Building sculptures out of clay is a great activity, but there are many hassles that come along with regular polymer clay. Polymer clay must be dried and fired before it can be painted and set on display. Air-dry clay is a convenient alternative to polymer clay. It is extremely lightweight and air dries in an hour or less. Once the clay has dried, it is ready to be painted and put on display. No waiting or firing is required. Look for air-dry clay at your local craft store or find it online from an Internet-based art supply company.
Things You'll Need
- Air-dry clay
Gather a handful of air-dry clay from the container and knead it in your hands for a minute or two to warm it before rolling it into a ball. The correct size of the ball should be determined by the desired size for your dragon but a ball the size of a baseball should be sufficient.
Roll the ball lightly between your palms until the ball becomes slightly ovular in shape. This shape will become the body of your dragon. Lay the clay ball down on a flat surface and gently press downward to slightly flatten the bottom side. This will make it easier for you to use two hands to shape your model and it will also provide a flat surface to attach the legs.
Pinch together bits of clay along the top of the clay ball to form spikes running down the dragon's back. These spikes do not need to be pointed unless you want them to be and they can be as large or as small as you want. The smaller you make the spikes, the more of them you will be able to fit in.
Take another piece of air-dry clay from the container and knead it as you did with the first piece. This piece of clay should be slightly smaller than the first piece. After kneading the clay, break it into two pieces of equal size and place one of them back in the container to stay moist as you work with the other.
Flatten out the piece of clay by pressing it down onto a flat surface with your palm and fingers. Shape the clay into an oval shape then pinch together pieces from one half of the oval into points. This will form one of your dragon's wings. Remove the second piece of clay from the container and repeat the process.
Attach the wings to the dragon's back, one on either side of its spine. Position the wings so that the points face the same direction. Decide which end of the dragon's body you want to be its head and position the wings so the points face the opposite direction.
Remove another handful of clay from the container and break it into four even-sized pieces. Shape each piece into a ball then roll it between your palms, stretching it into a cylinder shape. Pinch one end of each cylinder to create a foot shape and attach each leg to the underside of the dragon's body by pressing the top of the leg into the body and smoothing out the clay around it.
Take another handful of clay from the container and divide it into two pieces of equal size. Shape each piece into a ball and roll them between your palms into cylinders making one slightly longer and thinner than the other.
Take the longer, thinner cylinder and lay it out on the table. Lay the flat of your fingers on the end of the clay shape and move them back and forth. As you roll the clay it should start to come to a point. Attach this shape to the opposite end of the dragon's body as the head to serve as its tail.
Take a small piece of clay from the container and roll it into an oval shape. Attach this piece to the end of the remaining clay cylinder and pinch two triangular ears from the top of the oval. This will form the head and neck of the dragon. Attach this shape to the dragon's body at the base of the neck and smooth the clay around it to secure it in place.
Tips & Warnings
- View pictures of dragons and dragon sculptures to use as inspiration for your own sculpture. Print off one or two pictures and keep them with you for reference as you mold your dragon.
- Because air-dry clay only takes an hour or less to dry, cover or enclose in a container any pieces of clay that you are not using. Once the clay has dried its shape cannot be changed.

Tim McGraw's 'Humble and Kind' Will Become a Book
Subscribe to Taste of Country on
Tim McGraw's song "Humble and Kind," written by Lori McKenna, is the inspiration for a new book.
The book, which is also titled Humble and Kind, will combine the song's lyrics with illustrations. It will include an introduction by McGraw and an epilogue by McKenna. Hatchette Books is set to release Humble and Kind on May 17.
McGraw decided to record the song as his oldest daughter was getting ready to leave for college. The song spoke to him as words he hoped to share with his daughter as she set off on her own.
"It is a rare moment when a song comes along that speaks equally to the world and the individual," McGraw says in a press release. "A song that transcends. A song that reaches into the heart of everyone who hears it. 'Humble and Kind' is one of those songs."
The song not only inspired McGraw, but the community. A movement was created with a website, StayHumbleandKind.com, where thousands of people visit and write about everyday acts of kindness.
"With the growing incivility around us, the message in Humble and Kind couldn't be more timely," Hachette Books publisher Mauro DiPreta says in a press release. "As a father and a publisher, I could not be more thrilled to help remind all of us of the value of humility and kindness. Tim's passion and commitment to this mission is simply inspiring."
McGraw will donate proceeds from the book to the Neighbor's Keeper Fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, whose mission is to promote and facilitate giving to charitable needs and opportunities.

fakenameSep 11, 2006I have a name for this: Critic Rock. Sketchy, unapproachable singing that that removes any hope of tunefuleness layered over aimless noodling and very little rhythmic interest. Less interesting than another insufferable crit-rock band: Yo La Tengo. This is an exemplar of Metacritic's one weakness: crit-rock will always score well.

UncutWhat's most frightening is that, mighty as Desperate Youth... is, their real stone killer is probably yet to come. [Jul 2004, p.100]
There are some amazing songs on Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, but overall it still feels like a transition[al] release of a group really trying to nail things.
Their initial EP documented a band that sounded ready to take on the world – but the follow up just shows that the journey may take longer than expected.

.In the buybull, god forces a man o sacrifice his daughter just because he made a promise
So it is okay for people to worship books that inspire hate as long as they were made thousands of years ago and are accepted by billions of people?
You believe in a God that admits that he created evil, that he is filled with jealousy, a sexist god who demands that women obey men, a God that condones slavery, a god that believes in murder, a god that killed people for working on Sabbath, a God that killed a man for spilling his seed, a god that killed people just because their king took a census.

