FSQP2LXAF: Quark Pro QP2L-X Gen 2 Cool White LED with Burst Mode
Say hello to the Quark Pro QP2L-X with Burst mode. FOURSEVENS has upgraded the circuits on their popular Quark Pro CR123² to give you a massive increase in lumen output.
Thanks to the Burst mode, a new feature for the QP2L-X, this light will hit a blazing 780 lumens of output for the first 60 seconds on the Max setting before ramping down over the next 30 seconds to 50% of the initial output.
As always, the Quark collection was designed to give you a staggering array of options, accessories, and interchangeability so that you have the right light for the job in any situation. With a waterproof, aircraft-grade aluminum body and impact-resistant lenses, these lights are tough enough to meet any challenge.
The Quark series offers a staggering array of options, accessories and interchangeability. With a wide range of LED, battery and clip choices, you get the features you want without compromise. Available in a Pro multi-mode interface or a Tactical interface with programmable primary and secondary outputs, these lights can be used in a wide variety of settings and applications. Waterproof and constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum and impact-resistant lenses, Quark lights are tough enough to meet any challenge.
Operating your Quark Pro QP2L-X is simple. Make sure its batteries are inserted with the positive side (+) toward the head. Ensure the bezel (the 'head' of the light) and tailcap are tightened, then depress the tailcap button fully so that it 'clicks' and the light turns on.
The two most commonly used modes are Max and Moonlight, the highest and lowest modes. To access Max, you simply tighten the bezel. To access Moonlight, you just loosen the bezel a half-turn. That's it.
You can also cycle through the Quark's other modes just as easily. Lightly depress the button momentarily (you don't need to 'click' it off) and the output will switch to the next mode. The mode sequence is determined by whether the bezel is tightened or loosened:
Loosened Bezel: Moonlight -> Low -> Medium -> High -> SOS -> Beacon
Tightened Bezel: Max -> Strobe
Once the Quark has been turned off for at least three seconds, it will revert to the first level of output in the sequence, either Moonlight or Max.

The bulky treadmill is moved to the back wall so when it folds up, there's room to lay down a yoga mat (all other sports gear is banished to the garage). A space-saving, wall-mountable drop-leaf table—painted a lively lime green to complement the blue walls—takes the place of the folding table. A multicolored cart on wheels holds crafts, and stackable boxes on the shelves keep stuff off the floor.

By Mr. Cory Hancock (JFHQNCRMDW)September 6, 2013
Name: Chaplain (Lt. Col.) James "Dusty" Gray
Years of Federal Service: 34
Activities/Hobbies: Enjoying time with my wife and grand children.
Where do you work? JFHQ-NCR/MDW Command Chaplain's Office
What is your job title? Wounded Warrior Chaplain
Describe your job: As a mobilized chaplain I support the JFHQ-NCR/MDW Command Chaplain's Office by ministering to the Wounded Warriors as they arrive at their first landfall in the USA at Joint Base Andrews as well as providing religious support to the Army Air Group (AAOG) and to Fort AP Hill.
What do you like best about your job? I liken the opportunity to be as Warren Wiersbe would say, "Ministry occurs when you become God's channel in providing divine resources to meet Soldiers and their families' needs to the glory of God." The NCR is full of acronyms and I like implementing MBWA principles. For me this means "Ministering By Walking Around." As I walk I come into contact with so many who are serving our Nation. When we meet I have the opportunity to serve God and Country and one way I do that is to give them a shake of the hand and my handout called "The Chaplain's Compass." I hope to touch them for God and for a brief moment minister, strengthen, and encourage them as they serve.
What is your most memorable experience during your time here at MDW? When I prayed with a Vietnam Veteran's wife at the Vietnam Wall on the day her husband's name was being placed on the wall Memorial Day, 2009.
Would you recommend working here to other Soldiers or federal employees? Yes, Absolutely. MDW is an assignment like no other in that you and your family live within your own battle space to accomplish a diversity of missions from special events such as our Presidential Inauguration to being ready to respond to terrorist threats or disasters that may take place in the NCR. All of these have national consequences and impacts. Therefore, the MDW mission is of daily National and International significance. What a responsibility! What an opportunity! What a privilege!

Pilots filmed the movie which shows 11 bright objects moving quickly in the sky, using a special infra-red camera after they picked them up on radar.
One of the pilots can be heard saying: "We are not alone! This is so weird!"
The Mexican defence ministry confirmed the video was filmed by members of the air force, but didn't comment on what the bright objects might be.
Mexican UFO investigator Jaime Maussan said this was the first time a UFO video "had the backing of the armed forces".
One of the pilots said: "I believe they could feel we were pursuing them."

Quebec chef Normand Laprise was awarded a prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for his cookbook Toqué!: Creators of a New Quebec Gastronomy last Friday. Scoring the top prize in the Cooking from a Professional Point of View category, the 444-page book includes recipes from Laprise's acclaimed Toqué! restaurant in Montreal, such as a day-lily salad with deer heart and calamari.
Follow us on Twitter: @GlobeFoodWine
Laprise's preparations are probably a touch too elaborate for the home cook: His Backwards BLT takes an hour to make, and the H20 Panfried Foie Gras calls for whipping up rhubarb water, strawberry-red pepper water, strawberry-red pepper jelly, daikon confit and an acidic mix. The maple-syrup caramelized white asparagus, on the other hand, is fuss-free, perfect for spring and uses a handful of easy-to-find ingredients – note the word "optional" beside fir or spruce shoots. Here's how to do it.
12 medium white asparagus
1 tbsp butter
5 tbsp maple syrup
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Young fir or spruce shoots (optional)
Break the stems and peel the asparagus. Blanch in salted boiling water for about 2 minutes, depending on the size of the asparagus.
In a frying pan, over medium-high heat, simmer the butter and maple syrup for a few seconds. Add the asparagus and caramelize lightly. Remove from heat, season to taste and add the young shoots. Serve as an entrée or side dish.

