Under the Building a New Chicago infrastructure investment program city crews, contractors and utilities have resurfaced nearly 300 miles of streets and alleys in 2013, and nearly 700 miles total since Mayor Rahm Emanuel took office in 2011.
Through various programs, the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) and utilities resurfaced 185 miles of streets and alleys in 2013.
Over the past three construction seasons, CDOT and the utilities have resurfaced more than 475 miles of streets and alleys while DWM has resurfaced nearly 215 miles.
In 2013, Department of Water Management (DWM) installed 75 miles of water mains, 17 miles of new sewer mains, and has relined 42 miles of sewer mains. Through that construction work, DWM restored and resurfaced more than 104 miles worth of arterial and residential streets.
With better coordination on infrastructure improvement projects through CDOT's Project Management Office, both departments and the utilities worked together to reduce the amount of project conflicts that would open up a street more than once. By setting new standards for restoring the public way after construction, the various gas, electric and telecommunications utilities resurfaced more miles of Chicago streets.
In 2013, the City realized a savings of approximately $14 million through the coordination of projects with utilities and the requirements that they fully restore the roadways after their construction projects.
DWM plans to increase their workload in 2014 to installing 85 miles of new water mains, 21 miles of new sewer mains, and relining 51 miles of sewer mains. DWM will also repave between 80 and 90 miles of roadway and install 15,000 new water meters.
CDOT and the utilities plan to resurface at least 175 miles of streets and alleys in 2014. In 2013, CDOT replaced approximately 50,000 street light bulbs in a proactive investment to reduce the number of instances of single-light outages.
Additionally, CDOT installed 4,700 individual units of new energy-efficient street lighting on 300 blocks citywide, including new poles and fixtures, as well as more than 2,200 new alley lights this year. The department plans to relight at least 250 blocks of streets in 2014 with 18-foot-high poles with lights that use 33 percent less energy that traditional street lights.

Speaking on behalf of the U.S. bishops, Cardinal Francis George offered his congratulations to President Obama after he received the Nobel Peace Prize. The Chicago cardinal noted that though more work needs to be done, the U.S. president has already contributed to peace nationally and internationally.
Cardinal George, who is the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as well as Archbishop of Chicago, released a statement yesterday expressing his "congratulations to President Barack Obama" on his receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
The cardinal acknowledged the comments of many critics who have noted that though he has discussed peace, the president has yet to yield results.
"As he has graciously said, much of the work of realizing a more peaceful and just world for all persons and nations remains to be done; but the prize was given because as President of the United States he has already changed the international conversation," the cardinal remarked.
Fox News reported last week that the award committee chose the president due to his work to reduce nuclear weapons, his commitment to easing tensions with the Middle East and his dedication to cooperation.
The chairman of the Norwegian award committee charged with selecting the peace prize recipient, Thorbjoern Jagland, said that although the president's initiatives have yet to bear fruit, "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."
Cardinal George added that Obama has already contributed to peace in the United States as the "remarkable and historic achievement of his election" has already "changed the relationships between men and women of all races."
"The rich diversity of United States society is now more surely anchored in a national unity that is better able to foster the peace we all are challenged to pursue," the cardinal said, concluding his statement by asking for God's blessing on "the President and his family."

Yeah, you caught feelings for her. Its natural when you're spending a lot of time with someone. Next time discuss those things up front.
You fucked up when you told her you were looking for a relationship. Can't catch feelings in FWB

If so you got played because of the fact you said she was in a relationship were she was abused I believe she was using you as a j/o for all the cuddly things like dates but still fucking around. After an abusive relationship women will not jump right in to another and will usually find a man to simp her and a man to just fuck her on some real just ask her and see what she say to you.

Davies - Spain break no jolly
Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies says the club's break in Spain is anything but a holiday camp.
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 15/02/08 9:38am
Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies says the club's break in Spain is anything but a holiday camp.
Manager Martin O'Neill has whisked his team away as their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United means they have a two-week gap without a fixture.
While some may feel Villa are taking a hard-earned break from their impressive season to date, Davies says the squad are as determined as ever to win a place in Europe.
Villa are currently level on points with fifth-placed Liverpool, although Davies, who was included in Fabio Capello's first England squad, does not think a UEFA Champions League place is out of reach.
Working Hard
"This is no jolly-up. We have been working hard," stated Davies. "In fact, we have done a bit more than we do back home.
"It's certainly no holiday. We are taking this European push seriously.
"Our main aim is to secure a Uefa Cup place, but as long as we are in with a chance of fourth then we'll keep going for it."

(108 quotes found)
"It seems to kill a very large proportion of the birds that it infects. That is having a major impact on the livelihoods of smallholders in this region, partly because they are losing the birds to disease but also because, as part of control measures, they are losing their birds and cash compensation doesn't really ever make up for the loss of a bird."
"Using signaling theory, the conclusion has to be that managers of acquiring companies are using a higher proportion of cash relative to the last M&A cycle, as they believe that there is greater upside relative to downside risk in acquisitions."
"In 2005, a much bigger proportion of China's orders have gone to Boeing. Now Airbus is going on the offensive again."
"The peculiarity of prudery is to multiply sentinels, in proportion as the fortress is less threatened"
"He wanted a minute to look at the injury and that kind of got blown out of proportion. That's why he was out. That's probably the biggest mystery to all of this."
"It's not hard at all. We're both able to do it. Let's just not blow it way out of proportion. We were able to go out for the first time this preseason and be able to get our chemistry and our timing where we want them to be. There's obviously still some time for us to work on that. We were both excited, if we celebrated together or if we celebrated with our other teammates, whatever it may be. We communicated in a way that was suited to both of us."
"We were both excited whether we celebrated together or with other teammates. Let's not blow this out of proportion. It's still early."

Aldersgate United Methodist Church is pleased to partner with the Pope Memorial Animal Shelter of Knox County (on Saturday, May 24th) to care for the animals that we as human beings received as a sacred trust by the Lord upon creation.
The comfort and companionship that comes with the gift of these creatures requires responsibility. When we take them from their natural habitat and create dependency, we must be faithful in our care-giving. Animals of all kinds make our lives much richer in every way possible.
Unfortunately, often times providing support for pets that are "between homes" is costly.
The Church sees its support for the Shelter as a way to enrich the lives of all who seek animal companionship.
Your gift of $7.50 (per meal), will not only be appreciated by the Pope Memorial Shelter (and of course by its OCCUPANTS), but will also present you with the opportunity to play one of the most important roles in our care-giving to all God's creatures by continuing to be faithful.

