Towing my race car with the WRX
Yeah I know..... it's nuts, but I put a hitch on the wagon today and wired it up for tow lights. I'm going to be flat towing my Porsche racer with the wagon :eek: My reasoning goes like this:
It's a Subaru
It has a great suspension on it
I'm easy on clutches (got 115k out of the OE)
New clutch installed last month
I take really good care of my brakes (and always carry spares)
I can't afford another vehicle
I can't afford a gas guzzler
I can't repeat the weekend at Gateway (St. Louis) with a spun rod bearing and no way to get home.
I can race the Porsche [I]and [/I]smoke the M3s and Vettes in Time Trials with the tow vehicle (how many people can do that ?)
I can sleep in the wagon
I can tow a small trailer for other occasional needs
I am taking my chances with going over tow capacity. The factory rating is 2000 with a class 1 hitch. The race car weighs 2400, but I'm flat towing, so there's pretty much no tongue weight. I believe that if driven easy, the drive train and brakes are up to the task. Driven hard, I could be risking big problems. I'll only tow twice this year (I think) and depending on how it goes, will reevaluate for next season.
Life is an adventure !Thumbs Up
Hey wagon, good luck with both the towing and the racing. Snap a few photos of the subie towing the Porsche.
[QUOTE=newtothegame;201946]Hey wagon, good luck with both the towing and the racing. Snap a few photos of the subie towing the Porsche.[/QUOTE]
Definitely snap a few photos, that's got the makings of a great marketing campaign... ;)
Don't have to justify yourself to use tow the car and have fun. Your not the first using your Subie for towing. Its not as bad as the Camaro towing a 22ft boat that I saw in Colorado.
I think they raised the tow rating to 2500lbs on the 2.5L models, didn't they? Just saying, the frame should handle 2400lbs just fine.
I'm driving 1300 miles to Chicago on Thurs to pick up the race car, then back to Hastings NE to race on Fri., and home after the weekend. I'll have a pretty good idea how well the set-up is going to work, with over 1300 tow miles (mostly flat until I get close to home, where the mountains are) Should be a blast, and maybe a just little tiring WTF
Oh, and to add to the danger of it all, I'll have about 400 lbs of spare parts and tools in the car too. Any guesses on what my tow mpg will be ??
I'd get a 4-wheel hitch and not one of those 2-wheel thingies that put stress on the tow vehicle (sounds like you might already have this?). Other than that I think it'd be fine.
How fast do you drive on the highway? That's the real question. If you go 70 the whole way, I say 23mpg.
I'm using this puppy [url=http://www.etrailer.com/pc-TB~2480.htm]Draw-Tite Adjustable Tow Bar, 5,000 lbs. 2480 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com[/url] and magnetic lights. The hitch on the car is a Curt bolt on, class one. It bolts where the rear tie downs mount on the frame rails. It also relocates the outside exhaust hanger.
I hooked up the hardware to my buddies racer (same as mine) and pulled it around a bit today. It felt good, but kicked back a little in turns. I think I'll soften my rear sway bar to remedy that (it's on full stiff, from the last track outing) I'm ready for a road trip.... 2600 miles plus a weekend of racing Sha-frickin'-Zam !! !Thumbs Up
Did you wire up electric trailer brakes?? Might be needed to slow all that momentium.
It actually increased the tow capacity too. If the trailer has brakes....I read that in the owners manual. ;)
[QUOTE=LiL Shoaf;202187]Did you wire up electric trailer brakes?? Might be needed to slow all that momentium.[/QUOTE]
I'm flat towing the car (no trailer) and towed vehicle braking systems get a little spendy. There's a really simple mechanical one though, that I might invest in if I feel like I need it after this trip. [url=http://www.readybrake.com/]Readybrake RV Tow Bars and RV Surge Braking Systems for Car Towing - Night Shift Auto[/url]
$340 for a hitch and some cables? Wow, talk about profit margin
[QUOTE=mosc;202214]$340 for a hitch and some cables? Wow, talk about profit margin[/QUOTE]
It's the brilliant engineering that costs so dearly. There's a fulcrum and everything ;)

Canada's New Democrats seek new budget outlook due to low growth
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA, July 20 (Reuters) - Canada's opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) asked the country's Parliamentary Budget Officer on Monday to update federal budget figures in light of a sharply weaker economic forecast from the Bank of Canada.
Canada's Conservative government, which is facing an election in October, has pledged to balance the books this year for the first time in almost a decade. But the economy's struggles since last year's plunge in prices for oil, a major Canadian export, have raised doubts about whether this can be achieved.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer, Jean-Denis Frechette, has a mandate to provide independent analysis to the country's lawmakers.
"The downgrade in the Canadian economic forecast is likely to have a significant impact on the fiscal projections included in budget 2015," NDP Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen, the left-leaning party's spokesman on finance, wrote Frechette.
The NDP have pulled ahead of the Conservatives in recent opinion polls, with the economy seen as a factor.
The government's budget in April forecast a narrow surplus of C$1.4 billion ($1.1 billion) in the fiscal year that started on April 1, but that was predicated on economic growth of 2.0 percent in 2015.
At the time, the Bank of Canada projected a similar growth level, 1.9 percent, for 2015. But the central bank downgraded that to 1.1 percent on Wednesday and said the economy likely shrank in the first two quarters.
The bank's lower forecast has prompted talk in Ottawa that instead of a 2015-16 surplus, which would have been the first in eight years, there may now be a narrow deficit. Continued...

About Me
Taking a moment to describe myself is like looking in to a mirror with a distorted reflection...
Pressing the edge a little bit with creativity. Some days I feel like I am bursting at the seams with ideas, thoughts, and creative energy. Love working with artistic and creative photographers. So many different styles and techniques keep each shoot fun, interesting, and great addition to my own style (which I am still working on figuring out).
Trying to try on my own skin, grow into it and shed it where needed... Learn about myself and those around me, see where I am comfortable, what I want to learn, and what I am able to try...
Willing to do some unique TFCD, if it is with an experienced photographer, agency, or for a magazine. Will travel depending on compensation, and availability.
Really interested in out-of-the norm pictures. Ones that show style, angles, and beautiful form. For those photographers who want to press the edge a bit, having their own ideas for props, MUA's, and ideas, send me a note. Its surprising how many just want photos of some nude chic. You are the artist with the camera, and meshing to create that perfect image makes the shoot so much more valuable and worthwhile.

