Acerca del creador
This series of books (PzKpfwIV at the front: from 8wheels-good Publishing) is an exploration of the development of the PzIV, the only tank to be in uninterrupted mass production for front line service from the first to the last day of WWII. They are made up entirely from images of my own original photographs that I have collected over the last 10 years. The small profit made on each book will be put back into enlarging and preserving the collection so more titles can be added and images shared. Each volume contains fully captioned images, tables where appropriate and details from the reverse of the photographs. The tables are a collection of dates from all the main references available, existing museum vehicles and photographs which can be dated. They are born from my own frustration of endless trips to the books case to cross reference different sources and the wish to create a one stop reminder. I hope that they will be appealing to historians, wargamers and modelers alike.

My Twisted Summer takes place in Brevard County. Hurricanes, surfing, a twist of fate and adventures to remember.
I thought this thread was going to be about suggestions for books about surfing for Christmas. So not to totally hijack the thread, but at least make it about more than shameless self-promotion, does anyone have any suggestions for good books about surfing (either fiction or non-fiction)? I'm an avid reader and there doesn't seem to be a ton of quality literature out there, especially in the realm of fiction. Obviously, BW2013 you're welcome to make your pitch here as well...
Just read "The Wave" by Susan Casey, awesome read, couldn't put the book down. Non-fiction btw...
Bought My sons West of Jesus (Army Special Forces Medic) and Saltwater Buddha ( Exceptional Education Teacher) for Christmas. I'll read them when they finish them. Both had pretty good reviews.
Can't go wrong with captain Zero
Ditto on In Search of Captain Zero! Also, On A Wave by Thad Ziolkowski, Kook: What Surfing Taught Me about Love, Life, and Catching the Perfect Wave by Peter Heller, and Pipe Dreams by Kelly Slater are pretty good, too. Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton is also pretty good, especially for young folks and if you are OK with the evangelical Christian slant to it. Another oldie but goodie is Men Who Ride Mountains by Peter Dixon.
Ghost Wave!
Crazy For the Storm.
Caught Inside by Daniel Duane. It's an account of the author's time spent surfing the Santa Cruz area. His descriptions of the water, waves and nature are pure art! He also discusses alot of the history of early surfing and relates it to our present time in the water. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a great read so far.
Fierce Heart and Eddie Would Go by Coleman.

Boerne Game Warden SEAFWA Officer of the Year
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Game Warden Vance Wallace was recognized as the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies "Officer of the Year" today.
Wallace, a Garland native, is currently stationed in Boerne. Previous duty stations have included Grapevine in Tarrant County and Baird in Callahan County.
The recognition of Wallace marks the 39th time the award has been presented to a deserving Texas game warden.
Wallace graduated from the 41st Texas Game Warden Academy Dec. 22, 1988. In Tarrant County, Wallace and his partners were among the first to enforce the newly enacted Boating While Intoxicated laws. Before long, BWI patrols were commonplace during peak times of water safety enforcement. During hunting seasons, Wallace worked the mechanical decoy deer operation extensively with other game wardens in the county and district experiencing much success in those early years.
After his transfer to Callahan County in September, 1993, Wallace was very active in his community and church and served as a 4-H shooting sports coach. An annual youth deer hunt first organized by Wallace and the Callahan County sheriff is still going strong today.
Also while in Callahan County, Wallace was recognized as the 2002 Texas Officer of the Year for the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officers.
Since September, 2003, Wallace has worked in Kendall County. There he is a constant presence on the local lake and rivers with his patrol by kayak. He spends considerable time with youth programs and educating the community through interaction and enforcement. During the 2007-2008 hunting season, a local ranch manager reported a possible case of hunting without landowner consent. Working with the local landowner, surveillance was initiated by Wallace and his partner that began the day before Thanksgiving and concluded the end of hunting season.
During the investigation, it was discovered that a multitude of individuals were hunting the land upon the invitation of an individual that had been hired to perform work on the ranch. During the course of this investigation, Wallace purchased, at his personal expense, a concealable game camera and a digital camera with a telephoto lens to assist in the documentation of the violations. Wallace and his partner invested literally hundreds of hours in this investigation. The completion of the case resulted in the presentation to the respective prosecutors: five felony hunt without landowner consent charges; 38 Class A misdemeanor hunt without landowner consent; three Class C misdemeanor fishing violations; one Class C misdemeanor deer tagging violation; and three warnings for license harvest log violations. When the final report was prepared and presented, the prosecutor stated it was one was one of the most detailed and complete reports ever received in prosecutor's office.

Nelson Mandela: An icon in life and death
Fellow South Africans, Nelson Mandela brought us together and it is together that we will bid him farewell. – South African President Jacob Zuma
Nelson Mandela has passed away.
South Africa's first democratically elected president passed away on Thursday evening at his home in Houghton, after a long illness.
'Our nation has lost its greatest son,' South African President Jacob Zuma said.
Zuma added: 'What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human. We saw in him what we seek in ourselves.
'Fellow South Africans, Nelson Mandela brought us together and it is together that we will bid him farewell.'
He said Mandela would receive a full state funeral, and flags would be flown at half-mast.
US President Barack Obama hailed Mandela as a leader who left his country with a legacy of freedom and peace with the world.
'He achieved more than could be expected of any man,' Obama said at the White House, shortly after the announcement of Mandela's death.
'Today he's gone home, and we've lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth,' Obama said.
'He no longer belongs to us – he belongs to the ages.'
Crowds gathered outside Mandela's Houghton, Johannesburg, home, singing and celebrating his life and legacy as the world reacted to the news.
Many others took to the social networks, where they shared their sadness at the news.
Claire Bodman wrote on South African Tourism's Facebook page, 'RIP Nelson Mandela from the UK. God bless.'
Andrea Lennefer from Germany wrote, 'Thinking of all my South African friends – wishing you a calm and peaceful time as a nation together... just as it would have been in your national hero's mind... RIP Madiba.'
The main South African Tourism Twitter account, @GoToSouthAfrica, was flooded with messages filled with love and condolences for the great man. @claireroadley tweeted, 'RIP #Mandela. A sad day for @GoToSouthAfrica – and the whole world. A true inspiration x #tatamadiba.'
@TrvlSpecialist tweeted, 'Nelson Mandela – In Memoriam, may your story and dream live on @southafrica @southafricaANZ @gotosouthafrica.'
Artist Bono, who knew and worked with Mandela, said, 'In the end Nelson Mandela showed us how to love not hate.'
'He made reconciliation happen in South Africa,' added former South African president FW de Klerk, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela in 1993.
'I will never forget my friend Madiba,' former US president Bill Clinton tweeted.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said: 'A great light has gone out in the world.'
UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon tweeted that he would never forget Mandela's 'selflessness and deep sense of shared purpose'.
Singer Rihanna, who recently visited and performed in South Africa, tweeted, '#NelsonMandela you made your people proud!! We'll always love you for it!'
Boxer Mike Tyson tweeted, 'I'm hearing about Nelson Mandela's death while on African soil in Oran, Algeria. Sending prayers to Mandela's family.'
Actor Samuel L Jackson tweeted, 'Never met a better person in my life than Nelson Mandela. My sympathy to his family and his country.'
It has been reported that over next three or four days, Mandela's body is expected to be taken to a military hospital and embalmed.
There will be a memorial service at FNB Stadium (Soccer City) where the FIFA World Cup final was played in 2010. Afterwards, Mandela will lie in state for several days at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Next week, probably on Friday or Saturday, Mandela will be taken by military aircraft to his ancestral hometown of Qunu, which he had asked to be his final resting place.