ROFL. It only costs 30 bucks to replace... :rolleyes:
I so knew that...
Got it to work. I went through the gamma channel and went to the menu, then i clicked force NTSC, then launch game. worked perfectly, thanks!
Uhh, so what exactly do i do?
Its most likely that the DVDs aren't good enough for the wii to read. Go get Maxell or Verbatim DVD-R
Maybe the brand of DVD you are using isn't working for the game. Try going to the Gamma Channel, then start the game. When the screen turns black to load, constantly press 1 until a menu pops up....
First off, I'm new to the forums, so if i posted incorrectly, whooops :D.
Ok, so i tried to play Mario Strikers Charged on my Twilight Hacked Wii, but when it boots up, it is in black and white...
ownedddd, that sucks major. i hope the dog is ok :3
Mhmm, I prolly listen to everything, maybe except country. Clubland (Album) has a lot of great club music ;D
Zommgg, street fighter 4 looks wayy too cool. Too bad i don't have a Ps3 D:
Have you guys seen the trailer for the Goku movie!?!? It looks really whack, Goku doesn't even have Goku hair! D:
Mhmmm, all these sound really tempting, but torrents and money don't really mix for me D:
Nope, I think that takes the cake :]

Pork Chops with Mustard-Caper Sauce
- Servings: 4
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Four 9-ounce pork loin chops (1 1/4 inches thick)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 1/3 cup drained capers
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
How to make this recipe
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, add them to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a large plate and cover loosely with foil.
Add the stock, capers and chopped rosemary to the skillet and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Return the pork chops to the pan and simmer until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork chops to 4 plates. Whisk the mustard and butter into the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mustard-caper sauce over the chops and serve.

The all-party meeting called by the government on Monday to break the logjam in Parliament over the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail issue failed to reach a consensus.
While the government offered only a discussion, the Left Front, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (United) remained adamant on their demand for a debate under voting rules.
Union Home Minister Sushil Kaumar Shinde chaired the crucial meeting that took place at Parliament House here. It was attended by Union ministers like P Chidambaram, Kamal Nath, Anand Sharma and Sharad Pawar.
After the meeting, Kamal Nath told reporters: "It was a good meeting, Many members said the House must run."
He said he will appeal to the parties demanding a discussion under Rule 184 to reconsider their view.
"I will discuss the sentiments expressed in the meeting with the presiding officers of the two Houses," Nath said.
Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said: "We want a discussion under 184. We are not ready to compromise."
The Samajwadi Party (SP) and Mayawati´s Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) also said they want a discussion on the issue.
However, both the parties left it to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha to take a decision on the requirement of voting.
Speaking to media, Mayawati said: "The BSP wants Parliament to function. We want a debate on FDI. However, the rule under which discussion on FDI takes place should be decided by the Speaker in the Lok Sabha and the Chairperson in the Rajya Sabha."
SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav earlier in the day met the Prime Minister ahead of the all-party meeting.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Sudip Bandopadhyay said: "Our party is ready for a discussion on FDI. The Speaker should decide under which rule the discussion should happen."
"We want discussion on the issue of FDI but not under Section 184," he said.
The UPA´s key alliance partner the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is not keen on voting, reports said.
On Sunday, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad´s met with DMK chief M Karunanidhi to bring the UPA ally on board on FDI, but failed to make any headway.
"Karunanidhi has lots of reservations on FDI in retail. He has sought another round of meeting with UPA allies on the issue," Azad said after the meeting.
Meanwhile, both houses of the Parliament were adjourned for the day on Monday as the Opposition continued to create uproarious scenes over the issue of FDI in multi-brand retail.
The Parliament could not function since the beginning of the Winter Session last week because of sustained protests by the Opposition in both Houses over the same issue.

A Canadian-based oil company responsible for a 2010 oil spill in Michigan is going forward with an $8.8 billion plan to expand its U.S. network to at least a dozen states, and some Michigan people are not happy about it, the Los Angeles Times and the Detroit Free Press report.
Some claim the company is using strong-arm tactics to use their properties for the project, according to news reports. Enbridge, out of Alberta, Canada, plans to build two pipelines from Illinois to Texas and says it is simply responding to the U.S. demand for oil.
"We're responding to the market," Enbridge project spokesman Joe Martucci told the Times.
An Enbridge pipeline ruptured near Marshall, Mich., in July 2010, spilling more than a million gallons of tar sands oil into a tributary of the Kalamazoo River.
Debora Hense, who has property in Livingston County, Mich., told the Free Press she ran some workers off the land Wednesday by calling 911. When she returned home from a trip, she found about 50 trees were being cleared although negotiations about land use had stalled, Hense told the news organization.
Hense said Enbridge sent her lawyer a check for $810 after she refused their final offer of $18,000 for the property, the Free Press reports.
"I feel violated," she told the news organization.
Holly, Mich., resident Ernest Hamilton told the Times he has a date in court to determine whether Enbridge has eminent domain and can take his property for its project.
Hamilton turned down the company's offer of $7,000 to tear up his yard, remove all his trees and conduct work that would ruin his septic system, the Times reported.
"I just paid it off last year - paid on it for 30 years," Hamilton, 69, told the news organization.
A similar project proposed by Transcanada to build an 830,000-barrel-per-day pipeline extension from Canada to the Texas coast met with national opposition from landowners, politicians and environmentalists, and part of the project has been put on hold by the State Department.
The Enbridge project, which includes an even bigger daily collection of 850,000 barrels per day from Oklahoma to the Texas coast, has escaped the same criticism and delay that Transcanada has seen because its project does not cross the Canadian border, the Times reports. This means the State Department does not have to approve, according to the Times.
In Okemos, Mich., lawyer Gary Field is building a case against Enbridge, saying the company does not have the right to rely on eminent domain to take private landowners' property.
"They're not a public utility; they're not a public property," Field told the Times.
Enbridge avoided a request by Save the Dunes, an environmental group in Indiana, to hold a state-level meeting about Enbridge's plans for pipeline work in three Indiana counties, the group told the Times.
"Up to this point, we believe that the public has not been adequately informed of the project," Nathan Pavlovic, a land and advocacy specialist with Save the Dunes, told the news organization in an e-mail.
Enbridge told the Times that it held an open house for residents and offered to meet privately with Save the Dunes.
"We work with the landowners one on one, and we did offer to meet with them, but they turned us down for whatever reason," project spokesman Martucci told the Times.

