Are you a member of the NRA? If not, now would be a good time to join, we need them now more than ever! I've been trying to do more and recruit more people lately.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.
Signed: Me!
Join but also support businesses that in turn support the cause.
I mainly use MidwayUSA for online purchases, they have good selection at good prices and they do an NRA roundup that has raised millions of dollars.
There was a poll just a week or two ago, asking about what firearms rights/advocacy groups folks belonged to: click here.
I hope the NRA, JPFO and others double their membership this year.
NRA and state group, here.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I have to admit I don't currently belong to any pro-gun group. A bad failing on my part I guess. I need to join either/both BFA and OFCC as both seem to be active in Ohio. I was a member of the NRA years ago but it expired and I let it drop. Sometimes the NRA does things that I disagree with but overall they are good so I shouldn't let that color my decisions.
For Linda or someone else, on the BFA website if you hit the "donate" button is that how you join?

The NRA and I do not agree 100% on every issue, but I am now a member again. The anti-s made me do it!
I will probably save a lot of money by rejoining - don't have to go to the barber shop to read American Rifleman any more.
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
The NRA would be well served to publish a new magazine targetting political centerists, libertarians or those that are apolitical.
I find the demonisation of all aspects of the Democrats in 'First Freedom' to be uninformed. Sure, Democrats have amongst them the primary antis, but there are also Democrats that are very gun friendly that have never considered joining the NRA because of the exclusive partisan politics.
Life Member.
Don't always agree with them but without the NRA, we would be living under nationwide strict gun control if not outright bans.
fortiter in re, suaviter in modo (resolutely in action, gently in manner).
I'm a life member also. I believe in their work. Also, a member of the Texas State Rifle Association, they are great.
...one jagged hole!
I just joined (2 year membership) due to this very thread.
I've been thinking about it for a while but never got around to it. The rush for more legislation following the VT shootings is enough for me to get on board.
Thanks for the heads up!
Don't forget to join the GOA too.
I've been an annual member for a number of years. I did 2 days ago donate to the NRA-ILA however as a pre-emptive measure against what's sure to be coming down the pike in response to the Va Tech crime.
Everyone who is not a member should join. Everyone who is a member should get someone else to join, even if you have to pay for their membership. I bought a friend a year membership at the convention last weekend.
If the polliticians fear the NRA at 4 million members. Imagine our effect at 8 million, or better yet 80 million.
"Some people go to bed with Lucifer..........then cry, cry, cry when they don't greet the day with God."
Paid up several years in advance!Maybe it's time to become lifetime member?
Just went from Life member to Endowment last week.

The nation of Sri Lanka was tormented for over two decades by a civil war between people of differing religions and differing beliefs. It was during this conflict that dissidents developed the concept of suicide bombers and quite often employed women to accomplish the task of death and destruction. The infamous LTTE were finally defeated by means that matched in ferocity those employed by Tamil rebels. It was basically a contest of which group could outdo the other when it came to torture and violence. Observers believe thousands of innocent Tamil civilians died in the last stages of the war. Since then the Sri Lanka government has never acknowledged a single example of violation of human rights. Triumph over evil simply allowed the victors to take over the government, in the name of peace, and impose a brutal, but peaceful regime.
The Sri Lanka government finally admitted to acts of violence. A video is being circulated on the Internet which shows Sri Lanka female recruits being beaten up by male soldiers and brutalized. The Arm issued a statement that "the video in question is accurate." How about following up and admitting other videos which depict the murder of innocent Tamils are also accurate?

Born in the doctor's bed in a leper colony, Shirl Tucker spent her early years in Zambia. Despite having no access to children's books, her love of story began with her father who entertained the family with spontaneous stories of animals while traveling long distances on dusty roads. At eight, she moved with her family to Zimbabwe where she eventually became a teacher and told stories of her own. Off on the next leg of her country-hopping life, she moved to South Africa where she met her Canadian husband, Mark. Three wonderful children followed and then another country move – to Canada this time.
In 2007, the children now grown, stayed in Canada while Shirl and Mark returned to South Africa where they founded Phakamani Foundation, an organization that lends money, with training and support, to poor people in South Africa to build small businesses. Diamonds in the Dust is the grand prize winner of Athanatos Christian Ministry's very first Christian novel contest.
Shortly after this was announced, ACM extended an offer to publish, which Mrs. Tucker accepted. The book was released in December, 2011.

Author Interview
Q1: Why do you write?
I love words. I love how placing certain ones together can paint a picture which takes you by the hand and flies you to faraway places, to experience new sights, sounds and smells and touch, to spend time with people you want to be like, to open your eyes to things you wish didn't know but need to, to change your heart, bring understanding. Words placed in the right place, at the right time, for the right reason have real power and I get the privilege to wield it.
Q2: How would you describe your writing 'method'?
This question has multi-faceted answers when a person writes in various categories - novels, short story, devotionals, prose etc. Novels obviously need a lot more research, planning, characterization and plotting before you even start. But the very nature of creativity insists there's an element of surprise and enjoyment for me as the writer.
So, in my book, Diamonds in the Dust, I only mapped out the bones of the story, some of the main incidents and the ending (which I knew only in terms of the outcome.) Then the journey of writing became one of discovery as I waited for my characters to tell me where to go. I wove many true stories into the tale and so painted the faces of some of the orphans in South Africa. It was important to me that readers saw the child not the statistic. It was done in the context of a mystery, which kept the pages turning yet revealed the heartbeat and resilience of children surviving in appalling circumstances.
For short story, depending on its purpose, the twist in the 'tail' is what catches my attention and I spend time working on it. Or if the story is more of an allegory or word picture to illustrate a truth or point, I concentrate on a creative way to show it through story in a non-preachy, non- judgmental way. For the devotional, it often comes through my own time with God as He speaks to me. For all of them, intentionality and clarity is what I strive for.
Q3: How would you respond to the classic question, "Is there Christian art, or artists who are Christians?"
Writing is an art. Christians are the artists. Words are their paintbrush.
Q4: Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring authors?
Study and hone the craft of writing. Don't be satisfied by natural talent or gift. Be the best writer you can be. Rewrite. Rewrite. Rewrite. There's no short cut to good writing. Be creative. Use strong verbs. Be particular about using the right word. Understand shades of meaning in words. Even in your creativity, be concise. Once you've gained success, don't get complacent.
Q5: Which of your creations has brought you the most joy?
Hard to answer so instead I'll say, I get joy when I read something I've written and think, "That's good! It achieves exactly what I set out to do," whether it's a four liner or a story.
Q6: Which has brought you the most heartache?
I have a passion for the plight of our rhinos which are being killed at an alarming rate in my country, South Africa. So I started writing about poaching in an adult mystery. After several chapters it wasn't working for me so I decided to write it as a children's mystery. After working on that for a while, it didn't work either. So, I'm still passionate but stuck.
Q7: Is there anything you'd like to say?
It's a privilege to write. Our words enter the homes and lives of people whatever the genre of writing. The power of words to bring laughter, wonder, thrills, adventure, mystery, understanding, also brings responsibility. Writers, of whatever persuasion, can shape the beliefs, opinions, or understanding of readers – especially children. I feel that responsibility strongly. I want to make my writing to count. Somehow.

