Chocolate is becoming more and more exotic and interesting, and Jacques Torres' Earl Grey Chocolate is delicious. It has the decadent texture and sweetness of chocolate, and the fragrant scent of Earl Grey tea.

gordon's recommendation
These are chocolates w/high style and fabulous taste. I have only had these chocolates once before but they were seriously delicious. Delicate but powerful and complex. The chocolates themselves are often decorated w/cool designs and are visually satisfying to make a complete aesthetic/sybaritic experience. They came in a very cool little box too. A great treat or stylish gift but pricey

It was a chaotic finish to a race that was stopped for nearly 20 minutes five laps from the finish by a 13-car accident that sent driver Michael Annett to a local hospital, where his Richard Petty Motorsports team said he would be held overnight with bruising to his chest.
The race resumed with three laps to go, and the final accident occurred when leader Regan Smith tried to block Brad Keselowski to win.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.-- Tony Stewart(Go Tony!) won a chaotic Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway that ended with a frightening last-lap crash that appeared to injure fans when rookie Kyle Larson's car sailed into the fence that separates the track from the seats.

No they are just a few who go to national sites and recruit all their shills to come to a Kentucky thread and play nasty. You people aren't fooling anyone. Some have been here long enough to recognize you pukes little game. The only one using filth and ignorant, juvenile comments are the likes of you and your shills. AL just does like most of the rest of you. Spin a different device and pull a shill name out to spread your bullshit. The only big in Texas right now is your lying pinochio nose. Go back to your private "registered" shill party. We don't care what any Texans have to say in Kentucky. You pukes have said enough with the likes of Bush, Rick Perry and the KY transplant randpaul. You people are the only ones spewing hate and filth. It is so like you. True colors. By all means, keep it up, it won't win you any support or elections. Keep up your hateful denial. Dems rule. Suck on that spin your name, register and location and carry on. Don't bother me none,nor will it run me off. You halfwits are no challenge.

1945: US flag raised over Iwo Jima
On 19 February, after four days of naval and air bombardment had pounded the beaches and weakened Japanese defences, the 4th and 5th Marine Divisions landed on the south side of the island under the overall command of Vice-Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner.
After a day of little resistance, the enemy fought back in earnest.
Hidden in fortified caves and pillboxes linked by a series of tunnels they relentlessly attacked the Americans with artillery fire, grenades and other explosives as well as from the air.
The last 24 hours have seen the fiercest fighting yet with every step of the way up the mountain defended by the Japanese.
But by 1035 local time the Marines had reached the summit of Mt Suribachi.
Reporting from the US base in Guam, Admiral Chester W Nimitz said so far the battle had cost 5,372 casualties, including 644 dead, and that US carrier-based aircraft flying over the Bonin Islands north of Iwo Jima had destroyed three enemy planes.

Obama's Recovery A Flop Of Historical Proportions
As President Obama prepares to deliver yet another speech about stimulating the economy this one to a joint-session of Congress (with or without the NFL game on the monitors) it's worth reviewing the results of his efforts to date.
By consensus, the most recent recession ended in June 2009, less than six months after Obama took office.
According to the NBER, in the 60 years prior to Obama's tenure, we had 10 recessions. In the two years following those respective recessions, average real (inflation-adjusted) quarterly GDP growth was 5%, according to federal government figures. In the two years of Obama's "recovery," average real quarterly GDP growth has been just 2.4%, less than half of the historical norm coming out of a recession.

The Dangerous Myth About The Bill Clinton Tax Increase
During the first four years of his Presidency, real GDP growth average 3.2%, respectable relative to todays economy, but disappointing coming as it did following just one year of recovery from the 1991 recession, the end of the Cold War and the reduction in consumer price inflation below 3% for the first time (with the single exception of 1986) since 1965.
For example, it was a half a percentage point slower than under Reagan during the four years following the first year of the recovery from the 1982 recession.
A shared prosperity can be achieved again. But to do so, the American people will have to overcome the envy feeding myth perpetrated by President Barack Obama and the spin-masters and leadership of the Democratic Party that raising tax rates on high incomes will somehow lead to more job creation, more opportunity and increased prosperity and security for the middle-class.

Opinion: Obama playbook is Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"
COLORADO SPRINGS, August 19, 2012 ― In this years political campaigns, the two sides seem to operate under different sets of rules. The GOP thinks the game runs under standard rules of fair play. Democrats play under Saul Alinskys Rules for Radicals.
This concept was familiar to our Founding Fathers. The left reacted with outrage and demanded apologies and retractions.

There are a lot of diet cabbage soup recipes out there, but most are high in sodium or a little bit bland. This recipe is so good and easy that you can use it whether you're on the cabbage soup diet or you just want to enjoy a lovely, warming cabbage soup.
I've mixed it up a bit so the soup has more flavor and dimension and so that you can customize your own with a little spice. I've also left out the V-8 and canned tomatoes.
Cabbage Soup Recipe:
1 sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 head of cabbage, cored and chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 head broccoli, sliced into bite-sized pieces
2 Roma tomatoes, diced with seeds discarded
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups water
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
to taste: salt and pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and cumin
1. In a soup pot, heat a small amount of extra virgin oil. If you must, you can also just use a non-stick cooking spray.
2. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 4-6 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the celery, green pepper, cabbage, carrot, and broccoli and give them a generous shake of salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the broth and water and stir to combine.
5. Bring to a boil and then immediately reduce heat to simmer.
6. Add the tomatoes, basil, and oregano and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like it a little spicy or just want some more flavor, add your desired mix of turmeric, cayenne pepper, and cumin.
*If you're doing the cabbage soup diet, you can triple and quadruple this recipe as you please.