Through a chance link in my in-box I have discovered a new (new to me) author who writes about readingand learning: Frank Smith, whose latest book Unspeakable Acts, Unnatural Practices 'helps teachers understand the nature of thinking, learning, and reading'.
Gary Stager writes about him: "Instead of talking about what teachers should teach and what students should learn, Smith argues that we should talk about experiences that they should be mutually engaged in, involving reading, writing, imagining, creating, calculating, constructing, producing and performing."
This chimes in with my beliefs, based on experience, that if we set up experiences where learning is more likely to happen rather than having students do what we want them to do because we want it (or it is in the syllabus), learning will happen. It is the setting up of the experiences that is so critical, that requires our creativity, energy and passion. It is important that we use all the ways we can to engage our students, and provide for them opportunities to construct their own learning, as well as modelling learning because the teacher also is one of the learners. This is very timely for me as we are writing up the curriculum for next year now so there is opportunity to refresh our thinking with writers such as Smith. I can't wait to read it.

Lawmaker links pay system to reducing workforce
The federal government hasn't had much success with pay-for-performance systems. The hoary General Schedule draws its share of criticism, too, but attempts to replace it have been unsuccessful.
Now there's a new effort to revive pay for performance, led by Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), the new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's federal workforce subcommittee. Although he hasn't introduced legislation yet, Ross has begun holding hearings on the topic. On March 9, he brought labor advocates and small-government proponents to the table as witnesses, with Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry on hand to provide the government's perspective.
Ross dubbed his hearing "Are Federal Workers Underpaid?," which might be taken as a straightforward question or an ironic dig.
Berry refuted the potential irony in his testimony. "I have said before that the system is six decades old and could use a re-examination," he said. "But even if the system is not perfect, we must reject misleading uses of data that perpetuates the myth that federal employees are as a whole overcompensated."
James Sherk, senior labor policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, staked out a position at the opposite end of the field. "The federal pay system unnecessarily inflates federal pay," he wrote in prepared testimony. "My research shows that, on average, federal employees earn hourly wages 22 percent higher than otherwise comparable private-sector workers." Sherk blamed that discrepancy on the GS system and the benefits that make up part of federal employees' total compensation.
Ross faces a political battle, but beyond that, he will have to figure out how to make pay for performance work in the government. While some individual organizations use pay-for-performance approaches, efforts to institute it on a wide scale have faltered. The most prominent recent federal experiment — the National Security Personnel System — failed in 2009 after limping along for a few years.
Just why is pay for performance such a difficult concept for the government? The cynical answer — and one that many proponents of pay cuts and staff reductions appear to believe — is that employees prefer to be rewarded for longevity rather than accomplishments because they're not interested in working hard. But other reasons are more plausible.
First, agency budgets are not particularly fluid. A manager has a certain pool of money available for raises no matter how many people deserve it. If the result of employee evaluations suggested that 70 percent of an organization's employees merited raises but the funds available could cover only 30 percent, managers would have to withhold increases from people who deserved them.
Another difficulty lies in measuring performance. Government jobs are not always amenable to metrics, leaving managers to essentially guess at how productive a given employee is.
In commenting on a Federal Computer Week article on the topic, one reader wrote, "The root of the issue is there is no true performance measurement system in place. The idea of a pass/fail system is meaningless if there are no measures by which to gauge the effectiveness of the process and those it is intended to measure. Managers are poorly trained in this regard and, in the end, the employees are as well. Until this central problem is fixed, pay for performance is not quantifiably feasible."
Still another challenge, another reader noted, is favoritism. If managers have discretion in who gets a raise and personally prefer some employees over others, favoritism — whether real or only suspected — can demoralize a team.
"Favoritism under NSPS was rampant, much worse than under the GS system, and would continue…under a new system," the reader wrote. "From what I saw in my organization under NSPS, actual performance had little, if anything, to do with the evaluations and subsequent pay increases. NSPS was a total failure because it did not provide what it promised for most of the people who worked under it."
Charges of favoritism don't have to be true to be toxic. The accusation can undermine a manager's authority and demoralize a team. On the other hand, real favoritism is even worse.
"Unfortunately, my years of government experience [have] taught me that pay for performance more often means pay for the boss' buddies," another reader wrote.
In that reader's experience at the U.S. Postal Service, managers could only select 10 percent of their employees to receive merit raises each year.
"The guy I worked for thus had three performance pay [raises] to hand out, and all three went to his drinking buddies," the reader wrote. "He certainly wasn't going to waste the three he was allocated on someone who didn't drink with him — even if that someone was the only one in the unit who stayed sober long enough to do a halfway decent job."

