Wow I thought I went crazy and got on high alert for bunnehs but Sammie really gets into her hunting mode! We saw a bunneh on walkies last night and both of us tried to take off after it and our moms stopped us! We wanted so bad to go off-leash and track it! Mom said I get too focused and there's too much traffic and way too much danger so I could only pull on my leash and wag my tail and Sammie whined and puppy barked then we just gave up. It really IS totally NOT fair.
Mom's silly she thinks she can distract me from a bunny by saying things like "no bunny! that's an ugly kitteh!" BOL as if! Sometimes I believed her but then I catch its scent and I KNOW! I KNOW IT'S A BUNNEH!!! I am obsessed with bunnies!! I want to chase them! They give the BEST chases but I've only ever caught one and that's because all my cousins and brother were helping. Everyone's moms and dads were a bit upset though when we all came home covered in fur and blood and said it was a bit unfair that 6 dogs ran down one bunneh and was so fast the humans couldn't respond quick enough. So now I have the taste for the chase, I'm crazy when it comes to bunnehs!
Me and Monkey had a play date on Saturday and it was pawsome fun! We wrestled and chased the kitty and each other and it was a LOT of fun!! I miss my brother! He needs to visit more but he's been really busy with the new additions to his family, a step-sister Gaia and TWO kitties, Thor and Keno! I haven't met Gaia yet but I am supposed to at the park in the next couple weeks.
I hate to say it, but mom's probably right, I AM a bit smitten with Granite, a Shiba Inu that lives in our community. Monkey startled Granite's daddy so I didn't get to say hi. Monkey tends to be a bit more reactive than me and if you don't know him, you'd think he was Cujo. BOL!1

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - Japan is ready to move from being a pacifist player to a military power once again, according to a new public policy report published in Australia.
It recommends that Tokyo be encouraged to modernize its armed forces and become more active in maintaining regional security.
The report by the Lowy Institute, an independent foreign policy think tank, was released as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi moved towards extending Japan's modest but historical deployment of troops in Iraq.
Tokyo's contribution of 550 troops to the U.S.-led coalition was the country's first military mission to a theater of conflict since imperial Japan's defeat at the end of World War II led to the signing of a U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution.
Within the constraints of that constitution, Koizumi's government passed legislation permitting the "Self-Defense Forces" (SDF), as Japan's military is known, to be sent almost a year ago to a "non-combat zone" in Iraq.
The troops are stationed in the southern city of Samawah for humanitarian operations, and the area's security is the responsibility of a Dutch military contingent.
The one-year SDF mandate in Iraq expires on December 14, and the U.S. has indicated that it hopes for a renewal.
"I think that Japan has made a major international statement by having the SDF there," U.S. Ambassador in Tokyo Howard Baker told reporters on Monday. "I think they have performed humanitarian functions that are much admired. I think it would be a shame if that was not continued."
Koizumi is coming under pressure not to extend the mission from the Democratic Party (DPJ), the liberal official opposition which made significant gains in lower house of parliament elections a year ago and again in Senate elections last July.
On the other hand, the third-largest party, Koizumi's Buddhist-based coalition partner, has given him crucial support for keeping the troops in Japan beyond December.
The prime minister has yet to announce a firm decision, but he did tell lawmakers that he would like the troops to stay.
"Members of the Self-Defense Forces are carrying out a mission appreciated by local residents," he said. "We want to continue these activities that are highly regarded by residents there."
Buoyed by recent opinion polls in which a majority of respondents opposed extending the mission, the DPJ is preparing to bring a bill before parliament that would prevent it by repealing the special law that permitted the dispatch.
Critics of the deployment argue that Samawah, almost 300 km south of Baghdad, cannot accurately be called a non-combat zone.
"All of Iraq is now a combat zone and the situation could arise where the lives of SDF members are placed in danger," senior DPJ lawmaker Yoshio Hachiro was quoted as saying.
Japanese troops have not come under enemy attack in Samawah, although a rocket shell did land in their base late last month. It caused little damage and no injuries.
Responding to arguments that the SDF should withdraw because Samawah was not safe, Koizumi drew a distinction between the place being a non-combat zone and being safe: "I never said Samawah was safe. The SDF is there because it is not safe."
Five Japanese have been killed in Iraq , but none of them were soldiers. Two journalists were shot dead last May, and two diplomats were ambushed and killed a year ago.
The slaying last month of a Japanese backpacker seized and beheaded by terrorists in Iraq fueled criticism of Koizumi. He had rejected the kidnappers' demands to pull out the SDF troops within 48 hours.
Osaka University international politics professor Kazuya Sakamoto wrote this week that although many people questioned the correctness of the war, "there is no doubt that the establishment of a sound political system over there is desirable for the world as a whole."
Whatever decision Japan makes on extending the mission, it must prioritize two things, Sakamoto said.
"First, Japan intends to continue helping Iraq's reconstruction, and second, Tokyo continues to attach strong importance to Japan-U.S. relations."
A more assertive Japan envisioned
According to the report by the Sydney-based Lowy Institute, Japan's shift towards having a more assertive security policy was "evolutionary, not revolutionary, but it is gaining momentum."
The report's author, international security specialist Alan Dupont, said there was a real possibility that Japan could revise its pacifist constitution by the end of this decade, and so speed up its transformation from a "well-equipped but combat-deficient military to a more usable, deployable defense force."
Dupont accepted that Japan's rise would prompt some tension in the region, notably from China, because of Tokyo's militaristic past, but argued that any fears would not be well-founded.
"Given its geo-strategic vulnerabilities, energy dependence and declining birth rate, Japan is hardly in a position to embark on a policy of military adventurism or expansionism in East Asia, not least because it would be vehemently opposed by China, Japan's principal competitor for regional influence, as well as its major ally, the U.S."
Dupont said although Koizumi was driving the move towards a more outward-looking security stance, Japanese public opinion had also been changing over the past decade, largely because of China's rise, the terror threat, and North Korea.
He said Australia should support Japan and encourage it to play a greater security role in the region.
Japan and Australia, both strong allies of the U.S. in Iraq, are "often described as the northern and southern anchors of the U.S. alliance in Asia," the report said.
It recommended that Tokyo and Canberra should also "cooperate more closely in order to influence Washington's approach to Asian security issues."