The Apple iOS 7 3D illusion of a parallax view—icons seem to float above your home screen—underscores the feeling that the iOS 7 interface is made up of layers.
The most mind-blowing moment of Apple's iOS 7 video during the keynote was probably the parallax effect that happens when you move your phone: The icons on the home screen stay still while the background image moves slightly underneath them. The effect in Apple's video is much more pronounced than the one that's visible in the developer beta. Apple executives told us that the parallax effect is a bit of a work in progress, and it hasn't yet been decided just how pronounced it will eventually be.
Apple has organized iOS 7 in layers, using the motion sensors in the device to give a real sense of 3D depth. As you move the phone, the layers move in 3D space—you can appreciate the parallax effect, which gives an impressive sense of depth
The OS uses translucency to further enhance the effect, putting things that are not in use behind what the user needs to focus on; when a dialog pops, it does so on its own layer on top of what you were previously looking at. The previous layer recedes back, establishing a clear relationship between the elements being displayed on the screen.
A PerfectFit for life!

By Ashleigh Patterson
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadians who may have become tired of being passed over as porn stars will have a new, home-grown outlet to showcase their erotic talents.
Federal regulators have granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval to launch a new digital pornography channel, which promises to serve up at least 50 percent domestic content.
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the Category 2 pay-television service on Wednesday, allowing Northern Peaks to become "Canada's first adult video channel offering significant Canadian adult content."
"I think as Canadians there is a bit of a tiredness in seeing all American stuff," Shaun Donnelly, president of Real Productions, said during an interview on Friday.
"There is always that thrill for something that is local and you get the sense that these are people you can meet at the supermarket."
The CRTC only required 15 percent Canadian content, but Northern Peaks agreed to provide "not less than 50 percent of the broadcast day and not less than 50 percent of the evening broadcast period to Canadian programming," according to the license.
"We want to be Canada's adult channel and I think to do that, 15 percent wouldn't cut it," Donnelly said.
Real Productions boasts the largest collection of Canadian adult-themed content in the country with more than 200 film titles and 75 television episodes in its library. Continued...

KO Kings II: Soto Karass KOs Berto; Figueroa wins war against Arakawa; Thurman KOs Chaves
Photos: Tom Casino / Showtime
Welterweight veteran Jesus Soto Karass (28-8-3, 18 KOs) scored a dramatic twelfth round KO over former welterweight champion Andre Berto (28-3, 22 KOs) to claim the vacant NABF welterweight title on Saturday night before 8,811 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. Soto Karass rocked Berto in round one. Berto came back in rounds two and three, but Soto Karass hurt Berto again in round four. Berto was having problems with his right shoulder and took more heavy shots in round five. The one-armed Berto persevered and dropped Soto Karass in round eleven, but Soto Karass knocked down Berto in the twelfth with a left hook and the bout was stopped! Time was :48. At the time of the stoppage, the cards were 105-103 Berto, 105-103 Soto Karass and 104-104.
In an all out war, unbeaten lightweight Omar Figueroa (22-0-1, 17 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Nihito Arakawa (24-3-1, 16 KOs) to win the WBC interim lightweight title. The fighters went right at it in round one with Figueroa having the power advantage. Figueroa scored a flash knockdown in round two. Rounds three-five were close as both fighters traded shots with reckless abandon. Figueroa scored another knockdown in round six. Arakawa fought back courageously and the war continued. Figueroa seemingly injured both hands and Arakawa closed the last two rounds strong, but it was too little, too late. Scores were 118-108, 118-108, 119-107.
In a tense, good action fight between unbeaten welterweights, Keith Thurman (21-0, 19 KOs) scored a tenth round KO to dethrone WBA interim welterweight titlist Diego Chaves (22-1, 18 KOs). It was a very close fight through the first eight rounds. The turning point was in round nine when Thurman dropped Chaves with a body shot. Thurman swarmed all over Chaves at the beginning of round ten and floored Chaves again to get the KO. Time was :28. Thurman drew boos from the crowd during his post fight interview when he accidentally thanked San Diego instead of San Antonio. Thurman picked up an extra $10,000 for having the KO Kings II knockout of the night.
Unbeaten light heavyweight Anthony Dirrell (26-0, 22 KOs) scored an impressive third round TKO over Anthony Hanshaw (23-4-2, 14 KOs). Two big right hands dropped Hanshaw and the bout was stopped. Time was 2:36.
Super featherweight prospect Andrew Cancio (15-2-2, 11 KOs) hammered out a ten round unanimous decision over Jerry Belmontes (18-2, 5 KOs).
6-foot jr welterweight Armando Cardenas (2-0, 2 KO) blew away Stephan Salazar (0-1) in 81 seconds.
Local super featherweight Joseph Rodriguez (4-0, 2 KOs) outpointed Jesse Anguiano (1-3-1, 1 KO) over four by scores of 39-37. 40-36, 40-36.

