He toiled for a while as a band technician and founded the band Cains:Feel, but his public career really began in 1995 when he joined Malice Mizer as a vocalist. The band went on to become one of the staples of the visual kei genre, a branch of goth rock famed for its predilection toward theatrics and elaborate costumes, but Gackt, who was the main lyricist and took a small part in writing the band's music, stuck around only until 1999, suddenly prompting a rather scandalous split and moving on to become a solo artist. Debuting with the EP Mizerable (1999), Gackt soon shot to stardom, engaging in very diverse activities, as Japanese celebrities are wont to do. He kept up a steady flow of releases, recording seven studio albums and 27 singles during eight years and playing throughout the Far East on numerous occasions, including a stint in Beijing performing for an audience of 50,000 in 2002. He has also released the "Jyuunigatsu No Love Song" each year in a different language, the first version recorded in 2001. In 2007 Gackt joined the newly formed supergroup S.K.I.N., founded by Yoshiki Hayashi of X-Japan fame and featuring prominent pop/rock musicians Miyavi and Sugizo as well. The band had its debut gig at the Anime Expo convention in California, but remained only a part-time concern for all its members, despite plans to record an album.
Gackt's involvement with the TV and movie world has been just as successful, his songs having been selected for various TV dramas and anime series, and the success of his collaboration with the Gundam franchise even prompted him to release the "Gundam album" 0079-0088 (2007), based on the anime series' theme songs (the name of the album combines the serial numbers of some of the metaseries' giant robots). His non-musical achievements include appearing in many commercials; voice-acting and motion-capturing for Bujingai and Final Fantasy VII video games; and a role in the period TV drama Furin Kazan. He also wrote the script for the vampire movie Moon Child (2003), as well as starring in it himself together with Hyde (of L'Arc-en-Ciel), his friend and another J-rock guru. Gackt is also set to star in a 2009 Hollywood movie, Bunraku, with Josh Harnett and Demi Moore on board. ~ Alexey Eremenko

2007 Power Suits
Every man needs at least one suit that exudes power, prestige and classic refinement. The power suit is a vital component of any man's wardrobe regardless of his profession because it serves as his modern-day suit of armor. There are, however, several key elements to consider before transforming into a 21st-century gladiator.
The purpose of the power suit is to project unrelenting, untouchable power in the face of adversity without saying a word. The moment you require a power suit is not the same moment to show off your penchant for window-check, navy blue suits. Nor is it the moment to break out your collection of mock-neck shirts that all your golfing buddies swear you can wear under a suit to imitate the Hollywood-chic look. You will wear a tie because that is what men of power wear; and you will wear only the finest leather shoes you can afford.
A power suit demands to be in dark shades of blue, charcoal or a very dark brown with an exquisite silk tie in deep, rich tones. Black is always an option, but more appropriate for tuxedos and funerals. Herewith are three suit options to face the world with in 2007.

Suit: Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald
For the younger man the new Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald suit, which is fashioned after the suits worn by President Kennedy, is a good bet to gain the proper respect and attention of your colleagues and superiors. The lines are subtle and the cut projects youthful vigor. Black always looks good for this fitted look, but consider a more flexible charcoal gray that may be worn all year round and in a variety of professional environments.
Shoes: Cole Haan oxfords
Pair the Fitzgerald suit with black Cole Haan cap-toe oxford lace-ups and you have a timeless look perfect for year-round wear. The simplicity of these shoes cannot be denied. The subtle top stitching and medium vamp create a versatile dress shoe. Most importantly, the toe box is narrower than a traditional wingtip, but the curve is gentle and modern, befitting the updated styling of the Fitzgerald suit.
Two more suits to help you look a little more powerful…

eventual window replacement
I'm re-siding my house with 7-1/4 f/c lap siding over t1-11. I also need to replace two windows but cannot afford both and chose the siding over the windows because it's in bad shape on the weather side of the building and getting worse.
If I trim all the windows now with 1x4 pvc and eventually replace them later with size in kind I shouldn't have to remove any f/c siding right? Just the 1x4 trim?
What I'm trying to figure out is making sure I'll have the new window flashed right and I'm not sure I can do that without removing some of the f/c lap panels. If I do need to remove a few to do the window should I re-atttach them with scews or just bigger nails?
The flexible membrane flashing im using on my new windows is 4" wide, so you should be ok if you use 4" wide trim. Id have to guess that the nailing fins on the windows im installing is roughly 1 1/2" -2" wide, so you could even trim some of that 4" flashing down if you had to. Be warned though, I ran into rot when doing my windows, see http://www.diychatroom.com/f49/window-project-turned-into-bit-more-23577/ and if you run into any rot then you would have to replace the window given that you would have to replace any surrounding rot. Just a heads up that took me by surprise. Kinda ironinc, I wanted to do only my windows and was forced into doing siding also, might be the opposite for you if rot is present. :wink:
Just putting felt or other membranes around the opening won't help much. You need to flast the window too.
removing f/c
Mostly I'm wondering about removing the fiber cement lap panels to replace the window and then re-installing them after I'm done. I don't know whether it's necessary to use screws or just nail the panels back on with longer nails. I havn't really read anything about guys having to remove and then re-install f/c lap siding.