Homeless count finds 51 without shelter in White Center, 2736 countywide
A small army of volunteers, guided by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, spread throughout the county one night each January in an attempt to account for every person with no option but to sleep on the streets.
This year's count, which took place on Jan. 25, sent over 900 volunteers out in the early morning hours. They tallied a total of 2736 men, women and children living without shelter across King County. They "were found sleeping on sidewalks, under bridges, in their cars, on public transit, and in temporary structures and makeshift campsites" the coalition explained in their One Night Count summary.
The total is 142 more homeless than last year's count.
The count clumps Seattle into a single category (with 1989), so we can't say how many homeless were found in West Seattle, but the coalition does a specific count for White Center, the unincorporated land between Seattle and Burien with an estimated population around 17,000.
51 people were counted living without shelter in White Center. 31 of them were living in their vehicles, 16 were found near structures, two were found in doorways, and two homeless citizens were "walking around" that night, according to survey results.
The tally is a slight dip from the 2012 count, where 55 homeless were accounted for. Later in the year, a survey of people staying in shelters on that night will also be compiled, making for a more complete picture.
A first-person perspective
White Center Storefront Deputy BJ Myers with the King County Sheriff's Office spends a good portion of his workweek simply walking around the unincorporated area and interacting with the homeless population – mostly to ensure their safety, and at times keeping them in line with the law (those two can coexist).
Myers took part in the One Night Count this year and explained how the process works, along with his take on the results.
"It's worth mentioning that the count has some built in estimation; they count at night when the homeless population is less mobile and easier to count, but since it's nighttime they don't wake any one, so estimations are made as to how many people are likely to be in tents, cars, and shelters," he wrote in an email. "They have consistent rules as to how many people to tally for cars and shelters, but you have to take the numbers with a measure of estimation. I think 50 homeless people in unsheltered places in White Center is descriptive of what I see on a day to day basis."
Myers said a "complicating variable" in counting the true population in White Center may be skewed by the number of homeless spending nights in abandoned and foreclosed homes.
"These folks aren't counted as part of this count, since they have shelter at night. However, from time to time these same people may stay in cars or tents when the abandoned houses become unlivable, due to law enforcement attention, new owners, cleanliness, etc."
That being said, Myers added the count "is useful in describing where homeless populations are found," during this time of year (primarily in abandoned vehicles during the winter months). He said a summertime count would be interesting to see how population numbers and locations change from season to season.
"Some of the greenbelts in White Center, where dozens of people were living six months ago, were quite vacant during the count. I think a combination of requests by King County and WSDOT (Washington State Dept. of Transportation) to vacate these areas, and recent heavy rains drove people to sturdier shelters."
Action out of a number
The Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness wrote that coming up with this "big, sad number … is just the beginning."
The group educates others in becoming advocates for the homeless with workshops, and lobbies state lawmakers to fund and protect housing and homeless programs. As a non-profit, they also take donations to carry on.
The One Night Count is partially funded by the King County Committee to End Homelessness, as part of their 10-Year Plan to eradicate the problem. That plan, adopted in 2005, has a stated goal of working "to ensure alignment and coordination among all the entities in our community that are engaged in meeting the needs (of) the homeless, and (building) on local and national best practices for resolving homelessness."
With three years to go in a 10-year plan, it's clear the battle wages on. Sometimes, as Myers explained, it is the seemingly simple steps that hinder connecting our most vulnerable with stable housing.
"I have been surprised at how often paperwork acts as a barrier to services," he said. "I know there are all kinds of agencies with all kinds of programs that could be useful to someone trying to find support or shelter, but I often hear that someone can't get help because they don't have proper identification or no access to their birth certificate or no address where they can reliably get correspondence.
"Things that I would consider to be small problems, but they are just enough of a barrier to keep someone from changing their situation."