This "trackIR" Sometimes Gets Lost
By John Williams
When degenerative illness or a traumatic injury reduces a person's ability to control his or her body, the muscles that move the hands, fingers, eyes, and head often retain at least some of their capabilities. That's why scientists have long tried to build interactive systems that would allow a computer user to control an interface through the motions of these parts alone.
They have had some success. The U.S. military uses eye- and head-motion tracking to guide weapons systems. And several companies have built devices they claim can accurately track glances or subtle head and hand motions and convert them into cursor movements. But these expensive systems have yet to filter down to the general market for assistive technology.
Software company Eye Control Technologies, aims to change that. For $99, virtually anyone can afford ECT's trackIR, a kit that includes special NaturalPoint software, shiny dots, rings, a wand that users wear or hold, and a receptor device that tracks the reflections off these devices.
The system is definitely a promising product, and it does have the potential to permit easier control of Windows software. But it still has some flaws. For example, sunlight sometimes interferes with the trackIR's operation, and a wealth of options can easily overwhelm or confuse a user. Reluctantly, I must say I can't recommend it yet.
Here's how it works: Users first install software from two floppy disks onto their computer. They then connect a highly sensitive black-and-white camera mounted on a tripod to their PC via its USB port. The camera sits atop a regular cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor or next to a laptop or flat-panel display and points toward the user. It's designed to track infrared light reflected by shiny material stuck to the wand or ring, or bounced off pea-size dots affixed to the skin or a piece of clothing, such as the brim of a hat.
Using infrared reflections, subtle movements of the hand, head, or fingers are converted by the camera into a series of three-dimensional coordinates. The NaturalPoint software, in turn, translates these coordinates into cursor actions or other user commands, such as quit or open. You can use the trackIR in place of, or in tandem with, a mouse. The software can also be configured to recognize special gestures and movements that activate more complex functions -- for example, a waggle of the finger from right to left could translate into turning an on-screen page.
It all sounds nifty. But it's no piece of cake to make trackIR work. The software installation went smoothly. But the problems started when I tried to put the camera on top of my monitor. The trackIR's three legs did not fit properly into slots on the monitor. And the foam rubber pads at the end of each leg proved no better. I looked in the instruction booklet but found no clues. Eventually, I had to tape the left and right legs to the monitor's top. On my second day of using the trackIR, I had retape the camera to prevent it from toppling off the monitor.
Once I had attached the trackIR to my monitor, I plugged the cable into the USB port on my desktop PC. The computer installed the drivers for the trackIR quickly. I double-clicked on the NaturalPoint icon on my desktop to open up the program. Then I followed the instructions by placing a dot on my finger. I waved the dot in front of the trackIR while waiting for a green light on the camera to blink. This would indicate that the program was ready, an event that should have been followed by the cursor following my finger motions. Nothing blinked. Nor did the cursor move in step with my finger.
I closed the program, reopened it, and tried the whole procedure again. Nothing happened. I closed and reopened the program yet again. Still nothing. Frustrated, I visited the manual's troubleshooting section. After trying several of its suggestions, I managed to get the green light and could finally work the program. But I had spent more than an hour getting the trackIR up and running.
Next, I learned how to navigate the NaturalPoint software. A diagram on the monitor illustrated all the program's options and functions. It has slow, medium, fast, and custom settings that determine the speed and distance the cursor moves in reaction to the motions of the reflective dot, ring, or wand. Initially, I selected the slow setting. (Eventually, I moved to the medium and fast settings, but never tried the custom one.) I placed the dot on my forehead and then clicked on the icon on the left side of the monitor. I adjusted the trackIR so the dot and beam were properly aligned.
Once I became accustomed to the dot's movements, I scrolled pages up and down, moved them left and right, and highlighted copy. The trackIR requires little body movement for readable reflective motions. But getting the system to work to my satisfaction was a slow process that took hours. In fact, I believe that using speech-recognition software and a regular mouse, one can achieve the same effect with less time and effort.
Each of the three reflective devices have their own problems, too. I stuck one of the reflective dots to my forehead. I felt kind of goofy, but it seemed to work O.K. But it was a hot day, and I started to sweat a bit. When the sweat from my forehead dripped onto the dot, it stopped working and had to be replaced permanently. So much for reusable dots.
Next, I tried the ring. I wore it on my right index finger and was able to perform the same functions I did with the dot by aiming the ring at the screen and slightly moving my hand. But the ring was too small for my fingers (which are large, I confess), and I never grew completely comfortable with it. Worse, to use the ring I had to move the trackIR camera from the top of the monitor to a place just above the keyboard. To secure the camera, I taped it onto a small box. And I couldn't help but think the tape companies should invest in ECT.
Finally, I pulled out the small reflective wand. Unlike the other two infrared reflectors, the wand works when a user is a good ways away from the keyboard and camera. To use the wand, you hold it between your thumb and forefinger and click a button. Audio feedback tells you when you have successfully activated the wand function on NaturalPoint. After that, any wand movements should shift the cursor onscreen and control other programmed functions. But when I stood to the right of the wand and out of the way of the trackIR camera, I got no response.
Additional features added more confusion than functionality. For example, a "Gravity" feature exists for clicking on icons such as check boxes. When this feature is active, the cursor will jump to whatever icon or button you're trying to hit and lock on for a moment. But if there are multiple check boxes in a row, say, the cursor can easily glom onto the wrong one.
Another feature, called "dwell clicking," is supposed to give users total hands-free control of the computer. When a user clicks on the dwell-clicking icon, a bar with six buttons appears at the top of the screen. The buttons on the bar are used for double clicking, dragging, right clicking, and opening a more advanced dwell-clicking options menu. For me, this was simply too many buttons doing too many things.
Another problem was trackIR's sensitivity to direct sunlight, a condition that seemed to reduce the camera's ability to pick out motions of the reflective medium. That was a big strike in my book, since I like the sunlight coming over my shoulder while I am working. As I final test, I gave my software-guru son a chance to test drive trackIR. After four hours of trying, he, too, was exasperated.
All this isn't to say trackIR is useless. The product is inexpensive and available to just about anyone. The technology clearly has potential. And NaturalPoint did put together a relatively easy-to-use manual (save for my bad encounter with the tripod setup and the unfortunate fact that the pages were not numbered). But after using TrackIR for about 14 hours, over three days, I knew it wasn't for me. I look forward to trying the next version. But for now, I'll stick with voice-recognition software.