The print copy of this article doesn't read the same. I found it ironic that the very first sentence of the very first article about performance in this edition reads like this: "The federal government hasn't had must success with pay-for-performance systems." At least the online version (which I never view) was corrected.
I am a program director within the DON. To say that NSPS failed is not true statement. The basic system was designed to meet the performance demands of the organization and remain budget netrual. The automated on-line process was effective and very useful. As a result of meddling by the congress and influence of the federal employee's unions, which were not included in the system, pay outs were forced to expend 70% of the performance pay on salaries and only 30% on annual performance awards. This created an unsustainable salary growth rate. As a pratical matter, NSPS was the first rating system where 1% or our orgnaiztion recieved the top (level 5) and bottom (level 1)rating. Our average rating was 3.3 our of 5 for over 800+ employees. We were even able to seperate poor performers who recieved two level 1 annual rating. It is true that our supervisors have difficulty measuring employee performance. Many supervisors (25%) lack the personnal courage to discuss performance. Supervisory training for civilian and military managers is not a priority within the NAVY. To say that most federal employee prefer a longevity based system is inaccruate. Only the weak performers (about 20%) want to maintain this system. Pay for performance should be implemmented soonest.

That's too bad. I remember Lou Gorman always speaking well of Cashen. RIP.2. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: June 30, 2014 at 04:54 PM (#4740155)
Maybe it's just me but I associate him more with the 60's Orioles than the 80's Mets3. dr. scott Posted: June 30, 2014 at 06:15 PM (#4740265)
Don't know why my first reaction was "Didn't the Riddler die 10 years ago?". it must be because I was working in a haunted house during the 86 world series as the "Disembodied head of Nosferatu". Once an inning, in addition to the normal schtick I'd give for 35 seconds to each group that passed by, I'd update the score of game 6.4. Bruce Markusen Posted: June 30, 2014 at 06:16 PM (#4740266)
I think it comes down to this: Cashen wasn't the GM when the Orioles won World Series in 1966 and 1970. Harry Dalton was, but Cashen was one of his top advisors and almost certainly played a role in the trade for Frank Robinson and the hiring of Earl Weaver. When Dalton left after the '71 season, Cashen took over as GM, but by then the O's had some age on them.5. Mark Armour Posted: June 30, 2014 at 06:51 PM (#4740304)
Cashen did a brilliant job putting together the Mets in the early eighties. He made both the Carter and the Hernandez trades, and also acquired Bobby Ojeda and Sid Fernandez in under-the-radar deals.
I'll also remember Cashen for his famous line in the Mets' clubhouse after they beat the Red Sox in Game Seven. As fringe reliever Randy Niemann threw champagne on him (and others), Cashen screamed out, "Why is it always that the guys who do the least spray the most champagne?" Classic.
Actually, Bruce, Cashen was not Dalton's advisor, he was Dalton's boss. When Jerry Hoffberger gained control of the Orioles in 1965 he gave Cashen (who worked for him at his brewery) the job as team president. Lee MacPhail left to work in the Commissioner's office, and Cashen promoted Dalton (who had been the farm director) to GM. When Dalton left after the 1971 Series, Cashen named himself the GM.6. PreservedFish Posted: June 30, 2014 at 06:51 PM (#4740305)
The trade for Robinson, made at the 1965 winter meetings, was supposedly made by MacPhail, who then asked Dalton (who was transitioning into the job) to approve the deal. Cashen, the new team president, likely had to give the thumbs up as well.
This organizational structure, with a team president or CEO who sits between ownership and the GM on the org chart, basically began in the 1960s. What was unusual was Cashen, a non-baseball guy, becoming GM.
Cashen assembled a crazy amount of talent with the 80s Mets. Gooden and Strawberry, of course. Kevin Mitchell. Trades for HoJo and Cone. Guys like Ron Darling and Kevin McReynolds were among the highest rated prospects of their generation. I remember reading Dollar Sign on the Muscle and being amazed at how many of the great prospects mentioned ended up in a Mets uniform.7. Batman Posted: June 30, 2014 at 08:02 PM (#4740340)
I just read Gooden's latest autobiography last week. Then Darryl Strawberry was profiled on Real Sports and now Cashen dies. If Dykstra's not in jail right now, he'll probably be arrested soon. Of course, you can usually say that with reasonable certainty.8. PreservedFish Posted: June 30, 2014 at 08:08 PM (#4740343)
They are talking about Cashen on the Mets broadcast. Keith Hernandez just told the story of how he was traded to the Mets. He says that Whitey Herzog cold called Frank Cashen and proposed the deal in toto (Hernandez for Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey). There was nothing for Cashen to do but play it cool and accept the proposal.9. Bruce Markusen Posted: June 30, 2014 at 08:52 PM (#4740382)
Mark, a couple of questions: Who was primarily making the deals for the O's: Cashen, Dalton, or both? And did Cashen have to approve all trades made by the O's up till '71?10. AndrewJ Posted: June 30, 2014 at 09:10 PM (#4740388)