Hey guys,
I've been trying to find info on these topics online, but have had trouble digging any up. That said, I figured I would mine the collective DC Brain-Trust for answers to the following questions:
1. How should I correctly apply MilComm TW25B to my carry piece (Sig P238)? Do I apply, rub in, let sit, then wipe, or spread it on and let it sit? If I need to rub in, how/what should I use to rub in? Confused over this.
2. What should I be lubing on my new 12 gauge, a Mossberg Maverick Model 88? When I brought it home from Sportsman's Warehouse (basically Cabelas), I saturated a bore snake's first floss area with Hoppes's #9, and did three passes, got out lots of dark brown gunk. Then I saturated a shop towel with Hoppes 9 and wiped down the barrel and the outside of the mag tube. I also wiped down the exterior of the receiver, and everything in the chamber that I could access with Hoppes 9. Then, I took a new shop towel, saturated it with "Weapon Shield CLP" and wiped down all the afore-mentioned services. Should I be cleaning and lubing any other areas? This is my first long gun purchase, and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do.
Thanks guys. Love this forum
#1 As a light grease, I use TW25b only on the high friction, fast moving parts, mainly the rails. A little daub, spread with a Q-tip or cleaning patch in the rail slots on your slide and a tiny bit on the rails should do. This is a good product that is very slick, stays where you put it and dries very slowly so is long lasting. Good choice. I use lighter oil on other areas.
#2 Sounds like you have this covered.

Wonderful atmospheric place, great staff, very helpful, great restaurant, rooms straight out of 1001 nights, very comfortable and spacious
In contrast to other hotels that arrange a random grand taxi when you need transportation to another city, El Reducto has its on van and driver. Their taxi is new, clean, and comfortable, and even has seat belts that work! This is in contrast to the normal grand taxis that have hundreds of thousands if not millions of miles on them and although they usually get you to your destination, sometimes you wonder whether you will make it.
Peaceful, friendly, helpful, welcoming, good food. A real haven that I looked forward to getting back to at the end of the day.
Helpful owners, delightful decor, excellent restuarant, central location with car park nearby. An internal phone and a fridge for the summer would be reasonable expectations for the price
Visited the town centre, rode the bus to other cities. The hotel is conveniently located at foot distance from the bus stations. And it's in the heart of Tetouan's Medina. Beware: this hotel is not wheelchair friendly. However it is perfect for a romantic escapade. Very elegant decor, beatiful rooms, impeccable service, generous breakfast, good food, it will make you feel like living in an Arabian Nights tale. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to return and recommend to other travellers.
It´s wonderful !! Very kind people and lovely place!!!.
+Owners and personnel are really dedicated to their guests and very helpful. +Oasis in a busy city that lacks midrange hotels. +Excellent location for a Moroccan experience.
We appreciated the woman's touch in the way of leading the hotel: hospitality, kindness, precision and really good food!
This is a beautiful hotel, and was a welcome retreat after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and Rabat. There wwere no restaurants open in Tetouan during our stay (Ramadan), so we ate in the hotel every night, and were very pleased with the range of dishes on offer and the excellent value for money. The salon was a very beautiful, atmospheric place to eat. The bed was amazingly comfortable, the room was decorated and furnished very nicely, including the witty touch of a framed poster for the film Casablanca. The staff were very helpful despite us baffling them with our terrible Spanish, they showed impeccable patience with us, and arranged for a lift to the beach at Martil and to the ferry at Tangier. Worth the visit to Tetouan on its own.
The hot water from the shower. 1. When I booked the hotel online it was stated that the hotel was fully booked with only 1 room left. After reading this I booked the hotel immediately. However when I arrived at the hotel it was not busy at all! It was literally empty! Having seen this frustrated me, especially since there were no shops or people surrounding the hotel! Merely motorway roads, and mountains! The closest shops were 20 minutes away! 2. Upon arrival, we were expecting the hotel to have 'normal' food available but all that was available was 'tea' / snack food, I.e. Chocolate croissants and cakes. I was shown the restaurant menu and told that there would be REAL food, I.e. Meat, etc, available, but all that was available were a small amount of chips and fish.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Powder Update:
Thanks to the recent storms out here, I was finally able to get this in some legit pow. Its a huge improvement over camber, but def not as capable as a dedicated pow stick will be. On a foot or less, it is great, don't really have to lean back, and is tons of fun to ride. Any deeper, and you def start having to lean back and start to get a little bit of leg burn. Overall its pretty good, especially if your into doing spins and ish off of natural hits and like a true twin. Also, worst case, you ride switch and let your main rear leg rest for a bit.
Also, with the Atlas' I put on this, it handles the chop much better, not nearly as much of an issue as it was with my Flites.
Review: Yes Great Beauties 155
First off, let me say that I haven't ridden a ton of boards like some of the other reviewers on this site, but considering there is a dearth of information on Yes boards, I decided to add my 2 cents.
All of my previous boards have been camber, and the only rocker board I've tried is my friends Ride Machete. I wanted something that would be a bit more versatile than a regular camber board (IE, ride powder in addition to all mountain), but did not like how a full rockered board felt. My friend said he loved camrock on his Yes Optimistic, and recommended I look into their boards, which I did. Reading a lot of positive reviews, I headed down to my LBS to grab a new board.
I originally went into my LBS to purchase the Yes Big City, but since they didn't have the size I wanted, I went with my second option, the Yes Great Beauties. It has received favorable reviews all across the board, and this deck definitely lives up to the hype.
Rider stats: 5'8 185lbs, 8+ years riding (off and on, last season is when I really got back into it), regular, 12 mirrored. Currently using Union Flites*.
Groomers: Wow, what a blast. This has Yes' fastest base, and it feels like it. The first few runs on it I was actually a little scared because of how much faster it was than any other board I've ridden, and with its serrated edges, it carves quickly and gives good traction on icy sections. Groomers usually aren't my thing, but damn does this board make them fun!
Powder: Given the lack of snow, I can't really comment on how it handles in the deep stuff, but in the small 6 storm we had, it was a huge improvement over camber. Instead of feeling like I was doing a tailpress all the way down, just a slight shift to back foot and it floated beautifully. I can't wait for a legit pow day to see how she really handles.
Turn Initiation: Super quick edge to edge, and I really like the Asym sidecut. While not a necessity, I would definitely pay extra for this tech on my future boards, it makes riding switch a lot easier for me. I've done a few tree runs with her and it is a complete blast! It def has a bit of a surfy feel to it, which I really enjoy.
Speed: As I said, this thing hauls. I have to do long sweeping turns in slow areas because of how quick this thing gains speed. Its quite convenient for any time you have to traverse a flat section.
Edge Hold: It has a ghetto version of MTX which I nicknamed GTX. Better than a traditional edge, really locks in. Doesn't feel sketchy on icy patches.
Flex: On the softer side of medium.
Switch: I'm much weaker heelside when riding switch, so the asym sidecut actually helps out significantly for me. I feel much more confident riding switch with this in comparison to a traditional sidecut.
Pop: Not as much as a full camber board, but it gets the job done.
Butterability: At first, its a bit strange, because when you lean into the press, you get the resistance of camber, but lean just a bit farther, and you hit the rocker and youre suddenly in the middle of a sick press. Does take some adjusting, but its much preferable to a trad board, and fairly comparable to a rockered one.
Park: Haven't ridden it in the park yet, but it def seems like it would be a lot of fun there.
Fun Factor: Awesome! I haven't had this much fun just riding about the mountain on any other board. It puts a smile on my face from the first run to the last. Super playful.
Cons: The only con I've found with it is that its a bit too soft to handle some chop. It kicks me around a bit more than I'd prefer, but all things considered, its pretty much a non-issue for me.
*Bindings: I'm rocking Union Flites because I couldn't afford new bindings as well as the board, and its not a great match. This deck deserves a stiffer binding to take full advantage of it, so I'll post an update when I get some new bindings to go with it
Also, once we get a decent drop, I'll post an update to let ya'll know how she handles in the deep.