So I guess now anything less than a sweep is unacceptable, right?
Same lineup, same lines, Lundqvist starts:
Frolov-Anisimov -Boogaard
Should have mentioned earlier that Tortorella added that Drury and Prospal are doing 5-6 hours a day off-ice work. Not just going for a twirl and then going home.
PRE-GAME UPDATE, 6:47 p.m.:
Warmup shenanigans with words, in close quarters, between Avery and Konopka, then Dubinsky and Konopka. Then Boogaard went way over the red line and forced Konopka to sidestep him. Then Sim flipped a puck off Avery's chest, and had words with him several times (how do you not get fined for that?).

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Wrestler" pummeled its opponents at the Spirit Awards on Saturday, winning three awards, including best feature at the independent film world's equivalent of the Oscars.
The film's star, Mickey Rourke, won the male lead race for his comeback title role as a washed-up fighter. French camerawoman Maryse Alberti won the cinematography prize for her work on the film.
Rourke, a Hollywood bad-boy whose career flat-lined years ago before his resurrection in "The Wrestler," basked in the limelight as he received his award to a partial standing ovation underneath a marquee on Santa Monica beach.
After kissing the film's director, Darren Aronofsky, on the lips, the 56-year-old actor launched into a meandering speech in which he recalled being arrested by the local police a decade ago, urged Hollywood to give his friend Eric Roberts another shot, and fought back tears as he paid tribute to his recently deceased Chihuahua dog Loki.
For his part, Aronofsky told reporters backstage that he hoped to work with Rourke again.
"I've been joking with him I'm going to wait five years 'til he screws it up again, and then come back and reinvent him," Aronofsky said.
Rourke and "Milk" star Sean Penn, an absentee Spirit nominee, are the front-runners to win the Academy Award on Sunday. Each year, a handful of Spirit winners usually go on to take home an Oscar, and Aronofsky diplomatically suggested the ideal solution would be a rare tie.
But "Frozen River" star Melissa Leo, who won the female lead Spirit over fellow Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married"), was in no doubt about her prospects.
"I have no chance," Leo said, when asked about her Oscar prospects. "Don't put your money on me."
She suggested it would be a race between Meryl Streep for "Doubt" and Kate Winslet for "The Reader."
Other multiple Spirit winners included "Milk," for James Franco's supporting turn as a gay lover of Penn's character and for rookie scribe Dustin Lance Black's first screenplay.
Black told reporters that gay and lesbian people needed to reintroduce themselves to their communities to prevent electoral setbacks such as the recent California vote that blocked gay marriage.
"I do believe that America loves gay and lesbian people. They just might not have met us yet," Black said.
Black will also compete for an Oscar on Sunday, one of eight awards for which the film is in contention.
"I'm a dreamer so I think we're gonna do well," Black said.
"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" also won a pair of prizes, for director Woody Allen's screenplay and for Spanish actress Penelope Cruz's supporting role in the continental love-triangle romance.
The ceremony's host, British comedian Steve Coogan, joked that a new category would be created in Allen's honor -- "best girl-on-girl action described as art."
In other categories, the best director prize went to Tom McCarthy for the illegal-immigrant saga "The Visitor."
The documentary award went to "Man on Wire," which recounts Frenchman Philippe Petit's tight-rope trek between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
"You know what would have made that film a little better for me," Coogan said to Petit. "If you'd fallen."
The Spirit Awards, now in their 24th year, honor low-budget American films based on such criteria as original, provocative subject matter and the degree of independent financing.

Sunday's Indy 500 Will Be Missing Two Familiar Faces
Sunday's Indianapolis 500 won't be the same for a couple of reasons. Last year's winner, Dan Wheldon, tragically died last October as the result of a collision in a race in Las Vegas. And one of the sports biggest draws will be driving, but in a totally different series. Danica Patrick will miss this year's Indy 500 for the first time since her rookie year in 2005, which ironically is the same year Wheldon won his first 500.

Vive Pro Smooth Intense Conditioner for Dry, Frizzy Fine Hair
I cannot believe how right L'Oreal got it with this product! I have fine but dry relaxed hair that can get very frizzy, especially in the summer months. One of the first things I noticed about this conditioner is that is has a very nice, light, clean scent. It's not overpowering or cloying whatsoever. It did a great job conditioning my hair without weighing it down or making it feel greasy/sticky. For me, there's a fine line between moisturizing dry relaxed hair and slathering it hair in oil and L'Oreal Vive Pro Smooth Intense For Frizzy Hair really has that perfect balance. It left my hair so easy to comb out while wet and my blow outs were so much smoother and softer. Even when I let my hair air dry I could feel and see the difference in my hair. After continued use, I could still see the benefits and did not develop any product buildup -- which is a pet peeve of mine with some drugstore brands. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Excellent product for the price!

Former Light photographer touched many
Published 8:53 pm, Monday, February 18, 2013
Tommy Hultgren, a photographer at the San Antonio Light, touched people with his wit, heart and generosity — traits that elevated his talent to capture people at just the right moment.
"He just didn't know a stranger," said Jim Blaylock, who was director of photography at the Light when it closed in 1993. "He had that natural ability to put people at ease, and it helped his photography. It was a rare personality."
After the Light closed, Hultgren went on to become a successful freelance photographer. Hultgren died Thursday in a Dallas hospital from complications associated with a rare lung disease. He was 49.
Trish DeBerry, president of the DeBerry Group, said Hultgren became a personal friend over the years as a contract photographer for both her firm and family.
DeBerry said his portraits demonstrated his gift of "capturing people at their best moment."
News Channel
"He had a way of making the ordinary extraordinary," she said. "His generosity — you could not help but like Tommy Hultgren. He just had a way of touching people."
His wife, Julie Jerome, said he was born in Alamogordo, N.M., but his family moved to San Antonio when he was 8, and he graduated from Marshall High School.
Hultgren exhibited outstanding photographic skills as a young man and developed a reputation for the way he used light in photos of people, his wife said.
He worked at the Denton Record-Chronicle after attending what then was North Texas State University. He also worked at the Kerrville Daily Times.
Jerome said her husband considered his six years at the Light his greatest years from a professional point of view; so it hit him hard when the paper closed. But he "landed on his feet" with his own company, his wife said, shooting freelance work for the Associated Press and various newspapers while doing corporate jobs for leading businesses, such as H-E-B and the old Southwestern Bell telephone company.
Hultgren had two children from a previous marriage.
More Information
Thomas "Tommy" Lee Hultgren
He and Jerome had been living in New Braunfels for several years, and would have celebrated their sixth anniversary in March.
Andy Clayton King, another Light photographer, said Hultgren was a happy guy who lived and breathed photography.
"He loved to shoot faces," his wife said. "As a journalist, it was always about people."

