text: Students from the Art 272: Digital Illustration class designed contemporary style Christmas cards to raise money for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. Each card's illustration was created on the computer using Adobe Illustrator, and a finishing element was added by hand, making each card unique. Cards were wrapped and sold individually. With the generous support of the faculty, staff and students, $365 was raised for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County with the Christmas Card Project fundraiser.

Alan Pardew's side may have one eye on their Europa League quarter-final, while the champions are aiming to keep the pressure on Manchester United
Zabaleta, K Toure, Kompany, Clichy
Y Toure, Barry
Silva, Tevez, Milner
Debuchy, Yanga-Mbiwa, Taylor, Santon
Tiote, Gutierrez
Marveaux, Sissoko, Gouffran
Roberto Mancini has a host of players returning from injury and is expected to make several changes from the 2-0 defeat at Everton on March 16.
Vincent Kompany is set for a return to the starting line-up after playing for Belgium during the international break, while Yaya Toure should return after illness. Sergio Aguero is also likely to make his comeback.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, have a trip to Benfica next Thursday and Alan Pardew could rest some key players, although Hatem Ben Arfa (hamstring), Fabricio Coloccini (back) and Tim Krul (ankle) are out, while Yohan Cabaye (groin) is still a doubt.
- A win for Manchester City will make it their seventh consecutive Premier League victory over Alan Pardew's men.
- City have beaten Newcastle 14 times in the Premier League; only against Aston Villa (18 times) have they won more.
- Yaya Toure (pictured right) has scored more league goals (three) against Newcastle than against any other Premier League side.
- City have dropped seven points in their last seven league games at the Etihad Stadium, having only dropped six in the previous 36.
- With 31, the Magpies have used more players in the top flight than any other side.
- Newcastle have picked up just eight points on their travels this season; only Reading (five) have registered fewer.
- Pardew's men are the worst victims of late goals, having conceding 15 in the last 15 minutes of league matches; more than any other side.
- The Magpies' last – and only – win in the city of Manchester came against City at Maine Road in September 2000.

What Is the High-Performance HMI?
Operators Learn to Live With Design Flaws and Often Take the Easy Way Out and Live With the Less-Than-Perfect Systems They Grew Up With
The industry today is in a state of confusion regarding basic process control systems' (BPCSs) human-machine interfaces (HMIs). The industry has about 40 years experience with man- or human-machine Interfaces in one form or another. With the evolution of the BPCS, the HMI has evolved over a period of 50 years and has transitioned from physical lights, switches and annunciator panels with analog gauges and trend displays to electronic simulations and finally to computer interfaces.
But, the computer interfaces were designed with little knowledge or science added into the design, and many issues still remain because of this. To help understand the issues and the proposed solutions, we need to understand the current state of the industry. What specific problems we are trying to eliminate?
A quick survey of the current state of the HMI design using a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis reveals that the industry has fully adapted to the current state, and, in spite of known problems and limitations, is reluctant to change. This is mainly because change requires commitment to learn a new system, which involves design, implementation, testing, documentation and training.
Process control operators learn to live with design flaws, and often take the easy way out and continue to live with the less than perfect systems they grew up with. The strength of the existing system is that it evolved from panels to electronics to a first-generation faceplate equivalent and finally to a crude, graphical interface based on plant design.
The HMI many people have been using evolved from a hard panel to group faceplate displays and then to P&ID graphics-integrating faceplates. This has been an easy solution, first taking the controllers from the panel and placing them into groups on a computer display, and then using the faceplate live values within a P&ID graphic.
The black backgrounds and bright, fully saturated colors were not designed. They were more a symptom of the technology, one that the vendors did not mind because bright, fully saturated colors are aestheticly pleasing to the eye, even though they may be 180° from the best practices learned from the science of using color. The vendors still sell their systems based on this premise, rather than on the science of using color correctly.
This statement can be proved by looking at automation vendors' websites and viewing the examples they use to promote their systems. Even though they may have policies supporting the new ASM Consortium-promoted graphics, grey-scale does not sell systems.
As we examine the weakness or problems that are created by this solution, we can read of multiple accident/incident reports that identify the HMI as a contributor to these incidents. We also discover that operators struggle with tracking information or getting overloaded with information because their graphics are not task-based, and information is scattered by the P&ID design. The old groups were faster, as they were assembled based on tasks.
Problems with the Old Way
We see navigation issues caused by lack of hierarchy, in which everything is designed at the same level with no overview. We also see inconsistencies in design because no structure was anticipated by the design. We also see operators trying to get around this issue by requesting more screens. I have actually seen a single operator with more than 24 screens, even though the new standards and guidelines recommend only four process control screens per operator based on short term memory (STM) issues and the limitations on the operator's ability to track more screens.
In additon, ergonomic design principles also help us understand that main screens should be within a 30° and 60° design.
These kinds of graphics have basic readability issues during "normal operations," let alone when data is moving fast during both abnormal operating conditions (AOCs) and emergency operations. These have been categorized as issues with clarity, consistency, too much variety, overload, visual noise and luminance contrast.
Many operators complain of eye-strain because of high-contrast color usage and the use of >3:1 contrast ratio for colors, such as extremes of brightness from yellow-on-black backgrounds.