Norfolk Southern 2011 report details strengthened connections through corporate sustainability
NORFOLK, VA. – Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) has made significant strides in its corporate sustainability program, including achieving nearly 40 percent of its five-year greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal during the first year.
The company's progress is detailed in its fourth annual sustainability report, issued today on its environmental website, Footprints, at www.nssustainability.com. The 2011 report describes the strategic efforts involved in reducing the company's carbon footprint and tracks ongoing initiatives to achieve industry leadership in fuel conservation, emissions reduction, efficient energy use, recycling, use of renewable materials, and environmental partnerships.
"We recognize that our continued ability to thrive as a business is connected to the health of our communities, our environment, our employees, and our economy," notes CEO Wick Moorman. "In acknowledgement of this common future, we are strengthening our connections with communities and the environment to ensure that the impact we leave – social, economic, and environmental – will be a positive one for years to come."
Blair Wimbush, vice president real estate and corporate sustainability officer, writes that the company made gains in its four areas of primary focus. Chief among them was reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3.9 percent per revenue ton-mile of freight in 2010. The goal is to lower emissions by 10 percent per revenue ton-mile by 2014, with a focus on improving the fuel economy of its locomotive fleet, the railroad's largest source of emissions. In addition, the company improved the energy efficiency of its office and railroad facilities, saw an increase in employee-led recycling programs, and launched an initiative to plant more than 6 million trees in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, which will serve as a model for future carbon mitigation efforts.
"Looking ahead, we're mindful that we can do something beyond fuel-efficiency gains to have a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve," Wimbush said. "We've decided to make reforestation a central component of our carbon mitigation strategy."
Moorman praises employees for the sustainability advances: "Our corporate success – whether in safety, service, or sustainability – is a reflection of the dedication, talent, and hard work of our people. They are the connections that make our network strong now and for future generations."
Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) is one of the nation's premier transportation companies. Its Norfolk Southern Railway subsidiary operates approximately 20,000 route miles in 22 states and the District of Columbia, serves every major container port in the eastern United States, and provides efficient connections to other rail carriers. Norfolk Southern operates the most extensive intermodal network in the East and is a major transporter of coal and industrial products.

Hey guys,
A customer of mine came to me looking to refurbish his blob eye STi Morette headlights for his WRX. He brought them to me looking to get the low beam lenses replaced (one lens was cracked), wiring harness redone and cleaned up thoroughly.
Recently, he sold his car and has no use for them, so I bought them off of him because I really enjoyed this project.
They are Genuine STi Morette Headlights. They have the STi electric levelers for the low beams. All functions work and all new bulbs were recently added.
What I've done to them:
-Thoroughly cleaned inside and out
-Rewired the wiring harnesses and added new wire cover for a clean look
-Added yellow overlay to the hi-beam lenses
-Added amber LED turn signal bulbs
-Added white LED courtesy light bulbs
-Replaced both low beam lenses with brand new clear lenses
Let me know if you are interested in purchasing them. I would much prefer local pick-up or for you to come here and I'll install them. If need be, I will ship but would prefer not to.
Here's a few pictures of them:

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am divorced. A settlement agreement was negotiated at the time of the divorce. This agreement gave my ex-husband the responsibility for a loan of a 2nd mortgage on our home. My ex-husband is recently deceased. How do I go about getting this debt paid? Should I contact the lender notifying them of his death? \
A few key details are missing. However, for the purposes of rendering an answer, I will assume that the mortgage was in the name of both you and your late husband. If that is the case, then you may be liable for the remainder of the mortgage loan. The fact that your settlement agreement provides that your late husband must repay the remainder of the debt is of little concern to the lender. It is possible, however, that you can enforce the settlement agreement against your late husband's estate. To determine if that is possible, I would need more information than you have provided here.Ask a similar question
Good Question.... several factors would impact the advice I could give in that situation. title, life insurance, your ex spouses current marital status... there are lots of ways this could go. I would be happy to speak with you tomorrow and give you my opinion.
basically I would want to see the agreement as well as the original loan documents.
it would also be helpful to know who holds title to the real estate in
If you have further questions, call me at 770-904-5115. The information and opinion rendered herein is done as a courtesy and is for general informational purposes. Nothing herein may be construed by any party as to give rise to an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
As I am sure your lawyer told you at the time, your agreement means nothing to the creditor. You and he cannot contract to ignore the contract with the creditor. So you still owe all the money, as you always did, and you MAY have a claim against his estate, that you should discuss with your lawyer.
If you find this answer helpful, please mark it here on AVVO as helpful. In answering you, I am attempting to communicate general legal information and am not representing you (and am not your lawyer).