Jephthah killed his daughter cause god told him to do it.
But he worshiped the same God as you do.
Jephthah's daughter was sacrificed. But should it matter whether or not they were sacrificed, either way they were murdered.
That is precisely why we don't need hate filled books like the buybull encouraging more people to kill.

They associate and disassociate with the Old Testament at their own convenience. So they have no issues with using the OT to bash gays, or to claim that it predicted Christ,but when it comes to the murderous god and ridiculous laws, all the suddenly they divorce themselves from it again.

I don't believe in God or Satan, No one made me become an atheist. What made me become an atheist was my own realization that
a)the stories of the buybull regarding creation were inconsistent with evolution.
b) the lack of proof of a god
c) the reality that the god of the buybull is a cruel autocratic tyrant.
D)the realization that the buybull has many inconsistencies
E) The fact that the buybull is plagiarized from many different sources.

Why are christians so down on Hitler and the Nazi party? Yes they killed a few million people but the god they worship killed, and demanded the death of, ten times the people Hitler killed so they must be on the same side.
Here is the fact. The christian cult, a small minority of the population, wants to separate themselves from reality. So lets give them Texas and they can do as they please in their schools with their children and we can live in the rest of the USA with equal rights for every one.
Of course we would accept their children when they escape from the asylum.

Moroccan Spice Rub (For Lamb & Other Meat)
Recipe by NELady
From The New Elegant But Easy Cookbook by Marian Burros and Lois Levine, c. 1998. If you want to add something a little extra to a rack or lamb or a leg of lamb, you can rub some of this on the meat, to your taste. You can also use on other types of meat.
Top Review by carlamoose
I didn't like it so much on the first bite, but by the time I finished with my lamb, I decided I somewhat liked it. Not sure if it's because I've never had Moroccan before or because I omited the coriander.

"Riding to me is how I find my zen. I can have the worst day in the world and [ride] and I don't think about anything else."
In this episode of "Paving the Way," Weston Scott catches up with Army Ranger Wil Willis to talk about what riding motorcycles means to them.
There's the version Navy recruits hear during basic training, and there's the actual version, otherwise known as a compromise between budget and bulge.
Most became stars of propaganda films, publicly living the life of megastars. When the cameras were gone, life became very different for them all.
The commander and executive officer of USS Fitzgerald have been permanently detached from the ship over a deadly collision with a container ship.

Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, the commander of the United States Seventh Fleet, has been relieved of his command by Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the Pacific Fleet. The firing comes within days of a collision between the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) and a civilian tanker east of the Straits of Malacca that left 10 sailors missing.
According to a brief Navy release, Aucoin was relieved by Swift due to "a loss of confidence in his ability to command." The release went on to say that Aucoin's planned successor, Rear Adm. Phil Sawyer, will assume command immediately. Sawyer was confirmed to the rank of vice admiral and appointed commander of the Seventh Fleet on June 5 of this year, according to the Congressional Record.
An earlier release by the Navy indicates the bodies of some of the missing sailors had been found.
Since May, there had been three collisions involving vessels in the Seventh Fleet. The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) collided with a South Korean fishing boat on May 9, with no casualties involved.
On June 17, the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) was rammed by a container ship off Japan. Seven sailors were killed, and a number of others, including the ship's captain, were injured in the incident. The captain, executive officer, and command master chief on that vessel were all relieved and will face non-judicial punishment.
According to an official biography, Vice Adm. Aucoin's Navy career included service in five aviation squadrons, command of the aircraft carrier USS Kittyhawk (CV 63), and over 150 combat missions. His awards include the Silver Star and Distinguished Flying Cross with Combat Distinguishing Device.
Rear Adm. Sawyer, who will replace Aucoin, is a career submariner whose service included command of USS La Jolla (SSN 701) and Submarine Squadron 15. Prior to taking command of the 7th Fleet, Sawyer served as deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet.

