnormalities in six children aged 2-9 years with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein (CDG) syndrome were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). In all patients, MRI revealed pronounced cerebellar atrophy. Follow-up examinations in two patients suggested early onset and rapid progression in the first years of life. Further pathologies comprised Dandy-Walker malformation, atrophy of the pons, brain stem and olives, supratentorial frontotemporal cortical atrophy, slightly dilated ventricles and a small corpus callosum. Two patients presented with small cysts in the white matter. The prominent metabolic abnormality detected by proton MRS in five patients was a reduction in N-acetylaspartate in white matter by more than 20%, indicating loss of vital neuroaxonal tissue. Further findings in white matter were glutamine and gamma-aminobutyrate increases by a factor of 2. One patient with type III CDG syndrome showed the most severe alterations of metabolite concentrations. ( info)
194/256. Dandy-Walker malformation in a fetus with pentasomy X (49,XXXXX) prenatally diagnosed by fluorescence in situ hybridization technique.We present the case of a pentasomy X (49,XXXXX) prenatally diagnosed. The fluorescent in situ hybridization technique assisted in making the diagnosis. The problems identified in this fetus include a Dandy-Walker malformation, hydrocephaly, ventricular septal defect, hypertelorism and polyhydramnios. ( info)
195/256. Enlarging subependymal cyst: case report.A 1-month-old infant with a Dandy-Walker malformation underwent the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to treat progressive hydrocephalus. On the initial computed tomographic scan, a subependymal cystic lesion larger than 1 cm in diameter was noted in the head of the right caudate nucleus, which enlarged to 3 cm in diameter on follow-up imaging studies over the course of a year. Biopsies taken at the time of fenestration failed to show the presence of neoplasia. This appears to be the first reported case of a cyst of this nature to show progressive enlargement. ( info)
196/256. Agenesis of the corpus callosum and Dandy-Walker malformation associated with hemimegalencephaly in the sebaceous nevus syndrome.The sebaceous nevus syndrome is sometimes associated with hemimegalencephaly and a group of related abnormalities including ipsilateral gyral malformation, mental retardation, seizures, especially infantile spasms, and facial hemihypertrophy. This combination has been described as the "neurological variant of epidermal nevus syndrome." Other brain malformations have been reported only rarely. We report on a child with a subtle sebaceous nevus associated with hemimegalencephaly who also had agenesis of the corpus callosum and Dandy-Walker malformation. ( info)
197/256. prenatal diagnosis of Dandy-Walker malformation: report of a case.Dandy-Walker malformation is one of the major causes of congenital hydrocephalus. We report on a case that was diagnosed by sonography in a fetus at 34 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis was confirmed by postnatal computed tomographic (CT) brain scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The prenatal sonographic findings were a large posterior fossa in communication with the fourth ventricle, a small and splayed cerebellar hemisphere and marked degrees of ventriculomegaly. The postnatal CT scan images were similar to the prenatal sonography. The hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and the associated hypogenesis of the corpus callosum can only be clearly delineated by MRI. Dandy-Walker malformation is one form of the Dandy-Walker complex and cystic malformations of the posterior fossa. It should be differentiated from Dandy-Walker variant, or mega-cisterna magna, and arachnoid cyst. Dandy-Walker complex may be associated with chromosomal, intracranial and extracranial abnormalities. Early in utero detection is useful for detailed evaluation of associated anomalies. Obstetric management depends on gestational age, karyotype abnormality and associated intracranial and extracranial anomalies. In the present report, the infant presented no progressive ventriculomegaly and no surgery was required. The infant developed normally. ( info)
198/256. microphthalmos, facial capillary hemangioma and Dandy-Walker malformation.We present a 6-month-old girl with the unusual combination of microphthalmos, facial capillary hemangioma and Dandy-Walker malformation. This is the fourth case with such an association reported in the literature. On the basis of the experience with our patient and with those previously reported, we stress the importance of performing brain-imaging studies on all infants with large facial hemangiomas, or if unusual ophthalmic findings are present. ( info)
199/256. Dandy-Walker malformation in the Meckel syndrome.The Meckel syndrome (MS) is an autosomal recessive disorder classically defined by the triad of occipital encephalocele, multicystic kidneys, and polydactyly. Here we describe 3 sibs with varying manifestations of MS. The propositus had isolated cystic renal disease. The other sibs were both prenatally diagnosed with renal disease, polydactyly, and the Dandy-Walker malformation, an unusual central nervous system defect in MS. These findings are discussed in the context of the phenotypic expression of MS and the nosology of this disorder and the cerebro-reno-digital (Meckel-like) syndromes. ( info)
200/256. Interstitial deletion of 8q21-->22 associated with minor anomalies, congenital heart defect, and Dandy-Walker variant.We describe an infant with a deletion of 8q21-->22 who had distinct clinical manifestations including minor facial anomalies, a congenital heart defect, a Dandy-Walker variant, and mild to moderate developmental delay. Her facial characteristics included small, wide-spaced eyes, asymmetric bilateral epicanthal folds, a broad nasal bridge, a "carp-shaped" mouth, micrognathia, and prominent, apparently low-set ears. Three other reports describe children with larger proximal deletions of 8q that include 8q21 and q22. These four children all have similar facial appearance. Of the others reported, one had a congenital heart defect and one had craniosynostosis. This case, in addition to the previously noted three cases, helps in delineating a recognizable syndrome.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a new renter as of march 1,2013. I now require they pay utilities. Previous to that I had the utilities in my name and included them in the rent. Unfortunately the previous renter passed away in jan,2013 and owed me some money. I live upstairs. I just received a disconnect notice for my utilities at my address.(which is paid in full). They said they can turn off my lights because of a different address that I didn't live at and never lived at.
I am not a Wisconsin attorney, so please don't consider this to be legal advice.
Under the rules of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC), it looks like your electric utility has the right to transfer the account balance from your rental property to your home account, as long as certain procedures are followed. PSC rule 113.0301(7) states:
(a) Account arrears incurred by an owner or property manager for rental residential dwelling units ... may be transferred, without regard to class of service, to the home or office account of the owner or property manager.
(b) The utility shall send written notice of the planned transfer of the account arrears ... to the owner or property manager prior to making the transfer.
(c) If the account arrears remain unpaid ..., the utility may disconnect the owner's or property manager's residence or office service, provided that the utility complies with the disconnection provisions of ss. PSC 113.0301 and 113.0304.
(d) An owner or property manager whose account is subject to disconnection action may avoid disconnection of service by making payment, by making an agreement with the utility for an extension of time for a specific period, [or] by entering into a deferred payment agreement under s. PSC 113.0404 ... . Any disconnection shall be in compliance with ss. PSC 113.0301 and 113.0304.
So, if the utility gave you notice that it was going to transfer the account balance to your home account, then they acted properly. To avoid disconnection, you either need to pay the amount owed or you need to enter into a payment agreement with the utility to pay the amount over a period of time you and the utility agree to.
If you don't think the utility is acting reasonably, you should contact the PSC's consumer complaints group:Ask a similar question