Thanks to Girevik for bringing the issue about high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) to my attention (viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13083). I found the following article about HFCS:
"High-fructose corn syrup is known for its widespread use among the food supply. From residing in soft drinks, juice beverages, processed foods, and even 'all-natural' products, high-fructose corn syrup has been subject to a large degree of controversy. The Corn Refiners Association (CRA), a large organization that represents the corn refining industry, has continued to assert that high-fructose corn syrup is completely safe and perfectly 'natural', yet many health experts are calling the organization out on their claims. In fact, the CRA even attempted to changed the name of high-fructose corn syrup to 'corn sugar' as research revealed the true nature of the substance.
What the research shows is that high-fructose corn syrup is not the same as regular table sugar, despite the claims of the CRA and advocates of the ingredient. In fact, one study performed by Princeton found that high-fructose corn syrup ingestion in rats prompted considerably more weight gain than table sugar — even when caloric intake was the same. The team found that when rats consumed levels of high-fructose corn syrup considerably below the amount present in soda, they became obese. It wasn't an isolated incident, either. According to Princeton weight and sugar addiction professor Bart Hoebel, all of the rats in the study became obese after being administered the levels of high-fructose corn syrup.
Even more concerning than the link between obesity and high-fructose corn syrup, however, is the fact that high-fructose corn syrup has been found to contain the toxic element mercury. Toxic in all forms, two studies found that around half of tested high-fructose corn syrup samples contained mercury. What's more, mercury was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products which contained high-fructose corn syrup as the first-or-second-highest labeled ingredient. Despite public outrage over the findings and consumer groups demanding the FDA to take action, the agency has still done nothing to address the presence of mercury in the processed food supply.
Common food items that contain high-fructose corn syrup include:
Juice beverages
Iced tea products
Breakfast cereals
Breads and baked goods
Breakfast bars
Salad dressings
Candy bars
This article made me wonder about the safety of the afore-mentioned foods. Why must HFCS be added to food, if it's already found to be so contraversial ?
I guess we simply can't avoid harmful ingradients in our foods (even organic foods are not really much safer, to my knowledge), so it's better to eat things in moderation, and better unprocessed.
Thanks and metta!

Add your thoughts here… (optional)
The resentments and ambitions that led to the War of 1812 were numerous and complex. The United States was angry about Great Britain's alliance with the aboriginal peoples, which was hindering America's westward expansion. Some of its politicians were eager to add British North America to the Union and were spurring the government to invade.
But nothing caused as much resentment in the U.S. as the actions of the Royal Navy. As the European war between Napoleon and Britain continued, the British were determined to prevent supplies from being shipped to France. To enforce the blockade, they began searching and seizing goods on the ships of neutral powers, including the U.S.
"The British also seized any deserters they found on these ships and forced them to serve in the navy, even if the deserters were now American citizens," says Victor Suthren, a Canadian naval historian and author of the book…

Sanchez vs Smith Jets QB Drama
- Updated: August 10, 2013
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was erratic against the Detroit Lions Friday night. He made a couple of key mistakes, but also did some good things late. Fortunately for Sanchez the game was in Detroit or the Jets' fans would have been shaking the house with boos.
The New York Jets QB controversy started Friday night and it didn't take long for the drama to begin.
Sanchez tossed a bad interception on his third pass when he under threw a screen. Lions rookie DE Ziggy Ansah intercepted the errant pass and lumbered 14 yards for a touchdown. As if once wasn't enough, he later threw a second screen pass that was almost intercepted.
Late in the game, Sanchez got his game together, and he finished 10 of 13 passing for 125 yards. He tossed a 26-yard TD pass to Jeff Cumberland and finished with a surprisingly good 99.8 QB rating for the game.
QB Geno Smith, who was drafted by the Jets in the second round, was 6 of 7 before leaving the game with an ankle injury. Early reports are that the injury is not serious.
Former Alabama QB, Greg McElroy, came in to finish the game and completed 11 of 19 passes for 145 yards and one touchdowns with zero interceptions.
How many things in sports are more fun than a QB controversy in New York?
Does anybody care what the final score is in an exhibition game? You will have to find the final score of the Jets vs Lions game somewhere else.

Just an FYI – from Austin-based activist and friend Stephen Sheftall:
"John Bush and Matthew Medina made it out of Travis County Jail and are at our house where they belong. This definitely isn't the end, but for now at least this part is over."
Sheftall left the comment on his Facebook profile around 11AM today (Sun., Dec. 4th).
C'mon, John, How many times do you have to be given an UNlawful order before you comply? ;^)
Your 6 feet away from them. I think any cop has the legal authority to ask you to back up.
Once again.. this is more about envoking a police response verses video taping what the police are doing.
Cops do this to people every weekend on sixth street. They grab people at the word of aggressive and out of control bar doormen and then take them to jail under a catch all law called "Public Intoxication." The Cops play the part of judge on the street and let you go or arrest you on their own whim. Also, telling people things like "I am going to let you go but get out of here" over and over and over again all night. Cops don't have the right to tell citizens to come and go– and don't tell me that they are trying to "help" with their unlawful orders because they are the ones starting shit in the first place.
Pffft! If the sociopath would have had his back turned while he was doing whatever it was that he was doing he wouldn't have even known the camera men were there.
@ PSOSGT Where on this planet do you find one of those "legal" that you speak of. I'm curious and want to know more about it's nutritional value or it's impact on gravity, motion and thermodynamics.
So PSOSGT, can I ask the cop to "back up" when he is in my face? When I feel endangered by him? After all, in a system of delegated powers, a cop cannot have any powers or rights that a citizen does not have or else he could not be delegated that authority. Are we doing away with delegated powers and just saying that all power comes from the gun?

[USA MEN] Jurgen Klinsmann named a 24-player roster for the U.S. game against Ukraine in Larnaca, Cyprus. All but one player (Michael Bradley) is currently based in Europe or Mexico. Will Packwood (Birmingham City) earned his first call-up, as did Bayern Munich teen phenom Julian Green, though he is not eligible to play for the USA and is only with the team to train.
Klinsmann called in just about every European-based player who is
available, though many have little or no chance of going to Brazil.
European-based players who have been sidelined include right backs Timmy Chandler
and Steve Cherundolo and midfielders Stuart Holden and Josh Gatt.
Just back from injury are Eric Lichaj and Jonathan Spector from the English League Championship, but neither was
called in for the Ukraine game. Lichaj was called in for the November 2013 friendlies; Spector was supposed to be called into the March 2013 qualifiers but was a last-minute scratch because of an
ankle injury. Klinsmann also did not call up Bobby Wood of 1860 Munich.
Packwood, Spector's Birmingham City teammate, would have started for the
USA at the Under-20 World Cup but suffered a broken leg. He has since returned to action for the Blues and is considered one of the top young prospects in the back.
Edgar Castillo was the only player based in Mexico called in for the game. He plays for Tijuana along with Joe Corona and
Herculez Gomez, both of whom have seen their World Cup prospects fade in the last six months.
Xolos play Saturday, allowing Castillo to catch a
flight to Europe on Sunday. The only other Mexican-based players likely still on Klinsmann's radar for 2014 are DaMarcus Beasley and Michael Orozco. Both play for Puebla whose game Sunday against Queretaro would make it very difficult to get to Europe.
Klinsmann can still see them on April 2 when the USA
plays Mexico in Glendale, Ariz. Castillo won't be available if Tijuana beats the LA Galaxy in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League. The semifinals will be held the week of the USA-Mexico
Bradley did not play in the Feb. 1 friendly against South Korea. Facilitating his call-up is the fact Toronto FC doesn't play on the opening weekend of MLS play March 8-9. The only
teams that are off are San Jose and Colorado. The Earthquakes play in the Concacaf Champions League the following week.
The Ukraine-USA match was previously set to be played in Kharkiv,
Ukraine, but the location was changed due to current conditions in Ukraine. Kickoff at Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium in Larnaca is set for 2 p.m. ET (9 p.m. local), and the match will be broadcast on
ESPN2, WatchESPN and UniMas.
The USA will assemble in Frankfurt on Monday for two days of training before heading to Cyprus.
GOALKEEPERS (3): Cody Cropper (Southampton), Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton)
DEFENDERS (7): John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Oguchi Onyewu (Sheffield Wednesday), Will Packwood
(Birmingham City), Tim Ream (Bolton Wanderers)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Fabian
Johnson (Hoffenheim), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (Barnsley), Danny Williams (Reading)
FORWARDS (6): Juan Agudelo
(Utrecht), Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar)