I've had this running around my head for while and I'd like to put it out there for your thoughts.
It occurs to me that there might be a way of providing reasonably strong user authentication in a website that doesn't have access to SSL (or post-Snowden, doesn't trust it anyway). It's conceivable this could be extended to session encryption, but that's beyond the scope of what I have in mind to begin with. I'm primarily interested in being able to authenticate just myself (the webmaster) to my own site via plain HTTP.
First, assume that:
(Any of these would invalidate SSL anyway.)
Let's also add that I can store a shared secret on the server through another (secure) means.
My principle is this: In the browser, I enter my password (the shared secret) then it gets concatenated with a timestamp (rounded to the last whole minute, to allow for transport time), and that combined string is then hashed (I believe there are reasonable JS implementations of some hashing algorithms these days, though that's not researched so perhaps I'm wrong). The resulting hash is then sent to the server.
The server then performs the same function using the shared secret. (it also tries it based on the last whole minute in case transport time has carried it past that interval, but no more). If they match, my browser session is authenticated and I continue my session with an auth cookie from the server. The session can still be eavesdropped, but the shared secret was not compromised so the eavesdropper cannot gain access.
As the required JS is sent to my browser in the clear that can also be eavesdropped, but knowing the function does not break the secrecy unless XSS is achieved somehow to snoop me entering the secret.
So, does this sound reasonable? What are the weak points? Is there a better solution out there for the same parameters? (I did look but found nothing.) Any and all commentary welcome.
I would never assume 1,2 and 3 in general. Also check out HMAC and OAuth as they try and solve this sort of issue, it is much more nuanced than one would think.

Supermarket chef showdown
Before she was even tall enough to see over the counter, Rachael Perron was happily working away in the kitchen. Her parents were professional bakers so she's been around food as long as she can remember.
Now, as Culinary Director for Kowalski's Markets in Minnesota, Perron put her skills to the test today when she competed in the Supermarket Chef Showdown at the Food Marketing Institute's FMI2012 show in Dallas, Tex.
She joined 19 other chefs from some of our biggest grocery store partners across the U.S.
We caught up with Perron to learn more about her, and what she made in Dallas, in this video.
The FMI's first-ever recipe contest and culinary competition started with more than 350 recipes from 50 retail and wholesale companies.
Perron competed in the showdown's Healthy Alternatives category with her Spiced Orange Yogurt Parfait.
She researches, writes and tests recipes for Kowalski's Markets and serves as the editor-in-chief for their in-store magazine and monthly e-newsletter. She also directs the culinary education program and hosts classes at their teaching kitchen. She says her culinary point of view is to make much-loved, time-tested regional dishes new, unique and current in every way possible.
"I love to tweak traditional favorites to create the tastiest, lightest, riches, most effortless or most stunning recipes possible," Perron says.
Category winners in the showdown win $1,000. The overall winner will attend "CIA Boot Camp" at the Culinary Institute of America in New York.
"Honestly, it's an honor just to be recognized," Perron says. "It's nice to see chefs acknowledged for their contributions beyond those in restaurants because there's a lot of exciting culinary work in the grocery business. I'm excited about the competition and I'm especially looking forward to seeing what other chefs are making and learning from them as well."
Good luck to Rachael, and all the chefs from supermarkets that we're proud to partner with!
Editor's note: Perron's recipe won in her category so she was one of four chefs who competed for the grand prize. The top honor went to Keoni Chang of Foodland Super Markets in Honolulu. He prepared Deconstructed Ahi California Roll, in the Indulgent recipe category.

Vodafone's plan pricing is competitive, but as our review reveals, network speeds and availability lag badly
Vodafone, like everyone other than Telstra, uses Huawei modems for its broadband provision, and at the time of testing, was in emergency damage control from constant network complaints, announcing that they'd be using Huawei base stations for a completely revamped network to be progressively rolled out from now on.
We tested with a Huawei K3765 USB modem, E585 Pocket Wi-Fi modem and micro SIM for iPad. The one real difference point that Vodafone has over its competitors is that instead of just throwing up a splash screen over the same basic Huawei interface, Vodafone's installer gives you an entirely new and much more detailed interface covering usage, connection points and SMS messages coming through your SIM. It's also aggressive in seeking out connected modems, although in our case this meant it picked the competing Huawei modems during testing but then got confused at all the incorrect SIMs within them. Vodafone might be upgrading for better network performance in the future, but we could only test with what was present at the time of testing – and it wasn't particularly good. Vodafone's average speed was low across the board. Even in areas like the Sydney CBD, where our average speeds from every carrier tended to be quite good, Vodafone could only manage middling speeds compared to Telstra, Virgin and Optus, especially with the USB modem. Vodafone also suffered from a number of areas within our test zones where we could get no reception at all, especially regionally. If it wasn't for the Hotspot giving a weak connection signal, we would have had no NSW regional results from Vodafone at all. As with the other providers, the microSIM within a first generation iPad was a particular sore point for data speeds.
Vodafone carried our award for best overall value last year, and since that time the cost of most of its plans has dropped, which could conceivably make them appear to be good value. Of the fully national carriers it has the lowest per-gigabyte price of anyone and by a fairly significant margin to boot, but at the speeds currently on offer, we simply can't award them the value prize. They may be inexpensive, but if they can't deliver the service promised, or at best manage to do so at a comparative snail's pace, the value equation drops sharply.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Sep 30, 2013.
If you consider that LBJ would probably make any frontcourt #1 in the rankings, we basically have the best traditional frontcourt in the game according to this. Neat-o.
Someone's really excited about the upcoming season.
I don't know what WARP is but I'm stoked that the Pistons' frontcourt are good at it!
I think it's kinda like warp speed. Which is like Star Trek. Which is like this. I think that means our frontcourt is good! I'm excited!
I hear our new sponsor is Van's
I love Vans. I have like 6 pairs of those things
I like the look and feel of them. But they wear out too quickly. Right now I'm sporting these kicks and I've got to be honest, they've lasted longer than my Vans always did.
I have a couple of pairs of Vans tennis shoes and like them alot. Husband's foot doctor told him to never wear any other tennis shoe other than New Balance.....
I thought those ESPN guys hated the Smith signing - gheez. make up your minds. So on further analysis its going to be good .
I think this is just based on the number, not on opinion.
They've run out of all possible ways to put a negative spin on that signing, and the season still hasn't started. So.
Separate names with a comma.