Children in the UK are eating too much salt, according to a study published in the Journal Hypertension. It is recommended that children eat less than a teaspoon of salt a day, but the study reported that 70% of the children, who took part in the project, consumed more than this.
Controlling the level of salt intake in childhood is important as previous studies have suggested that children who eat excessive amounts of salt are 40% more likely to have high blood pressure, compared with children who eat lower amounts.
The results of this study indicate that children are still consuming too much salt in their diets, despite a UK wide drive to reduce the amount of salt levels in food, with manufacturers reducing salt level in many of their products. The authors say that efforts to further lower salt levels in food are needed because salt increases the risk of high blood pressure from a very young age, and high blood pressure can lead to heart disease and stroke.
The study looked at the salt intake of 340 children. The daily recommended maximum amount of salt children should eat depends on age. The authors reported that on average five and six-year-old children in the study consumed 3.75g of salt a day – more than the recommended 3g maximum, whilst eight and nine year olds consumed 4.72g of salt (within their daily limit of 5g salt) and thirteen to seventeen years old consumed 7.55g (which is higher than the recommended 6g limit), suggesting teenagers especially, were eating too much salt – and boys tended to eat more salt than girls.
Looking at the children's food diaries most of the salt came from processed foods, rather than salt being added to the food afterwards at the table. A breakdown of the food groups showed that breads and cereals accounted for more than one-third of the salt in children's diets, a fifth came from meat and one-tenth from dairy products. So it was not necessarily unhealthy 'junk food' that accounted for the salt but often regularly consumed products like bread. Perhaps, surprisingly, a typical breakfast of cereals and toast can be the saltiest meal of the day – even though many wholemeal breads and cereals are marketed as healthy options. This is mainly due to the levels of salt added to these foods in the manufacturing process.
Lead researcher Prof Graham MacGregor said the food industry 'must do more' to cut salt commenting, "It is very difficult for parents to reduce children's salt intake unless they avoid packaged and restaurant foods and prepare each meal from scratch using fresh, natural ingredients."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "On average, we are eating approximately 2g of salt more each day than the recommended amount and it is vital that we address this. This is why we are working with industry through the Responsibility Deal to reduce the amount of salt in foods. We have just finalised new salt targets for 76 categories of food and call on industry to sign up."
Consumers are advised to check the salt content of foods and aim for foods that have a low or medium salt content: Low is 0.3g salt or less per 100g (or 0.1g sodium), medium is 0.3g -1.5g per 100g and high is more than 1.5g per 100g (0.6g sodium)

A review of four hot issues after the Philadelphia Eagles' 52-20 loss to the Denver Broncos:
This game was never going to be a pleasant afternoon in the Rockies for these Eagles. After Philip Rivers dissected their patchwork secondary in Week 2, we immediately wondered how bad things would get when the Eagles faced the elite quarterbacks, with no one being more elite than Peyton Manning. Now we know.
"We ran into a buzzsaw," Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said after the game. Davis had left the locker room, possibly after turning in his belt and shoelaces. He spoke to reporters via the iPhone of a member of the media relations staff.
The Eagles became a part of the history that Manning is making, the same way Michael Spinks was part of the history Mike Tyson made or the rest of the field was part of the history Usain Bolt made in the Olympics. They have no choice but to accept that and find a way to move on.
The next three weeks are huge for Chip Kelly. After losing three games to the AFC West, by larger margins every week, Kelly's Eagles play the New York Giants (0-4), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4) and Dallas Cowboys (2-2).
The Eagles have an opportunity to win all three of those games, which would get them to 4-3, restore their respectability and give the second half of the season meaning. All three games are against NFC teams and two are within the division, where the Eagles are 1-0. Since 1990, teams that start 1-3 have just a 14 percent chance to go to the playoffs, according to ESPN Stats & Information. But somebody is going to win the NFC East. It says so right in the rulebook. Until they lose games and ground to Dallas, the Eagles have a chance to be that team.
The offensive line is becoming an issue. Kelly laid the blame for the offensive struggles squarely on the pressure quarterback Michael Vick is experiencing. "We've got times where he is at the top of his drop and he's sticking his foot into the ground and there's pressure on him," Kelly said. "That's not on Mike."
A quick history lesson: Two years ago, Andy Reid brought in longtime Indianapolis Colts assistant Howard Mudd to coach the offensive line. Mudd has a unique approach suited to slimmer, more athletic linemen. The result was a purge of players who just didn't fit. Could it be that some of the linemen here just don't fit Kelly's own unique approach? Could it simply be that the players returning from injuries -- Jason Peters, Todd Herremans, Jason Kelce -- aren't at full health? Is it just a natural transition period?
"Someone who's been playing fantastic for 52 plays, on the 53rd play makes a mistake up front," Kelly said. "Somebody you expected to be picked up is creating penetration."
Time will provide the answers, but there is enough of a body of work to start asking the questions.
There are no playmakers on this defense. Davis has been trying to scheme around the personnel he has while shifting the team from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base. The results were not very good through three weeks, and they were disastrous Sunday against the Broncos. No matter the scheme, though, a great player will find ways to make an impact: a sack on a crucial third down, a ball stripped from a running back or receiver, something. The Eagles just aren't getting those plays.
"We only have one way to go," Davis said. "We have to get better. Everything about the defense has to improve. We have enough talent."
Davis may or may not believe those words. The rest of us have to believe our eyes.

