The Federal Reserve Banks have announced modifications to the schedule for previously announced check processing infrastructure changes as consumers and businesses continue the shift from using paper checks toward electronic payments and as financial institutions rapidly adopt electronic check processing.
In June 2007, the Federal Reserve Banks selected Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta and Dallas as regional check processing sites that are expected to provide a full range of paper check processing services and receive processing volume from other sites in a phased transition. Other remaining sites will have their operations scaled back. These scaled-back sites will all print substitute checks, but some will also capture paper check images for processing.
The revised schedule will take effect immediately, with seven sites transitioning in 2008 as opposed to the five that were originally scheduled. The accelerated schedule for 2008 includes five sites converting to print-only locations (Kansas City, Mo.; Memphis, Tenn.; Cincinnati; Windsor Locks, Conn.; and Jacksonville, Fla.), one site (Seattle) converting to a capture and print site, and one site that just closed (Utica, N.Y.).
See the press release for full details.

Laurel -- To the Community Health Network, for helping people get their prescriptions filled. The network is a partnership of local hospitals, medical providers, health departments, social service agencies and a pharmacy. A federal grant obtained by the Partnership for Health pays for the program that helps uninsured residents of Henderson, Polk and Transylvania counties. With Dr. K.D. Smith as pharmacist, the program fills prescriptions to treat chronic and acute conditions such as asthma, diabetes and depression. People enrolled in the network pay only $3 per prescription for a month's supply of medicine.
Dart -- To people who dump illegally. They often choose places for their isolation, but their trash ruins the natural beauty of these spots for everyone. A case in point is the dumping going on along a private drive off Locust Grove Road in Edneyville. The people living along the drive estimate that a large pickup load of trash has been dumped in rhododendron thickets along the road over the last four or five months. "There's bears, coons, fox dogs and coyotes up there," said David Corn, "and they spread that stuff out." The culprits may think they are getting rid of trash, but what they are doing is making someone else clean up their mess. Corn and neighbor Robert Love try to keep the trash picked up. Love says he'd like to catch the dumpers and have them arrested. We hope he is successful.
Laurel -- To Ciara Newman, for being named North Carolina's Outstanding Teen. Newman, a 17-year-old rising senior at North Henderson High School, won the state teen pageant last week. The competition encourages youths to live healthy, get involved in the community and build scholastic achievement. Newman's platform included multiple sclerosis awareness, a topic that interests her because three members of her church suffer from it. She won a $3,000 savings bond, a prize package that includes fitness training, vocal instruction and hair care products. She now goes to the national competition Aug. 16-19 in Orlando, Fla.
Dart -- To state legislators, for once again failing to meet their budget deadline. Legislators have passed a budget on time only three times since 1979, the last time three years ago. As early as Thursday, House and Senate negotiators said they would miss the midnight Friday deadline. Then, the negotiators announced they had reached agreement on the $18.9 billion spending plan. But instead of staying in Raleigh and doing the public's business, the lawmakers decided to take a long weekend. A really long weekend. They agreed to go home and stay there through the Fourth of July holiday. Lawmakers are expected to hold final budget votes Wednesday and Thursday. The Senate approved its version of the budget in mid-May and the House on June 9. Legislators had plenty of money, plenty of time and should have had plenty of motivation. Still, they couldn't get done on time. It wouldn't have hurt lawmakers to sacrifice a bit of the weekend. Then again, we should know better than to expect leadership from the Legislature.

Last month, the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) put out their top trends for 2013. These were from a survey of over 300 designers in the last quarter of 2013:
Among the overall trends identified for this year, the most significant that surfaced for both kitchens and baths are as follows:
- Gray color schemes in both kitchens and baths have witnessed a dramatic escalation since 2010, particularly over the past year. Used currently in 55% of kitchens and 56% of bathrooms, shades of gray are growing in appeal, creating chic, sophisticated spaces that many consumers desire.
- Continuing an important trend from last year, transitional-style kitchens and baths have clearly surpassed traditional styles, a longstanding favorite until 2012.
- While the use of quartz finishes was in slight decline last year, it has surfaced as a clear trendsetter this year, coming a close second to perennial favorite granite.
- No growth in consumer outlays: Homeowners were spending more on their kitchen and bath remodels a year ago -- however, the latest report reveals a slightly less robust situation. The total cost of the average kitchen and of the average bath design in 2012 was $51,050 and $18,575, respectively, but the most recent figures have dipped to $47,308 in kitchens, while staying steady at $18,538 in bathrooms.
Although some trends from the past year continue to grow significantly into 2013, the last three months of 2012 have also laid the groundwork for new ones to thrive. Some of the other top trending design components include white painted cabinetry, glass backsplashes, LED lighting, touch-activated faucets and satin-nickel finishes in kitchens; and ceramic/porcelain tiles and undermount sinks in bathrooms.
The full report is here. (pdf)

Let's discuss, shall we?
Grays: While I see the gray emerging in magazines, I haven't seen a lot of gray in our California climate. I suspect when we do, it will be a lot of warm or red-based grays vs. the cooler blue-based grays. Driftwood as opposed to platinum, if you will.
Transitional vs. traditional: The transitional style can also be regional. I see it in everything except the period homes.
Quartz: I strongly suspect the two main reasons for the popularity of quartz are: a) it doesn't require sealing and b) a homeowner doesn't have to dash out to the stone yard, pick a stone, then dash out again to approve the template.
Growth: Out here, the figures are the opposite, spurred by the tech re-boom and pent-up demand. Our kitchens have been much larger, with more additions than we've seen in a long time. Bathrooms have also grown more custom. For this, I credit the high-end box of chocolates known as Houzz. Almost everything in Houzz in in the 5- and 6- figure ranges, but it enables homeowners to see what is possible…and they want it.
Any of these trends on your home improvement or client request list?