Laminate Selection & Install Question
I am in the process of selecting a laminate for my den (Slab). Does anyone have any experience with Westhollow products? Specifically, silent impressions 4. This product features 3.5" wide random length planks with 4 sided v groove. I like the look as it looks like real hardwood, but is the product any good. Also, regarding installation, I have a brick fireplace hearth that extends into the room. how do I finish the edge if the floor that meets the hearth. I can't nail quarter round into the brick, right?
Thanks for the help.
Never heard of em.
As far as the hearth, you can use end cap transitions, or undercut the brick and slide under.

Re: How to Enable Automatic Recalculation
Hi Vic,
Easy. Use SetDelayed i.e., := instead of Set (=). Set calculates the
value of b at definition time whereas SetDelayed causes the value if b
to be calculated when b is actually used. This is actually very basic
stuff that is easily found in the manual.
Cheers -- Sjoerd

You may have heard me chatting about Eat Write Retreat in a post or two. It's a food blogger conference being held in Philadelphia at the end of this month. It was the very first blogger conference I attended and I am really excited to be going back. They've set a very high standard for what to expect at such an event and I hold every other conference up to that standard.
Attendees who registered early this year were automatically entered into an Amazing Apps Culinary Challenge. We were randomly assigned with an ingredient from one of the event sponsors. I knew in advance I would be receiving a goodie box from California Figs, California Ripe Olives, California Raisins or US Potatoes. Can I just tell you how excited I was when I was placed on Team Tater? Potatoes are such a great ingredient to highlight in an appetizer.
We were sent recipe inspiration, nutritional information, an overview of the different types of potatoes, some OXO goodies and an assortment of colorful potatoes to use. I learned a lot of useful information while reading through the materials. For example: one medium-size potato has just 110 calories. With the skin it has 18% of the recommended daily value (DV) of potassium per serving as well as 45% of the recommended DV of Vitamin C.
When I found out I would be working with potatoes, my mind immediately went to French fries. However, the idea made me nervous. Could French fries possibly be considered an "Amazing Appetizer"? They're a side dish, right?
Not necessarily. It's true, they make an excellent side dish but what if the flavors are strong enough on their own that they'd compete with the main course? These French fries need to be served alone so that you can fully appreciate the flavors. Make a large batch of them to serve at a party. They're coated with powdered buttermilk which melts in the mouth and when combined with the other spices, it creates a savory, mouth-watering umami flavor that will have you licking the spice off your fingers so you don't miss a single bit of the experience.
- 2½ tablespoons dried buttermilk powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- optional: 2 teaspoons fresh chives, minced
- optional: 1½ tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped finely
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled (see note)
- Neutral high heat oil for frying (vegetable, grapeseed, safflower, etc)
- In a very large bowl, combine the dried buttermilk powder, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried minced onion, sugar, cayenne, salt and pepper. Do not add the fresh herbs if using or the mixture will potentially clump from moisture.
- Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside. Using a mandoline with the French fry attachment, slice the potatoes into fries. Place the potatoes into the ice water. Cover and chill for at least 50 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottom saucepan. Using a thermometer, bring the oil to 325 degrees F. Make sure there's at least 3 inches between the oil and the top of the pan to avoid splatter.
- Drain the potatoes and dry very thoroughly. Line a sheet pan with paper towels.
- Add ½ of the fries to the hot oil and cook for 6 minutes. Adjust the flame as needed to maintain the temperature.
- Carefully remove the fries and transfer to the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining fries.
- Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Add ½ of the fries to the oil and cook until golden brown. Remove and allow to drain on fresh paper towels while you cook the remaining potatoes.
- Toss the fries with the reserved spice mixture, tossing in the fresh herbs last.
- Serve hot.

Sara Groves
0 Shouts - 658,563 Scrobbles
Sara Groves (born in 1972) is an American singer/songwriter from Burnsville, Minnesota, near the Twin Cities.Read More...
Sara received her Bachelor of Science degree in History and English in 1994 from Evangel University, a private Christian university in Springfield, Missouri. Sara spent four years teaching high school in Rosemount, Minnesota before recording her first album, Past the Wishing, in 1998. Since then, she has released five more albums and appeared on several others (see below). Sara has been nominated for 3 Dove Awards including "New Artist of the Year" in 2002 and "Special Event Album of the Year 2003" by the Gospel Music Association. She was named one of the best Christian music artists of 2005 and the album, Add to the Beauty, was named "Album of the Year" for 2005 by CCM Magazine. In 2009 Fireflies & Songs earned enough votes from a panel of ten music critics to be named Christianity Today's Album of the Year. The magazine explained their choice: "Already known for her transparent songwriting, Sara Groves gets even more piercingly honest on this, her ninth album. Whether her relationship with God, marital tension, or a private battle with anxiety, it's poetically spilled forth in Groves' call for the church to 'live confessionally.' And paired with less poppy, stripped-down arrangements, her achingly clear vocal remains front and center. This is vintage Groves—yet more herself than ever." Read more on Last.fm.