Indian and Chinese troops clashed in a melee high in the western Himalayas on Aug. 15, adding to simmering tensions along the two countries' shared border.
Chinese troops reportedly tried to enter Indian territory twice that day, according to an Indian defense official.
They were pushed back both times but threw stones at Indian troops during the exchange, which took place near Pangong Lake, a tourist attraction in the mountain region of Ladakh.
"There was a minor incident. There was some stone pelting from the Chinese side but the situation was quickly brought under control," the official told AFP.
The early-morning confrontation lasted about 30 minutes and was resolved after both sides conducted banner drills and retreated to their respective outposts.
Indian media outlet The Print obtained footage of the incident, which took place just yards from the shoreline. Both sides reported injuries.
#FirstOnThePrint Video of Indian & Chinese soldiers clashing at Pangong lake in Ladakh on August 15. @manupubby pic.twitter.com/qzZvVYFfjX
— ThePrint (@ThePrintIndia) August 19, 2017
The lake — of which India claims about one-third and China the rest — is more than 13,000 feet high on the Tibetan plateau and lies in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, at the eastern extent of China and India's 2,175-mile mountain border.
A police official in the state said that confrontations along the de facto border, called the Line of Actual Control, were relatively common.
"These things happen every summer, but this one was slightly prolonged and more serious but no weapons were used," a police source in the state capital, Srinagar, told AFP.
But the confrontation comes two months into a dispute between China and India near their shared border with Bhutan in the eastern Himalayas, and, the assessment added, the "use of force appears to be part of a considered design."
"Use of stones unprecedented and unusual. Appears to be deliberate attempt to provoke and heighten tension without use of lethal weapons," the assessment said. Steel bars and rifle butts were also used during the tussle.
On August 16, a previously scheduled border-personnel meeting was held between brigadier-rank officers from the Indian and Chinese armies. (Such meetings are usually held between colonel-rank officers).
But China's People's Liberation Army also declined an invitation to take part in ceremonial meetings on the border to mark India's independence day this year — the first time the joint meetings haven't been held since 2005, according to The Express. Another meeting usually held on the Chinese side of the border on August 1 was not held this year.
The contentious but nonviolent confrontation in the Doklam territory — known as Donglang in Chinese — near the two countries' border with Bhutan started in mid-June, when New Delhi dispatched troops to stop Chinese construction of a road in the area, which is claimed by both China and Bhutan.
India viewed the construction as a threat because it brought Chinese personnel close to the "chicken's neck" that connects India's northeast territory to the rest of the country.
An Indian official said New Delhi had no choice but to act, as Chinese activity had come too close for comfort. New Delhi has also said both sides should withdraw their forces before any proper negotiation.
Beijing — which has said India is massing troops and building roads in its territory east of Doklam — has said India has no role to play in the region and that Indian personnel illegally crossed into Chinese territory. It has repeatedly asked for their unilateral withdrawal.
Chinese state media has warned India of a fate worse than its decisive defeat during a month-long border war in 1962 in India's northeast Arunachal Pradesh state.
Chinese officials later admitted the war was launched to teach a lesson to India, which had granted asylum to the Dalai Lama and criticized China's occupation of Tibet.
The 1962 war was brief in duration, but the political concerns that sparked it remain.
The Indian intelligence assessment issued in the hours after the August 15 incident said the skirmish at Pangong Lake could be related to the standoff in the eastern Himalayas.
"Both nations recognize that there are big differences in perception about the Line of Actual Control, but these have been managed well and troops have quickly gone back to the respective positions," Ashok K. Kantha, former Indian ambassador to China, wrote for The Print, noting that calm along the border has endured despite past incidents.
"Ensuring that these old modalities hold is extremely important," he added. "The alternative is not good."

The M1 Abrams tank has a reputation for being very hard to kill.
According to Tom Clancy's book "Armored Cav," in one instance an Abrams got stuck in the mud during Operation Desert Storm and was attacked by three T-72s tanks.
The Iraqi rounds bounced off – including one fired from less than 500 yards away. After the crew evacuated, a platoon of Abrams tanks then fired a bunch of rounds with one detonating the on-board ammo.
The blow-out panels worked and it turned out that the only damage was that the gun's sights were just out of alignment. The tank was back in service with a new turret very quickly. The old turret went back to be studied.
An Abrams tank doesn't get much tougher to kill than that, right? You'd be wrong, especially when the Army equips it with an active defense system. According to a report by DefenseTech.org, three systems are in contention, with the Trophy Active Protection System by Rafael being the front-runner.
Army Maj. Gen. David Bassett, who is in charge of the Army's programs in the area of ground combat systems, said that he was hoping to make a quick decision on an active protection syste, for the Abrams.
"I'm not interested in developing, I'm interested in delivering," he said, noting that the Army is looking to upgrade the bulks of its inventory of armored vehicles. Only the M113 armored personnel carriers are being replaced by the BAE Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
The Trophy system works by using four radar antennas and fire-control radars to track incoming rockets, missiles, and rounds. When a threat is detected, one of two launchers on the sides of the Abrams would then fire a shotgun-type blast to kill the threat. Similar systems are on the Israeli Merkava 4 main battle tank and Russia's T-14 Armata main battle tank.
Some reports claim that Russia has developed a weapon capable of beating an active-defense system like Trophy. The RPG-30 reportedly used a smaller rocket in front of its main rocket to try to trigger the system.
But still, the Trophy can attack rockets and grenades at a distance, before the warhead even reaches the Abrams' skin.

Army Sgt. Joe Kieyoomia was captured by Japanese forces in 1942 as the Philippines fell to the Japanese war machine. Unfortunately for him, that was the start of 43 months of captivity that began with the infamous Bataan Death March and only ended with the surrender of Japan.
When he was captured by the Japanese, Kieyoomia – like tens of thousands of other Filipino and American POWs – was forced to walk some 60-70 miles in the sweltering heat, under constant enemy mistreatment. When he finally arrived at a prison camp, he watched as his captors forced them to dig their own graves and then shot them.
Kieyoomia was eventually sent to the Japanese mainland, because of his looks and his name. The enemy assumed he was Japanese American, but unfortunately for Kieyoomia in this instance, he was a Navajo. When he arrived on the mainland, he was beaten and tortured daily.
"They didn't believe me," he told The Deseret News when he was 72 years old. "The only thing they understood about Americans was black and white. I guess they didn't know about Indians."
But Kieyoomia wasn't a code talker. He was deployed to the Philippines with New Mexico's 200th Coast Artillery. When the Japanese needed to know what the Najavo code was, they came to Kieyoomia – but he didn't know the code. He didn't even know about the existence of the code.
The Japanese then had him listen to radio broadcasts – he was surprised to hear his native language. The broadcasts made no sense. His jailers didn't believe that he couldn't understand the messages and he was forced to stand naked in six inches of snow on a parade ground in below freezing temperatures.
Kieyoomia's feet froze to the ground. When he was forced back inside, his skin stuck to the ground and he left a bloody trail on the parade ground. He was tortured for months on end.
"I salute the code talkers," he said in the interview with Deseret News. "And even if I knew about their code, I wouldn't tell the Japanese."
The Japanese came to Kieyoomia with written words, transliterated into English. The Japanese tortured him to learn the Navajo code, but it was very different from mere words from the language. Kieyoomia couldn't tell them if he wanted to it was gibberish, and it was designed to sound that way, even if someone spoke the language.
The Navajo soldier tried to end his own life with a hunger strike, but that only earned him more beatings from his Japanese captors.
His troubles were only ended by the second atomic bomb dropped on Japan. On Aug. 9, 1945 "Fat Man" detonated over the city, killing 40-75,000 people instantly.
Kieyoomia miraculously survived the nuclear blast because of the way he was sitting next to the concrete wall in his cell. He was abandoned for three days before a Japanese officer freed him.
After the war, Sgt. Joe Kieyoomia returned to the Navajo nation, recovered from his wounds, and lived to age 77. He died in 1997.