The Chiefland Middle School Braves football team is off to a great start.
The Braves have won their first three games. They beat Ft. White 55–0, Bradford County 44-24, and Union County 30 -12.
The team is coached by Tony Phillips, Andy Kidd, and Pat Burton. According to the coaches the team is young, but the players are really coming together as a team and their effort is great.
The Braves have two games left in the regular season schedule: Tuesday at home against Ruth Raines, and Oct. 19 away against Bronson.
Trenton High School's football team came to Chiefland this past Friday with its high-powered offense, which had averaged more than 400 yards a game.
They had weapons in running backs Brandon Stone and Tyler Brown, who continued their onslaught with a combined five touchdowns in the Tigers' 42-20 win over the Indians in a District 5-1A battle.
But Chiefland had Jamantye Thompson.
On Sept. 22, the Chiefland Women's Golf Association played a game called "T's and F's", where only the nine holes starting with these initials count, minus one half the golfer's handicap. The association had 17 ladies enjoying the slightly cooler weather along with the competition and great exercise.
Chiefland golf team stays undefeated
Chiefland High School's golf team narrowly defeated Sante Fe on the links last Wednesday at Chiefland Golf and Country Club 163-166 to remain undefeated at 4-0 for he season.
Matt Tyson led all scores with a 38, which included a birdie and an eagle. Alden Davis had a 41, Tim and Jake Reidy had 42, Logan Smith had 44 and Justin Ivey had a 48.
Chiefland High School's volleyball team outlasted a surging Williston this past Monday night, defeating the Red Devils in five games, 25-19, 25-16, 21-25, 22-25, 15-13.
The Indians were in control in the first game, rebounding from a 3-1 deficit to eventually take the lead at 12-11, thanks to two kills by Taylore Fuller. Chiefland expanded its lead to 18-13, holding out for the Game 1 win with a 5-3 run.
The Bulldogs surged to score 18 unanswered points in the second half to top the Eagles last Friday night.
Bronson took an 8-0 lead in the second quarter, off an 11-yard touchdown run by Matt Olavarria. The Eagles completed the two-point conversion with a pass from Ben Landon to Quintell Coleman. On defense, Coleman also came up with a big innterception with 3 minutes, 30 seconds to go in the first half and opened the third quarter with another pick.
Any coach will tell you it takes time for a young football team to hit its stride. A squad has to take its lumps before it can find true success on the field.
Chiefland is facing these challenges head on right now, dropping to 0-4 last Friday after a 23-0 shutout on the road against Wildwood.
The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge hosts a free Youth Hunt Dec. 11 and 12 this year. Youth hunters 15 and younger can have their parent or a hunting mentor call the Lower Suwannee NWR to reserve one of the 100 permits.
On Sept. 8, our group was host to players from seven courses to play in our "Gator Golf" competition. The University of Florida sent seven players. Quail Heights sent seven. Williston Golf Course sent two, and Haile Plantation sent two, Gainesville Country Club had two players, and Lake City Country Club sent four players. Chiefland Golf Association had 18 of our own ladies competing.
Chiefland High School softball standout Taylore Fuller has verbally committed to play for the University of Florida.
Fuller said she committed to the Gators after her and her and her family met with the school Wednesday. Fuller will have a scholarship to play at UF.
"After all the hard work that I've put in, and now it's paid off," Fuller said Friday. "This is what I was working for in softball my whole life."