2009 Track NCAA Championship Notes
The Tennessee men's track and field team travels to Fayetteville, Ark., for the NCAA Championships held at John McDonnell Field on June 10 -13. Eight Volunteers have qualified in seven different events.
"This is a great track meet with the very best competition in the country," Tennessee head coach Bill Webb said. "Our eight guys are looking forward to competing and representing Tennessee well. We have a couple of athletes who should score for us, and I expect a few more of our guys to come in and upset the descending order list."
Tennessee has two athletes who earned automatic berths based on top-five finishes at the NCAA Mideast Regional. Sophomore Charlton Rolle, who finished third at the regional meet, will make his second appearance at the NCAA Championships in the 110m hurdles looking to improve on his 15th-place finish from a season ago. Rolle's top time from the 2009 season of 13.77 ranks 18th in the nation.
The second athlete to earn an automatic berth is senior Nick Panezich, who placed third in the shot at the regional meet. Panezich is making his first-ever appearance at an outdoor NCAA Championship meet after finishing 10th indoors this season. His top outdoor mark from this season of 18.23m (59-9.75) ranks 23rd in the nation.
Five other Vols earned competition spots based on the strength of elite performances from the 2009 season. Sophomore Michael Ayers will make his second NCAA appearance after picking up an at-large bid in the decathlon from his 7,480-point effort at the Sea Ray Relays. Ayers will look to improve on his 12th-place, All-America finish from the 2008 NCAA decathlon. He ranks 10th nationally entering the meet.
Sophomore Joe Berry won his third straight SEC Championship in the pole vault earlier this season by clearing 5.38m (17-7.75), and that performance ranks ninth nationally. Berry earned an automatic spot last season by way of his Mideast Region crown and went on to finish 10th at the NCAA Championships.
Freshmen Emerson Peacock and Joe Franklin both clocked sub-1:48.5 times this season in the 800m, which ranked them 12th and 13th on the NCAA performance list. Franklin was the runner-up at the SEC Championships earlier this season.
Senior Akeem Hardnett narrowly missed an automatic bid in the triple jump with his sixth-place finish at the Mideast Regional, but the mark he posted there, 15.95m (52-4), ranks 18th on the national list. It is his first-ever NCAA appearance.
Junior Evander Wells will make his third career NCAA outdoor appearance and run the 100m in search of his ninth All-America certificate. His top time of 10.26 ranks 13th nationally.
Six of UT's eight competitors will be in action on June 10 as the decathlon and individual event qualification begins. Rolle does not begin qualifying in the 110m hurdles until June 11, and Hardnett triple jumps for the first time on June 12.
Live results will be available throughout all four days of the meet at UTsports.com and NCAAsports.com. Some event finals will be televised live June 12 at 7 pm ET on CBS College Sports and June 13 at 1 pm ET on CBS.

text: This interactive tutorial will explore ideas in cybernetics through the lens of social processes and societal change. It will start with the concept of society and then work back to develop a vocabulary for thinking and talking about the dynamics of human relations and behavior that support the concept. As the concept of human society implies linguistic behavior, language will be a central theme of the tutorial. Special attention will be given to the distinctions that arise from the various linguistic/logical domains of cybernetics, e.g., linearity vs. circularity, causal explanation vs. descriptive dynamics, state-determined vs. structure-determined systems, control vs. autonomy, communication vs. conversation, hierarchy vs. heterarchy, power vs. participation. While every attempt will be made to relate the ideas to everyday life, the potential of the individual to participate in transforming a society will not be ignored. The tutorial should end with a discussion of responsibility and freedom in the context of human desire and action and the process of creating a desirable society.

Is there some place that has fuel pumps for my 02 WRX that wouldnt charge an arm and a leg to overnight it?