Kon'nichiwa, TACO RICE.
Meals Ready To Eat explored the advent of one of Japan's most popular street foods when host August Dannehl traveled to Okinawa in search of taco rice, a true food fusion OG.
If you were to suggest that spiced taco meat dressed in shredded lettuce, cheese, and tomato, would seem a bastard topping to foist upon sushi rice, Japan's most sacred and traditional foodstuff, well, in Okinawa at least, you'd find yourself on the receiving end of a lesson in local history.
Taco Rice is the result of two post-WWII cultures: that of the Japanese and the American troops stationed in Okinawa, finding a way to transcend their differences through the combination of comforting foods.
An influx of American delicacies, most notably Spam, flooded the island following the cessation of hostilities and led to a heyday of culinary cross-pollination. Spam is still featured in many now-traditional Okinawan dishes, but taco rice is, for modern Okinawans and American military personnel, the belle of the Mash-up Ball.
Watch as Dannehl drills deeper than any food explorer in history, down through the multi-cultural strata of…TACO RICE, in the video embedded at the top.

Her drive to serve fresh, delicious, inventive, bar-raising gourmet meals to the crew members of her Coast Guard Cutter, Cochito, powers that vessel as surely as the twin diesels in its engine room. As it conducts long patrols of U.S. coastal waters, searching, rescuing and advancing the mission of the Department of Homeland Security, Gunn's role in maintaining operational morale cannot be overstated.
Like Meals Ready to Eat host August Dannehl learned when he joined the Cochito on patrol, as far as ship's cooks go, FS2 Gunn is in a class of her own.
She's not a recipe follower so much as a recipe pioneer. She gathers her ingredients at local markets and farm stands. She joyfully invents dishes working in a galley the size of a closet. She defines the rhythm of the Cochito's days at sea by the anticipation and delivery of each of her remarkable meals.
"There are times during this job, during a search and rescue case off shore, we don't sleep, it's too rough to eat, it's almost unbearable. And coming back into calmer waters, looking forward to that amazing home cooked meal, that just brings everybody together," said Master Chief Petty Officer Stephen Atchley, Coast Guard Cutter Cochito.
We could wax on about the culinary virtuosity of FS2 Gunn, but instead, we'll hit you with some optics as an appetizer.

But Meals Ready To Eat doesn't profile normal.
In South Philadelphia, there's a fire station where things go down a bit differently. That's because the members of Philly's Fire Engine 60, Ladder 19 are lucky enough to count a gourmet chef among their ranks. In fact, he outranks most of them. He's Lieutenant Bill Joerger, he's a former Marine and this kitchen is his by right of mastery.
It is a little weird for a ranking officer to spend hours rustling the chow. It's a little strange that he goes to such lengths to source ingredients for his culinary art. It's a bit outlandish when those meals are complex enough to necessitate a demo plate.
But Bill Joerger doesn't care about any of that. When not actively saving lives, he cares about honing his cooking skills, eating well, and creating — in the midst of a chaotic work environment — some small sacred space where everyone can relax and just be people together.
"You have the brotherhood in the Marine Corps, and it's the same as being in the firehouse…it's some satisfaction for me to know that I'm producing a good meal for these guys after the things that we deal with on a daily basis."
Meals Ready to Eat host August Dannehl spent a day with Joerger at the firehouse, experiencing the often violent stop-and-start nature of a firefighter's day and, in the down moments, sous-cheffing for the Lieutenant. The story of how Joerger found his way from the Marine Corps to a cookbook and then to the firehouse kitchen is a lesson in utilizing one's passion to impose some order in the midst of life's disarray.

But when they leave the service, does the drive to live by military values diminish? Veterans across the country will assure you, it does not. That's why the transition back to civilian life is such a hot topic. Finding a new outlet for warrior values is a bear that every veteran has to wrestle and tame.
So what if there was a school whose founding mission was to teach returning veterans the skills necessary to put those values to work? As it turns out, that school exists. It's the Culinary Institute of America and it was founded to teach returning WWII vets the fighting arts of gourmet cooking.
Meals Ready To Eat host August Dannehl visited Hyde Park, NY, to get a first hand taste of daily operations at CIA.
What he found there was an atmosphere of rigor, discipline, and sky high expectations — in other words, a culinary boot camp. And why not? A busy kitchen is its own kind of battlefield and cooks are the troops who serve there. At CIA, students, including notable veterans, learn what it takes to become a new generation of American chefs.