I have seen polic officers with no vegetation in sight in the middle of the city wearing green digital cammies.
they rolled up and extracted out of a white 15 passenger van, they didnt move into position through vegetation to get there.
why the cammies?
I remember in the 80s swat had some time of black uniform
I never remember them wearing olive drab camo
I do remember them wearing the old woodland pattern after the military got it
I do remember them wearing the new digitals after the military got it
Who said anything about bright orange?
Do you think military guys have two different uniforms for garrison and combat?
I think it is poor planning to have guys change out of a traditional police uniform that the public is use too and putting on military camoflauge. It is a waste of time, just throw on your tactical gear and get ready to get some.

km : Tech
words: Bryan Joslin
9 May 2011
For more than a decade now, the smallest engine available to American BMW buyers has been an inline six. While sixes, eights, tens and twelves have all lived behind the twin kidneys in recent years, the company's reputation as the Ultimate Driving Machine was actually built on the strength of its great four-cylinder cars, from the inimitable 2002 to the heart-pumping first-generation M3. If there's any doubt about the four-banger's importance, consider this: the company headquarters is a building in the shape of four conjoined cylindrical towers. So perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that as big displacement and massive power begin to take a back seat to tougher fuel economy and emissions mandates, BMW is preparing to become famous again for four-cylinder vehicles, starting with the introduction of an all-new turbo two-liter.
Known internally as the N20, this newest powerplant pulls out all the tricks employed in recent years on some of BMW's bigger engines, including some from the M division. The engineering brief was a stiff one, demanding balance on issues of weight, consumption and, importantly, performance. BMW fully expects this engine to be the bread-and-butter of its small-car lineup — it debuts this fall in the Z4 but will certainly spread to the next 1- and 3-series as well as the upcoming X1 — and as such it will be expected to perform like a proper BMW engine. On paper, the specs are mighty impressive.
The core architecture of the N20 is similar to other recent engine families within the company, but with a couple of major differences. For instance, it uses the now-familiar bedplate in place of individual bearing caps on the bottom end. Derived from motorsport applications, this design results in a much more rigid engine structure with less vibration, lending a degree of refinement usually associated with larger, heavier engines. The strength afforded by this construction also allows for fairly high compression ratios as well, especially for a turbocharged unit. Variations on the engine will run between 10:1 and 11:1 compression.
But unlike its six-cylinder counterparts, the entire block is mast in aluminum; there are no cylinder liners inserted at all. Instead, the swept area of the combustion chambers is treated with a thin layer of iron by way of electric arc spraying technology. BMW took a lesson from AMG, who first used this process on its own turbocharged engines. This method of literally spraying hot iron onto the aluminum cylinder walls not only reduces weight, it allows for cooling passages in the narrow regions between the cylinder, a critical consideration for durability and reliability on a highly-stressed turbo engine.
Reducing internal friction was one of the key objectives in attaining maximum efficiency. The pistons feature exceptionally short skirts and even the internal geometry was taken into consideration, which is why the crankshaft centerline is offset 14 mm from that of the cylinder bores. This unconventional alignment generates less friction as the pistons move through their power strokes, resulting in greater power delivery.
Other drag-abating measures include the use of an electric coolant pump and a variable-volume oil pump. The electric coolant pump has been used successfully on numerous BMW engine families recently and offers numerous advantages. It not only eliminates perpetual drag on the engine, it also allows for demand-driven engine cooling, meaning it can prevent circulation at startup to bring the engine to operating temp more quickly, or run at a higher rate during hot, low-rpm conditions such as stop-and-go traffic. The oil pump, while driven by one of the engine's balance shafts, features a variable-volume valve to ensure the engine is pumping only as much of the thick stuff as needed for conditions.
On the induction side, the new engine takes full advantage of BMW's technical reserves, employing variable intake and exhaust timing (Double VANOS) for nearly infinite torque and efficiency optimization and the throttle-less Valvetronic setup, which reduces the pumping losses associated with a conventional butterfly valve. The top of each combustion chamber is crowned, with two intake valves, two exhaust valves, a spark plug and a solenoid-type direct injector nozzle residing in each position within the aluminum head.
The star of the show, however, is the single, twin-scroll turbocharger. Rather than bolting on a pair of small (expensive) turbos, a single slightly larger charger is fitted. To reduce backpressure and allow for quicker spool-up, thereby producing more low-end torque and a more responsive package, two separate ducts breathe upon the input scroll. Exhaust from cylinders one and four feed one of the side, while cylinders two and three provide boost from the other. The compressed intake charge is cooled and condensed by an efficient front-mounted intercooler.
While all of the technologies employed in the N20 offer varying degrees of performance and efficiency gains, the result of their combination is a very advanced engine that makes previous BMW four-cylinders look like dinosaurs by comparison. Generating 120 horsepower per liter in Z4 tune, the new engine offers an overall performance envelope that is essentially on par with a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six (240 hp, 260 lb-ft), but with twenty percent less fuel consumption and emissions. It's also lighter overall and more compact, allowing for better overall vehicle dynamics. It may well be the most advanced four-cylinder gas engine in the marketplace when debuts this fall.
Ironically, this new 2.0-liter engine will wear "2.8i" nomenclature when it arrives. The Z4 will benefit first from the N20, followed later by the X1. By the time the next generation of 1- and 3-series emerge, the current base six-cylinder will have been put to rest in favor of the N20. We fully expect to see the current X3 and 5-series embrace it as well. We suspect BMW will eventually stretch this engine's specific output beyond the 120 hp/L mark. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised at all if the boys at M are already hard at work on a motorsport version.