If Mr. Harnchin and Mr. Gambino had not been there that day, the truth may have never come out. I was crouched behind a thick, green hedge at the edge of our yard when I heard the scream. The rock I'd thrown had made a direct hit.
"Move!" a heavy voice scolded me. Around the hedge I ran. Sprinting toward the tearful moan, I could feel warm breath over each shoulder. Mr. Harnchin and Mr. Gambino were at my side.
When we reached my little sister, she was sprawled on the sidewalk. Thick red blood bubbled from a small, round hole at the top of her head.
Harnchin and Gambino, forever decked in dark black suits—Gambino with a matching top hat—pushed my forearms under her small frame. Together, we carried her up the front walkway to the house.
"Oh my! What happened?" the sweet, middle-aged babysitter asked as she plucked my 4-year-old sister from my arms, rushed her into the kitchen and gently set a wet dish towel on the bloody wound.
"I didn't mean to throw it," I stuttered. "I mean, I didn't mean to hit her. I was just trying to scare her. I mean, surprise her."
Of course Mr. Harnchin and Mr. Gambino were there that day. They were there everyday. Seeming sometimes like a hefty pair of high-level bodyguards, and other times like overgrown playmates, they were with me on almost every adventure of my feverish childhood. From as far back as I can remember, to about age 7, they were my best friends.
My imaginary best friends.
According to a study published last year, imaginary friends are pretty common—65 percent of the kids surveyed reported having one. And not just preschoolers. Six- and 7-year-olds have imaginary friends too, the study found.
Although great minds such as Sigmund Freud considered it abnormal for kids to interact with pretend friends and some parents might worry about these invisible people and their influence, psychologists say they can actually help kids cope with boredom and transitions, as well as stimulate cognitive and emotional development. So, it's OK for parents to humor a child with an imaginary friend, say experts. But, like almost anything else a child dives into, there are limits to what's healthy for them.
Playing along
In good times and bad, I never hid Harnchin and Gambino. Everyone knew them—my parents, my four sisters and two brothers, the neighborhood kids, even my preschool teacher.
To an extent, they all played along. No, my mother never went so far as to pack them a school lunch, but everyone knew Gambino was the shorter one with the mustache and top hat, that Harnchin was taller and more serious. They resembled Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie if they had somehow transformed from Muppets into men. Italian men…in retro suits.
Were Harnchin and Gambino my alter egos? Or were they simply Bert and Ernie climbing out of the tube to continue the fun when the TV was dark? On the day of the rock-throwing incident, they apparently felt compelled to serve as my conscience.
"That's not a bad observation," says Frances Stott, a licensed clinical psychologist and dean of academic affairs at Chicago's Erikson Institute, a graduate program for child development.
"In general, imaginary friends provide companionship, but they can serve many functions," says Stott. "A lack of playmates, or a change in the family—like a move—can precipitate an imaginary friend. They can be a coping mechanism for that change, and can help a child develop his or her own self-awareness and even self-criticism. An imaginary friend can give a child a stronger sense of control."
The recent study, conducted jointly by the University of Oregon and the University of Washington, described imaginary friends as "powerful tools" for young children, providing them an ear to talk to about troubling things and giving children a place to explore the issues in their lives.
While the study acknowledges that children with and without imaginary friends are generally the same, those with pretend companions—some children have more than one—tend to be better at seeing things from other people's perspectives.
The big surprise in this study found that children ages 6 to 7 are just as likely to have imaginary friends as 3- and 4 year-old kids. Parents of older children with imaginary friends may not be aware of them, perhaps because these children sense that their parents would not approve.
In the past, it was believed that the preschool years were the peak time imaginary friends were revealed and that, like a favorite toy, they were essentially discarded shortly thereafter.
According to one of the study's researchers, it's likely that imaginary friends never fully desert an individual but, instead, morph into different forms. She is currently conducting a study on novelists and their relationships with the characters they create.
It's positive—mostly
In most cases, parents of children who create their own characters have nothing to worry about, Stott insists. "It's really a wonderful thing because an imaginary friend can play such a positive role in cognitive and emotional development. This is something to enjoy, the same way that you watch your child pretend or play in the blocks corner."
What if your child throws the blocks and blames his imaginary friend for the dangerous deed? That can simply be a sign that he understands the difference between right and wrong but isn't ready to assume full responsibility for his actions.
If shifting responsibility to the invisible man is a pattern, or if a child seems virtually unreachable when engaged with his imaginary friend, Stott suggests that parents consult their pediatrician. The same is true if a child with an imaginary friend shows no interest in interacting with other children his age.
"If a child is past age 6 and is still not easily talked out of some of those negative behaviors, then it could be a sign that something's not right," says Dr. Lori Walsh, a pediatrician with Glenbrook Pediatrics. "It could be psychological. It could be fear. It could even be a sign that a child's parents are controlling and an imaginary friend gives him some control, some life of his own."
Parent's role
Typically, however, she says these behaviors are still something that can be moved along by parents. "When a child blames his friend for something he did, it's important for parents to basically say, 'We know it didn't happen that way, but we still love you.' They need to keep reinforcing this, using it as a learning tool for next time," she says.
For children over age 6, parents might also establish ground rules that set limits on behavior relating to an imaginary friend, according to Walsh. "A pediatrician can help in this process and, of course, should be able to determine if a particular behavior is a potential problem or nothing to worry about."
Most often, she says, it's nothing to worry about. "Sometimes parents feel funny about going on with the show, and they really just need to hear that it's normal. Overall, kids who have imaginary friends are showing real good signs of complex thinking because they're already able to integrate feelings and thoughts."
Mr. Harnchin and Mr. Gambino faded into the depths of my mind long ago. I never really looked back to consider the role they may have played in my young life until I met my son's friend, Emma. According to Johnny, Emma's hair is long, dark and curly. Her family recently moved from Ft. Wayne, Ind., to Michigan City, near our home in LaPorte, Ind.
Emma has given Johnny several cool T-shirts, a toy racetrack and his first school backpack. She also gives him advice and, unlike his real life 6-year-old sister, never seems to be tough on him.
Johnny is 4, and Emma's age varies from 5 to 15. Apparently, Emma's mom says it's OK to throw food on the floor if you don't like it. When I threatened to call Emma's mother for confirmation on this, Johnny didn't seem the least bit flustered.
At times he acknowledges that Emma is imaginary. I recently asked Johnny if Emma has an imaginary friend. In an instant he replied, "No, but she has a little brother named Dewey." Dewey?
Unlike my buddies Harnchin and Gambino, who in my mind were always in plain sight right next to me, Emma is never here when the rest of us are around. Johnny either just saw her at school or outside or he just talked to her on the phone. The rest of us always seem to have just missed her.
Conjuring a friend
My wife and I were initially a bit curious that Johnny's imaginary friend was a girl.
But Stott is not surprised. "There are so many different things going at the same time at that age," she says. "Gender identity is being solidified, roles are being defined and language is becoming easier. With an older sister to look up to, and adapt to, it makes perfect sense that Emma is a girl."
Stott points out that imaginary friends don't always emerge in human form. For some children, they may be invisible objects or animals. Children who do not have imaginary friends often become attached to actual objects, such as special toys or stuffed animals. "Just like imaginary friends, these objects provide warmth and comfort to a child," says Stott.
For years, Johnny's older sister has insisted on sleeping with a favorite stuffed animal, a floppy-eared friend known as Big Dog. Obviously, it's more cost-effective when children manufacture best friends in their own mind.
There's no solid explanation of why some kids adopt an imaginary friend as a companion, while others warm up to action figures or stuffed animals. "In many cases, it's the first-born child or an only child who conjures an imaginary friend because they are reacting to some level of loneliness or change in their life," Stott explains. As Dr. Walsh has pointed out, imaginary friends can be a response to some fear or anxiety.
Our neighbor's son invented an invisible friend at age 3, just as he had begun making regular visits to the hospital to deal with a severe case of asthma. Not so ironically, Boompie—as the friend was affectionately known—also suffered from asthma.
"Kevin just started talking about Boompie when he was in the hospital," recalls Kevin's mom, Sheri Cox. "He had all this information about Boompie, about Boompie's asthma, about Boompie's sister Kayla. Every time Kevin went to the hospital Boompie was there too. I think he really needed someone to go through this with him."
Saying goodbye
Boompie hovered over Kevin's life until the hospital visits ended, at age 10. He is now 20 and in good health. "We always talked about visiting Disney World when Kevin got better," Cox says. "When we went, Kevin said Boompie went with us. But he didn't come back," she laughs. "According to Kevin, Boompie and his sister Kayla got a job at Disney World. I guess they're still there."
Cox, a fifth-grade teacher in Gary, Ind., continues to share the story of Boompie with a each new crop of students.
"Oh, they're really excited to hear about it," she says. "With a class of about 20, there's always one or two who share their own story about an imaginary friend."
According to the University of Oregon and University of Washington study, at the preschool age, girls are more likely to have imaginary friends. By age 7, however, the trend is just as common in boys. The study also suggests children with imaginary friends are less shy and more sociable.
Other research has supported the idea that children who have more imaginative play are more likely to be creative.
But it's just as likely the imaginary friend is a coping mechanism, says Stott. "In my opinion, they are adapting to various issues in a positive way, and they are developing in a terrific way."
Try telling that to my younger sister, who still wonders why Mr. Harnchin and Mr. Gambino didn't exercise their powers of influence before I threw that rock.

Hi to everyone,
I haven't been on in awhile. Mom has been really busy. My human brother Erik got married and we just found out they will be having a baby in October.
So Mom has been running around trying to get every little thing done.
I have healed from my hernia operation quite nicely and am doing fine. Still just hanging with my sister's Sadie and Weanie, taking walks and picking on the felines in the house. I am enjoying the nice weather we have been having which means much more outdoor time. I Love to Chase my Feline sisters in the yard and bark at the neighbors when they pass by the fence. I think I will try to get Mom to take me for a walk tonight when she gets hame from work.
Well I think I'm going to go out back and play with the kitties.
Till next time Bark Bark!
Happy Valentines to everyone today :)
Hi everyone!
I'm doing so much better! I get my stitches out in 5 days I can't wait!
I've just been kicking back with Mom since she's been sick. Playing in the back yard with Sadie and Weanie and teasing my cat sisters and brothers.
I don't think I have to have surgery on the other side Mom says it looks Ok!
I'm happy about that.
Well not much more to say till later.
Woof Woof!!!