"When was the last time you actually met the animal you ate for dinner?"
Jon Darling, a former Army Ranger and scion of a long line of farmers and restaurateurs, now runs one of the most humane livestock farms in South Carolina, where he strives to be a shepherd to the sheep he raises and to the people who eat them.
When Meals Ready To Eat host August Dannehl visited Darling's farm, he found himself in a world where things are done with purpose and uncommon care.
Darling raises his sheep to live free and happy lives, and professes to feeling no fundamental conflict when it comes time for him to bring one of those lives to an end.
Unlike factory farming operations, which treat animals as commodities and people as thoughtless consumers, farms like Darling's are working to reconnect people to an awareness of the sacrifice that keeps us humans at the top of the food chain. Through quiet leadership and outreach in the form of regular community dinners that center around the slaughter, preparation, and enjoyment of one of his lambs, Darling is reawakening the people he serves to the circle of life on Planet Earth.
Here's hoping that sharing his story and life's work with Dannehl and Meals Ready to Eat will help spread the good word far and wide.
See what it means to Dannehl to give one sheep a pedicure and then enjoy its sister for dinner, in the video embedded at the top.

In the military, it's what's for dinner.
And for the military chef, the job is a lot more than just filling bellies with fighting fuel.
Cooking for the Armed Forces concerns the Art of Building Morale. And if an army marches on its' stomach, then it follows that an Army chef operating at the highest level — who's able to create culinary magic under the demands of budget, field deployment, and operational extremity — can have a huge individual impact on the health of the mission.
That holds true for every branch, in every situation, from boot camp to battlefield.
Searching for inspired military cooking and meeting the chefs responsible is the central mission of Go90's series Meals Ready To Eat. And host August Dannehl, a Navy veteran and chef, has a nose for this type of story. For his first foray, he paid a visit to Fort Lee, Virginia to reconnoiter some of the U.S. Armed Forces' top chefs, who'd gathered there for the annual Military Culinary Arts Competition and Training Event.
Modeled after the World Culinary Olympics and sanctioned by the American Culinary Federation, the 40 year old event is a bubbling cauldron of ideas, inspiration, and good old-fashioned inter-branch rivalry. But at its heart, the event, like Dannehl's series, seeks to champion the importance of culinary artistry to the overall operational effectiveness of the military.
Watch as Dannehl takes a tour through the cutting edge of culinary operational readiness, in the video embedded at the top.

A massive ocean search for five soldiers who disappeared after a nighttime helicopter crash last week ended August 21 after no signs of life were spotted among the debris.
Crews from the Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and local agencies in Hawaii searched around the clock as strong currents moved the wreckage into a deep-water search area that spanned 72,000 nautical miles (115,873 kilometers).
"Our five soldiers who represent the best and the brightest of America have not been found," said Maj. Gen. Christopher Cavoli, commander of the 25th Infantry Division.
The Army identified the missing soldiers as 1st Lt. Kathryn M. Bailey, 26, of Hope Mills, North Carolina; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brian M. Woeber, 41, of Decatur, Alabama; Chief Warrant Officer 2 Stephen T. Cantrell, 32, of Wichita Falls, Texas; Staff Sgt.Abigail R. Milam, 33, of Jenkins, Kentucky; and Sgt. Michael L. Nelson, 30, of Antioch, Tennessee.
Army and Coast Guard officials on August 21 notified the families of the missing soldiers that they were ending the search and rescue operation, Cavoli said.
"It is a very, very difficult decision, and it weighs heavily, particularly on the hearts of the Coast Guard," said Rear Adm. Vincent B. Atkins, commander of the US Coast Guard's 14th District.
"We used all of our training and professionalism in this very dynamic environment to mount the best response possible," Atkins added.
There has been no determination yet of the crash's cause, Cavoli said after the search was suspended.
Two Black Hawk helicopter crews were conducting training off the western tip of Oahu the night of August 15 when one aircrew lost contact with the crew whose helicopter went missing.
When the pilot on the lead helicopter realized the other aircraft was missing, he immediately turned his helicopter around and began to search, Cavoli said. But he later determined he didn't have the equipment he needed to launch a professional search so he alerted the Coast Guard, Cavoli said.
A multi-agency team searched more than 72,000 nautical miles (115,873 kilometers) over the last week but saw no signs of life or of the crew that went missing. They found what appeared to be pieces of helicopter fuselage and a helmet in a debris field that expanded with strong currents to remote, deep areas of the ocean.
The Navy brought in remotely operated underwater vehicles and sonar to help in the search and get a better picture of the ocean floor, which drops quickly off the coast of Oahu and is over 1,000 feet (305 meters) deep in parts of the search area.
During the search, the Army and Coast Guard held joint briefings with family members every six hours to keep them informed, Cavoli said.
The fact that parts of the fuselage were found indicated the helicopter's impact with the ocean was substantial, said Mario Vittone, a retired Coast Guardsman and expert on sea survival.
"There's not a big record of people surviving impacts with the water when the impact is so significant that the fuselage is torn apart," he said.
People can last about three days without water as long as they are not working very hard, but in the ocean it is difficult to get rest while trying to survive, Vittone said.
All five crew members on board had life vests, air bottles for underwater breathing, and radios with built-in GPS systems, the Army has said.
"All these things lead you to believe they didn't leave the aircraft, because if they could get out of the aircraft and inflate their floatation devices, then why would they not then turn on their beacons?" Vittone said.