Michael Lyons (BBC chairman)
Sir Michael Thomas Lyons (born 15 September 1949), is the non-executive chairman of the English Cities Fund and Participle Ltd; he is a former Chairman of the BBC Trust.
He is a former Labour Party councillor and council chief executive in the United Kingdom, who has also been involved in some of the key central government commissions and reports into local government finance from 2000 to 2007.[1]
Michael Lyons was educated at Stratford Grammar School (London), Middlesex University, and at Queen Mary & Westfield College, University of London. Whilst completing his formal education, he worked for two years as a part-time street trader at Bell St Market, London.[2] Lyons then worked as a lecturer in economics at Wallbrook College, London, and the University of Nottingham.
Lyons worked in the public sector as an economist, and between 1980 and 1983 served as an elected Labour councillor on Birmingham City Council.[3] He then became Chief Executive of three significant local authorities: Wolverhampton Borough Council (1985–90); Nottinghamshire County Council (1990–94); and then Birmingham City Council (1994–2001). Lyons was knighted in January 2000 in recognition of his services to Local Government.[citation needed]
During 2004 he was the chairman of two successful government projects: "Review of Public Sector Relocation" on behalf of the Chancellor and Prime Minister, and "Corporate Governance Commission" on behalf of Cardiff City Council. He was Deputy Chairman of the Audit Commission for two years until October 2006, serving for a while as Acting chairman. In March 2007 he published his final report and recommendations from his three-year independent Inquiry into the future role, function and funding of local government.[3]
Lyons was the Head of Inlogov, the leading Local Government Public Policy school in the United Kingdom at Birmingham University from 2001 to 2006, and was awarded an honorary LL.D by Birmingham University in 2009.[4] He holds an Honorary Doctorate from Middlesex University.
Lyons is also a governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company[5] and a non-executive director of Mouchel,[6] Wragge & Co solicitors and SQW Group Ltd.[7] Lyons is a former chairman of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and former member of the boards of City Pride, Birmingham Marketing Partnership and Millennium Point Property Trust Company. He was previously a director of Central Independent Television, until 1993.[7]
He was knighted in January 2000 for Services to Local Government. [8]
BBC chairman[edit]
On 1 May 2007, Lyons became Chairman of the BBC Trust, which also carries the title BBC chairman. He was appointed to the position after Michael Grade left the BBC to become Executive Chairman of rival broadcaster ITV. On 3 August 2007 a House of Lords all-party select committee criticised the way the appointment was handled, saying government ministers had too much influence over his appointment. Lyons dismissed the allegations, pledging "absolute independence and impartiality".[9]
On 14 September 2010 Lyons announced he had written to Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, to explain that he would serve for only one four-year term and would not seek reappointment in May 2011. He cited a growing workload for the part-time role had made him anxious which in turn had been "crowding out" other demands on his own time.[10] He was succeeded in May 2011 by Lord Patten of Barnes.
Lyons is married and has three children[1] and lives in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.