Of course this is violating an meaningful principle.
The Problem is, that in my Package to Objects can be
multiplied, and this multiplication is somewhat
So I use the remember-method, defining
Now changing the order doesn't change the Product
z in z=x*z, but only the order of the summands
in z. (For some reason it is advantagous to arrange
the Summands in ordered Form.)
Even if I say now, after changing the order, the user
has to explicitely change every Variable, or even
recalculate everything from scratch, Mathematica would
remember the wrong Values.
Aside from this, the user shall not mess around with
the interna of this structure (for this there are interfaces
like LeadingTerm[x]).
This ist the Background for my adventuresome request.
Maybe I find some other Way out of this dilemma.

Reiko Goto
The work of Japanese-born artist Reiko Goto has encompassed large multi-year ecological art projects with her frequent collaborator Tim Collins and others, as well as smaller more intimate installations designed to reveal natural processes and encourage discussion. Her work is international in scope yet also very local, often to the point of highlighting a specific insect or plant species as a subject for celebration and inquiry. Her art explores a form of "radical democracy" which creates entry points for the public into a much larger engagement with the human and non-human world.
Goto's large-scale collaborative initiatives in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, through Carnegie Mellon University's STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, include projects such as "Nine Mile Run" and "3 Rivers 2nd Nature" which involved working with artist Tim Collins, and numerous specialists to help "citizens and decision makers understand the evolving opportunities of our post-industrial waterfront." These multi-year projects included extensive research and public educational components as well as brownfields restoration projects and gallery installations highlighting the cultural and ecological history of the region.
Other public projects in downtown San Francisco, California, and Aachen, Germany and have highlighted underground waterways and created urban . .(Read more)

By John Ingrisano on Jan 4, 2012 in business management
by John Ingrisano
Fifty years ago, it was a man's world. The majority of women who were in business were secretaries and personal assistants. Women rarely ran the show. That has since changed … a lot. In fact, the very nature of business has been overhauled and re-invented since women began to move up the management/entrepreneurial ladder.
The male approach to business: Men tend to manage with a big stick. We see business in terms of warfare and sports rivalries. We go head to head with our competitors in a winner-take-all-loser-get-nothing race to conquer and achieve victory. We're not all that big on cooperation. Our pecking order tends to be top-down vertical.
I remember that's pretty much how it was when I entered the corporate world in 1977. All key managers were men, and the president of the company openly pitted his vice presidents against each other. The rivalries were ferocious. The idea was to work long hours, survive the contest, and beat the competitors both in and outside the corporation.
The female approach to business: Gradually, women began working their way into positions of authority and responsibility. At first, there was the stereotype that women made lousy bosses. Even many women thought so and openly said they'd rather have a male boss than a female boss any time. (Many said the same about the then-male-dominated field of gynecology, too.)
Well, today, women are not only accepted as managers, but many business-owning entrepreneurs are female. Here are a few stats, courtesy of The Center for Women's Business Research:
- Fifteen of the Fortune 500 companies have women as CEOs.
- More than 10 million U.S. businesses have women as either 50% partners or outright owners.
- Twenty percent of all businesses that earn $1 million or more are owned by women.
The feminine advantage: Especially in the area of small business and especially in today's tough-as-nails economy, women have transformed how many businesses work. For one thing, women tend to focus on cooperation and community rather than competition and go-it-alone-individualism. Their management style tends to be flatter, more horizontal, lacking the pecking order.
Most of all, while men tend to be solitary, women tend to be more natural as networkers. They know that, very often, a series of related businesses can do much better when they share marketing efforts and research. They also tend to help each other through tough times.
Oh, and just for the record, many of the female entrepreneurs and managers I know are just as ambitious and hard-driving as the men. Most just do it with more finesse.
The bottom line: When looking at business management, look at individuals who bring the best of both sexes, from the relentless, never-say-die drive of men to the determined relationship-building skills of women. – JRI

James Lovelock's Gloomy Vision
At this point in the book, about half-way through, Lovelock diverts from the question of our impending doom into various other, much smaller issues like whether nitrates in food are really bad for you. It felt surreal, like the serving staff on the Titanic arguing about whether a time card had been properly punched or not. Lovelock uses this material to make the point that people worry about all the wrong stuff. OK, that's a legitimate point, but I was left wishing for some discussion of what shape the catastrophe might take.
Based on the experiences of the Biospherians, I would imagine that the wildest instabilities might be biological. We can cope with bacteria, at least better than humankind could back in the days of the Black Death in Europe, but bacteria are adept at evolving defenses to our chemical weapons, and viruses are much more difficult to attack. A new plague would spread globally, much faster than it did in the middle ages. A biological collapse might be attributable to human overpopulation, or monoculture agriculture, perhaps more so than to climate change.
Geochemically, I could imagine the chemistry of the atmosphere shifting to a new equilibrium, in which (say) carbon monoxide could suddenly rise up to harmful levels. The oxidation chemistry of the atmosphere has been altered in all different directions by human emissions of organic compounds, nitrogen compounds, and methane. No one understands why the lifetime of methane in the atmosphere is as stable as it appears to been over the past decades. Surprises could lurk here.
Methane hydrates seem dangerous, because there is so much methane. If all of the hydrates were to melt within a few years, we would have a methane spike in the atmosphere that would be catastrophic, because methane is such a powerful greenhouse gas. But it seems more likely that the hydrates would melt slowly, over centuries and millennia. If that is the case, the climate impact might be comparable to fossil fuel CO2 combustion. It could double the human climate impact, but probably not make it 10 times worse or anything like that.
Physically, there have been abrupt climate changes in the past, which we are just beginning to figure out. Transitions between stable climate states may be sudden. Some transitions are driven by sharp changes in physical properties of substances like water. There is a sharp boundary between a stable and a runaway greenhouse effect, because of the sharp phase boundary between water vapor and liquid. Abrupt climate changes in the glacial North Atlantic may have been amplified by freezing of sea ice. Dynamical systems may also change states quickly. Ocean circulation seems to have multiple configurations, also apparently generating abrupt glacial North Atlantic climate changes. The dynamical balance in hurricanes on earth is between latent heat and wind friction with the ground, but if the pressure dropped low enough, ground friction fails as a regulator and a new beast, called a "hypercane", could arise [Emanuel et al., 1995]. No one is suggesting that hypercanes will arise on Earth, but this is an example of a sharp transition in a dynamical system. It would be extremely difficult to forecast abrupt climate changes such as this for the future.
The Earth has existed in hot-house configuration before, and contrary to Lovelock's vision, I don't know of anything intrinsic to the hot-house Earth which would preclude human life. The transition from present-day climate to a radically new climate could be catastrophic from the point of view of human civilization however, especially given that Earth is loaded with so many people already. Past climate transitions often drove extinctions and eventually new speciation. Past societies, such as the Classic Mayans, apparently vanished from the face of the earth, leaving behind mute relics of past social structure. These societal collapses were regional, often triggered by regional climate changes. The world today is globalized to an extent that was never a factor in the past, and climate is poised to change in a global way such as civilized humanity has not before witnessed.
We should be very clear. No one, not Lovelock or anyone else, has proposed a specific, quantitative scenario for a climate-driven, all out, blow the doors off, civilization ending catastrophe. Mr. Lovelock has a feeling in his gut that something terrible is going to happen. He could be right, but for what it's worth, there aren't any models that explode as catastrophically as this. We can never say that it's impossible that something might fall out of balance, something we haven't thought of. But I think in general the consensus gut feeling among small-minded working scientists like me is that the odds of such a catastrophe are low.