Green Bay Volleyball Headed to North Dakota Tournament

After sweeping Drake in its season opener last Friday to start the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament, the Phoenix has since lost three straight matches to stiff competition. Green Bay fell to defending MAC Tournament champion and NCAA Tournament qualifier Central Michigan 3-0 on Saturday before wrapping up its home tournament with a hard-fought 3-0 loss to Auburn of the SEC - the RPI's third strongest conference. Most recently the Phoenix traveled to DeKalb, Ill., on Tuesday night for its first road match of the season, suffering a 3-1 loss to another 2011 NCAA Tournament team in Northern Illinois.
Stephen F. Austin opened the 2012 season strong, winning all three of its matches at the UT-Arlington/Hilton Invitational a weekend ago. Led by all-tournament performances from seniors Madison Hanlan and Sabrina Burns, the Ladyjacks topped Texas-Pan American (3-2), Savannah State (3-0) and UT-Arlington (3-0) to take the tournament title. Stephen F. Austin enters the UND Classic coming off a 3-1 loss in its first home contest against Louisiana-Monroe Tuesday night.
South Dakota began its 2012 campaign with four matches at the Alabama State ISTAP Invitational last weekend. The Coyotes opened with a pair of wins over Tennessee State (3-1) and Stetson (3-0) before dropping a five-setter to Jacksonville State (3-2). South Dakota bounced back in the tournament finale with a 3-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana. The Coyotes, picked fifth in the Summit League preseason poll, were paced by Amber Aschoff and Kendall Kritenbrink at ISTAP, as Aschoff recorded 46 kills and landed on the all-tournament team and while Kritenbrink had 45 kills.
The tournament hosts from UND are off to a 1-2 start in 2012, falling to No. 5 USC (3-0) and Texas A&M (3-0) and defeating Texas State (3-1) at the Texas A&M Tournament last weekend. Sophomore Lexi Robinson had a solid tournament, posting a double-double with 16 kills and 16 digs in UND's first victory of the season.
Senior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) is off to a strong start in 2012, leading the Phoenix with 41 kills from the middle. Her .405 hitting percentage ranks fourth among all Horizon League players, and she also ranks in the top 10 in blocks (seventh, 0.92 per set). Her solid play was rewarded with a spot on the all-tournament team at the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites tourney.
Senior libero Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) leads all Horizon League players in digs per set with 6.32. She broke the Green Bay school record for digs in a three-set match with 29 last Saturday against Auburn and was named Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Aug. 27 for the fourth time in her career.
Green Bay volleyball head coach Debbie Kirch sat down with host Ryan Hartwig for the season's first episode of Match Point. Hear from coach Kirch about the team's challenging schedule, the season-opening win against Drake, the strong start by senior Carmen Leitermann and more.
The Phoenix has two more tournaments on the schedule before beginning Horizon League play on Sept. 21 against Cleveland State. Green Bay first heads to Brookings, S.D., for the South Dakota State Jackrabbit Invitational (South Dakota State, Bradley) before making the trip to Davidson, N.C., for the Davidson Wildcat Classic (NC Central, High Point, Davidson).

I'm intrigued by the work of Nathalie L?t?, a 44-year-old artist and writer living in Paris, born to a German mother and a Chinese father. Lete is an icon in Japan, Japanese youth really appreciate her aesthetic as most of her work is inspired by her childhood and they find it very tender and Parisian. Her work reminds me a little of that of Niki de Saint Phalle, one of my favorite artists.
In Japan, her designs are distributed under the name Chat Chien, perhaps you've heard of it before? In addition to Japan, you may know her from her collaborations in the past with the Designers Guild in London, and her designs for the French ceramics studio Astier de Vilatte, where her pieces range from $890-6,200 for ceramics, lithographs, and hand-tufted wool rugs. For the first time ever in the United States, Anthropologie has commissioned her work to bring a broader audience to her style with the work of Nathalie L?t? appearing on cotton voile bedding, plates, ceramic drawer pulls, vases, and rugs.
Nathalie L?t? has her first U.S. exhibition at Anthropologie in New York City at 50 Rockefeller Plaza now through June 20, 2008. You can also find these items in their retail stores nationwide and online via their website. I think it's exciting that large companies like Anthropologie are promoting the works of artists and I'm certain since we have a demand that the trend will continue in this direction.
Here's a sneak peek of some of what's on view at their NYC store.
Love those rugs! In addition to Anthropologie (more to come), you can also purchase some of her work at La Marelle.
Side topic: I'm still pushing for Anthro to publish a book — we need an Anthro Visual Display DIY book release from them because they have to share with us all their unique display ideas and crafts that they create in their stores. It's all too amazing and pretty to not pull together for a book, don't you think?

La Jolla's grandeur is nowhere more evident than along its coastline, where you'll find some of the most breathtaking beaches in California. Dramatic cliffs, sandy expanses and secluded coves, La Jolla offers a range of beaches to please everyone—whether your interest is sunbathing, swimming, surfing... or seals!
Windansea Beach
Underwater reefs and jutting rocks create fierce waves at Windansea; you're more likely to find experienced surfers than families with small children. The secluded, breathtaking scenery attracts admirers as well, particularly the romantic type. The historic and often photographed surf shack on the beach makes a popular backdrop for wedding photos and richly colored sunset shots. Located at the end of Nautilus Street, with a small parking lot as well as street parking.
La Jolla Children's Pool
Originally conceived as a protected swimming area for children, the sea-walled cove began to fill with sand and eventually, harbor seals. There is still ongoing debate over who is more entitled to this spot—children or the seals—but it does not diminish its appeal to tourists and locals. It's a great place to take a photo. Free parking along Coast Blvd, accessible from nearby paid lots as well.
La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove is San Diego's most desirable spot for swimming, snorkeling and diving. The water is calm and ecologically protected, providing a safe home for colorful garibaldi, yellowtail, rays and even leopard sharks. Because the water is protected, surfboards, boogie boards and other floatation devices are not permitted. The beach itself is small, but nearby Scripps Park offers a nice grassy expanse for spreading out. Parking is available in nearby paid lots, with a few street spots available for the lucky.
La Jolla Shores
A long, wide beach with soft sand, clean water and gentle waves, La Jolla Shores is an ideal spot for families, sunbathers and beginner surfers.
The beach is cozy and comfortable, with a nice picnic area at the adjacent Kellogg Park. The beach offers a large parking lot and free parking on nearby residential streets.
Black's Beach
Beautiful and isolated, Black's is located north of Scripps Pier, beneath the Torrey Pines Gliderport and close to UCSD. Access it by walking from Shores or descending the rough cliff path from above. The north portion of Black's is clothing-optional, where nudists bask in the sun and play volleyball without bathing suits.
In general, dogs are not allowed on beaches during the day. Alcohol, smoking and beach fires are not permitted. No overnight camping. Please check each beach's posted rules.