In some quarters, the current fashion seems to be a "just get over it" attitude about September 11. It's been six years. We've moved on. Let's talk about important stuff…. Britney Spears, anyone? Redskins mania? Will "The View" ever be the same?
Seems like we can talk forever about certain inconsequential ephemera, but decry as obsessive any expectation that we might devote even one day to thinking about the roots of terrorism, the horror of war, the evil consequences of hatred and prejudice, the catastrophe for all of civilization that arises from violence.
Let's NOT just get over it.
Instead, let's use this day to think seriously about what happens to all of us when a madman pulls the trigger. September 11 set into motion a series of catastrophic events all over the world, perhaps none so destructive as the war in Iraq. 3,000 innocent victims died at the hands of madmen on September 11, but as of today more than 4,000 coalition troops have died in Iraq, and nearly 30,000 are injured. But this tally does not begin to count the number of Iraqis killed and injured, a number we may never know.
September 11 had the effect of forcing the United States to abandon its leadership for peace and prosperity around the world. Instead, today, the United States is sadly reviled in too many places for fostering war and violence itself as revenge for that terrible day.
Good people of all political persuasions are now deeply engaged in a profoundly serious debate about where we go from here, how to end the war, whether we can ever be truly secure when Osama bin Laden and his associates are still at-large (with, apparently, enough time on his hands to do a cosmetic do-over). We still don't seem to understand that evil survives individuals, and this struggle should be less about capturing one figurehead and more about standing up for what is morally right for all humanity in the face of great provocation.
September 11 forced all civilized people on this planet to confront the question of how to ensure security without completely abandoning hard-won freedoms. We're still debating the balance.
September 11 changed American politics dramatically, and as in 2004, the legacy of that day will most certainly influence the outcome of the 2008 presidential election.
With so many serious issues embodied in the phrase "September 11" how can any serious person say we should just get over it? How we choose to organize our society, how we choose to live — in freedom or fear, in a climate of utmost security or openness to risk — who we choose to lead our nation and what tactics we support to confront the terrorism that will remain with us for many generations — all of these are issues that surely demand our attention, today and every day.
And, of course, we must remember those who went to work that morning never to return. Is it asking too much to remember them for at least one day each year?
Tonight, at 7:30 pm, with the leadership of a student Allyson Portee, the Trinity community is welcome to join us out by the flagpole on the front lawn for a service of prayer and remembrance. If you can't join us then, please take a few minutes today or this week to reflect on this day and these issues. Please share your ideas with me about future programs we might organize to enlarge the conversation on campus about peace and justice and the future of the global village we share.

Five Reasons the Kony Video Went ViralBy
Last week, Invisible Children released a 29-minute video about a Ugandan warlord. Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army aren't your typical viral video sensations—that honor is usually reserved for pratfalls, pranks, and puppies—and yet more than 112 million people so far have watched some form of the charity's Kony 2012 campaign, according to social video analyzer Visible Measures. Invisible Children's video achieved this feat in just six days, making it the most viral video of all time. (Visible Measures counts reposts and response videos, which is why the 112 million number is higher than the original Kony 2012 video's count of 79 million views.) The runner-up behind Kony? That would be Susan Boyle.
Social media has long been a favorite tool of charities and activists, who use platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo to reach the people they're trying to help and simultaneously tug at potential donors' heartstrings. Dan Savage's It Gets Better Project is one of the most adept at this, although none of its videos even comes close to the viewership numbers achieved by Kony 2012. (President Obama's It Gets Better video, for example, has only 1.2 million views.) So why has the Invisible Children video resonated with the Internet community more than the campaigns that came before it? Here are five reasons that Kony 2012 succeeded.
1. It tells a story
"If you have a message, you have to tell it as a story, because that's what entertains people," says David Segura, chief executive of viral video marketing company Giant Media. "If this was structured as a PSA, we probably wouldn't have donated or shared it with our friends." Instead, we're told a story that unfolds over several years. We want to know what happened to Jacob, what happened to Kony, and what is happening now.
According to Invisible Children CEO Ben Keesey, the vast majority of the video's viewers are under 25. "When we make movies, we think about an audience that's in high school," says Keesey. "A 16-year-old girl comes out of algebra class and sits down in an auditorium for a presentation. What does she need to know?" In a sense, Kony 2012 is actually a mini-lecture.
2. The video is about you
Invisible Children co-founder and filmmaker Jason Russell opens Kony 2012 with footage of his son's birth, adding a voiceover that reminds us that this child represents us. "Every single person in the world started this way," Russell tells us. "He didn't choose where or when he was born, but because he's here, he matters." Throughout the video, Russell again connects to us through repeated references to Facebook—he even uses the social network's Timeline feature to help us visualize his story—which is a reference made all the more powerful by the fact many people watched his video when it showed up on their Facebook news feeds.
By including us in the story, Russell has made it easy for us to relate to his friend Jacob's story of terror, heartache, and struggle as a young boy in Uganda. Jacob's story is Russell's story, and Russell's story is ours. In a way, Kony 2012 makes the world seem very small.
3. It's action-packed
Giant Media's Segura says that videos with a lot of visual movement have been proven effective time and again. "The video uses movement as a form of aggression," he explains, in much the same way that the Old Spice guy commercials or more recently the Dollar Shave Club video does, although those two use it to be funny. In Kony 2012, the camera angle is continually shifting. We follow Joseph Kony's actions, shown via reenactments of abductions and grainy footage of the guerrilla leader rallying his soldiers. And we see the mobilized Invisible Children activists meeting with politicians, protesting, and forming a human peace sign. Soon we're swept up into the action, too.
4. Famous people told you about it
"For years we'd been trying to get our message out at a grassroots level, from the bottom up," says Keesey. "This time we thought we'd try the top down." Invisible Children created an information pack for each of its targeted celebrities that included a personalized video about why the charity needed that specific person's help. As Keesey and his colleages knew, the celebrity bump is real and it has helped viral videos in the past. The most famous example is the "Double Rainbow" video, which languished online for seven months before Jimmy Kimmel tweeted about it in July 2010.
"We were going to send these packets out on March 7, last Wedneday, but the video went viral so quickly that most people picked up on it that way, not through us," Keesey says. Rihanna tweeted about the Kony 2012 campaign to her 14.9 million followers before she'd even talked to Invisible Children. Justin Bieber either tweeted or retweeted about the video 10 times to his 18.4 million fans on Twitter—exactly the 16-year-old demographic the charity was trying to reach.
5. The story isn't over
For most viral campaigns, the entertainment ends when the video stops playing. But Kony 2012 is different. It calls on people to take action on a specific day in the future. "Everyone is anticipating that something will happen next," says Segura. "We're all supposed to go out with stamps and posters and become part of something, and these guys are promising that if we do that, something will happen. It's not clear what, but you feel like if you participate, you're going to win. It's brilliant marketing."
Although Invisible Children carefully planned and executed this viral campaign, Keesey said the charity had no idea Kony 2012 would take off the way that it did. "Our stated goal was to get 500,000 views by the end of the year," he says. He thought they were being ambitious. Keesey and his team are only now sifting through the millions of dollars they've received in donations (he wouldn't say how much) and are reassessing their campaign in light of their unexpected success at making the Ugandan guerrilla leader famous. But Invisible Children has changed something else, too: the future of viral marketing. At Giant Media, Segura says, "we're already studying the video and thinking about how to implement some of its strategies for our own clients."