Charlene (Sponseller) Dixson
Researched family's genealogies
Charlene (Sponseller) Dixson, 87, died Jan. 27, 2013 in Cuyahoga Falls.
She was born in Alliance on Sept. 24, 1925 and graduated from Alliance High School in June 1943 after which she became a "Rosie the Riveter" to aid in America's war effort. She spent 40 years deeply researching her and her husband's genealogies. She discovered one of her ancestors' 1700s Bible containing handwritten family records of two generations, the eldest a Revolutionary War veteran, and had the documentation published. She presented completed family group sheets to many libraries where further researchers might find them, taking each family back to their immigration to America, many families prior to the American Revolution.
She was a Brownie Scout leader when her daughters were of the proper age and her memberships through the years included Chapters in the Daughters of the American Revolution in Martinez, Calif.; Alliance and Cuyahoga Falls, with nine ancestors proven to have aided in the cause of liberty. She also was involved with the Newcomers Clubs in Lorain, Boardman and Plymouth, Mich.; Mothers of Twins Club, Cuyahoga Falls (mid and late 1950s); Women's Clubs in Alliance, Downers Grove, Ill. and Cuyahoga Falls.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Thelma (Nogle) Sponseller; and her husband of 52 years, Wilbur C. Dixson Jr., who died in 2002. She is survived by her twin daughters, Susan Lee (Mrs. Brian Borrell) and Sandra Dixson; granddaughter, Kathleen Anne Borrell; brother ,Harold P. Sponseller (Barbara); and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Visitation was at the Redmon Funeral Home in Stow. Cremation has taken place; a private memorial service and burial at Fairmount Memorial Park was scheduled to take place at a later date. Memorials may be donated to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, P.O. Box 5018, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5018.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [KE] May 31, 2004 TPWD Proposes Increasing Civil Restitution Values AUSTIN, Texas -- For the first time since 1985 for most wildlife species, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is proposing increasing civil restitution values that violators are assessed when they illegally kill wildlife. Kris Bishop, Assistant Chief of Fisheries Enforcement, recently briefed the TPW Commission on proposed amendments to Texas Administrative Code. In 1985, the Texas Legislature passed amendments to the Parks & Wildlife Code by adding Ch. 12.301... "A person who kills, catches, takes, possesses, or injures any fish, shellfish, reptile, amphibian, bird or animal in violation of this code or a proclamation or regulation adopted under this code is liable to the state for the value of each fish, shellfish, reptile, amphibian, bird or animal unlawfully killed, caught, taken, possessed or injured." The recovery value of injured and destroyed wildlife is determined on a per animal basis under rules adopted by the commission. For each animal, a value is assigned for each of eight scoring criteria (Recreation, Aesthetics, Educational, Scarcity, Environmental Tolerance, Economics, Recruitment and Ecological Role). The value of trophy wildlife species is determined by a formula based on the animal's Boone & Crockett score. The current values by which restitution amounts for wildlife species are calculated have not been changed since 1985, with the exception of the rules governing the value of trophy wildlife species, which were adopted in 1996. Since then economic factors such as inflation and real-dollar equivalence have eroded the deterrent power of the current amounts, Bishop said, in addition the cost to the department of administering and enforcing the rules has increased for the same economic reasons. The proposed amendment to change values is to the Texas Administrative Code. The amendment also removes references to elk, because the Texas Legislature in 1997 designated elk as an exotic species and the department no longer possesses any regulatory authority on it. Some examples of proposed changes include the following: Animal Current Proposed Nutria $3 $5 Armadillo $8 $13.50 Bobwhite Quail $15.50 $26 Gray Fox $35.50 $59.50 Javelina $63 $105.50 White-tailed doe $163 $273.50 Eastern Turkey $525.50 $881.50 Ocelot (E) $1,150.50 $1,929.50 Desert Bighorn Sheep $2,850.50 $4,780.50 Bald Eagle (T) $7,100.50 $11,907.50 Staff has been directed to consider an adjustment to the amounts used in the current formulas for White-tailed and Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope and Desert Bighorn Sheep. "If these recommendations are passed, the only people affected will be those who have damaged a wildlife resource so I do not forsee an abundance of opposition being voiced. But we do welcome any and all public comment," Bishop said. The proposal will go to the Texas Register for public comment. Comments about the proposed rules may be submitted to Bishop, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744; (512) 389-4630; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. -30-

The Deal
- $30 for one entry to the Graffiti Run 5K (a $55 value)
On Sunday, November 3, runners take off from Balloon Fiesta Park for the annual Graffiti Run. The first wave departs at 9 a.m. with waves following every 10 minutes. Armed with a race T-shirt, headband, and color packet, runners dash, dance, prance, and skip along the 5K course with the goal of finishing in the most fun and most colorful way possible. Proceeds from the race benefit local charities.
The Graffiti Run
The creators of The Colorful 5K use the term "run" very loosely. Less of a race, and more a celebration of the human spirit, The Graffiti Run encourages participants to dash, dance, prance, skip, cartwheel, or walk the course as they douse each other in vibrant hues that span the full spectrum. Each run also donates a portion of proceeds to a local charity, which range from Special Olympics affiliates and scholarship funds to city cleanup and beautification projects.

A former Crystal Palace and England legend is to appear in court next month charged with actual bodily harm.
Kenny Sansom, of Bromley, who played for Crystal Palace, Arsenal and England, appeared before Bromley Magistrates on November 23 charged with ABH.
Police were called on November 22 after they received an allegation of an incident involving Mr Sansom and a woman.
He was arrested and subsequently charged.
The 55-year-old last year revealed he had been battling alcoholism and at one point was sleeping homeless on the streets.
Mr Sansom, who is heralded as one of Crystal Palace's finest youth players, made more than 172 appearances for the Eagles.
He made his debut when he was 16 and was part of the famous team of the 80s which topped the old first division at the start of the 1979 season.
Since the former left back revealed his drink problems he has been doing some work at Crystal Palace, helping to host VIP nights and speak to guests on match days.
Mr Sansom, who made 86 England caps and played in two World Cups, also received help from the Professional Footballers' Association.

Before you go hunting for bugs, put together a bug hunting bag with a magnifying glass, some jars and maybe a sketchbook to draw what you see.
You might print out our "Good Bug Survey" to better track your finds.
You might print out our Bug Bingo sheets to play a game while you hike.
You can also read about bugs in Ranger Rick magazine.
Some bugs use camouflage to hide from predators, but others just hide, so be sure to peek under leaves.
Welcoming good bugs can help your garden grow better (because plants get pollinated). And if you welcome a few spiders, they might eat up those bothersome bugs like mosquitoes.
Once you get familiar with the bugs in your yard, remember to try a bug hike further from home. You hopefully will see new bug friends, like this fuzzy caterpillar.
It's exciting to find an empty cicada shell in the hot days of summer, or to watch a monarch caterpillar nibbling on a milkweed leaf. Insects tell us a story about the health of our habitat and climate. (Plus cicada shells are just so cool!)
Never get too close to a bug until you have identified it.
These bugs are milkweed beetles. They are harmless to look at, but if you were a bird and ate them, you'd get a nasty taste. They are fun to watch because they live in clumps on milkweed and have such bright stripes.

Any belief can be justified. But that is why we call it belief, it isn't bound to proof. -- Frederik Kerling
Market players too often rely on faith rather than proof when it comes to the market. They find reasons to believe that the market will act in a certain manner no matter how the market is actually performing. Even in the face of terrible price action there will be those who will tell us that everything is wonderful and that we'll regret not staying highly invested.
Market pundits always talk about how weak action is a great buying opportunity. They form some argument and, even they really can't know how much lower the market will go, they act as if you don't hurry up and put your money at risk you are sure to miss out on all the great opportunities. They don't demand proof of better market health, but simply rely on arguments about fundamental factors that aren't at all certain or even knowable.
In a market like we have at present, when great technical damage has been done, investors need to ponder whether they will simply rely on faith in order to buy or do they demand proof before putting money at risk?
There is not shortage of arrogant people in the stock market who are convinced that they possess some special insight into the future. Even though the best investors are wrong on a consistent basis, there are some who view the market as a stupid and emotional beast that is never doing the right thing.
The truth is that the vast majority of time the herd that drives the market is right. It is only at extremes that they are proven wrong. Generally, if you run with the herd you will do better than those who try to fight it. At some point things shift and we have to be quick to adjust, but no theories or beliefs or arguments will defeat the herd when it has momentum.
After the hard hit the market has suffered the last couple days there is no question that we are due for some sort of bounce soon. It is practically reflexive that we see a countertrend move after a big drop.
The important thing is to not mistake a bounce for a major turn in the overall trend. There are always going to be some bounces, and some very big ones, within a downtrend. Trade them if you are so inclined, but they are just the first step in proof that things may be shifting.
Make this market prove itself before you put your precious capital on the line. You can always find some pundit with a theory to tell you to buy. They feel that all that is needed is the power of their intellect. We all know many smart people, but none of them can really understand the way the market beast thinks and act.
The key to good investing is to put your trust in the way the market actually acts rather than rely on arguments of pundits who usually have an agenda other than your financial well-being.
We have another shaky start this morning, but the bounce buyers are likely to give it a try. Comments by President Obama today about the fiscal cliff are likely to serve as a catalyst.