Complete Women's Basketball Weekly Release in pdf format
Photo courtesy of Harvard Athletic Communications
PRINCETON, N.J. -- In a strange twist of fate,
on a week when only four Ivy League women's basketball teams
took to the hardwood, the two teams at the top of the standings
both fell, while the team that entered the week in last place
picked up a victory.
Columbia (2-8) ended a five-game losing streak with a 49-45 home win over St. Francis (N.Y.). The Lions were led by senior Brittany Simmons, who had an impressive all-around game with a game-high 11 points along with seven rebounds, five assist and four steals. The Lions' defense held strong against the Terriers, limiting them to 30.0 from the field (15-of-50), including 18.8 percent from downtown (3-of-16).
The two teams at the top of the standings, Harvard (7-3) and Princeton (5-3), both suffered hard-fought road losses.
The Crimson traveled across town to face a Boston University team that has wins over then-No. 17 St. John's and Marist. Although Harvard held a lead throughout most of the second half, including a five-point advantage with 5:06 remaining, BU was able to come back to take the game into overtime. Basketball is a game of runs, and that adage held true in the overtime session, as Harvard opened with a 4-0 run before the Terriers closed out the contest with an 11-0 streak to escape with the win.
The loss ended a four-game winning streak for the Crimson, which saw sophomore Temi Fagbenle (14 points, 14 rebounds) and senior Miriam Rutzen (12 points, seven rebounds) combine for 26 points and 21 boards.
The Tigers, meanwhile, traveled south to Philadelphia to take on an 8-1 Villanova squad. Princeton cut a 16-point second half deficit to four, at 45-41 with 6:14 remaining, but was unable to complete the come back and fell, 61-54.
Senior Niveen Rasheed recorded game-highs in points (15) and assists (five) and team-highs in rebounds (seven), while junior Kristen Helmstetter (11 points, 6 rebounds) and sophomore Blake Dietrick (10 points, 5 rebounds) also played well. It marked the first time this season that Princeton lost when two or more players scored in double figures.
Dartmouth took its talents to South Beach, where it fell to Florida International, 64-57. The Panthers needed a career performance from junior Jerica Coley (39 points) to get past the Big Green, which had three players score in double figures.
Sophomore Abbey Schmitt led the way with 13 points, while sophomores Kamala Thompson and Milica Toskovic posted 11 points apiece. Fellow classmate Tia Dawson grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds in the loss.
Five teams will be in action in the upcoming week. Cornell will take on Texas A&M Corpus Christi on Tuesday and No. 18 Texas on Thursday and Princeton will face Illinois State on Wednesday and DePaul on Friday. Thursday also features Yale hosting Marist and Dartmouth traveling to Marquette. Penn will walk down 33rd street to take on Drexel on Friday.
For the first time since 2010-11, a rookie has earned Player and Rookie of the Week honors. Harvard sophomore Temi Fagbenle (London) recorded her second career double-double with 14 points and a personal-best 14 rebounds in the Crimson's 68-61 overtime loss to Boston University while playing a career-high 32 minutes. Fagbenle also proved to be clutch, hitting a free throw with 22 seconds remaining to tie the game and send it to overtime.
Fagbenle's 14 rebounds were the highest total for a member of the Crimson since Emma Markley grabbed 15 against Northeastern on Dec. 9, 2009, and the most for a Harvard rookie since Hana Peljto recorded 15 against New Hampshire on Nov. 28, 2000. Fagbenle is the first Crimson rookie to record multiple double-doubles since Victoria Lippert notched three in 2009-10.
Penn's Alyssa Baron (Jan. 24, Feb. 7) and Yale's Janna Graf (Jan. 17) were the last rookies to take home both weekly awards in the same week. Fagbenle, who earned Rookie of the Week on Nov. 12 and Dec. 10, is Harvard's first three-time recipient since Christine Clark in 2010-11 and her honor also marks the seventh for the Crimson this season, as Lippert was Player of the Week on Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 and Clark was Player of the Week on Nov. 26. Harvard is the first school to open the season with six-straight weekly awards since Dartmouth began the 2003-04 campaign with seven-straight weekly awards.

I had laser lipo back in September 2011 and continue to notice improvements as of July 2012. I never expected such great looking results, better than I had ever hoped for or imagined.
Dr. Khalifeh is very easy to talk to, so is his staff. I like them all very much. I had rolls of fat that would hang over my waistband and fat in my neck that made me look old. All of the rolls are gone. I have curves where I want them and have smooth skin - no bumps or dimples. My neck looks nice and tight - I have a chin and distinct jawline again. Before my neck looked like a simple quarter circle curve - now I have something akin to a right angle. Pretty amazing it only took laser lipo to achieve this result.
I am so happy that I can comfortably wear clothing and cute clothing at that! I went down at least two dress sizes but even more for pant sizes. I had gained 50+ pounds due to an untreated thyroid condition and after I lost that weight I still had stubborn rolls of fat that just were not going to budge. The rolls of fat would often get pinched by belts and it just hurt and even though I was at a good weight the rolls of fat made me appear frumpy.
So as i mentioned I can wear cute clothes once again. I can wear anything at Anthropologie or even at Nordstrom's Juniors department. Losing weight (50 pounds) from having my thyroid treated with T3 and T4, as well as following the diet from 'Eat to Live', was one thing, it made a big, big difference - but - losing the rolls of fat around my waist and re-contouring my neck via Laser Lipo (about 3 pounds of fat was removed) has really made a huge difference as far as being able to comfortably wear fun and stylish clothes, looking younger, feeling more positive about my looks and just looking great in them and I continue to get lots of compliments and questions about what have I done.

WFGR Retrovision – Whitmark
If you grew up in West Michigan, you of course remember Whitmark! In fact, I still own a stereo I bought at Whitmark back in the day.
The whole "Catalog" showroom idea was kind of cool, allowing more space on the showroom floor and then you'd take you're little ticket up and get your item. I remember these places sold a lot of Jewelry too.

I am sure there are multiple times in peoples lives where they say, "Wow I have seen everything". Well, today is one of those times for me. Just when I thought the Bacon Nation couldn't surprise me, someone invents the Caffeinated Maple-Bacon Lollipop. Yes, thats right a bacon lollipop that also has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee.
When I first read about this my initial thought was, "This is ridiculous, why would anyone want a caffeinated lollipop?" But then I thought about it for a few more seconds, "Wait a minute, I could eat this thing in the morning on my commute to work."
Yes, instead of trying to carry my maple bacon in one hand and a coffee in the other, while driving, I could just suck on a Caffeinated Maple-Bacon Lollipop. No more side-swiped pedestrians and dirty looks from other drivers for me. Thanks to the fine folks at Lollyphile, I can save time and lives.
Caffeinated Maple-Bacon Lollipops
- 4 Maple-Bacon Lollipops- $10
- Dozen Maple-Bacon Lollipops- $24
- Case of 36 Maple-Bacon Lollipops- $52
Whoa! After looking at the price it might be expensive for them to replace my morning cup of joe. They're $2.50 a piece, which is just as much as overpriced designer coffee, but I don't drink overpriced designer coffee on weekdays. I guess these will have to be my weekend pops and I will still have to juggle my bacon and coffee on my way to work.
I have yet to try these, so if you know how that taste let us know via a comment. I have had other bacon pops and liked them so I am sure these are good too.