welding without waiting for the metal to cool
This is a good tip for guys working in shops. When you get jobs like these you don't want to be sitting there twiddling thumbs while the metal is cooling cause you'll never get anything done. The solution is simple...Weld as many things as you can at the same time.
So here's a bunch of stuff we can weld!
There's 12 different objects I weld at the same time so by the time I get back to the first thing I welded (the biggest rectangle) it's already cool. The 3 biggest patches had 3-4 staggered tacks on each turn before moving onto the next patch.
now I'll ride the tacks always staggering weld location
driver's side. now I got 6 different patches in rotation.
Good tip..:thumbup:
I never work on one thing at a time.. I would never get anything done...:D
This is what I always do, If I'm doing Metal work, Body work, Fiber glass, Or welding,,Also Primeing or painting,;)
yeah, I do a lot of skipping around while mudding so I'm not waiting for it to cure. I'll either be sanding on something else while it's hardening or I'll start metal bumping another dent.
If there's nothing else to do I might heat up the filler carefully.
Those are some great fitting patch panels. Any particular reason you didn't want to fill in that hole at the top left of that Heat/AC fill panel? I saw where you filled in the one to the right along the seam.
I have to ask...
I have to ask, because I'm green... Is the black line on the right side of the large rectangle goin to be welded more or painted and filled with filler? I ask because I am wondering how perfect this has to be! I have some similar welds on my floor pan and was going to use seam sealer once it is primed.
this is just a quarter mile truck. The black stuff was removed, the little hole next to the one I filled was welded at a later point. For the firewall I simply kitty haired it, sanded, skimmed, sanded, and then one final skim. The firewall will be wavy but we're not getting paid to make it perfect.
I usually keep air hose handy and cool down weld so I can keep on welding.
I usually keep air hose handy and cool down weld so I can keep on welding.
there's something to debate. I don't use air or water cause I believe that the sudden change of temps will warp the metal. If I use air I will let it cool naturally for a little bit then zap it with air, but never right behind the weld.
My focus is more on what kind of area it is. Sometimes it can be surrounded by body lines and be tight/stout and I know I can somewhat hammer on the welds in those areas, then there's spots where you want to make sure it cools down to room temp after each tack. Just depends on the area.
here's an example.
I know I want my first weld on this job to be the one right in the door jamb corner, probably the most important tack of them all in terms of stopping any shifting while welding, other than a couple plug welds in the jamb to keep the gap. Anyhow, So I tack that side then the other and move on. I could have probably pushed it with 3 tacks but that's asking for trouble, but the thought crossed my mind cause I'm looking at the corners, which will contain warpage, and that horizontal body line(can't see in pic), which will also help in those regards.
Then you got this one
This one would appear to be a good one where you can get it a little hot due to the curve in it, but it's still a relatively open area and I'd much rather risk it
on the first area I showed rather than this area.
Nice work on the patches for the firewall.When it comes to the seams on pillars once you have it tacked an inch apart or so have you tried starting in the middle and then moving out towards the left and right?Obviously you still skip around but when you are to the point of welding it solid it seems to help with eliminating warpage.I learned that from an old guy from the philipines who torch welded everything.It works well for mig too,basically you are moving your heat out to the edges instead of the middle where it can warp and buckle.This also works very well when we used to have to use quarter skins back in the day before they came out with good oem type quarters.I also agree with you about not quenching while welding,it can cause more problems by shrinking the weld and surrounding area.
Of course you can control this shrinkage even while cooling it, it can be done. The point is for someone without the knowledge to control it, it is best to do just as Henry as laid out here. I don't take the chance and simply wait to let it cool naturally. It's like I always say, it's not like you nothing else to do on the project right? :D Weld a little and let it cool while you are doing something else, it's not like you have to sit there and stare at it. :D
btw, I'll give that tip a try. thanks.