Energy Price Outlook
Oil prices are expected to generally trend lower over the next few weeks, with WTI potentially falling toward $80/bbl and Brent toward $100/bbl. The prospect of sub-par economic growth should remain a negative catalyst along with potential increases in carbon and alternative energy legislation, weak signs of investment in oil futures, and high levels of oil stocks and production. Support will be offered by potential progress in fiscal cliff negotiations, progress in Europe, and from the possibility that the Chinese economy recovers.
Yesterday's trade finished 65 cents higher in WTI while Brent gained 43 cents. The rally began around 11:15 am EST on little news except that Nigeria's Qua Iboe exports loading from end-Oct to December are delayed by 4-9 days. Such a story would be more positive for Brent than WTI, but that wasn't the case. A rumor surfaced later that the Russian defense minister had tweeted that an explosion took place at Iran's Bushier nuclear plant. But the tweet was considered a hoax because PM Putin's inner circle doesn't tweet and the account was set up one day before. We would attribute the rally to a bounce following Wednesday's $4.27/bbl selloff.
More weight seemed to be given yesterday to the fiscal cliff as the reason behind Wednesday's selloff, rather than the Greek austerity vote and worries over Spain's problems spilling into Germany. Issues with Greece and Spain have been around all year, however, and the Greek vote was successful later in the day. The new information on Wednesday came from the election, in our view, and could adversely impact energy prices going forward. The issue will be the likelihood of slow growth and four more years of either big government (like 2009-2010) or ineffective government (like 2011-2012). Current prospects of Keystone XL approval are low too, and may also have explained WTI's out-performance of Brent yesterday. Of course, the fiscal cliff discussions are an issue, but so to will be how much compromise is struck.
The fiscal cliff is the expiration of the payroll tax cut (social security), Bush income tax cuts, Bush dividend/capital gains, and the sequestration. The CBO said the economy will contract as much as 0.5% next year if Congress fails to stop the fiscal cliff from occurring. The president didn't deal with it earlier this year because he campaigned on hiking taxes in the expectation that he would secure both houses of congress. That didn't happen, and republicans face mid-term elections in two years while the president does not. His hand may be stronger and he's an ideologue, which may signal he'll stick to his guns. He didn't pivot after the 2010 midterms, so chances may be low now. Both Boehner and Reid signaled compromise on Wednesday but the issue is far from settled. We think that the threat of the fiscal cliff and slow economic growth will weigh on energy demand and therefore prices for the foreseeable future.
Natural Gas
December futures rose 3.0 cents yesterday after inventories showed an increase of just 21 bcf. That fell short of the consensus expectation of +27 bcf and helped the market rally about five cents afterward. The rally continued as the session progressed, but the market only ascended to the highs made during the past two sessions. Some support was seen in the session's second half from NOAA's updated outlook on temperatures, which showed that October was 0.3 degrees below normal and broke the 16 month streak of above-normal temps. NOAA also showed less likelihood of El Nino forming this winter but did not say that La Nina was likely though. El Nino typically suggests above-normal temps in the western portion of the country and below-normal temps in the southeast.
Power outages associated with the Nor-easter totaled only around 150,000 according to the DOE. 600,000 customers in the Northeast are still without power due to Sandy. The lack of power demand and near-term forecasts for above-normal temperatures suggests that the market may find pressure in the near-term. The positive side could be boosted by the dropping of the El-Nino watch, however, we would not feel comfortable being positive on gas prices at least until the long-range forecasts are updated by the CPC in a week or two.
Global Economic & Dollar News
» China's Outgoing President Hu Jintao said in a speech yesterday that he wants to make China's development much more balanced and should double its 2010 GDP and per capita income for both urban and rural residents by 2020.
» China's Next Leader is likely to be VP Xi Jinping.
» PBoC's Zhou said that the Chinese economy was showing signs of improvement.
» Greece's Parliament passed its package of austerity and economic reforms late on Wednesday. A vote on an austerity budget will take place on Sunday, but should be assured after Wednesday's vote.
» Spain's Auction yesterday drew better than expected demand. Despite that, yields increased around 14 bp after Market News reported that OMT activation appears unlikely this year. The thinking is that if Spain can sell in the open market, it doesn't need the ECB to buy its bonds.
» Initial Claims were 355K vs. 365K expected. Continuing claims were 3.127M vs. 3.262M previously. The number was pushed down by reduced claims amid power outages at state offices following Hurricane Sandy, according to the Labor Department. The department also said that other states that didn't see as many power losses processed more claims.

Grains Commentary
Published Thursday morning, 11/8/12
The overnight markets have been fairly benign as trading ranges have been narrow with minimal volume. The beans have traded both sides of unchanged with the market hovering near unchanged at 8CST, meal is down slightly in the nearby while slightly higher in the deferred, oil is modestly higher, corn is marginally higher and wheat is up a few cents. The Matif wheat market is still on the front page of news as it posted another contract high today making that 4 consecutive days of contract highs.
The USDA will release its monthly S&D figures tomorrow morning and with nearly all the harvest done one would think that the data on tomorrow's report shouldn't change too much into January...think again. History shows that there can be some radical changes from November to January. For tomorrow's report it is estimated that the bean and corn yield will increase modestly, beans are expected to be near 38.5 while corn will be 122.1. The data that we receive would agree that the bean yield is on the rise while the corn data would not, in fact the data we collect for corn yields would actually point to a slight decrease in overall yield. The harvested acreage is also a number that is nearly impossible to get your arms around and most likely the figures tomorrow will the similar to the figures of a month ago. The harvest figures are expected to drop in the December S&D report. The CO figures are also interesting, even with an increase of yield for beans the projected CO figures are unchanged at 130, and this points to both a very robust export markets as well as profitable crush margins in the US.
The weekly sales data for the most part is disappointing with corn still having only 157.0mt, wheat is 209.mt, beans are poor at 186.4 while meal continues to be robust at 194.0mt and oil had an impressive week at 36.4mt. The bottom line to all of this is that with such big product sales what the beans may loss on the export channel will quickly be absorbed in the domestic crush pace. There was an announcement of 152.0mt corn sale this AM, as we have mentioned over the past few days the US is getting closer to doing much more export business in corn.
The basis in beans and corn both increased again yesterday with bean basis at the Gulf trading as high as +96 over the SF.
The outside markets are mixed with equities higher, crude oil is up $1.09, RBOB is up 2.40, cotton is up .29, the DCE is lower in all the soy markets but higher in corn, the Matif markets are higher in every markets with wheat posting another contract high and the MDEX finished 25 ringgits higher.
The OI increased in corn by 4180, wheat was up 18548, beans were up 4572, and meal was up 171 and oil dropped by 884.
The option market continue to waffle around as price direction remains in the same ranges, we would point out that even with price movement from week to week being flat the daily moves that are required to justify these current levels have been paying. The downside bean puts continue to be cheap at 19%, for those who think that beans could fall hard (with SA still doing well this is a possibility) look at buying 5 SF 14 puts vs. selling 1 SF 15 put at even $, there are 2x1 SH put spreads that also seem like value. We find it interesting that trade seems extremely bearish new crop beans and corn while these are the cheapest flat price commodities and at the same time WZ13-CZ13 is trading at its widest levels at $2.65. With the future spreads still being heavily inverted owning the nearby gamma vs. the deferred Vega still seems attractive. There has been massive call buying in bean oil recently with Bache buying over 15k calls but yet volatility is still under 20%, not sure what to make of bean oil but future volume has been massive in recent days as are the options...something is going on but can't put a finger on it yet. The wheat is wheat...it's starting to brew and has the making for a 7-10% volatility spike coming soon. With the USDA report tomorrow the CF options at 21% seem like the best value, or look at doing some calendar spreads of buying CF vs. CH just for tomorrow's report.

Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Wisconsin speak during the vice-presidential debate at Centre College on Oct. 11, 2012
On Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden proved that he is no statesman. While his demeanor may have been surprising – even shocking – to viewers and pundits across the political spectrum, it quickly evolved into the focus of post-debate analysis.
In one of the most disrespectful and arrogant displays of partisanship we have ever witnessed, Biden was smug, interrupting, condescending, dismissive, smirking, laughing about national security failures, and badgering the moderator for more time (which he got).
Biden showed that being older doesn't always mean you're wiser, more distinguished, or even better behaved. A title is rather meaningless if you aren't qualified for the job or fail to rise to the occasion.
Biden has been a professional politician for about as long as Congressman Paul Ryan has been alive. When Ryan was still learning how to walk, Biden was well on his way to becoming one of the youngest senators in U.S. history. Yet after 36 years in Congress, two attempts at the Democratic presidential bid, and four years as vice president of the United States, Biden showed he is either as immature as the day he started or in a state of regress.
View Photo Gallery: The vice-presidential candidates square off on taxes, the economy, Medicare and foreign policy in the only time they will face off during the campaign.
Biden also repeatedly showed a lack of common courtesy, reportedly interrupting the Wisconsin congressman 82 times throughout the debate.
Biden's behavior did not reflect a man who has dedicated himself to public service, but rather, a man who has spent his life as an uncompromising career politician. If he wasn't interrupting the conversation to spout his own partisan rhetoric, he was rolling his eyes, laughing, and shrugging dismissively as if he was above the conversation. He was not only rude to his opponent, but also disrespectful to the office of the vice president.
Biden's actual rhetoric was no better. He began the debate with a stunning display of either incompetence or downright deceit.
He was asked by the moderator point blank why the Obama administration's first reaction, which was repeated for days, was to blame a video and protests gone out of control for the death of four Americans in Libya including our ambassador? Biden responded:
However, testimony at a congressional hearing Thursday, hours before the debate, made it clear that the State Department knew it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. In addition, there are reports that the intelligence community, which Biden repeatedly threw under the bus, knew it was a terrorist attack within 24 hours. Yet, Biden claims "we," the administration, reported what they knew when they knew it. This can't possibly be the case. President Obama was still blaming an Internet video for the violence in his speech to the United Nations, two weeks after the terror attack.
To make matters worse, when asked why more security was not provided when the consulate requested it, Biden kept digging. "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again," Biden responded. Again, not true. Testimony before Congress clearly showed that Obama's State Department was aware and denied additional security requests.
Ironically, the most stinging criticism of President Obama came from Biden himself. He looked right into the camera and said,
The American people are looking at how the president has handled the "issues of the day" – the terrorist attack on our embassy – and that doesn't bode well for the President.
As the debate moved past international policy and our failures in Libya, and cutting past the constant interruptions and condescending attitude of the vice president, one other key factor stood out, a drastic difference in how the two men seeking to be our vice president view faith.
Paul Ryan clearly and succinctly explained how faith shapes his life. He said:
He went into further detail explaining his view that "life begins at conception" – a view he has consistently held and backed up with a strong pro-life record. Ryan took on the rampant religious liberty violations and pro-abortion agenda of the Obama administration. He said:
Our church should not have to sue our federal government to maintain their religious liberties. And with respect to abortion, the Democratic Party used to say they wanted it to be safe, legal and rare. Now they support it without restriction and with taxpayer funding. Taxpayer funding in Obamacare, taxpayer funding with foreign aid. The vice president himself went to China and said that he sympathized and wouldn't second-guess their one child policy of forced abortions and sterilizations. That to me is pretty extreme.
Ryan is exactly right. It is something we have been saying for quite some time. Forcing people of faith to fund the abortion industry and pay for abortion-pill coverage in their health insurance is a direct violation of religious liberty. Ryan even directly asked Biden that if faith were so important to him and the Obama administration, "why would they [the church] keep suing you?"
Biden on the other hand, while claiming "religion defines who I am," took a strangely disjointed view of faith. He tried, unconvincingly, to explain how he accepts his "church's position on abortion," but won't "impose it on others." Yet, almost in the same breath, he said that we should impose Catholic social doctrine to help those who can't take care of themselves through government coercion.
As we have explained before, Jesus' commands to take care of the poor cannot be accomplished by abdicating our own personal responsibility and forcing others through government coercion (taxing, spending, and redistribution of wealth) to do that job for us.
While we don't yet know if this debate had a measurable impact on undecided voters, it provided an eye-opening look into the Obama administration. The American people have now seen a disinterested Obama and a condescending Biden in the first two debates, a stark contrast to the competence and consistency of Romney and Ryan. If these patterns continue, the cumulative effect over the next few weeks could be enough to put Romney-Ryan over the top.

Point guard Juwan Staten has been a college basketball player for less than 12 months, and he's already on his third school.
He thinks this one will stick.
"After this long wait I have finally decided where I will finish out my collegiate basketball career...West Virginia University!" Staten announced on Twitter late Saturday. He since has changed his Twitter avatar to the WVU logo and his profile to indicate he is joining the Mountaineers. He calls himself a "just a 19 year old kid tryna make my dreams come true."
Staten averaged 8.5 points and 5.4 assists as a freshman at Dayton but announced his decision to transfer almost immediately after the season ended -- before coach Brian Gregory even left to take the job at Georgia Tech. The Dayton Daily News reported that Staten never openly clashed with his UD coaches, but that the Flyers "played like a team with chemistry issues."
Following his departure from Dayton, he announced his decision to transfer to Penn State. But he reconsidered after coach Ed DeChellis left the Nittany Lions for Navy.
West Virginia seems a good fit for Staten because of coach Bob Huggins' long background of success dealing with challenging players. Staten will be eligible to compete in 2012-13 and will have three years remaining with the Mountaineers.