Further study details as provided by Dr. WJW Bos, St. Antonius Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Hospital admission (= day 1 = timepoint at which patient presents in hospital) until hospital discharge; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week. ]Discharge date will be the date on which the patient is clinically ready to be discharged (which means days of hospital stay on basis of social indication will be excluded from analyses). Median length of stay in an earlier CAP study performed in the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein was 6.5 days, thus patients will be followed during an expected average of 1 week.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Mortality [ Time Frame: day 30 ]30 days after hospital admission (=day 1) the patient will visit the hospital for a out-patient visit. At that time, patient's status will be recorded.
- ICU admission [ Time Frame: hospital admission (=day 1) until hospital discharge; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week. ]In the period the patient is admitted to the hospital, admission to the intensive care unit will be recorded (yes/no and specific date).
Other Outcome Measures:
- Mortality [ Time Frame: Day 365 ]One year after admission patient's status will be recorded.
- S. pneumoniae prevalence [ Time Frame: Hospital admission (= day 1) ]To study the prevalence of different S. pneumoniae serotypes in The Netherlands (based on the serotype distribution of isolated strains as well as the increase of serotype specific antibodies). Serotyping will be performed in a bloodsample taken on the day of admission.
- Renal damage [ Time Frame: Admission (=day 1) and day 30 (outpatient visist) ]To study acute renal damage, and its effect on outcome, in patients with CAP. A urine sample will be taken on the day of admission, on day 4 and on the outpatient visit at day 30.
- Cost-effectiveness [ Time Frame: Hospital discharge; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week. ]To study the cost-effectiveness of dexamethasone and outcome of CAP. Resource utilization will be acquired for the entire period of hospital stay for each individual patient.
- Post-infectious fatigue [ Time Frame: Day 30 and day 90 ]To study post-infectious fatigue that occurs in certain patients after a CAP episode. On day 1, day 4, day of discharge, and 30 and 90 days after admission, the patient will be asked to fill in the EQ-5D questionnaire. Furthermore, on day 4, 30 and 90 days after admission, the patient will be asked to fill in the RAND-36 questionnaire.
- Pathogenesis of CAP at respiratory mucosa [ Time Frame: Day of admission (=day 1) and day 30 (outpatient visit) ]To study the pathogenesis of CAP at the respiratory mucosa (this will be done in two of the four study centra). At the day of hospital admission a nasopharyngeal swab will be taken to determine aetiology of the respiratory mucose. 30 days after admission (during the outpatient visit) another nasopharyngeal swab will be taken to explore changes.
- Predefined subgroup analysis of length of stay [ Time Frame: Hospital discharge; participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week. ]
To study what patients admitted with CAP benefit most from dexamethasone therapy, based on predefined subgroup analysis with:
- disease severity score (PSI 1-3 vs. PSI 4-5);
- C-reactive protein level at admission;
- causative microorganism (Pneumococcus urinary antigen test positive vs. negative);
- cytokine response (IL-6 and IL-10) over time;
- cortisol level over time;
- procalcitonin over time;
- vitamin D level on admission.

|Study Start Date:
|December 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2018
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|May 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Active Comparator: Dexamethasone
Drug: Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone tablet 6 mg, once daily for four consecutive days
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo tablet, once daily for four consecutive days
Drug: Placebo
Placebo tablet, once daily for four consecutive days
Detailed Description:
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infection. Approximately 20 percent of all episodes of pneumonia result in hospitalization. It is the leading cause of community-acquired infection requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In pulmonary infections, the release of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators from alveolar macrophages serves as a mechanism by which invading pathogens are eliminated. However, this reaction of the innate immune system can be potentially harmful when excessive release of circulating inflammatory cytokines causes damage to the patient, particularly the lung. Interest in the role of corticosteroids in the pathophysiology of critical illness has existed since the early part of the 20th century. On ICU, early treatment with corticosteroids to attenuate systemic inflammation is widespread. At the same time, outside the ICU little evidence is available on the effect of treatment with corticosteroids in patients diagnosed with CAP. Theoretically, early initiated administration of corticosteroids in the course of a CAP can lower systemic and pulmonary inflammation. This may lead to earlier resolution of pneumonia and a reduction of complications (sepsis, mortality).

Water Slide For Summer5 January 2008
I bought the kids an inflatable water slide for Christmas.
Nothing too fancy. It sprays water and it has a little pool bit at the end.
Add a bit of detergent and it is seriously THE BEST summer toy for little kids ever.
This model doesn't seem to be stocked at Amazon, but there are heaps of other designs.


text: The Original is where it all started, so what better way to kick off Rich-N-Tone's 40th celebration by introducing this call. They have replicated the exact shape and tone board of this super-sexy-swinging-seventies call! The only enhancement they made to this call was enlarging the bore to give it a little more modern volume that is found in todays calls. The longer barrel, earlier tone board design, mixed with the larger bore produces an eclectic mix of old school vintage deep raspy duck sound, whiney soft bottom, with a thick heavy high ball on top (not todays high pitch ring). Make no mistake about it, this retro wonder is a player in any decade! A perfect mash up between vintage design and classic modern calling practices. Rich-N-Tone has adorned this jewel with a brass band and their elegantly designed throwback 40th "Flying Duck Trademark" logo decal.