Dax's GIF
Since some mentioned they liked the GIF I did of Shasta for her birthday, it's only fair I do one for Dax so here's his!
Aweee how fun are these!!! :D
Maybe your signature is older but I see the potential for making one for Zena too?!?
Dang, how cool is that? Now I wanna learn how to do it!
unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Zena or Riley that would work fluently together to do one. Zena and Riley are all before my good camera. Zena lives with my inlaws now and has for a few years because the climate is easier for her allergies and ears back in Colorado than on the coast.
If I can pull off a trip back home, I'll definitely try to get some pictures of her that would work nicely though! She's not real active anymore. Bad hips, stroked on the table in surgery to drain her ears. Still a big ol tank of a dog!
It's really easy!!! I'll send you a message on FB

(Interview) Jonathan Beilin And Erhardt Graeff On Information Flows Between Culture And Communities Online
In the shade of the Austin Convention Center, we spoke to Jonathan Beilin and Erhardt Graeff of the Web Ecology Project the day after their SXSWi Panel, "Seven Years in Online Dating."
This year's SXSWi produced interesting dialogue on the future of ideas, technology and innovation. We were able to talk to some smart speakers there and glean insights on several topics.
In the shade of the Austin Convention Center, we spoke to Jonathan Beilin and Erhardt Graeff of the Web Ecology Project the day after their SXSWi panel, "Seven Years in Online Dating." The Web Ecology Project is a Boston-based research group that focuses on using large-scale data mapping to study information flows between culture and communities online.
Jonathan, at the beginning of your online dating profile, you write, "I'm very busy." Is that a good idea?
Jonathan Beilin: Yes, I've found that that's a good tag to have because lots of people want to ask me what I'm doing. It's a good conversation starter.
Have you reaped dividends on OKCupid by having so much of your public persona viewable elsewhere, and by being an easily Googleable person?
JB: I've found that by being an easily Googleable person, people tend to trust me a lot. A lot of people will say that I'm the first person they've met in real life off of OKCupid because there's this huge paper trail of me online. So it would be very easy to arrest me should I do anything illegal.
How important is design to a site's ability to get registrants? It amazed me that MySpace was so successful with such a bad design.
JB: Well, design is important because there's still a demographic difference between MySpace and Facebook, and there are people who feel that adding a really tacky background and cheesy music to their page is a form of expression that's not allowed on Facebook. Other people really appreciate the consistency and clean design of Facebook, and that segregates your user base. And that is, in some ways, desirable.
Erhardt Graeff: We've seen a lot of people moving from MySpace to Facebook, and not just because of what we call "The Death of MySpace," as people move away, but as people grow older. They'll start a lot younger on MySpace, getting used to that area that allows for more creativity in how you portray yourself and your profile, but then everybody else is on Facebook, and you're more about the communications that happen between people and less about the demonstration of creativity. And maybe you'll keep some of that, on some other place online, but then Facebook is where everybody else is, and there's something calming about that, about everyone having the same look. I think when you get to an older age, even older teenagers, that design aesthetic feels good to them.
I think Match.com won an award for their design, for best designed online dating site. It's almost like a shopping cart, the way it's set up. Maybe that design is really good and wins awards in the online dating community because it works for better monetization of the platform. Whereas OKCupid is a little more flat-profile and looks a little more like Facebook, so it's easy for people to port right over to OKCupid if they're already used to Facebook-type things and feel comfortable with that design. What's a "good" design is incredibly tough to say because a lot of times these sites will cater to niche communities and maybe there's a whole design aesthetic that they need to appeal to there.
How do y'all feel about how "geek" has become a marketing tool and buzzword, as opposed to something that traditionally signified unpopularity?
JB: I think the problem is that the words geek and nerd don't mean that much anymore. There's actually a large linguistic debate to be had about this. If anything becomes worth marketing to, it needs to define some appreciable demographic. So once upon a time, when nerd and geek were being used in a derogatory fashion –
They still are.
JB: Vaguely, but with the rise of movies like Juno and Superbad, the geeky, awkward kid who has weird interests has become – they're mainstream movies, they make hundreds of millions of dollars, and that sort of behavior is seen as being maybe weird or different, but it's not as stigmatized. But the bigger problem is that nerdery and geekery used to be about very specialized bits of interest and some amount of creativity attached to it. Like being a computer nerd used to mean that you could program a little bit, but now people who just use the internet and play games are computer nerds. And that's a much more consumer-oriented, versus creative-oriented, usage of the technology. Same thing for "music nerds" who just read blogs all day but don't play an instrument.
Jonathan, tell me about the game controller you designed.
JB: I recently worked with an independent video game collective called Babycastles. They had a night where people got together and made custom game controllers, and I wanted play with the idea of playing video games being easy, and invert the button. Typically with the button, you exert effort to create input, but I wanted to make a controller where you had to exert lots of effort to prevent any input from happening. So I got a heavyweight clamp that people had to squeeze really hard, just to prevent buttons from being pushed.
What are the lessons one could draw from designing online dating platforms, to other online endeavors?
EG: I think there's a lot of useful data that can be taken from the online dating sphere when people are hoping for an intimate connection with somebody and using certain private communications, because there's a balance between public and private life that they're trying to maintain, and that's something that is carefully curated in an online dating site because you're trying to attract a mate. So in that process, you're thinking very hard about how you want to come across, and every little thing that you get from the other person is a specific signal to you as to how they're feeling. So if all designers are in tune with what's happening on online dating sites to that degree, it could be a helpful insight.
JB: "One thing that's interesting about online dating is that other social networking platforms are focusing on having online representations of existing social networks, whereas dating websites are explicitly about expanding one's social network. If you look at typical use cases on Facebook and LinkedIn and so forth, it's mostly people messaging each other and friending each other who already know each other either in real life or with a couple degrees of separation.
I think there are lessons to be learned from dating websites, especially on business-related websites like LinkedIn to introduce people who could be working together, in terms of basic things like keyword matching on LinkedIn profiles. Because right now, the two ways of finding other people on LinkedIn are through huge lists of various degrees of connections without any filtering or sorting to make any sense of it, or going through through the job postings, and it doesn't match people to jobs that you might post. It's suboptimal, and the same matching algorithms that are used in online dating could be applied to business websites.
EG: We've already seen that to a certain degree with Friendster, because Friendster was originally a dating site. And really, that set the template for social networks like Facebook going forward, with these profiles that feature prominently your cultural interests – music, movies, food, etc. They've already been learning lessons from the online dating platforms out there, and I'm sure that's going to be a closely connected set of design spaces from here on.
OKTrends presents some interesting data.
JB: One thing that I really like about the OKTrends reporting is that it's culled data that was collected before people even knew that OKTrends was going to occur. So it's a particularly natural sampling. In some cases, it happens to match expected results from other studies that have been performed more generally in real life.
As an OKCupid user, does it make you feel good to be on the site, knowing they are collecting this data?
JB: I guess I feel like maybe my participation in the site is somewhat less frivolous, if I'm at least contributing to a data set.
Thanks, Jonathan and Erhardt!