Charges: Man kept ex-girlfriend prisoner in Olympic National Forest
POULSBO, Wash. -- A 30-year-old Poulsbo man was arrested last week after holding a former girlfriend prisoner for several days, first in the Olympic National Forest then in a shed behind his parents' house, according to charges filed in Kitsap Superior Court. He is also accused of raping his older sister in a separate incident.
According to the probable-cause documents, Jeffery Durham met the victim on Craigslist, and they dated for a while. But, the victim ended the relationship when Durham became "obsessive and controlling."
Earlier this month, Durham convinced the victim to take a drive with him, and they ended up in the Olympic National Forest, where Durham took the victim's clothes, cellphone, credit card and keys, according to the documents. He reportedly kept her there for several days, punching and tackling her when she tried to escape.
According to the documents, Durham transferred the victim to a shed behind his parents' home in Poulsbo, where he again held her against her will and assaulted her when she attempted to escape.
The victim managed to regain possession of her cellphone Aug. 5 and called 911, leaving the line open and the phone in her pocket. The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office was able to find her location because of that.
According to the documents, Durham found out about the call and choked the victim until she nearly passed out. When deputies arrived on the scene, the victim ran out of the shed, saying, "Thank God you found me."
Durham has been charged with domestic-violence assault and unlawful imprisonment and is being held on $300,000 bail.
In addition, Durham was charged last month in a separate incident in which he reportedly raped his older sister after she drank too much and fell asleep at his house back in March.

The House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday passed legislation that would provide federal civilian employees a fiscal 2010 pay increase of 2 percent. The decision comes after the full House approved a 3.4 percent pay increase for members of the military as part of the fiscal 2010 National Defense Authorization Act. It also comes after the House and Senate passed a budget blueprint in support of pay parity among federal civilians and members of the military.
While the proposed civilian pay raise is not on par with the military's at this point, it is still higher than what many private sector IT workers are projected to receive this year. As I reported last month, recent survey results show that more than 35 percent of private sector IT managers believe salaries will hold at the same levels as last year, and 41 percent report that salaries have already dipped slightly. Seventeen percent said salaries are significantly lower than 2008, and just 7 percent report that salaries are higher than last year.

Was wondering if anybody can lend me a point in the right direction so to speak.
So ADB is working but only while booted into the normal OS.
No, nothing other than what you did on Ubuntu. Just install ADB using the Android SDK from their website and plug in your phone to your computer. Done.
Also of note, when you install openSUSE it defaults to KDE as your desktop environment. If you want Gnome, select it during install. Nautilus isn't present in KDE, but it has Konqueror (which is arguably better). Personally I use KDE, but I have a bias towards it since I was a developer for it long ago. Flamewars rage, have raged, and will always continue to rage about what is better: KDE or Gnome. There's no clear answers, but most of KDE's recent bad publicity was due to its 4.0 and 4.1 releases. 4.2 is much better and it can be greatly appreciated.
That being said, you can use Nautilus in KDE if you want as well as Pidgin (Kopete is dieing and doesn't really work anymore).
To get ADB installed and running on Ubuntu I had to follow the guide posted here on XDA which involved some editing here and there. If its the same in openSUSE then I should be able to get it running. Thank's for your help and I am going to probably go ahead and download and install openSUSE. I need to learn linux anyway.
EDIT- Whew, 4gb. Guess I will let this download tonight and come back tomorrow night and install and try it again.
Strange, the SDK worked out-of-the-box for me on openSUSE 11.3 - no editing of anything required.
And yeah, it's 4GB - that is the entire repository. Ubuntu gives you a smaller CD (as opposed to a DVD) then allows you to download anything else you want later. Personally I prefer the DVD, but I also have a 20mbit connection. :P
Well hopefully I wont have to do any editing to get it to work either.
It's downloading at 400kb/s about 3 hours to download so it aint gonna take that long.
Thank's for your help. If I didn't have work tomorrow I would be up late setting all this up because my slide without root just plain suck's. LOL

This sounds like a pilonidal cyst. My sister and son both had one. It's an area around the tailbone that fills with fluid and hurts. They used to call it Jeep Disease because men in the Army used to get it. It's not life threatening...just a bit of a hassle and it can be fixed. Tell your mother about it..she will be glad you took care of it early.

Since coming into the league in 2008, Darren McFadden has been both boom and bust for the Raiders.
After being labeled "injury-prone" after missing several games with injuries his first two seasons, the former Arkansas star broke out with a huge season in 2010, rushing for 1,157 yards and seven TDs, even while playing just 13 games.
This season, McFadden – a terrific combination of power and speed -- was leading the NFL in rushing going into last Sunday's game against the Chiefs, having not missed a game. But after suffering a mid-foot sprain after just two carries, he sat out the rest of the game.
Under head coach Hue Jackson, McFadden has been the focal point of Oakland's rush-dominated offense.
So, the Contra Costa Times' report that McFadden was wearing a protective boot and using crutches Monday obviously raises caution flags over the team, which has dropped to 4-3 after its 28-0 loss to the Chiefs and is struggling to get new quarterback Carson Palmer up to speed after acquiring the Bengals holdout last week.
"Obviously, we're going to have the foot looked at and make sure it's structurally OK," Jackson told USA Today Monday. "We'll definitely know more as we continue to move forward during the week."
With a bye week, the Raiders are optimistic McFadden will be good to go when Oakland resumes play Nov. 6 at home against the Denver Broncos.
"I'm hoping to get him back soon," Jackson said. "One of my plans for him was to get him some rest this week and get him back up and get him back fresh. Because obviously when Darren is rolling, he's one of the best backs in this league. So we need to get him healthy."
McFadden this year has 614 yards on 113 carries, a 5.4-yard average, with four TDs.
The bye week also should give kicker Sebastian Janikowski (hamstring) and middle linebacker Rolando McClain (ankle) a chance to recuperate, also.