She's going through a difficult time after splitting with husband Seal earlier this month, but before her personal struggles, Heidi Klum took time to put together a cover issue for the March 2012 installment of InStyle UK.
Just three days removed from the announcement that she and husband Seal have decided to part ways, Heidi Klum was back to work in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday (January 25).
On the heels of his divorce announcement, Seal chatted with Piers Morgan about the possibility of getting back together with Heidi Klum.
The "Kiss From A Rose" singer was quite candid with the CNN host, stating, "I can't speak for my wife, but I admit we have had problems."
Tending to his previously scheduled press appearance despite his recent divorce announcement, Seal was the special guest during Monday's (January 23) taping of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".
He announced his marital demise late Sunday evening, and a newly-single Seal was spotted heading into the NBC Studios in Glendale, CA earlier today (January 23).
The British musician was dressed to the nines and seemed to be in good spirits despite being in the midst of a separation from soon-to-be ex-wife Heidi Klum.
Ever since they announced their split, there have been rampant rumors about Heidi Klum and Seal's marriage.
They've shared one of the most passionate unions in Tinseltown, so it comes as sad and surprising news that Heidi Klum is getting divorced from husband Seal.
Contradicting claims that their marriage is assuredly over, Heidi Klum and Seal aren't finished just yet.
According to a People magazine source, the "Project Runway" beauty and her "Kiss From a Rose" singer hubby have definitely hit a rough patch - but aren't yet ready to pull the plug.

Jean-Demers house
Jean Demers, or Dumets, from Dieppe, contracted for the construction of this house in 1689. The masons LeRouge, Regnault, and Charpentier worked on it. The Demers family lived in it until 1764.
The structure of this house resisted the bombardments of the English fleet in 1759. The framework and roofing date to 1764. The house still contains the four original floors and the old milled beam ceilings.
From Jean Demers and Jeanne Vedié, his spouse, have come the numerous Demers of the region of Québec.
The Commission of Historical Monuments classified this house in 1966. Mr. Paul-Arthur Demers donated this plaque in 1989.

Public Health Insurance Boosts Outpatient Care, Cuts Hospital Admissions
Madison, Wisconsin - Expanded public health insurance coverage increases access to outpatient care and markedly reduces hospitalizations, new research by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers finds.
Dr. Thomas DeLeire, director of the La Follette School of Public Affairs, and colleagues from the UW Population Health Institute looked at Wisconsin's 4-year-old public insurance program - the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan - for childless adults with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
They compared claims data from 9,619 adults, all from Milwaukee County, from the year before they were automatically enrolled in January 2009, to their first year with health insurance coverage.
The enrollees were "very low-income childless adults with markedly high prevalence of chronic illness;" more than a third of them had two or more types of chronic disease, including high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, depression and alcohol and drug abuse.
The authors found that after 12 months in the program, participants showed a 29 percent increase in outpatient visits, a 46 percent increase in emergency department use, and a 59 percent decrease in hospitalizations, including a 46 percent decline for preventable hospitalizations.
"These results demonstrate that expanding public insurance coverage has the potential to increase access to outpatient care and reduce hospitalizations," DeLeire says. "In addition, we find that unless consumers have sufficient access to primary care, coverage expansions may also increase in emergency department visits, shrinking any corresponding cost savings."
As a result of the provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act, states are expanding or considering expanding Medicaid coverage to low-income adults without dependent children.
"Our results speak directly to the potential of these expansions to improve health and to reduce costs by increasing access to outpatient care and reducing hospitalizations," DeLeire says. "They also suggest that states need to prepare for the possibility of a large increase in the demand for outpatient services."
DeLeire's co-authors include:
- Laura Dague, assistant professor at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University
- Lindsey Leininger, assistant professor in the Division of Health Policy and Administration, School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago
- Kristen Voskuil and Donna Friedsam, both researchers at the UW Population Health Institute, where Friedsam is also health policy programs director
The research was funded by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and is being published in the June issue of the journal Health Affairs.