|oh and ohm out the motor windings too.. you should get 16 or 33 ohms on each of the 3 windings... ie blue to yellow, blue to red, red to yellow... not sure if those are the colors... sometimes on the F&P they are all brown or something weird..
It is never a bad thing to leave it to the professionals. Inexperience can lead to more damage or risk of injury. You can always call A&E Factory Service (1-800-905-9505), Sears(1-800-469-4663), or local service man you can trust (servicemagic.com).

HTC is in trouble. There's little disagreement from industry experts on this as the firm is under fire from Samsung (with Android) and Nokia (with Windows Phone), squeezing the manufacturer from both sides.
In fact, a recent IDC report exposed how far HTC has fallen dropping from 8.2% of the Windows Phone market in 2012 to just 4.6% in 2013. That's after the critically acclaimed HTC 8X and 8S were made available. Today, Samsung is now the number two vendor on Windows Phone with nearly 12% and one million shipments. You read that right.
In a vaguely worded article from DigiTimes this morning, it cites "industry sources" as noting that HTC is "drifting away" from Windows Phone, instead focusing on Android where they recently dropped out of the top five vendor ranking.

Just got a call on my cell from my sister who was flying out of Kansas City to Chicago on business. She paid $14 to upgrade for a little more leg room in economy plus - best $14 she ever spent.
As she entered the plane there were two "little people" in her row that needed a bit of help. After talking with the woman for a bit she found out that the man she was with was Kenny Baker. He was there shooting the new TV series for LFL as R2D2.
She spoke with him, well mostly her as Kenny is not at all well, during the entire flight. Still after all that she failed to find out anything about the series or get me an autograph - guess who's coming off my Christmas list this year? :angry
Anyway, sounds like she had a good time speaking with them, just wish it had been me.

Two new additions at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium (PDZA) showed their adorable faces to the public on March 24 – the yet-to-be-named, two-week-old clouded leopard cubs.
The cubs, born March 6 at PDZA, will make appearances every four hours during daily feeding times, currently set for 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
PDZA has become one of only three zoos nationwide to breed these endangered clouded leopards, along with Nashville Zoo and Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo. The cubs are the second litter for Chai Li and her mate Nah Fun, who gave birth to their first litter, Taji and Sumalee, in June 2011.
For the past 10 years or so, PDZA has become an international leader in clouded leopard conservation, working with partners worldwide, supporting field research, education initiatives and breeding programs.
"There are very few organizations focused on clouded leopard preservation," said associate curator of education Karen Povey. Povey is involved in field research and also develops educational and breeding programs for clouded leopards here as well as in Thailand and Borneo.
"These are such engaging animals, our entire staff has become completely smitten with them," she added.
Although clouded leopard numbers are dropping in the wild, Povey said people can make an impact on conservation efforts by simply making good consumer choices. "Purchasing sustainable wood products and sustainable palm oil can make a difference to these animals," Povey said.
The cubs will not be considered completely independent until about 10 months old, and eventually grow to an average adult size of about 35-51 pounds.
Stationed in the Cats of the Canopy exhibit, the male and female cubs are already exhibiting signs of distinct personalities, according to staff biologist Andy Goldfarb. "The male is always trying to beat up on his sister, and the female has been very picky about the temperature of her formula," Goldfarb laughed. "Their personalities are slowly starting to develop. I can tell the female will have a very confident attitude in the future."
In the past couple weeks, the cubs have nearly quadrupled in weight, and will continue to be bottle fed a special formula until they are introduced to meat at around six months old.
Don't miss the cubs during feeding times daily at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Help zoo officials choose the perfect name for each cub, by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/s/YF28QN3. Each name was carefully chosen by zoo officials to reflect personality traits of each cub. Here are your options:
Male cub
Tong-Yi – Big Belly
Win-Yan – Soul
Tum-Li – Destruction
Chan-Soon – Noble
Female cub
Toy-Long – Backwards
Sook-Son – Mischievous
Chok-De – Fortunate
Kwam-My – Meaningful