Did Kris Humphries' People Leak This Story About Kim Kardashian's Porn Star Threesome?
A year after marrying Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian is finalizing her divorce and probably picking out her next engagement ring with new beau Kanye West. Sure, her fake wedding exposed just how callous and opportunistic she can be, but her behavior wasn't as titillating as stuff she's done in the past. You know, like the sex tape with Ray J that actually made her famous.
Never fear, because RadarOnline and Star magazine have a sexy little tale for you! An adult film star named Julian St. Jox told the tabloid that in September 2001 he had a three-way with 20-year-old Kim and another porn star at a swingers' club in Los Angeles. Fifty Shades of Grey it ain't, but his quotes certainly paint a lurid tale, especially since Kim wasn't yet legal (though I think the age of consent in California is 18) and wasn't yet famous.
"It was around 11:30 p.m. when Kim showed up with a black male. As soon as Kim walked in, everyone was looking. She wasn't known at the time at all, not like today, but for everyone who frequented these parties, she was interesting because she was a new face.
"She was wearing a tight miniskirt and tank top and designer shoes and bag. From afar she looked gorgeous. She had a great body and seemed bright … [she] something special about her: a je ne sais quoi."
Here's how you know this story is fake: He said she "seemed bright." (Rimshot!) Just kidding. Anyway, St. Jox goes on to say that first Kim had sex with a female porn star named Emily Ann, and then he joined in. He reported that Kim "looked like she was enjoying herself very much. She knew what she was doing. She was very responsive to me."
OK, I'm gonna need to take a shower after writing this, shudder. But why are we hearing about this over a decade later? You'd think that this would've come out along with the Kim Kardashian Superstar sex tape in 2007. That's why I have to think that Kim's people had a hand in setting up this interview… no, scrap that, it was most likely Kris Humphries' camp!
That's it. Not that they need much ammo in court, but Kris' prosecution has already grabbed Kim's sex tape as evidence, and they subpoenaed Kanye via Nordstrom box. By putting out a story about Kim attending a swingers' club, maybe they can try and slut-shame her, or make it seem like she was sleeping around to get famous years before it actually happened.

El Cerrito's fire chief is coming to Angels Camp.
The Angels Camp City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to offer the city's top firefighting job to Mark L. Scott, chief of the El Cerrito Fire Department and the Kensington Fire Protection District, pending a background check and other details.
Scott was among 25 candidates who applied for the job when it was advertised in October and November.
Angels Camp Mayor Debbie Ponte said members of the city's almost all-volunteer fire department reviewed the applications and selected seven applicants for further consideration. City council members added an eighth applicant.
A panel made up of Ponte, vice-mayor Curley Middleton, an Angels Camp volunteer firefighter, Battalion Chief Dan Miller of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Mike Barrows, Sonora fire chief, then reviewed the eight applications and chose five candidates for interviews.
Two were invited back for a second interview Tuesday before the City Council meeting, but one of the two declined. Scott appeared for the interview to discover he was the only candidate present.
Retiring volunteer fire chief Roy Soracco and members of the council had high praise for Scott.
Councilman Paul Raggio said, "if Joe Carley was here tonight he'd say we're moving in the right direction with this man." The Angels fire station, where the city council meets, is named the Joe Carley Fire House. Carley was a longtime fire chief.
Councilman Lee Seaton added his endorsement, saying, "when we set out some months ago with our ideal candidate in mind, we had this kind of individual in mind."
Scott, 53, has 34 years in professional fire service, the last 28 with the El Cerrito Fire Department. He has been El Cerrito's fire chief for the past four years.
Before El Cerrito, he was public safety officer with the City of Sunnyvale.
Following the council meeting, Scott said he and his wife, Cindi, planned for several years to move to a smaller town and fire department as they prepare for retirement.

Canine Club
Healthy Animals, Healthy People, Healthy Planet
The Canine Club was formed to promote an interest and knowledge of dogs through education, community involvement, and development of personal interests.
Every year the club hosts an annual Canine Canter. The event is held Saturday of WSU's Mom's Weekend in April and is open to the public. It is a 5k run/walk that students, staff, faculty and the general public can enter with their canine companions. Early registrants receive a t-shirt on race day featuring a student-designed logo on the front. The race route is on campus which makes participants visible to the high influx of people on campus that weekend. This event is the club's biggest fundraiser for the year. The club uses the funds raised from this event and others to bring in lecturers from across the country to WSU to provide members with a broad education that supplements our core curriculum. Lectures are focused on topics specific to the interests of our members. Such topics include canine health, nutrition, behavior and training.
The Canine Club also uses its funds to host "wet labs" for current veterinary students, which provide an extra opportunity to get hands-on training for skills such as performing physical examinations and blood typing patients. In the past, if the funds raised by the Canine Club have been more than what is needed to provide such service to our members, the Canine Club has made donations to the local humane society.

Intel rolls out 800-MHz Pentium III as performance race continues
Post a comment
SANTA CLARA, Calif.-- 'tis the season to be announcing faster microprocessors.
This time Intel Corp. today officially launched its fastest Pentium III microprocessors to date at speeds of 800 and 750 megahertz. The speedy Pentium III chips are made with Intel's advanced 0.18-micron process technology.
Last week, MPU rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. in nearby Sunnyvale said it had demonstrated 900-MHz Athlon processors, which were made with two different versions of 0.18-micron technology. One of prototype processor was fabricated with standard aluminum interconnect lines while the another was produced with copper metal at AMD's new wafer fab in Dresden, Germany (see Dec. 17).
Intel said its 800-MHz Pentium III is now the fastest microprocessor in the desktop PC marketplace. "We are committed to delivering the highest performance processors and platform solutions to our customers," asserted Paul Otellini, executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Business Group.
The higher clock speeds and advanced processor features enable the 800-MHz Pentium III to achieve a SPECint95 benchmark rating 38.4 and a SPECfp95 of 28.9, according to Intel.
Intel said it is currently shipping high-volumes of 0.18-micron Pentium III processors from four fabs around the world. Intel's Fab 11 in Albuquerque, N.M., is slated to ramp up the 0.18-micron process in the first quarter of next year.
The 800-MHz Pentium III processor in Intel's SECC2 packaging technology is priced at $851 each in quantities of 1,000. The 750-MHz processor costs $803 each in similar quantities. Volume shipments of these two speed grades will start in the first quarter of 2000.