With a 55 lb bow, you can shoot at a range. Note, they can penetrate a 3D target if it is a bit beat up. They will bounce off an intact Morrell bag, but they will penetrate a beat up bag.
Do they bury under the grass?
If one is shooting in a marsh or swamp, they might bury in the grass....haha. As long as the ground is reasonably dry, and you're not shooting in cutzoo you should be fine.
Good hunting

Who eats brown bag lunches? A whole lot of you do—sitting at your computer surfing the web at lunch, using either yours, your school's or your employer's internet account. We know you do. Our web stats show us that our usage peaks in the morning (checking email) and is busiest in all time zones at lunch hours (cruising for fun?).
Or, maybe you don't brown bag it yourself, but you may make lunches for your kids, spouse or just on an occasional basis. We've collected a file of tips to make brown bag lunches more exciting, safer and more convenient. Some are geared for the youngsters in the family, and others are best for the more sophisticated cyber citizen.
With all the wonderful places to go online, and the challenging experiences of merely growing up, the same old lunches can be really depressing. You don't need to be the Escoffier of the lunchroom, but with a little bit of effort, you can brighten an otherwise ordinary day.
Be adventuresome.

Book Worms
• The Loyola women's basketball team recorded a 100-percent graduation success rate score, according to the NCAA graduation success rate numbers that were published in the fall.
• Women's basketball was one of eight Loyola programs to record a perfect score, as the Greyhounds achieved a 95-percent cumulative graduation rate for all sports for the 2003-2006 cohorts that make up this year's report.

A few days ago President Hassan Rouhani engaged in phone conversation with the president of the United States. As of this moment, the sky is still up there, no reports of hurricanes or riots or dead bodies. Rouhani has now asked a top aide, Akbar Torkan. to investigate the possibility of direct plane flights from Iran to the United States. After all, those who fly together may wind up flocking together. Iran has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who departed for other nations. If these people were guaranteed safety in Iran they might return as tourists and help Iran develop a thriving tourist industry.
It is small steps that begin the process of peace. Fly away together.

2 Dead in Attack at Community College in Wyoming
Two people were killed Friday morning in an attack at Casper College, a community college in Casper, Wyo., the Casper Star-Tribune reported. Police officials said two people were dead at the college's Wold Physical Science Center and another was dead at a different location in the city. The police arrived at the science center shortly after 9 a.m. local time, and the college was locked down. No suspects are at large, say the police. The victims have not been identified. The Star-Tribune article included a secondhand report that the attack involved a bow and arrow, but the local police chief "wouldn't identify what weapon or weapons were involved, although he said no firearms were used," the newspaper said. The police have lifted the lockdown, according to a message on the college's Twitter account, though the college said in a later message that no one would be permitted to enter the science building until the police investigation had concluded.
Update (11/30/2012, 5:15 p.m.): The police said that one of those killed at the college was a faculty member and the other was the suspect, who committed suicide, the Star-Tribune reported. The motive for the killings was unclear.Return to Top

Makeshift scaffolding with two ladders
1 Attachment(s)
I have a really high stairwell to do walls around (cca 18 ft). Scaffolding is impractical. I had rigged a temporary platform that I used to hang drywall and it worked well but I had to remove it because it was anchored into the structural framing and I needed to hang drywall where it was anchored. So I was thinking to put a 20' ladder at the landing of the stairs or the first stair leaning onto the wall that faces the stairs. Then I want to take another, shorter ladder (one piece 10') and rest one side on or near the top of the stairs and the other somehow suspend on the big ladder to act as a bridge between the stairs and the big ladder. From there, most areas will be able to be reached for drywall taping and mudding and later on painting.
My question is, since both ladders are the same width, are there contraptions (hangers) to mount on the big ladder to which I can suspend the small horizontal one? I googled "ladder accessories" but didn't find anything like. What is an accessory like that called? Because I can't just insert the small one into the big one securely. I was thinking some secure buckle/hook should exist for this type of rigging precisely.
See illustration.
Get a walkboard instead of the horizontal ladder and do as you show in the diagram. The walkboard may have a "hook" on each end you can hook over the ladder rung.
That still may not be recommended, but I would probably do it with a walkboard...NOT with a ladder though.
One of these works for me. Any box store or rental place will have one.
I've also used a section of LVL or glue lam in a pinch.
Absolutely. I would do it with something I built (small 'floor' section-ish thing). It wouldn't have to be a manufactured walkboard...but definitely not a ladder.
I also would never lean that ladder againt the wall like that. The rungs can go right through the sheetrock.
I use one like this instead.
I bought mine at Wal-Mart for about $100.00.
I often build a "plank" from 2X4 and plywood. Can be built to any size. 2 long 2x4 and several short cross pieces, usually about 12" wide. I always screw them together and disassemble when done.
HTH JIm
But that's a whole different argument...anyone got Mike Holmes' number so he can give his 2 cents? :jester:
No screwing?
Contrary to what's shown on MH's favorite show...screws don't have the shear strength that nails have.
EDIT TO ADD: You can screw the plywood onto the framing so you can remove/reuse it...but I would nail the frame.
Too vague a statement, but then I should have been more specific. If you are referring to what is commonly called "drywall screws" I would have to agree.
I am big on screwing! JIm
199 Attachment(s)
Buy a 2x12 (or two) and you'll be fine. Don't cut them, get them dirty (mud/paint) or poke holes in them and you can return them. I've done that same stairwell setup many times that way (I keep the 2x12's though).
And I'm big on screwing too :thumbsup:, but I use nails, mostly.
There really is no shear strength involved. The long 2X4 are continuous with the 2X4 spacers, being just that, spacers, screwed in. The plywood is screwed to the tops of the 2X4's.
I love my cordless drill and screw everything. JIm
Ok :)
When you're standing in the middle of it, and your feet don't happen to be over either of the long 2x4s, and the screws shear off and drop you, you'll see more clearly what I mean.
To each their own though :thumbsup:
One of us is missing something? In the unlikely event that all the screws sheared off, it would not drop. There is no shear involved?
I prefer and feel safer on this than a single 2X12 plank, that is a personal opinion.