Contrary To BP PR, Most Oil Spill Claims Are Legit
Farron Cousins | December 6, 2014
By Farron Cousins • Saturday, December 6, 2014 - 07:00
For more than a year, oil giant BP has waged a massive public relations battle to convince Americans that the company has been bamboozled by the oil spill claims process relating to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig blowout.
This BP PR campaign has involved full-page newspaper ads paid for by the company suggesting it is being swindled by Gulf Coast residents who were not affected by the oil spill. BP spokesepeople have appeared in the media to argue that the claims process has been "absurd." And evidence even suggests that the company has employed online "trolls" to attack legitimate victims on social media websites.
BP has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this PR blitz, all because they want to avoid paying out any more claims to Gulf Coast residents. But the problem the company is running into now is that independent investigations have shown that the claims process is not rife with fraud, as BP has claimed.
At least 99.5% of the claims that have been filed are legitimate, according to an audit.

Re: Summary: Which[] as Textbook Input, Plot[] Questions
You would like Mathematica 5.1, which introduces the new function
Piecewise. You could enter your function like this:
f[x_] := Piecewise[{{Sin[x]/x, x != 0}, {1, x == 0}}]
Then the result of evaluating
would be a display of exactly the kind you want, with the large left
brace (albeit no commas). And then you could plot as usual:
Plot[f[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}]
Time to upgrade!
By the way, it's unclear why you expressed your piecewise definition
with three clauses, instead of just two:
Which[x != 0, Sin[x]/x, x == 0, 1]

Iraqi Newspaper: Kuwait's Ship-Seizing 'Acts of Piracy'
An official Iraqi newspaper on Monday described the seizure of Iraqi boats in the Gulf by Kuwait's coastguard as "acts of piracy" and demanded that the United Nations intervene to stop it.
"The leaders in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are not happy with the crimes they committed against Iraq and are looking for new ways of harming its people," charged Ath-Thawra newspaper, mouthpiece of the ruling Baath party.
Kuwait's coast guard on Sunday seized an Iraqi wooden ship carrying a cargo of sheep inside Kuwait's territorial waters for allegedly breaking the UN embargo on Iraq.
It was "an act of piracy," Ath-Thawra said. "These acts are a flagrant violation of Iraq's sovereignty and an armed aggression against the UN charter and international norms."
"These provocative acts of piracy require intervention from the secretary-general of the Arab League, the United Nations and the acting president of the Security Council to put an end to them," the paper said.
Kuwait also seized on Saturday an Iraqi oil tanker carrying 650 tons of diesel on its way from the southern Iraqi port of Umm Qasr to the United Arab Emirates with 12 crewmen on board.
Kuwait seized two wooden ships in May and June, with 19 Indian and Pakistani crew on board, for violating the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq. The vessels were reportedly carrying leather, lentils, wool and dates – BAGHDAD (AFP)

Canada's Alberta to introduce economy-wide carbon tax in 2017
By Mike De Souza
CALGARY Nov 22 (Reuters) - The Canadian province of Alberta, home to the country's controversial oil sands, said on Sunday it will implement an economy-wide tax on carbon emissions in 2017, addressing long-standing criticism it is not doing enough to combat climate change.
The provincial government estimated the plan, including a pledge to phase out pollution from coal-fired electricity generation by 2030 and a limit on emissions from the province's oil sands industry, would generate C$3 billion ($2.25 billion) in annual revenue.
Backed by prominent representatives from industry and the environmental movement, Premier Rachel Notley said the province was trying to do the right thing for the future.
Notley's left-leaning New Democratic Party took power earlier this year, ending 44 years of Conservative rule.
"It will help us access new markets for our energy products, and diversify our economy with renewable energy and energy efficiency technology," Notley said in Edmonton. "Alberta is showing leadership on one of the world's biggest problems."
Alberta has the world's third largest crude reserves, but its oil sands industry is also Canada's fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions.
That status has prompted fierce opposition from environmental groups to proposed pipelines that would allow the industry to access new markets, including the recently rejected Keystone XL pipeline, proposed by TransCanada Corp.
U.S. President Barack Obama rejected that project on Nov. 6, explaining that "shipping dirtier crude oil" into the United States would not enhance the country's energy security. Continued...