Sounds Like A Bargain.
It's been some time since we've reviewed a speaker set here at GR, mainly because the last batch we covered took care of all our audio needs. But just like your mom, we're always looking for a good deal.
The latest buzz over the wire comes from Cyber Acoustics. Like many other hardware companies, CA is trying to break into the gaming world by offering affordable audio that can be used with both your PC or your gaming console. But while they get the price right, some questionable design decisions keep both offerings we tested from reaching the top of the .wav.
GR tested out two sets of CA speakers - the 3550 Platinum system and the 5001 Digital system. The first is a simple two-speaker and subwoofer system, while the latter is a five-speaker, 5.1 surround solution. Rather than jumping into a Ferrari before test-driving a Corolla, we checked out the 3550 two-speaker set first.
3550 Platinum Speakers
The specs cut the mustard. The 3550 pushes 60 total watts through an 8" subwoofer and two flat panel speakers. That's pretty decent power when you consider that the discontinued Logitech Soundman series we reviewed early last year managed roughly the same wattage (and that was a four-speaker system).
The setup is simple enough; as there are only two-speakers, space isn't much of an issue. The subwoofer is a little large considering the output, but will fit snugly under your desk nonetheless.
However, the 3550 suffers from an archaic speaker wiring design. The two speakers are connected by a very short wire, which means they cannot be moved very far apart from one another. They'll pretty much have to rest on either side of your monitor with little leeway. This was fine back in the mid-90's when most people only had to deal with a monitor and keyboard, but these days desks are often cluttered with digital cameras, scanners and printers, making wire length versatility a must. Sadly, these are too limited.
Another drawback is the lack of any sort of software bundle. You're just getting the speakers - no MusicMatch, no MP3 tools, no game demos, nothing.
Furthermore, the system doesn't feature a movable remote satellite for controlling sound on the fly. Instead, there's just a volume dial built into one of the speakers. There is no headphone jack, which is a bummer for those who like to game late at night without crawling behind the desk to hook up the headphones.
The quality is fine, though. The system handles high ends nicely, though the woofer doesn't carry the bass as loudly as we'd hoped. But you get what you pay for, and at 50 bucks, the 3550 is light on the wallet. Yet there are other speaker sets that go for around the same price that feature better wiring, better software and better performance, so at the end of the day the 3550 is tough to recommend.
5001 Digital Speakers
Things are a bit better with the 5001 Digital series, however. Featuring five speakers (2 front, 2 rear, 1 center), 80 total watts and the ability to function with 2.1, 4.1 or 5.1 sound cards, this is a much more thorough set.
Again, the subwoofer isn't the most compact one out there, but it pumps more power than the 3550 and still fits under the desk. The power of the woofer is noticeably beefier - bass rings out much stronger. The satellite speakers feature the same flat-panel design, which is great, but also feature the same annoying wire that connects them to one another. This hurts the 5001 just as much as it did the 3550.
And like the 3550, you won't find any extra software with the 5001. How about a few game demos to help lure in the gamers?
While there is no remote satellite, they added a fader to complement the volume dial. It's an obvious necessity when dealing with more than two speakers, but compared to the kinds of EQ options we've seen from Altec-Lansing, TDK and Logitech, it doesn't hold up. And yet again, no headphone jack. Grumble.
But unlike those other sets, the 5001 won't drain your wallet. At 80 bucks, this is a very affordable way to get five speakers and decent sound. If you just blew a wad on a 5.1 sound card, this is a great way to utilize the power of the card without throwing away too much extra money.
I should also note that both the 3550 and the 5001 are compatible with gaming consoles via an included Y-cable. Just move it to the living room, plug it into your Gamecube, Xbox or PS2, connect to the TV and you're good to go. Of course, you still have to deal with the short wiring problem, so expect to place your front speakers on top of the TV or something.
When you boil it all down, you find yourself with two similar speaker sets, but only one that really offers gamers a decent option. The 3550, while very cheap, doesn't match other similarly priced two-speaker systems like Logitech's Z-340 line. On the other hand, the 5001 Digital set gives you five speakers at a great price without losing too much quality. It's not nearly as robust as the Altec 4100 system or any of the Logitech gear, but you're not paying top dollar.
If you're on a tight budget and don't want to drop even more coin on your PC surround sound, the 5001 isn't a bad choice. Just make sure you have a long headphone extension cord.

Yesterday, set amid a fragmented, mirror-like set, Calvin Klein presented their fall 2012 offerings for men and women. The collection—which strove to explore "the light and darkness of the city"—was a subtle study in contrasts. Highlights were rich, wooly knits that were trimly tailored in a palette of steely grays and sable. Waxed jeans that were tucked into boots had a polished, urbane edginess. A puffer jacket worn over a long overcoat exemplified the season's desire to experiment with traditional silhouettes, shapes, and proportion. A turtleneck layered under a sweater looked cold-weather appropriate and had a contemporary sense of cool. As an added bonus the brand showed-off their underwear line on some utterly delicious, hard-bodied boys, which is hard not to appreciate.

Schools' Cup: Ruthless Rainey grind down Omagh
Omagh Academy 7 Rainey Endowed 14: Rainey repeated their early season defeat of Omagh when they won yesterday's Northern Bank Schools' Cup second round tie.
It was a dour game played in conditions that did not lend themselves to open rugby but both teams attempted to adapt in a mainly forward encounter.
Rainey went in front with a penalty from scrum-half Martin Connolly after 11 minutes but the home team fought back to take the lead 14 minutes later.
Excellent off-loading by Johnny Sproule and captain Gary Sherrard down the blind side led to hooker Lee Warnock touching down for Ashley McIlwaine to convert.
Omagh could have been further in front but failed to snap up another try-scoring opportunity while penalties were also missed. Just before the interval Rainey reduced the arrears with a second Connolly penalty to make the score 7-6.
Just after the re-start another penalty chance was missed and then the Magherafelt side scored their try.
It came from good lineout ball, the forwards working their way up the touchline before winger Finton Quinn cut through to put the visitors in front
Towards the end Rainey put the game beyond doubt with a third Connolly penalty. They are now through to Saturday's third round draw.
Chris Campbell, the Rainey coach, said: "Omagh were strong up front and we did what we could to control them.
"We had the edge in the backs but the soft conditions and longish grass gave us few opportunities to show our dominance.
"It was not the prettiest of ties but I certainly feel we deserved to qualify for the next round."
Omagh coach Ross Hunter said: "We failed to play up to expectations and our defence allowed Rainey to score their try.
"Our line-outs were poor and it was a game we could have won. It was a rather stop-start affair but credit must be given to Rainey as they made fewer errors."