A lord has become the new chairman of the health trust which runs the city's hospitals.
Professor Lord Patel of Bradford, said his appointment by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has come at an "exciting but challenging time" for the NHS.
He succeeds David Richardson, who steps down on June 30 after serving three consecutive terms in office, which is the maximum allowed under the Foundation Trust's constitution.
Lord Patel said: "I am very excited and honoured to be taking up the position of chair at the Trust.
Bradford is my home and I am committed to ensuring that Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust continues to improve and provides an excellent service for all the people of Bradford."
Trust chief executive Bryan Millar said: "We are delighted to welcome Kamlesh to the Foundation Trust, his wealth of experience and insight will help us to successfully meet future challenges for the benefit of Bradford.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank David for his enormous commitment over the years and the legacy he will be leaving behind as the outgoing chair."
Mr Richardson, who has been chairman for nine years, said: "My time at the Trust has been very rewarding. I have had the privilege of working with an outstanding group of people who work tremendously hard to ensure the people of Bradford receive high quality care and great clinical services."
Lord Patel is a social worker by background and moved into academia establishing the Centre for Ethnicity and Health at the University of Central Lancashire and specialising in research connected to the reduction of health inequalities.
Alongside this work he has held a number of public appointments including chairman of the Mental Health Act Commission, National Strategic Director with the Department of Health (Race Equality and Mental Health), a non-executive director of a number of public bodies in the areas of substance misuse, mental health and social work, including the Care Quality Commission.
He entered the House of Lords in 2006 as an independent peer and was later appointed as a Minister in the Government's Whips Office in the House of Lords. Lord Patel chaired the National Prison Drug Treatment Strategy Review Group which resulted in the publication of The Patel Report and subsequent policy changes in the delivery of prison drug treatment.
In addition to his duties as a member of the House of Lords, Lord Patel is senior advisor to the vice-chancellor of the University of East London, vice-president and professorial fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health and Institute of Healthcare Management, professorial fellow of the Institute of Mental health and patron of a number of charities based both in Bradford and nationally.


text: Phone use put on hold when class is in session By Amanda Gibson, Pocahontas County High School March 12, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Technology is rapidly evolving. People today can plug dates into virtual calendars, listen to music and take photos all on the same device. People around the world use their BlackBerrys, iPhones and other smartphones constantly.Pocahontas County High School students are no exception. Recently, though, the school has been more strictly enforcing its "no cellphone" policy. Students have been put under pressure to keep their technological devices out of the classroom and in their lockers.Teachers have been asked to take a student's phone if they see it out during class. Vice Principal Derek Lambert said the big push is because the policy is not being enforced. He has not seen a policy like this at other schools, but said while it is in place, he will enforce it.Another reason for the push is the consequences of cellphone use. If students acquire the school's Wi-Fi password, they could use it for cheating or other inappropriate Internet behavior.Senior Patrick Martin said he understands why the school has the policy. However, he thinks the school overemphasizes the use of phones and feels that the policy is too far-reaching.Some students are very protective of their phones and refuse to turn them in. Lambert said if there is reasonable suspicion that something inappropriate is on a student's phone, the phone is allowed not only to be taken, but also searched.The same policy goes for teachers. Although it is not stated in the teacher's handbook, teachers are expected to abide by the same cellphone use policy as the students.Junior Lorena Rose doesn't mind the policy. "I don't like cellphones. I think they're a distraction," she said. "We don't have cellphone service here. People shouldn't have them out."Lambert disagrees. He said that, despite the policy, he believes technology is an asset to education. For example, the West Virginia Department of Education uses Twitter to distribute information about education.Lambert said a Twitter account for Pocahontas County High School would be beneficial. The school could tweet about events and academics.Though he will enforce the policy as it stands, he would like to see it alleviated so that students could access the Internet and Twitter from their cell phones while at school. This way, the school could take advantage of students' interest in technology and use social networking sites to motive them to become more invested in their education. Martin agrees with the concept of the policy. However, he said if a student is using his or her phone for school purposes, there should be no punishment.Gary Beverage, the school's technology specialist, explained that when a device is brought into the school, it immediately tries to connect to the Internet. If it connects to the Internet, it acquires an IP address, and the school offers limited IP addresses.He compared the school's Internet to a highway. He said that the highway could be moving fine until you put a tractor-trailer on the road. Cellphones and iPods are the tractor-trailers of the Internet. Beverage said the school is currently trying to increase the size of its Internet pipeline so devices that connect to the Internet will not pose so much of a problem. This process will take time and cooperation, though.

For Immediate Release
Washington, DC – The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Lions Clubs International (LCI) have launched their first joint in-country activity in Macedonia dedicated to improving literacy among children with disabilities.
Christie Vilsack, USAID Senior Advisor for International Education, and Linda Madden, wife of Wayne Madden, the 2012-13 Chairperson of Lions Clubs International, are attending events to celebrate International Literacy Day and the global partnership, September 9-11, including a public event at a local library in Washington, D.C., a visit to the South Jersey Eye Center in Camden, N.J., and a vision screening demo at the Georgia Lions Lighthouse for the Blind in Atlanta, GA
This project builds on the Memorandum of Understanding between LCI and USAID signed on June 26, 2012, to promote reading among young children with disabilities. "USAID is known for its commitment to teaching every child to read in developing countries," said Vilsack, "Lions Clubs International is known for its volunteerism on behalf of sight impaired children. Combine USAID and Lions in a country like Macedonia and you can count on results: training teachers to identify children who need glasses, referring children with more serious sight problems, translating reading materials into Braille and providing local support for families."
Lions Clubs International is the largest service club organization in the world. LCI's 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs are serving communities in 207 countries and geographical areas around the globe. Since 1917, Lions Clubs have aided the blind and visually impaired, championed youth initiatives and strengthened local communities through hands-on service and humanitarian projects. "Lions have made a significant commitment to supporting the visually impaired and promoting literacy around the world. Our project in Macedonia brings both of these important initiatives together to help children who need us most," said Lions Clubs International Foundation Chairperson Wayne Madden.
Students with disabilities represent one of the largest cohorts of children who do not attend school. In fact, one-third of out of school children in developing countries have a disability and recent research shows that disability is a stronger indicator of nonenrollment than either gender or class.
USAID's Education Strategy is based on the premise that education is foundational to human development and critical to broad-based economic growth and poverty reduction. A key goal is to improve reading for children in primary grades and provide access to education for children and youth. Since early grade reading competency is essential to success in later grades, children who do not learn to read at an early age will likely make limited educational progress throughout their lives.
Since early 2010, USAID/Macedonia has worked to increase opportunities for primary school students with disabilities to access education, mainly by pioneering the use of assistive technology via the e-Accessible Education project. In partnership with a local organization, Open the Windows, USAID/Macedonia has introduced an assortment of assistive computer peripheral devices and provided teacher training on how to use information technology to enhance the skills of students with disabilities that attend regular classes. In addition, through the Youth Employability Skills Network, USAID/Macedonia will build the capacity of NGOs of youth with disabilities, the Employment Services Agency (ESA) and secondary schools in selected municipalities to better serve youth with disabilities who are completing their secondary education, or who have registered as unemployed and are seeking work. Staff from the NGOs, ESA and schools will be taught how to advocate for and provide youth with disabilities with structured training in employability skills, work-based learning opportunities, and career counseling services so they can be competitive on the labor market and have equal employment opportunities.