It was the same old story for the Rockford Rams varsity softball team Monday afternoon, May 11, as they once again defeated the Jenison Wildcats by the score of 2-0.
This time, the Rams got it done in the standard seven innings, unlike the 13-inning marathon the teams engaged in earlier this season. Although the length of the game was different this time around, there were a number of similarities besides the obvious final tally. The game once again featured stellar pitching by Tricia Graham, some outstanding plays by the Ram defense, and a couple of big hits at key times to propel the Rams to the victory, which improved their OK Red record to 10-3 (22-5 overall), good for second place in the conference behind Hudsonville.
Graham, the Rams' sophomore hurler, allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out seven Wildcat batters. The only serious threat she faced was in the fourth inning when Jenison got a two-out single for their first base runner of the game. After the next batter walked, Graham buckled down, got the next batter to strike out swinging to end the inning.
The Rams got on the board early in the contest thanks to another big hit by the Wildcat killer, centerfielder Lauren Pasciak. "LoLo," who smacked the game-winning hit in the first meeting between the two teams, ripped a hard line drive toward center field, which eluded the Wildcat outfielder and made it all the way to the fence. The hit was ruled a triple, and Pasciak scored on a throwing error from the outfield to the cutoff.
The Rams clung on to the 1-0 lead for the majority of the afternoon. Junior catcher Karli Showers helped thwart a potential Jenison rally in the top of the sixth inning. With a fast runner already on second base with just one out, Showers made a spectacular diving catch of a fouled bunt attempt on the third-base side. Graham then calmly got the next batter to pop out to second baseman Taylor Sergent to end the inning.
The Rams gave themselves a little breathing room in the bottom of the sixth inning as Peyton Wells smacked a triple over the head of the right-fielder for a one-out triple. The next batter, senior third baseman Alex Fulbright, executed a perfect safety squeeze to score Wells from third and the final run of the game.
For the season, Graham is now 18-5 with an ERA of 0.83. She has struck out 280 batters while walking just 30 in over 151 innings pitched. Defensively, the Rams have committed 25 errors on the season compared to 68 by their opponents. Leading the charge offensively is Wells, the sophomore cleanup hitter. She leads the team in several categories, including batting average (0.383), RBIs (34), on-base percentage (0.457), and slugging percentage (0.630). Graham has also helped her own cause this year, providing power at the plate with nine extra-base hits, while Pasciak has eight extra-base hits. Senior shortstop and leadoff hitter Carly Shutich leads the team with 28 runs scored. Pasciak has scored 24 and right-fielder Morgan Ruchty has scored 23 times.
Rockford plays at East Kentwood on Wednesday, May 20. With a victory against the Falcons, the Rams can secure a second-place finish in the tough OK Red. Thursday, May 21, the team plays in the Mandy Tichelaar Tournament in Lowell. The following week, the Rams travel to Wayland to face the perennial power before beginning district tournament play on Saturday, May 30, at Greenville against Kenowa Hills.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: open
I see two different kinds of items for Froogle and wondered how they would play out against each other in terms of developing the interface. That is, unique one of a kind products...such as a Picasso painting...vs 50 different shops selling one kind of digital camera. Just seeing two different slants...would any interface design conflicts surface?
What about this category thing? Any comments on developing good categories?
I think the service is great. I really can not wait and hope they intergrate it with the main site soon.
How long have they been in Beta though?
I did noticed slight chages over the past few months in the filtering tools. Has anyone noticed any other changes?
By best impression of Froogle (none of my sites are ecommerce, as Froogle defines it) is like a recipie - It's "ok" but "missing something".
(Thinking 'out loud' a bit...)
The ability to filter by price helps, but sorting by price would be REALLY GOOD GUYS! -- ESPECIALLY REVERSE SORT)
I also notices some of the sites while looking for my IP Phone no longer carried it -- and look like they dropped it some time ago. I wonder how current the index is?
Lastly I ended up going to Yahoo Shopping and repeating my search. Why? Merchant ratings. There's just too many merchants out there selling commodity items (a particular cordless phone for example) and trying to limit stores based on 'reputation' is impossible with froogle. (I know there are 3rd party places that hold rankings, but correlating it to Frooble is a major PITA).

I ordered my WRX limited on January 20 and I called my General Sales Manager today and he still doesn't have a VIN #. He originally told me about 8 weeks and I will hit 8 weeks on Saturday and still don't have a VIN. Does this sound common?
Im not sure if I want to get a base version or a limited version. I'm really just interested in the short shifter and thats about it, the rest of the options seem too expensive. In the subaru website theres basically a $3500 difference between base and limited for options im not sure are worth it; i have to see a base wrx though to make that judgement.
Im from the NY area; I have an amazing deal right now on my current lease (infiniti) but im looking to finance a wrx. Looking to see what other people are paying so I know how much room I have to play with!
If your a Costco member you get fleet pricing with SOA. No haggling at all. I got a 2012 limited for 26.8k.
Matter of fact you don't even deal with the salesmen if you use Costco. You'll deal with the dealers fleet manager.
26.8 plus taxes and fees...or just 26.8 alltogether? If you have tier 1 credit you get the car at 2.9% from Subaru - does the same apply at costco?
Im actually looking at a base. I went in today to see a base model and I have already seen a limited one. I actually preferred the cloth seats, dont care about sunroof, so for me base with a few accessories is good.
Like all programs, not all cars from a manufacturer are part of the program. I would have thought that the WRX and Sti would be held out. Good to hear that is not the case.