Duke Energy to Lobby for Carbon Tax
7 April 2005
AP. The chairman of Duke Energy Corp said that his company will lobby for a tax on carbon dioxide emissions that would reduce fossil fuel consumption and begin dealing with the global warming problem.
"Personally, I feel the time has come to act—to take steps as a nation to reduce the carbon intensity of our economy," Paul Anderson told several hundred Charlotte business and civil leaders at a breakfast meeting. "And it's going to take all of us to do it."
Anderson acknowledged a national carbon tax would mean bigger utility bills and higher prices at the gas pump. But unless industry leaders take the lead, he said, the long-term outcome could be even more disastrous.
"If we (the U.S. energy industry) ignore the issue, we would be the easy target," he said. "The worst scenario would be if all 50 states took separate actions and we have to comply with 50 different laws."
Duke Power Co., Duke Energy's regulated utility, relies heavily on coal and nuclear energy to produce nearly all its power.
Coincidentally—and antipodally—members of the Australian coal industries were meeting in Sydney in the first conference of the Coal-21 program.
Coal-21 is a program aimed at pushing the potential of advanced technologies to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of coal. The program is also exploring coal's potential role as a source of hydrogen.
Black coal is Australia's most important commodity export, and black (58%) and brown coal (27%) combined account for 85% of Australia's electricity supply. The use of coal in electric power generation also accounts for about 38% per cent of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal the coal industry is setting itself is the reduction or elimination of the emissions, while maintaining the benefits.
Eileen Clausen, President of the Pew Center on Climate Change, addressed the Coal-21 conference this week. The full text of her speech is here.
This morning, I have made 2 predictions: carbon constraints are coming; and coal will remain a crucial source of energy throughout the world. And I have talked about how we can reconcile these facts in two ways: first, by making a much more vigorous commitment to technologies that will reduce the environmental impact of coal generation; and, second, by advancing broader public policies to mobilize real action on the climate issue both in our domestic economies and worldwide.
I believe the only way to address this problem successfully is to unleash a global technological revolution. And the goal of governments, acting multilaterally and within their own borders, must be to adopt policies and strategies that spur this revolution on.
In Australia, in America and throughout the world, businesses continue to receive mixed signals from their governments about whether or not we are serious about addressing this challenge. It is time to erase all the doubts and the uncertainty. It is time to act boldly, government and industry together, to embrace the importance of both technology and public policy in protecting the climate we share.
Companies may well end up taking the lead in this, as Honda and Toyota did in pushing ahead with hybrids even in the absence of a widely-recognized business case.

Hallelujah! The healing has begun. Ultimately, of course, coal cannot be used as a significant energy source, so the Coal-21 program is only a first step on the road of consciousness-raising.
Just as hybrid cars are the available technology which moots the phantom of fuel cell cars, so will nuclear power moot the phantom of greenhouse-gas-neutral coal power.
Or how about a motivation for fossil fuel companies: while coal isn't near the limit of production, oil appears to be. It might be in the best interest of oil companies to lobby for carbon taxes, fuel taxes, to keep demand and supply in better balance. Until now this hasn't been an issue, but if peak production has been reached, perhaps oil companies will lobby to moderate demand... and coincidentally green their images. Healing indeed!

I can't even imagine what the interior is going to sound like during the winter months.
I have definitely pin-pointed two of the rattles as being the two A-pillars near the tweeters grills. The loudest, most annoying and most frequent rattle is somewhere inside the center of the dash. I could probably deal with the few other quieter, less frequent rattles if I could just figure out what the big one is. I don't feel like ripping my dash apart so maybe I'll just take it to the stealer and see what they say. I feel confident enough to take off the A-pillars and try some foam tape, but I'm not 100% sure what the pillars are rattling against. Anyway, sorry for the rant. I know the Impreza isn't a luxury vehicle by any means, but it's a brand new $20000+ car and the interior sounds cheaper than my buddy's 1996 Geo Metro.
I have the same issues with the loud, frequent but intermittent rattle in the middle of the dash, as well as the A-pillar rattle. Again, found that pushing on the tweeter speaker silences the A-pillar rattle temporily, and agree that wedging some foam tape in there will probably do the trick. But its the other rattle in the middle of the dash that's driving me nuts. Mine seems to be coming from the passenger side near the windsheild about halfway between the trip computer and the passenger side A-pillar. Cant seem to stop it no matter what i push on. Made an appointment at the dealership for next week to see if they can find anything, ill keep you guys in the loop.

Vietnamese History: Rối nước
Water puppets.
Water puppetry, or rối nước, is a distinctively Vietnamese art form which arose in the 12th century. In water puppetry, a split-bamboo screen obscures puppets which stand in water and are manipulated using long poles hidden beneath the water. Due to strict restrictions on learning the art of water puppetry, the form had nearly died out before the Maison des Cultures du Monde intervened in 1984 and helped reinvigorate the genre.No longer available

My Mac Pro (2008) was a great machine, but 2008 was a long time ago. The SSD gave it a few more years of useful life, but the end was drawing near. So, back in May, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display. The Mac Pro's SSD died a few weeks later.
Firstly, the screen. If you haven't see one, go check it out at an Apple Store. It is truly spectacular, with 5120 × 2880 pixels. It's like having a giant 27-inch iPhone 6 on your desk. My eyes are now utterly ruined for regular LCD monitors, and my 13-inch MacBook Air looks like someone's drawn grid lines all over the screen.
Secondly, I did skimp on the disk. Full SSD was an option, but I went for a 3TB "fusion drive" instead. After the OWC Mercury Accelsior in the Mac Pro, I swore I'd never go back. But I've gone half-way back. No complaints so far, but I'm keeping a close eye on it.
(Oh, and yes, I'm just going to jump right in here and pretend it's not nearly three years since my last post. This blog was so neglected, Blogger wouldn't even let me edit the template—evidently too much bit-rot and it made the dashboard explode. I had to export all the posts, delete the blog, re-create on with the same name, and import all the posts again.)