She has published extensively on Asian American identities and politics, gender and migration, and U.S. colonialism and wars in Asia. Her most current book, Body Counts: The Vietnam War and Militarized Refuge(es) (UC Press, 2014) charts an interdisciplinary field of critical refugee study, which reconceptualizes "the refugee" not as an object of rescue but as a site of social and political critiques. In 2015, she received the UCSD Academic Senate Faculty Research Lecturer Award.
Espiritu has served several terms as Chair of the Ethnic Studies Department, and also as its Director of Undergraduate Studies and Director of Graduate Studies. At the national level, she has served as the President of the Association of Asian American Studies, Vice President of the Pacific Sociological Association, and member of the Committee on Nominations of the American Sociological Association.

Under normal conditions, I would have driven 10 over and would have slowed (not fully stopping) at the sign and would have only glanced both directions.

There was a study done in Canada(im talking about cars here) which showed that people who had smoked marijuana drived normaly and theyre driving skills where not affected too much.they also drove much safer than drunks, and especially those with sleep deprivation which where the worst.

McDaniel chef gives away tricks of the trade
"I spent $70 on these groceries at Safeway," Werner said, pointing to a tabletop dotted with packaged rice and beans, beef strips, fresh green beans, stir-fry sauce, diced peppers and "no cry" diced onions, tortilla wraps, chicken broth and a lot more. "There are at least 10 meals here."
Supermarkets have an endless selection of food that takes little preparation, he said, during "Cooking Tricks You Can Use in the Residence Halls," a Jan Term workshop for students.
Executive chef Kevin Werner tells sophomore Jessica Oros that inexpensive store-brand vodka sauce is just as good as the brand name sauce.
"When wraps first came out, I said they were just a fad and would be gone in a year," said Werner, who has been the chef at hotels, resorts and another college in Boca Raton, Fla., before coming to McDaniel with the college's food service provider, Sodexo. "Now I love them – they're so versatile. I counted nine kinds of tortillas in the supermarket and unlimited choices in what to wrap in them – you never have to have the same tortilla twice."
Werner's tips require only one kind of appliance – a microwave oven. He explained that 75 percent of dorm fires started with cooking, so toaster ovens, burners and similar appliances with heating elements are not only against college policy but are dangerous as well. And, he told his audience, students can order and pick up a bag lunch if classes or studying interfere with lunch hours in the dining room.
Questions? Doubts? Fear of cooking?
"I'm your chef," he said. "Call me."
10 Cooking Tricks You Can Use in the Residence Halls
from Executive Chef Kevin Werner
1. Think pre-washed, pre-cut, pre-cooked, microwave ready. It's all good and waiting for you in your local supermarket.
2. Four no's for peace among roommates and dorm-mates – no fish, no broccoli, no curry and absolutely no frying.
3. Check sell-by dates. Green is the color of lettuce and peppers not bread, cheese or meatloaf.
4. Wrap almost anything. Wraps are easy, convenient and there's no end to the flavor combinations. Really.
5. Chicken broth adds flavor to veggies, rice and whatever else you want to try. Freeze leftover chicken broth in ice-cube trays, pop out cubes and store in baggies in freezer until needed.
6. Stick with shelf-stable items.
7. Become label readers – organic means expensive.
8. Be adventuresome and don't be intimidated by cooking – try different combinations of vegetables, meat, sauces.
9. Buy a decent-size bowl and mixing spoon, a colander, and can opener – the basics for dorm cooking.
10. "Hey. Call me! I'm your chef."

Welcome to the generation of million dollar kids
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Think your children are costing you a lot? You're right, with an Australian study finding that the average child now costs $1 million (US$917,000) to raise, taking into account toys, holidays and other activities.
A study on Generation Z and the cost of parenting by social analyst Mark McCrindle found a government estimate that it cost $384,543 to raise a child to 18 was way off as this did not include private education, holidays or "non-essential" items.
It also assumed that children would leave home at 18 but this was no longer the case with Generation Z, those born after 1995, as the costs of accommodation and bills were a deterrent to moving out.
"In today's Australian families the majority of young people stay in the parental home and rely on their parents for some of their expenses until their mid 20's. Therefore the cost per household to raise children to age 24 is $834,000," McCrindle from McCrindle Research said in his report.
He said then you had to add the "non-essential" yet "usual" child rearing expenses such as toys, holidays and travel, dining and entertainment, private tutoring and education, sport and activities, furniture and household equipment dedicated to the children's use.
This boosted costs by another $3,000 per child per year.
"This takes the total parental cost to raise the average number of children (2.7) in Australia to $1,028,093," he said.
McCrindle said parents now do have more money to spend on children than their parents did, making Generation Z the most financial endowed generation of children ever.
McCrindle's research, based on a survey of 4,500 Australians, found the average Australian child had more than 100 toys but that parents threw out or gave away only five toys a year. Continued...