Cannabis advocates are criticizing the Department of Veterans Affairs for wasting time and resources on recently published research that produced inconclusive results on the effects of medical marijuana in treating pain and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I find the funds spent on regurgitating these studies to be worthless," said Sean Kiernan, a veteran and advocate for the Weed for Warriors project.
VA researchers last week published two studies that reviewed previous analyses and evaluations of the effects of marijuana on treating chronic pain and PTSD. The meta-analysis was led by researchers at the VA Portland Health Care System.
Mr. Kiernan, a combat veteran who served in Central America in the 1980s and '90s, has advocated for access to medical marijuana for veterans since 2013. Today, he works with Arizona-based physician Dr. Suzanne Sisley, who is enrolling veterans in a clinical trial evaluating cannabis in treating PTSD.
He accuses the VA of frustrating Dr. Sisley's efforts to recruit veterans for her trial.
"Couple that with the active blockade the VA has undertaken with [Dr. Sisley's] study and one is left scratching one's head on what is really going on. It doesn't make sense unless the screams for research are intended to be words only," he said. "They say, 'We don't have research,' and then they're blocking the rigorous research."
Dr. Sisley said the published article was "not helpful."
"[The VA researchers are] just retreading all the same material. There's been so many meta-analyses. The fact that government money was wasted, again…" she said, her voice trailing off.
"These aren't controlled trials, they're all observational studies fraught with tons of human bias," Dr. Sisley said of the research.
The VA researchers reached the same conclusion, writing that the available studies were insufficient to make recommendations on the medical benefits of marijuana. The researchers were barred from talking with the media to discuss their results.
Media inquiries were directed to a previous statement made by Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin during a White House press conference in May. At that time, he tread lightly on endorsing medical marijuana because of its status as an illegal substance under federal law.
"My opinion is, is that some of the states that have put in appropriate controls, there may be some evidence that this is beginning to be helpful," Mr. Shulkin said. "And we're interested in looking at that and learning from that. But until the time that federal law changes, we are not able to be able to prescribe medical marijuana for conditions that may be helpful."
The National Institutes of Health lists at least 18 completed clinical trials with results that analyze the effects of cannabis on pain. For cannabis and PTSD, Dr. Sisley's is one of about 10 studies underway, but hers is the only study evaluating military veterans and specifically those with chronic and treatment-resistant PTSD.
"It's the most rigorous kind of science you can do — triple blind, everybody's blinded in the study. Vets don't know what they're getting, I don't know what anybody's on, the independent raters don't know what anybody is getting, so that way we eliminate any chance of human bias," she said.
Completion of the phase two trial and positive results will set researchers on the path of phase three — replicating the findings in a larger test pool. But that's years down the road and Dr. Sisley first is concerned with what the science will show in this study.
"I don't know what this data will show. As much as I believe, there are certain studies that suggest cannabis could be helpful, we know we're on the right track with this," she said. "Until there's a controlled trial, you can't make any definitive conclusions."
About 10 percent to 11 percent of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have PTSD, with similar numbers of Vietnam-era veterans, according to the VA. At least 20 veterans kill themselves every day.
Advocates for marijuana say bureaucratic and legal barriers hinder access for a substance that could have immeasurable benefits for this population.

Up above is a piece of bedding that is seriously unique and definitely my favorite. The art on this wonderful bedding really makes those colorful butterflies stand out and actually look 3D, which is seriously cool and not something you'll find elsewhere. Each set comes with everything you need: the amazing duvet cover, a flat sheet and two matching pillow shams.

If you are shopping for a younger butterfly enthusiast, then why not consider one of the two butterfly themed bedding sets made by Sweet Jojo Designs above? Both come with the comforter and two pillow shams, and there is a whole range of matching bedroom decor accessories that you can buy separately to go with each. If you can see it on the picture, you can buy it!

Hi Everyone, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I thought I would try here. I collected seeds from my red pumpkin and about 8 varieties of small ornamental squash/gourds. I was recently told two things that concerned me. First, that washing them increases the chance of killing them, as it washes away some protective covering. Second, that I wouldn't recognize what grew from them, and the chances of me getting more red pumpkins and the different squash were very small, but the chances of me getting an orange/red/green splotchy thing were high. Can someone give me a reality check on this?
what will seedlings look like? gourds or squash?

VANCOUVER—A handful of resignations Premier Christy Clark says she's been anticipating will likely become official later today.
Government sources have told The Canadian Press that Education Minister George Abbott, Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil and John Les, parliamentary secretary to the premier, will announce they won't seek re-election in the May provincial election.
The three resignations would come less than 24 hours after former finance minister Kevin Falcon stepped down from cabinet and said he won't be running in the spring.
Clark says resignations should not be viewed as the disintegration of her government.
Rather, the premier says they are opportunities for the Liberals to rebuild their free-enterprise coalition and bring fresh eyes to the government.
Abbott and McNeil have been signalling for months they were pondering their political futures, but the pending departure of Les comes as a surprise.