Del Mar: Amazombie fresh for Bing Crosby Stakes
DEL MAR, Calif. – In the nearly three months since Amazombie finished second to Shackleford in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes on May 5, the performance has increased in stature.
Shackleford went on to win the Grade 1 Metropolitan Mile Handicap at Belmont Park in late May and should have a major role in one-turn races in coming months.
Amazombie had a springtime vacation, one that trainer and co-owner Bill Spawr insists has been a benefit. Amazombie's rest comes to an end Sunday in the $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar. The Grade 1 Bing Crosby is a vital race in Amazombie's season, one that Spawr and co-owner Tom Sanford hope will end in the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita on Nov. 3.
Last fall, Amazombie won the BC Sprint at Churchill Downs, a victory that led to him being named the champion sprinter of 2011.
Amazombie has every chance to win that title again this year. But this year's sprint title could also go to The Factor, a five-time stakes winner who is Amazombie's main rival in the Bing Crosby, which is run over six furlongs.
[Complete coverage of racing at Del Mar: News, PPs, and video]
Spawr said that Amazombie has thrived during his recent break. When jockey Mike Smith worked Amazombie a half-mile in 47 seconds Thursday, the Hall of Fame rider noticed a difference.
"Mike said he was stronger and more eager than before," Spawr said. "I think the time off has helped. We won't have any excuses."
A winner of 11 of 26 starts and $1,725,378, Amazombie has started three times this year. In addition to the seven-furlong Churchill Downs, he was third behind The Factor in the Grade 2 San Carlos Stakes over seven furlongs at Santa Anita on Feb. 25 and won the Grade 2 Potrero Grande Stakes there over 6 1/2 furlongs April 7.
Third in the 2011 Bing Crosby, Sunday's race will be Amazombie's first start over six furlongs since the BC Sprint.
There are only five entrants in the Bing Crosby. Amazombie drew the rail, with the speedy Comma to the Top to his outside. Don Tito, who won an optional claimer at Betfair Hollywood Park on July 8, is in the middle of the field, inside of two runners trained by Bob Baffert – The Factor and Capital Account.
The Factor has the speed to take the lead, while Capital Account is best as a stalker. A 5-year-old horse, Capital Account is making his stakes debut in the Bing Crosby.
Spawr has a slight concern about Amazombie's rail draw and the pace scenario. He would prefer that the 6-year-old Amazombie be a few lengths off the pace for the first half of the race and not too close to the front.
In the Churchill Downs Stakes, Amazombie was always near the front, led in the stretch, and was beaten a length.
"I hope we don't have to do that," Spawr said.
"We drew the rail, and that's compromising, but there are only five horses. For him and his style, it won't be as big of an issue as if there were 10 horses and he would get shuffled back."
The Factor is winless in two starts since the San Carlos, a disappointing sixth in the $2 million Golden Shaheen Sprint in Dubai in March and a second, as the 9-10 favorite, in the Grade 1 Triple Bend Handicap at Hollywood Park on June 30.
"He got tired," Baffert said. "He was a little short. The track was demanding, and he ran as hard as he could.
Baffert expects a better performance Sunday.
"He's got no excuses," he said. "He's doing as well as he can do. He needs to get it done."
Funny, isn't O'Neil suspended?
Garcia on the Factor good choice but I wish Talamo has a chance
If anyone has ever followedthe true story that ( Split ) Baffert / Garcia apart : I am so surprised to see them ( Reunite ) period : of all colts , The Factor ! I have looked and looked for this story to be told before Sunday - as the Media normally Sits n Spins on these type of Hed-lnes . But it has been kept very quiet . So , IF I had the mind-set : What-ever money I brought to the track - I would wait for this race and put it all to WIN on ( 4 The Factor ) ! Then - Go all out on the 10th race with O'Neills ( 8 Pink Blanket ) ..................... This was a quiet a story between Jockey / Trainer / Agent / Relationship !
The Factor / M Garcia : who would have ever thought Baffert would give in to Garcia to ride again for his stable hummmmmm Garcia best not blow this one , thats for sure ! Actually , the race that looks the most Eye - Catching is in the 10th race ! There has been alot of Hype reguarding this filly of O'Neill ( 8 Pink Blanket ) . Just to the point that O'Neill happens to love were this filly is spotted Sunday . This filly ougt to be " Long Gone " once the gate opens . If everything seems true - then odds of 3 - 1 ought to be a gift ! And just hope that Longshots come into the mix for a nifty pay-off .
Comma will keep The Factor entertained early, so we'll have a legit race. The Factor, though, caught a break drawing outside of Comma. That's key. If The Factor was to the inside and would have had to deal with Comma lapped on him, I would say The Factor is a bad bet. But on the outside, I can see The Factor winning even if Comma really pushes him early. One other speed horse or an inside draw for The Factor, and I would've given the advantage to Amazombie.
its going to be a Barn burner