- - sail dimensions, Bene First 345 (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/beneteau/24189-sail-dimensions-bene-first-345-a.html)
sail dimensions, Bene First 345
Just wondering if anyone has the SA of a 100% jib for the Beneteau 345. I am attempting to right-size a storm jib (70%) and seek independent (ie noncommercial) thoughts on the right size.
I want to balance it with reef 2 on the main so the ratio of sail areas of main to jib are the same as under full sail.
54 Attachment(s)
Although the math is simple, there are a number of sail calculators available on the internet. One is http://www.sailingusa.info/parts_of_the_boat.htm - putting in the I (44') and J (12.9') for a standard rig 345 gives a S/A of 284.
What does right-sizing the storm jib mean? Is your storm jib really 70% - I guess I don't know what % a storm jib "should be" but ours is by eyeball maybe half or less of the area of our 85% jib.
As to matching the main, assuming you have somewhat standard reef sizes, you'd need a third reef for use with a storm jib. Do you have an inner forestay for flying the storm sail?
You might want to seek out more commercial advice....
by the numbers
Thanks for your reply, I did the IPEJ numbers and came close to manufacturer's 540 ft2 ( it was 513 ft2) for total sail area.
Presuming a "square function" for pressure on sails, ie 70% sail area results in 1/2 the force (.7 x .7 = .49), the jib I am looking for would be 160 ft2. Maybe the problem is nomenclature: maybe it is not a storm jib, but a working jib.
When I furl the headsail to 70% and double reef the main,the boat pulls well on a reach but does not point nearly as well. My 150 has the foam pad insert to keep sail shape but the 100 does not. In 18 knots with all the laundry out it is lively and fast and points very high, but is right on the edge. for making time in good wind I am looking for a jib SA that I can hank on, furl it it gets wild, but mainly run it full size, and balanced. There are a few passages I make with pretty steady 25-25 knot winds and it would be nice to set up for that. That sets up for double the wind velocity over a 100% sail plan with half the force on the sails. This boat needs the jib to be working to reach in heavier winds.
I do have a 3rd reef point set up but have never used it.

Gov. Peter Shumlin and Pauline Marois, Premier of Quebec, met today in Montreal to discuss cross-border issues and sign a cooperation agreement reaffirming the close working relationship on issues critical to both governments. Among the issues included in the document, which was first signed by both entities in 2003, are economic development, energy, the environment, security, tourism, transportation, and agriculture.
"Premier Marois and I recognize that Quebec and Vermont share not just a border but also common interests and opportunities that link our two regions," Gov. Shumlin said. "I appreciate that the Premier is enthusiastic about working together to move Quebec and Vermont forward as partners to strengthen both our futures."
Premier Marois, leader of the Parti Québécois, was elected the 30th premier in September. She is Quebec's first female premier.
Among the areas of agreement included in today's agreement:
* Continued study of issues impacting Lake Champlain, including environmental challenges and flooding issues.
* Improving transportation networks and higher-speed train options, maintaining smooth border access, and technology exchange.
* A commitment to continuing the Electric Vehicle Corridor connecting Montreal and Vermont, and points south.
* A cross-border economic initiative that includes agricultural, tourism and other opportunities.
* Strengthening energy cooperation, including continued access to Hydro Quebec power and addressing transmission challenges.
"There are many areas that link our regions and offer tremendous opportunities for progress," the Governor said. "I look forward to working with the Premier and her administration as we move Vermont and Quebec into the future."

Fri 16th Aug 2013 7:00amEscape Surfboards's Polzeath Surf Report
Polzeath 7.0: Not the most beautiful morning or the most beautiful waves but there are waves and it has stopped raining.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon, dead at 82
Posted by satyrikon στο Αύγουστος 25, 2012
[np_storybar title=»Neil Armstrong takes 'giant leap' for mankind: Video» link=»#1″]
CINCINNATI, Ohio — Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on Earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died. He was 82.
Armstrong died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, a statement Saturday from his family said. It didn't say where he died.
Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast.
"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap…

'Stand Up' with Cathy Park Hong & Mores McWreath at The New Museum
In conjunction with the "Stand Up" symposium on March 30, the New Museum is hosting "The Rub," a collaborative online chapbook by Cathy Park Hong and the video artist Mores McWreath.
"The Rub" is an e-chapbook of GIFs and haiku that explores shame and failure in stand-up and online comedy. Poems explore the viewer's obsession with witnessing humiliation—whether harmless bloopers, online bullying, or abject sexual humiliation. The GIF, the perfect visual effect here, freezes failure into an infinite loop and captures theorist Sianne Ngai's concept of a "noncathartic aesthetic: art that produces and foregrounds a failure of emotional release…and does so as a kind of politics."
We're particularly fascinated with page 3, which is admittedly one of the tamer text-image juxtapositions, but we recommend spending some time with the entire piece. You can read/view the entire collaboration online.
If you're in New York, you can head over to the New Museum on March 30 from 2-5 pm for the "Stand Up" symposium:
In Part One of "Stand Up," acclaimed poet Cathy Park Hong will consider how humor can be an energetic mode of critique in relation to race and sexuality. Led by a series of questions—How can laughter be both a form of subversion and of mourning? How does comedic performance meddle with language?—this talk also considers new interactive models generated from contemporary poetry and performance. Her lecture informs Hong's developing body of work about the abject body and comedy. In Part Two, celebrated poets Ariana Reines, Catherine Wagner, and Ronaldo Wilson will perform and read works in response to Hong's propositions. Artist Mores McWreath will present a video work.

Manic Myrtle Wins Ugly Contest!
The votes have been tallied, my bribe has been paid, and the verdict is in! Obamacare is now the law of the land!
Whoops, wrong vote. I meant to announce the winner of Grumpy's First Annual Crepe Murder Contest, dedicated to those clueless weekend whackers who reside in the shallow end of the gene pool.
May I have the envelope, please? In the closest vote in the contest's only year of existence, the award goes to…………..Manic Myrtle!!!!!!!!
Manic Myrtle
Manic Myrtle: "I can't believe it! I am so honored! You like me! You really like me! When I think of all the thousands of horribly pruned and maimed crepe myrtles in the world, the fact that you picked me makes my miserable appearance worth every minute of insults and laughter directed my way! I would just like to thank my producer, P. Griff Smerdley, without whose saw none of this would have been possible — "
Kanye West: "Hold on a second, Manic. Don't misunderstand, I think you're great and very ugly crepe myrtle. No disrespect, but there is just no way anybody can look at these competitors and give an award to anybody but Multiple Myrtle. Manic Myrtle is fine, but Multiple Myrtle is fine times three."
President Obama:"I don't really have anything to say about the contest, except that Kanye has always been a bit of a jackass."
So there you have it, Grumpians! American democracy at its best! You'll be glad to know that the winner still stands as proudly as before across the street from my house. And to all those who didn't win, take heart. Thanks to our new system of universal health care, you'll be able to purchase affordable lifetime pruning from a licensed professional. Best of all, you cannot be turned down for coverage due to a preexisting condition, such as crepe murder. Remember, proper pruning is not a privilege. It is a right.