Similar story here: I was working the game room of the student union in college the night of Game 6 with the radio on, and wrote out a linescore* near the cash register for the benefit of the patrons. A lot of New Englanders and Long Islanders were playing ping-pong/video games there that evening. We closed at midnight and I was reconciling the receipts with the cash in one of the storage rooms when Henderson homered, and I stayed there just long enough for the entirety of the bottom of the 10th. Walking back to my dorm, Met fans were screaming hysterically out of their windows.
* No, I didn't save it.
Bruce, I am fairly certain that this was all Dalton. I am sure Cashen was involved in at least approving the bigger deals, but I have never heard of a time he did not approve.12. . . . . . . . . . . Posted: July 01, 2014 at 12:42 AM (#4740489)
The Dalton papers are in the Hall of Fame library, and I went through them last summer. There is a fascinating letter he (Dalton) wrote to Cashen in October 1971, as he was leaving. He gave Cashen a run down of the organization, and told of his recommendations for what the Orioles should do. For one, he recommended that the team trade Frank Robinson in order to clear space for some of their young outfielders, but, in deference to Frank, suggested that he be traded to team in California, preferably southern California. A couple of months later, Cashen in fact traded Robinson to the Dodgers.
When Dalton left for the Angels he said it was because he wanted a new challenge. He also got more power, as he reported directly to Autry. A few years later Autry hired Buzzie Bavasi as his president, and Dalton soon left again, for Milwaukee. Also in the Dalton papers is a handwritten note to himself preparing for his job interview with Bud Selig to take over the Brewers. The first thing he wrote at the top, and he underlined it, was that he required absolute authority over baseball operations. Reading that, I assume this played a role in his leaving Baltimore and California.
These kinds of problems persist to this day. Epstein famously chafed under Lucchino in Boston, and got much more power in Chicago.
When I was a little kid - I mean, 4 years old - the Mets won the World Series. I was hooked on baseball. After a year of catching fuzzy games on the TV through rabbit ears and coaxing my immigrant father to take me to Shea twice, my mother was complaining to her colleague how her son was obsessed with baseball and her husband didn't know the game.13. Bruce Markusen Posted: July 01, 2014 at 07:27 AM (#4740513)
Let my friend help you, he said. Fly down to Florida, spend a few days in port st. Lucie. He'll tell you where to stay and he'll get you free tickets.
And that's how I ended up, at age 6, staying at the same hotel as the Mets coaches and sitting in the first row behind the Mets on deck circle. Because my mom's colleague's best friend was Frank Cashen, and I guess when he heard the story he decided to show a kid a great time.
Frank Cashen turned me into a lifelong baseball fan.
Thanks, Mark. I will have to check out those papers. Did not know about them.14. tfbg9 Posted: July 01, 2014 at 01:46 PM (#4740823)
The mid-80's Met's were a blast to watch, and stole the City from the NYY's for a few years. RIP Frank.15. Renegade (((JE))) Posted: July 01, 2014 at 02:17 PM (#4740883)
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Mets owned the best record in Major League Baseball during Cashen's final eight seasons as they compiled a 743-550 mark from 1984-91.
Even if he/she weren't a math major, does a sportswriter really need the Elias Sports Bureau to point this out?
It's crazy to say, but to me, that year we won is actually worth a lifetime of fandom. What a joyride. Being 16 at the time probably didn't hurt. But it was awesome x a thousand.17. dr. scott Posted: July 01, 2014 at 02:39 PM (#4740944)

I was in Atlanta (At the Rhodes House on West Peachtree for those in the know), so not many folks with serious rooting interests, yet everyone "seemed" to be interested in this series. I was 15, and it was the first series i remember seriously, as after about mid April, the braves were usually out of it until 1991.
It's crazy to say, but to me, that year we won is actually worth a lifetime of fandom.
This, totally. Without 1986, we're just another edition of the eternally sad sack Jets with one flukey title and nothing ever since.
I was 8 and just a bit too young to watch or remember the 1986 WS games firsthand. But I do remember reading the Newsday accounts each following day, starting with NLCS game 6. I didn't really understand how titanic WS game 6 was until a few years later, though.
1988 was really my formative baseball year. By then I knew all the players and followed the team every day and watched most weekend games. If only not for Orel Frickin Hershiser in the NLCS...

Ary S.wrote a review of Never Summer Evo Snowboard on February 7, 2013
This board is sick
This board floats, I have so much more confidence riding this board than any others. The flex is perfect for park and on ramps there's no catching an edge on the snow. I have great control over what I'm doing and it's easy to maneuver.

HEDNA.org Brussels Conference, June 2014 Keynote by Gary Schwartz on the Internet of Things and how it impacts your hotels and the relationship you have with your guests.
While the phone will continue to connect people to people, it will increasingly connect machine to machine. The new phone will amplify, control and navigate the world around us. Many call this the Internet of Things (IOT).
The IOT is about how to talk to your washing machine as your friend. Maintain a relationship with your baby as if you were beside them in the crib. It is about finally having the basketball tell you how it thinks you have played and could improve your game. It is about having plants talk to you and shoes become your eyes. It is about clicking, signalling calling, texting, waving, approaching inanimate things and making them into digital, active, responsive stuff.
The digital app store is expanding to a new app store of objects for our home, work, and travel.