In a year in which a clear-cut favorite for the Tewaaraton Trophy didn't emerge during Championship Weekend, it's at least reasonable to imagine any of the five finalists taking home the hardware because there's a case to be made for and against each player.
This year's Player of the Year Watch and Tewaaraton coverage topped all previous seasons, so check out the arc of how the race has developed over the last three months, and check out the interviews with each of the finalists that were shot Wednesday night that the University Club in Washington, D.C.
Peter Baum, A, Jr, Colgate
(67G, 30A in 18 games)
He was the nation's leading scorer and he led his team to its first-ever NCAA Quarterfinal appearance. Coach Mike Murphy calls him the Raiders' hardest worker. Won the USILA's Enners Award.
CJ Costabile, LSM, Sr, Duke
(7G, 4A, 144GB, 52.3%F/O in 20 games)
A first-team All-American and the USILA's MacLaughlin Award winner for best midfielder, led the Blue Devils to the NCAA Semifinals.
Will Manny, A, Jr, UMass
(44G, 33A in 16 games)
The leading scorer for the 15-1 Minutemen who went undefeated through the regular season, Manny was a first-team All-American.

Peugeot manager rules out merger with GM's Opel: report
BERLIN (Reuters) - PSA Peugeot Citroen (PEUP.PA: Quote) has ruled out a merger with General Motors' (GM.N: Quote) Opel division as part of their alliance, Autogazette reported on Monday, citing a Peugeot manager.
"This has never been an issue during the discussions," the magazine quoted Olivier Dardart, head of the French carmaker's German operations as saying. "The point (of the alliance) is not to reduce personnel."
Since its announcement in February, the planned alliance between Peugeot and GM has drawn investor skepticism as the French automaker's finances worsen, prompting thousands of domestic job cuts under close supervision by Socialist President Francois Hollande's government.
The two manufacturers on Thursday scrapped plans for a joint mid-size car program, though signed agreements on three other vehicle projects and engine cooperation.

Obama in 2008 stumped heavily on college campuses and his campaign, political experts have said, took targeted the next generation through its use of social media.
"Now Obama isn't the hope and change candidate He's the status quo," said McAdams. "The young voter surge in 2008 will recede quite a bit."
Young and liberal
Young voters tend to lean liberally on social issues, and the Democrats have carried their vote since 1992, when then-candidate Bill Clinton secured voters from 46 percent of the 18- to 24-year-old demographic. Incumbent President George H.W. Bush took 33 percent, while political outsider Ross Perot gathered 21 percent, according to the Roper Center.
"Young voters are more vulnerable to the zeitgeist, to the spirit of the age, and are more likely to be swept away with enthusiasms," said McAdams.
A case in point is Lauren Anderson, a junior majoring in journalism at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"I was a staunch liberal for a long time in high school and early college," said Anderson, also vice president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Christian student organization. "But I've become disillusioned since Obama was elected. … We haven't seen real improvement on the problems that we've faced when (President George W.) Bush was in office." Anderson pointed to the escalation of violence in Afghanistan and high unemployment.
Enter Ron Paul. Like Perot in 1992, Paul has little chance of winning the general election, or the Republican primary for that matter. He's at 12 percent nationally for the GOP nod, according to a recent poll by Reason-Rupe, a public opinion research project tracking attitudes about government. The survey of 468 Republicans and "Republican-leaners" was conducted March 10-20, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent.
Paul, however, like Obama, has incubated an enthusiastic core following among college students and recent grads looking for something new in a political leader. Paul's supporters include Anderson.
Paul's 2012 campaign has capitalized on many of Obama's successes from 2008 — first and foremost its grassroots organization. Youth for Ron Paul and Young Americans for Liberty, an offshoot of Students for Ron Paul, aims to engage and mobilize young voters on college campuses nationwide.
The other GOP candidates don't have the same kind of active youth organizations.
New media's force
The 76-year-old Paul is an Internet heavyweight.
"Ron Paul" was the 10th most searched news query on Google in 2011, according to the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit journalism organization.The only other political person on the list was "Osama bin Laden," who finished seventh.
On YouTube, a search for "Ron Paul" brings up 278,000 videos. The following searches yielded these video results:
- "Rick Santorum" with 27,800
- "Mitt Romney" with 46,200
- "Newt Gingrich" with 36,500
- "Barack Obama" with 266,000
- Paul at more than 10 million
- Santorum at fewer than 3 million
- Romney with a little more than 6 million
- Gingrich, former U.S. House Speaker from Georgia, with a little less than 10 million views, although social network reports have disputed that number
- Barack Obama Obama crushed all competitors with 178,432,076
- Paul at 146,000
- Santorum at 185,000
- Romney at 404,000
- Gingrich at 1.4 million, although PeekYou's PeekAnalytics, a social audience measurement organization, has reported that only 8 percent of his followers are human, the others are spam and anonymous sources.
- Romney with more than 1.5 million;
- Paul with fewer than 1 million;
- Gingrich with close to 300,000;
- Santorum with less than 200,000.
There appear to be some interesting connections between social media users and politicians.
- People who "like" Paul or Obama also "like" "Family Guy," an edgy cartoon series.
- People who "like" the other GOP candidates also "like" "The Bible", the report found.
- Paul supporters "like" "The Office," "The Daily Show" and Pink Floyd.
- People who "like" the other GOP candidates also "like" Starbucks and "Small Business Saturday."
"And just remember, you don't have to have 51 percent; you need this irate and tireless minority willing to start brush fires in the minds of man."

Cutting tile on a diagonal
How do you cut tile diagonally in a straight line? I have a small wet saw.
1. mark the tile and follow the line
2. make a jig that would hold the tile 45º rotated
You can measure from one corner and then measure the other corner and make a line, and cut, cut, cut......
I can't cut a straight line:censored: without a guide. I can't draw a straight line either. LOL I CAN paint a straight line, if that makes any sense.
I've been searching and found something here called a Boomerangle. I'm going to try to find one tomorrow.
Forget the wet saw......
How about you score your tile with a scoring tool, then cut a coat hanger, tape it to a table, and place your tile on so that the rod of the coat hanger is directly below the line of where you want the tile to break.
Apply pressure and voila, the tile is snaped......
Use a ruler to draw a straight line.......:eek:
I'll try that. It might work. I've called around trying to find the boomerangle locally but no one knows what I'm talking about.
Oh, I have to use a ruler to draw a straight line.:whistling2:
If you are cutting on a 45* angle just use a speed square against the fence and the tile.