Low lakes increasing risk of deadly boat crashes
The worsening Texas drought is not only taking a toll on yards, crops and wildlife – it can be deadly for boaters.
Lack of rain and abnormally high, dry winds have led to significant water level drops in many Texas lakes and waterways. And shallow water can mean trouble for recreational boaters.
During the last protracted dry spell, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department records show that Texas saw a high incidence of boating-related accidents. Most of those accidents were due to boaters grounding or hitting submerged objects because of very low lake levels across the state."Looking at the three-year time frame (2007, 2008 and 2009) we responded to 148 boating accidents that were caused by grounding, hitting submerged objects, or hitting fixed objects," said Jeff Parrish, TPWD's Assistant Chief for Marine Law Enforcement. "Of these 148 accidents, 15 resulted in death and 123 caused injuries requiring treatment beyond first aid."
Parrish said the most common factor resulting in injury or death was the operator or passengers being ejected from the vessel upon impact.The best precaution to take is also the most simple: pay attention to where you're going and beware that with low water, dangerous rocks, tree stumps or other normally submerged objects could be right below the surface.
"As we are rapidly entering another year of low lake levels, it is critically important for boaters to be aware of their surroundings," Parrish said. "Some river authorities will provide buoys marking underwater hazards and dangerous obstacles, but this is not always the case. Low lake levels provide many inherent dangers and boaters need to be respectful of these."Other activities such as pulling tubers and water skiers should also be undertaken with the utmost care on lakes with low lake levels, he said."With so many of our lakes way lower than normal," Parrish continued, "this summer it's even more critical to have personal flotation devices for everyone on your boat and to make sure all children under the age of 13 are wearing one. And don't risk going to jail by operating a boat if you've been drinking."

Results 1 to 9 of 9
Thread: Microphones
So, yeah, I'm looking for a mic. Sadly, I don't know anything about them, so I've got a lot of questions.
Uses: Main reason I'm buying one is online gaming (tribes ascend pugs and probably some arma with rps. both of these use mumble), but I'd also like to be able to be creative with it when I want, because I might get into letsplaying or recording stuff and I want decent sound quality for that (I agree with the guy in the video, it should sound at least that good (if the prize allows it)).
1. I've heard that a microphone may suit to one person and not to the other, since it's all very dependent on what kind of voice you have, and therefore you should test out different ones before purchasing one. Would you agree with that and consider it important?
2. Will I be able to get a well-sounding mic that I can just plug into my pc, maybe install some software, and then I'm good to go? Do I need additional power sources or other hardware?
3. Does high prize automatically mean good sound quality? Should I avoid those 5-euro logitech table mics that you see in stores, or will one of those absolutely do the job? My price cap is about 80-100€.
4. I'm currently using speakers to listen to things. Are headphones a must because the mic would pick up game sounds etc. otherwise?
I think that's it. Thanks in advance for any answers and recommendations.
edit: oh yeah, the push-to-talk thing. Is it something that comes with the mic and certain ones don't have it so I should take it into account as well when choosing one, or can I control that entirely on the software side if need be?

I'm no expert on this but PTT is generally a function of the software you're using to talk with and not the headset (tho some may have a button which will do that, you can assign one on the keyboard or mouse too usually)
Gaming = a headset for sure tho
If you're thinking of recording your voice for podcasts or other work, you might want to consider some sort of static mic with some sort of baffles/breath filters etc (the fuzzy things or meshes you see on radio hosts desks etc.) - you're talking about spending a LOT more money here but it's fully worthwhile for recording you and not your breathing, scratching, typing, farting etc. :)
Believe me - when you've just recorded 40 mins of chat and realise about half of it is unusable due to background crap you'll wish you'd spent that money - but just for in-game chitchat, choose a nice headset based on comfort and audio quality. All the popular choices have many online reviews and most can be tried on local PC stores etc.

I personally hate headsets, I've tried a bunch of them and they work inconsistently. I've had much better luck with a $20 logitech standing microphone. The base did get snapped a while back but it still records from the other side of the desk.
+1 for discrete microphones. Headphones with integrated mics are uniformly garbage.
Sennheiser PC 350 have worked very well for me. The mic works better than any cheap table mic, and it's a lot more convenient to have it in the headset than on the table. And the sound, of course, is excellent. Unfortunately they're probably a bit too expensive here.
If you want to use your Micorphone for more 'professional' (meaning other stuff besides playing games and talking to people) things, I think the Microphone I saw being recommended the most was the Samson C01U. It's a USB-Microphone, costs about 80-100€ and does not require you to install any additional software. I bought it myself last summer and it's perfectly fine for me. I would recommend using headphones, if you want to record your voice while playing a game, otherwise it would definately pick up the sound from your speakers.

I've had tolerable (where tolerable is people don't go "In Satan's name, what kind of terrible microphone are you using?" in voice chat) performance out of the cheap Cosonic headset microphone, but I couldn't say if it would be good enough for presentation work.
Thanks for all the answers, guys. After much consideration and quite a bit of research I decided that I'll get a headset for gaming and any actual recording for the time being. My choice fell on the logitech g330. It's not the best one there is, but it is not too crappy as well, and I can actually get it somewhere (I've looked around and most stores in my vicinity hardly offer any (good) mics or headsets). Also I'm tired of looking/listening to bad reviews on the internet. Thanks again for your advices everyone, and feel free to derail/discuss further things.
edit: Guess what, the mic on it doesn't actually work. That's too bad, because it was quite comfortable.
edit2: Got the Plantronics gamecom 780 for fifty bucks. Not that comfortable, but mic and headphones are working well for that price.