Finding Dolley: A Lesson on Why We Should Study First Ladies
Center for Presidential History and the George W. Bush Library and Museum
Tuesday, September 10, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Using the life of Dolley Madison and other First Ladies, Catherine Allgor makes the case for the women of the White House as sources of history. From the role of caretaker of the executive mansion to media darling (or otherwise), presidential spouses have much to tell about the political system, the person of the president, and even what it means to be a woman of their era. To really "hear" what First Ladies have to tell that we ask different questions of our past--questions which Catherine Allgor explores.
A light reception will precede the event. Several of Dr. Allgor's publications will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
Directions and Parking: The Meadows Museum is located on the southern edge of the Southern Methodist University campus, on Bishop Boulevard, one block north of Mockingbird Lane. Parking is FREE for visitors. Entrance to the parking garage underneath the museum is at the corner of Bishop and Schlegel. For directions, see: http://smu.edu/meadowsmuseum/visit.htm

COLUMBUS -- The Republican head of the Ohio Senate plans to form a working group to consider potential law changes following next week's general election.
Senate President Tom Niehaus, from New Richmond, told Statehouse reporters Tuesday that he hoped to include Democratic members of the chamber in the process, with potential legislation offered during the final weeks of the session.
Early voting days, provisional ballots and other topics could be covered by the panel, though Niehaus said it was too early to say for sure what would be included in any resulting legislation.
"I think we really have to wait to see how the process works next week and then be in a position to look at it and say, all right, these are things that we clearly need to address," he said. "... If there is a problem with provisional ballots, what was the problem? If there is a problem, what are the ideas to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Lawmakers return to Columbus the week after the election, with voting sessions set through mid-December. It's called a "lame duck" session because it marks the end of the term and the end of some lawmakers' time at the Statehouse.
Issues that could be addressed during lame duck include an increase in the tax rates on oil and gas produced via horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and an update of the state's ethics laws and the privatization of the turnpike.
Niehaus said discussions were planned this week with Gov. John Kasich's administration and oil and gas industry officials to discuss the severance tax proposal.
"We're just going to start the process of having some conversations to see what if anything can be enacted in lame duck or whether it's something that we would carry over into next year," he said. "There is some talk of a more comprehensive tax reform package for next year... There's no immediate revenue issue that would dictate that we enact that tax today versus say three months from now, so it's not a pressing timeliness issue from that standpoint."
Niehaus said he is waiting for the results of a study on the privatization of the Ohio Turnpike, due in coming weeks. He said it was more likely that the issue would be addressed next year.
"At a time like this, while the economy is picking up, we have a long way to go," he said. "But we continue to look at all of the options for maximizing the return to Ohio taxpayers for the investments that they've made over the years."

This common Hegelian position is that the world is necessary to God, and the whole arrangement of the universe likewise an a priori necessity, nothing else being possible: in fact that the term 'actual being' includes at once all that is and all that ever could be, while the terms 'possible,' 'necessary,' 'contingent,' express nothing whatever but certain limitations of our field of view. Neither Hegel, nor any sane man who believes in a God at all, could ever suppose that there were things, producible in themselves, which could not be produced because God did not know of them. One wonders what opponents St Thomas could have met guilty of this absurdity. Ex hypothesi God is a Being whose mental vision extends everywhere; so that what God has no idea of, must be blank nonsense, and impossible as nonsensical. To Hegelians, however, God is exhausted in the production, or evolution of the universe: He gives being, and that of necessity, to all things whatsoever to which He possibly can give being: nothing realisable, or actualisable, remains behind, nothing potential. St Thomas meets this by insisting that God is infinite, and therefore inexhaustible; ten thousand such worlds as this would not exhaust His capacity of production; and over them all He would still remain, immeasurably exalted, distinct, independent, supreme. There is however something, -- we cannot call it a limitation, but we may call it a condition of divine intelligence and creative power, -- a condition less regarded by St Thomas, but forcibly commending itself to us, upon six centuries longer experience of the prevalence of evil on earth. Fewer combinations, far fewer perhaps, than St Thomas thought possible, and our short-sighted impatience might crave for as remedial, may be really possible at all. The range of intrinsic impossibilities may extend considerably, beyond the abstract regions of logic and mathematics, into the land of concrete physical realities, one reality, if existent, necessarily involving, or necessarily barring, the existence of some other reality. Such necessity, such there be, is no limitation of divine power or divine intelligence. God still discerns endless possibilities, and can do whatever He discerns as possible; but much that men take for possibility is rendered on this hypothesis sheer absurdity, -- as impossible, let us say, as a 'spiritual elephant.' We wonder why God does not mend matters, as we would mend them, had we His power. Had we His power, we should also have His intelligence, and discern that there is no riding out of our troubles on the backs of spiritual elephants. There is some hint of the matter of this note in Chapp. XXIX, XXX following.
Of God and His Creatures: 2.26

The dual Australian and US-listed San Diego-based sleep therapy company has not paid dividends despite its very strong cash position – $540 million at the end of the March quarter.
ResMed said on Friday it plans to initiate a quarterly dividend of 17¢ per share, unfranked, in the first quarter of 2012-13.
Dr Farrell said the share buyback under way would continue, as would its investments in R&D and future development.