The Supreme Court has ordered the eviction of thousands of illegal squatters on railway property in and around Rabindra Sarobar, in south Calcutta. A division bench of Justices N. Santosh Hegde and B.P. Singh, in a judgment dated April 17, said the Calcutta High Courts earlier order directing the state and the Central governments to provide the squatters with sanitation facilities was rendered infructous in view of the high courts subsequent order on eviction of the squatters.
The apex court said that the high court order of eviction had superseded its earlier order of providing the squatters with further facilities of sanitation and other benefits and that the high court now should see to it that its order of eviction was implemented.
We make it clear that the high court should now take such steps as is necessary to see that the orders of eviction passed by the competent authorities, and also the directions given by it are given effect to at the earliest, the judges said in their five-page judgment.
Calcutta High Courts ouster order was prompted by a public interest litigation filed by the Howrah Ganatantrik Nagarik Samity, complaining that the residents of the unauthorised structures along the rail tracks were polluting the Dhakuria Lakes.
In an order dated June 18, 1999, the high court directed that sanitation and other amenities be provided to the squatters and that the Calcutta Municipal Corporation shall see to it that no further infiltration takes place.
The railways and the state government were asked to shoulder the costs. Against this order, the Union of India, through Eastern Railway, Calcutta, moved the Supreme Court.
Chanchal Ganguly, counsel for CESC, said the power utility would now withdraw all its connections, provided the apex courts verdict is implemented. The CESC was accused of providing the shanty-dwellers with permanent power connections. But the connections were given only after the squatters had furnished proper documents, like ration and election cards, Ganguly said.
According to the CESC counsel, the question of rehabilitation of the squatters by the government was being kept alive by the apex court, which would adjudicate upon their claim to right to life, guaranteed under Article 21, as an inalienable fundamental right.
During the earlier hearing, the apex court had made it clear that the question of rehabilitation was different from that of the eviction of the squatters, which was required in order to prevent environmental degradation of the Rabindra Sarobar Lakes.
Now that the question of eviction has been settled by the apex court against the unauthorised residents, the issue of their rehabilitation and their right to life would be taken up separately.
The issue of removing the unauthorised structures along the rail tracks has set the stage for some high-voltage political action, with both the Opposition and a section of the ruling Left Front pitching in their support for the shanty-dwellers with rallies and demonstrations.

For TV...I'm off the grid and don't keep well to weekly TV monitoring schedules...but I love any SNL skit with, or a parody of, Christopher Walken (we all need more cow bell), The Walking Dead, Mad Men, Family Guy, etc.
As for music, simply put, eclectic, with roots in metal, rock, progressive/tribal house, grunge, punk (oy!), industrial, pop, industrial pop :-D, techno, eurotrash but lean toward trance when running. I think that EVERY human being should have their ow n personal soundtrack or theme music.
Too many books to list, fiction and non, and have been reading up on the coming zombie apocalypse and how to survive but studied Shakespeare at the Arden Theater and can blurt out a monologue or sonnet when the right chain is yanked...once more unto the breach and all of that. I also enjoy graphic novels and own all of the essentials. At one point I wanted to write & draw graphic novels but my life-arc took a different path. I think my childhood mimicked Calvin and Hobbes.
Regarding food, I'll try almost anything with the right combination of protein, carbohydrates & fat yet avoid anything "fast" with extreme prejudice.

"Speaking up about the developments in the Philippines" is very, very, very different from ordering your dogs to attack Duterte supporters, call Sandro Marcos stupid, and destabilize the country by mobilizing institutions like the Church and school.
You and your co conspirators are arrogant, but your arrogance no longer fits today's narrative, where the common man has found his voice and his place in this world.
You have no right to speak for the struggling OFWs--that waiter in the Caribbean cruise ship--because if you were not so out of touch with reality, you would realize and understand that most OFWs want the change that you so abhor. Also, most OFWs picked Bong bong Marcos, not that I'm happy about it, but that's the truth.
Wag din ibida ang Lewis College because it's not charity, it's business. Maybe a small one by your standards, but it's still business. Your latest ad in your website shows that you only offer 100 percent scholarship to Grade 10 1st honors students. You said 25 percent of your students are scholars. Im sure you can bring that figure much higher without making a dent on your fortune. Eh kung ilibre mo lahat mas mura pa rin kesa sa destabilization efforts mo. Less wealthy Filipinos have bigger foundations and have helped more, I bet.
Keep your hands off our government. A bunch of well fed, wealthy, out of touch seniors wining and dining and plotting in New York because they believe they know best is the last thing this country needs.
You love the Philippines as you say you do? Then please get out of our government's affairs, share your money with the poor, and support the projects of this government that you believe in.
Pagawa kayo ng drug rehab center, hire reformed drug addicts and set up a livelihood program for them, give their wives livelihood, set up a scholarship fund for the children of dead policemen who were killed in the line of duty, try nyo lang po. That's being a partner of this government, and then you deserve the right to be called a real partner for change.
By: Krizette Laureta Chu
Well-known writer and Duterte supporter Krizette Chu wrote this open letter after Filipino-American Loida Nicolas Lewis released her statement regarding #LeniLeaks which has been exposed over the weekend.
Statement from Loida Nicolas Lewis regarding #LeniLeaks
"At least one out of every eight Filipinos lives overseas. Our remittances are a major boost for the Philippine economy. Just because we are Overseas Filipinos (OF) does not mean that we have lost our right to be involved in or speak out on developments in our home country.
Like myself, many of us are dual citizens and therefore retain our full rights as Filipinos. We have a right, even a duty, to be involved in our homeland and participate as much as we can in its politics.
Love of country is not limited to those who reside in the Philippines. A waiter on a cruise ship in the Carribean, an accountant working with a New York City firm, a nurse carrying for patients in the suburbs of London - we are all a part of the greater Philippine nation. Many of us had to leave our country to earn a living for ourserlves and our families back home, but we did not leave behind our rights as Filipinos. Nor did we leave behind our love for our fellow countrymen.
As for me, I founded The Lewis Collge in my hometown of Sorsogon, which offers low and affordable tuition for college in the Bicol Region, and about 25% of those in College are on scholarship.
It is in that spirit of caring and brotherhood that we speak out on developments in the Philippines. We will continue to do so because if we did not, we would be untrue to who we are: Filipinos, like you."