Viktor Stalberg was in a deep slumber at his home in Gotheburg, Sweden when the phone rang at 3:30 a.m., on June 30.
"It was the Leafs," he recalled during a phone interview from Chicago. "They told me: "You've been traded, but we don't know where."
For the next five minutes, Stalberg knew he would be wearing one of 29 NHL jerseys in 2010-11. Just not a Maple Leafs one.
"Finally they called back and said: 'It's Chicago.'"
Stalberg is chuckling as he recounted the day he was dealt. He has good reason to be upbeat. After all, if you are going to be moved, the defending Stanley cup champs are one of the better destinations.
Entering play Saturday, Stalberg had three goals for the Hawks, two more than Kris Versteeg, whom the Leafs received in return.
Those stats might be a bit misleading. Despite having countless scoring chances, Versteeg had been snakebit around the net prior to sitting out against the Bruins on Thursday with back ailments. His time will come. He's too good of a player.
Stalberg, meanwhile, continues to battle with the inconsistency that plagued him with the Leafs last season. It's rare that you find the combination of size and speed that he has, but those traits don't always translate into quality shifts.
But with sniper Marian Hossa injured and out of the Chicago lineup, however, Stalberg is getting a chance to play on the top line.
"It's been awesome," Stalberg said, "I knew the Hawks were looking for some younger guys. They're giving me the chance to play with some of the best players in the world."
One of the first things Stalberg did after the trade was to look at the schedule and identify March 5 as the date for his first on-ice return to Toronto when the Hawks meet the Leafs at the Air Canada Centre.

What if your farm is in Sandy's path?
If your farm is in or near the path of Hurricane Sandy as it makes its way aground, it's likely to make life tough for the next few days, especially if you're not prepared.
The good news is that even if you just have a few hours before the storm brings heavy rain and high winds to your farm, you can still take a few steps to prevent major damage to your farm, according to a report from the Cornell University Cooperative Extension Disaster Education Network.
"Long-range preparations can include purchasing or making rental agreements for special equipment, making adjustments to property, and reviewing business arrangements. Short-range preparations should focus on immediate concerns such as turning off propane, moving livestock or equipment to safe places, or updating phone numbers for emergency assistance," according to a Monday report. "Equipment needs may include a generator, fuel, a hand fuel pump, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, a flashlight and batteries, NOAA weather radio and batteries, stored water and feed for humans and livestock, and a camera to document damage."
But, it's more than just getting together the right equipment and supplies. Also, be ready to make sure the land around you is ready for the torrents of water and high winds that are likely in an event like Hurricane Sandy, already dubbed the "Frankenstorm."
"Property preparations can include clearing debris from drainage ditches so water can run freely; checking power lines for clearance, and pruning or removing trees that could fall on lines; surveying buildings for limbs or trees close to buildings; and pounding in extra nails or tightening hurricane straps to prevent wind damage," according to the Cornell report. "Other precautions include clearing away all debris that could blow in high winds, securing farm signs, and photographing valuable items and storing the pictures off-site."
Record keeping is just as important. That's not just taking your files to a safe, secure place; it's just as important to document any damage that your farm incurs, and make sure that you can take care of your farm and family even if property damage is major.
"Photos of agricultural losses are very helpful to the USDA, especially with their livestock indemnity programs," the Cornell report shows. "Farmers and home owners alike should store all business records above flood level, which is generally at least 2 feet off the floor.
"A final long-range preventive measure is reviewing business affairs, including insurance policies, debt level, and finances. Farmers need to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage for homes, vehicles, farm buildings and structures, crops, and flood damage. Finally, farmers should develop an emergency plan for their families and their farm workers and should establish a meeting place where everyone can gather after a disaster. They also need to assign and prioritize preparation and recovery duties."
In addition to stockpiling supplies like fuel, a generator, first aid kits, flashlights, batteries, water, food and feed for livestock, Cornell specialists recommend the following preparations for short-range issues stemming from a storm like Hurricane Sandy:
Monitoring local weather reports for up-to-the-minute information on the storm.
Charging batteries on cell phones and cameras.

Alumni board member balances careers as lawyer and police officer
By Julie Novak
At the stroke of midnight Kim-Toy Reynolds Huh ´77 begins her patrol of the streets of Chicago as a lieutenant with the city´s police department.
Eight hours later, she´s off to run her own law practice specializing in real estate, naturalization and immigration issues.
Like a superhero with a secret identity, Huh balances both careers with ease — she sleeps in the afternoons.
"Sometimes when I´m working I never see the light of day," she says.
With fluency in Mandarin Chinese and a natural desire to communicate and protect people from all over the world, Huh is considered one of the department´s "best and brightest" by Superintendent Phil Cline. Supervising 35 officers on each shift, she strives to keep them out of harm´s way, whether it´s a reminder to fasten their seatbelts or a vote of confidence in their ability to do their best.
"As a supervisor, it´s my responsibility to guide and lead my officers as well as appreciate what they do," Huh says. "For every time I admonish someone, I make sure to praise them three times."
Huh, a widowed mother of two, works on team-building with her officers on and off the clock, treating them like family. She hosts breakfasts at her condo and is known for preparing an annual Thanksgiving feast to bring her team together.
"Each of us is responsible for each other´s lives everyday, and I want officers to know one another and take care of each other," she says.
"She is well-respected by the officers that work for her," says Cline, who first met Huh in 1985, three years after she joined the force. Her fluency in Mandarin enabled her to work on crime prevention in Chinatown for her first 13 years with the department. Her fascination with Eastern culture, which admittedly came from a love of Bruce Lee martial arts films, deepened at CC in Charles Chu´s Mandarin Chinese classes. She discovered her love of language as a child during a cruise to the Caribbean with her parents. The crew members were from Greece, Italy, France, Spain, China and Japan and all spoke in their native tongue.
"I was just mesmerized by communication," Huh says, adding that she speaks some Spanish and German and can say ´I love you´ in 20 different languages. "I wanted to be able to communicate with people all over the world. I have a knack for conversation." So it makes sense that one of her work-study jobs on campus was acting as the switchboard operator and greeting callers with, "Good afternoon, Connecticut College."
Huh continues to serve CC as a volunteer. She is a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, class president, class correspondent and class agent chair. At CC, she was one of only 25 African-American students and is pleased to see the growth in diversity on campus, three decades later.
"CC has really worked on that image and opened the school to make it more welcoming to everyone," she says.
Following graduation, Huh felt ready to "conquer the world." She lived and worked in China for five years using her language skills as a translator and teacher before returning to the States and taking on a career in law enforcement. It wasn´t until 1990 that she decided to pursue a law degree at Chicago-Kent College of Law. She received a J.D. with an international and comparative law certificate and launched her practice in which a third of her clients speak Chinese. She serves as an administrative law judge two days a week for unemployment hearings and administers real estate closings.
Over the years, Huh has met many challenges. She is proud of her work and of her sons Ming-Tai, a graduate from MIT, and Marcus, a pharmacy student at Florida A&M.
The hardest part of her dual career is working after midnight, but Huh says she´s not about to give up something she loves.
"We all have something to offer, and sometimes it´s just being yourself."