For 10 days each July, the same joyful, unlikely thing happens: Over a million people converge on Calgary Stampede, many in cowboy disguise, in a tradition that's now been going on for 100 years.
They dizzy themselves on midway rides and inhale exotic food like bacon funnel cake and deep-fried Kool Aid, along with an estimated two million mini-doughnuts. They cheer cowboys who fight for some of the biggest prizes in professional rodeo. And since an estimated 70 per cent of Stampede-goers are locals, and thus voters, politicians of all stripes can be found flipping pancakes, however ineptly, at breakfasts across the city.
Out-of-towners might be surprised to learn that one of the best and largest Stampede breakfasts is hosted by the Ismaili community in the parking lot of their Calgary temple – over 5,000 people eating pancakes with east African bharazi (curried pigeon peas), while touring the temple and admiring the fanciful Ismaili parade float. Last year, Mayor Naheed Nenshi officially launched the event from atop the float, just before a posse of black-hatted cowboys offered free line-dancing lessons.
No one bothers calling it multiculturalism any more. Just as they don't boast about the fact that newer Canadians attend the Stampede at a higher rate than the rest of the population, with 29 per cent of Stampede midway-goers identifying themselves as visible minorities – like their mayor, who also knows his way around a horse.
At 100 years, the Stampede is clearly a hybrid – a collision of rural and urban, local and global, past and present.
Calgary is often stigmatized as having been a very young city for a very long time: a city unable to grow up, fixating on its imaginary cowboy past while tearing down historic landmarks, blowing up inner-city hospitals and hedging its future on non-renewable resources.
But that's only partly true, because Calgary is also a city that's long been coming of age – a complex, urban, power centre with an annual carnival whose estimated attendance exceeds both New Orleans's Mardi Gras and Nevada's desert gathering Burning Man.
And what happens at the Stampede doesn't just stay in Calgary. With the Alberta-centric Harper government in place, Canada's balance of trade, Pacific Rim relations, environmental policy, immigration policy and more are all affected by the city that goes Wild West each July.
When Mr. Harper travelled to China on a trade and tourism mission last February, it wasn't Quebec City's Bonhomme that he brought with him, but Harry the Horse, the Stampede mascot, and a passel of cowboys that urged the world's most populous country to visit Calgary this year for the Stampede's historic centennial.
It's not a question of whether you approve of the Stampede or like cowboy culture. The people wearing cowboy hats are the same ones changing the country – and so it's worth wondering what the whole thing means to them. It might not be what people think elsewhere.
Arriving from Ottawa in 1998, Vanessa Porteous admits she carried "all kinds of prejudices" about the Stampede. "But I like being in a city with a genuine carnival, a traditional carnival. I loved it when I figured out that the Stampede was kind of like [Toronto's] Caribana and Pride Day, all rolled up into one."
On one level, everything a newcomer like Ms. Porteous had heard about the Stampede is true: Yes, there are extravagant, debaucherous parties you won't get invited to. Yes, there are oddball German tourists dressed in frontier buckskin in the Indian Village. And yes, the whole city gets a little sluttier – including the menfolk, who teeter about tipsy on Coors Light in tight jeans and boots like Gene Autry in amateur drag.
What's not quite so factual is the central myth that the Stampede tries to sell.
"The Stampede isn't really a celebration of the cowboy past of the city," says Ms. Porteous, who is the artistic director of Alberta Theatre Projects, the city's longest standing modern stage company. "It's a bacchanal. Nobody really cares about the past – [because] not many Calgarians have been here very long."
And that's the heart of the matter: Ever since Guy Weadick, an American showman, founded the Stampede in 1912, this invented tradition keeps re-inventing itself. Fueled by turn-of-the-century pulp fiction and live-action cowboy shows, the Stampede launched on a romantic notion about the closing of the Wild West and was embraced by an urban population unsure of their own future, most of whom had bet everything on their new city.
"With the huge influx of immigration, the myth of the West allowed people to interpret themselves in a new place," explains Brian Rusted, a University of Calgary professor and Stampede volunteer who has studied cowboy culture. "We used this identity to create some common ground."Report Typo/Error

Mr. Parineh, 64 at the time of his arrest in June 2010, pleaded not guilty in August 2010 to accusations of premeditated murder for financial gain in the shooting death of his wife, Parima Parineh, who was 56.
Mr. Parineh has been in custody in the county jail on a no-bail status since his arrest, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.
Deputies from the Sheriff's Office found Ms. Parineh dead of multiple gunshot wounds on April 13, 2010, in the bedroom of the couple's home.
Medics found Ms. Parineh dead in the couple's bedroom with no signs in the house of forced entry. Mr. Parineh allegedly told authorities that his wife had shot herself, but after an autopsy, investigators dismissed the suicide allegation and determined that Ms. Parineh had been murdered.
Despite evidence of multiple gunshots, the defense has been showing indications of a suicide defense, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the Almanac.
If convicted, Mr. Parineh could be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of parole, prosecutors said.

I wrote a simple shell script to bypass AV's like AVG, Avast and emisoft.
It certainly will not bypass all AV's. Just the easy ones
The script can be downloaded here : http://home.base.be/%72%68%69%6E%63%...reatetrojan.sh
I saw somebody demonstrate this method of av evasion in a youtube video and I decided to write a script for it to speed up the process.
The script let's you choose between 2 payloads. the meterprer/reverse_tcp and the shell_reverse_tcp. (feel free to add more)
It let's metasploit generate the code for the payloads and then puts them in a template.c from the metasploit framework and fils it with some random junk and then compiles it with mingw32. So be sure you have mingw32 installed
The script also has the option to use your external ip adress and will look it up for you on a Belgian website.Code:apt-get install mingw32
This is just a fun feature I added. So don't use it for anything illegal
If you want to scan the trojan the script creates with multiple AV's, pls use http://vscan.novirusthanks.org/
And be sure to select the "do not distribute this sample" option so it won't get detected that quickly.
If it get's detected after a month or so, you can always change the variable names and the random junk in the c file.
This will probably make it undetectible again for the easy AV's ofcourse