May 31st Apple Thinning Update Based on the Carbon Balance Model
Posted: May 31, 2011
It is predicted to cool off and remain sunny by Friday, and it may be prudent to wait until then to apply any final chemical thinners. It should be noted that the model outcomes are based upon FREC temperatures, FREC sunlight and FREC bud break, so these outcomes are not totally accurate for other locations. Also, the projection is only as good as the weather forecast that it is based upon. Nevertheless, the carbon balance model helps us to gain a better understanding of how apple trees will react to chemical thinners based on the weather.
Dr Alan Lakso at Cornell University developed this carbohydrate balance model for apple, and we are testing it for predicting fruit set. The model estimates carbohydrate supply and demand, and then calculates the carbon balance of the trees. During times of high supply and low demand (sunny and cool), the balance is positive and it is difficult to thin chemically. When the balance is slightly negative (0 to -20°F), chemical thinning becomes easier. When the balance drops to the range of -40°, the trees are under significant carbohydrate stress, and chemical thinning will be strong. Below -40°, the natural stress may be so severe that some fruits will be shed even when thinners aren't used. Below -40° the response to chemical thinners is likely to be very strong.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Friday November 29th, 2013 10:34am
The NCAA Division II landscape continues to evolve, showcasing outstanding lacrosse that's oftentimes overlooked by the lacrosse world. One of the team's to keep an eye on in 2014 will be the Colorado Mesa Mavericks, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, and coached by A.J. Stevens. The team competes in the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associate, which is part of Division II's South region.

- 1920 x 1080 2ms
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
The leap to 120Hz 08/12/2012
This review is from: Asus VG236H 23" 2ms 1920x1080 Full HD HDMI multimedia Height & Swivel Adjustable WideScreen LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor w/nVidia 3D Vision Kit hard bundle 400 cd/m2 100,000:1 (ASCR)
Beautiful screen! It is very sharp and the color contrast is great. 120Hz is absolutely amazing for gaming. The smoothness is everything I wanted. Has a VESA mount. I have not noticed ghosting or bleeding much at all. Has completely eliminated screen tearing at 120Hz.
1 stuck pixel. It is hardly noticeable. The pixel is stuck at a certain shade of red that I only notice in World of Warcraft in Orgrimmar, that shade of red. Have not noticed it in any other game or on my desktop. 60Hz on this monitor REALLY sucks, screen tearing all about. I have another Asus monitor, VH242H, and it does 60Hz much better than this one. Some games do not support 120Hz and then I suffer, such as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Some games require changing DirectX from 11 to 9 to get 120Hz, kind of sucks. The viewing angle also kind of sucks, but is not an issue for a single user on a well adjusted setup.
Other Thoughts:
This is the cheapest good-enough quality 120Hz monitor with a VESA mount I could find. I am happy with my purchase. I have not tried the 3d, I have ATI cards and I haven't even bothered with it. It's amazing for FPS games. I've been playing Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 and it's beautiful. Starcraft 2 looks brilliant as well. Waiting for CS:GO!
I think I will stick with 120Hz from now on no matter what. Doesn't matter if its 1440p or an IPS monitor! 120Hz is that good. Gives me the silky smoothness I've always wanted, I feel like my computer can now show me its true performance. Never knew a monitor would make that big of a difference. Keeping vsync off and having no tearing gives me a performance boost!