Im using a cheap (10 bucks) tabletop Microphone from Logitech.
I prefer it over my old Headset :
Recording Quality is good.
Headphones can be bought/replaced separately.
I can eat/drink.
More Comfort.
Can be turned of manually.
Headphones are a must,or you will blast all your Gamesounds over the Voip.
But Headsets have that Problem to a lesser Extend too.Great Search Engine for Game bargains:

|About the Book
It matters that children gain, through teacher guidance, the social-emotional skills they need to succeed and participate civilly in modern, democratic society. It matters to them—and to all of us.
Today's early childhood educators are looking for education models for the twenty-first century—models that tap into each child's full learning potential and educate all children toward active participation in democracy. Tracing the historical roots of progressive education, and using anecdotes and case studies, Dan Gartrell argues that best practices in early childhood education, which include family-teacher partnerships, developmentally appropriate curriculum and assessment, and guidance, provide the framework for what the new education model for all levels of schooling should be: educating children for civil participation in society.
Through the use of guidance, Gartrell explains, teachers empower children to progress toward the five democratic life skills. These skills give young children the tools they need to function intelligently and ethically amidst the complexity and diversity of modern human life—and to ensure and sustain civil society into the next century.
|About the Author
Dan Gartrell started his career in education as a teacher at an inner-city elementary school in Ohio and later taught in the Head Start program of the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota. He holds a doctorate in teacher education/early childhood and is Professor Emeritus of Early Childhood and Foundations Education at Bemidji State University in Minnesota. As former director of Bemidji's Child Development Training Program, a CDA trainer, and a student teaching supervisor, he has helped scores of students start their journey to becoming excellent educators.
Once introduced at a conference as "the guidance guy,"
Dan has spoken extensively on using guidance with young
children and related topics. He writes the Guidance Matters
column in NAEYC's journal, Young Children, and has contributed several additional articles to the journal. The sixth edition of his textbook on guidance, A Guidance Approach for the
Encouraging Classroom, will be forthcoming in 2013. Dan has also written The Power of Guidance: Teaching Social-Emotional Skills to Young Children and What the Kids Said Today.
Dan and his wife, Dr. Julie Jochum, live in Minnesota. The 11 grandchildren in their blended family know Dan as the grandpa who tells friendly jokes and makes pretty good "papadanpancakes" (the secret is strawberry yogurt in the batter). He enjoys nature photography and being outdoors in the north woods and on the lake near Bemidji, Minnesota.
"In this volume, respected guidance expert Dan Gartrell takes on a societal challenge that is absolutely critical today: promoting civility. He makes the case that starting in early childhood is crucial. With his thoughtfulness and depth of experience, store of delightful anecdotes, and engaging and comfortable style, Dan puts civility in the context of best early childhood practices and shows us how to foster it in our classrooms."
— Carol Copple, coeditor of Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through Age 8
"Children learning that 'I am angry' trumps 'You dumb butthead' is more than humor and anecdote in Dan Gartrell's book. This is a trip through history, neuroscience, guidance, and examination of what education should be—self-respect together with mutual respect. A must-read for educators, teacher educators, and future educators alike."
— Karen Cairone, Devereux Center for Resilient Children

Rep. David B. McKinley believes it is unfair to tax small businesses at the rate of major corporations, and he is urging President Barack Obama to consider the negative effect his most recent "fiscal cliff" proposal will have on the nation's small businesses.
McKinley, R-W.Va., spoke this week on the House floor about Obama's plan to address the fiscal cliff, and he sent a letter to Obama asking him to "please prioritize the fiscal negotiations by putting spending reductions before addressing revenues."
Obama has been holding firm to his plan to raise tax rates for the wealthy in exchange for making cuts to federal entitlement programs.
But McKinley criticized Obama's proposal for not differentiating between small businesses and large corporations, and for treating small businesses "the same as the wealthiest Americans." McKinley also believes Obama is ignoring "the central driver of our deficit - government spending."
"On the first matter, why would we lump the owner of a hardware store together with a Wall Street executive and tax them at the same rate?" McKinley asked in the letter. "When you talk about the rich paying their fair share, you fail to mention your plan also raises the same rate of taxes on small businesses.
"Earlier this week you told factory workers that your plan is to 'ask the wealthiest Americans to pay a slightly higher tax rate.' Previously, you've stated that 'millionaires and billionaires can afford to pay a little bit more.' Not once have you publicly acknowledged your plan will raise taxes on owners of small family businesses."
McKinley cited figures from the Joint Committee on Taxation noting that 940,000 small firms will face higher taxes under the plan, and an Ernst and Young report noting that 710,000 jobs would be lost "if small businesses are taxed at the same rate as wealthy executives."
"These are not the 'wealthiest Americans,' but are the proprietors of small, family owned businesses in every town in America ... " McKinley said. "Generally, I am opposed to raising taxes. However, if in the spirit of compromise Congress must adopt new revenue in order to achieve reductions, then Congress must insist that personal wages be separated from small business income and tax them differently."
This could be done using the information already filed on the 1040 tax form, just like taxpayers report capital gains, dividends and interest payments.
"On the second matter - the spending side of the equation - surely you understand that raising taxes on small businesses and Wall Street executives won't cover the deficit," McKinley added. "Despite this reality, you consistently confuse the public by ignoring the role cutting spending will play in deficit reduction."

2010 William R. Cashen Service award winner
Marta Mueller
Marta Mueller graduated from UAF in 1995 with a degree in biological sciences. She is currently a natural resource manager with the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources in Anchorage.
As an alumna Marta has volunteered tirelessly on behalf of the UAF Alumni Association, initially assisting with events such as Grad Bash, the annual wine tasting, and the Fairbanks Chapter Alumni hamburger booth at the Tanana Valley State Fair. Her service led to becoming a chapter officer in both Fairbanks and Southcentral, first as Fairbanks Chapter Secretary from 2004 – 2007, and then transitioning to Fairbanks Chapter Treasurer for 2007 – 2008.
In 2008 a promotion moved Marta to Anchorage, where the Southcentral chapter quickly recruited her. She has served as treasurer since 2009. Even though she now lives in Anchorage, Marta each year comes to Fairbanks to work at the UAFAA hamburger booth as a day supervisor for the closing day of the Tanana Valley State Fair. She is known by her crews for her boundless enthusiasm and good spirit. Volunteers ask to work on her day, as they have grown to appreciate the bonhomie she brings to the booth.
Until she moved away from Fairbanks, Marta also gave back to the student population, holding a number of advisor positions with the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority. Between 1998 until her move in 2008 Marta served at one time or another as membership/education advisor, chapter advisor, and financial advisor.
Marta is an excellent representative of the quality alumnae the University of Alaska Fairbanks graduates, and an example of how paying it forward can make a difference.
It is with great pleasure that the UAF Alumni Association Fairbanks Chapter awards Marta Mueller the 2010 William R. Cashen Service Award.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – In the first day of action at the Saint Leo Classic tournament, the Lions split a pair of matches, falling first to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) Hardrockers before bouncing back to defeat the Molloy Lions in three sets.
In a heartbreaking fashion, the Lions fell to the Hardrockers after five long sets of lead-changing volleyball (25-18, 37-39, 25-20, 25-27, 18-20). The outcome of the over 2 and a half hour match was a disappointing start to the Lions' tournament, despite the individuals successes on the court. In the effort, junior Lauren Campbell notched 23 kills, while junior libero Yaidimar Santiago collected 29 digs. Key performers also included Tawni Warren (15 kills), Jillian Stolzenburg (14 kills), and Meghan Donovan (12 kills). Molly Alexander also notched 17 digs while Jaclyn Mailoto tallied 64 assists in the loss.
After the tough loss, the Lions regained their composure and took the court against the visiting Molloy Lions, whom they defeated in three quick sets (25-17, 25-9, 25-6). After a back and forth first set, Saint Leo hit a strong momentum and the home team was able to finish the match in less than one hour. Despite the timing, freshman Hope Lemon was able to collect ten kills in the effort, while Campbell and sophomore Tayler Hegg notched seven and six kills, respectively. In typical fashion, senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto led the team in assists during the match, collecting 29 to put her season total well near 300. On the defensive side of the game, both Mailoto and Santiago tallied six digs in the win, as Warren trailed closely behind with five.
The Saint Leo Lions will return to action tomorrow afternoon when they wrap up their Saint Leo Classic tournament with matches against Columbus State and Cedarville. The Lions' first match of the day is set for 1 p.m.