Can anybody tell me when the HD's were made by AMF? The reason I ask is I found a '93 Sportster XL 1200(?) for sale today, a special anniversary mod I guess. (1903-1993) Black and silver with some special badging.
Anyway, I was wondering if this was made by AMF....
Also, does anybody have any opinions, thoughts, experience, comments, on the '93 Sportsters?
Its got 12K miles on it, looks to be pretty clean. Some paint chips here and there, some oxidized aluminum. The engine is clean, and appears to be oil free externally anyway.
I didn't listen to it run, I didn't approach the seller, there was no price on the sign.
I thought I'd check in here with some folks who may know something I don't, about these bikes overall, before I talk to the guy.
Thanks in advance.

Alec has already told you to play XCOM this weekend if you haven't, seeing as the full game's free to try on Steam. It's "one of the best games of the last few years" says he. Aye, maybe it is, and maybe you could. However. If you fancy real-time smashing rather than turn-based tacticisicing, have a bash at the superpowered open-world antics, shenanigans, and – dare I say – bants of Saints Row IV [official site], which is also holding a free trial weekend on Steam, as is Saints Row: The Third.
SR4 is the best action game on PC, according to John.

I was very lonely by myself so we got Cleo. We usually get along very well though it did take a while for me to give up trying to be Alpha male and realize that Cleo is much tougher than I am. That gal can really grab hold. It is nice having someone to play with though I enjoy chasing lights and playing with toys more than Cleo who loves to go search for things.

Stanford has released its depth chart for the season opener against UC Davis, giving a look at the state of some position battles immediately after training camp. Though David Shaw emphasizes that his staff doesn't put enormous stock in the term "starter" (especially at positions that will likely see multiple bodies rotate through), the two-deep is generally a decent indication of who to expect on the field during meaningful time on Saturday. Here's a link to it, and here's a picture of it:
Here it is all in one spot. Kyle made life easier for us.
RT @BonaguraESPN: Stanford 2-deep for UC Davis pic.twitter.com/XGBpT5LttA— David Lombardi (@DavidMLombardi) August 25, 2014
Key Observations
- We can start with the position battles that have now been resolved. There aren't any huge surprises here: Blake Martinez will start alongside A.J. Tarpley at Shayne Skov's former inside linebacker spot, Kyle Olugbode gets the nod at free safety, and Kelsey Young is the top dog at running back.
- As we delve into the second level of depth, things get more interesting. There's no nickel back position listed on this two-deep, so that may explain some unexpected shifts among the secondary positions. Zach Hoffpauir -- who's impressed the staff this summer -- is a favorite to replace Usua Amanam at the nickel, but since that position is absent here, Hoffpauir is listed behind Olugbode at free safety instead. Just about a week ago, Shaw said that Kodi Whitfield would split time with Olugbode at free safety, but Whitfield is slotted behind Jordan Richards at strong safety instead. The guess here: The staff wanted to get both Hoffpauir and Whitfield on the two-deep since both of those guys will see playing time, and they had to mix it up creatively to do so because of the nickel back's absence in the listing.
- Since Joe Hemschoot was in the thick of the inside linebacker competition, some may be surprised to see him listed behind James Vaughters at outside linebacker. No worries here, though: Hemschoot is the most versatile player on the Stanford defense. The Cardinal anticipate using him on the outside, inside, and at a "big nickel back" position tailored just for him.
- Alex Carter and Ronnie Harris are listed as co-starters at cornerback even though Shaw recently said that Carter's been 100 percent cleared to play. Expect Harris to play a lot -- he enjoyed an excellent camp -- but also expect Carter to get the clear starting nod once USC rolls around September 6.
- There's only one listing for tight end, though Stanford actually employs two separate tight end positions: the 'Y' (blocking-oriented) and the 'F' (receiving-oriented). Eric Cotton is at the top of the list, and he's an 'F' tight end along with Greg Taboada and Dalton Schultz, neither of whom cracked this depth chart. Austin Hooper is a starter, too. He plays the 'Y' tight end spot and is backed up by veteran Charlie Hopkins.
- Barry Sanders, Ricky Seale, and Remound Wright are listed in a three-way tie behind Kelsey Young at running back, while true freshman Christian McCaffrey is not on the two deep despite earning praise for his explosive running this camp. Shaw has said that McCaffrey has a strong chance of seeing action, so this development may lend credence to the theory that the Cardinal is looking to use McCaffrey as a specialty weapon (a la Kelsey Young of the past two years) instead of as a standard, in-between-the-tackles running back this season.
- The only true freshman to crack the two-deep is left tackle Casey Tucker. He has a strong chance to play as a supplementary lineman as the season progresses.
- Shaw wanted a sixth defensive lineman to crack Stanford's rotation up front during camp, but it appears that did not happen. The starting battle between Blake Lueders and Aziz Shittu remains unresolved, while Shittu is double-listed as David Parry's back-up at nose tackle. As expected, Luke Kaumatule is the team's fifth defensive lineman, so he should see solid playing time less than a year after converting from tight end.
- A number of players made their first two-deep. Among the veterans, inside linebacker Noor Davis, cornerback Ra'Chard Pippens, and right tackle Nick Davidson are slotted in. The youngsters: right guard David Bright, receiver Francis Owusu and outside linebacker Peter Kalambayi (who played a fantastic spring game).
- Torsten Rotto, a walk-on who has long provided solid depth for Stanford at outside linebacker, made his first two-deep as Reed Miller's back-up at long snapper.
- Disregard the weights on this two-deep. They appear to be outdated. Kyle Murphy, who's listed at 272 pounds, is actually up above 300 now. In fact, all of the Cardinal's offensive linemen are now significantly heavier than their listed weights, while Lueders has added 14 pounds of strength after his move to defensive end from outside linebacker. Here's the official Stanford roster, which features up-to-date weights.