Stone Walls 石垣
Ishigaki are one of the most impressive features of any castle. The skill it took to make them from cutting and collecting the stones to actually building the walls in a myriad of shapes, terrains, and locations, is truly remarkable. The fact that there are still so many stone walls remaining after hundreds of years attests to the skill of their builders too. You can even read the history of a castle from its ishigaki. The type of stone tells you where it came from, markings on the stones tell you who it was cut or gathered for, and the method of building the walls can also tell you in what period they were constructed or by whom. Even in the same castle, you may see walls constructed with different methods indicating who built them and when. You can also find unique stories buried in the stone walls at many castles like the old woman who donated her grinding stone or Buddhist statues that were procured from temples to fill in the walls.
Below is a description of the main styles and types of stone walls. There are also a few sub-categories and rare types not discussed here that I may put together for a future page.
Basic StructureThe pictures below are from a display at Kanazawa Castle that show how the stone walls are constructed. You can see that the stones are much longer and larger than they appear from the outside. Smaller stones are filled in between the larger stones to stabilize them. Extra stones are backfilled behind them for drainage to help prevent erosion and smaller stones are also filled into the spaces in the front to stabilize the larger stones. Note that there is no mortar used. This allows the stone walls to have some flexibility which is what has helped them to survive for hundreds of years in earthquake prone Japan.
StyleThe style of wall indicates the pattern of how the stones are arranged. These two patterns below are used with all of the different types explained in the next section.
Ranzumi (乱積)The stones used are of various sizes so that there is no particular pattern to the face of the stone wall.
|Kofu Castle
|Edo Castle
Nunozumi (布積)Most of the stones are roughly the same size so that they line up across the face of the wall.
|Kanazawa Castle
|Iyo Matsuyama Castle
TypesStone walls can be categorized by how much the stones are processed to fit together in the wall. Walls that use unprocessed stones tend to be older, while walls that make use of more highly shaped stones are newer making use of newer techniques and tools.
Nozurazumi (野面積)These walls use unshaped stones. They are either stones that were used in their natural shape or were split without any further shaping. This type of wall is comparatively weak and high walls cannot be built. It also provides many footholds and handholds making it relatively easy for attackers to climb.
|Kofu Castle
|Komoro Castle
|Maruoka Castle
Uchikomihagi (打込ハギ)The stones are pounded tightly into place and the corners and rough edges are smoothed some to help them fit together better. The face of the stone is also chipped away to make it more flat. The remaining holes are filled with smaller stones to tightly fill the gaps. This makes a stronger wall than Nozurazumi and these walls can be built higher.
|Edo Castle
|Kanazawa Castle
|Ueda Castle
|Yamagata Castle
Kirikomihagi (切込ハギ)In this type of wall, all the stones are heavily processed and shaped to fit exactly with the surrounding stones. There are almost no holes or empty spaces and no smaller uncut stones filling the spaces between stones. Since water cannot seep out through the spaces they often needed to build in some holes for drainage.

My Threat Intelligence Can Beat Up Your Threat Intelligence
Posted by Rick Holland on May 22, 2012
- 672 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Have you ever been in a vendor meeting and heard the vendor extol the greatness of their threat intelligence? You may have even seen a slide that looks similar to this:
The vendor probably proceeded to highlight the key differentiators that make their threat intelligence network stand second to none. Bullets containing statistics like this surely followed:
- Global coverage, in well over 100 countries
- 50 million network devices
- 50 billion web queries each month
- 30 billion emails a month
- 100 million users
I have been in countless meetings and presentations where this exact scenario has occurred and I get déjà vu every time I hear it. In fact, if you simply swap out the vendor logo you could almost use the same slide deck. Threat intelligence networks are like opinions, everybody has one. Vendors are often surprised when I tell them that their threat intelligence networks aren't that unique. Vendors collect data from their offerings. Vendors like Cisco or Juniper leverage their networks offerings, players like McAfee or Symantec leverage diverse security portfolios, content delivery companies like Akamai leverage their content delivery networks, and so on; you get the idea. Am I saying there isn't value in these threat intelligence networks? Absolutely not; my position is that the vendors aren't deriving actionable intelligence that is significantly different from the competition and there is considerable overlap in what is being observed. The vendors are looking at the same malicious activities from slightly different perspectives. Vendor threat intelligence networks are commoditized.
After I explain my position to the vendor who has just attempted to marvel me with their threat intelligence network capabilities I like to dig deeper and focus on the research that accompanies the threat intelligence network.
- How have you specifically leveraged threat intelligence in your offerings?
- What are specific examples of threats that you have provided proactive protection for?
- What % of overall revenue is dedicated to threat intelligence/research?
- How many employees (nonoperations) make up your threat intelligence/research team?
- What languages do you support?
- What periodic research do you publish?
- How many advisories have you published?
Dear vendor product marketing and sales teams, please understand that your threat intelligence is helpful and we expect that you have it, but it isn't terribly different from your closest competitors. The real story on threat intelligence is your organization's ability to develop your own, but I will save that for the future.