It's a Small World After All
TIME – Spectator Column – May 17, 1993
It's a Small World After All
WALT DISNEY, ACCORDING TO A FORTHCOMING BIOGRAphy, was a secret FBI informer, ; and even slipped the bureau screenplays to vet for un-Americanisms. One of the scripts J. Edgar Hoover found objectionable was the 1965 Dean Jones comedy That Darn Cat. What a difference a few decades make. No sooner are we urged to accept retroactively the implausible vision of Hoover in bra and panties than the Walt Disney Co. buys Miramax, the little art-movie studio responsible for today's most un-American films, including Bob Roberts and, of course, The Crying Game.
Disney is no longer run by an anti-Semitic right-wing snitch (indeed, it is run, like almost every important Hollywood entity, by thoughtful Jewish liberals), but its revenues still derive from a shiny, profoundly Middle American sort of mass appeal; Beauty and the Beast and Disney World require that tens of millions of people buy the product. The assimilation by Disney of Miramax is interesting not just because it turns Jiminy Cricket and a black transvestite into corporate siblings, but also because their movies' potential audiences are so vastly different in scale. The Crying Game barely qualifies as mass-market — about 10 million Americans have seen the film — even though it is the most successful art movie of all time.
Apart from flukes, how big is the American audience for high-end cultural artifacts, for unsettling movies and respectable fiction, for poetry, for painting — hell, for Karen Finley? Has it, as Philip Roth whined to a New York Times interviewer, shriveled past the point of redemption? "There's been a drastic decline, even a disappearance, of a serious readership," said Roth, whose new novel, Operation Shylock, is selling poorly. "We are down to a gulag archipelago of readers."
Let's count them. The broadest enumeration is the easiest and most definitive. What single cultural act unequivocally defined an American as a member of the upper middle class? Watching The Civil War on PBS. So we start with that big tent and those 14 million people. Some read TIME, some Vanity Fair; some idolize Calvin Trillin, some Bill Buckley; all 14 million consider themselves pretty darned intelligent.
Distilling that group to its culturally ambitious core requires that we drop down a whole order of magnitude; that is, only a tenth as many people go to a boffo art film as watch a big TV show. The dependable subtitled-movie audience is around 2 million or 3 million, of whom maybe half go to any one ordinary hit.
The market for the next most popular unpopular art form, literary fiction, & is smaller once again by an order of magnitude. Around 2.5 million Americans saw Cinema Paradiso in movie theaters; 250,000 Americans bought Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera in hardcover. Every thoughtful reader in America did not, despite Knopf's best efforts, buy the Garcia Marquez novel, meaning that the potential audience for any given book is larger. "It might even be a million," says Knopf's Ann Close, who edits Alice Munro and Norman Rush, among others. On the other hand, all the actual buyers of any typical serious novel would fit in Fenway Park, or even a Vegas showroom.
Readers of poetry? Drop down another order of magnitude. The total American readership for verse, a mainstream publisher of poetry says, is 100,000, give or take. Less than half that many people attend performances by artists of the smear-themselves-with-mustard-and- recite-imitation-Kerouac-over-a-sound- track-of-drill-presses variety.
Where significant connoisseurship is also a function of significant money — what might be called the socialite arts — American micro-audiences become exquisitely tiny. No more than a few hundred people have the desire and wherewithal to buy important contemporary paintings. The most rarefied realm of the cultural elite, however, is occupied by people seriously (pathologically?) committed to couture fashion. How many Americans regularly buy couture originals at $15,000 a pop? "I can guess," says Richard Martin, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, and then he does, astoundingly: "Fifty."
It seems right that there were more Branch Davidians than there are haute- fashionable women in America. Nor should we worry too much that only a dozen or so U.S. poets earn as much as $2,000 a year from selling their poems. After all, Dr. Johnson's Rambler, in which he published some of his most enduring work, had a circulation of less than 500 in the 1750s. And the Age of Enlightenment proceeded despite the low sales.

text: As part of the plan, the Transcept Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right, which are referred to as "rights," for each outstanding share of Transcept common stock. The dividend will be payable to holders of record as of the close of business on September 27, 2013. Any shares of Transcept common stock issued after the record date will be issued together with the rights.The rights will be exercisable if a person or group, without the approval of the Transcept Board, acquires, or obtains the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.99 percent or more of the Transcept common stock. The rights also will be exercisable if a person or group that already beneficially owns 4.99 percent or more of the Transcept common stock, without Board approval, acquires additional shares (other than as a result of a dividend or a stock split). Existing Transcept stockholders that, as of September 13, 2013, beneficially own in excess of 4.99 percent of the common stock will be "grandfathered in" at their current ownership level. If the rights become exercisable, all holders of rights, other than the person or group triggering the rights, will be entitled to purchase Transcept common stock at a 50 percent discount. Rights held by the person or group triggering the rights will become void and will not be exercisable. Beneficial ownership of shares is calculated under the plan in accordance with the applicable rules of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The calculations are complex, and stockholders should contact Transcept if they have any questions regarding their ownership, the 4.99 percent trigger amount or any other matters related to the plan. The Board of Directors has established procedures by which it will consider requests by stockholders to exempt certain acquisitions of Transcept common stock from the plan if the Board determines that doing so would not limit or impair the availability of the tax benefits or is otherwise in the best interests of Transcept.

rusted brake lines :/
Well it seems like my brake lines are corroded really bad and need to be replaced. Iv never done brakes of any sort of trucks or cars, im more of a motorcycle guy. If i got the lines from an auto store, how hard would it be to install them on a f250 heavy duty 7.3 PSD . Is this something that I can do in a matter of minutes or hours in the drive way or would i need a lift to get under in tight places? It looked like an easy job from lookin down the hood but i dont want to get into something I cant finish. What do you guys think?

My absolutely favourite space name is Vega - as nameberry says "relating to one of the largest and brightest stars in the heavens". I think it might go well in sibset with Terra. My other favourite space names not included on your list include Selena (moon), Estrella (star), Astrid (star) and Gaia (mother earth).
From your choices I'd prefer Luna Marsden or Luna Faye; not a fan of Nova (especially in sibset with Terra) or Mona; also not a fan of Faye or Marsden as a first name.
1. Terra Halley and Vega Marsden
2. Terra Halley and Vega Faye
3. Terra Halley and Luna Vega Faye
4. Terra Halley and Luna Marsden
5. Terra Halley and Selena Faye
6. Terra Halley and Astrid Faye
7. Terra Halley and Astrid Vega Marsden

Circular references are really _NO_ problem in Java as long as they appear in the same source tree. You only really have problems when you have circular references across source trees (this is HIGHLY undesirable and really should be avoided). Now that you have packages, you need to use the import statement just like you would to use, say java.io.InputStream.