This article was posted on Bloomberg BusinessWeek
By Thomas Gold
VP, Research
Middle school students probably aren't spending much time obsessing over future job prospects. Their parents—as well as economists and researchers—are.
For good reason. A recent Brookings Institute report revealed that for the first time in 30 years, the percentage of firms departing the economy exceeded those entering it. This is due less to the number of company deaths, which has remained relatively stable, than to the number of new firms, which as a percentage of all companies fell by half during this period. These results are further supported by the annual index of entrepreneurial activity released by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in April. The report found a continuing decline in entrepreneurial activity in 2013, with the number of business startups back at the prerecession levels of 2006.

I have a table called Orders and another table called OrderDetails.
My Order table contains information about the order (who placed it, OrderDate, their BilltoID, etc)
The OrderDetails table contains line by line information about what products were part of the order. Example, productID, ProductName, productType, etc.
I have to begin with a query giving a list of the orders based on their BilltoID. That query is:
SELECT o.ID,OrderDate,ShipDate,CALC_GrandTotal,ShipTrackingNum,o.ShipType,
CASE ost.Name WHEN 'Taken' THEN 'In Progress'
ELSE ost.Name END AS OrderStatus
FROM vwOrders o INNER JOIN
vwOrderStatusTypes ost ON o.OrderStatusID=ost.ID
WHERE BillToID= 123456
How can I include in my query something that lets me know if there was a product of a certain productType in the order. I don't have to know the productID or any information about it, other than if the order contained a certain productType within the order. Something like a Boolean value called 'HasChart' which is set to 1 or 0. Any suggestions?
and yet the query you posted references "vwOrders" which smells a lot like a view, and "vwOrderStatusTypes" which looks nothing like an OrderDetails table
where's this productType column? which table?
Ah! Yes indeed these are views, not tables. The productType column is on the vwOrderDetails view.
what about ost.Name? do you still need that? are there any column from vwOrderStatusTypes that you need besides productType?
Thanks, I do still need to hang on to ost.Name. No other columns on vwOrderStatusTypes that I care about besides productType. I just need to know if the order contains a certain type of product, yes or no.
well, doing anything like this (if the order contains a certain type of product) can only be done at the order ("one") level, not at the product ("many") level, but you do want to return product data...
... so to get this done in the query will take what to my mind is unnecessary extra processing (a correlated subquery, which is quite inefficient)
can't you do this in your application language (php or whatever) while you're looping over the products for an order?
Withut seeing the table schemas something like this would be my guess:
,CASE ost.Name WHEN 'Taken' THEN 'In Progress' ELSE ost.Name END AS OrderStatus
,MAX(CASE WHEN od.productType IN ('typename') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) hasProductType
vwOrders o
vwOrderStatusTypes ost
vwOrderDetails od
o.ID = od.orderID #change this name of foreign key column#
BillToID= 123456
Also in terms of readability you should consider qualifying each column with the table alias.
this works! I was thinking a case statement but had such trouble coming up with something that worked.The only issue I came across with this was the Group By, instead of
GROUP BY o.ID
With just o.ID, I get an error about each item "not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause". So I had to add all the selected values:
GROUP BY o.ID, o.OrderDate, o.ShipDate,o.CALC_GrandTotal,o.ShipTrackingNum,o.ShipType,ost.Name
Does this make sense? Or would there be a better way to handle it?
Thanks again.
If it was php I could. But I'm working with an asp.net datagrid and I don't know how to loop through and stick in the values into the same datagrid. Actually I'm not sure that's possible at all in .net.
That would be correct, thought you were using MySQL.

These two great hierarchs shepherded the Church in Alexandria during times of its persecution by heretics, whose mistaken and perverted teachings injured the life of the Faithful. St. Athanasios the Great grew up in Egypt and attended the First Ecumenical Council in a.d. 325 where the teachings of Arius, that Christ was created by God, but not God Himself, were condemned. As Patriarch of Alexandria from a.d. 328 to 373, he was hated and persecuted by Arians throughout most of his life. He lived in exile for 46 years, hiding from his persecutors in the desert, in a well, in a grave, and in private houses. He, however, ended his life in peace in a.d. 373, restored again to his flock in Alexandria.
St. Cyril was the Patriarch of Alexandria from a.d. 412 to 444, and was the champion of Orthodoxy against the Nestorian heresy, which was condemned in a.d. 431 at the Third Ecumenical Council. This heresy taught the disunion of the human and Divine natures of Christ, and because of this, would not call the Virgin Mary the Birth-giver of God. St. Cyril left a rich legacy of his discourses and theological writings for us today.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2013 (1640 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
RAINY days in Winnipeg have given some city employees time to run other errands while on the job.
City of Winnipeg student or seasonal employees who are sent home due to bad weather are paid for an additional two hours of work, according to the city's collective agreement. In other instances, a supervisor may assign employees to other duties that do not depend on the weather or give them the choice of going home as an excused absence.
City of Winnipeg spokeswoman Tammy Melesko said in an email statement the provisions primarily affect parks and street maintenance workers and there are no specific guidelines to define what constitutes inclement weather.
A freedom-of-information request shows the City of Winnipeg does not keep records of the number of seasonal or student employees who are given alternate duties or are sent home with pay on rainy days. Environment Canada weather records show there were 57 days where more than five millimetres of rain fell between April and September in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
A parks and open space division worker, who requested anonymity, said the city needs to find a new way to operate on inclement weather days as the current system is "out of control." The employee said even though a foreman tries to find indoor work for people to do during bad weather, there sometimes isn't enough work.
On one occasion, he said his crew drove around in the rain, and one worker had time to get a haircut.
"The whole process probably took an hour and a half," he said. "It was at a mall so the rest of us just hung out and checked out a couple of stores."
Karen Byzuk, communications officer for CUPE Local 500, said City of Winnipeg workers are as productive as they can be during inclement weather and that it's up to management to tell workers what they should do on rainy days.
"They want to be productive employees and they want to provide quality services to the citizens," Byzuk said. "If they can't cut grass, for example, then there's hopefully some other things that they can do."
A former worker for the city's insect control branch, who asked to remain anonymous, said she and her co-workers continued to work on rainy days unless there was a sign of lightning.
"If it was storming and lightning all day and the weather indicated that it was going to stay that way then sometimes we were called and told that our shift was cancelled," she said. "If we were already working outside and it started to rain (with lightning) we had to wait until we hadn't heard/seen thunder and lightning for 30 minutes before we could resume work."
The woman said the storms would usually pass quickly, or staff would head back inside to do other work. She said if there was no lightning they would continue working outside in the rain.
"When people see us sitting in our trucks it's not necessarily because the workers are slacking off -- we sit in our trucks for our designated breaks and lunch periods," she said. "We are only human and working eight hours in the cold rain sucks. I think anyone would take a couple of minutes to stay in the warm truck.
"I am not saying that there weren't people who took huge advantage of this, but you always have a few bad apples."
Colin Craig, prairie director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, believes the City of Winnipeg should keep track of what kind of money they are spending on inclement weather days and be held accountable.
"People like to know where their money is going because they have to pay taxes," Craig said. "No one is forced to shop at a particular business but everyone who lives in Winnipeg has to pay property taxes if they own a home."
Another city parks employee believes it can be difficult to work on rainy days.
"If it's raining hard people will normally wait for it to let up or lessen to get what you have to get done for the day," he said. "There are so many days where they should have obviously sent us home with... pay."
This worker said it's hard to turn down the option to stay at work, not do much and get paid a full day.
"In many of these cases I would say that paying for the whole day of work is more of a waste of taxpayer dollars," he said.