Suited and booted, London chases global menswear crown
By Brenda Goh
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain, birthplace of the three-piece suit and leather brogues, is stepping up efforts to establish London as the global capital of menswear with its designers chasing dominance in the fastest growing fashion sector by sales.
Playing host to London Collections: Men, a three-day event that started on Monday, the British capital will see more than 130 brands such as Topman, Burberry and Alexander McQueen showcase their latest collections to fashion buyers and the media from more than 20 countries.
The city has dressed its train stations with posters featuring real Londoners showcasing fabled British looks such as brogues and tartan. And it kickstarting the menswear collections internationally, with shows to follow in Milan, Paris and New York.
"We have the heritage that none of the other cities have," model and fashion committee member David Gandy told Reuters.
"We have Savile Row and we have the history, we set so many trends here, from the Burberry coat to the three-piece suit, from herringbone to Harris tweed."
The menswear sector has emerged out of womenswear's shadow in recent years thanks to rapid sales growth that analysts say is being driven by the Internet and an increasingly sartorially aware generation, particularly in Asia.
Market research firm Mintel estimates the men's fashion market grew by 2 percent to 10.4 billion pounds ($17.1 billion)in 2012, and the market is forecast to grow 16 percent between 2011 and 2016.
Consultancy Bain & Co reported in 2012 that the international luxury menswear market was growing at an annual rate of 14 percent, almost double the rate of the womenswear segment. Continued...

I don't consider myself a sheep dog, more like a basset hound. Laid back and friendly, but you don't make me mad.
As far as what I'll be carrying. While at work my Kahr CW45, and after work my DW C-BOB.

The 4-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway was beaten one length by Horse of the Year candidate Zenyatta in the Hirsch while traveling the It's In The Air distance of 1 1/16 miles. The Neil Drysdale trainee will be making her Hollywood Park debut from the outside post Sunday in a field of seven fillies and mares which lines up as follows:
Brazlian-bred Double Trouble, eighth here while making her last start on turf in the Beverly Hills in June, will return from the layoff on Cushion Track, where she finished fifth behind Zenyatta in the Milady Handicap on Memorial Day.
The 5-year-old is one of two Bobby Frankel-trained entrants, joined by fellow Brazilian-bred Eissoai, who will be making her third U.S. start on Sunday. She was an impressive allowance winner at Santa Anita in September at 1 1/16 miles.
Bai and Bai, a 5-year-old winner of ten races and a race-high $667,618, has won a pair of stakes in four 2008 starts — the Foster City at Bay Meadow and the E.B. Johnston at Fairplex Park.
Gambler's Justice, winner of the CTBA Marian in her most recent start at Fairplex Park, finished first in the 1 1/16-mile Melair here in April, but was disqualified and placed third.
Spenditallbaby finished ahead of Bai and Bai while checking in fourth in the Cal Cup Matron, while Pio Pico winner Kalookan Year shifts to Cushion Track after finishing 12th on turf in the Cal Cup Distaff Handicap.
The It's In The Air will run as the third race on Sunday's nine-race program at Hollywood Park. First post time is at 12:30 p.m.