Lowkey – Soundtrack To The Struggle [Review]
After the runaway success of Lowkey's debut album, Dear Listener, in 2009, Lowkey's status has risen and his support base has grown along with it. So much so, upon the release of his sophomore album, Soundtrack To The Struggle this week, the album appeared in the top ten of the iTunes album chart and clocked up a position in the official midweek charts; pretty impressive for an independent artist, eh?
The 26-track album features 20 tracks, along with 6 insightful skits which help to drive home the themes and messages behind the songs themselves.
The first quarter of the album has a triumphant, inspirational vibe with anthems such as Too Much, the Lauryn Hill-sampled beat features the divine voice of Palestinian songstress, Shadia Mansour singing the chorus, whilst Lowkey comments on money and how it incites greed. He spits "Money can buy power, but it can't buy respect. Money can't buy sleep, but it can buy a bed. Money can't buy you love, but it can buy sex. Do you possess money? Or by money are you possessed?"
Voices of the Voiceless, features well-known political activist and American artist, Immortal Technique. The track sees the two emcees go hard over the despondent beat whilst sharing their strong opinions on war and political issues.
By this point, you're probably thinking this is just another "conscious rap" album, right? Well, actually, you couldn't be more wrong. The album features many layers, this is proven in my highlight track, Dreamers. The track features moving vocals from Mai Khalil and documents Lowkey's experience of loss and death. He rhymes about a friend who committed suicide and speaks on his regret of not offering help before her death. "I wish I fixed her pain, I should'a, could'a, would'a tried, but I took it personally and turned to leave, and to this day I'm still haunted by the words she screamed.."
SBTV Dreamers Acoustic session:
Next up, we're treated to the return of UK hip hop royalty and East London native, Klashnekoff. The track, Blood, Sweat and Tears sees Lowkey and Klashnekoff go back to back over the triumphant beat, whilst they chant the chorus "I'm still here! Pushing after several years, I'm still here! Standing strong, never in fear! I'll be still here! After the dust settles and clears, I'll be still here! After the blood, sweat and the tears."
As we move towards the end of the album, Lowkey takes a more reflective approach in tracks such as, Dear England. In this track, Lowkey gives his opinion on recent controversial events, such as; the UK riots, the death of Smiley Culture and Rupert Murdoch's political influence. The track acts as an accurate reflection of the current frustrations felt by many people in our country's most troubled areas.
Continuing the reflective theme, we're greeted with Haunted. This emotional track sees Lowkey sharing his feelings towards the suicide of his brother at the tender age of 18. He reflects on the current situations and challenges he finds himself facing, with criminal and legal issues relating to his public image. The track opens with "My brother died when I was 18, Now I'm 24, and I keep having the same dream.." and goes on to express, "I was born to fight oppression, but I'm traumatised and stressin', with this borderline depression, swear I'm haunted by your presence."
The album comes to a close with Million March, another heartfelt track which aids the listener to sink deeper in to the mind of the rapper. It sees Lowkey recite the infectious chorus of My Soul whilst Mai Khalil features to deliver yet another passionate vocal.
To conclude, Soundtrack To The Struggle solidifies Lowkey's position at the forefront of UK hip hop, with intelligent lyricism, pertinent subject matter and on-point production; the album is already being hailed a modern classic, a title the album more than deserves. It serves as an example of the endless possibilities of achievement for independent success with hard work, passion, commitment, and a love for the music.

I was sitting, this morning, thinking and meditating. Trying to place myself in a calming, quiet, peaceful place. As I silently breathed in God's air and exhaled all stress, these thoughts came to me and I decided to share them with you. I am a firm believer in the power and the magic of "love". I believe that we are created from love, and therefore that love capacity resides in each and every one of us. When I meet and/or speak to someone, I determine to see, meet and speak to that
I've tried, I did well while both were in reasonably good health. But now with Mother's fall resulting in a broken elbow; I find that I must accept my limitations. I can not physically care for her. I have irrated my shoulder, pulled a muscle in my back that can not heal while I continue to lift her when she slips, catch her when she starts to fall. She will not listen to me because I'm the daughter. I thought I could do this as last year went so well. But this year has been terrible 2 stays
I'm feeling out of sorts at the moment and can't figure it out. My health is pretty stable but I think I'm unhappy, tired of coping. Coping with everything, tired of dealing with my Mother's idiosyncrasies, tired of dealing with my Father's spurts of temper because he believes I'm ignorant. I know it's just a mood and I'll get over it.
It's just this trapped feeling, I'm working around it, getting rid of it. But still, every now and then it gets to me...... Like today. I just
It's so hard to repair bad credit. I went through a rough period a while back and am now being denied credit because of a couple of bad debts. I have gone round and round with the credit bureau trying to get things off my record because of the statute of limitations, etc. I finally got so fed up with the process that I hired a law firm that specializes in this kind of thing to help me. I really don't know if I will get any positive results or not. I didn't know what else to do as I don't know
Hang in there, that's all I seem to hear. Besides my father's heart condition, now my mother has one also. Her stay in the hospital shocked her so much that her mind is really deteriorating. I'm having a bad day physically and she keeps repeating herself. She also said she couldn't find her hearing aids, so in the middle of trying to cook lunch, I had to go look for them. Couldn't find. Them anywhere. 2 hours later we discover that they were in her ears. This evening while I was cooking dinner,