Per Sundin, managing director of Universal Music Sweden, told The Swedish Wire: "In five months from the launch, Spotify became our largest digital source of income and so passed by iTunes.
"It's a fantastic development, explained by the fact that Spotify really has exploded."
Spotify does not disclose its arrangements with royalty collectors, however it has been reported that major music labels, as well as the major independent labels, have equity in Spotify.
If true, labels are not just making money from royalties each time a track is streamed but would be in line for a share of profit from Spotify's premium subscriptions and advertising income.
In the UK, the largest digital income record labels receive still comes from the sale of tracks and albums via iTunes.
However, industry sources predict that Spotify will generate significant revenue for UK record labels within the next six months if the site continues to grow at its current rate.
A Spotify spokesman told the Daily Telegraph: "Collectively we won't be able to change the music industry model overnight -- we're seeing revenues grow month-on-month which are being shared with rights holders in line with our agreements."
However the spokesman said that Spotify expected to take "up to two years" to grow to a sufficient size in order to become a "material revenue generator for artists".

A federal judge has ordered Sunnyvale-based Crazy Buffet to pay its workers $404,000 in damages following a U.S. Department of Labor investigation. The Chinese-food buffet restaurant had a policy of not paying wages to workers, although it allowed them to keep their tips.
Of course, that violates the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
The restaurant issued paychecks to the employees, but then insisted they return everything but their tips to the company.
Additionally, Crazy Buffet refused to pay overtime to workers who worked more than 40 hours in a week.
Crazy Buffet could have saved a bundle if it had cooperated with the court in the first place. The DOL's original filing only asked for $44,570 in unpaid minimum wages and $157,380 in overtime compensation. But when the restaurant and its owner Zhou Ni refused to pay, Federal Judge Ronald M. Whyte doubled the damages.

The government plans to set up a body to help midsize firms expand abroad and contribute to the domestic economy.
The plan will be included in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's growth strategy when it is finalized in June, informed sources said Saturday.
While the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan External Trade Organization will take the lead in establishing the new body, municipalities, regional banks and the government-backed Development Bank of Japan are expected to help, they said.
The body will be designed to consolidate existing advisory, staffing and other services provided separately by prefectural governments, regional banks and other organizations to help firms eager to expand into growing markets.

"I was concerned that the typeface might be a bit small, but it all looks great. Very professional, and a bit swish also. I could not be happier."
"I was looking for something that was simple and beautiful at the same time. I came across this card and knew it was what I wanted. The detail with the color of the name along with the thin lines adds such a nice touch. I was not expecting such a good quality with the paper and was pleasantly surprised. I already have recommended this card along with the site to my friends. Thank you!"
"The designers at Tiny Prints is what makes them stand out from any company offering business cards. The ability to customize both sides of this card is absolutely wonderful. My husband's business cards are AMAZING! Thank you, designers for your amazing work! So glad, we chose Tiny Prints."
"This card came out really well. I spent a lot of time looking at a competitors website because they were a little cheaper but I didn't like the designs. The customer service was great, and I got my cards 5 days before I was expecting them. They were worth spending a little more money. I will continue to buy products from them!"
"I knew exactly what I wanted for my business card - a clean, modern design that somehow incorporated plastic framed glasses - referencing one of the physical traits and style elements that makes me memorable. I was so thrilled to find the perfect version of my vision in an affordable price, with a quick turnaround and a quality product!"