NSF grant awarded to IUPUI undergraduate data science research program
Release Date:
Mar 22 2017
Indianapolis – IUPUI associate professors, George Mohler, Ph.D., and Mohammad Al Hasan, Ph.D., have been awarded a National Science Foundation grant of $287,377 to support their Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at IUPUI. Eight undergraduate students from across the United States will have the opportunity to conduct paid research on the data science of human activity. The students will spend ten weeks during the summer working with IUPUI faculty on projects related to predictive modeling and estimation of risk with applications to crime, conflict, political instability and daily routine activity. The students will also attend a data science boot camp as part of the program that will provide training in the foundations of data science (statistics, machine learning, and software development).
Data science is a rapidly growing field due to increases in the volume and variety of data being generated. Graduates with skill sets at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, computing, data analysis, and data modeling are in high demand, both in industry and academia. The REU site will increase undergraduate student awareness, preparation, and interest in pursuing graduate degrees in STEM fields where data science is becoming a larger focus. Students choosing to pursue a career in industry upon graduation will also be better prepared to meet the data challenges of the increasing number of companies where data science is a high priority.
The three REU projects address new challenges in the data science of risk and human activity. The first area of research will focus on learning to rank problems for space-time crime prediction. Machine learning models for ranking crime hotspots according to risk will be developed that will be tailored to ranking based loss functions that arise in criminology. The second project will focus on classifying types of activity from mobile sensor time series. The students will compare existing techniques to deep learning algorithms employing architectures developed specifically for 3D data from the accelerometer and gyroscope. The third area of research will focus on point process models of heterogeneous grievance data. In particular, students will develop spatio-temporal models for conflict data in Sub-Saharan Africa coupled with geolocated, relevant tweets from the same time period. Applications are currently being accepted for this program that begins June 5. Visit https://www.datareu.com/ for more information.

Discussion in 'Android Lounge' started by VerizonLover, Aug 27, 2010.
Hi! I'm new here, and have a question: Why is it that wifi eats more battery than 3g?
Hi Verizon Lover...hmmm well I want to know what phone you have and is this something you're experiencing? I'm not sure why your WIFI would use more battery than 3G since from what I've heard, WIFI uses less battery.
It's just the technology.
Without going in too much details:
WiFi uses more battery than 3G when actively receiving/sending data.
3G uses more battery than WiFi when idle.
But you should remember your wifi will (probbably) be faster so even though it uses more power it takes (much) less time to transfer the same data so (usually) leads to less power consumed overall.
Of course if you have a HTC desire and your wireless is claiming to take up around 30% of your battery use then I've noticed that on my girlfriends too. I think it might be a mistake because I have a nexus (which uses the same radio chip) and even though my wireless is on constantly it only takes up about 2% of my battery use.

Found! The Ed Gein dudes had these sitting around in the literal lost maze warehouse of leftover merch they have (imagine the end scene of "Raiders Of the Lost Ark") and forked them over. And to think, I thought these were gone for good!
This issue features a cover from Chris Mascotti (Inkling, Minor Times) and plenty of content like interviews with Bloodlet, Ted Leo, Milemarker, Suicide Note, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Lack, Most Precious Blood; and featuring articles on the W.E.F., dumpstering, and conspiracy theories... keep in mind, this came out in 2002 I think. It might seem, ya know, dated. Get it and feel the nostalgia.

Posted January 9, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — The steady climb toward 70-degree weather begins in earnest Wednesday as warm air begins pushing its way into central and eastern North Carolina from the Gulf of Mexico, WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.
Seventies won't arrive until Saturday and Sunday, but temperatures climbed into the mid-60s at lunchtime Wednesday, 10 to 15 degrees above normal for January.
"No frost on the windows this morning. That is one feature of this warm-up, we will see some warmer overnight temperatures to go along with our warm daytime highs," Gardner said.
Sunshine will mix with clouds during the day, and by Thursday much of the area will see widespread and dense cloud cover.
"The clouds will keep us cooler Thursday and Friday, and we could see some sprinkles late in the day Friday as a warm front moves up from the south and west," Gardner said.
The warm air will arrive quickly behind the front, as overnight lows Friday will linger in the mid-50s.
Partly cloudy skies will return Saturday as highs climb to near 70 degrees. On Sunday, some areas could see record highs as afternoon temperatures climb into the mid-70s.
"It's going to feel almost hot for January," Gardner said.
The record at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on Jan. 12 was set in 2005, when the high reached 74 degrees.
January 2005 was a record-setting month for warm temperatures, as the mercury topped 70 degrees 10 times. Since 2002, there have only been 25 days in January where the temperatures have climbed into the 70s at RDU. The last of those came in 2008.
Temperatures will begin to fall slowly early next week, dipping back into the 60s by Tuesday.

Where's the SNOW ?!?!
I`m looking forward to a nice warm weekend. Time to fire up the wood smoker and cook some pork shoulders and ribs. Nothing like some pulled BBQ and friends on a nice warm Jan weekend.
"Uh oh, here we go with the "Al Gore global worming and we are gonna burn up and I ain't giving up my suv for nothing" crowd!
Uh, JB, those are two different crowds. Thanks for the heads-up, though -- you're so clever!
Uh oh, here we go with the "Al Gore global worming and we are gonna burn up and I ain't giving up my suv for nothing" crowd!
I want some winter-SNOW-palease!!!
No global warming around here!
Went outside for lunch today and it feels like spring. To think, it will be warmer by this weekend .... can't wait. If its going to be this nice on the weekend I may have to DVR that Duke-NC State game, It'll be hard sitting indoors on a beautiful saturday afternoon.
I hope we can all agree this is good news!