PlayBook OS 2.0 Drops For Lucky RIM Fans
Jason Mick
February 21, 2012 10:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New OS packs numerous improvements
What has Research in Motion, Ltd.'s (
been cooking up
these past few months? Well, amid
a leadership shakeup
a string of troubles
that stewed much pessimism, RIM has
managed to bake
a major
operating system update
for its
PlayBook tablet
, which patches up many of the device's weaknesses.
A definite positive sign is that RIM appears to have been listening to the criticism, as its improvements
largely line up with things that early reviews panned
. New features include:
A new unified email client, which compiles your messages from Facebook, Twitter, and your various email accounts
A new Calendar app with social network access
A new Contacts app that syncs its information with Facebook
BlackBerry Bridge, an app that turns your BlackBerry into a wireless keyboard for the PlayBook -- or which leverages the PlayBook to offer big screen reading for emails and content
An enhanced web browser
The first PlayBook-compatible Android app ports, via new additions to BlackBerry App World
Improved virtual keyboard
BlackBerry Balance to check data usage
Improved document editing
Print to Go app
[Image Source: Engadget]
The build of the release is 18.104.22.16871, and it weighs in at 505 MB.
Early reviews of the PlayBook offered general praise for its form factor and hardware. But they called the operating system unpolished. With the new update perhaps the PlayBook can finally be considered a tablet to be contended with.
It's a bit late for RIM when it comes to both
tablet and smartphone market share
, but the fact that the company is responding to criticism proactively with improvements is a very good sign. The company is
still very profitable
-- so
like Microsoft
Corp. (
) it has a fair amount of money to throw at reinvigorating its smartphone efforts.
In related news, RIM has also aired a new enterprise-aimed management tool called BlackBerry Mobile Fusion. In a bit of a concession, the IT software not only supports BlackBerries, but also Apple, Inc.'s (
) iPhone and various Android smartphones. Support for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 was not mentioned.
"I mean, if you wanna break down someone's door, why don't you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone!" -- Jon Stewart on Apple and the iPhone

I like Sig and XD a lot. Sig is makes a solid accurate gun. I haven't tried that exact model of Sig, but for me the XD is better. It just a feel and ergonomic thing though. I'm not much of a Glock fan. Aside from feel and sites the Glocks feel more snappy on the recoil to me.
I'm not sure why you want to sell the Sig. If you like it I'd keep it and maybe add the XD if like that in addition. If you aren't happy with the Sig I wouldn't think of the XD like a Glock even though they have some strong visual similarity I like the XD much more and I like the addition of the grip safety on the XD.
I can shoot equally well with either Sig or XD.

Everyone who voted for the other one should vote for this one too!

This one will work so much better as a shirt. Everyone who voted for the other one PLEASE vote for this one instead, otherwise you'll all be getting shirts that don't print well.

Thanks Guys! I agree with the O.P. look. It does remind me of some of the old surfer designs you'd see in the late 70s and early 80s. I loved those. But then I also had Dolphin shorts.

yeah you're right, but even so. It would definatly have to depend on where you live in order to not get your ass kicked for wearing this shirt. I know where I'm at in Texas it wouldn't go very well. But after reading what the creator said it kinda makes sense now. "An amazing amount of frantic motion, emotion, and turmoil immediately rush to mind, all from 3 simple, minimalistic frames. "
love it on olive! great work, and the olive is a great color in person. definitely gmv, and would need to buy a couple extras for friends

Have to agree here about the brown in the fog. I won't be buying anymore asphalt or brown shirts for awhile. I have way too many. When I saw the asphalt ban this derby, I was sooooo hoping that it meant a shirt with a brighter color would fog. But, 3 of the 4 are brown. All great designs, but just can't justify adding this color....especially for Spring and Summer. But, there are new wooters everyday, so I'm sure they will all sell well....just not for me.
As for the sailboat next to the colossal wave...doesn't it look like it's sucking the wind out of my sails. Laughed outloud when I saw them side-by-side in the entries.
klswoot wrote:Thanks Mia! Thank you also for your advice on the sails and the water. I've no knowledge about sailing, but I do appreciate their aesthetics when they are on the water. Lake Erie was gorgeous yesterday and served for great inspiration. I can hardly wait until all the sailboats are on the Lake. Probably just a few weeks now that it's starting to warm up a little.
you're welcome! I'm glad all the years spent sailing were useful for something other than a suntan and wind-burn. We sail on the ocean here, no lakes. I'm really impressed at the level of detail on your boat and water if you aren't a sailor. very nice.
I'm looking forward to sailing this summer. Finally the kids are old enough not to end up falling overboard! The girls helped my dad with his boat Friday, so boat time is coming soon!
Re: Weeee
Awesome! So many memories of times gone by...
Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I'm definitely gonna save this for later. Maybe I'll expand on it a bit, push the wind a little closer to the foreground.
Too soon? I don't know. Too tasteless? Yes.

And... I have a new favorite shirt in this derby. Awesome work!
Re: The Fastest Animals on Earth
funny concept but a number of things bother me about this design:
cheetahs are light yellow/brown, not dark orange/red ... ? their ears are rounded, not pointed, and this one appears to have some kind of ridiculous overbite. overall the cheetah's face is really strange looking.

Hey everyone, thanks for your comments. I'm glad you like it. It was a little different to make a robot without feeling like I was mocking the genre of robot shirts, but I liked it. I'll cross my fingers and hope for at least a top 50 finish this time.

I feel the need to continue a dialogue about the Hudson trash pickup. Like the earlier writer, I have always been confused as to why our city cannot negotiate on our behalf for trash pickup so that we may have one provider. Due to having five approved trash haulers which all provide the same service, we have no less than 10 loud and heavy trucks up and down our streets each week when we only need two. Setting aside my personal preference to possibly pay this expense on a pre-tax basis through my real estate taxes (it would save many of us money), and even assuming there isn't a general price benefit aggregating the service (certainly there ought to be), wouldn't we all enjoy a break from the visual and auditory noise as well as the decreased wear and tear on the streets from the now requisite weekly five-fold truck traffic?