Toledo picked up an 8-2 win over Indianapolis on Friday evening, behind some strong pitching and a good start from Ryan Ketchner. Ketchner got the win, going 5 1/3 innings, allowing one run in that stretch. Zach Simons also tossed 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. The offense was driven by the long ball, as three home runs produced six of their runs. Jeff Frazier belted a two run shot, Michael Bertram added a three run blast, and Chris White chipped in with a solo homer. Cale Iorg also had three hits including a double and drove in the club's other two runs.
The SeaWolves fell to Akron 5-2 as Brayan Villarreal took his fourth loss while still searching for his first Double-A win. Villarreal still turned in a strong start though, giving up two runs in five innings of work with seven strikeouts. Jay Voss had a rough outing in relief though, giving up three more runs to give Akron a cushion that the Erie offense couldn't overcome. Rawley Bishop and Bryan Pounds each had a hit and drove in a run, while Brandon Douglas added three hits and scored both of the club's runs.
The Flying Tigers were quiet with the bats for ten innings, but when the 11th rolled around they awoke and helped push the charge to a 5-1 win. Jacob Turner got the start and a no decision, tossing five shutout innings, scattering just three hits while striking out five. But Wilfredo Ramirez allowed a run in relief to lose LFT's one-run lead, and the game would remain tied until five straight singles got a couple runs across and then pushed one more across thanks to a wild pitch. Jordan Lennerton had two hits including a double and an RBI for the team. Patrick McKenna, Francisco Martinez and Bryan Holaday each had an RBI also. Jared Gayhart got the win in relief.
The Whitecaps weren't able to generate much offense, but they were able to generate enough to pick up a 2-1 win as they cling to their slim lead on the final playoff spot. Victor Larez got the win, giving up a run in 6 1/3 innings. Zach Samuels tossed 1 2/3 innings of shutout relief, and Kenny Faulk pitched a shutout ninth inning to earn his 11th save. Clay Jones had two hits for the club, and also scored once and drove in another, while Tony Plagman added two hits including a double and scored a run.
And just like that, Connecticut has moved into a first place in the Stedler division after their 8-2 win over Vermont on Friday. Patrick Lawson earned the win for the CT-Tigers, giving up two runs on just one hit in 5 1/3 innings of work. Lawson battled his control, walking six, but was still able to make it through five-plus innings and earn the win. Tyler Clark and Drew Gagnier weren't able to manage their control much better as they each walked three to make it 12 total for the game, but they didn't allow a run en route to closing the game out. James Robbins led the way at the plate, going 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. Ryan Soares also added three hits and two RBI.
The GCL Tigers moved a game above .500 with a 4-3 win over the GCL Phillies in 11 innings. Kyle Ryan got the start and a no decision, giving up three runs (two earned) in six innings of work. Fernando Celis, Scott Green and Jack Duffey combined to toss five shutout innings of relief, with Duffey getting the win. Steven Moya drove in the winning run via a two-out triple in the 11th inning. Patrick Leyland also had two hits and an RBI, and Nick Castellanos scored a run and drove in one while walking twice.

Thomas Johnson (November 4, 1732 – October 26, 1819) was an American jurist with a distinguished political career. He was the first Governor of Maryland, a delegate to the Continental Congress and an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Johnson was born in Calvert County, Maryland, on November 4, the son of Thomas and Dorcas Sedgwick Johnson. His grandfather, also named Thomas, was a lawyer in London who emigrated to Maryland sometime before 1700. He was the fourth of ten children, some of whom also had large families. (His brother Joshua's daughter Louisa Johnson married John Quincy Adams.)
The family, including Thomas, were educated at home. The young man was attracted to the law, studied it, and was admitted to the Maryland bar in 1753. By 1760, he had moved his practice to Frederick County, Maryland. He was also elected for the first time to the provincial assembly in 1761. This Thomas Johnson married Ann Jennings, the daughter of an Annapolis judge on February 16, 1766.
The couple had eight children: Thomas Jennings, Ann Jennings, Rebecca (who died in infancy), Elizabeth, Rebecca Jennings, James, Joshua, and Dorcas.
Revolutionary years
In 1774 and 1775 the Maryland assembly sent him as a delegate to the Continental Congress. In the Congress he was firmly in the camp of those who favored separation from Great Britain. In 1775, Congress created a committee of Secret Correspondence that was to seek foreign support for the war. Thomas Johnson was a committeeman along with Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Benjamin Harrison and John Jay.
He returned to Maryland and continued his work in the Assembly so he missed the chance to join in the United States Declaration of Independence. But in 1775 he did draft a declaration of rights adopted by the Maryland assembly. The declaration was later included as the first part of the state's first constitution, which was adopted for Maryland by the state's constitutional convention at Annapolis in 1776. He also began his service as brigadier general in the Maryland militia. In addition to his political activities, he and his brother Roger supported the revolution by manufacturing ammunition. The remains of their factory, Catoctin Furnace, is located just north of Frederick, Maryland.
As Maryland began to exercise its newly declared autonomy, the state legislature elected Thomas as the state's first Governor in 1777. He served in that capacity until 1779. In the 1780s he held a number of judicial posts in Maryland, and served in the assembly in 1780, 1786, and 1787. In 1785 he was one of the commissioners from Maryland and Virginia that met at Mount Vernon to agree on jurisdiction and navigation rules for the Potomac River. He attended the Maryland Convention in 1788, where he successfully urged the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Federal years
In September 1789, President George Washington nominated Johnson to be the first federal judge for the District of Maryland, but he declined the appointment. In 1790 and 1791, Johnson was the senior justice in the Maryland General Court system. In January 1791, President Washington appointed him, with David Stuart and Daniel Carroll, to the commission that would lay out the federal capital in accordance with the Residence Act of 1790. Among other contributions, in September 1791 the commissioners named the federal city "The City of Washington" and the federal district "The Territory of Columbia".
On August 5, 1791, Johnson received a recess appointment from Washington to the seat on the U.S. Supreme Court that became available after John Rutledge resigned. Formally nominated on October 31, 1791, Johnson was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 7, 1791, and received his commission that day. Johnson was the author of the Court's first written opinion, Georgia v. Brailsford, in 1792. He served on the court until January 16, 1793, when he resigned due to the difficulties of circuit-riding with his poor health, giving him the shortest tenure (to date) on the Court. His health also made him decline Washington's 1795 offer to make him Secretary of State, an office for which Thomas Jefferson had recommended him. On February 28, 1801, President John Adams named him chief judge for the District of Columbia.
Later life
His daughter Ann had married John Colin Grahame in 1788, and in his later years he lived with them in a home they had built in Frederick, Maryland. The home, called Rose Hill Manor, is now a county park, and is open to the public (a high school with his namesake is on half of the Rose Hill property). Thomas was in very poor health for many years. He did deliver a eulogy for his friend George Washington at a birthday memorial service on February 22, 1800. He died at Rose Hill on October 26, 1819, and He was originally buried in All Saints churchyard. His remains were removed and reinterred at Mount Olivet Cemetery 515 South Market Street in Frederick.
Monuments and memorials
More than one school is named after Thomas Johnson, e.g., Governor Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick, Maryland, Governor Thomas Johnson Middle School in Frederick, Maryland, Thomas Johnson Middle School in Lanham, Maryland and Thomas Johnson Elementary School in Baltimore, Maryland.
In 1978, the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge was opened to traffic after being named for Johnson. The bridge crosses the Patuxent River and connects Calvert County, Maryland with St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Replace your windshield every 5 years
Many people think that they do not need to replace the windshield because it can be long lasting but it is wrong. To ensure the safety when driving, we should replace the windshield at least 5 years. It needs because if we used the old windshield, the risk of broken glass is bigger than we used the new windshield. Phoenix windshield replacement can help us to replace our old windshield. They have many professional technicians who can give us the best windshield for our cars. Usually, people believe if the windshield from the manufacturer is safe and durable but in fact, it is not true. Not all windshield glass durable and resistant to the weather. It is also not 100% safety because it was produced in large quantities. We can choose the model of the windshield that we want but we should ensure if it is suitable and fit.
We do not have to wait for broken glass if we want to replace the windshield. Besides it is dangerous, we also do not know when the windshield glass will break. Certainly, we do not want if the windshield is broke when we are driving because it can make us get an injury or worse. The windshield can not withstand the intense heat. The material of the windshield may melt slowly and it can not be seen. It also can not withstand extreme weather that can come anytime. Even it made of a strong material, it can not last forever especially if it has been broken. Therefore, the car repair shop or auto glass companies advice to replace the windshield in 5 years or 6 years. It can prevent anything bad that we can not predict the future. So, go to the auto glass and replace the windshield immediately because it can save our lives.