New Shed Gambrel Help
Hello, I was wondering if I can get some assistance with my roof design.
I'm in the process of building a 12x16 shed. I have Googled everything from day one on this project and I'm almost Googly eyed from so much information and a variety of information and even misinformation.
I have all the walls up (2x4x8 16" center)and I have 2x6x12 16" center across the 12' span and attached them using only hurricane clips.(Not sure if i still need to toe nail them in on top of the wall)
My next step is to lay down my 1/2" Plywood on top of those joists and then start attaching my gambrel roof.....but I haven't figured out my gambrel roof style/dimensions yet.
I decided to go with a gambrel roof so I can have some storage space for the little guys toys, seasonal stuff, etc. I don't intend on having it as a play area or anything such. I live up in northern Canada. And we get alot of snow....alot. According to the roofing charts here it can be up to 52.5 LBS PSF. http://www.hsh.k12.nf.ca/technology/...le27/index.htm
I know gambrel roofs are hexagon and inside a cirlce and each cut is 22.5 degrees and adds up to 180 degrees....etc(thank you google)
But, I want to know if 2x4 is going to be strong enough with just 1/2" plywood gussets on each side where they join. And I don't want to go 6 ft high. It's said the height is half with width which is 12' in my case. And I don't want too flat of a roof due to the snow load.
I'm going for this exact style of framing.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/tools025.jpg/ and attaching them to the 2x6x12 joists resting on top of the walls like in this photo http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/12x24loft.jpg/
I just need advise on the dimensions of the gable/angles etc.
Sorry if it seems I over engineered everything, but I want to make sure it's not going to collapse and withstand our winters.
When I built my 12x8 Gambrel shed, I used:
1. 2x4 as my wall studs but used 2x6 for the rafters, 16" O.C.
2. 3/4" CDX plywood (not OSB) for added strength (that way I did not have to use h clips to support butt joints). It's my personal believe that plywood handles water better than OSB
3. A ridge board, instead of butting rafters against each other with a gusset plate, for (perceived) extra stability
As far as the roofing height is concerned, make sure you stay compliant with your local zoning/building codes.
BTW, what is the height from the floor to your ceiling joists?
There are couple of photos at the end of this thread (http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/shed-...needed-156857/)
Good luck!

Detroit billboards give wrong election date
posted at 9:08 am on August 13, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Sometimes, nothing goes right:
Billboards advertising the city's upcoming general election sent the wrong message to residents over the weekend.
Many of the 14 billboards gave a September date for the city's general election. The election actually is Nov. 5.
City Clerk Janice Winfrey said the billboards — 11 purchased by the city and three given as a bonus from International Outdoor, which manages the billboards — were updated Saturday with information about the city's general election.
Given what Detroit's elections have produced over the last few decades, perhaps this qualifies as a public-service announcement.

LETTER: How much did Burien spend on annexation?
Members of the Burien City Council:
Annexation of Area Y was rejected by their residents.
The city of Burien spent a considerable amount of money studying and promoting annexation, including hiring staff for this purpose.
In light of the current deficit spending and tax increases passed for the 2013 budget and in the service of accountability and transparency the residents have a right to know how their tax dollars have been spent.
On behalf of the residents I am requesting a tally of the tax money spent pursuing the annexation of Area Y.
Please direct the city manager to make public a cost analysis of what this failed venture cost the city of Burien.
Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

In 2009, the Minnesota Twins won the American League Central after adding pitchers Carl Pavano, Jon Rauch and Ron Mahay and shortstop Orlando Cabrera during the season.
This year, according to the Star-Tribune, the Twins are thinking about what they need and the list could include another starter, help in the bullpen and possibly a third baseman, including Mike Lowell of the Boston Red Sox.
The Star-Tribune said that the Twins, who lead the American League Central going into tonight's series opener at home vs. the Colorado Rockies, might have interest in Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt or lefty Cliff Lee, if the Seattle Mariners make him available.
And, the Twins could be looking for bullpen help for setup man Matt Guerrier, according to the Star-Tribune.