This summer I worked with Professor Christopher Tully on a new detector for the forward region of the CMS at the LHC, in CERN. This potential new detector being considered would allow the decoding of spatial resolution of vertices after collisions between the two particle beams. I used the CMS simulation code to carry out the fast timing simulations and look at the spatial distribution of hits to try to sort out the timing shape. I started out with single charged particles and then moved on to a single jet gun, with the idea that for a fixed jet transverse momentum and pseudorapidity, it could provide the spread of charged particle timing seen at the detector for a fixed spatial location and fixed vertex time. Towards the end of my time at CERN new code was being developed to include photons as well as charged particles

This summer, I am working with Professor Peter Meyers on the Darkside-50 dark matter detector, which is housed in Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. The overall goal of the project is to use a liquid argon TPC to detect WIMPs, one of the candidates for dark matter. Currently, I am working with particle and optical Monte Carlo simulations in order to measure potential light yield in the detector and to interpolate photoelectron numbers for photomultiplier tubes based on the other tubes in the array. When this project is completed, I shall move on to further data analysis for the experiment.

I worked with Prof. Pretorius to learn about numerical methods for solving PDE's whose solutions contain shocks, or discontinuities. These often occur in fluid dynamics, and cannot always be solved accurately with classical finite difference methods since these rely on the assumption of continuity. Finite volume methods, which are based on calculating the flux transfer between computational cells, provide one way of approaching these problems, and in some cases produce results with a relatively high order of convergence. I developed a tutorial that discusses one such method (the Roe solver) and guides the reader through its implementation in a Java program to solve Burger's equation.

In summer 2008, I started by taking apart the remains of an old prototype telescope setup on the roof of Jadwin, but my main project was to design a support structure and jack system for the ABS (Atacama B-mode Search) telescope which was being designed and built in the cosmology group to study the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. There was a custom shipping container in the high bay of the physics building which had been modified so that one half of the roof could be removed. My job was to design and build a support structure so that the 1.5 ton telescope sitting on a 1 ton, two-axis motorized base could be transported to the observation site in Chile inside the shipping container and then raised up through the opening in the roof and secured for long term observation. I learned how to use the 3D design software package SolidWorks in order to design a structure from industrial steel framing. I learned to machine in the department machine shop course, and then machined all of the holes and custom fasteners required to assemble the structure. Then I began to assemble the structure inside the shipping container. The structure was seven feet tall and nine feet long and weighted about 1,000 lbs in total, so I assembled it with the help of a small manual forklift. By the end of my internship, the main frame of the structure had been assembled and fitted snugly into the shipping container. I was unable to complete the lifting portion in time. That was completed later by graduate students in the group and machine shop staff.
I am currently (2013) a graduate student at Stanford University in the group of Professor Benjamin Lev, and I am working to build up a new experiment to study novel states of quantum soft matter generated by coupling a Rb BEC to a multimode optical resonator. I have designed and assembled a UHV vacuum chamber to house the experiment and worked on parts of the laser system needed to implement laser cooling to quantum degeneracy.

In summer 2008 I worked on designing feedhorns for use in experiments to measure B-mode polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The CMB consists of the first observable photons emitted some 400,000 years after the Big Bang and is an invaluable tool for cosmologists as a window into our universe's early history. Although a B-mode (gradient free) signal in the CMB has never been observed, a positive detection would be a robust confirmation of leading cosmological theories where such signals are generically predicted.

I have a Florida Concealed Weapon License and will be flying to Ohio in August.
I know that Florida and Ohio have reciprocity for concealed carry.
I plan on taking my .45 ACP Colt Combat Commander on my trip.
I have gone to the TSA and Delta Airline websites and know what I can and can't do, and what I need and need not do.
Here is my question. When I check in at the counter and advise that my firearm is in a locked, crush proof container, how can I inform them that I do NOT want them to place a big orange or red tag that reads.. "Firearm, come steal it!!" on the luggage that will contain my locked crush proof container?
We just had four baggage handlers at Tampa Intl. Airport busted for theft from luggage, and I would like to avoid being another victim.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. :smt023

I like it! I actually thought about getting a copy – this is only maybe the third one I've considered buying. (I like most all of them, but I'm not ready to paper my wall just yet, or have to start theological discussions with my two ten year old grandchildren). But you've captured my feeling about The Church, in general.
I've cut my tithe back by 10% this year. When I compare my church – any church – to other charities, I find the overhead is a lot higher at church, and my money goes farther through UMCOR and Compassion Intl. But I do get something from my church, and would get more if I would get more imbedded (? sorry, the coffee hasn't kicked in yet) into the community, so I'm not saying the extra overhead is a waste. I'm just not sure we need a new sanctuary or parking lot. But then, I'm not good at being a Big Picture type.