Ireland vs. Namibia
The ICC Intercontinental Cup match due to start between Ireland and Namibia in Belfast tomorrow will not go ahead as planned.
Cricket Namibia failed to arrive in time to play the match citing difficulties in securing UK travel visas for its squad members. It is still hoped that the two 50-over international matches will go ahead as planned provided the Namibia team arrives in time for those fixtures.
As previously stated, while the ICC offers assistance where it can, it is the responsibility of each team's home board to arrange its own visas in advance of any tour.
Following due consideration and consultation, the ICC has given the two participating home boards the opportunity to propose an amicable agreement as to how best to deal with the I Cup fixture and any other relevant matters.

If you have a process created using LiveCycle 7.x that has been migrated into LiveCycle ES, and it contains branches, you notice that data variables lose their values when moving from one branch to the next.
Consider this example:
The example shows two branches, each containing a User activity, which assigns a task to a user's queue with a form merged with data. Different data is set for each user in the first step in each branch. Therefore User1 opens a form in Workspace and expects to see <BRANCH 1 DATA>; User2 expects to see <BRANCH 2 DATA>.
Note the following variables for this process:
There are separate variables for each branch. However, when the process is run and the flow reaches the first User activity in branch1, it overwrites the data in branch2 (in the branch2_form), which means that both users see <BRANCH 1 DATA> in the form at run time.
This issue has been fixed in ES SP4 (22.214.171.124), ES3 (10) and later versions. If you require a patch for this issue for LiveCycle ES 8.2.1. contact Enterprise Support.

Multitasking machines and how they can also make use of five-axis machining in conjunction with conventional milling and turning operations will be discussed.
Topics to be covered in this webinar include:
- Overview of five-axis machining
- Primary types of five-axis machines
- Benefits of five-axis machining
- Various applications for five-axis machining
- Five-axis programming techniques


text: This Pot de Creme is like a turbo-charged version of butterscotch pudding. The texture is like silk and the taste is sweet, with just a slight bitter edge from the burnt sugar in the butterscotch. Cooking the butter and brown sugar together until it is smoking hot is the key to the flavor. If you don't bring them to the brink of burning, the pudding will be way too sweet for my taste. The creme fraiche (young sour cream) is unsweetened and the perfect balance for the pudding.

I swallowed,keeping the feeling in my gut there.You could say I couldn't get out of there fast enough,as I boarded my plane to Washington just a half hour after.
Usually people leave to a better place to get away from something for a while or permanently.I hated both where I was leaving from and where I was headed to.Neither provided any kind of safety for me,and neither was filled with good memories.I was due to arrival in 4 hours and staying for an undetermined period of time.
Even though thinking about my destination was something I detested,I would be stepping on its ground soon enough.Forks,Washington.Somewhere on the boundaries of that insignificant little town the Quileute rezervation of La Push set its own.

I didn't need a reminder-not even from myself.If this is what makes me immune to everything,then so be it.I couldn't complain about this either as the plane took off,flying me to what ironically would be my personal hell.