Today in Milligan History
an ongoing project of Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society
Good Day, Milligan!
Proverbs 27:14 – If people loudly bless their neighbors early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.
This is Thursday, February 27, 2014, and on this day in Milligan history . . .
1876 The Milligan College Archive holds a letter written by J. W. McGarvey and W. B. Emmal of the Broadway Christian Church in Lexington, KY, addressed to Josephus Hopwood of the Buffalo Male and Female Institute. The letter, dated December 26, 1875, regards the transfer of Hopwood's church membership from the Broadway Church to a local body in East Tennessee. A note on the back of the letter indicates that "the Church at Buffalo" accepted Hopwood February 27, 1876. The "Church at Buffalo" would be our present-day Hopwood Memorial Christian Church. Hopwood served as Milligan College president 1875-1903 and 1915-1917. Submitted by former Director of Library Services Steve Preston (Milligan 1981-2007).
1934 With a basketball victory over Carson-Newman, the Milligan College Buffaloes won their sixth consecutive Smokey Mountain Conference championship under the coaching of Dean Coach 'Doc' C. M. Eyler. The Stampede, March 2, 1934
1962 Eleven "supposed scholars" [That's what Fed Norris (1962) called them.] traveled from Milligan College to Tulsa, OK, for the Third Consultation on Unity of the Christian Churches. Among Milligan's representatives there were Bob Harmon (1965) and Ken Kincaid in one car; Mr. Newton, John Starr (1962), Dick True (1962) in another car; and Don Daum (1965), Bill Morrison, Norris, Len Smith (1965), Dave Stuecher (1963) and "Dabney the Devout" [Norris's language] in a 1954 Chevy. Among those who spoke at the conference were Milligan President Dean E. Walker (1899-1988; President 1950-1968; Chancellor 1968-1988) and Prof. Robert O. Fife (at Milligan 1954-1975). The Stampede, March 16, 1962, pp. 1,3.
1970 The Stampede headline announced "Schedule Change in '70-'71." Under the leadership of Dean C. Robert Wetzel (Milligan 1961-1980 and since 2009) Milligan College adopted the basic academic calendar it now uses. Classes for the Fall semester of 1970 were to begin August 27, and the semester would end December 18. On January 14, 1971, the new Spring semester would begin, and would end with commencement on May 17. Previously the Fall semester had started in September, had bridged the Christmas break, and students had come back to classes after what Wetzel called the "lame duck" period to face classes and final exams again at the end of January. Milligan's calendar change coincided with a nation-wide trend in the same direction. The Stampede, February 27, 1970, p. 1.

At least one author is warning consumers not to be fooled by relatively steady gas prices and prognostications of plentiful petroleum. Richard Heinberg, in his book Snake Oil: How Fracking's False Promise of Plenty Imperils Our Future is warning people that any prediction that the world has staved off the prospect of diminishing returns on continued oil drilling is inaccurate, and that the recent increase in supply may merely accelerate the overall decline.

The National Science Foundation late last month announced four research projects focused on developing a more robust and secure Internet.
The projects -- each of which will get up to $8 million over three years -- are part of the NSF's Future Internet Architecture program. The NSF said 60 researchers at over 30 institutions will evaluate the following schemes:
Related Reading
• NSF: Time for an Internet do-over
• Mobility First. The original Internet was based on fixed endpoints, but this new architecture would be "centered on mobility as the norm, rather than the exception," the NSF said. It would support context- and location-aware services and use "self-certifying public-key addresses" for security.
• Named Data Networking. Instead of routing traffic based on computers' IP addresses, this new architecture would focus on the actual content ("named data") being transported and then secure the data itself rather than the communications path.
"It is a radical shift, but one that we think enables a qualitatively better path to eliminating redundant network traffic, securing communications, and enabling very large numbers of wireless and mobile devices," said Patrick Crowley, a computer scientist at Washington University in St. Louis.
• Nebula. This architecture would turn the Internet into a global cloud computing system of data centers, all linked by a high-speed, extremely reliable and secure backbone network.
• Expressive Internet Architecture. This would include built-in security so that users can be assured that the Web sites they visit and the documents they download are legitimate. Also, users would obtain content from the closest source, not necessarily the original host of the content.
"A lot of wisdom is embedded in the current Internet, and we'll retain that," said Peter Steenkiste, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University. "But parts of it are clearly broken and can't be fixed with incremental steps."

My Bryant furnace is giving me fits. It stopped working yesterday, meaning the inducer motor was running, but the burners were not igniting. I turned off the thermostat, cleaned out some dust and looked for loose wires, turned the thermostat back on, and she lit up and ran. Then last night, the same issue returned, where the inducer motor ran but no ignition. I tried the thermostat trick several times, but nothing. Finally, after an hour or so, I gave up and shut off the thermostat.
I did notice the flashing red LED below, and consulted the manual to find the flashing leads to a code. One long flash, three short means a fault code "31". This equates to "Pressure Switch Not Closed", and directs me to check the PVC pipes leading to the combustion chamber, and check the air intake pipes outside the house. All clear from what I see. An hour later, I turned the thermostat back on, and the darn thing lit up and ran. Well, this morning, no heat. Now I'm befuddled. I try the thermostat trick, with no result. Same flashing, fault code 31. I take off the the cover to the burner assembly, clean out some minor debris, pull out the igniter, re-install it, reseat the connections, put it all back together, and she fires up. What the hell do I have here? Is there a connection that could be the cuplrit? Is it a circuit board or bad switch? What/where is the "Pressure Switch"? Anybody have any insight? Thanks!