Time, June 2005
ExxonMobil is raking in profits — and investors want their fair share.
For ExxonMobil, success has bred an odd problem. With oil prices hovering near $50 per barrel recently, the energy behemoth has been churning out profits. Over the past 12 months (through the end of March), earnings gushed to $28 billion — almost 40% above the previous year — on revenues of $306 billion. With minimal debt, the oil giant, based in Irving, Tex., is sitting on a $30 billion hoard of cash. The problem: What will the company do with all that loot?
It is a question that oil watchers, policymakers and, of course, ExxonMobil shareholders are buzzing about. Will the company loosen its purse strings and go on a buying spree? Will it return all that cash to shareholders? Or will the company continue to salt away the dollars for a rainy day — and if so, for what specific purpose?
A company ExxonMobil's size routinely spends huge gobs of money. This year alone the company is expected to deploy some $16 billion on capital projects. Among other things, ExxonMobil is pushing heavily into the expanding market for liquid natural gas with a $7 billion gas-to-liquids foray in Qatar. But the company's projected capital spending is only $1 billion higher than last year, and even CEO Lee Raymond knows that some shareholders are frustrated that the company isn't being more aggressive about making investments. "When inevitably you ask me how we manage our cash, I will remind you that we take a long-term perspective," Raymond said to analysts recently. "First, we will not do anything stupid or silly. Secondly, don't expect us to take mechanistic or knee-jerk reactions."
Raymond is no dummy. The oil industry is the classic boom-and-bust business, and managing the booms can be as tough as getting through the busts. In previous periods of high oil prices, there has been an ugly history of overspending on poorly conceived projects that quickly soured. ExxonMobil seems determined not to fall into that trap. The company has produced industry-leading returns in recent years by not zigzagging with every change in oil prices. (It's worth noting that ExxonMobil's earnings are less tied to high prices than are those of other major oil companies.) To keep tabs on its spending, the company requires that all projects of $50 million or more — a small figure for a company of ExxonMobil's heft — must go before a five-member management committee for approval. "They've decided that throwing money at stuff doesn't make sense, unlike oil companies in the past that got high prices and went crazy," says Susan Byrne, chairman of Dallas-based Westwood Management, an investment firm that owns ExxonMobil shares. "They are not going to go on a spending spree."
Other shareholders think they should spend more. ExxonMobil's older fields in North America are in natural decline, yet the company has not cranked up spending on newer fields abroad — while competitors like ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips have begun to do so. "I would love to see them make more investments, especially in some of the areas that have recently reopened, like Libya," says Ted Parrish, co-manager of the Henssler Equity fund, which counts ExxonMobil as its number one holding. Other investors put it more bluntly: "Over time you may have to question whether they are being too disciplined," says John Linehan, manager of T. Rowe Price Value fund, which owns ExxonMobil shares. "If you had told people that we would be in an environment of $50 oil, and capital spending would be as constrained as it is, I think you'd have a lot of people scratching their heads."
The flip side: If the company can't find investment opportunities for all that cash, then why not hand it over to shareholders? ExxonMobil already gives its investors a hefty payout: Last year it returned some $15 billion in the form of dividends and share buybacks. The company recently increased its dividend 7% and announced that it would accelerate its share buybacks by $1 billion a quarter, to $3.5 billion. At that rate, ExxonMobil could repurchase some $14 billion in stock by year-end. That's no small number, yet the company has the capacity to share even more.
Questions about what ExxonMobil might do with its cash are unlikely to die down anytime soon. After all, the company's growth is slowing — Wall Street projects its five-year growth rate at 8%, vs. the industry's 14% — and its share price, after a dramatic run-up last year that pushed the company's market value past that of General Electric, is now off its peak by 16%, at a recent $54. Yet the cash hoard just keeps growing, rising $7 billion in the first quarter alone. "A lot of investors might think that share buybacks and dividends and paying down debt are the way to go," says Robb Parlanti, a senior portfolio manager at Turner Investment Partners (which owns other energy stocks but not Exxon). "But the bigger question is, What are they going to do to grow the company long term?" That's a question that even the most disciplined companies eventually have to answer.

Memories of Bourne End
Upper Bourne End
My brothers and I returned to Bourne End at the end of the war. We had been evacuated to Nottingham. We lived in a small house called "The Nest". It was the last house on the road. Lunnon's Farm backed on to all the houses and a cherry tree was just outside our back garden. On a Sunday we used to go to get Stones ...Read full memory
My Mum
My mum worked at Jacksons mill in Furlong Road where she met my dad and they got married in 1955, I would be enternally grateful if any one out there has any pictures of the mill as I would love to know what it looked like back then.
Jackson's Mill
I grew up in Bourne End and went to the Primary School from 1954 to 1960. My father, Dennis Sharley, was the catering manager at the Mill. I vividly remember collecting newspaper to be weighed and sold for a few shillings. Also fond memories of the annual works outing to Brighton.

Tennessee men's tennis player Matt Berry extended his singles winning streak to nine matches, winning twice Sunday at the Icy Hot/ITA All-American Championships to advance to the qualifying round. The UT sophomore will join Ockie Oosthuizen, who makes his tournament debut in the singles qualifying tournament.
"Today was a great effort from Matt Berry," UT associate head coach Chris Mahony said. "Matt showed a fighting spirit and has built up a lot of confidence by winning nine matches in the last two weekends"
Berry took on a seeded opponent for the second straight round and defeated Purdue's David Robinson 6-2, 6-1. The win advanced the South Africa native to the round of 16, where he met SEC rival Alabama's Eric Molnar. Berry lost the first set but battled back to win the second stanza. Berry won the match when Molnar retired because of cramping.
"Berry did a great job of getting off the court quickly in the morning." Mahony said. "Conserving energy for the battle against the Alabama player who was their No. 3 singles player last year."
Kiril Tcherveniachki dropped his round-of-32 match against San Diego State's Daniel Jung 6-2, 7-6(5). The UT sophomore won his first two matches of the tournament before losing Sunday.
Ben Rogers and Oosthuizen attempt to keep their own win streak alive when they begin play Monday in the doubles qualifying draw. Oosthuizen and Rogers have won all five of their matches this season.

If you wish to see a beating of David Abbott feel free to look at my signature lol :thumbsup:. He was a good fighter but when he returned to the UFC he lost, what? 4 straight matches? But he used to be awesome and knock out people in the worst ways.
tank abott is my fav ufc fighter of all time. win or lose that man always put on a great show
Tank used to be a savage, but he definitely needs to hang it up. Definitely one of the best freestyle fighters I've ever watched. I have a vid of his 600 lb benchpress under "Strength and Power" in the training section.
When you talk about pure fighters Tank Abott comes to mind. No finesse, no flash, and no show. Straight ass whopping. Gotta love him.
Yeah, he either woops someone's a-- or gets his a-- wooped lol. When he used to be in the UFC it was painful watching him knock out people such as the one he gave to John Matua and Hugo Duarte. Then when he returned he got owned in his fights and just wasn't used to the new strategic mixed martial arts style of UFC which increased while he was being a crappy wrestler in WCW lol.
I agree, Tank is no C-level fighter, but he's A-level in entertainment (at least when he fights someone who he can maul).
That i didnt know :( Wrestling just pays the big dollars, UFC is getting there :thumbsup:

Re: Extract XLM data from in Mathematica
It looks more complicated than it is. I was able to do
everything I needed with just two commands. E.g.
retrievedXML = ImportString[XMLdataRecord, "XML",
"NormalizeWhitespace" -> False];
{numbers} = Cases[retrievedXML,
XMLElement["telephonenumbers", _, _],
Infinity] /. XMLElement[_, _, {val_}] :> val;