with the goldenrod honey which isn't so good to eat as what is probably there now.Just my thoughts. . .
I would just keep an eye on their food stores, and feed in the fall (or before) if needed. Are you monitoring for mites? I've never lost a hive from starvation, but I have lost hives from varroa infestations.
For the most part I have not found anyplace in the USA, including Alaska, that needs more than 2 deeps full of stores to overwinter.
by mid October or so i have done my last check
For the most part I have not found anyplace in the USA, including Alaska, that needs more than 2 deeps full of stores to overwinter. If bees die from starvation during the winter it is not from the cold itself but rather from either too long of a period of of cold that doesn't allow the bees to break cluster and bring stores back to it, or there was insufficient stores to begin with. The third most common cause of bee loss during the winter is moisture condensation where the moisture condenses and rains on the cluster and a quick following freeze kills the bees, ventilation cures this.I'm not saying bees can't die from lack of stores, even with more then 2 deeps, under severe conditions but that is the exception rather than the rule.As a prewinter check list you want the bees to have a good crop of winterized (october) brood, backfilled as much of the brood chamber as possible (maybe all but 10-15%) and beginning to build burr comb for additional stores. 2 10 frame deeps with stores and bees should be about 150 lbs. With properly ventilated hives your bees should make it through the winter. Smaller hives will have smaller clusters but can still be successfully overwintered using similar guidelines, just that the total weight of the combined hive will vary. a double stacked 5 frame nuc can be successfully overwintered and only weigh 50 lbs when backfilled, burr comb, proper ventilation, and late hatch bees are present.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Volume One isn't so much a bookstore as it is a big fat Valentine to South Florida bibliophiles. Walking into the store, which is slotted into a strip mall in West Broward, you're immediately surrounded by unruly stacks and cartons and shelves and leaning towers and skylines — of books. Literally, it's like walking into a maze built entirely of preloved literature. And it can be just as confusing getting around inside the cramped store, considering how well stocked the place is. But the real value in Volume One is that the quality on hand matches the quantity. You can walk into any used paperback slinger to pick up a well-thumbed edition of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a spine-cracked Life of Pi, or a shoebox of Agatha Christie titles. Volume One, however, is filled with as many gems as the sea floor after a pirate wreck. Looking for a first-edition hardcover of Albert Goldman's 1981 Elvis Presley biography? You'll find one here. A little-circulated collection of James Agee's prose? Check. Alma Guillermprieto's dispatches from Latin America, The Heart That Bleeds? It's on the shelves. The clerks at Barnes & Noble would just drill a confused look into your skull if you asked about any of these titles. That's why when your reading habits are off the bestseller list, Volume One is where it's at.
Some people are born with green thumbs. In David McLean's case, he was born with emerald hands. His garden — an Eden just south of downtown Fort Lauderdale — is brimming with all things tropical, lush, and fragrant. McLean is a master at growing what grows best in South Florida and is happy to share his knowledge during his popular "walk and talks" on the first Saturday of every month. Through the seasons, you'll find native tomatoes and blueberries, thornless blackberries, and Okinawa spinach for sale — all of which will thrive in your own garden with a little love (and some of McLean's advice). But if the last of your Everglades tomatoes dies in the swamp of summer, fear not. You can still get your fix at the 11th Street Annex, a restaurant literally surrounded by the garden that serves some of the edibles McLean grows. Talk about farm to table.
(After this item was printed, New Times learned that David McLean passed away June 5 at age 79. In lieu of sending flowers, please plant something native in his memory.)
Sure, you could send your kid to a normal camp, one of those sunny compounds with a Native American name that is ironically full of white Jewish kids. There, he'll shoot arrows, erect tents, get tick bites on all areas of his body, and do all that other typical camp stuff. What fun. But do you want your kid to be just like the others — some sunburnt little thing who knows how to fashion a weapon out of a flat rock and a blade of grass? Or do you want your kid to be different? Well, the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre specializes in different. While the rest of those smelly little terrors are busy building a fire out of their parents' antique furniture, your kid is going to be dancing, singing, and acting. Imagine it. Your own little Jean Valjean putting on one-man shows when the power goes out. For kids in grades 2 through 10, the FLCT's summer camp will teach all aspects of theater, from acting to stage design. And at the end of the program, campers put on a real live play with costumes, sets, and pizzazz for their families and friends. Send your kids to the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre. You owe it to your furniture.
For almost 30 years, Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale has been the home of FLIFF — the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. This monthlong fall festival is no slouch, playing films that are making their world premieres or have played only at Cannes; films that will go on to win Academy Awards and the fawning adulations of movie critics and film students. The rest of the year, Gregory von Hausch, president and CEO of FLIFF, and his team carefully curate the weekly offerings of films you won't find anywhere else in South Florida. Cinema Paradiso's home theater is tucked behind a parking garage on the south side of the New River — a spot you'd never find if you weren't looking for it. The former church was there long before most of the rest of modern downtown, and you just don't move out of a building that cool for any reason. But this year, the theater expanded to a second, more easily found location in downtown Hollywood. This new spot is located within walking distance of bars and restaurants. "It's close enough [to the original location] for us to manage and far enough to reach a new audience that wouldn't necessarily be willing to journey to Fort Lauderdale a couple of times a week," von Hausch says. "And Hollywood is kind of central to gain traffic from Dania and Miami. We do draw people from those areas for FLIFF, so we figured they would be interested." Though the second location is actually a little smaller, with 110 seats, better daytime parking allows for matinees and more screenings. With this second location, both FLIFF and Cinema Paradiso are sure to continuing growing, bringing brilliant independent film to a public overloaded with blockbusters.
There are plenty of hotels for well-heeled socialites armed with martinis and red-lipped smiles who are hunting for husband number two. But Lago Mar is designed for that well-heeled socialite after baby number two. Located just off the main A1A strip in Fort Lauderdale, the comfy hotel has the bay in its front yard and a private beach in its back. And though the accommodations may seem a bit mundane, the beach will play center stage for the Broadway-caliber play that is your Fort Laudy beach vacay. There are multiple pools where little children come to get wet and big kids can swim a few laps. Tipsy moms will drool over volleyball-playing musclemen; Grandma can try to live through one more vacation at the shuffleboard court; and hubbies will blow off some new-dad no-sex steam at the tennis courts. Probably the coolest thing about the family-friendly hotel is the Soda Shop downstairs. It'll give you a chance to gorge on pizza while your kids get high on ice cream, and Nana can talk about the old days buying soda at Woolworth's for a nickel. Lago Mar offers something you once thought impossible: a chill family trip.
Girls rule; boys drool. That's the sorry lesson to be learned in the water closets of Coastars, the coffee bar at the heart of Lake Worth's South J St., AKA Little Bushwick. Owners Chris Palacio and Liz Brach figured they had a crowd of young creative types on their hands and said, Hey! Let's leave pens and crayons in the restrooms and see what our young geniuses come up with. What could be bad? But their fond hopes came half-undone. The boys sank to the occasion, rock-bottom, Greyhound-latrine style, unleashing their inner yobbos in crude and filthy texts about body parts and fluids. The girls, however, rose to the occasion, poetically and philosophically. Their walls are even now festooned with instruction and mystery and wit: "Please be responsible for the energy you bring into a room," says the graffiti. "There's gold beneath the highway." "Now something so sad has hold of us that the breath leaves and we can't even cry." "The guy at the counter is cute." Visually, symbols and caricatures are smattered through the lettering for an intricate and sprawling rainbow mash to rival a Persian miniature. Will J Street's boys redeem themselves one day and put their restroom walls to better use? Maybe. But they'll have to bring their own crayons. Chris and Liz took theirs away and scrubbed the walls clean.