ok, here's the deal. whenever the car is cold it idles fine, will cruise fine and WOT is a blast. Once it warms up the idle and WOT is still fine, the only thing that changes is the cruise/off idle rpm. As soon as it warms up it starts to sputter under light throttle or anything above idle. When it sputters it goes hella lean (like 16+).
Things i've checked:
vacuum is good
timing is right
dizzy is good, cap and rotor are good
maf is good
ecu has been swapped and same problem
coil is good, new plugs
injectors ohm out no more than 14.5 when hot (will be swapping to a set of injectors that ohm out to 14.1-14.2 when cold tomorrow)
stock o2 sensors are fine
has an safc but i took the safc out of the loop and still has the issue
the only thing i haven't checked/changed is the TPS. this only happens when the ecu comes off warm up and the afr levels out to 14.5-15.3. this started the other day when on my way to work in the morning.
Car is all stock usdm 2jzge with no y pipe cat and a straight exhaust

Landslide Risk Assessment using Digital Elevation Models
McLean, Amanda
MetadataShow full item record
Regional landslide risk, as it is most commonly defined, is a product of the following: hazard, vulnerability and exposed population. The first objective of this research project is to estimate the regional landslide hazard level by calculating its probability of slope failure based on maximum slope angles, as estimated using data provided by digital elevation models (DEM). Furthermore, it addresses the impact of DEM resolution on perceived slope angles, using local averaging theory, by comparing the results predicted from DEM datasets of differing resolutions. Although the likelihood that a landslide will occur can be predicted with a hazard assessment model, the extent of the damage inflicted upon a region is a function of vulnerability. This introduces the second objective of this research project: vulnerability assessment. The third and final objective concerns the impact of urbanization and population growth on landslide risk levels.

FEATURE-Yemeni debate over drones emerges after Saleh's fall
* Post-Saleh interim leader says approves each U.S. drone strike
* Public anger becomes more vocal over civilian deaths
* Hadi risks losing domestic support for transition
By Andrew Hammond
SANAA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Yemen's interim president has won U.S. praise for cooperating in a war on al Qaeda, but his recent public support for drone strikes that sometimes kill civilians could undermine his domestic popularity and stir sympathy for militants.
Yemen, an Arabian Peninsula country where al Qaeda militants exploited a security vacuum during last year's rising against Ali Abdullah Saleh, has witnessed an escalated campaign of U.S. missile strikes in recent months, often using the pilotless aircraft known as drones.
In a departure from Saleh's policies, Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi spoke openly in favour of the drone strikes during a trip to the United States last month. Praised by the U.S. ambassador in Sanaa as being more effective against al Qaeda than his predecessor, Hadi was quoted as saying that he personally approved every attack.
The comments came after a September strike that killed 12 civilians in Radaa, a small Yemeni town south of Sanaa, and the storming of the U.S. Embassy in the capital by protesters angry over an anti-Islam film made in California. Continued...

I met an amazing woman who not only had four children and held some of the meetings in her house but who also organised a Suma Food Group. My recollection is that the catalogue was several black and white xeroxed pages, mostly sacks of bulk food, and those of us who ordered spent a busy morning jiggling babies on our hips while we weighed out oats and sultanas into bags and boxes to load underneath the buggy and wheel home.

Galvanized Flashing with ACQ Treated Lumber?
Does anyone know if the treated lumber at Lowes (Top Choice) is ACQ?? I just bought a bunch of wood to begin building my deck and I picked up some galvanized flashing. I read on Decks.com that you shouldn't use galvanized flashing with ACQ treated wood.
Can anyone confirm this?
Is Top Choice lumber from Lowes ACQ or CCA?
Assuming it's ACQ, should I not use all of the galvanized hardware I already bought, such as carriage bolts, joist hangers, ect.?
"New pressure treated lumber uses alkaline copper quat (ACQ) as a preservative, which is less harmful to the environment and to you. The problem with this new pressure treated lumber, however, is that the ACQ product contains much higher levels of copper. Copper is not a safety issue by itself, however it is more corrosive when put in contact with steel and other metals. In time this corrosive action could lead to deck flashing failure if aluminum or galvanized flashing were used with this newly treated lumber.
Consequently, if you are building a pressure treated deck it is best to use a copper based deck flashing to prevent corrosion. It is also important to use copper nails when securing the copper deck flashing to the deck ledger board and home, again to prevent corrosion."
ACQ is known to eat fasteners and metals faster than CCA would. You must use HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED (not electro-galvanized) fasteners in it. The joist hanger manufacturers are making hangers with more zinc to resist corrosion of the hangers, but they won't say that you HAVE to use them.
As for flashing, copper is your best bet. It would be exxageration for someone to say that a galvanized piece of flashing won't work...Chances are it will last for years. The inspector might fuss, might not.
I have an ACQ fence, and four years later the staples that hold the mill tags on the end grain of the lumber are still going strong with minimal corrosion. I think there has been a lot of hype about this issue for sure.
I was planning to use galvanized flashing on my deck as well. Someone told me to just put a membrane over the top of the ledger before placing the metal flashing. You could also place the same membrane (Grace Deck Protector) on the face of the ledger and ends of the joists to isolate the joist hangers, if you want to go that far. In 10 years we will all know if it is really necessary.
Thanks for the replies. I ended up buying vinyl flashing for behind the ledger board and vinyl z-flashing for the top. I put the ledger board up this weekend and everything went well. I through-bolted it using 3/8" carriage bolts every 16", staggered top and bottom the whole way across.
Not sure about lowes but I know the treated lumber home depot carries is approved for use in direct contact with aluminum. It is not ACQ but rather micronized copper, which is not nearly as corrosive as ACQ, but it also is not approved for ground contact so you must still use standard acq lumber for posts.