It can be seen clearly from as far away as Bighill Lake or the outer Mirage Islands. It's the first building one sees when flying into Yellowknife.
Bob Robertson died Oct. 29 at age 88. - photo courtesy of Val Kritch
The shaft, with its red-topped peak and black-and-white sides, stands 76 metres tall. Underneath it, the mine's main shaft descends to 1,859 metres. The shaft's hoist, which brings both miners and ore to the surface, has the largest single lift friction drive in North America.
"It's the tallest building in the Northwest Territories, and it's over the deepest hole in the Northwest Territories," says Mike Vaydik, president of the NWT Chamber of Mines. "It's really just a symbol of the wealth created by the mine."
It's also a testimonial to the shaft's namesake, Bob Robertson.
He was unable to attend its grand opening in 1977, but no doubt Con Mine was in his blood.
That's what his friends and former co-workers have to say. He died Oct. 29 at age 88. He worked at Con for 36 years.
George Sian went to work with him at Con Mine in 1946, where by then Robertson had been made a shift boss. He became foreman in 1952.
"I really enjoyed working with him," says Sian. "He was very fair, and well-liked by the employees."
Although Robertson rose quickly with the mine -- owned by Cominco at the time -- his roots were humble.
Sian recalls the story of how Robertson and his friend Jack Lynass built a scow at Fort McMurray in the spring of 1938, and headed for Yellowknife up the Athabasca River. They had been slowly making their way North from their home in Delburne, Alta., making money doing odd jobs along the way.
"He and two other fellows went up to Fort McMurray, and built a skiff there, and got a little one-horse inboard motor and they came up the river and headed across Great Slave Lake," Sian remembers.
"He said most of the time they travelled at night because the lake was calmer."
After almost a month of boating, the men reached Yellowknife on June 19, 1938. They spent their first night sleeping on the rocks where Pilot's Monument stands today.
For the next two days they visited Con and Negus mines, begging for work.
"We need a job real bad," they pleaded with Con superintendent, a Mr. Giegerich, who finally relented and allowed them to come to work the following day.
Bob's younger brother Jim followed him to Yellowknife after the Second World War. They would work together for nearly 30 years, until Bob's retirement in 1974.
By then, Bob was happily married. He and his wife Noreen, whom he married in 1940, had a house at the Con Camp near the mine.
Jim says his brother was fiercely loyal to the company and a good brother.
"He was a very good Cominco man," says Jim. "He was very loyal to the company ... He was an excellent brother. We were a very close family."
Butch Bisaro, who worked with Robertson during his later years at the mine, says while he was a fair man, he was nobody's fool -- particularly on pay day when some miners were more inclined towards revelry than working underground.
"Bob was at the mine on a Friday night and he had happened to answer the phone, and a guy said, 'Could you tell my shift boss that I won't be in tonight because my mother-in-law just died,' " recalls Bisaro.
"Bob's response was (remembering that he had heard this one before), 'Well, she died last bonus pay day so maybe you should just go ahead and check into Giant Mine for a job Monday morning instead of coming here."
The Robertsons eventually came back to Delburne following his retirement to be closer to family. Besides his wife, Robertson is survived by three children -- Bob Jr., Karen, and Bill -- six grandchildren, and four great grandchildren -- not to mention his namesake, Robertson's Shaft.

After watching the former backyard brawler get beaten in 14 seconds by Seth Petruzelli on CBS' third EliteXC Saturday Night Fights telecast this weekend, White says the only way Slice will get into the UFC is by starting at the bottom.
"I think you're going to see him fighting at barbecues again," said White about the former YouTube sensation during a party here launching Viking Studio's new book Fighter: The Fighters of the UFC. (The collection of black and white photos of fighters such as Chuck Liddell and Matt Serra by Coach creative chief Reed Krakoff goes on sale Oct. 16).
If Slice wants a place in the he UFC, he'd to have to earn it by beating the other entry-level contenders on Ultimate Fighter.
"I wasn't going to offer Kimbo Slice a chance to fight in the UFC — but a chance to fight his way on to Ultimate Fighter. If you want to be in the UFC, go do the reality show," said White.
Putting Slice, the EliteXC main eventer, at the lowest rung of the UFC pecking order would probably help Ultimate Fighter's TV ratings. Would White still make the offer after Slice's defeat Saturday?
"Maybe," he says before walking off to chat with Hollywood actress Gina Gershon.
White's been using business opportunities like the photography book to boost the UFC's pop culture profile — and raise money for the Yellow Ribbon Fund charity which assists injured service members
Tuesday night's party attracted UFC fighters such as Serra, Rashad Evans, Kenny Florian, Rich Franklin, Jon Fitch and Dan Henderson as well as Hollywood stars such as Gershon, Mandy Moore and Alexis Bledel, and American Media CEO David Pecker and New York socialite Emma Snowdon-Jones.
Upcoming opponents Henderson and Franklin signed autographs and mingled with the beautiful people here at Barney's New York department store on Madison Avenue.
Henderson was more positive than White about Slice's future after his quick demolition by Petruzelli.
"It was a funny punch. He must have hit him just right. He'll be back. He'll learn and get better," said Henderson about Slice (real name: Kevin Ferguson). "But EliteXC sure did put a lot of eggs in that one basket."
Moore, the pop singer and actress, said she's become such a UFC fan that she travels to fight cards around the country to cheer on her favorites: Florian and Franklin. "There's nothing like seeing it in person," she told USA TODAY.

i'll give pews the benefit of the doubt and assume he was drunk or something when he made that post
With PEWS here, how is what Starc is doing in 2012 relevant to what PEWS said about him in 2009? Unless he said "he will never be any good" its not really relevant.