From Man Cave to Cave of Man
For a long time I have wanted to give my garage/man cave a facelift. I got tired of the plain entertainment center,cheap desk and shelves, so I decided to upgrade. I started by building a 10ft long X2ft wide work bench/desk. While I waited for material and funds I constructed temporary shelves out of fence boards which I put in between the wall studs. Next I covered the wall behind the bench with brick paneling, then I put up shelving rails and brackets and made my shelves of the same wood used for bench top. Both the bench and shelves were stained dark walnut. I used my buddies Ryobi brad nailer, circular saw and jigsaw. The brad nailer is fantastic!

Photo Gallery: Civil War re-enactors
SAN BERNARDINO - Muskets, swords and men clad in the blue and gray uniforms of North and South all had their places in the city's central library when volunteers from the American Civil War Society came to provide a "living history" lesson.
"At school, they teach you the Civil War was about slavery, and that's really all you get," said David Grimsrud, president of the society.
"These people fought in the war. These people died in the war," he continued.
Grimsrud, who wore the grayish uniform of a Louisiana soldier, said this in a room filled with array of historical artifacts and replicas from the Civil War era.
A visitor to the Feldheym Central Library could have learned that a Civil War soldier may have carried a sewing kit that he called his "housewife," or what the portrait of Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis looked like when printed on rebel currency.
Library visitor Rebecca Gonzales, 41, brought her daughter, Stephanie Quintana, 11, to Saturday's event.
Stephanie said she enjoyed displays of the era's hoop skirts and being taught how soldiers had to rinse the salt from their pork rations before eating.
Gonzales said she was impressed with how heavy Civil War firearms were.
"The guns were really heavy. That's a lot of weight on their shoulders," Gonzales said. "Now I respect them even more."
The day's events also included Abraham Lincoln re-enactor William Peck's recitation of the Gettysburg Address, in which the 16th president declared his hope that "government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth:"at the Nov. 19, 1863, dedication of Gettysburg National Cemetery.
The relics and props included such instruments of death as rifles, pistols and the .54 caliber bullet known to history as the "Minie ball."
"It shattered bone. It's going to come off," re-enactor Debbie Gulledge said while showing both a Minie ball and the kind of wooden leg given to a soldier unfortunate enough to have been hit by such a large bullet.
Gulledge dressed in fashions of the Civil War era, which in her case included a bonnet and a bright yellow ribbon.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Gulledge said her fascination with the Civil War began with her visit to Gettysburg as a 12-year-old. Her husband, Rodger Gulledge, however, is a descendent of confederates.
His ancestor, Thomas Gulledge, joined the Confederate army after returning to Arkansas from California, where he had tried to find a fortune during the Gold Rush.
Rodger Gulledge wore the gray uniform of his ancestor while standing alongside Steven Pavich, who spent his Saturday in the blue of a Union sergeant.
Pavich delivered lessons on the weapons infantrymen and cavalry troopers used on both sides of the conflict. His collection included a 10-pound musket, a 30-pound sniper rifle and a Henry rifle, an early repeating firearm that Pavich said was too costly for widespread use despite Lincoln's endorsement.
"Lincoln actually fired the Henry on the White House lawn, and he wanted all of his troops to have them," Pavich said.
Other re-enactors showed examples of the games, Bibles and cooking implements soldiers used on marches and in camps.
Also, re-enactor Larry Duncan of Redlands, also known as "Doctor Malarkey," spoke to the history of Civil War medicine.
Contrary to popular belief, Civil War doctors did use anaesthesia before operations, Duncan said.
Civil War doctors used chloroform or ether to anaesthetize wounded patients, Duncan said. Surgeons would stuff cotton into a funnel-like device called an ether cone, soak the cotton with anaesthesia and let the patient breathe the fumes emanating from the wide mouth of the cone.
Although anaesthesia provided some relief, soldiers still suffered from the medical ignorance of the day. Doctors had yet to learn that germs cause disease or that they needed to wash their hands before operating.
Saturday's living history event is the first in San Bernardino Public Library's series on Lincoln and the Civil War.
The next event is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday. Don McCue, director of the Lincoln Memorial Shrine in Redlands, is scheduled to speak on the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Rev. Dennis Morgan Brown is scheduled to appear as Martin Luther King the following day.
Other planned events are actor Robert J. Harper's performance as escaped slave and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass on Jan. 22 and Cal State San Bernardino professor emeritus Ward McAfee's lecture on Lincoln and the Constitution.
Feldheym Central Library is at 555 W. Sixth St., San Bernardino.

SPRING HOPE, N.C. — Though an overwhelming majority of North Carolina sweet potatoes find their way to supermarkets and restaurant tables, the processed market is showing increasing demand.
Thomas Joyner, general manager of Nash Produce Co., Nashville, said processing demand keeps increasing.
He said there is a lot of opportunity to increase processing demand.
Joyner points to Burger King adding sweet potato fries to its menus and noted how the Sonic Drive-Ins are adding sweet potato Tater Tots.
"There's a lot of opportunity for sweet potatoes to gain footing and really do well.," Joyner said. "Retail stores have end caps of waffle fries and hash browns. Five years ago, you couldn't find a bag of (frozen) sweet potatoes. It's set to itself and is the new potato. Everything they've done with russets, they're doing with sweet potatoes. It's added an entirely different facet to the industry."
Joyner said processing demand constitutes about 12% of Nash's sales.
Grower-shippers say the explosion of value-added fresh-cut product along with frozen cubes, mesh and other processed products help boost fresh sales.
"The fresh is growing really big because the frozen sweet potato french fry has been a big category in the U.S.," said George Wooten, president of Wayne E. Bailey Produce Co., Chadbourn. "Processing helps grow fresh. A lot of these processors have a lot of money. They have been advertising in magazines. Any time you use the word sweet potato, it helps all categories."
Stewart Precythe, president and chief executive officer of Southern Produce Distributors Inc., Faison, said some giant food processors supply McDonald's and other quick-service outlets with french fried sweet potatoes and other products.
"It used to be mostly baby food," Precythe said. "Now, all segments of the processed industry are interested. I don't know any segment of the processed industry that's not looking at them or getting into them."
Burch Farms, Faison, is seeing an increasing pull from processed market buyers.
"We have already had our meetings with people this year, booking poundings," Jimmy Burch Jr., salesman, said in late August. "They're all saying they may need more this year than last year. They're being very aggressive going after new customers and expanding the deal."
Processing demand constitutes 35% to 40% of Burch's sales and represents a growing segment, he said.
Burch said processing demand likely increased by up to 500% after frozen sweet potato french fries hit the market and began entering fast-food chains in 2010.