All kinds of cool stuff has happened since I've been M.I.A. RB26'ed the Z and SR'ed the 510. Picked up a Hako to play around with on the weekends and a Lamborghini Murcielago SV 670 for a daily driver.
Yeah right.
Truth is, I've just been busy with work, going back to school full time, taking care of my girl, and generally having fun with life. Kind of lost interest in cars and toyed with the idea of selling the wagon, but once it's in your blood, there's no giving it up. The bug to wrench bit the other week, and it's bitten HARD. Been working on the 510, but it's hard since I have no garage and have to do everything in my parking stall in my apartment's garage. They don't like me tinkering with my car in there, so I can't tear it apart like I want to. However, I have been breaking down the interior, piece by piece, so I can remove the sound deadening. It's slow work since I don't want to risk using dry ice and being on the news as the guy found dead from fumes (no ventilation in the garage). So far I've done the front floor pans, transmission tunnel, most of the firewall, and have started on the rear pans today. The majority of the floors are pretty solid, so I'm pretty happy with that. I also have a full urethane bushing kit from Prothane and moog ball joints making it's way over the ocean, and am planning to hit up Gabe at Techno Toy Tuning again for the full front suspension.
Updated plans!
Short term:
*Strip sound deadening/rust repair/Por15.
*Strip undercoating/Por15 undercarriage.
*Suspension refresh. New bushings, T3 front suspension, rear drop blocks, etc.
*Repaint mismatched panels.
*Fix sagging door hinges.
*General maintenance and refreshing of whatevers.
Long term:
*Repaint engine bay.
*Cut and reweld transmission tunnel so I can achieve the massive low.
*Fabricate skid plates/reinforce underbody to protect from the massive low.
*Sick wheels. Something rare. Riversides? Techno Phantoms?
*Bulletproof rear end. Ford 9″ maybe? Not sure, gotta do a lot more research.
Ideally, I want to keep the patina. I want it to look like a low and ratty 510 on some awesome wheels, that everybody thinks is slow until I drop the hammer. I want the outside looking just like it is, but the engine bay spotless and tucked, with the undercarriage looking brand new. I'm weird like that. I'm going to pace myself on this one though, so don't expect a quick build. Unfortunately, I came to the conclusion that since I don't have a garage, the engine swap will have to be outsourced. Hopefully, I can borrow someplace to do most of the work, and just pay to have it set up, but we'll see how that goes. I'm not even sure if I can find a place to put the car on jack stands long enough to take care of the undercarriage.
The worst of the rust:
One day as I was leaving my apartment's parking garage, I noticed a car that I haven't seen before…
I LOVE these old Coronas. The majority of the people living in my apartment complex are old, but there are a few enthusiasts… the fact that it has a brand new license plate has me thinking that somebody just pulled it out of storage with the intent to restore it. Here's to hoping anyway.
Also, I thought I took pictures of a 240z that I is always parking on the street, but I guess they didn't save. Super clean with a vinyl top. New neighbors who are J-Tin enthusiasts would be great! Time to start leaving my number under some windshield wipers…

Not only the toy Hako wagon, but THAT DRAWING IT'S ON! I love cutaway and schematic drawings. I'd love to have that blown up and framed right above my DSalni canvases.
Filed under: Random | Tags: 510, Datsun, My Car, Transmission
Well, actually the UPS man. For some odd reason, whenever I get stuff sent to me, it always gets lost, or the delivery man is too lazy to lug it up to my floor of the apartment building and I have to go to the main depot to pick it up. This was actually delivered in a timely manner.
Big thanks to Steve from Ratsun for hooking me up with this. I'm going to lose the 5 speed dogleg in my wagon for a 4 speed, but at least I'll be able to downshift. Hahaha. I know I've been slacking on the wagon build, but hopefully this will kickstart my motivation.
Stayed with my brother and sister in a small town in Oregon to do some sight seeing and am now in San Francisco and might head down to LA. I really wish I brought my camera or bought a decent point and shoot (didn't want to travel with anything bulky but didn't have money for a P&S).
Oregon is amazing. Everything is green and everyone is super chill. Old cars galore still being driven and every house with a decent sized lot had at least 5 classics rotting away. Not to mention the tons of Datsuns and Toyota Hi-Luxes! We went to the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), since I'm a nerd and caught this in an exhibit for recycling cars…
It's always sad to see a 510 get crushed… even if it is in Hot Wheels form…
I have a not so odd affinity to wheels. But for some reason, I love weird interior things. If I could, I'd open up a store selling nothing but wheels and rare interior parts. Primarily… seats. So far, I've owned a Bride Zeta LoMax (sold), a pair of Integra Type R Recaro Speed seats in red (sold), a pair of black cloth vintage Recaros (need to fabricate seat brackets to run them in my 510) and a pair of orange gradient vintage Recaros (currently in my Z). Nowadays, I'm too fat to fit back into my old Bride, so adjustable and less extreme seats are better for me. People think I'm crazy, but I'd rather have a nice pair of vintage Recaros than Brides… am I the only one?
Browsing JNC, I found my new holy grails for sale:
So 80's! They remind me of the HKS scheme but in a digital camo. The fact that they are power seats with heating (although I wouldn't need it in Hawaii), and power adjustable bolsters would make them awesome in my wagon. Unfortunately, I work in a hotel and our prime demographic is the Japanese tourists. With the tragedies and troubles in Japan, my "play money" income has dropped dramatically, so these will have to wait.
Thanks to Brad, here's another picture of the incredibly clean Corona
from a couple of posts back.
I'm in love.