A-Z | eSTORM
Hard work, a solid education and a competitive spirit all paid off for a group of Southwestern Illinois College business students who brought home a myriad of awards from the Future Business Leaders of America Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference
held recently in Nashville, Tenn.
PBL is an academic organization for future business leaders. The SWIC group, known as the Abe Small Chapter, competed in scholastic and leadership events and won awards individually and as a team.
"Each year the students work very hard to prepare for this competition," said Abe Small Chapter Faculty Adviser Tina Dierkes, Ph.D., professor of Office Administration and Technology at SWIC. "The fact that we continue to win awards shows that our students
are able to compete with students not only from other community colleges, but from large four-year universities."
The group won the Gold Seal Chapter of Merit Award, which recognizes outstanding local chapters that have actively participated in projects and programs identified with the goals of FBLA-PBL. They also received the First Place Professional Division Membership
Award for the North Central Region, which recognizes them for having the largest membership of alumni, educators and business professionals in the area. Additionally, they won third place in the nation for the most money raised for the March of Dimes,
raising over $2,700.
Heather Borowiak, a SWIC student, served as the Illinois PBL state president during the 2013-14 membership year and was recognized as state president at the conference. She was also recognized as a member of the North Central Region Action Advisory Council.
Individual awards include:
Wellen was beyond excited to learn she'd captured first place honors at the national competition, which Dierkes thinks is a first for a SWIC student.
For Borowiak, her award was confirmation that she's on the right career path. She hopes to teach business education.
Other SWIC members in attendance included Eric Lassman from Shiloh. He called the conference a great networking experience and an opportunity to put his knowledge up against students from other schools – many of which were four-year institutions – from
many states.
Approximately 1,700 students, advisers and guests from colleges and universities around the country attended the conference. Students competed in scholastic events, participated in workshops and elected their 2014-2015 national officers. SWIC students
competed against 30-50 other competitors in each event.
PBL allows members to demonstrate and validate their mastery of essential business concepts, skills and knowledge. In addition, members participating in this program will: demonstrate their career competencies, business knowledge and job-related skills;
expand their leadership skills; demonstrate their competitive spirit; and receive recognition for their achievements.

Italy's overcrowded prisons close to collapse
By Barry Moody
ROME (Reuters) - Gazing at the glories of Rome from its best viewpoint on the Janiculum Hill, the cluster of old buildings immediately below and to the left look like yet another of the Holy City's hundreds of churches.
The reality is less romantic.
The buildings are the historic Regina Coeli or Queen of Heaven jail - a long, long way from paradise for prisoners crammed inside in conditions which even senior Italian officials say have made Italy's prisons a national disgrace.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in January that overcrowding in Italy's prisons violated basic rights, ordering the government to pay 100,000 euros ($132,000) to seven inmates who brought a test case and to fix the problem within a year.
President Giorgio Napolitano said the ruling was "a mortifying confirmation of the persistent failure of our state to guarantee the basic rights of detainees awaiting judgment and serving sentences".
Justice Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri said last month Italy's prisons were unworthy of a civilized country.
Prison rights group Antigone says they are the most crowded in the European Union with occupancy at more than 142 percent of capacity. There are close to 67,000 prisoners in jails built for 45,000.
"Decisions can no longer be postponed to overcome a degrading reality for the inmates and for the prison guards," Napolitano said last week. Continued...

Texas Tech vs Kansas College Basketball Odds Picks & Predictions
Texas Tech vs Kansas College Basketball Odds Picks & Predictions: The top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks [-17½] get set to make their Big 12 Conference Tournament debut as they take on the sports betting odds underdog Texas Tech Red Raiders [+17½]. This Big 12 quarterfinal matchup is scheduled to tipoff at 12:30 PM ET (11:30 AM CT) live from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO. According to what College Basketball Odds makers are posting about this game's OVER/UNDER, the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Kansas Jayhawks are expected to combine and score a grand total of 148 points today.
For Kansas, the memory of last year's very early exit is still very much present in the minds' of its players. Coming into the Big 12 Conference Tournament as the haunted ones, the Jayhawks will try to avoid a monumental upset in the first game of the conference tourney. After capturing their fifth straight Big 12 regular season title, Bill Self's team was ousted by Baylor, 71-64.
"We are a lot better basketball team than we were last year," Self said. "Last year if one guy out of two did not play well, we probably did not have a great chance to win. This year it has been proven that we probably have enough depth and balance."
For the ninth seeded, Red Raiders, they're coming in an 82-67 win over Colorado in the tourney's opening round. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak for Texas Tech. the last time these rivals met, Kansas left no doubt as to who the better team was with an 89-63 rout.
"Yeah, it's going to be tough," Red Raiders coach Pat Knight said. "It's like comparing my win/loss record to my old man's. It's going to be tough. (But) you get a chance to play the No. 1 team in the country. A lot of funny things happen in these conference tournaments."