"Is It Really Possible To Housebreak a Puppy In 5 Days?
Title: "How To Housebreak a Puppy"
Website: How To Housebreak a Puppy in 5 Days
It happened!
I wasn't watching her and she peed all over my Berber carpet… And with a small puppy you're not going to see it until it's already happened… To say the least- I was upset.
I smiled on the outside as I picked her up… but inside I was fuming.
I knew I needed help but wasn't sure where to look. Wasn't this housebreaking supposed to come natural?
I guess not.
As a last ditch effort, I went looking for the best information I could find. But I needed more than just 'free tips'. Who could help me stop this before it got out of hand? I'd read a shocking statistic that the #1 reason a puppy ends up in a shelter was because of housebreaking problems. I didn't want Sally to become a part of that frightening statistic.
But I am ashamed to say that I was quite frustrated and was about to take her to the pound after only two or three weeks of having her.
At the time, she wasn't the bundle of joy I'd fantasized about.
I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to potty train her by crate, paper, pad or to go outside. I was clueless. And I think Sally was as confused as I was. So I went to Google and searched "puppy training".
The first ad I saw was titled 'How To Train My Puppy In 5 Days'…
That had ME written all over it. So I clicked…
The first thing that hit me was the similarities between their story and mine. I don't know about you but I like having a face behind a website. I'm not much for the big company feeling. After getting this system, I was literally blown away. This was not just a course on how to housebreak your puppy as the title would have us believe.
It is the most complete puppy training tutorial I've ever seen. You're shown how to use the dog's natural behavior… in your favor. NOW I know the importance of beating the bad habits *before* they sink in.
Here's the good news:
Implementing these tactics had my puppy housetrained in 5 days!
Some courses tell you to -figuratively speaking - go boil a pot of water. This course assumes nothing. Trey tells you what a pot is, where the kitchen is, what water is, how to put the water in the pot, then put it on the stove, how to turn on the stove and when to turn it off. That's the kind of attention to detail we're talking about here.
The focus of the course is training your puppy, specifically BEFORE bad habits are molded… and then he gives you step-by-step instructions to housebreak your puppy… and finally he gives some controversial information that goes against the grain of most of today's trainers.
There's a chapter for anything you could think of concerning puppy training. And it's very well done. As you see, I'm not the only one blowing the trumpet that this system rocks.
When you complete this system, you'll be able to enjoy your puppy again… The frustration is gone. Trust me- I couldn't say this two weeks ago.
The only downside of the system is the production values. Compared to the some of the slick and professionally polished tutorials that are out there, the How To Train My Puppy course is real meat 'n potatoes kind of stuff. Quick and easy to read.
Trey is not a poet… but an expert in puppy training. He often lets that show through. But I didn't want a War And Peace Novel- I wanted help training my puppy …and fast.
But you know what? He's human, and that's exactly the sense you get when you're reading this course. It's just like being in a live classroom where stuff happens and the teacher needs to adapt. Although it's a little quirky at first, you easily get used to it and it's almost like having Trey sitting beside you, guiding you through every step of the process.
If you're prepared to put in a little time to learn, this system will blow you away.

Fascinated by the eccentricities of English social customs, Tony Ray-Jones spent the latter half of the 1960s travelling across England, photographing what he saw as a disappearing way of life. Humorous yet melancholy, these works had a profound influence on photographer Martin Parr.
Parr has now made a new selection, including over 50 previously unseen works from the National Science and Media Museum's Ray-Jones archive. Shown alongside The Non-Conformists (Parr's rarely seen work from the 1970s), this selection forms a major new exhibition, which demonstrates the close relationships between the work of these two important photographers.

IT'S that time of the year again. Valentine's Day is here and whether you're loved-up or dreading it, we have 10 ideas to set you up.
From romance to no-mance, and every quirky alternate in-between, there will be no excuse for being unprepared.
Bare in mind, these ideas come from a singleton, so take them with a pinch of salt.
1) Go choo-choo for each other with a Rail Ale Trail Tour. East Lancashire Railway will be hosting a Beer Lovers Valentines Special on February 15. Starting from Bolton Street, Bury, you'll be treated to more than just the sights of your sweetheart. The tours cost £31.50 per person and include a guided tour, pub stops and a lunch along the East Lancashire Railway. Call 0161 764 7790 for more information and to book.
2) Football on the brain? Been to Southampton but never been to Scunthorpe (Tinie Tempah joke, please forgive me) Accrington Stanley v Scunthorpe (weather permitting) would certainly prove your love to the man in your life. Kick off at 7:45pm, under the twilight, what could be more romantic...
3) Fancy a climb up Pendle? No? Don't blame you! Stop off at The Pendle Inn instead. Barley's Country pub provides a warm feel, with delicious food, and for Valentine's Day they'll even treat you to live music. Along with a deal to moo-n over: 2 Local Rib-Eye Steaks and a bottle of wine for £40, you can't go wrong! Call 01282 614808 to book... And to hear the vegetarian alternative.
4) If you'd prefer a cosy night with your partner, or cat... Treat yourself to an M&S dine in for 2 range. With a bottle of bubbles thrown in just for Valentine's Day, you can't complain. For £20, you'll be indulged with a starter, main, pud, side, chocolate hearts and wine or a soft drink.
5) If, like me, you'll be spending your Valentine's Day, or Friday night as I call it, with no better company than yourself. Get down to Tesco's/Sainsbury's/Asda (delete as appropriate) and treat yourself to a tub of Ben and Jerry's... After writing this, I may even take it one step further and go for Hagen Daaz.
6) After throwing a football idea in here, I have to even the score and include a Spa day. For £100, Poppies Beautybank on Manchester Road, Burnley are treating couples to a hot stone body massage (both of you!) and extend the treat even further by giving you the option of a Pressure Point Foot Massage or (goodness knows the man would need it) a Tension Relaxing Head Massage. Including Champagne and love heart chocolates just to make the romance that bit sweeter. Call 01282 457995 to book.
7) Sign up to a dating website! Simple yet effective... Unless you're already attached, of course!
8) Does Valentine's Day remind you that you don't spend enough time together? Why not book a mini-break away together? From Blackpool to Venice, the possibilities are endless.
9) Not everyone is as high maintenance as me, for some people it's the little things that make the big difference. If you're away on Valentine's Day, leave a little note under your loved ones pillow to surprise her/him in the morning.
10) Surprise her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Le Rain Florist, based in Blackburn Market has a wide variation of diverse floral bouquets and gift items. Call 01254 669176.
We all know everybody loves the comment section, leave your ideas there!