Named after the mighty and enlivening Amazon river that flows through South America, amazonite is a kind of feldspar mineral much like iridescent moonstone and labradorite, that has been tinted blue and green by the presence of lead and water. Opaque in shades that vary from spearmint turquoise to pale greens with asymmetrical white daubs, amazonite is often cut en cabochon into rounded beads flaunting smooth veneers. In crystal healing, amazonite can be used to dampen hostility and calm the body often through placement on the heart and throat chakras.

First diamond micro-machine takes a bow
Scientists at the US Department of Energy's national security facility have created a micro-machine etched from amorphous diamond, the hardest material in the world after crystalline diamond.
The methods used were the same as those used with current silicon chip manufacturing techniques.
The first diamond micro-machine is a comb drive whose tiny teeth move forward and back as an electrical current reverses constantly between positive and negative. The teeth are just two thousandths of a millimetre apart.
The researchers, at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, say diamond has a number of valuable properties.
Resistant to wear
Its resistance to wear makes diamond ideal for micro-machines that need to function for extended periods of time.
"One estimate in the literature claims that diamond should last 10,000 times longer than polysilicon," said group member Tom Friedmann.
Also, diamond is less susceptible to "stiction" than silicon. Stiction - a combination of stickiness and friction - can render micro-machines useless. This is because silicon is attracted to water, which acts as a kind of glue. Diamond does not have the same problem.
Another advantage is that diamond is biologically benign. A micro-machine such as a tiny drug-dispensing unit could be used in the body without triggering an allergic reaction.
Two types
There are two kinds of diamond: crystalline and amorphous. The Sandia researchers used amorphous diamond because crystalline diamond needs far higher temperatures to synthesise it, and also its surface roughness makes it unsuitable for micro-machines.
Amorphous diamond itself had been impractical because its tremendous internal stresses had made it impossible for the material to stand alone or to coat thickly any but the strongest surfaces.
However, a process developed by Friedmann and his group eliminated that problem.
Silicon MEMs (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) are already used in a variety of applications, ranging from air bags in cars to optical micro-mirrors intended for possible deployment on satellites.
It is hoped that diamond MEMs could eventually offer a harder wearing and more flexible alternative, and in the future could replace silicon micro-machines completely.

Terry is changing his mind to voting off Ruth Marie instead of Sally. Dan and Nick aren't crazy about this.
They're crazy to get rid of Sally. But sadly I think she's gone. It's making it too obvious that she's safe.
I think I figured out why I like Casaya better-it's less predictable over there than at La Mina.
Ruth Marie thinks she's safe since Dan gave his word. She should have asked for a pinkie swear.

Hi Spodder and RosyRump, and thank you both for some good advice!
As of right now, I'll be following AussieLover's advice about finding out how F feels before I even approach this with my wife again. I feel it's a lot safer because, not only has F implied she finds me adorable but wouldn't want to hurt my wife or her husband (which I take to mean she does have an interest in me), F tells us both that we're stuck with her and nothing would push her away.
Spodder~ we've known F for about 7 years now. We're on pretty intimate terms, though nothing of a sexual nature as yet. The closest is sometimes she likes to greet us with kisses. I always love that.
Anyways, my attraction for F started as romantic and evolved towards being sexual. I'm not the kind of guy who can just have sex with somebody; I have to love them and I only ever make love. What my ideal has evolved into is having a perfect triangle with my wife and F, all thee of us in love together and integrating our lives as much as possible, with plenty of room for F's husband to be around us. I know my wife and F may not fall in love with each other, so I am prepared to let things evolve as they will, so long as they both and F's husband are
ok with it. If I discover that this won't work at all, at least at present, I will still be happy with the relationship we all have. What this boils down to right now is finding my peace of mind.
RosyRump~ I very much like your idea of having a sit-down with them both and sharing symbols of my devotion to both my loves. I will keep that in mind should the opportunity present itself.
Thanks again for your input and support! This is the most difficult thing I have ever done, and I appreciate all the advice everyone has given.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Can anybody tell me where to find or the cheapest price for a lawyer to try a Murder case in Tulare County, CA?
5 Answers from Attorneys
If the defendant can't afford to hire a lawyer, the court will appoint one for him. But if he can afford private counsel, cost should not be his sole concern. He should focus instead on skill and experience. There may very well be some relatively inexpensive criminal defense lawyers in Tulare who are quite good at what they do. But there are probably also some who don't have a clue how to defend a murder case. The defendant has too much at stake to focus only on cost.
While I understand price is an issue the more serious a criminal charge the more you need an experienced attorney. Try to focus on quality rather than price
If you can qualify for a public defender, you are often much better off being represented by an experienced public defender than a "cheap" attorney in private practice. You do not want to get an attorney without criminal law experience. Often a non-criminal law attorney quotes a low price for a major case without knowing how much work is involved and then stops working on the case after doing "x" amount of work. You also do not want an unexperienced criminal law attorney who is doing it for the "experience." Assuming that the case is not a capital case it is not necessary that the attorney have murder experience but the attorney must have experience doing serious cases.
Murder is a capital case. Now is not the time for pinching pennies.
Cheap equals inexperienced or bad. Do you really want him defending a case where you could be executed if convicted?? If you don't have money, apply for the Public Defender.

An Application Of Spatial - Panel Analysis - Provincial Economic Growth And Logistics In China
This paper introduces the spatial panel autocorrelation model, utilizes C-D production functions, constructs the spatial econometric model and finally studies the spatial correlativity between provincial economic growth and logistics. By using the spatial package of Matlab software, it verifies the possibility if there is the remarkable autocorrelation of the Chinese provincial economic growth and local logistics. On the base of building the spatial panel model, we research the spatial quantitative autocorrelation of the Chinese provincial economic growth and local logistics.