Strawberry Bluff cleanup
Photo submitted by Lauren Ray on 2/27/2012.
This group of 17 students and two faculty spent part of the day Sunday at Strawberry Bluff, picking up trash. The event, hosted by Planet Club and the Outbackers, resulted in over 20 lbs of trash being cleaned up from around the bluff. According to Lauren Ray, "The area looked absolutely dreadful when we got there, but it looks great now!" Added bonus? A lichenology lesson from Dr. Jeffries, a lesson on controlled burning from Dr. Van Scoy, and a picture perfect day to be outside!

Latina teen almost killed by her own dad beacuse of his ugly racist views
A Latino dad from Houston, Texas has been arrested and charged with injury to a child after basically beating the crap out of his 14-year-old daughter for the stupidest reason ever. Wait until you hear why this poor teen got the beat down of her life.
Read more ¿Qué más?: Horrible mother leaves kids in hot, unlocked car to get WHAT?!
The teen's father flipped out after he found out she wanted to dance with a black male friend at her upcoming quinceañera party. Can you believe this crap?
Aaron Aranza was pissed when he showed up to his suegra's house (his daughter's abuela) where she was practicing her quinceañera dance. Apparently what ticked him off was that she had chosen a 15-year-old African American boy as her dance partner. He found them dancing outside of the house in the front yard and immediately approached his daughter regarding her dance partner. "Are you serious?" he asked her angrily. And then pushed the 15-year-old boy saying, "I don't care that you are a kid."
After that, Aranza dragged his 14-year-old old daughter inside the house and hit her with a belt. He then tossed her, causing her to hit her arm on a coffee table. This fool even threatened to take her home to live with him, despite the fact that she legally lives with her mother. What is wrong with this moron?
Fortunately, he was later arrested by police and is being held in the Harris County jail with a $20,000 bail. But there's no taking back the traumatizing experience he put his poor daughter through. I'm absolutely disgusted by his racism and his ignorance. What kind of a-hole would even think to do something like that JUST because his daughter chose a black boy as her dance partner? It's just sad that people still think like this in 2014 and I'm embarrassed and disappointed that it had to be a Latino parent too!

How do you feel about this story?
From Our Amigos
How do you feel about this story?
Is never right to use such violence, and been racist is always wrong; the fact that it still happening in all cultures does not make it correct. If not instilled by adults, children will never learn to be racists because they will never know the about such awful and hateful behavior. And a quick observation, I did not read in the article that the teenagers were "dating" only that she has chosen him as her dance partner (not boyfriend or dating) for her Quinceanera.

Christmas alla Primavera
We have had a remarkable dry and warm December. On Christmas Day, it was 18C/62F. Di was busy roasting peperone (chiles) and making tortillas. She discovered that it is easy to roast them right on the stove top. We had very good quiet village Natale that seemed to be taking place in the spring!
A Kitchen Aid machine kneaded the dough in less than two minutes and a tortilla press also made it a lot easier.
The recipe calls for kneading the dough for 7 minutes but because the machine is from the USA, it doesn't work quite right even with a transformer and skips the slow speeds.
It's a little scary to watch! Boom boom, there you go...dough!
I stepped on the terrace to look at something and heard a woman singing "White Christmas" in English. So I followed the sounds up to the piazza where a lot of kids and parents were waiting for Babbo Natale (santa) to arrive. The funny thing was the recorded music playing was all American Christmas tunes in English. Not a single Italian tune.
Babbo arrived leading a donkey carrying gifts. As he and the donkey made it to the piazza in front of the church, the recorded music got louder and the church bells were peeling. The amazing donkey didn't flinch at all the noise.
It was a nice event that the children loved. Babbo and his "elf" handed simple gifts to the kids.
Auguri e buone feste. Best wishes and happy holidays.

Rembrandt Lighting
So, we were coming home from Scalea as the sun was setting and Diana tells me we must "go collect the Rembrandt Light"--I am thinking about Jimmy Rembrandt that I played racquetball with in college. No, it is about the lighting that the Dutch artist Rembrandt used in his paintings. I tried to joke about smoking a Dutchmasters cigar when I was young, but that didn't work.
Of course, when I took my good camera out to "collect the light" the clouds came in and screwed it up for that day and we had to wait for another sunny day. See if you like it too. Di helped me read up about how most landscape photographers wait for this light in the early morning or afternoon to light up the landscape the way Rembrandt lit up people's faces using golden light and shadow.
|Our village is beautiful any day, but I think Di's lighting is bello.

How do I find a wiki project to work on??
From Thread:Talk:OERu/Planning/OERu marketing communications and partner engagement/Video concept ideas/New parter: Feedback on Scene 1.0 - What is the OERu?
Hi Benjamin,
Can you explain how I find a wiki project to work on so I can update my home page and the next steps within it.
Many thanks,