My best friend told me it was the worst sound she's ever heard,and I just shrugged at her.That is something-or,whatever,was something-considering how much I hanged on her every word.But now we weren't best friends anymore.Having a friend was about having someone to understand you beside what your parents could do,for a part.Rae didn't understand me anymore.How could she,when I didn't understand myself?I wasn't looking for her advice anymore,and I didn't go to her when tragedy striked me for a second time in my life,but I didn't exactly close off from the world.I just didn't give an honest damn about the world around me.That doesn't necessarily make me unobservant,because I noticed how a boy looking about 10 or so kept looking at me from a few rows ahead whenever my songs shuffled.I knew he was staring at my black clothes and general glaring towards any cloud passing by.There were tons of actions people did that seemed so pointless to me I tried not to snort.Just people living in their pink little bubble.I gave a malicious grin as I imagined the plane crash and everybody panicking,their pretty little worlds cracking.Sure,anyone who'd hear me think would classfy me as a mean goth girl.
I wasn't mean,and I definately wasn't goth.Music couldn't make anything out of me,and friends even less,but that's just another fact of my life.
As the songs shifted further and further into my 1000 songs playlist,the plane hit the ground,of course,not as I imagined it a few minutes ago.
I barely felt the bump as a particularily blasting song broke through the headphones.I couldn't give more of a damn about the name of the band or so-called artist playing,because I only listened to the lyrics.
But as soon as it stopped and we could leave,I was the first to leave it,not because I was eager to meet my doom,but otherwise my saving,I left because I felt trapped into a world of happy people.I knew the world outside wouldn't be much better in a town as small as Port Angeles,and even worse as I'd get to Forks,but as I had my mp3 with me,it made things less horrible.
Nobody would pick me up at the airport-but that's what busses were for.I preffered a gum-stocked bus rather than my dad picking me up in that horrible stinking truck,it was absolutely repelling.I didn't need directions-I'm sure it hasn't changed much.I even managed to spot a boy I haven't seen in positively 6 years,but that I didn't remember the name of.
The bus stopped short on Forks,so I had to walk to La Push.Charming.But I gave it a thought,thing that I don't do so much lately,and realized I don't mind anything that delayed my arrival.
I knew from experience and common knowledge that Forks was not a town you wanted to live in if you didn't like the massive hours of rain devoted to this place,but I haven't bothered to bring a jacket.And so by the time I got to La Push,I think the clothes in my bag were wet too.
But I couldn't say anything anymore as the beach came into view.La Push,despite holding despised memories was a peaceful place-for most.It was far quieter than Forks and smaller,but not by much.
I wasn't far from my once-adored home,yet now I couldn't hate the place more.
As soon as the sand got solid and I was walking down a patio to the door of hell,I looked up.Seeing this house after the divorce and moving away was hard-but this-,this was like a fresh slap to the face.
It was fate's twisted way of telling me:that's what you get for living a perfect life.
This time I snorted.More like a perfectly virtual life.
My..dad's truck was parked on the curb,still as messy as ever.Mom and I used to make fun of him for loving that car-but now it holds bad memories,as does everything else around me.But there was nothing that came close to the house in front of me.
My heart couldn't beat faster as the front door parted with the wall.If I reffered to this as hell,then it seemed obvious that the devil would be opening the door to me.Who I found standing there was nothing like my father,not even close.But of course,this was appearence,and I'd never judge a book by its cover,my unofficial motto.Doing that took me so many places I never wanted to go,but it took its toll on my mother.She was so in love with dad,she said it to me over the divorce.He was just the perfect kinda guy for her.I see now just how perfect he seemed to be.He's wearing jeans and a t-shirt and waving at me with a kind smile on his face.If this were any other me,she'd run right to him and hug him,telling him how much she missed him.But this me wanted to turn around and run like hell.
It didn't help the situation if I stood there staring like the idiot that I was.I swallowed down my feelings again and took the first step forward.I didn't have to walk long before I was wrapped into an unconfortable hug that I didn't want to return.
"Hey kiddo.How are you feeling?"
One of the few things my dad never did was talk about feelings-he made sure I had someone to talk to though,that's why mom knows all about me-knew.She knew enough for both of them.
Now,how was I feeling?At the moment,disgusted.How did he think I was feeling?I was perfectly fine physically,so I guess that was the answer,since I don't give more of a damn about my condition than I do about the world.
"Fine." My voice came out confident,despite the lack of that I was experiencing.Again I cursed the one who filled me with common courtesy.
"How are you?"
"Your old man can take a lot of things,but he can't take seeing you hurt.So,now that you're here,I'm happy."
I bit my tongue,a habbit I've gotten a few weeks ago when I knew I really didn't have to do or say what I wanted,because it would end up bad.Nodding helped too-it was an alternative to shaking my head furiously.
I walked past everything,stumbling up the stairs to my old bedroom.The first thing I had to do before I even settled my backpack down was redecorating.
I ripped all the pictures from my beloved wall a few years back-they hurt to look at in more ways than one.I cleared out what clothes I left here in the wardrobe I had always been proud of-I had the biggest one of my old friends and threw the clothes into the big garbage bin outside.I could've donated them,but this was the new me.
I took the covers off my one-person bed and put them somewhere in the hallway cabinet.
Then I got out all my posters and cds.I sticked them to everything I could-walls,door,even the mirror-I didn't need to see myself these days.Plus,I had another mirror in the bathroom-ah,the bathroom.The horrible pink in it sent shivers down my spine.I had to get a tin of paint tomorrow and spill it over the walls.
I knew how my actions made me look like a troubled emo or something,but I really wasn't.I was mad at life and it was mutual.
I took a look around the room,and was pleased to find you could actually look at it.There,my job's done.I threw my body on the empty matterss of the bed and my hands went under my head,my eyes closing.
That was the most horrible night I've had since the day dad and mom fought.I couldn't describe the nightmare that greeted me.It was the perfect setting,and when I woke up I thought it couldn't be worse-I was in the house of my nightmare.But everything I put around was a reminder of the timeline I was living in.
I sighed disgusted and stood,ignoring the creaks in the wooden floor.The sun had just come up,but I took it as long as it took me to change to disappear behind the clouds.
I got my crippled clothes from my bag and threw jeans and a hoodie on.I had a fairly big number of those-11 and I planned to add to it.
My long black hair was mercilessly placed into a loose bun and my mp3 took its irreplaceable part in my day as I tried to make as less noise as possible and slipped out of the house.
I ran along First Beach until I reached the cliffs,and my feet didn't listen to me anymore on the way back.I wandered around until I found the path that lead up to them,and the air inside the woods was ever colder than on the beach.
I pushed away the last of the branches and I realized I wasn't far from the edge.Looking over it,it seemed even higher.The waves were smashing violently against the rocks and chills ran through me.
I didn't realize the danger I was in though.My mind was the danger,as an idea formed into my head,dangerously close to my 'do' button.
I was hypnotized by the foam of the waves and wind blowing hard into my face.
And the song that was playing wasn't helping my rational judgement either.It was Closer To The Edge by Thirty Seconds To Mars,one of the few bands I actually cared about.I pondered for a moment how it would be if I could be by my mom's side again,and I found it as not a bad idea,standing close to falling.
Air didn't seem to want to fill my lungs as I decided.
But even without my hearing and sense of smell,I wouldn't go back on this.That was,until even through the song at its maximum,I heard a sound similar to a twig snapping.It must've been a hell of a large twig for me to have heard anything.
I turned around and removed my headphones,my eyes searching for the source of the sound.
What got out of the wood not far behind was hard not to stare at.It was probably one of the boys on the reservation,with the black hair and dark eyes,but I've never seen quite a boy like him in my life.
A/N:sorry about the song,I couldn't find something more original so fast:d It'll probably change over time.

JB and the Moonshine Band featuring Angaleena Presley 'Black and White' World Debut
Last week JB and the Moonshine Band stopped by Radio Texas, LIVE! for the world debut of their brand new single "Black and White" featuring Angaleena Presley of Pistol Annie fame. We did that, had some fun, plus the guys sang a brand new song "Light it Up."
Hear "Light it Up" LIVE.
Before the "Black and White" debut, JB and the guys sang a brand new song live for us. "It's a song we just wrote," JB said. "We've played it maybe at two shows, possibly three. But that's it. Potentially the title track of our next album."
There was a little confusion on my part when it came to the debut of the new song. I got it mixed up with a Michael Jackson song, sorry guys.
But like we do, we got it all figured out — and we played a brand new game called "Yes or No." Hear how JB did at the game and the official world debut of "Black and White," featuring Angaleena Presley, below:

Florida overcomes injury, illness woes to qualify for NCAA Championships
Published: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 27, 2013 at 11:34 p.m.
In his 26-year coaching career at Florida, Buddy Alexander's golf teams have somehow managed to avoid the potential season-altering setbacks that no coach can control.
Today's match
What: NCAA Championships
Where: Capital City Club-Crabapple Course, Woodstock, Ga.
When: Today through Sunday
Format: 54 holes of stroke play, with the top eight teams advancing to match play.
UF lineup: 1. Tyler McCumber (72.38); 2. T.J. Vogel (73.03); 3. J.D. Tomlinson (73.94); 4. Eric Banks (73.75); 5. Tommy Mou (74.67).
Injuries, illness and accidents.
"I've been really lucky through the years with injuries," said Alexander, whose team opens play today in the NCAA Championships at the Capital City Club-Crabapple Course in Woodstock, Ga. "In 1990, Dudley Hart broke a rib and couldn't play in the SEC Tournament and we got beat in a playoff. Other than that, literally, I've had nothing go wrong from an injury and illness standpoint."
Alexander's luck ran out this season. The injury/illness/accident bug finally caught up with the Gators.
It started with Eric Banks undergoing open-heart surgery that sidelined him for six months between his freshman and sophomore seasons. Then No. 2 golfer T.J. Vogel sustained a sports hernia injury just before the start of the spring season. No. 1 golfer Tyler McCumber opened the spring season with walking pneumonia. Vogel and others came down with the flu early in the season.
"It's been an interesting season from that standpoint," Alexander said.
It's a season that has been impacted by illness and injury. The Gators pretty much stumbled through the spring, winning zero tournaments with a best finish of fourth place.
Now, the latest: J.D. Tomlinson's toe. The sophomore from Gainesville has stitches in his right big toe after cutting it on some tile by the family pool. He is expected to be fine for the NCAA Championships.
Here's the good news for the Gators: Other than Tomlinson's toe, the Gators are feeling better and playing better than they have all spring heading into the tournament. UF's luck hasn't been good, but its timing could not be better.
"We've got a couple guys (McCumber and Vogel) playing well at the right time," Alexander said. "My team is doing OK."
The Gators did not appear OK a month ago. They seemed in full fade mode after finishing a dismal 10th in the SEC Tournament.
But two weeks after that, in the NCAA Regional in Baton Rouge, the Gators regained their fall form (where they won one tournament and had two seconds) and finished second, easily qualifying for UF's 13th consecutive NCAA Championships.
After their strong performance in the regional, the Gators are starting to feel like they just might have a national championship run in them.
"How we played at regionals is who we are," Vogel said. "We're that good. We can play with (No. 2) Alabama. We've almost beaten them a few times this year. We know we can play with them.
"We know if we play our game, we can play with the best. We want to make it to match play. We feel confident. Once you get to match play (as one of the top eight teams following 54 holes of stroke play), anything can happen."
Vogel and McCumber seem to be coming on at the right time. Both finished the regional at 1-under par. Alexander said the play of the two seniors will be critical to UF's chances this week.
"They will be hugely important," Alexander said. "When you have two really good players like we do, those guys are going to have to play well."
McCumber seems like a sure thing.
"You can't say enough about Tyler McCumber," Alexander said. "This guy has been amazing. In his last five postseason events, he's got four top-three finishes. Think about that.
"I don't think there's been anybody at the University of Florida, or maybe anywhere, that's got a stretch of play quite that good."
McCumber said the Gators are now playing the way everyone thought they would coming out of a successful fall season.
"We were trying to build momentum (this spring) and we finally saw it come together at the regional," he said. "Everyone's hard work paid off. Everybody is pretty positive. That's how we're capable of playing, if not better. It was nice to finally see it.
"We had some injuries and incidents that set us back a little bit (in the spring). But we're moving in the right direction at the right time."
Alexander said the spring injuries and struggles will be forgotten if the Gators play well this week.
"Postseason is what it's all about," Alexander said. "We're going to be measured forever on what we do this week.
"Nobody remembers what happened at the Gator Invitational in 2004. But I can tell you what we finished in the NCAAs that year. This week is what it's all about."

I use :
- Code: Select all
import sys
- Code: Select all
import sys
(as I have my module in my current working directory)
But when I import it via :
- Code: Select all
import myMod
it just seems to run then entire code.( I also sometimes get auto completion listing the functions within idle with myMod. but this seems intermittent.)
Another thing I tried was just importing the functions with
- Code: Select all
from myMod import func1
Basically what I want to be able to do is have access to functions in another program by importing it. Is this possible? Does this only work with code written in a format that changes them from a program to an actual module. So it would not work to just import a previously written program that happens to have functions in it?
appreciate for any help with this

After sitting behind the pace set by Magical Band and
Hidinginplainsight, Teddy's Promise found room along the inside
approaching the stretch, quickly burst to the front and was geared down
at the finish by jockey Victor Espinoza. In winning by 4 ¼ lengths,
Teddy's Promise, who carried top weight of 124 pounds, completed the
five furlongs over Cushion Track in 56.80 seconds.
Scratched from the $125,000 B. Thoughtful Stakes April 27 due to a
minor bruise to her left front foot, the California bred mare certainly
looked in perfect health Sunday for owner-breeders Ted and Judy Nichols
and trainer Ron Ellis.
The win was the ninth in 23 starts for the 5-year-old daughter of
Salt Lake and the Capote mare Braids and Beads and increased her
bankroll to $720,991. Five of Teddy's Promise's victories have come in
nine races over the Betfair Hollywood Park main track.
In her first outing since finishing second behind Rumor in the Grade III Las Flores Stakes March 10 at Santa Anita, Teddy's Promise paid $2.80, $2.20 and $2.10 as the 2-5 choice.
"She's relaxing and getting a lot more consistent than last year,''
said Ellis, who is five wins away from 1,000 in his career. "She's
really matured. We're pretty excited about her.
"I don't know about the ($70,000) Desert Stormer (at six furlongs
June 16). Her main goal is the ($200,000, Grade II) A Gleam Handicap
(July 13). That's a 'Win and You're In' race for the Breeders' Cup
(Filly and Mare Sprint Nov. 1 at Santa Anita).''
The win by Teddy's Promise was the first of the Spring/Summer meet for Espinoza, who began the 49-day season 0-for-20.
Like Rafael Bejarano, Espinoza, who will turn 41 May 23, is closing
in on 3,000 career victories. Espinoza has 2,992 wins, four less than
Bejarano, who won Sunday's second with 9-10 favorite Streets of Heaven.
Through Sunday, Bejarano, who won the Spring/Summer title a year ago,
has a 12-9 lead over Tyler Baze and Joe Talamo in the jockey standings.
Returning to California after a sixth place finish in the Grade I
Madison April 13 at Keeneland, Shumoos rallied along the inside to gain
second, a head in front of Magical Band. Shumoos, the 6-1 second choice,
returned $4 and $3 while the show price on Magical Band was $2.80.
Bob Baffert, the defending champion, took over sole possession of
the top spot in the trainer's race. Baffert has eight victories, two
more than fellow Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer.
Baffert capped a five win weekend with a Sunday double – in tandem
with jockey Martin Garcia – as he captured the sixth with first time
starter Everton and the eighth with Patriot's Voyage. Trainer Steve
Knapp also had two wins, going back-to-back with Magic Mama in the
fourth and The Whole Deal in the fifth.

Bleeding Through
I have been following the work of Invisible Creature for quite some time now. They sit atop the music packaging/artwork game – stunning photography, pitch-perfect typography, and an endless array of vastly different styles. These guys know how to put together a finished product!
Bleeding Through's album, The Truth featured some of Creature's most eye-popping photos, so I was excited when I came across a blog where they revealed their processes for creating them.