text: by ChEnected Guest Aug 16, 2010 Comments (9) AIChE Topics: Young Professionals Share This Post: RC Ramaswamy goes by RC and has doctorate degree in chemical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. He's published and reviewed several peer-reviewed papers in many leading international journals and presented at multiple conferences. RC's specialities and areas of interest are Research and Development, Reaction engineering, Lab and Pilot Plant Experimentation, Modeling and Simulation, Multi-phase reactors, Data Analysis, Plant troubleshooting, Process improvement and Development, Six Sigma, Strategic analysis, Techno-Economic analysis, and acting as a liaison between industries and academia. RC's volunteer activities started in high school. Some of his notable positions/activities include 1) President of Placement (career) Committee (undergraduate), 2) President of the Graduate Indian Student Association at Wash University in St. Louis 3) Treasurer of Regional Indo-American Cultural Center, Kingsport 4) Volunteer at National Math Bee Contest, Engineers Week and 5) East TN AIChE local section volunteer (Program committee volunteer for year 2008-2009 and 2009-2010), Sessions Chair/co-Chair for 2010 national AIChE Meeting, Salt Lake City and Co-chair of recently concluded 2010 AIChE Leadership Development Conference. Below is my recent interview with RC: Lowell: Where are you from? RC: I was born in Tenkasi, the foothills of Western Ghats in India (you can say southern tip of India) and currently living, along the appalachian trail, in Kingsport, TN working for Eastman Chemical Company. Lowell: Where did you complete / are you completing your chemical engineering education? RC: I did my bachelor's and master's in India from Anna University, Chennai and Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur respectively. I came to the U.S. in the Fall of 2001 for my PhD. I received my doctoral degree in chemical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. The core area of my research is in Reaction Engineering, especially Coupling Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions. My doctoral advisors are Prof. Ramachandran and Prof. Dudukovic--reaction engineering experts! Lowell: How long have you been a member of AIChE? RC: Almost five years.Before coming to the U.S., I was a member of IIChE (Indian institute of chemical engineers!)--a sister organization to AIChE. Lowell: What company/institution do you work for? RC: Currently I am employed by Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport, TN for the last 41/2 years as their development engineer. Before coming to the U.S., I was working for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, Mumbai as their research engineer for two years. Lowell: Describe a recent challenge you managed, notable achievement, or obstacle you overcame at your job or in your work as an AIChE member? RC: I am strong believer of communication and team work. Communication is both an art and science and evolves with time. It's important to choose the appropriate engagement and communication skills to succeed in workplace and in volunteer activities. I would like to talk a little about the recently concluded and widely acclaimed 2010 LDC. The success of this event comes from the highly motivated volunteer team we had to work with. I really saw a new definition to volunteerism during the event. I viewed the entire event as assembling a LEGO puzzle. Various sub-teams, their leaders, and volunteers will work hard and deliver results as a result of the conference.. My role at the leadership event was that of a coordinator who sees a complete picture (and at the same time pays attention to details) and knows when and how to assemble the puzzle. In the professional world we refer to this as project management. We delivered it. The challenge was to remain on budget and due to our careful planning and execution, the event produced a small profit for the first time in LDC's history. How did I know I did a good job? On the last day of the conference, I was giving a presentation on how to organize an LDC to the participants. Prior to this, I had received compliments from AIChE directors and officers, which I was very grateful for. But for the first time, I also got a thank you card from my fellow colleagues. That card moved me deeply and I recognized how these young colleagues showed their appreciation of volunteer efforts. I didn't expect it but it allows me to believe that these volunteers were mentored well. I saw them as leaders. What could bring greater satisfaction than to see and be a part of the growth of your colleagues? Yes, a good team allows one to achieve great things beyond one's imagination. Lowell: What do you do to meet people in your field? RC: Mostly I meet the people in my field through conferences, seminars and especially conference banquets/reception. Within Kingsport, I come across many new engineers by attending local AIChE meetings/events, professional club events, participating in outreach programs such as Engineers Week. On more technical side, sending a note to the corresponding authors of peer-reviewed journal papers will help build the network and benefit you in professional and personal life. These days I am getting to know more people through ChEnected and other chemical engineering forums in Orkut. Great believer of Networking. Lowell: Tell us a little bit about yourself... What is one of your hobbies? How do you spend your spare time? What's your favorite place to travel? Or anything else you'd like to share... RC: My hobbies are writing poems, reading, listening to music and hiking. I am great admirer of Thirukural, the 1330 couplets written in Tamil language some 2000 years ago and some of the verses are very relevant to these days (an English version of this poem/book is available). I am also a great fan of poet Robert Frost and I like this verses of him, "And Miles to go before I sleep and Miles to go before I sleep". Of course I enjoy traveling and I don't have one favorite place to mention. I like the Grand Canyon, The Smokies, Paris, Manali (In India), etc. I have been to The Smokies more often than any other place. Spending a week in The Smokies every year is definitely good for one's health (Don't ask for a proof, at least not for this!). Lowell: Where can readers ChEnect with you (other than ChEnected)? RC: I'd like to ChEnect on Facebook and the Chenected website. There are some volunteer moderated forums in Orkut (www.orkut.com). I would like to see AIChE/Chenected in Orkut ! My favorite request: There should be an app for Chenected/AIChE. Join us in CONGRATULATING RC by commenting below.

The Facilitators
Daniel Walsh & John Thompson
Mr. Walsh and Mr. Thompson bring many years of experience in helping some of the largest organizations in the world implement Project Management Solutions. Mr. Walsh is the Former Chairman of the Board at Theory of Constraints International Certification Organization (TOCICO) and has many years of experience managing very large Corporate enterprise. Mr. Thompson has served as Chairman of the Board at Theory of Constraints International Certification Organization (TOCICO) and has 20 years of Implementation and Training experience in all Theory of Constraint applications, including Strategy & Tactic; Thinking Processes; Marketing & Sales; Critical Chain Project management; Distribution; Production; Throughput Accounting. EXEPRON CEO Mr. Daniel Walsh has joined iGBS (ISCEA Global Business Solutions) group and EXEPRON COO Mr. John Thompson is appointed to the role of Director of Certified Critical Chain Project Manager Program at ISCEA.
"Project management is a critical tool for all supply chain management professionals to deal with the rapidly changing requirements in the supply chain. ISCEA believes that understanding supply chains is not enough to make a supply chain professional world class because they also require project management skills to rapidly implement change in their dynamic environments. Therefore, ISCEA has decided to partner with EXEPRON, the industry leader in Critical Chain Project Management Software to develop the ISCEA C3PM (Certified Critical Chain Project Manager) workshop and certification program. We think this C3PM program closely aligns with our current Certified Demand Driven Planner (CDDP) program because both are built on a solid foundation of the Theory of Constraints. We are delighted about our partnership and think this program will be a great success for ISCEA, EXEPRON, and all of the participants in the program,"
Dr. Charles A Watts, Executive Director of ISCEA
First introduced by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt in 1997, Critical Chain Project Management (C3PM) is a relatively new, innovative method for planning, scheduling, and managing performance in a project environment based on Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC). C3PM was the first significant change about project management thinking since PERT and CPM were created in the 1950's. C3PM differs from traditional project management methods which rely on completing tasks in a specific order with inflexible scheduling. Using the Critical Chain methodology, resources are applied to the tasks requiring immediate attention with greater flexibility, resulting in keeping projects on schedule, withinbudget and delivered on time. C3PM is applied in single-project and multi-project environments (PPM – Project Portfolio Management) where resources are shared across multiple projects.

- 4 dried guajillo or ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 2 small plum tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Four 6- to 7-ounce skinless cod fillets
In a medium cast-iron skillet, toast the chiles over moderately high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Fill a small bowl with very hot water and submerge the toasted chiles in it until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain the chiles; discard the soaking liquid.
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, cook the tomatoes and onion cut side down over high heat until they begin to blacken, about 3 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes and onion to a blender and add the softened guajillos, garlic and stock; puree until smooth.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Add the flour and whisk over moderate heat until smooth. Slowly whisk in the chile sauce and season with salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
Season the cod with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the cod and cook over moderately high heat until white throughout, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cod to plates, spoon the guajillo chile sauce on top and serve immediately.