The Most Extreme Theme Park on the Planet
I'm taking my first coaster trip to the left coast. California's known for Disneyland, but it's also home to what's possibly the most extreme theme park anywhere, Six Flags Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain boasts 15 roller coasters with an another one, Terminator, coming in 2009. Just a few years ago, the SoCal park had more coasters than Cedar Point.
More Twisted Steel Than Anywhere on Earth
With a total of 35 inversions (loops) in the entire park, Magic Mountain's steel lineup has the most inversions of any park by far. (Next, is Six Flags Great Adventure with 21.) Included in the inversions, is a roller coaster landmark. Revolution has the world's first modern vertical loop. The recently enhanced X2 is the only 4th dimension roller coaster and it's said to be an unbelievable experience. Tatsu is the most impressive looking flying coaster around. Superman – The Escape was formerly one of the fastest coasters with a top speed of 100 mph. Lastly, Riddler's Revenge is a record-holding stand up coaster and Goliath boasts the 6th longest drop in the world.
I'll be visiting the park this Thursday. Anyone have any ride tips or general park tips for a first timer? Leave a comment below.

Dreamed of weirder stuff >.>
Then again, there are people who don't dream or can't remember them.
Some people dream every day and can talk about them, last time I remembered my dream was too long ago. D:
Be happy you can remember what your dream was about :P
No not weird. I've dreamt of both TOR and weirder crap... much weirder...

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.
Red Alert 3 asks the question "What If?" What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.

PTFE Fuel Hose and AN Fittings Engine Install
Eliminate That Gasoline Odor and Possible Leaks With PTFE Fuel Hoses and AN Fittings
Change often comes with compromise and that is certainly the case when it comes to todays gasoline. It is not the sweet-smelling, pseudo-solvent fuel we all grew up withwell, most of us anyway. Modern gasoline is an aggressive-smelling chemical with plenty of additives. It burns cleaner, which is great for performance and emissions, but its composition permeates rubber, including fuel hoses. In fact, it can actually seep through rubber hose, drying it out prematurely and causing it to become brittle, crack, weep and possibly fail.
It's an increasingly common problem these days and one you may have noticed, as it manifests itself as the smell of leaking gas. Not surprisingly, that smell also brings the odor of concern for anyone with a higher-performance engine – and it seems to be a particular issue for engines with power adders or others with modifications that require fuel-system upgrades and likely incorporate rubber-core braided-steel hose. Typically, the smell is caused by the fuel "boiling" through the rubber hose as the vehicle sits in garage. Beyond the safety issues of having gasoline vapors in your garage, this smell is not appealing. Also, that smell is just an early warning that a rubber fuel hose is drying out and will eventually fail.
So, while you can't change the gasoline that feeds your engine, you can make a change to the hoses that carry it, eliminating the problem and smell all together. The solution is swapping out the conventional rubber fuel hoses with PTFE-core hoses. PTFE is the abbreviation for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, but you know it more by its common trade name, Teflon, DuPont's trade name for their version of PTFE. PTFE hoses have been around for a long time, used mostly for brake and hydraulic fluid transfer applications. The big advancement in PTFE fuel hoses is that they now are available with a "conductive core" inside them, which is a carbon lining added during manufacturing that, when combined with the fittings that install on each end of a hose assembly, provides a path for any static charge in the line. If you are wondering where a static charge would come from in the fuel line, it's a quirk of the PTFE material. When a non-conductive fluid, such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol, methanol or a similar product, passes through it at high velocities, stray electrons (static electricity) are generated. That's obviously a condition you don't want with gasoline, so the conductive core of the PTFE fuel hose eliminates the chance that the static charge will find a ground and flame-broil your truck like a Labor Day barbeque.
Conductive-core PTFE lines are a specialty of Michigan-based TechAFX (techafx.com), which is who we turned to guide us through a tutorial on the subject and a demonstration of building new AN-type fuel lines and fittings for a ProCharger-blown, 404ci Chevy Trailblazer SS at Motor City Speed, in Walled Lake, Michigan. TechAFX is a leading developer of aftermarket PTFE products, manufactured not only to O.E. vehicle engineering standards, but military specifications. And, yes, PTFE hoses are more expensive than conventional rubber fuel hoses, but not prohibitively so. It's definitely an affordable upgrade and one that you should only need to perform once on the life of your truck, while rubber hoses may need more than one replacement to keep the odor of leaking gas at bay.
The accompanying photos illustrate the basic steps in building a PTFE hose and fittings for use on that blown TrailBlazer SS at Motor City Speed, but they can also be applied to Ford, Dodge/Ram and import trucks. The basic procedure is universal and there are few tips and tricks to keep in mind:
To prevent the four-wheel flambé situation described previously, it is imperative that only conductive-core PTFE hose be used for fuel lines. That is easily determined, however, because the inside diameter of the hose is black. PTFE hose is too stiff for hose clamps. It won't "crush" onto a fitting to create a good seal, like a conventional clamp. So, unique aluminum AN fittings (developed by TechAFX) must be used to secure the new hoses. Bend radius is not a problem with PTFE hoses, but PTFE is stiffer than rubber hose material, although it has a smaller outside diameter (the PTFE hose wall thickness is only about one-third that of rubber fuel hose). That means the new hose can definitely match the bend requirements of most fuel hose applications. Cutting PTFE chose is no different than cutting rubber hose, but AN fittings use a brass "olive" (or ferrule) that crushes to provide the seal at the fitting/hose mating point. Because most PTFE AN fittings are non-swivel, it's difficult to create complete hose assemblies, but TechAFX has a semi-swivel fitting that can be rotated on the hose during assembly to make it easier to build an assembly at home. Although there are a few very-expensive, crimp-fitting PTFE AN hose/fitting products on the market, TechAFX is the only supplier we've found with aluminum fittings designed to work with the more common -6, -8 and -10-diameter hoses for do-it-yourself projects. A couple of other notes: TechAFX stainless steel wrapped, conductive core, PTFE hose called Blackwrap, which is what is shown in our photos. This hose features a black rubber coating that looks great, minimizes abrasion issues and aids in hose assembly. And like the basic PTFE hoses, it is offered in -6, -8 and -10 sizes. Also, one of the longstanding problems with PTFE fittings and hose has been non-swivel designs, which made "clocking" the fittings on the hose very difficult – and fitting the hose to the engine under the hood very frustrating. Our project features a semi-swivel AN fitting design that pretty much solves the problem, but some trial-and-error test-fitting is still required.
We found the project to be very straightforward and easy. And after building the hoses, it was a simple matter of swapping them for the lines on the truck, although that's a project that requires careful relief of the pressure in the fuel system. It's best to let your truck sit overnight before attempting it and even then, wear eye protection and make sure your car is clear of any source that could ignite spilled fuel. Your hands will smell like gas for the rest of the day, but after that, your truck won't.