Programmatic advertising is revolutionizing the way online display is traded. It is set for high growth in 2015 across all of Europe and is a top item on marketers' list of tech to investigate this year. After an initial take-up limited to direct-response, brand marketers are showing growing interest in programmatic buying and dedicating larger budgets to programmatic display campaigns. They embrace the ability to leverage first-party data to reach customers online and understand that therein lays their competitive advantage in the world of online display.
At the same time, European publishers – eager to meet brand marketers' demand for more targeted, automated deals – are increasing the amount of premium inventory available through exchanges, primarily through private marketplaces. "In Europe, we see inventory and programmatic deals that are becoming more premium – even more so than in the US at moment," notes Jerome Underhill, vice president of services and operations EMEA at AppNexus. These trends will fuel the growth of online media advertising spend, which will continue to expand at an annual rate of 12% in Western Europe until 2019.

If you are, like me, deeply involved with digital advertising, one of the industry mantras of the last few years was anything with a taste of "PROGRAMMATIC."
Yes, you can say it with me now: "PRO·GRAM·MAT·IC." Ahhhh.
In reality, I think that we are only starting now to truly see programmatic methods and techniques adopted by ad sellers and buyers. Finally, in 2014 we have seen marketing leaders driving their digital media buying practices forward by combining rich customer data with algorithmically driven buying platforms to make digital advertising dollars more effective in reaching target audiences. And, while there is a long road ahead of us before the robots become self-aware, there are some key trends shaping the industry that point to a more sophisticated future for media buying:
1) Budget increases - Major brands and massive holding companies have huge goals for programmatic spending. With P&G striving to buy 70% to 75% of digital ads programmatically by the end of the year, Google striving for 60% of digital marketing budget on programmatic, and what seems like an arms race amongst the holding companies to see who can spend more programmatically, the future of software-driven media buying looks bright.
2) Growth in TV-land - As marketing leaders have started to up the ante for programmatic, sellers have taken notice, specifically across video and TV. The buzz about programmatic TV is taking hold, and we are seeing a new generation of ad tech commit to solving that problem for advertisers.

The acquisition of [X+1] by Rocketfuel signals the beginning of the end for "programmatic" ad networks. Since the industry's shift to programmatic, countless ad networks have changed how they market themselves, adjusting their sales language to mimic legitimate programmatic platforms. The "programmatic" ad network insertion order-based and flat-rate business model has prolonged the black box opacity that spurred the need for demand side platforms and exchange based media buying. It's only fitting that one of the industry's most successful "programmatic" ad networks — Rocketfuel — is addressing client demand by making a move that launches them into the digital marketing SaaS market.
There is a lot to be said about the success that Rocketfuel has had in the industry; they have done great things for marketers looking to automate audience prospecting and retargeting. They certainly have done an amazing job marketing their programmatic chops, with the success of their AI product and their success with agencies running performance based campaigns. Their recent revenue growth and the fact that Rocketfuel had the capital to acquire a DSP/DMP in [X+1], are testaments to the success that they have had in the industry.
Despite their success, prolonging opacity for marketers in this market is a short-term strategy, and Rocketfuel is positioning itself for long-term success.
Coming from the agency trading desk world, I did not partner with Rocketfuel for several reasons:

Programmatic – one of digital marketing's buzzwords of 2014. It seems today everyone is doing programmatic ad buying – and if you're not, then some would say your media strategy is lagging behind.
Most marketers are still trying to make sense of the programmatic buying space and answer questions like:
